[humming]
Late again.
Tom Sawyer!
[energetic music]
What happened to
your beautiful hair?
Kept gettin' in the way.
You look like a ragamuffin.
Your dress seems awfully full.
Gotta go, Auntie,
boys are waitin'!
[energetic music]
Thanks, Sidney.
[energetic music]
[horse nickering]
Ahoy, mateys!
What you got in mind
for today, cap'n?
Pirates storm the
English flagship.
That's a whack,
let's get movin'!
Hey, how come Tom
always gets to decide?
Ain't it someone else's
turn to be captain?
You know, like a boy?
You feel like walking the plank?
Reckon not.
Then get in line before I
place the black spot on ya.
That treasure will
be ours, me hearties,
or my name ain't Tom Sawyer,
Black Avenger of
the Spanish Main.
[rustling]
Boarding party.
We attack at dawn.
Die!
[yelling]
Take arms, jolly chaps,
repel them pirate thieves!
Ho, hey
[energetic music]
Hey
Ho, hey
Hey
Ho, hey
[sword slashing]
Hurrah!
Woo hoo!
[upbeat music]
We just keep walking, you hear?
We should say hello.
These fleabag ruffians
aren't worth our time.
Who you sayin' is ruffians?
I'm sayin' you are.
I should lick ya for that.
Out of my way, we'll
be goin' on now.
I'll give ya a lickin',
sword or no sword.
You say much, I will.
Much... much.
There now.
You think you're powerful
smart, don't you?
[grunting]
Blow me over, you're a girl!
And you're a coward and a puff!
[All] Fight, fight,
fight, fight!
Why don't you run along
home, girlie girl?
Wouldn't wanna make you cry.
-That's enough, Alfred!
-Hush up, Becky!
Besides, I wouldn't
fight a girl neither how.
Talk like a boy, and you
sure look like one too.
[laughing]
[screaming]
[energetic music]
Get off me!
-[grunting]
-Hey!
Stop it, Alfred!
I ain't losin' to a girl!
I said holler enough.
[grunting]
What... was that?
Enough!
That'll learn ya.
Better look who you're
foolin' with, Alfred!
[gentle instrumental music]
[giggling softly]
Ow!
[door creaking]
Can I help you, young lady?
No, sir... I was just--
You were what?
Nothin', just headed home, sir.
Well be off then.
Rebecca,
get in the house this instant!
[gentle instrumental music]
[rattling]
You lost something, Miss Tom?
Hi ya, Muff.
Yeah, my dress.
I ain't ever known
you to wear no dress.
It's a new one Aunt
Polly made for me.
-Sid must've been spying on me.
-[Muff chuckling]
[Muff] Is that right?
What's the doc selling now?
He calls it painkiller.
He teachin' me medicine.
[Tom] That's bully, Muff!
[Doc] Muff!
Get one of those special
bottles for Miss Polly.
[Polly] That's mighty
kind of you... Doctor.
[Doctor] Here, this is gonna
cure whatever's ailing you.
Mm.
Come along, Muff.
Bye, Doctor.
Bye.
[Polly] Oh, don't mind
that toppled fence!
Oh, this fence here?
Hardly even noticed it.
Hello there, Thomasina.
Afternoon, Doctor.
That's a mighty fine
niece you've got there.
-Mighty fine.
-[laughing]
[Tom grunting]
Ow, I ain't done nothin'!
I found your dress!
Sidney, you better
watch yourself!
You leave Sidney out of this!
I should tan you for
embarrassin' me in
front of the doctor
lookin' like that.
Since you have already made
such a mess of your clothes,
you will go back outside
and paint that fence!
But Auntie, it's the
last weekend of summer.
I don't care if it's the last
weekend of your entire life!
You wanna go play?
You better start doing
what you're told.
You hear me?
[boys laughing]
[footsteps approaching]
[whimsical music]
[Man] Why don't you get
your friends to help?
They ain't gonna stop playin'
to paint no big old fence.
You gotta make 'em wanna do it.
[boys laughing]
Ting a ling ling, to the
back of the starboard!
Ting a ling ling!
Hello, old chum,
gotta work, hey?
Say, Tom, you don't
have to ignore a fella
just 'cause you got
the bad lot today.
[gasping] Why it's you, Ben,
I weren't noticing.
Goin' swimmin', don't
you wish you could come?
No time, gotta get
the castle ready
before Robin Hood attacks.
Why? When's we
playin' Robin Hood?
Soon as we get this
castle wall painted.
The cannons are over here
and we get the archers
to cover the flank.
[Ben] You didn't say
nothin' 'bout no war.
Ain't tellin' nobody.
Whoever paints the fence the
mostest gets to be Robin.
I wanna be Robin!
Then who would I be?
You'd be Little John,
here, give me that.
[energetic music]
[George] What are you doin'?
[Ben] Painting the castle
for the Robin Hood war.
Robin Hood?
Who's gonna be Robin?
[Ben] Whoever paints
the fence the mostest.
Reckon I can still be Robin!
[energetic music]
[Tom] Nice and white
all over, boys,
it's gotta be a real castle.
No I painted the most!
I did!
I did!
No you didn't!
[Ben] Yes I did!
No, I painted the mostest!
[Polly] What's all the
ruckus, no lollygagging, Tom.
Aunt Polly's coming, y'all
gotta go, run, get, go!
You aren't leaving this house
'til this fence is finished,
I mean it!
All done, Auntie.
Coated and re-coated.
I never.
Let's do something
about that hair.
[sighing]
[birds chirping]
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
[bell tolling]
He makes me lie down
in green pastures
[bell tolling]
and guides me by still waters.
[bell tolling]
[sighing]
Why'd we have to come?
Everybody hated
old Hoss Williams,
why we gotta pretend we didn't?
Shh!
He just didn't know the
war was over is all.
Tom Sawyer in a church
dress, well I ain't never
-seen the day.
-Hallowed be thy name.
You ain't never
gonna see another day
if you say another word.
[Pastor] Thy kingdom
come, thy will be done.
You think all his money's
buried in there with him?
Maybe, they say old
mister spent all his days
just counting his gold.
Heard he sold his
soul to the Devil,
now the Devil took him.
Who's that man?
Who do you mean?
[Tom] That man with Muff,
I saw him yesterday.
[George] Friend
of Muff, I guess.
Reckon so.
[George] Reckon I'll see
you at school tomorrow?
Reckon not.
[birds chirping]
[groaning]
Ow!
Ow.
Tom!
What's the matter?
Sidney!
I forgive you.
Everything you've
ever done to me.
When I'm gone...
Mom, Tom's dying!
What?
[Sid] Come quick!
Tom, what's the matter?
Is she... dead?
Tom, Tom, stop this nonsense!
Auntie, my tooth.
What's the matter
with your tooth?
It's loose, aches awful.
Well your tooth might be loose
but you're not
gonna die over that.
Sidney, fetch me
the silk thread.
[Tom grunting]
No, Auntie, please
don't pull it out.
Doesn't hurt no more!
I don't wanna stay
home from school!
Oh, you don't?
Don't ya?
No, Auntie, please!
-[door slamming]
-[Tom screaming]
[ducks quacking]
[Boy singing]
[mysterious music]
[murmuring]
And we danced to the
light of the moon
The love come out tonight
[murmuring]
[screaming]
[Huck] Spying on me, Tom?
Hello, Huckleberry.
Hello yourself and
see how you like it.
[mysterious music]
[Tom] Say, Huck?
What's that dead cat for?
To cure warts, of course.
[Tom] Warts?
Most folks use spunk
water to cure warts.
Spunk water?
Wouldn't give a durn
for spunk water.
[mysterious music]
No school?
What a life.
Wish I could just sport and
swim and have a jolly time.
Suits me fine.
How do you suppose you're
curing warts with a dead cat?
Why you take the cat
to the graveyard,
long after midnight, when a
wicked man has just been buried.
A devil will come.
Maybe two or three.
You can't see 'em
but you can hear 'em
as the wind blows.
You say,
"Devil on corpse,
cat on devil,
warts on cat,
I'm done with ya!"
That'll get rid of
just about any wart.
I don't know, seems...
Don't believe me?
Come along.
I just might.
By Jiminy then.
Tonight.
Tonight?
I reckon old Hoss Williams'
ghost'll have a few devils.
Unless you're afeared?
Feared?
T'ain't likely.
-[bell tolling]
-Bother, I'll be late.
