00:00:00I don't know.
00:00:30Let's go.
00:00:38Fill it with premium, Sonny.
00:00:39And take a look at the oil.
00:00:41Sure.
00:00:42And check the tires.
00:00:43Sure.
00:01:00Hey, is that St. Helena?
00:01:05No.
00:01:06No, it's Van Boland.
00:01:27A vineyard!
00:01:30Hey, where are all the grapes?
00:01:33You missed them.
00:01:34The next performance starts in June.
00:01:45Hey!
00:01:47Hey, mister, you don't want to go in there.
00:01:51Hey, that's Van Boland property. It's private.
00:01:54I just want to go and look around and see what I missed.
00:02:00Turn around.
00:02:01Hey!
00:02:02No, no!
00:02:03I'm leaving.
00:02:04Do you want to go?
00:02:06Come on.
00:02:07No!
00:02:08Go on!
00:02:09What's the bee doing out here this time of year?

00:04:20Ahh!
00:04:21Hey!
00:04:22Yoo такие!
00:04:23I told him.
00:04:35I told a darn fool.
00:04:53I told a darn fool.
00:05:23I told a darn fool.
00:05:53I told a darn fool.
00:06:22I told him with bootleg, of course.
00:06:25Run head-on into a cattle truck.
00:06:26What happened?
00:06:27We ate barbecued beef for three days.
00:06:30It was all hungover for the next two weeks.
00:06:34Get up, folks.
00:06:34Come on, folks.
00:06:36Call to you.
00:06:41All right, everybody.
00:06:47Take away from the ambulance.
00:06:48Well, it was in California.
00:06:51Tell me, did your family buy it or do they rent?
00:06:53The Van Bolen's never rent anything.
00:06:57My grandparents planted the vineyards along all these hills.
00:07:00And the town just sort of grew up after.
00:07:02Well, it looks just the way you told me it would.
00:07:05Does it seem the same?
00:07:07Oh, it'll never change.
00:07:10The family's used to that.
00:07:11Change isn't their way.
00:07:12But did you see it happen?
00:07:14Sure, I seen it happen.
00:07:16And you know as well as I do.
00:07:18It was then...
00:07:19Mr. Van Bolen.
00:07:23What?
00:07:23I didn't.
00:07:25We ain't seen you.
00:07:27It's been a long time, Seb.
00:07:29It's almost four years.
00:07:30Yeah.
00:07:30Do we have a couple of cups of coffee?
00:07:32Sure thing.
00:07:33Come and write up.
00:07:34Well, never do that to anybody before.
00:07:38Look who's come home, folks.
00:07:40It's Mr. Edward.
00:07:43Some onions.
00:07:47Youngest heir returns home.
00:07:50All serves much.
00:07:52Would you lay off?
00:07:53Oh, come on, sweetheart.
00:07:55Really, I think it's nice.
00:07:57It's nice to be known and it's nice to be remembered.
00:07:59And these people seem to really like you.
00:08:02It's not that way, Tori.
00:08:04Sure it is.
00:08:05This is your town.
00:08:06Look, I never had a town named after me.
00:08:09I never really had a town.
00:08:12My dad was in the Air Force and most of the places that we live were named after retired congressmen and generals.
00:08:19Here we are.
00:08:23Anything else, folks?
00:08:25Not a thing.
00:08:27Well, well.
00:08:28Yeah.
00:08:34That's why it's so important to me to meet your family.
00:08:37Yeah, I know, Tori.
00:08:41Look, you think you're going to meet a nice American family.
00:08:43Frozen dinners, Wednesday night bowling, get out the vote and back the police.
00:08:46But I've told you, it's not that way.
00:08:48Edward, I know what you've told me.
00:08:50I still want to meet them for myself.
00:08:53And they'll like me.
00:08:55Because I'll make them like me.
00:09:00Look.
00:09:00Grandmothers still European.
00:09:04They like to keep to themselves.
00:09:07They don't like to entertain strangers.
00:09:10I mean, they have their own ways.
00:09:11They're people.
00:09:12No.
00:09:13No.
00:09:13They're Van Bolen.
00:09:14They never heard of me.
00:09:17Give me a cup.
00:09:20Better make it two.
00:09:23Mr. Tucker, did you notice anything unusual before that guy smashed up?
00:09:27Bunch.
00:09:27I ain't seen nothing unusual for close to 30 years.
00:09:34You didn't see them bees.
00:09:36The guy's car was full of them.
00:09:37They were all over him.
00:09:38They were...
00:09:39Look, why don't we get somebody to eat here and go back to San Francisco?
00:09:41What did you see?
00:09:42Oh, no.
00:09:43Not after it took me three months to get you this far.
00:09:45Well, I heard a crash.
