San Andreas (2015) Movie Script

Help!

So, I understand that you all were

part of the 58th Rescue Squadron,

staged over at Bagram in Afghanistan

for combat search and rescue.

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.

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?

Natalie.

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.

Oh, 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.

We gotta do a double tie-in

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.

Oh, thank God.

No, no! Natalie, do not...

Oh, my God! Get me out of here.

Natalie, I need you to stay calm please,

I have to stabilize the car, ok?

Hurry, please.

Car secured.

Got it.

What the hell?

Shit.

Dylan!

Oh, 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...

This thing isn't gonna hold!

Ray, we are in the red!

We are going to crash!

Natalie, we are going now!

I got you!

Cut it!

Joby, swing!

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 to be one

of the five strongest since 1900.

It was so powerful,

in fact that it moved the

main island of Japan eight feet.

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.

This quake lasted 11 minutes

and spawned a tsunami 82 feet high...

that leveled Hilo, Hawaii 8000 miles away.

8000 miles away.

So...

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,

you're gonna break that hip.

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?

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?

35 miles southeast of Vegas,

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.

Oh, 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.

And the magnetic pulse rate

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.

Oh, shit.

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!

Come here! I got you.

Oh, my God!

Please! Oh, my God!

Kim! Hurry up!

Lawrence!

Kim!

No! No!

Close your eyes.

Oh, God!

Are you okay?

The southern part of Nevada,

was rocked today by what

seismologists are calling

the most destructive earthquake

ever recorded in that area.

Officials are saying that Hoover Dam

is a total loss.

Lake Havasu City, Needles, Blythe

and Laughlin also suffered major damage.

Additional support from Los Angeles,

including L.A.F.D. air rescue

is expected to begin arriving

in the next 24 hours.

Hi, Dad.

Hey, honey.

We just saw the news.

I know. I'm so sorry.

We're heading out tomorrow.

No, I get it.

This one's really bad, Dad.

Yeah, this one's tough.

Hey, Em.

Hey.

Good to see you.

You, too.

Ah, Daniel.

Ray. Good to finally meet you.

It's good to meet you, too.

Heck of a place you got here, man.

No thank you.

Welcome.

So, Dad is heading to Nevada tomorrow.

Oh, it's terrible what happened.

Please be safe over there, okay?

Yeah, we will. And I promise

I'm gonna make it up to you, honey.

Dad, it's really no problem.

The drive is not that bad.

Wait, why don't I take you up there.

I'm flying to San Francisco for a meeting.

We can head to Seattle right after.

Give me an opportunity to catch

a volleyball game.

That's a good idea.

And it'll give your mom a chance to get all

her stuff moved in without me in the way.

Right.

You guys moving in?

Yeah. I was meaning to tell you,

but we haven't had a chance to...

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Thanks.

That's great.

Call me when you get there.

I will.

All right.

I love you, Dad.

You be careful, please.

I will, I will. I love you, too.

I'll get her bike.

I'm sorry you guys

can't go up there together.

Yep. Me, too.

Ray.

I was gonna tell you.

We just decided to do it.

Don't worry about it.

Hey, if you want...

I'll get those papers signed for you, too.

This is bad.

Yeah.

What time we heading out?

14:30. Guys are prepping the gear now.

All right. Let's get to work.

So this Daniel guy's taking Blake now?

I would have just called in sick.

It's why I'm the boss and you're not.

Pretty sure we can manage

a few days without ya.

Shoe's untied.

Are you kidding me?

Blake.

I want you to know that I respect

what you and your dad have.

And I know that your mom moving in

has to feel like a pretty big step.

But I'm never gonna try to change

what you have with him,

or take his place.

Okay?

Yeah.

Okay, cool.

Hey, how come you never had kids?

Oh, I did.

This is one of them right here.

She's a pretty nice addition to

the San Francisco skyline, don't you think?

"The Gate."

Catchy, right?

Yeah, I like it.

Mom was telling me about this. She said

it's the tallest building in the city, right?

When it's finished,

it'll be the tallest, strongest and...

it's already 80 percent sold.

