1
00:01:13,450 --> 00:01:15,994
- It stopped. - What's that, Dave?
2
00:01:16,161 --> 00:01:18,037
Nothing. How we doing?
3
00:01:18,204 --> 00:01:19,330
Oh, we're ready.
4
00:01:19,497 --> 00:01:22,709
- You... feeling the magic?
- Oh, I'm feeling the magic, all right.
5
00:01:22,876 --> 00:01:24,502
- Let's hit 'em.
- Yeah.
6
00:01:24,669 --> 00:01:26,880
- Let's do it.
- Here we go.
7
00:01:27,046 --> 00:01:30,592
- Let's hit 'em.
- Let's go make $30 million.
8
00:01:35,472 --> 00:01:37,098
Good morning.
9
00:01:38,308 --> 00:01:40,685
Before I begin, let me...
10
00:01:49,110 --> 00:01:51,196
- David?
- I'll go get help.
11
00:01:52,572 --> 00:01:54,199
Jesus. Jesus, David.
12
00:01:54,365 --> 00:01:57,243
- Phone 911. Phone 911!
- David?
13
00:02:05,752 --> 00:02:07,921
Nick? Nicky?!
14
00:02:08,087 --> 00:02:09,714
Nicky!
15
00:02:33,154 --> 00:02:34,864
OK.
16
00:02:35,031 --> 00:02:37,534
It's OK, it's OK.
You'll be OK.
17
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:39,327
Get everybody else off the bus.
18
00:02:45,542 --> 00:02:48,253
Sound waves.
19
00:02:49,587 --> 00:02:50,588
So...
20
00:02:51,422 --> 00:02:56,553
...if we know that sound waves
gain wavelength
21
00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:59,264
and lose frequency
22
00:02:59,430 --> 00:03:02,267
as they travel
through more dense materials...
23
00:03:04,143 --> 00:03:06,229
...then the anomalies in these waves...
24
00:03:08,398 --> 00:03:11,025
...are the means
by which we can surmise
25
00:03:11,192 --> 00:03:13,653
the fundamental architecture
of our planet.
26
00:03:16,155 --> 00:03:18,157
How the nails coming, Christine?
27
00:03:20,118 --> 00:03:24,038
Good. All right,
let's have a demonstration.
28
00:03:24,205 --> 00:03:27,542
Mr. Acker, Veronica.
Thank you very much.
29
00:03:30,378 --> 00:03:34,632
All right. Mrs. Limestone,
being a big softie, you know,
30
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:37,802
loves walks in the park, bedtime
stories, big romantic. Loves Chet.
31
00:03:37,969 --> 00:03:40,013
I can't play Chet,
but I'll see what I can do.
32
00:03:40,179 --> 00:03:42,849
Watch the oscilloscope, all right?
33
00:03:43,016 --> 00:03:44,601
Here we go.
34
00:03:52,775 --> 00:03:55,612
- Dr. Joshua Keyes?
- Maybe.
35
00:03:55,778 --> 00:03:59,282
- Yes or no, sir?
- The first one.
36
00:03:59,449 --> 00:04:01,034
Please come with us, sir.
37
00:04:04,662 --> 00:04:08,249
- Guys, what's going on?
- We don't know, sir.
38
00:04:08,416 --> 00:04:10,335
What do you mean, you don't know?
39
00:04:10,501 --> 00:04:13,171
Your security clearance
is higher than ours.
40
00:04:13,338 --> 00:04:14,923
I have security clearance?
41
00:04:15,089 --> 00:04:18,134
We're just here to
bring you to your jet.
42
00:04:18,301 --> 00:04:19,344
I have a jet?
43
00:04:36,402 --> 00:04:38,154
Hey, Serge.
44
00:04:38,321 --> 00:04:40,198
Serge. Serge.
45
00:04:40,365 --> 00:04:44,369
Damn! It's about time.
You're always late.
46
00:04:45,578 --> 00:04:47,205
Let's keep moving, gentlemen.
47
00:04:47,372 --> 00:04:50,708
What am I doing here? They wouldn't
brief me until you got here.
48
00:04:50,875 --> 00:04:54,712
You know, there are biochemists
everywhere, military. I hate them.
49
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:57,548
When are you going to meet a nice girl
and bring her for dinner?
50
00:04:57,715 --> 00:05:00,176
- I'm married to my work.
- So am I.
51
00:05:00,343 --> 00:05:04,430
Which makes my wife my mistress.
That's why I'm still in love with her.
52
00:05:05,598 --> 00:05:08,142
- You were always a romantic.
- I love my wife.
53
00:05:08,309 --> 00:05:11,145
- Yeah, I know. I love your wife, too.
- I know.
54
00:05:11,312 --> 00:05:13,231
But I don't love your wife.
You know what I mean.
55
00:05:13,398 --> 00:05:14,399
You don't love her
the same way, you know.
56
00:05:14,565 --> 00:05:16,985
It's the French.
I think it's the cheese.
57
00:05:17,151 --> 00:05:18,236
The cheese.
58
00:05:18,403 --> 00:05:22,156
- You're... you're teasing me, right?
- Oh, my...!
59
00:05:22,323 --> 00:05:23,992
Whoa. Wait, these are bodies.
