Previously on Arctic Air
I lied before,
when I said I don't get lonely.
Dev, it was
a one-time thing, okay?
Don't lie for him, Cece,
he's not worth it.
I thought once we got married,
I'd see you more, not less.
You're always complaining
that I'm never around,
but now you're never around.
Krista, marry me.
Can you put Krista on?
Hey, Bobby,
Krista just said yes.
Any regrets?
With Blake?
You're my best friend.
Let's just not spoil
a good thing.
I am so happy
you didn't leave Arctic Air
after you broke off
After I broke off
my engagement with Krista?
I'm sure as hell
not going to walk away
just because it makes her
uncomfortable to have me around.
I'm shedding again!
Maybe it's time
you get out of that thing.
That is the plan.
Oh, Krista, wait, wait.
I want to meet the fiance
before you lovers take off.
Hello, Blake.
You're just as yummy
as Krista said.
Uh
Thanks, I guess.
Okay, Susie,
this is Bobby Martin.
Not Blake, Bobby.
From grad.
Oh, wow!
You and Blake
called off the wedding.
Oh, that's so sad.
Don't you think that's sad?
Hmm, a little sad.
Oh, is there still
wine in there?
Don't clear it.
Blake.
Hate to interrupt the party,
but they need you
back at Arctic Air.
What are you doing here?
Astrid was supposed to
pick us up much later.
With Shontal gone,
Astrid got bumped
to the Margate run.
I was on my way to Franklin Bay,
so they called me.
We're not ready to go yet.
Well, get ready.
We have nobody to cover
Hay River or Fort Simpson.
We booked off.
Talk to Mel.
The sked is screwed.
He wants you back.
See, just like grad night.
Your dad's still trying
to keep me out of your room.
Yeah, um
I'm going to get changed.
You should, too.
Yeah.
Hey, Riley.
I heard you snagged
a 60-pounder?
Yeah, fought like
a son of a ***.
Thought you had
the afternoon shift?
I, uh, had to cover for Trent.
Trent? He's here.
I just saw him.
What's going on?
Listen to this,
she's says
I don't "get" marriage.
Well, you probably don't.
I married her, didn't I?
What else does
she want me to do?
Act like a husband.
What does that even mean?
This is Tuesday, right?
Ham with cheese and pickles.
See?
You act like a husband.
She'll act like a wife.
Great advice, Cece.
As per usual.
This place sounds nice.
Any place that you can afford
to buy in Yellowknife
is not nice.
I'm certain one of these places
is going to be perfect.
What, you don't want to live
in the same house
with Astrid anymore?
You're over her, are you?
If I was strictly accurate,
I would not say I was over her.
But living away from her
will be healthier for me.
What's healthier?
Is this about turmeric again?
No, no.
Dev's just getting all fired up.
He's going house-hunting
this afternoon.
You're really buying a place?
That's great!
I'm so glad.
You are?
Ja.
But you have to get
a better hot water tank
than Krista, okay?
All I want is to stand
under a hot, long shower
and get the bathroom
really, really steamy.
What time
is your first appointment?
Oh, um
In an hour.
Great. I'll meet you
in the parking lot.
Tomorrow's Wednesday?
Roast beef and potato salad.
Mel would kill me
if I took three pilots
out of rotation
for another day.
Right, but he'd love you
to fly our plane into a storm?
A squall warning, not a storm.
Doesn't look good.
Some warning.
Loreen, do you copy?
Go ahead.
We're going to have to divert.
We're headed into weather.
Blake knows a runway.
Old dew line station.
Loreen?
Looks like we could be heading
right into the middle of it.
We've lost radio contact.
You okay?
Bobby!
Bobby, are you okay?
You can't land in this.
You're flying blind.
We can't turn around.
Maybe it's better down below.
This place used to be
a weather station
in the '90s.
The runway might be okay.
Let's hope you're right.
Hold on.
Send Dev.
Can't.
When he gets back,
he'll have done 14 hours.
Astrid?
Same.
