? It�s Alright by The Big Push ?

(yawns)

? It�s alright ?

? It�s alright ?

? It�s alright ?

(water running)

? I got confused explaining s- ?

(music stops abruptly) (spitting)

- They must�ve cranked those chemicals again.

- Yup.

- Jugs are on the porch. Water�s not going to fetch itself.

Atii.

(scoffs)

(rhythmic music)

(coughing)

- Must be nice.

- Huh? - Buying filtered water.

Too expensive. Got to drink government pool water.

Back in the days we had nice ice straight from the river.

Pure. Nice and... (inhales deeply)

(hacking): ...healthy.

(coughing)

Too old now to get it myself.

- Here. You take this.

- Yeah.

(hacking)

(spits up phlegm)

- Okay, which one should I shoot today?

I have one: "Arctic Glam: Surviving the Cold in Style."

Two: "Ice Queen Skincare Routine."

Three, I have "The Hotel Living Hack Series."

- Sounds busy. I�ve got to get going, I should...

- Well, do you have anything content-worthy

happening at your work today?

- Uh...

Just putting samples into, um... sample tubes.

And then I have to fill the tubes to the right level.

And then I�ve got to measure it.

You know, just big measuring day.

Just a lot of measuring.

- Hmm.

Well, call me if you get bored. - Okay.

- Okay.

- Alistair�s waiting, I gotta go.

- Love you. (Kuuk): Bye!

- Bye.

- Bun! Let�s go! What are you working on?

- A business grant application.

- Mom, that�s awesome. What are you thinking?

- You know, like, expanding?

Like... sewing supplies and, I don�t know, beading stuff.

Fabric? You know, so women don�t have to order from down south

and all those Elders don�t know how to do that online stuff.

- That�s such a good idea.

- Yeah. Well, you keep on saying to aim higher and all that shit,

so I thought I�d aim big, do something new.

But I don�t know how to answer all of these dumb questions.

Like, "How does your business reflect the story

of your community?" (groans)

- How about, "My store expansion

reflects the heartbeat of Ice Cove.

Women shaping the future while honouring the past."

Or, um...

"By creating spaces for women�s goods,

we rewrite the story of our community."

- Since when did you get so fluent in bullshit?

- I could help if you�d like.

- No, I can figure it out.

- Okay. Well, if you need me, I�ll be around.

Bun! Boots! Time for school.

Let�s leave the monster mask at home today.

(distant dog barking)

(office phones ringing)

- Hey. - Hey!

Helen, I�ve been thinking. - Oh, no, not again!

I can�t put out anymore of your fires.

- Why do we basically stop

all community programming in the winter?

- Because it�s winter. People hunker down,

it�s dark, it�s cold.

- Right. But winter is also when people feel most isolated.

- Isolation does not show up on quarterly reports.

This does.

- You�re mad because they opened a new daycare in Tuktutalik?

- No! I�m mad because the last time I was in the paper

doing good for the community

was three years ago.

No wonder we�re always fighting for funds!

- Wow.

- I know. It�s messed up. I need a win.

A good headline will mean

we have a better shot at funding.

Especially because we have to submit our annual

community programming proposal this week.

- Oh?

- You know, all the usual community programming stuff.

And Inuk leads have been getting all the dollars lately

so I put your name down. - Really?

- Relax. It�s just for optics.

Your name will help with the approval.

I do need your signature, though please.

- If I sign, could we at least suggest something

in the proposal?

- Okay. Hit me.

- We leave open the possibility

to use the funds for new ideas. Specifically for winter.

- Get me a good news headline this week and I�ll consider it.

(upbeat music)

(slurping) Ugh. This is disgusting.

We are surrounded by glaciers

but our tap water tastes like day-old piss.

Probably wondering how do I know

what day-old piss tastes like.

- Okay, alright. (Helen): It�s a long story,

but it all started when I was seeing this guy,

and one night...

(intriguing music)

- Elisapee got you running errands for her now?

- Well, she volun-told me. You don�t say no to Elisapee.

- And what are you doing now?

- I don�t know, what am I doing now?

- Hey, Aiv. If this was your store,

what would your long-term vision be?

- Bullets.

(quirky music)

(sighs)

(phone keys clicking)

(Siaja): Delivering ice to Elders will make

a great headline.

- Mm-hmm. If I�d known we�d be doing this,

I would�ve brought my water quality kit.

- It�s fine. Families have been using this water spot

since forever. You worry too much.

- You�ve done this a lot, eh?

- I got some practice as a kid.

It�s pretty tradish to do this for Elders.

Alright, come on, we�re burning daylight!

- Alright, kid.

Let�s get this headline shot before my back gives out.

? Take Control by The Mysterines ?

? I can�t finish what I�ve started ?

(laughing) (camera snaps)

? I know I let it all fall apart it�s ?

? Well I�ve heard it before ?

? But not known it �til now ?

? The wrongdoings don�t fade ?

? I feel it this time ?

? Something is changing ?

(Siaja): Say cheese! (camera snaps)

(chuckling) Okay, just a couple more.

? My fear comes back ?

? Well I�ve heard it before ?

