WOO! [TRUCK HONKS]

NARRATOR: ON THE SEASON FINALE OF "ICE ROAD TRUCKERS"...

WHOA.

NARRATOR: IT'S BEEN ONE FOR THE AGES.

OH MY GOSH!

ANYBODY THAT'S GOT ANY IDEAS OF DOING THIS FOR A [BLEEP] JOB,

MIGHT WANT TO GET THEMSELVES CHECKED OUT.

[TRUCK HONKS]

NARRATOR: THE DRIVERS HAVE FACED IT ALL.

THAT'S WHAT I CALL TRUCKIN'.

COME ON, BOTH OF YOU, I'LL SMOKE BOTH OF YOU [BLEEP].

WHOA! [BLEEP]

NARRATOR: FROM THE STORM OF THE CENTURY...

TODD: THESE ARE THE MOST EXTREME CONDITIONS

THAT I HAVE EVER TRAVELLED ON.

NARRATOR: TO THE LONGEST WINTER ROAD IN THE WORLD.

THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS FOR THE LONGEST WINTER ROAD.

NARRATOR: NOW... HUGH: YEEHAW!

ART: LAST ONE, BUDDY.

NARRATOR: WITH THE LOAD COUNT ON THE LINE.

WE'RE GONNA COME OUT OF THIS SMILING PRETTY GOOD HERE.

MARK: WE'RE BIGGER, AND STRONGER. GOOD LUCK.

ALEX: IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, AMEN.

NARRATOR: WHO WILL THRIVE UNDER THE PRESSURE?

TODD: TELL YOU WHAT, THIS [BLEEP] ROAD WILL MAKE YOU GROW HAIR ON YOUR CHEST.

[BLEEP]

NARRATOR: AND WHO...

DARRELL: HANG ON!

NARRATOR: WILL CRACK?

[ICE CRACKING] LISA: AH!

NARRATOR: IN THE QUEST TO WIN THE LOAD COUNT...

[TRAILER CLANKS]

THE POLAR CONVOY OF LISA KELLY...

LISA: HERE'S THE START OF A WHO KNOWS WHAT JOURNEY, HUH?

NARRATOR: TODD DEWEY...

THIS IS GONNA BE [BLEEP] AWESOME.

THIS IS, THIS IS SPECTACULAR!

NARRATOR: AND ART BURKE...

GONNA DO SOME ASS-KICKIN' THIS TIME.

GUINNESS' BOOK OF RECORDS THIS TIME, BUDDY, HOLY [BLEEP], EH?

NARRATOR: HEADED OUT ONTO THE WORLD'S LONGEST WINTER ROAD.

[TRUCK CLANGS] HA HA HA!

ART: THIS ROAD IS AN AWFUL MESS.

I'VE NEVER SEEN THE LIKE, BOY.

TODD: HANG THE [BLEEP] ON!

NARRATOR: BUT THEY WEREN'T ALONE ON THE TRAIL.

[BLEEP] ROLLER COASTER HILL RIGHT HERE.

DARRELL: ALL THE WAY.

NARRATOR: DARRELL WARD AND SON RENO,

ALSO BATTLED THE LEGENDARY ROAD.

GUYS, I GOT SOMEBODY RIGHT ON MY ASS BACK HERE.

DARRELL? [LAUGHS]

YEAH. ONLY TAKING RENO PART WAYS,

HE'S GOING TO DROP AT FORT SEVERN,

AND I'M GONNA HEAD ON THE REST OF THE WAY TO PEAWANUCK.

RIGHT ON, WHERE'S THAT?

DARRELL: ABOUT AS FAR AS YOU CAN DRIVE ON THIS PART OF THE PLANET.

NARRATOR: AFTER AN EPIC JOURNEY...

ART: LAST ONE, BUDDY.

LAST ONE. HA HA HA!

NARRATOR: THE DELIVERY OF BUILDING SUPPLIES

PUT POLAR AT TOP OF THE LOAD COUNT.

WELL, WE'RE [BLEEP] HEADIN' FOR WINNIPEG. YAHOO!

NARRATOR: NOW, WHILE THE TEAM PREPS FOR THE LONG TRIP HOME,

THE MONTANA LEGEND STILL HAS 140 MILES LEFT TO GO.

GOING ALONE ON THE REMOTE TRAIL COULD BE A DEATH WISH.

LISA: WHAT'S UP, DARRELL? DARRELL: HEY LISA!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

DARRELL: OH YOU KNOW, I THINK I'M ABOUT READY TO HEAD OUT.

NARRATOR: SO HE'S LOOKING FOR SOME BACK UP.

I WAS KIND OF HOPING YOU'D GO ON THE REST OF THE WAY WITH ME.

TO PEAWANUCK?

YEAH.

SHE'S GOT A FRONT END LOADER, SHE'S GOT A SNOWMOBILE,

AND SHE'S GOT TWO SLIP TANKS FULL OF FUEL.

HOW FAR IS IT TO PEAWANUCK FROM HERE?

DARRELL: 168. LISA: 168?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'VE GOT AHEAD OF ME.

NO, I FOLLOW YOU.

