00:01:24 "Take It To The Limit"?
00:01:28 Artist and year?
00:01:33 1975. The Eagles, of course.
00:02:14 That's not a song. It's ridiculous.
00:02:17 That is definitely a song.
00:02:25 You give up?
00:02:26 On belay.
00:02:29 "MacArthur Park." Richard Harris.
00:02:33 1968? I didn't even think they had
00:02:38 Excuse me. I have a signed album
00:02:41 It was cutting-edge stuff back then.
00:02:44 Peter, check your sister's belay.
00:02:46 Want to tell him we're not 15?
00:02:48 Why bother? We'll always be 15.
00:02:51 Dad, she needs a second cam.
00:02:53 That won't hold in a fall.
00:02:56 Screw you.
00:02:57 Listen, Annie.
00:02:58 No matter how experienced...
00:03:00 ...a smart climber always wears a belt
00:03:03 Two cams are safe, three's better.
00:03:06 I'm not kidding. We're not moving
00:03:10 I have three cams.
00:03:13 Watch out!
00:03:18 Amateurs at twelve o'clock!
00:03:48 Too much weight!
00:03:53 Hold it together, you two!
00:03:55 Now get a grip.
00:03:57 We're getting out of this.
00:03:59 Annie, how close to the wall are we?
00:04:04 Keep still, goddamn it!
00:04:10 Dad!
00:04:24 Both of you...
00:04:26 ...keep very still.
00:04:28 Try and stay calm.
00:04:30 Annie.
00:04:33 Is the other cam moving?
00:04:34 No.
00:04:36 Try and reach the wall.
00:04:38 See if you can anchor us back in.
00:04:41 Try it.
00:05:13 It's moving!
00:05:17 Peter, get your knife.
00:05:18 What?
00:05:19 Just do as I say.
00:05:21 Get it!
00:05:23 You don't have much time here.
00:05:26 You have to do something for me.
00:05:29 Cut me loose.
00:05:31 One cam can't hold us all.
00:05:33 You have to cut me loose...
00:05:36 ...or else I'll pull everybody down.
00:05:39 Shut up, Annie!
00:05:40 It's one dead or three, Peter.
00:05:43 Don't make him do this.
00:05:44 You're gonna kill your sister.
00:05:47 Annie will die if you don't.
00:05:48 - I won't do it!
00:05:50 - I can't!
00:05:52 That cam is gonna come out
00:05:55 - You'll kill your sister!
00:05:58 Cut the damn rope!
00:06:01 It doesn't matter about me. Cut it.
00:06:03 We're out of time!
00:06:04 Don't do it!
00:06:06 No one will blame you for it!
00:06:10 Annie and you are gonna die!
00:08:50 We're cleared for the Siachen glacier.
00:08:54 I was heading there anyway.
00:08:57 I can drop you on my way back
00:08:59 Sounds good.
00:09:12 I tried to visit you a few days ago.
00:09:14 But the weather closed in.
00:09:16 Annie's at base camp.
00:10:06 Would you like a tea?
00:10:07 No, I'm fine.
00:10:09 You must try the tea. It's very good.
00:10:13 We may be at war with them,
00:10:37 - Forgive me. Mr. Garrett, isn't it?
00:10:40 National Geographic is always welcome.
00:10:42 The only Westerners who come to
00:10:47 The colonel's angry. Only 25% of his
00:10:50 And three days late.
00:10:53 In six years, I've lost 800 men.
00:10:57 But the chopper was full of stuff.
00:10:59 Not for my men.
00:11:01 For Americans who can pay $3 million for
00:11:05 Elliot Vaughn, the entrepreneur.
00:11:06 He's got 40 people with him to try K2.
00:11:11 Seconded or sold?
00:11:16 That's a question only a general
00:11:22 Three o'clock.
00:11:40 So Annie's coming in
00:11:43 She's leading a WNN documentary crew.
00:11:45 They're going up the mountain
00:11:48 Have you seen her?
00:11:50 Not yet. One of the guides told me.
00:11:55 What about Vaughn?
00:11:57 Pretty much what you'd expect.
00:12:02 Your typical billionaire.
00:12:05 Four years ago his team took
00:12:08 Was 800 feet from the top
00:12:11 Twenty-four hours in the death zone.
