Greenland 2: Migration

It's not easy to move past certain things.

I don't know how anyone ever could.

-(COMET FRAGMENTS WHOOSHING) -(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

Especially this...

75% of the world, maybe more.

We still don't know.

Gone.

-(EXPLOSION) -(FLAMES ROARING)

Five years since impact,

but Clarke wasn't done with us yet.

Fragments stuck in our orbit,

pelting us without warning.

We tried rebuilding,

but the world wasn't ready.

-Forcing us back inside. -(EXPLOSION ECHOES)

Radiation hit differently everywhere.

Most places burned out.

Others, for reasons we don't understand, stayed green.

Life, finding a way through the contamination.

Our bunker's holding on.

We're doing the best we can.

It's not easy living underground.

But we find joy when we can.

Together.

Microphone check. One, two. One, two.

Loud and clear, John.

You know what I woke up thinking about today?

Let's hear it.

Biscuits and gravy.

(CHUCKLES) That'd be nice.

I'd trade my left arm for a decent cup of coffee.

Peckman's Diner made the best.

Across the street from Piedmont Park.

Walk over for one of those summer concerts.

Blue sky, grass, people.

Beer.

Sounds like paradise.

Oh, it was.

Jesus. Another fissure's opened up.

More lava?

Yeah, and they're getting bigger.

Okay, looks like we've got a few lifeboats.

And another ghost ship.

A destroyer.

Nice. Feelin' lucky today?

Always. I'm starting with the lifeboats,

see what's there.

Good luck out there.

Heading to the destroyer.

We're seeing a pressure storm building off the coast,

but it looks like you've got a little time.

I won't hang around.

Jackpot.

Entering the bridge.

Oh, I've found something else.

What is it, John?

The crew.

Shit.

Oh, how beautiful.

John... -(RADIO INTERFERENCE)

John, can you hear me? John, can you hear me?

That storm just took a turn right for you.

You'd better get outta there now and get back here!

On my way.

Exiting ship now. How much time do I have?

None. It's right on top of you.

Come on...

I'm staying ahead of it, but it's gaining.

Shit, base... This one's coming in fast!

John! John, where are you?

I'm moving as fast as I can!

Open the east tunnel!

-Open the door! -(LIGHTNING CRASHES)

Open the door! Get it open!

-(DOOR CLUNKING) -(WIND HOWLING)

The storm is too close!

We have to close the blast doors, John!

I can make it!

Close, close, close!

Go, go, go, go, go!

John, are you in?

Bucharest, Romania.

The city has been destroyed by the earthquakes.

We're trapped under...

Mumbai, India.

Salt water is still rising fast.

FEMA planned for two years.

We've stretched our resources to five.

So we're basically running on fumes?

Yes. We are getting too close.

Hopefully in a year we're outside planting.

Well, we have measured a 4% reduction

in coulomb per kilogram in the last three months.

We still can't predict when it'll be safe levels again, but...

-But it's improving, yeah? -Yes.

Though that's mostly off the coast.

Yeah. Hopefully the winds will eventually

clear out the radiation.

No, that's not exactly how it works.

Continuous radiation exposure,

even at those low levels still leads to fatality.

We should discuss our contingency plans.

Okay, yeah. Um...

Canada, and much of the US, gone.

Iceland, gone.

Western Europe?

There are reports of fewer storms there, right?

-Yes. -But is the air safe?

Safer than here.

Didn't we just say that dying slowly is still dying?

I mean, am I right, Dr. Amina?

-Isn't it the same over there? -Yes.

Dr. Amina, what's the latest on the crater?

Well, my colleagues at other stations

have theorized the same thing.

And I've run my own calculations.

We can't fully explain it,

but it seems the size and shape of the crater walls

prevent the radioactive storms from forming.

This combined with its depth

are what's making it such a safe zone.

We believe it's what's keeping

the polluted air from getting in.

But, Dr. Amina, even if it was real,

it's in Southern France.

How exactly are we gonna get there?

There have been reports of fighting,

insurgency, civil war.

Europe is in chaos.

Please let's... Let's stick to reality.

Attention residents,

this is your daily reminder

to report any malfunctioning air filtration...

Please ration carefully and only...

There's people here who say it's the new normal.

Well, we're going on...

-five years now? -Mmm-hmm.

So it isn't all that new.

And it definitely ain't normal.

You know, it's no accident there were

twice as many therapists selected

as there were surgeons.

People are dealing with an incredible amount of trauma.

Why does everybody pretend like they're not, huh?

-Do you? -Pretend?

Mmm-hmm.

Sometimes.

Maybe you should stop.

Well, maybe you can recommend a good therapist

that can help me with that.

Mine's pretty good.

So, uh...

Allison, Nathan, how are they?

They're getting by.

I think, I hope.

Openness is important. Uh...

Well, they're pretty open with me.

I meant the other way around.

Seems like there's been more of those lately.

The tectonic plates are shifting again.

It's triggering a lot of activity in this region.

This bunker survived Clarke.

It'll survive tremors.

There's one more thing we should discuss.

The distress signal we received from outside.

We cannot afford to feed 50 more mouths.

We can't afford five.

I know, but these people are living

in caves and mineshafts.

Yes, and we don't know if they're bringing disease

or how much radiation they've absorbed.

Okay. We just let them die.

We tell them we are not currently in a position

to be of assistance.

-Yeah? -No.

We put it to a vote like everything else.

Motion to send out a rescue party?

I second.

General...

The vote stands.

We'll send out the Snowcat tomorrow.

And as we look at the northern sky,

which constellation is this?

-Gemini? No. No, not Gemini.
