[panting, groaning.]
[coughs.]
Oh, God damn it.
[panting, groaning.]
Oh, God damn it.
No.
Not now.
[panting.]
Not now! - Dad, Dad! - Dana! Can you hear me? Dad, Matt, I'm here! Follow my voice! Dad, Matt, Brianna! Follow my voice! Do you hear me? - Where are you? - Walk towards me! - I can't see you! - Getting closer, come on! This way! [coughing.]

Oh, no.
Come on! Over here! Come towards me! Help! Help me! - Now! Get inside! - Dad! - I can't hold door! - Then don't! Dad, get out of the door! Matt, give me those respirators quick.

Now.
- You guys, work together.
Dad! Come back! [door locks.]
[both panting.]
[power whines up.]
Okay.
We got to find some way out.
- We don't want to get out.
- What do you want to do? Hang out here with the recycling? No.
We stay here until Dad gets Dana.
As long as the air is breathable.
That vent leads outside.
Outside is poisonous.
And dad took the respirators.
[dramatic music.]
# # [ominous music.]
[coughing.]
Come on! No! [grunting.]
Come on! Dana! Dana, call out to me! Dana! [crying, grunting.]
Where are you? [crying.]
Dana! Where are you? Dana! Come on.
Please.
Please, please, please don't.
Call out to me! Please.
Dad, Dad, come on.
Please, Mom.
Mom, help me.
[crying, coughing.]
# # Dana, I got you.
It's okay.
- It's okay.
- Dad.
- I got you.
I got you.
- Dad! You got to put on the respirator, okay? No.
Help me open it.
- No, I can't - Yes, you can! I can't! Help me open it! - No - The air's poison.
I know about silicates, Dad.
I can't put that on.
- Why not? - Because it makes me - claustrophobic, okay? - Damn it.
If you don't put this on, you're gonna die.
I know.
I just I can't.
No! - Come here.
- No, Dad, no! I can't do it.
- Yeah.
You can.
- No, Dad.
Don't.
Don't make me, please.
No.
Take it off.
Take it off! [coughing, crying.]
Look at me.
Just breathe slow.
All right.
All right.
Breathe slow so you don't vomit in there.
All right, good girl.
Good girl.
Good girl.
All right.
All right you're good.
Good girl.
[creature shrieking.]
- [screams.]
- Get down.
Get down.
Hurry.
Oh, God.
It's coming for us! [screams.]
[panting.]
Don't trigger a slide.
[rumbling.]
Nice and easy.
[grunting.]
Easy, easy.
[rumbling.]
Come on! [rumbling.]
[growls.]
[rumbling.]
Ooh.
[coughing.]
[panting.]
[creature roaring.]
[rumbling.]
Matt is outside.
- It's definitely down.
- It's coming.
Well, it's not gonna get in here.
I watched it carry off a horse, okay.
If it wants to get in here, it will.
What are you doing? - I'm looking for documentation.
- What for? For the bunker.
How to get the door open.
We don't want it open.
Keep it closed.
- Dad and Dana are outside.
- Listen to me.
Okay, rushing out is not gonna help.
Okay, Dad probably found Dana, and now they're hiding, like the smart thing to do.
Matt, get away from the God damn door! - Dad said to work together.
- And we will find them.
[clanging.]
You listen to me.
Matt! [grunts.]
- What the hell? - Stop reacting.
Start thinking.
[creature roars.]
[rumbling.]
God damn it! [groans, panting.]
[groans.]
[clanging.]
Hello? Hey! Flashlight, do you hear me? - I'm here! - Oh, thank God.
Can you move? Yeah, I think you're below me.
- I can try to come down there - But don't, no.
God you don't It'll trigger a slide.
- Understood.
- Okay.
Who are you? Bailor.
Colin Bailor.
I was up on the mountain.
We knew there'd been increased seismic activity, - but we weren't - Colin, shut up.
Okay.