Midnight.
You'll meow?
You meow back.
Don't leave me waiting too long.
If they catch us we'll
both get a lickin'.
Won't need a second meow
'fore I'm outta bed.
See you tonight.
[murmuring]
M-- I--
S-- C--
-Tom's late.
-H...
I before E except
after C, start again.
M I S C H I E--
Ms. Dobbins.
Tom's late.
Why are you late, young lady?
It's my tooth, ma'am.
It ached awful.
My aunt had to pull it out.
She wanted to keep me home,
took a bit of pleading
but she finally let
me get to school.
And if I talk to your aunt
will she validate this story?
She won't, Ms. Dobbins.
My mom pulled Tom's
tooth, sure enough,
but I saw her talking to
that Huckleberry Finn.
This can't be true!
A young lady, consorting
with that vagrant boy?
Who's Huckleberry Finn?
An urchin, lives
down by the river,
doesn't even go to school.
Over here.
The good book says, "Spare
the rod and spoil the child."
I will not be moved
from the path of
righteousness by anyone,
boy or girl.
Hands.
[smacking]
Now get your books and just go
take a seat by the new girl.
Maybe some of her manners
will rub off on you.
Doesn't it hurt?
Nah.
[laughing]
If it ain't Ms. Dobbins'
old whipping post?
[laughing]
Reckon that's the most
exercise you've done
since your mom pushed you
out of the womb, George.
We ain't counting
your jaw grinding.
[boys laughing]
Hey, there's Becky.
Hey Becky, we haven't
met official like,
I'm George Harper.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Glen.
Hi.
Boys, how can you be so
rude in front of royalty?
Only a red carpet can
suit Queen Becky Thatcher.
Forgive their foolishness,
your highness.
Seem to be pretty high
and mighty yourself there,
Thomasina Sawyer,
always showing off.
[boys laughing]
[Glen] Hey, wait up!
[mysterious music]
[Huck meowing]
[mysterious music]
Meow.
Come on, let's go.
[frogs croaking]
Reckon them devils'll be
around about midnight.
[twigs snapping]
You hear that?
[Huck] Gotta be
them, the devils!
[shovel scraping]
Those ain't no devils.
Look, it's the doc and Muff.
That's Hoss Williams' body.
What is he doin'?
That man came by my house.
Wish we weren't here.
[whispering] Hey, hey!
We're here in the
name of science.
Not grave robbery.
Have some decency.
Did you think I'd forget?
What?
My wife was sick, you
could've saved her.
If I was white--
[Doctor] I help everyone I can.
I swore, if it took 100
years, I'd get justice!
Muff, Muff!
[groaning]
[clanging]
[groaning]
[speaking foreign language]
[groaning]
[knives scraping]
[Doc gasping]
Doc.
Doc.
This ain't right!
[Muff grunting]
Everybody's gonna know it's you.
It's your knife, the blood.
I suggest you get as far away
from this place as you can
before they come
looking for him.
What about Lisbeth
and little Betty?
I'll take care of them.
If you say one word about me...
I will slit their
throats from ear to ear!
[Muff yelling]
Now get!
Did he see us?
Dunno!
If he knows we saw him
he'll kill us sure!
Gotta keep mum about
this, you hear?
You gotta swear it, come on!
Huck, wait, town's that-a-way!
[heavy breathing]
[door creaking]
[heavy panting]
Huckleberry?
Hmm?
[Huck panting]
Isn't this Hoss Williams' house?
Yeah.
He died here, ain't you afraid?
That's what we're here for!
Gotta make an oath
to never ever tell!
What do we do?
Drop dead swear!
On the spirit of a
dead man, you see?
Hoss' ghost is our witness!
Here's some chalk,
write the oath.
What's it say?
Huck and Tom swear to keep mum
and hope to drop dead
if they ever tell!
And Hoss Williams' ghost
will haunt them forever
and ever... Write it!
Now the blood.
We say nothin'!
Never and forever!
[crickets chirping]
[mysterious music]
[crying softly]
Ya talk so much in your sleep!
You kept me awake
most of the night!
[door slamming]
What's wrong, mom?
There's been a terrible tragedy.
They found Doctor Robinson at
the graveyard this morning,
murdered.
Who done 'im in?
Muff Potter's knife
was laying next to the
poor man, rest his soul.
Whole town's out
hunting for him.
Right here in our little
town, bloody murder.
[heavy breathing]
The doc was always so nice
to him and he done that.
They find him, they'll
hang him, sure.
Huck, you hear?
Yep, they found Muff's knife,
pinned him for the murder.
There's talk about hanging.
We gotta tell.
You drop dead swore!
[heavy panting]
[sighing]
What do you say we go
to Jackson's Island
and wait 'til this whole
thing's over and done?
When?
[Huck] First light tomorrow.
Maybe.
I'll think on it.
You better not tell!
[somber music]
Hey, Becky.
I'll thank you to keep to
yourself, Thomasina Sawyer.
Making fun of me?
I never wanna
speak to you again.
Don't care if you never
wanna speak to me again,
Miss smarty!
There.
Then we'll both be happy.
[sighing]
[students murmuring]
[George] Yeah, no, I have
to agree, it probably is.
[Ben] But Ms. Dobbins,
is she just admiring it
or something?
Whatcha lookin' at?
This ain't for no girls.
Yuck!
Disgusting!
[Boy] Ms. Dobbins!
[ink splashing]
I spilled it!
It's all your fault!
[Girl] Shh, shh!
Miss Sawyer.
We're planning on good
behavior today, are we not?
Yes ma'am.
Even more than most days.
Hmm.
Children, take out
your text books
and complete the
questions on page 24.
What?
[gasping]
[book slamming]
Who is responsible for this?
[tapping]
Elizabeth Hayes?
Was it you?
[kids whispering frantically]
Ben Rogers?
[kids whispering frantically]
[suspenseful music]
Who?
Rebecca Thatcher?
Look at me!
Look at me!
Did you break into my
desk and deface my book?
Did you?
Did you?
I did it!
[scoffing]
[Ms. Dobbins] Bend over!
[whipping]
Tom?
Would you like to
come back to my house?
Sure, that'd be nice.
[whimsical music]
[Becky] Come on!
What you doing here, Becky?
Have you got a shred of
respect for your family?
Boo!
Hiya, Alfred.
Get whooped by any girls lately?
[Becky] Let's go!
[Tom] Thank you, ma'am.
[piano clanging]
[Becky] Tom!
[laughing]
Becky!
[whimsical music]
Lordy... never seen
nothin' like it.
Know what?
I hate all these things.
Stupid dresses.
You don't have to wear 'em.
Yes I do, Papa insists I
always look like a proper lady.
I wish I could just
wear whatever I want
and act like whatever
I want... like you.
At least you look nice in 'em.
[gentle instrumental music]
Try this one.
Nah, I'd look silly.
[gentle instrumental music]
You're a coward and a puff!
I'm gonna give you a lickin'!
[laughing]
You look beautiful.
Thanks.
[gasping]
Come here!
[giggling]
Ow, ow!
My butt is sore.
She hit you so hard. [giggles]
Say, you wanna be best friends?
Sure, that'd be nice.
[spitting]
[spitting]
[chuckling]
[Man yelling]
[Sheriff] We caught him
trying to sneak his wife
and daughter out of his house.
[Muff yelling]
-I didn't do nothin'!
-Mr. Potter!
Calm yourself.
[Muff crying]
Mr. Potter... Mr. Potter.
-Judge, on my life and honor!
-Becky.
[Muff] I didn't do nothing,
I didn't do nothing!
I gotta go!
Whatever do you mean?
Leavin' town.
Take me with you.
What?
I hate it here!
No, it ain't the place
for someone like you.
Come on, give it to me.
[gentle instrumental music]
[duck quacks]
Get yourself on board then.
[clanging]
Who's that?
She's my friend, Becky.
She's comin' with us.
Your granny!
Ain't no city girl
setting foot on my boat!
She'll be fine, you'll see.
Well, if I'm not wanted...
She's comin'!
You're comin'!
City girl's afraid of the river.
Becky, come on!
[water splashing]
Atta girl.
Don't need a girl.
Tom's a girl.
She ain't a girl
like... you're a girl.
What do you mean?
I mean...
You mean what?
I dunno, let's get.
[mysterious music]
[energetic music]
Steady as ya go, skipper.
Steady it is, sir.
