Arctic Air (2012–…): Season 3, Episode 2 - High Water - full transcript

Previously on Arctic Air...

I met somebody
while I was in Bali.

Everybody, this is Tag.

That bomb made
quite the impression.

That girl hates my guts.

We all do.

Might want to remember
who your friends are.

Is that supposed
to be a threat?

You want my company?
It's yours.

The two of you.

Figure out a way
to run it between you.



♪ There's a game...

Well, it looks like
I will once again

be washing my vitals
in the kitchen sink.

♪ ...with the boys
and the girls ♪

I really need to get going.

I have to catch
my flight to Nahanni.

We're probably wasting water.

Well, two showers in one...

Oh, I wish I could
fly you down there.

Why don't you
just come with me?

Mm. I want to...

Babe... babe...

I have to go to work.

Just a few more minutes.



♪ Let's fall in love...

I have to go.

All right.
I'll see you later.

♪ Ahh

♪ ahh-ahh-ahh

♪ ahh, ahh

I'm getting calls

from all over
about the flooding.

The roads are washed out.

We need to add
more supply runs.

Yeah, it's the fastest
spring melt I've ever seen.

I can't believe
how much things have changed

since we were kids.

Careful!

That's the sentence
that triggers turning into

a grumpy old fart.

Until Metallica breaks up,
I'm still cool.

Hey, it's me.

You're up in the air early.

I couldn't sleep.

Might as well
make myself useful.

I've set up a pilot interview

for this morning.

I didn't mean
to chain you to the cockpit.

Ah, it's okay.

I'm happy to be up here.

Where are you now?

I'm about an hour
into the sked run,

over Barrel Lake.

Barrel Lake...
Didn't we go there

one summer when we were kids?

Yeah.

I have cousins in Deti Creek,
just below the dam.

I might have to bail out
and go for a dip.

Copy that.

I don't know when
I'll be back in the office!

No point
in me sitting in a chair

when the problems are out here.

I know we've had cracks before,

but they've been
above the waterline!

Dammit. It's worse!

A week ago,
this was just a trickle.

There's a whole lot of people
down in the valley

who are gonna meet their maker
if this thing lets go.

Arctic Air 03x02
High Water
Originally Aired January 14, 2014

So he doesn't even
show up for the interview.

I give him a call.

Turns out he got
hired by Bruce Ward

to drive a truck.

Ah! Here it is.

Well, Bruce Ward pays more.

He's a thug.

Pilots should be
willing to fly for free,

because...

the profession of flying

is like, uh, painting,

or making the perfect vodka.

It's art!

And notable for

its gender-blind
promotion of capable women,

such as our boss.

Vodka's art?

Astrid, you just had
your appendix out.

Till the doctor gives the okay,
you're grounded.

I've been mauled
by grizzly bears

that have more finesse
than you do.

She is different
since she came back.

More focused.
Decisive.

And I don't like it!

I don't know what
time zone you're livin' in,

but in this one,
8:00 A.M. was two hours ago.

Then tell Loreen not
to keep me up all night

telling me what
a screw-up I am.

Well, alternatively,

have you tried not screwing up?

I'm an apprentice.
I don't get paid for that.

Well, is she still upset

that you're studying
for your pilot's licence?

Well, before I graduated,

the guidance counsellor
told her

I'd make a good nurse.

Well, we do need more nurses.

I'll buy you some white shoes.

Ha-ha. You wanna
hit the books at lunchtime?

Absolutely.

Yes. Yes, I heard you.

I...

He won't be back
until this afternoon.

No! You can't call him.

You can talk to his partner,
Krista Ivarson.

His partner.

Hello?

What was that about?

Some guy named Harvey Degroot.

Works for Hydro.
Sounded upset.

Why? Did Bobby not
pay his electric bill?

Said he was up
at Barrel Lake Dam.

What'd he want to
talk to Bobby about?

Wouldn't say.

Okay, I'll get Bobby
on the sat phone.

Evacuation?

That's what I'm thinking.

