01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

Guys, anyone has seen Miles?

Who are you looking for now?

It could be anyone.

Whose is this?

Nelson.

- You k*ll Miles.
- We don't know that.

- Come on.
- I didn't f*cking k*ll Miles.

You believe him?

Nils! Don't die! Don't die!

- I have seven bodies.
- I've got two missing and Annika.

- Annika.
- Where is she?

Annika Lundqvist. Is an SOS.
I repeat. This is an SOS.

I don't know where Annika is.

Maggie.
I can't trust her, Johan.

She did it. She k*ll them all.

You can't believe anything she
says, Johan.

But I should believe you...

Those people were my colleagues.

Do you really think
I'm capable of... of...

Of that?

As much as a twenty-something
girl is capable of it, yeah.

Oh, I'm sure she's playing
her part really well.

Batting those lovely
doe-like eyes at you...

But why would she do it?

Because someone hired
her to steal my research.

Are you telling me that they
all d*ed because of your bug?

That "bug,"

is capable of breaking down CO

a hundred and
fifty-three times faster

than the normal rate
of photosynthesis.

It can single-handedly
end climate change...

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- This is real!

And it's worth billions.

Now you tell me that someone
wouldn't pay anything for that.

Or do anything for that.

She wasn't even
supposed to be here.

Lars Olander was
my first choice.

But a few weeks before
we all fly here,

he gets hit by a drunk driver.

So the program
sends her instead.

First thing she does,
is bed my assistant,

the only person apart
from Annika and me

who had access to the lab.

Still doesn't
explain the murders.

I'm getting there!

Miles,

was edgy those last few days.

He was cagey.

He was head of communications,
maybe he'd eavesdropped on her.

I think he blackmailed her.

She finds out,
panics, and kills him.

Do you have any proof
of what you're saying?

Anything?

Go to the lab.

Top drawer on my desk.

There's a box full
of memory cards.

They're all psych evaluations
of the whole of my team.

She was a last
minute replacement,

so I had no chance
to review hers.

She's not who she says she
is, Johan.

Look at the psych evaluation,

and let me know if
something doesn't check out.

Look, I don't know if
Annika is alive or not,

but I bet Maggie does.

And what if I'm right?

Please state your full name.

Margaret Emilia Mitchell.

Good. I guess you know
the purpose of this test.

To make sure I don't snap
if I get to Antarctica?

I have to evaluate
whether you can withstand

the isolation that comes with spending
winter in an Antarctic station.

Don't worry, everything you
say here is confidential.

We'll start with the easy ones.
Do you drink?

- Socially.
- Smoke?

...biggest disappointment?

My last relationship, I guess.

What's your most vivid
memory of feeling alone?

When I moved to London,
to go to college.

I didn't know the city,
I didn't know anyone.

Every day I had this two
hour commute to get to class,

and the train was always packed.

I'd never been surrounded
by more people,

and felt more alone
in my entire life.

So what did you do?

I found a strategy.

When I was a kid and the house
was very quiet in the morning,

I could always hear
the waves from my room.

So sometimes,
when I was waking up in my

shitty little flat in
Croydon, I would...

keep my eyes closed a little
longer and imagine that sound.

The waves, crashing. And...

it made me feel like I
was waking up at home.

Sorry to bother you again.

It's okay.

I wanna ask you about how you
got selected to come here.

- Why?
- 'Cause I know you lied.

You told our
psychologist some story

about hearing the sea from your
room when you were a kid...

But according to this you...

You lived like
miles from the shore.

They told me that
was confidential...

So you lied.

Yes, I lied.

I just told them what
they wanted to hear.

That I managed to control
my fears when I was younger,

that I was ready for
a winter on the ice.

So why did you want
to come here so badly?

I checked your resume.

You don't need to be here.

Top of the class.
Congratulatory first...

I don't even know
what that means.

It's when your professors clap
after your thesis presentation.

Okay.

So what are you really doing
here, Maggie?

