[horn]

[horn]

[in Spanish] You're not taking me
with you, are you?

Not again, Charlie,
I've told you a thousand times.

The cabins are tiny.
You would really hate it.

No, because...

I'd have Blanda with me.

Look, I'll be back in three months.

So you keep to yourself,

stay out of trouble,
and behave yourself.

Miss Rosa will look after you.

Ok, I'll keep to myself.

- You keep to yourself.
- I'll keep to myself, ok.

But when you take me,
I can touch the horn, right?

- Touch the horn?
- Say I can.

- It's sound the horn, Charlie.
- Yes, yes, sound.

That's not up to me,
it's up to the Captain.

Sound, the Captain.

- He has to give you permission.
- Yes.

Will you ask him?

- I promise I will.
- So you're going to take me.

- One day.
- Ok.

- One day, bro.
- Ok.

Have a good trip.

Thank you, Charlie.

- [kiss]
- [Charlie breathes deeply]

Come on. Let's go.

[whispering] Okay, okay, Blanda.
We're going home now.

Are you f*cking kidding me?

Hey, hey, hey! What's that?

Is there a rat in your pocket?

Look at me!

I want you to go outside right now
and leave that in the f*cking street.

f*cking ret*rd.

Come on, hurry up!

You should be locked up!

Locked up in a cage!

[beeps]

Come on, hurry, go.

[mysterious music]

[Charlie pants]

What the hell are you doing here?

Why aren't you at work?

- What's happened?
- I haven't done anything.

What's happened? What's wrong?

He started it.

- He started it.
- What did he start?

What's happened, Charlie?

[mysterious music]

[opening music]

[in English] I have a pet.

I have a pet.

Her name is...

is Blanda.

It's a rat.

She's my...

my best friend.

So I don't want to call him "disabled",

I want to call him...

He's lucky enough to have been able
not to grow to become an adult

and turn into the sh*t we all are.

[whispering] So what do you think?

About what?

[whispering] About the horn...

Do you think the Captain will let me
if I ask him nicely?

I don't know, Charlie. Maybe another time.

[louder] When? When?

Eat everything up.

It's never the right time.

[light music]

Yes, Captain... You called...

[whispering] Sit down.

We have bad news.

We have a DNA match.

- It's conclusive.
- f*ck your DNA, man.

It's Charlie.

He didn't do it, Captain.

How can you be so sure?

Because he's my brother!

Tell us something we don't know.

No! No, no.

Captain, please.

You have to believe me,
he is being framed.

We're not judging him here, Oscar.

He will be able to defend himself
when the time comes.

[Oscar] Just like Marcus, right?

[Alec] The Chilean police
will handle the investigation

when we arrive at Valparaíso.
Until then, we need to lock him up.

[Renaud] I'm sorry, Oscar.

We can't risk it.

We just wanted to let you know.

Charlie!

Charlie!

- What's going on?
- Charlie.

- [Wil] You drugged his food?
- Don't look at me.

[mysterious music]

[heartbeats]

[panting]

Hey.

Hey, it's all right.

It's all right.

I'm here.

I'm here.

[melancholic music]

[whispering] It's all right.

- How are you feeling?
- [Racher hesitates]

I am...

A little dizzy.

You just need to rest.

Be careful.

How close was it?

[sighs]
Your pulse was gone.

But Alec brought you back.

You're going to be all right.

[knock on the door]

[Rachel] Hey.

Hey.

- Hi.
- How you doing?

- Yeah.
- You all right?

Better.

- Did you tell her?
- No.

We found a DNA match.

[tension music]

[Amy] So what do you want?

My brother is innocent.

I promise you.

One of you Einsteins must have manipulated
the DNA test in order to frame him.

- Why destroy the equipment then?
- How the f*ck should I know?

Maybe because it looks like
something Charlie would do.

So who could it be?

I don't know.

You gotta do better than that, Amy.

The other day, when you made
that phone call from the sat-phone,

you said you were calling home.

I checked the number.

Qatar?

[mysterious music]

- I have nothing to do with the murders.
- Well, neither does my brother.

You better find me something
I can use to get him off the hook,

otherwise
I'm gonna have to go talk to Alec.

- Oscar...
- Listen to me. You have until sunset.

I'll meet you right here.

Fine...

[mysterious music]

My name is Margaret Emilia Mitchell.

[man] You were a member
of the Polaris VI crew, weren't you?

Yes. I was the doctor appointed to be
at the base for the winter.


Have a look.
[sighs]

Can you cr*ck it?

Yeah, I can try.

The sooner the better.

No news from Icegirl?

Nope.

Keep me posted.

Aye, aye, sir.

He was compulsive.

He told me he had
over of those back home.

[Alec] This one was completed
over a week ago.

The rest are all prior.

But where was the last one he was using?

