we always knew that if we looked after

the planet

it would look after us

but we were always more interested in

looking after ourselves

by 2020 everyone was paying the price

global warming was gripping our planet

many countries became deserts and a mass

exodus of climate refugees began looking

for sanctuary

countries like the united kingdom

quickly became overrun

forcing us to shut our borders

but still there was no way to escape the

escalating energy crisis

as fossil fuels finally dwindled to

alarming levels

yet our appetite for energy remained

undiminished

with no practical alternatives to power

our lives

the world faced an uncertain future

our eyes turned to the arctic into the

vast oil fields rumored to lie under the

melting ice

i knew the situation was desperate but

fear the consequences of drilling below

this fragile wilderness would be

catastrophic

i needed proof so when my friend called

promising me the evidence i headed north

we're going down there spending your

life theorizing about climate change

hunched over a computer is one thing tom

now it's time for the sharp end

you've come this far

he beats briefing a bunch of suits at

the polar alliance

let's take it nice and slow tom one

wrong move out here can be fatal

uh

all right let's just make sure we stay

near the crevasse wall the ice gets more

fragile in the middle

okay let's fire it up

back in a minute

got a picture

okay it's up

my god this is so much worse than i

thought

the halo rig's drilling in this area

about 20k north but

they're constantly on the move who else

has seen this ben

and you're the only one i've managed to

convince to come out here

no one at halo wants to know

unsurprisingly oh

must have got stuck on a ledge or

something damn it

yeah you secure yourself here i'll see

if i can swing it free right so what do

i

stop my phone

how's that nothing

what's up the ice is shifting stay

against the wall until it passes

it's okay it's okay

it's okay

major point the arctic is an unforgiving

and murderous place tom

starting to take what we're doing here

personally

what the bloody hell were you doing out

on the ice in the first place tom

i needed to see what was going on out

there firsthand well that was not your

call to make

our remit is to check that halo's

drilling rig meets the terms of their

licence agreement full-stop there's a

lot more at stake here than a bloody

drilling niceness

listen to me you need to get your

emotions in check

they said that you could have been

seriously injured you could have put

halo employees in danger having to

rescue you

given what i found that's completely

irrelevant

as chair of the polar alliance i must

remain neutral and your job is simply to

present the facts

can you do that tom can you present the

facts

haven't you got a better jacket from

that the greenland ice sheet

is a fragile and endangered landmass

which

is why i must advise against the renewal

of halo oil's drilling license

these images were taken inside the

greenland ice sheet last week

they show rivers of melt water running

underneath the glacier

this means that the sea ice which holds

up the greenland glass here is melting

at a rate far higher than our worst

predictions

without the support of the sea ice the

glacier's destruction is inevitable

releasing billions of liters of water

into the ocean

this could desalinate the atlantic to

the extent that it causes the gulf

stream to shut down

the very mechanism which brings warm

weather to the northern hemisphere

if that were to eventuate the whole of

the northern hemisphere could be plunged

into a new era of year-round

sub-zero temperatures potentially a new

ice age

i'm sorry mr chairman my understanding

of the purpose of today's meeting was

that professor archer had some new

evidence that he wanted to present

i won't dignify what he's presented

today by calling it

evidence so let's concentrate on the

question of whether it's new

or not the greenland glacial system

is in a constant state of change it is

the nature of the beast

i'm quoting from the ice storm cometh a

book by professor

tom archer published some eight years

ago what we're talking about today

is the unprecedented rate at which the

melt is accelerating by unprecedented

you mean that you

and the other climate change experts

failed to predict it just as you failed

to predict the devastating

droughts in italy and spain yes that's

exactly my point what we need to do

is to learn from those mistakes and try

and avert the next disaster before it

happens

nobody denies that we are in the grip of

a massive climate change this is a

worldwide phenomenon

and so is the unprecedented energy

crisis that we're facing and the answer

to that

lies in the arctic and as far as halo's

work there is concerned

professor archer has provided us today

with precisely zero

evidence linking our drilling program

with any effect on the glacier well then

you haven't been listening

while i was there the sea ice was hit by

a glacial earthquake and i don't think

it's a coincidence that halo oil is

drilling a mere 20 kilometers north of

the glacier professor archer you deny

you're drilling in a seismically active

area halo is deeply offended by the

implication that we would in

any way neglect our environmental

responsibilities but that is precisely

what you're doing simon you need to act

you need to suspend

all drilling and mountain investigation

the reason that we were awarded the

license in the first place was because

of our impeccable record on green issues