You're talking to someone else.

There's another survivor?

Yes.

Aki?

Arthur.

I came here because
of my mother.

Your mother?

My mum...

She had these big dreams.

She wanted adventures.

Set foot on South Pole,
paddle through the Amazon...

She never did.

In my last year at Med School,
she got cancer, it was...

quick.

Really quick.

We tried to keep her happy...

Optimistic, so I told her
about this opening and...

she said I had to take
it, no matter what.

"Do this now," she said.

"Promise me you'll do this,
and then you can spend

the rest of your life doing that
doctor thing at the hospital, or...

wasting your time
in front of the TV.

Whatever you want.

Just make sure you
live this first."

I promised her I would.

Is that the truth?

Or just another story?

It's the truth.

If you know where Annika is,

please tell me.

Whatever you may have done,

I don't need to know.

I just want her.

I don't remember...

It's like darkness. I...

I see her, crying,
and then it...

It just goes away.

You have to believe me.

Okay.

Then tell me...

What happened after
you found Nils?

Take your time.

Cause of death is...

severed carotid artery.

Interrupted blood
flow to the brain and,

there's massive exsanguination.

It's his daughter.

Bloody hell...

Erik?

Erik was useless.

All he could do was
color inside the lines.

And we were in a situation where
there were no lines at all.

This stays between us.

I don't want everybody to panic.

Cover this. Bag him.

We'll put him and
Miles in the fridge.

Go!

Carving a V in
somebody's chest...

You're saying Maggie did that?

What has that got to do
with stealing your work?

The Russians have a word for it.

Maskirovka.

The art of misdirection.

What she did was so unspeakable,

that we can't stop ourselves
from looking at it.

And while we're trying
to come up with some...

reason,
to make sense of this horror.

We miss what this
was really all about.

It's a cover up.

Blood...

is the best camouflage.

Get a hold of Barts
Medical School.

Ask for a copy of
Margaret Mitchell's file.

Do what it takes to get it.

Why?

I want to make sure she
is who she says she is.

Nils is...

Well, you all know what
happened to Nils...

He was telling the truth.

One of us here... did it.

And whoever did it,
he's just getting started.

Maybe it was a friend of Miles
who k*lled Nils to avenge him?

Maybe it ends here.

Ra... Ramón.

He and Miles were really close.

You know, if the cook's a
k*ller you're all pretty f*cked.

The k*ller carved a
V into Nils' chest.

Maggie, what are you doing?

They have the right to know.

But what does this mean?

Means we're f*cked
with a capital V.

He's telling us he's still here,

watching us panic.

Watching us wonder
who will be next.

To whomever is doing this. I...

don't know you.

And you sure as
hell don't know me.

Please, just stop!

Just let us go!

We won't say anything!

I want to live.

Please.

So, what now, commander?

We stick together.

No. Bloody hell, no!

Look around!
The k*ller is one of us!

This is exactly what
the k*ller wants.

- The k*ller wants to divide us.
- That's not reason speaking,

and you know it.

It's loyalty,
it's a misguided sense of morality.

Cold blood, suspicion, distrust!

That might just keep us alive.

When you all go back
to civilization,

you all go to church,
give each other a hug,

take the dog for a walk,
I don't give a monkey's!

But not here!

Here we survive.

Not live, survive.

I want all to look around you,

and tell us if you've
seen anything suspicious.

No! Let's not do that.

Oh, come on! Who found him?

I was trying to help him.

Bless the good Samaritan.

Did anybody actually
see you do that?

- I did.
- Really, you?

Wow.

That's perfect!
Isn't it charming, guys? Huh?

This two lovebirds
sticking up for each other.

What about you, doctor?
What about you?

You found the dirty saw that
made us think it was Nils.

- Ramón...
- And Nils

nearly went The
Shiningon all of us

because he was getting toasty.
And who was treating him?

- Shut up!
- Just be careful,

because maybe by the
time you find your balls

she'll be wearing them as
a f*cking hunting trophy.

