01x07 - Lost and Found

Post by bunniefuu »

- This is coast guard

6-7-5-9er.

I'm not seeing any movement.

No sign of ting or his machine.

Ice conditions

don't look good over here.

We're coming up on hour five,

so we're heading back to refuel.

Over.

- Copy that.

Well, that's one more

quadrant searched,

But we gotta move

faster than this.

- We're gonna find him,

right, jeffrey?

- We hope so.

- Ting's an experienced hunter.

- Even experienced hunters

can get into trouble.

Especially now with the sea ice

being so unpredictable.

- Jeffrey.

- You could fall through

The ice, down a crevasse.

- Jeffrey!

- God forbid that a polar bear

picks up their scent!

- Jeffrey!

- We'll find him.

It's what we do.

Dead or alive.

- Alive, jeffrey! Alive!

(pensive music)

(dramatic rock music)

- (colin) ullaakkut, ice cove.

Ting's rescue effort

Has been working hard overnight,

but no new updates.

We need more hunters to sign up

for the ground search, though,

So please come on down.

And that was another song from

the search for ting playlist.

And we're still here,

broadcasting live

With all the latest updates

from the rescue.

And I have a note from elisapee.

Um, we have enough bannock,

thank you.

Ahem.

- (siaja) hey, mikey.

Thanks so much for coming.

The sign-up sheet's over there.

Make sure to grab some bannock.

- Ok. Thank you.

- Wow, it's so beautiful

That the community's

just really pulling together.

- Siaja! Siaja! Hey.

How you feeling?

- (alexis) hi, you!

Oh, my god.

This is so horrible.

Anyway, I know we just met,

but if there's anything

That kuuk and I could do to help

you find your husband

- My ex-husband.

- Oh, don't think like that!

He's not dead yet.

- Lexi!

(pop ringtone playing)

- oh! sh**t.

It's ryan reynolds's people.

I have to take this.

(kuuk sighs)

- siaja, look.

I'm sorry about last night.

Ok? I didn't mean for

- Yeah. You don't need

to explain anything.

It's not really the time

or the place.

- No, no, no, of course.

I just I just want

to say I'm sorry, ok?

- I'm happy you and alexis

are working things out.

She seems Really great.

- My dear ex-daughter-in-law.

- (siaja) geela.

(geela speaking inuktut)

- (geela) any updates?

- (siaja) no.

Uh, they're still

searching the gullies.

But ting's going to be ok.

He knows what

he's doing out there.

(speaking inuktut)

- (geela) he will be ok.

It's called manifestation.

Besides, his father

taught him well.

Bless his soul.

But I'm afraid ting's

inner compass has been broken.

By you. You broke it. Hmm?

(woman scoffs)

- Hi, judy.

- Why don't you come

rest in my office?

(tense music)

- (alistair) ready?

One, two, three. Show 'em!

Aha! You know what?

- Hmm?

- If you take

my king and my queen

And mr. Cheese's jack,

You, my friend,

have a royal flush.

You know what that means? No?

You win again! Yay!

- Yes! We won!

- Take all my buttons.

(bun giggles)

(cell phone ringing)

it's mama.

Hey.

Any news?

- (siaja) not yet.

How's bun?

- (alistair) she is great.

She's a little card shark!

Aren't you, bun?

- When ataata comes back, I'm

gonna kick his butt at cards!

(sighs)

- what if he doesn't come back?

How do I explain that to bun?

- Siaja, do not lose hope.

All right? Ting will be fine.

- His mom says I broke

his inner compass.

- She sounds pleasant.

(chuckles)

- (siaja) thank you

for being there for bun.

You know, you're not

so bad at this grandpa stuff.

- Thanks.

- Bye.

- Ok, bye.

- Mr. Scruffles is my favourite!

(call ends)

sorry, mr. Cheese.

(pensive music)

(gasps)

- Jeffrey! Ting and his dad

used to have

A favourite lookout spot

for hunting caribou, um,

If you, uh I think

it's this place!

- Iviarannaaq!

It means big breasts.

- Hmm. I've seen bigger.

- Can we check here?

- Yeah, but it's in the opposite

direction of where he said--

- Please, jeffrey, please!

I have a good feeling

About this.

We have to try!

- (colin) we're coming up

on 24 hours

Of the search

for ting broadcast.

(colin coughing)

And if you're starting to feel

a little under the weather,

You're not alone.

