Arctic Air (2012) s02e04 Episode Script

Previously on Arctic Air I lied before, when I said I don't get lonely.
Dev, it was a one-time thing, okay? Don't lie for him, Cece, he's not worth it.
I thought once we got married, I'd see you more, not less.
You're always complaining that I'm never around, but now you're never around.
Krista, marry me.
Can you put Krista on? Hey, Bobby, Krista just said yes.
[Bobby.]
: Any regrets? With Blake? [Krista.]
: You're my best friend.
Let's just not spoil a good thing.
[Dev.]
: I am so happy you didn't leave Arctic Air after you broke off After I broke off my engagement with Krista? I'm sure as hell not going to walk away just because it makes her uncomfortable to have me around.
[.]
[Laughs.]
I'm shedding again! Maybe it's time you get out of that thing.
That is the plan.
Oh, Krista, wait, wait.
I want to meet the fiance before you lovers take off.
Hello, Blake.
You're just as yummy as Krista said.
Uh Thanks, I guess.
Okay, Susie, this is Bobby Martin.
Not Blake, Bobby.
From grad.
Oh, wow! You and Blake called off the wedding.
Oh, that's so sad.
Don't you think that's sad? Hmm, a little sad.
Oh, is there still wine in there? Don't clear it.
[Laughing.]
Blake.
Hate to interrupt the party, but they need you back at Arctic Air.
What are you doing here? Astrid was supposed to pick us up much later.
With Shontal gone, Astrid got bumped to the Margate run.
I was on my way to Franklin Bay, so they called me.
We're not ready to go yet.
Well, get ready.
We have nobody to cover Hay River or Fort Simpson.
We booked off.
Talk to Mel.
The sked is screwed.
He wants you back.
See, just like grad night.
Your dad's still trying to keep me out of your room.
Yeah, um I'm going to get changed.
You should, too.
Yeah.
Hey, Riley.
I heard you snagged a 60-pounder? Yeah, fought like a son of a bitch.
Thought you had the afternoon shift? I, uh, had to cover for Trent.
Trent? He's here.
I just saw him.
What's going on? [Shoots.]
[.]
Listen to this, she's says I don't "get" marriage.
Well, you probably don't.
I married her, didn't I? What else does she want me to do? Act like a husband.
What does that even mean? This is Tuesday, right? [Opening lunch box.]
Ham with cheese and pickles.
[Laughs.]
See? You act like a husband.
She'll act like a wife.
Great advice, Cece.
As per usual.
This place sounds nice.
[Laughs.]
Any place that you can afford to buy in Yellowknife is not nice.
I'm certain one of these places is going to be perfect.
What, you don't want to live in the same house with Astrid anymore? You're over her, are you? If I was strictly accurate, I would not say I was over her.
But living away from her will be healthier for me.
What's healthier? Is this about turmeric again? No, no.
Dev's just getting all fired up.
He's going house-hunting this afternoon.
You're really buying a place? That's great! I'm so glad.
You are? Ja.
But you have to get a better hot water tank than Krista, okay? All I want is to stand under a hot, long shower and get the bathroom really, really steamy.
[Clears throat.]
What time is your first appointment? Oh, um In an hour.
Great.
I'll meet you in the parking lot.
Tomorrow's Wednesday? Roast beef and potato salad.
[Storm raging.]
Mel would kill me if I took three pilots out of rotation for another day.
Right, but he'd love you to fly our plane into a storm? A squall warning, not a storm.
Doesn't look good.
[Rattling sharply.]
Some warning.
Loreen, do you copy? [Loreen, over radio.]
: Go ahead.
We're going to have to divert.
We're headed into weather.
Blake knows a runway.
Old dew line station.
[Static crackling.]
Loreen? Looks like we could be heading right into the middle of it.
[Krista.]
: We've lost radio contact.
[Thunderclaps rumble.]
[Head thuds heavily.]
You okay? Bobby! Bobby, are you okay? You can't land in this.
You're flying blind.
We can't turn around.
