Whiteout Page #2

Synopsis: U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko is three days from the end of her tour at an international research station in Antarctica after which she'll resign. An incident from her past haunts her. The continent's first winter storm is coming when a body, wearing no gear, is discovered in the tundra. She investigates, soon finds more bodies, and must find a motive and a murderer before the storm and her departure. A U.N. agent, Robert Pryce, appears, seemingly out of nowhere, to help. An aging physician about to retire, a nervous mission chief, a downed Soviet plane, and the weather's deadly elements add to the story. Can Carrie trust Pryce and does she still have what it takes?

Weiss.

Weiss. Yeah, I knew him.

Yeah, we wintered with him last year,

played cards a couple times.

- He's the one that cheated.

- The geologist.

Yeah.

Damn. Damn, damn.

What were you doing

all the way out here?

- Watch this.

- Yes.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Got it.

- Million-year-old ice, right?

- Yes.

- Ten-year-old whiskey. Yeah?

- Ten-year-old whiskey.

This is cool.

Out of the way.

Ugh!

Move it!

Out of the way.

It bothers me that nobody's

reported him missing yet.

Maybe no one thinks he is.

What's this?

Well, let's find out.

It's a fresh wound.

- Somebody treated him in the field.

- Yeah.

And they were in a hurry.

What's happened up here?

Oh, my God.

What could have caused that?

Rough edges around the wound.

Ice ax, something like that.

So we got a geologist

out at Haworth Mesa.

He injures his leg, has it stitched...

...then manages to climb

a 100-foot ice wall...

...falls onto his own ax, which isn't

found anywhere near the body?

Doc, this wasn't an accident.

This means a federal investigation.

We're witnesses.

I know you wanna get out of here, Carrie,

and the last plane leaves in two days.

We could be stuck here for the winter.

Can you handle that?

No.

I mean, God, I don't know.

Say the word, I'll bag the body,

put it on the plane for McMurdo.

Let them sort it out. No big deal.

I won't take no for an answer, Jack.

I have plans Saturday.

Microwave popcorn and a six-pack

is not plans. We're clear.

Go.

How we doing? Good.

Why don't you get some sleep?

You earned it.

That was all you today.

Carrie.

So it was a popsicle.

But please, next time you find a dead body,

don't parade him down the corridor.

Sam, he was murdered.

- You sure?

- Yeah, I'm sure.

His name was Weiss.

He was one of ours. We gotta call it in.

Yeah.

See how the FBI wants to handle it.

- What camp's he with?

- I don't know. I gotta talk to McGuire.

131, confirming to

instruct Departure 133.0, Squad 4233.

Anton Weiss.

Michael Rubin. John Mooney.

- What do they do at that camp?

- One One is an ablation zone.

- English?

- It's a good place to find meteorites.

It's right there.

Well, Weiss was nowhere near that camp

when we found him.

Wait a minute. Weiss?

A few days ago, someone

from Delta-One One called, looking for him.

I asked around, but nobody had seen him.

Didn't you think it was odd that they called

here looking for one of their own guys?

Not at the time.

Was that the last communication you had

with that camp?

Let me see.

What's their frequency?

Delta-One One, South Pole, this is

United States Marshal Carrie Stetko, over.

Delta-One One, South Pole,

this is United States Marshal Stetko.
