"How much further?" "Over the ridge." "Dear God." "What the hell is that?" "Is that what you were expecting?" "No." "It 's much worse." "The fire we've reported lsstIllburnlngout ofcontrol." "Check that shit out, man!" "Never seen such a pissed off looking volcano before." "Never a damn marshmallow around when you need one." "You know, when they said my last gig would be a hot one I kind of pictured Fiji." "The hell you did!" "Go on, admit it, Colonel." "You're gonna miss this shit." "I'm gonna buy myself a beach house and a bunch of kites." "My kid likes to surf." "Christ!" "Sounds like water torture, man." "Not to me." "Village is forty clicks north." "I'm gonna have to drop you a little farther than that, sir." "Thing don't fly too good dipped in lava." "Fine." "Just find me some good ground transpo." "I think I saw a couple donkeys back there." "Your sex life's your own business, Fingers." "Man!" "I'm sending it right now." "Just tell him to look at the numbers." "Tell him to look at the numbers." "No, don't!" "Don't hang up!" "Tell him to look at the damn numbers!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "I knew it." "I was right." "I was right." "Very exciting." "What were you right about?" "Who the hell are you?" "That 's not important, Ms. McGrath." "But seeing as we're not under any pressure here, what the hell?" "I'm Colonel Beckett." "I've been sent to pull you out of here." "Yeah?" "By who?" "By someone who gives ashit." "I don't know anyone who fits that description." "So... you're one of those." "One of what?" "Never mind." "Boyfriend?" "Listen, jerko... get back on your shiny white horse and go rescue someone else... because I'm going to leave when I'm good and ready." "So... you ready?" "Nice call, Ms. McGrath." "It 's Julie." "Just drive." "Sure." "Anything else back there?" "Hairbrush?" "Maybe a little eye thing?" "Have you had psychic evaluation?" "Yeah, but what do they know?" "Traffic always this bad?" "It 's called an evacuation." "Yeah, well, they should have a carpool lane." "Damn!" "This is a rental." "All those people." "We have to do something." "We can't leave them." "Afraid we can." "My orders are to get you out of here safely." "Only you." "Yeah, well, screw your orders." "Don't do that again." "Right." "My bad." "Thls ls the NorthHollywood station." "Please watchyourstep." "NorthHollywood." "What happens if we get caught?" "We never get caught." "Come on, Faith." "Don't wuss out." "I'm not!" "I'm just..." "I have to meet my aunt in half an hour." "She's wussing out." "I told you." "Come on." "You guys ready?" "If a train came right now, I'd be the last one off the tracks." "Bullshit." "You'd be the first, yeah?" "What 's that?" "Wireless instant messenger." "Birthday present from my dad." "He says hello from the South Pacific." "Kick ass!" "All my dad ever gives me is a hard time." "He just shows up, he doesn't?" "Hey!" "Check this out!" "Look at that." "Gotcha!" "This is the one." "It 's part of the ventilation system." "Tommy Lang says it goes down like five hundred feet." "Shit!" "Knock it off, man." "Who's the wuss now?" "That 's not very funny." "Where are you going?" "I'm late!" "Where the hell were you?" "Nowhere." "This is what I get for trusting you?" "What am I supposed to tell your dad when he gets here?" "You mean, if he gets here." "He'll be here, Faith." "He promised." "Get down, Faith!" "Don't move!" "Aunt Tara!" "You okay?" "Like it or not, you're definitely your father's daughter." "How certain are we on this?" "Confidence's high, Mr. President." "Our problem at the moment is how to keep a lid on it." "What 's our containment?" "We've quashed reports out of New Zealand and the Netherlands... but there's still the McGrath woman." "Have we secured her?" "Yes." "She's with Colonel Beckett." "Beckett?" "Who dragged him into this?" "You told me to get the best, Mr. President." "I did." "No injuries were reportedln the 5.6quake, the thlrdthlsmonth." "Unheardoflnitsselsmlc history." "Elsewhere, the heat continues to rise." "Recordtemperatureshave lgniteda rashofflrestormsacross the nation." "The sclentlstsare wondering:" ""What'supwithMotherNature?"" "I'll tell you what 's up with her." "She's mad as hell and she ain't