I think that was Sander.

Yeah. Oh, sh*t!

Oh, God! No!

You see it?

Where'd it go?

There!

Get back! Don't. Don't touch it.

Did you hear that?

Yeah.

Kate.

Sander.

Wait. So what? It'll freeze out there.

And if it doesn't? If it makes it outta here? Millions of people could die.

It's got nowhere to go.

Yes, it does.

All right. All right. What?

What happened to Lars?

We didn't kill him.

Come on. Run! Run! Carter! Carter!

Kate! Kate! Kate! Kate!

Kate? Kate?

God! No! No! Stop! No! No!

Kate!

So what do we do now?

There's a Russian station about 50 miles from here. We should have enough gas. We're gonna make it back, okay?

Okay.

Let's go.

I'll put this in the back. You know how I knew you were human when you showed up back at base?

No.

Your earring. It was your other ear.

Kate. Kate, what are you doing? Let's talk about this. Talk to me. Kate. Kate! Kate! No!

Oh, my God. Hello? Hello, can anyone hear me? Hello? Hello! Edvard? Edvard? Hello! Hello! Lars? Lars, it's me, damn it!

Open your mouth.

Huh?

Open it now! That's no dog! Start the helicopter now!
