The Last Winter Page #3

increase over same week...

same quadrant average

of last 5 years.

Oh, it's you again.

You messed up all my stuff, hum?

Was that you?

Beggar.

Something up here is off.

It's in the numbers, but,

also l can feel it.

Maxwell?

Maxwell. Over.

I don't know why they don't lay tarmac

down at the start of these projects...

instead of f***ing around

with these ice roads.

That would be a violation

of the terms...

that got North industries

onto this land.

Well, my onIy concern

is getting my equipment in.

My onIy recommendation is that we

wait for a sustained temperature drop.

I'll tell you what.

Change of plans.

We're gonna bring the rigs

in on Rollagons.

Rollagons?

Has that been approved?

Everybody's behind it back

at the office.

Nobody wants to miss the season.

That's gonna be very expensive.

Rollagons would cause serious

damage to the tundra...

with the temperatures this high.

Well, luckily I don't have to have

this discussion with you.

I need Hoffman.

Where the f*** is he?

I don't know.

He was coming right back.

I need for him to sign off on this.

This is what I came back here for.

We should be careful

how we handle that.

Motor, what's up?

We're a little busy here.

Maxwell's not back yet, I'm worried.

The skidoo was acting up,

maybe it conked out on him.

- Abby, what's going on?

- Where the hell have you been?

Maxwell's not back.

He's not answering the walkie.

He's not answering?

You need any help?

I wouldn't worry about Maxwell.

He could walk from here

to Vegas on his hands.

- Maxwell, do you read?

- Where you been?

You guys didn't get any kind

of a sudden wind down here?

Anything strange like that happened?

Yeah, we had a meeting

and you never showed up.

That was strange.

Lee, let's go.

Look, I am sorry

about being late.

We need to talk, you and me.

We don't need the others.

I don't know you...

and I'm not gonna try to handle this

with some diplomatic mumbo-jumbo.

I'm just gonna tell you what I need,

and I'm gonna expect you to deliver.

Go ahead.

I got environmental impact

statements I need you to sign...

saying we can bring the rigs

in on Rollagons.

What?

The ice roads aren't working...

it's what we gotta do.

Okay.

What, is that a "yes"?

I'll look at your proposal.

It's not a proposal.

It's an okay.

I need you to sign.

I'm not gonna sign something

just 'cause you need me to.

I think we should make

sure Maxwell's back...

safe before we get into this.

Foster? Yeah.

He's... he's not biting.

We should go through with that.

That's it.

- You should call her.

- I just tried. Nothing.

These things ever work?

Maxwell was bound to get

lost eventually.

Is that right?
