[rumbling]

4
00:00:46,912 --> 00:00:50,383
Homeland’s report about Russian terrorist cell,

5
00:00:50,449 --> 00:00:51,851
the Chistopol Network in D.C.,

6
00:00:51,917 --> 00:00:54,086
certainly wasn’t how I wanted to start off my day.

7
00:00:54,153 --> 00:00:56,389
I haven’t even had my second cup of coffee.

8
00:00:56,455 --> 00:00:57,390
Yes, ma’am.

9
00:00:57,456 --> 00:00:59,325
[sighs] Has CMW been able

10
00:00:59,392 --> 00:01:02,128
to determine whether they’re biological-weapons capable?

11
00:01:02,194 --> 00:01:04,797
To our understanding, they are not, Madam President.

12
00:01:04,864 --> 00:01:06,532
For the moment.

13
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:07,800
What else?

14
00:01:07,867 --> 00:01:09,735
DHS is warning against

15
00:01:09,802 --> 00:01:11,537
an active shooter or shooters event,

16
00:01:11,604 --> 00:01:14,140
based on chatter picked up by the FBI.

17
00:01:14,206 --> 00:01:16,842
Hmm. So something like shopping malls,

18
00:01:16,909 --> 00:01:19,178
mass transit, airports?

19
00:01:19,245 --> 00:01:20,146
Yes, ma’am.

20
00:01:20,212 --> 00:01:23,215
[sighs] I know that the committee

21
00:01:23,282 --> 00:01:26,619
specifically cleared the construction crews today

22
00:01:26,686 --> 00:01:28,320
so that we could look at the new wing,

23
00:01:28,387 --> 00:01:31,290
but I think we should focus on this Russian situation.

24
00:01:31,357 --> 00:01:32,224
Mm-hmm.

25
00:01:32,291 --> 00:01:34,260
So reach out to them, and apologize,

26
00:01:34,326 --> 00:01:36,896
and we’ll get this rescheduled again next week.

27
00:01:39,832 --> 00:01:42,935
[equipment chirping]

28
00:01:44,370 --> 00:01:45,971
Lilian, are you seeing this?

29
00:01:46,906 --> 00:01:48,507
All right, you two,

30
00:01:48,574 --> 00:01:50,176
I’m off to meet Lance.

31
00:01:50,242 --> 00:01:52,578
Uh, I’ll be back in about an hour.

32
00:01:52,645 --> 00:01:55,147
Katherine, you might want to see this.

33
00:01:55,214 --> 00:01:57,149
There’s been a spike in seismic activity.

34
00:01:57,216 --> 00:01:58,951
I don’t think it’s anything to worry about just yet,

35
00:01:59,018 --> 00:02:00,753
but what do you think?

36
00:02:00,820 --> 00:02:02,188
Keep an eye on it,

37
00:02:02,254 --> 00:02:04,056
and I’ll monitor what I can while I’m out.

38
00:02:04,123 --> 00:02:06,025
Uh, maybe plant a microseismometer

39
00:02:06,092 --> 00:02:07,827
in the field before I meet Lance.

40
00:02:07,893 --> 00:02:09,395
We’ll keep watch, too,

41
00:02:09,462 --> 00:02:11,897
let you know if we see anything unusual.

42
00:02:11,964 --> 00:02:13,299
Oh, you and Lance should contact

43
00:02:13,365 --> 00:02:15,301
whoever’s constructing that White House addition.

44
00:02:15,367 --> 00:02:17,603
Just make sure that reno’s mitigated against earthquakes.

45
00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:20,806
I’ll see if Lance can get us in touch with someone there.

46
00:02:22,675 --> 00:02:24,410
All right, I’m out.

47
00:02:24,477 --> 00:02:27,179
I will check back in before I head to my afternoon lecture,

48
00:02:27,246 --> 00:02:29,515
but call me if you see anything unusual before then.

49
00:02:29,582 --> 00:02:30,816
We will.

50
00:02:30,883 --> 00:02:32,885
What are you boring your students with today?

51
00:02:32,952 --> 00:02:33,986
Dispersal theory?

52
00:02:34,053 --> 00:02:36,555
Lubrication theory.

53
00:02:36,622 --> 00:02:37,757
And it is not boring.

54
00:02:37,823 --> 00:02:39,592
There are actually some very--

55
00:02:39,658 --> 00:02:40,860
Hey, stop stalling,

56
00:02:40,926 --> 00:02:44,029
and go give Lance the best news of his life.

57
00:02:46,132 --> 00:02:47,333
[laughs]

58
00:02:47,399 --> 00:02:49,769
Call me if you see anything unusual.

59
00:02:49,835 --> 00:02:51,737
- We will. Go. - Go.

60
00:02:51,804 --> 00:02:53,305
Uh, I’ll be back.

61
00:02:53,372 --> 00:02:54,306
Good work, guys.

62
00:02:54,373 --> 00:02:55,474
Goodbye.

63
00:02:56,809 --> 00:02:58,844
We now go live to Washington, D.C.,

64
00:02:58,911 --> 00:03:00,179
for a special update

65
00:03:00,246 --> 00:03:01,781
on the new White House expansion project.

66
00:03:01,847 --> 00:03:03,249
- [equipment beeping] - News? Okay.

67
00:03:03,315 --> 00:03:04,717
...has progressed significantly

68
00:03:04,784 --> 00:03:06,018
since our last report.

69
00:03:06,085 --> 00:03:07,553
What’s going on?

70
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:08,854
This is Gracie Hughes,

71
00:03:08,921 --> 00:03:10,956
reporting to you from the White House.

72
00:03:11,023 --> 00:03:12,958
President Powell and Vice President Jameson

73
00:03:13,025 --> 00:03:14,426
are taking their first look

74
00:03:14,493 --> 00:03:16,562
inside the new East Wing expansion this morning.

75
00:03:16,629 --> 00:03:18,130
Oh, it’s so good they’re getting more space.

76
00:03:18,197 --> 00:03:20,399
- [rumbling] - Whoa. Wh-What’s happening?

77
00:03:20,466 --> 00:03:22,368
I think we’re having an earthquake.

78
00:03:22,434 --> 00:03:24,036
Everyone, take cover!

79
00:03:24,103 --> 00:03:25,437
Get down. Under the table.

80
00:03:35,014 --> 00:03:36,882
The structure’s vibrating.

81
00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:38,951
The workers were off.

82
00:03:39,018 --> 00:03:40,653
Okay, we’re having an earthquake!

83
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:43,589
Quickly move out to the nearest exit.

84
00:03:43,656 --> 00:03:44,590
Come on.

85
00:03:45,825 --> 00:03:47,860
[yelling]

00:03:49,795 --> 00:03:52,865
[sirens blaring]

87
00:04:03,342 --> 00:04:04,944
- Come on! Hurry! - Get out!

88
00:04:05,010 --> 00:04:06,312
Everybody out now!

89
00:04:06,378 --> 00:04:07,379
Out! Out! Get out!

90
00:04:07,446 --> 00:04:09,748
Ma’am, get out of the building!

91
00:04:09,815 --> 00:04:10,749
This way! This way!

92
00:04:10,816 --> 00:04:12,318
Come on! Get out the building!

93
00:04:12,384 --> 00:04:14,486

[car alarm blares]

95
00:04:19,792 --> 00:04:21,527
What is it, Rachel?

[yells]

[sirens blaring]

99
00:04:31,704 --> 00:04:32,638
LANCE: You all right?

100
00:04:32,705 --> 00:04:33,739
- You okay? - Yeah. Yeah.

101
00:04:33,806 --> 00:04:35,074
Is everyone all right?

102
00:04:35,975 --> 00:04:36,942
You okay?

103
00:04:37,009 --> 00:04:38,310
Yeah, yeah. I’m fine.

104
00:04:38,377 --> 00:04:40,079
That felt like a magnitude six.

105
00:04:40,145 --> 00:04:41,780
WOMAN: Felt like the biggest quake ever.

106
00:04:41,847 --> 00:04:43,849
We gotta go.

107
00:04:43,916 --> 00:04:45,117
Very close to the surface.

108
00:04:45,184 --> 00:04:47,253
No, we need to get her off the street. Miss!

109
00:04:48,821 --> 00:04:50,990
Miss! Miss!

110
00:04:55,661 --> 00:04:56,929
[car horn honking]

111
00:04:56,996 --> 00:04:58,330
Miss!

112
00:04:58,397 --> 00:05:00,165
[screams]

113
00:05:00,232 --> 00:05:01,433
KATHERINE: Are you okay?

114
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:03,702
- Are you all right? - Is anything hurt?

115
00:05:03,769 --> 00:05:04,870
- Look at me. - Are you okay?

116
00:05:04,937 --> 00:05:06,038
Look at me. Look at me.

117
00:05:06,105 --> 00:05:07,640
Are you okay?

118
00:05:07,706 --> 00:05:09,208
All right. People, look alive.

119
00:05:09,275 --> 00:05:11,277
We need to know the whats, whys, and hows

120
00:05:11,343 --> 00:05:12,845
of what just happened ASAP.

121
00:05:12,912 --> 00:05:15,047
It looks like it was a 6.3.

122
00:05:15,114 --> 00:05:17,216
Oh, I hope Katherine’s okay.

123
00:05:17,283 --> 00:05:18,717
Get her on the phone now.

124
00:05:18,784 --> 00:05:19,718
On it.

125
00:05:26,392 --> 00:05:28,694
This is Defense Secretary Harris.

126
00:05:28,761 --> 00:05:30,663
Implement COGCON 1.

127
00:05:30,729 --> 00:05:32,331
[dramatic music playing]

128
00:05:33,666 --> 00:05:36,001
COGCON 1 is go.

129
00:05:37,036 --> 00:05:39,171
- [sirens blaring] - [dispatch chatter]

130
00:05:43,509 --> 00:05:45,177
Go! Go!

131
00:05:45,244 --> 00:05:47,513
[helicopter approaching]

132
00:05:58,824 --> 00:05:59,925
Agent Diaz.

133
00:05:59,992 --> 00:06:01,226
The interns made it out, sir.

134
00:06:01,293 --> 00:06:03,629
But the President and the Vice President did not,

135
00:06:03,696 --> 00:06:05,698
along with one of my agents.

136
00:06:05,764 --> 00:06:08,600
Do we have any idea of their last known whereabouts?

137
00:06:08,667 --> 00:06:10,736
The interns said they pretty much booked it out of there.

138
00:06:10,803 --> 00:06:12,671
But one of them said they were on the second floor

139
00:06:12,738 --> 00:06:14,873
near a stairwell when the ceiling caved in.

140
00:06:14,940 --> 00:06:16,041
That’s at least something to go on.

141
00:06:16,108 --> 00:06:17,443
- Over here, everybody. - Sir.

142
00:06:17,509 --> 00:06:20,045
- Secretary Harris. - Mr. Speaker.

143
00:06:20,112 --> 00:06:22,715
Any word on the President or the Vice President?

144
00:06:22,781 --> 00:06:24,550
I’m afraid we lost contact with them, sir.

145
00:06:24,616 --> 00:06:26,318
- Wow. - And we believe they’re

146
00:06:26,385 --> 00:06:28,287
trapped somewhere on the second floor.

147
00:06:29,655 --> 00:06:32,458
What are the chances that they could have survived that?

148
00:06:32,524 --> 00:06:36,161
Uh, I don’t want to speculate until we have more information.

149
00:06:36,228 --> 00:06:38,063
COGCON 1 is already in effect.

150
00:06:38,130 --> 00:06:39,898
We can’t wait on rescue teams.

151
00:06:39,965 --> 00:06:41,433
We need to initiate Archangel.

152
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:43,869
Well, if we lost contact with both of ’em,

153
00:06:43,936 --> 00:06:45,404
someone needs to be in the position

154
00:06:45,471 --> 00:06:47,806
to handle any nuclear threats from our foreign adversaries,

155
00:06:47,873 --> 00:06:51,076
especially with the Chistopol Network in our own backyard.

156
00:06:51,143 --> 00:06:52,211
Yes, Mr. Speaker.

157
00:06:52,277 --> 00:06:53,679
Oh, man, Get Marine One here.

158
00:06:53,746 --> 00:06:55,314
I’m going to Camp David.

159
00:06:55,381 --> 00:06:58,350
The minute I set foot down, we put into motion

160
00:06:58,417 --> 00:07:00,552
Article One, Section One of the 25th Amendment.

161
00:07:00,619 --> 00:07:02,388
Understood?

162
00:07:02,454 --> 00:07:04,123
Brock, the President and the Vice President

163
00:07:04,189 --> 00:07:05,557
will thank us for not waiting around

164
00:07:05,624 --> 00:07:07,893
and getting all this going for them, know what I mean?

165
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:08,961
Of course, sir.

166
00:07:09,028 --> 00:07:10,129
They’re gonna love us for that.

167
00:07:10,195 --> 00:07:11,463
Was the camera equipment still working

168
00:07:11,530 --> 00:07:13,165
- after the quake? - Yeah, I think so.

169
00:07:13,232 --> 00:07:14,867
Yeah? I think so. Check that footage.

170
00:07:14,933 --> 00:07:18,370
I’m gonna use that news crew to do a quick news conference.

171
00:07:18,437 --> 00:07:20,506
The American people need to know what’s going on.

172
00:07:24,610 --> 00:07:26,712
[sirens blaring]

173
00:07:26,779 --> 00:07:28,714
[overlapping chatter]

174
00:07:36,288 --> 00:07:37,356
KATHERINE: Yeah, I was right.

175
00:07:37,423 --> 00:07:39,591
The quake was shallow.

176
00:07:39,658 --> 00:07:41,727
It’s about seven kilometers down.

177
00:07:41,794 --> 00:07:44,563
Aftershocks are definitely gonna cause some more damage.

178
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:46,832
Oh, that’s not what I wanted to hear.

179
00:07:49,601 --> 00:07:51,603
Hey, you sure you’re gonna be all right?

180
00:07:51,670 --> 00:07:53,005
Yeah.

181
00:07:53,072 --> 00:07:56,175
Remember, we chose a house that,

182
00:07:56,241 --> 00:07:58,544
in your words, would survive World War III.

183
00:07:58,610 --> 00:08:00,746
[laughs]

184
00:08:00,813 --> 00:08:04,216
I’m gonna have plenty of work to do with this quake, anyways.

185
00:08:06,952 --> 00:08:08,253
Hey...

186
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,254
I’ll be fine.

187
00:08:09,321 --> 00:08:11,557
[sirens blaring]

188
00:08:11,623 --> 00:08:14,860
Sorry. I’d be the worst helicopter parent ever.

189
00:08:14,927 --> 00:08:15,861
- [laughs] - [chuckles]

190
00:08:15,928 --> 00:08:17,863
[cellphone rings]

191
00:08:19,865 --> 00:08:21,233
This is Lance Cushing.

192
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:22,468
Hello, Lance.

193
00:08:22,534 --> 00:08:24,770
This is Secretary of Defense Harris.

194
00:08:24,837 --> 00:08:26,105
Yes, sir.

195
00:08:26,171 --> 00:08:28,707
We’ve got a delicate situation here at the White House.

196
00:08:28,774 --> 00:08:30,175
I need your expertise.

197
00:08:30,242 --> 00:08:31,577
How soon can you get here?

198
00:08:31,643 --> 00:08:33,278
Yes, sir. I’m-- I’m at the park,

199
00:08:33,345 --> 00:08:35,414
but I can call in to work and be right in.

200
00:08:35,481 --> 00:08:36,715
I’ll handle the Farm.

201
00:08:36,782 --> 00:08:38,884
You just get over here as quickly as possible.

202
00:08:38,951 --> 00:08:40,152
Copy that, sir. Yeah.

203
00:08:40,219 --> 00:08:41,453
We’ll be right over.

204
00:08:42,321 --> 00:08:43,789
Who’s that?

205
00:08:43,856 --> 00:08:45,491
Secretary Harris.

206
00:08:45,557 --> 00:08:47,526
He wants me over at the White House.

207
00:08:47,593 --> 00:08:48,427
[tapping keys]

208
00:08:48,494 --> 00:08:49,695
Clearance required.

209
00:08:49,761 --> 00:08:51,930
This is Secretary of Defense Harris.

210
00:08:51,997 --> 00:08:57,002
Authorization alpha, alpha, Quebec, bravo, niner, Zulu.

