00:31 Mr. President, there's been an earthquake.
00:33 Where's it located?
00:34 San Francisco.
00:35 You think there'll be more quakes?
00:36 Bigger than what we've experienced so far.
00:37 What?
00:55 What do you see?
01:01 Dad's not coming?
01:02 He still has work to do helping people.
01:03 You want to use nuclear warheads?
01:07 It's the only way to fuse the fault line.
01:10 324, we are at target depth.
01:14 What if I'm wrong?
01:17 I'm authorizing the evacuation of the entire west coast.
01:21 People are still coming in by the thousands.
01:24 We have to get that last warhead in place.
01:28 I'm sure Jill and the kids made it.
01:31 Yeah.
01:32 You want to wait around here and see if you can find them?
01:34 No.
01:35 They just need us, right?
01:36 The army cable's been severed.
01:37 We need all those warheads to go off at the same time.
01:39 We can't get the people out of the cities fast enough.
01:42 It's your family, man.
01:43 You've got to go.
01:44 Despite the numbers, there's a spirit of camaraderie and family throughout the camp as everyone
01:48 tries to make this impossible situation work.
01:53 Can we arm it manually?
01:55 You'd have to go down there.
02:02 Ten, and still climbing.
