...that we think

that we should check into.

And that's the reason that we're here,

plain and simple.

Okay.

You know,

there are no roads to the north.

Well...

I'm a mountain guide.

I can take you there, professor.

- Great.

- That's great, I love hiking.

- I would appreciate that. That'd be great.

- Good.

- Call me Trevor.

- You can call me Sean.

So it will be 5000 kronur to go up there.

Five grand a day? No problem.

An hour.

Do you accept rolls of quarters?

Come on, boys.

I wanna be home by sundown.

Hey, you think you can slow down

a little bit, please?

- Dibs.

- What?

I got dibs on the mountain guide.

- You're 13.

- Sorry, called it.

- Thirteen-year-olds don't get dibs.

- Get over it.

We're getting closer.

All right, just watch your step there.

Mount Sneffels is deceptively treacherous.

- What's Sneffels?

- Well, why don't you tell him, professor?

Sneffels is the name of the mountain

where this character Liedenbrock...

...apparently found a portal

to the center of the Earth.

Let's just find that sensor of yours,

professor.

There it is.

Yes.

Well, what do you need to do with it?

I gotta unlock it.

It's got, like, a black box...

...that has recorded

all of the seismic activity...

...that's transpired in the last 10 years.

Could tell me a lot about Max.

And what he was doing

when he went missing.

Trevor, I'm really sorry,

we're gonna have to go now.

Must be corroded.

Trevor, we need to... Whoa.

Okay, we need to take cover.

Come on, Sean. Right now.

I'll be right there.

- Trevor, just leave it for now.

- I've almost got it.

We need to take cover now.

Come on. Trevor.

- Uncle Trevor.

- Get in here.

- Yes. Oh!

- Watch out.

Hurry up. Come on.

Trevor,

the sensor's attracting the lightning.

- Drop it. Drop the sensor.

- What? I'm not gonna drop it.

Hurry!

- It's attracting the lightning!

Trevor?

- Trevor?

- I'm all right.

Sean?

- Sean, you all right?

- I'm good.

- Okay, everybody, just stay calm.

- Guys, come on, you gotta help me dig.

Come on.

- Forget it, it's no use.

- Forget it?

She's right.

There must be about 60 or 70 tons

of boulders on top of us.

Take us about a month

to dig out of here.

- We have to find another way.

- What if there is no other way?

There's always another way, Sean.

What else have you got?

Signal flares, first aid, some rope, blankets

and a couple of protein bars.

But they're on a ration.

- Don't know how long we'll be trapped for.

- Trapped? Is that what we are?

She... No, she didn't mean that.

- Sean, hey, what are you doing?

- God, I'm not getting any service.

Sean, you're not gonna get any signal

down here, okay?
