she eats almost
continuously.
7

To survive the journey, she
must double her body weight.

Well into the 19th century,
47
00:03:02,057 --> 00:03:04,059
Americans celebrated
Christmas Day
48
00:03:05,352 --> 00:03:08,071
with contests to kill the
most birds in a single day.
49
00:03:08,522 --> 00:03:12,493
In 1900, Audubon Society
ornithologist Frank Chapman
50
00:03:12,567 --> 00:03:15,787
suggested Americans should
count them instead,
51
00:03:15,862 --> 00:03:20,163
leading eventually to the
creation of the Big Year,

00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:23,246

greatest number of birds

resulted in an astonishing

much fish guts on it?

BRAD: You okay?
346
00:18:29,025 --> 00:18:30,868
It's not easy

deemed the factors most essential
349
00:18:37,033 --> 00:18:38,660
to a successful Big Year.
350
00:18:38,743 --> 00:18:43,294
But happenstance and
instinct are just as vital.
351
00:18:43,372 --> 00:18:45,966
Hey, did you get a chance to see
that black-footed albatross?
352
00:18:46,167 --> 00:18:48,386
I sure did. Thanks.
353
00:18:48,502 --> 00:18:51,051
I'll leave you at peace.
354
00:18:51,797 --> 00:18:54,425
No, actually,
it helps to talk.
355
00:18:55,009 --> 00:18:56,807
But I wouldn't want you
to miss any birds.
356
00:18:56,886 --> 00:18:58,934
Ah! We're headed back.
357
00:18:59,013 --> 00:19:01,232
Besides, if there's anything
important, I'll know
358
00:19:01,307 --> 00:19:04,060
'cause I can
recognize them all by ear.
359
00:19:04,143 --> 00:19:05,144
No.
360
00:19:05,227 --> 00:19:06,820

That's Bostick
imitating a herring gull.
364
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:19,413
Splendid!
Great!
365
00:19:21,077 --> 00:19:24,627
Bostick. I have him
to thank for this.
366
00:19:24,955 --> 00:19:26,252
What do you mean?
367
00:19:26,332 --> 00:19:29,802
He psyched me out.
Made me seasick.
368
00:19:30,127 --> 00:19:32,505
I think he thinks
I'm doing a Big Year.
369
00:19:32,588 --> 00:19:34,511
That is hardcore.
370
00:19:35,216 --> 00:19:36,468
Are you doing
a Big Year?
371
00:19:36,550 --> 00:19:39,429
No. You?

KENNY: Come on,
let's speed it up!
373
00:19:45,726 --> 00:19:47,979
The lad inside says
there's a suitable hotel
374
00:19:48,062 --> 00:19:49,860
on the 101,
halfway to Mount Shasta.

Hotel? What, you think a snowy owl's
just gonna wait for us? Uh-uh.

can drive straight through. Chop, chop!

off the hotel in Savannah.

00:20:01,701 --> 00:20:04,830
And I can put you on a direct
flight, but it's $100 more.
380
00:20:05,162 --> 00:20:07,631
Better stay with
the two layovers then.
381
00:20:08,916 --> 00:20:10,543

wants to talk to you.

No. No, Mom. Mom, no.
BRENDA: Yeah. Oh!
383
00:20:12,670 --> 00:20:13,762
He's grabbing the phone!

00:20:13,838 --> 00:20:15,135
Yeah. He's grabbing
the phone!
385
00:20:15,214 --> 00:20:16,340
No, no, no.
Don't hand it to him.

Mom? Mom.
I don't want to talk to him. Yeah!
387
00:20:18,801 --> 00:20:20,223
Yeah!
388
00:20:20,594 --> 00:20:22,892
Where is our
world traveler today?
389
00:20:23,264 --> 00:20:25,392
Oregon.
Looking for seabirds.
390
00:20:25,474 --> 00:20:29,399
Oregon. I guess everybody
needs a vacation.
391

It's not a vacation, Dad.
392
00:20:31,689 --> 00:20:33,111
It's not work.
393
00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:36,660
Unless somebody's paying you to
stay in hotels and look at birds.
394
00:20:36,736 --> 00:20:39,535
Dad! Okay, okay, okay, you're right.
I'm sorry.
395
00:20:39,822 --> 00:20:43,417
I guess I'm just kind of confused
about what a vacation is.
396
00:20:43,826 --> 00:20:45,499
Okay, Dad, you know what?
I gotta run.

is very often
a matter of pure chance.
409

Unbelievable.
410
00:22:13,290 --> 00:22:15,918
This is the rarest bird
I've ever seen.
411
00:22:16,377 --> 00:22:18,926
It's like we were
meant to crash here.
412
00:22:19,004 --> 00:22:20,221
We were.
413
00:22:20,297 --> 00:22:23,426
NARRATOR: The reigning king has
survived a near-fatal crash,

only to stumble upon
a great spotted woodpecker,

a Code Four for him.
416
00:22:30,099 --> 00:22:34,400
There is no greater proof of the
righteousness of his crusade.
417
00:22:34,478 --> 00:22:37,402
All of a sudden your arm doesn't
feel so broke, does it?
418
00:22:37,481 --> 00:22:39,074
You could
chop my arm off.

