Planetquake (2024)

Post by bunniefuu »

PJ, this is Captain Vogel.

Do you read me? Over.

Loud and clear, Captain.

Over.

PJ, start initiating

your ascent.

That typhoon that's

been developing

off the Northwestern

Pacific basin

is picking up speed.

Our return time has

increased by three hours.

We need to get you

up top, over.

Aye-aye, Captain.

But, uh, I haven't finished

securing the warhead.

I am on the last panel.

I know, and I've made the call.

We'll finish it tomorrow.

Yes, but, uh, this will

delay our schedule.

PJ, this area was a testing

zone during World w*r II.

Until those fishermen found

that dead marine life,

this area was just fine

for 75 years. Over.

Yes, Captain, but we should

at least chain it,

you know, just in case.

I mean, you said to

yourself the typhoon...

Okay, PJ, you have

five minutes to chain it

and then you have to

start making your ascent.

That is an order.

Copy?

Copy that, Captain.

All right.

Uh, Captain, I almost

lost the drillhead.

This rock formation here

is different in this area.

I don't know.

It's, it's softer or weaker.

I cannot continue to work

on this

with the equipment

I currently have.

I'm going to start

the ascent. Over.

Understood.

Start the ascent. Over.

Captain, there is a

rip current developing.

I'm fighting to control the sub.

There is a lot of movement

on the ocean floor.

My visibility is zero and my

monitors are cutting in and out.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

what do you mean movement?

PJ, you're in extremely

close proximity

to a potentially live

nuclear expl*sive.

Look, I can be your eyes,

but I need to know exactly

what's going on down there.

I have regained visibility and I

am continuing the ascent. Over.

PJ.

PJ? PJ!

PJ, come in.

Coast Guard, do you copy?

This is Vogel from Ocean Clean

at the Mariana Trench .

We have a problem in

the Challenger deep.

I say again, we have a problem

in the Challenger deep. Over.

Coast Guard, Mayday, Mayday,

Mayday!

Milly.

Hey, have you

seen what's going on?

Hey, sorry, Peter.

Sophie's about to land,

I'm trying to plan this whole

end of the school

year celebration.

Okay, but there's

something happening.

See what's happening.

Okay, I'm not going to be back

before the end of the day.

So if you could just

send out the reports,

make sure the data goes out,

gets backed up.

I know you've

done this all before,

but just keep me posted, okay?

Milly, there's

something happening.

There's more.

Wait, what is that?

Why are we spiking

in the Philippines?

We initially saw a movement

of the fault line

at the Mariana Plate here.

-You can see.

-Wait, no.

This doesn't make any sense.

How is the first recorded

reading so large?

We haven't picked up any

foreshocks that would indicate

an earthquake of

the size is coming.

Nothing leading up to this.

What was the magnitude

when it first hit?

Initially it hit a

3.4 in the Richter.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Then it dropped and we had

some smaller activities.

Then it picked up a 6.1.

Then a 7.3 and then an 8.

If this keeps increasing...

-An 8?

-Yes.

Are you sure these are accurate?

We gotta go.

Yeah, we triple checked for

any and all anomalies.

Once it hit a 7.3, it started

jumping around again.

I haven't figured

out a pattern yet,

but the readings are

steadily climbing.

We're lucky it didn't

hit near land.

Guam and the Mariana islands

are on tsunami watch now.

Peter, the largest recorded

earthquake is a 9.5

and you're saying

this started at an 8.

And it's still climbing.

I mean in theory, we could pass

a 9.5 but not in our lifetime.

The fault lines

don't shift that fast.

-At least they shouldn't.

-I know.

Also, the DHS and FEMA have

been both requesting

minute to minute projections

on evacuation contingencies.

One second, this just happened.

How are the quakes all along the

ring of fire already so large?

I'm not sure,

that's why we need you.

You picked up only

one initial amplitude.

How did one earthquake

hit all of these places?

They are 2000 miles apart.

No, this is too big

to be an earthquake.

This is more like an expl*si*n.

Yeah, that's what

the news is saying.

At first they thought

an oil rig exploded

and caused chain reaction.

Now they're saying

it's something bigger.

A firm, hired to clean up

nuclear weapons,

somehow started

these earthquakes.

Nuclear weapons?

Old nuclear like World w*r II

in the Challenger Deep.

Their operation disturbed

the Pacific,

the Philippines, and

the Australian plate lines,

and triggered

a massive earthquake.

The motion from the convergent

plates caused the waste

to go directly up

into Earth's upper mantle.

This expl*si*n

caused these quakes.

The Bikini Atoll tests.

Yeah.

Oh.

Hi, sweetheart.

I'm just calling.

Josh, listen, we picked up

very large, irregular readings,

and there are earthquakes

all along the ring of fire.

Go, go, go!

Milly?

Milly?

-You okay?

-Yeah, yeah, I'm here.

What is it?

What's going on?

I'm not sure yet.

It's caught us

completely off-guard.

There's large plate

movement in Asia.

And all along

the ring of fire.

We need to figure

out an interval time.

And we need to get in

contact with Sophie.

Just keep doing what

you're doing, it'll call her.

I think her flight's

still in the air.

I'll let you know

the second I have an update.

-I love you.

-I love you, too.

Peter, do you have

the projection mapping?

So I fed the readings

into an AI algorithm

to plot hypothetical movement.

All right, I input everything

we picked up so far.

The Philippines, Taiwan, Japan.

And don't forget

about Australia.

Australia, got it.

There's activity at the western

edge of the Pacific Plate.

In 72 hours the eastern

side of the Pacific Plate

will have the same

tectonic shift.

The entire west coast

of the U.S.

and the knock-on effect

would include Central America.

All experiencing earthquakes

starting at 8.0.

It's working its way around

the Pacific Rim towards us.

When it gets here...

The destruction

would be...

Unfathomable.

All right, Peter,

I have to take this.

Call Gayle at FEMA.

Make sure she's up

to speed on everything

and make sure they have

the latest projections.

-Mom...

-Sweetheart.

Forget about baggage claim.

Mom, we're still in the air.

We're being diverted

to another airport,

but it hasn't been

allocated yet.

What did the crew say?

The captain made an announcement

about some earthquake in Seattle

and then that we were waiting

for an alternate runway.

What's going on?

Sophie, there

was an earthquake.

And the runway's

are most likely damaged

or full of grounded planes.

Stay calm and just do

what they tell you, okay?

Excuse me, Miss.