60
00:05:24,158 --> 00:05:25,785
I think we're
in the wrong place here.
61
00:05:25,952 --> 00:05:29,247
- Yeah, we're in the wrong place.
- No. If you were in the wrong place,
62
00:05:29,414 --> 00:05:31,165
you would've already been shot.
63
00:05:31,332 --> 00:05:34,919
- That's a hell of a greeting.
- Serge.
64
00:05:35,086 --> 00:05:37,505
- Serge.
- Serge. Yes. Always a pleasure.
65
00:05:37,672 --> 00:05:39,674
Same here, Thomas.
Dr. Keyes.
66
00:05:39,841 --> 00:05:42,343
I know. Tom Purcell.
67
00:05:42,510 --> 00:05:45,013
Gentlemen, you do realise
that everything here
68
00:05:45,179 --> 00:05:47,390
is totally classified, OK?
69
00:05:50,518 --> 00:05:52,645
At 10.30 a.m. local time,
70
00:05:52,812 --> 00:05:55,773
32 civilians,
all within a ten-block radius...
71
00:05:56,649 --> 00:05:57,859
...died.
72
00:05:58,026 --> 00:06:01,779
They didn't get sick first.
They simply hit the ground dead.
73
00:06:01,946 --> 00:06:04,449
- Nerve agent?
- Our first guess. No.
74
00:06:04,615 --> 00:06:08,077
- They all died at the same time?
- As far as we can tell, to the second.
75
00:06:08,244 --> 00:06:10,621
This hits CNN in one hour.
I need a reason.
76
00:06:10,788 --> 00:06:13,332
Is there a variation
in sex, age, body type?
77
00:06:13,499 --> 00:06:15,168
They all had pacemakers.
78
00:06:15,918 --> 00:06:19,380
Under a minute.
Your reputation is well-deserved.
79
00:06:21,299 --> 00:06:23,259
- Hey, hey, hey.
- How did you guess,
80
00:06:23,426 --> 00:06:25,720
- without any clues from the victims?
- No, that's...
81
00:06:25,887 --> 00:06:27,263
Serge and I are the clues.
82
00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:30,558
I mean, he specialises in high energy
weapons. I do geomagnetics.
83
00:06:30,725 --> 00:06:34,270
So calling us means you suspect
an electromagnetic pulse weapon.
84
00:06:34,437 --> 00:06:38,149
If these are the only fatalities,
they must be people susceptible to...
85
00:06:38,316 --> 00:06:41,027
...electronic interference.
- QED pacemakers.
86
00:06:41,194 --> 00:06:43,780
- You're spooky sometimes.
- Now, I need to know,
87
00:06:43,946 --> 00:06:46,157
did some sort of weapon
kill these people?
88
00:06:46,324 --> 00:06:49,035
The power that you would need
to create an EM pulse strong enough...
89
00:06:49,202 --> 00:06:51,329
I mean, that's... that's not a weapon
that I've ever heard of.
90
00:06:51,496 --> 00:06:54,123
- No.
- OK, we're done.
91
00:06:55,374 --> 00:06:58,669
We're not done, sir. There's nothing
on the other side of the equal sign.
92
00:06:58,836 --> 00:07:00,713
- I agree with Joshua...
- Thank you.
93
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,965
Our greatest concern was
this may have been an act of war,
94
00:07:03,132 --> 00:07:06,844
but since it's not, I think we can all
breathe a little easier, can't we?
95
00:07:25,613 --> 00:07:26,989
Look at my hat.
96
00:07:33,454 --> 00:07:35,206
What is it, sweetheart?
97
00:07:43,089 --> 00:07:45,967
It's OK, son. These things
happen all the time...
98
00:07:56,060 --> 00:07:57,353
Let's go, let's go! Come on!
99
00:08:13,870 --> 00:08:14,912
Justin!
100
00:08:18,249 --> 00:08:19,584
You bloody idiot!
101
00:08:25,548 --> 00:08:26,632
Hurry! Run!
102
00:09:08,674 --> 00:09:10,051
Daddy!
103
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:24,565
The skies are empty
over Nelson's Column now,
104
00:09:24,732 --> 00:09:26,984
but a few hours ago,
it was a different story.
105
00:09:27,151 --> 00:09:29,820
Eye witnesses claimed
that the frenzied swarms of birds
106
00:09:29,987 --> 00:09:31,697
were not in fact attacking
people deliberately...
107
00:09:31,864 --> 00:09:34,533
And it's not just this time.
No,no,no,no,no,no.
108
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:37,495
The Fortean Times reported
violent bird swarms
109
00:09:37,662 --> 00:09:40,915
twice last month in Australia and Japan.
110
00:09:41,082 --> 00:09:44,543
...This bizarre and terrifying incident
in London's historic Trafalgar Square.
111
00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:47,296
- Weird.
- Quite strange, also.
112
00:09:47,463 --> 00:09:48,464
Strange, indeed.
113
00:09:53,052 --> 00:09:56,222
- How do birds navigate?
- By sight?
114
00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:59,725
- No, no, no, the long range stuff.
- Magnetic fields.
115
00:09:59,892 --> 00:10:03,229
Little ions in their brains align
with the magnetic field of the Earth.
116
00:10:03,396 --> 00:10:05,606
- Yeah, what she said.
- Right?
