"Hey, hey, watch out." "Watch out." "Welcome, my friend." "Great to see you." "Yeah, glad you made it." "This can't be Ajit." "He's a little man already." "Unbelievable." "I hope you're hungry, Adrian." "I'm famished." "How are you, Aparna?" "I made that fish curry you love." "I can't wait." "She gets more beautiful every time I see her." "Why is that?" "Strange, isn't it?" "But her fish curry is still awful." "You were mysterious on the phone." "Why didn't you attend the conference?" "I will show you, Adrian, sir." "Satnam, stop "siring" me." "How deep do we need to go?" "Eleven thousand feet." "I searched all over India for this thing." "Used to be the deepest copper mine in the world." "Remember my brother, Gurdeep?" "He's a student now." "Namaste, Dr. Helmsley, sir." "Adrian." "It's just Adrian." "Just don't pour too much, huh?" "How do you work in this heat?" "You've come on a good day, my friend." "Sometimes it can hit 120 degrees." "You have to come and meet Dr. Lokesh a Fellow of quantum physics at the university in Chennai." "Dr. Helmsley." "So, what are we looking at?" "These are neutrinos acting normally." "Minuscule mass, no electrical charge." "They pass through ordinary matter almost undisturbed." "Your message said the count doubled after the last solar eruptions." "That was last week." "But this happened two days ago." "The biggest Sun eruptions in human history causing the highest neutrino count we've ever recorded." "My God." "That's not what worries me, Adrian." "For the first time ever the neutrinos are causing a physical reaction." "That's impossible." "That feels very good." "Please, follow me." "You won't believe this." "This water tank goes down another 6000 feet." "It looks like the neutrinos coming from the Sun have mutated into a new kind of nuclear particle." "They're heating up the Earth's core and suddenly act like microwaves." "Ladies and gentlemen, as promised, no speech just a thank-you because tonight, with your extraordinary generosity we have raised $1.7 million." "Have a stiff drink, because I'm locking the doors..." "...and passing the hat around again." "It's okay." "It's okay." "I work for the White House." "I don't care." "This is a black-tie event." "Scotty." "Hey." "Adrian, I thought you were in India." "What's going on?" "I need your jacket." "What?" "I gotta speak to Anheuser." "Give me your damn jacket, please." "All right." "Okay?" "All right, here." "Here." "Hold that for a minute, will you?" "Hey!" "Easy, that's a $600 jacket." "Mr. Anheuser?" "Mr. Anheuser." "I need to talk to you." "Do I know you?" "Sorry, sir." "My name's Dr. Adrian Helmsley." "I'm a deputy geologist at the Office of Science and Technology Policy." "Excuse me, fellas." "You know that this is a fundraiser, not a frat party, right?" "It's important, sir." "You know what?" "It always is." "Make an appointment with my-- You know, even better:" "Have your boss bring it up at the quarterly briefing." "There's a good plan." "I just traveled 20 straight hours to get here, sir." "I haven't slept in two days." "You need to read this, sir." "You need to read it now." "Let me guess, national geology crisis?" "Excuse me." "Who do you report to?" "Lee Cavazos." "Not anymore." "Alan, bring the car around." "You're gonna wish you took a shower." "Sir?" "You're about to meet the president." "What's going on?" "Get that to the office." "No G8!" "No G8!" "No G8!" "Good morning." "I would like to meet privately with my fellow heads of state." "Mr. Makarenko wishes to have his interpreters present." "Mr. President, I can assure you your English is more than sufficient for what I have to say." "Mr. Presidents." "Six months ago I was made aware of a situation so devastating that, at first, I refused to believe it." "However through the concerted efforts of our brightest scientists we have confirmed its validity." "The world as we know it will soon come to an end." "This dam project will create many new jobs." "The Party and country will assist in your relocation." "Grandma, give me your hand." "But where are they taking us?" "It'll be all right." "Brother!" "Grandma, I will send you money." "Who can write?" "Who can read?" "Who can weld?" "Has His Highness had an opportunity to study the dossier?" "You must understand, I have a very big family, Mr...?" "Isaacs." "One billion dollars is a lot of money." "I'm afraid the amount is in euros, Your Highness." "I put a lot of faith into your organization." "It's a perfect replica, Roland." "There are too many fanatics out there that could damage her." "Just think about the beautiful Buddha statues they blew up in Afghanistan." "Our Heritage Organization has already made selections from the British Museum and L'Hermitage." "I guess she'll be safe now, tucked away hidden in some bunker in Switzerland." "Perfectly safe, Roland." "Only infrared analysis would reveal the difference." "But it's still a fake." "This mass suicide was actually discovered by a documentary crew here in the ancient Mayan city of Tikal." "Now, the victims, and we've seen many are said to have adhered to the Mayan-Quiche calendar which predicts the end of time to occur on the 21st of December of this year due to the Sun's destructive forces." "Thank you, Mark." "Strangely enough, scientific records do support the fact that we are heading for the biggest solar climax in recorded history." "Well, yes." "Apparently many people believe that the Mayan calendar predicts that there's supposed to be a galactic alignment...." "I'm a dead man." "I'm a dead man." "I'm a dead man." "it's the end of the world in 201 2." "Goddamn it." "Hey, Kate." "I'm practically on the freeway right now." "Yes, I'm hurtling toward you as we speak." "Will you relax?" "Yeah, I'll be there any second." "You know it's a vacation and not a doctor's appointment, right?" "That it's supposed to be fun?" "You remember fun, don't you, Kate?" "Do you remember where you were when it stopped being fun for you?" "Yeah." "I got it." "Bug spray?" "Oh, yeah, because it's mosquito season in Yellowstone." "I got a whole bunch." "Okay, I gotta go, because I'm in a bad-reception area." "Whoa, man." "Would you look at that?" "Sick." "Merrill, I told you." "We have to move back to Wisconsin." "Yeah, but these little mini-quakes are really getting on my nerves." "A little surface crack?" "You're not gonna be inconvenienced by that." "Right, surface cracks." "I got a plastic surgeon for that." "Thank God for those shake-proof coffee mugs, Lisa." "They show the true nature of us Californians." "We'll not bow to these inconvenient things like surface cracks." "If you have a funny mini-quake story and wanna share it, call 555-1 070...." "Hi, Daddy." "Hi, baby." "How are you, sweetie?" "Good." "Jackson, what is this?" "Please don't call me that." "I'm your dad." "Come on." "You're taking them camping in a limo?" "Okay, great." "What happened to your temp job?" "Oh, you know, better hours, more time to write." "What about sleeping?" "Have you been doing any of that lately?" "I've said it a thousand times, no lipo on Fridays." "It's too messy." "Hold on." "Morning, Jackson." "Hi." "Nice ride." "Thanks." "Guys, have a nice trip." "Remember, watch out for the bears." "You know, they're:" "Bye, Gordon." "Love you, honey." "Bye." "Okay, so, Lil" " Oh, yeah." "You tell him." "Tell me what?" "She needs to put these on before she goes to sleep." "Still?" "Yes." "Your 7-year-old still wets her bed." "That's something you should know." "I love you." "Love you, Mom." "Hey." "You okay?" "They've been looking forward to spending time with you." "I know." "So don't be on your computer." "Got it." "Love you." "So this time, we hit Japan." "So?" "Well, you could visit your boy, Will." "Afternoon, ladies." "Hello there." "Hello, handsome." "Are you even listening to me?" "Unfortunately, I am, Harry." "I heard from Audrey you're a grandpa now." "Would you mind keeping your nose out of my family?" "You're cramping my style, baby." "There we are." "So he married a Japanese