VICTOR CLOBIRCH: Global climate change upon us, friends.
And many creatures on this planet
are in danger of extinction.
And Clobirch Industries is here to ensure
that they will continue to have the opportunity to survive.
I'm Victor Clobirch, here today forging
an eco-friendly frontier in search of a safer tomorrow.
[music playing]
I'll be back for you guys in three days.
Hope you enjoy.
Hello!
Welcome to the Black Rabbit Lodge.
You're a brave man coming up here with three women.
I've never been able to handle even one.
Well, it takes quite a man.
I bet it does.
Martin Ecos.
Pleased to meet you.
How are you.
Do you have Wi-Fi here?
I'm afraid that's a no, little lady.
You lost that when you left Anchorage,
along with your service, unless that's a satellite phone.
It's freezing.
It's 20 below freezing, actually. [chortles]
Come on, Martin.
Let's get them inside.
All right.
It's warm inside.
Come on.
Straight up the hill, you guys.
- This way? - Yes, sir.
[door opens]
Whoa.
This looks so authentic.
[inaudible]
Yeah.
This is some place you've got.
Thank you.
I'll take that as a compliment.
We call it home.
So, photography is your thing, huh?
Sorry, we don't get much daylight
up here this time of year.
Well, the almanac four hours a day?
That's if you're lucky.
Sunup is at 10 AM.
Sunset's around 2:00 PM, and what you get in between
is mostly dusk.
That's what we call magic hour.
That's what you're going to get... four magic hours.
Great... dark and cold.
I'm G1226, The beta cells are rapidly increasing.
They're 600% larger than they were last week.
Oh, my God.
Dr. Keller, come in.
Dr. Keller, stay out of NP2.
Dr. Keller, are you there?
Come in.
You'd think I'd have this down by now.
Try it again.
[beeps]
[alarm sounds]
[screams]
[growls]
[thuds]
Three days here, almost always dark.
That sounds romantic.
I can't find my light in here.
Delana?
Better go see what he wants.
Delana?
Right here, Brooking.
Did you forget to pack my light meter?
No, it's in your fur hat.
Oh, there it is.
FEMALE VOICE: Dinner!
Oh, hey, dinner.
Let's go. I'm starved.
Doing good, Delana.
Nate landed his fish.
About two months ago.
Yeah, something like that.
Big boy, too.
Lily, you really outdid yourself.
The salmon's fantastic.
We're usually closed by the second week of September.
This is the first time anyone from the lower 48
has been up here during winter.
Especially as pretty as you young ladies.
Ice hole... did your team do that?
Because I want these girls draped in fur,
like they went out into the woods, skinned the animals
and put them on their backs.
Fashion, back to basics.
It would be great if you could throw in an Eskimo too, I mean,
if you can dig one up.
I think you mean to say Athabascan.
The native people prefer going by their tribal names.
Yeah, sure, whatever.
I mean, as long as they look the part.
I mean, like, weathered face, fish on a stick.
You know what I mean, right?
I think I do, Mr. Brooking.
Cool.
Who killed that bear?
That little guy?
I did, nearly 20 years ago.
Were you scared?
No.
He actually had to put down.
Nate found him out back.
He was sick and pretty torn up.
Bears come right up to the lodge?
Yes, they do.
Hungry and ready to eat.
But there's nothing to worry about.
Bears hibernate in winter.
Now, you are a smart young lady.
That's true for most bears.
Not for Maneater.
Maneater?
Maneater's a gigantic beast of a bear
with a taste for human blood.
Frightens me every time I go out into the woods.
Martin.
Come on, stop.
The natives say the Maneater was not born from another bear,
but from a vengeful spirit.
He rose from the blood of countless Alaskan animals that
fell at the hands of white men.
Rose straight out of the ground, standing
20 feet high, with fangs and claws sharper
than any man-made metal.
Let me know when old Maneater shows up.
I'll take a snapshot of him with the girls.
We'll [inaudible].
We'll set a record.
Maneater can't be killed.
An endless amount of blood courses through his veins.
A juggernaut, unable to stop until he
slays the same amount of human blood,
in revenge on the white man.
Maneater is nature's way of fighting back.
Don't mess with Mother Nature then, right?
That's right.
I better to go gas up the generator.
Excuse me.
[door closes]
[growls]
[crashing sounds]
[panting]
[car engine starts]
[growls]
Do you think there's any truth to that bear story?
No.
These backwoods Klondikes are just trying to scare us.
