Alive Page #4

If I do die and you don't eat me,

I'll come back and kick your ass!

That's a good one.

Take my hand and pledge with me.

Whoever dies, agrees...

use my body as food.

- All right.

- I pledge...

- I agree.

- Me, too.

- I'm in...

- Me, too.

I'm thinking.

Yeah.

Can you just promise, if you eat me,

that you clean your plates?

God bless you all.

- How's your stomach?

- Fine.

Let me see.

- Looks great.

- Told you.

You should be dead.

- So what do you think, Tintin?

- I think we should eat.

If we do this,

we'll never be the same again.

It's like Communion.

From their death, we live.

People will understand.

This should be good for the cutting.

All right. Give me that.

It's very difficult to cut.

The meat's almost frozen.

I'm going to eat this piece.

Somebody take this.

Someone take this and eat it.

Come on!

I tell you, if I have meat in

my belly, I intend to do something.

Where were you?

- You didn't take from my sister?

- No.

It wasn't a woman.

I don't know who it was.

How are the others eating?

- One by one.

- Good.

I'll do what I can.

I'm strong when I'm strong.

When I'm not, it's your turn.

God, she was so beautiful.

Son of a b*tch! They went without me?

You can't go till you eat.

- They've gone to look for the taiI.

- The batteries! To work the radio!

Can't see them any more.

Look at that!

Tonight, we pray for the climbers,

that they come back to us.

- So you pray too, Fito.

- I told you, I'm an agnostic.

HaiI Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with Thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women, and

blessed is the fruit of thy womb...

Eat this. Eat it!

You think they're OK?

No. The way they were dressed...

Had to be 35, 40 below last night.

They're dead.

- It's the sun.

- No, we're dreaming.

What...?

It's the sun. Thank God!

Look! It's a seat from the plane!

It's heavy. Help me!

Ready? Go!

He must've burned.

What are you doing?

I'm taking his wallet

and things for his mother.

There's more over here.

This accounts for those that are

still missing. Altogether three.

- My feet are starting to freeze.

- We should go back.

Do you want to try something?

Why does it smell so bad

even after you clean it?

It's the infection.

I'll clean it again tonight.

Don't look so downhearted, Roberto.

Take a lesson from Alberto.

Nothing stops him.

I have abandoned the Church of Rome

in favour of Utopia.

Good for you, Alberto.

And for my part, my name is

Federico Aranda and I will return.

How is Federico?

He has gangrene, I think.

I know Alberto does.

Look at this! Look at this!

Watch out!

Watch out!

They didn't die, Roberto.

Anything is possible.

There was a piece of the wing.

The taiI must be up there somewhere.

Here's the plan.

We pick a team to go after the taiI.

- I'll go.

- Me, too.

We give the team the biggest

rations and warmest clothes.

Then in a week, we go find the

batteries and start the transmitter.

- It gets cold up there.

- I couldn't do it again.

Me neither.

I need more money.

Here.

I wish we could have

a fire every night,

and that someone would go for pizza.

- I'll pay if you go.

- No, I insist. I'll pay, you go.

I feel God has taken care of us.

Don't you feel it? A sense of fate?

I feel a sense of fate.

I wanted you all to know...

if I die, you have my permission...

You can eat me.

If anybody could hear this!

Sit down, Antonio.

Coche, it's too bad

you didn't play the cello!

- What?

- I've decided something.

- What's that, sweetie?

- I want to have another baby.

This experience... It's made me feel

the miracle of life so deeply.

It's not that, my dear.

It's just that you're not eating.

If you don't eat, how will you live?

You're right.

I'll eat some. I'll do it.

I'll eat tomorrow.

Yeah. I'll eat tomorrow...

God bless you.

- Where is everyone?

- I don't know.

Shine the light over here.

Avalanche!

I can't see!

You all right? Who is it?

Help!

- Here's somebody! Here's somebody!

- Go, go, go!

Hold on!

I'll get... Lilliana! Help me!

For God's sake, help me get my wife!

Please don't take her from me now!

He's breathing. Nando!

- Keep digging. Please, Nando!

- Get him out!

Pull! Pull him out!

Eight are dead.

Eight of us are dead.

We can't go out. There's a blizzard.

Let me see.

Listen, today is Rafael's birthday.

- So?

- We've got to observe his birthday.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Rafael

Happy birthday to you

Make a wish.

A wish?

I just wish this was over.

- It's still snowing.

- It's a blizzard.

You're not gonna believe this.

- What?

- Today is my birthday.

Happy birthday, dear Carlitos

I love you all so much.

Happy birthday to you

And my wish... my wish...

Tonight, we say the rosary

for the living and for life itself.

That we have survived a plane crash,

starvation and an avalanche...

And tonight, Fito, no more kidding.

You've got to pray with us.

I'm not saying no rosary, Carlitos.

I'm an agnostic.

- What's that?

- My God, it's another avalanche!

HaiI Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with Thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women and

blessed is the fruit of thy womb...

Light.

Good morning, Carlitos.

Good morning, my friends.

Do you know what today is?

- No. What?

- Today is my father's birthday.

My father is an artist,

a painter and a bit of a madman.

And now in my heart,

I do believe I'll see him again.

- Do you feel it?

- What?

God. God is everywhere today.

Over here! I'm here!

This is where the dead were.

Gone under the snow now.

It's about the closest

they'll get to a burial.

- I'm worried about Eduardo.

- Why?

He's losing his spirit.

- When are we going?

- Fifteenth.

- The fifteenth passed by.

- The fifteenth of next month.

That's too long.

Winter's ending, nights'll

get shorter. We'll have a chance.

- Why are you crying?

- Because I am so close to God.

It's OK.

So beautiful.

It's beautiful.

Wake up, please.

Wake up, everyone.

My name is Federico Aranda,

and I have to tell you

that Alberto Antuna,

a brave boy, is dead.

He was 21 years old.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.

Let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace. Amen.

- This should be enough to eat.

- We should wait a few more days.

- Why?

- It'll be warmer.

I waited. On the 15th and 16th,

you said the weather was no good.

I've been waiting on you for four

weeks. Put your pack on, this is it.

All right.

How are you doing, Federico?

Very well, Nando.

Good luck on your journey.

Thank you.

They tell me you won't eat, Javier.

It's up to you

if you want to get out of here.

Perhaps...

Forget your wife! Forget her!

Remember your living children!

Will you eat?

I'll eat.

Good.

- Stay well, Federico. Pray for me.

- I will.

We'll find the taiI

and bring the batteries.

- And if you don't?

- We keep going.

- Where? Through the mountains?

- We'll find the taiI.

- Got the radio out?

- Just about. There's a lot of wires.

- We'll figure it out.
