Lava Storm (2008) - full transcript

So, you do like him?

Well, why else would I be here?

A day with your big bro?

You think I would trudge
through this

to spend quality time with you?

No, actually, I don't.

I guess I'm privileged today.

Hey, thanks for setting this
up, Bro.

Yeah, I think Bob really
likes you too.

I mean,

I don't know why.



Sweet.

You mean about Bob, huh?

Jerk, I mean your attitude.

Yeah, well,
you're the pain in the butt

and I get to play chaperone, so.

You're leaving after an hour,
you promised.

Yeah, well, you know.

Dick.

Have you ever been in
here without Mom and Dad?

No, but who wants to
be around them anyway?

Mom's become a pain in the butt.

Dad's off who knows where.

I mean, does he even talk to you?

He doesn't to me.



All you do is argue with them anyways.

And you don't?

Emma, they have problems.

Yeah, like you're an expert.

I don't wanna move.

Gee, like that's not obvious, right?

When you turn 16 you'll see.

Everything changes.

Your friends actually
mean something to you.

Yeah, well, maybe

but I still agree with Mom.

We moved here for Dad and we
should move

back to New York for her.

Dad doesn't pull his
weight around here anyway.

Dad's not made for the city.

Yeah, well,
Mom needs more of a challenge.

Rescuing chipmunks or drunk
frat brats,

not her idea of being head
of Emergency Response.

They might divorce.

I don't think so.

Dad won't let that happen.

He may be somewhere else
right now

but he's way to smart for
that shit.

It's not like Mom doesn't care.

And how do you know?

Hey, Mom does care.

No, I mean about Dad being
too smart.

True, he did move us here
and that wasn't really..

No, Emma, I'm serious.

How do you know they're
not gonna get a divorce?

Hey!

I'll knock you over the head
with that.

I don't know if I'm ready to
do it.

I'm not even sure if I can or
want to.

No.

Send the separation papers off.

Just sit on them for a few
more days.

Probably some cat.

I'm sorry, I've got to go.

Just send them, okay?

Thank you.

Hey, hey!

Slow down!

You know what Mom and Dad are
always saying about rushing..

Hey, it's not my fault you're
that slow.

Trust me, Bob will wait.

Yeah?

And what about Christy?

Think the two of them might?

Those two together?

Please, they're probably
fighting right now.

I mean, Christy's my girl, okay?

Bob wouldn't

and Christy, especially.

Are you that trusting?

Hey!

You suck.

You suck.

I hope you brought some breath mints

for you boyfriend.

Ugh, funny.

Wanna go, huh?

Wanna go?

Hey! Hey!

You still wanna go, huh?

Get the hell out of here.

Oh, I hate this part.

Aw, you want me to hold
your hand like a baby?

Oh, funny, I seem to remember
you screaming like a girl

first time we came here.

Come on.

Don't get stuck.

Ian!

Ow, that hurt!

Don't touch me again!

Why is the water warm?

Weird.

Kinda like you.

Funny.

Bob, Christy, where are you guys?

We're late, yeah right.

More like they're late.

It's warmer than usual.

What's that smell?

I thought that was you.

Ha!

Funny.

Oh, glow sticks, all right.

Bob? Christy?

Oh, isn't that so you, Ian?

Bob, did Ian put you up to this?

Ugh, I think I lost my cigarettes.

Not that cool shit again.

Okay, fine, you too.

Play along.

Bob and Christy are doing
each other

and I'm so freakin' jealous.

You happy?

Bob, this is my brother's thing.

He's the idiot.

I'm not gonna stay here

if you're going to pretend to
be like him,

so please stop.

Guys?

My God, they're dead!

Come on, Guys,
even I don't think this is funny.

Don't light that cigarette!

Ian, no!

What the hell are you doing?!

The gas!

We have to get out of here!

Why'd you take me down? That hurt!

Because I thought the gas
might explode!

What gas?
Can't you smell it?

Smells like sulfur.

There's always been a
little smell in the cave.

Not that strong.

If it wasn't gas, then
what, what killed them?

Are they dead?

Yeah.

What the hell?

Let's get out of here.

John,

come check this out.

I can't make heads or tails
of this.

I think we have an out
of control campfire.

Are you listening?

John?!

Sorry.

What're we looking at?

Oh, not New York again.

