[knock raps on door]

The mission report, sir.

[footsteps tapping]

[door clicks]

[phone rings]

Yes.

I'm looking at it

now. Mission failed.

All personnel lost.

Negative on a new mission.

All local access

has been cut off.

Yes, sir.

We'll continue to monitor the

area for further power surges

and we will recruit more assets.

[eerie music]

[heavy rock music]

Oh, do you really

wanna fly again

Oh, will you ever

get that high again

Didn't I give

a damn good try

Oh, didn't I

Didn't I build a

world with my design

Still can't fill the

hole you left behind

Long nights

Still can't fill the

hole you left behind

Long nights

Still can't fill the

hole you left behind

[heavy rock music continues]

Oh, do you really

wanna fly again

Oh, will you ever

get that high again

Didn't I give

a damn good try

Oh, didn't I

Didn't I build a

world with my design

Still can't fill the

hole you left behind

Long nights

Still can't fill the

hole you left behind

Long nights

Still can't fill the

hole you left behind

You left behind,

you left behind

[climbers chattering faintly]

-Super excited about that.

-Oh, wow.

[Climber] Yeah. [laughs]

-Well, very nice.

-Right on.

[Climber] I was definitely

wondering what he was thinking.

[Climber] Yeah, it seems like

he just kind of zones

out or something.

[Climber] Yeah, I dunno,

but I don't want him

wind up like Megan.

For sure. I wonder what

actually happened there.

Plus, didn't he take a nasty

fall after that or something?

[Climber] I know I

asked him about it,

but he kind of blew me off.

Yeah, seems like he's

stuck inside his own head.

It's hard to totally

trust someone like that.

But he is super talented.

He just needs to quiet

his mind and lock it in.

Yeah, but that's easier

said than done, isn't it?

Yeah.

Hey guys.

[gentle music]

Hey, Sean.

[gentle music continues]

Hey. Did you guys

hear the news?

-No.

-No.

The Forbidden Wall

just opened up.

I just talked to Brette.

She gave me the whole story.

No way, the Forbidden

Wall is open?

How did that happen?

I'm not sure.

I, I guess the Native council

that oversees the land

approved some expedition.

Hasn't been like 50 years

since anyone's

been back in there?

Not sure,

but it's definitely been

like a long-a*s time.

Wait, didn't something happen

the last time people

went in there?

Like, didn't everyone

die or something?

63 years.

It's been 63 years, and, um,

yeah, everyone was lost,

including my grandfather.

Um, that's really

exciting though.

What, what's the

story? Who's going?

Oh, well it sounds like Kurt

Carpenter hired Colton's crew

and then they'll be

the first ones in,

but I'm, I'm sure they'll

start reaching out

to people soon.

You guys in?

I wish.

I have to go back to the

UK the day after tomorrow,

but maybe when I'm back.

I'm out. I got stuff going on.

I'd love to go. I

hope I get the call.

[gentle music continues]

[keys tapping]

[phone rings]

Yes?

Uh, here it is.

Not much info here,

as the last asset was

lost before debriefing.

It was mission fail.

Of course. We'll have

an asset in place.

[Kurt] So you think

you can make it?

Oh, definitely. I'm

stoked to be invited.

Great. I'll tell

Colton you're in.

And that about

fills out the team.

Can you leave right away?

I'm packing. I'll be out

the door in a few hours.

I'll send over the directions

to where we'll be set up.

We can't get as

close as we'd like,

but the hike in

should be manageable.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Besides, I like a

good hike anyway.

[Kurt] You sure

you're good, Sean?

I totally get it if

it doesn't feel right.

No.

You can wait for Baffin Island.

I'm totally good, okay?

Listen, no problems whatsoever.

Besides, it's too cold

up in Baffin. [laughs]

Hey, now it's not like it's

Antarctica or something.

Thanks, Sean.

I'm really glad

you're on the team.

Yeah, me too. Thanks for

the opportunity, seriously.

[knock raps on door]

-Yeah.

Hey, I gotta go.

I'm out the door in a few

hours, I promise, okay?

-Sounds good.

-All right, bye.

Looks like you're going, huh?

Word travels fast. Just

got done talking with Kurt.

-And?

-He invited me.

I said yes.

[Connor sighs]

Can we at least have a

conversation about this?

Why? [scoffs] So you

can talk me out of it.

Your mother and I

just wanna make sure

you're thinking

about everything,

that's all.

-Ah. So mom sent you.

[scoffs] Okay.

Well you can spare me the

lecture, 'cause I'm going.

Look, we just don't want

anything to happen to you,

especially there.

I'm sure you can

understand that.

Yeah.

No, I get it. I get it.

Your dad died there,

and I'm, I'm really sorry

that that happened

to him and to you,

but I gotta do this.

Why? Why do you

have to do this?

Because he didn't make it?

No, no, hey, whoa.

Come on, Dad.

It's pulling at me,

like this huge magnet,

and, and you don't

know how that feels.

You're right.

But I know what it feels

like to lose someone,

and I promised myself

that if I ever had a son,

that I would be there for him.

And that meant making decisions,

and, and, and making it about

someone other than myself.

Well, you made it.

I'm all grown up. Congrats.

You, you, you don't need

to keep protecting

yourself, or me.

All right.

Dad.

It's the best

climbers in the world,

and I'm one of them.

[laughs] I can do this.

I'll be safe.

Don't worry.

You're just attempting a

climb that's never been done,

but, you know, eh, what's

there to worry about.

[sighs] Seriously, Sean,

it's a really dangerous climb.

No one has been up there since-

I know. That was 60 years ago.

Our gear is way

better, way safer.

I know that. I know, I

know you have all this.

But things can still go wrong.

I mean, remember Megan,

and, and and your own fall.

It's, it- Jesus Christ.

Seems like you're a little

off lately, that's all.

Really? You too, Dad?

Wow, okay. Thanks

for the pep talk.

Son, I didn't mean it like that.

You, you are an amazingly

talented climber,

and I have always

supported this journey.

[gentle music continues]

Ah, look, I know I can't

stop you from going.

Just want you to get back okay.

Making it to the top

is not worth your life.

It's just, it's

just not worth it.

Don't worry.

Yeah, no, I, no, I worry.

That's what this dad does.

Your mother's

pretty worried, too,

but you know how

she gets about this.

I'm sorry. I'm not doing

it on purpose, but-

I know.

You're just gonna have to

trust me on this one, okay?

Any idea why the tribe

is allowing access now?

I mean it seems so

out of the blue.

[Sean] I don't know.

All I know,

is they're only inviting

a few people back there.

They usually don't let

anyone near that thing.

Well, they've done it before.

They sure did.

I'm still going, Dad.

Yeah, I know. I know.

Just make it back

okay, all right?

I can't lose someone

else to that damn thing.

[gentle music]

[gentle music continues]

Am I brave enough?

Am I strong enough

To follow the desire

That burns from within

To push away my fear

To stand where I'm afraid

I am through with this

'Cause I am more than this

I promise to myself

Alone and no one else

My flame is rising higher

I am the fire

I am burning brighter

Roaring like a storm

And I am the one

I've been waiting for

Screaming like a siren

Alive and burning brighter

I am the fire

[heavy rock music]

[heavy rock music continues]

[heavy rock music continues]

[Radio Announcer] For the

first time in 63 years,

the rock face known

as the Forbidden Wall

is now accessible.

The tribal council that oversees

the land voted last week

to allow a climbing expedition

access to the remote wall.

The area's been

strictly off-limits

ever since the ill-fated

expedition way back in 1959.

The tribe is. [button clicks]

[heavy metal music

plays faintly]

Hey. Is this the way

for climbing access?

Yeah. You on the

climbing team?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm just trying to

figure out where they're at.

