Aftershock: Earthquake in New York Page #9

of this equipment

Through a breakaway

in the wall.

Some in pieces

and then reassembled.

More down this way.

We've got three

kids in here.

Two boys and a girl.

They got spunk though.

They're hanging in.

Roger, james, chrissy!

Chrissy?

Where?

They're right in here.

Behind that rubble.

Christine?

Daddy?

Yes. Christy,

where are you?

I'm here.

Keep talking.

Christy:

I'm over here.

Ahearn:

We're here

to help you.

Please, daddy.

Honey, we're coming, baby.

We're here to help you.

Honey, we're coming.

We're coming.

Just hang in there,

we're coming.

( dogs barking )

Hey, lady, stop.

Wait.

Ma'am.

Ma'am, you're in

the wrong place.

This is a hazmat zone.

There's a

cyanide spill.

You're lucky you

didn't get that far.

There's a curfew.

Let us escort you

to a safe place...

Ma'am, please, it's

for your own safety!

Ma'am!

A few more of

these air bags

And we'll inflate 'em

You should be able

to shimmy through.

You guys, you still with us?

Christy:

Yeah.

Boy:

We tried to leave

But couldn't

find the door.

What's your name, son?

Roger, sir.

Roger parkinson.

My leg sure hurts.

We're working on getting

you out of here.

We'll get you out

as fast as we can.

Christine's never mentioned

your name before.

Roger:

I'm a jock.

She doesn't hang out

with jocks, right?

I always told her

brains over brawn.

Roger:

Thanks a lot.

You a football player?

No, wrestling.

Varsity.

What kind of wrestler are you

Getting pinned down

in a place like this?

Christy:

Will you guys

please shut up?

Please?

She's weak.

Christine?

Yeah?

Roger?

You keeping an eye

on everything in there?

Roger:

James isn't moving.

Speak up, son.

James isn't

moving, sir.

Hey, take it

easy there, son.

Listen, we're going

to get you out.

We've just got to take it

one step at a time.

You understand?

Roger, you all right?

Are you all

right, son?

Yeah.

But I don't think

she's awake anymore.

Christine?

I don't think so.

We've got to get

in there now.

( hissing )

Ready?

Yeah.

Let's go.

Okay.

We're coming, baby.

Go.

This structure's lost

even more integrity

With the aftershock.

To hell with it.

All my people are

accounted for.

So I say we go in anyway.

I wouldn't recommend it.

Here's the deal.

Engineering says

this structure's

Ready to fall anytime.

So we go in on

a volunteer basis, folks.

With no questions asked

either way.

Okay.

All right, here we go.

Probe gun.

Here's the probe.

Okay.

Okay.

Daddy?

We'll get you out

of here real soon

Any second now, okay?

Yeah, I promise.

We'll get you out of here

any second now, honey.

Just try and think

about what it's going to be like

When you get out there.

You're going to be

looking at the moon.

Is it night?

Yeah, baby.

It's night out.

How you doing?

You got to get us

out of here, daddy.

Give me a three footer.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Hey, we need

to shore up the roof

Right over there.

Man:

Hey, get that

oxygen over here!

Okay.

( groaning )

Chrissy, it's me.

We're going

to get you

out, baby.

Daddy...

We're going to get you out.

Man:

Hey, buddy, give me your hand.

Give me your hand.

You're going

to be okay.

We got you.

( crying )

It's all right.

( moaning loudly )

You're there,

you're there!

Pull out!

Pull him out!

Go!

Baby...

Leg's crushed.

He's in shock!

Woman:

No time for a splint.

Get him out.

One, two, three!

( moaning )

Give me an

air bladder!

All right, come

on, hurry!

I've got to get her

Out of here!

Summerlin!

The airbag's in place.

( hissing )

Air coming up.

Daddy...

Summerlin, grab my legs

And on three, pull me out!

Okay, grab my hand.

One!

( rumbling )

Two!

No!

( crashing )

Aftershock!

Daddy...

No, no!

Chrissy, chrissy!

Give me some air!

Here, baby!

Is that oxygen on?

It's on!

Stay with me,

chrissy!

Stay with me.

Get her out!

Get her out!

Check if she's breathing.

She's not

breathing.

She hasn't

got a pulse.

Let's go!

Oh, god!

One, two, three!

Don't die!

Hey!

At our furthest reach,

there's a third kid.

His name is james.

We may have lost him.

Okay.

Man:

Stand back.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Clear the way.

All right, she's

got no pulse.

Let's go to

the paddles.

Clear!

Still nothing.

Raising to 300.

Clear!

( long beep )

Sorry, folks.

She's gone.

I was...

With her.

She knew that.

Chief, I'll make

sure she doesn't

get lost in all this.

I'll take

care of it.

( rumbling and creaking )

Wait.

Wait a minute.

I'm going to get you

out of here, miss emily!

I will.

I promise.

So what did he do?

He was charged

with murdering his wife.

Disabled wife.

Disabled?

Confined to a wheelchair.

Did he do it?

He was acquitted.

Oh, man.

Two pills?

Doctor said to

double my dose.

When?

About three

weeks ago.

Three weeks ago?

Bert...

Had you known

him for long?

Not very

long.

But it was pretty

special, you know?

I got a daughter

about your age.

She just had

her first kid.

That's cool.

How does it feel

to be a grandpa?

Okay, enough rest.

Can we, uh, can we please go?

Go where?

We've been

up and down

so many tunnels

We couldn't even

find our way back.

We could be out by now

If you all would just

get up off your butts.

Hey, you don't

have to be rude.

There are places

we'd rather be.

Great. Let's go.

( shrieks )

Nora!

She's hurt.

Nora, you okay?

Stay still.

( nora crying )

Why does this

keep happening to me?

Why does this keep

happening to me, huh?

All these little weak, weak,

weak little people around me

Trying to pull me down!

Who do you think you are?

The guy who'll

get you out of here

So you better do what I say.

Hey!

Joshua, back off!

Oh, my god.

Pretty bad, huh?

Well, at least

the sun came up.

I'll tell you--

You see something

like that

And you remember

how fortunate we are

Just to be alive.

( garbled p.A. Announcements )

Man (with russian accent):

I'm not sure what to say!

What's his name?

His name's jack.

He seems kind of sad.

Yeah, I think he is.

See, we've been working

this building for a while now

And if they don't

find survivors, they get sad.

Just like us.

Hey!

I need your help!

You've got to come quick!

Please!

This way!

All right, lift her

on three, ready?

One, two, three!

Easy, easy.

( screaming )

No, no, no.

Put her down.

No good.

Easy, easy.

Easy.

Okay, we can't all

keep stopping like this

So why don't some of us move on?

No, joshua, we can't.

No matter what

happens here

We're all in this

together, okay?

No, you all

go on ahead.

I'm going to stay

here with nora.

And send help

when you can.

I'm staying with you.

You don't

have to do that.

Then I'm staying, too.

Okay, then, uh,

we'll go get help.

Okay?

Joshua, you coming with me?

Yeah.

Evie...

Allen, this is better

for everybody, okay?

Joshua, let's go.

Wait.

I'm coming

with you.

We don't

need you.

Says you.

Yeah.

You know, I've

just about had

enough of you.
