00:00:00You
00:00:30Oh
00:00:44Sounds like you got a punch through we've hit a geological formation
00:00:47Guess something else what like a structural trap. Take a look. Tell me
00:01:01Yeah, just look at this which happened to some rocky sediment it's causing real damage it's a volcanic material
00:01:08Nothing, not geologic survey shows this
00:01:20Hey, buddy, can you hear me? Can you hear me? Huh? Hey, you breathing?
00:01:24No, no, I'll start the CPR
00:01:40Life big
00:01:44Oh
00:01:46We got a kicker there's a plume outside
00:01:49Oh
00:01:51We got a kicker there's a plume outside the radius we don't have much time
00:01:57Hold it steady
00:01:59We're under balance
00:02:06I'm doing the chain
00:02:19Like okay
00:02:23Despite the volcano
00:02:48Oh
00:03:18Mr. Winters, it's Colonel Chadwick. Listen. I know Petra cows had Travis burden out to your rig. Yes, sir
00:03:26The storm is building too fast for my comfort it's gonna impact your rig in less than an hour
00:03:32Now I have a Noah vessel in the area. I'd very much like my science team to come and check it out
00:03:36Your liaison is dr. Jenna Sparks, please. See that. She's well looked after. Of course, sir. We will offer every accommodation possible
00:03:44Thank You winners
00:03:46Look, I know it's not easy having me looking over your shoulder. Just try to remember. We're all on the same side here
00:03:52Thank you, sir
00:03:58This must be a hell of a storm of sending the big boss in it now, what do you mean?
00:04:03Now Chadwick wants to send in a specialist group from Noah
00:04:08That's bigger than Noah, yeah
00:04:13Yes, we'll see
00:04:16You know the nanomaterials showing real promise breaking up extreme storm patterns. Yeah, that's a silver iodide research, too
00:04:34It's gonna play a major role in preventing catastrophic storms. You know what? I'm picturing
00:04:39cover of science news
00:04:42I can see the headline already a storm killers
00:04:47You
00:04:51Hello colonel, dr. Sparks my intel is showing me that the Landsat readings for the willforce 3 are off the charts
00:04:57Yeah, we're pretty close by her. Would you like us to do a physical recon? I would
00:05:03Also, if there's any malfunction or even any new information, I'd very much like to have you report back to me as soon as possible
00:05:09dr. Sparks
00:05:11California coastline is a natural treasure
00:05:14I'll be damned if petroglyph takes a dump on my beaches
00:05:17Yes, colonel
00:05:19No, Chadwick wants us to stop by willforce 3 check it out
00:05:22He says the temperature is rising way too quickly on that rig
00:05:25I hope we get our sniffers down there before this storm moves in
00:05:28Yeah, me too. Colonel Chadwick already has his hands full with the storm preparation. Yeah, she doesn't need an offshore complication
00:05:34Yeah, I'll check it out. All right, dr. Sparks
00:05:37Yes
00:05:40Captain Whirly we need to change course for willforce 3
00:05:43We've got to turn back now. I do not like the looks of these guys. I don't like it either, but we have our orders
00:05:52Yeah, well, I've been navigating these waters for 20 years
00:05:55And I never seen nothing look like this
00:05:57Captain Whirly, it's closing fast. Prepare below. Captain Whirly
00:06:03Grab seas ahead. Go!
00:06:19Secure the hatches
00:06:27Get low!
00:06:29Go! Go!
00:06:43Seas on her beam edge!
00:06:53Man overboard!
00:06:58Man overboard!
00:07:08Winthers, can you hear me? What's happening? Where are you?
00:07:11Blowout. Are there any wounded?
00:07:14Joe and Paul were killed in a blast. Clegg is injured.
00:07:18Travis, you've got to get out of there now
00:07:22Travis, get out of there now!
00:07:25Travis, get out of there now!
00:07:29We got a punch through with methane
00:07:33Joe Paul and Bill Saunders were killed
00:07:36Clegg?
00:07:37He's wounded. I don't know his condition
00:07:40Are we out to the Lightman?
00:07:41We got 25 at zero and 50 at 100,000 PSI. That's enough pressure to cut through diamonds
00:07:47We got an active blowout preventer
00:07:49It'll take some time to disconnect from the Milo pipeline
00:07:51That storm's gonna be here in less than an hour. How long do you need?
00:07:54It'll be close. And in the meantime, we're dumping drilling fluid and methane
00:07:59Okay. Okay, reroute the fluids and put an end to that methane leak
00:08:03I don't want any more men killed
00:08:05Yes, sir
00:08:10Secure the equipment
00:08:12What's your reading?
00:08:13Well, the temperature differential is shot from 65 to 129 in a couple of hours
00:08:17They must have broken into molten lava
00:08:19Yeah, my reading's correct. That thing's a volcano
00:08:35Willforce 3 is in serious trouble
00:08:37I need to know what they're sitting on
00:08:41C-Rover to Willforce 3, come in please
00:08:44Willforce 3, come in
00:08:46Willforce 3 to C-Rover. State your communication
00:08:49This is Dr. Jenna Sparks. I'm a research meteorologist
00:08:52investigating the atmospheric condition around the rig
00:08:55I need to speak with your manager immediately
00:08:57Let me connect to the rig manager with her
00:09:00Operator
00:09:03Willforce 3, come in please
00:09:09Willforce 3, please come in
00:09:17What's happening down there?
00:09:19We hit some kind of molten deposit
00:09:21I'm worried about the stability of this rig
00:09:24Can you move?
00:09:25Yeah. Yeah, I...
00:09:27Listen, listen
00:09:29Generator turbines are still on
00:09:31I know. That methane is still leaking
00:09:34It should deactivate automatically
00:09:36I don't know. The electricians are troubleshooting
00:09:39It turned off. Auto shutdown
00:09:41I know. But you've got to move a little faster, can you?
00:09:44Because if that methane catches a spark, we're like toast
00:09:47Come on
00:09:49All right, all right. Let's go
00:09:58There she is
00:09:59Warm water, moist air. It's the devil's playground
00:10:02It's massive
00:10:04We've got less than half an hour to reach that rig
00:10:07We've got to go now
00:10:15Oh, man. Oh, man
00:10:17Come on. Come on
00:10:19Come on. Lean on me
00:10:21Generator
00:10:23This way, sir. Just a little further
00:10:25I smell. I smell
00:10:27We're almost there
00:10:29Come on. Come on
00:10:40Uncle Frank! Uncle Frank!
00:10:43Are you okay?
00:10:45Hey, can you hear me?
00:10:47Come on. Come on, get up
00:10:50Get up. Get up
00:11:05What was that?
00:11:06I don't know
00:11:09Ground has stopped
00:11:11Go into a nosedive
00:11:16Turbulence. Come on
00:11:25Come on. We need more pull-ups
00:11:27Almost
00:11:29Almost got it
00:11:39All right
00:11:41Nice light
00:11:48We've lost our generators. We're on fire
00:11:50We've got to evacuate now before that storm comes in
00:11:53Yes, sir
00:11:54Mobilize a lifeboat. Prepare for evacuation
00:12:03This man needs help now
00:12:05All right, I'm a medic. We'll get him to the chopper
00:12:08What happened to your friend?
