And the signal's still moving.

It'll be a category 4

dust storm

by the time

it hits this valley.

[Milly] We'll be looking

for a needle in a haystack.

- How long?

- Hard to know.

With the air this dry,

the storm could hit

any time in the next 24 hours.

We got two choices.

We wait, we lose

whatever life's left on the GPS.

We go,

and we get caught in this,

then I'm putting

all your lives at risk.

Where did you come from?

[Mason] This is our search

and rescue specialist,

Jack Ridley.

Jack, thanks for coming.

Good to see ya.

Dr. Jia Lee.

One of the men

we're looking for

is her brother.

You serious?

- Can I just explain something?

- Emotion clouds judgment,

and bad judgment

is how people end up dead.

Actually, I asked her

to join us.

She has skills that could

be very helpful to us.

All right.

Have it your way.

But you do what I say...

when I say it.

Deal?

- Okay.

- Now, have a four-hour drive

into the mountains,

and that is a long way,

especially with the dust storm

breathing down our ass.

[speaking Chinese]

[replies in Chinese]

Let's go!

[Jack] You know

that's bad for you.

[Gary] Eh, not if you

only eat ten a day.

[Mason] Hey, Jack.

I want to put my bag back there.

Jia, go ahead.

[Jack] All right.

- Do you know him?

- Ridley?

He came here

about two years ago,

after his last rescue mission

in Nepal.

The boy wonder.

Used to be a first-responder

for International Rescue.

They had him set

to run emergency response

back in New York.

What's he doing here?

Something bad went down

on his watch.

He won't talk about it.

Though I wouldn't mind

trying to get him to.

[Jack]

Pack that on this side.

[Milly] I'm in the back?

Come on.

[Milly]

What am I, the dog?

Don't answer that.

[soft clank]

[Jack]

Got everything you need?

[vehicle starts]

All right.

[Mason] You all right

back there?

[Milly] The storm's closing in

on the south ridge at 20 knots.

[Jack] Come on, Gary,

let's go.

Otherwise we're gonna

lose the signal.

[Jia] It's so barren.

It's amazing, isn't it?

How nature always finds a way

to survive.

[Milly]

The storm's holding for now,

but the signal's getting weaker.

[thunder crashes]

[Milly] There's gonna be

a lot of electrical discharge.

We need to stay ahead

of this monster.

[engine revs]

- [Chen] Not far now.

- Look out!

[Milly]

What are they?

[Jack] Keep an eye

on that storm.

[Milly] Okay, got it.

[Jia]

What's that smell?

[Jack]

Hydrogen sulfide.

This area is dotted

with old coal mines.

Gas is probably escaping

from underground.

- [hissing]

- Ohh!

[Mason] Jeez.

There's nothing inside,

but there's puncture wounds

all over the body.
