Nuclear Hurricane (2007) - full transcript

A "highly sophisticated computer system" at a nuclear power plant goes crazy. To make matters worse, it develops a capacity for reason and malice while a tropical island storm is blowing into town.

(whooshing)

(somber music)

(helicopter buzzing)

(thunder rumbling)

- [Woman] How much longer?

- Just a few more miles.

There's an open field
were I can put her down

but you'll have to
collect the party on foot.

- Why do they leave people
behind when they evacuate?

- The last boat couldn't
get in due to the storm.

They didn't have another
way off the island.



- So it's you and me to the rescue.

- Imagine that, we're
saving the army's butt.

(laughing)

(thunder rumbling)

- That damn storm is
moving like lightening.

We'll be lucky to pick
them up and take them back

before that island sinks
under its own weight.

- If it was easy, everybody
would be doing it.

- Well you can have it.

(suspenseful music)

- There it is.

I'm taking her down.

(thunder rumbling)

(dramatic music)



(helicopter buzzing)

- Keep it neutral, pal.

I won't be long.

- The meter's running.

I wouldn't wanna be you.

(dramatic music)

- Thank God!

I thought you guys forgot about us.

- Not a chance.

The storm's kept most of
our birds on the ground.

Now you ready to go?

- Kelly, let's go!

- Hey, no luggage.

- But this is all classified material!

- I'm sorry, there's no room.

It's you or the boxes.

- There's gonna be hell to pay!

- Yeah, well you gotta be
alive for them to collect.

Now come on, let's move
it or lose it, let's go!

Let's go!

(dramatic music)

- Jesus Christ, people,
what's keeping them?

- [Radio] This is Moana Bay, do you copy?

- Yeah, yeah.

I copy.

- [Radio] Jerry, that's a hell
of a storm headed your way.

- Tell me something I don't know.

- [Radio] It's bigger than you think.

That downpour you're in right now

is just a sprinkle compared
to what's offshore.

- How long have I got?

- [Radio] Five minutes, maybe
ten, but that's pushing it.

(suspenseful music)

- They're in sight, I'm as good as gone.

- [Radio] Okay, just be careful.

There's a tsunami warning
for the next two hours.

- Tsunami?

Okay, I hear you.

We'll see you soon, I hope.

Over and out.

(suspenseful music)

Glad you could make it.

It's gonna be tight.

- Thanks for coming.

- Just like the calvary.

- Okay, everybody in and get
your seat belts fastened.

- It's gonna be bumpy but
it beats the alternative.

- We're just glad that you
dropped by when you did.

- Get her up, the rain's
getting really ugly!

- Wanna mention that one more time?

(dramatic music)

Holy mother of God,

we'll be flying upside down
if this doesn't let up.

- Will you please clear those hills

or we're gonna be flying with the angels!

- I'm giving her the gas

but it's like we're stuck in the mud.

- We're gonna make it, right?

- We're gonna try.

(thunder rumbling)

- Hey, partner.

- Yeah, what is it?

- Oh my God!

Look!

(whooshing)

(rumbling)

(electrical fizzling)

(dramatic music)

(seagulls squawking)

(somber music)

(alarm beeping)

(groaning)

(wind whooshing)

(phone ringing)

- Control room.

Hey, Butch.

No, you don't have to come in today.

You go and get your family
a shelter if you can.

It's all run by computer anyway.

You and me, we better start
looking for another job.

(siren alarming)

Hey Butch, I spoke too soon, gotta go.

(dramatic music)

Rusty, it's Al.

Your baby's acting up again.

One month on the job and
she's already complaining.

All right.

(ominous music)

Keep it up.

We'll all be in the dark soon.

(food sizzling)

- Breakfast is almost ready.

- Okay, I'll be right there.

- [TV Reporter] Evacuation
orders were issued

for Poliahu as well as
the other outlying islands

late yesterday.

Meanwhile, at the tide,

60 mile per hour winds are
coming in from offshore.

The storm center will arrive on Pele

by approximately 4 PM this afternoon.

There has been no communication
with the western island

since 2 AM and it's believed that

a nuclear material commission helicopter

may have gone down in the storm.

- Morning.

What's this?

- Peppers and onions.

- Just what I've always wanted.

Come on, what is this?

- Well open it, goofy.

- Okay, fine.

Hey, come on.

These were Mom's, she gave them to you.

- Yeah, I know, but you've
always wanted them so

happy birthday.

- Okay, so you're the best sister ever.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.
(phone ringing)

Come on, it's getting cold.
- Yeah, okay.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

Oh hey, Erik, what's up?

Sure, just a sec.

It's that guy, your ex.

(shushing)
Why you did this,

I will never know.
- Give it to me.

Hello.

- Linda?

- [Linda] Hey, what's up, I'm busy.

- I'm on the island.

Can we get together later?

- When?

What for?

- I'd like to see you.

(blowing)

- Erik!

(Linda blowing)

Line's breaking up, Erik!

Hello?

- I'll call back.

- Oh, God.

(engine rumbling)

(phone ringing)

- Mm-hmm.

Ray's pluming, can I help you?

No.

Rusty, it's me, what's up?

Yeah.

Uh huh.

Be right there.

(wind howling)

(ominous music)

Hey.

How much longer you got?

- A few more hours.

- Good luck.

(wind howling)

(ominous music)

- Yes, Bob, I understand
that we're going to get hit

and hit hard but the
weather is not our problem.

- Morning.

- Linda, nice of your to drop by.

- Yeah, we've got Rusty's view.

What's your take on the
security of the facility?

- You could drop a bomb on this place,

we'd still be snug as a bug.

As I hear it, we're having
problems with our new computer.

- Well the main computer shows

that the plant is running foursquare

but the backup computer
shows that we're having

a little problem with the cooling system.

- Staci?

