- [Narrator] Previously on Arctic Air.
- If I'm gonna stick around full partners.
- You want my company, it's yours.
The two of you,
figure out a way to run it between you.
- I've met somebody while I was in Bali.
Everybody this is Tag.
- You could have told me that he was coming
more than a minute before he walked in the door.
- I wanted to.
- But you thought I was still in love with you.
- Come on.
- More power Krista,
punch it.
- This is all she's got.
- We're not gonna clear those trees.
- Everything socked in,
I can't see a thing.
But this must be where her plane went down.
- Bobby listen to me,
fly east.
Get out of it now,
can't help Krista by getting yourself killed.
Bobby, do you copy?
- I'll be back tomorrow.
- I'm not saying cancel your trip,
just postpone it.
- Already did twice.
Look, we've got a meeting with a paramedic set up
for Monday morning for search and rescue.
Can you sit in?
- I'm flying the Hydro guys to Port Radium.
- Make sure Blake knows.
Don't forget to call Dike Smithers.
Tell him we still want his Bell 412 parts.
- How are we gonna pay for that?
- Maybe I'll have a bake sale when I get back.
Did you put Blake and Dev on the Inuvik run today?
- Yeah, but it would make me feel a lot better,
if it was you shaking Ted's hand.
- All he wants is his mining equipment to show up on time.
They can handle it.
- You can't put Astrid on Hay River.
- Doctor cleared her.
- Why didn't I know about that.
- Because you don't check your email.
- I'm too busy taking orders.
- Okay.
Time to go.
- Have you gone through all the rampy resumes?
I wanna set up interviews for Thursday and Friday.
- Krista we survive for three months without you.
We can get through the next 24 hours.
- Yes, of course.
I just.
- Look, you've been working flat out.
You deserve a night of wild sex.
- It's weird, he's only been out there for two weeks,
but I miss him like,
more than I should.
- Of course you do.
You're in love with him.
- I think I am.
- Cool.
No guilt.
How many times have you had his back on much shorter notice.
- You can never leave this company.
You know that, right.
- Have fun.
- Where you going?
- You know where I'm going Mel.
- To run off with your boyfriend
while the company goes down the crapper.
- Yeah.
That's the plan.
- Who's gonna check out that sweetheart of
a deal I lined up?
- Tag and I are gonna check out the Cessna
on our way back tomorrow.
- Oh, so we run every aircraft by Tag now do we.
- I'm checking out the plane,
but you know he went to MIT.
- And dropped out.
- Don't pretend this is some great addition to the fleet.
It's a single engine, two seater,
the company won't miss when you decide to take off
and go fishing.
- Call me from the air.
Let me listen to her.
- I don't have to do this.
You and Cece could go.
- We booked this trip months ago,
took Cece doing to convince Marie she'd love being alone
with seven kids for a week.
- And I wouldn't dream of making you change your plans.
- Safe flight.
- Thanks, dad.
("Heads up! Watch Out!")
Room for one more?
- Sure.
- Sorry, I thought you were.
I was looking for Tag.
- Oh, you must be Krista.
I'm Hannah.
- Where's Tag?
- He left yesterday.
Yeah, a couple of the guys from the kayaking company
came by to check on us yesterday
and they were flying up to Fort Simpson to catch a band
and Tag decided to go with them.
Of course. Right.
- Is he coming back?
- I don't know.
He's an amazing guy.
- Yeah.
- He's been everywhere.
We started calling him the travel Nome.
- Do you know where he's staying?
- I think one of the guys said he had a friend there.
They were gonna crash at her place.
- Yeah, It was nice to meet you.
- Oh, if you find him,
tell him there's still time to change his mind.
I want him to come to the Antarctic with me,
research trip.
We could really use an experienced diver.
- I'm surprised he turned you down.
- Yeah he said he wasn't done seeing the north yet.
I'm guessing he meant you.
You're lucky.
- Your timing is impeccable.
- Thanks for your business.
Hope to see again soon.
I was looking for our cargo so we can get outta here.
- Well, where is it?
- It's still at the site,
the truck broke down.
- We will go home and come back when it is here.