Yeah, we'll just keep going.

You'll see the

trailers up ahead.

Okay.

It's kind of bogus,

if you ask me.

I think everyone should

be able to climb.

Are you're trying

to climb the wall?

Yeah, except I wanna

base jump off the top.

-[laughs] Wow, man.

-f*ck' eh, man.

Go big or go home.

Well, good luck with your jump.

Hey, maybe you can

help me out a little?

Maybe get him to let me

park up there at the base?

[laughs] Dude, I don't know

if you're talking

to the right guy.

I have zero pull, man.

Well put it in a good

word for me, yeah?

All right, yeah. I'll

see what I can do.

Hope you make your jump.

Hey man, the only way

to fall is with a chute.

[gentle music]

[gentle music continues]

[birds chirping]

[gentle music]

[Sean sighs]

Well, well, well.

Hey, Colton.

How's it going?

It's going great.

We got a good setup.

The weather seems to be

holding. Ready to do this.

I'm glad you came.

It must be, uh, must

be a bit hard for you.

It's a bit strange, for sure,

but I wasn't gonna miss this.

Any idea why the

tribe opened it up?

Sitting down with

Chief Guyustees

in a couple hours to go over it.

I'm not sure why they did

it, and I'm not complaining.

[Sean laughs]

But they only wanted the one

team, so you know, here we are.

So nobody else gets to climb?

As of right now, just the

eight people on our team.

Not sure if they'll let

another group up after us.

Well, I'm ready, so

tell me when, all right?

Copy that. Go get some rest.

You look like

sh*t. [Sean laughs]

But hey, having a team

briefing later, so stay close.

[birds chirping]

[gentle music]

[phone buzzing]

[Sean sighs]

-Hey dad.

-Hey, hey, bud.

How's it going?

I'm here. Just waiting to

figure out the details.

I was napping.

Okay, when do you

think you'll know?

I don't know. Should

be soon, though.

He doesn't know when

he's starting yet, honey.

Well, well, well, let us

know when you know, okay?

Okay, dad. I will tell

Mom not to worry, okay?

Yeah. Yeah. Well you

know how that goes.

You just take care, all right?

[phone buzzing]

Hey, uh, I gotta go. I'm

gonna find out soon, okay?

I'll call or text

you later, all right?

[Connor] All right,

all right. Bye.

[phone beeps]

Colton.

Hey.

-What's up?

Just about to start the meeting.

I just wanna talk

more about the team,

'cause I want to climb.

And we've been over this.

You're staying down

here as the coordinator.

You don't think I'm good

enough? That's it, right?

Of course you're good enough,

but the plan has always been

for you to stay on the ground.

Hey, that was your

plan, not mine.

And I don't think

you want me up there

because you know I'm gonna

call you out on your bullshit.

[Colton laughs]

Look,

you'll do as I say, okay?

This is my company,

my expedition,

and the decision has been

made, and you are not climbing.

That's final.

Whatever you say, boss.

-Damn right.

-Yeah.

[Colton sighs]

-Hey.

-What?

[gentle music continues]

[footsteps crunching]

I know you want to climb,

but I need you down here

handling things, okay?

You're the only

one who can do it.

Fine

If we get a second

team on the wall, if,

you can climb, but for

now, I need you down here.

All good?

Sure.

Fantastic.

Hoo-hoo-hoo. Lovers' spat?

So funny. Are you

ready for tomorrow?

Yeah, I should be.

I mean we're still waiting

on the max signal booster,

but I doubt we'll even need it.

Well, I don't wanna

hear "should be,"

because we don't have

visual on these guys,

so comms are gonna

be crucial, yeah?

I'm on it.

All right, you better

be, you weirdo.

Yeah, this is gonna be fun.

This is gonna be

fun. [hand thumps]

[group chatting and laughing]

Quiet down,

people. Quiet down.

Okay, first things first.

I'm in charge, end of story.

You don't like it,

there's the door.

I've got 30 other people

ready to replace you.

Good.

Now, we don't know how

long the weather will hold,

so speed will be the priority.

Guyustees said it should

be about a week or so.

We're already two days in,

so we need to get

this show on the road.

Be climbing three teams of two

with two of you on standby.

The teams will be Jessie

and myself, Emily and Lucky,

Kristen and Brad.

Sean, you and Justin will be

on standby if anyone needs help

or, uh, anything else comes up.

Oh,

the chief wanted an

international flavor

to the team,

so here representing the

crown, everyone, welcome Brad.

Cheers, mate.

I'm just chuffed

to be here, guys.

All right, moving right along.

Now we don't have much info,

but it appears to be

pretty solid granite.

There might be a crack system

running up through here.

Looks like all possible lines

head up to this crux area.

So we'll spread out the three

teams, converge on the crux,

three days, two nights

tops, and move fast.

Are we using aid or trying

to free climb the road?

Climbing looks tough, [sighs]

which just could be

anywhere from 5.11s to 5.13,

so to go fast we'll

probably use some aid.

What about probe? Are

you putting bolts?

Negative on bolts.

Okay, the chief was very

specific about this.

This is a sacred mountain, so

nothing goes into the rock.

We'll use cams and nuts.

Look, guys, obviously safety's

the top priority, okay?

But there's a reason

that each and every

one of you are here.

You can climb this.

Is there a walk off?

Doubtful. Plan is to

rap down the face.

Hey, sorry to interrupt.

The chief needs to see

you for a few minutes.

Guys, this is Kerrie.

She'll be on top of things

down here and make no mistake,

she is the boss.

Well, almost.

It's nice to see you guys.

Nice to see a few

familiar faces.

I look forward to

working with you.

Hey, Chief, we're

almost finished.

No rush. I'd like to

talk to everybody anyway.

Of course, team, this

is Chief Guyustees.

He oversees this land,

so please give him

your utmost respect.

Thank you, Colton.

Thank you for traveling

all the way up

to the middle of nowhere

to our little community.

It's been a long time

since we allowed anyone

to approach the wall, let

alone attempt to climb it.

Our council debated

whether to allow access,

but we felt this was the right

time and the right people.

There are rules,

so keep in mind this

is for your own safety.

Only the climbers are

allowed in the area,

and we will offer

support when needed.

And we ask that any

other outsiders stay out.

Again, this is for your safety.

If Colton hasn't

already mentioned it,

please do not

deface the mountain.

It is sacred land to our people.

[Chief Guyustees speaks

in foreign language]

I made that a priority, Chief.

We'll be good stewards of

the land while we're here,

I can assure you of that,

and we are all very grateful

for this opportunity.

Good luck to you all,

and hope the great Raven

Spirit lifts you up.

And I'm sure we'll be seeing

some of you down the road.

Thank you, Chief. Kerrie

and I'll be right with you.

Thanks, Chief.

Okay, everybody get some rest.

Breakfast is at 4:30,

we start at 5:30.

They say it's a

three-hour approach,

so we're gonna do

it in half that.

See Kerrie later if you

need any portage or gear.

If you're sleeping in a

van, you can park it here.

Otherwise put your tent nearby.

All right, that's it.

Thanks guys.

Wow. Seems like it's

gonna be a banger, right?

Oh, we just need

to get up as fast.

Easy for you to say.

You're the speed queen.

Hey Jessie is just

as fast as me.

No way.

I could barely keep up

with you on the Sky Tower.

Yeah, well you

shouldn't have been out

on the strip all night.

[Jessie] Hindsight's 20/20.

[laughs] Well that sounds

like a good time to me.

Be careful what you ask for.

Everything is a

competition with her.

Hey, it's not my fault

that everyone is slow.

Hey, we're not slow,

we're just not fast.

Oh, okay.

[group laughs]

So, uh, Sean,

anything you can tell

us about the climb?

