00:00:00Oh, my God.
00:00:07Hey, are you okay?
00:00:16The key.
00:00:21You hit a guardrail.
00:00:28You need a doctor.
00:00:29You're bleeding.
00:00:30Here, get in my car.
00:00:31It's running and it's warm.
00:00:32We'll call for help.
00:00:33Come on.
00:00:34Come on.
00:00:35What's that?

00:02:48Ah!
00:02:49I've just been in contact with the VA about organizing Sven's funeral service, and...
00:02:56they recovered his body.
00:02:58Oh, my God.
00:02:59So I thought we could all chip in, along with his benefits, for his memorial.
00:03:05Of course.
00:03:06I'm taking care of all of it.
00:03:08Yeah, you don't owe him that.
00:03:09He's part of the team.
00:03:11I owe him everything.
00:03:12Thank you, Griffin.
00:03:14Where are they arguing about now?
00:03:16Looks like they're actually getting along.
00:03:19It's kind of freaking me out.
00:03:21Give it time.
00:03:22It's only 9.30.
00:03:24Did you know Clay wants to start seeing a therapist now?
00:03:29Really?
00:03:30That's excellent.
00:03:31Yeah, but we're going to have to work together on this as a team.
00:03:36Dad!
00:03:37Clay.
00:03:38That was between us!
00:03:41Clay, sweetheart, please come back!
00:03:43I got this.
00:03:44Honey!
00:03:45I got it.
00:03:48Clay!
00:03:49That was between us!
00:03:50How could you tell them?
00:03:51Because I know how important it is to address this stuff.
00:03:55And because I know how easy it is to avoid it.
00:03:57I avoided it, so did Sven!
00:03:59No, you don't get it.
00:04:00You don't get it.
00:04:01I'm not like you.
00:04:02I know exactly what this is like!
00:04:04No, you don't!
00:04:05I do!
00:04:06That's why I know how easy it is not to do anything.
00:04:10Mom and Chrissy don't have to know that I've damaged goods.
00:04:14Yes, I am!
00:04:15Yes, I am!
00:04:16I'm just going to end up disappointing everybody!
00:04:19Hey, look at me.
00:04:22You could never disappoint me.
00:04:25Never.
00:04:27I'm so proud of you.
00:04:30Come here.
00:04:31I am so proud of you.
00:04:34We're going to walk through this together.
00:04:36You, me, and your mom.
00:04:38Alright?
00:04:39We're going to walk through this together.
00:04:44Oh, buddy.
00:04:52Come on, let's get out of here.
00:05:00So this is how a millionaire lives.
00:05:02She didn't even have a rocket.
00:05:08Yeah, it's a nice rocket.
00:05:14Well, looks as good as new.
00:05:16Thank God for redundancy.
00:05:18Even added some new pieces that weren't there before.
00:05:21Well, I might have asked for an upgrade or two.
00:05:24For starters, everything's locked down.
00:05:35What was that?
00:05:39The storm was over 75 miles away an hour ago.
00:05:41Well, it sounds like it's here now.
00:05:43It's hailing on us out there way too much.
00:05:48Get away from the windows. Come here.
00:05:52What the hell?
00:05:53I've never seen hail that big.
00:06:04I think it stopped.
00:06:12Guys, everything is freezing.
00:06:14We have to get to the command center.
00:06:19Hurry.
00:06:25Okay, the hail storm didn't last long,
00:06:27but the precipitation is already increasing its highs.
00:06:30Kristen, can you get me a knife, please?
00:06:32Yeah, yeah.
00:06:33What are you doing?
00:06:34Alright, check this out.
00:06:42You see the rings?
00:06:44This tells us a lot about the hailstone and the storm itself.
00:06:50Like, uh, like rings in a tree.
00:06:53Exactly.
00:06:54A hailstone is made when an ice particle,
00:06:56it gets caught in an updraft of a storm.
00:06:58What it does is it just freezes over and over.
00:07:00But when the hailstone falls, it can get swept back up
00:07:03in the updraft, and it just freezes constantly again over.
00:07:07And that just makes it get bigger and bigger.
00:07:09Until finally, it just, it hits the ground,
00:07:11and the rings tell us how many times it's cycled through the storm.
00:07:14And the air temperatures, it just changes each time.
00:07:17Well, I mean, can they get bigger than this one?
00:07:19Yep.
00:07:20Air temperatures increases, the temperatures drop,
00:07:22a hailstone cycles through and through,
00:07:24and it just, it gets bigger as a result.
00:07:26Dual polar radar echoes show large amounts of energy here.
00:07:29Bad news, guys.
00:07:31So, we have more hail coming in.
00:07:34So, we have more hail coming in.
00:07:37Those stronger wind echoes are really wide.
00:07:41David, would you calculate the estimated hailstone sizes of the storm?
00:07:45Six to eight inch hailstones, Jesus.
00:07:50NOA is probably onto this by now,
00:07:52and the National Weather Service is probably acting on the same info we have.
00:07:56And Weather Service has planes equipped for hail suppression,
00:08:01but there are more fast-moving storms coming,
00:08:03and they're not going to be taking off considering their size and speed.
00:08:06I mean, the FAA is likely grounding and diverting flights by now.
00:08:10Regional short-term weather models forecast predict marked lower temperatures.
00:08:16The mapping system is showing a downward trend for the next three days.
00:08:21So, it's only going to get colder.
00:08:23With more wind and freezing fog.
00:08:25The storm is moving fast.
00:08:27Hail storms are going to get longer,
00:08:29dropping stones the size of bowling balls unless we move fast.
00:08:32So, we suppress the hail.
00:08:34Use cloud-seating rockets filled with silver iodide.
00:08:37Silver iodide?
00:08:39What's silver iodide going to do?
00:08:41It's going to attract water at lower altitudes within the storm,
00:08:44where it's warmer.
00:08:46This way, the hailstones don't throw to the size predicted in these forecasts.
00:08:51If we don't do that, then their casualties will be in the thousands,
00:08:55and damage is going to be in the billions.
00:08:59The size of actual bowling balls?
00:09:02All right, so, cloud-seating, silver iodide going up.
00:09:08How are we doing that?
00:09:09Okay, well, what the rockets do is they release the silver iodide
00:09:13at a specific maximum altitude.
00:09:15And do we have that?
00:09:17Yeah, we have your rockets.
00:09:19We just need to fill them with silver iodide.
00:09:21And you have that much silver iodide just lying around?
00:09:24Yeah, of course.
00:09:25One of these compounds is my science lab.
00:09:28All right, so you load them up and launch the rockets,
00:09:32and the storm just disappears.
00:09:35Are we going to use your rocket?
00:09:37No, that rocket is a prototype, and we ran some tests.
00:09:40It won't send you to the moon, which, of course, was the goal.
00:09:44And that type of rocket won't work.
00:09:46I want you to think more like small missiles.
00:09:48I'll go get them ready.
00:09:50Are we going to launch the rockets here?
00:09:52Yes. Yolanda will launch them, but we're going to have to plant these devices.
00:09:56What do they do?
00:09:57They're going to tell the rockets where to go.
00:09:59Where do we plant them?
00:10:01We? You're not going anywhere.
00:10:03I'm going.
00:10:05Mapping software is tracking the storm right now.
00:10:08It'll tell us the best place to plant the tuning forks.
00:10:11You're staying here.
00:10:12Can you tell them I'm going?
00:10:14Listen, this is a two-person job, and we're going in three different directions.
00:10:18Yolanda needs to stay here. The kids have to go.
00:10:21We can plant two of them ourselves.
00:10:23No, cloud seeding will only work in the early stages of the storm.
00:10:26If we wait any longer and the storm gets bigger, this will not work.
00:10:31Well...
00:10:36You are going to need these.
00:10:46Let's go, guys.
00:10:49Come on.
00:10:51All right, so here's what we're up against.
00:10:53Snow. I want you to be on the lookout for whiteouts, black ice, and hailstones
00:10:59the size of bowling balls that are going to be falling from the sky at 95 miles per hour.
