[TRUCK HORN BLASTS]

NARRATOR:
IT'S CALLED THE DASH
FOR THE CASH.

[TRUCK ZOOMS]

EACH YEAR,
TRUCKING COMPANIES LOCK HORNS

IN A BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY
ON THE WINTER ROADS...

[TRUCK HORN BLASTS]

AS THEY FIGHT FOR A PIECE
OF THE MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR
INDUSTRY

HAULING CARGO OVER THE MOST
DANGEROUS TRAILS IN THE WORLD.

[TRUCK HORN BLASTS]

AND THE LAST TWO SEASONS,
[HORN BEEPS]

NO COMPANY STOOD TALLER
THAN POLAR INDUSTRIES.

MARK: I'M STARTING THE SEASON ON TOP, AND I INTEND TO REMAIN ON TOP.

WE WANT TO BASICALLY
BE THE POWERHOUSE,

WE WANT TO BE THE GO-TO PEOPLE.

WE WANT PEOPLE TO ASSOCIATE
ICE ROADS

WITH POLAR INDUSTRIES.

I'VE DOMINATED THIS AREA,
I'VE BEATEN MY RIVALS,

I'M READY TO ROCK AND ROLL.

NARRATOR:
TO STAY AHEAD OF THE PACK,

POLAR IS HITTIN' THE ROAD
BEFORE ANYONE ELSE,

AND 450 MILES TO THE NORTH,

MARK'S GOT A TRUCKING LEGEND
LEADING THE TEAM.

ALEX:
HARD TO TELL WHERE IT STARTS
HERE.

PRETTY SPOOKY.

AT HAYES RIVER,
OVER 80 FEET DEEP.

♪♪♪♪♪

ALEX:
IF YOU GO THROUGH THE ICE,

THE FIRST THING YOU DO
IS JUST RELAX.

GIVE YOURSELF A FEW SECONDS
TO ACCLIMATIZE,

SO YOU DON'T START GASPING

AND BREATHING IN
ALL THIS WATER.

THAT WATER'S GONNA BE
JUST- JUST ABOVE FREEZING,

SO YOU JUST SORT OF CALM
YOURSELF A LITTLE BIT

AND TAKE A LOOK AROUND.

DON'T START THRASHING
AND HAVING A FIT

BECAUSE THAT'S- YOU KNOW,
THE PANIC'S GONNA KILL YOU.

NOW THIS-THIS RIVER HERE
IS DEEP ENOUGH

THAT IF I GO THROUGH,
IT'LL SWALLOW THE WHOLE TRUCK,

AND I GUESS IF I'M IN THE
TRUCK, I'LL END UP WITH IT.

IF I STAND HERE LONG ENOUGH,
SPRING WILL COME.

I'LL GET HUNGRY
IF I WAIT THAT LONG,

I BETTER GET GOING.

NARRATOR:
ICE ROAD TRUCKERS HAVE BEEN
BRAVING CROSSINGS LIKE THIS
SINCE THE 1950s,

AND EVERY YEAR, ONE DRIVER MUST BE THE FIRST TO TEST THE ICE.

[TRUCK ENGINE RUMBLES]

NARRATOR:
THIS TIME IT'S FALLING ON
THE VETERAN'S SHOULDERS.

ALEX:
I'M ON THE ICE, JUST SORT
OF CRAWL ACRO- CREEP ACROSS.

HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING- HOPEFULLY
EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.

[TRUCK ENGINE RUMBLES]

[LOW RUMBLING,
ICE CRACKING]

ALEX:
I WOULD SAY THAT PROBABLY-

THERE'S PROBABLY
A VERY GOOD CHANCE

THERE'S BEEN A LIFE LOST
ON THIS CROSSING,

AND I'M THE FIRST GUY OUT HERE
THIS MORNING.

[ENGINE RUMBLES]

NARRATOR:
THIS EARLY IN THE SEASON,

THE FRAGILE ICE
HAS JUST FORMED,

AND AS A BIG RIG MOVES ACROSS,

IT BENDS UNDER
THE HEAVY WEIGHT,

CREATING A PRESSURE WAVE
THAT COULD GROW STRONG ENOUGH

TO BURST THROUGH THE ICE.

[ICE CRACKING,
WATER SPLASHING]

[TRUCK ENGINE RUMBLES]

ALEX:
HOLY MACKEREL!
LOOK AT THAT!

GIVES ME THE SHIVERS
EVEN LOOKING AT THAT.

[ENGINE RUMBLES,

NARRATOR:
AS ALEX CRAWLS AHEAD,

THE ICE IS ALREADY SHOWING
STRESS

FROM THE WEIGHT
OF THE 18 TONNE LOAD.

I CAN HEAR THE ICE CRACKING.

NARRATOR:
BUT WITH THE CAMP SHACK
URGENTLY NEEDED

FOR A HOSPITAL IN DISTANT
SHAMATTAWA,

THE OLD PRO WILL HAVE TO USE

ANOTHER ICE CROSSING DONE,

DOWN THE ROAD WE GO.

THAT'S ONE ICE CROSSING DOWN.
I DON'T KNOW,

THERE'S GONNA BE QUITE
A FEW MORE FOR THE SEASON.

I'LL TAKE 'EM ONE AT A TIME.

NARRATOR:
WHILE ALEX PUSHES ON,

200 MILES TO THE SOUTHWEST...

TODD:
I JUST TURNED ON
TO THE ICE ROAD.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NICE
AND COLD OUT,

THE COLD, COLD, COLD WEATHER
HAS DEFINITELY SET IN.

NARRATOR:
MARK'S GOT HIS TOP DOG
ON A HIGH STAKES MISSION.

TODD:
TRYING TO GET THIS
EMERGENCY LOAD

IN BY THE END OF THE DAY.

MARK ASKED IF I COULD
PLEASE GET IT UP HERE

AS FAST AS I POSSIBLY CAN.

WHEN SOMETHING NEEDS
TO GET DONE,

IT NEEDS TO GET DONE RIGHT,

AND HE PUTS ALL THE WEIGHT
ON MY SHOULDERS
TO GET THE JOB DONE.

