Is a man with a. 5 00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:29.280 Gun from whom you cannot escape. 6 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.000 Escape designed to free you from the four walls of 7 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.759 to day for a half hour of high adventure. 8 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:53.719 AH to night. We escape to the Canadian north Woods, 9 00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:59.600 to a lonely wilderness where justice fine strange paths. As 10 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:04.319 janss Oliver Kerwood told it in his famous story The Match. 11 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.480 Just below the Arctic Circle, where blizzards scream in the 12 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.879 winter and tear frozen branches from the pine trees, where 13 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:39.959 the driven sleep cuts human skin like flying glass. There 14 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.400 men know and fear the eternal spirit of the icy North, 15 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.120 the great cold spirit that weaves the patterns of human destiny. 16 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:55.760 Both weaves and destroys forever and again. 17 00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.439 The spirit throws out strange swirls of chance and coenciddents 18 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.480 that meet eventually in a terrible whirlpool, which swallows up 19 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:09.400 the old pattern and creates some new and different one 20 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:10.280 for men to. 21 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.560 Wonder and marvel at. One such swirl in time and 22 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.479 space began months ago and far to the south in 23 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.280 a logging camp near the southern border of Canada, where 24 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.960 two men faced each other on a narrow trail in 25 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.240 the light of a full moon. It began in violence 26 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:32.120 and hatred. 27 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.840 What do you want, lying, Tharn, I've been talking to Genie. 28 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:45.759 She told me what you did? 29 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:47.919 Well, what about it? 30 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.080 She told me all of it, the whole thing too bad. 31 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.919 Lying, But if you can't keep your wife from casting 32 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.919 her eye around, and that's your tough luck. 33 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.199 They one no eyes cast around, and you know. 34 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.560 It all right, then what are you gonna do about it? 35 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.520 I'm not sure yet. Then I'll tell you nothing. You 36 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.159 haven't got a leg to stand on. I'm running this 37 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.039 camp and every man in it, and if you don't 38 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.719 like what I do, then get out. 39 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:14.240 I'm planning to stay. 40 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:16.479 In that case, you'd better get used to the way 41 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:20.560 I run things, men and women. And the next time 42 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:27.199 I drop in, that's it. Eh, Well, then that life 43 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.000 thron drop it. 44 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.319 Get up, thro Come on, get up on your feet, 45 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:43.360 Get up, Throng. What's the matter with you? Thorn? Thorn? 46 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:47.479 A rock under his head. 47 00:03:48.439 --> 00:04:03.080 He's he's dead, Jennie, dry Billy, what's wrong, Geennie? I 48 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:04.560 ran into thorn a few minutes ago. 49 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.599 Oh, Billy, your hand, what did you do? 50 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.319 I hit him, Genie, he started to pull a knife, 51 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.080 so I knocked him down. His head hit a rock 52 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:17.879 when he fell. He's dead. No, oh no, they probably 53 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:19.680 won't climb thorn until the morning. So I've got to 54 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.519 get out of here in the next half hour. Leave. 55 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.360 I'm no here, Geenie. They don't know me. It's just 56 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:25.720 my word. I wouldn't have a chance. 57 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:26.160 We go. 58 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:28.480 Not you. You're going to take the baby and go 59 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:29.920 back to the cottage in New York State. 60 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:31.680 Where are you planning to go? 61 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.120 North? Honey? You a long ways north. I'll have a 62 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.360 better chance up there in the woods. 63 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:36.920 Catch Billy, they always do. 64 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.600 Don't worry. They won't catch me. And somehow, sooner or later, 65 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.319 we're going to be back together again, believe me. 66 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.240 And so in the south, one black swirl of chance 67 00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.800 is born and moved slowly north toward through time and space, 68 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:06.279 moves even as the great Arctic storms move across the 69 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:11.399 faces of continents, and they're ahead of it. Among the 70 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:16.079 tumbled ridges of spruce and pine, another swirl of human 71 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.600 fate moves at the whim of the bleak spirit of 72 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:25.199 that frozen land moves first one way, then another, but 73 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:29.800 centers allays near one certain red coated uniform of the 74 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:35.199 Royal Canadian Mounted Police centers on the hard, lean figure 75 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.800 of a man called Sergeant Brokaw. 