But honestly...

I guess I never had any kids

because I was always so busy raising these.

Mom texted. She's having lunch

with your sister today.

Yeah, she's only in town for a few days

and really wanted to meet her.

I'm a little nervous though.

Susan can be kind of overprotective.

Thank you.

Jonathan.

Good morning, Mr. Riddick.

Morning.

Gonna be okay, Blake?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

Hi.

Hello.

I'm sorry, Lawrence.

Can I get you anything?

No. I'm fine, Alexi. Thank you.

Are you sure you want to be here?

I can use the distraction, actually.

Yeah?

There's a reporter outside.

Says she's doing a segment

on what happened in Nevada.

I'm gonna tell her

that it's not a good time.

No, wait a minute.

Kim gave his life for this.

People need to know

that we can predict these things now.

You want a copy?

I got about a thousand in storage.

No one listens to us

until the ground shakes, I guess.

You know they told me

what happened to your colleague.

We don't have to do this now.

Yeah, we do.

We're good to go.

Okay.

Rolling.

First question:

How come no one saw what happened

in Nevada coming?

Because we didn't know

there were any fault lines out there.

Why not?

Contrary to popular belief,

scientists don't know everything.

I understand that you publicly stated that,

someday, scientists will be

able to predict earthquakes.

Well, actually, as of yesterday,

we now believe that we can predict them.

Professor!

Talk to you a sec?

Yeah. I'm sorry. Excuse me.

What is it?

Current pulse rates at

our monitoring stations.

All along the San Andreas fault.

Their averages are spiking from 82 to 85,

with the biggest jumps

coming from San Francisco.

More than 20 points higher

than what we saw in Nevada.

There's no way.

We checked. We double-checked.

Then we reset all the instruments

and triple-checked.

Those are the counts.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Okay...

If we draw a line...

from the bottom of the San Andreas

up to the Hoover Dam...

it almost literally follows

the Colorado River...

which is a natural deformation event.

And geologically...

deformation events mark boundaries.

They mark boundaries.

So, what if...

What if this...

whole chunk of land

is connected to our tectonic plate?

That would tell us that what happened

yesterday in Nevada was not an anomaly.

No.

What if it was a precursor movement,

along the leading edge

of the plate boundary fault...

from Los Angeles

all the way up to San Francisco?

Are you saying you think

the whole San Andreas fault might go off?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Who should we call?

Everybody.

Oh, bloody hell.

I have something. Here.

I'm a complete idiot.

No.

Thank you very much.

That's very kind.

Yeah, no problem.

I'm Blake, by the way.

Oh, yeah. I'm Blake. I'm not Blake!

I'm Ben. Ben Taylor is my name.

Pleased to meet you.

It's nice to meet you.

So was that your father

you came in with?

Daniel Riddick?

He's my mom's boyfriend.

Are you meeting with him?

Oh, no. I...

Not even close.

I wish I'm interviewing for a job here...

and Mr. Riddick is the boss

of the boss of the boss,

that I'd be working for.

So, what kind of job are you interviewing for?

Anything in engineering or design.

I'm not picky or proud.

I just want to work here.

If you're an architect,

this is the place to be.

Hi. I'm Ollie.

He's my brother.

Hi. It's nice to meet you, Ollie.

I'm Blake.

You know, you're quite beautiful.

Why, thank you.

Ollie. Do you...?

Sorry.

Do you remember what we discussed?

Sit still and no talking.

It's not normal to bring little brothers to job

interviews and let's not embarrass me, okay?

Do you mind if I get

your phone number for him?

Ollie!

It's exactly...

What?

You'll never ask for it.

And then I'll have to listen to how

much you regretted not getting it.

I...

Mr. Taylor?

Ms. Carter will see you now.

Thank you.

I...

Good luck.

Thank you, and you sit here,

and don't say another word.

Hi. I'm Ben.

Hello.

We're gonna head straight over.

Excellent.

What do you want to talk about?

Where you from?

England.

Ben thought while our parents

were gonna be on a cruise...

he and I should take a holiday here

in the city, after his interview.