girl." "How is that the end of the world?" "Come on, Tony." "You should at least go see him." "You see your boy?" "Not as much as I'd like." "D.C. is a long way, but at least we talk." "About what?" "Life, and how short it is." "What the hell was that?" "Hello?" "Laura." "Laura, can you hear me?" "Roland, is that you?" "Laura, they lied to us." "I've arranged a press conference for tomorrow." "I will tell everyone the truth about what's going on." "What are you talking about?" "The art you collected it's not in the Alps." "Those tunnels are empty." "I have proof!" "Laura." "Laura, can you hear me?" "I'm losing you." "Roland?" "Laura, can you hear me?" "Laura." "Break it down." "I liked that song." "We lost it." "going on the West Coast with all those surface cracks." "I told myself, "Charlie, get your stupid ass to Yellowstone."" "I don't want to miss all the fun when it finally blows." "Let me tell you, there's been government people flying in and out all morning, and trust me, they did not look happy." "Always remember folks:" "That's weird." "You heard it first from Charlie." "Yeah, just when he said that?" "What are the odds?" "We're not seeing soil liquefaction we'd expect or any evidence of fracture propagation within the tectonic plates." "In English." "The activity on the coast is not caused by tecto-- By regular earthquakes." "And these surface cracks have nothing to do with shifting fault lines." "You suggesting this could be the beginning of the Cho Ming operation?" "Dr. Helmsley is flying to Yellowstone this morning to collect more data." "We have been following the schedule you established, Mr. Helmsley." "The most important schedule in the history of mankind." "Now you're telling me we have to throw it out?" "Yes, sir." "I was wrong." "Do you know how many times I've heard those words in this office?" "Zero." "Did you see this?" "I'm sorry, Mr. President." "She insisted." "It's all over the news." "We are learning more about this deadly car explosion." "The director of the French National Museums was to hold a press conference at the Louvre this morning." "Coincidentally, his death took place in the same Paris tunnel where Princess Diana died in 1 997." "We are continuing to follow this story." "We will" "Laura, I don't believe you've met Dr. Helmsley." "I just talked to him, Dad, and he told me that the organization that I work for is a sham." "I mean, why would he say that?" "You look just like your mother when you get upset." "Did I ever tell you that?" "Every time I get upset." "Daddy, a man was killed." "Honey, please sit down." "Only a dozen people in this administration know what I'm about to tell you." "Dad, what's going on?" "An unprecedented international endeavor is underway." "At this point, 46 nations are invested in this thing." "Laura's a smart girl." "She'll understand." "That thing in Paris, we're not involved in any of that, are we?" "We?" "Who the hell is "we"?" "What are you talking about?" "We need to focus on this timeline." "That's what we need to do." "When do we let the country know?" "What do you mean?" "The people, sir." "They need to know." "Well, of course they do." "Listen, your job is to figure out when this is all gonna fall apart." "My job is to figure out how to retain some semblance of government after it falls apart." "Until then, we don't have time for anything except for doing those jobs." "Okay?" "Call me the moment you get any news from Yellowstone." "Yes, sir." "Cute girl, huh?" "Sir?" "The First Daughter." "I saw you looking at her." "I wasn't looking at her." "Better move fast, kid." "The end is near." "Adrian, your chopper's ready." "They're waiting on the South Lawn." "Daddy, where are we going?" "Going to this really special place that I know." "It's a place where your mom and I used to hang out a lot." "I don't wanna know where you and Mom had sex." "I'm not ready for that, Jackson." "Stop calling me that." "It's creeping me out." "What's wrong with "Dad"?" "Grumpy Grumperson." "Daddy, look at this." "That wasn't here before." "What do we do?" "Go get your hat." "Don't you see the signs?" "Used to be a lake here." "Doesn't look much of a lake to me." "I know, the whole damn thing's gone." "Come on, let's check it out." "Great." "Subjects have now entered hot zone." "Who is that?" "That's the U.S. Army." "All manner of government vehicle are converging on subjects." "You're in a restricted area, sir." "We need you to come with us." "Right." "Right." "Okay, we're gonna go with these guys." "That'll be fun, huh?" "This is wild." "This is really wild." "This is unbelievable." "2700 degrees Celsius at 40,000 feet?" "I know, it sounds completely implausible." "Nonetheless, we're ticking off an increase of almost 0.5 percent." "Per day?" "No." "Per hour." "Dr. Helmsley." "We've arrested a group of tourists in the hot zone." "Okay, I'll take care of it." "Look, let's get Satnam on the communications link." "We'll try and cross-reference the data." "It's a national park." "There's not supposed to be posted fences." "I mean, what's going on here?" "We're geologists." "Do you usually go digging with machine guns?" "Major, I'll take care of this." "Thank you." "What happened to the lake?" "That's what we're trying to find out." "We think the entire area has become unstable." "I think you should take your kids and leave, Mr. Curtis." "You're not by any chance the Jackson Curtis who wrote Farewell Atlantis, are you?" "The very same." "It's actually dedicated to my mom." "That's great." "I read a couple of your short stories when I was in college." "Yeah." "You know, your father is a very talented man." "Listen up." "It's amazing." "I'm reading your book." "I'm around day 300, the shuttle has just lost communication with Earth." "You're one of the lucky few who bought it." "I didn't buy it." "No?" "My dad gave it to me." "Let me ask you something." "You believe those people would behave so selflessly knowing that their own lives were at stake?" "I hope so." "The critics said I was naive, an unabashed optimist but what do they know, right?" "Well...." "Pleasure." "It was a great pleasure meeting you." "Major, could you escort these good people to the campgrounds?" "This is yours." "Thank you." "Yes, sir." "Take care." "Okay." "He was very nice." "You're just saying that because he liked my book." "Looks like that boy of yours is gonna be smarter than any of us." "What's wrong?" "I sent Satnam the temperature reading." "My colleagues in Argentina and Ontario have almost identical data." "It's so hot here, we've had to seal off the mine." "Double-checked the numbers?" "Triple-checked, my friend." "I wish we were wrong but we're not." "The Earth's crust is destabilizing." "It's too early." "Adrian, you have to begin the evacuation." "My God." "All our scientific advances, our fancy machines...." "The Mayans saw this coming thousands of years ago." "I thought we'd have more time." "Okay." "I want you to pack up your family." "I'm gonna arrange an airlift for you from Delhi." "Thank you, my friend." "And good luck." "Ajit." "We are going on a big ship." "That was so cool." "Yeah, that was intense." "The helicopters." "Craziest place I've seen." "Those helicopters were so cool." "Wait." "Wait." "Wait." "Wait." "Sorry." "One question:" "What did the government guys say to you?" "Well, they don't like us going over their fences and that the whole area back there is unstable." "Unstable." "They said "unstable"?" "Yeah, unstable." "That's funny." "Let's go." "Have a good one." "Unstable." "It's not just Yellowstone, sir." "Temperatures are rising with incredible velocity in hot zones across the globe." "Are you absolutely sure about this, Adrian?" "Because once we give these orders there's no going back." "You understand that?" "I'm afraid there's no longer any doubt, sir." "We have to save what we can." "And we have to move now!" "There's mosquitoes in here." "Did anybody spray the tent?" "I'm gonna get that spray tomorrow." "They just like you because your blood's so