The Father Who Moves Mountains (Tata mută munții)

NETFLIX PRESENTS

The rescuers will restart the search in the morning.

It has been 24 hours since the two hikers' call for help.

They were caught by the storm between Buşteni and the Caraiman Lodge.

The extremely dangerous route...

Break them all so there's plenty to step on.

We have very few clues about where the accident took place.

We have several possibilities,

not just Jepii Mici, but Jepii Mari as well.

In their current state...

Sorry for leaving you alone.

The area where the two got lost is very hazardous.

Okay?

You always leave me alone.

- Mom is being picky. - Picky?

You'll see how much time Daddy spends with you.

You don't understand yet, but I promise, baby,

I will always be by your side.

Always!

By Mom's side too.

And if you don't pick up?

Here! Which one do you like best?

Yes.

Yes what?

- Whichever one you like. - And you?

Think you can focus for a bit? Can we do this?

I think it looks good.

If you say so.

Don't you think so?

- Excuse me? - Don't you think so?

- I don't know. - I think it's pretty, but...

What does Laur want?

Laurenţiu, what's up?

Looking for me? Why?

So pass him the phone.

Reserve officer Jianu, go ahead.

Tell me over the phone.

You can't tell me?

All right, I'm coming.

Thank you.

What happened?

The police are looking for me back home.

- Why? - I don't know, they wouldn't say.

- Hello. - Sir.

What was the big secret?

Mircea Jianu? Do you have a son, Cosmin Jianu?

- Has he done something? - Do you know where he is?

No, we haven't talked lately.

He lives with my ex-wife. What's wrong?

Mr. Jianu...

your son may have gone missing in the Bucegi Mountains.

What do you mean, "missing"?

Two young people went missing there. We were told to notify the families.

- How do you know my son is one of them? - Do you know a Daniela Simion?

No.

She called 112 and said she got lost on the mountain.

We notified her family and they said her boyfriend is Cosmin Jianu.

And that they had left together.

Laurenţiu, we're leaving.

Paula, why won't you answer your phone?

It's a mobile phone so you can take it with you!

Never mind, have you heard from Cosmin?

How long ago?

But nothing since?

Paula, he's gone missing.

His phone is turned off.

Woman, listen, he's gone missing!

Cosmin, who else?

The police came to tell me.

His girlfriend called 112, said they got lost on the mountain, and...

So far, we know nothing.

I'm on my way there with Laurenţiu.

All right.

Isn't that Cosmin's car?

Yes, it is, stop there.

Boss, this way!

Interested in a mountain ride in a 4WD? Interested in...

Leave us alone!

- Where is the mountain rescue base? - On the left.

Hello, is the chief in?

- May I help? - I'm the father of the missing boy.

- Where's your boss? - Over there, talking to the press.

Any new developments?

Hello. Jianu, the father of the missing boy.

Cristian Nistor, mountain rescue chief. A team is looking for him.

We searched yesterday until dark, then the weather turned.

And?

So far, no trace.

There is hope. Maybe they took shelter somewhere.

We won't stop until we find them. Come in.

Be honest.

Have you found people alive after several days?

Every year. Come with me.

They told the 112 operator that they got lost on Jepii Mici.

The sky was clear when they left.

- A seat? - No.

The weather changed by noon and they didn't know which way to go.

They said they could see a big boulder they couldn't go around.

It sounded like Chimney's End, so we sent a team there.

They got there in an hour, but there was no sign of them.

How far is that?

Six kilometers.

We tried the girl's phone, but the battery must be dead.

We gave the police her name, and her parents gave us your son's name.

- We called his number. - Me too, the phone is dead.

Right. So yesterday I also sent a team up the Jepii Mari route,

in case the girl got the trail names mixed up.

- Thank you. - Sadly, still nothing.

- This morning, we started over. - Very good.

Both Jepii routes are closed in winter. I don't know what they were doing there.

We'll know when we find them.

What the hell were they doing there?

- Mr... I'm sorry, your name again? - Cristian.

- Mr. Cristian, how can I help? - Help?

- Support your family and be patient. - Patient?

I want us to join the search.

I have my best men out there. Experienced people who have saved lives.

I'm sure, but we want to go too.

You can't, it's not a pleasure hike.

- That's why it's closed in winter. - I know.

Perhaps I can get you vehicles, people, equipment...

I could make some calls, if need be.

- Maybe there's something you need. - We have all we need.

Did you take a photo?

Mr. Cristian.

Please, give me a guide to get there.

- I can't wait. - I'm not giving you anyone.

And I can't let you go up there.

I'm going anyway.

Mr. Jianu.

People don't come to us for fun. Only when they get in trouble.

Usually because they've been stubborn.

Please, let us do our job before we have to rescue you too.

Mr. Jianu!

- Tell them to come up. - Yes, boss.

It's just over the hill.

Mr. Jianu!

We're right on the path where the route starts.

Yes, we have someone stubborn here trying to go up with no equipment.

Mr. Jianu!

Mr. Jianu, wait!

You're not equipped to go up there.

We'll manage. We've been up mountains before.

Please, wait, Mr. Jianu.

- I have to go, don't you understand? - You're not prepared.

You need mountaineering boots, not those things.

It's steep, there's a blizzard, it will be dark in two hours.

So send someone with us.

I can't.

Then we're off.

- Mr. Jianu! - I'll manage.

What is this?

This route is closed, I'm obligated to save your life.

Against your will, if I must.

I can't just wait here!

What would you do in my place?

Let us do our job.

Go wait at the hotel. The girl's parents are there too.

Please.

Listen to me.

Excuse me.

Hello.

- The missing girl's parents? - Second table by the window.

- Are you the girl's parents? - Yes.

Mircea Jianu, Cosmin's father.

Doru Simion.

Ma'am.

Boss.

Mrs. Paula just got here.

- Where is she? - Going to the mountain rescue cabin.

Paula!

Paula!

Rescue Hut, this is Base.

Hello, Base, we copy.

Any news?

A tourist just got here.

She saw two young people climbing along the valley.

- Boss, do I go? - You just got back.

We'll go, just tell us where!

How is the weather?

Strong blizzard, over 100 km per hour.

- Mr. Cristian, a few questions? - Miss, give us some space.

Could you come down to Pillar Three, or as low as you can?

- When? Tonight? - We'll go!

Head down with Costi as far as you can. If it's not safe, wait for the morning.

We can't wait until morning. This is killing us!

- We'll go! - Stanciu, do you copy?

Costi and I will gear up and head down the valley now.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

It's in God's hands.

We have new information.

Two young people have been sighted in the valley.

They should be close to the hut.

Did you get these awards for people you rescued?

Well...

they're for the whole team, with me as chief.

They remind us why we're doing this.

This is Buşteni Three, come in.