Why?

Because it's missing, that's why.

Hey.

Can you keep a secret?

Remember the Polaris case?

Maggie Mitchell?

Yeah, of course.

Her real name is Olivia Jackson,
daughter of Sarah Jackson,

who d*ed in Polaris V.

What?

See.

Are you serious?

[mysterious music]

Wait...

[Gloria] Who's that?

[Yuto] That's... Sylvia.

Maggie's sister.

[mysterious music]

[steps approachig]

[melancholic music]

[Maggie] Thank you, Syl.

Do you remember
the last time we were here?

We were with Mom,
you must've been about, I dunno, five?

And you went mental
because I broke your CD player.

[laughing] Yeah, I wanted to k*ll you.

[Sylvia] Here.

Look at this.

Lou Kowalski.

[Sylvia] It's from his Instagram.

[Maggie] Who's that?

[Sylvia] Rachel Russo.

Arthur's daughter.

Yeah.

She's an amazing marine biologist too.

Trinity College.

I tried to get in touch with her
at her lab but...

guess what.

She left nine weeks ago.

Exactly.

She must be a part of Arthur's team.

I just don't understand
why we can't trace them.

I have her last known address.

Sandyford...

it's only a couple of hours away
from here.

Ok.

[door]

[tension music]

[Maggie screams]

[coughing]

[Sylvia screams]

[man suffocates]

[door]

[sh**t]

[wind]

[something falls]

[Sylvia pants]

[coughing]

[sad music]

It's ok.

I don't want to...

I'm here. I've got you.

Look at me, hi.

Hi.

Ok?

[crying] Syl.

Sylvia.

[cries]

Syl!

[sad music]

Is it worth it?

Was any of it?

You don't understand.

I don't.

k*lling Arthur will not bring her back.

Or your mother.

That's why I didn't k*ll him.

I wanted him to suffer.

That isn't working either, is it?

I'm not done yet.

I will find Arthur...

and his daughter.

And then what?

[sad music]

[trembling]

[sad music]

Ok, I get it.

But even if Maggie Mitchell
k*lled everyone in Antarctica,

she's not on this ship, is she?

Yeah, but it must all be related,
don't you think?

I'm not so sure.

Usually, the best explanation
is the simpliest one.

There's nothing simple here.

There is.

Do you realize just how much
our research is worth?

Someone's trying to steal it?

[beep]

OK. Here we go.

Let's hope Kowalski
didn't choose a long password.

Trial an error? Really?

Yeah. We got some muscle here.

But yeah. Fingers crossed.

[tension music]

[panting]

[in Spanish] Hello.

Hello. Hello!

Is anybody there?

Is anybody there?

Hello?

Hello.

[screaming] Oscar!

Oscar, come here!

Come here, Oscar!

Oscar, Oscar!

Oscar!

Oscar!

Come here!

Where are you?

Oscar!

Come here, Oscar!

Oscar!

[hitting the door]

Where are you?

- Oscar, where are you?
- Here! Here, Charlie!

Charlie, I'm here. It's ok.

[panting]

Oscar...

Open the door. I want to come out.

I can't, Charlie.

They won't let me.

So you have to be very calm and wait.

- Ok?
- No...

No...

I don't want to wait.

- I want to come out.
- I know, bro, I know.

But it's not that easy.

Yes! It is that easy!

Open the door and I come out.
And that's it.

Where's Blanda?

I don't know, but I'm going to find her
and bring her to you.

But you have to promise me
you'll be much calmer.

- I haven't...
- Ok?

I haven't done anything.

Why have you locked me up?

I haven't done anything.

I know you haven't, bro.

I know, that's why everything will be ok.

I swear, ok?

No!

No! Get me out of here!

Get me out of here, Oscar!

Oscar!
[hitting the door]

Oscar, come here!

Please, Oscar!

Get me out!

I want to come out!

Oscar, Oscar!

Oscar! Get me out!

Get me out!

Oscar!

[in English] What is it?

Why would Charlie want to k*ll me?

Or Kowalski?

And not to mention cutting off his head.
It just doesn't add up.

Who said he's on his own?

What if someone is using him?

Only three days to go.

[Rachel smiles]

He'll be fine.

Yeah. Will we?

[whispering] Trust me.

I might.

Thank you for saving my life.

It's all right.

What?

[sighing]
It was scary.

It's not the first time I tried CPR.

Didn't work then.

Afghanistan?

Yeah.

You know how it feels
to take another man's life, don't you?

I do.

Ok.

Well, now you know
how it feels to give one back.

[Alec whispers] It's over.

[Amy] We lost some during the blackout.

How much?

%.

Just minutes.

Darkness kills it.

That's what darkness does.

But that's not what's bothering you,
is it?

All these containers we're carrying...

Are you sure they're empty?

