Driver We Okay, hell of a storm. Surprised you were even able to land. I'm sure what I'm doing right now looks absolutely beautiful from the outside. A lone car wending its way up a majestic, snowy mountain. This is snow globe material. Straight up, The next time you let your kids shake the daylights out of a snow globe, say a little prayer for the people inside it. Yeah. Fifty mile an hour winds, blinding snow. My god, my
stomach's doing flips. I'm sweating. And it's not just the hellish weather or the fact that we can't see where we're going. It's the feeling you get when you stand up for yourself, you double down, and then realize you might be dead wrong when we finally make it to doctor Cosar's facility down the top of this mountain. I am hoping for the best, but I'm bracing for the worst. Jesus, I've never seen so much snow in my life.
Oh that's mighty soul again. Okay, I have to tell her no, let it.
Go to voicemail. I don't want anyone to know we're here. Santino, not yet. Oh fuck it, Santino. Please hi baby, I know, I know. I'm really sorry.
Look I got held up at the office.
I think it's gonna be another all nighter.
I know.

Oh there you happy.
I'm sorry, Santino, and thank you. I'm sorry, guys. I can't get you any further tonight. We'll head back down and dry ag it in the morning. How much further is it?

Tomorrow morning is.
Fine, Sintina. You don't have to come with me. You go back down, get a hotel room. You can come meet me here tomorrow. I have seen that look in your eye, and it's look that means, no matter what I say, you're gonna trudge your ass in the snow until you find what you need. Right yep, God damn it.
Wait up?
Has it been two miles? I think so. The driver said there was a driveway, can't miss it, but I think we made her own turn. Okay, just just just keep going.
I think we're still on the road. Think, I think warm.
