00:01:01The rock-dormant last year last erupted in 1783, ultimately killing over six million people.
00:01:07The ash cloud is beginning to spread east towards the UK and Europe beyond.
00:01:19Are these figures just preliminary?
00:01:23Yes. The eruption began only 50 minutes ago.
00:01:26And yet, it's exactly as we predicted.
00:01:30Twelve kilometer high plumes.
00:01:32Two thousand tons of ash per second, multiple earthquakes.
00:01:36This is going to carry on for a few days.
00:01:39We'd better start revising the model.
00:01:41We'll need data from the other sites as well.
00:01:44Call the monitoring stations. I want facts before I call the authorities.
00:01:49You really think this is it?
00:01:51If the data holds to the model, I think it is.
00:02:03Oh, really? Again?
00:02:06What's up, Perkins?
00:02:08Iceland's erupted again.
00:02:10It's an annual event, apparently.
00:02:12First, it was Aja Tjartla Jurgel.
00:02:14Then Grimsvartner.
00:02:16And now, Laka Gia.
00:02:18Wonderful language skills you have.
00:02:20Be careful. You've got a posting there.
00:02:22So, how bad?
00:02:23Probably the strongest yet.
00:02:25It only happened about an hour ago.
00:02:27It's already reached an altitude of 17 kilometers.
00:02:2917 kilometers?
00:02:31You know, that really is rather bad.
00:02:32What's the spread?
00:02:34Winds aren't too strong.
00:02:36All right. Keep me posted.
00:02:39Oh, one moment.
00:02:41What's happening with that little storm system in the northwest Atlantic?
00:02:44Oh, it's gathering strength.
00:02:46Temperature's down 12 degrees.
00:02:48Pressure's down by 214 millibars.
00:02:51If that crosses the ash cloud, it'll make rather a mess.
00:02:54Yes, it will.
00:02:56All right.
00:02:57If there's even the possibility of a major grounding,
00:03:00the sooner people know, the better.
00:03:02Spread the good news.
00:03:03Will do, Colonel.
00:03:08Thank you, Control.
00:03:09This is 1765 out.
00:03:12What was all that about an ash cloud?
00:03:14Not much, I hope.
00:03:16Marova NB-1765.
00:03:18Reduce altitude to 30,000 feet and report.
00:03:22Roger that, Control.
00:03:231765, reducing altitude.
00:03:28Oh, there it is.
00:03:29The coast.
00:03:31Oh, this septad isle.
00:03:33This blessed plot.
00:03:35What's that?
00:03:37Shakespeare, darling.
00:03:38Oh, right. Of course.
00:03:40Lucky you're so handsome.
00:03:44Why are they having you reduce altitude?
00:03:46Oh, I'm sure it's just an air traffic issue.
00:03:49Control, this is 1765.
00:03:51We're at 30,000 feet.
00:03:54Roger, 1765.
00:03:55Stand by for further instructions.
00:03:56Roger that.
00:03:57Four years ago, my team built a model predicting Icelandic volcanic activity and this morning's
00:04:03eruption hues almost exactly to the parameters established in that model.
00:04:08The amount of ash and lava, the 5.5 magnitude earthquake.
00:04:13Consequently, we believe the second phase we predicted will shortly begin.
00:04:18A series of Lind eruptions throughout northern and central Europe.
00:04:23What we're going to see is the seismic activity of one volcano triggering the next along the
00:04:28fault lines at the edge of the tectonic plate.
00:04:30You can't be serious.
00:04:32Germany.
00:04:34Italy.
00:04:35France.
00:04:37Greece.
00:04:39It could be a matter of days, if not hours.
00:04:42Oh my God.
00:04:44Dr. Kahn.
00:04:45This has to be a matter of days.
00:04:48Please.
00:04:49This must be a matter of days.
00:04:50Please, no one wants to cause a panic.
00:04:53But you should begin making arrangements to move people from the affected areas.
00:04:58And what exactly are the affected areas?
00:05:02Approximately 83% of the European landmass.
00:05:07You're okay, right?
00:05:08I mean, this isn't a 747.
00:05:10Champagne, caviar, and all that fancy stuff.
00:05:12No, this is fun.
00:05:14It's romantic.
00:05:15It's just the two of us.
00:05:17Oh, great.
00:05:17My ex didn't like flying in small planes.
00:05:20It's our loss.
00:05:21Mm-hmm.
00:05:23What about you?
00:05:24Not wishing this was a fighter jet?
00:05:26Hey, I'll have you know, young lady.
00:05:28I flew E-3s.
00:05:30Great.
00:05:31You know what I meant.
00:05:33Are you sure you don't miss the Air Force?
00:05:35I don't miss the Air Force.
00:05:36I've had enough danger for one lifetime.
00:05:38Now it's just quality time.
00:05:39Quality romantic time with my new beautiful wife.
00:05:44You're sweet, but you don't have to keep selling.
00:05:46I'm already here.
00:05:47I'm not selling you.
00:05:49I just find it unbelievable sometimes.
00:05:54Kids are going to love you.
00:05:55Hmm, maybe.
00:05:56They will.
00:05:57Well, I won't take it personally if they're resentful.
00:05:59One-seven-six-five, you're en route to Père-Lé-Bouchet.
00:06:02Roger that control.
00:06:04I'm afraid all non-emergency air traffic is being grounded immediately due to atmospheric conditions.
00:06:09You'll have to land at London City.
00:06:11Control, we could be in Paris in less than an hour.
00:06:13That's negative one-seven-six-five.
00:06:16Reduce altitude to 25,000 feet and report.
00:06:19Roger that control.
00:06:20One-seven-six-five reducing altitude.
00:06:22I don't see any cloud.
00:06:24Must be coming in faster than expected.
00:06:28The temperature's dropping.
00:06:29Look at the altimeter.
00:06:31There's a barometric abnormality.
00:06:35Maybe it is just as well we're landing.
00:06:37You think the kids are going to be okay?
00:06:39No, they'll be fine.
00:06:39This must be all over the news.
00:06:41Still, you should check in.
00:06:43I'll give them a call when we land.
00:06:51When that cloud's going to reach us.
00:06:53I'll play not until Dad and what's-her-name get here.
00:06:58Lacey.
00:06:59Whatever.
00:07:01Okay, so we have four.
00:07:03We have five stops until we get to the Gare de l'Est.
00:07:07Then we've got to take a bus to the airport.
00:07:10Or should we just take a train?
00:07:14Ryan.
00:07:17Hello, Ryan.
00:07:18It's like the friggin' end of the world coming.
00:07:21Can you stop being a perv long enough to pay attention?
00:07:23There's nothing perverted about admiring a beautiful woman.
00:07:26It is when you do it to every single woman that walks by.
00:07:29It's Paris, you know?
00:07:31I mean, the whole reason I'm going to grad school here
00:07:33is to experience another culture.
00:07:35Right, and I thought it was because every single woman in America
00:07:38has shot you down.
00:07:42Anyway, it's probably not the end of the world.
00:07:44It's just an ash cloud.
00:07:45It's like when that Iajil...
00:07:48Whatever, however you pronounce it, went off a few years back.
00:07:50They just canceled some flights, and that was the end of it.
00:07:53Do you think it'll affect Dad's flight?
00:07:55Let's hope not.
00:08:01Man, you know, I really got to visit that thing before I graduate.
00:08:04What?
00:08:04You haven't been to the Eiffel Tower?
00:08:07Oh, my God, Ryan, what is wrong with you?
00:08:10Such a loser.
00:08:12You know, Taryn, you really might consider being nicer to me.
00:08:15You really think Mom and Dad would have let you transfer to the Parsons program here
00:08:18if I wasn't already in Paris?
00:08:20Their little girl?
00:08:21All alone in a foreign country?
00:08:24No way, especially with your history.
00:08:27I don't need a babysitter.
00:08:28I'm fine.
00:08:29In fact, I'm doing great.
00:08:33So glad to hear it.
00:08:35That's why I want to get to the airport.
00:08:37Not on time, but early.
00:08:39I want Dad to see that I'm not this little girl anymore,
00:08:41and this semester has matured me.
00:08:46So he'll pony up for the summer session?
00:08:48I just want him to be proud of me.
00:08:50Even though he is midlife crisis-y.
00:08:53Taryn.
00:08:54What?
00:08:54The ink's not even dry on the divorce,
00:08:56and he runs off and marries some random chick.
00:08:59Mom left him.
00:09:00What do you want him to do,
00:09:01is sit around crying and apologizing for the rest of his life?
00:09:04Yeah, sounds about right.
00:09:06How many nights did Mom spend crying and alone?
00:09:09The guy's a pilot.
00:09:10Of course he's going to have to...
00:09:11You know what?
00:09:12We're not doing this.
00:09:13You and I are not going to have our little version
00:09:15of the same fight Mom and Dad had for 20 years.
