a few sensors. That's no big deal.

No-

But if the pressure from the mountain

above these displacements was great enough...

There won't be any expansion

before the slide.

And there won't be any warnings.

CONTROL STATION EAGLE'S NES KERNESET, STORFJORDEN

874,1 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL

Hey, be careful!

That's Geiranger's

greatest tourist attraction!

When you're at such a beautiful place

then you should be able to see the fjord.

I understand that so well. Let me know if

you need something. See you later.

Hi, Sondre. What?

Where are you now?

Okay?

Sh*t!

Do we have contact?

- Do you have picture?

- Yeah, we can see you.

That's good to know.

You'll check number 4

and I'll check number 5.

Yessiree, Bob!

Kristian?

- This is not natural wear.

- No, something's obviously happening.

There's a lot of movement

in that mountain now, you know that?

We'll investigate this further, Kristian.

We'll take care of it.

What do you mean?

More samples, drill more holes.

More holes? Are you crazy?

Do I really have to remind you

guys what might happen here?

We're talking about an

80 meter tall wave here!

After ten minutes,

Geiranger is no more!

We know what might happen

just as well as you do.

It sure doesn't seem like it!

What the f*** do you want me to do?

You want me to press this,

and create total panic?

Cancel the tourist season before it starts?

Since when did you start

caring about tourism?

That's not what

this is about!

What do you think will happen-

- if we start crying wolf every time

something happens up there?

What the f*** do we do

when the slide actually happens?!

Then tell me what we should do.

Code Yellow. I want the mountain,

fully staffed at all hours.

Yeah.

What do you thing?

Are you just gonna stand there and watch?!

Jacob?

Kristian, listen.

I understand that you're upset.

I know you only want what's best,

but now you'll have to calm down a little.

We've found some torn wires.

There's nothing indicating that

something is going to happen.

The mountain is quiet, Kristian.

Okay. I'm sorry.

I don't know what came over me.

I'm not going to...

Didn't bother waiting

call MOM

Oh, f*** me...

Jesus...

Oh man... You're so f***ed...

There's a visitor for you.

Are you totally mad?

You can't just leave the kids in the car

and work for several hours.

- I know, I'm sorry.

- You don't even work there anymore.

- I f***ed up.

- Yes, you did.

I had a bad feeling, and...

Yeah... There won't be any Stavanger today.

- Nei...

- Okay...

I think you guys

will sleep at the hotel tonight.

- Great.

- You wanna do that? Okay?

- Then you'll try again tomorrow?

- Yeah.

But I want to sleep at home.

That place is empty,

honey, and not nice at all.

I want to say goodbye to the house.

If you want to do that,

then we'll make sure of that.

Is that all right?

The house it is, then.

- You want to come along?

- Nah.

- I'll get you a room in the hotel.

- Yes, please.

Say goodbye from me as well.

There we go. Good night, my dear.

Bye, boss.

I'll see you tomorrow.

- Okay, let's go get your stuff.

- What was your name?

My name is Sondre Eikjord.

- Daddy, can I sit in the front?

- Of course!

Okay, seat belt on.

And tighten.

Okay, we're ready.

- Daddy?

- Yeah?

Are you and mommy going

to get a divorce now?

No. No, we're not

getting a divorce.

We had a little fight

and later we'll be friends again.

And then everything will be alright again.

I hope...

- That's life.

- That's life!

Here's your room.

There.

I hope the room

is as you hoped it would be.

- Enjoy.

- I will.

Can I go work for a little? You know which

bottles you can't touch in the minibar?

I do.

And which TV-channels you can't watch?

Watch out.

Where are you sleeping, daddy?

In this one.

I'll sleep tight in this.

There. Are you good?

We don't need any hotels.

- No, this has more soul.

- Yeah...

Yeah, it actually does.

Dear Kristian. Thank you for the good years.

Best of luck in Stavanger. From the gang.

TSUNAMI DANGER ZONE

IN CASE OF TSUNAMI - GET TO HIGHER GROUND

SHELTER:

I was an idiot today.

Sorry.

- Man, these beds suck!

- Yeah.

Sad that it had to end this way.

With Kristian, I mean.

You think he'll stay in the

oil business for long?

We'll see.

I guess he'll be back after a year.

These mountains. When they first

grab you, they never let go.

- What the f***, Arvid?

- I read it in a book.

I guess you did.

Hurtigruten means something

for the people along the coast.

It's an incredibly beautiful journey.

Some call it the world's most

beautiful journey on the sea...

- Hi

- Hi

Hello?

Mikal?

F***!

Sh*t!

- Margot

- Yes?

- Arvid?

- Jacob?

Hello? Can you hear me?

- Arvid?

- Answering.

We're getting some weird readings here.

It looks like

the mountain has contracted.

- That's not possible.

- Multiple sensors are showing contraction.

Re-calibrate the entire line

and read them again.

Okay.

- Ready for an evening walk?

- Of course.

- We're going down to take a look.

- Now?

Yeah, so we can check it out.

Almost down.

Hello? Yeah, hey there.

- Yeah, wait a little.

- It's Kristian.

- Hey, are you longing back here already?

- No, no, we're leaving tomorrow.

- Everything all right up there?

- Yeah, everything's fine.

Just a few sensors

that are acting weird.

They're showing contractions in the mountain.

Contractions?

Yeah, but there's probably

some mistake somewhere.

Arvid and Jacob are down there now

checking it out, so we'll know pretty soon.

- Okay.

- Hey, I'll keep you posted.

- Thanks. I'll talk to you later. Bye.

- Bye.

What the f*** was that?!

The geophones are reading quakes over there.

Yeah, we felt it here too.

Minus 0.8 more at C6.

Can I get data for C6?

1.72.

Minus 2.6 the last hour.

F***ing hell!

Same here.

Confirming contraction.

Want us to check number 7 as well?

- Yeah, I'll do it.

- F*** this.

Are Arvid and Jacob still down there?

Yeah, they just

confirmed the data.

Listen to me. Get them

out of there, right now!

- What do you mean?

- Let me talk to Arvid.

- Arvid?

- Answering.

- Wait a little. - There, Kristian.

- Arvid? Arvid, can you hear me?

Hello?

- Kristian?

- Get the hell out of there.

- Drop all you have and get out.

- We're just gonna finish up here.

I've checked the data

from Vajont and Randa.

There were registered contractions

right before the avalanches.

Same thing at both places.

Arvid, they weren't expanding.

They were contracting.

We're coming up.

- What was that? What's going on?

- Jacob is stuck!

- Take it easy, I'll get you out.

- What's going on? Arvid?

Jacob's foot is stuck.

I'll get you out, it'll be fine.

- What are the sensors saying?

- Wait a little.

Groundwater is sinking.

At several spots.

I'm losing contact with them.

Jacob, everything will be okay.

- Margot? Sound the alarm.

- But...

Code Red! Code Red!

Margot, sound the alarm!

- What the f*** are you doing?
