Everest Page #6

I saw 'em.

Don't worry,

I won't tell Krakauer.

Well done, mate.

I had a mixed bag.

I'll have to give you this year.

Scott, you really don't look too good.

- Lopsang.

- Yeah?

Come on, mate,

let's get him down.

All right.

Let's go.

Harold. What are you doing?

I'm just trying to sort the O.

I can't find any full ones.

There's full bottles,

I saw 'em on the way up.

No.

No, I'm pretty sure,

you should have another look.

No, I just have,

they're not full.

Harold, listen, I saw...

Look, mate,

I checked twice, all right?

Yeah. All right, man.

I'm going down.

Harold?

Doug, Doug, Doug.

It's over, mate.

What?

I'm sorry.

No, no, no.

Doug, you're too late, okay?

You guys keep going,

mate, I'll catch up.

Doug, Doug.

Doug, listen to me.

- It's way too late. It's over.

- No, come on!

Listen to me, mate, I'm sorry,

but I gotta turn you around.

Okay?

I can do it.

It's right here, man.

It's right here.

I'm not coming back next year,

man, it's my last chance.

You gotta let me do this.

Let me do this.

Okay.

Please, Rob.

Let's do it.

Let's get it done.

All right.

Come on.

Thanks, man.

Come on, Doug.

There ain't no hope of getting

My double-wide trailer

There ain't no...

Beck?

Are you okay?

Who is that?

It's Jon.

I'm not seeing too well, Jon.

I'm freezing.

Mike's just behind me.

He's back there with Yasuko.

You'll be okay.

Mike's right behind me.

You're okay?

I'll see you down there.

There she is.

Ten more steps, mate.

Dig deep, Doug, dig deep.

There you go.

There ya go.

You made it!

Huh?

You did it!

Because of you, man.

Guy to Rob, you read me, mate?

Guy to Rob, are you there?

For the school kids.

Good on you, Doug.

Come on.

Easy.

Here, I got it.

Come on, let's get you up.

Need more O.

No, Doug, we can't

give you more O.

We gotta get down to

the South Summit, come on.

Guy Cotter to Everest Base Camp.

You there, Helen?

Guy, this is Helen,

how's it going?

Yeah, fine.

I got a clear view of the summit

and we've still got

climbers up there.

They're not any of ours, right?

We got three up,

and they're all on their way down.

Well, what are they

doing there so late?

They had a 2:
00 turnaround time,

they're way past it.

Yeah,

we got cloud coming up through the valley,

it's a lot of it.

Thanks, I'm calling

them now, Guy.

Rob, come in, this is Helen.

Rob, come in, this is Helen.

Whoa!

Easy, easy, easy, Dougie!

There you go.

There you go.

Looking good.

Round the corner.

That's it.

Rob, is that you?

Beck?

It's Mike, Beck.

What are you doing here?

I can't see, it's bad.

You guys all right?

We got a problem with Beck.

Hey, Mike,

we're getting low on O. We gotta move.

Gonna get you to stand up, okay?

I'll take Yasuko.

That's it.

I got you.

You're okay.

Doug, come on!

Come on!

I'm cold.

Mike, Harold, Ang Dorjee,

put the brakes on, guys,

we got a problem.

We're out of gas, Doug.

We're out of gas.

Need to keep moving, come on.

Come on!

Mike, Harold, do you copy?

I need someone...

I need someone to come back up

with oxygen, over.

Somebody, please,

I'm begging you.

Doug, come on, mate, come on!

Harold, do you copy, over?

Has anyone got

eyes on Ang Dorjee?

Mate, I've just had Ang Dorjee

go past me, heading down, over.

He's going down.

Can you stop him,

can you turn him around?

I need someone to

come back up now.

Hey, Ang Dorjee!

Ang Dorjee!

Base Camp, do you copy, over?

Helen to Rob, go ahead.

Helen, please.

