This is McEwen. My GPS coordinates 4898 by 32316 on Vinci Ridge, nine miles

south of the main town of Ascension.

Test beacon 21 has recorded another current at 0100, and we're commencing

next imaging testing.

I'm initiating sequence in 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.

Mark.

Okay, the graph's going crazy here. That was another.

Ground temperature is rising. I'm getting readings from all over the

We've got multiple occurrences in sector seven.

Sector nine.

Check your vectors. I'm calling control.

We have multiple readings. Repeat multiple readings on the anomaly. The

singularity could be viable.

Confidence is high. Repeat. Confidence is high. Do you copy?

Copy.

Let's roll.

Come on, boys.

Greg grumbles more when he eats chili.

Back to work.

Hey, Thomas.

Yeah, Joe.

Is this ours?

I found it over there by that tree.

Never seen anything like it.

Trying to get free satellite again or something?

You think that could help?

What the hell was that?

All right, get away from the street!

You hear that?

You're spending football season on the couch. Oh, God. Let it be eight weeks.

I'm going to get this truck. I'm going to get you some help, all right? Okay.

I hate Mondays.

Smitty.

Get on the phone and figure out what the hell that was. And don't take

earthquake for an answer.

No freaking earthquake.

All right, boys.

It's going to hurt like hell. Let's do it quick.

All right.

One,

two, three.

Be careful of that leg.

You are one tough son of a bitch, Joe.

Joe!

Joe! Hold on a second.

Joe?

he's dead

no

this is regarding the sensors on lincoln we think two of the boxes may be

malfunctioning i don't know that's why i need someone out there

daniel

I'm sorry. I'm going to have to call you back. Please just see what you can do.

Okay. Thank you.

What is it?

Mount Lincoln again.

Another 4 .3 over the southwest abduction zone.

Look at that low -level reading.

I knew something was off.

It's almost six minutes long.

That's not a tremor. It's almost like a slow -moving plate shift. Can that be?

Well, you know, you didn't have to hit me with a coffee cup.

I'm a human being. I got feelings.

Be happy. I couldn't reach the stapler. You know what? I'm going to have to go

up there and do some field reading.

This is not adding up. Wait, you're going to go up there?

The volcano isn't listed as dormant. It's extinct. It hasn't so much as

in thousands of years.

You never lived up there. Place shakes all the time. May very well have entered

into a new phase.

I will contact you when I get there.

Let Dr.

Hayes know.

Isn't this a bit rash? I mean, shouldn't you just see if they can send someone

out to check?

It is going to take a whole lot more than those printouts to convince the

there is something up.

Especially their hard -headed sheriff.

How do you know that?

He's my uncle.

So long.

Thomas? Hi.

Sheriff Crutcher.

You okay?

As okay as I'm gonna be.

Figure anything out?

No, no.

Well, nothing conclusive.

They're, uh... They're gonna do an autopsy.

They should tell us more.

It's a crazy thing, Sheriff.

You said that he broke his leg, right?

That was it?

Yeah, he got hit by a wrench. He got busted up pretty good.

I've seen worse. We've seen worse.

I just want to get him off the hill. I went to grab the truck.

Maybe I shouldn't have left him.

Okay. Come on.

I can't believe this.

So, what, um, do you want me to give you a ride home, or, uh... No.

No.

You sure?

Yeah. I'm good, sir. Thanks.

Thanks, sir.

Yeah, no, just, um...

I forgot what happened.

What you got going on here, pops?

I'm not sure.

Hmm.

So you stopped taking your meds?

No, I'm still on them.

Well, sort of.

Doc's gonna love that answer.

Well, take them later.

Make it harder to think. But I need to be clear right now.

What's all this?

I mean, uh...

I'm having a revelation, an epiphany of some kind, but it's all coming at me so

fast I can't seem to organize it.

I thought research gave you headaches.

It does.

Are you aware that the Dietrich Ice Shield collapsed yesterday?

200 miles of glacial coastline gone?

No, Pops, I'm not.

Scientists projected it would take 150 years for it to melt away, and it was

gone in 10.

There are unprecedented hurricanes in the Atlantic.

