any other way out of here?

- The windows.

Hey, now you be quiet.

Shhh.

- I'm not afraid.

- Well, I know you're not.

Hey, listen, Jane--

It'll be all right.

Honey, lay your head down

and try to go to sleep.

Everything will be

all right, Danny.

Hey, there's the fire !

I'll stop it !

Wait a minute.

Let me have that a minute.

[ Coughing ]

CO2 ! Hey, that's it !

It's cold !

That's why it didn't come in the ice box

after us. It can't stand cold.

- You got any more

of these things? Huh?

- [ Man ] No.

This thing's running out.

The phone. Hey, Dave !

Hey, Dave ! Hey, Da--

Anybody on the phone?

Hey, Dave !

Dave, can you hear me?

CO2 !

Dave !

- What did he say?

- Al, what's up?

Shhh. Quiet.

CO2?

Phil ! Phil, do you got

any CO2 extinguishers?

Not many.

Some soda acid.

Well, get the CO2s out here and start

hitting around those cellar windows.

- What?

-Just do it, Phil !

And check these buildings for fire

extinguishers. But only the CO2 kind.

- Bring back every one

you can get your hands on.

- All right. Okay.

Hey, maybe we can help.

Let's get some guys together.

- Lieutenant, I know where

there are 20 extinguishers

- Good. Where?

- At the high school.

Who can go with me?

- Hey, right here, Mr. Martin.

Well, what are we

waiting for ? Let's go.

Okay, let's go.

Over here, Mr. Martin.

[ Chattering ]

This thing's running out !

[ Coughing ]

Hey, Dave ! Dave?

Dave, CO2 fire extinguishers !

Dave, can you hear me?

CO2 !

[ Tires Screeching ]

- Okay, come on.

- [ Chattering ]

- Oh, it's locked.

- Of course it's locked.

- Here comes Mr. Martin.

- Here comes the principal.

[ Indistinct Shouting ]

[ Shouting Continues ]

[ Chattering Continues ]

We could only find four or five

of these things, Dave.

- How many of them do you need?

- A lot more than that.

- Keep looking. It's all we can do.

- Okay.

Dave, Colonel Spaulding

got me through to Washington.

They thought I was crazy at first,

but they're getting someone now.

[ Man ]

Hey, here come the kids !

Our power's still out, so we can't

do much in the way of refrigeration.

We think we've got it under control,

but we won't rest easy

until it's frozen solid.

Now--

No, it's too big for that,

and it's impossible to cut it.

No, sir, a bomb would spread it

all over the country.

Look, this thing has killed probably

In a few hours, we're gonna have

the sun overhead.

I think you should send us

the biggest transport plane you have...

and take this thing up to the Arctic

or somewhere where it'll never thaw out.

Oh, Daddy ! Oh, Daddy !

Let me see you, son.

Let me see my boy.

[ Laughs ]

- Nice work, Steve. You okay?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

Dave, listen, I wanna--

Well, I wanna thank you

for getting us out of there.

You know, for a while,

I didn't think we were gonna make it.

- That makes two of us.

- What are they gonna do

with that thing, Dave?

Well, the Air Force

is sending a Globemaster in.

They're flying it to the Arctic.

It's not dead, is it?

No, it's not.

-Just frozen.

- I don't think it can be killed.

But at least

we've got it stopped.

Yeah, as long as

the Arctic stays cold.