- Ramon!
- What?

Aki! Aki!

Aki, what are you doing?

Stop it right now!

Okay!

I'm sorry!

So, Aki was violent.

He was scared.

We all were.

Yeah, but he was the only one
to put someone in the infirmary,

wasn't he?

I checked Ramón over.

He was okay, just some bruises.

After that I went to
check his medical file.

Everything looked good.

Really good.

Had you ever seen
him like that before?

No, never.

Gustav to Johan.
Gustav to Johan.

Do you hear me?

This is Johan, go ahead.

The satellite is back in range.

All data regarding the storm
should be available now.

Okay, coming.

ARE YOU OKAY?

THE CHILDREN ARE WORRIED

My greatest disappointment
is probably...

not reconnecting with my
father before he d*ed.

My grandfather d*ed
before I graduated.

I'm the first one in the
family to go to college.

He would have been very proud.

When I'm not on the ice,
I do bet, but I'm...

I'm a pretty happy guy.

Yeah, I feel sad.

I think everyone feels sad.

I was in the army, so...

I'm away from my family
for quite some time.

I don't really have...
a lot of family

to be away from,
so that's not a problem.

My daughter...

is my greatest success.

I missed my dad's funeral.

My two kids,

Victor and Lily.

Yeah,

absolutely.

Why are you always looking
sad after we had sex?

Why do you think?

Ebba...

Lukas doesn't deserve this.

Lukas bankrupted you.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

It doesn't feel wrong to me...

- ...with you.
- I promised myself I...

I wouldn't do this anymore.

Ebba, I just need you...

Please...

Are you recording this?

Yes.

It's for us.

What the f*ck is this?

What kind of sick thing is that?

This is...

What if someone sees this?

What if Lukas sees this?

Lukas doesn't need to see this.

- You blackmailing me?
- No!

Is that you sick way of
trying to win me back?

But you're always coming back.

You need me as much as I do.
Stay, Ebba, please.

f*ck.

Ebba was Erik's ice wife,
back at the old Polaris.

But that was like...
eight years ago.

You know Erik,

he just didn't do, "letting go."

When we all came back,

he started calling her.

At home.

At work.

For months on end.

Hanging up,

if Lukas answered the phone.

Like a bloody teenager.

Or a stalker.

Over here...

you're alone with yourself.

And I have never met anyone

who disliked himself
as much as Erik did.

Okay!

What a safe pair of hands
to place your life in...

Erik,

we're not gonna
last three weeks.

We need to do something.

Well...

We'll find a way.

We have to.

We have no other choice.

There must be a way of
getting help from outside.

Radio's dead.

Wait!

There is a way!

The Argentinean base.

- Rivadavia?
- Yeah!

That's too far.

No! We could send someone
in one of the Sno-Cats.

From there,
we could radio for help.

That's nuts!

The Argies are what, two,
three hundred kilometres away?

It's impossible!

No.

No, it's not!
It's not that crazy.

It... It could work.

Okay, let's hear it.

We travel north, then
northwest, avoiding the glacier.

There's a scenic route through the
plateau, but it's flat,

hard terrain and it'll be safe.

The Sno-Cat won't make
it, Heather.

Fuel range is km,

and that's on
optimal conditions.

And weather here is
far from "optimal."

Just keeping the cabin warm
will burn a lot of fuel.

But these things have a radio.

Limited range.

I'd say... Forty km at best?
Thirty to be sure.

Then we don't have
to reach the Argies.

We just gotta make it here.

From there,
we can send them a signal.

If they have half the
equipment we have,

they won't have any
problem picking it up.

Two hundred seventy-ish km...
It's gonna be tight.

We send just one person
in full winter gear,

and we will pack the
Sno-Cat with fuel.

In the cabin, in the trunk...

It's the only plan we got.

It's a Hail Mary pass,

but if we don't throw this
ball more people are gonna die.

Come on, Erik.

Let's... do it, okay?

