00:02We cannot divulge specifics, but what we can tell you is that we are preparing for a massive
00:07catastrophe that could cause an extinction level event for humanity in the very near,
00:12very real future.
00:17Listen, I know this all sounds pretty far-fetched, but you know when it won't seem far-fetched?
00:23In less than a decade, when a tsunami plunges the entire eastern seaboard of the United
00:27States underwater.
00:30Marsha, you want to come in here?
00:31Xavier's going to take me on a little walk.
00:34The minute Versailles called, you record the speech, we're escorted down, wait for confirmation
00:38of the safest route to Joint Base Andrews, then we're out.
00:41Collins, I think it's time you put your foot down with your wife.
00:45Trips to Atlanta are not as risk-free as they used to be.
00:49My wife hasn't listened to me for 20 years, sir.
00:52I guess we'll just have to go pick her up from there.
00:55Don't go.
00:57I love you, baby.
01:02See you in ten days.
01:06Your wife is alive out there, Xavier.
01:09And if you stop all this nonsense, I can help you find her.
01:21And now Bill Roberts reporting from the United Nations.
01:25The curtain goes up in what is hoped to be the final act of the nearly two-week-long drama
01:30that is the Cuban Missile Crisis.
01:32Today, Ambassador Adlai Stevenson addressed the United Nations Security Council.
01:37This resolution calls, as an interim measure under Article 40 of the Charter,
01:43for the immediate dismantling and withdrawal from Cuba of all missile and other offensive weapons.
01:50Leaders around the world rejoiced as a peaceful solution to...
01:59I didn't know you'd come home.
02:01We got intelligence an hour ago.
02:04The Soviet sub that was loaded with nukes was out of contact with Moscow.
02:09The one that turned around?
02:11Apparently, its last orders were to launch all missiles if cornered.
02:15The captain made the decision not to on his own.
02:20Jesus.
02:29It's gonna happen again, Miriam.
02:31It's goddamn inevitable.
02:40What if the wrong person's at the controls next time?
02:45What if the wrong person decides not to turn around?
02:49You're tired.
02:52Come to bed.
02:57You can't save the world tonight.
03:37You can't save the world tonight.
03:38You can't save the world tonight.
03:38You can save the world tonight.
03:38You can save the world tonight.
03:39You can save the world tonight.
03:39You can save the world tonight.
03:40You can save the world tonight.
03:42You can save the world tonight.
03:54Didn't you hear what I said?
03:57Your wife is alive.
03:59Bullshit.
04:00I'm not playing your games.
04:02Not bullshit, Agent Collins.
04:03Everything was destroyed.
04:05It's a nuclear winter out there.
04:06Which is exactly what we thought initially.
04:09The expedition, the four that didn't return.
04:15They didn't die because of the environment.
04:16They died because they were bringing a survivor back to the bunker.
04:21Which I ordered them not to do, by the way.
04:24And it was going to open a whole can of worms.
04:26And so I had to take care of them.
04:29My God, could I sound any more like a bomb villain?
04:32I swear I'm not a monster.
04:35Interesting how people who swear they aren't monsters usually are.
04:45The expedition set up shortwave transmitters so that we could communicate while they were outside.
04:52Transmitters are still active and I've been listening.
04:56My name is Cameron Middleton of Fainesville, Ohio.
04:59If Carla or Joseph Middleton are listening, please tell them I'm headed for the Colorado bunker.
05:05I'm looking for safe passages to Colorado.
05:08All straight campus is irradiated.
05:11Warming a community south of Paso Rojas.
05:13If you're listening, several members plan to set up camp there.
05:18People are alive.
05:22And they're looking for us.
05:23And I believe your wife is one of them.
05:28Don't.
05:29Don't you fucking dare.
05:31She was in Atlanta.
05:31It was a direct hit.
05:33It was unsurvivable.
05:35The president did something that day, Agent Colin.
05:38Something you don't know about.
05:39Not true.
05:39I was with him.
05:40I was with him that whole fucking horrible day.
05:44You don't know everything that happened?
05:45I was there!
05:46I was there!
05:51This is our continuing coverage of the situation that started in Antarctica and is causing unprecedented
05:56destruction and chaos around the globe.
05:59Here's what we do know right now.
06:01Just over three hours ago, what scientists are calling a massive mega caldera or super volcano
06:08erupted under the Antarctic ice sheet, expelling millions of tons of ash into the atmosphere.
06:13The force of the explosion shattered large portions of the ice shelf, instantly melting trillions of
06:21gallons of water and triggering a tsunami that is hurtling northward at nearly 600 miles an hour.
06:29Most disturbingly, some reports indicate the wave may be as high as 300 feet.
06:35In an unprecedented move, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has put all coastal
06:41areas of the United States on a tsunami watch with estimated landfall at Key West in two hours,
06:48and the nation's capital in five.
06:52Xavier?
06:53Adding to the chaos and the confusion is a stock market and freefall of a nationwide cell phone and internet
07:00Zavio.
07:02Are you guys here because of this?