sweet." "Dad, you said you wouldn't work on your book." "What, Lil'bee?" "I'm not, I'm not." "I'm just" " I'm doing something else." "Let me get you ready for-- Ready for bed." "Okay." "Did you really need all these hats?" "Where are your Pull-Ups, sweetie?" "I have them on." "Who gave you this, Mommy?" "No, Gordon gave it to me for my birthday." "A cell phone is something we gotta talk about, you know, as a family." "What family?" "That hurts my feelings when you say stuff like that." "Just go away." "Adults get hurt feelings too." "We have a listener calling in." "Bill from Cooke City, you're on the Charlie Frost Show." "Charlie, just wanted to say I love your show." "No way." "not afraid to tell the truth." "Thank you, Bill." "What is your question?" "I wanted to know, where is all this gonna start?" "Well, something like this could only originate in Hollywood, Bill." "They got the Earth cracking under their asses already." "Our family believes in the gospel of the Lord Jesus." "We have nothing to fear, Charlie." "Good for you, Bill." "Thanks for calling." "This is Charlie Frost reporting live from Yellowstone National Park soon to become the world's largest active volcano." "I'll be right back, folks." "Do you mind if I join you?" "I wanted to ask you something." "I only got a minute." "Hey." "Pickle?" "No." "I was listening to the broadcast and I was wondering what exactly is it that's gonna start in Hollywood?" "It's the apocalypse." "End of days." "The Judgment Day, the end of the world, my friend." "Christians called it the rapture, but the Mayans knew about it the Hopis, the I Ching the Bible, kind of...." "Beer?" "Yeah." "So look, I gotta eat." "Why don't you download my blog." "It's free." "Of course, we do appreciate donations." "In ancient times, the Mayan people were the first civilization to discover that this planet had an expiration date." "According to their calendar in the year 201 2, a cataclysmic event will unfold caused by an alignment of the planets in our solar system that only happens every 640,000 years." "Oh, not again." "Pretty neat, huh?" "I did all the animation myself." "Just imagine the Earth as an orange." "You lure them in with humor." "Then you make them think." "Our sun will begin to emit such extreme amounts of radiation" "Those little bastards are called neutrinos." "that the core of the Earth will melt." "That's the inside part of the orange leaving the crust of our planet free to shift." "In 1 958, Professor Charles Hapgood named it Earth Crust Displacement." "Albert Einstein did support it." "People, we'll get it all." "The forces of Mother Nature will be so devastating it will bring an end to this world on winter solstice, 1 2-21 -1 2." "Always remember, folks, you heard it first from Charlie Frost." "You'd have to keep a thing like this under wraps." "I mean, just think about it, okay?" "First, the stock market would go." "Then the economy, boom!" "The dollar, boom!" "And then pandemonium in the streets." "War, genocide, boom, boom, boom!" "Bullshit." "Nobody could keep that big a secret, Charlie." "Somebody would blow the whistle." "Every once in a while some poor little sucker tries." "Well, like these guys, boom, boom!" "Every one of these guys, dead, dead, dead." "That's Professor Meyers." "He ran the Atlantis shuttle program." "Why, did you know him?" "Yeah, he helped me with research on my book." "Well, that must have been before his "accident."" "Meyers is dead?" "Oh, yeah, two months ago." "He was one of my most avid listeners and he had it all figured out." "Everything the government was doing, where and why...." "He even sent me a map." "A map for what, Charlie?" "What's the map for?" "They're building spaceships, man." "Shit, man, I have to go because I gotta get back to Earth." "But do you got a traveler for the road?" "This is my last" "Oh, that'll be all right." "But, anyway, I really enjoyed most of this." "Thank you so much." "Hey." "Hey, guess what." "They're selling seats." "Put me down for three." "No, guys like you and me don't have a chance." "You'd have to be Bill Gates or Rupert Murdoch or some Russian billionaire or something." "Keep it down, my kids are sleeping." "Get them out of Yellowstone." "It's gonna get ugly here." "Why don't we make a baby?" "We're not making a baby in the supermarket." "Hey, hands off the merchandise." "Honey, women pay me thousands of dollars to handle their boobs." "You get it for free." "You always act strange after he shows up." "I'm not acting strange." "I'm looking for the macaroni." "So why did you stick with him so long?" "Can we just give it a rest, please?" "He's the father of my children." "Oh, come on, Kate." "You gave up med school so you could have Noah." "You practically raised him and Lilly by yourself while he sat writing that junk." "It's not junk." "He's published." "Oh, published, right, I forgot." "Four hundred and twenty-two copies." "Did you see that?" "See what?" "Hey, Kate." "Listen, we have to keep working at this, our relationship." "I mean, I don't know, honey." "I just feel like there's something pulling us apart." "Gordon!" "Hang on!" "Hang onto the pole!" "Kate." "Don't let go." "Oh, my God." "Hang on!" "Gordon!" "Do you have anything for mosquito bites?" "Before or after?" "I'd get before and after."

"The temperature of the subterranean crust that is, the cement that holds our land mass in place is increasing at a rapid rate, much faster than anticipated." "As a result, we've observed extreme polar instability." "The magnetic fields have decreased by more than 80 percent in the last 48 hours." "How much time do we have, Dr. Helmsley?" "Two, maybe three days, if we're lucky." "How can you speak about luck in such a situation?" "Apologies, Mr. Prime Minister. I...." "I meant no disrespect." "I'm afraid the longer we wait, the more luck plays its part." "My friends I recommend we evacuate immediately." "If any of you have objections please speak now."

"He's been right about everything that's happened so far." "And he said the government is building spaceships." "I don't know what, but something." "Ships?" "Yeah, places where we can be safe." "He knows where they are." "He's got a map." "Jackson." "Kate, you gotta just trust me on this, okay?" "Guys, look." "There's a twist and a turn To each lesson you learn" "First you're up, then you're bust Livin' life on a crust" "But it ain't the end of the world, buddy" "It's only the end of this song" "It's been a gas, been a flip Been a hell of a trip" "But it ain't the end of the world" "Oh, yeah." "Thank you." "You got fans, Tony." "There's a call for you." "You want me to take a message?" "No, that's all right, Kevin." "I got it." "Hello." "Dad?" "Adrian." "Remember when I told you about that dam in China?" "Yeah." "It's happening, Dad." "They'd probably shoot me if they knew that I told you." "Nobody's gonna shoot you, son." "They need you." "The president has ordered us to clear out the White House." "About time somebody cleaned up that mess." "Where are you, Dad?" "What exactly is the course of the Genesis right now?" "It's all good, Adrian." "Don't you be worrying about your old man now." "You got more important things to do now." "You know your mom and I, we...." "We had one hell of a great life, son." "And the best part about that is we had one hell of a great kid too." "Now, you lookie here." "The Genesis it's a pretty big ship, son." "So don't you write your old man off just yet." "Besides you know I couldn't leave Tony alone." "You know that old fool can't keep decent time by himself." "I love you, Dad." "I love you too, son." "God knows I do." "Kevin, I want a double." "Harry." "I need a double right now." "Thank you, son." "After 25 years on the wagon, are you out of your mind?" "What are you doing?" "Gotta go." "That's against regulation." "Careful, careful." "Anything?" "Yeah, there's fuel." "Fill it up." "I'm gonna find Charlie." "Daddy, wait." "I wanna come with you." "No, no." "Lil." "Lil, no!" "It's all right." "Just fill it