I've been standing here for over an hour. - Excuse me, excuse me, I'm not in first class. - OK. - I'm on the Denver flight that leaves in 40 minutes. - (Airline Represent) Mm-hmm. - Could you check me in here? I only have a carry-on. - You're not gonna miss it. That flight's been cancelled. If you go right over to customer service, they can help you, I'm sorry. - I told you already, tomorrow morning is the earliest flight I can put you on. - That's not good enough, OK? I'm a surgeon, I have an emergency surgery to perform in Baltimore tomorrow, OK? Look, he's 10 years old. He's a 10-year-old boy. - Mark, I can come straight from the airport if I have to. Emma can meet me there with the dress, and I can just change in the back of a cab. Is my mother there? Oh, Lord. (laughs) I'll be there. Oh, honey, I'll be there, OK? (tones chime) Look, let me go, so I can figure this out, OK, bye. - I'll fly wherever I have to tonight to get there for tomorrow morning. Can you help me? - (Airline Employee) I'm afraid there won't be any more flights tonight because of the storm coming in. - No, you said that. - (Airline Employee) So, I would suggest` - I need to get to Denver for the red-eye. - (Airline Employee) That you get a voucher before the hotels fill up. - Right, OK. - Yes, hold on. Yep, no, it's just me. Could I get a pen? Uh-huh, yes. - (Airline Employee) Hold on, one second, sweetheart. - Sir, sir, I'm sorry. Sorry, I couldn't help hearing. I think we may have the same problem. I'm trying to get to Denver before dark, so I can catch a red-eye to New York. - Yeah, I checked there's no rental cars. I checked for rental cars.

Congratulations. - Oh, no, no! - We're not getting married. - No, we're not together - We just met. - No. - I got a twin on the tarmac, can take two, $800. - Done. - Oh, hey. - Don't worry about him, he loves people. - Oh, yeah, hey! (dog barks) Whoa. (Walter laughs) - I won't be long. You stick with the dog. He'll let you know when I'm ready. (dog growls) - Hey (laughs). We should check the time of the Denver red-eye. - Midnight, gets into JFK about quarter to six. I booked us a couple of tickets. There weren't that many left. - Oh, you did? - Yeah. - Thank you. Filed your flight plan? - No need to it's still light out. I can go VFR. - What about the storm? - We'll beat it out. - You sure? - Flew F-5s into Vietnam. As long as nobody is shooting at me, I'll get you there. - So, what took you to Idaho? - Medical conference. - You live in New York? - Baltimore. - But you're from England, right? - London. I married an American woman. - Oh. - That there is the High Uintas Wilderness, gets over 700 inches of snow a year. Million acres of pure-ass nature. (dog barks) Easy, boy. By the way, I was stationed near London, 48th Fighter Wing at Mildenhall. - Oh, yeah? - Yeah, met the love of my life there. - You did? That's so romantic. Where is she now? (dog whimpers) - (chuckles) Who knows? That was, that was 50 years ago. - Oh, you didn't marry her? - No, she was already married to someone else. - Oh! - Anyway, I'm not the marrying kind. I didn't wanna miss out on anything. - (plane rumbles) - Oh! - You might wanna strap in. - What's that? - It's Candy Crush. - Ah. - I need to occupy my amygdala. That's the reptile brain that looks after` - Yeah, I know what an amygdala is. - What brought you to Idaho? - Shooting skinheads, Neo-Nazis for The Guardian. (camera beeps) - A journalist? - Uh-huh. - That