l can fly in this, Andy. You know l can.

Sorry, Katie. lt's not a question|of whether you could fly in it,

but whether you could see anything.

Don't worry, hon.|He's been in worse before.

Worse than this?

What?

Base to Melbourne team. Come in?

Base to Melbourne. Come in.

This is Katie. Please, come in.

Jerry, do you copy? Over.

Good, kids.

About three here, right?

Andy! Coop! Come on, they're here!

Jerry! Jer, are you all right?

He's got a broken leg!|And he's been in the water!

- Get the stretcher now!|- Got it!

- l don't like that cough.|- Get the dogs.

Look at those hands! Get him in!

- Come on, Jerry.|- Let's go!

Good team. Good team.

Good girl, Maya!

You got us home.

All right,|let's have a look at this leg.

Rosemary. Hypothermia kit.

Put your hands in there.|We'll bring 'em back nice and slow.

Hey. Buddy, how you feeling?

- How are the dogs?|- Uh, good. l just fed them.

- Get the rock off the sled too.|- The rock?

- He found what he was looking for?|- Of course. He had a good guide.

Soon as you can, get that plane ready.

Dr. McClaren could lose this leg|without proper medical attention.

- What are we gonna do about the dogs?|- There's only so much we can carry.

l did speak to Mactown.|The winter team is ready to go.

Katie can fly right back,|bring the dogs out.

l'll wait here and, uh,|l'll fly out with the dogs later.

No, that's out of the question.|That could be stage three frostbite

and heaven knows what nerve damage|has already been done.

Jerry, he's right.|l'll come right back. l promise.

Let's get ready to pull out of here.

Take them out.

Watch his head.|Jer. l need some help.

Be careful with that leg.

Knock down the stretcher,|Rosemary.

Coop. Coop, come help me|tighten the dogs' collars

so they don't get loose.|Come on. Max! Come on!

Good boy, Max.

Come on, buddy. Come here.

Come here, Max. Come here, Max.

- Come here.|- Good boy. Good boy, Max.

- All right. Here we go.|- Won't be long.

Easy, Max. Easy.

- Let's get the other ones.|- All right.

Hang in there, big guy.

That's the last of 'em.

All right, Maya.

You keep 'em in line, all right,|and l'll be back. l promise.

Be good. That's my girl!

All right, buckle tight.|This one's gonna be rough.

- Coop, l know you got that fear...|- Major... major fear of flying? Yeah.

Ugh.

Hey.

Hey!

Finally.

Oh, man.

Oh, you...|you are so lucky you passed out.

We...

We were bouncing around up there, man,

like one of those beach balls|at Dodger Stadium.

And Katie was yelling at me|the whole time to stop screaming,

but, uh, l couldn't do it.|lt was way too intense, man.

lt was crazy.

Where is everybody?

Right here.|Everyone's here at Mactown.

Davis is good. Uh, you're good.

Your hands... You still have|your hands, which is good.

Everything's...|everything's all good, man.

Did Katie get the dogs OK?

Yeah, well, um...

Uh...

Uh... No.

They were telling her|that-that she should wait, maybe,

you know, until things got better.

Jer? lt's been snowing|since we got here, man.

Dude...

Hey. You're finally up.

- How are your hands feeling?|- They're fine.

- How soon can we go back?|- l think you should get some rest, OK?

No, Katie. How soon?

The weather's gotten worse.|No one's flying in.

When is it gonna get better?

They've canceled the winter teams.|No one's going in till spring.

I need it now!

Excuse me, commander?

- Who are you?|- Jerry Shepard. l'm with NSF.

- Andy Harrison's crew?|- Yeah.

We need a plane to the field base.|We weren't entirely evacuated.

What? l ordered everybody|out of there yesterday.

No, not everybody.|We left eight dogs there, sir.

Dogs?

l've got over 200 people, ten winter|teams to evacuate to New Zealand.

Right. These dogs|are a part of our team, NSF.

Captain, we've got a big problem|with some of the engines icing up.

- We have to start moving some planes.|- Son, look. This is today.

We've got a two-day window,|then another storm hits.

lf it lasts till here,|which they say it will,

then we're into winter|and nobody flies.

We don't have enough supplies|to keep everybody here.
