0:01:21 > 0:01:23Andreas!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Come on.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36It's the first time in ten years this train has been on time.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Carla!- Hello, Nicholas.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57It's so good to see you. It's been so long.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Andreas.- Welcome back, fraulein.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Sorry we were late. - It doesn't matter.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- You look beautiful, Nicholas. - I'm older.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11The world is older. Only Andreas is not older!
0:03:20 > 0:03:23A HARMONICA GENTLY PLAYS
0:03:57 > 0:04:00HARMONICA WOLF-WHISTLES
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- How nice to see you.- Frau Knubel!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14We have your room all ready.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18It is not like before the war, but we'll make you comfortable.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20It's comfortable just to see you.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I wanted her to stay with me, but she said you'd never forgive her.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Her we would forgive, but not you!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Monsieur, Madame Delambre, Fraulein Alten.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Welcome to our ivory tower. - Thank you.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35You must be starved, come.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- She will want to go to her room first.- Oh, yes. I forget.
0:04:39 > 0:04:45- I'll see you tomorrow for tea. - Of course. Thank you for meeting me.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I too shall see you tomorrow.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Oh, Andreas.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- Is everything arranged?- Tomorrow I'll give you a full report.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58No, Andreas. After dinner.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01All right. I'll see you after dinner.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35What have you been doing since the war, Fraulein?
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Oh, struggling, working. Trying to get enough money to come back here.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Who are all these people? Who's that man I met?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Monsieur Delambre? A wealthy intellectual.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51A writer, he says, and a mountain climber.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53He says.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Those are just tourists.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- And the American? - He doesn't talk much about himself.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05His name is Ordway. He was a bomber pilot. He was shot down near here, and he came back.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- He plays the harmonica. - Does he climb too?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Yes, occasionally.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14He's very good, but I don't think he's serious about it.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18The other one, Hein, he is really a climber.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- Why is he here?- I think for the same reason that you are here.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Andreas has told you.
0:06:26 > 0:06:33Do you think anyone had to tell us that someday you would come back to the White Tower?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Hello, Andreas.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49There is one thing you must understand.
0:06:49 > 0:06:56To try again to climb this mountain is not something you alone want, but that I also want.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01When you wrote, I started to gather supplies right away.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04What is it, Andreas? Tell me.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07We cannot do it. It is not possible.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Why?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Two alone cannot do it. - I asked you to organise a party.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I've spoken to every guide in Kandermatt.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19They refuse to come with us - all of them.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- They are afraid.- Yes, but not only of the mountain.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27They're afraid of you.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Andreas.- It is true.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34It is not what happened to your father. It is the way you feel.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Are you afraid?- No, I'm not.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40If I can form a party, will you guide us?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44No, Carla. I will not.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Mr Ordway?
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Hello.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- My name is Carla Alten. - How do you do?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- I understand you do some mountain climbing.- I've been up a few.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- Why?- How would you like to climb the White Tower?- What?
0:08:14 > 0:08:20- They say it has never been climbed. Would you like to be in the first party to do it?- What for?
0:08:22 > 0:08:27- What for?- What's the point? What have you got when you get up there?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Nothing. Everything. The top.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Haven't you ever thought about it?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- I guess I have thought about it... - Well?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Do you think it's worth the energy? - You're tired?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43That's one way of putting it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47If you're tired you'd better go to bed. Excuse me.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Wait a minute.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- That's quite an approach you have. - Approach?
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Yeah. My name is Carla Alten. How would you like to climb a mountain?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- How about that?- Can you suggest a better approach?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Well, yes, I think I can.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10My name is Martin Ordway. It's a beautiful night. How about a drink?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13No, thank you. Goodnight.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- She climbs very well, doesn't she? - Who is she?
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- I don't know. Carla Alten. - What was she saying?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Knubel, tell us, who is this girl?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Your usual, Mr Ordway?- Who is she?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- She's the daughter of Alessandro Alten.- Of course.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Who's he?- You don't know?- No. - The mountaineer.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Is he good?- Good?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49He's one of the greatest of our generation.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53As a student of mountain climbing, I would say, THE greatest.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Without question.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Where is he now?- Dead.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00He ascended the White Tower several years ago.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02It's a famous story.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05There were six in the party including Carla.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09When the others could no longer go on, Alten went on alone.
0:10:09 > 0:10:16They saw him disappearing up the final slope. Whether he made it or not, no-one knows.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18He never came back.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Well.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22To the survivors.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26To climb the peak of the highest mountain.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30To look down on a world of crawling men.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35You know that, at last, your struggle...
0:10:36 > 0:10:38is over.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Then you climb down again.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49< Good evening, gentlemen.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Oh, there you are, my dear.
0:10:51 > 0:10:58Tell me, Astrid, did you know this girl was the daughter of Alessandro Alten, the mountaineer?
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Really? You said you were going to work this evening.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- Or do you have to climb a mountain first?- Please.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09This book cannot be dashed off.
