1. We cannot divulge
specifics, but what we can tell youCopy !req
2. is that we are preparing
for a massive catastropheCopy !req
3. that could cause an extinction-level event
for humanityCopy !req
4. in the very near, very real future.Copy !req
5. Listen, I know this all
sounds pretty far-fetched.Copy !req
6. But you know when it
won't seem far-fetched?Copy !req
7. In less than a decade, when a tsunamiCopy !req
8. plunges the entire eastern seaboard
of the United States underwater.Copy !req
9. Marsha, you wanna come in here?Copy !req
10. Xavier's gonna take me on a little walk.Copy !req
11. The minute Versailles
is called, you record the speech,Copy !req
12. we're escorted down, wait for confirmationCopy !req
13. of the safest route
to Joint Base Andrews, then we're out.Copy !req
14. Collins, I think it's time you put
your foot down with your wife.Copy !req
15. Trips to Atlanta are not as risk-free
as they used to be.Copy !req
16. My wife hasn't listened to me
for 20 years, sir.Copy !req
17. I guess we'll just have
to go pick her up from there.Copy !req
18. Don't go.Copy !req
19. I love you, baby.Copy !req
20. See you in 10 days.Copy !req
21. Your wife is alive out there, Xavier.Copy !req
22. And if you stop all this nonsense...Copy !req
23. I can help you find her.Copy !req
24. And now, Bill Roberts
reporting from the United Nations.Copy !req
25. The curtain goes up
in what is hoped to be the final actCopy !req
26. of the nearly two-week-long drama
that is the Cuban Missile Crisis.Copy !req
27. Today, Ambassador Adlai StevensonCopy !req
28. addressed the United Nations
Security Council.Copy !req
29. This resolution calls
as an interim measureCopy !req
30. under Article 40 of the charter
for the immediate dismantlingCopy !req
31. and withdrawal from Cuba of all missile
and other offensive weapons.Copy !req
32. Leaders around the world
rejoiced as a peaceful solution...Copy !req
33. I didn't know you'd come home.Copy !req
34. We got intelligence an hour ago.Copy !req
35. The Soviet sub that was loaded with nukes
was out of contact with Moscow.Copy !req
36. The one that turned around?Copy !req
37. Apparently, its last orders
were to launch all missiles if cornered.Copy !req
38. The captain made the decision not to,
on his own.Copy !req
39. Jesus.Copy !req
40. It's gonna happen again, Miriam.
It's goddamn inevitable.Copy !req
41. What if the wrong person's
at the controls next time?Copy !req
42. What if the wrong person
decides not to turn around?Copy !req
43. You're tired.Copy !req
44. Come to bed.Copy !req
45. You can't save the world tonight.Copy !req
46. Okay. Okay.Copy !req
47. Didn't you hear what I said?Copy !req
48. - Your wife is alive.
- Bullshit.Copy !req
49. I'm not playing your games.Copy !req
50. - It's not bullshit, Agent Collins.
- Everything was destroyed.Copy !req
51. It's a nuclear winter out there.Copy !req
52. Which is exactly
what we thought, initially.Copy !req
53. The expedition,
the four that didn't return.Copy !req
54. They didn't die
because of the environment.Copy !req
55. They died because they were bringing
a survivor back to the bunker.Copy !req
56. Which I ordered them
not to do, by the way.Copy !req
57. And it was gonna open
a whole can of worms,Copy !req
58. and so I had to take care of them.Copy !req
59. My God, could I sound
any more like a Bond villain?Copy !req
60. I swear I'm not a monster.Copy !req
61. Interesting how people who swear
they aren't monsters usually are.Copy !req
62. The expedition set up
shortwave transmittersCopy !req
63. so that we could communicate
while they were outside.Copy !req
64. Transmitters are still active,
and I've been listening.Copy !req
65. - My name is Cameron MiddletonCopy !req
66. of Zanesville, Ohio.Copy !req
67. If Carla or Joseph Middleton
are listening,Copy !req
68. please tell them I'm headed
for the Colorado Bunker Com—Copy !req
69. Looking for safe passages to Colorado.Copy !req
70. - Western Kansas is irradiated.Copy !req
71. Forming a community south of Paso Robles.Copy !req
72. If you're listening, several members
plan to set up camp there.Copy !req
73. People are alive.Copy !req
74. And they're looking for us,
and I believe your wife is one of them.Copy !req
75. Don't... Don't you fucking dare.Copy !req
76. She was in Atlanta, it was a direct hit.
It was unsurvivable.Copy !req
77. The president did something that day,
Agent Collins.Copy !req
78. - Something you don't know about.
- Not true, I was with him.Copy !req
79. I was with him that whole
fucking horrible day.Copy !req
80. - You don't know everything that happened.
- I was there!Copy !req
81. I was there.Copy !req
82. This is our
continuing coverage of the situationCopy !req
83. that started in Antarctica
and is causing unprecedented destructionCopy !req
84. and chaos around the globe.Copy !req
85. Here's what we do know right now.
Just over three hours ago,Copy !req
86. what scientists are calling
a massive mega-caldera,Copy !req
87. or super volcano,
erupted under the Antarctic ice sheet,Copy !req
88. expelling millions of tons of ash
into the atmosphere.Copy !req
89. The force of the explosion
shattered large portionsCopy !req
90. of the ice shelf, instantly melting
trillions of gallons of waterCopy !req
91. and triggering a tsunami
that is hurdling northwardCopy !req
92. at nearly 600 miles an hour.Copy !req
93. - Most disturbingly, some reports...Copy !req
94. indicate the wave
may be as high as 300 feet.Copy !req
95. In an unprecedented move,Copy !req
96. the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric AdministrationCopy !req
97. has put all coastal areas
of the United States on a tsunami watchCopy !req
98. with estimated landfall
at Key West in two hours,Copy !req
99. and the nation's capital in five.Copy !req
100. - Xavier?
- Adding to the chaosCopy !req
101. and the confusion
is a stock market in freefall...Copy !req
102. Xavier, did you hear that?
D.C. in five hours.Copy !req
103. Nationwide cell phone
and internet outages...Copy !req
104. - Xavier.