up." "We'll be back." "Jackson, hurry, please." "I'm standing here at the highest point of what is the rim of the world's largest super-volcano..." "..." "Mount Bighorn, elevation 2779 feet." "Charlie!" "Charlie!" "Charlie!" "I can only hope that all of you have made your peace with God...." "He's gotta be around somewhere." "Let's go back." "No, no, no." "We gotta find Charlie because he's got a map." "It's like a secret map, like in the Pirate movies." "We gotta work as a team, okay?" "Okay." "Okay, come on." "Call Mommy and tell her we're gonna be 5 minutes late." "Hello?" "I need to talk to Mommy." "It's Lilly." "Sweetheart, where are you?" "Hi, Mommy." "Let me speak to Daddy, sweetie." "He can't talk right now." "He's driving really, really bad." "Any minute now, the fireworks are gonna start." "Who is that?" "Who's speaking in the car?" "He's not in the car." "He's on a mountain waiting for fireworks." "Fireworks?" "What fireworks?" "Daddy." "Daddy, over there." "to send all of Yellowstone into outer space?" "Good job, Lilly." "Good job." "Let me talk to Mom." "Kate, we got him." "Jackson, bring back my child now." "Okay." "You stay here and guard the ship..." "...and I'm gonna go talk to the pirate." "Okay." "your race, your country, your god." "Whether you're a Christian or a Buddhist or Muslim or Rastafarian..." "...by tomorrow we will all be one!" "Charlie." "Jackson." "What are you doing here?" "Yeah." "I thought you were toast." "No." "Where are the spaceships?" "There's no way you can make it there." "We have a plane." "You could come with us, but we gotta leave right now." "Fly, birdies." "Fly!" "is this your kid?" "Where's the goddamn map?" "We're going live." "Where is it?" "Charlie." "Focus." "Where's the map?" "Where?" "It's in the camper." "Where in the camper?" "In the map section on the conspiracy shelf." "Dewey decimal system." "Between Roswell and Marilyn Monroe." "It's starting." "You sure you don't wanna come with, man?" "It's so beautiful." "I'm gonna stay." "Good luck." "This marks the last day of the United States of America." "And, by tomorrow, all of mankind." "And we will be visible from the Milky Way as a tiny little puff of smoke." "I'm watching the earth crumble before my eyes." "The giant ash cloud created by this super-volcano will first envelop Vegas and then St. Louis and then Chicago and then, at long last Washington, D.C. will have its lights go out!" "That guy's crazy, right, Daddy?" "I don't think so." "This is ridiculous." "Been over half an hour." "I tell you, the guy's a nut job." "Stop it, Gordon." "Noah, hand me the phone again." "Daddy, what was that?" "Nothing." "Nothing." "I have goose bumps, people." "I wish you could see what I'm seeing, people." "I wish you could be here with me!" "Oh, baby." "Bring it on!" "Always remember, folks you heard it first from Charlie!" "Daddy, it's following us." "Don't look!" "Get on the ground." "Get on the ground and hold on." "Don't look back." "Don't look back." "Just look at me." "Look at me." "Do I look scared?" "Now, hold on, baby." "Hold on tight." "Daddy, we're on fire." "There it is!" "There they are." "It's them." "It's them." "It's them." "Mommy!" "Jeez." "No, Daddy." "Hang on, baby." "Hang on!" "No, Daddy!" "Oh, my Go" "Mommy." "Take her, take her." "I'll be right back." "Come here, Lil." "Grab my hand." "Come on, Lil." "Lilly, you okay?" "Aliens, Roswell and Marilyn Monroe" "Maps!" "Maps!" "Everybody on?" "Are we ready?" "Jackson!" "Kate, where is he?" "What's he doing?" "I don't know." "No!" "Daddy!" "No!" "Oh, my God." "Kate, we have to go." "No." "We're not going anywhere." "Kids, buckle up, we're leaving." "This is my dad." "We're gonna wait." "No!" "Daddy!" "Wait!" "Wait, Gordon, I see something." "Dad!" "It's Daddy!" "Slow down!" "Jackson, run!" "Jackson, take my hand." "Jackson." "Dad, hurry!" "Run!" "We're running out of runway." "For God's sakes, Kate, pull him up." "Jackson, reach for my hand." "Dad, you can make it, come on." "Daddy!" "All right, buckle in." "Here we go!" "Come on, faster." "Faster." "Hang on." "Go faster." "I'm trying." "Okay." "We're good!" "We're good." "We're okay." "So now that you got your map, where are we going?" "We're gonna need a bigger plane." "No, you just said that, Mom." "Yeah, you just said that." "You don't remember that you just said that?" "That's okay." "That's okay." "Listen, Ma, I am going to call you next week, same time." "Okay?" "You take care now." "Take care of yourself." "Sir?" "I think you need to see this." "I thought for sure they'd give you an extra ticket, sir." "They did." "But my mother is almost 89 she's in a wheelchair, and she's easily confused." "And I am confident that she would want to meet her maker on her own terms, okay?" "Yes, sir." "Who are you bringing?" "Nobody." "Who, my ex-wife?" "Last thing she said to me she never wanted to see me again." "So be it." "We need to bring people who can contribute." "The South American continent has been ravaged by a series of major earthquakes." "The death toll is expected to be well over 2 million people." "The devastation in Rio de Janeiro is beyond imagination." "Two 8.5 tremors have left the people in the streets desperately fighting for the last remaining resources." "In the last hour, we received this video from Globo News, Brazil." "Fear and chaos have spread throughout the globe, as in London where the 30th Olympic Games have just been suspended." "Hundreds of thousands are marching towards 1 0 Downing Street demanding a lift of the information blackout." "We've had thousands of calls." "We had to shut it down." "We're receiving reports from all across the globe." "Millions upon millions of distraught masses are gathering in public places, converging in desperate prayer." "Preachers of many religious denominations have taken their message of the end to the streets all over the U.S." "Repent." "There is still time." "Kind of galling when you realize that nutbags with their signs had it right." "All these people out there, sir shouldn't we be issuing warnings now?" "Only when the boarding process is complete." "That's the plan." "British Columbia, 201 0, remember?" "Sir." "Sir, those plans were drawn up two years ago." "Okay." "Everybody out." "Go on, get out." "Mary, get the door." "Wasn't it decided that people have the right to fight for their lives best way they can?" "After we get everyone on board, Adrian." "I think that's wrong." "Wha--?" "Just wanna tell everyone they're doomed?" "There'd be anarchy." "You wanna jeopardize the president?" "Come on." "Our mission is to assure the continuity of our species." "My question:" "Can I count on you?" "Can I?" "What?" "The Yellowstone caldera has erupted." "The ash cloud will reach Washington in roughly seven hours." "We've got to get the government airborne." "Where's the president, Sally?" "Said he wanted some time alone." "I think he's over at the chapel." "He's gotta go to church now?" "He's praying, sir." "Which, under the circumstances, is not such a bad idea." "Mr. President." "I need to get you on Air Force One immediately." "Give me a moment with Adrian." "No disrespect, but we simply do not have time." "Make time." "Did you ever meet my wife, Dorothy?" "No, sir." "I didn't have that honor." "She was in and out of it towards the end." "The night before she passed on, she took my hand and she told me:" ""I think you should have a lottery." "Everyone should have a chance to go."" "Maybe that's what we should have done." "I'll be the last president of the United States of America." "Do you know how that feels, son?" "No one could have saved the country, sir." "And I think...." "I think people have a right to know." "Don't worry, I'll take care of that." "Go on now." "Not without you, sir." "You get on that plane, son." "It's a brave new world you're heading to." "And a young scientist is gonna be worth 20 old politicians." "We should go to my parents' house in the Rockies." "This isn't one of your crazy stories." "How are we gonna make it to