Are you ready for a tale?
A tale as old
as the hills themselves?
They say the mountain is alive.
It takes breaths
from all that is living:
The trees, the flowers,
the grass.
But the mountain
is also unforgiving,
and takes what it wants.
It gives back nothing,
not of its own choosing.
It gives back only what escapes.
But why, father?
Long ago,
the evil spirit
fought the good spirit.
The good spirit lost
and fled west towards the ocean.
The evil spirit hid here
in the mountain,
and never left.
The white man believes
the evil spirits
showed themselves in 1846.
The white man is wrong.
Evil spirit came
long before they arrived.
And while the evil spirits
quieted for many years,
they did not go away;
They slept.
We're almost there, girls.
Ah, still a long winter, I know.
We made it.
Camp will be glad.
You two did great.
Good girl.
We almost didn't make it.
Blizzard's bad.
Rations should last us
the winter.
Jacob?
Elizabeth?
Harriet?
What in God's name?
William!
What are you doing?
I have to say, I'm kind of
digging my badge.
Makes me feel important.
Were you excited when you
got your badge?
Well...
...certainly gets me
in the building,
of higher education,
I also consider it my "get out
Wow, seven years?
I only went to school
for two years,
yet we have the same badge.
Staff-Bright did
give me 90 days
to try you out
and see if you're worthy
of working here
on a permanent basis.
I wouldn't worry about it, Eve.
In actuality,
everything constantly changes
on a geologic scale...
...and on my bathroom scale.
Maybe you should try switching
to something healthier
than burgers.
Hmm.
Well, that'd certainly be good
for my cholesterol,
but, I'm a carnivore,
not a herbivore.
Every now and then I need to
eat something red and bloody.
Reminds me I'm at the top
of the food chain.
Yeah, well, I'm a yogurt whore.
Reminds me that I don't like
to kill animals.
Then why do we have incisors?
I'd like to see you chase a deer
and take it down
with your incisors.
I don't have to.
We've evolved.
I can use tools.
Well, here.
Why don't you use
one of these tools.
You got a little...
I thought the volcano
was dormant.
It was, and now it's not.
Looks like we have the potential
for an explosive caldera.
A caldera?
From the Latin word "calderia."
Means cooking pot.
Sometimes it's referred to as
the English word "cauldron."
Witchin'.
What's in it?
Ignimbrite, rhyolite, tuff,
That's quite a brew.
When the gasses
are under high pressure,
which they tend to...
Yeah, a massive explosion
of magma.
...so please make sure
you take your pets with you
as well as any
necessary medications,
and shut off any gas lines.
The volcano eruption is expected
any time from next week on.
Again, this is not a test.
Please stay tuned in for
more news on the evacuation.
We will now return to our
regularly scheduled programming.
Hi, Mindy.
You okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, just...
...going through everything,
is all.
Never easy just packing up
and leaving, I know.
It's just stuff.
Well, most of it, anyway.
That's cute.
Well, look at this.
- Oh, hey, go Mountaineers!
- Class of 19...
Oh, don't say it, now.
People'll think we're old.
Hey, let me get that for you.
Thanks, Mike.
You, um-you move
your family out yet?
Uh...
Rita moved out a few months ago.
It, uh...
...didn't take a volcano warning
for her to go.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Yeah, well, uh,
at least she and Dillon
will be safe.