So let me get this straight.
All of our pilots are scheduled
or nearing their limits.
We have two food runs,
and you let
two pilots slack off.
I didn't know Shontal
was going to quit
without any warning.
A good office manager
anticipates problems.
We'll catch up Mel.
I sent Blake to pick up
Krista and Bobby.
You let two pilots slack off,
then you send another pilot
to pick them up?
When do they get back?
They ran into a storm.
They're waiting it out
in an old dew line station.
This just keeps getting better.
What is
a dew line station anyway?
Stands for
"distant early warning."
Bunch of guys in the '50s
used to sit around up north
playing checkers
and looking out
for Russian bombers.
Now you got my pilots up there
playing checkers
while we lose business!
Isn't one of those
"slacking pilots"
his daughter,
up north
for her friend's wedding?
- Yup.
- Wow.
Yeah, well,
he's worse than usual.
He's a little hurt
Shontal took another job
without even talking to him.
I heard he has a girlfriend
in Sibbeston Lake.
Maybe he needs to make
a trip up north.
He and Rita are taking a break
since the accident.
Well, maybe that's the problem.
Mel needs a date
to make him human again.
Human?
I keep forgetting you're new.
Got it.
My landlady, Molly.
She might like Mel.
Hmm.
She got a thing
for grumpy old guys?
Bobby, how's your head?
I'm good.
I thought we were going to
buy the farm back there.
There you go.
We'd better get him inside.
He might have a concussion.
Come on.
This place is creepy.
We need to wait
out the storm somewhere.
Beautiful
You're so beautiful.
Okay, let's just
get you inside.
The main thing to worry about
is an internal bleed.
I'm fine.
You don't mess around
with a concussion.
Here we go.
Put him over here.
There you go.
Easy.
These places can be dangerous.
What who is that?
Where the hell
did you come from?
Nice to meet you, too.
Sorry.
We thought we were
the only ones here.
You just scared us a little.
A little?
Scared the heck out of me.
Not a place you expect crowds.
How'd you get here?
My husband was flying me
and our friend
up to Anderson River.
We hit the storm.
Are they okay?
Yeah. Thanks.
They're trying to get
the generators working.
Place could use a little light.
So, uh,
what are you all doing
so far north?
Well, we work for an airline.
This was a pick up.
An airline? Really?
They know where you are?
Well, they knew that
we were thinking of landing
at a dew line station,
but we lost radio contact
when we landed.
So they're not sure
where you set down?
No.
Well, doesn't matter.
You'll be out of here soon.
Yeah, we have to be.
Our friend is hurt.
How's he doing?
You dizzy?
Feel like you're
going to throw up?
Nah. I'm fine.
He's going to be okay.
Good thing you've got
such a hard head.
Where's that generator?
Uh, it's in the power house
in the main module.
Maybe I can help out.
Great.
If his headache gets worse,
or he throws up, call me.
Don't let him sleep.
Wait until you see.
The kitchenette's adorable!
Again, I am the buyer.
Yes, dear.
But I've learned it's the woman
who makes these decisions.
Oh, I'm not
"the woman" in this
Mm-mm, I don't need to know
all the little details
of your arrangement.
This place is in your budget,
and it has everything
on your wish list.
Oh, so there are
good schools nearby?
What do you care about schools?
Some day, my children
will live here,
and they will need to go
to a good school.
Children?
You never said
you want children!
Okay.
Time-out, you two.
House-hunting is always hard
on a relationship.
This is not a relationship!
Whoa.
Kirby.
Are you trying
to scare me to death?
No, I'm trying
to be a good husband.
What?
It's Cece's idea.
Cece remembered?
Remembered what?
Nothing.
I asked you not to talk
about our stuff
with people,
especially not Cece.
What's wrong with Cece?
I've got to get
back to my desk.
This will not work.
I cannot have Astrid living
in a neighbourhood like this.
I can take care of myself.
The reality is
this listing is one of
the only ones I could find
in your price range.
Here we are!