I KNOW THESE ROADS ARE GONNA FALL APART,

I DON'T WANT TO GET HUNG UP OUT THERE BY MYSELF.

LIKE, HE'S NOT THE ENEMY, WE'RE ALL TRUCK DRIVERS.

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT,

I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE SHIRKING RESPONSIBILITY.

DARRELL: RIGHT. LISA: THAT'S IT.

I WOULDN'T LEAVE YOU HERE, LISA.

DARRELL: I WOULD FOLLOW YOU TO THE END OF THE ROAD

TO MAKE SURE YOU MADE IT BACK ALL RIGHT.

WHILE I, THE FEELING IS MUTUAL,

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M NOT SHIRKING MY RESPONSIBILITY

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GO - WALK INTO POLAR

AND HAVE MARK FIRE ME, OR SOMETHING.

WELL, IT'S UP TO YOU, LISA, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANNA DO,

BUT I COULD SURE USE THE SUPPORT.

LISA: IT'S NOT NECESSARILY JUST A TRUCKER CODE,

WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO LIFE AND DEATH,

THEY'RE A HUMAN BEING AND YOU RESPECT THEM LIKE THAT.

I THINK IT MIGHT BE AMAZING BECAUSE IT'S THE LONGEST ROAD.

I WOULD LOVE TO GO SAY I DID THIS WHOLE ROAD,

IN FACT WHEN I FOUND OUT I WAS ONLY COMING THIS FAR,

I WAS ACTUALLY A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED.

DARRELL: YEAH.

SO YOU KNOW, I NEED TO HEAD OUT OF HERE PRETTY QUICK THOUGH

IF I'M GONNA GET ON THE ROAD TODAY.

LISA, WOULD YOU GO TO THE END OF THE ROAD WITH ME?

AW, DARRELL.

I'VE NEVER HAD A MAN ON HIS KNEE IN FRONT OF ME BEFORE.

DARRELL, I'LL GO TO THE END OF THE ROAD WITH YOU.

DARRELL: THANK YOU, LISA.

[LISA LAUGHS]

SO I'M GONNA RUN WITH DARRELL

BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA LEAVE MY FRIEND,

AND A TRUCKER IN GENERAL, BEHIND.

I MEAN, THAT'S JUST NOT WHAT WE DO OUT HERE.

NARRATOR: RISKING HER JOB AT POLAR,

LISA AGREES TO CONVOY WITH DARRELL

ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE ROAD.

SAFETY IN NUMBERS.

AND DARRELL- DARRELL'S MY FRIEND, TO BOOT,

SO I'M NOT LEAVING HIM OUT THERE.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S HIT THE ROAD.

TODD: I DON'T AGREE WITH IT BECAUSE HE'S NOT TEAM POLAR,

HE QUIT WORKING FOR US.

HE'S GOT HIS OWN COMPANY NOW,

HE SHOULD HAVE HIS OWN SUPPORT VEHICLE.

BOTTOM LINE, NO IF AND ANDS.

HERE WE GO, HEADING OFF.

TODD: IF SHE GETS FIRED, THAT'S ON HER.

DARRELL: ALL RIGHT.

RENO: ALL RIGHT. BE CAREFUL.

DARRELL: YEAH, I WILL. LOVE YOU.

NARRATOR: RENO WILL JOIN TODD AND ART FOR THE LONG TRIP BACK.

WE SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO,

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING STOPPING US

FROM HITTING THE END OF THE ROAD.

OH, THIS IS REALLY COOL THAT WE GET TO DO THIS.

NARRATOR: WHILE LISA AND THE MONTANA LEGEND

WILL PUSH ANOTHER 140 MILES INTO THE FROZEN TUNDRA.

LISA: UNCHARTED TERRITORY. OFF TO NEVERLAND.

NARRATOR: THREE HOURS LATER, THE CONVOY IS KNEE DEEP INTO IT.

AND WHILE THE ROAD WAS BAD GOING UP...

TODD: THAT SUPPORT VEHICLE IS HERE FOR US.

MARK SAYS THE ONLY REASON THAT LISA'S EVEN GOING ON THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU GUYS

IS FOR A SUPPORT VEHICLE.

NARRATOR: IT'S EVEN WORSE ON THE RIDE HOME.

SO IF SOMETHING HAPPENS,

YOU GUYS HAVE WHATEVER YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE.

HUH! [BLEEP], I FELT THAT ONE.

TODD: WE'RE PRESSURED FOR TIME. THE ROAD'S ARE THAWING,

WATER'S STARTING TO RUN OVER THE ROADS.

HOLY [BLEEP], WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE WATER,

LOTS OF WATER HERE, BOY, I BETTER GRAB ANOTHER GEAR.

YOU KNOW LITTLE STREAMS AND STUFF

THAT DO RUN OVER THE ROADS ARE COMPLETELY BREAKING THROUGH,

AND THE WATER'S RUNNING OVER.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW YOU ONLY HAVE A MATTER OF A CERTAIN A FEW DAYS

TO GET YOUR LOAD IN THERE, AND GET IT DUMPED.

