The Snow Walker Page #5

Synopsis: 1953. Charlie Halliday, a former WWII fighter pilot, is a Yellowknife-based bush pilot. Like many of the white in the area, he does not associate with the Inuit except for what he can get out of them in bartering. On a personal plane trip, he runs across a small family of nomadic Inuit. The female of the group, named Kanaalaq, has what Charlie suspects is tuberculosis. In exchange for some ivory, Charlie agrees to fly her to a hospital in Yellowknife. En route back to the city, Charlie is forced to make a crash landing when the plane develops mechanical problems. Although both Charlie and Kanaalaq are unharmed by the crash, the plane is totaled, they are in the middle of nowhere, the radio doesn't seem to be working, they have a meager amount of supplies, and Charlie's whereabouts are probably unknown to others since he made a detour from his original route. Furthermore, they can't communicate with each other as Kanaalaq only knows a few words of English, whereas Charlie knows no Inukt

Look up in here.

All kinds of stuff.

Yeah.

Use that.

Look at the jack I found here.

We can kill a few squirrels

with that, huh?

Come on. There's all kinds

of stuff. Give me a hand.

It's Ok.

It's Ok.

Poor son of a b*tch.

Look at that!

Not too bad.

Use it for somethin'.

Come on!

Come on, give me a hand.

Yeah!

Jack pot!

Look at this!

Thank you!

That's gonna save us,

right there.

We were meant to

find this stuff, Kanalaaq.

Would you at least

look at me?

I'm talking to you.

Would you look at me?

What are you doing?

He doesn't need

these things, you know.

Fine.

The world has many spirits.

All things ...

Breath?

Everything breathes?

Some spirits good...

some bad.

They trick you.

When you die...

"Tarquiup" will come.

Who's that?

Who is Tarquiup?

Is he a spirit?

He...

He sees you?

He watches you?

He says...

Come. It's Ok.

It's your time now.

It's Ok.

Where does he take you,

when he comes?

Good hunting.

Many fields...

fish...

walrus?

Sounds like a good place.

When you die...

you need...

You need your tools.

I see.

So, where does Tarquiup live?

The moon?

Hey.

I was just trying to figure

out whose dog that is.

You off work?

No, just a break.

Told Jimmy I needed some air.

I wanted to tell you something.

I know you feel bad, Shep.

But this wasn't your fault.

You aren't responsible for him.

Nobody was.

When it comes right down to it,

all of us are just alone in this world...

and that's just the way it is.

I brought you something.

I thought you might

like to have it.

Ok.

What are you doing?

Gettin' my stuff.

I heard they called off the search.

Yeah.

That's a tough break.

Listen, if you're looking for another flyer,

I got a buddy you might wanna meet.

He and I are partners on

a couple of side deals we got going.

I do a little speculating now

and again myself, you know?

Matter of fact, you know

we should talk.

Because, uh...

maybe we could...

work out a little arrangement?

Get out.

What?

You heard me.

Go on.

Get the hell outta here.

Before I throw you

through the goddamn wall.

Look.

Thank God!

Look at that.

How could you miss her?

Come on. I know you

guys left something here.

Alright. Come on fellas,

I know you left it. So where is it?

Come on, Shep, Pierce.

I don't believe it.

Damn it!

Nothin!

Not a note. Not a sign. Nothin!

How could they miss this?

How could they not see us?

You know, the snow is comin'.

What is it gonna get?

20, 40 below?

How we gonna eat then, huh?

How we gonna stay alive?

I don't even know

why you came for me.

But you know what

the real joke is?

We never had a chance.

We were dead the minute

we hit the ground.