our chief executive anthony kavanagh

two-time winner of the year

this is not about halo well this is

ridiculous

it's about whether anyone be

thank you you know over the years halo

oil has sunk

more than 20 wells along the san andreas

fault in california

one of the most seismically active areas

in the world

mr cavanaugh can i please have a word

it's time isn't it yeah no hard feelings

about what happened in there huh

oh look doctor fidget's just doing her

job as she sees it

if you're a man she says you are surely

you don't want to be held accountable

for an environmental disaster

see tom i should understand that you and

i are on the same side

the arctic was always going to be

drilled one way or another with the fuel

shortages that we've had

so i fought tooth and nail for halo to

get the contract to keep the cowboys out

because you see

tom sustainability is everything to us

mr cowan could you please reconsider

of course i'll look into it we've put

half a billion dollars into this search

but if i thought for one second that we

were damaging the ice i'd pull my people

out of there

and never look back with due respect

mr cavanaugh you you are damaging you

are damaging the ice

what the hell was that about i should be

asking you that

we have to work within the system you

know that as well as i do right so we

can keep protecting companies like halo

these things take time that's the one

thing we don't have

we've known each other for a long time i

have never seen you this out of order

i've got to hand it to kavanagh using

sarah fitch was a brilliant bit of spin

put the world's leading environmental

legal consultant on retainer for your

petroleum company

listen i'm sorry tom but after today's

hearing i have no choice but to renew

halo's drilling lessons

it was a passionate speech tom but we

need more than instinct and emotion

so that's it tom if you could have

provided just one piece of irrefutable

evidence that proves that what's going

on in greenland is because of the

drilling process then i could stop it in

an instant

until then we're in the middle of an

energy crisis and i can't tell the prime

minister he'll have to deny people the

right to heating next winter

at what cost

tom i'm resigning

really simon what is being broken today

is not gonna go back together again well

i think it's a good thing you're having

this time off

i'll keep our regards to your father

in position now lock down

commence drilling

hydrostatic pressure is

good

listen up about to hit seabed

prepare for a little bump okay we're all

set

2 600 feet

nice and steady panic drills nearly at

the seabed

keep going show me the money

all right

what the hell's going on

it's rising rapidly what is it

she's gonna flow

get him in here come on

what the hell's going on

nothing out of the ordnance it looks

pretty bloody major to me son

it happens all the time on oil rigs come

on the rig looks okay

the boys will through the rest of it

away

dr pedro and the med maker keep him out

of sight

hi you're early

well i see it's shattering on your

senses as cheaply as possible this

evening

not much to celebrate i quit

tom what happened i just

hit the wall i keep saying the same old

to the same deaf ears and i just

ah this time i was so sure i had a case

and then i blew it

we'd better drink this crap come on

nice sweetheart all right

i'm gonna finish our game tonight after

dinner milly

we invited her up to connecticut for the

summer holidays

amy what were the teeth so not only does

she not want to go to the uk in the

first place now she's got a better offer

mm-hmm

did you say no what choice did i have

millie we need to talk

what's to talk about it's a done deal

like always isn't it look look

i'm sorry about your birthday but

granddad's been sick

like i said nothing to talk about

sweetheart no

just no all my life you've dragged me

from one country to the other

no regular school no regular friends one

apartment after the other

and now just when there's a chance i

might be getting a life of my own

we have to go back to england to see

granddad granddad

who's never remembered my birthday ever

or anything important for that matter he

doesn't remember birthday he doesn't

remember my birthday

so why is he acting like he cares now

i don't know maybe something's changed

yeah maybe

millie

they've got to stop drilling tulik the

conservation unit isn't here to make

those decisions bad we're here so

cavanagh can get his face on the cover

of planet magazine again

we're here that's the point

they get their pr we get to monitor the

ice

what's wrong with that ben

any sign of our polar bear family no no

no fine plenty of sign of what halo's

doing to their home though

oh and you'll be pleased to know you

made archer's just been trying to get

the polar alliance to shut the rig down

trying hmm sarah fitch made quite a fool

of him so i hear if they shut down the

shriek

we're out of business too oh by the

detail i know

us losing our jobs when work is so

scarce but that had occurred to you

hadn't it

you know i just don't get you guys i

mean we're supposed to be halo's

conservation unit oh come on ben

you seem completely prepared to ignore

the effect they're having on the ice

just so you can protect your own little

fiefdom we're not

ignoring anything in the whole time

we've been here

you haven't come up with one eye order

of evidence linking halo with the melt

yeah maybe i have this time

how long have we lost quinn i need nine

hours at most bus we'll make sure that

is the max

i got three of my most experienced