00:09:48Now, look, I'm going to go for a visit.
00:09:49Would you like to come along?
00:09:51Okay.
00:09:52Okay, it's your show.
00:09:53You want to see Van Bolen?
00:09:55Let's go.
00:09:56Okay.
00:09:57Way back during Prohibition.
00:09:59Do you remember Prohibition?
00:10:01Yeah.
00:10:02You're too young.
00:10:04You probably don't even remember near Ben.
00:10:06Yeah.
00:10:07Yeah.
00:10:09Coming right up.
00:10:11They can tell you about the bees.
00:10:13He saw them.
00:10:14He had to.
00:10:15Hey.
00:10:35Hey.
00:10:36No children, no pets, no cameras, huh?
00:10:39I have no prodigal sons.
00:10:41They've been off me ever since I left for law school.
00:10:43No law school.
00:10:46They have their own law.
00:11:09Well, here we are.
00:11:17It's perfect.
00:11:20Almost everything around here looks perfect.
00:11:34Turn it around and get it out of here.
00:11:36Fast!
00:11:37Matt, you're in my way.
00:11:39Move it.
00:11:44What are you doing here?
00:11:45This is still my home.
00:11:47Yeah?
00:11:48We didn't know that.
00:11:51Fine.
00:11:53Well, who's that with you?
00:11:55A friend.
00:11:57You cleared it with madame?
00:11:59I didn't clear it with anybody.
00:12:00Go on in.
00:12:12It's not locked.
00:12:13Go on in.
00:12:26It's not locked.
00:12:27It's not locked?
00:12:28No.
00:12:29If you've gotten this far, you're supposed to be one of us.
00:12:31It's only the rest of the world that's locked out.
00:12:32It's only the next door.
00:12:54Who are you?
00:12:57May I ask what you're doing here?
00:13:00She's with me, Father.
00:13:02Edward, I...
00:13:06We didn't expect you.
00:13:08It was an impulse.
00:13:10An impulse?
00:13:12To return home to your family after four years?
00:13:15I've always felt that your departure was rather impulsive.
00:13:19Father...
00:13:20Edward, I'm Victoria Wells, Mr. Remball, and I'm...
00:13:23I've been looking forward to meeting you.
00:13:29You brought a guest.
00:13:32You might say the guest brought me.
00:13:34You know we're not prepared for guests.
00:13:37Father, I wouldn't even be here without her.
00:13:40Well, then, I suppose we should find a place for Miss Wells.
00:13:44Albert, Mother's old room.
00:13:46Yes, that sounds suitable.
00:13:47She was always a guest, too, wasn't she?
00:13:48If you should need anything, Miss Wells,
00:13:54I'm sure Edward can find it for you.
00:14:06He'll be going to tell Madame about you now.
00:14:08Madame?
00:14:10That's your grandmother.
00:14:11Yeah, yeah, you'll be meeting her soon.
00:14:13Come on.
00:14:33Utterly silly.
00:14:34If I listen to your brother,
00:14:37Herbert, I would play the invalid.
00:14:40All we ask is a proper reserve, Madame.
00:14:42Ah, rubbish.
00:14:44One day soon, I will be as quiet as you could wish.
00:14:49Forever.
00:14:50But not yet. Not just yet.
00:14:52My boys never grow up, do they?
00:14:54And what would happen to me if they did?
00:14:57And you?
00:14:58You, Edward.
00:14:59You have had time already to try the world
00:15:03and its little pleasures.
00:15:06Your father tells me you have brought one home.
00:15:09Madame, my guest.
00:15:13Ah, yeah.
00:15:14We have just been speaking of you.
00:15:17Grandmother, permit me to introduce Victoria Wells.
00:15:22I'm very pleased to meet you, Miss Van Bolen.
00:15:24I'm sure.
00:15:26You are from San Francisco, hmm?
00:15:30Oh, at the moment, yes.
00:15:32Actually, I've lived all over the world.
00:15:34France and Germany.
00:15:35My father was...
00:15:43Rosanna, you may serve in ten minutes.
00:15:49Of course, you will join us for dinner.
00:15:51After you've changed.
00:16:00Since my boys were small,
00:16:03I have expected them to dress for dinner properly.
00:16:10A family tradition.
00:16:11You do understand?
00:16:12Oh, yes, of course.
00:16:15My father always taught me to respect tradition.
00:16:19Even those that are different from ours.
00:16:21Excuse me.
00:16:21I don't know what to do.
00:16:22I don't know what to do.
00:16:48I mean, this is ridiculous because of what it really is.
00:16:51Four times what it was last year.
00:16:53That is the tax situation.
00:16:55We had four tax accountants and attorneys...
00:16:58Yeah, Edward.
00:17:00Oh, our dinner has already been delayed.