As far as I know, yes.

Oscar...

What about him?

[tension music]

I saw him sneak out of the cargo bay.

And then,
when he realized that I'd seen him,

he told me
that I shouldn't wander around the ship.

And it sounded like a thr*at.

I think he's hiding something.

My biggest success in life is
that I've been able to do what I do,

to be free doing it,

to make a buck or two

and to be a father for Charlie,

like our father was not for us.

I don't like fear.

And when I...

When I feel that, my brother is with me.

And he always helps me.

[sad music]

[Charlie pants]

See? They're all empty.

Check them all.

Every single bloody one.

We'll do.

What are we looking for?

Are you % sure

- you saw Oscar come this way?
- Yes.

The man rolls his cigarettes, doesn't he?

This one.

[tension music]

[Arthur whispers] Bastard.

- [Alec] What the f*ck is this?
- [Amy] I've never seen one before.

f*cking bastards...

What is it?

It's a portable PBR, like...

but battery operated,

designed to transport
living algae samples.

m*therf*cking bastards!

[tension music]

[panting]

Someone is trying to steal my research!

And someone has smuggled this
onto the ship!

On your f*cking watch!

I understand...

Do you?!

Maybe if you'd spent less time
f*cking around on my daughter,

you'd have kept your eye on the ball.

[tension music]

[rat]

[breathing deeply]

[shouting]

[tension music]

Blanda?

Blanda!

We found a second PBR
in one of the containers on main deck.

How did that get on my ship?

I don't know. But Oscar is Chief Engineer,
he's got nothing to do with the cargo.

And who's in charge of that?

I am. And I had no idea.

[alarm]

[Erika] We're losing power.

[beeps]

Oscar! Come on, Oscar! Pick it up!

[Erika] We've lost the main engine, sir,

the emergency generator
will be on straight away.

Oscar!

Oscar!

[telephone]

Yes.

What the f*ck is going on?

The engine is down, sir.

I know it is! Why?

I've stopped it, that's why.

[tension music]

Hello?

Charlie?

They let you out?

[tension music]

[panting]

Get it back on, now!

[Oscar] With all due respect, sir,

I'm not gonna do such a thing
until you release my brother.

We found what you hid
in one of the containers,

you piece of scum!
Who are you working for?

What?

You got your brother to k*ll Kowalski,
didn't you?

I did not!

And listen to me, you crazy bastard,

me and my brother
had nothing to do with it, all right?

- Charlie is out.
- [Alec] What?

He's out.

He's out, he's escaped from his room.

[tension music]

Stay here, ok?

What was that?

[whispering] Nothing.

Be careful.

Yeah.

[Yuto] Hey. What's going on?

That Charlie has gone berserk...

[Yuto and Gloria] What?

- Why has the ship stopped?
- It's fine, Alec's sorting it.

- What happened?
- Charlie's out, he escaped somehow.

- You saw him?
- Yeah. He didn't even recognize me.

It's like he snapped or something.

[Yuto] You all right?

[Rachel] Yeah.

[water]

What's going on?

[Erika] Oscar stopped the engine
and Charlie's escaped.

Are we adrift?

And a storm is coming.

Look what you've done! Are you happy now?

Where's Renaud?

Looking for Charlie.

[Renaud] We are on level .
We are stucked in this level.

We? Who's we?

Captain, what are you doing?

I'm getting Charlie.

Oscar is with me.

The f*cking saboteur?

I know exactly where he is

and I'm gonna try to convince him
to turn himself in, ok?

[Renaud] Oscar will get the engine
back on when Charlie is under control.

Like hell he will!

Listen to me, pal.

My brother can f*cking lose it

when he feels threatened
or scared and trust me,

you don't wanna see him like that. Ok?

At this point I'm the only one
who can talk to him, get it?

Renaud, listen to me.
Come back to the bridge.

It's our only chance.

Trust me on this one.

Renaud!

Renaud!

Renaud!

Thank you, Captain.

[Oscar, in Spanish] Charlie!
You have to come out!

[in English] I can't f*cking believe this!

The light in the PBR is not working.

What does that mean?

My algae are dying!

Ergo, we lose everything.

That's what it means!

The emergency generator
is not wired for that.

Well, fix it!

That would be Oscar's job.

Or Charlie's.

Charlie!

Charlie!

[tension music]

[panting]

[Oscar] Blanda...

That's a trail.

Charlie.

[in Spanish] Come on, bro.
Don't make this more difficult.

[Renaud, in English] Charlie,
you need to come with us.

Take the starboard.

[tension music]

[steps approaching]

- [Charlie screams]
- Char...!

No...

[sad music]

What have you done, son?

Charlie!

[tension music]

My biggest fear?

[sigh]

That I die leaving Charlie by himself.

[credits music]
