Ice (1998) - full transcript

(orchestra music)

(dramatic music)

- One eight seven, one one in.

- Come on, I need some
air, I need some cold air.

- No way.

- (Speaks in foreign language).

- Wearing black pants (mumbles).

- Here Drake, I got
you an ice cream.

- Ah I don't want any ice cream.

Anybody seen him?

- Nobody.



- Are you sure?

- Don't you'd think
they'd recognize a guy

that looks like this?

- Maybe now he's
got normal hair.

- Maybe now we're wasting
our time. Let's go home.

- He jumped bail on Long Beach.
I'm not giving up so easy.

(Sighs) I hate the heat.

(suspenseful music)

- Solar (mumbles) is down by 20.

These readings just
aren't possible.

There must be a defect
in the equipment doctor.

(beeping)

- The equipment is fine.

(hip hop music)
(grunting)



- Knock it in, knock it in.

Huh, punch it. Come on.

- Are you finished?

- Hi.

- Behave yourself.

- I'm behaving. Just go to work.

Come on.

(cheering)

- Come on (mumbles).

- Yeah.

(percussive music)

- Coming through.

- Watch yourself.

- Hey get out of the ring.

- Get out of here.

(grunting)

(bell ringing)

(cheering)

(horn honking)

- Who cares if we
had caught him.

Some smart attorney we'd
have him out tomorrow

and we'd have to
chase him again.

- Go ahead, say who you mean.

- I'm not mentioning any names.

- But you mean Julie.

- Hey, tell me, tell me.

Was Julie's right cross as good
as the champ's in there huh?

- You're funny,
you're a funny man.

And don't get me
going about my ex wife

and I'm suppose to
meet Allison later.

- Hmm.

- There's no hmm's Zapata.

Every time I mention
Allison you go hmm.

- Hmm.

- No, it's not a hmm thing.
It's a going along thing.

I'll let you know when
it becomes a hmm thing.

I can see my breath.

What is this?

It's May and it's freezing.

- First you're too hot,
then you're too cold.

You're like a little flower.

- Look, I don't like the
heat. I can't take the cold.

I didn't move to
LA for the traffic.

(dramatic music)

- You except me on your
isolated assumption

to walk into the White
House and tell the president

we're on the threshold
of a new ice age?

- Dr. Golding, I don't
expect you or Dr. Tyson

to do anything.

I except you to sit on
your hands arguing--

- Dr. Kisler.

- Arguing the shades of
distinction between the terms

cataclysm and apocalypse
while the country's destroyed.

- Move over global warming
fans, here comes Kisler.

The only term I'm
considering term

I'm considering, doctor,
is alarmist, okay.

- Listen, a quarter
of the sun is covered

with massive sun spots.

It's a major turn in the solar
cycle. I'm not an alarmist.

Gentleman, I'm a realist.

- Ah come on, you
never talk about her.

- See I just want to know
why you want to know.

- I just feel like if I knew
a little bit more about Julie

and how you guys were
together, then I can be bored

in making your life
hell (chuckles).

- Uh well, we were young
when we got married.

She worked as a paralegal.
Then she went to law school.

And now she's a lawyer.

- I don't want her resume. I
want to know what she's like.

- She use to be a lot
like me and now she's not.

Hey, you think Max
is gonna like this?

Wait, check this out.

(loud squealing)

- Well, I'd know
better if I'd met him.

- Yeah, you will, see
he wants a real dog

but Greg has more sunk
in his carpets than

I'm gonna make in my life, so.

- Ah, well you know what,
just the fact that you

bought for him,
he's gonna love it.

What's that?

- Ah I got tired
of losing my keys.

- Is there someone in there?

- No, I leave the TV on to
discourage the solid citizens

I arrest all day for
making another life error.

- You are search
a people person.

(vibe music)

- Hey, it's California,
it's cold and it's cold.

- So Allison, other than
the mess, what do you think?

- Well, I don't want to hurt
your feelings or anything

but now I now why we
always go to my place.

- Maid quit.

- Ah, it's stuck.

Don't you ever defrost?

- Meanwhile the rest of the
country will still (mumbles).

They'll be huddled around
their space heaters.

And that's the weather,
whether you like--

- Thank you very much.

- Come here, let me
see where you got hit.

- Let's just forget about ice.

Maybe a little heat
on it might help.

(piano music)

(thunder rumbling)
(dramatic music)

(sirens ringing)

(clapping)

- We hear she was
a real knockout.

- Don't look at me,
I didn't tell a soul.

- Hey Drake, when
are you going pro?

- Ah maybe I told
one or two people.

- You know Zapata,
nobody likes a funny cop.

- Oh I don't know, might
be the last laugh we have

if this weather keeps up.

Forget about calling in sick,
all leaves will be canceled.

Just look forward to
spending all that overtime.

(Mumbles) wear your long johns.

- Ah my man's
impervious to cold,

he was a navy seal you know.

(phone ringing)

- Yeah, I talked to
my sister in New York.

She said they got a
foot of snow there.

You know how nuts it
gets in LA when it rains,

imagine if it snowed.

- Drake, our man Calvin's
in Venice shacked up

with a waitress from the club.

- It's 9:02 here in the
B Jam throughout the

freezing cold Los
Angeles (mumbles).

Can you believe that
it's 33 degrees?

- Calvin, weren't you suppose
to go to the market yesterday?

- You know what we gotta do?

We gotta save up some
money and move to Florida.

I got a friend who started
up a limo service in Boca.

- Oh honey, Florida
is too humid.

Besides it's got all those
palmetto bugs and uh.

- Not in Boca baby.
Ah, damn (mumbles).

(loud knocking)

- LAPD, open up.

- Um, wait a minute,
I'm not dressed yet.

- Police, open up now.

(loud knocking)

I said open up.

(loud grunting)

Marathon's over.

- You are freaking relentless
man, like a sick cartoon.

Everywhere I go there you are.

- Calvin. Don't
hurt him, let me go.

- Calm down.

- Okay, okay.

- I'm innocent, man.
(dog barking)

- Innocent men don't run.