00:12:10He's my uncle. There was an accident in the pub room
00:12:12Well, Dr. Cavanaugh will take good care of him
00:12:15I'm Dr. Jenna Sparks from the NOAA
00:12:17I need to speak to your rig manager. Now!
00:12:20Follow me
00:12:23I'm Travis Verden. I'm here at request of Colonel Chadwick's
00:12:26It's been pretty bad out here today
00:12:28What happened?
00:12:29We had a pocket of molten lava
00:12:31The heat from that rupture is creating an event
00:12:34What kind of event?
00:12:35The water is superheating, making the surrounding air highly unstable
00:12:39What does this mean to the rig?
00:12:42Can you handle a storm with the power of five Katrinas?
00:12:46One thousand miles per hour winds? I mean, how can that be?
00:12:49We're not in the tropics
00:12:51The warm water is creating cyclone conditions
00:12:53It's changing everything we know about the weather
00:13:00Travis, what happened in the pub room?
00:13:02Joe and Bill were killed in the blast. My uncle was badly wounded
00:13:05I got him prepped for evac
00:13:07Sorry to hear that
00:13:09What exactly happened in there?
00:13:11We had a pocket of magma, a lava blast that came up through the borehole
00:13:14Mr. Winters, Colonel Chadwick sent me to investigate
00:13:17I'm an atmospheric specialist
00:13:19The warm water is creating the first cyclone in California
00:13:23Cyclone?
00:13:24It's going to unleash a chain of events that's going to threaten the entire west coast
00:13:28What kind of events?
00:13:29It's going to be a storm like you've never seen before
00:13:32It's what we call a super cyclone
00:13:35Sir, I got over a hundred company men on this rig
00:13:38This storm will impact this rig in a matter of minutes
00:13:41Evacuate all non-essential personnel immediately
00:13:43I don't want anyone left on this rig other than the hazard team
00:13:46I'm on it
00:13:48Travis, we gotta get your uncle out of here
00:13:50He's in good hands. I'm staying. What do you need me to do to help?
00:13:52Travis, I know that you're here to help, but I am still the safety officer on this rig
00:13:56Now, this is my call. I am ordering you to leave
00:13:59Listen, I'm a structural engineer, Gary. Let me help you
00:14:02That's exactly why
00:14:04I can't think of anyone better to coordinate the crisis effort
00:14:07Now, Colonel Chadwick is a soldier, not an oil man
00:14:12Believe me, you'll do much better for me off this rig than on it
00:14:16Understood. I got your back
00:14:18Well, if we're going to get off this rig, we need to go now
00:14:20OK
00:14:26How is he?
00:14:32I had to put a tourniquet on his leg to stop the bleeding
00:14:34I can't feel my leg
00:14:36I can do more for him back at the Sea Rover
00:14:38Don't let me lose my leg
00:14:39You're in good hands. You're gonna be all right, Uncle
00:14:41Hang in there. Come on, let's go
00:14:43Oh, no
00:14:46We're on the leading edge of the storm
00:14:50We're all set back here
00:14:51OK. Hang on tight
00:14:57Sparks!
00:14:58If you are not here in five minutes, I am leaving
00:15:01I have lost crew, and I swear to God, I am not gonna lose anymore
00:15:04Do you hear me?
00:15:06Whirly, don't go anywhere
00:15:08We're on our way
00:15:26Come on!
00:15:46I'll meet you on the nav bridge
00:15:48All right
00:15:49Hey, Whirly, we got a wounded man here. I'll need to stitch him up
00:15:52Take him to the galley
00:15:54Use the big steel counter
00:15:56Make it quick! Come on, come on!
00:16:05All right, get him up on the table there
00:16:07Feet down at the end
00:16:18All right
00:16:19I'm gonna wash up and grab my bag
00:16:21OK
00:16:22I know
00:16:23I tried to stay, but uh...
00:16:25Gary ordered me off
00:16:27All right
00:16:28They're my family
00:16:29I spent my whole life
00:16:31On a rig
00:16:33My whole life
00:16:34I know
00:16:35I know
00:16:36I promise you, I'm gonna get the men help
00:16:39I promise you that, Uncle
00:16:41Look at me
00:16:42Look at me, filthy
00:16:45My whole life
00:16:46My whole life
00:16:49Dirty, dirty, dangerous job
00:16:54You
00:16:55Hey
00:16:57College
00:17:00Clean shirt
00:17:01Clean shirt
00:17:04I'm so proud of you
00:17:06I'm proud of you
00:17:07Thanks, Uncle
00:17:08Yeah
00:17:09I'm proud of you
00:17:14Hey
00:17:15Anything I can do?
00:17:17Yeah, Travis
00:17:19Terry, why don't you wait up on the nav bridge, OK?
00:17:21OK
00:17:22All right
00:17:23You all right?
00:17:27You might not hit it, right?
00:17:31I'll take good care of him, don't worry
00:17:33All right
00:17:41Can't we go any faster?
00:17:43No, we missed our chance to move fast
00:17:45Now it's chess game
00:17:47You see them big waves out there?
00:17:49The worst thing can happen
00:17:51Is we start to run down the face of one of them big ones
00:17:54Are they gonna swamp us?
00:17:56Hell no
00:17:57Not if I can help it
00:18:15How's your uncle?
00:18:16Doctors, he's still working on him
00:18:19Where's the storm?
00:18:21I'm sorry, Travis
00:18:23The storm's hitting Willforce 3 right now
00:18:25What?
00:18:38Scramble the rescue nets
00:18:41Do you see him?
00:18:45Yeah, the light is down
00:18:46Over there, over there
00:18:51Activate the transmitters
00:18:53Man overboard
00:18:59Man overboard
00:19:01Time to pull, quick turn, quick turn
00:19:08There's the strobe
00:19:16Help!
00:19:23No
00:19:27No!
00:19:29Stop it, Cy, now!
00:19:34The light boats are failing
00:19:36Pull back!
00:19:37Abandon the light boats!
00:19:45Come back!
00:19:55God, they're pulling alive
00:19:57Bring them back!
00:20:01Stop the evac, stop the evac!
00:20:03It's a bloodbath out there
00:20:08Where are the rescue helicopters?
00:20:10Even if they got the distress call, the storm's gotten too bad
00:20:13Only thing we can do now is try to plug the bunch through
00:20:16Okay, okay, shut the spacers and bypass the pressure gauges
00:20:20That's our only warning system
00:20:22We've got no choice
00:20:43Oh, God
00:21:14Oh, God
00:21:27Nobody
00:21:29Nobody
00:21:42Hey, Doc, how's my uncle doing?
00:21:45Well, I stitched him up, did the best I could
00:21:48Will he get to keep his leg?
00:21:50I'll be happier when we get him to a hospital
00:21:53Oh, man, I have never seen anything like this
00:21:57I gotta get those men off that rig
00:21:59We're racing ahead of the storm
00:22:01But it's gonna hit landfall at Point Conception in less than an hour
00:22:07Here she comes!
