Arctic Air (2012–…): Season 3, Episode 3 - The Fling - full transcript

Previously on Arctic Air...

If I'm going to stick around,
full partners.

You want my company,
it's yours.

The two of you,

figure out a way
to run it between you.

I met somebody
while I was in Bali.

Everybody, this is Tag.

You could have
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.



Come on...

More power, Krista, punch it!

This is all she's got!

We're not going
to clear those trees.

Everything's socked in.

I can't see a thing,

but this must be
where her plane went down.

Bobby, listen to me.

Fly east.

Get out of it now.

You can't help Krista
by getting yourself killed.

Bobby, do you copy?

Arctic Air 03x03
The Fling
Originally Aired on January 21, 2014

I'll be back tomorrow.



I'm not saying
cancel your trip,

just postpone it.

Already did.
Twice.

Look, we've got a meeting
with a paramedic

set up for Monday morning,
for search and rescue.

Can you sit in?

I'm flying the Hydro guys
to Port Radium.

Make sure Blake knows.

Don't forget
to call Deke Smithers.

Tell him we still want
his Bell 412 for parts.

How are we going
to pay for that?

Maybe I'll have a bake sale
when I get back.

Did you put Blake and Dev
on the Inuvik run today?

Yeah, but it would
make me feel a lot better

if it was you
shaking Ted's hand.

All he wants

is his mining equipment
to show up on time.

They can handle it.

You can't put Astrid
on Hay River.

Doctor cleared her.

Why didn't I know about that?

Because you don't check
your email.

I'm too busy taking orders.

Okay...

Time to go.

Have you gone through
all the rampie resumes?

I want to set up interviews
for Thursday and Friday.

Krista, we survived
for three months without you.

We can get through
the next 24 hours.

Yes, of course, I just...

Look, you've been
working flat out.

You deserve
a night of wild sex.

It's weird.

He's only been out there
for two weeks,

but I miss him like...

more than I should.

Of course you do.
You're in love with him.

I think I am.

Go.

No guilt.

How many times
have you had his back,

on much shorter notice?

You can never
leave this company,

you know that, right?

Have fun.

Where are you going?

You know where I'm going, Mel.

To run off with your boyfriend

while the company
goes down the crapper.

Yeah. That's the plan.

Who's going to check out

that sweetheart of a deal
I lined up?

Tag and I are going to
check out the Cessna

on our way back tomorrow.

Oh, so we run every aircraft
by Tag now,

do we?

I'm checking out the plane.

But you know he went to M.I.T.

And dropped out.

Don't pretend

this is some great addition
to the fleet.

It's a single-engine, two-seater
the company won't miss

when you decide to take off

and go fishing.

Call me from the air,
let me listen to her.

I don't have to do this.
You and Cece could go.

We booked this trip months ago.

Took Cece some doing
to convince Marie

she'd love being alone
with seven kids for a week.

And I wouldn't dream

of making you
change your plans.

Safe flight.

Thanks, dad.

Room for...

One more?

Sure.

Sorry. I thought you were...

I was looking for Tag.

You must be Krista.

I'm Hanna.

Where's Tag?

He left yesterday.

Yeah, a couple of the guys
from the kayaking company

came by to check
on us yesterday.

They were flying
up to Fort Simpson

to catch a band,

and Tag decided to go with them.

Of course, right?

Uh, is he coming back?

I don't know.

He's an amazing guy.

Yeah.

He's been everywhere.

We started calling him
"The Travel Gnome."

Do you know where he's staying?

I think one of the guys said
he had a friend there.

They were going
to crash at her place.

Yeah, it was nice

to meet you.

Yeah.

Oh, if you find him,

tell him there's still time
to change his mind.

I want him to come
to the Antarctic with me.

Research trip.

We could really use
an experienced diver.

I'm surprised
he turned you down.

Yeah, he said he wasn't done
seeing the north yet.

I'm guessing he meant you.

You're lucky.

Your timing is impeccable.

Thanks for your business.

Hope to see you again soon.

I was looking for our cargo
so we can get out of here.

Well, where is it?

It's still at the site.
The truck broke down.

We will go home

and come back when it is here.

