If he held on to 4 million,

the police are on him,

they're watching.

So he waited for them

to take a snooze.

Cops are stupid.

Free money

isn't your thing?

Look, hiking out into the bush

in the middle of winter,

that can cost you

more than you think.

So are you some kind

of an expert now?

On winter?

On thinking.

Actually, he's a site supervisor

in the forest industry.

- Stop.

- That's perfect.

Hey, simple question:

do you pray?

Excuse me?

Do you ask God

to look out for you?

I don't mean words

that you speak,

'cause sometimes our hearts

can run ahead of our tongues,

you know.

Do you need this, Will?

Cormac's necklace.

I thought it was a ring

at first, but...

This is an easy choice.

I mean, for us anyway.

Cheryl and I,

we're about to start a new life,

and I didn't know how we were

gonna make it happen.

But this, this...

this is a confirmation,

Will.

This can shape and change

the rest of our lives.

Did she just steal a GPS?

Think about it.

You know, it would just go back

to the banks.

They already have

their insurance.

Maybe what he said is right,

the guy did step in front

of our car for a reason.

Oh, come on.

Dawn, the police,

they have our names,

they have our registration.

And soon, the bank will have

everything else.

Four million.

Even with just a part of it,

we would be free.

Free until things settle

with your job.

It would be like

the last year and a half

never even happened.

Dawn, we don't even know

it's out there.

Holy sh*t! You guys

are not gonna believe this.

It's only 30 miles away.

Lookit.

It's so close to the road.

We can be there

and back in a couple of hours.

Want more good news?

Yeah.

What?

It says, a couple of hours.

Easy.

It's a lot more complicated

in real life.

We have no idea

what is out there.

I mean, it would take

a well-equipped party all day

possibly, to get in and out.

We just...

We... We don't know.

Okay.

So we do it in the morning.

We've got to do this

tomorrow.

Cops are dumb,

but they're not that dumb.

We do this in the morning.

Tick tock.

What's the matter?

Cold feet, boy scout?

We'll sleep on it.

- Mm.

- Fair enough.

And, uh, Cormac just bought you

a room for the night.

"Fifty point two,

zero, three..."

Yeah, the, uh... The battery

died on me a few days back.

I'm just keeping it warm.

That's a great idea.

I'm a light sleeper,

so gotta come out for some air.

What a world, huh?

Yeah.

See you in the morning.

See you in the morning.

They have the GPS.

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, come on! A**hole!

Thanks a lot!

Hey. Trying to buy gear

in this town,

but nobody's selling.

So...

what do you say?

You two up

for a nice, long walk?

Will, take this road.

What if it's all blocked

up there?

What's a little snow?

Wait, wait, wait! Stop, stop!

This is as close

as the road gets.

We've got to walk.

You got any mitts?

I can't help you,

I'm afraid.

In case we get a flat?

To dig with.

Unless somebody has a pickaxe.

Dawn,

where's our pickaxe?

- On our mule with our gold pans.

- Heh.

Maybe someone will need

their nuts taken off?

Ouch!

Is that what I think it is?

This is a flare gun!

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it's this way.

This is beautiful weather.

You guys ever been

in the snow?

Sure, yesterday.

Let's go.

Whoo! The sun must have added

like 10 degrees!

Yeah, you get the extra rays

off the snow.

Just be glad it's not windy,

then you'd really feel it.

When does it get dark?

This time of year,

around 4:
30-5. We're okay.

Aah! Damn it!

You all right? Here.

- Ugh.

- Let me, uh...

Let me cut you

a walking stick.

Wait, you have a knife?

Give it to me.

Nature's snowshoe.

Hey!

We should go

through the thin stuff.

The shoes can't handle this.

It's this way!

Yeah, but we go

through the thin stuff,

and then we correct

to the right position.

We'll make better time,

and we'll be less tired.

Hey, I've been thinking.

We can't just spend it all.

You know,

that's how we'll get caught.

It's untraceable,

it's not drug money.

But you know what?

You guys do what you wanna do.

I ain't gonna bury mine.

What's the point

of being rich

if you're too scared

to buy what you want?

What about you guys? What are

you gonna do with your million?

I just want things

to be back the way they were.

Get our house back,

wipe out the mistakes of the

past couple of years and...

start a family.

No, that's good, Dawn.

It's simple.

Nothing wrong

with wanting that.

It's getting colder,

but I don't feel it.

Yeah, it's 'cause

you're working hard.

But we're sweating

into our coats.

When that starts to freeze,

then you'll feel it.

Doesn't matter,

we're more than halfway there.

A bird

would be halfway there.

We'd be even closer

if we weren't detouring!

Watch it.

Aah!

A**hole!

Sorry.

Argh!

These stupid snowshoes!

You know what?

In this terrain,

there's zero point.

Well, that was fun

while it lasted.

Hey, Lee.

Yeah.

It's frozen.

Goddamn!

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Here.

Damn it!

It's a cliff.

What?

B*tch, give it back!

Aah!

Dawn! Dawn!

- Please don't let me fall!

- Pull! Pull!

Please don't let me fall!

I got you!

Oh, come here!

Cheryl!

Cheryl, get over here.

Oh, thank God.

Thank God. You okay?

Yeah.

Babe.

Oh, sh*t.

Well, that wasn't

in the brochure.

It was marked on the GPS!

- I didn't know it was a cliff.

- It was just a line.

It could have been a river.

Could have been a stream.

I don't know.

I wasn't the only one

looking at it!

Oh, then why did you act like

you knew what you were doing?

Never used one of these before,

I was just following an arrow!

- No one's blaming you.

- She is.

She's in shock!

Okay?

She's terrified of heights!

She almost died!

It was just a line.

Dawn, it was just a line.

We all saw it.

It doesn't matter what it was!

We can't go down it!

You okay?

We should have got rid of 'em

when we had the chance.

Lee, I don't trust them.

Okay, well, trust me.

Okay?

'Cause I got you now, okay?

I got you.

All right, that gold,

when we get it,

that's when we can choose

our friends,

choose the life

that we want.

All right,

where does it end?

It doesn't.

Okay.

Go the other way.

Okay.

Okay, this cliff goes miles

both ways.

We can pick a direction.

Cormac wasn't planning

on going down this.

Unless you two

want to go back.

- And what?

- Come back another day?

They're going to find his car

or truck,

and they probably know

who he is right now.

No, it's all or nothing.

We've come way too far

to just throw in the towel.

"It's all or nothing,"

just like she said.

Give me the GPS.

I can go twice as fast

if I go alone.

I can make it out to the gold,

see if it's there,

bring you some back.

What?

You think I'm gonna steal it?

You're not gonna have

the chance.

Who knows?

Five minutes down thataway,

we could find another way down.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe.

Or it could be two hours

or three hours.

Will,