We ask that you refrain

from using mobile devices

while we're circling.

Thank you.

Sorry.

I'm on the phone with my mom.

Just tell your mom

that you love her

and be off by the time

I come back around.

Oh, no, but I--

Hey, just listen to

what the crew says.

Please call us as

soon as you've landed

and your dad will come

and pick you up.

Save as much battery power

as you can

and if you see any

water bottles,

put them in your bag, okay?

Okay, Mom.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Okay, looks like we got

a live one.

Major Anderson, leave TCP and

head up the aircraft S&R. Over.

Copy that, sir.

I'll let my team know.

-Sergeant.

-Sir.

I've asked to head up

the search and rescue team

for the downed aircraft.

They've given me the go ahead.

Understood, sir.

I'm going to call

air traffic control,

find out where those airplanes

are hitting the concrete.

Roger that, sir.

I got it.

I got it.

Yeah, this is--

Yeah, hold.

It's the White House...

for you.

Hello, this is Dr. Anderson

at the NEIC.

Dr. Anderson.

I'm General West,

Director of the

National Security Agency.

Yes, General.

I know who you are.

Okay, good.

I'm sure your office is

at threat level red.

That's why I'm calling.

I know your brother,

Dresden Anderson.

I need his help, but I no

longer have his contact info.

Neither do I. General--

When he quit,

he went off the grid.

I need you to find him

immediately.

You're the NSA.

Why do you need my help?

Doctor, is this line secure?

No.

You have three days to

get him to contact me.

And what should I say?

Mention Star Wars.

Star Wars.

Star Wars like the movie?

No, Peter.

Star Wars was a weapons

initiative started in the 80s.

So, your brother worked

for the government?

He was a scientist and then

became a weapons technician.

They revisited the project a few

years ago and then he got fired.

And then he just sort

of disappeared.

Then what happened?

Work was really his only passion

and it kind of broke him.

He never recovered.

He started to isolate,

cut off ties from people.

I tried to get him to explain

what happened, but he wouldn't.

But when you're talking

about your brother...

Peter, just stop.

Imagine if Einstein was trapped

in the paranoia of Ted Kaczynski

with the ego of Elon Musk.

Sheesh.

Yeah, that's my brother.

I still miss him.

I still love him.

And he's brilliant.

Leave a message.

Maybe I'll call you back.

Dresden. It's Milly.

Your ex-boss,

I guess, just called.

Look, I don't know what

you did this time,

but everyone's looking for you.

All right, you don't

have to call me back.

But if you could

call back the general,

he said to mention Star Wars

and that you have three days.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we were allocated a runway

but the volume of planes

extended the clearing process

and it's cost us a lot of fuel.

We have to make

an emergency landing

on the closest and

safest stretch of land.

Remain seated with

your seat belts fastened.

Flight crew, take your seats

and prepare

for an emergency landing.

If we follow the same patterns

as Japan and Australia,

the quakes will

continue to grow.

We can't keep up.

We won't have time

to get everyone out.

Especially with the runways

already damaged.

The knock-on effect

we can't fully measure.

Like island arc volcanoes,

subduction zone plates.

What if we try and divert

some of the energy

along the plate lines?

It would cause a bigger problem.

Look up the coast.

The neighboring plates contain

the Cascadia subduction zone.

The Pacific Northwest has

been due a magnitude of nine

for over 75 years.

It's only a matter of time.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we are about to make contact.

Get into

the brace position now.

Oh!

Get down.

That was a 7.1.

The first was 6.3.

The plates are moving so fast.

It's not giving off

the usual warning signs,

so we're not picking up

readings until it's too late.

Clearly, you haven't

been analyzing

the information correctly.

Dresden.

How did you get in?

That's your first question?

No wonder you haven't

figured this out yet.

I'm going to need to see

everything you guys got.

Dresden, hi.

Peter Houston,

nice to meet you.

Heard so much about you.

So, I just called.

I didn't expect you to show up.

Think I needed a phone call

to know you needed my help?

I knew you were

in over your head.

Moment those quakes started,

I was on my way.

So, let's get to work.

Everybody, please remain calm.

If you are able to move,

please slowly make your way

to our member of Cabin Staff

in the emergency exit area.

Listen up.

If you are able to move,

please make your way slowly

to the back of the plane.

If you are injured, stay put,

and I'm going to come around

with the first aid kit.

Are you okay, sir?

Sophie?

Sophie, are you alright?

I'm alive.

I'm still in the plane,

but we crashed.

Sweetie, you're alive,

and that's all that matters.

You need to listen to me.

You need to get off that

plane as soon as possible.

You're not safe.

Where are you?

Um...

I think we're in Discovery Park.

I think I see

the fort lot and chapel.

I'll send you my location.

What was that?

I don't know.

It feels like we're n the edge

of a cliff or something.

Everyone!

Get to the back of the plane!

Now!

Sophie? Sophie, your dad

is coming for you.

Sophie!

I'm on my way.

I have the coordinates

for the plane.

They landed in Discovery Park.

They landed.

And she's still alive,

but they are sitting ducks

until the next quake hits.

I'll find her.

I'll be to her soon.

Josh! Joshua?

The lines are down.

Cell towers can't take the

frequencies of these quakes.

How much time do we have?

70 hours to evac

the West Coast

and Central America

before it's swallowed.

-Come on, open the doors.

-Are we gonna be okay?

The front door, it's jammed.

I can't open it.

Do you think if I

smash one of these windows

that we can fit through it?

Maybe you could fit through,

but we're going to need

about 5,000 pounds of force

to break it open.

All right, next option.

Hold on, it's another one.

Captain, you need to leave

the radio and get out now.

The ground is opening.

I need to try every frequency.

No one knows we're here.

You don't have time.

The plane is about to separate.

It's settling.

Are you all right?

I'll be fine.

I think I broke my arm.

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

I think I'm doing okay.

Good. Are you willing and

able to help me?

-Uh, sure.

-Great.

I took a few courses at first

aid in CPR in high school.

Great. That's great.

Then you can help me with the

rest of the passengers, then.

Okay.

We need to get off this plane

before another

earthquake swallows us.

There's a ladder in the rear.

We can use that, okay?

Are there no other flight

attendants? I don't--

No, it's a small plane.

Hey, everyone, we are

going to be performing

an emergency

aircraft evacuation.

I need your complete and utter

cooperation and listen to me.

Okay?

I'm going to leave you

in the hands of...

Sophie.

Sophie, she is going

to help you

while I gather the emergency

equipment.

