Arctic Air (2012–…): Season 3, Episode 8 - The Fugitive - full transcript

Previously on Arctic Air...

Everybody, this is Tag.

You're going to stick around?

Yeah, I was thinking about it.

I'm hoping if you go away,

maybe you'll find out

that you can't live without me.

She wasn't trying to
hurt your feelings.

Yeah, well, this
isn't junior high,

and some of us have
real work to do.

You told her about Tag?



Krista, calm down, okay?

It's a contract to fly a cop
around the communities.

You and mom...?

Looks like

we're going to try
to be together.

It's always good to
see you, Russell.

Not particularly.

Bobby Martin's a dead man.

Can you get us out
of this turbulence?

Doing my best.

I feel like a milkshake.

Maybe you need to
tighten your seat belt.

I thought you were the best.

I'm still waiting for
this hotshot pilot



that Krista told me about.

How about you give
the guy a break?

You've been on him
since we took off.

And can you loosen these?

They're killin' me.

Hey, you got off
easy, all right?

The cops in fort McPherson
wanted you muzzled and chained.

I'm real scary.

Self-defence obviously means
something different in Canada, eh?

Self-defence?

Is that what you call
stabbing your cell mate?

You weren't there, were you?

I know what happened.

Ancient history.

What?

It's the headwinds.

We burned more fuel
than I planned.

We're already behind schedule.

There's a strip at Raven's Bay.

You said there'd be gas here.

There usually is.

The U.S. marshals are
waiting for us in YK,

and he's got a transfer
flight to Edmonton at 9:00.

We're not going
anywhere without fuel.

How long is it going to be?

Why don't you take Greg
inside and stay warm?

I'll make some calls.

Let's go...

Don't move.

Find us some fuel and
get us out of here.

So how far away?

I can't go back.

I can't do hard time.
You don't...

You don't know what it's like.

Thanks, buddy, I owe you.

Fuel truck's on its way.

We should be wheels
up in a half hour.

I don't belong there...

- I think you'll fit right in.
- You don't know the whole story.

Sergeant Lauderhill, please.

Can you make up time in the air?

Some of it. Maybe.
Depends on the weather.

Sir, it's Officer Gallagher.

We're out here at
Raven's Bay airstrip.

Yes.

I realize that, sir,

but we hit headwinds, and...

Yes.

My pilot assures me

he'll make up for it in the air.

Hey, how's it going?

How is it that I get
500 emails a day,

and there is still mail to open?

I don't know how you do it,

but you're always on top of it.

You rock.

Thanks.

Hey, you look good.

Where are you going?

Taking Petra to dinner.

Connor's got a sleep-over.

Ooh, date night.

If I answer a work call
this time at dinner,

I'm going to be
single by dessert.

I'll cover you.

I'm not going anywhere.

And how are things with Tag?

Oh, you know, long-distance
relationship.

Well, this isn't much,

but it might cheer
you up a little.

We got it? We got it!

Yeah.

We're insured for
Search and Rescue!

I'm proud of you.

Hi!

Hi!

Wow, you look incredible.

Thank you.

Ready to go?

Not quite. Connor is still here.

We're waiting for his ride.

You two have fun.

You said the tanks were full.

But we're socked in.

Freezing fog.

We can't take off.

We can't stay here.

We could go into town,
but there's no motel,

and, uh...

I don't want to
ask my friends...

Why don't you guys

tie me up outside like a dog.

We cannot spend the
night in Raven's Bay.

Well, no pilot is
gonna fly in this.

Find us a way out of here.

I'm delivering that prisoner
to the marshals tonight.

I don't even know who
we're waiting for.

Who's the friend?

Jacob.

Comstock?

I thought they hated each other.

That was last year.

Wait, we're not having
Connor spend the night...

Phew.

Looking good, Petra.

Thank you, Russell.

We will be at the Frontier
Hotel if you need us.

Glad to hear he's not
cheaping out on you.

That's not a good idea...

Come here.

I don't like you either,

but they're friends now,

so shut up, be cool, hmm?

Just let it go.

Bobby...

We're going to miss
our reservation.

Have fun, buddy.

Be good.

See you tomorrow.

Bye. Thanks.