0:11:09 > 0:11:16I am trying to sum up the whole magnificence of the White Tower in one short work.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22A writer cannot manufacture a masterpiece like a machine.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- You understand that, don't you? - Of course, dear.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47Your wife - I hope you don't mind me saying so - she's a very beautiful woman.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Yes. Yes, she is.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Yes, she's very lovely.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02I think I'll go for a bit of a climb tomorrow.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Nothing very strenuous. Just to get back to the feel again.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Hello.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Hello.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35I guess you were right. My approach last night was not so good.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37You've come up here to tell me that?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Oh, no. I'm going to see Nicholas Radcliffe.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42His chalet is up there.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45That's quite a climb.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47You better sit down and rest.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51On resting, it seems you are an authority. How did you get this far?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Sheer willpower.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01You make a pretty picture standing there.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Those mountains in back of you.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Too bad I'm not an artist.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08What do you do in America?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I'm an architect.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- Have you been in Switzerland long? - Not very.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Then you're here either to study or on vacation.- Neither one.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Maybe I shouldn't ask questions.
0:13:20 > 0:13:26No, that's fine. It's a good way to get acquainted. My turn's coming up.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- How long are you going to stay? - I don't know.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Don't you have any reason to go back home?
0:13:33 > 0:13:39Somebody waiting for you - a mother or a...sister.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42No. No wife.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- My turn now.- If you wish.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Why is climbing this mountain so important to you?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- My new approach is not to talk about that.- Come on...
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I answered all your questions.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04It's really not so mysterious.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- You know about my father?- A little.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12To climb the White Tower was the dream of his life.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14He tried it many times.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17When I grew old enough, he used to take me with him.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Just before the war, we tried again.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Nicholas and Andreas...
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I'm sorry, I...
0:14:29 > 0:14:33I thought after all this time I could talk about it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37They say it's a sickness with me.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Is it a sickness to have loved your father?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44To have the same dream he had?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54How many people do you need to climb it?
0:14:55 > 0:15:00Four, at the very least. For the best chance, six. To start, anyway.
0:15:00 > 0:15:06- There's a fella called Hein. Have you asked him?- No. - He'd be just the man.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- I don't like his looks.- Why not?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12He is a kind of a person. A kind I know.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15So what? Maybe he can help you.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18You should know what I mean. You fought in the war.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I understand you were shot down near here.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24That's right. Just over those mountains.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- It was a lucky break. - What do you mean?
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Well, if that hadn't happened, I wouldn't have found this place.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Have you found peace here?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Is that why you came back?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Peace.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47I will only find it when I reach the top of that mountain.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Come on.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Walk with me to the chalet.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Her father and I were close friends.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Is the idea practical?
0:16:06 > 0:16:11- Climbing the White Tower?- Yes. - Of course not.- Can it be done?
0:16:11 > 0:16:16Men have been trying to do it now for 100 years, but they've failed.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18All of them.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23I think it CAN be done, but can WE do it? It's a different proposition.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27I'm assuming that you're going to ask me. I'm not too old, am I?
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- Of course you are not too old. - I am really, you know.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36- Still, I would like another try. - Good. That makes two of us.- Two?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40I'm sorry. I've been assuming that you are a victim too.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42No. Not this trip.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Thank you very much.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51Dr Radcliffe, are there rocks on the White Tower you haven't seen yet?
0:16:51 > 0:16:56If you're asking if my interest in the climb is a scientific one - no.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Not at all.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Mr Ordway is about to ask why you want to go.
0:17:01 > 0:17:08I wasn't interested in what your reason was or even if it was a good one, I just wondered if you had one.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- I do indeed have a reason. - OK. See, I don't.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Who else can we get, Nicholas?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Well, there's Hein. I understand that...
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- She's ruled him out. She doesn't like his looks.- Oh.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26- Feminine intuition.- What about that little man with the whiskers?
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Delambre? Well, he has done some climbing.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35He drinks a little too much. He may not tackle anything this severe.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- He'll go.- How do you know?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39He has a reason.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- I?- Will you?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Thank you, mademoiselle.
0:17:46 > 0:17:52That's wonderful for you, dear. You were going on a hike this morning.
0:17:53 > 0:17:59- I shall be grateful to you forever. - We shall have a difficult time.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- Nevertheless...- You want to come? - I cannot tell you what it means.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10They are discussing the route.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I think we should follow here.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Well, look who's here!
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Andreas!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Oh, Andreas.- And bread.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Let me help you with these.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27- I knew you would come.- You knew, my wife knew, only I didn't know!
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Let's go inside.
0:18:29 > 0:18:36Imagine, a woman, an old geologist and an erratic weakling on the most difficult ascent in Europe!
0:18:36 > 0:18:39And to guide them, a Swiss peasant.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42You seem anxious to go with them.
0:18:43 > 0:18:50I know this mountain. One must have supplies, equipment, and a party of six even to get near the top.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53After that it would be up to me.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Come on, let's give them a hand.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- I'll see you tomorrow, Carla. - All right.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15You have found the rope?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I have my own at home.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- There's only one thing missing. - What?
0:19:20 > 0:19:24A three-ton truck to carry all this stuff.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Oh, Carla, have you met Mr Hein?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Oh, hello.- Pleasure.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32We were thinking if we could help...
