00:00:37You don't know about me without you have read some books made by Mr. Mark Twain.
00:00:41But that ain't no matter.
00:00:43Them books was about some of the best adventure me and Tom Sawyer ever had.
00:00:48My best friend.
00:00:53Now, Mr. Mark Twain wrote the truth mainly.
00:00:56There were some things he stretched, but mainly he told the truth.
00:01:01I reckon the biggest lie he told, and I ain't ever seen anybody but live one time or another,
00:01:06was what they call the live old mittens.
00:01:10Because see, while Mr. Mark Twain sure did write down an awful lot of them adventures,
00:01:15he never wrote them all.
00:01:18Suppose me and Tom were just more full of adventuring than his poor wrist could handle.
00:01:25Now, it's honest, he wrote about the murder in the graveyard Tom and me saw,
00:01:29and Muff Potter getting blamed for it, and me and Tom being took for dead,
00:01:32and then coming back to tell the truth.
00:01:34And it was Injun Joe who'd done it.
00:01:36And he wrote about Tom and Becky Thatcher getting lost in that cave.
00:01:40The very same one, me and Tom, to find all that treasure.
00:01:43And Injun Joe'd find his fate.
00:01:45And it's true, Mr. Mark Twain helped me write about my own adventure,
00:01:49escaping my drunk path and heading the wrong way down the river to free Jim from slavery.
00:01:53Them adventures was plenty.
00:01:55Feuding families, missing heirs, and a pair of conmen, would-be royals,
00:01:59the Duke of Bilgewater and the King of France.
00:02:02Tom even showed up in Arkansas and got shot in the leg.
00:02:06And there was others, too, that made the page.
00:02:08About me and Tom turning genuine detectives, catching a killer.
00:02:12When that time me, Tom, and Jim were all taken hostigated,
00:02:15and a balloon bound for Africa.
00:02:18And maybe, maybe them adventures isn't enough.
00:02:22Maybe them history books are full up.
00:02:25Certainly would have done me.
00:02:27I never went looking for no trouble.
00:02:29But Tom Sawyer.
00:02:31Tom Sawyer was a magnet for them adventures.
00:02:34And I reckon maybe I was a magnet for Tom Sawyer.
00:02:40Best friends stick together.
00:02:42Sticking together got me into plenty of tight spots.
00:02:46Plenty of tight spots Mr. Mark Twain never even knew about.
00:02:56Surprised our sign didn't scare off that huckster, Tom.
00:02:59You sure his camp's gonna be this far inland?
00:03:01That rash was a smart one, that's for sure.
00:03:03He reckon most folks would've come to your conclusions, Hucky.
00:03:07With how bad the Skeeters get hereabouts in the summer,
00:03:09well, most of reckon the same man couldn't stand it.
00:03:12But he can't outsmart a couple detectives with pedigree, like us.
00:03:19Now, I've never been accused of having pedigree my whole life, Tom.
00:03:34How's that vinegar working for you, Huck?
00:03:36Only thing for skiers, Tom.
00:03:38That and possum guts, but don't got none of them handy.
00:03:42You know, this nickel bottle repellent seems to be more than attractive.
00:03:45Could you spare a few splashes to help me keep those parasites at bay?
00:03:48They's bloodsuckers, Tom, but that's how they're made.
00:03:52You don't gotta call them that mean a name.
00:03:54Well, Hucky, that's what they are.
00:03:56You're cold, Tom Sawyer.
00:03:58Pat Finn used to call me that.
00:04:00Parasite.
00:04:01I reckon I can call worse, but I don't know when.
00:04:04Huck Finn, you blather sky.
00:04:06That's what they are.
00:04:07A parasite is a critter that lives off something else.
00:04:10Like how Skeeters have to suck our blood to survive.
00:04:15I wish you didn't know that, Tom.
00:04:17You didn't know Poppies means a bloodsucking.
00:04:20Not to speak ill to the dead, Huck, but I wouldn't put in no stock anything your Pat Finn ever
00:04:25said.
00:04:26Besides, he meant it in a metaphorical sense.
00:04:28Like you live off folk, cause you skip out a score and have no occupation.
00:04:32But it ain't nothing, Huck.
00:04:35Even so.
00:04:37Hucky, you ain't no parasite, not the bloodsucking kind or the metaphorical kind.
00:04:45Now this Huckster we're hunting up, Mr. James Holt.
00:04:48Now he's a parasite and ain't a place for that kind in this world.
00:04:51Selling the whole blame town to St. Petersburg on buying brand new security systems for their homes and shops.
00:04:57Selling up all kinds of trouble and getting the whole town word over some robberies that have been 20 miles
00:05:01down the river.
00:05:02And getting to turn on their friends and neighbors and not trust anyone.
00:05:05Even the postmaster in the good, righteous guy, Jim.
00:05:08And then, all of a sudden, during Sunday go to meeting time, ransacking the whole blame town and making for
00:05:14the river.
00:05:15That's how I figured it too, Tom.
00:05:16With no steamboats due to tomorrow morning.
00:05:19I guess he has to be out here.
00:05:20Unless he's powerful at Illinois shore.
00:05:23Well, that rascal's still here.
00:05:27A dead foe!
00:05:29Yup.
00:05:30Looks like he rigged up some of his security traps out here too.
00:05:36Had we tripped the pull line, the wire would've dropped that counterweight.
00:05:42And we'd be capped just fast.
00:05:44I read, Hucky.
00:05:45That wire drops at 32.2 foot per second square.
00:05:49Then big words just to say you ain't outrunnin' it.
00:05:52Sure.
00:05:53It's all account of potential and kinetic energy, Hucky.
00:05:56I think it's all account of everything that goes up's gotta come down.
00:05:59Exactly, Huck.
00:06:00That shit isn't a way that's sayin' it.
00:06:02See, that big cage back there had the potential for energy.
00:06:04Because gravity was pullin' on it, tryin' to bring it down.
00:06:07But couldn't.
00:06:08Account of the counterweight.
00:06:09But you trip the counterweight, well, gravity gets a hold and...
00:06:12Exactly, Huck.
00:06:14See, once gravity gets a hold,
00:06:16all that energy that the cage had the potential to have,
00:06:19really grows into it real quick.
00:06:21You've got to remember,
00:06:23that speed and mass affect the amount of kinetic energy an object has.
00:06:27It's a heavy cage way up there, just drop one via a whopper.
00:06:30I don't need all the details, Tom.
00:06:31I reckon I get the big picture.
00:06:33Huck Finn, this detective business is all about the details.
00:06:37Tom!
00:06:40Noisemaker.
00:06:41This rascal's keepin' the thrills fresh, ain't he?
00:06:44Yup.
00:06:46More potential energy that'd make trouble for us if it finds its legs, Huck.
00:06:50If this sapling was all bent back,
00:06:52got free of this wire,
00:06:54and went back to normal like it wants to,
00:06:56It'd make quite a ruckus, huh, Tom?
00:06:58Sound travels at about 760 miles per hour, Hucky.
00:07:02Best to avoid havin' to outrun that number.
00:07:14Reckon that Holden still has Aunt Pauly's Bible
00:07:16he stole from out of her lock cabinet?
00:07:18I reckon he still got all this pilferin', Huck.
00:07:20Won't fence it till he's a few days from St. Petersburg, the way I figure it.
00:07:23I reckon I'd never seen no one, so I'd have sorts over a book, though, Tom.
00:07:27She didn't even read that one.
00:07:29Otherwise, she would've had it with her when the crook struck.
00:07:32That's what they call sentimentality, Huck Finn.
00:07:34Oh, I know that one, Tom.
00:07:36I had an awful lot of sentimentality over Joe Harper's dead tooth.
00:07:39I want to have been playing marbles.
