Rodrigo!

We have a cease fire!

Why did you kill my officers?

Rodrigo.

Rodrigo, drop your weapon!

Down on your knees!

Down on your knees!

Major, the rebels don't have air support large enough

to level an area this size.

There's no smell of conventional ordnance, no smell of petroleum.

They must have access to something

we're not aware of yet.

Then, respectfully, sir, why don't we eliminate them

before they destroy a vital target?

This is an international peacekeeping mission,

not a sanctioned war.

The only reason your unit's even here is to assist

in the identification of these unexplained demolitions.

And, so far, you've done a pretty

piss poor job of it, Lieutenant.

Since when does Brazil get earthquakes?

I don't know, sir.

Could these tremors be tied to something

that's causing this devastation?

Some kind of induced seismicity?

You mean like fracking, sir?

Yeah, possibly that.

But what would be the cause of this?

That's what we're here to find out for you, sir.

Zeus, Scavenger. Come in, Zeus.

We read you, Scavenger. The general is inbound.

General Norris.

I have Scavenger on the line, ma'am.

What's your SITREP?

We've yet to identify a signature, ma'am.

Seismic weaponry may be a possibility

regarding the tremors.

But still doesn't account for the source of demolitions.

Rule out any type of seismic weaponry.

We're receiving reports of global vulnerabilities

in kind, not just in Brazil.

Did you say global, ma'am?

-Is this a coordinated attack?

Hold on, Scavenger. Would you turn that thing off?

Yes, General.

Scavenger, we are not dealing with weaponized systems.

I don't understand, ma'am.

We're seeing a variety of natural disasters

around the globe.

Earthquakes, fires, floods,

tornados, tsunamis,

even locust swarms.

Locust swarms, General?

Affirmative.

You've been around the world.

You've seen a few battlefields in your day, as have I.

Now you tell me.

What does this look like to you?

Sounds like something out of the book of Revelations,

the end of the world, ma'am.

The frequency and severity of these disasters

are increasing and Cal-Tech has determined

that they're originating from a location

near you at an exponential rate.

Say again, ma'am?

These vulnerabilities are occurring near you.

Copy that, ma'am.

You mention "geothermal" as in volcanic?

Affirmative.

Now I need you to listen to me.

Our priorities in Brazil have changed effective immediately.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm assembling a team of scientists who are experts

in the field of volcanology, meteorology and mycology.

I'm dispatching them to your location.

And they will do everything that they can within their power

to stop this thing.

As of now, your new assignment is to provide a security detail

and assist the scientists in any way that they deem necessary.

Is that understood?

Affirmative, ma'am.

Expect the arrival of these scientists within hours.

As of right now, we have a 12-hour window

before the eruption that will end

life on this planet as we know it.

And that timeframe is subject

to change pending intel.

Copy, Zeus.

New orders received and understood.

Scavenger out.

What do you got for me, Aidan?

Okay, these are our top candidates all within

hour's travel time to Brazil, General.

Hm.

Lynise Hughes.

This is Colonel Nathan Hughes's daughter, isn't it?

Yes, it is, General.

Actually, it's why I pulled her file.

Not only has she worked directly with the military,

she's also one of the best I her field.

-Outstanding. -I try my best, ma'am.

This is Lynise Hughes.

Dr. Lynise Hughes, this is General Brigitte Norris

calling you from the United States Army on a secured line.

I'm a colleague of your father's.

Hello, General Norris. I can't talk right now.

I'm in the middle of something important.

I'm outside of Mexico City.

We're experience volcanic activity here

like I've never seen before.

It's happening everywhere, doctor, all across the globe.

Every continent is experiencing violent volcanoes,

earthquakes and storms.

Now we think that we've pinpointed

the epicenter of these activities in Brazil.

Wait. Brazil?

But there shouldn't be any volcanoes in Brazil.

They're dormant. They've been extinct forever.

Not any more, doctor.

I want you on the ground.

I need your expertise.

I want you to confirm it is indeed Brazil

as the source of these disturbances,

if we can stop it, and how we can stop it.

This is causing a chain reaction

of catastrophic destruction around the world.

Okay, okay.

I'll need a minute to get down. I'm on top of a mountain.

A helicopter is already enroute to you.

They'll initiate contact with you on this frequency

and instruct you where to be for extraction.

I'll also have a full, up to date report

for you to review on your travels.

Okay, General, I'll be waiting. Out.

Meteorologist Dakota Lenna, ma'am.

Magna Cum Laude from M.I.T.

She's currently assigned to INM working on cloud seeding

and weather patterns in areas

suffering from wildfire devastation.

Top of her game, General.

Dakota! Dakota!

-What? -The Army!

-What? -The Army!

They want to talk to you right now!

-The Army? -Get back in the truck.

It sounds important. Come on.

Why's the Army on the phone?

Elliott Rodney, two PhDs, one in mycology,

the other in ecology.

The reason I pulled his file is he's worked

with the DOD before involving mycotoxins.

Sounds good. Call him up.

Yes, ma'am.

Dr. Hughes, I'm Major Oakley Jones.

This is Sergeant Shockley and Lieutenant Rohrbacher.

I'm glad you arrived safely.

Thank you, Major.

-Are you a man of faith? -I am.