AND GET OUT OF THERE BEFORE YOU LOSE YOUR TRUCK INTO A SWAMP,

OR YOU GET STUCK, OR YOU KNOW, YOU PUT YOUR LIFE IN JEOPARDY,

OR LET ALONE THE PEOPLE IN YOUR CONVOY'S WITH YOU,

YOU KNOW, THEIR LIFE'S IN JEOPARDY JUST AS WELL.

WHOA!

BOY IT IS SLIPPERY OUT.

WAY DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE THAN COMING IN.

NARRATOR: AT THE BACK OF THE PACK,

THE ROOKIE IS DOING HIS BEST TO KEEP PACE.

OW. [BLEEP] ME.

RENO: THESE TWO GUYS ARE BOOKIN' IT OUT HERE.

I'M [BLEEP] HAULIN' ASS

AND I'M NOT KEEPIN' UP WITH THEM TOO WELL, MAN.

I GOTTA REALLY CONCENTRATE IF I'M GONNA KEEP UP WITH THEM.

SO UH... THEY LIKE TO BOOK-IT!

[BLEEP] SLICK AS [BLEEP] OUT HERE.

THEY LIKE TO HAUL-ASS AND THEY KEEP IT OUT OF THE DITCH,

SO GOOD FOR THEM.

NARRATOR: WHILE THE CONVOY FACES ANOTHER 780 MILES...

360 MILES TO THE WEST...

THE COMPETITION AIN'T GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.

I'M OFF TO TADOULE LAKE.

NARRATOR: VP'S ALEX DEBOGORSKI IS BATTLING THE MELTING ROADS TOO.

ALEX: I'M TAKING SOME STUFF FOR THE WATER AND SEWER PLANTS

TO SEE WHAT AWAITS US ON THAT ROUGH ROAD GOING TO TADOULE.

NARRATOR: BUT THE VETERAN'S CHALLENGE AHEAD IS A GIANT ONE.

AT 880 MILES,

THE ROAD TO TADOULE LAKE IS ONE OF THE LONGEST IN MANITOBA.

AND NOW...

ALEX: LOOKS LIKE SPRING ALREADY DOWN THERE.

LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE AN ICE CROSSING HERE.

NARRATOR: THE OLD PRO'S GOTTA TANGLE WITH ONE OF THE LAST OPEN ICE CROSSINGS

IN ALL OF MANITOBA.

HASN'T BEEN... HASN'T BEEN VERY WELL LOOKED AFTER.

THERE IS NO SIGN WITH THE WEIGHT ON IT.

NARRATOR: WITH NO WEIGHT LIMIT SIGN,

IT'S A GUESSING GAME IF THE RAPIDLY MELTING ICE

CAN SUPPORT THE 28 TONNE LOAD.

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.

I GUESS WE'RE GOING DOWN THIS ROAD AND DRIVE THROUGH SNOW.

SEATBELT OFF, STEERING WHEEL TILTED UP,

GOT LOTS OF ROOM.

IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT, AMEN.

ALL GLORY TO YOU, GOD,

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR BLESSINGS AND HELP.

ALEX: IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT, AMEN.

NARRATOR: ALEX DEBOGORSKI'S TEMPTING FATE.

HOLD ON!

[ICE CRACKING]

♪♪♪

MY FIRST CONCERN IS THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF THE ICE.

BUT COMING ON TO THE ICE, THERE WAS NO SIGN.

NARRATOR: WITH NO WEIGHT LIMIT SIGN,

THE VETERAN'S CHOSEN TO RISK IT ALL ON THE MELTING ICE.

I'M A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT ALL THE SNOW ON THE ICE.

I REALLY DON'T WANNA GET OUT HERE

AND THERE'S ALL THIS SNOW AND IT HASN'T BEEN PLOUGHED,

AND I END UP GETTING STUCK.

'CAUSE REALLY NOT VERY GOOD TO HAVE A TRUCK SITTING ON THE ICE.

[ICE CRACKING]

I HAVE A FRIEND OF MINE,

HIS TRUCK AND TRAILER AND LOADER

ARE SITTING ON THE BOTTOM OF GREAT SLAVE LAKE RIGHT NOW.

STILL THERE.

8-YEARS-AGO, IN THE SPRING,

HE WAS BRINGING AN EXCAVATOR OUT TO A DIAMOND CAMP

OUT ON GREAT SLAVE LAKE.

ONCE HE GOT OUT ON THE LAKE,

CRACKS STARTED APPEARING ALL OVER THE PLACE,

AND HE SAYS THE WATER WAS SHOOTING THROUGH THE CRACKS.

HE SAID WATER WAS SHOOTING UP LIKE A FOOT, TWO FEET,

LIKE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

HE OPENED THE DOOR WITH HIS LEFT HAND,

HE GRABBED HIS LUNCH BUCKET IN HIS RIGHT HAND,

AND HE JUMPED OUT OF THE TRUCK AND HE RAN.

HE RAN ABOUT 50 FEET, THEN HE LOOKED OVER HIS SHOULDER

AND ALL HE COULD SEE WAS THE WHOLE TRUCK, TRAILER, AND EXCAVATOR,

THE WHOLE BIG CHUNK OF ICE JUST TILTED UP LIKE THAT.