Look around you.
What is the terrain? There's a ledge.
Rocks are it looks stable.
- I'm not going anywhere.
- All right, I'm coming to you.
[chuckles.]
You wouldn't happen to have a rope would you? Today's your lucky day.
[chuckles.]
Okay.
Secure the other end.
Already done.
Great.
Hang on, dude.
[grunting.]
Hanging on.
[grunting.]
Ohh! [grunting.]
- Hold on.
- You can do it! You can do it! [both grunting.]
What are you, a weakling piece of shit? - Get me up! - Come on! - Get me up! - Pull! - Come on.
You can! - I can't do it! I can't do it! You got it! Yes, yes.
Oh, oh.
[both panting.]
[gun cocks.]
Wha Ugh! You made it.
- Who are you? - I'm a volcanologist.
I was studying Rainier.
In the middle of the Apocalypse? Volcanoes are pretty apocalyptic in general.
I must have slid.
I don't know how far.
I don't know.
How'd you end up here? None of your business.
- Open your mouth.
- What? - Open your mouth.
- [grunts.]
Let me see under your tongue.
Eh.
Sorry to do that.
Okay.
I think I can get us out.
I know the caves.
Deal? You and me? [breathing shakily.]
[wind howling.]
[creature roars.]
- Okay.
Keep the mask on.
- No.
Don't.
There's no ash coming in here, and I may die if I keep it on.
It's too close.
It's too close.
It's too close.
[creature roaring.]
No, it's in trouble.
I don't think it cares much about us right now.
[roaring.]
Breathe in.
Yeah, steady.
Nice and steady.
There you go.
All right.
I want you to put the mask back on, okay? No.
I swallowed some ash.
I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
[whimpers.]
Throwing up's not the worst thing.
Let it out.
[coughing.]
[roaring.]
It's moving away.
- No, it's dying.
- Good.
Even better.
[creature roaring.]
Okay.
Let's put the masks on.
Come on.
- No.
- Come on.
No.
[crying.]
[ominous music.]
# # We're gonna start a fire.
We're gonna what? We're gonna start a fire, to deplete the oxygen, and then the door will open.
Yeah, and open it to a monster outside.
Have you completely lost your shit? You said to think.
I'm thinking.
Matt, don't light anything on fire.
Nice.
Dick move.
Bree, if we don't go outside, Dad and Dana die quick, and we probably die slow.
Just trust me.
So the fire sucks all the oxygen and that makes the door open? Let's hope so.
This is some desperate shit.
It'll work.
- We can't leave them out there.
- Yeah.
We were checking our instruments on this face.
We flipped a coin.
I could have just as easily been on the western slope.
- Who is "we?" - There was a group of us.
I don't know what happened to the others.
Francine and I dove in when the lahar hit.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
That's Francine.
- I'm sorry.
- She was a good woman.
She's a passable scientist, but a great girl.
- She deserved better.
- Yeah.
So do we.
- So what happened? - We must have fell.
I don't know how far.
Rainier it has a lot of ice, and the eruption must have melted it and mixed it with ash, and I think that's what's sealing us in, but it's also what's keeping us alive.
- How? - Well, oxygen passes through water.
Plus, the ice that hasn't melted is keeping the temperature in here down.
- How do we get out? - There's an extensive cave system through the southeastern slope.
I think we have to go further in.
Find another passage out.
We're blocked at this elevation.
I'm not liking the sound of that plan.
The map's up here.
I mean ah! - What happened to your leg? - Broke it when I fell.
- Your leg is broken? - It's definitely broken.
So you're not walking out of here? Not fast, no.
Don't leave me here, okay? Shit.
Don't abandon me.
- I'm not gonna abandon you.
- Okay.
- Nobody gets left behind.
- Okay.
Matt, why can't I breathe? The fire's eating up the oxygen.
Shit.
Science sucks.
[both panting.]
I'm an idiot.