We need to organize ourselves

so that the injured passengers

get off the plane first.

If we say calm,

we can get through this quickly

and safely together.

Thank you.

Okay, everyone.

What would you do, Mom?

Ladies and gentlemen,

if we want to live,

we need to start listening.

Okay?

We need to get off of this plane

before another earthquake hits

and the only way we do

that is if we work together.

We're going to throw a rope

ladder off the back exit,

and get off the plane.

No rushing.

Please, and thank you.

Whoa!

The quakes have reached

South America

and are heading our way.

How can we slow

the tectonic plates?

Let me show you, okay?

Okay, listen up.

Just imagine this is a plate.

When the plate starts to move

with so much force,

the neighboring plates

have to move.

And the momentum is so great,

they won't stop.

They can't stop on their own.

So what we need is a force so

strong that it'll counteract it.

Simple enough?

Yes, a plate shift in

the opposite direction.

Let's have the tracking

software generate

the precise impact location

for the energy surge

that'll neutralize

the plates momentum.

Okay, I've never used

a program to such a degree,

but in theory,

I suppose it could work.

I mean, I'd have to input some.

Are you still in school?

Just do it and

save those coordinates.

Dresden, come with me now.

We all know how smart you are.

And we are oh

so very grateful that

the mighty Dresden has

graced us with his--

You don't seem to understand.

No, for once,

you don't understand.

This is what we do here,

day in and day out,

and it might not run the

way that you like it to,

but this is the way

I run things.

This is my world,

just the way you have yours.

Milly, it's not about that.

No.

You might not understand this,

but I actually like and care

about the people I work with.

Pretty sure they feel

the same way about me.

And that kid in there,

he might be a nobody to you.

But he has chosen

to stay here and help us

in the best way he can,

even though he has friends and

family back home that need him.

And he knows in the back

of his head

there is a very good chance

he will never see them again.

Is any of this

getting through to you?

Good.

So let's try this again.

-Now...

-Um, actually...

I'm still curious

about the Star Wars reference.

Well, bet you are, Peter.

So the Star Wars project, A.K.A.

Reagan's Strategic

Defense Initiative,

Cold w*r Tech that

would generate

an outer space base shield

that would

render nuclear

missiles obsolete.

Project was dismantled

four years later in '87.

At least that's what

they told the public.

But in fact,

missiles, the lasers,

the particle beam

weapons still exist.

They've been up there the whole

time just adding

to the ever increasing

list of space junk.

I'm confused.

How does this help?

Four years ago,

last administration

signed the National

Defense Authorization Act

where they started to

carry out maintenance

and making it operational.

If we focus the laser on

the plate's eastern edge,

it actually might be

enough to halt it.

Then let's do it.

We can't.

If our enemies knew that

Star Wars exists,

they could use it

to destroy the world.

Dresden, the world

is going to end regardless.

Star Wars is the only way to

stop the plate, than so be it.

There's got to be a better way.

We don't have time.

Every minute we are

wasting millions,

billions of lives

around the line.

I don't think we have

any better ideas.

Nobody asked you.

Then do you have

any better ideas?

One single better idea that

we can implement in time?

No, I don't.

You're right.

Let's implement Star Wars.

Thank you.

Don't thank me yet.

I don't get why the

phone lines are still down.

The backup satellite should

have kicked in by now.

We need a way

to contact Washington.

We can just sit around and wait.

You're on thin ice right now.

Do you have any better ideas?

Yes.

I have a friend that

works for the NSC.

Her office is close by.

I actually went

to college with her.

She worked on the project

the first time around.

She'll have a working line

to Washington.

We're not going to drive

all the way across town.

The parking lot's this way.

Think I parked in there?

Come on, let's go.

Yep.

This is it.

Come on.

It always does this.

Just give it a second.

Come on. Come on.

There we go.

I told you.

Great.

Let's get out of here.

Let's go.

So this friend at the NSC.

Dr. Diane Wright.

Do you think

she'll still be there?

We're still working, aren't we?

She'll be there.

It's her life.

She puts everything

into her work.

Only if the government would

have actually listened to her.

Sir.

I've loaded the coordinates.

It's basically a straight

shot from here.

All units, let's move

to close column.

Keep the speed under 25

on a unit gap

of no more than 50 meters, over.

Copy.

All right.

There's no way around that.

We're completely blocked.

How far are we from the plane?

Not far.

15-20 minutes tops.

But on foot

it'll be over an hour.

Come on, we don't have

that kind of time.

We're out of other options.

No. We can't get

out of the vehicle.

These people need

food and water.

We can't carry

all the supplies,

let alone the medical equipment.

There's got to be another way.

What about the long way around?

Wait. Isn't there a cemetery?

Yes.

Right behind these buildings.

You're right.

All right. Listen.

There was a gate about

a half a mile back.

We get enough speed, we can pull

a rig right through it.

We can avoid

all this rubble.

Copy, Sergeant.

Please be there, Sophie.

Come on. Quick.

I need help.

It's already so bad.

It's only going to get worse

if we don't get it together.

Of course,

we have a dedicated uplink.

Though it's safe to say, I never

expected to utilize the SDI.

From what you're saying,

it seems that this is

our only choice.

General West...

This is Dr. Diane Wright

at the Seattle Comms.

I know who you are, doctor.

Now, if I'm speaking to you,

I'm assuming that Dresden is--

Wes, yeah, I'm here.

I'm not very happy, though.

But you can thank

my sister, Milly.

I'm sure your sister told you

why I needed to speak with you.

Yeah, you need my help.

Before you say anything else,

I want you to know

that I'm willing

to forget the past.

If you help us now,

we make it through,

there'll be no ramifications.

What did he do?

Walked out with the access

and the firing codes

to the weapons that

he's decided to use now.

No country should

have that much power.

Dresden, that's confidential.

I had to, to save the world.

Well, that's what

we're about to do now.

Exactly, which is why we

need you to bring it online.

Our current engineering

team can barely

navigate the archaic

operating system,

not to mention the

firewalls you put in.

Dr. Wright, I understand you're

familiar with this system.

More or less, sir.

Although I was never made

aware that the weapons

that Dresden and I

were working on

were ever being

made operational.

They haven't.

That's why I'm talking to you.

I need the original

engineering team.

So far, our calculations

have been all hypothetical.

There has been no way

to test the system

and no room for error.

Sir, have you seen the

latest plate projections?

Do you want me to run over

the data one more time with you?

