Global climate change is 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.
Thanks, man.
I'll be back for you guys in three days.
Hope you enjoy.
- Hello! - Hey.
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'll bet it does.
Martin Nakos. Pleased to meet you.
- How are ya? - 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.
- Come on, Martin. Let's get them inside. - All right.
- It's warm inside. Come on. - Great.
- Straight up the hill, you guys. - This way?
Yes, sir.
Whoa.
- This looks so authentic. - Right?
- It's like a movie set, right? - 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 says, uh, four hours a day?
Well, that's if you're lucky. Sunup is at 10:00 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 gonna get.
- Four magic hours. - Great. Dark and cold.
Entry 12-26. The beta's 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 NP-2.
Dr. Keller, are you there? Come in.
You'd think I'd have this down by now.
Try it again.
Oh!
Three days here, almost always dark?
That sounds romantic.
I can't find my light meter.
Delana! 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. - Dinner!
Oh. Hey. Dinner. Let's go. I'm starved.
Doin' good, Delana.
Nate landed this fish 'bout two months ago?
- Yeah, something like that. - Big boy too.
Lily, you really outdid yourself. This 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. Your team do that?
'Cause I want these girls draped in fur. You know?
Like they went out into the woods, skinned the animals and put 'em on their backs.
Fashion, back to the basics.
It would be great if you can 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.
You know what I mean? Like, a weathered face, fish on a stick.
You know what I mean, right?
- I think I do, Mr. Brooking. - Cool.
So who killed that bear?
That little guy? I did, nearly 20 years ago.
Were you scared?
Nah. He actually had to be 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 the winter.
Now, you are a smart young lady. And that's true, for most bears.
Not for man-eater.
Man-eater?
Man-eater is 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 that man-eater 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.
Okay. Let me know when old man-eater shows up, okay?
I'll take a snapshot of him with the girls. We'll call Guinness. We'll set a record.
Man-eater 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.
Man-eater is nature's way of fighting back.
Uh, don't mess with mother nature then. Right?
That's right.
I better go gas up the generator. Excuse me.
Do you think there's any truth to that bear story?
Nah. These backwoods Klondikes are just trying to scare us.
I'm not worried at all about the bear. It's these guys.
- You sure? - You heard 'em downstairs.
We don't get women up here as pretty as you.
But they're sweet and harmless.
They're cooped up up here all winter.
Don't be mean.
That's gonna make a man do crazy things.
- Are you gonna protect me? - I'm not gonna protect you!
And I'm gonna turn you over!
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna find a cave, and I'm gonna hibernate.
He's gonna take her down!
And then he's gonna spank her like a bad doggy.
Are you a bad doggy?
- Brooking wants us to start at sunrise. - So 10:00 am?
You're a good listener.
What's up with that Nate guy? Creeper.
That guy could really twist me out.
Gross. He's all yours. I don't go native.
- That's racist. - Whatever.
Now, who is gonna get punished?
I surrender.
You're gonna suffer it.
- What was that? - I don't know. Go look.
- You go look! - Babe, you're on top.
Oh, no, I'm not.
Well?
I don't know. I don't see anything.
It's good.
- Shit's good. - Sure?
- Yeah. I don't know what it was. - I feel weird here.
No, come on.
- Hey! You look dead out there. - Think about how this wolf feels, Brooking.
Well, when people stop buying fur, I'll stop shootin' it, all right?
Now, look alive.
That's it. Turn it around.
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. - Light, girl.
You talk to me again like that, I'm gonna feed you to these natives.
Goddamn. Get it right there.
Hey, Buff!
Martin.
- Got you some fuel for your Genny. - Thanks.
You still playing with that thing? You get it working yet?
I had it workin'. Shelly was just in the middle of telling me...
...how the grandkids are doing, and poof, went out on me.
- Eh, 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 gotta haul 'em all the way up on the ridge just to get a signal.
When this world goes to crap, citizens band is still gonna work and save the day.
Ah, you're probably right.
- Hear we got an ice storm comin' in. - Yeah, I heard it on the news.
I hope it passes quickly. I don't want those people here any longer than necessary.
That good, huh?
Eh, let's see what we got.
Breaker, breaker. You got the one Buffalo lookin' for Shelly.
Come on back.
- Catch you later. - All right.
