This is McKewan.

I'm at GPS coordinates

48.98 by 32.316 on Vinci Ridge

nine miles south of

the main town of Ascension.

Test beacon 21 has

Recorded another occurrence

At 010-hundred.

We're commencing

The next imaging testing.

I'm initiating sequence

in five, four, three,

Two, and one.

Mark.

What was that?

Okay, the graph's

Going crazy here.

That was another.

Ground temperature's rising.

I'm getting readings

from all over the Mountain.

We 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?

Do not copy.

Control, do you copy?

McKewan!

O'Neil!

Are you okay?

Oh, my God!

Radio: Tracking system

Has been activated.

Secure the device.

Priority is the device.

Timber!

Whoa!

Come on, boys.

Greg rumbles more

when he eats chili.

Get back to work.

Give me a hand over here,

Will you?

Sure.

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?

Whoa, hey.

What the hell was that?

All right, get away

From the trees!

What's going on?

You hear that?

Joe!

Come on!

Get that thing off his leg!

Oh, God!

Looks like it hurts!

Oh, I need a lawyer!

You know what it

Looks like to me?

What?

You're spending football

Season on the couch.

Oh, God, let it be

Eight weeks.

I'm gonna get the truck,

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 freakin' earthquake!

All right, boys.

It's gonna hurt like hell,

So let's do it quick.

All right.

Wait, wait!

One, two, three!

Three.

All right, be careful

Of that leg.

Putting on weight, huh?

You are one tough

Son of a bitch, Joe.

Joe! Joe!

Hold on a second!

What? What's wrong?

Joe?

Joe! 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?

Daniel!

What?

I'm sorry.

I'm gonna 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

Subduction 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 gonna have to go up there

And do some field readings.

This is not adding up.

Wait, wait, wait.

You're gonna go up there?

Yeah.

That volcano isn't

Listed as dormant.

It's extinct.

It hasn't so much as belched

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 gonna take a whole lot

More than those printouts

To convince the locals

There is something up,

Especially their

Hard-headed sheriff.

How do you know that?

He's my Uncle.

So long.

Thomas.

Sheriff.

You okay?

Well, as okay as

I'm gonna be.

Figure anything out?

No. Well, nothing conclusive.

They're gonna do an autopsy.

That should tell us more.

It's the craziest thing,

Sheriff.

Well, you said that

He broke his leg, right?

That was it?

Yeah.

He got hit by a branch.

He got busted up pretty good.

I've seen worse.

We've seen worse.

I just wanted to get him

Off the hill.

I went to grab the truck.

Maybe I shouldn't have left.

Okay, come on.

You can't blame yourself.

So do you want me

To give you a ride home?

No, no.

You sure?

Yeah.

I'm good, sheriff. Thanks.

I just want to figure out

What happened up there.

Yeah.

What you got

Going on here, pops?

I'm not sure.

See you stopped

Taking your meds.

No, I'm still on 'em.

Well, sort of.

Doc's gonna love that answer.

Well, I'm gonna

Take 'em later.

Make it harder to think.

I need to be clear right now.

What's all this?

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.

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

Worse shaking more than usual.

Something's happening, son,

Something bad.

Dad, I know you hate them.

But, I mean, your meds.

Maybe they could bring

A little light

Into the darkness.

Dad?

You're patronizing me.

No, I'm not, dad.

Dad?

Have you seen my backpack,

The one that holds

The sleeping bag?

Hey! What are you doing here?

There was an accident

On the site today.

I'm sorry.

What do you need

Your backpack for?

Jerrod and I are going

Camping for the weekend.

Mount Lincoln?

Yep.

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!

'Til we figure out

What caused the accident.

I think I can handle

A campout.

Oh, for crying out loud, dad!

Hey, can you handle that?

What are you doing?

We're trying to figure...

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

With Monica's books.

Yeah, well, no wonder.

Dad, your meds?

Give me lift into town?