Doctor, I respect

your expertise,

but my job is to make

the hard decisions.

Dr. Wright, how quickly can you

get the system up and running?

It's actually up and running.

It's a little clunky, though.

I think your engineers kind

of screwed this thing up.

Need you to sign into

the weapons interface.

Validate initiation

with your SWP code.

Entered.

Who has the coordinates?

I have them.

And once the general

enters his SWP code

and activates the initiation,

I can plug them into server

ID and we can gain access.

-Okay.

-Good.

Captain?

Arthur,

can you hear me?

Be careful.

Okay, guys,

there are three points

we need to target, each at

least 300 miles off the coast.

Way out past

the continental shelf.

Okay, the northernmost point

is in the Gulf of Alaska.

We have 51, 43'33" north,

138, 1'14" west.

The second point halfway down

the plate is 5 22'21" north.

We have 116 48'42" west

and the third perpendicular

to South America is

22 2'4" south,

114 9'25" west.

And you need to set

your angle of entry.

Give me a second

to calculate this.

Aim all the lasers,

so each target will hit it

with an equal force at

an angle of...

42.7 degrees.

If not, we won't

generate enough power.

Or we're going to send these

plates moving

in different

directions altogether.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, if I have the go ahead...

See you on the other side.

Fire.

Fire.

Come on, come on.

Come on, please.

No, no, only two hit.

Something's wrong.

One of the lasers died.

It's not firing.

That's interesting.

It barely made a scratch.

Does it have enough power?

The quake is working its

way up the west coast.

Mexico just got hit.

Just fire again.

-No, no, I can't.

-What do you mean you can't?

They're overheating

and shutting down.

I need to run diagnostics

to find out why.

This was a long shot

to begin with.

It was always a chance

it wasn't going to work.

Let's cut our losses

and ramp up the evacuations.

So that's it.

That was just an exercise

for the US government?

No, wait.

What's the angle of entry?

I set it to 42.7 degrees.

Like you said,

the trajectory must be off.

No, the trajectory is not off.

No, wait a minute.

Your software wasn't

able to fully account

for the axis shift.

Axis shift?

Dresden's right, sir.

Over the past decade,

we've pumped so much

ground water that it

actually altered the axis of the

earth one or two inches a year,

which might not seem like a lot,

but the way these algorithms

calculate the projection,

the slightest discrepancy can

throw the results into a spin.

Can we just recalculate

and fire again?

No, but we can use

the functional lasers

and modify the angle

of entry to compensate.

The angle of entry

is proportional

to the power at the target.

So we lost one third of power.

So we're going to need to

reduce the angle of entry to...

30 degrees to make

up for the loss.

Okay, let's adjust

and try again.

Okay, I am adjusting now.

Oh, no.

Get down, get down!

Down under! Down under!

Come on!

Go, go!

There's a military bunker.

It's not far from here.

That's where everyone

from this building was sent.

It wouldn't be on any map.

You wouldn't know about it,

but it's there.

They have a secure connection.

You have the coordinates,

right, Peter?

Yeah.

Okay, that's your best bet.

You guys have to move.

Move before this

building crumbles, okay?

You're not coming with us?

No.

No, this is where we part ways.

I have to be with my family.

You don't need another body.

Let's be honest, you're

smart enough for two of us.

We both know it.

Look, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't do more

to help you out

when you were let go, Dresden.

I put my job and my

work over our friendship.

And I'd be lying to say

if it...

it hadn't bothered me

every day since you disappeared.

Thank you, Diane.

You really get to know a lot

about people by their actions.

Your actions have

been very clear.

And for your own peace of mind,

I'm gonna let you give me

your ID with access.

And then what do you say?

Call it even.

Thank you.

It's my pleasure.

Stay safe.

Okay.

How long do we have before

these earthquakes wipe us out?

65 hours.

65 hours?

Good luck.

Sophie, are you okay?

I'm here.

I'm alive.

Okay, get down as

fast as you can.

The plane can fall

at any moment.

Come on, around away

from the plane.

That's it!

Hurry!

Come on, away

from the plane.

Your daughter is gonna be okay.

Your niece?

Yeah.

I don't think we can

drive any further.

The grid is down and the

bunker's our only hope

to get back online.

So, this is where we walk.

There's still a few miles out.

This is the only

road to the bunker.

You know, we can't turn around.

And the more we sit

here and discuss it,

we're just getting closer

to the next quake.

Agreed.

So, let's go.

Peter, grab everything

we need out of the van.

We're not coming back.

Got it, this way.

This way.

Gotta make sure the angle

of entry is correct.

This needs to work next time.

These two aren't

going to figure this out.

Hurry up.

Come on, what are you doing?

I gotta use the bathroom.

You can go anywhere.

Certain things I don't do.

Gotta be kidding me.

You guys wait here.

I'm gonna go over there.

He's so strange.

Oh!

Dresden!

Dresden!

Dresden?

-You got it?

-Yeah. Yeah.

-Dresden!

-Dresden!

Can we go?

Oh my God.

Don't come ever

do that again.

What?

What did I do?

Better than dealing

with the roads, huh?

Yeah.

We lost some time,

but not too much.

We should be up on the edge

of the park soon.

Once we get past

the bank up here,

we should be at

the outside perimeter.

The plane's on the

other side of those trees.

There's a fence over there,

but we can figure it out.

That's great.

We're coming in further south.

We're gonna have to drive

a little bit north

to get to the plane.

Good job, Richards.

Thank you, sir.

Okay.

Over here.

Come on.

Hi, how you doing?

I'm Dresden Anderson.

I'm with the National Security

Council,

Disaster Division.

I got orders from

General West, D.C.

This is my sister,

Dr. Milly Anderson,

and her colleague, Peter.

They're seismologists from NEIC.

Look.

We just need to get through.

We lost their

central control tower.

We need a secure

internet connection.

We need to log back

into the NSA server.

Please, just let us through.

Look, I know how this sounds,

but we're part of

a weapons operation

to stop plate movement,

to avoid global devastation.

So maybe you could talk

to a superior

or maybe give

someone our names or...

something you can do.

It's okay.

We got hit, too.

We're moving to

a secure location.

You can jump in one of

the vans out back.

Thank you. I guess our

reputation precedes us.

Let's go.

Still no service.

There's no way

I could have gotten

everyone out that plane

without you.

Thank you.

I grew up with my father

in the military

and my mother is a genius, so...

little disaster oriented.

Speaking of, my dad

is supposed to be coming, but...