riggers in the med bay dr petrov

how long till it could be back at work

doing what i'm paying them to do

they got badly toasted a few weeks

minimum

bring on some of the rotation crew that

wasn't any ordinary blowout

the guys are worried here all right

double pay to anyone who'll stay the

course

maybe that'll settle a few nerves the

conservation guys were there when we

were cleaning up

ben jameson seems very close to

professor archer

well adam will call you once we've got

nothing to hide

yep

i feel like it's all been for nothing

do you know what i mean i feel like i've

all the all the time upending us

all the months away from you and millie

i feel like

all of it has been for nothing

that's just not true well it's not for

nothing

you're a good man

i'll just quickly

quickly get it i know it's a mistake but

i'll do it anyway

heard you got your ass kicked yeah he

was a disgrace

sarah fitch don't let it looks full

loose is like a rottweiler with lip

gloss

ben we've got a pretty bad line i can

hardly hear you

there must be atmospheric interference

bad weather closing in look

listen tom i've got it okay i've got

everything we need to shut them down

i can't help i i quit look it's far

worse than i thought

i'm running some tests now ben can you

hear me i've resigned from the polar

alliance

you what no one from halo or

the alliance or from anywhere listen to

a thing i said

okay you and i are alone tom listen you

can't give up on me now okay not now

look i'd love to help but i'm out of the

picture now yeah but this is beyond

doubt

okay listen

i need you to meet me 82nd floor of the

north building

ellsworth street east okay the meeting's

gonna last 14

minutes tom do you copy that no i don't

understand

ellsworth 82nd

floor of the north building ellsworth

street

is going to last 14 what meeting ben

i couldn't get that sorry tom

tom what was that about

the weather's cut communication regal be

off the air till it clears

i'm not going

i've quit i'm not going

tom you can't not go

you have to go and find out what ben's

talking about

i'm coming with you and millie i'm not

i'm not with the polar alliance anymore

it's not like i can just go out there on

my own why is there some way that you

can get yourself no

they're just gonna walk away this is it

it's not who you are

be in london by tuesday family's

birthday

milly

your timing really sucks sarah sorry to

cut into your down time but um

i need you back in greenland i'm afraid

i'm gonna do that till next week there's

been a blowout of the rig

nothing serious gas pocket gas

yeah i think we're getting closer but

the way archer came after us at the

polar alliance forum i'd

just feel better if i knew you were

there making sure no one finds a way to

twist

this you know okay i'm on it and by the

way

i thought we had an agreement about this

rock climbing

it's what i do anthony it keeps me sane

you're important to me sarah i worry

about you

ohagosamas

come on you're gonna miss your flight

oh it speaks my mistake won't happen

again

darling you've got a plane to catch too

we can we can take care of ourselves

okay i love you i love you too

i love you

i'll see you soon be careful out there

it could have been a bit nicer i'm sorry

we got about a half hour window here

thank you

sorry there's always one

professor archer dr fitch

what are you doing here i'm trying to

beat the weather what are you doing here

i'm just exercising the polar alliances

right under your licensing

agreement to make regular monitoring

visits please you're out here two weeks

ago will you get it in your head halo

isn't doing anything wrong

you keep saying that you might and not

believing it you're out of your depth

archer

you should have realized that by now

bravo romeo alpha halo 2-0 ready for

takeoff

northern european countries have

launched a security crackdown

after a new influx of illegal immigrants

attempted to cross from the south

the measures are causing widespread

disruption and

yes

next

you were lost in britain in 2012 that's

right you were here for the olympics

and what have you been doing in the

united states oh you know

playing baseball and saving the world

i'm sorry she's tired

um my husband is an advisor for the

polar alliance arctic preservation

subcommittee

you'll need to register with the housing

and national department within seven

days

seven days i'm married to a british

citizen i've lived

you'll find new information excuse me

you need to register at the european

national center

yes okay move on

stephen jackie

millie where's tom something came up

but he will be here by millie's birthday

work isn't it always

you can't blame him for being passionate

oh no it's one of the things i love

about him

not my fault i'm afraid he gets all that

from his mother's side

rest her soul so where exactly is he

the arctic a lone voice in the

wilderness

the harvest not bad this year the shiraz

is excellent

undertones of hedonistic blackberry with

a modicum of landshake

you got over that vegetarian nonsense

yet have you millie stephen

we saw this man get arrested at the

airport i knew they'd ramped up security

at the start of the european drought but

this was horrifying

inp were they immigration and

nationality police

they're getting really tired about who

they allow in

do you know they're talking about

chipping non-nationals at all ports of

entry

microchips under the skin like an

injection

it's a brave new world kids

sarah hey italic

weren't expecting you out here for a

while yeah it's a day for surprises did