07:04Why are you two stationed outside the cabinet room door?
07:07Don't ask me, ma'am.
07:08This is my third day here.
07:09Um, is this not normal, sir?
07:12Marsha, we're just doing what we're told.
07:14I have no additional information.
07:16That's Melbourne.
07:19Nancy Stanley lives there.
07:21Ashbridge Preparatory.
07:22Can you give me 20 seconds?
07:24Hi, Denise.
07:25This is Xavier Collins again.
07:26I'm just calling to reiterate how...
07:27Hello, Missy Xavier.
07:28No, I know.
07:29I know.
07:29But how important it is that James and Presti stay near Jeremy Bradford.
07:32You told me this before.
07:33I know.
07:34I'm sorry.
07:35But someone will be coming to get them.
07:37You know, actually, if you could just give them their phone so I could talk.
07:40Calls keep dropping.
07:41Goodbye, Mr. Collins.
07:43Fuck.
07:46Xavier, talk to me.
07:48What do you know?
07:49The cabinet gathered like there's some kind of plan in motion, and I heard the word for
07:53side.
07:54Marsha, I swear I would tell you.
07:56I mean, do I need to pick Edward up from daycare?
07:59He's got health issues.
08:01Talk to him.
08:02The president, I have been with him since his Senate campaign.
08:06Edward can't be left alone, okay?
08:08I'm going to talk to him.
08:09I will tell you everything that I find out.
08:10Hey, VP, come and speak up.
08:13Oh, my God.
08:16Classified.
08:17Sir, Mr. Vice President, I need a moment with the president.
08:21If you don't believe me.
08:22I need your communication with our counterpart.
08:23Russia's gone dark.
08:25Completely dark.
08:26Thank you, Henry.
08:27We know.
08:28Why don't you have a seat?
08:28Take a breather.
08:30It may be a Valium.
08:32Joint Chiefs are just walking us through it.
08:34General Kirtley?
08:35Yes, sir.
08:36As the vice president noted, Russia isn't picking up the red line.
08:41We're still trying to confirm if the Sabota Group Kureta was successful.
08:45Indications are that it was.
08:46CIA can confirm that.
08:49We also have confirmations of troop mobilizations to the Chinese border
08:52along the Argon and Amur rivers and Western Mongolia.
08:56It feels like they're setting up for a land grab, sir.
08:58And since we don't know all the players except for the Sabota Group leader...
09:02Chirkin, unpredictable, ruthless.
09:04Which I was about to say.
09:07It is the recommendation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that we move to DEFCON 3.
09:11This will set the Air Force readiness symbol up to 15 minutes.
09:15Christ.
09:16Okay, anything else?
09:17The UN Security Council is convening in two hours.
09:20NATO countries have been reaching out.
09:22Two hours?
09:22We lose Florida in two hours!
09:24I've said that before, but it was about the Electoral College.
09:29Okay.
09:31I mean, how bad is it?
09:33I want to know.
09:34I mean, I know it's bad, but honestly, is this it?
09:37Is it?
09:38Half the world leaders we're talking to say it's the end of the world.
09:40The others don't.
09:41The Tories in England say the volcano's too far away for them to be affected by it,
09:45and they live on a fucking island.
09:46It will most certainly affect them, sir.
09:49This appears to be it, Mr. President.
09:51It's what we've been preparing for.
09:52What about Australia?
09:54Anyone on the horn with Melbourne?
09:55I can't get anything.
09:57Melbourne is gone.
09:59Sorry, Henry.
10:01Nancy's entire family.
10:03As is Sydney.
10:05All coastal cities.
10:07New Zealand, gone.
10:09Argentina, apart from the mountain regions, effectively gone.
10:12Chile, South Africa.
10:14Need I go on?
10:16We need to make the call.
10:17Okay, where are my nerds?
10:19Scientists, come on, step two.
10:21You said we'd have a warning.
10:24Days or weeks, if this was the real thing.
10:26What the fuck happened?
10:28Mr. President, we thought we'd have warning,
10:30but this happened faster than the worst-case scenario in all of our modeling.
10:34That's a bunch of bullshit.
10:34Come on.
10:35We calculated that there'd be ten days from first seismic activity to eruption,
10:38but we had minutes.
10:40Sir!
10:41We are not making the wrong call here.
10:49Move us to DEFCON 3.
10:51Round the horn, go or no go over for Psy.
10:53Join chiefs.
10:54Go.
10:55Homeland security, go.
10:56Jesus Christ, we know our fucking title.
10:57Just give me your answers.
10:58Go.
10:58Go.
10:59Go.
10:59Go.
11:00Go.
11:01Go.
11:01Go.
11:02Go.
11:03Go.
11:03Go.
11:04Go.
11:04Go.
11:08Okay.
11:11I'm calling Versailles.
11:13So right now, a large wave is approaching Indonesia.
11:18Soon it'll head to the southern coast of India.
11:21So Dr. Lu's work, this will stop.
11:25When it's done, after rolling up to the North Pole and echoing back back to Antarctica maybe a dozen more
11:31times,
11:32anything under 300 feet above sea level will be inundated.
