If you have a funny mini-quake story

and wanna share it, call 555-1070...

- Hi, Daddy.

- Hi, baby.

- How are you, sweetie?

- Good.

Jackson, what is this?

Please don't call me that.

I'm your dad.

Come on.

You're taking them camping

in a limo?

Okay, great.

What happened to your temp job?

Oh, you know, better hours,

more time to write.

What about sleeping? Have you

been doing any of that lately?

I've said it a thousand times, no lipo

on Fridays. It's too messy. Hold on.

- Morning, Jackson.

- Hi.

- Nice ride.

- Thanks.

Guys, have a nice trip.

Remember, watch out for the bears.

You know, they're:

Bye, Gordon.

- Love you, honey.

- Bye.

- Okay, so, Lil... Oh, yeah.

- You tell him.

Tell me what?

She needs to put these on

before she goes to sleep.

- Still?

- Yes.

Your 7-year-old still wets her bed.

That's something you should know.

- I love you.

- Love you, Mom.

- Hey.

- You okay?

They've been looking forward

to spending time with you.

I know.

- So don't be on your computer.

- Got it.

Love you.

- So this time, we hit Japan.

- So?

Well, you could visit your boy, Will.

Afternoon, ladies.

- Hello there.

- Hello, handsome.

Are you even listening to me?

Unfortunately, I am, Harry.

I heard from Audrey

you're a grandpa now.

Would you mind keeping your nose

out of my family?

You're cramping my style, baby.

There we are.

So he married a Japanese girl.

How is that the end of the world?

Come on, Tony.

You should at least go see him.

- You see your boy?

- Not as much as I'd like.

D.C. is a long way,

but at least we talk.

About what?

Life, and how short it is.

What the hell was that?

Hello?

Laura.

Laura, can you hear me?

Roland, is that you?

Laura, they lied to us.

I've arranged a press conference

for tomorrow.

I will tell everyone the truth

about what's going on.

What are you talking about?

The art you collected...

...it's not in the Alps.

Those tunnels are empty.

I have proof!

Laura.

Laura, can you hear me?

- I'm losing you. Roland?

- Laura, can you hear me?

Laura.

Break it down.

- I liked that song.

- We lost it.

...going on the West Coast

with all those surface cracks.

I told myself, "Charlie,

get your stupid ass to Yellowstone. "

I don't want to miss all the fun

when it finally blows.

Let me tell you,

there's been government people...

...flying in and out all morning,

and trust me, they did not look happy.

- Always remember folks:

- That's weird.

- You heard it first from Charlie.

- Yeah, just when he said that?

What are the odds?

We're not seeing soil liquefaction

we'd expect...

...or any evidence of fracture

propagation within the tectonic plates.

- In English.

- The activity on the coast...

...is not caused by tecto...

By regular earthquakes.

And these surface cracks have

nothing to do with shifting fault lines.

You suggesting this could be the

beginning of the Cho Ming operation?

Dr. Helmsley is flying to Yellowstone

this morning to collect more data.

We have been following the schedule

you established, Mr. Helmsley.

The most important schedule

in the history of mankind.

Now you're telling me

we have to throw it out?

Yes, sir.

I was wrong.

Do you know how many times

I've heard those words in this office?

Zero.

Did you see this?

I'm sorry, Mr. President.

She insisted.

It's all over the news.

We are learning more

about this deadly car explosion.

The director

of the French National Museums...

...was to hold a press conference

at the Louvre this morning.

Coincidentally, his death took place

in the same Paris tunnel...

...where Princess Diana died

in 1997.

We are continuing to follow this story.

We will...

Laura, I don't believe you've met

Dr. Helmsley.

I just talked to him, Dad,

and he told me...

...that the organization

that I work for is a sham.

I mean, why would he say that?

You look just like your mother

when you get upset.

Did I ever tell you that?

Every time I get upset.

Daddy, a man was killed.

Honey, please sit down.

Only a dozen people

in this administration...

...know what I'm about to tell you.

Dad, what's going on?

An unprecedented international

endeavor is underway.

At this point,

Laura's a smart girl.

She'll understand.

That thing in Paris, we're not involved

in any of that, are we?

We? Who the hell is "we"?

What are you talking about?

We need to focus on this timeline.

That's what we need to do.

- When do we let the country know?

- What do you mean?

The people, sir. They need to know.

Well, of course they do.

Listen, yourjob is to figure out

when this is all gonna fall apart.

My job is to figure out...

...how to retain some semblance

of government after it falls apart.

Until then,

we don't have time for anything...

...except for doing those jobs. Okay?

Call me the moment you get any news

from Yellowstone.

Yes, sir.

Cute girl, huh?

- Sir?

- The First Daughter.

- I saw you looking at her.

- I wasn't looking at her.

Better move fast, kid.

The end is near.

Adrian, your chopper's ready.

They're waiting on the South Lawn.

Daddy, where are we going?

Going to this really special place

that I know.

It's a place where your mom and I

used to hang out a lot.

I don't wanna know

where you and Mom had sex.

- I'm not ready for that, Jackson.

- Stop calling me that.

It's creeping me out.

What's wrong with "Dad"?

- Grumpy Grumperson.

- Daddy, look at this.

That wasn't here before.

What do we do?

Go get your hat.

Don't you see the signs?

Used to be a lake here.

Doesn't look much of a lake to me.

I know,

the whole damn thing's gone.

- Come on, let's check it out.

- Grwat.

Subjects have now entered

hot zone.

Who is that?

That's the U.S. Army.

All manner of government vehicle

are converging on subjects.

You're in a restricted area, sir.

- We need you to come with us.

- Right. Right.

Okay, we're gonna go

with these guys.

That'll be fun, huh?

This is wild.

This is really wild.

This is unbelievable.

I know,

it sounds completely implausible.

Nonetheless, we're ticking off

an increase of almost 0.5 percent.

- Per day?

- No.

Per hour.

Dr. Helmsley. We've arrested

a group of tourists in the hot zone.

Okay, I'll take care of it.

Look, let's get Satnam

on the communications link.

We'll try and cross-reference

the data.

It's a national park. There's not

supposed to be posted fences.

I mean, what's going on here?

We're geologists.

Do you usually go digging

with machine guns?

Major, I'll take care of this.

Thank you.

- What happened to the lake?

- That's what we're trying to find out.

We think the entire area
