[eerie music]

[lava roaring]

[dramatic music]

[bird chirping]

[woman moaning]

[dog barking]

What is going on with that dog?

What dog?

Jonas never barks like that.

I don't hear any barking.

[barking loudly]

[dog whimpering]

[sighs] Probably just a raccoon.

He'll be quite in a minute.

Come on!

He never barks like that.

Let's make sure he's OK.

It'll only take a second.

All right.

Twist my arm.

Yes, yes, I'm coming.

I'm coming.

Go!

Jonas!

Always got to be the center of attention, huh?

You know, if it wasn't for you right now, I'd be--

all right, what you got, boy, something in the well?

[dog growling]

Crazy mutt!

All right, let me see what's got you all worked up.

[splashes]

Nothing to worry about.

[whimpers]

Now listen, dog, I'm going back up to my wife.

And if I hear another noise out of you, I'll neuter you again.

I'll find a way.

[low rumbling]

[dog barking]

[dramatic music]

[screams]

[birds chirping]

What about "sacrificed?"

No, no, it's got to be worse than that.

I'm thinking "castrated."

Ooh!

Or "flogged," flogging is coming back this year.

- Really? - Mm-hm.

Oh.

What are you two talking about?

The sign we ignored back there, the one that said,

no trespassing.

DECKER: Yeah, the punishment was scratched out.

Hey, what if it's a good thing, you know,

like prize money?

You don't see that, huh?

"Trespassers will be rewarded!"

Whoo!

You know, how you two ever got PhDs is beyond me.

Well, you gave them to us.

[beeping]

Oh!

Look at this.

Dioxin?

Out here?

Whoa, look at the CO2 levels.

Yeah, and they're getting higher all day.

And you were right. Something's going on.

Well, they better stop, or we're not going to be able to--

--breathe.

We should check the water.

[eerie music]

Aw, look.

OK, I'm officially getting freaked out.

Wow.

DECKER: Oh, no. He's amazed.

That's never good.

I feel an epiphany coming on.

Osmium nitrate.

In the water?

That's impossible!

No, you finding a woman, that is impossible.

Finding one of the rarest minerals

on Earth floating in this lake water, highly unlikely.

DECKER: Shot.

What?

Violators will be shot.

I'll take care of this.

Yeah.

Uh, hey, I'm from Washington State University, and--

MAN: You're trespassing, college boy.

[dramatic music]

Let's get them!

[gunshot]

They're shooting!

Whoa!

Let's get out of here!

Come on! Keep moving!

Let's go!

[panting]

Damn you, low-carb diet!

Looks like we lost them.

(GASPING) I think I left my lungs back there.

Come on, we've got bigger problems.

Let's go.

OK.

I'm too out of shape for field work.

[waterfall gushing]

Osmium nitrate, I thought that was

only found in lava deposits.

It is.

You know, this area isn't exactly

known for its robust lava flow.

[beeping]

[rumbling]

[lava roaring]

Run.

Run!

Run!

BLACK: I don't know, Jake, that looked like a pretty

robust lava flow to me!

We've got to get to the lab.

[engine roaring]

[tires screeching]

[beeping]

Here, give me the [inaudible] figures.

What do they say?

Uh, 9.3, 9.5--

Yeah, 10.5, 11.3?

Yeah, how did you know?

Jake, what's happening?

The hazard zones are shifting.

[lava rumbling]

[cars honking]

Yeah, I'm just on my way down there.

[rumbling]

Oh!

WOMAN: Oh, my god!

[steam hissing]

[screaming and chaos]

[dramatic music]

We just got an update on the casualty report.

It's rising by the hundreds.

Is the White House going to issue a statement?

Just the basics.

We want some hard facts before we go public with anything.

Well, analysis has confirmed that it

is the result of deep seismic disruptions

below the Earth's crust.

Whose analysis?

Dr. Drake.

Palmer Drake and deep seismic disruptions,

tell me that's a coincidence.

Like I said, the information is still trickling in.

Yeah, well, I'd appreciate it if it

would trickle a little faster.

I have to brief the president in one hour.

We have to brief the president.

And you're getting it as fast as I am.

Let's not jump to any conclusions.

Hey, no one's pointing fingers at Project DEEP, yet.

Is Drake in there?

He's waiting on us.

WOMAN (ON TV): As we can see, some areas of the suburbs

have suffered damage nearly as extensive as downtown.

Hundreds of homes are damaged.

And the search will go on for hours

to determine if anyone remains trapped

in the collapsed structures.

So far, the greatest number of casualties and the greatest

damage reported has been from the structural failure

of several sections of highway five,

but the devastating power of-- - Palmer--

WOMAN (ON TV): --this unpredicted quake

is visible across the region.

-- I got here as fast as I could.

WOMAN (ON TV): Preliminary reports

indicate that the quake had a--

Marsha Crawford's here from the NSA, with General Fielding.

And you know they're going to try and stick this on us.

Stick what on us?

Earthquakes?

Yeah.

That's a little paranoid, don't you think?

WOMAN (ON TV): --producing the [inaudible]

of [inaudible] mountain ranges.

The epicenters are not of surface origin.

They're coming from 25 miles underground.

Tell me that's a coincidence.

Yeah, but most probably it's due to lithospheric flexure.

But you try and tell that to someone

when you've got a nuclear device drilling in the area.

We charted the routes and double-checked

the drill zones for stability.

Do you think we could have made a mistake?

No!

No, this has nothing to do with us.

Crawford's just looking to make a name for herself.

Lord knows she's never been a fan of this project.

I don't care what's on Crawford's agenda!

We were down there.

We can't ignore the fact that these two

incidents may be related.

OK, I'm not ignoring the facts!

I'm trying to look at the bigger picture.