would explain the questions. (dog barks) - Hey, buddy. - Hey, stay out of the food, boy. (thunder rumbles) - Walter, you see that? - Storm must've moved. Salt Lake Centre. Salt Lake Centre, this is twin zero-niner. Uh, (coughs) whiskey-niner. Affirmative. Squawking zero one. (radio static crackles) One. - Walter? - One, one. (plane engine whirs) - Walter? - Shit. - Walter. (dog barks) - Squawking zero, zero-two-zero. - Walter. - I don't, I don't. - Walter. - What's going on? - What's wrong with your hands? I think he's having a stroke. - Oh, my God, is he OK? - I just need you to look at me, Walter. Just look at me. - (plane clacks) - (engine roars) - Shit, oh, my God! (plane beeps) Shit! Jesus Christ. - Walter, Walter? - What do we, what do we do? - Just get on the radio, get on the radio. - This is twin zero` (plane thuds) Oh, my God, Jesus Christ! - OK, Walter. (Walter groans) OK. - Just grab that, grab that! - Oh, my God! Shit! (plane rumbles) The dog, the dog! Shit, oh, God! (screams) Put your seatbelt on. Put your hands behind your head! Put your hand behind your head! Sit back (screams)! (plane crashes) - Alex, Alex. Hey, Alex. (screams) (pants) Yeah, you're there. Shit. (wind howls) (plane creaks) Oh great, you're alive. (dog whimpers and growls) Ah! (groans) (pants) (liquid plops) (wind howls) (phone beeps) (sneezes) (dog whines) (groans) Hey! Hello! Anybody! (dreary music) Anybody. (water sloshes) (dog whimpers) God bless you. (fire crackles) (Alex moans) Hey, hi. Hey, Alex. Hi, Alex? Hi, hey, OK, Alex. - Mark? - Can you look at me? - Left home. - There you go. Oh, thank God. - Mark, where's Mark? - Thank God. - I need my phone! - You want your phone. Alex? Alex, your phone's smashed. My phone has no signal, and we're pretty high up. But we're alive. - Oh, my leg (groans). - Try and sit up, I'll give you some water. - What's your name? - My name? - What's your name? - There you go, I'm Ben. Well done. - What? - I have some Advil in my backpack. - Yeah, you do. I found them when I was changing your trousers. (pills rattle) - Are you OK? - Couple of bruises, few scratches, couple of cracked ribs. I'm OK, I got lucky. - The pilot? - I buried him yesterday. - He, he didn't file a flight plan. - No, no, but there was radio contact. - How long's it been? - 36 hours. There was a thing in the manual about a beacon. - Yeah, it would've been in the tail. God knows where that ended up. Oh, Jesus, Mark has no idea where I am. He'll be going out of his mind. - OK, OK. Someone is definitely coming to get us. We've got plenty of water, as long as we can melt the snow. We've got four packets of almonds, couple of candy bars, a half-eaten sandwich, and some cookies. That should hold us until we're rescued. - What kind of cookies? - What? - Joke. (OPERA MUSIC PLAYS TINNILY) I want the blue one! I want the blue one. So looking for a car? Who for? For me. My daughter. Lovely colour, isn't it? Give ya a bit of a rundown on this car. Is it your first car? You're the boss? Or is Dad the boss? Me. This car, as you can see, you got the airbag at the front. Yup. But this car doesn't have airbags on the side, um, of the... It's got a 1-star safety rating. Very low protection in a head-on crash, so this engine's gonna come all the way up to meet you. Bang! Snap the neck like that. (WHIMPERS SOFTLY) And then you'll be` stop talking ` really quiet, and then no more chatterbox, like you were before.