76 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.160 Nice shot, sergeant, thanks to birth. 77 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:44.399 The captain sent Peter, Wait, there's. 78 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:50.639 One of Mortagasi. Lep out there, dead center. Brother. 79 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:51.959 I wish I could shoot like that. 80 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.800 Work on it. Good shooting something you'll need if you 81 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:55.920 stay in the mountis. 82 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.360 I guess it's helped you plenty of times? 83 00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.920 Yeah? If you have got there telegram. 84 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.920 Oh yeah, it's an order. The Captain told me to 85 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.439 bring out to you here. 86 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:09.839 Mmm see special assignment for apprehension and return of a 87 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.879 fugitive name Billy Lauring height five eight eleven inches. Wait, 88 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.079 and so on and so on. A senior Hobbs landing 89 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.079 on October third and reported heading north, wanted from murder. 90 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:24.839 Sergeant Brookhaws signed instruction bring back fugitive. 91 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:29.160 They make it sound plenty simple, sergeant, bring back fugitive. 92 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.920 Just await all to sound. When you're assigned to bring 93 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:33.879 a man in, you bring him in. That's always to it. 94 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.040 There's no excuse, no alibi for not doing it. You 95 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.720 can take my wood on a trooper. I've been doing 96 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:40.959 it for twelve years. 97 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.439 And so far you've never missed getting your men. 98 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.399 Not so far, not ever. And I go after a man, 99 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.279 I'm gonna get him sooner or later, in one way 100 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.879 or another. I'm gonna bring him back every time. And 101 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:57.160 that goes for this what's his name, Lauring? You can 102 00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:58.160 bet your life on it. 103 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.759 And so they grew in time and space, these two 104 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:19.000 great swirls of chance, the one hovering in the north 105 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.279 and the other moving toward it, slowly across a thousand 106 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.519 miles and through two hundred and twenty seven days. 107 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:29.519 And one night. 108 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.000 At last they met in a tiny raw pine cabin 109 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.000 hidden in the blizzard frozen marsh, hard up against the 110 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.319 Arctic Circle, and the wild whirlpool born from that meeting 111 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:50.000 created strange new patterns of human life and death and destiny. 112 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:56.279 All right, Laring, let's have your other risk there. 113 00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.680 You don't need these handcuffs. You've got me. That's that. 114 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.519 I don't take chances, Loring. You know it already, of course, 115 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:04.759 But you're under a rest in the name of the 116 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:07.639 crown for murder. You can sit down in that chair 117 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.959 with a stove. Thanks. 118 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:14.319 It's funny. I've lived here all winter, and I've had 119 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:19.040 pretty good luck trapping, been selling first to the Indians 120 00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:21.480 in another month. I've had enough to go away and 121 00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:22.240 meet my wife. 122 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.639 Then you come along, have luck loring, and start back 123 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.680 for the post in the morning, or at least as 124 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:30.879 soon as this blizzard lits up. 125 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:36.799 It'll be three days, it always is. What's your name? 126 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.240 Broke off? Sergeant broke off? 127 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.080 That's kind of funny somehow, to day being the day 128 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:44.720 you found me and I did. 129 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:46.639 I hate to be camping out in that blizzard to night. 130 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.279 Oh what's so funny about to day? It's her birthday? 131 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.600 I mean my wife Jeannie here, let me show you 132 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:58.399 all a loring. Oh no, no, no, no, that it's 133 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.240 all right. It's just a photograph. Hey, let me unwrap it. 134 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.519 See mm she's a pretty girl. 135 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:13.000 Yeah, that and everything else. Sergeant, you married? No had 136 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:14.840 some of her hair that curl? 137 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:18.919 It spinned to the picture, yem read, isn't it? 138 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.919 It's like red gold. We got married on her birthday, 139 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:27.039 so to day's our wedding anniversary too. She wanted it 140 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:28.919 that way, she said, the best things in her life 141 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.960 always happened on her birthday. Yeah, well, yeah, I I 142 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.200 guess it was crazy, but I was so happy when 143 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.159 I got up this morning about what day it was, 144 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.559 and only two months to go in hall. I put 145 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:44.639 two places at the breakfast table, and I propped her 146 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:46.600 picture up by one of 'em. I sat there talking 147 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.799 to her while we eat together. I guess you'd get 148 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.399 like that up here alone. I haven't seen a white 149 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.480 man for three months. I had a little dog for 150 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:00.480 a while, but he'd he died about six weeks ago, 151 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:04.120 and there wasn't any chance to get another one. Genie 152 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:10.000 always liked dogs, dogs and kids. I don't mind my 153 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.639 talking this way to your sergeant. It kind of helps. 