This grudge you have with
Russell and Kimbo...

We are not going to let our son

hang out with the Comstocks.

No, no, no, this is
your issue, Bobby.

The kids worked it out.

I think it's time that you
and Russell did, too.

Let's go to dinner.

The fuel truck came and
gassed up the beaver,

but we're socked in.

Is anyone flying
near Dyson River?

Uh, Dev and Astrid are
coming down from Paulatuk.

Why?

I just got off the radio. The
weather's clear in Dyson.

If I can get us there,

can they pick us up?

Astrid won't be happy.

"Priscilla's Revenge" is
playing at Bullocks tonight.

Krista, please.

If I have to spend another
hour with this woman...

I heard you had a
thing for Lindsay.

Not working out?

If you didn't want this
cop contract so bad,

I'd have left her in Inuvik.

Thank you for not doing that.

Um... how are you
getting to Dyson?

I've got a buddy here, Mickey.

If I can get ahold of him,
he might lend us his truck.

Okay, I'll deal with Astrid.

Okay, um, I'll...

they'll be there, I'll...
I gotta go!

Okay, uh...

Hey!

I thought you couldn't
call me till Wednesday.

I couldn't wait.

I just...

Ooh...

We've got another
bad connection.

Oh, yeah...

Satellite connection here.

Where are you?

El Chalten.

It's a little village
in Patagonia.

We're actually climbing
Fitz Roy tomorrow.

I'm so glad you called...

I wish you were coming with us.

It's going to be incredible.

I wanted to ask you... will you?

Uh, will I what?

Uh, Christmas.

Will you spend
Christmas with me?

Christmas...

Yeah, we can meet in Fiji.

We could get one of those
overwater bungalows

and, you know, disappear
inside for, like, a week.

Or three.

Oh, wow...

I would love to.

Oh, I hear a "but."

It's our busiest
time of the year.

Okay, um...

What about January?

We've been invited to
an air show in Texas.

I could probably get
away in February.

February...

and "probably."

I know.

That'll be six months since
we've seen each other.

I wish it was easier
for me to get away.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

About Christmas.

I wish I could meet you.

Don't worry about it.

I should go.

Connection's terrible,

and there's a line-up for
the computer here...

Well, call me when you get back.

Yeah.

I will.

Gotta go.

Hey, Mickey.

Thanks for helping us out, man.

I really appreciate it.

No problem.

Hey, Mickey's a local artist.
He's been up here for 15 years.

Thanks for lending
us your vehicle.

Let's go.

Sweet ride.

Thanks.

No.

What's the problem?

We are not transporting
a prisoner in this.

She runs good.

You're telling me this is
the only vehicle available?

Tires have tread.

If you want to get to
Yellowknife tonight,

this is our ride.

Our pilots are waiting
for us in Dyson River.

Fine.

What are you doing?

I have to search the vehicle.

Seriously?

For what?

What do you think?

Lindsay, you're not
going to find anything.

Right?

Come on, it's freezing cold.
Let's go.

Look, this is a waste of time.

We have a small window to
make it to Dyson River.

Once that storm rolls in,
we're not taking off.

For carving.

The wipers are icing. I
can't see a damned thing.

We should turn back.
This is getting bad.

Do you want me to drive?

Watch it! For heaven's
sake, be careful.

Slow down, man!

Oh, don't open that
container in the back.

What is it?

No idea.

It's been there three weeks.

Oh, no, I'm trying
something new.

If we stop cleaning
up after the rampies,

eventually they'll have
to grow up, right?

Or die of food poisoning.

How's Tag?

Uh, good.

Yeah, he's in Patagonia.

Hmm. You guys making plans?

He wants me to meet him
in Fiji for Christmas.

I want your life.

Well, I can't go.

You know how busy we are.

Are you out of your mind?

He invited you to Fiji.

I'd kill for a
relationship like that.

It's been four months

since we've been
in the same place.

Yeah, you're in constant
honeymoon phase.

You don't have to see him...

cut his toenails on the toilet.

Well, there is that.

But how could I
possibly get away?

You're the boss.

Fire yourself.

You can rehire yourself
when you get back.

Now call him,

tell him you're coming,

or I will do it for you.

Saved by the bell.