No, that is the bigger picture!

WOMAN (ON TV): Emergency services

also request that only those with urgent need

use the roads, keeping them free for ambulances and fire trucks.

Jake was right.

Don't start.

Have you called him?

No!

And I'm not going to.

That's a huge mistake.

Yeah, well, you didn't fire him.

I did.

Jake is not part of this anymore, OK?

[door opens]

General Fielding.

Dr. Drake.

Marsha Crawford.

Well, doctor, I'm sure you have

a long-winded and self-flattering

explanation for all of this.

Let's hear it.

You know, some animals can sense seismic disturbances.

And these fish are really acting weird.

It's got to be electromagnetic pulses from the inner core.

Or the oregano I fed them yesterday.

We are out of fish food again.

Look, just lay off the fish, will you?

Get over here and help me dig out these flies.

OK, what are they labeled?

Project DEEP, Deep Earth Energy Probe.

Well, that's under M. Yeah, here they are.

JAKE ROLLINS: Here it is.

The data we collected this morning

was the same as the simulation I ran four years ago,

which showed a huge tear in the lithosphere.

Wow.

That would explain where the lava came from.

Uh, speaking of hot, who is this?

DECKER: Who is she, Jake?

JAKE ROLLINS: Just an old friend.

[knock on door]

Dr. Jake Rollins?

Yes.

Excuse me for the interruption,

sir, but you'll need to come with us.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, by whose orders?

The President of the United States.

Please, sir, right away.

I understand.

Uh, just Dr. Rollins, gentlemen.

Sorry.

No, no, wait a second.

These guys work with me.

Now, they may not look like geniuses, but believe me,

they are.

If you need me, you're going to need them.

[dramatic music]

These are the latest ETS results from the White House.

Flexure.

Yes.

We've lost half of Seattle, and I'm going to go

to the president with flexure.

It's an extreme example, I know,

but it is not unprecedented.

Palmer's been the point man on this operation

since its inception, and he knows what he's talking about.

Yeah, well, that's just great.

But I'm still going to recommend that we shut

down Project DEEP indefinitely.

And I'm going to recommend that we don't.

It would be inappropriate to make such a hasty decision

without more information.

GENERAL FIELDING: He's right.

We're at a critical point in this operation.

We can't just turn tail without all the facts.

Facts, that's what you're going to get.

This is a memo Dr. Jake Rollins submitted when the project

was in its developmental stage.

In it, he warns of possible side effects of your deep energy

drilling, side effects, by the way,

eerily similar to exactly what's going on right now.

Yeah, Dr. Rollins is a wild card.

He'll say anything to get attention.

Yeah, well, he's got my attention.

[door opens]

Dr. Rollins, nice to see you again.

JAKE ROLLINS: Mrs Crawford.

This is General Fielding.

I think you know everybody else.

Oh, yeah, we go way back.

GENERAL FIELDING: I'm assuming you've been brought up

to speed on the latest intel.

Yeah.

MARSHA CRAWFORD: And what's your take on the situation?

Well, you know, I'm not a religious man,

but I think this is what the Bible-thumpers

call "Armageddon."

You know what, this is crazy. I'm not going to stand for this.

Where are you going, Palmer? Seattle?

That's enough.

Yeah, you know what, it is enough, OK?

Let's just stop the dog and pony show right here.

Project DEEP, it's operational, isn't it?

You know how I know that?

I got-- I got osmium nitrate floating around

in ponds, like it's algae.

I spent the morning being chased by a river of lava.

What the hell did you people drill--

This has nothing to do with Project DEEP, Jake.

Oh, and let me guess.

He dazzled you with his eloquent little theory on flexure.

God, I can't believe you did it.

KAREN WEST: We were meticulous every step of the way.

We took every precaution, calculated and recalculated.

Well, somebody forgot to carry the one.

Jake, Jake, you're wrong.

This is an unrelated, unforeseeable act

of nature, period. - No--

PALMER DRAKE: No, you are angry because Project

DEEP is a success.

You know, we have a tap into enough energy to power North

America for 100 years, Jake!

North America, it's not going to be here in 100 years.

You don't know what you're talking about!

In your blind quest for energy,

you have done something that's going

to split the planet in half!

What are you talking about?

Split-- that's an exaggeration, right?

Not much, thanks to his ego!

Hey, you know what that is?

Oh, don't tell me--

Spartan GT supercomputer!

What did I just say?

I wonder where they're taking it.

Let's find out.

Lock and load.

From everything I've seen, these subduction zones here,

all along the Pacific Rim, all the way up to the Aleutian

trench, have somehow moved.

Jake, what are you getting at?

You guys drilled into a pocket of underground gas.

You know what, you don't know that.

It's the only possible explanation

for what's going on, Palmer.

Not necessarily.

There is another possible explanation.

Yeah, like what, Karen, a natural bend

in the lithosphere?

I don't think so.

You know that's not what's going on here.

English, please.

[sighs] The subduction zone, when the gas in the pocket they

breached escaped, the plates above started collapsing toward

the core, where they melt. And that creates more liquid magma.

More magma, more pressure behind it, looking for a place

to get out.

That's how you get volcanic eruptions.

It's like-- it's like this jelly donut, OK?

Jelly inside, that's the magma.

Now, as the plates continue to collapse and melt,

jelly's got to go somewhere.

So this is going to get a lot worse.

A lot of jelly down there.

[dramatic music]

General?

Well, Jake, it's good to see you haven't changed a bit.

Still preaching the doom and the gloom, huh?

Well, it's your funeral, Palmer.

I'm just glad I got invited.

Now it's all of our funerals if we don't find a solution.

That's right.

So the sooner you get with the program,

the better we'll all be, OK?

