Original subtitles

I see you, Juan.

I see you, Juan!

You got some new moves!

You're looking good!

Rock on!

Wow.

It looks like Lola's not going to be alone after all.

Aah.

Ian.

My phone.

No.

Lola.

So, anything?

Not even a "Hey, couldn't make it,"

or, "Gee, something came up."

Oh, I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry for dragging you out as my wingwoman.

No, it's fine.

I had a great chat with the hostess.

She's gonna sign up for my boot camp.

Nice.

Huh, would you look at that.

He's online, probably chatting it up with one

- of his other million matches. - Oh.

I feel like nobody can focus with this many options.

I don't know.

Look at those two over there.

They've been having a great time.

Every time one of them steps away, they're

swiping through their phones.

See?

Rude.

In fact...

What are you doing?

I am letting Mr. MIA know what I think.

And another thing...

Emma, put the phone down.

Now, while I'm at it...

there.

What is it?

He blocked me.

Why can't I just meet someone at work like you did?

Honey, you're a courtroom artist...

I mean, unless you want to date an accused criminal or a lawyer?

No, no, not that desperate yet.

Don't worry.

You're going to find your person.

And it wasn't Mark.

I know.

As hard as that was, I know I made the right choice.

Still, I'm beginning to wonder if I should just

move somewhere remote, keep it simple,

and date the only option in town.

Yeah.

Speaking of remote, Antarctica's calling.

Hi, Dad.

How's life on the ice cap?

Got a real problem.

The ice sheet is breaking up.

Hang on, Dad.

I can't hear you.

Emma, suppor...

in real danger out...

killer whales start...

Wait, did you say danger?

Dad, can you hear me?

Help, Em.

- He's all alone out... - I don't understand.

What's wrong? Where are you?

Dad, are you sick?

Dad.

Dad...

Still no luck getting through to anyone at the base?

No.

His satellite phone isn't connecting,

and nobody's seen him for weeks.

Ugh, God forbid he stay and work at a base.

No, he's got to go off on his own,

even with those chest pains he's been ignoring.

That man is obsessed with his penguins.

Didn't he name you one for your birthday?

Oh, yeah.

Juan.

Right.

OK, penguins or no penguins, he's alone.

I have to get to him.

Maybe there's a research team heading down.

I could tag along.

You mean go to Antarctica?

Well, yeah.

I can't just sit here, Kat.

It's my dad.

Ah, ah.

Look, a team is leaving from Buenos Aires, ooh,

on a cruise ship.

Fancy.

Yeah, tomorrow.

Gotta go.

I need a flight.

I need a ticket.

I need to pack.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on.

Don't you need special permission

to even set foot in Antarctica from, like, the embassy?

We'll figure it out.

Dad needs to be reminded to file his taxes.

It can't be that much paperwork.

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please.

Ha! Ha!

Ha.

I'll call you.

All right.

Wait, wait.

You're not wearing any...

Shoes.

Shoes.

I should change.

Good morning.

I'm Ingrid, your chief officer.

Your tickets, please.

Thank you.

Welcome aboard.

Thank you.

Welcome aboard.

Good morning.

Your ticket, please.

Actually, I'm not an official passenger yet.

Oh, are you with the research team or checking out?

No, no, but my dad's a researcher in Antarctica.

Ian Rivera.

Maybe you know him.

He does penguin research.

Emperor penguins, to be exact.

That doesn't matter.

So the thing is, no one can get a hold of him,

and I'm worried he's in trouble.

So I need to get on board, which means

I need to purchase a ticket. Do you prefer cash or card?

I'm sorry.

Even with a ticket, you would still require a permit.

I get that, but, um, I thought maybe

you could make an exception because of the circumstances.

Please, please.

I flew all the way here.

I have to get on this boat.

Sorry, it's the law.

So, no.

I'd be risking my job and your safety if I allowed it.

OK, how about I hop on with the research team?

They're my people.

They are my dad's people.

You would still need an official

permit to travel with them.

What I can do is take your information.

And if I discover anything about your father, I can let you know.

I'm Ingrid, the ship's chief officer.

Thank you.

No passenger?

Oh, not one with papers.

Come on, guys, let's get this gear on board.

Well, it isn't a terrible thing we're grounded.

This ship's pretty swanky.

Hey, don't get used to it.

They're just doing us a favor.

Hello.

And make sure you get the magnetometer on board.

We have to break it down and refit it with those new parts.

All right?

- Oh, whoops. - Oh.

Sorry.

Oh.

Hey, we're dancing.

Have we met?

I'm sure I would have remembered you.

I mean, I don't forget a face, so I don't think I

would have not remembered you.

Andy.

Andy Jackson, mechanical engineer of all things subzero.

Ditto.

Oh, great, a fellow engineer.

So I guess we must be working together.

Yeah, it's great.

I think I heard someone say they can't find the magnetometer.

Are you kidding?

You'd better get on board.

Boris.

Here we go.

You're a stowaway.

Well, not really.

How are you not?

You don't have a ticket.

You don't have permission to be on board.

OK, OK, I get it.

Don't worry.

I'll figure it out.

How?

There's gotta be someone on board

who'd be willing to help me.

- I - hope you're right.

And hey, you wanted remote.

So who knows?

Maybe when you get there, you'll meet a cute penguin named Juan.

Not if I get busted first.

How many days to Antarctica?

10 days?

Excuse me.

- Hey. - Hi.

There you are.

