(music rises)

- Anaana! (whoosh)

Wake up, anaana! I made pancakes!

(bun giggles)

- (whispers) so close.

- ♪ okay, ba-ba-boom! ♪

- Wow!

Mmm!

These pancakes are

So... Yummy!

(bun squeals) yes!

- (neevee) good job, bun. - Good morning.

You want to try some really delicious pancakes?

(siaja sighs) - I gotta have my coffee first.

- (whispers) coward. (neevee laughs)

- You two look cozy. What is this,

Five nights in a row? - (bun) ahem! Six.

- Six? Like... Atausiq, marruuq,

Pingasut, tisamat, tallimat,

Pingasuujuqtut, six!?

- Ata. Make your coffee.

- Grandpa can always sleep over! - Aww, you know what?

For these pancakes, I'd do anything.

- Like choose ice cove as the site

For the new polar research station?

- Once again, not my decision.

But, you know, technically, I am an independent contractor,

So I could probably stay on no matter what town they choose.

- For how long? - Uh...

Well, that's something that we could figure out together.

- I mean, you could stick around. Why not?

- Really?

- Siaja! Stop staring.

(upbeat electronic music)

- I love it!

Looking good, (inuktut word)! - Thank you, siaja!

- Thanks, mikey. (speaking inuktut)

- (french accent) do you like my work?

- Hi. Uh... Are these yours?

- Oui. I'm always inspired by the north.

(speaking french)

- Siaja. (speaking french)

- Siaja... Your name, it make me think

Of a song I learned once.

Maybe I could play it for you sometime.

(siaja giggles)

- Olivier, these photographs are magnifique.

I see you've met my assistant. - Bonjour.

- Yes. - Olivier lives on the land

For half the year with his dog team,

But his images are timeless. - Merci, helen.

But you know, it's easy when everywhere you turn

There is such beauty. - (helen) oh! Ho-ho-ho.

Oh-ho-ho...

Wonderful. Um...

Can I talk to you in my office? - Yeah. Yeah.

- (helen) he's a little intense.

- Am I in trouble? - I'll say.

Because you and I are about to be spending

A lot more time together.

You're off probation, congratulations!

- Oh, my god, really? - Yay! Bubbles for us!

- Oh. - So...

Here is to a prosperous

And productive future together.

- Mmhm. Isn't it a little early to be drinking?

- Silly girl, champagne doesn't count!

Cheers. (siaja chuckles)

So, any plans on how to celebrate

This momentous occasion?

- Well, I just found out about it three seconds ago, so...

- But if you could spend time with somebody,

Is there anyone that you're interested in?

You're young, you're attractive, your skin's really cleared up.

There's gotta be someone you're crushing on.

Like, maybe someone who has a certain je ne sais quoi.

(rhythmic relaxed music)

- Uh... No, nope. Mm-mm.

- All right, well, as my mother always said,

Don't get too long in the tooth. More champagne?

- Thanks, but only white people

Can get away with drinking on the job.

- Oh, I love that you feel safe enough to make

White people jokes around me. (helen laughs and snorts)

- Uh, nalajoss, your mom wants you to go home.

Your lunch is getting cold. - Hey.

Do you think I'm getting long in the tooth?

- Yeah, we've been thinking of putting you down.

- What the hell are you talking about?

- Helen's asking about my love life.

- Gross. - That's fully illegal.

- Right? It's weird timing, though, because...

I've been, like, having these dreams lately.

(millie gasps) - sex dreams?

- That's your subconscious telling you to get boned.

- I don't know. It's probably too soon, right?

- You just got out of a not-awesome marriage.

You deserve to lose your second virginity.

- Oh, so much better than losing your first virginity,

Like, amateur to professional.

- I know everyone in this town. Where would I even start?

- Let's check out your options.

Here. - You already had this open?

- Nope. Okay.

Nope. Ew!

No. God, no.

- Ooh, eskimo fetish much? He'll be eager to please.

(millie laughs) - oh, he's married!

- She's married!

- (all three) ew! - Hard pass.

- Okay, well you're gonna have to move.

- What about kuuk?

- What about kuuk? - You're both recently single.

You're not related. You play chess with him.

- Yeah, because he's, like, the only worthy opponent.

It's kind of annoying, actually. - She's looking for something

Low-stakes, a one-and-done palate cleanser.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(gasps) - I know what we need to do.

(announcer speaking indistinctly)

- This feels a little predatory.