This is Krista.

Miss Ivarson,
Sergeant Lauderhill.

Have you heard from
Constable Gallagher?

Not since they left Raven's Bay.

We have a plane en route to
meet them in Dyson River.

So you have no idea if they
even made it to Dyson River.

I'm sure they're waiting
on the airstrip,

but the phone lines are down,

and cell service
in the area is...

I have two U.S. marshals

cooling their heels
in my office,

wondering where
their prisoner is.

They already missed
their 9:00 flight.

Well, I'd be happy to book them
a charter for tomorrow morning.

I need that prisoner here, now.

Call me as soon as
you hear from them.

You'll know as soon as I do.

Lindsay?

I'm all right.

Did you break anything?

I don't think so.

Hey, let me see.

It's not bad.

Greg, you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, my shoulder...

What, your right?

Yeah, it's...

No, it's popped, that's okay.

It's okay...

Uh, happens sometimes,
since I dislocated it.

I can get it back in,

I just need my left hand.

Can you unlock him so
I can have a look?

Cuffs stay on.

We can't leave him like
this, he's in pain.

He's faking it.

I can't get a signal.

Are there flares in
the emergency kit?

The emergency kit?

Tell me you didn't
leave it on the plane.

So we have nothing?

How 'bout some heat?

It's freezing back here.

Come on...

Yeah, it's probably the starter.

Come on...

I'm a mechanic. Let
me take a look.

Yeah. That's gonna happen.

He thinks you're a hard ass.

He thinks you took
me down too rough.

I know

it's nothing personal.

You just, you've
got a job to do.

I just, I couldn't, uh...

I couldn't handle

going back to jail.

Now you're all peace
and acceptance?

Hell, right now, I hope I
make it to a warm cell.

Does he have any clue as to
what he's doing out there?

No idea.

How far is it to Dyson River?

I'm guessing we're about
10 k or 15 k out.

Here.

Oh, uh...

Thanks.

Ow.

Must make you sick dealing
with guys like him, hmm?

Just keeps screwing it up,

and still wants to
call the shots.

You don't know him.

He ran out of fuel,

stranded us in the middle
of freakin' nowhere

and nearly got us
killed on the road.

You're starting to piss me off.

You'll take the heat,

with your boss, with
the marshal's office,

and this guy?

He'll hang you out to dry.

Did you fix it?

My fingers froze up,
couldn't feel them.

I have been working on
cars since I was 12.

I can fix it.

You're not going anywhere.

Stay away from him.

Where are you going?

To get my bearings.

Maybe we should start
thinking about walking.

Lindsay, I was out
there for two minutes,

I almost lost my fingers.

This is Arctic Air's Lady Lou.

Do you copy?

I read you, Dev. Go ahead.

The storm has reached
Dyson River ahead of us.

We cannot land.

How bad is it?

Not good. We've been circling,

but we are running low on fuel.

And we have not been able to
reach Blake on the phone.

Hold on. Check the weather
around Dyson River.

It looks like it's
moving southeast.

Should be clear by 2:00 A.M.

We'll find you a
place to divert.

Divert?

Ask her if we can come
back for them tomorrow!

Red Bridge looks clear.

How far are you from Red Bridge?

Almost 20 minutes.

Perhaps we can come
back tomorrow...

Great.

Put her down, gas up
and be ready to go.

We'll contact Blake,

and let him know you'll
meet him in Dyson River

as soon as the weather clears.

Okie dokie.

Apparently,

I am now too embarrassing
to be seen in public with,

so I had to sit at the
back of the movie theatre

while Connor and his
friends sat up front.

You should've called me.

We could've made out.

Are you sure you don't
want to get that?

I'm sure.

Anyway, this morning, he
couldn't eat his cereal

because my toast crunching
was too irritating.

But he did give me a
hug on my birthday,

so I guess that's something.

Still want to stick around?

Martin!

Answer your damn phone.

What's going on? Is everything
okay with the kids?

If you're gonna unleash
your spawn on the world,

you damn well better take
responsibility for it.

What the hell are
you talking about?

Did Connor and Jacob get
into another fight.

Oh, Jacob wasn't the one
your kid was tangling with.

It was Bree.