NARRATOR:
SINCE JOINING POLAR
LAST SEASON...

TODD:
WHOA. I'VE GOTTA GET OUT.
I CAN'T STOP ON THE ICE.

NARRATOR:
NO JOB'S BEEN TOO TOUGH...

TODD: HOLD IT TO THE FLOOR!
LISA: I AM!

NARRATOR:
OR TOO BIG...

LISA: GOT 'ER!
TODD: [BLEEP]! THAT'S WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT!

NARRATOR:
FOR TODD DEWEY.

TODD: HA HA! WOOO!
LISA: HOLY COW!

NARRATOR:
AND THIS SEASON,

MARK'S COUNTING ON TODD
TO KEEP POLAR NUMBER ONE.

TODD:
MARK WANTED SOMEBODY
WITH THE EXPERIENCE

TO DELIVER THE LOAD, SO...

YOU KNOW,
I'M TRYING TO PUSH HARD,

BUT AT THE SAME TIME,

I HAVE TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS
ON THE LOAD ITSELF -

THAT NOTHING GETS BROKE
INSIDE THE TRAILER -

AND THAT IT GETS DELIVERED.

NARRATOR: TODAY TODD'S TRYING TO BRING IN A TOP-DOLLAR HAUL.

[ENGINE RUMBLES]

NARRATOR:
20 TONNES OF EMERGENCY
HEATING SUPPLIES

FOR THE VILLAGE OF WASAGAMACK.

TODD:
OH MAN! I DON'T WANNA
GO OFF THE ROAD.

I HAVE A FEELING IF I KEEP
HOLDING THIS SAME PACE
RIGHT HERE

THAT I'LL GET THERE...

I'LL GET THERE TONIGHT SAFE,
IN ONE PIECE,

AND BE ABLE TO GET
THIS LOAD OFF.

NARRATOR:
AS THE SUN BEATS DOWN
ON THE ICY TRAIL...

TODD:
IT'S SLIPPERY OUT!

HEY. HOLY SCHEISTER!

NARRATOR:
THE PATH BECOMES SLICK,

AND KEEPING HIS TRAILER
ON THE ROAD

GETS HARDER BY THE MINUTE.

SHE'S SPINNIN' AND SLIDIN'.
HANG ON!

[ENGINE RUMBLES]

WHOA!

[TRUCK GRATES AGAINST SNOW]

THAT'S SL-ICK.

THAT GOT MY [BLEEP]
HEART POUNDIN'.

[WHISTLES]

WELL, I WANTED ADVENTURE.
I GOT ONE TODAY, DON'T I?

COME ON, GIRL!

[TIRES SPINNING]

I'M STUCK.
FRICKIN' FIGURES!

[DOOR SLAMS]

[BLEEP]!

I CAN'T BACK UP,
I CAN'T GO FORWARD,

AND I GOT NO TRACTION.

[ENGINE IDLES]

I GOTTA THINK ABOUT THIS
FOR A MINUTE.

NARRATOR:
HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HELP,

AND IN THE FACE OF FALLING
TEMPERATURES,

TODD COULD BE STRANDED FOR DAYS

IF HE CAN'T GET BACK
ON THE ROAD.

THE ONLY THING
I CAN THINK OF IS,

I GOT A DRIVER TIRE HERE,

I GOT A LITTLE BIT OF TREES
OUT HERE.

IF I COULD FIND
A STRONG ENOUGH TREE,

I MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE TO USE
THIS TIRE FOR A WENCH,

LOOP IT AROUND A TREE,
HOOK TO THE BACK OF MY TRAILER,

AND MAYBE,
IF I'M LUCKY ENOUGH,

PULL THE [BLEEP] TRAILER OUT
JUST ENOUGH

TO WHERE I CAN GET TRACTION
TO GET BACK GOING AGAIN.

I DON'T KNOW
IF IT'S GONNA WORK OR NOT,

I DON'T KNOW IF THE STRAPS
ARE STRONG ENOUGH,

BUT I REALLY DON'T HAVE
A CHOICE.

I GOT- I GOT NO OTHER OPTIONS
AT HAND HERE.

NARRATOR:
TODD'S PLAN?

USE A WHEEL AND STRAP
AS A WINCH DEVICE,

WRAPPING THE STRAP AROUND
A TREE

TO TRY AND FREE THE TRAILER
AND 20 TONNE LOAD

FROM THE CLENCHES
OF THE SNOWBANK.

TODD:
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY STRAPS
IT'S GONNA TAKE,

BUT IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT.

I JUST HOPE THE SON OF A
[BLEEP] ARE STRONG ENOUGH

TO ACT LIKE A WINCH.

[BLEEP]!

NOT A GOOD DAY FOR ME.

OH! I GOT NO MORE PATIENCE.
MY PATIENCE ARE GONE.

ALL I COULD TRY TO DO IS
TRY TO START WINCHING THIS IN

AND SEE IF IT'S EVEN
GONNA WORK.

ALL RIGHT.
THERE WE GO.

HERE WE GO.

[ENGINE RUMBLES]

[TIRES SPINNING]

I NEED IT TO START [BLEEP]
WINDING UP HERE.

[ENGINE REVS]

[ENGINE RUMBLES,
DRAGGING SOUND]

HA HA!

PULLED MY TRUCK OUT!

NICE! I GOT OUT.

THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE.

THAT IS UN[BLEEP] BELIEVABLE,
BUDDY!

I GOT MYSELF OUT ON MY OWN.

IT'S CALLED USING YOUR HEAD.

IT'S CALLED DOING WHAT IT TAKES
UP HERE ON THESE ROADS.

WHEN YOU GET YOURSELF
INTO A SITUATION

YOU'VE GOTTA GET OUT OF,
FIGURE IT OUT.

YOU DON'T SIT AND WAIT
FOR SOMEBODY TO SHOW UP.

THAT COULD COST YOU YOUR LIFE
AT ANY POINT IN TIME UP HERE.

I'M OUTTA THE DITCH.

[ENGINE RUMBLES]

THAT'S IT!
I'M DRIVING OUT OF HERE.