There are massive earthquakes on the Cascade Volcanic Arc.

Even we're shaking more than usual.

Something's happening, son.

Something bad.

Dad, I know you hate them.

But, I mean, you're mad. Maybe they could bring a little light into the

darkness.

There was an accident on the site today.

I'm sorry.

What do you need your backpack for?

Jared and I are going camping for the weekend.

Mount Lincoln?

Yeah. No, Grace.

Just give it a few days. We have no idea what happened up there.

You can't be serious.

I'm talking about a few days. Until we figure out what caused the accident. I

think I can handle the campout.

For crying out loud, Dad!

How can you handle that?

What are you doing?

We're trying to figure out... You know what?

Forget it.

I gotta go.

I appreciate the concern, but I'm 20, not 16.

Then why are you acting like you're 12?

When you can follow your own advice, maybe I'll do the same.

I gotta go.

Thanks for the help, Pops.

I've gotta get into town.

I'm way behind the Monica's books.

Yeah, well, no wonder.

Dad...

Your meds.

Huh. Give me a lift in the car?

Deal.

I'm still picking up a signal.

The terrain's making it difficult to navigate.

No,

that's a negative. I have no status.

Have we heard anything from the rest of them?

Hold on.

Hold on, I've got another quake rolling through. I'll call you back.

Hi, Zoe.

Hey, Professor.

Thomas. Hello. I thought I'd come by and wrap up Monica's books while she's away

on holiday.

I had to come by earlier, but I got distracted.

Yeah, the ledge is on the desk in the back.

See you later, Thomas.

See you, Dad.

Hey, Thomas, is your dad doing okay?

Yeah, I guess. Why?

I don't know. I guess he seems a little distracted lately.

Monica didn't say anything. No, no, no. Gosh, no, no. He's great. I mean, I know

he's been going through a rough time and everything, and I just, um... You know,

I just, I guess I thought I should let you know.

Thanks.

And, you know, I really appreciate what you and Monica have done for him,

letting him help out around here. I know it's not much, but, uh... I don't know.

It's good for him. Keeps his mind going. Does he stop teaching?

No, I mean, it's not charity or anything. He figured out that tax thing.

know, who knew a classics professor would be so good at accounting?

Yeah, he's pretty good when he puts his mind to something.

Yeah. Can I get you something to eat?

No, I'm good. Rain check. All right, anytime. Still here.

Thomas!

Emily!

How are you?

I'm fine. How are you?

Good, good, yeah.

What are you doing here?

Work.

Work?

Doing some research.

I couldn't pass up the chance to live it up for a couple days in ascension.

You look great.

Well, thanks.

So, what kind of research?

Oh, basically, you guys are just shaking a little bit more than normal.

Yeah, don't I know it.

We had an accident today during one of the tremors.

One of my crewmen was actually killed.

What? Yeah.

Do you know Joe Enfield?

Uh, no.

Great guy, great friend.

All the way to see his family right now.

I'm really sorry.

If there's anything I can do.

Yeah.

How long are you in town for?

Not long. Just going to take some reading.

Maybe we can grab a bite sometime.

Yeah, okay.

Okay.

It's good to see you.

Yeah, you too.

Here's your sandwich, Professor, just the way you like it. Thanks, Zoe. Let me

be there. Okay.

Okay.

Self -portrait?

Very funny.

This is a creature the Mayans believed lurked in the underworld and would one

day rise up in exact revenge on society.

So, I mean, why would the Mayans think a creature would want vengeance on them?

Reckoning. Well, what did they do?

Every culture has its myths of eschatology, destruction stories, end

scenarios.

Whenever a society has been close to destroying its surroundings or on the

of destroying the very earth that gives it life, it's always been stopped short

of annihilation by outside forces, often beyond our comprehension.

The Mayans believed it was this creature, but...

But every culture has its own version.

Are you crazy?

I don't think so.

I

hate

those.

No matter how long I live here, I will never get used to them.

Oh, you're drawing.

Oh, it's all right. Never mind. Never mind.

Are you getting this?

Uh -huh.

happened here last night.

