Journey To The Center Of The Earth Page #5

Uncle Trevor and I, uh...

...we're sort of on a fishing trip and...

Are you having fun?

Whoa, no, you don't.

- Uncle Trevor just caught a really big one.

- Sean?

- My phone.

- Sean, do you know how to switch hit?

- Ready?

- Yeah.

Out of the ball park.

- Sean.

- Look out.

I got it, I got it.

Sean.

- No, no, don't.

Get away from the sides.

Look what they're doing.

They don't want us. They want the fish.

Listen up.

Sean, you take the tiller, we'll get the line.

Hannah, hold the slack.

Sean, you wanna take us hard starboard?

What?

That way.

Come on.

- Okay.

- Doing good.

Now just let it out gently.

Let it out gently.

Let it out slowly.

It's working.

We're pulling clear of them.

You're the man, Uncle Trev.

That's what I've been telling

the scientific community for years.

Hannah.

Let me see.

The lines.

Got it.

- Sean.

Sean, don't do that. No, Sean.

Sean!

- No, Sean!

- Trevor!

- Sean!

- Hang on!

Don't let go!

No.

Trevor?

Trevor?

Hello?

Hello?

Hey, little guy. Where are we?

Hey, do you know

where I can get some water?

I'm talking to a bird.

I must be losing it.

Sean!

Sean!

Wait.

The wind blew him this way.

We still heading north?

Yeah, still north.

He's a smart kid. He knows the plan.

I'm sure he'll be waiting by the river.

Let's find that river.

Hey, come on, wait up.

Where'd you go?

Good job.

Okay.

Now which way?

South.

That's good.

The river's north.

Okay.

Here, let me take that.

- No, no, I'm fine.

- Come on, let me take it.

- Trevor, I'm fine.

- Hannah, Hannah, I got it.

Let's just stop for a second.

Hey, we're gonna find him.

Drink that.

- Is that the last of the water?

- Yeah.

We're gonna need that. Keep it.

Hannah, drink it.

Come on.

Duck!

- What the...?

- What was that?

Large carnivorous plant?

Hannah.

Hannah?

Hannah.

Hannah.

Hannah.

Ugh.

Hang in there.

That's one point for me, right?

Right.

Who's keeping track, right?

I get it.

It's a magnetic field.

No way.

Magnetic rocks?

No, no. No, no, no.

No. No.

You try that without wings.

That's the river.

Geyser must be inside that cave.

Sean!

Where is he?

Where is he?

Trevor?

Trevor?

Man, I really wish I'd read that book.

I don't see him anywhere.

Trevor? Trevor.

Hang on a minute. What are you doing?

I'm going to get my nephew.

Hannah.

This is all my fault.

Save yourself.

Just go home.

I'll wait for you at the river...

...for as long as I can.

What did you do that for?

Just in case.

Sean!

Sean!

Sean!

Sean?!

Sean!

Sean!

Sean! Sean!

Come on!

Oh, God, I'm glad to see you.

Yeah, you too.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah.

We should go.

Wait, wait, wait.

- Is that the geyser?

- Yeah, that's where we're going.

Come on.

- Haven't you ever seen a dinosaur before?

- Not with skin on it.

He's too fast. We're not gonna make it.

- Trevor, what are you doing?

- That's muscovite.

Same thing that we fell through before.

There's no way it's gonna hold you.

It can't hold him either. Now you run.

Trevor, no.

It's not breaking, Trevor.

Keep running!

- He's gaining on you.

- I know.

Keep going.

Ah! Whoa.

Trevor, it's working.

Look out!

Trevor!

I just remembered something.

I hate field work.

Trevor, come on.

That was like... And then you were like...

Yeah, I know. I'm really lucky.

Okay, that way.

That, no good. That, worse.

Let's go.

The river.

How are we gonna get to the geyser?

- Water's boiling.

- We need something that floats.

Anything. I could use a log or...

What we really need is a boat.

Who had dibs again?

Come on, jump in.

- The best mountain guide on the planet.

- Got that right.

You didn't really think

you were gonna scare me away, did you?

You'll have to work harder than that.

I'm afraid I'll have to charge you extra

for this bit.

Can I open a tab? Whoa.

What was that?

It's not good. That's the river bed.

We're running out of water.

Well, guys,

you might wanna hang on to something.

This ride is about to get a little bit...

Bumpy.

- Is everybody all right?

- Yeah.

Where are we?

What's that light down there?

That's lava.

It's magma, and it's rising.

There's supposed to be water in this tunnel.

Steam, water shooting up.

We're too late for the geyser,

we missed it.

- What do we do?

- Do you have any suggestions, professor?

Without water, no steam.

Without steam, we're not going anywhere.

This place looks like there hasn't been

water here in two, three hours now.

- But the walls are still wet.

- That's impossible, it's 130 degrees.

- Trevor. Behind you.

- What?

It is wet.

It's cold. There's water behind here.

There's gotta be water behind some pocket

or underground river.

Trevor, it's getting closer.

Hey, that's magnesium.

- We're slipping.

- How many flares you got left?

Three.

What do you wanna do with them?

Gonna light the magnesium. On purpose.

Hang on.

Oh, come on. It's too wet.

Got to get further down.

Give me another one.

Hold my legs.

Come on.

You're gonna have to tie me off.

I gotta get down lower.

Trevor, it's getting closer.

That's good. All right, ready.

It's the last one.

Trevor, be careful.

How's that?

- Little more.

Hurry.

Lower?

- Little more.

Okay, hold off.

- Come on.

- Come on.

Come on, light.

- Come on.

Come on, Trevor.

Still wet. Gonna have to

throw it to the other side.

What?

No.

No!

Trevor, come on.

- Trevor, come on.

- It's lit, it's lit.

Pull!

- Pull me up.

- Hurry.

Pull me up. Pull me up.

Come on, pull it. Pull it.

- Pull.

Watch the teeth. Watch the teeth.

Sean! Come on!

Get down, it's gonna blow.

This thing's heating up.

I know!

- Hang on!

- Trust me, I'm hanging on!

Is that sky?

Hang on, everybody!

- Stop saying that!

- It just keeps coming up!

That's Mount Vesuvius.

Hey, Sean, if your mom asks you

what you did this weekend...

...you tell her Uncle Trevor took you to Italy.

- Italy?

Sean?

Sean?

What? I just took

a few geological samples.

A few geological samples?

A few pounds of samples, but what

do you expect? I'm a scientist's son.

Look. Look.

You take this.

You take. We are sorry.

You want slide again?

Slide is okay. It's fine.

Anything what you want.

What was that for?

Now we're even.

Leonard, I'm back.

Stop doing what you're doing.

What am I doing?

Oh, look, you're looking for work.

You don't need to,

because you have a job...

...with the sgeirsson-Anderson Institute

for Tectonophysical Exploration.

The sgeirsson-Anderson... What?

Still working on the name.

But the point is, rising tide lifts all boats.

Man, that's awesome.

I think... Am I a boat?

- You're a boat. We're back in business.

- All right, dude.

Well, well, well.

What's all the excitement about?

- Oh, hey, Alan. How are you?

- Good.

- What you doing?

- Oh, me?

I'm moving into my new lab.

More importantly, where have you been?

I heard you missed your Monday lecture

and both of your students complained.

Oh!

I took a quick vacation.
