Nature Unleashed: Avalanche (2004) - full transcript

Two brothers and an avalanche researcher try to convince villagers that a giant wall of snow will soon destroy their valley.

Come here.

Come on.

First concrete, not timber. We said okay.

Then steel. Iron, not steel.

And what about that
marble you promised me?

I bought the marble...

Ask misho...

For the "bloody" staircase.

We must finish now, open the hotel.

We will, two weeks from today.

One week, please.



If we don't open, we have to pay interest,
and my investors won't like that.

I like having my head on my shoulders.

Now, what's that mean?

Off!

Alex, we're building...

Excuse me, sir.

Not just a hotel,

but the best hotel in the area...

Solid, warm, a Jewel on the mountain.

That was the plan, right?

One week, please.

Not without the bloody marble.

For the bloody staircase.

How does it look?



It was fine last week.

Whoa.

What are we waiting for?

Okay, gentlemen, go play,
just not above the bowl.

The snow's too soft.

Yeah, no problem. Come on.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, what are you doing?

What?

Not in front of the clients, brother.

That's $300 playing up there.

Now, put it away.

You know, you worry too much.

Three hundred?

You know, I've seen
this great new pair of ski...

Already gone.

Present financial situation
of cusslers extreme

as of 0900 this morning...

Assets, zero. Cash flow, zero.

Cash owing...

Sorry, man, I can't... I can't
quite hear you with this on.

Now, if a certain trading
partner from cussler extreme

hadn't taken a certain Danish client

cavorting all over
the mountains for free,

present cash-flow situation
would be about what, $500?

Look, she just broke
up with her boyfriend.

She needed... she needed...

Needed what?

Comforting.

Physical comfort...

Lots of fresh air and bodily contact.

The hell she did.

Whoa! Ha-ha!

Man, he's cutting too high.

Yo, hans!

Yo! Come on, sit down!

Slow down!

No.

Whoa.

I'm okay. I'm okay.

Are you all right, hans?

You see that? I cheat death.

Jock, jock, jock, jock, jock, jock!

If the bike's kaput, you owe US, okay?

Paragraph three of your contract.

Who cares?

I told you I'm not too
scared of a little danger.

You listen. We said not
too high on the slopes!

If that bike is stuffed, I swear
to god I'm gonna... thom? Thom.

What is this, hans? We should go!

Head toward the tree line. Go!

Look at that.

What's happening?

Mama! Mama!

Whoa! Whoa! Ho!

Keep moving! Keep going!

Mama!

Hang on!

Help me!

Faster!

Do something, quick!

Aah!

Faster!

What the hell just happened?

Let's go, guys! Hustle up!

Katya! Come on, let's go.

Coming!

You're joking. Whereabouts?

When did it happen?

I'll get word to Stephan.

Hey, what's wrong?

Cheap television.

Hey, Mike.

Stephan, you heard.

I'm on my way now.

Sounds like a real mess down there.

I'll ski down. It's faster.

Hey, I'll come and help, too.

Anna, mother will never forgive me

if you start classes in
stuttgart with your leg in a cast.

I can take care of myself.

No, Anna, not this time. Deal?

Bye.

He's right, you know.

You'll be able to look after
more people after stuttgart

when you're a doctor.

Thanks to you.

You're the one who passed all the exams.

You paid my tuition.

It's my pleasure.

Found one!

I'm hearing something.

Bring the dogs!

There you go.

Hey, we got one.

Over here, rescuer we got one!

Stretcher!

Come on, buddy. We got you!

Careful.

Got one over here!

So far there have been
no fatalities reported

in the avalanche,

which hit the town of
dubrov this morning.

Local authorities say the avalanche

was caused by snowmobiles

from the cussler extreme touring company.

The snowmobiles were
running on high, soft snow,

the apparent instability of which

seemed to trigger the avalanche.

Experts have arrived in town

in order to monitor the possibility

of further avalanches.

Despite the avalanche,

the decision has been made

to leave the ski resort
nearby, open for the time being.