You'll need a bunch of planes.

How did this problem
come up so quickly?

The dam's been
out of commission

since the '50s.

We got by for years,
just letting it rot,

but nowadays, water's coming in
too much and too fast.

How bad is it?

The crack's grown by two feet

in the last week.

If it passes
a load-bearing threshold,

the whole thing
could just give way.

Wait. I have family here.

What's Hydro doing about this?

Sending some young engineer
down here

to see if we can
make the repair.

Why don't you just
tell the people to drive out?

Well, that's
the problem. You see?

This is the only road,
and people can't drive out,

because the damn thing
is blocked!

That's my cousin's house.

Why do you think I called you?

Any airline can fly people out.

I need you to take care
of this situation,

or nobody will leave.

Deanna.

You'll be glad to know

your name comes up
as the brother

of the biggest pain in the ass

in the Northwest Territories.

I'll talk to her.

You do that.

I gotta head
back to the airport

and meet this young pinhead.

We're dumping water
as fast as we can,

but to be safe,
we need to get this road clear

and get these people
the hell out of here!

Uncle Bobby?

Hailey?
What are you doing here?

I worked it out with

my environmental studies prof
to make the party

- an independent study.
- "The party?"

Yeah, we've been up here
for about a week or so.

It's kind of like
a block party.

In the middle of the road.

We want to make sure
nobody misses it.

And what kind of block party

gets political?

Well...

A little offshoot
might be a blockade

to stop the test wells.

Since when

is anybody drilling
test wells around here?

Oh, come on, Bobby.

You didn't just happen
to "stop by" Deti Creek.

You know that there's
natural gas deposits out here.

I'm here because of the dam.

What?

Barrel Lake Dam has a crack.

A crack?

And you've seen it?

Well, the guy I was
with in the truck,

he works for Hydro.

Hydro? Yeah,
and they're owned

by the government.
Hello?

This is just another trick
to break up the blockade.

A trick?

Deanna, if that dam breaks,

people around here
are gonna die.

This isn't about
the dam, Bobby.

This is about money.

You know I support you

when I think you're right,

but this time, you're wrong.

Just tell me who to talk to,
so we can move this truck.

Bruce Ward
is up there?

The cell reception
was terrible,

but the disgust
came through loud and clear.

Okay. Well...

Possible evacuation.

What can we throw at this?

We've got six planes
on northern runs.

We're still short two pilots

for the deliveries we were
supposed to make yesterday.

Agh!

Can somebody please
clear a path in there?

The good news is,

the pistons
in the Beaver are shot,

so, really, we're only
short one pilot.

Okay, well, I need
to fly up there.

Oh, that's a great idea.

Then we'd be short one pilot
and one C.E.O.

Bobby needs air support.

Okay, in case
you missed the point

of the last 36 years,

Mel didn't run Arctic Air
from a cockpit.

We need you on the ground.

Hey! That's... glassware.

How about Astrid?

What about Astrid?

You could put her
back in the air.

- She's grounded.
- It's not like

she's gonna pop her stitches
wrestling with the wheel.

Okay, why the sudden concern for
somebody besides yourself?

I'm just being supportive
of a fellow woman.

Is that not okay?

You're all feminist
and everything.

How much did she pay you?

I'm guessing

about 20 bucks.

Hey!

What are you doing here?
Did you miss your flight?

I heard you got
a situation developing.

Oh. With complications.

We're gonna have to
get some people out.

How many?

200, maybe 250?

How many planes have you got?

Including the one
Bobby took up there?

That would be none.
We're leasing that one.

All right, what can I do?

If I'm gonna stick around,
I want to help.

You're going to stick around?

Yeah. I was thinking about it.

Okay.

Find me a topo map
of Deti Creek.

All right, I'm on it.

Oh...

So exactly when did you
grow a social conscience?

Since your sister
and I started talking.

She knew she'd need
some muscle for this,

so she came to me.

I mean, do you
really think he cares

about the issues?

I care for my people.

That's why I'm here.