00:22:45,614 --> 00:22:46,786
How bad could it be?

It's Paris.
How's it going there?

00:22:50,619 --> 00:22:53,247
Glorious! Dawn just broke.

Mmm. Green.
427
00:23:04,675 --> 00:23:05,722
What was that?
428
00:23:07,928 --> 00:23:09,020
I'm renovating.
429
00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:12,267
Again? I thought we just got
done redoing the whole house.
430

Uh-huh. But not the
upstairs and the kitchen.

Whoa, the kitchen?
432
00:23:15,436 --> 00:23:16,653
I thought we had
an agreement that
433
00:23:16,729 --> 00:23:18,322
we were gonna wait
on doing the kitchen.
434
00:23:18,397 --> 00:23:20,900
I thought you agreed to wait
to do another Big Year.
435

Jess, I've told you,
the birds wait for no man.
436

And neither do I.
437
00:23:25,321 --> 00:23:28,825
So I had to hire Frank Falucci,
seeing as you're so busy.
438
00:23:28,991 --> 00:23:33,246
You hired my competitor?
That's gonna drag on forever.
439
00:23:33,329 --> 00:23:34,876
No, 'cause I said to Frank
440
00:23:34,997 --> 00:23:36,795
that I'd give him a bonus
if he was done by April.
441
00:23:36,874 --> 00:23:37,921

00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,343
All right,
but, jeez, babe, please,

00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:40,795
you've got to
keep an eye on this.

You cannot
trust contractors.

I'm well aware, honey.
446
00:23:45,549 --> 00:23:48,268
Okay, so is it old man Frank
in charge of the job,
447
00:23:48,344 --> 00:23:51,723
or is it his kind of good-looking
son who's doing it?

He's not that good-looking.
Where are you, anyway?

I'm in Wyoming.
I got to bag a sage grouse.

Is it beautiful there?
No.

hear from us again.
472

Two days.
Then I'm done.

and then you migrate.

Weeks of sustained eating have
prepared her for the journey,

but nothing can prepare her
for bad weather.

Hello, stranger.
This is a rare sighting. Hi.

Yeah. What have you done
to our house?
505
00:26:53,278 --> 00:26:55,201
Do you like it so far?
So far?
506
00:26:55,489 --> 00:26:58,868
Please don't tell me there's more to come!
This is crazy!
507
00:26:59,076 --> 00:27:00,794
Are you trying to get my attention?
It worked.

00:27:00,869 --> 00:27:02,212
Is that the point
of all this?
509

I don't know. I don't know, Kenny.
What is the point?

I'm surprised to still see

that you didn't take
a sledgehammer to this.