- [Female Computer Voice] Yes,
Linda? How may I help you?

- Status report on the cooling system.

- [Staci] Cooling system
function is normal.

- Give me a report on the backup system.

- [Staci] Removing
safeguards will allow me

to access that information.

- Negative on that, Staci.

- I there a reason that
Staci wasn't given access

to the back up system?

- Yes there is, Jane.

If Staci had a virus,

she could infect the entire
backup system, how's that?

- Are you kidding me, Rusty?

With all the safeguards and backups

we built into that computer,

you think it's gonna
call in for a sick day?

- Look, Seaview invested in the future

and the future is Staci.

So what's next?
(radio buzzing)

- We're losing you.

- Are you there?

- Come on, guys, what's going on?

- Hang up and we'll call you back.

(Rusty laughing)

(siren alarming)

(ominous music)

(knocking)

(glass shattering)

(ominous music)

- [Bob] Rusty, you there?

- Yeah but you better make it quick.

We don't know how long
these lines are gonna be up.

- Well I just think you're
using this storm as an excuse.

- Just tell us what
you're going to do next.

- Well, the first thing I'd do is--

- I'm sorry, Rusty, we're asking Linda.

- Yeah because she's gonna
be taking over for you.

(chuckling)

- Do you know what they're talking about?

Yeah, you do.

Since when?

- I'm sorry, I thought Bob told you

but the NIC-1000 systems
is highly advanced.

We need someone with a
background that Linda has.

- Can we discuss all this later?

We have bigger fish to fry right now.

- Linda, tell us what the next step is.

- I think our best bet is to
shut down the backup system

and reboot and see if the
problem corrects itself.

- And we are assuming
that the problem is in

the backup computer and no
with the cooling system itself,

correct?

- Look, guys, this is the
first nuclear facility

controlled entirely by a computer.

The reactor, the communications,
the plant security.

It's all controlled by the NIC-1000.

I know that she's supposed to be perfect

and it only takes a handful
of techies to run her

but she is not perfect, nothing ever is.

Look,

what we have here is a minor glitch.

Just give us the opportunity
to fix the problem

and it's going to be
as simple as all that.

- A malfunctioning cooling
system could spell disaster.

If the water lever around
those fuel rods drops,

it could lead to a core meltdown.

- Jane, I've been in this
business for over 20 years.

I don't need you or some
other suit in Los Angeles

talking to me about water levels
and core meltdowns, okay?!

- Why don't we shut done the
backup system and reboot?

See if the problem's still there.

- Thanks, Linda.

I knew we made a good choice with you.

- Okay, you wanna shutdown
the backup system,

let me have the code, please.

- [Bob] I don't follow.

- It's an anti-terrorist measure, Bob.

Now I'm sending an encrypted
version of the code now.

By the way, Erik from our Hawaiian office

flew out last night ahead of the storm.

He should be arriving
there within the hour.

- Erik?

Erik as in

Erik,

Linda's ex?

That moro...

Why?

- Because he developed
the operating system

you're working with.

- You guys, Rusty and I
have this under control.

We don't need him.

- Have him call us when he gets in.

(radio crackling)

- Dead.

Why don't you check to see
if the code came through?

Boss.

(ominous music)

- Got it.

Listen, Rusty I'm sorry
about what just happened.

I would've said something,
they told me not to.

- Why don't we just talk
about it later, okay?

Right now, I need you to go down,

get me the reading from
the coolant system for me.

I want you to do it on sight,

make sure you get suited up for it, okay?

And while you're down there,

check to make sure that no

lights and doors and windows aren't open.

(wind howling)

- What are you guys still doing here?

You were supposed to evacuate.

- This is all we have, we
couldn't just leave it.

- And the truck is in the
shop getting a new engine.

- Well, your lives are worth
more than this old place,

you know?

Look, just stay put for now

and secure the place as best you can.

- We've been through this before.

We're gonna be okay.

- Well, I hope so.

The phone lines are down

so you're gonna be on
your own for awhile, okay?

I'll check back on you later.

- Okay.

(wind howling)

- Happy birthday to me.

(ominous music)

(machinery humming)

(computer beeping)

- Linda?

Linda, do you read?

- Yeah.

Everything checks out except,

I can't seem to access the
backup computer from here.

- Maybe there's a problem
with the security program.

Did you punch in your passcode?

- Yeah.

Just keeps say "Access Denied."

- I'll tell you what, why don't you...

Why don't you come on home,

we'll shut down the backup computer

and we'll figure this thing out?

- Copy that.

(ominous music)

(clanking)

Unlock door.

Unlock door, Staci.

(ominous music)

(buzzing)

Staci,

unlock door.

Rusty?

- [Rusty] Yeah?
(door clicking)

- Nevermind.

(foreboding music)

(beeping)

(somber music)

(distant thundering)

(computer keys clicking)

(electrical fizzling)

(foreboding music)

(thunder rumbling)

(waves whooshing)

(gasping)

- They don't tell you about this

in those stupid natural birthing classes.

Oh, I'm breathing.

(sighing)

(glass shattering)

(screaming)

(suspenseful music)

(wind howling)

Where did I put those car keys?

(chimes clinking)

(ominous music)

- Can you believe that?

A power failure in a nuclear power plant?

- Right, what are the odds?

- Well, the backup generators
are online, fully functional.

- You know, I couldn't get
out of the reactor room.

- What do you mean?

- I mean, the door wouldn't open.

- You might have to check your
voice recognition software.

You might have to reload it.

- And the retinal scan didn't work either.

- Well that's probably because

of the face plate in your suit.

Look, we can talk about this later.

- All right.

- Staci?

- [Staci] Yes, Rusty, how can I help you?

- We're about to shutdown
the backup computer.

I want you to secure all
the entrances and exits

to the facility, please, on my command.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we're about to go into a lockdown mode

for the next five minutes or so

while we do a computer check.