How many injuries?

Christ. Was anyone killed?

Thank god for that, I guess.

What triggered it?

Snowmobiles?

How did snowmobiles
cause something that big?

Jock cussler... why am I not surprised?

Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Jock, your irresponsible ass.

I will not pay.

You're crazy. You said, "no problem."

I should sue. I want my money back.

And we also said, "not high on
the slopes because it's dangerous."

You're the one who crashed
one of our bikes today.

A word, thom. Not now, okay? Later.

One hour, at the bar.

Come on. We go to the hotel and
get into some dry clothes. Okay?

Come, come.

You do that.

How about this? We saved your life today.

Thought you said it was safe, man.

Rode that area last
week. It was all stable.

That avalanche should not
have happened, not there.

What are you saying,
thom, that this was my fault?

I didn't say that, okay?

Jock! I heard what happened. You okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

You going somewhere?

I'm going to get something to eat.

With your boards, your cross-terrains,

and your downhills.

Where you going, the andes?

How much is Callie paying you?

What am I going to do?
This place is a graveyard.

You know what, Gregor?

You could have at least had the
decency to tell US to our faces.

You should pack it in.

Take it from me, it's
no place to be poor.

Told you he was going to quit.

You ever get sick of
being so damn right, thom?

It's probably a good thing anyway.

We couldn't afford to pay him, man.

Why did you have to make
everything sound like my fault?

I didn't say anything, brother.

Well, why don't you?
Why don't you just say it?

Why don't you tell everyone

that jock had a great
deal going with Callie

and he messed it up

because he screwed around, as usual.

Now, you're going to be the one
who ends up getting shafted, again.

You know what, brother? You're
absolutely right. This is all your fault.

Yeah? Yeah!

Really? Really!

Yeah? Yeah!

Good, I'm glad we got that settled.

I don't know about
you, but I need a drink.

Yeah, me, too. After you.

It will be in orbital position by...

0700 tomorrow,

but they do not exactly give
away satellite time, Katya.

I am begging you. It's important.

Ha-ha.

I love it when you're begging me.

Boris, this is life and death.

Ladna, ladna, okay.

Still doing battle against the
demons of environmental pollution?

Something like that. Will you help?

Of course. How can I say no?

Thank you. I owe you.

Why can't you talk to the investors,

tell them not to worry?

Never even met them.

You know what they're like,

barely talk to each other.

Rogov's the only one they trust.

Yeah, I wish I could say the same.

Callie, I know you don't like him,

but he's done all right by US so far.

Good to see you. Welcome back.

Trouble is, if I don't open on time,

god knows what they'll do.

What kind of investors are these people?

They're like most investors... nervous.

Am I going to see you later?

I've got to get together
with the staff in town first.

I hired a new ski instructor.

You probably know him, actually...

Gregor ozerof.

Didn't he work for the cusslers?

Nothing to do with it.

We'll be swamped with tourists soon.

We needed a new guide. He was available.

Callie, success can be a sweet revenge,

but it makes a lousy weapon.

It was strictly a business decision,

nothing to do with jock.

I'll see you later.

Are you listening to me, Mr. Mayor?

This area has been overly developed...

More people, more cars, even smog.

It's created an inversion,

a warm spot over the glacier,

and now every time a
front hits the mountain,

it brings more and more snow.

Sure is cold enough to
snow, so where's the problem?

But not to freeze.

It's a breeding ground for avalanches.

He knows nothing about avalanches.

Now, you just get on with your
beer, young Ivan the terrible.

Your stories, unlike hers, are boring.

In '64 we had to run. My
legs were stronger, of course.

First it was the shadow,

like the sun had gone out.

We ran, but some were not so lucky.

It sounded like thunder, like...

And the trees breaking like matchsticks.

Yes, we know all that.

In 1964 this happened? Where?

In his dreams.

See, that is the trouble
with workplace romances.

They always end up badly.

Yeah, especially when she's
your boss who can fire your ass.

I didn't plan for to happen.

