I need to know where the Red Line stops.

We gotta figure out

how fast this sh*t is moving.

- You mean where the last station is?

- No, where did you stop the tunnel?

We stopped drilling

under the Beverly Center, La Cienega.

My God. That's where Cedars Sinai is.

That's where Kelly is.

How long before it hits La Cienega?

Hold on.

- How long before it hits La Cienega?!

- I don't know.

If a tunnel's caved in, it'll be slower.

God. 30 minutes, maybe less.

- That's not enough time!

- No kidding.

We gotta move those people.

No, no, that ain't a possibility, Mike.

We don't have any hands left.

We got secondary fires popping off all

over the city. They're looting in Beverly Hills.

Then we have to re-route it or block it

in some way. We got 2,000 people in the way.

Listen, Moses couldn't re-route this sh*t, OK?

It's everywhere.

We got a flow in a storm drain...

The Genesee transformer's out.

That means the West...

- Where's that storm drain go?

- It dumps into Ballona Creek.

What did you just say?

Hold it!

It dumps into Ballona Creek.

- Ballona Creek runs into the ocean.

- We caught a break on that one.

Yeah. I would say! How close is it to Cedars?

It's close enough. All right, listen up, Emmit.

I need a demolitions team,

LAPD, National Guard, private contractor,

or all three at San Vicente

and 3rd right now!

We want 'em with all they've got.

Oh, sh*t.

Man, I wanna be like Mike.

Right outside Cedars

we don'tknow what's going on rightnow.

Officials have toldpeople here

to evacuate immediately.

And realise, these are injuredpeople,

some severely, so something is going on.

All right, here's what the lava is doing.

It will flow down the Red Line subway tunnel

until it comes to a dead end: this intersection.

This is the Holly Hills storm drain extension.

It connects here to the Holly Hills trench.

Anything that flows into that trench will come

through the storm drain, on to the ocean.

- We got 25 minutes...

- 20 minutes.

20 minutes to extend the San Vicente trench

200 yards up San Vicente Boulevard

to this place here.

- Extend it?

- Yes, extend it.

- Where are we at?

- Ground zero. Lava'll break through here.

- Right here?

- Yes.

I want you

to drill holes in San Vicente Boulevard,

Iower enough charges into it to blow up

a trench 200 yards long, as wide as the street

- and as deep as you can make.

- What!

- We're gonna take this thing to the ocean.

- Wait, this won't work.

The street slopes the other way.

Look at the contours.

It is not going to move into the trench. It will

go the opposite direction into the patients.

- Maybe some can be diverted...

- No! It won't. Would you trust me?

It is going to flow that way.

Now, everybody grab some stretchers.

Let's save as many lives as we possibly can.

That's 2,000 patients.

We can't possibly save everybody.

I know.

I sent them over there with my daughter.

I.. I...

I... I don't know...

I don't know what to do.

What about a dam?

Something we can drop in front

of the hospital and divert the flow this way?

- What?

- What she said, knocking a building down?

Are you serious?

Yes, I'm serious. It's gotta be 50,000 tons

of steel and concrete. Would that work?

- You are gonna knock a building down?

- Yes, I am. Would it work?

I think it might. I think it might.

You wanna bring it down against the mall?

Absolutely.

That's a precision drop.

That takes days to plan.

Set a speed record.

You wanna

knock down a building in 20 minutes?

19 now.

Split the squad, let's go.

What d'you want me to do?

Find my daughter,

please.

I left her with a Dr Jaye Calder.

I gave that woman my child,

she gave me this card. Find her.

OK. I'll find her, OK?

Trust me, I'll find her.

Sergeant, bring your men

and follow me right now!

Come this way.

Put your first hole right there.

Food.

Where's Tommy?

He went through there.

Can I have those French fries?

Remain calm.

We are evacuating the triage unitnow.

- Excuse me, I'm looking for a little boy.

- Un momento.

Have you seen a little boy?

He has blond hair.

- You should be back in there.

- No, I'm looking for a little boy...

- Red Cross people will find him.

- No, he's my responsibility.

Everybody out.

We're evacuating the Hard Rock.

All right, people, evacuate.

We must leave right now.

Put down what you're doing. Let's move...

Come on, let's go. Coming through.

- Is the building empty?

- Yeah, all clear!

We're toldlarge amounts

of explosives are being brought in

from National Guard armouries,

private contractors and LAPD depots.

It's an extraordinary effort under way...

Mommy!

Tommy!

Tommy!

This urgent advisory

from the city's Emergency Operations Centre.

Stay inside and stay away from the window.

Stay clear of the Beverly Center.

They put some kids in the mall.

In the Hard Rock.

- OK, you've done your duty. Can we go now?

- D'you think she might still be there?

Maybe. She was watching some children.

Norman, hold this. What we got?

Thank you.

Here. Take this.

These people are strangers, Jaye.

Are you gonna die for them?

- Jaye! Answer me!

- I am answering you, Norman.

This man's in cardiac arrest. I'm defibrillating!

- Charging.

- Sh*t!

- Clear!

- I'm outta here.

Not much time. Hurry up.

An amazing scene here,

as demolition teams pour into the area.

Ifyou live in the Beverly Centerarea,

stay inside and away from the windows.

- Kelly Roark!

- Expecta series of explosions.

- Kelly Roark!

- Beware of flying glass.

Kelly! Kelly Roark!

- Lou! Are you set?

- Ready.

Danny, are you all ready?

Here it comes.

- Ten seconds away.

- You haven't got ten seconds!

It's coming! It's coming!

Everybody out! Everybody out!

- Get outta here! Move it! Move it!

- Come on, come on!

- Give me a hand!

- Put them in.

We gotta move, buddy!

It's gonna blow! It's gonna blow!

I'm done!

- Whoa!

- Where the...

My God.

This is just an incredible scene.

We are watching a stampede desperately...

Someone...

Some...

My leg. I think it's busted. Get me outta here.

It's broken.

Kelly Roark!

Kelly Roark!

Tommy.

Start detonation sequence.

Aaahh!

It isn't gonna budge.

- Get outta here. You'll make it, ifyou run.

- I won't leave a man down.

I'm gonna get you outta here, pal.

- La Cienega, we clear?

- La Cienega clear.

- Lower San Vicente?

- Lower San Vicente all clear.

- Upper San Vicente?

- Upper San Vicente all clear.

Tower, can we go?

We have to go. Irepeat, are we clear?

I gotall hell breaking loose up here.

We gotta go now. Irepeat, are we clear?

- Tower clear.

- I copy.

Go!

Hold it. There's a kid out there.

There's a kid out there.

There's a kid out there in San Vicente, hold it!

Tommy!

Get outta there! Kelly, get outta there!

Abort! Abort!

Stop the explosions!

A skyscraper20-storeys'high...

Dad!

Get out! Kelly, get outta there!

As faras we can tell

through the clouds of rubble,

this audacious plan seems to be working.