Every box recorded it and there's nothing wrong with the sensors.

Yeah, this is not good.

And if this thing is becoming active, it's not doing anything by the book.

a complete anomaly.

I know.

Why don't you try and get infrared from the satellite? Call over to your friend

who interns at the observatory. See if they can send one.

There's got to be new lava tubes. The old ones would be plugged.

What?

What would you say if I told you there were dead squirrels at my feet?

I'd tell you to watch your step.

I'm serious, Mancy.

I'd say it sounds like we have CO2 leaking.

All over the mountain. I gotta go.

All right, come on, man.

Out you go.

There you go.

So this is where you were at the time?

Yeah, right here. There was a tremor.

Told the boys to get out of the trees.

Joe and I were looking at a piece of equipment.

Then what?

A branch broke off.

Came down, hit Joe, but he was lucid.

He was conscious.

Went over to grab the truck, and by the time I got back... So where was he

when...

Munson? Munson, what's wrong? What's wrong, buddy?

You okay?

What's going on?

Thomas!

Stand up! Stand up right now. Pick up the dogs. Emily!

There's a cloud of CO2 hovering above the ground about three feet high.

inside it will suffocate.

What? Carbon dioxide is leaking from the ground. You can't see it or smell it.

You just drift off to sleep.

That's what happened to Joe.

What are you doing here?

Seismic readings are double what they were at this time last month.

And then with the surface deformations and now these CO2 emissions, I don't

to be presumptuous, but I think the mountain is becoming active again.

Emily. I'm sure you don't remember this, but we had much larger tremors than

this back in 84.

I have been tracking... And after all that time, the locals got scared and

packed up waiting for the worst to happen, and nothing ever did.

Before long, everybody went back to normal.

You can doubt me all you want, but there is CO2 leaking from this whole area

like a sieve. It sounds like it already killed a man.

You have an obligation to keep people off this mountain. Uncle Matt... So now

it's Uncle Matt.

You owe me one.

No,

that's a negative. I can't get to the site by the main road. I need you to

me a guide.

A local.

Somebody who knows the mountain.

I'm telling you, there is a massive amount of movement up here.

Like I said, the ground is moving beneath the topsoil maybe deeper. It's

these fossils.

Yeah. Yeah, it's coming in now.

Isn't that right?

Grace, have you heard this?

We're annihilating ourselves and nothing's being done.

Something's going to happen. Something has to happen to stop it before we

destroy the world.

Dad, I just... There are these fragments, right?

They almost piece together.

The awakening, the dragon's breath, like pieces of a puzzle.

I don't know what you're talking about.

The world is going to push back.

It always has.

It's been in myth, it's been in metaphor, it's been in the stories.

Dad, I... Something is coming.

We have to be ready. We have to be prepared.

Dad, I just... I have to go, okay?

It's like with Tiamat.

The embodiment of chaos opened her jaws to swallow Marduk. And Marduk fired an

arrow down her throat and into her belly.

It was the only way to kill her.

He split her heart in two, and Tiamat was no more.

Okay.

Dad, I have to go, but I'll be back soon, though. Okay?

What does it look like to you?

Like my lunch.

This is a satellite image of the area indicating thermal readings.

Tell me that is not a geothermal anomaly.

They have to be magma pipes.

Okay.

These are the epicenter locations of the tremors. Three days ago. Then two.

Then yesterday.

Looks like they're moving up the mountain.

Exactly.

You think the mountain's waking up?

I don't know.

The thing is, if the mountain really was becoming active, it would have done it

already. It would have been very large and very violent, and everyone in the

town would already be dead from the blast.

But we're not.

Yeah, we're not.

Which just keeps leading me to the same conclusion. This is a geothermal

anomaly, some kind of force or energy that's churning everything up from

underneath the area.

You're creating new lava pipes, venting CO2.

Okay, what would cause that?

You don't know.

And you're heading back up the mountain to figure it out.

Yeah. And you want me to go with you?

No.

Um... Sure?

Yeah.

Be careful up there.

Yeah.

I'll be fine.

Watch out, you might hit something. Uh, driving, here.

turn me on.

Thomas Walsh?