I've been looking for you.

I'm just grabbing something to eat.

We missed you at dinner.

We got invited to the captain's table.

Fun.

Sorry I missed that.

I wanted to get to work.

Copy that.

Love the enthusiasm.

We actually found a place to work.

So here, I'll show you.

Oh.

So is this is your first time out?

Because I am sure we have not worked together before.

No, we haven't. You would have remembered me.

- Remember? - That's right.

And I'm sorry, can you please remind me of your name?

- I didn't catch it. - Emma.

- Emma. - Emma Rivera.

Yeah.

My dad's actually a researcher in Antarctica.

Maybe you've heard of him...

Ian Rivera?

The name does ring a bell.

Do you work with him as well?

No, no, I'm an illustrator of blueprints.

Well, you must be excited to see your dad when we land.

You have no idea.

Actually, this may seem like a crazy story.

Everyone, this is Emma.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Ready to get to work?

Yes.

All right.

Put your food right here.

But first things first.

We need to put this magnetometer together.

Yes, it arrived.

Thank goodness.

So it's all yours.

OK.

All right, Emma.

You've seen one of these before, except it was all in one piece.

Hm.

Hi.

Just doing this.

You gotta make sure these are really straight, like that.

See, this one's wiggly.

Gotta be careful.

That looks good now.

That is ready to go somewhere.

Everything all right?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm just used to working with a different model.

So who exactly did you work with before?

That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about.

Sorry, boss, but the remote for the underwater drone

is missing.

Seriously?

What else could go wrong today?

So they were supposed to be right here.

What was the thing?

OK, let me check all the cases now, one by one.

Um, could... I'll be right back.

- Emma. - Ah.

There you are.

What is going on?

I'm sorry.

I should have told you.

Told me what?

I'm not an engineer.

But I am an illustrator, just not one of blueprints.

OK, so wait.

What exactly are you then?

Are you part of my team, or are you on the ship

for a different reason?

I needed to get on board so that I can get to my dad

because I think that he's in trouble.

But then this chief officer said that I

- didn't have the paperwork. - Whoa, whoa.

Are you telling me that you're not supposed to be on this ship?

Not technically.

No, there's no gray area.

Either you had permission or you don't.

The ship was leaving.

I didn't have a choice.

Oh, no, no.

Oh, Andy, please, please, please don't tell anyone.

Please, please.

Andy, listen, I will lay low.

You won't even know I'm here.

No, no, no, I can't be your co-conspirator on this.

Do you know how much trouble you can get into going

to Antarctica without a permit?

A lot.

We're talking bans, fines, arrest.

And I can't be a part of that because, unlike you, I

have permission to go to work at the base as an actual engineer.

So, no. No way.

Forget about it.

I... I... I have to tell Ingrid.

Oh.

OK.

Mhm.

You can tell Ingrid.

I don't think she'd be too thrilled to learn that I

got on board under your watch.

Oh.

So I asked the chef to save some for the end of your shift,

with two spoons, in case you wanted to share with...

with me, or whoever.

So, speaking of the dinner, I was

surprised to see that the research team

was with us on the first night.

I invited them.

Oh, well, I guess it's not fair for them to stay

tucked away on the first night.

Yeah, it's not like they're stowaways.

Please.

It's my dad.

Hm... OK, fine.

Oh.

I see you're traveling in style.

Yeah, perks of piggybacking on a cruise.

And for you, seeing as this is where you're going

to stay until we get there.

Oh, no, no, no.

I can't stay stuck in here.

Oh, no, no, no.

You can.

OK, I can...

after we figure out how to find my dad.

We?

Yeah.

You are allowed to be here.

I'm sure with all your fancy tech gear,

you could locate my dad's satellite phone.

OK, that's not what that gear is for.

But maybe I could try the bridge, contact

- somebody I know at the base. - See?

Great. Let's go.

Fine, but if you're coming with me,

you need to look official.

So...

Oh.

How's it going?

I just need to get a message out.

When do you expect those labs to be in?

I don't know, actually.

Well, they were supposed to be in yesterday.

I mean...

Peg, there's a call for you.

OK, we'll get back on that. OK?

OK.

Bye-bye.

AMCC.

Is this Peg?

The one and only.

Who's this?

This is Andy calling from the Vega.

Oh, Andy!

What, are you coming down here for some more fun in the frost?

You bet.

Um, hey, look, I was just wondering if you could

- help me out with a little... - Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Hi. Hi.

Excuse me.

Sorry. Hello.

This is Emma Rivera.

I'm looking for my dad.

I'm sorry, who is this?

Emma Rivera.

I'm Ian Rivera's daughter.

Do you know him?

Of course.

He wanders in here for a meal when he can peel himself away

from those penguins of his.

He called, and it sounded like he was in trouble.

And now his phone isn't connecting,

and the emergency service couldn't locate him.

Trouble? Wait, wait, wait.

What kind of trouble?

I don't know, but he's been having these chest pains.

Peg, have there been any bad storms down there?

Uh, none to raise the alarms.

No mayday signals either.

But don't worry.

I'll send someone out to check on him right away.

Thank you, Peg.

Thank you so, so much.

Don't worry about it.

We look out for everyone down here.

It's just what we do.

All right, listen, when you hear anything,

please call me at 555-82...

what are you doing?

They're coming.

Ah.

How is she everywhere?

Ingrid.

Fancy running into you here.

Hello there, Andy.

What are you up to in here?