You're not buying
this, are you?

Well, the thing is,
when trying to save the land,

everyone says they care,
but nobody shows up.

Bruce showed up.

Who's that?

How long's it been
since you've been here?

Bobby?

Yeah?

I can't believe it.

Hailey was showing me
pictures of you on her phone.

It's me. Ryan.

No way!

Man! I haven't seen you
since you were in diapers.

Where's your mom and dad?

I got to talk to them.

Well, they moved
up to Fort Mac,

like three years ago.
You didn't hear?

It's just me and grandma now.

Auntie Belle is here?

Good. People will
listen to her.

- About what?
- Barrel Lake Dam is cracking.

We've got to get
everyone out of here.

Oh, wow.

What?

The thing is, she's the one
who asked Deanna

to set up the blockade.

So...

how is life at the top
of the food chain?

There's always
a bigger shark. Look.

I'm gonna do an evacuation.

How soon can you get
the Beaver ready?

Well, I could gnaw
a new set of pistons

out of wood with my teeth,

but other than that,
we're waiting for parts.

Ugh! Pfft.

Which are coming when?

When we have a plane
available to fly them in.

Look, it's, uh...

None of my business,

but if you're gonna
play authority figure,

you might want to confine

your public displays
of affection

to Mel's office.

Uh, okay.
That is my office now.

And...

He who takes his kilt off

to snog his wife
at the Christmas party

shouldn't throw stones.

Ah, like father, like daughter.

Okay, what's that
supposed to mean?

Well, Mel tried to split
that difference, too.

Married a free spirit,

brought her to Yellowknife...

Ahh. But like I said,

none of my business.

You know...

why don't you start
gnawing some pistons?

Hello? Bobby!

Hey, sorry
I didn't call earlier.

I just got to a landline.

Don't worry about it.
What are the logistics?

Ryan says there's about
500 people in town right now.

Oh... okay.

I know, it's gonna cost.

I'll deal with it.
Uh, airstrip?

About a mile away,
belongs to Hydro.

Big enough to land the DC-3.

What's the Bruce Ward
situation?

Ah, he's just a guy.
I can take 'im.

Spoken like a real caveman.

Look, no one's controlling
the airspace up here.

You're gonna have to set
something up at your end.

Got it.
Anything else?

Yeah. I'm gonna
have to call you later.

Your friends?

I spread the word.

Bruce?

We need to talk.

Some people are asking
about the dam.

Maybe we should talk to Hydro.

Wise up, kid.

There's a bigger game
happening here,

and it's all about

who's gonna get the money
from the gas deposits.

The dam has nothing to do
with the test wells.

Come on. It's a big lie.

Dearman's paying off
some bureaucrat

to force these people
to leave their homes.

Dearman?

He's got a new company.

Dearman Resources.
You didn't know?

Yeah. Bobby and, uh,
Ronnie Dearman are old pals.

Dearman is not my friend.

Yeah? Maybe.

It just makes sense, Bobby.

This is something
that Dearman would do.

You know that very time
the government relocates us,

they end up with our land.

If we leave, how do we know
we'll be allowed to come back?

Guys, there's
no conspiracy here!

Dearman's got all
the money on his side.

We need
all the friends we can get.

Deanna, I know these guys,
and it could get violent.

You know, I have some friends

on the local road crew.

Maybe I can get them to blow

a few potholes in the road,
keep Dearman out permanently.

Are you really trying
to impress my sister

by showing how much
damage you can do?

Back off, Martin.

Hey, hey.

You go talk to him
about the dam.

I'm gonna talk to these guys.

I thought you were gonna
get this thing cleared out?

Did you get another
opinion about the dam?

Young fella nearly
popped a blood vessel

when he saw the crack.

Turns out the old man knows
what he's talking about.

Hydro's going public.

We've got to evacuate
in case it lets go.

How much time do we got?

Now would be good.

Yesterday would be better.

Ryan.

_

_

They're trying to protect

everyone's homes by
letting water out of the dam,

but we can't take a chance.

