[THUNDER RUMBLlNG]

You all right?

He's afraid of flying.

I'm fine.

[BEEPS]

Statistically, the chance of a plane

going down because of turbulence...

...is less than, what, one in a billion?

Or is it a million?

-l can't remember if it's a--

-Shut up, Brian.

Listen, Sam...

...don't pay attention to him, okay?

Everything's fine.

They're still serving drinks.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[BEEPS]

PlLOT [OVER PA]:
It appears

we're gonna have a bumpy ride...

...for the next few minutes.

Please fasten your seat belts

and put your tray tables...

...and seats in their upright positions

untii we get through this. Thank you.

Whoa!

STEWARDESS:

Grab it. Watch out!

[GASPlNG]

[PASSENGERS SCREAMING]

LAURA:

Sam?

-Sam.

-Hm?

Can l have my hand back?

I can't believe l'll be alone

with my mom.

Be patient with her. She's been

looking forward to this holiday.

I know.

I love you.

I love you too.

Hey.

Hey, hello. Bye-bye.

MAN [ON TV]:
The cauSe ofthiS extreme

weather remains a mystery...

...aithough some meteorologists

believe sunspots are to biame.

-Hundreds are missing....

RAPSON:
This is odd.

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

There's a buoy registering

a 1 3-degree drop in temperature.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

That buoy malfunctioned the other day.

I'll see if there are ships near

Georges Bank to get it.

This buoy isn't in Georges Bank.

It's just off Greenland.

SlMON:

What?

-What are the odds of two buoys failing?

-Remote.

Make that three.

[HORNS HONKING]

LUTHER:
Just another typical day in New

York City. Traffic jam, 1 0 blocks long.

Look here, Buddha. These people,

and their cars, and their exhaust...

...and they're polluting the atmosphere.

LAURA:

Excuse me, sir. We're really late.

We're almost there.

-We're only two blocks away.

-Let's walk.

[DOG BARKlNG]

[BIRDS CHIRPlNG]

[SEAL BARKING]

[BEAR ROARING]

What's gotten into them?

CESAR:
l have no idea.

They're all worked up today.

[WOLVES HOWLING]

In 1 532, Spanish conquistador

Francisco Pizarro...

...defeated this Incan emperor at the

Peruvian highland town of Cajamarca.

What is his name? Time.

[THUNDER RUMBLlNG]

Montezuma.

No, no, Montezuma was in Mexico,

not Peru.

It's, like, Anta-something.

-Atahualpa?

-That's it!

REFEREE:

Time's up. Correct answers, please.

That's five points for Woodmont

and five points for Pinehurst Academy.

[CROWD APPLAUDlNG]

Next question.

In what year did Louis Quatorze

ascend to the throne of France?

[MUSlC PLAYlNG]

[CHATTERlNG]

This place is so retro, it might actually

be cool if it were on purpose.

Mm.

Yeah, look at all these nerds.

Hey.

You look beautiful.

Thanks. This place is incredible.

Do you believe this is their cafeteria?

You played a great first round.

So did you.

These are my teammates,

Sam and Brian.

-l'm Laura.

-Oh, I'm J.D.

-Your school's amazing.

-Would you like a tour?

Sure. That'd be great.

Could you hold this for a sec?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

Man, you got some serious competition.

SAM:

Please.

-And I'll bet he's really rich too.

-Shut up.

[THUNDER RUMBLlNG]

[PHONE RlNGING]

-Who is it?

RAPSON:
Terry Rapson here.

Sorry to cail you so early.

No, professor, it's all right.

What is it?

RAPSON:
Well, we've found

something extraordinary.

Extraordinary and disturbing, that is.

You recall what you said in New Delhi

about how polar melting...

...might disrupt

the North Atlantic Current?

JACK:

Yes.

RAPSON:

Well...

...l think it's happening.

What do you mean?

RAPSON:
One of our NOMAD buoys

registered a 1 3-degree drop...

...in surface temperature.

I've sent you an e-mail.

Hold on.

RAPSON:

At first we thought it was a malfunction.

But there are four more across the

North Atlantic showing the same thing.

JACK:

This is unbelievable.

You predicted it would happen.

JACK:
Yes, but not in our lifetime.

This is too fast.

There are no forecast models

remotely capable...

...of plotting this scenario, except yours.

My model is a reconstruction

of a prehistoric climate shift.

It's not a forecast model.

RAPSON:

It's the closest thing we have.

Nothing like this has ever

happened before.

At least not in the last 1 0,000 years.

[WlND WHlSTLlNG]

[THUNDER RUMBLlNG]

TOMMY [ON TV]:
AS I predicted,

the sweil off Hurricane Noelani is incredible.

These waves are even bigger

than i imagined. Just take a look.

[PHONE RlNGING]

Shouldn't you be monitoring

the weather?

This is L.A. What weather?

Wait. What's that noise?

BOB:

What noise?

[MOTOR HUMMlNG]

[PHONE RlNGING]

[SIGHS]

Honey, l'll be right back.

REPORTER [ON TV]:

The Coast Guard closed the beaches...

...as waves have grown

too big for surfers.

-L.A. Weather Center.

MAN:
It's Tommy.

I'm in the middle of something.

What do you need?

[GRUNTlNG]

TOMMY:
There's hail the size

of golf balls coming down here.

MAN [ON TV]:
A low-preSSure

system along the coast...

...is creating a cycionic system

across the L.A. Basin.

[PHONE RlNGING]

JEFF:
Yeah?

-Boss, turn on The Weather Channel.

I think we have to issue

a tornado warning.

What are you talking about?

REPORTER [ON TV]: Palmdale and

Lancaster are reporting wind speeds....

Hold on a second.

REPORTER [ON TV]:

Conditions unusual for California.

[WlND WHlSTLlNG]

We're building a forecast model,

we need-- What?

Priority access to the mainframe

for two days, maybe three.

-ls that it? Anything else?

-We need it immediately.

I'd say you've lost your mind...

...but you've been this way

for the past 20 years.

JACK:

Tom, this is important.

JANET:
What is this forecast model

you're building?

GOMEZ:
Janet Tokada, this is Jack Hall.

Janet's a hurricane specialist with NASA.

Jack's a paleoclimatologist, and l

have absolutely no idea what he's up to.

Booker. What's going on here?

BOOKER:
They just issued a tornado

warning in Los Angeles.

REPORTER 1 [ON TV]: Breaking news as

PlLOT:

Lisa, are you getting this on camera?

This tornado just erased

The Holiywood sign is gone.

It's just shredded.

LlSA:

Bart, what can you see? ls anyone hurt?

BART:
l wouldn't be surprised.

There is so much damage.

And there are people down there

taking pictures.

Hey, what the hell are you guys doing?

Go for cover!

You can't stay here! Get out of here!

TOMMY:
What you're seeing are

two actual tornadoes...

...striking Los Angeles

International Airport.

Wait. lt looks like they've joined

and formed one large tornado.

CAMERAMAN:
Tommy!

-Oh, my God!

Holy sh*t!

REPORTER [ON TV]: I'd like to urge our

viewers to stay away....

-Jeff, where are you?