Yeah, no, I talked to Bobby.

He said we wait.

Overnight?

Yeah.

No, no, no, no.

The doctor finally
cleared Astrid

for physical activity.

We were going to celebrate.

In the house where Krista
and Tag will not be.

Yeah, I know, it sucks.

I was supposed to
meet my girlfriend

at Bullocks tonight.

What girlfriend?

Exactly.

I was hoping to meet one.

Hello?

Hey, how are things going?

Was Ted happy?

Uh, yeah, um,
I already talked to Bobby.

Wait, are you calling me
from your kayak?

Uh, no, there's been
a change of plans.

I'm on my way to Fort Simpson
to check out a Cessna for Mel.

Is Tag with you?

No.

Oh.

I set up a meeting with
a paramedic for Monday morning.

Can you be there?

Yeah. Yeah, I'll be there.

So, what's going on?

With what?

You didn't call to ask
about meetings.

If you knew your girlfriend
was flying in,

would you take off
to see a band?

Depends on the band.

You haven't seen
your girlfriend in two weeks.

Uh, well, did he know for sure
you were coming in today?

I was supposed to
be there yesterday.

Right, right,
so he probably thought

you couldn't make it.

Right, well, he left a message
with two babes in bikinis, so...

Oh.

Krista, you still there?

I just feel like an idiot.

I thought this was more than...

an extended fling.

Uh... yeah.

I mean, if it helps,

we thought it was, too.

We?

Well, me.

Dev and Astrid, and...

Loreen.

You guys seemed

really...

real.

I shouldn't have called.

No, no, no, it's fine.
Any time.

I'll see you tonight.

Well, actually,
Dev and I are stuck...

Hello?

Jeez.

That was Krista.

Yeah.

She called you...
for advice about her boyfriend.

Yeah, I guess she wanted
a guy's opinion.

If Astrid crushed my heart
like Krista did to you,

and later sought
my romantic advice,

I think I would hang up

and compose a very terse email.

Which you would never send.

That is likely true.

It's been almost two years.

We just want each other
to be happy.

I do not know why
I always assume

the accommodations
will be nicer.

Well, we'll flip
for the bed later.

Let's grab something to eat.

I think we both know

who will end up
sleeping in the bathtub.

Perhaps if I drink enough,
it will seem more appealing.

Hey! You found me!

Uh, it would've been easier

if you'd left a number
with Hanna.

Yeah, I didn't know
where I'd end up crashing.

You knew I was coming
to meet you.

Yeah, yesterday.

When you didn't show,

I figured
you couldn't get away.

But this is a good surprise.

I bumped up the meeting
to go look at the Cessna.

I don't want to keep
the owner waiting.

So, when Krista was away,

Astrid and I spent
a good deal of time at home,

but with Krista there,
and now Tag,

Astrid and I
go to the movies a lot.

When is Tag ever there?

It seems like
he's always sailing,

or rock climbing, or something...

Oh, no, no, he is most
definitely living there.

Even when he is not
physically present,

Krista is skyping him,
phoning him,

sexting him...

Why are you doing this?

I promised Mel
I would check it out,

so I'm checking it out.

I'm not talking
about the plane.

She's been
a great little puddlejumper

for me and my wife.

My son learned to fly on her.

You got
the maintenance records?

My mechanic's bringing them.

He should be here by 4:00.

You want me to take a look?

Uh, you're not a mechanic.

We were expecting you tomorrow,

so when you called...

Can I take her up

for 20 minutes?

You'll be
in love with her in 10.

There.

Your Inuvik Ice Maiden
is coming this way.

This is the land
of the midnight sun.

The end of
the dempster highway.

Home to north America's
most northern greenhouse.

It is a lovely town
with so much to offer.

And you're missing
all the attractions

sitting in this hole.

I'm not missing anything.

Aren't you sweet.

If you weren't spending your day
drinking in a dump like this,

I might be interested
in knowing you.

I would've left an hour ago,
but then you walked in.

I'm Blake.

This is Dev.

Too clean for a rig pig.

Too rough for an executive.

Prospector?

We are pilots.

Where do you fly?

We travel all over the north.

You'd be a good friend to have.