Yeah.

Hi, Jack Murray.

Hey.

I'm told no one knows these mountains better than you do.

A little?

Well, I was hoping you could help me out.

I'm with a company that's looking to retrieve some information from one of

outposts.

Geologists.

Yeah, we had some equipment fail near Vincy Ridge at our base camp.

So I'm just looking for a guide.

Today is not the best day to go up that mountain, Jack.

Was it? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, whatever it is. They can wait.

No, actually, I'm afraid I can't.

I'm told you're ex -military.

You served under Hardin.

I am, was.

Helicopter pilot, 13.

Hardin's a friend of mine, and I called in a favor. He directed me to you.

Look, I know it is a strange request, but I need to get up that mountain to

equipment. There's valuable information up there.

Valuable to who?

Well, until I get to the equipment, I can't be certain of anything.

Look, I just need a guide.

You in good shape?

Yeah, I think so.

All right, leave in ten.

Thank you.

You're quiet.

I'm sorry about the off -roading. It's not that.

What is it?

I'm fine.

No.

I'm sorry.

I promised myself I wouldn't let it bother me.

It's okay. What's going on?

My family is nuts.

My brother acts like my dad, and my dad acts like a raving lunatic.

I used to have such a normal family.

There is no such thing as a normal family.

Well, there's definitely such a thing as a crazy one.

Look, for the next couple of days, it is going to be just you and me.

No brothers, no dads, just us.

Sound good?

Sounds good.

Good.

All right.

Here we go.

Hello. Daniel?

Emily, you're not on Mount Lincoln, are you?

Yeah, why?

This stuff is terrible. There's a lot of interference.

Did you get the data I sent you?

I think I got most of it, but I have some more troubling information.

What is it? There are cataclysmic reports coming in from all over the

mean, yesterday I saw reports of tsunamis off the coast of India.

I mean, there were devastating tremors from the Middle East across Europe.

What are you talking about?

Something's happening.

It's global.

Any commonalities?

I checked the lab's satellite imaging, and there are strains of heat signatures

reaching across the planet.

Origination?

Ascension.

Okay, do you have any idea what any of this means?

Well, I don't... You're breaking up.

Emily! Daniel! Emily!

Daniel!

You have to forgive me. I'm just not following you.

It's all significant.

Something's happening.

Something huge. What?

Just what do you think it is?

It's the thrashing. It's some kind of awakening.

It's like a life force breathing against itself. I'm very concerned.

William, you and I go back a long way, right?

We certainly lived here long enough to survive the occasional rumble. I mean,

nothing's changed.

But it has, Sheriff.

The signs are everywhere.

It's all across the globe. Yeah, but that's all part of the natural

of things.

It has been since Adoniman. No, not this time, Sheriff. The myths are clear.

From the depths of obscurity ascends a creature with one purpose and one

only.

What's that?

To destroy civilization.

Well, what about Thomas?

What about Grace? What about them?

I'm talking about everyone. Well, I'm not.

I'm talking about your family.

I'm talking about your kids.

With all due respect, Sheriff, you don't understand.

William, listen to me.

You listen to me good.

Get help.

Take your medication. Do whatever it is you have to do to cope with whatever

you're going through.

You do it.

You do it, or so help me, I'll see to it that somebody does it for you.

Is this really the best way?

It's the only way.

Right.

Be careful getting too close to the ground.

CO2's leaking out everywhere.

Someone told me it might be a sign the mountain's waking up.

What do you think about that?

Could be.

Yeah, could be.

We're getting close.

It's a little bit further.

Did you say you worked for it again?

I didn't.

Cool.

Uh, that's another one. I hope this isn't a bad idea.

Relax. The safest place to be is on the mountain.

My dad told me during the massive quake in 72 that half the buildings in

Ascension were ruined, but nothing happened to the mountain structures.

Good. I want tonight to be perfect.

What? Huh?

Uh, nothing.

What are you talking about? I just want...

To have a perfect weekend together. It has been way too long.

And we're away from your friends.

Hey.

Sarah and Evelyn are my best friends. They're like family.

You're a non -crazy family?

