Why don't you just

ask for help?

Because I don't...

I don't need help.

Everyone needs help

some time or another.

No, no, not me.

One of these days,

you're gonna screw up

and cost someone their life.

Tell Jill I said hi.

Finally the angels

have come for you.

Hello?

It's me.

What do you want, Owen?

Zack says hi.

That's not why you're calling.

We need to talk.

Well, you should

have done that

before you went out

and bought that car.

Come on, baby.

Can't you just let it go?

No, I can't, Owen.

I think I deserve a

reward now and then.

What's wrong with that?

What about me, huh?

What about the kids?

We're falling all

over ourselves

in this house.

I like that house.

It's too small,

and you know it.

Mom!

There was a quake in Seattle.

It's on the news.

I'm on the phone.

A lot of people bit it.

I know. I know. I

heard about it.

The University of Washington

and the University

of Puget Sound

have been closed until

further notice.

Over 2,000 people are

reported missing

in the downtown

Seattle area...

Oh, lord.

What happened?

Uh, the quake.

We had a quake?

No, in Seattle...

See? Right there.

That is exactly

what I'm talking about.

What are you talking about?

You are too wrapped

up in yourself

to see anything around you,

including us.

I didn't call to argue.

Then return the car,

and that's final.

Jill, hang on...

The military has

sprung into action...

God...

Just stop or you're

both in trouble.

Out.

So, are we good now?

Yeah. Why?

Well, no reason.

It's just, we've only been on

the road less than an hour,

and we've already had

to make a pit stop.

Well, do you have

to be somewhere?

No, I'd just like to

be at the campground

before it gets dark.

I don't see what

the big rush is.

We're not in a big rush.

Well, if there's no rush,

then why are you

pressuring me?

Look... why don't

we just drop it?

Fine. It's dropped.

We've got seismic activity

in Northern California.

We're getting activity

all over Northern California.

Berkeley's reporting

an 8.4 aftershock.

8.4 aftershock?

That's bigger than

the original quake.

That doesn't make sense.

Well, we're getting reports here

it was felt as far as

South of San Bernardino.

Are you sure it was

an aftershock?

Yeah. We can't find

the hypocenter,

and there doesn't appear to

be any new rupture zone.

What about everyone else?

Portland? Los Angeles?

Same. There's nothing.

Bob, we will do

everything in our power

to help you out

during this crisis.

I know how difficult

it must be right now.

You can count on our support.

Excuse me, Governor. You

have another call on line 2.

One moment.

I'm sorry, I'm going to