Deal.

Let's go.

I'm still picking up

A signal.

The terrain's making it

Difficult to navigate.

No, that's a negative.

No status of the team.

Have we heard anything

From the rest of them?

Hold on! Hold on!

I got another quake

Rolling through.

I'll call you back.

Hi, Zoe.

Hey, Professor, Thomas.

Hey, Zoe.

Thought I'd come by

And wrap up Monica's books

While she's away on holiday.

I'd have come by earlier,

But I got distracted.

The ledger's on

The desk in the back.

Thanks.

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?

He's not messing up?

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 guess

I thought I should let you know.

Thanks.

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,

I don't know, it's good for him.

Keeps his mind going

Since he stopped teaching.

I mean, it's not charity

Or anything.

He figured out that tax thing.

You 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.

Okay, all right.

Any time. See you later.

Thomas!

Emily!

How are you?

I'm fine. How are you?

Good, good, yeah.

What are you doing here?

Work.

Work?

Just doing some research,

Plus couldn't pass up the chance

To live it up for

A couple of 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 crew

Was actually killed.

What?

Yeah.

Do you know Joe Enfield?

No.

Great guy, great friend.

I'm on the way to see

His family right now.

I'm really sorry.

If there's anything I can do...

Nah, it's fine.

How long you in town for?

Not long.

Just gonna take some readings.

Maybe we can grab

A bite sometime.

Uh, yeah.

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.

Maybe there.

Okay.

What's this?

Self-portrait?

Very funny.

This is a creature

The Mayans believed

Lurked in the underworld

And would one day rise up

And exact revenge on society.

I mean, why would the Mayans

Think your creature

Would want vengeance on them?

Reckoning.

Well, what did they do?

Every culture has

Its myths of eschatology,

Destruction stories,

End of time scenarios.

Whenever a society

Has been close to destroying

Its surroundings

Or on the brink 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 every culture

Has its own version.

Are you crazy?

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have...

I don't think so.

I hate those.

No matter how long I live here,

I will never get used to them.

Oh, your drawings!

Oh, it's all right.

Never mind, never mind.

Hello?

Are you getting this?

Uh-huh.

Something massive

Happened here last night.

Every box recorded it

And there's nothing wrong

With the sensors.

Yeah. This is not good.

If this thing is

Becoming active, it's not doing

Anything by the book.

It's 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 will

Be plugged and...

And 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, mansey.

I'd say it sounds

Like we have co2 leaking.

All over the Mountain.

I gotta go!

All right, come on, mutts!

Out you come!

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?

That branch broke off,

Came down and hit Joe,

But he was lucid.

He was conscious.

I run 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!

Huh?

Stand up right now!

Pick up the dog!

Pick him up!

Emily?

There's a cloud

of CO2 hovering

above the ground

about three feet high.

Anything 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.

Well, 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 want 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

Via the main road.

I need you to find me a guide,

A local, somebody that 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 forcing these fossils

To the surface.

Yeah, yeah, it's coming in now.

Can that be right?

We have a new report

Published today.

The effects of global warming

Were made alarmingly clear

By the scientific community,

Although several

Conservative groups still raise

Concerns over

Their authenticity.

This despite

The stunning collapse

Of the Dietrich ice shelf

Just days ago.

More on the reaction

To this accelerated phenomenon

Following the station break.

Grace? Have you heard this?

We're annihilating ourselves

And nothing's being done!

Something's gonna happen!

Something has to happen to stop

It before we destroy the world!

Dad, I just...

Look at 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 have to go, okay?

It's like when 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!

Split her heart in two!

And tiamat was no more!

Okay. Dad, I have to go,

But I'll be back soon, okay?

I'll be back soon.

Hey.

What does this look

Like to you?

It was 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.

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.

Yet 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,

Creating new lava pipes,

Venting co2.

Okay, and 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.

Em?

You sure?

Yeah.

