Whiteout (2023) Movie Script

[tense music]
[woman] Just breathe,
just breathe!
[man 1] Moscow office
just got robbed.
Took a bunch of guys hostage.
- We gotta go!
- [woman] Wait, are they okay?
[man 2] Everybody out! Now!
- [woman] I'll call the embassy.
- [man 3] Fuck the embassy.
[man 2] No time for
questions! Pack up your shit!
We leave in 10:00!
If I can't find a
flight, I'll rent a car.
- Whatever it takes.
- Here! In the parking lot.
Lock the door, now!
[indistinct chatter]
You are in charge?
Yeah.-Good.
Everybody else under tables!
- [gunshot]
- [indistinct chatter]
[car engine starts]
[grunting]
[indistinct chatter]
[man] Come on, get in!
[woman] Where are you taking us?
[indistinct chatter]
[tense music]
This has to be a mistake.
We didn't... there's
no reason for this.
Just a bunch of shitty
guys looking for a buck.
Is a buck worth
being this shitty?
You ever not had a buck?
[tense music]
[gate creaks open]
[sinister music]
[tense music]
- [indistinct chatter]
- [loud speaker feedbacks]
[Kharzin] If your companies
pay, you are free to go.
Until then, work.
Give us a reason to feed you.
[grunting]
[whistle blows]
[speaking Russian]
- Come on. Come on!
- [grunting]
Work! Work!
[grunts]
[panting]
- [man screams]
- [whistle blows]
- [dog barking]
- [alarm blaring]
Shit!
[man screaming]
[gunshots]
[Kharzin] Rutherford.
Henry Rutherford.
[laughing]
[ominous music]
[Kharzin] Henry!
Join me.
Come on.
You're an engineer, yeah?
Electrical.
- So?
- If it's just the capacitor,
I can replace that
pretty easily, but, uh...
could you get another
unit like this?
Possibly. A damaged one.
We just need the one piece.
[clears throat]
Okay. I know a guy
who can get us one.
You get a signal,
and maybe I get you from
the yard from time to time.
Help with repairs.
[indistinct chatter]
[grunting]
No! No!
Don't! Please don't!
No, don't!
[grunting]
No! Please don't!
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Oh, please. No, please!
Please don't!
[grunts]
[panting]
Pull up your pants,
sweet cheeks.
Wait. You guys American?
Listen to me, no one gets
outta Kharzin's cabin alive.
Why did he let you go?
And how did you get
that fuckin' cookie?
Kharzin, he needs
a radio repaired.
- And?
- And then I'm gonna go back.
And he's gonna get a part
and then I'm going to fix it.
Next time you go up there,
- I want you to...
- No, no, no.
Hey, hey, hey, shut the fuck up.
No, this is good.
This can help us.
Listen. What's your name?
- Henry.
- Henry, okay.
We need to talk.
We have a plan.
You guys are fucking crazy.
- Just a key.
- So, what?
You're gonna get out
the locked doors?
Past the armed guards?
Outrun the rabid dogs?
Somehow get through the gate,
then travel God knows how far
through the Siberian tundra,
from the middle of
fuckin' nowhere?
That could take months!
- 10 days, if all goes well.
- "If."
[Kurt] Look, the key is
on a pink rabbit's foot.
We get that key,
we get that truck.
We get outta here.
We all go home.
[whistle blows]
Thomas.
The fuck are you doing?
Huh?
You want that to be you?
Fuck off!
Fuck off!
[grunting]
Okay.
How far do you think it
is from here to Finland?
Why?
I heard some guys talking
about... some crazy idea.
How crazy?
Crazy enough to... not
bother talking about it.
Nevermind. It's suicide.
Yeah, well, what makes...
what makes you think
staying here isn't?
- Huh?
- I know what you're getting at.
But I'm not the kind of guy
who just casually
escapes from prisons.
No one is coming to save us,
and we are not getting to
go home with good behavior.
So, you get any chance to
get outta here, you take it.
I just...
It's...
It's a choice.
So is staying here.
[coughing]
Everything all right?
Yep.
Yeah.
Sir. Sorry, I really
shouldn't put these down.
Would you mind passing
me a pair of pliers?
Don't got none in here.
Oh, uh, I think I saw
some on the bench outside.
I can probably get them.
Oh, no. No, no, no.
Wait here.
[tense music]
Henry.
What are doing?
[thuds]
Thank you.
Oh, shit.
Did you get it or what?
Fuckin' got it.
Thomas?
Hey.
You ready?
[tense music]
[metal clanging]
[speaking Russian]
[grunting]
[Anthony] Henry?