11:36You're not thinking about this correctly.
11:38It's not a wave.
11:40The Antarctic ice sea...
11:42My family's going to be calling.
11:44We treat with him through.
11:45Yes, Mr. Lu.
11:46Sir, can I have a minute?
11:47It's a go for Versailles.
11:51Ryan, on me.
11:54So when it's done, that's when it'll end.
12:08Are they taking down paintings?
12:10Boss, what the hell is Versailles?
12:12Is there anything I need to do?
12:13Your job is briefed.
12:14I'm on Wildcat, you're on me.
12:16Mr. President...
12:17Better get this tie off for me, it's too fucking cheerful.
12:20You know, I once read that neckties gave back to Serbian mercenaries in the 1600s or some shit.
12:25Let's do your job, okay?
12:27You can find something.
12:31Okay, let's go blue.
12:34It's a little more calming.
12:40All right, steps, what's next?
12:42Walk me through it.
12:44You record the speech, uh, we move down to Pioch, and when it's time, board Marine 1, the Joint Base
12:49Andrews.
12:50After that, I don't know.
12:51Are we going somewhere?
12:52Sir, if I may, I just need a word.
12:54Okay.
13:02Jakarta right now, where the wave is due to hit at any moment, is that correct?
13:07That is correct, Bob.
13:08What you can't see is the waterline, which is just beyond the city lights, has receded well over three miles
13:14out to sea.
13:15Do you think that's a safe place for you to be?
13:17We're at the top of a 20-story building on the north shore of the island, so we should...
13:22Oh, hi.
13:24Are you okay?
13:25Oh, I don't know if you can hear that.
13:28We just got hit with the massive, high-pressure sand wave that has been preceding the tsunami
13:33and wreaking havoc with air traffic throughout the southern hemisphere.
13:40It's quite painful.
13:45What?
13:49What's going on?
13:51What is that?
13:52Oh, my God!
13:53Get away from the end!
13:55Get away from the end!
13:56Get away from the end!
14:01Did we just...
14:02Did we lose her?
14:03Oh, my God.
14:04We lost Rebecca.
14:07Get back to her.
14:11What's happened?
14:12Daddy, what's going on?
14:13They're moving a few of us to another room.
14:15I think the president's kid.
14:16Good.
14:17Is James with you?
14:18Yeah?
14:18Good.
14:19He is not to leave your sight.
14:20Do you understand me?
14:21This is not a game.
14:21Okay.
14:22You do not let go of his hand, and you do not lose sight of Jeremy Bradford.
14:25But promise me...
14:25I promise.
14:26Where's Mom?
14:28I'm working on that.
14:29Daddy, people are freaking out.
14:31Miss Johnson fell in the stairs, and I don't think she's okay.
14:33Hey, listen to me.
14:35There's a plan.
14:36You're going to be fine.
14:37They're going to take you to an airport.
14:38I'll see you there.
14:39Okay, so we're Mom, okay?
14:42Shit.
14:43The plan?
14:45What airport?
14:45What do you know?
14:46Have you talked to Cal?
14:47A little.
14:48More soon, okay?
14:49Ryan.
14:50Xavier.
14:50Ryan.
14:52Xavier.
14:52Hitting the game, man.
14:54Guard the door.
15:02Okay.
15:03I mean, isn't this a little optimistic?
15:05It's important to keep the calm.
15:06This reads like we're prepping people for a goddamn snowstorm.
15:09When does this go out?
15:10Recording one hour until after we evacuate to Andrews.
15:13I'll leave the press corps to believe it's broadcasting live when we play it back.
15:16Yeah, I don't know, guys.
15:17It's important we keep to the plan.
15:19Keep people calm.
15:21Okay.
15:22Lose the strength and resilience repeat to the end.
15:24That pays off the whole structure.
15:25Riley, really?
15:26Today?
15:29Okay.
15:30Come on.
15:32Did you see that fucking wave?
15:35My family.
15:36About to load up to Andrews as we speak.
15:38Yeah, okay.
15:41Everyone.
15:42People!
15:43I'd like the room, please.
15:45Sir, we're on a timetable.
15:47I'll be ready to record in two.
15:49All right, folks.
15:50That's a real two minutes.
15:51That's a real two minutes.
15:52Yeah.
15:54Yeah.
15:55Yeah.
15:56Yeah.
15:57Yeah.
15:57of this time, Mr. Public Safety, that's why I'm calling.
16:00I'll go ahead and just prepare a quarter of that.
16:02That's what bullshit.
16:09Shoes off, please.
16:11Sir?
16:12It's the first thing I ever said to you when we met.
16:15Right here in this office. And you did it.
16:18It was so cute.
16:26Drink.
16:29It's like a reenactment of that day.
16:31Sir Terry is still in Atlanta.
16:35They had her on the first flight out, but the FAA grounded everything,
16:38which I just found out because her cell phone towers are overrun,
16:42calls are dropping, not getting through,
16:44so I didn't know for, like, the last ten minutes.
