l came halfway around the world to look|for something that's important to me.

Jerry, please, you...

You gotta take chances|for the things you care about.

Half the day on the east slope.

But l want to be back|on that sled tomorrow by noon.

Hey, we're running|out of time here, doc.

lt looks like a basalt,|but it's like nothing l've ever seen.

- Jerry!|- Doc! Doc, don't move.

That area's unchecked.|l told you to stay inside the flags.

Oh, my God. This is it!

Great, doc. Stay still.

l'm glad you found your rock,|but let's get you out of there.

Just follow your footsteps out.|Step right in your footprints.

Man, l knew l could find it! Huh?|What'd l tell you? This is it.

Half a day! Thank you.

Now that you scared the hell out of me,|can we go home now?

Whoa. Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa! Easy there, team! Easy.

Whoa!

Whoa! Wait, doc! Don't move!

Doc! Doc!

Doc! Hey! Don't tread water!

Don't tread water!

Look at me! You see the ice? Davis.

Grab the ice!|lt'll freeze you to it!

lt takes you a lot longer to freeze|than it does to drown!

Good, good!|Davis, hang on! l'm coming down!

All right, kids, come on!

Hang on, doc!

Maya, come here.

but l want you to reach up|with your right arm.

You gotta get your elbow|and your arm up through the loop.
