Original subtitles

Wake up, Victor.

No sleeping your last day on the job.

36 more hours,

and I'll be on my second honeymoon.

Venice, here I come,

and I can't wait.

No more scrubbing frozen snot off my face.

No more cataloguing useless cryoseism

for credits,

and no more spooning with Brad

to stay warm at night.

You love it.

Come on, admit it, Victor,

you'll miss us when you're gone.

This calls...

For a going-away toast.

I won't say no.

Hey, Brad, you might want to look at that.

Winds are blowing hard from the north,

but other than that,

nothing.

Everything looks normal.

Stay warm out there.

Toodle-oo.

Victor...

I hope your wife gets pregnant first try.

Yeah...

Voila.

To Brad.

To Brad.

Uh-oh.

Poor Brad.

That's three transmitters out.

That is not a good omen.

Now what?

What now?

That can't be right.

Have you ever seen the temperature drop that fast?

Victor, did you say the wind was blowing north?

Victor?

This thing's not working.

Brad, can you hear me? Do you copy?

Come back.

Yeah, we need to go after him.

His lungs are gonna freeze

if he's out there much longer.

There's no time, look at that.

Brad, do you copy?

Move!

Brad!

Brad!

Run, Brad! Run! Run!

Come on, Brad! Come on!

That's it, come on!

Get up!

No!

Close the door, or we're both gonna die!

This is it, family,

my home away from home.

Our home away from home.

Our home away from home,

I stand corrected.

So how long have we... We've been coming here

for over 20 years, now, Jordy.

Since before you were even born.

It's Jordan, dad.

You should know, you named me.

And by the looks of this place,

I guess I should be glad

that you've never dragged me

on one of your...

Emergency trips.

Oh, Jordan!

You know what, babe,

I didn't think our boy had the stamina

to be able to complain

all the way from south Florida to Alaska,

but he's managed it.

It's impressive.

It is, even for a teenager, it's amazing.

You said I could spend break in Cabo

with Rory.

We said you could go to Cabo

before that stunt you pulled

got you suspended.

You don't get to screw up

and then go to Cabo.

It doesn't work that way.

You made your bed, pal.

All right, first off,

that so-called stunt was hilarious.

And Rory was just as guilty as me,

and where is he right now?

Cabo.

Okay, here's an idea,

when we get back to Florida,

you can ask Rory's parents to adopt you.

I like that idea.

Yeah? Yeah. Problem solved.

You are, you're a problem-solver, babe.

I gotta get outta here.

Mr. and Mrs. summers!

It's so good to see you.

How was your drive?

Long.

I mean, we're used to coming up here

in the summertime,

so the ice and snow is, well, a bit much.

I bet.

It's not what you're used to in Miami, is it?

Wait, you guys know each other?

Yes, we do.

Jordy, this is Claire.

Claire, this is our son, Jordy.

Jordan.

But... hi.

Yeah, Claire's grandparents

built the b&b.

Oh, they make you work here?

That sucks.

Oh, no, they don't make me.

Uh, I like working here.

Apparently, it's in my blood.

Are your parents here, Claire?

'Cause we'd love to take them out for dinner.

No, they're in new Mexico

at a hotel and b&b conference.

We were actually going to close the place up this week

till they got your call.

Do you have Wifi?

Um, say, we, uh...

Well, I gotta work in the morning,

and Candace is volunteering at the clinic.

I wonder, if you wouldn't mind,

perhaps you can show this guy around

a little bit.

Dad!

Uh... I'd love to give him a tour, Mr. summers.

Um, how about...

Tomorrow at 9:00?

I live downstairs,

so it's easy.

Okay, well, that's settled.

I'm going to head upstairs

and, uh, unwind.

I'm just going to grab

a few more things from the truck.

- See you later. - Yeah, see you later.

- Want to fire these upstairs? - Yeah, sure.

Don't forget that, too.

Are you gonna...

Uh, yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah. See you tomorrow.

Wow.

Up before noon on a weekend?

I'm shocked.

Jordan summers, what have you done with my real son?

Very funny.

Now I remember.

Claire said to meet you here at 9:00.

Why is it you're never punctual when I need you to be?

Don't answer that.

Speaking about being on time,

we are meeting your dad for dinner tonight,

so, meet me at the clinic at 5:30.

We'll walk over together, okay?

Claire can tell you how to get there.

Yup.

Seriously, Jordy.

You are on your last leg here.