- They do when they're black.

It's a tradition we have
with the police in this town.

(thunder rumbling)

(dog barking)

(dramatic music)

(sighing)

- Just tell me how long
this will last, Dr. Tyson.

- Sir, I believe we're
through the worst of it.

Our top meteorologist
predict that temperatures

will return to near
normal within 36 hours.

- Mr. President, Dr. Norman
Kisler is on the video link

from Los Angeles.

- Sir, we haven't entirely
discounted Dr. Kisler's model

but the consensus is--

- I know what the consensus
is. I want to hear anything.

Dr. Kisler.

- Mr. President, I'm sure
my esteemed colleagues

doctors Golding and Tyson
have painted a suitably

rosy landscape of the future.

I'm glad you're finally
ready to face the truth.

- We've discussed this, doctor.

Full scale evacuations
are not an option.

- The time you've already
lost will be counted

in human lives.

- Just give us the worst
case scenario, doctor.

- The northern states
can expect temperatures

of 80 to 100 degree
below zero Fahrenheit.

(laughing)

- Mr. President, I'm
willing to stake my

professional reputation--

- Moving south, I expect
a mean of 10 to 20 below,

with wind chills up
to a hundred below.

- On other occasions he's put--

- The area near the equator
will be the warmest.

There's still time to
evacuate key personnel.

- How long will
this last, doctor?

- My calculations indicate
the sun will regenerate

in somewhere between
11 and 27 years.

I would guess most of
the country will not

be livable until then.

- Mr. President, Dr. Tyson and
I don't feel that the data is

sufficient to make this
kind of irresponsible--

- We cannot discount the worst
case scenario, gentlemen.

Bring me the civil
evacuation plans.

I want the guard and
military put on alert.

Let's move some equipment around

where it'll do the most good.

Pour me one of those, thank you.

Dr. Kisler, what can we
do to head this thing off?

- Nothing.

Nothing.

(dramatic music)

- My fellow Americans,
we are currently faced

with a serious crisis in
many parts of our country.

Unusual solar activity
has caused a record drop

in temperature here at
home and around the world.

This morning, I signed
an executive order

declaring a national
state of emergency.

But let me stress, I have
been assured by the best

scientific minds of our nation
that the worst is behind us.

(doorbell ringing)

- I'll get it.

- Still, while this
crisis is in effect,

your federal government--

- Uh huh uh.

(laughing)

- Hey dad, isn't this great?

They closed the schools.

- Yeah, well it's
cold out there.

- I built a snowman.

- Yeah, how big?

- It was huge.

- I heard it was
somebody's birthday today.

(laughing)

- Use this time spend
with our families.

- Whose birthday?

- I'm sure we'll
get through this.

And we'll be stronger for it.

- And happy birthday.

- Awe, thanks dad.

- What do you think,
Jim, is he underplaying

the severity of
the situation here?

- Well, some people
will have that to say.

On the other hand--

- Drake.

- Hey.

(bell ringing)

- Whoa, this is great
mom, it's the best.

- Yeah, well it's not a

real dog but.
(toy dog barking)

- Hey dad, we have some cake
left over from last night.

Do you want a piece?

- Yeah.

(toy dog barking)

- Drake, you're working
on his birthday?

- Well, I don't
really have a choice.

- Here's the birthday cake.

- Cake?

Looks like pie.

- It's a tart.

- Hey Greg, look
what my dog can do.

(toy dog barking)

- That's great, that's great.

(toy dog barking)

- Listen, I just came by
'cause I wanted to make sure

you guys were okay.

- Yeah, we're fine.

(toy dog barking)

- Max, Max, please.

We're fine here.

I'm sure we have everything
we could possible need.

- Well I'm tactical alert.

I've got to pick up
Zapata, his car's stuck.

They want us down
at the airport.

- Here, I'll take it.

- Thank you.

- So, you know how
to get ahold of me.

- Bye dad, thanks for the dog.

- Yeah, happy birthday.

(toy dog barking)

(suspenseful music)

- All flights are canceled.

There are no additional arrivals
or departures scheduled.

Please contact your airline
representative for details.

- Excuse me, miss, miss
you're not listening to me.

Miss.

- I'm sorry.

- You don't seem to
understand what I'm saying.

- All flights are canceled.

There are no additional
arrivals or...

(dramatic music)

- You guys flew
down from Collins?

How's it going up there?

- Unbelievable, they
closed the base.

- They really think
we're gonna need

one of these down here?

- They just hand me an order.

- What's with all these crates?

- 50,000 body bags, sign here.

- All airport units.

Terminal three, departure
level, man with a gun.

Terminal three, departure
level, man with a gun.

- LAPD, move, move
out of the way.

(people gibbering)

- Help!

- Move, move.

- Hey, hey.

- All flights are canceled--

- Go right.

- Please contact the airline--

- Get back.
(loud clicking)

Out of my way, out of my way.

- I have a ticket and
I'm getting on the plane.

- Alright pal, everyone
wants to get out of town.

That's the way to do it.

- No.

(gunshot firing)
(woman screaming)

- Give me the gun.

(loud grunting)

- We've got to get of
here, we're all gonna die,

unless we get out.

- You'll be okay.

- Oh god.

- Just relax, alright,
give me your other hand.

- I just want to see my family.

I just want to see my family.

- Airlines representatives.

- The airport's closed, go home.

- We can't go home.

- How?

- There's nothing for you here.

- But we're all gonna die.

(dramatic music)

- Your model seems to be
gaining credence, Dr. Kisler.

- Where's your
insipid counterpart?

- Dr. Tyson resigned
his post today

as chairman of the
special committee.

As interim chairman, I
would like to thank you.

- You could thank me by
getting me out of here.

I shouldn't be left
here to freeze.

- The chief of staff
signed off on your pick up.

- Just remember, I'm
the only one who truly

understands this
crisis, you need me.

- I'm sending you
encrypted instructions

with the time and coordinates.

- You're flying out
on Air Force One

and you're sending
me encrypted email?

- I warn you, there's
only room for you.

Key personnel, no one else.

