Arctic Air (2012–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - Bombs Away - full transcript

Previously on Arctic Air...

I've been asked to run against
Simon Moise in the next election.

You're gonna run for chief?

This is it!

[Grunting with effort]

A few bumps on the road, hey?

But here I am.

[Loreen]: I was wrong to think you'd
want to jump into a cockpit so soon.

I've had crashes before.

No one's ever died before.

Those are sacred waters.



What's it costing you?

Simon Moise's support
for your mine?

Where's Kirby?

We've got a date.

He asked me to tell you

he'll take you out
tomorrow night.

Don't lie for him Cece,
he's not worth it.

Excuse me, stewardess,

can't this thing
go any faster?

[Chuckles]

She was built in 1939.

This is fast.

Perfect.

[Telephone ringing]



Good afternoon, Arctic Air.

Loreen, it's Hailey,
there's a bomb on the DC3!

What?

You know,
we're doing you a favour.

You're lucky
you're in the air at all.

Trust me, sweetheart,
if I had my choice,

I wouldn't be stuck
on some antique plane

with pilot Barbie.

[Call ringing]

Oh, come on!

[Beeps satellite phone]

Hello.

If I had a choice, this crap would be
on the tarmac back in Yellowknife,

and your ass would be on its
way out of town, forever.

- Krista?
- Love you, too.

- Krista!
- What?

There's a bomb on the plane.

[♪]

Arctic Air
So2 Ep02 - Bombs Away

[Hum of conversation]

I like that.

Hailey?

How's it going
down here?

I'm going to give
these to you, and...

Ooh, uh-uh.

We're trying to get the rally on
the 6:00 news, so no profanity.

It's all coming together.

You work fast.

I'm impressed.

Since I lost the election
to Simon Moise,

we needed a backup plan.

You really think
you could stop the mine?

Well, Dearman's investors
are getting nervous,

and if there is any delays,

they are going to
pull out,

so we need to
pressure the chiefs.

Wow, you're more dangerous to Dearman
now that you lost the election.

Yeah, well, we could
still use some help.

Hey, I raised you a lot
of money on your campaign.

There's still so much
work to do, Bobby.

Hey, good to
see you again.

Jonas degho.

Joe's boy?

Right. Hey!

Good to see you
again, too.

- Who's he?
- That's Philip George.

West coaster.

Came on his own
when he heard about the mine.

Hey, um, want to do
some caribou later?

Absolutely.

Look what I found in a box
in the back of the hangar.

Aw, cute.

Yeah, Silas gave this
to me years ago.

I thought I'd lost it.

So you've been rummaging
around in old boxes

instead of running your airline
and flying your planes?

Excuse me
for being nostalgic.

Knock yourself out.

I think I will.

Speaking of Silas,

his granddaughter isn't
back from lunch yet.

Oh, I guess she's still
helping out her mom.

I guess the Martins get special
treatment around here.

The Martins own
a chunk of this airline.

Must be nice.

[Chuckling] It is.

Mel Ivarson.

Bruce Ward.

Hello, Loreen.

Heard you took over your Uncle's
business after he died.

After he was murdered.

Is there a reason
for this visit?

To put that
all in the past

so that Ward Trucking
and Arctic Air

can work together again.

I don't know.

Zach put us
in a tough spot last year.

[Chuckles ruefully]
Yeah.

Well, he was smuggling drugs
with your planes.

I'm not my Uncle.

At least you don't have
any illusions

about how he did business.

Well, I don't either
about how he died.

Well, why would you?
He got shot.

They never found
the guy who did it.

I didn't see who did it
if that's what you're asking.

I read the police report.

Anything you didn't tell them?

Nope.

Maybe you bumped your
head in that plane crash

and lost some of your memory.

Talking about it might
bring everything back.

I doubt it.

You never know.

And us working together,

it'll be good
for both companies.

You're late.

Sorry.

The meeting took longer
than I thought.

So how about we work off
your late lunch

at the end of the day?