00:11:04Molly, mapping software's giving us some coordinates.
00:11:08Planting spots are going to be in three separate locations.
00:11:10Mount Olive, Myrtle Beach, and Fairmount.
00:11:13Those are all 75 avian miles from here.
00:11:15All right, then we're going to have to move fast.
00:11:17Teams of two.
00:11:18Chrissy and I will take one.
00:11:21I'll watch him.
00:11:24David and I are going to T-bump so that we can keep an eye on the storm.
00:11:27I'll drive.
00:11:28Would you two just take turns?
00:11:30Here's the tricky part. You must plant the forks at the same time for maximum results.
00:11:35But what if we lose communication?
00:11:37Right. So everyone sink to 10-18.
00:11:41It'll take you approximately two hours in this storm to get to the destination.
00:11:45Another hour to find the spot to plant.
00:11:47So in exactly three hours, or 13-18, you launch.
00:11:51Unless you hear from all three.
00:11:53If not, you launch without guidance.
00:11:55Got it.
00:11:57These will tell you everything you need to know about where you're going
00:12:00and planting the fork and arming for triangulation.
00:12:06Good luck, everyone.
00:12:07Stay focused and stay safe.
00:12:16I, Natasha Nakami, solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States
00:12:24from all enemies, foreign and domestic,
00:12:27that I bear true faith and allegiance to the same,
00:12:31that I take this obligation freely,
00:12:34and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.
00:12:40So help me God.
00:12:41Congratulations, Deputy Regional Administrator.
00:12:44Welcome to Region 4.
00:12:45Thank you.
00:12:47Now that the formalities are out of the way,
00:12:50brief me on the current action plans.
00:12:53Excuse me, before you get into that,
00:12:55I'd like to steal Ms. Nakami for a moment, so if you don't mind.
00:13:07Can I be blunt, Ms. Nakami?
00:13:09Can I be blunt, Ms. Nakami?
00:13:11Of course.
00:13:13I understand that you have some sort of special relationship with the REACT team led by Griffin Richards.
00:13:17Is that, is that right?
00:13:20I know of them.
00:13:22Well, then you understand that they don't have America's best interest in mind.
00:13:28They are reckless.
00:13:31No question. And they can't be trusted.
00:13:34The thought of Griffin Richards illegally drilling inside Hawaiian volcanoes makes me sick to my stomach.
00:13:42But sir, you exonerated them.
00:13:44No. No!
00:13:46I protected America, do you understand?
00:13:49Do you think we needed some other protracted lawsuit?
00:13:52No, we got rid of him as CEO, and that was the most important thing.
00:13:56No, I, I need you as my eyes and ears, do you understand?
00:14:02You hear anything, you see anything, you call me.
00:14:06That's my personal cell phone number.
00:14:09Yes, sir.
00:14:12By the way, congratulations on the new promotion.
00:14:17Thank you.
00:14:27The site is a hospital. The Strand Memorial Medical Center in Myrtle Beach.
00:14:34Okay, then we need to let them know that we're on our way there. If you could call Yolanda, please.
00:14:40Yolanda, come in.
00:14:42Go ahead, David.
00:14:44Molly and I are about 50 miles out from Myrtle Beach.
00:14:47Contact Strand Memorial. We don't want to be held up anywhere with security.
00:14:50Copy that. I'll let them know that you're on your way and why.
00:14:53Great.
00:14:54Thank you. Over.
00:15:03Hey, do you think you were a little hard on Dad this morning?
00:15:07After what he did?
00:15:09Telling Mom something I told him in confidence?
00:15:13About seeing a therapist?
00:15:15Clay, when all of this is over, I think I'm going to need to talk to somebody.
00:15:19Look, I don't need everybody thinking that I'm a mess.
00:15:21Dude, we're all a mess, okay?
00:15:25None of this is normal.
00:15:28We are literally driving in the snow to some destination called Mount Olive
00:15:33to plant tuning forks to launch rockets into a winter storm.
00:15:40And now we're stuck in traffic.
00:15:44Hudson Park. I remember playing Little League there when I was 12.
00:15:48You know this area? Oh, you grew up here, right?
00:15:51I did. I'm actually from Wilmington, but I haven't been to Fairmont since I was a kid.
00:15:57Have you ever installed one of these things?
00:15:59The forks?
00:16:00Yeah.
00:16:01Oh, mate, no. I've never even seen one of them before.
00:16:04Trust Molly to know all about it, though. She's always been a gearhead for that type of stuff.
00:16:09Tell me, how'd you two meet?
00:16:12Let's just focus on the mission for now, okay?
00:16:14Oh, come on, come on.
00:16:15Did you ask her out, or did she ask you?
00:16:18She seems like the kind of person to take the initiative.
00:16:21Mate, do you know how to install one of these forks?
00:16:23No, I do not.
00:16:24Right.
00:16:25We have just over an hour to learn how,
00:16:30and then we've got to get the thing up and operational in the next 22 minutes after that.
00:16:35This sounds like a baseball hitting the gun.
00:16:39It's because they are. Look at the size of these things.
00:16:46Look out, the sign!
00:16:53Hold the tire! Hold on!
00:16:55Hold on!
00:16:57Hold on!
00:16:59Hold on!
00:17:01Hold on!
00:17:02Hold the tire! Hold on!
00:17:11Molly.
00:17:13Molly, can you read me, over?
00:17:15Go for Molly. What is it?
00:17:18We're about 60 miles from Fairmont.
00:17:22Caught in some kind of hailstorm.
00:17:24Busted up the car, busted up the highway, we blew a tire.
00:17:28Look at the size of this thing.
00:17:30You're right, it's as big as a baseball.
00:17:33Did he just say baseball?
00:17:36Eric, is the hail bigger than what fell back at the hangar?
00:17:40Affirmative. Yeah, Griffin's holding one in his hand right now.
00:17:43It's roughly the size of a baseball.
00:17:45That's a four-inch diameter.
00:17:48The hail's getting larger.
00:17:50It means the storm's intensifying.
00:17:52We need to get to Fairmont right now.
00:17:54Eric, how long will it take for you to fix that flat?
00:17:58We need you to get back on the road in less than an hour, fast.
00:18:02I'll do that.
00:18:04Can you imagine these things getting to the size of a bowling ball?
00:18:07I'd rather not, mate. Let's get this spare tire on and get going.
00:18:12Everything okay?
00:18:15Yeah, it's just that not everything's getting through on the tablet.
00:18:20Clay? Chrissy, come in.
00:18:24Hey, Mom, what's up?
00:18:26I just want to check in. What's your 20?
00:18:28Oh, we're still on the I-40. We got stuck in some traffic, so we're running behind.
00:18:32My father got a flat tire. He and Griffin were caught in a hailstorm.
00:18:36How's the weather where you guys are?
00:18:38Oh, I mean, we're still in the fog and it's been snowing off and on, so that's been causing the traffic.
00:18:42But other than that, so far so good.
00:18:44Drive safe.
00:18:48The other teams are both running late now.
00:18:50We're going to be cutting it close on this launch window.
00:18:53David, look, when this is over, I really want to talk to you about REACT.
00:18:57What's wrong?
00:18:58Nothing.
00:19:00But...
00:19:02Are you going to leave?
00:19:04Leave? No.
00:19:06Well, then, I mean, this is your baby. This is your company.
00:19:10It's not that.
00:19:12What is it?
00:19:14Not now. We'll talk about it later.
00:19:16Molly, David.
00:19:18Come in, please. We've got a major problem.
00:19:20Yolanda, what is it?
00:19:22The Strand Hospital. They want no parts of this.
00:19:23They're extremely concerned that the electromagnetic forces from the emissions of the fork
00:19:28are going to interfere with the medical devices in the hospital.
00:19:31Even after everything you explained we're doing to their administration?
00:19:35Yes, I explained that, but the more I explain, the more adamant their refusal.
00:19:39They don't know who we are and they don't want us anywhere near the hospital with those forks.
