Call of the Wolf Page #3

Expedient snow shoes?

- Mm-hmm.

- Let's do it.

- Just do it.

Okay here, no, no, no, no.

Let me...

- no, we just.

Just give me one second.

It's just that you have

to do a double knot here.

- Yeah, well there's a

way of doing a double knot

and that's just silly.

- This is another knot.

- Fine, it's a double knot.

- Hey, so about last night I'm...

- let's try them, okay?

Come on.

- Oh, oh, oh.

Come here.

Come here!

- What is the matter with you?

That was completely unnecessary.

- I'll take the bait.

- I really don't think...

- you don't think what?

All right, I see

that's the place.

- This doesn't feel right.

- Of course it doesn't.

- Please don't go in there.

- Look, I didn't walk

all the way out here

just for the fun

of it, all right?

Just stay down.

- Listen to me.

- What?

What?

Keep a lookout.

- You won't get far.

- I'm not staying here.

- I told you it was a

bad idea to go there

and I'm telling you it's

a bad idea to leave now.

- Look, he can't track us

in the dark, all right?

That gives us the

advantage, okay?

Gives us a head start.

- I don't wanna go.

- Okay, I don't wanna end up

like those guys in the cabin.

You have to tell me

how to make a fire.

Please.

- What's with the watch?

- Viviana, if I

can't make a fire,

then I'm going to

freeze to death.

- You will anyway.

You're leaving at night.

This is so stupid.

- No, staying here,

that is stupid.

- Leaving at night,

that's worse.

- Tell me how to make a fire.

- Tell me about the watch.

- I don't have time for games.

God!

Why you?

The watch was a present

from my old man all right?

When I got my first job, but

I got fired soon afterwards

so he let me keep

it to remind myself.

- As a reminder of what?

- Of the time.

Jesus are you stupid?

As a reminder that

I screw up everything.

- You have a battery

in your lantern.

- Yeah.

- I'll give you some of this.

- Steel wool?

- Yeah.

You rub them together.

- That's cool.

- Good luck.

- Thanks.

Come on!

Oh god, no.

Oh god.

I'm sorry, god, for...

Everything.

I'm sorry, dad, for being a...

A terrible son.

I'm sorry Rita.

I'm sorry.

Screw it.

Come on.

Viviana!

Viviana!

Help!

- Oh my god, Lester,

are you okay?

- Oh god, it hurts.

- What hurts?

Oh!

- Don't, don't, don't,

don't, don't, don't.

I'm freezing, I'm freezing.

I'm no use.

- It's okay.

Oh my god.

- No, don't

touch.

- I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- Don't, don't

touch it, all right?

- I'm sorry.

Is an idiot.

- I have no idea what you said,

but I'm sure that I deserve it.

All right, you son of a b*tch.

- Busy night?

- I've learned my lesson.

- Well mother nature's

a tough b*tch sometimes.

You gotta watch out for her.

- Why didn't you shoot me?

- It takes a

big man to crawl a mile

on the snow with

a hole in his leg.

Seriously, that's tough.

How's it treatin' ya?

- I'm going to strangle you.

- You got there.

Now I remember once on a huntin'

trip, I busted my ankle...

- I'm going to enjoy

the look on your face

when they shove that

needle in your arm.

I'm gonna sit back

with the biggest smile.

- I remember

once on a huntin' trip,

I busted my ankle now.

I was a long shot off in the

woods with no one around...

- stop with the anecdotes!

Wolf, I'm sorry.

- How is your supplies doin'?

- I don't know, why?

- Well, you shouldn't

be worried about threats,

and much more about a

certain combination lock.

- Combination?

- There's a safe in the closet.

- And you never

look how to open it?

Where do you want me to start?

- I don't care.

- Okay.

I'll start outside.

- Viviana!

- Did you find it?

- No, Viviana, get back inside!

- What?

- Just get back inside!

Please, now!

Come on!

- I'm coming.

- Come on, come on, come

on, come on, come on.

- What happened?

- Nothing, I just I

had a bad feeling.

What?

- I had a bad feeling

yesterday and you walked off.

- Really, really?

That's the productive

thing to say?

- I was trying to help.

- Well, okay then, excuse me.

I'm Viviana, I'm

so smart and strong

and I can handle wolf

by myself, that's fine.

- I was still looking

for the combo.

- Yep, nice and sturdy,

just how I like ya.

Viviana!

Oh Viviana.

Look what I got.

Oh no, what am I

gonna do with this?

Fine.

Guess who found the combination?

Oh, come on.

Oh yes.

Oh my god.

Oh.

Oh Jesus.

Mmm.

Thank you wolf.

- We should have

opened this sooner.

- Oh yeah.

Ouch.

- You need to take

off your pants.

- No.

- How am I supposed

to put the bandage on?

- Just put it on top.

Ow, be careful.

- I'm trying.

- Ah, it hurts!

- Shut up!

- What?

- You hear that?

Do you hear that?

- No way.

- Yeah!

- I was right.

- I don't see anything.

- Hey!

- Where is it?

- Hey!

Help!

Wolf!

Wolf!

Okay, you said he

gave you things.

- He left instructions for me.

- Did you meet him?

If we're gonna beat him,

we have to do it

at his own game.

- He's a very dangerous man.

- He's a dangerous man?

Get out of town, no kidding.

- Would you stop doing that?

- Doing what?

- Talking like that.

- All right, all right,

all right, all right.

Okay.

- He thinks that what

he's doing is right.

- Yeah, well not

dying is right for me,

so I'm gonna do that.

- I woke up in a snow cave.

- Okay.

- That's our exit.

We need to leave now,

we'll make a snow shelter.

- Okay.

Okay, who built your snow cave?

- He did.

- Oh, and how are we

supposed to build it?

- We have the manual.

- Okay, we have the manual.

All right, now all we

need is 100 marines,

a pickax, some shovels, a

bulldozer would be nice.

Okay, look, he's

trained, we're not.

That manual, it might

as well be in Chinese.

- It doesn't matter, I

survived there for two nights.

I know we can do this.

- Look, I tried this

once before, okay?

Look what happened.

I almost died and this time,

we might not be so lucky.

- You left by yourself

and you left at night.

This time we're leaving

together and it's daytime.

We can walk as far as we can

and then we'll find a place

to build a snow cave.

- How am I supposed to trudge

in knee-deep snow with this?

- I'm gonna help you.

You have to listen

to me, Lester.

This is our only chance.

For the first time, we're

gonna be one step ahead of him.

You said it before, we have

to beat him at his own game.

This is it, Lester.

If someone's in fact

looking for you,

he won't let them save you.

He will kill you.

And now that the weather is

changing, we'll have a chance.

He won't be able to track us.

- Just give me a minute.

Okay.

How do you want to do this?

- Together.

I though white people

go camping all the time.

Don't you?

- Racist.

Here you go.

All right, it says that we need

to Criss-cross the branches

for the roof.

All right.

- And then we need younger ones.

- More?

- Yeah, and make them longer.

- Longer? Okay.

- So they go from one

side to the other.

- All right, all right.