But I don't see anybody

getting to us here.

They're coming, okay?

Just... we just gotta

hang tight a little longer.

And wait?

For another earthquake

or for the Earth

to open up again?

We might not get

so lucky next time.

-Okay.

-We need to be realistic.

We need to find a

safe place to stay tonight.

We're already running

out of food...

And water.

My mom's in the NEIC.

She kind of specializes

in this kind of stuff.

But we can't leave them.

I have to stay here

with the injured.

Everyone, everyone listen.

We've made it this far,

but we need food and water.

And the safest thing we can

do is stay here and shelter

while Sophie here

goes to get help.

Okay.

I'm gonna find a way

to charge my phone

and call for a rescue team

to come and bring supplies.

Good luck.

And thank you.

Be careful out there.

Good luck, Sophie.

Yeah.

Peter, are the lasers

up and running?

We're running out of time

for it to be functional.

I ran diagnostics and

I think I know what was wrong.

I just need

a little more time.

Okay.

Can you get us on

the USGS server?

Yeah, it can get us

in anywhere.

We need to focus on

where the crust is weaker.

The plate will have

been loosened already.

Let's keep that as a backup

if we can't get

the lasers up and functional.

Okay.

I'm at it.

Okay. This will need dressing.

Good to see you, man.

-Who's in charge here?

-That would be me.

After we landed, we were hit

badly by the earthquakes.

We lost the pilot

and some passengers.

Okay, we have food and water.

Is this everyone on flight 384?

Yes.

My daughter was on this flight.

-Is it Sophie?

-Yes. Where is she?

She's alive.

But she left.

She said you might be coming,

but wasn't sure how long

you'd be with all the chaos.

Where is she?

I need to find her.

She went in that direction.

Okay.

My men are going to help you.

We're bringing in more

vehicles to come get you.

Thank you.

In the meantime, help everybody

you can, all right?

All right.

Thank you so much.

-Richards.

-Yes, sir.

Sophie's not here, but I have

a good idea where she went.

-I have to go find her.

-I understand, sir.

Jacobs and I will

unpack everything.

Find your daughter.

We'll take care of the rest.

Appreciate you.

Call base. Get some more

men brought up here, okay?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

I've got the USGS site up.

Any new updates or at least

anything new

since we've lost service?

Well, it looks like our

data was correct.

The earthquakes are

already devastating

and they're only getting bigger.

Even the Iceland Greenland

and West Coasts of Europe

are taking earthquake

damage now.

Right.

We need to work faster.

Peter, get into the NSA servers

and initiate the program.

We don't have time

to troubleshoot

the offline weapons.

Log into the USGS

and start pinpointing

the weaker areas

of the Earth's crust.

You're sure this

is going to work

with only a few

operating lasers?

It might.

I mean, it's a calculated risk,

but I mean, I think

we are working

a little on the fly here.

We have no other choice.

Okay, the Oceanic,

Basaltic areas are going

to be our best bet

because they're thinner.

We could try East Pacific Rise?

Smart. New crust is continually

being formed as magma rises.

Okay, get the coordinates

for specific rock formations

along the ridge.

It's a mid-ocean ridge system.

The Earth's crust is younger

and more fragile here.

It's on the Eastern side

of the plate

not far from

the original coordinates.

Okay, let's do it.

Okay. Come on.

Get a stretcher!

Sophie!

Sophie!

Sophie!

Sophie!

Sophie!

Where are you?

Peter, watch the temperature

and the seismic activity

like a hawk when we fire.

As soon as you see

dispersion activity

from the east side

of the plate, pull it back.

Yes, you got it.

And we need the plate movement

to slow to the point

where it can find

its own rhythm again.

It will settle back into

the tectonic energy pattern.

I mean, if we create

too much heat,

we risk giving it

opposite energy

and end up sending it back.

Which would put us back

right where we started.

-Yes.

-Or worse.

The plate boundaries

are already so volatile.

If we push back

with this much force,

the damage would be tenfold.

But you're going to do fine.

He has to.

We don't have a choice.

Thank you, Dresden.

Okay, let's do this.

Okay, initiating lasers.

Stand by.

-What's going on?

-I don't know.

I lost connection.

The lasers are not responding.

The software knows I'm operating

from a different IP connection

and the internal GPS system

won't allow them

to fire on U.S. territory.

I need to reset the parameters.

Okay, how long is

this going to take?

I don't know.

They run on very old tech

Frankensteined together.

Our connection is tenuous.

I'm trying to

overload the system.

Dresden?

We might need to start

preparing for the worst.

We need to override

the onboard GPS.

But how?

If I reroute power and send

the modules into recovery mode,

I may be able to adjust

the targeting system manually.

-Here comes another one.

-Get down.

No, not yet.

Come on.

Okay, just give me a sec.

All right, lasers are

online and locked in.

Let's hope this works.

Ready to fire.

Three, two, one.

The monitor is blank,

but the power is still on.

Is it still operational?

Fire it.

Fire it now!

Come on, come on.

It's dropping.

Okay.

Not opening the champagne yet.

What is it?

We lost connection again?

No, we're hitting the target.

It's still not enough heat.

What do you mean

by not enough heat?

I don't know why,

but the reading suggests

that the plate is generating

so much of its own movement,

I don't think we can stop it.

Are the rock

formations heating up?

Massively, but just not enough

to slow the plate significantly.

And you're sure this is

at maximum intensity?

Yeah, of course.

What happened to

our interval time?

The monitoring software

doesn't know how

to read multiple earthquakes

with multiple magnitudes.

at once in areas

where they normally

wouldn't exist together.

It's unprecedented.

An impossible scenario

until now.

We need to move on.

The lasers failed.

I mean, I guess we

really have no other options.

Nothing made at this scale

can keep up with

the forces of nature.

So, what if it's not man-made?

If we can't affect the

speed of the plate

by doing something to it,

perhaps we can slow it down

by having it

do something to itself.

I don't follow.

What do you mean?

Think about

the plane crash earlier.

How did it reduce its speed?

They have thrust reverses.

That's after it landed.

Okay, in the air that used drag

flaps, spoilers, speed brakes.

Oh, then I suppose they

could try and drop the weight.

They could affect them on them,

But they could only reduce

it within gravity's allowance.

But it still has an effect.

They offload everything

they can.

So, if we apply it to our

model and offload weight,

we might not be able

to stop the disaster,

but we could potentially

introduce a slowdown.

Correct.