I can't.

I have to help plan
tomorrow's rally.

Waste of time
if you ask me.

I still get half the day off
tomorrow, right?

- Hey.
- Hey.

So there's a rally tomorrow?

Yeah. I told you about it.

Right.

[Stammering]
Right...

[Dearman]: I'm sure the other
chiefs will be on board.

I'm just waiting
for Simon to confirm that.

Well, if they don't,
we're getting a divorce.

[Laughs]

See, that's why
I married you, sweetheart,

that fantastic sense of humour.

Ah, and I thought
it was for my family's money.

You know the investors
are getting nervous.

How nervous?

Nervous enough to talk to me.

They wanted the mine open now.

I thought I made it clear

that we couldn't proceed until
Simon Moise was re-elected.

You are giving those Indians
too much power.

Darling, like it or not,

we need the chiefs
to sign that deal.

We need them to sign off

on the environmental
impact assessment.

I brought those investors
to the table.

My reputation
is on the line here.

Yeah, so is mine.

Look, as soon as we have
the support of the other chiefs,

everything will run
like clockwork.

It better.

It will.

Okay, they're here.

I gotta go.

Gentlemen.

Good morning.

Why don't you put it in the briefing
room so everyone can see it?

It's mine.

Can you fly a charter
to Wrigley tomorrow morning?

Oh, I wish,

but probably not a good idea.

My meds are still
affecting my system.

How?

Oh, I don't know.

I just feel Kinda weird,

especially
in the mornings.

- Are you still taking them?
- No.

Okay, well, let me know
when it wears off.

I will.

142!

- So how'd it go?
- Good.

You'll get your
stamp of approval.

That'll please
the investors.

It'll piss people off
even more.

The chiefs will be under
a lot of pressure.

I think the chiefs
can handle it.

I need a favour.

The rally tomorrow.

It'd be nice if there was
someone there

to make it
a more balanced discussion,

without connecting it
to me, of course.

We'll make it balanced.

Thank you.

Whoa, nice shot!

Where's your husband?

Playing video games.

Hello? Deanna?

Anybody here?

[Cell phone rings]

Deanna!

Hey, you at my house?

Just got here.

I'm gonna be late.

You can start supper
if you want.

Yeah, sure.

Bye!

I need you to get
that equipment ready.

I'm flying it up to the mine
first thing in the morning.

Shouldn't be a problem.

[Flames whoosh,
debris clattering]

[Fresh explosions]

[Dearman]: You don't
understand, it is destroyed!

All of it!

None of the content
was flammable or explosive.

Hold on a second.

Hey, corporal!

This is obviously
a targeted attack.

That was half a million dollars
worth of equipment in there.

Gone!

Yeah, I'm back.

I don't care what time it is.

I need it replaced immediately.

Good. Do it.

Now, who would want to destroy
your equipment?

You want a list?

Thanks.

So, what happened to Kirby?

He's at home
playing video games.

[Knock on door]

[Speaking T'licho]

[Knocking resumes]

Video games?

Don't even get me started.

Corporal Sahcho.

Evening, Deanna.

How's your mom?

Oh, she's good.

Your sister need
some tutoring this summer?

Not this year, I hope, eh?

Knock on wood.

Hi, Bobby.

So, what are you
doing here?

You know Ronnie Dearman?

Yeah.

Well, he lost some equipment

in an explosion
in the warehouse tonight.

Explosion?

A bomb.

Well, I-I've been
here all night.

I don't know
anything about it.

We're still going to
talk about it.

What the hell
do you want?

What did you tell the cops?

You mean after
my equipment was bombed?

What did you tell them?

They asked me for a list of my
enemies and I gave it to them.

My sister on that list?

You both are.

She wouldn't do
anything violent.

That girl hates my guts.

We all do.

It wasn't her.

I don't know, maybe it was
a rival company, you know?

Part of that whole
corporate espionage thing.

Yeah, eco-terrorists

who don't want
the uranium mine.