00:19:43Okay, we can readjust the coordinates to a different launch window.
00:19:46I mean, the storm's already growing stronger.
00:19:48If we wait, we risk the weather pattern changing too drastically for the seeding to be effective.
00:19:54We have to plant the forks and make this window.
00:19:57Yolanda, that hospital is the only location.
00:20:01We have to find a way to convince them. Otherwise, none of this is going to work.
00:20:05We're running out of time.
00:20:07David, I... I have an idea.
00:20:09Molly, why do I have a feeling this day is about to get a whole lot worse?
00:20:14Natasha, that's what we're actively working to avoid out here.
00:20:18So you're in the field already?
00:20:21Natasha, Hailstone's sizes are increasing as temperature keeps dropping rapidly.
00:20:26Eric and Griffin have already witnessed hail at four-inch diameter.
00:20:30Where was this?
00:20:32Sixty miles south-east.
00:20:34And they've seen this first-hand?
00:20:36Affirmative. The hail is only going to increase in diameter unless we can get these rockets up.
00:20:41Rockets? Did you say rockets?
00:20:44Oh, cloud-seeding rockets filled with silver iodide, suppressed to reduce the hailstones.
00:20:50No one is putting rockets in the air, do you understand?
00:20:54No one.
00:20:56I know.
00:20:58The most important thing we can do right now is to make sure we get the rockets up.
00:21:01I know.
00:21:03FEMA does not authorize rockets. You need to contact the NSA.
00:21:08No, no. We're only planting a guidance system.
00:21:12We're launching the rockets some 80, 90 miles away from any population center.
00:21:17Strand Memorial Medical Center doesn't know who we are and they won't grant us access.
00:21:21Natasha, I need you to vouch for us and get permission into that campus.
00:21:26I'm telling you, this is not my jurisdiction nor authority.
00:21:29Natasha, I would be happy to debate the necessity and value of our efforts with you, but we are literally running out of time.
00:21:38You have the data in front of you for once. Please, let's work together on this.
00:21:46I will handle Strand Memorial Hospital personally.
00:22:00Come on.
00:22:14Blake, keep this thing on the road.
00:22:16I am.
00:22:20How much further do we have to go?
00:22:22We have nine miles until we're at our destination.
00:22:25Tell Mom we're almost there.
00:22:27Mom, come in.
00:22:29Yeah, we're almost at our destination in Mount Olive, but the wind is picking up really fast.
00:22:34Copy that, honey.
00:22:36David and I are pulling up to the Strand Medical Center now, but be careful.
00:22:40Let us know when your two-new fork is assembled and be ready and active.
00:22:43Okay, copy that.
00:22:45The National Weather Service has called for a freeze and wind chill warning for Georgia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, all the way up through New York.
00:22:56We're looking at temperatures below 20 degrees by tonight.
00:23:01Jeez, and these severe hail storms are, they're going to start hitting more than the Carolinas.
00:23:11It's 1242. Almost time to launch. Natasha, please come through with FEMA magic.
00:23:17May I help you, please?
00:23:19Dr. David Diaz, Dr. Molly Martin, we're here to install the tuning fork we called ahead.
00:23:24Uh, you're going to install what?
00:23:27A tuning fork. We spoke to someone in administration, and we also had someone from FEMA call.
00:23:33FEMA? I don't have anything from FEMA. Hold on.
00:23:43Yeah, hi, this is Roscoe at the main desk. I got some people here from FEMA.
00:23:48They said they came to install, uh, something.
00:23:54Oh, I see.
00:23:59Okay.
00:24:04Okay. I need you two to stay here. The administrator is on her way down.
00:24:10Okay, can you please tell her that this is an urgent matter?
00:24:13I understand, ma'am. And she is on her way down.
00:24:16And she is on her way down now.
00:24:19Thanks. Come on.
00:24:21Uh, you're going to take the next left in about 400 feet.
00:24:24Okay.
00:24:26Once the flanges are secured in position to the main antenna, it can be stretched to full extension.
00:24:30And the sensor engaged for system... Hey, hey, hey, you're going to miss it. Here.
00:24:40Now what?
00:24:42It's straight ahead. The park should be on your left in about a mile and a quarter.
00:24:46Take those instructions with you. You're going to need them.
00:24:49You think?
00:24:51It's... It's 1252.
00:24:57The wind's still picking up.
00:25:00The ground must be frozen by now.
00:25:03Okay, honestly, we're going to need to figure out some way to keep the tuning fork in place.
00:25:13Sir.
00:25:14This is an emergency announcement. Can all porters report to A&E? All porters to A&E. We have an emergency...
00:25:20I'm Erica Rossiter, Chief Administrator of the facility. So you're here on behalf of FEMA?
00:25:26Yes, and we don't have much time. We've already been authorized for this operation.
00:25:30All right, something about the installation of a transmitter for a weather modification system due to the storm?
00:25:36Yeah, a hailstone suppression exercise.
00:25:38Yes, and we are already in our launch window. If we could please get started.
00:25:41I understand. Senator Terry Carlson called me to explain on behalf of FEMA.
00:25:47Senator Carlson?
00:25:49And he feels it best that you leave.
00:25:51Okay, this is very important. This is life-threatening. I mean, this is really...
00:25:54And if you stay, I'm going to have to call the police.
00:25:58All right, let's go.
00:26:00Okay, all right. Thank you very much.
00:26:02All right.
00:26:10Okay, we're in time. It's 13-7, but we've got to hurry.
00:26:15See if you can get that secondary up by the tree there.
00:26:21Use the flanges to put it in the ground.
00:26:27Okay, we're going to try and get the primary up on the jungle gym.
00:26:31We need to get to the roof.
00:26:33Follow me. I've got an idea.
00:26:35Excuse me, excuse me. I need to get this man a wheelchair now.
00:26:39Okay, first, here we go. Fill out this form.
00:26:42We have been overwhelmed because of the storm.
00:26:45I understand. I don't think you know who this man is.
00:26:48Ma'am, can you just please have a seat?
00:26:50Listen to me. This is Dr. George Strand. Do you know who that is?
00:26:54Please take a seat.
00:26:56His name is on the freaking hospital.
00:26:58Listen, I don't want to make a scene here, and I don't want to get you in trouble,
00:27:02but I will do what I need to do if you don't get him a wheelchair now, damn it!
00:27:07Thank you!
00:27:12You can be pretty scary when you want to be.
00:27:14You'd be surprised how many petroleum plants I snuck into.
00:27:19I can't see three feet in front of me. Where's the edge of the building?
00:27:23Just be careful, all right?
00:27:25All right, just let's pace this out.
00:27:26Let's pace this out. Stop here.
00:27:29Okay.
00:27:31Hurry, let's get this thing built. We can't miss the launch window.
00:27:38Thirteen twelve. Only six minutes to go.
00:27:47I hope no one heard that.
00:27:49I hope that didn't go off the side of the roof, or we're screwed.
00:27:52You're going to attach this to the jungle, Jim.
00:27:56See if this metal can't act as a giant conducting structure.
00:28:07I copy, Yolanda.
00:28:09A tuning fork is active and operational.
00:28:12Eric. Eric, your fork is operational.
00:28:15Yolanda, have you heard from Clay or Chrissy or Molly?
00:28:18Nothing yet.
00:28:20The launch window is closing.
00:28:23Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy there. You got it? Steady.
00:28:26Thank you.
00:28:28Be careful.
00:28:30I got it.
00:28:32Chrissy, do you read me?
00:28:36Yolanda, we're nearly ready to launch. The window's going to close in four minutes.
00:28:41I'm all set. Just waiting one more second, Chrissy.
00:28:48David, be careful. This entire roof is covered in ice.
00:28:51All right, let's get this thing set up and boot the navigational system.
00:28:57Yolanda, we're setting up the tuning fork. Boot up the navigational system.
00:29:02Yolanda, we're getting the tuning fork operational and ready to navigate.
00:29:08Yolanda.
00:29:10Yolanda, are you there?
00:29:14Molly. Molly, the launch missile got buried in the tree branches.
