Apocalypse Pompeii Page #2

---

Bye dad.

Bye princess.

And make sure you keep those

sat. phones-

Hello?

Everything ok?

Yeah.

Mr. Pierce.

Very pleased to meet you.

I'm Victtore Fabricio, Senior

Vice President of operations.

Please call me Jeff, sir.

Wonderful. Uh this way.

Mr. Rosso and the others are waiting.

Gianni.

Yes.

How do we get out of this place?

We'll try the enterence first. If

that doesn't work we try Porta Sarno.

The gate by the-

By the amphitheater.

Hey, on the other side of the

city.

Ok.

Here, this way.

Lynne.

I must confess. I am amazed at your daughter's

knowledge of the city and our fearsome volcano.

Yeah she does her best to keep

us amazed. That's for sure.

Tell me, how is it you are so

drawn to volcanoes?

My dad was away a lot when I was

a kid. Marines.

Whenever he went away somewhere I'd read

everything I could about the place he was

stationed. Everything from local customs,

to the way the land was formed.

Knowing about where he was,

ready did make me feel closer to him.

The more I read, the more I realized how

much I loved learning about the earth.

While other girls were playing with dolls,

I was playing with rocks.

There is much to study in Italy.

Perhaps one day you can come

live with us when you are a

famous geologist.

I would die to live in Italy.

That's another small one right?

Perhaps we should...

Go! Quickly.

RUN!

I of course could Implement it and

have it up and running in 3 months.

- Seems like a plan.

- Ok

Mio dio!

Vesuvius.

Do you have a helicopter?

Excuse me?

Does this company have a

helicopter?

Mr. Pierce.

I need to use it.

Mr. Rosso my family is in

pompeii.

I'm sorry but I cannot. Not for

this.

If you try to fight Vesuvius you

will die. I promise you.

Jeff, please you have to listen to

Mr. Rosso. You cannot go to Pompeii.

Mykaela?

Mom?

That's bad.

Honey, you there?

Jeff. We're ok but the volcano

has-

I know. You gotta find shelter.

Somewhere sturdy with cover.

Find it. I'll be there soon.

- Are you guys alright?

- Is everything ok?

I don't think you should.

No. Stay there. I'm coming for

you.

I love you Jeff but-

Lynne.

Jeff?

Lynne!

Jeff?

Dammit!

Stay away Jeff.

Come on. come on. Move move

move. Thank you.

Excuse me sir?

No I have to get through here.

Get back. No one gets through.

My wife and daughter are in

Pompeii. I have yo get through.

Pompeii? Pompeii is ground zero.

No one is going there. Get back

in your car.

No you don't understand, I have

to get there.

Back in car now.

Easy buddy.

Back in car or I arrest you.

Go.

You play nintendo.

Hello Carlo, Yeah I'll be right

there.

Dammit! Come on!

Ok Yeah.

Carlo.

God no one's called me that in a

few years.

- My dear friend it's good to see you.

- You too.

- Despite the cercumstances.

- Tell me something good.

As soon as I got your call, I sent out a

request to the top of the Italian Government.

There's no go I'm afraid.

This is a-

Pompeii is strickly off limits.

The whole area is off limits.

We are on stand by to eveacuate

Naples.

No no no no, you don't

understand this is my wife and

daughter we're

talking about here.

You think I don't understand that?

You think I don't remember that debt

I owe you from Canada. I tell you

this is a major international crisis.

I would help you if there was

anyway-

There is a way. there's always a way.

You know that. You're special ops.

I was special ops in the days when

I was carlo. Now I'm cornel Dylard.

NATO liazon. I'm a pen pusher.

You're the same guys.

Come on Carlo. Come on man.

There's also something else you

don't know...

How bad?

I just spoke to the head of

science at Sapienza di Roma.

Pompeii will be under sixty feet

of lava within four hours.

Sorry.

Come on. Get in.

Where am I going?

Where are you going?

There's nothing we can do.

You can't stop the bloody volcano man.

Come on.

Get down!

Don't touch it! Go!

Here!

Come on!

Is that safe?

It's safer then out here.

Go!

Over there.

That's it. You're gonna be

alright.

Mom.

I'll be fine.

It looks readlly bad.

Oh my god.

You realize these guys will give you the

same answer as the Italian Goverment?

Still gotta try.

Right. B ut if you get the answer that

I think they're going to give you,

I'll wait outside for you. and

meet you in an hour.

Ok.

What are you planning?

Plan B. Just in case your plan A

doesn't plan out.

I'm not the only person in Italy

that owes you a favor.

Good luck old boy.

Thanks.

Right.

Next time I say "Let's go get

coffee". Let's go get coffee.

Here let me help you.

Thank you.

Hey. Here.

You saved my life out there.

We were just in the

neighborhood.

Thanks.

I'm Naveen. And that's Rashida.

I'm Lynne.

Mykaela.

Thank you.

It's a hell of a day huh?

Tell me about it.

This morning Naveen said that he

felt something important

was gonna happen to us today.

Me and my big mouth huh?

Hey.

There ya go.

Thanks man.

Next time I won't visit a

natural disaster.

If there's even a next time.

Paul!

I can't be the only one thinking

that.

Hey.

You ok?

Yeah.

I guess.

It was really lucky that you

founde this place, ok?

It's exactly what your dad said

to find.

You did really good. You did

really good baby.

In theory we should be ok here.

It withstood the last eruption

after all.

Unless it's worse this time.

Worse?

Can it really get any worse?

Mr. Pierce please believe me.

We'd like nothing better then to

assist you in locating your wife

and your daughter.

All I'm asking for is transport

sir.

Believe me Captain, I don't

doubt your ability

but as I said, it's not that

easy.

It is. That easy.

It is not that easy. You heard

what your friend said CO said.

Word from the Italian goverment,

is that everybody is coming out.

Nobody is going in. Certainly

no civilians. God only knows

how they feel about some black

ops commando-

Exactly. I'm black ops. I can

make this a cougar operation.

Sir please, believe me we're

trying to keep you safe.

This is my wife and daughter.

Mr. Pierce I get it.

We're talking about a volcanic

eruption.

Jeff:
I've done it before. Many

times. That's my job!

Look I want to help you. Really I do.

Neither you or I can stop a volcano.

... we are now receiving

reports from Niihau Hawaii,

where a ring of volcanoes have

risen from the ocean,

endangering air traffic and

local population...

In a little over 3 hour Pompeii

will be gone.

Right now the only thing I can

do is try and keep you safe.

That's it. I'm sorry.

That's what we're dealing with.

So you are not gonna help me.

No Mr. Pierce I can't.

We're heading out of Naples in an hour.

I f you're you'll be coming with us.

If not...

God help you man.

You guys have everything in

those packs.

Our whole lives are in there.

We've been backpacking through

Europe for the past 3 months.

Naveen is hard to persuade when

he gets an idea in his head.

Like you were putting up a

fight.