It was probably
just troublemaking youth.

What, with a bomb? Nah.

Maybe it was
my mother-in-law.

[Laughing]

Oh, jeez,
look at that...

It was a joke.

It was a bad joke,
but it was just a joke.

I-I didn't mean anything by it.

I'm like that.

I use humour inappropriately.

I know.

It's something I'm working on.

You should hear
some of the things

mom says about you.

Are you gonna come
to the rally?

I... I can't.

Mel's been busting balls
ever since he came back.

I asked for the time off
and my balls are fine.

Your Uncle
is one of the owners.

I didn't expect you
to come anyway.

Hey.

How much longer is this
protest stuff gonna go on?

As long as it takes.

Look, I'm sorry

that your mom lost the election
and everything, but...

But what?

You're always complaining
that I'm never around,

but now you're
never around.

You'll get used to it.

I did.

We gotta get someone
to clean up behind the hangar.

It's a pigsty back there.

Feeling better?

Sort of.

'Cause we could use
another pilot in the rotation.

Can I put you in?

Sure, sign me up.

See how I'm feeling
in the morning.

All right.

Been going for
about 10,000 years.

We have to go ahead
with the rally.

If we put it off now,

it'll look like
we don't mean business...

Okay, look,

I was just saying,
because of the bomb,

it would be smart
to postpone that rally.

No way. That sucks.

We're trying to get people
on side, not alienate them.

Dearman's replaced
the equipment.

And if they're
not going to stop,

I don't think we should.

I mean, I don't
believe in violence,

but I understand,
I get it, why people do that,

and that bomb made
quite the impression.

Everyone thinks we did it.

Yeah, but that shouldn't
stop us, Hailey.

If this mine opens,
people will die.

We got to do everything we can
to stop it.

Now, you all know
what your jobs are,

so I'll see you at the rally.

- What?
- I'm worried about you.

Don't worry about me,
little brother.

You're becoming obsessed.

I prefer "Committed."

[Crowd cheering]

This land is not ours
to own or to profit from.

This land is borrowed
from our children

and our children's children!

[Cheering and applause]

And it is our job to make sure

that she, in seven generations,

is still able to nourish us,

and not only our people,

but all people!

[Cheering and shouting]

If this land dies,

we will all die.

And I am willing to die
to protect her.

So I'm standing here today
asking of all you here

what are you willing to do?

[Cheering and applause]

[Speaking T'licho]

[Drummers beat steadily]

Your dad would've
been proud.

Thanks, Mel.

Heading back
to the shop.

Our airline
doesn't run itself.

I'll be there in a bit.

Well, I think
we're getting

our message across, so...

But the thing is,
I spoke to some elders,

and they're willing
to pressure the chiefs.

Then let them do the talking and
just lie low for a while.

I can't do that.

[Drummers beat and sing]

[♪]

We're not opposed
to development,

it just has to be sustainable,

and it has to be safe
for the environment,

otherwise
it's not worth the risk.

A lot of our people
want the uranium mine.

They need jobs.

They wanna feed
their families.

The jobs are
going to be short-lived.

The land will be destroyed
for generations.

You're not a scientist,
you're a school teacher.

And you work for
Ward Trucking.

You'll be transporting
equipment to the mines.

- Am I right?
- We need jobs.

You guys
are brainwashed.

We need to stop the mine.

Go chain yourself to a moose.

Piss off.

You piss off.

[Crowd shouting in concern]

Hey!

This won't help.

New equipment just crossed
the Deh Cho bridge.

It will be here tonight

and we will fly it to the mine
first thing in the morning.

It better.

The consortium will pull out
if there are any more delays.

They said that?

Threatened to back
a mine in Australia.

We can't afford
anything else to go wrong.

It won't.

[Signal crackles and fades]

What the hell?

[Distorted voice interrupts]
The uranium mine

will never go ahead.

Oh, yeah?
And who the hell are you?

You have one minute
to get out of your office.

Or what?