All right, I'll go.

It will be just like
the Sonora Rally.

Much colder.

Hey, wait a minute.

Annika comes up with the
idea, and she waltzes in?

What're you trying to say?

The k*ller wants to make
sure we don't get help here.

And the way to do that is to
be the one driving the Sno-Cat.

That's what I'm trying to say.

Oh, ok! That's rich.

f*ck off... I'll go.

First you don't like the idea,

and now that you
do like the idea,

- you wanna be the person to...
- Oh, for Christ's sake, guys!

We draw straws.

Shortest one wins.

Come on, line up.

I didn't get it.

Heather was our best chance.
Erik knew that.

I wish it to be known,
that I do this under protest.

Annika?

Who won?

Ebba?

Ebba won?

Ebba goes.

Hey, hey! Hey, hey!

Look at me.

I saw it...

He told me once
how, after the army,

he took to practising
hand tricks.

How having something
manual to focus on helped.

- He cheated.
- Hey, hey.

- He made Ebba win.
- You will do great.

- You will.
- Okay.

Alright, everybody!
Let's get this show on the road!

Chop-chop!

Stop and sleep in the
cab if you need to.

Whatever you do,
don't fall asleep at the wheel.

And if you do rest,

don't turn off the
engine, keep it on idle.

On idle. Okay.

And here there is...

bandages,
hand cream and salt tablets.

Just stay warm and hydrated.

You know how to use all of it.

You'll be fine, Ebba,
you are gonna do great.

I'm not so sure...

Come on, you're the lucky one.
You're getting out of here.

Go get them!

Should I start it?

Yeah, and keep it running,
so it warms up a bit.

Don't worry about
that, engine's cold.

Just keep trying.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

You know it's ridiculous.
Don't you?

She can't do this.

- f*ck... Erik, come on.
- Stop it. Ebba goes.

Try again! Come on!

Come on.

She was burning!
She was burning!

Okay, come on! Easy.

- Come on.
- Johan, we have to let her...

Okay. We'll take a break.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Come, Maggie. Maggie.
Relax, relax.

I'm here, I'm here. I'm here.

We'll take a break now, okay?

You don't have to
think about it.

How is she?

Better. But she needs to rest.

I met Ebba's kids
back in Denmark.

Viktor...

and Lily.

She was so sweet,

always touching my beard.

We had lunch with her
and her husband...

What am I going to tell them?

You had nothing to do with this.
It's not your fault.

You don't understand.

I was happy...

to find out that it
was she who d*ed.

Since we found her,
I've been wishing:

"Please, let it be Ebba,"

"Please, let it be Ebba."

And now it is her...

It wasn't you who k*lled her.

But everything that
has happened here,

all the horrible things...
I'm almost drowning in it!

You should stop this.

- I can't!
- Yes, you can.

- Just wait for the police.
- I can't.

We haven't found Annika.

She might still be out
there, alive.

You don't know that for sure.

The storm is getting closer.

Did you find anything
on the phone?

No.

Nothing helpful.

Johan to Gustav,

I want you to organize
a search party.

Check every piece of
ice around the base.

Before the storm hits us.

Do you think he
did it on purpose?

Getting her in the Sno-Cat?

- Erik?
- Yeah.

I don't know.

I guess people just want to
destroy what they can't have.

Ebba was... always sad.

I don't think she ever
wanted to be here.

The ice is not for everyone.

She never came back...

after that first season with us.

Any idea why?

There was something though...

Something that happened
earlier in the winter.

Shut up.

You need to calm down, Ebba...

Let's discuss this...

Please, Ebba,
you need to calm down...

...gorevadensiger...

Why don't we let the
lovers have their quarrel?

It's always a good policy to stay
out of other people's business,

don't you think?

Gerevadensiger.

That's all I could hear.

- Gore vad hen siger.
- Gor hvad han siger.

You understand it?

"Do what he says."

Or she says.

Any idea who they
were talking about?