We need to get rid of the weight

that's giving the Earth's

crust this extra momentum.

Though it's not really

a build-up of weight,

it is more of a build-up of

pressure at the Earth's core.

Yes, exactly.

Peter, remember the

reporter earlier

who thought there was

an expl*si*n in the sea?

What if we could somehow

use those oil rigs

off the Pacific to slow down

this continental drift

by offloading gas pressure?

We can buy the world

and us some time.

It would have to happen at

multiple locations,

to have any effect on the

entire plate's movement.

Yes, but there are multiple oil

rigs all around the Pacific.

And they're already set up,

and near the fault line.

We could use the oil

rigs like volcanoes.

Yes, exactly, and we can

actually control that.

Along with its

own destructive path.

Right. I am thinking more about

the gases in the Earth's core.

-Like Helium-3.

-Yes.

It'll rise and disperse into

the atmosphere, harmless gas.

We vent pressure from

the plate to the wellbores

on the Pacific plate oil rigs.

Wow.

I thought I was the only

genius in this family.

Helium-3 is attracted

to the heat under the crust.

If we change the pressure

and start venting,

that gas is going to move with

a giant amount of force.

Right.

Speed is our friend right now.

Don't we have pumps

on those platforms?

I believe so, yes.

I'll start researching.

So we use the

pumps on the rig

that they use for oil as a

way of slowing down the helium,

controlling it.

And if that pressure

gets too high

or when we've offloaded enough?

I don't think these pumps are

strong enough on their own.

We need to find a way of slowing

it or cooling it down some way.

Hello? Hello?

Miss, please stop.

This is a restricted area.

I'm looking for my father.

He's a U.S. Army major.

Anderson?

We haven't seen

any armed services.

Do you need help?

Where can I find power

to charge my phone?

There's a school over there.

It's the only building

still standing with power.

But you should wait here.

There's no time.

I've got to go.

Hello?

Hello?

Is anybody in there?

Hello?

Peter, get into

the Bureau of Safety

and Environmental Enforcement,

locate all the

Pacific Ocean oil rigs,

and pull up the

inventory supplies list

from the last round

of inspections.

I have their inventories here.

There it is.

Find the Chemical Directory,

and filter it by

the largest quantities.

Copy.

Most of these rigs have

large liquid nitrogen reserves.

Imagine that's to

handle emergencies.

Yeah, that's perfect.

If you pump the nitrogen

down the wellbore,

it will cool the helium

on contact

and stop it in its tracks.

Then we can pump it back to

regular pressure and seal it.

Then let's find the rigs

closest to the plate boundaries.

I mean, that's where

the helium release

will have the most effect.

Yeah, we just have

to slow it down

enough to stop its momentum.

Not too much or will

be in trouble.

It's risky, but it

just might work.

If we can gain some time,

it's worth it.

Right, you need to coordinate

with multiple rigs.

They all need to

vent simultaneously

if we want maximum impact.

Same goes for when we start

slowing down the gas.

It has to be uniform.

We can use the

government satellites network

to coordinate the timing,

I mean, as long as these rigs

still have connections...

and as much

as I hate to say it,

we're gonna need

approval and cooperation.

Peter, patch a satellite

phone to General West.

This is General West.

General West,

this is Dr. Milly Anderson.

I have my brother still with me.

We need your help again.

The only option we have left

to stop plate movement

is to release pressure

and we've calculated a way.

We can vent

the built up plate pressure

from the divergent boundaries

using the Pacific oil rigs

and the liquid

nitrogen on board.

It sounds like a one in

a million chance, doctor.

Well, at very least it can slow

down the plate's movement

and prevent more

catastrophic quakes,

for at least a few more days.

It's the only option

we have left.

We need you to sign off

on our access

to the satellite network

and mandate

for a master control

of the rigs.

We need to reset the schedules

for the pump timers

and then for

the nitrogen release.

Okay, doctor.

I'll get you your clearances,

but the rigs have to be

in state water, not federal.

I can't get clearance

for federal water.

Peter.

Uh... Yes, sir.

I'll get you an

emergency security clearance

and I'll set you up with

the engineering profile

and data base.

Then you can get in and

do what you need to.

Copy that.

Thank you, General.

Thank you, sir.

Ah!

Sophie!

Dad!

All right, I've managed

to reset the pump systems

and synchronize

the wellbore cycles

on three rigs

off the Washington coast.

How long until we can

start extracting the helium-3?

I'm trying to override

the liquid nitrogen

safety protocols,

but I'm totally locked out.

How so?

Pumping liquid nitrogen

into the wellbore,

is usually a last resort.

It's a safety measure for rigs

about to explode or

the oil pipeline is buckling.

It stops

a catastrophic spill.

It protects the ocean

ecosystem around the rig.

It's not something

that's controlled

by the oil rigs themselves,

but the time this protocol

will ever come in a play

their internal computer system

are completely shut down.

This command has to be sent

from an independent signal

outside the

oil rig central computer.

Like a government data center.

Usually, from a control center

positioned along the coast,

so they have a clear

communication path

and can send a clean frequency.

It needs to be able

to send a signal

in all directions across

the Pacific in real time.

You're right. That's how

we're going to have to do it

if we want all four rigs to

act together and identically.

Starting to sound like

it's not going to happen.

I've been sending

a test frequency

to the coastline beacon

for platform Ellen.

It's not responding.

Is there another beacon?

There is another one

further the down the coast.

Like I said, this

is not common protocol

and this software

on these rigs

was not engineered

with earthquakes in mind.

There's a satellite phone here.

We could send

a frequency with that.

Thank you.

Yes, but we're too low

and we need to be out on

the water for a signal path.

I mean, it's risky, but we might

not have any other options left.

I can't believe I didn't

think of this earlier.

Peter, can you pull up all

the personnel tracker

for active military vehicles

in a 50 mile radius?

This isn't all of them,

just vehicles

that have a satellite

phone on board.

All right, it's perfect.

Okay, zoom in near where

Sophie's plane went down.

There's nothing out there.

You're just wasting your time.

Check closer to that ocean.

Okay.

I knew it, call that vehicle.

Call the satellite phone.

Oh my God, it's ringing.

Never thought I'd be so happy

to hear this sound.

Come on, Josh.

Come on. Pick up.

Hello?

Sophie?

Mom?

I'm so glad you answered.

Milly.

How did you--

I love you.

Sophie's with me.

She's perfectly fine.

Mom, you're alive!

That's really,

really good news.

I'm so happy to hear your voice.