Awesome.

Would you like to hear our itinerary?

Susan. It's nice to finally meet you.

You as well.

Now that Daniel's asked you to move in

with him, things must be pretty serious.

Yes.

Hi. I'm Larissa.

I'll be taking care of you today.

Can I tell you about our specials?

Please, I'd love to...

Actually, could you come back

in a few minutes, Larissa?

Yeah. Sure.

So...

I understand you've been married before?

Yes.

And you have just the one daughter. Right?

Right.

Your other one drowned in an accident?

Yes, to put it bluntly.

Oh, I didn't mean it like that.

Can you just give me one minute?

Hi. Everything okay?

Yeah.

Oh, I'm on my way to maintenance

before we head out and...

Am I interrupting anything?

Nothing important.

What's going on?

Look, I just wanted to tell you

I was sorry for how I acted yesterday.

No, Ray, really.

No, Emma.

I just wasn't ready to hear about you

and Blake moving in with someone else.

I should've told you before.

Hey, how's Blake feel about it?

You know, she'd like us to be a family again.

But I think it's gonna be hard for her...

Emma.

Oh, my God.

We're having an earthquake.

Oh, Jesus, Ray.

I gotta get outta here.

Where are you?

The Tate Weston.

Shit, you're on the top floor.

Emma listen,

get as many people as you can

and get to the roof.

I'm in the Helo and I'll get you from there, okay!

Okay. Okay.

Okay. Get to the roof, honey.

No, no, no!

Under the table.

Drop, cover and hold on!

Lawrence, the Richter just jumped

from a 6.5 to an 8.5.

What does that mean?

Powers of ten!

So it's a hundred times stronger now!

Don't worry. Caltech is probably

the safest place to be right now.

Professor! It looks like the whole

San Andreas fault line is being activated.

And it's heading toward San Francisco.

All right. All done.

Okay.

Well, it was really nice to meet you, Ollie.

I hope you have fun while you're here.

Bye, Blake. It was nice meeting you,

as well.

Good bye.

Oh, and...

I almost forgot. Do you mind if I

borrow your book for a second?

Tell Ben that I'll put in a good word

for him.

Bye.

I can't wait to be 20.

Here you go.

Thank you.

It's an earthquake!

Well, go, go, go! Get us outta here!

God.

Go, man! Hurry, hurry!

The exit! Go, go, go!

Jesus Christ!

Oh, shit! Go!

My legs!

You okay?

Oh, my God. He's dead!

Blake?

Blake? Blake.

He's dead.

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

No, I don't think...

I don't think so.

But my legs are stuck.

Please.

Come on. Okay. Okay.

We're gonna get you out of here. Okay?

Oh, God. Okay.

Think.

Daniel?

Blake, I'm gonna go for help.

No, Daniel...

I'll be right back. I'll be right back.

No, Daniel. Don't.

Please don't leave me alone!

Daniel!

Daniel.

Let's go! Keep moving!

Come on. Hurry!

Help!

Let's go!

Help!

Keep moving! Keep moving! Let's go!

Help!

There's a girl trapped in a town car!

Where?

In the parking garage!

Oh, God!

Allen!

Get up! Get up!

Help me, somebody! Help me, please!

Out the building! Get outside!

Get out in the open! Hurry!

Mr. Riddick!

Mr. Riddick?

I need air.

Mr. Riddick!

Help me!

Move it!

Blake.

Oh, my God.

Susan!

Emma!

Susan! We gotta get to the roof!

We've gotta get out of here!

This way!

You can't...

Get out of my way!

Susan! Susan!

Oh, my God.

There's the exit!

This way! Get over here!

Ma'am! We gotta go!

Okay. Okay.

Come on! Keep moving! Keep moving!

Larissa! Larissa,

you have to come with me!

We've gotta get to the roof!

Everybody!

There's a rescue helicopter coming!

No! Wait!

Wait! We've gotta go up!

Oh, God!

Oh, my God!

Come on!

This way! This way!

Oh, my God.

Ray, you better be right about this.

Ray.

Oh, my God.