Golf's just like a hobby.
516
00:27:19,721 --> 00:27:21,940
And the birding
is what exactly?
517
00:27:22,891 --> 00:27:26,486
I don't know, it's like a calling.
This is like my calling.
518
00:27:26,770 --> 00:27:27,817
Like Gandhi?
519
00:27:27,896 --> 00:27:32,527
No, come on. I'm not comparing
myself to Gandhi, okay?
520
00:27:32,734 --> 00:27:37,490
That's ridiculous. Okay?
It's more like I'm Mozart, I guess.
521
00:27:39,199 --> 00:27:42,999
Okay, fine. You got a calling.
I got a calling, too.
522
00:27:43,078 --> 00:27:44,625
It's known as a baby.
Yeah.
523
00:27:44,705 --> 00:27:48,676
I know. I like to think that that's
like another one of my callings, too.
524
00:27:48,750 --> 00:27:51,720
And you're gonna have to contribute,
you realize, eventually.
525
00:27:51,795 --> 00:27:53,047
I realize.
In person.
526
00:27:53,630 --> 00:27:57,100
Yes. In person.
I wouldn't want it any other way.
527
00:27:57,176 --> 00:28:00,225
Really? 'Cause I ain't
so sure, Wolfgang.
528
00:28:00,304 --> 00:28:03,057
Maybe I can
convince you.
529
00:28:07,436 --> 00:28:08,483
I didn't mean now.
530
00:28:08,562 --> 00:28:10,815
Come on. What's
the matter with now?
531
00:28:10,898 --> 00:28:13,026
'Cause we have a house
full of men.
532
00:28:13,108 --> 00:28:14,610
Just pretend
they're not there.
533
00:28:14,693 --> 00:28:15,785
(LOUD WHIRRING)
534
00:28:17,112 --> 00:28:19,991
Okay, pretend that we don't
care that they're there.
535
00:28:20,616 --> 00:28:21,617
I'm pretending.
536
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:23,373
WEATHERMAN ON TV: ...throughout
much of the Southwest,
537
00:28:23,452 --> 00:28:25,705
spreading all the way
into the Pacific Northwest.
538
00:28:25,787 --> 00:28:27,710
Now, for those of you
in the Southeast,
539
00:28:27,789 --> 00:28:30,292
Texas will be experiencing
high winds this morning,
540
00:28:30,375 --> 00:28:32,878
as this storm moves
very quickly south
541
00:28:32,961 --> 00:28:34,429
into the Gulf of Mexico.
542
00:28:34,504 --> 00:28:37,553
If you're planning to be
anywhere in the Gulf today,
543
00:28:37,633 --> 00:28:39,226
better batten down
the hatches.
544
00:28:39,301 --> 00:28:42,225
We are talking about a storm
that may last for 72 hours.
545
00:28:42,304 --> 00:28:43,897
Look at these waves,
these winds,
546
00:28:43,972 --> 00:28:45,645
and strong storms.
Fallout.
547
00:28:45,724 --> 00:28:48,773
We are talking hurricane-force winds.
Kenny.
548
00:28:49,770 --> 00:28:54,116
I know this is bad. I know this makes
me look like a world-class asshole,
549
00:28:54,191 --> 00:28:55,443
but, babe, I gotta go.
550
00:28:55,525 --> 00:28:57,994
Kenny! Kenny!
551
00:29:02,658 --> 00:29:03,784
Kenny!
552
00:29:03,867 --> 00:29:05,460
I'll call you!
553
00:29:16,922 --> 00:29:18,845
Bill? Don't say no.
I'm going to Texas.
554
00:29:18,924 --> 00:29:20,096
I'm getting on a plane
right now.
555
00:29:20,175 --> 00:29:21,802
Texas? You just got back.
556
00:29:22,010 --> 00:29:25,139
Bill! There is going to be
major fallout in a few hours.
557
00:29:25,222 --> 00:29:26,269
Nuclear fallout?
558
00:29:26,348 --> 00:29:27,770
Bird fallout.
559
00:29:28,517 --> 00:29:29,689
What are you
talking about?
560
00:29:29,768 --> 00:29:32,112
I'm talking about a major storm
hitting the Gulf of Mexico
561
00:29:32,187 --> 00:29:33,439
in the middle of
migration season.
562
00:29:33,522 --> 00:29:34,865
I'm talking about
headwinds and downpours
563
00:29:34,940 --> 00:29:37,693
and a hundred thousand birds
literally dropping from the sky!
564
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:40,912
I'll put it down
as a sick day.
565
00:29:42,364 --> 00:29:43,365
Stu.
Hey.
566
00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:44,950
Where you going?
Texas.
567
00:29:45,033 --> 00:29:48,754
Texas? Now? What about Mclntire?
How do we explain this?
568
00:29:49,746 --> 00:29:50,918
Act of God.
569
00:29:51,206 --> 00:29:54,881
Act of God? No! That's not gonna work!
Stop this car! Stop this car!
570
00:29:55,377 --> 00:29:57,254
Those damn birds!
571
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,306
NARRATOR: Sixteen hours have brought
Ruby within 20 miles of shore.
572
00:30:03,385 --> 00:30:06,104
But the tailwind that
carried her all this way
573
00:30:06,179 --> 00:30:09,774
is suddenly a headwind
blowing from the north.
574
00:30:09,850 --> 00:30:13,980
Now she must work twice as
hard to go half as far.
575
00:30:14,062 --> 00:30:18,568
The storm has knocked her from a
migrating altitude of 1,000 feet
576
00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:21,278
to a mere six feet.
577
00:30:21,361 --> 00:30:25,082
She can't swim.
One dip, and she's gone.
578
00:30:27,117 --> 00:30:30,291
The programmer arrives
on the outskirts of Houston,
579
00:30:30,370 --> 00:30:33,419
feeling for once that
luck is on his side.
580
00:30:33,498 --> 00:30:35,296
I'm starting to think
I have a chance.
581
00:30:35,625 --> 00:30:40,677
The roving CEO is also buoyant after
escaping his obligations in New York.
582
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,967
I really believe
I can win this thing.
583
00:30:43,133 --> 00:30:46,808