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Do you have any food that is more concentrated?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40This will be very bulky to carry.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42They are sold out in the village.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I have some. I can lend it to you.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- No, really...- I'll get it.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- You're making a mistake.- It is true.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58With Hein, we'd have a better chance.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02That's right. After all, he can't be that dangerous, can he?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07If I invite him, will you come too?
0:20:09 > 0:20:10No, I...
0:20:10 > 0:20:13I'm sorry, I...
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- What have we here?- Brandy.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20One for medicinal purposes and one for celebration.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- When we reach the top. - And if you don't?- For consolation.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- Here we are.- Thank you.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- I'm only too happy. If there is anything else?- Would you...
0:20:34 > 0:20:37consider joining us on this climb?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- You do not have to merely because I lent you some...- Oh, no.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45But if you agree to come, we would be very happy.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51In that case, I should be delighted. Thank you.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I'm afraid you don't understand.
0:20:59 > 0:21:05To climb this mountain, this monstrous and beautiful mountain,
0:21:05 > 0:21:09it's a thing I've wanted to do ever since we came to the valley.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Perhaps it's the inspiration you've been waiting for for your book.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17What?
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Your book. You are planning to finish it?- Of course.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I have finished it - all but the last chapter.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- You've been saying that for so long. - I shall go on saying it.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32And I shall do it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36What is it you expect of a man?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40That he create literature in a vacuum?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Can't you at least try to understand what I'm trying to do?
0:21:46 > 0:21:50I want to feel again, fight again, come alive again.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55You think you'll do that by breaking your neck on a mountain?
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Yes. Precisely.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00By breaking my neck.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02On a mountain!
0:22:02 > 0:22:05By standing on the edge of a precipice.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09By spattering my brains out on the rocks below.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Oh, my dear. My dear, dear Astrid...
0:22:15 > 0:22:18It's useless to talk if you don't talk sense.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21It's useless for us to talk ever.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31How much are they paying you?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I don't know. I didn't ask.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I'm the wife of a lunatic!
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I will take you with me, my dear.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21To the top.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37This means an awful lot to you, doesn't it?
0:24:01 > 0:24:06Say, look, on 22nd thought, I'd kind of like to go with you.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11You found a reason?
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Well, sure. I could use the exercise!
0:24:17 > 0:24:23Is that OK? I mean, is it OK for me to go along just for the walk?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Certainly. Glad to have you.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30I don't mean to the top, but I could help until the first camp.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Think you could make it that far?
0:24:33 > 0:24:38I could try. Not much sense being here with everybody else away.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41You could entertain Madame Delambre.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- Madame Delambre doesn't interest me. - But I do?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Yes, you do.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58We'd better get back and get some rest. You'll need it.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02The weather is good.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It will hold for a while.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I'm glad you changed your mind, Martin.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Thanks.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- Life is a problem.- Hold that.
0:25:16 > 0:25:22A man's attracted to a woman and he finds himself drawn into her life.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Doing things to please her that he has no interest in -
0:25:25 > 0:25:27like climbing mountains.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- He becomes a weakling. - Complicated, isn't it?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Oh! How about a little rest?
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Lovely view of the village, isn't it?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Very.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58You see my chalet on the hill?
0:27:58 > 0:28:03- Are you lonely there? - No more lonely than I was in London.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08Anyway, loneliness gives one a chance to study human nature.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10One's own human nature.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Any difficulties, gentlemen?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14No, we're having a rest. Join us.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Thank you, but I'm not tired.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22I've found that to stop too often only makes the muscles more stiff.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Quite.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Do not forget that old mountaineers' song.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36"To rest is not to conquer".
0:28:39 > 0:28:42To rest is not to conquer.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50This point is called the Dachenwelt.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54To here it is a long, pleasant walk.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Suitable for timid old ladies and small children...and Americans.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Hey, wait a minute.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03That pack of yours is a little crooked.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06It'll start pulling on a long hike.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- I'm glad you came along, Martin. - So am I.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11So far.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- That better?- Yes, thank you.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- How do you feel?- Fine. How about you?
0:30:19 > 0:30:22I have an advantage. I wasn't tired to begin with.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Any bets on who collapses first?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03All right?
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Still with you.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- That the funnel?- Yeah. Time enough for the funnel tomorrow.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Now we set up tents.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- All of them?- No. Two.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25Tomorrow we leave one here for when we come back down.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29What's the matter? Huh?
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Is there enough stuff if I go on to the next camp?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Yes, there is enough.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53That's good.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- It would be impossible to come back alone.- I know.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59So?
0:31:59 > 0:32:04So I'll go on up and wait for you until you come back from the top.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Can't you sleep?
0:33:21 > 0:33:22No.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Nor I.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32It's a strange silence you can almost hear.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Listen.
0:33:37 > 0:33:43- It's not so much of a sound, it's more like a...- Feeling.- Yeah.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48- A sense of presence - as though something were with us, following us.- Yes.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Perhaps it's the selves we're trying to leave behind.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02- Is that why you climb? Running away from something.- No.