gonna take it anymore." "Maybe it 's just her time of the month." "You really are an asshole." "I was just growing fond of jerko." "Well, consider this a promotion." "Ten hut!" "At ease." "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." "Mr." "President." "I don't know what to say." "That 's a first." "This is Janet Hill, National Security Advisor." "And General Thomas Moore." "We've been discussing your findings." "They were right, weren't they?" "I've been trying to get someone to listen for months, but I..." "Special Agent Kellaway." "And I believe you know Dr. Sallin." "You look well." "So do you." "That makes sense, considering the fat check you get for selling out." "Ding ding." "Round one to volcano girl." "Welcome back." "It 's been awhile since you disgraced these halls." "Sure has, sir." "How's Mrs. President?" "She's fine." "She's over in Europe." "With asecurity detail that won't try to proposition her." "I'll tell her you said hello." "Thank you, sir." "Let 's get to it, shall we?" "Yes." "Would you bring us up to speed?" "Yes, certainly." "You hit on the First Lady?" "I was young." "She was hot." "As you know, fifteen months ago the Chinese ignored the... test ban treaty and detonated aseries of underground nuclear devices." "Since that time... we have faced aseries of unprecedented geothermal events." "Active volcanism, earthquakes, floods, and, most recently... a rapid acceleration of the greenhouse effect." "Now, based on my observations in Antarctica..." "I would say that we are potentially on the verge... of a catastrophic global event." "You see... the release of all that energy..." "can I have the Pacific plate?" "...has caused deep fissures... within the Pacific tectonic plate... causing it to move apart from the 15 plates, which move in unison... to conserve the Earth's axis." "Now this, in turn, has created the potential scenario... that the Earth could lose its temperature stability." "Somebody in English, please." "What he's trying to say is that it 's going to get awhole lot hotter." "Exactly what does that mean?" "The movement has exposed... dormant hot spots deep in the mantle... and this, in turn, has allowed the release of hyper-thermal gases... which, in its turn, has contributed to accelerate the greenhouse effect and this possibly leads on..." "Can we just let her talk?" "It means we have 3 days to stop the Pacific plate from moving." "Or what?" "The Earth incinerates itself." "Hold the hell on." "I thought we were talking about Mother Earth here." "The one that keeps on ticking?" "Well, put it this way, Colonel." "The Earth will still be here." "We won't." "Is this actually possible?" "Apparently so, Mr. President." "It 's been confirmed by JPL." "But to be honest... you're looking at the two brightest people in the field." "What do we do to prevent this?" "Well, based on the plate's current momentum... there's only one way to stop it." "How?" "By triggering aseismic event." "You might call it a global chiropractic adjustment." "Yes, yes." "What she means is..." "Excuse me." "What are we really talking about here?" "A thermonuclear explosion." "A what?" "Are you out of your mind?" "Doctor, do you concur with this?" "Yes, Mr. President, I do." "The Pacific plate has already moved 26.6 centimeters." "Once it moves past 44 centimeters... nothing we can do will have any effect." "There will quite literally be Hell on Earth." "How large an explosion?" "15 megatons." "A hundred times the explosion that decimated Hiroshima." "Where?" "Based on my calculations, which are, in turn, based on... global laser imaging and GPS tracking... ground zero has to be... there." "Faith." "Jules!" "There's no need to humiliate me in front of the President." "That was foolish." "Since when is telling the truth foolish?" "As usual, father... one of us always has it backwards." "I have you to thank for being dragged away from my research." "Well, you wouldn't have come otherwise." "And I see you've started using your mother's name again." "It 's my way of remembering her." "What is yours?" "I've seen your work, Jules." "It is superb." "You've come such a long way." "Save it." "Your approval doesn't mean shit to me." "It never did." "Wait." "You've seen my work?" "Son of a bitch." "The grant." "It was fake, wasn't it?" "You've been funneling money to me to keep tabs on my findings!" "Jules, we can beat this thing!" "But we can only do it together." "Now, this is not about us!" "Of course it isn't!" "It has never been about us." "We have late report that the Presldent has called anemergency meeting... with the Jolnt ChlefsofStaff as wellasmembersofhlsCablnet."