00:12:14 Next morning, he walked down.
00:13:00 - Got your update, Annie.
00:13:03 That cyclone's tracking fast
00:13:06 Let me know if anything changes.
00:13:35 What are you..?
00:13:39 I just happened to be in the area.
00:13:45 I heard WNN hired you. And you're
00:13:50 They needed someone who could climb K2
00:13:54 Not much of a rush.
00:13:56 That's not true. They wanted the best.
00:14:00 I read about you on the Eiger.
00:14:06 Dad would be proud.
00:14:24 When you leaving?
00:14:25 Early tomorrow morning. We want to
00:14:30 What does the mountain say about that?
00:14:33 I thought you laid siege to it.
00:14:37 I didn't know it could be scheduled.
00:14:39 It's a plan, Peter, that's all.
00:14:42 Vaughn's aggressive. He knows what he
00:14:45 I admire him.
00:14:48 How long have you known him?
00:14:51 Wherever you're going with this,
00:14:54 Nobody ever affects my climbing.
00:16:05 Was that two of them, Cyril?
00:16:08 Or has this stuff just gotten
00:16:41 - Frank.
00:16:44 - Tommy McLaren. Colorado Kid.
00:16:46 You lead, I'll follow.
00:16:48 There's my leading lady. Hi, Annie.
00:16:50 - How was your trip?
00:16:53 Luckily I passed on the eggs Benedict.
00:16:57 Excuse me for a minute.
00:17:00 Ed Viesturs.
00:17:03 - Elliot Vaughn.
00:17:05 This guy has been up Everest five times.
00:17:08 He's climbed 12 of the world's
00:17:12 All without oxygen.
00:17:14 Rock on. By comparison, all of us
00:17:18 - It's a real honor, Ed.
00:17:21 Thank you.
00:17:32 Outdoors magazine wants
00:17:35 "Bankruptcy at High Altitude."
00:17:38 How much can we...
00:17:43 Yes?
00:17:47 I could go and come back, or...
00:17:56 Looking for Skip?
00:17:58 Yeah.
00:18:01 Try the command tent.
00:18:03 Thanks.
00:18:13 Skip?
00:18:15 I'm Peter Garrett.
00:18:17 - Good to meet you.
00:18:19 I got your message.
00:18:22 I've got four you can meet tomorrow.
00:18:26 The Swedish hooker's taking longer
00:18:29 There's no shortage of entertainment.
00:18:33 He's hard to miss. What's this
00:18:39 - Friend of yours?
00:18:43 Annie Garrett.
00:18:46 Vaughn's got this publicity stunt
00:18:50 He stands on the top of K2 waving
00:18:56 Are you serious?
00:18:57 I'm deadly serious.
00:18:59 Your sister's safe. No one knows
00:19:04 He told Vaughn they'd get up there.
00:19:06 I'd have told him anything
00:19:10 Is that what he's spending?
00:19:11 That's just for Tom. Bought his
00:19:15 Not that I'm pissed off.
00:19:20 56-year-old movie producer
00:19:24 He's got the runs, mate. Permanently.
00:19:27 The Bench brothers bet
00:19:32 - What do you think?
00:19:34 It depends. I'm so broke I might have
00:19:39 This is Monique, our base camp manager
00:19:43 We've met. You should look at these.
00:19:48 Don't mind her. She's French-Canadian.
00:19:51 Some days she's Canadian
00:19:55 Today, she's obviously French.
00:20:19 How about some Spanish mackerel
00:20:23 My name's Cyril. I'm not much,
00:20:27 Watch out for him, he's like a dog.
00:20:30 ...he tries to shag it. If he can't
00:20:34 If he can't eat it, he pisses on it.
00:20:36 It's easy to tell us apart,
00:20:40 No, no, no, señorita.
00:20:48 Here you go.
00:20:51 What time's the laser show?
00:20:56 Is this thing on?
00:20:58 Howdy!
00:21:01 Everyone hear me all right?
00:21:03 No!
00:21:07 You're the lucky ones.
00:21:11 Welcome to the highest party
00:21:19 Okay, maybe I did overdo it
00:21:23 Four years ago, I came here
00:21:27 The toughest mountain in the world.
