the Native Hawaiian.

Aloha is that pearl
beyond all else in life.
Aloha is remembrance
for the days
we walked in beauty
as children of the land.
His name was Ko'olau...
meaning
"Stands Against the Wind."
We had been together,
and in love...
[CATTLE LOWING]
...since we were children
indeed,
and we grew
our precious family here,
at our birth sands
on this island of Kaua'i.

PI'ILANI:
There is a season
for the gentle breezes.
There is a season
for the blustery winds.
There is a season
for the rains to drench.
There is a season...
for all the seasons.

Ma'am. Sorry to barge in

But looks like it's a good thing
we came when we did.
My, my...
how you've grown.
My boy says he hasn't seen you
in school in a long time.
And I can't say I seen you
or the missus
at church
in quite a spell.
It's been reported
you're showing signs of leprosy.
Is that true, Ko'olau?
If you don't answer,
I will assume
that you are sick,
which requires me
to inspect
you and any and all
of those potentially exposed.
[IN HAWAIIAN]
We are here
by the written order
of President Dole
of the Republic of Hawaii.
We don't speak that shit!
Speak English, boy.
Show me.

He's got it, all right!

[GRUMBLING SIGH]
Kaluai Ko'olau,
we are obligated by law
to take you
and your son, Kaleimanu,
to the designated
quarantine area
for immediate transport.
PI'ILANI:
No!
Then I will go with them.
No. Ma'am, you show no signs...
I am permitted
to go with my family
as a kokua, a helper,
as the ancient law declares.
Absolutely not.
The new government
does not allow it.
Only those with the sickness
will be taken,
and no one else.
You're young, and pretty...
You'll have no problem
finding another.
[GRUNTING ANGRILY]

[GUNSHOT ECHOES]
Evening, Sheriff.
I never know
your new job promotion
included rounding up
women and children
in the middle of the night.
You're pointing that thing
at a lawman,
and I'm carrying out the law.
[SPITTING]
What kind of lawman
and what kind of law
takes away citizens
in the dark of night,
'specially with the likes
of these vermin?
There's only one of you,
old man,
and three of us.
This here's buckshot.
And if I know Ko'olau,
he'd gladly take a hit
for his family.
Can't say the same
for you lot.
These here men
have been deputized,
and they're doing
these islands a service.
A service? Ha!
This boy, he could've
given it to my son.
This boy is family.
And I'll be damned
if I'm gonna let you
take him and his pa
anywhere.
Now, you folks get off my ranch.

They gonna come at you

Go! Go now!

are laid to rest.

Prove that you are

Ko'olau knows this land.
I wouldn't underestimate him.
Yes, well,

and the numbers.
You are here

There's a good man.

Sir, now, sir?

You know, we wouldn't be

What about the diseases
your people brought
to the islands?
[GRUNTS]
Did you just say
something to me?
Malaria.
Typhoid.
Syphilis.
So, you want to earn a penny,

Gunnery sergeant!
Prepare to roll!
Yes, sir! Right away!
Babcock!
You and your men
guard their rear!
Captain?
May I advise
a more stealthy approach?
Those lava tubes, they run
for miles, with many exits.
They could easily esca--
Yes. Thank you, Marshal.
May I remind you
that you are here to track?
Not advise.
You show us the way, now.
There's a good man.
Yes, sir.
Sergeant Grimes!
Yes, sir?
Pull your men up on the right.
Double-time.
We force them
from these caves and cliffs.
Run him hard!

Then why are you here
with that haole?
I only carry the white man's
things for pay,
to feed my family.
So...
so, you're helping
the haole kill my family
to help your family?
No, we're here
to bring you to another place,
so the disease will not spread.
My father said
the sickness will not spread
if we stay in the valley.
He has told me
we need to be brave
and the Creator
will protect us.
Your father is right.
You are very brave.

There they are, boys!
Get 'em, boys!
Arrest that man!
What?
Put him on the leper boat.
I don't have leprosy.
I'm not going to that place.

You should head back down

proper medical attention.
He's watching us,
Marshal.
Can you feel it?
He is watching us
right now.
Find where
he watches us from...
...and wait.
[SURF RUMBLES AND CRASHES BELOW]
[SIGHING]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]
Beautiful view,
eh, Marshal?
I used to come here,
right to this place,
when I was a kid.
My papa, too,
and his papa.
You have children,
yeah?
I had five daughters.
We lost two.
Malaria.
This is a good place
to remember your girls.
Marshal?
What you doing
with those people?
You was born
in these islands.
And now you're serving
the people who have stolen them.
I am sworn to uphold the law.
That is all.
Even when the laws are changed
by men with their own agenda?
And what would you do...
if you was in my saddle?
Come with me now
and I promise you and your son
safe passage to Moloka'i.
[CHUCKLING DERISIVELY]
"The island
of the living grave"?
And what of my wife?
What of the bonds we made
before the Creator?
Who are you
to break such bonds?
Captain McCabe
made a name for himself
by hunting down and killing
the renegade, Quantrill.
And now you
are the trophy he obsesses,
and he will not stop
until you are dead.
My son...
and my wife...
they are afraid
of this Captain McCabe.
I am not.
I will defend them.
Till the end.
I would expect
nothing less, sir.
Aloha, Marshal.
Aloha, Ko'olau.