211
00:08:57,069 --> 00:08:58,570
Confirmed.

212
00:08:58,637 --> 00:09:00,672
Please inform the Directorate of Operations

213
00:09:00,739 --> 00:09:04,042
that I have called in Lance Cushing.

214
00:09:04,109 --> 00:09:06,245
[sirens blaring]

215
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:09,581
Hey, look at this.

216
00:09:09,648 --> 00:09:11,550
Citizens of the United States,

217
00:09:11,617 --> 00:09:14,520
as you may well be aware of by now,

218
00:09:14,586 --> 00:09:18,056
Washington, D.C., has suffered a major earthquake.

219
00:09:18,123 --> 00:09:19,324
Hey, hey, turn that up.

220
00:09:19,391 --> 00:09:20,759
They must know that the fault’s open.

221
00:09:20,826 --> 00:09:24,263
...particularly to the new East Wing expansion.

222
00:09:25,197 --> 00:09:26,398
But before rumors

223
00:09:26,465 --> 00:09:28,901
and disinformation begin circulating,

224
00:09:28,967 --> 00:09:31,837
I wanted you to hear the truth about the situation.

225
00:09:33,906 --> 00:09:37,676
What I’m about to tell you isn’t easy.

226
00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:40,512
LANCE: Do we have any idea on the damage inside?

227
00:09:40,579 --> 00:09:42,514
Is everyone accounted for?

228
00:09:43,882 --> 00:09:44,816
Sir.

229
00:09:44,883 --> 00:09:46,618
Thank you for coming, Lance.

230
00:09:46,685 --> 00:09:48,420
Katherine, good to see you, too,

231
00:09:48,487 --> 00:09:49,555
under the circumstances.

232
00:09:49,621 --> 00:09:50,856
Of course, Mr. Secretary.

233
00:09:50,923 --> 00:09:52,090
What’s going on, sir?

234
00:09:52,157 --> 00:09:53,625
I’d like your assistance

235
00:09:53,692 --> 00:09:56,161
in our search for the President and Vice President.

236
00:09:56,228 --> 00:09:57,696
They were last seen

237
00:09:57,763 --> 00:10:00,165
on the second floor of the new expansion.

238
00:10:00,232 --> 00:10:03,168
Of course. Anything we can do to help.

239
00:10:03,235 --> 00:10:04,336
Outstanding.

240
00:10:04,403 --> 00:10:05,637
Let’s walk.

241
00:10:07,372 --> 00:10:08,774
Speaker Wilder is just finishing up

242
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,143
a press conference informing our country

243
00:10:11,210 --> 00:10:13,545
about the, uh, current situation.

244
00:10:13,612 --> 00:10:17,115
He’ll also be taking over the position of President

245
00:10:17,182 --> 00:10:20,986
pro tempore to avoid any lapse of the country’s leadership.

246
00:10:21,053 --> 00:10:23,655
Mr. Secretary, I’ve been charting the earthquakes

247
00:10:23,722 --> 00:10:26,692
at the Geology Department’s network at Howard University.

248
00:10:26,758 --> 00:10:28,527
The preliminary data I’m seeing

249
00:10:28,594 --> 00:10:31,029
indicates that was a magnitude 6.3

250
00:10:31,096 --> 00:10:33,899
and approximately seven kilometers below the surface,

251
00:10:33,966 --> 00:10:36,902
so we can expect some pretty severe aftershocks.

252
00:10:38,203 --> 00:10:40,272
Good call bringing Katherine along.

253
00:10:41,406 --> 00:10:43,242
And now that’s--Wait.

254
00:10:43,308 --> 00:10:44,743
I forgot to tell you something very important.

255
00:10:44,810 --> 00:10:46,411
- The interviews... - She’s missing.

256
00:10:46,478 --> 00:10:47,980
Wait here, please.

257
00:10:48,046 --> 00:10:50,949
Well, really, the two of them shouldn’t be in the same...

258
00:10:51,016 --> 00:10:52,684
- Excuse me. - Okay? Okay.

259
00:10:52,751 --> 00:10:53,852
Wrapped up the press conference?

260
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:57,256
I did. That couple you were talking to,

261
00:10:57,322 --> 00:10:58,657
I recognize that lady.

262
00:10:58,724 --> 00:11:00,525
She’s a seismologist, right?

263
00:11:00,592 --> 00:11:02,794
Yes. That’s Dr. Katherine Greene.

264
00:11:02,861 --> 00:11:06,031
And the gentleman, her fiancé, Lance Cushing.

265
00:11:06,098 --> 00:11:07,332
- Hmm. - He was a commander

266
00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:08,900
in the Army Corps of Engineers.

267
00:11:08,967 --> 00:11:11,136
He served under me in Iraq

268
00:11:11,203 --> 00:11:13,538
before he went to work on the Farm.

269
00:11:13,605 --> 00:11:15,607
He brought quite a few of my men

270
00:11:15,674 --> 00:11:17,809
out of situations like this.

271
00:11:17,876 --> 00:11:19,444
I’m hoping together they can help us

272
00:11:19,511 --> 00:11:20,545
in our search, rescue efforts.

273
00:11:20,612 --> 00:11:22,281
That’s a good idea.

274
00:11:22,347 --> 00:11:24,383
The more help we get, the better.

275
00:11:24,449 --> 00:11:26,218
I want to know the minute you hear anything about

276
00:11:26,285 --> 00:11:28,587
the condition of the President and the Vice President, okay?

277
00:11:28,654 --> 00:11:30,689
- We’ll keep you apprised. - All righty.

278
00:11:33,425 --> 00:11:35,260
I’ll be right back.

279
00:11:35,327 --> 00:11:37,462
[tense music playing]

280
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:59,251
[cellphone ringtone]

281
00:11:59,318 --> 00:12:00,252
LILIAN: Katherine.

282
00:12:00,319 --> 00:12:01,520
Hey, Katherine, are you okay?

283
00:12:01,586 --> 00:12:03,789
I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m with Lance.

284
00:12:03,855 --> 00:12:06,491
Is this about the President and Vice President?

285
00:12:06,558 --> 00:12:08,593
Listen, you two. I just set up

286
00:12:08,660 --> 00:12:10,662
a microseismometer on the White House lawn,

287
00:12:10,729 --> 00:12:12,097
but I’m gonna need your help.

288
00:12:12,164 --> 00:12:15,300
Keep me posted on any unusual seismic activity, okay?

289
00:12:15,367 --> 00:12:18,437
We’ll let you know A.S.A.P. if we spot any heavy spikes.

290
00:12:22,674 --> 00:12:24,042
Are you ready to get to work?

291
00:12:24,109 --> 00:12:25,544
Uh, sir, I’ve got a change of clothes

292
00:12:25,610 --> 00:12:27,212
in the car if you give me a minute.

293
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:28,714
Make it quick.

294
00:12:28,780 --> 00:12:30,382
- Agent Diaz. - Yes, sir.

295
00:12:30,449 --> 00:12:33,585
[sirens blaring]

296
00:12:40,025 --> 00:12:42,094
Can you check if they got back to you?

297
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,829
Mr. Secretary. Sorry I wasn’t here sooner.

298
00:12:43,895 --> 00:12:45,530
- It was my day off. - Don’t be sorry.

299
00:12:45,597 --> 00:12:48,100
This is Lance Cushing, a former Army combat engineer

300
00:12:48,166 --> 00:12:49,835
with extensive search and rescue experience.

301
00:12:49,901 --> 00:12:52,237
This is his fiancée, Dr. Katherine Greene.

302
00:12:52,304 --> 00:12:55,173
They’re here to assist us in our rescue efforts.

303
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,242
Feel like getting your hands dirty, Mr. Cushing?

304
00:12:57,309 --> 00:12:58,610
- Absolutely. - All right.

305
00:12:58,677 --> 00:13:00,112
Let’s get you suited up.

306
00:13:00,178 --> 00:13:02,314
You’re probably familiar with most of the equipment.

307
00:13:02,381 --> 00:13:03,982
You look like a...

308
00:13:04,049 --> 00:13:06,651
Mr. Secretary, the seismometers are detecting

309
00:13:06,718 --> 00:13:09,521
a lot of movement increasing in intensity.

310
00:13:09,588 --> 00:13:11,123
Can we expect a stronger quake?

311
00:13:11,189 --> 00:13:14,826
It could mean a substantial aftershock is coming or worse.

312
00:13:14,893 --> 00:13:17,562
The first quake was just a foreshock.

313
00:13:17,629 --> 00:13:19,364
There is a second quake coming,

314
00:13:19,431 --> 00:13:21,032
and it’s gonna be stronger.

315
00:13:21,099 --> 00:13:22,567
Understood.

316
00:13:24,669 --> 00:13:26,505
- Good. - So thermal resonance detector,

317
00:13:26,571 --> 00:13:27,639
structural integrity device.

318
00:13:27,706 --> 00:13:29,441
Okay. Let me take this for you.

319
00:13:29,508 --> 00:13:31,042
Okay.

320
00:13:31,109 --> 00:13:32,677
Katherine.

321
00:13:32,744 --> 00:13:34,212
Tell him about the dispersal theory

322
00:13:34,279 --> 00:13:36,748
that you been lecturing about and the lubrication one.

323
00:13:36,815 --> 00:13:38,717
Those are just theories, Lance.

324
00:13:38,784 --> 00:13:39,918
Yeah, but they’re good ones.

325
00:13:39,985 --> 00:13:41,253
I’d like to hear them, please.

326
00:13:41,319 --> 00:13:43,555
Okay. Well, we know that earthquakes

327
00:13:43,622 --> 00:13:45,357
are largely surface phenomenon

328
00:13:45,424 --> 00:13:47,793
when it comes to actual destruction.

329
00:13:47,859 --> 00:13:49,661
If we could get some drill rigs out here

330
00:13:49,728 --> 00:13:51,530
and bore holes into the perimeter,

331
00:13:51,596 --> 00:13:54,099
then we could disperse the shock waves,

332
00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:55,534
minimizing further damage

333
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,969
to the White House and its surrounding area.

334
00:13:58,036 --> 00:14:00,038
I’ll contact the Transportation Department.

335
00:14:00,105 --> 00:14:02,707
No, sir, I can get drill rigs out of McNair,

336
00:14:02,774 --> 00:14:04,743
- Belvoir much quicker. - Do it.

337
00:14:04,810 --> 00:14:08,480
Okay. I got to get in contact with the Captain on watch.

338
00:14:08,547 --> 00:14:10,615
Tell him about the lubrication theory.

339
00:14:10,682 --> 00:14:12,851
That one’s even more unlikely,

340
00:14:12,918 --> 00:14:15,353
but essentially the idea would be to drill down

341
00:14:15,420 --> 00:14:18,123
deep into the tectonic plates and flood them with water,

342
00:14:18,190 --> 00:14:21,393
acting as a lubricant against the friction.

343
00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:24,262
Think of oiling a sliding patio door.

344
00:14:24,329 --> 00:14:27,232
But you’re gonna need massive drilling equipment

345
00:14:27,299 --> 00:14:30,702
to go down that far, plus a viable water source.

346
00:14:30,769 --> 00:14:32,170
Katherine, can you direct the drill teams

347
00:14:32,237 --> 00:14:33,438
where to go, what to do, right?

348
00:14:33,505 --> 00:14:35,540
- Absolutely. - Great.

349
00:14:37,142 --> 00:14:38,310
Uh, Captain?

350
00:14:38,376 --> 00:14:40,011
Yeah. Sir, this is Lance Cushing

351
00:14:40,078 --> 00:14:41,513
with the Directorate of Operations.

352
00:14:41,580 --> 00:14:42,881
I can’t tell what’s going on.

353
00:14:42,948 --> 00:14:44,349
- The theory isn’t clear... - Right. Yeah.

354
00:14:44,416 --> 00:14:45,984
Sir, listen. I need all the drill rigs

355
00:14:46,051 --> 00:14:50,689
from McNair and Belvoir at the White House right away.

356
00:14:50,755 --> 00:14:53,558
Uh-huh. Katherine. What are the drill specs?

357
00:14:53,625 --> 00:14:55,227
At least ten meters.

358
00:14:55,293 --> 00:14:56,928
Ten meters, sir.

359
00:14:56,995 --> 00:14:59,464
Yeah, right away. Thank you, sir.

360
00:14:59,531 --> 00:15:02,534
Okay. We’re good to go.

361
00:15:05,203 --> 00:15:06,104
I’ll be back, all right?

362
00:15:06,171 --> 00:15:08,139
SWANSON: All right, let’s do this.

363
00:15:08,206 --> 00:15:10,141
[sirens blaring]

364
00:15:14,412 --> 00:15:16,548
[radio chatter]

365
00:15:20,952 --> 00:15:22,988
Someone get me hydraulics.

366
00:15:23,054 --> 00:15:24,489
Help!

367
00:15:24,556 --> 00:15:26,224
- Get this now! - Come on!

368
00:15:26,291 --> 00:15:27,792
Come on, hurry!

369
00:15:27,859 --> 00:15:31,363
We need a stretcher, neck brace, and I.V.s.

370
00:15:31,429 --> 00:15:33,565
[radio chatter]

371
00:15:35,166 --> 00:15:37,068
Okay, watch your step.

372
00:15:37,135 --> 00:15:39,905
Yeah, that’s right. We’re gonna be using the 10-meter bits.

373
00:15:39,971 --> 00:15:43,208
Yeah. Listen, Sergeant, when the drill rigs get here,

374
00:15:43,275 --> 00:15:45,944
I want them to ask for Dr. Katherine Greene.

375
00:15:46,011 --> 00:15:47,746
She’ll tell the rigs where to go.

376
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,549
Yeah, that’s right. My fiancée.

377
00:15:50,615 --> 00:15:52,517
Okay, McNair’s sending out six rigs.

378
00:15:52,584 --> 00:15:54,719
Belvoir’s sending out another three.

379
00:15:54,786 --> 00:15:56,021
- Agent Diaz. - Sir.

380
00:15:56,087 --> 00:15:57,989
Can you see to the arrival of the rigs, please?

381
00:15:58,056 --> 00:15:59,724
- Yes, sir. - Hey, Robbie.

382
00:15:59,791 --> 00:16:01,993
- Hear anything? - No, ma’am. Not yet.

383
00:16:02,060 --> 00:16:03,695
The two door entries we found,

384
00:16:03,762 --> 00:16:05,497
think they have a lot of debris lodged behind them.

385
00:16:05,564 --> 00:16:06,631
Couldn’t budge ’em at all.

386
00:16:06,698 --> 00:16:07,832
Engine 02 went for the concrete saws,

387
00:16:07,899 --> 00:16:09,034
should be back in a few minutes.

388
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:10,535
And there were some folks who got caught

389
00:16:10,602 --> 00:16:11,970
under a pile of rubble on the west side.

390
00:16:12,037 --> 00:16:14,005
Okay. Thank you. Hey, you know what?

391
00:16:14,072 --> 00:16:16,841
- Come back with us this way. - Yes, ma’am.

392
00:16:16,908 --> 00:16:20,045
Look. Looks like it’s 3/4-inch rebar.

393
00:16:21,313 --> 00:16:23,114
Heavy stuff for the compression concrete

394
00:16:23,181 --> 00:16:24,749
and whatever else was in there.

395
00:16:24,816 --> 00:16:26,685
There should be a pocket around here somewhere.

396
00:16:26,751 --> 00:16:29,387
It’s just finding a place to breach.

397
00:16:29,454 --> 00:16:30,622
Here.

398
00:16:34,626 --> 00:16:36,761
[rubble shifting]

399

[groans] Rachel.

401
00:16:47,606 --> 00:16:49,674
Rachel. Rach.

402
00:16:49,741 --> 00:16:52,944
- [gasps] - Rachel, is your head okay?

403
00:16:53,011 --> 00:16:53,745
[cries]

404
00:16:53,812 --> 00:16:55,647
Rach, we gotta talk.

405
00:16:59,651 --> 00:17:01,052
We gotta keep talking,

406
00:17:01,119 --> 00:17:03,588
’cause y-you could have a concussion.

407
00:17:03,655 --> 00:17:05,490
Y-Yeah. Sorry.

408
00:17:05,557 --> 00:17:06,758
I’m sorry.

409
00:17:07,826 --> 00:17:10,128
It’s very important to keep talking,

410
00:17:10,195 --> 00:17:11,296
because...