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States." "Good afternoon." "I come to you today with a matter of global importance." "It 's insane." "You can't evacuate a city of 8 million people on a hunch." "What if they're wrong?" "We're betting they're not." "I know what this is about." "You can't begin to know, sir." "It doesn't change the facts." "I need someone with your reputation." "Reputations don't mean shit unless they're good." "Get someone else, Tom." "I'm asking you as a friend." "Given the time, I would." "I can't just leave them there." "I'm sending in an extraction team." "Faith and Tarawill be safe." "You have my word." "And if I say no?" "Then I'll find someone else." "Someone who may or may not get it done." "Are you willing to risk that?" "Dad, hurry up." "Get in." "Come on." "Would you please hurry up?" "...aspeechbythe Presldent alreadylnprogress."

"Pack some clothes." "Not a lot." "Just enough for a couple of days." "Go on." "Hey, sis." "It 's me." "Ryan, thankgod." "We're scared out of our minds." "Now listen, it 's gonna be fine." "I've made arrangements for you." "Arrangements?" "A police escort wIllplckyou up andtake youout ofthe city." "Don't pack." "Just go with them." "But I thought you were coming..." "Ican't." "Nowllsten to me, Tara." "No, Ryan, you listen." "She needs you here." "What am I supposed to tell her?" "LAPD." "Ms. Beckett." "LAPD." "Let 's get moving." "Right now." "They're here." "Now you go with them." "TelIFaithit'llbe okay." "Tellher..." "Tell her I love her." "You tell her yourself." "Let'sgo,let'sgo,people." "We've gotta go." "Let 's go!" "In, in, in." "Let 's go." "Get in, get in." "I hope you're not jeopardizing the classified nature of this mission." "Meaning what?" "Meaning... no outside communication." "Don't fuck with me, Kellaway." "I see you gentlemen have met." "You might want to exchange numbers since he will be part of the team." "Like hell he will." "By order of the President." "What about the rest of my guys?" "Being assembled as we speak." "Though I can't say they'd be my first choice to save the world." "Candidly speaking, without them, the world doesn't stand a chance." "Damn." "This is gonna be fun." "Welcome, ladies." "Mac." "Anderson." "Norris." "Styles." "Colonel." "How's retirement, man?" "Fuck you, Fingers." "Nice bunch." "When are they due back to the fraternity?" "Trust me." "You're in good hands." "Right." "Relax, doctor." "We're on schedule." "Let 's keep it that way." "Sir." "What 's the matter, Colonel?" "One tactical nuke not good enough for you?" "July 4th, 1972." "First time my old man let me set off a firecracker." "I light the fuse." "Tossed it up." "Waited for that great big bang... and nothing happened." "Damn thing was a dud." "I hate duds." "Colonel." "Good luck." "Ten hut!" "Make me proud, Colonel." "Unit 17,DCneeds acopyonyou20." "Over." "Copy that, Rampart." "Our 2O is the 7OOO block... of Valjean Avenue in Van Nuys." "We're proceeding westbound awaiting your orders." "Over." "What are you doing?" "I'm sending Dad an e-message." "Tell him the traffic's no worse, even in an evacuation." "So he can see that right now?" "Only if he has it on." "If not, it 'll show up later as a text message." "Bounces off asatellite to anywhere in the world." "Damn." "I can't even defrost stuff in the microwave." "Excuse me, ma'am." "There's no smoking inside the vehicle." "So, any chance we're going to get out of here this week?" "Soon, ma'am." "Soon." "Right." "Quake!" "Cover your heads!" "Hold on!" "Run!" "Run!" "Gas line!" "Get out!" "Now!" "Oh, my God!" "Faith, get out!" "What are you doing?" "Faith, get the hell inside!" "Aunt Tara!" "National Guard's calling the ball." "But I've mobilized the Marines." "Just in case it gets worse." "Can it get worse, General?" "Where's the team?" "They've