- It's myjob to know that, sweetheart.

- Hello, Emmit. Hello, feet.

It is so you to blow a vacation day

for a little tremor. What are you doing here?

- Vacation means you don't come in.

- Roark, your ex-wife called.

If a dam breaks, the Mayor calls,

I don't want you saying I'm fishing.

Mayor's in Aspen.

We don't pull her off the slopes for only a 4.9.

- Besides, I'd cover for you.

- Yeah, you look comfortable at my desk.

Yeah, it was like I belonged there.

I thought he had the week off.

Yeah, it's that Midwestern work ethic.

Oh, what is that? What is that?

- Water main...

- ..ruptured. Gas is gone, too. I sent crews out.

Other than that,

the phone and power lines are all up.

Thank you.

Gotta be fast, fast, fast.

- Look, watch. You see that...?

- Yeah, I've got...

That man loves to hover.

Yeah, like you don't!

Seismologists are saying today's

quake mayhave revealed a new fault system

- not previously thought to be active.

- I don't care what your supervisor said!

Nobody ran a work order past me

and this vehicle is on public property!

- You gonna ticket us?

- You're the cute one.

How 'bout I tow your ass, honey?

Jesus! Get an ambulance!

Quickly!

- What the hell happened?

- Ohhh!

- Gently, gently!

- Help's coming. Where's Danny?

Danny! Danny? Where are the others?

They burnt up...

Hot...

A code 6 from Public Works.

MacArthur Park. Possible fire or explosion.

Casualties reported.

Word is coming in of a possible

gas explosion in the MacArthurPark area.

We don't have any details as yet

as to the precise nature or size of the blast,

which is said to have injured

a number of city workers, some seriously.

- Rescue crews are responding at the site...

- Oh, God.

- What are you doing here?

- Got a call. Said Public Works lost 7 guys.

Freak accident on a storm drain job.

They hit a steam pocket and got scalded.

No fires, no explosions, no continuing threat.

We'll copy you on a report.

Steam did that?

Yeah.

Where's the survivor?

He's at Saint V's right now.

Critical, last time I checked,

but I'd like to notify the families before they

hear about it on Geraldo, ifyou don't mind.

Mind if I have a look for myself?

Roark,... we'll copy.

- Mike! Mike!

- OK?

Stan! Get over here.

I wanna show you something.

How's the choo-choo behaving?

All right. This is where your problem is.

Was.

This... is your Red Line tunnel.

OK.

What I wanna do is shut down this section

just as a precaution until we know.

Why should we look bad

because DWP blew some pipes out?

Nothing blew down there, Olber.

They hit a steam pocket.

- Steam?

- Yeah.

The tunnel walls are five feet of concrete.