- Hm?Copy !req
105. - ... as networks are overrun...Copy !req
106. Are you guys here because of this?Copy !req
107. Why are you two stationed
outside the cabinet room door?Copy !req
108. Don't ask me, ma'am.
This is my third day here.Copy !req
109. Uh, is this not normal, sir?Copy !req
110. Marsha, we're just doing what we're told.
I have no additional information.Copy !req
111. - That's Melbourne?
- The death tollCopy !req
112. - is expected to be in the hundreds...
- Nancy's family lives there.Copy !req
113. Ashbridge Preparatory.Copy !req
114. Can you give me 20 seconds?Copy !req
115. Hi, Denise, this is Xavier Collins again.
I'm just calling to reiterate—Copy !req
116. - We're a little busy, Xavier.
- No, I know. I know.Copy !req
117. But how important it is that James
and Presley stay near Jeremy Bradford.Copy !req
118. - You told me this before.
- I know. I'm sorry.Copy !req
119. But someone will be coming to get them.Copy !req
120. You know, actually, if you could just
give them their phones so I could talk.Copy !req
121. - Calls keep dropping.
- Goodbye, Mr. Collins.Copy !req
122. Fuck!Copy !req
123. And what is especially alarming...Copy !req
124. - Xavier, talk to me.
- Hm.Copy !req
125. What do you know?
The cabinet gatheredCopy !req
126. like there's some kind of plan in motion,
and I heard the word "Versailles."Copy !req
127. Marsha, I swear I would tell you.Copy !req
128. I mean, do I need to pick
Edward up from daycare?Copy !req
129. He's got health issues.Copy !req
130. Talk to him.Copy !req
131. The— the president, I have been
with him since his Senate campaign.Copy !req
132. - Edward can't be left alone, okay?
- I will talk to him.Copy !req
133. I will tell you everything
that I find out.Copy !req
134. Out of the way. VP coming through.Copy !req
135. - Classified!
- Sorry, sir.Copy !req
136. Mr. Vice President,
I need a moment with the presidentCopy !req
137. - if you don't—
- You're kidding me.Copy !req
138. communication with our—Copy !req
139. Russia's gone dark. Completely dark.Copy !req
140. Thank you, Henry, we know.
Why don't you have a seat?Copy !req
141. Take a breather, and maybe a Valium.Copy !req
142. Joint Chiefs were just
walking us through it.Copy !req
143. - General Curtleigh.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
144. As the vice president noted,
Russia isn't picking up the red line.Copy !req
145. We're still trying to confirmCopy !req
146. if the Svoboda Group coup d'etat
was successful.Copy !req
147. - Indications are that it was.
- CIA can confirm that.Copy !req
148. We also have confirmations
of troop mobilizationCopy !req
149. to the Chinese border
along the Argun and Amur RiversCopy !req
150. and Western Mongolia.Copy !req
151. It feels like they're setting up
for a land grab, sir.Copy !req
152. And since we don't know all the players
except for the Svoboda Group leader—Copy !req
153. Cherkin. Unpredictable.Copy !req
154. - Ruthless.
- Which I was about to say.Copy !req
155. It is the recommendation
of the Joint Chiefs of StaffCopy !req
156. that we move to DEFCON 3.Copy !req
157. This will set the Air Force
readiness envelope to 15 minutes.Copy !req
158. Christ. Okay, anything else?Copy !req
159. The UN Security Council
is convening in two hours.Copy !req
160. NATO countries have been reaching out.Copy !req
161. Two hours. We lose Florida in two hours!Copy !req
162. I've said that before,
but it was about the electoral college.Copy !req
163. Okay.Copy !req
164. I mean, how bad is it?Copy !req
165. I wanna know. I mean, I know it's bad.Copy !req
166. But honestly, is this it? Is it?Copy !req
167. Half the world leaders we're talking toCopy !req
168. say it's the end of the world,
the others don't.Copy !req
169. The Tories in England
say the volcano's too far awayCopy !req
170. for them to be affected by it,
and they live on a fucking island.Copy !req
171. It will most certainly affect them, sir.Copy !req
172. This appears to be it, Mr. President.
It's what we've been preparing for.Copy !req
173. What about Australia?
Anyone on the horn with Melbourne?Copy !req
174. I can't get anything.Copy !req
175. Melbourne is gone. Sorry, Henry.Copy !req
176. Nancy's entire family.Copy !req
177. As is Sydney. All coastal cities.Copy !req
178. New Zealand, gone.Copy !req
179. Argentina, apart from
the mountain regions, effectively gone.Copy !req
180. Chile, South Africa. Need I go on?Copy !req
181. - We need to make the call.
- Okay, where are my nerds?Copy !req
182. Scientists, come on, step to.Copy !req
183. You said we'd have warning!Copy !req
184. Days or weeks, if this was the real thing.Copy !req
185. What the fuck happened?Copy !req
186. Mr. President,
we thought we'd have warning,Copy !req
187. but this happened faster
than the worst-case scenarioCopy !req
188. - in all of our modeling.
- Bunch of bullshit.Copy !req
189. - Come on.
- We calculated that there'd be 10 daysCopy !req
190. from first seismic activity to eruption,Copy !req
191. but we had minutes.Copy !req
192. - Sir!
- We are not making the wrong call here.Copy !req
193. Move us to DEFCON 3.Copy !req
194. Around the horn,
go or no go for Versailles.Copy !req
195. - Joint Chiefs.
- Go.Copy !req
196. - Homeland Security.
- Go.Copy !req
197. Jesus Christ, we know our fucking titles,
just give me your answers.Copy !req
198. Go.Copy !req
199. Okay.Copy !req
200. I'm calling Versailles.Copy !req
201. So, right now, a— a large wave
is— is approaching Ind-Indonesia.Copy !req
202. Soon, it'll head
to the southern coast of India.Copy !req
203. So, Dr. Louge,
when do you think this will stop?Copy !req
204. When it's done.Copy !req
205. After rolling up to the North Pole
and echoing back down to Antarctica,Copy !req
206. maybe a dozen more times.Copy !req
207. Anything under 300 feet above sea levelCopy !req
208. - will be inundated.Copy !req
209. - You're not thinking about this correctly.
- Oh, my God.Copy !req
210. - It's not a wave.Copy !req
211. - The Antarctic ice sheet accounts...