16:47Xavier, calm down.
16:47Now she's stuck there, and, um, you said that you were gonna get her a plane.
16:52Agent Collins, calm down.
16:54Where are your kids?
16:56At school, I think, with your son.
16:58Okay, then they're right where they need to be.
16:59They're gonna get picked up with the other Versailles kids.
17:01You're gonna see them on the plane, okay?
17:03And Terry.
17:07All right, let's get this done.
17:13Just the magic.
17:16Dr. General Kirtley.
17:17I'll get her here.
17:18Thank you, sir.
17:27Oh, shit.
17:32Hi, this is Dr. Terry Prush.
17:34And that's smoke in the air, for sure.
17:36We're working on it.
17:37We need confirmation now.
17:39General Kirtley, sir.
17:40A little busy.
17:40The President said I should talk to you.
17:46Make it fast.
17:47My wife was on a plane that was grounded.
17:49The President said that you could get her here, and I'm certainly hoping it's possible.
17:51Facts only.
17:53Where?
17:54Atlanta Airport.
17:55She don't know this for Versailles?
17:56Yes, sir.
17:57Dobbins ARB.
18:00Go with him?
18:00Yes, sir. Thank you.
18:01She needs to get to Dobbins Air Reserve Base.
18:03It's 25 miles from Hartsfield-Jackson.
18:06Does she have a car?
18:06I don't know.
18:07Her name?
18:08Terry Rogers Collins.
18:10She'll have gate clearance.
18:12Last transport is wheels up, one hour fifteen.
18:15Get her there.
18:15Thank you, sir.
18:16I need you to push her.
18:18Settle!
18:22That was too long.
18:28Have Tompkins covered me at the Oval Door?
18:30No.
18:35What do you mean?
18:36You're on point.
18:37Kids on you.
18:38POTUS is recording.
18:38I'm back in five.
18:39And recording.
18:42My fellow Americans, as you are undoubtedly aware, a catastrophe has befallen the Southern Hemisphere.
18:48And while the images from that part of the world are unsettling, it's important we remain calm.
18:54Because the tsunami moves fast, but fear moves faster.
18:58This will be a challenging moment.
19:00We believe that the damage from the weather event will be extensive.
19:10This is crazy, man.
19:13Yeah, my sister got one last one.
19:15Garcia.
19:16Can you believe this shit, ex?
19:18Why'd you pull up Tompkins?
19:19I need...
19:20Give me the fastest route to Dobbins Air Reserve Base from Hartsfield-Jackson.
19:23Fastest?
19:23The roads are red.
19:24It's for Terry.
19:24It's her only way out.
19:26On it.
19:27No more.
19:28I have an eye on it right now.
19:29Vectoring out.
19:30No more.
19:33No more.
19:34No more.
19:35No more.
19:35No more.
19:36No more.
19:36No more.
19:37I'm about to bring it up.
19:39Come on.
19:40Boss.
19:42What you got?
19:43Tell her to take Route 6 to Route 5 to Marietta.
19:45Stay off all freeways.
19:46Should take 45 minutes.
19:47Good man.
19:47And send back Tompkins.
19:49She's coordinating the choppers.
19:51Yeah.
19:52The United States has weathered many great challenges in the past and has always come through stronger.
19:56This will be no exception.
19:59When the dust clears from this tragic day, we will go forward as Americans.
20:04As a beacon of strength in a sometimes dark world.
20:10And God bless you all.
20:12Cut.
20:15Get this shit off of me.
20:17All right.
20:18Clear the room.
20:19Move it.
20:29Sir, we have confirmation of multiple interceptor clusters laddering down across the Russo-Chinese border.
20:35Guys, I was an English-led major.
20:38Russia and China exchanged fire, both air and ground across multiple fronts.
20:43Intelligence also indicates both sides are prepping nuclear action.
20:46But this is not unexpected.
20:47As briefed, governments will begin securing resources for what comes next.
20:55Okay.
20:56Tide rises, the tide falls.
20:58Yes, sir.
21:00There have also been explosions at two air bases in Denmark.
21:02Seemingly from inbound conventional missiles.
21:05From who?
21:05We don't know.
21:06But Denmark being NATO, if they invoke Article 5...
21:09We recommend moving to DEFCON 2, sir.
21:11...and maybe speed up EVAC to Andrews.
21:14We've been expecting climate activity down there for two years.
21:19Thanks to our new carbon emission.
21:22Ah, so now volcanoes are man-made, too.
21:25Rising global temperatures lessened the ice mass over the Antarctic.
21:29We know, from history, our actions allowed the crack to pop.
21:35So yes, I would say we played a fucking role.
21:39All right, we can keep it clean.
21:41We don't need that kind of language.
21:42Oh, we don't need that kind of language, Bob?
21:44You're high for a real disaster to say fuck or shit or kids.
21:50You know, Mr. Barkley, your oil company checks...
21:54Terry.
21:55Thank God, I've been trying.
21:57Where are you?
21:58Outside the airport, a bunch of us are walking.
22:00Listen to me.