Henry!
Time to go.
[tense music]
- Two, three.
- All right.
Fill the bags.
[grunting]
[metal chain rustling]
All right, bring it in.
I'm gonna drive.
This motherfucker and
that motherfucker.
I love you guys.
See you guys on the other side.
- Okay.
- [indistinct] let's go.
All right. Okay.
Go on.
Shut up. Shut the fuck up.
[engine starts]
Go!
[engine revs]
[tires screech]
- [alarm buzzing]
- Come on!
Come on!
[panting]
[indistinct chatter]
[guns firing]
- [grunts]
- [dog barking]
[screaming]
[gunfire continues]
[indistinct shouting]
[tense music]
[groans]
- Cover me!
- Move!
[gunfire]
Let's go! Move!
Fuck!
[tense music]
I'm out!
[groans]
Henry, fuckin' run!
[panting]
[grunting]
Run!
[alarm buzzing]
Let's go, move!
[Anthony] Hurry, hurry!
[panting]
[Henry] Okay.
Can we...
Okay. I guess we'll stop here.
Yeah.
How many rounds you got left?
About half a mag?
[grunts] Thanks.
Hey.
- [metal clanks]
- We did it.
Yeah. Yeah, we did.
[sighs]
[startles]
Time to move.
[panting]
What, uh, happened last night?
You're welcome.
Sorry. Thank you.
I just...
what was supposed
to happen there?
We got a problem?
No, I just...
- Why...
- So, you can go back.
And let the Russian
rapists fuck you to death.
No?
Or maybe we can get the guards
to beat your cuck ass first.
Soften it up for 'em.
- Sorry.
- Or maybe,
just maybe... you
should shut the fuck up,
and be grateful for the
goddamn golden ticket
we gave you to get outta there.
Hey, hey, hey.
You know, you're lucky
that men like us
do the dirty work,
so boys like you can
keep your hands clean.
- Thank you.
- What's that?
Thank you.
[laughs]
Kurt, did you hear that?
Yeah, I think he gets it.
All right.
Okay.
You're welcome, Henry.
Okay.
Let's go!
[tense music]
[indistinct chatter]
What is...
- [dog barking]
- Shit.
Oh, fuck!
[gunshot]
[dog growling]
[gunshots]
Go left!
Covering!
[gunshots]-[groans]
Let's play nice.
Whoa, whoa! Hey.
My friend does not trust you.
Says that you attacked him.
Your friend tried to fuck
our friend in the ass.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, hey.
Thank you for the save.
And you're welcome for
letting you outta your cell.
Look, we have supplies.
If we can trust you, you
are welcome to join us.
[dog barking in distance]
Boys, we're all
gonna be dog food,
if we don't fuckin' move.
I need your word.
All right.
You have my word.
[ominous music]
[tense music]
- We go around.
- Nope.
See? Easy.
You're up.
Come on, Henry! Let's go!
[grunts]
[screams]
I wanna go back to the Gulag!
[chuckles]
[tense music]
[Kurt] This is the waterfall.
All right, get out of here.
Heads up!
And this way, it's five
or six days to this ridge.
Really? You think
we're that close?
We've been planning
this for months.
I don't think... are you sure?
These are the train tracks.
The nearest safe
village is in Finland.
- It's about a week walk.
- [whistles]
Shit!
- Go, go, go, go.
- Go, go, go, go.
Think it's safe to say
we officially escaped.
What'd you say?
The wilderness is
our prison now.
Let's go.
[tense music]
[objects clattering]
Vodka! -[laughs]
Hey.
What are we going
to do about this?
What?
You two.
You want to bend him
over? Get him back?
No, of course not.
Give him smack, at least.
Hm?
No, no.
Clear the air.
You have never hit a
man before, have you?
Sometimes, I...
It's okay.
- I show you.
- Oh, honestly.
Brock.
Henry is going to hit
you, one time. Hm?
No, I'm not.
[speaking Russian]
[speaking Russian]
[chuckles]
Okay. It is settled.
One punch. Okay?
- No, honestly.
- Do it, Henry.
- No, honestly, 'cause I don't...
- Come on, I'll show you.
I'll show you. Okay?
All right. Very important.
Use whole body when
you punch, okay?
Not just arm.
Whole body. Okay?
Leg back. Take leg back.
Good. Okay, make punch.
Make fist. Make fist.
Okay. Now.
Very important. Step and...
[grunts]
Okay? Now.
No here.
Here.
- I don't wanna do this.
- Oh, it's okay.
- I don't want...
- It's okay. Come.
Come on, Henry. Come on.