(OPERA MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING TINNILY) * (groans) (groans) (plane whirs) - Plane, plane. I need the flare, flare! - Ben! - Quick! - Alex, give me the flare gun. - In here, here, take it! (dog barks) No, wait, wait, it's empty! (gun clicks) - Ben! - I need a flare. - Here! (dog barks) Quick, hurry! (tense music) (flare gun whooshes) Hey! Down here, down here! - They can't hear you. - I know! It's, it's, it's just what you do. OK. We're down to the rule of three. We can go three weeks without food, three days without water` - What? - Three minutes without air. Let me help, let me help. - You wanna help? This is how you help, you stay off the leg. That would help you, and it would definitely help me. Please? - Anything that will burn. - Here. - You took these? - Uh-huh. - They're good. I'm sorry you missed your wedding. - I can't stop thinking about him not knowing I'm alive. - You told him you were chartering a flight, right? - No, I was gonna call him when we got to Denver, and have him be all proud of me for figuring it out. I would've got there, even if it meant rushing down the aisle like, like Dustin Hoffman in "The Graduate." - Someone's gonna find us. - You called someone. You called your wife, right? - No. - Nobody? - I think Dustin Hoffman was trying to stop the wedding in "The Graduate." - What? - He was banging on the window. "Elaine!" - Yeah, yeah, I remember now. (dreary music) - Yeah, yeah? - I have to pee. - You have to what? - I have to pee. - Need help with your trousers? - No. Yeah. - Scoop your bum. - (groans) Thanks, thanks. I got it, I got it, thank you. (urine tinkles) OK. Ben. - It looks pretty healthy. - Cool. - What are you doing? - It's been three days. (dog whimpers) We're down to individual almonds. We should get moving. - No, it's just best we stay here, yeah? - Oh God. - You're not gonna get far with that leg. - No way, I'm not staying here, come on. - I see, there's no, Alex, stop! - Then you go. - Huh, I can't go! You wouldn't, you wouldn't, you wouldn't make it without me. - And I'm still telling you to go. - How hard is it for you just to sit still? Alex, OK, OK, OK. There's a ridge up there. I'll hike it, climb it, and see if I can see a road or anything, OK? - OK. - Wait, wait, wait, take this. You can use the telephoto. You'll be able to see farther. Hey. It's OK if you don't come back. - What? - I got you into this, so I'll understand. - Alex, if I wanted to leave, I would have left three days ago. (gloomy music) - Oh, yeah. Oh! (dog whines) How do I look? (gravel clatters) Mmm. (dog whines) Stop. If I can't have it, you can't have it. - Shit. - OK. Let's see. She's pretty. Don't look at me like that. (bird squawks) (recorder beeps) - Date, July 7th, endoscopic-assisted management. (recorder beeps) - Hey, Ben, surprise! I can't believe you left your little recorder unattended. It's very unlike you. I know you like to keep control of things. Mmm, maybe that's unfair. I've already said this, but I wanted you to have it for good. I'm happy that we've had this time together, no matter how bad things have gotten. (recorder beeps) (Alex sighs) (Ben screams) (tense music) (dog barks) - Ben? Ben? Ben! (footsteps patter) (footstep thud) (dog barks) OK, stop, stop, stop, stop. Oh, my God! Jesus Christ, what the hell is that? What is that? (cougar growls) Oh, my God. Shit! No, quiet, quiet, stop! Stop! Hey, hey! Hey, come back, come back, come back! (animals growl) (dog whimpers) (dog barks) (cougar growls) (flare gun whooshes) (cougar whimpers) (suspenseful music) - Alex! Hey! (dog whimpers) What happened? - It was a cougar. Can you help him? God. - Oh, oh, wow. - Jesus. (dog yelps) - OK, all right, OK. - Easy, easy, easy. It's OK, it's OK, it's OK. - You OK? - I'm OK. - How did he get in here? - No, I, well, he did, he didn't get in. I, I, yeah, I got the, I grabbed the flare. - Flare? - Yeah. - OK. - He almost, this boy almost got it. - Wait, you really shot that cougar with a flare? - Uh-huh. (dog whimpers) Did you check your phone? - There's nothing. (Alex