Shockwaves (2022) Movie Script
That's there.
Or is it that way?
It must be, um... there.
Ugh for god's sake.
Hey mate. You right?
Oh, you haven't switched
in ages? No, no, no.
Oh you get guess where I
am, have a look at this.
Just sent it to you. You see it?
Yeah, yeah, it's that
mountain. Did you remember?
We climbed it like two years
ago. Two or three years ago.
Oh sorry, uh, the... sorry
I just heard something really weird.
Yeah. Do you know that mountain?
With all the, all the trees and stuff.
All them moving around.
Yeah. It's really weird.
Yeah. It was happening all
the way down the valley.
Fuck!
Oh fuck!
It's mine Erica, give it back!
No it's not, it's mine!
I said give it back!
Stop it! Stop it Hannah!
Erica stop winding your sister up
and give her back her top!
I'm not!
Girls, we don't have time for this,
we need leave in five minutes!
Yeah, well I can't find my shoes!
I don't care, if you're not outside
and packed in five minutes,
I'm leaving without you!
Just leave then!
Is everything all right?
It's fine. Not that you
would've jumped in anyway.
When are you getting the
builders to get this stuff?
Gwen? I've...
You girls have got everything?
Yes Mum.
And Erica?
Are you sure you can't come with us?
You know I can't, Hannah.
It won't be the same
if you're not there.
I'm sorry.
You know Mum and Erica will just
be fighting the whole time.
There's not much I can do about that.
Well, you could be there.
I can't.
And it's not because I
don't wanna be there.
I've got some unusual readings at work.
I've gotta do more tests
and I need to go the office this weekend.
Oh, you always have to work.
I'll make it up to you. I promise.
We'll go for the whole week,
rather than a weekend next time.
What?
You shouldn't make
promises you can't keep, Dad.
Found it!
Good, come on then girls
time to get moving!
Bye girls have a great time!
I'll see you when you get back!
And, uh, I'll cook
spaghetti and meatballs.
Or something, or, um, take away my treat!
Say goodbye to your Dad.
Bye Dad.
Bye-bye.
Look, Peter.
Let it be Gwen, takeaway or
do spaghetti and meatballs,
everything will be back to normal.
Please don't do this Peter.
Do what?
Act like everything's
normal, cause it's not Peter.
Everything's on the kitchen counter.
Read them if you want.
But all they really
need is your signature.
Gwen. I've, I've been through this.
Just sign them Peter!
Well we'll see when we get back,
we can talk then.
Uh, Gwen.
What? The
What's up Peter?
Your fancy printer went out of ink?
It's very funny Jim.
Oh, you've lost your colored pencils?
Yeah. Good one.
No, how about one of his
rocks has gone missing?
Uh, there's more outside
if you need them Pete.
Gotta do some work.
Yeah. Must be really hard
work staring at those maps.
Yeah. Do you even need
to go to school for that?
Yes.
I have a Doctorate, the same as you.
These are not maps, these are seismographs
and they measure earthquakes.
Does anyone actually listen to me?
Not usually. No.
You're wasting your time anyway,
as if there's gonna be any
earthquakes around here.
Well actually... do
you know what? Never mind.
Let us do some work.
Let's let him do some work.
Hang on.
What's that?
Oh no! It's an earthquake!
Can I please just do some work?
All right, we'll be away.
Someone can't take a joke!
Come on Jim.
What on Earth?
Mum, what is it?
I don't know.
Mum. What's that over there?
Is it safe to be here?
Should be fine, I imagine there's been
a lot of rain that's made the ground wet.
Nobody cause a scene, we'll keep going.
Finally, I thought that
road was never going to end.
Oh, hi!
Hi Amanda!
Well, you certainly chose
a secluded spot, didn't you?
Well, when I said it was a
weekend retreat, I meant it.
Plus I think we all need
a bit of peace and quiet.
Don't we girls?
Yes.
Yes.
How are you doing?
Fine. You know?
Well, hopefully this will help you
to take your mind off a few things.
Do you want to come take a look inside?
Yeah!
So the hot tub is just out back
and I've already been shopping
and bought everything you're
going to need for food.
And drinks?
And drinks of course.
I mean, we can't have a relaxed weekend
without the Pinot Grigio,
you know what I mean?
Excellent, I should
be having several glasses
of that this evening.
Is there any WiFi here?
Yeah, I can't seem
to get a signal at all.
Um, I think of this card
has a password for it.
Well, that's the girls all
sorted for the weekend then?
What do you think we should do first?
Actually I've booked us in
for caving this afternoon.
Caving?
What, as in like crawling
through actual caves and stuff?
That sound terrifying.
Well, that's why I only
booked it for me and your mum.
What'd you say? Fancy
crawling through caves Gwen?
Sure, why not? Let's do it.
Yeah.
Yeah. I don't think I could do that,
I'm way too claustrophobic.
Well, clearly your
mum's the adventurous one
in the family then.
Or the crazy one!
Hey! Watch it you!
So what are three of you going to do
while Amanda and I are out?
Sit on your bums all day?
Should have left them
at home with their dad.
Yeah, you should've.
I'm happy to be here, I think
maybe we could go exploring.
Maybe bring a picnic?
Oh, that's a nice idea,
I think there's lakes nearby or something.
Oh yeah. I think we
passed one on our way up.
- Oh, then we can go swimming!
- I'll go get my stuff.
Yep.
We'll be gone a couple of hours,
are you sure you have everything you need?
Yep.
Here are the keys,
you're probably gonna be back before us.
Thank you. More time
in the hot tub then.
As long as you don't drink all the wine,
that doesn't bother me.
Well be good.
We will!
Come on.
Bye!
Let's go find a snake!
I'm going to the canteen.
Do you want a coffee Jim?
Yes.
Yes. Nice one mate,
yeah I'll have a coffee.
Oh gosh.
Sorry we're late, we
couldn't find the turning.
Not to worry. You must be Amanda?
Oh yeah, we spoke on the phone.
Hi there. My name's Sam,
Hi.
And this is my daughter, Erin.
Hi!
Hi.
And you must be Gwen?
Yes. Hello, nice to meet you.
Excellent, well, the four of us
are going to be caving together today.
I've chosen a nice, easy route for us.
It's, um, it's one of
the easiest in the area.
I understand that neither
of you been caving before?
Yeah.
Not to worry, don't
worry, I can guarantee you,
the cave is completely safe.
As I said, it's one of the
most popular in the area
and the route is well-worn.
I can't tell you the
amount of times me and Dad
have been through there,
so you'll be fine.
There's plenty of head room,
and there's a few places
along the way that we can stop
and catch our breath.
Oh, having said that, although it is safe,
I will need you both
to put these on for me.
They'll protect your clothes.
But more importantly, they will
protect your arms and legs.
Some of the rocks can be
quite sharp as we're moving
and sliding past them.
- Give you these as well.
- Pretty self-explanatory.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Right? Should we get started then?
Yeah.
Follow me please ladies.
This way come on, follow me.
Ugh, God.
Okay, that's good.
And then we just shouted back at him!
Yeah we lost our job!
Oh wow look at that.
They must be thinning the woods.
Why would they do that?
Girls look there's the lake.
Can't be that far of them here.
Amazing! I'm starving.
I'm not certain, but this...