I was just letting the base know we're en route.

I could have done that for you.

I was about to... to call them.

Well, if it could wait, I...

actually, I wanted to show you some of the equipment

we're working with.

I know how interested you are in what we're doing here.

So if you don't mind geeking out with me...

Well, actually, we should check in with...

I'd love to geek out with you.

Marty, why don't you place the call?

You know, I took engineering at school for three years.

Really?

Get out.

That's something else, actually.

Yeah, it was amazing, you know.

You know, I'm so interested in actually

- hearing more about that. - Yeah.

Because this is the thing...

Do you think Peg will notify the ship if she hears anything?

Don't worry.

I'll make sure that the deck notifies me if any messages

from the base come in.

Is that your dad?

Yeah, yeah.

He's with his second family.

You know, most people wouldn't solo in Antarctica.

Oh, I know.

My dad is not most people.

He's always been happy splitting his time between me

and my mom, when she was still with us, and his penguins.

When did you lose your mom?

When I was 10.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Well, my mom taught me to be a gentleman, so...

No, no.

You are taking the bed tonight.

- Stop. - Yes, you are.

No, no.

Hey, don't fight with Mama Jackson.

OK, I won't.

Where is Ms. Jackson?

My whole family's in Florida... my mom, my dad, and my sister.

Sunshine State.

Couldn't be more different than where we're headed.

True, but Antarctica is different than any place

in the world.

And that's what I love about it.

So being able to build equipment that gives us

the data to help us protect it feels

like I'm making a difference.

Hm.

You are.

Your dad must feel the same way.

Yeah. Mhm.

You miss him?

Yeah, I really do.

Well, if it was my dad, I would do everything

I could to help him, too.

Good night.

Good night.

My dad, he names his penguins like they're

little people or something.

I have to admit.

I named a seal once.

Oh.

Marmaduke.

He was like this big dog.

- He'd even follow me around. - Cute.

And he barked, too. Have you ever heard a seal bark?

I have not.

It's something like this...

Dessert for you.

Oh.

Ah!

Ha!

Yah!

Galapagos.

That's my second favorite place.

I spent three months there installing underwater cameras.

Yeah, I discovered I could sketch anything super fast,

so I got a job as a courtroom artist.

Not that it's my life ambition or anything.

What is?

I always wanted to be an illustrator.

I love capturing things in the moment...

people, places, animals.

Like, every image tells a story.

Check this out.

I got this for you.

Hm.

Oh!

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

This is your captain speaking.

We're now passing the stunning Patagonia coastline and

the final land we will see before Antarctica.

Step out to the open decks for the best vantage point,

and please enjoy the view.

Stay inside.

It's OK.

You're almost there.

You can do it.

No, no I can't.

Oh.

No.

What are you doing?

Hi.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

It's chilly, but it's beautiful.

You're not supposed to be out here.

I know, but I'm seriously getting full-blown cabin fever.

The walls were closing in.

I felt like I couldn't breathe.

I couldn't stay in there another minute

with just me and my thoughts spinning and spinning.

Peg called the ship.

She sent out a crew to check on your dad's cabin,

and he wasn't there.

But before you go to a bad place,

she also reported that it's not unusual for him

to venture out for days.

So no need to worry yet.

I appreciate that.

But I can't stop worrying until I know that he's OK.

Morning, Mr. Jackson.

Martin.

Hello.

So how are you and your team enjoying the cruise?

Oh, smooth sailing so far.

Knock on wood.

And who is this?

Emory.

Emory Rivers.

Have we met before, Ms. Rivers?

No, I don't believe so.

Well, thank you for pointing out all the different sites,

but I have a thing booked, so...

It's nice to meet you, Emory.

Well, I gotta go fine-tune some equipments.

But always a pleasure.

Was the accent necessary?

And a thing booked?

Um, sorry.

I haven't exactly been able to peruse the ship's amenities.

You haven't checked out the infinity pool?

- The what? - Not helpful.

- We should get you back. - Oh, please.

I will go crazy if that door closes on me right now.

That was Ingrid's right-hand man back there.

Right, I get that, but I need the fresh air.

I'll figure out how to blend in.

I promise.

How?

I have an idea.

How may I be of service, sir?

Wow.

Thank you.

Except what exactly is the plan?

Uh, hiding in plain sight.

See, no one suspects me as crew.

So now I'm just going to blend in.

Oh, you don't blend.

I mean, you do.

You will.

It's just we need to make sure you look busy.

OK.

Why don't you put me to work, then, Captain?

Oh, I almost forgot.

Rick?

Why not?

Ricky Rivera.

I think it has a nice ring to it.

Don't you? WOMAN: Excuse me.

Yes?

Uh, Rick, is it?

It's Ricky.

How can I help you?

I left my bracelet somewhere in the spa.

It's very dear to me.

I was having a massage in room 3.

I will find it. Don't worry.

And when I do, I will leave it with the concierge.

Oh, thank you.

You're such a doll.

Thank you.

I guess I'm off to work.

Hello.

Checking on something for a passenger.

I have a massage booked for 4 o'clock.

Yes, Ingrid.

Front room.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, that was a brutal workout.

Which way should I lie?

Front or back?

Front.

Definitely front.

No need to be gentle.

Put as much muscle into it as you can.

Oh, and before you start, would you mind turning up the heat?

Actually, I'm not your massage therapist,

but I will go get them and make sure they do that.

Hang on.

You sound familiar.

