Tell me again why we're sitting on
top of this giant rock called Trollsvatn.

Why couldn't I get
the job in Hawaii?

At least there's action there.

This volcano's been
dormant for how long?

Give it a rest, Jeff.

All you two do is argue.

There's nothing better
to do on this mountain.

It keeps me from
yawning to death.

Well, you could save your
energy and try not to talk.

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Oh, yeah.

So would I.

Fine.

This whole mountain
is gonna blow.

Ryan and Fred, they're still
up at the top collecting samples.

Get them on the radio, now!

We got to clear out!

Ryan, this is Basecamp.

Copy.

Ryan, this is Basecamp.

Get down here, now!

Nothing.

These things were
working earlier.

You can't go up there.

Lisa's coming with me.

You won't make it.

I'm not leaving them.

Call the helicopter evac team
and then pack up all our equipment.

We'll be back
before you're finished.

Hurry.

Iceland Transport.

Copy.

Iceland Transport.

Requesting emergency evac.

Copy.

This is Iceland Transport.

Repeat request.

This is US Geo Survey
Team Trollsbotten.

Requesting immediate transport.

Copy.

On our way.

ETA.

Five minutes.

Emergency evac gives you two
minutes load time, then we're out of there.

Copy that, Iceland Transport.

We'll be ready.

Ryan!

Let's pack it up!

I can't get through...

Jeff.

Jeff!

Where's the evac team?

The copter's on its way.

Get down here, now!

Let's get out of here!

Just like that.

In the span of a heartbeat.

We see the Earth go from
her most serene and bucolic...

to her most violent
and destructive.

Our planet was forged out of this
primordial struggle of the elements.

Earth, air, fire and water.

And so, volcanic activity
today, while less frequent...

tells us that the
battle continues.

Mr. Taylor, welcome back.

Welcome back.

These images were
recorded in Hualalai in 2000.

They are spectacular.

Beautiful.

But proof, at the
same time, of how...

unpredictable and
unmerciful nature can be.

All of these events remind us
that our survival as a species...

is dependent upon our ability
to understand and adapt...

to the planet's
ongoing evolution.

Hence, volcanology...

despite Mr. Taylor's earlier
assertion to the contrary...

has nothing to do with Mr. Spock
or the Starship Enterprise.

But rather, is the study of
the Earth's blood pressure.

Its life force carries us
from our distant past...

right up to the present...

and tells us much
about our future.

I know I went over, but I
did want to give you guys...

a sneak preview of what you have
to look forward to next semester.

Remember to put your term
papers on the desk on your way out.

As always, I look forward to being
shocked and awed by your brilliance.

Dr. Shepherd?

Sorry, do you have a sec?

As of two minutes ago, I've got
a whole week's worth of them.

What can I do for you, miss?

Brianna Chapman.

I was in your thermodynamics
lab last semester.

You're one of my grad students?

I was, but then I...

sort of shifted gears.

Is that so?

To what?

Geochemistry, actually.

Well, glad to hear it.

We can use all the help
we can get in that field.

That is exactly who
I wanted to talk to.

I heard about your expedition that
you're taking to Iceland over the break.

I don't suppose you heard about
that trip from my illustrious TA, did you?

Christopher?

Did he tell you about me?

No, but, uh, you're
definitely his type.

I want to come with you.

Sorry, I've already filled my
quota of student volunteers.

Oh, well, I happen to know that
your chemist dropped out last minute.

Do me a favor.

When you see your friend Christopher,
tell him I'm going to wring his neck.

I can do this job.

It's not going to be some clean,
controlled environment, you know?

We're going to be taking samples,
doing field analysis on the fly.

And I'm not afraid
to get my hands dirty.

And I've spent
time at volcanoes.

My family had a reunion in Hawaii last
year, and I spent the whole entire time at

Mauna Kea, and my aunt Grace
was not very happy about that.

I'm sorry, I never
get a pass at trustees.

Oh, but I'm not looking for
recommendation or credit.

I just really want to get some
more field experience under my belt.

Nobody can fault you
for a lack of enthusiasm.

Look, if I were to agree, there
would have to be conditions.

Such as?

No recommendations or credit.

I'd expect your
very best at all times.

You'd have to buy
your own plane ticket.

Okay, you win.

Thank you!

Oh, you will not regret this.

I could hug you right now.

And when I publish my first book,
you are so getting a shout-out in the

forward.

Can I give you a tip?

Don't hug you?

Bring warm clothes,
because it's very cold.

And be on time, because we're
leaving first thing in the morning.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Thank you.

I'm telling you,
this girl's amazing.

She's smart, she's
funny, she's cool.

She's a hottie mcnaughtie.

What?

That's what you said.

You know, by the way, why don't you try
consulting with me next time before using

your job as an
excuse to pick up girls?

That's unfair.

I honestly thought that she'd be
a valuable member of the team.

Meaning what?

She already shot you down once?

Well, I kinda had a thing for her,
and then I kinda had a thing for her

roommate.

It's complicated.

Yeah, with you it usually is.

But you're not upset, right?

No, no.

I do have a few things I'd like you
to take a look at during the break.

Tough but fair.

I'm gonna go check
in with the pilot.

Good to see you're still doing your part
in putting the T&A back in being a T.A.

Look, I know you're upset about our little
boys' club getting busted up, but I'm

telling you, even
you will like this girl.

She's really smart.

Well, given that she's apparently
managed to resist, you're doing your part.

She's got some serious charms.

I'd rather like her already.

Damn, Phil.

You weren't kidding.

No, Phil.

I wasn't.

Hi.

Jacque?

Kai?

This is Brianna.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Kai.

Bri.

Can I give you a hand with that?

Sure.

This way.

Okay.

