The Last Winter
Alaska. Vast wilderness
of the North.
and diversity.
This is rugged country.
Land of black gold.
Alaska's north slope
has been producing oil...
out of Prudhoe Bay since 1969.
Delivering to refineries and ports
eight hundred miles to the South...
through the great
Trans Alaskan Pipeline.
But another northern region...
known as the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge...
has remained untapped.
Only once have prospectors gained
access to this barren landscape.
In nineteen eighty-six,
KIC Corporation...
a partnership between native
and business interests...
commissioned the drilling
of a test well.
The results of that drilling have been
a carefully guarded secret ever since...
with only a solitary white box...
marking the footprint,
where the rig once stood.
Now, at last, after an historic
vote in congress...
the KIC Well will
reveal her secrets...
and North industries will be there.
Working in consort with
environmental experts...
North Industries will send
advanced teams to map the area...
and determine strategic
drilling locations.
Ice roads will be constructed...
to transport the rigs...
and drill sites and pipe lines...
will be operational
within the decade.
One step closer
to energy independence.
We have got the vision,
the experience, the know-how.
North Industries:
Trust. Risk. Results.
Jesus Christ, Ed, I could
use a longer runway.
Sounds like a personal problem Gary.
It's on my list, that's for sure.
Go get my gear, will you?
- Going ahead.
- Motor! Rise and shine!
Where's Abby?
Where's my welcoming party?
Abby god damn it, you're beautiful.
You took my room!
I want it back.
With you in it.
Sorry, Ed. How you doing?
Hundred percent, Abby.
Hundred and twenty.
- Yeah, I put on a few pounds.
- Well, you know...
Is that Ed Pollack here?
Dawn, baby, you're a sight
for sore eyes.
How's that new exercise
regime going?
Okay.
Put me down, dinner's almost ready.
Lee, pipe down, will you?
You're far too excitable.
Yeah, Lee, pipe down.
It is good to see this team
taking shape here.
The big boys, they send their love,
everybody's gearin' up.
Where's the kid?
Maxwell is out on the flats.
Should be back by now.
I'm supposed to keep my eye on him,
for the old man.
Gary's taken off,
he wanted to beat the snow.
I wanted him to stay for a drink.
Dawn, find some glasses, will you?
Boy, he's sure in a hurry.
What have you got in the bag, boss?
Mind your damn manners, Motor.
Hey, Dawn, where's those glasses?
Oh, this is Elliot Taylor.
He is doing the impact evaluations.
was named Hoffman.
That's my boss.
They sent two guys?
Is this what you were
looking for, Motor?
A little fish, cigarettes...
This one looked sexy.
- Oh, that looks nice.
- Stooges...
And... more fish.
Is this going to be Maxwell?
- Hi.
- Hi.
James Hoffman, meet Ed Pollack.
How are you doing?
I'm doing fine.
- Raven?
- That's right.
This thins came off the wing of a
female common raven. Corvus Corax.
- Corvux Corax?
- Before your time.
Listen up, this is what
l wanna say.
I know you've all been in a holding
pattern and I wanna apologize for that.
These ice roads have been
a b*tch to get in...
and Hoffman can give you
the reason for that.
Ah, it's not cold enough.
Hell, it feels cold as a witch's
boob out here to me.
Well, you need a sustain sub-zero...
to build ice-roads.
Well, then find me some sub-zero.
I mean, we're in f***ing Alaska!
It's the Arctic Circle!
It's the dead of winter here.
That's exactly the problem.
The temperature's been all over the place.
So, how is it you came to work
for North? I mean, you're not the type.
We don't work for North.
We work for the American people...
to make sure that North keeps its end
of the bargain up here being on this land.
is energy independence.
That's what the American
people want.
Hell, the amount of oil that they're
gonna get out of here...
they could save by inflating their
tires and caulking their windows.
Hoffman knows all that crap.
He's an oil geek.
He was at the Kuwaiti oil
field fires.
Right? And Valdez?
He was there when
the Titanic went down.
It appealed to me to come
to the last piece of pristine...
untouched wilderness on the planet,
before we f*** it up.
So, if North is willing to pay me
to be here, then, so be it.
Maxwell, you're on my team.
Here we go, Pipe Dogs, here we go!
- What about the dart finals?
- Here we go, Pipe Dogs.
Dawn? Dawn?
You're gonna be my center over here.
Okay, you got it, Ed.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
I think we'll call you House" out here.
What do you think of that, Maxwell?
That's okay, Mr. Pollack.
- You can call me Ed, House.
- Yes, sir.
What do I say, hike?
You're gonna go to the right,
you go to the left.
- One, two, three.
- Go!
- Hut! Hut! Hut! Hut!
- I don't even know the rules.
Come on, house, run!
Go! Get him!
Give me some love, bro!
- I got it.
- You can't kick it.
Don't run!
- Okay he's down, he's down!
- We're here, we're here!
Flag on the play.
- I got it!
- Yes! You got it!
Yeah, baby!
- What happened?
- Hike!
Go long, go long!
Max! Max!
That's pass interference, Elliot!
- Are you okay?
- Sorry, I didn't see you, the ball...
Are you okay, Elliot?
Step aside.