117
00:10:06,857 --> 00:10:11,153
Acker. Hit the Net, do a search for,
oh, two years ought to do it.
118
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,365
Any and all, like, weird news,
you know, bizarre animal migrations,
119
00:10:14,532 --> 00:10:17,285
specifically birds.
Whale and dolphin beachings.
120
00:10:17,451 --> 00:10:20,288
Unusual atmospheric phenomenon,
unexplained plane crashes,
121
00:10:20,454 --> 00:10:23,165
- you know, just use your imagination.
- That is a huge search.
122
00:10:23,332 --> 00:10:26,752
You can use our T-1 line to look up
Sailor Moon crap. You're up to this.
123
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:30,214
Danni, Danni, get me the brightest kids
from the Field Theory class
124
00:10:30,381 --> 00:10:32,383
and design a computer model
of an electromagnetic field.
125
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:34,719
- What are we doing?
- I need a 3-D computer model
126
00:10:34,885 --> 00:10:36,846
- of the Earth to lay the field over.
- Whoa, the planet Earth?
127
00:10:37,013 --> 00:10:39,515
Yeah, the planet Earth.
You know, the pretty blue one.
128
00:10:39,682 --> 00:10:43,394
Map out the anomalies that Acker finds
and grunt out the equations.
129
00:10:43,561 --> 00:10:47,315
And... grab those smelly kids
from the Non-Linear Diff class, too.
130
00:10:47,481 --> 00:10:48,983
Listen, Josh, do we even
have time for this?
131
00:10:49,150 --> 00:10:51,402
Do this and I'll sign
your doctorates blindfolded.
132
00:10:51,569 --> 00:10:52,695
- Blindfolded?
- Blindfolded.
133
00:10:52,862 --> 00:10:55,781
Do not pass Go.
Go directly to PhD.
134
00:11:00,703 --> 00:11:04,540
Be wrong. Be wrong.
135
00:12:00,513 --> 00:12:03,307
Tim, I'm coming in a little hot.
Give me some drag, will you?
136
00:12:03,474 --> 00:12:04,767
Roger that.
137
00:12:13,818 --> 00:12:16,654
We are in attitude and ready
for entry interface.
138
00:12:16,821 --> 00:12:18,447
Nice work, Major.
139
00:12:18,614 --> 00:12:20,866
I have the controls now for E.l.
140
00:12:21,033 --> 00:12:23,160
I could take us in.
141
00:12:23,327 --> 00:12:25,663
You could... but you won't.
142
00:12:25,830 --> 00:12:29,667
- I'm ready for this, Bob.
- Oh, no, you're not, Beck.
143
00:12:29,834 --> 00:12:33,629
You're trained, and you're certified.
Doesn't make you the commander.
144
00:12:33,796 --> 00:12:36,173
And the commander lands the bird.
You got to be the youngest person
145
00:12:36,340 --> 00:12:39,343
ever in space. You should say
thank you, be happy. Now.
146
00:12:40,886 --> 00:12:44,473
Endeavour, Houston, at this time
we show you go for reentry.
147
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,017
Houston, Endeavour descending
through 400,000 feet,
148
00:12:47,184 --> 00:12:50,771
- coming up on entry interface.
- Endeavour, this is Flight.
149
00:12:50,938 --> 00:12:53,566
Weren't able to annoy the commander
into letting you bring her in this time?
150
00:12:53,732 --> 00:12:55,860
That's a negative, Stick. I'll
have to be more annoying next time.
151
00:12:56,026 --> 00:12:57,695
Is that even possible?
152
00:12:57,862 --> 00:13:00,489
Endeavour, we see you
in good entry config.
153
00:13:00,656 --> 00:13:01,866
Roger, Houston.
154
00:13:05,870 --> 00:13:06,871
Advise.
155
00:13:07,037 --> 00:13:09,039
I'm seeing those plasma trails now.
156
00:13:09,206 --> 00:13:11,876
- All right, mark 24 and a half.
- So, a minute to air.
157
00:13:12,042 --> 00:13:13,711
I don't believe in be/ts.
158
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,718
Just get me through the Earth's
atmosphere in this spaceship.
159
00:13:22,970 --> 00:13:23,971
Com dropout.
160
00:13:35,441 --> 00:13:38,652
- Start the I Com.
- Let's wait till the...
161
00:13:38,819 --> 00:13:40,488
Com restored.
162
00:13:49,330 --> 00:13:51,081
Quiet!
163
00:13:57,254 --> 00:13:58,255
We are out of position here.
164
00:13:58,422 --> 00:14:00,132
Guidance shows us on energy
and on course.
165
00:14:00,299 --> 00:14:03,469
Well, I've made this approach
213 times in the simulator.
166
00:14:03,636 --> 00:14:05,346
- We're not where we should be.
- Where the hell are we?
167
00:14:07,014 --> 00:14:09,308
Endeavour, guidance is bad.
168
00:14:09,475 --> 00:14:12,102
You are now 1-2-niner miles off course.
169
00:14:12,269 --> 00:14:14,438
Roger, Houston.
We sort of noticed. Is that...?
170
00:14:14,605 --> 00:14:16,565
Los Angeles. That is confirmed.
171
00:14:16,732 --> 00:14:19,026
We are 1-5 thousand feet.
