2012: Ice Age Page #2

---

I'm so sorry.

Hi, Josh.

Hi. Hey, Bill.

I can't seem to get anybody...

on the phone

about the summit.

Not even the white house

is picking up.

You'd better be right

about this.

Josh, go home.

What?

No, don't go home.

Get out of Maine.

Go as far south

as you can!

What's going on?

Don't scare him like that!

Eagle Cliff, flight deck.

Requesting sat-com coordinates.

Over.

Hold for GPS.

Glacier located.

Bearing 210. Over.

Copy that.

Eagle Cliff

flight deck clear.

Foxtrot, whiskey,

Roger, I'm getting

a visual now.

This is Foxtrot, Whiskey,

It's heading

towards Newfoundland.

Why is it getting darker?

The weather's changing.

Dad, are your headlights on?

Give me your phone.

I need to call Julia.

Can we go home first?

I need to get my laptop.

We have to get out

of town.

She's not picking up.

I don't understand this.

Don't they have Wi-Fi

on airplanes?

Maybe if she was flying

first class.

She shouldn't have even been

flying at all today.

Not today.

Don't worry.

She's gonna be landing soon.

We'll get hold of her.

It'll be okay.

Whoa.

Use words, Nelson.

I don't think I can.

What?

Well, we're not going back home.

Why not?

Don't have enough time.

Look at the clouds.

What can do that?

Glaciers.

Really, really fast glaciers.

Okay, so where we going?

New York.

Take us about

Hey.

Hey!

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

Sorry it took me so long.

Traffic was a mess.

I know.

They grounded all the flights.

They did?

- Damn.

- Mm-Hmm.

Guess we're gonna be here

a while, huh?

Well, that's not

such a bad thing.

Ooh, I like where this is going.

Oh, crap. I'm sorry.

Who's that?

No one.

Let's go back to the dorm

and fool around.

All right.

Sounds good to me.

Julia, we're on our way

to New York.

We're gonna meet you

at your dorm, okay, honey?

So when you get to the dorm,

just stay there, all right?

We're gonna meet you there.

All right, big hugs,

and love you.

Love you, love you,

love you. Bye.

Are you sure that

New York is safe?

Bill?

How stupid.

Why don't we just have her fly

and meet us down in Florida?

Sweetheart, everything is grounded.

I say we stay on plan...

and we just meet her

at the dorm.

Fine.

Oh, my gosh!

It's okay,

it's okay.

We're okay.

Dad, I think it's coming faster

than we thought!

Have you ever seen this?

No.

The glaciers are making it

snow in Maine?

It's summer.

Can you just get us

out of Maine now?

How big do these glaciers

have to be to do this?

Bill?

Crap.

Dad, does this snow mean

the glacier's getting close?

Bill, it has to because the clouds

are looking massive.

I bet this glacier

is enormous,

Like the whole shelf.

Yeah.

Okay, here's what

we got to do.

I got to find a way

around this traffic.

Nelson, jump on the GPS

and find me an alternate route.

On it.

Bill, get us out of here now!

We don't know

if the glacier is close.

Those military planes?

F-16s.

Nelson, focus.

GPS.

Target is 400 miles

off the Northeast coast...

and is now in range.

Sir, I don't see

anything.

Delta Bravo One,

target is in front of you.

Negative, Alpha Foxtrot.

I see nothing.

Delta Bravo One,

target is in front of you.

Negative, Alpha Foxtrot.

There is nothing.

Delta Bravo One,

look again.

Holy sh...

Pull up! Pull up!

Pull up!

Delta Bravo One,

do you read me?

Delta Bravo One?

Alpha Foxtrot,

this is control.

Fire sequence

in 3... 2...

Oh, my god!

Dad, get us out of here!

Is everybody okay?

Is it gone?

I don't know.

I don't see anything.

I think we outran it.

What do you think, Bill?

Do you think it's gone?

I just don't know.

Maybe we should

just pull over.

No, not yet, not yet.

Everything is gone,

isn't it?

Just don't even think

about it, all right, Nelson?

Everything.

God, my friends.

I need to get online!

No, no. You need to focus

on what's important, okay?

This is important!

No, this is not

important!

Mom, your cell phone.

It's Julia.

Julia? Julia!

Mom! Oh, my god.

Is everyone okay?

We're fine. We're fine.

Dad's here

and Nelson's here.

What happened?

We don't know.

The news is saying

that Bangor just got destroyed.

Tell her we're coming

to New York.

We're coming to New York.

Mom, can I just talk to her?

Tell her that we'll be at her dorm...

in six hours from now.

We're gonna be at your dorm

in six hours, okay?

Can you hear me?

Julia? Julia?

Hello?

Let me talk to her.

Julia, listen.

If the weather breaks,

head south to Florida...

to your aunt Kissy's house.

The further south you go,

the safer it is.

Julia?

Hello?

Julia?

Hello?

Sweetheart, if you can...

Mom?

Lost it.

Dad, I wanted to talk to her.

Sorry, buddy.

Well, what?

My parents

are coming for me.

I think they want us

to stay at the dorm.

Well, we should get going then.

Yeah.

It's getting cold fast.

Come on!

Evacuation is mandatory...

in most Northeast coastal towns.

We've been informed,

following an onsite evaluation,

the president will hold

a press conference...

with the most current update.

The military currently

has Awac in the air...

assessing the threat.

Dropping out at 400.

Target is breaking up,

but it doesn't seem

to be making a difference.

Say again,

Johnny Bravo.

Target is separating

into multiple sections...

and there's still a lot...

heading south

down the coast.

Wow.

Cloud cover's just so thick,

it looks like night.

I'm getting nothing.

I'm trying to call her back.

Look, she's gonna be okay, okay?

We're gonna be okay.

We're all gonna be okay.

Can't get hold of the senator.

Can't get hold of anybody.

Dad, you said the Petermann

glacier was how big?

Let's see, the last calving

happened in 2010.

That was about

Which is roughly four times

the size of Manhattan,

And that was only 8%

of the glacier.

This sounds like

it's the whole glacier.

With enough speed, who knows

how much damage it could do?

What?

Dad!

Which way's your room?

This way. Come on.

Karen!

Oh, my god, Julia.

I can't get hold

of anyone in Maine.

Just try again, okay?

It took me three tries.

Keep trying.

Right, right.

Keep trying.

Is there a basement?

No, there'd be no reception

in the basement.

I'm gonna keep trying.

Come on, Julia!

No, that's a mistake.

No, Julia, we have to go!

What was that?

I don't know.

Hurry! Put your jacket on.

We gotta go.

But my dad said

to stay here.

I know.

Call him and tell him,

But we aren't

staying here, Julia!

Mom! Dad!

We're not staying here.

The dorms aren't safe!

I'll give you a call

when we...

I lost the signal.

You think the message

went through?

I hope so.

So then what now? How do we get

outta the city? Everything's shut down.

We get to one of the bridges

and get across the river!

Wait, wait, wait!

Julia, what about the subway?

The subways

are shut down, too.

I'm not talking about

the train, Julia.

I'm talking

about the tunnels.

We can make it through

one of those.

You really think that'll work?
