The Day After Tomorrow Page #8

[ Whispering ]

I know. I know.

Mr. President.

All right.

I'm sorry, sir.

We can't wait any longer.

We're the last ones.

All right.

[ Pilot ]

Mexicali Control,

this is Delta 2-6.

We're carrying an urgent message

for high command.

Request priority

on landing zone one.

[ Chattering, Shouting ]

[ Radio Chatter Continues,

Indistinct ]

Sir.

Thank you, Corporal.

Carry on.

Madam Secretary?

Raymond.

The president's motorcade

got caught in the storm.

They didn't make it.

She wouldn't

wake up this morning.

I-I-- I mean, last night

she only had a fever.

I don't understand.

God, she's awfully pale.

Well, guys, look.

none of us has had anything

real to eat in days.

[ Jeremy ] I'm telling you,

it's hypothermia.

How could it be hypothermia?

We've all been--

Maybe it's just

the flu, you guys.

No, no,

it's not the flu.

Yeah?

And how do you know?

Books can be good for

something other than burning.

Let's go over her symptoms.

I told you. She has a fever

and a really cold sweat.

[ Woman ]

How's her pulse?

It's really fast.

Did she have any injuries,

like a cut or something

that might have gotten infected?

She was complaining

about a cut on her leg

a few days ago.

I didn't-- I didn't

think anything of it.

Oh, my gosh.

That's blood poisoning.

Um, septicemia.

She could go into septic shock.

I've seen that before.

That can get bad.

She needs a massive dose

of penicillin...

or a broad-spectrum

antibiotic immediately,

or--

Or what?

I've never seen

anything like it.

There's no point of reference.

All I can see

is cloud cover.

What are you doing?

Taking infrared image

of thermal currents...

sent to Houston, Korolev,

your weather service.

[ Parker ]

I'll help you.

Tom?

Tom, wake up.

[ Groans ]

I just received

some satellite images

from the space station.

You'd better take a look.

How big is this thing?

The vortex is

50 miles in diameter

and growing.

The two cells

over Europe and Asia

are even bigger.

[ Tom ]

Good God.

This one's gonna hit New York

inside an hour.

[ Gasping, Panting ]

Jack--

Jason!

Are you all right?

Jason!

[ Panting, Gasping ]

[ Barking ]

- What are you doing?

- There's gotta be medicine

on that ship.

I thought you said

it was too dangerous

to go outside.

I know I did.

Where'd you find

those chairs?

Why?

I'm going with you.

Me too.

[ Gasps ]

There!

[ Lock Rattling ]

Ohh! Come on!

Damn it!

- [ Grunts Loudly ]

- [ Growling ]

[ Grunting Continues ]

[ Yells ]

[ Panting ]

- It's all in Russian. I--

- [ Sam ] I know.

- H-H-Hey, guys, I found it.

- What? How do you know?

Because it says "penicillin"

on the bottom.

[ Growling ]

Wait. This is the mess hall.

We should find some food

while we're here.

We don't have time.

None of us are gonna survive

without food, including Laura.

Okay.

[ Exhales, Clears Throat ]

[ J.D. ]

Sam, over here!

What?

Bingo.

[ Laughs ]

[ Sam Laughs ]

[ Glass Clattering ]

[ Inflating Loudly ]

[ Yelling ]

[ Sam ]

Brian?

[ Brian ]

I'm okay.

[ J.D. ] What happened?

Okay, okay. All I did

was open up a cupboard.

[ Quiet Snarling ]

We can use it.

Put food in it.

[ Loud Snarl ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Growling ]

[ Panicked Yelling ]

- [ Continues Yelling ]

- [ Grunting ]

Pull him in!

[ Wolf Whimpers ]

[ Whimpering, Growling ]

You all right?

[ J.D. Groans ]

My leg.

Here, use this.

[ Shuddering, Groaning ]

Oh, yeah. Here. Ohh!

It should be

over New York by now.

Satellite readings

are showing a temperature drop

of 10 degrees per second.

[ Sam ]

You guys, I think

we're in the eye of it.

We gotta get back right now.

Look,

I'm gonna go outside...

and I'm gonna lure the wolves

out of the room.

- When they leave,

you lock the door.

- Good luck.

- [ Crunch ]

- [ Growling ]

[ Yelling ]

Aah!

[ Gasps ]

[ Muttering, Grunting ]

[ Growling, Snarling ]

Aah!

[ Panting, Gasping ]

- [ Wolf Whimpers ]

- [ Panting ]

[ Groans ]

Brian, hurry!

[ Muttering ]

Come on! Hurry!

[ Snarling, Growling ]

[ Groans, Panting ]

[ Growling Continues ]

[ Banging On Door ]

Brian!

Brian, open the door!

We have to get out of here now.

Brian, get the supplies.

[ Grunting, Panting ]

[ Crackling ]

Let's go!

Pull! Pull, Brian!

Come on! Pull!

Take the medicine to Laura!

[ J.D. Groaning, Yelling ]

We're almost there, man!

Come on! Aah!

[ Grunts ]

Brian, close the door!

Don't let the fire

go out!

What's happening?

[ Buddha Barking ]

Buddha,

come away from the door!

Come, Buddha, come!

More books! More books!

How long

have I been out of it?

Couple hours.

How do you feel?

Okay.

What happened?

Well, we had to get inside

in kind of a hurry,

so I sort of pushed you in.

I should be used to

you pushing me around.

Good to have you back.

What are you doing?

The eye of the storm

has passed,

and we're 40 miles

from Manhattan.

Shouldn't we wait

one more day?

Sam may not have

one more day.

What do you think's

gonna happen to us?

What do you mean?

I mean us.

Civilization.

Everybody.

Mankind survived

the last ice age.

We're certainly capable

of surviving this one.

All depends on

whether or not we're able

to learn from our mistakes.

I sure as hell would like

a chance to learn from mine.

You did everything you could.

I was thinking about Sam.

Jack, you know

the chances of Sam--

I made my son a promise.

I'm going to keep it.

[ Man On Radio ]

Parker, this is Houston.

Do you read?

Roger, Mission Control.

Go ahead.

We're getting scattered reports

that the storm is dissipating

over North America.

Can you confirm?

[ Parker ]

Affirmative.

It's finally clearing.

We're over Europe right now.

I can see landmass

for the first time in days.

How much further is it

to the library?

It should be...

right here.

I'm sorry, Jack.

Sam?

Who is that?

My father.

You made it.

Of course I did.

[ Crowd Shouting ]

[ Shouting Continues ]

Mr. President.

I just received

a shortwave radio transmission

from Jack Hall.

He made it to New York.

He says

there are survivors.

Thank you, Tom.

That's--

That's good news.

[ Becker ]

These past few weeks

have left us all...

with a profound sense

of humility...

in the face of nature's

destructive power.

For years we operated

under the belief...

that we could continue

consuming our planet's

natural resources...

without consequence.

We were wrong.

I was wrong.

The fact that my first

address to you comes from

a consulate on foreign soil...

is a testament to

our changed reality.

Not only Americans,

but people

all around the globe...

are now guests in the nations

we once called the Third World.

In our time of need

they have taken us in

and sheltered us,

and I am deeply grateful

for their hospitality.

[ TV:
Becker Continues ]

We mourn the loss

of a spirited leader...