411
00:17:13,298 --> 00:17:16,267
- [winces] - Oh, God.

412
00:17:16,334 --> 00:17:20,505
[sighs] My mother told me not to go into politics.

413
00:17:20,572 --> 00:17:22,674
But I did not see this coming.

414
00:17:22,741 --> 00:17:24,242
How do you feel?

415
00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:26,978
Wait. Can you move at all?

416
00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:30,382
My phone.

417
00:17:31,516 --> 00:17:32,751
Where’s my phone?

418
00:17:32,817 --> 00:17:34,853
You already looked for your phone, remember?

419
00:17:34,919 --> 00:17:37,088
- Okay. - That’s right.

420
00:17:37,155 --> 00:17:38,923
I remember that.

421
00:17:38,990 --> 00:17:40,291
And you don’t have yours, right?

422
00:17:40,358 --> 00:17:43,028
No. I gave it to the intern before I came in.

423
00:17:43,094 --> 00:17:46,698
I didn’t want my pocket bulging for the cameras.

424
00:17:46,765 --> 00:17:50,068
Gotta look good. You’re the President.

425
00:17:50,135 --> 00:17:53,405
Probably wouldn’t be any cell reception, anyway.

426
00:17:53,471 --> 00:17:55,407
Aw, probably not.

427
00:17:55,473 --> 00:17:56,808
[muffled helicopter thrumming]

[tapping S.O.S. in Morse code]

429
00:18:00,078 --> 00:18:03,314
You think anybody’s hearing it?

430
00:18:03,381 --> 00:18:07,018
Well, I’m pretty sure they’re looking for us.

431
00:18:07,085 --> 00:18:08,853
They may not hear it right away,

432
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,889
but they’ll eventually...

433
00:18:11,756 --> 00:18:14,192
hopefully hear it.

434
00:18:16,394 --> 00:18:17,862
[muffled tapping]

435
00:18:17,929 --> 00:18:20,532
Do you hear that? There’s people alive down there.

436
00:18:20,598 --> 00:18:21,766
Maybe.

437
00:18:24,002 --> 00:18:25,904
[tapping continues]

438
00:18:25,970 --> 00:18:27,238
I’m gonna take a look.

439
00:18:27,305 --> 00:18:28,673
Please be careful.

440
00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:30,175
Always.

441
00:18:31,409 --> 00:18:33,745
[grunting]

[metal scrapes, clatters]

SWANSON: How’d it look?

445
00:19:16,721 --> 00:19:18,456
Yeah, it seems stable.

446
00:19:18,523 --> 00:19:21,326
Looks like the adjacent wall fell down in one piece

447
00:19:21,392 --> 00:19:23,862
and wedged up against the other side.

448
00:19:23,928 --> 00:19:25,230
The breach goes a long way.

449
00:19:25,296 --> 00:19:27,565
I think I’m comfortable going all the way in.

450
00:19:27,632 --> 00:19:30,168
We’ve got a ram jack we can bring in just in case.

451
00:19:30,235 --> 00:19:31,469
- Okay. Sounds good. - Robbie.

452
00:19:31,536 --> 00:19:34,072
Go grab that ram off your truck for us, please.

453
00:19:34,139 --> 00:19:36,007
Oh, if 02 still needs those concrete saws,

454
00:19:36,074 --> 00:19:38,176
just tell them to hold on to them for the moment.

455
00:19:38,243 --> 00:19:40,211
- Yes, ma’am. - How stable is it, really?

456
00:19:40,278 --> 00:19:42,814
- It’s stable. - Come back behind the cordon!

457
00:19:42,881 --> 00:19:43,815
- Ma’am! - Please!

458
00:19:43,882 --> 00:19:45,083
Is the President alive?

459
00:19:45,150 --> 00:19:47,652
The nation has to know if you know something.

460
00:19:47,719 --> 00:19:48,853
It’s gonna be about 10 minutes

461
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,656
before we get that jack over here.

462
00:19:51,723 --> 00:19:53,291
Let’s make this quick, Ms. Hughes.

463
00:19:53,358 --> 00:19:55,126
- Yes, Mr. Secretary. - Yeah, this is Cushing.

464
00:19:55,193 --> 00:19:57,896
I need an E.T.A. on those drill rigs.

465
00:19:57,962 --> 00:19:59,230
We had a problem.

466
00:19:59,297 --> 00:20:01,266
They were already moved to another job.

467
00:20:01,332 --> 00:20:02,801
- Yeah. - I’m really sorry.

468
00:20:02,867 --> 00:20:04,536
Copy that.

469
00:20:04,602 --> 00:20:07,105
We had some issues pulling the rigs out of Belvoir.

470
00:20:07,172 --> 00:20:08,473
They were on another job.

471
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:10,275
But the rigs from McNair

472
00:20:10,341 --> 00:20:12,143
are crossing the bridge as we speak.

473
00:20:12,210 --> 00:20:13,578
Copy that.

474
00:20:13,645 --> 00:20:14,879
Okay.

475
00:20:14,946 --> 00:20:17,849
So nine rigs should do the job.

476
00:20:24,556 --> 00:20:25,757
[sighs]

477
00:20:25,824 --> 00:20:27,025
Katherine says they’re bringing in

478
00:20:27,091 --> 00:20:28,226
the 10-meter drill bits.

479
00:20:28,293 --> 00:20:30,461
Sounds like they’re trying to prove

480
00:20:30,528 --> 00:20:31,930
dispersal theory works.

481
00:20:31,996 --> 00:20:33,832
Let’s hope science is on our side.

482
00:20:33,898 --> 00:20:36,868
Can you believe the 5.9 was over 10 years ago?

483
00:20:36,935 --> 00:20:38,803
Wonder how much rebuilding

484
00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:40,271
they’ll have to do this time around.

485
00:20:40,338 --> 00:20:42,006
My God, there was so much last time.

486
00:20:42,073 --> 00:20:43,474
Traffic from the Arlington Bridge

487
00:20:43,541 --> 00:20:44,609
was a nightmare.

488
00:20:46,978 --> 00:20:50,448
Wait, those 10-meter drill bits are heavy.

489
00:20:50,515 --> 00:20:53,451
How many drills would they need to attempt dispersal theory?

490
00:20:53,518 --> 00:20:56,855
I’m not sure, exactly. That was Katherine’s expertise.

491
00:20:56,921 --> 00:20:59,490
Half a dozen, at least.

492
00:21:00,892 --> 00:21:01,960
They wouldn’t need to cross

493
00:21:02,026 --> 00:21:04,562
the Arlington Bridge, would they?

494
00:21:04,629 --> 00:21:05,997
It’s very likely.

495
00:21:06,064 --> 00:21:08,233
All of those drills crossing the bridge

496
00:21:08,299 --> 00:21:10,368
one right after the other will be too heavy.

497
00:21:10,435 --> 00:21:12,704
The bridge will collapse with the drills on it.

There’s been an accident with the rigs.

501
00:21:37,295 --> 00:21:39,097
Uh, I mean, that’s terrible.

502
00:21:39,163 --> 00:21:43,201
I’m sorry. My condolences to you and your unit, sir.

503
00:21:43,268 --> 00:21:45,970
Yeah. Thank you, sir.

504
00:21:46,971 --> 00:21:48,406
What happened?

505
00:21:48,473 --> 00:21:49,674
They...

506
00:21:51,676 --> 00:21:53,211
We lost three of the rigs.

507
00:21:53,278 --> 00:21:56,214
The Arlington Bridge collapsed.

508
00:21:58,149 --> 00:21:59,717
What about the drivers?

509
00:22:01,085 --> 00:22:02,420
They didn’t make it out.

510
00:22:03,821 --> 00:22:06,124
I know what it means for you to lose your brothers.

511
00:22:06,190 --> 00:22:07,191
I’m so sorry.

512
00:22:07,258 --> 00:22:09,027
Ah, it doesn’t get any easier.

513
00:22:12,330 --> 00:22:13,698
That’s gonna set you back.

514
00:22:13,765 --> 00:22:15,967
I mean, you only have six drills now, not nine.

515
00:22:16,034 --> 00:22:17,769
No, I’ll make do.

516
00:22:17,835 --> 00:22:19,871
I need to tell him.

517
00:22:19,938 --> 00:22:22,140
Now, I feel very confident

518
00:22:22,206 --> 00:22:25,476
the the President and Vice President will be found.

Ms. Hughes, I’ve got a lot of work to do. Please.

Thank you for your time, Mr. Secretary.

522
00:22:32,583 --> 00:22:33,985
What do you got?

523
00:22:34,052 --> 00:22:36,454

- I understand, Chief. - Great.

531
00:22:51,469 --> 00:22:54,572
I’m gonna head in deeper, open up a rescue corridor.

Thank you, Agent.

Katherine.

00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,115
Go find the President.

538
00:23:05,683 --> 00:23:07,618
Always.

547
00:23:35,847 --> 00:23:38,683
We’re heading into D.C. to stop any looting,

548
00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:40,852
disperse any unauthorized gatherings,

549
00:23:40,918 --> 00:23:42,320
and assist first responders.

550
00:23:42,387 --> 00:23:44,856
Make our presence felt.

551
00:23:44,922 --> 00:23:46,024
Copy that.

552
00:23:46,090 --> 00:23:47,392
See you there 1300 hours.

553
00:23:47,458 --> 00:23:49,360
Yeah. Okay.

554
00:23:50,261 --> 00:23:51,195
[dogs barking]

555
00:23:51,262 --> 00:23:53,264
What’s up?

556
00:23:53,331 --> 00:23:55,700
Who’s, uh, got a sat phone? You got a sat phone?

557
00:23:55,767 --> 00:23:57,368
- I got one. - All right.

558
00:23:57,435 --> 00:24:00,471
Eddie and Rodney, you guys go together.

559
00:24:00,538 --> 00:24:03,441
Me and Shawn’ll go meet everybody else up in D.C.

560
00:24:03,508 --> 00:24:05,610
- Copy that. - Let’s go.

561
00:24:08,846 --> 00:24:12,517
I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute

562
00:24:12,583 --> 00:24:15,319
the office of the President of the United States

563
00:24:15,386 --> 00:24:17,155
and will, to the best of my ability,

564
00:24:17,221 --> 00:24:20,291
preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution

565
00:24:20,358 --> 00:24:22,493
of the United States of America.

566
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,662
Let’s get to work, everybody.

567
00:24:24,729 --> 00:24:28,199
[sighs]

568
00:24:29,067 --> 00:24:30,201
Hmm.

569
00:24:32,870 --> 00:24:34,572
Okay, here we go.

570
00:24:34,639 --> 00:24:35,673
And...

571
00:24:37,608 --> 00:24:38,776
Hello, everybody.

572
00:24:38,843 --> 00:24:42,780
This is the President of the United States Pro Tempore,

573
00:24:42,847 --> 00:24:44,148
Terry Wilder.

574
00:24:44,215 --> 00:24:46,250
Look, it’s natural for us to want to maintain

575
00:24:46,317 --> 00:24:49,220
a positive or optimistic outlook on things,

576
00:24:49,287 --> 00:24:51,355
and that’s good. We should do that.

577
00:24:51,422 --> 00:24:54,792
We all want President Powell and Vice President Jameson

578
00:24:54,859 --> 00:24:56,194
to be alive, right?

579
00:24:56,260 --> 00:24:59,130
But at the same time, we must be prepared

580
00:24:59,197 --> 00:25:01,599
for the truth, no matter how bad it is.

581
00:25:01,666 --> 00:25:05,970
We must be prepared to defend our great country.

582
00:25:06,037 --> 00:25:07,572
Mr. Pro Tempore.

583
00:25:07,638 --> 00:25:08,573
Yes, Alice?

584
00:25:08,639 --> 00:25:10,741
Um, the FBI just picked up movement

585
00:25:10,808 --> 00:25:13,244
from some of the Chistopol Network suspects.

586
00:25:13,311 --> 00:25:16,547
- Any idea where they’re going? - No, sir.

587
00:25:17,748 --> 00:25:20,084
Also, sir, widespread violence and looting

588
00:25:20,151 --> 00:25:21,452
have started up all over D.C.

589
00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:23,788
The National Guard have called in assistance

590
00:25:23,855 --> 00:25:25,356
from the neighboring states.

591
00:25:26,324 --> 00:25:28,159
No, that’ll take too long.

592
00:25:28,226 --> 00:25:30,495
We need to establish a presence now.

593
00:25:30,561 --> 00:25:32,563
All right, Alice. Thank you.

594
00:25:32,630 --> 00:25:33,598
Yes, sir.

595
00:25:38,269 --> 00:25:40,404
[dramatic music playing]

596
00:25:41,806 --> 00:25:43,741
[crowd yelling]

597
00:25:53,451 --> 00:25:55,586
[traffic honking]

598
00:25:57,555 --> 00:25:59,924
Yeah, traffic is a mess.

599
00:25:59,991 --> 00:26:02,393
We’ll cross over the Roosevelt Bridge on foot.

600
00:26:02,460 --> 00:26:04,996
Tell everybody to meet at the Marine Corps Memorial park.

601
00:26:05,062 --> 00:26:08,299
Hey, man, traffic is messed up.

602
00:26:08,366 --> 00:26:11,602
Tell everyone we’re meeting at the Marine Corps Memorial Park.

603
00:26:11,669 --> 00:26:12,670
Whereabouts?

604
00:26:14,071 --> 00:26:15,439
By the howitzer?

605
00:26:15,506 --> 00:26:16,741
Yeah.

606
00:26:16,807 --> 00:26:17,942
Meet by the howitzer.

607
00:26:18,009 --> 00:26:18,976
Copy.

608
00:26:19,043 --> 00:26:20,978
[dramatic music playing]

609
00:26:33,224 --> 00:26:34,425
All right.

610
00:26:34,492 --> 00:26:37,461
Looks like we got about 30 more feet.

611
00:26:37,528 --> 00:26:39,463
Then there’s something up there.

612
00:26:39,530 --> 00:26:41,499
Headlamp’s flashing back at me.

613
00:26:41,566 --> 00:26:43,100
I can’t tell what yet.

614
00:26:43,167 --> 00:26:44,535
Copy that.

615
00:26:51,642 --> 00:26:54,512
Ah. Yeah.

616
00:26:57,014 --> 00:26:59,450
I don’t know why the light’s not traveling further.

617
00:26:59,517 --> 00:27:01,586
I gotta take a look.

618
00:27:03,955 --> 00:27:05,323
[metal clanks]

619
00:27:06,357 --> 00:27:07,525
What do you think?

620
00:27:07,592 --> 00:27:08,859
[sighs]

621
00:27:08,926 --> 00:27:11,462
Let me check the RTD.

622
00:27:11,529 --> 00:27:14,599
These micro-TRDs only have a range of about 50 meters,

623
00:27:14,665 --> 00:27:16,334
but it’s worth a try.

624
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,836
Yeah, absolutely.

625
00:27:18,903 --> 00:27:20,438
Fire it up.

626
00:27:20,504 --> 00:27:22,540
I’ll take any encouragement I can get

627
00:27:22,607 --> 00:27:24,408
before I go into something like that.

628
00:27:24,475 --> 00:27:25,876
[detector beeping]

629
00:27:25,943 --> 00:27:27,712
Huh.

630
00:27:27,778 --> 00:27:29,180
What is it?

631
00:27:29,247 --> 00:27:30,181
[sighs]

632
00:27:30,248 --> 00:27:31,749
I’m picking up distortion,

633
00:27:31,816 --> 00:27:35,586
but it’s right on the edge of the range of the periphery.

634
00:27:35,653 --> 00:27:37,188
Ah.

635
00:27:37,255 --> 00:27:38,623
Now it’s not there.

636
00:27:38,689 --> 00:27:40,458
- [sighs] - I don’t know.

637
00:27:40,524 --> 00:27:41,592
Could be a false reading.

638
00:27:41,659 --> 00:27:43,261
I wasn’t able to get a lock.

639
00:27:43,327 --> 00:27:44,962
All right.

640
00:27:48,966 --> 00:27:51,569
Looks like the only way to check it out is through here.

641
00:27:51,636 --> 00:27:54,372
Ah. Yeah. I’ll go first this time.

642
00:27:54,438 --> 00:27:56,574
[tense music playing]

643
00:28:09,620 --> 00:28:12,356
[sighs] This can’t be right.