What's the program, huh, you drilling a big hole

in the world, so that--

Just stop it, both of you!

All right, if there's one thing I know, it's this.

Whatever it was that happened down

there is going to need to be fixed down there.

Now, you scare these people into closing us down,

and we're never going to be able to correct this mess.

I'm suspending Project DEEP, effective

immediately, until the situation gets under control.

This is my project.

You don't have the authority for that.

Like hell I don't.

Not without my consent.

And I'm not giving it until I have concrete evidence.

Concrete evidence?

What the hell have you been listening

to for the last 20 minutes?

Well, Jake made some convincing arguments.

But Palmer's been the brain behind DEEP

from the very start.

I'm not about to cast him aside.

No one's talking about casting anyone aside.

I'm talking about finding a solution.

Think about the repercussions of what we're talking about.

The political fallout could destroy

this administration, not to mention that career

of yours along with it.

You seriously think I'm worried about my career

right now?

Look, do this my way, Marsha.

We could all come out of this looking like heroes.

We need to make sure the human race

comes out of this, General.

OK, Jake, you saw this coming down the pipe.

Any ideas how to fix it?

I got a couple.

But I-- Karen did most of the drilling.

I'm going to need her input.

Sir, with all due respect, no one knows

more about DEEP than I do.

You know, textbook educations are

fine for the classroom, Jake.

But in my line of work, it's hands-on experience

that counts.

OK, we've got our team then.

Dr. Rollins, you're going to join

Dr. Drake and Dr. West here to try

and figure out our next step.

You guys have 48 hours.

But--

It's not an offer.

It's an order.

I suggest you start working on your proposal.

[rumbling]

MAN (ON TV): [inaudible] caused by downed

power lines in the outlying areas are

keeping emergency crews busy--

JAKE ROLLINS: As destructive as earthquakes are,

they are not the real problem.

We have to stop the plates collapsing.

Which brings us back to the subducting zones.

Yes.

We've got to find a way to reset them.

Otherwise they keep melting, make more magma.

So once we determine the exact amount of energy

that moved the plates--

JAKE ROLLINS: Well, then we use the exact same amount of energy

to shift them back.

So where do you propose we do this?

Ficus!

Hey, guys--

What the hell!

[inaudible] got here.

Now, guess what this is.

A Spartan GT supercomputer.

(EXASPERATEDLY) Again with the--

the Spartan GT supercomputer has 15 Protech microprocessors,

all humming along at 7.5 gigahertz,

with a total combined drive capacity

of over three terabytes.

Well done.

Yeah, we thought it might come in handy.

Where did you get this?

Oh, we know a guy.

Yeah, it's going to take us a few minutes

to get it warmed up, though.

Good, because I could use some air.

[music playing]

You OK?

Yeah, we'll figure it out.

You know, I can't believe you have anything to do with this.

Don't start.

You know what could happen.

I'm not going to let you do this to me right now.

You know, after all this time, I still don't understand.

Jake, they gave me unlimited resources

to build exactly what I've always dreamed of building.

You know what, I did it.

That's what scientists do.

You let it get personal.

That's what scientists don't do.

I'm so tired of doing this dance with you.

I'm not the same woman who looked

up at you with those puppy-dog eyes all those years ago.

You're just mad because I made a choice that didn't

involve following your lead.

You know what, choice is irrelevant.

No, the choice itself is everything.

Why are you so angry?

How can you ask me that?

Look at what we're dealing with.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Oh!

You know what I mean.

Yeah, don't flatter yourself, all right?

We were over a long time ago.

Yeah, we were.

BLACK: Hey, Jake, Spartan's online, and Palmer's running

the first blast calculations.

Exactly what kind of explosion are we talking about?

PALMER DRAKE: Initial calculations

indicate something about 4,000 times the Hiroshima bomb.

Oh, for the love of God, this is insane.

This is the Ring of Fire, chain of active volcanoes

that surrounds the Pacific.

Next couple of days, as the magma levels start to rise,

these things are going to start exploding.

The ensuing ash cloud will be unlike anything

this planet has ever seen.

That is insane.

Make no mistake, we're talking about

an extinction-level event.

Palmer, Karen, you concur?

Definitely.

We think so, yes.

And this is the only way.

Yes, it is.

Can you get them that kind of firepower?

If that's what it takes, then that's what we'll deliver.

JAKE ROLLINS: Now, we just need to calculate

where to place our blast.

Print that.

Look at this.

KAREN WEST: From our calculations,

it looks like this.

This is the exact seismic force that

struck the tectonic plates.

Decker--

DECKER: Yo.

Give me this.

This pinpoints the exact location

of where we're going to have to put the manufactured blast.

Actually, Spartan's asking for two blasts.

Two-- guys, I need everything over here.

Come on!

It should be coming out.

[printer whirring]

OK, all right, look, these are the subduction areas, right?

Now, with the magma yield that we're expecting

in the next 72 hours, I--

is this right?

To the last decimal point.

God.

What?

What is it?

This is about to get a lot worse.

Spartan says we have to place the charges

25 miles below the surface.

So we blast.

[dramatic music]

PALMER DRAKE: If the Cascades are waking up,

we're running out of time.

KAREN WEST: We can take the mining route till here.

After that, we have to splinter off.

That leaves us another 10 miles to go.

And you're sure that we can get deeper?

That's 25 miles.

Wait till you see what she's created, Jake.

The Mole's the most amazing machine I've ever seen.

Mining's kept us busy at 15 miles.

We haven't had a need to go deeper.

But the Mole, it's--

it's unstoppable.

It'll go where I take it.

Lucky for us, this area was pretty active at one point.

These lava [inaudible] cut out some time,

I could figure out a way to map them all together.

That way we won't be blasting through solid rock

the whole way.