00:21:30 As most of you know,
00:21:34 On Wednesday,
00:21:38 ...I intend to fulfill that dream.
00:21:40 And while I'm at it, take care
00:21:50 At 0900 hours, Greenwich Mean Time...
00:21:52 ...the inaugural flight of Majestic
00:21:56 ...and we'll be there to wave them on!
00:22:02 To the other teams climbing,
00:22:06 ...and good luck.
00:22:10 Kick up your heels
00:22:22 What about the weather, Mr. Vaughn?
00:22:30 We hope for the best.
00:22:35 The weather closes in
00:22:38 Or don't you have to worry about that?
00:22:43 Anybody who doesn't worry
00:22:47 Brian Maki did a high-atmosphere
00:22:52 Most years there's a 9-to-12-day lull
00:22:57 On August 2nd, we calculate
00:23:01 Give me odds like that
00:23:07 Who's the leader, Mr. Vaughn?
00:23:10 Who makes decisions that mean
00:23:15 Who plays God, so to speak?
00:23:17 There can be only one leader.
00:23:23 I've made it clear to everyone
00:23:31 Even the Pakistanis agree.
00:23:38 Okay, let's party!
00:23:44 Thanks for that, Elliot.
00:23:46 You climb as good as you talk,
00:25:06 You know that old guy
00:25:10 Montgomery Wick.
00:25:13 Remember Dad used to talk about him?
00:25:19 They were in the service together...
00:25:21 Of course, I remember.
00:25:28 I miss him, Annie.
00:25:32 I can't talk about it.
00:25:34 You never have.
00:25:36 There's nothing to say.
00:25:41 Look, you can blame me all you want...
00:25:44 ...but that last cam would've failed.
00:25:47 It held the two of us.
00:25:50 You want to do this?
00:25:54 You didn't give it a chance.
00:25:56 - He knew it wouldn't hold either.
00:25:59 We were his life.
00:26:00 He would've died rather than take
00:26:05 I think we owed him the same.
00:26:09 But I did what I thought was right.
00:26:11 If you're so right, why haven't
00:26:18 I'm not going up there for a TV show.
00:26:22 I want to be the person
00:26:26 When I'm up there, I feel close
00:26:29 I touch his soul.
00:26:37 Take care up there.
00:26:50 This is it.
00:26:52 Wish you were going with me.
00:26:54 Not this time. Take care up there.
00:26:59 And Scotland.
00:28:17 What is it?
00:28:19 Spindrift coming off the top.
00:28:21 That's local. If something was coming
00:28:25 Your sister's fine, man.
00:28:28 You too. Thanks for everything.
00:29:45 Understood, Tom.
00:29:49 Thanks, base. Out.
00:29:53 Well, you heard it.
00:29:59 Computer model shows it's building.
00:30:01 That's a concern.
00:30:04 We're about an hour from
00:30:09 Let's kick it and get up there.
00:30:11 Gets any worse,
00:30:14 If it comes in fast,
00:30:18 It's not fast.
00:30:20 There's a 70% chance
00:30:23 I'm not gonna risk a storm.
00:30:26 We're not suggesting anything stupid.
00:30:30 The odds are with us.
00:30:34 We turn back now, that's it.
00:30:37 I know. Elliot, I'm aware of that.
00:30:42 I won't let a marketing campaign
00:30:45 You think this is
00:30:48 Come on, Tom.
00:30:52 I don't give a shit
00:30:55 This is a life statement for me.
00:31:00 We're only 500 feet from
00:31:11 Okay.
00:31:14 Okay.
00:31:20 Let's go.
00:31:39 980 hectopascals and falling.
00:31:42 Lenticular cloud to the southeast.
00:31:46 Tom says he's going on.
00:31:49 Pressure's dropped two points
00:31:51 You made your case. We listened.
00:31:54 It's too high a risk. Why am I here
00:31:58 I'll assess the risk. As to why
00:32:03 I'm Annie's brother.
00:32:06 We're on target. They're going on.
00:32:08 The wind's hit to the south.
00:32:12 We've assessed the data.
00:32:14 It shows bad air coming in from India.
00:32:18 What the hell are you doing?
