:59:01
And I'll tell you something.
If Saturn was a female human...
:59:04
I can just see how beautiful
she is as a bear.
:59:07
I've always called her the Michelle Pfeiffer
of bears out here.
:59:13
All right, you lay there.
I'm gonna go off with your girlfriend.
:59:15
Don't beat me up over it.
:59:17
I'm cool, I'm cool. I'm respectful.
:59:20
Things are bad for me
with the human women,
:59:23
but not so bad that I have
to be hitting on bears yet.
:59:25
Okay? Okay.
:59:30
In his diaries,
:59:32
Treadwell speaks often of the human world
as something foreign.
:59:37
He made a clear distinction between
the bears and the people's world
:59:41
which moved further and further
into the distance.
:59:46
Wild, primordial nature was
where he felt truly at home.
:59:55
We explored the glacier in the back country
of his Grizzly Sanctuary.
1:00:01
This gigantic complexity
of tumbling ice and abysses
1:00:05
separated Treadwell
from the world out there.
1:00:08
And more so, it seems to me
that this landscape in turmoil
1:00:13
is a metaphor of his soul.
1:00:27
Off there in the distance
is his bay and his campsite
1:00:31
where he battled his demons.
1:00:35
What drove Timothy
into the wild?
1:00:39
We visited his parents
in Florida.
1:00:44
Timothy grew up with
four siblings in Long Island
1:00:48
in a solid middle-class family
1:00:50
where the father worked as the foreman
of a construction team
1:00:54
for a telephone company.
1:00:56
There must have been
an urge to escape
1:00:59
the safety of
his protected environment.