Up there!

Oh, shit.

Come on, Emma.

Come on. We gotta go.

Emma, run!

Emma.

Ray!

Emma!

I got you!

Ray.

Emma, are you hurt?

Are you hurt?

I don't think so.

Okay. It's gonna be okay, but listen.

We gotta get outta here.

Get to the front left seat.

I'll be right there.

Okay.

Okay?

Shit!

Oh, my God.

Get up!

Oh, God.

Ray!

Hold on!

Help!

Somebody help me!

Help! Somebody help!

This is Ray.

Dad, please help!

Blake, what's wrong?

There's been a huge earthquake!

I don't know where Daniel went.

I'm stuck in a limo in a garage in the dark.

I'm really, really scared, Dad!

Baby, are you hurt?

No, but my leg is...

Blake! Goddamn it.

What? What is it?

Shit.

Her cell service just went out.

There's no way rescue personnel are gonna

be digging in garages any time soon.

There's too many populated places

above ground.

What...

What are we gonna do?

We're going to get our daughter.

Blake!

Help!

I'm over here!

Blake! Blake, it's Ben.

Are you okay?

I can't get out. The roof's collapsing.

My legs are trapped.

Okay. Okay.

All right, Ollie, we need to lift this beam

to get the pressure off her legs.

Okay?

Yeah.

Oh, let's try this.

Okay, ready?

Ready? One, two, three.

Come on, Ollie.

Give it everything you've got.

I am!

It's not working!

Ollie!

Ben?

Ollie?

We're still here.

Oh, no.

No.

You have to get out of here.

This building's gonna collapse.

There's not a chance in hell

we're leaving you in there.

Okay. Okay.

All right.

Here we go.

Okay.

Brilliant. It's working!

All right.

It won't go any higher.

I'm still stuck!

Ollie!

She's moving!

Hurry, hurry. Hurry!

Got you!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Thank you. Thank you, guys.

Pleasure.

Good job.

Come on. It's another aftershock.

We've got to get out of here.

Look out!

Move, move, move! Hurry!

Come on! Come on! We have to

get away from these buildings.

Blake!

Oh, my God.

Blake! This way!

This way!

Jesus!

Oh, my God!

Ollie!

Blake!

Come on!

Go, go, go!

All right, this way.

I cannot believe that Daniel

just took off.

What an asshole.

Step aside.

I gotta get a hold of my parents.

I gotta let them know I'm okay.

Cell phones aren't working.

I've tried.

We need to find an electronics store.

Does that book of yours list businesses?

My book has everything.

The good news is most of

our emergency systems are still working.

We've got signals coming in

from 17 monitors.

We just experienced a 9.1.

Lawrence. You need to see this.

What do we got?

Here are the pulse rates

before the quake.

Yeah, okay.

And here are the pulse rates now.

The same. Or higher.

So the earthquake didn't diminish them.

Oh, man.

Oh, this is not good.

Alexi, I want all the data from every monitoring

station still up along the fault line.

And get it for me now.

Right.

What's going on?

This is not over.

Shit.

Oh, man. This thing's fried.

Come on. I need everybody.

What are we doing?

Getting you on the air.

We need to warn people.

How?

There's no way to upload a signal.

You're at Caltech.

Okay, who wants an A in independent

study, I'm starting a new class.

How to Save Lives

by Hacking Media Outlets.

Hell, yeah, man. I'm in.

Sweet. Get your laptop. Let's go.

Right here. Move, move, move.

Here we go. Up. Lift.

Let's go! Over here.

It should be just up ahead.

There it is.

Okay anything,

running on electricity isn't

gonna work so we have to find,

a rotary or a push-button phone.

How do you know all this?

My dad.

He works for L.A. Fire and Rescue.

Over here.

Great. I'll look for a landline.

I got one!

Blake?

Dad.

Dad. I got out. I'm okay.

She's okay.

Let me talk to her.

Blake?

Mom?

Oh, thank God, honey.

Is Daniel okay?

He left me, Mom.

He what?