Maybe it's better down below.
This place used to be a weather station in the '90s.
The runway might be okay.
Let's hope you're right.
Hold on.
[Mel.]
: Send Dev.
[Loreen.]
: Can't.
When he gets back, he'll have done 14 hours.
Astrid? Same.
So let me get this straight.
All of our pilots are scheduled or nearing their limits.
We have two food runs, and you let two pilots slack off.
I didn't know Shontal was going to quit without any warning.
A good office manager anticipates problems.
We'll catch up Mel.
I sent Blake to pick up Krista and Bobby.
You let two pilots slack off, then you send another pilot to pick them up? When do they get back? They ran into a storm.
They're waiting it out in an old dew line station.
This just keeps getting better.
What is a dew line station anyway? Stands for "distant early warning.
" Bunch of guys in the '50s used to sit around up north playing checkers and looking out for Russian bombers.
Now you got my pilots up there playing checkers while we lose business! Isn't one of those "slacking pilots" his daughter, up north for her friend's wedding? - Yup.
- Wow.
Yeah, well, he's worse than usual.
He's a little hurt Shontal took another job without even talking to him.
I heard he has a girlfriend in Sibbeston Lake.
Maybe he needs to make a trip up north.
He and Rita are taking a break since the accident.
Well, maybe that's the problem.
Mel needs a date to make him human again.
Human? I keep forgetting you're new.
Got it.
My landlady, Molly.
She might like Mel.
Hmm.
She got a thing for grumpy old guys? Bobby, how's your head? I'm good.
I thought we were going to buy the farm back there.
[Groaning.]
There you go.
We'd better get him inside.
He might have a concussion.
Come on.
[Groans groggily.]
This place is creepy.
We need to wait out the storm somewhere.
Beautiful You're so beautiful.
Okay, let's just get you inside.
[Wind gusting and whistling.]
[Krista shivers.]
The main thing to worry about is an internal bleed.
I'm fine.
You don't mess around with a concussion.
Here we go.
Put him over here.
There you go.
Easy.
[Voice, behind them.]
: These places can be dangerous.
What who is that? Where the hell did you come from? Nice to meet you, too.
Sorry.
We thought we were the only ones here.
You just scared us a little.
A little? Scared the heck out of me.
Not a place you expect crowds.
How'd you get here? My husband was flying me and our friend up to Anderson River.
We hit the storm.
Are they okay? Yeah.
Thanks.
They're trying to get the generators working.
Place could use a little light.
So, uh, what are you all doing so far north? Well, we work for an airline.
This was a pick up.
An airline? Really? They know where you are? Well, they knew that we were thinking of landing at a dew line station, but we lost radio contact when we landed.
So they're not sure where you set down? No.
Well, doesn't matter.
You'll be out of here soon.
Yeah, we have to be.
Our friend is hurt.
How's he doing? You dizzy? Feel like you're going to throw up? Nah.
I'm fine.
He's going to be okay.
Good thing you've got such a hard head.
Where's that generator? Uh, it's in the power house in the main module.
Maybe I can help out.
Great.
If his headache gets worse, or he throws up, call me.
Don't let him sleep.
[Realtor.]
: Wait until you see.
The kitchenette's adorable! Again, I am the buyer.
Yes, dear.
[Chuckles knowingly.]
But I've learned it's the woman who makes these decisions.
Oh, I'm not "the woman" in this Mm-mm, I don't need to know all the little details of your arrangement.
This place is in your budget, and it has everything on your wish list.
Oh, so there are good schools nearby? What do you care about schools? Some day, my children will live here, and they will need to go to a good school.
Children? You never said you want children! Okay.
Time-out, you two.
House-hunting is always hard on a relationship.
This is not a relationship! Whoa.
Kirby.
Are you trying to scare me to death? No, I'm trying to be a good husband.
What? It's Cece's idea.
Cece remembered? Remembered what? Nothing.
I asked you not to talk about our stuff with people, especially not Cece.
What's wrong with Cece? I've got to get back to my desk.
