and I'm such a fool

that I keep letting him do it?

Fine! Yeah, I admit it.

You.

You were the one...

...that said I should

quit northlab.

That was you!

- Because you hated it there!

No, because you hated me there!

Remember?

You hated me there!

Are you really gonna

go down that road?

No, I don't.

But apparently you do.

As usual.

You quit three years ago.

I figured you'd

find something else by now.

And I have.

Really? Yeah?

Please.

Don't give me "please."

I have.

You could be doing a hell

of a lot more and you know it.

Stop pretending this has

anything to do with the job.

It has to do with you

continuing to take advantage

of me.

Name one time--

- there's been plenty.

- Yeah?

'Cause god forbid you could

take care of me for once.

What are you talkin' about?

- It's what you do.

- What?

You... you take advantage

of people.

Yet you can't give me

any example of when I have.

You can't think of anybody

but yourself.

If people need you,

when I need you,

there is always something!

There is always something

more important to do!

Or...

...or someone.

I knew it.

I knew you couldn't do it.

I knew you couldn't do it.

Well...

You couldn't keep

from bringing it up.

Could you?

- Well, you...

...make it really hard

not to sometimes.

You couldn't keep

from bringing it up.

You had me in the crosshairs

for three years, baby.

- This is how we are.

- Let's drink on it.

You and me, let's have a toast

to the reason that you,

miss Joan Brennan,

are a drunk.

Let's have a toast to me,

your philandering,

selfish husband.

Mmh.

I'm done trying

to make amends with you.

- Well, you shouldn't be!

- Well, I am.

Are you okay?

I'm just tired.

Do you need to rest?

You need these?

Hey, talk to me.

What's your name?

Takumi.

That your whole name?

Nakamura takumi.

Tell me about your family.

My wife...

...kiiro...

...she's so smart...

...charming.

We have one daughter, fuyu.

Sorry I yelled...

...at you, earlier.

Maybe I deserved.

No.

No, you didn't.

Hey... what?

What is it?

Wh... what now?

Water.

Water?

Yes, this way!

Oh!

Wait, wait.

How do you know

it's okay to drink?

I do not, but would rather

get sick later

than die tonight.

Good point.

Oh... oh.

For later.

Ah.

We should follow it downstream.

It is best way to find help.

Ah!

What's that?

Ancient Japanese

survival technique?

No, no.

I learned on discovery channel.

Man vs. Wild.

Ah.

Oh.

Mount fuji...

...where is it?

We could use it

to get our bearings.

The parking lot was just...

...just west of the mountain.

East.

Are you sure?

Hey, hey!

Where you going?

It is said

a flower grows