Um, no, no. Nothing that

we don't already know.

I'm sorry about your

grandfather, Sean.

[gentle music]

It's okay.

It's a difficult climb, and

he, uh, just didn't make it.

Well, I might not be

climbing tomorrow,

but I still gotta get ready.

Not in my 20s anymore, so

I'll see you all later.

Yep, uh, same.

Basically on site and

just wanting be prepared.

Same.

Well, that ended

quickly. Time to pack.

-All right, time to go.

-Hey, are you okay?

I'm sorry I brought

your grandfather up.

No, no, no, no, I'm fine, yeah.

I mean I guess everybody

knows about that, so. [laughs]

I'm sure you're tired

of talking about it.

No, it's fine. It's fine.

I mean I didn't really know him,

so it doesn't affect me much,

and, you know, people

want to know, so.

He wasn't the only

one that died here.

Um, we need to climb

together sometime,

maybe in the Valley.

-Yeah, yeah.

I'd make the trip up, for sure.

I remember hearing about

some impressive free

solos you did. [laughs]

Still have a death wish?

No, no, no. Haven't

been doing that lately.

Sticking with ropes.

[eerie music]

[intense music]

[intense music continues]

[Kerrie] Come in, team.

This is base camp.

[audio crackling]

[Colton] I can

barely hear you guys.

-Do you copy?

-Kerrie, dammit,

you get the signal cleaned up.

We're gonna lose comms.

Yeah, copy that, Colton.

We will see what we can do.

Base camp out.

[static buzzing]

Hey, what is with

all the static?

Colton says it's

giving him a hard time.

Yeah, I'm working on it.

I'm not exactly sure

where it's coming from.

-That's encouraging.

-It's kind of weird.

[Kerrie] Weird.

[knock raps on door]

Yeah?

-Hey.

-Hey.

-How's it going up there?

-Uh, it's great.

They're a bit behind, but

they're making progress.

How far up are they?

Can't see 'em, so we

don't exactly know.

Okay, well I'm around

if you need me.

All right.

See ya.

[gear clinking] [climber

breathing heavily]

[energetic music]

[gear clinking]

[energetic music continues]

[energetic music continues]

Okay guys, let's stop for now.

Set up camp when you get

some good anchors in.

[wind whistling]

[gentle music]

[Emily] Um, You just,

you don't really

know who to count on.

[Lucky] How high was

the [speaks faintly]

[eerie music]

[eerie music continues]

Hello, Sean.

How'd you know it was me?

How do you know my name?

The Ravens told me you

were out for a walk.

I've been waiting

to talk to you.

Me?

What, what, what for?

You need to finish what

your grandfather couldn't.

Oh sh*t. You too.

I'm not talking about the climb.

He made it to the top.

You, you know about this. How?

What I know was passed

down many generations.

There's an evil on

top of the rock,

a nameless presence

trying to escape.

The stories tell the evil

that came from the sky

hundreds of years ago.

It drove our ancestors mad.

Our greatest warrior

was able to contain it

on top of the rock.

What does this,

what does this have to

do with my grandfather?

It needs two people to escape.

Your grandfather sacrificed

himself to protect the world.

I'm not sure I get it.

Why did he have to

sacrifice himself?

What, what exactly is up there?

I don't know exactly

what is up there.

The stories tell of spirits

that could break

into people's minds.

Did he know?

Did he know what was up there?

He did.

I mean, he still went. Why,

why, why would he do that?

He knew what was at stake,

but he went willingly.

I wasn't an elder back then,

but I knew they decided to act

for the same reason

he acted now.

So you knew all about this.

Why, why would you

let anyone climb?

The [indistinct]

power is fading.

There are several governments

that know about the

strange power here.

If that evil were

able to get out,

there's no telling what it can

do and where it would stop.

[sighs] We can only keep

them away for so long.

You need to pick up where

your grandfather left off

and seal that evil in forever.

You want me to do what, exactly?

You want me to go up there, and?

No, we need to get everyone

down as fast as we can,

not go up.

-No.

It must be sealed in.

What am I supposed to do?

I'm just a rock climber.

That's where you're wrong.

You're strong

enough to reach it,

and you're strong enough

to keep it at bay.

Keep it at bay?

When you're high in the air,

doing something that most

people think is dangerous,

is the noise loud in your head?

No, no, no, it's not it.

I'm totally focused on the now,

not thinking about what

I'll do for dinner,

what my girlfriend's doing.

I'm, I'm, I'm just living,

just breathing, quiet.

The quiet is its weakness.

Embrace the quiet in your

head and block out the noise

and you can defeat it.

Maybe the stories aren't true,

maybe it's old superstition,

maybe nothing happens,

but what happened 60

years ago happened,

so you must prepare yourself.

Take this. [object rattling]

[gentle music]

It carries the Raven's

spirit. [object rattling]

Remember the quiet.

Hey, whoa, whoa, wait,

wait a minute. That's it?

I have nothing more to

tell. It's out my hands now.

[footsteps crunching]

f*ck.

[gentle music]

[wind whistling]

You asleep?

Not yet. Pretty

tough to sleep.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Wish we could climb in the dark.

[laughs] Yeah, I'm out on that.

Can I ask you something?

[light clicks]

Sure.

Why do people call you Lucky?

Well, when I was younger,

I lived up in Telluride,

and, uh, for some stupid reason,

I got really into ice climbing.

So me and my buddy decided

to climb this 100-foot ice

hill called Silver Pick.

We got there, and there was like

this hollowed-out ice chimney

that goes maybe three

quarters of the way up.

There's no way either

of us could have led it,

but my buddy had

delusions of grandeur

'cause of this climb and

'cause of this chimney.

And he thought he'd

make his way up in that

and then figure out the rest.

Gets maybe 50 feet up,

runs outta screws, and

decides to come back down.

-No way.

-Yeah.

So I decide, 'cause

I'm an idiot,

that I'll give it a shot

and at least get some

of the screws back.

So here I go up this chimney,

and it's going great.

So, ready to get to the top,

and that's when the fun began.

I proceeded to try to smash

my way outta this chimney.

By some miracle, I'm

able to pull myself out

and onto the overhang.

At this point, my arms

are completely blown up

and I really need to

recover, so I grab a screw,

which happens to be

a thick belay screw,

and as I'm putting

it in, I drop it.

-sh*t.

-Yeah.

I look down and I only

have one screw left,

which is not enough

to get to the top.

At this point, my arms are

shaking and I'm gonna peel soon,

so I grab the screw,

start hammering it in.

I'm holding with my

teeth so I don't drop it.

Finally get the screw

in, able to rest on it.

Buddy thinks I

should just come down

and sacrifice the one screw,

but I'm thinking I

have real shot at this,

so I rest for a bit

and decided to blast

up the last 15 feet.

Within than five feet,

my arms are cramping and

shaking, and I totally fell.

Holy sh*t, dude.

[laughs] Yeah.

Thankfully, the screw held.

Otherwise I would've ping

ponged down the chimney

with spikes on my feet and arms.

Not exactly what you want.

So what did you do?

Rested for a bit and

eventually dropped down.

So stupid though.

Then a few weeks later,

I was doing the O chute in Ophir

and like as soon as I drop in,

I lose a ski and

start to tumble.

I fell like a few hundred

feet down the chute

Missed the rocks,

and I was okay,

but never found

that ski, though.

Just skied back down to Ophir

on one ski and deep pow.

Totally sucked.

I guess you were lucky.

Yeah.

So, after emerging from those

two close calls and escaped,

people started to call me Lucky.

All right. It's getting hairy.

[eerie sound rumbling]

[intense music]

-What's happening?

-Get get outta my head.

-Where is it?