I mean...uh...
ma'am...
[birds chirping]
Look, there it is,
Jackson's Island!
Lower the mainsail!
Aye aye.
[energetic music]
We made it, we're outlaws!
[mysterious music]
Ho, hey
Hey
[birds squawking]
Ho, hey
Hey
Ho, hey
[birds chirping]
Hey
[vocalizing]
Ho, hey
[laughing]
Ain't nothin' better than this.
No one tellin' us what to do.
Pirate's life is
the life for me.
I haven't heard
of woman pirates.
Me neither.
Ain't as common.
They're mostly dressed like men,
so no one underestimates
'em or nothin'.
But they're the
meanest of 'em all.
I wouldn't be too good a pirate.
Sure you would.
Pirates wear the
bulliest clothes,
gold and silver and diamonds.
Ain't got none but these.
Soon as we find the treasure
you can get anything you like.
Pirates don't get whipped
by school teachers,
right, Tom?
Sure enough, pirates
do the whipping.
[laughing]
You girls ever smoke a pipe?
I suppose not.
[Tom] I always wanted to.
Could you learn me, Huck?
Sure enough.
Were you planning on
spending the night here, Tom?
Of course.
Just suck in...
-[blowing]
-and puff out.
Well that's easy!
If I had known that was all
I'd be smoking for years.
My daddy's going
to be plenty mad
if I'm not at the
trial tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
[Huck coughing]
School's canceled, the
whole town's gonna be there.
Puff out, ya hear?
My daddy says, "Justice
is color blind."
Muff will get his trial just
like anyone else in our town.
[coughing]
Who's to say Muff did it?
[Becky] Everybody knows.
Well, if he did...
he'd be powerful sorry.
He liked the Doc.
"Repentance will save your soul
but it won't save
you from justice."
That's what my daddy says.
[bird squawks]
[Tom] Here, wanna smoke?
Knew it, she's no pirate,
just a scared little girl!
Cut that out, Huckleberry!
Becky ain't done nothin' wrong!
Ain't done nothin'
right neither!
I wanna go home.
Aw shucks, baby wants her mommy!
I don't have a mommy,
shows what you know!
[Huck] Fine, let the crybaby
go home to her daddy, then!
[Tom] Look what you've done!
[Huck] What do you want with
a girl like that anyway?
Thomasina Sawyer, I want you
to take me home right now!
[mysterious music]
[water splashing]
At least let me walk you home!
Leave me alone, I'm done
with this pirate nonsense!
Good, don't want you no how!
Shut your bazook!
Becky's all right!
[mocking] "My daddy says!"
Think she's too good
for the likes of us!
Too good for you, maybe!
I-- I'm gonna go
back to the island.
You can come along or not.
Don't give a lick.
[dog barking]
[muffled yelling]
Silence!
Order please.
Mr. Potter, can you tell
us what you were doing
in the cemetery on
the night in question?
We was d-d-digging up a grave.
Me and Doc Robinson.
He uses them dead bodies to
practice his medicine on.
I was a medic in the war
so he asked me to help.
Time was they'd have dragged
him out and strung him up.
He killed him, sure enough!
Hang him!
[All] Yeah!
[muffled yelling]
Outbursts of this kind
will not be tolerated!
Continue, Mr. Potter.
The doc was just lying there.
And my knife was
all bloody like.
I don't know what happened.
That's the God's honest truth.
The doc always
treated me real good.
-Hang him!
-Hang him!
-[gavel banging]
-Quiet down.
Silence, order, please.
[sighing]
You testified that you
were alone in the cemetery
with the doctor.
Is that correct?
Yes, sir.
I see.
Well, in the absence of any
other living witnesses...
We must proceed to a verdict.
And under the
circumstances, Mr. Potter,
I have no choice
but to move to a--
I'm a witness!
[gasping]
Tom, what are you doing?
Sit down!
It's me, sir, Tom Sawyer.
I were in the graveyard.
I seen it all.
Come on up to the witness stand.
Now do you solemnly
swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and
nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
I do.
Miss Sawyer.
You can call me Tom.
Tom?
Yes, well, can you tell
the court your whereabouts
last Monday, around
the hour of midnight?
I was in the graveyard.
Louder, please,
don't be afraid, now.
I were...
I was in the graveyard.
Were you anywhere near
Mr. Williams' grave?
Yes, sir.
Near as I am to you.
Was anybody with you?
Just me and...
A dead cat.
[crowd laughing]
What is a young lady like
you doing at midnight
in a graveyard with a dead cat?
Getting rid of warts.
[crowd laughing]
[clearing throat]
Three men come upon the grave.
Muff Potter...
Doc Robinson...
and that man there!
[crowd gasping]
The man that stabbed the doc!
I saw him with my
own eyes, Your Honor!
-[gavel banging]
-Silence!
Silence, order in the court!
Muff Potter's innocent!
[Judge] You get back
here, young lady!
Hey, sit down, silence!
Traitor!
Huck, I'm sorry!
Sorry don't wash,
why'd you do it?
Couldn't let Muff hang and
let the real murderer go free!
Now he knows we saw him.
Only knows I saw him!
Didn't mention you, Huck.
We made an oath!
In blood, you can't
break drop dead oaths!
We'll die!
What can we do?
Go back and erase it
before it's too late!
When's too late?
When we're dead!
Come on!
[dramatic music]
Wipe it off!
Never been madder at
anybody in my whole life
than I am at you
right now, Tom Sawyer!
It ain't coming off.
Wipe harder!
Huck,
look...
Someone's been here.
[dramatic music]
[footsteps approaching]
Upstairs!
[dramatic music]
[heavy breathing]
[speaking foreign language]
[panting]
[creaking]
[Man] Who's up there?
[clattering]
[paper crinkling]
[chuckling]
[speaking foreign language]
A map.
What do we do?
Wait.
[owl hooting]
Huck, I think he's asleep.
[stairs creaking softly]
[door creaking]
Huck!
[knife twanging]
[speaking foreign language]
[dramatic music]
[speaking foreign language]
[tense music]
[speaking foreign language]
[Huck speaking foreign language]
[Edoda speaking
foreign language]
[Huck speaking foreign language]
[Huck] So we're going
to the caves, Pa?
[speaking foreign language]
That's his lantern,
but I don't feel like
it's one of those times,
where we could really use...
[Tom] Aunt Polly!
Oh I should tan you for
scaring the life out of me!
Tom, your aunt was
awful worried about you.
It was mighty brave what
you did in court today, Tom.
Indeed it was, but I need
you to sit down with me
and tell me the whole
truth about where you were
and who you saw that night.
That was the whole truth!
Your aunt has told me that
you are prone to telling
colorful stories.
[Tom] Auntie, you
believe me, don't ya?
Of course, dear.
Muff is innocent!
Well the sheriff has a
search party out looking for
the man that you
identified, so don't worry
we will find him soon.
But I already know...
Know what, Tom?
Nothin'.
I know nothin'.
Judge, child seems
awfully tired.
Perhaps we could come and
see you in the morning?
Of course.
It'll keep 'til the morning.
Run along now, Tom,
off to bed, you hear?
Leave these problems
to the grown ups.
Rebecca!
Why didn't you tell him?
Nobody ever believes me.
I believe you.
I know where he went.
Then why won't you
tell my father?
They'll catch him
and arrest him.
Huck's with him.
He's Huck's Pa.
They hunt him down, they're
likely to shoot Huck.
No one in this town cares
about him except for me.
What are you gonna do?
Go find him.
He's in danger
and it's my fault!
When?
As soon as the grown
ups fall asleep.
[Polly] Rebecca.
Your daddy is waiting
for you outside.
[sighing]
[owl hooting]
[clanging]
-Tom!
-[Tom gasping]
By jingo, you nearly
spooked me to death.
I'm going with you.
Ha.
No how.
I brought supplies.
They're Alfred's old riding
britches, you like them?
Lordy, what's this?
My daddy's Army saber,
reckon we might need a weapon.
Ya ain't coming.
[Becky] I wanna be
brave like you today!
But you hate Huck.
He needs help.
[Tom] You darn lost
your mind, Becky.
Come on.
[howling]
[Becky] You know
these caves, Tom?
Been a couple of times,
but they've been
closed off for a while.
Why are they closed off?
Hoss' daughter died
in there, they say.
Lot of folks went in searching
for her, didn't come out.
You like gum?
