Original subtitles

(male announcer) Previously on Surface.

(little girl's voice) Have you seen my mother?

(announcer) Rich and Daughtery found that sea monsters

were not the only strange creatures.

[shrieking]

What they're doing over there is unnatural.

He cloned a sheep 20 years before Dolly.

We know his research made those things

in the ocean.

Just like it made you.

You got a lot of calls in 910 here, Davis.

You've reached Iderdex Systems

Central Cryogenics Facility

in Wilmington, North Car--

Iderdex?

Can't destroy the technology.

It's over.

Well, where are you going?

Home!

To see my son.

I missed you so much.

I'm lookin' at thousands.

They're like cryogenic cougars.

They've got two of everything on the planet.

It's like Noah's Ark.

[gun cocks]

Freeze.

(announcer) The sea creatures began their destruction.

I've picked up a sizable NOSSUR reading

off the Hispaniola Trench.

This is it.

[gunshot]

Listen up!

A 9.4 magnitude earthquake struck 150 miles

off the coast of Puerto Rico creating what

the National Weather Service is calling a teletsunami.

Impacts to the southeast coast of the United States

are imminent.

Get out, folks!

Following cities are under...

(announcer) And now, the season finale of Surface.

So I guess I ain't getting a phone call?

[elevator bell dings]

(man over P.A.) We are now 20 minutes to lockdown.

SR-1s and above initiate exit strategy

for your departments.

We are 20 minutes to lockdown.

Man your stations now.

You guys going somewhere?

Huh?

Come on, I saw your little train down there

going down the tunnel.

Huh?

What's the last stop?

Come on, where are you going?

Sector T needs to lock down now.

In 30 minutes, this is a ghost town.

Sir?

All techs need to be boarding, let's go.

What do I do with him?

You know the protocol.

Ask ASI, talk to a comptroller.

Yes, sir, I tried. They're not answering.

Then lock him up.

Roger that.

Where?

Put him up in the floor command.

The computers are gone, it's secure for now.

Sir, that's an official ASI override of protocol.

Look, I got a damn tsunami coming.

Do what I'm telling you and get your ass back

to the terminal floor ASAP.

Yes, sir.

What do you mean, tsunami?

Hey.

[people talking]

I understand why you're upset.

I do understand why you're upset.

The flight that I'm supposed to be on in the first place...

Please, sir, try to be patient.

This an emergency evacuation.

I'll be with you in a moment.

Sir, this is an emergency evacuation.

We're trying to help everyone here.

(newscaster on TV) ...was struck by a wave this morning.

For more on these images,

we go to our science correspondent, Jamie Kirschner,

who is standing by.

What the hell is going on here?

You don't know?

I just got off a plane, I don't understand.

I'm surprised you weren't diverted.

No, they need that plane for more evacuees.

Evacuees? Tsunami, honey, headed this way.

A tsunami?

Yeah, a tidal wave.

Yeah, I know what a tsunami is, okay?

It's already knocked the hell out of the Caribbean.

Hits landfall in about 45 minutes.

It's gonna roll in as far as Summerville.

I think we need to find high ground.

All right.

Excuse me, I need a car please.

Yes, Ma'am, you and everybody else.

No no, I mean I really need a car.

I'm sorry, they're not paying me to stick around here.

I understand that, but please, can you...

Hey, wait wait wait wait wait!

That's Jackson!

That's Jackson! Hey, hey, wait a minute!

That's my friend! That's my friend Jackson!

How'd you make out?

The damn gas line is a mile long.

The car's on empty, Ron. I know, honey.

We're doing the best we can.

Where's Miles? Where's Savanna?

Savanna's already got a carload

and she's headed to your mother's.

Miles is trying to call Caitlin, I think.

Doesn't he understand we have to get out of here?

Siphon.

We can siphon the gas out of the Mercedes.

Good. Good thinking.

Hey, what's this?

(television) That all eastbound lanes on I-40

will be reversed shortly. Oh, my God.

Repeat, all eastbound lanes

on I-40 will be reversed shortly.

Look at the freeway.

That's why we've gotta hurry.

Come on, Miles.

Yeah.

All circuits are busy now.

Please try your call again later.

Thank you for using...

What are you doing on the phone?

I was just trying-- We've got 40 minutes, honey.

Now, listen to me and do exactly what I tell you, okay?

I want you to get your Vespa and start now for the ferry.

