"Where are all the others?"

- Polaris V, the old station.
- Why?

We came back for the comms.

"They were looking for something..."

We need to find the suitcase...

"I don't think it was the radio."

"We found a body buried outside
the station."

It's Sarah Jackson.

"We had a causality incident
in the last station..."

"Unfortunately we lost a dear
college of us,

Sarah Jackson."

It's my fault.

"Sarah didn't die in the fire."

She was m*rder*d.

"They wanted to get rid
of the evidence.

This was it.

This was what they were all
looking for."

It's me, Damian.

Please, listen to me.

I left a gift for you. Inside Polaris.

"That thing you thought you got rid of,

well, you didn't.

What I want

is for you to wake up
every morning thinking that,

maybe it's still down there.

That when the ice melts,"

they'll go down there

and they'll find it.

And then everybody'll know
what you've done

to Sarah Jackson, and all of us.

"I know you're incapable of guilt.

But fear?

That will do."

"This was it."

This was what
they were all looking for.

Oh, sh*t!

"When Theseus entered the Labyrinth..."

Ariadne gave him a ball of thread

so he could find his way back to her.

"That phone cable,

was my very own ball of thread."

sh*t.

"There was nothing we could salvage.

We were trapped."

I'm afraid, by that time,
we were running out of moves.

Maggie? It's me.

"Can anybody hear me?"

I've found the comms room.

There is nothing left.
It's completely destroyed.

"I think we should head back."

- Okay.
- "Roger that."

This way.

Annika?

Annika? Do you hear me?

Annika?

- Annika!
- Annika!

Annika!

- Annika!
- Annika!

Annika?

Annika.

You okay?

I...

I got lost. I...

I...

I got lost...

She had two daughters...

"Annika!"

She's here!

Why don't we take Sarah back?

I needed the body.

I couldn't prove she'd been
m*rder*d without an autopsy.

What do you think?

Yeah...

Yeah, I'd like that.

We don't have enough room.

Yes, we do.
If we lose some of the gear.

Let's take her home.

"I knew they didn't like it."

But they had to keep
the charade going, for us.

Okay.

Okay.

"It was the right thing to do."

Her family needed closure.

She's secured.

Alright, let's do the tents
and then we'll go.

Ok, just give me a minute.

Annika!

Cheescake...

I'll go talk to her.

Cherry pie, cheese...

Annika?

Are you okay?

Dream cake,

cherry pie,

and cheesecake.

"What was she saying?"

Dream cake...

Cherry pie?

f*ck...

Sorry...

It was blueberry.

Danish dream cake on Mondays,

blueberry pie on Wednesdays,

cheesecake on Fridays.

The dessert menu at Polaris V.

And she would always be there,
sitting alone in a corner.

Head down.

Taking notes, doing some work.

- That's how you met her?
- Yeah.

I was leaving at the end
of the summer, so I mustered

the courage to chat her up.

And the first thing she said to me is:

"You're the guy that's eating
those shitty cakes."

So I had to buy her one,

show her what she was missing.

I didn't see her
until the end of winter,

after the rescue.

I went to the hospital to visit her.

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect.

How was she?

I'd seen that look before, you know?

On people who leave but...

in here... they haven't.

"I brought a blueberry pie."

"And suddenly, out of nothing,
she started laughing."

"But it's Friday!"

"At first,
I didn't know what she meant,

then she reminded me that
Friday was cheesecake day."

So, I got her out of bed, and we...

went down to the cafeteria, and we...

we found some cheesecake.

It was sh*t. It was so bad.

But it didn't matter.

We found eachother again.

"I hope you find her."

Why did she...

say that?

I think the T
was getting to her memories.

That, I think it's a survival thing.

Your body...

takes you back
to a time when you felt safe.

Come on.

Come on, we have to go.

Come on.

The storm will abate in a few hours.

As soon as it's safe, we'll send
the search party to Polaris V.

What if she's not there?

- Johan...
- What if she never made it?

What if she made it just to...

starve or freeze to death?

I...

We will find her, Johan.

I know we will.

"Johan, the forecast is good.

I come back to the air."

"What happened next?"

It's all a blur.

It's...

We went back to Polaris...

Maggie?

Maggie?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I found this at Polaris V.

What's this?