Only 350!
$350,000?
For this?
I told you the part of town
we were headed for.
What did you expect?
Okay, the truth is,
neither of us
Are originally
from Yellowknife.
Oh.
Well, then we're in luck.
Because
Something's just come in,
and I know
you're going to love it.
Let's go.
Okay.
Okay, I am
the prospective buyer.
This is all my fault.
What is?
That we're here.
My husband's a geologist,
he works long hours.
We never get away,
so I talked him into
a last-minute trip
up to Anderson River,
and here we are
Stuck.
Well, at least
we're out of the storm.
Yeah, but I don't know,
this place, it just,
it feels bad to me,
do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah, I kind of do.
You know,
we might have some
extra water on the plane.
Maybe even some sandwiches.
I'll go and check.
Thanks.
There you go.
Must have been
a strange place to live
for months and months.
Trying to kill time, you know,
waiting for the Russians
to drop the bomb.
They say people went crazy
in these places,
stuck up here for so long.
Are you messing with me?
Maybe just a little.
Okay, seriously, how are you?
Just a headache
Oh, look.
Looks like they got
the generator running.
Maybe we can get
the radio to work.
I'll be back soon.
Okay.
Hey.
Heard somebody else was here.
I'm Jesse Backus.
Krista.
Let's go get your coat.
Yeah.
Hey, you got it going.
Your friend here filtered
the old diesel fuel
through a shirt.
Quite brilliant, really.
Now, if we run out of supplies
and we have to draw straws
to see who lives or dies,
I'd vote we keep this fellow.
Good to know.
Of course, beautiful women
are always useful as well.
Okay.
Speaking of beautiful women,
where's my wife?
Your wife?
Catharine.
You're Catharine's husband?
Yeah, I know.
A bit of
a beauty and the beast.
You know, every day, I wonder
how I got that woman
to marry me.
Since you can apparently
fix anything, Blake,
any chance
we can get the radio going?
Worth a try.
Transmission room is a mess.
Impossible to get
that radio working
Even for you, my friend.
Well, we need to make contact,
find out
how bad the weather is
It's a waste of time.
We have heat, we have light.
We have everything we need
to wait it out.
Weather always gets better
some time, right?
Excuse me.
I'll just
Coming through.
He's kind of a weird guy.
He means well.
Let's go.
How's the patient?
Um
Still a little bit groggy.
But he's getting better
hey, buddy?
Where's Krista?
She and your friend
went to work on the radio.
Radio?
Don't see how they could
get it working, do you?
Who knows?
The guy's some kind of
mechanical genius.
Right.
Maybe it's worth another look.
We should go out to celebrate.
What are we celebrating?
Molly here
talked me into running
the Yellowknife Marathon.
What about dinner
after we train?
You guys want to join us?
Dinner sounds nice.
Mel's recovering
from an injury.
He tires easily.
He's got to turn in early.
Oh.
That's a shame.
Dinner.
See you tonight.
Great.
We should get back to work.
You've got to learn to relax.
Let me show you around
Arctic Air.
You want to see
my DC-3?
I'd like that.
I love it.
I love it! I love it!
Did you see the view
from my bedroom?
I saw the view
from the master bedroom.
Oh, come on, Dev.
If I get the bedroom
with the bathroom,
I don't have to wander
through the house in my robe.
All of the time.
Everyone wins.
I disagree.
Bottom line,
you love it, right?
You both love it?
Ja!
Ja. Ja.
Ja.
Okay.
But why is this house
so affordable?
What's the catch?
There isn't one.
You're just such a cute couple,
I thought I'd pull
a few strings for you.
You know this house
wasn't even listed?
I do not wish to be rude,
but I am not sure
I believe you.
Other houses
in this neighbourhood,
they cost at least $850,000.
Okay, you got me.
There is something a little
Well, a little unusual
about this house.
What?
But you don't care, do you?
I mean, I just assumed
it wouldn't be
a problem for you,
you two being foreign and all.
What does being foreign
have to do with anything?