you know that tom archer was coming

the polar alliance don't tell us what

they're up to

what about ben jameson they're pretty

tight right well most of the time ben

doesn't tell us what he's up to either

italic tom

nice to see you again it's been around

catch you later talk yeah

will do no he's out on the ice

do you know when he'll be back your

guess is as good as mine he left this

morning without logging a route map

damn it what's going on

if you just wanted to talk to ben we do

have a cons link

i'm just following up on my last visit i

have to be in england soon there was a

window

it's pretty routine fine

i'll set you up a bit

here we are home sweet home

i want archer off my rig you know

anthony

you're really starting to worry me no

i'm sorry

i was getting a little tired of this and

your friend jameson still had being as

bonnet about it

which is why i rather needed you out

there we need to know what sort of

nonsense they're going to throw at us

next now our answer ready

we can't let them shut us down now not

at this stage even for a day or two

reserves are virtually dry and the price

of oil has just hit an old timer if you

throw him

off the rig the polar alliance will

start thinking that he's actually onto

something

oh you're right you're quite right as

always

don't worry i can handle him oh i never

doubted that

not for a moment

you know last year we heard the guy pull

off the thumb

straight off the knuckle but the

bonus of working up here

plenty of ice to pack it in

they managed to find the thumb i did a

patch up and hello send him back to the

us

for full surgery you're talking about

michael

since the accident he can't play the

piano yeah but if you heard him before

that'd be a blessing right

you must be tom yeah i'm tanya

we didn't get to meet last time you're

here kiwi

get out of here the other one aussie i

always

take kiwi when i'm not sure it's the

same with canadians

pisses them off when you presume they're

americans be careful not to get too

pally tanya remember

this is the joker who tried to get the

polar alliance to shut this operation

down

well guys i just want a quick word with

ben and then i'll be gone

like i said before who knows when he's

likely to pull in and up your house

we gave up trying to predict what he'd

do a long time ago

really likely to be joining us maybe

just give her a little space

for a while yes i rather got the feeling

she doesn't exactly see this as the trip

of her lifetime

anyway

so tell me about the hospital stephen

the storm in a teacup couple of

dizzy spells lately you know how quacks

are ingrown toenail they're gonna bung

you in for tests

now don't spare my feelings what do you

think

hmm

it's not bad at all we're getting there

it's good to see you

what's the deal with this archer guy

he's got some balls i can tell you that

turning up here after trying to get a

shutdown

i wouldn't worry about it he'll be gone

soon it was jamison guaranteed

he was hanging around after the blow

yeah but that was no big deal

oh yeah you should tell that to the guys

in med bay there were injuries

why wasn't kavanaugh told about that of

course he was told

nothing happens on this rig he doesn't

know about

i talked to him yesterday and he thinks

a blowout was minor

yeah well it was a couple of guys

superficial rules three of my guys got

hurt

three okay no biggie sarah these things

happen on oil rigs all the time

doc will give you the lowdown nikolai

superficial yes i expect them to be back

at work

in a day at most okay then

harold hey

can you hear me i'm sarah fitch

halo oil senior legal rep it's about the

blowout

i already talked to quinn he told me not

to talk to anyone

harold i'm not anyone i mean i'm a head

of legal affairs

now i know you don't get sulfur dioxide

base burns from

a regular blowout can you tell me what

happened in the drill room

look at them 100 feet into the seabed

there was a gush of really hot water

pressure continues to mount on the

world's oil companies

as the energy crisis enters a new phase

consumer groups have demanded

transparency about remaining reserves

in a bid to alleviate public fears

however

violent protests across america have

escalated in response to the continuing

rise in energy prices

several people have been injured in

demonstrations against the soaring cost

of food and fuel

the president of the united states has

appealed for calm and reassured the

public that

every effort is being made to solve the

energy crisis

then it's tanya do you copy me over

this is the way he is okay

thanks

so

elsewhere

still pretending this is a routine visit

tom you turn up out of the blue

with a excuse for being here

now i find you going through ben

stuff look italic i'm just doing my job

all right i'm trying to protect this

environment

how about chickening with me before you

start nosing around look you've just

made it

abundantly clear that i shouldn't rely

on you for anything

despite what you may think we are doing

important work out here

and i'm not gonna let you stuff that up

and since we're talking about each

other's jobs i'm pretty sure yours

doesn't involve snooping through

people's personal property

okay

hi stranger how are you sweetheart

you're still on the rig aren't you look

i'm sorry about millie's birthday but

i've got to stay out here a bit longer i

haven't managed to catch ben yet he's

out on the ice somewhere

tom i hope what you're doing up there

makes all this worthwhile

that's all i'm gonna say ben's on to

something trust me