Good, 'cause we're gonna need it.

We're expecting two more scientists within the hour.

So please come with me.

Major, I meant to ask you,

I saw a lot of the country burning on my flight in.

Are they wildfires?

Yes, ma'am. Wildfires too.

And I read in the report that we're

in the middle of a civil war?

More of an uprising.

Oh, so that's the original mission

that brought you down here, fighting the rebels?

Government tactical assistance and guidance.

But things have changed drastically

in the last 24 hours, straining those efforts

and altering our priorities.

Clearly.

Did you have a chance to examine

General Norris's file on the way over?

I did.

Assuming all of these global disasters

can be traced to our current events here in Brazil,

what comes next is an eruption that is orders of magnitude

more powerful than anything we've ever seen before.

To break it down Barney style,

molten fire will rain down on every continent.

It'll be followed by a nuclear winter

and all life on earth will perish.

What was that?

That's one of our random phenomenon here,

random explosions.

Yet without the typical acrid smell

that accompanies bombs and incendiary weapons.

We brought on a team from the 71st Ordnance Group EOD

to investigate, but so far they've turned up nothing.

You know what?

I should take an initial reading here.

Okay, there are inordinately high levels

of ambient sulfur dioxide.

It's being violently pushed to the surface

by the volcanic pressure.

That's most likely what's caused the unexplained explosions.

Right, but would that cause the levels of destruction

we've been experiencing?

With readings like this, absolutely, Major.

I mean, those gases could literally vaporize

anything they come in contact with.

General Norris set a 12-hour window?

If that.

But how many hours, I can't say at this point.

I'm gonna need to run more tests at the actual site.

And I need to locate the actual epicenter of this disturbance.

Think you can stop it?

That last tremor felt to me like magnitude six.

And they're just going to get more intense with time.

And based on the readings I just took,

we're too far along in the process to attempt

any depressurization or aperture venting techniques.

So there's only one sure option I can think of.

How much ordnance can you get on short notice?

I'll get you whatever you need, ma'am.

Okay.

I need to locate the epicenter first.

Now we have a general vicinity from Cal-Tech,

this lake Lago Do Fodo.

But it's my company that has

the best geothermal targeting software in the world.

And given that we're using explosives on a grand scale,

I'm gonna need to get as close to the drop zone as possible,

so that I can get a visual reference on the actual

location of the epicenter.

We cannot afford to be off by even as much as two meters.

Copy.

Let me grab my man from EOD to provide you

safe escort to Lago Do Fodo

and if you wouldn't mind standing

in the command bunker over there to wait, it'll be safe.

Of course, Major, but time is of the essence.

Right away, ma'am.

Based on what I've seen so far,

I'm beginning to think that we have a lot less

than 12 hours before the eruption.

Copy that, ma'am.

We getting close?

Approaching now, doctor.

Hey, Major?

How's your knowledge of recent history in this part of Brazil?

-Proficient. -Okay.

Well, volcanoes have been extinct in this country

for a very, very, very long time.

Now I know that industry has decimated the rain forest,

but is there fracking or any other seismic explorations

that you're aware of in this part?

Not that I know of.

There have been reports of large demolitions being used

to clear foliage for the pipelines out of Sergipe.

Okay, that's good to know.

All right. I'm getting extremely high levels of C02.

Now when C02 is detected at the surface,

it means that new magma is running

into the volcanic system,

even though there isn't supposed to be a volcanic system here.

Also, exorbitant levels of sulfur dioxide,

which indicates that the magma is close to the surface

and eruption is definite.

If these levels were any higher, we wouldn't be able to breathe.

Also, judging by the intensity and the increasing intensity

of the earthquakes,

I would say that we are well past the 12-hour mark.

Eruption's gonna happen in a few hours.

Now I can confirm all the information

in General Norris's report.

This is the source of all of the disturbances, this lake here.

But without being able to visually see the epicenter,

I'm gonna need to link up with my company's satellite

and get an infrared image below the surface of the water

so that we can pinpoint the exact location

of the fissure if we have any hope of stopping this.

This shouldn't take long.

What's the matter?

I've lost the satellite link.

I need that satellite link if we're gonna

find the location of the fissure!

I have to have it!

We can do a hard patch through our server back at Foxtrot.

Okay. Let's do that.

Let's Oscar Mike, Lieutenant.

Copy, sir.

What is it, doctor?

This fungus.

I'm practically an expert of flora around volcanic sites.

And I've never seen anything like this before in my life.

When's your mycologist get here?

They should have been here an hour ago.

All right, let's get going.

Okay.

Lieutenant, let's Oscar Mike.

Yes, sir!

You got enough room? You good?

-Yes. -Sorry.

Did they say what the holdup was?

Yeah. There was another storm between the airfield

-and the destination. -Oh.

Why didn't they just circumnavigate it?

Because I didn't want to risk taking us through

rebel-controlled territory, get shot at and kidnapped.

Right. Let's not do that.

Yeah, please?

Go Brazil.

Whoa! Look at that!

I have never seen lightning like that before in my life!

Oh, God! I hope Onyx is okay.

-Who's Onyx? -Oh, he's my pup.

He's tough, but he does not like thunderstorms.

And I had to leave him with my ex-girlfriend.

I hate doing that. I hate doing that.