It took a lot of convincing on our part

to keep you from getting kicked out of school.

So?

That school sucks.

You should have just let them expel me.

"So"?

What about your friends and your teammates,

not to mention your entire future?

Oh, Jordy...

You are gonna have to start caring about something,

sometime real soon.

Life is so wasted when you don't.

Sure, mom.

We're not done talking about this.

Morning.

Morning, Claire.

- Hey. - Hi.

Did you sleep okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I did.

Well, uh... shall we?

Yes, please.

5:30, Jordy.

Okay, mom.

Bye.

Have fun.

December 21st,

Pemberton forest.

I've been in the migratory area of the rusty blackbird

for approximately the last three hours

and have not seen birds of any kind.

I am utterly baffled by this.

Generally, this time of year,

there'd be hundreds of them in these woods.

I'm not really sure what to do right now.

Where are you?

What happened to you, little fella?

Where are all your friends?

Looks like I'm going to be late for dinner.

Oh, yeah.

Sorry, the only spare I have

is my brother's mini bike.

Wouldn't your brother be pissed if I'm using this?

I'd be.

Um.. Not unless you call him at college

and tell him.

You could keep it while you're here

if you want.

God, yeah.

Where is everybody?

It's the off-season.

So, this is downtown Pemberton.

And, uh, pretty much the only hotel we have

is right here.

And then there's a grocery store

around the corner,

but it's got pretty much everything.

And there's Fiona.

She used to baby-sit me when I was a kid.

She taught me how to quad,

how to do a French manicure.

She's the best.

So, the only exciting things

you can show me in this town

is a hotel and a grocery store?

Oh...

I should be in Cabo right now.

Poor Miami.

You want to sit in the sunshine

drinking brewskies with your bros?

Can't hack the real weather, huh?

Come on, I'll buy you a hot chocolate.

Okay.

So...

How come you've never come up here

with your parents before?

Work trips.

Well, you could have made it happen

if you wanted it to.

Well, I guess they didn't want me

roaming around the wilderness unsupervised.

You know...

They talk about you all the time.

Yeah, sure.

No, really, they...

Whoa!

What the hell was that?

That was Mr. Watson,

our resident Jeff Gordon.

He's pretty mean,

and he also drinks and drives,

so I'd avoid him if I were you.

Come on, Miami.

Bet you've never seen a real dump before.

Anything to get off these menacing streets.

Hello?

Hello!

Didn't mean to barge in, I...

Sorry, I... I knocked, but nobody answered.

Roger summers.

It's Tim.

I, uh, I was just wondering if you might have a phone.

I'm not getting any reception,

and I'm late for dinner with my wife and son.

It's on the wall.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

And this is the clinic that your mom helps out at

every summer.

People round here would go without medical treatment

until it got real bad

if she didn't.

Civilization is a long way away.

So, um...

You wouldn't want to maybe

hang out again tomorrow, would you?

I don't know if I can.

I'm pretty busy with the b&b.

Oh.

No, yeah, no, it's...

It's no biggie.

I'm kidding.

You're the only guest.

Right.

So, would you be up

for something a little more backwoodsy?

Think you can handle a real winter, Jordy?

Oh, I can handle it.

I stopped shivering

after my third cup of hot chocolate, remember?

This time, you're gonna want your mittens.

Right.

Well, if you just let her know that I called,

and tell her I'm sorry

I'm not going to make it for dinner.

All right, thank you.

Get ahold of your wife?

Uh, no, she was just with a patient.

I left a message with the nurse.

You're, uh,

you're Dr. Tim Hughes,

emergency climate coalition.

I was.

I left the scientific community a long time ago.

Looks like you left everything else, too.

And why not?

The planet is dying, Roger,

and we're the ones killing it,

and no one wants to do anything to reverse it,

because everybody is making too much money.

It seems to me that you were making a difference.

Kyoto.

Emissions controls.

A lot of that happened because you raised your voice.

It's like bailing out the Titanic with a soup spoon.

Well, you gotta start somewhere, I figure.

We're dead men walking,

and no one seems to care.

Do you think that it could happen all at once?

What?

The climate disasters that you forecast.

The rusty blackbird's numbers have been decreasing rapidly.

This year, they migrated early.

Today, I found this.

It's frozen solid.

It gets cold up here at night.

It's not that cold.

Something's very, very wrong.

What's that, north of town?

It's a research outpost.

It's run by multiple universities,

couple of government agencies.

