THE NIGHT THE WORLD EXPLODED

Who lives to tell the tale,

remember that the day began with a fragile, breathtaking beauty.

The temperature was cool, around 10 degrees.

The mountain air it arrived pure even in the city.

It was one day unreal enough to

act as a backdrop for the birth of the world

or for his death.

Doctor Morton.

Good morning Hutchinson.

Dr. Conway he wants to see her right away.

Isn't it your day off?

She spent the whole night to the pressure photometer.

Oh, again!

It will end up passing the basement life!

I'll put an end to this!

He's saying she's already gone, Mrs. Morton?

At what time?

It's such a beautiful day I have took the long way to come.

Thank you, Mrs Morton, he just came in.

I'm a little worried about you, young man.

How many nights in a row do you want to spend on that pressure photometer?

Ellis...

I finished.

Are you done? But it's wonderful!

Not exactly.

You mean she already has an earthquake expected?

See for yourself!

For about an hour he's recording like this.

42 units? Something must have been damaged!

I checked all the equipment and there is nothing wrong.

You discovered the source of the impulses?

No, but not even the impulse of one atomic bomb would cause this.

An earthquake is about to strike, Ellis.

A big one.

Have you calculated where it will happen?

A few kilometers from here.

When?

In the next 24 hours, doctor.

Hutch!

I want a private plane for me and Dr. Conway,

ready to take off in twenty minutes!

Soon!

You know how much I respect your opinion.

But you realize what are you asking about?

You want me to evacuate almost a million people!

But governor, they live in the disaster zone!

According to his device.

Governor!

You have a barometer here which can predict bad weather.

It achieves this by measuring the atmospheric pressure.

Because it's not as possible measure the earth's pressure?

This is what an earthquake is:

rock formations that come moved by enormous pressure.

If he had at least an earthquake expected before...

It wasn't ready before! Now yes!

I do not know.

Look at the thing from my point of view.

I order an evacuation:

I have to close the shops, close the industry with enormous costs.

I should call the army to avoid looting.

plus there is the risk of panic.

What happens if he comes what are you wrong?

What happens if he comes Are we right?

Gentlemen, I can only promise this...

I will notify the emergency council.

In the event of an earthquake, they will be ready to act immediately.

Well... thanks for listening to us, Governor Chaney.

I have no other choice.

I know what it would mean to the world if your instrument was right.

The damage you could avoid in the future,

the countless lives that you could save,

but for our own good and for that of the people of this region,

I hope with all my might that you made this trip for nothing!

Thank you, Governor Chaney.

- Goodbye, governor. - Until we meet again.

How did she go?

Not well. Other signs of vibration?

The seismograph does not recorded nothing.

The moment these lines will start to jump,

a million people will risk dying.

You can't give it blame the governor.

If I were him, I wouldn't have ordered I don't even evacuate.

At least, not on the base of an untested device.

I made some coffee.

Thanks, Hutch.

I go down and check again ground connections of the photometer.

Maybe there's a short circuit, after all.

And you, doctor?

Thank you!

It could be a long one night without some support.

Will you stay here all night?

Dr. Conway and me we will continue the observation.

If there is an earthquake, we will be ready to measure it.

Then I could be of use to you.

Listen, Hutch, at 5 o'clock you will run away!

We don't expect him to spit blood.

I'm young and strong, I can do it.

And then...

I might not be more here the day after tomorrow,

better exploit me as long as possible.

What do you mean? Could you leave the day after tomorrow?

At that point you will realize if the photometer really works.

If it works, You won't miss me by leaving.

Do you mean you're abandoning us?

A girl can't work for life!

Hutch, are you...

...you are the most skilled assistant that we have ever had.

We would be lost without you!

It's nonsense. Nobody is irreplaceable.

What's the problem? Do you want more money? Perhaps...

No, it's not about that.

And so why?

Well...

I... I plan to get married.

Marry you?

It's about time, right?

With... Brad?

And who else?