- Marsha.Copy !req
212. My family's gonna be calling,
make sure you put them through.Copy !req
213. - Yes, Mr. President.
- Sir, can I have a minute?Copy !req
214. It's a go for Versailles.Copy !req
215. Ryan, on me.Copy !req
216. So, when it's done,
that's when it will end.Copy !req
217. Rumors of the
billionaire bunker complex in ColoradoCopy !req
218. - continue to rise...
- Priority list only.Copy !req
219. Are they taking down paintings?Copy !req
220. Boss, what the hell is Versailles?
Is there anything I need to do?Copy !req
221. Your job as briefed.
I'm on Wildcat, you're on me.Copy !req
222. - Mr. President.
- Gotta get this tie off me.Copy !req
223. It's too fucking cheerful.Copy !req
224. - Hi, this is Dr. Teri—
- You know, I once read that necktiesCopy !req
225. date back to Serbian mercenaries
in the 1600s or some shit.Copy !req
226. Just do your job. Alright?
See if you can find...Copy !req
227. Okay, let's go blue.
It's a little more calming.Copy !req
228. Alright, steps, what's next?
Walk me through it.Copy !req
229. You record the speech,
uh, we move down to PEOC.Copy !req
230. And when it's time, board Marine One
to Joint Base Andrews.Copy !req
231. - After that, I don't know.
- Are we going somewhere?Copy !req
232. - Sir, if I may, I just need a word.
- Okay.Copy !req
233. We now take it
to our colleague RebeccaCopy !req
234. in Jakarta right now, where the wave
is due to hit at any moment.Copy !req
235. - Is that correct?
- That is correct, Bob.Copy !req
236. - What you can't see is the water line,Copy !req
237. which is just beyond the city lights,Copy !req
238. has receded well over
three miles out to sea.Copy !req
239. You think that's a safe place
for you to be?Copy !req
240. We're on top of a 20-story buildingCopy !req
241. on the north shore of the island,
so we should—Copy !req
242. - Oh, my God.
- Oh, wow.Copy !req
243. - You okay?
- Oh!Copy !req
244. I don't know if you can hear that.Copy !req
245. We just got hit with a massive
high-pressure sound waveCopy !req
246. that has been preceding the tsunami
and wreaking havoc with air trafficCopy !req
247. - throughout the southern hemisphere.Copy !req
248. - It's quite painful, and...Copy !req
249. What?Copy !req
250. What's going on?Copy !req
251. What is that?Copy !req
252. Oh, my God!
Get away from the edge!Copy !req
253. - Get away from...Copy !req
254. Did we just— did we just lose her?Copy !req
255. - My God.
- We lost Rebecca.Copy !req
256. Can we get back to her?Copy !req
257. - Can we get back to her?Copy !req
258. - What's happening?
- Daddy, what's going on?Copy !req
259. They're moving a few of us
to another room.Copy !req
260. I think the president's kid.Copy !req
261. Good. Is James with you?Copy !req
262. - Yeah.
- Good.Copy !req
263. He is not to leave your sight,
do you understand me?Copy !req
264. - This is not a game.
- Okay.Copy !req
265. You do not let go of his hand,Copy !req
266. and you do not lose sight
of Jeremy Bradford, promise me.Copy !req
267. I promise. Where's Mom?Copy !req
268. - I'm working on that.
- Daddy, people are freaking out.Copy !req
269. Mrs. Johnson fell in the stairs,
and I don't think she's okay.Copy !req
270. Hey, listen to me. There's a plan.Copy !req
271. You're gonna be fine,
they're gonna take you to an airport,Copy !req
272. I'll see you there. So will Mom, okay?Copy !req
273. Shit.Copy !req
274. A plan?Copy !req
275. What airport? What do you know?Copy !req
276. - Have you talked to Cal?
- A little.Copy !req
277. - More soon, okay? Ryan!
- Xavier.Copy !req
278. Ryan!Copy !req
279. - Xavier?
- Head in the game, man.Copy !req
280. Guard the door.Copy !req
281. The scale of this case
is much greater—Copy !req
282. "Remain calm,
'cause the tsunami moves fast,Copy !req
283. but fear moves faster."Copy !req
284. Okay.Copy !req
285. I mean, isn't this a little optimistic?Copy !req
286. It's important to keep the calm.Copy !req
287. This reads like we're prepping people
for a goddamn snowstorm.Copy !req
288. - When does this go out?
- Recording won't airCopy !req
289. until after we evacuate to Andrews.Copy !req
290. I'll lead the press corps
to believe it's broadcasting liveCopy !req
291. - when we play it back.
- Yeah, I don't know, guys.Copy !req
292. It's important we keep to the plan.
Keep people calm.Copy !req
293. Okay.Copy !req
294. Lose the "strength and resilience,"
repeat to the end.Copy !req
295. - That pays off the whole structure.
- Riley, really? Today?Copy !req
296. - Fine.
- Okay. Come on.Copy !req
297. How fast can you turn
around the changes?Copy !req
298. Did you see that fucking wave?Copy !req
299. My family?Copy !req
300. About to load up to Andrews as we speak.Copy !req
301. Yeah. Okay.Copy !req
302. Everyone!Copy !req
303. - People!
- I'd like the room, please.Copy !req
304. Sir, we're on a timetable.Copy !req
305. I'll be ready to record in two.Copy !req
306. Alright, folks, that's a real two minutes.Copy !req
307. "Remain calm, top priority at this time,Copy !req
308. "ensure public safety...Copy !req
309. Bullshit.Copy !req
310. Shoes off, please.Copy !req
311. - Sir.
- That's the first thing I ever said to youCopy !req
312. when we met right here in this office,
and you did it.Copy !req
313. It was so cute.Copy !req
314. Drink?Copy !req
315. It's like a reenactment of that day.Copy !req
316. Sir, Teri is still in Atlanta.Copy !req
317. - They had her on the first flight out...
- Jesus.Copy !req
318. but the FAA grounded everything,
which I just found outCopy !req
319. because the cell phone towers are overrun.Copy !req
320. Calls are dropping, not getting through,Copy !req
321. so I didn't know
for like the last 10 minutes.Copy !req
322. - Xavier, calm down.