- Yeah no, I talked to Bobby.
He said we wait.
- Overnight.
- Yeah.
- No, no, no, no.
The doctor finally cleared Astrid for physical activity.
We were going to celebrate in the house where Krista
and Tag will not be.
- Yeah, I know it sucks.
I was supposed to meet my girlfriend at Bollocks tonight.
- What girlfriend?
- Exactly I was hoping to meet one.
Hello?
- Hey, How are things going?
Was Ted happy?
- Yeah.
I already talked to Bobby yet.
Wait, are you calling me from your kayak?
- No, there's been a change of plans.
I'm on my way to Fort Simpson to check out a Cessna for Mel.
- Is Tag with you.
- Nope.
- Oh.
- I set up a meeting with a paramedic for Monday morning.
Can you be there?
- Yeah yeah,
I'll be there.
So what's going on?
- With what?
- You didn't call to ask about meetings.
- If you knew your girlfriend was flying in.
Would you take off to see a band?
- Depends on the band.
- You haven't seen your girlfriend in two weeks.
- Well, did he know for sure you were coming in today?
- I was supposed to be there yesterday.
- Right Right.
So he probably thought you couldn't make it.
- Right.
Well, he left a message with two babes in bikinis, so.
- Oh,
Krista you still there?
- Just feel like an idiot.
Thought this was more than extended fling.
- Yeah. I mean, if it helps, we thought it was too.
- We.
- Well me,
Dev and Astrid and Loreen.
You guys seemed really real.
- I shouldn't have called.
- No, no, no, no.
It's fine.
Anytime.
- I'll see you tonight.
- Actually Dev and I are stuck.
Hello?
- That was Krista.
- Yeah.
- She called you for advice about her boyfriend.
- Yeah. I guess she wanted a guy's opinion.
- If Astrid crushed my heart like Krista did to you
and later sought my romantic advice.
I think I would hang up and compose a very tess email.
- Which you would never send.
- That is likely true.
- It's been almost two years.
Just want each other to be happy.
- I do not know why I always assume
the accommodations will be nicer.
- Yeah well, we'll flip to the bed later.
Let's go something to eat.
- I think we both know who will
end up sleeping in the bathtub.
Perhaps if I drink enough,
it will seem more appealing.
- Hey, you found me.
- It would've been easier
if you'd left a number with Hannah.
- Yeah,
I didn't know where I'd end up crashing.
- You knew I was coming to meet you.
- Yeah yesterday, when you didn't show,
I figured you couldn't get away.
But this is a good surprise.
- I bumped up the meeting to go look at the Cessna,
I don't wanna keep the owner waiting.
- So when Krista was away,
Astrid and I spent a good deal of time at home.
But with Krista there and now Tag,
Astrid and I go to the movies a lot.
- When is Tag ever there,
seems like he's always sailing
or rock climbing or something.
- Oh no no.
He's most definitely living there.
Even when he is not physically present,
Krista is Skyping him, boning him and sexting him.
- Why are you doing this?
- Promised Mel I would check it out,
so I'm checking it out.
- I'm not talking about the plane.
- She's been a great little puddle jumper for me
and my wife.
My son learned to fly on her.
- You got the maintenance records.
My mechanics bringing 'em.
He should be here by four.
- You want me to take a look?
- You're not a mechanic.
- We were expecting you tomorrow.
So when you called.
- Can I take her out for 20 minutes?
- You'll be in love with her in 10.
- Your ice mate is coming this way.
- This is a land in the midnight sun,
end of the dumpster highway,
home to North America's most Northern greenhouse.
- It is a lovely town with so much to offer.
- You're missing all the attractions sitting in this hole.
- I'm not missing anything.
- Aren't you sweet.
You weren't spending a day drinking in a dump like this.
I might be interested in knowing you.
- I would've left an hour ago,
but then you walked in.
I'm Blake.
This is Dev.
- Too clean for a Rig-pig,
too rough for an executive.
Prospector?
- We are pilots.
- Where do you fly?
- We travel all over the north.
- You'd be a good friend to have.
- What time do you get off.
- Well I guess that'll be up to you.
- Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to get away?
And then you couldn't even be bothered to wait for me.
- I did wait for you, for two weeks.
- You knew I couldn't get away until the end of your trip.
- I'm not interested in being one more thing on your list.
Do you wanna be with me or not?
- I do.
- When your schedule allows.
- What am I supposed to do?
Quit my job.
- Of course not.
Why is it doing that?
Probably just a bad plug.
- Fort Simpson radio,
this is Cessna 1 5 2
Charlie, Oscar, Alpha.
Charlie, Lima.
Over.
Do you read?
We're Cessna 1 5 2.
Charlie, Lima,
about 30 miles west of Fort Simpson.
Does anybody copy?
Nothing
- It was working when we took off.
Do you want the Sat phone?
- Do you smell burning oil??
- Is that coming from The engine?
- Yeah.
- How far to the airport?
- Too far, we need to get down now.
- Where?
- That is the question.
- Smokes getting in here.
- Plug it with something now.
- What was that?
- Wind shear.
- Tell me what to do.
- Call in your karmic favors.
There.
- Can you land that tight?
- Try and relax.
I'm gonna do my best to keep us alive.
- Great.
- You okay?
- Love scratch, you know how amazing you are?
- Hey get out,
breath some air.
Grab the rag.
I'm hoping the spark plug was just shorted
by the leaking oil.
- I wonder what's causing the leak.
- Probably something any idiot would've
caught in a half-ass check.
Not me.
- Yeah, we'd be too dead to have this conversation
if it weren't for you.
- Why don't we go somewhere?
- Won't your boss might.
- I quit hours ago.
- That's crazy.
- I hate this place.
Take me outta here.
- I know we're back firing.
- Great.
So it'll be quiet till the smoke and flames engulf us.
- Oh, I did help you make a ball in the DC-3.
I'm sure between the two of us, we can find an oil leak.
- I'm gonna hike up higher.
See if I can get a Sat signal.
- Bobby.
- Hey guys.
Well right, sun never sets in July.
I had no idea it was so late.
- Don't sweat it.
But you are the third base on empire tonight.
- Krista took off to see her boyfriend
and dumped everything on me.
- Don't worry about it,
but we gotta go, game starts at nine.
- Ah, Petra.
I'm sorry, it's so crazy.
- You don't have to come.
- Are you kidding?
I'm not gonna miss your game.
- Bobby.
- Yeah.
- Shane McClury called.
- Who?
- Guy selling the Cessna,
said Krista stole his plane.
He's threatening to call the cops.
- Did you call Krista?
- Yeah, no answer on the radio or the Sat phone.
- Where was her test flight.
- Out of Fort Simpson.
She told Shane she'd be 20 minutes,
that was six hours ago.
- This loser waited till now to call.
Sorry guys, I gotta deal with this.
- Mom, it's fine.
Let's just go.
- Hey, I'm sorry.
I'll see you tomorrow okay.
- Yeah.
- Good luck.
- Come on.
We don't wanna be late.
- Oh, oh.
- Dev
Oh. I'm sorry.
- I put the sign out.
- I am so sorry.
I am going now.
Perhaps there is another bathtub I can sleep in.
- That was.
- I've already forgotten.
- Me too.
- Any luck.
- I'll try over there in the morning.
- Relax.
You haven't stopped a second since we landed.
- We're gonna get eaten alive out here.
- There's nothing more we can do tonight.
Look around you.
People pay thousands to experience wilderness like this.
- We have no food, water, First aid.
- Come on.
- No radio, no Sat signal, no flares,
no gun.
Do I need to go on?
- Shane's missing his plane.
People are gonna come looking for us.
- Where do they even start?
We didn't file a flight plan.
The ELTS missing.
- We're not that far from Fort Simpson.
- 30 Miles.
That's a search radius of 1800 square miles of wilderness.
We're about as easy to spot as fleas on bison
from 6,000 feet
- Bear.
- Okay bear bison, whatever.
It's impossible.
Don't move,
slowly back up.
Keep watching him, but don't look him in the eye.
- Slowly, slowly.
Go,
go away.