China?" "Gordon, without Jackson, we wouldn't have made it out of California." "Noah, please." "You, be careful with the landing gear." "Easy, gringo." "I know what I doing." "Attention." "The National Guard has informed us that an extremely hazardous ash cloud is headed for Las Vegas." "Hey, where are you going?" "Everyone move indoors immediately." "Sir, you can't stay here." "I have plane here." "It's not safe." "Move it!" "Move it!" "So you have positive confirmation on this?" "Thank you, I understand." "President's not coming." "So the captain doesn't want to abandon his sinking ship." "That's his choice." "And a noble one." "I have also just learned that the vice-president's chopper went down in the ash cloud outside of Pittsburgh." "Fortunately, we have protocols to follow." "What about the Speaker of the House?" "I have no idea." "Where is he?" "He's the commander in chief now, sir." "This is one flight he shouldn't have been late for." "Tell the captain we're taking off." "You don't have the authority." "Who's got authority?" "You've got the authority?" "You couldn't even keep your mouth shut." "You betrayed top-secret information last year." "What are you talking about?" "You told your father put this plan in jeopardy." "Good thing for you the old man could keep his mouth shut." "Oh, come on." "Don't look so shocked." "We had to monitor everybody." "How do you think we kept it a secret?" "We just killed anybody who tried to talk?" "Anybody who tried to talk was not just an enemy of the state, they're an enemy of humanity." "The director of the Louvre, an enemy of humanity?" "After he called a press conference he was!" "Jesus." "What did you think?" "We're all just gonna get on board, hold hands and sing "Kumbaya"?" "Sit down and buckle up." "Oh, excuse me." "is my father in the command center?" "President's on the line, Dr. Wilson." "Thank you." "Where are you?" "You never would have gotten on that plane if I told you." "But you said that you'd be" "Darling, listen to me." "Do you understand how much strength it gives me knowing that you'll survive?" "The only thing left to do now is tell the truth to people." "At least if they know families can say goodbye to each other." "A mother can comfort her children." "And a father can ask his daughter for forgiveness." "Whenever you're ready, Mr. President." "My fellow Americans this will be the last time I address you." "As you know catastrophe has struck our nation has struck the world." "I wish I could tell you we could prevent the coming destruction." "We cannot." "Today, none of us are strangers." "Today we are one family stepping into the darkness together." "We are a nation of many religions but I believe these words reflect the spirit of all of our faiths:" "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall" "People!" "Keep away from the doors and windows." "What are we gonna do?" "Where are we gonna go?" "Dr. Silberman." "Tamara." "What are you doing here?" "Excuse me." "She's a patient, honey." "Excuse me, I have a private plane out there." "Karpov!" "We need help." "Yuri!" "Takeoffs are canceled." "Curtis, you're" "You knew." "This whole time you knew." "So you've got a way out of here, right?" "You got a plane?" "My family, take us with." "Please." "Please." "Boss." "Boss." "I found us a plane, an Antonov." "They were about to take off, but the tower didn't let them." "But can you still fly that thing?" "Sure, boss." "But I need copilot." "Gordon's a pilot." "No, I'm not." "I'm not." "Yes, he is." "Great pilot." "Let's go." "Good." "Let's go!" "Honey, this is-- Jackson, stop saying I'm a pilot." "Hey!" "Hey, stop!" "You can't go out there." "Come back!" "Move back, people." "Get away from the glass!" "Wow, that's a big plane." "It's Russian." "Let's move, everybody." "Come on." "Run!" "Yeah, let's go, let's go." "Boys, come on." "Gordon, where are you?" "Where did you go?" "I'm up here in the cockpit." "Hurry up." "Oh, my God." "Not again." "Whoa, look at these." "Las Vegas Auto Show." "We had VIP tickets for that." "That's fantastic." "Let's go." "Check the main bus for hydraulics, I'll balance the tanks." "What?" "Okay, okay, okay." "I'm trying, okay?" "I'm trying." "Tower to Antonov." "What are you doing?" "Shut down immediately." "Caesar." "Okay, when I say go, you push all this down at once, okay?" "Okay." "Go!" "Antonov, abort takeoff." "You do not have clearance." "You must abort." "I repeat, you must abort." "No!" "What the hell was that?" "I don't know, but it's not good." "Push." "Pushing." "Come on!" "We're going down!" "We're going down!" "Where are the flaps?" "The flaps are not down." "It must be the pumps." "Take over." "Take over?" "What do you mean, take over?" "Sasha!" "Relax!" "Sit down!" "God." "God." "Jesus." "Oh, God." "Okay, I think I got it." "Sasha, now!" "Okay, okay." "Take a deep breath." "Pull!" "Come on, baby." "Lift your big ass for Sasha!" "Pull!" "Pull!" "Come on." "Mommy." "Was that the Eiffel Tower?" "I think so." "Ladies and gentlemen we are on our way to China." "Good." "That is good, huh?" "Do not believe in something simply because you have heard it, Nima." "But, great Lama, Tenzin is my brother." "He works inside the big tunnel, where the ships are built." "But what is there in your wisdom, great Lama, if Tenzin is right?" "What if our world is indeed coming to an end?" "it is full, great Rinpoche." "Like this cup you are full of opinions and speculations." "To see the light of wisdom you first must empty your cup." "Be careful with the clutch." "it tends to slip." "Grandma." "Grandpa, Nima is here!" "Grandma, I got a message from Tenzin." "He wants us to meet him in Cho Ming at the west gate." "He says he can get us on the ships he's working on." "What are you talking about?" "Tenzin works on the dam." "Grandma the dam is a ship!" "The government lied to us." "There will be a big flood!" "We must pack up right away." "Nima, he gave you the truck?" "We took a trip on the Laem Song ferry once." "Grandpa threw up the whole way." "Let's eat first." "Hey, look." "The new Bentley." "Our father had one on order." "We were supposed to get it next year." "But then he canceled it because of the ships." "How many cars does your family have?" "My mom's boyfriend has a Porsche." "Our parents are divorced too." "Yeah, but there's nothing we can do about that." "Found a hat." "She has a thing for hats." "I was just like that at her age." "They made me feel safe." "So how did you meet Dr. Silberman?" "As you can see, not the same way you did." "My boyfriend asked me to get them done." "He's not your husband?" "Oh, no." "We are not married." "And probably never will." "For the boys." "They seem to like each other, huh?" "She is adorable." "Yeah, I guess." "So tell me, Mr. Karpov, how much did you pay?" "One billion euro." "Per seat." "That's disgusting." "Oh, yeah?" "You know, Curtis, I wasn't always businessman." "I am a boxer." "Was my only playing when I was boy back in Murmansk." "And my coach, his name was also Yuri." "He always said:" ""lf someone wants to beat you, he has to kill you first."" "That's very nice." "Yeah." "But tell me, what would you have done if you rich like me?" "Look." "They are wonderful children, huh?" "Okay, guys." "The plan is to refuel in Hawaii, so sit down and buckle up." "Gordon and I will do the rest." "Oh, God." "Go get the guys." "Guys, there's a-- You might wanna...." "What is that?" "The state of Hawaii." "Not good." "That is not good." "How much fuel do we have left?" "Not enough." "We're going to have to make a water landing somewhere in South China Sea." "Great." "At least we're not gonna need the landing gear." "What about it?" "Oh, we lost it all. in Vegas." "Dr. Wilson, may I come in?" "I'm not very good company, I'm afraid, Dr...?" "Please, call me Adrian." "All those people we left behind they don't stand a chance, do they?" "I believe that nature will choose for itself from itself what will survive." "Just like you preserving those great artworks." "Our culture is our soul, and