00:29:19I'm picking it up and preparing it for launch now, but we only have four minutes.
00:29:23If we don't launch it by then, this will all have been a waste.
00:29:27We're almost ready. Come back.
00:29:29But that's only two. I haven't heard back yet from Chrissy and Clay.
00:29:33Yolanda, you haven't heard from either of them?
00:29:35Negative, Molly. Not since the launch window opened.
00:29:47Did we crash?
00:29:49Chrissy, are you... your eye. Are you okay?
00:29:53I'm fine. Are you okay?
00:29:55We're going to miss the launch window. We have to hurry.
00:30:02Eric. Come in, Eric.
00:30:05Yep. Roger that. I'm here.
00:30:07Have you heard from Chrissy or Clay?
00:30:09No. I've been trying them for the last 20 minutes. I can't get them.
00:30:12I can't reach them either.
00:30:14It's almost 1318. We're down to three minutes.
00:30:16Three minutes.
00:30:20Molly, we're getting those bowling balls you were talking about coming out of the sky.
00:30:24I'm not sure how much longer we can be out here.
00:30:27Okay. Rockets are ready to launch.
00:30:30Two minutes remaining.
00:30:32Our tuning fork is active.
00:30:34Our tuning fork is active and operational. Over.
00:30:42We have to plant the fork.
00:30:44It's frozen shut.
00:30:46Come help me.
00:30:57Clay, be careful.
00:31:06Elana, this is Chrissy.
00:31:08Chrissy.
00:31:10Thank God you guys are okay.
00:31:12Just worry about me later, okay? Clay and I have the tuning fork ready.
00:31:14Roger that, okay.
00:31:25Rockets are away.
00:31:45Clay, Chrissy, do you read me?
00:31:48Please, please answer. Clay, Chrissy.
00:31:51Buff, Mom, we made it.
00:31:58The hail is smaller.
00:32:00It's just snow.
00:32:03We did it.
00:32:06You guys did really good. Do you know that?
00:32:09Just wait until you see someone in the SUV.
00:32:11I'm really proud of you both.
00:32:20Molly, it's David.
00:32:22I need to talk to you right there. Over.
00:32:24Yeah, Yolanda, what is it?
00:32:26Good news.
00:32:28The cloud seeding, it worked.
00:32:30Hailstone forecasts have significantly reduced to normal sizes.
00:32:34That's good.
00:32:36I'm guessing it's a good sign.
00:32:38Yeah.
00:32:39Weather and pattern took a turn.
00:32:42You remember the great Texas freeze?
00:32:45The storm in February of 21, it killed 700 people, left 5 million without power for days.
00:32:51I mean, it sent Ted Cruz fleeing to Mexico.
00:32:54Yeah, I don't know what you're saying.
00:32:57We're about to enter a new ice age.
00:33:09Oh, my God.
00:33:40Oh, my God.
00:33:57We have to break out.
00:34:09Hello?
00:34:13Hello?
00:34:17Hello?
00:34:21They'll be back to us, okay?
00:34:23No, they're not, Chrissy.
00:34:25Yeah, they will. They'll be back.
00:34:27They have location of the tuning forks, okay? They know where we are.
00:34:30Chrissy, we're in the middle of nowhere, in a freaking snowstorm, with hail the size of boulders.
00:34:39They're gonna find us.
00:34:41They'll be back.
00:34:43They'll be back, okay?
00:34:47Mom always comes back.
00:34:54So, do you want to talk about it?
00:34:56About what?
00:34:58You said you wanted to talk to me.
00:35:00No, not now.
00:35:02You know, are you thinking about...
00:35:04I just want to make some changes to my company, that's all.
00:35:07Your company? Was that ever decided?
00:35:10What are you saying, Diaz?
00:35:12Forget it.
00:35:14Look, Molly, I'm really sorry about Griffin. I had no clue about his illegal drilling.
00:35:19No.
00:35:21And you can't get rid of me. My name's on half of the government contract.
00:35:24David, what are you talking about?
00:35:26You think it's as simple as making a call and poof, we're permitted?
00:35:31No, it takes months, sometimes years.
00:35:33What did you do?
00:35:35I did what I had to do.
00:35:37That's not operational.
00:35:39I'm the one keeping us together.
00:35:41Okay, this is about my kids.
00:35:43Griffin's going to jail.
00:35:45Your actions destroyed every relationship from FEMA to every other government agency.
00:35:49Whatever you're talking about, we need to fix.
00:35:55Wait, Molly, what are you doing?
00:35:57Wait, is that them?
00:35:59I think that's the SUV.
00:36:04Oh my God, it's them!
00:36:08It's them.
00:36:11Go. Let's go.
00:36:13Oh my God.
00:36:19No! No!
00:36:21Gracie! Come on, sweetheart, come on!
00:36:24Come on, come on, come on! You got it!
00:36:27Do you think you have hypothermia?
00:36:29No, but if you keep standing here any longer, I...
00:36:31Come on!
00:36:33We got you, are you okay?
00:36:35That's it.
00:36:38Oh my God.
00:36:40Oh my God.
00:36:44Yes, so warm.
00:36:46You guys okay?
00:36:48Did the rockets go off? Did it work?
00:36:50It worked.
00:36:52Well, if it worked, then why isn't the storm dying down?
00:36:54Desmond, we just need to get back to the command center.
00:36:57What do you mean?
00:36:59I can't believe I let you guys go out by yourselves.
00:37:01I don't know what I was thinking.
00:37:03That we're adults?
00:37:05Mom, we're fine. Just tell us what's going on.
00:37:07We're good, we're good, we're good.
00:37:14Molly, David, do you read me?
00:37:16Go ahead, Yolanda.
00:37:18What's your 20?
00:37:20We picked up Clay and Christy. We're about 35 miles out.
00:37:23Thank goodness.
00:37:26Clay, Christy, thank God you guys are okay.
00:37:30I never thought I'd be this excited to head back to a tech rig.
00:37:34Hey, Molly.
00:37:36You guys can make it back in the hour?
00:37:38I want David to corroborate some of the stuff I'm reading here at HQ.
00:37:42Yolanda, I'm running a volume scan now, building data imaging models.
00:37:49What's in it?
00:37:51David, what is it?
00:37:53These models.
00:37:55They're...
00:37:57Hey.
00:37:59Yolanda, let's toggle through jet stream analysis models across the globe,
00:38:01projected over the entire day.
00:38:03Copy that.
00:38:05Have you spoken to Molly?
00:38:07Yes, everyone's fine.
00:38:09Clay and Christy are alright?
00:38:11Yeah.
00:38:13Okay, do you mind if I...
00:38:15Molly, did you find Clay and Christy?
00:38:17Yeah.
00:38:19Dad, we're good.
00:38:21Just cold.
00:38:23The SUV is another story, though.
00:38:25Yeah, maybe next time I should drive.
00:38:27This would definitely not have happened if I were driving, okay?
00:38:29You want a cookie?
00:38:31Is that your question?
00:38:33Yeah.
00:38:35Griffin and I have just been attempting repairs.
00:38:38We may have to see if he's got another vehicle, though,
00:38:41if we want to go back out again.
00:38:43Well, I've got a fleet of about 1,500 black Volvo's.
00:38:46So we've got plenty of cars to go back out again if we need to.
00:38:49No one is leaving Mobile Command again in this weather.
00:38:52Molly, we might not have much of a choice in that.
00:38:54Well, I am making the choice.
00:38:56No one's leaving in this weather.
00:38:58Copy that.
00:38:59The temperature is continuing to increase.
00:39:01Now casting models show a storm system
00:39:03moving in a steady pattern,
00:39:05bringing southerly winds
00:39:07and a 35-degree drop in temperature by tomorrow.
00:39:09Well, it practically is tomorrow already.
00:39:12And the day after that,
00:39:14projections indicate a further drop of 20 degrees.
00:39:17That's a 55-degree drop.
00:39:19Yeah, in less than 36 hours.