Well, of course I know that frequent for some time, but

I never thought that could happen.

Happened.

I think you know I wish you the best.

Thank you.

It's just that...

Only thing?

Hutch, I think you're okay giving up too soon.

I don't understand what you mean.

Dr. Conway it is not made of stone.

He is just immersed in his work.

Sooner or later he will ring a bell and he will find himself in love with you.

Doctor Morton...

Just give it a little more time.

Time won't make any difference!

Everything the Dr. Conway is his job!

A wife and family stand in his way, they tie him up and strangle him.

Did he... say it himself?

He would say it... if he took the time to analyze his thoughts.

But she can change hers way of thinking, that's right!

If she hasn't noticed me yet, she never will.

And you're willing to settle for a second choice?

Happiness is one question of acceptance.

Nobody can expect to have it all!

And then Brad is really wonderful.

You know, I think a scientist never be satisfied

until he reached the top.

I think I'm a scientist too, but I'm also a woman

and I don't want to find myself alone a dream and a treasure chest of hopes.

Her coffee is getting cold.

The earthquake?

Is that him, doctor?

I didn't think it would started with this force.

Let's get out of here, quick!

EARTHQUAKE DEVASTATES THE SOUTH! Thousands dead; Billions of damages

The damage was more serious on the railways,

littered with wagon wreckage.

The refineries are enveloped from smoke and flames

of their own products.

The fire devastates the area of disaster from the mountains to the sea.

But the gigantic earthquake

did not grasp the south of country completely unprepared.

According to the plans drawn up the the day before by the governor

and the Emergency Council,

the armed forces assist the police,

while civilians search among the ruins possible survivors.

What they missed, during this difficult operation

is that the earth's axis it moved three degrees.

Hutch, I know I'm bothering you your wedding plans, but

something important is happening and I need your help.

No, not tomorrow, right away!

I'm leaving for the Capitol in 3pm minutes, I want you to come with me.

Thanks Hutch! Hurry up!

You have to go back, this is a risk area.

Here is our authorization.

Follow me, Dr. Conway.

CITY HALL

You have to wait the end of the meeting.

Hey, Dr. Conway's here! He predicted the earthquake!

Dr. Conway, a comment! Wait, where are you going now?

I contributed to the disaster, I should have ordered an evacuation.

Doctor Conway!

I'm sorry to interrupt like this,

but I have information about the utmost importance to point out.

Go on.

This earthquake...

I'm afraid it's just a taste of what's to come.

Will there be another one?

Almost twice as intense, unless there are sensor errors.

God help us!

There will be some too in Europe and Canada.

And several others that fortunately they will be at sea.

We need to report this to Washington!

Doctor Morton is already there left for Washington.

He will meet the Secretary of Defense.

How long do we have?

Three, maybe four days.

But the worst part is that other tremors could follow.

More earthquakes? What is going on?

We do not know,

but it seems like something in the Earth is expanding

creating sufficient force to literally tilt the surface.

Look at the chandelier aligning it with the wall

and you will see that it hangs with a slight angle.

The ground below is inclined by almost three degrees.

It should have settled, but the pressure doesn't allow it.

It's like a yeast dough which pushes the crust upwards.

Is there anything we can do?

Nothing, until we find out the cause.

If we don't succeed and the pressure continues to increase,

there will be such powerful explosions to reduce the planet to dust.

Dr. Conway, all funds referred to he needs, I am available to him.

Thank you, governor!

We intend to descend into the caves of Carlsbad with our equipment.

It might take quite a bit of money.

Why caves?

We want to penetrate the as much as possible in the land.

The closer we get at the origin of the pressure,

the more chance we have of determine what it is.

Let's hope so!

More than hoping, gentlemen, it is better to pray.

Scientists of all part of the world they work

desperate to find out more on this cataclysmic force.

A sort of community was born, connected by radio, cable and telephone

HQ-focused not Carlsbad Caverns Officer.