- Get outta here, go
- Easy.
Easy.
Easy
Go inside now.
Well, you said you wanted to see a bear.
- Yeah, from a kayak with a fast one in current between us.
- Let's hope this tin can is enough.
- He's probably just looking fed
enough for the winter right.
- Did I mention we don't have a gun.
- Isabella.
- Good morning.
Bear finally left around dawn.
Maybe he went to get his can opener.
- What are you doing?
- I think the rocker covers loose.
Not something anybody would catch in pre-flying,
foil leaked in hit the exhaust.
- Smoking flames.
Did you learn that at MIT before he dropped out?
- No, when I was 13 my dad bought a Trans Am,
father and son bonding.
Right.
Then he got promoted, started working 24/7
and I hardly saw him until I left for college.
But I did learn a couple things about old engines.
- Well Cessna not a Trans Am and now our engines in pieces.
So I guess there goes any hope of us flying outta here.
- You thought that it was hopeless before I pulled it apart.
You were gonna hike to go find a Sat signal.
- That was before the bear showed up.
I'm not gonna hike anywhere now without a gun.
If it comes back, this is all we've got.
- All right. Well then I'll make sure I leave the doors on.
- If you had any concept of how totally screwed we are.
- Thanks Cliff.
Keep be posted if you hear anything.
Will do.
Okay, that's it.
We've talked to everyone between here and Fort Simpson.
- Based on weather yesterday.
I'm guessing she would've done a test flight around here.
- Pretty rugged terrain.
- Yes.
- Old single engine plane,
something went wrong.
Odds, heart didn't turn out well.
Did you call search and rescue again?
- No change.
They can't deploy anything until tomorrow.
Cancel the skid, send every pilot we've got,
I'm flying out there now.
- Should we tell Mel.
- Let me find her first.
- The clouds are moving in different directions.
Wind's coming in from the east.
Listen.
- What?
- Nothing.
There's no bird song.
There's a storm coming.
- Ha.
Yes I was right, look.
See the oil here leaking right onto the exhaust.
- Well, great.
So you've confirmed what we already know.
We're not getting outta here.
- No, I think I can fix it.
- With an army knife.
- Yeah, so far so good.
- If oil leaks on the engine while we're flying,
this whole thing could explode.
- So what we just sit here and do nothing.
You made it clear nobody's ever gonna find us.
- I said it was unlikely.
- We can either try to get outta here or starve to death.
Is that about right?
If we keep working at cross purposes, we are screwed.
I can do this, but I need your help.
- If that storm hits, there's no taking off.
- Know what, forget about the storm.
I'm not spending one more night out here with that bear.
He's probably coming back, with friends.
- Blake
Blake.
Where's Blake.
- I thought he was with you.
Are you all right?
- My husband, he came home last night.
- Husband?
- From the mine, who wasn't expecting him for another week.
- Did Blake know that-
- When I got home this morning,
Len asked me where I'd been.
- I hope you concocted a very convincing lie.
- Everybody at the bar saw us together.
As soon as Len leaves the house, he'll hear about it.
You have to take me with you please.
- I am sure you and Blake ha had a good time,
but things are suddenly becoming quite serious.
- It's just a ride.
Just get me to Yellowknife
and I'll figure out the rest from there.
- Blake is the captain,
you'll have to talk to him.
- Look, I don't always make great choices.
- Running away is perhaps further proof of that.
- Lens's temper is.
Let's just say I'd rather have a thousand kilometers
between us what he finds out.
- Excuse me.
I'm Looking for Isabella.
- No, no you're not.
- The hell you want with my wife pretty boy.
- Your wife,
nothing, I was just looking for a friend
different Isabella.
- There's only one,
and Griff here tells me she last night with some pretty boy.
- Look, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
- Now she's crazy.
But you.
- Should probably go.
- You came to my town,
you banged my wife
and now you think you're just gonna walk outta my bar.
You're crazier than she is.
- Last night was the first time we didn't make love.
- No food, no water.
Bear threatening to rip open the plane.
Can't imagine what spoiled the mood.
- Would've taken our minds off some of that.
