Just make sure she|doesn't come up.

Listen...

Did you reach Bart?

David, did you|tell them not to come?

To call for help?

- Yes, I did.|- Thank God.

Nuti is...

And I'm...

I'm not much better.

Uh, just put your stuff|in the back there, guys.

- Evy.|- Hey, Bart.

Well... shoot.

You weren't supposed|to come up.

- What?|- That's what he said.

I was supposed to give you some|sort of paperwork when I got back.

So he doesn't even|want me to come up there?

I'm sure he's got his reasons.

You know what? I don't really|care what he says. I'm coming.

Uh... Uh... Evy?

Listen...

...that's going to put me|in a really tight spot, see...

- 'cause...|- Sorry, Bart.

Yeah, you see, I kinda...|I promised him...

Okay.

Ground Control, this is Major Tom.|We're outta here, man.

This is Ground Control.|You're cleared for takeoff.

Did I hear that you're|David Kruipen's daughter?

Yeah.

No way. That...|it must be so cool.

Yeah, he's my hero.

Is it true that|when he was younger...

...he sabotaged a pipeline|that was blocking...

- Migratory caribou?|- I guess so, yeah.

Huh, sure has changed.

It's okay, buddy.|It's okay.

I'll wrap him in plastic...

...just in case.

Make sure it's sealed.

We need to protect ourselves...

...until we're ready.

Are you okay?

No.

Ready for what?

Edward, ready for what?

Look at that ice.

Yeah, she's breaking up|more and more every year.

It's terrible.|When are we gonna wake up?

It's not that easy, buddy, not when|people's lifestyles are at stake.

What are you|implying, Federico?

I'm just saying that we can't ignore|the reality of what we're up against.

Somebody's got|to take responsibility.

Okay, sure, but what are we|really doing to stop it?

I mean really stop it?

Look at Kruipen. He's attacking|the problem from the inside out...

- Changing how people think.|- What if we don't have that much time?

Maybe the best way to change|how people think is to...

...blow something up,|you know?