Oh, no. I doubt that.

Wait!

I just want to talk to you!

Oh, sorry.

Ma'am, your bracelet.

Oh, you're such a doll.

Thank you.

There's a story behind this that...

I would love to hear that story, but later.

All passengers, this is your captain speaking.

We are entering the waters of the Drake Passage,

and we expect it to get a bit rough.

We advise you to retire to your cabins

until things have settled.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello?

I just want to talk to you.

Oh.

The crew to the bridge.

The crew to the bridge.

Oh.

Oh.

No.

Ugh.

No.

All passengers, we're back in smooth waters.

Thank you for your cooperation.

And enjoy your evening.

Martin.

A word.

Yeah, sure.

That guest who tried to board without a ticket,

you haven't seen her, have you?

No, you said she didn't have the required paperwork.

Exactly.

So if she did get on, which she may have,

that's a big problem for her and for us.

Martin, I need you on this.

Don't worry.

You can count on me to weed her out.

Well, just a heads up.

She may be disguising herself as crew.

Clever, but not good enough for Team Vega.

That's you and me, in case you were wondering.

I got it.

She has dark hair.

Could be posing as crew.

But don't be fooled.

It's a disguise.

Well, it doesn't ring a bell.

But I will keep an eye out for her, of course.

Thank you, ma'am.

Andy.

That's not the bathroom.

Martin, hey.

We may have a stowaway.

What?

What makes you say that?

It's not important, but we need to be vigilant.

Keep an eye for anyone who seems suspicious or could be acting

as an impostor, like... like that passenger you

were speaking to this morning.

She seemed a bit edgy.

Really?

Huh.

I didn't get that.

But I just met her. So...

If you see her again, keep an eye on her

and report back to me or Ingrid.

OK, you got it, Martin.

Will passenger Marmaduke please make their way

to the deck 4 supply room?

Passenger Marmaduke.

Hey, Emma.

Emma.

Emma, are you in there?

Andy, I'm in here!

Andy!

Andy!

Hi!

Andy!

Oh, I thought I'd be stuck in there forever.

Oh.

I mean, they would have eventually

ran out of wine upstairs.

So...

Yeah, I didn't think of that.

Good thinking with the Marmaduke thing.

Oh, thank you.

And thank you for coming to my rescue.

You're becoming like my knight in shining armor.

I'm just trying not to get us both in trouble.

Yeah, yeah.

Of course.

So it was the quack on your phone

that sent Ingrid's radar up?

Yeah, the quack, my voice, and my disguise.

Well, disguise or not, she's clearly hot on your tail.

Hotter than on yours?

It's not funny.

This is serious.

She's even got Martin on the case now,

and that man is like a dog with a bone.

Besides, it doesn't matter what she's hot after.

Why not?

Because I'm not dating right now.

Ooh.

Bad breakup?

I mean, there's not a lot to it.

I was just with someone who I thought was the one.

I guess I was wrong.

She ended it?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, so was I. That's why I was more than happy to come

back out to the base.

Because if you want to get away, there's

no place in the world that gives you that feeling

of escape like Antarctica.

Hm.

So what about you?

What's your story?

It's not really a story.

More like a series of rapid-fire fails.

I either get stood up, ghosted, or meet guys who are

nothing like their profiles.

Oh, yeah, I am not looking forward to the apps.

Actually, I was thinking of deactivating my profile,

stop trying to force things.

Although I think my radius is set to, like, 20 miles.

So I doubt I have to worry about that for a while.

Probably not.

Night, Andy.

Coffee.

Tell me you brought coffee.

Later.

First, there's something you gotta see.

But I thought I could...

Trust me.

This is worth getting caught over.

You're good.

Come on.

Wow.

Oh.

It's incredible.

I made it.

Now I can find my dad.

Whoa, I was mostly kidding about the getting caught part.

Well, I made it this far.

So let me find your dad.

I promise, as soon as I get this boat unloaded,

I will do whatever it takes.

I appreciate that, really.

I do.

I've been your problem long enough.

All passengers with expedition groups A and B,

please find your way to the Zodiac deck.

I guess that's me.

Thank you.

Of course.

Hey, Emma.

Just promise me you'll be careful.

Hola.

Careful.

Enjoy your day.

Excuse me.

Ma'am, hi.

It's Ricky, the one who found your bracelet.

Oh, yes, and thank you for that.

Oh, oh, that's my pleasure.

Um, sorry, I was in such a rush.

I would still love to hear the story behind it.

Well, yes.

It wasn't the Titanic, but that bracelet goes back just as far.

Oh.

Oh, morning, ma'am.

Could I give you a hand?

Just a moment.

Do you mind?

I'm telling my friend a story here.

Yeah, sure.

Uh, enjoy the excursion.

So my grandmother's bracelet.

Where was I now?

Ah, yes, she was traveling as a stowaway.

You don't say.

Yes.

Oh.

Can I help you?

I'm Emma Rivera.

I'm looking for my dad.

Ian's daughter.

Yes.

Well, I'm Peg.

Come on over here and give me a big hug.

Hi. Hi.

It's so nice to meet you.

How did you manage to get down here so last-minute?

It's a long story, but if you could do me

a favor and keep my presence on the down-low,

that would be great.

OK.

Look, I wish we had news about your dad.

But we sent two crews out for him,

and both times, he wasn't in his cabin.

But that's not unusual for him.

That man is known to hunker down rather than lose one minute...

I know.