I should say so.
I'll let you chew mine a while
but you must give it back.
Where did Mr. Willams
get all his gold?
They say he was a knight,
a knight of the Golden Circle.
What's that?
Confederates who didn't
give in to the Yankees.
You ever heard of
John Wilkes Booth?
'Course I have.
He was one.
When the North closed in,
these knights would steal
slabs of gold and hide it.
Why?
'Cause when the time is right
they can rise again.
Tom?
There it is!
[dramatic music]
Huck's in there.
[Becky] It's pitch black.
[Tom] I brought a lantern.
[Becky] Maybe we should
wait for them to come out?
[dramatic music]
[Huck] Ain't you a'feared
of Hoss' daughter?
[speaking foreign language]
Sure you're reading
it right, Edoda?
[bats chirping]
[suspenseful music]
[Huck whooping]
[speaking foreign language]
[bats flapping]
[Huck screaming]
[groaning]
[grunting]
[speaking foreign language]
[Huck breathing heavy]
[Huck speaking foreign language]
[water dripping]
[bat screeching]
Just a bat.
What's that?
A shell
Huck left us a trail.
[dramatic music]
[speaking foreign language]
[ominous music]
[heavy breathing]
Darn, no shells.
Must've missed a
turn a ways back.
[sighing]
Tom?
What?
[bats chirping]
A few bats never hurt no one.
[bats screeching]
[screaming]
Becky, wait!
[grunting]
[bars rattling]
[Edoda yelling]
[yelling]
[speaking foreign language]
[Tom] Can't just sit there.
Shouldn't have let me come.
I'm just a silly girl.
I didn't say that.
It's what you're thinking.
Are you gonna get up?
[somber music]
[water dripping]
You're right, I
hate silly girls.
[crying softly]
[ominous music]
[sighing]
You're right.
We should've let the
grown ups handle this.
We're lost and it's my fault.
You left me.
Looking for a way out.
Are we gonna die?
Someone will turn up.
[crickets chirping]
[speaking foreign language]
[glass breaking]
[whistling]
[speaking foreign language]
[Polly] Oh I swear that child
will be the death of me.
I don't think she's lying.
A murderer on the loose.
[Man] All the more reason
to keep her out of harm's
way until we find this fella.
[Sheriff] I have a search
party on patrol, don't worry,
we'll find her.
[dramatic music]
[grunting]
[Huck] Tom, Tom!
Tom, Tom!
[fuse sizzling]
Get out of the house!
Tom, get out!
Dynamite, get out of the house!
[suspenseful music]
[explosion booming]
Tom, wake up, ya thick head!
[screaming]
What in the world happened here?
[Huck] I gotta get Tom!
The caves!
Stop!
[Huck] Tom's in the
caves looking for me!
Wait, where's Becky?
[Huck] In the caves
too, like as not!
[dramatic music]
[Becky] Do you think
about them much?
Don't remember them too well.
They both died in the war.
My Pa took a bullet.
And my Ma, she were a nurse
and got powerful sick.
I think about my
mama all the time.
Daddy doesn't talk
about her much.
Other than that she had
to leave to get better
and one day she'll be back.
Better from what?
I don't know.
I like to think that she's
traveling with the circus.
[kissing]
She'll be back one day.
Just wait and see.
[kissing]
[whimsical music]
What do you say we try and
find a way out of here?
On your feet, men,
let's move out.
Sir!
Now just one second!
Those caves have been
abandoned for years.
They could collapse at any time!
Sheriff,
it's my daughter in there.
[whimsical music]
Whoa.
[bats chirping]
Look.
They were here.
[rock clattering]
Don't look down.
[dramatic music]
[heavy panting]
[ominous music]
-[screaming]
-[skull clattering]
[speaking foreign language]
[dramatic music]
[speaking foreign language]
[suspenseful music]
[battle music]
Hey
Where's Huck?
Ho, hey
Where's Huck?
Good question.
Ho, hey
[grunting]
[energetic battle music]
[grunting]
Ha! You're a brave little girl.
[Becky grunting]
[rock clattering]
Who's this?
Becky Thatcher.
My daddy's gonna hang
you for what you've done.
[yelling in agony]
[grunting]
[Man] Don't even try kid!
Open that bag!
Pull out some sticks.
[Judge] Keep moving, men.
[dramatic music]
[wick sizzling]
[suspenseful music]
[explosion booming]
What the hell was that?
[coughing]
[coins ringing]
[treasure clanking]
[girls coughing]
[Huck] Tom, let's go!
[speaking foreign language]
[coughing]
Ain't worth killin' for!
[Huck] I was a little boy!
You took off and left me!
But Tom,
Tom is my friend!
[rocks clattering]
Huck, let's go!
-Go on.
-We need to go now!
[dramatic music]
Come on, we gotta go!
Edoda, come with us!
[dramatic music]
[treasure clattering]
[Tom] Come on!
[Tom yelling]
Hurry, this way!
[yelling]
-[crunching]
-[Edoda screaming]
[birds chirping]
[heavy breathing]
[panting]
The only way in is blocked.
There must be something
more you can do.
Get a team down here,
try to clear it out.
In the meantime, Sheriff,
you and your men,
you search every inch
of this hillside!
Look for another way in.
[somber music]
[crying softly]
[knocking]
[Polly] I'd be lying if I said
Thomasina wasn't a handful.
She tormented the
old heart out of me.
[laughing sadly]
She wasn't bad, so to say.
Just giddy and harem scarem.
Couldn't get her
to comb her hair
but she was mighty smart.
[somber music]
[sniffling]
She was just like her mother.
Mischievous.
Clever.
And the biggest-hearted
girl I ever did see.
[sniffling]
[coughing]
[Becky] Tom, Tom!
Tom, Tom, wake up!
Tom, please don't... Tom!
[sobbing] Tom...
Tom, wake up!
[sad music]
If I had it to do
over again I would...
[sobbing]
I would
hug her and tell her what
a comfort she was to me.
[sobbing]
Tom.
Tom, wake up.
Please wake up, please.
[gasping]
[coughing]
It's so hard.
I'm gonna get us out of here.
I promise.
Ho... hey
[energetic music]
Ho... hey
[sniffling]
[awe inspiring music]
[crying]
Tom?
You too, Rebecca.
[Judge] She's back!
Did you really mean all them
things you said up there?
Oh you were here the whole time?
I ought to tan you!
Sidney, don't tell me
you were crying too.
Tom.
Thanks for taking care
of my sister in there.
I missed you too, Alfred.
Huckleberry, come
here for a moment.
That was an awfully
courageous thing you did.
Weren't nothin', ma'am.
[chuckling softly]
[Polly squealing]
[Huck quietly grunting]
Huck and me are sorry
we didn't tell the
truth sooner, Muff.
You done right showing up,
Miss Tom, you done right.
Me and my family
will be thanking you
for the rest of our lives.
[folksy music]
Ho, hey
Ho, hey
[yelling]
[silverware clattering]
It ain't fair, Auntie,
everybody else gets to play.
Ho, hey
Hey... Ho
You two are heroes
and guests of honor,
your mommy and daddy
would be so proud, Tom!
And Huckleberry looks
like a proper gentleman.
[laughing]
Ho, hey
[folksy music]
Ho, hey
Hey, ho
Ho, hey
Hey, ho
Ho, hey
Ho, hey
Hey, ho
Ho, hey
Hey, ho
Huck?
Huck,
brought you some cake.
Huckleberry Finn, tell
me what's eating ya
or I'll lick ya so hard you
won't never leave this fort!
[stream water trickling]
[sighing]
I don't fit, Tom.
Too many blamed rules.
[sighing]
Wakin' up same
time every morning,
washing, combing.
It ain't for me.
Reckon I might take the
raft and head downriver.
See the world.
[Tom] Can't you try
a little longer?
I ain't gonna wear one of them
cussed ties as long as I--
[kissing]
[playful music]
Can't you ask her
to ease up a bit?
Let me swim when I want?
Maybe smoke a little tobacco?
I reckon I know how
to get around Auntie.
Tom, I gotta show you something.
Couldn't leave it all behind.
[coins clattering]
[laughing]
[energetic music]
We're rich, Tom!
Our little secret.
That's bully, Huck!
I'm gonna buy a house.
I'm gonna buy underwear!
[energetic music]
[mysterious music]
[ominous music]
[whimsical music]
[gentle instrumental music]
[frog croaking]
[scissors snipping]
[humming]
Late again.