No, no.
No. No, no, no.
What was that?
I'm not, certain.
Was that a bomb?
Is someone downstairs, tampering
with something? Honestly.
I don't think so mate,
I think that was a preliminary tremor.
Earthquake? Really?
It was definitely a preliminary tremor.
An earthquake's coming.
This wasn't the breakthrough I wanted, but
it's in here in the data.
There's definitely really
an increase in tremors.
What are you on about?
If my data is correct,
this could be the largest
recorded earthquake
in human history.
This could decimate the city.
This could decimate the entire country!
We need to get outta here.
We can't just leave here!
The electricity's cut
off, we have to go now.
Jim, where's Kevin?
He's gone to get me a coffee. Why?
Hello?
Anybody there? I
think the lift is stuck.
Oh no.
There's another tremor coming!
I can't fucking believe this.
Hello? Hello? Is anybody
there? Something's wrong!
Anybody? Anybody?
Help please? I need some help.
Aw!
Avoid tall buildings. Avoid forests.
I have to go. I've gotta get to the girls.
Sophie, you need to leave the building,
the earthquake is gonna
hit very, very soon
within five to six hours.
And Jim just, just get out of here. Okay?
Peter, Peter! Why is this happening?
When you leave, use the stairs.
But what about Kevin?
I don't know. I've
gotta go to my family.
Okay. So what do you
think? Shall we picnic first?
Isn't there some kind of rule
about something after eating?
It's not like we're gonna
be doing laps. We'll be fine.
You all right?
Thanks.
What was that?
Don't know?
It was something though,
wasn't it? Something happened.
You know, maybe it's the mine nearby,
it could be the aftershocks.
You sure?
Yeah. Erica is right.
I don't think there's
anything to worry about.
Come on, let's go we're almost there.
Yeah. It's just over the hill.
The person
you are trying to reach
is currently unavailable.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Gwen, when you get this,
can you call me back?
I know you don't want to, but it's urgent.
You and the girls need
to get outta the forest.
We're all at the epicenter.
There's an earthquake coming.
It's gonna hit today.
We need to get outta here fast.
Shit! Gwen, I'm coming
to get you and the girls!
Call me back!
I'll try Hannah's phone now.
Please answer.
Okay. This is it. You ready?
Yeah.
Something isn't it?
You'll notice that the formations are...
Well that was exciting.
Exciting? I thought you
said these caves were safe?
They are! It's just the rock resettling!
It's fine, it does it from
time to time. It's okay.
Honestly, there's
nothing to worry about,
these caves have been
standing for millennia.
Are you okay Amanda?
Do you want to carry on?
Yeah, I'm fine it just
caught me off guard. Let's go.
Okay, if you're sure. This way, please,
we'll head in a little bit.
I'll get you to put
your torches on girls.
You've
reached emergency services,
what do you require?
Police... or government line.
Do you have a government line?
What's the
nature of your emergency sir?
Earthquake, it's gonna
hit this afternoon.
It's gonna effect the whole country!
You calling in a bomb threat?
Or do you know of
something that will happen?
It's not a bomb threat!
It's a, it's an earthquake;
Natural phenomena.
It's, although, it's probably
afterwards gonna hit.
Is this a prank? High school...
- This is not a prank call.
- This is, it's an earthquake!
It's gonna hit this afternoon.
Goodbye Sir.
So if you look up, you'll see
there's some beautiful
stalactites and stalagmites.
And this section here is
particularly interesting where the
What's happening?
I dunno, I think it might be a...
Wait, wait, wait! Quick! Over here!
Ah!
I am so full.
Me too.
This is so nice, I just stay here all day.
What happened to going swimming?
Hm, I still will. Just maybe later.
How do you think Mum's getting on?
Still don't know if I could do caving,
stuck underneath all that rock.
I bet you she's smashing out,
Mum was always good with that
outdoorsy stuff, wasn't she?
Was she?
Yeah, do you not remember,
We used to go camping with
Mum and Dad all the time.
Not really.
Yeah, you were little.
I remember we used to go on walks
and make fires and stuff.
Oh. And Dad used to constantly
spout his earth plans.
When did we stop doing that?
I don't know. Kind of just fizzled.
Like we were busy with other
things and Dad was always busy.
He's still always busy.
At least Mum can get
away now, but, you know.
Don't. Don't talk about that.
This is too nice.
Swimming?
Maybe.
Watch out for the leaches.
Leaches?
Just joking. I think.
Just to be sure, you can go in first.
What?
Mm hm, get out there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Watch your step.
How is it?
Bit nice!
Yeah? Nice?
Very refreshing.
Very refreshing? You
look really refreshed.
Ah oh my god, it is so cold!
Hannah. Hannah get
outta the lake. Come on.
What is it? Oh my God.
What was that?
Guys. Look.
Excuse me!
Hey behind you, you need
to move, you need to move!
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
Girls, we've got to go. Let's go, come on!
Grab your shoes, quick! Come on! This way!
Hello?
Hello. I'm trying to
reach Meredith Collins.
Speaking.
Dr. Collins, this is Peter Watson.
You've been financing my
projects for the last two years.
Dr. Watson. Yes. The seismologist.
I've been keeping up with
your papers. Interesting work.
Thank you. I've a...
Have you made a breakthrough?
Well, um, something's happened.
My equipment; I've been
studying the graphs.
I believe there's a major
event about to happen.
I believe it's the largest
possible earthquake,
the largest in recorded history.
I think you might be right.
The news; There have been reports
of landslides, roads cracking, sinkholes.
Do you think these could be related?
Yes. Yes, definitely.
I believe it's just a start.
I was afraid something
like this would happen.
So what do you suggest Dr. Watson?
I mean, how much time do we have?
Well, there's gonna be an increase
in preliminary tremors
over the next few hours.
There's likely to be destruction,
and potentially loss of human life.
The main earthquake I
think is likely to hit
in about five, six hours;
Six hours if we're lucky.
Not much time at all, then.
Thank you for the phone
call for Dr. Watson.
I, I really appreciate it.
I need to make some calls.
I need to make contact with the government
and make them aware.
We need to sort out an
evacuation of major cities
and there's bound to
be some civil arrests.
I mean, the public will panic.
What are your plans for evading impact?
I'm not sure yet.
I'm just on route to get my family there,
they're staying close to the epicenter.
You have a wife and three
daughters. Is that right?
Yes, that's right. How did you uh...?
Dr. Watson, it's my business
to know who I'm funding.
Look, I've been preparing
for a world altering
event for some time now.
I wasn't sure exactly what it would be,
an earthquake, a hurricane,
nuclear war, whatever!
But I knew it was best to be prepared.
I have a secure bunker outside of the city.
In the next five to six hours,
I'll be preparing it for the impact
and whatever may happen afterwards.
The rest of my team are
too far away to make it,
but I see if they can get
secure location elsewhere,
and we can monitor the
earthquake from there.
I'd like to offer you and your family
space within the bunker.
That's incredibly generous of you.
It's at least I can do.
I mean, if it wasn't for
this phone call Dr. Watson,
I wouldn't even know to get prepared.
The rest of my team too
far away to make it,
so I'll instruct them to
go to another location
and we'll monitor the
earthquake from there.
So what do you say?
Yes, definitely. Yes.