172
00:14:19,193 --> 00:14:21,111
We got maybe two minutes
of glide time left.
173
00:14:21,278 --> 00:14:23,280
Doesn't make sense. The guidance,
the beacons are all wrong?
174
00:14:23,447 --> 00:14:25,324
We're heading straight for downtown.
175
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,743
We're not gonna crash
into Los Angeles.
176
00:14:27,910 --> 00:14:30,329
They're going to hit
downtown LA at 300 knots.
177
00:14:32,081 --> 00:14:35,000
Bob, you know LA?
Because I have an idea.
178
00:14:35,167 --> 00:14:37,127
Houston, those buildings
are getting mighty big.
179
00:14:37,294 --> 00:14:40,589
- Can you clear a freeway?
- OK, thank you.
180
00:14:40,756 --> 00:14:42,132
Come on. Come on.
181
00:14:43,467 --> 00:14:46,262
It's rush hour, Commander,
and it's bumper-to-bumper.
182
00:14:49,306 --> 00:14:51,475
Sir, I have an alternate.
If you turn to heading 1-7-5...
183
00:14:51,642 --> 00:14:53,060
It's Houston's call. Houston?
184
00:14:55,646 --> 00:14:58,440
- Computers are still plotting.
- Come on.
185
00:15:18,294 --> 00:15:19,962
Houston, we are running
out of time here.
186
00:15:20,129 --> 00:15:22,172
- Sir, I have an alternate.
- All right, Beck, what do you got?
187
00:15:22,339 --> 00:15:25,301
Houston, I have coordinates for an
alternate landing site. Can you confirm?
188
00:15:25,467 --> 00:15:27,678
- Endeavour, give them to me.
- I show possible touchdown
189
00:15:27,845 --> 00:15:30,889
at 33-55 north, 1-18-10 west.
190
00:15:33,183 --> 00:15:36,103
- Bill?
- It's theoretically possible.
191
00:15:36,270 --> 00:15:38,022
Endeavour, that is confirmed.
192
00:15:38,188 --> 00:15:42,192
Turn right, heading 1-7-5.
Expect visual contact
193
00:15:42,359 --> 00:15:44,612
with Los Angeles River in five seconds.
194
00:15:49,867 --> 00:15:52,870
No, that will not work, Houston.
We got bridges every few hundred yards.
195
00:15:53,037 --> 00:15:54,663
Our wingspan alone
is going to fold us up.
196
00:15:54,830 --> 00:15:56,457
I've figured the "L" over "D" max.
197
00:15:56,624 --> 00:15:58,167
We can make it
if you can bring us straight in.
198
00:15:58,334 --> 00:15:59,418
We're coming in high and hot.
199
00:16:06,091 --> 00:16:07,384
Two-ninety feet, 320.
200
00:16:07,551 --> 00:16:09,136
- Two-seventy, 3-0-5...
- Arm the gear.
201
00:16:09,303 --> 00:16:11,305
- Gear on.
- Gear down. Now.
202
00:16:11,472 --> 00:16:12,306
Gear in transition.
203
00:16:17,603 --> 00:16:19,938
Two-forty feet, 290.
204
00:16:20,105 --> 00:16:22,232
Hang on.
This isn't going to be subtle.
205
00:16:24,860 --> 00:16:27,488
Two-ten feet, 265.
206
00:16:28,614 --> 00:16:30,407
Get out of the way! Move!
207
00:16:33,994 --> 00:16:34,995
- Derotate.
- Inward.
208
00:16:41,126 --> 00:16:43,462
- 230... 210...
- Speed brakes!
209
00:16:44,922 --> 00:16:46,590
- One hundred per cent.
- We're way too fast.
210
00:16:46,757 --> 00:16:48,050
- Deploy the chute.
- No. We'd snag the bridge.
211
00:16:48,217 --> 00:16:49,218
We'll tear the tail off.
212
00:16:52,763 --> 00:16:53,806
Banking right.
213
00:16:59,812 --> 00:17:01,313
Commander, that next bridge!
214
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,273
Watch it! We're way too high
for that one!
215
00:17:04,066 --> 00:17:06,026
- Suck up the gear!
- Not yet. We'll lose all steering.
216
00:17:06,193 --> 00:17:07,945
We hit, it's over!
217
00:17:11,615 --> 00:17:13,659
And... gear up now!
218
00:17:19,790 --> 00:17:21,625
Lock your harnesses.
It's out of my hands.
219
00:17:38,308 --> 00:17:41,854
- Let's get out of here!
- Run! Let's get out!
220
00:18:25,522 --> 00:18:26,774
Dr. Zimsky?
221
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:28,567
Will you make sure my assistant
has your number, darling?
222
00:18:28,734 --> 00:18:29,693
Sure.
223
00:18:29,860 --> 00:18:32,279
- Dr. Zimsky!
- Hello. No, it's all right.
224
00:18:32,446 --> 00:18:34,239
- Hello.
- Thank you, sir.
225
00:18:34,406 --> 00:18:35,824
- Dr. Zimsky.
- Yes. What's your name?
226
00:18:35,991 --> 00:18:37,284
- Josh Keyes.
- Josh.
227
00:18:37,451 --> 00:18:40,412
No, sir, I don't need you to sign it.