22:01Um, you need to get to Darwin's air reserve base.
22:05Okay, but I don't know.
22:06Listen to me. Listen to me. I sent you the map.
22:08You take Route 6 till it meets Route 5 and take that to Marietta.
22:11Right? No freeways.
22:12They'll have your name at the gate, and they'll fly you here.
22:14You have just over an hour. It should be enough time.
22:16Repeat it back to me.
22:17Route 6 to Route 5 to Marietta.
22:20But, but, Xavier...
22:20Yeah, no. But no freeways.
22:22I don't have a car.
22:24Steal one.
22:25Xavier, how...
22:26...breeding some breaking news in Los Angeles.
22:28A record of catastrophic magnitude 8.9 earthquake has hit the smiling metropolis.
22:34We are seeing some images of destruction from the ground.
22:38I've been told the I-10 freeway has closed...
22:41The fuck is going on? It's like the world's coming apart.
22:44Back to the door.
22:48Back to Garcia. Thanks.
22:50We'll try to provide updates as...
22:52I need your help.
22:53Please. I know the president is helping you.
22:56And I don't care about myself. I need you to save Edward.
23:00My sister is dropping him off with his meds. Get him to safety.
23:03We have three right now inside and three more.
23:06The real issue...
23:07Promise me.
23:08...volcanic ash still bursting into our stratosphere, which will circle the globe and block out the sun.
23:15It's gonna be okay.
23:15Now that means no crops, no food, never ending winter.
23:20What happens then?
23:21I don't know.
23:23Why don't you ask a fucking dinosaur?
23:38Are we on, Bob? Is it just me here?
23:42No, we're on. We're gonna remain on as the decision really has been made by the brave women and men
23:47in this newsroom to continue our broadcast for...
23:51It's a clear path.
23:55Agent Xavier Collins?
23:56Yes, ma'am.
23:57Special Agent Robinson. In charge of you back.
23:59I'm Agent Ryan Noble. I'm...
24:00Agent Collins, after you've escorted the president to Pioch, the others will come down in shifts.
24:05You'll await my orders to move to Marine One. Understood?
24:09Agent Collins, am I boring you?
24:10No, ma'am. Escort Wildcat to Pioch, shifts, await orders. Understood.
24:14Uh, what about me?
24:16You'll stay here. Guarding the door.
24:18Mr. President. This way.
24:26Wait. Give me a sec.
24:27Sir. Sir, we need to move now.
24:32Right. Rainy. Perimeter.
24:37Get him.
24:39Mr. President, I need to get you to Pioch.
24:40Excuse me.
24:43It's Jeffrey, right?
24:45Mr. President, you know my name?
24:48Everyone knows your name. You've been here for nine administrations.
24:51Can I ask what you're doing?
24:53Making my rounds as best I can.
24:56People been leaving kind of a mess today. I guess they're all distracted.
25:00And you're not.
25:03It looks bad, but...
25:05When you get to be my age, you kind of seen it all before.
25:09Been here for 9-11, war, pandemics.
25:14Things always go back to normal.
25:16Mr. President, I must insist.
25:21I think you should call your family.
25:24It's different this time.
25:27With all respect, sir, I've heard them before.
25:30I'm seeing them for my granddaughter's birthday tomorrow.
25:33I'll talk to them then.
25:44Thank you, sir.
25:51This is not right.
25:53This isn't right. We gotta go back to the Oval.
25:55That is not the plan, sir.
25:56I don't give a shit about the plan.
25:57I want you to put me on TV right now, live.
25:59What?
26:01Non-essentials, stay here.
26:02Right.
26:02Ready.
26:03God damn it.
26:04Agent Janis, you hold your positions.
26:06What do you plan to say, sir?
26:07To be honest, pre-recorded speech was horse shit.
26:10We are not airing it.
26:11Do you understand me?
26:12People deserve to know what's really happening.
26:14They need a chance to say goodbye.
26:16Okay. We gotta go.
26:19The equipment's still up?
26:20Yes, but please don't do this, sir.
26:21We need to...
26:23We need to stick to the plan.
26:24We need to keep the calm.
26:26Listen.
26:26Sir.
26:27Cow!
26:27Get your fucking hands off me and put me on TV.
26:29Right now.
26:30Shit!
26:32Erica, alert the networks.
26:34Mr. President,
26:35you do not leave that room until I get back.
26:37Is that understood?
26:38Sir.
26:39Make sure all interior side doors to the Oval are locked.
26:43Ryan.
26:46Weapon's ready.
26:47You're cleared, HUD.
26:48Sir?
26:50Things might escalate.
26:54Stay calm.
26:56I'll be right back.
26:58We don't know who's going live now.
27:00All of them.
27:00All of them.
27:01All of them.
27:03You're Versailles?
27:04I am.
27:05I assume you are too.
27:06I prefer to come home, baby, pick up.
27:08Hi.
27:09This is Dr. Terry Buck.
27:10We got about five minutes before the president starts talking.
27:13I think this is gonna turn into a frenzy.