Or you will blow up with it.

[Laughs, scoffing]

[Tires squealing]

You're taking
things too far.

I didn't start this fight.

You're a community leader,

and going off
half-cocked like that

wasn't a good idea.

It wasn't half-cocked.

Saying you're gonna die?

[Banging on door]

[Sighs]

What?

Dearman's office was bombed.

Was he hurt?

No, he made it
out in time.

You mind coming downtown?
Answering a few questions?

No. No, Kenny.

I answered your questions
last night.

I have a few more.

Yeah, well, you either arrest
me, or you leave me alone.

Deanna Martin,
I'm arresting you

for unlawful
use of explosives...

Hey, take
your hands off her!

Don't, or they'll
arrest you, too.

It's okay.

You have the right to retain
and instruct counsel

without further delay.

This is crazy.

She's not the only
environmentalist in town.

She's a leader,

and she's been arrested
at violent protests before.

What, you didn't know?

That still doesn't mean
that she's going to make a bomb.

I wouldn't have charged her
if I didn't have evidence.

What evidence?

[Speaking T'licho]

What's gonna happen?

She's gonna need
a lawyer.

Is she gonna go to jail?

I hope not.

Look, you should
go back to work.

How am I supposed to work?

There's nothing
you can do here.

Look, I'll call you
as soon as I know anything.

Sorry I'm late...

It's okay. We heard.

Everyone thinks it sucks
your mom got arrested.

I think it sucks, too.

I should
get back to work.

What can I do?

Nothing.

What have they got?

Video of her truck
at the crime scenes.

Both explosions.

How do they know
it's her truck?

License plate.

How do they know
she was in it?

She said that it was parked
in her driveway all night.

Neighbours
said it wasn't.

Why would she say that?

People lie
for a lot of reasons.

Well, do you think she did it?

I'm her lawyer.

I'm the last person
you should ask.

Can we see the video?

Not unless you know
someone on the inside.

[Bomb blasts,
glass shattering]

That's her truck,
all right.

Well, there's two of them.

You can't tell who, though.

Dearman thought one of them
looked like an Indian

with long, black hair.

From this?

No, from this.

[Voice distorted]:
You have one minute

to get of your office.

[Dearman]: Or what?

[Distorted voice]: Or you
will blow up with it.

Whoever it is,

they're in Deanna's
pickup truck.

They have long,
dark hair, too.

A lot of people
have long, dark hair.

Where'd they get the footage?

Dearman's computer.

Paranoid bastard
records all his Skype calls,

even with his wife.

So we have to
convince the cops

someone else
used her truck.

Well, that shouldn't be hard.

Just ask her who had it.

She's not talking.

What do you mean
she's not talking?

Not even to me.

Hey, how did you get in here?

Gabby. Loreen's cousin.

It's good to have relatives
in low places, huh?

Oh, I think Kenny Sahcho
turned a blind eye, too.

[Chuckles] Yeah.

How you doing?

I've been arrested.

Other than that, I'm good.

I've seen the evidence.

The bomber was
in your truck.

Were you involved?

Please, Deanna!

If you don't talk,
you'll go to jail.

Who are you
covering for?

Who had your truck?

[Speaking t'licho]

Your mom is lying
to the cops.

Look, either she did it,

or she's protecting
somebody.

- Is it you?
- No!

Then who was driving her truck
when those bombs went off?

A lot of people
used her truck.

Me, Raymond, Jonas.

Well, do you have
your blasting ticket?

Anyone can learn how to build
a bomb on the Internet.

Anyone like who?

Come on, Hailey!

I need to think.

There was a lot
going on

between the election
and the protest.

Everything's a blur.

Well, think real hard,

or your mom could be spending
a long time in jail.

[Loreen and Krista
talking quietly]

You okay?

Huh?

[Chuckles]
Little jumpy.

Uh, just getting back
into the swing.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, older we get,
harder it is to bounce back, eh?

No sense lying to
ourselves about it.