AND IT ALL DISAPPEARED AND THE BIG CHUNK OF ICE

JUST CAME BACK DOWN AGAIN.

AND HE SAYS, YOU COULD WALK RIGHT BACK ON TOP,

BUT EVERYTHING WAS GONE.

NARRATOR: ALEX NEARS THE END OF THE FROZEN LAKE...

ALEX: HOPEFULLY I'LL MAKE UP THIS LITTLE HILL

WHEN I COME OFF THE ICE...

WITHOUT SPINNING OUT, I'LL BE HOME FREE.

NARRATOR: BUT HE'LL NEED TO GAIN SPEED

TO SCALE THE HILL AT THE CROSSING'S EDGE.

OKAY, LET'S GIVE 'ER NOW.

♪♪♪

♪♪♪

GOOD, WE GOT 'ER. COUPLE LITTLE SPINS THERE.

NARRATOR: THE OLD PRO'S CONQUERED THE CROSSING.

NO PROBLEM.

NARRATOR: BUT HE'S STILL GOT PLENTY OF GROUND TO COVER

BEFORE THIS ONE IS ON THE BOOKS.

LET'S GO! IT'S TIME TO GET THIS LOAD DELIVERED.

NARRATOR: 520 MILES TO THE SOUTHEAST...

TWO TRUCKERS ARE HEADING INTO THE UNKNOWN.

LISA: THE RACE TO THE END OF THE WORLD.

YEAH. THANKS FOR COMING WITH ME.

NARRATOR: DARRELL WARD...

OH THIS IS REALLY COOL THAT WE GET TO DO THIS.

NARRATOR: AND LISA KELLY, ARE PUSHING THE EXTRA 140 MILES

TO THE REMOTE TOWN OF PEAWANUCK

AT THE END OF THE WORLD'S LONGEST WINTER ROAD.

I WOULD MUCH RATHER BE UP HERE ON MELTING ICE,

GOING TO THE END OF THE ROAD ON THE LONGEST WINTER ROAD,

THAN LOUNGING AROUND ON THE BEACH IN HAWAII.

THAT'D BE NICE AFTER, BUT NOT INSTEAD OF.

OH [BLEEP]!

TWO MONTHS OF RIDING IN THIS [BLEEP] WILL WEAR YOU DOWN.

♪♪♪

DARRELL: WE ARE RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF HUDSON BAY RIGHT NOW, LISA.

LISA: OH REALLY?

DARRELL: RIGHT THERE. THE ARROW MARKS MY SPOT.

MELTS AND FREEZES, MELTS AND FREEZES.

ONE OF THESE DAYS, IT'S NOT GONNA REFREEZE.

THEN THIS ROAD IS GONNA BE GONE.

LISA: IT'S PRETTY DESOLATE OUT HERE, THAT'S FOR SURE.

I FEEL LIKE I'M FAR AWAY FROM ANYTHING.

DARRELL: YEAH, YOU ARE.

LISA: DARRELL IS CONCERNED THAT HE WON'T MAKE IT

BECAUSE THE ROADS ARE MELTING AND IT'S A REALLY LONG ROAD,

AND HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT HE'LL MAKE IT BACK.

DARRELL: BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE SOUTH END OF THIS ROAD,

I BET YOU THINGS ARE LOOKING A LITTLE SKETCHY.

YOU THINK SO?

SMASHED MY LANDING GEAR I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES.

KIND OF A LITTLE UGLIER THAN WHAT THEY'VE BEEN, THAT'S FOR SURE.

♪♪♪

HO!

[TRUCK RATTLES]

HO!

OH, DARRELL'S BOUNCING.

LISA: I THINK I'VE BOTTOMED OUT MORE ON THIS ROAD THAN ANY OTHER ROAD.

OH I KNOW, I HAVE TOO.

LONGEST, BUMPIEST JOURNEY ON CREATION.

I NEVER EXPECTED THIS ROAD TO BE LIKE THIS.

INCREDIBLE.

OH!

SLOW DOWN!

NARRATOR: DEEP IN THE FROZEN WILDERNESS...

DARRELL: I NEVER EXPECTED THE ROAD TO BE LIKE THIS.

INCREDIBLE.

NARRATOR: DARRELL AND LISA'S RECORD RUN

MIGHT HAVE HIT THE END OF THE ROAD.

SLOW DOWN! [CRASHING]

PULL OVER!

YEAH, YOUR TOOL BOX JUST LANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

WHAT TOOL BOX?

DARRELL: THE ONE THAT WAS ON YOUR TRAILER AT ONE TIME.

NARRATOR: THE ROUGH ROADS HAVE SENT LISA'S TOOL BOX

FLYING OFF THE TRAILER.

DARRELL: ALL RIGHT.

LISA: AS LONG AS EVERYTHING'S STILL ON.

DARRELL: WE'LL PUT THIS IN THE BACK WITH MY GROCERIES?

LISA: [LAUGHS]

OH, THE WHOLE MOUNTING CAME OFF, HUH?

