The Pretender s03e20 Episode Script
Qallupilluit
- You wanted to see me? - Angel.
Shut the door, please.
Yeah.
[Clears Throat.]
I thought maybe we could, uh, have lunch together.
Is something wrong? Why does something have to be wrong when a father asks his daughter to lunch? It doesn't.
It's just- I'm sorry, Daddy.
I didn't mean it that way.
Oh, that's all right.
I probably deserved it.
I just thought we could sit down and- [Clears Throat.]
talk for a while.
God knows you've- you've been through a lot, huh? - I would love to have lunch with you.
- Good.
Good.
- We need to speak with you, alone.
- Not now, Raines.
- It'll have to wait.
- It can't.
- [Chuckles.]
- [Brigitte.]
Sweetheart.
[Kissing.]
- Ooh! - Ooh! That's okay, Daddy.
I seem to have lost my appetite anyway.
I'm sorry, angel.
We'll try another time.
Hmm? I've just received a priority-one intercept from Ellesmere Island.
- Our research facility? - There's been a breach in security.
Someone has compromised the Alpha Project.
It appears to be Major Charles.
Jarod's father? - Jarod's father was at Ellesmere? - [Mr.
Lyle.]
Was and still could be.
Raines, I thought you made an aching void out of the good major a long time ago! - So did I.
- God, if the Triumvirate hears about this- [Raines.]
We must proceed with caution, but without delay.
Find out everything you can about Major Charles and this breach.
[Mr.
Parker.]
Raines, I thought you made an aching void out of the good major a long time ago! - So did I.
- God, if the Triumvirate hears about this- [Raines.]
We must proceed with caution, but without delay.
Find out everything you can about Major Charles and this breach.
No matter what it takes, no one is to know what went on there.
[Rewinding.]
- Jarod's father was at Ellesmere? - [Mr.
Lyle.]
Was and still could be.
[Man Narrating.]
There are Pretenders among us.
[Jarod.]
I was taken from my family.
Thirty-six hours and he's already demonstrating more talent than any of our others.
How many people died because of what I thought up? Since I broke out, I've spent every moment searching for my past.
[Miss Parker.]
He's a Pretender- A genius who can become anyone that he wants to be.
- The Centre wants him alive.
- Preferably.
[Miss Parker.]
He defends the weak and abused.
Life's a gift.
- You a doctor? - I am today.
- Repeat, 25-Bravo-Tango.
- [Man On Radio.]
You heard me.
I'm droppin' off another addition to your little Arctic oasis.
Check again, sport.
We're not scheduled for any new arrivals till spring.
My orders say you're gettin' a new scientist now.
You got a problem, you take it up with someone who cares.
I'm out of here.
Two hours of daylight's about up, and one hell of a front's headin'in.
Waah, waah, waah.
Captain, we got company.
[Groans.]
[Man.]
This place has quite a history.
It's built on top of the original station from 1920.
That first team, all eight of'em? Found 'em froze to death a year later.
Didn't even get the bodies out until the '40s.
It's been cursed here ever since.
Let's just say I have my reasons for being here.
See this photograph? I realize it's old, but I have reason to believe that this man was here recently.
- Did you bring him? - Not me.
You're the only person I've seen crazy enough to come up here in months.
The end of the road.
Maybe you should come in until this blows over.
It's getting worse.
I'd rather take my chances out here in this weather than inside of that place.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
Hey! Close the freakin' door! It's 40 below out there! It's actually 85 below with wind chill, but who's counting? Hi.
My name is Jarod, Jarod Meade.
You must be the welcoming committee.
No, I'm Smitty.
I run the comm.
What the hell are you doin' here? I'm a climatologist with Earthwatch.
I'm here to monitor weather systems.
- Oh, uh, like that El Niño thing? - Something like that.
- The chopper didn't leave, did it? - Hold on! Slow down! Ain't nobody goin' anywhere today.
The chopper's already gone.
No! I gotta get out of here before- [Unintelligible Shouts.]
Hey, you're gonna freeze to death if you go out there, pal.
All right, uh, get on the radio and call the chopper back.
I'm not gonna do that, Manny.
Eh- You- You get on that radio, and you call that chopper back! - Now! - I couldn't if I wanted to, man.
There's a storm comin'in.
There aren't gonna be no choppers for days.
- You're lyin'! - He's telling you the truth.
The chopper can't come back now.
- Who the hell are you? - My name is Jarod.
I can't get you out now, but I'll do whatever it takes to get you out as soon as possible.
You can do it? Put the bottle down.
Yeah.
Uh, I don't want to hurt no one, you know? I just, uh- I just can't stay here.
L- I gotta get out of here.
- It'll be okay, Manny.
- Your hand is bleeding.
- Is there a doctor here? - Yeah.
Um, l-I'm sorry, you know? I just, uh gotta get out of here before the- the Qallupilluit gets me.
Yeah.
- Did he cut me? - I think you're going to be okay.
Thanks, man.
You can hang your parka on a- on a hook there.
- Thanks.
Qallupilluit? - Yeah.
It's about a local legend or somethin'up here.
See, Manny's a geology tech.
He's a really nice guy but I think he's been blastin' a little too much dynamite lately.
I mean, he-he talks kinda crazy sometimes, but, uh I've never seen him that cranked up.
Well, when you're done here, I'll show you the rest of the freak show.
Now, what letters make a cook dishonest? Yes? [Together.]
"R.
" Put the "R" after "C" and "cook" becomes "crook.
" Very good.
And, um how do you make mice cold? You know, sometimes you two really scare me.
[Whispering.]
We're studying the effects of aging on memory processing and retrieval.
Using identical twins as controls.
Would it be possible for the both of you to stop playing Mr.
Wizard long enough for me to ask a question? - Sure.
- Absolutely.
- Something's going on with Mr.
Raines.
- When isn't there? He slithered into my father's office with Lyle and the troll.
Practically threw me out.
Oh, that must have been because of that priority-one intercept that Raines received.
- What intercept? - I didn't tell you? What? If Dr.
Freud can spare you from this sideshow I want you to find out what the other one's about.
Uh about those mice- You know, the first thing you learn is bein' on top of the world is the last place you want to be.
Oh, Captain! Captain, this is, uh, Jarod Meade.
He's doin'.
uh, hole-in-the-ozone research.
Put that damn thing out, will ya? Jarod.
- [Jarod.]
Hi, how are you? - Did I stutter, Smitty? Put it out.
Seeing as how I'm in charge, you want to explain how I haven't heard anything about this? [Jarod.]
You receive scientists from a variety of institutes.
I imagine that lines of communication get crossed from time to time.
- As I learned in the military- - Crossed communications get people killed.
Well, you say it all the time.
What I have here, Jarod, is people who track glacial flow monitor ocean temperatures and take core samples.
What I don't have are any orders for some Weather Channel veejay.
