Scorpion (2014–2018): Season 2, Episode 13 - White Out - full transcript
In order to save a United States Special Forces unit from certain death, the Scorpion Team must get through the very low temperatures of Antarctica to connect to a satellite in order to save the soldiers. Toby risks his life to save Happy.
(insects trilling)
Perimeter clear.
Another 50 meters,
then we RTB until order...
Son of a bitch!
(automatic gunfire)
Move!
(indistinct shouting)
There's a structure
ten meters east!
We hit 'em hard
for a three-count,
then Oscar Mike!
Now!
Go, go!
(gunfire continues)
Captain, our Intel said
this quadrant was vacant.
Yeah, well, we're looking at
at least 12 well-armed
unfriendlies,
so I'd say our Intel was wrong.
Situation's pear-shaped.
MAN:
Ready?
(continues indistinctly)
This is Special Forces
Captain Cody Decker!
My detachment's pinned down
at a rock formation
50 yards from our truck.
(upbeat music plays)
You sure you know
what you're doing?
I am a hypochondriac.
I've been taking my own blood
pressure since I was nine.
WALTER:
Why is Sylvester
administering you medical care?
My doctor says
my numbers are up.
He wants me to check it
every morning.
You're in good shape.
Why would you have
high blood pressure?
Happy New Year!
I got bagels!
You were saying?
One egg for Ralphy-boy...
A sesame for Happy...
It's all right.
It's just an accident.
Who are you? What have you done
with Unhappy Quinn?
Saying “yes”
to offers of kindness
is easier than saying
“no, thank you.”
One-third the
syllables,
but twice as positive.
Where have I heard
that before?
It's Quincy Berkstead!
The man who stole
your fiancée?
My nemesis.
(clears throat)
What?
Your Essential Strategies
for Saying Yes to Life.
Why are you reading
this snake oil?
I am just trying
something new for New Year's.
Be a bit more positive,
a little less...
mean and sarcastic.
The only thing dumber
than Quincy Berkstead
is a New Year's resolution
based on his drivel.
Resolutions are a chopportunity.
A “challenging opportunity”?
One: please do not quote
that quack to me.
And two: resolutions don't work.
Do, too; you just got
to have willpower.
Oh, really?
Give up the rocket fuel.
You must drink, like,
12 mugs a day.
I survived Camp
Lejeune boot camp.
You don't think
I can kick coffee?
Break from caffeine
might help
with the blood pressure.
So would a break
from this place.
50 bucks you can't go one day.
Actually, defined
start and end times
for goals demand
efficiency.
For example,
Megan told me to “open up”
and to not be afraid
of relationships,
so this year I have resolved
to be more social.
That's great.
Proud of you.
And research uncovered
an Armenian family
that is incredibly effective
at social media,
very popular online,
though they, they do show
their buttocks quite often.
Those are the Kardashians.
Stars of social media
aren't “social.”
They're not actually friends
with their followers.
Oh, no, on the contrary.
Online, the word “friend”
is used as a verb.
Um, my analysis shows
videos of animals
engaged in human activity
perform quite well.
Especially when
set to music.
I tested my theory.
(tinny music playing)
WALTER (deadpan):
I am a ferret making a meal.
Is that my dollhouse furniture?
This isn't how you make friends.
It's how you
lose friends.
Well, I ha-- I have 17,000 likes
in ten hours.
PAIGE:
Socialization is
going out and meeting
actual human beings.
Like Ralph's doing
with Forestry Braves.
I just like mineralogy.
O-Okay, but there's also
being outside
and singing songs,
tying knots...
About that...
I'm happy to go with Ralph
to his campout next week
and I will help him practice
for his merit badges,
but I draw the line
at knot-tying.
Why?
It's old technology
that has been replaced
with clips and Velcro.
It's not efficient.
And no campfire songs.
Instead of inviting
another kid to this thing,
he invited you,
a 32-year-old man,
and that is so sad.
So you'll sing the songs
and eat the s'mores.
I need Ralph
making friends there.
He's not
a natural at it.
I always wish
I'd given him a sibling.
A single mom to two kids?
Sure, that would've
fixed everything.
I just feel guilty.
And a sibling would've maybe
taught him to fit in better.
So just help him
be a normal kid
and tie the damn knots.
Deputy Cooper.
New Year's bagel?
No, thank you.
Easier to say “yes.”
After the case we just caught,
I don't have
much of an appetite.
Pentagon's lost contact
with one of its
low geosynchronous orbit
satellites.
It controls
military drones
used to support
military missions.
And we need it fixed ASAP.
Why so urgent?
Because of this.
(gunfire)
This is Special Forces
Captain Cody Decker!
My detachment's pinned down
at a rock formation
50 yards from our truck.
Estimate outnumbered
12 to four.
Limited ammo,
cannot disengage safely.
Sun just went down,
but by daybreak
our small numbers
will be exposed
and we will be neutralized.
Request immediate support!
COOPER:
We received this
30 minutes ago,
but the feed is unreliable.
Special Forces,
small detachment,
recent sunset.
Darfur?
Correct.
We sent a four-man strike team
to take out
a genocidal warlord