00:07:41It may not be as good as that golden knob you had once, Tom,
00:07:43but it was the best thing I ever owned.
00:07:45That was a prize, Huck.
00:07:47And I wouldn't take too kindly to some pilfer making off with it, either.
00:07:51Taking all these folks' possessions that they care about.
00:07:54Like, how I cared about that rotten tooth.
00:07:57It ain't right, Tom.
00:07:58I told you, Hucky.
00:08:00A parasite ain't a place in this world for that kind of man.
00:08:09Look past those trees.
00:08:12Just get up, Tom.
00:08:13Shh.
00:08:19And I bet that trick was this last line of defense.
00:08:22The warning trap to beat all warning traps.
00:08:25How's that when we're Tom's some kind of potential for kinetic energy?
00:08:31It's hard to see from where we are, Huck, but that's unlikely to be sure.
00:08:35I think it's best if we ought to avoid it for sneaking in there.
00:08:40Wait a minute.
00:08:42Hucky, do I got an idea?
00:08:43How's that, Tom?
00:08:45Listen.
00:08:46We can use his traps against him.
00:08:49Take the biggest amount of potential energy and make it kinetic.
00:08:54You go and head to the edge of the woods and hide them.
00:08:57We'll be sure to stay clear of the trails I got plans for.
00:09:01When you see me take off from him, there's no good hold that you'll be right behind.
00:09:05If he is, then you go and get back all his loot so that you take it back to him
00:09:09that it belongs to.
00:09:10You sure about this, Tom?
00:09:12Trust me, Hucky.
00:09:33I see you coming, you crook!
00:09:51Tom!
00:09:52Tom!
00:10:05You think you're so clever.
00:10:07Where's Tom?
00:10:08They don't care for you.
00:10:10You dirty street rat!
00:10:11I ain't a street rat!
00:10:12You're pretending.
00:10:14I know you're Pat.
00:10:16Uncle Barry Finn.
00:10:18You're one of us.
00:10:20Not one of them.
00:10:22You see how quick they are to turn on one another?
00:10:25To distrust and suspect their neighbors.
00:10:28They've known their whole life of covetous and pilfering.
00:10:32You think they can think of you any kind of way besides a filthy, mean, spirited son of Pat Finn?
00:10:40The most useless man this town's ever known.
00:10:45You owe him nothing.
00:10:49They get me out of here.
00:10:51And we take off down the river.
00:10:54Among our kind.
00:10:56Living our way.
00:10:57Because, boy, we ain't nothing but good old social parasites.
00:11:05That's how we made it.
00:11:07That's who we are.
00:11:11Ain't no place in this world for our kind.
00:11:30I'm no bloodsucker, nor no metaphor.
00:11:32At least, wise, I'm no parasite.
00:11:34I'm Huckleberry Finn, and I'm Tom Sawyer's best friend.
00:11:38You bet you are, Huck.
00:11:40Tom!
00:11:44Sorry.
00:11:45I saw that my plan worked.
00:11:47That this rascal forgot all about his traps and walked right into it.
00:11:51He just kept on loading that pistol of his and trying to get free.
00:11:54And I just kept running it.
00:11:55I don't blame you nothing, Tom Sawyer.
00:11:58Did you get the swag?
00:12:00I'll probably buy one of them.
00:12:02Let's make tracks back to town and get the share.
00:12:04I'm sure he'll be mighty interested in our day's doings.
00:12:13Let me go!
00:12:15I promise I'll turn myself in.
00:12:17I'll be a better man.
00:12:19The rest of my days.
00:12:21I swear!
00:12:24Say we should help him, Tom.
00:12:25Thanks for those skaters.
00:12:27Now, Huck, let it never be said, Tom Sawyer don't take no pity on his fellow men.
00:12:44But, Tom, I thought you called that an attractive.
00:13:13You should have talked to me first, Tom.
00:13:15You should have talked to me first, Tom.
00:13:18Hucky, how many years do you know me?
00:13:20Too many, Tom.
00:13:21And do I ever seek your consultation on matters of business?
00:13:25You never tell me nothing when there's something on the line.
00:13:28Especially when it's my something.
00:13:30I don't know if I got there is the only thing I got left from Cairo.
00:13:33It's my pride and joy.
00:13:34Huck, it's the only way I can get back that time piece.
00:13:37I told you.
00:13:38But it's a gimme. There's no threat.
00:13:41Ain't you learnt by now I don't take a bet that it ain't a gimme?
00:13:44You're more right than wrong, sure enough, Tom.
00:13:48But you ain't always right.
00:13:52And every blame soul in St. Petersburg knows that 30 pounds of feathers is heavier than a 10-pound stone.
00:13:59Who said it weren't, Hucky?
00:14:00That ain't one I'm aiming to disprove.
00:14:03You bet your little brother.
00:14:05Half brother.
00:14:06Alright, you bet, Sid, my mommy cat, that this bag of feathers will land the same time as his 10
00:14:11-pound stone
00:14:12when we drop them both off garbage rice.
00:14:14That's what we spit on.
00:14:16Tom, 30 pounds is gonna fall a heck of a lot faster than a 10-pound stone.
00:14:22What? I reckon three times as fast.
00:14:25I think so, Huck.
00:14:26Seems right to me.
00:14:27And how's that, Huck?
00:14:29Well, you know, gravy and Ian Hurtschow and all that book learning stuff.
00:14:35Well, the heavier something is, the quicker it falls stands to reason.
00:14:39Exactly, Huck.
00:14:40Stands to reason.
00:14:41That's the trick.
00:14:44Tom, you done outfoxed so many stitches around so many different ways.
00:14:48Well, this time you outfoxed yourself.
00:14:50Nah, Hucky.
00:14:51It stands to reason, but it ain't the way it actually works.
00:14:55See, when they fall, objects, regardless of their mass or how much they weigh, fall at the same rate.
00:15:00Meaning, Hucky, not the same speed, but the same acceleration.
00:15:04That's cause the amount of force gravity puts on a given object is dependent on its mass.
00:15:09So, a heavy object with a lot of mass, like that big bag of feathers, is pulled harder by gravity
00:15:14than that 10-pound stone.
00:15:19If you say so, Tom.
00:15:21I says it.
00:15:22Now, I told that little rapscallion to keep mommin' about this whole affair.
00:15:26Did ya?
00:15:27I reckon you won a crowd, Tom.
00:15:29If we're quick, we can get these proceedings along for Becky ever knows.
00:15:32I gave away that time piece she gave me last time we courted.
00:15:35I think it was the last time before the last time.
00:15:38Maybe you're right, Hucky.
00:15:40But if you can't keep track of your own romantic Eskimos, I suppose there's no chance, no way.
00:15:49Thomas Sire!
00:15:54You reckon she knows, Tom?
00:16:00Tom.
00:16:01Tom.
00:16:03Are you the reason for this foolishness?
00:16:05Huck helped.
00:16:06As usual.
00:16:07I told you this was another Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, Matt.
00:16:10Tom Sawyer?
00:16:11You are the most narcissistic, humiliating, self-obsessed quarter that I have ever seen in my life.
00:16:17You know, Beau Laxley came to court in just last week.
00:16:20Beau Laxley.
00:16:21Now that's a boy who can keep his nose clean.
00:16:23He came calling right after you.
00:16:25But I was already spoken for and now I'm stuck with a lifetime of these shenanigans.
00:16:29Oh, sorry you ain't courting Beau, Becky.
00:16:31Nobody likes Beau Laxley.
00:16:32Yuck.
00:16:33I was just trying to lure you on the embarrassment I feel in my heart when you're up to these
00:16:37troubles.
00:16:37Oh, and Tom's real sorry about giving away that timepiece you gave him to court in the past.
00:16:42My timepiece?
00:16:44You gave away my timepiece?
