Cliffhanger

Rescue 3. Jessie, do you see him yet?

Patience, my love, patience.

Wait a minute. I think I have him sighted.

Frank, what's the word?

The word is we got him over there.

Rescue 3, this is Rescue Center. Over.

This is three. Go ahead.

Jessie, we 're getting general clearance

in the southeastern region of the park.

You will probably have sufficient cloud base to get into the tower,

but please be advised you'll still encounter

some strong winds and turbulence.

We would advise against a winch rescue. Over.

Wilco, Center. I'll proceed with wire cross from opposite tower.

- 3 out. - Center out.

Gabe, Hal's signaling he's OK.

Gabe?

Gabe, where are you?

I'm just hanging out, Jess.

Oh, my God.

I don't recognize the face, but the butt does look vaguely familiar.

Hey, be careful, or you l! embarrass old Frank.

It would take a heap more than that, rock-jock.

Yeah.

Gabe?

They're below the top of the tower.

They're on the ledge just above you.

You got another few feet.

- Glad you could join us. - Yeah, sure. Hi, Sarah.

Hi, Gabe.

So, how's the knee?

I think it's out. No big deal.

Oh, yeah, I remember when you twisted it getting out of that hot tub.

I thought it was an old war wound from 'Nam.

Really? Hmm.

Rescue three. I've located a stranded climber.

Jessie, please send down a transport line.

So, tell me, how you feeling?

Fine, considering.

What do you say we take off...

and leave this clown behind, huh?

Don't tempt me.

Rescue three.

Please be advised that Ranger Walker is making advances toward my girlfriend...

that's liable to get his ass kicked right off this mountain. Over.

Be informed Gabe makes advances to me only

or he'll be climbing down 4,000 teet and sleeping outside.

Baby, he lies.

- Is it really 4,000? - Yeah, just about.

Hey, remember, whatever this guy says about me, don't believe it, OK?

Thanks.

OK. Come on over.

I know you're nervous, but we've done this a hundred times, OK?

- Mm-hmm. - Mmm?

OK?

Excuse me, Captain Hot Tub?

Keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times. OK?

All right, that's great, Hal.

Hey!

That really inspires confidence.

So, how did this clown talk you into climbing up to the tower?

He told me it was better than sex.

Really?

You ready for the best ride in the park?

- Give me a second. I'll let you know. - OK.

Ah, you look like hell.

He made it.

Of course he did. Of course he did.

Really, there's nothing to it.

OK, I can do this.

Sure you can.

I'm sorry for all the trouble, really.

- Oh, Sarah, don't worry about it. Really. - Thanks.

- Did you see that? - Yeah, yeah.

- We're still on for dinner tonight, right? - Of course we are.

OK.

- OK. You're ready now. - OK.

That's it.

Now, just sit right down into it.

Come on, guys. The Wind's picking up.

All right, Sarah, just keep your eyes on me.

No, don't look... Sarah.

Sarah, look... Sarah, look at me. That's it.

- Right. - Just start to pull.

One hand after another. That's it.

Sarah, You're doing great... really, great. Keep goin'.

And just keep looking at me.

Sarah, that's great! You're starting to look like a pro.

Keep going.

That's it. Nice and easy.

Hey, Hal, we're gonna be out at a job soon.

All right, a little more, Sarah.

That's it.

That's it.

One, two.

Sarah?

- Oh, God! - Sarah!

Gabe! Gabe!

No! No!

- Gabe! - Sarah, Hold on!

- Sarah! - Gabe!

- Oh, please, I'm going to fall! - No, you're not!

You're OK. You're going to be OK!

- Can you reach the main line? - No, I can't!

- Don't swing. - God, I'm slipping!

- Gabe, can you keep the line steady? - That clip's not gonna hold!

- I can't hold on, Gabe! Help me, please! - Gabe.

- You have to go after her. - No!

- Gabe, no! - Hold on, Sarah.

- I'm coming out to get you! - No!

It's not rigged for two people.

Just keep it from swinging. I'm gonna send out my harness.

Forget the harness. There's no time! I'm going for her!

Gabe, shit! No!

Sarah, I'm coming for you!

I can't hold on! I'm slipping!

Hold on just a little bit longer! I'm coming for you!

Gabe, please hurry! I can't hold on!

Sarah, don't look down. Keep looking at me.

- That's it. Hold it. - I'm trying!

It's breaking. She's losing it.

- Sarah! He'll have you in a second, baby! - No, I can't

- Come on, baby! Don't you give up! - No! No!

Look at me, baby. Come on.

- Please, Sarah! - Hurry, Gabe. You're almost there.

- You're almost there, Gabe. Keep going. - I'm here, Sarah.

- Sarah, I'm here. - Gabe!

- I don't want to die! - Sarah!

Reach up and grab him! Reach up!

- Sarah, reach up! - Come on, honey!

- Use your other hand! Reach up now. - Reach up!

Sarah, you've got to reach out!

Hold on! Hold on! I got you! I got you.

- I can't hold on! I'm going to die! - You are going to be all right.

- No! - You're not going to die.

Don't you lose her, Gabe.

I got her. Reach up.

I'm slipping. I'm slipping!

- You can do it, Sarah. - Hold her, Gabe! Hold her.

Gabe, please don't let me fall.

Please, please, I don't want to die.

- You're not gonna die. - I'm slipping!

Sarah, I got you! Just reach up!

I can't, Gabe!

You can do it. Please, baby, just reach up!

- Reach up! - Hal! Hal! I'm slipping!

Gabe, man, don't you lose her!

- Don't you let her go! - Don't let me fall.

I'm slipping!

Sarah, please.

No! No, I'm slipping! Gabe!

Gabe, don't let me fall! No!

- No! - Help me! I'm falling! Gabe!

No! Please!

Gabe!

No! Sarah, no!

No!

Jesus Christ.

...forty-four A.

Treasury Agent, Mac Lamoore, please contact D.A. U.

Lock 'em up.

Travers, we'll be fueled up and ready to go in ten minutes.

Very good.

Mr. Travers.

Thank you.

- Hey, Rich. - Morning, Walt.

This is Agent Matheson, F.B.I.

Mr. Travers.

Matheson has been transferred from the Denver office to Frisco.

As a professional courtesy between offices,

I was asked if he could hitch a ride.

Got plenty of room. Be glad to accommodate you.

- Appreciate it. - You're the boss.

Let's head out to the tarmac. Matheson, have you been totally briefed?

- I don't know about totally. - Who the hell ever is?

It's the most protected shipment we've got and the most useless.

These bills aren't even in circulation.

$1,000 bills we're transporting are only used for international banking exchange.

You always transport through the air?

Mostly. Armored cars can be hijacked, trains derailed...

but nobody can touch us in flight.

Haven't lost a bill in 12 years, Walt. Don't jinx me now.

I swear. Treasury agents are the most superstitious people

in the entire federal government.

We should be. Everybody wants what we have.

Gabe! Hey, man, Gabe!

- It's Gabe. He's back! - I can see that, man.

Hey, Gabe!

Come on, man. Let's go!

- Hey, Gabe! - Gabe!

Gabe!

How you doing, Gabe?

Dude, turn that down.

You guys. How you doing, Brett, Evan?

Hey, man, where you been? You fall off the planet or something?

No, I've been working up in Denver.

- Work? - Yeah!

Don't say that word, man.

Man, I hate work, even when somebody else is doing it.

Hey, Gabe, we're flying off the tower today.