Tom Sawyer!
[energetic music]
What happened to
your beautiful hair?
Kept gettin' in the way.
You look like a ragamuffin.
Your dress seems awfully full.
Gotta go, Auntie,
boys are waitin'!
[energetic music]
Thanks, Sidney.
[energetic music]
[horse nickering]
Ahoy, mateys!
What you got in mind
for today, cap'n?
Pirates storm the
English flagship.
That's a whack,
let's get movin'!
Hey, how come Tom
always gets to decide?
Ain't it someone else's
turn to be captain?
You know, like a boy?
You feel like walking the plank?
Reckon not.
Then get in line before I
place the black spot on ya.
That treasure will
be ours, me hearties,
or my name ain't Tom Sawyer,
Black Avenger of
the Spanish Main.
[rustling]
Boarding party.
We attack at dawn.
Die!
[yelling]
Take arms, jolly chaps,
repel them pirate thieves!
Ho, hey
[energetic music]
Hey
Ho, hey
Hey
Ho, hey
[sword slashing]
Hurrah!
Woo hoo!
[upbeat music]
We just keep walking, you hear?
We should say hello.
These fleabag ruffians
aren't worth our time.
Who you sayin' is ruffians?
I'm sayin' you are.
I should lick ya for that.
Out of my way, we'll
be goin' on now.
I'll give ya a lickin',
sword or no sword.
You say much, I will.
Much... much.
There now.
You think you're powerful
smart, don't you?
[grunting]
Blow me over, you're a girl!
And you're a coward and a puff!
[All] Fight, fight,
fight, fight!
Why don't you run along
home, girlie girl?
Wouldn't wanna make you cry.
-That's enough, Alfred!
-Hush up, Becky!
Besides, I wouldn't
fight a girl neither how.
Talk like a boy, and you
sure look like one too.
[laughing]
[screaming]
[energetic music]
Get off me!
-[grunting]
-Hey!
Stop it, Alfred!
I ain't losin' to a girl!
I said holler enough.
[grunting]
What... was that?
Enough!
That'll learn ya.
Better look who you're
foolin' with, Alfred!
[gentle instrumental music]
[giggling softly]
Ow!
[door creaking]
Can I help you, young lady?
No, sir... I was just--
You were what?
Nothin', just headed home, sir.
Well be off then.
Rebecca,
get in the house this instant!
[gentle instrumental music]
[rattling]
You lost something, Miss Tom?
Hi ya, Muff.
Yeah, my dress.
I ain't ever known
you to wear no dress.
It's a new one Aunt
Polly made for me.
-Sid must've been spying on me.
-[Muff chuckling]
[Muff] Is that right?
What's the doc selling now?
He calls it painkiller.
He teachin' me medicine.
[Tom] That's bully, Muff!
[Doc] Muff!
Get one of those special
bottles for Miss Polly.
[Polly] That's mighty
kind of you... Doctor.
[Doctor] Here, this is gonna
cure whatever's ailing you.
Mm.
Come along, Muff.
Bye, Doctor.
Bye.
[Polly] Oh, don't mind
that toppled fence!
Oh, this fence here?
Hardly even noticed it.
Hello there, Thomasina.
Afternoon, Doctor.
That's a mighty fine
niece you've got there.
-Mighty fine.
-[laughing]
[Tom grunting]
Ow, I ain't done nothin'!
I found your dress!
Sidney, you better
watch yourself!
You leave Sidney out of this!
I should tan you for
embarrassin' me in
front of the doctor
lookin' like that.
Since you have already made
such a mess of your clothes,
you will go back outside
and paint that fence!
But Auntie, it's the
last weekend of summer.
I don't care if it's the last
weekend of your entire life!
You wanna go play?
You better start doing
what you're told.
You hear me?
[boys laughing]
[footsteps approaching]
[whimsical music]
[Man] Why don't you get
your friends to help?
They ain't gonna stop playin'
to paint no big old fence.
You gotta make 'em wanna do it.
[boys laughing]
Ting a ling ling, to the
back of the starboard!
Ting a ling ling!
Hello, old chum,
gotta work, hey?
Say, Tom, you don't
have to ignore a fella
just 'cause you got
the bad lot today.
[gasping] Why it's you, Ben,
I weren't noticing.
Goin' swimmin', don't
you wish you could come?
No time, gotta get
the castle ready
before Robin Hood attacks.
Why? When's we
playin' Robin Hood?
Soon as we get this
castle wall painted.
The cannons are over here
and we get the archers
to cover the flank.
[Ben] You didn't say
nothin' 'bout no war.
Ain't tellin' nobody.
Whoever paints the fence the
mostest gets to be Robin.
I wanna be Robin!
Then who would I be?
You'd be Little John,
here, give me that.
[energetic music]
[George] What are you doin'?
[Ben] Painting the castle
for the Robin Hood war.
Robin Hood?
Who's gonna be Robin?
[Ben] Whoever paints
the fence the mostest.
Reckon I can still be Robin!
[energetic music]
[Tom] Nice and white
all over, boys,
it's gotta be a real castle.
No I painted the most!
I did!
I did!
No you didn't!
[Ben] Yes I did!
No, I painted the mostest!
[Polly] What's all the
ruckus, no lollygagging, Tom.
Aunt Polly's coming, y'all
gotta go, run, get, go!
You aren't leaving this house
'til this fence is finished,
I mean it!
All done, Auntie.
Coated and re-coated.
I never.
Let's do something
about that hair.
[sighing]
[birds chirping]
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
[bell tolling]
He makes me lie down
in green pastures
[bell tolling]
and guides me by still waters.
[bell tolling]
[sighing]
Why'd we have to come?
Everybody hated
old Hoss Williams,
why we gotta pretend we didn't?
Shh!
He just didn't know the
war was over is all.
Tom Sawyer in a church
dress, well I ain't never
-seen the day.
-Hallowed be thy name.
You ain't never
gonna see another day
if you say another word.
[Pastor] Thy kingdom
come, thy will be done.
You think all his money's
buried in there with him?
Maybe, they say old
mister spent all his days
just counting his gold.
Heard he sold his
soul to the Devil,
now the Devil took him.
Who's that man?
Who do you mean?
[Tom] That man with Muff,
I saw him yesterday.
[George] Friend
of Muff, I guess.
Reckon so.
[George] Reckon I'll see
you at school tomorrow?
Reckon not.
[birds chirping]
[groaning]
Ow!
Ow.
Tom!
What's the matter?
Sidney!
I forgive you.
Everything you've
ever done to me.
When I'm gone...
Mom, Tom's dying!
What?
[Sid] Come quick!
Tom, what's the matter?
Is she... dead?
Tom, Tom, stop this nonsense!
Auntie, my tooth.
What's the matter
with your tooth?
It's loose, aches awful.
Well your tooth might be loose
but you're not
gonna die over that.
Sidney, fetch me
the silk thread.
[Tom grunting]
No, Auntie, please
don't pull it out.
Doesn't hurt no more!
I don't wanna stay
home from school!
Oh, you don't?
Don't ya?
No, Auntie, please!
-[door slamming]
-[Tom screaming]
[ducks quacking]
[Boy singing]
[mysterious music]
[murmuring]
And we danced to the
light of the moon
The love come out tonight
[murmuring]
[screaming]
[Huck] Spying on me, Tom?
Hello, Huckleberry.
Hello yourself and
see how you like it.
[mysterious music]
[Tom] Say, Huck?
What's that dead cat for?
To cure warts, of course.
[Tom] Warts?
Most folks use spunk
water to cure warts.
Spunk water?
Wouldn't give a durn
for spunk water.
[mysterious music]
No school?
What a life.
Wish I could just sport and
swim and have a jolly time.
Suits me fine.
How do you suppose you're
curing warts with a dead cat?
Why you take the cat
to the graveyard,
long after midnight, when a
wicked man has just been buried.
A devil will come.
Maybe two or three.
You can't see 'em
but you can hear 'em
as the wind blows.
You say,
"Devil on corpse,
cat on devil,
warts on cat,
I'm done with ya!"
That'll get rid of
just about any wart.
I don't know, seems...
Don't believe me?
Come along.
I just might.
By Jiminy then.
Tonight.
Tonight?
I reckon old Hoss Williams'
ghost'll have a few devils.
Unless you're afeared?
Feared?
T'ain't likely.
