Strange.

Who would do something like this?

Maybe someone got upset about

their roaming charges.

Stealing satellite phones makes sense,

you can hawk 'em.

You can write up charges

on somebody else's account.

But burning them?

Youngsters?

...pulling some prank?

No. They would have left a note.

"F*** you", to their parents....

....or the world or whatever

Not a bad idea though.

I brought Peggy here on our

first date.

Yeah, we all did.

Not Peggy of course.

I gotcha.

Last sunset of the month.

Always works.

Well, uhm, let's go to the sign.

You okay, Eben?

Yeah.

Why even bother with that, nobody's

going to see it for a month.

It's condition.

Kind of put this off til the last

minute didn't ya?

There's a lot of small towns in this state.

My boss wants all this gear inspected

and certified by the 31st.

Yeah, I noticed it says barrel for the last.

Are you sure you don't wanna stay?

Me and Jane were kind of hoping...

that you and Eben would rethink this

separation thing.

Thanks.

I, uh...

...gotta meet the plane.

Okay sweetie. I know you can handle ????

Promise I won't live on Oreos and Snapple.

I'm going to Seattle.

Yes you are Kristen,

call me when you get there.

You got a problem?

Nothing I can't handle

my f***ing self.

Is this for generators?

Yeah, yeah most.

Beau, I'm going to have to cite

you for it. I can't have it leaking all

over the street.

What?

For that?

...you don't have to cite me.

You don't have to do anything.

Isn't that why we live out here?

You know, for a little freedom?

Happy motoring.

Yeah, I'll add it to my collection.

You know, Beau's not so bad.

Why'd you bother writing him up?

He lives all alone out there

on the south ridge.

A little citation now and then lets

him know he's a part of this town.

Eben? Come in Eben.

Yeah Helen?

Something bad happened to John Reese's dog.

[Radio] :
Well folks, you're listening to KBRW,

Marrel, Alaska.

...today's the last day [fade out].

And we've been to get the last plane

out of here.

Hey Stella, are you okay?

????? Malachi.

Didn't you know what "right of way" means?

I'm sorry Stella.

The brakes jammed and....

...Eben wanted this back before

the storm hit. And I was trying to...

Oh sh*t!

Was going to meet you at the airport.

Wouldn't Eben?

Well, my mom could come down and give you

a tow, but you know she don't move

too fast.

F***, where's my phone?

It's me.

Surprise!

I uh, need a ride to the airport.

What?

You're in town and you didn't want to talk?

I had fire marshal work here,

..and I just had a little accident.

I'm stuck on Ransom and 355 and the airport

will close, and I'll never get to Anchorage.

I mean, if you wanna talk,

we can do it on the drive.

Billy.

Stella's stuck at Ransom and 355.

She needs a ride to the airport.

Can you go get her?

Stella, John Reese needs me for something,

so Billy's going to come get you.

Let me know if the day comes

and you do wanna talk.

What sick jerk would do this?

Every kennel, every dog we had.

Did you f*** with anyone recently John?

I'll kill them....I'll kill them.

This wasn't done long ago.

I'll find him.

It'll be okay Malachi.

Where have you been?

Uh, I couldn't find the damn car keys.

And then I was like..wait, is that like Rogers

and 355 or Ransom?

Yeah, never mind, let's go.

It would be a lot easier,

if you would just play grandma.

Oh, I don't really care for those sort of

games, if you want to know the truth.

Try your brother.

- Tessek?

- Eben, do you want to play?

Oh, I can't right now Jake, I'm sorry.

While you were busy with John Reese,

Carter Wilson called.

about a vandalism problem at the

utilidorf.

Thanks.

You know, call Point Hope and Wainwright

and see if they have any troubles.

No!

I am not trapped here for a month.

There will be someone you can bunk with.

Uh, don't start Billy.

Peggy and me and the 2 girls in one room.

Place of your own.

I can't stay here..I've got bills to put and

my plants will die.

It will work out.

Of course the process of staying at my place...

...is you can explain to me and Peggy just

what is wrong between you and Eben.

I don't have enough time this century

to cover that Billy.

Eben, how you doing?

Good to see you.

Boy, it's gotta be 10 below out here.

- Eben

- Wilson.

Can't your wife bring you out

a sweater or 2?

Bring the whole tribe up,

while she's at it?

When they're ready I guess.

So...

I found all kinds of garbage

over the years.

Blue jeans...bikes.

Sometimes I can yank them out before

the muffin monster chews them

to sh*t.

The muffin monster?

That's old Wilson's helicopter logo,

pulled that stuff out before it got

totally trashed.

You keep a copy of your lock and key,

don't you Wilson?

Yeah, I put it in dry-dock, with

tourists headed south.

Haven't looked at it for days.

They ripped out the throttle, the rotors...

half the f***ing helicopter.

It's my life Eben!

Why would someone rip the hell out of

my ??????

Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Who are you people?

No whiskey?

No rum.

Alcohol's illegal this month.

Folks have a hard enough time in the dark

without booze making it worse.

Well forget about the liquor..

...Lucy.

Just bring me a bowl of...

...raw hamburger.

You only get meat 2 ways around here...

frozen or burnt.

You don't bring me what I want to eat

what I want to drink.

That's enough pal, leave the lady be.

Hey, what do you say the 2 of us go

outside and have a little talk, huh?

Now what's wrong with a man

wanting a little fresh meat?

Come on. You and me, let's go.

Taking you outside.

I would like to see that.

I would too.

And Lucy would have to clean up after

Eben kicked your ass.

More trouble than you're worth.

Hey hey

That's enough.

Stay down.

Fire marshals office will take care of ????

It's a funny thing, you never asked.

So you missed your flight?

That sucks, where you gonna stay?

Billy and Peggy are putting me up.

Well, I'll talk to you sometime I guess.

Hey listen, um...

...maybe I'll come along and say hi

to Jake and Helen.

Bye Lucy.

I haven't seen vandalism like this

in a long time.

You don't know how to take care

of this town without me.

Malachi totaled my car.

Hell of a day.

Just you wait.

-Where are we going?

-Headed back to your house.

My landlady doesn't want a bunch of

pipeline workers keeping her up all night.

That's right.

- Let's head back to my place.

- Neither of you are getting me alone.

Neither!

Share, right?

None of us have to be greedy.

Ahh, come on, we'll be good.

Oh, you will?

- Where's ????

- Oh you bad little b*tch.

Okay, rock, paper, scissors.

Whoever wins, we go to his place.

- Good idea, do it.

-Hurry up, let's get moving.

On 3.

One, two..

Gabe?

Gabe?

Let me tell you what I got.

You don't work at the refinery.

You didn't fly in.

Somebody would have seen you.

You're definitely not from around here.

How did you get in?

Alright.

We got a long time to figure this out.