Tell me about the Bowie concert - What? - You went to with Ollie.
He played the The one with "He tore your dress.
" "Rebel, Rebel.
" What else? Uh There was, uh, Ziggy "Heroes.
" The bass player played the part with him.
Pressure.
[alarm sounds.]
[door unlocks.]
[both coughing.]
Go, Matt, go! [roars.]
[gun cocks.]
[ominous music.]
# # Oh, my God, I hate these things.
Don't touch it! Oh, my God.
Come on.
- It's fine.
Come on.
- Just leave it.
Dana! - The volcano calmed down.
- Dad! - Dana! - Dana! God, I hope the road's okay.
Right here.
[coughing.]
- Oh, my God! Dana! - Help him.
You got You got to help him.
It's okay.
I got him.
I got him.
# # - Can you breathe? Are you okay? - [coughing.]
- Yeah.
- Dad! Dad, can you hear me? Can you stand up? - [groans.]
- You all right? - You good on your feet? - I've been better, but yeah.
- I'm good.
- It's over, huh? Yeah.
- The Q bird is dead.
- The what? The Q thing.
The The Quetzalcoatl? Yes, yes.
- Bree, get her inside.
- Come on.
We have to find the keys first.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
# # [sniffs.]
[chuckles.]
It's prehistoric.
From another place.
Where did it come from? I don't know.
We were inside.
- There to the west? - I guess.
Look, Brianna was freaking out.
I was trying to take care of that.
- It died facing due east.
- I don't know.
What does any of this matter? No animal that flies would ever land in a tailwind.
It chose to land due east.
[rumbling.]
Hang in there.
Sorry.
He needs this more than you.
- Okay.
Where is it? - It's in the-yeah.
- Okay.
- Oh, yes.
I'm gonna need this.
All right.
Hold this.
- Yeah.
- All right? Good.
Okay.
You got it? Oh, yeah.
You ever had morphine? You're in for a treat.
- Okay.
- My sister taught me how to do this.
[breathing shakily.]
Here we go.
Here we go.
[shudders.]
- Okay.
- Right here.
- Yeah.
- Big breath.
[inhales, exhales deeply.]
Nice and easy.
Nice and easy.
[groaning.]
Here we go.
Here we go.
Oh, yeah.
Ohh.
Ahh.
Now we can put a splint on that leg, and it won't hurt.
Stick with me.
Stick with me.
- Yeah, yeah.
- [groaning.]
Enjoy it, but don't pass out.
Here we go.
Ohh.
That was the easy part.
Ooh ahh.
Shh, shh.
Shh, shh.
[groaning.]
- Ready now? - Yeah.
[bone pops.]
[screams.]
[whimpering.]
Yeah.
Yeah, baby.
Okay? Take a breath.
[breathing quickly.]
One more turn.
[bone cracks.]
- [screams.]
- It's on.
It's on.
- [whimpering.]
- First one's done.
First one? How are you feeling? I'm trying not to think about silicosis.
You get it from volcanic ash, and it's like breathing in glass.
Yeah, well, it sounds like you have to take a long time to get sick, so you were only outside for 40 minutes.
You're fine.
- Had a dream about her.
- Who? Mom on the volcano.
She's still alive, Bree.
I'm gonna wet this.
- Did you hear me? - You should sleep, Dana.
- Brianna - Stop.
Stop talking.
She survived inside a cave in the volcano, and she's trying to get back to us.
Don't make it harder.
- What? - Dana, it blew up.
You You don't you don't survive that.
- No one survives that.
- Well, you don't know.
She could You don't know! Don't do that.
- Do what? - Dana thing.
I am barely keeping my shit together.
Barely, and you're doing that thing.
As long as there's hope, we don't give up on each other.
She's gone.
She went up a mountain, and I can't even tell you why.
But what if she saved us? It blew up.
Dana, the mountain blew up.
She's gone! But we survived.