-Oh. I'm sorry. -Thanks.

So is he.

Poor boy's probably behind a couch shaking.

Oh, I hate that.

How many times are you gonna read through that thing?

-I'm a slow reader. -I'm sorry.

God, it is hot.

It's 40 degrees Celsius outside.

You know the crazy thing?

10 minutes ago, I would've sworn I was cold.

I mean, look at this. We're kicking up dust.

The air is drier than hell.

I don't understand what's going on.

Whoa! Whoa!

That was an earthquake... in the Amazon.

Hey, just get us safe there, buddy, huh?

You're doing a good job. Everything's great.

Everybody's doing a good job.

Look at that!

Look at the trees, complete absence of moss or lichens.

These things should be covered!

I mean, but a catastrophic climate shift

would dry out all the tree trunks.

But this is the rainforest, it's not a desert.

Exactly. That's what I'm saying.

Maybe it's accelerated warming at ground level

due to the extreme weather cycles?

Which would suggest that the weather patterns

are subject to the volcanic activity?

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, that is why I'm here to figure out.

What was that?

It looked like a locust.

Locusts go where the climate's drying out.

Yeah, but this place isn't gonna be drying out anytime soon.

Look! Look, look, look!

Oh, right... whoa.

Yeah, before that gets here,

we should stop and take a quick look.

See if we can't figure out what's happened here

in the last couple of hours.

You think that's gonna be safe?

We'll stay close to the road.

-Okay. Let's do that. -Yeah?

All right. Hey, can you find a good spot to pull over?

We wanna get out and take a look.

Thank you.

-Let's hustle out. -Okay.

Okay.

Soldiers! This is Major Oakley Jones, United States Army!

Major!

Corporal Kyle Tremblay, Canadian Army!

We're getting vermin out of the area

and securing the jungle, sir!

Corporal, we're under explicit orders for nonlethal engagement!

Not anymore, Major!

We're getting fired on and we're gonna fire back!

No more half measures, sir!

Corporal, you're in violation of the United Nations SROE!

Cease fire and fall back on my position immediately!

Ahh!

I got him!

Did you see that, Major? I got him!

Let him go, Lieutenant.

Security for Dr. Hughes is our priority.

Yes, sir.

Doctor!

Wait.

Someone is hurt.

Okay, but stay behind me.

Yes, sir.

Yes, I speak English.

What's your name, son?

Paulo.

I'm Major Oakley Jones with the United States Army.

We're gonna get you some help, okay, Paulo?

There's no help anymore... for anyone.

Okay, Paulo. Hang on...

You don't understand.

Everyone is killing everyone.

There's something... wrong.

It's evil.

Foxtrot Command Scavenger.

Request Medevac on my immediate location... 1CI.

Foxtrot, how do you read?

Major, we've gotta get moving. We gotta go fast.

We don't want to get stuck in that.

Okay. We're gonna have to handle this ourselves.

Let's get him loaded up.

Major...

I never...

I was just trying to protect my crops.

That was the Fifth Seal...

those who are martyred for their faith.

Sergeant Wayne!

Sir, we gotta get out of here.

Okay, let's go. Let's go, Sergeant.

Look out!

You guys better get to higher ground.

I have to get out of here. Good luck.

Go, go, go, go!

Ah, thank you.

Wow!

-You okay? -Yeah.

Oh, that's...

Well... Well...

Looks like we're gonna be here a bit.

No disrespect, Major, you really think

this has something to do with the Bible?

I do. That I do.

Time will tell.

Lt's just hope preventing the Apocalypse

is all part of God's plan.

Amen.

Is that smoke?

Something's wrong.

Where is everybody?

Man, that storm really put an ass whooping on us, sir.

Sure did, Sarge.

Make a sweep.

The other scientists should have been here by now.

Yes, sir.

Where do you think everyone went?

Don't know. No signs of firefight.

There are no shell casings or small weapons damage.

Would they have fled because of the storm?

No signs of rapid departure.

Conditions are bad, but they'd be better off

just hunkering down.

Major, we need to reestablish that satellite link now.

Okay, but just hold on.

As soon as the base is cleared, we'll get the power running.

Sir, it looks like the lightning took out our generators,

So we've got no power? Can we fix it?

Not fast enough.

There's a radio station a few klicks from here we can try.

If it's not damaged,

we can get you linked up to the satellite there.

Then what are we waiting for?

All right, let's Oscar Mike.

So what's the plan?

I don't know.

We were going that way, but the road disappears into the trees.

If it takes a bend, there's a fork in the road...

I think we need to signal for help somehow.

Do you have any matches?

Or a lighter? Or anything?

I have some hygroscopic flares.

I was gonna do some cloud seeding for the fires. Why?

Yeah, yeah, that'll work. Let me have one.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking I start a fire

and try the old smoke signal routine.

Do you think that's a good idea?

Do you have a better one?

Look, with the timeframe that we're on,

we can't afford for help to come to us.

We need to get back to the rest of the group, ASAP.

Yeah, that... Okay, that makes sense.

Look, I've done it a couple of times.

I was in the Boy Scouts. It'll be fine.

Here.

Be careful.

Get Scavenger on the line.

Right away, ma'am.

-Scavenger. Zeus.

How do you read?