00:17:04Edward, seat your guest. There.
00:17:14Sit.
00:17:16No, no, no, no. Edward, come sit beside me.
00:17:21Miss Wells can spare you for a little while.
00:17:27Come, come.
00:17:28Yeah, yeah, stop looking.
00:17:34I'm sorry.
00:17:35Yes, late as usual.
00:17:38There was an accident.
00:17:39Someone we know in the village.
00:17:42Just some fool salesman who picked Van Boland to get himself killed in.
00:17:46Greet your brother and his guest, Miss Wells.
00:17:53How do you do?
00:17:56Edward, what a surprise.
00:17:58There was a car wreck when we came into town.
00:18:04Was that the accident?
00:18:05Yes, a crash and then a fire.
00:18:09What did he do?
00:18:12Third degree burns, primarily compounded by...
00:18:16Stupidity, from what I hear.
00:18:19I understand that he almost burned up that used car lot.
00:18:22Father, how did you...
00:18:25It only happened moments before we came into town.
00:18:28Please, please, let us forget about this unfortunate accident.
00:18:34It doesn't involve us, does it?
00:18:39No, madame.
00:18:41Good, good.
00:18:42Now then, let us enjoy our dinner.
00:18:50Eat.
00:18:51Stop stirring.
00:18:55This is a Van Boland specialty, as well.
00:19:02The tender madeira.
00:19:05My father bought his cuttings from the Cape Providence of South Africa.
00:19:10But he was never satisfied with a new world product.
00:19:13That is because he was always comparing it to the great sweet wines of his homeland.
00:19:21And they were incomparable.
00:19:28To my prodigal grandson.
00:19:32And I hope you'll include my fiancé, Victoria.
00:19:38Another of your surprises, Edward?
00:19:40Your fiancé.
00:19:49Ah.
00:19:50Yes, of course.
00:19:52Our best wishes.
00:19:54To your fiancé.
00:20:04Well, it's strangely sweet, as if there were honey.
00:20:11Oh, what in the world is...
00:20:16Miss Wells.
00:20:19Forgive me, I...
00:20:21I wouldn't want you to be harmed.
00:20:22Are you okay?
00:20:24Of course I'm all right.
00:20:26The bee didn't sting me.
00:20:28Never heard of bees flying after dark before, though.
00:20:31Oh, that's quite all right.
00:20:32Oh, shh.
00:20:34We have many, many bees here in the vineyard.
00:20:38They came here with all of us from Africa.
00:20:44They understand the grapes, and we understand each other.
00:20:51In our home, we were in a country where living things move in a dance together.
00:20:59Do you understand?
00:21:00Do you understand?
00:21:01Hmm?
00:21:09Come, Schörner.
00:21:16Oh, Schörner.
00:21:17Here.
00:21:18Yes, sir.
00:21:22Here.
00:21:24Here.
00:21:25Here.
00:21:26Please.
00:21:27The same.
00:21:35Bee came to her.
00:21:36Grandmothers bees aren't ordinary.
00:21:42Edward, you must.
00:21:45You must be tired.
00:21:49Yes.
00:21:51I think I am.
00:21:55Good night.
00:21:59Tomorrow, my dear.
00:22:04Yes.
00:22:06Tomorrow.
00:22:19That's what you wanted, isn't it?
00:22:23Come on, darling, don't cry.
00:22:24I'm not going to cry.
00:22:26Those people couldn't make me cry.
00:22:29They're...
00:22:30I know, they're impossible.
00:22:33Why do they treat me like that, like I was some kind of a monster?
00:22:35I'm not some kind of a monster, am I?
00:22:41Am I?
00:22:42I don't know.
00:22:43Does anything interesting happen to you during the full moon?
00:22:44Well, there's a full moon tonight.
00:22:45Why don't you stick around and find out?
00:22:46It's against house rules.
00:22:47Oh, I'm sorry.
00:22:48I forgot.
00:22:49No tourists, no pets, no men in rooms.
00:22:50After dark.
00:22:51Yeah, and no strangers, remember?
00:22:52Well, that's one they're going to have to change.
00:22:53They better get used to me, because there's definitely another stranger on the way.
00:22:54Oh, I'm sorry.
00:22:55No tourists, no pets, no men in rooms.
00:22:57After dark.
00:22:58Yeah, and no strangers, remember?
00:23:01Well, that's one they're going to have to change.
00:23:05They better get used to me, because there's definitely another stranger on the way.
00:23:09No, no, you rest.
00:23:28Just show me where you want them.
00:23:30No, we are going to plant them together.
00:23:33Yes, madame.
00:23:34Give me that.
00:23:35No, go away, go away.
00:23:40You know, it's astonishing.
00:23:42Really astonished.