Love to take you up on the offer.
Good.
The doors will shut and
be sealed 10 minutes
before the earthquake hits.
If you're not inside by then,
I'm afraid I won't be able
to reopen the doors for you.
Understood.
We'll definitely be there.
I'll make sure of it.
Okay. Right.
Well, I'll send you over the details
and the location of the bunker now.
Dr. Watson.
I'll see you in a few hours.
Best of luck.
Thank you.
Hannah behind you!
You okay?
What was that?
I dunno.
Came out of nowhere, but I
think it might be an earthquake.
It must have been, just
like Dad always described,
all that shaking.
Do you think he felt it at work?
Maybe?
What about Mum?
You think she's still in the cave?
Hey, look, look we need to
head to the cabin, alright?
It's the only place that we've got signal.
We can, we can call Dad from there,
and hopefully Mum will be
back there by then anyway.
Yeah, good idea. But we should go quick.
If there's another quake,
we don't wanna be stuck
in these words. Go on.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Get away from there!
Hey! Get away from there!
Give us the keys.
Whoa. Let's just, let's just calm down.
I said, give us the damn keys!
I just wanna get to my family.
Shut up!
Shut up! And give us the
keys. We're taking the car.
I'll give you the keys. I'll trade you.
Just gimme the phone. I
need to call my family.
- And why should I do that?
- I can shoot you right now.
Look, it's my daughter.
She's stuck in the forest.
There's an earthquake!
We know about the earthquake!
Well then you know I'm not lying!
I'm gonna give you the keys.
I'm gonna go first, I'm
gonna put them down.
Just put down the phone as well, please.
You just, give me the
phone, just put it down.
You can, just put it
down. Just put it down.
No don't! Fuck!
I don't know what to do
any better than you do!
Oh Wait, it's Dad, it's Dad.
Dad? Dad, can you hear me?
Alice? It it's me.
Can you hear me?
Yeah, I can hear you, I can hear you.
Oh. Thank God. You're okay.
I've been trying to call you one morning.
Where's your sisters?
Erica and Hannah. They're,
they're here with me.
We're in the cabin, but
Mum, she's, she's not back.
She went caving with Amanda!
Caving?
Yeah.
Dad what's going on?
We were down by the lake and
it felt like an earthquake.
The ground started shaking
and the, the trees were falling!
We had to run through the forest!
I knew it.
Knew what? What is going on?
I need you to listen to me, Alice.
These are warning tremors.
There's an earthquake coming.
It's gonna hit really soon.
What? But what do you need us to do?
I'm coming to get you.
All of you. Just stay where you are. Okay?
Dad? What about Mum?
She's not back. I try, I try to phone her,
but her phone is dead.
What, what if she's...
She'd be okay. Your mum's tough.
She's probably on, on
the way to you right now.
Just, just gather up your things.
Get food, water, and get under a table.
There's gonna be more tremors.
Can you do that for me?
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Under the table. Got it.
Just take care of each other.
Just all three of you.
Just stay together and take
care of each other. Okay?
Yeah, we will.
Dad. How long have we got?
I'll get to you before. I promise.
Just stay where you are.
I love you Alice.
I love you too Dad.
See you soon. See you soon.
He's fine.
For fuck's sake. Gwen, come on.
What?
Well, what did he say?
He said there's gonna be an earthquake.
That what we felt by the
lake, and in the forest,
they were just warning tremors.
That the real thing; It's coming.
Then we need to find
Mum and Amanda then?
No, no Dad said that
we need to wait here.
What?
He said that we need to gather supplies
and we need to wait here.
Wait for Dad?
Mum is out there somewhere and
her and Amanda could be stuck
under something or worse.
Don't say that! But he
said, he's gonna come.
Okay? And he will be here.
No, we need to find them our self.
How are we gonna do that Erica?
We don't have a car!
We don't know where they've gone!
Yeah. Okay.
But what makes you think that Dad,
will be any better at
finding them than us?
We have to trust him.
He said that he's gonna be
here. So we're gonna wait.
And when his Dad ever kept his promises?
No do not pretend that you don't know
what I'm thinking about...
Erica!
No! Mum and Dad, Mum and
Dad are getting a divorce
because, because she sees it too.
Stop it!
Hannah, are you serious?
Yeah, you're wrong. Okay?
Like, yeah. Yeah, Mum and Dad,
they have had their issues.
I know.
And maybe they'll sort it out
and they'll get back together
or maybe they won't.
Okay. But he's our Dad.
And he told us to stay
here and wait for him.
So that is what I'm gonna do.
I know, I know you're angry.
We all are, but we can't hold grudges now.
He'll be here.
He will be. Now come on.
We need to get supplies. Okay?
Cut.
You're all okay?
I'm okay.
Hang on.
There's no way out is there?
We're trapped.
Ugh.
Girls.
Hey! Hey!
Wait! Please! Stop!
Is everything all right, love?
No not exactly, My
car's just been stolen
and I'm trying to get it to my family,
up on the cabin, up on the hill.
Oh yes. I know it, by the lake.
It's very pretty.
Yes. My, my wife and, and
three girls are up there.
Lovely.
Not exactly, there's an
earthquake coming and...
An, an earthquake did you say?
Is that what all this shakings been about?
Yes.
I thought that was my driving!
No, they're preliminary tremors.
There's an earthquake
expected sometimes soon.
Like I was saying,
is there any chance you could
give me a lift up there?
Well, we shouldn't drive up there.
There'll be landslides.
Please.
You have to understand,
my family's up there.
The cabin is right at the
epicenter of the earthquake.
This earthquake is probably
the largest we've ever seen.
Probably the largest in recorded history.
I have to get up there, I have
to get my family to safety
and I'm running out of time.
I've lost my car.
I was trying to walk up there.
So I'm begging you, please.
You know what?
Take my car.
Look. I can't.
You can, and you
must. It's the only way.
Wait, what are you?
You don't understand.
I understand completely, love.
It's more important for
you to save your family
than for me to save myself.
I've had a good life and who knows?
I may find somewhere to wait
out this earthquake of yours.
So go on.
Thank you.
So, so kind of you. You have
no idea what this means to me.
Just make sure you get to them on time.
I will and make sure you get some cover.
Get under a table, a door
frame, or a clearing ideally.
Just make sure you avoid
anything that can dislodge.
I'll do my best. Now go!
Thank you.
There's still nothing from Mum or Dad.
Do you think something happened to them?
It's already been two hours.
What if he's changed his mind?
What if he's just dead?
Don't say that. What are we gonna do?
Well we need to be smart about this.
Wait another 30 minutes.
And if they're still
not here, we have to go.
He said to stay here.
Erica's right.
You know, Erica, Erica's right Hannah.
On, look at this place.
We have to make a choice eventually.
Dad!
Thank God you're okay!
I don't know what I would've done
if anything had happened to you.
I'm so sorry.
I was so worried.
I didn't think you were
gonna come. I'm sorry.
I didn't think you were gonna come.
We thought something might've happened.
I'm okay.
We're all okay.
Where's your mum?
She's still not back yet.
Dad there's been so many tremors.
Yeah.
I felt the tremors.
We're gonna go to the cave.
We're gonna get Mother and Amanda.
We're gonna get outta here. Okay?
Alice, I need you to get me your phone.