No way she goes to Raven.

Believe me, I'd have noticed.

Maybe if you spent more time outside and
less time in your room pirating porn DVDs.

Hey, bro.

That's cool ain't cheap.

Guy's gotta make a living.

All right.

We're all here.

Let's get the show on the road.

So I don't understand.

Why Iceland?

Yeah, man.

All I know about Iceland
is that it's all, well, ice.

It's Greenland,
Phil, you jackass.

We're going to Iceland because it's
been estimated that a third of all the lava

that's ever flowed upon the
Earth has come from there.

And there was a team of geologists
exploring a crater there that have gone

missing.

Well, that sounds more like a job for
the Icelandic Search and Rescue, Phil.

Except seismic reports show that
apparently there was a sudden eruption

when they disappeared.

And the professor has a theory that the
volcano that we're visiting is actually a

few million years older
than the experts say it is.

The government gave
him a grant to prove it.

So what if it proved it?

It's not like we went
in a car or something.

Science is about the
search for truth, not glory.

I didn't say they had to name
a national holiday after my ass.

All I'm saying is if I'm going to be
spending my break freezing my butt off,

I'm going to have to do it.

I don't want to be surfing the S-end of
nowhere instead of living it up in Miami

or Kabul.

I at least want to see
some real action, you know?

Well, it is the most volcanically
active country on the planet.

Maybe you'll get your chance.

I thought I read somewhere that Grimsvotn
hasn't blown its top in like 700 years.

She hasn't?

And we are a go for
geothermal and seismic, Phil.

Looks like she's
sleeping like a baby.

Copy that, Phil.

Dr. Shepherd, this is amazing!

Dr. Shepherd, this is amazing!

We're in another
world or something!

You and Jules Verne voyaged
to the center of the Earth.

This was their point of origin.

You couldn't ask for a more pure,
active example of Earth's ongoing

evolution.

And on that note, should
we get back to work?

Unless, of course, any of you fancy
spending the entire afternoon basking in

the stench of rotten eggs.

All right, Kai, you want
to hold down the fort?

We're going to be
taking some samples.

Yeah, and try not
to eat all the food.

Yeah, copy that.

So let me ask you something.

What is the deal with you
and Kai and the Phil-Phil thing?

It's just a thing.

Oh, is it like a
girl thing, or...

you just haven't been in a
group long enough, right?

Easy, Ms. Insecurity.

Now, uh, I dated this
PT major last year.

And for some weird
reason, she didn't like Kai.

So...

whenever he called the
apartment, he called himself Phil.

So then I started calling him Phil all the
time, and he started calling me Phil all

the time.

And I just sort of stuck.

Jacques.

Check it out.

Looks like an ammonite.

Which would place this site at the
Mesozoic, at least, if not the Devonian,

which means...

Bravo, Professor.

So what is the deal
with Dr. Shepard?

What do you mean?

I don't know.

He's just kind of...

He's married.

Oh, he's married?

Separated.

I guess she got tired of chasing him
into smoldering holes in the ground.

That definitely
felt like a tremor.

Kai, talk to me.

Was that us?

No, I got a spike, but I don't
know where it came from.

Wake Mr. George.

The sensor's off.

There's definitely
some activity going on.

What happened to the 700 years?

I don't know.

I guess there's
hope for Jacques yet.

Kai, I can't get it.

Kai, contact the chopper.

I know it's the same thing that got up,
but I want to wait around and find out.

CJ, freeze!

Way ahead of you, Doc.

Not again.

Mayday, mayday.

This is Exodus Expedition.

Go ahead, Exodus.

What is your emergency?

The volcano's become active.

We need immediate extraction.

Do you copy?

Copy, Exodus.

Emergency evac is on its way.

Wait a minute, sir.

You gotta know
when to walk away.

Let's go!

It isn't worth it.

Now come on, move!

I can get it!

Let's go!

I can get it!

Team

Exodus.

Team Exodus, this
is Iceland Transport.

Do you copy?

Copy, Iceland Transport.

Rescue chopper is en route.

ETA, five minutes.

Copy that, Iceland Transport.

Kai, the ETA on that chopper
is getting kind of hot down here.

Guys say we're looking
at another five minutes.

Wind's been picking up big time.

Keep going, we're
right behind you!

Come on, let's go!

The heat waves are
melting the glacier sand.

That means...

If it collapses, you and I are a permanent
part of the landscape, so keep climbing.

We'll never make it.

Yes, we will.

Now come on!

Come on, let's go!

Come on, Jock, it's
just a little further.

Come on.

We're coming.

We're coming.

We're coming.

We're coming.

We've got to get out of here!

There's two more
people down there!

If we don't get off this rock
now, we'll never make it out alive!

All right, guys, let's go!

We can do it.

That's it.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Let's just show the
world what we're made of.

You're the one
looking for some action.

Might I suggest that the next time you
go inside the volcano, I'll stay at the top

with the equipment.

Hey, man, if it had been my fat ass
down in that crater, it would have been a

deep-fried pork crime right now.

We should be so lucky.

I've never seen
anything like it!

Nobody ever has.

And the fact that it went off today
definitely supports Balayan's exodus

theory.

Volcanic activity has subsided for now,
and choked with smoke and ash and fallout

has been experienced
as far away as Sweden.

With the death toll now at an estimated
3,400, this eruption in Iceland is being

called the worst volcano-related disaster
since the eruption of Mount Pinatubu in

1991.

Meanwhile, scientists believe they
have traced the source of the activity,

centered mainly on Iceland's western
peninsula, to the apparent accidental

rupturing of several natural gas vents
by an offshore drilling operation in the

North Atlantic late last week.

This is the first
time Yes, she is.

Is that your wife?

For now.