I need you to read that.
228
00:18:40,579 --> 00:18:41,955
I'm sorry, I don't have time.
229
00:18:42,122 --> 00:18:44,291
- I'm late for the White House, please.
- Sir...
230
00:18:44,458 --> 00:18:46,251
I need you to confirm my results, sir.
231
00:18:46,418 --> 00:18:48,629
Young man, do you have
any idea who I am?
232
00:18:48,796 --> 00:18:50,881
Yes, I do, sir. Please read this.
233
00:18:53,050 --> 00:18:55,093
What's it about?
234
00:18:55,260 --> 00:18:57,429
It's the end of the world.
235
00:19:23,539 --> 00:19:26,250
No, I... this is impossible. I'm sorry.
236
00:19:26,750 --> 00:19:30,254
I... I can't have missed this.
You... You have to be wrong.
237
00:19:30,420 --> 00:19:33,048
I mean, look, I'm sure with careful
comparison to my own work,
238
00:19:33,215 --> 00:19:35,884
we'll find that you are mistaken.
No of fence, but...
239
00:19:36,051 --> 00:19:37,845
Well, I mean,
we'll know soon enough.
240
00:19:39,096 --> 00:19:41,932
The bigger effects will start up
any day now.
241
00:20:42,117 --> 00:20:45,621
- Rebecca?
- Only you and Dad ever call me that.
242
00:20:45,787 --> 00:20:47,456
Right, Beck.
243
00:20:47,623 --> 00:20:50,000
So, what brings you to sunny D.C.?
244
00:20:50,167 --> 00:20:52,044
The Board of Review is next week.
245
00:20:54,046 --> 00:20:57,215
Just trying to get a sense
of the mood upstairs.
246
00:20:57,382 --> 00:21:01,094
- How bad is it?
- Your crew crashed the space shuttle.
247
00:21:01,261 --> 00:21:04,014
Now, how good do you
think it could be?
248
00:21:04,181 --> 00:21:06,183
- Sir, this is my life.
- Well...
249
00:21:06,350 --> 00:21:08,894
I was studying for the academy
when I was 13.
250
00:21:09,061 --> 00:21:11,188
It still is and has
always been my life.
251
00:21:11,355 --> 00:21:13,106
It's over.
252
00:21:14,024 --> 00:21:16,276
It's over, Rebecca.
253
00:21:16,443 --> 00:21:18,028
I'm sorry.
254
00:21:20,656 --> 00:21:22,199
- Really?
- It's like the 4th of July.
255
00:21:22,366 --> 00:21:24,159
What the hell's the hurry here?
256
00:21:26,745 --> 00:21:30,666
Rebecca, would you excuse me, please?
Excuse me.
257
00:21:34,211 --> 00:21:38,423
- Purcell.
- Thomas, look...
258
00:21:40,384 --> 00:21:43,387
...it seems that destiny
may have caught up with us.
259
00:22:02,948 --> 00:22:06,243
Did Zimsky really try
to give you his autograph?
260
00:22:09,746 --> 00:22:11,248
Monsieur Zimsky.
261
00:22:11,415 --> 00:22:13,917
Comrade Zimsky. Herr Zimsky.
262
00:22:14,084 --> 00:22:16,003
Superstar.
263
00:22:22,009 --> 00:22:24,261
I think I skipped drunk.
264
00:22:24,428 --> 00:22:26,513
Went right to hangover.
265
00:22:30,767 --> 00:22:32,644
I spoke with the kids.
266
00:22:32,811 --> 00:22:34,938
They don't sleep at night.
267
00:22:35,105 --> 00:22:39,818
They look at the sky, and...
and they think it's pretty.
268
00:22:41,403 --> 00:22:44,573
- Is there any chance you're wrong?
- No. The sky, man.
269
00:22:44,740 --> 00:22:46,283
The sky... I mean,
that's just the beginning.
270
00:22:46,450 --> 00:22:50,287
- That's high-altitude static discharge.
- I know.
271
00:22:50,454 --> 00:22:52,497
Dr. Keyes...
272
00:22:54,541 --> 00:22:56,793
...your presence is
required at the Pentagon.
273
00:22:57,794 --> 00:23:00,714
It's my best buddies. Hey!
274
00:23:00,881 --> 00:23:02,674
Why don't you join us for a drink?
275
00:23:02,841 --> 00:23:05,302
We'd be grateful if you could
join us for a ride, sir.
276
00:23:05,469 --> 00:23:07,137
And if I were to say no?
277
00:23:07,304 --> 00:23:08,597
- Just asking.
- Yeah.
278
00:23:08,764 --> 00:23:12,059
- Well, we have no sense of humour.
- That's true.
279
00:23:14,436 --> 00:23:16,396
And we're armed.
280
00:23:19,733 --> 00:23:21,026
Thank you.
281
00:23:24,237 --> 00:23:26,656
- Dr. Keyes, welcome.
- Thank you.
282
00:23:26,823 --> 00:23:30,077
Dr. Zimsky informs us
that you made a useful contribution
283
00:23:30,243 --> 00:23:33,663
to his investigations, so he wanted you
to assist him with the briefing.
284
00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:35,415
That's very generous of you,
Dr. Zimsky.