What time do you get off?

Well, I guess
that'll be up to you.

Okay.

Do you have any idea
how hard it is for me

to get away?

And then you couldn't even
be bothered to wait for me?

I did wait for you.
For two weeks.

You knew I couldn't get away
until the end of your trip.

I'm not interested in being
one more thing on your list.

Do you want to be with me
or not?

I do...

When your schedule allows.

What am I supposed to
do, quit my job?

Of course not.

Why's it doing that?

Probably just a bad plug.

Fort Simpson radio,

this is Cessna 1-5-2,

Charlie-Oscar-Alpha-
Charlie-Lima.

Over.

Do you read?

We're Cessna 1-5-2,

Charlie-Lima, about 30 Miles
west of Fort Simpson.

Does anybody copy?

Nothing.

It was working
when we took off.

Do you want the sat phone?

Do you smell burning oil?

What? Is that
coming from the engine?

Yeah.

How far to the airport?

Too far.
We need to get down now.

Where?

That is the question.

The smoke's getting in here.

Plug it with
something. Now.

What was that?

The wind shear.

Tell me what to do.

Call in your karmic favours.

There.

Can you land that tight?

Try and relax.

I'm going to do my best
to keep us alive.

Great.

Are you okay?

Not a scratch.

You know how amazing you are?

Okay, get out.
Breathe some air.

Grab the rag.

I'm hoping the spark plug
was just shorted

by the leaking oil.

I wonder
what's causing the leak?

Probably something

any idiot would've caught
in a half-assed check.

Not me.

Yeah, well, we'd be too dead
to have this conversation

if it weren't for you.

Why don't we go somewhere?

Won't your boss mind?

I quit hours ago.

That's crazy.

I hate this place.

Take me out of here.

Well, no more backfiring.

Great.

So it'll be quiet till
the smoke and flames engulf us.

I did help you
rig a bomb on the DC3.

I'm sure between the two of us,
we can find an oil leak.

I'm going to hike up higher,
see if I can get a sat signal.

Bobby!

Hey, guys.

Whoa, right.

Sun never sets in July.

I had no idea it was so late.

Don't sweat it.

But you are
the third base umpire tonight.

Krista took off
to see her boyfriend,

and dumped everything on me.

Don't worry about it,
but we gotta go.

The game starts at 9:00.

Petra, I'm sorry it's so crazy.

You don't have to come.

Are you kidding?

I'm not going to
miss your game.

Bobby!

Yeah?

Shane McClory called.

Who?

The guy selling the Cessna.

He said Krista stole his plane.

He's threatening
to call the cops.

Did you call Krista?

Yeah, no answer on the radio

or the sat phone.

Where was her test flight?

Out of Fort Simpson.

She told Shane
she'd be 20 minutes.

That was six hours ago.

And this loser waited
till now to call?

Sorry, guys,

I gotta deal with this.

Mom, it's fine.
Let's just go.

Hey, I'm sorry.

I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

Yeah.

Good luck.

Come on.

We don't wanna be late.

Oh! Oh...

Dev.

Oh, I'm sorry!

I put the sign out.

I-I-I am so sorry.

I am going now.

Perhaps there is another bathtub
I can sleep in.

Well, that was...

I've already forgotten.

Me too.

Any luck?

I'll try over there
in the morning.

Relax.

You haven't stopped a second

since we landed.

We're gonna get
eaten alive out here.

There's nothing more
we can do tonight.

Look around you.

People pay thousands

to experience
wilderness like this.

We have no food,
water, first aid...

Come on...

No radio, no sat signal,
no flares, no gun.

Do I need to go on?

Shane's missing his plane,

people are going to
come looking for us.

Where do they even start?

We didn't file a flight plan.

The E.L.T. is missing.

We're not that far
from Fort Simpson.

30 Miles.

That's a search radius
of 1800 square Miles,

of wilderness.

We're about as easy to spot

as fleas on bison
from 6,000 feet.

Bear.

Okay, bear, bison, whatever.
It's impossible.

Okay, don't move.

Okay, now, slowly back up.

Keep watching him,

but don't look him in the eye.

Slowly.

Slowly...

Go.