just touched down." "Those are the nukes?" "Yes, sir." "Mike and Ike." "It wasn't my idea." "Never thought I'd be the first president since Truman... to wipe out an entire city." "Especially one of our own." "I'm Mayor Salizar." "Welcome to LA." "Thank you, Madame Mayor." "We've arranged transportation, along with most of the equipment." "What do you mean "most of it"?" "A truck went up in a tunnel fire." "They'll have to do it with only one." "Dig 3OO feet with only one rotor?" "Jesus Christ!" "How soon can you track down more?" "Couple days, maybe." "Couple days?" "Shit, man." "We'll all be pot stickers." "What about blasting?" "We could use Power Gel packs with a higher VOD rating." "Not if we hit granite." "And since we don't have time to sample..." "He's right." "We need those rotors." "Right." "We'll do everything we can." "Good." "Thank you." "All right." "Get this stuff loaded up, we're moving out in about, say fifteen minutes." "Guy creeps me out." "Makes two of us." "Clock's ticking, sir." "If we want to reach the site on schedule, we gotta bolt now." "You heard him." "Load up." "And keep it small. 2 trucks." "Police back up." "This ain't gonna be a parade." "May I say a little something?" "Sure, Norris." "Heavenly Father, we ask for your strength and courage to guide us." "Watch over us so that we may preserve your glorious creation." "Earth." "Amen to that." "Nice touch." "You mean, not bad for an asshole." "Yeah, something like that." "He doesn't look too good." "No... he doesn't." "Sweet!" "It 's about time we brought a babe on one of these gigs." "Forget it, Styles." "Her IQ is high." "You know what they say." "Only a fool underestimates the style of Styles." "Right." "What is that?" "I never get what that means." "You just worry about getting us out of here when the time comes." "No sweat, man." "Something tells me it won't be hard to find a runway." "General, we have a problem." "Gentlemen." "We've lost contact with the unit." "Beckett 's daughter is missing." "What?" "Last report placed the evac unit in a tunnel outside Pasadena." "Report just came in of a tunnel fire in that area." "No survivors." "Sir." "It 's Beckett." "Greetlngs fromHollywood." "We're onroute to the site." "ETA slxty-flve minutes." "Well done, Colonel." "How's the team holding up?" "So farso snazzy." "We're aheadofschedule." "We're wonderlnglfwe couldcatch some surf." "It wasn't crowded." "Perhaps another time, Colonel." "Slr,about mydaughter." "Has there beenanyword?" "You'll be happy to know that I just got off the phone with her." "Howdldshe sound?" "Tough." "Like her father." "She'sagoodkld,slr." "Imlssher." "I'm sure she feels the same." "We'llchecklnassoon as we place the device." "Goodenough." "Moore out." "How old is she?" "Fifteen going on thirty." "You'd like her." "She thinks I'm an asshole too." "Smart girl." "Yeah, she sure is." "Her mother died when she was five." "Night of the funeral, I was crying and... she came in and she said..." ""Don't worry, Daddy." "It 'll be okay." "I won't ever leave you."" "Daddy's little girl." "And then some." "You're lucky only having one." "Me?" "I don't sleep at night." "You're too busy knocking knees." "Number eight 's on the way." "The best." "Being there when they see the world for the first time." "The best." "Yeah." "I guess it is." "He deserves to know." "The hell he does." "I know Beckett." "If I had even blinked, he'd be out trying to find her." "At the expense of the mission." "And if she's really dead?" "Well, then it makes no difference, does it?" "You are one cold fish, General." "That 's the way the country likes it." "That 's how we win wars." "This isn't awar!" "Of course it is." "We're talking about a kid here." "Fourteen." "Fifteen." "What if she's still alive?" "Do you have any ideawhat could happen to her?" "I'll try not to think about it." "Shit!" "Damn it!" "Daddy!" "Here!" "Right here!" "Right here!" "There's nothing here." "We're clear." "What the hell is this?" "Stay put." "We'll check it out." "What do you mean, they stopped?" "They're 3.4 miles from the site." "You get me Beckett on Satcom." "Yes, sir." "What is it, Colonel?" "I don't know yet." "Stand by." "Keys in there?" "Yes, sir." "What about the gas?" "It 's