Sorry, Christopher told me.

Is there anything
he hasn't told you?

Do you want to talk about it?

About what?

My TA's astounding ability to share the
intimate details of my personal life with

others?

No.

I meant your wife.

He told me that you
guys are separated.

I don't know,
maybe I could help.

Yeah.

You doubt it.

Well, have you tried
calling and apologizing?

I did actually try a couple of times,
but I just couldn't get past listening to

her voice on the
answering machine part.

So try again?

Yeah.

No, I know.

You're right.

Hey, can I ask you something?

Sure.

Two dormant volcanoes, I mean,
completely dormant, erupt violently within

days of each other.

Coincidence?

Yeah, I didn't think so either.

Hey,

Melanie, is he here?

He's inside.

Good to see you.

Good to see you.

How are you?

Good.

How's Natalie?

She's fine.

Yes, she's fine.

I hear she's fine.

Actually, you'd have to
call and ask her yourself.

Maybe then she'd
pick up the phone.

It's like I told you, you can't spend
the rest of your life going down in those

holes without
screwing everything up.

You're one to talk.

I don't exactly see
you slowing down.

I lost some mobility.

You lost the marriage.

Big difference.

Some would argue that marriage is a
loss of mobility, but I'm not saying that.

Anyway, how are things at USGS?

Is Kincaid still a jerk?

Yeah.

He was a jerk when you
two were my students.

And he was a bigger jerk when
I told him where he could stop it.

So, yeah, he's still a jerk.

You what?

I quit.

Are you kidding me?

You remember
what that place is like.

You get to be my age, you
run out of patience for politics.

It's a young man's game now.

And I could never get used to
the idea that he's now my boss.

Well, I had no idea.

When did all this happen?

Four months ago.

And you would have known if you'd
pick up the damn phone once in a while.

Me?

You know, his phone
was disconnected.

Oh, that?

Yeah, that.

What's with the sheets?

Are you going somewhere?

Yeah, we're flying to
Hangzhou on Wednesday.

Wednesday, yes.

Wednesday.

When are you
going to stay a while?

As long as necessary.

Hmm.

Well, with that in
mind, take a look at this.

Quite a mess, though, I hear.

It is.

I was there.

And the word is you took
along a team of ragrats.

They're great scientists, Oscar.

I'm sure they are.

You always could pick them.

What is this?

You tell me.

Cataigua, Ecuador.

And 48 hours later, five near-simultaneous
eruptions in Iceland, four of which hadn't

made a peep in years.

It's everything you've
always talked about.

You were right about Exodus,
and this is the start of it.

No, it's not.

What do you mean, no, it's not?

If these aren't the initial indications of
Exodus, I'd love to know what the hell it

is.

The first eruption happened here,
five weeks ago, off the coast of Spain.

Then here, two days later.

Rarotonga, the South Pacific.

Then nothing.

Nothing for weeks.

To the point where I began to think that
everyone else was right, and I was just

grabbing at straws.

Then earthquakes.

Here, here, and here.

Of course, I hadn't counted on Iceland
until sometime next week, and Cataigua was

a surprise.

So?

So this cannot be the start of Exodus,
because Exodus already started.

You gotta do something with it.

Just take it to Kincaid.

Kincaid said the USGS doesn't have the
time or the resources to prove some old

crackpot hypothesis.

I'm done trying to prove anything
to people who don't want to listen.

Isn't that what you're
going to Mount Fuji for?

To get proof?

Unless you're secretly hoping that
the myth of the Fountain of Youth isn't a

myth.

You already said it, Peter.

This was my life's
work and no one cares.

You went to hell with Kincaid.

Go over his head.

Take it to the hill.

It's the same game everywhere.

You of all people
should know that.

I understand if you don't want to
do it, but at least give me a shot.

You know what's at stake here.

Take it.

Take all of it.

You and I both know
where I'm going and why.

I don't want to end my
life in some hospital room.

I'm going back
to the front line.

I'm going back
to the front line.

Goodbye, Peter.

CJ, I need you to look
up a number for me.

Steven Dougherty at the Bureau
of Disaster Relief and Awareness.

Call me back as soon as you can.

Dr.

Shepherd, are you saying that you can
accurately predict where and when these

eruptions will occur?

Given the proper resources, yes.

Right now, all we're
looking at are generalities.

Probabilities.

What some may see as a coincidence,
I think is the Earth trying to tell us

something.

And in my experience, when that happens,
it's usually a good idea to listen.

My apologies, gentlemen.

Peter, I believe you know
William Kincaid from the U.S.

Geological Survey.

Our paths have crossed, yes.

Would you like me to recap?

Thanks, but I'm sure
I'll be able to catch up.

Please, continue.

Basically, we're seeing a massive
increase in activity on a worldwide scale.

Now, I don't believe that these are a
succession of random volcanic events.

I think they're part of a pattern,
which, if ignored, could have serious

consequences to the
future of life on this planet.

Peter, tell me you're not here
to sell us this Exodus crap again.

What's Exodus?

It's a half-baked theory first put forth
by Dr. Shepherd's mentor, Oscar Lillian.

Yeah, it's anything
but half-baked.

What Dr. Shepherd is suggesting runs
contrary to theories the global scientific

community has unanimously
subscribed to for nearly half a century.

Volcanoes don't just erupt.

There are warning signs weeks,
sometimes months in advance.

The global scientific community
unanimously subscribed to the Flat Earth

theory, too.

I understand that this sounds far-fetched,
but in order to understand Exodus,

you have to see
the bigger picture.

Something has happened at the
Earth's core causing it to expand.

The tremendous pressure that has been
displaced is now working its way through

the Earth, manifesting
itself in these areas.

Accelerated eruptions.

The traditional warning
signs no longer apply.