00:16:46What's to give me to Tom Sawyer?
00:16:47About as much as bathwater does to Huckleberry Finn.
00:16:50Becky, what do you think I'm doing here?
00:16:53I'm here to win it back.
00:16:54I'm doing this for you.
00:16:56For me?
00:16:58If this was for me, you wouldn't have kept it from me in the first place.
00:17:02This is about the drama, the theatrics, the spectacle.
00:17:05It always is with you.
00:17:07This is about your pride, Tom.
00:17:11That's what you serve.
00:17:15Tom.
00:17:18What?
00:17:22Go win your silly bet.
00:17:28One timepiece.
00:17:30Coming up.
00:17:49Alright, Sid.
00:17:51You got the soundpiece?
00:17:52Right here?
00:17:54Tom, you got Huck's dead cat?
00:17:56Right here.
00:18:06Told you to keep mum, Sid.
00:18:08Pretty big crowd.
00:18:10Even the only one of us talked it up.
00:18:11Word travels.
00:18:13Especially from two ports.
00:18:15I've been out on that prize a while now, Tom.
00:18:17You know it, Sid.
00:18:18Why?
00:18:19I don't need no timepiece.
00:18:20I didn't even need it when you gave it to me.
00:18:22It's just a bond.
00:18:24If I'm honest, thought it might come in handy, but to have to say I'm surprised at just how
00:18:27handy it came.
00:18:29Tell you what.
00:18:31I'll make you an offer.
00:18:32I'll trade you.
00:18:34Straight up.
00:18:41She ain't mind a trade, Sid.
00:18:42I bet she's yours to gamble.
00:18:44Ain't much a gamble when you know you're gonna win.
00:18:47All right, boys.
00:18:49Weighing time.
00:19:02But the minutes show, the bag of feathers is heavier than the stone.
00:19:07But the dropping commence.
00:19:14Last chance out, Tom.
00:19:15Why do I need to trade when I'm about to get both?
00:19:18And humble you to boot?
00:19:21Because that's what you're really after.
00:19:22Ain't ya?
00:19:24Humbling?
00:19:27When it's them that deserves it.
00:19:29All right, you two.
00:19:30On my mark.
00:19:42Three Mississippi.
00:19:44Two Mississippi.
00:19:47One Mississippi.
00:19:48Wait a minute, hon.
00:19:49I called time out.
00:19:50Time out.
00:19:53What are you doing, Tom?
00:19:55Looks like I'm fixing to drop a bag of feathers.
00:19:57No, you're supposed to dump them, not drop them.
00:19:59Now, Joe, we didn't agree to no restrictions on how I dropped my feathers.
00:20:04Brady's got you there, Sid.
00:20:06Except that ain't the truth.
00:20:09This here, a signed contract with one Huckleberry Finn, owner of the Collateral, promises Tom Sawyer would be dumping this
00:20:16bag of feathers separate from the back from which they brought.
00:20:19Witnessed by Bill Henley yesterday morning.
00:20:23Just ask me.
00:20:44What's the problem, Becky?
00:20:5330 pounds of feathers is 30 pounds of feathers.
00:20:56Won't it be the same bag or no?
00:20:59No.
00:20:59So Tom thought he'd out smart, Sid.
00:21:02That Sid wouldn't know if things fall at the same rate.
00:21:05Wish they do.
00:21:06Right.
00:21:07But only if there aren't other factors involved.
00:21:10Other factors?
00:21:11Like air.
00:21:12Air?
00:21:12It's what you breathe, Huckleberry.
00:21:14I know that.
00:21:15How's it affected?
00:21:17Huckleberry, them falling at the same rate is only true if gravity is the only factor on an object falling.
00:21:22But they've got more acting on them than gravity.
00:21:24Air resists them falling too.
00:21:26So the bag of feathers and the 10 pound stone, for all intents and purposes, they're about the same density
00:21:32so they'll fall at the same time.
00:21:33But, Huck, if you separate those feathers...
00:21:36That feather's barely denser than a sheet of paper.
00:21:39Even with them falling at the same time, some of them are gonna separate and they'll be so beat by
00:21:43the resistance of the air that they'll just float and mosey on down and land a good few seconds after
00:21:49the stone.
00:21:55Tom.
00:21:58Tom, take the trade.
00:22:00Get your peas.
00:22:08Joe.
00:22:09Let's start again.
00:22:11Starting again.
00:22:13On the mark.
00:22:15Joe.
00:22:17Joe.
00:22:18Let's start again.
00:22:18On the mark.
00:22:18Joe.
00:22:19Three Mississippi.
00:22:21Two Mississippi.
00:22:25Two Mississippi.
00:22:25One Mississippi.
00:22:29Yah!
00:22:37Yes!
00:22:39Yes!
00:22:49I'm sorry Tom, that stone landed mighty sooner in them mess of feathers.
00:22:56Sid Sawyer is the winner!
00:23:09I told you you were after Humble and Tom.
00:23:22I don't see what you like about that Tom Sawyer.
00:23:25That's goodbye as little brother Sid.
00:23:27Becky, you can do better.
00:23:33Come on Becky, show's over.
00:23:35And what a show.
00:23:38Tell him, Huck.
00:23:40Tell him I don't mind about the piece.
00:23:42I'm sorry about your cat.
00:23:55I reckon we've been sharing a room too long.
00:23:58I can't believe that little Brad off-foxed me.
00:24:03And now Becky's Tom piece is going for good.
00:24:05And what about your cat?
00:24:08So what if it's a mummy?
00:24:11One dead cat's as good as the other I suppose.
00:24:13And those are right easy enough to come by.
00:24:17You sure are taking this well, Huck.
00:24:21That was your pride and joy.
00:24:24Well, pride?
00:24:27Ain't never been too much of use to me, Tom.
00:24:31I come from, well, you know where I come from.
00:24:36Pride just gets in the way of things.
00:24:39Blinds ya.
00:24:39Yeah.
00:24:41Sometimes gets you humble.
00:24:45It ain't that simple, Huck.
00:24:48I reckon it probably ain't.
00:24:51Cause without it, I'm an empty sack.
00:24:56I bet you weren't right.
00:24:57You ain't my master.
00:25:02It's just a part of me.
00:25:09Why'd you sign away my scheme, Huck?
00:25:11With Sid?
00:25:12I didn't know it about your scheme, Tom.
00:25:14You didn't tell me about your scheme.
00:25:15He said we need to make this legitimate and it's my collateral.
00:25:19I know.
00:25:19I know.
00:25:21It's not your fault, Huck.
00:25:25He just knows me too well.
00:25:29That's it.
00:25:31He knew I wouldn't talk to you about my scheme, cause...
00:25:35Cause I need to show it off.
00:25:38And I underestimated him, that's for sure.
00:25:41I won't make that same mistake again.
00:25:44Just like I won't be betting away anything else that don't belong to me on a gimme neither.
00:25:56I'm sorry, Huck.
00:26:06What is Becky right, Huck?
00:26:09You only got a master if you serve it, Tom.
00:26:27You think Becky will ever speak to me again or we done courting for good?
00:26:31I don't think you have to worry about Becky Thatcher now, Tom Sawyer.
00:26:34Now, when are you going to tell me about this new scheme we're cooking up?
00:26:38To get back what's ours from Sid?
00:26:41Now I am glad you say that, Huckleberry Finn.
00:26:45Cause I do.
00:26:46You got a new plan to brew.
00:26:47Sure.
00:26:47Sure.
00:26:48And it is a good one.
00:26:49But of course, this time we can't take nothing for granted.
00:26:52We gotta be smart, not cocky.
00:26:54I do.
00:26:54I do.
00:26:55Yeah, I do.
00:26:57I do.
00:26:58Yeah, I do.