00:23:43I have grown old on this land.
00:23:47You're not old.
00:23:48Yeah, I am.
00:23:50I am ancient.
00:23:53You know, it seems like only a little while since your grandfather and I came here.
00:23:59We always thought to go back home, but then came the war.
00:24:05And later, prohibition and depression and another war.
00:24:14And somewhere in all that hardship, this, this became our home.
00:24:26Oh.
00:24:44It's so pretty.
00:24:45It's almost worth it.
00:24:47It certainly is a beautiful place to live.
00:24:58It's more than a place to live, Miss Wells.
00:25:01It's our life.
00:25:04I'd like to know more about your life.
00:25:07Then come along.
00:25:09Come along.
00:25:10Will Ed come back home, madame?
00:25:11Ah.
00:25:12You know.
00:25:13Mathias.
00:25:14Take a bulb.
00:25:15A dry, lifeless-looking thing and plant it deep.
00:25:17And you wait.
00:25:19And when its time has come, it will flower.
00:25:23It cannot help bringing forth the light.
00:25:25And you wait.
00:25:28And when its time has come, it will flower.
00:25:31It cannot help bringing forth what is in it.
00:25:32Yes.
00:25:33Edward will come back home.
00:25:38But that girl.
00:25:39She confuses everything.
00:25:40If we could make her leave.
00:25:41If we could make her leave.
00:25:42No, no.
00:25:43Edward must make the decision.
00:25:45To find the way that she has come, it will flower.
00:25:46It cannot help bringing forth what is in it.
00:25:52Yes.
00:25:53Edward will come back home.
00:25:58But that girl.
00:26:00She confuses everything.
00:26:03If we could make her leave.
00:26:07No, no.
00:26:08No, no. Edward must make the decision, and he will see that she does not belong.
00:26:24These are beautiful. Are they very old?
00:26:28My grandfather brought the first cask from his vineyard in South Africa after the Boer War.
00:26:33Edward, perhaps you'd like to get a bottle of the family reserve for your guest, so that you might sample the fruits of the Van Boland laborers.
00:26:40Good idea.
00:26:45It's all so new to me. I find it fascinating.
00:26:48It is fascinating. You seem interested in learning more about us, Miss Wells.
00:26:53Well, I've lived in so many places, I've learned that if you want to belong, you have to be able to adapt quickly to new ways.
00:27:01And I take it you want to belong?
00:27:04Wherever Edward belongs.
00:27:06Must be nice adapting so readily.
00:27:08Well, my father was the best navigator the Air Force ever had.
00:27:11He taught me how to maneuver in strange places and what signs to watch out for.
00:27:16Really? How are your signs reading on this trip?
00:27:19Well, so far around Van Boland country, they've read no trespassing.
00:27:23Well, I'm sure your father also taught you that new territories can be deceiving, sometimes dangerous.
00:27:31Not if you stick to your course.
00:27:33You sound like a young lady that's very sure of herself.
00:27:36Well, I'm very sure of Edward.
00:27:38Chenin Blanc, the finest.
00:27:41Oh.
00:27:56You find it different?
00:27:57Yes, it is.
00:27:58How do you do it?
00:27:59Ah.
00:28:00That's a family secret.
00:28:02Oh.
00:28:03I could keep a family secret.
00:28:07Does it have anything to do with your grandfather's South African vine cuttings?
00:28:12Actually, it has more to do with Madame's bees.
00:28:16The bees?
00:28:17Oh, well then, the bees must pollinate the grapes.
00:28:21Yes, but more important, they collect the honey from the grape flowers.
00:28:26Then the least touch, the very least touch of honey added to the wine as it verments makes it...
00:28:31Incomparable Van Boland wine.
00:28:33Hmm.
00:28:34Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some very dull paperwork to do.
00:28:39Well, I think a father has a right to expect a little relief one of these days.
00:28:42Edward, you'll be coming home soon.
00:28:45When?
00:28:46In the spring?
00:28:47Well, our school ends in May.
00:28:48And then?
00:28:49If Miss Wells will forgive us, I think we should discuss a little business.
00:29:01Oh, of course.
00:29:08Well, let's get it over with.
00:29:10What kind of business did you have to discuss?
00:29:12The only business worth discussing, Edward.
00:29:15Family business.
00:29:19Well, of course.
00:29:20One, one.
00:29:21One, two, three, three, four, five, five.
00:29:22At least one, one.
00:29:23One, two, three, four, five, six, six, six, six, five, six, seven, seven, seven, eight, nine, seven, eight.
00:29:35Uh, now let's go.
00:29:37Oh, we got it.
00:29:38We got it on the train.
00:29:40We got it on.
00:29:41We got it on the train.
00:29:42We got it on.
00:29:43We got it on the train.