NARRATOR:
POLAR'S OFF TO A HOT START.

BUT BACK IN WINNIPEG,

A FAMILIAR FACE IS LOOKING TO TAKE ON THE DEFENDING CHAMP.

DARRELL:
THIS IS WHAT MY LIFE
HAS ALL BEEN ABOUT.

AND I'M GONNA PROVE THAT
I'M ONE OF THE BIG PLAYERS

ON THE WINTER ROADS.

NARRATOR:
AND THE BALANCE OF POWER
ON THE WINTER ROADS

COULD BE UP FOR GRABS.

DARRELL:
LAST YEAR I WAS STILL WORKING
FOR POLAR,

WORKING FOR MARK.

BROKE DOWN TRUCKS,
I WASN'T GETTING LOADS,

I COULDN'T MAKE ANY MONEY,
SO I MOVED ON.

I WANNA SUCCEED HERE,
I WANNA START A BUSINESS,

AND I'M GONNA MAKE IT WORK.

AND I'LL GO HEAD TO HEAD
WITH MARK.

MARK'S GOT THE BIG COMPANY,
I'VE GOT THE LITTLE COMPANY,

BUT EVERY EMPIRE WILL FALL.

YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS,
IT'S DAVID AGAINST GOLIATH,
YOU KNOW?

I'M DAVID.
WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.

NARRATOR:
THE GAUNTLET'S BEEN THROWN.

DARRELL:
HELLO. I'M LOOKING FOR SOME
LOADS TO HAUL RIGHT NOW.

NARRATOR:
NOW DARRELL'S GOTTA BACK UP
THE BIG TALK.

GROCERIES,
BUILDING MATERIALS,

UH, ANYTHING YOU MIGHT HAVE.

IF I'M GONNA BE HERE
AND I'M GONNA MAKE ANY MONEY,

I'VE GOTTA GET MY LOADS.

WATCH OUT, MARK,
IT'S GAME DAY.

GAME ON.

YOU HAVE TWO EMERGENCY LOADS
GOING TO GARDEN HILL?

YEAH, I CAN DO IT.

I CAN DO IT,
I CAN MOVE 'EM.

I'LL GET 'EM,
I'LL GET IT TAKEN CARE OF.

OKAY. YEAH, BYE.
[BLEEP]

YOU KNOW THIS IS,
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED.

THIS IS EXACTLY
WHAT MY COMPANY NEEDED.

THIS WILL EITHER MAKE ME
OR BREAK ME.

BUT I'VE GOTTA HAVE SOME HELP.

I KNOW JUST THE PERSON...
LISA KELLY.

NARRATOR:
LISA KELLY'S EARNED
A REPUTATION

AS ONE OF THE MOST FEARLESS...

LISA:
I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO TAKE
A COUPLE BREATHS HERE.

AND RESPECTED TRUCKERS
ON THE WINTER ROADS.

LISA:
HE'S OUT.
HE'S OUT! HE'S OUT!

MAN: WAY TO GO!
LISA: WOO!

NARRATOR:
LAST YEAR...

LISA:
GOT OUR FIRST THREE LOADS
DELIVERED FOR TEAM POLAR.

NARRATOR:
SHE PLAYED A PIVOTAL ROLE
KEEPING POLAR ON TOP.

LISA:
IT'S REALLY COOL
THAT WE GET TO DO THIS.

DARRELL:
YOU KNOW, I'M GLAD
YOU CAME ALONG WITH ME.

BUT ON THE FINAL RUN,
SHE CROSSED ENEMY LINES

AND HELPED DARRELL REACH
THE END

OF THE LONGEST WINTER ROAD
IN THE WORLD.

GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS.

YOU GOT A 10-4 THERE,
BIG BUDDY.

NARRATOR: AND ULTIMATELY ENDED THE SEASON AS A FREE AGENT.

MARK:
AM I GONNA HAVE YOU BACK HERE
AT POLAR,

OR ARE YOU GONNA BE WORKING
FOR DARRELL WARD NEXT YEAR?

LISA:
IN ALL HONESTY,
I DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN I REALLY GOTTA THINK
ABOUT IT.

NARRATOR:
NOW IF DARRELL CAN SNAG HER,

SHE COULD BE THE KEY
TO A WINNING SEASON.

DARRELL:
LISA'S PROVEN HERSELF TO ME
MANY A TIMES.

SHE'S ONE OF THE BEST DRIVERS
I KNOW,

AND IF I CAN PULL LISA AWAY
FROM MARK,

THAT'S GONNA HURT MARK,
THAT'S GONNA HELP ME.

I WANNA GO BIG ON THE ROADS.
LISA: OKAY.

YOU KNOW, I WANNA BE ONE
OF THE BIGGER PLAYERS,

AND I KNOW THAT THE ONLY WAY
I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN

IS TO HAVE THE RIGHT PLAYERS.

AND I NEED YOUR HELP.

LISA:
WELL, WHAT'S THE DEAL?

I FEEL LIKE THAT I'VE WORKED
FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE

AND I FEEL LIKE THAT I'VE BEEN
KINDA DOWN ON THE BOTTOM
THE WHOLE TIME,

AND IT'D BE KIND OF FUN
TO MOVE UP

AND KINDA GET MORE PIECE
OF THE ACTION OR SOMETHING.

DARRELL:
ALL RIGHT, WELL...

I GUESS I CAN MAKE YOU
AN OFFER.

YOU KNOW,
I'LL GIVE YOU A PERCENTAGE.

LISA ASKING FOR A PIECE
OF THE COMPANY,

IF I WAS IN HER SHOES,
I'D DO EXACTLY THE SAME THING.

VERY SMART DECISION
ON HER PART.

MAYBE YOU'LL AGREE ON THIS.

DONE DEAL.

DARRELL: ALL RIGHT. PERFECT.
LISA: I'LL DO IT FOR THAT.

DARRELL: PARTNERS.
LISA: NICE.

WE CAME TO AN AGREEMENT,
MADE IT WORTH IT.

I THINK WE WORK WELL TOGETHER,
SO...