00:27:12Thank you, Mr.
00:27:40That was a skimmer, Tom.
00:27:41It's all just an understanding of the physics, Joe.
00:27:43You master the physics, you master the world.
00:27:46Nah, that weren't nothing, Joe.
00:27:48Watch this.
00:27:57I think Hucky's got you beat, Tom.
00:27:59You blind Joe Harper.
00:28:01You knowed mine went further, Tom.
00:28:02Why are you making a fuss?
00:28:03Huck, you mullet head.
00:28:05The measure ain't the distance, it's the form.
00:28:07Besides, I gotta get two or three more skips out of my sauce.
00:28:10On account of the physics, like I said,
00:28:11you're supposed to control the physics, Huck.
00:28:13That's the game.
00:28:14You're making up rules as you want them, not as they be, Tom.
00:28:17That ain't so Hucky.
00:28:18Everybody knows that.
00:28:19You tell them, Joe.
00:28:20Uh, how's that, Tom?
00:28:22Tell Huck it's the form you grade.
00:28:24Well, honest, Tom, I don't know hardly nothing about this business of physics
00:28:30and stone skipping.
00:28:31Least of which I had to grade it.
00:28:34But it seems to me, though, Tom, that Huck's got the more logical point.
00:28:38Ha, you're faced, Tom.
00:28:40Yeah, hey, Joe, save the logic for those of us that's got it in spades, huh?
00:28:44Any chucklehead can throw their arm at a socket and get good distance,
00:28:47but the form of the skips, the dance of the stone or the water,
00:28:51that's the real game.
00:28:54Well, I reckon you do make a good point.
00:28:56Joe, you fare well.
00:28:58Now, y'all put me in a mighty awful spot.
00:29:00I told y'all I don't know nothing about this business.
00:29:03Well, what do you look for when you skip, Joe?
00:29:06The distance, like a real Missourian, or something highfalutin' like form.
00:29:11Well, I can't say I go for nothing, Huck.
00:29:14You mean you ain't never thought about it?
00:29:16I mean, I ain't done it, Tom.
00:29:20I ain't never skipped no stone.
00:29:24Well, Joe, stone-skippin''s right up there with mumbly-peggin'
00:29:28and swimmin' for best summer's pastime in all St. Petersburg.
00:29:32Well, I can't believe you missed out.
00:29:34Well, I can't stand it.
00:29:39Whatcha' at there, Tom?
00:29:41About time you got an education in stone-skippin', Joe.
00:29:43Step one is find the right stone.
00:29:46Won't just any stone do?
00:29:48No way, Joe.
00:29:49Get the wrong stone, you might as well be chuckin' Becky Thatcher in the water.
00:29:53Get it about the same distance.
00:29:55Well, actually, Huck, so long as you go by what the physics want,
00:29:59most rocks will skip some.
00:30:00Even a humongous rock if you throw it hard enough.
00:30:03But, for the absolute most impressive results the human arm can get,
00:30:06certain kind's the best.
00:30:08See?
00:30:10Here.
00:30:11A nice stone with a flat edge and a round base.
00:30:14Now, in order to make her skip, there are two major factors to consider
00:30:18when dealing with an optimized stone like this one.
00:30:21Number one's the angle and rotation of how I throw it.
00:30:24Number two, the angle at which it hits the water.
00:30:27These others factors too, like its size and mass and the condition of the water's surface.
00:30:31But, with a stone like this one, you can kind of take those things for granted on a nice day
00:30:34like today.
00:30:35Now, let's talk it through as we go.
00:30:37Number one, the angle at which the stone is thrown.
00:30:41See, how you throw it directly impacts two things that are important in getting a stone to skip.
00:30:45It creates the momentum for the mass and motion of the stone.
00:30:48And, it also affects the second major factor, the angle at which the stone hits the water.
00:30:53Now, you see how I got my arm cocked and loaded?
00:30:56Yeah, looks like you're going to pull something, Tom.
00:30:59Yeah, that shows I can fling a sidearm.
00:31:01And, the other important part is how I hold the stone.
00:31:04Now, you see how I got it wedged between my thumb and index finger?
00:31:07How I got my index finger wrapped around it?
00:31:09That shows, when I let it go and let it roll off the tips of my fingers,
00:31:13it puts the stone in a natural spin.
00:31:17Now, let's throw it and I'll show you how it skips in actuality, thanks to mastering the physics.
00:31:26Watch it with them stones, boys.
00:31:29See, thanks to the principle of the conservation of momentum,
00:31:32the stone doesn't lose momentum from the throw when it collides with the water.
00:31:35Now, all the momentum's got to go somewhere, so if you look real close, Joe,
00:31:39you could have seen that when the stone hit the water on the first skip,
00:31:42it actually entered the water for a hair.
00:31:44But, thanks to all that momentum I gave it with my throw, it created a gully,
00:31:49or a cavity in the water that the stone then slings itself out of.
00:31:52Then, its pitch angle out of the cavity creates a lifting force,
00:31:54which causes the stone to skip along and repeat the process all over.
00:31:58Now, as the stone continues this over and over,
00:32:00it slowly loses its momentum and it eventually sinks.
00:32:03But, if you take all them factors I told you about into consideration,
00:32:07you get a mighty whole lot of skips before it sinks for good.
00:32:10Makes sense.
00:32:11Give it a try, huh, Joe?
00:32:13And make sure you try for form.
00:32:15Nah, Joe. Ain't no way to master physics.
00:32:18You can't outsmart a good, honest throw for distance.
00:32:33All right now, you can relax some.
00:32:35You ain't out here scaring crows, are you?
00:32:49What form?
00:32:51What distance?
00:32:52What did I do?
00:32:55What did I say about them stones?
00:32:58What did I tell you?
00:33:00Master of the physics, master of the world.
00:33:03Master?
00:33:04I didn't mean to do that, Tom.
00:33:06I didn't mean to believe your old poor Chop Ma.
00:33:08Look, only physics we can control now is how fast we make tracks.
00:33:12So how big are we?
00:33:15What?
00:33:22What?
00:33:32My mother is the only one that you think I should have.
00:33:33He's only a bit explains.
00:33:34You're a bit of a hitter.
00:33:35My mother is the only one for a hitter.
00:33:35Do you want me to do it?
00:33:35I don't have any idea.
00:33:36You can play with me, though.
00:33:36He's a bit more exciting.
00:33:38You have to play with me and a hitter.
00:33:53I'll see you next time.
00:34:15We're getting closer together, and this is the third load already.
00:34:18Your pa can't do nothing about this, Becky.
00:34:20Judge Thatcher's made it pretty clear he's got more important pots on Mr. Oberma.
00:34:24But these traps are against the law.
00:34:26It says the populace are coming and bringing change with them.
00:34:30It says one of these days, student judges will be elected like the president and not
00:34:33appointed by the governor like they are now.
00:34:35It says not everybody can see it coming, but he can.
00:34:39Does your pa run in for president, Becky?
00:34:40No, he's just afraid of offending the people who could have the power to take away his
00:34:44job.
00:34:45He doesn't want to underestimate the voice of the populace, because it could be at his
00:34:48peril.
00:34:49See, people talk, and that talk can get teased.
00:34:52And he and the district attorney just want to focus on that which will make good talk
00:34:55and not bad.
00:34:57And stopping illegal trappers ain't big enough to help good talk.
00:35:00That sounds like fiction to me.
00:35:02Ain't enough populace got these parts to bring any kind of change like that.
00:35:05My pa says, they's only got a voice up in them Yankee states.
00:35:08Well, that's not what Judge Thatcher believes, Glenn.
00:35:10Sure sounds like he's running for president.
00:35:13I suppose politics is politics, but for now, we're on our own.
00:35:22Well, I suppose not entirely on our own.
