00:30Percebilean casualties
00:32Dark Winter has revealed how vulnerable we've become
00:36Our lifestyle, our security, our safety
00:40Depends on a delicate and unstable economy
00:42We've created a system so complicated that we no longer understand how to control it
00:48Oil, power, shipping, transport
00:53We live in a complex world
00:55And the more complex it gets, the more fragile it becomes
01:01The system is built on a global supply chain that gets things where they're needed, just in time
01:06We've created a house of cards
01:09Remove just one, and everything falls apart
01:13And what's fueling this system?
01:16Money
01:17Americans can spend 90 billion dollars in a single day of shopping
01:22Last year, 200 million people swarmed their local stores on November 23rd
01:27We call that day, Black Friday
01:32Did you know that a flu virus can survive on the surface of a banknote for up to 17 days?
01:41One day, there will be a pandemic
01:43It could begin during the crush of Black Friday sales
01:46A pathogen will jump from tainted banknotes to human skin
01:50Onto food, toys, children, and loved ones
01:54By the time patient zero feels the first sore throat
01:57Millions of people will already be infected
02:01From this point, the breakdown will happen fast
02:03Day one, hospitals will reach capacity
02:07Panic will strike
02:08Day two, quarantine zones will be established
02:11Resources will be rationed
02:13Transport will go into lockdown
02:15Day three, international trade will stop
02:18The oil will dry out
02:20The stock market will collapse
02:22Day four, the power will fail
02:25The shells will be empty
02:26The taps will run dry
02:28And once hunger and despair take hold
02:31People will do anything for survival
02:33By day five, everyone will be a potential threat
02:40In 2007, a new presidential directive was signed quietly into law
02:45This maps out the government's response to a crisis
02:48A plan to cope with a real dark winter
02:51It is known as Directive 51
02:53There are rumors of shadow agencies
02:56Sleeper cells
02:57Covert agents
02:59But nothing can be confirmed
03:01Our complex world is primed for breakdown
03:04And once the chaos strikes
03:06There won't be resources to save us all
03:08The only question left is
03:11What will it take to save what remains?
03:27To be continued...