Solid rock isn't an obstacle.

Solid rock isn't the obstacle.

PALMER DRAKE: We're entirely run by geothermal energy,

the entire facility.

We've been able to use that energy

to support our mining operations for the last two years.

But it was about eight months ago,

the real discovery came, liquid tritium.

KAREN WEST: 12 miles down, tapped

into it like a natural spring.

PALMER DRAKE: It was enough to fuel our rapid fusion reactors

for the next 100 years.

Thanks, dad, we're going to hang out at the food court.

PALMER DRAKE: It's like being reunited with a lost

loved one, isn't it, Jake?

Don't worry, I don't expect compliments.

DEEP does exactly what I said it would do.

Don't get me wrong.

I'm not discounting your help.

But I wonder, is it bittersweet, seeing

your vision realized by someone else when it

so easily could have been you?

Palmer, you've used it to bring

the world closer to destruction than it's ever been.

That's not bittersweet, just bitter.

Dr. Drake.

General.

[dramatic music]

Major McEwan, Dr. Drake.

Congratulations, doctor.

Major McEwan's department has been

commissioned to explore the potential uses

of Project DEEP's energy.

For the military.

For America, Dr. Rollins.

And we're fortunate to have what he's come up with.

We've basically shrunk down your rapid fusion reactors,

added blasting caps to activate the cores, and--

--made it a bomb.

GENERAL FIELDING: The blast is equal to a 4,000 megaton

nuclear bomb, with limited radioactive fallout.

Don't look so surprised, Dr. Drake.

This is a logical adaptation of your technology,

and using it to push those tectonic plates back

may prevent a global catastrophe.

Now, the major here and Captain Hayward

will be joining you on your trip.

And only they will have the activation

codes to the fusion reactors.

Is that clear?

Good.

Is there anything else?

No, no, as long as the fallout's only limited.

Fine, we've got one hour before launch.

(SOFTLY) Let's go.

MAN (ON TV): The reawakening of Mount Adams from dormancy,

and its release of gases and ash into a massive Plinian eruption

cloud, hints at a dangerous shift in magma pressure, say

geologists.

Events now happening in Long Valley, California

seem to confirm this theory.

Although an active geological zone,

you are seeing the first surface event there in over 500 years.

This is the first lava geyser in the continental US

in recorded history.

DECKER: Wow.

BLACK: Wow.

[whistles]

Incredible.

It's asleep now.

Wait till it wakes up.

Then you'll see.

Karen, it's incredible.

Thank you.

The name sucks, though.

What?

The name.

I'm sure it's an awesome machine, but come on, The Mole?

Yeah, well, it travels underground.

BLACK: Yeah, like a mole.

We get that.

But I mean, you spend like how many years building this thing

and like two and a half minutes thinking of the name.

You might as well have called it "The Hamster."

JAKE ROLLINS: Give it a rest, will you?

Go, leave.

Now, Apollo, that was a name.

Word to that.

WOMAN (OVER PA): T minus 45 minutes to launch.

Well, I guess we should get suited up.

Yes, sir, understood.

[inaudible]

When did you turn this into a weapons program?

You think we pay for all this just to cut back on gas?

This-- this was never even brought up to me.

I don't need your authorization,

nor your blessings, for that matter.

Everything you build, find, or discover

is property of the US government.

You're still getting everything you ever wanted.

You're changing the world.

Hey.

Hey.

What happened here?

I haven't seen that before.

Did you fall down the stairs or slip in the shower?

[laughs]

Very funny.

No, actually, I was out-running the bulls in Pamplona.

Ah, not all of them, evidently.

No, not all.

When did you start running with bulls?

I don't know.

Probably about the time you started

wearing your hair short.

[music playing]

WOMAN (OVER PA): T minus 20 minutes to launch.

[dramatic music]

GENERAL FIELDING: Gentlemen, [inaudible]..

MAJOR MCEWAN: Thank you, sir.

GENERAL FIELDING: Best of luck, captain.

[inaudible]

Thank you, sir.

Sir.

MARSHA CRAWFORD: General, what orders did you

just give those two Marines?

I told them to follow strict military protocol.

Which is?

Those aren't 4th of July fireworks

I'm sending them away with.

If anything should go wrong, they've

been given orders to take whatever

measures necessary to secure the mission.

And their mission is the same as our mission.

Correct?

You know, I don't like the feeling

of being kept in the dark, neither does the president.

I've served under three presidents before this one.

And not once has my quality of service

ever been called into question.

Well, if it has anything to do with this mission whatsoever,

I want to know about it before it happens.

Is that clear?

[dramatic music]

WOMAN (OVER PA): T minus 5 minutes to launch.

You come highly recommended, captain, good eye for detail,

or so they tell me.

Yes, sir.

Any details you think I should know about?

You spend a lot of time in Africa, don't you, major?

That scar on your left hand looks like a bite

from a Kenya puff adder.

You have calluses on your fingertips, long thumbnail,

you play guitar?

12-string?

[clears throat]

You clear your throat a lot.

Probably an inner ear virus.

You might want to get that checked out.

It could get worse.

Yes, thank you, Captain.

You're welcome, sir.

You know, I--

I got to say.

This is amazing.

I mean, look at that.

All these gauges, colored readouts,

feels like you're at a satellite dish.

It'd really be cooking.

Oh, he's navigating?

Yes, I'm navigating.

Suck it up, Palmer.

Don't make me bring up that road trip to Joshua Tree.

OK, Palmer, just drop it, OK?

We were kids.

Five hours driving through the desert till we ran out of gas?

Typical stubborn Jake Rollins move.

Yeah, well, you know what?

I didn't have one of these back then.

Now we're in good hands.

And you still owe me $500 bucks from the tow truck.

Boys, enough, all right?