Not here, not to this.

And what exactly is this something
that has caused the core's expansion?

Or does your theory
not cover that?

It could be any number
of different things.

What is causing the
pattern is beside the point.

Look, we can
figure that out later.

Right now we need to
figure out how to stop it.

Dr. Shepherd, I'm afraid I
just don't see the emergency.

How else can I put it?

There are 1,500 volcanoes
on the surface of the Earth.

Some of them are active
and some of them are dormant.

Over 150 of them are
located in North America alone.

If they erupt, and I think they will, we
are looking at cataclysmic devastation.

What's your worst case scenario?

Gentlemen, I think it's my duty to point
out that none of Dr. Shepherd's so-called

theory has yet to be proven.

Dr. Kincaid.

He could be completely wrong.

Please allow Dr. Shepherd
to answer the question.

Worst case scenario?

The extinction of everything
living on the planet?

How long do we have?

Months.

Thank you, Dr. Shepherd.

I believe I've heard enough.

I want you and your team to go over
his data and see if there's anything to it.

If there is, come up with
a list of possible solutions.

I'd be glad to.

Thank you, gentlemen.

You're an alarmist, Peter.

Just like the old man.

Still, that was quite a
presentation you made back there.

The extinction of every
living thing on this planet.

Woo!

Compelling.

Oscar Verlian
write that for you?

You're not even going to
review my data, are you?

Oh, no, I'll review it.

I'll review it very carefully and prove
that your little theory is complete crap.

And the amazing thing here is that
by doing that, I'll be doing you a favor.

How's that?

Have you forgotten what tends to
happen whenever you start jumping a gun?

Tengurahua, Sagurajima...

I was doing my job.

If those volcanoes had erupted,
tens of thousands of people would have

died.

Yes, and instead,
millions of dollars were lost.

And those same people were placed in
a state of fear and panic for no reason.

I guess I'm missing your point.

My point is you have a
long history of being wrong.

I'd imagine by now
you'd be quite used to it.

There she is.

Just in time.

Morning, Harv.

Here you go.

There's a couple of Danish
in here with your name on it.

Oh, Natalie, you
know I shouldn't.

Yeah, I know you will.

I don't care what Lorraine says.

I like a man with a few
extra pounds on him.

Hey, you missed all the
excitement around here this morning.

It seems like old Faye will decide
that she didn't like your name anymore.

What do you mean?

Not so much as a burp
since yesterday afternoon.

So what are they gonna do?

You know a word?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Guess the government's decided to sit
around with their thumbs up their butts.

They'll all kneel deep in lava
before they decide to do something.

A little more
eloquent explanation.

Thank you, Kai.

The government wants proof.

I guess we have
to get it for them.

Look.

As you guys all know, Oscar Valien
is the mind behind this theory, right?

Well guess what?

He thinks Mount Fuji's gonna
erupt within the next three weeks.

I want you and Kanogi
to go back to Tokyo.

Kanogi, there's a car
waiting for you outside.

Yes, but I'm not
finished with my work.

Just go.

Yes, ma'am.

I said both of you.

Oscar.

You're a young woman and you
have your entire life ahead of you.

You've been my entire
life for twelve years.

I'm not going to leave you now.

Melanie.

Don't say anything.

I'm staying.

And to that end, he's gone off
to Honshu to gather data directly.

In the meantime, I'll
be going to Ecuador.

If our theory is correct, then these
recent volcanic events are like dominoes

in a long chain, each linked to a tectonic
plate through a series of interconnecting

fault lines.

Our job would then be to ascertain
not only why all of this is happening,

but which faults are being affected and
which antennas are likely to go off next.

I'm not going to lie to you.

This is going to be dangerous.

So if any of you have any reservations,
especially after what happened in Iceland,

believe me, I'll understand.

It's not even an issue.

Count me in.

Me too.

Well, seeing as it's the only chance we've
got at proving any of this, we don't have

much of a choice, do we?

Uh, yeah.

If we're going to be working with
you, does that mean we're exempt from

everything else?

Because I've got this major
biochem paper due next Tuesday.

What?

I'm just asking.

But I'm totally in.

Good.

Hi.

Sorry, I guess you're out.

Or else you're standing there listening to
this, waiting for me to hang up so you can

hit the lead.

Which I can only assume is what
you've done the last three times.

Hey.

Hey.

You answered.

Right.

Uh, shouldn't you be climbing to
some smoking hole in the ground?

Okay.

I forgot it.

I guess this is a bad idea.

I shouldn't have called.

Well, what did you expect
this to be like, Peter?

Oh, I don't know.

I guess civil would have
been too much to hope for.

Fine.

Let's start over.

How are you?

I've been better.

Why?

What's the matter?

I'm gonna run in
with Bill Kincaid today.

Hmm.

Kincaid.

How's he?

Slimy as ever, but look, I
didn't call to talk about him.

Then why did you call?

To hear your voice.

To see how you're doing.

Well, this is a little
out of character, Peter.

Are you sure that's the reason?

Yeah.

Why?

So...

How you doing?

How's life at Yellowstone?

Well, apparently Mother Nature's decided
to make my life a living hell with fire

season in the middle of winter,
but other than that, everything's fine.

Peter, you sound weird.

Are you sure you're okay?

What?

Yes.

Just worrying about you.

Listen, I should
really get going.

They have me supervising the Sunrise
Trail walk three times a week, so...

Well, it was great
talking to you.

Nice to hear you finally say something
other than, Hello, this is Natalie.

Please leave a
message after the beep.

Take care of yourself, Peter.

You too.

Good night.

Reach

the voicemail box, Beth.

That's Peter Shepard.

Peter,

I just want to give
you your last message.

It's good to be on
the front line again.

