Man:
We've been trying,

but we can't get a signal

down here.

We need to get out

of this airport right now

before it burns to the ground.

Man:

Get out of here?

We ain't going nowhere.

Is there a driver

on this train?

- That'd be me.

Can we leave?

Oh, no.

Central shut down

the power, emergency

brakes came up,

- Woman:
Walk?

Man:
Walk?

Ain't nobody walking.

- What did you say?

- We could walk.

I got maps of the system

and I got all

the maintenance tunnels

with the exits marked.

We can walk

right out of here.

That's a brilliant idea.

You're my new best friend.

- What are you gonna do when

the T starts running again?

- Let's go.

You don't want to come,

you don't got to come.

I don't care.

You guys are idiots.

We're safe right here.

Only if this lasts less

than 24 hours.

- What do you mean?

- The groundwater.

The sewage workers

pump out the groundwater.

If nobody's

manning the pumps,

whole system floods.