Go away..

Get out of here, go!

Shh. Just...

Just slowly.

Easy...

Easy...

Easy.

Go. Inside, now!

Well, you said
you wanted to see a bear.

Yeah, from a kayak,

with a fast-moving current
between us.

Let's hope
this tin can is enough.

He's probably just looking
to fatten up for the winter,

right?

Did I mention
we don't have a gun?

Isabella?

Good morning.

Bear finally left around dawn.

Maybe he went to get
his can opener.

What are you doing?

I think
the rocker cover's loose.

It's not something
anybody would catch

in a pre-flight.

If oil leaked in,
hit the exhaust...

Smoke and flames.

Did you learn that at M.I.T.

before you dropped out?

No, when I was 13,
my dad bought a Trans-Am.

Father and son bonding,

right?

Then he got promoted,
started working 24/7,

and I hardly saw him
until I left for college.

But I did learn
a couple of things

about old engines.

Well, a Cessna's
not a Trans-Am,

and now our engine's in pieces,

so I guess there goes any hope
of us flying out of here.

You thought
that it was hopeless

before I pulled it apart.

You were going to hike
to go find a sat signal.

That was before
the bear showed up.

I'm not going to hike
anywhere now without a gun.

If it comes back,
this is all we've got.

All right, well then

I'll make sure
I leave the doors on.

If you had any concept
of how totally screwed we are...

Thanks, Clive.

Keep me posted
if you hear anything.

Will do.

Okay, that's it.

We've talked to everyone

between here and Fort Simpson.

Based on the weather yesterday,

I'm guessing she would've
done the test flight

around here...

Pretty rugged terrain.

Yes. Old
single-engine plane.

If something went wrong...

odds are it didn't
turn out well.

Did you call search
and rescue again?

No change.

They can't deploy anything
until tomorrow...

Cancel the sked.

Send every pilot we've got.

I'm flying out there now.

Should we tell Mel?

Let me find her first.

The clouds are moving
in different directions.

Wind's coming in from the east.

Listen.

What?

Nothing.

There's no bird song.

There's a storm coming.

Hah!

Yes! I was right. Look.

See the oil here?

Leaking right on to the exhaust.

Well, great,

so you've confirmed
what we already know,

we're not getting out of here.

No, I think I can fix it.

With an army knife?

Yeah, so far, so good.

If oil leaks on the engine
while we're flying,

this whole thing could explode.

So what, we just
sit here and do nothing?

You made it clear
nobody's ever going to find us.

I said it was unlikely.

We can either try
to get out of here,

or starve to death.

Is that about right?

If we keep working
at cross purposes,

we are screwed.

I can do this,
but I need your help.

If that storm hits,
there's no taking off.

You know what,
forget about the storm,

I'm not spending
one more night out here

with that bear.

He's probably coming back
and with friends.

Blake!

Blake!

Where's Blake?

I thought he was with you.

Are you all right?

My husband,
he came home last night.

Husband?

From the mine.

I wasn't expecting him
for another week.

Did Blake know that...

When I got home this morning,
Len asked me where I'd been.

I hope you concocted
a very convincing lie.

Everybody at the bar
saw us together.

As soon as
Len leaves the house,

he'll hear about it.

You have to take me with you.
Please.

I am sure you and Blake
had a good time,

but things are suddenly
becoming quite serious...

It's just a ride.

Just get me to Yellowknife

and I'll figure out
the rest from there.

Blake is the captain.

You will have to talk to him.

Look, I don't always
make great choices...

Running away is perhaps
further proof of that.

Len's temper is...

Let's just say

I'd rather have
a thousand kilometres between us

when he finds out.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for Isabella.

No.

No, you're not.

What the hell do you want

with my wife, pretty boy?

Your-your wife?

N-nothing.

I was just looking
for a friend.

Different Isabella.

There's only one.

And Griff here tells me
she left last night

with some pretty boy.

Look, I think there's been
a misunderstanding...

Now, she's crazy.
But you?

I should probably go...

You came to my town.

You banged my wife.

And now you think you're just
gonna walk outta my bar?

You're crazier than she is.

Last night was the first time
we didn't make love.