Hey, Grace, I didn't... I know what you meant.

I... Look, it's okay for me to say it, but not you.

I know. You're right.

Look, that might be unfair, but that's the way it is.

I'm sorry.

Just no talking for ten minutes.

Deal. Totally.

Good job, Jared.

This is it.

What the hell happened here?

Don't touch anything.

Gladly.

What branch of the military are you working for again?

What?

What branch of the military are you working for? You said you worked under

Hardin.

What is this?

Government contracts?

Black ops?

You wouldn't know it, trust me. Try me.

Look, Thomas, the only thing I can tell you is that we've been detecting seismic

activity on this mountain for some time. We set up a team to investigate it.

We lost contact with them.

What were they looking for?

These are the coordinates.

To what?

I thought we were looking for this place.

No, that's only part of it.

What I need is up there. You need to get me up there.

It's about a mile from here.

It's rough country.

And I'm not going one step further.

Thomas!

Em!

Are you all right? What happened?

Yeah, I'm fine. It's just...

boulders just shot out of a rock face i was near almost like where was this not

far who are you he's a geologist okay look thomas we need to get back to

ascension the thing is going to blow and when it does it's going to take

everything with it all right fine look at my truck's not far from me wait a

minute thomas i need you to guide me up that hill look if she says it's time to

clear up and that's what's happening fine tell me how to get there

Experienced hikers and climbers have trouble in that area. You're never going

make it. Can't this wait? No.

No, it can't.

At this direction, a half mile, you're reaching that pass. You make it over,

you'll be in the vicinity.

Good luck.

This is it It's here

It's okay.

I'm not mad.

Promise?

I promise.

Why are you so nervous?

I'm not.

So, this is your spot?

Yeah.

I used to come here a lot when I was growing up.

Yeah, you said that.

It means something to you, doesn't it?

Minus the rain.

Yeah, it does.

You know, we've been dating for, what, four years now?

Yep.

And we have known each other since we were kids?

The second grade.

Right, when I asked you to be my girlfriend and you kicked me in the

Like that?

Yeah, like that.

I can't imagine a life without you in it.

Me neither.

Grace Walsh, will you

marry me?

That wasn't there before.

Was that there before?

Thank you.

You okay?

Look, Uncle, it's worse than I thought. Much worse.

I know. I got all that from before. I'm closing down the mountain to the general

public. That's a good start, but it's not nearly good enough. I need you to

evacuate the county.

Excuse me? Between the readings we've gathered up there and the ground

temperature increasing, you know as well as I do, this is way outside the

ordinary. Out of the ordinary, sure, but come on, evacuate? There are fissures

opening up all over the mountain.

Emily.

When you lump it all together like this, I know how it sounds.

But all this can be explained. Uncle Matt! In 1984... This is not 84!

She's right, Sheriff.

The whole area is unsafe.

Soil we found up there was littered with hot pumice and ash. Material Mount

Lincoln is known to have interlaid deep within its soil, which means it is being

forced up from underground.

Emily, it's... Days!

Days! Before Mount St. Helens blew, seismic activity was half of what we're

recording right now. Ground temperatures were lower, and there were no gaseous

emissions.

So what do you suggest?

Get everyone out, at least 10 to 20 miles away. 20 miles? Give us a window

see what Mount Lincoln has in store.

And if nothing happens, what then?

Then at least we've taken precautions.

But if it does blow, and I think it will, you'll have saved hundreds...

All right, I'll make the call.

Thank you, thank you. But I truly hope that you are wrong about this.

Me too.

What the hell was that? I don't know.

He was alive!

Let's just get to the bottom of the mountain. I don't know!

Hello? This is Agent Murray. Can you hear me?

Affirmative. Proceed.

I've salvaged a flash drive from the remains of Site 14.

The information on the drive is correct.

The team discovered the epicenter of the entity.

And we are running out of time.

Conclusion? We're facing a singularity event.

I repeat, we are facing a singularity event.

What was that?

What? Did you hear something?

No.

Stop it.

I just thought I heard something.

What the hell is that?

I don't know.

Where's that smoke coming from? It must be something that thing pushed up from

under the ground. It's huge.