[Dev.]
: This will not work.
I cannot have Astrid living in a neighbourhood like this.
I can take care of myself.
The reality is this listing is one of the only ones I could find in your price range.
Here we are! Only 350! $350,000? For this? I told you the part of town we were headed for.
What did you expect? Okay, the truth is, neither of us Are originally from Yellowknife.
Oh.
Well, then we're in luck.
Because Something's just come in, and I know you're going to love it.
Let's go.
Okay.
Okay, I am the prospective buyer.
This is all my fault.
What is? That we're here.
My husband's a geologist, he works long hours.
We never get away, so I talked him into a last-minute trip up to Anderson River, and here we are Stuck.
Well, at least we're out of the storm.
Yeah, but I don't know, this place, it just, it feels bad to me, do you know what I mean? Yeah.
Yeah, I kind of do.
You know, we might have some extra water on the plane.
Maybe even some sandwiches.
I'll go and check.
Thanks.
There you go.
Must have been a strange place to live for months and months.
Trying to kill time, you know, waiting for the Russians to drop the bomb.
They say people went crazy in these places, stuck up here for so long.
Are you messing with me? Maybe just a little.
[Laughs.]
Okay, seriously, how are you? Just a headache Oh, look.
Looks like they got the generator running.
Maybe we can get the radio to work.
I'll be back soon.
Okay.
[Whispering.]
Hey.
Heard somebody else was here.
I'm Jesse Backus.
Krista.
[Clears throat.]
Let's go get your coat.
Yeah.
Hey, you got it going.
Your friend here filtered the old diesel fuel through a shirt.
Quite brilliant, really.
Now, if we run out of supplies and we have to draw straws to see who lives or dies, I'd vote we keep this fellow.
[Chuckles mirthlessly.]
Good to know.
Of course, beautiful women are always useful as well.
Okay.
Speaking of beautiful women, where's my wife? Your wife? Catharine.
You're Catharine's husband? Yeah, I know.
A bit of a beauty and the beast.
You know, every day, I wonder how I got that woman to marry me.
Since you can apparently fix anything, Blake, any chance we can get the radio going? Worth a try.
Transmission room is a mess.
Impossible to get that radio working Even for you, my friend.
Well, we need to make contact, find out how bad the weather is It's a waste of time.
We have heat, we have light.
We have everything we need to wait it out.
Weather always gets better some time, right? Excuse me.
I'll just Coming through.
[Chuckling awkwardly.]
He's kind of a weird guy.
He means well.
Let's go.
[Groaning in discomfort.]
How's the patient? Um Still a little bit groggy.
But he's getting better hey, buddy? Where's Krista? She and your friend went to work on the radio.
Radio? Don't see how they could get it working, do you? Who knows? The guy's some kind of mechanical genius.
Right.
Maybe it's worth another look.
[Whistles a warning.]
[Clears throat awkwardly.]
We should go out to celebrate.
What are we celebrating? Molly here talked me into running the Yellowknife Marathon.
What about dinner after we train? You guys want to join us? Dinner sounds nice.
Mel's recovering from an injury.
He tires easily.
He's got to turn in early.
Oh.
That's a shame.
Dinner.
See you tonight.
Great.
We should get back to work.
You've got to learn to relax.
Let me show you around Arctic Air.
You want to see my DC-3? I'd like that.
[Shutter clicking.]
[Laughing.]
I love it.
I love it! I love it! Did you see the view from my bedroom? I saw the view from the master bedroom.
Oh, come on, Dev.
If I get the bedroom with the bathroom, I don't have to wander through the house in my robe.
All of the time.
Everyone wins.
I disagree.
Bottom line, you love it, right? You both love it? Ja! Ja.
Ja.
Ja.
[Chuckling.]
Okay.
But why is this house so affordable? What's the catch? There isn't one.
You're just such a cute couple, I thought I'd pull a few strings for you.
You know this house wasn't even listed? I do not wish to be rude, but I am not sure I believe you.
Other houses in this neighbourhood, they cost at least $850,000.