00:22:09Brace yourselves!
00:22:27Come on!
00:22:53We're breaking free
00:22:56This storm, it's moving way too fast
00:23:01Did that oil rig cause this whole damn thing?
00:23:07There's a super cyclone coming
00:23:09Millions of people are gonna die
00:23:17We're headed south, we broke free
00:23:19Oh, that's temporary
00:23:21It's only a matter of hours before it slams greater Los Angeles
00:23:24The National Weather Service has issued a severe pacific storm warning
00:23:27Prepare for damaging winds, storm surges and flash flooding
00:23:30There's no way for them to prepare for a storm of this size
00:23:35We've got to stop it
00:23:43We're just in
00:23:46Not for long, it's gonna be on us in about two hours
00:23:51Right up there
00:23:54There's Marina
00:23:56We may be able to use my nanotechnology research to stop the storm
00:24:17You okay, Uncle?
00:24:19Go, go
00:24:21I'm not gonna leave you
00:24:23All I can do for me is get our brothers off that rig
00:24:26I want to make sure you're gonna be okay
00:24:28If not you, then who?
00:24:32All right, you hang in there, you hear me?
00:24:35You too
00:24:37Thanks for saving my life, Doc
00:24:40Hey, I expect to see you walking on that next time I see you, all right?
00:24:44Let's get off this boat, we gotta get moving
00:24:53All right
00:25:14Can't reach the Petro-Cal headquarters
00:25:16All communication and data lines are out
00:25:19I'm sorry, Travis
00:25:21But the Willforce 3, it's in the eye of the storm now
00:25:24Look, I gotta help the men on the rig
00:25:26Travis, listen to me, listen to me
00:25:28The leading edge of the super cyclone has already made landfall at point conception
00:25:32It's taken out power grids, communication capabilities, transportation arteries
00:25:37And, I mean, that's just the tip of the iceberg
00:25:40I mean, once the full force of this storm hits the major population centres
00:25:45Look, you have to take me back, do you understand?
00:25:48No, you don't understand
00:25:50The last time I spoke with Colonel Chadwick, he still thinks that he can move these people out of danger
00:25:55Colonel Chadwick is the one that sent me to the Willforce 3, I should be there
00:25:59No, Travis, Camp Pendleton is the main command centre for this disaster
00:26:05They're gonna need all our expertise in order to deal with this super cyclone
00:26:09Lieutenant is right, we have to work together
00:26:13Look, if we stop this storm, then we can save the coast and your men on Willforce 3
00:26:22OK
00:26:23Alright, let's go then, alright? Come on
00:26:26OK
00:26:43We've got to stay ahead of the road closures
00:26:46The last thing I saw before the TV went out is that they're only closing down the beach cities
00:26:51Well, that's not enough
00:26:53I mean, the current emergency plan does not take into account a storm of this size
00:26:57Travelling so far inland
00:26:59And that's feeding warm water from a super volcano
00:27:03Doppler radar indicates this storm is capable of producing large hail, breaking windows and damaging houses
00:27:09Severe storm warnings remain in effect for the following counties
00:27:12Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Orange and San Diego
00:27:27The oil!
00:27:28Let's go!
00:27:29Let's go!
00:27:37Willforce 3 to Coast Guard Command, do you copy?
00:27:42Try another channel
00:27:43Mayday, mayday, this is the Willforce 3 deep water drill rig
00:27:48Do you copy?
00:27:50Channel 13, 14 and 15 are all dead
00:27:52Try channel 16
00:27:54Mayday, we are in need of immediate assistance
00:27:56There's nothing said, it's complete white noise
00:27:58Alex, give me something!
00:28:00We're completely isolated
00:28:01We're completely isolated
00:28:23Well, I've been running some calculations and I think we might be able to do something with your silver iodide nanoflakes
00:28:30Well, my first priority is to get the rescue effort underway
00:28:33Yeah, well, the Willforce 3 is key to this whole solution
00:28:36I mean, you were there
00:28:38I've never seen anything like it
00:28:39You know, we've been talking for years about climate change
00:28:42We just didn't think it would happen this fast
00:28:44Well, it looks like in less than an hour, Southern California is going to be hit with this super cyclone
00:28:53This is an apocalyptic weather event
00:28:55It's happening right now
00:29:01Hey, look out, look out!
00:29:07Yeah, that way, that way
00:29:09I can't see a thing
00:29:10The wind, it's kicking up mud
00:29:14Wait a minute, I don't think that's mud, that's oil
00:29:24The updrafts must be lifting this fluid from the Willforce 3
00:29:28Here it comes
00:29:37There, there, there
00:29:38Turn, turn down, turn down on that little road
00:29:40I can't, it's just getting too slippery
00:29:50Travis, we're headed for it
00:29:55We're in it
00:29:59We're in it
00:30:05Hold on to something!
00:30:28Hold on, hold on, hold on
00:30:59Whoa!
00:31:07Hey, Dr. Cab, you all right?
00:31:08Yeah, hit a bag in my knees pretty good, but I think I'm all right
00:31:11What happened?
00:31:12We were lifted in a rotating wall
00:31:14I never heard of tornadoes in California
00:31:17It's the super cyclone
00:31:18It's creating a low-pressure area, it's perfect for funnel clouds
00:31:23Where are we?
00:31:25My GPS is out, I got no bars
00:31:27You got any reception there?
00:31:28Nope
00:31:29You know, we gotta get going
00:31:31That super cyclone's gonna hit the coast any minute
00:31:33Yeah, come on
00:31:39Reporting damaging winds in excess of 200 miles per hour
00:31:42Stay away from coastline
00:31:44Severe storm warning is in effect
00:31:46Locations impacted include all beach cities
00:31:55I don't understand, it seems fine now
00:31:57Are we in the eye?
00:31:58No, it's the ring of convection
00:32:00It's what caused the upward vertical movement of air that lifted the SUV
00:32:04We don't have much time
00:32:05Yeah, the sooner we get out of the open, the better
00:32:07Where are we?
00:32:08No idea, but it looks like...
00:32:10Look
00:32:14Whoa!
00:32:15That's contumal lightning, here in California
00:32:19Wait a minute, the super cyclone is building up a huge electrical charge
00:32:25That's getting pretty close
00:32:27Yeah
00:32:28There's shelter, come on
00:32:29Yeah, come on, let's go, let's go
00:32:36In addition to large hail and damaging winds, continuous lightning is occurring with this storm
00:32:41Move indoors immediately
00:32:42If you hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning
00:32:45Advancing storm is impacting roads, homes and other vital infrastructure
00:32:51Storm blew us further away from Camp Pendleton
00:32:54Yeah, better keep moving then
00:32:56Yeah, we need to find a low-profile heavy vehicle
00:32:59It's not exactly low-profile, but it's close
00:33:02Yeah, a lot to do
00:33:03Yep
00:33:04Check this out
00:33:09Hello?
00:33:11Hello?
00:33:12Hey, anybody home?
00:33:14Hello there
00:33:15Hello?
00:33:16Hey, get away from my truck!
00:33:18What?
00:33:19Looters!