- You want something low stakes? Most of the people

On these flights are here for two weeks max.

- Yeah, just think of it like tinder, but like irl.

- Yeah.

All right, let the show begin.

- Okay, there's some potential.

(rhythmic upbeat music)

- (colin) ah... - (all three) mormons.

- The fight for native souls continues.

- What about that one? - Mm...

- Big skis. - Nah, polar explorer.

- Right, he'll be more interested in cold plunging

Than plunging siaja. (millie and colin laugh)

- Hey, buddy! Go home. We already explored everything.

(colin laughs) - well, we tried, right?

- Holy inuk goddess alert...

(rhythmic relaxed music)

She's coming over. Watch this.

- Oh, hi. - Hi!

(speaking inuktut)

(whispery throat singing)

- It seemed practised, right? - Yeah!

Like, rehearsed! - Like she knew how to do it.

(man speaking french)

- Two time in one day. I'm a lucky man.

- Oh, stop.

- I was hoping I would see you again.

I have some, uh, portrait of your beautiful culture.

I would love to show you them sometime.

- Yeah. Um, yeah. Yeah.

- Perfect. I'll make you dinner tomorrow night.

Then, you can tell me if you like what you see.

- Yeah. (hesitates)

You're not a vegetarian, are you?

(drumming)

- Pure carnivore.

- Oh, you are gonna get fu--

(truck engine roars)

(lively acapella music)

(birds chirping)

(neevee giggles)

- You remember this place?

- Oh, yeah. Isn't this where I gave you

Your first hand job? - What?! No!

(neevee laughs)

It's where we had our first kiss.

- Yeah, I know.

- Still so beautiful.

- Yeah.

- You know, I never really stopped thinking

About us, neevee. Is that crazy?

- Yeah. - Yeah, huh?

- I thought of you, too.

(alistair sighs) - so, uh...

Why did you end it?

I've been wracking my brain all these years,

Trying to figure it out.

- You were gonna leave anyway. - What?

- That's just how things work up here.

- I had no intention of leaving, neevee.

- Is that why you brought me up here?

To ambush me? - No! Come on.

No, I'm not--I'm not trying to attack you.

I'm not trying to ambush you. I just...

It's just... (alistair sighs)

Now that I know that I got a daughter--

- (loudly) siaja is my daughter!

She doesn't belong to any white man!

(neevee exhales sharply)

Just take me home.

(alistair sighs)

(engine stops) (alistair sighs)

- I'm not gonna be your punching bag, neevee.

How are we supposed to build a new relationship

If you keep shutting me out?

- Who said we're in a relationship?

(light pensive music)

- Hey. Freight finally came in.

- What is this shit? - Turmeric, chili, chai.

- What kind of fancy store do you think this is?

- Okay, what's going on and why are you taking it out

On the chai?

-Neevee!

(neevee sighs)

- Alistair.

He asked why we broke up all those years ago and...

I--I panicked.

(speaking inuktut)

- What are you afraid of?

- You know what? Enough of this crap.

From now on, there's only three valid teas!

Earl grey, sleepy time, and the one that makes you poop.

(funky rhythmic music)

- Hmm. Ooh, I know.

- Are you sure you want to do that?

- What? Oh, this?

- Oh, my god! You're so annoying!

- Oh. Well, you gotta keep your eyes on what's in front of you.

- Okay, spare me the lecture.

- Hey, so you coming to the bar tonight?

- Actually, um...

I'm hanging out with... A guy.

- Hmm. So you're-- you're dating now?

- I don't know, it's... It's just dinner.

- Hmm.

- If I tell you something, do you promise not to laugh?

- Mmhmm.

- I've never been on a date before.

- How is that even possible?

- Well, ting and I got together in high school.

- You never went on a date?

- Does prom count?

- Uh...

- My mom went on a lot of dates, but back then,

That meant downing a bottle of vodka with a rando

And crashing her skidoo, so... - Maybe don't do that.

- Any tips?

- Okay. Yeah. Um...

This is gonna be a little cheesy, okay, but just...

Just be you, you know?

You make things fun, and you're a little weird

And unpredictable, but, you know, you're smart,

And you care about people,

And you lit up elders night and baseball,

And if this guy doesn't see that, then he's a tool.

(soft rhythmic music)

- Thanks, man. - (softly) yeah.

- Also...

(kuuk clucks and sighs) ...Checkmate.