- Of course.

- Good luck, Dr. Kisler.

- Good luck to you, Dr. Golding.

- Look, I don't want a lawyer.

What I want is for you to
go south right now, today.

Yeah, I know what
they're saying on TV,

I heard it in here on the radio.

They're lying to you
baby, they're lying.

- How do you know that?

- Look, I just got a
feeling, okay, trust me.

- Calvin, I'm not
gonna leave you there.

- No, there's nothing you
can do for me now, go.

Don't wait for me, please.

- I'll see you there tomorrow.

- No, I won't see
you here tomorrow.

Listen, baby, listen.

Listen.

(dramatic music)

- This is Shawn
Jameson reporting from
a temporary shelter

in St. Louis, Missouri--

- I'm gonna check on Max.

- Where the temperature
has dropped--

- Forget trying
to use your phone,

'cause I tried to call
my parents up in Seattle

and I just got some
weird busy signal

and then it just
completely went dead.

And I was watching on
the news and they said

it was really bad up there.

- Death toll could reach
200,000 in the most severe

weather conditions this
country has ever seen.

Shawn Jameson, St.
Louis, Missouri.

- I wouldn't worry about that.

They're use to this kind
of weather up there.

- In his final report
before he and many others

were buried when a
building collapsed

under the weight of snow, our
prayers go out to his family.

The streets were
deserted in Paris today.

But in Rome, a hundred
thousand of the faithful

braved the snow to hear a
special mass given by the Pope

in which he prayed for
guidance and a speedy end

to the disaster.

While in Great Britain,
legend has it when the ravens

leave the tower of
London, England will fall.

The ravens have departed.

Back after.

(dramatic music)

- Well, ravens
one, Pope nothing.

(suspenseful music)

(ambient music)

- Authorities are alerting
everybody to stay at home,

and frankly, there doesn't
seem to be much point

to going anywhere today.

Virtually all schools in the
area within the Orange County

all the way to Malibu
have been closed.

Most government offices are
only handling emergencies.

(squeaking)

(heavy breathing)

It's the first in
(mumbles), ironically--

- Pipes are frozen.

- Better.

Hey, what do you think?

- You don't get to wear these.

- Hey, why, no fair.

- Uh, I hated the military,
I hated the North Atlantic,

and I hated the freezing cold.

They remind me I can
make it through anything.

- Yeah, but they're
so cool. I want them.

- Yeah, well sign
up and get your own.

(chuckling)

- Oh, gotta get to work

- Hey, guy, gah, shh.

Uh, another cold day in hell.

- No, that was yesterday.

Today hell freezes over.

- There's some
obviously desperate

people are still trying
to get somewhere.

(wind blowing)

Drifts are covering
parked cars now.

(violin music)

(loud swooshing)

(engine starting)

(cracking)

(wind blowing)

(dramatic music)

(baby crying)

- Get her stuck with an
IV and get her up to three

with the others.

- Got it.

(baby crying)

(horns honking)

(dramatic music)

- Damn, it's cold.

- What's the deal, what's
the word from headquarters?

- There is no more headquarters.

- What are you talking
about, who's in charge?

Where we suppose to be?

- I don't know.

Smith heard it from
Myers, there's a regional

command in San Diego.

- San Diego?

- We're to help
out where we can.

They're setting up an
emergency relief station

at either the civic center
or the convention center.

- Well, which one is it?

- I don't know.

- Well, it's a pretty
big distinction when it

takes an hour to go
three miles Zapata.

- Look, he don't know alright.

That's all the
information they got.

- I'm sorry, I would just
like to know who's in charge.

- We're in charge
man, you and me.

You're in charge of
that side of the car.

I'm in charge of
this side of the car.

And we're both in
charge of the heater.

(sighing)

- Well, I'm in
charge of the heater.

(wind blowing)

(dramatic music)

- Sir, it's 60
below and dropping.

If we don't leave now,
it'll be too late.

- They survived Valley Forge
with just a few blankets

and rags wrapped
around their feet.

- Air Force One is standing
by to fly us down to Guam.

We're not sure how long we
can keep the runway clear.

We're not helping anybody by
staying here to do die, sir.

- Yeah, time to go.

(dramatic music)

(sirens ringing)

- Hey, mister man, you planning
on letting us all freeze

down here like some kind
of popsicles or something?

How about some heat huh?

Just a little heat, just
'cause we're friends.

I tell you what, you
can keep the heat.

Just send us down
some light, alright.

Somebody, somebody.

(siren ringing)

- Let's get it.

- Come on.

- Drake, forget it.

- What are you gonna
do, just stand here

and let this go on?

- What are you gonna
do, arrest everybody?

- Let me out, come on.

- (Mumbles).

- Hey, buddy.

(loud punching)
(man grunting)

Go steal your own groceries.

Here.

(dramatic music)

I gotta go checkout Max. I
told Allison I'd pick her up.

- Let's get her on the way.

(door closing)

- You should all go home.

We're closing down
after the night shift.

- What?

- Someone upstairs received
word the military's

gonna evacuate the critical.

- Uh, we can't close.

- There's gonna be emergency
medical centers opening soon.

- Well what's gonna happen
tomorrow when people

try to get here and
the door's locked?

- There hasn't been an ambulance
or a walk in for two hours.

People can't get here.

(ambient music)

- Uh, Drake.

What are we gonna do?

- South is the way I tell
you. Land of my ancestors.

Find me a nice fat
senorita to keep me warm.

Knock back some (speaks
in foreign language)

so I can feel my
toes again (sighs).

- You really think heap
of yours is gonna make it?

- Made in the U.S. of A.

I think I'll stop by the
mechanics before I go.

- Trouble getting to Max.

Allison?

- Well, if you don't mind,
I'll just come with you.

- Hmm.

- Look out.

(yelling)

(dramatic music)

(doors closing)

What are you doing out here?

- Try to get him up.

- You alright?

- Let's go, let's get
him in the backseat.

- You got it?

- It's okay, we got it.

- Okay I've got his briefcase.

- I got the door.