who's been
eviscerating
border-town farming villages.
So you need your geniuses
to code a patch that'll
reconnect the satellite
so you can send in drones
to give cover
to Decker and his men.
So they can make their way
back to their vehicle
equipped with repeat-fire
grenade launchers,
blow out of there.
PAIGE: Why not send
a plane instead?
Assume it's
a top secret operation
without congressional
approval...
we can't send war planes if
we're not supposed to be there.
Do you guys even read
the Constitution anymore?
SYLVESTER: The drone's satellite is
on a polarcentric orbit.
Should be over
Antarctica in 12 hours.
And that is
important why?
Well, the atmosphere
is thinnest at the poles.
Makes it easier for the signals
to get to the satellite.
U.S. research facility McMurdo
is stationed in Antarctica.
But it's in a valley,
so its wireless
connectivity isn't ideal.
But if we can get to one of
its remote testing labs...
Set up shop,
reconnect the signal;
you send the drones,
soldiers live.
PAIGE:
Why send us
if McMurdo's got scientists?
TOBY:
They're geologists.
They know mineral bed-loads,
not capacity downloads.
Oy! Wordplay.
Okay, so if we leave
now for the South Pole,
we can get there
by 10:00 p.m.
That gives us 51 minutes
until the sun rises in Darfur,
exposing Captain Decker
to certain death.
I'll make the calls.
WALTER: Okay, guys, pack up.
Oh, Sly, you're gonna
have to stay here.
Track the satellite and
feed us its coordinates.
Copy that.
It's gonna be cold there.
That doesn't look
like hot cocoa.
♪ ♪
(wind howling)
PILOT:
Storm came up
from out of nowhere
and it's getting bigger soon!
They're saying it's gonna rage
for about an hour,
so whatever you do,
don't leave the hut.
A whiteout will disorient
you in seconds.
You could be two feet
away from somebody
and not even see 'em.
Walk in the wrong direction
a few steps
and you're lost for good.
And at -40, you freeze to death.
Sounds great.
Excited to be here.
Time's a-wasting,
let's move!
♪ ♪
(wind howling)
Okay, everybody.
Comms in.
I'm gonna connect us
to the garage.
TOBY: I don't know
about you guys,
but since I got here,
kind of feel like
my whole world's upside-down.
Oh, the yes girl is saying no
to my South Pole humor?
I think my laptop's got a bug;
my screen's been frozen
since we landed.
Frozen, get it?
I will bury you
in the ice.
Caffeine withdrawal
makes you mean.
Okay, Sylvester,
can you hear me? Comms are up
and I just remote-desktopped
into your laptop.
Yes, I can hear you.
And, sadly,
Toby's lame jokes.
Okay. The antenna's in position.
Okay, we're ready to send
my software patch
up to the satellite.
What's the status on its orbit?
It's above the South Pole, well
within the zone of connectivity.
You are at eight of ten
signal strength.
The satellite should
be back up and running
once it picks up the patch.
20 seconds, tops.
12-hour flight
for a two-minute job.
(wind gusting)
Blow me down,
that was a big one.
I think this storm's picking up
faster than the pilot predicted.
(wind gusting)
Forget about that storm
picking up;
I'm worried about
this hut picking up.
These things are built
to withstand
these weather fronts.
Okay, Sly,
I'm turning on the antenna.
Sending up the patch on three.
One... two... three.
You send the patch?
I got nothing over here.
This have something
to do with it?
Oh, man, the signal crashed.
Okay, I'll reposition
the antenna.
(wind gusting)
The antenna's not the problem.
The storm's interfering
with the reception.
Well, that's gonna
be an issue,
because you need at least
a five signal strength
to get that software
up to the satellite.
The pilot said the storm
could last an hour.
Walter, Decker and his team
don't have an hour.
Sunrise is in about 45 minutes
and then they're toast.
Okay, give me a minute.
I got it.
I got it.
Walter, you thinking what
I think you're thinking?
Only if you think
that I'm thinking
that this map shows
an elevated ridge 90 meters away
from the antenna that will
send a stronger signal.
Remember what the helicopter man
said about going outside?
Not to. He said not to.
There are four brave men
out there, counting on us.
And no one else to help.
I'm aware of the stakes
and I want to save them,
but like the song says:
baby, it's cold outside.
Let's do it.
It's all about “yes”"
Oh, really?
You want to make out?
Guys, focus.
We're about to head back
into subfreezing temperatures.
Now, Toby, how do we
prepare physically?
Okay, if we're gonna do this,
we should each eat
a protein bar,
'cause staying warm
burns calories
and we'll be
expending energy
trudging through
all that snow.
All right,
you heard the man, chow down.
And I'll be tying a rope
around each of our waists
with 15 feet in between,
so we can't get separated.
Now, we're in
the South Pole,
so compasses don't work,
so we'll have to rely on
old-school
navigation techniques.
Forestry Brave Ralph,
any thoughts on the matter?
Count your steps
and leave a trail
to find your way back to base.
300-foot cable
should do the trick.
We ready?
Guys, Doppler radar says
you are walking out
into essentially a blizzard.
Wow, what a great chopportunity.