00:29:44Come.
00:29:45They like me.
00:29:46Oh my shirash fruit.
00:29:54Ah, shame.
00:29:56Need a same, huh?
00:29:58Of course, go, go, go. Go, bye-bye.
00:30:07Oh, you. Come, come here. There you are.
00:30:11Are you all right?
00:30:12Of course, I am only demonstrating for our visitors from out of town.
00:30:18How harmless are our little bees.
00:30:20Oh, you're sure enough. Come, come, come, come.
00:30:22Yeah.
00:30:24Ah, you. Come, come, come, come.
00:30:26There you are.
00:30:27It's short.
00:30:29Oh, la, la. Go home.
00:30:31Go.
00:30:33La, la.
00:30:34Go, go. Home.
00:30:37Go, go.
00:30:38Go. Go home.
00:30:41Go. Go home.
00:30:45Yeah. Go.
00:30:53Ah, there you are. Come.
00:30:56Yes, go home.
00:30:59Me too soon.
00:31:00Look, okay, that's a great show.
00:31:02I know what I saw.
00:31:03Yeah.
00:31:04And what I saw was that guy in the car getting eaten alive by bees.
00:31:07Just like those.
00:31:09Oh. Oh, you like me?
00:31:11Well, I like you. I love you.
00:31:13Yeah. Yeah. Go, bye-bye.
00:31:15Go, bye-bye.
00:31:17Have you ever known your bees to swarm anyone, Mrs. Van Boland?
00:31:20Bees are not carnivorous, Mr. Jeffery.
00:31:30Are they, Victoria?
00:31:35Well, I've always heard they prefer flowers to flesh.
00:31:43Well, thank you very much for your help, Mrs. Van Boland.
00:31:46Of course, Mr. Jeffery.
00:31:48Oh, oh, by the way, I must remember to ring up your superior,
00:31:55to compliment him on your efficiency.
00:32:00The bees stay with us because of our flowers.
00:32:04Acres and acres and...
00:32:07Ah, now wait.
00:32:08Ah, I am sure Mrs. Jeffery will enjoy these.
00:32:17Oh, thank you.
00:32:19Well, thank you very much, ma'am.
00:32:22Come on, Roger.
00:32:28Phew.
00:32:29Can I get you anything? Is there a medicine or...?
00:32:43Yeah.
00:32:45Come baby, go.
00:32:46Huh?
00:32:48Go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:32:49That's okay, that's okay, yeah.
00:32:52That is no medicine.
00:32:53No medicine.
00:32:58Quite like this.
00:33:01You have made plans?
00:33:02Yeah, of course.
00:33:04And they do not include this place, your home.
00:33:08Well...
00:33:15No, I guess they don't.
00:33:17And why not?
00:33:19Because it's not the way I want to live.
00:33:20It's a fine life.
00:33:22It is for you if that's what you want, but it's not for me.
00:33:25The family needs you, Edward.
00:33:32Do you remember the kid who came to visit me from the village school?
00:33:37The only kid you ever let on the place?
00:33:39Some child, yes.
00:33:41We were playing, you know, and he knocked me over.
00:33:45He didn't mean to hurt me, it was an accident.
00:33:47They were on him in seconds.
00:33:55They thought...
00:33:56That was a long time ago.
00:33:58What about the accident in the village?
00:34:00That was yesterday.
00:34:01One should think of the future, Edward.
00:34:05That's what I am thinking of, Father.
00:34:06My boys, they have always left to me what did not go into the making of wine.
00:34:22Maybe if you'd let them do more for you.
00:34:26And people need to be free.
00:34:27Are you youngsters?
00:34:30People are never free.
00:34:32They always serve.
00:34:34If they are weak enough of spirit, they serve only themselves.
00:34:40If they are strong, they serve the living community of those they love.
00:34:46They take hold.
00:34:47They take hold.
00:34:49They are the center.
00:34:50The center of the hide.
00:34:52No.
00:34:54Of, of, of, of.
00:34:56Yeah.
00:34:57Yeah.
00:34:59Of the family.
00:35:00Yeah.
00:35:03But there's more to a woman than family.
00:35:06Oh, no. The rest of it is illusion.
00:35:08A woman without family has nothing to cry for, nothing to yield to.
00:35:15What good is life to an empty woman?
00:35:17Huh?
00:35:19Make a woman's life sound awfully hard and unrelenting.
00:35:23It would seem so only to empty women and hollow men.
00:35:28This life is a wonder.
00:35:31It is our destiny, our heritage.
00:35:34We make life.
00:35:38Protect it.
00:35:41We mourn its passing.
00:35:44Our life is beautiful.
00:35:46It is sweet.
00:35:51It is not a cheap holiday.
00:35:55What's all this talk about a holiday?