00:09:17They divorced.
00:09:18Dad remarried.
00:09:20Yeah.
00:09:20Some chicky new five minutes.
00:09:22Who's my age.
00:09:23That's worse.
00:09:25She's older.
00:09:26Still.
00:09:29Well, we're still doing all right on time.
00:09:30I mean, they probably haven't even in England yet, so...
00:09:32All right, I just don't want to take any chances.
00:09:35You know how Dad is about punctuality.
00:09:38If we're late, we're grounded.
00:09:41All right.
00:09:43Control, this is 1765.
00:09:45We're at 20,000 feet.
00:09:47Roger, 1765.
00:09:49Switch to 119.725 for London City.
00:09:52Roger that, Control.
00:09:54Good luck, 765.
00:09:56Thank you, Control.
00:09:57This is 1765.
00:09:58Out.
00:10:31We've been hearing that a new volcanic eruption has been produced in the south of Italy.
00:10:39This time it's the Ethna mountain that has entered into eruption.
00:10:42Breaking news from Europe where a fourth volcanic eruption has shaken the Greek island of Santorini.
00:10:47Long thought to be inactive, today's explosion was accompanied by violent earthquakes and the luminous ash,
00:10:53which due to the mountain's great elevation is...
00:10:55...is a real eruption in Italy, Greece and Turkey.
00:11:08The cities, Canarias, and Spain are the last country to suffer the terrible disaster.
00:11:13Already over 30,000 feet high and spreading more than 20 miles to the north.
00:11:18The city of Theralys and ruins, with more than 3,000 dead, have been caught.
00:11:22The Volcan La Cumbre Vieja, did activity last time in 19...
00:11:26...the Hoster of Ophie M.
00:11:28...and the E3 can make water, so that's how the club come and hold them.
00:11:31The floor is headed towards the sea.
00:11:33The other regions have formed an invisible danger in the form of the surface.
00:11:37All kinds of gash. Formed some 3,600 years ago by what scientists call it.
00:11:42Luckily the region is badly populated, but as the ash clouds have multiple eruptions...
00:11:46...has left the city in ruins, since thousands have disappeared due to an emergency of destruction.
00:11:51There's already over a billion tons of magma ejected.
00:11:55Two billion tons of ash.
00:11:57That's within parameters.
00:11:59But the sulfur dioxide, more than two billion tons so far, and already 7% drop in temperature.
00:12:05Don't you see what's happening here?
00:12:08We have to revise the model.
00:12:15There's 33% more ash in the atmosphere than our model predicted, and it's spreading faster than predicted as well.
00:12:23We're revising our projections as we speak, but it's essential for you to prepare for the new reality.
00:12:29Which is what exactly?
00:12:32The temperatures will also drop faster than predicted. It's going to get very cold very quickly.
00:12:37In about 20 minutes, I have the exact...
00:12:39You've already been mistaken, Doc. How do we know you're correct now?
00:12:42New data is just coming in as we speak, but I don't think you should wait for the revised model
00:12:47to take action.
00:12:49I don't know. Jeez.
00:12:50We'll have to get back to you, Doctor.
00:12:54Thank you, sir.
00:12:56Anna?
00:12:58Yes, Doctor?
00:12:59Get me Colonel Deloitte at the Guylant Kitchen Airbase, will you?
00:13:03Right away.
00:13:06London City Control, this is Marava NB1765 for an unscheduled landing.
00:13:11We've got your 765. Make your heading 122.5 degrees. Reduce altitude to 12,000 feet.
00:13:17Roger that, Control. I'm sure they're going to be late anywhere, Tiram. Probably got sidetracked by a couple fancy boutiques.
00:13:24You know you should go easy on her. She's at a tough age.
00:13:27She's always at a tough age.
00:13:29Girls, we're complicated.
00:13:31Yeah.
00:13:32For what I'm paying for that school.
00:13:34Jesus, look at that thing.
00:13:36Whoa.
00:13:38Maybe it's a good thing we're landing.
00:13:40But then how do we get to Paris?
00:13:42One crisis at a time.
00:13:45London Control. This is 1765. We're at 12,000 feet.
00:13:54Yes, I'll be on my way, Colonel, and I will explain more in detail when I arrive at the base.
00:13:59But in the meantime, I don't think we can afford to wait for the authorities to take action.
00:14:04Doctor, I do not understand.
00:14:07The multiple eruptions and earthquakes are linked, Colonel.
00:14:11There's far more magma, ash, and sulfur dioxide being released than predicted.
00:14:15And the result is something.
00:14:18Something we've never seen before.
00:14:20The model I sent you should help explain it.
00:14:23You have it open?
00:14:24Yes, yes, I've got the model open.
00:14:27Then you should be able to see the fault lines which exist along the edges of the tectonic plate.
00:14:33Okay.
00:14:34Would you please get me a warm air jacket and a clean shirt?
00:14:39Sir, about that, Colonel, as I was saying...
00:14:41Do you mind if I put you on speakerphone for a moment?
00:14:43Of course not.
00:14:46As I was saying, it was a massive tectonic shift in the mid-Atlantic rift under Iceland that caused the
00:14:51chain reaction of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions across the continent.
00:14:55But currently, the ash clouds from these separate eruptions are merging and spreading as one through the atmosphere.
00:15:00And because the clouds are blocking out the sun, temperatures are falling?
00:15:05Yes, but due to the pre-existing storm system in the North Atlantic, the glacial melt has increased exponentially.
00:15:14Look, how can that be? Temperatures falling? Glaciers melting? Surely that means the temperatures are rising?
00:15:22No, because the chemical makeup of organic debris sends increased sulfide levels into the atmosphere, thus increasing precipitation.
00:15:31All right, all right. Well, how long is it going to take before this cloud dissipates?
00:15:36Click the blue tab on the model, will you?
00:15:39Well, the cloud is projected to block the sun for the next 18 to 24 months at least.
00:15:45All the time temperatures will continue to plummet. Is it snowing there yet?
00:15:50What?
00:15:53No, no, no, no, it's not. Good. It's only a matter of time.
00:16:00Doctor, how much snow are we talking about here?
00:16:03Given the enormous amount of moisture rising into the atmosphere...
00:16:08Look, we're still working on the model for that. I should be ready by the time I reach the base.
00:16:12Will that do?
00:16:13Yes, of course. Wait, one moment, Doctor. Let me be quite clear about this. What you're saying is that this
00:16:22storm will persist for a matter of years.
00:16:26What is going to happen to Europe? I mean, how much of Europe is going to remain habitable?
00:16:32I don't wish to engage in hyperbole, Colonel. I'm receiving new data just right now. I really have to get
00:16:38back to you.
00:16:42Have we heard from headquarters lately?
00:16:47I think we should give them a little call.
00:16:51And, um...
00:16:52I'd like to review the emergency protocols.
00:16:55If this thing is going to go pear-shaped, I think we ought to be prepared.
00:17:00See to it.
00:17:06The tectonic shifts causing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Iceland and the European continent are also affecting the Arctic Circle.
00:17:14Scientists in Mamansk report glacial breaks as long as 10 kilometers, while experts from the Baird Polar Research Center estimate
00:17:21that rising sea level from rapidly melting polar ice will flood coastal cities in Scandinavia and beyond.
00:17:29Residents of those areas are advised to move inland as quickly as possible to ensure their own safety and to
00:17:34allow government officials to make preparations against this global phenomenon.
00:17:51It's cold as hell out there. We didn't pack for this weather.
00:17:54There's no signal.
00:17:56I'm going to try this satellite film. We should call the kids.
00:17:58Well, why don't we wait and figure out a game plan here.
00:18:02Why don't you call them?
00:18:08Got a little nippy, huh?
00:18:09Yeah. It'll be warm in the metro.
00:18:13Oh, my God! Dad!
00:18:15Must be calling from the plane.
00:18:16Hi, Dad. Hey, look. We're just getting in the metro right now, so...
00:18:19Hey, Ryan. Hold on a second. Listen, we won't be landing in Le Beauje. We had to land in London
00:18:23because of the ash cloud. Has it gotten there yet?
00:18:27No, it's not, but it's coming. It's cold and it's dark in the middle of the day. You guys okay?
00:18:32Yeah, we're fine. How are you guys doing? How's Taryn?
00:18:34She's great. Want to say hi?
00:18:36Hey, Dad.
00:18:37Hello, Taryn. Would you put me on the speakerphone, hon?
00:18:40Okay.
00:18:42Listen, guys, we're going to be grounded here in London for a few days because of the weather, so why
00:18:46don't you hold up in the apartment, and then after it clears up, we'll reconnect. How's that?
00:18:51Okay. Yeah, sounds good.
00:18:52Hey, tell Lacey we say hi.
00:18:54Oh, hi, guys. Can't wait to meet you.