empty." "I don't get it, Colonel." "Hey, Styles." "Copy." "Check the map." "Plot us a new route around this." "Sniper fire!" "Back up!" "Get down!" "Back up!" "Christ!" "Norris, lock them down." "Satcom is down, sir." "Christ." "Give me thermal." "Now!" "Get out of there!" "I'm trying!" "Damn it, Mac." "Where are they?" "I'm on it!" "Sniper!" "Rooftop!" "Nine o'clock." "Mac." "Styles." "Lay down cover." "On three." "One, two, three!" "Gunfire?" "Yes, sir." "Automatic weapons fire." "What the hell is going on?" "Keep your head down." "Norris!" "Cap a Slim Jim!" "Stat!" "Order up!" "Oh, my God." "Just stay low." "Oh, my God!" "On my mark." "Cover!" "Three, two, one." "Hit it." "Oh, Christ." "Tell me that wasn't..." "No, sir." "Nukes are stable." "Then what in the hell is going on out there?" "General." "It 's the President." "Who the hell were they?" "Jackers." "Been at it all night from the looks of things." "Probably figured anything being escorted is worth ashit load." "Nukes?" "Stable." "They shot the transmitter." "We won't make any phone calls." "Smart move, Beckett." "Walking into an ambush." "Really good." "What 's our vehicle stat?" "Total write off." "Nothing's moving." "Colonel!" "Heavenly Father." "Accept this man's soul into Your kingdom." "A place it shall remain safe for eternity." "Amen." "You and your dad better be right about this." "Break out the gators." "Tom." "President." "What happened?" "They were attacked." "We lost contact." "What is the status of the nukes?" "Stable." "For the moment." "Tell me you have a contingency." "I've mobilized the AWACs." "And we're waiting for your orders to send in the gunships." "Sir!" "They're moving." "Can you confirm who has them?" "No, sir." "But they are definitely back in play." "Could be a terrorist element." "Could be a rogue militia." "Excuse me." "I have to base my decisions on facts." "So get me some." "Yes." "I'll scramble the gunships." "We have to proceed as if the team has been eliminated." "What about his kid?" "You can send in another team." "I can't risk it." "There's no time." "General, that city is coming apart." "God only knows what kind of madmen are running loose out there." "We came here tonight looklngforanswers." "God'sanswers." "Andlamhere to tellyou people that Godhasaplan." "That we remember one thlngtonlght." "Rememberthls." "There are no angels left ln the CityofAngels." "They've beengone alongtlme... forthe devIlls the only landlordLosAngeles... haseverknown."

"God said:" ""Let this be a day of reckoning." "A day to gather the sinners and cast them down!"" "He speaksofthe Beast." "Rememberwe have saw the otherface." "Find me repulsive, do you?" "So do I." "Though I've accepted this burden as one I must carry... until that day." "The day He shall descend upon this Earth... and unleash His wrath!" "A day which has finally come." "Please, don't!" "It 's fast, you know." "Faster than you might think." "Just ask them." "There's nothing to fear." "Your time will come... when the dark of night gives way to sun." "Also forcedeveryone smallandgreat... rlchandpoor, free andslaves... to receive amark onhlsrlght hand." "Whlchls the name ofthe Beast." "All right, this is it." "Norris, cut that lock." "Cell sites must be shut down." "Lines too." "I tried a pay phone." "Nothing." "Well, considering we're about to blow up most of LA..." "I'd sure fell better if we could reach out somebody for the okay." "I'd be more worried about drilling a hole with this shit." "Can you do it?" "You bet." "If I've to get down there and lick a drill bit clean myself." "Good." "So the rabbi turns to the priest and says:" ""Hell of a lot better than pork, ain't it?"" "You get it?" "Pork?" "I know what you're thinking." "Good looking, smart and funny." "Too good to be true." "So... do you wanna..." "I don't know, grab a beer or something later?" "I'm talking after we nuke LA, so we might have to go someplace else." "Come on, doc!" "Let 's pick it up!" "This guy, man..." "I'll get him." "She'll come around." "Just looking for my second wind." "You've been doing it all night." "I'd say it left you about five years ago." "Oh, Julie." "I haven't seen you." "It doesn't mean I have not been thinking of you." "Thinking about someone