I'm not worried at all about the bear.
It's these guys.
You heard 'em downstairs... "We don't get women
up here as pretty as you."
But they're sweet and harmless.
They cooped up here all winter.
[growls] That's going to a man do crazy things. [snarls]
Are you going to protect me?
I'm not going to protect you.
I'm gonna turn you over!
You know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to find a cave and I'm going to hibernate.
The take-down!
And then he's going to spank her like a bad doggie.
Are you a bad doggie?
[door closes]
Brooking wants us to start at sunrise.
10 AM?
You're a good listener.
What's up with that Nate guy?
Creeper.
That guy can really piss me off.
Gross.
He's all yours.
I don't go native.
That's racist.
Whatever.
Now, who is going to get punished?
I surrender.
[inaudible]
Where was I?
I don't know.
Go look.
You go look.
Babe, you're on top.
No, I'm not.
Well?
I don't see anything.
It's good.
I don't know what it was.
They're weird here.
[rumbling]
[skidding]
Hey, you look dead up there.
Think about how this wolf feels, Brooking.
When people stop buying fur, I'll
stop shooting it, all right?
Now look alive.
That's it.
Turn it around.
There you go.
That's it, babe.
I'm asking you to hold the light right there.
I'm trying.
They keep moving.
You talk to me again like that, I'm going
to feed you to these natives.
Goddamn, get it right there.
Martin?
Got you some fuel for your generator.
Thanks.
You still playing with that thing?
You get it working yet?
Well, I had it working.
Shelly was just in the middle of telling
me how the grandkids were doing and poof, went out on me.
Maybe it is time to get a new one.
A new one?
A satellite phone might be better.
I don't trust the darn things.
Besides, you got to haul them all the way up on the ridge
just to get a signal.
You know, when this world goes to crap,
citizen's band's still going to work and save the day.
You're probably right.
Hear we've got an ice storm coming in.
Yeah, heard it on the news.
I hope it passes quickly.
I don't want those people here any longer than necessary.
That good, huh?
Ugh.
Let's see what we got.
Breaker, breaker.
You've got the one Buffalo looking for Shelly.
Come on back.
[laughs] Catch you later.
All right.
Breaker, breaker, you got the Buffalo looking for Shelly.
Come on back.
[panting]
[machine operating]
Nate!
Come on, man.
I'm shooting over here.
I thought you wanted an ice fishing shot.
Later.
We'll get to that.
Let's finish here first.
It's freezing out here.
Come on, girls.
Modeling is so much harder than people think.
Go, Quinn.
Ella, Ben, deeper.
Little deeper.
Little deeper, OK?
Seriously, Brooking?
Come on, I think it's deep enough.
You know how often I hear that?
I have to pee.
Good luck with that.
No, I'm serious.
Where am I going to go?
Best place to go is out of the wind, over by the tree line.
[twigs crunching]
[screams]
You OK?
Just take me back.
He's still warm.
Can we just get out of here?
OK, here you go... Carrots and potatoes.
Smells good.
Can you taste this?
I feel like it's missing something.
Excellent.
Are you sure, because this group
seems like they're a bit picky.
I'll tell you what.
If this guy doesn't like it.
I'll throw his ass out in the snow
and we can enjoy a civilized meal.
Hey!
Nanuk!
Hey!
Nate!
Come on, man, I'm talking to you.
I'm freezing my balls off over here,
and I'm losing this light.
Come on, man.
We gotta go!
Goddamn ice floes.
There we go.
Sooner we get this done...
What happened to you out there?
I saw a dead animal, and it freaked me out.
Sucks.
I'm not doing this.
Whoa, what are you doing?
Come on, we're still shooting.
Hey, listen to me.
We are still shooting this.
Everyone is cold and miserable, Brooking.
Let's go to a beach somewhere.
This is a stupid idea.
I'm down for that.
Come on, no.
We are on location.
This is not a vacation, OK?
We sit here, mouths shut, eyes open,
and we're going to shoot this, OK,
and we're going to get it done.
Nate!
Look at that.
Instant fishing, ice hole.
Let's go.
Come on.
Grab a pole.
Love you.
Get over here.
Attaboy.
Ella, look alive.
[camera clicks]
Nate!
Come on!
I got beautiful scenery, beautiful girls.
Not beautiful.
Get out of the way.
All right, babe.
Let's try it again.
OK.
BROOKINGS: Babe, you're looking good.
That's it.