Basically, they study the weather,

seismic activity, tagging animals.

Whatever they gotta do

to spend Grant money.

I wonder if they might have some data

that might help me figure out what's going on here.

How long would it take me to get up there?

Depends on how you intend to travel.

On foot?

Are you gonna go now?

Well, if I come back tomorrow,

then I'm going to have to travel twice the distance.

It's getting dark out there.

Can't let you do that.

You can bunk down here tonight,

and I'll take you in the morning by snowmobile.

Well, I'd appreciate that.

I'm gonna have to use your phone again.

Knock yourself out.

So, how was your date?

It wasn't a date,

but it was fine.

Not so bad here after all, is it?

Dr. summers,

your husband called twice.

Once to say that he wouldn't make it back tonight for dinner,

and the second time to say

that he wouldn't make it back

at all tonight.

He said that he was snowmobiling

up to a research station

with another scientist he met in the woods?

Does that make sense to you?

Because it sounds like the craziest thing

I've ever heard.

Well, you've obviously never met my dad,

because that's actually typical.

Oh, come on, Jordy,

we can still have dinner together...

No, forget it, mom, okay?

Let's just go back to the b&b.

I'm sorry.

It's okay, Lettie.

It's not your fault.

I appreciate your helping me out.

Just so you know,

I don't give a damn about your blackbird.

I just don't want you going out into the woods

and getting yourself killed.

I don't need that on my conscience.

You sound like my son.

They should have heard us coming.

As boring as it is out here,

they should be out here with bells on.

That can't be good.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Hello?

Shouldn't the generator have kicked in?

Maybe it's frozen.

Yeah.

Frozen solid.

How is that even possible?

I don't know,

but right now,

I think we need to worry about it happening again

and not how it happened.

Agreed.

The missing birds,

it suggests that this isn't random.

Animals are smarter than humans. They know.

Think we better get that generator started,

maybe fire up the computers, see if they recorded anything.

Take this walkie.

We'll stay in touch.

I'll take the guys outside.

We'll arrange to bury them later.

All right.

So... how do you like the north now, Miami?

It is awesome.

It's like being on a freezing cold jet ski.

Except, you know, with a lot more clothes on.

Right.

Come on, I want to show you something cool.

We got power.

Nice work, Roger.

Now, get back here

and let's figure out how this thing happened.

Wow.

Empty.

Nothing but us.

You could yell

your deepest, darkest secrets from this spot,

and no one will hear you.

This is my favorite spot.

Come on, you try.

Beautiful.

I mean, it's...

It's beautiful out here.

What the...

Roger?

Roger, you've got to get inside now.

The temperatures are plummeting.

Roger, do you copy?

Roger...

Roger!

We've got to feed the fire. We can't let it go out.

Whoa, cool!

No...

No, that was weird.

We should go.

Uh, one thing that you never mess with up here

is weird weather.

We should get out of here.

Hey, how'd it go?

Are you engaged yet?

I think we've got to have the third date first

before talking about eternity.

So there's going to be a third date?

I hope so.

Well, uh, your dad isn't here yet,

and I need to finish up,

so just try to keep yourself busy for a few minutes,

- I'll come find you? - Yeah, sure.

Where's Claire?

You should have invited her to have dinner with us.

I could go check on her,

if you want.

You're not going anywhere, don Juan.

I will meet you in the waiting room

in 20 minutes.

This family dinner will happen.

Just stay out of trouble, and out of everyone's way,

okay?

No promises.

And who is don Juan?

Is he the dude riding the donkeys

on the coffee cans?

Yes.

Damn it.

Cold kills the batteries.

Yeah.

My family's going to be starting to worry

right about now.

I've got to find some way to get a message to them.

I checked.

Nothing here that communicates with the outside world

is working.

You find anything else useful?

Well?

According to the data

collected by the weather monitoring equipment

before it went out,

suggests that we're experiencing

an upper atmospheric cyclonic event.

It could be stratospheric,

maybe mesospheric,

I don't know.

It's unprecedented,

and this is what's dropping temperatures so quickly?

The air is being pulled up

into the upper reaches of the atmosphere.

It's getting supercooled.

As it cools, it gains density,

and drops back down to the earth as a sub-freezing blast of wind.

It's like a pinwheel,

blowing tendrils of cold off of a fan.

That's why it's not hitting everywhere at once?

Its tendrils?

Otherwise people would have noticed.

Exactly.

It's not setting off alarms because it appears isolated.

But it's not.

