What about you? You got somebody?

Are you kidding me?

l'm here six months a year|dragging scientists around.

What kind of woman|would put up with that?

How about Katie?|Looked like you might've had something.

Yeah. A couple years ago we did.

You know how it goes. Sometimes|it works, sometimes it doesn't.

l guess relationships|don't fit my lifestyle.

Anyhow, come on. Let's go outside, guys.

We're gonna get an early start tomorrow.|Come on. Come on, Max.

Come on, Max.

All right, whoa!

Doc, hold it. Put on the brake,|l'm gonna take it from here.

Yeah, got it. Whoa!

What do you say?

- That's something else.|- That's Melbourne.

- That's your home for the next week.|- Beautiful.

Ready, now! Hike!

Victoria,|this is McMurdo Weather. Come in.

Victoria? This is McMurdo Weather.

This is Victoria. We copy you, Mactown.

Hi, Andy. It's Steve.|Jnst checking statns on your team.

We've got four at the base|and two in the field. Over.

Snggest you bring them in.

We have two massive|low pressnre systems moving sonth.

Control wants you in early|jnst to be safe. Over.

Copy that, Mactown. Over and out.

Get Jerry on the radio.

Wanna sling me a cup of that|when you get a chance?

Yeah, sure thing.

- You got her?|- Yeah, thanks.

How's that looking there?

Well, everything points|to the spot that we're on.

The next couple days|are gonna tell us a lot.

Field base to Melbourne. Come in.

Base to Melbourne. Come in.

Jerry?

Jerry, do you read me? Over.

Yeah, go for Melbourne. That you, Katie?

Jerry, we got a call from Mactown.

...major storm coming in. Over.

You'll have to go again.|We're in a bad spot here.

Jerry... back to field base.|Do you copy?

We got a major storm coming in.|Mactown wants you in right away. Over.

All right. Copy that. We'll be back.

When do we expect this storm?

Katie?

Sorry, doc. Looks like|we're gonna have to pack up.

- Well, when do we have to leave?|- We leave first thing, tomorrow.

- Listen, Jerry...|- You heard what she said.

Now, Jerry, look. l cannot|go back without at least trying.

Yeah, well, that's not your call.

No. lt's not.

There's a major storm coming in,|all right?

Not a minor one, but a major.

Down here there's a big difference|between the two.

My job as your guide|is to get you back home in one piece,

and that's exactly what l'm gonna do.

But Jerry, we're talking|about a rock from another world.

This ice floe might give us the first|meteorite from the planet Mercury.

That could lead us|to discoveries we can't imagine.

When you climb a mountain,|go up a river,

the exciting part isn't what you know|is there. lt's what you don't know.

lt's what you might find,|and it's the same here.