This is the plus section great of the caves,

called "the great room".

It's not a very imaginative name, but that's okay.

Where is the fund located?

It's quite far away.

The lowest level is a almost 400 meters deep.

It is called the "springboard".

Let's jump then!

It's too far away for the audience.

What are the dimensions?

Oh, about 27 meters.

It's very humid.

Usually there are several meters of water in the pit,

but we pumped it most of it away.

The temperature is around at 13 degrees during the year,

so we connected a small stove to reduce the cold.

I thought he would appreciate it, Miss Hutchinson.

Hutch. It's not very elegant, but I've gotten used to it now.

We had enough time to get your gear off.

- You will find it in good condition. - Thank you.

I check the intercom.

Ready?

Ready.

You can come down whenever you want.

- Dave, I'm putting you in charge. - Why ?

I don't escape responsibilities, but the stakes are too high

and it is important that i better hold the reins!

- Ellis, I... - We don't have time to argue!

Who goes first?

Hutch and me! We'll take turns.

Rest, Ellis. I'll be in touch.

All right.

You hang it on your belt.

Good luck, Dave.

A little scared?

I am fine.

He has arrived?

Not yet.

Hello, up there!

Hello to you too!

How is it going?

It's fantastic! And claustrophobic!

How is it going?

Everything OK...

...until now.

The worst is yet to come.

The ladder rocks!

He has some problems.

It's blocked.

Hello, Dave, it's blocked!

We'll have to get her up!

Wait!

Hutch! Can you hear me?

Yes!

Yes I hear you!

Come down!

I...

I cannot!

Yes you can!

Just step off one foot at a time!

Come on, put that foot down!

I can not make it!

I can not move!

I'm coming up to help you!

No!

I felt like a woman loved me she would have made a joke like that!

Be very brave and first time danger signal, you give up!

What would your mother and father say?

If you want to be cheered up, that's fine!

But remember... you won't help us by being up there!

We'll let you take the first train home!

We'll replace you with Anderson, he is brave!

Don't you dare!

I... I'm coming down!

She moved!

Probably his Her intervention shook her.

She had never spoken to me like that!

- But you came down, right? - Yes but...

You are too precious to be able to lose you.

My legs are shaking.

- Come on, sit down for a moment. - No, I'm fine...

No, no, no, come on, sit down!

Hello, Ellis? She did it.

I start getting the equipment.

You listen...

because she said that thing of my mother and father?

We are all children little ones who are afraid.

I felt like when I was five feet tall.

- She? - Already.

Not as I walked down the ladder.

When I got here...

Where do you start to stop an earthquake?

I know what she means.

Yet people matter about us in this sense.

It's almost as if the Earth...

he was taking revenge the way we have plundered its natural resources.

Not very scientific, right?

Dave, we just received a report.

Southern California was hit again an hour ago.

Has the area tilted further?

About four degrees!

Better get to work right away!

Ask one of the rangers to come and give us a hand.

Kirk is about to come down.

Of course all of these earthquakes make an impression.

This is just the beginning!

And it was really just the beginning.

Eight hours later, three cities near Istanbul were shaken by earthquakes

who have reduced them to ruin, creating files of refugees.

A city in Canada was the next to crumble.

The death toll is high.

Governor Chaney... The general Bortes and Admiral Stark.

At your service, governor.

Thank you. Mr. Carson, the boss civil protection district.

- Pleasure. - Gentleman...

The Secretary of the Defense ordered us

to coordinate our forces with your Council.

You didn't come too soon. Neither another one has just been reported.

What are the damages?

Fortunately, not many. That area is sparsely populated.

Dr. Conway's team did you send any more information?

No, they just finished prepare the equipment in Carlsbad.

In the meantime, we will refine our master plan.

Of course, everything is on standby.

The pump turned off.

I will take care of it.

Hey, you two, take a look at this.

It shouldn't be down here there is nothing but limestone!

Absolutely, of igneous origin!

It's not calcite.