00:39:21So this is NASA JPL atmospheric infrared-sounding readings
00:39:26showing frigid Arctic air
00:39:29moving from the North Pole to the lower latitudes
00:39:32across the northern hemisphere.
00:39:34Now the purple and blue denote the coldest temps
00:39:37coming off of the polar vortex.
00:39:39When the polar vortex becomes weaker,
00:39:42all of the cold Arctic air it brings,
00:39:45it gets pulled down by the polar vortex.
00:39:47Allowing it to reach lower than it normally would do.
00:39:50It's always so cold this far south.
00:39:52Basically, yeah.
00:39:54I mean, the polar vortex is split off
00:39:56and it's just stretched down.
00:39:58That disruption brings it
00:40:00with these brutal sub-zero temperatures
00:40:02that we've never experienced before.
00:40:04And all the snow, hail, and ice that comes with it?
00:40:07Correct.
00:40:09Multiple storms have gathered on the jet stream,
00:40:11becoming both more intense
00:40:13and less intense.
00:40:14They're moving in a southwesterly direction.
00:40:16Converging massive storm fronts
00:40:18responsible for plummeting temperatures
00:40:21reaching a record low of minus 80 degrees
00:40:24within the next 36 hours.
00:40:26Minus 80?
00:40:28That's insane.
00:40:30That's like Montana in the dead of January.
00:40:32Yeah, the record low for Montana
00:40:34was negative 70 back in the 1950s.
00:40:38You're telling me that the Carolinas
00:40:40are about to go into the Arctic?
00:40:41You're telling me that the Carolinas
00:40:43are about to go into a deep freeze
00:40:45that we can't even begin to fathom?
00:40:47Not just the Carolinas
00:40:49or the eastern seaboard.
00:40:51Yeah.
00:40:53Yolanda and I have been tracking the storms.
00:40:55These wind speeds and temperatures,
00:40:57accumulation of ice levels
00:40:59in such short periods of time,
00:41:01the severity of the precipitation.
00:41:03We're already seeing these
00:41:05in these last few days.
00:41:07The split vortex is branching out
00:41:09from the Carolinas.
00:41:11The current severity
00:41:13of this split polar vortex,
00:41:15we have 15 hours
00:41:17until we're about to see
00:41:19multiple parts of the world
00:41:21start freezing at extreme record temperatures
00:41:24that we haven't seen in millions of years.
00:41:27And that frigid air from the Arctic
00:41:31is moving down,
00:41:33I mean, way further down this time
00:41:35and it's way, way less forgiving.
00:41:37I mean, we're looking at precipitation levels
00:41:39that we haven't experienced
00:41:41in a long time.
00:41:43I mean, in the U.S. alone,
00:41:45we're looking at at least
00:41:4730 feet of snow or more
00:41:49in the Midwest and beyond
00:41:51branching out from there.
00:41:53How do we stop it, Molly?
00:41:55I mean...
00:41:57I mean, we have an answer
00:41:59for this, right?
00:42:02Come on.
00:42:04We fought volcanoes,
00:42:07didn't we?
00:42:08We don't have a plan for this?
00:42:10Winter?
00:42:12Yes.
00:42:14Do you know ten times more people die
00:42:16from extreme cold
00:42:18than geographical catastrophes?
00:42:20And that number is just rising.
00:42:23But...
00:42:25we've already
00:42:27altered the physical structure
00:42:29of precipitation with two rockets.
00:42:32I'm saying, why can't we do it again?
00:42:35The silver iodide is limited
00:42:36in its efficacy,
00:42:38and this is worldwide now.
00:42:40Yeah, and seeding clouds for a storm
00:42:42is far less complex
00:42:44than interfering with precipitation
00:42:46on a cold storm front.
00:42:48You know what?
00:42:51Let's just send more.
00:42:53How many rockets and missiles
00:42:55do we have to fire at this storm
00:42:57to reduce the size of it?
00:42:59We can't.
00:43:01Not with the tools that we have.
00:43:03The temperatures fried the drivers,
00:43:04and the hailstones did the rest.
00:43:06Even a massive rocket
00:43:08would freeze before we had a chance
00:43:10to release any of the silver iodide.
00:43:12That makes sense as to why the SUV looked like that.
00:43:14I thought it was just Clay's handiwork.
00:43:16Chris.
00:43:18Clay. You okay?
00:43:20Yeah, we're fine. We're fine.
00:43:22I thought so. I just, you know,
00:43:24had to see for myself.
00:43:26We're just happy to be back here,
00:43:28that everybody's safe.
00:43:30Well, that's you always thinking
00:43:32of everybody except yourself.
00:43:34Yolanda, run your stats again, please.
00:43:37Yolanda? Are you good?
00:43:41Yolanda.
00:43:43Are you okay?
00:43:48Yeah, uh, excuse me.
00:43:53Be right back.
00:44:05Yeah.
00:44:17Do you want to talk about it?
00:44:21I'm sorry. Um, yeah.
00:44:24I just, I didn't expect...
00:44:26I guess I just...
00:44:35You and your brother
00:44:37could have really been hurt.
00:44:39Or worse.
00:44:42It's just a bruise, okay?
00:44:45We're fine.
00:44:47Nothing happened to us.
00:44:49It's just every time I say
00:44:51another location,
00:44:53it's another race.
00:45:04It's just another race.
00:45:06It's just another race.
00:45:08It's just another race.
00:45:10It's just another race.
00:45:12It's just another race.
00:45:14It's just another race.
00:45:16It's just another race.
00:45:18It's just another race.
00:45:20It's just another race.
00:45:22It's just another race.
00:45:24It's just another race.
00:45:26It's just another race.
00:45:28It's just another race.
00:45:30It's just another race.
00:45:32It's just another race.
00:45:35It's just another race.
00:45:37It's just another race.
00:45:40We're crazy guys,
00:45:43and I do believe in our time.
00:45:45Which is why I don't think
00:45:47there's anything that could hurt.
00:45:57These endless nights
00:45:59we only dream about,
00:46:01our souls are in this rhythm,
00:46:02I miss feeling like I'm a part of something and I thought that I might lose that again.
00:46:32I'm fine um you should you should go in Yolanda you're not going to lose me.
00:46:44Really? Really.
00:46:48Okay so what do we know about this storm? A polar vortex is an upper level low pressure area.
00:46:57Cyclonic in nature and gaining strength through differences in temperature.
00:47:04Yeah it relies on horizontal changes in temperature from cold to warm. Sort of like a
00:47:12hurricane relies on vertical changes in temperature. You okay? Yeah yeah good.
00:47:21The polar vortex has already split. Jet stream is moving in the direction over the Atlantic basin
00:47:27carrying all of the storms with it and the other ones I mean moving over the Appalachian mountains
00:47:33into the midwest. Molly our Nautcast has an update. Well when these vortices meet the heat
00:47:41from the collision and the cold from the vortices themselves are going to create a vacuum freezing
00:47:47earth to absolute zero and the vortices are already moving faster than they have in the
00:47:54past. So we've got about 10 hours. Is that enough time for us to even do anything? Any time left on
00:48:00the clock means that we have time to come up with a plan and we have hours. Let's just think about
00:48:08this scientifically. Isn't that what we always do? Very cute Clay. Okay the polar vortex is formed
00:48:19due to severe temperatures and the differences between the poles and the equator. Right so what
00:48:24are you suggesting we do? There's no sunlight in the polar stratosphere making it extremely cold
00:48:30while the equator stays very warm. We replace the sun that's been lost in the polar stratosphere
00:48:38with another heat source. We use microwaves. Microwaves for heat? From where?
00:48:50Solar energy. Yep exactly right. Heat the cold air right where it's splitting directly from above
00:48:59bypassing the polar front that separates the arctic air from the warmer air surrounding it.
00:49:05Wait.
00:49:11Weaken the storm from within and the storm dies out.
00:49:16But when you say from above you mean? Space. Geostationary orbiters collecting solar power.