The reigning king, not surprisingly,
is extremely confident.
584
00:30:46,928 --> 00:30:50,273
Yes! Yes! I really think I've
got this thing locked up.
585
00:30:50,724 --> 00:30:52,567
All three have
done the math.
586
00:30:52,642 --> 00:30:55,646
They know what
spring fallout means.
587
00:30:55,729 --> 00:30:58,824
A world record is
within their grasp.
588
00:31:02,110 --> 00:31:03,532
(CLAMORING)
589
00:31:10,452 --> 00:31:11,453
Whoa!
590
00:31:13,955 --> 00:31:15,298
Unbelievable.
591
00:31:18,877 --> 00:31:20,049
Oh, my God.
592
00:31:31,390 --> 00:31:32,482
REPORTER:
Faced with that headwind,
593
00:31:32,557 --> 00:31:34,559
they have to come down
at the first land they see,
594
00:31:34,643 --> 00:31:36,896
and that's right here.
595
00:31:36,978 --> 00:31:38,230
One thing's for sure,
596
00:31:38,313 --> 00:31:42,284
today's happening is strictly
for the birds. Gretchen.
597
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:44,486
Come on, guys, get...
Keep it moving!
598
00:31:44,569 --> 00:31:46,321
Come on, we got
a lot of birds to see.
599
00:31:46,405 --> 00:31:50,410
Bloody ass. Only Americans can
turn birding into a competition!
600
00:31:50,492 --> 00:31:53,120
That's right.
You don't want to miss this one!
601
00:31:53,203 --> 00:31:54,329
What?
602
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:09,094
Brad!
Stu!
603
00:32:09,177 --> 00:32:10,645
I knew you'd be here.
I was looking for you.
604
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,814
Me, too.
This is incredible, isn't it'?
605
00:32:12,889 --> 00:32:14,516
I know.
Where do we even start?
606
00:32:17,978 --> 00:32:21,482
There's the best birder in the world.
Maybe we should...
607
00:32:22,023 --> 00:32:23,491
Follow him.
608
00:32:23,567 --> 00:32:25,444
(LET IT SHINE PLAYING)
609
00:32:30,031 --> 00:32:31,032
(INAUDIBLE)
610
00:32:37,914 --> 00:32:39,040
STU:
Prothonotary warbler.
611
00:32:39,124 --> 00:32:40,216
(EXCLAIMING EXCITEDLY)
612
00:32:44,379 --> 00:32:45,801
Gotcha.
613
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:50,519
Oh! Blue grosbeak.
614
00:32:50,594 --> 00:32:51,846
It's a buffet.
615
00:32:52,012 --> 00:32:54,265
(SINGING) So I play what
the kids wanna hear
616
00:32:54,347 --> 00:32:56,270
While I spange on Broadway
617
00:32:56,349 --> 00:32:58,818
Shine, let it shine
618
00:32:58,894 --> 00:33:01,989
Even if it burns your eyes
619
00:33:02,063 --> 00:33:04,282
This light of mine is mine
620
00:33:04,357 --> 00:33:06,735
And I'm gonna
let it shine...
621
00:33:07,068 --> 00:33:08,945
Ever get the feeling
you're being followed?
622
00:33:09,571 --> 00:33:10,663
Hello, master.
623
00:33:10,739 --> 00:33:11,740
How you doing, Stu?
624
00:33:11,907 --> 00:33:13,830
Still filling
those weekends, I see.
625
00:33:13,909 --> 00:33:15,911
Unless you and your son here
are doing a Big Year.
626
00:33:16,203 --> 00:33:21,380
(CHUCKLES) Oh! Kenny Bostick,
this is my friend Brad Harris.
627
00:33:21,458 --> 00:33:23,005
Who's also not doing
a Big Year.
628
00:33:23,251 --> 00:33:25,754
That's funny how
nobody's doing a Big Year.
629
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:28,090
Yeah. With all this
fallout and El Niño.
630
00:33:28,173 --> 00:33:31,302
Yeah, I know, you'd think the
conditions are just set up perfect
631
00:33:31,384 --> 00:33:33,478
for someone to have a real
shot at breaking my record.
632
00:33:33,762 --> 00:33:35,810
Not that record.
Pink-footed goose!
633
00:33:36,181 --> 00:33:38,024
Pink-footed goose,
other end of the boardwalk.
634
00:33:38,808 --> 00:33:40,560
What the hell's
that doing here?
635
00:33:40,644 --> 00:33:41,691
MAN: Be careful!
636
00:33:47,275 --> 00:33:48,902
Hey, put her down!
637
00:33:50,111 --> 00:33:52,614
Hey, hey, please,
let the explorers through!
638
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,039
Of course.
Let's go, ladies. Jeesh.
639
00:33:56,284 --> 00:33:57,331
After you, kids.
640
00:33:57,619 --> 00:33:58,836
Get those badges.
641
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,168
Chop, chop, chop, chop!
Step it up! Stepping lively!
642
00:34:02,624 --> 00:34:04,046
Move it along!
643
00:34:04,292 --> 00:34:05,293
Thank you.
644
00:34:13,593 --> 00:34:16,642
She took off. Headed north.
Probably be in Iceland by Friday.
645
00:34:16,721 --> 00:34:18,769
Boy, she was a beaut, too!
646
00:34:19,641 --> 00:34:21,518
Hey, is that a Calliope?
647
00:34:23,895 --> 00:34:26,068
Just another
ruby-throated.
648
00:34:26,147 --> 00:34:28,149
On everybody's list
by March.
649
00:34:28,733 --> 00:34:30,986
Sorry to disappoint
you boys again.
650
00:34:33,697 --> 00:34:38,703
NARRATOR: Not just another
ruby-throated, but our ruby.
651
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:44,212
Drenched and diminished, frail
and trembling, but alive.
652
00:34:44,499 --> 00:34:47,548
Alive! Alive!
653
00:34:53,341 --> 00:34:56,515
Good evening. Tonight's special is quail.
I highly recommend it.
654
00:34:58,638 --> 00:34:59,639
I couldn't.
655
00:34:59,723 --> 00:35:00,815
Yeah, not tonight.
656
00:35:00,890 --> 00:35:03,018
I'll have the halibut.
657
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:05,149