- Get the door, it's
alright, I got him.

- Get in.

(door closing)

(car screeching)

- I left my car, I just left it.

I started walking, no one came.

- Okay sir, just don't
move your fingers, alright,

don't move them.

- You have to take me to
that old naval station

north of Malibu.

- This isn't a taxi buddy.

- You don't understand. I have
to get to that naval station.

I'm Dr. Norman Kisler.

- I'm Zapata. This is
Drake, that's Allison.

Look, just sit tight, relax,
and take deep breaths.

(heavy breathing)

- The ship.

- Okay, doctor--

- The ship.

- I'm serious, Dr. Kisler,
you're really in no condition

to anything right now,
so just try to relax.

- You have to take me there now.

- Yo yo yo, okay, okay.

- Okay, so let's just calm down.

- Okay, okay, alright, alright.

- Okay Drake.

- So we're going to Malibu.

- This road's kind
of slippery, alright.

- It's a long trek up
there, so just put--

- I got it.
(loud smacking)

(loud grunting)

(gunshot firing)

(woman screaming)

(car screeching)

(woman screaming)

(loud grunting)

(loud crashing)

(dramatic music)

(wind blowing)

(dramatic music)

- Come on.

Come on.

- Drake, I'm sorry.

- You, you son of a--

- It wasn't my fault,
it wasn't my fault.

(loud punching)

- Drake.

- You don't know who I am.

- Drake, stop, you're
going to kill him.

(loud grunting)

Stop.

(dramatic music)

(heavy breathing)

- Come on, we can make
it to the storm drain.

Leave him.

- No, I'm not gonna just
leave him here to die.

- He was gonna shoot you,
he killed Zapata, come on.

Get up, get up.

(dramatic music)
(wind blowing)

(heavy breathing)

(dramatic music)

Come on.

(classical music)

(loud knocking)

- I'm coming.

Drake, what happened?

(heavy breathing)

- Blankets, do you
have some blankets?

(heavy breathing)

- Dad.

You're so cold.

You want some hot cocoa?

- I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.

- It's alright, it's alright.

I'm Allison.

- Julie.

Here, I'll do this.

Why don't you go get cleaned up?

There's a bathroom
right back over there.

- Thanks.

(heavy breathing)

(classical music)

Nice first impression, Allison.

- Envy of the nation, time
for those weekend barbecues.

Meanwhile, the rest of
the country will still

be shivering--

- They keep saying the
same stuff on the weather,

but I'm hoping there's
still more snow.

- That's two days old, they're
showing a tape of the news.

- Back to you, Bill.

(white noise fuzzing)

- Communications broadcast test.

If this were an
actual emergency.

(white noise fuzzing)

- You would be told
where to for information

about your local area.

This has been an emergency
communications broadcast.

- In an emergency, if
this were an actual.

(dramatic music)

- Oh Drake, you're
here. No, that's great.

We were quite worried about you.

A slight architectural flaw
when I designed this place.

The water in the pool
is heated to 75 degrees

and that's fine, it just
tends to be that excursion

from the pool to the
backdoor that gets you.

You look cold, may
I offer you a glass?

It's a Merlot.

Well, cheers.

(white noise fuzzing)

- Just because my
son lives with you

doesn't mean you know
what's best for him.

- I know but you two.

- You bet I did, you have no
idea what you're dealing with.

It's hell out.

- Look, I know you're upset
about Zapata and I am sorry--

- You should have
gotten out of here

when you had the chance.

- Why would we want
to leave this place?

- What are we gonna do if
the electricity goes off?

- If we hadn't stayed here,
you would be dead right now.

Both Greg and--

- Greg, Greg is
a pathetic loser.

- I will not have
you of all people--

- Okay, you guys, come on.

Let's just stop it, okay,
I mean, first of all

he didn't really mean it--

- Yeah, I did mean that.

- I think I would
know better than you

when he means something.

- Come on Max, back to bed.

- If we knew what was going
on, we could construct

some kind of a plan.

Here you are.

But the radio is out,
the cellphone's out.

Of course, I can't get online.

I can't get anything
on the radio.

- The information age is over.

- No, not at all.

I know what's happening.

And I'm the only one who
can get us out alive.

The government is
evacuating key personnel.

A ship's being
sent to pick me up.

- A ship to where?

- Equatorial zone,
quite livable.

You stay here, you die here.

This weather will
last for years.

- Years?

That's not what we've
been led to believe.

- They've sent me
a time to meet.

Day after tomorrow at 7:00 p.m.

- And which mid-level
bureaucrat is in charge

of this who lives
who dies decision?

- They told me I can
bring anyone I want.

- How long did they
know that the weather

would be this bad?

- Wait, wait, wait.

Didn't you say that we
need to get to Malibu?

- I mean that's 30
miles north of here.

- No, no, no, we can't go north.

I mean what if this
ship doesn't arrive?

In my opinion, if we
leave here at all,

I think that we
need to head south.

- I say we stay here.

We have everything
we need, right here.

- Yeah, I agree.

- Look, why don't
we just sleep on it?

(wind blowing)

- Allison, we lost the heat.

Electricity's out too.

- Maybe I can help.

(dramatic music)
(wind blowing)

- Help me with this (mumbles).

(wind blowing)

(loud grunting)

- Let's get the
flashlights, come on.

- Allison, watch
out for the glass.

(wind blowing)

(dramatic music)

Kisler, get your ass
down here and help.

- Help me with this.

- Hang on.

- Grab that end.

(glass breaking)

- Are you alright?

- Yeah, help me get it,
pick it, pick it up.

- Are you sure?

- That car was a wreck
when I bought it.

I had completely rebuilt
the engine myself.

I think I must have
ventured to 40 different

scrap yards trying
to salvage parts.

The ones I couldn't buy
I had custom machined.

(sighing)

- That's part of the first
building he ever designed.

- Well, now you can start
again, designing igloos.

- I'm gonna go get
more stuff to burn.

- Seriously, what
use is architecture?

- Please.

- Or the law?

Do we need lawyers now?

Useless, policemen, useless.

- Scientists?