00:33:20We're not looters
00:33:21We're not looters
00:33:22We're not looters, we're with the government
00:33:23Same thing!
00:33:24Now get off of my property!
00:33:26We can't do that, sir
00:33:27Oh yes you can
00:33:29Now get gone!
00:33:30Come on
00:33:32Let me get that motherfucker!
00:33:33Hey, hey, hey, let go!
00:33:35Hey, hey, calm down, sir
00:33:37We're the solution here
00:33:39Who the hell do you think you are?
00:33:41Tell him
00:33:42Uh, we're, uh, we're with the NOAA
00:33:46That's right
00:33:47We need to borrow your truck
00:33:48National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association
00:33:51What the hell?
00:33:52Hey, got the keys?
00:33:53Hey, stop it!
00:33:54Look, we're sorry, we need to take your truck, okay?
00:33:55Just, uh, call that number and file a claim
00:33:58Call the number, okay?
00:33:59Come on, we need to move
00:34:00And thanks for the truck
00:34:02You're not welcome
00:34:03Sorry!
00:34:04And leave me my gun!
00:34:05Okay
00:34:06Have a good day
00:34:19What's the sitrep, Sergeant Major?
00:34:20Sir, FEMA's requesting assistance from Camp Pembleton
00:34:22What do they need?
00:34:23To use the base as a staging area for trucks and generators
00:34:26Anything else?
00:34:27They need men for sandbagging
00:34:28Send Bravo Company out to sandbag and let Transport know that we're expecting company
00:34:32Yes, sir
00:34:33Mayday, mayday, this is the Will Force 3, command, come in!
00:34:38Come in, Will Force 3!
00:34:42What's the status?
00:34:43Host teams are working
00:34:44I've got every available man spraying seawater at that fire
00:34:47Phone plug didn't work
00:34:48Well, I'm still moving
00:34:54This is crazy
00:34:56We're listing
00:34:57Now let's check the ballast
00:34:59It's not safe yet
00:35:00With the destabilized floor, the fire retardant foam and seawater are tipping the whole rig
00:35:06If we stop to rebalance the pontoons, the fire's gonna get out of control
00:35:10What are we gonna do?
00:35:11We're gonna do the same thing we're doing already
00:35:13We're gonna walk a very fine line between burning down and destabilizing
00:35:17How's the radio?
00:35:19I can't reach anybody
00:35:21It's like we're in some kind of a dead zone
00:35:23Well, it's like Dr Jenner said
00:35:25The temperature differentials must be off the scale
00:35:27So the punch through is causing the storm
00:35:30And where in the middle?
00:35:32Will Force 3 is in the eye of the storm
00:35:35Oh, saved our ass back there
00:35:38Man, you're prepared for anything
00:35:40What were you, a scout?
00:35:41Are you kidding?
00:35:42I'm about as far away from a Boy Scout as they are
00:35:45How'd you learn to handle a gun like that?
00:35:48I wasn't always this dashing heroic engineer, you know
00:35:52The closer we get to the coast, the worse this is gonna get
00:36:05How much time do you think we have before the full force of this storm hits the L.A. basin?
00:36:10Well, based on the 72-hour value for wind, plus forward motion
00:36:15Less than two hours
00:36:18Well, if we're gonna have any hope of stopping this storm
00:36:21We're gonna have to make our move before it gets too powerful to overtake
00:36:25We're gonna have to make our move before it gets too powerful to overtake
00:36:31We're gonna have to make our move before it gets too powerful to overcome
00:36:35How do we do that, huh?
00:36:37Well, it's hard to say for sure since nothing like this has ever been attempted
00:36:41What are you thinking, Doc?
00:36:43Well, I got the idea when I saw that voltaic arc form
00:36:47From the lightning strike?
00:36:49Yes, and your nanomaterials research
00:36:52Now, if we can deliver a payload of silver iodide anaflakes into the eye of the storm
00:36:57Ah, and use the electrical energy of the storm itself
00:37:01It'll generate a controlled lightning strike to disrupt the spinning vortex
00:37:05Exactly, and weaken the eye wall of the super cyclone
00:37:09Huh
00:37:10You think it'll work?
00:37:12Well, you know, this science is based on a very old weather control technique
00:37:16It's called cloud seeding
00:37:19Yeah, what about the rig? How can we save it?
00:37:22Well, that's where Colonel Chadwick comes in
00:37:28Go!
00:37:47Guardsmen have been deployed to sandbag, FEMA trucks are running around the clock
00:37:50Very good, Sergeant Major
00:37:53What is it, Miss Peters?
00:37:55I'm concerned about a report from Commander Grady
00:37:57He said that there's trouble with the Wolf Force 3
00:38:00What kind of trouble?
00:38:01They're on top of a volcano, sir
00:38:04They're mobilising a Hamilton class cutter, but there's no way they'll get there tonight
00:38:08You may have to clean up
00:38:10Those rigs can handle the apocalypse, we need to focus on the civilian effort
00:38:14Yes, sir
00:38:16Marine Corps personnel are making preparations for the storm impact
00:38:20Secure all loose debris and equipment
00:38:22Move immediately to an interior room of your house or business
00:38:25Catastrophic winds will make landfall inside Southern California population centres within the hour
00:38:37Lookout sizing
00:38:38Correct the dynamic positioning
00:38:40The balance control operator's dead
00:38:43Can you do it?
00:38:44In a simulator years ago
00:38:46I got 240 tonnes of seawater on the forward support column
00:38:49If I flood the wrong one, the rig goes down, we all die
00:38:52Alex, we're capsizing, you've got to
00:38:58Give me a minute
00:39:05I don't have a minute
00:39:07Which chamber?
00:39:08We're at 10 degree tilt, we're gonna flip
00:39:11Alex, you can do this
00:39:14Alex
00:39:18I'm releasing the chain locker now
00:39:20Dumping
00:39:24Dumping
00:39:33We're stabilising
00:39:37You did it
00:39:45Fire!
00:39:58Firefighters! Retreat!
00:40:01All hands fall back now!
00:40:04Retreat! Retreat!
00:40:14Sir, I've gotten some strange images from NASA
00:40:17What is that?
00:40:20The sky appears to be on fire, sir
00:40:23The phenomenon is heading inland now
00:40:26We expect landfall within the hour
00:40:29Where's my damn science advisor?
00:40:31Dr Jenna Sparks
00:40:32Get her on the phone
00:40:33Maybe she can explain to us why today is the day that the world chose to end
00:40:36Yes, sir
00:40:45Now!
00:40:47Look out, look out
00:40:48Go, go, drive as fast as you can, man, we can get past them
00:41:14Go, go, drive as fast as you can, man, we can get past them
00:41:40What is that?
00:41:44Go, get us out of here!
00:42:09I'm closing the vent.
00:42:10Stop the truck!
00:42:12Stop the truck!
00:42:17The car's on fire!
00:42:19The car is on fire! Stop the truck!
00:42:26Everything's on fire!
00:42:29Hey, I found a little fire extinguisher back here.
00:42:36Careful, careful!
00:42:37Careful!