I need it for minute.
Yeah, no, the nearest cave from here
is 15 minutes from us.
We're gonna go there first.
The car, out front, your
mum's, where the keys?
Yeah. They're they're
upstairs with her stuff.
Okay, good. Okay.
I'm gonna get the keys,
and you're gonna put
your things in the car.
Come on.
Mum? Mum!
Mum, can you hear us?
Mum, Mummy are you there?
Mum!
Girls? Is that you?
Don't worry. We're gonna get you out.
We'll we'll find a way to shift the rock.
Careful girls.
Girls? Is that you?
Gwen, we're gonna get you out.
Don't worry Mum!
How many people are in there?
Sam, the Caving Instructor
and his daughter Erin.
Amanda...
Amanda tried to run out,
but the rocks crushed her.
She's... she's.
Okay. Okay, Gwen, Gwen.
Let's just focus on trying
to get you outta there.
I'm gonna try and move
some of these rocks.
Sam says there's an
emergency kit in his rucksack.
Try in there!
I've got something.
Wait, what's that?
It's dynamite. Just, just
go back behind there. Quickly!
What's going on?
We're gonna move the rubble
out the way with the dynamite.
It's safe?
Yeah, it'll be fine.
It'll be fine. Just, just get, get
to the back of the cave
and find some shelter.
We're going back into the cave now!
Good!
We won't be able to hear you.
Good, okay.
Trust me! Just trust me, Gwen!
30 seconds, and, and you'll be outta here.
Gwen!
Mum! Mum!
Mummy are you okay?
Mum! Mum! You're okay!
You came back. You came back for us.
You and the girls are the
most important thing to me.
Help, help, my daughter's hurt!
Girls, get back to the car.
Please help!
Get back to the car.
She's tapped under a boulder!
Show me where.
Help me, help me, get me out!
It's okay
I can't feel my legs! Get me out!
Help, help's on the way, okay?
It's okay. It's okay.
Just gimme two minutes.
Okay? I'll be right back.
No! Don't leave me!
I'll be right back. Okay?
Help is coming, help is coming.
Daddy please don't leave
me I can't feel my legs!
Please! No, don't leave
me, don't leave me!
You gotta help me.
There's nothing we can do here.
You need to come back with me.
No no I can't leave her!
You need to come with
me, there's an earthquake.
It's gonna hit. Come.
No, no, no. I'm not leaving her!
I have to get to my girls.
It's your call.
Dad!
Help me! Please help me Dad!
- It's okay. I'm back.
- I'm not leaving you.
Don't mind, Darling, I'm not leaving.
Get me out.
Don't worry, I've got a plan. Okay?
I'm staying with you.
Okay.
- This is gonna be okay.
- I'm not leaving you.
Don't mind. Don't mind.
No, no, no! Get out of here!
No, no. I'm staying with you.
No get out!
I'm staying with you!
Will you get out of here! Get out!
I'm staying with you!
No you can't help me! Get out!
I'm staying with you!
- Get out of here!
- Get out of here! Get out!
Open this door Gwen!
So these are only the warning shakes?
The actual earthquake is going
to be even bigger than this?
If my calculations are correct, yes.
Not as dumb as you thought.
So twitty.
My benefactor, the person
who finances my work,
she's offered us a place in her bunker.
It'll be the safest place
to see out the earthquake.
Where is this bunker?
She gave me the address.
Look, it's there. This problem is that
the bridge is collapsed.
We'll take another route,
around the back. Some monastery.
Oh, look at that.
Well, look at that.
That's awful.
Mum watch out!
This is the end! This is the end!
Eternal damnation has come for us all!
Our souls are unclean,
and we must be reborn!
We will. Stay here.
- This is eternal damnation.
- It has come for us all.
Are you all right?
Sister is everything okay?
And only God can save us now!
Dad what's going on?
Stay in the car Erica!
Only God can save us now!
Get in that car!
- You don't understand.
- It's an earthquake.
Ground will shake and the...
Go! Go!
He will send his Four Horsemen!
What do we do help her?
Dad do we have time?
50 minutes till the earthquake hits.
We have to keep going.
Yeah.
Come on, come on.
Jesus Christ!
Come on! Quickly!
Come on!
There's one minute!
Come on, follow me!
Come on! Go on, keep moving!
Don't thank me yet.
We still have to survive the earthquake.
We need to head down the
tunnel to the inner bunker.
There's room for you and your family,
we can all shelter there.
- There's people outside.
- We have to help them.
We can't, the doors
are locked and sealed.
We have to do something!
There's nothing we can do.
Please. We have to move now.
Sorry. I'm sorry!
Come on!
Come on, careful on the stairs everyone.
When did you get this?
I've been putting this bunker
together for some years now
and though it's best to be safe,
but with everything that's
been going on in the world,
I was hoping not to have to use it.
Come on.
We should get one.
What happened here? It looks damaged.
It is, there was a
fire several years ago.
However, it's still
the safest place to be,
down the tunnel is the inner bunker,
is incredibly secure and it should be able
to withstand almost anything.
That's the signal!
Get down there quick, it's coming!
Go!
Quickly, everybody let's run!
Quickly!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on, quickly! Quickly everyone!
What's all this?
We have a satellite connection
to several cameras outside.
So we should be able to see
what's going on on the surface,
as the earthquake hits.
My team was at another location,
monitoring the earthquake from there.
Thank you so much
for letting our family
stay in your bunker.
It means so much.
You saved our family.
On the contrary, Mrs. Watson.
If it wasn't for your
husband, we'd all be dead.
What do you mean?
It was because of his predictions,
and his smart decision
to call and alert me,
that I was able to get
the bunker prepared.
If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't
have anywhere to shelter.
No, I Was just doing my job.
I was just doing my job.
You finance all of this.
I can't take any of the credit.
Well, clearly it was
very important work.
It was glad to be able to contribute.
Thank you.
You have a very fine man,
you know, Mrs. Watson.
There aren't many that be able to deal
with such a situation in such a calm way.
Oh, I will.
I have to be honest with you.
I almost didn't think you would make it.
I told you we would.
I'm very glad I was wrong.
Impact in 10 seconds.
Kay everyone. This is
it. Just hold on okay?
Okay everyone? This is it.
Is it over?
Is all of this done?
We made it. We did it.
It's not pretty. Is it?
- Is it safe to go outside?
- Can we open the door?
I'd rather not. There
could be aftershocks.
No, I think it's finished.
That was what it was all leading up to.
Can, can we outside?
Trust me.
It's over.
Come on girls.
If you're sure.
Girls let's go.
Look, look, wait.
I'll walk you as far as
the Bunker's entrance,
but after that, you're on your own.
I need to come back here.
I need to make sure that my team made it.
At the other location.
Okay. Right then. Let's go.
Jesus.
Judging by the damage here,
what we see beyond those doors is likely
to be larger than anything
we've ever estimated.
Come on Meredith.
Come on.
God, help everyone else outside there.
Mum? Mum what's that?
It's just a
generator! I can fix it!
Come! Meredith no!
Meredith! Come!
Dad! Dad!
Dad! Dad! Dad!
There's a ridge up there.
We might be able to see the city from it.
Let's go.
What do we do now?
We live.
Do you reckon we'll find WiFi?
Think my coat might still be there?
