[COMPUTER BEEPING]

There's a buoy registering

a 1 3-degree drop in temperature.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

That buoy malfunctioned the other day.

I'll see if there are ships near

Georges Bank to get it.

This buoy isn't in Georges Bank.

It's just off Greenland.

SlMON:

What?

-What are the odds of two buoys failing?

-Remote.

Make that three.

[HORNS HONKING]

LUTHER:
Just another typical day in New

York City. Traffic jam, 1 0 blocks long.

Look here, Buddha. These people,

and their cars, and their exhaust...

...and they're polluting the atmosphere.

LAURA:

Excuse me, sir. We're really late.

We're almost there.

-We're only two blocks away.

-Let's walk.

[BIRDS CHIRPlNG]

[SEAL BARKING]

[BEAR ROARING]

What's gotten into them?

CESAR:
l have no idea.

They're all worked up today.

[WOLVES HOWLING]

In 1 532, Spanish conquistador

Francisco Pizarro...

...defeated this Incan emperor at the

Peruvian highland town of Cajamarca.

What is his name? Time.

[THUNDER RUMBLlNG]

Montezuma.

No, no, Montezuma was in Mexico,

not Peru.

It's, like, Anta-something.

-Atahualpa?

-That's it!

REFEREE:

Time's up. Correct answers, please.

That's five points for Woodmont

and five points for Pinehurst Academy.

[CROWD APPLAUDlNG]

Next question.

In what year did Louis Quatorze

ascend to the throne of France?

[MUSlC PLAYlNG]

[CHATTERlNG]

This place is so retro, it might actually

be cool if it were on purpose.

Mm.

Yeah, look at all these nerds.

Hey.

You look beautiful.

Thanks. This place is incredible.

Do you believe this is their cafeteria?

You played a great first round.

So did you.

These are my teammates,

Sam and Brian.

-l'm Laura.

-Oh, I'm J.D.

-Your school's amazing.

-Would you like a tour?

Sure. That'd be great.

Could you hold this for a sec?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

Man, you got some serious competition.

SAM:

Please.

-And I'll bet he's really rich too.

-Shut up.

[THUNDER RUMBLlNG]

[PHONE RlNGING]

-Who is it?

RAPSON:
Terry Rapson here.

Sorry to cail you so early.

No, professor, it's all right.

What is it?

RAPSON:
Well, we've found

something extraordinary.

Extraordinary and disturbing, that is.

You recall what you said in New Delhi

about how polar melting...

...might disrupt

the North Atlantic Current?

JACK:

Yes.

RAPSON:

Well...

...l think it's happening.

What do you mean?

RAPSON:
One of our NOMAD buoys

registered a 1 3-degree drop...

...in surface temperature.

I've sent you an e-mail.

Hold on.

RAPSON:

At first we thought it was a malfunction.

But there are four more across the

North Atlantic showing the same thing.

JACK:

This is unbelievable.

You predicted it would happen.

JACK:
Yes, but not in our lifetime.

This is too fast.