644
00:28:13,391 --> 00:28:14,592
What? What is it?

645
00:28:14,659 --> 00:28:17,461
Look. These meters are off the charts, okay?

646
00:28:17,528 --> 00:28:19,664
I-I have run all the calculations.

647
00:28:19,730 --> 00:28:23,301
These spikes in activity could mean another one

648
00:28:23,367 --> 00:28:25,736
much sooner than 12 hours from now.

649
00:28:25,803 --> 00:28:27,038
When?

650
00:28:27,104 --> 00:28:28,172
Now.

651
00:28:28,239 --> 00:28:30,841
Or three hours?

652
00:28:30,908 --> 00:28:32,843
[sighs]

653
00:28:34,245 --> 00:28:35,279
[drills grinding]

654
00:28:35,346 --> 00:28:37,481
[warning bell beeping]

655
00:28:39,984 --> 00:28:41,952
All right, about three meters to your left!

656
00:28:42,019 --> 00:28:44,155
Okay, that’s good! Stop right there!

657
00:28:44,221 --> 00:28:45,890
[hydraulics hissing]

658
00:28:45,956 --> 00:28:48,459
[cellphone ringtone]

659
00:28:48,526 --> 00:28:49,694
Lilian, this better be good.

660
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,629
I am directing huge drills right now.

661
00:28:51,696 --> 00:28:53,964
You need to secure those drill bits immediately.

662
00:28:54,031 --> 00:28:56,701
Lilian, we can’t abandon this project.

663
00:28:56,767 --> 00:28:59,537
[rumbling]

664
00:28:59,603 --> 00:29:01,739
[crowd yelling]

665
00:29:03,974 --> 00:29:05,076
Uh...

666
00:29:05,142 --> 00:29:07,078
Get down! Get down!

667
00:29:07,144 --> 00:29:09,413
[screaming]

668
00:29:15,052 --> 00:29:15,986
[groaning]

669
00:29:16,053 --> 00:29:17,621
Oh, damn it.

670
00:29:17,688 --> 00:29:20,224
- [rumbling] - [debris falling]

671
00:29:20,291 --> 00:29:21,459
KATHERINE: Oh, God!

672
00:29:24,795 --> 00:29:26,764
- [sirens blaring] - Lance!

673
00:29:29,166 --> 00:29:30,835
Oh, God, no!

674
00:29:30,901 --> 00:29:31,836
Lance!

675
00:29:32,903 --> 00:29:33,904
Diaz, go get her.

676
00:29:33,971 --> 00:29:34,939
Yes, sir.

677
00:29:36,107 --> 00:29:37,108
Lance!

678
00:29:38,275 --> 00:29:40,077
- Dr. Greene! - Get out of my way!

679
00:29:40,144 --> 00:29:41,379
You cannot go over there!

680
00:29:41,445 --> 00:29:42,980
- It’s not safe! - My fiancé is in there.

681
00:29:43,047 --> 00:29:46,450
I understand that, ma’am, but it’s for your own safety.

682
00:29:50,121 --> 00:29:51,188
[rocks trickling]

683
00:29:51,255 --> 00:29:52,923
- [sighs] - You all right?

684
00:29:52,990 --> 00:29:54,959
Yeah. You?

685
00:29:57,094 --> 00:29:58,095
[grunting]

686
00:29:58,162 --> 00:29:59,563
Yeah. All good.

687
00:30:01,599 --> 00:30:03,567
I’ve got some bad news.

688
00:30:05,336 --> 00:30:08,372
Yes. It’s caved in up ahead.

689
00:30:08,439 --> 00:30:10,408
Yeah. We’re done here.

690
00:30:10,474 --> 00:30:11,609
We’re gonna have to find

691
00:30:11,675 --> 00:30:13,911
somewhere else to try to get in.

692
00:30:13,978 --> 00:30:15,146
Copy that.

693
00:30:15,212 --> 00:30:16,781
Let me back up.

694
00:30:19,216 --> 00:30:21,152
- All right. - [sighs]

695
00:30:22,386 --> 00:30:24,221
We’ve got about eight feet clear.

696
00:30:27,324 --> 00:30:30,694
All right, I’m gonna set up the ram jack as a precaution.

697
00:30:30,761 --> 00:30:34,131
Got a little bit of movement overhead.

698
00:30:34,198 --> 00:30:36,367
Copy.

699
00:30:36,434 --> 00:30:39,236
[rumbling]

700
00:30:39,303 --> 00:30:40,805
[both grunt]

701
00:30:40,871 --> 00:30:42,473
These aftershocks are building.

702
00:30:42,540 --> 00:30:43,974
- My leg! - All right.

703
00:30:44,041 --> 00:30:45,142
All right.

704
00:30:46,243 --> 00:30:47,511
All right, hold on.

705
00:30:47,578 --> 00:30:48,979
[winces]

706
00:30:49,046 --> 00:30:51,949
Looks like part of the wall’s collapsed on your leg.

707
00:30:52,016 --> 00:30:53,417
Can you move?

708
00:30:53,484 --> 00:30:54,518
[winces] No.

709
00:30:54,585 --> 00:30:56,620
I think my right leg is broken.

710
00:30:56,687 --> 00:30:58,889
All right. I’m gonna see if I can wedge

711
00:30:58,956 --> 00:31:01,459
the jack underneath, lift it up,

712
00:31:01,525 --> 00:31:04,328
take the pressure off your leg.

713
00:31:04,395 --> 00:31:06,130
You think you can push yourself out

714
00:31:06,197 --> 00:31:07,665
if I take the weight off?

715
00:31:07,731 --> 00:31:09,533
I don’t have a choice.

716
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,735
Okay. All right.

717
00:31:11,802 --> 00:31:12,803
Easy.

718
00:31:13,871 --> 00:31:14,939
Easy.

719
00:31:15,005 --> 00:31:16,240
[groans]

720
00:31:16,307 --> 00:31:17,241
Sorry. All right.

721
00:31:17,308 --> 00:31:19,043
Not much room to operate.

722
00:31:19,109 --> 00:31:21,278
It’s okay. do what you gotta do.

723
00:31:21,345 --> 00:31:22,980
Okay. Okay.

724
00:31:24,448 --> 00:31:25,950
- All right. - [rocks trickling]

725
00:31:26,016 --> 00:31:27,585
Can you move now?

726
00:31:27,651 --> 00:31:29,053
Let me try.

727
00:31:31,355 --> 00:31:34,425
I can’t push back with one hand and hold on to the TRD.

728
00:31:34,492 --> 00:31:35,926
All right, just put it to the side.

729
00:31:35,993 --> 00:31:37,328
I’ll come back and get it.

730
00:31:37,394 --> 00:31:38,729
Copy.

731
00:31:40,865 --> 00:31:42,733
All right, that’s it.

732
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,301
You’re clear. You’re clear.

733
00:31:44,368 --> 00:31:45,603
You’re doing good.

734
00:31:45,669 --> 00:31:47,238
All right, your foot’s clear.

735
00:31:47,304 --> 00:31:48,272
You’re doing good.

736
00:31:48,339 --> 00:31:50,207
You’re doing good.

737
00:31:51,308 --> 00:31:52,243
The TRD!

738
00:31:52,309 --> 00:31:53,677
Ah, don’t worry about it!

739
00:31:53,744 --> 00:31:55,446
Come--That’s it.

740
00:31:55,513 --> 00:31:57,314
- [winces] - Easy.

741
00:31:57,381 --> 00:31:58,716
- Easy. - [groans]

742
00:31:58,782 --> 00:32:00,117
- All right. - [panting]

743
00:32:00,184 --> 00:32:01,552
All right.

744
00:32:01,619 --> 00:32:04,021
I think I broke my tibia.

745
00:32:04,088 --> 00:32:05,556
Okay, yeah.

746
00:32:07,358 --> 00:32:09,860
No protrusion or broken skin.

747
00:32:09,927 --> 00:32:13,197
At least it’s not a compound fracture.

748
00:32:13,264 --> 00:32:15,533
[winces]

749
00:32:15,599 --> 00:32:19,503
You think you can scoot back on your butt?

750
00:32:19,570 --> 00:32:21,171
Yeah.

751
00:32:21,238 --> 00:32:22,172
I can do that.

752
00:32:22,239 --> 00:32:23,474
All right.

753
00:32:23,541 --> 00:32:26,210
Easy now. Let’s get you out of here.

754
00:32:27,278 --> 00:32:29,313
Come on. Come on.

755
00:32:29,380 --> 00:32:30,848
That’s it. Nice and slow.

756
00:32:30,915 --> 00:32:33,584
That’s it. I got you.

757
00:32:33,651 --> 00:32:35,486
That’s it.

758
00:32:35,553 --> 00:32:36,554
Go.

759
00:32:36,620 --> 00:32:37,721
That’s it.

760
00:32:37,788 --> 00:32:39,223
All right, all right.

761
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:41,058
Okay.

762
00:32:41,125 --> 00:32:43,460
All right, I still got-- Doing good.

763
00:32:43,527 --> 00:32:44,562
Doing good.

764
00:32:44,628 --> 00:32:46,297
- [grunting] - Th-That’s it.

765
00:32:46,363 --> 00:32:48,399
Come on. Robbie!

766
00:32:48,465 --> 00:32:50,734
- Robbie! - Coming!

767
00:32:50,801 --> 00:32:52,469
The Chief broke her leg. I need a hand.

768
00:32:52,536 --> 00:32:53,571
I got it. I got it.

769
00:32:53,637 --> 00:32:55,639
Okay. You got her?

770
00:32:55,706 --> 00:32:57,741
- You okay? - Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine.

771
00:32:57,808 --> 00:32:59,910
Okay, how bad was the foreshock?

772
00:32:59,977 --> 00:33:02,279
I-It’s gonna take a moment for it to register.

773
00:33:02,346 --> 00:33:04,181
Did you find anything?

774
00:33:04,248 --> 00:33:05,249
I’m afraid not, sir.

775
00:33:06,550 --> 00:33:07,818
You gonna be okay, Chief?

776
00:33:07,885 --> 00:33:09,486
- Yeah, she will. - Yes, sir. I’ll be fine.

777
00:33:09,553 --> 00:33:11,689
Okay, it’s coming up.

778
00:33:11,755 --> 00:33:13,857
Yeah, that was bigger than the last foreshock,

779
00:33:13,924 --> 00:33:15,693
and subsurface tension is still increasing.

780
00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:17,528
Okay, is that gonna affect the 12-hour time frame?

781
00:33:17,595 --> 00:33:19,129
I mean, according to the logarithm, no,

782
00:33:19,196 --> 00:33:21,665
but I’m just-- I’m starting to doubt it.

783
00:33:21,732 --> 00:33:23,634
Okay, all right. I-- How’s the drilling going?

784
00:33:23,701 --> 00:33:26,170
We dug three holes, but we’re gonna need a whole lot more,

785
00:33:26,236 --> 00:33:27,638
and we’re gonna have to get after it.

786
00:33:27,705 --> 00:33:29,273
Maybe stop six, seven meters

787
00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:30,541
just to speed up the process.

788
00:33:30,608 --> 00:33:32,276
Whatever you think’s best, all right?

789
00:33:32,343 --> 00:33:33,644
- Sir. - Yes?

790
00:33:33,711 --> 00:33:36,413
I’m gonna go in. I’m gonna find another entry point.

791
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,148
Get on it.

792
00:33:38,215 --> 00:33:39,817
Robbie, come with me!

793
00:33:39,883 --> 00:33:41,485
Yes, sir. Let’s set her down.

794
00:33:41,552 --> 00:33:43,320
[rumbling]

795
00:33:43,387 --> 00:33:45,289
- Whoa! - An aftershock!

796
00:33:47,658 --> 00:33:49,526
[helicopter whirring]

797
00:33:49,593 --> 00:33:51,962
- Sir? - [explosion rumbles]

798
00:33:59,403 --> 00:34:00,638
Has to be a gas line.

799
00:34:00,704 --> 00:34:02,373
Send help now!

800
00:34:03,941 --> 00:34:05,209
- Give me the radio. - You all right?

801
00:34:05,275 --> 00:34:06,910
We need to divert all available fire units.

802
00:34:06,977 --> 00:34:08,379
- Lance. - Yeah?

803
00:34:08,445 --> 00:34:10,080
I’m not gonna be much use with a broken leg.

804
00:34:10,147 --> 00:34:11,482
All hell’s breaking loose all over the city.

805
00:34:11,548 --> 00:34:13,217
I could be more help out there than probably to you.

806
00:34:13,283 --> 00:34:14,918
- It’s all right. - Think you can handle this?

807
00:34:14,985 --> 00:34:16,687
I’ve got it. Thank you for everything you’ve done.

808
00:34:16,754 --> 00:34:18,656
Good luck. Robbie. Now’s your chance.

809
00:34:18,722 --> 00:34:19,923
Stay here with Mr. Cushing.

810
00:34:19,990 --> 00:34:21,125
All right, Captain.

811
00:34:21,191 --> 00:34:22,593
- You stay with the drill rigs. - Yeah.

812
00:34:22,660 --> 00:34:25,062
Robbie, come with me. Let’s go!

813
00:34:30,501 --> 00:34:32,169
[gagging]

814
00:34:32,236 --> 00:34:33,337
Rachel?

815
00:34:34,705 --> 00:34:37,941
Sorry about that, Madam President.

816
00:34:39,243 --> 00:34:40,477
[groans]

817
00:34:40,544 --> 00:34:42,479
Just a quick little nap.

818
00:34:42,546 --> 00:34:43,714
All right, uh...

819
00:34:46,016 --> 00:34:48,452
I don’t really want you laying down.

820
00:34:48,519 --> 00:34:49,553
You gotta stay awake.

821
00:34:49,620 --> 00:34:50,954
It’s gonna be a lot harder

822
00:34:51,021 --> 00:34:54,625
for you to stay awake if you’re laying down.

823
00:34:54,692 --> 00:34:57,061
But my head hurts.

824
00:34:57,127 --> 00:34:58,128
I know.

825
00:34:59,196 --> 00:35:00,230
I know it does.

826
00:35:02,399 --> 00:35:05,669
Ah, I’m sorry to be so close to you,

827
00:35:05,736 --> 00:35:08,138
but I really don’t have a choice.

828
00:35:09,707 --> 00:35:11,375
This’ll keep you awake.

829
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:15,412
Ah, I’ve had worse ringing in my ears than that.

830
00:35:17,314 --> 00:35:19,717
[shuddering]

831
00:35:19,783 --> 00:35:21,385
Rachel?

832
00:35:21,452 --> 00:35:23,120
[sighs]

833
00:35:23,187 --> 00:35:24,121
Rachel!

834
00:35:25,989 --> 00:35:28,692
[rocks shifting]

835
00:35:28,759 --> 00:35:30,728
No, no, no.

836
00:35:30,794 --> 00:35:32,596
Rachel.

837
00:35:32,663 --> 00:35:34,798
[somber music playing]

838
00:35:41,705 --> 00:35:42,639
[cellphone chimes]

839
00:35:42,706 --> 00:35:43,640
Excuse me, Katherine.

840
00:35:43,707 --> 00:35:45,242
Of course.

841
00:35:45,309 --> 00:35:46,577
Secretary Harris.

842
00:35:46,643 --> 00:35:47,678
Yes, sir.

843
00:35:47,745 --> 00:35:48,846
I haven’t heard from anyone.

844
00:35:48,912 --> 00:35:50,180
What’s the status of the search?

845
00:35:50,247 --> 00:35:52,683
Sorry, sir. Cushing is trying to find

846
00:35:52,750 --> 00:35:54,885
another way into the rubble at present.

847
00:35:54,952 --> 00:35:56,553
Okay, good.

848
00:35:56,620 --> 00:35:57,988
Look, we have another problem.

849
00:35:58,055 --> 00:36:00,758
We received intelligence that units

850
00:36:00,824 --> 00:36:02,926
of the Chistopol Network are on the move.

851
00:36:02,993 --> 00:36:05,229
They could be planning an attack.

852
00:36:05,295 --> 00:36:07,097
I’ll put a call in to the National Guard.

853
00:36:07,164 --> 00:36:08,999
Well, I’ve got an idea how to handle this.

854
00:36:09,066 --> 00:36:10,834
The Guard is already stretched.

855
00:36:10,901 --> 00:36:13,103
And as you know, it takes an act of Congress

856
00:36:13,170 --> 00:36:14,772
to declare martial law.