And a bottle of
this Montrachet.
658
00:35:05,228 --> 00:35:06,320
Of course.
659
00:35:06,396 --> 00:35:09,525
And I will have the soup.
Thank you.
660
00:35:12,068 --> 00:35:15,288
Really? After being outside
all day in the wind and rain?
661
00:35:16,072 --> 00:35:17,369
Kind of a light eater.
662
00:35:18,658 --> 00:35:19,705
And the truth is
663
00:35:20,327 --> 00:35:22,705
the prices here are a little
steeper than I'm used to.
664
00:35:23,204 --> 00:35:26,629
Brad, I invited you to dinner.
I know, but...
665
00:35:26,708 --> 00:35:28,631
No, it's my pleasure.
666
00:35:28,710 --> 00:35:32,340
Look, when I'm birding, I don't
fly first class or hire guides.
667
00:35:32,422 --> 00:35:35,551
It's too much like corked
bats and steroids to me.
668
00:35:36,301 --> 00:35:39,555
But tonight
we're celebrating.
669
00:35:39,638 --> 00:35:43,359
We saw 136 species!
670
00:35:43,892 --> 00:35:45,860
Brad, 136!
671
00:35:45,935 --> 00:35:47,027
Here's to them.
672
00:35:47,354 --> 00:35:48,606
And to the one
who got away.
673
00:35:48,730 --> 00:35:49,822
Pink-footed goose.
674
00:35:52,108 --> 00:35:53,280
The Montrachet.
675
00:35:54,444 --> 00:35:57,163
Good. And my friend would like
to see the menu again, please.
676
00:35:57,238 --> 00:35:58,740
WAITER: Of course.
677
00:35:59,658 --> 00:36:00,910
Cool.
678
00:36:00,992 --> 00:36:04,917
That shrimp scampi was calling
my name, if you must know.
679
00:36:04,996 --> 00:36:06,839
That's a little too much.
Okay.
680
00:36:06,915 --> 00:36:10,510
NARRATOR: In the afterglow
of their extraordinary day,
681
00:36:10,585 --> 00:36:15,216
the programmer and the roving
CEO forge a warm friendship
682
00:36:15,298 --> 00:36:18,222
deeply rooted in
their shared passion.
683
00:36:19,302 --> 00:36:21,100
I mean, I'm 36.
684
00:36:21,721 --> 00:36:22,973
I'm divorced.
685
00:36:23,264 --> 00:36:25,392
I have a job I hate.
686
00:36:25,767 --> 00:36:29,112
I just want to do something big, you know?
Make my mark.
687
00:36:29,479 --> 00:36:30,731
So what are you gonna do?
688
00:36:31,773 --> 00:36:34,697
I'm working on something.
(EXCLAIMS DISMISSIVELY)
689
00:36:36,111 --> 00:36:37,488
My dad doesn't get it.
690
00:36:37,570 --> 00:36:40,244
He's had the same
boring job for 40 years.
691
00:36:40,907 --> 00:36:43,501
"That's what people do,"
he says.
692
00:36:43,576 --> 00:36:45,294
He's right.
693
00:36:45,787 --> 00:36:49,212
Most people just stay on the
beaten path, then one day,
694
00:36:49,290 --> 00:36:51,964
they wake up and realize they didn't
do everything they wanted to do.
695
00:36:52,460 --> 00:36:54,963
Look at me.
I was so afraid to retire,
696
00:36:55,046 --> 00:36:57,140
I had to do it twice before
I finally got out here.
697
00:36:57,465 --> 00:36:58,591
Why'd you wait so long?
698
00:36:58,675 --> 00:37:00,598
'Cause I'm an idiot.
699
00:37:01,636 --> 00:37:03,513
Okay, I gotta tell you.
700
00:37:04,889 --> 00:37:06,232
I'm doing a Big Year.
701
00:37:10,937 --> 00:37:12,029
Wow.
702
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:13,732
I know.
703
00:37:14,190 --> 00:37:17,239
NARRATOR: The retired
CEO faces a dilemma.
704
00:37:17,318 --> 00:37:20,788
He feels true kinship
with the programmer.
705
00:37:20,864 --> 00:37:23,492
Should he divulge
his own Big Year?
706
00:37:24,492 --> 00:37:25,835
Don't tell anybody, okay?
707
00:37:27,579 --> 00:37:30,924
But with the exception of
certain pernicious bacteria,
708
00:37:30,999 --> 00:37:35,880
Homo sapiens is the most
competitive species on Earth.
709
00:37:36,504 --> 00:37:38,177
Mum's the word.
710
00:37:39,007 --> 00:37:40,099
We won't have
to eat for a week.
711
00:37:40,175 --> 00:37:41,267
I'm hurting.
712
00:37:42,385 --> 00:37:43,978
Great dinner.
713
00:37:49,017 --> 00:37:50,189
Good luck.
714
00:37:50,310 --> 00:37:51,778
Thanks again.
715
00:37:53,104 --> 00:37:54,526
Hey, it's me,
716
00:37:54,814 --> 00:37:56,361
Mozart.
717
00:37:56,941 --> 00:37:58,989
The fallout's over
and now I'm calling
718
00:37:59,068 --> 00:38:01,196
to deal with the fallout
from the fallout.
719
00:38:01,863 --> 00:38:05,037
Look, babe, I'm sorry.
I'm gonna make it up to you, you'll see.
720
00:38:05,450 --> 00:38:06,667
I'm going to...
721
00:38:06,743 --> 00:38:08,370
Where are you, anyway?
It's late there.
722
00:38:08,495 --> 00:38:10,088
I hope you're okay, babe.
Oh! Where am I?
723
00:38:10,163 --> 00:38:14,669
I'm shooting hormones into my butt
so I can have your baby, Kenny.
724
00:38:15,043 --> 00:38:17,512
Okay, I'm going to
hit the sack here,
725
00:38:17,587 --> 00:38:19,134
but I will try you
in the morning,
726
00:38:19,214 --> 00:38:20,716
and I'm gonna be
launching a new thing
727
00:38:20,799 --> 00:38:22,676
called Operation
Sweep Her Off Her Feet.
728
00:38:23,218 --> 00:38:24,686
So, you might
want to get ready,
729
00:38:24,761 --> 00:38:26,559
'cause it's gonna be
pretty spectacular.
730
00:38:27,055 --> 00:38:29,979
Okay? All right.
Talk to you tomorrow.
731
00:38:35,396 --> 00:38:37,899
Pomarine jaeger,
nine o'clock!
732
00:38:48,576 --> 00:38:50,044
Brad.
733
00:38:51,079 --> 00:38:53,002
Brad!
No.
734
00:38:53,081 --> 00:38:54,549
Oh! Sorry.
Sorry.
735