I have friends
from all over the place

writing me on Facebook
about the flooding,

so I think Uncle Bobby's

telling the truth
about the dam.

It's all over Twitter, too.

Hailey,
just keep it simple.

Auntie Belle,

if you stay here,
your life is in danger.

All these people are in danger.

You know, they respect you.

If you say go, they'll go.

_

Do you think
she'll look at the dam?

She won't go anywhere
she can't walk to.

Then I'm just gonna

have to find another
way to convince her.

Yeah. What? Why?

All right. Uh, bye.

What's up?

Bobby wants Dev and Blake
to bring up Ronnie Dearman.

When is bringing
Dearman into anything

ever a good idea?

I guess when
you have no other choice.

When did you get in?

Oh, about 20 minutes ago.

I love what you've done
to the place.

So we're doing an evacuation

up at Deti Creek?

If Bobby
can clear the road.

We can borrow some pilots
from Copper Wing,

and we have to call Hydro about
who's gonna pay for all this.

Sorry. What are you doing here?

I thought you vowed
never to touch the ground again

after you got
your licence reinstated.

I'm... just checking in
to see how things are going.

Well, great.
Things are great.

Now, did you give me
this horse or not?

Meaning... I should
let go of the reins?

Ahh! One of the many things
I love about you

is your ability
to take a subtle hint.

Well, I'll, uh,
leave you to it.

I'm getting used
to the death masks,

but who's this supposed to be?

Ratih.

"Goddess of Lust."

Hmph.

What was all that about?

Oh, don't take it personally.

He doesn't like
any of my boyfriends at first.

Oh, and later he warms up?

No.

I've gotta sort some stuff out.

Look... okay.

This is probably outside
your area of expertise,

but is there any chance
you could find a way

to Jerry-rig the Beaver?

- Okay.
- Really?

Mwah!

Jerry-rig the Beaver...

Hey.

Hey.
Where's Dearman?

He's been trying to sell us
on his fracking deal

the whole way up here.

He's planning on
fracking the gas deposits?

Yeah, he says
this whole thing about people

lighting their tap-water on fire
is urban legend.

I suppose it could be

the type of too-good-to-be-true
opportunity

that actually could be true,

and not a scam at all.

What's the deal, Dearman?

You don't mess
with small investors.

Hey, Bobby. Thanks for
the free ride up to Deti Creek.

Does this mean you finally
decided to bury the hatchet?

That's not an ethnic slur,
now, is it?

I need you to solve
a problem up here.

Yeah, I know
about the blockade.

You find a way to talk
some sense into your sister

and the other restless natives?

I believe
that is an ethnic slur.

The dam is gonna bust.

I need you
to convince the people

that you're not lying about it

to screw them over.

That is a fantastic idea.

Is it too late to use that?

After you.

I'm telling you, fellas,

you need to buy in now
before the gas starts flowin'

and I up the minimum investment.

Sorry. All my money's
tied up in the yacht.

I've been in that movie.

So is he planning
to stick around?

Like, what was he doing in Bali?
And what kind of name is "Tag"?

Mel, I work for Krista now.

Did you not get that memo?
Because you wrote it.

She's still in charge.

I'm just doing my due diligence
as a father.

And I'm trying to figure out
which boxes of moose meat

are gonna go bad if we divert
all our planes to Deti Creek.

I know you guys talk...

Look, if you have some
lingering desire to stick

your nose in the business
of the younger generation,

how about helping me
with Caitlin?

Caitlin?

Yes. I'm trying to get her
to go to University,

we end up arguing
over body piercings.

I'm not sure I can help.

You raised a daughter.

Yeah, and it almost killed me.

Right. You keep nosing
around in her business,

she might take
another crack at it.

Off our land!
Off our land! Off our land!

Off our land!
Off our land!

Off our land! Off our land!
Off our land! Off our land!

Hey!

Hey! Stop!

Back up! That is enough!
Stop!

Calm down!

Back up!

Stay there.