- You play so dirty. - "you gotta keep your eyes

On what's in front of you."

- Do I look like an idiot?

- Uh, where are you going? - To dinner. With a guy.

It's casual. He's a... Esky humper,

So, don't make a big deal out of it.

Do I look... Stupid?

- Well, show more skin. You look like a nun.

Right. I should have expected that.

Hey, you good?

- Yeah, why? - You seem... Quiet.

No, I'm fine.

Hey.

I think it's cool that you and alistair

Are giving each other another chance.

All right, well, wish me luck.

(soft upbeat music)

You took all of these? - Oui.

I'm very passionate about your inuit culture.

- I can see that. (olivier chuckles)

- And you, siaja,

What are you passionate about?

- Well, I have a super awesome,

Funny, smart kid that keeps me very busy.

I... Read.

I go to work. (siaja chuckles)

I... Guess I've just been figuring out what I want.

- Hmm.

I think I know what you want.

- What do you think I want?

(speaking inuktut)

- Oh. Um. Huh.

Mm! Yum.

I thought you might want to...

(fast-paced rhythmic music)

(inuit pop music playing over speakers)

(indistinct chatter)

-Hey there. Mind if I sit?

(man sighs)

- Can I buy you a drink?

- I'm not here for a drink.

(heavy breathing)

(dog whines and barks) - siku!

(speaking french) I have to go and let her out.

You, uh, make yourself comfortable, okay?

- Okay.

- Come here!

(heavy breathing)

(fast-paced rhythmic music)

(phone beeps)

- All right, get... Comfortable.

- (olivier) siaja! (door opens)

Siku is comfortable.

Are you comfortable? - Uh, yep!

So... Dang comfy!

(olivier chuckles)

- That's good, because I am not done with you yet.

- (high-pitched) oh... Wow!

- You are so beautiful. You know, you're like a cross

Between snow white and "pocohontas."

Snow-cohontas.

Why do you still have your clothes on?

- Great--great question. Uh... - Ah. Allow me?

- ♪ you ain't nothin' but a dog ♪

♪ player, ah get it ♪

♪ fraud, player, ah get it ♪

- Howl! - Uh...

- Oh-ho-ho. Yes.

And now bark. Bark!

- Woof! - Yes! Louder.

- Woof! Woof! (both growl)

(olivier chuckles) oh! Heh...

Oh, yes. And now,

My little doggie, mush!

(olivier grunting) come on, mush!

- Awooo!

Awooo! Aw-awooo!

(laughs) come on, mush!

- Can we--can we just, uh... - You want to mush me?

- No! No, I can't do this.

I can't lose my second virginity this way.

- Second virginity? - I--I gotta go.

There's somewhere else I should be.

This was very interesting, though. Thank you.

(speaking french)

Just one more. - Huh?

- Off I go.

- Whoa. - Yeah.

I was with the french musher,

And I felt like I was being colonized.

But turns out he's more into dogs than women.

And then I realized something.

I realized I was kissing the wrong person.

- My girlfriend's here.

- Girlfriend? - She's not my real girlfriend.

She's my something. Alexis is here.

I don't know, she flew in, she just went to the bathroom,

And here she comes right now. Hey, this is my friend.

- Oh, wow, siaja! We were hoping you'd come.

It's honestly such a pleasure to meet you.

- Alexis just, uh, flew in to surprise me.

- Surprise! - (softly) yeah...

Not to be a baby, but is it always this cold here?

- Pretty much. - A little hot in here.

- Well, siaja, kuuk has told me so much about you.

I'm so glad that he has someone to play chess with.

Honestly, kuuk and I left things on such a strange note.

I felt sick about it.

But I was visiting tibet in my work as an ambassador.

- You're an ambassador? - Oh, just a brand ambassador.

I'm not, like, negotiating with nato.

Sorry, did someone open a window?

Anyway, so I'm in tibet at this buddhist tea ceremony

And I suddenly realized that life is

So profoundly short.

- (slowly) yeah.

- And when you love someone,

You have to tell them right away.

You know what I mean? - Yeah, yeah.

I--I--definitely, heh, I...

I, um... I think I ate some bad meat.

- Oh, no! - Are you okay?

- There you are! Siaja, I just got a call about ting.

He didn't come back from hunting last night.

His mom just... Reported him missing.

(muffled speaking)

- (alexis) like, the chief?

- (kuuk) no, her husband. Sort of husband.

(rythmic music)