grunts) - What's your wife's name? - Sarah. - I hope I get to meet her. She must be so worried about you. Oh, God. Do you have kids? - No. Don't eat too quickly. Your stomach could cramp up. - You know, that was a close one. - That should last us for about 10 days which is great, because we're stuck here. - I was thinking, if we could get down low enough, maybe we could get enough signal on your phone. - No, no, forget the phone, there's no signal. I think the search and rescue probably` - Well, they haven't found us yet, so` - I know, but they're less likely to find us if we leave here. They'll be focusing their search on the beacon. - Jesus Christ, Ben. - No, there's a system here, Alex. - Yeah, systems fail all the time. They haven't found us. We have to get going. You know, you wanted to wait, I waited. - Alex, honestly, it's too dangerous, OK? I nearly fell off a cliff, OK? I honestly nearly died. If we stay here, we're safe, if we leave` - Look, I don't wanna die up here because you're too scared to take a risk. - Hey, I'm not gonna fall off a mountain because you're reckless and selfish. - What? - You know what? You're absolutely right. You did get me into this. - (scoffs) I was trying to be nice. - Wait a second. - I was trying to help! - No. - I was trying to help you. - No, hold on, hold on a second. You weren't trying to help me, you just` - You know, I could be married by now. Do you ever think about that? - Is that what we're talking about, your ceremony? - My God, poor Mark! - What about my patient? You think about that? Yeah, do you think about my patient? You're the lucky one. Unlike me, I'm stuck with you. I would've had a much better chance if I didn't have you around, honestly. * - OK. Let's go. He's probably gonna eat you, anyway. (dog whines) We'll find something, just keep walking. - Alex! (uneasy music) No. - OK. Hey. Smile. (camera clicks) (plane whirs) (groans) (captivating music) Don't give up. Don't give up (moans). - Alex! (dog barks) Alex! You could have said goodbye. - I had to try. I had to try my way. - I'm just so glad I found you. I'm just so glad I found you. - Me too. So do we go back? - No, we wouldn't make it back. We have to get down to the tree line, keep moving. - OK, OK. - OK, tell me something, tell me something. - What? - Tell me about your wedding. - My wedding? - Yeah. - Didn't you hear? I missed it. (Ben chuckles) Yeah. No, I can't talk. You tell me something. Tell me, what, what kind of a doctor are you? - Um, I'm a neurosurgeon. - Oh, yeah? Yes. Yeah, brains, why brains? - It's an intense responsibility, you know, to cut into someone's brain. It's where their perceptions are, intelligence, their emotion. - What about the heart, huh? - The heart's nothing but a muscle. (intriguing music) That's it, boy. We made it to the tree line. Let's find shelter. (wind howls) (dog barks) I think something's here. This cave will work. - Yeah, yeah. - Here. - Ah. - I know. - Oh, jeez. It's freezing. - Quite a bit of swelling there. - Any better? - Yeah, that does look better. Look at that bandage. - Yeah. - It's holding up actually. - Hey, you know what would be funny? If you weren't really a doctor. - Why would that be funny? - Well, you'd just be doing all this so you could see my fancy underwear. - They're not that fancy. All right. - Thank you. - It's OK. - Where's your gloves? God, Jesus, shit, you're freezing. Here, come on. There. Better? - I owe you an apology. I did find that beacon. - I saw it. - It was smashed to pieces. - Yeah, well, you didn't know that when you came looking for me, did you? - I think we should stay together. I mean, stick together. - Mm-hmm. - Yeah. 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 cos I don't wanna be left on this mountain by myself. - Hmm. Me neither. - You wouldn't eat me, would you, boy? (dog growls) - (moans) I don't want. - Alex. - (gasps) Woo. - You were talking in your sleep. - 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. - Ooh. Thank you. (gentle music) Plans for the holidays? I'm starting my kitchen renovation.