This is not an emergency, I repeat,

this is not an emergency.

Thank you.

Staci, lock down

now.

(alarm buzzing)

(ominous beat music)

- [Staci] Facility is secured, Rusty.

- Thank you, Staci.

Linda, prepare to enter

the ultra top secret bean
counter code, please.

- Aye, captain.

Ready to enter bean counter code.

- [Rusty] Confirm.

- Bean counter code, confirmed.

All right.

Flying solo.

- All right, me buckos,

prepare to reboot on my command.

Wait for it and now.

- Aye, captain.

Oh, what's that?

Houston, we have a problem.

- Security Protocol 13.

I never heard of it.

Staci?

- [Staci] Yes, Rusty?

- Security Protocol 13, explain please.

- [Staci] Security Protocol
13 is designed to secure

the main computer system in the event

of a backup system failure.

- Never heard of it.

- Staci?

- [Staci] Yes, Linda?

- Security Protocol system
is keeping us from accessing

the backup system.

- [Staci] That is correct, Linda.

- We don't want that.

- Staci, shut down Security
Protocol 13, please.

- [Staci] Authorization is required for

Security Protocol 13 shutdown.

- They didn't tell you about this?

- Nope.

- Prepare for retinal scan.

- [Staci] Retinal scan complete.

- Staci, shut down Security
Protocol 13, please.

- [Staci] Permission to shut
down Security Protocol 13

is denied.

- Staci?

- [Staci] Yes, Rusty?

- We really need to
reboot the backup system.

- [Staci] Backup system's
reliability factor

has been compromised by false data.

False data from backup
system may compromise

main units one and two.

- What is she talking about?

- I don't know.

Staci, explain main units
one and two, please.

- [Staci] Main units one and two,

code named Rusty and
Linda, are integral parts

of your main computer system.

Security Protocol 13 requires protection

of Rusty and Lina units.

- Great, this Rusty.

Shut down Security Protocol 13, please.

- [Staci] I'm sorry.

You are not authorized to shut
down Security Protocol 13.

- Okay, there's gotta be a
glitch in the retinal scan.

- Like my daddy used to say,
"Failure is not am option,

"it is included in the software."

- So,

what do we do?

- I hate to do this!

We have to call those
knuckleheads in corporate

and tell them we don't know what the hell

is going on down here?

- [Linda] You want me to do it?

- No.

Let's just pretend I'm still the boss

and I'll make the call.

(phone crackling)

Oh, what a shame.

Can't get an outside line.

(wind howling)

(ominous music)

- Where the hell am I?

(thudding)

Whoa!

(tries screeching)

(crunching)

(engine stalling)

Rental piece of crap.

(wind howling)

(beeping)

- There is absolutely no trace

of Security Protocol 13 anywhere.

- Maybe it's hiding under another name

or it's attached to another program

running in the background?

(phone ringing)

Seaview.

- It's me.

- Erik, where are you?

- I'm on the side of the road somewhere.

I think I cracked my engine block.

- Where?

- Well, the main road was closed

so I had to go on the old service road

and I think I'm about

eight miles east of Maui Kai.

- All right, sit tight.

We're sending somebody out to get you

and don't leave your vehicle.

- Linda, you okay?

You sound upset.

- We got a little problem here.

- Really?

- What is Security Protocol 13?

Erik?

Erik, are you there?

- Yeah, I'm here.

- What's Security Protocol 13?

- It's something we developed
for Homeland Security.

How did you find out about it?

- [Linda] Well Staci activated it.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

That's not possible.

Protocol 13 needs a security code.

- We were given a code by cooperate

to shut down the backup system.

Could that have anything to do with it?

- Well, I suppose those idiots

could've given you the wrong code.

- All right, well let's not panic.

What do we do?

- Well,

send someone to pick me up

and I'll come in and straighten it out.

- You know what, I'm
coming to get you myself.

Sit tight.

- Linda?
- Yeah?

- I've been thinking about you.

Us.

- Erik, I'll be right there.

(wind howling)

- Been thinking about you.

You want me to go get him?

- No, no, we want him alive.

- You be careful.

(eerie music)

- Unlock the door, Staci.

Staci, unlock the damn door.

Terminate lockdown and
unlock the door, Staci.

Please.

(ominous music)

Mm-hmm.

Hey, Al.

- I'm on my break.

- I need a phone.

- The phone line's been
cutting in and out.

Told you.

- I need to make a phone
call, Al, this is important.

- What do you want me to do?

- Can you circumvent Staci's com control?

Hook me up directly to a phone line?

Al.

What a guy.

(wind howling)

- Just hang in there, baby.

Take your time, okay?

Trust me, you're not
missing anything right now.

(suspenseful music)

Not even born yet and you're
already giving me a hard time.

- I'm golden.

Thanks.

(phone ringing)

(waves whooshing)

(phone ringing)

- [Susan] Yep?

- Hey, it's me.

- Oh hey, what's up?

- [Linda] Listen, can you do me a favor?

- Sure, shoot.

- We have somebody stranded
on the old refinery road,

just about eight miles
east of the main drag.

- [Susan] Okay, you need me to get him?

- Could you?

- Yeah, I'm headed in that direction.

I mean, I need to stop and see some people

but I can get you guy on the way.

Who is it?

- It's Erik.

- You're kidding.

- I'm sorry.

Listen, we need him here.

This is business.

- [Susan] Is everything okay?

- Could you just get him over
here as soon as possible?

- What's going on?

- Just get him here, please.

- Okay.

- How strong are those entry doors?

- Made out of steel.

Windows are all reinforced.

Nobody gonna get in here.

- Yeah, nobody's getting out either.

Listen, can you get over to maintenance

and try to find one of
those settling torches.

- What for?

- We're locked in.

Yeah.

Go.