Feel like I led him on.

But I'm afraid if he
knew about my Big Year,
743
00:39:42,463 --> 00:39:44,306
Bostick'd get it
out of him eventually.
744
00:39:44,507 --> 00:39:47,511
And why is it so important to
keep this secret from Bostick?
745
00:39:47,594 --> 00:39:49,016
Less competition
he thinks he has,
746
00:39:49,095 --> 00:39:52,690
the more he's likely to
throttle back, not try so hard.
747
00:39:53,224 --> 00:39:54,897
Not grind for
the extra birds.
748
00:39:54,976 --> 00:39:56,649
Maybe I could
sneak past him.
749

Do whatever it takes
to set that record, honey.
750

it means to me.

I miss you, doll.

What are you doing
this weekend?

00:40:06,279 --> 00:40:09,624
I could get us a room in Saint Paul,

Not far from the bog.

Hey, Jim.
764
00:40:30,345 --> 00:40:32,188
Yeah, listen,

Deal was dead

Total acrimony.
On the way out the door,
767
00:40:37,018 --> 00:40:40,693
we agreed to a do-or-die
session, May 14th,
768
00:40:40,939 --> 00:40:42,441
here in New York
in our office.
769
00:40:42,523 --> 00:40:43,991
I can't. Impossible.
770
00:40:44,359 --> 00:40:45,736
I'm flying to Attu
on the 14th.
771

To where?
772
00:40:47,070 --> 00:40:49,243
Attu, Alaska.
And I can't miss the flight.
773
00:40:49,322 --> 00:40:50,699
There's not another one
for a week.
774
00:40:50,907 --> 00:40:52,784
Stu, you're not involved,
the deal dies.
775
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,210
Look, you gave these
people their jobs.
776
00:40:54,285 --> 00:40:55,878
If you don't do something,
they're gonna lose them!
777
00:40:55,954 --> 00:40:59,003
And that means a hell of a lot
more than some birds on Attu.