Of his research

I know.

I was thinking, what about a GPS?

I know his satellite phone isn't pinging,

but wouldn't he be wearing one?

Oh, he has one.

Yeah.

OK, well...

The crew found it on his workbench.

Perfect.

Oh, honey, I try to keep tabs on your dad,

but that man marches to the beat of a different drum,

which is probably why he never mentioned

anything about chest pains.

But, uh, let's keep that on the down-low,

too, because we have really strict rules

about medical exams here.

So...

Copy that.

Could you point me in the direction of his cabin?

Well, how are you thinking about getting there?

Cause you ain't walking, sweetheart.

What are you doing, Andy?

She isn't your problem anymore.

You already offered, and now you're

just going to get into trouble.

Hey!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait!

Wait!

Where are you going?

What?

Where are you going?

I can't hear.

Where are you going?

Hm?

Where are you going?

Oh.

Hello.

Also.

Hi, again.

I'm going to my dad's cabin.

Alone?

You can't do that.

Why not?

Because you've never been here before.

I've never been a stowaway before, and I managed that.

I'll be fine.

Peg set me up.

I've got a snowmobile, satellite phone.

Does Peg know you're alone?

Well...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

No, no, no, no.

But there are flash storms.

There's leopard seals.

There are crevasses in the ice that will swallow you up

before you can even see them, not that your dad

has encountered any of those.

But let me go with you.

Don't you have work do here?

I'm here for six months.

Plus, I kind of didn't mind your company.

Hop on.

I also, believe it or not, have never

driven a snowmobile before.

Oh, I believe it.

From here on out, you can't say

that I talked you into getting into trouble, though.

Don't I know it.

Any leads?

No.

She was on the boat.

Didn't see her get off.

Probably waiting until we are not looking.

Stay on board.

Keep an eye.

And I will check the base in case she alerted us.

Aye, aye, Team Captain.

Sorry.

As you were.

Wow, that is a relic.

Yeah, my dad told me it was built by British explorers.

I think it makes him feel like Shackleton.

Better than Robert Scott.

Oh.

Hello.

Huh.

Dad?

Ian?

Oh.

Well, I don't need to be an engineer to figure

out why his phone didn't work.

Oh, great.

Ugh.

Looks like he was working on something.

Could it have anything to do with that?

I have no idea.

Come on, Dad.

Where are you?

Hi.

Hello.

What's your name?

Wait.

What is that?

Emma.

It's my dad.

Dad!

Dad!

Emma?

Dad!

Oh!

Oh!

You're OK.

Emma.

Hi!

What on Earth are you doing here?

You called, and you said you needed help.

And then no one could find you or get a hold of you.

So you came all this way just to check on me?

Yeah, of course I did.

That's my girl.

You promise me you're OK?

Yes, I'm good.

You scared me.

Don't laugh.

It's not funny!

It is.

Ugh, no.

Sorry, sorry.

Hi.

Dad, this is Andy.

I would not be here without his help.

Well, it is nice to meet you, son.

I'm Ian.

Thank you for getting her here safely.

I'm really sorry that you had to go through all this.

Well, she would have gotten here with or without me.

Your daughter's really something.

That she is.

I'm confused.

That call had me so worried.

What is going on?

Well, this is really embarrassing.

Um, it seems that we had a little broken telephone going on

because I'm not the one that needs help.

Sure.

Who is?

A penguin.

A penguin?

Yeah.

Meet my Spheniscidae family...

penguins.

I've been studying them for years.

I know the past generations, the new generations,

who's mating with who, who needs a mate,

which brings me to my problem.

Come on.

That's Lola.

A piece of the ice shelf broke off,

and it separated her from the colony and her mate.

Couldn't she just swim back?

No.

A pod of killer whales is in the bay.

What about a boat?

We could push the floe back to the ice cap.

Not in those waters.

Uh-uh, it's too dangerous to navigate through the broken ice

in this current.

But I did manage to tether the floe with a couple of clamps

so it doesn't drift further away, but that's about it.

Is that Lola and her mate calling out to each other?

That guy right there, that's Hugo.

He searches the colony for her every day.

He's never given up.

I was beginning to believe that she

was going to be alone forever.

You're right, Dad.

It's not how it ends.

Wait, can't you use the tethers to pull it in?

I've tried, but when I do, it tips.

She'd fall right in the ocean.

Exactly.

I've been trying to come up with a plan,

but an engineer I am not.

All I can do is keep the floe from drifting out to sea.

But the tethers, they just keep coming loose.

Uh, have you met Andy?

Mechanical engineer of all things subzero.

Maybe not all things.

You're being modest.

I'm sure you could help, right?

I could take a look.

I'm guessing that you're here on business other than penguins.

I don't mind a side project.

Well, should we head back to the base,

let Peg know that we're OK, and then see what we

can think up someplace warmer?

I would love to, but I gotta keep an eye on the floe.

If a tether snaps, the other one is not far behind.

We could set up this feed so you can see it from anywhere.

Yeah?

What'd I tell you?

Hey, Peg!

What is wrong with you?

We actually had me starting to really worry this time.

Well, we can't have that now, can we?

Oh, boy.

Tell that to your daughter, who came all this way.

What are you doing?

Trying to keep a low profile.

Hey, Ingrid.

Oh.

What's up?

Can I help you with anything?

I'm just making sure no one came on shore

who wasn't supposed to.

Right, the stowaway.

Martin warned me about that.

