Vertical Limit Page #5

He had to come back.

Now you're gonna kill him.

My wife died of edema.

Skin stripped from her throat,

lungs filled with water.

She drowned in her own bodily fluids.

Yeah, I'm gonna kill him.

I can't let you do it.

Do you know where you are?

Above 24,000, you're at the

vertical limit, you're already dying.

Look at you. You can hardly stand.

If you think you can stop me,

go ahead.

Peter. Are you there?

Peter.

Annie. Annie, is it you?

Annie. Annie, what is it?

Where are you?

Five hours away.

I want you to go back.

Don't risk it. There's no reason.

I won't be here and neither will Tom.

How long?

An hour. Two at the most.

Peter. Peter!

I'm here, Annie.

I've been thinking.

I've been thinking a lot about Dad.

We shouldn't have gotten him a grave.

We should have come up here

together with his ashes.

He said this is where he was happiest.

He was a climber.

I think every real climber

would want to stay on the mountain.

What do you think?

I think we'll come back some day.

The two of us.

For Dad.

I would've liked that.

- I'm coming to get you, Annie.

- No, don't.

Promise me. I don't want you to die.

- I don't care!

- Don't put me through it, understand?

Please.

Just...

...please don't.

Please.

Good night, Peter.

I love you.

Are you gonna kill me now?

Yes.

Bastard!

Are you ready?

I can't get them to melt.

They're frozen.

- Boil the water!

- With what?

Easy.

Easy.

Wait.

Okay. Keep feeding it.

Keep it coming.

Stop! It's leaking!

We can try and push it through

before it rips.

On three.

One, two, three!

Annie!

Annie!

Hold it! Hold it!

No! No!

How is she?

Amazing.

Talk about a will to live.

- That's not a song.

- That's definitely a song.

No way that's a song.

That's a good song.

A winning song, by the sound of it.

I think you're making it up.

That was a hell of a thing

you did up there.

Anybody else would've given up.

Not everybody.

He'd be proud of you.

Angry, but really proud.

Get some sleep.