00:35:57Want to get away from it all? Come on, go for a walk.
00:35:59We were speaking of those things most worth having.
00:36:02Like living your own way? With someone you love?
00:36:06You seem to have lost your values.
00:36:09I'd like to go for a walk now.
00:36:10Values, madame?
00:36:12What would you call the notion?
00:36:14That one can live only for himself?
00:36:17I don't have to answer you.
00:36:19Of course not.
00:36:21Of course not.
00:36:22Who must answer to an old woman?
00:36:25Please, Edward, let's go for a walk.
00:36:26Madame, I...
00:36:27Oh, go along, go along, my dear.
00:36:29We will speak again.
00:36:32When you are free.
00:36:37Come on.
00:36:38Why don't you say what you're thinking?
00:36:52I'm not.
00:36:54What?
00:36:55Thinking.
00:36:57Well, you better think.
00:36:58Your grandmother never accepted me.
00:37:01Look, forget her.
00:37:02Please.
00:37:03Okay, I can, but can you?
00:37:06She really gets to you, doesn't she?
00:37:08She raised me.
00:37:13I mean, you damped down all the feelings of...
00:37:16of love and...
00:37:18resentment and fear and respect, but...
00:37:21But now you're wondering about us.
00:37:24No, darling, it's not like that.
00:37:37It's duty, Tori.
00:37:39It's what she taught us.
00:37:41Things she doesn't see is that...
00:37:42What?
00:37:43My duty is with you now.
00:37:47I mean, you're my family.
00:37:52Oh.
00:37:59She'll understand.
00:38:01No.
00:38:03She won't understand.
00:38:06But it doesn't make any difference.
00:38:08I got you.
00:38:11That's not right.
00:38:13Nobody should have to choose like that.
00:38:15Oh, forget it.
00:38:16That's their way.
00:38:18When I was little, it seemed like you...
00:38:23Ah!
00:38:37Get to town.
00:38:42Call for help.
00:38:43Look, I'll do what I can, okay?
00:38:44All right.
00:39:04Mr. Tucker.
00:39:06Oh, Lordy, young lady.
00:39:08What's the matter?
00:39:09Somebody's hurt down the road.
00:39:10I need to call an ambulance.
00:39:11I haven't got any money.
00:39:12Could you...
00:39:13Oh, wait a minute.
00:39:16There you go.
00:39:18Just ask for the state police.
00:39:20They'll send an emergency vehicle.
00:39:22Who was it?
00:39:23What happened?
00:39:24I don't know.
00:39:25A lineman fell.
00:39:27Ah, yes, operator.
00:39:28Could you get me the state police, please?
00:39:29It's an emergency.
00:39:31Hello, this is Victoria Wells.
00:39:35I'm calling from Tucker's Cafe in Van Boland.
00:39:38Yes, there's been an accident.
00:39:40We need an ambulance.
00:39:44Helmet, Edward's down the road.
00:39:45He needs help.
00:39:46He needs help.
00:39:49This is Dr. Van Boland.
00:39:50I'm awfully sorry.
00:39:51There's been a mistake.
00:39:53Yes.
00:39:54Everything's all right now.
00:39:55Oh, that's okay.
00:39:59There hasn't been a mistake.
00:40:00The man needs help.
00:40:01And whatever it is, we can take care of it.
00:40:04We don't need any help from anyone.
00:40:13Can't you do something?
00:40:17I live here.
00:40:19Well, I don't.
00:40:31How the hell did you find out about...
00:40:32Your girlfriend seemed to think this was a police matter.
00:40:50What's wrong with you, Edward?
00:40:52Do you want to destroy us?
00:40:54Isn't there something you can do for her?
00:40:55Isn't there something you can give him?
00:40:56He's dead.
00:40:58Now, what happened?
00:41:02He was working on the pole, and he opened the transformer box.
00:41:10And?
00:41:11The bees!
00:41:14Look at him, Edward.
00:41:16There isn't a single mark on him.
00:41:21Look at him.
00:41:28I'm gonna take him over to my office.
00:41:31I'm gonna make out a death certificate.
00:41:34I think I'll go along with you.
00:41:36Is there something we gotta talk about?
00:41:40Leave it alone, Edward.
00:41:43Now, the bees frightened him.
00:41:45And the bees frighten everybody.
00:41:50Edward.
00:41:52Just leave it alone.
00:41:53Just leave it alone.
00:42:07Is it still all in the family?
00:42:10The family is everything.
00:42:12Of course, you never understood that, did you?
00:42:14Always going your own way.
00:42:16And I'll always go my way.
00:42:18Away from this...
00:42:20partnership with the...
00:42:23The bees belong to us.
00:42:28Are you sure that you don't belong to them?
00:42:31Dr. Van Boland?