Okay,

let's just calm down.

Where are the kids?

Jacob's out looking
for his sister.

And I got no idea where
your little perv is.

What did you do?

Nothing.

They took off, Russell.

You must've done something.

I walked in and I caught your
kid all over my daughter.

What was I supposed to
do, shake his hand?

You lost your temper.

No.

Did you threaten my son?

'Cause if you laid
a hand on him...

I didn't.

Maybe I should've...

Okay, you know what, back up,

the both of you.

We need to find them and
we need to do it now.

You see her?

No.

She should be back by now.

Yeah, she probably
hitched a ride

and left us out here to freeze.

Wouldn't blame her.

What, you think
this is your fault?

What were you gonna do?

She was busting balls to
get back to Yellowknife.

Shoulder's not a
problem anymore?

I'll live.

I don't know what she
told you about me.

None of my business.

I robbed a convenience store...

And killed your cell mate.

Federal's no joke, man.

I was...

I was just a kid.

I fell off, I was 21.

One week away from
my parole hearing,

I got a new cellie.

He stabbed me while
I was sleeping.

I fought him off,

and he died.

Second degree murder.

Added 10 years to my sentence.

That's rough.

I couldn't handle the thought

of going back inside, man.

But, uh, now...

I don't want to die out here.

Okay?

I can fix the car.

I can get us outta here.

All right, just stay there
in case she comes home.

Thanks, Marie.

You'll call me if
he shows up there?

Thanks.

Well, he's not at the Coopers,

and he's not at my dad's

Justin and Craig
haven't seen him.

I told them to text Connor

and get him to call us.

Bree hasn't gone
to her mother's.

I'm gonna drive around,

see if I can find her.

Oh, okay, well, in that case,

why don't you go with him?

Then I can drive home and
wait for Connor there.

Car's invisible from the road.

I tied my scarf to a
branch as a marker,

in case someone comes along.

Still want to start walking?

No. It's gotta be -30 out there.

We stay here, conserve heat.

He thinks he can get
the car started.

I'm sure he does.

What am I gonna do,
take off in this?

I'm telling you, I can fix it.

Just, let's get
the heat back on.

Look at you, you're freezing.

We all are.

Let him try.

Okay.

But the cuffs stay on.

You're the boss.

Guess he wasn't faking it.

Let's go.

Office opens at 7:00 A.M.

Any word from my officer yet?

Sergeant Lauderhill.

Loreen Cassway.

Yeah, so we still can't get
through to anyone in Dyson River.

I need to speak to
Constable Gallagher now.

We understand that and we're
doing everything we can.

But for right now,

we have to assume that they're waiting
out the storm in the terminal.

Well, that's not good enough.

I need to get officers
up there right away.

Is there something
we should know?

Because if there is,

that is my pilot up there.

We were told about the cellmate.

Lindsay assured us,

self-defense.

If there's more going on...

The paperwork we got only
included his convictions.

But now the marshals tell me...

they think he killed
two other people.

What time exactly did
Blake leave Raven's Bay?

Around 7:30.

I left my sister a
message on Facebook

to find out if Blake dropped
the car off in Dyson River.

Any word from her?

Not yet. Phone lines are down.

Maybe they lost Internet, too.

What about her cell phone?

Doesn't have one.

Any way you can reach
anyone in Dyson River?

We really need to get
in touch with Blake.

Pretty bad out there.

I guess I can find a
quad and run over.

Thanks, Mickey,

but I need you to
stay where you are.

Did something happen
with that prisoner?

Uh, the best thing you
can do for us right now

is to just keep trying to
reach someone in Dyson. Okay?

You got it.

The battery's got juice.

It's just not getting
to the starter.

Why didn't you just do your time

and get a job as a mechanic?

Could've saved us
a lot of grief.

If I hadn't escaped, I'd be
63 by the time I got out.

Not exactly prime age
to start a career.

This coil wire is busted,

I think I can just...

Okay,

tell him to turn the
key all the way off,

and then start it up
again with the gas.

Turn the key all the way off and
then try it again with gas.

No?

No.

Have him try it again.

Try it again.

Nice job. Let's get the heat on.

Let me know if they show up!

What did they say?

Haven't seen 'em.