It cannot be granite or basalt.

So, maybe it's kirkite. He will take the name of its discoverer, you.

I'm just a rock enthusiast.

I want to bring this thing home, look at her

and add it to my collection.

- Can I take this bottle? - Certain!

It's time for me to take command.

Ellis, wait until Kirk is upstairs.

- Then come down. - Okay!

- Well! - We will see each other.

Okay Kirk.

Hey, quartz shines again!

Another unit of additional pressure.

What is the temperature?

Two degrees, four points more.

It could be a fault...

or it could depend really from the pressure.

And if it's not a fault,

we'd be pretty close to the source of the pressure.

That's exactly what I think, we are close!

There's nothing down there but dust. Even the rocks have disintegrated.

Search teams do They stay until dawn, sir.

They didn't find any trace of Kirk's body.

I can't understand why Kirk did something like that.

It was too reasonable to keep dynamite or TNT in his quarters!

Nitrites and trinitrines produce fragments of solid matter.

Something more is needed powerful to produce this.

Poor boy!

Listen...

It's better if you try to rest. I'll do the morning shift.

All right.

Good morning!

Good morning, Hutch.

Good morning!

Still pressure?

No, but we've located the source.

It's in this area somewhere, right near the surface.

The temperature also rose.

I was just about to ask.

I don't see anything here that can produce that kind of pressure!

Unless you're sitting down at all above an oil field.

Could be. I'll do some tests with the seismograph.

In the meantime, you'd better go to rest. You've been working for 12 hours.

All right!

Let me know right away if you discover something.

All right.

You do not have slept last night, right?

How do you know it?

One of the rangers said seeing you walking around.

I was not able to Get Kirk out of my head.

The last time we saw him, he was so happy!

And all because he had found some unusual rocks.

Yes...he's funny, isn't he?

Hundreds of people remained killed in the last earthquake.

But they're just statistics, until it's about someone we know.

Those rocks were unusual, It is not true?

Hutch, I've seen many rocks in my life,

but this type is me completely unknown.

Anything new, Dave? Perhaps, an unknown mineral?

It cannot come from above, therefore it must be an intrusion from below.

Keep it.

Is heavy!

Yes, a lot of mass compressed in that little piece.

So much it amazes me!

You think it might cause pressure?

I do not know.

We can assume

than an unknown mineral has unknown properties.

Let's see if it holds up to a pair of pliers!

No sign!

Hardness it seems correspond to the density.

Why not do you analyze when you go up?

Yes I will.

You heard someone of other scientists?

Yes, they are as perplexed as we are.

And Fuji, which was experimenting with artificial earthquakes?

Nothing.

All he knows is that when a pressure, artificial or otherwise,

is applied to a fault, an earthquake occurs.

And Brad? Did you hear it?

Yes.

I'm sorry I ruined it your wedding plans.

It couldn't have been done otherwise.

Look!

Let's get out of here!

Dave, Dave, are you okay?

Dave, Dave, are you okay?

Yes, Ellis! Now everything is under control.

What happened?

We just had a demonstration of what killed Kirk.

I'll be down right away!

Why is it so hot down here?

If you think it's hot now, you would have should have been here 10 minutes ago.

But what happened?

We found out what produces that pressure down here.

Isn't it the oil field?

It's those rocks!

Or maybe we should call them Element 112!

Element 112?

There are 111 known elements. This must be 112.

It is better not to handle it in this way.

The mineral is harmless when it's wet,

but it has particular properties when it is dry.

What properties?

He has a tendency to expand and overheat.

And then to explode.

This is what killed Kirk.

He was passionate about rocks, and he brought one to his cabin.

And it is also the cause of these earthquakes.

Item 112 must be scattered everywhere on the earth.

For some reason, it's pushing itself to the surface.

Better to test and find out why he behaves this way.

And then you better run to Washington.

We will do 12 hour shifts to monitor the pressure photometer.

You'll be down here all alone.

So?