I don't wanna do this. I...
One. Come on.
Okay.
[Henry] No, no.
I'd really... I'd
really rather not.
Henry.-I...
- I don't want...
- Do it, Henry!
[grunts]
[panting]
[groans]
[laughter]
Fuck!
Good job, Henry. Good job.
Nostrovia.
[dramatic music]
[Anthony] No kidding, single.
At least, I think she's single.
Anyway, I paid good
money for this hotel room
and I wanna have a good time.
So, I take my other hand,
I take my other hand,
and I work up to her
delightful titty,
and I give it a squeeze.
And bam!
Milk, right in my eye.
[laughter]
Um, Moloko.
Yes! That!
Moloko!
- [laughter]
- Yeah, breast milk!
I know it's natural
and everything,
but I just kept
thinking about babies,
so I just rolled over
and I don't know,
I fuckin' pretended
to fall asleep.
[laughs]
I would've poured a
glass of Moloko first.
[laughter]
[tense music]
[laughs]
Moloko.
Brock! Shit.
Henry! Stop!
[Henry grunts]
- Rope!
- On it.
Henry!
Rope!
[tense music]
Hurry!
[tense music]
Henry. Henry, push!
Come on, come on.
Come on, pull!
Come on, Henry.
[panting]
Okay. Okay. Let's go.
All right.
You're okay.
[grunts]
Get up.
Come on.
Come on, Henry!
- That's one.
- [grunts]
Hey, Henry! Hey!
Henry! Breathe!
Fuck.
Hey, we need to
get a fire going.
- Yeah.
- Henry? Henry. Hey, Henry.
Wake the fuck up.
[shivering]
Please, please, God.
When you start praying,
you stop trying.
Get up, Henry.
[coughing]
Get up, Henry!
[gun clicks]
[tense music]
[gunshot]
Run!
- [gunshots]
- Run, Henry!
[panting]
How do you feel?
Terrified.
Confused.
Cold?
- What do we have left?
- Eight cans of beans.
Some bread. Biscuits.
That's it?
I'm sorry. What did you bring?
I wasn't planning an
escape for three months.
It's not like there was
a fucking pantry to raid.
Enough! We've already
crossed the lake.
We're making good time.
Yeah.
And there's one
less mouth to feed.
[tense music]
[coughs]
When they go...
[clicks]
Okay.
[coughs]
[panting]
Henry.
[coughing]-Henry.
Come on.
[tense music]
[coughs]
[panting]
[coughs]
[tense music]
Eat, Henry.
If you don't eat, you will die.
So will we.
[tense music]
[coughs]
[bird squawks]
Looks like the only way up.
Easy enough.
If you don't fuck up.
You think he can do it?
You think he'll
survive another night?
I wanna get him
back on his feet.
- [Kurt] But there's a point.
- [Anthony] There is a point.
We can't just keep
feeding him everything.
One more night.
If he can carry himself
up, it'll be worth it.
If not, we'll put him down.
Take what meat we can.
[ominous music]
[Victor] Henry.
- Get up, Henry.
- Oh, I can't.
I tried earlier. I...
- Get up!
- What?
Listen to me. There is no time.
Have you shot one of these?
- What? No.
- Here.
Stock in the shoulder.
Finger off the trigger,
unless you intend to kill.
And if you do, safety is here.
Stabilize here.
Mag.
[tense music]
Why are you showing me this?
Why do you think they
brought you here?
A cow is only kept alive,
as long as there is feed.
If you are not on
your feet tomorrow,
they are going to
eat you, Henry.
[tense music]
Hide your fear.
Welcome back.
- Good morning.
- [Anthony] Good night, actually.
Rest up. Hard times
in the morning.
[panting]
Bring your left foot up!
There you go!
All right! I'm up, boys.
Enjoy the view.
[grunting]
[tense music]
Piece of piss.
Once we get up there,
how are we gonna...
Not now. Focus.
[Kurt] You're up, Henry!
Come on!
[grunting]
Oh, God! Oh, God!
Oh!
Don't worry! Kurt's got ya!
[Henry] Okay, I'm
okay. Sorry. Slipped.
Okay.
Victor, come on. You're
not even tied off yet.
- Just climb.
- Okay.
Okay. Okay.
Okay. Reach.
Reach.
[grunting]
Okay.
Step up. Step up.
[panting]
[Victor] Okay. Okay, Henry.
[panting]
Henry, they have you.
You got this. Okay?
- Let's go.
- Okay.
Okay. Okay.
[grunting]
- Reach!
- [Henry] Okay.
- Reach!
- Okay. [grunts]
No, no, no, no!