? I don�t wanna know it anymore ?

? Well I�ve heard it before ?

? My fear comes back to take control ?

Looks real, right?

- Mm-hmm.

(knock at door)

- Hey.

- Still working.

- I really need help with this business application.

- Can we do it tomorrow? I�m sorry,

I�m so exhausted right now, I can barely think.

- It�s due tomorrow.

- I promise, first thing in the morning, we�ll crush it.

(sighs)

And...

Send.

Thank you for your help.

- Mm-hmm.

(keys clicking)

? LALELEI by LEAO ?

- Okay, next question?

- "What do you want your small business

to become for your community?"

(Colin over radio): Urgent public notice:

confirmed cases of E. coli amongst several Elders.

Health Centre is monitoring.

You know what that means, another boil-water advisory.

Or, as I like to say, boil it or toilet. Your call.

- You know, I just want people to like walk in and feel

happy, that�s it. You know?

I don�t want them to talk to me too much, though.

But I just want them to, you know,

feel happy to buy stuff.

- Okay, yeah. I gotta go. Work emergency.

- No, we only have five more questions!

- I promise we�ll find time today!

Can you take Bun to school? Thank you, love you, bye.

(phone ringing)

Meet me at the community centre.

(Colin): We�ve got two more

confirmed cases, that makes 10 today-

- You know they�re gonna find a way to make this my fault.

- Helen, it�s my fault. I delivered the water

to the Elders. - No! No. It�s my fault,

I should�ve- - We poisoned the Elders!

- Keep your voices down!

Ah... Everything is fine!

How do you know it was you?

- Well, we stopped by the Health Centre

and it was all the Elders

we gave ice to. (groans)

- I promise I�ll never take initiative again.

- The ice you made me take credit for

was contaminated? If this gets out,

I know what the headline�s gonna be, "Town leader

causes elder diarrhea outbreak." That�s not a good news story.

Here�s what we�re going to do,

this is a small, lowkey E. coli outbreak.

No one died.

We�re going to enjoy our good news story

and we�re going to stop delivering ice

immediately, forever.

- Families still use that river.

If there�s something wrong with the water, they need to know.

- What happened to your "No initiative" initiative

from two minutes ago?

I said leave it alone! Don�t draw any more attention!

- So, what�s your next move, man? Not that it�s not been fun

having you around, you know, the bro-mandos. Yeah!

Still workshopping that one. (clears throat)

- Ah! Patik! Pony up, boy toys.

- Clearly, I need to find a new job �cause

I can�t make any money playing Eskimo Poker.

(Colin): So when are you gonna admit you lost your job?

- It�s not that simple. But you�re right.

I guess I should tell Lexi too...

(door opening and closing) sooner or later,

but not right now. Not right now! Shh!

Hide me! - What the hell?

What are you doing? - Colin! I brought you a matcha!

- Aw, thanks, Alexis. - I�m so sorry, Millie,

I didn�t know you were here. - Oh, am I really here, though?

- Uh... Is Kuuk around? He left this morning

without his work boots. Weird!

- Kuuk? Kuuk.

Kuuk, Kuuk.

He... I don�t know that I�ve seen him.

- Kuuk who? - Yeah, I don�t know

if we know one.

- Hmm.

(Kuuk grunts)

- Here you go, buddy. Found your peanut you lost.

Quit losing that.

Hey, sweetie. Thanks.

(slurping)

Mm-hmm.

(Siaja): What do you think we�re looking for?

- Well, could be animal contamination,

dead carcass attracting scavengers.

Whatever it is, we�ve got to find it, remove it, and test it.

- I should�ve just listened to you yesterday.

- Ah. You couldn�t have known. Nor could I.

- Maybe not but my mom taught me to look around

when collecting ice,

I should�ve at least done that.

- Sure, but hey. Sometimes, Siaja, it�s okay to just

stop and see where you�re actually standing too, you know?

- I know, but...

Sometimes I feel like I�m just so far behind in life

and I�m always trying to catch up.

I�m sick of feeling small and I want more.

(chuckling) - I�m sorry, but, you remind me

of my dad, your grandfather.

- You never really told me about him.

- He would often say, "We don�t start from nothing,

we start from everyone who came before us."

And he�s right, you know?

Because he was always reaching for the stars.

You are just like him.

Well, minus the bushy moustache.

- Give me time.

- Stop, come on.

(wind gusting)

(snow crunching)

Oh! There we go.

What was that about looking around?

- I�ll grab the tuuqs.

- Okay!

(intriguing music)

- Where�s Siaja? She�s not answering her phone.

- Neevee! Surprised to see you here.

(scoffs)

- Oh, hi, Helen.

- Hi! You�re the storekeeper, right? Nice to see you again.

- You�re still in town?

- I extended my stay.

Thought maybe I could cozy up and do some of that research

for my new book.

- And she�s interviewing me.

- Well, I actually came in for a town map but stayed

for the inspiration.

- That�s great.

If you want your book to be boring.

- Excuse me! My husband is the president

of the Hunters and Trappers Association.

I�ve got political intrigue, and sex in an iglu.

- Practically writes itself.