You've got too many plans.
My problem is I listen to them.

Hey, thom, why don't
you get your life savings

and dump them into some old snowmobiles

that are more like lawnmowers,

and we'll take skiers up into the
mountains. We'll make a fortune!

I ought to have my head examined.

It sounded like a great idea at the time.

You have to start listening, please.

Listen to Ivan?

We are talking about a super avalanche.

Hello, miss elkin. Everything all right?

Hi. Thanks, Mr. Mayor.

Usual table? Yes, usual table.

Anything for you, miss elkin.

A super avalanche.

Look, Katya, it's your
job to predict avalanches.

It's not the end of the world.
That's what your paid for.

That glacier is a time bomb.

So what do you want me to do?

Talk to George elkin.

You're the mayor, for Christ's sake.

It is too dangerous to have
more tourists in this town

when avalanches are imminent.

What else am I meant to do, marry her?

That's what you said
you were going to do.

You told her that you loved her, okay?

Yeah, I did. Hell,
thom, maybe I still do.

You know, things change
and people move on.

Listen, brother. Next time
you're going to dump a little girl,

make sure her daddy isn't
around to Bury our business.

Come on. She'll get over it, eventually.

Well, it hardly matters now.

After that avalanche, we'll be about
as popular around here as the plague.

You want to know what causes avalanches?

There.

That's what starts an avalanche.

It was only a little avalanche.

Mr. Mayor.

Set 'em up, same as usual.

I should've thrown you both out.

You two have caused
such a ton of trouble!

Come on, have a heart.

You're looking at two guys who
cheated the grim reaper today.

Well, guys, I think I'm
going to call it a night.

Good night, miss elkin.

I'll see you bright and
early for work tomorrow.

Thought you had a party, sweetheart.

Not much in the mood.

Looking good.

Your mother would have been proud,

the work you put into this.

What's the matter, sweetheart?

Sorry, dad, I'm not
really with it this evening.

I sense a jock cussler moment happening?

Come on. Shh.

He breaks hearts,

causes avalanches.

What a guy.

I tell you, I'm ready for that drink.

What avalanche?

Dubrov.

That close?

Our lady scientist is
punching the mayor's eardrums

as we speak.

She thinks opening the
hotel is dangerous, a risk.

Rubbish.

Do you know what will
happen if we're up in the glacier

and the window slams shut?

All I need is a few minutes.

Hell of a favor you're asking.

The favor is that I
can't actually pay you.

That's not a favor. That's charity.

Is that a no, then?

Is what a know?

She wants US to take
her up on the glacier,

in the the eye of a snowstorm.

Cool, sounds like fun. I'm in.

All right, you two wait here. Yeah?

While I talk to the snow.

She talks to the snow?

Yeah, well, you were the one who
insisted on helping her, Galahad.

Do you need a hand or something?

Shh, quiet.

Okay, now she's eating the snow.

It's okay, Katya. We got you.

Come on, pull, pull, pull.

There you are. You okay?

Jesus Christ. What's happening to her?

She's in shock. Go get
the bike. We need it, quick.

My god.

Let's get out of here, brother.

Thom... come on, Katya.

Hold on, Katya.

Go!

I'll, um... I'll see you guys later.

Hey.

You scared US out there.

Hell, everything scared US.

Want to talk about it?

They won't listen, so why should you?

Try me.

What's this?

It's a satellite radar
image of the glacier.

The energy released by a collapsing fault

is roughly the same as a ton of tnt.

So what happens now?

Total collapse,

a super avalanche.

Why did she freak out so much?

No idea.

It was weird, like...

Extreme tours,

cussler snow mobiles,
rentals, and repairs,

ski and snow board adventures.

This is thom. How may I help?

Mr. Elkin.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, he's with me now.

Yeah, okay.

Sure.

Sure. Of course.

Okay, bye.

That was elkin.

Yeah.

Wants to have a little chat,

you, me, and Katya.

With this you've been trying to
get the mayor to shut my hotel down

before I've even put a key in the door?