Alone?

Jared and I are just gonna enable the back-up generators

and then hightail it out of here ourselves.

I want you to get a head start.

Drive up to Uncle Eddie's.

Daddy, I...

Caitlin, you can do it. You're a big girl.

Now, get on your scooter and go.

We'll meet up in the mainland, I promise.

I--I can't get a hold of Miles.

Miles is long gone with his family.

Now get going. And no detours.

I know that look.

Miles is fine.

Just go.

This is Sean. Leave a message please.

Sean. Hi, it's Laura.

Um...

You know, I know you've probably seen what's happening

on the East Coast right now.

And, go figure, that's where I am.

I'm in North Carolina on the...

East Coast.

And I just want you to tell Jesse

that I love him so much.

Quite simply, he means everything to me.

And I need you to tell him that.

Even if I've made the stupidest choices.

And I love you for being a great dad always...

and forever.

And I guess I don't tell you that enough.

Gotta go.

But, um, all right, bye.

What are you doing, lady? Turn this car around.

Yeah, I'm going eastbound.

No, you're not. No, you're not.

I have to get through.

Lady, turn this car around and get out of here now.

All lanes have been reversed. This is a mandatory evacuation.

I understand that.

Turn the car around now.

But my friend is on--

Lady, turn the car around and get out of here now.

Fine, I understand.

Turn the car around.

Hey hey!

Are you almost done?

Who is that guy?

Ron. We gotta go, let's go.

I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming.

I just don't like the looks of that character.

Don't worry, Nim'll be okay.

(newscaster on television) If you're just joining us,

we're broadcasting remotely from Raleigh.

All of us in the news offices have left

about an hour ago.

Our helicopters are still there.

They're getting some good shots

of cars everywhere.

People just fleeing, parking

to get away any way they can.

And yet, it's not easy

because these roads are jammed.

It's grim out there.

The countdown continues.

Nobody knows what it's going to be like

when this thing hits our shores.

You got everything?

Yeah.

Okay, we're set.

Let's go.

(newscaster on television) Looking at our chopper cam here,

you can see the line for gasoline

at this local gas station off I-40 is absolutely...

Wait wait wait, now guys, hang on.

You don't have to do this, huh?

You got a tsunami coming.

You can't leave a dude in here to die, huh?

Hey, wait wait! Wait, y'all.

Wait wait wait wait wait--come on!

Hey man, come on, please.

Please now!

Hey! Wait a minute now!

Wait wait wait! Hey!

Fifteen minutes to lockdown.

Hey!

Hey, you can't leave me in here with that thing coming!

[muffled shouting]

Fifteen minutes to...

Miles?

Miles?

Miles?

Hello?

Miles?

Miles?

[scooter engine revving]

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Stop!

Stop! What are you doing?

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Any luck?

Still nothing.

Cell towers are overwhelmed.

I'm sure she's fine.

(radio) Repeat, Highway 17 drawbridge

has been temporarily closed.

You can expect at least a one-hour delay.

Ron, Savanna.

Don't worry, I'm sure she made it out.

An hour to clear?

We don't have an hour.

Ferry.

It's the only way off now.

Ron, that Ferry is so tiny.

It barely holds a couple hundred people.

It doesn't matter.

It's the only way off the island.

Hey, man, hey hey! Wait wait wait wait--

[muffled]

(male voice on P.A.) East-west passage closed on all levels.

ASI...

Hey. Hey!

Hey! Hey wait wait wait!

[muffled shouting]

Come here. Can you open the door?

Can you open that door?

[silence]

Can you open--

Yes. Yeah!

Yeah yeah yeah. It's okay.

That thing.

Right right right.

Hey, get away from there.

No no no. No no, wait wait--stop!

No. Please-please!

[silence]

Come on, I'm a human being!

Brighton deployed, Durban deployed.

Patagonia deployed.

Sub phylum tigris accounted for.

The big cats. Ship it.

(security chief) What do you wanna do with him?

That's the least of my issues.

We're 23 minutes out.

He's seen a lot of the facility.

He is locked up on a floor that's meant

to withstand the wave.

Then do what you have to.

I got work to do.

[excited chatter]

God, look at this mess.

The ferry only runs once an hour.

I'm sure they're on it, sweetheart.

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

Oh, it's Savanna.

Good.

Hey, could someone else try to call to call Caitlin

on their phone please?

