All language subtitles for Eve.of.Destruction.2013.S01E02.WEBRip.x264-ION10

i'm dr. karl dameron.

and i'm dr. rachel reed.

and we're the
lead physicists

on the proteus dril
switch project.

tonight, we're here
to announce an experiment

that will change the way
we power our planet.

energy is everything

and we are standing on the brink
of an extraordinary journey.

we have a situation
with the magnetics.

stand by.

a malfunction or a sensor,
or what?

hold it! now!

do you know
who did it?

our intelligence
strongly suggests

an eco-activist group
called p53.

you have a small
window of opportunity

to climb through
here, max.

the president
will look elsewhere

when it closes.

we don't have a successful test
by friday, we are done.

what they are doing
in there is not safe.

what the hell are you doing
in my house!

you don't know
what you are doing, do you?

what are you talking about?

lhitiska.

they had accelerator
close there, too.

today, i saw same lights,
same lightning...

a thousand people died.

proteus is a cancer.

because of my dad?

he doesn't understand
what he's dealing with.

you've got to pick
a side.

right now.

could you seal

the containment chambers,
please?

- what is that?
- i don't know.

we're set.

let's get the dril switch
activated.

mom!

d d

damn! i can't get a line.

it's okay, dom,
we'll find them.

that's my house!

that's my house!

no!

no!

are there people in there?

sir, you can't...

my wife and kids are in there!

get off of me!
my family's in there!

you can't
cross the line.

you can't go in there.

get off me!

no, dom, no!

no, dom, it's too dangerous!

it's too dangerous!

let go of me!

yeah?

dom?

jude! are you okay?

are the kids okay?

honey, we're okay.

we're at king's gate hospital.

they're at king's gate hospital.

dom, we lost mom.

oh, god, no.

what? what is it?

adalina's in there.

what about the kids?
are the kids okay?

it's henry.

he's burned.

it's bad.

oh, no, no, no...

tell me! tell me,
what is it?

it's henry!
henry. he got burnt.

what about tara?

she's with us.

she's fine.

she's with them.
she's fine. she's fine.

all right, honey,
hang in there.

we're on our way.

we've got to go
to kingsgate.

come on.

come on!
come on, now!

...thanks, erin.

the fire has affected
about 10 square blocks.

we've been talking with
fire officials

and the mayor's office,

but there is no information
on the cause of the fire

in this usually small
and quiet community of mayfair.

we lost mayfair.

how big of
an area went down?

uh...

i've got a central core
of about 10 blocks

that's just disappeared...

with peripheral outages
radiating into another 10.

this fire is massive!

i didn't see this coming.

don't worry,
me neither.

check all
the trunk lines

and see if
we missed a surge,

or if there was
a substation failure.

no, no, no, i got nothing.

there's no incoming surge
in the system at all.

everything's down
in that area.

better get
the troops rolling in.

call in the disaster plan.

copy that.

this is grid control
calling all mobiles.

please call in for assignments.

what's wrong?

the switch went offline?

did you shut it down?

no.

no, the beam energy
dropped off the scale.

the superconductors
get too warm?

no. cryo at full efficiency.

no lag.

did you get the luminosity
in the drill?

checking now.

yeah.

the optics are gray.

lots of collisions.

i saw something.

saw what?

some kind of aura.

play it back?

yeah, what is that?

it's a burst of free protons

hitting the nitrogen
and the oxygen in the room.

very high energy.
where'd they come from?

they scattered out of being

when they passed
through the dril,

but we've never made
particles

this energetic before.

there's some models
that suggest

that there might be
microscopic shockwaves,

and that would
kick out particles.

look, we were just there.
everything's on fire.

it's all burning.
it's like hell in there!

my son's been hurt, okay?

we're heading to
the hospital right now.

i'll call you back
when we get there.

grid control says

that the fires must have
been set by a power surge

that blew out
all the relays,

so everyone's getting
sent there to help clean up.

that was no power surge.

what are you talking about?

what are you,
an engineer now?

just drive!

i know.

...doesn't appear
that the fire started

in one small area and spread.

it seems to have erupted
everywhere at the same time,

fueling speculation
of terrorism or arson.

now, a number of people
have been taken

to kingsgate hospital.

i'm amal pratap reporting...

you're not
actually suggesting

that the pretest had
something to do with this?

i don't know,

but don't you think

the timing's
a little convenient?

yeah, but what are
the odds, karl?

please don't jump
to conclusions

until we've at least
reviewed the data.

but mayfair's not
by the airport, is it?

no. no, it's on
the other side of town.

all right.

ruby is
at a friend's house.

i'm just checking.

yeah.

there they are.

oh, thank god, you're okay.

oh, baby.

thank god,
thank god, thank god...

i thought i'd never
see you again.

what are they doing
with henry?

i don't know.

it's so crazy in here.

nobody will tell me anything.

henry...

hey...

you be strong,
buddy.

everything's going to be okay,
all right, henry?

i promise.

i'm so sorry
about your mom.

what happened?

oh, jude...

i'm glad you're okay.

jenna...

i'm sorry

for everything i said.

i...

i'm sorry for everything.

seeing anything?

it's clean.

no damage at all.

no structural defects.

nothing out of the ordinary.