- Maybe it was the fact that when I came meet you,
I met a half clad Hannah instead.
- All right it's about the third time you've mentioned her.
What exactly do you think happened?
- Don't know wasn't there.
- But you working with two of your exes,
that's no problem right?
- Bobby and I are just good friends.
We never should have tried to make it more.
- And Blake, he's your pal too.
- That was two years ago.
- Yeah, but it was serious wasn't it.
- We were engaged.
- Engaged.
- For like 12 hours.
- And.
- It didn't work out.
- Let me take a wild guess here and say
you shut 'em out.
The bolts are stripped.
I can't re-attach it.
Go ahead, say it.
I wasted our time.
- How many bolts do you think this thing
actually needs to fly?
- Dev let's go.
Dev
- Blake.
Blake I have to tell you.
Isabella is married.
- Yeah. Yeah. I know.
- And her husband.
- I met him. Okay.
Look, we'll talk at 6,000 feet.
We gotta go.
We're heavy.
I've got the plan,
you've got the instruments okay.
- Yes, I will be right there.
- Dev get up here now.
- Is that the husband?
- Yeah.
- How did he find you?
I went looking for Isabella.
- Why would you.
- I liked her, I wanted to say goodbye.
Look, can we just go?
Okay. Tell me if the needles leave the green.
- Okay.
- The door.
- Wait Dev.
Hurry up.
- No, no no no
- You cannot.
- Get out of my way.
- Get off, get off
My apologies.
I think we will both regret this.
- Hang on Dev.
- Taking off in a broken plane from a postage stamp of dirt,
headlong into a gale.
- You promised me Northern adventure.
- Now when I'm make a promise.
- You really deliver.
- Here's two more.
I'm sorry.
For getting you stuck out here.
- Don't be,
we're gonna make it back.
And when we do,
I'll hit the road with a good story.
These are too big.
Can you grab me about four more bolts,
half the size.
- I take out any more bolts.
This whole thing's gonna fall apart.
- Babe.
Find me four more,
let's get the outta here.
- Hello.
- Bobby,
there's a massive storm moving in from the east.
Any sign of it where you are?
- I'm in it.
Anything yet?
- No.
- How many eyes?
- Six planes looking now,
but they're all turning back to wait out the storm.
- I'll call you when I find her.
- You sure you fixed it?
- Yes.
Are you sure you can fly in this?
- Yes.
- Are we being brave or stupid?
- Stupid would be letting this moment pass.
We've got the chance,
we have to take it.
- No no,
attacking the pilot is a very bad idea.
- Screwing my wife was a bad idea.
- Please sit down.
- She's in there with him now, isn't she?
We just laughing a big dumb land.
I'm gonna kill him both.
- She's not here.
We left her behind so the two of you could work things out.
- There's nothing to work.
- This might be one of those
not great choices you mentioned.
- No backfiring, do you smell anything?
- Other than my own fear?
No burning oils if that's what you mean.
- It's not too late to change your mind.
- I'm not changing my mind.
- Okay.
- Come on.
- More power, Krista punch it.
- This is all she's got.
- We're no gonna clear those trees.
- Everything is socked in,
I can't see a thing.
- You need to get out of there,
they've upgraded the storm to severe
- I'm gonna drop down for a better look.
- Bobby don't be stupid.
Bobby do you copy?
- Come on.
- I get it bang a pilot,
get a free flight outta town.
- I didn't plan this okay,
it just happened.
- Oh yeah like whoops,
you just slipped and land.
- Oh, just such a pig.
- I'm a pig.
- Dev you okay?
- Don't worry about us,
you just fly.
- I've been faithful to you okay.
Five years not so much as a lap dance.
- Wow, what a sacrifice?
- Tremendous willpower.
- Did you think I wasn't gonna find out.
- Perhaps we should all sit down.
- Whole town saw you leave with the guy.
- Well maybe if you were ever around,
I wouldn't have slept with him.
- Oh, he's dead.
- No, no, no, no, no.
- Stay away from him.
- Blake.
- Come on.
Him over me.
- Take another step,
find out.
- Let's not find out.
- Leave Dev outta this,
he had nothing to do with it.
