Hannah?
How are you?
[Hannah] OK.
And you? - Silent sorrow.
[Hannah] I saw the posters. - I'd like to see you.
I've got something for you.
[Hannah] Send it by post.
[laughs]
Well...
...I don't trust the mail here.
[Hannah] So when do you want to see me?
I can see you now.
[♪♪♪]
Silent Sorrow.
[Hannah] You didn't sign it.
No, not this time.
Silent Sorrow.
I wonder what's going to happen to Emily this time.
It's the last book about Emily.
What will you write about next?
About myself.
I want to say goodbye to you.
In the mountains.
A last climb.
You and me.
[Hannah] Why?
We never argued in the mountains.
We did. On the way down.
[laughs]
True. But not this time.
A helicopter is taking us down.
Really.
[Hannah] Are there people who do that?
People with money.
Things that money can buy.
Freedom and folly.
[Hannah] Why?
You left me.
I've never had the chance to leave you.
Give me that chance.
And then what?
Then I'll let you go.
I'll never think of you again.
I'll forget everything.
Your eyes. Your voice.
Your face.
I'll move on as if you never existed.
Thanks for the book.
Bye, Appie.

[Hannah] Do you live here?
[Man] When I'm here, yeah.
[Man] I'm at my mothers.
[Hannah] Ah. I really, really love the surroundings.
It's got a beautiful garden.
[Man] My mom.
[Hannah] Did you grow up here?
[Man] Yes.
[Hannah] So, you know the whole.
[Man laughs]
Yeah, somewhat.
Looking forward to the trip?
Oh yes, yes. I am so super excited about it all.
[Hannah] Super excited about it all.
[Man] Well, that's good.
[Lex] Hello.
[door opens]
Voytek?
Yes.
Nice, nice to meet you.
I know, of course. Nice to meet you too.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
No problem.
Please come inside.
Thank you.
[Voytek] This is the kitchen.
There's a bathroom.
And your rooms are upstairs.
You live here?
When I'm here.
Come, let's go to the living room.
[clock chimes]
Wow.
[movement upstairs]
My mom. She wants to do everything alone.
I'll be in a second with you.
Mamo! Mamo!
He thinks we're married.
Your call. Want to tell him?
Why is it my call? You can tell him too.
It's easier like this.
Whatever.
Unless you're interested...
...in a tough, Polish bear, I can tell him.
What do you mean?
We're a team. I can help you.
To seduce a man?
I can do that by myself, you know.
Right.
Your room is ready so
you can leave your backpacks
and we can do a quick test climb.
There are nice rocks nearby.
Why do we need to test climb?
Because I need to see your level of ability.
I don't feel like it.
Well, Voytek. I am sure that we can do that later, right?
Later?
Okay.
Coming?
Later?
[chuckles]
[moving upstairs]

[grunts]
[♪♪♪]
[Hannah] So, what do you do for fun?
I climb for fun.
This is also my job, but I do it for fun I...
I like to bike. I like to carve wood.
I read.
[Lex] You read?
Yes, some.
[Lex] What's your favourite writer?
I would love to say you, but...
[Lex] Hmmhmm.
I think Bulgakov.
[Hannah] Bulgakov? I love Bulgakov.
Really?
[Hannah] Hmmhmm. You too right?
He's okay.
[chuckles] Ah, he's okay.
Do you like the soup?
[Hannah] It's lovely, thank you very much.
Thank you mama.
[speaking in foreign language]
[Hannah] Thank you, thanks.
Bulgakov?
[chuckles]
Now you're gonna have a special drink.
See if you gonna like it?
Okay.
And it goes like this.
Everything we do
we look
in each other eyes.
To the mountains.
[Voytek] To the mountains.
And then we go like this.
[laughing]
Okay.
[Voytek] Now you can kiss her.
And first drink?
[Voytek] Yes.
[grunts]
[laughter]
Strong shit.
Okay.
[speaking in foreign language]
So Lex,
Voytek has been in the Himalaya.
Ah.
So?
Yeah, so?
Exactly.
Tatra could be far more dangerous.
[Hannah] Oh.
What about our mountain?
Hmm, it is a beauty.
Did you climb her?
A few times.
I had to check the place for the helicopter.
Because you still want to be taken from the top
by the helicopter, right?
You're from a different school.
Yes, I climb and I walk down.
[Hannah] And how many schools are there anyways?
Just two.
[Hannah] But do you think it matters for a mountain
from which school you are?
I mean, how you climb her because
both of you just want to get on top of her, right?
[laughter]
Yeah, yeah.
Sorry for the innuendo.
[Voytek] That is true.
[Lex] Yeah, no thanks.
Let's drink to that.
[Hannah] Thank you.
Cheer to the innuendo.
[Lex] To the innuendo.
[Hannah] To the innuendo.
[chuckles]
No kissing?
No, huh...
because the kissing comes with the beginning
and goes with the end.
[Hannah] Okay.
And Emily, the character of the novels, who is she?
Emily?
Who is Emily?
Why don't you explain who Emily is?
Hmm?
[Hannah] Um, okay.
Well, Voytek,
Emily is this girl who
is constantly amazed.
[Voytek] About what?
Did you read it?
Yeah, I started reading your book,
ummm... Nightwatch
Yeah, the second one.
Did you like it?
I just started.
But my mom loves it.
[laughs]
But you should start with the first book and then second book.
Yeah I know, but the second one was easier to buy on ebay
you know, the first one was probably sold out.
Completely sold out, exactly, yes.
[Voytek] You know the story when the alter, the writer
comes into the book store
and there's a guy who says to him,
"Oh, I bought your book."
And the writer says, "Oh, it was you."
[laughter]
[Hannah] Yeah, that's a nice one, huh?
I can't wait for his campfire tales, to be honest.
Maybe he brought his guitar.
[singing in foreign language]
Wow.
[clapping]
Beautiful.
What is the song about?
[speaks in foreign language]
So, here.
I brought the whole sum,
in Euros as you asked.
Thank you very much.
Count it.
It's okay.
Oh please, I would like you to count it.
It's all there?
[Voytek] Perfect.
So you take us to the cave?
That gets us to the valley where you start climbing.
And please, do not leave the truck.
Okay, we understand.
Tatra is dangerous.
That place you go really is.
You're all alone there.
And if you get lost or something happens
you're on your own.
That's how we want it.
And if you start at 6:00 in the morning
you have 10 hours to reach the top at 4:00 PM.
We'll manage.
But if you're late,
the pilot won't wait for you
and won't look after you.
Officially you are not there, it is a protected zone.
What's being protected there?
Nature, protected from people.
[scoffs]
We respect nature.
It's upto nature to decide.
Okay.
We've never been there.
Good.
Ok boys, I'm good to bed.
Voytek, thank you so much for the lovely dinner.
Thank you.
And could you please thank your mom?
Sure.
Thank you Hannah.
See you tomorrow, breakfast at 7:00.
Goodnight, honey.
[Voytek] One last one?
Okay.
Thank you very much.
[Lex] Thank you.
See you tomorrow.
Thanks for dinner.
[Voytek] Have a good night.