Oh, not even close.

When did you start smoking?

I didn't, they're not mine.

Emma.

No.

Your son.

My son?

My son, no, our son.

When did Ian start smoking?

I found these in the living room.

They must've fallen out of
his jacket.

How can you be so sure
they belong to my son

and now your daughter?

She's the rebel without a clue.

Yeah, right, Emma.

Miss Vegan.

Okay, I'll talk to Ian.

In the meantime, enjoy your lunch.

Emma told me today that
she'll never allow

sushi in the house again.

Now all three cams are kicking in.

What?

Looks like we have three
small fires

on three different ledges.

This is from the cam on the
eastern ridge.

Campfires, right?

No, it's too big for campfires.

This was a few minutes ago.

This is now.

Lightening?

Arson?

There's no wind.

It happened simultaneously.

I better get out there.

Oh,

and I get to stay here.

Derek's on vacation.

Yeah but it's my decision.

Well then make it.

Hello?

Mom?

You gotta come and get us.

We were in the mine,
we found Bob and Christy.

We just got there.
They're dead.

Mom?
You gotta come and get us.

Mom, they're really dead,
we need you.

We're at the mine.

I think it was some
kind of gas coming up

from the pool in the mine.

John?

Yeah.

Check the landline.

It's dead.

Okay,

I'll grab the rescue
gear while you lock up

and I'll meet you at the car.

John, get Derek here now.

He's gonna have to deal with
those fires.

He's on his honeymoon, remember?

Miami?

And plus, no phones.

Look,

take the kids to my dad's
house, okay?

It's close,
you'll be back in no time.

Don't tell me what to do.

Okay, fine, you're the
boss but they're our kids.

What would you like me to do?

Find a way to call Sheriff Buckley.

Close the center down
until one of us gets back.

We need to get communications
back up.

There's three fires burning, Lori.

Without communications,
I need to be out in the field.

What about our children?

Fine.

You're the boss, okay?

But without communication,
I need to be out there

and there's nothing I can do here.

We'll talk about this when we
get home.

Fine.

Here.

Take this.

You might need it.

Be careful.

I'll do some investigating of
my own.

Sheriff Buckley, this is John,
can you hear me?

(Muffled)

Sheriff, you need to send a
squad car up to Old Rocky.

Lori's there with the kids.

Seems like Emma and Ian

found some of their friends
there dead.

We better stay put.

Yeah.

Some date.

Some of your friends are
dead and you're joking around?

Hey.

Remember when you used
to call me "Squawker"

just to tease me?

Yeah, you'd add into
anybody's conversation.

Yeah.

For awhile it was "Bubbles," right?

You were "Burnt Toast."

I don't remember that.

Hey, you remember how
we'd wrestle with Dad

and Mom would get all worried

because she would be afraid
we'd get hurt?

Yeah.

And Dad would pin you down?

You'd scream in French for help.

I'd come to the rescue.

Can you say it once, Ian?

(French)

I can't believe our friends
are dead.

Ian, Emma, where are you?

Mom!

We're over here!

Oh, thank God.

Mom, you have no idea
how horrible it was.

The most important thing is
that you're safe.

Bob and Christy are dead, Mom.

I asked your dad to call the sheriff.

You're both okay now, right?

Okay?

Where's Dad?

We have three small forest fires.

This time of year?

Yes.

I'm gonna have to go see
what happened down there.

You can't go in there, Mom.

It's part of my job.

Ash.

Mom, Bob and Christy are dead.

I know, sweetie.

I'm taking you both to
your grandfather's, now.

But Mom!

We need to get out of here,
all right?

No, Mom, I'm telling you.

You need to check out that mine.

Something really weird
is going on down there.

You need to figure out
why Bob and Christy died.

I'll do that later, Honey.

For now, follow me to the car.

But, Mom, I'm telling you.

Into the care.

That's a pretty good
fire up on the east ridge.

Dad, the kids are gonna
be here in a couple minutes.

Two of Ian's friends were
killed last night in the mine.

Cave in?

No, Dad, something to do
with the gas and these fires.

I hope to God they're not connected.

How could they be connected?

John?

Why aren't you at the center?
Hey.

Guys,

we got a really big problem.

Yeah but we didn't have

anything to do with it, right?

It has nothing to do with you.

Dad, Ian just lost two friends today.