sweetheart i need you to do me a favor

can you access his message from the hub

just the last bit yes hold on

okay he should be on now okay i need you

to meet me

uh 82nd floor of the north building

ellsworth street east okay the meeting's

gonna last 14 minutes tom what's that

about

okay it's code for a map reading out

here

somewhere

elsewhere street east 40 minutes that's

the line of longitude

it's building 82nd floor that's a

latitude okay it's less than 10 miles

from here

tom you can't go out there alone be all

right

i'll be all right what are you doing in

here

and um could you uh remind me

don't let me forget to pick up some duty

free from millie just a quick call to my

wife

this area is restricted you want to make

a call you go through the polar alliance

comms

okay and you okay that with quinn first

okay can i just finish this call

make it fast

tom what's this about it's just better

if nobody knows what i'm up to out here

you can't do this on your own if that's

what's happening get out

get out come here and just let the polar

alliance sort it out

i hope the polar alliance is toothless

just trust me one more day

i promise i've got to find ben's

evidence

it's the future of the arctic the whole

planet's at stake

come home please come home

fine

north 82 east 14 got it what am i

supposed to be looking for

if i knew that i wouldn't need to send

you out there would i

how'd you get these coordinates keep

your enemies close

you think i'd let the polar alliance on

my rig unmonitored no no

no no i need to know what they think

they've found out there

it's too much at stake here anthony

that's gotta hurt

come on ben where are you

where did you learn or read a map

are you going to help or just watch

is that a serious question

so where are you from i know italy but

what part well that's a matter it

doesn't exist anymore

sorry

was it really as bad as they say

your father's a climate scientist

you don't know you live with it all your

life

it gets a little you know

boring no

it gets a bit like there's never

anything else to talk about

i was only ten when it started

my father said that we had never had a

summer that hot

i thought it was beautiful

until october came

then november still no winter

it was at christmas when people started

to panic

the food and water ran out reservoirs

burned dry

riots everyone tried to head north

and then they shut down the borders

if it wasn't for your grandfather

i would be dead

you know it was tom's idea to plant

these vines

when he was a student

everyone thought he was mad including me

he's always had a knack for being ahead

of the game

so it's one endless glorious summer now

yes but at what cost

i can't deny it i love my life here

but honestly if i thought it meant some

respite for those

poor buggers in southern europe

i'd go back to the way things were in a

shot

what hap what's going on

sarah found him it's ben jameson she

found him on the ice what happened

take him by apollo apparently

get him the mad day

i can't think of anyone less likely to

let himself be taken by a polar

you turn up here unannounced i find you

poking around in ben's room

you were out on the ice this morning

near where he was found

you jordan adults

what does that mean i mean that's absurd

ben's my friend

are those ben's things

this is all that he's left behind a few

specimen jars

um

so

uh

this organism shouldn't be in the arctic

ocean if it's linked to the drooling we

should stop until this is fully

investigated oh what we have to do is

not overreact

now think about it what you have is some

dubious test tube sample from an even

more dubious source let us not discount

the possibility that he set you up to

find it

i don't think you understand ben jameson

died here

no i am aware of that it must be

horrible for you

i'm thinking of um setting up a

charitable donation

in his name i know the blowout was a lot

worse than you told me

sir we are this close to bringing that

field in

this close don't let me down now

anthony you're not listening to me

tom should be here he promised your

daughter only turned 16 once

anything about this family we never seem

to be able to get the things that matter

right do we hmm

ah here she is the birthday card

ladies and gentlemen may i present the

delightful reason that we are all here

this evening

millie happy birthday

hey

i'm sorry about your about ben

i know you guys were close

does this mean you're leaving why would

you presume that

i think we should share information you

must be

joking oh so you've identified it then

have you what was in the sample

you have to have the right password no

one's been straight with me since i

arrived on this rig

i don't like being lied to and i don't

like being used

well then you should have thought about

that before you started working for

kavanaugh

you tell me where you got the sample

from and then i will tell you what's in

it

excuse my skepticism you first

they're archaea microbes that thrive in

high water temperatures

did you know there was an accident on

the river oh i think the drilling's

opened up a hydrothermal vent

superheated water is being forced out

so hot water's flowing out from the

ocean floor

it's gonna melt the hell out of the sea

ice we lose the sea ice

there's nothing holding up the greenland

glass we lose that

we lose the gulf stream your prediction

could come true can it the whole

northern hemisphere could freeze over

so archaea that's the evidence

where did the sample come from ben was

the founder of the ice

north 82 he's 14.