- Science wasn't able to get
us out of this one, doctor.

- The only one who's
really useful is my dad.

He was the one who knew
how to make the fire.

(sighing)

- Drake, listen, even if
there actually is a ship,

you know, we have no way
of getting to Malibu.

- (Mumbles) there's a snow
vehicle at the police station.

If we can make it
through the night first.

I'm gonna leave as soon
as the sun comes up.

I want you to put
together food, clothing,

anything you think we can use.

- Thank you.

- Not those, and the books.

- Uh no.

- Give me those books.

- No, not these ones.

Listen, you don't understand,
these aren't just books.

These ones are art.

- It's not art. That's fuel.

Come on.

(dramatic music)
(wind blowing)

(loud crashing)

(suspenseful music)

(quite stepping)

(dramatic music)

(heavy breathing)

- Hey, anybody there,
you're gonna let us out?

Help, help let us out.

- Screw you!

Over here, come on man.

You can't let us
stay here and die.

- Have a heart.

- Visiting day so soon.

- Yeah.

- I'm telling you man, it
was all a misunderstanding.

- That's for the judge
to decide, I was just

doing my job.

- Well, the judge hauled out
with all your police friends.

You're what's left.

So tell me, is the
penalty for this death?

'Cause that's what you're
saying if you don't let us out.

- Congratulations, you've
all just been paroled.

(dramatic music)

- Hey.

Dirty Harry, don't you
walk away from me all smug.

(loud rustling)

Now, you're thinking.

- Look, I really don't
want to see you ever again.

- What?

Was that what we were
about Mr. Drake, huh?

You chase me, until I say
I'll go to the prom with you.

Then once we're there, you
dance with everyone but me?

I feel so used and dirty.

- Get out of here
before I change my mind.

- Go where?

Go outside in this (mumbles)
outfit and half a blanket.

What, is someone
sending a limo for me?

- I don't care where you go.

- I'm going in that thing
and you're taking me back

to my girlfriend.

- Right.

- You're goddamn
right I'm right.

You're just gonna leave me here?

Who made you in charge
in who lives and--

- If you hadn't got
yourself in trouble,

you wouldn't be here anyway.

- I was in front of my house

trying to chase off
some gang bangers

from holding court on my
lawn that I just received.

Wouldn't you?

Yeah I had a gun, wouldn't you?

But I get arrested.

Wouldn't you?

No, no, you wouldn't.

White people are allowed
to protect their homes.

- Yeah, I just feel like
crying for persecuting you.

- You ever drive one of those?

'Cause I was in
the army reserve.

I trained in those things.

You don't strike me as
the mechanical type.

- You weren't in the
army reserves, Calvin.

- I was all I use
to be in the army.

- Wasn't on your rap sheet.

- What is my rap sheet
my autobiography?

They don't put being in the
reserve on your rap sheet.

I do engage in other
activities that might not

make it into my trumped up
police records you know.

- Really?

I don't know how there
could have been any time

for anything like that.

- If you're gonna
concentrate on driving,

how you gonna keep an eye
out to protect yourself

from people like me, huh?

- Yeah, well, we're
both out of luck.

There's no keys.

- What?

So.

- Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

- I don't need keys
to start an engine.

They teach us in the public
schools where I grew up.

(engine revving)

Uh, you want to get
the garage door.

(dramatic music)

- Is that a compass?

- Yeah.

- It's very cool.

- He doesn't know
what he's doing.

- Relax, Calvin was in the army.

- I still think we
should have gone south.

I don't see why Drake should
make all the decisions.

- He makes everyone
do things his way.

- If you got a problem
with that Greg,

you can get out right now.

- Look, we gotta stop.

- I don't need your opinion.

- No, I'm just the
black guy driving.

- Yeah.

- I need another blanket.

- Drake's personality
isn't keeping you warm?

- Look, I'm not talking
about just stopping

so I can cash my public
assistance check--

- Don't make me put
a bullet in you.

- If it wasn't so crowded
in here, we all would

be better off.

- And who do you suggest that

we leave on the
side of the road?

- I don't mean this
personally, but I'm surprised

you came at all.

- Dude without her, you
would just be another

block of ice floating
down the LA river.

(toy dog barking)

- Max stop.

- She's a nurse.

Shouldn't she have
found a relief center

where her expertise
is desperately needed,

instead of deserting the sick?

- You know, I should
have killed you

when I had the chance.

(toy dog barking)

- Enough.

- Look, we gotta--

- Shut up, both of you.

- Drake, I think the least
that you can do is be civil.

You know, I don't
think there's any,

Max, could you please
put that damn thing away?

I'm sorry.

- My dad was right.

You're nothing but a
pathetic loser, Greg.

- I mean I hate to break
up this festival of love

but somebody better keep an
eye out for a gas station.

Because we're stopping
soon one way or another.

(engine puttering)

(dramatic music)

(loud clicking)

The needle was frozen, so
what, put me back in jail.

- Hey I didn't put you in
jail, you put yourself there

when you decided
to break the law.

- You got a receipt for
the rifles in this ride?

- No Max, stay inside.

I'm gonna go see if
I can find anything,

even approaching a
decent ladies room.

- Take this with you.

- What's this for?

- In case there's a lion.

Just pull back that
lever, flip the safety

and watch out for the kick.

- You don't think I'm really
gonna need this, do you?

- Go with her.

- No, I have seen all too
often what guns can do.

Forget it.

- Just fire off a round in
case there's any trouble, okay.

(sighing)

(dramatic music)

- Let me try.

- Hey, stop banging
on that thing.

You're just gonna dent it.

It's frozen solid.

- So how long you
been seeing Drake?

- A couple months, why?

- I see him every
other week and he's

never mentioned you before.

(laughing)

- Nice Julie, here I
was trying to figure out

why Drake divorced you.

Is someone in there?

(grunting)

(dramatic music)

Asphyxiation, they
left their heater on

until they ran out of gas.

- Ugh.

(heavy breathing)

- Julie, Julie, Julie?

(engine revving)

- What are you
doing with our bus?

