San Andreas
Red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down
We never go out of style
We never go out of style
Help!
So, I understand that you all were
part of the 58th Rescue Squadron...
...staged over at Bagram in Afghanistan
Yes, ma'am. Two tours.
And you're still flying together?
We all got tight over there.
Wouldn't wanna break up the family.
Dude, do we look like family?
A little.
So, what's the biggest difference between
rescuing over there and what you do here?
Not getting shot at.
- You're a funny guy.
- Yeah.
Chief Gaines?
I'm told that between
Afghanistan and LAFD...
...you have over 600
documented rescues.
That's pretty impressive.
Just doing my job, ma'am.
Go where they tell me to go.
Heh. That's great. You can cut there.
There she is.
Looks pretty tight.
Take her up.
Winds are variable,
270 to 300. 10 knots gusting to 15.
Metro, this is LAFD.
Helo 5 on scene of cliff-V rescue.
We have visual.
- Copy, Helo 5.
- What's the girl's name?
Natalie.
Metro, connect her cell
to our sat phone.
Helo 5, you're connected.
Hello?
This is Chief Pilot Raymond Gaines
of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
I'm piloting the chopper above you.
You holding up all right?
I don't know. I'm not feeling very well.
My God! The car is sliding.
Natalie, I'm gonna need you
to stay calm, honey.
- We're coming to get you, okay?
- Okay.
Seven miles visibility...
...winds are 270 at 10 knots.
We show you
one plus one five playtime.
Man, I don't see a way in.
We're gonna tip the hat.
- Tip the hat?
- Yeah.
You might wanna hold on to something.
Here we go.
Fifteen feet out.
Ten feet.
Five.
Whoa, whoa. Easy, Ray.
All right, you got it.
All right.
Tuck them in, boys.
Joby, forget the basket.
on this one.
That car goes, so does she.
Door's open.
Get this.
Hooking up.
On the skid.
We got five minutes max.
What happens in five minutes?
It's no big deal. Just engine failure.
Good thing I only need three.
- Thank God.
- No, no! Natalie, do not...
My God! Get me out of here.
I need you to stay still.
I have to stabilize the car.
Hurry, please.
Car secured.
Got it.
What the hell?
Sh*t.
Dylan! My God. Are you all right?
Jesus. Joby's pinned!
Goddamn it.
Joby, I'm coming down.
Harrison, you're flying.
Marcus, rig me a rope.
- Handing over.
- Taking over.
- Be ready to cut.
- Roger that.
Hooked up.
Out the door.
Ray's clear.
Natalie, don't you worry.
I'm gonna get you out...
Ray, we are in the red!
We are going to crash!
Natalie, we are going now!
I got you!
- Cut it!
- Joby, swing!
Yeah!
What do we say we get you home now?
I think that's a really good idea.
Now, the Sendai quake
in Japan was considered...
...one of the five strongest since 1900.
It was so powerful, in fact...
...that it moved the main island
This is just one
of the 1.3 million earthquakes...
...that occur around the globe
each year.
The largest ever recorded here
in North America:
Anchorage, Alaska, 1964. A 9.1.
The earth shook for five straight minutes.
The energy release was the equivalent
of 10 million atom bombs...
...the size of the one
dropped on Hiroshima.
And that's not the biggest earthquake
ever recorded.
No, the biggest was four years earlier off
the coast of Valdivia in Southern Chile.
A 9.5 on the Richter scale.
Right there.
Bam.
and spawned a tsunami 82 feet high...
...that leveled Hilo, Hawaii
8000 miles away.
8000 miles away.
So, um...
It's mass destruction like this...
...that shows just how important
the research that we're doing here is...
...because we need to be able
to predict these things. Right?
To plan and prepare for them.
Yes, ma'am.
Professor, do you think something
that intense could happen here?
Well, the San Andreas fault
runs right up the spine of California.
It's the demarcation line between two
tectonic plates that are constantly moving.
And add to that the fact that
it's supposed to happen every 150 years...
...and we're about 100 years overdue...
...I'd say it's not a matter of if...
...it's a matter of when.
Damn, Godzilla.
What the hell'd you do to her this time?
Played a little tug of war with a car.
How soon before you get her fixed?
I'll call Martinez today.
Get a new one sent over to maintenance.
Elgin, you move any faster,
Harrison said you're taking off
with Blake for a few days.
Yeah. Leaving tomorrow.
Driving her back up to school.
Volleyball team has their first game
this weekend.
I figure we cruise up the coast.
Do a little camping.
Dude, I can't believe
she's in college already.
I know.
- Too fast, brother. I'll catch you inside.
- All right, man.
- Lawrence, I gotta show you something.
- Yeah?
Aha!
Now, we got a rare low-level
seismic swarm out in Falco, Nevada.
23 small quakes, all tiny.
2.0 to 2.6 in the last 24 hours.
Where the hell is Falco, Nevada?
maybe 5 miles from the Hoover Dam.
All right.
There aren't any faults out there.
Any known faults. Now, if we get there
while the mini quakes continue...
...we can test our theory.
And if the magnetic pulse rate
goes up before the quakes...
- Then we're predicting them.
- Then we are predicting them.
All right.
Let's go check it out.
- Hi, Dad.
- Hey, sweetie.
I was wondering if there was room
for my bike.
Thought that I could ride it to class,
then I wouldn't have to buy a parking pass.
That's a great idea. I'm sure
I could figure out a way to fit it in.
All right, great. I can't find the key
to the lock at Mom's...
...so it's either in the top left drawer
of my dresser...
...or on top of the wardrobe
in my pink shoe box.
Okay, no problem. I'll find it.
I don't know if you have plans,
but I would love to take you to dinner.
You could even invite your mom along.
It'd be fun.
Thanks, Dad.
But we already have plans with Daniel.
Dad?
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, of course I am.
Totally cool. No problem at all.
Okay. I'll see you tomorrow, then.
Okay.
And don't forget the bike key.
I won't. I got it.
Bye, Dad. I love you.
I love you, too, honey.
Bye.
Come here, you guys.
Let's take a picture.
Come on, Dad!
Lawrence, it's incredible.
This is the third mini quake
since we've been here.
has increased before each one of them.
We got a pattern, my friend.
That was a 2.2.
Our model's predictive.
We got it right, man! Finally!
Yep, we sure did. Ha, ha.
Sh*t.
What's wrong?
Pulse rates are spiking again.
They're huge.
Are you serious?
Kim?
We're about to have a major quake.
It jumped to a 7.1!
Jesus, Kim!
Get the hell outta there!
Everybody get off the dam!
Move! Now! Now!
Everybody off! Hurry up!
Stay behind the barriers!
Come on, move!
Stay behind the barriers!
Kim! Hurry!
