Everyone did except

for maybe Javier and Lilliana.

- I only didn't because I'm nauseous.

- Not to me!

Am I the leader of this group?

- I don't know. Are you?

- I'm the captain of the team.

Is this still a team or a bunch

of cut-throats after each other?

Answer me!

- Shall we take a vote?

- We don't need to. You're leader.

Answer me this, Antonio. If they

saw us, even if it is a land rescue,

why haven't they dropped supplies?

They could have done that.

They would have done that by now.

I have an idea to build two

hammocks for Federico and Alberto.

It would be better for their legs.

You gonna help me, Zerbino?

- Sure.

- I'll help too.

I saw some poles and straps.

I'm sure we can do it.

It's been five days.

This is the fifth day.

I'm hungry.

- Lift it up.

- OK.

Just like new.

OK, we need two more belts.

- Look! It's a radio!

- I wish it were a transmitter.

- Does it work?

- I hear static.

Give it to Antonio right away

before he starts yelling.

- Will we get this done before dark?

- Sure.

I can hear something.

We'll have to make an aerial.

Where are the planes?

Where are the planes?!

- How is she?

- I don't know. She's asleep.

And how are you, Nando?

Me? Fine. Don't worry.

No helicopters yet.

- She's dying.

- You can't know that.

And when she's dead, I'm gonna climb

out of these goddamned mountains,

back to my father,

back to my room in my house.

- How? You'll freeze.

- Not if I wear enough clothes.

You'd starve to death.

You can't climb a mountain on a piece

of chocolate and a sip of wine.

Then I'll cut some meat

off the pilots.

After all,

they got us into this mess.

- How you doing?

- OK. You?

I'm better.

At least I'm off the floor.

- Right.

- How's your leg?

I don't know.

Mine are bad.

It'll be OK.

Have you looked at Alberto's legs?

Yeah.

Alberto's legs are much worse

than mine.

Alberto and you both have problems.

Let me tell you something, Roberto.

My name is Federico Aranda

and I will return.

Alberto's in much worse shape than

me. We've got to keep an eye on him.

Shut up! Shut up!

Don't talk that way!

All I said was...

- Don't say it again.

- What's happening?

Antonio heard on the radio

that no planes have seen us. Yet.

- It looks bad.

- Shut up!

- We have to climb, find the taiI.

- The batteries are in the taiI.

We can work the transmitter,

call for help.

We've got to do something. We're

going to starve. Tomorrow, we climb.

- How much further is it?

- Come on!

- Come on!

- I can't! I'm dying for a breath.

Come on. Let's take one more push.

Let's do it! That's it.

Grab my feet. Hold on to them!

- Got you!

- Hold on!

Pull me up! Pull me up!