I wish I was an only child.
Or is it that way?
It must be, um... there.
Ugh for god's sake.
Hey mate. You right?
Oh, you haven't switched
in ages? No, no, no.
Oh you get guess where I
am, have a look at this.
Just sent it to you. You see it?
Yeah, yeah, it's that
mountain. Did you remember?
We climbed it like two years
ago. Two or three years ago.
Oh sorry, uh, the... sorry
I just heard something really weird.
Yeah. Do you know that mountain?
With all the, all the trees and stuff.
All them moving around.
Yeah. It's really weird.
Yeah. It was happening all
the way down the valley.
Fuck!
Oh fuck!
It's mine Erica, give it back!
No it's not, it's mine!
I said give it back!
Stop it! Stop it Hannah!
Erica stop winding your sister up
and give her back her top!
I'm not!
Girls, we don't have time for this,
we need leave in five minutes!
Yeah, well I can't find my shoes!
I don't care, if you're not outside
and packed in five minutes,
I'm leaving without you!
Just leave then!
Is everything all right?
It's fine. Not that you
would've jumped in anyway.
When are you getting the
builders to get this stuff?
Gwen? I've...
You girls have got everything?
Yes Mum.
And Erica?
Are you sure you can't come with us?
You know I can't, Hannah.
It won't be the same
if you're not there.
I'm sorry.
You know Mum and Erica will just
be fighting the whole time.
There's not much I can do about that.
Well, you could be there.
I can't.
And it's not because I
don't wanna be there.
I've got some unusual readings at work.
I've gotta do more tests
and I need to go the office this weekend.
Oh, you always have to work.
I'll make it up to you. I promise.
We'll go for the whole week,
rather than a weekend next time.
What?
You shouldn't make
promises you can't keep, Dad.
Found it!
Good, come on then girls
time to get moving!
Bye girls have a great time!
I'll see you when you get back!
And, uh, I'll cook
spaghetti and meatballs.
Or something, or, um, take away my treat!
Say goodbye to your Dad.
Bye Dad.
Bye-bye.
Look, Peter.
Let it be Gwen, takeaway or
do spaghetti and meatballs,
everything will be back to normal.
Please don't do this Peter.
Do what?
Act like everything's
normal, cause it's not Peter.
Everything's on the kitchen counter.
Read them if you want.
But all they really
need is your signature.
Gwen. I've, I've been through this.
Just sign them Peter!
Well we'll see when we get back,
we can talk then.
Uh, Gwen.
What? The
What's up Peter?
Your fancy printer went out of ink?
It's very funny Jim.
Oh, you've lost your colored pencils?
Yeah. Good one.
No, how about one of his
rocks has gone missing?
Uh, there's more outside
if you need them Pete.
Gotta do some work.
Yeah. Must be really hard
work staring at those maps.
Yeah. Do you even need
to go to school for that?
Yes.
I have a Doctorate, the same as you.
These are not maps, these are seismographs
and they measure earthquakes.
Does anyone actually listen to me?
Not usually. No.
You're wasting your time anyway,
as if there's gonna be any
earthquakes around here.
Well actually... do
you know what? Never mind.
Let us do some work.
Let's let him do some work.
Hang on.
What's that?
Oh no! It's an earthquake!
Can I please just do some work?
All right, we'll be away.
Someone can't take a joke!
Come on Jim.
What on Earth?
Mum, what is it?
I don't know.
Mum. What's that over there?
Is it safe to be here?
Should be fine, I imagine there's been
a lot of rain that's made the ground wet.
Nobody cause a scene, we'll keep going.
Finally, I thought that
road was never going to end.
Oh, hi!
Hi Amanda!
Well, you certainly chose
a secluded spot, didn't you?
Well, when I said it was a
weekend retreat, I meant it.
Plus I think we all need
a bit of peace and quiet.
Don't we girls?
Yes.
Yes.
How are you doing?
Fine. You know?
Well, hopefully this will help you
to take your mind off a few things.
Do you want to come take a look inside?
Yeah!
So the hot tub is just out back
and I've already been shopping
and bought everything you're
going to need for food.
And drinks?
And drinks of course.
I mean, we can't have a relaxed weekend
without the Pinot Grigio,
you know what I mean?
Excellent, I should
be having several glasses
of that this evening.
Is there any WiFi here?
Yeah, I can't seem
to get a signal at all.
Um, I think of this card
has a password for it.
Well, that's the girls all
sorted for the weekend then?
What do you think we should do first?
Actually I've booked us in
for caving this afternoon.
Caving?
What, as in like crawling
through actual caves and stuff?
That sound terrifying.
Well, that's why I only
booked it for me and your mum.
What'd you say? Fancy
crawling through caves Gwen?
Sure, why not? Let's do it.
Yeah.
Yeah. I don't think I could do that,
I'm way too claustrophobic.
Well, clearly your
mum's the adventurous one
in the family then.
Or the crazy one!
Hey! Watch it you!
So what are three of you going to do
while Amanda and I are out?
Sit on your bums all day?
Should have left them
at home with their dad.
Yeah, you should've.
I'm happy to be here, I think
maybe we could go exploring.
Maybe bring a picnic?
Oh, that's a nice idea,
I think there's lakes nearby or something.
Oh yeah. I think we
passed one on our way up.
- Oh, then we can go swimming!
- I'll go get my stuff.
Yep.
We'll be gone a couple of hours,
are you sure you have everything you need?
Yep.
Here are the keys,
you're probably gonna be back before us.
Thank you. More time
in the hot tub then.
As long as you don't drink all the wine,
that doesn't bother me.
Well be good.
We will!
Come on.
Bye!
Let's go find a snake!
I'm going to the canteen.
Do you want a coffee Jim?
Yes.
Yes. Nice one mate,
yeah I'll have a coffee.
Oh gosh.
Sorry we're late, we
couldn't find the turning.
Not to worry. You must be Amanda?
Oh yeah, we spoke on the phone.
Hi there. My name's Sam,
Hi.
And this is my daughter, Erin.
Hi!
Hi.
And you must be Gwen?
Yes. Hello, nice to meet you.
Excellent, well, the four of us
are going to be caving together today.
I've chosen a nice, easy route for us.
It's, um, it's one of
the easiest in the area.
I understand that neither
of you been caving before?
Yeah.
Not to worry, don't
worry, I can guarantee you,
the cave is completely safe.
As I said, it's one of the
most popular in the area
and the route is well-worn.
I can't tell you the
amount of times me and Dad
have been through there,
so you'll be fine.
There's plenty of head room,
and there's a few places
along the way that we can stop
and catch our breath.
Oh, having said that, although it is safe,
I will need you both
to put these on for me.
They'll protect your clothes.
But more importantly, they will
protect your arms and legs.
Some of the rocks can be
quite sharp as we're moving
and sliding past them.
- Give you these as well.
- Pretty self-explanatory.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Right? Should we get started then?
Yeah.
Follow me please ladies.
This way come on, follow me.
Ugh, God.
Okay, that's good.
And then we just shouted back at him!
Yeah we lost our job!
Oh wow look at that.
They must be thinning the woods.
Why would they do that?
Girls look there's the lake.
Can't be that far of them here.
Amazing! I'm starving.
I'm not certain, but this...
No, no.
No. No, no, no.
