Ladies and gentlemen, please be calm! Don't push!
Please...
Don't push!
Don't push! It's okay! Please!
- You okay? You all right? - Harry, go this way!
- Stan, look at this! - Why look at computers when you can look at the real thing?
Greg, my sticks!
It looks like it's about to blow its top!
This is not good. This is not good!
You okay?
- Oh, my God! - Oh, no!
I've gotta get to the kids.
- Go! Go, go!
Watch out!
- Paul, come in.
Paul? Can anybody hear me? Paul?
- Paul, come in. Come in. - Look at that.
Paul? Can anybody hear me? Come in?
Harry. Harry, we hear you. Where are you?
I'm heading to Rachel's to get her kids. Once I've done that, I'm gonna come back down...
- and help you pack out, okay? - All right, Harry, listen.
For whatever it's worth, you were right and I was wrong.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay. I'll see you later.
She's blowin'! She's goin'!
Look ahead.
Get out of the way!
Somebody, help!
- Where do we go? - It's completely blocked. Go left.
- I'm goin'. I'm goin'. - Left, Harry!
Look out! Jesus!
Shit!
- Make a right. Go down the alley!
Come on. Come on.
Harry, my truck's not there.
Graham?
Lauren?
Put on your seat belt.
- Do you know how to do all the gears? - Yeah.
Graham? Lauren?
- Oh God, they went up the mountain! - Let's go. Let's go. Let's go!
- Any other way across that bridge? - No!
You're out of your mind. Oh, you're out of your mind.
It's okay.
- Harry? - Okay, hang on.
- It's okay.
- There's water coming in. - This rig can take it. The engine's got a snorkel.
Oh, God. Look at those cars!
They're crazy! They'll never make it!
- We're stuck? - I know.
Nothin'.
Harry? See that car coming at us?
I see it.
- Is he gonna hit us? - No, we're all right. Hold on.
- We're all right.
- Jesus.
- I can't see through the ash. - Maybe you oughta turn the lights on.
- They are on. - Make the windshield wipers go faster?
I don't know how.
- It's that thing there. - Don't touch things! You're gonna mess something up.
- Like what? - I don't know. Something!
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
- Hey, wait for me!
Uh-oh. Looks like our asshole pilot plans on flying people outta here.
If he gets any of that ash sucked up into his engine, he's had it.
- He's gettin' 15,000 bucks cold cash. - Wait!
Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
No, no, no! Wait! Wait!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Can't this thing go any faster?
- Shit!
- What is it? - Shut up!
- What's the damn light?
What the hell?
Where are we?
- Rachel, where are we? - Uh, top of Exeter.
Greg? Stan? Come in.
We're at the top of Exeter Street. There's a chopper down. Send the fire services.
Jesus! Okay, Harry.
There's nothing we can do. We've gotta go get your kids.
- Okay. - Greg, come in.
It's Harry. Rachel's kids have gone up the mountain. We're gonna go get them.
Harry, we don't think you have enough time. Do you copy?
We do not think you have enough time!
- Grandma! Grandma! - Grandma!
- What are you doing here? - We came to get you out.
- What? - Get in the truck! Now!
- You drove up here all by yourself? - We had to!
- Your mama's gonna kill you.
- Roughy!
- We'll get her. Roughy! - Roughy!
Come on, Roughy! We gotta go!
Kids, get back here, now!
God Almighty, what were they thinking?
How are they gonna get through this?
- Ah! Harry! Oh! - I got it.
- Harry, watch out! - It's okay.
Oh, God!
- The road's gone. It's gone.
Lauren! Graham!
Lauren!
Graham!
Lauren!
- We're coming! - We're here!
- I'm sorry, Mom.
Roughy ran away. It wasn't just Graham's fault. It was my idea too.
I am so mad at you!
Children, inside, out of the ash. Ruth. Ruth, it's okay.
Stop looking at me like it's my fault.
Now, just take the kids, get back in your truck and go home.
We would if we could, but a landslide's wiped out the entire road behind us.
We've had plenty of minor eruptions. Maybe we're over the hump.
- Yeah, I hope. - Get real, Beavis.
She's just clearing her throat. She hasn't even started to sing yet.
- Paul, it's Harry. Is anyone there? - Harry, where are you?
We're at Mirror Lake at the lodge. The road's down, but we're okay.
This is turning into something really catastrophic.
- I'll send a helicopter as soon as the ash clears away. - Paul, get the hell outta there.
- Don't wait for us. - You're breaking up. Say again.
Paul, don't...
Get outta there, now. Please!
- Harry, are you there? - Maybe his battery's dead.
I'm gonna stay as long as I can, but I want you guys to leave right now.