that's not dying tonight." "Oh, come on." "I contributed to this cover-up." "And Da Vinci, Picasso, they're in." "But you're some nobody, you don't stand a chance." "That's not" "That's not necessarily true." "You ever hear of a writer called Jackson Curtis?" "Wrote a book, Farewell Atlantis." "What do you think the chances are of an unknown writer who barely sold 500 copies, making it aboard this plane?" "I don't understand." "I mean, call it chance or fate or nature." "it doesn't matter." "This book is part of our legacy now." "Why?" "Because I'm reading it." "Dr. Helmsley, please report to the Situation Room immediately." "Hello." "I'm sorry." "Who is this?" "This is Yoko Delgatto." "Do you wanna speak to my daddy?" "Yes, please." "Who should I say is calling?" "Tell him it's his father." "You're my grandpa?" "Yes, sweetheart, I am." "Daddy, Daddy, Grandpa's on the phone." "Mr. President, sir." "Mr. President." "What's the matter, sweetie?" "She can't find her daddy." "Why don't you two get comfy on that couch?" "Sally, come help them out, okay?" "I'll find your daddy." "Who can help me with missing persons?" "Sorry, man." "I'm really busy right now." "I mean" " Of course, sir." "Sorry, Mr. President." "Don't worry about it." "You're doing a great job, son." "What?" "The capital's been hit by a 9.4." "We've lost communication." "Where's it centered?" "North Chesapeake Bay." "Mr. Anheuser, the Russian president's on the line, sir." "Excuse me." "We just entered Chinese airspace." "That's affirmative, Mr. President." "Until communication is restored, I suppose I am in command." "it appears that all other heads of state are en route with the exception of the Italian prime minister who has also decided to stay behind and trust in prayer." "The Earth's crust has begun to shift, Dr. Helmsley." "By what degree?" "1 .2 degrees, but it's still moving." "So, what happens next?" "Once the movement of our land masses comes to a halt" "Let's see a simulation, Scotty." "expect the formation of gigantic tsunamis proportional to the magnitude of the corresponding quakes." "Pull up the Japanese seaboard, will you?" "Yes, sir." "My dad's on a cruise ship out here." "But I guess you already knew that, huh?" "Sir, we recorded two underwater quakes at 7.9 and 8.2." "From what we have just learned Tokyo seems to have taken the full force of the earthquake." "At this point, unconfirmed reports indicate that large areas of land are underwater." "Please stay tuned for further" "Tony-- l called." "I was too late." "Maybe they got out in time." "You never know." "They" "Harry!" "I'm coming home, Dorothy." "Anything?" "Nothing." "Just static." "Not even an emergency signal." "Can't think about what's going on down there." "Remember that old Beetle we used to camp in?" "We could never get the roof up." "Yeah." "We definitely traded up." "Tried to find our old spot at Yellowstone when I went camping with the kids but I couldn't find it." "Do you think people change?" "By "people," do you mean me?" "Yes." "Do you think you've changed since we separated?" "I certainly eat a lot more cereal now." "You always had tunnel vision." "You could just block everything out and write." "You blocked us out." "Do you love him?" "I love him enough." "All global ground communication has ceased, sir." "The only signals our satellites are picking up are coming from the vessels in Cho Ming." "Well, there's a piece of good news." "Any updates, doctor?" "We expect the tsunamis to reach landfall in every continent." "The Cho Ming area will be impacted in approximately six hours." "it looks like the crust has shifted by almost 23 degrees to the southwest." "The data also shows the Earth's poles have reversed their magnetic fields." "These are their new positions." "So you're...." "You're telling me that the North Pole is now somewhere in Wisconsin?" "Actually, that's the South Pole now." "Engine failure." "Two of the six are down." "We must get ready." "How long do we have?" "Fifteen minutes." "Maybe." "Better wake up the kids." "Yeah." "Why do you hate Gordon?" "Hey." "Come on." "What are you talking about?" "I don't hate him." "Well, you don't like him, either." "Well, that's just because I don't know him that well, maybe." "Yeah, but I do." "He's really nice once you get to know him." "You should talk to him more often." "You guys would get along really, really well." "You like him a lot, huh?" "I'll do my best, I promise." "Okay?" "I'm really proud of you." "Really, really proud of you." "is it time?" "Yeah." "Dad, what's wrong?" "Well, Sasha said we gotta land and it's gonna be a little bumpy and maybe a little wet." "Daddy?" "Hold her steady." "Daddy, I'm not a really good swimmer." "Hey, no, that's all right." "That's what you got this for." "Right?" "it's like being in a swimming pool, only it's got more cool stuff." "Look, it's got a whistle, and a light thing." "Right?" "I thought we were going to China." "No, we gotta land here." "So we're just all gonna stay together, right?" "No, we're not, we're gonna die." "No." "We're not." "Promise?" "I promise you we're gonna all stay together no matter what happens, okay?" "Jackson." "Yuri." "I think you better come up here." "I'm gonna go check this out." "Dad." "Where are you going?" "I'll be back." "You said you'd stay with us." "We gotta buckle up." "Let's go." "Okay, don't ask me how that happened but there is no more ocean and we're close to where we wanted to go." "it's like the world shifted by 1 000 miles." "One thousand five hundred and seventy-eight to be exact." "it's called Earth Crust Displacement Theory." "Professor Hapgood, 1 958." "Way to go, Charlie." "What was that?" "We just lost our last two engines." "I'm gonna shoot for that glacier." "it's gonna get rocky." "Listen, this is gonna sound crazy, but here's what you have to do." "Unbuckle." "Come on, come on, come on." "Yuri!" "What are we doing?" "We are taking the Bentley." "Not yet." "Not yet." "it has to be perfect." "Almost there." "Come on." "Get in the car." "Okay, go." "Now." "Pull." "No, no, no!" "Go." "Go, Jackson." "No, we gotta wait for Sasha and Gordon." "Go." "Make sure everybody gets out of the plane before I touch down." "What about you?" "I'll be fine." "I have to touch this baby down." "What are you waiting for?" "Go!" "Go!" "There he is." "I see him." "Where is Sasha?" "Where is Sasha?" "Come on." "Let's go." "He said he's fine." "We should get out of here before he touches down." "No, no, no." "Don't go." "We have to wait for him." "Go, Jackson." "Go." "Don't go!" "it won't start. it won't start." "Just shut up, everybody!" "Engine start." "Voice control." "Sold me on it." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Welcome to the People's Republic of China." "Good to be here." "Say hi, kids." "Hi." "Hi." "What color are your passes?" "What color are your boarding passes?" "I have green card." "For my boys and me." "What?" "Yuri." "Yuri." "Yuri, it's a mistake." "A joke, right?" "What?" "You think I didn't know about you and Sasha?" "May God bless that poor bastard's soul." "I'm sorry, guys." "Good luck." "Come on, boys." "Does anybody have any money?" "I do, I do." "You got a billion euros?" "Dr. Wilson?" "I'm Captain Michaels, skipper of the American ship." "Please accept my condolences for your father." "Thank you, captain." "Mr. Anheuser, your party is the last to arrive." "There've been reports of severe damage, captain." "What's the status of Ark Number 3?" "We haven't done a complete assessment yet but it looks like we lost it." "No toothbrush." "Only books." "Yeah, when I was a kid, my dad was on the road a lot." "He would always leave me a box full of books call me every night and quiz me." "I'd get an ice-cream cone for every book I read so I was a fat kid." "I find that very hard to believe." "No, it's true." "My high school career was 2000 books and zero girlfriends." "I didn't even kiss a boy till I was in college." "They were all too scared of my dad." "Leave it to the Chinese." "I didn't think it was possible." "Not in the time we had." "That's Ark Number 3, sir." "The roof collapsed on it during the shifting of the Earth's crust." "Jesus Christ." "Boarding of Ark Number 3 will be delayed due to technical difficulties." "Excuse me." "We paid a fortune!" "Please be patient as we keep you updated." "Hey, what's going on here?" "I have a green card for my boys and me." "I want to speak to a supervisor." "I am the supervisor." "Get back with the other green cards or I'll have you detained." "What he said about you and Sasha, is it true?" "Sasha was worth 1 00 times a man like Yuri." "I should have listened to you, Dr. Silberman." "I actually liked the way I looked before that monster talked me into it." "Did you know he asked me for a discount?" "And he paid in installments." "Cheap bastard." "You hear that?" "Over there!