But why should three of you die...

They've given us up.

They're gonna leave without us.

Oh, shut up, will you?

You know something, Lieutenant,

you're a dead duck

just like all the rest of us.

You think I'm blind?

We're all gonna die because of her!

That's enough!

He's right, Alan.

We're not making any deals with Hunter,

not the kind he wants.

Why don't you let Maggie talk for herself?

You, too, Jack?

What's the matter, Alan?

Losing your sense of humor?

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let's find that wreck.

We got two whole days.

Come on, Steve. Pick up where you left off.

I'll keep on working the south end.

I think, darling, we'd better try...

Maggie!

Maggie, where are you?

Get back! Get back!

Where's that wreck? Where's that wreck?

MAGGlE:
Stop it! Stop it!

Not before he talks.

No!

No!

Where is it? Where's that wreck?

Tell me or I'll... Where's that wreck? Talk!

No!

You're gonna rot here.

Talk! Talk!

Get out of my way.

You've lost your mind.

Maybe you wanna stay here

for the rest of your life, but not me!

You're not gonna touch him.

Go ahead, Steve.

We're not gonna dig our way out of here

through human flesh.

Not Maggie's, Hunter's, not even yours.

Jack.

Get out.

No one asked you to come here.

We want to help you.

I don't need your help or your pity.

We all need pity, and we all need help.

Here. It's a map.

It'll show you where the wreck is.

Take it. And leave me alone.

We'll find it.

If it's true that you can't live among beasts

without becoming one,

then it's just as true

that you can't live among human beings

without becoming affected

by their humanity.

Let's get started.

Come on, Maggie.

I'll stay with Hunter.

I'll be all right.

We must have passed this place 20 times.

It'll work.

Okay, Jack. Give it a whirl.

Well, if it doesn't run this time, we've had it.

The battery's just about shot.

Jack, is there anything we can do?

Let's check the ignition system again.

I'm going back to camp.

No! You stay here!

Something's happened to them.

Something's happened to them!

Well, she's running smooth as a watch.

Kick in the rotor and let's see what happens.

Yeah, here goes.

What is it, Steve?

The new rod needs adjusting.

We'll be all right.

How about it, Steve?

I need a little more time.

It's okay now!

Let's go.

Look! There's Maggie and Hunter.

Steve! Get the winch ready.

Oh, look!

Jack, get as close as you can.

Right.

Hello, Task Force W. This is Helicopter X-3.

We're airborne and trying to intercept you.

Give us a heading. We're low on fuel.

Repeat, give us a heading,

Hello, Helicopter X-3. Hello, Helicopter X-3.

Our radar has you spotted.

Take a heading of 51 degrees,

We will intercept you,

Proceed to flight deck on the north wind,

We've everything ready for you, Over,

Received your message.

We're coming in. Out.

Hey, there they are!

Probably will be another expedition

next year.

Would you like to come along?

No, thanks. I've had it.

Anyway, the OP likes to rotate assignments.

I wasn't thinking of it

exactly as an assignment.

Oh? What then?

Well, sort of a honeymoon, sort of?

At the South Pole?

Well, it's one way of keeping warm.

That's ridiculous, Alan.

Yeah, I guess it is.

Why, who'd stay home with the baby?

Sure, who'd stay...

What baby?

Ours, silly.

Why, by this time next year...