- We're police officers okay.

We're waiting for
all of our friends

who are all police
officers, so we can

plant some evidence
or something.

- Eh, our apologies. We
didn't realize it was yours.

We'll gladly trade
you something.

We need some fuel for the APC.

- Oh yeah, what are
you doing with our APC?

- Hey, hey, listen,
my son is in there.

Let me get him out and
we'll be out of your way.

- Yeah.

- Max, come on, we gotta go.

Just jump into your dad's
arms. Okay, come on.

Come on, let's go, let's go.

(gunshots firing)

(woman screaming)

- Hey.
(gunshots firing)

- Drake, get me out of here!

(gunshots firing)

- Drake, give me a gun.

Come on man, give me a gun.

(gunshots firing)

Give me a gun.

- Not a chance.

(gunshots firing)

(glass breaking)

Ahh.

(suspenseful music)

- Just (mumbles),
don't just stand there.

(gunshots firing)

- Ah, ah.

- I killed him.

- Self defense. I handed those
cases all the time, come on.

(gunshots firing)

- Ah, ah.
(glass breaking)

(woman screaming)

- Don't shoot, don't
shoot me (screams).

Get me out of here, get me out.

(suspenseful music)

(gun cocking)

- Get down.

(gunshot firing)

(wind blowing)

Stupid chump.

- Max.

- Dad.

- You alright there?

- Yeah, I'm fine dad.

- Okay.

(dramatic piano music)

(woman crying)

- No, it's not even mine.

Listen, come here, it's
okay, it's alright.

We have to go this way, come on.

- I'm okay mom, it's okay.

- Ah.

Ah.

(dramatic music)

- Ouh.

- I apologize, it'll
just take a minute.

- Stop crying, what's your name?

- Jessica.

- Hold still.

Max, don't look, sit down.

- Max, come here.

- This is good.

There's entrance
and exit wounds,

but I've got to
stop this bleeding.

- You better pray
that I stay alive.

Without me, they'll never
let you on the boat.

- You better pray there is
a boat, 'cause I'll haul

you out and crawl inside
before I freeze to death.

- Guys, this thing is starting
to sound my grandpa's pickup.

We gotta stop, we gotta stop
or it's just gonna stall.

- Find some place to pull
it in, we're never gonna

get it fixed out in this stuff.

- We can fix this thing in
my girlfriend's garage man.

- We're not going to
Venice Beach, Calvin.

- I have tools here.

- Who asked you?

- We're gonna die.

We're all being punished
and we're going to die.

- Find some place, please.

- Yeah, okay, fine,
whatever man, whatever.

(ambient music)

- Whoever blew this bank
was dumber than paint.

Help me with this thing.

- I'll get the (mumbles).

- Make a fire.

- Wait a second,
I'll give you a hand.

- Dad, I think someone's here.

- Max, get over here.
(woman screaming)

Come on, come on get inside.

- Julie, get in.

(gun cocking)

(suspenseful music)

- Is this it?

- Yes, that's the
one, thank you.

- Hi.

Take a peek.

(fire crackling)
(dramatic music)

- I'm sorry.

(dramatic music)

- You think you
can fix it, Greg?

- I'm working on it.

- We don't have room
for more strays.

- Hey.

I wanna thank you.

You saved me life.

- Yeah, yeah, after the thaw,

just go ahead and add
it to my rap sheet.

(dramatic music)

- We've been here for hours.

I never thought
to burn the money.

- I thought you said
you rebuilt your car.

- Yes I did, however,
I had manuals.

I had parts.

- I need more blankets.

- You're not the
only one who's cold.

- But I'm the only
one who's bleeding.

- I have another box
with some sonic wrenches.

- Alright, I'll get it.

- Drake, I don't actually
believe that Calvin

was in the army.

- Said, if we get out of this,

I wouldn't mind taking
your case myself.

- Hey, don't worry,
Drake, I won't hold that,

what was it?

- Wrongful imprisonment.

- Right, right,
wrongful imprisonment.

I won't hold that wrongful
imprisonment against you.

- You get the other tools.

- He thanks a lot for setting
Max straight about Greg.

- Hey, he's grown up. He's
entitled to his own opinion.

To his opinion or to yours?

- What do you see in him?

- He actually believes
that Calvin was something

other than a fraud.

- Yeah, Greg isn't like
you, Drake, he likes people.

He believes the best about them.

- Yeah. That's weakness.

- No, that's his strength.

- My parents are
really religious.

My dad's like this always
smiling alder man or something.

When stuff like this happens,
I just hate them even more.

- I don't think you hate them.

I think that you're probably
worried about them now.

- Well, I'm not.

- Did they really throw you out?

You ran away?

Why, Jessica?

- I tried to call them and tell
them not to worry about me,

but the phones were
out in Sacramento.

- Are you pregnant, is
that why you ran away?

- Please don't tell anybody.

- Plan on having a duel
with me there, huh Greg?

- I didn't realize you were
going to bring in arsenal.

- What is this half this stuff?

- That's mine, thank you.

(dramatic music)

I don't know why, I suppose
I had to save something.

Something of civilization.

I guess I thought everyone would

save a volume of Shakespeare,
but who would save Dante?

We've lost all the hydraulic
fluid. We can't replace it.

- Appropriate choice Dante,

in the fourth frame
of the ninth circle.

A last stop in hell,
he describes the worst

possible punishment, the
people there are sealed in ice.

- Right, well book
club's over, doctor.

How we gonna get
this thing going?

- The elevators.

You will find the hydraulic
fluid in the elevators.

- The white man brought
us here in chains.

The white man brought drugs
into our neighborhoods.

The white man sent bombs
and missiles up into

space and stuff, which
caused the greenhouse effect

and made the atmosphere
so hot, that it got cold.

- Yeah, the white
man made it snow.

- Sure, he's white,
he likes things white.

The government made it
snow so it'd be easier

to spot decent black
folks and round them up.

- If you weren't concerned with
the rhetoric of oppression,

maybe people would
take you seriously.

- Excuse me, I'm gonna need
some more of this fluid.