your calls are being monitored yeah

you were little of course by the way

what did you find there i found ben

we need to go out there we need to go

out to where ben found the map

we we get images of this hydrothermal

vent

we prove that it's melting the sea ice

and then we go to the pond

sarah you do realize that this means

that halo will be shut down

okay agreed

doesn't mean we have to like each other

also agreed

oh granddad

i'm sorry it's a bit of an antique just

like you hey granddad

ladies and gentlemen i'm so so glad you

could all be here tonight to

celebrate the birthday of my

granddaughter

we would never make it i stay here we

die

it's a chance it's our only job

it has to be close we find it we swim

they've been out of the ice all this

time

well i've been on the comms for hours

trying to raise them

green called the search parties in

well anyone who goes out there searching

in this is going to end up

needing a rescue of their own it's a

white oat

face

halo 1 do you copy me over

sarah it's tanya

hypothermic but one first bite is pretty

serious

she may lose a finger maybe too but

she's strong

we should let her sleep

all right doc

are you feeling

like help

what in the pocket

and did you get that uh you know when i

drowned

i figured we'd need it

are we gonna play this

i think we give the evidence to peterson

as soon as we're off the rig and get

kavanaugh shut down

we've covered a 20-mile quadrant

we've got probe drills every 100 meters

drill deeper mr quinn and in the next 24

hours

the limits bus the only limitations mr

quinn

are those we impose on ourselves

with oil reserves reportedly at critical

levels several countries including the

united kingdom

have been forced to ration energy

supplies medical facilities and

emergency services

remain unaffected

okay you guys move it get those pipes

lowered

did you feel that it's really

it's locked hello

hello

hello damn it

hey can anybody hear us

hurry up

what i'm going out through the window no

sarah we don't have a choice tom

somebody out there is trying to kill us

if we don't stop them from drilling

we're gonna be dead anyway

now listen keep warm i'll be back as

soon as i can

uh

god

oh my god let's get back inside

come on

he's been with me for many years on

countless rigs

more dangerous than this

to meet his end in a simple fall it just

make us believe

i guess you never really know how or

when you'll go

do you

all right somebody give me some good

news

well we're down to 3 500 feet bus and

drilling

up your drilling is opening up thermal

vents

i'm really beginning to run out of

patience do you know what this is

archaea they only survive in high water

temperatures and

they're thriving out there you're

raising the bloody temperature of the

arctic

every foot you drill makes things worse

thank you though

you need to shut this break down now oh

worth peanut there

i've been on the sea ice i've seen it

with my own eyes any environmental

qualms you might have

aren't you they are a drop in the ocean

compared to what will happen if we run

out of oil famine wars and apocalypse

far worse than anything you or your

green buddies could ever imagine

and the answer to the world's energy

problems is right under our feet we just

need

time to find it we don't have time i

just want you to come on my rig

and stop me doing my job people's lives

whole countries are at stake you're mad

anthony do you have any idea what kind

of damage you're causing here

come on we all caused this global

warming climate changes all a result of

mankind's

reckless abuse of the planet i didn't

create the demand i just supply what

everyone needs

so take a look at yourself it's not just

me that's responsible it's all of us and

that includes you

and it certainly includes you

get him off my break who works for polar

alliance he's as much right to be here

as you do

well that's not exactly true as a

professor

no i resigned you what professor archer

is trespassing and because i've decided

to terminate your contract

so are you get him off my rig and take

the damn lawyer with him

kavanagh come on

um

what was that they've hit a thermal

event it's gonna break up the sea ice

quinn you need to evacuate this week do

you understand

you need to get everybody off this rig

now the siren

do something quinn get him down to the

holding bay get him down

guys

lock up until the chopper takes them out

she's going down

come on

let's go

go go

we're not going to make it sarah you

need to go faster i'm going

to do what you can come on

hello can anybody hear me this is tom

archer

halo one rig has been destroyed the

green and glacier is next

can anyone hear me

unlike the weather office to make house

calls mr

come in we need your eyes on this as

soon as possible minister

this satellite footage was taken over

the arctic an hour ago

blue is ocean white is icelandic that's

a mistake that's solid ice

there's no ocean there there is now we

sped up 30 minutes of

satellite feed the satellite shows a

sudden and catastrophic loss of sea ice

over the arctic

at first we thought it was an imaging

malfunction but

we have no rational explanation

halo oil i've got a rig about 20k from

the edge of the glacier

we tried to call them but all rights of

communication are down

didn't professor archer argue that if

the sea ice were lost the entire

greenland glacier would collapse

the huge volume of fresh water released

by the melting glacier

could desalinate the atlantic to the

extent that it causes the gulf stream to

shut down

if this happens the whole of the

northern hemisphere would be rapidly

plunged into a new era of year-round

sub-zero temperatures potentially a new

ice age

what shall we do sir minister

you need to get your entire team on this

right now

where are you going to try and explain

this to the prime minister anita

yes sir get tom archer on the line for

me he's at his father's place

i need him now

we really need to move oh god

come on come on

we've got to get off the sea ice this

piece of junk won't go any faster

next

once you've been processed you'll await

deportation back to your country of

origin

that could take days

not making a very good start are we

i'm just gonna have to wait

the docklands detention center that

that's all your people told me

jacqueline archer a-r-c-h-e-r grandad

various environmental agencies are

suggesting that thousands of square

miles of sea ice

are beginning to break up the cause is

as yet unknown

as are any casualty figures from