NARRATOR: Attu. The westernmost
island of the Aleutian chain.
779

So far west, it's closer to
Tokyo than to Anchorage.

00:41:10,301 --> 00:41:12,599
There are no hotels,
no phones,

00:41:12,679 --> 00:41:15,432
no restaurants
or permanent residents.
782
00:41:16,057 --> 00:41:19,732
But for birders,
Attu is paradise.
783
00:41:20,436 --> 00:41:25,738
Nobody could hope to win a Big Year
without going to Attu in May.

Stop packing.
I'm serious! Mom!
789
00:41:40,665 --> 00:41:42,667
Are you upset because
you think you can't win,
790
00:41:42,750 --> 00:41:44,002
or because
he lied to you?
791
00:41:44,085 --> 00:41:46,258
Both.
And what about Bostick?
792
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:47,505
Who?
793
00:41:47,588 --> 00:41:49,340
Kenny Bostick, the best
birder in the world.
794
00:41:49,424 --> 00:41:51,847
I think he might be
doing another Big Year.
795
00:41:51,926 --> 00:41:53,143
What chance do I have?
796
00:41:53,219 --> 00:41:57,599
Oh, Brad, you have 486 birds.
You're on a record pace.

You can't quit now!

Mom, my credit card is maxed out.
No. No. No. No.

Even if I go to Alaska, there's
no way I can complete the year!
800
00:42:06,482 --> 00:42:08,610
This has 8 $6,000 limit.
801
00:42:09,027 --> 00:42:10,904
Bring me back
some Alaska pictures.
802
00:42:10,987 --> 00:42:12,580
No, Mom, I can't.
No, no, no, no.
803
00:42:12,655 --> 00:42:14,783
Get dressed.
Your plane leaves in an hour.
804
00:42:15,241 --> 00:42:16,914
Don't piss off
your travel agent.
805
00:42:19,454 --> 00:42:21,206
I had no idea this car
could go this fast.
806
00:42:21,289 --> 00:42:22,882
If you miss this plane,
807
00:42:22,957 --> 00:42:24,300
there's not another
one for a week.
808
00:42:24,375 --> 00:42:26,298
So, we gotta do it.
809
00:42:27,128 --> 00:42:29,005
Mom, Mom, Mom!

Welcome back, Mr. Preissler!
Thank you.

being here, Stu.

JIM: How was your trip?
815
00:42:47,190 --> 00:42:48,658
Louisiana was spectacular.
816
00:42:48,733 --> 00:42:50,110
Lot of birds
in the bayou.
817
00:42:50,193 --> 00:42:53,538
And saw a loggerhead shrike from
my hotel room in Natchitoches.
818
00:42:53,654 --> 00:42:54,780
Adorable!
819
00:42:54,864 --> 00:42:57,037
It imitates the songs of other
birds to lure them in close.
820
00:42:57,116 --> 00:42:58,083
Uh-huh.
821
00:42:58,159 --> 00:43:00,582
Then it impales them on thorns,
breaks their necks and eats them.
822
00:43:00,787 --> 00:43:02,004
Yeesh!
823
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,583
STU: We'll assume the cost
of retrofitting the plants,
824
00:43:04,665 --> 00:43:06,292
but that still leaves
the non-compete clause.
825
00:43:06,375 --> 00:43:07,718
Barry says you have
an issue with it.
826

No. It's not a big issue,
but I'm not like you, Stu.

spend the rest of my life bird watching.

(MEN LAUGHING)
829
00:43:18,721 --> 00:43:20,974
It's called
"birding," Rick.
830
00:43:21,516 --> 00:43:23,109
And there's no
wiggle room here.
831
00:43:23,184 --> 00:43:25,278
This is a deal-breaker
for us.
832
00:43:26,479 --> 00:43:27,947
Wait, what?
Wait, wait, wait.
833
00:43:28,689 --> 00:43:31,784
Four hours ago, you said that
everything was negotiable.
834
00:43:31,859 --> 00:43:34,658
What, was this just so you could
lure me in to finish me off?
835
00:43:39,617 --> 00:43:41,119
The shrike.

All right. Stu! Just wait, one
second, please. One second.
839
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,884
Let me talk to my people.
Just give me five minutes. Okay?

WOW!
850
00:44:50,188 --> 00:44:51,781
Okay, now, Karen, you're
not a birder, are you?
851
00:44:52,231 --> 00:44:55,155
No. No, I'm just
along for the ride.
852
00:44:55,234 --> 00:44:56,861
Honeymoon on Attu.
853
00:44:56,944 --> 00:44:59,163
That should be
unforgettable.