00:42:33We got a call a while ago from down at Tucker's Cafe.
00:42:36It, uh...
00:42:38Apparently got cut off.
00:42:39Something about an accident.
00:42:41Yes, a lineman for the phone company fell.
00:42:43The phone company fell.
00:42:56Roger Newsome?
00:43:01What happened?
00:43:07He fell.
00:43:08He was working on a pole and he fell.
00:43:10Why?
00:43:12Roger was an old hand.
00:43:13He worked poles for ten years.
00:43:15What made him fall?
00:43:17We didn't see him.
00:43:19He just yelled and he fell.
00:43:21We?
00:43:22You and Dr. Van Boland were together?
00:43:25No, no. My girlfriend, Victoria and I.
00:43:28By the way, what's your name?
00:43:30Edward Van Boland.
00:43:38You wouldn't have any objection if I had the coroner take a look at Newsome, would you?
00:43:42I am the coroner here.
00:43:46You wouldn't be the mayor and the city attorney, would you?
00:43:50You know, that's funny, Sergeant. That's real funny.
00:43:53You've got a nice sense of humor.
00:43:56Now, if you'd like an examination of your own, you're certainly welcome to it.
00:44:00There's no mystery here.
00:44:02That's a matter of opinion.
00:44:04Medical opinion?
00:44:09Why don't you let me set that examination up for you, huh?
00:44:14Oh, I'll take care of that, Doctor.
00:44:16Well, there doesn't seem to be much else for me to do.
00:44:20So it seems.
00:44:22For now.
00:44:38I'll ask you if you'll join her for lunch.
00:44:39Tell...
00:44:41Tell her no thank you I'm leaving.
00:44:42Yes?
00:44:44Come on, master.
00:44:46If you'll join her for lunch.
00:44:48Tell her no thank you, I'm leaving.
00:44:50Yes, ma'am.
00:44:52Rosanna?
00:44:54Tell her I'll be right down.
00:44:56Yes, ma'am.
00:44:58Rosanna?
00:45:00Tell her I'll be right down.
00:45:02Yes, ma'am.
00:45:04Yes, ma'am.
00:45:06Yes, ma'am.
00:45:08Yes, ma'am.
00:45:10Tell her I'll be right down.
00:45:38Yes?
00:45:40Yes, my dear.
00:45:42What?
00:45:43He.
00:45:44I see.
00:45:45He did.
00:45:47And Edward.
00:45:48Oh.
00:45:49Ah, that is reassuring, isn't it?
00:45:52Mm-hmm.
00:45:53Come on.
00:45:55Uh, Hulman.
00:45:57I will speak to you later, huh?
00:45:58Come.
00:45:59Come, sit and have some food.
00:46:02Mm, quick.
00:46:03Ooh.
00:46:10Ah, you, you seem thrilled.
00:46:19Well, we saw a bad accident down near the helmet just formed.
00:46:23What happened?
00:46:25What did you see?
00:46:27I'm not sure.
00:46:28Um, I heard a scream.
00:46:32Edward went to help, and I ran into town to phone.
00:46:35Yeah, then you saw nothing.
00:46:37Only the man, all crushed.
00:46:42Edward should have let someone else see to the man.
00:46:46No, there wasn't anybody else.
00:46:48There is always someone else.
00:46:51Edward must learn.
00:46:53He's been away a long time, Mrs. Van Boland,
00:46:55and he's learned quite a lot.
00:46:59Such as?
00:47:00Such as that there is no one else.
00:47:04The tea is cold.
00:47:05Yes, ma'am.
00:47:07I have known my grandson for 25 years.
00:47:14He's headstrong, impulsive, but in the end,
00:47:19he will do his duty unlike those of his generation.
00:47:27I'm sure you're right.
00:47:28And his duty is to his family.
00:47:32It is.
00:47:33We've spoken of it often.
00:47:34Here.
00:47:38Aha.
00:47:39Honey, my dear.
00:47:41No.
00:47:43No, thank you.
00:47:44I'm supposed to watch my weight.
00:47:46You have a lovely figure.
00:47:50I'm sure you are attractive to many men.
00:47:57Perhaps it would be best for you to return to your San Francisco suitors
00:48:04and let Edward return to his family.
00:48:11But you see, I am his family.
00:48:15Oh, nonsense.
00:48:18Nonsense.
00:48:20Edward thought I shouldn't tell you.
00:48:22Tell me what.
00:48:24We've been living together for two years.
00:48:31And I do want you to know before we leave.
00:48:34Know what?
00:48:35About the baby.
00:48:37I don't believe you.
00:48:43So you see, we are his family now, aren't we?
00:48:47I won't believe you.
00:48:49Aren't we?
00:48:51I won't believe you.