there's no anomalies
whatsoever?

you don't have to sound
so pleased.

oh, i'm not pleased.

not that you've chosen
this particular moment

to get into a philosophical
"we're not god" argument

and try and stop
the experiment.

it's not about whether
we're playing god or not,

it's about whether we know
what we're doing or not.

if...

we create a black hole,

it will be impermanent
and evaporate.

we're not dealing with a known
part of the universe here.

the physics of dark energy
is a new frontier.

it could be as counter-intuitive
as quantum physics.

well, of course, it could be.

it's just that, right now,

we have absolutely
no evidence of that.

well, the evidence

is staring us right in the face,

but for some reason,

you're just choosing
not to look at it.

you know what's staring me
right in the face?

it's whatever the hell is
going on between the two of us.

are you serious?

you're beginning
to sound like my daughter now.

oh, don't condescend to me.

i am not your child.

although,

that's part of
the problem, isn't it?

you resent me.

i guess it's all
coming out now, huh?

it's the truth, isn't it?

you've never
given me credit

for what i brought
to the table.

and it eats at you

that your ideas aren't complete
without mine.

i embraced that, karl.

i was happy to find someone
who made me better,

who showed me things

i would never have
thought of before.

and that's what
i'm trying to do right now.

no, you're not.

you're obstructing,

and you are trying to sabotage
out life's work.

yeah, you know what,
you're being ridiculous.

mission accomplished.

she got us
all her dad's data.

good job.

you've made a big
contribution, ruby.

what you've done
will really help.

tomorrow, we'll make
a real statement.

uh, what are we
talking here?

what kind of protest
is it going to be?

well, you have
a voice.

we all have a voice.

if we raise them up together,
we can make a lot of noise.

we have to make
our voices heard.

everything's
going to be cool.

you just have to trust me.

do you trust me?

i won't
steer you wrong.

mahatma ghandi said

"a small body
of determined spirits

"fired by an unquenchable
faith in their mission

can alter
the course of history."

and what's going on
with the cryo accident?

a couple of
cranky lawyers,

but we've reached
a settlement

with both families.

good.

what about p.r.?

so far, so good.

we've managed to keep
the exposure to a minimum.

billy what's the latest news
on the d.o.e.

all inquiries
are to be handled

by the executive branch.

from there, it gets
directed up to homeland,

if deemed necessary.

well, let's make it
unnecessary.

we have the quarterly reports

from genetics
and pharmaceuticals.

do you want to
run through those now?

how bad is the bad news?

double-digit bad.

well,

then we all have the incentive

to keep the dril project

on schedule.

karl and rachel
are on their way up to see you.

all right, everyone.

i think we all know
what the company line is.

thank you very much.

we have
a little problem.

what would that be?

mr. salinger wants
a little insurance.

why?

he's concerned

that karl and rachel

may not have
their eye on the prize.

what's that
supposed to mean,

that they're not
fudging the results

to your satisfaction?

make sure that
we have access

to all the data
from the experiment.

that doesn't make any sense.

why wouldn't you have access

to your own experiment?

well, mr. salinger
wants to ensure

that we have immediate access
to all of the data,

no matter how thorough
karl and rachel want to be

before they release it.

you own
all the computers.

that shouldn't be
too hard.

well, it's just that
they hold certain patents

on elements
of the dril switch

that karl has gone to
the trouble of encrypting.

uh, i thought that was
a company directive,

to prevent industrial espionage.

well, it was.

see, but that's not
the concern right now.

we want you to install

an alternative
data collection system.

so, what,

you have another team
of scientists ready to swap in,

just in case?

good morning.

morning, max.

i assume you're here
to talk about

the unfortunate malfunction
of the magnet yesterday.

let me just head off
some of your concern.

i got my top people
working on this.

they're going to
make sure

that the workers
and their families

are very well
taken care of,

very well compensated.

well, i'm relieved

everything is going so well
in the boardroom.

i'm not convinced
the same could be said

for the control room.

why is that, karl?

it would be
irresponsible of us

to go forward
with this experiment

with so many variables
unresolved.

oh.

i pay you
to remedy those things.

well, there's been

a series of
unexplained variances

that we think might have
triggered the accident.

well, not to be
too blunt,

but i don't give a rat's ass
what you think.

i care about
what you know.

we don't know anything yet,

which is why we're
advocating for a delay.

it could be as short as
a few weeks,

until we figure out
what's going on.

well, i'm advocating
something, too, karl.

i'm advocating

that we keep
this thing on track,

'cause, as my daddy used to say,

"there's no need
to go out huntin'

when the food is on the table."

but, what about
the fire in mayfair?

what about it?

well, karl thinks

that the test
may have triggered it.

seven years ago,

there was a similar anomaly
in a small town in russia

called lhitiska,

which happened to be
in the same general area

as a particle accelerator.

lhitiska, huh?

what kind of anomaly?

the town is... gone.

it's been wiped off the map.

you know, that sounds like

just one great big pile
of horse manure to me.

but i'm positive

that they were also doing
experiments with dark energy.

so, based on that,

your finely-tuned
scientific brain concluded

that our pre-test

set a fire miles away

through some kind of magic.

well, science seems like magic

until you make the effort
to unravel it

and understand it.