-Make it stop.

-Get out of my head.

-Is it here?

-Make it stop.

-Where am I?

-Is it here?

-Is it here?

-Get out of my head.

-Is it here?

-Someone make it stop.

-Is it gone?

-What's happening to me?

-Make it stop!

[Emily] Get out of my head.

[intense music continues]

[Emily breathing heavily]

-Get out of my head.

-Is it here?

Where am I?

-Get out of my head.

[Lucky] Where is it? Am I me?

[Kristen gasping]

[Charles] I am Charles

Lewis. I love my mother.

[climbers' voices overlapping]

[intense music continues]

[eerie sound echoing]

[Colton breathing heavily]

Hey, uh, everyone good?

[Lucky] What just happened?

[Brad] Yeah, what

the hell was that?

[Emily] Is it gone?

I'm not sure.

If we're all clear,

we should keep moving.

We still got a ways to go.

Base camp, do you copy?

[static hissing]

What the hell just happened?

I have no idea.

Some sort of interference?

Colton, this is base

camp. Do you copy?

Anyone, do you copy? Repeat.

Colton? You hear

me? [static hissing]

[radio chirps]

-Yep.

What's going on? We

just don't have comms?

I have no idea.

I mean, I'm working on it,

but I keep needing

to boost the signal.

Well keep boosting.

Get it back.

Now, what the hell?

[door clicks]

Hey, Kerrie, do

you have a second?

No, actually no, Sean, not now.

Okay, we're dealing

with a comms issue.

We just lost contact

with the team.

The, the chief told me some

really crazy sh*t last night.

Okay, Sean, not now, okay?

All right. [Kerrie sighs]

Look, I, I think you

really might want-

Sean, I'm gonna need you to go.

All right.

[Sean sighs] [gentle music]

Hoo-hoo-hoo. Scary Kerrie.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sean, hold up. Uh, sorry.

Sorry, I'm a little

bit stressed.

So go ahead. What

kind of crazy sh*t?

Look, I, I don't even know

how to explain it, okay?

He's talking about some

kind of evil presence

that makes people go insane.

Uh, okay.

All right, Sean, my suggestion

is don't eat the mushrooms

when you're in the forest.

-Yeah. All right.

-Okay.

Come on. Kerrie, you know me.

I know this sounds crazy.

The only evil up there is

what they take with him.

Nature is neutral.

[door slams]

[eerie music]

[Jessie breathing heavily]

Slack. Colton,

gimme some slack.

[eerie music]

[Colton groans]

Sorry about that.

You're really moving fast.

[Emily grunting]

[intense music]

[intense music continues]

[gear clicking]

[intense music continues]

Hey, it is looking a

little gnarly down here.

Might have to go five to

10 feet without probes,

so watch out for a whipper.

Copy. You got this.

-Sweet, perfect. Thanks.

-Oh, there you are.

I've been looking

all over for you.

Here I am. What's up?

I need to talk to you, okay?

Okay. All good?

[wind whistling]

[rope whirring]

[wind whistling continues]

Hey Brad, are you okay?

[wind whistling continues]

Brad, do you copy?

[Colton] Everything

good over there?

Uh, yeah, I think so, um,

Brad's in a tricky spot

and I can't contact him.

[Colton] Okay, keep me posted.

Hello there, team.

This is base camp.

Does anyone copy?

[radio chirps]

Hello, team. This is base camp.

Anyone there? Over.

[radio chirps]

[static hissing] Hey

guys, somebody talk to me.

This is base camp

calling the team. Over.

[rope whirring]

Brad, what's going on?

[gear clatters]

Brad, your rack!

[static squealing]

Okay, what's going on out there?

Someone talk to me. Over

[Kristen panting]

Brad?

-Hey guys. Radio check.

-Copy.

-Copy that.

-Copy here, too.

[eerie music]

Kristen, Brad, do you copy?

[rock scraping]

You coming down?

[rock scraping continues]

[eerie music continues]

[Brad wheezing]

[Brad wheezing]

[Kristen's Mom] Don't

cry. Mommy's here now.

[overlapping voices echoing]

This will all be over soon.

[intense sound rumbles]

Come on, Kristen.

[overlapping voices echoing]

Mommy's here now.

[intense music]

Brad, stop. What

are you doing?

Brad, stop. What are you doing?

Stop it. [gasping]

Brad, stop. Stop.

No!

[intense music]

No.

[intense music continues]

No, don't do this.

[intense music continues]

Brad, no! Brad!

[Kristen cries]

[static buzzing]

Whoa. What was that?

That, that sounded like a...

Okay, come on, help

me out here, guys.

Somebody talk to

me. What's going on?

[Kristen whimpering]

[Kristen whimpering]

[static buzzing]

[gear clicks] [Kristen crying]

[static buzzing]

[Kristen crying]

Kristen? Kristen, you

okay? [radio chirps]

Base camp, do you copy?

Brad has fallen.

Repeat, Brad fell.

He's gone.

[radio crackling]

Kristen, what happened?

[static crackling]

Come on, man, clean it up.

[Colton] Kristen, what happened?

He fell and I couldn't save him.

[radio crackling]

[Radio groans]

Kristen?

Come in, Kristen. What happened?

[Colton] What? That

doesn't make any sense.

I know it doesn't make sense.

I can't explain it, okay?

He just went, he just

went f*cking crazy.

[Colton] Okay, okay, calm down.

Can you...

Okay, you guys get your

gear. Get ready to climb.

-Will do.

-Okay.

[static hissing]

Kristen, you okay? Can

you tell me what happened?

Brad, do you copy?

[radio chirps] Does

anyone else copy?

[Colton] Can you climb down?

Negative. I've lost the rope

and I don't have the rack.

[Colton] Did you make

contact with base camp?

Did they know what happened?

I don't know.

Transmissions were breaking up,

and I, I'm not sure

sure what they heard.

I can't contact them.

Stay put. We'll

figure something out.

Kristen or Brad, do you copy?

Colton, do you copy?

All right, Sean, Justin,

you are clear to climb.

I want you to head up

Brad and Kristen's line.

Hopefully you get up there

and we can make radio contact.

Over. [radio chirps]

[Sean] Copy that. On our way.

We gotta move fast.

-Right behind you.

Tell me the rest of the

chief's story on the way.

[heavy metal music

plays faintly]

Okay everyone, here's the deal.

I'm gonna climb up to Jessie,

and we're gonna swing over to

meet up with Emily and Lucky.

It's a straight

shot up from there.

Kristen, you stay put.

Wait for Sean and Justin.

If I know Kerrie, she

already sent them up

as soon as she lost contact.

[Lucky] Are you still

thinking of climbing

after what happened?

[Emily] Wait, we're just

gonna leave Kristen there?

We need to make sure she's okay.

It's tragic what

happened to Brad,

but it's still my call.

If I say we go, we go.

We'll discuss it when

we meet up, and yes,

we're gonna let Sean and

Justin do their jobs.

End of debate. Out.

[Justin] Chief's story's

pretty out there.

I mean it seems crazy, but I

feel like it was the truth.

But if it's true,

we probably shouldn't

be climbing up there.

You didn't tell me everything

that Chief said, did you?

No, yeah, yeah I did.

Yeah, that was everything.

You sure you're ready for this?

Yeah, yeah, dude, I'm good.

All right.

You want the first pitch?

Sure, why not?

[intense music]

[Kristen panting]

[intense music continues]

[wind whistling]

[intense music continues]

[Kristen gasps]

Oh my god. Oh my God.

[Kristen panting]

[heavy rock music]

[heavy rock music continues]

[heavy rock music continues]

[heavy rock music continues]

[heavy rock music continues]

[heavy rock music continues]

[heavy rock music continues]

[intense music]

-Ah sh*t.