IT'S GOOD THAT WE'RE PARTNERS.

TEAM LISA AND DARRELL.

LISA: DARRELL AND LISA.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]

DARRELL:
YOU KNOW HERE IT IS,

DARRELL WARD, LISA KELLY,
AGAINST POLAR.

DARRELL: LET'S DO THIS.
LISA: SOUNDS GOOD.
[LOUD CLAP]

[DOORS RUMBLE OPEN]

[ENGINES RUMBLE]

[LOUD CLUNKS]

DARRELL:
GET HOOKED UP HERE,

AND LISA'S OVER PICKING UP
HER LOAD.

WE'RE OUTTA HERE.

OUR FIRST RUN TO GARDEN HILL,
FIRST RUN FOR OUR NEW COMPANY.

LISA:
THIS IS MY FIRST LOAD
OF THE SEASON,

GOING TO GARDEN HILL.

IT'S A BUNCH
OF BUILDING SUPPLIES.

DOING IT IN MY NEW COMPANY,
IN MY NEW TRUCK.

DARRELL:
WE'VE LEASED THESE TRUCKS,
WE'VE LEASED THIS SHOP.

WE'RE TAKING A HUGE GAMBLE.

IF THIS DOESN'T WORK,
I'M OUT.

I'VE HAD EVERYTHING
I'VE EVER WORKED FOR.

BUT I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING
IN MY POWER,

AND SO IS LISA,

TO MAKE THIS COMPANY
SUCCESSFUL.

YOU READY TO DO THIS, LISA?

I'M READY!
LET'S DO THIS!

DARRELL:
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

NARRATOR:
DARRELL AND LISA'S
FIRST MISSION IS A BRUTAL ONE,

HAULING TIME SENSITIVE LOADS
OF BUILDING SUPPLIES

FOR A NEW SCHOOL
IN GARDEN HILL,

ALMOST 300 MILES AWAY.

IT'S A JOB NO ONE ELSE
WOULD TAKE ON,

AS THE NEWLY OPENED TRAIL
IS NOTORIOUSLY

ONE OF THE ROUGHEST
IN MANITOBA.

BUT, FOR THE FLEDGLING
BUSINESS,

THEY'VE GOTTA TAKE
WHAT YOU CAN GET.

LISA:
WELL, IF WE GET A GOOD START,

IT'LL BE A GOOD START
TO A BRAND NEW COMPANY,

BRAND NEW LOAD,
BRAND NEW LOT. EVERYTHING.

DARRELL:
10-4.

[ENGINE RUMBLES]

[WARNING BEEPS]

NARRATOR:
BUT, ONLY 50 MILES OUTSIDE
OF WINNIPEG...

DARRELL, MY TRUCK'S SHOUTING
AT ME TO TURN IT OFF.

DARRELL:
DON'T SMELL ANY OIL BURNIN'
OR NOTHING LIKE BLOWING
ON THE MOTOR SOMEWHERE, DO YA?

NO, BUT MY TRUCK
JUST SHUT DOWN.

I GOT NO MORE POWER,
SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO FIND
A SHOULDER HERE.

DARRELL:
COPY.

YEAH, I'M GONNA PULL OVER HERE,
I'LL FLOOR DOWN QUICK.

WELL, THIS AIN'T A VERY GOOD
WAY TO START OUT OUR NEW
BUSINESS.

[HISSING]

SMOKIN' A LITTLE BIT
WHEN I PULL IT OUTTA THERE.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING DRIPPIN'.

I MEAN ALL I SEE IS
A LITTLE BIT OF OIL UP HERE,

BUT IT'S PLENTY ON THE STICK.

[DOOR SLAMS]

DARRELL, I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

I HAVE POPPED THE HOOD
AND I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.

LOOKS LIKE I MIGHT HAVE
TO GO BACK TO THE WINTER-PEG.

URGH!

DARRELL:
NO NEED SITTING
ON THE SHOULDER,

IT AIN'T DOING ME NO GOOD.

NARRATOR:
WITH 50 PERCENT OF THEIR FLEET
SHUT DOWN,

THE NEW COMPANY COULD LOSE
A FORTUNE

IF THEY FAIL TO MAKE GOOD
ON THE CONTRACT.

DARRELL:
WELL, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET
THAT TRUCK TURNED AROUND

AND GET HEADED BACK TO WINNIPEG
AND GET IT IN THE SHOP,

AND GET IT FIGURED OUT
WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT.

I GOTTA GET MY LOAD THERE

REGARDLESS OF WHAT LISA
NEEDS TO DO.

I THINK I'M GONNA BE HEADED ON
TO GARDEN HILL BY MYSELF.

FIRST LOAD,
PROBLEMS ALREADY.

[TRUCK RUMBLES]

NARRATOR:
AT POLAR INDUSTRIES...

MARK:
DID WE GET ALL EIGHT
OF THOSE LOADS MOVED OUT?

NARRATOR:
NEWS OF LISA'S DEFECTION
HAS REACHED MARK,

AND IT'S HITTIN' THE BOSS HARD.

WHO'S-WHO'S GONNA BE GOING
TO SHAMATTAWA?

WE NEED LIKE THREE GUYS
FOR SHAMATTAWA.

MARK:
DARRELL STOLE LISA FROM ME.

YOU KNOW MAYBE THIS OPPORTUNITY
IS REALLY GOOD FOR LISA,

BUT IT'S CERTAINLY NOT GOOD
FOR POLAR.

I MEAN IT'S...
IT'S HURTIN' ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I HATE TO LOSE HER.

SHE WAS A GREAT DRIVER, SHE DID A LOT FOR THIS COMPANY.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO RELY,
YOU KNOW, ON TODD AND ALEX.

BUT I NEED ONE MORE GUY
TO FILL THIS TEAM,

AND ART'S GONNA BE THE GUY.

NARRATOR:
TO FEND OFF DARRELL AND LISA,

MARK NEEDS ALL THE HELP
HE CAN GET.

SO TO FILL OUT HIS ROSTER,
HE'S CALLING IN A WILD CARD.

