you ok?

I'm a little dizzy.

Hey.

Hey.

We need to get out of here.

Where?

The Eiffel tower.

The Eiffel tower.

Short cut. Come come.

Can we rest for a second, it's

been hours.

C'mon honey we gotta keep moving, we

gotta keep the blood circulating.

My legs are on fire, but the

rest of me's numb with cold.

We gotta keep movin' honey c'mon.

Oh!

Here, lacey

We're here!

What really, oh I can't believe

it.

And still on schedule!

Don't jinx it, cmon.

Steve! Steve!

Lacey!

Well, it beats walking.

You alright?

yeah

It's creepy, there's nobody

here.

Let's hope someone's still here.

Hello!

Hello!

Anybody here?!

Colonel Dillard sent us!

Foster! Over here.

Yeah!

C'mon, get in!

Lieutenant Carl Redding

sir, glad you made it.

Thank you Lt. This is my wife

lacey.

Well now that you're here why

don't we get the hell out?

Good idea, I'll get the

doors and you start her up!

Well actually, I heard you're a

hell of a pilot, why I don't I

Get these doors and

you fire it up!

You got it!

Main rotter.

Clear

Throttle.

Open

Starter.

Engaging

Oil pressure 10% n1, I should go

help him.

Thanks.

Main rotter?

Turning by 25%.

Starter.

Ignition at 58%.

Oh! I'm ok.

He needs my help again.

We need to make up for lost

time.

Oh. Good job.

How long until dad and lacey get

here?

Honestly it could be any time. They

still have to get the helicopter.

I really hope we don't

miss them at the tower.

That would really suck.

We're not gonna miss them.

We are making good time.

Ok, well we don't need any

distractions.

She's the one that knew

where the tunnel was.

Geez, we couldn't have left her back there.

That would be like murder.

It's getting worse

by the minute.

Stop!

Nice bike.

We'll take that.

You can't take our...

Nobody said you could speak.

Understand?

Yeah. I understand.

Good. So... We'll take the

bikes.

And the coats too.

What? You can't take the -

Ryan.

The coats! Now!

Lady.

Ryan.

Don't look so sad. You're

lucky you keep your shoes.

Or should I take them too?

No please.

Kidding.

Take off.

No.

Man, not another earthquake.

Oh, this is getting' old.

C'mon.

Ce que se pasee?!

I don't know! The water in the

pipes?

The water... It's freezing, it's

causing the pipes to burst.

Let's go.

Hey!

Taryn?

You ok?

Ryan!

Oh my god.

Damn it, it's locked.

I'm gonna try the stairs let's

go.

This is really bad.

I've never seen anything

like this before.

Can we get above it?

I'm worried about navigation. Half

the instruments are out as it is.

But it's worth a try.

Oh wow. We gotta get over that.

Uh oh.

Don't say uh oh. No uh oh.

Main rotter warning.

What?

Dammit. Engine stall. Must be

the ash.

Are we gonna crash?

Not if I can help it.

We're falling.

Honey, I got it under control.

We're falling.

Honey, I got it under control. I've

trained for this exact scenario, alright?

It's called an auto rotation.

We keep the rotter angled.

The blades spinning. We'll have a

controlled decent. Understand?

Yeah. I think so.

Just got to give the

engine time to recover.

Are we gonna land?

We might have to.

Are we gonna crash?

We might have too.

Steve.

Honey, it's ok.

Steve!

I'll try one more time. Just

give the engine time to kick in.

Are we dead?

I don't think so.

Did we crash?

I don't think so.

are we going to be ok?

I think so honey.

Next time we'll take a cruise.

You got a deal.

They did say they were coming

in a helicopter, right?

Where are they going to land?

Not down there.

Yeah and not here. Ryan,

what are we gonna do?

Maybe, maybe if we can

find a way to get to

the top they can drop a

rope ladder or we can

Find a way to climb on

board... I don't know!

You don't know?

After all this we're just gonna

die here?

We would have been better

off in a refugee camp Ryan.

You know dad he's

like freakin captain

America, if anyone can

pull this off he can.

You still believe that, after all

this, why do you idolize him so much?

Because he's a hero! And I'd be

lucky to be half the man he is.

Well, he'd better not be late,

otherwise he's grounded, for life.

C'mon, a thousand more

steps.

oh, oh.

I don't like the sound of that.

C'mon t. This thing has been standing

since 1889, it's not gonna fall over now.

But it wasn't built to last.

Have a little faith c'mon!

You ok?

Yeah you ok?

Let's keep going.

Ok, maybe we should head back

down.

Yeah.

Okay, let's keep moving!

Paris. Where's the tower?

We would be able to see it if it wasn't for

all these storm clouds and all these ashes.

Oh, there it is.

Steve.

Let's just get there

1st and find the kids.

One crisis at a time.

Hey it's them.

Really?

I don't know it's a helicopter!

Hey hey, over here.

Come on kids, where are you?

Do you see them?

Dad.

Dad.

Maybe they are underneath it?

Maybe, but it could be

unstable down there.

Hey hey, over here.

Oh there Steve, Ryan Ryan!

There is no way he can here you

baby.

Oh thank god!

Incredible right?!

Hey hey, hey!

What the?

Hurry hurry!

I see it but I don't know

what the hell it is.

May be this is what Dillard

was talking about.

May be.

All we can do is get there

before it does.

Read my mind.

Ryan, if we don't make it out of

here, I just want you to know.

Yeah yeah yeah no I love you too

t.

No no no I mean I love

you but I quit school.

What?! When?!

A couple months ago, I didn't

want you to be disappointed in me

You're so much like

dad, in a good way.

Hopefully that will be the

worst news I get today.

Dammit. I missed it.

Try again.

It's alright try again.

Can you get any closer?

I'm trying. What if the wind

slams us right into that thing.

T you ok?

That freakin' hurt.

I don't like this anymore Ryan.

Me either let's get outta here.

They got it.

Hurry.

Now what? They can't climb this

thing.

It's alright. We'll have to

slide.

We need a hook or a rod or

something.

I'm on it!

You're ok? Ready, go!

Ok get ready.

You ready t?

You got this. You got this. Go

Everybody alright?

Yeah.

Cut that line.

Hold on!

What was that?

We got hit.

How bad is it?

It's not good. We got 100 miles to go.

Only an hour to get there.

Are we gonna make it?

We'll find out soon enough.

Cornel how come we don't

leave if everyone is here?

Because not everyone is here.

You're willing to risk all of our lives for

people who may or may not make it on time?

The storm is only getting worse.

We should leave this minute.

Who the hell are they anyway.

We should get out of here.

The plane leaves on time.

Not a second before.

Make final preparations for take

off.

Come on. Come on. Just 10 miles.

We can make it. We can make it.

All set sir. Departure on your

command.

Very well.

There's the base.

I think we are going to be ok.

Don't jinx it.

Don't be superstitious honey.

Dad!

Hold on. We're going down.

Let's just hope the snow

is as soft as it looks.

I love you daddy.

I love you too baby. Hold on.