This is slower going
than I thought, Paige.
Time check?
38 minutes.
TOBY: I had an Aunt Edie
when I was little.
300 pounds.
Hugged me so tight;
it was just like this.
Couldn't see a thing
and felt like you were dying.
My toes are getting numb!
You're small;
you have less insulation.
You'll feel it before we do.
Hey, Walter!
Shouldn't we be there yet?
We should,
but it's all estimation.
We're working blind here.
Sly, I've counted 90 meters.
How much further?
I can barely hear you,
but I think you asked
for a distance check?
In 20 to 30 paces,
you will come
to a small rock outcrop
where you can set up
the antenna.
(grunts)
Hey, Cabe, are you okay?
Yeah, I can handle it!
I'm not sure I can.
I don't think I have
20 paces left in me.
Oh, you don't have to. Look!
HAPPY:
Look where?
I can't see you,
and you're ten feet
in front of me.
Cabe, do you see it?
Barely!
Just a few more steps, guys!
You get that signal
up to the satellite,
the drones get sent to Decker,
and we've got time to spare.
HAPPY:
Okay, let's get this antenna up.
We're gonna pull this off.
Uh, oh, boy.
What happened?
The temperature dropped faster
than we could've anticipated.
The poles are frozen
and the connecting struts
snapped.
We can't put
this antenna together.
Can't you guys just hold it up?
This wind will blow the poles
right out of our hands
in two seconds.
I need this locked in tight,
not held by people who can
barely feel their fingers.
Let's wedge it in over there.
We have no other choice.
Hello? What am I looking at?
Holy cow,
the feed's working again.
Is anyone there?
Captain Decker, can you hear us?
I neither confirm nor deny
my identity.
Who am I speaking with?
I-I'm Paige Dineen.
This is Sylvester Dodd.
We're Homeland Security
contractors
helping you get the drone
diversion you need.
It's almost daylight!
Once the sun comes up,
they'll overtake us.
When are the drones coming?
Our team is on it.
They're working
as fast as they can.
We're four men holding off
a dozen unfriendlies.
There's a very short clock
on us.
Special forces
wear diver's watches, right?
You got a kid with you?
Great.
And you're the ones saving us?
I'm Ralph.
If you want to buy some time,
you should break the glass
of all your watches
and throw them far from you.
The moonlight will reflect
off of it, and bad guys
will think there are a lot more
soldiers than just you four.
They think we got
bigger numbers,
they'll save ammo,
fire at us less.
That works.
Guys, you heard the kid.
You never cease to amaze me.
CABE: Is it fitting in?
HAPPY: Uh, I think so.
I can't see two inches
in front of me.
Push down harder!
(grunts)
Ah, damn it!
It's just too cold.
Quitting is not an option!
We're trying, Cabe, but we
can't control the weather!
No, we can't, but we can use it
to our advantage.
So, everything around here
freezes instantly, even metal.
So we pour water
around the base of the poles.
The water instantly freezes
into a solid block of ice,
and not even the wind
can blow it over.
Makes sense, but how do we melt
ice in the Antarctic Circle?
Back in the hut,