- And now, she's stuck there.Copy !req
323. And, um, you said that you were
gonna get her a plane.Copy !req
324. Agent Collins, calm down.Copy !req
325. Where are your kids?Copy !req
326. At school. I think with your son.Copy !req
327. Okay, then they're right
where they need to be.Copy !req
328. They're gonna get picked up
with the other Versailles kids.Copy !req
329. - You're gonna see 'em on the plane, okay?
- Okay.Copy !req
330. And Teri?Copy !req
331. Alright, let's get this done!Copy !req
332. Just like magic.Copy !req
333. Talk to General Curtleigh.
He'll get her here.Copy !req
334. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
335. Oh shit.Copy !req
336. just picked up over Chinese airspace?Copy !req
337. Hi, this Dr. Teri Rogers-Collins—Copy !req
338. - And that's smoke in the air, for sure?
- We're working on it.Copy !req
339. - We need confirmation now.
- General Curtleigh, sir.Copy !req
340. - A little busy.
- The president said I should talk to you.Copy !req
341. - Make it fast.
- My wife was on a plane that was grounded.Copy !req
342. The president said
that you could get her here,Copy !req
343. - and I'm certainly hoping it's possible—
- Facts only. Where?Copy !req
344. Atlanta airport.Copy !req
345. - She's on the list for Versailles?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
346. Dobbins ARB.Copy !req
347. - Go with him.
- Yes, sir, thank you.Copy !req
348. She needs to get
to Dobbins Air Reserve Base.Copy !req
349. It's 25 miles from Hartsfield-Jackson.Copy !req
350. - She have a car?
- I don't know.Copy !req
351. - Her name?
- Teri Rogers-Collins.Copy !req
352. She'll have gate clearance.Copy !req
353. The last transport is wheels-up,
one hour 15.Copy !req
354. - Get her there.
- Thank you, sir.Copy !req
355. I need you push
a clearance through at Dobbins.Copy !req
356. Settle.Copy !req
357. That's too long.Copy !req
358. Have Tompkins cover me
at the Oval door, now.Copy !req
359. - What do you need?
- You're on point, kid's on you.Copy !req
360. POTUS is recording. I'm back in five.Copy !req
361. And recording.Copy !req
362. My fellow Americans,
as you are undoubtedly aware,Copy !req
363. a catastrophe has befallen
the southern hemisphere.Copy !req
364. And while the images from that part
of the world are unsettling,Copy !req
365. it's important we remain calm,Copy !req
366. because a tsunami moves fast,
but fear moves faster.Copy !req
367. This will be a challenging moment.Copy !req
368. We believe that the damage
from the weather event will be extensive.Copy !req
369. Also suggesting
a bunker complex in the upper Alps.Copy !req
370. This is crazy, man.Copy !req
371. - Yeah, my sister got one last week...
- Garcia.Copy !req
372. Can you believe this shit, X?Copy !req
373. And why'd you pull Tompkins? I need her.Copy !req
374. Give me the fastest route
to Dobbins Air Reserve BaseCopy !req
375. - from Hartsfield-Jackson.
- Fastest?Copy !req
376. - The roads are a wreck.
- It's for Teri, it's her only way out.Copy !req
377. On it.Copy !req
378. - Hi, this is Dr. Teri—
- Boss.Copy !req
379. - What you got?
- Tell her to take Route 6Copy !req
380. to Route 5 to Marietta,
stay off all freeways.Copy !req
381. Should take 45 minutes.Copy !req
382. - Good man.
- And send back Tompkins.Copy !req
383. - She's coordinating the choppers.
- Yeah.Copy !req
384. The United States has weathered
many great challenges in the pastCopy !req
385. and has always come through stronger.Copy !req
386. This will be no exception.Copy !req
387. When the dust clears from this tragic day,Copy !req
388. we will go forward, as Americans,Copy !req
389. as a beacon of strength
in a sometimes dark world.Copy !req
390. Thank you, and God bless you all.Copy !req
391. Cut.Copy !req
392. Get this shit off of me.Copy !req
393. Alright, clear the room! Move it!Copy !req
394. Sir, we have confirmationCopy !req
395. of multiple interceptor clusters
laddering downCopy !req
396. across the Russo-Chinese border.Copy !req
397. Guys, I was an English Lit major.Copy !req
398. Russia and China exchanged fire,Copy !req
399. both air and ground
across multiple fronts.Copy !req
400. Intelligence also indicates both sides
are prepping nuclear action.Copy !req
401. This is not unexpected.Copy !req
402. As briefed, governments will begin
securing resources for what comes next.Copy !req
403. Okay.Copy !req
404. Tide rises, the tide falls.Copy !req
405. Yes, sir.
There have also been explosionsCopy !req
406. at two air bases in Denmark,Copy !req
407. seemingly from inbound
conventional missiles.Copy !req
408. - From who?
- We don't know.Copy !req
409. But Denmark being NATO,
if they invoke Article 5...Copy !req
410. We recommend
moving to DEFCON 2, sir.Copy !req
411. And maybe speed up evac to Andrews.Copy !req
412. They've been
expecting seismic activity down thereCopy !req
413. for well over two years.Copy !req
414. Thanks to our continued carbon emission.Copy !req
415. Oh, so now volcanoes are man-made too?Copy !req
416. Rising global temperatures
lessened ice mass over the Antarctic.Copy !req
417. We know from history,Copy !req
418. our actions allowed the cork to pop.Copy !req
419. So, yes, I would say
we played a fucking role.Copy !req
420. Alright, we can—
we can keep it clean.Copy !req
421. We don't need that kinda language.Copy !req
422. Oh, we don't need
that kinda language, Bob?Copy !req
423. - ... I'll wait for a real disasterCopy !req
424. to say "fuck," or "shit," or "tits."Copy !req
425. - You know, Mr. Markley...Copy !req
426. your oil company checks
will be meaningless—Copy !req
427. - Teri.
- Thank God, I've been trying.Copy !req
428. - Where are you?
- Outside the airport.Copy !req
429. - A bunch of us are walking.
- Listen to me, listen.Copy !req
430. Um, you need to get
to Dobbins Air Reserve Base.Copy !req
431. - Okay, but I don't have—
- Just listen to me. Listen to me.Copy !req
432. I sent you the map.
You take Route 6 till it meets Route 5,Copy !req
433. and take that to Marietta, right?
