The Mountain Between Us Page #2

- Oh. Yeah.

Yeah, you do.

I found them when

I was changing your trousers.

Are you okay?

Couple of bruises, few scratches,

couple of cracked ribs.

I'm okay. I got lucky.

The pilot?

I buried him yesterday.

He... He didn't file a flight plan.

No. No, but there was radio contact.

How long has it been?

36 hours.

There was a thing in the manual

about a beacon.

Yeah, it would've been in the tail.

God knows where that ended up.

Oh, Jesus. Mark has no idea where I am.

He'll be going out of his mind.

Okay. Okay.

Someone is definitely coming to get us.

We've got plenty of water,

as long as we can melt the snow.

We've got four packets of almonds...

couple of candy bars...

a half-eaten sandwich, and some cookies.

That should hold us until we're rescued.

What kind of cookies?

What?

Joke.

Oh, God.

Plane.

Plane! I need the flare! Flare! Quick!

- Alex, give me the flare gun.

- In here! Here!

Take it!

No, wait, wait. It's empty!

- Ben!

- I need a flare.

Here!

Quick! Hurry!

Hey!

Down here! Down here!

- They can't hear you.

- I know!

It's... it's...

It's just what you do.

Okay.

We're down to the rule of three.

We can go three weeks without food,

three days without water...

- What?

- ...three minutes without air.

Let me help. Let me help.

You wanna help? This is how you help.

You stay off the leg.

That would help you,

and it would definitely help me.

Please?

Anything that will burn.

Here.

You took these?

- Uh-huh.

- They're good.

I'm sorry you missed your wedding.

I can't stop thinking about him

not knowing I'm alive.

You told him

you were chartering a flight, right?

No.

I was gonna call him when we got to Denver,

and have him be all proud of me

for figuring it out.

I would have got there.

Even if it meant rushing

down the aisle like...

like Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate.

Someone's gonna find us.

You called someone.

You called your wife, right?

No.

Nobody?

I think Dustin Hoffman was

trying to stop the wedding

in The Graduate.

What?

He was banging on the window.

"Elaine!"

Yeah, yeah. I remember now.

Yeah. Yeah?

I have to pee.

- You have to what?

- I have to pee.

Need help with your trousers?

No.

Yeah.

Scoop your bum.

Thanks. Thanks. I got it. I got it.

Thank you.

Okay.

Ben.

It looks pretty healthy.

Cool.

What are you doing?

It's been three days.

We're down to individual almonds.

- We should get moving.

- No.

- It's just best we stay here. Yeah?

- Oh, God.

You're not gonna get far with that leg.

No way, Ben. I'm not staying here. Come on.

I see. There's no...

Alex, stop!

Then you go.

- Huh?

- I can't go!

You wouldn't... you wouldn't...

You wouldn't make it without me.