What happened here?
You were supposed

There was a woman and child
in the line of fire.
You mean you had them in your
sights and you hesitated?
Bloody hell.
Rendezvous at the camp. Now!
[]
McCABE:
Ko'olau the Leper
and the other renegades
have elected
to resist with violence...
therefore,
no quarter will be given!
You are to shoot, on sight,
any and all fugitives,
regardless of weapon,
gender, or age.
Sir... that goes against
our directives from Honolulu.
Those are
your new orders, Sergeant!
[FLASK SLOSHES]
[DOUSING FIRE]
[GROANING]
You say
that you talked to him?
How is that?
How is what?
How is that...
[WINCING]
...you're still alive?
I believe that Ko'olau
is a man of some principle.
McCABE:
I see, Marshal.
Well, a man
with a conscience...
is far easier to break.
It's that one-eighth
of a second's hesitation
that seals his fate.
I can't imagine
that Quantrill
had much of a conscience.
[CHUCKLING]
Quantrill?
Oh, he was a sick bastard.
Cold-hearted killer.
But he did love his horse.
So I set a trap
to break his horse's leg.
And that put him
in the right mind
for me
to give him his medicine.
These are from...
President Dole.
Have a look.
Evidently...
...the international press
has caught wind
of our little engagement
in the jungle.
Embarrassing for all of us,
wouldn't you say?
A disappointment.
Captain,
I am committed
to seeing this through...
but I will not play a part
in murdering
women and children.
You speak of murder?
[McCABE SCOFFS]
You...
are a man of conscience.
I'll try not
to hold it against you...
...and I'll hope
it's not what ends you...
Marshal.

I could do.
All right.
[SNIFFING DEEPLY]
Have it his way.
I don't understand.
Why don't you
enlighten your friend?
That's close enough.

Our precious son, Kalei,

Not long after,
in the middle of the night,
the light in the house
that was Ko'olau
was extinguished.
My husband and son
had found
their true place of refuge.
Our sacred oath
was honored and fulfilled.
No man, no government
could break the bonds
of marriage and family.
There is a name
that shall never
be forgotten in Hawai'i...
a name that means
"Stands Against the Wind,"
but also now means
"Brave Watcher"...
Ko'olau.

May I advise

Those lava tubes, they run

They could easily esca--
Yes. Thank you, Marshal.
May I remind you

Not advise.
You show us the way, now.

Beautiful view,

I used to come here,

when I was a kid.
My papa, too,
and his papa.
You have children,
yeah?
I had five daughters.
We lost two.
Malaria.
This is a good place
to remember your girls.
Marshal?
What you doing
with those people?
You was born
in these islands.
And now you're serving
the people who have stolen them.
I am sworn to uphold the law.
That is all.
Even when the laws are changed
by men with their own agenda?
And what would you do...
if you was in my saddle?
Come with me now
and I promise you and your son
safe passage to Moloka'i.
[CHUCKLING DERISIVELY]
"The island
of the living grave"?
And what of my wife?
What of the bonds we made
before the Creator?
Who are you
to break such bonds?
Captain McCabe
made a name for himself
by hunting down and killing
the renegade, Quantrill.
And now you
are the trophy he obsesses,
and he will not stop
until you are dead.
My son...
and my wife...
they are afraid
of this Captain McCabe.
I am not.
I will defend them.
Till the end.
I would expect
nothing less, sir.
Aloha, Marshal.

Bloody hell.
Rendezvous at the camp. Now!

McCABE:
Ko'olau the Leper
and the other renegades
have elected
to resist with violence...
therefore,
no quarter will be given!
You are to shoot, on sight,
any and all fugitives,
regardless of weapon,

McCABE:
I see, Marshal.
Well, a man
with a conscience...
is far easier to break.
It's that one-eighth
of a second's hesitation
that seals his fate.
I can't imagine
that Quantrill
had much of a conscience.
[CHUCKLING]
Quantrill?
Oh, he was a sick bastard.
Cold-hearted killer.
But he did love his horse.
So I set a trap
to break his horse's leg.
And that put him
in the right mind
for me
to give him his medicine.
These are from...
President Dole.
Have a look.
Evidently...
...the international press
has caught wind
of our little engagement
in the jungle.
Embarrassing for all of us,
wouldn't you say?
A disappointment.
Captain,
I am committed
to seeing this through...
but I will not play a part
in murdering
women and children.
You speak of murder?
[McCABE SCOFFS]
You...
are a man of conscience.
I'll try not
to hold it against you...
...and I'll hope
it's not what ends you...
Marshal.

My husband and son
had found
their true place of refuge.
Our sacred oath
was honored and fulfilled.
No man, no government
could break the bonds
of marriage and family.
There is a name
that shall never
be forgotten in Hawai'i...
a name that means
"Stands Against the Wind,"