My authorization papers.
I'm here to evaluate the effects of ozone depletions for a congressional study.
- Senator Bruckmeyer himself? - Yes, sir.
Well, I'm gonna check this out.
Smitty, for now, put him in the, uh, guest quarters.
- [Manny.]
Thanks, Doc.
- This way, Ozone.
[Doc.]
You might want to wait a few days before you go blasting any new holes outside.
Here.
Keep that wrapped.
[Murmurs.]
- How's your hand? - A little sore.
Hello.
My name is Jarod.
- Raymond Moore.
The guys call me Doc.
- It's a pleasure, Doc.
I gotta admit.
We're all a little surprised to see you here.
By the looks on everyone's face, you don't get too many visitors around here.
Tour of duty's 12 months.
I'm the only one here on permanent assignment.
- I'm not sure if that makes me dedicated or crazy.
- Hm! Hey, Doc, I gotta show him where he's staying.
Come on.
Nice to meet you, Doc.
- You know, you gotta excuse our mess.
- [Man.]
You know what? You can just kiss my butt, all right? Lady, you are so full of it! You know what? I am not a lab rat, and I am sick and tired of you pickin' my brain.
So from now on, you know what you do? Stay the hell away from me.
- Joe, look, it- - It's Joe Taylor, all right? - Can you say that? Tay-lor! - Whatever.
- Exactly.
- What, Beth givin' you a hard time again? [Scoffs.]
Man, as long as she's breathin', all right? - Yo, so you must be the new, uh, El Niño guy.
- Wha- [Chuckles.]
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
How did you know? Word travels fast in the igloo, you know, with the echo and all.
[Electrical Crackling, Whining.]
Excuse me, ladies.
I got a generator to check.
You weren't askin'Joe Taylor about his feelings again, were ya? The problem is none of you guys have any.
Ah, cute.
Beth's up here in the freezer doin' her doctoral thesis in psych.
Oh.
Uh, I have a, uh friend of mine who's a psychiatrist.
Lucky you.
You'll need one after you've been up here for a while.
- What's she studying? - Us.
She's into the cabin-fever B.
S.
- you know, like, why people in Minnesota, they- they start blowin' their brains out and killin' each other when they get snowed in.
Has something like that happened here? Is that why she came? Uh, l-You know, l-l- I don't- She's got some fat grant from some outfit in Delaware.
The Centre.
Uh, hey, you know, maybe.
I don't know.
L-I'm- I'm just the radio geek.
Well, here we are- the guest quarters.
Well, uh, it ain't exactly the Westin, but, uh, the toilet flushes - most of the time.
- No wonder you don't get many visitors.
Well, make yourself at home.
I gotta get back to station.
Seems like everyone around here's a little sensitive about that subject- visitors, I mean.
Well, like Doc said, uh, we don't get no new blood.
No one? Has this man been here? You figure out a way to get me south of the 50th parallel maybe I'll tell you about all the weird stuff that goes on around here.
[Mellow.]
[Sniffing Deeply.]
- [Cell Phone Ringing.]
- [Raines Moaning.]
[Phone Beeps.]
Yes? What? Are you sure it's Jarod? No.
On the contrary.
This can work to our advantage.
I'll tell you when and how to proceed.
- [Cracking.]
- Oh! - [Beeps Off.]
- That's it.
That's the spot, Harry.
[Moaning.]
Raines, I thought you made an aching void out of the good major a long time ago! - So did I.
- God, if the Triumvirate hears about this- We must proceed with caution, but without delay.
Find out everything you can about Major Charles and this breach.
[Punches Key.]
What did you find? And are you still here? [Rattling.]
[Pounding.]
[Radio Chatter, Faint.]
[Classical.]
[Labored Breathing.]
[Computer Beeps.]
[Beeping.]
[Rapid Beeping.]
[Doorknob Rattling.]
[Rapid Typing.]
Hey! What do you think you're doing? I was just checking on the weather.
Hope you don't mind.
Well, I mind if you're using my computer! Well, my terminal hasn't been set up yet, so I thought we could share.
Uh, I don't "share.
" You don't smile much either, do you? - As a matter of fact, no one smiles much around here.
- Oh, please.
Even for a psychologist, it must be difficult to figure out who has cabin fever and who doesn't.
- What's that supposed to mean? - We all share the same cabin.
- Major Charles arrived at the station three weeks ago.
- Is he still there? - We're not sure.
- What about the project? The entire file has been accessed.
We must assume he knows everything.
- There's something else.
- What? - [Door Opens.]
- [Woman.]
Right this way.
[Chattering.]
Jarod has appeared, and he's still there.
Jarod? Well, get a Sweeper team up there right now! We've been trying.
The weather won't cooperate.
What about our inside- What about our inside people? Are they up to speed on this? Totally.
I've issued specific orders on how to handle everything, including Jarod.
We're covering all of our tracks.
We're just waiting to see what Major Charles's next move is.
- In other words, we're a day late and a dollar short.
- As usual.
[Wheels Squeaking.]
[Classical.]
- [Door Opens.]
- Hey! - What are you doin' down here this time of night? - [Door Shuts.]
[Volume Increases.]
- [Klaxon Blaring.]
- Smitty! Smitty! [Grunting.]
Aah! [Indistinct Shout.]
Get the lights! Get Doc! - Move over! - There's no pulse.
Smitty's dead.
Must have blacked out from smoke or solvent fumes.
Must've fallen, hit his head on the table corner, knocked himself out - died of smoke inhalation.
- That's a hell of a head injury for a table corner.
Doc, listen, I'll feel better if you get Smitty down to the infirmary give his body a closer look, all right? I'm not a pathologist, but I'll see what I can find out.
- I gotta call this in.
- Don't even bother.
This thing is busted.
- That's not good.
- Oh, my God! Is he dead? We have to notify the authorities and- and his family.
We can't.
The radio's completely shot.
We have no communication with the outside world.
- Yeah, so no one can hear us scream for help.
- Hey, Manny.
I told you.
The Qallupilluit's gonna get us! It's gonna get us all! Trapped in a storm, people are dying, no way out- This is like a dream come true for you, isn't it? [Scoffs.]
[Broots's Voice.]
You're never in your wildest dreams gonna believe this.
[Broots's Voice.]
You're never in your wildest dreams gonna believe this.
The intercept Raines received concerns a compromise of a secret Centre research site.
Why, let me guess: Jarod? No! Jarod's father.
Major Charles? - Where? - Well, uh I don't know where, and l- I don't- I don't know uh, what the project is yet.
Broots, I think you know how important this is to me.
I do, and I'm going back to work right now.
[Clears Throat.]
I know you believe thatJarod's father may be responsible for your mother's death- Is responsible for my mother's death- a score I intend to settle.
Don't let your desire for revenge cloud your judgment, Parker.
