  1. EXT. MOUNTAIN - NIGHT Hank pulls himself out of the

    crevasse with a heavy thud, breathing shallow as he struggles to remain conscious. He turns to his left, towards the camera as his eyes finally close. A green glow begins to spread across his body. We see through Hank's eyes as his vision begins to blur. His vision comes in and out of black and we see a green reindeer get closer and closer. As Hanks vision goes out, the camera cuts to both the characters. The reindeer stands over Hank's lifeless body. It begins to dip its head as its antlers grow and wrap themselves beneath hank. As it raises its head, Hanks astral body is lifted out of his physical body, pulling him up to the sky. Hank regains consciousness and observes his surroundings as he’s lifted into the sky. EXT. NIGHT SKY He looks down at his hands, his lifeless physical body lying beneath him as aurora lights begin to slip off his hands, guiding his gaze to in front of him. The lights begin to form the memory of a small child drawing on the ground. She reacts to something off screen and gets up running screen left as the camera follows her to see a vision of Hank dropping his gear. When the child greets him, he picks her up and spins her around, holding her close. She pulls out a drawing and shows him excitedly. Memory Hank carries Rose off screen, revealing the current version of Hank, watching in shock as he takes in the memory. Lights swirl around the screen, transitioning to an over the shoulder shot of Hank and Rose as they sit over a large map. Rose watches eagerly over his shoulder as he places a new pin into the map, placing her head tenderly on his shoulder. The lights swirl again, transitioning to a front view of them in the same position on a couch. The lights begin to swirl and disperse around Rose, leaving only memory hank sat at the same table, staring at the map placed on the table in front of him.
  2. 2. The lights stop moving and Rose runs into the

    scene before leaning on the table in front of her, eyes up at Hank. Hank merely gives her a rub on her head as he continues to look at his map. Rose's smile fades as she slumps down onto her hand, disheartened. The lights begin to swirl around Rose again as Hank’s posture gradually become more hunched over the paper, becoming more rugged looking. Occasionally, as the lights are swirling we see brief moments of Rose attempting to interact with a distracted Hank and each time to no avail. Eventually, the lights completely stop as Rose naps on the couch next to a defeated looking Hank. Abruptly, he stands up from the couch, snatching his map and walking to his right. The camera follows Rose as she runs after him, tugging on his arm in a desperate attempt to get him to stay. Hank looks back at her briefly, pulling his arm away before exiting the shot, leaving his daughter to cry on the floor. Current Hank appears behind her reaching out as he sees this devastating vision of his daughter crying out for him. Rose begins to slowly disappear into the clouds, causing Hank to begin advancing towards her but he is too late as she disappears before he can reach her, leaving him on his knees in the clouds. Cut to a close up of Hank as tears stream down his face, finally breaking down over this vision of his past self and realising his mistakes. He continues to sob uncontrollably as lights wrap around him. EXT. MOUNTAIN - MORNING Match cut to Hank on the snowy ground as he gasps awake in the real world again, trying to catch his breath. He gets up, seemingly in better shape than before, and faces the mountain that is within reach. He glances at his map one more time, before disregarding it, letting it blow in the wind. He turns and begins walking towards the camera, towards the orginal direction he was coming from and disappears behind the camera. The map continues to blow in the wind before blowing towards the camera.