If it's Sarah's blood,
it means she was m*rder*d

And that's the reason
for all the killings?

Yes.

One of them is the k*ller.

They're all involved somehow,
but only one is k*lling for it.

And the others don't know who it is.

So he can't k*ll us
in front of the others.

He has to wait until...

we are alone.

Help, we need to block it!

He cannot get in.

I'm sure he'll try again.

Get me some needles.

I've got enough propofol
to put an elephant to sleep.

We get him, and this nightmare is over.

We had a plan.

It wasn't a good one,
but we had a plan.

The problem was, he had one too.

Fifteen degrees and dropping.

He's turned off the power
and the heating.

This place is insulated,

so we have some time.

- But not much.
- Where're the controls?

The comms room.

He's trying to flush us out.
What do we do?

Maggie?

Maggie!

You can't fall asleep.

If you sleep, you may not wake up.

Okay?

Mm...

Okay, let's talk.

Talk?

About what?

Tell me what you'll do,

once we get out of here.

Out of the infirmary?

No, I mean...

out, out.

Home.

I'll go for a beer with my sister,

celebrate my first
successful polar winter.

I'll buy a ton of ice and melt it.

As revenge.

Don't make me laugh.

I just want to...

lose myself...

in something.

In someone.

Aki...

You're afraid of me?

No, it's not that...

Then what?

We can't make plans.

Of course we can.

We're trapped in the middle
of the f*cking ice,

and we can't get out.

Whether it's the cold, or...

the k*ller outside, or...

Or Erik snaps, or the power dies, or...

Or we'll just go crazy,
waiting for it all to end.

We won't die...

You don't know that.

We won't.

Saying it won't make it happen.

What happened next?

What happened next, Maggie?

I'm going to make a run for it.

You can't.

You were right.

We cannot just wait here
until it's over.

- Wait here. I'll go check.
- Okay.

sh*t.

Heating is back... Oh, sh*t!

Aki!

"Who was he?"

Who att*cked you?

I don't know.

I couldn't see his face.

Help me! Help me, Erik!
Help me, help me, help me!

Help me, please. Please!

Please, help me.

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

Erik!

Let me in!

Let me in, you f*cking coward!
Let me in!

I'm sorry...

I k*lled him...

I k*lled Ramon.

You had to. You had no choice, Maggie.

- Maggie.
- Johan, come here.

This is not working anymore.

What she has been through...

Okay.

This questioning is over.

Where are you going?

Maggie,

after what you've gone through,

I can't let in good conscience...

No!

Let's get this over with.

I need to know...

I need to know!

You've come to finish the job?

You might as well.

Yeah, you keep your mouth shut.
Keep your f*cking mouth shut!

In the meantime people keep dying

because of your silence!

I had no choice...

Is that what you told Ebba?

When she came asking for help?

You told her to keep her mouth shut,

and now she's f*cking dead!

Aki!

Aki!

Aki!

Aki!

Aki!

It's okay. It's me, it's me, it's me!

Okay.

You're okay? Come on, come on.

You're okay.

What?

Are you okay?

It's not mine.

It's okay, it's okay.

It was Ramon.

It's okay.

Sarah!

Come on, come on!

Oh, f*ck.

Ramon, he wasn't working alone.

Arthur? Annika?

Oh, sh*t.

We were trying to figure out

why he wanted Sarah's body.

Sarah was gone and...

our chances of finding out
what happened to her were

quickly disappearing.

We went to Ramon's room.

We wanted to see if we could

find something there.

And what did you find?

I can't remember...

There are still some places...

No, I can't.

If I took you there, would that help?

Johan...

If we took you there.

I don't know, maybe.

"This place doen't give a sh*t

if we live or die."

"What is going on?"

"Empathy will only get you k*ll."

"Please stop, just let us go!"

"He could have done it..."

"It could be anyone."

What are we looking for?

THOUGHTS B. PASCAL

"Universidad Complutense."

He checked out this one years ago,

and never returned it.

We found his phone in here.

We were trying to unlock it.

Aki!

Maybe there's something in here.

It's locked.

Fancy a guess?

Only a million combinations,
easier to win the lottery.

It's all encrypted,

we couldn't read anything.

I think Aki had an idea...

All of these books,

they're fairly new.

But not this one.

He's had it for nearly years.