And ting, if you're listening,

we're coming for you, buddy.

(man whistling

"believe" by cher)

(wind gusting)

- You hungry there, boss?

(distant whirring)

Wait, what?

Oh! Hey! Heck, yeah!

(radio static)

- We're approaching the area.

Nothing yet. Stand by.

- (ting) hey!

- Debris has been spotted.

I think we're seeing

a sled here!

Lost person located!

He looks ok.

(excited exclamations)

Repeat, he looks ok.

- (millie) I knew we were

gonna find him. He's ok.

He's gonna be ok.

- Woo! Ataata's home!

You got any yogurt?

- Ouch!

- Oh! Are you ok?

- Don't worry about me.

I'm basically thor.

(siaja laughs)

- You need to sit down.

- Thanks for bringing me home.

The place looks spotless.

You've been busy.

- Yeah, I may have done some

stress cleaning while you were

At the health centre.

- Hey, would it be ok

If she stayed with me tonight?

- And anaana too?

- Uh, no, bun. I

- It's ok with me.

I could actually use the help.

- (bun) please?

- I'll take the couch.

(bun gasps)

(pleasant piano music)

(elisapee speaking inuktut)

- Ting is home, colin's sick,

But god is always here.

So, welcome

to blessings with elisapee.

(elisapee lip syncs)

- what a friend we have ♪

in jesus ♪

- Don't forget your backpack!

- (bun) yep! Love you.

Bye!

(door shuts)

- What are you doing up?

You should be resting.

- Those new earrings?

They look great.

- Uh, thanks.

(ting grunts)

- I read this book

on love languages,

And I realized yours is

words of affirmation.

(school bus honks twice)

- Um Ting, I know

you're on the mend,

But you're not quite ready

to take care of bun on your own.

So maybe I should stick

around a bit longer.

- Yeah, that'd be great.

You can take my room.

- No, the couch is fine.

I don't want bun

to get the wrong idea.

- Yeah, of course.

- I gotta go to work.

But your lunch is in the fridge

and your soup is--

- Take the truck.

(keys jingle)

(playful music)

- Really? Thanks.

Gotta get this place

presentation perfect.

- Ugh. Nerd. Yes!

- Ugh!

- 7 to 3 for me! Heh-heh.

- All right.

- Ladies!

- Oh, ah, helen!

Uh, the ladder's missing.

- Quick pep talk.

Uh, our pitch

for the research station

Is coming up real soon.

And this This speech

that you wrote,

It is, as the kids say,

hot garbage.

Ok? I need some pizzazz.

You're the inuk face

of this pitch.

They need to believe you!

Pep talk over.

- Ok

- Hey, by the way, siaja,

Did I see you

at ting's house this morning?

- Huh?

- Uh, I'm just staying there

for a few days until,

You know, ting gets better.

- Hmm.

- You are so lucky I don't have

a dart right now.

Seven years to get out of there

and it only takes you two days

To go back?

(upbeat bright music)

- Anybody home?

- (bun) boo!

Did we surprise you, anaana?

- (ting) look at him go.

Look at him go!

Oh! There he goes!

There he goes!

(all laughing)

Come here. Come see this.

I made bun's favourite.

(ting speaking indistinctly)

- (ting) "anouk is

collecting rocks."

"why don't we

all play together?"

- me and god go way back,

way back ♪

(hip-hop music playing)

- And get this.

I found ting listening

To cardigan last night,

bawling his eyes out.

- Ting's a swiftie?

- I know!

He's just so much more in touch

with his emotions now.

- Ting's always been in touch

with his own emotions.

It's other people's.

It's a slippery slope.

- You make him sound

like a total narcissist.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

I meant to make him sound

Like a total d*uche.

- Ugh

- You always do this!

You take one step forward

And then, like,

a thousand steps back.

- You don't know what

you're talking about.

He's really working

on himself.

(siaja sighs)

(phone notification)

I gotta bounce.

Ting's picking me up.

Everything's actually

really good.

Even neevee's doing great, ok?

We'll catch up later.

- Sure. See you.

Neevee.

- I'm working.

(neevee sighs)

- come on, it's been a week.

You ignored my texts,

my calls. Can you just

Can we at least talk?

- I'm done talking.

- Hey.

I'm done running.

Neev.

(neevee sighs)

- what?

(neevee sniffles)

what?

- I never stopped loving you.

Never.