You called the cops?

Do you want this
to get violent?

It wasn't me.

Hydro must have called them.

Well, well, well...

If it isn't the mad bomber
of Yellowknife.

Well, this seems
to be a family affair.

If you'll excuse me,

I'm gonna check out the buffet.

Off our land! Off our land!

I can't believe
you brought him here.

How else am I supposed
to convince people to go?

If this thing turns ugly,

everybody's gonna get into it,

and you'll never
get anyone to leave!

Off our land!
Off our land!

- Off our land! Off our land!
- Please!

Howdy, folks. Ronnie Dearman.

Hey. I remember you
from my powerpoint presentation.

Nice blouse.

Gentlemen.

How's it going, Bruce?

Didn't realize you're into
the whole activism thing,

defending the dignity
of your people.

That's really heart-warming.

Or do you just think
Bobby's sister is hot?

You know why
I like you, Dearman?

Because we're both strategists.

- Really?
- Sure.

You paid some people off
to lie about the dam,

and I got my strategy too.

And what, pray tell, is that?

Well, I think there's
some opportunity here.

And once you get
that gas development going,

you're gonna need
some trucking.

So if I give you
the trucking contract,

you can get these people
out of the road?

I'm impressed.

Man, did you think that up
all by yourself?

You're not a strategist, Bruce.

You're an idiot.

That dam really is gonna burst,

and drowning
isn't in my business plan.

Next time you want a contract,
pick up the phone and ask me.

Man, you've pulled
a stunt so stupid,

you actually made
Bobby Martin right.

Off our land!
Off our land!

This is urgent, guys!
We have to get out of here!

Off our land!
Off our land!

Okay, everybody.

Can I have your attention?

Now you're a rich man.

Now, as you can see,

I have put myself
at considerable risk

by walking into
a pretty hostile crowd.

Some of you might be
wondering why I'd do that.

Greed?

Well, now that's a good answer,

but it would take
more than that

for me to put myself
in the way of a flood.

No, the truth is,

I am doing it to save
the good people of Deti Creek.

And it is my hope,

that when you finally return
safely to your homes,

we can make a fresh start

and actually begin to discuss

how we can bring
jobs and prosperity

to your community

in an environmentally
responsible way.

Now, if you're wondering
who to believe,

I'll tell you right now

that drives-with-a-fist
over there,

he ain't doing this
to "Fight The Man."

He is using all of you
to get my business.

Now, I'm gonna get
the hell out of here

before this dam breaks,

and I suggest you all
do the same.

Let's go.

Does it hurt?

I've suffered much worse
injuries from biathlons.

This is nothing.

But it is keeping me
from having sex,

which doesn't make it
any easier

listening to you
and Krista go at it.

Well, we'll try
to keep it down.

Her walls are very thin.

Earplugs might help with that.

And I should be
helping with this evacuation.

I'm sure everyone knows
you want to help.

Mostly, I hate it when
Dev gets to fly and I don't.

What are you looking for?

I didn't want to ask Krista.

You wouldn't happen
to know anything about a...

a broken Beaver, would you?

Yes, the blockade's down.

We've already sent up
three planes.

We're working on more.

No, we haven't heard back
from emergency management,

but can't Hydro pay us directly?

Look, we're not gonna wait
for a purchase order

to save these people's lives,

but we haven't got the cash flow
to cover an operation like this,

so find the money
and call me back.

Does Tag like it
when you talk hard-ass?

'Cause it's kinda sexy.

Our connection
is purely spiritual.

Uh-huh.

Any luck with Twin Lakes?

My cousin said
they can loan us two Skyhawks.

Skyhawks? No!

We need to get the kids
and the elders out,

and that's just a start.

We can't do that
in four-seaters.

You want me to tell them no?

No. Take 'em.

And see if you can raise them
a King Air.

'Kay.

Four-niner-three,

be advised
Copper Wing Twin Otter enroute

heading two-five-zero
at four-point-five.

Got it. Thanks, Mel.

How's it going?