that's what science is.

ah.

what do you say?

i think with
the necessary repairs,

and some minor
adjustments,

that the experiment

can go on
as scheduled.

how could you possibly
say that?

karl, listen to me,
this is your time, okay?

it's not mine,
it's not rachel's,

not anybody else's.

this is the pinnacle,

this is the moment

when your mind
can change the world forever.

all right,
listen to me,

you said i had
complete academic freedom

when i came to work with you,

that i would have
control over my experiments.

in fact, i demand it!

oh, you have it.

i wouldn't dream of interfering
with your creativity.

i'm just giving it a time table.

today.

now, your partner here

is one hell of
an extraordinary woman.

you should listen to her
more often.

so, good luck on the test
this afternoon.

i'm going to be
up in the atrium, okay?

so, you make me proud,
now, you hear?

hey, thanks for
your show of support.

maybe later
you can help me

get the knife
out of my back, huh?

come on, you knew
he'd never go for it.

that delay would
cost him millions.

let me ask you something,

so you're willing
to throw away

your powers
of critical reasoning

and a 15-year relationship

for the sake
of some money?

some money?
some money!

that money funds
our research.

without it, you don't get
to ride your high horse.

ah... that's it, isn't it?

i just think the magnetic array
can be fixed, all right?

and this theory
about lhitiska?

i'm sorry, not so much.

no, here's the truth.

you've given up
on your principals and me.

oh, you're overreacting,
but that's not a major surprise.

what the hell
is that supposed to mean?

has it even occurred to you
that you might be wrong?

all right, you listen to me,

that russian knows
what's actually happening.

i know he does.

he's just a lineman.

and einstein
was just a patent clerk.

all right,
i've got to go to talk

to denver power and light.

so, where are they
taking him?

i'm not sure.

i just got paged.

sorry i haven't been able
to talk to you yet.

we're prepping at least
10 patients for surgery.

yes, he's been put at the top
of the priority list.

why?

is it that bad?

his injury is severe.

nerve damage,

deep tissue burns.

i have to tell you,
he may lose his hand.

no... please...

there's still
a chance to save it.

don't give up hope.

oh, god, dom...

it's okay.

hey.

um... you okay?

yeah, uh, i'm...

why wouldn't i be?

i was just checking, you know.

there's been some fires.

i'm at izzy's,
so i'm-i'm fine.

please come home.

i will.

i gotta go, dad.

okay.

i love you, ruby.

okay. bye.

you okay?

i need to know
what we're doing.

what are we doing?

we're going to go over it
in the van.

i don't know.

this is starting to feel weird.

like, my dad isn't
a bad person, you know?

this isn't about your dad.

just stick with me.

you'll be okay.

i don't know what i would do
without you.

then why are you being
so cold to me lately?

i don't know
how to relate to you.

what's wrong with you?

i don't know.

why can't you just love me?

i do, jenna.

i do, but it...

i always feel like
i'm letting you down.

always.

i just...

i can't take it anymore.

i'm sorry, rus.

i really can't get
into this with you.

i just need to know

if there's something
wrong in the system.

you can read the report
when it comes up.

be about three months.

forget the report.

i just need to know
if something is wrong.

so, you're saying
it appeared out of nowhere?

nowhere, okay?

we didn't miss anything.

there was no malfunction
in the system.

there were no surges
from the power lines.

we had a 1.7 gigawatt spike
that appeared like magic.

that's what it was.

and that's it?

you have no idea
where it came from?

if i knew, don't you
think i would tell you?

that is my job,
in case you don't know.

the phones are ringing
off the hook.

i have to restore service.

i've got crazy linemen
busting in here

wanting to know answers

before it even happens.

what language do you speak?

"we don't know!"

all right, this lineman,

was he russian?

a friend of yours?

do you know
where i could find him?

sherelle?

i just talked to
his partner, dominic,

whose house just
got burned down.

he's over at kingsgate hospital
with his family.

kingsgate.

thank you. thanks.

what are you doing in here?

just running some last-minute
system checks.

well, we have
protocols for that.

there's
no system checks required

until i authorize
the test run.

i was just wanting
to get ahead of the game,

given some the problems
we've been having lately.

you're not
a very good liar, chloe.

i don't know
what you're talking about.

system checks
are done

from the local work station,

not from your laptop.

that's part of
the protocol,

to avoid transmission
of viruses.

could i...

offer you a little word
of advice, dr. reed?

no.

okay, then, i'm just
going to make a statement.

you've been
a great teacher to me,

a great mentor.

young women really need
more role models like you,

women who stand
for science,

math, business.

who sleep their way
up the ladder.

you're a rare breed.

sorry, who are we
talking about right now?

oh, please,
spare me the lecture.

i know all about you and max.

hmm.

yeah, 10 years ago,

and none
of your goddamn business.

did i say there was
anything wrong with it?

and he wasn't
my boss then either.

still,

got you where you are today.

no, no, sweetie,

it got him
where he is today.

you see, that's why
i admire you so much.

you make
your own rules.

just like me.

ruslan, i need to talk to you.

it was from being stupid
and not listening to me.

yeah? feel better?

not really.

i don't know what
you want from me.

i tried to warn you.

