Himalaya Page #3

Toying with a guy's life...

"Save me! Save me!"

Stop crying, you'll get frostbite.

You're the worst.

- He's the worst.

- He's not even a friend.

Bae-su, loosen the rope.

Just look ahead, walk with a strut...

piece of cake.

You see? It's easy.

I feel awful!

Jung-bok!

However much you try to breathe,

you can't because there's

a huge booger in your nose.

That's right.

And the more you try to pick it out,

the further it gets pushed in.

That's right, what is it?

It's altitude sickness.

- That's it?

- Yeah.

Damn, I'm going crazy. Do something!

There, there...it's hard being sick

away from home?

Ah, Myung-ae.

Put your gloves on. You'll get frostbite.

What, do you feel weird because I'm a woman?

It's not that, your hands smell.

Put your gloves on.

You want to sleep outside?

Rub me with your gloves on.

Seeing him, I guess this really is my calling.

I've never once got altitude sickness.

Lucky you.

Our brains are 2% of our weight,

but they use 15% of our oxygen.

But you don't need oxygen.

Why not?

You never use your brain.

Gimme a break!

Will you two stop it? I'm sick!

Stop fussing.

Now, just concentrate on my body.

It's okay to fantasize.

Marilyn Monroe is here,

Marilyn Monroe is here...

But I can still smell something.

It's not a fart smell, what is it?

It's a fart smell.

Man, did you sh*t yourself?

"CAMP 4, 7650m"

The weather is too bad.

We'll have to stay here another night,

and try to reach the peak tomorrow.

I'll contact you again tomorrow.

All right.

What are you doing?

Writing your will?

Don't jinx me.

Do I look so weak?

"Help me! Is anyone there?"

"Jung-bok!"

Oh, Captain!

Hey, you were the first one to cry,

but also the first one to pull himself back up.

- I give you credit for that.

- Really?

Trying to make me feel better?

But Captain.

Watching you, it seems you're

always just running ahead.

It's great to be the first in Asia

to climb 14 peaks,

but don't just look ahead, try to enjoy it.

You shouldn't lose the passion of an amateur.

Humans are naturally cunning,

so when everyone praises you,

you start mistaking your own sh*t

for chocolate, and...

You wanna die?

I must have altitude sickness.

Hurry up and sleep.

Need to sleep to move forward.

- Put the jacket on my feet.

- Yes!

Captain, I should have said this sooner.

I'm so thankful you took me on this expedition.

Actually, I was going to give up

if I didn't make it this time.

I'm freezing and hungry,

but I'm so happy right now.

Awesome weather.

Seriously, is there anyone

who can sleep in this weather?

There is.

Hong-gill

Yes?

The weather's just too bad.

Don't be stubborn, pull back to Camp 3 for now.

All right.

Damn weather.

Jung-bok, how's your condition?

I'm fine!

I'll lead you up to the peak.

Get him out of here.

- Myung-ae!

'Yes?

Take this punk back to Camp 3.

What?

- Bae-su, Mootaek.

- Y es'?

You two are on emergency standby at Camp 4.

What about the peak?

I'll take two Sherpas and try a lone climb.

- Dorze!

- Yes?

Dawa okay?

Okay!

Captain, it's too dangerous alone.

I'll come with you.

You see his condition? Take him down, quick.

That's an order.

Be careful!

Hey, stop!

What the hell are you doing?

Mootaek, go down!

Damn, are you crazy?

I just felt too worried sending you off alone.

Cut the crap and go back down.

That's an order!

I worked like a dog to make it up here.

I don't know the way down.

What if I have an accident,

will you be responsible?

You damned punk!

Chew me out later, for now let's go up.

Let's go!

Awesome!

I'll go first.

Goddammit.

Couldn't you rest a bit?

Never should've brought that fool.

God, I'm tired.

Secured!

Okay-

Let's go!

Falling ice!

Falling ice!

Mootaek!

PARK Mootaek!

Wake up!

Mootaek!

PARK Mootaek, wake up!

Secure yourself!

Secured!

Everything's okay!

Nice work, Mootaek!

Dawa, Dawa!

Okay.. I'm okay..

His responses are sluggish.

Dawa.

Base camp! Base camp!

Two injured Sherpaare on their way down.

And Mootaek and I will attempt the summit.

Hey, no way! Go down now!

A 30km/hr snowstorm will blow all night.

How can you go up with no Sherpa

in this weather?

Mootaek, you convince him to descend!

Like he'd listen to me.

We're almost there now. It's not far.

Hey. Captain!

I need to conserve the battery!

I'm shutting it off.

Hey. Captain!

Shut yours off too.

I've got plenty of battery left.

Still, I'd better conserve it.

But Captain.

I'm not saying I won't do it,

but shouldn't you at least ask me,

if I'll go up or not?

- You don't know the way down.

- Right.

Then you better go up, punk.

Huh?

Right, Mootaek has no reverse gear.

Look out for falling rocks and ice.

Yes.

They should have reached it by now.

Are they stuck somewhere, too tired to move?

The sun will be down soon.

- Mootaek!

- Yes?

Prepare to bivouac.

What?

Prepare to bivouac!

Here?

Hong-gil, where are you?

Answer me, please!

Shouldn't we send a rescue team?

I'll go myself!

You want to die in that storm?

Oh, it's cold...

Mootaek.

Yes?

Don't fall asleep.

If you do, you'll die. Concentrate!

- You too, Captain.

- Okay.

To stay awake, think of some food you crave.

What do you want to eat most?

Carbonara.

You jerk!

More than anything,

I want a chicken stew,

with rice cakes and giblets.

I ate it in Seoul for the first time.

I want that so much!

Damn, it's cold.

Hello?

It's me. Listen...

Captain UM has gone missing.

Huh? What should we do?

Cancel the broadcast?

Don't be stupid, this is a big scoop!

Look, I'll dictate the headline for you.

"Captain UM takes an eternal sleep

in the Himalayas."

"Eternal sleep," that's right.

You bastard!

Who's sleeping!

I'm...wishing my mother good night.

I'll make you sleep for eternity, a**hole!

Help me!

Hello?

Hello?

Don't sleep.

Ah, right.

Sure...

Captain.

Can I call you brother, just once?

Of course.

Brother...

Hong-gil.

What is it?

Will we be able to see the 2002 World Cup?

Of course. Hey Mootaek.

If we make it back, promise me one thing.

What's that?

Don't let that girl go.

Who? Su-young?

Who do you miss most at this moment?

Her, of course.

Then it's settled.

That's the next mountain you should climb.

Yes, Brother.

- Promise me one thing, too.

- What?

Take me with you to K2.

I want to leave a footnote on

one page of climbing history.

Mootaek, I haven't told anybody yet.

But I'm not stopping at K2.

Then what?

Yalung Khan, Lhotse Shar. Those, too.

The top 16 peaks...

Would that be a world first?

A bad son and a bad father.

That's what I've been.

Before dying, I'll do something

my kids can be proud of.

So we need to live.

We need to make it down.

Yes!

Of course we will.

We made it!

We made it...we did!

God of the Himalayas, thank you...

Thank you.

Hey, Mootaek! Mootaek!

Captain...are we really still alive?

That's right, punk!

So, do we go up, or go down?

We're 100m from the peak. What is it?

Captain, don't ask me that.