[body thumps] Dammit!

Are you okay?

Yeah. Just gimme a

minute to shake it off.

Yeah, yeah, I got

you. Take your time.

I think I may have

a problem here.

How bad is it?

I can't put any weight on it.

All right, I'm gonna lower

you down to me, okay?

Okay. Yeah, go ahead.

[rope whirring]

[Justin breathing heavily]

Dammit. I wrecked

myself pretty good.

Sorry, brother.

We just need to figure out

how to get down safely.

But if we go down...

Kristen is stranded.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

We can't just leave

her there. All right.

You take the extra rope

and a few rap anchors

and you get yourself down.

I'll take this rope,

the rack, the haul bag,

and I'll climb up to her, okay?

I don't think it's very

far. I think I can make it.

I don't think I can

make it down by myself.

All right, let's call it in.

We'll tell Kerrie, and

then we'll figure it out.

Hey, uh, base camp, this

is Sean. Do you copy?

Justin hurt his leg.

He's gonna be okay, but

he can't continue. Over.

[Kerrie] Copy that.

What's your situation?

I'm fine, but Justin

needs to come down.

[Kerrie] Are you

both coming down?

Somebody still needs

to help Kristen.

[Kerrie] So what are you saying?

What I'm saying is that I'm

gonna help Justin get down

and then I'm gonna help Kristen.

Hi.

Are you hearing this?

Sean, just hang on a

minute. [radio chirps]

You can go up there alone?

I mean, can't just

leave her up there.

Good point.

[Kerrie] Sean, Justin,

this is Kerrie.

Stay where you are.

I'm coming to get you. You copy?

Yeah, we copy. Are

you coming up to here?

[Kerrie] Yes.

I'll help get Justin down,

and then we can get Kristen.

So drop your rope as

low as you can get it,

and I'll have someone

belay me from the bottom.

Should be enough

to get me to you.

She's a good climber.

Still gonna take a little while

for her to get here, though.

Yeah, too long. I need

to be climbing like now.

Yeah, we copy.

All right. You

belay me from here.

I'm gonna run the rope

up as high as it'll go.

I'll untie, drop the rope

back down for Kerrie,

and that should leave me with

just a little bit of ways

to go without a rope.

Are you sure?

You don't know the route,

you don't know exactly

where she's at.

Yeah. Yeah.

There's no room

for mental lapses.

I'll be fine. I got it.

I'll just follow the chalk line

and then maybe when

I get close enough,

the radio we'll be back up.

Hey, it's your call.

So you're really going up there?

What else am I supposed to do?

[Radio] Even though Colton

said for us to stay right here?

Oh, oh, Colton.

Yeah, Colton says

a lot of things,

and we can't talk

to Colton right now,

and he can't say anything to us.

So I'm gonna gear up.

I'm gonna go out there.

I'm gonna bring Justin back,

and hopefully I'll

be back before dark.

[Radio] Who's going

up there with you?

Tommy. He's more than

capable of belaying me.

All right, uh, stay here.

Figure this out.

[gentle music]

Yeah.

Oh, Chief Guyustees.

Did you recover him?

Yes. The body has

been brought back.

Here's the camera.

Thank you. I'm really

sorry about this.

We're gonna check the camera

and see if it caught

what happened.

It's not always what you can

see. It's what you can hear.

Okay.

Listen, we have an injured

climber on the wall,

so I'm- Do not go any higher

than the one with

the injured leg.

It's for your own safety.

Okay. No problem.

Sean has already left,

and out of reach.

What?

Here, um, check the footage

from the helmet cam, please.

I, I gotta run.

[static buzzing]

-Are you? Oh, okay.

Okay.

Yikes.

[switch clicks]

[static buzzing]

-Huh.

That's weird.

Oh, this is gonna take a while.

Lucky, Emily, do you copy?

[Lucky] Yeah. What's up?

[Colton] You start

veering to your left.

We'll start veering

to the right.

We should meet up

on the pitch or so.

[Lucky] Copy that.

Colton to base camp.

Do you copy? Over.

Base camp, this is Colton.

Do you copy? Over.

[intense music]

[intense music continues]

[Sean breathing heavily]

[intense music continues]

[gentle music]

[Sean] Justin, do you copy?

[Justin] Yeah, I copy.

I'm at the end of the

rope. Dropping it down.

[Justin] Copy

that. Bombs away.

Rope!

[intense music]

Okay. I'm now off-rope.

Copy that. Stay

strong and good luck.

[intense music continues]

[Kerrie] Uh, on the

wall and climbing.

Copy. The rope is

down there for you.

[Kerrie] See you soon.

[intense music]

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

[Kerrie breathing heavily]

[gear clicking]

[intense music continues]

[Kerrie grunting]

[intense music continues]

[Sean gasping]

[intense music continues]

[Sean breathing heavily]

[intense music]

[Connor] Making it to the

top, it's just not worth it.

[Climber] I don't wanna

wind up like Megan.

[Sean wails]

[Megan] Sean? I'm falling!

Sean!

[Chief Guyustees] Remember

the quiet. Remember the quiet.

Remember the quiet.

[Sean breathes deeply]

[Kristen] Can anybody hear me?

Yeah, yeah, Kristen.

This is Sean. I hear you.

I'm on my way over to you. Over.

[Kristen] Sean, where are you?

Not far from you, just below.

[Kristen] Who's with

you? Can you see me?

It's just me.

[laughs] Long story.

Uh, I can't see you

yet, but I'm on my way.

Signing off to

concentrate. Over.

[Kristen] Copy.

Be careful, Sean.

[intense music]

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

[Kerrie panting]

Glad you made it.

[Kerrie panting]

Thanks for bail me out.

-Don't mention it.

You gonna be okay to get down?

Yeah, I think so.

Okay. Sean?

Hopefully already with Kristen.

Jesus Christ. What a

stupid thing to do.

Yeah.

He hasn't peeled yet,

so there's still hope.

Any radio contact?

Okay.

It's okay. They're

outta reach.

Did really well, but

we have to go down.

[intense music]

Kerrie, it is time to go.

Yeah, yeah. All right.

[intense music continues]

Okay, let's see if

there's anything on here.

Oh, at least it was recording.

Whoa. [static buzzing]

Holy sh*t.

Brad, stop, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

Stop, stop. Don't do it.

[audio crackling]

No, no.

[static crackling]

[static rumbling]

[static rumbling continues]

Oh, thank you, Tony.

[intense music]

[Kristen breathing deeply]

Are you there, Sean?

Sean, can you hear me?

I'm here. I hear you.

I can see you.

Another 10 minutes.

[Kristen] Okay.

[Sean breathing heavily]

[Sean panting]

Well that was fun. [laughs]

I cannot believe you did that.

Thank you. I owe you.

I couldn't just

leave you up here.

It was an easy decision.

Okay. Let's get

ready for the night.

[intense music]

[wind whistling]

[Emily] [sighs] Man,

Colton seems pissed.

[Lucky] When isn't he pissed?

Poor Jess.

Has anyone heard from

Kristen? Base camp?

Nope.

[Jessie] Don't you think

that's kind of weird?

I'm sure Kristen's fine.

There's nothing to worry about.

What? Just magically fine?

Look, I don't know

about this, Colton.

This is super sketchy.

We just left her.

It's totally not cool.

-I have confidence in Kerrie,

and in Sean and in Justin.

We continue the climb.

All right.

[Emily sighs]

Colton seems determined

to finish this climb.

Shocker.

Something seems off

about this whole thing.

What do you mean?

How many climbs have you

been on where someone died?

None.

Well, I have. We stopped

after it happened.

[Emily sighs]

Just seems like,

like,

like we're being driven up

this wall, no matter what.