Oscar, we gotta go.

No.

Let's go, Oscar.

It's too late.

No.

It's good to be on the...

Try this instead.

Sorry about your friend.

Maybe he wasn't there.

Maybe he got out.

No.

He was there.

He knew what was gonna happen.

It's what he wanted.

To die?

He didn't have
anything left to give.

He sacrificed everything.

Family.

Career.

For a theory that nobody
would pay any attention to.

But they're paying
attention now.

If it's not too late.

Is that your wedding ring?

Symbolic, huh?

Hanging in limbo.

It's an interesting concept.

Wedding ring purgatory.

I wanted to apologize for what I
said the other day about your marriage.

It was none of my business.

There's this really serious genetic
condition in my family called foot and

mouth disease.

You oughta get that looked at.

Sorry.

I was just trying to help.

It's not that I
don't appreciate it.

It's just that...

I don't know if my failed marriage
is really appropriate student-teacher

conversation.

Well, technically, we're not really
supposed to be drinking beers together,

either.

But then again, I'm not your student
this semester, so maybe we're in the clear.

Can I ask you what happened?

Basically, I spent the first two years
of our relationship chasing after her.

And then I spent the first three years
of our marriage chasing after volcanoes

dragging her with me.

It was all...

pretty much about my world.

And I guess she got fed up with that,
took off to go find a life of her own.

I screwed up.

You really want her back.

Nothing makes very much sense without her,
but I haven't figured out how to fix it.

Well, like I said before,
you can try apologizing.

I have a hard time
admitting when I'm wrong.

Although, as someone pointed out to
me recently, I should be used to it by now.

You just admitted it to me.

I don't know.

Maybe if you give it some time and you
admit it to her, you guys can have another

chance.

Maybe.

But can I give you a tip?

Don't hug you?

No.

The sudden eruption of Mount Fuji
has not only destroyed much of the island,

but has triggered several tsunamis,
the biggest in this part of the world

since 2004, placing an estimated
60% of the coast of China underwater.

The death toll is likely to be
in the hundreds of thousands.

And breaking news from Africa.

The first major eruption of Mount
Kilimanjaro since the last ice age.

Many fear the danger from these eruptions
may be compounded by storm clouds creating

a highly concentrated
form of acid rain.

He never said
anything about Africa.

And he told us Fuji wouldn't
go off for another month.

But he did say it would erupt.

He's grabbing at straws.

Well, maybe you should consider
grabbing a handful or two for yourself.

There's definitely some major rocking and
rolling going on down in the lithosphere,

but it ain't from this site.

He's right.

It looks like the epicenter's maybe a
mile, mile and a half northwest of here.

That would place us somewhere
in the vicinity of this area here.

According to this, there appears to
be a series of mines, copper mostly.

Let's do it.

What is it?

It says, this site is closed until further
notice per order of the Atacona Mining

Company.

Well, it works for me.

I guess we're leaving then.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

What did you say to him?

I said we're scientists
that the company sent us.

For heaven's sake, tell
him we're not trespassing!

Well, we sort of are, dude.

Ask him what happened.

He said that there were some men working
at the mine a few weeks ago when the earth

began to bleed like fire.

Yeah, worse than fire.

It was like it was poison.

Oh, we're not going in.

Go ahead and set up, guy.

Hell, stay close.

So this is what hell is like.

Guys, this is definitely it.

I'm sure hot spots all
over the place down here.

Well, which way do we go?

I'm not sure.

The map doesn't seem to
show this particular juncture.

Heat's definitely
stronger in this direction.

Anyone else feel like
these walls are closing in?

Definitely getting
tighter in here.

It's also getting hotter.

This is it.

Wow, it's a magma chamber.

Looks like it's
rising pretty fast.

Yeah, a little too fast.

Let's get some rock and vapor
samples and then get the hell out of here.

That's the best idea
I've heard all day.

Do you think the radiation's
coming from the magma?

We won't know until they run the core
samples, but the levels are extremely

high.

It's no wonder they
closed this place down.

Uh, guys?

Just as an FYI, I'm starting to pick
up some major burps on the seismal.

Copy that, guy.

Bree and I are already
making our way back to you.

Jock and CJ are wrapping it up.

Wait a moment, CJ.

What is it now?

You know, I'm not so
certain it's time to go.

Our tunnel's
supposed to be here.

Our location is
nowhere to be found.

This just doesn't make sense.

According to this map, this
tunnel simply does not exist.

Okay, Magellan, how do you explain
the fact that we're standing in it?

I can't explain it.

Unless...

Unless what?

Well, I'm just beginning to wonder
if this isn't a tunnel, but rather a...

This isn't a tunnel!

It's a lava tube!

Where's Zech?

He's gone!

He didn't make it, guy!

Doctor said that the burns are
mainly superficial, except for on his leg.

They're gonna have to set it before
we're skin grafted, but he's gonna be okay.

You can't blame yourself for
what happened down there.

Jock and CJ knew the risks.

We all did.

Point is, I never should have put
anybody at risk in the first place.

But that's the job.

Right?

Look, Kai is upstairs right now
analyzing the samples we got.

We have a better handle on where and how
magma flow is affecting the fault network.

He didn't die for nothing.

None of this is for nothing.

Oh my god.

Much of the historic city of Rome
lies in ruins following the simultaneous

reawakenings of Mount
Etna and Vesuvius.

The Pope has proclaimed that he
believes this global devastation may be the

beginning of the end of days.

Well, it's all happening
just like you said it would.

They wouldn't listen.

Yeah.

Matter of time.

Wait, where is this from?

Crater of San Sebastian.

That's from down in the mine.

Numbers threw
me off the first two.

I mean, mad viscosity
and crystallization levels.