00:35:41We'll have to talk about that.
00:35:43We'll have to talk about that.
00:35:44And I'll just hear your right.
00:35:52And they'll talk about it.
00:35:54The sheriff and the bodies of the government who work together, so we the populace-
00:35:57Populous, Irma.
00:35:58Can all live without fear like we had in the Old Testament days.
00:36:01We know what society is.
00:36:04But wouldn't that be something?
00:36:05If all the dogs spelt all the traps like Dash and spread word along to the other critters?
00:36:09Like a real democratic society.
00:36:10To live in your silly head, why waste breath on such ridiculous fancy-
00:36:13There'd be a lot less for us to do. What's ridiculous?
00:36:16Folks couldn't always talk.
00:36:17We had savage times.
00:36:19And we just had careers one day too.
00:36:20Irma, not only is that impossible, but it's not right heretical.
00:36:25Okay, will you two stop that, Balderdash?
00:36:27It seems like neither of you know anything to me.
00:36:30I mean, animals may not speak English, or French, or dead Latin, but they still speak.
00:36:36Any silly body should know that.
00:36:38Now how so, Becky Thatcher? Won't you learn his curled ignoramuses?
00:36:43Okay.
00:36:45What do you two think Dash is doing right now?
00:36:48He found a trap, of course.
00:36:50Right.
00:36:50And he's telling us that he found a trap, ain't he?
00:36:54Why, that's a croak, Becky Thatcher.
00:36:56Right, that don't count.
00:36:57Well, he's still communicating, ain't he?
00:37:00And that ain't even the only way.
00:37:02Look at his nose.
00:37:03From the other animals that have left their scent there, Dash can tell all kinds of things.
00:37:07He can tell between the different people and critters that have been there,
00:37:10and he can even tell specific things about them, like whether they was male or female, or what time of
00:37:15day they passed.
00:37:16He can even tell emotions in those sense, like whether any of them was anxious or afraid.
00:37:20Really?
00:37:20I'll bet.
00:37:29Is that it?
00:37:30If you saw it and smell?
00:37:31Hardly.
00:37:32Listen.
00:37:37What?
00:37:38Don't you hear them?
00:37:39Someone talking?
00:37:40Yep.
00:37:41The birds.
00:37:44Oftentimes, the noise that the animals make means just as much to them as talking to us.
00:37:48Even more when it's Irma.
00:37:50Birds call and sing just to keep in touch with one another, or to warn of danger, or to let
00:37:54each other know when they've found food.
00:37:56They even use it for courting.
00:37:57Other animals use it in like ways, like monkeys, frogs, bats, even insects like crickets and grasshoppers.
00:38:03And, of course, dogs.
00:38:26There.
00:38:26See?
00:38:29What?
00:38:31W dop.
00:38:33Fuck.
00:38:34I don't know.
00:39:12You mean some animals can talk by vibrating their bodies?
00:39:15Yep.
00:39:16Spiders do with their spider webs.
00:39:17And through touch?
00:39:18Yep.
00:39:19Especially when they're learning to be social.
00:39:21Like a dog or cat playing or ants leading one another to food.
00:39:24And even through electricity?
00:39:26I didn't even know electricity was real.
00:39:28Yep.
00:39:29Eels communicate with one another and learn more about the world around them through the
00:39:32electrical charge they got in their bodies.
00:39:34I don't know.
00:39:35Maybe they talk in a manner of saying.
00:39:38But you really think an animal like that can speak to us in a complex enough way for it
00:39:42to kind of us talking?
00:39:43Why, Gwen?
00:39:44What are the professionals having himself a mighty conversation?
00:39:48Underestimate the metro peril.
00:39:50Dash!
00:39:54Dash!
00:39:57Here, Dash!
00:40:02I said Dash!
00:40:17Sorry.
00:40:18Thought I saw it.
00:40:19Becky!
00:40:22I'm fine.
00:40:23I'm okay.
00:40:23I just, I can't move.
00:40:25My leg is pinned.
00:40:26Hold on, Becky.
00:40:27We're going to find you help.
00:40:28Hold on.
00:40:31Dash!
00:40:32Dash!
00:40:33No, what's the use?
00:40:34What?
00:40:35That dumb munchess took off after a squirrel.
00:40:39No.
00:40:40Becky, I told you.
00:40:41Just, we're going to find you something to get you out of.
00:40:44Yeah.
00:40:45Come on, Becky.
00:40:49He's chasing that squirrel good, ain't he?
00:40:51No, I don't think he is.
00:40:53I think he found something.
00:40:54What?
00:40:55Well, can you just see what he has to say?
00:40:58Becky, I told you.
00:40:59Now, we're the ones you should be listening to.
00:41:01I have...
00:41:05I think it's kind of just...
00:41:06Um, Gwen?
00:41:25Wrap this around you, Becky.
00:41:26We'll pull you up.
00:41:42Oh, hi.
00:41:44Dash, hi.
00:41:46Becky, are you all right?
00:41:48Yeah, I'm fine.
00:41:50I think it's twisted, but I'll be all right.
00:41:53Maybe done trap-busting for the day.
00:41:54Who found this rope?
00:41:59Who found this rope?
00:42:01Oh!
00:42:26So, I can't catch you by now.
00:42:32Oh!
00:42:40Yeah!
00:42:46This is my crystal ball.
00:43:17And I promise, as long as you kept up your steps,
00:43:19I guarantee your education, and I have.
00:43:28United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, Tom.
00:43:33Full academic scholarship for the next four years.
00:43:38I've also arranged for your graduate studies,
00:43:40following your time at West Point at the University of Missouri,
00:43:43where, as long as you keep up your marks, you'll study law.
00:43:56Now, Tom, surely of all people, you aren't speechless.
00:44:03I'm sorry, sir. I'm just...
00:44:07Thank you. I won't take this lightly, sir.
00:44:10I have no doubt.
00:44:12Now, another matter is your 18th birthday and your trust.
00:44:18Come on in, Huckleberry Finn. This affects you, too.
00:44:30Now, I know you boys have both grown accustomed to payments from the trust.
00:44:34I started from that treasure you both found all those years ago.
00:44:38Now that you both turn 18, the terms of your trust offer you some options.
00:44:42And I reckon it's only right for you to learn them.
00:44:45You'll each have to make a decision for yourself.
00:44:48Now, you can keep everything of the trust as is, and you'll still receive a modest allowance,
00:44:52which won't be enough to live off of, but will certainly afford you plenty of additional comfort and security.
00:44:59Or you can, however, otherwise decide to go ahead and take the money out of the trust in one lump
00:45:05sum,
00:45:06which you could then use to buy a home, start a business, or whatever you'd like.
00:45:11But then that'd be it. The trust would be gone.
00:45:14Now, Tom, with your expenses taken care of at West Point, I'd highly recommend keeping your trust in place,
00:45:21perhaps even deferring your weekly payments while you're in school to increase your investments.
00:45:26I was about to tell you, Judge, and that decision is set sure.
00:45:31Alright. So, Huckleberry, have you thought about your future?
00:45:40Now, Huck, I know you, both of you, have seen an awful lot of adventure and an awful lot of
00:45:46life.
00:45:47Body has to admit I'm both admirers and jealous.
00:45:50I bet your Thomas boys is dusking up.
00:45:53He'll be men soon.
00:45:55Now, Huck, Tom has an impressive itinerary ahead of him the next few years.
00:45:59We've just been going over his plan.
00:46:01I ain't never seen no Tom story without a plan, sir.
00:46:04Of course. It's in his nature.
00:46:07What about yours, Huck?
00:46:10What's your nature?
00:46:14How's that?
00:46:15What you want out of life, Hucky?
00:46:20I'll take the lump sum, Judge.