00:42:47Hello! Hello!
00:42:49Dr. Sparks, can you hear us?
00:42:52Dr. Sparks!
00:42:57I had her for a second, but now it's dead.
00:42:59Dr. Sparks!
00:43:03Communications are down.
00:43:05Up here!
00:43:07Hey! Up here!
00:43:09Come on!
00:43:11Come on! Let's go!
00:43:27What's your assessment of all this, Dr. Flynn?
00:43:29Um...
00:43:33It appears to be a deposition of acidifying particles and gases,
00:43:36coming together to form...
00:43:39flaming hail, sir.
00:43:42Really?
00:43:44And what exactly is our emergency protocol for fire in Brimstone, doctor?
00:43:48Hide underground.
00:43:49Not during a flood.
00:43:52Um...
00:43:54With all due respect, sir,
00:43:56my specialty is analyzing polar ice core and computer images.
00:44:01It's really Dr. Sparks who...
00:44:03Dr. Sparks is unable to be contacted.
00:44:05Sir, I recommend we expand our evacuation and warning areas to the entire megaregion.
00:44:15I'm talking San Diego to Los Angeles to Ventura.
00:44:19It's all of Southern California.
00:44:22Where are these people supposed to evacuate to?
00:44:27We have to get them east of San Bernardino.
00:44:30That's 16 million people, sir.
00:44:33That's impossible!
00:44:35We're looking at a severe loss of life, with or without evacuation.
00:44:40Sir, Dr. Sparks and Kavanaugh have spent years studying these extreme events.
00:44:46Their research is the key to understanding what's going on.
00:44:49And understanding is the first step to a solution.
00:44:52So, if we were to just find them, then we would be...
00:44:55Thank you, Dr. Flynn.
00:44:57Sir, I have a special team here for you.
00:45:01What do you have?
00:45:02We got a GPS lock on her location.
00:45:04Dr. Sparks is east of Los Angeles, moving erratically.
00:45:07Traveling on foot.
00:45:08Bring her in!
00:45:09Yes, sir!
00:45:13Status reports on FEMA.
00:45:15Sir?
00:45:20Watch out!
00:45:22Up here!
00:45:23Come on!
00:45:26Up here!
00:45:30Come on!
00:45:31Up here!
00:45:37You're fine!
00:45:38Come on, guys!
00:45:49We can use a landline. Is yours working?
00:45:51Honey, I haven't had a landline since 2009.
00:45:54Come in. I can't imagine what you've been through.
00:45:56Yeah, thanks.
00:46:06What is it? Are you getting something?
00:46:08Hold on.
00:46:10Will Force 3 to Coast Guard. Come in.
00:46:15Coast Guard, do you copy?
00:46:17Will Force 3 mobilizing Hamilton class cutter immediately.
00:46:21They've heard us.
00:46:22It's Hamilton class. It's on its way.
00:46:25We need to get the fires under control before they get here.
00:46:27Use whatever resources you need.
00:46:35Thanks, Pam. Anything you have, a CB, a ham radio, anything we could use?
00:46:39No, I'm sorry. I don't have a radio. I don't have a phone.
00:46:42But my generator's supplying power. You could charge your phones and your computers.
00:46:45Yeah, that'll help a lot.
00:46:46Yeah, that'd be great.
00:46:47Yeah, my battery's almost completely gone.
00:46:49Can you charge mine, too?
00:46:50Yeah, I'm on it.
00:46:51Okay.
00:46:56Okay.
00:46:58All right.
00:47:06You got anything?
00:47:08No.
00:47:10Nothing.
00:47:12Hey.
00:47:14You okay?
00:47:16No. Not really.
00:47:19Come on.
00:47:21Everything's gonna be okay.
00:47:26I'm sorry.
00:47:30Hey.
00:47:32When we get out of this thing, you hear me?
00:47:36You mean if we ever get out of this thing?
00:47:44Hello?
00:47:45Yes, Cam Pendleton. This is Dr. Jenna Sparks.
00:47:48Hello? Hello?
00:47:50What'd he say?
00:47:51I don't know. I lost him.
00:47:53Hey, look. The hail has stopped.
00:47:57That means there's a break in the low-pressure updraft.
00:48:00This is our chance. Let's get out of here.
00:48:06Colonel Chadwick.
00:48:07What is it, Dr. Flynn? I'm trying to coordinate a rescue effort.
00:48:10It's the Big Tehunga Dam, sir. It's holding back over seven million gallons of water.
00:48:14The storm's overloaded it.
00:48:16Let me cancel these if it goes.
00:48:18These are very densely populated areas that are going to be completely overflooded.
00:48:23Over two million people.
00:48:27Commence evacuation immediately.
00:48:29Yes, sir.
00:48:41Over here. Make a left.
00:48:43Roger that.
00:48:45And around the debris.
00:48:47Copy that.
00:48:54Up the canyon.
00:48:57We're on the dam.
00:49:01Wait.
00:49:03What? What happened?
00:49:04Signal.
00:49:07Wait, there it is. We're on the dam. Turn.
00:49:15Hang on.
00:49:16Move.
00:49:45The dam is breached, sir.
00:49:51How many casualties?
00:49:53It's unknown.
00:49:54Search and rescue are on the way, sir.
00:49:57I'm sorry. We were just too late.
00:50:02I want maps and status reports of every dam and reservoir in Southern California.
00:50:06Yes, sir.
00:50:07And call the Army Corps of Engineers.
00:50:09Yes, sir.
00:50:10Where is my damn team?
00:50:16Here. Take this.
00:50:17That's way too much.
00:50:18You have to eat. Just take these at least.
00:50:22Well, it looks like the storm's giving us a break. We should go.
00:50:25Yeah, we better take advantage of it.
00:50:27Be safe.
00:50:28Thank you again.
00:50:41Flood warning.
00:50:59Emergency warning system.
00:51:01Widespread flooding has inundated portions of the 405, 110, 101 and 5 freeways, forcing major road closures.
00:51:07Do not drive in flooded areas or go around barricades.
00:51:11Storm ocean surge impact level has reached 43 feet.
00:51:15If you are in the path of the storm, take cover immediately.
00:51:22Status on the evacuation?
00:51:24The situation is not good, sir.
00:51:26Major arteries and freeways are completely blocked.
00:51:28What about public transportation?
00:51:30Caltrans is reporting that the high winds have knocked three trains off the tracks.
00:51:34People able to get out of the city?
00:51:36Sir, the 405, 110 and 10 are parking lots.
00:51:41People are getting out of their cars and running.
00:51:43Running to where?
00:51:44There's nowhere to run to, sir.
00:51:46What about emergency services?
00:51:47Hospitals are overwhelmed.
00:51:49Fires are burning out of control.
00:51:51We have over 10 million people without power and more every second.
00:51:55What's the governor saying about all this?
00:51:56Sir, he's mobilizing resources, but they just can't get here to help us fast enough.
00:52:00Word on the street?
00:52:02Sir, it's panic.
00:52:05People are scared, confused, and most of them armed.
00:52:08It's not a good combination.
00:52:26Sir, the president just declared a state of emergency.