And you would be the girlfriend he had afraid going down the ladder?

I'm Dr. Conway.

Oh, yes, doctor. Can he wait a minute, please?

Mr. Secretary, Dr. Conway he is here when he wishes to see him.

Let him in.

You can come in, doctor.

Thank you.

Deputy Secretary of Defense Daniel J. Winters

It looks amazing! A new element?

I know, Mr. Secretary.

What does he intend to do?

Gather all the best scientists of the world.

It might not be that simple.

Why not?

Get scientists here from all over the world involves

a series of problems diplomats and passports.

Mr. Secretary,

we are facing the largest emergency known to man!

Bureaucracy is something that we can't afford it now.

If I can give her the green light, remember, I said, if...

where he would like to keep this meeting?

In some military area. The more limited it is, the better.

All right. I can give you the Smokeridge proving ground.

It's not too far from Carlsbad Caverns.

It's perfect, thanks.

Remember, Conway, I said "if"!

I'll call you at the hotel.

Well.

LEADING SCIENTISTS CALLED

SCIENTISTS MEET URGENTLY

SMOKERIDGE TEST RANGE

LIMITED ACCESS TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING

STAY AWAY

Now that I've explained it to you this new element,

no doubt you don't see Time to check it out.

You can get as close as you want, gentlemen.

The demonstration will be carefully monitored.

I now ask the well-known mineralogist,

Professor Hagstrom from Stanley University

kindly examine this sample.

It's warm.

Hold it another second.

It's getting hotter.

Put it on the table, please

Now look at it carefully, gentlemen!

The first phase is almost finished.

Get... bigger.

The size doubles and the temperature increases accordingly.

What is the explanation?

Element 112 increases its mass

combining with the nitrogen present in the air,

thus becoming a nitrogen compound,

like gunpowder, TNT and dynamite.

Do you mean it's an explosive?

With an expansion power in capable of breaking anything,

including Earth!

It's stunning!

It is capable of detonating the earth in a thousand pieces.

Tell me, sir, do we risk an explosion now?

Must reach the melting temperature of steel,

two stages before explosion point.

It won't take long, gentlemen.

The process you just have seen is canceled in the water.

Hydrogen controls the element 112 and eventually absorbs it.

Incredible !

That's why this element it was not discovered before.

It is destroyed in an explosion or with slow wear in the water.

Now, gentlemen, for the second part of our demonstration

please follow me.

Corporal, open the door, Please.

Now, gentlemen, I will show you the explosive properties of element 112.

Now, imagine this is the our world, suspended in space.

Watch what happens when I deposit a small sample of 112.

Not from here, obviously.

We will have a protected and free view from our observation point.

After witnessing this demonstration,

each of you will receive instructions complete and a sample of E-112

to bring to your country.

There you will report to your bosses State and will hold meetings like this

with your emergency advice and public safety committees.

These meetings will be held all on the same day,

so that none region has the feeling

to have been warned earlier or later than the others.

Ten seconds. Get ready, gentlemen. Hold fast. Here we are.

It certainly has proved his thesis.

There's no way to check this item?

With samples, yes. In massive quantities, I don't know.

Which part of the world Do you think he is more at risk?

Those regions where the crust Earth has been weakened

from oil extraction or mining or natural causes,

as in the case of Carlsbad Caverns,

where millions of tons of limestone

have been consumed to form the caves.

In other words,

the element pushes itself to the surface where gravity is reduced.

Exactly!

My assistant was very close to the truth

when he said it was almost as if the Earth was taking revenge

the way we had it robbed of its natural resources.

A call for field unit 8. Morton for Conway.

Field unit 8. Call for field unit 8

Morton for Conway.

Conway for Morton. Over, Ellis.

Dave, there's been a meltdown. Hutch is trapped downstairs.

We are doing everything we can to extract it, but we need help.

Is she hurt?

On the intercom he seemed fine, but I fear that we may run out of oxygen.

