Age of Ice Page #3

You're going into the storm?

Why aren't you running from it?

We would die of exposure before we got a

quarter of the way to

the nearest safe zone.

The Red Sea is 1,000 miles long!

Do you know the exact

point of the evacuation?

I'm not buying this. It

doesn't make any sense.

Actually, this all does make sense.

What does? Going into the storm?

I flew a rescue mission into

a tropical depression once.

Low on fuel, we were

having a hard time landing.

Then all of a sudden, as

if a switch had been turned

the wind died down and

the skies opened up.

Ok, so it's calm in the eye of the

storm, but where is the eye of this storm?

I:

- I still don't understand.

Ok, one moment.

Look.

The magma is boiling the water

into the atmosphere. Here.

And causing...

an extreme cold front to circulate here.

And creating a narrow temperate zone

along the shores of the Red Sea here.

And I know where the logical

evacuation point would be.

Right here.

Simon is right, and we

are only 20 miles from it.

I knew I was right. I knew we

were going the right direction.

It is all God's will.

Well whoever's will

it is, we have a plan.

What do you think?

I think our 6 should go with their 4.

I think you're right.

God, I love you.

We don't have a lot of time

to get them out of here.

Ok.

If we don't get out of here by

sundown, the storm will cut us off...

and by my calculations, we really

will freeze to death out here.

Ok. Let's go.

I shouldn't get my hopes up.

I think this is what the call a

temporary reprieve. It won't last.

What's this?

Dad!

It's a camel farm.

Amber.

I think you're gonna get that

camel ride at sunset after all.

Ok, let's get these camels

settled up... and ready to ride.

Wow.

This is really happening, isn't it?

It looks like our luck my

have ran out with the weather.

Look, blankets.

I think we'll have to double up.

I'm riding with you.

Of course!

- Have you ever ridden a horse before?

- Yes I have!

It's nothing like that.

On a horse your legs dangle on

the side with stirrups for support.

Ok, show me.

See this saddle post?

Your legs wrap around the

front and when the camel moves,

You move rhythmically

with the camel for balance.

You go that, Amber?

Yeah, I think so.

Just follow me and you'll be fine.

Time?

He right, time is getting away from us!

Let's go.

Hey Dad!

You know how when you're in

the desert you can see a mirage?

Of course, son.

When you're in the desert can you

see a mirage when it's snowing?

What are you seeing, Dylan?

Something shinny.

It's glittering up ahead.

It looks like a mini pyramid!

Maybe it's a marker for something!

- Dylan! Dylan, please be careful!

- Whoa!

Slow down, Dylan!

- Dylan!

- Dylan!

Jack!

- Are you hurt?

- I think so.

You can't run off like that.

You could have got yourself killed!

Are you both ok?

Come on, we need help! We

need to keep heading east!

Great idea, but are we

going to get the camels down?

Well, I'm not sure we can do that!

We could cut them open for warmth

like the Empire Strikes back?

We'll shoot them off and they'll

find their way back home.

Are you sure you're both ok?

- We're ok! It's the side

of a pyramid, slide down. Ok!

Cap? Is that a piece of your plane?

Sure is. This must be

where we circled back.

This sucks!

Please tell me we're not screwed.

Yeah, we kinda are.

Actually we need to keep heading east.

- Any luck, Tariq? - No, but I have

to get in touch with my father.

There's no way, Tariq. There's no safety,

there's no higher ground, this is it!

Jack, less then 9 miles.

Less than 3 hours, Jack.

And look at that!

We need to keep moving...

A detour now will double

how far we have to go.

Tariq, I would love to

have your father's help!

But this is all we have

now and we have a chance.

We have to keep going.

We have to do this together.

There is still hope, right?

Dad, I think Tariq's father can help us.

He has the means... How? How

are we gonna do that Amber? How?

- Dad! I believe him!

- How?!

Dad, do you think we're

gonna survive out here?

No! We're gonna die! When all

we have is this first aid kit?

Amber. Amber. It's ok.

Guys, listen to me!

I know Tariq's got great ideas,

and you've been a huge help to us.

But we're beyond outside help.

We have to go on as we are, as best

we know how, on our own. On foot.

He's-He's right.

Trying to find high ground where

I might get a call is pointless.

I'll try on the way.

This is our only chance.

Do you hear something?

Over there!

Hey!

Over here!

Hey!

Dylan! No! Wait!

Dylan! That was our only

flare! Come on, Come on Simon,

Let's cut them off!

Somebody up there heard us!

You're getting religious on me now too?

If people have the will, they

can control their destiny.

He saw our plane go down.

He saw pieces flying

and then he followed.

Please, you have to

help us get out of here.

He said that the storm is ending and

that they are looking for supplies.

End? No, things are

about to get a lot worse.

Please! You can't just leave us!

Come on!

Heat! Heat!

That's the first heat we've

felt in a... long time.

Enjoy while it last, buddy.

Where are we?

It's an oil refinery.

They have been gathering supplies.

These locals made this their base camp

after the employees were evacuated.

Can we get some food? We're famished.

Is he serious?

Just um, let him talk.

What's that about?

The village where they got most

of the supplies, many of the

people were killed by the earthquake.

Finding what they needed was much easier

and more plentiful than they expected.

What did you say... Uh Amber! Um...

Just go eat some food.

It's ok.

What did you offer?

You don't wanna know.

I gotta thank you for

everything you've done for us.

I have one more favor to ask you.

How many of those work

trucks can you spare?

You are leaving now?

We heard that there's an evacuation

center in the banks of the Red Sea.

This storm isn't temporary.

It's getting colder and

colder by the minute.

I just want to get my family

to safety before sundown...

when things get really bad.

How do you know there's an

evacuation point waiting?

That's what we heard.

So you're going on faith?

Yeah I guess we are.

- Move!

- Get outta the way!

- Go!

- Get outta the way!

Do your really not see how

dangerous it is to stay here?

Come on.

Come over here.

Tell them what I'm saying.

We've heard...

There is an evacuation center.

On the banks of the Red Sea.

We are leaving...

in those trucks.

If you stay here, you

will freeze to death.

We have heat and supplies.

That will last us for days.

Weeks even.

If you want to leave...

based on rumors and whispers...

then you will be on your own.

Dylan?

Do you have some snacks for the road?

I got some cheesy crackers. I'm good.

Thank you for everything you've done.

You saved our lives

and I won't forget that.

I want you two to ride in the

cab of the truck. Not the back.