No freeways.Copy !req
434. They'll have your name at the gate,
and they'll fly you here.Copy !req
435. You have just over an hour.
It should be enough time.Copy !req
436. Repeat it back to me.Copy !req
437. Route 6 to Route 5 to Marietta.
But— but Xavier—Copy !req
438. No, but no freeways.Copy !req
439. - I don't have a car.
- Steal one.Copy !req
440. - Xavier, how am I...Copy !req
441. - Ter—
- ... bring you some breaking newsCopy !req
442. - in Los Angeles, a record...Copy !req
443. and catastrophic
magnitude 8.9 earthquakeCopy !req
444. has hit the sprawling metropolis.Copy !req
445. We are seeing some images
of destruction from the ground.Copy !req
446. I'm being told the I-10 freeway
has collapsed...Copy !req
447. What the fuck is going on?
It's like the world's coming apart.Copy !req
448. - Back to the door.
- ... ordered to evacuateCopy !req
449. just hours ago, are now stranded.Copy !req
450. Back to Garcia, thanks.Copy !req
451. We'll— we'll try to provide updatesCopy !req
452. - as this story develops.
- I need your help.Copy !req
453. Dr. Louge, this is an unprecedented...Copy !req
454. Please.
I know the president is helping you,Copy !req
455. and I don't care about myself.Copy !req
456. I need you to save Edward.Copy !req
457. My sister is dropping him off
with his meds.Copy !req
458. - Get him to safety.
- Is there more to come?Copy !req
459. - The real issue...
- Promise me.Copy !req
460. millions of tons of volcanic ash,Copy !req
461. still bursting into our stratosphere,
which will encircle the globe...Copy !req
462. It's gonna be okay.Copy !req
463. Now, that means no crops...
- Thank you.Copy !req
464. no food,Copy !req
465. never-ending winter.Copy !req
466. - What happens then?
- I don't know.Copy !req
467. Why don't you ask a fucking dinosaur?Copy !req
468. Are we on, Bob? Is— is it just me here?Copy !req
469. No, we're on. We're gonna remain on,Copy !req
470. as the decision really has been made
by the, the brave women and menCopy !req
471. in this newsroom to continue
our broadcast for as long as we can.Copy !req
472. Clear a path.Copy !req
473. Dr. Louge, you have
been researching this...Copy !req
474. - Agent Xavier Collins?
- Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
475. Special Agent Robinson, in charge of evac.Copy !req
476. I'm Agent Ryan Noble. I'm new.Copy !req
477. Agent Collins, after you've escorted
the president to PEOC,Copy !req
478. the others will come down in shifts.
You'll await my ordersCopy !req
479. - to move to Marine One, understood?Copy !req
480. - Agent Collins, am I boring you?
- No, ma'am.Copy !req
481. Escort Wildcat to PEOC,
shifts, await orders. Understood.Copy !req
482. Uh, and what about me?Copy !req
483. - You'll stay here guarding the door.
- Mr. President.Copy !req
484. This way.Copy !req
485. Wait.Copy !req
486. - Give me a second.
- Sir.Copy !req
487. Sir, we need to move, now.Copy !req
488. Ryan, Rainey, perimeter.Copy !req
489. Get him.Copy !req
490. - Mr. President, I need to get you to PEOC.
- Excuse me.Copy !req
491. It's Jeffrey, right?Copy !req
492. Mr. President, you know my name?Copy !req
493. Everyone knows your name.
You've been here for nine administrations.Copy !req
494. Can I ask what you're doing?Copy !req
495. Making my rounds as best I can.Copy !req
496. People been leaving kind of a mess today.Copy !req
497. I guess they're all distracted.Copy !req
498. And you're not?Copy !req
499. It looks bad,
but when you get to be my age...Copy !req
500. you kind of seen it all before.Copy !req
501. Been here for 9/11, war, pandemics.Copy !req
502. - Things always go back to normal.
- Mr. President, I must insist.Copy !req
503. I think you should call your family.Copy !req
504. It's different this time.Copy !req
505. With all respect, sir,
I've heard that before.Copy !req
506. I'm seeing them
for my granddaughter's birthday tomorrow.Copy !req
507. I'll talk to 'em then.Copy !req
508. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
509. This is not right.Copy !req
510. This isn't right.
We gotta go back to the Oval.Copy !req
511. - That is not the plan.
- I don't give a shit about the plan.Copy !req
512. I want you to put me
on TV right now, live.Copy !req
513. What?Copy !req
514. Non-essentials, stay here!Copy !req
515. - Ryan, Rainey!
- Goddamn it!Copy !req
516. Agent Janusz, you, hold your positions.Copy !req
517. What do you plan to say, sir?Copy !req
518. I'm gonna be honest with them.Copy !req
519. Pre-recorded speech was horseshit,
and we are not airing it!Copy !req
520. You understand me?Copy !req
521. People deserve to know
what's really happening.Copy !req
522. They need a chance to say goodbye.Copy !req
523. Quick, we gotta go!Copy !req
524. Is the equipment still up?Copy !req
525. Yes, but please don't do this, sir.Copy !req
526. We need to— we need to stick to the plan.Copy !req
527. We need to keep the calm.
Listen, sir. Cal!Copy !req
528. Get your fucking hands off me
and put me on TV right now.Copy !req
529. Shit! Erica, alert the networks.Copy !req
530. Mr. President, you do not leave that room
until I get back, is that understood?Copy !req
531. Sir, make sure all interior side doors
to the Oval are locked.Copy !req
532. Ryan.Copy !req
533. - Weapons ready, you're cleared hot.
- Sir?Copy !req
534. Things might escalate.Copy !req
535. Stay calm. I'll be right back.Copy !req
536. He's going live now.Copy !req
537. - All of them. All of them.
- Rainey!Copy !req
538. - You Versailles?
- I am.Copy !req
539. - Assume you are too?
- Affirmative.Copy !req
540. Come on, baby, pick up.Copy !req
541. Hi, this is Dr. Teri Rogers—Copy !req
542. We got about five minutes
before the president starts talking.Copy !req
543. You think this is
gonna turn into a frenzy?Copy !req
544. It's already been a frenzy.
It's about to become a fucking riot.Copy !req
545. No, no, please. I don't need any of that.Copy !req
546. Or lighting, or equipment.Copy !req
547. Just put me on air as quick as you can.Copy !req
548. And a cup of coffee, please.Copy !req
549. Sure could use a cup of coffee.Copy !req
550. Roger that. He's clear to enter.Copy !req
551. - Back to you in two.