I don't know. It looks like it just pushed it up. Do you think it's inside?

Jared, Jared, Jared.

Huh? What?

Just stay close.

I don't want to be here anymore. I know, I know.

I know you don't.

Hey.

I am not going to let anything happen to you, but the only way that we are going

to get out of this is if we make it down and we stay calm, okay?

Okay. Okay?

It's going to be fine.

It's going to be fine.

Listen, let's get out of here. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Is it? Yeah. Okay.

Let's get out of here.

Okay.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, if I could have your attention, please.

We have to evacuate the town.

I'm hereby ordering you to evacuate to at least 20 miles outside of the

Now, I know that we've had drills like this before, and we've had some trembles

and rumblers, but this one, although it is not immediate, it is imminent, and

we're going to ask you to leave town. So I want you to go home right now, get

your kids, your valuables, your pets, get in the car, and get out of town as

soon as possible.

Thomas, Thomas, what's happening?

Dad, Dad, Dad, now's not the time. Look, we've got to leave. All right? They're

evacuating the town. So get to the truck. We're leaving.

What about Grace?

We're going to get her at the house.

She's not there. She's already gone.

She's gone up the mountain.

Now? Why would she do that? Because she has no idea all that's going on.

All right, I've got to go up and get her.

Well, she could be anywhere.

No, she'll be at Hudson Clearings. We've just been going since she was a kid.

What can we call her? There's no reception.

All right, Dad, listen to me. This is important, all right?

I need you to go down to Olympia.

All right, go to Aunt Evelyn's house and wait there until we get back.

Thomas. No, Dad, Dad, this is not up for discussion.

I'm going to go with you. What? No. I'm going to go with you.

Are you sure?

Yeah. All right.

Get your gear.

Bye.

Thomas.

I want you to take it. Your mother gave this to me years ago to protect me.

It's a sacred piece from the Paiula tribe.

I want you to take it. Dad, you keep it. Come on.

Thomas, please.

Wear it for me.

All right.

Olivia.

Aunt Evelyn's. Please.

All right.

What's going on? What is this? Sheriff is evacuating the town.

Evacuating? Where am I supposed to go?

You can come with me. We'll figure the rest later. Professor, this is crazy.

Zoe, we have to go now. Grab your thing.

Hold on a second. I've got to do something.

Zoe!

How

far

away is the clearing?

A little bit further.

What the hell was she thinking?

She's young. She probably just wanted to get away.

Away from what?

Her understanding older brother.

You went away, too, if you don't remember.

Yeah, well, military was my only option. Well, Grace was still really young.

She had to grow up faster than you, faster than all of us.

I know your dad probably can't be much help.

No, I still have plenty of good days.

Just never got over losing Mom.

Deep down, I'm sure she's scared to death to see him this way.

Yeah, well, I don't really understand it either.

I mean, I understand loss. I understand grief. I just, I don't know.

It seems like he can't handle reality, so he creates this world that he can

in, control.

Is that why you left?

No.

Maybe. I don't know.

We had planned to go away together.

Remember?

Sometimes things just don't work out the way we planned.

Do you hear that?

Yeah. Yeah, this one.

Hello?

Jack.

What happened?

I set up my leg on the impasse. Told you it was a bitch.

Yeah. Think it's broken?

No, I don't think so. Can you stand?

Yeah.

You got it?

Yeah, I think so.

I need to get back down the hill.

The sheriff's evacuating the whole county.

No, I can't.

What are you guys doing back here?

Looking for my sister.

You need to get to a hospital.

I need that case. Jack, you can barely walk.

Thomas, you know what it's like to follow orders.

Do what you're told in order to save lives.

That is the situation I'm in. I need that case. What is so special about this

case? Em,

I look.

We're headed that direction.

You can keep up. If we pass by it, we'll grab it, but that's it.

No, no. We need to get Grace and get the hell off this mountain, not chase down

equipment.

What is this about?

I'm not sure.

It's coming from this engine.

Chloe, I cannot stress the urgency of this situation enough. We have to go.

I can't just leave this here. It's my responsibility.

