(Male voice over dispatch

radio) roger, copy.

[Soft chatter]

(Jason) good morning,

ladies and gents.

(Employee) hey, jason.

I need a motorman's

report on lexington 126.

Good morning, george.

And slow broadway 912

to three quarters, please.

(Pete) broadway 912, can you

slow to three quarters?

Good morning, pete.

Jason.

A hundred and sixty gigabytes?

Hell, yes.

This sh*t will give

her bragging rights.

That's, like, 10,000 songs, man.

She's 12 years old.

Dude, it's the best

they've got.

I know what the 18 year old

girls are into.

Twelve, not really

my area of expertise.

Yeah, i bet you do know what the

18 year old girls are into.

Living the dream, baby.

God bless you.

Your boy on columbus 245

is running behind again.

Columbus 245, can you

speed up three quarters?

[Train shrieking]

[Explosion]

[Whooshing]

[Roaring]

[Dull loud noise]

(Employee no. 2)

did we lose power?

Somebody check the phone line.

[Humming gets louder]

What the hell was that?

(Pete) jesus christ!

[Alarm continues]

We've got a disruption

at noble street.

Was that a bomb?!

Jimmy? (Jimmy) head for the exits.

Come on.

Watch your step.

Don't panic.

Exit at the end of the platforms.

(Jason) yo!

Jimmy.

Jimmy, it's jason. I need

eyes down on noble street.

You on it?

Jimmy, you copy?

[Static]

Come on, out. Go!

[Female voice

over speakers, indistinct]

(Jason) come on, man.

Where the hell are you?

...all passengers...

yeah, i'm here.

What the hell's

going on down there?

(Jimmy) hold your horses.

I'm on my way.

Well, it looks

like we got penetration.

Through the sidewalk

into the noble street tunnel.

Was it a bomb?

Negative. Not a bogie.

I'll get eyeballs on it,

get back to you.

If you haven't got

eyeballs on it,

How do you know

that it's not a bomb?

Hey, man, after three

tours in iraq,

I know what a bomb sounds like.

Jesus, man, just get me the

information, will you?

Screw this. I'll call

homeland security.

Yo. We got broadway 912.

Getting there

in about two minutes.

Switch it to the a line...

[Shout]

You get caz on the line.

Hey.

(Caz) caz speaking.

You guys feel that?

What, you mean the entire

building shaking? Yeah.

Space debris.

What?

It's all over the news.

I knew it would happen.

They keep sending stuff into

space, but when it gets outdated.

No one wants to spend the

money to take it down.

(Reporter) apparently the

satellite is of russian origin.

Scientists expected

that it would disintegrate.

As it hit the earth's

atmosphere, and any unburned...

Just when i thought i'd

seen every possible way.

To screw up the monday commute.

They said they had

the thing tracked.

As it entered the atmosphere.

Came off of a satellite

launched in the 80s.

Nice of them

to tell us about it.

I'm going down there.

We gotta get that line

open by rush hour.

Yeah, okay.

See you there.

Jimmy they're telling me that

it's a piece of satellite.

[Static]

Jimmy?

[Static]

Do you read me?

[Panting]

[Groaning]

Don't leave me hanging, man.

[Grunt]

[Crackling]

[Static]

Jimmy?

Have you talked to jimmy?

Negative.

I'm going down there.

Keep trying him. If

you get him, hit me.

You got it.

[Street sounds]

[Siren wailing]

[Female reporter

reporting in distance]

Of course we will bring

you the very latest.

On this developing story,

as we learn it but for now,

Let's go out live to john smith

who is near the crash site.

John, what are you seeing

on the ground?

What have we got, a jumper?

I'm sorry.

It's jimmy.

What?

He hit the third rail.

No, no.

No way.

He must've gotten disoriented

in the dust.

There's really

no other explanation.

Sorry, man.

That doesn't make any sense.

Jimmy's got way too much

experience for that.

(Caz, on walkie) jason,

did you see him?

What, are you

talking about jimmy?

They're calling

it electrocution.

No, it doesn't add up.

Yeah, i know.

I'm with you.

Are you coming down?

I've got a half dozen

suits flying around here.

I got it.

I'm sorry. I know

you guys were close.

I gotta go.

[Machine crackling]

(Male voice no. 1)

no, i'm not getting anything.

(Male voice no. 2)

yeah, me neither.

I'm all clear in this area.

Come in, guys.

It's all clear.

(Jenkins) we're clear

of radioactivity.

They found a chunk of metal,

They're bringing it to us now.

(Jason) that's it?

You had a man down here

right after it hit?

Yeah. Why?

Died of electric shock?

Dr. Darnoff, you recognize this?

Mean anything to you?

Piece of the waste

disposal module,

On the opposite side

of the craft. Useless.

Alright.

Looks like we're clear.

Civil, over to you.

We're going back up.

Doctor, come with me.

So when can we open

the station?

Fema has no problem with it.

Homeland security is satisfied.

(Rachel) new york city

department of health.

Isn't satisfied.

The emotional health of a

hell of a lot of commuters.

Is going to take a nose dive if

we don't reopen by rush hour.

I'm sorry. You have waste

disposal issues here.

They just said that there's

nothing down here.

Department procedure.

What do you want me to do?

You want me to dust

the subway tunnel?

I have a job to do, jason.

Yeah, i do, too.

You sure this is the health

department speaking? Yes, it is.

I don't have time for this.

(Caz) guys!

You have people here.

I'll supervise the crew myself.

We'll do our best to get it

knocked out before rush hour.

Are we good?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

[Squeaking]

So, whose agency

is picking up the tab.

For the clean up and repair?

[Wild squeak]

It was decommissioned

in the 1980s.

So what, russian?

(Male voice no. 3)

soviet union.

It was a different

country back then.

Yep. It's coming

out of my budget.

[Siren wailing]

[Phone beeping]

Hey. (Peter over phone)

yeah, what's up?

I'm leaving noble street. I've

gotta take care of something.

Copy that. Anything goes on down

there, i want you to call me.

You've got it.

[Beep]

Uh, pete? I've gotta bounce.

Okay.

[Lively chatter]

So then he texted, sure.

Really?

That's odd.

He's an older guy. Eighth grade.

Guys? Eighth grade?

Happy birthday, sweetie.

Hi.

Okay, i really have to go. Bye.

Sorry i'm late.

It's okay.

Thanks for covering.

I'm used to it.

Thanks.

Good luck tonight.

Did you guys hear the

news about dad's subway?

Uh, yeah.

It's weird.

I got all the presents,

and i've gotta rush.

Okay.

Bye.

Did dad call?

He sent me a text.

He's not gonna make it.

You know your dad means well.

You know he's trying, right?

He always tries,

but he never does.

What if i just opened one?

Before dinner?

Well?

[Sucks in air] okay.

Just take a seat.

Excuse me.

You with transit authority?

Yeah. Hi.

Jason. Jason cole. Doctor stella.

This way.

The emt said he died...

From contact

with the third rail.

What's your professional

opinion on that?