What?

Turn around.

How do you think she got here, Ian?

What?

Who's that over there?

Oh, that's, uh...

that's Juan.

Yeah, he was the one waiting for the magnetometer.

Well, keep your eyes open.

Copy that.

Oh, and Andy, remember, your room is still

yours whenever we are anchored.

We are just here for two more days,

and then we'll be back in two weeks.

So feel free to come aboard.

Hey.

OK, she's gone.

She's gone.

Um, can you tell me what that's all about?

I'll tell you inside.

Let's go.

Come on.

OK, that was close.

Not as close as she'd like.

That is not what's going on here.

Please.

She obviously has a thing for you.

Maybe this escape won't be what you expected.

They say when you're not looking,

that's when you find it.

Peg, you outdid yourself yet again.

Really?

Well, then maybe you won't leave so long in between meals.

I will try my best.

Oh, boy.

Your dad, he gets lost in his work.

Oh, don't I know it.

So, young man, any ideas on how to get our penguin

back to shore?

I've got a few percolating.

But look, I know I'm stating the obvious.

Out here, we aren't meant to interfere with nature.

You are not wrong.

But we had a hand in creating this situation.

And, well, that penguin colony has really

become like family to me.

How is old Juan, anyway?

He's great.

He is such a stud.

And he loves strutting his stuff in front of the ladies.

Really?

Is there any other characters?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's Isa.

And don't be chirping Isa, because she'll

give it right back to you.

It's true.

And then there's... there's Theo.

Theo is a rock star.

I mean, if I could teach this penguin how to play guitar,

I would. He's a maniac.

He's a total maniac.

He's the first one to jump off of any iceberg.

And then there's Lola and her mate, Hugo.

Their dance when they first met was incredible.

Ah, poor thing.

Well, on that note, I should get to work figuring out a plan.

Absolutely, yes.

Yeah, we all should call it.

It's been quite a long day.

Good night, everybody.

Hey, I've got that for you.

Oh, thank you.

Dad.

Is there something you're not telling me?

About Lola?

No, about Peg.

She is a great lady, Em, and she really tries

her best to keep me in line.

Well, good luck with that.

Yeah, right.

How are you?

I'm OK.

Draw any new stories lately?

No, just the ones in the courtroom.

How about outside the courtroom?

Anyone special in your life?

Not since Mark.

And you know how that ended.

So...

Yeah.

Don't feel guilty that your heart wasn't in it.

I know I shouldn't, but...

Good.

That's good.

Now, maybe I'm misreading the situation here.

But, uh, what's going on with you and this guy Andy?

Nothing.

What?

Dad, he's not even dating right now.

The guy really went out on a limb for you.

Well, yeah, but that's only because I

backed him into a corner.

Besides, even if he was dating, he and that Ingrid

would be a much better match.

And why would you say that?

Uh, they're both world travelers, engineer geeks.

He's in Antarctica.

She'll be here every other week.

And I'm not even supposed to be here right now.

That's just paperwork, Em.

OK, take your mother and I, for example.

She was a homebody.

And I'm Mr. Jet Off To Antarctica

To Work With Penguins.

But we made it work because we loved each other.

You'll find your penguin.

And when you do, don't let a little bit of water

get in the way...

or killer whales.

OK, Dad.

How's it going?

Hey.

OK.

It's, uh... it's a tricky problem.

You want to tell me about it?

Sure, yeah.

May I?

Oh, yeah.

Of course.

All right.

So basically, the majority of an iceberg is under water.

Yeah.

Right?

So it's shaped like a big ball.

Uh-huh.

And there's the water.

So if you tie something to the top and pull it,

it's going to rotate the entire thing

and dump the penguin into the water.

- Where the whales are. - Looking for a snack.

Oof.

What if you grab it from the center?

It wouldn't rotate.

Sure.

Center of mass.

But that is way under water, and I don't own a submarine.

Ah.

So what you're telling me is that you

basically need something to dive underwater

and attach a cable to it.

I do not mean us.

No, definitely not us.

But yeah, something like a small submersible

could do it if we could figure out a way to attach to the ice.

Something like this?

Yeah.

I mean, yeah, something exactly like that.

Oh, OK.

Did you draw these on the ship?

Just what I could see through the window.

Emma, they're incredible.

Thanks.

Seriously.

No, no, no, these should be in, like, a book.

It feels nice to be drawing outside the courtroom.

I actually want to draw Lola's story, but I'm afraid to start.

Why?

It's a love story.

Not all of those have happy endings.

She deserves one.

I'm kind of surprised you're not

taking Ingrid up on her offer to stay on the ship.

Nah.

I like slumming it out here with my fellow engineers.

Plus, I don't want to be spoiled.

Look.

It's incredible.

I could be biased, but down here,

we like to think the Southern Lights

have an edge on the Northern.

Yeah, I would have to agree.

What you were saying about deactivating your profile,

does that mean you're giving up on dating?

I never said that.

You did.

But why do you ask?

Just curious.

Right.

If you're thinking of changing your mind, Ingrid is interested.

Why... stop saying that.

OK, OK, OK.

No, I think Martin's a better match for her.

You think so?

Yeah, of course.

I mean, I think if she wasn't such a stickler for the rules,

she'd see that he's perfect for her.

Besides, he already does everything she asks.

That's true.

I guess if a stranded penguin hasn't given up hope,

maybe we shouldn't either.

Don't worry, Lola.

I know how hard he was to find.

