Along the way, they are confronted by Russ and Desi at gunpoint. Mac is able to convince them he's still on the side of Phoenix, but the meeting is captured by a CODEX camera. Leland shows the footage to Gwen and states that Mac and Riley will be killed when they get to their fake destination, along with members of Gwen's team. Mac devises a way to save Riley and himself, and later convinces Gwen to accept that they can save the world together without destroying a billion or more lives. Mac figures out that the nuke will be used to trigger the massive volcano that rests under Yellowstone National Park by blowing up a dam and forcing water down a thousand-mile passage that was drilled. He concludes that they can't keep the bomb from exploding, but he can disable the nuclear reaction.

Reunited with Phoenix, Mac arranges a Senate hearing wherein he presents his mother's climate change research. |