00:32:24 - How high are they?
00:32:28 - What are you doing?!
00:32:31 Leave it! That's enough!
00:32:35 Tom McLaren, come in.
00:32:38 Tom McLaren, this is base camp.
00:32:41 Tom McLaren, do you read?
00:32:46 Come in, base.
00:32:48 You've got a major storm coming in.
00:32:54 Who is this?
00:32:55 Peter Garrett.
00:32:57 Where's Frank Williams?
00:33:04 Skip here. We're looking
00:33:07 If this doesn't turn, you'll be in
00:33:12 Do you copy?
00:33:14 Yeah, I copy that.
00:33:17 How we doing?
00:33:18 I'm pulling the plug.
00:33:21 - Just hold on.
00:33:24 You pay me to make these decisions.
00:33:26 I'm paying you to get me to the top.
00:33:28 Jesus! Elliot, you told me
00:33:33 You are! Why are you vacillating?
00:33:35 Because some second-rate guide
00:33:38 Nobody knows this mountain better
00:33:40 Skip Taylor's a hustler. He was
00:33:45 Don't crap out on me now.
00:33:48 Come on, what did you think?
00:33:50 She'd just lift up her skirt
00:33:54 Is this how you got up Everest twice?
00:33:57 I'm going down.
00:34:03 Fine. Fine.
00:34:06 Go down. Go on. Sit it out.
00:34:09 The storm will turn and you'll spend
00:34:13 That should do wonders
00:34:29 I'm sorry, can I? Please.
00:35:15 We're going back!
00:35:19 We don't have a choice!
00:35:30 Fuck you!
00:36:43 Annie!
00:36:45 Annie, can you hear me?
00:36:47 I'm all right! I'm safe!
00:36:56 Elliot!
00:36:57 I'm fine! We're okay!
00:37:15 Avalanche!
00:38:26 Annie, are you there?
00:39:12 Come in, base, this is summit team.
00:39:22 Anybody, do you read me? This is
00:39:29 Summit team, this is base camp.
00:39:35 Summit team, this is base camp.
00:39:54 If you're gonna do that,
00:40:44 Base, this is summit team.
00:40:49 Here. Let me.
00:40:53 Oh, my God. That's Morse code.
00:40:56 My dad taught us when we were kids.
00:41:05 Smart man, your father.
00:41:08 He sure was.
00:41:17 There's three of them.
00:41:23 Vaughn.
00:41:27 Tom.
00:41:32 Annie.
00:41:48 I'm sorry, Kareem.
00:41:51 You say there are three.
00:41:55 Maybe there are others.
00:41:59 Maybe.
00:42:08 Tell them we can't keep talking.
00:42:14 He's right.
00:42:16 What's he saying, Annie?
00:42:20 They're coming to get us.
00:42:24 It's not just snow.
00:42:28 We need special tools.
00:42:31 Then how do you get it
00:42:36 Then we dig with our bare hands
00:42:39 Whatever it takes. We have more than
00:42:47 What the hell do you want to do?
00:42:57 Peter.
00:43:00 You can't ask people to work there.
00:43:03 That high, just staying alive is...
00:43:05 So we just walk away
00:43:08 They had one fuel can each. They can
00:43:13 At 26,000, without it,
00:43:15 That's pulmonary edema,
00:43:19 That gives us a window of 36 hours.
00:43:29 Montgomery Wick.
00:43:32 Wick speed-summited in 24.
00:43:34 We're not Montgomery Wick.
00:43:35 Even if we were, how long does that
00:43:42 We don't know their exact location.
00:43:49 I won't let Annie die.
00:43:54 So what are we gonna do?
00:44:38 Nitroglycerin, Mr. Garrett.
00:44:40 I wouldn't touch it
00:44:43 We use it to blast rock
00:44:46 It's low-freezing
00:44:51 My responsibility ends at that door.
00:44:53 I want to make one thing clear.
00:44:56 It's got nothing
00:44:59 Which is a legal way of saying
00:45:02 A magnificent madness, though.
00:45:05 Good luck.
00:45:09 Stop!
00:45:11 Skip, don't move your feet.
00:45:15 Everybody keep very still.
00:45:29 Okay, Skip.
00:46:31 Let me get this straight.