He told a security guard

where I was and then

he just took off and...

these two brothers that I met

overheard him and they came to help me.

I'm with them right now.

He left her?

We're coming to get you, honey.

Where are you?

I'm in an electronics store in Chinatown.

Honey, it's gonna be okay,

but I need you to listen to me.

Getting outta there is gonna be

a complete gridlock nightmare.

So get to higher ground. It's safer.

That's where I'm gonna

be able to see you.

Do you remember where we spent

Mallory's birthday weekend?

At Coit Tower?

Yeah. Yeah. That tall

cement nozzle thing on the hill.

Exactly.

Don't stop anywhere. Go there.

That's where we'll meet.

Stay strong, honey.

We're coming to get you.

Okay.

Wait, Mom. Mom.

How are you and Dad together?

We'll explain later. Okay, honey?

I love you.

I love you guys.

Bye.

Hi, you've reached Daniel. Please leave

me a message and I'll get back to you.

You left my daughter?

If you're not already dead,

I'm gonna fucking kill you.

Thattagirl.

All right. We need to get going.

So how is your dad going to pick us up?

He's on his way in a helicopter.

That's so cool.

I need you to look up Coit Tower

on your map.

It's your turn.

Your parents will be worried sick.

Thank you.

Another aftershock!

It's okay. It's all right.

Run! Run!

Get out of my way!

Hey! That was my spot!

You know, when you were

talking to Blake...

that was the first time I heard you

say Mallory's name since we lost her.

Hey, did you know that Blake keeps

pictures from our San Francisco trip?

Yeah, in her memory box.

It's ironic.

Us heading back up there.

It was a fun trip.

Where are we?

Bakersfield.

Or what's left of it.

We're just about 90 minutes

from San Francisco.

Ray?

Did you just turn off the engine?

We got a gearbox failure.

Must've been that hit we took in L.A.

I'm gonna have to auto-rotate down.

Auto-what?

We're gonna crash.

Right. Okay.

Hold on.

Here we go.

Hold on!

Oh, my God!

Almost there. Almost there.

We're just gonna set her down

right here.

Jesus!

Oh, my God!

We got fuel all over us.

We need to get outta here.

Get off me!

Come on, we gotta go. Stay low. Stay low.

Okay.

It's okay.

We just gotta keep moving.

Just gotta keep moving.

Give it to me.

Stay here, man!

No, it's mine!

I got the last one here, Robin!

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Get in, get in, get in, get in.

Looks like it's been stolen.

All right. Well, we'll steal it again.

Ray.

Easy.

Back it up! Come on!

I'll be needing that truck.

Not today.

Oh, my God.

The quake centered

about 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.

Cell towers are down.

Most of the city's electricity, down.

Communication at a virtual standstill.

The devastation to Southern California

is expected to be massive.

In fact, the entire state will take a hit. We're

already getting reports of collapsed buildings...

We're in.

Yes!

As far north

as San Francisco and the Bay Area.

There have been

at least five aftershocks ranging...

Okay. Here we go.

Producers are telling us we have

our first live feed from Los Angeles.

Serena Johnson is on the ground

at the seismology center at Caltech.

Hello, Chris.

I'm here with Dr. Lawrence Hayes, Executive

Director for Earthquake Studies at Caltech.

He and his research partner,

Dr. Kim Park

have come up with a model

that predicts earthquakes.

They knew L.A. was going to get hit.

But nobody listened to them.

It's time now to listen.

Go ahead, doctor.

Okay.

In seismology terms, what we're experiencing

is what we call a swarm event.

Basically, California's entire

tectonic plate has shifted.

Yes it seem the quake

we experienced in Los Angeles

did damage all the way

up in San Francisco.

Yeah, but the earthquake that they felt,

was from movement along the fault

line in the Central Valley.

Their end of the fault line

has not moved yet.

More importantly, people need to know

that the shaking is not over.

And it's not aftershocks I'm talking about.

San Francisco will get hit again.

And it's going to be

a bigger monster this time.

Our models are predicting

a 9.5 or greater.

It will be so big that, even though

it's happening here in California...

you will feel it on the East Coast.

