Charles Morse and Robert Green, along with their friend and photographer Stephen are flying in a small plane over a mountainous region of rural Alaska. Morse discusses with Green that he is merely using his friendship with Morse to benefit himself through Morse's proximal wealth, benevolence and generosity. Morse concludes by saying that Green is after his wife, which Green denies and tries to pass off as a joke. Finally Morse states that the only logical course that Green will take is to kill him, and he asks how he plans to do it.