It doesn't matter. We have to go now.

Oh.

It's not just a piece of equipment.

Well, what is it, then?

That's a million -dollar question.

What's the government doing up here?

You don't want to know.

Well, why are you up here for geothermal anomalies, or is it something else,

something you're doing up here? Jack, you asked for our help. Fill us in. Why

are you up here?

Six months ago, my office recorded a subsonic boom in the Pacific Ocean.

Russian, Japanese, American subs, they all picked it up.

Exactly the same time, a similar sound was heard at eight different locations

across the globe.

The strongest source was traced back here, specifically a mile below Mount

Lincoln.

Why did we hear it?

It's completely subterranean.

It's likely he felt it and never even acknowledged it.

We picked up a spike in our seismic readings about six months ago, but we

recorded it as a sensor glitch. We picked up the same glitch a few days

It wasn't a glitch.

Every one of my teams recorded the same thing.

Then why weren't we warned?

About what, Taunus? A big boom?

We sent a team to investigate and gather information.

They were trying to confirm the possibility of a singularity event.

What the hell is a singularity?

A singularity is an event that can single -handedly change the course of

we know it. A volcano?

No, not quite.

We believe that an event of this magnitude occurred 30 ,000 years ago and

15 ,000 years ago. We believe it's going to happen again right here.

This case is... I need this case.

You okay?

What the hell was that? I have no idea. Let's get the hell out of here.

Where's Jack?

Jack!

Jack!

He's barely breathing.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, you okay?

You okay?

I don't want to die.

Hey, we have come too far to lose each other now, okay?

My dad was right.

He told me that a monster was going to destroy the world.

All along, he was telling me that something was coming, but I thought he

crazy, so I left. I laughed and I didn't listen.

All we have to do is just find a way out of here as soon as possible, okay?

Are you? Are you all right? I think so.

What's happening?

I think we've fallen into a sinkhole.

We're buried underground?

It looks like it.

How far down are we? I mean, what caused this? I'm not sure.

Where are we going to get out of here? We have to get out. Zoe, Zoe, you have

be calm. You have to stay calm. Calm or trapped.

Zoe, Zoe, you have to be calm. I need your help. You have to be strong.

Okay.

Take cover. What is happening again?

No.

It's just an aftershock. No, it's collapsing on us. No, no, no. The

intact.

The diner's intact, Zoe.

We have to find a way out of here.

My cell.

There's no signal. How can there be no signal? Zoe, stay calm. You've got to

stay calm. We'll find a way out of here.

I'll go check the back. You check the back. I'm going to check the window.

There it is.

All right, I gotta go down and get it. No, we gotta get Grace and get out of

here. We're not gonna make it. What if Jack was right?

Even more reason to get moving.

What if that's the only thing that can stop it? It doesn't matter.

What if it does?

I was right. I knew it would come.

Professor, are you freaking me out? I knew something was happening. I just

didn't expect it to happen right under our feet.

What are you doing?

I think it's gone now. Its displacement was what caused the diner to collapse.

Wasn't so hard, was it?

All right.

All right.

You ready?

One, two, three.

No!

We can't stop it, but we can buy some time. Quickly, quickly. Tape for the

cracks in the windows. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Get some duct tape. Come on.

Here, you tear off pieces and I'll be fine.

In myth, it was called the dragon's breath, but science has identified it as

carbon dioxide.

Myth and reality have become one.

A couple more pieces and we've got it.

Zoe. Zoe. No, Zoe. Zoe.

Stand up. Stand up.

You have to stay away from the windows. You have to stay away from the ground.

Professor, what are you talking about?

Zoe, you have to concentrate.

It's carbon dioxide.

It's invisible, and it's heavier than air, and it's deadly.

And it's seeping through the windows. If we don't be careful, we'll suffocate. I

mean, do you think that's going to hold?

Yes, yes, for now.

But we have to find a way out of here quickly.

I'll find us a way.

Okay.

All right.

Two, two.

A little bit further.

One, two.

You got it?

Good job, Em.

Get the hell out of here.

He's hopeless.

Everything's blocked.

die down here. No.

Zoe, no. We won't.

