7 years ago,
21 million people died from bird flu.
The virus was able to mutate itself originating from man-made technology.
But today our world faces another crisis;
a natural disaster of catastrophic proportions.
We have brought this upon ourselves through eons of neglecting the environment.
From the past till present,
we've continued to enjoy technology.
We indulge ourselves with modern gadgets.
But we forget that we're destroying the natural environment.
Mother Nature is finally taking revenge
on what we have done to the planet.
Extreme temperature changes have wrought havoc on the ozone layer
causing hurricanes, cyclones,
snowstorms, disasters, and volcanic eruptions
Movement of the earth's crust
is causing earthquakes and tsunamis.
We represent various countries worldwide
who understand the significance of this crisis
which could bring alarming consequences.
We could already be too late.
But at the very least, we should be proud
of our participation in implementing
this treaty at an international level.
The 30-year-old Kyoto Protocol
aims to protect the environment and mankind.
Once again, I beg those of you
who haven't yet signed this treaty
to fully understand the potential disasters
that may befall our world by out very hands.
- What's going on? - Earthquake! Get out of here.
It's an earthquake. Please leave the building, sir.
What about everyone else?
I'll take care of them.
- Run! - This way. Hurry!
Shouldn't the National Disaster Warning Centre
have informed you of this incident beforehand?
They told me frequent earthquakes will occur
and could effect all of our dams.
There's even a risk of a giant Tsunami.
But who would believe that? Would you?
Mr. Prime Minister.
Thailand is unlikely to have an earthquake or volcanic eruption.
What makes our country so special?
If the world ends,
we'll be on the same planet as everyone else.
Don't try to find exceptions.
Welcome aboard the Seafdec research vessel, Dr. Siam.
Thank you Commander.
I'm disturbed to hear of this underwater volcano.
- Please come to our meeting room. - Good idea.
We found an underwater volcano in this area
with an unusually high flow rate.
I never paid much interest to this volcano before
but now I see it grow every day
and it continues to release heat.
Perhaps it was caused by the eruptions of the Philippines' Pinatubo
or Indonesia's Krakatau which is also expected to have an eruption.
In 2008, I thought this volcano would never erupt.
But now I think it's a 51% likelihood.
Krakatau and Pinatubo were bad enough.
Now we've got this one to worry about.
It's like a cannon in the Gulf of Thailand aimed straight at us, Sir.
That's why I had to see it with my own eyes.
Come on.
Want some water?
Me first.
Here. Hold this.
Follow me.
Oh Ruus.
Daddy... Mommy... Help me!
Phu...
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy... Mommy... Help me!
- Help me out buddy. - Daddy!
- Daddy... Mommy... Help me! -Hold on to me, son.
Phu... What happened?
It's OK, I'm alright.
Why are you lying on the ground?
I must have fallen asleep.
You're full of crap.
If we didn't find you, a tiger would have.
How did you two find me?
You were screaming so loud.
I'd have to be deaf not to hear you.
I'm glad you're here.
Let me show you something.
I found these layers of rock on the cliff.
This is evidence of the 2 past Tsunamis.
When do you think it happened?
I sent samples to Tokyo early last month.
They confirmed what other labs had discovered.
The first occurrence was 1,800 years ago.
The second was about 900 years ago.
Are you saying that it occurs every 900 years?
Yes, but it might occur sooner or later than usual.
The water level is unusually low.
I decided to examine it a few days ago.
The river banks have significant erosion.
I'd say about 5 - 10 meters.
What do you think happened?
It might have something to do with ocean currents.
Grandpa told me the earth is relieving stress and releasing concentrated heat rays.
The earth's crust will also start to move.
Does that mean an earthquake?
Don't jump to conclusions yet.
The doctor is aware of all the facts.
He's gathering more data from satellites.
I'm sure he'll find something.
The animals are also starting to migrate.
I've noticed it happening for months now.
I'll report these developments to him myself.
Maybe you should get some rest first.
Yes, I think you should see a doctor.
I'd rather not.
I hate needles and pills.
Look closely at the Indian Ocean plate.
It's constantly shifting under our own plate.
The friction has a great impact on this volcano.
Doctor, the heat rays are very concentrated.
Many points are flexing with the Eurasian plate.
Are any other volcanoes reacting?
We're monitoring Krakatau and Pinatubo.
This could be the most violent eruption in 120 years.
Indonesia is monitoring activity in 3 volcanoes.
We'll have to help them.
We're all born on the same planet.
I'm going to the underwater lab.
- Will you come with me? -Yes, Doctor.
Many plates are on the brink of an earthquake.
Could this cause another earthquake in the Indian ocean?
That's exactly what I fear.
Perhaps the 2004 Tsunami was just a beginning.
Will there be another great catastrophe?
Only God can answer that question.
Don't forget, no technology can fully predict earthquakes.
That's why we built this monitoring station in the first place.
We'll stay at the research site tonight.
We'll go to the warning centre by boat tomorrow.
We should be able to help Grandpa.
The doctor is worried about you.
He wants you to stay on the ship.
When my time comes, it won't matter where I am.
I might see you at the centre tomorrow then.
That would be good. Grandpa always asks about you.
Hey Ruus!
What's wrong with you?
What are you afraid of? There's no snake.
An earthquake?
How did you know? You're a clever boy.
It's good you've both arrived.
You can take over from the others who haven't slept for days.
We're lucky the Seafdec is anchored there for 7 days.
8.5 on the Richter scale.
- In Krakatau? - In Aceh.
That same location had an earthquake in 2004.
We have only 1 hour to evacuate the people.
Doctor, it's in the exact same location.
It's as if it were a copy.
I'll inform the Prime Minister immediately.
Alert all coastal warning centers now.
You gave us 2 false alarms so far.
How confident are you this time?
I'm on the way to a rally in the Northeast.
It's the largest voter base for my party.
If I make any wrong decisions now,
my position and political party will be put in jeopardy.
But if you're confident,
I'll put the disaster relief centers on high alert.
A state of emergency has been announced
to prepare for a possible earthquake and Tsunami.
An aftershock of 5.6 Richter hit at 08.17 hrs.
But we have no reports of a Tsunami yet.
A Tsunami travels at speeds of 900 km per hour.
The wave height starts at roughly 1 meter.
Our underwater station should detect it.
All the warning alarms have been triggered.
Oh no! I forgot little Mai Tai.
You stay here while I go to the Seafdec.
Mai Tai is still on board.
I must send him far into the ocean before the Tsunami hits.
Are you going alone?
Don't worry about me.
Where are you going Cindy?
There will be a Tsunami in the next 30 minutes.
I need to warn Mai Tai to leave the shore.
Cindy wait.
- Don't go. - You go back Phu.
Cindy, it's dangerous.
- Come back. - You go back.
Cindy, come back.
Hurry!
What's that?
I've never seen anything like that before.
Mai Tai... Mai Tai...
Mai Tai...
Mai Tai...Where are you? Come here right now.
Mai Tai...
Mai Tai...There you are.