- Come on.

- Yeah, well maybe I should
have saved all my money up

from that minimum
wage job and opened up

a boutique or something.

You want serious friend,
we're going through Venice.

- No, we're not.

And you may have saved
my life, but that does

not make you my friend.

- Yeah, well, think about it.

I'm your favorite adult
male on this trip.

Who else, Greg's an elitist.

Kisler's got that whole
today Malibu, tomorrow

the world thing going on.

And the new rich guy
is just plain spooky.

So if we're the last
ones alive, you and me

are gonna be hanging
together, friend.

(dramatic music)

- Drake, I'm gonna need to
replace some of this wire.

- Yeah, I brought some.

I brought some.

- Do you need some help?

- No, I know I
brought some wire.

I must have set it down.

- Will this work?

- Uh, that's okay,
we'll be fine.

Thank you, Max, this is
great, this will work fine.

Thank you.

(fire cracking)

- When Gretchen's father
passed away, he left a sizable

legacy, for the Brentwood
Presbyterian Hospital.

Carter Pavilion was
dedicated last March.

And there's a plaque
above the entrance,

a five by seven inch
plaque, bearing his name.

It's bronze, it's very
tasteful, yet when my wife and I

brought our little Lisa to
the Carter Pavilion at the

Brentwood Presbyterian
Hospital, they turned us away.

I'm a bond broker you know.

I've amassed what most people
would consider a fortune,

and that's it.

That's my life's
work right here.

But I'm gonna tell
you something,

I thank God that's here
right now, keeping us warm

instead of in some five
by seven inch plaque

at the Brentwood
Presbyterian Hospital.

Yeah. That's all I have to say.

(sighing)

(dramatic music)

Gretchen, please
honey, Gretchen.

Please, Gretchen.

Oh Gretchen.

(suspenseful music)

Oh Gretchen.

(dramatic music)

- I didn't see him leave.

I woke up and found
her dead on the floor,

so I picked up the coat.

- Take it off.

- Someone should
have it, why not me?

- We don't have room.

- You can try it now.

(engine revving)

(dramatic music)

- It sounds pretty good,
Greg, you did a great job.

- Thank you.

- What?

(dramatic music)

- Dad, I think there's
something wrong with my compass.

- Let me see that.

- I'm gonna go to
find my girlfriend.

- What are you talking about?

- He's crazy, we'll never
make it to the ship.

- Calvin--

- Stop him.

- Turn us around in
the right direction.

- This is the right direction.

- Turn now.

- Calvin.

- Too late, we're here.

(dramatic music)

- I thought you said we were
going to your neighborhood.

- This is my neighborhood.

- Seven o'clock, the
ship leaves at seven.

- Come on, let's go.

- She could be here.

Help me man, help me.

- Maybe she got out
on time, I'm sorry.

(loud punching)

- You did this to me, I could
have been there with her.

I might have saved her man.

- Please, half of the human
population is dead by now.

All our friends,
all our families.

- Just shut up
before I kill you.

- Whatever happened to them
was their responsibility,

not mine, it makes me
want to live even more.

And now get in, before we
all die because of you.

(engine revving)

- That things going
down, come on, let's go.

(dramatic music)

Come on.

(dramatic orchestra music)

- We don't have time
for this nonsense.

The ship won't wait for us.

- We're not gonna just
live him there to die.

(dramatic music)

(man yelling)

- Come on, let's get (mumbles).

- (Mumbles) come on.

- (Mumbles).

- A number of men are injured.

- I have a bad
feeling about this.

- Yeah.

- I'm a nurse.

- Over there.

- Do you have supplies ma'am?

- With triage.

- Start here.

- We flew through some
intense hail back there

a couple of miles.

As you can see, it
tore us up pretty bad.

- You guys got
another unit around?

- No, not that we know of.
There's no chain of command.

Pentagon stopped transmitting
orders yesterday.

- Well, what about
the President?

- He's dead. Went down two
days ago on Air Force One.

- No, I'd like you to stay here

and look after Jessica, alright.

(grunting)

- That's it, just press
down hard, that's it.

- What the hell you people
doing out here anyway?

Aren't you headed in
the wrong direction?

- We got a science
expert with us,

we're headed up the old
naval base north of Malibu.

The government's sending a ship

to pick him up at 1900 hour.

- A ship?

- Why's he so important?

- He's the only one with
a pocket calculator.

- We can't (mumbles) to
Malibu in three hours.

- Well, we can catch
a ride with them, sir.

- Listen, we don't have
room for all your men.

But if we got rid of our gear,

I think we can make
room for your wounded.

We'll take them
up, send help back.

- Sounds like a good plan.

- Let me see what you got.

(dramatic music)

- Assemble the men, sergeant.

- What do you have in mind, sir?

(dramatic music)

- No, what are you doing?

- Max, don't.

- Stop.

- Get away!

- Oh no, hey.

(suspenseful music)

- Kisler!

- Give me that, hold your
fire, hold your fire.

(gunshots firing)

- Wait, stop, my son's in there.

(gunshots firing)

(suspenseful music)

(grunting)

(gunshot firing)

(dramatic music)

(grunting)

- Max, are you okay?

- Are you alright.

- Thank god.

(heavy breathing)

- Why?

- The ship was
sent for me alone.

You were never being
allowed to go on.

I'm the important one,
you are nothing, nothing.

(dramatic music)

- Do really think if
we get to the ship,

they're not gonna let us on?

- No, they'll have to.

Don't tell the others.

- Now, there's room for one
more. I'll take my weapon.

- Make as much space as you can.

We'll get our wounded ready.

- I've been in a
lot of negotiations.

This one's going south.

- Sir, that is not your problem.

- Sergeant, assemble
the units. Fall in men.

- There's too many of them,
I say we make a run of it.

- Fall in now, listen up.

We're gonna load our wounded,
and then the rest of us

are gonna hunker down (mumbles).

- Sir, why don't they
hunker down here?

- (Mumbles) wounded and
children to freeze in the cold.

I'm sorry.

- No lieutenant, I'm sorry.