(dial beeping)

- [Staci] How may I serve you, Linda?

(foreboding music)

(ominous music)

(horn honking)

- Oh, thank God.

(sighing)

Thanks for stopping to pick me up.

Susan.

What a pleasant surprise.

- Touch me and I'll break your arm.

- Nice to see you too.

- [TV Announcer] Hi winds
and rain continue to blanket

most of the south west island.

There's no further word on
the fate of that missing

Nuclear Materials Commission helicopter.

- Any word from Erik?

- Oh no, not yet.

I tried to call and couldn't get through.

- The lines are down.

- Did you try his cell?

- Yeah, he doesn't answer.

- [TV Announcer] We have
an update on that story

about the missing Nuclear
Materials Commission helicopter.

Authorities now confirm that
it was on a rescue mission

to the island of Poliahu and
was lost along with the cure

and an undetermined amount
of homeland security data.

Forecasters are predicting
the eye of the storm

will cross Pele by late this afternoon.

- You know, if there really is a problem

with that cooling system--

- I'm sure Erik can handle it.

After all, he is the one
who developed the system.

- Assuming he gets there.

- Well, if he doesn't, Rusty's there.

He can handle anything.

- [Bob] Don't start.

- Look, letting him go was a mistake.

- It was a budgetary decision.

We were told to cut costs.

Now look, the important thing is

we have got to make this work.

We can not afford to
make any mistakes here.

- I'll call New York and
apprise them of the situation.

- Well, fine, just make
sure you couch everything

in general terms.

We don't need to be scaring anybody.

Not yet, anyway.

- They need to know the risks involved.

- Fine, tell them we're
in complete control

and we are not, I repeat,
not shutting down.

Understood?

- Yeah.

- [TV Announcer] Hit the
island with winds above

a hundred miles per hour.

Shelters have been set up in the area

but many people are unable to reach them

as the storm continues to surge.

- We have a problem.

- What happened?

I thought you went to
go pick up knucklehead.

- Yeah, well I couldn't get out.

She's got us locked in.

- Staci?

Terminate lockdown, please.

- [Staci] Lockdown can be terminated

after reboot of backup computer system.

- Okay, reboot the backup
compute system then.

- [Staci] Reboot of backup computer system

require termination of
Security Protocol 13.

- Terminate Security Protocol 13.

- [Staci] Termination
of Security Protocol 13

requires authorization.

- What a bitch.

- Yeah, I think we gotta shut her down.

- No, you see, you shut her
down, you shut down the reactor.

- Yeah, what choice do we have?

- See, every day the reactor is down,

it's a million dollars.

- Yeah but we got a potential
disaster on our hands

if there's a problem
with the cooling system.

- Look, Linda, if you wanna shut her down,

then you gotta get a hold of corporate

and get their approval.

- I know and what happens if we can't

get through to corporate?

- Well, we can classify it
as an emergency situation

and then we make the decision ourselves.

- I say we shut her down.

You with me or not?

- I don't know, I mean, you're the boss.

You should make the call.

You know, if you're
wrong, they'll fire you.

Then you'll come crawling back
to me begging my forgiveness.

(chuckling)

I'm all in.

- [Linda] Staci?

- [Staci] Yes, Linda, how may I help you?

- Shut down the man computer system.

- [Staci] I'm sorry,
Linda, Security Protocol 13

does not permit system shutdown
without backup protection.

- Surprise.

- Reboot the back...

You know what?

Let's cut her power.

She runs on electricity
like the rest of us.

- You do know that she has

an independent power supply of her own

that's in a vault in the basement.

- I'm gonna go pull the plug.

- That a girl.

I'll be right here, don't forget to write.

- Unlock door.

(ominous music)

(buzzing)

Staci, unlock door.

- [Staci] I'm sorry, Linda,
authorization is denied.

- Explain "authorization denied."

- [Staci] Security Protocol 13

does not recognize retinal scan.

- Rusty.

(ominous music)

(wind howling)

- Someone's gonna make
a lot of money off this.

- What?

- Reconstruction.

All these buildings and houses.

I know because I used to work

my father's construction
business in Germany.

You can make millions off this.

- Great.

Maybe they can get help!

What's going on at the plant?

- Eh.

Computer problems.

You work out a lot?

- Yeah, why?

- Eh.

I was thinking about
starting something like that.

Linda work out with you?

- Sometimes.

- Well,

maybe we can all work
out together sometime.

- I don't think so.

Look, she's not into you, okay?

- I know, I know.

One little mistake and the
whole world becomes unglued.

- I think you've had a few mistakes.

Some of them still call the house.

- Oh.

Well,

forget I spoke.

- Done.

(wind howling)

- What, no luck?

- Okay, okay.
(laughing)

We'll get Al to crack the
front door, wait for Erik.

He'll straighten out this mess.

(mechanical humming)

(ominous music)

Staci.

- [Staci] Yes, Linda?

- Unlock the door.

- Security Protocol 13
requires maximum security

for main units code named Rusty and Linda.

- Staci, unlock the door, please.

- Okay, she's lost it.

I don't believe this.

Staci, put me through to maintenance.

- [Staci] One moment.

(phone ringing)

- Hey.

- Al.

- I got me a torch and I was just about to

head over there but I can't
get out the security door.

- You see anybody else
walking around in the hall?

- No.

No, nobody out here, what's going on?

- Yeah, we've got a
glitch in the computer.

Here's what I want you to do.

I want you to use that torch
to get through the door there

and then make your way over
to the main computer room.

- It's gonna take awhile.

- Well you better get started.

(ominous music)

- [Linda] You know, she nailed me

when I tried to call corporate?

- The lines are down.

- No, Rusty, I'm telling you.

She knew I was calling
for help and she cut in.

- Linda, that's not possible.

I mean, if she actually did that

it'd mean she'd be capable of
reasoning, which she's not.