No! No!
Victor!
- He's still alive!
- Henry, stop!
- [Henry] Let me down!
- Stop moving!
Henry! Stop moving!
Victor, I'm coming down!
God damn it. Take the rope.
Take the rope.
Victor, I'm coming down!
- I'm coming down...
- [gunshot]
[tense music]
[grunting]
[panting]
[tense music]
- You didn't have to...
- You didn't stop.
Still.
You didn't have to shoot him.
What happened when you
tried to save Brock?
Kurt.-Hm?
If you had listened to us,
Victor might still be alive.
[sobbing]
You want me to go get him?
Nah. Give him a few minutes.
You know, you didn't
have to say that.
Don't get too close.
All right, boys.
It's all beans from here.
We'll reach the train
tracks tomorrow.
We'll have to pass
some high ground.
It's gonna be cold up there,
but we'll try to camp
below the snow line.
It'll get easier from there.
[tense music]
That's either gonna kill you, or
make you shit out your eyeballs.
I don't wanna shit
out my eyeballs.
Speaking of shitting.
There was this one
time in Cabo...
well, Kurt could
tell you better.
Kurt!
[Kurt] Fuck!
Where the hell are
the train tracks?
[Kurt] This doesn't
make any sense.
- Oh, no.
- What?
I was... I was
worried that... fuck!
What? What?
I've seen surveys of the
area and I thought that...
Wait, wait, wait. You
knew where we were
and you didn't
fuckin' say anything?
I wasn't positive.
You guys seemed to know
what you were doing,
and our drones didn't do
detailed scans of all the...
You've seen fucking
drone footage?
All right.
Where the fuck are we?
You thought that
the prison was here,
but I think it was
actually back here.
So, the train tracks would be...
What're you saying?
They're on the other side
of those fucking mountains!
- Fuck!
- Jesus fucking Christ.
Fuck!
Fuck!
You fuckin' son of a bitch!
I will fucking kill you.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Get the fuck off of me! Huh?
Next time you think
you know something
that might save our lives,
you fucking say it.
Do you understand me?
Two cans left.
We stick to the plan,
get past the lake,
go through the mountain,
find the train tracks.
Should we stop to hunt at all?
We need to cover as
much ground as we can.
Hope we find something.
The longer we're out here,
the more dangerous it gets.
What're we gonna do
if we run outta food?
Start praying.
[tense music]
Okay.
Any luck?
Nope. Not yet.
But I thought that if we are
walking by the lake
later on today,
we could stop for
a fishing trip.
Everything might
be frozen up there.
Might be worth it.
[dramatic music]
We have to move.
We wasted half a
day on this shit.
And a bean.
Get up.
[dramatic music]
[Kurt] What are you doing?
We lost a day. We lose a night.
Kurt, I don't think he can...
No, no, I'm good.
I'm good.
Let's go.
All right.
[tense music]
You doing all right?
Never better.
Yeah.
Oh.
I can't believe I
never asked, but...
how'd you end up in that place?
You don't wanna know.
That bad?
- You got a wife?
- No.
Just Moloko stories.
Kids? -Probably.
My wife didn't want
me to come to Russia.
She said, uh, Sophie wouldn't
know me when I got back.
I could explain every
detail of this, but, uh...
well... you can imagine.
All right. Tell me about 'em.
Well, uh, if you look here,
you'll see some brown
hair flowing in the wind,
that leads to the lovely
face of my wife Lily.
She actually has blonde
hair but she dyes it brown
so people at work take
her more seriously.
And if you follow her
freckled arm down this way,
you'll see it wrapped around
my sassy little girl, Sophie.
She's only five years old,
but, I swear, she
thinks she runs house.
Uh, this one time, she
called a family meeting
at 6:15 AM, only to tell us
that we had another meeting,
the next day at 6:15.
She's such a little shit.
- You know?
- Down.
Come on. Come on,
come on, come on.
Shoot.
[gunshots]
Fuck! No!
Not bad.
Not good.
But not bad.
Kurt?
[tense music]
[Kurt] What the
fuck are you doing?
[Henry] No, no, no,
no, no! Please, please!
Motherfucker tried
to take my gun!
- What?
- No, no!
- I thought I saw a wolf!
- A wolf?
You saw a fuckin' wolf?
[Henry] I didn't
wanna startle it,
I just thought that
even if I could shoot...
You never fucking touch my gun!
Please, please, please!
I-I-I'm sorry! Okay?
Bad idea! Bad idea!
It won't happen again.
It was... please.
Please.
We good?
Yeah.
Just go back to sleep.
Okay.