Actually, this is about all
of us.

When are you gonna learn that
I'm not a guy?

Hey, come on, Sis.

Okay, you two are with Grandpa.

Great, just what we need.

Oh, God, I forgot.

When I get back,
we're gonna talk about that.

I'm glad you're okay.

You two, Baby.

Somebody needs to check out
the mine.

There's something really
weird going on down there.

I'm tell you.

Okay, look, in the meantime,

don't forget who's in charge
at Grandpa's.

Yeah, I am.

Funny.

Go save the world.

So much for your kids!

Take your truck.

We can save some time
getting back to the center

by going on old 95 by the mine.

You got 20 minutes.

I wanna stop by the mine.

There's something I want
you to see by the bridge.

Oh, John, we need to go,
we need to do our jobs.

Hot chocolate.

More like Crystal Five.

Feet.

Hey, look at this.

It's flat.

Just like your chest.

I'm gonna ask your dad something.

Seems to be dead.

How could the phone be dead?

Maybe the fire knocked out
a power line or something.

That wouldn't affect the phone.

Oh.

They finally did it.

They finally did it.

They finally did it.

Did what?

They finally did it.

They finally did it.

Grandpa.

The bomb.

What?

Nuclear bomb.

What else could it be?

There's a forest fire.

It's a power outage.

It's EMP.

So where's the explosion?

If was EMP, it would affect
everything electronic, Grandpa.

Like, do you have a watch
with a battery?

Or shaver?

That's it, Ian, you're right.

I'll check my shaver.

I'm in hell.

I've done nothing to deserve this.

Current thoughts about Bob, maybe?

What's EMP?

Electric Magnetic Pulse.

Grandpa's a loon.

Yeah, well,

he's a vet.

I guess he has a right to be
a loon.

See?

There's no bomb.

Yay, whoopie.

Oh yeah, that's right,
we knew that already.

So what is going on?

I don't know but I
wanna get out of here.

Are you sure EMP effects
everything electronic?

Everything, okay, I'm positive.

Unless the electronics
are heavily shielded.

Wind is from the east.

What could cause this from
the east?

What are you talking about?

I know, it could be a forest fire.

You know,
I used to be a Smoke Jumper.

No.

This ash fall's too heavy
for any forest fire.

Mom and Dad are out in that.

Looks like ash.

It is.

What the?

How can this be happening?

It's a volcano.

Lava without a volcano?

We have to warn the town!

This is part of something bigger.

What the hell do you mean,
something bigger?

John?

John?

Lori, there hasn't been a
volcanic event around here

in millions of years.

This is getting me really scared.

It's time to be scared.

What're we going to do?

The shelter.

Shelter?

You wanna go out in that to
get to town?

No.

We're not going to town.

Where are we going?

Nowhere.

My car wouldn't last 10
minutes in this stuff.

Great, so we're stuck here.

Well where is this shelter?

Are we walking?

Listen, Young Lady.

We don't know what's going on.

It's my job to keep you safe.

I was just asking a question.

This could only be caused by
a volcano.

Mount St. Helens is
a thousand miles away.

Actually, it's two.

Whatever, Mr. Geography.

The wind is to the east

and Helens is to the west.

I know, then what?

Grandpa?

Like I said, a volcano.

That again?

Do you have another explanation?

All I know is there are no volcanoes

that are close enough to dump
ash on us.

Well, one is doing it right now,

so where's this shelter?

Follow me.

And don't worry, I've seen worse.

Let me guess, you have
a secret bomb shelter.

Never in a million years
would I believe that you..

You could call it that.

A bomb shelter?

I could've used this when that
12th grader

was gonna kick my butt last
year, Grandpa.

You actually have a bomb shelter.

Hey, food.

How old is this stuff?

It's old, like me.

I haven't been down here,
I haven't restocked it

since your grandmother died.

I can't believe you just
stopped here.

We need to get back!

In 15 minutes, I wanna
see if there's a connection

between the mine and the bridge,
come on!

Remember when we used to come
up here?

How pretty it was?

Was?

It still is pretty.

Lori, when did this stop
being pretty for you?

I think this is about a lot
more than just our town.

Come on!

How long do we have to stay
here then?

Till your parents get back.

Listen,

Emma, I know you think I'm crazy

about the bomb and volcano theory.