00:18:55Us, too. Us, too.
00:18:57All right, guys. We'll talk in a couple days.
00:18:59Bye.
00:18:59Bye.
00:19:00Bye.
00:19:01Oh, you're so sweet.
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:04Kiss-ass.
00:19:05What?
00:19:06You're a kiss-ass.
00:19:07Kiss-ass? I was trying to be nice.
00:19:12So what's the plan?
00:19:13The plan is we get a nice hotel room and start our honeymoon right now.
00:19:18You know, if the planes are going to be grounded, then the roads and the trains are going to be
00:19:22packed, so...
00:19:22Mm-hmm.
00:19:23Maybe we should head to Paris right now.
00:19:26Right now?
00:19:27Yeah.
00:19:28Right now?
00:19:29Mm-hmm.
00:19:31Good idea.
00:19:32Okay, I'll rent us a car and you book us a ticket on the Eurotown.
00:19:35Sounds good.
00:19:35Okay.
00:19:35Maybe on the way we could get some winter gear for us and the kids.
00:19:39Well, that's a good idea.
00:19:40Yeah?
00:19:40Okay.
00:19:41Let's go to the market before we go home.
00:19:43If there's a storm coming, we'll be good to stock up.
00:19:46Sure.
00:19:49Taryn?
00:19:53I guess that's the ash cloud.
00:19:56I guess it is.
00:19:59Oof.
00:20:01Did you feel that?
00:20:02It just got really cold.
00:20:04Yeah, weird.
00:20:05Let's get going.
00:20:06Yeah.
00:20:10Oof.
00:20:11Oof.
00:20:13Oof.
00:20:14Oof.
00:20:16Oof.
00:20:17C'mon.
00:20:18C'mon!
00:20:18Ah!
00:20:27Ryan!
00:20:28Ryan, Ryan, are you okay?
00:20:30I think so.
00:20:31Nice going to you.
00:20:34Oh, soccer kicks football's ass.
00:20:38Okay, come on.
00:20:39It's not safe.
00:20:42Come on, we've got to get out of here.
00:20:48Any luck?
00:20:49No.
00:20:51But I've gotten to hear, do you really want to hurt me 87 times?
00:20:55I will never look at poor George the same way again.
00:20:59This weather's a mess.
00:21:00Why don't we just get a motel for the night and we'll get an early start in the morning?
00:21:04Steve, why is it me who's pushing you to see a kid?
00:21:07Why?
00:21:07Shouldn't this be all your idea?
00:21:09Well, I guess it should be.
00:21:12I guess I have to get used to thinking like a good parent.
00:21:15It's going to be a little difficult considering I was always told that I was such a bad husband.
00:21:20Well, it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:21:22It does.
00:21:23Or not work.
00:21:25Listen, I love you and I know you're a good man.
00:21:33God, I can't believe it's snowing.
00:21:37Check the radio, see what's going on.
00:21:39Okay.
00:21:40Potentially the worst snowstorm since 1908, when more than 26 inches fell over three days in April.
00:21:46Currently in London, the temperature is below zero and dropping steadily.
00:21:50Dozens of cities around the nation are without power, but we will continue to broadcast as long as we are
00:21:56able.
00:21:58This can't be right.
00:22:00How certain are you?
00:22:02The projection is based on current data.
00:22:0516 inches of ash will cover Europe?
00:22:08The sun will be blocked out by this cloud for two years?
00:22:14Earthquakes, aftershocks, temperatures will fall below zero and remain there,
00:22:19and snow will continue to fall more or less continuously for the next 22 months.
00:22:26My God, man, this is an unimaginable catastrophe.
00:22:31What's the situation, Colonel?
00:22:33Like I said, I don't like to engage in hyperbole.
00:22:38Hyperbole?
00:22:40Hyperbole!
00:22:40Hey, good God, man, if these projections are correct,
00:22:43Europe and a large portion of the Northern Hemisphere have just entered into a new ice age.
00:22:54Since the hail stopped, do you want to head home or go to the market?
00:22:57Just do both.
00:22:58Let's go get some heavier boots, jackets, stock up on food and water,
00:23:01and then haul up in the flat like Dad said, okay?
00:23:04Okay.
00:23:05Sounds like a plan.
00:23:07Wait.
00:23:10Ryan, what did you do?
00:23:12You're such a good luck.
00:23:13I didn't do anything.
00:23:14Maybe it's the metro?
00:23:15Look.
00:23:16Okay.
00:23:29I don't understand why there's just...
00:23:37Ryan!
00:23:38Really quick!
00:23:39What?
00:23:40Ryan!
00:23:57What?
00:23:57Come with me.
00:23:59No, no, no, it's fine.
00:24:00No, come, come.
00:24:01It's not safe here.
00:24:02No, no, no.
00:24:03My brother!
00:24:04Ryan!
00:24:04He's fucking over there.
00:24:06My brother's there.
00:24:07He's probably dead, but I can save you.
00:24:09I have houses in the country.
00:24:10Let me go!
00:24:10Are you panicking?
00:24:12You want to come with me?
00:24:13Let me go!
00:24:13Come on!
00:24:14Okay.
00:24:14If you insist.
00:24:16Oh!
00:24:17Asshole.
00:24:20Ryan!
00:24:26Ryan!
00:24:27You okay?
00:24:30Taryn?
00:24:31You okay?
00:24:32I asked you first.
00:24:34I asked you first.
00:24:34Oh, that sucked.
00:24:36I think I hit my head.
00:24:38I got hit on by some crazy French guy in the middle of this earthquake or whatever it is.
00:24:44Another earthquake.
00:24:48My house!
00:24:51We gotta get out of here.
00:24:53Let's go.
00:25:03You think the earthquakes are related to the ash club or the volcanoes?
00:25:06I don't know.
00:25:07We should keep moving.
00:25:08Where are we gonna go?
00:25:10I don't know.
00:25:10With the embassy?
00:25:11They gotta have some kind of emergency plan to protect American citizens.
00:25:14Oh, my God.
00:25:14It's so cold.
00:25:16What are we gonna do?
00:25:17Ryan, I'm scared.
00:25:19I'm really scared.
00:25:20Be scared later.
00:25:25Oh, my God.
00:25:27Ryan!
00:25:28It's okay.
00:25:29It's okay.
00:25:32Oh, my God!
00:25:33Go!
00:25:33Go!
00:25:34Go!
00:25:34Go!
00:25:35Go!
00:25:44You think it's over?
00:25:46I don't know.
00:25:47It feels like it's just beginning.
00:25:48Oh, my God.
00:25:50Oh, my God.
00:25:53Look at that.
00:25:54Totally smashed.
00:25:57Does your phone work?
00:26:01There's no signal.
00:26:03Maybe at the embassy.
00:26:05It's near the Place de la Concorde.
00:26:08At least the earthquakes have stopped.
00:26:10Yeah, for now.
00:26:11Let's go.
00:26:13Preliminary reports put the Tembler at 8.4 on the Richter scale.
00:26:18Hospitals are overwhelmed with wounded, and thousands are still unaccounted for in the sudden wreckage littering Paris.
00:26:24While the city has seen minor earthquakes in its history, never has they mean anything of this severity.
00:26:30Even the Italian quake of 1908 was only 7.5 magnitude.
00:26:36Okay, I'm calling the kids again.
00:26:37No, no, no.
00:26:38I got another idea.
00:26:39Okay.
00:26:39Who are we calling?
00:26:40Colonel Ralph Dillard.
00:26:42We served together in Desert Storm.
00:26:43He's with NATO now, and he's commander of Guilin Kersh.
00:26:46He'll know what's going on.
00:26:49Dillon.
00:26:49Ralph, Steve Foster here.
00:26:52Steve, this is not a good time to talk, I'm afraid.
00:26:55No, I understand that, sir.
00:26:56I'm in England, and my kids are in Paris.
00:26:58Paris?
00:27:00Have you spoken to them?
00:27:01Yeah, about three hours ago, but not since the earthquake, sir.
00:27:04My dear fellow, I am so sorry.
00:27:06No, no, no, that's all right.
00:27:07They're smart kids.
00:27:09They're probably all right, I'm sure.
00:27:10Oh, yes, of course.
00:27:11I didn't mean...
00:27:14We're headed to Paris right now.
00:27:16How are you getting there?
00:27:18We're going to the Eurotunnel.
00:27:19Put the car in the train.
00:27:20Have you made a booking?
00:27:21No, we can't get through.
00:27:22All right.
00:27:23I may be able to help you there.
00:27:25What's your ETA?
00:27:26Little over an hour or so, depending on weather and traffic.
00:27:28All right.
00:27:29I'm in Germany, but I've got a friend of mine.
00:27:32Hey, folks, sir.
00:27:32Thanks, Ralph.
00:27:34What about the kids?
00:27:35What's that?
00:27:35The kids.