154 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:15.120 I don't mind. Why should I? 155 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.559 Well, the thing is, we've always been blamed crazy about 156 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:20.720 each other. It'd never been a part until this came up, 157 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:25.639 and then we had to be, and in another month 158 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.080 or two we'd we'd have been back together. 159 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.240 It's your own fault, Loring, It's not my concern. My 160 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.759 job is to find you and bring you in. I've 161 00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.399 done part of that, and I will do the rest 162 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:37.039 of it. 163 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:40.799 Maybe, so I warn you right now, sergeant, I'll make 164 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:42.720 it as tough for you as possible. I'm gonna get 165 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:46.919 away if I can. You see, I promised her that 166 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:47.919 we'd be together again. 167 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.679 It's up to you, Lauring. But if you start to 168 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:56.279 play rough, I can play a whole lot rougher. One 169 00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.720 way or another. I'm gonna bring you in the stand trial. 170 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:04.399 There's nothing and stop me. Maybe so, Sergeant. You see, 171 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.679 I'm probably the hardest man in the whole Royal Canadian 172 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.799 Mounted Lowering. And that's your hat luck too, because you 173 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.679 might have softened up another man with that stuff you 174 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:14.080 were telling. 175 00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:16.440 You think that's why I talked about it. 176 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:19.399 I don't know, and I don't care. The only thing 177 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:21.279 that matters is that I've got a job to do. 178 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.240 I always have done it, and I'm going to do 179 00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:25.279 it this time. You can depend on that. 180 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.240 I guess. Duty is a big part of your alive. 181 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.679 Not a big part of it, Loring, it's all of it. 182 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:36.159 If you don't mind that. Come fifteen miles of the 183 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:40.799 snow today, last five against the plizion. I'm tired.

In twenty miles to thor Rows, the 250 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:51.600 next cabin down the trail. We might make ten miles 251 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:54.360 if we're lucky, more likely five. 252 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.480 That's right, So why the handcuffs. 253 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:02.039 You've been living up here for three months, Loring. I've 254 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:04.559 got an idea. You probably know some cabin a lot 255 00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:09.720 closer than Thorrough's, some Indian or a trapper, maybe not 256 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:13.879 more than two or three miles away. You want to 257 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:18.240 start breaking trail? Well, suppose I did. What of it? 258 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:20.720 Something good has always happened to me on Jeanie's birthday, 259 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:24.480 and I think it has this time. Sergeant. It's a 260 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:26.759 lot easier to freeze to death and to go back 261 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.240 and die the way I'd be doing it. 262 00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:34.039 So so it's like that. 263 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.000 It's like that, unless you want to make a deal. 264 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:40.840 What kind of a deal, Take off these cuffs, give 265 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:42.480 me that revolver and I'll get you out of this. 266 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:44.799 There's a cabin alron. 267 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:48.000 Sorry, Loring, no deal. 268 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.480 You're a full broke aw.

You can 271 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:04.200 lead off first. We may as well start where four rows, 272 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:09.039 of course, twenty miles. Why don't we sit down and 273 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:11.599 freeze to death here instead of five miles from here? 274 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:15.279 Because I'll be five miles closer to bringing you in. 275 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:19.559 Come on, you're a fool, Sergeant, you're beaten, you know it. 276 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:20.759 Why don't you give in? 277 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:42.079 Come on, Loring, let's get going, Lauring.

I think we'll get Sergeant, 283 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.640 we'll try it. We only had some way of building fires. 284 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:06.559 We could stop and get warm once in a while. 285 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:08.960 Not even an Indian could build a fire in this 286 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:10.039 blizzard without matches. 287 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:13.359 Yah.