857
00:36:14,838 --> 00:36:16,507
I think we have enough on our plate

858
00:36:16,573 --> 00:36:17,741
right now, don’t you?

859
00:36:17,808 --> 00:36:20,310
Yes, sir.

860
00:36:20,377 --> 00:36:21,712
What are you thinking?

861
00:36:21,779 --> 00:36:24,882
The Virginia Lookout

862
00:36:24,948 --> 00:36:27,050
has offered assistance with security

863
00:36:27,117 --> 00:36:28,452
and with rescue efforts.

864
00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:30,487
The militia, sir?

865
00:36:30,554 --> 00:36:32,322
Mr. Secretary, hear me out.

866
00:36:32,389 --> 00:36:35,192
You know as well as I do they helped DCPD

867
00:36:35,259 --> 00:36:38,095
shut down a near riot during the last elections. Am I right?

868
00:36:38,162 --> 00:36:40,697
Y-Yes, sir, I do remember.

869
00:36:40,764 --> 00:36:42,633
But they still are a militia.

870
00:36:42,699 --> 00:36:44,434
Let me finish, please.

871
00:36:45,536 --> 00:36:46,937
Yes, sir.

872
00:36:47,004 --> 00:36:48,605
Sorry, sir.

873
00:36:48,672 --> 00:36:49,873
Also several of them work

874
00:36:49,940 --> 00:36:51,842
for Leesburg Construction in Virginia.

875
00:36:51,909 --> 00:36:53,844
They’ll be bringing equipment.

876
00:36:53,911 --> 00:36:55,379
They might be able to help in the search effort,

877
00:36:55,445 --> 00:36:58,248
But the National Guard is stretched beyond their means

878
00:36:58,315 --> 00:37:00,584
with the looting and everything going on.

879
00:37:00,651 --> 00:37:02,853
The militia could be deputized

880
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,955
to assist them and the police.

881
00:37:05,022 --> 00:37:07,024
We can use them as a deterrent.

882
00:37:07,090 --> 00:37:08,458
What do you say?

883
00:37:08,525 --> 00:37:11,128
We have to maintain a strong presence in D.C.

884
00:37:11,195 --> 00:37:12,729
Harris, we have to.

885
00:37:12,796 --> 00:37:15,599
[sighs]

886
00:37:15,666 --> 00:37:19,169
I’m sure we can find personnel from other agencies.

887
00:37:19,236 --> 00:37:21,972
Everybody capable of assisting is out there, Mr. Secretary,

888
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:23,841
unless you want to call up the Color Guard

889
00:37:23,907 --> 00:37:25,108
or the Navy Band.

890
00:37:27,811 --> 00:37:30,180
Uh, understood, sir.

891
00:37:30,247 --> 00:37:32,049
Good. I’m glad we see eye to eye.

892
00:37:32,115 --> 00:37:37,087
Now, a man named Beck will be your point of contact.

893
00:37:38,689 --> 00:37:40,524
I’ll be on the lookout, sir.

894
00:37:40,591 --> 00:37:41,959
Keep me updated.

895
00:37:46,663 --> 00:37:48,599
[tense music playing]

896
00:37:52,903 --> 00:37:57,274
D.C. People’s Army all present and accounted for, Beck.

897
00:37:57,341 --> 00:37:59,409
Hey, guys.

898
00:37:59,476 --> 00:38:01,979
All right, so we’re gonna head into D.C.

899
00:38:02,045 --> 00:38:03,480
Who’s got a satellite phone?

900
00:38:03,547 --> 00:38:06,316
All right, make sure you guys pair up.

901
00:38:06,383 --> 00:38:08,018
We’re gonna go and help the National Guard

902
00:38:08,085 --> 00:38:10,153
suppress any looting, any rioting.

903
00:38:10,220 --> 00:38:13,390
Help out EMS, EMT with any kind of search efforts.

904
00:38:13,457 --> 00:38:15,926
Couple of you guys can go to the White House with us.

905
00:38:15,993 --> 00:38:17,227
Everybody understand what you’re gonna do?

906
00:38:17,294 --> 00:38:19,263
- Yeah, boss. - Lock and load.

907
00:38:20,130 --> 00:38:21,298
Let’s go.

908
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:25,068
[tense music playing]

909
00:38:25,135 --> 00:38:26,970
Hey, hey, hey. Look. Look.

910
00:38:28,272 --> 00:38:29,706
That looks like an H-beam.

911
00:38:29,773 --> 00:38:30,974
Yes, sir, it does.

912
00:38:31,041 --> 00:38:33,977
H-beams are used in construction stairwells.

913
00:38:34,044 --> 00:38:35,312
The President and Vice President

914
00:38:35,379 --> 00:38:36,713
were last seen headed for a stairwell.

915
00:38:36,780 --> 00:38:38,515
Are you picking up anything?

916
00:38:38,582 --> 00:38:39,516
No, sir.

917
00:38:39,583 --> 00:38:41,251
I’m gonna try a different frequency.

918
00:38:41,318 --> 00:38:42,619
Okay.

919
00:38:42,686 --> 00:38:45,422
[static crackling]

920
00:38:45,489 --> 00:38:47,090
Wait. Mr. Cushing...

921
00:38:47,157 --> 00:38:48,492
I think I got something.

922
00:38:48,558 --> 00:38:49,993
- Yeah? - It’s faint, but...

923
00:38:50,060 --> 00:38:51,962
I think it’s an S.O.S. Here. Listen.

924
00:38:52,029 --> 00:38:53,764
[tapping in Morse code]

925
00:38:53,830 --> 00:38:55,933
Yeah.

926
00:38:55,999 --> 00:38:57,234
You think it’d be the President?

927
00:38:57,301 --> 00:38:58,769
I don’t know. We’re gonna find out.

928
00:38:58,835 --> 00:39:00,637
Do you have any idea how far it is?

929
00:39:00,704 --> 00:39:01,772
Tough to say, sir.

930
00:39:01,838 --> 00:39:03,140
I’m gonna tell Secretary Harris.

931
00:39:03,206 --> 00:39:04,408
- Yes, sir. - Good work.

932
00:39:04,474 --> 00:39:05,409
Thank you.

933
00:39:07,311 --> 00:39:09,546
GRADY: I’m sorry. It’s no good.

934
00:39:09,613 --> 00:39:13,016
Without those drill bits, we’re gonna need another plan.

935
00:39:13,083 --> 00:39:15,052
I think it’s time to start running

936
00:39:15,118 --> 00:39:16,853
lubrication theory simulations.

937
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,488
That’s just a theory.

938
00:39:18,555 --> 00:39:19,589
So is dispersal!

939
00:39:19,656 --> 00:39:21,124
But I don’t think it’s gonna work

940
00:39:21,191 --> 00:39:23,493
with the time and equipment we have.

941
00:39:25,062 --> 00:39:26,196
On it.

942
00:39:30,067 --> 00:39:32,436
[helicopters thrumming]

943
00:39:33,737 --> 00:39:36,506
- Mr. Secretary. - Lance. You hear anything?

944
00:39:36,573 --> 00:39:38,508
Robbie thinks he might have found an S.O.S.

945
00:39:39,609 --> 00:39:41,578
- That’s fantastic news. - Yeah.

946
00:39:41,645 --> 00:39:44,548
President Powell served as a Naval officer

947
00:39:44,614 --> 00:39:46,750
on a nuclear sub for several years.

948
00:39:46,817 --> 00:39:48,785
It very well could be her.

949
00:39:48,852 --> 00:39:50,420
Okay, yes, sir.

950
00:39:50,487 --> 00:39:54,424
So, uh, how do we get into this mess?

951
00:39:55,525 --> 00:39:56,860
Sledgehammers...

952
00:39:56,927 --> 00:39:59,096
and as many hands as we can get.

953
00:39:59,162 --> 00:40:01,598
[sighs] That’s what I was coming to tell you.

954
00:40:01,665 --> 00:40:03,700
We’ve got some...

955
00:40:03,767 --> 00:40:05,002
extra hands coming.

956
00:40:05,068 --> 00:40:07,070
From where?

957
00:40:08,638 --> 00:40:10,073
The Virginia Lookout.

958
00:40:10,140 --> 00:40:12,175
Sir, the militia?

959
00:40:12,242 --> 00:40:14,111
I’m not fond of the idea either, Lance.

960
00:40:14,177 --> 00:40:16,179
- Yeah. - But the Pro Tempore

961
00:40:16,246 --> 00:40:18,749
made some valid points.

962
00:40:18,815 --> 00:40:22,019
Apparently some of them work in the construction business,

963
00:40:22,085 --> 00:40:24,054
so they’re bringing some tools with them.

964
00:40:24,121 --> 00:40:26,256
The Guards have their hands full,

965
00:40:26,323 --> 00:40:28,825
and now we’ve got some reports of some activity

966
00:40:28,892 --> 00:40:30,460
with the Chistopol Network

967
00:40:30,527 --> 00:40:32,963
Now, we use them as a show of force

968
00:40:33,030 --> 00:40:35,499
and hopefully make the Network stand down.

969
00:40:36,566 --> 00:40:37,567
Yeah, okay.

970
00:40:37,634 --> 00:40:40,137
Listen, with all due respect, sir,

971
00:40:40,203 --> 00:40:42,706
I just--I don’t like it.

972
00:40:42,773 --> 00:40:44,641
It adds an unknown variable.

973
00:40:44,708 --> 00:40:47,277
Fully understand your concern, and duly noted.

974
00:40:47,344 --> 00:40:50,180
However, it is at the request

975
00:40:50,247 --> 00:40:52,783
of the acting President of the United States.

976
00:40:52,849 --> 00:40:54,785
Yes, sir. Understood.

977
00:40:56,253 --> 00:41:00,690
We should be on the lookout for a man named Beck.

978
00:41:00,757 --> 00:41:02,359
No, I-I know a Beck.

979
00:41:02,426 --> 00:41:04,761
Uh, he didn’t get into the military,

980
00:41:04,828 --> 00:41:06,163
because he failed medical.

981
00:41:06,229 --> 00:41:08,899
Made a big name for himself in the private sector.

982
00:41:08,965 --> 00:41:11,334
Let’s just hope he brings something to the ballgame.

983
00:41:11,401 --> 00:41:13,236
Yes, sir. Understood.

984
00:41:13,303 --> 00:41:15,005
Excuse me. Mr. Secretary.

985
00:41:15,072 --> 00:41:16,773
Several men from the militia, Lookout.

986
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,009
Agent, they’re clear.

987
00:41:19,076 --> 00:41:20,210
Let them in.

988
00:41:23,413 --> 00:41:25,482
The Pro Tempore sent them.

989
00:41:27,350 --> 00:41:28,985
You gotta be kidding me.

990
00:41:29,052 --> 00:41:30,187
Yes, sir.

991
00:41:31,121 --> 00:41:32,456
Come on.

992
00:41:32,522 --> 00:41:34,257
- Let’s go. - Come on, men.

993
00:41:34,324 --> 00:41:36,460
[tense music playing]

994
00:41:48,105 --> 00:41:49,206
Mr. Beck?

995
00:41:49,272 --> 00:41:51,208
Mr. Secretary.

996
00:41:51,274 --> 00:41:53,310
- Thanks for coming. - Sir.

997
00:41:55,212 --> 00:41:56,780
This is Mr. Cushing,

998
00:41:56,847 --> 00:41:58,949
headlining the search effort.

999
00:41:59,015 --> 00:42:02,185
Mr. Beck, we could use some of your men out on the perimeter

1000
00:42:02,252 --> 00:42:04,321
and in the city to assist with security.

1001
00:42:04,387 --> 00:42:07,390
I take it, uh...

1002
00:42:07,457 --> 00:42:09,759
these gentlemen are part of the construction workers.

1003
00:42:09,826 --> 00:42:10,927
They are.

1004
00:42:10,994 --> 00:42:14,264
Then let’s send the rest of you out alongside

1005
00:42:14,331 --> 00:42:17,067
with the men from the police and the Guards,

1006
00:42:17,134 --> 00:42:21,037
and the three of you can assist Mr. Cushing

1007
00:42:21,104 --> 00:42:22,472
in the search efforts.

1008
00:42:23,673 --> 00:42:25,242
Split up, guys.

1009
00:42:25,308 --> 00:42:26,443
Let’s go.

1010
00:42:29,079 --> 00:42:30,180
Let’s go.

1011
00:42:30,247 --> 00:42:32,149
Pick out an access point yet?

1012
00:42:32,215 --> 00:42:33,817
Mr. Beck...

1013
00:42:34,818 --> 00:42:37,220
first I need to ask the rest of you

1014
00:42:37,287 --> 00:42:40,223
to, uh, take your weapons back to your vehicles.

1015
00:42:40,290 --> 00:42:42,726
You won’t be needing them in the search.

1016
00:42:47,864 --> 00:42:48,932
Rodney.

1017
00:43:10,387 --> 00:43:11,988
Come with me.

1018
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:18,295
Go with them, Agent.

1019
00:43:18,361 --> 00:43:19,329
Yes, sir.

1020
00:43:19,396 --> 00:43:21,698
[helicopter thrumming]

1021
00:43:25,101 --> 00:43:27,237
[rubble shifting]

1022
00:43:29,339 --> 00:43:31,474
[tense music playing]

1023
00:43:41,117 --> 00:43:43,620
I’m so sorry, Rachel.

1024
00:43:53,530 --> 00:43:54,931
We want to try through here.

1025
00:43:54,998 --> 00:43:57,968
This part of the wall has stood up to the quake so far.

1026
00:43:58,034 --> 00:43:59,769
This way. Robbie.

1027
00:44:00,770 --> 00:44:02,272
The S.O.S. echo sounds pretty strong

1028
00:44:02,339 --> 00:44:04,040
- behind here, sir. - Okay. Great work.

1029
00:44:04,107 --> 00:44:06,176
Mr. Beck, let’s try and punch through this wall,

1030
00:44:06,243 --> 00:44:07,611
see what’s on the other side. Here.

1031
00:44:07,677 --> 00:44:09,045
Give me one of these sledgehammers.

1032
00:44:09,112 --> 00:44:10,080
Okay.

1033
00:44:10,146 --> 00:44:12,315
Hey, listen up, everyone!

1034
00:44:12,382 --> 00:44:15,685
This whole wall could fall down on top of us.

1035
00:44:15,752 --> 00:44:16,820
Careful.

1036
00:44:20,090 --> 00:44:22,759
[grunting]

1037
00:44:24,861 --> 00:44:27,364
[distant pounding]

1038
00:44:29,599 --> 00:44:31,935
Hey! I’m in here!

1039
00:44:38,341 --> 00:44:39,776
Hey!

1040
00:44:48,485 --> 00:44:50,620
[rubble shifting]

1041
00:44:54,257 --> 00:44:55,592
Hello?

1042
00:44:55,659 --> 00:44:56,393
Hello!

1043
00:44:56,459 --> 00:44:58,428
Yes, I’m up here!

1044
00:44:58,495 --> 00:44:59,529
Can you hear me?!

1045
00:44:59,596 --> 00:45:01,231
Madam President?!

1046
00:45:01,298 --> 00:45:02,432
Who’s out there?!

1047
00:45:02,499 --> 00:45:05,468
Ma’am, this is Lance Cushing!

1048
00:45:05,535 --> 00:45:08,138
I’m here on order of Secretary Harris.

1049
00:45:08,204 --> 00:45:10,540
I’ve got the Fire Department with me, Agent Diaz,

1050
00:45:10,607 --> 00:45:12,342
and some other rescue workers.

1051
00:45:12,409 --> 00:45:14,778
Is Agent Diaz with you?

1052
00:45:14,844 --> 00:45:16,846
Yes, ma’am. I’m right here.

1053
00:45:16,913 --> 00:45:18,481
Okay. Thank goodness.

1054
00:45:18,548 --> 00:45:20,183
Thank you for coming.

1055
00:45:20,250 --> 00:45:21,851
Are you all right, Madame President?

1056
00:45:21,918 --> 00:45:24,254
Is you or anyone else in your party

1057
00:45:24,321 --> 00:45:26,523
in need of immediate medical attention?

1058
00:45:29,559 --> 00:45:31,127
Madame President?!

1059
00:45:31,194 --> 00:45:35,365
No one is in need of medical attention, Mr. Cushing.