00:48:52Aren't we?
00:48:53I won't believe you.
00:48:55I won't believe you.
00:49:00Mrs. Van Boland?
00:49:01Mrs. Van Boland?
00:49:03Mrs. Van Boland?
00:49:05Mrs. Van Boland?
00:49:07Mrs. Van Boland?
00:49:13Rosanna!
00:49:15Mrs. Van Boland?
00:49:33What's keeping him?
00:49:46Why can't he...
00:49:48Because he has nothing to tell us yet, Matthias.
00:49:52Can't we get someone? A specialist?
00:49:56You won't need a specialist.
00:50:03How?
00:50:11How?
00:50:12I'll tell you how.
00:50:15By bearing all the pain, all the responsibility of 50 hard years.
00:50:21Specialists.
00:50:22You want specialists, Edward?
00:50:24We had them up here two years ago.
00:50:26We had four of them here.
00:50:28They did all that specialists can do.
00:50:30I can't believe that, Helmut.
00:50:31After all, with modern medicine...
00:50:33Modern medicine can't cure 70 hard years, Father.
00:50:37It can't cure a heart that simply won't work.
00:50:43Helmut, were there any marks on her?
00:50:47Sure.
00:50:48All the marks of a long life.
00:50:52He means bee stings, Helmut.
00:50:54Bee stings?
00:50:56Well, now, how could there be?
00:50:58No, that's not true.
00:51:00Because I saw her, and they were all over her, and they killed her.
00:51:06You must be losing your mind.
00:51:09Bee stings?
00:51:11On the gum?
00:51:12Oké.

00:52:42Sergeant Jeffries.
00:52:44Who?
00:52:48Sergeant Jeffries.
00:52:50I saw you on the porch with Mrs. Van Boland.
00:52:54You're not a Van Boland, are you?
00:52:56No.
00:52:58Not yet.
00:53:00Um, I'm Victoria Wells.
00:53:03These Van Bolands, they have a lot of power in this area,
00:53:06but nobody seems very close to them.
00:53:08Well, I wouldn't know. I'm only close to one of them.
00:53:11I can't get anything out of anybody.
00:53:13That's why I'm out of uniform and, uh, on my own time and, uh...
00:53:20Mrs. Wells, you turned in the accident report when Roger Newsome fell?
00:53:25Yes.
00:53:26What did you see?
00:53:28Well, nothing. Only the man.
00:53:31No bees?
00:53:33Bees?
00:53:36No.
00:53:37No.
00:53:39No bees.
00:53:42The bees here.
00:53:45They fly at night. Have you noticed?
00:53:47Yes.
00:53:49I've been asking around and only one kind does that. African bees.
00:53:53They look just like honey bees, but there's a difference.
00:53:56They seem to have a single mind and they kill.

00:58:37They continued the quest of their forefathers, looking for the great good place, and found
00:59:01it here on the edge of the Pacific. They put down roots, the roots of those vines, which
00:59:08sustain a whole community. Together they brought forth the sweetness of grapes and flowers,
00:59:18and made these hills an image of paradise. Look about you and you will see her work, hills
00:59:26planted, waiting for the pulse of springtime to burst into flower. You will see her son
00:59:33and grandsons, each determined to carry on the family tradition she forged in those hard
00:59:40early years, when first she came to this land. But now her sojourn in this world is done beyond
00:59:53her imagining a land of milk and honey.
01:00:13No! No, for God's sake!
01:00:23No! No! No! No! Wow!

01:10:08These things could have destroyed the whole town or worse.
01:10:15Sergeant, bees are everywhere.
01:10:19The flowers at the funeral attracted a number of bees.
01:10:23Then, unfortunately, that boy was foolish enough to excite them.
01:10:26You probably wouldn't have been stung at all if you hadn't run from them.
01:10:30Yeah.
01:10:32When you stand still in which alone.
01:10:34It's over now and I'm sure it won't happen again.
01:10:36How can you be sure?
01:10:38It's a feeling I have.
01:10:40If I went before a judge and told him what I think and asked for a warrant to search this place, he'd turn you down.
01:10:49And think I was crazy.
01:10:55I hope your feeling is right, Miss Wells.
01:11:00I need a drink.
01:11:07Allow me.
01:11:09Look, we'll be leaving right away.
01:11:10Oh, I don't think so, Edward.
01:11:13Your family needs us now.
01:11:15But our life.
01:11:16I mean, our child.
01:11:18This is a beautiful place to raise a child.
01:11:22I'm going back to San Francisco, Victoria.
01:11:24Edward, don't be impulsive.
01:11:26If, again.
01:11:30Edward.
01:11:33Please, son, join us.
01:11:40Okay.
01:11:40To a new Van Boland, your health and a long life, madame.