On your cue, Palmer.

Guidance navigation?

Guidance navigator go.

PALMER DRAKE (ON COMMS): Drill blade activator?

KAREN WEST (ON COMMS): Drill blade activator operational.

PALMER DRAKE (ON COMMS): Fusion procedures?

KAREN WEST (ON COMMS): Check, fusion procedures.

PALMER DRAKE (ON COMMS): Network extensions?

KAREN WEST (ON COMMS): Full extensions.

PALMER DRAKE: Cabin pressure stabilizer?

Uh, it's a go.

PALMER DRAKE (ON COMMS): Thermal incinerator?

KAREN WEST (ON COMMS): 100%.

OK, run core diagnostic.

That's a go.

PALMER DRAKE (ON COMMS): Hydrocarbon systems?

KAREN WEST (ON COMMS): Check, hydrocarbon systems.

PALMER DRAKE (ON COMMS): Engage full drive.

KAREN WEST (ON COMMS): Engaged.

All systems are reading satisfactory, Command.

I'd like to cut the cord.

MARSHA CRAWFORD (ON COMMS): Roger, Mole.

Initiating final countdown.

All right, boys.

Let's buckle up.

Coordinates locked.

I'm in.

Upload complete.

Mole to Command.

We'd like to say our farewells, and we

plan to see you back here safely in 22 hours and seven minutes.

Can I have a go, no-go for descent?

MARSHA CRAWFORD (ON COMMS): Roger, Mole.

You are go for descent.

Repeat, you are go for descent.

Let's do it.

Godspeed, brave souls.

The Seattle event is just the beginning

as this morning's disaster has spread

fear and panic throughout the entire North

American continent.

Experts warn these Plinian clouds behind me

are just a harbinger of things to come.

And with no one certain as to the exact extent of the damage

and volcanic activity steadily on the rise,

one question is on the minds of all--

will this end, or is this the end?

Stay tuned for further updates throughout the day.

I'm JC Kenny.

I got to say, the ride is smoother

than I thought it would be.

Well, to put it simply, I designed

the cabin like an air bubble.

We'll always float level.

Good, 'cause I don't want to spend the next 24 hours

mashed up against that console.

Cut me some slack, will you?

Hey, slack is being cut, sir.

I am very impressed.

Yeah, well, this is just the opening act.

There's a headliner coming in.

It's going to knock your socks off.

The End-Permian Extinction-- some 250 million years ago,

Permian age came to an abrupt end.

Over 95% of all life on Earth was destroyed.

Recent geological studies suggest

the cause of mass extinction to be a flood

eruption of volcanic activity in Siberia

known as the Siberian Traps.

Scientists believe the eruptions were 10,000 times

larger than man has ever seen.

How can we prepare for such a disastrous event?

How will your job be affected?

Stay tuned for all the latest updates and information

right here.

I'm JC Kenny.

How long you been in the corps, Captain?

Two years.

Last 10 months were the force recon.

Force recon.

Well, then I guess that must be adrenaline

because it sure as hell better not be fear.

No, sir.

You like to hunt, Captain?

Sometimes, Major.

Yeah, me too.

I was hunting one time up in Alaska,

got separated from my group.

Night was coming on.

Temperature dropped down to 20 below.

I was shaking so bad, my teeth were

chattering-- first with cold and then from the fear,

fear I was gonna die.

And then I saw 'em--

a big, 16-point buck standing right in front of me.

Quietly, I raised my rifle and--

bang.

Shot him right in the head.

What little strength I had left, I crawled over and sliced

him open, throat to belly.

Crawled inside.

Can you believe it?

He kept me warm until my group showed up the next morning.

The very thing I went to hunt and kill

ended up keeping me alive.

KAREN WEST: Command, this is Mole.

We've reached maximum depth of mining excavations.

Ooh, they're reaching the end of the mine shaft.

This should be good.

Drill blade activator?

Drill blade activator go.

Command, we are bringing blades up to full rotation

for the next phase.

They're entering the lava tube.

Dr. West, may I stand, please?

Yeah, be my guest, Captain.

What do you use to cut through the rock?

Frequency pulse?

TIMI.

TIMI?

Yeah, Thermal Ionic Mass Incinerators.

Thermal Ionic Mass Incinerators.

Sounds pretty hot.

We use hydrocarbon diamond lenses.

And if we ever find a material tougher than a diamond,

we'll use that.

Jack up the power, cut through the rock faster.

Your cobalt matrix materials have

been a great help to our troops in the Gulf, Doctor.

That kind of heat resistance, they

can walk straight into an oil fire and put it out.

It's amazing here.

We're looking for other uses, as well.

The benefits to the military are of absolutely

no interest to me, Major.

I do not appreciate having my research diverted to make

weapons of mass destruction.

[monitor beeping]

Whoa, what's got Palmer so jumpy?

Too much junk food.

Hm?

I'm good.

Hey, I had no idea they would hijack my work.

Paul, you were being funded by the military.

What did you think was going to happen?

You had the luxury of being an armchair quarterback, Jake.

Yeah, well, you were just a coach

who was too stupid to realize you didn't own the team.

REPORTER (ON TV): The eruption of the Sakurajima volcano

in Japan following the powerful tremor

in Auckland, New Zealand, shows that the pattern

of geologic heating--

The Ring of Fire is heating up.

REPORTER (ON TV): --faster witnessed

on the US West Coast--

Just like Jake said.

REPORTER (ON TV): --is now being repeated across the Pacific.

Tonight's dramatic lava outburst in Redoubt, Alaska,

shows the destructive power and growing

frequency of geological events here in North America.

Explosive showers of lava set fire

to vegetation on the surrounding slopes,

and now a huge forest fire is raging out of control.