I will be there to help you as soon as possible, Ellis.

Let's go!

All right, lower!

Hutch, help is on the way.

Do not move. Conserve as much oxygen as possible.

The pressure photometer indicates 2!

With an R wave of 0.6!

A 0.9 G wave!

Stop talking, save your breath!

There's no need to worry yet, but there could be an increase.

I will keep you informed.

She is a brave girl.

I'm going down.

Ready, up there?

Ready, you better get this data!

Go ahead.

I have 32 on the quartz tube.

R wave at 2.1.

G wave at 5.

I am not joking!

Any idea where it will hit?

I'll let you know as soon as I will have completed my calculations.

You may need another one morning to penetrate there.

Better to leave the line open.

An earthquake coming?

Yes.

We will send an earthquake alert. Keep the line clear.

Well.

The operator is ready.

Must be another big one.

Already.

It will be tough down there if not we manage to get her out in time.

Why?

The epicenter of this earthquake it's practically under our feet.

Attention. Stand back!

Force!

Doctor Morton?

I detect an increase in pressure of 64 on the quartz tube!

How are you?

She's alive!

Get the ladder, quick!

He could be alone the beginning of the earthquake!

How do we get her out of here?

On the platform!

Raise the platform!

Let's raise them!

Out! Everyone get out of here!

CARLSBAD HOSPITAL

Good morning, Dr. Conway.

Good morning!

Hi Hutch!

HI.

How are you this morning, doctor?

I'm discharging her, she is completely recovered.

The future, young lady, belongs to you!

Let him take care of her.

The future can wait.

There's a little something here for you right now.

What is that?

Open it!

A perfume! My favorite, how did you know?

This doesn't concern you.

Come on!

All right...

I searched through your suitcase and there was a bottle like this.

Oh, well, thank you, thank you very much! Not very ethical, but very nice.

Smell.

Want to try some?

Thanks but no!

You know, I'm ashamed of myself, Hutch. How long have you been working for us?

Forever?

And in all that time, I had never given you a gift,

except at Christmas!

Well, you were too busy to think about other things.

This is exactly the problem.

I've been too busy to think about other things...

to focus only on the future, and the present has escaped me.

You know, it's funny... I've never had... a present.

Nobody has it!

Why not?

Why do people have to be blind in front of what surrounds them?

Is the future better than the present?

We eat food without it feel the flavor more.

We are with people and we don't stop to appreciate them.

Why does everyone want to live tomorrow?

You haven't found a way yet to stop earthquakes, right?

Who said that?

You.

You said "eat, drink and be merry" because you might die tomorrow.

Maybe I said it.

There's an earthquake every day, one worse than the other.

It's just a matter of time, before the end.

Do you really believe that?

I wouldn't want to believe it.

We believed this old world was so granitic that

it is almost inconceivable that may cease to exist.

I can't close them eyes before the truth.

There's a way to find out how much time we have left?

With the help of the Datatron...

The electronic brain?

Yes.

We have converted what we know on element 112 in an equation.

We are ready to try it.

You told the guys of ElectroData?

They took us to layout the machine.

Give me five minutes, I'll come with you.

On May 16th in Pasadena, in California, a car,

one of the wonders of our time

has been prepared to think.

First of all the laws fundamentals of geophysics

were imprinted in its memory banks.

The device is complicated almost as much as the human brain.

Then they were provided the facts and figures,

everything that science has learned about element 112.

Here we are!

No one can say for sure that the Datatron is infallible

but in dozens of public demonstrations

analyzed the data that were presented to him,

and made predictions incredibly accurate.

He is finally ready to answer

to the most important question in the history of our planet.

Time before the final explosion...

40577 minutes...

or 676 hours and 17 minutes...

or 28 days, 4 hours and 17 minutes.

I didn't think it would happened so soon.

28 days and 4 hours!

Only 4 weeks to live!

It doesn't seem possible!

I would like to point out that the calculator is not infallible.