00:49:24That could very well work. That's worth a shot. Hold on. Are you suggesting that we heat
00:49:32this storm with microwaves? Yes, from satellites that store solar energy. And where do we gain
00:49:44access to these said satellites? Huh that's a good question. I don't know. I don't know.
00:49:51Said satellites? Huh that's the million dollar question isn't it? Or should I say the billion
00:49:57dollar question? Yeah you should have some pals with some satellites lying around shouldn't you
00:50:03mate? Guys? We're still trying to determine if the severe winter storm is also at fault for the
00:50:10derailment. An investigation is underway. That's Galico. Transports cargo from New York to Miami.
00:50:18Where did it crash? Reports are saying somewhere near the Greenworth Pass in an area by the
00:50:28Brock Hill Range. It looks like they're just blaming the accident on the frigid temperatures.
00:50:34Well they aren't wrong. Temperatures are falling. We have to get our plan into effect.
00:50:40How? Where are we going to find satellites with that kind of capability?
00:50:45National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration has that access. No, NOAA is only in the business of
00:50:52data collection and observation. They don't have equipment to do anything else. NASA and the NOAA
00:50:58had partnered up to experiment with solar containment. NEO is intended to prevent and
00:51:04divert hurricanes but that program was shut down years ago. So do these satellites even exist
00:51:13anymore? Well I guess there's only one way to find out. We have to contact NOAA. I mean
00:51:21they were the agency in charge. They would have the answer to these questions. I don't have any
00:51:28contacts at NOAA. FEMA I do. So they could probably fast track what we need. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:51:39I'm sorry. I'm afraid so.
00:51:47Hey, how are the volunteers coming along for the phone trees? Phone trees are up all around the
00:51:53county. Half the state's sewed in by now. They're all happy to help and no place else to be.
00:52:01It's the ones with no place to go that I'm concerned with. Have you talked to Senator Carlson?
00:52:09He's busy with California. He's not giving this any attention. Are you serious?
00:52:16Molly? Listen. About the hospital? It happened. It's fine. Yeah, but you were right about the
00:52:24cloud seeding. Um, thank you. I'm assuming you're seeing these reports. This thing has split
00:52:31and is only expanding. Do you know what we're up against? If my models are correct, we don't have
00:52:37enough cloud seeding to even make a dent. I know, but Natasha, we have to stop the storm. I mean if
00:52:43they don't, when the vortices meet, the entire planet will hit absolute zero. Are you sure?
00:52:50We've run the models several times. They're all showing the same thing. I'm assuming you have a
00:52:56plan. That's the only reason why you ever call me. We need access to a series of geostationary
00:53:04orbiters with large capacity storage for solar power. FEMA and NOAA always work hand in hand
00:53:10through these crises. Right. NOAA supplies us with pertinent data upon which we make critical
00:53:16decisions about public safety. That's about the extent of their capacity. But that data center
00:53:22has the ability to communicate with the other U.S. operational assets in geosynchronous orbit.
00:53:28I'm not privy to the specifics of their functioning capabilities. Okay, then you know what?
00:53:34Put me in touch with NOAA directly. We can advise on how to utilize the existing
00:53:39in-orbit capabilities with what we have at their disposal. Okay, let me try.
00:53:46Okay. Thank you.
00:53:54Luckily, I still have some international friends.
00:53:58NOAA can connect with the satellites as needed. Thank you, Griffin. Welcome. It's great.
00:54:08Yolanda, David, can you guys come confirm these numbers? What's wrong? As the vortices move across
00:54:15the planet, the cold is increasing Earth's magnetic field. Yeah, and it's wreaking havoc on our
00:54:23satellite communications. We only have 20 minutes to reach them and implement our plan.
00:54:29Molly. Natasha, any luck? Look, we've run the numbers again and we only have 20 minutes to
00:54:35make this work. Okay, NOAA is patched in. Molly, this is Regional WCM Program Director Clark Dunfield.
00:54:43Hello, Mr. Dunfield?
00:54:48Yes, this is Mr. Dunfield. Okay, Mr. Dunfield, I know that this is going to sound extreme,
00:54:53but we have been working on a model where it's showing an ice age. What? Hold on a minute.
00:55:01Mr. Dunfield? I don't hear him.
00:55:14I'm calling Dunfield back. Hold on. Uh, Molly, there's a problem.
00:55:22Forecast data, models, every facet of the mapping software is dismantled.
00:55:28I can't update any of the now-casting projections. How is that possible?
00:55:34I don't know. It's like the National Weather Service just completely stopped providing
00:55:39any data whatsoever.
00:55:44Leng, what is it? What happened? We lost NOAA. OSPO. Natasha, what is going on?
00:55:51We lost the Office of Satellite and Products Operations. That's the main communications hub
00:55:56of NOAA. It's completely frozen. Okay, but that leaves us relying on localized radar at best for
00:56:03the time being. What about rerouting all NOAA data to auxiliary facilities? That would have NWS
00:56:12back at full capacity a whole lot sooner. OSPO is down. NOAA isn't getting back up in time for
00:56:18us to stop this thing. We have no comms capability with the satellites. There's nothing we can do.
00:56:25There's nothing we can do. There's no way to get back up to the satellites now. I'm sorry.
00:56:31Thank you for doing what you could, Natasha. If you could, if you could please just continue with
00:56:36the evacuations. Especially continue evacuations underground. We should get to the hangar.
00:56:44Come on.
00:56:45Well, it looks like we have a deal. Congratulations, Dr. Diaz. This wasn't easy for me.
00:56:57I don't want this to get out. This is between you and me, Senator. Understood. You get to be
00:57:03president of REACT as long as I get Griffin Richards. I sent you all the paperwork. You
00:57:09have enough to put him away. That's for sure. The deal is complete. You have my protection and
00:57:16the U.S. government recognizes REACT with you as its president. Well done.
00:57:29The ARCSTAR spaceplane Mark VIII. It was a prototype we were developing to reach
00:57:36suborbital heights above Earth. Griffin, can this thing still fly?
00:57:42Yes, but it depends on how far up you're planning to go. We can't move any of the
00:57:48orbiters into position, let alone aim a microwave beam into the proper vectors
00:57:52right in the path of the storm. Are you asking if we can launch a flight that will bring our transmitter
00:57:58close to the satellites? Now we're starting to use the same brain.
00:58:04I was thinking the exact same thing. Technically, yes, but we have two challenges. First,
00:58:15the weather. The Mark VIII wasn't designed to sustain the impact that taking off from the storm
00:58:21can endure. If the wind doesn't blow us off course, the precipitation could damage the hull,
00:58:29the tiles, you name it. And that's if the onboard electronics don't blow on the way up.
00:58:36See, you have to see we're taking this to the max height,
00:58:43from the bottom of the stratosphere to the top of the mesosphere.
00:58:49Okay, well that's the first. What's the second? Propellant. We don't have that. Weather's
00:58:54irrelevant. Where do we get that? Well, the train that crashed was transporting it. At least that's
00:59:04where it was the last time I got an update. Okay, then we just go get it. We have another problem.
00:59:12Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine has a freezing point of negative 75.3 degrees. Those containers
00:59:19have been around there for hours. Yeah, then we need to move ASAP. We need to take the REACT
00:59:28command center. This thing can make it through Greenworth Pass in the storm, and it's large
00:59:35enough to transport the containers. Plus, it's not likely to freeze because it uses the same materials
00:59:42as the suits. Eric and I'll drive up there. I'm going too. Nope, you stay here. You need a third
00:59:50person to watch the rig while you go out in the cold and lug these things back. Come on.
00:59:55All right, well here's what's gonna happen. Griffin, Eric, Chrissy, you're gonna go in the
01:00:00command center. Okay. Clay, David, Yolanda, and I are gonna stay here and prep the Mark 8 for takeoff.
01:00:07Now hold on a second. This cold is deep. We're literally lined up to freeze within seconds as
01:00:12the core temperatures drop. That means that everyone, and I mean everyone, is to be in
01:00:19protective thermal suits. But we don't have enough. I'll see what I have.
01:00:26Molly. Molly. What? I was hoping I could get those papers back off you.