At least he spoke to you.

He hasn't.

In this town, we know
everything about everybody.

So why did you invite US here, Mr. Elkin?

It's not like we're the enemy.

Callie, I want you to listen to this.

To what?

Thom.

Look, the dubrov avalanche
should not have happened.

That should not be sounding like it is,

so I think Katya's on to something here.

Speculative and hypothetical.

Without hotels, this resort is dead.

Which is what nearly happened to US.

So, if you don't mind, I've
got a snowmobile to fuel up,

and you've got a hotel to open.

Jock.

Jock's right. I do have a hotel to open,

and I can't justify
remaining closed over this!

My hotel is engineered...
Engineered to withstand the force

better than any in the area.

Your hotel may be strong, Mr. Elkin,

but what about the people on the slopes

and in the streets?

Believe me. Hell is not hot.

It's cold,

heavy, inescapable,

and you're bringing it
to everyone in this town.

Jock.

That was quite an outburst.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry.

Not at all.

Was it really that close?

Do you want to talk about it?

No.

You don't believe her.

It doesn't matter what I believe.

It matters what your father does.

Listen, do you think that
we could get together later?

I want to talk to you about something.

Yeah, sure.

Meet me in the cloud house,

the ice lounge, in one hour?

Okay.

She's still got it.

Some people never change.

Alex, it's George.

We need to talk.

Hey, you need a hand?

No.

Okay, then how about
telling me what it is

between you and that
damn chunk of ice up there?

Go on. You need an ally, I'm it.

What are you doing?

There, that's what it is about
me and that chunk of ice.

You, um... Survived an avalanche.

Yeah, that was cold.

Look, I am so sorry.

I... i...

You know, you, elkin,

these people will never understand.

Try me.

Talk to me. I want to know!

Come on, damn it!

Hey, champagne.

You know, this never ceases to amaze me.

Cheers.

What are we toasting?

New beginnings.

We will not shut

because of some silly girl's prediction.

And what if she's right?

I don't want to be responsible
for people dying, not again.

Give me an orange juice, frozen, please.

So this is about Sarah, your wife?

It's about not tempting nature, rogov.

They will kill US.

What are you talking about?

Where do you think the money is from?

This is not the west,

you don't just walk into a bank.

What have you got US involved in?

Where's this money coming from?

Open the hotel, please...

Avalanche or not.

I take delivery in two months.

We'll be the only private helicopter
tour company in the province.

I want you to run it.

What?

Thom's a pilot,

and you're the best guide I know.

You actually want to hire US back?

I'm willing to forget the past

and do what's best for the business.

And that's it? It's just
all strictly business?

That's right.

This exactly the kind of
thing I expect from you, Callie.

What do you mean?

You being the same old spoiled brat

who thinks her money can buy her anything

or, in this case, anyone.

I'm just offering you a chance
to get back on your feet.

No, this is about you trying
to gain control over me.

What makes you such a hot commodity?

A brand new helicopter
is a pretty healthy bribe.

A bribe?

Look, I'll tell you what a bribe is.

This... this is a bribe.

This is what I will pay you
to stay out of my life forever.

There's something about that girl,

the way she defended herself.

She knows, Callie,

and we're sitting right dead center.

Everyone in this resort

is here because of
something we built and own.

We're responsible for them.

And I take it rogov isn't
too concerned about that.

No.

Have Gregor check the
slopes in the morning.

I'll talk with the mayor.

I'm not going to open the hotel

until we know more.

I'm not going to lose
anyone else to this mountain.

No, that would be unfortunate.

Do you blame me for
the death of your mother?

You did what you did.

Nothing's going to change that.

But I should've been
there to lead the search.

I just spoke to Gunther.

Someone put "avalanche"
signs on the slopes.

It was that girl, Katya.

Talk to the mayor and have her fired.

She has more courage
and integrity than I thought.

And you respect this?

She's doing what she's compelled to do...

What she should do.

And I'm going to give her my support.

