Terry Rapson [They're snowed in at Headland]
Luckily we've got our own genny, and enough tea and biscuits to sink a ship. Oh, we'll be fine! As long as the loo doesn't back up again.

Scenes with Terry Rapson
8 scenes Terry Rapson This is very odd. There's a buoy here registering a thirteen degree drop in ocean temperature.
Oh, yeah, that's right. That buoy malfunctioned the other day. I'll put a call in, see if there are any ships near George's Bank to get it.
Terry Rapson This buoy isn't in George's Bank. It's just off Greenland.
It is?
Terry Rapson Remote.
Terry Rapson [A third one in a different area begins flashing]
Make that three.
Terry Rapson We found something extraordinary... extraordinary and disturbing, that is. You recall what you said in New Delhi about how polar melting might disrupt the North Atlantic Current?
Yes.
Terry Rapson Well... I think it's happening.
Terry Rapson There are no forecast models remotely capable of plotting this scenario -- except yours.
My model is a reconstruction of a prehistoric climate shift. It's not a forecast model.
Terry Rapson It's the closest thing we have. Nothing like this has ever happened before.
At least not in the last 10,000 years.
Terry Rapson [Over the phone]
What I'm about to tell you is supposed to be confidential. Several hours ago, three helicopters went down over Scotland. They crashed because the fuel in their lines froze.
At what temperature does...
Terry Rapson [Interrupting]
Negative one hundred and fifty degrees Fahrenheit. I mean, we had to look it up!
Professor, It's time you got out of there.
Terry Rapson I'm afraid that time has come and gone, my friend.
Terry Rapson Save as many as you can.

What I'm about to tell you is supposed to be confidential. Several hours ago, three helicopters went down over Scotland. They crashed because the fuel in their lines froze.
At what temperature does-
Rapson -150° Fahrenheit. I mean, we had to look it up! The temperature dropped phenomenally fast! On the ground, people froze before they could get out of their cars!
Can you get me a satellite picture of Scotland two hours ago?
Yeah.
Rapson We've got mountains of data, but nowhere near enough computer power to analyze it. Can you help us?
Send us what you've got, we'll do our best.
Rapson Thanks, Jack. Bye for now. [hangs up]
This is Scotland at the time the temperature dropped.
[they see the image, which only displays hurricane-shaped cloud cover.]
This thing looks just like a hurricane.
Only hurricanes don't form over land.