Use the hips.
Nobody move.
What now?
[screams]
[growls]
[gunshots]
[man screams]
Hey, they're back already?
Something's not right.
[door opens]
It took Ella under the ice.
What?
What did?
I don't know.
Slow down.
Tell me what happened.
Where's Nate?
I think she is.
Is everything OK?
You're not going back out there are you?
Yes, I am.
The big Eskimo's probably fine.
You need to call us a plane.
We'll talk about this when I get back.
Right now, everyone stay inside.
You're going to leave us here by ourselves?
You're quite a man, aren't you?
Good.
Then act like it, and stay inside with the girls.
[rustling]
Come on up.
Nate?
Nate!
Nate.
Oh no.
[branches crack]
[low growl]
Jesus Christ!
[inaudible]
Hold on.
[woman grunting]
[man grunting]
[wolf howling]
More tea?
You know, this place is one big donut hole.
Your company can count on a big, fat lawsuit
when we're out of here.
I mean, that big Eskimo, he just stood there
and he didn't do anything to save Ella.
I'm sure Nate did everything he could.
Wasn't enough, was it?
[motor sounds getting louder]
It's about time.
MARTIN: I need blankets and hot water bottles.
[grunts]
Who's this?
MARTIN: We've got you.
All right.
Hold on. Hold on.
Who is she?
I don't know.
I just found her half frozen out there.
Where's Nate?
MARTIN: Get her boots off.
Where's Nate?
Lily, something got Nate.
He's gone.
I'm sorry.
BROOKING: Martin.
MARTIN: Yes?
What the hell is out there?
MARTIN: I don't know.
HANNA: Where am I?
Where am... Where am I?
MARTIN: You're in a safe place.
Are you Hanna?
Doctor Hanna Lindval?
Yeah.
MARTIN: Hanna, we're going to get you warm.
You're in a safe place now.
It's going to be all right.
I need heat.
MARTIN: We're going to get you heat.
Thank you, sweetheart.
Let's get her some hot soup, some warm water.
Thank you, Lily.
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
I'm sorry.
Goddamn these people.
Who lives in a place like this?
I'm so sorry about Ella.
Have you ever seen someone die before?
No, nothing like that.
What do you think it was?
I don't know.
You know, all I know is that no one is trying hard enough
to get us out of this place.
I want to go home.
[sobs]
I know.
I know, OK?
You've got to pull it together, OK?
I'm going to go see what the plan is to get us out of here.
No, no.
Please don't go.
Hey.
Whatever was out there under that ice,
it's not coming in here to get you.
I'm here.
Martin!
Jesus man.
Take that thing outside.
Something been raiding my traps.
And it killed my girlfriend and Nate.
What?
What he say true?
Nate's dead?
Yes, it's true
Oh.
MARTIN: What kind of tracks?
I... I don't know.
It's nothing like I've ever seen around these parts.
What's it going to take, man?
More people to die?
You need to call us a plane.
You need to take it easy.
We're going to stay put tonight.
[loud sigh] I need an Ibuprofen.
I'll make a call on the radio.
All right, Buff.
Be careful out there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, uh, she's coming around.
Is she talking yet?
She's a complete mess.
Come on.
[music playing]
[branch breaks]
[loud growl]
[growling and branches breaking]
Oh my god.
[loud growls]
[growling and panting]
[buzzing]
Shelley, this is Buff.
We have an emergency up here.
Come on back.
Shelley, this is Buff.
We have an emergency up here.
Come on back.
[loud growl]
Shelley!
[low growl]
[loud creaking]
[roaring]
[man screaming]
It happened so fast and she was gone.
I'm probably not helping.
I can leave you alone if you want.
No, it's OK.
I'm sorry.
There, uh, I'll just leave those there for you.
Great, thank you.
Brooking?
Hey.
Do you wish it was me instead of Ella?
Be careful with this, will you?
Do you think a bear did this to Nate?
I'm not sure what happened.
I can't believe he's gone.
He was one of the good ones.
Hey, you OK?
No, I'm not OK.
I have a lot of questions that need to be answered.
MARTIN: Tomorrow morning at daybreak
I'm going to head up on the ridge with the satellite phone
and make a call.
A plane will be here and get you out in a couple hours.
What if it gets you, too?
I'll be packing quite an arsenal.
If it comes for me, you can count on seeing
him mounted on my wall.
I thought bears are supposed to hibernate during the winter.
Polar bears don't hibernate.