Hey.

Neevee, you're not gonna

scare me away, ok?

Not this time.

(door bell jingles)

- Heya, neevee. Sup, bro?

- Who's that?

- Hey, look what I found.

I've been squinting for a week.

(chuckles)

They were still

on the nightstand.

("sinnatuumait"

(dreams) by elisapie)

- (ting) babe,

can you come here?

I got something to show you.

- Wow! What's all this?

- Heh.

I've been seeing how hard

helen has you working,

And I wanted to do

something nice.

- I have to go to

the community centre tonight.

And I need to fix the pitch

for the research station.

(ting laughs)

- siaja, nobody likes research.

You know you're

gonna k*ll it anyway.

And I even got my mom

to pick up bun for the night

So you can rest.

- You were talking

to your snowman!

You're insane!

- I was all alone.

("sinnatuumait"

playing over radio)

I don't know

what happened out there.

I was driving fast.

My ski hit a rock

under the snow.

The next thing I know,

I was rolling down the hill.

Broke my machine,

broke my beacon.

It was like everything

went wrong all at once.

The whole time

I was stuck out there,

I just kept thinking

I have to get home

For bun.

I couldn't let her go through

what I did when my dad died.

- It was all

I could think about.

You mean everything to bun.

- Yeah. We did

one thing right.

(siaja chuckles)

- yeah, we did.

- Sorry.

(radio fades out)

(door opens)

(man speaking inuktut)

- Siaja? Um Yeah.

I guess she's not

into chess anymore.

- You bring her meat?

- Um

No, we're not--

we're not together.

- Because you didn't

bring her meat?

(chuckles)

- Can I tell you something?

Just don't tell anyone.

I've been really going

through some sh*t

For the past couple years.

I was having all these

panic attacks and

I flunked out of law school.

I had this

Consuming hyperfixation

On christopher plummer movies,

you know.

And my girlfriend, my ex,

She was doing

all these amazing things

And setting up all these events

and had a plan

And I'm just at home watching

The sound of music

for the 13th time.

You know how it is.

Now, she comes here, and she's

giving me a second chance

And I just feel so

(kuuk sighs)

Confused.

I don't know what to do.

Ahem. Doesn't matter.

My job out here is almost done,

and then, I'm

I'm just going back home

to ottawa, right?

- Ottawa

Just where you live.

This is your home.

- I know. I know. I'm

- Moving backwards.

(eerie murmuring)

- (ting) babe?

- I'm just in the tub.

- Ok.

Love you.

- Oh-h*-h*!

(nuliajuq laughs)

Babe?

I said I love you.

- Loser!

(water gurgling)

- I love you too, ting.

Is that so hard to say?

(intriguing music)

(door opens)

You're up early.

- Oh, I was trying

not to wake you.

- Hey, last night.

It was so great.

I missed you so much.

- Oh! Um

Ting, have you seen my phone?

- No. Maybe you left

it in the truck?

(cell phone vibrating)

- What is this doing in there?

- How should I know?

- Ugh. Back to old habits,

I see.

I can't believe I fell for this.

- Babe, come on.

Last night was so perfect.

Then, I seen that text

And I guess I

I guess I overreacted.

- What text?

- From your friend,

Mr. Ottawa fancy pants.

I see the way he looks at you!

And the way you look at him.

- Ting, I'm so glad

You're working on yourself,

but this was a mistake.

And I see getting laid

healed your arm.

- You walk out that door again,

it's over!

- Ting, my love language

isn't compliments.

It's being listened to.

- Crap. Are you sure?

(rhythmic electronic music)

- (alistair) we need to talk.

(intense electronic music)

- You run out of clothes

at ting's?

- Bun and I are moving out.

- What are you talking about?

- I saw alistair.

He said he's leaving town.

- What's that got to do with me?

- Is that all you have to say?

God, I wish I knew

how to help you.

But you're so messed up,

where would I even start?

- You could start by not being

such a drama queen.

- You know what?

It's not just about alistair

or about the fact

That you kept my father

from me my entire life.

It's you. You're the problem.

You are the mother

of all problems.

- Oh, my god!

You're always talking

about how I wronged you

Or ting wronged you.

God, grow up.

- Oh, I'd like to.

But I didn't have

parents to raise me.

Why do you think I ran away

to ting in the first place?

- Ah!

- No! Ugh! No!

What is wrong with you?!

What are you doing?!