there are crates of MREs
from McMurdo!
They come
with mini heating units
to warm food and drinks!
By the time you get
down to the hut
and make it back up
to the ridge,
you will have a small window
before the satellite is out
of range to make a connection.
WALTER: You heard Sly,
we got to move.
Follow the cable back!
(rumbling)
What the hell is that?
I can't see for sure,
but is that an ice shelf
above us?
Chunks are about to come off.
Look out!
You okay?
I believe so. Toby, Toby?
Walter, is that you?
Yeah.
Come on, come on.
Hey, Happy, you all right?
Happy?
Quinn, where you at?
Rope's 15 feet long,
far enough for her not to be
able to hear you in this mess.
Guys, something's wrong.
This rope has too much give.
The rope's cut!
A falling ice block
must have severed it.
Happy!
Happy!
Happy!
Happy!
ALL:
Happy! Happy!
Doc!
Walt!
Anyone!
My comm fell out.
Ah... ah.
Toby!
(whimpering)
Toby!
Guys, we're not getting anything
from Happy's comms here,
not even a signal.
If it fell in the snow,
it's as good
as instantly frozen.
Guys, we got to
go find her.
Shut up!
Don't tell me to shut up!
She's lost!
Just be quiet and listen!
HAPPY:
Toby!
Toby!
That's Happy!
What direction is
that coming from?
WALTER:
Between the winds
and the rock formation,
you get distorted echolocation.
It makes
pinpointing her impossible.
Then we have to find her.
We will, but the clock
is ticking on those soldiers.
Now, we can still go after Happy
when we're through.
I will not let my friend die.
Believe me, Toby.
Neither will I.
What are you doing?
She's your friend;
she's the love of my life.
CABE:
I get it, Doc,
but another missing person
isn't gonna help us.
You could both freeze to death!
When humans sense danger,
they instinctively run
towards the sun.
I'll head
towards the low horizon
and catch up to her.
It's -40!
Oh, really? I hadn't noticed.
This is crazy, Toby.
Damn it, Walter!
If Paige was out there,
would you go back to the hut?
Be careful.
Based on temperature,
Happy's weight,
the insulation rating
of her gear
and estimated thermal loss,
she has 41 minutes
before she freezes to death.
Toby has a little bit longer,
because he's bigger.
This is bad, real bad.
I'm getting Cooper
on the phone.
Happy!
Happy!
I can't see anything.
I have no idea where she is
or where I am.
Toby, I promise,
once we fix the antenna,
save the soldiers,
we'll figure out a way to get
a rescue party back to you.
What do you mean,
“no rescue party”?
You're Homeland. Do something.
I don't care about
the weather.
If you can send
them in there,
you sure as hell
can pull them out.
You know it's not her fault.
I know, I'm just scared.
(gunshots)
RALPH:
Captain Decker?
I think they're wise
to the watch trick, Ralph.
I know severe stress
when I see it.
Special Forces or not,
a person can only take
so much.
Captain Decker,
your file says you're 28.
So you were 18 in 2005.
Guess so.
My mom likes songs
from when she was a teenager.
I'll send you one from 2005.
By the time it's over,
you'll be three minutes
and 49 seconds closer
to being saved.