The next one should hit at 2:06 A.M.

It's going to last 10 minutes and 15 seconds.

We are in the center,

the most intense part of the storm.

If that's the case,

then Pemberton could get hit, too.

Yeah, the tail end,

but it won't be as cold there as it is here,

at least not yet.

So, are we going to be okay here?

For now.

What's the cause of it?

The cause?

Emissions.

Holes in the ozone.

Nuclear reactors warming our oceans.

Take your pick.

We could be looking at a new ice age.

But on the plus side,

the cold zones are relatively low.

The blasts of wind are basically on the surface.

No higher than 8,000 feet,

so at least we won't have any planes

falling from the skies.

Great.

At least that's something.

So, what can we do about it?

Nothing.

What do you mean, nothing?

I mean, nothing.

Our control over this domain, it ends here.

So what, we just, we just die?

You, me, everyone else?

There's got to be some way that we can combat it.

Roger, the cyclone,

up there, it's growing.

More and more air is getting pulled up into it.

Its frequency is increasing by 50% with each turn.

It's only a matter of time

before it threatens the entire northern hemisphere.

The survival zones,

the gaps between the tendrils, they're closing.

It's becoming one giant blast.

So... so what...

How long does the danger zone last?

What's the duration of it?

The duration is increasing as well.

As I said, the next one is 10 minutes and 15 seconds.

Then 14 minutes and 32 seconds,

and then 18 minutes and 80 seconds.

I don't know, 22 minutes, 26 minutes,

so on, and so on, and so on!

All right, so it increases by four minutes

every single time,

it's like this.. Self-sustaining wind.

It's going to kill everything in its path.

Weather is self-regulating, isn't it?

I mean, it'll stabilize eventually.

I mean, there must be some kind of way

that we can accelerate that.

No.

Too late.

No one listened when we had a chance.

We're done.

There's got to be something we can do stop it.

How?

What do you want me to do?

What, you want to shoot a rocket into space?

Blow up a nuke?

No one is looking for it,

not for this.

We have no communications,

we got nothing.

How are we supposed to stop it?

I don't know.

But you might.

I know who you are, Tim.

I know that you tried for years

to convince the world

about the dangers of climate change.

There certainly was a point where you cared about people.

Yes, I spent my entire career,

my life,

trying to get the world to understand

the dangers we faced,

and what did I get?

I got ignored,

ridiculed, rebuffed,

and threatened.

Well, this is about more than just us, now, though,

isn't it?

I read about what happened

to your...

Your wife and daughter,

their death in Katrina.

I mean, there are no words.

It's tragic.

But there are other families out there.

My family is out there.

Good evening, nurse Lettie.

Hey, Jordan.

How's it going?

How are you liking it here so far?

Okay, well, between just you and me,

I'm kind of glad

I'm not in Cabo right now.

So, um...

So, Claire's a nice girl.

Hey...

Is there anything good in the lost and found?

I doubt it, but you can have a look.

So, Claire, um...

Do you know if she's seeing anybody, or anything?

I'm pretty sure Claire would tell you

if she had a boyfriend.

If that's what you're asking.

What? No, I...

Hello.

You never know what you're going to find

in the lost and found.

Oh...

Well, so much for an easy night.

Hey.

Sorry, kiddo.

With these rolling power outages,

it got real busy here.

We're one of the only places with a generator.

Where's your dad?

He didn't show up.

Again.

That's odd.

No, not really.

He didn't show up last time.

Why would today be any different?

Excuse me.

Excuse me?

Can I get some help here, ma'am?

Of course, sir.

I'm sorry, Jordy.

I have to take care of this.

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Okay, let's see,

what do we have here?

All right... Oh, watch your back.

It's okay, it's okay. Careful.

What happened?

It's Mr. Watson.

Frozen solid in his scooter last night.

Jordan...

The look on his face, sheer terror.

Like he was running away from something.

How does something like this even happen?

Damndest thing I've ever seen.

No service.

They don't even know what's coming,

and they're not gonna.

My wife's been coming up here with me to volunteer for years.

This is the first time that my kid's ever come.

I can't even warn them to stay inside.

I can't warn anybody.

You can't warn them,

but maybe you can get them out.

We can't stop the storm, but we can run from it.

At least we can try.

What are you talking about?

There's a helipad just north of town.

8,000 feet.

Yeah, that's right.

Look.

There.

Anywhere south of there, they can survive the storm.

It's the only place they'll be safe.