and being there are two different things." "We're glad to see you got one of them right." "We should keep it moving." "Yes, we should." "He never should have come." "It 's his show." "He likes running it from the front lines." "Doesn't trust anyone but himself." "Must have been tough... growing up with that." "Not really." "He wasn't around enough to do any real damage." "All right, people." "Cash and carry." "Let 's move!" "It has to be them." "They're still heading toward the target site." "At that speed?" "lmpossible." "Are they carrying the damn things?" "I want visual confirmation that our team has those devices." "Yes, sir." "Tango seven, we needa visual conflrmatlonofthe target." "Over." "Rogerthat,Command." "Should have a vlsualanysecond." "Tango seven,do youhave a visual?" "Negatlve." "There'sno sign..." "Checkthat." "I've got ATV tracksgolnglnto the tunnel." "Yes!" "They're in." "And still on schedule." "Let 's hope it stays that way." "I can tell you this about Ryan:" "he never quits." "I'm not worried about Beckett." "It 's the rest of the world." "All right, people." "Okay, hold on." "Talk to me, Doc." "Another thirty meters should be optimal." "Mac, you and Dr. Sallin head to the site." "Norris, you go with them." "Get that rig up and running." "On the bus, Gus." "Styles!" "Find aspot to park that second nuke." "And don't touch it." "But it 's so sexy." "Not bad." "We've got 15 hours." "8 hours to drill. 4 hours to evac." "Three hours to buy some popcorn for the main attraction." "Unless we hit another snag." "What is your purpose here?" "You're starting to wear out your welcome." "Well, why don't you ask Ms. McGrath?" "Since she's the reason I was brought along." "Go ahead." "Tell him what you told the President." "How you didn't trust him to get the job done." "Colonel, I didn't..." "Well, now you know, Colonel." "They sent me to pick up the ball when you've dropped it." "I've never dropped it." "Yes, just be careful." "Make sure the flutter valve isn't obscure." "Good." "Good." "I'm not going to tell you your jobs." "Would you know it?" "LA's last night and not an ounce of smog in the sky." "Okay." "You wanna know the truth?" "Yeah, I had some doubts about you." "You don't say." "What did you expect?" "You didn't make the best first impression." "You mean saving your life?" "You must really hate him." "Leave the psychobabble to pros." "God knows I've heard enough of it." "I've spent most of my life..." "listening to people tell me what a great man he was." "How proud I should be that he was out there... making the world a better place." "He was always the same." "The night before he left... he'd take me out back." "We'd look up at the stars." "And he'd say:" ""You'll never be alone, Jules." "Not with all those stars."" "And then he'd leave." "You'llneverbe alone,Jules." "Not withallthose stars." "Be ablgglrlnow,Jules." "No tears."

"Now at the rate of this acceleration... one explosion won't be enough to stop it." "We'll detonate the other nuke." "Is that what it says?" "Here." "Take a look for yourself." "Have you done a full diagnostic?" "Have you calculated the relative and peripheral motions?" "Yes, I did it all." "And I'm telling you." "I think I'm right about this." "You "think" you're right." "Jules, have you got any ideawhat will happen if we overcook this?" "We could have aseismic effect that would destroy every city... on the Pacific seaboard." "You want us to risk this because you think you're right about this." "Now there is a distinction between thinking you're right... and being right!" "And you should know that by now!" "Is that it?" "Is that all you have to say?" "There's a great deal I could say." "I'm sure there is, but we don't have time to talk about it right now." "Look at the numbers again." "Run your own peripherals." "But don't just ignore this data because it 's coming from me." "Stop being irrational!" "Is it really that difficult for you to admit... that for once in your life you are wrong about this... and that I am right?" "I am right about this!" "Right about what?" "The second nuke." "We're going to have set it off." "That is not true, Colonel." "The hell it 's not." "Look, we never took into account the seismic disruptions." "With