Scavenger!

Would somebody fix these damn comms?

Yes, Aidan.

We've lost communication with Foxtrot Command.

Looks like the problem is on their end,

and not necessarily from storm interference.

We did receive confirmation that Doctor Rodney

and Doctor Lenna landed safely at the airfield.

But then we lost communication with their transport

enroute to Foxtrot.

Contact the 4th Fleet.

I want to err on the side of caution

that possibly they could have had a vehicle breakdown

or worse, could have encountered rebel resistance.

I want a pararescue team deployed

to their last known location immediately.

Yes, General.

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

No...

Wait a minute. Are those smoke signals?

-- 00! -I see it.

Look out!

-Hold tight!

Elliot! Elliot! I think I see a car!

-Hey! Hey! -Dakota, wait!

Is that one of your scientists up there?

I don't know who else it could be.

No civilians out this deep in the bush.

No, no, no! Dakota, it's not safe!

We don't know who they are!

Dakota!

Dr. Dakota Lenna?

-Yes. Major Jones? -Affirmative.

Do you know the whereabouts of Dr. Elliot Rodney?

Yes. He's the one making the smoke signals.

There he is!

-Ah!

What the...

Come on! Come on!

Dakota!

Get in!

Let's go, guys.

Dr. Elliot Rodney?

That's me! Nice to meet you.

Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!

Let's go.

Come on!

Are those locusts?

Yes! There's a lot of them, too!

Come on, come on!

Doesn't this thing go any faster?

Going as fast as I can, doctor!

Major, how good of a shot are you?

Did three tours in Afghanistan as a forward recon sniper. Why?

Yeah? That'll do it.

Metharizium acridum!

What, is that like a bug bomb?

Kinda, it's a fungal-oil based compound

that disrupts their oxygen exchange.

Basically kills them without killing everything else.

Oh, God, that's so clever.

It wouldn't destroy all of the birds,

and it wouldn't kill off their food chain supply.

Exactly, exactly.

The fungus attaches to the exoskeleton

and disrupts their exchange of oxygen,

causing organic death without spreading to other species.

Do you spray it?

No, I usually do a controlled burn in the fields.

But the canister itself is pressurized.

If the major puts a bullet through it,

it should explode dispensing a cloud

-It's worth a shot. -Genius.

-Yeah? -Okay, let's do it.

Cover your ears. This gunshot's gonna be loud.

On your count, Major! On your command!

-Ah! -I got you!

Thank you.

-Major! -Hold!

Now!

Nice shot!

Nice shooting, Major.

What happened to your transport?

We stopped to do some tests and there was a flash flood.

It took it and our driver away with it.

Hey, I didn't get your guys' names, by the way.

Apologies. Major Oakley Jones.

This is Sergeant Shockley,

Lieutenant Rohrbacher, United States Army.

Nice to meet you guys.

Thanks for saving our asses back there.

Pleasure to meet you, Elliot Rodney.

Dakota Lenna.

Lynise Hughes. Glad to make your acquaintances,

albeit I wish it was under better circumstances.

Hell, maybe can all go for a beer after this is over, huh?

I hope so.

Major, where are we going?

Radio tower. Comms were down back at base.

Dr. Hughes needs to patch into her satellite network.

Yeah.

I'm confident that I've located the epicenter for the eruption.

But now I need to pinpoint an exact location.

What is your proposed plan of action?

Bomb it.

Seriously? In the middle of the Amazon?

Well, we don't have much time.

And we're too far along in the process

to attempt depressurization or aperture venting techniques.

So this is the only chance we have

of stopping it from destroying the entire world.

That's why I need to determine the exact location

and the exact drop point.

Also, at the rate these earthquakes are escalating,

my guess is this eruption is coming sooner, not later.

I need to get the SAT link up and running

so that I can determine the exact timeframe

before the eruption.

Oh, Elliot, I meant to ask you.

I saw a fungus at the site that did not look familiar.

Orange palette? Black spots?

-Kinda looks like carrots? -Yeah! So you've seen it?

Yes, indeed.

I have a sample of it with me here in my bag.

As soon as we get to the station,

I'll set up a field test.

to determine whether or not it's related

to the geothermal activity we've been experiencing.

Great.

Whoo, this is up here, huh?

What about you, Dr. Lenna?

In my professional opinion,

these are clearly unpredictable weather cycles,

but it's not distinct.

It's definitely the geothermal-related,

based upon all of your tests.

But these erratic weather patterns

are definitely coming from all

of these potential volcanic eruptions.

And it's coming from this immediate area.

How much farther, Sergeant?

Almost there, ma'am.

Okay, we're gonna need to pull over here and go on foot.

If there are any rebel hold outs,

we can't run the risk of them hearing our vehicle.

Stay alert.

This way.

Wait. Does anyone else hear...

Stay close and stay quiet.

-You okay, Sergeant? -Yes, sir.

A headache coming on.

Stay behind us. There's been rebel activity in this area.

Copy that.

This is never going to work.

Why not?

Just look at it.

Once we know the area is secure,

I'll get the radio tower up and running.

Good.

After we locate the epicenter,

it's just a matter of collapsing the volcano's magma chamber.

The Pentagon should be able to provide enough ordnance

to get the job done.