27:14It's already been a frenzy.
27:15It's about to become a fucking riot.
27:20No, no.
27:20Please.
27:21I don't need any of that.
27:22Or lighting.
27:23Or equipment.
27:24Just put me on air as quick as you can.
27:27Got a cup of coffee, please?
27:30Sure can use a cup of coffee.
27:39Roger that.
27:40He's cleared to enter.
27:41Back to you in two.
27:42Commander Hunter is beside two.
27:44Who?
27:45The guy with the football.
27:47What about Garcia?
27:48No idea.
28:01Let's get moving.
28:10It has been an honor serving you, Mr. President.
28:17The honor's mine, John.
28:21Best fucking hamburgers I've ever had.
28:32Okay.
28:33Okay.
28:33We're 30 seconds out.
28:36We are less than a minute from the president addressing the nation.
28:39We were alerted earlier this week.
28:43What's that for me?
28:45No one gets in.
28:46Meanwhile, so we were in the memory.
28:49One of other helicopters were hovering above the south lawn, and what appears to be the F-22 rafters are
28:55circling the airspace above the capital.
28:59And we're live in three.
29:12My fellow Americans.
29:19I know you're aware of the situation we now face.
29:25And I want to tell you the truth.
29:31Our modeling shows imminent worldwide disaster,
29:38including here at home.
29:43I'm telling you this so that you can make decisions
29:46based on where you want to be right now
29:49and who you want to be with.
29:54This position, Pel, I didn't always want it.
30:03I certainly didn't always like it.
30:08But it has...
30:12It's provided me access to people all over this country.
30:18And one thing that's constantly struck me is true,
30:22that despite all the ugliness in our world,
30:26despite our tendency to focus on the grotesque,
30:30on the conflict,
30:33despite all of that,
30:37you...
30:39you...
30:41are inherently decent.
30:45You love your families,
30:47your parents, your children.
30:51and...
30:57And I hope we can find that decency
30:59and that love now.
31:09And if I may be so bold,
31:13to all of you who have been helping to me personally,
31:20too many to name,
31:25I just want to say I love you.
31:33And, uh...
31:43God bless you and good luck.
31:48We're out.
31:50Move it!
31:52Here we go.
31:54On me.
31:57Excuse us.
31:58Wait a minute.
32:05I'm sorry, everyone.
32:08Mr. President,
32:10my sister is here with Edward.
32:12They're at the gate.
32:12Son, go get him.
32:13Marsha.
32:17I've been with you since the beginning.
32:20You told me everything was gonna be okay.
32:23I wish I could say something that would make this better,
32:25but I can't.
32:26I can't offer you safety.
32:28You can stay here if you want,
32:29but the truth is,
32:29it's not gonna help.
32:32Nothing is.
32:32Go home.
32:33And where are you going?
32:34Back off.
32:35How long did you...
32:36People, this is the cold reality.
32:38We need to ask for those willing
32:40to keep the White House secure
32:41until we can all get out.
32:43We'll continue to evacuate the room,
32:45but right now, your duty
32:46is to keep the President safe.
32:48And what about us, Todd?
32:49Huh?
32:50Back off!
32:52Calm down.
32:53I need you to calm down.
32:55Okay?
32:56Let's move him now!
32:57Hey, come on.
32:58Hey, come on.
32:59Come on.
32:59Let's go.
33:00Down the hall.
33:01Come on!
33:02You promised me.
33:04Marsha...
33:04The blood of my babies is gonna be...
33:06I couldn't do anything about it, Marsha.
33:08You understand that?
33:08You promised me!
33:09Oh, you have to...
33:11Hey, hey, whoa.
33:12Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
33:16Don't.
33:19Don't.
33:25Move.
33:26Come on.
33:27Come on.
33:32Shit.
33:42Forget the groups.
33:43Load in Wildcat.
33:49Inside. Come on. Come on.
33:56Go with the next one.
33:58Cover them.
34:00Stay where you are!
34:02You won't make me shoot!
34:03Fire!
34:13Thanks, Cal. I enjoyed that.
34:15Fuck you.
34:16It's the right thing to do.
34:18We're not out of this yet.
34:20Marine One took hits, then peeled off.
34:23Hits from who?
34:24Don't know, sir.
34:25People are surging onto the South Lawn.
34:27There's a CAT team waiting.
34:28You will load into the first gunship, then take off immediately.
34:31I'll go back up for the others.
34:33Do not wait for us.
34:37Move!
34:39Prepare for live fire.
34:40Go!
34:59Try it.
35:00I'll follow this.
35:07Mr. President, put this on.
35:12Here we go.
35:16Hold.
35:26Ready?
35:27Open the door.
35:35Yeah.
35:43Open the door.
35:49Move!
35:51Move!
35:51Keep them back!
36:01Go! Go!
36:02The football!
36:03Shit.
36:06No!
36:07No way!
36:07I don't get it!
36:13The airspace has been secured.
36:15You're clear for takeoff.
36:17Whoa!
36:18No!
36:20Your orders are to stay here!