No way, Paul. We're not gonna walk out on God's big show, right?
Not a chance.
- This mountain's never gonna hurt us. - You're a fool. Come on.
Oh, God. This was taken the summer we built this place.
- Brian was six months old. - No time for a trip down memory lane.
Rachel, Ruth, come on. We gotta go. Have you got everything?
Okay, children, let's go.
Move!
Go! Come on, Ruth!
- Come on, Mom! Come on! - Into the water!
Go, children, go, go.
Get in the boat. That's it.
- Oh, my God! Oh, my God! - Lauren.
Get in. Get in! Get in!
We can't leave Roughy!
- Roughy! Roughy!
Roughy!
Mom, the fish, they're all dead.
Graham! Don't touch the water!
Lauren, come sit over here, sweetie. That's it, sweetheart.
Okay, everybody put your feet up.
Ruth, put your feet up, please.
Volcanic activity has turned the lake to acid.
- Acid eats metal. - Hmm?
- Is the boat gonna sink? - No, no, no, sugar. It's not gonna sink.
Hey, if you're scared, you can have my crystal.
- I can have it? - Yeah.
Thank you.

Oh, shit! Oh, shit.
We lost the prop.
- No. - We lost the prop.
Okay, don't worry, all right?
Go up there with Grandma. That's a good girl. Quickly as you can.
- Keep your feet up. - Come on, darling. Careful.
Keep your feet up. Keep your feet up.
- We're very, very close. - Graham, move over there and keep the boat in balance.
- Get up there and balance the boat. - We're very close. Very close.
- Is this boat sinking?
- It's okay.
- Keep trying. - Grandma, the boat's sinking!
No, it's not gonna sink, sweetie pie. We're very close.
Mom, we're sinking!
We're sinking! We're sinking!
- The boat's sinking. - Keep your feet up.
We're sinking!
- The boat's sinking! - No, it isn't.
- We're not gonna make it!
Sit right there and you hold on tight.
Children, stay put! Ruth! Get in! Ruth!
- Ruth, get in! Get in! Come on! - No!
- Children! Children!
Ruth, get to shore!
Ruth, get out!
- I got her. I got her. You're okay. - Grandma!
Grandma! Grandma!
- Grandma?
She's gonna be okay. Kids, just give us some room.
- Grandma? - Go on now.
- Take your sister. That's a good boy. - Graham.
Take care of Lauren. Take care of her.
Look at her legs.
Ruth, we're gonna get you down. We're gonna get you down.
- We gotta help Grandma. - It's okay.
- Let me just talk to the children. - Oh, please.
- I don't want Grandma to die. - I know.
- Is Grandma gonna die? - We're all okay.
Oh, dear God. Oh, God.
- Where's the lieutenant? - He's over here in this vehicle.
Boy, you're a sight for sore eyes. Lieutenant, I want you to take your men,
sweep every building in town, top to bottom.
- Everybody out, let's go! - Get everybody on the truck and out.
This thing's gonna blow.
- Just hold on.
Stop, please. Please, stop!
- Here you go.
Hang on, Ruth, you're gonna be okay.
- Hold on.
Here, Grandma. Have my crystal.
Oh, ladybug, that's so nice, but you keep it for your luck, okay?
Okay.
Oh, God, Ruth.
I'm so sorry for what I said to you up there. I really didn't mean it. I just...
You're right what you said. I am a fool.
No, you're not.
My son's the biggest fool of all.
He never should've run off and hurt you all like that.
If anybody's a fool, Ruth, it's me,
'cause I don't think I ever really gave you a chance.
Hang on, Grandma. It's just another two miles to the ranger station.
I don't think I have another two miles left in me, Ace.
- It's okay. - No, Grandma.
I get to stay on my mountain.
- No.
Grandma?
Ruth?
I got the van! You go with these fellas!
Harry? Harry, I don't know whether you can hear me. It's Paul.
Harry, the bridge is about to go. We got everybody out.
- We got everybody...
Take care. Take great care.
Okay, there you go.
There's no keys.
Here we go. Yeah.
- Oooh!
Dreyfus!
- Paul!
Come on. Come on.
- Come on. - Paul! Come on. Get out!
- Get out!
- Paul! Paul! - You gotta jump!
You gotta jump!
Come on!
- Hey, Paul! - Paul!
- Come on. - We're running out of time. Let's go.
Hurry!
What the...
Great.
Just great.
- Can we drive across there? - I don't know.
- Kids, why don't you get in the back?
Okay.
- Go on, Lauren. - Go... in the back.
Okay... here we go.
- No, Mommy!
- Harry, we're on fire. - The truck's on fire!