-[bell tolling]
-Bother, I'll be late.
Midnight.
You'll meow?
You meow back.
Don't leave me waiting too long.
If they catch us we'll
both get a lickin'.
Won't need a second meow
'fore I'm outta bed.
See you tonight.
[murmuring]
M-- I--
S-- C--
-Tom's late.
-H...
I before E except
after C, start again.
M I S C H I E--
Ms. Dobbins.
Tom's late.
Why are you late, young lady?
It's my tooth, ma'am.
It ached awful.
My aunt had to pull it out.
She wanted to keep me home,
took a bit of pleading
but she finally let
me get to school.
And if I talk to your aunt
will she validate this story?
She won't, Ms. Dobbins.
My mom pulled Tom's
tooth, sure enough,
but I saw her talking to
that Huckleberry Finn.
This can't be true!
A young lady, consorting
with that vagrant boy?
Who's Huckleberry Finn?
An urchin, lives
down by the river,
doesn't even go to school.
Over here.
The good book says, "Spare
the rod and spoil the child."
I will not be moved
from the path of
righteousness by anyone,
boy or girl.
Hands.
[smacking]
Now get your books and just go
take a seat by the new girl.
Maybe some of her manners
will rub off on you.
Doesn't it hurt?
Nah.
[laughing]
If it ain't Ms. Dobbins'
old whipping post?
[laughing]
Reckon that's the most
exercise you've done
since your mom pushed you
out of the womb, George.
We ain't counting
your jaw grinding.
[boys laughing]
Hey, there's Becky.
Hey Becky, we haven't
met official like,
I'm George Harper.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Glen.
Hi.
Boys, how can you be so
rude in front of royalty?
Only a red carpet can
suit Queen Becky Thatcher.
Forgive their foolishness,
your highness.
Seem to be pretty high
and mighty yourself there,
Thomasina Sawyer,
always showing off.
[boys laughing]
[Glen] Hey, wait up!
[mysterious music]
[Huck meowing]
[mysterious music]
Meow.
Come on, let's go.
[frogs croaking]
Reckon them devils'll be
around about midnight.
[twigs snapping]
You hear that?
[Huck] Gotta be
them, the devils!
[shovel scraping]
Those ain't no devils.
Look, it's the doc and Muff.
That's Hoss Williams' body.
What is he doin'?
That man came by my house.
Wish we weren't here.
[whispering] Hey, hey!
We're here in the
name of science.
Not grave robbery.
Have some decency.
Did you think I'd forget?
What?
My wife was sick, you
could've saved her.
If I was white--
[Doctor] I help everyone I can.
I swore, if it took 100
years, I'd get justice!
Muff, Muff!
[groaning]
[clanging]
[groaning]
[speaking foreign language]
[groaning]
[knives scraping]
[Doc gasping]
Doc.
Doc.
This ain't right!
[Muff grunting]
Everybody's gonna know it's you.
It's your knife, the blood.
I suggest you get as far away
from this place as you can
before they come
looking for him.
What about Lisbeth
and little Betty?
I'll take care of them.
If you say one word about me...
I will slit their
throats from ear to ear!
[Muff yelling]
Now get!
Did he see us?
Dunno!
If he knows we saw him
he'll kill us sure!
Gotta keep mum about
this, you hear?
You gotta swear it, come on!
Huck, wait, town's that-a-way!
[heavy breathing]
[door creaking]
[heavy panting]
Huckleberry?
Hmm?
[Huck panting]
Isn't this Hoss Williams' house?
Yeah.
He died here, ain't you afraid?
That's what we're here for!
Gotta make an oath
to never ever tell!
What do we do?
Drop dead swear!
On the spirit of a
dead man, you see?
Hoss' ghost is our witness!
Here's some chalk,
write the oath.
What's it say?
Huck and Tom swear to keep mum
and hope to drop dead
if they ever tell!
And Hoss Williams' ghost
will haunt them forever
and ever... Write it!
Now the blood.
We say nothin'!
Never and forever!
[crickets chirping]
[mysterious music]
[crying softly]
Ya talk so much in your sleep!
You kept me awake
most of the night!
[door slamming]
What's wrong, mom?
There's been a terrible tragedy.
They found Doctor Robinson at
the graveyard this morning,
murdered.
Who done 'im in?
Muff Potter's knife
was laying next to the
poor man, rest his soul.
Whole town's out
hunting for him.
Right here in our little
town, bloody murder.
[heavy breathing]
The doc was always so nice
to him and he done that.
They find him, they'll
hang him, sure.
Huck, you hear?
Yep, they found Muff's knife,
pinned him for the murder.
There's talk about hanging.
We gotta tell.
You drop dead swore!
[heavy panting]
[sighing]
What do you say we go
to Jackson's Island
and wait 'til this whole
thing's over and done?
When?
[Huck] First light tomorrow.
Maybe.
I'll think on it.
You better not tell!
[somber music]
Hey, Becky.
I'll thank you to keep to
yourself, Thomasina Sawyer.
Making fun of me?
I never wanna
speak to you again.
Don't care if you never
wanna speak to me again,
Miss smarty!
There.
Then we'll both be happy.
[sighing]
[students murmuring]
[George] Yeah, no, I have
to agree, it probably is.
[Ben] But Ms. Dobbins,
is she just admiring it
or something?
Whatcha lookin' at?
This ain't for no girls.
Yuck!
Disgusting!
[Boy] Ms. Dobbins!
[ink splashing]
I spilled it!
It's all your fault!
[Girl] Shh, shh!
Miss Sawyer.
We're planning on good
behavior today, are we not?
Yes ma'am.
Even more than most days.
Hmm.
Children, take out
your text books
and complete the
questions on page 24.
What?
[gasping]
[book slamming]
Who is responsible for this?
[tapping]
Elizabeth Hayes?
Was it you?
[kids whispering frantically]
Ben Rogers?
[kids whispering frantically]
[suspenseful music]
Who?
Rebecca Thatcher?
Look at me!
Look at me!
Did you break into my
desk and deface my book?
Did you?
Did you?
I did it!
[scoffing]
[Ms. Dobbins] Bend over!
[whipping]
Tom?
Would you like to
come back to my house?
Sure, that'd be nice.
[whimsical music]
[Becky] Come on!
What you doing here, Becky?
Have you got a shred of
respect for your family?
Boo!
Hiya, Alfred.
Get whooped by any girls lately?
[Becky] Let's go!
[Tom] Thank you, ma'am.
[piano clanging]
[Becky] Tom!
[laughing]
Becky!
[whimsical music]
Lordy... never seen
nothin' like it.
Know what?
I hate all these things.
Stupid dresses.
You don't have to wear 'em.
Yes I do, Papa insists I
always look like a proper lady.
I wish I could just
wear whatever I want
and act like whatever
I want... like you.
At least you look nice in 'em.
[gentle instrumental music]
Try this one.
Nah, I'd look silly.
[gentle instrumental music]
You're a coward and a puff!
I'm gonna give you a lickin'!
[laughing]
You look beautiful.
Thanks.
[gasping]
Come here!
[giggling]
Ow, ow!
My butt is sore.
She hit you so hard. [giggles]
Say, you wanna be best friends?
Sure, that'd be nice.
[spitting]
[spitting]
[chuckling]
[Man yelling]
[Sheriff] We caught him
trying to sneak his wife
and daughter out of his house.
[Muff yelling]
-I didn't do nothin'!
-Mr. Potter!
Calm yourself.
[Muff crying]
Mr. Potter... Mr. Potter.
-Judge, on my life and honor!
-Becky.
[Muff] I didn't do nothing,
I didn't do nothing!
I gotta go!
Whatever do you mean?
Leavin' town.
Take me with you.
What?
I hate it here!
No, it ain't the place
for someone like you.
Come on, give it to me.
[gentle instrumental music]
[duck quacks]
Get yourself on board then.
[clanging]
Who's that?
She's my friend, Becky.
She's comin' with us.
Your granny!
Ain't no city girl
setting foot on my boat!
She'll be fine, you'll see.
Well, if I'm not wanted...
She's comin'!
You're comin'!
City girl's afraid of the river.
Becky, come on!
[water splashing]
Atta girl.
Don't need a girl.
Tom's a girl.
She ain't a girl
like... you're a girl.
What do you mean?
I mean...
You mean what?
I dunno, let's get.
[mysterious music]
[energetic music]
Steady as ya go, skipper.