YEAH, THROW IT IN YOUR TRAILER, I GUESS,

BECAUSE I THINK MARK GOT MAD AT ME LAST TIME

I LEFT A TOOL BOX ON THE ROAD. DARRELL: WHAT?

DARRELL: RIGHT ON.

LISA: THERE.

LISA: COOL. DARRELL: ALL RIGHT. COOL.

LISA: ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT. DARRELL: ANOTHER PIECE FOR MEMORIES.

[LAUGHING]

NARRATOR: WITH THE EMPTY TOOL BOX SAFELY OFF THE ROAD...

LISA: ALL RIGHT, WELL LET'S ROLL OUT, THEN.

NARRATOR: THE TEAM HEADS BACK TOWARDS NO-MAN'S-LAND.

DARRELL: SO WE'VE ONLY GOT ABOUT 40 KILOMETRES TO GO, HUH?

NARRATOR: AS DAY TURNS TO NIGHT...

WE'RE GETTING CLOSE.

NARRATOR: DARRELL AND LISA PUSH THROUGH THE FINAL STRETCH,

AND REACH THEIR DESTINATION.

JUST COMING IN TO PEAWANUCK, HERE.

DARRELL: I GUESS WE'VE TRAVELLED JUST ABOUT AS FAR AS YOU CAN GO ON A WINTER ROAD.

LISA: WOO-HOO!

OH YEAH.

NARRATOR: WITH THE FOOD SUPPLY DELIVERED...

LISA: THANK YOU.

NARRATOR: THE ENTIRE TOWN COMES OUT TO SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION.

WITH HELP FROM LISA,

DARRELL NOTCHES THE BIGGEST HAUL YET

FOR HIS UPSTART COMPANY,

AND THE DECISION TO LEAVE POLAR IS PAYING OFF.

NARRATOR: 320 MILES TO THE WEST...

[YAWNS]

NARRATOR: AFTER 12 HOURS OF BONE-CRUSHING TERRAIN...

THE CONVOY IS STILL DRIVING DEEP INTO THE NIGHT.

RENO: THE ROAD'S MELTING, GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY.

I'M JUST OVER IT, TIRED, EXHAUSTED.

DON'T WANT TO BE ON THIS ICE ROAD ANYMORE.

[TRUCK ENGINE HUMS]

DOES IT FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT EVER GONNA END RIGHT NOW?

HOLY [BLEEP] [BLEEP] [BLEEP]!

OH! HANG ON, BUDDY.

NEVER A DULL [BLEEP] MOMENT.

TELL YOU WHAT, THIS [BLEEP] ROAD WILL MAKE YOU GROW HAIR ON YOUR CHEST.

TODD: HOW YOU DOIN' BACK THERE, RENO?

FEELS LIKE THESE ARE GONNA BE THE LONGEST KILOMETRES OF MY LIFE, RIGHT HERE.

TODD: YEAH, THIS [BLEEP] ROAD IS BAD, EH?

AIN'T GONNA BE ABLE TO GO FAST THROUGH HERE.

SOUNDS GOOD.

NARRATOR: THE CONVOY CALLS IT A NIGHT.

ART: I'M EXHAUSTED, BOUNCED THE [BLEEP] [BLEEP] OUT OF MYSELF

ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE.

RENO: WHAT'S THE PLAN?

GOOD NIGHT.

NARRATOR: AS THE SUN RISES ON WHAT COULD BE

THE LAST DAY OF ICE ROAD SEASON...

ALEX: HERE WE ARE. THERE'S THE TOWN.

NARRATOR: ALEX DEBOGORSKI ARRIVES AT THE VILLAGE OF TADOULE LAKE.

ALEX: HOW'S IT GOIN', SIR? MAN: GOOD. YOU?

ALEX: NOT BAD, NOT BAD.

NARRATOR: DESPITE THE HARSH CONDITIONS...

MAKES ME FEEL GOOD THAT THE FREIGHT GOT HERE IN ONE PIECE

OVER ROUGH ROAD, EH?

NARRATOR: THE VETERAN COMES THROUGH FOR VP

AND KEEPS THEM IN THE GAME.

THE BILL'S SIGNED, MAYBE TELL ONE OR TWO JOKES,

AND I'LL BE ON THE ROAD.

NARRATOR: NOW, WITH THE ROAD DISAPPEARING BY THE HOUR...

ALEX: AND I'M ON MY WAY TO WINNIPEG.

NARRATOR: HE'S GOTTA SURVIVE THE 880 MILE TRIP BACK.

BUT AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO RISE...

ALEX: IT'S WARMER HERE THAN I EXPECTED IT WOULD BE.

NARRATOR: THE ROAD BACK TO WINNIPEG...

WE'RE RIGHT AROUND FREEZING MARK.

NARRATOR: BECOMES NEARLY UN-DRIVEABLE.

ALEX: THE WINTER ROAD IS GONNA BE SHUTTING DOWN SOON.

LOOK AT THE WATER DOWN THERE, JUST RIPPLING.

OBVIOUSLY SPRING'S COMING. THIS IS HOW SPRING STARTS.

NARRATOR: LAST SEASON, ON ALEX'S FINAL TRIP,

THE MELTING ROADS PROVED TOO MUCH.