I ran the test twice.

They're for real.

What's with this?

Trace levels of radioactive
material 43.7, 48.4?

Those two?

Whole chemical compositions of
both samples were out of whack.

I mean, it looks more like...

Like it would if it was taken
directly from the Earth's core.

There's something else.

What do we know at the USGS?

Why?

What's happened?

When I went online to compare all
this stuff to our databases from Raven,

I had problems
getting into the server.

It looked like someone
had hacked into our system.

I did some backhacking and they
got copies of everything we had.

I don't know what happened.

While I can understand how you might feel
somewhat angered by whatever injustice you

may feel has occurred...

You're damn right I'm angry.

You had no authority to do this.

I assure you it was done
for the common good.

Look, there's still time.

If you just listen to
me, I can help you.

Your help will no
longer be necessary.

My people have compiled everything
into a workable theory which we will be

presenting in
Washington tomorrow.

So that's it.

Last week you didn't
believe in Exodus.

Now you're stealing it.

Goodbye, Doctor.

So now what?

Listen, Doctor
Shepard and Kai...

need you more
than I do at this point.

Okay?

I know, I just...

I'll be fine.

Trust me.

Break.

We gotta go now.

Break.

It's that plane.

Okay.

Make sure you don't hook
up with any hot clients.

Tell them I'm being
nurses while I'm gone.

Yes, I'd like to speak with
Steven Daugherty, please.

Based on what we have seen so far with
regard to these eruptions, while indeed

the problem is dire, Mr. President,
it is not insurmountable.

The key will be to relieve pressure from
within those volcanoes that have yet to go

off.

Excuse me.

This is a closed meeting.

Steven.

This meeting's been going
on for half an hour now.

Who are these people?

You first brought the
Exodus theory to our attention.

Dr. Peter Shepard, sir.

And these are two of my research
associates, Brianna Chapman and Kaisa

Akoya.

I was under the impression that Dr. Kincaid
was the leading authority in all

this.

With all due respect, sir, Dr. Oscar
Valiand is the leading authority on

Exodus.

He and I worked very closely
together for many years.

I assure you, Dr. Shepard,
the problem is in capable hands.

Now, may I suggest you take the
science club field trip elsewhere?

Mr. President, Dr. Kincaid's
evidence is incomplete.

I can prove that.

Ridiculous.

You stole it off our server
in the first place, remember?

Kai.

Excuse me, Mr. President.

There have been some
new developments.

Developments that
Dr. Kincaid knows nothing about.

As a result, he's likely to
draw the wrong conclusions.

And this is not a situation we
can afford to make mistakes with.

All right.

We'll adjourn.

We'll meet back
here in five minutes.

Thank you, sir.

Don't thank me yet.

I don't know what you've got.

But boy, it better be damn good.

Now, I don't know what
the hell is going on here.

But I want to talk
to the two of you.

Immediately.

There you are.

I thought we lost you for a sec.

Is everything okay?

Fine.

Okay, Kai, why don't you run
ahead and get things set up for us.

We'll be right with you.

Sure thing.

You sure you're okay?

I don't know.

That depends.

Is it normal to throw out before you're
about to present your theory on how the

world is going to end to the
President of the United States?

I don't know.

It's the first time for me, too.

But I will say I made a point of steering
clear of the chicken Florentine on the

flight up.

All right.

Ready to knock this
one out of the park?

Yeah.

So, these layers surrounding the Earth's
core serve as both filters and conductors

for the heat and radiation that are
essentially the fuel that makes the planet

run.

And it's been running pretty well for a
very long time, but there is one variable

that Earth hadn't counted on.

What?

Us.

By releasing toxins and radiation in
ever-increasing quantities on the surface

of the Earth, man has sped up the internal
processes of the planet, generating an

excessive heat at the core.

It's caused an
expansion to take place.

It's pushing its way out
into the molten outer core.

It's leading to these
large-scale volcanic events.

Basically, it's like the Earth is trying
to get rid of a really bad case of double

beryxia.

It's like a burrito indigestion.

Now, her explanation,
I understand.

As fascinating as all this may be,
Doctor, I'm afraid the purpose of this

meeting isn't to determine how this began,
rather how and when it's going to end.

Sooner than you might think.

Oh, that's a pretty
bold statement.

Considering we haven't seen anything
remotely resembling what you've been

talking about, I mean,
not here, not in this country.

I'm afraid that's
about to change.

And not just in this country.

Here, you'll see fault lines radiating out
from the Earth's core, coursing through

the planet, linking together with
tectonic plates like veins and arteries.

These points indicate where
eruptions have already occurred.

And you might notice that they've
all taken place along a major fault line,

which puts pressure on the various plates,
particularly the Pacific and the North

American.

What does that mean to us?

That we can expect increased eruption
patterns in Hawaii within the next 24

hours, followed by both volcanic and
seismic activity along the Rockies all the

way up into Alaska.

And that's just for starters.

This is a recent satellite
image of the atmosphere.

Now, based on the current rate at
which these eruptions are occurring,

here's a projection of how
it will look in two days...

one week...

two weeks...

Are you trying to tell me that we
could be looking at another Ice Age?

If these eruptions
continue unabated, yes.

And how are we supposed to
shut down every volcano on Earth?

Believe it or not, I
actually have a plan.

We're all ears, Doctor.

The planet is going to continue
to discharge this volcanic material.

The question is,
where do you want it?

On the land or under the ocean?

And what are you
suggesting, Doctor?

Rather than letting the planet decide
where and when to erupt, we release the

pressure for her.

How?

We would need to develop a somewhat more
sophisticated oceanographic floor plan.

We would pick strategic geological targets
to detonate a series of charges along,

creating vents in the subaquatic
lithosphere that would release the rock

and magma, reducing the pressure and
allowing the plates to realign themselves.