(camera whirs) - 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've 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. (riveting music) - Come on, buddy. (dog barks) - Let's try to get there before it gets dark. That's it, up, up, up. (Alex coughs) Good, good, good, OK. (Alex sighs) (Ben grunts) 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. - OK, OK. - Then we'll stop. Oh, shit. - 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. - Look, 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` - Last time, what do you mean, the last time I thought? - Last time I thought, I was trusting my instincts, you know. - Alex. - I was trusting my gut, my heart. - Calm down, just calm down, all right? Let's just think about this logically. There's no actual way` - Stop! I'm scared. OK, 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, sometimes` - But right now` - Right now, we don't have a choice, OK? Nobody knows where we are. All we have is me and you, that is it, Ben. - I don't want to die, OK? - Tell me, doctor, from your heart. Do you, do you actually think we're gonna make it? - No. My instinct tells me that we're gonna die up here. But we do have a choice. And we're still alive. Here we go, there we go. We're both tired. - Sorry. - Just get on with it now, yeah? We just have to get on with it. - Yeah. - OK. We must be a couple of thousand feet downhill by now. - Your phone, we should check, we should check it. - My phone. - We should just see how much juice you have left. - There is no reception, haven't got much battery left. - You were listening to something at the airport. - Probably shouldn't` - Could you just, for one minute, please just, just give us 1%? (phone beeps) Just 1% of something. ("Sonata for Violin and Keyboard in B Minor") * - Are we still headed towards the flash you saw? - Yeah, it's way down this way. (both grunt) I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. - Just look how beautiful that is. I want you to take a picture of me. - What? - I want you to take a picture of me. If I'm gonna die, I want this to be my very last picture. - I can't. - I want you to take it. How do I look? - I was halfway through an assignment, um. I got close to, to a group of girls, guerrilla fighters. You know, they, they let me follow 'em. There was this one girl, she, she told me all about this boy she liked, and, you know, and I gave her my lipstick. Then, there was an explosion and she was badly injured. I was there. I went to help her. She was still breathing then, but she was beyond hope. I, I went into my bag to get out my camera. She looked at me. I looked at her. I took her picture. And then she died. I can't take your picture, I'm sorry. - We're not gonna die. Not today. (tender music) (Ben grunts) - Where are we going? (Ben) We're alive, that's where we're going. - We've been walking for three days. We haven't found anything. - Let's hope this valley leads us there. - Can we stop for a minute? - Yeah. That's it. - Jeez, thank you. - Just put your leg up. OK? - Yeah. - How about an ice-cold drink? - Sure. Thank you. - How about some ice with that? - You're funny. I am getting used to the cold, though. - Yeah. - Which is weird. - Yeah, well, your body, your body's acclimatising. It's quite ingenious, what God did. Your body sort of figures it out. - Where's the dog? - We can't call him cos we don't know his name. You're going to ask me to go look for the dog, aren't you? (riveting music) Yeah. - Oh, come on, man. - Come on, man (coughs). Hey! (dog whimpers) Here, boy. What are you doing? (dog barks) What are you eating? Been holding out on us? (ice crackles) - Ben? (knocking on door) - Hello? Nobody here? - Hey, Ben! (ice creaks) Ben! Ben? (shouts) - Alex, Alex! (grunts) Come on! Come on! Come on! Shit! Come on. Alex! (water sloshes) OK. (piano clangs) I'm scared. And if you don't wake up soon, I think I warmed you up too fast. You're severely dehydrated. (tense music) I found a syringe of medicine for snake bites. emptied it out, and jerry-rigged an IV of saline fluid. Now, it