...deputy wants to see you.
2:09:13
Mike, we've been checking
the situation in the Promenade Room.

2:09:17
We figure they've got
17 or 18 minutes left, if that.

2:09:21
It'll take more than 3 hours
to get them down by breeches buoy.

2:09:24
They'll die up there
if something's not done.

2:09:26
We might have the answer.
2:09:28
Johnson's a structural engineer.
Tell the chief your calculations.

2:09:32
The structural strength
of the joists in that room...

2:09:35
...could definitely
withstand the explosion.

2:09:40
What explosion?
2:09:43
Chief, we've got the copter ready.
2:09:45
Wait a minute. We'll handle that.
2:09:47
Just get back to your job.
2:09:51
Yes, sir.
2:09:55
What explosion?
2:09:56
We can blow the tanks
two floors above the Promenade Room.

2:09:59
They hold 1,000,000 gallons of water.
That's enough to drown the fire.

2:10:06
You're crazy.
2:10:07
Mike, it's the only way.
2:10:09
You could kill everybody up there.
2:10:12
I don't think so.
2:10:15
You don't think?
2:10:16
When you take into account the stress
factors, the design...

2:10:19
Wait a minute. Just hold it.
2:10:22
We've already made the decision.
2:10:24
Someone has got to go up there,
rig the charges and blow them.

2:10:28
There's only two people qualified
for that. You and Conners.

2:10:32
They just brought Conners down.
He's on his way to the burn center.

2:10:38
Under the circumstances,
we can't order you to go up there.

2:10:41
I'm just laying it out for you.
2:10:45
But you...
2:10:47
You see how it is, don't you?
2:10:53
How do I get back down?