Be careful up there.

Don't push it.

Yeah. I'll be fine.

Watch out!

You might hit something!

I'm driving here.

Stop!

Relax.

Woo!

That doesn't turn me on!

Stop it.

What?

Hey, wait!

Thomas Walsh?

Yeah.

Hi. Jack Murray.

Hi.

I'm told no one

Knows these mountains

Better than you do.

I know 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 our outposts.

I'm a geologist.

Yeah, we had some equipment fail

Near vinci Ridge

At our base camp,

So I'm just looking

For a guide.

Today's not the best day

To go up that Mountain,

Jack, was it?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, whatever it is,

It can wait.

No.

Actually, I'm afraid it can't.

I'm told you're ex-military.

You served under hardin.

I am, was, helicopter pilot,

13th.

Hardin's a friend of mine.

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 the 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 10.

Thank you.

You're quiet.

I mean, I'm sorry

About the off-roading.

It's not that.

What is it?

I'm fine.

No. Look, 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!

Hey.

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 gonna 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?

Reception 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 globe.

I mean, yesterday I saw

Reports of tsunamis

Off the coast of Indonesia

While Japan was

Rocked by an 8.4.

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

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?

Oh!

William, you're just

Gonna 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, now you and I go

Back a long way, right?

We've 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 progression

Of things.

It has been since

The dawn of man.

No, not this time, sheriff!

The myths are clear.

From the depths of obscurity

Ascends a creature with one

Purpose and one purpose only.

Well, 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

And 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!

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 getting close?

It's a little bit further.

Who'd you say

You work for again?

I didn't.

Whoa!

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, because I want

Tonight to be perfect.

What?

Huh? Uh, nothing.

What are you talking about?

I just want us 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.

Your 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 just the way it is.

I'm sorry.

Just no talking

For 10 minutes.

Deal, totally.

Good job, jerrod.

This is it.

What the hell happened here?

Don't touch anything.

Gladly.

What branch of the military

You working for again?

What?

What branch of

The military you working for.

Said you worked under hardin.

What is this?

Government contracts?

Black ops?

You wouldn't know.

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?

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.

Some 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.

This thing is gonna blow and,

When it does, it's gonna take

Everything with it.

All right, fine.

Look, my trucks

Not far from here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Wait a minute!

Thomas, I need you

To guide me up that hill.

Look, if she says

It's time to clear out,

That's what's happening.

Fine.

Tell me how to get there.

Experienced hikers

And climbers have trouble

With that area.

You're never gonna make it.

Can't this wait?

No! No, it can't.

Travel this direction

A half mile.

You reach an impasse.

You make it over,

You'll be in the vicinity.

Good luck.

Come on, I'll take you down.

This is it!

It's here!

It's here.

It's okay. I'm not mad.

Promise?

I promise.

Why are you so nervous?

I'm not.

So, this is the spot?

Yep.

I used to come here a lot

When I was growing up.

Yeah, you said that.

It means something to you,

Doesn't it?

Well, minus the rain.

Yeah, it does.

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 knee.

Ow!

Like that?

Yeah, like that.

I can't imagine a life

Without you in it.

Me neither.

What are...

Grace Walsh,

Will you marry me?

That wasn't there before.

Was that there before?

What?

Hey!

What?

Let's get outta here!

Run, run, run, run, run!

Uncle Matt!

Emily, 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.

Well, 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's unsafe.

Soil we found up there

Was littered with hot pumice

And ash.

The material on mount Lincoln

Is known to have interlay

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 to 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 of lives.

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.

It was alive!

Let's just get to

The bottom of the Mountain.

A giant eye or something!

Let's go! Go, go, go, go!

Hello? Hello?

This is agent Murray.

Can you hear me?

Affirmative. Proceed.

I've salvaged the 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.

It's nothing.

I thought I heard...

What the hell is that?

I don't know.

Where's that smoke

Coming from?