[sighs] I dunno.

[sighs] Look, I, I think

everyone is just anxious.

And trying to do something

that's never been done?

I mean, yeah, it's horrible

what happened with Brad,

but if Colton wants to

continue, I'm good with it.

Will you be?

[eerie music]

Thank you for saving my life.

I'm sure you would've

done the same for me.

[laughs] I don't think so.

I'm not really a

free solo climber.

It's really not that different

from climbing on the

rope. [Kristen laughs]

Yeah right. It's

a bit different.

Did it feel good to

be free soloing again?

Yeah, it did. Yeah.

I just love that

feeling, you know?

Just being totally locked in,

you're not thinking of anything

except that section of

rock that you're on.

It's total concentration

with a clear mind.

So what happened?

[gentle music]

I don't know.

He was above me

and I couldn't see,

and then the next thing I know,

the rope comes down,

and then his rack.

And then he, um,

started to climb down

like a spider.

What?

Wait, wait, wait. Like a spider?

Yeah. No rope, just climbing

straight down, crawling.

What the f*ck?

And then what happened?

Then he tried to

undo my anchors.

And then I heard

these voices [sniffs]

that sounded like my mom.

And then right before he

pushed me off the rock,

he made this awful

noise, and then...

Hey, hey, hey.

It's okay. It's okay.

[Kristen crying]

And then he fell and

I couldn't save him.

[Kristen crying]

Hey, um, I need to talk

to you about something.

So that's it? We're

climbing tomorrow?

You're damn right.

I'm sorry for what

happened to Brad. I am.

But he knew the risk,

and this is literally a

once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

We don't even know

what happened to him.

And that matters?

How? Hmm?

He fell. It doesn't

matter how he fell.

All we need to do is stay

focused, and we won't fall.

You're pretty hard on Lucky.

I don't care. He knows

what's at stake here.

Prick.

[insects chirping] [Kerrie

and Justin panting]

-Oh, sorry I'm so slow.

-Hey come on. You're fine.

[intense music] Just

here, watch the,

watch it.

-Oh my God!

-Jesus!

-Oh, it's you. Thank God.

-f*ck.

We need to get back to

camp like right now.

What is it you think

we're doing exactly, huh?

Okay. Seriously though.

You need to see this.

You need to hear it, too.

It is crazy.

-Okay, slow down.

We can't go any

faster, all right?

Sorry. I can't go any faster.

No, you're fine. You're fine.

What are you doing out here?

Well, I, I, I came out

to put up the big booster

that Tony gave to me,

but apparently the

tribe doesn't like

having non-climbers

on their land.

So I think I got rid of them,

but I, I really should

not be here anymore.

Yeah, go. We will

meet you there.

Okay. Hurry, please.

Okay. Come on.

So there's an evil

entity up here,

and it drives people mad?

Sort of.

Look,

it sounds like that might've

been what happened to Brad.

I mean, you said he

went crazy, right?

Yes. It was horrible.

I can't even describe it.

I mean, that fits

the story, right?

You know, it did seem

like a struggle in my head

right after we heard

this f*cking sound.

Sound? What kind of sound?

What did it sound like?

It was creepy. Like, uh, like

it was alive or something.

Okay.

Look, look, I don't know

if that's what the

chief is talking about,

but it might be, okay?

I mean, what if it's all true?

We have to tell the

others and warn them.

How? We don't have radio.

Maybe we could climb higher

and then they could hear us. You

Want to keep climbing?

I'm up for it if you are.

I'll think about it.

-You good?

-Yeah. Thanks.

Okay. [sighs] Show us.

Yep.

Brad, stop. What

are you doing?

What are you doing?

[audio crackling]

Stop. No.

-What the f*ck?

-Brad, stop. Stop!

I have never seen

anyone move like that.

Jesus.

He's attacking her?

Then he falls right after that.

[sighs] This is

some crazy stuff.

Man, that's not

even the crazy part.

When you threw that

helmet at me earlier?

-Yeah.

-It hit the receiver.

It changed the channel,

and it shouldn't have been

anything coming through

on that station, but

this was coming through.

[static rumbling]

-Right?

-Okay.

So then when I was checking

the footage from the cam,

I heard this.

[static rumbling]

That sounds like the

same noise, yeah?

Yeah, that's what

I thought, too.

So I went back to the radio,

did a little fiddling,

and I heard this.

[static rumbling]

Hold on one second.

Here we go.

[overlapping voices

chanting rhythmically]

[overlapping voices

chanting continue]

[Radio sighs]

Pretty f*cked up, right?

-What the hell is that?

-I don't know.

It's just on repeat like

a loop continuously.

[Kerrie] Wait, so

that's still playing?

Yeah, only on that

channel, though,

that was not supposed

to have anything on it.

I, I don't know. [sighs]

I mean, the chief's story

is starting to make a

little bit more sense.

The, the chief's

story, the, the,

about the evil or whatever?

-I'm sorry.

The evil or whatever?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, you have

to admit this sh*t

is not easy to explain.

Okay. Whatever it

is, it can wait.

How long until the

booster's up and running?

I don't know. It should

be up pretty soon.

Great. Just get that working.

We can talk to Colton, and

I'm sure that Sean and Kristen

will be down in the morning.

I wouldn't be so sure.

The f*ck does that mean?

I get the feeling that he

didn't tell me everything

that the chief told him.

He, he seems to be on a mission.

Okay.

I would like to know a little

bit more about the evil

that is on top of the mountain.

Seriously?

[wind whistling]

[tent whipping]

Emily?

Are you going to the bathroom?

Everything okay?

Do you need some help?

I've been in some

embarrassing spots before.

[tent whipping continues]

Emily? Emily, what

are you doing?

[intense music]

[Emily growls]

[Lucky yelps]

[Emily roars]

[Child] Where are you, Daddy?

Are you coming back, Daddy?

Where are you?

[line rattling]

Where are you, Daddy?

Are you coming back, Daddy?

[overlapping voices echoing]

Jesus Emily. Emily

stop, stop, stop!

Emily, stop, stop!

[Emily roars]

-Stop.

-Don't leave me, Daddy.

Please don't leave

me. [Lucky whimpering]

Please, Daddy.

I'm scared, Daddy.

[Emily roars] [line whips]

Colton, Colton, shine

the light on her.

[Emily roars] [intense music]

[intense sound rumbling]

[Sean] I am Sean Dunham.

I love my family.

I live in Las Vegas.

-Where is it?

-I am Sean Dunham.

-Is it here?

-I love my.

Hey. [Sean panting]

Emily, no!

[Emily screams]

[Lucky panting]

Lucky, are you okay?

No, I'm not okay.

I'm alive, but I'm

definitely not okay.

Hold on. I'm gonna get

you back up to the ledge.

[intense music]

Oh my God. So

that was it, huh?

[Kristen] Yeah.

[Sean gasps]

Do you wanna keep climbing?

Definitely. You?

[Sean sighs]

I mean, the others are

probably closer to the top

and on a completely

different line.

We'll have to get an early

start and go as fast as we can.

I felt it in my head,

which means it could

be in anyone's head.

It could be in your head.

Are you,

you know, you?

That's what I'm afraid of.

[static rumbling and crackling]

Holy sh*t.

[static crackling]

[eerie music]

[Radio gasps]

Oh.

What the f*ck?

Wait, what just happened?

Is, um, is she gone?

Yeah.

She just fell after

trying to k*ll me.

What? She tried to k*ll you?

Yeah, she tried

to drop the ledge

and then the rope

I was on, so yeah,

she tried to k*ll me.

-Hold on. We don't know that.

What the f*ck were

you looking at, dude?

Your lamp was on her.

She defied gravity and

ran across the rock.