Rogov, I'm not opening that hotel
until I know more about that Ridge.

It's too dangerous.

Are you insane?

You will start a panic.

What was insane was
thinking you could be trusted.

You're not being reasonable.

I told you the investors...

The hell with your investors.

I run my business as I see fit.

Your business?

Without me, you're just a foolish old man

building a monument to his dead wife.

That was very rude.

I speak the truth.

There is another truth
you need to understand.

If you do not open the hotel,

my investors will
physically hold in escrow

what family you have left.

Rogov, the well being

of our relationship...

I need to clarify something.

Because it sounded to me

like you are threatening my daughter.

It's not a threat.

In this country, it is business.

You lay one finger on my daughter,

and I'll rip your damn head
off and ram it up your ass.

And you can tell that to your investors.

Hey, been looking for you.

Katya's closed down the slopes,

which is pretty damn defiant.

I figured we could give her a hand.

I don't think so.

Okay, you going somewhere?

Yeah, I'm leaving.

Callie.

Give the man a cigar.

Look. What's this?

She wants to buy one and give
US jobs running helicopter tours.

Man, she really is an evil bitch.

Don't you start on me, thom.

You turned her down.

Of course I did.

What do you expect me to do, just
roll over and give into her blackmail?

You don't suppose this could've
just come from her heart?

You know what? Who cares?

Because, apparently, there's
a great, big lump of ice up there

that's just going to come
down and take everybody out.

Everybody. You know, bang.

What's the matter, brother?
You can't stand the idea

that Callie just might care
a little bit more about you

than you do about yourself. Is that it?

Well, thank you very much, Dr. Freud.

You know what my problem is...

There's only one?

I've seen what happened to you and Lisa.

No, I'm serious.

What the divorce did to
you... I couldn't handle that.

It would tear me up.
I'm not as you, thom.

You know what? I knew you'd find someway

to make this all my fault, brother.

To hell with you.

No, no, you're not going
anywhere, not this time.

What are you going to do, thom, stop me?

If I have to. Really?

Okay, okay!

You wanna go? Go!

I don't know why this time
should be any different.

Come in peace.

At least you believe me.

Yeah.

I...

I flew Kosovo...

Helicopters.

It's...

It's kind of weird,
but after a while you...

You can sense danger.

Yesterday on the slopes, I felt it.

It's real.

And you know it could happen anytime.

We don't have much time, do we?

Check the top runs,

and if the snow pack
looks risky, shut them down.

I have two men who have
booked a back country tour.

They paid in advance.

Then stay below the first Ridge.

My grandmother can ski there.

The first Ridge. No higher.

And where are your beacons?

At least get them for your clients.

You might think you're invincible,

but if that ice slams down,

it will swallow you,

and the beacons will be the only way

to find your worthless
heartbeat in the snow.

Good morning.

Come on. Get dressed.

I know you planted those signs,

and I want to give you
all the support I can.

Five years ago I let my family down

at the worst possible time.

You're right.

Hell is cold,

so just tell me what it is you need

to properly check out that Ridge,

and I'll do it now.

Okay, we'll go.

Quick. Quick.

Come, Erik. It's time to fly.

This is going to be great.

What're you doing here?

I asked you not to come.

I told you, because you
were childish. You are...

What?

Look.

Gregor.

Get Gregor on the radio.

He's on the upper Ridge.

Lodge to Gregor.

Come in.

Gregor, answer.

Come in. You'll love this run.

50-degree vertical.

This is more like it.

No, baby slopes for US. Erik?

Lodge to Gregor. Come in.

Not now, rogov. I'm busy.

No, but soon you will all
the time in the world for me.

What's taking so long?

The tracks are loud. He can not hear.

Let me try.

Come in, Gregor.

I know you're on the upper Ridge.

Gregor, here. I read you.

What the hell are you
doing? That area's off limits.

I'm sorry Mr. Elkin.

It sounds like...

It's safe, miss elkin.

Don't worry. I'm an expert.

I don't care. Get your
ass off that glacier now.

