I get it, man.

I'm right there

alongside you, man.

I get it, I miss it too.

All the guys that ever played

miss it.

That's...

That's why I do this stuff.

It gives me that rush back,

that adrenaline,

that feeling I can't get back.

I... I know you miss that, man.

I know you do.

Here, give me that.

Ohh!

God!

Ohh!

Oh, no.

One...

Two...

Aah!

The tram...

Where's the tram?

The tram has gotta be there.

What?

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?!

Damn it!

What do you want from me?!

I'm gonna go this way.

I'm going this way.

I'm going this way.

"The sun

shall not smite thee by day"

nor the moon by night.

The lord shall preserve thee

from all evil.

He shall preserve thy soul.

The lord shall preserve

thy going out

and thy coming in

from this time forth

"and even forevermore."

This is Eric.

Leave a message.

Hi, Eric, it's mom again.

Uh, I just wanna make sure

that you're...

Listen...

About what I said before...

I just want you to know

that I'm here

and that you don't have to

go through this alone.

So call me.

Please.

Okay? Bye.

You're the best thing

in the whole world.

Mama loves you so much.

Two...

Aah!

Aah!

Getting by...

It's a breakaway!

Lemarque! He shoots, he scores!

Goddamn it!

Eric!

Eric, what's going on? Eric?

What's happening down here?

Are you all right?

- Fine, mom.

- What's going on?

Come on, Eric.

You're living down here

for six months,

no job, no money, no nothing

and this is what you're doing,

destroying everything?

You think I wanna be here? Think

I wanna be living like this?

You think I wanna be reminded

of this sh*t every day?!

No, I don't!

No! And I wanna help you.

I'm your mother.

I wanna help you,

but you have to let me in.

A signal.

Maybe if I can get a signal.

They can track me.

Find me.

Come on. Come on.

- Oh, crap.

- Yeah, hello?

- Oh, hello.

- Hello?

Hi, Tony.

This is Susan lemarque.

- I'm Eric's mother.

- Oh, hey.

Yes, hi. I know that we

haven't spoken much,

because, uh, well, anyway,

I know he's talked about you,

about snowboarding.

And, uh...

He's up in winter haven,

or he was

the last time I spoke to him,

but he's missed

a very important court date.

And I'm very worried about him,

and I haven't spoken to him

in six days.

What's this have

to do with me?

I was wondering if he'd

reached out to you.

Yeah, I called him

when he was up there.

You did? Oh, when was that?

It was Thursday.

I see.

Do you have an address for him?

Yeah, let me look.

- Oh, fantastic.

He's at

the winter haven cabin.

Great.

Very easy to find.

- Oh, this is wonderful, Tony.

More than you can know.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, yeah.

Aah!

Oh, please, please, don't let me

find him lying on the floor.

Please.

Eric? Eric?

What?

Eric!

His clothes are still here.

Damn it.

Eric!

- Sarah, risk management.

- Susan.

Nice to meet you.

So, exactly how long has it been

since you last saw your son?

Seven days. I went to

the cabin where he was staying

and there was no phone,

wallet or keys,

but everything else

was there.

And when you last

heard from him,

you're sure he was here?

Oh, yes, yes, he left me

a message.

I just didn't

hear my phone.

Okay, the first thing

we do in this situation

is file a missing persons report

with the sheriff's office.

Then if they don't

have any leads,

I'll call search and rescue.

The process will probably

take about a day or two.

No, no, Sarah,

you don't understand.

My son had a court date

yesterday that he missed. Okay?

And that message he left me,

that was not normal,

him telling me where he was

and what he was doing.

He never does that, never.

You wanna know why

he did it?

Because he

was letting me know

he was gonna make it

to the court date,

he was getting it together.

So when I walk

into that courtroom

and he is not there,

and then I walk into that cabin

and I see his clothes

and old congealed food

sitting there and no him?

I can't wait a day or two,

and if he is out

there in that snow

on that mountain,

neither can he.

Okay, you have a photo?

Yes, yes, I do.

Search and rescue.

Search and rescue? Yeah, this is

rm down at winter haven.

I need to report

a missing person.

What's the name?

- Full name?

- Eric lemarque.

Eric... Eric lemarque.

How long has

he been missing?

- Seven days ago.

- You have a photo?

Yeah, I'm getting

the photo now.

I'm gonna need search and rescue

on the helipad in 15 minutes.

Fifteen, copy.

- Thank you.

You know my son?

- Walk with me.

- You've met my son?

I've met your son, okay?

I gave him a ride up

the mountain seven days ago,

but that's all I know.

Right now I'm just trying

to take precautions.

Corey,

get the whole team searching

for anything with radio comms.

I'm talking about cell phones,

fm/am radios,

anything that's gonna

receive a signal.

You got it.

Hopefully, he'll get

to the top of the mountain.

You think he's up there?

I know he's up there.

- Ready to go?

- Yeah, let's go.

Patrol 1,

search and rescue in progress.

"White male, 6' 3" tall.

Curt, anything come up yet?

Fm, am, cell.

Nothing. T-cast is clear.

We've got 15 minutes

till we lose visibility.

Wait!

Wait!

Wait! Wait!

Aaaah!

Wait!

Aaaah!

Wait!

Wait!

Wait! Wait!

Wait!

Sarah, we have to call it.

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

I'm so sorry.

Mama loves you.

With all her heart.

No.

I can't let her find me

like this.

Hey...

Thought you might want these.

It gets pretty cold up here.

That's very kind.

You must definitely

want that back.

Yes, definitely, thank you.

As soon as the sun comes up,

we'll be back up there.

What about tonight?

What's Eric gonna do

out there tonight?

If I take my team

out there tonight,

this becomes a rescue mission

for more than one person.

I can't risk that,

I'm sorry.

Are you close

with your mother, Sarah?

Sometimes.

Bet you call her

like once...

Every other week or so,

if that much.

I can guarantee you

that those seven minutes

are the highlight

of her month.

Because then she gets to feel

like she's a part

of your life again.

'Cause she still remembers

when you were little

and she would hold you

and sing you to sleep,

and it was the happiest

time of her life.

I just want you

to imagine, god forbid,

something should happen

to you in your line of work

and you were no longer here.

Your mother's life

would essentially be over.

Her heart would be

an empty hole.

I just

need you to understand.

You have to find my son.

Please.

You have to find him.

Gotta make it to the top.

Hey, this has been the coldest

winter we've had in ten years.

Three, four days tops.

That's the longest

someone could survive

out there in these conditions.

I'll call the report in.

Thanks.

Comm center

from life flight.

Go from comm center.

You can cancel

search and rescue.

This is gonna be

a body recovery.

Aaaah!

About 12 more steps.

Aah!

All right, results are in.