If we're successful, the cataclysmic weather events

should dissipate worldwide.

Assuming all of our findings are sound.

Correct. Bottom line, it's the best chance we have.

Clear!

Lead us in, Sergeant.

Hold, hold...

Move out.

Follow me.

Sergeant, on the perimeter!

Shockley! On the perimeter! Now, soldier!

I need that sat link ASAP!

I can't get a clear channel.

-Well, keep trying. -I am trying!

If today I lose my hope, Lord,

please remind me that Your plans are greater.

Hey, that storm is coming in.

We better have good radios, otherwise

on the tower there won't be a signal.

In a building this old? Yeah, sure.

How's it going, major?

How's it going? Major!

I think the issue's on the tower itself.

Lieutenant!

I'm gonna go examine my funky specimens.

But I need to do that away from everybody, just in case.

I'll be back when I have something.

Okay.

Sergeant Shockley? Sergeant!

He's not our priority right now. That is!

Come on. Let's find the access ladder.

Look, I need to know the exact epicenter of the volcano

so I know how much ordnance that we need.

And I cannot do that without a sat link.

Right, okay.

You, um, you said you had taken some tests earlier.

Can you share some of that information with me?

-Oh, yeah. -Oh, great.

So. This was taken earlier.

Obviously, it's not a livestream

because we don't have satellite access,

but you see all these clouds dispersing?

So they all disperse,

and then they come back together,

which means that there are all correlated,

they're not independent from one another.

Yeah, that's great that you can confirm that.

Exactly.

And you see all these weather conditions?

Uh-huh.

This is what's causing all the locust infestations.

-Copy that. -Yeah.

Okay, so the last piece of the puzzle is that fungus.

We need to figure out if that's connected as well.

Right.

I'm gonna check on Elliot.

Shouldn't you put a mask on?

Oh, I'm not gonna go in. I'm just gonna check on him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah?

-Elliot? -What?

How's it going in there?

I'm almost done.

Great!

How's it looking, Major?

Yeah, looks like the tower got hit by lightning.

Just burned out some circuits and wires.

I'm repairing them... repairing them now.

Just a few more minutes. Any sign of the Sergeant?

I'm gonna go check on the Major.

Major?

Major, where are you?

Up here!

I'm coming.

I'm hung up.

-Ah! -There we go.

-Thank you. -Of course.

We can't afford to lose you.

How is it?

Just some burned out wires.

-It should work now. -Great.

-I'll meet you back down there. -Okay.

-Are my men inside with you? -No, I haven't seen them.

I'll be in in a second.

Shockley, what are you... whoa!

Ah!

How bad is it, Lieutenant?

He got me in the oblique. Missed the organs.

I'm okay, sir.

The antenna's working. You have some paracord on you?

Yes, sir.

Bind Shockley, then there's a skin stapler

in the first aid kit in the Jeep.

-Close that wound up. -Yes, sir.

And be careful.

Shockley's burning up.

Could be malaria... or worse.

Sergeant Shockley became ill.

The Lieutenant's outside binding him now.

I just put him to sleep.

Anybody starts feeling bad, speak up.

This is a particularly bad case of malaria.

Dr. Hughes, what's the status?

I'm working on establishing a link.

It should be ready in a minute.

Okay. Let me call the General.

Zeus. Scavenger?

Zeus. Scavenger. Come in, Zeus.

Zeus. Scavenger.

Zeus, we've been trying to hail you for some time now.

Foxtrot was just hit bad by the storms, General,

disabling comms.

We've had to mobilize offsite.

But our guests have narrowed down the location

of the disturbance and arrived at a plan on how to proceed.

Go ahead.

The only option we have is to drop massive ordnance

on the epicenter and seal the vent.

I'm requesting air assistance to deliver a GBU-43B

to location coordinates soon to follow, ma'am.

Understood. I'll contact the 4th Fleet.

I'll send a Black Hawk and two Chinooks to evac your team.

One with a GBU-43B and the other

with a Massive Ordnance Penetrator.

If one or both of those don't do the trick, then God help us.

Yes, General.

Confirmation ordnance request received, ETA...

three hours.

What are your target coordinates?

I should have them in a couple of minutes.

It's just everything is still running slow

because of all the storms.

Stand by for exact coordinates, General.

Copy. Standing by.

Sergeant Shockley is secured, sir.

Good, Lieutenant.

General?

Scavenger, we're detecting a massive storm system

headed straight for your vicinity, ETA 30 minutes.

Advise you to take cover.

We're inside a solid structure

to ride out any inclement weather, Zeus.

Copy that.

Do you have those coordinates yet?

Yes, it's um...

Everybody okay?

That was the worst one yet.

Oh, God! We lost the connection!

Sounded like the radio antenna, sir!

Zeus. Scavenger...

We lost them.

Let's go check out the antenna.

I have to go secure those samples.

Antenna is wasted.

Crumpled like a tin can with that last earthquake.

No, Major. I need the satellite link!

I understand!

Look, there's an abandoned airfield north of Lago Do Fodo.

We can try to link up there, but it was rebel-controlled.

Okay. Well, we have no choice.

How close is it to the lake?

It's right on the water.

Plus, there's old helicopters and heavy ordnance.

Failsafe if anything happens to our air assets.