What was that?
I'm not, certain.
Was that a bomb?
Is someone downstairs, tampering
with something? Honestly.
I don't think so mate,
I think that was a preliminary tremor.
Earthquake? Really?
It was definitely a preliminary tremor.
An earthquake's coming.
This wasn't the breakthrough I wanted, but
it's in here in the data.
There's definitely really
an increase in tremors.
What are you on about?
If my data is correct,
this could be the largest
recorded earthquake
in human history.
This could decimate the city.
This could decimate the entire country!
We need to get outta here.
We can't just leave here!
The electricity's cut
off, we have to go now.
Jim, where's Kevin?
He's gone to get me a coffee. Why?
Hello?
Anybody there? I
think the lift is stuck.
Oh no.
There's another tremor coming!
I can't fucking believe this.
Hello? Hello? Is anybody
there? Something's wrong!
Anybody? Anybody?
Help please? I need some help.
Aw!
Avoid tall buildings. Avoid forests.
I have to go. I've gotta get to the girls.
Sophie, you need to leave the building,
the earthquake is gonna
hit very, very soon
within five to six hours.
And Jim just, just get out of here. Okay?
Peter, Peter! Why is this happening?
When you leave, use the stairs.
But what about Kevin?
I don't know. I've
gotta go to my family.
Okay. So what do you
think? Shall we picnic first?
Isn't there some kind of rule
about something after eating?
It's not like we're gonna
be doing laps. We'll be fine.
You all right?
Thanks.
What was that?
Don't know?
It was something though,
wasn't it? Something happened.
You know, maybe it's the mine nearby,
it could be the aftershocks.
You sure?
Yeah. Erica is right.
I don't think there's
anything to worry about.
Come on, let's go we're almost there.
Yeah. It's just over the hill.
The person
you are trying to reach
is currently unavailable.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Gwen, when you get this,
can you call me back?
I know you don't want to, but it's urgent.
You and the girls need
to get outta the forest.
We're all at the epicenter.
There's an earthquake coming.
It's gonna hit today.
We need to get outta here fast.
Shit! Gwen, I'm coming
to get you and the girls!
Call me back!
I'll try Hannah's phone now.
Please answer.
Okay. This is it. You ready?
Yeah.
Something isn't it?
You'll notice that the formations are...
Well that was exciting.
Exciting? I thought you
said these caves were safe?
They are! It's just the rock resettling!
It's fine, it does it from
time to time. It's okay.
Honestly, there's
nothing to worry about,
these caves have been
standing for millennia.
Are you okay Amanda?
Do you want to carry on?
Yeah, I'm fine it just
caught me off guard. Let's go.
Okay, if you're sure. This way, please,
we'll head in a little bit.
I'll get you to put
your torches on girls.
You've
reached emergency services,
what do you require?
Police... or government line.
Do you have a government line?
What's the
nature of your emergency sir?
Earthquake, it's gonna
hit this afternoon.
It's gonna effect the whole country!
You calling in a bomb threat?
Or do you know of
something that will happen?
It's not a bomb threat!
It's a, it's an earthquake;
Natural phenomena.
It's, although, it's probably
afterwards gonna hit.
Is this a prank? High school...
- This is not a prank call.
- This is, it's an earthquake!
It's gonna hit this afternoon.
Goodbye Sir.
So if you look up, you'll see
there's some beautiful
stalactites and stalagmites.
And this section here is
particularly interesting where the
What's happening?
I dunno, I think it might be a...
Wait, wait, wait! Quick! Over here!
Ah!
I am so full.
Me too.
This is so nice, I just stay here all day.
What happened to going swimming?
Hm, I still will. Just maybe later.
How do you think Mum's getting on?
Still don't know if I could do caving,
stuck underneath all that rock.
I bet you she's smashing out,
Mum was always good with that
outdoorsy stuff, wasn't she?
Was she?
Yeah, do you not remember,
We used to go camping with
Mum and Dad all the time.
Not really.
Yeah, you were little.
I remember we used to go on walks
and make fires and stuff.
Oh. And Dad used to constantly
spout his earth plans.
When did we stop doing that?
I don't know. Kind of just fizzled.
Like we were busy with other
things and Dad was always busy.
He's still always busy.
At least Mum can get
away now, but, you know.
Don't. Don't talk about that.
This is too nice.
Swimming?
Maybe.
Watch out for the leaches.
Leaches?
Just joking. I think.
Just to be sure, you can go in first.
What?
Mm hm, get out there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Watch your step.
How is it?
Bit nice!
Yeah? Nice?
Very refreshing.
Very refreshing? You
look really refreshed.
Ah oh my god, it is so cold!
Hannah. Hannah get
outta the lake. Come on.
What is it? Oh my God.
What was that?
Guys. Look.
Excuse me!
Hey behind you, you need
to move, you need to move!
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
Girls, we've got to go. Let's go, come on!
Grab your shoes, quick! Come on! This way!
Hello?
Hello. I'm trying to
reach Meredith Collins.
Speaking.
Dr. Collins, this is Peter Watson.
You've been financing my
projects for the last two years.
Dr. Watson. Yes. The seismologist.
I've been keeping up with
your papers. Interesting work.
Thank you. I've a...
Have you made a breakthrough?
Well, um, something's happened.
My equipment; I've been
studying the graphs.
I believe there's a major
event about to happen.
I believe it's the largest
possible earthquake,
the largest in recorded history.
I think you might be right.
The news; There have been reports
of landslides, roads cracking, sinkholes.
Do you think these could be related?
Yes. Yes, definitely.
I believe it's just a start.
I was afraid something
like this would happen.
So what do you suggest Dr. Watson?
I mean, how much time do we have?
Well, there's gonna be an increase
in preliminary tremors
over the next few hours.
There's likely to be destruction,
and potentially loss of human life.
The main earthquake I
think is likely to hit
in about five, six hours;
Six hours if we're lucky.
Not much time at all, then.
Thank you for the phone
call for Dr. Watson.
I, I really appreciate it.
I need to make some calls.
I need to make contact with the government
and make them aware.
We need to sort out an
evacuation of major cities
and there's bound to
be some civil arrests.
I mean, the public will panic.
What are your plans for evading impact?
I'm not sure yet.
I'm just on route to get my family there,
they're staying close to the epicenter.
You have a wife and three
daughters. Is that right?
Yes, that's right. How did you uh...?
Dr. Watson, it's my business
to know who I'm funding.
Look, I've been preparing
for a world altering
event for some time now.
I wasn't sure exactly what it would be,
an earthquake, a hurricane,
nuclear war, whatever!
But I knew it was best to be prepared.
I have a secure bunker outside of the city.
In the next five to six hours,
I'll be preparing it for the impact
and whatever may happen afterwards.
The rest of my team are
too far away to make it,
but I see if they can get
secure location elsewhere,
and we can monitor the
earthquake from there.
I'd like to offer you and your family
space within the bunker.
That's incredibly generous of you.
It's at least I can do.
I mean, if it wasn't for
this phone call Dr. Watson,
I wouldn't even know to get prepared.
The rest of my team too
far away to make it,
so I'll instruct them to
go to another location
and we'll monitor the
earthquake from there.
So what do you say?
Yes, definitely. Yes.
Love to take you up on the offer.
Good.