Are you OK?

You're cheating, Hannah.
You always cheat.
Suppose there's something after this life.
Would you want to come back as a tree?
Or as a penguin?
Or a beaver? How would you like to return?
You first.
I wouldn't like to return.
Oh.
I thought...
...that you'd want to reincarnate as a writer...
...and write something completely different.
I am going to do that. - In this life?
In this life, after this climb.
In my next life, I'd be a meadow.
I'm going to write one more novel about Emily.
Of course.
You're going to write a lot more novels about Emily.
No, only one more novel about Emily to wrap up the story.
And then what?
What's going to happen? - Guess.
She'll have children? - Fuck, no.
She'll get married? - No.
She'll buy a new car?
She'll become a lesbian? - Close.
She's going to die at the end.
[birds chirping]
[♪♪♪]
[water rippling]
[Hannah] Huh?
What is this?
No, are you kidding me?
It's a coat hanger.
How amazing, look what I found, a coat hanger.
[indistinct chatter]
[♪♪♪]
[indistinct chatter]
The clothes hanger belonged to a man
who walked here three years ago.
He was lugging a very heavy suitcase.
What was in that heavy suitcase?
That man wondered about that as well.
He opened it and noticed...
...that it was empty.
He wondered why the suitcase was so heavy when it was empty.
What was that man doing here? - That's a different story.
[twig snaps]
[grunting and panting]
[panting]
Voytek!
[grunting]
Do you want to go for a swim?
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Shall I take your backpack? - No...
You sure?
Yes, I'm sure. I'm okay.
Then we can go.
You go first. - No, go ahead.

[birds chirping]
Do you want to roll one?

She's okay.
What do you mean?
[Hannah] Voytek.
[animal squealing]
What's wrong?
Huh? - A wounded fox.
Come on.
[Hannah] I don't feel like clmbing.
Look, Voytek--
No, you look,
I won't leave you alone in the mountains
until I see you climb.
Come on, let's climb.
No, I don't feel well. - Let's just do that test climb.
I don't want to climb. - Don't be such a baby.
Let's climb and we'll be rid of him.
Ok, go.
[Voytek] She goes first.
No, I first. She always go second.
But now, she is the first.
[panting]
I thought it was about her.
It is.
That's why I am watching you.
Interesting.
[grunting]
Hey!
[wind blowing]
[Lex] Hey!
Hannah!
[♪♪♪]
[birds chirping]
[Voytek] This is the passage.
It will take you to the valley.
You should set off early, tomorrow.
So,
This is it?
[Voytek] Yes, I leave you here.
[Lex] Thanks Voytek.
Nice meeting you.
[unzipping]
[Voytek] How about farewell toast?
[chuckles]
To the mountains.
You have to kiss him.
[Lex] It's okay Voytek.
To the mountains.
[gulping]
[Voytek] Goodbye.
[twigs breaking]
[fire rackling]
He isn't leaving, is he?
Of course he is.
Why would he stay?
Why wouldn't he? His work is done.
He doesn't want to go home in the dark.
He'll be gone in the morning.
So why doesn't he join us?
Because he's done working.
Because he wants to be alone, just like us.
[fire crackling]
Maybe I should ask him?
OK.
Interesting.
Yeah, let's see what happens.
Are you going to ask him?
Hello Hannah.
Do you want some tea?
[Hannah] What are you doing?
Reading your husband's novel.
[Hannah] He's not my husband.
Nightblind.
[chuckling]
Do you like it?
I was reading it at campfire.
Now, I think I am going to use it for campfire.
I was joking.
Yeah, me too.
[Voytek] Why did you lie?
And say he was your husband.
It was a practical lie.
[Voytek] Are you practical now?
No.
I'm scared.
He wants you to leave
and leave us alone.
[Voytek] Do you want me to leave?
Not a question.
Do you want to be alone with him in the mountains?
I need to know.
I will follow you.
If you need help.
Whistle.