00:52:30There are resources being mobilized, but we're not going to get any help until the storm is over.
00:52:35Over?
00:52:36This is just pre-storm turbulence.
00:52:38The storm hasn't even hit yet.
00:52:50How are we doing on fuel?
00:52:51We have a little less than a half a tank.
00:52:53That's enough.
00:52:55It better be.
00:52:56Yeah, well, it's going to take longer not to get a freeway.
00:52:58Every major artery in the city is jammed.
00:53:00Can you imagine what the I-5 looks like right now?
00:53:03Hell.
00:53:04Oh, hey, hey, over here.
00:53:06Turn, turn on 74.
00:53:07Hey, the National Forest.
00:53:08Yeah, it's going to take us out to the back end of the base.
00:53:10Perfect.
00:53:11Yeah.
00:53:12If we have any luck, a marine patrol might pick us up.
00:53:14Hmm.
00:53:15Yeah.
00:53:16Careful!
00:53:19I got it, I got it, I got it.
00:53:25What's going on with that tree?
00:53:27I don't know.
00:53:36Well, looks like it's starting to let up.
00:53:40The road got washed away.
00:53:42I'm going to have to go around it.
00:53:44All right, well, just take it carefully.
00:53:45Slow, slow.
00:53:49Travis.
00:53:50Travis, the road.
00:53:51Oh, back up, back up.
00:53:52I know.
00:53:53Drive, man.
00:53:55Okay, that's it.
00:53:56Okay, okay.
00:53:57We got to get out.
00:53:58We got to stop the car.
00:54:00Come on, let's go.
00:54:14Be careful.
00:54:17This way.
00:54:19Right over here, guys.
00:54:21I think we're going to make it across the tree.
00:54:23Come on.
00:54:28Come on, hurry.
00:54:29Grab my hand.
00:54:35Come on.
00:54:36Doc, let's go.
00:54:37Come on.
00:54:38Come on.
00:54:39Percy.
00:54:40You can make it.
00:54:41Come on.
00:54:42Hurry up, let's go.
00:54:43This way.
00:54:44Come on.
00:54:45Doc, come on.
00:54:46I can't reach it.
00:54:47I'm not going to make it.
00:54:48Doc, come on.
00:54:49You can do it.
00:54:50You can make it.
00:54:51I'm not going to make it.
00:54:52I can't reach.
00:54:53Doc.
00:54:54Doc.
00:54:57No.
00:55:00Jenna.
00:55:01He was just there.
00:55:02He's gone.
00:55:03He just vanished.
00:55:08Hamilton class, this is Will Force 3.
00:55:11Go ahead.
00:55:14Hamilton class, do you copy?
00:55:16Mayday, mayday.
00:55:18Will Force 3, come in.
00:55:20Hamilton class, this is Will Force 3 Installation Manager Gary Winters.
00:55:24Winters, this is Commander Jarvis of the U.S. Coast Guard Vessel Sherman.
00:55:28Do you require assistance?
00:55:29God, yes.
00:55:30We are on fire.
00:55:31I need to evacuate approximately 105 men.
00:55:34How far out are you?
00:55:35The Sherman will be on the scene in approximately 30 minutes.
00:55:37Begin staging for evacuation.
00:55:39Yes, sir.
00:55:41Get all hands on deck and prepare to evacuate immediately.
00:55:45We'll start with the wounded.
00:55:46Pull whatever guys you need.
00:55:48Grab firefighters if you have to.
00:55:50We're getting off this rig.
00:55:56No.
00:55:57No, this is a natural phenomenon.
00:56:01It's a massive sinkhole.
00:56:02Sinkhole? How?
00:56:06This bedrock, it's limestone.
00:56:08It's turned to mush.
00:56:09Yeah.
00:56:10The water from the storm, it's acidic.
00:56:12Oil and drilling fluids.
00:56:13Yeah, and it was draining into the ground and dissolving the bedrock.
00:56:17It's just like exactly what happened in Guatemala City.
00:56:20How far does it go?
00:56:21It's got to be 300 or 400 feet.
00:56:24Listen, we got to get out of here.
00:56:25We got to get back to the base.
00:56:26Come on.
00:56:27I can't believe he's gone.
00:56:28Come on.
00:56:34We're losing!
00:56:35We're capsizing!
00:56:36We're capsizing!
00:56:45Can I get some help over here?
00:56:48Winter, come in.
00:56:49There she is.
00:56:50There's the shuttle.
00:57:00Get all the wounded down to the lower deck.
00:57:02I want all hives and life jackets.
00:57:04What about the firefighters?
00:57:05We'll get everyone else off first, then they'll be the last off the rig.
00:57:07I don't want to take any chances.
00:57:08Good.
00:57:09Why has the radio gone dead?
00:57:11Where is she?
00:57:15What's that?
00:57:22I'm seeing this.
00:57:26Take cover!
00:57:30No, no!
00:57:35Travis, look!
00:57:36Hey, help!
00:57:37Hey!
00:57:38Hey, help!
00:57:40Hands up!
00:57:44You're trespassing on restricted property.
00:57:46Move.
00:57:47No, no, no, no.
00:57:48Let me explain.
00:57:49I'm Dr. Jenna Sparks.
00:57:51This is Travis Vernon.
00:57:52What'd we do?
00:57:53I'm placing both of you under arrest.
00:57:55For what?
00:57:56You're trespassing on a restricted area.
00:57:58Pull the bed down.
00:58:02Now hop up.
00:58:05Come on.
00:58:08Now you.
00:58:10Put those on her.
00:58:11Is this really necessary?
00:58:12Do it now!
00:58:24Now you put those on him.
00:58:26Behind his back.
00:58:29Look, where are you taking us?
00:58:31Fort Irwin.
00:58:32No, no, you have to take us to Camp Pendleton.
00:58:35Sorry, I'm taking you to Fort Irwin.
00:58:37Sir, she's trying to tell you what we've been through.
00:58:39Shut it.
00:58:42I have two intruders in custody.
00:58:44I'll bring them in now.
00:58:45Travis, he's taking us to the wrong base.
00:58:48My hands are too tight.
00:58:49What?
00:58:50You're gonna have to do it.
00:58:51Choke him out.
00:58:52What?
00:58:53Yeah, the element of surprise.
00:58:54Just get up behind him and stay in control, okay?
00:58:56You up for this?
00:58:57Base, do you copy?
00:58:58I'll just, I'll give you the nod, all right?
00:59:00Yeah.
00:59:03All right.
00:59:04Now slide up in the bed.
00:59:08What?
00:59:09I can't do it, my hands are too tight.
00:59:10You're gonna have to help me.
00:59:16Get up, get up!
00:59:18Come on, cut me loose!
00:59:19Okay.
00:59:20Cut me loose!
00:59:21Okay, okay, hold on.
00:59:22Cut me loose, I said!
00:59:28All right, loosen him.
00:59:29Loosen him, quick!
00:59:30Okay.
00:59:32Stand right there.
00:59:35All right.
00:59:36Okay.
00:59:37Now, very slowly, get on your radio
00:59:41and have them patch you to Colonel Chadwick.