00:27:36We haven't spoken with them since before the earthquake.
00:27:39They don't know we're coming,
00:27:41and we don't know where they're at.
00:27:43Well, the good news is that the mobile phone system in Paris is still working.
00:27:48It's crowded, but keep trying,
00:27:50and you may get through.
00:27:52What's the bad news?
00:27:53More earthquakes?
00:27:54No, the earthquakes are the least of our problems.
00:27:56Then what's the bigger problem?
00:27:59Look, Steve.
00:28:00This ash cloud, combined with a freak storm
00:28:03and some circumstances that I don't fully understand,
00:28:07anyway, the longer the shorter of it is this.
00:28:09The cold is going to get colder,
00:28:12and the snow is going to get deeper.
00:28:15Tell me there's a way out of this, Colonel.
00:28:18Steve.
00:28:20Europe is finished.
00:28:22This is a global crisis.
00:28:24Now think back on your emergency protocols.
00:28:27They're executing Operation Down Under.
00:28:31We're going to evac more than later personnel
00:28:33and their families to Australia.
00:28:35I will have C-160s leaving every two hours
00:28:39for the next ten hours.
00:28:40If you can get here,
00:28:42I promise you,
00:28:43I will have a place for you on those planes.
00:28:45Colonel, I don't know if I can get to Germany in ten hours.
00:28:48It might take me that long just to get to Paris.
00:28:53What about Avro?
00:28:55That's a good possibility.
00:28:56If you can get to Avro,
00:28:57I'll have an MI-8 pick you up there.
00:29:00We'll go buy a pair of some bringing you here.
00:29:02All right?
00:29:03I'll do my best.
00:29:04Well, you've got ten hours to find them and get you.
00:29:07After that, I can't help.
00:29:09Now listen, Steve, I know I owe you big,
00:29:11but this is the best I can do.
00:29:13I've got an awful lot on my plate here right at the moment.
00:29:16No, I understand.
00:29:18When I see you in ten hours,
00:29:20we'll be even.
00:29:21Well, I look forward to seeing you all.
00:29:23God bless.
00:29:24Thank you, Colonel.
00:29:25Out.
00:29:29What exactly did you do for him?
00:29:32Nothing he wouldn't have done for me.
00:29:35Where's Avro?
00:29:36It's an Air Force base about 65 miles north of Paris.
00:29:39And I'll tell you, that's a lucky break for us.
00:29:42Well, considering.
00:29:44Speaking of lucky breaks,
00:29:45just a couple miles to go to the Eurotone.
00:29:50Okay, I'm calling the kids again.
00:29:56Damn.
00:30:03Oh, no.
00:30:04We're too late.
00:30:05It's hard to be abandoned.
00:30:08Maybe not.
00:30:09Let's check around back.
00:30:13See?
00:30:14Some of you must still be here.
00:30:16I don't know.
00:30:16It's pretty dead to me.
00:30:18Okay, but worst case scenario,
00:30:19it's warmer in there than it is out here.
00:30:21Maybe there's supplies or a working phone.
00:30:23And if all that fails,
00:30:25we can climb it to the top and use your phone.
00:30:27Okay.
00:30:28But the record...
00:30:29Do we notice?
00:30:30Come on.
00:30:34Hello?
00:30:34Hello?
00:30:35Hello?
00:30:37We're Americans.
00:30:38We need help.
00:30:40Which way?
00:30:42I don't know.
00:30:44That way?
00:30:46No.
00:30:47Okay, how about that way?
00:30:48No.
00:30:50Okay, that way?
00:30:52No.
00:30:53Taryn?
00:30:54What?
00:30:55It's dirty.
00:30:56It's creepy.
00:30:57Looks like it's going to fall apart any second.
00:30:59Look at the bright side.
00:31:00Go bright side.
00:31:03Just go that way.
00:31:08Hello?
00:31:09Hello?
00:31:15At least they have power.
00:31:16Look at the lights.
00:31:18Yeah, sure.
00:31:19This isn't creepy at all.
00:31:20Just ignore the scraping sound.
00:31:24And the little girl in the corner singing.
00:31:27When I'm reading the words in the pocketbook.
00:31:32Ryan, where are you?
00:31:33Taryn, Taryn, calm down.
00:31:34I'm right here.
00:31:37Look, there's a light at the end of the hallway.
00:31:38They must have emergency power.
00:31:40Let's go check it out.
00:31:52Oh, God.
00:31:52What a mess.
00:32:00Dad, what are you doing?
00:32:02For something useful?
00:32:03Maybe someone left a hat or a jacket or something.
00:32:06Look, let's head up to the roof.
00:32:07Maybe your cell phone and get a signal.
00:32:08You're crazy.
00:32:09I'm not going up the roof.
00:32:10Can't get too fed easy.
00:32:11We're just looking for...
00:32:13You're an American.
00:32:14Who are you?
00:32:15I'm Ryan Foster.
00:32:16This is my sister, Taryn.
00:32:17Our dad is Major Steve Foster, U.S. Air Force.
00:32:19But we can't get a hold of him.
00:32:20And our house got destroyed.
00:32:22And we're freezing.
00:32:23And we figured the best place would be the U.S. Embassy.
00:32:25Yeah, well, sorry to let you down.
00:32:26But this place has been red-tagged.
00:32:28Everyone left 50 minutes ago.
00:32:30We're setting up a Red Cross station at the Louvre.
00:32:32I don't even know how you guys got in here.
00:32:34Probably a security guard left the other two.
00:32:36Krabs, I've got to get out of here.
00:32:38And you too.
00:32:38It's not safe.
00:32:39Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:32:40Do you have any jackets or a coat or something for us?
00:32:42Red Cross will have all that for you.
00:32:43No, I mean, I'm talking about right now.
00:32:45We're freezing.
00:32:46I can't help you.
00:32:47Is your phone working?
00:32:48No.
00:32:48Look, we've got to go.
00:32:49I just came back for these files, and I have them.
00:32:51We have to go.
00:32:52Come on.
00:32:53But I can't go out like this.
00:32:55Look, it's better to be outside than inside.
00:32:57You don't have to worry about things falling on your head.
00:32:59Come on.
00:33:00Let's go.
00:33:02Hey, wait!
00:33:03Move your asses!
00:33:06Hey, look!
00:33:07We don't know where we're going!
00:33:09I think we're supposed to stand in a doorway.
00:33:14Whoa!
00:33:16This is stupid.
00:33:17Let's go.
00:33:18Whoa!
00:33:28You all right?
00:33:30Yeah.
00:33:31I don't think I broke anything.
00:33:32How are you?
00:33:34Yeah.
00:33:35I'm lucky I landed on you.
00:33:43It's okay.
00:33:49Ryan, you're leaving a zombie.
00:33:51There's a metal door.
00:33:52It's supposed to be some kind of vault or something.
00:33:55All right.
00:33:55Do it.
00:33:55Climb out.
00:33:59Ryan, don't tell me we're trapped down here.
00:34:01We're not trapped down here.
00:34:03Yeah, but is that true?
00:34:05That's what I'm working on.
00:34:10We've got to get out of here.
00:34:11All right.
00:34:12Look.
00:34:14I'm going to boost you up, okay?
00:34:15You step right here.
00:34:17Boost up.
00:34:17You climb out.
00:34:18Just go.
00:34:19And then what?
00:34:20You get out of the building as fast as you can before it comes down.
00:34:22Yeah, but what about you?
00:34:23We'll figure something out.
00:34:24You'll figure something out?
00:34:26What do you mean you'll figure something out?
00:34:27What are you going to do?
00:34:28Climb up?
00:34:29Jump up?
00:34:29Light a biop signal?
00:34:31We have got to get out of here.
00:34:32That's what I'm talking about.
00:34:34Let's go.
00:34:34Come on.
00:34:38I'm not leaving you.
00:34:39Taryn, just go.
00:34:41All right?
00:34:41Get out of the building.
00:34:42I'll be right behind you.
00:34:43You will not.
00:34:44Don't lie to me, Ryan.
00:34:46What do you want me to do, Taryn?
00:34:47If we stay here, we die.
00:34:49All right?
00:34:50Get out of here now.
00:34:50Save yourself.
00:34:51Get out of your friggin' mind.
00:34:53If you think I'm going to leave you here, what am I going to tell Dad?
00:35:01I'm going to climb up, and I'll figure something out.
00:35:03I'll come back and get you, okay?
00:35:05Yes, it's right.
00:35:21I'll be right back, okay?
00:35:23Be right here.
00:35:57I'll be right back.
00:36:20Okay, I found something.
00:36:22Great, a ladder?
00:36:24Okay, just stand in the corner.
00:36:25I'm going to drop this down, okay?
00:36:31Perfect.
00:36:32Do you have the other end tied to something?
00:36:35Give me a second.
00:37:00I'm all set.