Why's this crap gotta
happen when I got the kids?

They're probably scared stupid,

hiding from you.

Seriously, what did
you say to them?

Hey, I was doing you a favour,

lookin' after your kid

so you and Petra could take
a swing at number two.

Where would you go if
you were their age?

Check this out.

You're stalking your
daughter on instagram?

This is from half an hour ago.

What's that look like to you?

The marina.

So, you didn't think to tell us

that our pilot is transporting
a triple murderer.

Apparently,

they didn't know about
the other two victims.

Greg turpin wasn't
convicted in those murders

so it wasn't in his file.

The marshals never passed
that information along to us.

But you knew he escaped
custody in Colorado.

Didn't you think Officer Gallagher
could use some back-up?

Hey, all we know is,
the weather is bad.

Doesn't mean anybody's
in trouble.

Dev an Astrid say Dyson's
still socked in.

They haven't heard from Blake.

We need to get
officers up there now.

And I told you, we can't.

It's a white-out.

And we're three hours away.

We've got a plane in Red Bridge.

You got people up there?

I got two officers
who can get there.

Okay.

Maybe we can do something.

Smells like a hockey
bag, but I'll take it.

That's the good thing
about these old cars.

They heat up fast.

We should start digging.

You think we can push it out?

It's worth a try.

Okay.

Just give me one more
minute to warm up.

Let me help dig it out.

Blake and I can handle it.

We've got enough fuel to keep
the heat on for a while.

Maybe.

I had an old beater
like this once.

The needle always read full.

Come on, three sets of hands...

I don't want to run out
of gas after all this.

The faster we dig out...

Okay.

Hands stay cuffed.

I know the drill.

It wasn't my proudest
parenting moment, okay?

So you did freak out.

They were in the den,

supposed to be watching a movie,

all three of them.

I go make some popcorn,

I open the door, there's...

Jacob's nowhere to be seen,

and there's Bree and your kid

making out on the
couch, you know.

It caught me off guard.

I might've yelled.

That's it?

I might've thrown a
bowl of popcorn.

At their heads.

I wasn't prepared for
what I saw, you know?

She's my little girl.

Kids can bring out the
crazy in all of us.

It's different when you
got a girl, though.

You only gotta worry
about one little wiener.

I've gotta worry
about all of 'em.

You're not like your brother.

No one's like Kimbo.

I don't know what I did
to piss him off so much.

Every time I see him,

it looks like he wants
to rip off my head.

Bobby, there are some
things that you don't know.

There they are.

Bree!

We weren't doing anything.

Take it easy, Russell.

Why didn't you
answer your phone?

Because you're a psycho?

Okay. Maybe I overreacted.

Yeah, you think?

Connor, now is not the time.

I'm sorry.

Will you come home?

Come on, I'll give you a ride.

It's okay.

You sure?

Yeah.

Bye.

Bye.

Tires are clear,

but we're still
hung up underneath.

Turpin! You've been
out here 15 minutes.

Go warm up.

No, no, we've almost got it.

Two more minutes,
then you're inside!

Okay, thanks, Mickey.

We'll call you back.

He just got a message from
his sister on Facebook.

Turns out, Blake never
dropped off the car.

So they've gotta still
be on that road.

I've got a buddy up there
offering to do a fly-over.

In a white out? What's
he going to see?

That's what I told him.

Mickey said the
freezing fog's lifted,

so I'm thinking Dev and Astrid
load up the cops in Red Bridge,

land them in Raven's Bay...

And get the cops some
transport down that road.

Yeah, I'll call Mickey back,

see if he can find
them some quads.

I'll call Dev and Astrid.

Sergeant,

tell your officers to get
to the Red Bridge airstrip.

This will probably be good!

Yeah.

Okay, try it!

Let's rock it.

There we go. There we go.

You got it!

What happened?

One of the coil wires
probably came loose again.

Pop the hood.

Let me secure Greg.

Let's go.

Give me your hands.

Nice and slow. Nice and slow.

Nice and slow...

Get these cuffs off me.

Take it easy, Greg.

Now!

Okay...

Throw that key down.

Okay.

Lindsay!

Okay.

That was a stupid thing to do.

Get in.