I mean, it's a chance.

I'll take it.

Temperatures have returned to safe levels.

We should move.

Yeah.

Well, there you go, Mr. Wallace.

It's good as new.

Although I wouldn't recommend

going back out on the ice tonight.

You should rest

and keep that hand dry for a few days.

Don't worry, doc.

Cold happens up here.

It's not like it's some evil monster

out to get you.

It just happens.

Tourists...

Well...

Uh, Lettie, um, has my husband checked in?

No.

Can you come get me when he calls?

I can,

but listen, he's been coming here for over 20 years.

He's not nearly as green

as everybody is making him out to be.

I'm sure he's fine, okay?

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Okay.

Snowmobile's ready.

I siphoned some gasoline from the generator.

If we leave soon,

we can make it to your cabin

before the blast hits.

I'm not coming with you.

The hell you're not, you'll die here.

You were right.

No one knows about this,

and a phone call isn't going to convince anyone.

Governments need real proof

before they're going to spend money.

They need this data.

If they had it, they might try.

Tim...

Hundreds of millions are gonna die.

I can't have that on my head.

Not when I'm the only person on the planet

who can do something about it.

What are you going to do?

I've just got to figure out a way to get the signal out.

All right, I'll go, I'll warn my family,

and I'll come back.

This storm, it's not going to stop.

It's going to blow until it blows itself out.

And hey, I...

I came to the north to die anyway.

My wife, she'd think it was pretty funny,

me dying like this.

Yeah...

Go save your family.

I'm good with this.

Hey, Jordy, can you turn on the news?

The cold weather anomalies that are reaping havoc

all over the northern hemisphere

are still baffling scientists.

Russia reports power outages to at least four million people,

and parts of Canada are without communication.

Now, at home,

the weather board has not made any official comment,

and the white house is asking Americans

to stay indoors and remain calm.

We should go and look for dad.

I mean, he should been back by now.

You have no idea where he is,

no idea where you're going,

and no way to get there.

I don't care.

I mean, we should at least try.

Jordy, he's a grown-up.

It's not your job to worry about him.

Candace,

Wilma is on the phone.

She thinks she might have

swallowed a spider.

Okay.

I gotta get this.

Yeah, well...

I do worry about him.

Answer.

Come on, Candace, pick up.

Dad?

Jordy!

Nice, dad. Nice no-show.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I had you come up here.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry I wasn't around more

when you were younger,

and you wanted me to be,

but I want you to know you're number one.

All right? You and your mom, you're number one.

I love you, Jordy.

Dad?

What's wrong?

There's a terrible storm coming.

And when the wind blows,

if you're outside, it will freeze you solid,

so you've got to stay inside, all right?

You hear me?

I hear you.

Okay, so where are you?

At the clinic, me and mom.

That's good. It's a new building,

and it's got emergency power there.

You're gonna be...

You're gonna be just fine there for a while, all right?

Now, this storm is gonna hit Pemberton

at 11:06, okay?

It's going to blow for 18 minutes and 32 seconds,

and you, you've gotta be inside during that time period.

Now, here's what you've got to look for, okay?

The wind is gonna change direction.

You've gotta be inside during that time period.

Are you okay, dad?

I'm coming for you, all right?

I'm gonna...

Dad?

Dad!

Tim?

Tim?

Yeah.

I got a message out to my family.

They know enough now.

I'm on my way to them.

That is great news. Hey, listen,

I think I figured out a way to transmit the data.

I've just got to get it up to the airwaves.

Get your family to the helipad and you get 'em out.

Will do.

Tim?

Yeah.

Save as many as you can.

You got it.

Listen, make sure the, um,

the actor that plays me in the movie

is better looking than the actor that plays you.

It's got to be realistic.

Copy that.

Good luck to you, Roger.

Power's out again.

Is there coffee?

Yeah.

It's freezing.

Hey, everyone.

I just got off with dispatch.

Now, the power's going to be messed up for a while.

I guess the news is saying that we should all stay inside.

Personally, I'm heading back to the city

while there's still time.

No power?

I'm on electric at home.

I'll catch my death of cold.

You guys cannot go outside yet.

Hold on.

Hello, everyone.

My name is Dr. Candace summers.

My husband is Roger summers.

Most of you know us

from our annual summer trips up here.

He's informed me

that a dangerous storm is headed this way.

Freezing winds, actually.

Look, I don't know all the details.

There's nothing on the news about a storm.