[SKIDS, CRASHING]

HANG ON.

NARRATOR: NOW...

THERE'S NO BREEZE, AND THAT SUN'S HEADING DIRECTLY ON IT,

IT'S MELTING ALREADY.

NARRATOR: HE'S LOOKING FOR A SHOT AT REDEMPTION

AND TO PROVE HE'S STILL GOT WHAT IT TAKES.

ALEX: A RIP AND A ROAR. [LAUGHS]

TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN, I'LL TELL YA.

WHOA.

WHOA!

NG WINTER ROADS...

ALEX: A RIP AND A ROAR. [LAUGHS]

ALEX: YEAH, LET'S SEE IF I CAN FINISH THIS SEASON

WITHOUT WRECKING A TRUCK.

NARRATOR: AS NIGHT FALLS...

BACK IN WINNIPEG.

LOOKS LIKE WE'RE FINALLY AT THE END OF THIS EPIC JOURNEY.

OH OH OH...I CAN HARDLY [BLEEP] WAIT, BUDDY.

NARRATOR: AND SEVEN DAYS ON THE ROAD...

TODD, ART, AND RENO.

[TRUCK HONKING]

ARE FINALLY BACK HOME.

IT WAS PRETTY EPIC, BUT [BLEEP] WE MADE GOOD TIME.

YEAH, WE MADE SOME REALLY GOOD TIME.

LIKE I WAS TELLING YOU EARLIER,

YOU DID A GREAT JOB DRIVING THAT TRUCK.

IF YOUR OLD MAN WAS HERE,

I'M SURE HE'D BE PRETTY HAPPY WITH YOU, TOO.

IT WAS A PLEASURE RUNNIN' WITH YA, BUDDY.

GLAD I GOT TO MEET YA, AND RUN WITH YA.

YOU DID WELL, BUDDY, FOR A NEW GUY.

YOU GUYS WERE GOOD, YOU KEPT ME UP, KEPT ME LAUGHING,

AND YOU KNOW, LEARNED SOME STUFF ALONG THE WAY.

RIGHT ON, BUDDY.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, GUYS,

BUT I'M READY TO PARK THESE TRUCKS AND GO HOME.

NARRATOR: AS RENO HEADS TO HIS DAD'S SHOP...

WE'LL SEE YA WHEN WE SEE YA. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

NARRATOR: ART AND TODD PULL INTO THE POLAR YARD.

I'M SO READY TO TURN THE KEY OFF ON THIS THING AND BE DONE.

IT'S BEEN A LONG SEASON, EH?

SHE'S ALL OVER BUT THE [BLEEP] CRYING.

YEAH HEY HEY HEY HEY!

I HAVEN'T BEEN THIS [BLEEP] HAPPY

SINCE I BECAME LEGALLY OLD ENOUGH TO [BLEEP] DRINK.

TODD: THAT'S IT, BABY.

DIDN'T EVER SEEM LIKE WE WERE EVER GONNA MAKE IT BACK HERE,

ME AND ART, AND WE MADE IT.

EVEN THOUGH I'M COMPLETELY TIRED,

AND COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED,

I WILL BE SEEING MY FAMILY BY THE END OF THE WEEK,

AND WHAT BETTER MOOD COULD THAT PUT A GUY IN.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

NARRATOR: WHILE THREE DRIVERS ARE BACK SAFELY...

DARRELL: I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH IT'S MELTED SINCE WE WENT IN.

NARRATOR: DARRELL WARD AND LISA KELLY...

OH YEAH.

NARRATOR: ARE STILL HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM WINNIPEG,

FIGHTING THE RUGGED TRAIL ON THE WORLD'S LONGEST WINTER ROAD.

THE FARTHER SOUTH YOU GO, THE WARMER IT'S GETTING',

THE SLICKER THE ROADS ARE GETTING'.

IT LOOKS WET TO ME. IF NOT, IT'S FRESH OVERFLOW.

YEAH, LET'S GO SEE WHAT WE GOT.

THAT LOOKS PRETTY SKETCHY, LISA.

THERE'S A LOT OF WATER HERE. I DON'T KNOW.

LISA: IT'S WATER, AND SLUSH, AND ICE.

DARRELL: HOLY CRAP.

THIS IS KIND OF A LONG LAKE.

DARRELL: I THINK IT'S A RIVER.

LISA: IS IT A RIVER? OH, IT IS A RIVER.

OH, THAT MAKES IT KIND OF A LITTLE BIT MORE SKETCHY.

DARRELL: YEAH, WE'VE GOT CURRENT.

YEAH, BECAUSE THE CURRENT IS UNDERNEATH.

NARRATOR: WARMING TEMPERATURES HAVE CAUSED THE CURRENT UNDER THE ICE TO PICK UP,

AND THE STRONGER THE CURRENT GETS,

THE TOUGHER IT IS FOR THE ICE TO STAY TOGETHER WITHOUT FRACTURING,

AND ULTIMATELY COLLAPSING.

DARRELL: ALL THIS [BLEEP] IS STARTING TO MELT

AND IT'S STARTING TO RAISE THE WATER IN THESE RIVERS.