ART:
DO I THINK PEOPLE
UNDERESTIMATE ME?

YEAH, I KNOW [BLEEP] WELL
PEOPLE UNDERESTIMATE ME,

BIG TIME.

YEARS AGO WHEN I USED TO SCRAP, I WEIGHED 155 POUNDS, MAN.

I WAS UNDERESTIMATED
EVERY DANCE I WENT TO,

AND I'M STILL UNDERESTIMATED.

PEOPLE UNDERESTIMATE ME
IN A LOT OF AREAS, EH,

AND SOMETIMES I GOTTA LAUGH, EH,

'CAUSE SOMETIMES THEY THINK
THEY'RE PULLING THE WOOL
OVER MY EYES,

AND I JUST-
[GUNSHOTS BLAST]

[BIRD CAWS]

RULE NUMBER ONE...
RULE NUMBER [BLEEP] ONE:

NEVER EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER,
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,

UNDERESTIMATE THE [BLEEP]
OPPONENT,

BECAUSE THAT LITTLE 90 POUND
[BLEEP]

MIGHT PUT A BULLET
IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD

WHEN YOU TURN AROUND.

NEVER EVER UNDERESTIMATE

I DIDN'T GET THROUGH THE ICE.

THAT'S ABOUT ALL
THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

MARK:
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, WELL,
LET'S NOT START OFF THAT WAY.

I GOT A LOT RIDING
ON THIS SEASON, ART,
ART: YEAH, I KNOW.

MARK:
SO WE CAN'T FOOL AROUND.
SO I JUST-

I NEED YOU TO SLOW DOWN,
I NEED YOU TO THINK, MAN.

JUST MAKE IT WORK, OKAY?

ART: OKAY, MY FRIEND.
MART: OKAY, BYE.

ART: SEE YA LATER.
MARK: TAKE IT EASY.

ART:

MARK SAYS,
IN THE BEGINNING THERE,

THAT WE HAD TO UP OUR GAME
HERE, EH?

I'VE GOTTA UP MY GAME, B'Y.

YOU TAKE WHAT YOU GET, EH?

THE LESS YOU GET [BLEEP],
THE HAPPIER YOU'RE GONNA BE,

THAT'S A GIVEN.

I CAN WORRY MY [BLEEP] SELF
ALL DAY LONG

AND AT THE EVENING, IT'S GONNA
BE THE SAME KIND OF A DAY.

OR I CAN SIT [BLEEP]
AND HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY,

AND IT'S THE SAME
IN THE END ANYWAY.

[SIRENS WAIL]
DO YOU HEAR THAT?

[SIREN WAILS]

HOLY [BLEEP], B'Y.

DRIVERS MUST HAVE THEIR PAPERWORK IN ORDER AT ALL TIMES

IN CASE OF ANY SPOT CHECKS.

HOW'S SHE GOIN'?

MY PAPERWORK, BUDDY.

NARRATOR:
IF NOT, THEY COULD FACE
COSTLY FINES,

OR EVEN BE KICKED OFF
THE ROAD.

THERE'S ANOTHER BOOK, B'Y.

WHERE THE [BLEEP]

I'M GOING TO HEAD BACK

YEAH, BUT I CAN'T SHOW YOU
NOTHIN' THOUGH.

I HAVE- I HAVE-
I CAN'T-

ART:
OKAY.

I'M ALMOST POSITIVE
IT'S NOT HERE.

I'M IN DEEP ENOUGH NOW.

THIS IS-THIS IS-WE'RE TALKING
[BLEEP] [BLEEP] BIG FINE HERE.

WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE
TO MOVE THIS TRUCK.

WE'RE GONNA BE TOWED AWAY

NARRATOR:

A HIT ON HIS RECORD COULD COST
ART HIS JOB AT POLAR.

SHUT DOWN RIGHT HERE, B'Y.

OH MY GOD.

NARRATOR:
ON THE ROUTE TO SHAMATTAWA...

ART:
OH MY GOD, BUDDY,

I DON'T LIKE THIS JOB
VERY MUCH.

NARRATOR:
THE TRAIL'S GETTING
EVEN ROCKIER

FOR POLAR DRIVER ART BURKE.

ART:
WELL, WE'RE SHUT DOWN
RIGHT HERE, B'Y.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU,
BUDDY.

I DON'T HAVE IT.

AM I GONNA GET FINED ON THIS?

ART:
OKAY, HEY,
THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.

OFFICER:
YEP.

ART:
HOLY [BLEEP] IS ALL I CAN SAY
ABOUT THAT.

NARRATOR:
ART GETS A SECOND CHANCE,

AND HE'S BACK ON THE ROAD
FOR NOW.

ART:
I DIDN'T HAVE THE REGISTRATION
OF THE TRUCK TO SHOW HIM.

I WAS THINKING
HERE WE GO AGAIN,

RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

SO WE COME OUT OF THAT BY
THE SKIN OF MY [BLEEP] TEETH.

DOWN THE ROAD WE GO AGAIN.

I FIGURED THEY WERE GONNA TOW
MY [BLEEP] TRUCK AND EVERYTHING
THERE, B'Y.

[WHISTLES]
AWAY WE GO.

NOW WE'LL BOUNCE YOU ALONG HERE

AND JUST SEE WHAT THE [BLEEP]
IS GONNA HAPPEN NEXT, B'Y.

[TRUCK RUMBLES,
HORN BLASTS]

NARRATOR:
AS ART MOVES FORWARD
WITH A CRUCIAL HAUL,

170 MILES TO THE SOUTH

ON THE RUGGED TRAIL
TO GARDEN HILL...

[HORN BLASTS]

DARRELL:
I KIND OF NEED TO MAKE
THE BEST TIME THAT I CAN

WHILE I'VE ONLY GOT ONE TRUCK
RUNNING RIGHT NOW.

NARRATOR:
DARRELL WARD'S RACING
AGAINST A DEADLINE

WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT HAUL
OF HIS CAREER.