0:34:02 > 0:34:08Alessandro Alten was a good friend and there's nothing I wouldn't do for his daughter. Reasonable?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Yes. I suppose it is.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16You promised me down below you wouldn't ask me that.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19I'm probably more polite down there.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23No, you're right, Martin. There is something else.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Climbing a mountain can be related to one's whole existence.
0:34:27 > 0:34:32A mountain can be a symbol of the obstacles one encounters in life.
0:34:32 > 0:34:37To conquer it is to gain self-confidence and courage.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39You understand that, don't you?
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Yes.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46I think I do.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I know you do.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52You understand it more the further you go.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05- It is best now we climb only one at a time.- One at a time?!
0:36:05 > 0:36:09No-one should move until the person above can belay the ropes.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- But it's slower.- A little slower,
0:36:12 > 0:36:13but safer too.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18As you say.
0:36:32 > 0:36:38This thing would go faster if you got together and pulled me up.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40I bet you make it.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52All right, Carla.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04Come on.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- Not going to tie on, huh?- No.- OK.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Ready, Martin?
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Yeah.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20It's kind of nice and cosy.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23All right?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25All right.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I'm sorry.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29That's all right.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Are you all right? - We're both all right.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38- How is it, Doctor?- All right.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42We're like a caterpillar, aren't we?
0:39:42 > 0:39:47This part of the caterpillar's almost at the end of his rope.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48< All right!
0:39:52 > 0:39:55A rest is not to conquer.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34To the right!
0:40:34 > 0:40:36To the right and above!
0:40:39 > 0:40:41It does not go.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43It must go!
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- It doesn't go. - Nothing to hold on to above?
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Yes, far above, but I couldn't reach it.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17- Andreas says it's impossible.- It is not impossible!- It's not impossible.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19All right. So it's possible.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49It's all right.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- Come on up!- Come up, he says.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27I'm next.
0:43:30 > 0:43:31Thanks.
0:44:41 > 0:44:42All right!
0:44:54 > 0:44:59- Wouldn't you like to rest a while longer?- To rest is not to conquer.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03Two for luck, huh?
0:45:09 > 0:45:12- Take it easy, Nick. - All right, old boy.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22Nicholas is very tired.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26- Who isn't?- Really tired, I mean.
0:45:36 > 0:45:37Pull!
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Hold it! The rope is stuck.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26Aagh!
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Thank you, my dear.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10- Are you all right, Nick?- Hmm?
0:47:12 > 0:47:13Oh, yes. Fine.
0:47:15 > 0:47:20- Now, Andreas, if you'll lower me down.- Down?
0:47:20 > 0:47:24- It's time I got started back. - Oh, no, Nicholas.
0:47:24 > 0:47:25It's no good, my dear.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28But it's easier from here.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31- You want to get to the top? - Of course.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34You'll never get to the top with me along.
0:47:34 > 0:47:35Oh, Nicholas.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Andreas, tell them.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40- Yes, it is true. - Thank you, Hein.
0:47:40 > 0:47:45- You have no right to say it.- On the contrary, Hein has a perfect right.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49He risked his life to get me onto this rock.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51He may have to risk his life again.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54Truly, my dear, it's better this way.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57I'll wait for you in my tent down below.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00Prepare a victory dinner.
0:48:00 > 0:48:04Where's my pack? Martin, you'd better take these.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06You may need them.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09And here's a warm sweater for you.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12You may go further than you think.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15Face it, my boy.
0:48:15 > 0:48:20- I'm ready, Andreas. - I'm coming with you.- No, no.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22< I'm sorry, Herr Doctor, I insist.
0:48:25 > 0:48:31- Good luck, Paul.- Thank you, Doctor. Sorry you're leaving us.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36- Goodbye, my dear.- Oh, Nicholas.
0:48:36 > 0:48:37Goodbye, my boy.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41Take care of her.
0:48:50 > 0:48:56With two of us, we should be over the steep parts in an hour. Then Herr Radcliffe can go on alone.
0:48:56 > 0:49:01I shall be back in three hours. Maybe even sooner.
0:49:15 > 0:49:19Shall we get started? We have far to go yet today.
0:49:19 > 0:49:23- We wait here for Andreas.- Here? - Of course.
0:49:23 > 0:49:27- Till three.- But we will lose the best hours of the day.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30All right. So we lose them.
0:49:31 > 0:49:36Mr Ordway, do not be offended, but I must tell you something.
0:49:36 > 0:49:41- What?- You have come along with your hands in your pockets.
0:49:41 > 0:49:48You have reserved the right to continue while you enjoy it, or to turn back when you don't.
0:49:48 > 0:49:52But this is no tea party, Mr Ordway.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55Or even an ordinary mountain climb.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59It is a war. To win it we must fight and keep on fighting.
0:49:59 > 0:50:04- We fight by leaving our guide behind?- No. By pushing on.
0:50:12 > 0:50:16Radcliffe was weak. He held us back. Now we make up for it.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19Andreas will catch up. We'll mark the route.
0:50:20 > 0:50:25- You will not go?- No.- Have you any objections if I go on alone?
0:50:25 > 0:50:26No.
0:50:27 > 0:50:29- Go ahead.- In that case...
0:50:31 > 0:50:33I'm going too.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35With me?