The doors will shut and
be sealed 10 minutes
before the earthquake hits.
If you're not inside by then,
I'm afraid I won't be able
to reopen the doors for you.
Understood.
We'll definitely be there.
I'll make sure of it.
Okay. Right.
Well, I'll send you over the details
and the location of the bunker now.
Dr. Watson.
I'll see you in a few hours.
Best of luck.
Thank you.
Hannah behind you!
You okay?
What was that?
I dunno.
Came out of nowhere, but I
think it might be an earthquake.
It must have been, just
like Dad always described,
all that shaking.
Do you think he felt it at work?
Maybe?
What about Mum?
You think she's still in the cave?
Hey, look, look we need to
head to the cabin, alright?
It's the only place that we've got signal.
We can, we can call Dad from there,
and hopefully Mum will be
back there by then anyway.
Yeah, good idea. But we should go quick.
If there's another quake,
we don't wanna be stuck
in these words. Go on.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Get away from there!
Hey! Get away from there!
Give us the keys.
Whoa. Let's just, let's just calm down.
I said, give us the damn keys!
I just wanna get to my family.
Shut up!
Shut up! And give us the
keys. We're taking the car.
I'll give you the keys. I'll trade you.
Just gimme the phone. I
need to call my family.
- And why should I do that?
- I can shoot you right now.
Look, it's my daughter.
She's stuck in the forest.
There's an earthquake!
We know about the earthquake!
Well then you know I'm not lying!
I'm gonna give you the keys.
I'm gonna go first, I'm
gonna put them down.
Just put down the phone as well, please.
You just, give me the
phone, just put it down.
You can, just put it
down. Just put it down.
No don't! Fuck!
I don't know what to do
any better than you do!
Oh Wait, it's Dad, it's Dad.
Dad? Dad, can you hear me?
Alice? It it's me.
Can you hear me?
Yeah, I can hear you, I can hear you.
Oh. Thank God. You're okay.
I've been trying to call you one morning.
Where's your sisters?
Erica and Hannah. They're,
they're here with me.
We're in the cabin, but
Mum, she's, she's not back.
She went caving with Amanda!
Caving?
Yeah.
Dad what's going on?
We were down by the lake and
it felt like an earthquake.
The ground started shaking
and the, the trees were falling!
We had to run through the forest!
I knew it.
Knew what? What is going on?
I need you to listen to me, Alice.
These are warning tremors.
There's an earthquake coming.
It's gonna hit really soon.
What? But what do you need us to do?
I'm coming to get you.
All of you. Just stay where you are. Okay?
Dad? What about Mum?
She's not back. I try, I try to phone her,
but her phone is dead.
What, what if she's...
She'd be okay. Your mum's tough.
She's probably on, on
the way to you right now.
Just, just gather up your things.
Get food, water, and get under a table.
There's gonna be more tremors.
Can you do that for me?
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Under the table. Got it.
Just take care of each other.
Just all three of you.
Just stay together and take
care of each other. Okay?
Yeah, we will.
Dad. How long have we got?
I'll get to you before. I promise.
Just stay where you are.
I love you Alice.
I love you too Dad.
See you soon. See you soon.
He's fine.
For fuck's sake. Gwen, come on.
What?
Well, what did he say?
He said there's gonna be an earthquake.
That what we felt by the
lake, and in the forest,
they were just warning tremors.
That the real thing; It's coming.
Then we need to find
Mum and Amanda then?
No, no Dad said that
we need to wait here.
What?
He said that we need to gather supplies
and we need to wait here.
Wait for Dad?
Mum is out there somewhere and
her and Amanda could be stuck
under something or worse.
Don't say that! But he
said, he's gonna come.
Okay? And he will be here.
No, we need to find them our self.
How are we gonna do that Erica?
We don't have a car!
We don't know where they've gone!
Yeah. Okay.
But what makes you think that Dad,
will be any better at
finding them than us?
We have to trust him.
He said that he's gonna be
here. So we're gonna wait.
And when his Dad ever kept his promises?
No do not pretend that you don't know
what I'm thinking about...
Erica!
No! Mum and Dad, Mum and
Dad are getting a divorce
because, because she sees it too.
Stop it!
Hannah, are you serious?
Yeah, you're wrong. Okay?
Like, yeah. Yeah, Mum and Dad,
they have had their issues.
I know.
And maybe they'll sort it out
and they'll get back together
or maybe they won't.
Okay. But he's our Dad.
And he told us to stay
here and wait for him.
So that is what I'm gonna do.
I know, I know you're angry.
We all are, but we can't hold grudges now.
He'll be here.
He will be. Now come on.
We need to get supplies. Okay?
Cut.
You're all okay?
I'm okay.
Hang on.
There's no way out is there?
We're trapped.
Ugh.
Girls.
Hey! Hey!
Wait! Please! Stop!
Is everything all right, love?
No not exactly, My
car's just been stolen
and I'm trying to get it to my family,
up on the cabin, up on the hill.
Oh yes. I know it, by the lake.
It's very pretty.
Yes. My, my wife and, and
three girls are up there.
Lovely.
Not exactly, there's an
earthquake coming and...
An, an earthquake did you say?
Is that what all this shakings been about?
Yes.
I thought that was my driving!
No, they're preliminary tremors.
There's an earthquake
expected sometimes soon.
Like I was saying,
is there any chance you could
give me a lift up there?
Well, we shouldn't drive up there.
There'll be landslides.
Please.
You have to understand,
my family's up there.
The cabin is right at the
epicenter of the earthquake.
This earthquake is probably
the largest we've ever seen.
Probably the largest in recorded history.
I have to get up there, I have
to get my family to safety
and I'm running out of time.
I've lost my car.
I was trying to walk up there.
So I'm begging you, please.
You know what?
Take my car.
Look. I can't.
You can, and you
must. It's the only way.
Wait, what are you?
You don't understand.
I understand completely, love.
It's more important for
you to save your family
than for me to save myself.
I've had a good life and who knows?
I may find somewhere to wait
out this earthquake of yours.
So go on.
Thank you.
So, so kind of you. You have
no idea what this means to me.
Just make sure you get to them on time.
I will and make sure you get some cover.
Get under a table, a door
frame, or a clearing ideally.
Just make sure you avoid
anything that can dislodge.
I'll do my best. Now go!
Thank you.
There's still nothing from Mum or Dad.
Do you think something happened to them?
It's already been two hours.
What if he's changed his mind?
What if he's just dead?
Don't say that. What are we gonna do?
Well we need to be smart about this.
Wait another 30 minutes.
And if they're still
not here, we have to go.
He said to stay here.
Erica's right.
You know, Erica, Erica's right Hannah.
On, look at this place.
We have to make a choice eventually.
Dad!
Thank God you're okay!
I don't know what I would've done
if anything had happened to you.
I'm so sorry.
I was so worried.
I didn't think you were
gonna come. I'm sorry.
I didn't think you were gonna come.
We thought something might've happened.
I'm okay.
We're all okay.
Where's your mum?
She's still not back yet.
Dad there's been so many tremors.
Yeah.
I felt the tremors.
We're gonna go to the cave.
We're gonna get Mother and Amanda.
We're gonna get outta here. Okay?
Alice, I need you to get me your phone.
I need it for minute.