LISA: YOU THINK IT'S GONNA BE THICK ENOUGH?

DARRELL: WE DON'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE.

LISA: YEAH. DARRELL: I THINK WE JUST RUN FOR IT.

DARRELL: LET'S DO IT.

WITHOUT PUTTING THE ENTIRE RIG THROUGH THE ICE.

LISA: WHAT'S THE PLAN, NOW?

PUT THE RAMPS UP AND PUSH? OR WHAT?

I GOT A PULL PIN ON THE FRONT.

DO YOU WANT TO GO IN FRONT, OR DO YOU WANT TO PUSH ME OUT

AND I'LL GO IN AND THEN YOU FOLLOW IN THE LOADER?

DARRELL: OKAY. YEAH, LET'S JUST FLOP THE RAMPS OVER.

HOW DO WE ALWAYS GET IN THIS [BLEEP], LISA?

LISA: BECAUSE WE'RE CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION.

DARRELL: I GUESS SO, HUH?

LISA: THERE'S NO HESITATION TO THE ANSWER TO THAT.

DARRELL: I BRING YOU THIS-

LISA: EVERYTHING'S FINE UNTIL YOU COME ALONG, DARRELL.

DARRELL: THAT'S BECAUSE DARRELL SAID, LISA, LET'S GO TO THE LONGEST-

LISA: GO RUN TOGETHER!

AND WE'LL JUST LOAD THIS [BLEEP] UP AND KEEP GOING.

I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE THIS MUCH DIFFERENT.

LISA: I GUESS THAT WAS JUST ONE TIME TOO MANY, HUH?

DARRELL: YEAH.

[SNOWMOBILE STARTING]

DARRELL: WATCH IT ON THAT! LISA: YEAH!

[ENGINE ROARS]

DARRELL: JUST HITTING THAT HOLE.

JUST HITTING THAT HOLE WRONG, JUST HITTING THAT SPOT WRONG.

AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA ENCOUNTER OUT HERE.

THAT WAS FREAKIN' SCARY. VERY SCARY.

JUST WANT TO GET OFF OF HERE. IT AIN'T OVER TIL IT'S OVER.

NARRATOR: WITH THE TRAILER LOADED,

NOW THEY'VE GOTTA MAKE IT TO THE END OF THE CROSSING.

DARRELL: ALL RIGHT, ROCK AND ROLL, LISA.

LISA: I CANNOT WAIT TO GET OFF OF THIS ICE.

YOU KNOW LISA'S ALL ABOUT ADVENTURE,

I THINK THAT ONE THERE MAY HAVE PUT A LITTLE SCARE IN HER.

IT DID ME.

♪♪♪

OKAY, DON'T GET STUCK, DON'T GET STUCK.

GO FOR IT, DARRELL.

DARRELL: COPY THAT.

PIECE OF CAKE.

WHAT A NIGHTMARE.

♪♪♪

YOU KNOW I'M GLAD YOU CAME ALONG WITH ME.

THANKS, LISA.

LISA: YOU'RE WELCOME, DARRELL.

THANKS FOR THINKING OF ME TO GO WITH YA.

HEY, EPIC RUN, RIGHT?

LONGEST WINTER ROAD IN THE WORLD.

GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS.

LISA: IT'S ALWAYS EPIC RUNNING WITH YOU, THANK YOU.

ABSOLUTELY, WOULDN'T DO IT ANY OTHER WAY.

NARRATOR: IN WINNIPEG...

[TRUCK HONKS]

DARRELL WARD AND LISA KELLY,

ARE BACK FROM THEIR RECORD SETTING RUN.

LISA: WELL, ANYWAY DARRELL,

IT WAS REALLY FUN RUNNING WITH YOU ONCE AGAIN.

LISA: DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU'RE OFFERING ME A JOB?

[LAUGHS]

NARRATOR: AS DARRELL HEADS TO HIS SHOP...

LISA ARRIVES AT POLAR HEADQUARTERS.

AND IT'S TIME TO FACE THE MUSIC WITH THE BOSS.

MARK: BACK FROM THE UH, THE LONG TRIP?

LISA: YEAH.

MARK: HOW DID THE REST OF THAT RUN GO?

LISA: I HAD A LITTLE PROBLEMS ON A LAKE,

I DROPPED A DRIVE TIRE THROUGH IN A SOFT SPOT.

BUT WE ACTUALLY, I'M REALLY GLAD I HAD DARRELL THERE

BECAUSE WE BOTH OFFLOADED THAT LOADER

AND GOT IT PUSHED OUT OF THERE.

MARK: GOOD. LISA: GOT IT LOADED BACK UP.

MARK: WHEN I... WHEN I FIRST FOUND OUT THAT YOU HAD FOLLOWED DARRELL IN

UM, I WAS PISSED, LISA.

SO IN THE END OF THE DAY, YOU MADE THE RIGHT CALL.

[RELIEVED, HAPPY EXHALE]

MORALLY, IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO,

ETHICALLY IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT MATTERS, AND I MEAN I'M SORRY,

BUT I WOULD DO IT AGAIN.

