Doomsday Prophecy Page #4

Battery's dead.

How does it work?

You just touch it,

but I'm warning you,

it's not very pleasant.

I think it's what killed Crane.

Well, that's a pretty

grim birthright.

Some people get trust funds,

and you get a rod

that'll eventually kill you.

I'm just more concerned about,

you know, what I do next.

Do I go to the news

and predict what city

will crumble?

I don't know. We don't even

know what's happening out there.

God, I hate feeling

so helpless.

I need my computer.

What are you doing?

Maybe we're not so helpless.

Eric.

Now you know

that the rod's true purpose

has yet to reveal itself.

Close that damn thing

and get out!

Everybody's gotta die sometime.

Are you okay?

Eric, talk to me.

Maybe that computer

is a better idea.

Your nose is bleeding.

Oh, crap.

Crap.

The images are starting

to get a lot clearer.

I saw these stone heads,

you know, the Easter Island

statue faces.

- Yeah, Moai heads.

- Yeah.

I saw something else,

too, Brooke.

The Earth,

the surface of the Earth

started to crack

and northern Canada

was being torn apart.

Oh, my God.

Crane was right.

Well, what else?

What else did you see?

You know, I... do you got paper

and a pen or something I can...

Yeah, here.

There was a bunch

of different images, but...

it was outside

on this sort of flat rock surface,

kind of looked like that.

Oh, yeah, that looks familiar,

but it's...

it's not European

cave drawings.

It's North American.

I'm gonna make a call.

You know what?

Use Crane's.

The government might be

listening to yours.

- Hello.

- Dennis, it's Brooke.

- Brooke, did you hear about Italy?

- No, what happened?

It just sank into the Mediterranean,

like Atlantis.

Major earthquakes are happening

across the globe.

Seriously,

this is getting biblical.

Okay, Dennis,

what I'm about to ask you to do

is the most important assignment

of your life, okay?

What are you talking about?

- Does this have to do with Crane?

- I'll explain all that later.

Listen, I need you to research

the photo I'm about to send you, okay?

Compare it to any North American

cave drawings we have on record.

Dennis, I cannot stress to you

how important this is.

All right.

All right, I'll do it.

Just be warned that my

Armageddon bag is packed.

I'm serious. I'm thinking

about heading to the hills.

Okay, thanks, Dennis, and listen, call

me as soon as you have something

and only use this number, okay?

Got it.

Whoa.

Thank you kindly, Mr. Crane.

Well, after 10 years,

authorities finally have

a break in the disappearance

and possible murder

of best selling author Rupert Crane.

Two suspects are wanted

for questioning...

Eric Fox and Brooke Calvin.

Both are considered

armed and dangerous.

Holy crap!

What have you got?

No matches yet,

but you're all over the news.

- What? Why?

- Oh, it's nothing important.

Just that you

and some guy named Eric Fox

killed Rupert Crane

and are armed and dangerous.

Dennis, he was dead

when we found him.

- What's going on here, Brooke?

- I honestly don't know myself,

but please believe me,

we did not kill anyone.

I just need you to keep working

on those cave drawings, okay?

I'll get back to you later.

I don't like that look.

We're officially fugitives,

armed and dangerous.

Man, this is getting better

by the second.

Shocking,

unimaginable images from Europe.

We're looking at the first pictures

of the Mediterranean Sea,

where the country

of Italy once was.

At 6:
37 local time,

a massive 9.7 magnitude

earthquake,

the largest in recorded history,

ripped through southern Europe

and the Mediterranean,

swallowing Italy

and much of Greece.

The quake was felt

as far north as London

and as far south

as the Ivory Coast.

Aid has been diverted

from the Black Sea region,

but resources are already stretched

to the breaking point.

International reaction

has been stunned silence

as the rest of the world

holds its collective breath

and waits for the next

disaster to strike.

I promise you

I'm gonna get you out of here.

Two fugitives floundering

in the bush?

- I wish I could believe you.

- He's back.

Are you gonna order this time?

You been watching the news?

Yeah, it's pretty scary.

You're telling me,

and the government keeps saying

it'll eventually stop.

Do you believe that?

Well, maybe they

don't want us to panic.

If the world is coming to an end,

I want to know.

I've got power.

Throughout the last three weeks,

the rod has given me

a flood of images

that I can't figure out.

I can feel it getting stronger.

The visions,

well, they're more intense.

The imagery is horrific.

The destruction unimaginable.

We interrupt our regular programming

for this emergency broadcast.

Mount Baker's seismic activity

indicates an imminent

volcanic eruption.

Communities within

a 100-mile radius

are advised

to evacuate immediately.

I repeat, communities within

a 100-mile radius are advised...

All right, you heard her.

This is it! Everyone out!

I see the rod...

That means you two.

...glowing from the inside.

And that'll be $2.50.

And I see beams of light,

aligning themselves

to the stars.

Inside of what? Beams of light

aligning with the stars?

- What do you think that means?

- Right now I have no idea.

Come on, come on, come on!

I don't know what the clues mean.

Unplug that damn thing

and get out!

Unplug that damn thing

and get out!

Come on,

we got to get out of here.

Go, Brooke, go! Go.

I'm closed.

We're evacuating.

Where are we going?

- Out of the car, Fox!

- Come on.

He's got a gun!

Now!

Go, go!

Oh!

Sir, we're in pursuit right now

on Highway 12,

two miles east

of Polkhead Junction.

I'm 20 clicks away.

Jenkins should intercept at Highway 8.

What the hell's going on?

Keep your head down!

Hold on!

- Oh, no.

What the hell's going...

What's your status?

I just found transportation, sir.

- The rest of the team is deceased.

- The ineptitude is staggering.

This operation was supposed

to have results.

Don't disappoint me, Henning.

I'll keep Garcia busy.

Get me that rod.

Copy that.

Beams of light aligning

with the stars.

What do you think that means?

It almost sounds

like doomsday prophecy.

The Mayans had

a similar phrase.

The stars will alter

their accustomed course

and avert man's gaze

with light.

How do you know

all this stuff?

I teach it. Phrases like that are

peppered throughout ancient cultures,

usually tied

to cosmic alignments.

Do you think it has anything

to do with these Moai heads?

There's a Rapa Nui prophecy...

light will protect us

from the path of the universe.

- Another astronomical event.

- In 14 hours,

the solar system's equator

and the Milky Way's equator

are gonna align, but that's supposed

to be a coincidence.

Is it?

Crane said that the world

was gonna end tonight.

If that's the case,

we got till midnight.

The wind has shifted.

We gotta get moving.

Otherwise, we're gonna be