I'm trying to concentrate here.

No no no no.

Let's focus on our own situation here

for a minute, can we?

Can we do that for a minute?

Okay, that was Savanna.

She's on her way to Raleigh.

She said that the traffic opens up

right after Elizabethtown.

All right, then we'll meet her on the other side.

Just stay with me. Excuse us.

Miles, stay with us.

Stay together.

Sorry, sorry.

[grunting]

[yelling]

(intercom) Final call for transport.

Final call for transport.

(man) This is it! Clear out!

(intercom) Warning, warning.

All personnel evacuate.

[breathing heavily]

Okay, are you all right, there?

Miles, are you okay?

(male voice over P.A.) Please remain calm

and proceed in an orderly fashion.

Stay together.

Everybody just stay together.

Wait, stop stop stop.

Stop!

Why? There are three of us.

Bags--give me your bags. Why?

We don't have room for them.

Fine, fine. Wait!

Everything, everything.

Dr. Bloom!

Dr. Bloom!

Hey! Dr. Bloom!

Miles!

Dr. Bloom!

(Sylvia) Miles!

Sorry.

Dr. Bloom! Excuse me.

Sorry. Dr. Bloom!

Miles.

Hey, where's Caitlin?

She went ahead on her scooter.

How? The bridge is out.

What?

Wha...

[scooter motor revving]

(Dr. Bloom) Miles, that scooter.

Isn't that...

Hey, what are you doing? You can't leave that there.

Come on, forget him.

[alarm blaring outside]

[clears throat]

This is Tracy Connelly.

Please leave a message after the beep.

[beep]

Hey, it's me.

Um...

I got myself into kind of a bad situation here.

And, uh...

I really wish I could just be with you right now.

Um...

I don't know what's gonna happen.

And I know that we really didn't leave it

on a very good note.

So I just want you to know that I love you.

And I've always loved you.

And I love the girls.

And...

I'm sorry I made you upset.

Bye.

[woman over intercom] Ladies and gentlemen,

passengers have been moved

into several of our vehicle storage areas

in an attempt to assist as many people as possible.

There are buses standing by

to transport evacuees further inland once disbark.

Hey! Where is she?

What are you talking about, little--

Where is she?!

(Dr. Bloom) Miles, don't!

Where is she?

Miles, don't!

Tell me! The beach.

Seaside Lane.

Miles!

What did you do to her?

Nothing, man, I took her machine, that's all.

Miles, what's going on?

Miles?

She went back there.

(Sylvia) Back where?

At the house. She's at the house.

Miles, Miles!

Miles! No no, Miles!

(Sylvia and Ron) Miles!

[boat horn blows]

[horns honking]

[cell phone ringing]

Hello? Hello?

Hey, Laura.

Rich! Hey, God...

Okay, where are you?

Tell me where you are.

Uh, look...

I just wanted to talk to you for a second

in case I never see you again.

Would you shut up with that, please?

Just tell me where you are.

Laura, it doesn't matter.

Just listen.

It does matter 'cause I'm here. I'm in Wilmington.

What? You're here?

What do you mean? You're here?

Yes, I'm almost at Iderdex.

You came out here in the middle of a tsunami

to get me?

Yeah.

Oh, attagirl.

Attagirl!

Caitlin!

Caitlin!

Caitlin!

[female newscaster on television]

Caitlin! Caitlin!

It is a zoo out there.

The roads are just jammed.

[Nim grumbles]

(Miles) Nim!

...a rough road ahead of us.

Caitlin!

[Nim growls]

[helmet drops]

Caitlin.

Caitlin. Wake up!

Caitlin, wake up!

Come on. We don't have much time.

Wake up!

Miles.

I found you.

Come on.

Come on, let's go. Hurry.

(Daughtery) All right, Rich.

I'm pulling up, I'm outside of Iderdex.

Where are you exactly?

I have no idea.

They brought me down in an elevator.

You gotta get down!

You gotta go many many floors down.

This place is huge, Laura, I'm telling you.

Huge!

I gotta put the phone down for a second.

For what?

'Cause I gotta use my hands.

All right, I'm in.

All right, well, find me. Come on.

Listen, here's the deal, okay?

You need to get in an elevator.

And if that elevator ain't going down 20 floors,

then you ain't in the right one, all right?

Okay, okay. I'm looking.

(intercom) Eight minutes to power generators off.

