Where's the threat to my trains?

Mine.

- Can we wrap this up?

- Maybe the earthquake tore something out.

- Sh*t.

- Let's find out before we...

You're only happy declaring an emergency!

No, I actually enjoy motor sports, music

and the company of close friends,... sir.

30,000 people think they're taking the train

home tonight. What am I supposed to do?

Put on extra buses.

It's his mess. Let him take the sh*t for it.

..all around me

I can see rescue workers and body bags.

This is an awful tragedy for the families of

the workers who perishedhere this morning.

..intersection of7th andAlvarado.

Bodies are spread across the sidewalks.

We're told one worker did survive,

but his identity has not been released yet.

- 170 over 105.

- Let's give him some more morphine.

- Start another line of ringers.

- Let's cut away his burnt clothing.

Fran, look.

Steam doesn't char clothing like this.

This is a flame burn.

Methane?

No.

Something else.

The trouble was not caused by steam,

which, if you'll recall from our briefing

this morning, was our position all along.

This is such a bad idea, Mike.

This isn't OEM. This is DWP's show.

- I wanna know what's in that hole.

- Let Public Works send a crew in.

I can't wait three days for a report.

Can you, Gator?

- Hell, no.

- OK, let's go.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

7, 8, 9

I'm the one that praised the land...

This is Emmit Reese.

Emmit Reese to Ground Control.

Los Angeles, do you copy?

Yeah, we copy. It's hot as hell down here.

You all right?

Great!

Is it too late to switch jobs with Emmit?

He doesn't want your job.

He wants mine, Gator.

Yes, and a company car, Mike.

Don't forget that.

- OK, we're coming up... Whoa!

- Look at that. A rat!

OK, we're coming up on the storm drain now.

This is where those guys died.

Seven guys right here.

Must have died in a hurry.

Let's have a look.

Go on.

- Emmit Reese.

- Roark! Roark, is that you? Roark!

- Mike, it's Chief Sindelar on the line.

- Take a message.

You want me to tell the Chief of Police

I gotta take a message?

Yeah.

Tell him, uh... I'm slightly busy right now.

That's the issue he wants to discuss with you.

What's he doing!

Public Works is sending a crewin.

Those guys are idiots. He knows that.

Mike felt this was too time-sensitive to wait.

Tell him we've got procedures.

He's not in Kansas anymore!

- You're notin Kansas anymore, Michael.

- St Louis. I'm not in St Louis.

- St Louis. He's not in St Louis.

- I don't give a sh*t where he's not!

- He has a desk now! That's where he works!

- You have a desk. That's where you work.

Got a reading here.

There is a steam vent.

Water and Power had it right.