could go wrong, Alex, infection or something, but I think you'd want me to do this. I know you would. You'd tell me trust my instincts or something. (piano clangs) (dog whines) (piano clangs) (dog whines) (Alex moans) Alex. - Did we get rescued? - No, no, we didn't. Thank God you're back. This is that cabin you saw. - Can you help me pee? - I thought you'd never ask. You're gonna feel a bit dizzy. - OK. - OK. (tender music) - You should have some. - I have. - Thank you. So, so, tell me something. What else happened when I was away? - Well, you didn't miss much. Snowdrifts are 10-feet deep. I know, cos I was nearly buried in it twice. But I did find two cans of soup. - What happens now? - We just have to wait for a break in the weather. Then at least we can see where we're going. - Hmm, it's January. How long can we survive on two cans of soup? Ben, we've been lost almost three weeks. Don't you wanna get home? - I'll find a way. * (Ben grunts) (dog whines) (dog barks) Hey! - (Sarah On Recorder) Hey, Ben. Surprise. - Get it, boy! Grab that rabbit, go on! Go on, boy! (dog barks) Where'd he go? Get him! No. (dog growls) You got it, come on. Did you get him, huh? Dig! - (Sarah On Recorder) I can't believe you left your little recorder unattended. I know you like to keep control of things. - Ugh. OK. Come on. Ah, bullshit! OK, you tried. - (Sarah On Recorder) But I wanted you to have it for good. (door clangs) No matter how bad things have` (recorder beeps) - I'm, I'm sorry. - What are you doing? - I'm. - What are you doing? - I, I shouldn't have done that, Ben. - Jesus, Alex. - I'm really sorry. - I turn my back for two minutes, and you go through all my stuff, is that it? - No, that's not it, that's not it. I just, I just, we might die together. And I don't even know you. - You wanna get to know me? Play it. (gripping music) Check it. (recorder beeps) - (Sarah On Recorder) I'm happy that we've had this time together, no matter how bad things have gotten. And I'm sorry that I'm leaving. I'll always love you. You just, this is not something that you can control. Love you, bye. (recorder beeps) - I want you to know this was a really unfair way of me trying to understand who you are. And I'm sorry. - I haven't heard that message in two years. (door thuds) I'm gonna go cut more wood. I'm not like you, Alex. I still can't talk about it. - Mmm. (Ben sighs) (delicate music) (camera clicks) - Morning. Ben, I've been thinking. There has to be a road. We must be close to something. - I'm trying to find us a way. - You'll make it faster if I stay here. - I don't wanna leave you here. I might not even make it. - You have to. We can't just stay here. - Alex, my wife didn't leave me the way you think she did. We were married happily for eight years. She got sick, a brain tumour. My wife became my patient, and I couldn't save her. She died. - I'm so sorry. (melancholy music) * (melancholy music) (melancholy music) (melancholy music) (wind blusters) (dramatic music) (dramatic music builds) - Alex, you're coming with me. I'm gonna get you home. - I'll slow you down. - I can't leave. - What? - Not without you. (stirring music) (Alex moans) (Alex grunts) - Ah! I can't, I'm sorry.

(machines thud) Alex, do you see that? - Yeah, I see. - Alex. - I see it, I see. Oh, God. Ben? - I know. Won't say anything. I won't say anything. (Alex sobs softly) - Where's the dog? - He'll find us, come on. Ugh! Come here, boy! Walter's dog, come here! Hey, buddy, come here. What are you doing? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! No, come here, now, now, here! See what that is? We gotta go, let's go, there you go. We need to get out of here. We're almost home. - (trap clangs) - (Ben screams) - Ben? - Alex! - Ben! (Ben screams) Ben? (Ben screams) Oh God, oh my God, oh! Jesus, Jesus. - Alex. - Jesus Christ. What, what are we gonna do? (Ben screams) - No, no, Alex, Alex, please, no, no, just, Alex. (metal clatters) Ah, Alex! Go get, go get, go get help. - OK. OK. (tense music) (machines beep) (Alex moans) (truck rumbles) Stop! Stop! - Alex?