Not easy being the control tower
from 400 clicks away.

I got a few more planes.
Do you mind if I fly up?

Oh, I'll muddle through somehow.

Sorry I snapped at you.

I was deeply wounded.

But stay out of my office.

I won't try to take over again
while you're gone.

And?

What?

Nothing.

Do you like him?

No.

Hold on, everyone!

We don't have room
to bring all of your stuff.

Just enough
for a couple of days.

Just put it towards the back.

You used to give me that look

when I burped
at the dinner table.

They're doing
the best they can.

Come on.

That's Krista.
I gotta go fill her in.

There are people missing.

From town.
They're out on the land.

How many?

We don't know yet,
but now other people

have gone to look for them.

How long have we got?

Not long enough.

We can't have

half the town out
searching for the other half.

Can't leave people
out in the bush.

That dam breaks,
there's gonna be a flood.

Just get me a head-count,
all right?

And make sure
the houses are cleared.

Hailey.

I'll be back soon.

_

_

This is the bed
I shared with my husband.

Where my children were born.

My grandfather set down
roots on this land,

then they built the school.

And the town grew around it.

_

The dam's filling up faster
than we can dump water.

If those bureaucrats...

Harvey, even if
we can find everybody,

some people are not
gonna want to leave.

Come on, isn't there something
we can do to buy some more time?

I got one idea...

but it's a long shot.

Are they out of
their friggin' minds?

Wait, you don't actually
have to build the bomb.

Bobby said they can
take care of all that.

I have to come up with a rig

that'll turn
a DC-3 into a bomber?

The engineer thinks

that there's an old earthen dam

at the far end of the lake...

And if they can
blow a hole in it,

they can relieve the pressure
on the main Hydro dam.

Yes, but there's
no roads up there.

They have to do it
from the air.

Yeah, well, forget it.
It's impossible.

I'll tell them you said no.

I said it can't be done!

Okay.

Don't know
how you live with that woman.

Try talking her
into a nipple ring.

Maybe I can help you
figure something out.

Oh, I really appreciate that,

but I think it might require
a little more expertise

than hookin' up
with the boss's daughter.

He knows some stuff.

Darlin', you've been
at this job for six weeks.

You don't know a poppet valve

from a rocker boss.

Don't start with that crap.

What, you two think
you can find me a way

to build a bomber?
Go for it.

So it's gotta be
a side of the lake

that borders
on unoccupied land.

Unoccupied by humans, maybe.

Better hope
the badgers can swim.

Something wrong?

I just don't think
this is gonna work.

Okay. 'Cause
you're in a mood.

Yeah, it's...

You know, we've been
in a cockpit a million times.

Yeah, and now
it's uncomfortable, I get it.

Look, I'm sorry...

I'm sorry

about the way things
played out with Tag.

You could've told me
that he was coming,

more than a minute
before he walked in the door!

I wanted to, but...

But you thought I was
still in love with you.

There.

What do you think?

Maybe.

Yeah.

Now, where do we find a bomb?

And-and then,

even if I can find a way
to rig a bomb-holder,

we're still have to
find someone good enough

and crazy enough
to fly the bombing run!

If you're referring to me,

yes, I'll do it,
but I can't do it

unless you quit complaining

and build the thing!

We did the research
you asked for.

I think we found something.

There's this website
about the Royal Air Force...

The Dambusters Raid?

May, 1943.

- You've heard of it?
- Most amazing piece...

of precision flying
in the 20th century.

Yeah, they blew up a couple of
dams in the Ruhr Valley.

Didn't stop the Nazis, but
slowed 'em down for a while.

There's old footage
of the tests.

- Ah, there it is!
- Yeah, that's it.

They built the bombs
inside those barrels.

Then they had to spin
the barrel to make 'em skip.

Actually, it was the speed
of the planes made them skip.

The bottom-spin
was for the Magnus effect.

The what?

The rotation of the barrel

caused it to hug the dam
on the way down,

allowing it to reach
the base of the dam

before the hydrostatic pistol
set it off.