- Commander Hunter is Versailles too.Copy !req
552. - Who?
- Guy with the football.Copy !req
553. - What about Garcia?
- No idea.Copy !req
554. Let's get moving.Copy !req
555. It has been an honor
serving you, Mr. President.Copy !req
556. The honor is mine, John.Copy !req
557. Best fucking hamburgers I've ever had.Copy !req
558. Okay, we're 30 seconds out.Copy !req
559. We are less than a minute
from the president addressing the nation.Copy !req
560. - We were alerted earlier...
- Excuse me.Copy !req
561. - About 40 minutes from now...
- Is that for me?Copy !req
562. No one gets in.Copy !req
563. Meanwhile,
sources are reporting that Marine OneCopy !req
564. and other helicopters are hovering
above the South Lawn...Copy !req
565. F22 Raptors are circling
the air space above the Capitol.Copy !req
566. And we're live in three...Copy !req
567. My fellow Americans...Copy !req
568. I know you're aware
of the situation we now face.Copy !req
569. And I wanna tell you the truth.Copy !req
570. Our modeling...Copy !req
571. shows imminent worldwide disaster,
including here at home.Copy !req
572. I'm telling you this
so that you can make decisionsCopy !req
573. based on where you want to be right now...Copy !req
574. and who you want to be with.Copy !req
575. This position that I have held...Copy !req
576. I didn't always want it.Copy !req
577. Most certainly didn't always like it.Copy !req
578. But it has...Copy !req
579. It's provided me access
to people all over this country.Copy !req
580. And one thing has constantly
struck me as true.Copy !req
581. That despite all
the ugliness in our world...Copy !req
582. despite our tendency to focus
on the grotesque,Copy !req
583. and the conflict.Copy !req
584. Despite all of that...Copy !req
585. you...Copy !req
586. you...Copy !req
587. are inherently decent.Copy !req
588. You love your families,
your parents, your children.Copy !req
589. Let's go. This way!Copy !req
590. And I hope we can find that decency
and that love now.Copy !req
591. And if I may be so bold.Copy !req
592. To all of you watching,Copy !req
593. who have meant something
to me personally...Copy !req
594. too many to name...Copy !req
595. I just want to say I love you.Copy !req
596. And, uh...Copy !req
597. God bless you and good luck.Copy !req
598. We're out.Copy !req
599. Move it!Copy !req
600. Here we go.Copy !req
601. On me.Copy !req
602. Now, what hope does
humanity have to survive?Copy !req
603. - Excuse us.
- Wait a minute.Copy !req
604. I'm sorry, everyone.Copy !req
605. Mr. President,
my sister is here with Edward.Copy !req
606. They're at the gate,
so I'm gonna go get him.Copy !req
607. - Marsha.
- We have to do better.Copy !req
608. I've been with you since the beginning.Copy !req
609. You told me everything was gonna be okay.Copy !req
610. I wish I could say something
that would make this better, but I can't.Copy !req
611. I can't offer you safety.
You can stay here if you want,Copy !req
612. but the truth is it's not gonna help.Copy !req
613. Nothing is. Go home.Copy !req
614. - And where are you going?
- Hey, hey, back off.Copy !req
615. - How long did you know?
- People, this is the cold reality.Copy !req
616. We need to ask for those willing
to keep the White House secureCopy !req
617. until we can all get out.Copy !req
618. Continue to evacuate everyone,Copy !req
619. but right now, your duty
is to keep the president safe.Copy !req
620. - Where are you?
- What about us, Todd?Copy !req
621. Huh? What about all of us?Copy !req
622. - Back off!
- Calm down.Copy !req
623. I need you to calm down, okay?
Let's move him now!Copy !req
624. - Come on. Come on.
- Okay? Hey.Copy !req
625. Let's go. Down the hall! Come on!Copy !req
626. You promised me.Copy !req
627. Marsha...Copy !req
628. The blood of my baby
is gonna be on your hands.Copy !req
629. I couldn't do anything about it,
Marsha, understand that.Copy !req
630. - You promised me.
- I'm really sorry.Copy !req
631. Hey. Hey. Don't!Copy !req
632. Don't.Copy !req
633. Don't.Copy !req
634. Move.Copy !req
635. Come on, come on.Copy !req
636. Shit.Copy !req
637. Forget the groups. Load in Wildcat.Copy !req
638. Inside. Come on. Come on.Copy !req
639. Go to the next one.Copy !req
640. - Cover them.
- Alright, let's go.Copy !req
641. Stay where you are!Copy !req
642. Don't make me shoot.Copy !req
643. - Thanks, Cal, I enjoyed that.
- Fuck you.Copy !req
644. - It was the right thing to do.
- We're not out of this yet.Copy !req
645. Marine One took hits, then peeled off.Copy !req
646. - Hits from who?
- Don't know, sir.Copy !req
647. People are surging onto the South Lawn.Copy !req
648. There's a CAT Team waiting.Copy !req
649. You will load into the first gunship,
then take off immediately.Copy !req
650. I'll go back up for the others.
Do not wait for us.Copy !req
651. Move!Copy !req
652. Prepare for live fire. Go!Copy !req
653. Ryan, hold this.Copy !req
654. Mr. President, put this on.Copy !req
655. Okay.Copy !req
656. Hold.Copy !req
657. Ready?Copy !req
658. - Yeah.
- Open the door.Copy !req
659. Move!Copy !req
660. Keep them back!Copy !req
661. Go! Go!Copy !req
662. - The football!
- Shit.Copy !req
663. Here you go.Copy !req
664. has been secured.
You're cleared for takeoff.Copy !req
665. Whoa!Copy !req
666. - No.