Okay, you got me.
There is something a little Well, a little unusual about this house.
What? But you don't care, do you? I mean, I just assumed it wouldn't be a problem for you, you two being foreign and all.
What does being foreign have to do with anything? [Stammering.]
It's just such a beautiful house.
Don't you think? You're right.
We I mean, I would like to make an offer.
[Laughing in delight.]
Looks like you and your sweetie might have just bought yourselves a house! [Squealing and giggling.]
Hey, uh, you got anything that fits this? Uh Maybe we should just take off, get out of here.
Head right into the next storm? Yeah, why did you fly with a storm warning? I thought you were more of a by the book kind of guy.
Maybe you don't know me as well as you think.
Right.
Typical of Mel to just send you without thinking.
Why not send me? Just it must have been weird to pick me and Bobby up at the wedding.
Why? Why would that be weird? Because you and I were supposed to go to that wedding together? Because we were engaged? If we can just adjust the antenna, I think this should work.
You know, what you saw back at the hotel, it wasn't what you thought, me and Bobby.
He was just saying goodnight.
You really think I care? No, when you agreed to spend the rest of your life with me, then I cared that you were kissing Bobby.
Not now.
You never gave me the chance to explain.
That didn't mean anything.
You don't need to lie anymore I'm not lying! We never talked about what happened.
You know, it's just too bad I wasted so much time waiting for you to make up your mind.
I should have figured it out.
Truth is, you aren't capable of loving anybody but yourself.
I'm going to go check on Bobby.
Right.
Come on, Kirby, can't this wait till tonight? Don't think so.
Oh.
For you.
Okay, you surprised me.
Yeah.
Nice, eh? Wait.
There's more.
Really? Dinner out tonight? I've heard that one before.
Come on, babe, we'll we'll celebrate.
Maybe we should.
We're going to go to Bullocks.
So? I will see you at Bullocks after work? [Voices crackle with static.]
Advise all aircraft, police suspect will be travelling in airspace, wanted for armed robbery and murder at the Urjarak Diamond Mine.
Jesse Backus, late 20s, six feet, 220 pounds, star tattoo on his right arm [Shoots.]
It's too bad you got that thing working.
Now, what am I going to do with you and your friends? I'm the only one that heard anything.
I can't let any of you go now! Okay.
[Mel.]
: I didn't think I'd make it out of there alive.
Wow, that's an incredible story.
Isn't it? [Loreen.]
: Maybe the first time you hear it.
Irish coffees all round? Sounds perfect.
Not for me.
Oh, come on, my treat.
The whole evening.
You bought dinner, and now you're buying drinks, too? Yeah.
What's the big deal? My thanks to you guys for introducing me and Molly.
That's so sweet.
Uh, four Irish coffees, please.
Maybe you could let me show you some of my favourite spots in Yellowknife? She's already seen the Arctic Air office.
We could take a hike to back bay.
A hike? I'd like that.
You can canoe there, right? It's brilliant canoeing.
You two should take a picnic.
Sounds great.
Sounds exhausting.
You're in? Definitely.
Are you okay? We heard gunshots.
Where's Jesse? Your friend tried to shoot me.
That's impossible.
What's going on? What are you talking about? Jesse killed a guard at a diamond mine.
The cops are looking for him.
They must be in on it together.
No! God, no.
This has got to be a mistake.
We don't know anything about a robbery.
He's just a friend.
Why should we believe you? Because it's the truth.
Look, he found out that we were going away, and, at the last minute, he asked if he could come.
And I told you it was strange when he just showed up like that.
I've got to find him.
Stay here till I get back.
I'm going to come with you.
It's our fault he's here.
I just, I feel terrible about all of this.
Please, let me help.
Yeah.
Hey.
Hey! You looked like more than just friends with Jesse.
Did you rob the mine with him? No! And I don't believe that he did either.
This has got to be a mistake.
Then why did he shoot at Blake? I don't know, but there's got to be some other explanation for this.
I know he's not a killer.