- If we ever find Major Charles- - [Beeping.]
He'll be much more valuable to us alive than he would dead.
- I didn't hear you come in.
- I came to offer my assistance with Smitty's autopsy but I guess I'm too late.
- I thought you were a weatherman, not a coroner.
- Let's just say I'm versatile.
Someone with more pathology experience should examine the body when we get him out of here.
- For now, I'm confident I've been able to establish the cause of death.
- [Clattering.]
- What'd you find out? - No surprises- mild concussion, no other signs of injury.
- Cause of death: Accidental, due to smoke inhalation.
- Accidental? It better be.
If it wasn't, then one of us did it.
- Jarod, let's talk.
- In a minute.
Jarod, right now! You mind tellin' me what that was back there? Smitty's death was not accidental.
Listen, pal, this place breeds cabin fever and paranoia.
If the doc says it was an accident, then it was.
Case closed.
There's more going on here than cabin fever, and Smitty knew it.
There's something very wrong here.
I can feel it and so do you.
If there's something goin' on here, that just makes the stress on the men that much worse.
- It's my job to keep this place from fallin' apart.
- Someone will come for us.
You taken a look out there lately? It'll be days.
Not even those crazy Inuits and their dog sleds go out in weather like this.
Until then, we are stranded.
I don't need any loose talk makin'things worse.
You understand? [Labored Breathing.]
[Relieved Sigh.]
You scared the hell out of me.
You mind if I join you? Is that yours? - My son.
- He's cute.
- You must be very proud.
- I never even seen him.
My wife found out she was pregnant just after I shipped up here.
Got two months left on my contract.
They won't let me go home.
I'm never gonna see him.
Of course you will.
You'll be going home soon.
No, I'm not.
No one's goin' home alive.
Manny.
Manny! Manny.
- What's Qallupilluit? - An old Inuit story about an evil creature that lives in the ice cracks.
It kills those that get too close.
Smitty said there was a stranger here.
Did you see anybody? The Qallupilluit is here.
It's under the station.
I hear him sometimes at night.
- Where under the station? - I don't know! I hear him from my bunk.
He's in the floor, in the walls, everywhere! This man was here.
Have you seen him? I want to see my son and my wife! - You promised you'd get me out of here! - Manny, Manny! Hey, hey, hey! Come on.
Manny, you all right? You okay? Look- [Clanging.]
Why don't you go to the doc and have him take a look at that, okay? Go ahead.
Manny's goin' through a lot of stress right now.
He doesn't need you makin' it worse, okay? - What's he so stressed out about? - It's none of your business.
You know, I really don't know who you are.
But ever since you showed up here, things have been going from bad to worse.
So why don't you just- Manny, what? What? - What? What? Talk to me, man! - It got- It got- It got Doc! - The Qallupilluit! It got Doc! - Get the captain.
Come on! Doc! Doc.
The incinerator! - Doc's death was no accident.
- You implyin' that one of us is a killer? I warned you the men were experiencing disturbing levels of isolation stress - and that they were at the breaking point! - You got somethin'to say? Say it, all right? It wasn't me! - Then why did you decide to go to the infirmary when you did? - I tore my stitches! When? When you were struggling with Doc, or when you threw him in the incinerator? - What? - Wait a minute! I know what you're doin'! You put things in people's minds that don't even belong there.
Don't walk away from me! [Beth.]
Get away from me! Back off, Joe! - Where was you when we found Doc? - Everybody, calm down! What did you say? What about you? - Maybe this is all of your doing, huh? - Maybe it wasn't any one of us.
Maybe there's someone here with us.
[Scoffs.]
What, like Manny's Qallupilluit? No, he's right, man.
I seen someone.
A man, comin'and goin'with the Inuits.
He was with them a couple of weeks ago.
Joe saw him too.
- No.
No, I didn't.
- Joe.
Joe, you saw him.
- You were with me, man.
- Joe Taylor, talk to us.
I caught a glimpse of him when they were deliverin' the supplies.
Did anybody see him leave? [Gasps.]
Joe Taylor, check the generator, then bolt the door to the mechanical room.
We lose power in a storm like this, it's a death sentence for all of us.
Manny, salvage whatever you can from the infirmary.
We may need it before this is over.
When you guys are finished, you come back in here.
- We're gonna stay together till we get help from the outside.
- If outside help arrives.
- Shut up! - Tell me, why are you the one that gets to keep the gun? 'Cause I am the one with the gun.
Now do what I told ya.
Come on, man.
Come on.
I have no idea what the hell's goin' on around here but I sure in hell am gonna find out.
[Mr.
Parker.]
Find out everything you can about Major Charles and this breach.
- Where did you get this? - Someone from within the Centre e-mailed a video of your father's office to an off-site location.
- All I had to do was retrieve the original feed.
- That's why they made me leave.
Good work.
Broots.
- Who sent it? - Well, it's hard to say.
- But I know who it was sent to.
- Jarod? Yeah.
From what I can tell, Major Charles found out - about something called the Alpha Project.
- Never heard of it.
- Neither have we.
- [Clears Throat.]
Well, whatever it is, it's being run from an Arctic research station funded by the Centre.
Obviously, Major Charles was there- may still be.
Cinch up your long johns, boys.
We're heading north.
Gonna heat things up a little bit.
[Mechanical Whining.]
[Labored Breathing.]
So everything is goin' like you planned.
Except for that guy, Jarod, man.
He's gonna be a problem.
So what do you want to do next? Angel, about yesterday, l- Wh-What are you doing? Isn't that the gun that, uh- When your mother was, uh- - Are you here for lunch, Daddy? - Something bothering you? Yeah.
Major Charles.
Why didn't you tell me about this? Well, you've been through enough.
I just didn't want to see you like this.
I'm going to Ellesmere, Daddy.
We don't even know whether Major Charles is still there.
What are you really afraid of? That I may find Major Charles- [Whispers.]
Or what drove him there? - [Screams.]
- It's just me.
It's just me.
- What are you doing? - All right, just calm down.
I'm not the killer, and I don't think you are.
Could we just talk? [Crying.]
No! Wait! Wait, please don't go.
I'm sorry.
I'm- Please, sit down.
I just- I think I'm losing it.
- What do you really think's going on around here? - I can't explain it.
It's like there's something insidious growing here- something that's destroying us all.
Like what? [Sniffles.]
Call it insanity or whatever you want.
It's the same thing.
You can see it in the eyes of the men.
It's the capacity for evil that lies dormant in all of us only something here is bringing it to life.
The visitor- the person who Manny saw.
- Was he this man? - Yeah, that's the guy.
It's a younger version ofhim, but that's the guy.
I saw him talking to the captain, and the captain gave him a package.
Beth, do you think he could still be here? Do you think this is the man who killed Doc and Smitty? It's possible.