0:50:35 > 0:50:37If I may.
0:50:37 > 0:50:41It's better if we're to separate that we do it two by two.
0:50:41 > 0:50:47- You realise there will be less protection from the rope?- Yes.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49As you say then.
0:50:50 > 0:50:55We go up the funnel to the upper terrace, then to the ridge.
0:50:55 > 0:51:01If we cannot reach the ridge before dark, we'll make camp and flash a light to you.
0:51:01 > 0:51:02Anything else?
0:51:03 > 0:51:07I suggest that you do not wait after three for your guide.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27Well, he did fix it for us.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30- Fix it?- Yup. We're alone.
0:51:33 > 0:51:34Martin.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37- Hey, American.- Mmm?
0:51:37 > 0:51:40What did Nicholas mean - "face it"?
0:51:40 > 0:51:42What?
0:51:42 > 0:51:46What he said when he left. Face what?
0:51:47 > 0:51:49Reality.
0:51:49 > 0:51:51What is reality?
0:51:52 > 0:51:55He said you can find it on this mountain.
0:51:55 > 0:51:58I don't know.
0:51:58 > 0:52:00You know what George Mallory said
0:52:00 > 0:52:05- when they asked why he wanted to climb Mount Everest?- No. What?
0:52:06 > 0:52:09"Because it is there."
0:52:09 > 0:52:14- Isn't that a definition of reality? - Of course it's there.
0:52:14 > 0:52:15I don't know.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17Why have you continued?
0:52:18 > 0:52:22- It's pretty obvious, isn't it? - Because of me?
0:52:23 > 0:52:25Could be.
0:52:25 > 0:52:28You will come all the way then?
0:52:28 > 0:52:33- Yeah, if it keeps up this way. - And if it doesn't keep up like this?
0:52:33 > 0:52:35Well, then I'll go home.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37I see.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45This is what I call getting close to reality.
0:52:45 > 0:52:48Say, your hands are dirty.
0:52:49 > 0:52:53Hein was right. To you this is only a tea party.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56Look at him. There he is.
0:52:56 > 0:53:00He's going to end up carrying Delambre on his shoulders.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03Aren't you kind of glad he came along?
0:53:03 > 0:53:04No.
0:53:05 > 0:53:12Are you crazy? That guy knows his mountains. He can climb. I bet he's as good as your father was.
0:53:12 > 0:53:17- Please don't compare him with my father.- All right.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20He's got a lot of rope. Maybe he'll hang himself!
0:53:20 > 0:53:26I fought against people like Hein when it was very hard to fight them,
0:53:26 > 0:53:30and I shall go on fighting them wherever I find them.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33But you have to climb this mountain first.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35Yes.
0:53:36 > 0:53:40Did you ever love anybody else besides your father?
0:53:41 > 0:53:46- Did you ever find a man you thought you could marry?- No, I have not.
0:53:46 > 0:53:49- Do you ever expect to?- Possibly.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53Well... How about me?
0:53:53 > 0:53:56That is, if I were more like your father.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - It's all right.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06Will you marry me?
0:54:08 > 0:54:12You think I'm crazy and I know you are.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15We would make a lovely couple.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17Will you?
0:54:18 > 0:54:19No.
0:54:22 > 0:54:23Well...
0:54:24 > 0:54:27I might as well go to sleep.
0:54:44 > 0:54:48- I'm sorry I'm late. - No. That's all right.
0:54:48 > 0:54:49Hey.
0:54:51 > 0:54:52Come on.
0:54:52 > 0:54:53Let's go.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55Oh, Andreas.
0:55:15 > 0:55:17How far do you suppose they went?
0:55:17 > 0:55:23- I don't know. Do you want to rest? - No. We'll keep on till we find them.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36We were beginning to think you had lost the way.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39Did you think so or hope so?
0:55:39 > 0:55:43Didn't you find the markers we left for you?
0:55:45 > 0:55:46Paul?
0:55:46 > 0:55:49Paul, are you all right?
0:55:50 > 0:55:52- Paul?- Yes.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55- How did you get along?- All right.
0:55:56 > 0:55:58And you?
0:55:58 > 0:55:59Fine.
0:55:59 > 0:56:01Delambre did very well,
0:56:01 > 0:56:04but I'm afraid I set quite a pace.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07Did I go too fast, do you think?
0:56:07 > 0:56:09Delambre?
0:56:10 > 0:56:13Paul, eat your dinner.
0:56:15 > 0:56:18I'm not hungry.
0:56:23 > 0:56:25WIND WHISTLES
0:56:30 > 0:56:33He's tired. We should leave him behind tomorrow.
0:56:35 > 0:56:38- Why?- It's obvious. He will hold us up.
0:56:40 > 0:56:45In the beginning, when there is much to carry, a large group is useful.
0:56:45 > 0:56:47- But now... - The party should stay together.
0:56:47 > 0:56:51What's the difference? Why don't we all go back?
0:56:51 > 0:56:53Are you serious?
0:56:54 > 0:56:56No.
0:56:57 > 0:56:59We'll go on. All of us.
0:56:59 > 0:57:03- You are the leader. - We are a group, Mr Hein.