00:59:45Do it now!
00:59:47I need an emergency patch through to Colonel Chadwick at Pendleton.
00:59:55Is that an affirmative?
00:59:57Then yes, bring Dr. Jenna Sparks here immediately.
01:00:00They're on the way.
01:00:02Okay.
01:00:15Structural support is losing integrity.
01:00:17Areas of the rig are already collapsing.
01:00:19How much time do we have?
01:00:21An hour, maybe two.
01:00:26What are our options?
01:00:28The Sherman...
01:00:30I don't even know what I saw out there.
01:00:32Our only hope is rescue.
01:00:34Alex, nobody's coming for us.
01:00:37We've got to fight if we want to save our own lives.
01:00:40Yes, sir.
01:00:43Now, is there anything that you can do to keep us out of that lava?
01:00:52The super cyclone is turning 16 million Southern Californians into refugees.
01:00:55There may be an option.
01:00:57If you have any ideas, Doctor, now is the time.
01:00:59It was Dr. Cavanaugh's theory, but I think I can explain it.
01:01:01This super cyclone is unique because its formation was created by man.
01:01:05How so?
01:01:06Travis, he can best explain what happened on that rig.
01:01:09The World Force Three was designed to drill deeper into the Earth's crust than any other rig had gone before.
01:01:13I mean, we knew there would be problems at first, but we never saw anything quite like this.
01:01:23So what exactly did happen out there?
01:01:26The drill pierced the Earth's crust, broke into the mantle, and penetrated the magma pocket.
01:01:32Then the lava flowed into the rig.
01:01:34You synthesized a super volcano.
01:01:37This new super volcano? It's bigger than Mauna Loa.
01:01:40So how does this volcano tie into the storm?
01:01:43The massive quantities of lava elevated the water temperature,
01:01:46which created a low-pressure vortex around the World Force Three.
01:01:50And now the atmosphere around the rig is highly unstable.
01:01:54And your solution?
01:01:56Well, if you can deliver a payload of silver iodide nanoflakes into the storm,
01:02:02we can generate a controlled lightning strike to break up the vortex.
01:02:06How do you propose we deliver this payload?
01:02:09Do you have any pilot who can navigate under these conditions?
01:02:12Dr. Sparks, you're talking about a suicide mission.
01:02:15No. You don't know that for sure.
01:02:17The hurricane hunters were able to...
01:02:19Those planes fly at 45,000 feet.
01:02:21You're talking about flying an F-16 directly into the eyewall of a storm.
01:02:25Colonel Chadwick, sir.
01:02:26Sergeant Major.
01:02:27Sir, I might have a man, a pilot, who can do the job.
01:02:31Who?
01:02:32Lieutenant Dave Connolly.
01:02:34Connolly?
01:02:35He's fresh from combat, sir, but I know he can do the job.
01:02:38He's an expert in maneuvering.
01:02:40He's just a kid.
01:02:42He's your only hope, sir.
01:02:52Find him.
01:02:54Make sure he knows the risks.
01:02:55This is volunteer only.
01:02:57Yes, sir.
01:03:14So, you need someone crazy, huh?
01:03:16Apparently.
01:03:17The payload is secure.
01:03:20When do I deploy?
01:03:21The nanoflakes must be released as you enter the eyewall of the storm.
01:03:25That's where the electrical charge is the strongest.
01:03:27How will I know?
01:03:28We'll track you on radar.
01:03:30We've established a high-frequency communication link.
01:03:32I'll give you the signal at the right time.
01:03:34I'm ready to do what needs to be done.
01:03:36Son, if you're successful, you'll save millions of lives.
01:03:38My whole family lives in Southern California, sir.
01:03:41Good luck, Lieutenant.
01:03:43Thank you, sir.
01:03:45Good luck, Lieutenant.
01:03:46Thank you, sir.
01:04:15Okay.
01:04:16He's entering the primary frontal boundary.
01:04:19Approaching target area.
01:04:21You're doing great, Lieutenant.
01:04:23You'll be entering the rain shield soon.
01:04:24It's going to get choppy.
01:04:26Roger.
01:04:28Once he can clear the spiral bands,
01:04:30you'll have a straight shot at the eyewall.
01:04:33Hey, what's going on with his radar tag?
01:04:37Lieutenant, come in.
01:04:40Connelly, can you hear me?
01:04:44What the fuck?
01:04:49Is there anything, anything we can do?
01:04:54We gather the men, we go to the highest ground.
01:04:57Abandon our foes.
01:04:59Go out fighting.
01:05:01Fighting's all we can do.
01:05:03Sir.
01:05:05Let's go.
01:05:15Eyeball.
01:05:20Snaps 16.
01:05:21Maybe there's another rescue attempt.
01:05:24Hold on.
01:05:33There, there he is.
01:05:36Connelly, do you read?
01:05:41Are you there?
01:05:42Yes, ma'am. I'm flying fast towards it.
01:05:45Great. Great.
01:05:46Connelly, you'll be approaching the target area
01:05:48in less than two minutes.
01:05:52Lieutenant, this is Travis Verdin.
01:05:54I'm an engineer from the Wolf Force III rig.
01:05:56Can you see her?
01:05:59There's something there, sir.
01:06:09Let's go.
01:06:12Take my hand.
01:06:13Hold me.
01:06:14I got you.
01:06:15Hold me.
01:06:16Don't let go. Don't let it go.
01:06:18No!
01:06:19No!
01:06:36Connelly, what do you see?
01:06:39Lake fire. Lava flare.
01:07:03I never thought it'd end like this.
01:07:06It's been an honor.
01:07:07You too, sir.
01:07:10I guess there are some fights you just don't win.
01:07:13We tried.
01:07:14Yes, sir.
01:07:17So how do we do this?
01:07:21Jump.
01:07:23I don't think I can do this, Connelly.
01:07:26Yeah, you can.
01:07:29Just let go.
01:07:35Come on!
01:07:38Come on!
01:07:43Come on!
01:07:52No!
01:08:06No!
01:08:15A few more seconds.
01:08:17Okay, Connelly.
01:08:19T-minus ten.
01:08:21Nine.
01:08:23Eight.
01:08:27Seven.
01:08:29Six.
01:08:31Five.
01:08:32Four.
01:08:33Three.
01:08:36No!
01:08:37Where's Trader Ten?
01:08:38Where's Connelly?
01:08:40The flare. He's gone.
01:08:42Connelly, come in. Connelly.
01:08:44Connelly, do you read?
01:08:46No.
01:08:48Oh, my God.
01:08:50He was our last hope.
01:08:54He was a hero.
01:08:55World Force Three. She's gone.
01:09:01Sir.
01:09:02The storm. It's moving inland.
01:09:11Sorry, but you've got to listen.
01:09:12There's got to be a man-made force powerful enough to stop this.
01:09:15If there's some way to convince our boys from Thule to drag an iceberg down here from Greenland,
01:09:19we're going to have to tell the General that the situation's fubar.
01:09:21Wait, wait, wait. I've got an idea.