And as far as I know, I could be.

Hey, that's not true.

But what I do know

is that as long as we're here,
you're safe.

We're safe.

Now, let's hope that I'm wrong

but what if I'm right?

So this is our only choice?

Yep.

Ugh.

Grandpa?

Grandpa?

Do you remember what a basalt
eruption is?

That's when lava erupts out
of the ground

from thousands of square
miles at a time, yeah.

Caused Permian Extinction
of the dinosaurs.

You think that's what's going on

and you wanna get closer?

Information saves lives.

Smell like gas?

Yeah, sulfur.

You think it could've poisoned
the kids?

Volcanic gases can kill off
an entire city.

Or more.

You think this could head
towards the town?

The batteries are dead.

Do you have any upstairs?

I think so.

I'll go.

No, we'll both go a little later.

We're all gonna be dead a
little later.

Oh, Emma, try to be positive.

This isn't an Old Maid deck,
is it?

No, it's just a regular deck.

Anyone up for a game of Spades,
Poker, anybody?

Give me a break.

I could play some Spades.

How about you, Ian?

Yeah, that would be great

but we need another player, Grandpa.

This can't be happening.

You wanna play cards and
our friends are dead!

Emma.

We'll be all right, Emma.

We'll be safe.

God, the air is so hot.

Wait.

My lead.

Your lead.

Damn it, I'm stuck!

I win.

Oh.

I'm getting pretty tired.

I know, it's weird, me too.

Yeah.

I wanna show you two something.

What's that?

What?

It's a scrubber.

A CO-2 scrubber to
decontaminate the air.

I wanna make sure that if we
fall asleep

we wake up again.

You know, when that door is shut,

it's almost an airtight seal.

Could we run out of air?

No, this is really just like
a CO-2 filter.

We don't have any power.

We do have power.

Those batteries are kept
plugged in and topped up.

That doesn't look that old.

We used to have these
chemical scrubbers.

This is much safer.

It's like what we used
when I was in the service.

I do know a thing or two about
this stuff.

Now it's safe to take a nap.

I will keep you safe.

They're here!

Look.

Volcanic glass.

Two thousand miles above sea level,

miles from the city,

super heated water?

How are we supposed to survive something

that killed of 90 percent
of life on this planet?

By using our head.

Come on.

John, I can't breathe.

Go.

The air's not so bad here.

Ugh, I'm stuck again.

You're not at thin as when we met.

Funny.

John?

John, hurry.

My legs are beginning to burn.

John?!

John?!

Hurry! Hurry!

My legs are burning!

Your parents,
they're probably just lost

or in a pickle somewhere

and we're gonna have to
get them out of it, so,

I want my rest.

So take a nap.

Nothing else to do.

Come on.

Come on.

The town!

Oh my God!

Ian and Emma.

Lori, we gotta get out of here!

Grandpa?

Grandpa?

Grandpa!

Grandpa, wake up!

Ian!

Grandpa!

Wake up!

Grandpa!

Ian!

Grandpa!

Wake up!

Wake up!

We've gotta get out of here.

Grandpa.

I've gotta protect.

Ian.

I've gotta protect you.

Ian!

Wake up!

I need your help!

Ian!

Ian!

Ian, Emma!

He's not breathing!

Hey, come here!

Ian! Ian!

Start CPR on Ian, I've got Emma!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Take a deep breath.

Damn it!

Damn it!

One, two, three, four.

Grandpa?

Okay, come on.

Pop?

I've got, I got you.

I got you, come on.

Come on.

Okay, try to breathe.

Try to breathe.

I got you, try to breathe.

We need to get them to the hospital

or to a Hyperbaric Chamber!

There's oxygen in the
Emergency Center.

Hospital's closer.

Oxygen

in the welling tanks.

He's got oxygen in the welling tanks.

Come on, come on,
we gotta get out of here.

I got you.

Okay, okay.

Come on, let's go.

Dad, you're gonna be fine.

Look, there's plenty in here.

I rigged up the fish tank
tubing from your fish tank.

Just keep breathing that in.

I still think we should go to
the hospital.

Treatment for CO-2 poisoning
is oxygen, we have it here.

Yes but I want a doctor to
look at them

and pressure with oxygen is preferable.

Baby,

there is no hospital.

There's no town.

There's just us.