Steady it is, sir.
I mean...uh...
ma'am...
[birds chirping]
Look, there it is,
Jackson's Island!
Lower the mainsail!
Aye aye.
[energetic music]
We made it, we're outlaws!
[mysterious music]
Ho, hey
Hey
[birds squawking]
Ho, hey
Hey
Ho, hey
[birds chirping]
Hey
[vocalizing]
Ho, hey
[laughing]
Ain't nothin' better than this.
No one tellin' us what to do.
Pirate's life is
the life for me.
I haven't heard
of woman pirates.
Me neither.
Ain't as common.
They're mostly dressed like men,
so no one underestimates
'em or nothin'.
But they're the
meanest of 'em all.
I wouldn't be too good a pirate.
Sure you would.
Pirates wear the
bulliest clothes,
gold and silver and diamonds.
Ain't got none but these.
Soon as we find the treasure
you can get anything you like.
Pirates don't get whipped
by school teachers,
right, Tom?
Sure enough, pirates
do the whipping.
[laughing]
You girls ever smoke a pipe?
I suppose not.
[Tom] I always wanted to.
Could you learn me, Huck?
Sure enough.
Were you planning on
spending the night here, Tom?
Of course.
Just suck in...
-[blowing]
-and puff out.
Well that's easy!
If I had known that was all
I'd be smoking for years.
My daddy's going
to be plenty mad
if I'm not at the
trial tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
[Huck coughing]
School's canceled, the
whole town's gonna be there.
Puff out, ya hear?
My daddy says, "Justice
is color blind."
Muff will get his trial just
like anyone else in our town.
[coughing]
Who's to say Muff did it?
[Becky] Everybody knows.
Well, if he did...
he'd be powerful sorry.
He liked the Doc.
"Repentance will save your soul
but it won't save
you from justice."
That's what my daddy says.
[bird squawks]
[Tom] Here, wanna smoke?
Knew it, she's no pirate,
just a scared little girl!
Cut that out, Huckleberry!
Becky ain't done nothin' wrong!
Ain't done nothin'
right neither!
I wanna go home.
Aw shucks, baby wants her mommy!
I don't have a mommy,
shows what you know!
[Huck] Fine, let the crybaby
go home to her daddy, then!
[Tom] Look what you've done!
[Huck] What do you want with
a girl like that anyway?
Thomasina Sawyer, I want you
to take me home right now!
[mysterious music]
[water splashing]
At least let me walk you home!
Leave me alone, I'm done
with this pirate nonsense!
Good, don't want you no how!
Shut your bazook!
Becky's all right!
[mocking] "My daddy says!"
Think she's too good
for the likes of us!
Too good for you, maybe!
I-- I'm gonna go
back to the island.
You can come along or not.
Don't give a lick.
[dog barking]
[muffled yelling]
Silence!
Order please.
Mr. Potter, can you tell
us what you were doing
in the cemetery on
the night in question?
We was d-d-digging up a grave.
Me and Doc Robinson.
He uses them dead bodies to
practice his medicine on.
I was a medic in the war
so he asked me to help.
Time was they'd have dragged
him out and strung him up.
He killed him, sure enough!
Hang him!
[All] Yeah!
[muffled yelling]
Outbursts of this kind
will not be tolerated!
Continue, Mr. Potter.
The doc was just lying there.
And my knife was
all bloody like.
I don't know what happened.
That's the God's honest truth.
The doc always
treated me real good.
-Hang him!
-Hang him!
-[gavel banging]
-Quiet down.
Silence, order, please.
[sighing]
You testified that you
were alone in the cemetery
with the doctor.
Is that correct?
Yes, sir.
I see.
Well, in the absence of any
other living witnesses...
We must proceed to a verdict.
And under the
circumstances, Mr. Potter,
I have no choice
but to move to a--
I'm a witness!
[gasping]
Tom, what are you doing?
Sit down!
It's me, sir, Tom Sawyer.
I were in the graveyard.
I seen it all.
Come on up to the witness stand.
Now do you solemnly
swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and
nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
I do.
Miss Sawyer.
You can call me Tom.
Tom?
Yes, well, can you tell
the court your whereabouts
last Monday, around
the hour of midnight?
I was in the graveyard.
Louder, please,
don't be afraid, now.
I were...
I was in the graveyard.
Were you anywhere near
Mr. Williams' grave?
Yes, sir.
Near as I am to you.
Was anybody with you?
Just me and...
A dead cat.
[crowd laughing]
What is a young lady like
you doing at midnight
in a graveyard with a dead cat?
Getting rid of warts.
[crowd laughing]
[clearing throat]
Three men come upon the grave.
Muff Potter...
Doc Robinson...
and that man there!
[crowd gasping]
The man that stabbed the doc!
I saw him with my
own eyes, Your Honor!
-[gavel banging]
-Silence!
Silence, order in the court!
Muff Potter's innocent!
[Judge] You get back
here, young lady!
Hey, sit down, silence!
Traitor!
Huck, I'm sorry!
Sorry don't wash,
why'd you do it?
Couldn't let Muff hang and
let the real murderer go free!
Now he knows we saw him.
Only knows I saw him!
Didn't mention you, Huck.
We made an oath!
In blood, you can't
break drop dead oaths!
We'll die!
What can we do?
Go back and erase it
before it's too late!
When's too late?
When we're dead!
Come on!
[dramatic music]
Wipe it off!
Never been madder at
anybody in my whole life
than I am at you
right now, Tom Sawyer!
It ain't coming off.
Wipe harder!
Huck,
look...
Someone's been here.
[dramatic music]
[footsteps approaching]
Upstairs!
[dramatic music]
[heavy breathing]
[speaking foreign language]
[panting]
[creaking]
[Man] Who's up there?
[clattering]
[paper crinkling]
[chuckling]
[speaking foreign language]
A map.
What do we do?
Wait.
[owl hooting]
Huck, I think he's asleep.
[stairs creaking softly]
[door creaking]
Huck!
[knife twanging]
[speaking foreign language]
[dramatic music]
[speaking foreign language]
[tense music]
[speaking foreign language]
[Huck speaking foreign language]
[Edoda speaking
foreign language]
[Huck speaking foreign language]
[Huck] So we're going
to the caves, Pa?
[speaking foreign language]
That's his lantern,
but I don't feel like
it's one of those times,
where we could really use...
[Tom] Aunt Polly!
Oh I should tan you for
scaring the life out of me!
Tom, your aunt was
awful worried about you.
It was mighty brave what
you did in court today, Tom.
Indeed it was, but I need
you to sit down with me
and tell me the whole
truth about where you were
and who you saw that night.
That was the whole truth!
Your aunt has told me that
you are prone to telling
colorful stories.
[Tom] Auntie, you
believe me, don't ya?
Of course, dear.
Muff is innocent!
Well the sheriff has a
search party out looking for
the man that you
identified, so don't worry
we will find him soon.
But I already know...
Know what, Tom?
Nothin'.
I know nothin'.
Judge, child seems
awfully tired.
Perhaps we could come and
see you in the morning?
Of course.
It'll keep 'til the morning.
Run along now, Tom,
off to bed, you hear?
Leave these problems
to the grown ups.
Rebecca!
Why didn't you tell him?
Nobody ever believes me.
I believe you.
I know where he went.
Then why won't you
tell my father?
They'll catch him
and arrest him.
Huck's with him.
He's Huck's Pa.
They hunt him down, they're
likely to shoot Huck.
No one in this town cares
about him except for me.
What are you gonna do?
Go find him.
He's in danger
and it's my fault!
When?
As soon as the grown
ups fall asleep.
[Polly] Rebecca.
Your daddy is waiting
for you outside.
[sighing]
[owl hooting]
[clanging]
-Tom!
-[Tom gasping]
By jingo, you nearly
spooked me to death.
I'm going with you.
Ha.
No how.
I brought supplies.
They're Alfred's old riding
britches, you like them?
Lordy, what's this?
My daddy's Army saber,
reckon we might need a weapon.
Ya ain't coming.
[Becky] I wanna be
brave like you today!
But you hate Huck.
He needs help.
[Tom] You darn lost
your mind, Becky.
Come on.
[howling]
[Becky] You know
these caves, Tom?
Been a couple of times,
but they've been
closed off for a while.
Why are they closed off?
Hoss' daughter died
in there, they say.
Lot of folks went in searching
for her, didn't come out.
