Don't forget

your coat.

I wouldn't need one if

you let me stay here.

Ah. That's you fault,

not mine.

I'm not the one that got

expelled the day before

her father went on a trip.

Why can't I stay home?

It's not like I need

a babysitter.

You know, I would've

agreed with you if you

hadn't gotten into

a fight at school.

It wasn't even a fight.

All I did was shove

her, and she deserved it.

Oh, and if she didn't deserve it

and you punched her anyway.

Shoved her.

And she totally went after Blake

even though she knew I liked him.

That's funny. I don't remember

you ever mentioning Blake before.

That's because

you don't listen.

Did you get anything to eat,

'cause we gotta go pretty soon.

Dad.

You're coming with me, Emmy.

I can stay at Lena's.

Oh, that's right, and do what

while she's at school?

Well, what am I

gonna do in...

Canada.

I don't know. Maybe you can make up on

all that homework you've missed for one.

Blah.

Sweetheart, you can make snow angels,

you can build a snowman.

You can help us with our work.

I really don't care.

Research?

Yeah, no thank you.

There are animals.

Maybe that'll help you out.

Yeah, whatever.

What do you guys

even do there anyway?

We track down animals that

we've been following for years...

and we see how they're doing.

We measure changes

in their environment,

- we..

- Boring.

You are coming with me

and you don't have a leg...

to stand on, and you know it,

because if you thought you had...

a leg to stand on you would not

have packed your bag.

Ha...

High five.

Whatever.

Get in the car.

This is gonna be so lame.

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

Hi guys.

Emmy, you

remember Rob and Marci,

two very important parts

of our research team...

from the university.

Hi Emmy.

[GRUNTING] Look out.

Come on guys. Let's go

before it gets too dark.

Yeah, we don't wanna get lost

like last time.

[MUSIC]

Have you seen them today?

Nope.

I guess they didn't wanna make

an appearance until you showed up.

We haven't even

been out at all.

We've been stocking the cabin.

Anything good?

It's all good,

as long as Marci doesn't cook it.

Hey!

Maybe

Emmy can help out with that.

[ROCK MUSIC SPILLS OU FROM HEADPHONES]

What's that?

Ski resort.

Did you guys know that, uh...

over 15 million people ski or

snowboard in North America alone?

Fascinating.

Nice.

How do they

have time for that?

Hey, can we go skiing?

We're here to work, Em.

No, you're here to work, Dad.

We have two snowmobiles.

Maybe you could take a ride

on one...

with your dad

driving, of course.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Hey, grab some of them

push pins, will ya?

Hurry, we got a lotta these

to do today.

One thing you gotta realize, kid,

is people go missing.

It happens out here sometimes.

Especially during

spring break season.

All those college kids drift too far away

from their fancy resorts and freeze.

Others get...

buried in an avalanche.

It happens?

That's your philosophy?

When you've been around as long

as I have, you'll get what I mean.

Yeah, thanks Gibbons.

Trying to save the world.

I gotta save the world

before he eats it.

[MUSIC]

Home, sweet home.

For one week

outta the year, anyway.

This is where

you guys come?

Yep.

We're in the middle

of nowhere.

You thought I was kidding,

didn't you?

No, really, like nowhere.

We're actually only six miles

from the resort as the crow flies,

but with the mountains

and windy roads it's...

Thanks, Rob.

As the crow flies?

What?

They're crows.

They fly.

Satellite all hooked up

ready to go?

It's sketchy.

Sketchy?

It's on my to do list.

Great.

My cell phone

doesn't work.

Oh, duh...

There's not a cell tower

around here, silly.

That's no excuse.

I guess you're just gonna have to settle

for real human interaction.

Hmmm.

Why don't you help

get dinner ready?

Yeah, I'm not hungry.

We all pitch in

around here, Emmy.

Why don't you make yourself

in charge of...

getting meals ready?

Nice try.

I'm not your slave.

Tell me! Do you really think

I'm outta line...

asking you to assume just

a little bit of responsibility?

Hmmm.

That's funny.

Where have I heard that

before?

Oh yeah, that's exactly what you

told mom right before she split.

Help with the food.

Now.

[HUMPH]

Bad time?

[LAUGHING]

Uh-huh.

Whatcha got?

Satellite's gonna be iffy

for a couple days.

Why is that?

I don't know.

I think it's a hardware problem.

Something with the

satellite service centre.

Well, maybe Rob can help us out

with some trivial information.

True.

Anything else?

Yeah.

So last year I published this paper

on tar sand mining...

and the effects it has

on wildlife's water sources.

That was you?

Yeah.

Yeah, that was me.

I... I am so amazed.

I mean I had no idea

you were so smart and hot.

But you know, maybe you should try

like spiking the hair,

get a haircut, lose the flan.

Ooh, yeah,

lose the flannel.

- And then untuck the shirt.

- Emmy.

Emmy!

Knock it off.

Come on Dad.

We're just...

catching up, you know,

old times.

He's twice your age,

and he's not interested.

Knock it off.

You're not interested.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Hey.

Satellite?

Uh... no luck.

Keep trying, though, okay?

Of course. You think I can go a week

without my email?

Hah, well, I don't know,

you might survive.

Emmy all settled in?

Hm... I guess she is.

I went up to her door,

it's closed and I hear that...

angry music coming through those

ear things she wears... 24/7.

Rough time.

When, uh... when Kim...

[snivels] when Kim left us,

Emmy just kinda

got quiet.

All of a sudden

she didn't talk to me,

she didn't talk to anybody,

really.

And then for... no reason

I can wrap my dad head around,

she...

turned into one of those...

lashing out at everything,

angry teenage things, you know?

Hm.

I miss the quiet Emmy.

No... you miss that...

happy Emmy, before Kim left.

Yeah, but I... honestly don't think

there's much chance...

of that Emmy

ever coming back.

You ever hear from Kim?

Well...

maybe it's time to move on.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

[SUSPENSEFUL

MUSIC]

Quitting time.

Yeah, you go ahead.

What's with the pins?

Nothing.

Oh, if you can't tell your partner,

who can you tell?

You're not gonna care.

Try me.

I been pulling up some

past reports of missing persons...

and the places

they were seen last.

If you wanna be a detective,

I know somebody at the RCMP.

You see,

I knew you wouldn't listen.

You're taking this snowboarder

to seriously.

The rescue teams

searched all over for him.

Nothing.

Yeah, well,

they didn't search everywhere.

I mean the places

that they're searching...

barely intersect the places

where people were last seen.

And they barely intersect the places

where people said they saw something.