you break into my house
in the middle of the night

and scared the crap
out of my daughter?

i think you really need
to work on your presentation.

look. look around you.

this didn't have to happen.

well, i'm trying to
figure out what happened,

which is why
i need your help.

i am not a scientist.

i work on power lines.

they were working with
dark energy in lhitiska.

i'm certain of it.

just have to find out
what the hell happened.

what did you see?

what i saw here
was smaller,

was just a speck.

all i can say is
that you're lucky.

compared to lhitiska, this,

this is nothing.

but it's the same, right?

yeah.

then this is just a warm-up.

the full experiment isn't due
to run for a few hours...

what?

you must stop them.

i'm trying to stop them,

but i need to find out
if what happened in lhitiska

is happening now.

and you were a witness, so...

whatever you remember.

i remember.

that's the problem.

everything disappeared,

but my memory, it never goes.

are we good?

you can tell max
we're on schedule.

the experiment is good to go.

start the clock.

t-minus three hours
and counting.

initiate the proton
and anti-proton breeders.

system is operational.

bringing it online.

running system checks.

how's the cryo system looking
on that magnet we replaced?

everything's right
on the baseline.

all right, people,

i want every system checked
and rechecked

before we initiate,
is that clear?

okay.

thank you.

homeland security?

well, we thought it was
the smart thing to do.

after our talk,

i thought you'd appreciate
our concern for security.

i do.

we just don't want to make
a meal out of it.

the president's focus

is on the positive potential
of this technology.

uh-huh.

hey, good to see you.
thanks for coming.

this is our
state-of-the-art campus.

ah, konichiwa.
konichiwa.

thank you for coming.

let's get you a drink.

after the flash
and the lightning,

the aura was still there.

i could hear them
over the radio.

they were going crazy
in the lab.

some of them
were my good friends.

physicists like me?

they told me to go
to the main substation

and increase the power

because they couldn't
stop it,

or control it...

i can't remember.

but they said
their only chance

was to flood it
with more power.

all i could think about
was my family.

my friends, they were
scared to death,

so i did
what they asked.

i bypassed all the relays
as fast as i could,

and i poured all the power
i had into them.

that's when the lab exploded.

all right, all right, but...

that-that fixed it?

the incident was contained
by flooding it with power?

i don't know.

what is "fixed"?

i lost my love.

i lost my babies.

how can you fix that?

no...

why didn't you
tell me?

i didn't know

that you were hurt
like that.

i would have
helped you.

it wasn't for you to carry.

it was mine, not yours.

is not fair to you.

it was mine...

is not fair to you...

don't be scared.

everything's going to be cool.

you just have to
stay committed.

we talked about this.

we're on the front line.

you still haven't told me
what we're going to do.

every news organization
in the world

is going to be following
this event.

it's up to us to let them know

that we won't stand for

this kind of violation
of our universe.

d d

what's the matter?

you know, i actually
don't appreciate

people looking
over my shoulder.

well, someone's always
looking, doctor.

what are
the radiation readings

in the dril switch?

normal.

accelerator is at full power.

cryo is stable.

we're at t-minus one hour
58 minutes.

all right, seed
the protons into the beam.

check the calibration,

then take a look
at the readout

from the e particle
detector,

from the pretest?

what about it?

there shouldn't be
anything there.

there were no collisions.

there's massive output,
but no detection.

come here.

what does that
look like to you?

more to the point,
dr. reed,

what does it
look like to you?

we need to shut down.

okay.

in and out.

let's go.

should be up here.

let's go.

what are we
protesting here?

it's a bunch
of generators.

this supplies
all the power to proteus.

and?

put your mask on.

rachel?

hey, did you talk to the dpl?

yeah, they had
an unexplained spike.

there was an event

buried in the data.

it doesn't make sense,

but i calculated
the amount of energy

that should have been released,

and it was close to...

1.7 gigawatts?

yeah. you were right.

look, i stopped the experiment.

i'm on my way to tell max.

if you never
hear from me again,

then ask jackson
where the body's buried.

i gotta go.

okay, let's go.

thanks, daddy.

excuse me.

sorry.

i need a word.

would you excuse us?

oh, don't leave
on my account.

i'm happy to hear
what she has to say.

it's good you've kept
your sense of humor.

kind of need it around
the white house these days,

don't you?

let's do this.

what's that?

flavor of the month.

okay, you guys take
the main relay

on the south side.

here.

meet back here
in two minutes.

security around here
runs like clockwork.

let's get this done.

come on.

i really don't know
about this.

ruby, please,
don't do this to me...

i'm not doing anything!

keep your voice down.

i just...

we're here to blow it up,
aren't we?

you said no guns.

no violence.

what about the goddamn
military industrial complex

and all that b.s.?

listen, nobody's
going to get hurt.

we make
the proteus accelerator go dark,

we stop the experiment
in its tracks.

with all the attention on this,
p53 will go global.

now i get it.

you didn't even like me.
you just...

it's not like that.

just shut up, okay?

i'm not dumb.

you had this whole
thing worked out.

you came looking for me.

yeah, but, ruby,
you can make a difference.

we're trying to change
the world.

nothing else matters.

yes, it does.

my father's in there.

you can't blow this place up.

you can't make me
responsible.