00:37:02Sure?
00:37:02Yeah.
00:37:04Oh, God.
00:37:07Oh, God.
00:37:11Oh, God.
00:37:14Oh, God.
00:37:15Oh, God.
00:37:16Oh, God.
00:37:17Oh, God.
00:37:18Oh, God.
00:37:19Oh, my God!
00:37:19We've got to get out of here!
00:37:23Oh, God.
00:37:27Where's everyone?
00:37:28I'm sorry.
00:37:33Help! Help!
00:37:41Somebody help!
00:37:42There's nobody out there. You're wasting your time.
00:37:45Hey!
00:37:47Please, why now?
00:37:51Oh!
00:37:53Ryan!
00:37:53Ryan!
00:37:54Ryan!
00:37:55What happened?
00:37:57Oh, my God.
00:37:58You're being electrocuted.
00:38:00You're having me all right at times.
00:38:01Oh, shit.
00:38:11Oh, my God.
00:38:14I don't know how to work this thing.
00:38:16What do I do with this thing?
00:38:17I don't know what to do.
00:38:19Help! Help! Somebody!
00:38:21Somebody help me! Help!
00:38:24What happened?
00:38:25I don't know. We had, like, a million volts of electricity or something.
00:38:28He's been electrocuted. Please.
00:38:29I got help. Put those out. Put those out.
00:38:30I don't know how to work this thing.
00:38:32Don't yell at me.
00:38:33I got to check for a heartbeat.
00:38:35It's there, but it's irregular.
00:38:40Clear!
00:38:44Ryan!
00:38:45I thought you left.
00:38:46No, no, no.
00:38:47The tremor hit and I got hit on the head and got knocked out.
00:38:50You're screaming and woke me up.
00:38:51Come on. Can you walk?
00:38:51Ryan!
00:38:52Come on. Get up.
00:38:53Come on.
00:38:54You okay?
00:38:55You okay?
00:38:56You okay?
00:38:57You okay?
00:38:57Okay.
00:38:58Come on.
00:38:59We gotta go.
00:39:00Come on.
00:39:01Hurry.
00:39:05Quick.
00:39:13Hey!
00:39:14Wait.
00:39:15Now where?
00:39:18The Louvre.
00:39:19Matthew's right about the Red Cross.
00:39:21That's where they'll be.
00:39:22Where is it?
00:39:24Where is it?
00:39:24Near the river.
00:39:25By the Pond Moves.
00:39:27Go away.
00:39:39What's up?
00:39:40We're not gonna make it.
00:39:42We're not gonna make it.
00:39:43I'll talk to this guy.
00:39:52Excuse me, I have a reservation.
00:39:54Departure hangar.
00:39:55What's that?
00:39:56You can't board without a departure hangar.
00:39:58The machine's over there.
00:39:59Can you just check?
00:40:00It's Steve Foster.
00:40:01Foster.
00:40:02F-O-S-T-E.
00:40:03I can hear you.
00:40:03I just don't care.
00:40:04I don't think you understand.
00:40:06Colonel Dillard called personally to make a reservation for me.
00:40:09If you've got a reservation, get your departure hangar over there.
00:40:12Not that it'll do any good.
00:40:13And why's that?
00:40:15They're running hours behind.
00:40:16Those people were meant to be on the 9am train.
00:40:19And they've been here all day.
00:40:21And I hear the next train might be the last because of the weather.
00:40:41Steve!
00:40:43What the hell are you doing?
00:40:44We're not gonna get in the past.
00:40:45The whole system's falling apart.
00:40:47We're running out of time.
00:40:48Let's try the service tunnel.
00:40:49Call the kids.
00:40:58Is that your phone?
00:40:59No way.
00:41:00It's still working.
00:41:00It's Dad.
00:41:01Hello, Dad.
00:41:02Where are you guys?
00:41:03Did you hear what happened?
00:41:05Taren, thank God.
00:41:06Listen, it's Lacey.
00:41:07Are you all right?
00:41:08Your father's busy driving.
00:41:09Are you okay?
00:41:10Is your brother with you?
00:41:11Is he safe?
00:41:12Ryan's here.
00:41:12We're fine.
00:41:13We're fine.
00:41:14But the city, it's horrible.
00:41:16Okay, listen.
00:41:17Everything's gonna be fine.
00:41:18We have a plan.
00:41:19Okay, what's the plan?
00:41:20We need a place to rendezvous.
00:41:22Okay, listen.
00:41:23We need a place we can find you.
00:41:25What do you see around you?
00:41:26What's nearby?
00:41:27Nothing.
00:41:28Nothing.
00:41:29It's all gone.
00:41:30What are they asking?
00:41:31You need a place to meet us?
00:41:32The Embassy?
00:41:39The tower here.
00:41:41The Eiffel Tower.
00:41:42It's still there.
00:41:43They say the Eiffel Tower is still standing.
00:41:45Perfect.
00:41:46Tell them to go to the tower and find a safe place to stay and look out for a helicopter.
00:41:50We'll be there.
00:41:50It'll take some time, but we'll get there.
00:42:00Corporal, I'm Major Foster, US Air Force.
00:42:02I need access to the service tunnel.
00:42:04Sorry sir, this tunnel is from emergencies only.
00:42:07This is an emergency, Corporal.
00:42:08I need to get to France.
00:42:09So do all those people.
00:42:11My children are stranded in Paris, Corporal. I need to get to them.
00:42:15My mom's in Reykjavik. We haven't spoken since yesterday.
00:42:22I understand, sir.
00:42:29What's the problem?
00:42:31He's not gonna let us through.
00:42:40Look at that.
00:42:44Oh, and more people realize they won't get through.
00:42:46It's getting ugly out there, and it's only gonna get worse.
00:42:49We're running out of time.
00:42:50If they're gonna close this tunnel, we're never gonna get out of here.
00:42:56Out of hell with it. Hold on!
00:43:02All right, we're on our way.
00:43:07Oh, freezing my ass off. We need coats.
00:43:10You're telling me.
00:43:12Hey, look, best case scenario, they're not gonna be here for another three hours.
00:43:15Probably more.
00:43:16Yeah?
00:43:17So why don't we go find coats in someplace warm where we can rest a while?
00:43:21Okay, but I don't want to miss them at the tower.
00:43:22Neither do I.
00:43:23Look, if we get pneumonia out here, we're not gonna be doing anyone any favors.
00:43:27I don't know.
00:43:31They're still in England, right?
00:43:32They have to find the helicopter first, wherever the hell that is.
00:43:34Then fly to Paris. It's gonna be a while.
00:43:36And it's cold.
00:43:42Okay, well, where do you want to go?
00:43:44Uh, I don't know.
00:43:46This way?
00:43:47At least it's in the direction of the Louvre.
00:43:50What is it? What is it? What is it?
00:43:52The Army's rounding people out, probably for evacuation.
00:43:54Well, that's a good thing, right?
00:43:55Not if it stops us from getting to Lacey and Dad.
00:43:57Whatever's going on here, staying in some refugee camp isn't gonna save us, okay?
00:44:02Come on.
00:44:05Wait, Ryan.
00:44:07The cold, it's freezing.
00:44:08I don't want to die out here in the streets.
00:44:10You're right, you're right. Let me think.
00:44:13Where are we?
00:44:17Avenue George. I know what we can do.
00:44:19What?
00:44:19And run to the Furrier Districts.
00:44:21Come on.
00:44:26See?
00:44:27They actually teach you something useful in fashion school, huh?
00:44:30Let's go.
00:44:38Don't look like there's anyone here.
00:44:40Doesn't look like there's anything here.
00:44:43I guess we weren't the first people to think of Furriers.
00:44:45It might be a good stop, huh?
00:44:47There's gotta be something.
00:44:52Hey.
00:44:53Maybe downstairs there's gotta be a stock room or something, right?
00:44:56Where the shop?
00:44:58I am not going back out there like this.
00:45:09Bingo.
00:45:11Here, try this.
00:45:17Better?
00:45:18Much.
00:45:18Oh, we gotta look.
00:45:20Relatively speaking.
00:45:30Of course you don't speak French.
00:45:33Typical Americans.
00:45:34We're sorry, we didn't think that you...
00:45:36You didn't think I'd mind being robbed.
00:45:39The looters already took most of my coats.
00:45:41But you won't get these.
00:45:42Sir, please. We don't mean any harm.
00:45:44Look, we just...
00:45:45You know how it is out there. It's freezing.
00:45:47And it's only getting colder.
00:45:48We need these coats.
00:45:49Then you buy them like anyone else.
00:45:52Okay.
00:45:53Yeah, fine. Sure. How much?
00:45:55Price is determined by need.
00:45:57And your need is great, so the price will be greater.
00:46:03I'd say...
00:46:0420,000 euros.
00:46:07A piece.
00:46:0920,000 euros? That's ridiculous.