I heard Doc tell the captain that he was dangerous and capable of doing anything which is why I came to get the knife.
I don't trust anyone- except maybe you.
Maybe.
[Electrical Crackling.]
- The generator.
- Oh, my God.
[Beth.]
Oh, my God! Joe! Joe! Don't touch him! [Beth Grunts.]
He's dead.
No, man! No! Joe, come on, get up, man! Stop playin' around, man! Get up! - You did this.
- Manny, come on now.
First you killed Smitty.
Then you burned up Doc.
Manny, stop it right there.
- Then you sentJoe Taylor in here to check on the generator.
- Manny- Please don't make me do this.
I'm not waitin' around to be next! - [Jarod.]
Captain, no! - Crazy bastard! You forced me to do that! You didn't have to shoot him! God, Manny, are you okay? We're gonna take you to the infirmary.
This'll stop the bleeding.
It's just a flesh wound.
He needs medical attention.
Is that right? - What are you doing? - I know I'm not the killer.
Jarod was with me when the power went out.
It couldn't be either one of us.
- Then maybe the both of you did it.
- [Jarod.]
Maybe it's none of us.
If you let me take a look at Smitty's body, maybe I can tell you who the killer is.
The only thing you're gonna take a look at is the inside of that storage locker where I'm gonna put you till I figure out what to do.
Now get him up! - Put us in there, man, 'cause I'm gonna kill you.
- Now! Worse than the Qallupilluit will ever get you, man.
I'm comin' after you, Captain! - Let's go! Let's go! - Comin'after you, man! - Let's go, people! Move! - It's gonna get you good! Manny, shut up! Wait a minute.
We got a problem.
I was here right before the power went out.
I know I locked this door.
What is it? Dynamite's missing.
So either the two of you are lying, or we are not alone.
[Manny.]
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
- That should do for now.
- Thanks.
Both the generators are blown.
We're gonna need these coats.
Manny? We're gonna get out of here now.
- What'd you find? - Your Qallupilluit.
What do you mean? If you want to find the killer, we have to find a dead man.
- [Broots.]
Wow! Sydney, look at those clouds.
- It's an Arctic front.
I've never seen anything like that.
Miss Parker, take a look.
I'll catch it in National Geographic.
How much longer? [Woman.]
Looks like I'm gonna have to put down for a few hours at a Canadian air base.
- Weather's still too rough to get any closer- - Great.
If we can't get in, they can't get out.
I don't understand.
What dead man? There's no sign of searing or smoke in his lungs.
- He was dead before the fire because of the blow to his head.
- Why would Doc lie? The scalpel that we all assumed killed Doc is covered with 0-positive blood.
But according to his chart, Doc's blood type was B-negative.
W-We saw the skeleton in the incinerator.
Remember your laboratory skeleton? It's missing.
- Doc killed Smitty? - [Beth.]
And faked his own death.
- But someone had to have helped him.
- Joe Taylor.
He was probably helping Doc all along.
When Doc faked his own death, he had to killJoe Taylor to cover his tracks.
Doc is still here doin' all this? Why? Maybe we should ask the captain.
What? You know more about what's going on in this place than you are letting on.
- I knew you were a part of this.
- He's not.
But he knew who the visitor was and why he was here.
It was you that Major Charles came to see in the first place.
What do you know about Major Charles? He's my father.
[Door Opens.]
Sorry, guys.
It's still gonna be 24 hours before we can get a chopper in there.
Thank you, Captain.
- [Door Shuts.]
- [Exhales.]
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
Are you prepared for what or who we may find out there? I'm not sure.
This is surreal.
So much of my life- my mother's death, the Centre, Jarod- all leading to this moment.
There's a sense of something ominous waiting for us.
- Overwhelming sense of impending doom? - What? - Nothing.
- I just hope we're not too late.
Your father and I served together in the air force- Circle of Fire Unit.
My wife and I were very close to him and to your mom.
We helped him search for you for years.
Several years after your disappearance, I heard that the major had been murdered.
A little over a year ago, your father contacted me.
- Why? - To tell me what the Centre had done to him and to his family.
You see, Jarod, he- he never stopped searchin' for you.
Then he found out what the Centre was workin'on here under cover of this research facility- - And he asked for your help.
- And I agreed.
The idea was to expose the plan and then hopefully reunite him with his family- with you.
My guess is there is another research facility on-site probably somewhere near.
It took me a little over eight months to come to the same conclusion.
It's right down here.
[Beth.]
This must be what's left of the original station from the '20s.
[Captain.]
With a slight modification.
Its own independent power source.
I finally found this place several weeks ago.
- I was able to get the evidence your father was lookin'for.
- [Beth.]
Evidence of what? What they were actually researching here.
[Jarod.]
This equipment- - It was used for amino-acid sequencing.
- Why would they need that here? They were doing genetic research.
Amino acids are sequenced in an infinite number of patterns which in turn form the basic building blocks for all life- D.
N.
A.
- In this case, human D.
N.
A.
- Dr.
Moore was working on the Human Genome Project.
More than working.
Dr.
Moore was a brilliant geneticist.
He had completed mapping the human genome years ago.
While the rest of science attempts what he's already achieved.
- What's a genome? - A genetic blueprint for human life.
- You mean he figured out God's cookbook for human beings? - Exactly.
But why hide such a significant discovery? Unleashing the secrets could be used to benefit mankind.
Or unleash a Qallupilluit.
What was the Centre planning on doing with this research? I don't know.
Your father discovered their secret.
- They're using this research to create a- - [Gunshot.]
[Screaming.]
[Doc.]
I knew when we met, you weren't here to watch the weather.
- What have you done with my father? - Unfortunately, nothing.
He found what he came for and left before I was able to stop him.
- If your father hadn't come, none of this'd be necessary.
- [Groaning.]
- You mean, killing everybody, you crazy son of a bitch? - Yes, Manuel.
- You took the dynamite.
- No one can ever know what happened here.
There's a timer set to detonate in three minutes, but you needn't fear that blast.
[Jarod.]
Beth, look out! [Gunshot.]
You okay? - [Manny.]
He's dead.
- [Shuddering.]
- Captain.
- [Gasping.]
- I'm going to get you out of here.
- There's no time.
You have to get Beth and Manny out of here before it blows.
Use this.
My friends at the Inuit camp monitor the same band.
- They'll help you like they helped your father.
- My father? I sent him to my daughter's.
You'll find him there.
Oh- Oh, God.
Give her this.
[Gasping, Shuddering.]
Tell my daughter I love her.
I will.
I promise you.
Captain, what was it that my father found here? It wasn't just any human genome they were working on.
It was yours.
[Panting.]
Captain.
Captain! - We have to go now.
- [Manny.]
Come on, man.
She's right.
We gotta go.
- [Beth.]
Jarod, come on! - [Beeps.]
- Jarod, now! - [Manny.]