TOBY: Still no sign of Happy.
Storm's kicking it up a notch.
Temp is dropping.
CABE:
You got to conserve energy.
Screw that.
Conserve energy, I slow down,
and I slow down, Happy dies.
I got everything; let's go.
Hey, listen.
We stay close,

Close, safe, simple concepts.
Okay.
Sun's starting to come up.
We're taking heavy fire.
How much longer?
Depends on how long it takes our
team to assemble that antenna.
13 minutes?
We can't hold out that long.
Can you still see and hear me?
Yes, sir, feed's strong.

Yes, sir.

Boiling water freezes

CHAIRMAN:
Deputy Cooper, I'm sorry.
I pulled every favor imaginable,

Doug,
you will find a way to send

It's a slow pulse,
but it's a pulse nonetheless.
You're alive, oh.
If you're wondering
what you're hearing,
it's me, Dr. Tobias M. Curtis,
and I am talking to you
because activity will help
keep both of us warm--
me by working my jaw,
and you by working
your brain.
Come on.
I know I've called you
cold and unfeeling,
but this is ridiculous.
But your heart is still warm,
and you'll stay okay as long
as we can keep it warm.
Okay, um...
I would like to apologize
for what's about to happen.
We need to get naked.
It's not the way I'd imagined,
but bottom line is,
I'm warmer than you,
and skin-to-skin contact
is the fastest way
to transfer what little body
heat I have over to you.
Okay?
So here, okay,
I'm gonna go first.
(unzips)
Just remember
it's really cold out here.
Ralph.
Looks like I'm down
to my sidearm.
Pretty soon the bad guys
will figure that out.
(guns firing)
Hey, Ralph.
I'm gonna turn my camera
off now, buddy.
No.
Scorpion will save you.
Scorpion doesn't fail.
Nah, you don't got to see
what's gonna happen.
I just really appreciate
the song you sent.
Thanks for keeping me
company, buddy.
Sly, I have the drone
software linked back up,
now please tell Cooper
to advise the Pentagon
they have control of the drones.
SYLVESTER:
I just messaged her,
but the odds of the drones
making it there in time...
Walter, we need to focus
on Toby and Happy.
Now, Cooper has a chopper ready,
but we need to give
them a location.
There's no way to know
where they are,
and we can't track them
in this storm
since we lost contact with Toby.
I learned in Forestry Braves
that snakes hear
with their bellies.
They feel the vibrations
in the earth.
And you're on ice.
Ice conducts sound three times
faster than water
and 15 times faster than air,
so maybe they could hear them
through the ice.
Just need to, uh, build a...
a listening device then.
The sonography machine that
they use to test ice samples.
The electrodes on this
machine emit ultrasound waves
that help scientists
see through the ice.
But Happy and Toby aren't
under the ice, they're on it.
Yeah, but if I can reverse
the generators,
I can use the electrodes
to pick up the sound waves
and to hear through the ice.
Footsteps and yells
and any human sound
would have to be Happy and Toby
'cause they're the only
people around here.
Precisely, so we need to get
as close to them as possible.
(grunts)
All right.
We can slide it out on this
to where we last saw Happy.
(grunting):
It is uphill, though.
We'll get it there. Come on.
(grunting)
Your breathing's
getting short.
I wonder why.
The cold's constricting
your blood vessels
and making your already...
high blood pressure
go even higher.
You got to stop.
We stop... Happy and
Toby don't make it.
SYLVESTER:
15 meters more.
Guys, even at the most generous
biological assumptions,
Happy and Toby have got to be

We're not gonna make it.

I got nothing.
Here, take a few steps.
Let's test the hypothesis.

Okay, yeah, loud and clear.

They're both alive!
Oh, my God...

All right.
Toby can barely move.
Happy's not conscious.
We need to reheat
them or they're dead
before we can figure out a
way to get them out of here.
Cabe, you got any of those MRE
heating pouches in your pack?
Yes.
We use those to warm them up.
Then they can walk out of here.
Those pouches are 200 degrees.
You'll burn them alive.
Not the way that
I'm gonna use them.
I'm gonna heat the air