Because you know your friend so well? Okay.
We are involved, me and Jesse.
That has nothing to do with any of this.
Look, I don't know what's going on here.
Are you sure he's not using you? We love each other.
That's real.
I might be an idiot, but I am not a murderer.
And neither is Jesse.
Please, I'm telling you the truth.
All right.
I've been texting her all night.
No answer.
Maybe she went home? No, she's supposed to meet me here.
I'll tell you one thing, you ain't going to fix what's broke sitting here drinking with us instead of talking to your wife.
Then why are you still here instead of with Marie? What, you think I wouldn't rather be home with my wife than sitting here with you rigs? Stretched out on the lazy-boy with a double dark and stormy in my hand? Then why aren't you? Because Tuesday, Marie gets the night home alone.
Ever since the fifth kid was born, we've all got to find some place to go.
Excuse me.
Cece is right.
You should go home.
Now I'm supposed to take advice from the single guy? Not single for long, my friend.
What? The house-hunting go good? It did indeed.
I made an offer on a beautiful home in Nivan Lake, where I will shortly be living with my lady love.
What lady love? Whoa, whoa, whoa, what home in Nivan Lake? You can't afford anything up there! Must be something wrong with the place.
There was a small issue.
The house was well, apparently, it was briefly used as a set for some some pornography movies.
You know, soft pornography.
You would think that would make it, like, more expensive.
I would love to live in a porn house.
Oh, no, no, I know this house.
Not from porn, you yomps.
Trust me, you do not want to live in this house.
He might have gone outside.
Max? Max, where the hell are you? Max? [Chair scrapes.]
Wait, where are you going? I have to find Jesse.
I've got to talk to him, find out what's going on.
It's too late to talk.
He shot at Blake.
If he shot at Blake, then it must be because he's scared.
Scared of what? I don't know.
But if I find him, and I talk to him, then maybe we can figure this out, stop things from getting any worse.
You have no idea what he'll do.
He'll listen to me.
I'm going.
Where? Maybe he went back to the plane.
Then we're coming.
Okay.
Oh, wait, wait.
Are you okay? [Groaning in pain.]
Why don't the two of you just go ahead? I don't want to hold you back.
I'll be fine.
All right, well, be careful.
Yeah, you too.
Jesse, is that you? Come on, I just want to talk.
Careful.
He'd never hurt me.
I hope you're right.
[Blow thuds, Blake falls heavily.]
[Both yelping in fright.]
Dev.
You scared me to death.
Don't say that.
Please.
You okay? Not really.
I couldn't sleep.
It's too bright.
I'm going to make some tea, do you want some? Tea would be nice.
Soon, we'll be having tea in that beautiful house with the amazing view.
I am afraid not.
They didn't accept your offer? I retracted it.
Dev! That is the perfect house.
I found out why it was so cheap.
Well, whatever it is, it doesn't matter.
A couple died there a few years ago.
That's sad, but, you know, it's life.
That's what happens.
It's a house.
People are born, people die.
A deranged killer found a couple at home.
He broke the wife's neck and he shot the husband.
Okay, that is kind of disturbing, but it's not a reason to give up on a perfect house.
He cut them into pieces.
Little pieces.
Apparently, they never figured out how he skinned the bodies.
They don't know for sure if he ate them, but they did find body parts cooking on the stove.
They never found the killer.
He's still out there.
Okay, uh It might be difficult to cook in that kitchen.
Or, uh eat in that kitchen.
[Breathing shakily.]
I knew it.
I told Cece.
What do you know? That we'd end up together.
We'll find the right place for us.
We can take our time now Okay, Dev, uh We are not ending up together.
We could use some warmth.
'Kay? No.
No, no, I I am afraid that is not okay.
[Kettle whistling.]
Okay.
Okay, that might be a good idea.
Perhaps just one more night.
For warmth.
Thank God it's still here.
It's a good thing Jesse didn't get here first.
[Door rattling, they gasp in fright.]
Whoa! Oh, sorry, sorry.
It's just me.
