Take this road going north.

It will become another dirt road,

and curve east.

At the point where three streams

become one...

... follow the west fork.

Lost Canyon Creek.

That is the way.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Dr. Reynolds?

Dr. Reynolds.

For you,

there's probably nothing up there...

... except a lot of rock,

and snow and grief.

Very deep grief.

But to the Navajo Nation,

it is a dwelling place for the spirits.

The shapes the earth takes

to tell its stories.

Don't go there

unless you're prepared to listen.

My God.

I don't believe it. It's beautiful.

Nine-oh-two to Control.

We have a forest service report

of a possible sighting...

... in the vicinity of Hesper's Peak.

Proceed there directly.

Report approaching Three Forks, over.

Ten-four.

Don't be afraid.

Just do it.

For me, Mikey.

Mighty Mike.

Come on. Come on, you can make it.

Come on. You can make it.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, you can make it.

Remember the lake.

We're almost there at the lake.

The magic lake, Blue.

Nine-oh-two to 900.

Nine-oh-two, go ahead.

We believe that the subject vehicle

is a white Caddy...

... parked south-southeast in Grid 3.

- Say again.

- Roger.

We believe that the subject vehicle

is a white Caddy...

... parked south-southeast in Grid 3.

- Nine hundred to control.

- Nine hundred, go ahead.

Sector 11, I've got tire tracks

in sight.

Nine-oh-two to 900.

Nine-oh-two, go ahead.

Roger. I'm at your six.

About three miles back,

just coming up on Three Forks.

Nine hundred to Control.

I have the subject vehicle

in sight right now.

Come on. Come on.

I can do it myself.

Let somebody help you

for once in your life.

Come on.

Nine hundred to Control.

- Nine hundred, go ahead.

- Ten-four. I've been through Grid 8.

Thought I saw a glimmer.

I'm gonna go back and have another look.

Where is it?

Where's the goddamn lake?

It's okay, man.

It's okay.

No, it's not. It's not okay.

Oh, sh*t. What now?

What's he saying?

He's saying, "Thank you.

Thank you for bringing me here."

Sure.

Sure.

It's no problem.

Does he believe in the lake?

Does he believe in the power

of its waters?

Now you got me talking like you.

White people...

... have never believed the power

of the Dibe' Ni'tsaa.

Yes, but what about the magic lake?

Can it really do...?

Can it really do what they say?

Can it really do that?

What do you want most?

I want it to do what I can't.

I want it to...

I want you to help Blue.

He knows.

It's my time.

He's gonna take me now.

To drive the sickness out from me.

Good.

That's real good, Blue. That's good.

That's real good.

Let's go.

Wait.

You can't come.

I mean, I don't want you to.

That's okay.

Okay, you know, I'm okay with that.

I should probably get back

before I see my face on a milk carton.

I guess this is goodbye.

Yeah.

Thank you for saving my life, Blue.

It was no big deal, man.

A man's gotta do what he's gotta do.

Yeah.

It's been real.

You know what I'm saying?

You are real, man.

Go.

Go. Get out of here.

I got you down as gone.

Blue?

Catch.

It's yours.

You practically killed me for it.

Watch out for the Judas, man.

Blue.

Blue?

Yeah?

We made it.

Nine hundred to Control,

I have the subject in sight.

F***!

May beauty be before me

May beauty be behind me

May beauty be above me

May beauty be below me

May beauty be all around me