And that would work?

It's just a theory, but...

And a rather poorly
thought out one at that.

Look, I'm not saying
it would be easy.

Even with precision detonations,
there would be aftershocks, significant

wave activity.

The eruptions aren't just
going to stop overnight.

The change would
be gradual but steady.

But...

Given the depths of the thermally active
regions I have in mind, I believe that the

after-effects would be minimal.

Especially when you
consider the alternatives.

Wait a minute.

Dr. Shepard, are you seriously proposing
the global launch of nuclear warheads to

stop a bunch of
volcanic eruptions?

Which goes against
everything I've ever believed in.

But when your back is against the
wall, you have to fight fire with fire.

Mr. President, with all due
respect, I strongly advise against...

Look, Professor Plagiarism,
you had your chance.

Now, whether you want to admit it or not,
we are running pretty damn low on options

and time.

So if you have a better idea, I'm
sure we would all love to hear it.

Atlas has shrugged, gentlemen.

Now, what are we
going to do about it?

Sorry about that.

I just couldn't help myself.

That guy is a first-class tool.

No, that's... Hey, I couldn't
have said it better myself.

Do you want me to leave?

Yes.

Oh, God, Peter, and go where?

Look, if this is your way of
convincing me to go back to New York...

Natalie, I just told you
everything I've been through.

Look, I don't want
to argue with you.

That's not why I called.

Nothing is going to happen here.

You don't know that.

There hasn't been a major
eruption at Yellowstone in years.

It doesn't change the fact that it's
sitting right on top of the largest fault

line in North America.

The same one that had been tracing
volcanic activity over the last three

days.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Oscar's dead, Nat.

So is one of my students.

What?

Oscar was at Mount
Fuji when it went off.

Jacques was with me.

Oh, my God, Peter.

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'd just feel a lot better if
I knew that you were, too.

Peter, I don't know what
you expect me to do.

You...

I don't know what to say.

Listen.

I'm sorry.

About everything.

I was wrong.

What happened
between us was my fault.

I know that.

Peter.

Look, I don't know how you
feel about me at this point.

I don't know if we
have another chance.

I just need you to believe
me about this, if nothing else.

Are you watching
what's going on?

They're showing
footage of Hualalai.

I almost don't
recognize it anymore.

The governor has authorized the National
Guard to begin mass evacuations following

the eruption of virtually all of
the island chain's volcanoes.

It's gonna get worse, isn't it?

Yeah.

It is.

Dr. Shepard, there's an urgent
call for you from a Steven Doherty.

Uh, yeah.

Tell him I'll be right there.

Just one second.

Natalie?

Yeah?

I'm sorry.

I gotta run.

I'll call you back as
soon as I can, okay?

Help with Peter?

Yeah.

Just be careful.

Please.

Steven?

Peter, how long would it take you
and your team to create your floor plan?

Uh, with the resources
we have at the moment?

At least a week?

Naval Intelligence is
expecting you within the hour.

They've been told they're working for you
and you're to have full access to whatever

you need.

You have 24 hours.

So the president
accepted the plan?

You're good to go, Peter.

Good luck.

Okay.

They'll be there.

So this is it, huh?

Now, unfortunately, we're not gonna be
able to go with satellites today because

of the cloud cover.

So if we can get detailed maps of
the island chain, we'll be able to do that.

The Atlantic and Pacific
basins, that'd be great.

Okay.

That looks like the sea beam
project the NOAA was working on.

It is.

Wasn't that scrapped in the late
80s because of security concerns?

It was, officially.

So, officially,
you've never seen it.

If you take a look at this damn map,
you'll get a feel for the problem we're

facing.

What do you envision
setting these charges?

Well, I think the
law is possible.

It's all basic.

If you leave
concrete, you'll see.

If you don't, then you'll drown.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

That corresponds to this,
which ties into that right there.

But I don't know how to go about making
an exact determination until we get hold of

it.

It's very cross-examined.

I understand.

We should get initial data back
in about the next 30 minutes.

I understand.

The time constraint support you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Okay.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

All right.

Here's what we got.

All right.

This should be a good spot.

Yeah.

All right.

Let's go.

Okay.

Submarine fleets throughout the Pacific
and Atlantic are being armed and moving

into position as we speak.

Okay, we're closing in on it.

We just want to make sure all
the coordinates are 100% accurate.

And that's why you're going to be working
hand-in-hand with the Navy throughout this

operation aboard
two of its flagships.

The Hyperion and the Beprisal.

Wait a minute.

You want us to actually...

Transportation has
already been arranged.

I'll let you decide
who goes where.

All right.

You're going to
be our go-between.

Kai and I will relay information back
to you in the text to verify any potential

hotspots.

Got it.

Listen, if something
goes wrong...

Dr. Shepard, no.

Yes.

I want you to give
this to my wife.

Tell her I'm sorry.

And that I didn't have time
and I couldn't figure out how to...

Just... tell her I'm sorry.

Okay?

Okay.

Thank you.

Is

this absolutely necessary?

It is if you want to reach the
Hyperion inside of this week.

How long until we land?

We don't.

You're sure this is a good idea?

Yeah.

Captain Halloway?

Dr. Peter Shepard?

It's a pleasure.

You tell us where you want him,
and we'll do our best to hit the target.

Yes, sir.

We've set you up over here.

Show me what you've got.

Well, this is definitely a
work in progress, but...

...we've detected serious fumarole
and vent activity in here, as well as along

this ridge.

So, according to our calculations,
the explosions should start taking place

somewhere in this general area.

That's going to put us smack in
the middle of the Marianas Trench.

I realize that, sir.