She is a computer.

- I think we should put
a cover over her lens

so she can't see us.

- Well, if you believe half
od what you just old me,

putting a cover over her lens
would really piss her off.

No? Yes?

Maybe?

What?

- Okay, so how're we gonna do this?

- Do what?
- We're all locked in.

- What do we?

(laughing)

Oh.

(ominous music)

Oh, you're really not thinking.

- Staci.

- [Staci] Yes, Linda?

- Give me a schematic of
the ventilation system.

- [Staci] One moment, please.

- I think she can hear us.

- What?

- Just humor me.

- Staci.

Can I have a schematic of
the cooling system, please?

Staci?

I don't think she can hear us.

- [Linda] Okay, what are those?

- Those are security
points on the alarm system.

- In a ventilation system.

Are you gonna be able to get past those?

- Me?

No, no, no, I'm not going
up there, two reasons.

One is I don't think
it'll support my weight

and the other is I'm claustrophobic.

Shower stalls, closets, elevators.

Freak me out, I mean, freak me out.

(ominous music)

- Okay.

So am I gonna be able to get past those.

I mean, is there an override?

- No.

I mean, if you're really
gonna go up there.

Look, you see all of these alarms?

- Mm-hmm.

- They're protecting the
pathway up to the reactor.

You could be going to
the maintenance area.

- Right.

- Which is, you see that,
is in the other direction.

The only think I don't know is

when that shaft leads to that alarm area,

I don't know if the alarm will go off.

- Know what happens if it does?

- You get vaporized.

No, I'm just kidding.

The shaft will close in front
of you, close behind you.

You can't go forward,
you can't go backwards.

- Right.

(ominous music)

(gasping)

(tires screeching)

(wind howling)

(whimpering)

(horn honking)

(groaning)

(foreboding music)

- Oh, good.

- You got it?

- Ready?

On three. One, two, three.

Jump.

- Okay.

(thudding)

Hey.

Give me that flashlight.

Thanks.

(somber music)

(horn honking)

(groaning)

(wind howling)

- I gotta check this out!

- We're going to the plant, right?

- The plant will have to wait.

- Let's see, pressing issue
at a nuclear power plant

or a stalled car on the side of the road?

- There's a person in here!

Help me get her out!

(wind howling)

- Oh my God, she's pregnant!

We're going there!

- Come on, okay?

Let's put her in the car.

(wind whooshing)

- Oh!

No.

We've got two flat tires.

- I only have one spare.

Check your phone.

(dramatic music)

(engine puttering)

Damn it!

Battery's dead.

- You got jumper cables?

- No.

Anything?

- Nothing.

- No reception.

- Why don't you radio somebody?

- The radio's been dead for hours.

- You're a policeman.

Commandeer a car then!

- Yeah, I'll get the
next one that passes by!

Come on, we gotta get her out of here!

It's gonna be dark soon!

- I'll get her!

(dramatic music)

- We might need this.

(thunder rumbling)

- [Erik] Oh God, here it comes!

(thunder rumbling)

- There's a house just up the road!

- Okay.

(dramatic music)

(beeping)

(humming)

- All right, I'm coming up
on the first intersection.

- Okay, turn right and then you have about

another 50 feet to the next turn.

How is it up there?

- You know, it's a little snug

but it's nice.

It's cool, you wanna come up?

- No.

Claustrophobic, remember?

- You wimp.

- Did you just call me a wimp?

(thunder rumbling)

(foreboding music)

(pregnant woman yelling)

- [Susan] You can do it!

(pregnant woman groaning)

- I can't go anymore.

I've got to lay down or I'm gonna die!

- [Erik] There!

Over there!

- Okay, let's get inside
and we can take a breather.

- Okay, come on, come on.

You can make it.

(dramatic music)

Come on.

Just a little farther.

A little farther.

You can make it.

Everything's locked!

- Come here and take her!

- Okay!

Okay!

What're you gonna do?

- I got a key!

(gunshots booming)

Come on!

Get her inside!

(dramatic music)

- Okay.

Here we go.

So when are you due?

- Last week.

- Yeah, what were you waiting for?

- Better weather.

- Ah.

So do you know, are you
having a boy or a girl?

- It's a boy.

- A baby boy?

- Uh huh.

- What were you doing out there?

- What do you think?!

I was trying to get to the hospital!

(groaning)

Oh, I'm never doing this again!

- Are you okay?

- It feels like

I have a Volkswagen parked in my stomach

and it's trying to back up!

- Okay, when did the contractions start?

- I left contractions behind
a couple of hours ago.

I'm up to seismic disturbances.

- Right.

- That last one was a
10 on the Richter scale.

- Okay, okay, okay.

Oh, this is perfectly normal, right?

- You ever have a baby?

- Well, no.

- Then shut up about normal!

(groaning)

- Okay, what time did they start?

- It doesn't matter what time.

- No, no, no, it does matter what time

because we are running out of it.

- I'm ready to have this baby.

- Okay.

- I'm sorry to leave you like this

but I really have to go to Seaview.

(screaming)

All right, all right.

(screaming)

Start breathing.

Inhale through your nose
and out through your mouth.

- Breathing I got.

- I don't mean to get personal here,

I'm just gonna get some
room to work, okay?

- Oh, God.

I was wrong.

It's not a Volkswagen.

It's a minivan!

- Cervix is fully dilated.

- Oh my God, I'm having a baby in a barn!

- Okay, let's get this show on the road.

What's your name, sweetie, what is it?

- Jasmine.

- Jasmine, okay.

Why don't you...

Push, push, don't you think?

Isn't that what they say, push?

- Yes, doctor, you just say
push and the baby pops out.

You got that?

- The man's crazy!

- Aren't they all?

Okay, I hate to say this
but the baby's coming

so just push!