36:21No! I'm going where you're going!
36:23You can't.
36:25I'm going where you're going!
36:27Ryan.
36:28What the fuck?
36:30He wasn't going to shoot me!
36:32Do your fucking job, agent!
36:34Go! Go!
36:36Let the other chopper go!
36:38Up! Up!
36:39Toilet with that chopper!
36:40Let's go!
36:45Shit!
36:47No!
36:49No!
36:50No!
36:51No!
36:53No!
36:55No!
36:57No!
36:58No!
37:00No!
37:02No!
37:03No!
37:08No!
37:11No!
37:12No!
37:13No!
37:13No!
37:13No!
37:13No!
37:14No!
37:14No!
37:15No!
37:16No!
37:20No!
37:33I'm going to let the commander be joined.
37:36... Others, free burn one.
37:38Say again.
37:39Congress, justices, free burn two.
37:41Captain, joint chiefs, others, free burn one.
37:46Let's go, let's go.
37:48Congress, justices, free burn two.
37:49Move.
37:50Captain, let's go.
37:55Hey, you're done.
37:56Okay, justices.
37:57David.
38:03I have to get her somehow.
38:05Come on, man, your kids are on board.
38:06Let's go.
38:06She's alone.
38:08I don't know where she is.
38:09I don't know who she's with.
38:10It's an impossible situation.
38:12Folks, let's go here.
38:13Let's go.
38:14I can't get on that plane without her.
38:16Xavier, look at me.
38:19Your kids need you.
38:21I need you.
38:24Let's go.
38:30When did you know she wasn't going to make it?
38:32Come on, let's move it.
38:37You told me she was still in Atlanta.
38:44She was there because she didn't know what was coming.
38:46Why didn't you tell me what was coming?
38:48I tried.
38:49No.
38:49I did.
38:50I tried.
38:50You hinted?
38:50Right?
38:51You danced around?
38:52There was no urgency?
38:53We didn't know how fast it was going to escalate.
38:55Right.
38:56But I see your family is here.
39:00Careful.
39:01I would have kept her close.
39:03I would have prepared.
39:05People would have prepared.
39:07But instead, you played this game.
39:09I did my best.
39:10Your best?
39:11Yes, in an impossible situation.
39:12Are you just afraid because you told everybody that the world was in it 10 minutes ago?
39:16You should have told us all 10 years ago.
39:18This is not my fault.
39:19Look at what you let happen.
39:21That's enough.
39:24If you don't want to see it on that plane, there's roughly 8 billion people on this planet who will
39:28fucking take it.
39:32Your wife is gone, and I'm sorry, but you need to process that.
39:37And go be with your children because they just lost their mother.
39:41Sir.
39:43Sir.
39:44We have to go.
39:49Are you coming or not?
39:51I don't know what to do.
39:56Yeah, you do.
40:10Each of you have been given a packet of information and a wrist device that is paired specifically to you.
40:16We'll be taking off for Colorado momentarily.
40:25Daddy, Daddy, I thought you didn't make it.
40:28No, no, I'm here.
40:31Stand up.
40:33Where's Mommy?
40:38Is she okay?
40:49Mommy?
40:50Where's Mommy?
40:51Where's Mom?
40:53Okay.
41:06Help me.
41:11Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves.
41:13We're about to encounter the high-pressure sound waves.
41:16Oh, man, go get in your seat.
41:18Go get in your seat, though.
41:20Hold on.
41:21Get ready.
41:21Hold on.
41:22I got it.
41:26What's going on?
41:27Okay.
41:30Okay.
41:37Really?
41:38What's happening?
41:39What was that?
41:40What's happening?
41:41One of the planes went down.
41:43What was that?
41:45What's happening?
41:47Why not?
41:50Why not?
41:53Come on.
41:55Come on.
41:55Come on.
41:56Come on.
42:29I'm sorry.
42:37I've been told this might break through to a cell phone.
42:44You can use the liaison office.
42:50Sir, if you need it upstairs, it's the Joy Chiefs.
43:11Mr. President, Freebird 2 went down with a pressure wave.
43:14That's the Justice of Congress.
43:16Todd.
43:21General, what do you have?
43:23Sir, as predicted, several nuclear devices have just launched.
43:26One headed towards India and another targeting what we believe will be Denver, Colorado.
43:30Are they aiming for us?
43:31We don't know.
43:32You don't know?
43:33Our intelligence networks are breaking down, sir.
43:35All we know is it's headed your way.
43:37There have also been two nuclear detonations around the Mongolian border.
43:40It's starting, sir.
43:42That's why it's the consensus of the Joint Chiefs that we fire our arsenal.
43:45Christ, at who?
43:47All nuclear powers, full-scale attack.
43:49We must prevent any attack on the bunker location at all costs.
43:52It's our only chance for survival.
43:53For those of us on this call, what about everyone else out there?
43:57Sir, we're not saying this to spare ourselves.
44:00Our plan is going to make it to the bunker if we do damage from the pressure wave.
44:03We're putting down outside St. Louis.
44:05Mr. President, we do not come to this lightly.