00:46:25Now, Huck, are you sure, Son?
00:46:31I don't want to owe nothing to nobody, sir.
00:46:34The widow Douglas, she took me in and kept me and civilized me up and taught me religion.
00:46:39I'm mighty grateful and I reckon I owe her for all that room and board and kindness.
00:46:45I reckon I can spare what's left of the treasure to set her up nice.
00:46:51Well, Huckleberry fan.
00:46:54That's a mighty swell thing to do.
00:46:57Well, it's a bully of a thing.
00:47:00But what about you?
00:47:02Have you seen to adequate occupation?
00:47:06I can hardly spend what you give me as it is, Judge, and I've got enough saved up to make
00:47:11my own way for a while.
00:47:12A long while, so...
00:47:15I reckon I already got the right occupation for me.
00:47:17Huck, you ain't got no occupation.
00:47:19Tom, the fish is going to catch theyselves.
00:47:22The watermelon's going to eat theyselves.
00:47:24The air out there is going to breathe itself.
00:47:28I'll compare it.
00:47:29I'm saying occupations.
00:47:30That's just taking up space.
00:47:32Sounds like a right noble occupation to me, Judge.
00:47:36Not that I judge a body with amphibian, mind you.
00:47:39Ambition.
00:47:39Like Tom here.
00:47:40Why is Tom going to be president one day or some far-flung chic with wives aplenty like he always
00:47:45says?
00:47:46And that's good for Tom and all the talkers like him.
00:47:49And we need them to keep the economy going and the world populated.
00:47:53What, with all them wives?
00:47:55But I figure there's competition enough.
00:47:57And those that's happy with our circumstances, well, we oughtn't go in changing them just because we're supposed to.
00:48:04They don't make sense to me, Judge.
00:48:06You remember my pap, sir?
00:48:09I do.
00:48:11Sir, my pap, he was a bad man, sir.
00:48:14A social parasite.
00:48:17If he could have amounted to even half of what I am.
00:48:19Fishing and eating plied and minding my own keep, well, it'd be a miracle.
00:48:26Maybe this life ain't good enough for a Sawyer, but it's more than good enough for a fit.
00:48:39How's the body argue with that?
00:48:52Look, it's Tom Sawyer!
00:48:53The train leaves out Monday, Tom?
00:48:55That's right.
00:48:55But, we still got the weekend plans.
00:48:58I think Joe and them should already be down at Jackson's Isle, and once we get into more respectable duds,
00:49:02we ought to do the same.
00:49:05Four years in New York, huh?
00:49:06Good day, Mr. Sawyer.
00:49:08Well, I'll be back and forth though, Hug. And then, I'll be back in Missouri for law school.
00:49:13But not for good.
00:49:15Now, how you know that?
00:49:16Because you're Tom.
00:49:21I guess this is the end of an era, Huck.
00:49:25Now you're really just gonna cash out next week and then sit around and do nothing for the rest of
00:49:29your days?
00:49:31I reckon so, Tom.
00:49:33Well, I don't understand it.
00:49:35You never have, Tom.
00:49:36But I can't believe you give up on all that adventuring.
00:49:38You're the adventurer. I've just tagged along time to time. You catch some adventures like fleas.
00:49:43And you don't.
00:49:45Hug, what about a few summers back when you went off with Jim downriver and had all kinds of adventures?
00:49:50Like those feudin' families and the Duke and the King and their royal non-set show?
00:49:55All coming at you like you's a magnet, Hug.
00:49:57You can't repel that glory forever.
00:49:59Now, that was different, Tom. Them had to be had.
00:50:02Jim's life was on the line.
00:50:03And when we trapped that rascal holding who ransacked the town or when we saved Uncle Silas from the hangman,
00:50:09all them adventures they had to be had, Tom.
00:50:11Because the stakes were real.
00:50:13No sense in adventuring for nothing.
00:50:16Hi, Tom.
00:50:17You're attracting all commerce today, ain't you?
00:50:20Well, it's just a count of that article on me in the dispatch.
00:50:23All right.
00:50:24Kind of fun out of the woodwork, though, don't it?
00:50:44That is what you're after.
00:50:46There are three forts on the aisle.
00:50:48One for each team.
00:50:49Protect your flag, capture theirs, win the game.
00:50:54Joe.
00:50:54Captain of the Greens has been recognized.
00:50:57What are we supposed to do, climb the tree?
00:50:59I'd like to see you try.
00:51:01Captain of the Reds has not been recognized.
00:51:03Plus, that's so Tom.
00:51:04Will the Captain of the Greens please address the neutralizing of the fishing?
00:51:07Yeah, scurry on up there.
00:51:09Don't you think I can't?
00:51:10Captains, please!
00:51:11Just said I wanted to see is all.
00:51:13He doesn't think you can do it, Becky.
00:51:15Irma, you're not even a captain.
00:51:17Fine.
00:51:32As the Captain of the Reds has demonstrated,
00:51:34flags can be retrieved with magic magnet wands.
00:51:38Tom will distribute one to each of the captains of the teams.
00:51:47Want me to explain it, Hucky?
00:51:49It ain't really magic.
00:51:50No, it's just a magnet.
00:51:53I learned this one, Tom.
00:51:54See, there's this naturally occurring thing called magnetism,
00:51:57and it's something you can't see but you know it's there.
00:52:00And it comes about because some materials have unique properties
00:52:03that create what a feller calls magnetic fields.
00:52:06Magnets, they're made up by folks to use magnetism to their advantage.
00:52:10And these made magnets have their very own magnetic fields,
00:52:12which folks can make by giving them different what they call poles.
00:52:17North and South.
00:52:19These poles repel poles that are alike and attract ones that ain't.
00:52:22They can also act on a distance with other materials like metal,
00:52:25iron, steel, brass, copper.
00:52:28They're all attracted to magnetic fields.
00:52:30And magnets are weak and strong and in between like,
00:52:34like most things I reckon.
00:52:36And a magnet with a strong enough magnetic field,
00:52:38why'd rip a metal flag right off the tree?
00:52:41Oh wow.
00:52:43I think that earned you one duty today, Hucky.
00:52:46Really, Tom?
00:52:47I thought the captain-
00:52:48Alright!
00:52:49Greens, glues,
00:52:51you have ten minutes to set your forts before we start.
00:53:08Aight, real strategists like us ought to scout their defenses before we move towards a capture.
00:53:13So Ben, Wimp, you're with me.
00:53:15Huck?
00:53:16Yeah, Tom.
00:53:17Uh, stay back and out of sight, aight?
00:53:19You want me to just do nothing?
00:53:21I thought that's what you like to do.
00:53:24There!
00:53:27Spot it!
00:53:27You better tag him before they make it back to their fort!
00:53:29Tom, you want me to-
00:53:43Tom?
00:53:45Tom?
00:53:47Ben?
00:53:49Wimp?
00:53:53Must be the competition.
00:54:05Get you-
00:54:07Loads of water!
00:54:10I say, do my poor old tired royal eyes deceive me my dear dude?
00:54:16Or is this our old mate?
00:54:19Huckleberry Finn?
00:54:30Thy place and counsel, thy hast rudely lost, and the hope and spectation of thy time is
00:54:35ruined, and ere man do prophetically think thy foe, the words of King Henry IV to his
00:54:45prodigal son, Hal. That's supposed to be me, Majesty? Why, Huck, weren't we once your most noblest and selfless
00:54:53keepers? Why, didn't me and the King care for your every ingrateful need and want, despite our royal
00:54:59blood and years of gutter track? And yet, you fled our charge the moment our backs were turned and we
00:55:05were indisposed. Yeah, when you were a tartan feather. Hey! You watch your filthy mouth. I'll never give up, Jim.
00:55:15Old Jim? Why, we've been on his trail for years, with bony papers claiming he's our runaway.
