The Last Winter Page #5

We're gonna do it North's way.

If you want to come along,

that'll be fine.

Could use your help.

Two of us doubles our chances.

We better get going.

It's a straight shot.

Straight shot.

Keep this on Channel three.

It should work for a while.

See you tonight.

Abby, you're in charge.

Stay strong everybody and ah...

We'll be back with help.

I won't leave you guys here.

See that?

What did I tell you?

Hey! Anybody here?

They're supposed to be here.

- This is Tuesday, isn't it?

- All day.

What is going on?

God damn it!

No juice at all.

They must have gotten

a ride out of here.

Well...

there's a pumping station about

Fort Crow is about eight or nine

miles south of here.

Ed, Fort Crow's gonna save our ass.

Piece of sh*t!

- Pollack!

- What?

She lost all her oil.

She's not gonna start.

F***!

Alright, Ed, listen. Fort Crow

is 9 miles south of here, maybe 10.

We've got 3 hours of daylight left.

Let's not squander it.

Out there, on foot.

God damn it!

- He's gone.

- Let's cover him up.

Where's Lee?

Pollack! See that ridge?

Fort Crow's on the other side.

The river is around here somewhere.

What are you doing?

He was one of those drivers?

From the ice road?

Pollack!

Pollack!

Hang on!

Hang on, Pollack!

- Pollack!

- My foot!

The belt! You got it?

That's it!

Hang on a second!

Pollack, pull!

Get it!

- I can't do it!

- Yes, you can.

- I can't do it!

- Come on, Pollack.

We gotta get off this ice.

It's unstable.

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

You're doing great.

You're doing great!

Come on, let me get this off.

Sh*t!

- F***, man. My boot.

- Forget about it.

- I gotta go get my boot.

- Forget about your boot.

It's gone.

We gotta get these

clothes off you.

Thanks, man. F*** it!

I'm f***ing burning up!

No, you're not, you're freezing.

Keep moving! Keep moving!

You're gonna make it.

Let's go.

Here we go, Okay.

Right, boy.

Take it easy with that stuff.

It doesn't mix well

with hypothermia.

We could die out here.

Is that gonna be a boot?

Anyway, I...

Well anyway...

You and Abby...

I guess I get it.

She's...

She means a lot to me.

I guess we had our go at it.

She's a handful.

Believe in God?

No. Not the way you mean.

Jesus Christ, Jim.

I would not do what you've

chosen to do up here.

Whatever God it is that

doesn't sanction that...

then no, I'm not a believer.

What's needed out here

is a pipeline...

and a base camp.

A couple wells.

That's what God wants.

Lee?

Dawn?

Dawn?

Dawn!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Motor!

Motor! Motor!

Motor!

Dawn, what did you do?

Motor!

Motor!

Dawn!

What's wrong with you?!

Dawn! No!

Motor!

Dawn?

Dawn?

Listen up.

This is how it's gotta go.

- I want your boots.

- What?

I'm in charge here.

And that's the decision.

What is it?

Hoffman, what is it?

- I can't tell!

- It's wind!

Enough of this sh*t!

You got into Maxwell's head...

but you're not getting into mine.

- I'm not afraid of this place.

- You see it?

You see it?

Do you see it?!

Hoffman, you are as crazy

as a sh*t-house rat!

I'm going for help and help

is over that rise!

We gotta stick together!

We can't split up!

We have no idea what

we're dealing with here!

We gotta watch each other's backs!

You're gonna calm down, man!

Look!

Open your eyes!

- I don't see anything!

- Look!

- Give me the boots!

- Open your eyes!

Crazy bastard,

you're making me do this.

Hoffman, are you there?

Hoffman, are you there?

- Abby?

- Jim, are you okay?

I'm ah, I'm ah...

I'm okay.

Where's Pollack?

Uh... he took off. I'm alone.

- Me too.

- Alright.

Well, just hang on.

I'm so close. I'm so close.

We're gonna get out of this, Jim.

You know, daylight's coming

and, and...

they're gonna send somebody for us,

so we're gonna get out of this.

You're gonna get out and you're gonna

tell the whole world what happened.

You're gonna sound the alarm,

you're gonna tell the whole world.

And people are gonna rise up

and make change.

Hell, they'll build

a whole monument.

The whole world's gonna

band together, Jim.

There it is Abby. Abby,

l can see the town.

We're gonna be okay.

Just hold on.

Okay.

Jim, what's happening?

It's Pollack. He's fallen.

Is he alive?

- Abby?

- Jim?

l can't tell if this is happening!

Jim?

Jim, what's happening?

Jim?

Jim!

Jim!

Shoot it!

Town's right over there!

What are you waiting for?

Mom! Mom!

No!

Let's take a look at the big picture.

We have got a lot to talk about.

Mother Nature out doing herself

right now in the country.

Let's take a look up north.

The folks in Buffalo watching the snow

come down today and you know...

today they had snow, but yesterday

a record high, 67 degrees.

So how do you deal with those

weather swings in Buffalo?

Gonna be some mood swings

as well, l bet.

Down in Florida of course we still

got that recovery efforts going on...

from the flooding last week.

We've got some video here.

This is, l believe, Durrigan St.

in Ormond Beach.

Those folks just really

taking a pounding.

And now we've got a couple of storms

up and down the East Coast...

some flash flooding and, of course...

Cape Cod's still recovering from the winter

storm that almost swept through the bay.

While that's going on...

we've got bright sunshine out

in Atlanta and Phoenix as well.

They hit 79 in Phoenix, that's

a record for this time of year.

Spring dropping in a little early.

Talking about.

Now out in Seattle,

this is something, Seattle...

we're getting reports, this is no

exaggeration, of hail earlier this morning.

In some places,

hail reported the size of baseballs.

For all you Mariners fans enjoying...

this one that's one for the records

books as well.

So we've got something for you

wherever you are in the country.

Now here's something that's got

folks scratching their heads.

Anchorage, Alaska, 68 degrees,

Fairbanks 71.

That's correct, all up

and down the state...

they're dealing with record highs.

And it's causing a lot

of problems for folks up there.

They're used to some

very bitter winters.

A lot of people are scratching their

heads saying basically which way...