Yeah, no, the nearest cave from here
is 15 minutes from us.
We're gonna go there first.
The car, out front, your
mum's, where the keys?
Yeah. They're they're
upstairs with her stuff.
Okay, good. Okay.
I'm gonna get the keys,
and you're gonna put
your things in the car.
Come on.
Mum? Mum!
Mum, can you hear us?
Mum, Mummy are you there?
Mum!
Girls? Is that you?
Don't worry. We're gonna get you out.
We'll we'll find a way to shift the rock.
Careful girls.
Girls? Is that you?
Gwen, we're gonna get you out.
Don't worry Mum!
How many people are in there?
Sam, the Caving Instructor
and his daughter Erin.
Amanda...
Amanda tried to run out,
but the rocks crushed her.
She's... she's.
Okay. Okay, Gwen, Gwen.
Let's just focus on trying
to get you outta there.
I'm gonna try and move
some of these rocks.
Sam says there's an
emergency kit in his rucksack.
Try in there!
I've got something.
Wait, what's that?
It's dynamite. Just, just
go back behind there. Quickly!
What's going on?
We're gonna move the rubble
out the way with the dynamite.
It's safe?
Yeah, it'll be fine.
It'll be fine. Just, just get, get
to the back of the cave
and find some shelter.
We're going back into the cave now!
Good!
We won't be able to hear you.
Good, okay.
Trust me! Just trust me, Gwen!
30 seconds, and, and you'll be outta here.
Gwen!
Mum! Mum!
Mummy are you okay?
Mum! Mum! You're okay!
You came back. You came back for us.
You and the girls are the
most important thing to me.
Help, help, my daughter's hurt!
Girls, get back to the car.
Please help!
Get back to the car.
She's tapped under a boulder!
Show me where.
Help me, help me, get me out!
It's okay
I can't feel my legs! Get me out!
Help, help's on the way, okay?
It's okay. It's okay.
Just gimme two minutes.
Okay? I'll be right back.
No! Don't leave me!
I'll be right back. Okay?
Help is coming, help is coming.
Daddy please don't leave
me I can't feel my legs!
Please! No, don't leave
me, don't leave me!
You gotta help me.
There's nothing we can do here.
You need to come back with me.
No no I can't leave her!
You need to come with
me, there's an earthquake.
It's gonna hit. Come.
No, no, no. I'm not leaving her!
I have to get to my girls.
It's your call.
Dad!
Help me! Please help me Dad!
- It's okay. I'm back.
- I'm not leaving you.
Don't mind, Darling, I'm not leaving.
Get me out.
Don't worry, I've got a plan. Okay?
I'm staying with you.
Okay.
- This is gonna be okay.
- I'm not leaving you.
Don't mind. Don't mind.
No, no, no! Get out of here!
No, no. I'm staying with you.
No get out!
I'm staying with you!
Will you get out of here! Get out!
I'm staying with you!
No you can't help me! Get out!
I'm staying with you!
- Get out of here!
- Get out of here! Get out!
Open this door Gwen!
So these are only the warning shakes?
The actual earthquake is going
to be even bigger than this?
If my calculations are correct, yes.
Not as dumb as you thought.
So twitty.
My benefactor, the person
who finances my work,
she's offered us a place in her bunker.
It'll be the safest place
to see out the earthquake.
Where is this bunker?
She gave me the address.
Look, it's there. This problem is that
the bridge is collapsed.
We'll take another route,
around the back. Some monastery.
Oh, look at that.
Well, look at that.
That's awful.
Mum watch out!
This is the end! This is the end!
Eternal damnation has come for us all!
Our souls are unclean,
and we must be reborn!
We will. Stay here.
- This is eternal damnation.
- It has come for us all.
Are you all right?
Sister is everything okay?
And only God can save us now!
Dad what's going on?
Stay in the car Erica!
Only God can save us now!
Get in that car!
- You don't understand.
- It's an earthquake.
Ground will shake and the...
Go! Go!
He will send his Four Horsemen!
What do we do help her?
Dad do we have time?
50 minutes till the earthquake hits.
We have to keep going.
Yeah.
Come on, come on.
Jesus Christ!
Come on! Quickly!
Come on!
There's one minute!
Come on, follow me!
Come on! Go on, keep moving!
Don't thank me yet.
We still have to survive the earthquake.
We need to head down the
tunnel to the inner bunker.
There's room for you and your family,
we can all shelter there.
- There's people outside.
- We have to help them.
We can't, the doors
are locked and sealed.
We have to do something!
There's nothing we can do.
Please. We have to move now.
Sorry. I'm sorry!
Come on!
Come on, careful on the stairs everyone.
When did you get this?
I've been putting this bunker
together for some years now
and though it's best to be safe,
but with everything that's
been going on in the world,
I was hoping not to have to use it.
Come on.
We should get one.
What happened here? It looks damaged.
It is, there was a
fire several years ago.
However, it's still
the safest place to be,
down the tunnel is the inner bunker,
is incredibly secure and it should be able
to withstand almost anything.
That's the signal!
Get down there quick, it's coming!
Go!
Quickly, everybody let's run!
Quickly!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on, quickly! Quickly everyone!
What's all this?
We have a satellite connection
to several cameras outside.
So we should be able to see
what's going on on the surface,
as the earthquake hits.
My team was at another location,
monitoring the earthquake from there.
Thank you so much
for letting our family
stay in your bunker.
It means so much.
You saved our family.
On the contrary, Mrs. Watson.
If it wasn't for your
husband, we'd all be dead.
What do you mean?
It was because of his predictions,
and his smart decision
to call and alert me,
that I was able to get
the bunker prepared.
If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't
have anywhere to shelter.
No, I Was just doing my job.
I was just doing my job.
You finance all of this.
I can't take any of the credit.
Well, clearly it was
very important work.
It was glad to be able to contribute.
Thank you.
You have a very fine man,
you know, Mrs. Watson.
There aren't many that be able to deal
with such a situation in such a calm way.
Oh, I will.
I have to be honest with you.
I almost didn't think you would make it.
I told you we would.
I'm very glad I was wrong.
Impact in 10 seconds.
Kay everyone. This is
it. Just hold on okay?
Okay everyone? This is it.
Is it over?
Is all of this done?
We made it. We did it.
It's not pretty. Is it?
- Is it safe to go outside?
- Can we open the door?
I'd rather not. There
could be aftershocks.
No, I think it's finished.
That was what it was all leading up to.
Can, can we outside?
Trust me.
It's over.
Come on girls.
If you're sure.
Girls let's go.
Look, look, wait.
I'll walk you as far as
the Bunker's entrance,
but after that, you're on your own.
I need to come back here.
I need to make sure that my team made it.
At the other location.
Okay. Right then. Let's go.
Jesus.
Judging by the damage here,
what we see beyond those doors is likely
to be larger than anything
we've ever estimated.
Come on Meredith.
Come on.
God, help everyone else outside there.
Mum? Mum what's that?
It's just a
generator! I can fix it!
Come! Meredith no!
Meredith! Come!
Dad! Dad!
Dad! Dad! Dad!
There's a ridge up there.
We might be able to see the city from it.
Let's go.
What do we do now?
We live.
Do you reckon we'll find WiFi?
Think my coat might still be there?
I wish I was an only child.