It's just
such a beautiful house.
Don't you think?
You're right.
We
I mean, I
would like to make an offer.
Looks like you and your sweetie
might have just
bought yourselves a house!
Hey, uh, you got anything
that fits this?
Uh
Maybe we should just take off,
get out of here.
Head right into the next storm?
Yeah, why did you fly
with a storm warning?
I thought you were
more of a by the book
kind of guy.
Maybe you don't know me
as well as you think.
Right.
Typical of Mel to just
send you without thinking.
Why not send me?
Just
it must have been weird
to pick me and Bobby up
at the wedding.
Why?
Why would that be weird?
Because you and I
were supposed to go
to that wedding together?
Because we were engaged?
If we can just adjust
the antenna,
I think this should work.
You know, what you saw
back at the hotel,
it wasn't what you thought,
me and Bobby.
He was just saying goodnight.
You really think I care?
No, when you agreed to spend
the rest of your life with me,
then I cared that you were
kissing Bobby.
Not now.
You never gave me
the chance to explain.
That didn't mean anything.
You don't need to lie anymore
I'm not lying!
We never talked about
what happened.
You know, it's just too bad
I wasted so much time
waiting for you
to make up your mind.
I should have figured it out.
Truth is, you aren't capable
of loving anybody but yourself.
I'm going to go check on Bobby.
Right.
Come on, Kirby,
can't this wait till tonight?
Don't think so.
Oh.
For you.
Okay, you surprised me.
Yeah.
Nice, eh?
Wait. There's more.
Really?
Dinner out tonight?
I've heard that one before.
Come on, babe, we'll
we'll celebrate.
Maybe we should.
We're going to go to Bullocks.
So?
I will see you at Bullocks
after work?
Advise all aircraft,
police suspect will be
travelling in airspace,
wanted for armed robbery
and ***
at the Urjarak Diamond Mine.
Jesse Backus, late 20s,
six feet, 220 pounds,
star tattoo on his right arm
It's too bad you got
that thing working.
Now, what am I going to do
with you and your friends?
I'm the only one
that heard anything.
I can't let any of you go now!
Okay.
I didn't think
I'd make it out of there alive.
Wow, that's
an incredible story.
Isn't it?
Maybe
the first time you hear it.
Irish coffees all round?
Sounds perfect.
Not for me.
Oh, come on, my treat.
The whole evening.
You bought dinner,
and now you're
buying drinks, too?
Yeah.
What's the big deal?
My thanks to you guys
for introducing me and Molly.
That's so sweet.
Uh, four Irish coffees, please.
Maybe you could let me show you
some of my favourite spots
in Yellowknife?
She's already seen
the Arctic Air office.
We could take a hike
to back bay.
A hike?
I'd like that.
You can canoe there, right?
It's brilliant canoeing.
You two should take a picnic.
Sounds great.
Sounds exhausting.
You're in?
Definitely.
Are you okay?
We heard gunshots.
Where's Jesse?
Your friend tried to shoot me.
That's impossible.
What's going on?
What are you talking about?
Jesse killed a guard
at a diamond mine.
The cops are looking for him.
They must be in on it together.
No! God, no.
This has got to be a mistake.
We don't know anything
about a robbery.
He's just a friend.
Why should we believe you?
Because it's the truth.
Look, he found out
that we were going away,
and, at the last minute,
he asked if he could come.
And I told you it was strange
when he just
showed up like that.
I've got to find him.
Stay here till I get back.
I'm going to come with you.
It's our fault he's here.
I just, I feel terrible
about all of this.
Please,
let me help.
Yeah.
Hey. Hey!
You looked like more than
just friends with Jesse.
Did you rob the mine with him?
No!
And I don't believe
that he did either.
This has got to be a mistake.
Then why did he shoot at Blake?
I don't know,
but there's got to be
some other explanation for this.
I know he's not a killer.
Because you know
your friend so well?
Okay.
We are involved, me and Jesse.
That has nothing
to do with any of this.