Do you copy?

Okay, okay, we'll go. I copy.

He won't listen to you.

Bitch.

He's not going to listen to her.

How do you know?

Because when he worked
for US, he never did.

Hey...

Can we go to the next Ridge?

That area's closed.

Too dangerous.

Perhaps another hundred
American will change your mind.

I need to use these.

Hey, man, what are you doing?

He's going to bring the whole thing down.

They're going higher on the Ridge.

Did you hear something?

Gregor to lodge.

Come in.

Hello. Please. Somebody.

Miss elkin, we need help.

We need it real fast.

Hello, this is ski rescue.

Come in.

Callie, it's Katya. Come in.

It's Gregor.

He's gone, and we couldn't help him.

Listen, that was only the
top snow shaking loose,

it means the glacier
is starting to break up.

You have to evacuate.

You have to get out of there now.

Please.

Well, we're not doing
any good here. Come on.

Well, you heard her.
Come on, evacuate. Let's go.

Keep them calm. Get as many people
onto the gondola as we can, okay?

Anna, come on!

Jock, are you up there? It's thom. Over.

Jock, come in. Come in, damn it.

Keep moving! Keep moving!

Please evacuate the slopes immediately.

This is an avalanche warning.

Please evacuate the slopes immediately.

Everybody, please listen to me!

Come away from the windows.

We need to evacuate the
building as soon as possible.

Miss elkin, I must get on the gondola.

You wait your fucking turn.

Go!

There's the gondola, go to it, run!

Move! Move!

I told you to move!

Stop it! Wait!

You go, too. Get to the gondola!

I will go when you go.

Go! Come on.

Get on the gondolas!

Keep going!

Move. Move.

Move!

It's full.

One, two, three...

Go!

Callie.

That's it.

Everybody's gone but US.

Maybe we should ski down.

No, there's no time.

The ice cave. We need to
get down into the ice cave.

Go. Go.

What are you doing?

My brother's still up there.

The snow is still unstable.

We must wait for it to settle.

We don't have the time.

Thom, he's right.

The lodge is gone. No
one could have survived.

So, what? We just stay
here and do nothing?

You're on your own.

No, he isn't.

Fine, we'll all go, too,
but I lead the rescue.

Hey, here!

Here! Up here!

Help!

I've got five pings.

We search here.

Two meters.

Four meters.

We're close.

Look, this is gonna take hours, man.

What did you expect?

Look, we don't have
the time for this, okay?

Just look around you.

This is a big white lake,

and we're looking for tiny signs of life.

The beacons were in the pro shop.

They could be anywhere by now.

Come on.

The beacons are the
only way to find them.

Jock doesn't even have a beacon.

He's in the ice cave,
and Callie's with him.

How do you know that?

Because jock's voice is the
last thing I heard on the radio.

And if he's down there, he's alive.

How do you know they're down there?

He's my brother.

He's a cocky, immature kid,

but if there's one thing
that's pure about him,

is that he loves your daughter, okay?

If she's with him, she's alive.

Come on, this is... this is your lodge.

You must have walked these grounds.

Let's find the ice cave, okay?

What's the view like from the lodge?

The guests had to have a
clear view of the town below.

We're too low.

We're too low. Too low.

Somewhere here!

It's not right.

We're off. We're off.

He can only guess.

Just trust your gut.

Here.

We dig here.

Over here guys!

We dig here! My brother's here!

Go, go, go! Take the ropes.

Take it. Let's go.

Come on! He's over here!

My brother's over here!

Callie?

Callie, don't do this to me. Not now.

Callie. Callie, wake up.

Hey, you had me scared there.

You okay?

Anna? Anna!

Easy, thom, easy.

Anna...

Okay, hold her head.

Katya, it's me, Boris.

I'm just hearing what
happened on the news.

It's looking like you
were right all along.

I am sending you the latest
satellite images taken over your area.

I'm thinking you better
be looking at them.

Come on.

Please...

My god.

My god.