00:46:35 ...with nitro on your back
00:46:38 That's right.
00:46:40 A hundred thousand sperm
00:46:48 Skip here's agreed to go,
00:46:51 It'll be a speed ascent,
00:46:55 People have to share?
00:47:04 Ed.
00:47:05 You're the best climber here.
00:47:09 I'm not one to walk away,
00:47:12 If we just leave them,
00:47:14 It's reality. You're willing
00:47:18 How do you feel about that?
00:47:19 The same way you do.
00:47:21 Your best friend died on Everest.
00:47:29 I will go.
00:47:32 Ali is my cousin. It is my duty.
00:47:43 How about it, Mal? You and Cyril
00:47:49 No...
00:47:50 Why would we want to leave this place?
00:47:52 Luxurious accommodation.
00:47:54 Sultry weather.
00:47:56 I reckon we should wait
00:47:59 Good idea. Imagine coming to the
00:48:03 Especially when you have
00:48:06 And rustle up those all-important
00:48:15 What's bloody wrong with you?!
00:48:18 We're in.
00:48:22 Thank you.
00:48:25 I need one more.
00:48:35 I'll write a check now
00:48:38 Whether Elliot makes it or not,
00:48:42 Half a million bucks.
00:48:51 Does that include the tip?
00:49:15 My brother's got explosives.
00:49:20 Blast their way down.
00:49:24 How are they gonna find us?
00:49:28 It's not a question of how,
00:49:31 It's time that's gonna kill us.
00:49:35 A regimen we all adhere to.
00:49:38 Edema sets in
00:49:40 Now, I figure, three water bottles...
00:49:44 ...that's half a cup each,
00:49:46 After that, fuel cells to melt ice,
00:49:50 ...we use the dex syringes.
00:49:53 Chances are we're all gonna get
00:49:56 ...but if we keep to the schedule,
00:49:59 ...maybe we can hold out.
00:50:02 Annie, we need to give them the grid
00:50:07 She says they were about 300 feet
00:50:12 The shoulder ice field.
00:50:13 I checked their manifest.
00:50:16 We leave at dawn.
00:50:20 How high can we chopper in?
00:50:22 Rasul says 21,000.
00:50:25 He drops us.
00:50:27 Negrotto Col's the only place we can
00:50:41 Five hours short.
00:50:46 We need Montgomery Wick. He's the
00:50:50 Will he do it?
00:50:53 Four years ago, a big storm blows
00:50:58 There's nine up there, including
00:51:02 He knows he can't help her, but he
00:51:07 He lost all his toes to frostbite
00:51:11 They owe their lives to him.
00:51:16 Where is he?
00:51:17 On the mountain.
00:51:21 They never found his wife's body,
00:51:25 The guy's a lunatic.
00:51:28 That's just what we need.
00:51:30 Yeah. Strap on the nitro.
00:51:56 That's a great idea.
00:51:59 Although, bro and I always hoped
00:52:27 Why are you going?
00:52:29 The money, of course.
00:52:31 Skip hasn't paid anyone in months.
00:52:36 Can you climb?
00:52:40 Peter wants to know if I can climb.
00:52:43 Worst I've seen.
00:52:47 You're that good, huh?
00:52:50 Yeah. But it was a very tall ladder.
00:53:09 What the hell are you doing?
00:53:12 I'm trying to kiss my ass goodbye.
00:53:28 It's dawn.
00:53:29 If the weather's cleared,
00:53:32 I know.
00:53:35 Thank you.
00:53:38 And your brother?
00:53:41 Has he climbed since Utah?
00:53:44 No.
00:53:46 People say he lost his nerve.
00:53:50 Have you heard that?
00:53:52 Yeah, I've heard that.
00:54:17 Annie!
00:54:19 It's a pack! Quick!
00:54:56 I'm not interested.
00:55:02 You went before.
00:55:04 Four years ago.
00:55:08 My father was a climber. Royce
00:55:12 I don't care. I don't live my life
00:55:16 My sister's dying up there.
00:55:18 Before you lecture me,
00:55:20 It'll be less embarrassing.
00:55:22 Up there, you're not dying,
00:55:29 What the hell happened to you?