- When is Siaja back?

- She and her dad left a couple of hours ago,

she�s probably doing exactly what I told her

not to do. Does she do that to you too?

- She�s with Alistair?

- Alistair! What a coincidence! We�re having dinner tonight.

(intriguing music)

- You know what, I�m...

trying to take your stupid idea about

expanding my stupid store, and finally do something for me,

and there�s a stupid grant application that�s due today,

and I�m really lost!

- Okay, hold up. This one is the small business grant,

which is Phase Two of the process.

Phase One is the business plan grant.

You do this one first to access Phase Two.

It�s as easy as that.

- You know what? I know exactly what to do.

(thudding) Problem solved.

- It was stupid, okay? I just ... I thought it would be easier

if I just found a job first.

I�m sorry, I didn�t want to worry you.

- Just don�t do it again, okay?

- From now on, just complete honesty.

- Yeah? Honesty? Really? - Mm-hmm.

- How do you feel about my matcha lattes?

- Matcha lattes?

They taste like grass. Dipped in a total waste

of money. I�m sorry! - I knew it!

- I�m sorry. - Okay, my turn.

I don�t like when you FaceTime me

and you pretend that you�re in an earthquake.

It�s never funny and what if one day

you�re in an earthquake, I�m not gonna believe you!

- Yeah, no more earthquakes, okay, yeah.

- You swear? - Mm-hmm, I swear.

- Okay. - Okay.

(engine humming)

- Okay! Go for it!

(slight creaking) Keep going!

It�s working! Keep going!

You got it, you got it!

Almost there! (ice breaking)

We got it! - No!

(chuckling) - What?

(engine sputtering) Woah.

- Awesome. But our ride is dead.

- Shoot.

- I�ll call my mom.

(tense music)

Oh no... - What?

(phone ringing) - This might not go smoothly.

(engine humming)

Thanks for coming, Mom.

- Nope. You�re sitting with your father.

(throat singing music)

(grunting)

(Alistair): Woah! What the hell did you do?

That�s okay. I didn�t need my tailbone anyway.

- Mom, I said I was sorry.

It�s been a crazy couple of days.

- She was just trying to do something helpful

for the community.

- Yeah, totally.

You two are so good at helping people, huh?

Real selfless.

- Hey! - Let it go.

(scoffs)

(rhythmic music)

(keys jingle)

Do you still want help?

- I�m not doing that anymore.

- Okay, great.

(door opens)

(soft music)

(indistinct chatter)

(door opens and shuts) Hello?

- Your dad already helped.

(toilet flushing)

- That was uh...

Pretty bad.

(Elder chuckling)

How did things go at home?

- Not great.

I really messed things up with my mom.

She like never asks for help, and then the one time she does,

I bail. I just feel bad.

- Hey, you removed a contaminated carcass

from a water supply. Huh? So? Mixed bag kind of day, eh?

(chuckling)

- Did you also get that from your dad?

The always-finding the-silver-lining?

- My dad? Oh yeah.

He would never dwell on mistakes, ever.

Always looking up, that guy. Literally.

I mean he was an astronaut, actually.

- No! You�re joking! Are you joking?

Why am I just learning this now?

How do I know so little about my family?

- I promise I will fill you in on this later,

but I just realized I need to go get ready for a dinner thing.

- No, you can�t just drop that kind of information

and then leave.

- I promise! I promise,

later! Later. (chuckling)

- Expanding my store is costing me a fortune.

When you become an adult,

always have two major credit cards. Okay?

In case you have to max one out.

- I can just use Anaana�s.

- No, Bun. You can�t rely on others to do things for you.

You need to do things for yourself, like me.

Now, go make me another cup of coffee,

and don�t use too much whitener this time.

(sighing)

(playful music)

- Hey. - Hey. Another radio shift done?

- Well, I mean, that might be my last one for a while.

- Oh? - Alexis kinda

figured out I�ve been hiding out in the booth all week.

I... probably should�ve been honest sooner.

- I, uh...

poisoned some Elders yesterday.

- Wait, that was you? - Yeah.

- No way! - Beat that.

(stammering)

Well, I gotta go get yelled at. - Okay.

- Wish me luck.

- Luck!

(soft music)

Am I still in trouble? - It�s fine.

I�ve been getting calls all day.

Elders asking us to start an ice delivery program.

And the paper is going to interview me tomorrow.

- Good news story intact?

- For now.

- Great.

I�ve been thinking more about that winter idea.

- Oh?

- If we get the funding,

let�s do something different with it this winter.

Just once, see how it does.

So my big pitch is something that�s not

a fundraiser, not a festival, not for tourists, for Inuit.

- You�re being vague.

- I know, I�m getting there.

People want to dress up and have an excuse

to leave their houses in the dead of winter.

They want music and lights and dancing and... romance!

Oh! We promise them a big headliner

and we call it, The Winter Ball!

- Seriously? A ball?

In Ice Cove? - Yeah!

This could be your biggest headline yet.

We deserve something incredible just for us.

Let�s shoot for the stars!

- Tell me more.

- Okay, well, let me set the scene.

More fur than you�ve ever seen in one place...