What about you?
Where did you come from?
MARTIN: Clobirch Industries.
What is that?
A company that sticks its nose where it shouldn't.
Tampering with the environment, trying to regulate the animals.
The native people don't want them here.
But the government allows it.
They're partially right.
I work for Clobirch.
I was sent here with a few of my colleagues
to study polar bears.
Wouldn't you be better suited to do
that up north near Barrow?
We're too far south for polar bears.
Yes, but as you know the ice caps are melting.
Polar bears are migrating south for food.
Go on.
Well, we were some distance from here
and we came across a rogue polar bear.
He was ravenous for food... Starving... and he attacked us.
I took off running, and my colleagues weren't so lucky.
They... they didn't make it.
I... I guess that's when I got lost and you found me.
I've owned this lodge and hunted these woods for over 25
years, and in all that time I have never
come across a single polar bear... not one.
Well, you're certainly going to, especially
with the climate changing.
I'm go to go to sleep until the plane comes for us tomorrow.
Yeah, that's smart.
LILY: Do you think Buff got through on the radio yet?
Oh, holy smokes.
I forgot all about Buffalo with that woman here.
I better go check on him.
You don't think something happened, do you?
The way today is going?
Lily, listen.
Keep an eye on things around here... thank
you... especially that woman.
Something ain't right about her.
Hanna?
Yes, Hanna.
She's a liar.
Be careful.
Buff!
Oh, Jesus.
[growling]
Hey.
Uh, I'm sorry.
I... I... I just came down to get a glass of water.
Oh, uh, no.
I'm sorry.
I'm just, um, a bit jumpy.
Yeah, makes sense.
It's been quite a day.
Um, here.
I'll get you some water.
Great.
Most people don't realize how, um,
quickly you can get dehydration in subzero temperatures.
Is that so?
Yeah.
Thanks.
So, I... I... I was wondering where Martin is.
Haven't seen him around and, um, you know, I never got a chance
to thank him for saving me.
Um, he's probably around here somewhere.
[low growl]
Come on.
Show yourself.
[heavy running and grunting]
[growls]
That animal is stalking us.
Is Buff dead?
Yes.
Fi... first Nate, then Buff.
Are we next?
No.
No, no, Lily.
We're not next.
Tomorrow everyone stays inside.
No one goes outside no matter what.
You keep them in here.
I'm going to lead this thing away from here, OK?
I'm really scared.
I'm... I'm not strong enough for this.
I can't...
Yes, you are.
You are strong enough.
Lily, come on sweetheart.
You are strong enough.
Come on, I'm counting on you.
Now I want you to go get some rest.
You're going to need your energy to keep those people
at ease while I'm gone.
OK?
OK.
Um, what if something happens to you?
Me?
[chuckles] I'm going to be fine.
OK?
Come on.
[music playing]
Hey.
You're up early.
Just looking forward to getting out of here.
10 G's for this.
This outfit doesn't even know the half of it.
You doing a photo shoot up here?
Yeah.
The last image I got was my girlfriend being dragged down
under the ice by that thing.
I'm really sorry for your loss.
I mean that's... that's horrible.
You win some, you lose some.
All right?
What is the allure of being out here all by yourself?
You would never understand.
How far is that ridge?
Um, it's only a couple miles.
So he should probably be there by now making the call, right?
Yeah.
So how did your team get out here?
By plane?
Yeah.
And where did you guys stay?
I was under the impression that this
was the only lodge out here... Nothing else within 100 miles.
Well, there's actually a research
camp for wildlife preservation.
I see.
HANNA (RECORDER): Adding several traits from the wolf DNA
to our subject has seen favorable adaptations that will
increase... project beta has gained
a number of traits that we anticipated
going into the project...
That bitch.
HANNA (RECORDER): [inaudible] DNA has also added expanded...
They're growing these goddamn things.
HANNA (RECORDER): the ability to remember.
Hey.
What're you doing?
I wanted to talk to you alone.
I, um, look, you're a natural leader.
And these people will listen to you.
Yeah.
Well, we're in a lot of danger.
My team studied the polar bear... The one that's been attacking
us... and its strength is far superior to that
of an average polar bear.
You're going to need to follow my instructions.
Lady, Martin hadn't dragged your ass in here,
you'd be out there frozen until spring.
Now you want to call the shots?
Trying to help.
Thanks, but no thanks.
I'm going to handle things my way.
Sure thing.
[growling]
That thing ate him.