285
00:23:35,582 --> 00:23:39,169
Science is a selfless business,
dear boy.
286
00:23:39,336 --> 00:23:43,673
Now, why don't you begin,
and I'll fill in all the difficult bits.
287
00:23:47,010 --> 00:23:49,721
All right, I'll put this
as simply as I can.
288
00:23:51,723 --> 00:23:53,058
Everybody on Earth is dead in a year.
289
00:23:54,935 --> 00:23:56,645
And let me explain why.
290
00:23:56,812 --> 00:24:00,524
Wrapped around the Earth
is an invisible field of energy.
291
00:24:00,690 --> 00:24:03,360
It's made up of
electricity and magnetism,
292
00:24:03,527 --> 00:24:06,822
so it's called, creatively enough,
the electromagnetic field.
293
00:24:06,988 --> 00:24:09,241
It's where we get our magnetic
North Pole and South Pole,
294
00:24:09,407 --> 00:24:12,410
and it protects us
from cosmic radiation.
295
00:24:12,577 --> 00:24:16,206
- So this EM field is our friend.
- But now...?
296
00:24:16,373 --> 00:24:19,292
But now, that field is falling apart.
297
00:24:19,459 --> 00:24:22,212
- Why?
- Why?
298
00:24:24,005 --> 00:24:25,757
This here.
299
00:24:27,634 --> 00:24:30,720
Does somebody have a can
of air freshener?
300
00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:36,309
Quick and dirty.
301
00:24:37,727 --> 00:24:41,356
The thin skin, that's the Earth's crust.
That's what we live on.
302
00:24:41,523 --> 00:24:43,358
It's 30 miles thick.
303
00:24:43,525 --> 00:24:46,486
The meat here, we call it the mantle.
304
00:24:46,653 --> 00:24:51,908
And forgetting all the funky
transitions, it's 2,000 miles thick.
305
00:24:52,576 --> 00:24:56,288
The core, the peach pit
in the centre, that's a tricky one.
306
00:24:56,454 --> 00:24:59,249
There's two parts:
the inner core and the outer core.
307
00:24:59,416 --> 00:25:03,587
Are you following me?
The inner core is...
308
00:25:03,753 --> 00:25:06,756
Well, it's a big solid chunk of iron,
we think.
309
00:25:06,923 --> 00:25:10,260
And that's surrounded by the outer core,
and that is liquid.
310
00:25:10,427 --> 00:25:13,054
Yes, but, most importantly,
311
00:25:13,221 --> 00:25:16,099
this liquid is constantly spinning
in one direction.
312
00:25:16,266 --> 00:25:18,560
So a trillion trillion tons of hot metal
313
00:25:18,727 --> 00:25:22,022
spinning at
a thousand miles an hour, so...
314
00:25:22,189 --> 00:25:23,231
Right, so, Physics 101:
315
00:25:23,398 --> 00:25:25,942
Hot metal moving fast
makes an electromagnetic field.
316
00:25:26,109 --> 00:25:30,363
This spinning liquid outer core
is the engine that drives the EM field.
317
00:25:31,781 --> 00:25:33,617
And that's where we have our problem.
318
00:25:33,783 --> 00:25:35,035
This engine has stalled.
319
00:25:35,202 --> 00:25:39,289
The core of the Earth
has stopped spinning.
320
00:25:40,415 --> 00:25:42,959
How could this have happened?
321
00:25:44,669 --> 00:25:46,338
We don't know.
322
00:25:49,424 --> 00:25:50,550
What's the timeline here?
323
00:25:51,551 --> 00:25:53,428
As the EM field
becomes more and more unstable,
324
00:25:53,595 --> 00:25:55,263
we'll start seeing isolated incidents.
325
00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:58,058
One plane will fall from the sky,
and then two, and then...
326
00:25:58,225 --> 00:26:01,478
...in a few months, anything,
everything electronic will be fried.
327
00:26:01,645 --> 00:26:04,981
Static discharges in the atmosphere
will create superstorms
328
00:26:05,148 --> 00:26:07,567
with hundreds of lightening strikes
per square mile.
329
00:26:07,734 --> 00:26:08,735
After that, it gets bad.
330
00:26:11,321 --> 00:26:14,866
The Earth's EM field
shields us from the solar winds,
331
00:26:15,033 --> 00:26:19,496
which are a lethal blend of radioactive
particles and microwaves.
332
00:26:19,663 --> 00:26:22,999
When that shield collapses,
microwave radiation
333
00:26:23,166 --> 00:26:27,545
will literally cook our planet.
334
00:26:27,712 --> 00:26:29,214
Dr. Zimsky.
335
00:26:30,924 --> 00:26:32,092
This is the sun.
336
00:26:34,052 --> 00:26:37,973
This is the Earth...
without the EM field.
337
00:26:38,139 --> 00:26:39,391
Would you?
338
00:26:49,693 --> 00:26:52,862
Three months, gentlemen,
and we're back in the Stone Age.
339
00:26:53,029 --> 00:26:56,199
A full year, the field collapses...
340
00:26:56,366 --> 00:26:57,701
...and that.
341
00:27:02,872 --> 00:27:03,873
May I?
342
00:27:05,542 --> 00:27:07,961
Feel free to throw up.
I know I did.
343
00:27:09,254 --> 00:27:12,048
So... how do we fix it?