- No, no, no, there's room.Copy !req
667. Your orders are to stay here.Copy !req
668. No, I'm going where you're going.Copy !req
669. You can't.Copy !req
670. I'm going where you're going!Copy !req
671. Ryan.Copy !req
672. What the fuck? He wasn't gonna shoot me!Copy !req
673. Do your fucking job, Agent!Copy !req
674. Go! Go! Let the other choppers land!Copy !req
675. Up! Up! Hoist up that chopper, let's go!Copy !req
676. Freebird One, say again,
Congress, Justices, Freebird Two,Copy !req
677. Cabinet, Joint Chiefs,
others, Freebird One.Copy !req
678. Let's go! Let's go!Copy !req
679. Move! Let's go!Copy !req
680. Agent Collins!Copy !req
681. Xavier!Copy !req
682. I have to get her somehow.Copy !req
683. Come on, man, your kids are on board.
Let's go.Copy !req
684. She's alone.Copy !req
685. I don't know where she is.
I don't know who she's with.Copy !req
686. It's an impossible situation.Copy !req
687. I'm sorry.Copy !req
688. I can't get on that plane without her.Copy !req
689. Xavier, look at me.Copy !req
690. Your kids need you. I need you.Copy !req
691. Let's go.Copy !req
692. When did you know
she wasn't gonna make it?Copy !req
693. When you told me she was still in Atlanta.Copy !req
694. She was there because
she didn't know what was coming.Copy !req
695. - Why didn't you tell me what was coming?
- I tried.Copy !req
696. - No. You hinted!
- I did, I tried.Copy !req
697. Right? You danced around.
There was no urgency.Copy !req
698. We didn't know how fast
it was gonna escalate.Copy !req
699. - Right, but I see your family is here.
- No.Copy !req
700. Careful.Copy !req
701. I would have kept her close!Copy !req
702. I would have prepared.
People would have prepared.Copy !req
703. But instead, you played this game.Copy !req
704. - I did my best.
- Your best?Copy !req
705. - Yes, in an impossible situation.
- Oh, you think you're braveCopy !req
706. because you told everybody that the worldCopy !req
707. - was ending 10 minutes ago.
- There were no easy options, Xavier.Copy !req
708. - Listen to me.
- You should have told us allCopy !req
709. - 10 years ago.
- The world is falling apart!Copy !req
710. - Look at what's happening.
- This is not my fault.Copy !req
711. Look at what you let happen!Copy !req
712. That's enough!Copy !req
713. If you don't want a seat on that plane,
there's roughly eight billion peopleCopy !req
714. on this planet who will fucking take it.Copy !req
715. Your wife is gone, and I'm sorry,Copy !req
716. but you need to process that.Copy !req
717. And go be with your children,
because they just lost their mother.Copy !req
718. Sir.Copy !req
719. Sir, we have to go.Copy !req
720. - Are you coming or not?
- I don't know what to do.Copy !req
721. Yeah, you do.Copy !req
722. Each of you have been
given a packet of informationCopy !req
723. and a wrist device
that is paired specifically to you.Copy !req
724. We'll be taking off
for Colorado momentarily.Copy !req
725. Hey.Copy !req
726. - Daddy.
- Daddy.Copy !req
727. I thought you didn't make it.Copy !req
728. No, no, I'm here.Copy !req
729. - Stand up.
- Where's Mommy?Copy !req
730. Is she okay?Copy !req
731. Where's Mommy? Where's Mom?Copy !req
732. Ladies and gentlemen,
brace yourselves.Copy !req
733. We're about to encounter
the high-pressure sound waves.Copy !req
734. Alright, man, go get in the seat.
Put on your seatbelt.Copy !req
735. Oh, my God.Copy !req
736. Hold on, stay right here. Hold on.Copy !req
737. Daddy, I'm scared.Copy !req
738. Oh, my God.Copy !req
739. Dad, what's going on?Copy !req
740. It's okay.Copy !req
741. Okay.Copy !req
742. - We gonna make it?
- I got you.Copy !req
743. - What was that?
- What's happening?Copy !req
744. One of the planes went down.Copy !req
745. I'm sorry.Copy !req
746. I've been told this...Copy !req
747. might break through to a cellphone.Copy !req
748. You can use the liaison office.Copy !req
749. Sir, you're needed upstairs.
It's the Joint Chiefs.Copy !req
750. Mr. President, Freebird Two
went down with the pressure wave.Copy !req
751. That's the Justices, Congress, Todd.Copy !req
752. General, what do you have?Copy !req
753. Sir, as predicted,
several nuclear devicesCopy !req
754. have just launched,
one headed towards India,Copy !req
755. and another targeting what we believe
will be Denver, Colorado.Copy !req
756. Are they aiming for us?Copy !req
757. - We don't know.
- You don't know?Copy !req
758. Our intelligence networks
are breaking down, sir.Copy !req
759. All we know is it's headed your way.Copy !req
760. There have also been
two nuclear detonationsCopy !req
761. around the Mongolian border.