But the devastation caused by this inferno

pales next to the unanswered questions--

how many more of these unprecedented lava outbreaks--

That's solid rock.

Yeah, looks like that does it for the lava tubes.

Just going to take me a minute to get TIMI up to speed.

Major McEwan, we good?

Just waiting for the in-flight movie to start.

Mole to Command, and we'd like to activate TIMI.

Stand by.

Mole to Command, come in.

[distorted garbling]

What is it?

I don't know.

We're getting some kind of interference.

Karen, this is General Fielding.

We can't read you clearly.

Can you repeat that?

[distorted garbling]

Mole to Command, come in?

What's wrong?

KAREN WEST: I don't know.

We just lost communication.

What the hell was that?

The G-band readings--

the size of this field is off the chart.

Strap in.

What does that mean?

What are you talking about?

Magnetics-- that lava flow has a magnetic field.

Stick to that thing like super glue.

Get us the hell out of here!

Still waiting on TIMI to get up to speed.

What are they doing?

Are they moving sideways?

Karen!

Come on!

Come on, Karen!

Hold on!

Come on.

That's solid rock ahead.

It's solid rock, babe!

Just trust me on this one, all right?

Karen!

Hang on!

There you are.

Oh, oh.

Woo!

How does it compare to running with the bulls?

It's right up there.

You don't say?

How did that little joy ride affect our heading?

It moved just a little bit, but I'm

putting in new coordinates now.

Let's see if you can get communication back on.

All right.

PALMER DRAKE: Mole to Command, do you copy?

Come in, Command.

This is Mole.

Well, they're really cooking now.

OK, let's see what we can do to reestablish contact.

We need to know what the hell's going on out there.

On it.

Boy, I'm sure glad they don't have us hooked

up to those heart monitors.

Dude.

What?

Get in there.

In where?

Her eyes were working you like a CAT scan, buddy.

Get in there! - Really?

Yeah.

No.

This could be our last night on Earth.

Hi.

Hey.

So you, uh, you live in DC?

Mhm.

Cool.

You, uh, you party?

You know, clubs.

Cool.

This is more serious than we thought.

Damn it, Andrew.

Don't ask questions.

There's no time to explain.

Just trust me on this.

Get your things and start heading east.

It doesn't-- just listen to me.

It doesn't matter where you go.

Just go.

I'll find you.

You think it's fair to give certain people a head start?

When were you planning to tell the other 6 billion

loved ones of the catastrophe heading their way?

Don't jump the gun.

Let's give our team a fighting chance.

Look, General, the White House needs

to be prepared with a response, not

to mention a plan of action.

If you are even thinking evacuation,

we need to go public.

Great, but let's break it to the networks.

That'll surely prevent a widespread panic, won't it?

Just how long do you plan to keep this a secret?

Don't forget who appointed you.

We work for a government that protects its people

when they need it, all of them.

Our government has its hands full as it is.

If your Dr. Rollins and the crew of the Mole

are successful in their mission, then we will have done our job.

Then we agree--

protecting yourself doesn't even make the list of priorities,

right?

Is this the beginning of something worse?

From the satellite images I've just seen,

it seems plausible that some kind

of catastrophic environmental change

will occur over the coming months

if these Plinian clouds continue to spread.

Normal everyday life across the planet

will have to conform to a new way of living.

One would expect temperatures to drop as the heat from the sun

is blocked.

But our team of researchers have suggested

a more severe scenario.

Methane gas is one of the most potent greenhouse gases,

and the amount of methane being released

from the current volcanic activity

will soon result in a global warming of several degrees

each week.

By the end of a six-month period,

the temperatures across the United States

will reach into the mid-100s.

Where are they now?

Back on track, about 20 miles down.

Project DEEP, this Is general Fielding.

Come in.

Project DEEP, are you there?

This is, uh, Project DEEP.

We had a minor incident, but we're moving again.

Good to be back in communication.

What's your status?

We are shutting down TIMI after a successful burn,

and we are almost at our first drop-off point.

About 50 meters up.

They have parking, free valet.

All right, I'll slow her down.

Here we go, guys.

Hamster's approaching the first drop-off point.

You guys ready to do your thing?

Tell us where you want it.

We'll set the activation.

I've upload the Spartan coordinates.

The placement has to be pretty precise.

You're not going out there, are you?

No, I need to stay here and run some diagnostics,

make sure those magnets didn't screw us up too bad.

Let's do it.

Wow, one small step for man.

It's amazing how much money you spend trying

to get to another planet.

When you think about it, we still know anything

about the one we live on.

You're right, Jack.

We're the first humans to stand 20 miles

beneath the Earth's surface.

OK, enough of the sightseeing, gentlemen.

Let's set the first charge.

[sighing]

We have a bit of a problem.

What is it?

Reactor needs to be set down there.

We'll take it from here, Doctor.

It's what we're here for.

OK, this will give you the exact Spartan coordinates.

Be careful.

Ready, Captain?

Yes, sir.

Palmer, what are you doing?

Is this what I think it is?

Osmium nitrate.

I found a vein of it.

Yeah, it's got a melting point of 5,000 degrees Celsius.

Tough stuff.

That's harder than diamond.

Much harder.

Start picking it up.

Get as much as you can carry.

Why?

For the lenses.

I need this to increase the power.

Palmer, you caused enough damage

with the power you've got.

Enough.

It's never enough.

You are unbelievable.

Right here, Captain.

This is it.

Lock it down.

Captain, are you comfortable driving them all yet?

Sir?

You have a keen eye for detail.

I think you're ready. Don't you?

Not yet, sir.

It's pretty complicated.

Hayward, you'd better know by the time

we set that second reactor.

Yes, sir.

[beeping]

Hang on, Major!

Hang on, Major.