Okay then, let's do that.

At least we'll have some options if it comes to that.

-Let's go. -What about the Sergeant, sir?

Escaped. I found his kit by the antenna.

We'll have to move on without him.

Elliot, let's go!

Stay low and move quick.

Hey, Elliot, did you get a chance to learn anything

from the fungus samples you took?

Oh, yeah, yeah. More bad news.

As if we need more of that.

Well, this fungi is similar to a rhodotorula graminis.

That's a fungus found in volcanoes.

Yes, but unlike that one, this one

has an additional membrane which indicates

it originates in water... likely the lake.

The bad news is that it's laced with toxins.

So like most fungi,

if the structural integrity is comprised,

say, for example, if you step on it, it releases spores.

So as far as the major's theory goes,

that it's a malaria outbreak,

it's probably actually this little fungi responsible

for all the symptoms, the disorientation

and fever and stuff.

Yeah, and also with all storms and the weather cycles,

the precipitation's most likely carrying

all the spores into the upper atmosphere.

Correct.

As far as mitigating the infection,

a high dose of oxygen should be enough to suffocate the fungi.

Major! We gotta go!

Everybody! Get in the truck now!

Looks like our route is blocked by the wildfire.

We'll be safer closer to the lake,

but we have to go on foot.

This way.

The lake is only a few miles ahead.

There's the air base.

Follow this river bed around to it.

Hey, guys?

I'm gonna catch right up.

I wanna grab a quick water sample

and verify that the fungus is indeed from here.

I'll stay with you.

I'll hang back and cover them.

Fungus has to exist in a relatively low acid environment.

I'm wondering if this is the place.

Sounds like a plan.

With that added membrane...

I'm pretty sure...

that this is the body of water it's in.

Let's hold. I don't wanna separate the group too far.

Major, we're running out of time.

I can't do anything without that link.

Under normal circumstances,

the volcanic activity would make the lake highly acidic.

Water pH is 8.5.

This is definitely the source of the fungus.

Oh my gosh.

Which makes total sense.

The sediment in the lake is limestone... it's alkaline.

That's how the massive spores have been able to survive.

There's zero acidity.

This is it. We found it.

I wanna collect some more.

You guys, we have to keep moving.

Yes, yes, of course, of course.

So, I'm having a thought. Follow me through on this.

I want to try to combine the fungus and the acridum,

make kind of a concoction.

And douse my little friends with it,

essentially infecting them,

then set them loose on the rest of the swarm.

-That's a great idea. -Right?

That should work.

Bingo, bango, no more locusts.

General!

We just lost both birds carrying our payload over the Atlantic!

This road takes us away from the river,

but it should be faster.

The base is just ahead.

Scavenger! Zeus! Do you copy?

Scavenger.

We just lost both payloads!

I repeat! We just lost both payloads!

-No! -We've lost the payloads?

Affirmative.

We've already dispatched two Chinooks with similar payloads,

ETA three hours.

We don't have three hours, Major!

Dr. Hughes, we can't get that ordnance here any sooner.

It's coming by helicopter off a carrier out in the Atlantic.

No! That won't do! We have to do something now!

Zeus, stand by.

You said that that airfield has helicopters and ordnance, right?

-Yes. -Okay.

Then we handle this right now!

-Scavenger! -Zeus. Scavenger.

We're going to explore possible options on our end.

We'll keep you apprised. Scavenger out.

Okay, let's go. And stay low.

Run!

-Hey, you guys okay? -Yep.

I think we're safe.

That was close.

Hm. There's no guarantee any of these birds are operational,

but there's a Bell Huey and a Chinook.

-Great. -Wait. You can can fly helicopters?

It won't be a smooth ride, but we'll manage.

She'll definitely struggle to gain lift with this heat,

providing I can find ordnance big enough to do the job.

If we can get that helicopter,

I have some hygroscopic flares in my bag.

It might temporarily disperse the warm clouds

and give the helicopter some lift.

Hey, if I go up, I can dispense more acridum.

Keep the locust swarms from choking up the engines

so you guys can carry the bombs!

Check out the Huey. I'll take the Chinook.

Copy that.

Stay here.

When the Lieutenant gives you the signal,

Dr. Rodney and Lenna, you move.

Get up in the air, do what you need to do.

Dr. Hughes, you're with me.

We're gonna take the Chinook.

And do what we need to do.

Good luck.

Come on.

Careful, careful.

Come on, come on.

That should be enough firepower to get the job done.

Okay, I'm gonna use that loader to get the ordnance

loaded up on the Chinook.

Stay put this time.

Come on, Dakota, come on.

Come on!

Dakota, come on!

We're in! Go, go, go, go!

Hang on!

This is gonna be rough with these winds!

Copy that!

Whoa!

Very rough, okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

Hang on!

We're gonna go down if we don't do something about these bugs!

Ooh, ooh, I'm gonna try out my concoction!

-Okay, sounds like a plan! -I'm gonna try right now!

Okay.

When you get a chance, hold open the door

so I can drop the flare.

Yeah. Okay. Just give me a second.

Whoa!

These things are getting in the turbines!

No time for this. Give me your flare!

Are you gonna put them together

and kill two birds with one stone?

-Yep. -That's genius.