00:55:21Oh, Huck, runaways is swole business. We're off to something big.
00:55:29It won't take me to get to Jim, then. Why'd you take me?
00:55:33It won't take me. We have it. Hold it. In the chair.
00:55:59Time, nice and tight, Duke.
00:56:14Prisoner!
00:56:21Quick thinking, Becky.
00:56:24All right. Sid has captured Gwen, Wimp has captured Irma, and Becky has captured Tom.
00:56:31Now, time out while the prisoners are escorted to the four prisons.
00:56:36And wait for my call to return in play.
00:56:43Maybe prison will keep you from leaving on Monday.
00:56:47Becky, your pa made all the arrangements.
00:56:50I know.
00:56:54Good thing Huck still has the wand.
00:57:03I thought the sheriff sent you down the river.
00:57:16He did, because of you.
00:57:21Fortune found me doing a farm.
00:57:24Chained up to these rum barrels, gags.
00:57:29By the by, I guess the talking.
00:57:32It seems we have a common history in you.
00:57:38Made an escape.
00:57:40Came to the hour I saw you last.
00:57:43I know that I'd run into you sooner rather than later.
00:57:47Your chickens come home to roost, Huck.
00:57:50You're gonna help us.
00:57:53What?
00:57:55Getting rich.
00:57:58I know this is your best friend, Rodolph.
00:58:03He's tickled to your last treasure, though.
00:58:06As much hassle as he caused me,
00:58:08taking that off his hands is the least he could do.
00:58:13Ain't no smarter way to get at it.
00:58:17And through you.
00:58:21Tom's smart.
00:58:22He ain't falling for nothing.
00:58:28He's tough.
00:58:29I know this smart.
00:58:30He's tough best to me.
00:58:35You ain't nothing like a gun or trash, boy.
00:58:38Just like your pal.
00:58:40Could have trashed the tent on getting no hiding in here.
00:58:43He could go on his own.
00:58:46Except for your one and only friend.
00:58:51We'll do whatever we want.
00:58:54Save you.
00:58:55I don't know.
00:58:59So, boys.
00:59:01Roundup saw you.
00:59:03Let's get him a cook right now.
00:59:06I got a treasure, too.
00:59:12Me and Tom, we found it in a cave years ago.
00:59:16The judge has been keeping it for us.
00:59:18Trust.
00:59:21I'm due to get mine out.
00:59:23Lump some next week.
00:59:29He'll just leave Tom alone.
00:59:33The gym, too.
00:59:36Oh.
00:59:39It's yours.
00:59:45We'll be born to have you take your treasure off your up, Finn.
00:59:50Right after you can take Tom.
01:00:01Yeah, we won!
01:00:04See the concrete heroes.
01:00:06And the winner is Sid Sire and the Blues.
01:00:15Sorry, Tom.
01:00:16But it weren't on us.
01:00:18Yeah, Luke just won it all.
01:00:20I mean, he's like the Magnet Wong with him.
01:00:24I don't know.
01:00:26You ain't seen Huck?
01:00:28Ain't no relying on him, Tom.
01:00:30Probably got it in him to go skip stones or go off fishing or raft out downriver.
01:00:38I don't know.
01:00:39Huck, leaving his high and dry.
01:00:43I wager he's upset about your leaving, Tom.
01:00:52I know a bunch of us, though.
01:00:56But he'll be fine.
01:00:58He'll cheer up and he'll find you by morning, I'm sure.
01:01:01It's his nature.
01:01:03But it's best to just leave him be.
01:01:06For now.
01:01:23The stars are out.
01:01:25I say we've waited plenty.
01:01:27Aye.
01:01:28Aye.
01:01:29Now grab Sawyer and bring him here.
01:01:31Show him we got Huck and we mean business.
01:01:34Give him two days to make the arrangements.
01:01:36And we start to set up body parts.
01:01:40All right.
01:01:41We'll take the pistol lead out.
01:01:43Is that really a two-man operation, I wonder?
01:01:47What are you saying, Huck?
01:01:49None of my business tell y'all professionals.
01:01:51Second.
01:01:53Now, go on.
01:01:55Well, Majesty, seems to me if you're just frightened old Tom, he'd come easy to see about me if I
01:02:01was in trouble.
01:02:02You ain't need both royals out on the job, so why would Holden want to send both of you out?
01:02:11Unless...
01:02:12Oh...
01:02:13Enough!
01:02:14If you're just trying to turn us on each other...
01:02:15Hold on now.
01:02:16Huck, you go on to finish.
01:02:18Well, you had to capture me.
01:02:19I mean, I could have been dangerous or could have run or fought back.
01:02:24So you sent two of them, which I reckon is sensible.
01:02:29But now that you got me, why would you want to send two people just to scare someone?
01:02:34It makes a body wonder, I reckon.
01:02:37It makes a body wonder about intentions.
01:02:40Why?
01:02:41While y'all are off scaring Tom, what's stopping Holden from taking me somewhere else?
01:02:45He's scaring Tom on his own and taking both our treasures for himself.
01:02:49Shut it!
01:02:50Just try to turn us on each other.
01:02:54Naughty boy, Huffin.
01:02:56Keep it up and you'll be early to your own funeral.
01:02:58I've done it too.
01:03:00And I'll be late.
01:03:05Since y'all ain't seen St. Pete yet, let's go over the back way to Sawyer's again.
01:03:10Of course, this gives the royals a mighty opportunity as well.
01:03:15Now, Huck, what did we say?
01:03:19What now?
01:03:21Never mind, y'all are just going to think I'm turning all against one another.
01:03:30You two go, I won't get that boy without me.
01:03:34I might keep him for yourselves.
01:03:36Cut me out.
01:03:38But Holden, you still have Huck.
01:03:39You'd have half the treasure.
01:03:42Except there's two of you.
01:03:44Only one of me.
01:03:46You might get the drop on me.
01:03:49And don't forget, they sell those funny papers that say they own Jim.
01:03:53You do?
01:03:55Now, Jim is our play, Holden.
01:03:58Yeah, we've been after him for years.
01:04:01I dealt with some partners.
01:04:03Yes, we are.
01:04:04Get him!
01:04:14You got those papers.
01:04:16We ain't going nowhere tonight.
01:04:19Do you want to trust the other one to go along?
01:04:27I reckon we ought to keep coming tomorrow.
01:04:29I think that there's another one to keep coming tomorrow.
01:05:25Oh, pucks.
01:05:28Why didn't you come home last night?
01:06:00It took him back in his lap and it broke air bone in his body.
01:06:11Now this rig was based on ancient york catapults, but I modernized the release.
01:06:24He rarely built such a contraption.
01:06:27Yep, I told you. Traps and devices are my specialty.
01:06:30How do you crank this thing up?
01:06:53This way?
01:06:54This way?
01:06:56What you do with that thing?
01:06:57Is that another boot?
01:06:58This way?
01:07:03This way?
01:07:06This way?
01:07:11This way?
01:07:13This way?
01:07:14This way?
01:07:14What have you done?
01:07:14Then you push the Slow down.
01:07:15Call urban.
01:07:16Partnership dial now.
01:07:16Question for you.
01:07:21See here?
01:07:21You know what you do back there?
01:07:28Question for you.
01:07:33I do think he needs you back there.
01:07:36Place that runner.
01:07:39Looking back there.
01:07:43Ok now see here Holden.
01:07:44We could all get stronger in, didn't I?
01:07:55That boy would never mind saying no to a...
01:08:00Pistol!
01:08:03Now we're gonna talk about a new plan.
01:08:07That barrel ain't got one round in it.
01:08:10We rush him.
01:08:11Can't give him one of us!
01:08:16Hey!
01:08:19You ain't got the guts.