Now, I cannot emphasize this enough

to the people of San Francisco.

You need to get out.

And I mean now.

And, if you can't, you need to find

any means possible,

to drop, cover and hold on.

Because your life is gonna depend on it.

God be with you.

You ever think about what our life

would be like if we hadn't lost Mallory?

Em, don't.

I do.

All the time.

We moved on.

No, we didn't move on.

We stopped moving.

You didn't lose her on your watch.

No. But I lost her.

Can we not talk about this?

You owe it to me.

This! This is the most

I've gotten out of you since she died.

I need to know, Ray.

Was it me?

What did I do?

I never blamed you.

I don't wanna talk about it.

It doesn't matter.

She's gone. Now you're gone...

What's the point?

I guess the point is...

this is why I didn't stick around.

Hey! Hey!

Look out! Watch out! You have to stop!

Hey! Slow down! Hey!

Ray!

What is this?

The San Andreas fault.

I told you we should've

gone the other way.

Because you knew

this was gonna happen?

You!

We owe you guys a huge thanks.

Really.

No need.

We nearly made

the same mistake ourselves...

but busted an axle

when we went off the road.

Thank goodness my eyes

are better than his.

Do you know if there's any way around this?

Well...

the 198 might not be out.

Through the pass.

How far is that?

Oh, ya gotta backtrack, maybe...

70 miles or so.

Sir, if you don't mind me asking...

where'd you get your hat?

You guys really bailed us out.

You sure we can't fly you anywhere?

Yeah. Our son lives in the mountains.

There's no place to land.

Thanks for the wheels.

You bet.

Be safe.

Bye.

We should be fueled up

in a couple of minutes.

Okay. Great.

Everything okay?

You asked me before if it was you.

It wasn't.

I knew you didn't blame me.

I just didn't know how to deal

with Mallory's death.

It was my idea

to take Mallory rafting that day.

You can't blame yourself

for what happened.

It's just different when it's your own kid.

I know.

Sometimes I can't get that look she had

outta my head.

The moment she realized...

that I wasn't gonna be able to save her.

And then coming home every day

to you and Blake only made it harder.

Because nothing was the way it used

to be. And the way it used to be was...

It was perfect.

I should've let you in.

I just didn't know how.

I'm so sorry for how things

ended with us, Em.

I really am.

If you couldn't save our daughter...

then nobody could have.

I miss her so much.

Me, too.

Let's go get our daughter.

Let's go! Keep it moving! Let's go!

Come on. Let's go.

Follow the evacuation route.

Just a few more blocks

to Lombard Avenue,

which leads to Coit Tower.

Do you mind if I ask why you wear

two of the same necklaces?

One of them used to be my sister's.

I started wearing it after she died.

We had given them to each other

for Christmas the year before.

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean...

No. It's okay.

I'm not hiding them.

Hey. Check it out.

What are you doing?

They should have a supply box.

It'll have stuff that we can use.

Is this it?

Yes!

Oh, okay.

Here we go.

Every city has a tactical channel,

the first responders use

to communicate on.

We can listen in,

we can see what's going on.

Okay.

Here. Take these.

Yeah.

Take this.

What's an MRE?

Meals Ready-to-Eat.

These things have a shelf life

of over three years.

They don't taste so good.

Blake!

I think we're going to have a problem with

that big nozzle thing you were talking about.

What?

What do you mean?

Oh, my God.

We have to go to Plan B.

I didn't think we had one.

We do now.

We need to get to the next highest ground so

that we can signal my dad in the helicopter.

That would be Nob Hill.

It's the highest point in the city.

It's the other way.

Okay. Come on!

No.

Blake, wait! Wait! Just...

Just wait.

Coming through. Move, move, move!

Blake, we'd be the only ones

going that way.

My dad said to get to higher ground,

so that's what we gotta do.

But...

What if he doesn't make it?

Listen, I know that this sounds crazy.

But you have to trust me that he will.

I... I ca...

Ben.

Did you know about the push-button

phone working with the landline?

The supply box?

Tactical radio channels?