- Nobody's lying.
- Nobody?

- No.
- Okay.

You know, we should go for
a beer together, you and me.

We should.

Maybe raise a little hell.

So we've got these two, and...

[Speaking T'licho]

Do you want to drive
out to the lake right now?

Sure.

Shit.

What, are you
spying on me?

Right now I don't care about
what the two of you are doing.

I want to know
who had your mom's truck

when those bombs went off.

Was it him?

Is that why
you drove out here?

No!

I was upset so I wanted
to talk to someone.

Then it was Jonas.

I was with him
the whole time that night,

working on the rally.

How do I know you're not
protecting your friend?

Oh, we're not friends.

The two of you
were working that night.

That doesn't mean
we're friends.

What up?

You're a pretty
militant guy, huh?

Yeah, I believe in
certain things.

How long have you had
your blasting ticket?

How do you know about that?

You just told me.

I didn't plant any bombs.

I don't think
Deanna did either,

and I know my sister.

Do you?

So what, are you all involved?

Covering for each other?

What do you mean?

Well, Philip George,

he said that the two of you
were out together that night.

Had a drink,

a couple of good friends
out on the town.

Yeah.

Me and Philip, we're tight.

[Chuckles mirthlessly]

Yeah, that's what he said.

[Dialing]

Freddie, do me a favour.

Find out anything you can
about Philip George,

because a lot of people
are lying to me,

and I know
that he's one of them.

[Door creaks open]

I'll call you back later.

Does this mean you're
releasing my sister?

Come on, Martin,
stay out of it.

I can't fly to
trout lake this morning.

I tied one on last night.

Didn't get enough hours
between bottle and throttle.

- We can delay the flight.
- Oh, it went pretty late.

I might still be half cut.

We cracked open that two-sixer

at the back of
the filing cabinet.

Had a little more kick
than I thought.

Okay.

Whoa, Mel.

What the hell happened to you?

Uh, late night?

Well, I just got a call
from Twin Lakes Airline.

And?

You're not gonna believe this.

Why are they still
holding on to her?

They are convinced

that Deanna and Jonas
were working together.

Well, can't you get her out
on bail or something?

Jonas told the cops

about another bomb,

and it was wired to
the ignition in Dearman's car.

They disarmed it,

but there might be
attempted murder charges.

Might not be bail at all.

[Muttering] Shit!

What did you find out
about Philip?

He doesn't exist.

Bobby!

Twin Lakes asked for help
with a charter.

Ah, extra cash is good.

What?

It's equipment
for the uranium mine,

and Ronnie Dearman
is the lone passenger.

No way.

You know what that mine
is gonna do to the land?

It's business...

Besides, our people
need those jobs.

Okay, that's
another argument.

For now it's just
helping out another airline

with a charter.

Come on, you know
how this goes.

What happens
when we need help?

Well, obviously,
I'm outvoted, so whatever.

I've got to get
my sister out of jail.

[Call ringing]

[Door opens]

What the hell are you
doing in here?

Your boyfriend's real name
is Ivan raymore.

He's from
saskatchewan.

Had his blasting ticket
from road construction.

Is this true?

You know when you said

that you were with Jonas
the whole time,

and I thought you were lying?

Now I believe you.

That makes you the accomplice,
not Deanna.

You're such a liar!

You told me you had
nothing to do with it.

My mom is in jail

because of you.

The bombs weren't meant
to hurt anyone.

It was just meant
to cause delays

and scare off the investors.

Dearman's car?

It would have went off
when he wasn't in it.

It was wired to the ignition,
and that would've killed him.

Lucky for you Jonas
went to the cops.

[Chuckles]

That's not why
he told the cops.

What are you not telling us?

[Chuckles]

I'm not telling you anything.

You're not
going anywhere.

[Groaning in pain]

Enough. Enough!

You're done!

The cops are on their way!

[Laughing]

There's another bomb,
isn't there?

Where?

Please, Philip!

It's Dearman's equipment.

That's where the target is.