You, can you believe it? - Yeah. - Your hands, let me see. Look at your hands. - I know, I won't be, I won't be knitting for a while. - I feel alive. I feel alive because of you. - Yeah. (toilet flushes) - Oh, I want you to meet Mark. (door thuds) - You're Mark. - Yeah, Ben, right? - Yeah. - Oh, man, uh. Yeah, I can't begin to, thank you. - Yeah. - Yeah, OK, babe? - Yeah, so, this is Ben. - Yeah, I know, I know. - Wow, it's Mark, good, it's good to, uh, it's good to meet you. - Alex told me how you saved her life. - Yes, no. No, you saved my life, Alex. - Ben, Ben. It's true. - Yeah. Um, they're chasing me, I need to go back, OK? - Careful, here you go. (sombre music) (Ben sobs softly) * (gentle music) - Come here, come here, come here. Go on. Mrs. Qabbani, how are you? Are you feeling better? How is your arm? Let me see. - We're really serious about this type of criminality. Yes, but in the end, that won't matter, for the public and businesses when shopping online. Retailers are highly impacted by retail crime. And we estimated cost to be somewhere around 1.3 billion pounds, which will impact everyone, including. (dog whines) - Don't leave me. - I'm not, it's our party. - I know, but, you know, I don't wanna be, I just don't wanna be by myself. - These are our friends to welcome you. - Everybody OK, you all have drinks? Need anything? - Could use a little ice, actually, if you don't mind. - Oh, that's really funny. (chuckles) Oh, Pam, hi, how are you? - I'm fine, dear. - Great to see you, mwah. - Look at you, you look wonderful. - Thank you. - You know, I don't want to pry, I don't want to be inappropriate, but I'm sure that you took some pictures during your ordeal. - Oh, um. - This is an amazing story, and I expect those photos are amazing, too. I really think people would like to see them. - Well, I, you know, Pam, I'm not really, I'm not really ready for that. - Will you think about it? - Yeah, sure, yeah. Yeah, I'll think about it. (melancholic music) (rain patters) (phone rings) (phone beeps) Hi, Ben, it's Alex again. Just calling to say hi, try me back. - Tell you what, we'll skip out early, you know, once the thing's over. We can leave before the reception. Hey. - What? - It's all right. - Was, did you? - Yeah, no, I was just talking about the fund-raisers. - Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry. - Alex, I, I get that you haven't wanted to talk about this, but I, I know what I'm in with you. I always told myself I'd, I'd get some call from somewhere. So I made a deal with myself, that I would always love you, even if you came home missing a piece of yourself. (Alex coughs) (Alex gasps) (tender music) (phone rings) - Hello? Hi, I'm sorry I'm later than I` - You look brand-new. - Oh, so, so do you. - How are you? - Yeah, good. - Sit down. - Can I get you something to drink? - Oh, no, just water's fine, thanks. So, how are you? - How are you? How's your leg? - How's yours? - Yeah, I can't run, but I get by. I kept the dog. - Oh, yeah? - Yeah. - So what'd you call him? - Um, dog, he still (laughs). - No (laughs). - He still doesn't have a name. You look, you look, you look beautiful, Alex. - Thank you. How is everything? - Um, good, I'm working with people more. Post-trauma patients, you know, the extreme cases. I sort of float between a NHS clinic and a rehabilitation centre in South London, where I live now. It's good to be home. - No more surgery? - No, no, I can't do that anymore. And you, how are you? - I'm OK, too, yeah, I, I came home and everything had shifted, but I kind of had to wait it out, but it's OK, no more conflict zones. And the last thing I feel like doing is getting on a plane. So I'm teaching now, part-time, staying closer to home. - Yeah. How was it, how was the wedding? - Oh, we didn't have one. - What? What, you didn't? - No. I couldn't. Mark is a really wonderful man, but, but I, I couldn't. - I'm really sorry, Alex, that's, (sighs) why didn't you tell me? - You're not that great at picking up the phone. - Are you guys hungry? - No. - I didn't pick up my phone cos I thought you were married, Alex. I thought you were married. - You could have called back. - It was hard enough for me to lose Sarah. I struggled with the idea of losing you, too. And then when you sent those photographs, I, uh, I felt alive. I really did, I, we made it, you and I. And I had to see you. - I loved you on that mountain. I tried to pretend that I didn't, but I did. I came home and nothing was the same. And then I tried to reach you, and it, it was so, it was just too painful. So I had to make myself accept that maybe it wasn't real, and it would never work, not in real life. (water sloshes) Thank you. There's a moment for these things, and then it, it passes. Hey, so, could you, could you give the dog a name? He kind of deserves it. - I think you're wrong, Alex. I think we survived because we fell in love. - Up there it was just, it was just me and you. The world is bigger than that. And the heart is just a muscle, right? - What idiot said that? (gentle music) (Alex sobs)