Come on! [Dogs Yipping.]
Shut the door, please.
Yeah.
[Clears Throat.]
I thought maybe we could, uh, have lunch together.
Is something wrong? Why does something have to be wrong when a father asks his daughter to lunch? It doesn't.
It's just- I'm sorry, Daddy.
I didn't mean it that way.
Oh, that's all right.
I probably deserved it.
I just thought we could sit down and- [Clears Throat.]
talk for a while.
God knows you've- you've been through a lot, huh? - I would love to have lunch with you.
- Good.
Good.
- We need to speak with you, alone.
- Not now, Raines.
- It'll have to wait.
- It can't.
- [Chuckles.]
- [Brigitte.]
Sweetheart.
[Kissing.]
- Ooh! - Ooh! That's okay, Daddy.
I seem to have lost my appetite anyway.
I'm sorry, angel.
We'll try another time.
Hmm? I've just received a priority-one intercept from Ellesmere Island.
- Our research facility? - There's been a breach in security.
Someone has compromised the Alpha Project.
It appears to be Major Charles.
Jarod's father? - Jarod's father was at Ellesmere? - [Mr.
Lyle.]
Was and still could be.
Raines, I thought you made an aching void out of the good major a long time ago! - So did I.
- God, if the Triumvirate hears about this- [Raines.]
We must proceed with caution, but without delay.
Find out everything you can about Major Charles and this breach.
[Mr.
Parker.]
Raines, I thought you made an aching void out of the good major a long time ago! - So did I.
- God, if the Triumvirate hears about this- [Raines.]
We must proceed with caution, but without delay.
Find out everything you can about Major Charles and this breach.
No matter what it takes, no one is to know what went on there.
[Rewinding.]
- Jarod's father was at Ellesmere? - [Mr.
Lyle.]
Was and still could be.
[Man Narrating.]
There are Pretenders among us.
[Jarod.]
I was taken from my family.
Thirty-six hours and he's already demonstrating more talent than any of our others.
How many people died because of what I thought up? Since I broke out, I've spent every moment searching for my past.
[Miss Parker.]
He's a Pretender- A genius who can become anyone that he wants to be.
- The Centre wants him alive.
- Preferably.
[Miss Parker.]
He defends the weak and abused.
Life's a gift.
- You a doctor? - I am today.
- Repeat, 25-Bravo-Tango.
- [Man On Radio.]
You heard me.
I'm droppin' off another addition to your little Arctic oasis.
Check again, sport.
We're not scheduled for any new arrivals till spring.
My orders say you're gettin' a new scientist now.
You got a problem, you take it up with someone who cares.
I'm out of here.
Two hours of daylight's about up, and one hell of a front's headin'in.
Waah, waah, waah.
Captain, we got company.
[Groans.]
[Man.]
This place has quite a history.
It's built on top of the original station from 1920.
That first team, all eight of'em? Found 'em froze to death a year later.
Didn't even get the bodies out until the '40s.
It's been cursed here ever since.
Let's just say I have my reasons for being here.
See this photograph? I realize it's old, but I have reason to believe that this man was here recently.
- Did you bring him? - Not me.
You're the only person I've seen crazy enough to come up here in months.
The end of the road.
Maybe you should come in until this blows over.
It's getting worse.
I'd rather take my chances out here in this weather than inside of that place.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
Hey! Close the freakin' door! It's 40 below out there! It's actually 85 below with wind chill, but who's counting? Hi.
My name is Jarod, Jarod Meade.
You must be the welcoming committee.
No, I'm Smitty.
I run the comm.
What the hell are you doin' here? I'm a climatologist with Earthwatch.
I'm here to monitor weather systems.
- Oh, uh, like that El Niño thing? - Something like that.
- The chopper didn't leave, did it? - Hold on! Slow down! Ain't nobody goin' anywhere today.
The chopper's already gone.
No! I gotta get out of here before- [Unintelligible Shouts.]
Hey, you're gonna freeze to death if you go out there, pal.
All right, uh, get on the radio and call the chopper back.
I'm not gonna do that, Manny.
Eh- You- You get on that radio, and you call that chopper back! - Now! - I couldn't if I wanted to, man.
There's a storm comin'in.
There aren't gonna be no choppers for days.
- You're lyin'! - He's telling you the truth.
The chopper can't come back now.
- Who the hell are you? - My name is Jarod.
I can't get you out now, but I'll do whatever it takes to get you out as soon as possible.
You can do it? Put the bottle down.
Yeah.
Uh, I don't want to hurt no one, you know? I just, uh- I just can't stay here.
L- I gotta get out of here.
- It'll be okay, Manny.
- Your hand is bleeding.
- Is there a doctor here? - Yeah.
Um, l-I'm sorry, you know? I just, uh gotta get out of here before the- the Qallupilluit gets me.
Yeah.
- Did he cut me? - I think you're going to be okay.
Thanks, man.
You can hang your parka on a- on a hook there.
- Thanks.
Qallupilluit? - Yeah.
It's about a local legend or somethin'up here.
See, Manny's a geology tech.
He's a really nice guy but I think he's been blastin' a little too much dynamite lately.
I mean, he-he talks kinda crazy sometimes, but, uh I've never seen him that cranked up.
Well, when you're done here, I'll show you the rest of the freak show.
Now, what letters make a cook dishonest? Yes? [Together.]
"R.
" Put the "R" after "C" and "cook" becomes "crook.
" Very good.
And, um how do you make mice cold? You know, sometimes you two really scare me.
[Whispering.]
We're studying the effects of aging on memory processing and retrieval.
Using identical twins as controls.
Would it be possible for the both of you to stop playing Mr.
Wizard long enough for me to ask a question? - Sure.
- Absolutely.
- Something's going on with Mr.
Raines.
- When isn't there? He slithered into my father's office with Lyle and the troll.
Practically threw me out.
Oh, that must have been because of that priority-one intercept that Raines received.
- What intercept? - I didn't tell you? What? If Dr.
Freud can spare you from this sideshow I want you to find out what the other one's about.
Uh about those mice- You know, the first thing you learn is bein' on top of the world is the last place you want to be.
Oh, Captain! Captain, this is, uh, Jarod Meade.
He's doin'.
uh, hole-in-the-ozone research.
Put that damn thing out, will ya? Jarod.
- [Jarod.]
Hi, how are you? - Did I stutter, Smitty? Put it out.
Seeing as how I'm in charge, you want to explain how I haven't heard anything about this? [Jarod.]
You receive scientists from a variety of institutes.
I imagine that lines of communication get crossed from time to time.
- As I learned in the military- - Crossed communications get people killed.
Well, you say it all the time.
What I have here, Jarod, is people who track glacial flow monitor ocean temperatures and take core samples.
What I don't have are any orders for some Weather Channel veejay.
My authorization papers.