There must be something

That think pushed up

From under the ground.

It's huge!

I don't know.

It looked like it

Just pushed it up.

Do you think it's inside?

Jerrod! Jerrod!

Huh? What?

Just stay close.

I don't wanna

Be here anymore.

I know, I know.

I know you don't.

Hey, I am not gonna

Let anything happen to you,

But the only way that

We are gonna get out of this

Is that we make it down

And we stay calm, okay?

Okay, okay.

It's gonna be fine,

It's gonna be fine.

Let's just get outta here.

Hold my hand.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. You?

Yeah.

Okay.

Let's get outta here!

Keep moving!

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 ascension.

Now I know that we've had

Drills like this before.

We've had some tremblers

And rumblers, but this one,

Although it is not immediate,

It is imminent

And we're gonna ask

You to leave town.

So I want you 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,

It's happening.

Dad, dad, dad.

Now's not the time.

Look, we gotta leave, all right?

They're evacuating the town,

So get to the truck.

We're leaving.

What about grace?

Well, we're gonna get her

At the house.

She's not there.

She's already gone.

Oh no.

She's gone up the Mountain.

Now? Why would she do that?

'Cause she has no idea

All this is going on.

All right, I gotta go up

And get her.

Well, she could be anywhere.

No, she'll be

At Hudson clearing.

It's where she's been going

Since she was a kid.

Well, can we call her?

There's no reception.

All right, dad, listen.

This is important, all right?

I need you go to down

To Olympia, all right?

Go to aunt Evelyn's house

And wait there 'til we get back.

Thomas...

No, dad, dad!

This is not up for discussion.

I'm gonna go with you.

What? No!

I'm gonna go with you!

You sure?

Yeah.

All right. Get your gear.

Thomas, I want you

To take this.

Now dad...

Your mother gave this

To me years ago to protect me.

You should keep it.

It's a sacred piece

From the puyallup tribe.

I want you to take it.

Dad, you keep it.

Come on.

Thomas, please?

Just wear it for me?

All right,

All right, dad, fine.

Olympia, aunt Evelyn's, please?

Got it.

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 things!

But hold on a second.

I gotta 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.

Well, he still has

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.

Seems like he can't handle

Reality, so he creates

This world that he can live in

And control.

I don't know.

Is that why you left?

No.

Well, maybe, I don't know.

We had planned

To go away together,

Remember?

Sometimes things

Just don't work out

The way you planned.

Hello?

Do you hear that?

Yeah, yeah. This way.

Hello?

Jack?

What happened?

I busted 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. Oh!

You got it?

Yeah, I think so.

You need to get back

Down the hill.

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?

All right, look,

We're headed that direction.

If you can keep up and,

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 ascension.

Zoe, 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!

Professor?

Run! Run!

It's not just

A piece of equipment.

Well, what is it then?

That's the million

Dollar question.

What's the government

Doing up here?

You don't wanna 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?

Okay.

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 didn't we hear it?

It was completely

Subterranean.

It's like we felt it and

Never even acknowledged it.

We picked up a spike in

About six months ago,

But we recorded it

As a sensor glitch.

We picked up the same

Glitch a few days ago.

It wasn't a glitch.

Every one of my teams

Recorded the same thing.

Then why weren't we warned?

About what, Thomas?

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 life

As we know it.

A volcano?

No, not quite.

We believe that an event

Of this magnitude

Occurred 30,000 years ago

And again 15,000 years ago.

We believe it's gonna

Happen again right here.

This case is...

I need this case.

Come on.

You okay?

What the hell was that?

I have no idea.

Let's get the hell outta here!

Where's Jack?

Where's Jack?

Jack! Jack!

He's barely breathing.

Listen to me.

You got to get the case.

You got to get the case.

It's a weapon inside,

The only thing that can stop...

Jack!

He's gone.

All right, Jack.

Come on, let's go.

Hey! Hey, you okay?

You okay?