44:08That eruption is going to destroy supply chains and crop production.
44:12Every nation on the planet with a military understands this.
44:16And they will act to protect themselves against possible incursions, knowing that we will do the same.
44:23Mr. President, you must launch.
44:25Once the ash cloud covers our skies, we cannot guarantee luck to these.
44:30Enter the code, sir, and we are a go.
44:37Understood.
44:39Good luck, gentlemen.
44:41I am taking a second in my office.
45:16When the team ran our scenario through thousands of models, it always told us the same thing.
45:22Yeah, what was that?
45:23The eruption of the Antarctic supervolcano would lead to nuclear war.
45:30Lovely.
45:36You know, when I became president, the first thing I asked about Hand of God was the secrets.
45:47Aliens.
45:48Who killed JFK, Bigfoot, and there was nothing.
45:52I mean, little things, but really nothing.
45:57I was so disappointed.
45:59But then...
46:02I was briefed on this little guy.
46:05The nuclear football.
46:08The device that allows the commander-in-chief to unilaterally launch America's entire nuclear arsenal.
46:15No two-person system.
46:18Just me.
46:20And the Redcoats.
46:24I enter this, and we are off to the racists.
46:29But basically everybody knows about the football.
46:32What nobody, except the president knows, is what else it can do.
46:43If I enter the blue code.
46:46It turns out, after the Cuban Missile Crisis, some colonel had an idea to create a switch.
46:52An ultimate fail-safe.
46:55A linked array of global EMPs in satellites, submarines, missiles, you name it, that would fry every electronic circuit on
47:07Earth.
47:08And microwaves, computers, even its own satellites.
47:16But it would also disable the nukes, maybe even in mid-air.
47:23It's a switch that would shut off the world.
47:27Unfortunately, it would also take the planet back 500 years.
47:33But that was better than the alternate.
47:37Because it would give people a chance.
47:42You can't be considering this.
47:49Flight deck.
47:51How long till we land?
47:5220 minutes, Mr. President.
47:57There should be more than enough time.
48:00Takes a while to shut down the whole world.
48:05With any luck, we'll be in the mountain by then.
48:10All those people will die anyway.
48:15It's more humane to let it happen in a bright flash than to let them all starve over the course
48:19of a year.
48:20They need a chance.
48:23We need a chance.
48:26The bunker relies on outside sensors for communication, for the safety of the city, so that we know when it's
48:31safe out there.
48:33We will be blind.
48:35We will be vulnerable.
48:36Samantha.
48:38I ain't launching the missiles.
48:41But I am going to do this.
48:48Stop.
48:49Stop.
48:50Stop.
48:51Please.
48:52We are humanity's last hope.
48:55Well, maybe the thing won't work.
48:58That'll be all.
49:01Agent Rainey, if she doesn't move, shoot her.
49:15Don't ask her.
49:16Pick her up.
49:23Hang in.

49:45Pot, where are you?
49:46Where are you?
49:48Make it. I'm so sorry.

50:09The kids, are they safe? We're safe.
50:11They're safe. We're safe.
50:12Uh, they're taking us somewhere safe.
50:15Where?
50:17Um, Colorado.
50:19Somewhere, somewhere in Colorado.
50:40Maybe this isn't me. This might cut out.
50:45Tell them it's okay to be happy, okay?
50:50The mommy loves them, whether I'm there or not.
50:55I will, baby. I will.

52:59Nuclear holocaust was at least partially avoided.
53:02And no missiles hit Atlanta.
53:05You can't know that for sure.
53:07People are rebuilding, finding ways to communicate.
53:11A secondary route to Denver, Colorado.
53:14Marching area outside of Atlanta.
53:16I'm looking for my husband, St. Pierre Collins,
53:19my children, Presley and James.
53:21They were headed for a complex in Colorado.
53:24Once again, my name is Terry Rogers Collins.
53:27I'm here with other survivors,
53:29searching for our loved ones.
53:31If you know the whereabouts of St. Pierre Collins,
53:34tell him I love him.
53:42Where is she?
53:43How do I find her?
53:52Let me just make one quick call,
53:56and you can shoot me to your heart's content.
54:05Tavern.
54:08You might want to check on your daughter.
54:14Hey, Mark.
54:16Xavier put Presley on the line?
54:19She's not here.
54:22Yeah, what'd you say?
54:23She's not here, man.
54:24I don't know what happened.
54:25I just checked the back room, and she's just gone.
54:31The DNA from Cal's murder didn't match anyone in the bunker.
54:38It appears our killer came from the outside.
54:43What did you do to my daughter?
54:49You will release my people.
54:51You will return my arsenal of weapons,
54:54and you will find out who murdered the president.
54:57And you will return this place to fucking normal
55:00if you ever want to see your daughter or your wife again.
55:11Maybe I am a monster.
55:31Maybe I am a monster.
55:46More people are on the inside.
55:46Maybe you will see her, and too.
55:46It's all bad.
55:47No you want to sit here.
55:47Yeah, there's the poignant
