Look at that ice down there.|That's melting fast.

What do you think?

Oh... You don't want to know|what I think.

Sure we do.

Honestly, I think that people|are incapable of change...

...and our days are numbered. Might as well|enjoy the place while we can.

See? That's exactly|what I'm talking about.

Nobody's willing to make|any sacrifices.

Thar she blows.

There's no power.

What is that smell?

Smells like something|died in here.

Mmm, ahem!

Hello!

Dr. Kruipen?|Edward?

Why is there no heat?

Yeah, wouldn't the pipes|freeze at night?

They must be|out in the field.

There's no running water either.

The genny must be off.

I'm gonna go check it out,|okay? All right.

Hey, where you going?

The restroom.|Is that okay with you?

Well, now we know why|one of us got bumped.

Yeah, and she doesn't even|sound like she wants to be here.

Shoot.

Did you want a water?

No thanks.

I'm gonna go look around.

Ling...

...look, I know I can never|expect you to trust me again.

I made a huge mistake.

You are so full of sh*t.

What, a little makeup sex|in the Arctic?

Something to tell|your buddies about?

- You know it's not like that.|- Oh, really?

Well, then...|why tell me this now?

I don't know.|You were so angry.

And I was scared.

Evelyn?

I'm looking for something|that belongs to me.

You don't really believe what|you said in the helicopter, do you?

What did I say?

About just giving up.

Bet your dad|doesn't think that.

You'd probably know what|he thinks better than I do.

My dad's in the oil business.

A few years ago,|one of his rigs hit sour gas...

...and the well blew out.

The gas blew downwind|and killed nine people.

I asked him how he could live|with himself and you know what he said?

"Plenty more|where they came from. "

Just part of the risk.

So now you know why|I'm willing to blow sh*t up.

You don't really think that|ecoterrorism is the answer.

I don't know.

But I want to do what needs to be done,|be there when the ball starts rolling.

There's a flashlight in the lab. We'll|need it if the genny doesn't start.

- Man.|- Ugh.

Oh, that is brutal.

God, it stinks.

What the hell is that?

I don't know.

Hold on.|Don't get so close.

Oh my God!|Oh, sh*t, are you okay?

Yeah, it's okay.

Hello?

Yeah, we're in here.

Oh, Jeez Louise!

Not exactly my choice|of words, but...

...yeah.

Why do they have this|rotting bear in here?

- Oh.|- I don't know, but I need a picture.

Ow!|Something just bit me.

What?

Ow.

I think it's just a flea bite.|You're gonna make it.

Let's get out of here.|The stink is getting to me.

Evelyn, hold up.

I heard a gunshot.

What?

From out in the field|when I was filling up the genny.
