2012: Ice Age

---

Blue team to base camp.

Go, blue team.

Are you getting this?

The seismic activity seems to be

increasing exponentially.

I'm heading north on the shelf

to collect more data.

Copy.

Blue team, reports show...

the Hekla volcano is having

immense seismic readings.

Proceed with caution.

Copy that.

Base camp, we're seeing

intense magna flow...

running up and down

the range.

If it keeps increasing,

we may have to evacuate

the area now.

All the local areas.

Base camp, if the whole range

starts erupting,

We're looking at a whole glacier

detaching from the shelf.

This is 6SNL7

calling summit camp.

Do you read?

Do you read?

Can I really talk to base

on this thing?

Oh, absolutely.

I talk to them

all the time.

This is 6SNL7

to summit camp.

Do you read?

Try a lower band.

There you go.

This is 6SNL7

calling summit camp.

Do you read?

This is 6SNL7

calling summit camp.

Do you read?

Just can't get it.

There's too much interference.

I'm going to take down

a plane with this thing.

Better not.

Hey, did you pack

your gortex?

Hello?

Julia?

Julia?

Unbelievable.

You heard me a second ago.

Mom packed it.

Well, good, I'm glad.

You know, it gets cold

in New York, Julia.

This is 6SNL7

to summit camp.

Do you read?

This is 6SNL7

to summit camp.

Do you read?

Summit camp, come in.

Dad, I think

i just got 'em.

Oh, great.

Dad, I'm gonna

miss my flight!

Hold on.

Dad, this is

my terminal. Dad!

This is summit camp.

Go ahead.

Divya? Hey, I wanted

to let you know...

that I'm bringing some new instruments

next week.

Bill, have you looked at

the data we sent?

No, no, no.

I'm not in the office.

I'm dropping Julia off

at the airport.

- Why? What's up?

- We're evacuating.

The rest of the team

is gone already.

I'm the last man standing.

Evacuating? Why?

Dad, I should just

walk from here.

Hekla went berserk.

There's a huge

pressure buildup.

The endurance readings

are off the chart.

The entire Hekla line

is erupting.

There is pressure

building up everywhere.

Bill, I've never seen

anything like this.

Pressure

building up where?

At what site?

I'm trying.

Guys, hold on.

We're seeing activity

across the entire range.

Wait, at all the sites?

That doesn't make

any sense, Divya.

I checked with

the other stations.

No one's ever seen

anything like this.

I sent you

everything we got

Before the centers

melted down, Bill.

Look at the data!

No, I'm not

at the office.

I'll be there

in an hour.

Pull up the computer

simulation.

Divya, can you read me?

Divya?

Okay, I'm going back

to school now.

No need to say goodbye

or anything.

Reykjanes ridge?

Yeah. Divya,

are you there?

Magna flow rate?

F7.

Divya,

can you read me?

Right, I'll be back

around christmastime

Unless I decide to stay

in New York forever.

Divya, come in.

Divya, if you

can still hear me,

I will look at the data...

and I will contact you...

as soon as I get to the office.

Divya,

are you there?

Sir, you're going to need

to move your car.

It's fine. I'm just dropping

my daughter off.

We'll be two minutes.

Sir?

Oh, my god.

Come in, 6SNL7.

Do you read?

Sir, you're gonna

have to move your car.

Sir?

Hart, do you read me?

Yes, go ahead, Divya.

I read you. Go ahead.

I can't believe

what's happening!

The entire range is on fire!

Sir, this is

a no parking zone.

This is loading

and unloading only.

I need you to move your...

This is massive!

What's happening?

The entire range is on fire!

Every single volcano

is erupting!

Say again.

I couldn't understand.

The entire ice shelf

is fracturing!

It's 1,000 miles long!

Bill, do you read me?

Something

about the volcano.

Is not moving.

Dad, we need to go. Look.

Yeah.

Where's Julia?

She left, like,

two minutes ago.

What? Ah, crap.

You want me to drive, dad?

No, no, I'm fine,

I'm fine.

I just can't believe

I missed her.

I can't believe I didn't say

goodbye to your sister.

Mom's gonna kill you.

It wouldn't be

the first time.

Dad, what is Dr. Chandra saying

about the glacier?

Did it calf?

Well, it's possible,

But it sounded

a lot bigger than that.

That would be sick.

Sick, huh?

Why don't you bring up

the simulation again...

on the parameter screen, okay?

Okay, let's see.

Okay,

using these numbers,

See what you can

come up with...

for the ice flow projection, okay?

I'll be right back.

Roy?

Bill? What're you doing here?

I thought you were

out in the field.

I just spoke with Divya,

And he had sent you

some data.

Did you receive it?

Yeah, the Hekla volcano

just erupted.

No, but it sounded more

than the Hekla,

like the whole range went up.

We know.

Hart, go home.

We've got this.

I could be pulling maps

or crunching numbers.

Why are you trying

to send me home?

Bill, we don't need you.

Roy, look, we've been friends

for 15 years.

What the hell's

going on here?

Bill, I have just put Cynthia

and my kids...

on a plane to Mexico.

You do the same.

We have got

chunks of ice...

falling all over Canada.

In 19 hours,

the bulk of the glacier...

is going to hit

North America.

Bill, get your family

out now.

What did you get?

It won't let me

input this data.

Okay. Well, let's open up

a terminal window...

and we'll enter

sandbox mode.

What's that?

Well, it's a mode

that allows you...

to enter in variables

that are theoretically impossible.

What does that mean?

It means we gotta get your mom.

Why?

Right now.

I'll tell you on the way.

Hold on.

Excuse me, senator.

I'm sorry

to disturb you,

But I just got off the phone

with Cyrus...

over Atmair traffic services,

and he said that all

the flights are grounded...

because of the volcanic ash flow.

Get Quincy in DC

and ask him...

if they're gonna

postpone the summit.

Yes, senator.

Hey.

Your daughter's

flying out today.

Yes.

Starting college.

NYU.

Teri, these volcanoes

are in Greenland.

Julia's flying

into New York.

She'll be fine.

I hope so.

I'm sure you're right, sir.

Thank you.

Teri?

Teri?

Teri?

Bill, what are you

doing here?

You have to come with us

right now.

Did something happen

to Julia?

You have to come with us

right now.

Did something happen

to Julia?

No, no. Julia is fine.

Everything's fine.

Okay, thank you.

Please don't scare me like that.

What are you doing here?

I was talking to Divya

about the Petermann glacier.

Divya? Petermann?

What is that?

Hi, Bill.

Hi, senator.

Is everything

all right with Julia?

Everything's fine

with Julia, senator.

Sorry to disturb you.

But you need to leave town

right now, sir.

Bill! Bill was just leaving, senator.

So sorry to disturb you.

Look, there is a huge glacier

coming our way,

And it's coming at us

really, really quick.

We gotta get outta town!

Listen, I have a summit meeting.

No, no, no.

I understand.

Mom, mom!

This is true!

We have to get

out of Maine.

Really? You're gonna bring our son

into all your weather...

It's true!

Excuse me.