I'm here to evaluate the effects of ozone depletions for a congressional study.
- Senator Bruckmeyer himself? - Yes, sir.
Well, I'm gonna check this out.
Smitty, for now, put him in the, uh, guest quarters.
- [Manny.]
Thanks, Doc.
- This way, Ozone.
[Doc.]
You might want to wait a few days before you go blasting any new holes outside.
Here.
Keep that wrapped.
[Murmurs.]
- How's your hand? - A little sore.
Hello.
My name is Jarod.
- Raymond Moore.
The guys call me Doc.
- It's a pleasure, Doc.
I gotta admit.
We're all a little surprised to see you here.
By the looks on everyone's face, you don't get too many visitors around here.
Tour of duty's 12 months.
I'm the only one here on permanent assignment.
- I'm not sure if that makes me dedicated or crazy.
- Hm! Hey, Doc, I gotta show him where he's staying.
Come on.
Nice to meet you, Doc.
- You know, you gotta excuse our mess.
- [Man.]
You know what? You can just kiss my butt, all right? Lady, you are so full of it! You know what? I am not a lab rat, and I am sick and tired of you pickin' my brain.
So from now on, you know what you do? Stay the hell away from me.
- Joe, look, it- - It's Joe Taylor, all right? - Can you say that? Tay-lor! - Whatever.
- Exactly.
- What, Beth givin' you a hard time again? [Scoffs.]
Man, as long as she's breathin', all right? - Yo, so you must be the new, uh, El Niño guy.
- Wha- [Chuckles.]
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
How did you know? Word travels fast in the igloo, you know, with the echo and all.
[Electrical Crackling, Whining.]
Excuse me, ladies.
I got a generator to check.
You weren't askin'Joe Taylor about his feelings again, were ya? The problem is none of you guys have any.
Ah, cute.
Beth's up here in the freezer doin' her doctoral thesis in psych.
Oh.
Uh, I have a, uh friend of mine who's a psychiatrist.
Lucky you.
You'll need one after you've been up here for a while.
- What's she studying? - Us.
She's into the cabin-fever B.
S.
- you know, like, why people in Minnesota, they- they start blowin' their brains out and killin' each other when they get snowed in.
Has something like that happened here? Is that why she came? Uh, l-You know, l-l- I don't- She's got some fat grant from some outfit in Delaware.
The Centre.
Uh, hey, you know, maybe.
I don't know.
L-I'm- I'm just the radio geek.
Well, here we are- the guest quarters.
Well, uh, it ain't exactly the Westin, but, uh, the toilet flushes - most of the time.
- No wonder you don't get many visitors.
Well, make yourself at home.
I gotta get back to station.
Seems like everyone around here's a little sensitive about that subject- visitors, I mean.
Well, like Doc said, uh, we don't get no new blood.
No one? Has this man been here? You figure out a way to get me south of the 50th parallel maybe I'll tell you about all the weird stuff that goes on around here.
[Mellow.]
[Sniffing Deeply.]
- [Cell Phone Ringing.]
- [Raines Moaning.]
[Phone Beeps.]
Yes? What? Are you sure it's Jarod? No.
On the contrary.
This can work to our advantage.
I'll tell you when and how to proceed.
- [Cracking.]
- Oh! - [Beeps Off.]
- That's it.
That's the spot, Harry.
[Moaning.]
Raines, I thought you made an aching void out of the good major a long time ago! - So did I.
- God, if the Triumvirate hears about this- We must proceed with caution, but without delay.
Find out everything you can about Major Charles and this breach.
[Punches Key.]
What did you find? And are you still here? [Rattling.]
[Pounding.]
[Radio Chatter, Faint.]
[Classical.]
[Labored Breathing.]
[Computer Beeps.]
[Beeping.]
[Rapid Beeping.]
[Doorknob Rattling.]
[Rapid Typing.]
Hey! What do you think you're doing? I was just checking on the weather.
Hope you don't mind.
Well, I mind if you're using my computer! Well, my terminal hasn't been set up yet, so I thought we could share.
Uh, I don't "share.
" You don't smile much either, do you? - As a matter of fact, no one smiles much around here.
- Oh, please.
Even for a psychologist, it must be difficult to figure out who has cabin fever and who doesn't.
- What's that supposed to mean? - We all share the same cabin.
- Major Charles arrived at the station three weeks ago.
- Is he still there? - We're not sure.
- What about the project? The entire file has been accessed.
We must assume he knows everything.
- There's something else.
- What? - [Door Opens.]
- [Woman.]
Right this way.
[Chattering.]
Jarod has appeared, and he's still there.
Jarod? Well, get a Sweeper team up there right now! We've been trying.
The weather won't cooperate.
What about our inside- What about our inside people? Are they up to speed on this? Totally.
I've issued specific orders on how to handle everything, including Jarod.
We're covering all of our tracks.
We're just waiting to see what Major Charles's next move is.
- In other words, we're a day late and a dollar short.
- As usual.
[Wheels Squeaking.]
[Classical.]
- [Door Opens.]
- Hey! - What are you doin' down here this time of night? - [Door Shuts.]
[Volume Increases.]
- [Klaxon Blaring.]
- Smitty! Smitty! [Grunting.]
Aah! [Indistinct Shout.]
Get the lights! Get Doc! - Move over! - There's no pulse.
Smitty's dead.
Must have blacked out from smoke or solvent fumes.
Must've fallen, hit his head on the table corner, knocked himself out - died of smoke inhalation.
- That's a hell of a head injury for a table corner.
Doc, listen, I'll feel better if you get Smitty down to the infirmary give his body a closer look, all right? I'm not a pathologist, but I'll see what I can find out.
- I gotta call this in.
- Don't even bother.
This thing is busted.
- That's not good.
- Oh, my God! Is he dead? We have to notify the authorities and- and his family.
We can't.
The radio's completely shot.
We have no communication with the outside world.
- Yeah, so no one can hear us scream for help.
- Hey, Manny.
I told you.
The Qallupilluit's gonna get us! It's gonna get us all! Trapped in a storm, people are dying, no way out- This is like a dream come true for you, isn't it? [Scoffs.]
[Broots's Voice.]
You're never in your wildest dreams gonna believe this.
[Broots's Voice.]
You're never in your wildest dreams gonna believe this.
The intercept Raines received concerns a compromise of a secret Centre research site.
Why, let me guess: Jarod? No! Jarod's father.
Major Charles? - Where? - Well, uh I don't know where, and l- I don't- I don't know uh, what the project is yet.
Broots, I think you know how important this is to me.
I do, and I'm going back to work right now.
[Clears Throat.]
I know you believe thatJarod's father may be responsible for your mother's death- Is responsible for my mother's death- a score I intend to settle.
Don't let your desire for revenge cloud your judgment, Parker.
- If we ever find Major Charles- - [Beeping.]