Okay, I'm at the elevator.

Oh, good.

[elevator dings]

All right, there's 12 lower levels, Rich.

You gotta pick one, okay?

We've got 15 minutes to get to higher ground.

Oh, gosh.

All right, level 5.

Okay, sublevel 5. Here we go.

Hey! Stop!

[elevator dings]

All right, you know what?

Start yelling and maybe I'll be able to hear you, okay?

Can you hear me? Hey!

Hey, Laura!

[Rich yelling over phone]

Okay, Rich, okay.

I'm in a security room.

There's, like, monitors everywhere.

Can you unlock me?

Can you get me out of here?

(intercom) Attention, reserve generators

will suspend operations in three minutes.

Come on, come on. Laura!

Oh, my God.

What? What is it?

There's a monorail.

Yes, I know. I saw it.

But it's going down

into this huge hole.

It's like bigger than the Holland friggin' Tunnel.

It's huge!

Have you seen this?

Are you anywhere near this?

I'm not there. I'm not in that part.

I'm not in that part!

Marianas Trench.

It's going to the bottom of the world.

Laura, are you still there?

Um, I'm here. I'm here.

Um...

I'm sorry.

Yes, I'm here, Rich. I'm here.

Can you wave your arms?

Can you wave your arms for me, please?

Rich, are you waving your arms?

I don't see you.

All right. All right, all right, all right.

Oh, jeez, there's a master lock right here

on a console.

What? Can you get me out of here?

Can you unlock it?

Okay.

Wait a second, it's not a retina scanner.

It works on biometrics. Of course it does.

What?

Um, okay.

Okay, access denied.

Okay, but that's okay.

Access granted, Rich!

I see the doors opening!

Hey, wait a minute.

You did it! You did it!

All right, sublevel 10.

I'll meet you at the elevator.

Okay, I'm coming.

I'm coming right now. I'm coming.

I can see where you are.

Just hang in there, okay?

Okay.

Okay, I'm coming.

Come on, okay.

Going up? Reserve generators off grid

in 3, 2, 1.

No!

All right, come on, there's a stairway over here.

Hey, I gotta tell ya.

I think I saw Jackson. What?

What? Jackson? My Jackson here?

Come on come on!

Wait, hold on, you saw him?

He's alive?

Yeah.

I was being walked in myself.

And I think I saw him on one of the monitors.

Should we go back and get him?

No no no. Listen.

It doesn't matter, there's nobody here, trust me.

Everybody's gone from here. We gotta go, come on.

All right.

What are you looking for?

Boat key.

These them?

Yeah. Good.

Where's Nim?

We gotta go. We gotta get out of here.

We're going to our correspondent John Wien,

on the ground.

John, what's the latest?

[Nim grumbling]

(John) Thanks, Phil.

To call this city a ghost town

would be a grave understatement.

In fact, the only people that remain

are news crews such as ourselves.

Phil, I don't have the best vantage point to see.

But what I can tell you is there is something big

moving through the streets.

In fact, I think we might be able

to catch a glimpse of it just over my right--

Oh, my God!

It's him.

They look just like Nim.

What are these things, Miles?

Are they doing this?

(Miles) I don't know.

All right, come on.

Come on, let's go.

Where's all the water?

It's receded.

The wave. It's coming.

Come on.

[breathing heavily]

This place is massive, man.

We have to make a decision.

Let's go that way.

Hang on, wait a minute.

What?

Do you feel that?

What?

Feel that wind?

So? So?

Haven't you ever been lost in a cave?

No.

Follow the wind, baby.

All right, fine.

Just come on, this way. Come on.

[man yelling]

What is that? What is that?

[man laughing maniacally]

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay, it's a person.

[man laughing]

Hey man, where's the exit?

Do you know?

No exit's going to help you.

What? What are you talking about?

Hey, snap out of it, pal!

Don't you know what's getting ready to happen here?

I know exactly what's going to happen here.

Why do you think the IC created it?

All in the future.

Nothing can compare to what the future will hold.

Hey, listen.

Hey, come on, man!

Let me go!

No exit will help you!

Well, let me be the judge of that!

You just tell me where it is!

Where is it?

[laughs]

We don't have time for this!

Come on!

Hey!

Follow the water.

Drip. Drip drip drip.

Follow the water. Follow the water!

Yeah.

Wait, no no, we got to go!

We gotta go up! Come on!