I've got you!

[screaming]

Major, no!

[rock slamming onto drake]

Something's coming.

WOMAN: Earthquake!

MAN: Calm down, everyone.

Everyone, calm down!

What the hell's going on down there?

Palmer!

Doctor Drake!

Captain, tell me you set that bomb.

Yes, sir.

It's on the ledge, and it's activated.

Where's McEwan?

He didn't make it, sir.

Come on, Palmer!

Dr. Drake, come in.

Dr. West, Dr. Rollins, come in.

Hey, guys, look.

The first bomb's been set.

Let's get him inside.

This cavern's unstable.

Get the first aid.

Get the first aid!

What happened out there?

Karen, get her going.

We got to get out of here.

That last tunnel knocked us around pretty bad.

I got to recheck the second site coordinates.

Where's McEwan?

He's gone.

Get us out of here!

I'm starting the engines.

I got a pulse!

It's a weak one.

Hang in there, Dr. Drake.

[beeping]

Dr. West!

We've got a coolant leak, Jake.

Oh, god, that's hot!

We've got to seal it.

With what?

KAREN WEST: With the fire extinguisher.

Use it to freeze the tubes.

We good?

For now.

Nice work.

REPORTER (ON TV): The damage to Coleville is extensive,

and scientists say that the earthquake that struck here

will not be the last seismic event of the worldwide--

Quakes are getting bigger.

What's the size of the last one?

6.4, centered just outside of Coleville.

[phone ringing]

Yes.

Yes, sir.

Well, I should start by saying that we're taking the most

offensive measures possible.

Um, Miss Crawford--

Not now, guys.

Um, there's a problem.

Hey, we set the first reactor.

We're on our way to drop point number 2.

Can I help?

Sure, why don't you see if we can

get the communication back up?

I wouldn't know where to begin.

I went to tank school for eight months in the Marines.

These controls look a lot more complicated.

Yeah, it's not that hard once you get going.

Throttle here.

Thruster here.

Of course, we don't get shot at much,

so we're a little weak on the artillery side.

Sir.

How's Palmer?

Well, he's conscious, barely.

I don't have the heart to tell him what's really going on.

Quake shifted our coordinates, and this nav computer doesn't

have enough processing power.

It's going to take me two days to reconfigure

what the coordinates are with this thing,

and that's two days we just don't have.

I need to talk to the base.

Captain, see what you can do.

Yes, Ma'am.

Mole to Command.

Mole to Command.

Mole to Command, can you read us?

Mole to Command, can you read us?

Nothing.

Subduction zones shifted with that last quake.

Yeah, but we're shifting them back, right?

Yeah, but the placement of our blast

was always under the assumption everything

would remain close to the way they

were when we did our targeting.

Not to mention the size of the reactor's blast.

And now it's all different.

Yeah.

OK, we have to reach them.

I mean, they must realize something's wrong, right?

I mean, if they put the reactor in the wrong spot.

We can make things worse.

What can we do?

First thing we have to do is to figure out exactly

what the strong points are.

I mean, it could be two feet away.

They could be two days away.

I mean, the second question is are our reactors going to work?

I mean, is the one we have too big?

Is it not big enough?

This computer is worthless.

It's not fast enough to answer the questions I'm asking it.

BLACK: If their radio communication's

been knocked out, we're going to have to do this the hard way.

Stand back, folks.

This is going to get ugly.

The Mole is about to be hacked.

Black, I'm going to need a hotwire.

I'm on it.

Sure you guys know what you're doing?

Never stopped us before.

Are you shutting TIMI down?

Yes, I am.

Why?

Because, Jake, we don't even know if we're

going the right direction.

Yeah, but we can't stop.

What's the plan?

We can't recalculate the shifts.

It's impossible.

Look, maybe we're not supposed to win this one.

[beeping]

We're losing power?

No, that's something else.

Yes, my guys!

They're in the system.

You bet they are, and not a moment too soon.

OK, he needs all the episodic tremors and slope

from the last quake factored into our old data.

I'm in.

OK, good.

Now, apply those figures to the location

of the first drop point.

Hang on.

Hang on.

Uh-oh.

What?

Hm.

It does not sound good.

OK, we've got a problem.

The charge and the reactor needs to be bigger.

Bigger?

Jake, we only have one left.

The cores-- use the cores in the Mole.

Captain Howard, I'm guessing you know a thing

or two about those reactors.

Yes, sir.

Major McEwan said to use the same cores from DEEP.

That's correct, sir.

Can you transfer those cores to this reactor?

I'm trained in demolitions.

I don't know if--

Can you do it?

I can do my best.

Not to dampen spirits, but if we take power from the Mole

now, we might not be able to get back.

Removing those cores could make our ascent very

difficult, maybe impossible.

We came down here to do this thing.

I-- I say we do it.

I'm in.

Agreed.

I'm in.

OK, let's get to work.

Shut down power to the grids.

It's cold.

Palmer, I need a little help here.

12K omega-ton blast.

How many of these things is it going to take?

Uh, three, but if you take one out, the entire chamber

goes dark.

That means we lose half our power.

But we still have enough to get the job done.

Captain, you ready?

Yeah, it's going to be tricky.

We rupture one of these cylinders, and that's it.

We're done for.

Well, ordinarily, that would faze me, but not today.

Do what you got to do.

What are you doing?

Trying to make this exciting.

Trying to get it over with.

Slow down.

Take it easy.

One more, and we can put it into position.

Jake, you might want to think twice about going

out there with them.

You're not supposed to come back.

Looks like he's been training.

Dr. Rollins, it isn't the way it looks.

Let me explain, please. - Explain?

What are you doing down here? - Take it easy--

Why did they they send you?

They didn't send me.

They sent Major McEwan!