344
00:27:12,215 --> 00:27:14,050
- We can't.
- Not in my vocabulary.
345
00:27:14,217 --> 00:27:15,552
Then you might want
to get one of those
346
00:27:15,719 --> 00:27:18,221
word-a-day calendars, General,
because it's impossible.
347
00:27:18,388 --> 00:27:21,141
The core is the size of Mars. You're
talking about jumpstarting a planet.
348
00:27:21,308 --> 00:27:23,059
This is a superheated hyper-fluid
349
00:27:23,226 --> 00:27:25,812
of molten iron and nickel
at 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit,
350
00:27:25,979 --> 00:27:29,232
2,000 miles down,
1,000 miles thick.
351
00:27:29,399 --> 00:27:34,321
And the deepest we've ever been is...
seven miles with a two-inch drill bit.
352
00:27:34,487 --> 00:27:35,989
If we can go into space,
we certainly...
353
00:27:36,156 --> 00:27:37,657
Well, space is easy. It's empty.
354
00:27:38,366 --> 00:27:42,037
We're talking about millions of pounds
of pressure per square inch.
355
00:27:42,203 --> 00:27:43,997
Even if we somehow
came up with a brilliant plan
356
00:27:44,164 --> 00:27:47,375
to fix the core,
we just can't get there.
357
00:27:48,585 --> 00:27:50,170
Yes, but...
358
00:27:55,759 --> 00:27:57,177
...what if we could?
359
00:28:49,020 --> 00:28:51,147
Hello, Braz.
360
00:28:53,608 --> 00:28:55,402
Why the hell aren't you dead yet?
361
00:28:56,820 --> 00:28:58,113
OK, this way.
362
00:29:00,782 --> 00:29:03,118
Well...
that went better than I expected.
363
00:29:03,284 --> 00:29:05,620
Dr. Brazzelton,
I see you know Dr. Zimsky.
364
00:29:05,787 --> 00:29:09,416
Yeah. Twenty years ago,
he stole my research.
365
00:29:09,582 --> 00:29:13,795
- After that, we kind of lost touch.
- Research that was equally mine.
366
00:29:13,962 --> 00:29:16,840
That's funny, I don't remember a cheque
from any of the patents.
367
00:29:17,006 --> 00:29:21,970
All right, Braz, 20 years in the desert
makes you a prophet and a martyr.
368
00:29:22,137 --> 00:29:24,556
Look, we're here
about your legendary ship.
369
00:29:24,722 --> 00:29:28,601
OK, I'm combining
high-frequency pulse lasers
370
00:29:28,768 --> 00:29:31,396
with resonance tube ultrasonics.
371
00:29:31,563 --> 00:29:34,441
If you've ever seen ultrasonic waves
break up a kidney stone
372
00:29:34,607 --> 00:29:36,943
on the Discovery Channel,
it's the same deal here.
373
00:29:37,110 --> 00:29:39,737
You can put your helmets on now.
374
00:29:40,905 --> 00:29:42,157
Firing.
375
00:30:15,190 --> 00:30:16,733
Yeah.
376
00:30:30,788 --> 00:30:34,083
OK, I'm officially impressed.
377
00:30:41,466 --> 00:30:42,800
Well, all right.
378
00:30:42,967 --> 00:30:46,679
So you've made some progress
with the engine, I will grant you.
379
00:30:48,306 --> 00:30:50,183
Have you begun to think about a shell?
380
00:30:50,350 --> 00:30:53,853
OK, this is Alex.
381
00:30:54,020 --> 00:30:55,522
OK, Alex. Good.
382
00:30:56,564 --> 00:30:58,650
OK, here we have a concrete block,
383
00:30:58,816 --> 00:31:03,238
and in back of that,
we have a two-inch steel plate.
384
00:31:06,366 --> 00:31:08,952
OK. We're ready.
385
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,377
And we are... firing.
386
00:31:37,188 --> 00:31:39,691
- Voilà!
- That's...
387
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,279
- That's impossible.
- I combined the crystals
388
00:31:44,445 --> 00:31:47,949
in a tungsten-titanium matrix
at supercool temperatures,
389
00:31:48,116 --> 00:31:50,660
and that's what did the trick.
390
00:31:50,827 --> 00:31:53,121
The applications for this are just...
391
00:31:53,288 --> 00:31:55,498
What do you call this material?
392
00:31:55,665 --> 00:31:58,334
Well, its real name has 37 syllables.
393
00:31:58,501 --> 00:32:02,297
- I call it Unobtanium.
- Unobtanium?
394
00:32:03,089 --> 00:32:06,384
The Unobtanium will take
the heat and the pressure
395
00:32:06,551 --> 00:32:07,927
and transform it to energy,
396
00:32:08,094 --> 00:32:10,221
which in turn, reinforces
the shell of the ship, you see.
397
00:32:10,388 --> 00:32:13,891
So the hotter and the deeper she gets,
the stronger she gets, theoretically.
398
00:32:14,058 --> 00:32:16,936
- Theoretically?
- Theoretically, yes.
399
00:32:17,103 --> 00:32:20,773
This... is Johnson, don't mind him.
400
00:32:20,940 --> 00:32:24,319
This is the prototype
for the cockpit here.