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Please!" "Hey!" "Hold it!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Help!" "Hey!" "How were all these people chosen?" "Same way your art was:" "By experts from all over the world." "We had geneticists determine the perfect gene pool to repopulate." "These people were chosen by geneticists?" "All green-card holders, please proceed to Gallery D-4." "Looks like their checkbooks got them onboard." "Right." "Without billions of dollars from the private sector this would've been impossible." "We sold tickets." "And what about all these workers?" "They all get passes?" "What, life isn't fair?" "is that it?" "You wanna donate your passes to a couple of Chinese workers you be my guest." "Captain, I want a prelaunch briefing." "All international teams present." "What the hell?" "What is this?" "You could fit 1 0 people in here." "Satnam, where are you?" "On the Nampan Plateau." "What?" "There's a tidal wave coming from the east." "it's gigantic." "Satnam, what happened?" "We never got picked up, Adrian." "The airlift never came." "Goodbye, my friend." "Satnam." "The flooding is coming this way?" "Mary." "Where are we set up?" "Over there." "Get me the satellite images from Nampan, India." "Okay, right away." "What's happening?" "No." "Satnam was talking about another wave..." "Holy mother." "The flooding is gonna hit earlier?" "is that what you're telling me?" "The second wave is closer?" "Plug in the new data." "Okay." "Satnam didn't get picked up." "What?" "A lot of people didn't get picked up in this chaos." "This is not a conspiracy, Helmsley." "Your predictions haven't exactly panned out, have they, doctor?" "it's ready. it's ready." "Oh, God. it's 1 500 meters high." "When's it gonna get here?" "Talk to me, Helmsley." "When's it gonna hit?" "Adjust the countdown." "Twenty-eight minutes, 1 0 seconds to impact." "Oh, my God." "Captain, I need to speak to the other heads of state immediately." "Right away." "Taylor?" "Aye, captain." "Standing by." "Ark 6, stand by." "Ark 7, stand by." "Carl Anheuser, acting CIC, Ark 4." "Yes, sir." "Requesting emergency conference, T-99." "He thinks the world of you, you know that?" "He's a great little man." "Yeah." "I always wanted to have a family of my own." "You're a lucky man, Jackson." "Don't ever forget it." "Who are they?" "We found them along side of the road." "Send them back!" "I am a follower of our great Lama Rinpoche." "You know I cannot do that." "What's the problem?" "You don't have to take all of us." "Just take my children." "I'm begging you." "Why should I do that?" "The same reason you sent for your family." "Please." "Just the children." "You don't have to take us." "Please!" "Please." "Oh, my God." "Please." "I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying." "As a mother, I'm begging you." "Please take them." "Please." "We are all children of the earth." "My plan will not work for so many, Grandma." "We will take them all." "Please." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Attention:" "All construction workers, off deck." "All crew members, onboard now." "They're opening the mountain." "They are leaving without us." "Step back." "Get back." "What did I tell you?" "They are leaving you behind too." "Look, idiot." "Please be patient." "Let's go." "Follow me." "We have to hurry!" "They are leaving!" "initiate security procedures." "Time to impact:" "1 7 minutes, 42 seconds." "Oh, excuse me." "Where can I find Adrian Helmsley?" "He's on the bridge." "This way." "Tenzin wait!" "Grandma, we're almost there." "Green lights on pressure, Mr. Anton?" "Green lights across the board, captain." "Why do they have anchors?" "Because they're not spaceships, buddy." "They're arks." "Let's go." "Mr. President." "You've got to see this." "Stop." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Engage the support mechanisms." "Aye, aye, captain." "Engaging bow-anchor supports." "How long are these things expecting to hold us in place?" "They're just meant to withstand the first impact of the waves." "Down there Oleg, you go first!" "Caesar." "Good." "Good boy." "Come to Mommy." "Caesar!" "Mom, where's Tamara?" "Daddy look!" "Come on." "Caesar, come on." "Tamara!" "I'm coming." "Take him." "Oh, my God." "What's happening out there?" "Anheuser." "Anheuser convinced the other heads of state to launch." "Mr. Anheuser." "We have to stop this madness." "Make sure the other bridges can see me." "What do you think you're doing?" "I know what I'm doing." "Turn it on." "Ladies and gentlemen, this Dr. Adrian Helmsley chief science advisor to the late President Wilson." "Could you please turn up the volume, Mr. Hoffmann?" "We've all been forced to make difficult decisions to save our human civilization." "But to be human means to care for each other and civilization means to work together to create a better life." "If that's true, then there's nothing human and nothing civilized about what we're doing here." "Dr. Helmsley's passion is admirable." "But I will remind you that we have very limited resources and limited time." "Ask yourselves, can we really stand by and watch these people die?" "I read a quote two days ago." "The author is probably dead by now, but he said:" ""The moment we stop fighting for each other that's the moment that we lose our humanity."" "To save the human race we have an obligation to stick to this plan which every nation on this flotilla has signed up for." "We have to let these people in!" "They're in God's hands now." "Officer, you turn that off." "That is an order." "Turn it off!" "Don't you dare touch that button." "Have you completely lost your mind?" "Look at the clock." "We have barely 1 5 minutes left." "Do you wanna be responsible for the extinction of the human race?" "Can you handle that, Adrian?" "There's a young astrophysicist from India..." "...who's the reason we're all here." "Oh, for God's sake." "He's the one who discovered it all." "He connected all the dots." "We all owe him our lives." "I just learned that he was killed with his family in a tsunami in eastern India." "He was my friend." "And he died in vain." "Everybody out there has died in vain if we start our future with an act of cruelty." "What will you tell your children?" "What will they tell theirs?" "If my father were here, he would open the gates." "The people of Russia along with China and Japan, agree." "Open the gates." "The United Kingdom, Spain, France, Canada, Germany and I believe I may also speak for the Italian prime minister we vote to let these people come in." "Captain Michaels." "Please." "This is the captain." "in a few moments, we will open the gates and get you people in." "Please step back and clear the platform." "P-yew, it stinks." "They are opening the gates." "Go." "Go." "Climb!" "Don't look down!" "Climb!" "Go!" "Noah." "Noah." "Get down." "Mom." "Mom, something happened." "Hold on!" "Hold on!" "Hold on!" "Gordon, hold on, goddamn it!" "Give me your hand!" "Give me your hand." "Reach!" "Help!" "Reach for it!" "Gordon!" "Please." "Please." "Please." "Gordon!" "Gordon!" "Gordon!" "No!" "God." "Pull me up." "Come on!" "What's wrong with the gate?" "Looks