It's starting, sir.Copy !req
762. That's why it's the consensus
of the Joint ChiefsCopy !req
763. that we fire our arsenal.Copy !req
764. Christ, at who?Copy !req
765. All nuclear powers, full-scale attack.Copy !req
766. We must prevent any attack
on the bunker location at all costs.Copy !req
767. It's our only chance for survival.Copy !req
768. For those of us on this call.Copy !req
769. What about everyone else out there?Copy !req
770. Sir, we're not saying this
to spare ourselves.Copy !req
771. Our plane isn't going
to make it to the bunker.Copy !req
772. We took severe damage
from the pressure wave.Copy !req
773. We're putting down outside St. Louis.Copy !req
774. Mr. President,
we do not come to this lightly.Copy !req
775. That eruption is going to destroy
supply chains and crop production.Copy !req
776. Every nation on the planet
with a military understands this.Copy !req
777. And they will act to protect themselves
against possible incursions,Copy !req
778. knowing that we will do the same.Copy !req
779. Mr. President, you must launch.Copy !req
780. Once the ash cloud covers our skies,
we cannot guarantee launch capabilities.Copy !req
781. Enter the code, sir, and we are a go.Copy !req
782. Understood.Copy !req
783. Good luck, gentlemen.
I'm taking a second in my office.Copy !req
784. When the team ran our scenario
through thousands of models,Copy !req
785. it always told us the same thing.Copy !req
786. Yeah, what was that?Copy !req
787. The eruption of the
Antarctic super volcanoCopy !req
788. would lead to nuclear war.Copy !req
789. Lovely.Copy !req
790. You know, when I became president,Copy !req
791. the first thing I asked about,
hand to God, was the secrets.Copy !req
792. Aliens, who killed JFK, Bigfoot—
and there was nothing.Copy !req
793. I mean, little things, but really nothing.Copy !req
794. I was so disappointed. But then...Copy !req
795. I was briefed on this little guy.Copy !req
796. The nuclear football.Copy !req
797. The device that allows
the commander-in-chiefCopy !req
798. to unilaterally launch
America's entire nuclear arsenal.Copy !req
799. No two-person system.Copy !req
800. Just me and the red codes.Copy !req
801. I enter this, and we are off to the races.Copy !req
802. But basically everybody
knows about the football.Copy !req
803. What nobody, except the president knows,
is what else it can do...Copy !req
804. if I enter the blue code.Copy !req
805. Turns out, after the Cuban Missile Crisis,
some colonel had an ideaCopy !req
806. to create a switch, an ultimate fail-safe.Copy !req
807. A linked array of global EMPs...Copy !req
808. in satellites, submarines,
missiles, you name it...Copy !req
809. that would fry every
electronic circuit on Earth.Copy !req
810. Microwaves, computers.Copy !req
811. Even its own satellites.Copy !req
812. But it would also disable the nukes,Copy !req
813. maybe even in midair.Copy !req
814. It's a switch that would
shut off the world.Copy !req
815. Unfortunately, it would also
take the planet back 500 years.Copy !req
816. But that was better
than the alternative...Copy !req
817. because it would give people a chance.Copy !req
818. You can't be considering this.Copy !req
819. - Flight deck.
- How long till we land?Copy !req
820. - Twenty minutes, Mr. President.
- Thank you.Copy !req
821. Well, that should be
more than enough time.Copy !req
822. It takes a while to shut down
the whole world.Copy !req
823. With any luck,
we'll be in the mountain by then.Copy !req
824. All those people will die anyway.Copy !req
825. It's more humane to let it happen
in a bright flashCopy !req
826. than to let them all starve
over the course of a year.Copy !req
827. They need a chance.Copy !req
828. We need a chance.Copy !req
829. The bunker relies on outside sensors
for communication,Copy !req
830. for the safety of the city,
so that we know when it's safe out there.Copy !req
831. We will be blind. We will be vulnerable.Copy !req
832. Samantha, I ain't launching the missiles.Copy !req
833. But I am gonna do this.Copy !req
834. Stop. Stop, stop! Please.Copy !req
835. We are humanity's last hope.Copy !req
836. Well, maybe the thing won't work.Copy !req
837. That'll be all.Copy !req
838. Agent Rainey.Copy !req
839. If she doesn't move, shoot her.Copy !req
840. - Hello?
- Teri, it's me.Copy !req
841. - Oh, my God. Where are you?Copy !req
842. Where are you?Copy !req
843. Couldn't make it. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
844. I tried, baby, I— I even stole a car.Copy !req
845. It's okay.Copy !req
846. The kids, are they safe?Copy !req
847. They're safe. We're safe.
Uh, they're taking us somewhere safe.Copy !req
848. - Where?
- Um...Copy !req
849. Colorado.Copy !req
850. Somewhere— somewhere in Colorado.Copy !req
851. Baby, listen to me,
this might cut out.Copy !req
852. - Hm?
- Tell them it's okay to be happy, okay?Copy !req
853. That Mommy loves them,
whether I'm there or not.Copy !req
854. I will, baby. I will.Copy !req
855. Are you still there? Xavier?Copy !req
856. Hey, I'm here. I'm here.Copy !req
857. Xavier.Copy !req
858. - Xavier, can you hear me?Copy !req
859. - Yeah, baby.
- I'm scared, baby.Copy !req
860. No. No, no, no, I'm with you.Copy !req
861. Yeah. You feel me?
I'm— I'm holding you right now.Copy !req
862. I'm protecting you, baby.Copy !req
863. - I got you.
- Okay. Okay.Copy !req
864. I got you.Copy !req
865. Teri, can you hear me?Copy !req
866. - I loved every minute.
- Hey, Ter?Copy !req
867. - Promise me something.
- I love you, baby.Copy !req
868. - I love you too.
- I love you more than anythingCopy !req
869. on this planet, I love you so much, Teri.
I love you.Copy !req
870. - Me too, baby.
- I love you.Copy !req
871. Be a good father. Be a good father.Copy !req
872. Be a good father to them.Copy !req
873. I guess it worked.Copy !req
874. Nuclear holocaust
was at least partially avoided.Copy !req
875. And no missiles hit Atlanta.Copy !req
876. You can't know that for sure.Copy !req
877. People are rebuilding,
finding ways to communicate.Copy !req
878. for a secondary route
to Denver, Colorado.Copy !req
879. large area outside of Atlanta.Copy !req
880. I'm looking for
my husband, Xavier Collins.Copy !req
881. My children, Presley and James.Copy !req
882. They were heading
for a complex in Colorado.Copy !req
883. Once again, my name
is Teri Rogers-Collins.Copy !req
884. I'm here with other survivors
searching for our loved ones.Copy !req
885. If you know the whereabouts
of Xavier Collins,Copy !req
886. tell him I love him.Copy !req
887. Where is she? How do I find her?Copy !req
888. Let me just make one quick call,Copy !req
889. then you can shoot me
to your heart's content.Copy !req
890. Tavern.Copy !req
891. You might want to
check on your daughter.Copy !req
892. Hey, Mark.Copy !req
893. It's Xavier. Put Presley on the line.Copy !req
894. She's not here.Copy !req
895. What'd you say?Copy !req
896. She's not here, man.
I don't know what happened.Copy !req
897. I just checked the back room
and she's just gone.Copy !req
898. The DNA from Cal's murder...Copy !req
899. didn't match anyone in the bunker.Copy !req
900. It appears our killer
came from the outside.Copy !req
901. What did you do to my daughter?Copy !req
902. You will release my people.Copy !req
903. You will return my arsenal of weapons,Copy !req
904. and you will find out
who murdered the president,Copy !req
905. and you will return this place
to fucking normalCopy !req
906. if you ever wanna see
your daughter or your wife again.Copy !req
907. Maybe I am a monster.Copy !req