every quake, the speed of the plate changes." "Now based on the current velocity... one blast won't be enough to stop it." "I'm not authorized to do that." "Well, call someone." "Get some fucking authorization." "Unless you want to be the guy that didn't save us because of asignature." "All right." "Let 's say for asecond I buy into this." "What 's the game plan?" "Now just a minute, Colonel." "Ladies first, Doc." "The second blast has to occur near or at the same depth as the first." "Fine." "We'll drop them both." "No, no, it doesn't work that way." "They're not cumulative." "Ground zero for the second device... has to be at least ten miles away from here." "We have to spread out the force." "Jesus Christ!" "I ran the numbers three times." "We haven't time to dig a2nd hole." "You don't need to." "She's wrong." "I thought all the cell sites were down." "Go for Beckett." "Colonel, General Moore." "Hello,General." "Yourtlmlng'slmpeccable,slr." "We thought we lost you last night." "What the hell happened?" "We encountered some resistance." "Not everyone's evacuated the city." "Listen, Ryan." "The President is here." "He understands the situation." "Are we still on schedule?" "For the moment." "Though it appears we may have another problem." "What is it, Beckett?" "Ms." "McGrathsaysit'snecessary... to detonate the secondnuke." "She says it 's the only way." "Does the doctor agree with her?" "Actually no." "He believes one should do the trick." "Dr. Sallin is our chief advisor on this mission." "His word is gospel." "Do you understand?" "Colonel,do youcopy?" "Yes, sir." "I copy." "By the way..." "I got word that your daughter's on a plane to DC as we speak." "Thanks, General." "Always knew I could count on you, sir." "You have to believe me." "If you don't do this, Anderson, Styles... it will mean nothing." "Mac!" "Yes, sir?" "How close are you?" "In the zone." "Ready when you are." "Fine." "Prep the nuke." "Let 's get it down there." "Norris, give Fingers ashout." "Make sure he's ready to roll." "All right." "Where do you think you're going?" "I have an errand." "I'm on schedule." "An errand?" "Nobody leaves until we complete this mission." "You see that?" "That 's my daughter." "She's still in the city." "Colonel Beckett... our orders are to complete the mission." "I advise you stay where you are." "Consider me advised." "I'm going to have to insist." "No one's ever pulled aweapon on me without using it." "So be it." "The ball's in my hand now, Colonel." "It 'll hurt." "Trust me." "You okay?" "Peaches, sir." "That 's your kid out there." "Go get her." "Give me an excuse." "You okay, Doc?" "Yes." "I'm fine, I'm fine." "I just want to check one thing." "What the hell are you doing?" "I'm coming with you." "Like hell you are." "There's no other way, Colonel." "I can't activate it." "Only you can." "Where are you?" "Brothersandslsters..." "Thogh we walkthrough the valleyofSanFernando... we fearno evil!" "Hearthe Lord!" "We have obeyedHlm." "I don't have time for this." "You better make time." "Otherwise, there won't be aworld left for you and your daughter." "It 's your choice." "What if you're wrong?" "She's not wrong." "You were right, Jules." "One blast will not be enough." "That was good work." "Absolutely first rate in fact." "Yes, well, anyway..." "Remember: at least ten miles from here." "You know... in all the time we were apart, there was never... a day that I did not miss you." "There was never a minute that I wasn't proud of you." "And there has never been an instant... that I did not love you." "Wait." "I love you." "And I love you." "Always." "You've got to go now, girl." "Go on." "Go and do it." "Is this thing insured?" "Probably not." "We're going hot." "2 hours." "What 's our evac status?" "We're cool, man!" "Just phone home when you're on the way, baby, okay?" "Copy that." "Norris out." "Shake your groovy thing, baby." "Yes,people,it Ishot, we allknowit." "But yourfaithln the Lord..." "It 's time." "No!" "You can scream all you want." "Oh, baby." "Daddy!" "I'm here, sweetheart." "Ryan." "It 's okay." "Honey, where's Tara?" "Where's she?" "She's... she's gone." "Daddy!" "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "It 's okay now, honey." "I'm