Breaker, breaker. You got the Buffalo lookin' for Shelly. Come on back.
Hey! Come on, man! I'm shootin' 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. Go, Quin. Ella, babe, deeper!
Little deeper. Little deeper, okay?
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 gonna go?
Um, I...
Best place to go is out of the wind, over by the tree line.
- You okay? - Yeah. Just take me back.
He's still warm.
Can we just get out of here? Please.
Okay, 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! Nanook! 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 holes. There we go.
Sooner we go and get this done, we're gonna get in some lunch...
What happened to you out there? Hmm?
Nothing.
I just saw a dead animal and it freaked me out.
This sucks. I'm not doing this.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?
- Come on. We're still shooting. - No.
Hey, listen to me. We are still shooting this.
Everybody's cold and miserable, Brooking.
Let's go to a beach somewhere. This was a stupid idea.
I'm down for that.
Come on. No. We are on location. This is not a vacation, okay?
We sit here, mouths shut, eyes open, and we are gonna shoot this, okay?
And we're gonna get it done. Hey, uh, Nate!
Look at that. Instant fishing. Ice hole. Let's go. Come on.
Grab a pole. Babe, I love you.
Give me my camera. Get over here.
Attaboy. Ella, look alive!
Nate! Come on!
I got beautiful scenery, beautiful girls.
Not beautiful.
Get out of the way!
God!
That's it.
All right, babe, we're gonna try it again.
Okay.
Oh. Hey, babe, you're lookin' good.
That's it.
That's it. Use the hips!
Lookin' alive.
Nobody move!
Oh, Christ, man. What now?
Ella!
Quin!
Hey, they're back already?
Something's not right.
- It took Ella under the ice! - What? What did?
I don't know.
Slow down. Tell me, what happened?
- Where's Nate? - He's still out there. Ella's dead.
- I think she is. - Hey, uh, is everything okay?
- You're not going back out there, are you? - Yes, I am.
The big Eskimo is 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 gonna leave us here by ourselves?
- You're quite a man, aren't you? - Yeah.
Good. Then act like it, and stay inside with the girls.
Come on up.
Nate!
Nate.
Oh, no.
Jesus Christ!
More tea?
You know, this place is one big doughnut hole.
Your company can count on a big, fat lawsuit when we're out of here.
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?
It's about time.
I need blankets and hot-water bottles.
Who's this?
We've got ya.
- All right, hold on. Hold on. - Who is she?
I don't know. I just found her half-frozen out there.
Where's Nate?
- Get her boots off. - Where's Nate?
Lily, something got Nate.
He's gone.
I'm sorry.
- Martin. - Yes?
- What the hell is out there? - I don't know.
You're in a safe place.
Are you Hanna?
Dr. Hanna Lindval?
Hanna, we're gonna get you warm. You're in a safe place now.
- It's gonna be all right. - I need heat.
We're gonna 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.
All I know is that no one is trying hard enough to get us out of this place.
I wanna go home.
I know. I know. Okay?
Hey, you gotta pull it together, okay?
I'm gonna go see what the plan is to get us out of here.
No, don't. 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 raidin' my traps. - And it killed my girlfriend.
- And Nate. - What?
What he say true? Nate's dead?
Yes, it's true.
Oh.
What kind of tracks?
I don't know. It's nothing like I've ever seen around these parts.
What's it gonna take, man? More people to die?
- You need to call us a plane. - You need to take it easy.
We're gonna stay put tonight.
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.
- She talking yet? - She's a complete mess.
Come on.
Oh, my God!
Shelly, this is Buff. We have an emergency up here. Come on back.
Shelly!
It happened so fast.
And she was gone.
I'm probably not helping.
I can leave you alone if you want.
No, it's okay.
I'm sorry.
There. Uh, I'll just leave those there for you.
Okay, 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.
Can't believe he's gone.
He was one of the good ones.
Hey, you okay?
No, I'm not okay.
I have a lot of questions that need to be answered.
Tomorrow morning at daybreak, I'm gonna head up on the ridge...
...with a satellite phone and make a call.
Plane'll 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 were supposed to hibernate during the winter.
Polar bears don't hibernate.
What about you? Where did you come from?
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 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 gonna go to sleep until the plane comes for us tomorrow.
Yeah, that's smart.