No food, no water,

bear threatening to
rip open the plane.

I can't imagine
what spoiled the mood.

Would've taken our minds
off some of that.

Maybe it was the fact

that when I came to meet you,

I met a half-clad Hanna instead.

All right, that's about
the third time

you've mentioned her.

What exactly
do you think happened?

Don't know, wasn't there.

But you working with
two of your exes,

that's no problem, right?

Bobby and I
are just good friends.

We never should've tried
to make it more.

And Blake?
He's your pal, too?

That was two years ago.

Yeah, but
it was serious, wasn't it?

We were engaged.

Engaged?

For, like, 12 hours.

And?

It didn't work out.

Let me take a wild guess here
and say...

you shut him out.

The bolts are stripped.

I can't re-attach it.

Go ahead, say it.

I wasted our time.

How many bolts do you think
this thing actually needs

to fly?

Dev! Let's go!

Dev!

Blake!

Blake, I have to tell you,

Isabella is married.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.

And her husband...

I met him, okay?
Look, we'll talk at 6,000 feet.

We gotta go!

We're heavy.

I've got the plane,

you've got
the instruments, okay?

Yes, I will be right there!

Dev, get up here!

Now!

Is that the husband?

Yeah.

How did he find you?

Uh, I went looking
for Isabella.

Why would you...

I liked her.
I wanted to say goodbye.

Look, can we just go?

Okay, tell me if the needles
leave the green.

Okay.

Okay...

The door!

What? Dev!

Hurry up!

No. No.

No, you can't.

You cannot...

Get outta my way!

You can't!

Get off. Get off.

Get off. Get off.

Get off...

My apologies.

I think we will both
regret this.

Hang on, Dev!

Taking off in a broken plane,
from a postage stamp of dirt,

headlong into a Gale.

You promised me
northern adventure.

Hell, when I make a promise...

You really deliver.

Here's two more.

I'm sorry.

For getting you stuck out here.

Don't be.

We're going to make it back.

And when we do,

I'll hit the road
with a good story.

These are too big.

Can you grab me
about four more bolts,

half this size?

If I take out any more bolts,

this whole thing's
gonna fall apart.

Find me four more,

and let's get the hell
outta here.

Hello.

Bobby, there's a massive storm
moving in from the east.

Any sign of it where you are?

I'm in it.

- Anything yet?
- No.

How many eyes?

Six planes looking now,

but they're all turning back
to wait out the storm.

I'll call you when I find her.

You sure you fixed it?

Yes. Are you sure
you can fly in this?

Yes.

Are we being brave or stupid?

Stupid would be
letting this moment pass.

We've got the chance.

We have to take it.

No, no!

Attacking the pilot
is a very bad idea!

Screwing my wife
was a bad idea!

Please sit down.

She's in there
with him now, isn't she?

They're just laughing
at big dumb Len!

I'm going to kill 'em both.

She's not here!

We left her behind

so the two of you
could work things out.

There's nothing to work out.

This might be one of
those not great choices

you mentioned.

No backfiring.
Do you smell anything?

Other than my own fear?

No burning oil
if that's what you mean.

It's not too late
to change your mind...

I'm not changing my mind.

Okay.

Come on...

More power, Krista, punch it!

This is all she's got.

We're not going to clear
those trees.

Everything is socked in.

I can't see a thing.

You need to get out of there.

They've upgraded the storm

to severe.

I'm going to drop down

for a better look.

Bobby, don't be stupid.

Bobby, do you copy?

Come on...

I get it, bang a pilot,
get a free flight outta town.

I didn't plan this, okay?
It just happened.

Oh, yeah, like, "Whoops,
you just slipped and landed...

You're such a pig!

I'm a pig?

Dev, you okay?

Don't worry about us.
You just fly.

I've been faithful to you.

Five years, not so much
as a lap dance.

Wow, what a sacrifice.

Tremendous willpower.

Did you think
I wasn't going to find out?

Perhaps
we should all sit down...

The whole town saw you
leave with the guy.

Well, maybe if
you were ever around,

I wouldn't have slept with him.

Oh, he's dead.

No, no, no, no, no.

Stay away from him.

Blake!

Come on.

