Hi, Jens speaking.

What?

This is from the Spanish authorities?

Right. Okay. I get it.

Yes.

No, it's fine. Yes, I'll do that.

Yes. See you there.

Hi, Karin.

You have to help me call

everyone in the department and tell them to hurry to work.

Yes, now.

Good.

Okay. See you there.

What's happening?

As you know…

It's not over in La Palma.

…there has been an eruption in La Palma.

First, a gas emission that killed several tourists.

Then large amounts of ash caused a plane to crash.

This may be just the beginning.

Scientists on the island say

that the eruptions have destabilized the mountain.

There's a risk that a large landslide will end up in the ocean

and may, in the worst case, cause a several-hundred-meter-high tsunami.

The archipelago is in danger of being destroyed.

If so, this will be the biggest natural disaster

humanity has faced.

A hundred million lives are at risk.

Spanish authorities don't know when the landslide might occur.

It could take days.

But if it develops

into a full-scale lava eruption,

it could take hours.

To avoid panic and chaos,

it is extremely important that everything I'm telling you…

EVACUATION OF NORWEGIANS

…remains confidential.

No.

Erik, what the fuck are you doing here? I told you to leave.

Yes.

I won't leave without you.

You've been reported for violence against a police officer.

A lawyer will come later, then you can go.

Was it true?

What you said about

a tsunami coming.

We won't be here when it comes.

We'll find a boat and get off the island. I promise.

Look at me, Erik.

It's my fault you're here.

I fucked up everything.

No. You didn't.

I should have died that day, not Mom and Dad.

Stop. Don't talk like that.

Look at me, Erik.

You're all I've got.

Let's sleep a bit more.

Tobias, should we see if we're allowed to swim again?

Maybe you want to sit down?

Fredrik told me you met someone here.

What's her name?

It's okay. I'm only asking about her name.

Everyone calls her Charlie.

But, Mom, it's not like…

It's not…

It's fine.

Yeah.

How long have you felt like this?

Maybe always?

I just…

I've become so used to being

invisible.

And then

suddenly, I'm supposed to be the lesbian. And then…

Can we wait a bit?

Yes.

You're the world's most amazing Sara,

and I am so proud of you.

And you should do what feels right.

You're free to do that. Why are you crying?

Being in love is like that. It's totally crazy.

Honey.

Okay, first one in.

Tell me if you see her. I want to say hi.

Yes.

Nice!

Are you okay?

No! Poseidon!

It's time for some shade soon.

-No! -Yes!

No!

-You really miss us, I see. -Jennifer, listen.

Don't interrupt. There may be a tsunami coming.

Large enough to destroy the island. You have to leave.

There will be chaos when the authorities raise the alarm.

The La Palma airport is still closed, so you have to take a plane from Tenerife.

What are you talking about? A tsunami?

How can you be sure?

The authorities there think so, so do as I say.

La Palma is not a priority.

The large ferries have been redirected to larger islands.

There's one smaller ferry.

It leaves in 20 minutes.

You have to be on board. Do you understand?

-It's a matter of life and death. -Twenty minutes?

Don't tell anyone. It will create chaos.

Promise me that you're leaving now.

Jennifer, say it.

-Yes, we're leaving now. -Good.

Just some toiletries, phones, underwear…

We're parked ten minutes away. That won't work. Let's take a taxi.

-Why are we leaving? -Are you done?

Is it something dangerous?

Finish packing. Listen to your mom.

Trust us. It's just in case.

-In case of what? -Please.

Hey, you. Just sit down. There.

Hey. We're going on a trip.

We're going to take a boat out to sea.

You have a watch, so keep track of the time.

-How long left now, Dad? -Sixteen minutes now.

Sixteen minutes. Let's set that on a timer.

Very good!

Dad! Mom!

What about Charlie?

I'll go with you to get Charlie. You get us a taxi.

Stay with Dad so he keeps track of time.

-Can we go? -Yes, let's go. Call her.

-Yes! Come on. -Great. Okay.

There, Tobias. Ready?

Let's go.

There. Good.

-Where is she staying? -Here.

Hello? Charlie?

Charlie?

Fuck!

-No swearing. -No, sorry.

-Seven minutes left. -Yes.

-Charlie! -She's not here. Please text her.

Jens can help her, but we have to go!

Mom, no! What's happening?

There's a tsunami coming!

We have to leave! Come!

We couldn't find her.

What about the taxi?

Come here. Come.

-Come on. -Fredrik!

Get in!

Have you lost it?

In.

-Six and a half minutes left. -Good, Tobias.

-Drive! -Drive, Dad!

How much time is left, Tobias?

Thirty seconds.

Fuck, get them on the ferry! No!

Oh my God!

Get them on the ferry!

-Get them on the ferry! -Come, Tobias. Let's go.

Listen! Please!

Get lost!

-Get lost! -Go away!

Dad!

My battery is dead. Got something?

Here.

Thanks.

MISSED CALL FROM SARA

Charlie? Hello?

You have to go to Tenerife and get on a plane as soon as possible.

Are you kidding? What's this about?

The island is going to be evacuated.

You have to get on a ferry.

Or rent a boat as soon as possible, okay?

What are you talking about?

Char…

This is Álvaro Pérez from La Laguna Geological Institute.

I was told to call if there was any news.

There is.

An eruption is coming, and the mountain is destabilizing.