you didn't tell me
about any of...

no!

don't touch me.

i'll scream.

ruby, come on.

listen!

who's there?

help!

they've got a bomb!

someone, please help!

calla! no!

calla, why did you do that?

you killed him.

calla?

calla...

what's wrong?

am i...

am i hit?

oh, my god.

calla? calla?

calla!

i thought
we understood each other.

well, apparently,
you were mistaken.

don't give me that crap.

i'm going to lay this
out for you one more time!

you are not in control!

karl was right, okay?

about everything.

we started
that fire in denver.

how?

look, i can't
explain it exactly.

but there is energy that is
missing from the experiment.

it's energy that never
should have been there

in the first place.

you've got
the same virus as karl.

he's infected you.

virus?

max, it's the truth!

okay?

it's over.

so you either
pull the plug right now

or i will go in there
to your little soiree

and blow the lid off
the whole goddamn thing.

okay, all right, listen.

you're right.

sometimes, i just
get caught up in things.

look, i'm going to need
your help.

i need you and jackson

to draft a quick statement,

something boring
and scientific,

stating that we're canceling
the experiment

due to, uh...

we can say
"inconsistencies in the data."

that'll work.

if you're right,

we're going to get hammered
with lawsuits.

look, i get it that you're
going to tell the world.

just don't admit anything yet.

we're already in
enough trouble as it is.

let's just not make
this mess any bigger.

please.

fine.

he's still breathing.

what?

he's still alive.

help me.

he's not dead.

we need to do something.
help me.

let him go.

we have to get
the bombs out of here.

we can't just let him die.

i'm not a killer.

you're not thinking clearly.

this isn't who we are.

i know, but...

but think about calla,
about what she gave.

this a battle.

we can't lose the war for this.

someone's going to
come and help him,

and when they do,

if the bombs go off
when they're here,

they're gonna die.

this movement will die,

and everything
that calla has sacrificed

will be for nothing.

his life matters, too.

you go get the bombs.

i'm staying with ruby.

get him on his back.

you know,
i am perfectly capable

of writing this myself.

i don't need a babysitter.

mr. salinger wants
corporate oversight,

minimize our legal exposure,

if there is any.

well, we will have to mention
the accident at the magnet.

is it true?

did we really cause that fire?

that's what we need
to find out.

yeah.

we need to advance
the timeline.

when can you make it happen?

um... what did rachel say?

i said, when can you
make it happen.

now is when
you earn your keep, chloe.

a few minutes. not long.

do it.

you're in charge.

all right,

so it's pretty
straightforward.

we're saying that

there were some unexpected
anomalies in the data

that might have impacted
the results of the pretest.

did you want to read this
or not?

no.

no, i don't.

you know, i don't know
how this got so out of hand.

what are you
talking about, david?

that statement is never
going to see the light of day.

there's blood coming
out of his mouth,

and he's stopped breathing.

he needs real help.

hello?

hello?

security.

there's an injured guard
by the main substation.

he needs help.

who is this?

stay right where you are.

vehicles are being dispatched.

okay, wind it up.

full power proton beams
in the dril.

are you sure
about that?

that's a direct order
from mr. salinger.

here we go.

folks!

folks, can i have
your attention, please?

everybody,

ladies and gentlemen,

i'm happy to announce

that we're going to proceed
with our test

just a little bit early.

under budget,
and ahead of schedule.

ladies and gentlemen,

i give you...

our future.

you son of a bitch.

we're getting minute
magnetic fluctuations again.

increase the power.

we need to
strengthen the field.

let's just stick with protocol.

okay, the taps are turned
all the way on.

and the field has stabilized.

let's dig a hole,
as karl would say.

dril switch is active.

there it is.

the doorway
to the promised land.

that is so damn beautiful.

and we have current

being generated
by the dril switch.

oh, my god...

what the hell are you doing?

okay.

he's got a pulse.

you got him back.

ladies and gentlemen,

i give you...

dark energy!

ingenious...

bravo!

was that an explosion?

run!

what was that?

i don't know.

we have to
shut this down.

we gotta go now.

but the guard?

they're coming for him.

there was
another explosion.

both main substations
must be down.

well, if there's no power,

then where is that light
coming from?

the containment chambers
are open.

this is impossible.

there's no power,
but it's still on.

oh, my god.

ruby.

what did we do?

you have to see
what's going on out there!

you won't believe it!

oh, my god!

no.

you've done enough.

everybody, listen up!

calm down!
just calm down!

there is no imminent threat.

we've got everything
under control.

as my mama used to say,

"don't set yourself on fire
if you're feeling cold,

just close the door."

what's happening?
we heard explosions.

we're reviewing the situation.

i was always opposed to
our involvement

in this project.

this is one hell of
an apropos time to weigh in.

i'm sorry
you feel that way.

why are
the emergency lights on?

i don't know.

that's what i'm trying
to find out.

well, let's keep these folks
as calm as we can.

come on...

where's the backup power?

i need that data.

chloe!

you're going to
have to answer for this.

i'm sorry.

i didn't... i didn't...

well, it's too late
for that now.

all that matters

is fixing it.

so you get me
that backup power.

the emergency generators
have to cold start.

they feed power
selectively

to the whole site.

it takes a while.