There must be some medical
facility we can take them to.

What if there's something
wrong with them

we don't know about?

What about your dad?

We'll take them to the center.

We can deal with the CO-2
poisoning there,

maybe check the outside world.

See how widespread this lava
storm is.

We're going to the center now.

Took them long enough.

Lets go guys.

Come on, Pop.

Come on.

What the?!

Ian, get back!

You better come look at this!

Let's go! Let's go!

We're lucky.

10 minutes out of town and
it's a lot clearer around here.

So how much longer?

Soon.

Why don't there any cars on
the road?

Where is everybody?

I don't know.

How're you feeling, Ian?

Good.

In fact, I think I'm pretty
much back to abnormal.

Good.

Maybe you should continue
smoking cigarettes then.

Real funny, Dad.

Real funny.

Har, har, har.

Dad, about the cigarettes.

Later.

I'm not a smoker, okay?

Yeah.

Just so you know,
I plan on giving you hell,

so be prepared.

I guess it's easier when you both

yell at me at the same time.

I don't plan on yelling.

I'm gonna use guilt,
shame and humiliation

to crush your will.

I plan on screaming bloody murder.

So be prepared.

Oh my God.

You know how lucky we are
we weren't here earlier?

I need to see what's left.

What about us?

Not this time.

I've been trained for that
kind of thing and I mean it!

You heard your mom.

You gonna give us the
one "Under My Roof" speech

because we probably don't
have a roof left, Dad.

Yeah, much less, a house.

John, they're just giving
you what you gave me.

I'll stay with them, go.

I'll go check.

All right.

What's the supply room look like?

Same as here.

What's the password?

"Ian ampersand Emma."

All caps.

Okay, it's loading.

Come on, come on, come on.

Okay.

Oh, great, great.

It's telling us where
exactly where we are.

May I?

Please.

Ashes falling from Calgary to Germany.

What's happening to all those people?

The entire Earth's food
chain is gonna collapse

if this continues.

Look.

Lava's servicing just
a few miles from here.

No earthquake, no volcano,

massive volcanic upwelling.

This is a basalt eruption.

Gaia has gotten angry.

Thank God, the center
of it is miles from us.

What're we gonna do?

I don't know.

We gotta get out of here.

Yeah, and go where, Lori?

We need to find survivors as
we evacuate.

There's no communication with anybody.

Pull up the satellite
image of the event zone.

Okay, we need to find some
place safe to hide but where?

Lava's gonna melt everything.

What about the cavern?

It's on the mountain top.

The lava's running underneath it

and if it continues to
flow without rising.

Al's Cavern.

Access is through the mine

but it actually is above Old Rocky.

And as is enclosed.

I'm so sorry, John.

Sorry?

I haven't treated you right, lately.

Hey, hey, I love you.

I'll take the good with the
not-so-good.

I could've lost you.

No, you're not gonna
get rid of me that easy.

Now what?

I'm zooming in.

We're directly in its path.

It's picking up speed.

How long have you been
standing there?

Long enough to know that
we're in deep.

Everything the cloud touche
if gonna pummel to dust.

How do you know how to use
that program?

I taught her.

Look, if we need to run and hide,

wouldn't it be better to go
towards water?

Yeah, yeah, she's right.

In Hawaii,
the lava runs to the ocean

and people aren't killed.

What about bringing water to
the lava?

The dam.

I'll go with you.

How am I gonna take out the dam?

We have an avalanche cannon.

That so-called avalanche cannon
is kinda small for a dam.

Don't you have more than one shell?

One would have to get
pretty close to the dam

to take it out.

That person's probably
not gonna survive either,

so no, you're not gonna go.

It'll probably flood the mine too.

But Al's Cavern.

Okay, okay, I'm gonna do that.

You have got to get to the
cavern as soon as you can.

Oh, no way, not on your life.

We're gonna get to the mine
and we're gonna wait it out.

We'll take all the equipment
we can.

Between you and I, we have
a lot of survival training,

we can't save the world.

No, Baby, but maybe
we can buy it some time.

All right, Dad!

Knock it off!

Hey, Mom, you're ruining the whole

"Happy Family" thing, again.

All right, you know what, Emma?

Why don't you guys go
wait in the truck, okay?

Come on! Come on!
What?

Please! Now!

