The Mountain Between Us Page #3

And I'm still telling you to go.

How hard is it for you just to sit still?

Alex. Okay, okay, okay.

There's a ridge up there.

I'll hike it, climb it, and see

if I can see a road or anything, okay?

- Okay.

- Okay.

Wait, wait, wait. Take this.

You can use the telephoto.

You'll be able to see farther.

Hey.

It's okay if you don't come back.

What?

I got you into this, so...

I'll understand.

Alex, if I wanted to leave...

I would have left three days ago.

Oh, yeah.

Oh!

How do I look?

Stop.

If I can't have it...

you can't have it.

Sh*t.

Okay.

Let's see.

She's pretty.

Don't look at me like that.

Date. July 7. Endoscopic-assisted management.

Hey, Ben. Surprise!

I can't believe you left

your little recorder unattended.

It's very unlike you.

I know you like to keep control of things.

Mmm, maybe that's unfair.

I've already said this...

but I wanted you to have it for good.

I'm happy that we've had

this time together...

no matter how bad things have gotten.

Ben?

Ben?

Ben?

Ben!

Okay, stop. Stop, stop, stop.

Oh, my God!

Jesus Christ! What the hell is that?

What is that?

What is that?

Oh, my God.

Sh*t!

No! Quiet! Quiet!

Stop! Stop!

Hey! Hey!

Hey, come back. Come back.

Come back!

God, no!

Oh, God!

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Alex?

Hey!

- What happened?

- It was a cougar.

Can you help him?

- God. Jesus.

- Oh, wow.

Okay. All right. Okay.

Easy, easy, easy.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

- You okay?

- I'm okay.

- How did he get in here?

- No, I...

Well, he did... he didn't get in.

I-I... yeah, I got the...

- I grabbed the flare.

- Flare?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- This boy almost got it.

- Wait.

- You really shot that cougar with a flare?

- Uh-huh.

Did you check your phone?

There's nothing.

What's your wife's name?

Sarah.

I hope I get to meet her.

She must be so worried about you.

Oh, God.

Do you have kids?

No.

Don't eat too quickly.

Your stomach could cramp up.

You know, that was a close one.

That should last us for about 10 days...

which is great, because we're stuck here.

I was thinking...

If we could get down low enough maybe

we could get enough signal on your phone.

No. No, forget the phone. There's no signal.

I think the search and rescue probably...

Well, they haven't found us yet, so...

I know, but they're less likely

to find us if we leave here.

They'll be focusing their search

on the beacon.

Jesus Christ, Ben.

No, there's a system here, Alex.

Yeah, systems fail all the time.

They haven't found us.

We have to get going.

You know, you wanted to wait. I waited.

Alex, honestly, it's too dangerous, okay?

I nearly fell off a cliff. Okay?

I honestly nearly died.
