Age of Ice Page #2

- Ok.

It's fine. It's fine.

Anything?

No, nothing!

Have you seen anything on the TV?

Yes, the newscaster said it was

the Arabian Peninsula that shifted.

What?

The entire Arabian

Peninsula that shifted.

There are earthquakes

from here to Dubai.

Anything else?

Uh, the edge of the Arabian

tectonic plate that runs

down the middle of the Red Sea parted,

Exposing salt water directly

to magma for over 1,000 miles.

The TV then went to static.

Jack, I was able to

get a hold of my father,

and he thinks this is much

bigger than it seems. Bigger?

What did he just say?

He says that you should go to the

US Embassy and you'll be safe there.

- That sounds like...

- They're lying, Jack.

- Why would they do that?

- Because that is the US Embassy.

To keep people safe...

and calm.

What else did your

father tell you, Tariq?

Jesus. What are these circles?

Vaporized salt water is

seeding through the clouds.

Creating a massive unstable

low-pressure system.

He said that people in those

circles, need to evacuate

immediately as temperature

will drop below zero

making the whole area

inhabitable by sundown.

Are we in this circle right here?

Yes.

Ok, so there's lava and a cold

front and shifting plates...

We need to go somewhere else?

That's what it sounds like.

It's salty!

Ok, I'm thinking we need to get

to the airport and get back home.

Babe, a plane isn't gonna

be able to fly in this!

The US Embassy is in the

heart of the city over there.

Um, yeah, that's not going to happen.

Can't we just find

shelter and stay here?

No outside help is going to be able

to get in here if things get worse.

We have to get out, Now!

Ok.

Let's see.

Ok. Their airport is right

here, and it's outside

of the city and it's away

from the tall buildings.

Architecturally it's a very modern

building; it's probably the safest.

Yeah, architecture will save us.

I can't get in touch with my father.

I need to get in contact with him again.

You should definitely

contact your father.

The temperature is

already dropping, Dad.

Let's contact your father,

after we get to the airport.

Look, we have to get out

of here before sundown.

That's what? 7 o'clock?

Yes, about that.

Let's get a taxi.

A taxi? No taxi is

gonna come through here.

Nothing is gonna come to the hotel!

We'll take out chances.

I appreciate everything

you've done for me,

but I need to get in

contact with my father again.

I understand all that, but

you have to come with us.

Please, at least come

with us to the airport.

I don't want to impose.

We're in this together now.

All right. Come on.

Hey!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Hey!

Hey!

Come on!

Let's go! Let's go!
