be right back. i left my camcorder in the car. what are you doing? be careful -- there're two of them. great idea -- pointing a lousy dart gun at some nut with a high-powered hunting rifle. i bet you haven't had lunch. i call it 'the turtle,' as in carrying your home on your back. the little creep hates it that eric actually does what the company hired him to do. it's not even winter! thank god. you can arrest him. eric, leave it alone. it's not your business. did you catch corbett? was there any trouble? going after killers isn't the same as chasing poachers, eric. oh, sweetheart. it's beautiful! i'll wear it for you. and i can wear it when we go home. we won't be here forever. that's not what i meant. look, why get into this again. as long as it's working, let's leave it alone. it's been nice so far. we're together -- do i want to be with you permanently? yes, i think i do. but be with what you do and the way you live? that i don't know. c'mon, eric, until i met you, coming back to alaska was totally i still can't believe i'm being financed by an oil company. especially when they get a look at these pictures. technology in the wilderness; not too pretty. what's that? winter. two straight months of night -- we may never get out of bed. which would suit me fine. not me. i'm equipped. allow me to give you a practical demonstration of low-light infrared photography. high-tech in the wilderness. gets me excited, too. six months. six months this time. i was born in the aleutians. my dad was a navy doctor. had? oh. how did she? that's why i left, moved to washington. when i met eric i was doing day shoots -- products and fashion, mostly. pretty dull. eric was teaching college, and then he got the job with northland oil. we wanted to stay together, so we talked them into funding some wilderness photography. and here i am. i don't want to talk any more. -- don't ever think you can buy eric off, mr. corbett -- outsider. wait a second. maybe you should drive him into devil's cauldron, let them decide what to do with him. that's my line. have you talked to eric? i was hoping you had some news -- -- corbett's a killer. the radio's on the fritz. somewhere along the pipeline. sam? we haven't seen him. why? it's about time. eric! why aren't you in fairbanks? oh, christ, sweetheart. four days! i thought you were dead, or worse. what's going on? where's corbett? so what's the problem? let the people here handle it. it's their marshal corbett killed! i'm staying. you're hurt. he's right about the snow. we're blind. technology in the wilderness. only problem is talking to you on your way to the landing strip. my home is here. with you. they're moving toward you! they're fanning out. one is moving back toward the cabins. don't make me shoot. we're going to sam's cabin. you can stay in the jail until this is over. you can't leave yet. leave the engines idling. go back and open the side door.