I need a bottle of gas

at the top of the Hillary Step.

I can't get him down without it.

I'm really stuffed.

Understood that you

need a bottle of oxygen

at the bottom of

the Hillary Step.

We are sending it up to you,

as soon as we can.

At the top, at the top.

The last thing I said

to Ang Dorjee was

"Please, leave two bottles

of gas at the South Summit."

Yes.

Copy that, Rob.

Boys,

there's oxygen at

the South Summit, right?

No, Rob, this is Harold.

There's no oxygen

at South Summit.

Repeat, no O.

Ang Dorjee stashed

four bottles there, Harold.

Harold, where are you?

Can you hear me, Harold?

Harold!

Harold, can you hear me?

Think it'll take me about

half an hour to get

back up to the South Summit.

Okay, I'm coming.

If you don't have oxygen, mate,

don't come up, don't come up.

We're moving on.

I'm coming up to you, Rob.

Doug, come on, mate, come on!

Rob, this is Base Camp.

I copy you, Caro.

Rob, can you get yourself down?

Caro, we're not

at that point, yet.

Rob, can you let us

know who you're with?

I'm with Doug.

We're both listening.

Come on, Dougie, come on, mate.

One more effort, come on.

Rob, what is

Doug's state of consciousness?

He's really weak.

He collapsed after

we ran out of oxygen.

Okay,

give him eight milligrams of dexamethasone.

That's two tablets, Rob.

Guy to Rob.

Go ahead, Guy, I got you, mate.

Rob, I suggest you

get yourself down.

You know you're

doing no good up there.

Now, we've got people that

we can send up to help Doug

but you've gotta get yourself down,

do you understand?

I mean, come on, man,

we're playing with a man's life here.

There's no way I'm

leaving Doug behind.

We gotta keep moving, mate.

No, we gotta keep moving,

we're in some trouble.

Yeah, Helen's gonna

need some help

so I'm gonna try and make my way back.

Okay?

All right. Go on.

Hey, Scott.

Scott! You okay?

Lopsang.

Lopsy!

I'm done, pal.

I'm done.

You go, send Anatoli...

Send Anatoli back with some O.

Okay.

Go!

Okay.

I will send back Anatoli.

Let's go.

You go down.

No, mate.

No, I'm not

leaving you behind, Doug.

Come on!

Gotta rest.

No, Doug, come on,

you're coming with me!

I need 10 good minutes,

Doug, come on!

Please, Dougie, come on, mate.

Ten minutes. We'll get

to the bottom of the Step.

Come on, this leg.

This leg, Dougie, come on!

Come on.

There we go.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Hold that down. Come on, come on!

Get those chairs!

No, no, no, no.

Come on, Dougie!

Doug, let's go, hurry up!

Doug! I'm gonna go to the

South Summit to get oxygen.

Okay, mate?

Gonna find oxygen.

But you've gotta stay here!

Okay? Stay here!

Don't move!

I'll be back!

Hey, Rob.

Beck! Stop!

That's the wrong way!

Stop!

Back! Turn back!

Beck, easy!

Rob!

Harold!

Harold!

Rob!

- Harold?

- I've got oxygen!

Here, I found some

half-empty ones.

Where's Doug?

Doug's gone.

He's what?

Gone!

Camp Four's that way!

Get up!

Let's go!

Come on! Beck!

I'll get help!

Here!

- Toli!

- Where are the others?

They're still out there.

Jon! I need help!

What?

They're out there, I need help!

I can't see, Toli.

I'm snow-blind.

Beck, Doug.

They need help.

They're still outside...

I go find them!

You stay here!

Good job.

Toli!

Sandy needs O!

Sandy, here!

Can you walk?

I can't.

I'll come back!

I'll stay!

Here, give me that, come on.

It won't go, it's frozen!

Take this.

The glove.

I'm sorry.

Come on, mate.

Come on, Harold.

Thanks for coming back.