He majored
in mechanical engineering.

Well, before I dropped out.

If you guys knew about this,

why didn't you say something?

Well, they had two years
to practice this.

There's no way
he could fly like that.

There's no way
he could build it.

Well, I've got the specs.

So, Cece,
if you'll give me a hand,

I think I can rig something.

Well, get your asses
in gear, kids.

We have work to do.

This is not my problem.

You have friends

who could blow potholes
in the roads.

That means they have explosives,

am I right?

Sure. I work this miracle,

and you end up
looking like the hero.

This whole community

is in danger and you're worried
about who takes the credit?

There's still some people

refusing to go
without their stuff.

You've got the truck.

Will you take some loads
to higher ground?

Tag?

Hi, babe.

What are you doing here?

Making the best modification
to a DC-3

since turboprops and wet bars.
Eh?

I'm just trying to help out.

Well, thanks.

This is great.

Thanks.

Yeah, theoretically,
this little electric motor

should give us enough
rotation in the barrel

once we get it loaded.

Ready to blow some stuff up?

I can't believe Ward
actually came through.

Well, he had to redeem himself

to get out of Deti Creek
in one piece.

Tag and Cece have
just about got things ready.

Tag?

The bomb rig was his idea.

That makes it harder
not to like him.

I'm working on it.

As soon as the bomb's ready,

we're gonna help
with the evacuation.

You okay taking right seat?

Not a problem.

No chance this thing
will blow up the plane, right?

It's a depth charge.

It won't blow up
until it sinks.

That's assuming
it doesn't blow up

while we're building it.

We're gonna need airspeed

to pull up
after we unload this thing.

What's our altitude?

- 1,200 feet.
- Good.

I'm holding 130 knots.

Tag figured 145
to get the bomb to skip.

I think the barrel might be
too heavy for that motor.

RPMs are down to 910 from 1,000,
and dropping.

If it goes below 700,
we're hooped.

So much for
our engineering genius.

Hey! He did
his part.

You do yours.

If this doesn't work,

what are the chances of getting
those people out in time?

You really want to
go down this road?

What's that?

Search and rescue.

Well, the north needs it
and I can do it.

I think. Am I crazy?

I think it's a fit.

You're a save-the-world-type.

Thanks.

Hey.

I'm not sure
where your heart is right now,

and I don't even know
if you know, but...

Thanks for this.

We should be

about a hundred feet
over the water now.

I'll level out.

RPMs on the bomb?

780.

- Still dropping?
- Yes.

It looks like this is our shot.

I'll grab the next flight.

Okay.

I think that's it.

You're sure?

Not gonna get any surer.

- RPMs?
- 720 and holding.

Looks like the kid's rig works!

Stand by.

We just need to wait
until the planes get back.

There will be room
for everybody.

What are the chances
the bomb will blow

when it hits the water?

Zero. Theoretically.

Pull it!

Nothing!

Bomb didn't break through.

Whoa! Ho-ho-ho!

He nailed it!

Yes!

Have I still got it?

Yeah! And I hope they
never find a cure for it!

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

It worked!
The water's going down!

Yes!

reminds me of Bali.

Sitting out at night,

drinking rum,

waiting up for your mom.

What did you think about her?

She's pretty wild.

I mean, the guy
she had an affair with

was younger than me.

Yeah.

That was kind of messed up.

Nah. She's great.

My mom would never
go to Bali with me.

You guys do that a lot?

Uh... no.

No, we've never
done that before.

And now...

What?

Uh...

She died.

When?

About a week after I left Bali.

I knew she was sick, but...

we were emailing.
Why didn't you tell me?

It's... it's okay.

I just... I just wish
I'd been with you.

Really?

Well, unless you want

I wish you could come.

I can't take two weeks.

I know.

I could meet you.

For the last few days.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Headlong into a violent storm.

More power.

This is all she's got!

We're not going

A desperate

life-threatening search.

I can't see a thing.

But this must be where

her plane went down.