Keep talking.

Major McEwan was told to make sure that if we made it back,

none of you would.

But when McEwan died, so did the order.

I'm not an assassin.

He was.

He had a vile of Sarin gas with him when he wrote that ledger.

It was meant for all of you.

But you were still taking notes after McEwan died.

Do you know how to drive this thing?

Do you?

Huh, do you?

If anything happened to her, we would be stuck down here.

Now, I want to get back.

I want to see my family again.

So let's just finish the mission and get back out top.

Let's finish the mission.

You know, you and--

and Jake, you make a good team.

Yeah.

The rock, it's different here, smooth.

Yeah, river of magma flowed through here probably

about a million years ago.

You know, if we don't do this right,

it's going to be flowing again.

X marks the spot.

Set her right there.

I'll lock it down.

Activate the timers.

Remember, we have to be precise.

This has to sync up with the other reactor.

OK, we're receiving a seek signal from device number 1.

Good.

I'll sync up and program the activation codes.

[grunting]

What?

What's wrong?

Don't take it off.

Don't take your helmet off!

[screaming]

Help me!

You got to help me, Jake!

You got to help me!

Damn it!

Oh, shit!

[screaming]

I can't breathe!

[frantic breathing]

[door opening]

Jake!

Hayward's dead.

It's worse than that.

He-- he didn't set the reactor.

Jake, we don't have the activation codes.

I got to go.

I got to set that reactor. - No, how?

How? We don't have the codes.

Well, I'll figure something out.

No, no, don't get crazy, Jake!

You're not going out there!

This whole thing depends on two blasts!

Palmer!

Palmer!

Palmer!

Palmer!

Palmer!

Palmer!

Palmer, what are you doing?

Can't have you stealing my thunder, Jake.

That's not the way I care to go out.

I'm going to fuse the cores myself.

I'm staying down here.

This is my fault. I'm the one that's going to fix it.

It's not supposed to end this way.

You still have plenty of time to screw it up, Jake.

You still have to make it out of here.

We're not leaving you down here, Palmer.

No!

That's not an offer, Karen.

That's an order.

Trust me.

It's better this way.

Dr. Rollins.

Dr. Drake.

Dr. West.

[difficult breathing]

Let's get out of here.

How are we set for power?

Bad.

Coolant levels?

Worse.

Great, that's par for the course.

I'll do my best to reroute the power,

but it's going to get hot in here.

Whatever happens, we're going to make it.

[difficult breathing]

Come on, Palmer.

Sorry, kid.

No time for sentiment.

[mole driving]

[mole driving]

MAN: They're on the move again!

What about the second reactor?

It's in position, but it hasn't been activated yet.

Did they do it?

It's not over yet, but as far as we can tell,

both charges are in place.

But the second one hasn't initiated.

OK, let's sync up to reactor 1.

DECKER: Guys, it must have been a glitch.

The second device is synced and activated.

I think that's everything.

I can shut it down without us catching on fire.

This is worse than I thought.

We're barely into the shaft.

It's-- it's too far.

Just think about cool places.

Remember when we went skiing in Park City?

Water.

I don't think you ever took me to the beach.

No, no, no, do you have a contingency

for underwater evacuation?

Yeah, but we've never needed to use it.

You may need to use it now.

You know, if we alter our present course by 40 degrees,

it'll bring us out right there, at the bottom

of the Straits of Juan de Fuca.

You know, we-- we could float to the top.

We won't need any power.

I knew there was a reason why I loved you.

Let's do it.

They're coming up, and TIMI is online.

Looks like they're taking a shortcut to the surface.

DECKER: Yeah, and their coolant level's in the red.

I want to know where and when they're coming up.

Guys, can you do me a favor?

I need those coordinates, as well.

Can you get them to me first?

Sure thing, Miss Crawford.

Thanks.

[coughing]

This is the new servicing point?

Yeah.

Thanks.

What was that?

I asked for the new coordinates.

So did I. Hand it over.

I'm not going to ask you again.

Follow me, Jordan.

Let's go.

[beeping]

[difficult breathing]

Let's look on the bright side.

At least now, I'll get an answer to the question scientists have

pondered their entire lives--

what's next?

Hold on.

Step on it. Step on it.

We have to hurry. - Come on.

Drive, dude, drive!

What's the word, Jake?

I don't know.

Give me a minute.

I'm commencing the ejection sequence.

Give me a second.

It's working.

Look at that.

Look at that.

I mean, the hot zones are starting to fall off.

The plates must have shifted.

It's working.

Now we just have to get home.

Come on.

Let's go.

You drive like my grandmother.

All right, here we go.

[beeping]

Yeah, these are the coordinates.

You see them?

I see them.

Yes!

Miss Crawford, your office called.

You have a story for me?

I certainly do.

People need to know the truth about what

caused these natural phenomenon, the steps that were taken

to bring it under control.

Can we roll on this?

That's why I asked you here.

MAN: We're rolling.

Errors in judgment were made in the name

of greed and personal glory.

People died because of those mistakes.

The President wants to make it perfectly clear

that there is no place in this administration for the betrayal

of public trust.

Jake, what are you doing?

You know, stop.

We need to keep going.

I don't need to go ashore.

Everything I need is right here.

Always has been.

I couldn't agree more.

You see him?

- Oh, yeah. - What are they doing?

Nothing.

Let me see.

No, they're not doing anything.

Then you can let me see.

They're just talking.

They're making out, aren't they?

- No. - Yes, they are.

They're making out. Come on.

It's my turn. - No, they're just talking.

- Where are you going? - What?

Nowhere. - Where are you Going

I'm not doing any--

Deck, Deck-- it's my turn!

No-- no--

[biting and screaming]

Thank you.

You're welcome.