DARRELL:
YOU KNOW I HAVEN'T HEARD
FROM LISA,

I DON'T KNOW
IF THE TRUCK'S BROKE DOWN,

I DON'T KNOW
IF SHE GOT IT FIXED,

DON'T KNOW
IF SHE'S ON THE ROAD.

IT IS WHAT IT IS.
I'M GONNA ROUND OUT THIS RUN.

I DON'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE.

NARRATOR:
BUT MAKING IT TO GARDEN HILL
BY MORNING WON'T BE EASY...

OH.

NARRATOR:
AS THE RECORD COLD FRONT HAS FROZEN THE ROAD SO SOLID...

OH!

NARRATOR:
THAT EVERY BUMP FEELS LIKE
A ROUND IN THE BOXING RING.

[METALLIC CREAKING]

BANGING. HOLY.

A ROLLER COASTER RIDE,
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET.

KEEP AN EYE ON THE LOAD,
HOPE FOR THE BEST.

OH! WHOA!

[METALLIC CREAKING]
OH, [BLEEP]!

I THINK I KNOW THE REASON
WHY I GOT THE CONTRACT

TO HAUL ALL THESE BUILDING
SUPPLIES INTO GARDEN HILL

WAS NOBODY ELSE WANTED TO.

[TRUCK RUMBLES]

[BANGING AND CLANGING]

THE WHOLE ROAD IS BUMPY.

JUST KEEP YOUR SPEED RIGHT,
KEEP YOUR LOAD TIGHT,

WEAR YOUR KIDNEY BELT.

NARRATOR:
AS THE RUGGED TRAIL CONTINUES
ITS ASSAULT...

KIND OF LIKE THAT.

NARRATOR:
DARRELL AND THE HEAVY LOAD
TAKE A POUNDING.

OH! OH, SHE'S A LONG, OL'
ROUGH ROAD.

[BANGING]
OH BOY, I'M TELLING YOU.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE
RIDING A BULL.

HOLY COW!

IT'S GONNA TAKE ME
A LITTLE LONGER

TO GET INTO GARDEN HILL
THAN I EXPECTED,

SO I'M REALLY GONNA BE
PUSHING IT.

WE'VE GOT A TRUCK BROKE DOWN
IN WINNIPEG,

HAVEN'T HEARD FROM LISA,
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

IT IS WHAT IT IS,
I CAN'T STOP.

NARRATOR:
AS DARRELL ROCKS ON...

BACK IN WINNIPEG,

HIS BUSINESS PARTNER
IS FINALLY ROLLING.

LISA:
OH, COOL.

HOW'S IT GOIN'?

OH, GOOD TO GO, HUH?

NARRATOR:
A LOCAL SHOP'S
GOT THE TRUCK FIXED

AND LISA'S BACK IN BUSINESS.

YOU'RE ALL READY
FOR THE WINTER ROADS,
AND HAVE A GOOD TRIP.

LISA:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MECHANIC: TAKE CARE.
LISA: I APPRECIATE IT.

MECHANIC: BYE.
LISA: BYE.

LISA:
THE MECHANIC'S BEEN WORKING
ON IT.

I'M PRETTY GLAD THEY GOT IT
FIXED PRETTY FAST,

SO I'M GONNA TO GET BACK ON
THE ROAD AND GET OUT OF HERE.

NARRATOR:
BUT NOW THE HARD PART BEGINS.

[TRUCK HORN]

LISA:
FIRST LOAD OF THE SEASON.

ROUGH START, BUT BY GOLLY,
IT'S GETTIN' THERE.

NARRATOR:
MORE THAN A HALF DAY BEHIND,

LISA RISKS LOSING THE NEW
CONTRACT,

AND POSSIBLY THE COMPANY
IF SHE FAILS TO DELIVER.

LISA:
THIS YEAR, INSTEAD OF BECOMING
JUST AN EMPLOYEE,

I AM NOW IN A PARTNERSHIP
IN A BUSINESS,

WHICH I'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE,

AND IT'S ACTUALLY
KIND OF SCARY.

DARRELL MIGHT GET HIS IN,

BUT IF I DON'T GET MINE IN
ON TIME, YOU KNOW,

YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE
YOUR CONTRACT.

SO I'M GONNA DO
MY VERY, VERY, VERY BEST

TO GET THIS IN ON TIME,
UNDAMAGED,

BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT
RIDING ON IT.

[ENGINE ROARS]

NARRATOR:
AT THE END OF THE TRAIL
TO WASAGAMACK...

TODD:
I AM NOW PULLING IN
TO THE COMMUNITY.

NARRATOR:
TODD DEWEY'S PROVING WHY
HE'S POLAR'S TOP DOG.

TODD:
SO I MADE REALLY GOOD TIME,
I'M EXTREMELY EXCITED.

I HAD A PRETTY ROUGH PATCH
THIS AFTERNOON,

SO RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING
TO GET UNLOADED

AND GET OUTTA HERE.

NARRATOR:
AFTER BATTLING ONE OF THE
SLICKEST ROADS IN MANITOBA,

THE URGENT LOAD IS DELIVERED
ON TIME,

AND POLAR STRIKES FIRST.

TODD:
LET SEE IF WE CAN GET UNLOADED.
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

I DON'T WANT TO LET MARK DOWN.

HE KNOWS THAT
I'M ONE HELL OF A DRIVER,

AND I'LL GET THE JOB DONE
NO MATTER WHAT.

THAT'S JUST THE WAY I AM,
ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.

NARRATOR:
IN THE MORNING...

ALEX:
GET INTO SHAMATTAWA
AND FINALLY GET THIS LOAD OFF,

AND GOOD LORD WILLING,

START ON MY WAY BACK
TO GET THE NEXT ONE.

NARRATOR:
ALEX DEBOGORSKI ARRIVES
IN SHAMATTAWA

WITH HIS LOAD
FOR THE HOSPITAL.

ALEX:
WELL, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT LOAD
FOR A NUMBER OF PEOPLE.

IT'S AN IMPORTANT LOAD
FOR THE CUSTOMER,

OF COURSE, THEY NEED THIS.