I don't wanna die.

Hey, we have come too far

To lose each other now, okay?

My dad was right.

He told me that a monster

Was gonna destroy the world.

All along he was telling me

That something was coming,

But I thought he was crazy,

So I left and I didn't listen.

All we have to do

Is just find a way out

Of here as soon

As possible, okay?

I know.

Come on.

Oh, my God, are you okay?

Yeah. Are you?

Are you all right?

Oh, I think so.

What's happening?

I think we've fallen

Into a sinkhole.

We're buried underground?

Looks like it.

Well, how far down are we?

I mean, what caused this?

I'm not sure.

Well, we gotta get

Out of here!

We have to get out!

Zoe, Zoe!

You have to be calm.

You have to stay calm.

Calm? We're trapped!

Zoe, Zoe!

You have to be...

I need your help.

You have to be strong.

Okay.

Okay.

Take cover!

Oh, God,

It's happening again!

No! It's just an aftershock!

No! It's collapsing on us!

No, no!

The diner's 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.

No, no, no!

We've gotta stay calm.

We'll find a way out of here.

I'll go check the back.

You check the back.

I'm gonna check the windows.

Oh, my God!

It's here.

No! What is that?

There it is.

All right, I gotta go down

And get it.

No. We gotta get grace

And get outta here

Or 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,

You're 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.

You ready?

One, two, three!

No!

We can't stop it,

But we can buy some time.

Tape for the cracks

In the windows?

Yes, yes, yes!

Get some duct tape!

Quickly! Come on!

Here, you tear off pieces

And I'll put them on.

Okay, okay. Here.

In myth, it was called

The dragon's breath,

But science has identified

It as carbon dioxide.

Myth and reality

Have become one.

Couple more pieces

And we've got it.

Just, um...

Zoe? Zoe! No, Zoe! Zoe!

Stand up, stand up and 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 gonna hold?

I don't...

Yes, yes, for now,

But we have to find a way

Out of here quickly.

How?

I'll find us a way.

Okay.

All right.

Just a little bit further.

One, two...

Oh, got it!

Good job, em.

Just get back up here.

Let's get

The hell out of here!

No!

Thomas? No!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Hurry!

Hurry.

Now I know why

They call this place

The climber's graveyard.

Let's go.

It's hopeless.

Everything's blocked.

We'll find a way out.

We're gonna 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 trying to find

A meaning for it all.

We were 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...

Just sometimes

There's a second chance.

Do you understand me, Zoe?

I understand, yeah.

Watch your step.

Stay to the side.

Will everything be okay?

Be careful.

Oh, God.

Jerrod, hold on!

Help!

Jerrod, hold on, please!

Oh, God.

Jerrod, hold on, please!

Hold on!

Please!

Jerrod!

No!

Jerrod!

Help!

Jerrod!

Help! Please, help.

Thomas!

I got you!

Let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go, let's go, go!

What the hell was that?

I have no idea,

But let's get the hell

Out of here!

It's no use.

The 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 mankind

Simply has to pay attention.

A behemoth so foreboding that

The only way to stop it is...

What are you saying?

This is a creature that has

Existed before history,

Before time,

Risen from its slumber

When the world is at its worst,

On the brink of annihilation.

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!

Oh, my God, the hatch!

You found it!

We can climb through that

And get to the top of the diner!

Oh, let's get a ladder!

Jerrod, no!

Come on.

I'm so sorry,

Sweetheart, I am.

He asked me to marry him.

We were gonna

Be together always!

I know, I know.

But listen to me,

You gotta stay with me, okay?

We have got to get

Off this Mountain.

Can you do that?

Okay.

All right. Okay.

This is a sat-nav map

Of mount Lincoln.

This heat signature must be

The creature.

It's all of mount Lincoln.

Where are we supposed to go?

We're gonna go down

The Southern Ridge.

We'll hook up with the lockman

Trail and be able to get over

To the ranger station.