like it didn't run the full cycle." "We're checking, captain." "Hold it." "Hold it, people." "Four minutes to impact." "Go to the lower deck." "Let's go." "We are loaded, captain." "Well, then let's lock it up." "Now." "Oleg." "Grab my hand." "Oleg." "No, no." "Papa!" "Papa!" "Papa!" "Something's jamming the hydraulics." "Then get it out, for Chris sake." "I can't fire up the engines till we get a good seal on that gate." "Captain, we have a breach in the zoological bay." "Can you zoom in?" "Yeah." "I know those kids." "What is happening?" "What's going on?" "Where did they come from?" "There." "Through the hydraulic chamber." "Captain, I think we found the problem." "Who are these people?" "No, wait." "He's injured." "Something must have gone wrong." "Something must have gone wrong?" "Something must have gone--?" "Are you kidding me?" "Of course something went wrong!" "You know, congratulations to both of you." "Might of gotten us killed, but as long as your conscience is clean." "Let's get a team down there." "I'll meet them at the hydraulics chamber." "You know your way?" "Yeah." "Let's go!" "One minute to impact." "Captain, Cho Ming Airfield's been hit." "Put me on emergency com, Mr. Taylor." "Aye." "You're on, captain." "This is the captain speaking." "We expect to be impacted by water shortly." "We need to go this way." "All new passengers:" "Hit the deck, brace yourselves." "Okay, let's go!" "Excuse me." "Excuse us." "Excuse us." "Brace yourselves!" "Coming through, excuse me." "All stations, prepare for impact." "Come on, boys." "Go, go, go!" "This way!" "Let's go!" "Go, go!" "Collision pressure just below 80 pascal, captain." "0.2 mil surface compression on bow sensors, captain." "All right, track Dr. Helmsley." "There." "Come on." "I got you!" "Get out of the way!" "We have to get through here." "Excuse me." "Tenzin, almost there." "Nima, what happened?" "Tamara." "Will you take the kids to the stairs, please?" "Which way?" "We can't get there." "Water has penetrated the stern." "The rear of the ship is starting to seal itself up one compartment at a time!" "Where's Gordon?" "No?" "No." "We gotta go back." "We gotta go back!" "We need to go back!" "No!" "Lilly!" "Mommy!" "Lilly!" "Help, Daddy!" "Run, Lilly!" "Run!" "Lilly, run!" "Go, go!" "Go over, Lilly." "Caesar." "Lilly, take him." "Mommy!" "Oh, no." "Sir, is there another way to the hydraulics chamber?" "Where does this ladder go?" "To the zoological bay!" "Okay, okay, let's go." "Professor it's Air Force One." "The mid-ship anchor is hit." "We're destabilizing." "The bow anchor's giving in." "Captain, the turbine's not responding." "So override it." "Hit the override button and start the engines." "We can't start the engine until we close that gate." "Help me!" "Help!" "Tamara!" "You okay?" "My mommy's in there." "Help her." "We'll get to your mommy." "They're doing everything they can." "Can we talk to them?" "I'm gonna try and connect us." "We have to stop the bleeding." "Mom, how about my belt?" "Mr. Curtis!" "Jackson!" "Hey!" "Help!" "Hey!" "it's Adrian Helmsley." "We met at Yellowstone." "That's great!" "Open the goddamn door!" "Your daughter is with me!" "Lilly!" "Lilly!" "Where's Noah?" "I'm right here, Lil." "impact warning." "Thirty degrees west." "Forty-five degrees east." "Target elevation, 29,035 feet." "Twenty-nine thousand feet?" "What the hell is at 29,000 feet?" "We're headed straight for the north face of Mount Everest, Mr. Anheuser." "And if we can't start our engines, we will not survive the impact." "Jackson, you're sealed off." "We can't get to you!" "There's something blocking the hydraulics." "If you can't get it out, none of us are gonna make it." "Dr. Helmsley, look at this." "it is completely submerged down there." "There'd be no way to get any air." "There's no other way." "But it's a suicide mission, sir." "I know where it is, I'll give it a try." "Dad." "Wait, I wanna go with you." "No, Noah." "Dad." "I wanna help you." "No, no." "You are helping me, buddy." "Dad, please." "Remember when Lilly was born and you wanted to be introduced as her big brother?" "Well, she's scared now, and she needs you more than ever." "And if you're safe I know that she's safe." "Do you understand?" "You can help me out the next time." "Come on." "Kate, we caused this thing, it was us." "Gotta go check it out." "Okay." "I love you." "Please!" "Can you hear me?" "Help!" "Press down." "Press down with your hand." "Don't stop." "Keep pressing." "Noah!" "Distance to impact: 1 850 meters." "There he is!" "Captain, we have a visual!" "I think we found the problem." "Show us the hydraulic chamber!" "Goddamn it, I told you to stay up there with Mom." "I just wanted to help." "All right, all right." "You hold the light but from right here, right in the air pocket, okay?" "You're a crazy little dude." "Grandma, Grandpa." "I'm sorry." "I could not save us." "He has gone back in." "He will fix it." "There's no way." "Don't lose your faith, brother." "Dad!" "No, we lost him." "We're gonna die." "We're gonna die." "Great job." "You light the way, I'll go for the cable." "Okay." "Distance to impact: 400 meters." "Underwater ridge ahead." "We're going to run aground, captain." "Yeah!" "Sir, the gate is sealed." "That's affirmative, captain." "Anton, start the engine." "Aye, aye, captain." "Full reverse." "Too fast!" "We're not gonna make it." "Distance to impact: 50 meters." "Forty meters." "Reverse motion activated." "Distance to impact: 1 0 meters." "Twenty meters." "Yes!" "Hard to port." "Aye, captain." "Hard to port." "We did it." "We did it." "We did it." "Where's your dad?" "He was right behind me." "Any word from the hydraulic chamber?" "Where is he?" "I thought you said he was behind you." "He was." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "He was right there." "Dad." "Come on, Jackson." "Come on." "Please, God." "Please, please." "Please, please, please." "Come on, Jackson." "Oh, my" "He did it!" "Daddy!" "He did it!" "He did it." ""Shuttle Atlantis." "Our last day." "All we can hear is the sound of our own breathing that reminds us we are still sharing our memories, hopes and ideas." "And isn't it funny, just this morning, we worked it out:" "Somehow or another, we all have relatives in Wisconsin." "The end."" "it's good." "I thought you'd like it." "Tell me, Dr. Wilson apart from books and art do you think there's anything else we might possibly share in the future?" "Are you asking me out on a date, Dr. Helmsley?" "Because, you know, my diary is pretty full." "Actually yes, I was." "Dr. Helmsley to the bridge, please." "Dr. Helmsley to the bridge." "Come here." "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain Michaels speaking." "in a few minutes I will give orders to unseal the decks." "Come on." "At 2345 last night our sister arks, Numbers 6 and 7, have joined our course." "For the first time on our journey we'll have clear skies and moderate-to-good air quality." "As you know, our passenger count is way over capacity." "So please be careful when you step out." "And of course, enjoy the fresh air." "Can I hold him?" "Sure." "He can be your dog too, if you like." "Thanks." "Where have you been all my life?" "Gift shop." "Oh, Adrian, excellent." "I called because we just got our first satellite feed." "The equalization of the oceanic seabeds has not turned out to be as extreme as we expected." "The waters are receding much faster than we thought, thank God." "And this is hard to believe but the Himalayas are no longer the roof of the world." "it's now the Drakensberg mountains of KwaZulu-Natal." "The entire African continent has risen." "Several thousand feet, and it likely never even flooded." "That's why they call it the Cape of Good Hope." "We've already set course for it." "Daddy, when will we go back home?" "Well, we talked about that." "We're gonna find a new home out here somewhere, right?" "I mean, wherever we're all together, that's home." "Right?" "Don't be scared." "I'm not." "No more Pull-Ups." "Nice."