01:35:43,571 --> 01:35:45,869
We won, Stu!
I don't know how else to put it.
1708
01:35:46,491 --> 01:35:48,585
I don't just mean I wouldn't have
come in second without you.
1709
01:35:48,660 --> 01:35:49,957
Although that's true
1710
01:35:50,036 --> 01:35:56,043
I mean, I don't know, he got more
birds, but we got more everything.
1711
01:35:57,377 --> 01:35:58,424
Do you know
what I mean?
1712
01:36:02,173 --> 01:36:03,174
Yeah, I do.
1713
01:36:04,217 --> 01:36:07,266
Thank you, Stu.
Have I said thank you?
1714
01:36:07,595 --> 01:36:09,063
Hey, for what?
1715
01:36:10,098 --> 01:36:11,816
Congrats.
Take care, buddy.
1716
01:36:14,852 --> 01:36:15,853
Yep.
1717
01:36:16,729 --> 01:36:18,652
Looks like you'll be
spending the weekend
1718
01:36:18,731 --> 01:36:20,859
with the second best
birder in the world.
1719
01:36:22,277 --> 01:36:24,120
(SQUEALING EXCITEDLY)
1720
01:36:35,415 --> 01:36:36,541
Bostick!
1721
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:38,547
(SNICKERING)
1722
01:36:38,876 --> 01:36:42,346
NARRATOR: Eight weeks later,
the ruby-throated hummingbird
1723
01:36:42,422 --> 01:36:45,471
begins her migration
all over again.
1724
01:36:46,217 --> 01:36:49,596
She hopes
it will be uneventful.
1725
01:36:51,806 --> 01:36:53,228
High in the Rockies,
1726
01:36:53,308 --> 01:36:57,404
the retired CEO goes birding
with the future CEO,
1727
01:36:57,478 --> 01:37:00,448
who happily does not
yet know how to count.
1728
01:37:00,857 --> 01:37:02,279
That's a male goldfinch.
1729
01:37:02,358 --> 01:37:05,077
In a couple of months,
it's gonna turn all yellow.
1730
01:37:06,321 --> 01:37:11,077
To celebrate his victory, the
reigning king goes to China.
1731
01:37:13,244 --> 01:37:14,712
(INAUDIBLE)
1732
01:37:17,248 --> 01:37:20,969
Only he knows the price
that he has paid
1733
01:37:21,044 --> 01:37:24,218
to be the greatest birder
in the world.
1734
01:37:27,425 --> 01:37:31,601
The North American programmer
travels to the coast of Maine.
1735
01:37:32,430 --> 01:37:38,688
Though still an avid birder, he at
last has an even greater passion.
1736
01:37:44,275 --> 01:37:48,030
(THIS COULD ALL BE YOURS
PLAYING)
1737
01:37:55,828 --> 01:37:59,799
There's a message in the
skies and in the streets
1738
01:37:59,874 --> 01:38:03,720
Opportunity,
the American-y dream
1739
01:38:03,795 --> 01:38:06,548
It's in the radio
It's superstars
1740
01:38:06,631 --> 01:38:10,556
The arteries and veins
that feed your heart
1741
01:38:12,136 --> 01:38:16,061
From the Dairy Queen
to the head of the parade
1742
01:38:16,140 --> 01:38:19,485
In a blink your
life could change
1743
01:38:20,937 --> 01:38:25,937
This could all
be yours someday
1744
01:38:33,324 --> 01:38:38,501
This could all be yours
Be yours someday
1745
01:38:40,498 --> 01:38:42,500
Someday
1746
01:38:44,502 --> 01:38:46,379
Someday
1747
01:38:48,506 --> 01:38:50,554
Someday
1748
01:39:00,643 --> 01:39:04,614
You come as Elvis Presley
every Halloween
1749
01:39:04,689 --> 01:39:08,569
And dream of sing-alongs
the whole wide world will sing
1750
01:39:08,651 --> 01:39:11,575
Into the great unknown,
Horatio
1751
01:39:11,654 --> 01:39:16,581
Desire and ambition
fuel this heart
1752
01:39:17,452 --> 01:39:21,082
So take a breath
and step into the light
1753
01:39:21,164 --> 01:39:25,214
Everything will be
all right
1754
01:39:26,043 --> 01:39:31,043
This could all
be yours someday
1755
01:39:38,306 --> 01:39:43,028
This could all be yours
All yours someday
1756
01:39:45,396 --> 01:39:47,398
Someday
1757
01:39:49,525 --> 01:39:51,493
Someday
1758
01:39:53,738 --> 01:39:55,536
Someday
1759
01:40:31,108 --> 01:40:36,108
This could all
be yours someday
1760
01:40:55,633 --> 01:41:01,982
This could all be yours
All yours someday
1761
01:41:02,848 --> 01:41:07,848
Someday
1762
01:43:06,847 --> 01:43:07,848