Look, I don't know
what's going on here.
Are you sure
he's not using you?
We love each other.
That's real.
I might be an idiot,
but I am not a murderer.
And neither is Jesse.
Please, I'm telling
you the truth.
All right.
I've been
texting her all night.
No answer.
Maybe she went home?
No, she's supposed to
meet me here.
I'll tell you one thing,
you ain't going to
fix what's broke
sitting here drinking with us
instead of
talking to your wife.
Then why are you still here
instead of with Marie?
What, you think
I wouldn't rather
be home with my wife
than sitting here
with you rigs?
Stretched out on the lazy-boy
with a double dark and stormy
in my hand?
Then why aren't you?
Because Tuesday,
Marie gets the night
home alone.
Ever since
the fifth kid was born,
we've all got to find
some place to go.
Excuse me.
Cece is right.
You should go home.
Now I'm supposed to
take advice from the single guy?
Not single for long, my friend.
What?
The house-hunting go good?
It did indeed.
I made an offer on a beautiful
home in Nivan Lake,
where I will shortly
be living with my lady love.
What lady love?
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
what home in Nivan Lake?
You can't afford
anything up there!
Must be something wrong
with the place.
There was a small issue.
The house was
well, apparently, it was
briefly used as a set
for some
some *** movies.
You know, soft ***.
You would think
that would make it,
like, more expensive.
I would love to live
in a *** house.
Oh, no, no, I know this house.
Not from ***, you yomps.
Trust me,
you do not want to live
in this house.
He might have gone outside.
Max?
Max, where the hell are you?
Max?
Wait, where are you going?
I have to find Jesse.
I've got to talk to him,
find out what's going on.
It's too late to talk.
He shot at Blake.
If he shot at Blake,
then it must be
because he's scared.
Scared of what?
I don't know.
But if I find him,
and I talk to him,
then maybe
we can figure this out,
stop things
from getting any worse.
You have no idea what he'll do.
He'll listen to me.
I'm going.
Where?
Maybe he went
back to the plane.
Then we're coming.
Okay.
Oh, wait, wait.
Are you okay?
Why don't the two of you
just go ahead?
I don't want to hold you back.
I'll be fine.
All right, well, be careful.
Yeah, you too.
Jesse, is that you?
Come on, I just want to talk.
Careful.
He'd never hurt me.
I hope you're right.
Dev.
You scared me to death.
Don't say that.
Please.
You okay?
Not really.
I couldn't sleep.
It's too bright.
I'm going to make some tea,
do you want some?
Tea would be nice.
Soon, we'll be having tea
in that beautiful house
with the amazing view.
I am afraid not.
They didn't accept your offer?
I retracted it.
Dev!
That is the perfect house.
I found out
why it was so cheap.
Well, whatever it is,
it doesn't matter.
A couple died there
a few years ago.
That's sad,
but, you know, it's life.
That's what happens.
It's a house.
People are born, people die.
A deranged killer
found a couple at home.
He broke the wife's neck
and he shot the husband.
Okay, that is
kind of disturbing,
but it's not a reason to give up
on a perfect house.
He cut them into pieces.
Little pieces.
Apparently,
they never figured out
how he skinned the bodies.
They don't know for sure
if he ate them,
but they did find body parts
cooking on the stove.
They never found the killer.
He's still out there.
Okay, uh
It might be difficult
to cook in that kitchen.
Or, uh
eat in that kitchen.
I knew it.
I told Cece.
What do you know?
That we'd end up together.
We'll find
the right place for us.
We can take our time now
Okay, Dev, uh
We are not ending up together.
We could use some warmth.
'Kay?
No.
No, no, I
I am afraid that is not okay.
Okay.
Okay,
that might be a good idea.
Perhaps just one more night.
For warmth.
Thank God it's still here.
It's a good thing Jesse
didn't get here first.
Whoa!
Oh, sorry, sorry.
It's just me.
Bobby!
Did you see Jesse anywhere?
Um, no.
