...and then St. Louis...

...and then Chicago...

...and then, at long last...

...Washington, D.C.

will have its lights go out!

- That guy's crazy, right, Daddy?

- I don't think so.

This is ridiculous.

Been over half an hour.

I tell you, the guy's a nut job.

Stop it, Gordon.

Noah, hand me the phone again.

Daddy, what was that?

Nothing. Nothing.

I have goose bumps, people.

I wish you could see

what I'm seeing, people.

I wish you could be here with me!

Oh, baby.

Bring it on!

Always remember, folks...

...you heard it first from Charlie!

Daddy, it's following us.

Don't look! Get on the ground.

Get on the ground and hold on.

Don't look back.

Don't look back. Just look at me.

Look at me. Do I look scared?

Now, hold on, baby. Hold on tight.

Daddy, we're on fire.

There it is! There they are.

It's them.

It's them. It's them.

Mommy!

Jeez.

- No, Daddy.

- Hang on, baby. Hang on!

No, Daddy!

Oh, my Go...

- Mommy.

- Take her, take her. I'll be right back.

- Come here, Lil. Grab my hand.

- Come on, Lil. Lilly, you okay?

Aliens, Roswell

and Marilyn Monroe...

Maps! Maps!

- Everybody on? Are we ready?

- Jackson!

- Kate, where is he? What's he doing?

- I don't know.

No!

- Daddy!

- No!

- Oh, my God.

- Kate, we have to go.

No. We're not going anywhere.

- Kids, buckle up, we're leaving.

- This is my dad. We're gonna wait.

No!

Daddy!

Wait!

Wait, Gordon, I see something.

Dad!

It's Daddy!

Slow down!

Jackson, run!

Jackson, take my hand. Jackson.

- Dad, hurry!

- Run!

We're running out of runway.

For God's sakes, Kate, pull him up.

- Jackson, reach for my hand.

- Dad, you can make it, come on.

Daddy!

All right, buckle in. Here we go!

Come on, faster. Faster.

Hang on.

- Go faster.

- I'm trying.

Okay. We're good!

- We're good.

- We're okay.

So now that you got your map,

where are we going?

We're gonna need a bigger plane.

No, you just said that, Mom.

Yeah, you just said that.

You don't remember

that you just said that?

That's okay. That's okay.

Listen, Ma, I am going to call you

next week, same time.

Okay?

You take care now.

Take care of yourself.

Sir?

I think you need to see this.

I thought for sure

they'd give you an extra ticket, sir.

They did.

But my mother is almost 89...

...she's in a wheelchair,

and she's easily confused.

And I am confident that she

would want to meet her maker...

...on her own terms, okay?

Yes, sir. Who are you bringing?

Nobody. Who, my ex-wife?

Last thing she said to me...

...she never wanted to see me again.

So be it.

We need to bring people

who can contribute.

The South American continent

has been ravaged...

...by a series of major earthquakes.

The death toll is expected

to be well over 2 million people.

The devastation in Rio de Janeiro

is beyond imagination.

Two 8.5 tremors have left

the people in the streets...

...desperately fighting

for the last remaining resources.

In the last hour, we received this video from Globo News, Brazil.

Fear and chaos have spread

throughout the globe, as in London...

...where the 30th Olympic Games

have just been suspended.

Hundreds of thousands are marching

towards 10 Downing Street...

...demanding a lift

of the information blackout.

We've had thousands of calls.

We had to shut it down.

We're receiving reports

from all across the globe.

Millions upon millions

of distraught masses...

...are gathering in public places,

converging in desperate prayer.

Preachers of many

religious denominations...

...have taken their message

of the end...

...to the strwets all over the U.S.

Repent. There is still time.

Kind of galling when you realize that

nutbags with their signs had it right.

All these people out there, sir...

...shouldn't we be

issuing warnings now?

Only when the boarding process

is complete. That's the plan.

- British Columbia, 2010, remember?

- Sir.

Sir, those plans were drawn up

two years ago.

Okay. Everybody out.

Go on, get out.

Mary, get the door.

Wasn't it decided

that people have the right...

...to fight for their lives

best way they can?

After we get everyone on board,

Adrian.

I think that's wrong.

Wha...? Just wanna tell everyone

they're doomed?

There'd be anarchy.

- You wanna jeopardize the president?

- Come on.

Our mission is to assurw

the continuity of our species.

My question:
Can I count on you?

Can I?

What?

The Yellowstone caldera

has erupted.

The ash cloud will reach Washington

in roughly seven hours.

We've got to get

the government airborne.

Where's the president, Sally?

Said he wanted some time alone.

I think he's over at the chapel.

- He's gotta go to church now?

- He's praying, sir.

Which, under the circumstances,

is not such a bad idea.

Mr. President.

I need to get you on Air Force One

immediately.

Give me a moment with Adrian.

No disrespect,

but we simply do not have time.

Make time.

Did you ever meet my wife,

Dorothy?

No, sir. I didn't have that honor.

She was in and out of it

towards the end.

The night before she passed on,

she took my hand and she told me:

"I think you should have a lottery.

Everyone should

have a chance to go. "

Maybe that's what

we should have done.

I'll be the last president

of the United States of America.

Do you know how that feels, son?

No one could have

saved the country, sir.

And I think...

I think people have a right to know.

Don't worry, I'll take care of that.

Go on now.

Not without you, sir.

You get on that plane, son.

It's a brave new world

you're heading to.

And a young scientist

is gonna be worth 20 old politicians.

We should go to my parents' house

in the Rockies.

This isn't one of your crazy stories.

How are we gonna make it to China?

Gordon, without Jackson, we wouldn't

have made it out of California.

Noah, please.

You, be careful

with the landing gear.

Easy, gringo. I know what I doing.

Attention. The National Guard

has informed us...

...that an extremely hazardous

ash cloud...

...is headed for Las Vegas.

Hey, where are you going?

Everyone move indoors

immediately.

- Sir, you can't stay here.

- I have plane here.

It's not safe. Move it!

Move it!

So you have

positive confirmation on this?

Thank you, I understand.

President's not coming.

So...

...the captain doesn't want to abandon

his sinking ship.

That's his choice.

And a noble one.

I have also just learned

that the vice-president's chopper...

...went down in the ash cloud

outside of Pittsburgh.

Fortunately,

we have protocols to follow.

What about

the Speaker of the House?

- I have no idea. Where is he?

- He's the commander in chief now, sir.