IT'S AN IMPORTANT LOAD FOR ME

BECAUSE IF I DON'T GET IT
THERE, I WON'T GET PAID,

AND IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT
LOAD FOR MARK.

NARRATOR:
AND WITH THE DELIVERY,
POLAR'S GOT TWO ON THE BOARD.

ALEX:
I GOT MY FIRST LOAD DELIVERED
ON TIME.

NOW WE'RE OFF.

NARRATOR:
BUT 200 MILES
TO THE SOUTHWEST...

DARRELL:
ALL RIGHT, HERE I AM.

BIG CITY OF GARDEN HILL.

NARRATOR: THE COMPETITION'S MAKING NOISE, TOO.

DARRELL:
I'VE GOT A GOOD REPUTATION
AS A DRIVER,

GETTING THINGS THERE ON TIME
AND IN ONE PIECE.

MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS LISA.

NARRATOR:
DARRELL WARD'S BRINGING IN
THE FIRST HALF

OF THE GARDEN HILL DELIVERY.

BUT, WITH LISA STILL
ON THE ROAD,

THE FATE OF THE CONTRACT,
AND THE NEW COMPANY,

IS UP IN THE AIR.

DARRELL:
YOU KNOW, I GOTTA FULFILL THIS
CONTRACT HERE.

I AM DEPENDING ON LISA
TO GET THAT LOAD DELIVERED.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE A DEADLINE
ON THESE LOADS,

AND I THINK LISA WILL MAKE IT
ON TIME.

I HOPE SO.

IF NOT, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

NARRATOR:
WHILE DARRELL WAITS
ON HIS BUSINESS PARTNER,

160 MILES TO THE NORTHEAST...

[TRUCK HORN BLASTS]

ART:
MY FATHER USED TO SAY,
"ANOTHER DAY,
ANOTHER DOLLAR," B'Y.

SO THIS IS ANOTHER DAY.
TIME WILL TELL-

TIME WILL TELL IF WE'RE GONNA
MAKE ANOTHER DOLLAR.

NARRATOR:
POLAR'S WILD CARD IS STILL ON THE ROAD WITH THE HEAVIEST HAUL

OF THE SHAMATTAWA CONTRACT.

ART:
SO WE'LL JUST HAVE TO GO SLOW,
AND OUR SHACKS WILL BE FINE.

THERE'S NOT MUCH
THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN

THAT HASN'T ALREADY [BLEEP]
HAPPENED, SO...

THERE'S NO SENSE
IN GETTING EXCITED,

ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES I DO.

NARRATOR:
KEEPING THE OVERSIZED LOAD
SECURE

OVER THE ROCK-HARD TERRAIN

WILL TAKE EVERYTHING ART'S GOT.

[BOUNCING]

THIS IS THE KIND HERE
THAT [BLEEP] UP YOUR LOAD, EH.

[ENGINE RUMBLES]

NARRATOR:
AND THE FINAL 20 MILES
ARE THE ROUGHEST PATCH

OF THE ENTIRE TRAIL.

[BANGING, GEAR SHIFTS]

[BLEEP]!
WHAT THE [BLEEP] WAS THAT, NOW?

I'VE GOTTA GET OUT
AND HAVE A LOOK AT THIS.

SO LET ME GET AROUND
THIS [BLEEP] TURN, HERE.

LET'S SEE WHAT'S GOING ON
BACK THERE, NOW?

[ENGINE IDLES,
AIR BRAKES HISS]

I'M GONNA CHECK MY SHACK AGAIN,
SEE HOW IT'S DOING.

IT'S NOT THE WARMEST OUT HERE,
B'Y.

[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

HOLY MOTHER AND-
[BLEEP], [BLEEP], [BLEEP].

THE SHACK IS FALLING OFF HERE.

I'VE GOTTA FIGURE OUT A WAY
TO HOLD IT TIGHT.

RIGHT OFF THE [BLEEP] BAT, EH?

I'VE GOTTA PUT SOME CLOTHES ON.

NARRATOR:
THE 18-TONNE CAMP SHACK
HAS SHIFTED OFF THE TRAILER.

ART:
WHAT'LL HAPPEN,

IT'LL SLIDE OVER THE [BLEEP]
EDGE ON THE OTHER SIDE.

NARRATOR:
AND IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE,
WITHOUT HEAVY EQUIPMENT
TO MOVE IT,

ART WILL HAVE TO DO
WHAT HE CAN TO GET IT SECURED,

OR THE LOAD WON'T MAKE IT
TO TOWN.

PROBABLY NOT GONNA BE ABLE
TO GET 'ER THERE.

IT'S A GOOD THING I CHECKED
WHEN I DID

BECAUSE IF I DON'T FIX IT NOW,

THE WHOLE [BLEEP] SHACK
IS GONNA FALL OFF
THE [BLEEP] TRUCK.

THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT THE WAY
I WANTED TO START OFF
THE FIRST RUN.

THIS IS GONNA BE A PAIN
IN THE [BLEEP].

OH MY GOD.

WHOA!
FOR [BLEEP] SAKE!

NARRATOR: JUST OUTSIDE HIS DESTINATION...

ART:
OH MY GOD.

WHOA!
FOR [BLEEP] SAKE!

NARRATOR:
THINGS ARE FALLING APART
FOR POLAR DRIVER ART BURKE.

WELL, THIS SEASON, MARK TOLD ME
TO STEP UP MY PACE HERE,

SO I DON'T KNOW HOW IN THE
[BLEEP] I'M GONNA REMEDY THIS.

NARRATOR:
THE FROZEN ROAD HAS TAKEN
A TOLL ON HIS HAUL,

AND NOW THE GIANT SHACK,
AND POSSIBLY ART'S JOB,

ARE BARELY HANGING ON.

ART:
THE CHAINS ARE SLIDING IN
UNDER THERE

AND I GUESS THAT'S
WHAT'S LOOSENING IT UP.

I DON'T KNOW...
WHAT'S DOING IT.

I KNOW ONE [BLEEP] THING.

I GOTTA GET IT TIGHTER
THAN THAT.

I'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT,
THAT'S FOR [BLEEP] SURE.