populated areas of this poland that's

where that

is we will bring you more on this

breaking news story as it develops

hey hello and in the wake of the ongoing

environmental crisis

jacqueline archer you must be able to

provide some information

three million square kilometers of ice

are being dumped into our ocean system

if all of the ice melts we anticipate a

global rise in sea levels of more than

seven meters

seven meters

and it's not just us

it seems likely that our weather system

will be affected

temperatures will soon begin to drop

unbelievable oh my god

because of climate change the sea's a

lot warmer than it used to be

the glacial ice will melt quickly

compromising the gulf stream

why didn't you warn me about this

professor tom archer described this

exact scenario in the briefs that i sent

from the polar alliance

do you know how many ministerial briefs

i get on my desk every day simon

you should have beaten down the door to

deliver this with respect prime minister

we had no concrete evidence

gchq has been monitoring the situation

in greenland but there was no way of

knowing right

we need a multi-agency response evacuate

all areas at risk raise the flood

barriers we'll try and arrange a course

yes but i want a meeting with cobra in

20 minutes emergency response room

simon you're gonna have to get people up

to speed on this

sit down

i know my rights i have right you're an

illegal immigrant

you don't have rights

stephen archer mr archer simon peace i'm

the minister of the environment

back there his wife said something about

an oil rigger

um well if you hear from him can you get

him to call me immediately there have

been news reports

staying with me she's very very worried

and the iron people arrested her mother

i'm sorry i'm gonna have to go

millie get your coat

we're going somewhere to find your

mother

granddad

monitoring stations confirm that the

arctic sea ice continues to suffer a

massive

and total collapse we can do without

already below freezing

the cold weather from the north is

colliding with the warmer currents in

southern europe

we're getting reports of force four

tornadoes touching down on dorset

hampshire sorry

what's this it's the biggest cold

weather front we've ever seen over the

uk

the gulf stream shutting down it started

how about we save introductions we're

back at the ranch

this whole shelf's gonna go any second

these images were captured by our news

teams over the past few hours following

the collapse of the greenland glacier

as violent weather patterns continue to

spread around the world

experts are alarmed at how quickly the

conditions have deteriorated

many are at a loss to predict what might

happen next

uh

international aid agencies raced to the

stricken area

to begin the search for survivors

speculations

stay here get in the back

let me help you

get on the bus

have you ever seen anything like this

help me please somebody help

somebody help me i'm in here

please somebody

come on thank you

what's going

are on okay

so

well they finally did it they destroyed

the greenland glacier

i can't believe you found us

we picked up a distress call from halo's

transport chopper this morning

i went to have a look lucky for you

thank you both of you i'm lammer

this is kenji we're up here making a

documentary about the polar bears

tom archer is sarah fitch

hey

the ice storm cometh i read your book

well you're the one

hey could you you've signed this

cool it's going straight on ebay

let me have a look at that

i have something that can help what is

this place

a u.s military listening post

mothballed after the last cold war it

smells very bad but

works very good okay

listen i really need to make contact

with london

and let them know what's happening

sure we can help you out cia left all

kinds of equipment when they shipped

out

got that satellite

the spy satellite comes overhead every

couple of hours

kenzie can fix anything

figured out a way to bounce signals off

of it

the horizon sea level has reached

hebrides viking and faroe isles

it's over five meters high canada and

scandinavia are suffering similar

catastrophic events

at the current speed it will reach the

north coast within two hours

we've only just begun to move people to

higher ground

how are we going to get all these people

away from the coast

hello simon can you hear me tom

thank god simon i don't have time for

details i don't know how long i've got

this satellite

the weather changes have started we've

had hailstones the size of cricket balls

so there's a title surge coming in that

we can't stop

listen that's only the start of it it's

already too late for some countries

the rise in sea levels will have already

devastated norway

sweden and iceland and the uk will be

next

look after the flooding temperatures are

going to drop in the whole of the

northern hemisphere -40

it could be worse at those temperatures

the water's gonna freeze

the uk will become an arctic wasteland

simon nothing can survive

what do we do go south way south

simon you've got to evacuate the entire

uk population it's our only hope of

survival

get everyone out get them out now call

your father tom

your family's worried about you good

luck

sir may i have a word

you mean we have to evacuate 70 million

people not possible

prime minister we we don't have a choice

the weather is changing faster than

anyone anticipated

the flood waters will quickly freeze

entombing the country in a thick blanket

of ice

we can't predict an upper rise in

temperature

for the foreseeable future meaning

the last ice age lasted ten thousand

years

this one is just beginning

god this is a message i've never even

seen snow before

it's going to get much cooler from now

on millie

grandad is that it

it doesn't jump friends

we're facing a situation of the utmost

gravity our only hope of survival as a

nation requires us to take the

unprecedented step

of evacuating every man woman and child

from the country the exodus south

must begin immediately keep that line up

until i've called my family

kanji hurry up thompson she's moving out

of reigns

it will take a moment to connect

okay

the new arrival stops in there okay find

the processing form and it'll tell you

your mother

my god

in the united kingdom the latest reports

on the ground suggest the evacuation

program

is being severely hindered by worsening

conditions as temperatures in the

northern hemisphere

continue to free fall the largest

migration in history is underway