Okay.

Come on.

So where can we go, the house?

The house isn't gonna be here three minutes from now.

So where then? Up.

Top of the drawbridge. It's stuck open.

We'll never make it.

Yes, we will.

My dad's car.

You're going really fast.

Yeah, well, we gotta get there.

I know, just be careful, okay?

Yeah.

You sure you can drive?

I did steal a car once.

Come on.

Go! Come on!

One of these cars gotta...

Maybe we'll get lucky.

[alarm blares]

No, nothing.

Come on!

Be lucky, baby. Be lucky!

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, man, come on!

Hey, you son of a bitch!

How about a little help, man!

What kind of jerk doesn't stop!

It's all right, it's all right.

We're gonna be okay.

Oh, God.

[tire screeching]

There's a car. There's a car.

Hey! Hey!

Please stop! Stop!

Caitlin, I think there's people up ahead.

I know. They want a ride.

Yeah, if they want a ride, should we pick 'em up?

No, we don't have time to stop.

Well, we should pick 'em up.

We don't have time to stop!

Please! Please stop!

Caitlin, they're not moving.

She's not moving!

Get out of the way!

He's not stopping.

He's not stopping.

Get out of the road!

Come on!

[engine struggling]

It's not starting.

I think they're angry.

Just trying to get a ride, you stupid son of a bitch!

What are you trying to do, kill us?

Huh? You trying to kill us?

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

How old are you?

I'm 14.

All right, you're forgiven. Get in the back.

What?

Get in the back now!

Get in the back! In the back!

This car isn't starting.

Don't worry, I got it.

I heard ya.

Is it starting?

[engine starts]

Misspent youth.

(radio) Hit just north of Savannah in the last hour.

And we just lost contact with our station affiliate,

in Hilton Head.

So we know that Hilton Head has been hit.

It's been reported that the wave

is as high as 30 feet in some locations.

[Nim gurgling]

What is that thing?

Hey, it's cool.

What do you mean it's cool?

What are you talking about?

What's it doing in this car?

Just drive. Just drive the car.

He's a pet.

It's got six feet.

It's a pet?

It's my pet.

A pet?

He's my pet.

It's got six feet.

Where did you get that?

Where did you find that?

I raised it from an egg

that I found in the bay.

It's got the claws just like...

It's just like the big ones.

This is remarkable that he's sitting

in this car. I don't care. Get it out of here.

You know about these things?

Yeah, I know about those things.

But a lot bigger than that.

You know about them.

Yes, the adult versions.

Have you seen the adult ones?

I told you, Miles!

Those things we saw on TV

in Puerto Rico!

What are you talking about you saw 'em on TV?

They're all over Puerto Rico.

What?

One ate a reporter.

It's happening.

(radio) Landfall expected in Wilmington, North Carolina

in a matter of moments,

as unprecedented destruction continues up the coast

of the United States.

[engine stalling]

What's going on?

(Miles) Oh no.

Why is the car stopping?

I don't know! I'm trying!

No gas.

What?

No gas.

What do you mean no gas?

We siphoned it.

We siphoned the gas.

Siphoned it!

No. Um...

Is there a reserve tank in this thing?

Rich!

You guys?

You guys!

You guys!

Higher ground! The steeple!

Run, run, run, run, run, run!

Come on, come on, come on, come on!

Come on, keep going!

Caitlin, come on!

[all yelling]

Go go go!

Don't look back!

Just keep going!

Go go go go go!

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Careful!

We need something heavy.

We need to bang something against it.

There!

That'll work. That'll work.

Stop that.

I wanna see my dad!

No no, stop that.

You are gonna see your dad.

You're gonna see your dad, I'm gonna see my son.

You don't know that! You don't know.

You don't know what happened to them.

You don't know.

Yes, I do.

You don't know what's happening.

I do know that.

No, you don't.

You gotta believe that.

You don't know.

Hey, um... I think it's over.

I think it's over.

No, it's not.

Tsunamis come in sets.

There's gonna be one wave

and then there's gonna be another.

And another.

Oh, my God.

What?

Hold on.

Rich!

I'm banging as hard as I can!

Come on!

Ugh!

Come on!

Get down!

Hang on. Hang on!

All right.

We're okay. We're okay.

All right. All right.

You okay?

[all breathing heavily]

Uh... He cool?

Huh?

Good boy. Good boy.

It is...a new world.