0:57:03 > 0:57:06We climb together because we cannot climb alone.
0:57:06 > 0:57:09We have no leader and we need none.
0:57:12 > 0:57:14And if we disagree?
0:57:14 > 0:57:17We discuss it and decide.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19I see.
0:57:21 > 0:57:27Well, I have never before tried to vote myself to the top of a mountain.
0:57:28 > 0:57:33Then this may prove to be a very enlightening experience for you.
0:57:52 > 0:57:56Why don't you turn in and get as much rest as you can?
0:57:56 > 0:57:59No. Not yet.
0:57:59 > 0:58:02I think I ought to work on my book for a while.
0:58:29 > 0:58:30Martin.
0:58:30 > 0:58:32Time to get up.
0:58:32 > 0:58:37Andreas and Hein went to look around. It's very foggy.
0:58:37 > 0:58:39- I'm making breakfast...- Carla.
0:58:39 > 0:58:41Oh, Martin.
0:58:42 > 0:58:46Remember what I said about us all going back?
0:58:46 > 0:58:47Yes.
0:58:47 > 0:58:49Well, I meant it.
0:58:52 > 0:58:55I did, but I don't anymore.
0:58:55 > 0:58:57And what do you think now?
0:58:57 > 0:59:01I think that it's important that we go on.
0:59:03 > 0:59:06I think it's important to both of us.
0:59:06 > 0:59:08Then you've found a reason.
0:59:10 > 0:59:13Yes. I guess I have.
0:59:18 > 0:59:20ANDREAS: Hello!
0:59:20 > 0:59:22Come on.
0:59:22 > 0:59:24Hello!
0:59:26 > 0:59:28Breakfast is almost ready.
0:59:36 > 0:59:38It's pretty awful.
0:59:38 > 0:59:41Like trying to find a beetle in a wood.
0:59:41 > 0:59:44- Aren't you cold with just that on? - No.
0:59:46 > 0:59:51- Is it bad up on the ridge? - It is lifting. Blowing again.
0:59:51 > 0:59:57Ja. But whether the wind will blow clear or with a storm, one cannot tell.
0:59:59 > 1:00:01Where's Delambre?
1:00:01 > 1:00:03He must have fallen asleep again.
1:00:03 > 1:00:05Paul!
1:00:09 > 1:00:11Paul. Hey, Paul.
1:00:12 > 1:00:15- Sorry. I thought you were asleep. - No.
1:00:15 > 1:00:19- I'm not asleep. - We're getting ready to leave.
1:00:19 > 1:00:20Leave?
1:00:20 > 1:00:24Oh, yes. Yes, it's time.
1:00:25 > 1:00:28- Is anything wrong?- Wrong?
1:00:28 > 1:00:31What should be wrong, my friend?
1:00:31 > 1:00:33Come on, Paul. I'm going with you.
1:00:33 > 1:00:36Paul, I brought you some tea.
1:00:36 > 1:00:38This will wake you up.
1:00:38 > 1:00:39Oh.
1:00:39 > 1:00:42Hello...lovely one.
1:00:42 > 1:00:44Aren't you well?
1:00:44 > 1:00:47I'm not hungry.
1:00:54 > 1:00:56Paul's acting kind of funny.
1:00:56 > 1:00:59It is mountain sickness, perhaps.
1:00:59 > 1:01:02- Was he sick last night? - No. I heard nothing.
1:01:03 > 1:01:07These idiots, these weaklings. There's always something wrong.
1:01:07 > 1:01:09Shut up!
1:01:10 > 1:01:12Gentlemen. >
1:01:12 > 1:01:14Gentlemen.
1:01:14 > 1:01:18You mustn't upset yourselves because of me.
1:01:18 > 1:01:22I'm not going to keep you from your mountain top.
1:01:23 > 1:01:25Are you feeling better?
1:01:25 > 1:01:27Better?
1:01:30 > 1:01:33Quite better indeed.
1:01:33 > 1:01:34Thank you.
1:01:34 > 1:01:39You see how I get about, gentlemen?
1:01:39 > 1:01:43Like a ghost on a cliff.
1:02:15 > 1:02:16Carla.
1:02:16 > 1:02:20- Yes.- Will you go now?- No.
1:02:21 > 1:02:24It is ridiculous. He wants us to go.
1:02:24 > 1:02:28I want to go. Mr Ordway wants to go,
1:02:28 > 1:02:30if I am not mistaken.
1:02:40 > 1:02:42Yes.
1:02:42 > 1:02:45So there is your majority vote.
1:02:47 > 1:02:49I want to go on more than you do,
1:02:49 > 1:02:53but if we keep breaking up, we have no chance at all.
1:02:53 > 1:02:58There is a way to climb. It is done by people together.
1:02:58 > 1:03:01Give me your hand. I know you don't want to,
1:03:01 > 1:03:04but give it to me anyway.
1:03:04 > 1:03:09Whether I climb this mountain or not is no longer important.
1:03:09 > 1:03:15But you and your Martin should climb it. That is very important indeed.
1:03:15 > 1:03:19You it will free from a great torture.
1:03:19 > 1:03:23What that torture is, I don't know.