Where are you?

We're gonna come to you.

Are you somewhere safe?

These earthquakes

aren't letting up.

I know.

We're at the NSA base safe.

Even my brother.

Dresden's with you? Why?

Yeah, it's a long story.

But for now, we need your help.

We started to slow down

the tectonic plate movement

that's causing all this,

but ran into a hiccup.

We need you to send

a signal through

to the satellite phone

on your vehicle.

Wait, what?

We have a specific frequency.

I can channel

it through your device

as long as you keep

this line open.

It's for a synchronized

liquid nitrogen dump

on three Pacific

ocean line oil rigs.

The signal needs to be set out

by the ocean

from a high elevation.

Can you do that?

Yeah, I actually

know the perfect spot,

but it's gonna take about

30 minutes to get there,

is that enough time?

No, we don't have a choice.

I thought...

Just get to the spot.

I love you both.

-I love you, too.

-I love you, Milly.

Call me on this number

when you get to that spot.

T minus 30 minutes, and

I'm sending you the signal.

All right, let's get going.

Let's contact the rigs and

make sure they're hands off

so we can override their

systems and start venting

and contact the foreman

at oil platform Ellen.

Have them prepped

for our arrival.

Okay.

What?

I saw a helicopter

on the way in.

We can use it.

I'm gonna go find the pilot.

What, have you guys

never been on a chopper?

Wait, wait, wait.

Someone needs to stay

to dump the nitrogen.

The signal has to be

sent from mainland.

I'll stay.

Getting too old to get on

and off a helicopter anyway.

Are you sure?

I'm staying and you won't

be able to convince him.

Good job.

God, you're stubborn.

Well, I'm glad I was able to

see you at least one more time.

Hey, I am gonna see

you when you get back.

Okay?

Take care of yourself.

Stay safe.

This isn't exactly what

I was imagining,

but at least I can say

I saved the world

when people asked

what I did over break.

Not yet, you can't.

All right, fine.

Maybe now is the right time to

ask all those awkward questions.

You know, if this really

could be the end.

Not the end,

we're gonna be fine.

We're still standing,

but we've been having

these quakes all day.

No structural damage,

thank God.

It's only you here?

There are a few

others here, too.

Everyone not essential personnel

was ordered to evacuate.

I received

the protocol notifications

and I shut our systems down.

Great.

It's set for manual override

so you should be able

to go in and take control.

Dresden, do you copy?

This is Peter,

We're at Platform Ellen.

Do you read?

Loud and clear, kid.

Okay, good.

Great, we are ready

to start, Milly.

Do you think

Josh is in position?

He will be.

Thank you, Rick.

This is great.

We've already walked the other

rigs through the procedure

and we have control

of the oil rigs.

I've never seen government

intervention like this.

What are we talking?

Seattle gonna be flattened?

Multiply that by 100.

Okay. I see.

So how long do we have?

We need to do this now.

Are you ready?

It doesn't sound like

I have much of a choice.

I'm taking control now.

I've initiated

venting the wellbore.

Looks good so far.

It's gonna be venting

for a while.

Okay, it's looking good.

The plates

are starting to slow.

Great, just keep

it steady, Peter.

Copy.

Where's Josh and Sophie?

Talk to me, Peter.

How are we looking?

Stable, the plates...

the plates are slowing.

It's working.

It's actually working.

Let's not get

ahead of ourselves.

We're not out of

the woods yet.

He's right.

It was just a matter

of time before there

was more seismic activity.

We must have disturbed

something with the pumps.

Maybe we moved

the helium too quickly?

No, I ran

the calculations myself.

Right, Peter, turn on the pumps,

try and slow it down.

Okay, going to 50.

This is not good.

The seismic activity

hasn't dropped.

Usually after an

earthquake hits,

we get a drop

in plate activity

before the next one,

but... a break in pressure,

but it's not dropping,

its rising.

Tsunami's hitting

Josh and Sophie's location.

I'm gonna go check it out.

Sophie, grab a walkie.

Josh, Sophie,

are you in position?

Yeah, yeah,

we're here, we're here.

Copy.

I'm glad you made it.

Stand by for the signal.

These pressure gauges

are through the roof.

I see that and I've initiated

the pump sequence.

Have they not engaged?

Are you sure you

manually unlocked them?

Yes, yes.

I ran the procedures

you specified before you arrived

and nothing's changed

since then.

All right, it's rising

across all rigs.

-We need to bring it down.

-All right.

Increase the pumps to 100%.

And drop the liquid nitrogen.

The plate hasn't slowed enough.

We'd be dumping too early.

Increasing pump

pressure to 100%.

Okay, Sophie, stand by.

In three... two...

These gauges are

about to explode.

No! No!

What was that?

Milly, we just lose an oil rig?

Yes.

We just lost one of the rigs.

Oh my god, we

could lose another one.

Get out of there.

Two?

We lost two rigs? How?

Milly, I don't know,

but we need to leave now

or we're going to be in

the next expl*si*n.

Wait, let me think.

You're the only

one left on the rig.

You need to get out of there.

Wait, no, if it was going

to blow it, it would have.

The expl*si*n actually

relieved the pressure

and it bought us

some time.

But Dresden's right.

How much time?

Milly, don't make me

come out there.

Your numbers were off.

What?

Impossible.

I'm sorry,

but they're wrong.

I don't make mistakes.

Well, this time you did

and we don't have

time to argue about it.

We're here now

because of your mistake,

so just let me fix this.

We need to finish

what we started.

We're still here.

What's going on?

We're figuring it out, Rick.

Just keep an eye on

those pressure gauges

and let us know

if they rise, okay?

The plates didn't slow.

I know.

No, I mean, it's moving faster.

We lost so much pressure

on these two rigs,

it sent the plate on

a biased trajectory.

What do you mean?

Okay, into a new movement cycle.

It's almost like

centrifugal force.

The Pacifica plate

has even more momentum

than it did

before it's pivoting.

It's going to change

the entire plate projection.

This is a planetary shift.

How long do we have?

Peter, what's

the new calculation?

Be specific.

Peter, how long do we have?

There's no data

for this, all right?

It's moving on

a different trajectory.

Now, we have no data for this.

We can only study

this in real time.

Milly, there is no way

to stop this now.

We need to accept that the world

may end as we know it.

Josh, stay right where you are.

I'll call you back soon, okay?

-Copy that.

-Okay.

Wait, hold on.

What?

I can't believe I didn't

think about this earlier.

