Andreas! | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
Come on. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
It's the first time in ten years this train has been on time. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |

-Carla! -Hello, Nicholas. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
It's so good to see you. It's been so long. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
-Andreas. -Welcome back, fraulein. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
-Sorry we were late. -It doesn't matter. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-You look beautiful, Nicholas. -I'm older. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
The world is older. Only Andreas is not older! | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |

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