00:46:11Yeah, who's robbing who here?
00:46:13Please, sir, be reasonable.
00:46:14Leave my money. Or leave my coats.
00:46:18Or leave both.
00:46:29We're making good time, as long as the roads ahead of us are as good as they were in England.
00:46:33And no more earthquakes.
00:46:35Don't jinx it.
00:46:36It's not the snow I'm so worried about, it's the wind.
00:46:39Steve!
00:46:40Right. Lips are sealed.
00:46:43This really is what you do, isn't it?
00:46:46What's that?
00:46:47Keep cool in the crisis.
00:46:48Rise to the challenge.
00:46:49Find solutions.
00:46:50Well, it is what I was trained for.
00:46:53Unfortunately, I wasn't trained in raising a family.
00:46:55But it's gonna work this time, I promise you.
00:46:56Yeah, it's gonna work.
00:46:56No, it will work.
00:46:57It's gonna work.
00:46:58I'll make sure it works.
00:47:00Australia will be the true test of that.
00:47:03All four of us live in a little tent together.
00:47:06Australia.
00:47:06I wonder what that's gonna be like.
00:47:08I'll certainly get to know your kids.
00:47:10Yeah.
00:47:11I'm sure they found some place in Paris to get some cold weather gear.
00:47:15Yeah, I'm sure.
00:47:16Knowing Terrence, you probably spent $3,000 on some skippy little ski jacket.
00:47:24You know, I think you're a much better father than you give yourself credit for.
00:47:27Well, thanks.
00:47:29I'm sure they're just a couple of chips right off the old block.
00:47:32Well, let's hope.
00:47:33Right now our mission is to find them, make sure they're safe, and get them out of Paris.
00:47:38Roger that, Major.
00:47:43Look, easy here.
00:47:45We'll pay.
00:47:45Take my credit card.
00:47:46Cash only, mon ami.
00:47:48We don't have that kind of cash.
00:47:49Who would?
00:47:50Please, just...
00:47:51It's happening again.
00:47:52We gotta get out of here.
00:47:53Go!
00:48:02Terrence!
00:48:02Serve it!
00:48:09Terrence!
00:48:10Try it!
00:48:15I can't lift it!
00:48:16It's too heavy!
00:48:17Oh, my God, the ceiling!
00:48:19It's not gonna hold!
00:48:21Try it!
00:48:22Hurry!
00:48:27Ryan!
00:48:27You gotta get me out of here!
00:48:30Ryan!
00:48:33Damn it!
00:48:34Let me go get some help, okay?
00:48:36Help! Where?
00:48:37Ryan, you can't leave me here!
00:48:39Karen, I have to! I can't lift this by myself!
00:48:41We need help, okay?
00:48:42Look, I won't be a minute, alright?
00:48:45Ryan! Ryan, you can't leave me here!
00:48:49Ryan, just hang tight. I'll be right back.
00:48:52What's wrongs?
00:49:00Hey, help! Help!
00:49:04Hey!
00:49:06Hey, sister, please, you gotta help me.
00:49:09Please, my sister!
00:49:12Hey!
00:49:13It's you.
00:49:15My sister!
00:49:16Um, she's downstairs. She's trapped.
00:49:18Siegouple, please, you gotta help me.
00:49:19Excuse me. I'm very sorry, my sister.
00:49:22Please.
00:49:23No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:49:49Alright, I'm gonna lift it up as high as I can.
00:49:51You run as fast as you can out, okay?
00:49:52Okay.
00:49:53Do it one two three
00:50:29I'm sorry I called you a perimeter. That's the first thing you think to apologize to me for?
00:50:35Shut up. Ow! How bad is that? Damn, these were two hundred dollar jeans. Right, but are you gonna die
00:50:42a tetanus?
00:50:44Probably not. It hurts, but the cut's not that deep. I'll be fine. Okay, good. We need to get across
00:50:50the Seine. The tower's on the Rive-Droit.
00:50:52Wow, Ryan. That's impressive. Not really. It's the only bit of French that I've learned since I've been here. That
00:50:58and it's okay, I'm a doctor.
00:51:00All right, let's find somewhere to stay warm and dry until we get here. Yeah, I could really go for
00:51:05a nice cup of coffee right now.
00:51:07Coffee? How about a hazelnut crepe? Chocolate eclair? Foot rub? Sarcasm isn't helpful right now, Taryn.
00:51:16Anna. Yes, doctor? I want you to check my work. Sir?
00:51:22I think perhaps I've made a mistake because what I'm looking at here is unprecedented. I can't send it to
00:51:29NATO until I'm sure it's correct.
00:51:30Of course, doctor Goldstein. Anna, have you ever heard about an ice cyclone? Is there any record of such a
00:51:39thing?
00:51:40Not that I know of, doctor. Well, check the figures. Because I wouldn't want to think what an ice cyclone
00:51:48could do in a city like Paris.
00:52:03Was that an earthquake? Maybe just a passing tremor. Still, I feel safer when we're above sea level again. About
00:52:12ten minutes we'll be up top.
00:52:20Just a few miles to go now. Then how far to Evro? About two hours tops, depending on the road
00:52:27conditions.
00:52:28I wonder if she's going to be worse. The main roads are back. What was that? Another tremor?
00:52:33I don't know, but I didn't like the sound of it. Then another one, it's getting closer. What is that?
00:52:47What is that? That's the English Channel coming in. Just go. Just go. Go faster. I'm going fast. I got
00:52:59it at max. Look, it's right in front of it. I see it. Hold on, we're going through it. Come
00:53:03on, come on. It's coming in everywhere. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that.
00:53:10There's the exit. There's the exit. Brace yourself. Brace yourself. Brace yourself. Come on.
00:53:42That's the one I booked Steve on. He was a good man. Anyway, I might be able to do something
00:53:50for his children. Paris. They're evacuating Paris, aren't they?
00:53:55Yes, sir. They've rounded up the survivors and put them into temporary shelters.
00:53:58Right. Download pictures of the kids. Send them to whoever's in charge and see if they can get them here.
00:54:05But, sir, why all this effort for two Americans with all the civilians?
00:54:09Because I owe the man. You saved my life once. We flew together for years. E3 Senturies, Desert Storm and
00:54:21a lot of other operations.
00:54:23In 95, we were in Alaska. Took off on a perfectly clear day and ingested an entire flock of Canada
00:54:30geese.
00:54:31What? The plane went down like a stone. Everybody on board was killed or seriously wounded.
00:54:36I was unconscious. Steve was wounded. He found me. Pulled me out of the wreckage and carried me on his
00:54:43back three miles back to headquarters.
00:54:47We don't forget things like that. There is a chance they made it through before the quake, of course.
00:54:56Yes. Yes, you're quite right. He might have done. All right? I'll try and get him on his setter.
00:55:02But first, sir, did you have a chance to look at Goldshine's revised model?
00:55:06No, no. I've been dealing with operational matters. What now?
00:55:12Oh, my God. This is like a sick joke.
00:55:20If I said our luck was holding up, would you consider that a jinx?
00:55:23Um, yeah, but now it's too late. Well, we are ahead of schedule.
00:55:29Um, Dillard's calling back. Hello? Colonel Dillard?
00:55:33Hello, Steve. Steve, this is Dillard.
00:55:37Um, Colonel, this is Lacey Foster, Steve's wife.
00:55:40I can't understand what you're saying. Hello?
00:55:42Colonel, I think that's you. We are in France a couple of hours from Evro.
00:55:46I can't hear you. Listen, Steve.
00:55:50There's been a change of plan. Paris is unsafe. Don't go to Paris.
00:55:57Hello? Colonel Dillard?
00:55:59I've seen before. The kids are directly dangerous.
00:56:05Now, I will arrange to have the kids picked up...
00:56:09...and for a...guided cash.
00:56:12If you can get to Evro...
00:56:16...the helicopter...
00:56:18Yeah.
00:56:19Kids? Something about the storm and the kids and Evro?
00:56:22No, I...I don't know.
00:56:25Look, I hope you understand this message.
00:56:28Colonel? Can you hear me? Can you repeat?
00:56:31I'm sorry. I can't make out a word you're saying. Gotta go now.
00:56:35God...God bless.
00:56:37Not a lot of signal. Now what?
00:56:42We'll just stick to the plan. That's all we can do.
00:56:49This part of the city seems quiet.
00:56:51It must have been evacuated already.
00:56:53Hey.
00:56:55There's gotta be an unlocked door somewhere around here.
00:56:57If we can get inside some place, preferably some place with food and power,
00:57:01We ought to be safe and warm until it's time to meet up with Dad and Lacey.
00:57:04Okay. Breaking and entering. Great plan, Ryan. Great.
00:57:07You want to be law-abiding or you want to be warm?
00:57:13Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:57:16Damn, he saw us.