Lindsay, you okay?

Now, or she dies.

Easy.

Eyes front.

Take off your coat.

Do it!

Hurry up.

Let him go.

Throw it back here.

And the hat and the gloves.

Okay. Okay...

Now start the car.

Get out.

Stay in front of the headlights

so I can see you,

and I promise nothing
happens to her.

Greg, don't do this...

He'll freeze.

And if you try to get back in,

I will cut her throat

and drive myself.

Put me outside, okay?

I'm the reason you're here.

He has nothing to do with it.

What, you like him now?

Get out.

He'll die.

I'm getting on that plane and
I only need one hostage.

Two officers are heading to
the airstrip to meet you.

We need you to drop
them at Raven's Bay.

Copy that.

We'll have wheels up as soon
as the police get here.

You don't have to
kill him, Greg.

You can stop this.

Have you ever been to a
federal prison, Constable?

No.

There's no way to
paint a picture.

It is the worst of the
worst caged together.

It is pain that you can't...

you can't imagine.

You worked with
him, side by side,

digging out this car,

knowing that you were
going to kill him.

I can't have any witnesses.

Had you not emptied the gun,

this would've been
quick for him.

Dev, it's Loreen.
What's your situation?

We have the two
officers on board,

but take-off conditions
are not ideal.

What are we looking at?

Power outage in Red Bridge.

Okay, so you're on
an unlit strip.

Yes.

All right.

Set your Dg to runway
published heading.

Just keep her on the
pavement during takeoff.

Yes, all right.

We'll call you
when we get there.

Copy that.

You ready?

Engine instruments?

All in the green.

Okay, drive. Drive.

I'm not leaving.

Move!

No!

Don't move.

Blake?

Blake!

Can you hear me?

Yeah, you're shouting.

Why didn't you call
me or your mom?

I knew you'd be pissed.

Why would you think that?

Russell was pissed.

Come on.

I'm not mad about Bree.

It's not about me and Bree.

Then what is it?

You hate Russell and
Russell hates you.

Everybody in town knows it.

We don't hate each other.

Yeah, right.

He's never gonna let
me see her again.

Yes, he will.

Just give it some time.

Look...

If you want to hang
out with Bree,

or be friends with Jacob,

do it.

This thing with me and Russell

has got nothing to
do with you guys.

I'm sorry you even have
to worry about it.

Does mom know about
what happened?

Yeah.

Maybe she'll be asleep
by the time we get home.

Don't count on it.

That damn couch is
worse than I remember.

I slept in the waiting room,

and I could still
hear you snore.

How's Blake?

They're testing him
for hypothermia.

Doctor said he's lucky

there was a nurse in
Raven's Bay last night.

How bad is it?

He's trying to
crack jokes, so...

That's a good sign.

Lauderhill wants you to fly the
marshals and the prisoner to Edmonton.

You've been up all night at the hospital.
I'll take them.

You've been up half
the night, too.

You do not want that flight.

I'm not letting
anybody else do it,

that's for damn sure.

I'm sorry I let this happen.

Blake saved my life.

He's a good guy.

Yeah, he is.

Well.

Thanks.

I'm gonna go home
and get some rest.

Suit yourself.

After you call Tag.

I will call him from home.

You will call him now

if I have to lock you

in your office.

Anyway, night from hell,

but I wanted to tell you

that this Christmas thing,

I think it's a
really great idea,

and I'm gonna try
and make it work.

I thought that that
was off the table.

I'm going to figure
it out somehow.

Yeah, but I thought
you couldn't do it,

so I changed my plans.

Oh. 'Kay.

I... I...

Well, I guess I could
still make Fiji work,

I'd just have to
cut a trip short.

No, no, don't do that.

Krista...

I want you to be with me.

I know, and I'm trying.

But if you've changed
your plans...

10 days isn't going to fix it.

Fix what?

This.

So we have 10 days at Christmas,

and then a week in February?

Well, you could come here.

Any time.

I can't follow you around
the world forever.

I love you, Krista,

I do,

but your life is
there, and mine's...

Not.

I don't know what else to do,
but it shouldn't be this hard.

So I guess...

that's it.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Me, too.

Um...

'Kay.

Bye.

Please help me.