I'M GONNA DO WHATEVER I CAN GET

TO GET THAT [BLEEP] INTO
[BLEEP] THE WOODS IN ONE PIECE.

THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY
ABOUT THIS.

NARRATOR:
WITHOUT ADDITIONAL CHAINS
AND STRAPS TO HELP SECURE
THE LOAD,

ART TIGHTENS IT DOWN
THE BEST HE CAN.

ART:
SO, WE'RE OFF.

NARRATOR:
AND WITH THREE MILES
LEFT TO GO,

HE PREPARES TO ROLL THE DICE.

[ENGINE RUMBLES]

ART:
WELL, WE GOT 'ER
ALL STRAPPED DOWN,

SO I'M GONNA LIMP MY WAY
INTO SHAMATTAWA,

AND HOPEFULLY THE SHACK IS NOT
GONNA FALL ALL APART, EH?

HOPEFULLY WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT.

[HARD THUD]

THAT'S THE BEST
WE CAN HOPE FOR.

[ENGINE RUMBLES]

[BANGING]

[BLEEP]!

HANG ON.

[BANGING]

WE'RE JUST GONNA [BLEEP] BOUNCE AROUND LIKE THIS

ALL THE WAY BACK, BUDDY.

[BANGING]

[BLEEP]
WE MADE 'ER, B'Y.

NARRATOR:
AS HE PULLS INTO TOWN,
ART'S PATCHWORK HOLDS ON...

[ART LAUGHING VICTORIOUSLY]

NARRATOR:
AND THE HEAVY HAUL
IS SAFELY DELIVERED.

ART:
WELL, WE FINALLY MADE IT
TO SHAMATTAWA,

WITH THE SCREW-UPS
AND THE BUMPY ROADS,

AND ALL THAT KIND OF [BLEEP]
GOING ON,

AND FINALLY WE'RE HERE, B'Y.

NARRATOR:
DESPITE THE HICCUPS,
ART'S TRIP IS A SUCCESS,

AND POLAR'S FIRST THREE LOADS
ARE IN THE BOOKS.

[METALLIC THUD]

[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

NARRATOR:
BUT 200 MILES
TO THE SOUTHWEST...

LISA:
I'VE JUST HAD A ROUGH START.

IT'S FIRST LOAD OF THE SEASON,
I'M TRYING TO GET IT THERE
ON TIME.

NARRATOR:
THE COMPETITION IS STILL
ON THE ROAD.

LISA:
THIS SEASON RIDES ON WHETHER
WE CAN GET THESE LOADS IN HERE
ON TIME.

WE JUST HAVE TO PROVE
TO OUR CUSTOMER

THAT WE CAN HANDLE
A BIG CONTRACT

AND KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON.

NARRATOR:
WITH A DEADLINE LOOMING
IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS,

LISA'S RACING TO DELIVER
THE SECOND HALF

OF THE GARDEN HILL CONTRACT.

LISA:
THERE IS A LOT RIDING ON THIS
FIRST TRIP HERE.

[LOUD CRASH]

I KNOW, IT'S SOME SERIOUS
ROUGH STUFF HERE.

[ENGINE RUMBLES]

NARRATOR:
BUT THE HARD, FROZEN ROAD
ISN'T DOING HER ANY FAVORS...

[ENGINE RUMBLES]

AND EACH FINAL MILE GETS
ROUGHER AND ROUGHER.

LISA:
OH, LOOK OUT.

[ENGINE ROARS]
[LOUD THUNK]

HOLY SMOKES!

[ENGINE RUMBLES]

OH! WOO-HOO!

NARRATOR:
FINALLY...

LISA:
JUST ARRIVING
AT GARDEN HILL, HERE.

I'M PULLING IN AND I FEEL
I COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER,

BUT I DIDN'T GIVE UP,
I MADE IT.

NARRATOR:
LISA COMES THROUGH IN TIME,

AND THE NEW BUSINESS VENTURE
IS ALIVE AND KICKING.

[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

LISA:
THEY'RE OFFLOADING
THE BUILDING SUPPLIES,

EVERYTHING'S HERE,
IN ONE PIECE,

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT COUNTS.

NARRATOR:
WITH THE DELIVERY,

THE RENEGADE COMPANY
PROVES THEY'RE FOR REAL,

AND THE WAR ON THE WINTER ROAD
KICKS INTO HIGH GEAR.

LISA: THERE YOU GO.
MAN: ALL RIGHT.
LISA: THANKS.

LISA:
I THINK IT'S GONNA BE
A GOOD SEASON FOR US

BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY REALLY
GOOD TRUCK DRIVERS,

SO WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD CHANCE
AT BEING A REALLY GOOD COMPANY.

DARRELL, I'M HERE OFFLOADING
AT GARDEN HILL RIGHT NOW.

DARRELL:
NICE! YOUR FIRST LOAD
FOR OUR NEW COMPANY.

YEAH, COPY THAT.

DARRELL:
GLAD YOU MADE IT.

LISA:
THANKS.

SEE YOU LATER, DARRELL.
BYE.

NARRATOR:
THIS SEASON...

[HORN BLASTS]

WHOA!

[LAUGHING]

OH!

DARRELL:
RIGHT ON, BUDDY!
YEAH-HA!

NARRATOR:
IT'S A RACE AGAINST THE
CLOCK...

LISA:
GO, GO, GO, GO!

[HORN BLASTS,
LOUD CRASH]

TODD:
COME ON, GIRL!
WOO-HOO!

NARRATOR:
AS MOTHER NATURE PLAYS A TRICK
ON THE DRIVERS...

LISA:
AGH! OH MY GOSH!

NARRATOR:
AND MELTS THE ROADS
IN RECORD TIME.

ART:
[HARD THUNK]
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!

NARRATOR:
PLUS...

TODD:
THIS IS HUDSON BAY, RIGHT HERE.
THE OCEAN.

NARRATOR:
A JOURNEY TO THE END
OF THE ROAD AND BEYOND.

TODD:
THIS AIN'T EVEN AN ICE ROAD.
WE ARE BUILDING OUR OWN ROADS.