That's because they don't know.

We've all been through this kind of weather before.

It's nothing new, isn't that right?

This is different.

If you go outside when it hits,

you'll freeze to death

in a matter of seconds.

If a storm's coming,

we need to get back to the road.

You're not listening, okay?

None of you are safe.

Your homes, they may not be warm enough

to keep you and your families alive.

Where are we supposed to go?

We should all stay here.

Inside, for the time being.

And then what?

We wait for my husband.

He'll have a plan.

She's from Miami.

Well, that explains it.

Honey, we should go with him.

No, you're not...

Kid, I drive truck through all kinds of weather.

I'm getting while the getting's good.

But it's not good.

You have to stay here.

You won't be safe out there.

My partner is loading up a patient for transfer

right now.

It's an eight-hour drive down south to the city.

We can't just stay here, we've got a job to do.

Maybe we'll come with you.

Okay, we got a convoy.

No, wait, please.

My husband will be here soon.

He's on his way.

He has all the information about this storm.

If you could just wait for a few more minutes,

please!

We deal with bad weather here

all the time, doctor.

If we're not out there helping folks, no one is.

Please...

All right, I've got 30 minutes.

Okay, what am I going to do here?

Shelter.

I'm going to get Claire.

No, you're not.

You're going to stay right here

like your father asked you to.

The clinic is much better insulated than the b&b.

That is exactly why I have to go get her.

She doesn't even know that she's in danger out there.

Jordan summers, I forbid you to leave this building.

Come on.

Please, god,

let this work.

I want to see my family again.

Crash victim in room seven just checked himself out.

That was our last patient.

Oh, no.

I don't know what to do if they won't listen.

You know, this town is full of hard-working,

decent people,

and every single one of them is hard-headed.

We survive out here.

I didn't get to speak with Roger,

but from what Jordan said,

I don't if there will be survivors this time.

It's what we do, Candace.

Where's Jordan?

Jordy?

We have to find him.

Jordan!

Go! Now!

Get back! Move! Move!

Oh, god...

All right.

Come on, baby.

Yeah!

Atta girl. Atta girl.

Really?

Damnit!

Come on!

We're closed, sir.

- You scared the hell outta me. - I'm Fiona.

Roger. What are you doing here?

It was so cold at home.

I thought it would be warmer here,

but I was wrong. It's worse here.

This building isn't insulated enough.

We've gotta get out of here.

What's going on out there?

Something is cooling the atmosphere

to the point where

the temperature outside is dropping

below survivable levels.

It's not even snowing out there.

It's too cold outside to snow.

What should we do?

We've got to get inside a cooler.

You want me to get in a fridge?

Look, I'm just making it up as I go along.

I'm no expert here.

Great.

Well, you're still alive.

That's something, I guess.

That's right.

Come on.

The cooler will be well insulated.

It'll be cool in there,

but it will be a heck of a lot warmer than out here.

You hope.

I do. I hope.

At least we won't starve.

We won't need to be in here too long.

It'll be 26 minutes,

then the temperature will come up temporarily,

then we can go to the clinic.

What's at the clinic?

My family's there.

We'll go there, we'll get them,

and then we'll get out of here.

You too.

Thank you, Roger.

Yeah.

Now let's just try and keep moving a little bit,

keep our temperature up, all right?

Huh.

It works.

God, I love science.

Now let's get you in the air.

Are you sure it's safe to go out there?

The storm comes and goes,

and each time,

the window between cold snaps grows shorter,

eventually,

there won't be anywhere safe to go.

So, what should we do?

We're going to make like the rusty blackbird.

What?

We're gonna fly south, all right?

We're gonna go to the airport,

we're gonna get a helicopter,

and fly above the winds

till we get to a warmer spot.

You know how to fly a helicopter?

Yeah, we're gonna figure that out.

Come on, call me, either of you.

Lettie, what are you doing?

Well, this'll help keep the heat in

in case the generator goes.

In case somebody makes it back.

Right.

Roger!

Thank god, you're here.

Oh, I was so worried about you.

Where's Jordan?

He went for Claire.

I demanded that he stay here,

but he didn't listen.

- We're going to get them. - Then what?

We're going to fly out of here.

The closest runway is 15 miles away.

And there's a killer storm hunting us down.

How is that going to work?

What we need is a refrigerated truck.

It keeps the cool in, but it would also keep the cool...

out.

So, back to the store?

We have one for deliveries.

Okay, perfect.

