00:00Clue!
00:30Oh, shit.
01:00Oh, shit.
01:30Oh, shit.
01:37But you continued up with no safety rope.
01:55Correct, yeah.
01:57Do you know much about this, Mike?
02:04I've heard of it.
02:06It's pretty self-explanatory.
02:10Your brother died.
02:12Deep down in a place you can't talk about, you wish it had been you and not him.
02:16And this causes...behavior.
02:20Like climbing the needles with no rope.
02:23That would be an example.
02:25Yeah.
02:26You need to get closure on this.
02:29I'm gonna write you two prescriptions.
02:31One for anxiety and something to help you sleep if you need it.
02:34Yes to the literature, no to the drugs.
02:37I'll read up on it.
02:38I'll read up on it.
02:39Thank you, doctor.
02:43Okay, Calvin.
02:44We're all done, Mr. McCann.
02:45Thanks, guys.
02:46It's gross.
02:47It's gone.
02:48It's gone.
03:02Kayleigh.
03:03Oh, my God.
03:33I, John McCann of Minot, North Dakota, declare this to be my last will.
03:51In the event of death, I hereby direct that my body be cremated and that my ashes be scattered on Mount Everest.
03:59If I can't get there in life, I'll get there in death.
04:03If I can't get there in life, I'll get there in life.
04:33Let's go.
04:37Make no mistake.
05:04Make no mistake.
05:06Hydroelectric power is the way of progress.
05:11It is the way of the future.
05:13And with your approval, this dam will generate 4,000 megawatts of hydroelectricity for industry.
05:22And with industry comes jobs.
05:26And then all will be resettled.
05:29All right you are, sir, into slums to work in sweatshops making iPhones for Europeans.
05:35Let's hear from the family who built the first road and half the town.
05:39Let's hear from one of the Rye family.
05:43Of course, Mr. Rye, please come up.
05:49It is my father who speaks for the family.
06:04You know, this is just a little late.
06:34Let's go, McDonald's family.
06:44Let's go, McDonald's family.
06:49Let's go, McDonald's family.
06:55To build his dam, Yasser has made a very generous offer for the life estates that were granted
07:23to my family by the Land Act in 1994.
07:27And that includes my son, who is also late.
07:31I hope he's not late for his own funeral.
07:35So dam or river?
07:38It's a very modest question, no?
07:41We are a very modest people.
07:44There are those who want the dam, yes.
07:47But we, all of us, we need our rivers, no?
07:53To make tea and to bathe and to water our crops.
07:59If we give up on this now, we will lose more than our river.
08:06We will sever our links with our ancestors.
08:10We will cease to be one with this land.
08:13And we will never, ever taste our sacred water again.
08:17And we will be one with the flowers, and we will get new, and we will get to the wild
08:26water again.