When my wife died, I just shut down.

I couldn't teach. I couldn't do anything.

All I could think of was fate and destiny.

I did all that research on ancient myths and folklore.

I had to find a meaning for it all.

Trapped inside that car. She died right beside me. There was nothing I could do

to save her.

I had to find out why.

Sometimes.

Sometimes is the second chance.

Do you understand me, Colleen? Yeah, I understand.

Watch your step.

Stay to the side.

Okay.

Be careful.

Oh, God.

back is jammed tight i don't understand why this is happening the world is

tipped too far in one direction the great flood the plague

disease famine they're all modern forms of the world keeping itself in balance

sometimes the damage is so severe it takes a force so so dominant that

simply has to pay attention

A behemoth so foreboding that the only way to stop it is...

What are you saying?

It's a creature that has existed before history, before time.

Ridden from its slumber when the world is at its worst.

On the brink of annihilation.

It's as if... It's as if we're in the belly of the whale and...

The only way out is to go through.

There is a way out.

We got the hatch. We found it.

We can climb through that and get to the top of the... To the top of the diner.

Let's grab the ladder.

I'm so sorry, sweetheart. I am.

He asked me to marry him.

We were going to be together always.

I know. I know.

But listen to me.

You've got to stay with me, okay? We have got to get off this mountain.

Can you do that?

This is a sat -nav map of Mount Lincoln.

This heat signature must be the creature.

It's all Mount Lincoln.

Where are we supposed to go?

We're going to go down the southern ridge.

We hook up with the Lockman Trail and build it over the ranger station.

Why there?

Forest Service uses it as a spot by our landing zone. It should be a helicopter.

What if there isn't?

There will be.

Shouldn't we just hike it down?

You really want to hike back down to that mess?

No.

We're going to get away from this creature, okay?

All right.

All right, come on. Let's go. Let's go.

All right.

There.

Okay. Okay. Yeah. Come on. Come on.

Stay calm now. Now you go up first.

I'll help you up, and then you pull me up after. No way. There's no way I can

lift you up. You have to go up first and then pull me up.

Okay.

Zoe, open your eyes. Open your eyes. Are you all right? All right. Let's see.

Come on.

Oh,

thank heaven.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

It's the size of the mountain. It is the mountain.

It's everywhere.

All we gotta do is get to the ranger station.

I can get us out of here. Let's go. Come on.

We're running out of air.

CO2 is filling up the road here.

I'm so tired.

It's all right.

Stay with me.

There.

Here we go. How do you go first? Just be quick. Just be quick.

Careful now.

That's it.

Keep going. Keep going. Good. Good. Well done.

There's a lip there. Reach there.

You got it.

Good. Good. Okay.

Go. Get up.

Lift up.

Okay.

Okay, Professor.

Come on, grab my hand. You're almost there.

Ready? Yeah.

how to fire this weapon. Get a chopper started, all right? I don't know how!

How many times did that take you flying? A long time ago.

Turn on the battery switch.

Turn on the fuel switch.

Hit start.

Introduce fuel.

Stay with her.

Take the intake.

I got a treat for you.

Please be simple. Please be simple.

You've got to be kidding.

You know what?

What do you feel, Val?

Come on.

All right. It's not exactly ideal conditions.

only way to kill her.

Wired an arrow down her throat, split her heart in two.

That's it.

That's what Dad was talking about. What? What? He told me how to shoot it. He

told me how to shoot the creature. What? What are you talking about? He told me

how to shoot the creature. He was talking about a Marduk or something.

No, no. It was a demon.

Demon. The embodiment of chaos.

The demon opened up its jaws around the Marduk and then it shot an arrow down

his throat into his belly and...

It's not a time to! What does that mean? It's not a time to!

Shut your mouth.

It's not a time to.

Ah,

hell.

It's like I'm after me.

Go, let's go, let's go.

I made it.

Daddy!

I'm so glad you guys are okay.

Told you I wasn't crazy.

Well, not about this.

You did it, son.

We do.

So?

So.

Think you might hang out in Ascension for a little while?

I knew it was good to see you.

Let's get out of here.