He'll be much more valuable to us alive than he would dead.
- I didn't hear you come in.
- I came to offer my assistance with Smitty's autopsy but I guess I'm too late.
- I thought you were a weatherman, not a coroner.
- Let's just say I'm versatile.
Someone with more pathology experience should examine the body when we get him out of here.
- For now, I'm confident I've been able to establish the cause of death.
- [Clattering.]
- What'd you find out? - No surprises- mild concussion, no other signs of injury.
- Cause of death: Accidental, due to smoke inhalation.
- Accidental? It better be.
If it wasn't, then one of us did it.
- Jarod, let's talk.
- In a minute.
Jarod, right now! You mind tellin' me what that was back there? Smitty's death was not accidental.
Listen, pal, this place breeds cabin fever and paranoia.
If the doc says it was an accident, then it was.
Case closed.
There's more going on here than cabin fever, and Smitty knew it.
There's something very wrong here.
I can feel it and so do you.
If there's something goin' on here, that just makes the stress on the men that much worse.
- It's my job to keep this place from fallin' apart.
- Someone will come for us.
You taken a look out there lately? It'll be days.
Not even those crazy Inuits and their dog sleds go out in weather like this.
Until then, we are stranded.
I don't need any loose talk makin'things worse.
You understand? [Labored Breathing.]
[Relieved Sigh.]
You scared the hell out of me.
You mind if I join you? Is that yours? - My son.
- He's cute.
- You must be very proud.
- I never even seen him.
My wife found out she was pregnant just after I shipped up here.
Got two months left on my contract.
They won't let me go home.
I'm never gonna see him.
Of course you will.
You'll be going home soon.
No, I'm not.
No one's goin' home alive.
Manny.
Manny! Manny.
- What's Qallupilluit? - An old Inuit story about an evil creature that lives in the ice cracks.
It kills those that get too close.
Smitty said there was a stranger here.
Did you see anybody? The Qallupilluit is here.
It's under the station.
I hear him sometimes at night.
- Where under the station? - I don't know! I hear him from my bunk.
He's in the floor, in the walls, everywhere! This man was here.
Have you seen him? I want to see my son and my wife! - You promised you'd get me out of here! - Manny, Manny! Hey, hey, hey! Come on.
Manny, you all right? You okay? Look- [Clanging.]
Why don't you go to the doc and have him take a look at that, okay? Go ahead.
Manny's goin' through a lot of stress right now.
He doesn't need you makin' it worse, okay? - What's he so stressed out about? - It's none of your business.
You know, I really don't know who you are.
But ever since you showed up here, things have been going from bad to worse.
So why don't you just- Manny, what? What? - What? What? Talk to me, man! - It got- It got- It got Doc! - The Qallupilluit! It got Doc! - Get the captain.
Come on! Doc! Doc.
The incinerator! - Doc's death was no accident.
- You implyin' that one of us is a killer? I warned you the men were experiencing disturbing levels of isolation stress - and that they were at the breaking point! - You got somethin'to say? Say it, all right? It wasn't me! - Then why did you decide to go to the infirmary when you did? - I tore my stitches! When? When you were struggling with Doc, or when you threw him in the incinerator? - What? - Wait a minute! I know what you're doin'! You put things in people's minds that don't even belong there.
Don't walk away from me! [Beth.]
Get away from me! Back off, Joe! - Where was you when we found Doc? - Everybody, calm down! What did you say? What about you? - Maybe this is all of your doing, huh? - Maybe it wasn't any one of us.
Maybe there's someone here with us.
[Scoffs.]
What, like Manny's Qallupilluit? No, he's right, man.
I seen someone.
A man, comin'and goin'with the Inuits.
He was with them a couple of weeks ago.
Joe saw him too.
- No.
No, I didn't.
- Joe.
Joe, you saw him.
- You were with me, man.
- Joe Taylor, talk to us.
I caught a glimpse of him when they were deliverin' the supplies.
Did anybody see him leave? [Gasps.]
Joe Taylor, check the generator, then bolt the door to the mechanical room.
We lose power in a storm like this, it's a death sentence for all of us.
Manny, salvage whatever you can from the infirmary.
We may need it before this is over.
When you guys are finished, you come back in here.
- We're gonna stay together till we get help from the outside.
- If outside help arrives.
- Shut up! - Tell me, why are you the one that gets to keep the gun? 'Cause I am the one with the gun.
Now do what I told ya.
Come on, man.
Come on.
I have no idea what the hell's goin' on around here but I sure in hell am gonna find out.
[Mr.
Parker.]
Find out everything you can about Major Charles and this breach.
- Where did you get this? - Someone from within the Centre e-mailed a video of your father's office to an off-site location.
- All I had to do was retrieve the original feed.
- That's why they made me leave.
Good work.
Broots.
- Who sent it? - Well, it's hard to say.
- But I know who it was sent to.
- Jarod? Yeah.
From what I can tell, Major Charles found out - about something called the Alpha Project.
- Never heard of it.
- Neither have we.
- [Clears Throat.]
Well, whatever it is, it's being run from an Arctic research station funded by the Centre.
Obviously, Major Charles was there- may still be.
Cinch up your long johns, boys.
We're heading north.
Gonna heat things up a little bit.
[Mechanical Whining.]
[Labored Breathing.]
So everything is goin' like you planned.
Except for that guy, Jarod, man.
He's gonna be a problem.
So what do you want to do next? Angel, about yesterday, l- Wh-What are you doing? Isn't that the gun that, uh- When your mother was, uh- - Are you here for lunch, Daddy? - Something bothering you? Yeah.
Major Charles.
Why didn't you tell me about this? Well, you've been through enough.
I just didn't want to see you like this.
I'm going to Ellesmere, Daddy.
We don't even know whether Major Charles is still there.
What are you really afraid of? That I may find Major Charles- [Whispers.]
Or what drove him there? - [Screams.]
- It's just me.
It's just me.
- What are you doing? - All right, just calm down.
I'm not the killer, and I don't think you are.
Could we just talk? [Crying.]
No! Wait! Wait, please don't go.
I'm sorry.
I'm- Please, sit down.
I just- I think I'm losing it.
- What do you really think's going on around here? - I can't explain it.
It's like there's something insidious growing here- something that's destroying us all.
Like what? [Sniffles.]
Call it insanity or whatever you want.
It's the same thing.
You can see it in the eyes of the men.
It's the capacity for evil that lies dormant in all of us only something here is bringing it to life.
The visitor- the person who Manny saw.
- Was he this man? - Yeah, that's the guy.
It's a younger version ofhim, but that's the guy.
I saw him talking to the captain, and the captain gave him a package.
Beth, do you think he could still be here? Do you think this is the man who killed Doc and Smitty? It's possible.
I heard Doc tell the captain that he was dangerous and capable of doing anything which is why I came to get the knife.