What does that mean?

It means we can't wait nine more hours!

The landslide will create a tsunami.

An evacuation warning must be issued immediately.

You have to get me out of here. Erik, please talk to her now!

Central to patrol car one. Over.

Okay.

Okay, everyone.

We heard from the Spanish authorities. They have issued an evacuation.

That means a lot of phone calls.

From now on, we'll only take calls from affected countries.

Tell them where to go to evacuate.

If family members call, hang up. No time for that.

We have to leave before the mountain collapses.

-I'm trying. -There are boats down there. Come.

Wait!

If you don't pay…

Yes, Tenerife. Gracias.

Excuse me.

Come!

There's no space.

Pay.

We made it.

Yeah.

I need to know how to proceed. Over.

There's no more room. Sorry.

It's full.

There isn't room for more people. Sorry.

Sorry, there's no more room.

What the fuck are you doing?

I can't do this.

You can't give up your seat…

I can't do this. It's…

Fredrik! Don't…

I…

I'll find something else.

Hi, friend.

Nobody knows when the mountainside will slide into the ocean

and cause a giant tsunami.

The tsunami will affect millions of people.

Several thousand Norwegians…

The Canary Islands will be hit hard if people panic.

Spanish authorities have set up an air bridge to the mainland

and are trying to get as many as possible off the island.

Right. But where in Portugal are you?

Okay, good. One moment.

Can you ask what the guy in the ski outfit is doing here?

-Yes. -You're far enough inland, so you're safe.

Yes, but stay indoors.

-What are you doing here? -The receptionist sent me over.

I'm Hugo Berg. I'm a researcher.

I've done numerical calculations of tsunami waves.

I was watching the news and wondered if I could help.

Actually, my wife wanted me to ask.

Hi, Sara. Are you on the ferry?

Yes.

But Fredrik was left behind.

He missed the ferry, but he's trying to find a boat.

Mom is devastated.

What happens if we don't get on a plane?

I'll find a solution, Sara.

I promise.

Calculate the wave size and speed

to see if some places are geologically safer than others.

And I have written…

It's chaos here. Can I call you back?

I have three ministers waiting.

-What do we know about the evacuation? -Gran Canaria and Tenerife come first.

An air bridge has been established, but few will get out.

Can we do something?

December is peak season in the Canary Islands.

There are too many people.

My sister's husband is there.

My sister is on a ferry to Tenerife with two children.

You talked to them?

It's my sister. What should I have done?

You've leaked classified information.

The receptionist sent up a wave researcher who has offered his services.

A wave researcher?

He says he can calculate where and how the wave will hit.

No time for that.

I get that this is hard for you, but what if it gets out

that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called their own while thousands die?

It's Fredrik!

Hi. Where are you?

-Hi. -Where are you?

I'm still on La Palma.

Can you get on a boat?

It's chaos here now, but…

How are Sara and Tobias?

They're fine.

Take good care of them.

No matter what happens.

What do you mean?

I love you, Jennifer.

Hey, don't talk like that.

You were right.

Right about what?

Everything. I should have done things differently.

Stop that. Get yourself on a boat.

Do you hear me?

Hello? Fredrik?

I…

What did he say?

He's still there.

I think he said goodbye.

That's not certain, Mom.

Where is the wave researcher?

What did you say?

Where did the wave researcher go?

I sent him home.

Excuse me.

Hi. I'm Jens Uvdal. I'm in charge of operations.

-Hugo Berg. -You're a wave researcher?

No. I've written about numeric calculations of tsunami waves.

-Yes, but-- -Right?

Can you find out if some places are safer than others?

I can try.

Come with me.

I can't let them out without talking to a lawyer.

I could lose my job. Over.

The lava is coming this way. Some of the houses further up are on fire.

We need to get out.

Andrea, we've got a boat, and they're waiting.

-We have to go. -I can't. There are people here.

Forget your job! It's going to hell!

We have to go!

Let's go!

There. It'll go faster if you relax.

It's one of the small ones. I saw it.

MUNICIPAL POLICE

We must get to the dock.

-Are you Norwegians? -What?

There's no point in going there. All the boats are taken.

It's chaos there. It's too late.

We have to get off the island!

-We have to leave. -I know of a boat.

On a beach. I used it for diving.

Maybe it's still there.

Where?

Come with me.

Okay, what can you do?

I use models to calculate how the wave will hit.

Then I look for places the wave won't hit as hard

or won't reach due to geographical obstacles.

-Like coves, bays, or-- -The Canary Islands have many mountains.

Why can't we evacuate everyone to higher ground?

The gas is just as dangerous as lava in an eruption like that.

The wind blows gases toward the other islands.

Even a few hundred meters up would still be dangerous.

That wouldn't be enough if large landslides hit the ocean.

I'm sure I don't have to ask you to work fast.

This is a matter of hours.

Yes. Or minutes.

Yes.

Fucking amazing, Erik!

Okay, pull it out.

Come on!

Come on!

I got a boat. Where are you?

Marie, get in the boat now!

Get in.

Go past the cliffs.

Erik, what are you doing?

It will be okay, you hear me? It's nothing.

-Sorry. -Stop that.

Hello? Talk to me.

Erik, what the fuck are you doing?

Marie…

I should have listened.

We have to go!

-No! Erik! -We have to go!

We have to go!

Get in the boat!

No!

Go!
