Then it's up and out

to move again?

This whole f***ing country is all rocks.

What's going on here? Are you guys moving?

Come here.

- You too.

- Me as well.

Hey, Sondre.

We'll see how long you'll handle it,

only concrete and...

And Kristian with a tie around his neck.

That'll be new.

- It'll be a transition.

- Yeah, a bit tight around the neck.

- Are you ready?

- Yeah, mostly.

These guys will take the ferry today and

I'll stay here and work for a few more days.

- So you're not leaving now?

- No, you won't get rid of me just yet.

- Daddy, it's our turn.

- Are we going or what?

Wait here. I won't be long.

- I've bought an apartment and everything.

- Hey, I need to show you something.

HOTEL GEIRANGER:

DOWNTOWN GEIRANGER

1,7 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL

- Hey, Vibeke.

- Oh, you're here?

I thought I'd help out a bit.

Welcome to Geiranger.

Sorry about the wait.

- That's no problem at all.

- What are your names?

- Maria and Phillip Poulsen.

- Let's see if we have a room for you.

- Did the others leave already?

- I think they'll be on the ferry soon.

Imagine that there are no problems with

the sensors, but with the wires down there.

Right?

All mountains consist of layers.

Ours is no different.

Our drilling holes go through

all these layers.

You said that the groundwater disappeared

right before we lost contact.

Groundwater

won't just disappear like that.

It finds new ways, makes new layers.

That creates friction.

Which then again make the other layers move.

And if they moved enough,

they might've cut off our wires.

Then we'll drill some new holes and switch

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?