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? - With the way today's 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.
Hey. I'm sorry.
I... I just came down to get a glass of water.
Oh, no, I'm sorry. I'm just, um, a bit jumpy.
Yeah, it makes sense. It's been quite a day.
- Uh, 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.
Yeah. Thanks.
So I was wondering where Martin is. I haven't seen him around, and, um...
...you know, I never got a chance to thank him for saving me.
Uh, he's probably around here somewhere.
Come on.
Show yourself.
That animal...
...is stalking us.
Is... Buff dead?
Yes.
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 'em in here.
I'm gonna lead this thing away from here. Okay?
I'm really scared. I'm... I'm not strong enough for this.
- I can't stand this. - 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 gonna need your energy to keep those people at ease while I'm gone.
Okay?
Okay. Um...
...what if something happens to you?
Me?
I'm gonna be fine.
Okay?
Come on.
- Hey. - Hey.
You're up early.
Just looking forward to getting out of here.
Ten Gs for this.
This outfit doesn't even know the half of it.
You're 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. Right?
What is the allure of being out here all by yourself?
You would never understand.
How far is that ridge?
Uh, 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 a hundred miles.
Well, there's actually a research camp...
...for wildlife preservation.
I see.
Adding several traits from the wolf DNA to our subject...
...has seen favorable adaptations that will increase...
Subject beta has gained a number of traits that we anticipated going into the project.
- That bitch. - DNA has also added expanded...
- They're growing these goddamn things. - And the ability to remember.
Hey.
What are 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 gonna need to follow my instructions.
Lady, if Martin hadn't dragged your ass in here...
...you'd be out there frozen till spring.
Now you wanna call the shots?
- Trying to help. - Thanks, but no thanks.
- I'm gonna handle things my way. - Sure thing.
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.
It was pretty clear. Anybody goes outside...
...they're not coming back.
We need to protect ourselves.
We're safe in here.
No, we're not.
The generator's gonna need more gas soon.
I'll get my coat.
Ugh. It's monkey piss.
Hey, ladies, let's not overdo it, huh?
And who are you guys? Wolverines!
Shh. Keep your voice down.
Lighten up.
How far away is that generator?
Let's go.
Go get 'em, soldiers!
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.
Shh. Just keep it down.
What was that?
Shh. Nothing out of you.
Holy shit.
It's here. It's here.
They're still out there.
I'm gonna teach this bear what it's like to be in prison.
- That thing, it's out there. - Yeah, I know.
We saw it.
It's okay.
Help! We need help! Come on!
- What's going on? - That thing, it's here.
- They need us. - Good luck with that.
Get this off of her!
It's coming.
- 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.
Hey, get your boots on. We gotta go.
Give me this.
- Come on. Come on. Go. Go. - Where?
It's killing her.
Let's see if we can find a way out of here.
Out here. Come on.
You gotta be kidding me. Get in.
Go. Come on.
Oh, there.
- Come on. Please start. Please start it. - Come on, baby.
Come on!
Come on, come on, come on!
Oh, you did it.
Let me get this door.
Let's go!
Ah, it's slippery!
What's the matter?
She's spinning.
Stop that. That thing is gonna hear us.
It's stuck.
- It's stuck. Goddamn it! - Make it stop.
I think I see it.
- I see it. - Oh, my God.
It's gonna come for us.
Don't move. Quin?
Don't move.
- I don't see it. - I can't see it. It's gone.
Okay.
I'm just gonna put this...
- ...in reverse. - Brooking, please, let's just stay here.
I'm gonna get us back to the garage. Okay, don't move. Ready? Here we go.
Come on!
This piece of shit!
Damn it!
It's not going anywhere.
What do we do?
Just don't move.
- I don't see it. - Oh, no, but it's gonna come for us.
Hey, it's not, okay? You're safe.
He's coming in!
Oh...
Fuck you, bear.
Oh, my God!
Okay.
Oh, my God!
No!
Oh, my God. Oh, my...
Oh, God.
Add this to your DNA!
Hanna. Hanna.
- Yeah. - Please.
Stop what you're doing.
It's... it's unnatural.
I will. I know.
Been compromised at an early stage, exposing the sample to subject beta.
The bear's strength is increasing at an alarming rate.
I fear this 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...
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 imminent 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?