does anyone know anything
about those explosions?

yuri, go up to security
and see what you can find out.

okay, i'm on it.

do you see?

you see this?

i told you.

she did it.

she ran the goddamn experiment.

you shouldn't
have run at all.

there's the emergency power.

all right, what about
communications?

satellite and cable are down.

looks like cell service
is intermittent.

i don't know about radio.

we just have to find out
what the hell happened,

that's all.

oh, god, karl?

where are you?
are you okay?

why the hell did you
run that experiment?

why? you know what you've done?

denver has been pulverized.

there must be
half-a-million dead!

i know.
i saw it.

but it wasn't me.

look, salinger must have
made a deal with chloe

to run the experiment early.

son of a bitch.

we have an even
bigger problem.

the dril is functioning
outside of the vacuum.

that's not possible.

it is.

i'm looking right at it.

and karl, it's not over,

the energy signature
is increasing.

ladies and gentlemen.

ladies and gentlemen!

i've just been informed
by security

that a general evacuation
of the complex has been ordered

for safety reasons.

please exit through
the main entrance immediately.

thank you for your cooperation
and understanding.

what do you mean?
what the hell went wrong?

we made particles
i've never seen.

wait, run me through
exactly what happened.

all right, when we lost
the substations

and the accelerator went down,

the reaction
in the dril switch continued.

you lost the substations? how?

we don't know, there were
a couple of explosions,

and then everything crashed.

system malfunction,
or something else?

i can't access
the power management servers

to find out.

but, look, that's not
half the problem.

the energy output of the dril

is a billion times
what it should be,

and only a fraction
of that energy

is being released.

what are you talking about?

so, where is
the excess energy going?

i don't know.

back into the well, maybe?

oh, my god,

that's the first thing
that makes sense.

it's feeding itself.

it's feeding itself.

karl, it's going to
happen again.

the energy output
is increasing.

how much longer
until there's another event?

let me see.

according to my calculations,

in approximately 90 minutes,

we will have an event

that will be approximately
a thousand times bigger

than the last one.

oh, my god.

we'll be annihilated.

you're right.

they've stopped this before.

lhitiska?

karl, that event
took out a town.

we can't stop this.

yes, we can.

we just need a lot of energy.

how soon before
your power comes back?

look....

i wouldn't count on it.

we're running on backup power
as it is.

radiation levels
are spiking in the dril.

i have to go deal with this.

all right, listen to me,

i've got an idea.

you keep that dril stable,

and i'll be back to you
as soon as i possibly can.

i will.

you said you sent more power
into the system in lhitiska,

and the system shut down, right?

i don't know if it did.

the lab was destroyed
in an explosion,

that's all i know.

and the aura disappeared,
and the lightning?

right after the explosion,
the skies changed.

it was as if all the lightning
and all the energy

was being sucked back
from where it came.

right, and how much power
was sent in?

at least 200 megawatts,

and that's maximum capacity.

that's it.

they were running
their experiment again.

why else would they need
that much energy?

rachel lost power
at the accelerator.

what we need to do

is take the power
from the denver grid

over to proteus somehow.

do you think
you can do that?

depends how much
the grid has been destroyed.

all right, i've just
got to get over

to denver light and power.

get your partner.

i spoke to
the white house.

the president is
awaiting confirmation,

but orders are pending
for the national guard

and for a special
investigations unit

from homeland.

do you know
what caused this?

not directly,

but my people are hearing
initial reports

that suggest
a terrorist attack.

nothing else makes sense.

well, regardless,

we need to get out of here.

it was terrorists.

we had nothing to do with it.

make sure the president
knows that.

the president will be briefed
when we know all the facts.

of course.

just make sure you remind him

of my deep
and abiding commitment

to his super pac.

i told you
to calm them down,

not create a panic.

why are we evacuating?

denver looks like hiroshima.

this place could be next.

now, security is saying

the explosions
were at the substation.

we need to get everybody
out of here.

find out what the hell is going
on in that control room,

and try get a handle
on this thing!

- you did this, max!
- we all did it!

there's no time for blame now.

we've got to figure out
what to do.

i am doing
everything that i can.

you're on your own.

i've always been on my own.

where are you going?

i need you here.

i can't do
anything here, jude.

i gotta go help.

call me as soon as
henry's out of surgery.

i love you.

i love you, too.

don't worry.

clear the way, people!

all the way through.

what are you all doing here?

i've got my hands full.

do you have power?

yeah, some.

90% of our lines are down.

why?

do you think you can
get any power

over to the proteus campus?

we don't have
any lines going in there.

well, that's why
i have linemen.

i need every single watt
of power you can muster

fed into my accelerator
as fast as humanly possible.

we're not crazy.

yeah, you are.

but how do we plan
on doing this?

can you clear
the network?

well, can you?

have you seen
what's going on outside?

we've got to do something!

well...

you've got some power
coming in from the trunk lines.

you could divert it

from the residential
neighborhoods.

there's so much damage...

you want to go to the north
loop substation, right?

if i can get at there,

we can splice a line
to the accelerator.

and that would give you
about two megawatts of power.

that's not enough.

we need at least 200.