This is ski rescue, come in, Gunther.

Gunther...

Gunther...

Anyone out there, please come in.

Thom...

Here it comes.

We've got to speed it up a bit.

Come on, let's go. Here we go.

New bucket. Yeah.

Coming down.

Son of a...

We're going to be in here a while.

We have to get Anna out of here.

I know. And we will.

Don't worry.

Look, if I know my
brother, he's up there now.

He's digging US out, okay?

How can you know that?

He's been pulling me out
of tight spots my whole life.

No reason for him to stop now.

Looks like we've got a
lot of debris down here.

Bring me down a bit.

Put me down a bit.

Stop there.

This whole place is going to cave in.

The snow's settling,
but we still have time.

My brother will come.

How can you be so sure?

We have to get out of here now.

No, no, no, don't touch that.

Don't. You'll Bury US all.

Calm down.

We have to conserve the oxygen.

The rescue chopper.

It's coming straight for US.

It's coming in too low.

The snow pack's too unstable.

Thom's going to get buried down there.

Ground to chopper. Back off.

Ground to chopper. Back off.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hold on!

Aah!

I know you heard that.

If we don't start digging
out of here, we'll all die.

I told you my brother's coming.

Your brother thinks
we're all dead already!

No, don't do that! Please don't do that.

You're going to bring
the whole thing down.

Here's to the lives lost,

and here's to the lives spared.

It's not over.

What's not over?

The last avalanche caused
the glacier to fracture even more.

It will go any second.

But it's already happened.

We saw today was a ripple in a pond.

What's coming is a tidal wave.

In '64 we had to run.

I was a young man.

My legs were stronger then.

Shut up, Ivan.

We have to evacuate the town.

It's too late.

It's going to cover the entire valley.

We need to find shelter.

Shelter, where?

The clear sky.

Elkin's hotel?

He said it could withstand an avalanche.

Soon I will find out.

Get thom on the radio.
Tell him what's coming.

He's alive?

Yes, he's alive,

beaten up but still alive.

Then tell him to get off that mountain.

Look, everyone to the hotel, now!

You all right?

I can't...

I can't do this anymore.

Yes, you can.

Pull me up.

Pull me up!

Thom, listen to me.

I was trying to tell you
and Katya about my family,

about my wife.

Pull me up.

I lost her.

I didn't fight for her,

and I've regretted it every
day for the last five years.

If you don't do this right now,

you'll hate yourself
for the rest of your life.

Help!

Help!

Bring me down a bit. Bring me down a bit.

I'm going to need the saw!

Get the saw!

We'll get you out of here,
and we'll get you all fixed up.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, Anna.

Don't worry, we'll be out any second.

It'll be any time now. Just hold on.

It looks like we're past
the worst of the debris.

Beginning to hit ice, though.

Thom!

Did you hear that?

I'm still here.

I found it.

I found it.

I can't breathe anymore.

You listen to me.

We can get through this thing together.

You know, that's all I
wanted, US to be together.

I know.

I was just being scared.

You know, the relationships
around me, they never worked.

They always ended up badly.

My parents...

Thom...

That's why she crushed him.

I guess I was kind of worried
that you'd do the same.

It's okay.

It is.

And that's what I came here
to say to you today, Callie.

Callie, I came to ask for another chance.

Almost there. Almost there.

Hey.

Hey, Callie...

Callie, stay with me.

Come on. Come on, stay with me.

Listen to me...

I love you.

Hey, hey.

I found them. I found them. Over.

He's found them!

Thank god.

I'm going to call down the chopper.

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Yeah, we're okay. We're fine.

But we need to move fast.

Come on!

Lock up the windows. Come on!

Help me!

Door!

So, brother, is it good to be back?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I'm sorry.

It's not like that.

I did what I should.

I've lost nothing.

Quick!

Come on. Let's get him out of there!

We got you.

It's okay.

We got you.

There you go.

Who's next?

Here.

Well done, girl. Well done.

This way. Keep moving down the hill.

Right this way.