I really think we should stick with her.

Okay.

Looks like we're going to Nob Hill.

Okay.

Let's go.

Looks like the whole city's evacuating.

Em, we got a problem at the airport.

Where are we gonna land?

We can't. At least, not in the city.

Come with me.

Okay.

You gotta be kidding me.

Em, we have no place

to set this plane down,

and we have to get as close

to Coit Tower as we possibly can.

In three minutes,

we're gonna be over Embarcadero.

And?

And, we're gonna drop into AT&T Park.

But I don't know how to parachute.

That's okay. We're gonna tandem-jump.

I think we should stay with the plane.

The plane's gonna nosedive in the Pacific

as soon as it runs out of gas.

Okay.

Trust me.

Oh, my God!

You ready?

Do I sound ready?

Yep!

It's been a while

since I got you to second base.

With a grave warning from Dr. Lawrence

Hayes blanketing the airwaves...

San Francisco has begun

evacuation procedure.

The Coast Guard is asking anyone

with access to a boat to please volunteer.

The fault line in the Central Valley.

Their end of the fault line

has not moved yet.

San Francisco is going to get hit again,

and this will be a much bigger monster.

I hope we've given everyone

enough warning.

This is it, isn't it?

Right now, I wanna be so wrong.

Everyone, take cover!

This will be over soon here.

But pray for the people

of San Francisco.

Did you know Nob is a slang term

which means rich or wealthy.

It's a shortened version of the word nobility,

because of the families that live there.

It's also derisively known as Snob Hill.

What is it?

Daniel built that building.

Oh, my God!

Oh, shit.

Move! Move!

Come on, Ollie!

Ollie!

I want to go home now!

Just hold on!

It's gonna be okay. I promise!

Head to the building!

They're gonna get killed out there.

Em, get to the side of the stadium.

I'll be right there.

I'll be right there!

It's not safe here. Go to the side

of the stadium, right now!

This building's gonna collapse.

You need to move!

Come on. Go, go.

Hurry! You gotta get off the street!

Get to the side of the stadium!

Right now! Side of the stadium!

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Off the street! Get to the stadium.

Side of the stadium! Come on!

Get out of the street!

Help!

It's all right. Come on. I got you.

I got you. And up!

Go.

Over here, Ray!

I got her! I got her.

Here, take her, Em.

You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay. It's all right.

Everybody down!

Everybody okay?

We're good.

Anybody hurt?

No.

Emma.

You okay?

Yeah.

How'd you know we'd be safe?

Just get up against something sturdy.

Protect yourself.

Triangle of life.

Let's go.

She's gonna be okay.

But how do we get through that?

We don't.

We go around it.

Okay.

We have to get that out of there.

If you try walking with it,

it could cause more damage.

This is gonna hurt.

Are you ready?

Okay.

Ben!

I'm all right.

Do you think you could

put some weight on it?

We have to keep moving.

We gotta get up that hill.

Yeah.

Okay.

Here.

How bad did they get hit?

9.6.

Largest quake in recorded history.

Oh, no.

Coit's been burning a while.

She's gone someplace else.

Now, where are you, baby?

Where are you?

What's your Plan B?

Oh, shit.

What's happening?

We gotta go. Water being pulled out

like that's a tsunami.

We gotta get outta the bay, now.

Wait. Wait, wait a second.

Just give me one second.

God!

The Weather Service

has issued a Tsunami warning,

for coastal areas of Northern and Central

California, including the following counties:

Marin, Napa, San Francisco and Monterey.

Come on, guys. We gotta go!

We gotta go! We gotta move fast!

We gotta get to Daniel's building.

Ray.

I see it!

All right, hold on!

We gotta get over it before it crests!

Come on!

We're gonna make it.

We're gonna make it!

Yeah.

Oh, Shit!

Ray!

Move it!

Out of my way!

Shit.

What's that noise?

We're not high enough.

Get down! Get down! Take cover!

Hold on tight, Ollie!

Ben!

Ollie.

The water's still rising.

We have to get higher.

This way!

Ben.

Ollie, come. Grab on.