Why there?

Forest services uses it

As a spot-fire landing zone.

Should be a helicopter.

Well, what if there isn't?

There will be.

Shouldn't we

Just hike it down?

You really want to hike

Back down through that mess?

No.

We're gonna get away

From this creature, okay?

All right.

All right, come on, let's go,

Let's go.

There!

Okay, okay, yeah.

Come on.

Careful.

Stay calm now.

Now you go up first.

I'll help you up and

Then you pull me up after.

No, wait.

There's no way

I can lift you up.

You have to go up first

And then pull me up.

Okay.

You got it!

Come on, Zoe, come on.

Come on.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Ah!

Zoe! Zoe!

Zoe!

Zoe.

Keep going, keep going!

Keep going, come on!

The Mountain!

Come on, let's go!

Come on!

Focus!

Zoe? Zoe!

Zoe, I have to get you

Out of here!

Zoe!

Please, sweetheart,

Come on, come on.

Come on.

Let me pull you.

That's it.

Lift you up, come on.

Zoe?

Come on, come on!

I need you to open your eyes.

Just stay with me.

Zoe, 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 got to do is get

To the ranger station.

Look out!

Get down!

Em!

Over here! Hurry!

Let's go, lets go, let's go!

If we can get

I can get us out of here!

Let's go! Come on!

We're running out of air.

Co2 is filling up the room.

Here.

I'm so tired.

That's all right.

Stay with me.

There. There we go.

Up you go first.

It's gonna come back again.

Just be quick, just be quick.

Careful now, careful.

That's it, that's it.

Keep going, keep going.

Good, good. Well done.

> Almost there.

There's a lip there.

Reach then...

I've got it!

Good, good, okay.

Nice job, Zoe.

Okay, okay, Professor.

Come grab my hand.

You're almost there.

Yeah, yeah.

Grab my hand.

No, Professor!

Professor Walsh!

Professor!

Professor Walsh!

Are you okay?

Professor?

Professor!

Professor Walsh!

Please, Professor,

We have to get out of here!

Come on, Professor.

Stand up! Stand up!

I'm right here.

I'll pull you up.

Here! Hurry!

Come on up!

Go! Go!

Look, I gotta figure out

How to fire this weapon.

Get the chopper started,

All right?

I don't know how!

How many times

I take you flying?

A long time ago!

Turn on the battery switch,

Turn on the fuel switch,

Hit start, introduce fuel,

Stay with her!

Check the intake.

Okay.

Okay.

All right, buddy,

I got a treat for you.

Oh, please be simple,

Please be simple.

You gotta be kidding.

Battery.

Come on!

Fuel valve.

Oh, come on, come on!

Here we go.

Come on.

Got it!

Great! Let's go!

It's prepped!

All right.

It's not exactly

Ideal conditions.

Look out!

You all right?

Yeah.

Professor, come on!

Just a little bit further.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm right here.

Come on up.

Come on, I got you.

Professor!

Thomas, shoot it!

Shoot it where?

Anywhere!

We got one shot!

I don't know where to shoot it.

It was the only way

To kill her!

Fired 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 is it?

What?

What are you talking about?

He told me

Where to shoot the creature.

He was talking about

A Marduk or something!

No, no!

It was Tiamat!

Tiamat, the embodiment of chaos!

Tiamat opened up its jaws

Around the Marduk

And then it shot an arrow

Down his throat into his belly

And split its heart in two.

What does that mean?

It split its heart in two!

Shoot it in the mouth.

Oh, hell,

Looks like a mouth to me.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

You did it!

Dad!

We made it!

We made it!

Daddy!

Angel!

I'm so glad

You guys are okay.

Told you I wasn't crazy.

Well, not about this.

You did it, son.

We did it.

Oh, dad.

So?

So?

You want to hang out

In ascension for a little while?

Yeah, it was good

To see you again.

Let's get out of here.