-That sounds crazy.

-Because it is crazy.

The only thing

crazy here is you.

People are dropping like flies,

we have no comms,

and apparently gravity

doesn't exist up here.

I'm going down as soon as I can,

and you guys should too.

-No.

We are not stopping now.

We are finishing the climb.

I'm not climbing another

inch up this f*cking rock.

People are dying, Colton.

It's not worth it.

[scoffs] What about you?

You too scared to keep climbing?

f*ck you, Colton. I may be

scared, but I'm not stupid.

Well, unless you want a

free solo up this thing,

looks like we're all

climbing down together.

[scoffs] Yeah.

I'm moving over there.

[phone ringing]

Hey, sorry it's so late.

Um, did you get the

files that I sent you?

Yeah, yeah, I checked

it out a little bit ago.

Great. And?

You know, I'm not really

sure what to make of it.

At first, I thought

it was some feedback

or something military, but

it is way more complex.

I ran it through a few filters,

and I kind of narrowed it

down to a few frequencies.

But then I remember Mark.

You remember Mark

from the club meeting?

Um, yeah. He was the guy

with the cool ham rig, right?

He has an algorithm

that's really good

at isolating frequencies,

so I ran it through that.

Okay. And um?

Dude, it's crazy.

I've never seen something

like that before.

Something like what?

Something it's like, it's like,

it's almost like there was

something attached to it.

What do you mean attached?

Like, like something extra?

Yeah, there was just a

tiny bit of extra signal

that shouldn't have been there.

Uh-huh. Okay.

Um, and what about

the, uh, the images?

Oh well that's the easy part.

I, I'm sending you some software

to help you interpret them.

Okay, fantastic.

Thank you, Bill. I

really appreciate that.

And I'll, I'll let you

know how it all goes.

Yeah, please do.

And you bring the donuts

for the meeting next time.

[laughs] Okay, sounds good.

I'll talk to you soon, okay?

[gentle music]

[wind whistling]

You ready to do this?

As ready as I'll ever be.

You want the first pitch?

Of course.

-There you are.

-Oh, hi.

Oh, good morning.

Yeah.

-There you go.

-Thank you.

[sighs] All right,

what's the situation?

Well, I've been up all night

and I got something to show you.

[intense music]

What the hell is that?

So in the late 1600s,

this English scientist

rubbed a violin bow

across a plate covered in flour,

and he noticed that

the flower vibrated

into specific geometric

patterns based on the frequency.

This was called cymatics

by this Swiss guy.

Cymatics?

Do we have any idea where

these shapes are coming from?

Yeah, it's coming through the

radio and the white noise.

It's this specific

layered signal.

It's doing both audio

and the cymatic images.

Any idea what it means?

Yeah, well, so each image

has its own frequency.

When I run it through the

software, we get this.

[Audio] I am here. Come to me.

I am here.

-What the f*ck is that?

[Audio] Come to me.

I think that the

chief's story is true,

and that whatever is up

there, it, it's talking to us.

Okay. First things first.

We need to get the comms working

so we can warn them

to come down, okay?

What, what is the

situation with the radio?

Stayed up late trying to

get the booster to work,

and I was just

about to try it out.

All right, let's

hope this works.

You don't wanna do this.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime

opportunity.

Give it a rest dude. It's over.

[intense music]

[Sean breathing heavily]

[Radio] Base camp to

Sean. Do you copy?

Does anyone copy?

Yeah, base camp this

is Sean. I copy you.

[Radio] Oh, good to hear

you. What's your status?

Kristen and I are climbing up

to make contact with the others

[Radio] Negative. Kerrie

wants to come down now.

Do you copy?

We're trying to get within

range of the other teams first.

Something might have

happened last night.

Something happened? What

is he talking about?

I don't know. Do we tell

him about the message?

Kerrie here, only climb as high

as you need to

make contact, okay?

Do you copy? [radio chirps]

[Sean] Copy. We'll let you

know when we make contact.

We need to find

out what happened.

[Sean] Colton, do you

copy? This is Sean.

Yeah, I got you,

Sean. Go ahead.

[Sean] What's your status?

[sighs] We're on our way down.

Lucky and Jessie both bailed,

and I have no other choice.

Did you get to Kristen?

[Sean] Yeah, I got her.

We're a little below you

and over a few lines.

[Lucky] Sean, you should

come down with us.

Emily went crazy and fell.

Seriously, get outta here.

[Sean] sh*t. We thought

we heard something.

You ready to finish

this Sean? You and me?

[Kristen] Hey, I'm still

here too, you know.

[Lucky] You guys are crazy.

Go down on a rope

while you still can.

[Sean] Okay, Colton, let's

do this. Coming to you.

You sure you're good with this?

[Kristen] Absolutely.

Okay. Man, this is

gonna piss Kerrie off.

Sean to base base

camp. Do you copy?

[Radio] Yeah, we copy, Sean.

We heard you transmitting.

Did you make

contact with Colton?

Yeah, we made contact,

and Jessie and Lucky

are on their way down.

What about Colton?

Yeah, uh, well we

gave him the message,

and he, um, he

decided to keep going.

[Kerrie] It's not a f*cking

message. It's an order.

Everyone down, now.

Sean, there are things

you need to know,

like about the chief's story.

Sorry Kerrie.

We're just trying to do

the right thing here.

We'll contact later. Over.

Okay. All right.

Two more pitches up to Colton.

You're up.

Dammit! [objects clattering]

[foot thumping] Dammit.

Agh!

I knew he was gonna

pull some like this,

and now he's, he's

dragged Sean into it.

I, I knew I should have taken

that offer at Alpenglow.

It's just the two of

them headed up, right?

Yeah. Lucky and Jessie

should be done soon.

Okay, great.

I have to talk to Colton, and

I don't care what it takes.

I will get you every power

source in this f*cking place.

Just get it boosted.

[wind whistling]

[intense music]

[Kristen breathing heavily]

[intense music continues]

[Sean breathing heavily]

[intense music continues]

Piece of cake.

Well good, 'cause the

next one's all yours.

Looks like a straight

shot up to him.

Did you see Jessie or Lucky?

No, um, they're probably

way below us now.

Okay.

All right. I need

about five minutes.

Yeah, take your time.

[Sean breathing heavily]

There we go.

Jessie, do you

copy? [radio chirps]

Lucky do you copy?

Does anybody copy?

[radio chirps]

Can anybody hear me?

Do you copy? Over.

[radio chirps]

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

[Sean breathes deeply]

Okay, Kristen, I made

it. I'm off belay.

-Copy. Belay off.

-Just, uh, gimme a minute.

[Kristen] Okay. No problem.

Sorry Kristen.

[Kristen] Hey Sean. What

happened? Are you all right?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm all right.

Sorry, Kristen,

[Kristen] What are you doing?

Why did you drop the rope?

I can't let you

risk it, all right?

This one's on me. I'm sorry.

[Kristen] Sean, don't do...

Ready when you are.

All right, take this

pitch. You top out.

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

[Colton] I'm here and anchored.

Off belay. Over.

-Copy that. Belay off.

[Colton] Yeah, it's not

that bad of a pitch.

Give me a minute.

Oh, I don't want to

tell the chief's men

they have to get another body.

[sighs] You know, when I

separated out all those voices,

I could hear all the climbers.

Yeah?

Except one.

Colton.

Colton? Are you serious?

What does that mean?

I don't know, but just

based on the chief's story,

it could be that he's,

[sighs] like,

possessed or something.

I don't...

I mean, I know it sounds

ridiculous, right?

I can't explain

this any other way.

Is there, is there any

way to know for sure?

-Yeah. Yeah.

-Yeah?

No, yeah, I think so.