00:57:17Well, where are we gonna go?
00:57:22We can't run. He'd follow. Probably call others. We'd just get further away from the tower.
00:57:28Maybe we can reason with him?
00:57:32He doesn't sound too reasonable.
00:57:38He doesn't look that reasonable either.
00:57:41Look, Ryan. We don't know this guy. We don't know where he would take us.
00:57:44Dad is risking everything to be at the tower. We need to be there when he arrives.
00:57:47You're right. Come on.
00:57:51All right. Easy. Easy.
00:57:55Look, we don't mean any harm.
00:57:57American.
00:58:09You need to come with me. Everyone is being evacuated.
00:58:12We have shelters set outside the city with food and medical supplies.
00:58:15No, we can't do that. We're meeting our parents at the Eiffel Tower.
00:58:17No, no. You come with me. Your parents are probably in a Chateau Hardy.
00:58:21No, no, no. You don't understand. Our parents...
00:58:23No, you don't understand. A major disaster has occurred. We need to get everyone to a place of safety.
00:58:27Safety? Where? This isn't just some storm. Don't you get it?
00:58:31I am not asking. Come with me now. Look, we can't. We're sorry.
00:58:40I have my orders and now you have yours. You come with me for your own safety.
00:58:43All right. All right. Just don't shoot us for our own safety.
00:58:48Debec. Get in.
00:58:49All right.
00:59:01Oh... Hey.
00:59:04Encore vous ?
00:59:06Je m'appelle Ryan.
00:59:09All right.
00:59:12All right.
00:59:14All right.
00:59:19How much further?
00:59:2010 or 12 miles.
00:59:22Are we gonna gas?
00:59:23Oh yeah, we're doing great.
00:59:25Alrighty then, nap time.
00:59:35Whoa!
00:59:37You alright?
00:59:38That wind came out of nowhere.
00:59:40Must be 60, 70 miles an hour.
00:59:46Well, what can we do?
00:59:49We might have to pull over until it passes.
00:59:52Can we spare the time?
00:59:55Not really, but...
00:59:57we might not have a choice.
01:00:05Hold on!
01:00:11You alright?
01:00:12Yeah. You?
01:00:14Yeah. Yeah.
01:00:17Okay.
01:00:18Oh, come on.
01:00:20Oh, come on.
01:00:24It looks like we're on foot from here, soldier.
01:00:26On foot?
01:00:27Yeah.
01:00:30It's alright, it's only a couple of miles.
01:00:32A couple of miles? Yeah.
01:00:34How are we gonna find the base?
01:00:35It's fine.
01:00:36We've got all the coordinates into the GPS of my watch.
01:00:39Oh.
01:00:39Ready for a little hike, soldier?
01:00:41Sure.
01:00:41Come on, let's get in the gear.
01:00:59There you go.
01:01:04Okay.
01:01:10Southwest.
01:01:11This way.
01:01:18You will see, the shelter is probably the best place for you to be.
01:01:22Most likely your parents are already there waiting for you.
01:01:24Sir, we know you're just trying to do your job, but we really need to get to the tower, okay?
01:01:28Our parents are coming in from out of town.
01:01:29No one is coming in from out of town, monsieur.
01:01:31If that, I cannot show you.
01:01:33Our dad is an Air Force pilot.
01:01:35Or used to be.
01:01:36And he's sending a helicopter to pick us up.
01:01:38You need to let us go.
01:01:39I am sorry, mademoiselle, my own.
01:01:41Look out!
01:01:45Oh my God.
01:01:50Everyone all right?
01:01:51You okay?
01:01:52I'm fine.
01:01:53I had that cord.
01:01:53He's okay.
01:01:55Is he all right?
01:01:56I don't think so.
01:01:58Hey!
01:02:00Come on.
01:02:02Oh my God, we're stuck!
01:02:04He's got them all safety locked.
01:02:08Do you smell that?
01:02:11Gasoline.
01:02:13Oh my God, it's leaking!
01:02:15I don't know.
01:02:25Quick, we got it!
01:02:26We gotta get out of here!
01:02:27Come on!
01:02:28Come on!
01:02:28Come on!
01:02:43What about her?
01:02:54Are you hurt?
01:02:55I'm sick!
01:02:56You okay?
01:02:58I'm a little dizzy.
01:03:15We need to get out of here.
01:03:16Where?
01:03:17I don't know.
01:03:19The Eiffel Tower.
01:03:20The Eiffel Tower.
01:03:21Let's where I fell.
01:03:22Let's where I fell.
01:03:23No!
01:03:23No!
01:03:24The tunnel.
01:03:25There's no way to open it.
01:03:30Shortcut!
01:03:31Come!
01:03:32Come!
01:03:32Come!
01:03:33Come!
01:03:36Come!
01:03:59Come on!
01:03:59Can we rest for a second!
01:04:00It's been hours!
01:04:02Come on, honey we gotta keep moving!
01:04:03Gotta keep the blood circulating!
01:04:05The legs are in fire!
01:04:06But the rest of me is not gonna cold!
01:04:08We gotta keep moving, honey, come on.
01:04:13No!
01:04:16Here, Lacey.
01:04:46We're here!
01:04:48Oh, I can't believe it.
01:04:51It's still on schedule.
01:04:52Don't jinx this.
01:04:53Come on.
01:05:00Lacey!
01:05:13Lacey!
01:05:19Oh, Reed's walking.
01:05:20You all right?
01:05:26It's creepy.
01:05:28There's nobody here.
01:05:29Let's hope someone's still here.
01:05:31Hello!
01:05:34Hello!
01:05:35Anybody here?
01:05:36Colonel Dillon sent us!
01:05:41Foster!
01:05:42Yeah? Over here!
01:05:47Come on. Get in.
01:05:51Lieutenant Carl Redding, sir. Glad you made it.
01:05:52Thank you, Lieutenant. This is my wife, Lacey.
01:05:54Well, now that we're all here, why don't we get the hell out?
01:05:56Good idea. I'll get the doors and you start her up.
01:05:59Well, actually, I hear you're a hell of a pilot.
01:06:00Why don't I get these doors and you fire it out?
01:06:02You got it!
01:06:12Main rotor.
01:06:13Clear.
01:06:15Throttle.
01:06:15Open.
01:06:16Starter.
01:06:17Engaging.
01:06:20Oil pressure 10% in one.
01:06:23I should go help him.
01:06:44Main rotor.
01:06:45Turning by 25% of M1.
01:06:47Started.
01:06:48Releasing at 58%.
01:06:56I'm okay!
01:06:57He needs my help again.
01:06:58He needs my help again.
01:06:59Awww!
01:07:00Ahh!
01:07:01Ahh!
01:07:01Ahh!
01:07:02Ah!
01:07:03Ahhh!
01:07:04Oh!
01:07:05Ah!
01:07:13Ah!
01:07:18Ah!
01:07:19We need to make up the lost time.
01:08:00Oh, good job.
01:08:10I wonder how long it's been down and late to get here.
01:08:13Honestly, it could be any time for a decent luck getting to the helicopter.
01:08:16I really hope we don't miss them at the tower.
01:08:18That would really suck.
01:08:20We're not going to miss them.
01:08:21We're making a good time.
01:08:23Okay.
01:08:23We don't need any distractions.
01:08:26What?
01:08:27She's the one who knew where the tunnel was.
01:08:29T, we couldn't have just left her back there.
01:08:31It would have been like murder.
01:08:32It's getting worse out there by the minute.
01:08:34Stop!
01:08:36Nice vice.
01:08:38Good day, Dad.
01:08:40You can't take our...
01:08:43Nobody said you could speak.
01:08:46Understand?
01:08:48Yeah?
01:08:48You understand?
01:08:51Dude, so...
01:08:53We'll take the bags.
01:08:59And the coats too.
01:09:01What?
01:09:01No, we can't take our...
01:09:02Oh!
01:09:04What are the hats?
01:09:06The guards?
01:09:07No!
01:09:08Lady.
01:09:23Don't look so sad.
01:09:25I'm letting you keep your shoes or
01:09:29Should I take them to?
01:09:35Kidding
01:09:38Take off
01:10:12I don't know the water in the pipes
01:10:15The water it's freezing it's causing the pipes to burst
01:10:18Let's go
01:10:27Tara?
01:10:29You okay?
01:10:40Dad!
01:10:56Dan, it's locked.
01:10:58I'm going to stay upstairs.
01:10:59Let's go.
01:11:19This is really bad.
01:11:21I've never seen anything like this before.
01:11:25Can we get a puppet?
01:11:26I'm worried about navigation.
01:11:28Half the instruments are out as it is.
01:11:31It's worth a try.
01:11:37Oh, wow.
01:11:38We've got to get over that.
01:11:42Uh-oh.
01:11:43Don't say, uh-oh.
01:11:45No, uh-oh.