You two get the truck, I'll get Jordan and Claire.

And, Lettie,

can you pack up my medical bag

for when I get back?

I don't think we should split up.

The b&b isn't a new building.

I have to go get them.

Okay, well, we have an hour and 24 minutes

until the next blast.

Set your watch.

Okay, we'll meet back here?

If, uh... If things go wrong...

We meet back here.

I love you.

You too. Go!

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

No...

Jordy...

God!

Mom!

What are you doing?

Oh, Jordy!

Don't do that to a guy.

Don't you ever do that to me again, you hear?

Okay, I hear you.

I'm so glad you two are okay.

He saved my life, Dr. summers.

I didn't know.

I would have gone to bed and never woken up.

That's what families do.

Now, listen, we don't have much time.

We've got to get back.

Wait, what about dad?

It's okay. He's safe.

Come on.

Where are you going?

Northerners,

we know all the cold weather tricks.

Now you know.

You better do something with it.

All right,

let's jump 'er.

Let's try it.

Ready?

Yeah!

Whoo!

Okay...

Piece of cake, huh?

Yeah, right.

I found a couple more, Lettie.

Oh, great.

Did you get the truck?

Yeah. Did you get Jordan and Claire?

I sent them

to turn the thermostats and the lights down

in the rest of the hospital,

except for this area right here.

That generator's been working for two days.

Makes sense.

The white house official statement is,

"we just didn't know."

But Dr. Tim Hughes knew, then and now.

There's been no further contact with him

since his life-saving signal went out to the world

from a remote region in northern Alaska.

Mass evacuations are underway

everywhere in the northern hemisphere.

Airports are fueling every plane

to save as many lives as possible.

If you own a plane or have a pilot's license,

you're asked to contact authorities

and make yourself known.

If you can, get south.

If you can't, get indoors.

New buildings with new insulation are better.

Do whatever it takes to stay warm,

and wait it out.

Now, emergency relief actions are already planned

for when the storm has blown itself out

in seven days.

He did it.

Was that you?

No, that was Dr. Tim Hughes.

Dad!

Jordy!

You made it, man!

I'm sorry I made you come up here.

No, I'm sorry about being a jerk about Cabo.

It doesn't matter.

It was my fault, I've got to take responsibility.

It just doesn't matter.

The most important thing to remember

is to stay warm.

All right, we've got seven minutes.

Everybody hunker down.

Stay calm.

Okay, it's time.

Get inside, get a fire going.

Godspeed, everyone,

and good luck.

Temperatures are stabilizing.

Let's go.

Lettie?

What are you doing?

I'm not coming, Candace.

You can't stay here!

I was born here, Candace.

The people I love live here.

If people need help, this is where they'll come,

and I won't abandon them.

No...

Lettie, please.

You can't.

She's staying!

Come on, hon'.

There's nothing we can do.

Come on.

Easy, Roger.

Slow and steady keeps us on the road

when it comes to cold driving.

Slow and steady

will have us dead on the road.

How long to the airport?

Normally, it takes 20 minutes.

Normally.

What is that up ahead?

Oh...

That doesn't look good.

Why are we stopping?

I don't know.

Hey! Is everything okay?

It's fine! Stay put.

Are they are all...

Yeah.

Is this, uh...

Is this the only way to the airport?

Yes.

There's no other way through.

Are we going to tell them about this?

Not if we don't have to.

Hey, why aren't we moving?

Oh, my god,

what happened?

Come on.

Is something wrong?

The road up ahead is blocked.

Well, what do we... What do we do now?

We get in the Van. Come on.

Let's hope we're right about this.

It's working.

This is colder than I anticipated.

We're only going to be able to stand

one or two more of these inside here.

I need to call my parents.

Tell them what's happening.

Cell phone service will be down by now.

We'll find them

when this is all over, okay?

What are we going to do now?

There isn't another way, is there?

Not without going back to town.

No...

I know a shortcut.

What's that?

We could take white bridge.

No.

Wait... what's white bridge?

It's the old direct.

It crosses the river

and goes straight to the airport.

Well, that's perfect, let's do that.

It's condemned.

Parts of the foundation are cracked.

Damaged by ice.

Last year, two kids died

crossing over on quads.

Oh, my god...

Not perfect.

It's not an option.

They were chasing the edge.

What does that mean?

It's stupid, it's like a dare.

The boys will see

who can ride closest to the edge

where its falling apart.

If it won't hold a quad,

it won't hold us.