What if that's what she wished for on the prayer wheel thing? There's still hope.
Dana, hope is not a plan.
Hope is bullshit.
So enough.
Mom's gone.
You know, when you were taken by a skinwalker I knew you were still alive too.
[grunting.]
- Come on! - No.
No, no, no.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Stop, stop.
This is impossible.
No.
[both panting.]
- Come on.
Come on.
- No, no, no, no.
Don't leave me.
Don't leave me.
Just give me a second.
You're not exactly a ballerina.
I'm sorry.
It's gonna be faster if I go alone.
- I'll circle back around.
- No, it's hopeless.
I don't do "hopeless.
" No, no, no.
No, no, no.
Please don't! Don't! Don't! Come on, kid.
You're gonna bring the mountain down on us.
Don't leave me! Please! [breathing hard.]
[grunts.]
Aah! Bailor! There's a way out.
[rumbling.]
[rocks tumbling.]
[crashing.]
[rumbling.]
[stifled crying.]
[sniffles.]
- What? - Nothing.
- Dana, you're crying.
- I don't cry.
You know that.
- Bengt Larsen.
- Who? Grade nine.
Goofy Danish kid.
- Oh, my God.
- No.
I went to one movie with him, and you cried in the shower for a whole week.
- But you knew I liked him.
- Doesn't matter.
Dana, you cried for Bengt.
It is okay to cry for Mom.
I'm not crying for Mom.
She's alive.
I'm crying for Martin, okay? So leave me alone.
- Don't do that.
Stop.
- Why? It is taking everything I have every day to not cry for Devyn.
Okay, we are too young for this.
We're 16 years old and people have died for us.
That's not right.
We're like widows.
[scoffs.]
We're not widows.
Actually I spoke too soon.
We are widows.
I know.
And I think we're 17, not 16.
- Our birthday was last week.
- You serious? I can't keep track anymore.
I don't know what's going on.
I-I think there's something wrong with time.
When were you taken by the skinwalker? I don't know.
Like, three months ago? Right.
I think it was ten days, but even I'm not sure.
Devyn knew you for a week, and he died rather than hurt you.
Martin knew me for three days, but we would have spent the rest of our lives together.
It was all real, but it happened in so much less time than usual that I think something is wrong.
- With time? - Yes.
I don't get it.
What is this telling you? I have no idea.
I don't understand why it's so important to be smart.
You have no answers.
At least I haven't thought about Martin in two minutes.
It's more than I get with Devyn.
It's progress I guess.
- Brianna? - Coming.
Hey, Brianna, turn that over.
Try that.
[engine grinding, turns over.]
Not bad.
- Okay, let's go.
- Pack it up.
Let's go.
[ominous music.]
[panting.]
I told you, you couldn't get out of here.
Stupid soldier.
[laughs.]
- I came back didn't I? - Yeah.
You did, but it doesn't matter, 'cause we're gonna die here.
- We're not gonna die.
- Yeah, we are.
- We're not gonna die! - We're gonna die here! - We're not gonna die! - Yes, we will! - Bailor! - You killed her! - We're gonna die! - Don't make me die! I don't want to die! I want to be with You ought to get right with God.
- I want to see my family! - We will die.
We're gonna die.
- Ah! - You'll never see them.
Never see them again.
It's the end, Karen.
[laughing.]
And you know what? I'm good with it.
I'm good with it.
'Cause neither of us are coming off of this mountain! [rumbling, rocks crumbling.]
[grunts.]
Soldier.
You're a soldier.
[laughing.]
Dana, we're getting out of here.
- I need to show you something.
- What? Science? 'Cause I don't like science.
Mom took a locator up the mountain with her, and I just turned the receiver on.
- Do you know where that is? - Yeah.
It's, um What, Dana? It's on the other side of the mountain about a quarter-mile up.
There's glaciers there which would keep it cool and give her water, and her position is on a known series of caves.