Don't say that.
What do you want me to say?
Huh?
He's up on the ridge doing just fine,
got carried away on the call.
He is an experienced hunter and there are a number of things
that could be keeping him.
That's no goddamn polar bear.
Come on.
Come on, you son of a bitch.
[growl]
[animal grunt]
[loud growl]
It's pretty clear... Anybody goes outside,
they're not coming back.
We need to protect ourselves.
We're safe in here.
No, we're not.
LILY: The generator's gonna need more gas soon.
I'll get my coat.
[grunting]
Ugh.
It's monkey piss.
Hey, ladies, let's not overdo it, huh?
I mean, who are you guys?
Wolverines!
HANNA: Sh!
Keep your voice down.
Lighten up.
HANNA: How far away is that generator?
LILY: Let's go.
[gun clicks]
Go get them, soldier.
Be a man, Brooking, for once.
Delana, I don't know if you paid
any attention to what's going on around here, but look around.
I'm the last man standing.
The gas is over this way.
HANNA: Sh.
Just keep it down.
[banging noise]
What was that?
Sh.
Nothing out of you.
Holy shit.
It's here.
They're still out there.
I'm going to teach this bear what it's like to be in prison.
[gasping voices]
BROOKING: That thing... It's out there.
HANNA: I know.
LILY: We saw it.
[loud thud]
[thudding crash]
[thud]
It's OK.
[girl screams]
[screaming]
WOMAN: Help me!
Help!
What's going on?
That thing, it's here.
[gunshot] [screaming]
They need us.
Good luck with that.
[screaming]
Hey.
Where is it?
I don't know.
Where's Hanna?
I don't know!
It's gonna eat you.
Come on, babe.
Let's get out of here.
Jesus, hey.
Get your boots on.
We gotta go.
Gimme this.
Go!
QUINCY: Where?
It's killing her.
Let's see if we can find a way out of here.
Out here.
Come on!
You've got to be kidding me.
Get in here.
Go!
Come on!
Oh, there it is.
[engine sputters]
QUINCY: Come on. Please start.
BROOKING: Come on, baby.
[engine sputtering]
BROOKING: Come on!
Come on.
Come on! Come on!
[engine starts]
QUINCY: Oh! You did it!
BROOKING: Let me get this door.
Let's go!
Ah!
It's slipping.
QUINCY: What's the matter?
BROOKING: It's just spinning.
[horn honks]
QUINCY: Stop it!
That thing is going to hear us.
BROOKING: It's stuck!
[honking continues]
It's stuck.
God damn it!
Make it stop.
[honking stops]
Oh, I think I see it.
I see it.
Sh, sh.
QUINCY: It's gonna come for us.
BROOKING: Don't move.
Quin?
Don't move.
[shushing noises] I don't see it.
QUINCY: I can't see it.
It's gone.
OK.
I'm just going to put this in reverse.
QUINCY: Brooking, please.
Let's just stay here.
I'm going to get us back to the garage, OK?
Don't move.
Here we go.
[engine starts]
Come on!
This is a piece of shit!
Damn it!
It's not going anywhere.
QUINCY: What do we do?
Just don't... I don't see it.
QUINCY: Oh no!
But it's going to come for us.
Hey, it's not.
OK?
You're safe.
[screaming]
Fuck you, bear.
[rustling noises]
[screams] Oh my god!
Oh!
Oh god!
No!
Oh my god!
Oh my...
[grunting and panting]
MARTIN: [screams] Add this to your DNA.
[grunting]
[groaning]
Hanna, Hanna.
Yeah?
Please stop what you're doing.
It's... it's unnatural.
I will.
I know.
HANNA (RECORDING): been compromised at an early stage,
exposing the sample to subject beta.
The bear's strength is increasing at an alarming rate.
I fear the facility may no longer be able to contain him.
Still, we are too far into the process.
Starting over at this point would throw away months of...
[sobbing]
HANNA: Forces of change have long affected our planet's
diverse ecosystems.
Despite recent setbacks, Clobirch industries
is making great strides to adapt wildlife
into our ever-changing world.
Our goal is to preserve the natural order, allowing
life to continue as we know it.
That is why Clobirch will continue to lead
the way to a safe future.
Our company sets the standard in environmental research.
And in doing so, I can assure you
we will solve these eminent problems.
I am proud to be the team leader here at Clobirch.
And we will successfully adapt all animals that need our help.
What are we without our wildlife.