with millions of people forced from

their homes to begin the journey south

with large parts of the country already

cut off

fears are being raised that much of the

population has already been stranded

the fate of these people is unknown but

what is certain is that the world is

facing a disaster

on an unprecedented scale

damn it what is it did you warn them

about what's coming

i tried and we lost the satellite so

it's two hours yeah

before we get it back give or take him

two hours

i've gotta get to my family

are you ready

this way

i'm very glad to see you raphael steven

it's good to see you too

you know where my mom is

i think so this way follow me

they're long-range tanks but i can't

guarantee they'll get you to london

if that's what's on your mind i'm a

qualified pilot

you're qualified nuts if you try it he

saved my life

twice i owe him your choice sister

if we stay here we'll die maybe

maybe not what do you mean look if i can

get this plane up you're coming with us

right

this place has been my life longer than

i can remember

it's all i know this is my home so why

would i leave

anyway if i'm going out

i couldn't think of any other place i'd

rather be

the glaciers collapsed and it's just

going to keep getting colder

tom was out on the ice he was out on the

ice

it's okay tom was there spoke to him

he's safe

but we have to get out of here he's safe

yes

okay come on we must go okay let's go

the arctic conditions have forced the

closure of all airports and grounded all

aircraft

as the evacuation process reaches

breaking point with transport links now

compromised

there appears to be no way out for those

left trapped in britain

the government is promising that no one

will be left behind

but as the weather worsens the reality

is that it now appears to be a case of

every man for himself look us up when

this is all over

you know where we are thank you lava

again

thank you take it easy sweet stuff

long way to go

sweet stuff

here we go

i'm gonna try that radio again okay

it's tom archer he's been patched

through on the emergency frequency

tom simon tom simon can you hear me

simon i need your help i've just left

greenland on route for london

no no no tom anywhere but here

all the airports are closed this there's

nothing london

london's finished top you got to go

south

like you said listen jaclyn is in the

docklands detention center

my father and millie have gone to find

her tom the pm has taken your advice

the whole country is being evacuated

if the weather continues the way it is

the whole city is going to be

snow and ice by the time you get here

you'll never be able to find a thing

simon could you just please send me the

the exact

gps coordinates of the detention center

of course good luck

what was that come on we've got to get

out of here

there's a rear entrance they brought us

to a transport bay

this way

what's happening it must be the

floodwaters

look out

uh

you all right

there's nothing left for us to do here

prime minister we have to devote power

to the local authorities and implement

martial law

it's minus 30 degrees outside and the

temperature's still dropping

if we don't leave soon it'll be too cold

for the helicopters to fly

do you think people will forgive us i

don't think anybody's worried about

blame right now sir

just survival good luck sir

you better get going the helicopter

won't wait but minister

aren't you coming i think 40 million

people deserve somebody from the

government going the distance with them

and i've got a friend that i'm not

letting down again

millie

let's get out of here

oh my

it's blocked try that way

be careful

oh my god

it's frozen

there's no way out here we have to find

a way to get higher up in the building

look there's an exit on the other side

of the building

leading to a stairway we have to tunnel

our way out i think that's too dangerous

this is the transport bay isn't it

millie what are you getting at

the buses can be our tunnel brilliant

milly

raphael move out the way okay watch out

raphael help me grab the back

all right just stopped

invasions from hostile nations

and my fellow countrymen i am certain

that we will survive

you know my dad used to talk about

winter

how it was in the old days before

climate change

like christmas that kind of thing he

gave me this toy once

uh it's no dome you know those things

a little plastic sphere you shake it and

the snow goes flying around inside

i used to try and imagine what it'd be

like

being in there well

i guess now i know

my home when the heat was worse

plants dying no water

so hot you couldn't even breathe

i thought we could never get any worse

these days is worse

should we keep going yes

um

so

there's a door i think i'm almost done

come on

try that one

the ice it's moving

the pressure on this building must be

increasing the whole time we'll see how

later it is

don't think about that just about

finding a way out of here

it's not moving it's me to stick

there's got to be a way out of here

we'll find a way out are you serious

your father said he'd send help

he knows where we are someone will come

you know what i used to say to him when

he was very young

and when he was low what

you've got to soldier

really

how does that make everything all right

not really i used to laugh about him

when he was older

shaft like a corvin bottle

and and climb our way out and then climb

our way out

at least this stuff's still good for

something

i think i was losing it out there

for a minute it's okay

i'm sorry you want to be with them

i understand it's just it's impossible

out there

suppose we have to soldier all

what my father

when everything's got really rough

you have to soldier on

you just have to believe that they're

going to be okay tom

it's hard to imagine i mean there must

be

millions who haven't made it what makes

my family so special

well if they are anything like you

let me have a look at this oh no no

really it's fine

oh god sorry

so

what's gonna happen what's gonna happen

to the world

to all of us

those who make it far enough south

there's a chance

but if we don't learn from our mistakes

there's no telling for how long

it's done right now get as far away from

the elevator shaft as you can

we'll be right behind you be careful

okay come on

ready okay

too much bloody moisture

it's never going to take

rafa why don't you leave this one with

we always knew that if we looked after

the planet

it would look after us

maybe now we will