- I don't know.
- You're telling me that...

that Erik knew something
about what was going on?

He would never hurt Ebba...

His face, when she d*ed...

I think he really
wanted to save her.

Get her away from Polaris VI.

Almost, guys!
Come on, come on, come on!

Stop, stop!

Everybody stop, right now!

So the g*n was Erik's.

Why would he bring a
g*n to the station?

There are only two things
you can sh**t in Antarctic.

The first is penguins,
and they migrate for the winter.

That leaves the second,

people.

I think he brought
a g*n because...

he thought he'd need it.

I think he knew
something would happen.

Something terrible.

Everybody stop, right now!

Everybody!

One of you did this.

One of you k*lled Ebba!

And I want to know
who it is right now.

Now!

He was crazy.

Erik, please...

Don't move!

He was scared.

Any of you move, you're dead!

Please, put down the
g*n, please!

This was your idea
from the beginning!

You knew this would happen!

I would never do that.

Erik, you need to calm down.

This isn't you...

I should put a b*llet
in each one of you.

That's what we deserve!

All of us!

Ebba!

Ebba!

It's my fault, I...

I did it.

No, it's not your fault...

- Stop, I'm warning you!
- Okay.

Please, just listen to me.

Please.

Erik, Erik, look at me.

You're a good man, Erik.

I know you.

You take care of people

and nothing that's happened
could have changed that.

I'm not a good man... I...

Yes, you are. Yes, you are.

Okay...

Yes you are...

Don't move, you!

Erik, Erik, Erik!

- Don't!
- No, No. Erik.

Erik, remember my
very first time here?

Remember?

When nobody thought
I'd last a winter.

And I wanted to prove them all wrong.
But they weren't wrong.

And after a month,

I was barely keeping
my sh*t together.

Then one day you came to the mess
hall, remember?

You came to me and said that
they were all taking bets on me.

All taking bets on how
long before I broke down.

And you...

you'd betted on me
lasting the entire season.

And I asked you... Remember?

I asked you: "Why bet on
me?" I was a lost cause.

And then you said...

Because I should be more afraid
of making you lose two grand,

than I should be of the winter.

And in the end, you won.

And that's the kind
of man that you are.

Annika was getting to him...

Annika,
I should've let you crumble...

- No.
- You would be better off,

far from this sh*t place...

Erik was a b*mb that
was about to go off.

Well,
I should have let you crumble!

You would be better off
far from this sh*t place!

No! Erik, please,

you don't have to do this.

We can make this right, yeah?

I know this is not you.

I know you.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Maggie?

Maggie?

Maggie? Wow, wow, wow, wow!

Maggie! Hey!

Hey! Are you okay?

You are going too far, Johan.

Again and again.

She's sedated now.

You examined her.
Could she be faking it?

Johan,
I've seen a lot of T cases.

No, I find it hard to believe.

Johan,
this is not helping anybody.

- Johan.
- Yes?

We just received this from
Barts School of Medicine.

Okay.

So, she is who she says she is?

Still, she could be
working for somebody else.

No...

This is too brutal.
It's almost personal.

Yes.

Where the hell is Annika?

The storm is here...
What do you want us to do?

Get everyone inside.

We'll carry on when
it's calmed down.

This is Gustav.

- Call it off and get back.
- Yeah, got it!

Guys!

We're going back!
They're calling it off!

Over here! Over here!

I think I've found something!

Quick, call Johan!

Get away! Away!

Find me.

Johan.

She was there, the whole time.

Right there...

Oh, my god...

Frozen...

I shouldn't have
let her come back.

Johan.

Let's leave.
We'll let Micke take care of this.

I'm staying.

Okay.

Johan...

does Annika have an
intramedullary nail?

What?

A nail from a...
bone fracture surgery?

- No...
- Look here. Right leg.

No, I would have known.

I would have known.

It's not her.

But everyone is accounted for...

Nobody else is missing
from Polaris VI.

Then...

Who are you?