Right, because it should

attach to their voices,

so if I can just get each of

them to talk individually,

then I can probably

figure it out.

[keys tapping]

[wind whistling]

[intense music]

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

[scoffs] Well, here we are.

Yeah, we sure made it all right.

Hope you're happy.

Sorry, but I had to get

here. I didn't have a choice.

[Sean] I know. I know.

[intense music]

So it's you.

[laughs] I was

wondering who it was.

What? I don't know what

you're talking about, Colton.

I'm not anything.

-I know they sent another,

So don't even act

like they didn't.

They? Who, what are you

talking about the tribe?

The tribe? [laughs] Come on.

Don't act like you're not

working for the agency.

Wait a minute, you're telling me

that you don't know

what's going on up here?

No, I don't. But I'm gonna

find out, just like you.

If it's not you, then who is it?

[intense music continues]

[Kristen grunting]

Kristen, Kristen, what

are you doing here?

You need to try harder

to leave me behind.

No, you should not

have come up here.

Kristen, welcome to the party.

[intense music continues]

[intense music continues]

-Is that it?

-I think so.

Maybe it's you.

Well, they wouldn't make

the same mistake twice.

Kristen, what is

he talking about?

[panting] I'm sorry.

I wanted to tell

you, but I couldn't.

There are rules.

Yeah. Sean, she wanted to

tell you, but there are rules.

Are you in on this?

[intense music continues]

[Radio] Base camp to

Sean. Do you copy?

Does anyone copy?

Go for Colton.

[Radio] Colton, oh God.

Good, good to hear you.

Um, Kerrie wants everyone

down. Do you copy?

Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

We're already at the top.

[Kerrie] Colton, get

your a*s down here now!

You guys should

listen to her, huh?

A little late for

that, don't you think?

[Radio] Guys, the

chief was right.

There is something up there,

something we can't explain.

I can tell who has it.

Each of you just

repeat "I am here"

into the radio,

separately, Please

Go ahead, Colton.

-Ladies first.

-Oh, for f*ck's sake.

I'll do it. I am here.

I am here.

I am here.

Happy? We'll find out who's who.

[Radio] Guys, I know who it is.

[intense sound squealing]

Well, as stimulating

as... [Lucky growls]

[head bangs] [Kristen gasps]

Lucky, what are

you doing? Lucky?

[Kristen] Sean, it's him!

Lucky, where, where

did you come from?

What happened to Jessie?

[intense music continues]

Lucky, what are you doing? No!

[Jessie screams]

[Jessie gasping]

[Lucky grunting]

[Lucky roars]

[Kristen whimpering]

[Lucky grunting]

[Kristen whimpering]

[Kristen grunting]

[intense sound rumbling]

[Lucky roars]

[Kristen wheezing]

Kristen! No, no!

[kick thumps] No!

[intense music continues]

[Kristen growling]

[Kristen growls] Oh!

[Sean groans]

[Chief Guyustees

speaking faintly]

[flames crackling]

Kristen, no! What are you doing?

Stop.

[intense sound rumbling]

Kristen, fight. Fight.

[intense sound rumbling]

[intense music continues]

[Sean groans]

[flames crackling]

[Native brave wails]

[fighters grunting]

[fighters grunting]

[Connor] You'll never make

it, son. Just give up.

You'll never be good

enough. You will fail.

You think you can beat me?

You can't, because

I'll always be here.

Just give up. Just

give up right now.

You'll never be good enough.

[Sean gasping]

[intense music continues]

[Colton grunting]

[Chief Guyustees]

Remember the quiet.

[intense sound waves whooshing]

[Colton grunting]

[Kristen growls]

[intense rumbling echoes]

[intense rumbling continues]

[Kristen breathing heavily]

Kristen.

What happened?

Did you do it?

Yeah.

I am sorry. I tried.

I know. It's okay.

Come here.

[Kristen whimpers]

Let's get out of here.

[Colton wheezing]

Oh my God. Oh my God, did I?

Colton?

[Colton wheezing]

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

[wheezing] It's not over.

What's not? What's

not over, Colton?

They'll never stop.

[Colton wheezes]

-No, Colton. No.

-Come on. We gotta go.

[footsteps crunching]

All right. Come on, let's go.

We, we can't. We don't

have any gear or ropes.

How are we gonna get down?

He left my bag.

And like someone

said to me recently,

the only way to fall

is with a chute.

But there's two of us.

We can tie into each other.

No. Hey, I'm serious.

We'll tie into each other.

It'll work.

-No.

That's not gonna work.

Well there's only

one way to find out,

or else that skeleton's

gonna have company.

Ready?

Jump.

[Kristen screams]

[parachute whooshes]

[Sean panting]

See? I told you.

[keys tapping] [phone ringing]

Yes?

Yes, I know.

We're going over the video now

and a trained team is

being put together.

Yes. [sighs]

No matter how

cold the winter

There's a springtime ahead

I'm thumbing my

way back to it

Wish that I could hold you

Wish that I had

Hello? [door clicks]

Mom? Dad?

Hey! [Sean laughs]

So glad to see you. [laughs]

Let me look at you here. Oh.

It's fine, it's

fine. I'm okay.

-You okay?

-Yeah. Yeah.

I'm good. I'm good.

-All right. All right.

[groans] Oh my God.

Told you. [laughs]

Told I'd make it back.

Yeah, you did. Yeah, you did.

Hey, I'm sorry

about your friends.

I'm just, I'm just

glad you're home.

Yeah, it was a tough

climb, and, um, some,

some things happened.

Dad, I found out about

Grandpa. He made it.

He did good. He

saved a lot of lives.

-He made it?

-Yeah.

I always hoped, you know,

that he did it for a reason,

that it meant something.

Definitely meant something.

[groans] You've just

missed your mother.

She went to the store.

She'll be back in a minute.

Hey, come on. Come on.

-Yeah. Yeah.

Sit down. I want to hear

all about the climb.

[Connor and Sean groan]

Maybe wait until she's back.

It's a long story, and

it's kind of crazy.

[Connor] Okay.

[intense music]

[intense music continues]

[Colton] I love myself.

I am Colton Stevens.

I love my life.

I love myself.

I am Colton Stevens.

I love my life.

I love myself. I

am Colton Stevens.

[intense music]

[heavy rock music]

Scary's

On the wall

Scary's

On his way

Watch where you spit

I'd advise you wait

until it's over

But then you got hit

And you should've

known better

And we die young

Faster we run

Down, down, down

you're rollin'

Watch the blood float

in the muddy sewer

And take another hit

And bury your brother

[heavy rock music continues]

And we die young

[heavy rock music continues]

Faster we run

[heavy rock music continues]

[heavy rock music continues]

Scary's

On the wall

Scary's

On his way

Another alley trip

b*llet seeks the

place to bend you over

Then you got hit

And you should've

known better

Faster we run

And we die young

[bright music]

[bright music continues]

What do you say

Is this the time

For one more try

At a happy life

So, what do you say?

Is this unwise

To think my fears

Will not reprise

Woo hoo hoo

Ooh hoo hoo

Ooh hoo hoo

Woo hoo hoo

Can't be late

It's a rising tide

Like an hour glass

Running out of time

So what do you say

What will you decide

It's a win or lose

On a rolling die

Woo hoo hoo

Ooh hoo hoo

Ooh hoo hoo

[Production Member] Apple

[production members

speak faintly]

[Director] And action.

[Radio shouts]

-Jesus Christ, Gabe.

-Oh my. Gabe?

-Not Gabe.

[group laughing]

No, no, no. Okay, my bad.

-Are we rolling?

-We're rolling.

We're still rolling.

-My bad.

[Director] Rolling!

[group laughing]

It's too real. Too real.

-All right.

-Too real.