I'm getting tired of
them bossing us around.

What is wrong with you?

There is no way you're
sacrificing yourself!

I only said that for Ian's sake.

I don't want him to go
with me but I'll be fine.

Don't worry about me.

No, I don't believe you.

Baby,

we're facing extinction here.

There's no way I'm gonna let
any of us die.

I gotta do something.

Are you all right?

It's not us, it's Grandpa.

Come on, Pop.
It was a lava ball!

Sit down.

Hurricane.

Eye of the hurricane.

Come on, Pop.

Thank you.

What're you doing?

We can't leave him here.

I can't take him with me,
I need the truck.

You got the kids.

Okay, Ian, Emma, you're with me.

So where's Dad going?

Why is he leaving us?

I thought everything
was okay with you guys.

Why are you pushing him away again?

Don't you dare say that!

I am not pushing him away!

Well you're not making him stay.

I can't believe you.

What if he never comes back, huh?

Dad?

Look, I gotta talk to you.

You gotta stay here with your
mom, take care of the family.

No, I'm going with you.

No, no way you're going with me.

Dad, I can help!

I know my way around the woods!

Yeah, great.

Meantime, you're gonna stay
here with your mom, all right?

You're pushing me away!

Hey!

That's cheap!

Don't do that to me!

I'm a man!

No, you're a boy, okay?!

You're not gonna manipulate
your way into coming with me.

I'm your father, you're
gonna listen to me!

Real good, Dad, real good.

Now you're my father?

Now we're some big happy family?

Great timing.

It's just, the whole
world's crashing down.

Ian, what do you want me to do?

Ian?!

What?!

You know,

this is no longer about just us.

Yeah, it is.

As much as I don't like it,

your father's right.

Bullshit.

Emma,

you're gonna need to be stronger.

No, what I need is for
my father to be alive.

God, you know,

I was hoping to drive
Dad crazy with boys and,

you know, nevermind,
I guess we're all gonna die

before any of that happens.

Under these circumstance,

I don't wanna leave with you
and I on these terms, okay?

Look, I don't plan on
committing suicide, Ian.

Your evacuation isn't
gonna be too safe either.

Ian, I need you to grow
up and grow up fast.

Piss off!

Wow.

I see you did as well as I did.

What the hell just happened?

I don't know but I think
I'll stick to yelling.

It's like they're punishing
us or something

and we don't have the
time for that right now.

Who's in control here?

So you think we punished them enough?

I don't know.

Let's go back.

The whole world's falling apart.

This is starting to get scary.

So are we gonna change
the world or what?

Come on, Mom,
what's the plan of action?

We do need a plan.

Okay.

John, Ian,

go get the avalanche
cannon and the ammunition

out of the storage hanger.

Emma,

you're with me.

We're gonna check on Grandpa

and grab the satellite computer.

It's a real joy to enter
the new era with this family.

Let's go.

Move it!

Come on!

Woo.

So, you have used one
of these before, right?

No.

You?

Well, I didn't know you
were smoking cigarettes.

For all I know,
you could've fired one of these.

I was just coming to get you.

Did you know there's a plumes cloud

barrelling down on us as
apposed to an ash cloud?

Yes, Dad, we know.

How are you feeling?

Well, strong enough to know

that I've gotta get you
all the hell out of here.

Mom's formulating a plan, Grandpa.

I have to get you and the kids
to safety

while John blows up a damn.

Oh, is that all?

Dad, do you feel strong enough
to go check out the garage?

See if there's a vehicle we
could use?

I'm on it, Captain.

John?

Here.

You might need this.

John, I don't want you to go.

We're gonna stick to the plan.

It's the best thing to do.

It's not gonna be a picnic
around here anymore.

It never was.

That's enough out of you.

We need you.

Baby,

you got me.

We gotta concentrate on
saving everybody else now.

I'm going with you, Dad.

No you're not.

I'd rather die with
the man I respect most

then run from something
I can't even control.

Isn't that the right thing to do?

Yeah, yeah it is.

No.

You can come.

No.

I couldn't live with myself
if I sent my son off to die.

Mom, it's not your decision

and it's not Dad's either.

It's mine.

Jesus.

Get down!

Mom's hurt!

Everybody else okay?

Yeah, we're all okay here.

Dad!

Come on, we gotta move!

Can you stand?