1060
00:45:35,432 --> 00:45:36,700
All right. All right. All right.

1061
00:45:36,766 --> 00:45:38,968
Is the Vice President with you?

1062
00:45:39,035 --> 00:45:40,470
She is...

1063
00:45:40,537 --> 00:45:42,706
She is deceased.

1064
00:45:45,075 --> 00:45:46,176
Copy that.

1065
00:45:46,242 --> 00:45:49,179
Robbie, get Secretary Harris.

1066
00:45:49,245 --> 00:45:50,513
Please.

1067
00:45:50,580 --> 00:45:52,415
So what’s next?

1068
00:45:52,482 --> 00:45:55,151
Uh, well, we’re gonna make our way to you, Madam President,

1069
00:45:55,218 --> 00:45:57,420
but we got a fair amount of debris in front of us,

1070
00:45:57,487 --> 00:45:59,689
so it’s gonna take a little time.

1071
00:45:59,756 --> 00:46:01,791
Okay.

1072
00:46:02,959 --> 00:46:04,994
Hey, we got a small excavator on the flatbed.

1073
00:46:05,061 --> 00:46:07,430
I’m gonna see where they’re at.

1074
00:46:07,497 --> 00:46:08,798
It’s not necessary.

1075
00:46:08,865 --> 00:46:10,300
Yeah, I’m not getting reception.

1076
00:46:10,367 --> 00:46:11,501
I’m gonna move around.

1077
00:46:24,647 --> 00:46:25,982
Yeah. Hey, it’s me.

1078
00:46:26,049 --> 00:46:27,884
Yeah, we found the President and the Vice President.

1079
00:46:27,951 --> 00:46:29,686
Apparently the Vice President’s already dead.

1080
00:46:29,753 --> 00:46:31,388
- You know how? - Nah, I don’t know how.

1081
00:46:31,454 --> 00:46:32,756
And where are they?

1082
00:46:32,822 --> 00:46:34,624
They’re up on, like, the second floor expa--

1083
00:46:34,691 --> 00:46:35,859
of the expansion.

1084
00:46:35,925 --> 00:46:36,926
You have a plan?

1085
00:46:36,993 --> 00:46:38,061
We have to climb up.

1086
00:46:38,128 --> 00:46:39,095
Will it be messy?

1087
00:46:39,162 --> 00:46:40,130
Yeah, at this point,

1088
00:46:40,196 --> 00:46:41,564
it’s gonna have to be messy.

1089
00:46:41,631 --> 00:46:43,400
- Yeah, I get that. - Make it happen.

1090
00:46:43,466 --> 00:46:44,768
We’ll do what we can.

1091
00:46:48,738 --> 00:46:49,939
Did you get cell reception?

1092
00:46:50,006 --> 00:46:52,842
Yeah. It was kinda spotty, but I got through.

1093
00:46:52,909 --> 00:46:55,412
The excavator got caught up on the 66.

1094
00:46:55,478 --> 00:46:57,080
- It’s gonna be a while. - yeah.

1095
00:46:58,515 --> 00:47:00,650
[drills whirring]

1096
00:47:11,394 --> 00:47:14,631
[rumbling]

1097
00:47:20,503 --> 00:47:23,106
[metal scraping]

1098
00:47:24,507 --> 00:47:27,010
- [rumbling] - No. No.

1099
00:47:27,076 --> 00:47:28,244
No!

1100
00:47:28,311 --> 00:47:29,546
No! No!

1101
00:47:29,612 --> 00:47:32,382
[screams]

1102
00:47:32,449 --> 00:47:33,783
Efforts are still underway

1103
00:47:33,850 --> 00:47:35,552
to rescue the hundreds still under buildings

1104
00:47:35,618 --> 00:47:37,687
caught in today’s devastating 6.3 earthquake

1105
00:47:37,754 --> 00:47:39,489
in Washington, D.C.

1106
00:47:39,556 --> 00:47:40,790
Among those trapped are President Powell

1107
00:47:40,857 --> 00:47:42,158
and Vice President Jameson,

1108
00:47:42,225 --> 00:47:44,461
who have not yet been confirmed alive.

1109
00:47:44,527 --> 00:47:45,829
Speaker of the House Terry Wilder,

1110
00:47:45,895 --> 00:47:47,464
currently President Pro Tempore,

1111
00:47:47,530 --> 00:47:50,200
has promised to do whatever rescue efforts are necessary,

1112
00:47:50,266 --> 00:47:52,469
but warned citizens not to get their hopes up

1113
00:47:52,535 --> 00:47:54,404
in terms of the President’s survival.

1114
00:47:54,471 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker Wilder assures us that,

1115
00:47:55,905 --> 00:47:57,774
although the loss is devastating, he is ready

1116
00:47:57,841 --> 00:47:59,309
to take the presidential oath if necessary.

1117
00:47:59,375 --> 00:48:00,944
You okay? Was that the main quake?

1118
00:48:01,010 --> 00:48:02,679
Was the 12-hour time frame wrong?

1119
00:48:02,745 --> 00:48:04,447
Hold on. I’m writing the logarithm now.

1120
00:48:04,514 --> 00:48:06,115
Sir.

1121
00:48:06,182 --> 00:48:07,550
Oh, God. There’s--

1122
00:48:07,617 --> 00:48:08,785
Something’s wrong.

1123
00:48:08,852 --> 00:48:10,487
I’m gonna need to run a different one.

1124
00:48:10,553 --> 00:48:12,722
Just give me a second, okay? Okay.

1125
00:48:12,789 --> 00:48:15,091
The predicted foreshock rate has to be converted.

1126
00:48:15,158 --> 00:48:17,861
The overlapping coda waves are so close to the aftershocks.

1127
00:48:17,927 --> 00:48:20,129
It’s obscured the magnitude threshold.

1128
00:48:21,397 --> 00:48:22,866
That wasn’t the main quake.

1129
00:48:22,932 --> 00:48:24,367
Okay. Okay.

1130
00:48:24,434 --> 00:48:27,303
The main quake is gonna hit in less than three hours now.

1131
00:48:27,370 --> 00:48:28,738
Less than three?

1132
00:48:28,805 --> 00:48:30,507
We can’t get more accurate than that, Dr. Greene?

1133
00:48:30,573 --> 00:48:31,774
I’m sorry, Mr. Secretary,

1134
00:48:31,841 --> 00:48:33,543
but this technology, it’s all untested.

1135
00:48:33,610 --> 00:48:35,111
Quick! Quick! We need some stretchers now!

1136
00:48:35,178 --> 00:48:37,313
I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you.

1137
00:48:37,380 --> 00:48:40,250
It’s okay, sir. We’re all very stressed.

1138
00:48:40,316 --> 00:48:43,253
[sighs] What’s our next course of action, Mr. Cushing?

1139
00:48:44,687 --> 00:48:45,855
Mr. Cushing?

1140
00:48:45,922 --> 00:48:47,891
Yeah. I-I’m sorry, sir.

1141
00:48:47,957 --> 00:48:50,293
Look, I think I have an idea.

1142
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,762
Katherine, the lecture you gave on lubrication theory,

1143
00:48:52,829 --> 00:48:53,963
could we do that?

1144
00:48:54,030 --> 00:48:55,431
Could we use the water from the Potomac.

1145
00:48:55,498 --> 00:48:57,166
Lance, we are talking about drilling seven kilometers--

1146
00:48:57,233 --> 00:48:59,469
No! No, no, no. That’s not what I’m talking about.

1147
00:48:59,536 --> 00:49:00,770
Follow me on this, okay?

1148
00:49:00,837 --> 00:49:02,672
The Blue Line runs underneath the Potomac

1149
00:49:02,739 --> 00:49:03,973
and then virtually circles the White House

1150
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,142
on the east, north, and west sides

1151
00:49:06,209 --> 00:49:07,610
before it splits the city in the middle.

1152
00:49:07,677 --> 00:49:08,878
Wait. I think I see where you’re going.

1153
00:49:08,945 --> 00:49:10,046
You’re talking about creating a buffer.

1154
00:49:10,113 --> 00:49:11,814
Exactly! Yes. We just need to channel

1155
00:49:11,881 --> 00:49:13,783
the water from the Potomac into the Blue Line.

1156
00:49:13,850 --> 00:49:15,351
Yeah. No, yeah, yeah. That’s possible.

1157
00:49:15,418 --> 00:49:17,153
But how are we gonna get the water

1158
00:49:17,220 --> 00:49:18,154
into the Blue Line?

1159
00:49:18,221 --> 00:49:20,056
There’s a massive ventilation shaft

1160
00:49:20,123 --> 00:49:22,058
that runs perpendicular to the Blue Line.

1161
00:49:22,125 --> 00:49:24,761
We place breaching charges on the wall adjacent.

1162
00:49:24,827 --> 00:49:26,629
We need the blast to just create a fracture

1163
00:49:26,696 --> 00:49:28,031
in any of the structural walls,

1164
00:49:28,097 --> 00:49:30,199
and then the weight of the river would do the rest.

1165
00:49:30,266 --> 00:49:32,468
We need to make sure that all the transit lines

1166
00:49:32,535 --> 00:49:33,937
are evacuated and completely sealed,

1167
00:49:34,003 --> 00:49:35,705
but I think we could essentially stop

1168
00:49:35,772 --> 00:49:37,774
any more damage happening to D.C.

1169
00:49:39,142 --> 00:49:40,109
Dr. Greene?

1170
00:49:40,176 --> 00:49:41,878
If it was shallower than seven kilometers,

1171
00:49:41,945 --> 00:49:43,713
- I’d say no way, but... - Aha!

1172
00:49:43,780 --> 00:49:45,281
Yeah. I believe this could work.

1173
00:49:45,348 --> 00:49:48,084
Okay, sir, can you call in the explosive ordnance we need?

1174
00:49:48,151 --> 00:49:49,752
- ’Course I can. - Great.

1175
00:49:49,819 --> 00:49:51,721
I’m gonna find Robbie. Be careful.

1176
00:49:52,655 --> 00:49:54,791
[tense music playing]

1177
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,195
[typing]

1178
00:50:01,664 --> 00:50:03,199
Have you figured it out yet?

1179
00:50:03,266 --> 00:50:06,002
There’s just no way to get water to the vaults in time.

1180
00:50:06,069 --> 00:50:07,870
There’s not a big enough volume of water

1181
00:50:07,937 --> 00:50:10,640
or enough pressure where we need it.

1182
00:50:10,707 --> 00:50:12,842
[ringtone chiming]

1183
00:50:15,378 --> 00:50:16,412
Katherine.

1184
00:50:16,479 --> 00:50:18,314
Lubrication theory.

1185
00:50:18,381 --> 00:50:19,549
That was our thinking, too,

1186
00:50:19,616 --> 00:50:21,017
but we’ve been trying it.

1187
00:50:21,084 --> 00:50:22,652
There’s just-- There’s no way.

1188
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:23,920
There’s nothing with enough water pressure

1189
00:50:23,987 --> 00:50:25,288
or enough volume to--

1190
00:50:25,355 --> 00:50:27,724
We can breach into the Potomac from the Blue Line.

1191
00:50:27,790 --> 00:50:29,359
Lance can create a monitored explosion

1192
00:50:29,425 --> 00:50:30,660
in the subway tunnels.

1193
00:50:30,727 --> 00:50:32,362
That way, we create a lubricated ring

1194
00:50:32,428 --> 00:50:35,064
not for D.C., but at least for the White House.

1195
00:50:35,131 --> 00:50:37,734
Plug that into the simulation.

1196
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,802
We’ll run the simulations, but...

1197
00:50:39,869 --> 00:50:41,104
think that could work.

1198
00:50:41,170 --> 00:50:43,873
It has to. We don’t have a choice.

1199
00:50:45,642 --> 00:50:47,410
- All right. - Okay, so...

1200
00:50:47,477 --> 00:50:48,878
- okay, the Blue Line. - Yeah.

1201
00:50:48,945 --> 00:50:51,681
I tried that. Now I gotta try that one over there.

1202
00:50:51,748 --> 00:50:53,349
Copy that, Rescue Two.

1203
00:50:53,416 --> 00:50:55,351
[dispatch chatter]

1204
00:51:00,423 --> 00:51:02,191
[gasping]

1205
00:51:02,258 --> 00:51:04,193
[rubble trickling]

1206
00:51:09,632 --> 00:51:11,768
[tense music playing]

1207
00:51:16,406 --> 00:51:17,473
Rachel.

1208
00:51:49,872 --> 00:51:51,441
[loud alarm blaring]

1209
00:51:51,507 --> 00:51:54,444
[winces]

1210
00:51:54,510 --> 00:51:55,712
[alarm blaring]

1211
00:51:55,778 --> 00:51:56,779
You hear that?

1212
00:51:56,846 --> 00:51:58,514
That’s the fire alarm.

1213
00:51:58,581 --> 00:51:59,515
Lance!

1214
00:52:02,418 --> 00:52:03,453
Yeah?

1215
00:52:03,519 --> 00:52:05,788
Oh, Lance, be careful.

1216
00:52:07,990 --> 00:52:09,292
Yeah, what is it?

1217
00:52:09,358 --> 00:52:10,126
You heard this before?

1218
00:52:10,193 --> 00:52:12,161
That’s the manual fire alarm.

1219
00:52:12,228 --> 00:52:14,464
Somebody pulled it. Give me a sec.

1220
00:52:15,932 --> 00:52:17,033
Whoever set that off

1221
00:52:17,100 --> 00:52:20,303
is somewhere near the East Colonnade,

1222
00:52:20,369 --> 00:52:21,604
ground floor.

1223
00:52:21,671 --> 00:52:24,240
All right, well, we need to dig our way in by hand, then.

1224
00:52:24,307 --> 00:52:26,409
Let’s just use the evacuation corridor,

1225
00:52:26,476 --> 00:52:28,277
come up from underneath.

1226
00:52:28,344 --> 00:52:30,913
No secret. Everyone knows about it.

1227
00:52:30,980 --> 00:52:32,849
No, no secret.

1228
00:52:32,915 --> 00:52:35,051
But it does lead to some secret stuff,

1229
00:52:35,118 --> 00:52:37,353
national security stuff,

1230
00:52:37,420 --> 00:52:39,522
and keep people like you away from it.

1231
00:52:39,589 --> 00:52:40,890
- Mr. Cushing. - Sir.

1232
00:52:40,957 --> 00:52:43,760
Staff Sergeant Rawlings is trying to take

1233
00:52:43,826 --> 00:52:45,528
a team over to the Foggy Bottom Station--

1234
00:52:45,595 --> 00:52:48,731
We need to use the evacuation corridor, Mr. Secretary.

1235
00:52:48,798 --> 00:52:50,233
What?

1236
00:52:50,299 --> 00:52:55,438
Uh, they want to try to reach the President, sir.

1237
00:52:57,373 --> 00:53:00,443
Do you understand what you’re requesting, Mr. Beck?

1238
00:53:00,510 --> 00:53:02,745
I’ve worked in Echo Tier One, Mr. Secretary.

1239
00:53:02,812 --> 00:53:04,247
I understand national security.

1240
00:53:04,313 --> 00:53:06,149
The Doctor said we have less than three hours,

1241
00:53:06,215 --> 00:53:08,151
and I don’t know if Mr. Cushing’s plan’s gonna work,

1242
00:53:08,217 --> 00:53:10,319
so why don’t we attack this from both ends?

1243
00:53:12,321 --> 00:53:14,023
You wanna save the President or not?

1244
00:53:14,090 --> 00:53:16,826
As much as I hate to say this,

1245
00:53:16,893 --> 00:53:19,796
the national security must take precedence

1246
00:53:19,862 --> 00:53:22,865
over any single President’s life.

1247
00:53:24,300 --> 00:53:26,636
Let’s see what President Wilder says about that.

1248
00:53:26,702 --> 00:53:29,705
Wait. What?

1249
00:53:29,772 --> 00:53:31,674
[cellphone ringtone]

1250
00:53:31,741 --> 00:53:33,476
Here we go.

1251
00:53:33,543 --> 00:53:34,544
President Wilder.

1252
00:53:34,610 --> 00:53:36,879
So what do you got? Did you find Powell yet?

1253
00:53:36,946 --> 00:53:38,581
President Wilder, we located President Powell

1254
00:53:38,648 --> 00:53:40,082
and Vice President Jameson.