It'll clear the skies with the cloud seed

and it'll disperse all the locusts!

That's the idea.

Okay, great.

Wait, how are we gonna light that?

Same way as we did last time.

Yes, but the Lieutenant is flying the helicopter!

-How is he gonna shoot? -Good question.

Lieutenant, does this thing have an autopilot function?

Negative! This is Vietnam era equipment!

Okay. I guess I'll take the shot.

Do you know how to shoot?

I used to go plinking with my dad.

Okay.

That was with his .22 and my BB gun, but that's okay.

I'm gonna give it a shot.

Lieutenant, can I use your rifle, please?

Take it!

Okay.

O-kay! That's a big boy.

Okay.

I need advice on how to shoot a canister

out a moving helicopter into a swarm of angry locusts

and lightning.

Push the selector button to "full"

and make sure you lead it.

Lead it, okay. And when you say "lead it",

you mean with the barrel in front of the target, right?

Affirmative!

On full auto, you wanna lead it by

about two feet below to be safe!

On full auto, the rifle's gonna tilt up

when you pull the trigger!

-Okay, sensible enough. -Yeah, yeah.

Okay, here we go. On three.

-Okay. -One, two, three!

Ah!

Oh!

-I did it! -You did it!

You did it!

It's not working. Oh, it's not...

It's not working!

These things are getting into the turbine engines!

I'm gonna have to put this thing down before we crash!

Go, go, go! Take it down! Take it down!

Go, go!

Whoa!

Oh!

Lieutenant!

-Is everybody okay? -Yeah.

What are we gonna do?

I don't know.

I don't understand.

The acridum didn't kill these things.

Maybe the Hygroscopic aerosols

didn't-- dampened the effectiveness of the acridum?

Of the acridum! Yes, that's it!

Do you have another one?

I have one more.

The one that worked the last time, so...

Okay, okay.

Here.

Lieutenant?

Lieutenant, you take the shot. You throw the canister.

-Okay. Copy. -I'll open the door.

-We got this. -Yeah.

Ready? One, two, three!

It's working? It's working!

Hey!

Major Jones, the locust swarms have been dispersed.

You are clear for takeoff.

Copy, Sergeant.

Dakota? Elliot? Thank you for your work up there.

All right, here we go. Hold on, Lynise.

I should be able to connect to the satellite

using the Chinook systems.

I'm getting a signal!

It's weak, but it's gonna get the job done!

Okay, I got the coordinates.

Go to the north shore of the lake.

You're going to 10.7339 Sierra by 37.5681 Whiskey.

Copy. Adjusting accordingly.

The world is coming to an end.

Don't count our team out just yet.

Yes, ma'am.

Major, are you all right?

Major, did you hear me?

I heard a voice. Like thunder.

Major?

"Come", it cried out.

Major! Where are you taking us?

To Sergipe! We will open the Seventh Seal, doctor!

Major! I need you to turn the helicopter back around!

I saw before me a white horse,

its rider armed with a bow,

an adorning crown upon his head.

Behold the second horse... fiery red!

Its rider armed with a mighty sword

to strike down my enemies.

Major, I've got something for you.

The third horse!

A black one!

Its rider baring the scales of justice...

Justice and punishment to my enemies.

Major, please, take this,

it's going to make you feel better.

Please.

Behold.

A pale horse emerged...

And death was its rider.

And all hell followed!

Major! It's me! It's Lynise! Please!

Major, please!

Don't worry, doctor. No need to worry.

I'm pulling the cold air out there.

Major, tell me about...

tell me about Joseph

when he finally revealed himself to his brothers!

What did Joseph do?

After the terrible injustice

done to him by his brothers...

What did Joseph do?

What did he do?

He offered forgiveness...

Yes!

Genesis- 20.

"You intended to cause me harm,

but God intended it all for good."

I need you to breathe this in!

Breathe!

The oxygen will kill the fungus!

Breathe!

No! Breathe, please breathe!

There you go, there you go.

There you go. Keep breathing, keep breathing.

Good, Major, good.

Okay.

Now I need this.

Keep breathing, Major.

General, this is Lynise!

Dr. Hughes, where is the Major? What's happening there?

The Major was infected by the fungus.

I was able to clear it out of his system

with the oxygen from a respirator.

Listen, I don't have time to explain all that.

Can you find us on your satellite?

We're in a Chinook helicopter.

Our coordinates are 10.7739 Sierra by 37.5861 Whiskey.

Are you over Lago Do Fodo?

Yes, yes.

We have a huge bomb from the airport.

And we're gonna drop it over the epicenter

because the ordnance isn't gonna get here in time.

The Major has promised me it's going to work.

But I still need you to use the infrared satellite

and guide us directly over the epicenter.

Can you do that?

Absolutely. Stand by.

Okay.

Let me get in there, doctor.

-Let me in there. -Okay, okay.

The General is gonna guide us

to the epicenter, okay?

Who's flying the helicopter?

The Major is now.

Good. Glad to hear that oxygen is an effective antidote.

We have eyes on the epicenter, Major.

I want you to take a heading out in vector 4.7.

I've lost access to my guidance systems.

I'll need you to direct me with landmarks, General.

Copy that.

I need you to reduce your speed to 160 knots.

Target is to your- 00.

Copy. Adjusting coordinates.

