Oh, you motherf***er, bro!

Max!

Max!

Max!

ToTheMax!

Max!

Max!

Max!

Where the f*** are you, bro?!

Yeah, but you know it's...

You are one of the reasons

why I'm flying.

Yeah and I can tell you

that you, like,

really great flyer.

You're a really good jumper,

and it's...

it is good to be around you,

jumping.

I'm not forcing you

to do anything.

If you ask me to take you here,

I'm happy to take you here.

You know the risks involved.

You know what you're doing.

You're a good boy.

Do you want this

more than anything?

- No, that's fine.

- Then you're good.

Then you can do it.

If you want it.

My throat is just like...

Easy.

Yo, hey, ToTheMax. Look at me.

That looks f***ing sketchy.

No, bro it's... it's good.

Maybe we shouldn't

jump today, huh?

Like, bro,

I'm not walking back, huh?

OK, I guess so.

Hey, this is Ash. I can't take

your call right now.

Leave me a message.

Ash, it's, er... It's me.

I was hoping we can talk.

Hey, you.

You're late.

That's a change.

You look good.

Messy hair.

Welcome back.

I missed you, buddy.

Good to see you.

You f***ing disappeared.

I didn't.

Closer than you think.

- Really?

- Really.

Well, you didn't feel it.

Do you think we need

a little bit of strong liquor?

I think you need one.

- Like the car?

- Not bad.

We're gonna burn it one day.

- I'm in.

- You're in.

C'est bon.

- Look at your mascara.

- Ah, f*** you.

Like you've been

rocking all night.

It's what we did, no?

F*** yeah.

I have idea.

Just sober up a little.

- Where are we going?

- You'll see.

- Are we allowed in here?

- Easy, easy, easy.

F***!

So what is this place?

I used to work here once.

Well, you were good

for business.

- Take this.

- This for me, a little toy?

- Yeah.

- Huh?

I am with a psychopath.

I don't know why

he took me here.

I'm f***ing afraid.

I'm f***ing...

I'm going to kill you.

Yeah, well,

I know you're capable.

- One way or the other.

- Oh, really?

Going somewhere, JC?

Come on, come.

Come here, come here, come here.

- Help.

- What are you doing?

- What are you doing?

- I do it for us.

- No.

- I do it for him.

- No, you can't f***ing say that.

- Yeah, I do it for him.

You have no right to say that.

- You have no right.

- I believe.

No. No! No, JC!

- Easy, easy, easy.

- JC, you come back.

This one's for Chico.

JC!

No!

I f***ing hate you!

JC!

Please!

JC!

I f***ing hate you!

I f***ing hate you!

- I'm not jumping.

- I f***ing hate you!

- Come back, come back.

- I f***ing hate you!

I don't wanna see you die.

OK, I'm not jumping.

I'm not jumping.

I'm not jumping.

Sorry.

You know, I mean, for me,

it's not funny.

You think it's funny?

It's beautiful?

For me, this is bullshit.

This is you needing

your f***ing fix!

Huh? On the rooftop.

You boys getting around,

you feel dangerous,

you feel like, I don't know...

You feel alive?

That makes me sick.

That makes me sick.

Take it easy You don't know

what you're talking about.

- I don't?

- No, you don't.

- I don't know?

- You don't know.

I've been dating

for three years,

three years with him,

with the f***ing bullshit

that it's OK, OK?

- "I feel alive, f***ing alive!"

- And what? It is OK.

Not to be like the others

down there.

Not to be like the others

down there.

Because down there

he's f***ing dead.

He's f***ing dead!

And everybody else

will be as well one day!

Sorry.

I wanted to tell her

about Chico.

Then I started falling.

It was just like

stepping off the edge.

Only better.

Fear.

Feel it.

Embrace it.

Play with it.

And then we jump.

- I'm gonna film you if I want

- No.

Are you a mama's boy

or a daddy's boy?

- Oh.

- I'm JC's boy.

Oh.

So sweet.

I reckon a daddy's boy,

a mini-me.

His little buddy.

Are you close?

Yeah, we were, most of the time.

And then, er...

And then?

Then the markets crashed.

Then he did what he did.

After my father died

everything changed.

Everything changed.

Oh, merde!

The two of us used to slide

down this exact path.

He loved this place.

Chico.

Shall we put him to rest then?

Ready?

To fly with him again?

Been a long time.

Been waiting for that.

Here we are, buddy.

Me and you.

Like the good old days.

We're gonna rage.

We're gonna kick it.

We're gonna fly right here.

All right, bro.

I love you.

Dos cervezas, por favor!

Yeah, Chico!

I gotta tell her.

Room service.

What are you doing

in the room on your own?

You OK?

Yeah. Do I look OK?

- You look good.

- OK.

I'm not sure.

I need to...

I want to tell you something,

and I'm not sure how to say.

I'm not sure how to say it.

I'm not sure...

This is eating me up

on the inside,

and I have to show you, OK?

Go for it.

She loves skydiving,

but she doesn't understand

why I keep base jumping

and putting my life

in such a risk.

F***, it's low, huh?

- Yeah.

- Not high.

No.

I don't know, dude.

That looks f***ing sketchy.

No, bro, it's, er... It's good.

- It looks slippy.

- Hombre, cojones!

Where are your balls, bro?

OK, love you.

Love you, bro.

All right, I'm out. Whoa!

Chico!

No!

No. No.

I'm gonna call...

I'm gonna call for help.

You were there.

You were with him.

I know, I know, it's fine.

Why am I here?

I can't...

I mean, I can't be here.

You're supposed to be here.

I'm not supposed to be here.

Yes, you are supposed

to be here with me.

No.

I can't go through that again.

What the f*** am I doing here?

You just gonna end up like him.

You just...

You pushed him!

You f***ing pushed him!

He didn't wanna jump

and he died!

Now I wanna leave.

You let me leave.

I'm gonna f***ing jump

out the f***ing window.

You like that, huh?

You like that, like your dad,

like your dad?

- Want me to jump?

- Sit down.

F***ing move.

You let me go!

- No!

- See!

- No!

- See!

- No!

- See.

Do you f***ing get it? No!

Oh, what the f***

am I doing here?

He left.

Left.

And it's my fault.

F*** it.

F*** it.

F*** it.

Hey.

Thought you were leaving.

I thought too.

Can I have a hug?

I'm so sorry, Ash.

I'm just glad

he wasn't on his own.

And for that I thank you.

Peace.

Hold on to it.

But we can't hold on

to anything.

Look around.

Snow turns to water.

Water to vapor.

Vapor to cloud.

Everything changes.

Wow, wow, wow.

A lot of secrets in that

little camera. Huh?

JC. JC, JC...

Who are you?

I never told you but...

you know when...

when Chico died?

He came back for me.

He came back for me and...

And what we shared...

is crazy, crazy moments,

you know?

You helped me remember.

Remember who I am.

Remember what I can be.

We'll climb down here

and we're there, babe.

Uh-huh.

Oh.

Wow.

- Oh.

- It's OK.

Oh.

OK.

OK.

OK.

Oh.

You can do this, babe.

If you want to.

Oh...

Oh, no, f***.

Oh.

You know, babe,

you don't have to do this.

We can walk back, you know.

You have nothing to prove here.

I know.

It's my choice.

You're sure?

Yeah. I want to do it.

Same as skydiving, huh?