It will, though.

I've done it.

With my brother,

we've driven across in his truck

when we were driving back from a party once.

No, this sounds too risky.

It would get us to the airport.

And the road itself, it isn't that bad.

Well, we're all dead

if we stay here anyway.

I don't know that we have another option.

Let's go.

You've got to be kidding me.

- What? - Gas.

You felt it back there.

That air conditioner was the only thing

that kept us alive.

All right, how long is it going to take us

to get to the airport

once we cross the bridge?

Windy roads, but 40 minutes?

All right, and then we need another half an hour

with the engine running

once the storm comes.

We're not going to have enough gas

to keep the engine running during the next blast.

It's 40 minutes by truck.

On foot?

We can't make it.

We're not gonna make it.

Yes, we will.

I'm going to drive through the next cold blast.

No, you're not.

It's the only way.

You are the only one who can fly a helicopter.

There's no way I'm letting a mother or children

do this.

Fiona...

That's what we do in the north, Roger.

We look out for each other, and we sacrifice.

No.

You know how this is going to end,

so let's stop wasting time.

You need to stop this truck,

and get in the back.

We'll, uh...

We'll winterize you as best we can.

Put candles in here,

and we'll crank the heat.

Then maybe you'll have a chance.

Let's stop wasting time.

- Give me some blankets. - Why?

Come on, just give me some blankets.

I haven't got time here.

Roger, what's going on?

I'll be right back.

It's okay, all right?

Thank you, Fiona.

I'll see you at the airport.

It was a good town, Roger.

The best.

Get going.

Dad, what's going on?

Sit down.

We don't have enough gas to stop and make it there,

so Fiona is going drive through the next blast.

What?

No, she'll freeze!

No, listen, we've winterized the cab

as best as we can.

There's a chance that she'll make it.

Dad, man, we can't do this.

Well, if we don't, we'll all freeze.

And if she freezes and drives off the road?

That's not going to happen.

Hey, you okay?

I'm just so sick of this.

God, I know. Me too.

You know, you should probably eat something.

Calories equals energy, and energy equals heat.

I'm fine, Miami.

Did you mean what you said?

About finding my parents?

Absolutely.

Okay, we've got seven minutes until the next blast.

We must be on the bridge.

It will hold.

Oh, god...

It's all right.

Almost there...

Almost there.

We're going to be okay.

- We've stopped. - Yeah.

We've gotta go out and get her.

No, we can't go out and get her.

It's too cold.

You won't make it to the front of the truck.

Fiona...

- I understand that. - Dad...

There's nothing we can do, Jordy.

I'm sorry.

All right, that's it.

We haven't got much time, let's go.

Fiona?

I'm so sorry.

Good people.

Come on. Let's go.

What now?

The two of you,

find the office and find the keys.

- On it. - It should be obvious.

Come on, Miami.

Roger...

All we need to do is get to 8,000 feet,

and we'll be fine, okay?

I love you.

I love you.

Come on. Let's get this bird out of here.

Can I tell you something?

Yeah, sure.

I'm actually...

Pretty freaked out right now.

I know.

I am too.

It's going to be okay.

Are you...

Really scared?

Well, I'm pretty sure

my dad's never flown a helicopter before, so...

There must be a better way than this.

Well, we don't have anything to tow it with.

We've just got to clear the doors.

We got the keys!

Okay, good. Give us a hand here.

Jordy, here.

Already?

I'm sick of that alarm.

All right, everybody in. We're running out of time.

Come on.

Inside, go!

Hit the heat, it's under the vent there.

Dad, I had no idea

you knew how to fly a helicopter.

Claire's right.

You're kind of cool.

I'm full of surprises.

Dad, we're icing up.

Just watch the altimeter.

When we get to 8,000 feet,

we'll be above the arctic blast, and it will stop.

We can make it.

Yeah, we can.

Okay, we're still rising. We're close.

Almost there.

- We did it! - Whoo!

Are we safe?

We're clear, we're gonna be okay.

Yeah, we're gonna be all right.

We'll just have to touch down to refuel,

but we have a radio now.

We can get information.

We'll just continue further south.

Nice flying, dad.

We can't keep touching down

for gas and food, Roger.

What are we going to do?

What do you expect, mom? It's an ice age.

Roger...

We'll find Claire's parents,

and we'll start over again.

Rebuild our communities.

Try not to make the same mistakes we made last time.

For Tim

and Fiona...

And all those people that didn't make it.