We'll get you back to him.

OK, let's test this out.

Hey, can you hold on to this in case the remote doesn't respond?

Yeah.

OK.

All right.

All right.

Come on.

Is it working?

No, not really.

The drill doesn't want to stick in the ice.

Ugh.

Oh.

Oh, Andy.

I think we should go.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Whoa!

Looks like we have a visitor.

Yeah.

Oh.

Wow.

You know, it's not often you get a show like this.

Maybe they're showing off because they

want their portrait drawn.

No, I don't think this is going to work.

Excuse me.

Uh, do you know if your colleague Andy ever made

it back to the ship last night?

I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm just making a dummy check before we

pull anchors, so maybe.

Andy?

Andy?

I know what it needs to do.

I just gotta figure out how to make it work.

A little fuel for the brain?

Oh, I'm good. Thank you.

You know, when I'm stumped, Kat puts me through a workout.

Yeah, she even made me go mountain climbing once.

Now I made a decision, and I can work an ice pick.

Well, we don't exactly have time to climb Mount Vinson.

Right.

Or you could do a polar plunge in the spa.

It works for me every time.

Oh, there's a spa here?

Yeah.

Oh, best kept secret on base.

Dad, you shouldn't be doing that with your...

Em, I'm fine.

How exactly would a cold plunge help?

Dopamine.

Yeah, cold exposure releases a ton of it.

Right.

Oh, and trust me, afterwards, you are

going to feel laser focused.

I'm not exactly a spa guy.

I'll do it with you.

Really?

Yeah, of course.

OK.

All right, let's do it.

Great.

Where's the spa?

Ooh.

Uh... uh, not what I was envisioning.

What were you envisioning?

I don't know.

Like, a tub or a barrel or something.

No.

There wouldn't be any killer whales here, right?

No, not this close to shore.

Seals, maybe.

Maybe you can make a friend, adopt one, give it a pet name.

That's funny.

No, thank you.

No, no, no.

Wait, wait, wait.

Come on.

Emory Rivers would have done this.

- Ricky Rivera... - Yeah.

Definitely would have done the plunge.

So you're telling me Emma Rivera wouldn't

do this for the penguins?

For the penguins.

For the penguins.

Come on.

Come on.

OK.

OK, ready?

1, 2, 3!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Woo!

Oh, it's cold!

Oh, it's cold!

What the heck?

Martin, look at this.

I knew it.

There is that Emma looking for her father.

And I think I know how she was able to evade us.

You're still shivering.

Yeah.

Here.

Come here.

Thank you.

That better?

Yeah.

What about you?

Any clarity?

Yeah, I think so.

Heated drill bit.

What?

That's the key.

Oh, right.

It'll melt the ice, refreeze around it, lock it into place,

and...

You're brilliant.

Should we get to work?

Yeah, after we defrost.

Yeah.

Ta-da.

Penguin Rescue Unit.

2.0.

I guess maybe I could have been part of your team.

Easy there, Ericsson.

Come on.

Let's get this to your dad and put it into action.

Who is Ericsson?

The guy who invented the screw propeller...

John?

Nobody knows engineers.

Emma!

What's wrong?

Your dad went out to re-secure the tether on the ice floe, and

we just received a help signal.

What does that mean?

He deployed the mayday signal on his GPS.

He's here along the shore.

Can you send a helicopter?

Well, the emergency crew will, but they won't risk

it until that storm passes.

I don't care.

I'm going out there. Are you coming?

Of course. Let's go.

Be careful.

We will.

What are you doing?

Why are we stopping?

Because we aren't gonna outrun that storm.

What are you talking about?

It's barely snowing.

Oh, there's a reason those choppers won't fly.

Can you grab that hammer just outside to the right there?

Yeah.

Can you grab that side?

Oh.

Don't worry.

These storms may be powerful, but they blow

out as fast as they blow in.

Oh, I'm sure my dad's been through hundreds of these.

I just hope he's OK.

You know, when I was little, I used to be scared of storms.

My dad would tell stories about adventures

just like this to distract me, folklore

from all the places he's been.

My favorite was the one about the third man.

Those who dared track the frozen terrain

would get the sense they...

Weren't alone.

You know it?

Yeah.

I felt it, the presence, like there's

a third man walking with you.

I hope that he or she is with my dad right now.

He's going to be OK.

Dad!

- Hey. - What happened?

Are you OK?

Oh, I'm fine.

Actually, I've been better.

I'm so happy to see you guys.

You're hurt.

Oh, it's just my leg, honey.

One of the tethers snapped, and I went for it.

I went down like a sack of hammers.

Hey, don't worry.

Help's on the way.

I'm not worried about that.

This'll heal.

There's only one tether, and we're running out of time.

Lola is running out of time.

Hi.

- Is it broken? - It is.

Oh.

But he's in there arguing with the doctor.

He can argue all he wants.

He can't walk on that leg.

You're preaching to the choir.

Oh, by the way, I had them run some other tests on his heart.

And?

Strong as an ox.

Turns out, all that pain was just indigestion.

Oh.

Mr. Rivera, please.

Give me a week, Doc, and I'll be dancing the rumba.

But you shouldn't be walking on that.

- What are you doing? - Come on.

Let's go.

You need to listen to the doctor.

She's right.

Fine.

But it's up to you, Em.

Bring Lola back.

OK, we will.

We'll get her back.

Thank you.

Love you, Dad

I love you.