1:03:23 > 1:03:28To Martin it will give the strength to believe again
1:03:28 > 1:03:30and to struggle again.
1:03:30 > 1:03:35If you two succeed, it'll be not only for yourselves, but for me
1:03:35 > 1:03:37and for everyone.
1:03:39 > 1:03:43You may think of me what you like,
1:03:43 > 1:03:46but to let me keep you from going on...
1:03:47 > 1:03:50This you cannot do to me.
1:03:50 > 1:03:51Will you go now?
1:03:51 > 1:03:55You will go? Please.
1:03:56 > 1:03:58All right, Paul.
1:03:58 > 1:04:00We will go.
1:04:12 > 1:04:14Where is the other bottle?
1:04:14 > 1:04:18I've hidden it away.
1:04:21 > 1:04:24Today we go up the ridge to our last camp.
1:04:24 > 1:04:28Tomorrow, if the weather is good, we will try for the top.
1:04:28 > 1:04:33The latest we will be back here is the day after tomorrow.
1:04:33 > 1:04:39Will you promise that you will not leave here under any circumstances?
1:04:42 > 1:04:44You will not leave?
1:04:45 > 1:04:46No.
1:04:53 > 1:04:55Better get some sleep, Paul.
1:04:56 > 1:04:58Yes.
1:05:06 > 1:05:07Martin...
1:05:18 > 1:05:19Here.
1:05:35 > 1:05:36Thanks.
1:05:37 > 1:05:42- We'll be back before you know it. - From the top.- From the top.
1:06:09 > 1:06:12We'd better go quickly.
1:06:23 > 1:06:26WIND WHISTLES
1:06:42 > 1:06:45Keep the rope tight. Keep close together.
1:07:20 > 1:07:24- Where are the others? - Looking for shelter.
1:07:24 > 1:07:26Give me the rope.
1:07:26 > 1:07:27Come on.
1:09:05 > 1:09:07Ordway.
1:09:07 > 1:09:09It's time for you to watch.
1:10:03 > 1:10:06Individuals...may falter.
1:10:07 > 1:10:10Whole nations may die.
1:10:10 > 1:10:14But mankind - man himself...
1:10:15 > 1:10:17he will never die.
1:10:18 > 1:10:21He will climb on...
1:10:21 > 1:10:22and on.
1:10:24 > 1:10:26Finis.
1:10:27 > 1:10:29Paul...
1:10:36 > 1:10:37There.
1:10:58 > 1:11:00What do you say now, Astrid?
1:11:00 > 1:11:02It's finished.
1:11:02 > 1:11:04Never mind.
1:11:04 > 1:11:08I know what you'd say.
1:11:08 > 1:11:10Useless.
1:11:11 > 1:11:13Worthless.
1:11:14 > 1:11:16Uninspired.
1:11:17 > 1:11:19How right you are.
1:11:19 > 1:11:24But we know why it's uninspired.
1:11:24 > 1:11:25Don't we...
1:11:25 > 1:11:27Astrid?
1:11:28 > 1:11:32What a happy woman you'll be.
1:11:33 > 1:11:37My failures are complete.
1:12:46 > 1:12:49We can't climb in this, can we?
1:12:51 > 1:12:54Up, no. Down, yeah.
1:12:54 > 1:12:56Down?!
1:12:56 > 1:12:58- He's going to Delambre.- How can he?
1:12:58 > 1:13:02The ridge has been exposed to the wind. The snow will not be deep.
1:13:03 > 1:13:05Shouldn't we take a vote?
1:13:05 > 1:13:12There is no need to be sarcastic. It is my duty and you will lose nothing by it.
1:13:13 > 1:13:16Today we cannot try for the top.
1:13:16 > 1:13:20The snow will not be hard until tomorrow at the earliest.
1:13:20 > 1:13:23By bedtime, I shall be back.
1:13:23 > 1:13:25And if you are not?
1:13:25 > 1:13:28- I shall be.- Andreas...
1:13:29 > 1:13:31- Ja?- Tomorrow is Sunday.
1:13:31 > 1:13:36I know. It is also the last day for which we have food.
1:13:37 > 1:13:39You will wait for me here?
1:13:39 > 1:13:41Of course, Andreas.
1:13:41 > 1:13:45My herd are scattered over the mountain like lost sheep.
1:13:45 > 1:13:47It is very difficult.
1:14:00 > 1:14:03- That is foolish.- What's foolish?
1:14:03 > 1:14:05To smoke at this altitude.
1:14:05 > 1:14:09It's foolish to BE at this altitude without a plane.
1:14:13 > 1:14:15No sign of Andreas yet.
1:14:15 > 1:14:19- He'll be back.- You realise he is not coming back, don't you?
1:14:19 > 1:14:21You think Delambre's in trouble?
1:14:21 > 1:14:25He is not coming back regardless of Delambre.
1:14:25 > 1:14:29- Why not?- Because he is a superstitious peasant
1:14:29 > 1:14:34and he won't climb on Sunday, and he hasn't the willpower.
1:14:34 > 1:14:39- Oh, why don't you stop?- I shall bore you with my opinions no longer.