MAN:
Ready?
(continues indistinctly)
This is Special Forces
Captain Cody Decker!
My detachment's pinned down
at a rock formation
50 yards from our truck.
(upbeat music plays)
You sure you know
what you're doing?
I am a hypochondriac.
I've been taking my own blood
pressure since I was nine.
WALTER:
Why is Sylvester
administering you medical care?
My doctor says
my numbers are up.
He wants me to check it
every morning.
You're in good shape.
Why would you have
high blood pressure?
Happy New Year!
I got bagels!
You were saying?
One egg for Ralphy-boy...
A sesame for Happy...
It's all right.
It's just an accident.
Who are you? What have you done
with Unhappy Quinn?
Saying “yes”
to offers of kindness
is easier than saying
“no, thank you.”
One-third the
syllables,
but twice as positive.
Where have I heard
that before?
It's Quincy Berkstead!
The man who stole
your fiancée?
My nemesis.
(clears throat)
What?
Your Essential Strategies
for Saying Yes to Life.
Why are you reading
this snake oil?
I am just trying
something new for New Year's.
Be a bit more positive,
a little less...
mean and sarcastic.
The only thing dumber
than Quincy Berkstead
is a New Year's resolution
based on his drivel.
Resolutions are a chopportunity.
A “challenging opportunity”?
One: please do not quote
that quack to me.
And two: resolutions don't work.
Do, too; you just got
to have willpower.
Oh, really?
Give up the rocket fuel.
You must drink, like,
12 mugs a day.
I survived Camp
Lejeune boot camp.
You don't think
I can kick coffee?
Break from caffeine
might help
with the blood pressure.
So would a break
from this place.
50 bucks you can't go one day.
Actually, defined
start and end times
for goals demand
efficiency.
For example,
Megan told me to “open up”
and to not be afraid
of relationships,
so this year I have resolved
to be more social.
That's great.
Proud of you.
And research uncovered
an Armenian family
that is incredibly effective
at social media,
very popular online,
though they, they do show
their buttocks quite often.
Those are the Kardashians.
Stars of social media
aren't “social.”
They're not actually friends
with their followers.
Oh, no, on the contrary.
Online, the word “friend”
is used as a verb.
Um, my analysis shows
videos of animals
engaged in human activity
perform quite well.
Especially when
set to music.
I tested my theory.
(tinny music playing)
WALTER (deadpan):
I am a ferret making a meal.
Is that my dollhouse furniture?
This isn't how you make friends.
It's how you
lose friends.
Well, I ha-- I have 17,000 likes
in ten hours.
PAIGE:
Socialization is
going out and meeting
actual human beings.
Like Ralph's doing
with Forestry Braves.
I just like mineralogy.
O-Okay, but there's also
being outside
and singing songs,
tying knots...
About that...
I'm happy to go with Ralph
to his campout next week
and I will help him practice
for his merit badges,
but I draw the line
at knot-tying.
Why?
It's old technology
that has been replaced
with clips and Velcro.
It's not efficient.
And no campfire songs.
Instead of inviting
another kid to this thing,
he invited you,
a 32-year-old man,
and that is so sad.
So you'll sing the songs
and eat the s'mores.
I need Ralph
making friends there.
He's not
a natural at it.
I always wish
I'd given him a sibling.
A single mom to two kids?
Sure, that would've
fixed everything.
I just feel guilty.
And a sibling would've maybe
taught him to fit in better.
So just help him
be a normal kid
and tie the damn knots.
Deputy Cooper.
New Year's bagel?
No, thank you.
Easier to say “yes.”
After the case we just caught,
I don't have
much of an appetite.
Pentagon's lost contact
with one of its
low geosynchronous orbit
satellites.
It controls
military drones
used to support
military missions.
And we need it fixed ASAP.
Why so urgent?
Because of this.
(gunfire)
This is Special Forces
Captain Cody Decker!
My detachment's pinned down
at a rock formation
50 yards from our truck.
Estimate outnumbered
12 to four.
Limited ammo,
cannot disengage safely.
Sun just went down,
but by daybreak
our small numbers
will be exposed
and we will be neutralized.
Request immediate support!
COOPER:
We received this
30 minutes ago,
but the feed is unreliable.
Special Forces,
small detachment,
recent sunset.
Darfur?
Correct.
We sent a four-man strike team
to take out
a genocidal warlord
who's been
eviscerating
border-town farming villages.
So you need your geniuses
to code a patch that'll
reconnect the satellite
so you can send in drones
to give cover
to Decker and his men.
So they can make their way
back to their vehicle
equipped with repeat-fire
grenade launchers,
blow out of there.
PAIGE: Why not send
a plane instead?
Assume it's
a top secret operation
without congressional
approval...
we can't send war planes if
we're not supposed to be there.
Do you guys even read
the Constitution anymore?
SYLVESTER: The drone's satellite is
on a polarcentric orbit.
Should be over
Antarctica in 12 hours.
And that is
important why?
Well, the atmosphere
is thinnest at the poles.
Makes it easier for the signals
to get to the satellite.
U.S. research facility McMurdo
is stationed in Antarctica.
But it's in a valley,
so its wireless
connectivity isn't ideal.
But if we can get to one of
its remote testing labs...
Set up shop,
reconnect the signal;
you send the drones,
soldiers live.
PAIGE:
Why send us
if McMurdo's got scientists?
TOBY:
They're geologists.
They know mineral bed-loads,
not capacity downloads.
Oy! Wordplay.
Okay, so if we leave
now for the South Pole,
we can get there
by 10:00 p.m.
That gives us 51 minutes
until the sun rises in Darfur,
exposing Captain Decker
to certain death.
I'll make the calls.
WALTER: Okay, guys, pack up.
Oh, Sly, you're gonna