- Blake.
- Where are you?
- We're just outside of Inuvik heading south Southeast but
- Change course divert east,
nasty system over the McKenzie mountains.
- Loreen
We have psychos on board.
- Okay we gotta find a way out of this,
cause through is not gonna work.
- Is it the storm or is the plane falling apart?
- Here's where we find out if we pull too many bolts.
- How far back to Fort Simpson?
- 20 Minutes straight into the storm,
We can't risk it.
- Are you trying for Yellowknife?
- Yeah.
- If we can just get to the other side of the system.
- Isn't that a lot farther.
- With this headwind three hours,
on the bright side we might have just a fuel left.
- What was that?
- Panel on my side right beside the wing.
Guess we need that bolt.
- You still wanna try for Yellowknife.
- We're on the edge of a storm flying away from it.
If we're falling apart in this,
what's it gonna do if we flying right into it
- I talked you into this.
- No, no you didn't.
Sitting around waiting for someone else to rescue me,
that is not in my DNA.
- I'd say me neither.
Except right now it feels like you're rescuing me
and I'm not complaining.
- There's still time.
It's a long flight.
- Bobby.
What happened?
- Wind shear caught me,
thought I was going down.
I didn't find them.
- It's okay.
They called, they're coming home.
- Copy,
coming home.
- When you're back, all you do is drink and fight.
- Yeah so I don't have to be alone with you.
- This is a stressful situation,
I am sure you do not mean that.
- You don't have worry about that,
cause I'm not coming back
- Get the hell out of my way.
- Serious Len,
I can't do this anymore.
- Perhaps now is not the best time.
- Just stop,
you're not gonna kill the pilot while he's flying the plane.
You don't want us all dead.
- She makes an excellent point.
- Well you're leaving me anyway,
so why the hell not.
- No Len.
- Don't move.
- Oh, gimme that.
- Okay.
Put your hands together, like this.
And you put that knife away.
See it down and buckle up.
I'll throw you both out.
- Don't you threaten my wife.
- She tried to kill you.
- Yeah.
But I still love her.
- I know.
- I'm sorry.
- Me too.
- Never thought I'd be so happy to see Yellowknife.
- Just hope the I took out of the landing
aren't gonna be a problem.
- Oh, so dark and twisted.
- Don't go slying my hometown.
- I've been thinking about my next move.
- Yeah.
I'm sure you've had your fill of the north.
- Feeling pretty humbled by it.
- You were right about Blake.
I did shut him out
and I'm sorry.
I freaked out.
I don't want you to remember me like that.
- Remember you.
- When you leave,
I want you to remember us like how we were in Bali.
- Bali was great,
but it wasn't real life.
- It was for three months.
- Being up here with you, seeing you in your element.
I'm not ready to leave.
- Yeah you say that now,
wait till it's 30 below.
- Krista I'm serious.
I'd rather freeze my ass off all winter
than be away from you.
Than unless you don't want that.
- I want.
- Just try it Shane,
I'll counter sue for criminal negligence.
You want it back come and get it.
- Bobby.
- Thanks for coming.
- Figure out who I'm arresting yet.
- The husband or the wife.
Maybe both.
- Take care.
- Oh my God.
Oh my God.
- There's my answer.
- Thanks.
- Don't move.
- My wife hadn't screwed you,
I might have lost her forever.
- No no it's okay,
I'm not pressing charges.
- These people very nearly caused an emergency.
- Misunderstanding.
It's resolved.
- Well, if you change your mind.
Give me a call.
- We're home.
- Well thanks for getting us down alive,
again.
- I'll see inside.
- Hey,
what do you think,
should we buy it?
- You scared the hell out of me.
- Yeah well, not exactly the day off I have planned.
- I'm serious.
I can't lose you.
- Well, that's just cause you don't wanna run this place
all by yourself.
- I was a jerk to you before you left.
- Well I dumped a lot on your plate.
- I'm your partner,
that's what my plate's for.
- Thanks.
- This was a wake up call.
I need you in my life.
Like you used to be.
- Bobby.
I want my best friend back.
- Me too.