00:55:34 Vaughn's people are offering $500,000
00:55:37 Maybe that'll make a difference.
00:55:40 Why would they do that?
00:55:42 He's one of them.
00:55:51 What's their supply situation?
00:55:53 Enough for 22 hours.
00:55:54 Twenty-two.
00:55:56 Who's coordinating at base?
00:55:58 - Vaughn's people.
00:56:00 I'll need someone there I can trust.
00:56:05 Skip's one of the best climbers.
00:56:08 Let's agree on one thing:
00:56:11 On a rescue, we don't vote,
00:56:14 You listen and do exactly as I say.
00:56:26 Here's how we'll split it up.
00:56:31 - Cyril, you'll...
00:56:34 You've been up the mountain too long
00:56:37 Never eat at a place called "Ma's"...
00:56:39 ...don't play cards
00:56:42 ...and never climb with a stranger.
00:56:47 Frankly, I'd rather climb
00:56:50 My rules: I put a strong climber
00:56:53 You'll climb with Kareem.
00:56:56 Mr. Garrett,
00:56:59 Cyril. Guess what?
00:57:03 Come on, darling.
00:57:06 It's the second best thing
00:57:15 We'll take the west ridge.
00:57:18 Malcolm, Hockey Stick Gully.
00:57:20 Speed up all of them is the same.
00:57:58 We're as high as I can take you!
00:58:21 Move it! I can't hold it for long!
00:58:53 Next!
00:59:18 I'm having trouble
00:00:04 Go! Move it! Move it!
00:00:36 Grab my hand, damn it! Grab it!
00:00:49 Come on! Come on!
00:02:03 He needs dex. Now.
00:02:04 No.
00:02:06 We stick to the schedule.
00:02:08 In nine hours, the water runs out.
00:02:13 He'll die if he doesn't get it.
00:02:15 He will anyway.
00:02:21 Come on, Annie.
00:02:23 We both know Tom isn't going anywhere.
00:02:27 You've done your best. You have.
00:02:30 We can't waste resources
00:02:32 Saving somebody's life
00:02:35 It is, if you know
00:02:37 Why should three people die
00:02:42 Okay. If that's what you think,
00:02:50 Tom, can you hear me?
00:02:52 - Don't listen to...
00:03:00 You're a climber, Tom. A pro.
00:03:03 You know the reality.
00:03:05 ...they can't carry you down.
00:03:10 Now, Annie wants to give you the dex.
00:03:15 But you and I know it's just
00:03:21 Just lie here and die, Elliot?
00:03:25 Is that what you're telling me?
00:03:27 I'm not telling you anything.
00:03:32 ...not to waste it.
00:03:35 - lf I was in your position...
00:03:42 That's right, I'm not.
00:03:46 Understand something. You're not just
00:04:54 We're on a bit of a deadline, mate.
00:04:59 He's all right, isn't he,
00:05:01 He won't strike you dead
00:05:12 All right. One prayer.
00:05:15 Under the circumstances.
00:05:18 What harm can it do?
00:05:25 Do Muslims believe in Hell?
00:05:28 Do you?
00:05:31 So if that thing there blows...
00:05:34 ...and I don't believe in Allah,
00:05:38 Is that what you reckon?
00:05:42 You're all the bloody same,
00:05:46 Born-agains say I don't believe
00:05:49 Jews say I do believe in Jesus,
00:05:52 Catholics say I don't believe
00:05:57 So any way you look at it,
00:06:01 Well, go on, then. What did he say?
00:06:05 We gonna die up here or what?
00:06:08 All men die, my friend.
00:06:10 But Allah says it is what we do
00:06:14 Jet stream's rising. I'd say
00:06:19 Wick, do you copy?
00:06:20 Copy.
00:06:22 Pressure's up. You have clear skies
00:06:25 How long will it last?
00:06:26 You're good for the next 48 hours.
00:06:29 What is your exact position? Over.
00:06:31 The rock wall, about 400 feet
00:06:35 I thought you'd be at the top by now.
00:06:37 Yeah, so did I. What's the status
00:06:41 As far as I can tell, okay.
00:06:45 And Vaughn?
00:06:47 No word.
00:06:49 Keep me informed.
00:06:53 What is this with you and Vaughn?
