Are we dead?

Jake...

- Jake, we're fine.

- Oh, of course.

Yeah, no, I knew that.

- Did you get the reading?

- Yeah.

Now I know why Rob

likes having you around.

Thanks.

[Kate] We have one

reading, we need two more.

Guys, the quicker

we get these readings

the quicker

we can get out of here.

What do you have in mind?

See if we got the equipment,

we got walkies in the truck.

We need to split up.

I think it's a bad idea.

We are standing

on the San Andreas Fault.

I need readings

from both plates.

The Pacific

and the North American.

That bad idea

is our only chance.

I'll go with Dad.

No, wait.

You go with your mother.

Jake, you're with me.

We're gonna take the truck,

we'll go up that ridge up there

we'll get our reading. You guys

get your reading right here.

When we're done, we'll meet back

at the bridge. Okay?

You guys be careful,

that last shake that we had

is hitting somewhere else,

and we're not gonna be as lucky.

Hey...

Be careful.

Thank you.

Okay, folks, I got a problem,

needs fixing.

Who's my best tech?

- That's me. Right here.

- I am.

Right. Drew. Come with me.

- Come on, let's go.

- Coming.

Oh! Earthquake.

[intense music]

[siren wailing]

Okay, it's over.

Back to work, people.

Let's go. Come on.

This whole building is gonna

come down on top of us

we'll be trapped inside,

that's like, my worst nightmare.

Well, from what I've been

hearing around the world

you'd be a lucky one.

Alright.

Get in there, plug in.

You get 30 minutes.

The gate clock ticking.

[exhales]

Okay.

[Rob] We're approaching the

bridge with our equipment.

Everything you need

should be in those bags.

[Kate] Copy that, Rob. We're

on our way to set it up.

This just feels

kind of ironic, huh?

What's that?

I remember when you and I

would go hike

the canyons together.

That was ages ago.

What was I, like, five?

Okay, you know what?

I get that you're upset with me.

Yeah, what gave it away?

- Let's set up here.

- Yeah. Work.

So much easier than having

a real discussion.

You sure this is it?

Yeah, yeah. This is it.

- We'll set up right here.

- Okay.

Kate...

Kate, we're in position.

[Kate] Right. Let me know

when you're up and running.

Copy.

Here.

Here, plug it in.

Come on.

What's wrong with this thing?

Oh, you press this.

Look at that.

Your dad taught you well.

[grunts]

Yeah.

- I'm up.

- Me too.

- I'm already getting readings.

- Oh, wow.

- This is crazy.

- Look at that frequency.

Yeah, it's definitely building.

[siren wailing]

- Is there a problem?

- Uh, no.

I was just gonna go use

the restroom. Uh, I...

I didn't ask for permission,

it's sort of

I got an emergency, you know?

Code red,

uh, code brown, actually.

Ah, just go. Make it quick.

- Okay.

- Hold it. You...

You're not taking your laptop?

Well... Yeah.

I mean, I might be

in there for a while

so I figured I'd just, you know,

get some work done, maybe...

No, I need you to give it to me.

Come on.

Why don't you hand it over now?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

- Security!

- Sir! Sir, stop!

I need the building

on lockdown right now.

Stop him! Stop him!

[alarm blaring]

[Drew] What am I doing?

What am I doing?

[alarm blaring]

[panting]

I'm going to jail.

But not today.

[beeping]

[groans]

[coughing]

No soup for you.

- Get up.

- Ugh.

[beeping]

Another breach?

Who's messing with us?

I don't have to tell you

the ramifications of all this

should any of it to find its way

back to our doorstep.

- It's not my first day, sir.

- I'm aware.

Just make sure

it's not your last.

I'm on a plane

to brief the joint chiefs.

When I land...

Uh, let me correct that.

If I land, I wanna know that

the situation's been

scrubbed and sanitized.

Are we clear?

Yes, sir.

You have my permission

to proceed...

with impunity.

Lot of seismic activity

over here.

- Ooh! Look at that.

- Wow.

- We got one coming soon.

- Yeah.

Something's definitely coming.

Hey, Mom? I think we're

picking up something.

[gasps]

[rumbling]

- Mom?

- Rob! Rob, come in.

- You good?

- Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine, fine.

[Rob]

Kate?

Kate, come in.

- Mom, we need to go now.

- Rob? Rob, come in.

- Rob. No, Rob!

- Mom.

Kate, come in. Damn it!

Professor, is this normal?

No, that is not normal.

Brace yourself.

[rumbling]

Mom... We need to leave.

[grunting]

That's not good.

No. No, it's not.

Mom! We have to go!

- I have to get this data.

- Mom! Mom!

- Jessie!

- Mom!

- Jessie!

- Mom, please!

Mom! Come on!

Jessie, run. Jessie, go!

[Jessie screams]

Mom, we have to go!

I got it, I got it.

- Go, go!

- Mom, come on.

[shouting]

[Jessie screaming]

Run!

Let's go. Come on!

Get down!

We gotta go! In the truck!

[grunts]

[groans]

Do you have any idea

the depth of the trouble

you're in?

Me?

Don't you mean us?

Okay, okay, okay, I get the...

[groans]

[coughs]

I don't think you appreciate

the situation you're in.

We looked at your computer.

You hacked into

a government database.

You stole classified documents.

Now, where did you send them?

I sent them to my mother.

I thought it was a recipe

for sugar cookies.

[groans]

Okay, okay, okay.

I sent them to the professor.

She knows more about this

than any of us.

No, she doesn't.

We have all the data.

Not just hers, but an entire

network of information.

Now, she's just one person.

Have you ever

stopped to consider

what would happen

if she's wrong?

I will not allow her

to doom humanity

in some ill-conceived attempt

to save it.

No, 'cause you've got

that covered, don't you?

Oh, come on,

you know you want to.

[grunts]

[groaning]

You work out?

You listen to me

you little speck of nothing.

Once this is all over,

and you and the professor

are deemed enemies of the state.

I will make it my mission

to make sure

you end up in the darkest

vilest hole imaginable

to spend the rest of your long

and agonizing life

unless you tell me where she is.

Now, where is she?

[Kate]

Rob, come in.

Rob, come in.

- Why aren't they answering?

- I don't know.

You don't think

they could have been caught

in that explosion, do you?

They were right across from us

if they set up

in the right area.

They could've got caught

in that eruption.

- They weren't.

- You don't know that.

Rob, come in. We need that info.

I thought

you were worried about Dad.

- I am.

- No.

You're worried

about getting his info.

You don't think I'm worried

about your father right now?

Who knows what you worry about

when you're halfway

around the world?

We're not looking for them.

So what are you doing?

Looking for an important e-mail.

[sighs]

I'm gonna go look for Dad.

Uh, no. Uh, you're not

going anywhere.

We're not splitting up.

Not in this.

Holy crap! He did it!

He got, uh, he got the files.

All you care about

are these files!

And in the meantime,

Dad could have gotten killed

in an explosion!

Jessie, there are things

in this world

that are bigger than you and me.