1255
00:53:40,149 --> 00:53:41,717
Doctor says we have less than three hours

1256
00:53:41,784 --> 00:53:44,420
before the earthquake happens. Mr. Cushing has some plan

1257
00:53:44,487 --> 00:53:46,189
about blowing subways and flooding

1258
00:53:46,255 --> 00:53:48,057
with the Potomac River to act as a buffer.

1259
00:53:48,124 --> 00:53:50,026
I’m requesting access to the evacuation corridor

1260
00:53:50,092 --> 00:53:51,828
to continue the search.

1261
00:53:51,894 --> 00:53:53,162
That’ll be a problem,

1262
00:53:53,229 --> 00:53:55,398
but it’s something I can solve later.

1263
00:53:55,464 --> 00:53:57,300
Right now, our objective is ensuring Powell

1264
00:53:57,366 --> 00:53:58,835
doesn’t make it out of there alive.

1265
00:53:58,901 --> 00:54:01,170
- Are you with me? - Yes, sir.

1266
00:54:01,237 --> 00:54:03,673
- Cushing, is he still there? - Yes, sir.

1267
00:54:03,739 --> 00:54:05,675
Okay, I want him out of there. What about Agent Diaz?

1268
00:54:05,741 --> 00:54:07,743
- Is he still there? - Yes, sir.

1269
00:54:07,810 --> 00:54:10,346
Ah. Let me speak with Harris.

1270
00:54:12,949 --> 00:54:14,083
Here you go.

1271
00:54:15,384 --> 00:54:17,320
[birds squawking]

1272
00:54:19,355 --> 00:54:20,289
Yes, sir.

1273
00:54:20,356 --> 00:54:22,325
Mr. Secretary, what guarantee do we have

1274
00:54:22,391 --> 00:54:24,961
this plan of Mr. Cushing’s is gonna work?

1275
00:54:25,995 --> 00:54:27,296
None, sir.

1276
00:54:27,363 --> 00:54:29,432
They’re basing it on a theory from Dr. Greene,

1277
00:54:29,498 --> 00:54:32,235
where we’ll blast into the tectonic plates below

1278
00:54:32,301 --> 00:54:33,603
and flood them with water,

1279
00:54:33,669 --> 00:54:36,372
acting as a lubricant against their friction

1280
00:54:36,439 --> 00:54:37,673
and stop the quake.

1281
00:54:37,740 --> 00:54:39,542
Wait. Hold on a second. You’re telling me

1282
00:54:39,609 --> 00:54:41,077
that we’re basing saving the President

1283
00:54:41,143 --> 00:54:43,579
and the Vice President’s lives on a theory?

1284
00:54:43,646 --> 00:54:44,881
Yes, sir.

1285
00:54:44,947 --> 00:54:47,049
But I’m afraid that’s our best chance

1286
00:54:47,116 --> 00:54:48,718
- at stopping the quake. - Right.

1287
00:54:48,784 --> 00:54:52,021
Who’s in charge of placing these explosives in the subway?

1288
00:54:52,088 --> 00:54:55,224
Staff Sergeant Rawlings out of McNair, sir.

1289
00:54:55,291 --> 00:54:57,093
I want Mr. Cushing himself to do that.

1290
00:54:57,159 --> 00:54:58,828
He’s the expert. This is his mission.

1291
00:54:58,895 --> 00:54:59,996
Yes, sir.

1292
00:55:00,062 --> 00:55:01,297
I don’t want to take any chances.

1293
00:55:01,364 --> 00:55:03,599
And I want Agent Diaz to take Beck and his men

1294
00:55:03,666 --> 00:55:04,901
into the E corridor.

1295
00:55:04,967 --> 00:55:06,636
We attack this problem both sides.

1296
00:55:06,702 --> 00:55:07,870
Are you with me?

1297
00:55:07,937 --> 00:55:09,038
- Yes, sir. - Very well.

1298
00:55:09,105 --> 00:55:10,706
Keep me apprised.

1299
00:55:10,773 --> 00:55:13,009
- Yes, sir. - Son of a gun.

1300
00:55:14,410 --> 00:55:16,345
[sirens blaring]

1301
00:55:19,181 --> 00:55:20,583
[clears throat]

1302
00:55:20,650 --> 00:55:22,251
Mr. Cushing.

1303
00:55:22,318 --> 00:55:23,486
Sir.

1304
00:55:23,552 --> 00:55:26,822
The acting President wants you to personally

1305
00:55:26,889 --> 00:55:28,991
take charge of the placing

1306
00:55:29,058 --> 00:55:31,160
of the charging at the Blue Line.

1307
00:55:31,227 --> 00:55:33,863
Sir, Sergeant Rawlings is more than capable of doing that.

1308
00:55:33,930 --> 00:55:35,631
I know that.

1309
00:55:35,698 --> 00:55:37,199
However, the acting President

1310
00:55:37,266 --> 00:55:39,902
instructed me to ask you,

1311
00:55:39,969 --> 00:55:43,239
seeing as you are the expert in this field.

1312
00:55:43,306 --> 00:55:45,508
He wants no room for error.

1313
00:55:47,043 --> 00:55:48,344
Yes, sir.

1314
00:55:48,411 --> 00:55:51,047
- Agent Diaz. - Yes, sir.

1315
00:55:51,113 --> 00:55:55,051
Per instruction of the acting President,

1316
00:55:55,117 --> 00:55:57,620
you will take Mr. Beck and his men

1317
00:55:57,687 --> 00:55:59,889
down into the E corridor

1318
00:55:59,956 --> 00:56:01,590
to continue the search.

1319
00:56:01,657 --> 00:56:03,059
Yes, sir.

1320
00:56:04,827 --> 00:56:06,295
Mr. Cushing...

1321
00:56:07,196 --> 00:56:10,032
it’s best that you get going.

1322
00:56:10,099 --> 00:56:11,734
Yes, Mr. Secretary.

1323
00:56:11,801 --> 00:56:12,935
Katherine.

1324
00:56:13,002 --> 00:56:14,270
Rodney, stay here with the Secretary

1325
00:56:14,337 --> 00:56:16,339
in case we need some more help with the search.

1326
00:56:16,405 --> 00:56:17,773
Got it.

1327
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:19,275
Agent Diaz.

1328
00:56:19,342 --> 00:56:20,476
Sir.

1329
00:56:24,246 --> 00:56:26,382
[tense music playing]

1330

[crowd screams]

1332
00:56:41,964 --> 00:56:44,400
KATHERINE: I wish we could stop and help these people.

1333
00:56:45,434 --> 00:56:47,370
I just don’t understand

1334
00:56:47,436 --> 00:56:49,472
the decision to use me for this.

1335
00:56:49,538 --> 00:56:52,541
I mean, any engineer is more than capable.

1336
00:56:52,608 --> 00:56:55,544
I guess they just-- they want to be safe.

1337
00:56:55,611 --> 00:56:58,180
Everyone knows that you’re the best in your field.

1338
00:57:00,049 --> 00:57:01,884
Yeah, still.

1339
00:57:01,951 --> 00:57:05,688
There’s just something that’s off about all of this.

1340
00:57:05,755 --> 00:57:07,523
And I don’t trust Beck.

1341
00:57:07,590 --> 00:57:10,526
Pro Tempore Wilder sent him, Lance.

1342
00:57:10,593 --> 00:57:12,328
I know.

1343
00:57:14,296 --> 00:57:15,431
There’s Sergeant Rawlings.

1344
00:57:36,452 --> 00:57:38,054
How you doing, sir? Great to see you.

1345
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:39,755
You as well. Thanks for your swift help.

1346
00:57:39,822 --> 00:57:40,756
You got everything we need?

1347
00:57:40,823 --> 00:57:42,725
Yes, sir. Dr. Greene.

1348
00:57:42,792 --> 00:57:43,959
Good to see you, ma’am.

1349
00:57:44,026 --> 00:57:45,728
This is Private Vincent. He’s from the Air Force.

1350
00:57:45,795 --> 00:57:47,763
- Pleased to meet you, sir. - He’s here to assist.

1351
00:57:47,830 --> 00:57:49,231
DCPC shut down the Blue Line.

1352
00:57:49,298 --> 00:57:50,733
They’ve evacuated everyone.

1353
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,068
We should be good to go.

1354
00:57:52,134 --> 00:57:54,270
All right. Let’s move.

1355
00:57:58,441 --> 00:58:00,443
We’ll make our way down to the ventilator shaft,

1356
00:58:00,509 --> 00:58:02,545
and that’s where we’ll place the charges, sir.

1357
00:58:02,611 --> 00:58:03,546
Excellent.

1358
00:58:07,049 --> 00:58:08,484
Straight down through here.

1359
00:58:11,887 --> 00:58:14,423
We have to go through Gate Two right down there, sir.

1360
00:58:14,490 --> 00:58:15,424
Copy that.

1361
00:58:17,426 --> 00:58:19,929
What kind of remote firing device were you able to get?

1362
00:58:19,995 --> 00:58:21,530
I got an MK 152.

1363
00:58:21,597 --> 00:58:23,132
But I’m worried the frequency

1364
00:58:23,199 --> 00:58:24,700
might travel too far down there.

1365
00:58:24,767 --> 00:58:26,702
Might have to get real close to blow it up.

1366
00:58:26,769 --> 00:58:28,604
Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

1367
00:58:28,671 --> 00:58:30,005
Whoa, whoa. Wait.

1368
00:58:30,072 --> 00:58:31,607
Why is this?

1369
00:58:31,674 --> 00:58:33,442
Well, these walls are thick, Katherine.

1370
00:58:33,509 --> 00:58:35,244
Frequency may not travel.

1371
00:58:36,178 --> 00:58:37,746
I don’t like that, Lance.

1372
00:58:38,681 --> 00:58:40,549
It’s gonna be okay, sweetheart.

1373
00:58:41,917 --> 00:58:44,053
It’s not gonna come to that, is it, Staff Sergeant?

1374
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:45,754
No, sir. It’ll work like a charm.

1375
00:58:47,022 --> 00:58:48,157
All right?

1376
00:58:49,325 --> 00:58:51,160
All right. Come on.

1377
00:58:52,194 --> 00:58:53,696
We’ll go down there,

1378
00:58:53,762 --> 00:58:55,397
follow the signs, sir.

1379
00:58:56,799 --> 00:58:57,867
Just me, Sergeant.

1380
00:59:00,636 --> 00:59:02,671
Got your firstborn on the way, right?

1381
00:59:02,738 --> 00:59:04,173
Yeah. Yes, sir.

1382
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:05,808
But I was fully prepared to handle--

1383
00:59:05,875 --> 00:59:06,809
I know you were.

1384
00:59:06,876 --> 00:59:07,610
I’d prefer if you

1385
00:59:07,676 --> 00:59:09,178
and your men stayed topside.

1386
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:12,181
Yes, sir.

1387
00:59:13,749 --> 00:59:16,352
But be aware you’re gonna be at the bottom of the Potomac.

1388
00:59:16,418 --> 00:59:18,420
The Blue Line’s gonna run right next to you.

1389
00:59:18,487 --> 00:59:20,890
There’ll be a large fan that feeds into the tube

1390
00:59:20,956 --> 00:59:22,625
above your head maybe 20 feet.

1391
00:59:22,691 --> 00:59:25,427
Make sure to get as far away as you can

1392
00:59:25,494 --> 00:59:27,329
from the shaft before you blow those charges.

1393
00:59:27,396 --> 00:59:29,131
Copy that, Sergeant.

1394
00:59:29,198 --> 00:59:30,833
How much time do I have?

1395
00:59:30,900 --> 00:59:32,501
Less than 90 minutes.

1396
00:59:32,568 --> 00:59:33,969
It’s a generous estimate.

1397
00:59:34,036 --> 00:59:35,204
Not a problem.

1398
00:59:36,238 --> 00:59:38,040
Good luck, sir.

1399
00:59:38,107 --> 00:59:39,842

Grab that weapon off his waistband.

1417

Check for any holdouts.

1418
01:02:20,302 --> 01:02:23,739
You should rethink not carrying a backup weapon, Agent.

1430
01:03:24,466 --> 01:03:25,701
that’ll take you to the interior

1452
01:04:33,469 --> 01:04:34,603
Come on.

[cellphone ringtone]

1455
01:04:42,711 --> 01:04:44,313
Lilian, give me some good news,

1456
01:04:44,379 --> 01:04:47,115
because we are literally setting it up as we speak.

1457
01:04:47,182 --> 01:04:50,118
Grady ran the simulation a dozen times.

1458
01:04:50,185 --> 01:04:51,153
It works every time.

1459
01:04:51,220 --> 01:04:52,154
This should do it.

1460
01:04:52,221 --> 01:04:53,355
[helicopter thrumming]

1461
01:04:53,422 --> 01:04:55,724
Grady, if we all get through this and pull this off,

1462
01:04:55,791 --> 01:04:57,559
I am giving you your doctorate tomorrow.

1463
01:04:57,626 --> 01:04:58,994
You know I’m gonna hold you to that.

1464
01:04:59,061 --> 01:05:01,163
Just make sure as soon as the explosives go off,

1465
01:05:01,230 --> 01:05:03,699
you are as far away from the subway tunnels as possible.

1466
01:05:03,765 --> 01:05:05,634
That water needs a place to be,

1467
01:05:05,701 --> 01:05:07,503
and it is going to move fast.

1468
01:05:07,569 --> 01:05:09,471
Okay, just keep a close eye

1469
01:05:09,538 --> 01:05:10,839
on all the activity happening here.

1470
01:05:10,906 --> 01:05:13,609
We need to know whether this works ASAP.

1471
01:05:16,345 --> 01:05:17,546
Come on.

1472
01:05:24,586 --> 01:05:26,088
Come on.

What is it with all these earthquakes?

1482
01:07:09,625 --> 01:07:11,393
It’s getting old.

1483
01:07:17,132 --> 01:07:19,401
[buttons beep]

1484
01:07:19,468 --> 01:07:21,403
Anything?

1485
01:07:21,470 --> 01:07:23,238
Nah. No, let’s keep moving.

1486
01:07:36,051 --> 01:07:38,687
Get you a mocha latte or something?

1487
01:07:39,655 --> 01:07:41,356
No? Okay.

Hello?

01:08:22,564 --> 01:08:23,665
Secretary Harris?

[garbled speech]

1496
01:08:24,866 --> 01:08:25,934
Secretary Harris?

[garbled speech continues]

1498
01:08:33,909 --> 01:08:35,043
What’s going on?

1499
01:08:36,511 --> 01:08:37,612
This guy Beck...

1500
01:08:37,679 --> 01:08:40,615
...ession... President, sir.

1501
01:08:40,682 --> 01:08:42,317
Do you copy?

[crackling]

1503

Secretary Harris?!

Is it happening, Doctor?

1508
01:08:59,067 --> 01:09:01,236
Is this the major quake?

1509
01:09:01,303 --> 01:09:03,171
- Doctor! - You’re not stopping me.

1510
01:09:03,238 --> 01:09:06,141
I’m not trying to stop you. I’m coming with you. Come on.

1511
01:09:11,580 --> 01:09:14,950
Well, something happened.

1512
01:09:16,251 --> 01:09:17,419
Did it work?

1513
01:09:19,354 --> 01:09:20,455
Unclear.

1514
01:09:21,757 --> 01:09:23,091
Nothing’s changing.

1515
01:09:23,158 --> 01:09:25,093
If we flooded the Blue Line for nothing--

1516
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:26,528
Don’t think like that.

1517
01:09:26,595 --> 01:09:29,131
It’s going to work.

1518
01:09:29,197 --> 01:09:30,532
It has to.

1519
01:09:44,146 --> 01:09:45,413
Lance!

1520
01:09:45,480 --> 01:09:46,982
Hey.

1521
01:09:47,048 --> 01:09:48,850
[laughs] Thank goodness you’re okay.

1522
01:09:48,917 --> 01:09:50,152
- Yeah. - You blow the charges, sir?

1523
01:09:50,218 --> 01:09:53,455
I did. We need to get topside right away now.

1527
01:10:07,169 --> 01:10:09,037
Agent, what’s going on?

1528
01:10:11,106 --> 01:10:12,808
This guy Beck and the guy with the tan vest

1529
01:10:12,874 --> 01:10:14,342
are not here to save the President, sir.

1530
01:10:18,146 --> 01:10:20,949
So they’re attempting to find President Powell?