What? I don't follow.

We need to do exactly

what they did.

You want to drop a fission b*mb?

No, not a nuclear b*mb,

but something large enough

that acts

like a nuclear expl*si*n

when it mixes with the heat

and metals at the Earth's core.

We need to call General West.

Talk to me.

We have three hours.

The oil rigs didn't work.

Yeah, I know.

We've been keeping an eye on it.

But you have

one rig left, correct?

Yes, and we need to send an

expl*sive into the wellbore.

I don't see how

that's going to help.

The collateral damage

could be worse

than the earthquake

we're trying to prevent.

Milly, we can't

control it, right?

We can't measure it.

What if we send the plate in

a completely different

direction, like we did before?

I think it's time we accept--

If we don't succeed, the world

as we know it will disappear.

We have to try

and we must succeed.

So what are you

suggesting, Doc?

We send expl*sives down

the middle of the wellbore.

This rig?

We send it down deep enough

away from humanity

where there is no fallout.

Deep enough where it will

push the volcanic magma

to the surface and

then we cool it.

Yeah, with the liquid nitrogen

that we didn't deploy,

it will freeze and harden

the magma along the plate line

and stop the movement

from transferring

from one plate to another,

that's genius.

Pull up the coordinates

of the rig.

We're near enough

to the plate boundary

that with these coordinates

of the plate's

current movement pattern,

we can get the chain reaction

we need to trigger the expl*si*n

all the way down the plate.

But Milly, it's not

100% stable, right?

The pressure on the pumps

is still high.

Rick, gather some

of your workers.

Have them unload all the

missiles on the helicopter.

Doctor, I'm giving

you one more chance.

They we'll have no other option.

Prepare to start evacuations.

I understand, sir.

Is the device ready

to be sent down?

Yes, but the maintenance

pods with the expl*sives,

they are not set up to

handle this kind of weight.

We've never sent anything

like this before.

That's a risk we're

going to have to take.

How's it looking?

Pressure's good.

Keep it steady, Peter.

Looking good on my end, too.

What's going on?

We're slowing down.

It's only halfway

to the detonation depth.

The propellers out, the engine's

gone into power save mode.

I'll have to reset it manually.

I'm going to bring it back up.

How long?

It's not returning.

What do you mean?

It's too heavy.

The rear engines can't manage.

We normally bring it back

and work on it here.

There's a second

maintenance pod with a suit

and tether

that the technicians use,

but they've all evacuated.

One of us can take it down.

It needs to be

tested and prepped

before it's

ready for another trip.

There's only enough

room for one person

and a breathing apparatus.

The oxygen tanks

are only half full.

I don't think it

would be smart--

I'll go.

Maybe you didn't understand me.

There's a chance that you

wouldn't make it back from this.

This is just suicide.

I heard.

I'll prep it.

Milly, you can't.

You're not the only

stubborn sibling.

We don't have a choice.

Milly, I...

I can't have you guys

breaking down on me right now.

And I'm planning on

making it back.

All right, let's do it.

You're getting there, Milly.

Just keep your breathing

slow and steady.

You're right where

you need to be.

You're going to push

the hatch release

and we're going to lower you

down onto the rear of the pod.

You're going to need to push

the release button.

The floor is going to drop

out and you should be

right there

by the manual reset.

Copy.

You're approaching the other

pod, we're slowing you down.

Milly, you need

to breathe slower.

You're burning up

what little oxygen you have.

This is what

I was worried about.

She's not experienced enough.

Connecting

to the second pod now.

Milly, what's going on?

You're breathing too much air.

You need to slow down.

You're going to get

lightheaded and pass out.

Stay with us.

Milly, your family

is counting on you.

Stay with us.

I'm on top of the other pod.

Milly, you have the key.

Use your right hand to reach

into your pocket and grab it.

You need to insert

the manual reset key

and turn it one revolution.

Hold on, Milly.

Just hold on.

She needs oxygen.

The body is going

into a state similar

to nitrogen narcosis.

She's going to get

lightheaded feel euphoric,

and her short-term memory

is going to disappear.

Mom...

We did it!

We did it.

It worked.

We're back online.

Milly, we're bringing you up.

Keep your arms at your

sides and stay with us.

Mom?

Hold on.

The expl*si*n worked.

We need to cool now, drop them.

Nitrogen

in three, two, one.

Sending signal.

Dad, what was that?

I thought we stopped

the earthquakes.

I thought we did, too.

Maybe it was from the rig.

Let's get out of here. Come on.

I don't know if

she's still with us.

I'm using the emergency purge

to bring her back

up to us faster.

She's about to pass out.

Her oxygen levels are too low.

We have to get her

to a hyperbaric chamber.

We do not have one on the rig,

but I know where

the nearest one is.

This is her only chance,

or she's not going to make it.

She's out of air.

Peter, I brought her up.

I need you to meet me and

help her get in the chopper.

On my way.

Hold on,

Milly, just hold on.

Hey.

Peter... Dresden.

-Yes, Milly, we're here.

-We're here.

How do you feel?

-I'm fine.

-Good.

I thought we lost you.

Don't scare me

like that again, okay?

Also, I checked

those numbers again.

And how did you know

the rig wouldn't--

Dres... Sometimes you

just know the answer.

You don't have to wait

for the math to catch up.

Terrific.

Oh, it's good to have you back.

Doctor Anderson, you saved

millions, billions of lives.

Thank you.

When you're feeling better,

I'd like you to come to D.C.

and help us better prepare

for something like this

in the future.

-Bring Peter.

-Me?

And your brother.

I'll think about it,

but no promises.

Yes, sir.

We'll be there.

Sophie, Josh!

Oh, my God.

Well, I guess that's our cue

to head to the vending machines.

-Thank you.

-Hey, Peter.

Uncle Dresden!

-Mom!

-My gosh!

Come here.

I'm so glad you're okay.

General.

Major.

We're here.

You did it, Milly.

We all did it.

Well, I'm going to give

you guys some time alone

so I'm just going to go down

the hall, but I will be back.

And you're all going to

be seeing me a lot more.

So I'm going to go.

How did you know there'd be

just enough oxygen to get back?

Dresden told us

what you did, Mom.

You're very crazy.

But I love you.

Yeah, I didn't know.

But I couldn't let the world end

with all of you still on it.

Marking the

one-year anniversary

of the Seattle Shake,

Space Needle reopens

its doors to the public.

Our very own Dr. Milly Anderson

will cut the ribbon.