32:50Captain Shankar. Provincial police.
33:01What happened to you?
33:04Attempted kidnapping.
33:12Her gun.
33:13Ambulance police.
33:20Ambulance police.
33:22Oh, shit.
33:30Ah, shit.
33:45Nasty.
33:45Well, she ain't making it up to Everest. Not today, at least.
33:51But I reckon a spot weld might get her down to the Aranika Highway.
33:56I'm a fair hand with a welding torch, if you've got one.
34:00Oh, yeah? Bloody oath I do. You're a bloody beauty, mate.
34:05Yeah, I'll bring her around.
34:08Be still.
34:10You're quite well.
34:15You're not bad yourself for a Buddhist.
34:19Shows how much you know about Buddhists.
34:23You'll have to show me that roundhouse kick.
34:28You're too old.
34:30You're too old.
34:31I have young Prana.
34:33Prana?
34:35Prana is Hindu.
34:37Life force.
34:38Life force, right?
34:50Young man.
34:51Officer.
34:52I need some information.
34:55He doesn't speak English.
35:00I need to know the status of the young man you and Mr. McCann saved from the kidnappers.
35:06He's awake.
35:07No need to worry.
35:08I'd like to know his name.
35:09Hey!
35:10What's your name?
35:11Vijay Rai.
35:12He's awake.
35:13No need to worry.
35:14I'd like to know his name.
35:16Hey!
35:17What's your name?
35:19Vijay Rai.
35:21Did he just say Vijay Rai?
35:26We wouldn't be in Qadari, would we?
35:32Yes.
35:33This is Qadari.
35:37We have not had the pleasure.
35:40I am Danny Yang Chen.
35:41I'm sorry.
35:42Evan Myers.
35:43I saw you speak in Pokero last year, Professor.
35:46It is my honor.
35:47Oh, thank you.
35:48Dad!
35:49Dad, you gotta see these rugs.
35:52I believe you met my daughter.
35:54Star, this is Danny Yang Chen.
35:56Hi.
35:57Hi.
35:58Hi.
35:59We have good taste.
36:02Qadari rugs are loved all over the world.
36:05Where are all the people?
36:08Gone.
36:09There has been trouble here.
36:13Hmm.
36:14What kind of trouble?
36:15Dad?
36:16It's a land dispute.
36:17A man named Rudroyash wants to build the largest dam in the Himalayas.
36:20One of the families won't sell.
36:21Land is all these people have.
36:22Indeed.
36:23Excuse me, Danny.
36:24You okay here?
36:25Yeah.
36:26Yeah.
36:27Um, what you did on that bus.
36:28That was...
36:29It was unbelievable.
36:30You helped.
36:31Call me Danny.
36:32Can you teach me to fight like that?
36:35No.
36:36No.
36:37No.
36:38No.
36:39No.
36:40No.
36:41No.