We supplied the machine all related data e

there is always the possibility of human error.

There must be something what can be done.

There might be a possibility if the world acts quickly!

Meaning what?

Flood every area where the surface Earth has been weakened.

Replace gravity lost with water.

Make element 112 inactive first that can expand further.

But there are areas we couldn't never reach with water.

We can do it,

but it will take collaboration of all the world

and the greatest engineering brains.

We have 28 days to prove that humanity can collaborate.

If we don't succeed, Maybe we don't deserve to live.

Bureaucracy is eliminated.

Eighteen hours later

the bombs are dropped on the designated areas

moving the Earth on a titanic scale

and creating in one night new riverbeds

that they otherwise would have took years to train.

To fill these riverbeds,

the "rain men" sow the clouds with dry ice.

Does it work, sir?

Hard to say at this distance.

But we are catching up our aim.

It's directly downwind of us.

The control plane is Reporting, sir.

Conway here, over!

Flight X-45, reporting.

Doctor Conway, can you hear me?

Not very well.

There seems to be a lot static interference. Step.

We can not do anything with it. We are flying in a downpour.

What a nice view.

Step.

It's our first big breakthrough and for this we love you. I'm closing!

The rain produced in the driest areas,

It is collected in watersheds,

and channeled towards the critical points.

The common enemy element 112 remains.

38.9, Dr. Conway.

38.9!

An increase to 39.1.

Hi, Hutch.

HI!

Check the chart, Jenkins.

I wanted to pray...

Did you want to pray?

Being with other people... not alone.

But that's all there was to it riots in every church.

People were fighting to get in.

I didn't make it.

I pray alone.

The latest news?

We are still flooding all areas.

I brought my family, Dave. I wanted us all to be together.

Of course.

Dad says we will go at the show tomorrow.

Are you coming too, Uncle Dave?

Sure, darling, we'll all go.

Let's go, baby.

Why don't you have Brad come here?

It is not needed.

The worst is about to happen. You should be with him.

The rules manual says yes she must be with the man she loves.

So?

So...

What do you expect from me with the world falling apart?

That you continue to be secretive?

Hutch...

I tried to tell you how I felt for you that day in the hospital.

I ranted about the people they are blind to everything around them.

But I thought Brad was there.

I know.

Now... it could be too late to fix it.

I hope not, Hutch...

I hope not...

Europe live on television!

One of our most popular districts bass started to tilt,

but now the situation is under control.

What have you done, sir?

What we always do when one of our countries is under threat.

We opened the dams and entered the North Sea.

Connecting from Hokkaido, Japan.

The province of Hokkaido is been shaken by strong earthquakes.

A tidal wave followed.

Element 112 is under control.

The province of Hokkaido is now flooded.

That's all.

Japan is doing it.

Here is a bulletin from Greece.

There were strong tremors check in Thessaly.

A new island lies rising in the Aegean Sea.

Here in Athens they occurred minor tremors, predicted.

Ellis, what do you know about Las Arenas, Nevada?

Well, it's a small town in Soledad Valley.

Has that region ever been flooded?

No, it's one of the places driest on Earth.

What's going on there?

Danger signals.

The ground warms up. All vegetation is dying.

Dr. Conway, a call of utmost urgency.

- Who is? - Sheriff Quinn from Las Arenas, Nevada.

Hello, this is Conway.

There is a new mountain that stands born right in our garden.

Actually, if I didn't fear that she you think I'm missing some wheels,

I would tell her that it's about a volcano!

We'll have to flood that area. Evacuate your people.

They've already thought of it themselves.

Our planes will start to make it rain within an hour.

There is not a single cloud in the sky.

Ready? Sheriff Quinn, Sheriff Quinn!

The line went dead.

Hello, Sheriff Quinn?

Who?

Priority 1? Pass it to me.

He's the superintendent of the Horseshoe Dam.

Ready? Conway speaks.

Doctor Conway, the new mountain of Las Arenas is now an active volcano.