01:11:46Main road or warning.
01:11:47What?
01:11:49Damn it.
01:11:50Engine stall must be the ash.
01:11:52Are we going to crash?
01:11:53Not if I can help it.
01:12:01We're falling.
01:12:02Honey, I got it under control.
01:12:04We're falling.
01:12:04Honey, I got it under control.
01:12:05I've trained for this exact scenario, all right?
01:12:07It's called an autorotation.
01:12:09We keep the rotor angled, the blade spinning,
01:12:11and we'll have a controlled descent.
01:12:13Understand?
01:12:14Yeah, I think so.
01:12:16Just got to give the engine time to recover.
01:12:22Are we going to land?
01:12:23We might have to.
01:12:25Then we're going to crash?
01:12:26We might have to.
01:12:27Steve!
01:12:28Honey, it's okay.
01:12:29Steve!
01:12:30I'll try one more time.
01:12:31Just give the engine time to kick in.
01:12:43Are we dead?
01:12:44I don't think so.
01:12:47Did we crash?
01:12:49I don't think so.
01:12:51Are we going to be okay?
01:12:53I think so, honey.
01:12:56Next time we take a cruise.
01:12:58You got a deal.
01:13:02They did say they were coming in a helicopter, right?
01:13:05Where are they going to land?
01:13:07Not down there.
01:13:09Yeah, not here.
01:13:10Ryan, what are we going to do?
01:13:11Maybe.
01:13:13Maybe if we can find a way to get to the top,
01:13:15they can drop a rope ladder.
01:13:17We can find a way to climb on board.
01:13:19I don't know.
01:13:21You don't know?
01:13:22After all this, we're just going to die here?
01:13:25We would have been better off in a refugee camp, Ryan.
01:13:28You know, Dad, he's like freaking Captain America.
01:13:30If anyone can pull us off, he can.
01:13:32You still believe that?
01:13:33After all this?
01:13:34Why do you idolize him so much?
01:13:36Because he's a hero.
01:13:37And I'd be lucky to be half the man he is.
01:13:40Well, he better not be late.
01:13:42Otherwise, he's grounded.
01:13:43For life.
01:13:47Come on.
01:13:48A thousand more steps.
01:14:14I don't like the sound of that.
01:14:16Come on, T, this thing's been sanded since 1889.
01:14:19It's not going to fall over now.
01:14:21It wasn't built for life.
01:14:23Hello, Faith.
01:14:24Come on.
01:14:31You okay?
01:14:33Yeah.
01:14:33You okay?
01:14:35Let's keep going.
01:14:59Maybe we should have had back then.
01:15:06Let's keep moving.
01:15:15Paris.
01:15:16Where's the tower?
01:15:18Trump will be able to see it for this storm and all these ashes.
01:15:23Oh, there it is.
01:15:24Oh, God.
01:15:26Steve.
01:15:27Let's just get there first and find the kids.
01:15:30One crisis at a time.
01:15:33Oh!
01:15:33Oh!
01:15:34Oh!
01:15:35Oh!
01:15:35Oh!
01:15:36Oh!
01:15:40Hey, it's them!
01:15:41Really?
01:15:42I don't know.
01:15:42It's a helicopter.
01:15:43Hey!
01:15:44Hey!
01:15:44Hey!
01:15:45Over here!
01:15:46Hey!
01:15:47Hey!
01:15:47Come on, guys.
01:15:48Where are you?
01:15:50Are they in the official band?
01:15:52Dad!
01:15:53Dad!
01:15:54Oh!
01:15:57Maybe they're underneath it.
01:15:59Maybe, but it looks completely unstable down there.
01:16:05Oh, they're sick.
01:16:07Ryan!
01:16:08Ryan!
01:16:09There's no way he can hear you, baby.
01:16:11Hey!
01:16:14Hey!
01:16:17Oh, thank God!
01:16:19Incredible, right?
01:16:21Thank God!
01:16:22Thank God!
01:16:23Hey!
01:16:24Hey!
01:16:25Hey!
01:16:25What the?
01:16:28Oh!
01:16:29Hurry!
01:16:30Hurry!
01:16:31Hurry!
01:16:31I see it, but I don't know what the hell it is.
01:16:35Maybe this is what Dillard was talking about.
01:16:37Maybe.
01:16:38All we can do is try to get there before it does.
01:16:42Read my mind.
01:16:48Ryan, if we don't make it out of here, I just said, I...
01:16:50Yeah, yeah, no, I love you too, T.
01:16:52No, no, no, no, no.
01:16:52I mean, I love you, but I quit school.
01:16:56What?
01:16:57When?
01:16:59A couple months ago.
01:17:00I didn't want you to be disappointed in me.
01:17:02You're so much like Dad.
01:17:03In a good way.
01:17:05Hopefully, that'll be the worst news I get today.
01:17:31Dude, I missed it!
01:17:33Why again?
01:17:52It's all right, try again!
01:18:04Can you get any closer?
01:18:05I'm trying!
01:18:07One good gust of wind or slams right into that thing!
01:18:24I don't like this anymore, Ryan.
01:18:28Neither.
01:18:29Let's get out of here.
01:18:45They got it!
01:18:46All right!
01:18:53Now watch!
01:18:54They can't climb this thing!
01:18:56It's all right!
01:18:57They'll have to slide!
01:19:03We need a hook or a rod or something.
01:19:06I want it!
01:19:26You're okay.
01:19:28Ready?
01:19:29Okay, get ready!
01:19:31Go!
01:19:32Go.
01:19:38You ready?
01:19:39You got this.
01:19:41You got this.
01:19:42Go.
01:19:57Everybody all right?
01:19:59Yeah.
01:20:00We're fine.
01:20:00We're fine.
01:20:01We're fine.
01:20:02We're fine.
01:20:04We're fine.
01:20:23Hold on.
01:20:44We got a hit.
01:20:46How bad is it?
01:20:47It's not good.
01:20:48We've got 100 miles to go.
01:20:49Only an hour to get there.
01:20:50Are we going to make it?
01:20:53We'll find out soon enough.
01:20:54We'll do nothing.
01:21:11I'll be right.
01:21:19I'll see you next time.
01:21:20The plane leaves on time, not a second before.
01:21:28Make final preparations for take-off.
01:21:55Come on. Come on. Just ten miles. We can make it. We can make it.
01:22:05We're all set, sir. Deposit on your command.
01:22:09Very well.
01:22:13There's the base. I think we're gonna be okay.
01:22:16Oh, don't jinx it.
01:22:18Don't be superstitious, honey.
01:22:26Ed!
01:22:27Hold on. We're going down.
01:22:33Let's just hope that snow bag is as soft as it looks.
01:22:36I love you, Daddy.
01:22:38I love you, too, baby. Hold on.
01:22:52Wait a minute. Over there.
01:22:54Everybody hang on. This is it.
01:23:05Looks like they didn't make it, sir.
01:23:08Well, we'd better check it out.
01:23:09But, sir...
01:23:10Listen, ma'am.
01:23:12If half an hour and a walk in the snow is gonna save the life of that family, then that's
01:23:15what I'm gonna do.
01:23:16Sir, you have 25 minutes exactly.
01:23:20Captain.
01:23:20Colonel Dillard, you know where I got my orders.
01:23:23Look, I wish you Godspeed, sir, but in 26 minutes we will be airborne, with or without you, sir.
01:23:29You'll do what you have to do, Captain.
01:23:32Just bear in mind, that could be your family out there.
01:23:38Right, I need volunteers.
01:23:43Good lads. Come on.
01:23:49Hold it.
01:23:54All right, double time!
01:24:07Anyone alive?
01:24:09Come on, quick! Get him out!
01:24:11Steve! Hang on!
01:24:15Get it out of the way!
01:24:18Don't be scared!
01:24:20Come on!
01:24:22You all right?
01:24:24Good.
01:24:26Three...
01:24:28Sorry I'm late, buddy!
01:24:31All right, I see your flying's improved.
01:24:33Yeah, I learned from the best, sir.
01:24:35And you can't count, either.
01:24:37Oh, this is, um...
01:24:38She's with me. You got room, don't you?
01:24:39Yes, we got room.
01:24:40Come on, they're waiting for us.
01:24:42Quick as you can!
01:24:46I'll be dead.
01:24:50Angela made it.
01:24:51You know, I think we'd better run that pre-flight check one more time.
01:24:56Just to be sure.
01:24:59How's school, Terran?
01:25:00Uh, yeah. I've been able to talk to you about that, Dad.
01:25:03Oh, yeah?
01:25:04Didn't exactly go with the plan.
01:25:06Really?
01:25:07Well, that is a time for new beginnings.
01:25:09For all of us.
01:25:47Oh, my God.
01:25:52I have seen the plan.
01:25:52Oh, my God.
01:25:53A lot of memories.
01:25:53Oh, my God.
