and now he's dead.

Take a look out there.

Go on. Just look down below.

You see that?

That's death, boy.

This land will kill you as

sure as a bullet in the head.

We just run this little drill

to make us all feel better.

Because next time, who knows,

could be my ass...

or Shephard's, your yours.

He would have done the

same for us. What?

He would have done the same for us.

Your goddamn right, he would.

But that don't change the facts.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

You see, the way I figure it,

I probably walked for 5 days.

Maybe... I don't know...

...15, 20 miles a day.

So that would put us,

probably...

...80, 90 miles from the plane.

So if Shep is flying a triangular

grid from Queen Maud Gulf...

...Bathurst, Yellowknife...

and that was them

and they're flying east...

they'd see the plane.

They'd see the S.O.S.

and they'd know

we're alive. But, no...

we're here in the middle

of bloody nowhere.

Because I left the plane.

Sh*t!

You never, never, never

leave the plane!

But I know it was them.

We gotta go back.

You're gonna cut my

circulation off there.

Alright.

I'm not a bloody invalid.

I'm good.

I got it, I got it, I got it.

I'm good.

Alright, let's go back to camp.

No, I'm not going in the water.

It's Ok.

No, I'll get soaked.

It's Ok.

How 'bout that?

Water tight.

I got boots.

You've... wife?

Me? No.

Not married.

Use to have a girl.

That was a while ago.

How old?

32, no wife?

How old are you?

20?

How 'bout you?

You got a wife?

Hey. That's enough.

Time out.

You know, you've been singing the

same song for three days now.

I mean, have mercy woman.

A man can only take

so much of this.

You know any other songs?

You know anything with

a tune or a beat?

You sing.

No, ah...

that's not what I meant.

You sing now.

Alright.

Fine.

I'll sing.

"When the moon hits your eye... "

"... like a big pizza pie... "

"... that's amore."

"When the world seems to shine... "

"... like you've had too much wine... "

"... that's amore."

So?

Sit down.

Search and rescue called.

They've been at it for

almost three weeks now.

You know what they

say about them.

They have a perfect record...

but never found anybody.

The country is just...

so big, you know?

And if, God forbid,

the plane burned...

they could fly right

over the top of it...

never see anything at all.

I'm sorry kid.

You Ok?

Here, sit down.

Let's rest a while.

What the hell is that?

It's not the plane.

You see that?

Dear God.

Ooh, jeeze,

look at this.

Bimotor...

You know,

I think this is a B-18.

Sure took a tumble.

Look at all this stuff.

Come look at this.

Come here.

We can use some of this.