So she could have survived? I don't know, but it's worth going back to find out.
- What's going on? - Dana thinks that - Based on Mom's last position - That she could be alive, and I agree with her.
We have to go look.
- The volcano is still active.
- So? I can't take you back into danger to look for her.
She'd kill me.
Well, you came back out to save me.
What would she think about that? She'd expect nothing less.
There's your answer.
- Oh.
- So we're going back.
- Shotgun.
- Both: Shotgun.
- Don't push.
- Shove over.
[Bailor laughing.]
What are you looking for? - Meaning.
- [laughing.]
It's so hot.
It's like the sun in here.
I'm sorry if the active volcano is making you feel uncomfortable.
- You're a mean drunk.
- It's not me.
That's the morphine talking, and it's doing just fine! [echoes.]
Making you feel uncomfortable.
[water running.]
[ominous music.]
# # [laughter echoing eerily.]
- All right.
- What's that? Huh? The family bird? [screeching.]
[gasps.]
You can stop that anytime you want.
[laughter echoing eerily.]
Hey, not everything's about you.
You.
[laughter echoing eerily.]
Stop it! Don't you recognize me? You'd think you'd remember.
You took Dana.
You took my daughter.
[laughter echoing eerily.]
You remember now! I killed you! Yes, you did.
[laughter echoing eerily.]
You threatened my daughter.
I never saw your girl.
You killed me anyway.
I did what I had to do.
I have something for you.
Here.
Take it.
It's your bullet.
The one you blew into my back.
I didn't kill anybody! I didn't kill anybody! Bitch.
[laughing.]
It's still hot when it hits you.
You know that? It's still hot.
It pulverizes, burns away skin, and then comes the trauma.
Take back your bullet.
I knew my spine was shattered.
Flesh and bone, together.
And the last thing was the fall.
It's time to accept your fate.
Stop it.
Killer.
Selfish.
Demon.
It's time to accept your fate.
[laughing.]
Stop it.
Stop it.
Killer.
[laughing.]
[laughter continues.]
[laughter stops.]
[rocks clinking.]
Okay.
I can't change everything.
I accept it.
Mom! Mom! [indistinct shouting.]
Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Dad, I see her! Mom! Mom, it's okay.
We're coming.
Mom, we're coming.
Don't worry! We're coming.
It's okay, Mom, we're coming.
[quietly chuckles.]
Be careful.
Thank God you found me.
Dana found you, Mom.
She used the She knew.
Of course you knew.
Of course you knew.
- What's this? - Oh.
Mom, what is that? I'll explain it to you someday.
Okay.
Well, we should get some water in you.
- Yeah.
- You got to eat, Mom.
I know.
I know.
Let's just go home, okay? - Can we go home, please? - Right.
- We can go home.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yes, we are.
We're gonna go home, but we're gonna catch up - for five minutes first.
- Okay.
Um - how did you survive? - Matt almost killed me.
- Yeah, except I saved you.
- And then Dad saved me.
- And then Dana saved you.
- Yeah, but then who was arguing with Dana and it made her figure out where Mom was, so technically I saved you.
Well, thank you.
So what happened with that that monk person? - Was he Was he real? - I don't know.
I don't know, honestly.
The prayer wheel is definitely real.
- It killed Jane.
- Oh, my God.
I don't know.
Somehow she was relieved.
- And the monk? - [sighs.]
I'm glad I met him.
[chuckles.]
Where's Martin? Oh, honey.
Oh, my girl.
I'm so sorry.
[crying.]
- How's it looking? - No ash.
Wind must have blown it north of here.
So then the farm's not wrecked? - We get it back? - It looks that way.
[exhales sharply.]
Matt, we're going home.
Oh, my God.
Do you know how many nights I dreamed about this? - All of 'em.
- Every single one.
I swear to you I am never leaving home again.
I think you might get bored.
Yeah, well me and Devyn used to talk about it, right? And, um, he knew everything about farming.