Wow, it's a .30-30?
You ever handled one of those?
It's got a great kick.
Right.
Maybe it'd be safer
if I held the gun.
I'm okay.
No, really, it's a lot harder
than you think.
I know .30-30's
very well.
What else do you know?
I know it takes
more than one person
to rob a diamond mine.
I looked in your bag.
No!
And I know
that the safety is still on.
Go!
"Safety's on?"
We're still alive, aren't we?
No point in hiding!
There's nowhere to go.
Come on, let's work this out.
Things got really messed up
between me, and Max, and Jesse.
You're running from
the wrong person.
I don't know what Jesse did,
but I'm no killer.
Where's your gun?
Somebody took it.
Let's get to the plane.
What about the weather?
We'll risk it.
I'm sorry.
I know you guys don't want
to shoot anybody else.
We don't want to
kill anyone at all.
We're not murderers!
Oh, yeah, what about Jesse?
I'm sad about all of this,
but we can't leave
any witnesses.
Wait. What about Jesse?
He's dead.
No, he's not.
He can't be.
Cat, come on.
She's lying.
He's probably waiting
for us on the plane
right now.
I'll show you his body.
They'll say anything
to save their skins.
No one's going anywhere.
You killed him.
You murderer!
Go, go, go
No, you can't believe that!
Still nothing.
Once we get some altitude,
we can get through.
Have the police pick them up.
I don't think
they'll wait around.
They'll just take
the diamonds and fly.
That might be difficult.
We cut their hydraulic line.
Okay.
They won't be taking off.
Hailey?
Aw, Hails
I told you.
Bullocks.
You didn't listen.
I was there all night,
waiting for you.
I thought we were
going to celebrate.
Looks like
you went ahead without me.
Oh, um
I was going to give you this
at Bullocks,
if you ever bothered to show.
Happy anniversary, babe.
Oh, Kirby,
it's really beautiful.
I knew you'd like it.
See, it's got our initials
and wedding date.
That way I won't ever forget
our anniversary.
The engraving cost extra,
but you're totally worth it.
I can't do this anymore.
What?
What are you talking about?
I'm really sorry.
Wait, Hails, wait. Wait!
Where are you going?
What is this, like a joke?
Krista!
Hey, uh, you got a sec?
Look
I was a little
*** you up there.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
You shouldn't be.
You did us both a favour.
I did?
Seeing those three today,
love really messed them up.
That was it?
Not robbing a diamond mine
and killing people?
I'm just saying,
jealousy, it sucks.
Yeah, it does.
Really, we got lucky.
We almost got married
for all the wrong reasons.
What, love?
No, not love.
It was
more like loneliness.
Face it.
We never knew each other
well enough to really go there.
I hope some day you find someone
that can really love you.
You deserve that.
They found two bodies
at the dew line.
The security guard
from the diamond mine
and the guy who turned out
to be the geologist there.
And the woman,
the diamond cutter?
They couldn't
find her anywhere.
Maybe she walked out,
met some buyer somewhere.
Well, from what I heard,
if she's walking, she's dead.
Nowhere to go out there.
Brought you some scones.
Blueberry.
Your favourite.
And, hey, thanks
for the set-up with Molly.
She's a good woman.
Set-up?
I'm not an idiot.
Feels good
to get back out there.
Helped me figure out some stuff.
What, that you're ready
for something more serious?
Ready for more fun!
Got another date tonight.
With Molly?
Uh, well, yeah,
that's this weekend.
Tonight, it's Lisa.
Ran into her
in the bakery this morning.
We know each other
pretty well, right?
I'd say so.
Are we going to talk
about you coming in?
No.
Hey, where do you
think you're going?
You just said
I said we're not
going to talk about it.
See ya.
Good night.
Krista gone?
Yeah, she drove Bobby home.
Right.
Okay.
Do you need her?
Nah
I'll survive.
You know I have a head injury.
The doctor said
that it's dangerous
if I fall asleep.
Then no sleeping.
No talking.