He was obsessed with it...

So, I'm thinking...

If Pascal was his favourite writer...

A Pascal Triangle.

It's a number pattern,

every number is the sum
of the ones directly above it.

Somebody could use it
to create a series of numbers...

What's that?

I think we used
these numbers to open the phone.

- Get the phone.
- Yeah.

He could just recreate it
with the formula.

- Worth a sh*t.
- Well...

There are several options.

But it's six digits,

and the sixth row

is the first one
that has six unmirrored numbers.

So, one, six, one,

two, zero.

Yeah.

Nothing recent.

He deleted all
his conversations, even emails.

But he seems to have
lots of pictures and videos.

What is this sh*t?

What is it?

This is horrible...

What kind of a person
keeps this on his phone?

The kind of person that enjoys it...

The kind of person
who's turned on by that sh*t.

Maybe Sarah found out...

That's why he k*lled her.

But what about the rest?

Why k*ll them too?
Did they all find out?

What if it wasn't Sarah who found out?

This sh*t can send you to jail.

- If someone else knew...
- Blackmail?

Maybe.

What's wrong, Maggie?

I think there was something else
on the phone.

Polaris V.

This picture.

Look.

This was taken the night of the fire.

The night Sarah Jackson d*ed, look.

The sweater.

It was him.

Arthur k*lled Sarah Jackson.

Are you sure about this?

I think so...

It has to have been him.

Where's the sweater?

I took it and then...

And?

- I can't remember.
- Think, Maggie.

- I'm trying...
- Then, try harder.

Johan, we should go back to her room.

"Arthur Wilde.

He is one of the most brilliant
scientists in the world."

"He is a very...

prominent...

and seemingly efficient researcher."

"He is...

very good at what he does.

And...

we started this together
and we'll finish it together."

"So, I guess

he is very focused
the success of his research."

"His research is just amazing.

He gave me this incredible opportunity.

For me it's a big honor
to work with him."

"He is doing good things...

for the planet and I...

admire that."

Erik.

No, Erik.

Erik, Erik.

"No!"

"Where's Sarah's body now?
Where is it?"

It's downstairs!

Please, please...

Erik.

Erik, put the g*n down.

Stay away from this.

I can't let you do this, Erik.

Have you seen what he just did
with Sarah's body?

You were right, Maggie.

I should've done this eight years ago.

Arthur needs to go home
and answer for what he did.

Sarah deserves that.

Sarah, yes!

- But he doesn't.
- Stop him, please!

You shut up!

I can't hide you anymore.

I know him better than you do.

You let him open his wretched mouth,

and you'll regret it
your entire f*cking life.

Let him be, Maggie.
He f*cking deserves it.

You see? Aki is right with me.

No! That'd be the easy way out for him.

And we wouldn't want that.

The world deserves
to know what he's done.

Come on, Erik!

I can't hide him anymore.

Erik!

Erik!

Erik! Erik, stay with me!

Erik!

Erik!

Erik, Erik! Erik, stay with me!

He was going to k*ll me.

I was getting to him!

The man snapped.

He's not the one I'm afraid of.

He was going to k*ll you too.

Go!

Aki, what are you doing?

Run!

"...this is an SOS...

If anyone is listening...

please contact

the International Emergency
Response Team immediately.

We've lost all of our
satellite communication,

and we are in urgent need
of medical assistance."

Yeah, you scared me, Maggie

I thought... I...
For a moment there, I...

I just...

- What are you doing?
- "My name...

- is Dr. Annika Lundqvist..."
- Yeah...

- Are you okay?
- "...member of

the scientific expedition
at Polaris VI."

I'm not... I'm not... I'm not sure.

"...this is an SOS..."

I think I need to see a doctor.
I need to see a doctor...

Where's Lars? Have you seen Lars?

Doctor Lars Olander?

Yeah, he'll know what to do.

Maybe I can help you.
What are you feeling?

Yeah...

I feel my mind slipping, you know? I...

I spent... I spent
half an hour this morning,

struggling to put my boots on.

I couldn't make them fit,
they hurt like hell.

And then I realized that I...

I'd got them
the wrong way around. They...

I forgot what was left,

and what was right.

- Annika?
- Yeah?

What happened at Polaris V?

What happened?

What happened to Sarah Jackson?