Okay.
[grunts]
Kurt, what the
fuck are you doing?
[grunting]
[Henry] Please...
[groaning]
[screams]
The fuck are you doing?
This is why he's here.
[groaning]
[tense music]
Henry.
What?
- Henry, stop. Henry.
- What the...
Henry, stop!
You with me?
I'm sorry about last night.
It's not how I wanted
that to happen.
Hunger does strange
things to men.
This is about survival, Henry.
We don't wanna kill
you. We don't...
don't wanna have to eat you.
Really.
But this is why we freed you.
Fucking just let me go.
Fuck!
- Fuck!
- Shut the fuck up!
Fucking let me go, you...
Shut up! Stop!
Shut the fuck up!
I'm gonna offer you a choice.
If you want,
I will kill you right now.
Or...
you can come with us.
And there is a chance...
that you will walk
out of these woods.
Just not whole.
Henry...
you have to choose.
[tense music]
I'll come with you.
Good man.
[clears throat]
[suspenseful music]
- Whoa!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey. Hey.
You gotta be careful, Henry.
[suspenseful music]
It might get easier, down there.
[tense music]
This will do.
[Henry] Fuck!
Fuck! I can't.
Let's just find
an easier way up.
It'd be fine if we weren't
dragging this sack of shit.
- Come on.
- [Henry] Fuck.
[grunting]
[grunting]
[groans]-Anthony!
Reach!
- Henry, reach!
- Come on!
[Anthony] Reach!
This is fucked.
This is sad. We need
to finish him now.
I am not carrying his fucking
carcass up this entire mountain!
Climb.
Hey!
Get your ass up and climb,
or you will never
fucking move again.
Do you hear me?
[grunts]
[eerie music]
[Henry] Oh, fuck.
You know, if you
were in better shape,
we could've climbed up there
and saved all this drama.
Yeah?
Would you guys have chosen
me in the first place
if I wasn't such a fat fuck?
All right. You're good.
[whimpers]
[suspenseful music]
[panting]
I understand.
What's that?
You're doing what
you have to do.
I mean, I don't like it.
But... I get it.
You guys are soldiers, right?
Yeah. Something like that.
You do what you have
to do to survive.
Yeah. Not this.
I don't know.
You want guys who
can do what we do.
Who've done what we've done.
But this?
Henry.
I'm sorry.
I wish there was another way.
I would've been
killed in that place.
So...
if going through this means
that I have the smallest chance
of seeing my family again?
Then... thank you.
I just wanna go home, man.
Me, too.
[eerie music]
Guys, guys, guys!
Ah, fuck!
Fuck!
Don't!
[groaning]
If we cut below the
elbow, we can sanitize
and cauterize it
before he bleeds out.
[Henry] You don't
have to do this!
You don't have to
do this! Please!
Hold him still.
Fuck! [grunts]
[groaning]
You chopped my hand in half!
Fuck. Where's the ammo?
- Ammo!
- I don't fucking know!
- Just do something!
- Come on!
[panting]
Okay.
[suspenseful music]
[grunting]
Okay. Okay.
- Where the fuck is he?
- [gunshot]
Jesus!
You've gotta be
fucking kidding me.
[Henry] Come on.
How many rounds left?
[Kurt] Okay. Anthony, hey.
Next shot, you go
around that way.
I'm gonna go around this
way. We're gonna flank him.
Flank him? I have
no gun, one hand.
He's got no arm and no
fucking clue what he's doing.
Get your goddamn head
out of your fucking ass.
Okay.
Oh, he's gone.
[grunting]
Kurt!
[suspenseful music]
[pants]
[grunts]
[tense music]
[grunts]
Get the fuck off me.
[groaning]
[panting]
[gunshot]
[tense music]
[panting]
[eerie music]
- [gunshot]
- [grunts] Fuck.
Fuck!
Oh, fuck!
I got him.
Oh, then fucking take him!
I'm done with this!
Almost empty, Henry!
Save one for yourself!
It's over, Henry.
Don't make this harder on
yourself than it needs to be.
[screams]-[gunshot]
[laughs]
[groans]
Gotta hand it to you, Henry.
I'm a little impressed.
- Oh, God.
- What the fuck are you doing?
[grunts]
[groaning]
There you go.
Piece of shit.
[screaming]
[choking]
[screaming]
[grunts]
[tense music]
[gasping]
[screaming]
[sobbing]
[screams]
[panting]
[grunting]
[chuckles]
[eerie music]
[grunting]
[groaning]
It's okay.
[eerie music]
Fuck.
[eerie music]
[shivering]
[coughing]