Okay. The antenna's in position.
Okay, we're ready to send

up to the satellite.
What's the status on its orbit?
It's above the South Pole, well
within the zone of connectivity.
You are at eight of ten
signal strength.
The satellite should
be back up and running
once it picks up the patch.
20 seconds, tops.
12-hour flight

Blow me down,

Okay, Sly,

Sending up the patch on three.
One... two... three.
You send the patch?
I got nothing over here.
This have something
to do with it?
Oh, man, the signal crashed.
Okay, I'll reposition
the antenna.
(wind gusting)
The antenna's not the problem.
The storm's interfering
with the reception.
Well, that's gonna
be an issue,
because you need at least
a five signal strength
to get that software
up to the satellite.
The pilot said the storm
could last an hour.
Walter, Decker and his team
don't have an hour.
Sunrise is in about 45 minutes
and then they're toast.
Okay, give me a minute.
I got it.
I got it.
Walter, you thinking what
I think you're thinking?
Only if you think
that I'm thinking
that this map shows
an elevated ridge 90 meters away
from the antenna that will
send a stronger signal.
Remember what the helicopter man
said about going outside?
Not to. He said not to.
There are four brave men
out there, counting on us.
And no one else to help.
I'm aware of the stakes
and I want to save them,
but like the song says:
baby, it's cold outside.
Let's do it.
It's all about “yes”"
Oh, really?
You want to make out?
Guys, focus.
We're about to head back
into subfreezing temperatures.
Now, Toby, how do we
prepare physically?
Okay, if we're gonna do this,
we should each eat
a protein bar,
'cause staying warm
burns calories
and we'll be
expending energy
trudging through
all that snow.
All right,
you heard the man, chow down.
And I'll be tying a rope
around each of our waists
with 15 feet in between,
so we can't get separated.
Now, we're in
the South Pole,
so compasses don't work,
so we'll have to rely on
old-school
navigation techniques.
Forestry Brave Ralph,
any thoughts on the matter?
Count your steps
and leave a trail

Quitting is not an option!
We're trying, Cabe, but we

No, we can't, but we can use it
to our advantage.
So, everything around here
freezes instantly, even metal.
So we pour water
around the base of the poles.
The water instantly freezes
into a solid block of ice,
and not even the wind
can blow it over.
Makes sense, but how do we melt
ice in the Antarctic Circle?
Back in the hut,
there are crates of MREs
from McMurdo!
They come

Toby, update?
TOBY: Still no sign of Happy.
Storm's kicking it up a notch.
Temp is dropping.
CABE:
You got to conserve energy.
Screw that.
Conserve energy, I slow down,
and I slow down, Happy dies.
I got everything; let's go.
Hey, listen.
We stay close,
we stay safe, understand?
Close, safe, simple concepts.
Okay.
Sun's starting to come up.
We're taking heavy fire.
How much longer?
Depends on how long it takes our
team to assemble that antenna.
13 minutes?
We can't hold out that long.
Can you still see and hear me?
Yes, sir, feed's strong.
Can you record me?
Yes, sir.
Good.
I need to record a message
to my family.
Will you do that?
It's ready, Captain.
Okay.
Molly...
I thank God every day
we found each other.
I've never been
good enough for you.
And you've never minded.
And, Kyle... you're

Walter, you there?!
Oh, come on, warm up,

Oh, no.
Okay, God,

I know I don't really

Okay, then.
CABE:

We don't have much time.
Boiling water freezes

Okay, give it a tug.
It should work.

Okay.

visibility is so low...
(beeps) Uh, hold on,

CHAIRMAN:
Deputy Cooper, I'm sorry.
I pulled every favor imaginable,
and I can't get
the transport that you need.
COOPER:
Mr. Chairman,
Doug,
you will find a way to send
a CH-53 Super Stallion
to get them off that glacier,
or I will call your wife
and tell her it was you,
not the nanny, who left

Julie really loved that cat.