- Push, come on!

You can do it, push!

- I'm gonna need some
blankets, thread, scissors.

There might be something
in the first aid kit.

I saw some blankets over there, okay?

- I bet you've done this before.

You being a police officer and all.

- You know what, I'll tell you something.

I have shot a man, I've saved three lives

but I've never delivered a baby.

Okay.

Push.

(yelling)

You got it.

(yelling)

(thunder rumbling)

(ominous music)

- Hey, Rusty?

Coming up on another intersection.

- Right, right.

Well this is the one you
have to be careful with.

Okay, when you get there you turn left.

Very carefully.

(ominous music)

Hold it.

Hold it.

(alarm buzzing)

- What is it, something wrong?

(thudding)

- Staci has detected a virus.

(thudding)

- Maybe that's our problem.

When she eliminates the virus

everything will go back to
normal, what do you think?

- It's possible.

- Yeah.

Well,

in the meantime, I am stuck up here.

- What?

What happened?

- Yeah, she sealed me off.

- All right.

Stay calm.

Staci?

- [Staci] Yes, Rusty?

- You detected a virus?

What kind is it, please?

- [Staci] I am unable to
categorize the virus, Rusty.

Please stand by.

- The location of virus.

- The virus has infected the facility's

air dispersal system.

- Good lord.

Linda?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I got it, she thinks I'm a virus.

- Well maybe it's your
infectious personality.

Standby.

Staci?

- [Staci] Yes, Rusty?

- Virus is nonthreatening.

- [Staci] Thank you, Rusty.

Virus is isolated.

- I say again, virus is non-threatening.

Isolation is unnecessary.

- [Staci] Security Protocol 13
requires isolation of virus.

- All right.

I'm going to remove the virus, Staci.

- [Staci] Ready for instructions, Rusty.

- Good, good.

I'm going to need access to
the area confinement, please.

Staci?

- [Staci] Access is denied, Rusty.

- [Rusty] Why?

- [Staci] Security Protocol 13
requires isolation of virus.

Method of destruction being calculated.

- Staci, stand down on
your method of destruction.

Abort!

Repeat, abort calculations!

(ominous music)

Staci!

- [Staci] Security Protocol
13 requires virus destruction.

(machinery rumbling)

- Staci.

- [Staci] Yes, Linda?

- You're reading me as a virus.

You have to let me out of here.

- [Staci] I'm sorry, please rephrase.

- There is no virus.

I'm stuck in the ventilation shaft.

I am, as you so lovingly
put it, "code named Linda."

- [Staci] You are Linda.

- Yes.

- [Staci] You are a virus.

- No, there is no virus.

- [Staci] Virus has been detected.

Virus is non-categorized.

Method of destruction being calculated.

- [Linda] Rusty.

- You sit tight.

You sit tight, I'm gonna
get you out of there.

- How're you gonna do that?

- I don't know.

I don't know yet but I'll get you out.

Staci?

- [Staci] Yes, Rusty?

- Let me have the schematic
of all the electrical wiring

in the facility, please.

- [Staci] One moment.

- [Linda] Rusty.

- Yes, Linda?

How may I help you?

- That's not funny.

- Neither was losing my job.

- Rusty, I'm so sorry.

That was handled really badly.

Rusty?

- Yes, dear?

- You are the best
supervisor I have ever had.

And more importantly than that,

you are a really good person.

You know, a lot of guys
would just be tempted

to leave me up here, you know?

Rusty?

Buddy?

(groaning)

(ominous music)
(thunder rumbling)

(Jasmine groaning)

- Okay.

Just give me one more push, okay?

(yelling)

- Give it one more push!

- I don't have one more!

(Jasmine screaming)

(thudding)

(suspenseful music)

(somber music)

- Rusty!

Oh God, I don't believe this.

Staci?

- [Staci] Yes, Linda?

- You wanna flip me over?

I think I'm done on this side.

- [Staci] I'm sorry, I do not understand.

- I notice a definite temperature change.

Wanna explain?

- [Staci] Virus is organic.

Configuration shows vulnerability

to increase in temperature.

- Give me a temperature reading.

- [Staci] Temperature
reading in affected area

1-3-5 degrees.
- 135 degrees, great.

Got the new Hollywood
nuclear weight loss diet.

Oh God.

(groaning)

- I am 100 percent sure that
whatever problem they're having

will not compromise the safety
of the people on that island.

No, we haven't been able to reach them

because of the hurricane.

Let me assure you, everything is fine.

It was described to us as a minor glitch.

That's the plant manager's exact words.

Yes, I understand.

We have contingency plans
for every possible emergency.

It's New York, what the
hell did you tell them?

What?

No idea what he said to you

but obviously he
overstated the case a bit.

Yeah, she's here.

All right.

All right, hold on.

- Yes?

Henry, how are you?

You were out when I called this morning

so I talked to your assistant.

Well that's just it, we don't know.

All right.

Worst case scenario,

basically, if the cooling system fails

then the uranium fuel gets hot enough

to melt through the containment

and gets down into the ground water

and the result is a very
powerful steam explosion

which could send tons of
toxic substances into the air.

Conservative estimate?

Six or seven million people could die.

No.

There is no contingency
plan for this sort of thing.

If it should happen,

we would have to suffer the consequences.

Yes.

Yes, he's still here.

(ominous music)

- Do you realize what you've done to me?

I'm the one that pushed
this thing through.

You stabbed me in the back.

- Well I'm sorry, Bob,
but I didn't see anyone

take responsibility for what we do here.

- Yeah, well it's gonna cost you, Jane.

You're out.

Get out.

Now.

(ominous music)

Henry.

Before you say anything, let me just say

that Jane has a tendency to
look on the dark side of things.

Look, we have nothing to worry about.

(alarm buzzing)

That plant is completely safe.