We're burning!
- Mommy? - Hold on.
We're stuck in the lava!
- Ooh! - More lava's comin' down the hill!
Mommy! What are we gonna do? Mommy!
It's okay! It's okay!
- Come on! Come on! - Please.
Yes! Yes!
There's Roughy!
- Where? - Right there!
- We have to help her. - I gotta get her.
- Go get her. Go.
- Roughy! - Only gonna get one chance at this!
- Come on, Roughy, jump! Jump!
- Yes!
Eight years it took us to get this town on its feet.
You wouldn't believe the struggle.
Look at it.
Our house is gone.
There's no other way out of town.
We're reporting live from Dante's Peak, where they're evacuating the town.
Bring her back! All the way back!
- Keep moving! - She's gotta go soon.
- Oh, my God!
Wait.
Okay. We're outta here.
- What do we need this for? - Might just come in handy.
- Mom, what is that? Mom? - What is that?
That is a pyroclastic cloud.
- Mommy. - It's okay, baby.
Mom, it's coming!
- Mom! - Oh, my God!
Don't look back, kids! Don't look back!
- Mom, it's right behind us! - Oh, sweet Jesus!
- Get down, kids! Get down!
Oh, my God.
- So long, Harry. - Oh, no.
So long.
Watch your eyes, children. Watch your eyes.
- Lauren! Graham. Talk to me. - Mommy?
You all right, baby? Graham? Graham, talk to me.
All right, we gotta get out of here. Can you do it? You can do it.
- Here we go. - Grab her, Harry!
- I got her. Out we go, sweetheart. - Graham.
Stand right there, darling. Okay, all right. Come on up, Graham.
- Rachel, come on! - Mom!
Come on, Roughy.
- Roughy!
Graham, you lead the way. I want you to show us the way to your hideout.
- Come on.
- Come on, Mom. Roughy!
Roughy?
- Oh, boy.
Here are flashlights.
Um, I have some chips and some crackers and some drinks back here.
All right, let's check out the damage.
- My head hurts. - I know, baby. So does mine.
- Oh, no. I forgot E.L.F. I left it in the truck. - What do you need that for?
It's a transmitter designed by NASA. We were testing it for them.
I was hoping it would send a signal so people would realize we were down here.
- I'm gonna go back and get it. - I'll come with you.
- No, stay here. It's a lot safer. - What if you get lost?
Graham, just stay here, okay? Look after your sister and your mother.
We're not gonna get out, are we?
Oh, yes, we are, baby. Yes, we are.
- Come here.
Come here. Just sit down a second. Sit down a second.
All right. Listen, now.
Have you ever been deep-sea fishing?
- No. - Good. Neither have I.
So, when we get out of here... and we will get out of here...
what do you say we go down to Florida, we get ourselves a boat,
and we stock it with all the nicest, yummiest things...
we can possibly get our hands on,
and we go out there and we catch ourselves a big, old, fat fish?
Hmm? Does that sound good?
It sounds good, Harry.
Yeah, Harry, it sounds great.
Okay, stay here.
I'll be back in a flash. Chins up. Okay.
Uh, Graham,
you think you could find some rope so we could tie up Roughy?
Yeah.
Let's fix you up, okay?
And maybe some water so we can clean these cuts up.
- Harry!
- No! - Harry!
Get back! Get back!
Rachel!
- Rachel!
Rachel!
Aah!
Ooh. Oh, shit.
Oh, my... God.
- Aah!
- Terrific. - Thank you.
- Frank? - Yeah?
- How long's this light been blinking? - Don't know. A day or two.
Thank you, NASA.
Thank you, NASA. Thank you, NASA. Thank you, NASA!
All right, you can get out now. You're all set. All right.
Just give me your hand.
Oh, hang on!
Sir!
Get the crutches.
- I think they got him!
Harry! Harry! Hey, man, we thought you were toast!
- Are you all right? - Yeah, I'm fine.
Rachel and the children are still down there.
When that E.L.F. Signal went off, I damn near fell out of my chair.
- He started screaming, "Thanks, NASA"! - The old tin box worked.
- It sure did. - Rachel and the children are still there. Where's Paul?
He didn't make it.
At least he got to see the show.
All the way! Back up! I need people with me!
Move up the hill, people! Move it!
Let's go!
- Move it. Move it!
Haul it up!
It's already secure.
Keep clear. Keep clear. Look out.
We've got survivors back here. Get out of the way.
Graham! Graham!
Mom, it's Harry! He's alive!
It's good to see you.
Did you really mean what you said about taking us fishing?
- I sure did. - That's great.
- You guys ready to go? - Let's go.