20 lines,

plus transformers.

if we can fix them, there.

and all through there,

we can still send power through.

will this work?

it could.

i'll see what i can do.

i've got to get back
to proteus.

here, take this.

we're all
on the same frequency.

good luck.

what are you doing here?

i want to help.

you know what,

i don't have time
to make you feel better.

look, i talked
to security.

somebody bombed
the substations.

so we're not getting
our power back, are we?

no chance.

what's going on?

not exactly sure.

but we need to evacuate
all non-essential personnel.

everyone,

thank you very much,
but it's time to go.

check on your families,

and be safe.

all right, full evac.

no one in this room except me.

don't you want me to stay?

oh, i think you've done enough
for one day.

that means you, too, jackson.

well, good luck
trying to get me to leave.

fine, i'll take
all the luck i can get.

...off reports of a massive,
destructive event

in denver, colorado,

we have seen similar outbreaks
in singapore,

parts of russia,

buenos aires,

and more information
is still coming in.

there are reports
that a massive fire in paris

is now threatening
the eiffel tower,

and we're just hearing
about widespread destruction

in egypt as well.

now, we have confirmed
the presence of an aura

over central london,

although...

look at st. paul's!

it's unbelievable!

st. paul's, it's gone.

look at it, it's crumbling!

quickly, get closer! closer!

this wasn't
supposed to happen.

stay the course, chloe.

we're going to get this
sorted out.

emergency.

please leave the building
immediately.

emergency.

please leave the building
immediately.

emergency...

where the hell
are we supposed to go?

i heard denver is a war zone.

listen to me,

i'm going to get us
out of here, okay?

but i need you
to do something for me first.

what?

the energy readings from
the dril switch are rising,

they're accelerating.

the emergency cryo unit is
still cooling the dril switch.

you know what,
if i can shut it down,

it might weaken the field
the dril is producing.

i can't access it.

don't you have
a backup system?

no, it's offline.

we're going to have to
do this manually.

this is not good.

this is not good at all.

yeah, i gathered that.

just, uh, just tell me
what i need to know.

uh, we have to get
to the backup cryo system

and shut it down
at the source,

and it's maybe the only way
we're going to regain control.

oh, crap.

are you okay?

are you okay!

will! will!

what's the matter?

my leg!

i think it's broken.

can you get out?
can you move?

are you okay?

i think so,

but...

okay, um...

we're going to
slide you out, okay?

are you ready?

how did we
get here, david?

i guess you and i
are a lot more alike

than i wanted to admit.

i think you have a soul.

i burned mine out
somewhere along the way.

you know, there is a good chance

we're not going to make it
through this, right?

wow, you've really got a knack
for inspiring people.

you know,
if we do live through this,

you may want to think about
motivational speaking.

my father taught me
you've got to have hope.

he always had a lot of hope.

hope and cancer.

funny how that
happens, isn't it?

thank you.

okay, so this is
the backup cryo unit.

i need you to open up
that access panel there.

okay.

all right, got it.

all right.

right, should be
in the local system by now.

damn!

what's that?

nothing, just
got a little shock.

this whole place is grounded
to prevent that.

that shouldn't
have happened.

why is it
so hot in here?

i don't know,

but these readings
are off the charts.

i'm trying to shut down
the system,

but i can't even get access.

looks like it's drawing energy
from the dril switch itself.

i'm completely locked out.

it's starting again.

we need to get
out of here now.

no, we're going to
have to cut the hard line.

well, maybe there's
an off switch.

no, the cryo units

are controlled
by the computer system.

sounds kind of dumb,
in retrospect.

i've patched you into

every denver light and power
radio frequency,

and connected you

to the emergency
cell phone system.

if any of our people
are listening,

they'll hear you.

come in.

come in,
any denver power linemen.

this is ruslan erikeev,
local 321.

this is an emergency call.

how's that?

think you can walk on it?

hey, this isn't your problem.

get out of here,
go find your dad.

he's never going to
want to see me again.

he's going to hate me.

ruby, i'm sorry.

i never meant
for this to happen.

no one's going to
do anything to you,

i promise.

no one's ever going to know
you were here.

i'll say that
i broke into the house,

i stole the card pass.

i'm not going to leave you.

ruby!

dad?

daddy?

i did a terrible thing,

and i'm so sorry,

and i didn't mean to...

okay.

okay, honey, don't cry.

are you okay?

i'm okay, but...

my friend...

he's hurt.

who's hurt?

he's...

he's just a friend,

and i met him at the protest.

but he's bleeding.

and he's hurt,
and he needs help, and...

i'm scared,

and i don't know
what's going on.

all right, honey,
just take it easy.

calm down, okay?

now, where are you?

somewhere on the campus.

i'm not far from the substation.

there was lightning everywhere,

and the light in the sky.

and...

there was some sort of
explosion or something.

yeah, there was an accident
at the accelerator.

what were you doing
at the substation?

they were going to put a bomb
in the substation, but i...

i didn't know.

i swear, i didn't know,

and things just got
so out of control, and i just...

all right, baby, just...

it's okay. it's okay.

i'm so scared, daddy.

i know, i know.

don't hate me.

i need you to open up
that housing

so i can cut the cable.

okay.

okay, move aside.

what happens

if it arcs
when you cut it?

well, then, i'm going to
get electrocuted.