And I mean, like, everything.
He would have come and lived with us, and he would farm like crazy.
Like, he would have loved it.
Totally.
- And you're gonna help? - Okay.
- Don't make it sound stupid.
- I'm not.
Look, people change.
I changed.
No, you didn't.
Not to me.
It's all right.
I was ready to be myself.
You were always yourself.
I don't I never would have thought that I could kill people, Matt.
And you know what? It was easy.
Okay, I wasn't wrong.
It was just it was It was one more thing.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry about Dev.
I know.
But, hey, I was I was willing to change, so maybe Dana can be the new wild one.
Now, that will be the sign of the Apocalypse.
[laughs.]
Yeah.
Dana with eyeliner.
Could you imagine? End times, huh? - He was a good guy.
- Martin? - He was an Army Ranger.
- What's that? It's about the best thing you can be when you're in the Army.
- So it's good? - Are you kidding? It's fantastic.
Well, she earned him.
She's fantastic.
Have you noticed it's the end of the world, and you can't buy a date? Have you noticed that you're alive, and maybe you'd like to stay that way? Matt, we're home.
Well, that's not what we hoped.
- Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
I'm gonna go wake up your mother.
God, what is that smell? Is that salt? Somebody salted our farm.
Every single plant is uprooted.
It's like they used a tractor.
- We'll replant.
- It reeks of salt.
Nothing's gonna grow here for years.
Someone put a lot of effort into this.
- Yeah, like Feverheads.
- Who else has the energy? - [groans.]
- I spent so much time trying to get away from this place.
I'm so sorry, Mom.
[crying.]
My farm! My farm! - Get the shotgun.
- Happy to.
[screaming.]
Hey, that's Rob Halderson.
[shotgun cocks.]
And Corinne.
Forget the shotgun.
Corinne.
Karen, I'm so sorry.
They burned our farm four days ago.
- Who? Who did? - I don't know.
I don't know.
We ran away.
[Rob indistinctly screaming.]
Rob already had the blood in his mouth And when when we came back he'd burned our house, and killed all the cattle, and it was just It was such a shock that he went bad right away.
[screaming.]
- I'm sorry.
- He went bad right away.
- Sorry.
- He kept saying, "I'm gonna get even with them.
I'm gonna get even with them.
" - Oh, so he did all this, huh? - It's the fever.
He would have killed me if I tried to stop him.
Honey, he's gonna kill you anyway.
You know how to use this? [Rob grunting.]
Yes.
Take it.
You're gonna need to.
You be careful.
- Let's get out of here.
- What are you doing? - We're leaving? - Yeah.
Yeah we are.
Yeah, what are you, crazy? That's our home.
What's your plan? I figure out that I love this place, and you're taking it away? Look, I'm kind of a slow learner, but when I get something I get it.
Everything here belongs to the past.
It's not ours.
- [screams.]
- [whimpers.]
The only thing we have for ourselves is tomorrow.
So that's where we're gonna go.
[Rob screaming.]
Okay.
[Rob screaming continues.]
- Saddle up.
- Yeah.
- Where we going? - I don't know.
You know in the cave there were drawings on the wall.
Some of them looked like they were our family, but there was one of Like that Q bird Quetzalcoatl.
What was it doing? It was It was flying toward a red sun.
Red sun.
That's a Chinese ideogram.
Means dawn or east.
- Okay.
- Which is interesting because during the eruption Matt and Brianna This Quetzalcoatl landed near them and it was deliberately facing to the east.
Facing the east.
So maybe they're not demons? They never attacked us.
They've only taken animals for food.
So maybe they're working for us.
Harbingers? You think it's sexy when you use big words? - No, "harbinger" just - I know.
It foresha Foreshadowing I know what a harbinger is.
[creature roars.]
[dramatic music.]
# # - Should we follow it? - I'll go wherever you go.
Come on.
What's that? I don't know.