00:06:55 You're too slow, Mr. Garrett.
00:07:03 Take your hands off me.
00:07:06 It's not your concern.
00:07:08 If it involves my sister,
00:07:11 I made it clear.
00:07:16 Look, if you've got another agenda...
00:07:19 ...why don't you go back?
00:07:26 Your sister will be dead in 14 hours.
00:07:35 Good luck.
00:07:42 I've got you. I've got you.
00:07:47 You're as crazy as your old man.
00:07:59 You did the right thing
00:08:04 Any good climber would have.
00:08:07 If Royce had had the knife,
00:08:48 I just got some spindrift in my lungs.
00:09:04 Summit team, this is alpha team.
00:09:08 This is summit team. Come in, alpha.
00:09:12 Annie Garrett, is that you?
00:09:13 It's Elliot Vaughn. Who's this?
00:09:16 Montgomery Wick.
00:09:20 - How many are you?
00:09:24 I'm with Peter Garrett.
00:09:26 I thought you only climbed solo.
00:09:29 Rescue missions are different.
00:09:32 What's your location?
00:09:34 West ridge, 23, 000.
00:09:38 You'll have to climb faster.
00:09:40 Tell Garrett Annie has edema.
00:09:43 Wick! Wick, this is Annie Garrett!
00:09:46 Wick! Do you read, Wick?
00:10:06 She needs dex.
00:10:08 It's too soon. She'll have to wait.
00:10:13 Annie.
00:10:15 Get it.
00:10:19 I told you.
00:10:21 I told you not to let her
00:10:24 You saddled up that pony,
00:10:29 Vaughn, you're not sick!
00:10:31 Not yet.
00:10:32 We hold to the schedule.
00:10:35 - It's the only way to stay alive.
00:10:40 You know, Tom, intelligence doesn't
00:10:44 You arrogant prick!
00:10:49 We wouldn't be here
00:10:52 You were the leader, Tom.
00:11:01 He's right.
00:11:04 None of us are gonna make it.
00:11:07 You want to survive?
00:11:10 Go and get it.
00:11:18 That's what I thought.
00:12:11 Use your ax!
00:13:02 Cyril!
00:13:04 - Cyril!
00:13:09 I'm coming!
00:13:17 It's coming through!
00:13:18 Hang on! It's gonna be okay!
00:13:22 Just hang on.
00:13:44 That's all there is.
00:15:10 You see the rocks to your left?
00:15:13 Yeah, I can see them!
00:15:16 I'm gonna swing you.
00:16:37 Look out!
00:17:01 Cyril! Cyril, are you there?
00:17:06 Malcolm! This is Peter!
00:17:08 I repeat, this is Peter.
00:17:11 - It wasn't us!
00:17:25 Cyril!
00:17:27 Are you there?
00:17:30 Cyril!
00:17:32 Damn it, you answer me!
00:17:35 Nag, nag, nag.
00:17:37 They always bloody nag.
00:17:40 You're sick.
00:18:23 They could still be alive.
00:18:25 I'm going back.
00:18:31 Mr. Garrett.
00:18:33 Your sister has pulmonary edema.
00:18:37 Monique and Cyril are question marks.
00:18:40 Your sister is not.
00:19:05 Bro, I'm sorry.
00:19:09 We gotta go.
00:21:42 You gotta straighten it.
00:21:49 Go ahead.
00:21:56 It'll be fine. Just look me...
00:21:57 Don't bullshit me, Peter.
00:22:07 Where were you going?
00:22:10 - What are you talking about?
00:22:14 Anywhere!
00:22:21 Tell me.
00:22:28 Paris.
00:22:30 I did two years of premed.
00:22:35 Any career worth this?
00:22:40 Two years on Everest, three at K2.
00:22:44 Skip makes the Pakistanis look
00:22:50 - How long you been sleeping with him?
00:23:36 My friend...
00:23:39 ...I think you should turn back.
00:25:40 Wick, do you copy?
00:25:43 Wick, this is base camp. Do you copy?
00:25:47 Come in, base.
00:25:48 The nitro reacts to the sun.
00:25:50 Get the nitro out of the sun.
00:25:52 Get that goddamn pack out of the sun!