Him over me?

Take another step.

Find out.

Let's not find out.

Leave Dev out of this!

He had nothing to do with it!

Blake.

Where are you?

We're just out of Inuvik,
heading south-southeast, but...

Change course, divert east.

Nasty system
over the MacKenzie Mountains.

Loreen!

We have psychos on board.

Okay, we've got to find
a way out of this,

'cause through's
not going to work.

Is it the storm,
or is the plane falling apart?

Here's where we find out
if we pulled too many bolts.

How far back to Fort Simpson?

20 minutes, straight
into the storm.

We can't risk it.

Are you trying for Yellowknife?

Yeah.

If we can just get to
the other side of this system.

Isn't that a lot farther?

With this headwind,
three hours.

On the bright side,

we might have
just enough fuel left.

What was that?

A panel on my side
right beside the wing.

Guess we needed that bolt.

You still want to try
for Yellowknife?

We're on the edge of the storm,
flying away from it.

If we're falling apart in this,

what's it going to do
if we fly right into it?

I talked you into this.

No. No, you didn't.

Sitting around waiting
for someone else to rescue me?

That is not in my DNA.

I'd say me neither,

except right now it feels like
you're rescuing me.

And I'm not complaining.

There's still time.

It's a long flight.

Bobby.

What happened?

The wind shear caught me.

I thought I was going down.

I didn't find them.

It's okay.

They called.

They're coming home.

Copy.

Coming home.

But when you're back,
all you do is drink and fight!

Yeah, so I don't have to
be alone with you!

This is a stressful situation.

I am sure
you do not mean that...

You don't have to
worry about that,

'cause I'm not coming back!

Get the hell out of my way...

I'm serious, Len,

I can't do this anymore!

Perhaps now is not
the best time.

Just stop. You're not going
to kill the pilot

while he's flying the plane.

You don't want us all dead.

She makes an excellent point.

Well, you're leaving me anyway,
so why the hell not?

No, Len!

Oh!

Don't move!

Give me that.

Okay.

Put your hands
together, like this...

And you, put that knife away.

Sit down and buckle up.

I'll throw you both out.

Don't you threaten my wife.

She tried to kill you.

Yeah.

But I still love her.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

I never thought I'd be
so happy to see Yellowknife.

I just hope the bolts
I took out of the landing gear

aren't going to be a problem.

Oh, so dark and twisted.

Don't go slagging my home town.

I've been thinking
about my next move.

Yeah, I'm sure you've had
your fill of the north.

Feeling pretty humbled by it.

You were right about Blake.

I did shut him out.

I'm sorry I freaked out.

I don't want you
to remember me like that.

Remember you?

When you leave,

I want you to remember us
like how we were in Bali.

Bali was great,

but it wasn't real life.

It was, for three months.

Being up here with you,
seeing you in your element,

I'm not ready to leave.

Yeah, you say that now,
wait till it's 30 below.

Krista, I'm serious.

I'd rather freeze my ass off
all winter

than be away from you.

Un-unless you don't want that...

I want.

Just try it, Shane.

We'll countersue
for criminal negligence.

If you want it back,
come and get it.

Bobby.

Thanks for coming, Lindsay.

Figure out
who I'm arresting yet?

The husband.

Or the wife.

Maybe both.

Take care.

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

There's my answer.

Thanks.

Don't move!

If my wife hadn't screwed you, I
might've lost her forever.

No. No, it's okay.

I'm not pressing charges.

These people very nearly
caused an emergency...

It's a misunderstanding.

It's resolved.

Well...

If you change your mind,

give me a call.

Uh...

We're home.

Well, thanks for
getting us down alive.

Again.

I'll see you inside.

Hey...

What do you think,
should we buy it?

You scared the hell out of me.

Yeah, well not exactly
the day off I had planned.

I'm serious, I can't lose you.

Well, that's just

'cause you don't want to
run this place all by yourself.

I was a jerk to you
before you left.

Well, I dumped a lot
on your plate.

I'm your partner.

That's what my plate's for.

Thanks.

This was a wake-up call.

I need you in my life.

Like you used to be.

Bobby...

I want my best friend back.

Me too.