NO YOU KNOW WHAT, NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, EVERYBODY GOT HOME SAFELY,

FREIGHT WAS DELIVERED,

THOSE ARE THE TWO BIG GOALS HERE AT POLAR INDUSTRY.

AM I GONNA HAVE YOU BACK HERE AT POLAR,

ARE YOU GOING TO BE WORKING FOR DARRELL WARD NEXT YEAR?

IN ALL HONESTY, DARRELL'S OFFERED ME A JOB,

SO I DON'T KNOW,

I MEAN I'VE REALLY GOTTA THINK ABOUT IT.

I'VE GOTTA SEE WHAT OPTIONS ARE OPEN

WHEN IT ACTUALLY ROLLS AROUND TO THAT TIME OF YEAR.

WELL, LET'S DEFINITELY... LET'S DEFINITELY TALK

BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY DECISIONS.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS.

MARK: SEE YA. LISA: SEE YA.

LISA: WOULD I EVER GO WORK FOR DARRELL?

UM, I WOULD DEFINITELY CONSIDER IT, FOR SURE.

BUT I'D CONSIDER STAYING HERE AT POLAR, TOO.

NARRATOR: DESPITE DARRELL'S DEFECTION,

POLAR FINISHES AT TOP OF THE LOAD COUNT

FOR THE SECOND SEASON IN A ROW.

[LOW HUM CHATTER]

MARK: GRAB SOME DRINKS, GRAB SOME FOOD.

LET'S CELEBRATE A GREAT SEASON.

TODD: GOOD TO SEE YOU, BUDDY. MARK: RIGHT ON.

MARK: A GREAT YEAR FOR POLAR. SUCCESSFUL YEAR.

THANKS EVERYBODY FOR COMING OUT TO OUR WRAP PARTY HERE.

HAVE A GOOD TIME.

WE TOOK RISKS. WE WENT INTO ONTARIO.

IT'S LIKE THEY SAY, YOU CAN TALK THE TALK,

BUT YOU'VE GOT TO BE DAMN SURE YOU CAN WALK THE WALK.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO HERE AT POLAR.

LISA: WHAT ARE YOU EATIN'? KIELBASA?

TODD: I DON'T KNOW, THOSE LITTLE SAUSAGE THINGS AND MEATBALLS.

LISA: THEY SMELL REALLY GOOD. TODD: THEY'RE REALLY GOOD.

THIS YEAR FOR ME WAS PHENOMENAL,

AND IT'S JUST SEEMED LIKE EVERY TIME I WENT ON A NEW RUN THIS YEAR,

IT WAS MORE CHALLENGING, AND MORE CHALLENGING,

AND MORE CHALLENGING, AND LONGER.

THAT WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD THIS YEAR.

GONNA TAKE SOME TIME OFF.

I'VE BEEN BUSY THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

HAD A WAY BETTER SEASON THAN LAST YEAR, BOY.

WELL, I MEAN I HAD SOME [BLEEP] HAPPEN THIS YEAR TOO,

BUT [BLEEP] HAPPENS, RIGHT?

I'LL GO HOME AND TALK TO MY THERAPIST FOR A WHILE

OVER WHAT HAPPENED TO ME THE LAST TWO [BLEEP] MONTHS

AND I'LL BE FINE, BOY. [LAUGHS]

MARK: WE'RE CUTTING THE CAKE. ONE, TWO, THREE.

[LAUGHTER]

NARRATOR: ACROSS TOWN, VP'S GOT REASON TO CELEBRATE TOO...

I WANT TO THANK YOU, OF COURSE,

FOR YOU MAKING ME MONEY, FOR YOU MAKING ME OLDER.

ALEX: WELL, 2014. VAL: 2014 IT IS!

[OVERLAPPING TOASTS AND LAUGHTER]

THE YEAR WAS A BIG SUCCESS FOR US,

MORE THAN WE COULD EVEN FATHOM.

I MEAN IT WAS JUST INCREDIBLE.

WE WANTED TO BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST OUTFITS ON THE NORTH AMERICAN ICE ROADS,

AND UH, WE TOOK 'ER BY STORM THIS YEAR.

NARRATOR: AND WITH DARRELL'S NEW COMPANY IN THE MIX,

NEXT SEASON IS ANYONE'S GAME.

IT'S A GREAT FEELING BEING ON YOUR OWN.

I DID A LOT BETTER WITHOUT MARK THAN I DID WITH MARK.

NICE SHOT.

IT'S A PRETTY COOL THING LIKE JUST TO BE ABLE TO SAY I WAS UP HERE,

I DROVE A LOADED SEMI ACROSS A FROZEN LAKE.

DARRELL: GOOD JOB!

I'M HERE, RENO'S HERE,

DON'T STAND IN MY WAY BECAUSE YOU WILL GET KNOCKED DOWN.

NARRATOR: AS SPRING ARRIVES...

[TUCK HONKS]

A LEGENDARY SEASON DRAWS TO A CLOSE,

AND THE DRIVERS HAVE LIVED TO TELL THE TALE

OF SURVIVING ON THIN ICE.

ALEX: ♪ 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, ♪

♪ And grace will lead me home

[LAUGHS]