I don't trust anyone- except maybe you.
Maybe.
[Electrical Crackling.]
- The generator.
- Oh, my God.
[Beth.]
Oh, my God! Joe! Joe! Don't touch him! [Beth Grunts.]
He's dead.
No, man! No! Joe, come on, get up, man! Stop playin' around, man! Get up! - You did this.
- Manny, come on now.
First you killed Smitty.
Then you burned up Doc.
Manny, stop it right there.
- Then you sentJoe Taylor in here to check on the generator.
- Manny- Please don't make me do this.
I'm not waitin' around to be next! - [Jarod.]
Captain, no! - Crazy bastard! You forced me to do that! You didn't have to shoot him! God, Manny, are you okay? We're gonna take you to the infirmary.
This'll stop the bleeding.
It's just a flesh wound.
He needs medical attention.
Is that right? - What are you doing? - I know I'm not the killer.
Jarod was with me when the power went out.
It couldn't be either one of us.
- Then maybe the both of you did it.
- [Jarod.]
Maybe it's none of us.
If you let me take a look at Smitty's body, maybe I can tell you who the killer is.
The only thing you're gonna take a look at is the inside of that storage locker where I'm gonna put you till I figure out what to do.
Now get him up! - Put us in there, man, 'cause I'm gonna kill you.
- Now! Worse than the Qallupilluit will ever get you, man.
I'm comin' after you, Captain! - Let's go! Let's go! - Comin'after you, man! - Let's go, people! Move! - It's gonna get you good! Manny, shut up! Wait a minute.
We got a problem.
I was here right before the power went out.
I know I locked this door.
What is it? Dynamite's missing.
So either the two of you are lying, or we are not alone.
[Manny.]
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
- That should do for now.
- Thanks.
Both the generators are blown.
We're gonna need these coats.
Manny? We're gonna get out of here now.
- What'd you find? - Your Qallupilluit.
What do you mean? If you want to find the killer, we have to find a dead man.
- [Broots.]
Wow! Sydney, look at those clouds.
- It's an Arctic front.
I've never seen anything like that.
Miss Parker, take a look.
I'll catch it in National Geographic.
How much longer? [Woman.]
Looks like I'm gonna have to put down for a few hours at a Canadian air base.
- Weather's still too rough to get any closer- - Great.
If we can't get in, they can't get out.
I don't understand.
What dead man? There's no sign of searing or smoke in his lungs.
- He was dead before the fire because of the blow to his head.
- Why would Doc lie? The scalpel that we all assumed killed Doc is covered with 0-positive blood.
But according to his chart, Doc's blood type was B-negative.
W-We saw the skeleton in the incinerator.
Remember your laboratory skeleton? It's missing.
- Doc killed Smitty? - [Beth.]
And faked his own death.
- But someone had to have helped him.
- Joe Taylor.
He was probably helping Doc all along.
When Doc faked his own death, he had to killJoe Taylor to cover his tracks.
Doc is still here doin' all this? Why? Maybe we should ask the captain.
What? You know more about what's going on in this place than you are letting on.
- I knew you were a part of this.
- He's not.
But he knew who the visitor was and why he was here.
It was you that Major Charles came to see in the first place.
What do you know about Major Charles? He's my father.
[Door Opens.]
Sorry, guys.
It's still gonna be 24 hours before we can get a chopper in there.
Thank you, Captain.
- [Door Shuts.]
- [Exhales.]
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
Are you prepared for what or who we may find out there? I'm not sure.
This is surreal.
So much of my life- my mother's death, the Centre, Jarod- all leading to this moment.
There's a sense of something ominous waiting for us.
- Overwhelming sense of impending doom? - What? - Nothing.
- I just hope we're not too late.
Your father and I served together in the air force- Circle of Fire Unit.
My wife and I were very close to him and to your mom.
We helped him search for you for years.
Several years after your disappearance, I heard that the major had been murdered.
A little over a year ago, your father contacted me.
- Why? - To tell me what the Centre had done to him and to his family.
You see, Jarod, he- he never stopped searchin' for you.
Then he found out what the Centre was workin'on here under cover of this research facility- - And he asked for your help.
- And I agreed.
The idea was to expose the plan and then hopefully reunite him with his family- with you.
My guess is there is another research facility on-site probably somewhere near.
It took me a little over eight months to come to the same conclusion.
It's right down here.
[Beth.]
This must be what's left of the original station from the '20s.
[Captain.]
With a slight modification.
Its own independent power source.
I finally found this place several weeks ago.
- I was able to get the evidence your father was lookin'for.
- [Beth.]
Evidence of what? What they were actually researching here.
[Jarod.]
This equipment- - It was used for amino-acid sequencing.
- Why would they need that here? They were doing genetic research.
Amino acids are sequenced in an infinite number of patterns which in turn form the basic building blocks for all life- D.
N.
A.
- In this case, human D.
N.
A.
- Dr.
Moore was working on the Human Genome Project.
More than working.
Dr.
Moore was a brilliant geneticist.
He had completed mapping the human genome years ago.
While the rest of science attempts what he's already achieved.
- What's a genome? - A genetic blueprint for human life.
- You mean he figured out God's cookbook for human beings? - Exactly.
But why hide such a significant discovery? Unleashing the secrets could be used to benefit mankind.
Or unleash a Qallupilluit.
What was the Centre planning on doing with this research? I don't know.
Your father discovered their secret.
- They're using this research to create a- - [Gunshot.]
[Screaming.]
[Doc.]
I knew when we met, you weren't here to watch the weather.
- What have you done with my father? - Unfortunately, nothing.
He found what he came for and left before I was able to stop him.
- If your father hadn't come, none of this'd be necessary.
- [Groaning.]
- You mean, killing everybody, you crazy son of a bitch? - Yes, Manuel.
- You took the dynamite.
- No one can ever know what happened here.
There's a timer set to detonate in three minutes, but you needn't fear that blast.
[Jarod.]
Beth, look out! [Gunshot.]
You okay? - [Manny.]
He's dead.
- [Shuddering.]
- Captain.
- [Gasping.]
- I'm going to get you out of here.
- There's no time.
You have to get Beth and Manny out of here before it blows.
Use this.
My friends at the Inuit camp monitor the same band.
- They'll help you like they helped your father.
- My father? I sent him to my daughter's.
You'll find him there.
Oh- Oh, God.
Give her this.
[Gasping, Shuddering.]
Tell my daughter I love her.
I will.
I promise you.
Captain, what was it that my father found here? It wasn't just any human genome they were working on.
It was yours.
[Panting.]
Captain.
Captain! - We have to go now.
- [Manny.]
Come on, man.
She's right.
We gotta go.
- [Beth.]
Jarod, come on! - [Beeps.]
- Jarod, now! - [Manny.]
Come on! [Dogs Yipping.]