I've got you.

Oh, my God.

Where is she, Ray?

She's a smart girl.

She'd know to head

for one of these high-rises.

We just gotta find her.

Ugh.

Are you all right?

We need to take a look at that leg.

Okay.

Ollie, see if there's something

that we can use as a bandage.

And see if you can find clean water.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay. Let's see

what we're dealing with here.

What?

You're absolutely...

You're unbelievable.

Mum's going to love her.

There are a few towels in here.

Oh, great.

I'll look for some water.

Just jump! Come on!

I got you.

Hey!

I can see some people in a boat!

No way.

No way!

Those are my parents!

Mom! Dad! Mom!

Help! Hey!

Dad!

Dad! Mom!

Mom.

They can't hear us.

What?

Em, if we don't get to her soon,

we're gonna need some gas.

We got maybe an hour

and a half, tops before...

Ray.

Yeah?

Hold on.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, it's Blake!

Oh, my God!

Emma! Oh, we found her.

Blake!

Help! Blake!

Blake!

Ollie!

I've got you! I've got you!

Where's Blake?

She's back there!

Stay here, Ollie.

Blake!

Bla...

No! No!

No!

The building's sinking!

We have to move.

We have to move up.

Come on, Ollie, hurry!

No, no, no.

No! Oh, my God, Blake!

Em, take the wheel.

I see a way in.

I'm going after her.

Ray!

I'm bringing her back.

I promise.

Blake!

Daddy!

The door's blocked!

Blake, don't worry.

I'm gonna get you outta here.

Okay? I'm getting you out!

Daddy, I'm scared.

I'm running out of air!

Daddy, I don't think I can do this.

Blake, you hold on, hold on!

There!

Ben, I don't want Blake to die.

She's not going to die.

I'm going back for her.

Okay? But I need you to stay here.

Okay?

Good boy.

Ollie!

Ben!

On my back! On my back, Ollie!

Blake's going to die.

Isn't she?

All right.

Dad.

I love...

I love you, Dad.

And please tell...

Please tell Mom that I love her, too.

Blake, don't you quit on me!

Blake!

I'm sorry, Dad.

Blake!

No!

Blake!

Blake! Oh, my God!

Move, Ollie. Move.

Come on. Breathe, Blake.

Breathe, honey.

We gotta get outta here.

Break a window!

Oh, my God.

Move! Get outta the way!

Watch out!

Get on! Let's go! Let's go!

Move. Move, Ollie, move.

Come on, Ray.

Take her, Emma.

I got her.

It's okay. Here you go.

Wake up, honey.

Come on.

Okay, we got her.

Get us outta here, Em!

The building's coming down.

Everybody down!

Okay, Blake.

Your dad and I, we're right here now.

We're right here.

Breathe, Blake. Breathe.

Come on. Breathe.

Don't leave me.

Dad and I are right here, all right?

Okay.

Ray...

My baby.

I'm not gonna lose you, too. No.

Come on.

Oh, my God.

Okay. Okay.

Mom.

I'm right here. I'm right here. Yeah.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

We are now getting a better

picture of the scale of the devastation.

And this was the sight

in many neighborhoods:

Families and friends

huddled together,

shaken but grateful to still be alive.

Seismologists will be keeping a close watch

on all of the world's tectonic plates...

as the San Andreas quake could have

rippling effects throughout the globe.

Closer to home,

nerves are finally calming.

Hey.

You did good.

Thank you.

We all did.

Authorities in San Francisco are attributing

a tremendous amount of lives saved...

thanks to local experts, who were able to

give ample warning of the massive quake.

Meanwhile, recovery efforts

have begun in the Bay Area...

where FEMA, the National Guard and U.N.

relief teams have all been mobilized,

aided by the thousands of volunteers

pouring into the state.

Ollie. Ben.

I, uh...

I found this on the boat.

Thank you.

I wanna thank you guys

for being there for Blake.

Yeah, thank you.

You're welcome.

But it was more like

she was there for us.

I think.

This is incredible.

So...

what now?

Now we rebuild.