01:00:35Look, I know we have a lot to talk about, but if we make it through this ordeal,
01:00:40I think we can make it through anything. All right, just like we used to when things were
01:00:44different. I don't even know what to say.
01:00:56Great.
01:01:02Yeah.
01:01:08Molly.
01:01:09Uh, you good to go? Yeah, good to go. Come on, let's, let's do it.
01:01:26Hey, be careful, okay? Hey, remember what I said? You're not losing me.
01:01:32You're not losing me. I'm gonna hold you to that. Go for it.
01:01:40Hey. Hey. Could you please just get back here fast? No one else knows how to fly this thing.
01:01:47It's been a minute since I've flown it myself, Molly. As long as the rocket gets up there, but
01:01:53please be careful. Without this rocket, there's no
01:01:59planet Earth. I understand. Thanks.
01:02:22So
01:02:44I've been hit by lightning. Hey, Clifford,
01:02:48what do these containers of rocket propellant look like?
01:02:52They are heavy black boxes, but they may be buried in snow by now.
01:02:59So we could miss them.
01:03:18So
01:03:35this is the third time that I've run a telemetry analysis.
01:03:40The report keeps showing me a faulty command or a data systems alert.
01:03:45What does that mean? I don't know. This is more David's department.
01:03:54How's it going over here? Uh, well, transmitter's been reprogrammed. Now I need to get it to talk
01:03:59to the satellites. Space-bound computer systems are notoriously tough to infiltrate, but every
01:04:04system has a vulnerable attack point. That's my specialty, or so I thought, but I'm having a lot
01:04:11of trouble finding the weakness on the NOAA internal command network. Am I supposed to know
01:04:17what any of this means? I'm hacking into the US geostationary communications array, but instead
01:04:23of porting into the separate sat units themselves, I'm invading the ground station network so you can
01:04:28talk to all of them. Okay, sweetheart, just promise me you're gonna use your powers for
01:04:34good and not evil, okay? I promise, Mom. Just let me work. Okay.
01:04:43It's a mess out here. GPS says we're right on top of it. Visibility is terrible. Okay, I see it.
01:05:05Now that is a literal train wreck. All right, so how are we supposed to find these containers
01:05:10in that mess? Well, we'll start with the train cars, and no luck there, we'll start digging.
01:05:15Okay. I'm gonna help. Chrissy, no. Fine, okay, I'll just, I'll stay and watch the rig, but you guys,
01:05:24please be safe, okay? Fine, we'll be fine. Come on, mate. Yeah.
01:05:34So,
01:05:46what's that stuff called again?
01:05:48Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine. They're in the cylinders. All right, okay.
01:05:56Griffin, look out!
01:05:58Griffin, are you hurt? I hurt my leg, but I'll be okay. What's that on the ground over there?
01:06:06This isn't entirely snow. It's registering as sodium hydroxide. Chromic acid. Those are corrosive
01:06:14materials. They would have stored those with the dimethylhydrazine. We must be close.
01:06:18Flip, I think I've found it. Chrissy, I'm coming inside. Aha, shovels. I'll help you.
01:06:34I managed to uncover two of the containers, but we need to dig them out, so
01:06:40they're buried under the snow. Griffin's hurt his leg. Are you okay? I don't know,
01:06:45but we'll fix it up so we can get through this. Good, that's great. Dad? Yeah? Please,
01:06:52just let me come with you. It'll be so much faster if we both do this. We get out of here.
01:06:56All right. Yeah? Helmet, gloves. Thank you.
01:07:00Okay, it's over here somewhere. Here. Okay. Dig around the sides so we can get the bloody thing
01:07:10out of here. A little more. That's it. Come on. Okay. Okay. All right, we need the second one.
01:07:19Have a look around. Okay.
01:07:22There.
01:07:22Oh, oh. Okay. Okay, look at me. Hey, look away. I know, I know,
01:07:29but there's thousands around here. McCain, if we don't get our butts in the gear,
01:07:33there's going to be millions.
01:07:35Look at me. Hey, look away. I know, I know,
01:07:39but there's thousands around here. McCain, if we don't get our butts in the gear,
01:07:43there's going to be millions.
01:07:54Senator, I've done everything you've asked, all right?
01:07:58Are we still looking good?
01:07:59Are we still looking good?
01:08:02Yes, we have a deal, Dr. Diaz.
01:08:05I've made all the arrangements.
01:08:08You're going to be a hero.
01:08:10Certainly.
01:08:13But I still want a cabinet post when this is over.
01:08:19Senator, Senator, are you there?
01:08:22Senator Carlson, can you hear me?
01:08:24Can you hear me?
01:08:28I got you.
01:08:34Griffin? What happened?
01:08:37It's broken.
01:08:39One of the rocket propellant cylinders fell over on him.
01:08:42We've got to get him to a hospital or something.
01:08:45Where? The storm shut everything down.
01:08:48Casey, go get the medical bag.
01:08:50Griffin, I know you're in pain.
01:08:53One half of the split vortex has already moved over mainland Europe.
01:08:57Millions are going to die there at sunset tonight.
01:09:00Which means we only have about five hours, five hours maximum,
01:09:05before the vortices meet and we're at absolute zero.
01:09:09He's right, dammit.
01:09:11Marquis has to get up in the air or we failed and that's not an option.
01:09:15Well then who's going to take her up there?
01:09:17Molly has the coordinates.
01:09:19She has to go.
01:09:20I certainly can't fly this thing right now.
01:09:23Eric, you go.
01:09:25You have military training.
01:09:28It's essentially like a fancy jet.
01:09:32The rocket propellant cylinders are in the mobile command center.
01:09:35They're really heavy.
01:09:37Mom, Dad, we better get going.
01:09:39We don't have the luxury of a launch window or a long goodbye.
01:09:41Of course, they're right behind you.
01:09:43Molly's on comms, Eric.
01:09:45You're flying this thing right now.
01:09:47There's really...
01:09:48Oh God!
01:09:50There's really nothing to it.
01:09:52It's like a glider strapped to a rocket with 92,000 pounds of thrust.
01:09:57Lifting off will be your biggest challenge.
01:10:00You make it through the weather,
01:10:04you might just get through this.
01:10:06You have a parachute.
01:10:08You come back down,
01:10:10punch the chute,
01:10:12drift back to Earth.
01:10:14Oh great, that sounds easy.
01:10:16Let's quickly go through the launch sequence.
01:10:18Okay.
01:10:49Okay, Griffin, we're in pre-flight.
01:10:52What next?
01:10:54If you've done everything I told you,
01:10:56you're ready for liftoff.
01:10:58As ready as we'll ever be.
01:11:01David, Yolanda, go for liftoff.
01:11:10Eric, you ready for this?
01:11:12Sure, ready if you are.
01:11:14Let's go.
01:11:18Okay.
01:11:23Hey, Chrissy.
01:11:25We love you.
01:11:27See you soon.
01:11:29We love you too.
01:11:30We do.
01:11:46Oh, that's not good.
01:11:48Stabilizer and heat shield is damaged.
01:11:51You're lucky the whole thing didn't fall apart.
01:11:53We have to tell them.
01:11:55Let's just get them stabilized and in position first.
01:12:05Okay, we're at suborbital altitude.
01:12:08Time to go to work.
01:12:15Molly, you're on me.
01:12:17Okay.
01:12:19Getting the satellites into position.
01:12:22We need to be aimed at the mesopheres
01:12:25and target the highest air levels of the storm
01:12:27for the microwaves to have any effect at all.
01:12:40The vortices are almost touching.
01:12:43There's just a sliver over the Atlantic Rim.
01:12:46The Atlantic Rim?
01:12:48What?
01:12:50I thought it was the Pacific Rim.
01:12:52No.
01:12:54The Atlantic Rim, while often overlooked,
01:12:56is going to play a far more significant role
01:12:58in all of this than the Pacific Rim.
01:13:00The Atlantic Rim.
01:13:02I'll have to check that out.
