The Mountain Between Us Page #5

It's the best chance we have at survival.

I know, I'm sorry.

Jeez, I'm sorry... for all of it.

I'm only telling you 'cause I don't

wanna be left on this mountain by myself.

Me neither.

You wouldn't eat me, would you, boy?

Alex.

You were talking in your sleep.

Yeah, I forgot to say, "I love you."

- Who?

- I didn't say, "I love you," to Mark...

- Oh.

- ...when I talked to him from the airport.

You know, at the end of the call,

you know, always say, "I love you."

He knows.

Of course he does.

Thank you.

I'm gonna take a look around.

You want coffee?

Well, I can't see anything now.

A little lower than that, I think. It's...

You know, it could have been anything...

just sunlight reflecting off some ice, maybe.

Or man-made.

Huh?

We should check it out, though.

I mean, we only got three days left of food.

Let me help you with that.

Can I ask you something?

How long have you been married?

Why would you ask me that?

- I'm only asking because...

- Because what?

Well, you wear a wedding ring, but...

but you don't talk about your wife.

Let's try to find out what that was.

Come on, buddy.

Let's try to get there before it gets dark.

All right?

Yeah.

That's it. Up, up, up.

Good, good, good. Okay.

Come on, boy. Let's go.

I reckon we're...

another thousand feet down.

He hates his leash. I'm gonna let him go.

Almost looks like he knows where he's going.

I think he was safer on the leash.

Come on.

- Another hour...

- Okay, okay.

...then we'll stop.

Oh, sh*t.

No, no, no!

No! Damn it!

This is impossible!

We have to try and go back up, Alex.

Find another way around this.

Look, I can't go up, can I?

There has to be a way down.

No. We just gotta go back

and find another way.

I think if we follow this path...

Alex, we're not doing that.

We follow that path, and we... and we die.

The last time you thought

you knew something, we ended up...

What do you mean, the last time I thought?

The last time I thought,

I was trusting my instincts, you know.

- Alex. Calm down.

- I was trusting my gut, my heart.

Just calm down, all right?

Let's just think about this logically.

- There's no actual way...

- Stop!

I'm scared.

Okay? I'm scared.

Admit that you're scared, too.

Ben...

do you actually know

what it means to be reckless?

It means to abandon safety.

- I know exactly what it means, Alex.

- And sometimes...

- But right now...

- Right now, we don't have a choice, okay?

Nobody knows where we are.

You know, all we have is me and you.

That is it, Ben.

I don't want to die! Okay?

Tell me, Doctor, from your heart.

Do you a... Do you actually think

we're gonna make it?

No.

My instinct tells me