Bobby! Did you see Jesse anywhere? Um, no.
Wow, it's a .
30-30? You ever handled one of those? It's got a great kick.
Right.
Maybe it'd be safer if I held the gun.
I'm okay.
No, really, it's a lot harder than you think.
I know .
30-30's very well.
What else do you know? I know it takes more than one person to rob a diamond mine.
I looked in your bag.
No! And I know that the safety is still on.
Go! [Cocking rifle.]
[Firing.]
"Safety's on?" We're still alive, aren't we? No point in hiding! There's nowhere to go.
Come on, let's work this out.
Things got really messed up between me, and Max, and Jesse.
You're running from the wrong person.
I don't know what Jesse did, but I'm no killer.
[Cocks rifle and fires.]
Where's your gun? Somebody took it.
Let's get to the plane.
What about the weather? We'll risk it.
I'm sorry.
I know you guys don't want to shoot anybody else.
We don't want to kill anyone at all.
We're not murderers! Oh, yeah, what about Jesse? I'm sad about all of this, but we can't leave any witnesses.
Wait.
What about Jesse? He's dead.
No, he's not.
He can't be.
Cat, come on.
She's lying.
He's probably waiting for us on the plane right now.
I'll show you his body.
They'll say anything to save their skins.
No one's going anywhere.
You killed him.
You murderer! Go, go, go No, you can't believe that! Still nothing.
Once we get some altitude, we can get through.
Have the police pick them up.
I don't think they'll wait around.
They'll just take the diamonds and fly.
That might be difficult.
We cut their hydraulic line.
Okay.
They won't be taking off.
Hailey? [Door closes.]
[Beads jangle.]
Aw, Hails I told you.
Bullocks.
You didn't listen.
[Sighs.]
I was there all night, waiting for you.
I thought we were going to celebrate.
Looks like you went ahead without me.
Oh, um I was going to give you this at Bullocks, if you ever bothered to show.
Happy anniversary, babe.
Oh, Kirby, it's really beautiful.
I knew you'd like it.
See, it's got our initials and wedding date.
That way I won't ever forget our anniversary.
The engraving cost extra, but you're totally worth it.
I can't do this anymore.
What? What are you talking about? I'm really sorry.
Wait, Hails, wait.
Wait! Where are you going? What is this, like a joke? Krista! Hey, uh, you got a sec? Look I was a little hard on you up there.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
You shouldn't be.
You did us both a favour.
I did? Seeing those three today, love really messed them up.
That was it? Not robbing a diamond mine and killing people? [Laughing.]
I'm just saying, jealousy, it sucks.
Yeah, it does.
Really, we got lucky.
We almost got married for all the wrong reasons.
What, love? No, not love.
It was more like loneliness.
Face it.
We never knew each other well enough to really go there.
I hope some day you find someone that can really love you.
You deserve that.
They found two bodies at the dew line.
The security guard from the diamond mine and the guy who turned out to be the geologist there.
And the woman, the diamond cutter? They couldn't find her anywhere.
Maybe she walked out, met some buyer somewhere.
Well, from what I heard, if she's walking, she's dead.
Nowhere to go out there.
Brought you some scones.
Blueberry.
Your favourite.
And, hey, thanks for the set-up with Molly.
She's a good woman.
Set-up? I'm not an idiot.
Feels good to get back out there.
Helped me figure out some stuff.
What, that you're ready for something more serious? Ready for more fun! Got another date tonight.
With Molly? Uh, well, yeah, that's this weekend.
Tonight, it's Lisa.
Ran into her in the bakery this morning.
We know each other pretty well, right? I'd say so.
Are we going to talk about you coming in? No.
Hey, where do you think you're going? You just said I said we're not going to talk about it.
See ya.
Good night.
Krista gone? Yeah, she drove Bobby home.
Right.
Okay.
Do you need her? Nah I'll survive.
You know I have a head injury.
The doctor said that it's dangerous if I fall asleep.
Then no sleeping.
No talking.
[Laughing.]