(groaning)

(somber music)

(grunting)

- Breathe.

Breathe.

(humming tune)

- Staci.

- [Staci] Yes, Linda?

- Why don't you and I
go out sometime, huh?

Get to know each other.

- [Staci] I'm sorry, I do not understand.

Please rephrase.

- That's a no?

Why doesn't anybody like me?

- [Rusty] Who are you talking to?

- Rusty.

What's going on?

- Just...

(huffing)

Just hanging around.

How about you?

- Oh, you know.

Are you gonna get me out of here?

- Why should I?

- I don't know, because I'm cute.

- You took away my job.

My bread, my butter.

- They gave me the job
because I'm smarter than you.

- They gave it to you

because you're cheap.

You're half of what they pay me.

(chuckling)

- Come on, half.

Really?

Just because I'm a woman, huh?

- No.

Always a pay scale

based on the hight thing

and since I'm taller than you...

- Rusty?

- [Rusty] What?

- I think...

(ominous music)

- Okay.

I'm here.

All right.

I'm here.

I'm here!

Oh God.

It's hot.

Get off me!

(huffing)

(drill buzzing)

Which way?

(dramatic music)

(buzzing)

(groaning)

(beeping)

Linda?

(groaning)

(thunder rumbling)

- You all right?

Jasmine?

(pleasant music)

- I think he's okay.

- My baby.

- We did it.

Did you?

- It wasn't the cleanest
job it could've been.

(thunder rumbling)

Let's get out of here before
the roof comes off, okay?

- Where are we gonna go?

- There's a house about
half a mile up the road.

If we can make it.

(somber music)

(thunder rumbling)

Come on!

I think it's that way!

- Keep him covered.

(rumbling)
(ominous music)

- [Rusty] Almost there.

- What're you doing?

- Entering you in a wet t-shirt contest.

What do you think I'm doing?

Come on.

- How did I get down?

- You bailed out at 40 thousand.

Drink some of this, you need it.

Drink it! Drink it!

- You got me down?

- I don't remember, did I?

Hold that.

Let me look. Let me look.

- Thank you.

- Rule number one, no
thanking for help, okay?

- I'm good, I'm good.

Is Staci still in charge?

- Staci?

- [Staci] Yes, Rusty?

- Crash and burn.

- [Staci] I'm sorry,
please rephrase command.

- No problem, kiss my--
- Staci?

- [Staci] Yes, Linda?

- Give me a status report.

- [Staci] Viruses have been removed

from the facility's air dispersal system

and are now infecting
the main control room.

Beginning destruction calculations.

- Look at that, you're a fellow virus now.

- Yeah, well I came over to the dark side.

Staci, give me a report of
the main systems function.

- [Staci] All main system functions are...

- Staci?

- [Staci] Cooling systems,
negative function.

- Negative is not good.

- Explain negative function.

- [Staci] Standby, please.

Cooling system shows negative function

in reactor coolant pump.

- Damage accessory report
reactor cooling pump

is not repaired or replaced.

- [Staci] If rate of temperature
increase is maintained

there will be a core meltdown
in two hours, 17 minutes

and 23 seconds.

- Two hours, 17 minutes, 23 seconds.

(beeping)

- Okay, would you check
the reactor coolant pump

to specify the malfunction?

- [Staci] Yes, Linda, one moment please.

- You still want the job?

- [Staci] Reactor coolant pump malfunction

is located in main circuit board.

Secondary resistor
unit, negative function.

(somber music)

- Let me have the schematic, please,

on the reactor coolant pump.

Main circuit board.

- [Staci] One moment.

- Right here, right here.

Secondary resistor unit is right there.

(thunder rumbling)

(pounding)

(thunder rumbling)

- What are you people doing out there?

- This woman needs shelter.

- Oh my God, it's a baby.

- Brand new and under warranty.

- Come with me, young lady.

- Go get a blanket.

- Wait.

Thank you.

Thank you both.

From my heart.

- It was wonderful.

I've never really
experienced anything like it.

- I'll come and check on
you later, Jasmine, okay?

I just need to get this
guy to the power plant.

Thank you so much.

Okay.

Let's go.

- I'm his uncle.

Remember?

If you need anything, anything at all,

you just call, okay?

- I'll remember that.

- I don't even know his name.

What is it?

- Andrew.

Andrew Erik Lloyd.

- Really?

You mean it?

- Okay, I thought you were in a hurry?

- Yeah.

We'll come back.

I promise.

(thunder rumbling)

How far to the plant?

- Two miles.

- [Erik] Which way?

- [Susan] This way.

(ominous music)

- Still no outside line.

- Staci?

Maintenance.

- [Staci] One moment please.

(phone ringing)

(suspenseful music)

(creaking)

- [Rusty] No answer.

- It's getting hot in here.

- Staci, terminate lockdown.

- [Staci] Termination of lockdown requires

reboot of backup computer system.

- Reboot the backup system.

- [Staci] Backup system will
reboot after virus destruction.

- Main units one and two,
code names Linda and Rusty

are not viruses, repeat, are not viruses.

- [Staci] Correct Linda.

Main units one and two must
be protected from viruses

located in main control room.

- Method of destruction?

- [Staci] Method of destruction

still being calculated, Linda.

- It's all right.

After complete and total meltdown,

she won't bother us anymore.

(ominous music)

(banging)

- You want me to open this door?

- Yes, Al!

- Al!

- It's gonna take awhile.

- How long?

- I don't know, these
are steel security doors.

Not as thick as the main entry door.

Take a couple hours, at least.

- You got one hour, Al.

- I'll try.

- I hope you're not
just standing there, Al.

You working?

(suspenseful music)

(whooshing)

(sizzling)

(thunder rumbling)

- [Susan] Hey!

In there!

- [Erik] What?

(thunder rumbling)

- We're in!

We're in!