(gunshot firing)

- Get inside, everybody
get inside, let's go.

Get in.

- What are we waiting for,
let's take that thing.

- Quick.

- Alright.

(gunshots firing)

- Get down, get down.

(gunshots firing)

- Greg.

(gunshots firing)

(man yelling)

(gunshots firing)

- Get back inside.

- Can I help you?

Uh.

- Allison.

- Stay down.

- Get her inside, get her.

Get her inside.

- Come on, get in.

Put your leg up.

- That's it, I've got you.

- Hell.

(dramatic music)

- Come on.

Get in.

(grunting)

- Max, up front, watch your leg.

(dramatic music)

- It's a miracle,
it's a miracle.

(dramatic music)

(engine puttering)

- Okay, just leave
it, just leave it.

(heavy breathing)

(engine puttering)

(dramatic music)

- It's all torn up under here.

This is bad.

(wind blowing)

- Calvin, why don't you
show Jessica and Max

what's wrong, maybe they
can come up with some ideas.

- Come on Max, come on.

Come on Jessica,
come on, come on.

- You've got about a mile
left, but you've only

got a couple hours.

You're gonna have
to leave right now.

Allison can make it, if you
help her. I'll stay here.

- No, no Drake, we're not gonna
leave you here by yourself.

- Alright, come on.

That's it.

(door closing)

- You know you can't
make it with me.

You're losing time right now.

- Well, then I'll just
stay, I'll stay with here.

- They'll need you.

- But you might need me.

- I don't love you Allison.

I didn't want those to
be my parting words,

and I don't meant to hurt you.

I just don't love you so much.

(dramatic music)

- Yeah, well, I
don't love you too.

(dramatic music)

- We'll make it. I promise.

Oh god. Here.

I think this should
do, run quite nicely.

- Come here, son.

I want you to go with
mom and Greg alright.

Catch up with you guys later.

- Okay.

- When you get to the ship,
you give that to Allison.

Wait til you get to the
ship though, alright.

Alright, give me a hug.

Alright, go on.

Okay, go.

(dramatic music)

(heavy breathing)

They gotta make it.

Gotta make it.

(dramatic music)

- Okay.

Come on, get up.

(heavy breathing)

- The ship, the ship
is going to come.

He said it would come.

- God, I wish Kisler was alive
so I could beat him to hell.

- There's not going
to be any ship.

- It's all frozen solid.

- We can't give up now.

- We just left him back there.

He's back there alone and
he hates the cold so much.

There's not going to
be any ship (cries).

(dramatic music)

We gotta go back for him.

- What if it comes?

- Even if it does come,
I don't think they're

gonna take us.

- What do you mean?

- Kisler lied to us.

He lied to us to get
us to bring him here.

Then he said that they
were only gonna take him.

(heavy breathing)

(dramatic music)

(loud cracking)

(suspenseful music)

- Which of you is Kisler,
Dr. Norman Kisler?

- He is.

- Welcome aboard.

- Yes, thank you.

- Captain Parker, this
is First Officer Lane.

- Captain, we left a man.

- Guys, give him some help.

- Medic, this woman's sick.

- Come on ma'am, just
sit her down right here.

- Get some food for
these people, make
sure that (mumbles).

- Yes sir, I shall do it myself.

- Captain.

- Yes sir.

- Do you have any form
of snow transportation

on board this vessel?

- We do, but I'm not losing
anymore personnel to this cold.

- I see, there is a man
that we left behind.

He's not far.

- I'm sorry doctor, we
are here for 45 minutes,

awaiting orders.

If we don't receive
them, we move one before

this ice encases us.

- Yeah, but please--

- Listen, do you realize
who you're saying no to?

- I don't think
that your superiors

are gonna be too
happy about this.

- I wish I could
help you Dr. Kisler.

Your friends are
more than welcome.

As it is, we had 200
scheduled picks up,

out of which we now
have 35 passengers.

First officer will show
you to your quarters.

- Captain, I'm sorry
sir, I'm afraid I can't

accept that answer.

- There is no other
answer Dr. Kisler.

- Listen up your starched shirt
underwater Popeye bastard,

the man who saved us is
out there freezing to death

about a mile from here.

- He was a navy seal, sir.

- He's that kid's
father, that woman's ex

and that woman's current.

And if you're not gonna
send one of your pack

of cowards to go get him,
give me the equipment

and I'll go myself.

If you can't spare the
equipment, let me off now,

I'll walk by and drag him here.

If you want to leave
without me, fine,

I'll take that chance.

- I'll go with him, sir.

- You see, what have
you got to worry about?

I'm not gonna steal
your equipment.

Dr. Kisler's coming with me.
He'll sign for the damages.

(dramatic music)

- Please.

(dramatic music)

- Wayne, instruct these
gentlemen in the use

of our snow mobiles.

(engine revving)

(dramatic music)

(engine revving)

- Surely, you can wait a
few minutes for Dr. Kisler.

- I know he's not Kisler.

No matter who he is,
we're leaving whether
he's back or not.

- My dad asked me to
give these to you.

(dramatic music)

(engines revving)

- Drake, we're here, we made it.

- He's in the submarine, man.

He's real crazy.

- Get down.

- Ah.

(gunshots firing)

(grunting)

(dramatic music)

- So you guys gonna
get me out of here?

I'd sit around and read, but
this damn thing's in Italian.

- That's the only
way to read, Dante.

- Yeah, what are you,
ignorant or something?

- Come on, let's
get out of here.

(dramatic music)

- Hey (mumbles).

- I think we can find
a wire to fix him.

Don't think that should
be too difficult.

They say it's nice there, Drake.

Maybe you can chase me around

in some Bermuda
shorts or something.

(laughing)

- Hey, nice and warm for you.

- Oh I (mumbles) cold.

I'm telling you it was the wind.

- Yeah, whatever, right.

- Come on.

(dramatic music)

You know I use to
think that I liked you

because you were so tough.

But now I know I love
you because you're not.

(dramatic music)

- I'll take those back.

- Uh hmm (laughs).

(dramatic music)

(ambient music)