00:25:55 It's gonna blow!
00:25:56 It's gonna blow!
00:25:58 Get the pack in the shade!
00:25:59 The nitro! It's gonna blow!
00:26:06 In the shade! There it is!
00:26:14 Malcolm! Can you hear me?
00:26:16 It's not their call time!
00:26:18 Malcolm, do you read?!
00:26:20 You take the shoulder.
00:26:24 Malcolm!
00:26:58 Malcolm!
00:27:00 Kareem!
00:27:03 Malcolm! Kareem! Can you hear me?!
00:27:06 You guys! Your radio!
00:27:10 Turn on your radio!
00:27:28 Come in, Peter.
00:27:32 Are you listening?
00:27:33 Malcolm, get the nitro into the shade!
00:27:39 Please, Peter, repeat.
00:27:42 Get the nitro into the shade right now
00:30:02 Don't touch her.
00:31:12 Is this what you're looking for?
00:31:18 Four years ago, an American team
00:31:22 She was the guide.
00:31:24 What happened?
00:31:28 Twenty-four, thirty-six hours.
00:31:32 If only she'd had dex.
00:31:34 - You're wasting time.
00:31:38 - Answer me, damn it!
00:31:44 How long have you known?
00:31:46 At the interview,
00:31:48 That was a lie.
00:31:53 Four years, Wick?
00:31:55 The mountain owns him.
00:31:59 Now you're gonna kill him.
00:32:01 My wife died of edema.
00:32:03 Skin stripped from her throat,
00:32:06 She drowned in her own bodily fluids.
00:32:12 I can't let you do it.
00:32:15 Do you know where you are?
00:32:17 Above 24,000, you're at the
00:32:21 Look at you. You can hardly stand.
00:32:25 If you think you can stop me,
00:33:26 Peter. Are you there?
00:33:30 Peter.
00:33:31 Annie. Annie, is it you?
00:33:33 Annie. Annie, what is it?
00:33:38 Where are you?
00:33:42 Five hours away.
00:33:46 I want you to go back.
00:33:49 Don't risk it. There's no reason.
00:33:55 I won't be here and neither will Tom.
00:34:02 How long?
00:34:05 An hour. Two at the most.
00:34:13 Peter. Peter!
00:34:15 I'm here, Annie.
00:34:24 I've been thinking.
00:34:28 I've been thinking a lot about Dad.
00:34:35 We shouldn't have gotten him a grave.
00:34:39 We should have come up here
00:34:47 He said this is where he was happiest.
00:34:51 He was a climber.
00:34:52 I think every real climber
00:35:02 What do you think?
00:35:08 I think we'll come back some day.
00:35:12 The two of us.
00:35:14 For Dad.
00:35:18 I would've liked that.
00:35:22 - I'm coming to get you, Annie.
00:35:25 Promise me. I don't want you to die.
00:35:27 - I don't care!
00:35:31 Please.
00:35:33 Just...
00:35:36 ...please don't.
00:35:38 Please.
00:35:42 Good night, Peter.
00:35:45 I love you.
00:37:03 Are you gonna kill me now?
00:37:06 Yes.
00:38:50 Bastard!
00:40:17 Are you ready?
00:40:19 I can't get them to melt.
00:40:23 - Boil the water!
00:41:02 Easy.
00:41:05 Easy.
00:41:10 Wait.
00:41:14 Okay. Keep feeding it.
00:41:27 Keep it coming.
00:41:31 Stop! It's leaking!
00:41:35 We can try and push it through
00:41:38 On three.
00:41:40 One, two, three!
00:44:41 Annie!
00:44:43 Annie!
00:48:41 Hold it! Hold it!
00:49:26 No! No!
00:50:14 How is she?
00:50:17 Amazing.
00:50:20 Talk about a will to live.
00:51:10 - That's not a song.
00:51:13 No way that's a song.
00:51:15 That's a good song.
00:51:18 A winning song, by the sound of it.
00:51:20 I think you're making it up.
00:51:28 That was a hell of a thing
00:51:31 Anybody else would've given up.
00:51:35 Not everybody.
00:51:38 He'd be proud of you.
00:51:41 Angry, but really proud.
00:52:02 Get some sleep.