01:08:20No, it ain't in it!
01:08:22No!
01:08:34Put it all in this alley, my husband!
01:08:37Ain't nobody coming for ya!
01:08:45Tom!
01:08:51Look, boys.
01:08:53He's coming by a parcel.
01:08:54Tom, the pistol's empty!
01:08:56Run for him!
01:08:58I don't need a pistol, teacher.
01:09:08I reckon you should've brought an army.
01:09:11Gosh.
01:09:12Wish I'd have thought of that.
01:09:28Hands up!
01:09:29I reckon I did.
01:09:31Come on out!
01:09:33Hands up!
01:09:34Got marksmen on all the sides!
01:09:36You've got your dead to rise!
01:09:38Let's make a move towards the boy or the bond and we'll shoot!
01:09:43That's them, Jim.
01:09:49Yeah, that's them.
01:09:51That's them.
01:09:53Come runnin' for ya, huh?
01:10:17Come runnin' for ya, huh?
01:10:19Sound the trumpets!
01:10:22Bang the drums!
01:10:23Bully for Tom Sawyer!
01:10:25Vanquish your advantage!
01:10:26Conquer your conspiracies!
01:10:33The town's gonna miss you, Tom.
01:10:35Just the town?
01:10:37Now, Tom Sawyer, are you asking me to wait for you?
01:10:41I am.
01:10:42Well, that's a double-binding contract, Tom.
01:10:45I'll be constant, Becky.
01:10:46No, four years is a long time.
01:10:48But I'd like to see us try.
01:10:57The sheriff's just made the arrangements, boys.
01:11:00This vandal's the only apt to be heading back down the river this weekend.
01:11:04Leave us naturally phony papers.
01:11:07My word, we'll do our best to add 20 years to their sentences.
01:11:10Yeah, you said it.
01:11:13What a sting dog, Tom.
01:11:15Well, I'm glad to hear justice will have its day, Judge.
01:11:19Did you hear how Tom outfoxed those varmints?
01:11:21I heard he took on all three, so disarmed them then and there.
01:11:24It was mighty fisticuffs, I heard.
01:11:26The big brother was ready for the challenge.
01:11:28Saved the town at the expense of a third funeral for...
01:11:31poor Huck Finn.
01:11:36Brilliant.
01:11:37The hell it was, Tom.
01:11:39Blown out, Judge Huck.
01:11:40The bully it was, Judge.
01:11:42Tom came in fist a-blazing.
01:11:44Took out all three of them himself.
01:11:46I was just trapped and helpless, but...
01:11:48Tom was...
01:11:50White Knight hero coming home.
01:11:52I don't know where I need to go.
01:11:56I don't know where I need to go.
01:11:56I heard the way it was, Huck.
01:11:58Sure it was, Tom.
01:12:00Huck, you can't hide from all the glory forever.
01:12:03Well, in the history books, side by side, it will always be Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
01:12:11Sure it will be, Tom.
01:12:18Now, Tom, I've come find you this morning.
01:12:21I want you to meet this here fellow.
01:12:23Pleasure.
01:12:24He's a newspaper man out of San Francisco.
01:12:27Saw you right up in the St. Louis dispatch.
01:12:29Name's, uh...
01:12:30Clements.
01:12:31I'd like to talk to you, Tom, about publishing your life story.
01:12:36My life story?
01:12:38Well, I bet the Adventures of Tom Sawyer...
01:12:43Could be a best-seller.
01:12:48Wow!
01:13:02Look like maybe you're outgrown sleeping barrels, huh, Finn?
01:13:08You know me, sir?
01:13:10Aye.
01:13:11Clements.
01:13:12I'm a newspaper man.
01:13:14Came in town to talk to Tom Sawyer.
01:13:19Huh.
01:13:21Heard a lot of tales since I've been here.
01:13:24Tales from Judge Thatcher, from Love Potter, from Tom's Aunt Polly.
01:13:32Seems like every adventure Tom Sawyer's ever been on right there by his side's been Huckleberry Finn.
01:13:40Then?
01:13:42Then I talked to Jim Watson.
01:13:46Talked to Jim?
01:13:48Seems like you've had quite a few adventures yourself.
01:13:53You'll do right writing about Tom.
01:13:55I ain't no adventurer, I just want to keep out of trouble.
01:13:59Well, Tom...
01:14:01Tom's one's meant to be written about.
01:14:03He's a big talker.
01:14:05And big talkers, well, they can't write their own stories.
01:14:08They have the patience and all the inclination.
01:14:11And big talkers, they're the ones people want to read about.
01:14:15And big talkers, they sell a lot of books.
01:14:17Sometimes they tell the truth, most of the time they stretch it a little.
01:14:21And they shape policy and culture, cause what they sell is simple and easy.
01:14:26Even the most self-righteous folks don't realize they get fooled.
01:14:33But small talkers, well, the world don't want them, but the world needs them.
01:14:42They give the world perspective.
01:14:46Honesty.
01:14:48Both sides of the ride, and both sides of the home.
01:14:54The nuance that shades the gray to make up this world.
01:14:59They keep the tyrants out of power, and out of favoring the public opinion, whose nature bold appears.
01:15:07Otherwise, one kind of is.
01:15:13Now, maybe Tom Sawyer's story needs to be told, or...
01:15:16Maybe I don't want to tell it.
01:15:22The Adventures of Huckleberry Fury.
01:15:24Hmm.
01:15:26Nah, it's a story only you can tell.
01:15:32I ain't never told no stories.
01:15:35No?
01:15:36Hmm.
01:15:41That's interesting.
01:15:47How'd you know?
01:15:50I didn't write by my real name.
01:15:53You even mailed it without an address for a return.
01:15:56The more I learn about you, more clearly it'll become.
01:16:01You're a good friend.
01:16:03Huh.
01:16:06And, uh, you got a problem with some words, too.
01:16:11Maybe too good.
01:16:12That got me in a lot of trouble.
01:16:16I also brought me here.
01:16:19Now the whole world's gonna know about Tom Sawyer.
01:16:22Your best friend.
01:16:26You ever think about getting serious about your own stories?
01:16:30Yep, you let me know.
01:16:34Mark Twain.
01:16:37I don't write by my real name, either.
01:16:40I don't know.
01:16:41I don't know.
01:16:44I don't know.
01:16:49I don't know.
01:16:50I don't know.
01:16:54I don't know.
01:17:02I don't know.
01:17:02Huck, you coming down for breakfast this morning?
01:17:05Uh, after a while, Miss Douglas, I thought I might work a piece and build up some appetite.
01:17:10Well, Polly told me that Tom made it to school.
01:17:13That he's doing well.
01:17:14He's making friends.
01:17:16That's Tom's nature.
01:17:18Well, as many letters as he sent you, I really reckoned he worked.
01:17:23That's Tom's nature, too.
01:17:26You know, Huck, I just want you to know how proud I am that you changed your mind on that
01:17:31trust.
01:17:34You keeping me company here, that is payment enough.
01:17:41And, you know, it does somebody good to see you with such ambition fully for you, Huck.
01:18:18Well, I reckon now you know about me.
01:18:20And Tom.
01:18:21And Jim.
01:18:23Becky.
01:18:24And Sid.
01:18:24And Joe.
01:18:25And Mr. Mark Twain.
01:18:26And all the rest.
01:18:28And maybe now you're satisfied after all these adventures.
01:18:31I know Tom Sawyer ain't.
01:18:33But I reckon Tom Sawyer never will be.
01:18:35So I guess I ain't either.
01:18:36Cause no matter where Tom Sawyer goes.
01:18:39No matter where I go.
01:18:41It's just like Tom said.
01:18:43In the history books.
01:18:45In life.
01:18:46Side by side it'll always be.
01:18:49Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