You like gum?
I should say so.
I'll let you chew mine a while
but you must give it back.
Where did Mr. Willams
get all his gold?
They say he was a knight,
a knight of the Golden Circle.
What's that?
Confederates who didn't
give in to the Yankees.
You ever heard of
John Wilkes Booth?
'Course I have.
He was one.
When the North closed in,
these knights would steal
slabs of gold and hide it.
Why?
'Cause when the time is right
they can rise again.
Tom?
There it is!
[dramatic music]
Huck's in there.
[Becky] It's pitch black.
[Tom] I brought a lantern.
[Becky] Maybe we should
wait for them to come out?
[dramatic music]
[Huck] Ain't you a'feared
of Hoss' daughter?
[speaking foreign language]
Sure you're reading
it right, Edoda?
[bats chirping]
[suspenseful music]
[Huck whooping]
[speaking foreign language]
[bats flapping]
[Huck screaming]
[groaning]
[grunting]
[speaking foreign language]
[Huck breathing heavy]
[Huck speaking foreign language]
[water dripping]
[bat screeching]
Just a bat.
What's that?
A shell
Huck left us a trail.
[dramatic music]
[speaking foreign language]
[ominous music]
[heavy breathing]
Darn, no shells.
Must've missed a
turn a ways back.
[sighing]
Tom?
What?
[bats chirping]
A few bats never hurt no one.
[bats screeching]
[screaming]
Becky, wait!
[grunting]
[bars rattling]
[Edoda yelling]
[yelling]
[speaking foreign language]
[Tom] Can't just sit there.
Shouldn't have let me come.
I'm just a silly girl.
I didn't say that.
It's what you're thinking.
Are you gonna get up?
[somber music]
[water dripping]
You're right, I
hate silly girls.
[crying softly]
[ominous music]
[sighing]
You're right.
We should've let the
grown ups handle this.
We're lost and it's my fault.
You left me.
Looking for a way out.
Are we gonna die?
Someone will turn up.
[crickets chirping]
[speaking foreign language]
[glass breaking]
[whistling]
[speaking foreign language]
[Polly] Oh I swear that child
will be the death of me.
I don't think she's lying.
A murderer on the loose.
[Man] All the more reason
to keep her out of harm's
way until we find this fella.
[Sheriff] I have a search
party on patrol, don't worry,
we'll find her.
[dramatic music]
[grunting]
[Huck] Tom, Tom!
Tom, Tom!
[fuse sizzling]
Get out of the house!
Tom, get out!
Dynamite, get out of the house!
[suspenseful music]
[explosion booming]
Tom, wake up, ya thick head!
[screaming]
What in the world happened here?
[Huck] I gotta get Tom!
The caves!
Stop!
[Huck] Tom's in the
caves looking for me!
Wait, where's Becky?
[Huck] In the caves
too, like as not!
[dramatic music]
[Becky] Do you think
about them much?
Don't remember them too well.
They both died in the war.
My Pa took a bullet.
And my Ma, she were a nurse
and got powerful sick.
I think about my
mama all the time.
Daddy doesn't talk
about her much.
Other than that she had
to leave to get better
and one day she'll be back.
Better from what?
I don't know.
I like to think that she's
traveling with the circus.
[kissing]
She'll be back one day.
Just wait and see.
[kissing]
[whimsical music]
What do you say we try and
find a way out of here?
On your feet, men,
let's move out.
Sir!
Now just one second!
Those caves have been
abandoned for years.
They could collapse at any time!
Sheriff,
it's my daughter in there.
[whimsical music]
Whoa.
[bats chirping]
Look.
They were here.
[rock clattering]
Don't look down.
[dramatic music]
[heavy panting]
[ominous music]
-[screaming]
-[skull clattering]
[speaking foreign language]
[dramatic music]
[speaking foreign language]
[suspenseful music]
[battle music]
Hey
Where's Huck?
Ho, hey
Where's Huck?
Good question.
Ho, hey
[grunting]
[energetic battle music]
[grunting]
Ha! You're a brave little girl.
[Becky grunting]
[rock clattering]
Who's this?
Becky Thatcher.
My daddy's gonna hang
you for what you've done.
[yelling in agony]
[grunting]
[Man] Don't even try kid!
Open that bag!
Pull out some sticks.
[Judge] Keep moving, men.
[dramatic music]
[wick sizzling]
[suspenseful music]
[explosion booming]
What the hell was that?
[coughing]
[coins ringing]
[treasure clanking]
[girls coughing]
[Huck] Tom, let's go!
[speaking foreign language]
[coughing]
Ain't worth killin' for!
[Huck] I was a little boy!
You took off and left me!
But Tom,
Tom is my friend!
[rocks clattering]
Huck, let's go!
-Go on.
-We need to go now!
[dramatic music]
Come on, we gotta go!
Edoda, come with us!
[dramatic music]
[treasure clattering]
[Tom] Come on!
[Tom yelling]
Hurry, this way!
[yelling]
-[crunching]
-[Edoda screaming]
[birds chirping]
[heavy breathing]
[panting]
The only way in is blocked.
There must be something
more you can do.
Get a team down here,
try to clear it out.
In the meantime, Sheriff,
you and your men,
you search every inch
of this hillside!
Look for another way in.
[somber music]
[crying softly]
[knocking]
[Polly] I'd be lying if I said
Thomasina wasn't a handful.
She tormented the
old heart out of me.
[laughing sadly]
She wasn't bad, so to say.
Just giddy and harem scarem.
Couldn't get her
to comb her hair
but she was mighty smart.
[somber music]
[sniffling]
She was just like her mother.
Mischievous.
Clever.
And the biggest-hearted
girl I ever did see.
[sniffling]
[coughing]
[Becky] Tom, Tom!
Tom, Tom, wake up!
Tom, please don't... Tom!
[sobbing] Tom...
Tom, wake up!
[sad music]
If I had it to do
over again I would...
[sobbing]
I would
hug her and tell her what
a comfort she was to me.
[sobbing]
Tom.
Tom, wake up.
Please wake up, please.
[gasping]
[coughing]
It's so hard.
I'm gonna get us out of here.
I promise.
Ho... hey
[energetic music]
Ho... hey
[sniffling]
[awe inspiring music]
[crying]
Tom?
You too, Rebecca.
[Judge] She's back!
Did you really mean all them
things you said up there?
Oh you were here the whole time?
I ought to tan you!
Sidney, don't tell me
you were crying too.
Tom.
Thanks for taking care
of my sister in there.
I missed you too, Alfred.
Huckleberry, come
here for a moment.
That was an awfully
courageous thing you did.
Weren't nothin', ma'am.
[chuckling softly]
[Polly squealing]
[Huck quietly grunting]
Huck and me are sorry
we didn't tell the
truth sooner, Muff.
You done right showing up,
Miss Tom, you done right.
Me and my family
will be thanking you
for the rest of our lives.
[folksy music]
Ho, hey
Ho, hey
[yelling]
[silverware clattering]
It ain't fair, Auntie,
everybody else gets to play.
Ho, hey
Hey... Ho
You two are heroes
and guests of honor,
your mommy and daddy
would be so proud, Tom!
And Huckleberry looks
like a proper gentleman.
[laughing]
Ho, hey
[folksy music]
Ho, hey
Hey, ho
Ho, hey
Hey, ho
Ho, hey
Ho, hey
Hey, ho
Ho, hey
Hey, ho
Huck?
Huck,
brought you some cake.
Huckleberry Finn, tell
me what's eating ya
or I'll lick ya so hard you
won't never leave this fort!
[stream water trickling]
[sighing]
I don't fit, Tom.
Too many blamed rules.
[sighing]
Wakin' up same
time every morning,
washing, combing.
It ain't for me.
Reckon I might take the
raft and head downriver.
See the world.
[Tom] Can't you try
a little longer?
I ain't gonna wear one of them
cussed ties as long as I--
[kissing]
[playful music]
Can't you ask her
to ease up a bit?
Let me swim when I want?
Maybe smoke a little tobacco?
I reckon I know how
to get around Auntie.
Tom, I gotta show you something.
Couldn't leave it all behind.
[coins clattering]
[laughing]
[energetic music]
We're rich, Tom!
Our little secret.
That's bully, Huck!
I'm gonna buy a house.
I'm gonna buy underwear!
[energetic music]
[mysterious music]
[ominous music]
[whimsical music]