here." "You're gonna be fine." "I got you." "I got you." "Fifty minutes." "Ryan?" "Fifty minutes." "Can you walk?" "All right." "Yes, sir." "The nuke is set." "But we've got another situation." "Beckett 's gone AWOL with the second device." "Intentions unknown." "Howshouldlproceed?" "Reacquire the device at any cost." "Do you understand?" "Yes,slr." "I'll find him." "Are you a God-fearing man?" "Yes." "Good." "Where are the others?" "Hey, Doc." "You should be careful with that." "Answer me!" "They're setting the device." "Go have a look." "They're just right down there." "You killed them." "You killed them all." "Your gun." "Put it on the floor." "You're a man of science, Doc." "You understand protocol." "That 's all this is." "It 's just... simple science." "They told you to go after them, right?" "They told you to stop them." "Now you listen to me." "Julie was right!" "There has to be asecond explosion!" "What?" "Give me your phone." "Jesus!" "I need to talk to them." "I didn't know." "Nobody knew." "Just... give me the phone." "I have to tell them I was wrong." "Give it!" "You're a good man, Doc." "You love your daughter and I admire that, but... we all have our orders." "Why can't we drop it down asewer?" "It won't work." "It 's too shallow." "It has to be at least a few hundred feet." "All right." "I know a place." "What 's that, honey?" "There's a real deep hole." "I saw it with Matt and Krissy." "Where?" "They're on the move." "Heading east." "Now entering Sunset Boulevard subway station." "Did you get that, Agent?" "Copy that, sir." "I'm on route." "Hurry!" "Where's this vent of yours?" "It 's around the North Hollywood station." "Just past it." "How far is that?" "Six miles." "Could be more." "That 'll take an hour." "We have..." "Thirty-one minutes." "We're never gonna make it in time." "Not on foot." "Not carrying that!" "Do you know how to run this thing?" "I'll improvise." "Not bad." "Now if only I could stop it..." "Did you try using the pedals?" "Thanks, smart ass." "Come on, guys." "Let 's go." "Got that?" "Got it." "Go!" "We can't afford to risk this." "Honey." "Honey?" "Are you sure about this?" "Yeah, Dad." "I'm sure." "It 's down here." "This is it." "What is this place?" "Come on." "Let 's do it." "Holy shit." "This may just work." "What he means to say is you kick ass." "You have to detonate them at exactly the same moment." "Otherwise the first one will wipe out the second one entirely." "That 's what I'm doing." "Syncing them up." "They're on the same internal clocks." "Here." "Use this to cut the mesh." "Honey, you better move back." "This is my stop, Colonel." "Disarm the bomb and step away." "Colonel!" "I'm under direct orders from the President of United States!" "He doesn't have all the information." "One bomb isn't gonna do the job." "One more time, Colonel." "Disarm the device and step away." "It 's already been armed." "You can't do it without the code." "I know that." "That 's the only reason you're still alive." "But thankfully... your daughter here is expendable." "For Christ 's sake!" "Look at the timer." "We're under 18 minutes." "All the more reason for you to do as I say!" "If we don't set this thing off, she's gonna die anyway." "I may not have been there when she was born but I'll be there at the end." "I'm touched." "Have it your way." "Daddy!" "I'll get the disarm code from the General myself." "We're 3O feet underground." "Good luck getting asignal." "This is aswitch." "The good guy's trying to set off the bomb... and the bad guy's trying to stop him." "The good guy?" "Who said you're the good guy?" "You have five seconds." "Shut it down!" "I'm the good guy, Colonel!" "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "Let 's go!" "We got twelve minutes." "Move!" "Move!" "We're not gonna make it!" "The hell we're not." "I'll be damned." "What are you guys doing here?" "They sent me to pick up Kellaway." "Go, go!" "Change of plans, pal." "Come on." "Kellaway is still out of range." "Just find him!" "Lose the signal." "Try again." "We have twin detonations, sir." "Both warheads are go." "Plate movement decelerating." "It 's slowing down." "Stop." "It 's working, sir!" "It stopped, sir." "Well done, Colonel." "CAPTIONSBY VIDEOLAR"