36:48No.
36:49No.
36:50No.
36:51No.
36:52No.
36:53No.
36:54No.
36:55No.
36:56If you promise to remember...
36:58It's not about the teacher.
36:59It's not about the teacher.
37:00It's always the student.
37:04Thanks.
37:26I don't know.
37:56I don't know.
37:58I don't know.
38:03Excellent.
38:08The bus has arrived.
38:12Captain.
38:15Captain Shankar.
38:17Excuse me, Captain.
38:18I have some questions.
38:20Ladies, I apologize on behalf of my country for your ordeal.
38:25If you would follow me.
38:27Captain, the young man in your care, Vijay Rai.
38:30What about him?
38:32This way.
38:33May I see him?
38:34You'll miss your bus.
38:36I can arrange a car service.
38:38And the reason, if I may ask?
38:40We all went through an ordeal this morning.
38:43I'd like to know for whom.
38:45Hmm.
38:46I understand.
38:47Unfortunately, Mr. Rai is still unconscious.
38:50Your lieutenant said otherwise.
38:52My lieutenant was mistaken.
38:54Tell me, how often do provincial police patrol here?
38:57I don't understand the question.
39:04Couldn't be more than once a day.
39:07I mean, what luck.
39:09Did you arrive when you did?
39:12Right.
39:14I can get his email.
39:17Send him a get well note.
39:19With a smiley face emoji.
39:24Come on, Dad.
39:29Just a second, honey.
39:30I invest 10 million dollars fees in engineering studies.
39:52Waiting for a family of idiots to do the right thing.
40:00See you soon.
40:10That means...
40:12A few hours travel,
40:13A day at most.
40:18He's here now.
40:20Somewhere in the mountains.
40:24Where?
40:27Where is your father, Vijay?
40:28He won't sell to you.
40:30Then you will.
40:32Never.
40:34Then the government will when you're all dead.
40:38How can you not see this man?
40:52Don't take all day.
40:58Gosh.
41:06Got him. Yep, that's it.
41:09Finished?
41:11Almost.
41:16Everything okay?
41:18I'm not sure.
41:23Something's not right here.
41:25What's the problem?
41:26We haven't formally met.
41:28What?
41:29Evan Myers.
41:30Let me give you a hand.
41:31Thanks.
41:32I represent a number of human rights watchdog groups.
41:35A man named Rudur Yash wants to dam the river up there.
41:38A local family, the Rai's, won't sell him the land.
41:41The grandfather, Raj Rai, just died in a horrific bus accident.
41:45It was in the...
41:46It was in the...
41:47It was in the Kathmandu post.
41:49I read the article.
41:51His bus went off East Traverse.
41:54To which I say bullshit.
41:58I spoke.
42:00Well, there never been one bus go off the East Traverse in the dry seas.
42:04Not a one.
42:05Right.
42:06Now get this.
42:07Raj Rai's son, Ganesh, is apparently missing.
42:10And his grandson, Vijay, is the young man you just saved from kidnappers.
42:17Hello?
42:18Are you coming?
42:19Tell them to go ahead, Danny.
42:21Please.
42:22Keep talking, Professor.
42:23You've got my attention.
42:24The kidnappers were rendezvousing here.
42:27Who with?
42:29Who just turned up out of the blue?
42:34You don't sign...
42:35Police, yes.
42:39Danny, you catching this?
42:41It is possible.
42:43Rudur Yash is Kathmandu Mafia.
42:45Thugs and parasites.
42:47They buy judges and police.
42:50What do you suggest we do, Professor?
42:52Demand to see Vijay Rai.
42:56You are poking a dragon.
42:58I poked one or two before, trust me.
43:00I want answers.
43:02You may need a translator.
43:03Danny, can you?
43:07Yes.
43:09Stay here, okay?
43:10Hey son, I'll look after her for you.
43:12Don't worry, she'll be right.
43:13Thanks.
43:18Dad?
43:22Be careful.
43:33Um...
43:34Tell him we want to see Vijay Rai.
43:36No.
43:37Come on.
43:42No.
43:49Come on.
43:50No.
43:51No.
43:52No.
43:54You're not going to let him.
43:59We're not going to be here on line.
44:05Where is your father?
44:07Where...
44:09is your father?
44:10No, I'll call the American Embassy.
44:13They took off our phones.
44:15We'll find one in the village.
44:16I'm not looking for phones while that kid's been tortured.
44:20Wait here, Professor.
44:21Danny, come with me.
44:27We have your phone, Vijay.
44:30Your text message to your father said you were meeting.
44:32Now tell me where.
44:35Where are you meeting him?
44:36Where is your father, Vijay?
44:54Throw it down.
45:02You don't know who you're dealing with.
45:04Sure I do.
45:05Your police captain Shankar.
45:08There was me thinking the policemen were supposed to help the victim.
45:15Everyone, calm down, please.
45:22Welcome to Kodari Rug Factory.
45:26At least tell me your names.
45:29If we're going to settle this with firearms,
45:31we should at least know the names of the people pulling the trigger.
45:35My name is Evan Myers.
45:43I represent the United States Department of State.
45:48What a group we suddenly are.
45:51In 24 hours, every human rights organization in the world will know about this.
45:56You have a lot of explaining to do.
45:57Do I?
45:57Do I?
46:04I called the United States Embassy 20 minutes ago.
46:07There will be two Black Hawk helicopters.
46:08No, you didn't.
46:10You didn't call anyone.

46:49Get in!

47:04Where's my father?
47:25Where's my father?
47:27He didn't make it.
47:28What do you mean he didn't make it?
47:34He's dead.
47:49Do not shoot the boy.
47:58Oh, shit!
48:03Shit!

52:12DJ.
52:14Right turn, back to the village.
52:15Left turn, Chinese border.
52:16Safe there.
52:18Construction workers for the belt and road.
52:20Soldiers, the hot food.
52:22Which way is your father?
52:26Left.
52:27Across the Annapurna highlands.
52:28But this is the long way. It's much faster, my mule.
52:31Great. Let's H up the team I got back there.
52:38I forgive your American sarcasm there.
52:40It's Irish sarcasm. What are we dealing with here?
52:43Very steep. Very icy.
52:45Right up my alley.
52:47It's called the Road to the Sky.
52:49It's said Siddhartha came his way on his quest to find enlightenment.
52:53Well, I ain't no Siddhartha.
52:55I'm as enlightened as I'm going to get. Let me off the bus. I'm not dying here.
52:59Get me out of here. Get me off the bus.
53:06Yeah.
53:08Yeah.
53:09Yeah, right here.
53:13That's it.
53:20No worries.
53:25See you down the river.
53:28Yes, this is a bike.
53:37Down the river.
