Under the Mountain Page #3

You're supposed to be in jail.

They're out there somewhere.

Give me ten minutes.

If they die.

We all die.

Five?

Ricky, what's going on?

I have to go.

But then I am going to come back.

Come on!

Oh, it's a dead end.

It doesn't make sense.

A tunnel's got to go somewhere.

Water. Salt water.

I'll help you up.

Take a deep breath...

Then kick as hard as you can.

Okay, ready?

Swim!

Rach! Come on.

Nowhere to run. Mmm.

Theo!

Rachel! Theo!

-Ricky!

-Here!

Get in!

Go! Go! Go!

Drive, Ricky. Drive.

The twin learns.

It burns us.

Does it lean enough?

Find them.

Make them dead.

No more twin smell.

Wait!

Make it hurt.

I did it.

I made the fire.

They were scared.

I thought that's what you wanted.

You've shown them what you could do.

Now they won't rest until you're dead.

Now you must destroy them

before they destroy you.

What do you mean?

We're going to the mountain tonight.

Ricky...

Get us as close to

Rangitoto as you can.

What's this?

Tunnels from the war.

In case Australia invaded.

Or the Russians, or something.

Are you okay?

We need to get to the mountain.

Can't you just flame on or...?

No. That takes fire.

And mine is dying.

Another journey would kill me.

Okay. Meet me in an hour.

Down by the rocks.

What, the boat?

Uncle Cliff will never let you.

Like I'm going to ask.

If the Wilberforces find out what

you're doing, they'll kill you.

Reckon I'm more scared of Dad.

-Be careful, Ricky.

-You too.

Be quick. We can't

hide here for long.

Come on.

Come on.

From now on,

you do exactly as I say.

-No way.

-What?

You lied about the other twins.

I told you.

They failed.

Pretty hard to throw a

stone when you're dead.

Mr. Jones?

If I'd told you the truth...

you wouldn't have

done what I asked.

What happened?

Their names were Johan and Lenart.

I'd been searching for so long, hoping

to find what they had - a bond.

They gave me hope.

I thought we could

destroy the Wilberforces...

before they broke free.

I was wrong.

Johan!

Johan!

Mr. Jones! Help us!

Please help us, Mr. Jones!

Please!

You just left them there.

I had no choice.

They had Johan. Lenart alone

was useless to me.

If I'd risked myself to save them, who

would've been left to find more twins?

You don't need twins. I can make

enough fire for both of us.

Rachel believes in

your twin-ness.

It is her belief

that gives you power.

But at the beach they were afraid of me.

-You were weak.

-No. They were afraid.

Only because she believes!

You're wrong, old man.

I'll prove it.

Theo?

Come back.

We have to throw the stones together.

I need you.

I need you, Theo.

I need your help.

There's no one

else I can trust.

Is this that end of the world thing?

'Cause, I've got work in the morning.

Please.

I'll explain on the way.

Mr. Jones?

Mr. Jones?

He's gone on ahead.

we have to get to the boat.

They've found us.

What?

Where are you going?

would you believe night fishing?

Get out of the car.

I know this doesn't look good, but

I'm asking you just to trust...

Get out of the car.

Dad, you're going to have to trust me.

If I say I've got something

important to do, it's important.

Dad?

Get out of the car.

Take the wheel!

Tell me that wasn't actually your Dad.

This way.

This way.

Stand back!

-How am I looking?

-Okay. Okay, go!

-I didn't know you could drive a boat!

-How hard can it be?

Sorry.

Sorry, there's a...

you've got to balance.

Go! Go! Go!

End of the road, losers.

Where are they going?

They're going to the island.

To wait for us.

Theo!

Come closer. Ricky.

You're going to have to jump.

-Where are the others?

-They're not coming.

-What?

-I'm going alone.

-Now Ricky!

-Yeah. Yeah.

Watch out.

They're waiting for you.

They've left us!

We won't go far.

Rach! Be careful.

You too.

Listen! They're hunting him.

Then help him!

It's too late.

I told you alone.

He's nothing.

Take me to him now.

No. Your brother is already

as good as dead.

And if I take you, it'll kill me.

They'll kill you too.

Maybe those other twins would

have made it if you'd stayed.

If you'd helped them instead

of saving yourself.

You can go find more

twins if you want.

But I don't get a choice.

I'll die before I turn my back on him.

Wait!

I'll take you.

I'll take you now.

Mr. Jones!

-He's here.

-Theo?

Rachel...

Rachel, take this.

Take it!

Remember, your belief

is your strength.

Hold on, for Theo.

Hurry, Theo.

Now you run.

Not this time.

Then I will observe you to die.

Then twins die.

If they have to die...

let them die together.

I will make sure of it.

Rachel!

Put her down!

No!

Rachel?

The gargantua rise.

It's twin dies.

How does it feel?

I'm alone.

Rachel...

I need you.

Rachel, I need you.

Rachel, I need you.

Theo? I'm here...

Rachel.

I'm here... I'm here.

Cliff!

Cliff!

Mr. Jones?

Where's Mr. Jones?

Dead. Gone.

He's dead.

What do we do now...?

I've got to go up there.

I got to go up there.

Just be careful

Ricky!

Did we do it?

You did it?

-I knew you were coming back.

-That went off really well.

We should get off the volcano.

You and me have some

unfinished business, mister.

I was wrong...

about Mr. Jones.

I was wrong about everything.

Let's go home.

With all this going on...

I don't think Dad's even going

to notice the boat's missing.