You can't stop it.

It was set to go off

a few hours after the plane
landed at the mine site.

You're going to tell me
exactly where.

It's not going
to hurt anybody.

There was
a mechanical problem.

Arctic Air took over
that charter.

Oh, my God, it's going to
explode in midair.

Krista's flying it.

[Telephone rings]

Dammit! Where's Loreen?

Probably in cargo
covering for me.

Keep calling.

[Telephone ringing]

Good afternoon, Arctic Air.

Loreen, it's Hailey.
There's a bomb on the DC3!

What?

Did they take
the sat phone?

[Satellite phone rings]

[Call ringing]

Oh, come on!

[Phone ringing]

Hello?

Loreen, hello to you
on this beautiful day.

And if I had a choice,

this crap would be on the tarmac
back in Yellowknife

and your ass would be on
its way out of town...

- Krista!
- What?

There's a bomb on the plane!

Where?

How much time do we have?

How can there be
a bomb on the plane?

Those terrorists
are in jail.

What're you doing?

Trying to save our lives.

Crate 17, look for it.

Come on, we've only got
a few minutes.

Here! 17!

Okay, we've got to
throw it out.

No, whoa!

Open it.

Look, this is
expensive equipment.

We don't even know
if there's a bomb in there!

Look, it'll take two seconds.

[Crate lid creaks open]

- Got it?
- Yup.

Found it!

We found it.

Timer's down to four minutes.

That's no good.

You're 20 minutes
from the nearest airstrip.

We'll call you back.

What are we doing?

There's nowhere
close enough to land.

We have to push it out.

What can I do?

Go fly the plane.

Lower your air speed

to reduce the wind pressure
on the cargo door,

otherwise
they can't get it open.

Okay.

- Hang on.
- What?

I've got to
open the door.

Some help!

Get something
to prop the door open.

Help!

Help me push
the door open.

[Air gusting]

- Got it?
- Yeah!

They got the door open.

Down to a minute.

A minute!

[Grunting with effort]

What happened?

It's stuck on another crate!

Okay, just move the crate back,
slide it to the side.

- Come on.
- All right!

It's out.

It's out, they got it out.

They got it out in time.

[All cheering in relief]

Yes!

[Laughing in triumph]

That was a $50,000
piece of equipment.

Arctic Air's gonna pay for it.

[Clattering heavily]

[Spluttering]

[♪]

A bomb on a plane?

What next?

Hopefully nothing.

[Chuckles ruefully]

Your daughter.

She is fearless.

Always has been.

Sore hand?

Uh... yeah.

I just bruised it
trying to open the cargo door.

Hmm.

And you?

Slipped on some gravel.

Landed on it.

[Chuckling]

Come here.

You saved my life.

I owe you one.

Call it even.

[Chuckling awkwardly]

[Sighing]

- You lied.
- What?

I took that bottle out of your
filing cabinet last month.

Loreen and her big mouth.

What's this?

- Doctor.
- I have a doctor.

Yeah, not this kind of doctor.

A shrink?

You lied about
getting drunk last night

because you're
afraid of flying,

and since we can't
talk about it,

you should find someone
you can talk to.

Life's too short, dad.

I never knew
you were arrested before.

Me neither.

Well, you know,
it was a long time ago.

I can't believe

you thought
I was involved.

Well, you did borrow
my truck that night.

And you.

You thought
I did it?

Not for a minute.

[Chuckling]

When are you
going to tell Kirby?

Never. He doesn't need to know.

He's your husband, my girl.

Yes, and I will deal with him.

I just want you to be happy.

Me too.

- Hey.
- Hey!

- [Excitedly] Family dinner.
- Yeah.

It's been a while.

What are you having?

[Sighs shakily]

[Starts to cry]

Hey. Hey, whoa, whoa.

Whoa...

[Mouthing wordlessly]

Hey, come on...

Hey...

It's okay, hails.

They caught the bad guys.

We're good.

[Hailey crying softly]
