10.5 Page #3

Synopsis: The West coast of Northern America suffers an unprecedented series of major earthquakes in a matter of days, puzzling seismologists, including Dr. Jordan Fisher's team. His maverick assistant Samantha Hill comes up with a theory, which they confirm on site, that a deep tectonic rift links them and is likely to sink most of California into the Pacific. The only imaginable countermeasure are subterranean nuclear explosions. Three succeed, one rather causes a new problem. Meanwhile federal and other authorities as well as various people wrestle with side-effects like landslides and cope with a huge refugees exodus.

That's none of your business.

Oh, that means no.

Thank you very much.

Step aside now.

He's all yours, Zack.

I got it.

Keep pressure on that artery.

This guy's a bleeder.

Yeah, I'm on it.

She still wants me to

take the Porsche back.

Can you believe it?

Sponge. Are you going to?

No way.

It took me three months to get

a turbo 911 in that color.

You can't reason

with her, huh?

She wants a new house.

How do you reason with that?

Well, you guys just

really need to talk.

Nah. I'm gonna wait this out.

She'll crumble eventually.

Yeah? You sure about that?

Okay, let's flush

the pericardium.

You don't want me

to stop the bleeding first?

No.

Why not?

Look at that EKG.

See the rate?

I'll cauterize the vein

after I've got the bullet.

The bullet can wait.

Let me stop the bleeding,

just to be safe.

Bullet's lodged in a vein.

Owen, relax. I've got

it under control.

If you need help, all

you have to do is ask.

Don't need help.

Don't do the Maverick thing.

Don't do it, Zack.

Don't do it? Oh. Why,

it's already done.

Sponge, please.

Boy, we sure saved this guy

some bleeding and some

scar tissue, huh?

We need to talk.

Thousands more are

still missing

in what many are calling

the biggest disaster

to hit the west coast

in over a century.

Most of the transportation

in the Seattle area

has all but halted

as workers attempt

to open up access...

The faults were activated

by a larger fault.

We centered the epicenter nine

miles South of Ellensburg.

Did you confirm it

with the university?

UCW is down,

but we got confirmations from

both Denver and Spokane.

State of emergency

for the entire Seattle area...

You were right, Sam.

It's worse than I thought.

To provide aid and relief to

the victims of this tragedy.

Every time you come

in to assist me,

it's the cowboy thing.

It's the one-man Zack show.

What's your point?

We're a team.

We're supposed to be

working together.

I had it under control.

What if you hadn't?

Would you have asked?

It's never happened.

I don't know.

If you were wrong today,

and that bullet was

lodged in the aorta,

that patient would have bled

to death on my table...

I'm not gonna concern myself

with alternate realities,

because the only reality

of the situation

is that I was right,

and I saved that poor guy

some serious

internal bleeding.

Who are you trying

to impress, Zack?

I don't even know what

you're talking about.

Then why are you always

showing off in the O.R.?

Look, what would

you have done?

Procedure.

Procedure would have

taken twice as long.

The guy would have lost

an extra pint of blood.

Come on, why don't you tell me

what's really on your mind?