1531
01:10:21,016 --> 01:10:22,617
Are they in the White House?

1532
01:10:22,684 --> 01:10:23,952
Yes, sir.

1533
01:10:24,019 --> 01:10:25,687
This guy Beck’s got my gun.

1534
01:10:25,754 --> 01:10:27,889
[winces]

1535
01:10:27,956 --> 01:10:29,124
All right.

1536
01:10:29,191 --> 01:10:31,993
I’ll send some help down...

1537
01:10:32,060 --> 01:10:33,662
to assist you all.

1538
01:10:33,728 --> 01:10:35,197
Harris out.

1539
01:10:36,164 --> 01:10:37,766
Agent Diaz says Beck

1540
01:10:37,833 --> 01:10:41,636
wants us down there right away to help with the President.

1541
01:10:44,005 --> 01:10:45,040
Son, did you hear me?

1542
01:10:45,106 --> 01:10:47,409
What? Let me see that.

1543
01:10:59,321 --> 01:11:01,556
The intensity should be increasing

1544
01:11:01,623 --> 01:11:02,924
at a faster pace than this.

1545
01:11:02,991 --> 01:11:05,360
Secretary Harris, I set off the charges.

1546
01:11:07,262 --> 01:11:09,397
- Lance... - Yes, sir.

1547
01:11:09,464 --> 01:11:11,499
I need you back here immediately.

1548
01:11:11,566 --> 01:11:13,468
Beck and his men are trying to kill the President.

1549
01:11:13,535 --> 01:11:17,072
Get back here, and quietly handle Beck

1550
01:11:17,138 --> 01:11:20,041
while I figure out how to contact the authorities...

1551
01:11:20,909 --> 01:11:22,277
to deal with the militia.

1552
01:11:22,344 --> 01:11:24,379
Yes, sir. I’ll head back right away.

1553
01:11:27,649 --> 01:11:29,050
- What’s going on? - Staff Sergeant,

1554
01:11:29,117 --> 01:11:30,752
put a QRF on standby. The White House

1555
01:11:30,819 --> 01:11:31,887
- might be under siege. - Yes, sir.

1556
01:11:31,953 --> 01:11:32,988
Be sure to wait to hear

1557
01:11:33,054 --> 01:11:34,823
from either me or Secretary Harris.

1558
01:11:34,890 --> 01:11:37,025
- Yes, sir. - Lance, what’s going on?

1559
01:11:37,092 --> 01:11:39,160
I’ll explain on the way.

1560
01:11:49,604 --> 01:11:52,407
[tense music playing]

1561
01:11:52,474 --> 01:11:53,475
Yes.

1562
01:11:53,541 --> 01:11:54,476
Good.

1563
01:11:56,011 --> 01:11:57,846
Four.

1564
01:11:57,913 --> 01:11:59,581
Six.

1565
01:11:59,648 --> 01:12:00,582
Okay.

1566
01:12:09,224 --> 01:12:12,327
The delta value is decreasing.

1567
01:12:15,997 --> 01:12:17,732
The seismograph’s...

1568
01:12:17,799 --> 01:12:19,668
Are you seeing what I’m seeing?

1569
01:12:19,734 --> 01:12:20,835
Nothing.

1570
01:12:20,902 --> 01:12:23,905
All seismic activity has ceased.

1571
01:12:23,972 --> 01:12:25,206
They did it!

1572
01:12:26,074 --> 01:12:27,242
They stopped the quake!

1573
01:12:27,309 --> 01:12:29,411
- The quake! - [laughs]

1574
01:12:33,782 --> 01:12:36,217
Yes. Yes. Yes. Fantastic.

1575
01:12:37,953 --> 01:12:39,654
Mm, I knew Katherine could do it.

1576
01:12:39,721 --> 01:12:40,655
Oh, my God.

1577
01:12:47,562 --> 01:12:50,732
Secretary Harris, I told Sergeant Rawlings

1578
01:12:50,799 --> 01:12:52,100
to initiate a QRF.

1579
01:12:52,167 --> 01:12:55,203
I instructed him to wait for your clearance.

1580
01:12:56,304 --> 01:12:58,373
Good thinking. Thank you.

1581
01:12:58,440 --> 01:13:01,209
Now, Agent Diaz dispatched one of the militia,

1582
01:13:01,276 --> 01:13:04,479
but he says Beck and his other man got into the White House.

1583
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:07,949
- Are you armed? - Yes, sir.

1584
01:13:08,016 --> 01:13:09,084
What’s your PIL clearance?

1585
01:13:09,150 --> 01:13:10,151
Level two.

1586
01:13:10,218 --> 01:13:11,987
Okay. Okay. Good.

1587
01:13:12,053 --> 01:13:14,089
You’ll be able to clear the ocular scanner

1588
01:13:14,155 --> 01:13:15,557
- to gain entry. - Okay.

1589
01:13:15,623 --> 01:13:18,026
You’re going to E5.

1590
01:13:18,093 --> 01:13:20,929
E5. E5.

1591
01:13:20,996 --> 01:13:22,964
Lance, that White House is--

1592
01:13:23,031 --> 01:13:24,432
it’s liable to collapse any minute now.

1593
01:13:24,499 --> 01:13:27,602
It’s all right. I’m coming back.

1594
01:13:27,669 --> 01:13:28,670
Okay?

1595
01:13:36,444 --> 01:13:37,712
Agent Diaz.

1596
01:13:39,814 --> 01:13:40,749
You all right?

1597
01:13:40,815 --> 01:13:42,484
Mr. Cushing.

1598
01:13:42,550 --> 01:13:44,352
I’m fine.

1599
01:13:44,419 --> 01:13:46,287
This guy Beck and the guy with the tan vest

1600
01:13:46,354 --> 01:13:48,590
are up there looking for the President.

1601
01:13:50,725 --> 01:13:51,960
They got my gun.

1602
01:13:52,027 --> 01:13:53,561
All right.

1603
01:13:57,932 --> 01:13:58,967
Take this.

1604
01:13:59,034 --> 01:14:01,436
No, sir. You keep it.

1605
01:14:01,503 --> 01:14:02,904
He’s not going anywhere.

1606
01:14:02,971 --> 01:14:04,539
All right.

1607
01:14:05,774 --> 01:14:07,675
Where do I head from here?

1608
01:14:08,743 --> 01:14:10,378
Go straight ahead.

1609
01:14:10,445 --> 01:14:12,580
That’ll get you behind the walls of the control panel.

1610
01:14:13,782 --> 01:14:16,951
There’s a panel with a slight outline to it.

1611
01:14:17,018 --> 01:14:18,019
That’ll get you in.

1612
01:14:18,086 --> 01:14:20,655
All right. I’ll be back.

1613
01:14:20,722 --> 01:14:22,524
Mr. Cushing!

1614
01:14:23,591 --> 01:14:24,659
With the President

1615
01:14:24,726 --> 01:14:26,494
and the Vice President.

1616
01:14:28,096 --> 01:14:29,497
You got it.

1617
01:14:31,399 --> 01:14:33,535
[tense music playing]

[fire alarm blaring]

1619
01:14:47,282 --> 01:14:48,783
Hey, Beck. Psst.

1620
01:14:48,850 --> 01:14:50,518
Pssh. Over here.

1621
01:14:55,657 --> 01:14:58,493
Looks like somebody tried to open it from the inside.

1622
01:15:00,395 --> 01:15:01,863
Hey, is anybody in there?!

1623
01:15:01,930 --> 01:15:03,631
Yes! Yes, I’m in here!

1624
01:15:03,698 --> 01:15:04,699
Please help!

1625
01:15:04,766 --> 01:15:06,968
Put your gun away.

1626
01:15:07,035 --> 01:15:08,369
Is that you, Madam President?

1627
01:15:08,436 --> 01:15:11,806
Part of the rescuers with Secretary Harris.

1628
01:15:11,873 --> 01:15:14,509
Yes. Is Mr. Cushing with you?

1629
01:15:14,576 --> 01:15:17,145
Uh, Mr. Cushing’s in another part of the building

1630
01:15:17,212 --> 01:15:18,913
searching for you, Ma’am.

1631
01:15:18,980 --> 01:15:20,582
[groans] Okay.

1632
01:15:20,648 --> 01:15:23,318
Well, can you get me out of here?

1633
01:15:23,384 --> 01:15:25,687
I think something’s blocking the door.

1634
01:15:25,753 --> 01:15:27,555
Yes, ma’am. There’s some debris out here.

1635
01:15:27,622 --> 01:15:29,757
We’ll clear it out and have you out in no time.

1636
01:15:34,729 --> 01:15:36,664
[debris scraping]

1637
01:15:43,938 --> 01:15:45,406
Madam President? You all right?

1638
01:15:45,473 --> 01:15:46,975
Yeah, I’m fine.

1639
01:15:47,041 --> 01:15:48,309
Who exactly are you?

1640
01:15:48,376 --> 01:15:50,612
Speaker Wilder sent us to assist with the search.

1641
01:15:50,678 --> 01:15:53,281
Okay. Uh, thank you for coming.

1642
01:15:53,348 --> 01:15:55,450
- Is that the Vice President? - It is.

1643
01:15:56,851 --> 01:15:57,952
What are you doing?

1644
01:15:59,187 --> 01:16:00,555
How’d she die?

1645
01:16:00,622 --> 01:16:02,790
A beam hit her in the back of the head. Look, you guys,

1646
01:16:02,857 --> 01:16:04,526
we should really be getting us out of here.

1647
01:16:04,592 --> 01:16:07,295
This place could come down on top of us any minute.

1648
01:16:07,362 --> 01:16:09,731
Wh-Who are you, anyway?

1649
01:16:09,797 --> 01:16:11,833
- [beeping] - What’s your name?

1650
01:16:13,301 --> 01:16:14,836
Have you found ’em yet?

1651
01:16:14,903 --> 01:16:17,472
Yeah, we found the President and the Vice President.

1652
01:16:17,539 --> 01:16:18,907
The Vice President’s dead.

1653
01:16:18,973 --> 01:16:20,642
She died from the earthquake?

1654
01:16:20,708 --> 01:16:23,344
A beam hit her in the back of the head.

1655
01:16:23,411 --> 01:16:25,146
Well, wonderful.

1656
01:16:25,213 --> 01:16:27,615
Now we only have to fake Powell’s death.

1657
01:16:28,816 --> 01:16:31,386
Who are you talking to?

1658
01:16:31,452 --> 01:16:32,387
- Shh. - Yeah. Nah.

1659
01:16:32,453 --> 01:16:33,821
I’m gonna make it look good.

1660
01:16:33,888 --> 01:16:35,957
Who are you talking to?!

1661
01:16:37,058 --> 01:16:38,293
Yeah, we’ll take care of it.

1662
01:16:38,359 --> 01:16:40,028
Good. You do that.

1663
01:16:40,094 --> 01:16:41,763
And let me know when it’s done.

1664
01:16:46,801 --> 01:16:48,836
Okay, I demand to know who you really are.

1665
01:16:48,903 --> 01:16:51,105
Who are you working for?

1666
01:16:51,172 --> 01:16:53,007
Answer me.

1667
01:16:54,776 --> 01:16:57,278
I guess I can provide you some solace before death.

1668
01:16:57,345 --> 01:16:58,646
[tense music playing]

1669
01:16:58,713 --> 01:17:00,982
Speaker Wilder wants to be President.

1670
01:17:01,049 --> 01:17:02,383
You’re lying.

1671
01:17:03,251 --> 01:17:05,053
I have no reason to lie.

1672
01:17:05,119 --> 01:17:06,554
Grab her.

1673
01:17:06,621 --> 01:17:08,489
We’ll figure something out in the hallway.

1674
01:17:12,427 --> 01:17:13,561
Come on, Madam President.

1675
01:17:14,996 --> 01:17:16,998
Don’t move!

1676
01:17:17,065 --> 01:17:18,233
[groans]

1677
01:17:18,299 --> 01:17:21,035
[dramatic music playing]

1678
01:17:31,879 --> 01:17:33,481
[winces]

1679
01:17:36,284 --> 01:17:37,785
[yells]

1680
01:17:42,223 --> 01:17:43,691
[triumphant music playing]

1681
01:17:46,327 --> 01:17:47,862
Don’t make me kill you.

1682
01:17:50,231 --> 01:17:52,166
[sirens blaring]

1683
01:17:52,233 --> 01:17:54,335
[helicopter thrumming]

1684
01:18:07,682 --> 01:18:10,485
Madam President, we’re ready now.

1685
01:18:12,353 --> 01:18:14,422
Thank you, Gracie.

1686
01:18:17,525 --> 01:18:19,594
Citizens of the United States,

1687
01:18:19,661 --> 01:18:22,597
we have overcome a monumental tragedy,

1688
01:18:22,664 --> 01:18:25,166
the loss of life and the near destruction

1689
01:18:25,233 --> 01:18:26,234
of our nation’s capital.

1690
01:18:26,301 --> 01:18:28,970
And I can inform you all

1691
01:18:29,037 --> 01:18:31,372
that some very brave people stepped forward

1692
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:33,074
and made all the difference.

1693
01:18:34,409 --> 01:18:35,910
Thank you.

1694
01:18:39,781 --> 01:18:42,917
HARRIS: Lance, Katherine, thank you.

1695
01:18:42,984 --> 01:18:46,220
Thanks for bringing us onboard, sir.

1696
01:18:46,287 --> 01:18:48,122
I’m so glad we were able to help.

1697
01:18:48,189 --> 01:18:50,825
You were both instrumental.

1698
01:18:50,892 --> 01:18:53,928
We couldn’t have done this without either of you.

1699
01:18:53,995 --> 01:18:54,996
Thank you.

1700
01:18:58,633 --> 01:19:02,403
Well, I have somewhere I need to be.

1701
01:19:02,470 --> 01:19:04,005
To arrest Speaker Wilder?

1702
01:19:05,106 --> 01:19:06,407
Yes.

1703
01:19:06,474 --> 01:19:08,509
I want to be there personally.

1704
01:19:10,712 --> 01:19:11,779
[grunts]

1705
01:19:20,254 --> 01:19:21,589
You know, the Secretary’s right.

1706
01:19:21,656 --> 01:19:22,757
Hmm.

1707
01:19:22,824 --> 01:19:24,726
We couldn’t have done any of this without you.

1708
01:19:24,792 --> 01:19:29,063
Just think, you were worried about me just sitting at home.

1709
01:19:29,130 --> 01:19:30,131
- Yeah. - [laughs]

1710
01:19:34,369 --> 01:19:37,705
You know, we didn’t finish our coffees this morning.

1711
01:19:37,772 --> 01:19:38,740
[laughs]

1712
01:19:41,175 --> 01:19:42,910
I could really use some coffee.

1713
01:19:42,977 --> 01:19:44,345
Wonder where I can get go get some.

1714
01:19:44,412 --> 01:19:45,346
- Sounds... - [chuckles]

1715
01:19:45,413 --> 01:19:47,615
- I’ll buy. - Oh, nice.

1716
01:19:48,916 --> 01:19:52,353
And, uh, there’s something

1717
01:19:52,420 --> 01:19:54,956
that I wanted to tell you this morning

1718
01:19:55,022 --> 01:19:56,324
before all this.

1719
01:19:56,391 --> 01:19:58,259
Yeah. What is it?

1720
01:19:58,326 --> 01:20:02,930
You’re gonna get a chance to be a helicopter parent.

1721
01:20:06,701 --> 01:20:08,436
You are--You mean--

1722
01:20:08,503 --> 01:20:10,104
- You’re--You’re pregnant? - Yeah.

1723
01:20:10,171 --> 01:20:11,105
- [laughs] - Yeah.

1724
01:20:11,172 --> 01:20:12,240
Really? That’s...

1725
01:20:12,306 --> 01:20:14,208
[both laugh]

1726
01:20:15,777 --> 01:20:18,780
That’s--That’s fantastic news.

1727
01:20:18,846 --> 01:20:21,649
Can you--Can you even have coffee?

1728
01:20:21,716 --> 01:20:25,186
Yes! Lance, let’s go.

1729
01:20:25,253 --> 01:20:26,454
This has been a wild day.

1730
01:20:26,521 --> 01:20:27,555
[both laugh]

1731
01:20:27,622 --> 01:20:29,757
[calm music playing]

1732
01:20:43,204 --> 01:20:45,139