01:13:04But I thought we didn't have any data sources.
01:13:06No, this is NASA Air's infrared system.
01:13:08We can still see the vortices and their temperatures.
01:13:10We just don't have any other data.
01:13:12All right, I've established uplink.
01:13:15Communicating with the orbiters.
01:13:17Maneuvering each into position now.
01:13:28Satellites bag 3919 and 10999.
01:13:36I'm in control of the onboard directionals,
01:13:38preparing to open solar mirror extensions
01:13:40on our primaries.
01:13:42Angle metrics intact.
01:13:45Griffin, I got an alarm blaring at me.
01:13:48What do I do?
01:13:50Stabilizers damaged.
01:13:52Wingtips shot to hell.
01:13:54If any of these satellites are even a half an inch
01:13:56off trajectory, we'll miss the target point
01:13:58and split at the vortices.
01:14:00Griffin, how do I fix this?
01:14:02You don't.
01:14:04You might want to start the reentry process.
01:14:06It might be your only chance to get back alive.
01:14:09Eric, two of our primary satellites
01:14:11just dropped off the screen.
01:14:13Their coordinates are nil.
01:14:15I've completely lost contact with them.
01:14:17Can you find another one?
01:14:19Eric, I can't.
01:14:21We've lost our main heat source and satellite.
01:14:23All the other ones, they're just,
01:14:25they're sitting there waiting for a heat source
01:14:27to reflect into the storm.
01:14:31Eric, I just lost another one.
01:14:33I mean, they're just like falling off my radar.
01:14:35I don't know why.
01:14:36We keep losing them.
01:14:38All right, if we can talk to the others,
01:14:40then the satellites that are nil
01:14:42must have been destroyed, frozen.
01:14:44If we lose any more,
01:14:46this is not going to work, okay?
01:14:48We just don't have enough satellites
01:14:50positioned over the target of the storm.
01:14:53We've already lost our primary heat source units.
01:14:56The reentry parachute, it's huge.
01:14:59It's silver-lined,
01:15:01and it reflects heat and light.
01:15:03If we can get it to work,
01:15:04it reflects heat and light.
01:15:06If we can position it correctly,
01:15:08it can become the heat source.
01:15:10Then we become the primary.
01:15:12If we do this,
01:15:14then we probably don't go home.
01:15:22You sure you want to do this?
01:15:25Yeah.
01:15:27Because I know you will.
01:15:28Okay.
01:15:34What about the kids?
01:15:36Uh, that's why we're doing it.
01:15:48Good luck.
01:15:51You just into position?
01:15:55I'll tell you when the satellites are in sync.
01:15:59Okay.
01:16:06They aren't initiating reentry.
01:16:08What does that mean?
01:16:11Mom? Dad?
01:16:13Come in, over.
01:16:15Mom? Dad?
01:16:17Mom? Dad?
01:16:19Can you hear us?
01:16:21I've got to turn them off.
01:16:23I can't hear the voice.
01:16:25I need to concentrate.
01:16:26Mom?
01:16:31Okay, we're in position.
01:16:34Time to shoot.
01:16:36Okay.
01:16:50They're calm, Gerald.
01:16:52They're not reading us.
01:16:54The vortices.
01:16:56They're turning blue.
01:16:58What does that mean?
01:17:00Molly's plan worked.
01:17:02The vortices are receding.
01:17:12You sure you know what we're doing?
01:17:14No.
01:17:16Hold on, okay? This is going to be bumpy.
01:17:18Okay.
01:17:20Beginning our controlled descent.
01:17:22Let's hope the chute can still hold out.
01:17:27Something's wrong. Something's really wrong.
01:17:41The chute is gone.
01:17:43What do we do?
01:17:47What are you doing?
01:17:49We're going to have to jump for it.
01:17:51What?
01:17:53The plane is going to break up.
01:17:54If we stay on board, we don't have a chance.
01:17:57But if we jump, maybe.
01:17:59They would jump by how large?
01:18:04The world record for high altitude skydiving is 42,000 feet.
01:18:08We're at 44 and dropping.
01:18:12There's a chance, all right?
01:18:15I know you don't have much reason to trust me, okay?
01:18:19But I'm telling you now.
01:18:21Trust me.
01:18:22And I'll spend the rest of my life earning it.
01:18:25Okay.
01:18:32These chutes will deploy parachutes at 10,000 feet.
01:18:35Just try to maintain a level descent until then.
01:18:38Got it.
01:18:48Please, I'm so afraid. Please.
01:18:50I'm so afraid. Please, I'm so afraid. Please.
01:19:20I'm so afraid.
01:19:50I'm so afraid.
01:19:59Eric!
01:20:00Hey.
01:20:01You okay?
01:20:02Everything in one piece?
01:20:03I think so.
01:20:04You okay?
01:20:05Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.
01:20:06That was fun, right?
01:20:07You good again?
01:20:08I'm fine.
01:20:09No, I don't want to do that again.
01:20:10Oh, my God.
01:20:11Mom.
01:20:12Mom.
01:20:13Dad.
01:20:14Are you kids okay?
01:20:16Mom.
01:20:18We're good.
01:20:19We're great.
01:20:21I love you.
01:20:23I love you to the moon and back.
01:20:44Hello.
01:20:46Good to see you.
01:20:47Hey.
01:20:48Hey.
01:20:49How are you?
01:20:50Hi.
01:20:51Good to see you.
01:20:52Lights.
01:20:55Hey.
01:20:56Good to see you.
01:20:57You've been on a holiday.
01:20:58You've been on a holiday?
01:20:59Hello, love.
01:21:00Here he is.
01:21:01Good to see you.
01:21:03Hey.
01:21:04Yeah?
01:21:05So...
01:21:06Yeah?
01:21:07We've had a lot of YOLO moments.
01:21:14But how did you guys fall 45,000 feet?
01:21:17Like this.
01:21:18It's not funny, Dad.
01:21:19It's not funny.
01:21:20Hey.
01:21:22Natasha.
01:21:23It's so good to see you again.
01:21:24Griffin.
01:21:25Natasha.
01:21:26It's so good to see you.
01:21:27Hello.
01:21:28How are you?
01:21:29David.
01:21:30We're here.
01:21:31How are you?
01:21:32David.
01:21:33Eric.
01:21:34Of course.
01:21:35Good to see you.
01:21:36It's really good to see you all.
01:21:38But I'm here on business.
01:21:40Means we get to save the world again.
01:21:42Not quite.
01:21:44Folks.
01:21:46What we did out there was...
01:21:49Amazing.
01:21:50Yeah.
01:21:51Should all be proud of ourselves.
01:21:55But as new owner of React, I have some changes.
01:21:59What?
01:22:00Hold on, David.
01:22:01React is my company.
01:22:03No.
01:22:04Not anymore.
01:22:05David, you can't take something that doesn't belong to you.
01:22:08But it is mine.
01:22:09I signed all of the paperwork.
01:22:11I did all of the legwork.
01:22:12And before he died,
01:22:13Senator Carlson made sure that everything was in order.
01:22:17What?
01:22:19What?
01:22:20Whoa.
01:22:21David, what's going on?
01:22:23Griffin.
01:22:24Your money was instrumental.
01:22:26You're under arrest.
01:22:28Don't move.
01:22:29What for?
01:22:30Molly.
01:22:32You can go back to your do-gooder protests.
01:22:34You and your family are fired.
01:22:36What?
01:22:38Yolanda.
01:22:39Yolanda.
01:22:41I could use you if you want to stay on.
01:22:44You can't get away with this.
01:22:46I believe I just did.
01:22:50Well, I wish I could say it was a pleasure.
01:22:54That's a goodbye for now.
01:22:56Let's go.
01:23:03What are we supposed to do now?
01:23:10Mom?
01:23:12Dad?
01:23:14What is going on?
01:23:39Mom?
01:24:09Mom?
01:24:39Mom?
01:25:09Mom?
01:25:39Mom?
01:25:40Mom?
01:25:41Mom?
01:25:42Mom?
01:25:44Mom?