A moment! Find me a plane, quick!

All right.

Okay, now give me the details.

Such powerful explosions can be caused only by element 112.

Captain, you can take us to the edge of that cloud of "cauliflower"?

Yes.

So much smoke!

Hydrogen sulfide, which is much worse.

General, do you want to order the dam to be opened?

What if it doesn't work?

We won't be in able to try something else.

Contact whoever manages the dam.

Superintendent Warren.

Yes sir!

HSHQ, Horseshoe Dam!

This is MDCX, over.

HSHQ?

HSHQ, Horseshoe Dam! This is MDCX, over.

HSHQ, Horseshoe Dam! This is MDCX, over.

Whoever you are, stay away from here.

We are all dead or dying.

It's the gas of the volcano...

That man is dying, sir.

He says everyone else they have already died at the dam

because of the gas of the volcanic cloud.

- Try to call him back. - It's useless, sir.

Conway, if there's no one alive to open the gates of the dam...

Destroy the dam, bomb it.

The bombings ordinary will not be enough.

We can do it if we reach out the generators before suffocating.

But first I want talk to Los Angeles.

This is Hutch, over.

Everything okay, Hutch?

All right, Dave, all good so far.

What is the general situation?

Other tremors were reported. The continental masses resist.

The only emergency from E-112 it seems be in Los Arenas, Nevada. Step.

Now listen carefully.

There is the possibility to control it taking a big risk.

I'll need all the E-112 extracted from the pit for research.

I want Dr. Morton to fly here as soon as possible. He organizes everything!

Hi, Dave.

Doctor Morton,

Dr. Conway wants me to go immediately to Las Serenas.

Okay Hutch.

Take care of her, Mrs. Morton.

I will, Hutch.

Hutch, what are you doing here?

I came to the place by Dr. Morton.

His family needs him.

You should not have done that!

Why? It was just about to transport the item.

There is more! Give it another one look at that container!

We have to bring it up to the level deeper than Horseshoe Dam.

There is no one left to give us a hand.

You wouldn't even be able to to lift one end.

I'll help you, doctor.

Thanks sheriff, but it is very dangerous.

Nowadays it is dangerous to live.

Alright guys, load up that helicopter stuff!

When do we start?

Hutch, I can't let you come.

You can't leave me here!

I've been with you from the beginning and I'll be with you until the end!

Let's go!

Where do you want to land, sir?

At the generator entrance, if possible.

Yes sir.

How does the air seem to you, sir?

Everything seems fine.

Here, take this!

Do you need anything else, sir?

No thank you, just keep the engine running.

Ready for a quick takeoff.

What time is it, Hutch?

11:38, why?

It's time to go!

Dave, can't we help them?

It's too late! As Warren said, they are all dead or dying.

Which side?

Stairs!

The time, Hutch!

11:43!

5 minutes, just enough time set the charge and get back in the air!

But Dave, element 112 it won't explode so quickly!

It will explode quickly and I'll tell you why!

In this room the air contains a lot of nitrogen!

Maybe not enough!

It will be enough!

I took the entire supply of acid nitric from the Los Arenas pharmacy!

We will release the fumes as we leave.

You stay up here!

All right, Dave! Please be careful!

It's right here!

Take that box!

Help me.

Dave, Dave, nitric acid!

Nitric acid!

Street!

Let's take off!

ELEMENT 112 UNLEASH A FLOOD!

THE FLOODS THEY STOP THE DESTRUCTION

THE EARTHQUAKES CEASE New hope for the survival of the world

Finally...

The war isn't over, Hutch, just the first battle.

You mean it could happen again?

Not immediately, maybe in a few hundred years

and element 112 will pop back out.

Unless humanity finds a way to win it forever.

I have great faith in the genius of human beings. This is how we are made.

Crises always strike the best of us comes out.

You are wonderful...

truly wonderful!

Oh darling...

Maybe I spoke too soon...

the Earth beneath me seems to tremble...