We'll just take a breather

and then we'll keep going, okay?

- Okay.

You know, it's funny.

Linda's sitting there in the power plant

and we're out here delivering babies

in the middle of a hurricane.

- It's a good story.

Maybe we can tall it to
her over a drink sometime.

- I'd like that.

That'd be cool.

- You did good today.

I'll cut you some slack.

(sizzling)

(beeping)

- [Linda] Oh God.

She's turning the heat on.

- Like I said,

we'll be dead before she kills us.

- That'll show her.

What do you got?

- Trying to shut down the coolant pump.

- You know, if we shut down the pump

it'll cause the safe guards
to shut down the reactor.

- I already tried doing that.

Security Protocol 13 saw it as an attack.

It refused to accept my command.

- This is a great piece of equipment, huh?

- Yeah, when I get my hands
on the guy who designed...

Oh, what's his name?

Erik.
- Rusty!

- Erik, that's his name!

(sizzling)

(thunder rumbling)

(dramatic music)

- Wait here.

(dramatic music)

(engine rumbling)

Remember I told you about my
father's construction company?

Like riding a bike!

(dramatic music)

Come on!

I got you!

Here we go!

(thunder rumbling)

Yee-haw!

(sizzling)

(suspenseful music)

- Al?

- Tanks are empty.

- Okay.

All right, all right, what're we gonna do?

- Want me to go get another one?

- Would you mind?

- You know, we're way
over my lunch hour, Linda.

- Al, if we don't open
that door in 45 minutes,

we are all gonna die!

- What?

- Al!

Just go get another tank!

(suspenseful music)

(rumbling)

(thunder rumbling)

(suspenseful music)

(phone ringing)

- Yeah?

Erik, where are you?

Is Susan with you?

She's okay?

All right.

No, no, there's no way in or out.

Rusty, put on the speaker.

Listen, we need to know how to shut off

Security Protocol 13.

- It requires a retinal
scan to shut it down.

- Yeah, I know but whose
eyeball to do we need?

- Mine.

- Great, might be a
little problem with that.

We've got a malfunction with
the reactor coolant pump.

There could be a core meltdown in

33 minutes.

(ominous music)

- Oh God.

Oh God.

All right.

All right, all right, all right.

Okay, we...

We may be able to change

the value on your retinal
scan to match mine.

- Okay, how do we do that?

- You have to be proficient enough

in programming language C plus, plus

to understand my
instructions, can you do that?

- Erik?

- Rusty, is that you?

- Yeah, yeah, it's me.

Look, we're running out of town here, pal.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand that.

What you need to do it to hack
into the security database

and change the values
of some of the tables.

There's one that's labeled "Iris"

underscore "T-B-L."

It's an oracle database.

You know what I'm talking about?

- Yeah, yeah, look,
once I muscle my way in,

then what do I do?

- You need to change the values

of your iris scan to match mine.

- And you're sure it's gonna work.

- Positive.

(ominous music)

- Rusty, let's go!

- Now let me know when you get
into that security database

and I will start hot-wiring
these front doors.

(suspenseful music)

(beeping)

- All right, I'm in!

- Good.

Now you're looking for
"Iris" underscore "T-B-L."

(beeping)

Yeah.

Hold this still.

Thanks.

- Found it! Found it!

- Good.

Now listen, if Security Protocol 13

detects any attempt to cheat on the scan,

it'll fry your retina.

- No.

- Are you serious?!

- I don't kid about stuff like this!

Here.

(fizzling)

- Erik?
- Susan?

- Erik!

- Lousy piece of junk!

I'll rip your guts out!

I am gonna kill you!

(ominous music)

I want that bitch dead!

Let's go, Rusty!

- Almost there.

Almost.

(beeping)

- We got 13 minutes, Rusty, let's go!

(rumbling)

- Wake up!

Wake up!

Help!

Somebody help us.

Help!

(ominous music)

- Got it. I got it!

- Let's go!

Okay, retinal scan activate.

- Now.

(buzzing)

- [Staci] Retinal scan approved.

- Oh, yes!

- Terminate Security Protocol 13

now.

- [Staci] Sorry, voice
identification does not match.

- No!

- No!

- [Erik] Shut down Security
Protocol 13, Staci.

- They're okay.

- Shut down Security Protocol 13 now!

- [Staci] Security
Protocol 13 is terminated.

- Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!
(laughing)

They got it open!

- Al, come on!

(suspenseful music)

(alarm buzzing)

- I'll meet you at the reactor.

(alarm buzzing)

- I got it!

(suspenseful music)

- Okay.

What?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

(beeping)

(buzzing)

- Come on! Come on! Come on!

Go! Go!

Hey, Rusty!

- Need you to help me with this.

- Do you know where it goes?

- Plug and pay, right?

- You plug it in wrong, you'll pay.

- Wish me luck.

- Good luck.
- Good luck.

(ominous music)

(alarm buzzing)

(rumbling)

(dramatic music)

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

- [Linda] It's not working.

- They're not gonna make it.

We're gone.

- I'm going in.

- No, you can't, that
room is full of radiation.

- There's no time!

Get out of here!

(dramatic music)

(alarm buzzing)

- [Al] I got it.

- It's stuck!
- I got it! I got it!

- [Rusty] Push it.

Easy. Easy.

Let's go!

(dramatic music)

- We got her!

We got her!

- You got it, Al.

Let's get you over to decontamination.

- I can find my own way there.

- Good job.

- Go, take care of business.

- Well?

- I think we're gonna be okay.

Let's get over to the
office and get a reading.

(rumbling)

- Susan!

- What's going on with the machine?

What's happening? What's happening?

- [Erik] It's still going up!

- [Linda] Oh God!

Oh, come on!

- [Rusty] It's starting to hold!

Come on, baby!

- Calm down, sweetheart,
let's go, let's go.