1:14:39 > 1:14:42Perhaps you would like to know my decision.
1:14:42 > 1:14:44Which is?
1:14:45 > 1:14:49I'm going for the top tomorrow whatever.
1:14:50 > 1:14:52Not without us, you're not.
1:14:52 > 1:14:54I'm going alone.
1:14:54 > 1:14:58If you wish to go also, there's nothing to stop you.
1:14:59 > 1:15:01Except, perhaps, the mountain.
1:15:01 > 1:15:06Willpower is an important thing. The will.
1:15:07 > 1:15:09The will to conquer.
1:15:18 > 1:15:21You guys never give up, do you?
1:15:25 > 1:15:28Martin, please.
1:15:46 > 1:15:50Why argue? You can't reason with a man like that.
1:15:50 > 1:15:52How much is a guy supposed to take?
1:15:52 > 1:15:56Don't do anything now we're so close to the top.
1:15:56 > 1:15:59That's the only thing that's important to you.
1:15:59 > 1:16:03Well, getting to the top isn't going to help you.
1:16:03 > 1:16:10You need to find something that's more important than the mountain or your father. That'll never happen.
1:16:10 > 1:16:14- Don't say that. - Well, it's true, isn't it?
1:18:02 > 1:18:04Our superman has left us.
1:18:14 > 1:18:17- There's nothing you can do about it! - Yes, there is.
1:18:17 > 1:18:20He's going to climb that mountain with us.
1:18:20 > 1:18:24- We cannot go without Andreas. - Why not?- I promised.- I didn't.
1:18:24 > 1:18:29- Martin...- This is a personal thing now between him and me.
1:18:29 > 1:18:32- He's not getting away with it. - Please be careful.
1:18:32 > 1:18:36- Wait! Take my glasses. - You might need them.
1:22:12 > 1:22:15A long hard climb, is it not, Mr Ordway?
1:22:22 > 1:22:28Ahead is a snow bridge. It will not support the weight of a man.
1:22:31 > 1:22:34I shall no longer be able to accommodate you with footprints.
1:22:42 > 1:22:43Here.
1:22:44 > 1:22:47I am going alone, Ordway.
1:22:47 > 1:22:49We're going together.
1:22:49 > 1:22:52You think I need your help?
1:22:52 > 1:22:54Yes, and I need yours.
1:22:54 > 1:22:57- Take the rope.- No.
1:22:57 > 1:23:00We started together, we'll finish together.
1:23:01 > 1:23:05No, we will not finish together. I will finish alone
1:23:05 > 1:23:08and you will not finish at all.
1:23:09 > 1:23:13Shall I tell you why? It is because I am strong
1:23:13 > 1:23:15and you are weak.
1:23:15 > 1:23:19It is because I have the will and you have not.
1:23:19 > 1:23:22I am climbing for a principle.
1:23:22 > 1:23:28A principle of superiority that will live and fight and conquer again.
1:23:29 > 1:23:36You... You are like all the rest. You are not climbing for anything.
1:24:03 > 1:24:05Don't move.
1:24:07 > 1:24:09Give me your hand.
1:24:21 > 1:24:23What's the matter, superman?
1:28:26 > 1:28:28There's only one.
1:28:41 > 1:28:43Martin.
1:28:44 > 1:28:45You're frozen.
1:28:54 > 1:28:58Snow blindness. Best we get him down right away.
1:28:58 > 1:29:01No. Keep on going. You can make it from here.
1:29:03 > 1:29:05Give me your ribbon.
1:29:08 > 1:29:11Please go on, Carla. You can make it.
1:29:19 > 1:29:23- Best we get him down. - Keep going, Carla.
1:29:23 > 1:29:25You can make the top.
1:29:26 > 1:29:31No, Martin. The top is not important anymore.
1:30:25 > 1:30:28- Not too hot.- No, it's good.
1:30:28 > 1:30:30- Come on. Lie down.- Not again.
1:30:30 > 1:30:32- Never mind.- They're fine.
1:30:32 > 1:30:34Be quiet.
1:30:37 > 1:30:40Say, Carla, I was thinking...
1:30:40 > 1:30:45That moment when you decided I was more important than that mountain,
1:30:45 > 1:30:48you sure you'll never regret it?
1:30:48 > 1:30:50Never.
1:30:51 > 1:30:55Say, Nicholas, if an American marries an alien,
1:30:55 > 1:31:00- can he take her to the States?- Yes, but she'd need a good character.
1:31:00 > 1:31:02That's right.
1:31:02 > 1:31:06I never did ask you. Have you got good character?
1:31:07 > 1:31:09It's not bad.
1:31:10 > 1:31:16Today is Thursday. Last train day to Geneva until Monday.
1:31:17 > 1:31:21Four days is a long time to wait when two people want to get married.
1:31:21 > 1:31:26- Yes, but they'll never make it. - The train is never on time.
1:31:26 > 1:31:28- What are we waiting for?- Come on.
1:31:30 > 1:31:32WHISTLE BLOWS
1:31:32 > 1:31:34Think we'll make it?
1:31:34 > 1:31:37We'll make it because it is there.