It's a slow pulse,
but it's a pulse nonetheless.
You're alive, oh.
If you're wondering
what you're hearing,
it's me, Dr. Tobias M. Curtis,
and I am talking to you
because activity will help
keep both of us warm--
me by working my jaw,
and you by working
your brain.
Come on.
I know I've called you
cold and unfeeling,
but this is ridiculous.
But your heart is still warm,
and you'll stay okay as long
as we can keep it warm.
Okay, um...
I would like to apologize
for what's about to happen.
We need to get naked.
It's not the way I'd imagined,
but bottom line is,
I'm warmer than you,
and skin-to-skin contact
is the fastest way
to transfer what little body
heat I have over to you.
Okay?
So here, okay,
I'm gonna go first.
(unzips)
Just remember
it's really cold out here.
Ralph.
Looks like I'm down

Hey, Ralph.
I'm gonna turn my camera

No.
Scorpion will save you.
Scorpion doesn't fail.
Nah, you don't got to see
what's gonna happen.
I just really appreciate
the song you sent.
Thanks for keeping me
company, buddy.
Sly, I have the drone
software linked back up,
now please tell Cooper
to advise the Pentagon
they have control of the drones.
SYLVESTER:
I just messaged her,
but the odds of the drones
making it there in time...
Walter, we need to focus
on Toby and Happy.
Now, Cooper has a chopper ready,
but we need to give
them a location.
There's no way to know
where they are,
and we can't track them
in this storm
since we lost contact with Toby.
I learned in Forestry Braves
that snakes hear
with their bellies.
They feel the vibrations
in the earth.
And you're on ice.
Ice conducts sound three times
faster than water
and 15 times faster than air,
so maybe they could hear them
through the ice.
Just need to, uh, build a...
a listening device then.
The sonography machine that
they use to test ice samples.
The electrodes on this
machine emit ultrasound waves
that help scientists
see through the ice.
But Happy and Toby aren't
under the ice, they're on it.
Yeah, but if I can reverse
the generators,
I can use the electrodes
to pick up the sound waves
and to hear through the ice.
Footsteps and yells
and any human sound
would have to be Happy and Toby
'cause they're the only
people around here.
Precisely, so we need to get
as close to them as possible.
(grunts)
All right.
We can slide it out on this
to where we last saw Happy.
(grunting):
It is uphill, though.
We'll get it there. Come on.
(grunting)
Your breathing's
getting short.
I wonder why.
The cold's constricting
your blood vessels
and making your already...
high blood pressure
go even higher.
You got to stop.
We stop... Happy and
Toby don't make it.
SYLVESTER:
15 meters more.
Guys, even at the most generous
biological assumptions,
Happy and Toby have got to be
very close to death by now.
We're not gonna make it.
I'm with you.
I never thought I'd be so lucky
to go out like this.
WALTER:
Okay!
What do you got?
I got nothing.
Here, take a few steps.
Let's test the hypothesis.
(feedback over headphones)
Okay, yeah, loud and clear.
So the crazy thing works?
I still got
nothing.
Our only chance to hear anything
is to get the electrodes
deeper in the ice.
You want deeper?
Look out!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
(gun fires)
Yeah, that'll do nicely.
(Walter grunts)
Tell me you got something.
(heart beating)
I got something.
It sounds like a heartbeat.
Son of a gun.
For sure?
Yeah, it's real.
But it's only one.
CABE:
It's found their location
and it's 50 paces that way!
Let's go!
WALTER:
Toby!
Toby!
They're not moving.
Here, here.
WALTER:
Toby!
Happy?
They're both alive!
Oh, my God...
(laughs)
All right.
Toby can barely move.
Happy's not conscious.
We need to reheat
them or they're dead
before we can figure out a
way to get them out of here.
Cabe, you got any of those MRE
heating pouches in your pack?
Yes.
We use those to warm them up.
Then they can walk out of here.
Those pouches are 200 degrees.
You'll burn them alive.
Not the way that
I'm gonna use them.
I'm gonna heat the air
that they breathe.
It'll warm them
from the inside out.
(grunts)
WALTER:
Toby!
Breathe that in!
Hurry!
It's working.
They're moving!
Smart thinking, son.
Hey, Doc...
Hmm...
Oh, it's good
to hear your voice.
Are we...
naked?
Yeah, I saw a chopportunity
and I took it.
Well, now that
we know that they're alive,
how we gonna
get 'em out of there?
PAIGE:
Hoist them out.
Tie a figure eight follow
through in the end of the rope.
That will make a loop.
String the loop under their arms
and lift them up.
I'll talk you through it.
