Shouting Orders ]

No, no, no !

We're working the mid-river !

We got some wormholes here.

We'll find a way through.

- It will work in the mid-river !

- Thompson needs you !

- What ?

- Thompson !

- I'll be with you in a second.

- Okay.

- What's the ratio ? All right.

- [ Radio:
Indistinct ]

Frank, you got any hope

on the New Jersey side ?

Fifty-yard cave-in, minimum.

Whatever's burning in there

is toxic as Trenton. They got samples.

Demo ! Demo !

Come on, people, speak to me !

- Give me another reading, Bob.

- I would if I had time,

but we're running out of it.

If you wanna buy some time,

you gotta blow the tunnel shut.

- What are you doin' here, Kit ?

- You're not part of this.

I know that,

but just listen to me.

We ran a terrorist hypothetical

in '94.

The only way to fix the fire

is to blow the roof in and seal

the survivors from the fumes.

Where I come from, we don't blow up

a tunnel that's already been blown up.

- Chief wants to go through mid-river.

- No, wait a minute.

Frank, you don't have to

rationalize my actions to this guy !

I know you know your job,

but we did a simulation.

You'll all be dead

before you get through.

I know you ran a drill in '94,

but right now you're not

running a goddamn thing.

Copy that.

- You're right. I just wanna help.

- You don't get it, do you ?

You don't work here anymore.

You understand that ?

Wilson, if I could just talk--

Come on, Kit.

He's gonna have you arrested !

You gotta blow the tunnel shut.

Talk to him.

You owe me that, Frank.

Talk to him.

[ Man On P.A. ]

Your attention, please.

We've decided to evacuate

the south tube.

Please collect your valuables,

lock your cars...

and proceed in an orderly fashion

back to New Jersey.

[ Shouting ]

[ Man On P.A. Continues:

Indistinct ]

- [ Gasping, Coughing ]

- What do you got ?

Sorry, Chief.

It's blocked about 20 feet in.

That structure's so shaky,

I wouldn't even risk a firecracker.

- What about hydraulics ?

We brace up as we go.

- It can't be done !

The person who says it can't

be done is always interrupted

by the one who just did it !

Feed him the line !

[ Woman ]

Wilson !

Jesus Christ !

Wilson !

Watch the metal.

It's hot.

Aaah !

[ Coughing ]

What are you doing ?

Ashley, no, this way.

No, no, no, Ashley,

you don't have to take pictures now.

[ Ashley Sobbing ]

- Ashley, look at me. Look, honey.

- It's okay.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

- Hey ! Hey !

- What's happened ?

- I don't know. You're alive.

- [ Coughing ]

I'm gonna go on up

through the tunnel.

Stay here with your family so I'll know

where you are when I come back.

- How do we get out of here ?

- It's sealed at both ends.