You're 55 meters on target. Stay on that heading.

Gasses are rising to the surface.

It's getting ready to blow any minute now!

Okay. You're directly over the epicenter.

Push yourself into a holding pattern,

drop your ordnance and get out of there!

Confirm holding pattern, preparing to drop ordnance.

Engaging autopilot.

Doctor, there's a switch, a release switch,

behind the door there.

Turn the top dial first

and the second dial after.

-That'll release the bomb. -Okay.

Top.

First, and sec--

Um...

I'm sorry.

What? What happened?

Mechanical failure, a loss of hydraulic pressure.

Okay, but what do we do?

Must be a leak. There's nothing...

There's nothing to do, doctor.

It's over.

Well, can't we cut the cables?

You can't cut those cables, doctor.

They're holding up an 8,000 kilogram bomb.

They're not made out of string.

What's happening, Major?

Sorry, doctor... I'm not feeling well.

Okay.

Major?

Major?

Major, I'm gonna crash the helicopter into the lake.

There's no greater love

than to lay your life down for your brother.

I like that.

General? This is Lynise.

The other payload should be there within three hours.

General, there is no time left.

Is there any way to fix this lever?

It could be several things, doctor.

He said it's something with the hydraulics, loss of fluid maybe.

That can't be fixed.

You need to have the helicopter grounded.

I'm not going down without a fight.

We're gonna crash the helicopter into the lake.

You're gonna what?

We're going to crash the helicopter!

That won't work, doctor. The firing mechanism won't--

The firing mechanism is heat activated.

Hold on! Don't do anything rash!

As long as the helicopter makes contact with the magma chamber,

the heat from the volcano should be high enough

to trigger the bomb.

It's our only option, General.

Okay, Major, tell me about one of your best memories,

maybe something about church?

My mom...

I used to love going to church each Sunday with my mom.

Oh, good. That sounds nice.

Tell me what it was like.

I had to pass the collection plate.

I dropped it.

She said it was okay.

What happened then?

She went under the pews to get the money.

She told me it wasn't my fault.

Oh, that was so nice of her, really nice of her.

Okay. Okay, Major.

Major, look, it's gonna be all right, okay?

I got you.

Look!

We have to go get them!

Will they even be alive because of the volcanic fumes?

Isn't that water extremely caustic?

No, no, no! The lake is alkaline.

The limestone neutralizes the volcanic acids.

There!

Affirmative!

Scavenger, we have two heat signatures.

It looks like they're moving to

the north-eastern shoreline headed straight for you!

Come on!

Hey, you guys, over here! Help me get Oakley out!

I got you, Major, come on!

Major, major, major, come here, come here.

Come on!

Come on, big guy!

Hey, what happened to the bomb?

Why didn't it go off?

Come on.

That ordnance... it has a supersonic

impact casing in the head.

It won't blow until it reaches temperature

from the heat inside the magma chamber.

We have to get out of here!

-Let's go! -Go, go!

We've got them, Zeus!

We have all thee guests and Major Jones in possession!

Get to safety now!

I can't breathe.

That's normal.

Ordinance sucks the oxygen right out of your lungs

when you're this close to detonation.

Did we do it?

I can't tell yet.

General, look.

The monitor!

It looks like it worked.

It looks like it worked!

Yes, it did, ma'am!

Nice work, soldier.

Scavenger.

Scavenger, do you read me?

Please tell me you're okay.

Scavenger, come in.

Scavenger.

Oh, thank God.

I am looking at feed all over the globe.

And it seems like you stopped it!

Excellent news, Zeus.

I'd like to speak to Dr. Hughes if I may.

General Norris... I mean, Zeus.

No need for mil spec talk, doctor.

This is a secured line.

We are getting satellite imagery

that shows the entire chain reaction is shutting down.

All right!

The storm systems appear to be clearing.

The locust swarms appear to be dropping off

at a substantial rate.

And it looks as though the geothermal readings

are dropping rapidly at Lago Do Fodo.

Great to hear that, General.

And what of the infection you spoke of?

Regarding the fungi?

General, I'm gonna let Dr. Rodney fill you in on that.

Hello. Hi. Elliot Rodney here.

It's our respiratory systems.

As soon as I get back to my labs,

I can synthesize a compound that we can release

in aerosol form so we can spread it through the locust swarms.

It'll also spread from human to human,

neutralizing the neural effect of the fungus.

Outstanding, Dr. Rodney, outstanding.

You wanna say something? We all did our part.

General, this is Dakota Lenna speaking.

Good to hear your voice, Dr. Lenna.

The cloud seeding worked exactly as planned.

With the immense rush of cooler air from the atmosphere,

we'll soon be stabilize weather systems

along the jet stream.

I'm watching it happen via satellite as we speak.

Excellent work from all of you! Thank you!

You've all done the world a great service.

Just doing our job, ma'am.

General, we're getting calls from all over.

They want to speak with you, ma'am.

Everyone, I've got a few people that I need to talk to.

We can converse a little later.

Copy that, Zeus. Scavenger out.

You guys, we did it! We did it!

Let's not do it again.

-We did it! -Good job!

Yeah!

Come on.

Lynise, I owe you an apology.

No apology necessary, Major.

All is forgiven.

Thank you.