01:09:22Dr. Sparks, I appreciate your enthusiasm,
01:09:25but I just had one of my top pilots fly an F-16 into a supervolcano for nothing.
01:09:30Colonel. Colonel, wait, please. You've got to listen.
01:09:33Bring in the generators.
01:09:34No, sir. Huntington Beach is out of commission.
01:09:37Colonel. Colonel. You have to listen.
01:09:40What, Dr. Sparks?
01:09:41We need to go on one more mission.
01:09:43Absolutely not. I'm not going to let another man fly to his death.
01:09:45You won't have to. I'll go, sir.
01:09:47Me, too.
01:09:50What kind of a mission are you guys talking about?
01:09:52We need to deprive the storm of its energy source.
01:09:55This storm is completely uncontrollable. You've seen that.
01:09:57We use liquid nitrogen.
01:09:59It'll form a plug, stop the flow of lava, and cool the water.
01:10:03How are we going to get liquid nitrogen to the site?
01:10:05We'll take it in a liquefied natural gas tanker.
01:10:08It's like a giant thermos with a pumping system.
01:10:10Where are we going to find one of these giant thermos tankers?
01:10:13Petrol Cow in Long Beach has one right now.
01:10:15Who's going to drive it?
01:10:16I will, sir.
01:10:18So how are you going to keep it from melting?
01:10:20The ocean currents are moving the lava to the east,
01:10:24so there's a small corridor of water that would allow the tanker passage,
01:10:27but it won't last long.
01:10:29Yeah, but if I can get in there with the tanker, I could deliver the payload.
01:10:33How are you going to get out?
01:10:34Chopper evac.
01:10:36I see.
01:10:39Using the size of the original borehole conduit
01:10:41and factoring in the expanse of the lava throat,
01:10:47135,000 cubic meters would generate a substantial plug.
01:10:51Yeah, a tank of Euclides would do it.
01:10:53And I'll be on the tanker monitoring the atmospheric conditions.
01:10:56I'll know exactly when the storm is destroyed.
01:10:59Is this a permanent solution?
01:11:00Yes, sir.
01:11:01Yes, permanent.
01:11:03Where are we going to find 135,000 cubic meters of liquid nitrogen?
01:11:07Vandenberg.
01:11:08They've got huge tanks of liquid nitrogen out there for the rocket launches, sir.
01:11:12And once the cool water sucks the energy out of the super cyclone,
01:11:16it'll be more like a thunderstorm rather than a hurricane.
01:11:21What do you think, sir?
01:11:26I think if you're wrong, most of the West Coast is going to die.
01:11:32Including us.
01:11:33Let's go.
01:11:51Colonel, once we arrive on site,
01:11:53the crew will have less than 15 minutes to deploy the LN.
01:11:56Before our window closes and the lava completely destroys,
01:11:59the tank is out of hold.
01:12:00I'll be controlling a laser-guided targeting system to navigate the payload drop,
01:12:04so we can make every second count.
01:12:06Chopper will be sure to evacuate unit team off the tanker before she goes down.
01:12:09Yeah, it's going to be a rough ride no matter how we time it.
01:12:12Yeah, well, we're cutting it very close, so we better get going.
01:12:15Yep, this is it. Good luck. Thank you.
01:12:17Hey, Travers, you control the nav and I'll take care of operations.
01:12:24What's the status?
01:12:25The Euclides is on his way, sir.
01:12:28They're going to thread the needle through that cooler water,
01:12:31even with a ship that size, sir.
01:12:35This storm is a monster.
01:12:46Yeah, Colonel, we're approaching target area.
01:12:53Crew, prepare to deploy liquid nitrogen.
01:12:57Open the valve and close the LN to the trailer.
01:13:18Travers, something's wrong. The hull is dissolving too quickly.
01:13:27The current is pulling us off course. We're losing our window.
01:13:33We're caught in a whirlpool. The current is pulling us under.
01:13:42Colonel, we're in trouble. Set the chopper now.
01:13:46Deploy rescue chopper now.
01:13:49Colonel? Colonel!
01:13:57Rescue chopper is en route, Jenna. It's en route.
01:14:01Position the sprayer and release the valve.
01:14:06It's too hot! It's too hot!
01:14:13Deploy the LN now!
01:14:16The temperatures are dropping.
01:14:29The hull's breached. But it's too soon. Something's wrong.
01:14:46She's on autopilot. She's circling with the whirlpool.
01:14:54Delivering the LN until she goes down.
01:14:58Something's definitely not right. Time to evacuate.
01:15:04All hands topside. We are evacuating.
01:15:08Prepare to abandon ship. Prepare to abandon ship.
01:15:12The temperatures are rising again. Okay, we gotta go now.
01:15:15Yeah, go topside and make sure all the men are accounted for.
01:15:20All right. Travers, don't be long. Okay, we don't have much time left.
01:15:42Travers, where are you?
01:15:46Travers, get up here!
01:15:49No, we gotta wait for him. There's one more man. Travers!
01:15:56Travers, can you hear me?
01:16:03No, there's one more man! Get us out of here!
01:16:07We can't leave him!
01:16:13Travers!
01:16:21The temperatures are normalizing.
01:16:24The storm's breaking up.
01:16:29Mobilize search and rescue. Get the governor on the phone.
01:16:32Is this over? Is this really over?
01:16:35Travers!
01:16:40Congratulations, Colonel.
01:16:43Total mistakes.
01:16:50The super cyclone's breaking up!
01:16:56I'm so sorry!
01:17:00Travers...
01:17:05Travers...
01:17:06Travers...
01:17:07Travers...
01:17:08Travers...
01:17:34Must have gotten pretty hairy on that tanker.
01:17:38Dr. Flynn, if you don't mind, I'd rather be alone.
01:17:44Okay, yeah. I totally understand.
01:17:49I'll just be below decks if you need me.
01:18:09Captain Quirley, ten o'clock. Do you see it?
01:18:14Yes, I do.
01:18:24What's going on?
01:18:25There's something out there.
01:18:26What is it?
01:18:27I don't know.
01:18:29I don't know what it is, but it's coming.
01:18:32What is it?
01:18:33I don't know.
01:18:35What's going on?
01:18:36There's something out there.
01:18:37What is it?
01:18:38I don't know, but we're gonna go closer to take a look.
01:18:49It's a person.
01:18:51Captain Quirley, do you see it?
01:18:54It's a person!

01:19:26It is him!
01:19:27Travers, it is you!
01:19:29He's alive.
01:19:30Go get some water and a blanket.
01:19:33You're gonna be fine. You're gonna be okay.
01:19:36Travers, can you hear me?
01:19:38Can you get up?
01:19:46Captain Quirley?
01:19:47Yeah, we got him.
01:19:48Take us back.
01:19:51Aye, aye, Dr. Sparks.

01:20:58Uh, actually, it's, um...
01:21:01a circumhorizontal arc.
01:21:03Yeah, it's the off-gassing of liquid nitrogen,
01:21:05and it creates these, um...
01:21:07plate-shaped crystals in the clouds.
01:21:10It's amazing, huh?
01:21:11Yeah.
01:21:16It's beautiful.
01:21:24Yeah.
