:45:02
that I guess I was either gonna die
from it or break free of it.
:45:07
But nothing, nothing, Iris,
could get me from... to stop drinking.
:45:11
Nothing! I went to programs.
I tried quitting myself.
:45:15
I did everything that I could
to try not to drink,
:45:19
and then I did everything
I could to drink.
:45:21
And... And it was killing me
:45:24
until I discovered
this land of bears
:45:27
and realized that they were in
such great danger
:45:30
that they needed a caretaker, they needed
someone to look after them.
:45:34
But not a drunk person.
Not a person messed up.
:45:36
So I promised the bears
that if I would look over them,
:45:40
would they please help me
be a better person and
:45:45
they've become so inspirational,
:45:48
and living with the foxes too,
:45:51
that I did, I gave up the drinking.
:45:53
It was a miracle.
It was an absolute miracle.
:45:55
And the miracle was animals.
The miracle was animals.
:46:03
I live here. It's very dangerous.
It's really dangerous.
:46:07
I run wild with the bears.
I run so wild, so free,
:46:10
so like a child
with these animals.
:46:14
It's really cool.
And it's very serious.
:46:19
I'm here alone,
and when you're all alone
:46:22
you do get... you get lonely.
:46:24
Oh, duhl Right?
You get pretty lonely.
:46:32
Oh, no. I'm gonna do all this stuff because
I'm supposed to be alone.
:46:36
Oh. Okay.
:46:40
Part of the mythical character
:46:42
Treadwell was transforming
himself into
:46:45
required him to be seen
as being completely alone.
:46:49
He was mostly alone,
but he did spend time with women
:46:53
who will here
remain anonymous.
:46:56
The truth is that
Amie Huguenard
:46:58
accompanied him for parts
of his last two summers.