You worry about you now.

Aha.

Hello, Ricky.

To Antarctica without a permit?

No, but I'm guessing it's not, like,

a strike or a warning system.

I'm sorry.

I needed to make sure that my dad was OK.

I understand.

I really do.

But it's my job to ensure everyone's safety on board,

and I can't do that if I don't even know you were there.

I didn't think of it like that.

I just thought I'd get into trouble.

Well, now you and your partner are both in trouble.

No, no, Andy had nothing to do with this.

I appreciate you trying to protect him,

but I found one of your disguises in his room,

so don't tell me he didn't know.

You're right.

He did help me.

That's only because he has got one of the biggest

hearts I have ever encountered.

And trust me, those are really hard to find.

That's why I want to help this poor penguin

who is stranded from her mate.

Because amidst all the noise, she found him.

And since she's been gone, he hasn't been chatting

it up with other penguins.

He's been waiting for her, calling for her.

And that is something worth trying to save.

So, please, Ingrid.

If you have to, put me back on the ship.

But let Andy go.

He's one of the good ones.

Don't go anywhere.

I'll be right back.

Come on in.

Before we can proceed, there is a formal interview

process we need to get through.

What kind of interview?

Have a seat.

Do we really need to do this?

Oh, I'll be asking the questions here, Andy.

Oh, geez.

So how did you and the stowaway become acquainted?

Well, she wasn't exactly a stowaway because I

allowed her to get on board.

Oh, you'll have me believe that this is your fault?

100%.

If I hadn't been so preoccupied with making sure

that all the equipment got on board,

I would have asked more questions,

and she never would have gotten on the ship.

Hm.

Uh, well, then.

Um, I guess this will undoubtedly

be your last polar expedition on the Vega...

or probably any ship, for that matter.

No, no no.

Oh.

Oh.

Take this.

And call me if you need anything, anything at all.

Thank you.

Mm.

And listen, Rivera, we both know who is in that

very big heart of Andy's.

Hm.

OK, come on.

I'll escort you back to the ship.

We're running out of time.

What are you doing?

Stop!

Where do you think you're going?

Let them go.

I... I...

I don't understand.

They broke so many rules.

I know, but finding your penguin

is more important than the rules.

Of course, yeah.

Oh, do you mean Andy, or are we on a penguin mission now?

Both.

Everyone deserves to find their match, Martin.

I think we can bend the rules for a good cause.

Wow.

You're incredible.

You think I'm incredible?

So we drill into the ice, pull the floe back to shore,

reconnect Lola with Hugo, and it's mission complete.

Let's do it.

Hey, I just want you to know that no matter what happens,

I have zero regrets helping you.

You really are my knight in shining armor.

Ready?

Let's do this.

We only have one chance to get this right.

You grab the sub.

I'll get the winch.

OK, moment of truth.

Easy.

What is that?

Some of her pals are hanging out.

The tether.

I've got it.

Ah!

Nice save.

I guess that mountain climbing did pay off.

OK, we're nearing the floe.

So let's put this thing to work.

Let's see if it takes.

Looking good.

OK, let's get this floe back to shore.

Oh, come on.

Oh, come on.

It's working.

Yeah.

It's working.

Yeah, it's working.

It's working.

Oh, come on.

Come on.

It worked!

Yeah!

Here she goes.

Hugo's been keeping their egg warm while Lola

was stranded on the floe.

OK, yeah.

We did it.

We actually... yeah, we did it!

Oh, sorry.

It's probably my dad.

Yep, right.

Oh.

Hello?

It worked.

Lola's back with Hugo.

Now they can have their happily ever after.

OK.

I love you, Dad.

What'd he say?

He says we should celebrate.

To Lola and Hugo.

Yes.

And to Emma and Andy.

Oh.

To Ingrid and Martin for making it possible.

Oh, and long live the penguins.

Yeah!

Yes!

Long live the penguins!

All right, you two.

There she is.

No, no, no, no, no.

Don't get up.

Come here.

I love you, sweetheart.

I love you, Dad.

Careful.

Come here, darling.

Hey.

I'm gonna miss you.

I'll miss you.

Thank you for everything.

All right, you make sure that he gets on board.

Oh, boy.

OK, I'll try.

Good luck with that.

Mm?

Um, I just wanted to let you know I plan

on making my way to the ship, and I promise to stay there

until we arrive back home.

I know you will.

See you on board.

This place really does make you feel like you're

the only person on the planet.

That was the idea.

Huh.

Shame about that stowaway that follows you everywhere.

And snores like a seal.

But I will miss you.

You sure about that?

Yeah, of course I'm sure about that.

This has been the most fun and rewarding experience

I've had in, like, ever.

Me too.

I should go.

Yeah, yeah, unless you want a citation from Martin.

A citizen's arrest.

A citizen's arrest.

For the record, Andy, I'm gonna miss you.

Emma, I know this isn't what I wanted,

but it's like what you said.

When you're not looking, that's when it happens.

And I can't stop thinking about you, only you, all the time.

And I hope that's not just happening to me,

because that would be embarrass...

It is not just happening to you.

So how long does it take to get permission to be out here?

Your dad just called.

Doctors gave him the all-clear to come back here.

Just in time for the latest edition.

What do you think?

The perfect happy ending.

Now all he needs is a name for my story.

Of course.

Good luck out there, Ian.

Don't worry.

One day you'll find your match, too.

Let's get out of here. I'm freezing.

Come on.
