Ice Road: Vengeance

[Mike breathing heavily, grunting]

- -

Oh no.

Oh shit!

- -

- -

- -

- -

But you continued up?

With no safety rope.

Correct. Yeah.

Do you know much about this, Mike?

-I've... I've heard of it. -It's pretty self -explanatory.

Your brother died.

Deep down in a place you can't talk about, you wish it had been you, and not him.

And this causes...

behaviour.

Like climbing The Needles with no rope.

That would be an example, yeah.

You need to get closure on this.

I'm gonna write you two prescriptions,

one for anxiety and something to help you sleep if you need it.

Yes to the literature, no to the drugs.

I'll read up on it.

-Thank you, Doctor. -

- -

- We are all done, Mr McCann. - Thanks guys.

Let's hit the road.

- Kaylee. -

I, John McCann of Minot, North Dakota

declare this to be my last will.

In the event of death, I hereby direct that my body be cremated,

and that my ashes be scattered on Mount Everest.

If I can't get there in life, I'll get there in death.

- -

- -

Make no mistake.

Hydroelectric power...

is the way of progress.

It is the way of the future.

And with your approval...

this dam will generate 4,000 megawatts of hydroelectricity for industry.

And with industry...

comes jobs.

And then all will be resettled.

Oh, right you are, sir! Into slums!

To work in sweatshops making iPhones for Europeans.

Let's hear from the family who built the first road and half the town.

Let's hear from one of the Rai family.

Of course.

Mr Rai, please come up.

- -

Yes, yes.

It is my father who speaks for the family, you know this.

He's just a little late.

To build his dam Yash sir has made a...

very generous offer for the Life Estates that were...

granted to my family by the Land Act in 1994.

And that includes my son who, is also late.

I hope he's not late for his own funeral.

- -

So...

dam...

or river, huh?

-It's a very modest question, no? -

We are a very modest people.

There are those who want the dam. Yes.

But we...

all of us.

We need our river, no.

To... to make tea and to... to bathe...

and to water our crops.

If we give up on this now...

we will lose more than our river.

We will sever our links with our ancestors.

We will cease to be one with this land,

and we will never ever taste our sacred water again.

- -

Vijay, where have you been?

-Take this in. Listen to this! Hear this. -Grandfather is dead.

His bus went off the East Traverse.

-Police were calling it an accident. -

- Who knows about this? -People are just learning now.

We're next, father. Rudra Yash will kill you.

Then me.

We... we will not let him.

Okay. Come on.

- -

Just hold it there, thanks.

Okay, come through.

Come through.

What is this?

My dead brother.

Human remains have to travel in a TSA -approved vessel.

- -[man 4] Good evening, passengers.

Please be advised that flight...

-Shit. - ...AB304 to Kathmandu

- is now boarding for departure. -Sorry, bro.

Hey, hey.

There he is.

-Looking spiffy. -Yeah, I bet you say that to all the boys.

- -Got your papers?

Yep.

First month, a place up north called Falujah.

Isn't Northern Iraq where all the fighting's been?

I'm the mechanic, bro.

The only fight I'm gonna have is with rusty Hummer manifolds.

Hey, you're my little brother. I'm protective.

-Come on, let's go. I don't wanna be late. -

[airplane's travelling distantly]

When I get back, we're gonna climb Everest.

And then we'll go into business with our own rig.

I love you, Mike.

You be careful out there.

Yeah.

Oh.

Here, they make us do this, but, uh, I'll tear it up when I get back.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.

We'll be touching down in Kathmandu airport

in approximately 30 minutes.

If you'd like to takea look out the port side window,

you'll catch a glimpse of Everest,the tallest mount in the world.

The weather in Kathmandu is fine with clear skies.

Once again, from the flight deck and our crew,

we'd like to thank you for flying with us today.

- We hope you enjoyed it. Thank you. -

Hello, yeah.

Starr!

Starr!

Welcome to Kathmandu.

-Dad. -Let's go.

[taxi drivers clamor indistinctly]

What is the right direction to the city centre?

Too far to walk. Much too far.

How far? - Too far. Too far.

Thanks guys.