I hope you know what
you're doing, Doctor.

That makes two of us.

Natalie, you there?

Go ahead, Harf.

You want to explain to me why I'm getting
reports from all over the place that

you're telling people to
evacuate the campground?

Because I am.

Listen, I'm up here at Old Faithful
with some guys from the university.

They tell me we have some ground
declination, but I don't think that's

interesting.

Any reason to panic?

No, it's deformation, Harf, which means
there's magma moving beneath the earth,

and we do have reason to panic.

Natalie, why don't
we just wait and see?

Trust me on this one, Harf.

I'm headed over to
Kepler Campgrounds.

I sent a couple
families there yesterday.

Get everyone as far away
from the geyser as possible.

I'll be in touch.

Approaching a large
hydrothermal field now.

160 by North 20.

Chimneys out there?

Take a look.

Have your pick.

Black or white?

Iron saturation levels
whisk me off the charts.

Definitely closing in on it.

Dr. Shepherd.

Someone on the
comm line for you.

You can patch
in right here, sir.

Thank you.

Hello?

Hey, Doc.

How are things
in the Pacific Rim?

Cold and dark, but it looks
like that's starting to change.

How are things on your end?

Like I'm playing self-commander
in the world's biggest bathtub, man.

You should have seen the look on the
captain's face when he realized he'd be

entrusting the navigation of $6 billion
worth of Navy equipment to a joker.

Remember, we've got the Russians
and the UK waiting in the wings.

So as soon as you sync up with Bree and
finalize your coordinates, I want you to

forward them all
around, all right?

Aye, aye, sir.

Always wanted to say that.

Okay, Kai.

Target coordinates are good on one
and two, waiting for confirmation on three.

Copy that.

Standing by.

What's the minimum safe distance
from these kind of detonations?

Two nautical miles.

Hope you make it.

This is either the smartest plan in
the history of mankind, or the dumbest.

Well, if it's the latter, we won't
be around long enough to regret it.

What the hell was that?

Sir, we've got multiple thermal
spikes popping up all over the trench.

Looks like they want to
beat us to the punch, huh?

Load specials in
tube one and two.

Flood in standby.

Load specials in
tubes one and two.

Flood in standby.

Aye.

We're gonna need a hell of an
overhaul when we put into port, Captain.

I wouldn't advise that we
stay in the trench much longer.

Noted, XO.

Maintain course and speed.

Maintain course and speed.

Aye.

Open tubes one and two.

Stand by for launch.

Okay, go.

Hyperion has her
tube doors open.

She's ready to fire.

Torpedo status, Mr. Cartwright.

Torpedoes armed and ready.

Tubes one and two are flooded.

Tube doors are open.

Ready to fire on
your command, sir.

Fire torpedo one and two.

Torpedoes away.

What was that?

Torpedo two went off track, sir.

Number two torpedo has
impacted with the trench wall.

Now what?

Now we hope the first one penetrated deep
enough to get the job done and that the

next ones don't miss.

Load specials
tubes three and four.

Torpedo one on track, sir.

Time to target.

T minus three.

Two.

One.

Signatures are weakening, sir.

Seawater's already
cooling off the magma.

Looks like our plan
is actually working.

Let's not pat ourselves
on the back just yet.

We've still got our two
biggest targets coming up.

Here, Kai.

Read your load and clear.

I just wanted to let you know Operation
Heal the Earth has officially commenced

here in the Atlantic.

I hope they got a crap load of
champagne ready on ice back in D.C.

The good stuff.

Torpedoes three
and four are away.

Kai.

Kai.

Transmitting S.O.S.

on all frequencies.

This is the United States Nuclear
Submarine Reprisal to S.I.M.

Grand Fleet HQ.

Maintain port side clearance.

Full right rudder.

Captain, I've lost all contact.

I've lost contact with
my man on the reprisal.

It's gonna have to wait.

Fire tubes three and four.

Fire tubes three and four.

Aye.

My fellow Americans.

As you are well aware, for the past
several weeks, our planet has been

besieged by a series of
unusual volcanic eruptions.

These geological events have caused untold
damage and loss of life all across the

globe.

The world's top scientists have concluded
that the Earth will continue to release

magma at an
increased startling rate.

However, there is hope.

A possibility to bring an end to the
devastation and destruction of our planet.

Earlier this morning, acting with the
full cooperation of the United Nations,

I authorized a plan of action intended
to counter the effects of these eruptions.

At

this very moment, several American
submarines in the Atlantic and the Pacific

are working in conjunction with
submarine fleets from other nations.

Twenty-two countries coordinating
efforts to launch forty-four nuclear-tipped

torpedoes at various targets
beneath the world's oceans.

Today, the Earth is the only place in
the whole world that can have such a

possibility.

If we are successful in our joint mission,
and I have every confidence that we will

be, our way of life will be
preserved for future generations.

However, planet Earth as we
know it, will be forever changed.

I ask you, regardless of your faith,
to join me in a prayer for our families,

for our friends, for our heroes,
and most of all, for our future.

Will we survive?

I believe we are
destined to do so.

May God bless us all.

Hey, I didn't hear you come in.

I just got back.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm really glad you're here.

Me too.

Are you having second
thoughts about USGS?

I don't want Kincaid's job.

I'm a teacher, not
an administrator.

I only want to be with you.

As scientists, we study
recent past events.

We study volcanic activity in the hopes
of better understanding the way our world

functions.

And to prevent the loss of life by
eventually being able to predict these

eruptions.

Shared knowledge among the nations of
the world will prevent future loss of life.

Today we are capable of learning
more about Earth than ever before.

But without our humanity, our
scientific progress helps no one.

The next time nature
rebels, will mankind be ready?

Have we learned from our past
in order to protect our future?
