has become unstable.

I think you should take your kids

and leave, Mr. Curtis.

You're not by any chance

the Jackson Curtis...

...who wrote Farewell Atlantis,

are you?

The very same.

It's actually dedicated to my mom.

That's great.

I read a couple of your short stories

when I was in college. Yeah.

You know,

your father is a very talented man.

- Listen up.

- It's amazing. I'm reading your book.

I'm around day 300, the shuttle has

just lost communication with Earth.

You're one of the lucky few

who bought it.

- I didn't buy it.

- No?

My dad gave it to me.

Let me ask you something.

You believe those people

would behave so selflessly...

...knowing that their own lives

were at stake?

I hope so.

The critics said I was naive,

an unabashed optimist...

...but what do they know, right?

Well...

- Pleasure.

- It was a great pleasure meeting you.

Major, could you escort these

good people to the campgrounds?

This is yours.

- Thank you.

- Yes, sir.

- Take care.

- Okay.

He was very nice.

You're just saying that

because he liked my book.

Looks like that boy of yours

is gonna be smarter than any of us.

What's wrong?

I sent Satnam

the temperature reading.

My colleagues in Argentina and

Ontario have almost identical data.

It's so hot here,

we've had to seal off the mine.

- Double-checked the numbers?

- Triple-checked, my friend.

I wish we were wrong...

...but we're not.

The Earth's crust is destabilizing.

It's too early.

Adrian,

you have to begin the evacuation.

My God.

All our scientific advances,

our fancy machines...

The Mayans saw this coming

thousands of years ago.

I thought we'd have more time.

Okay.

I want you to pack up your family.

I'm gonna arrange an airlift for you

from Delhi.

Thank you, my friend.

And good luck.

Ajit.

We are going on a big ship.

- That was so cool.

- Yeah, that was intense.

- The helicopters.

- Craziest place I've seen.

- Those helicopters were so cool.

- Wait. Wait. Wait.

Wait. Sorry. One question:

What did the government guys

say to you?

Well, they don't like us

going over their fences...

...and that the whole area

back there is unstable.

Unstable. They said "unstable"?

Yeah, unstable.

That's funny.

Let's go. Have a good one.

Unstable.

It's not just Yellowstone, sir.

Temperatures are rising

with incredible velocity...

...in hot zones across the globe.

Are you absolutely sure

about this, Adrian?

Because once we give

these orders...

...there's no going back.

You understand that?

I'm afraid there's no longer

any doubt, sir.

We have to save what we can.

And we have to move now!

There's mosquitoes in here.

Did anybody spray the tent?

I'm gonna get that spray tomorrow.

They just like you

because your blood's so sweet.

Dad, you said you wouldn't work

on your book.

What, Lil'bee? I'm not, I'm not.

I'm just... I'm doing something else.

Let me get you ready for...

Ready for bed.

Okay.

Did you really need all these hats?

- Where are your Pull-Ups, sweetie?

- I have them on.

Who gave you this, Mommy?

No, Gordon gave it to me

for my birthday.

A cell phone is something we gotta

talk about, you know, as a family.

What family?

That hurts my feelings

when you say stuff like that.

Just go away.

Adults get...

...hurt feelings too.

We have a listener calling in.

Bill from Cooke City,

you're on the Charlie Frost Show.

Charlie, just wanted to say

I love your show.

No way.

...not afraid to tell the truth.

Thank you, Bill.

What is your question?

I wanted to know,

where is all this gonna start?

Well, something like this could only

originate in Hollywood, Bill.

They got the Earth

cracking under their asses already.

Our family believes in the gospel

of the Lord Jesus.

- We have nothing to fear, Charlie.

- Good for you, Bill. Thanks for calling.

This is Charlie Frost reporting live

from Yellowstone National Park...

...soon to become

the world's largest active volcano.

I'll be right back, folks.

Do you mind if I join you?

I wanted to ask you something.

I only got a minute.

Hey. Pickle?

No. I was listening to the broadcast

and I was wondering...

...what exactly is it

that's gonna start in Hollywood?

It's the apocalypse.

End of days.

The Judgment Day,

the end of the world, my friend.

Christians called it the rapture,

but the Mayans knew about it...

...the Hopis, the I Ching...

...the Bible, kind of...

Beer?

- Yeah.

- So look, I gotta eat.

Why don't you download my blog.

It's free.

Of course,

we do appreciate donations.

In ancient times, the Mayan people

were the first civilization to discover...

...that this planet had

an expiration date.

According to their calendar...

...in the year 2012,

a cataclysmic event will unfold...

...caused by an alignment

of the planets in our solar system...

...that only happens

every 640,000 years.

Oh, not again.

Pretty neat, huh?

I did all the animation myself.

Just imagine the Earth

as an orange.

You lure them in with humor.

Then you make them think.

Our sun will begin to emit

such extreme amounts of radiation...

Those little bastards

are called neutrinos.

...that the core of the Earth will melt.

That's the inside part of the orange...

...leaving the crust of our planet

free to shift.

In 1958, Professor Charles Hapgood

named it Earth Crust Displacement.

Albert Einstein did support it.

People, we'll get it all.

The forces of Mother Nature

will be so devastating...

...it will bring an end to this world

on winter solstice, 12-21-12.

Always remember, folks,

you heard it first from Charlie Frost.

You'd have to keep a thing like this

under wraps.

I mean, just think about it, okay?

First, the stock market would go.

Then the economy, boom!

The dollar, boom!

And then pandemonium in the streets.

War, genocide, boom, boom, boom!

Bullshit. Nobody could keep

that big a secret, Charlie.

- Somebody would blow the whistle.

- Every once in a while...

...some poor little sucker tries.

Well, like these guys, boom, boom!

Every one of these guys,

dead, dead, dead.

That's Professor Meyers.

He ran the Atlantis shuttle program.

Why, did you know him?

Yeah, he helped me

with research on my book.

Well, that must have been

before his "accident. "

Meyers is dead?

Oh, yeah, two months ago.

He was one

of my most avid listeners...

...and he had it all figured out.

Everything the government was doing,

where and why...

He even sent me a map.

A map for what, Charlie?

What's the map for?

They're building spaceships, man.

Sh*t, man, I have to go...

...because I gotta get back to Earth.

- But do you got a traveler for the road?

- This is my last...

Oh, that'll be all right. But, anyway,
