00:04 Welcome to Alaska, America's last frontier.
00:08 A land that for centuries has lifted its siren call to the bold and adventurous.
00:12 (gunshot)
00:13 He shot a fish. It was like a gangland execution.
00:17 This summer, acclaimed director John Sayles invites you to experience Limbo.
00:23 Look at this. You're all right where I left you six years ago.
00:26 Same bar stools and everything.
00:28 Boy, you've sung in a lot of places.
00:30 36 states and the territory of Puerto Rico.
00:33 Whoa.
00:34 I put my kid through a lot, though. Moving all the time.
00:38 You're the first guy that's ever asked me to come and watch fish thrash around and die.
00:42 I hate it when they're stranded out in the air and they have that desperate look on their face.
00:46 Well, they're drowning.
00:48 I'd make it.
00:50 This has been for us, like for so many people before, a land of opportunity.
00:54 We have this job for you.
00:56 We want you to go out.
00:58 To go out?
00:59 Go out and fish.
01:00 Jumping Joe Gastineau.
01:02 End of years?
01:03 Not exactly.
01:04 Mr. Dark and Moody killed two people.
01:07 Took them out on his fishing boat and they both drowned.
01:09 Joe, I gotta ask you a favor.
01:15 Need somebody to crew for me.
01:16 This will be fun, huh? It's like a nature thing.
01:19 Think of Alaska as one big theme park.
01:22 Listen, Joe, we got a problem.
01:24 What's going on?
01:25 It's complicated.
01:26 Whatever happens, follow me.
01:28 You think they killed him?
01:31 Yeah.
01:32 What are you buying when you get on a roller coaster?
01:34 The illusion of risk.
01:36 Being hurled to the edge of danger but knowing you'll never have to cross it.
01:40 We're gonna need to feed this a couple of times a day.
01:42 We hope that somebody sees this.
01:44 Somebody who doesn't want to kill us.
01:45 Well, nobody's gonna show up for a while if it keeps up like this.
01:54 Somebody lived here.
01:55 My diary.
01:57 Papa and Mother and I have come here to live in the great outdoors.
02:00 I expect it will be a hard life, but it should be a great adventure.
02:04 I kind of look forward to her being sick.
02:07 It's the only time she lets me hold her anymore.
02:09 You don't think we're gonna get rescued, do you?
02:12 Papa calls it limbo because it sure isn't heaven and it's too cold to be hell.
02:17 You can't always save people.
02:19 Limbo.
02:23 Rated R.