Hell yes.

I got one of the emergency
trucks started.

Dad.

I guess I'm driving.

Dad, that's not a good idea..

I'm driving.

Dad, that's not a good..

I'll drive!

Guess we don't have a choice.

All right, well, there's oxygen
and heat suits in the car.

Well the good news is

you're not gonna die from your wound.

Come on, we gotta go.

I gotta tell you something
about the dam.

What about it?

If you blow the damn,

the bottom of the mine is
gonna flood.

You gotta give us a couple
hours before you blow it up.

And you may or may not be
able to get in the mine.

I know.

I know.

See you, Bubbles.

Hey, I'm holding you to that.

Take care, Burnt Toast.

Bring Dad back.

I will.

We'll be in Al's Cavern.

You better show up.

Oh, you know me well.

Look, you just get there
as quick as you can.

Dad, you take care of my girls.

Come here, Baby.

I love you.

Okay, come on.

I lived in a cave for awhile

when I was serving my country.

That experience may come in handy.

I don't wanna go in the sauna.

We wouldn't survive the heat.

This one will lead us directly
into Al's Cavern.

And the only way into Al's Cavern

is through this condemned tunnel?

It's all we've got.

Can't we just stay here in
the mine shaft?

No, Emma.

We're above and the lava
travels below.

We have no other choice.

I just wish everything
would be back to normal.

This is the new normal.

Prom's gone, graduation's gone.

It's all gone.

You have to help me now, Emma.

You have to think beyond yourself.

I trust the tunnel gets a
little wider.

Actually, Mike, it gets narrower.

I'm gonna go in and see if
it's safe.

I'll be back.

It's a blaster.

You have one, I have one.

If you need me, press.

Right here.

We're gonna have to wait here
for awhile.

Keep your mom, gramps and Emma
time to get into the cavern.

You okay, Grandpa?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm okay.

Oh no.

No, not again.

No.

Emma!

Emma, you know your mom loves you.

Yeah.

She's taking a really long time.

Emma!

Grandpa!

Grandpa, Mom's in trouble.

No, I'll go.

What if you get stuck?

I've been in worse.

No but what if you
get stuck here and now?

You'll have to figure something out.

I tell you, I'm older,
I've got more experience

and I'm pulling rank.

So I'm telling you now,
I'm going into this tube

into hell.

Oh boy.

We may have a little problem.

What's that?

You don't know how to use
the avalanche cannon, do you?

Come on, we'll figure it out.

Well you think you can
at least hit the damn?

We'll find out.

Got four shells, right?

Don't you ever do avalanche control?

No, I don't, okay?

It's not part of my job description.

Dad?

What?

Look.

No.

They need more time.

We don't have more time.

Give me a shell.

Nothing!

We need to get a lot closer.

Come on, grab the shells.

Lori, can you hear me?

Oh, Mike.

Hold on.

I'm stuck.

I'll try and pull you, all right?

Okay.
You ready?

Okay, you're not moving.

Maybe,

maybe if I pushed you.

Yes.
All right?

Yeah.
Can you go forward?

No.

You're suit's tied up on a rock.

Can you get out of it somehow?

I can try.

I can't zip it out enough.

Cut it off.

Maybe there's a rock or
something sharp up there.

Is there anything in
here that you could use?

Damn!

Emma's panicking.

Lori.

Emma.

Grandpa?

Mom, I'm coming after you.

All right, all right.

All right.

Wait.

You all right?

Yeah.

Okay.

Mom?

Mom!

Mom!

Mom, please say something.

It's so hot.

Emma!

Grandpa.

Her suit is tied up on the rock.

Get the knife from the pack.

I'm so scared, Grandpa.

You can do it.

This is the moment you have
to do it.

Okay.

Come on, we're out of time.

Come on, give me a crack at it.

I have the knife!

Okay.

Thank you, Emma.

Okay.

I am not a little girl anymore.

It's too hot.

The air's bad.

Let's get out of here.

Come on, Son.

I know you can do it, Dad.

Yes!

Yes, Dad!

Yes!

The air's not too bad in here.

I hope it'll hold up here.

We have to get out of here.

They just blew the dam.

But not through there.

Follow me.

Grab the packs.

John and Ian did what
they said they'd do.

I'm sure they took out the damn.

Ian!

Ian!

Dad!