i'll do it then.

no.

no, this is my responsibility.

that's debatable.

step aside.

we're going to
have another event!

i've got to fix this.
i can't...

all right, ruby,
listen to me, baby.

i can't come for you right now,
but stay right where you are.

it's as safe a place
as there is.

i'll come for you, i promise,
or i'll send somebody else.

just stay right there!

what's going on?

rachel just went to try
and shut down cryo,

and i just logged
a massive power surge there.

rachel? rachel!

hey! hey!

hey! rachel!

oh, no.

no, no, no, no...

stay with me. stay with me!

stay with me...

d d

i'm right here with you!

rachel, come back!

rachel?

i heard you the first time.

okay. okay.

okay.

we caused all of this,
didn't we?

how could we cause this?

i don't know.

we were only
trying to stop it.

listen, whatever happens,

i want you to know...

i'm sorry i set you up.

i never thought i'd feel
this way about you,

i swear.

i know how you feel.

wait, where's david?

we have to go back...

shh.

come on, shh.

we don't have
a lot of time.

cutting the cooling system
didn't work, did it?

no.

oh, my god,
what have we done?

come on.

what are you doing
back here?

she's downloading
the experimental data.

you've been here
the whole time?

you could have helped?

i work for max.

i do what he tells me.

you don't work
for anyone but yourself.

really?

that coming from you?

no, just let her go.
let her go...

it's no good.

they didn't come.

they'll be here, rus.

nah.

look!

i knew it.

thank you!
thank you so much.

good. come, come.

thanks for
coming out.

hey, thank you so much.

danny, i need you,
and you to cover there,

and i need you
to cover right here.

are you okay?

yeah. yeah,
i'll be fine.

how much time
do we have left?

what's the rate of growth?

uh...

well, my calculations
were right.

the growth
is exponential,

and in another
26 and a half minutes,

it will be
at critical mass.

man, when i thought

i wanted to make
a mark in time,

i assumed there would be
time to make a mark in.

well, we did what
we thought was right.

ruslan?

this is karl.

are you there?

yeah, i hear you.

did you make it back?

yeah, i'm here.
i'm with my partner, dr. reed.

where are you?

we are just pulling into
north loop substation.

all right, we've got
26 minutes,

and that's pushing it.

we'll get it done.

all good?

where are we going?

mumbai.

we've been building
another accelerator there

for a year and a half now.

i can do india.

i'll take those drives.

sure.

when we land.

let's go.

team nine, i need you
at strathmore street,

corner of 6th avenue.

transformer is gone.

10-4. we're on our way.

team three, are you done?

yeah, we're heading
toward macarthur.

okay, i need
to divert you to shaw.

i got have a big gap
between 121st and 123rd.

roger that.

they restarted
their accelerator in lhitiska

to recreate the experiment.

but how do we
recreate ours

with no power?

all right, look.

see?

now, the two explosions
must have killed the power

right at the moment
of collision, right,

and that's what blew
the containment chambers

out of the dril.

breaching the vacuum.

right?

so, then, if we run
the experiment again

and create another
denser vacuum...

we'd create
an even denser mass.

that's right.

a miniature black hole,

which will consume
the dark energy,

and then, hopefully...

evaporate.

but we have to seal
the containment chambers

in order to create that vacuum.

it means somebody's
gotta go in there.

you can't go in there.

the radiation levels
are too high.

karl, that suit's not going to
last you 15 minutes in there.

have a better idea?
i'm listening.

it's going to get
pretty dangerous in here,

so maybe you'd better get out.

no, no, no.

you're not getting rid of me
that easily.

never mind you've got to
have someone to run the system.

okay.

all right, listen,
if things shouldn't go well,

make sure you tell ruby
that i love her.

i really want her to know.

she knows.

tell her anyway.

you get back here,
and you tell her yourself.

just promise me.

i promise.

all right, rus, here it comes!

got it?

okay, i got it, dom!

rachel?

rachel, are you there?

i'm here.

hurry up, rus!

we're still only
at 168 megawatts.

i'm in!

what's going on in there?

quite the show.

the distortion field's
increasing.

there's free-arcing all over.

the flow rate is increasing.

can you get to the controls?

i can try.

okay!

containment "a" sealed.

yeah, i see that.

can you get to the "b" chamber?

i think so.

where's ruslan at?

ruslan, how are you making out?

i've got the first line.

okay, i've got that.

i'm going to need
a lot more, though.

hey, karl, i've got
the proton breeders on-line.

how's the magnetic array?

unstable.
everything is unstable!

karl!

karl, are you okay?
what happened?

we're not fully operational.

the last section
is still off-line.

they will come through.

karl, dammit! where are you?

are you still there?

talk to me!

yeah.

are you okay?

yeah.

still here.

i have the magnetic array up,
but i don't have the beam yet.

okay.

ruslan, how you doing?

we're running out of time here.

i'm going as fast as i can!

dom, we need a bigger cable!

that's all we got!

try splicing it or something!

it's okay, i'll use this one.

i am reading
a massive increase

in the power of the arc.

what are you
trying to tell me?

the manual lever isn't working.

containment "b" is sealed.

okay, get the hell
out of there.

i'm sending the protons now.

ruslan, i don't have
