- Evening, Alfred.
- Good evening, sir.
:08:19
- Evening.
- Evening, sir.
:08:36
Come in.
:08:38
- Hello, sir.
- Well...
:08:39
...hello, Jim.
:08:41
- Here. Sit down.
- Thank you, sir.
:08:44
- Pour you a drink?
- Yes, thank you.
:08:47
I'm a bourbon man myself,
but when in Scotland...
:08:50
Mists of the Scottish moors.
:08:52
Does it for me.
:08:53
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
:08:55
Jim...
:08:57
Just how much do you know
about Ice Station Zebra?
:09:03
Just what's been in the papers.
:09:05
Drift Ice Station Zebra.
:09:07
British civilian weather station
up at the North Pole.
:09:11
- They're in some sort of trouble up there.
- Trouble, yes.
:09:14
They've been sending distress signals,
but too weak and garbled to make sense.
:09:18
There's something that's gone wrong
up there, that's for sure.
:09:22
Some kind of fire or explosion...
:09:26
Several men killed, the rest of them dying
from burns and exposure.
:09:30
- It's pretty rugged.
- Yes, sir.
:09:32
And they can't be reached.
Not by rescue planes.
:09:35
The entire polar cap is completely
socked in with an ice storm.
:09:40
Might not clear up for days, weeks.
:09:44
No chance for the survivors, I suppose.
:09:47
There's a chance. See, you're
going up there to get them out.
:09:51
Those orders will come
through normal channels.
:09:53
- Yes, sir.
- There's more to it. That's why I'm up here.
:09:56
Those men up there
must be pretty important.
:09:59
They're not the reason you're going.