401
00:32:24,485 --> 00:32:27,780
Excuse me, Dr. Brazzelton, when do you
think the ship will be operational?
402
00:32:27,947 --> 00:32:31,367
When I get my fabrication
methods perfected.
403
00:32:31,534 --> 00:32:35,038
Twelve... ten years, ten years.
404
00:32:35,204 --> 00:32:37,874
What would it take to get
it done in three months?
405
00:32:40,293 --> 00:32:43,087
Fifteen billion dollars. I...
406
00:32:45,798 --> 00:32:47,550
Will you take a cheque?
407
00:32:48,593 --> 00:32:51,179
Why don't you use a credit card?
You get miles.
408
00:32:56,934 --> 00:32:58,269
Shit!
409
00:32:58,436 --> 00:33:01,397
Mr. Finch, this is the FBI.
We have a warrant.
410
00:33:05,735 --> 00:33:07,070
Purge!
411
00:33:10,239 --> 00:33:11,658
Come on, purge!
412
00:33:25,171 --> 00:33:27,131
FBI! Freeze!
413
00:33:37,141 --> 00:33:39,102
OK.
414
00:33:39,268 --> 00:33:44,273
I know these look like computers.
Totally not.
415
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,777
Theodore Donald Finch.
Carnegie Mellon University. MIT.
416
00:33:47,944 --> 00:33:50,113
Worked at Sun, Lucent, RAND Corp.
417
00:33:50,279 --> 00:33:51,823
My handle's "Rat". Call me Rat.
418
00:33:51,989 --> 00:33:54,409
Sixty-three computer fraud indictments.
419
00:33:54,575 --> 00:33:58,955
- Sixty-four.
- Two convictions.
420
00:33:59,122 --> 00:34:01,708
This is strike three, Mr. Finch.
421
00:34:01,874 --> 00:34:03,126
Wait a second.
422
00:34:03,292 --> 00:34:05,545
You guys aren't here
to whack me, are you?
423
00:34:05,712 --> 00:34:09,215
Because I was really, really hoping
to have sex before that happened.
424
00:34:09,382 --> 00:34:14,804
Yeah. I've been told by the FBI,
whose database you crippled last year,
425
00:34:14,971 --> 00:34:18,307
that you're the best in the business.
So you're about to be given a choice.
426
00:34:18,474 --> 00:34:21,644
- What if I say no?
- Excuse me, but...
427
00:34:21,811 --> 00:34:24,689
...is this really the best we could do?
I mean...
428
00:34:24,856 --> 00:34:28,401
- How many languages do you speak?
- Five, actually.
429
00:34:28,568 --> 00:34:32,488
Well, I speak one.
One, zero, one, zero, zero.
430
00:34:32,655 --> 00:34:36,492
With that, I could steal
your money, your secrets,
431
00:34:36,659 --> 00:34:38,995
your sexual fantasies, your whole life,
432
00:34:39,162 --> 00:34:43,458
any country, any place,
anytime I want.
433
00:34:43,624 --> 00:34:45,001
We multitask like you breathe.
434
00:34:46,377 --> 00:34:48,212
I couldn't think
as slow as you if I tried.
435
00:34:51,758 --> 00:34:54,093
- Do you have any idea...?
- OK, hey. Hey!
436
00:34:54,260 --> 00:34:56,929
Let's just, let's give the kid a break.
437
00:34:59,223 --> 00:35:03,394
OK, it's a phone. It's just a phone.
438
00:35:04,312 --> 00:35:09,901
Rat, we got a big problem.
439
00:35:10,067 --> 00:35:13,154
A lot of people are going to die.
We need your help.
440
00:35:13,321 --> 00:35:15,698
- What kind of help?
- Information control.
441
00:35:15,865 --> 00:35:18,409
We need you to control the flow
of information on the Internet.
442
00:35:18,576 --> 00:35:20,912
You're dreaming.
Nobody controls the Net.
443
00:35:21,078 --> 00:35:24,791
Could you... with unlimited resources?
444
00:35:25,666 --> 00:35:27,460
You want me to hack the planet?
445
00:35:29,545 --> 00:35:31,422
He wants me to hack the planet.
446
00:35:37,470 --> 00:35:41,182
You've got free long distance
on that phone... for ever.
447
00:35:42,767 --> 00:35:46,521
OK. If I decide to do this,
448
00:35:46,687 --> 00:35:49,273
I'm going to need
an unlimited supply
449
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,026
of Xena tapes and Hot Pockets.
450
00:35:52,777 --> 00:35:55,822
- Hot Pockets?
- They help me concentrate.
451
00:35:56,781 --> 00:35:58,324
Sounds fair.
452
00:36:07,792 --> 00:36:10,086
Major Childs, they're ready for you.
453
00:36:14,173 --> 00:36:17,718
Major Childs, a clarification:
454
00:36:17,885 --> 00:36:19,220
You and you alone were responsible
455
00:36:19,387 --> 00:36:22,765
for proposing the descent vectors
for the shuttle, correct?
456
00:36:22,932 --> 00:36:24,308
Yes, General.
457
00:36:24,475 --> 00:36:26,727
We have determined
that the Class A landing mishap
458
00:36:26,894 --> 00:36:28,229
experienced by the shuttle Endeavour
459
00:36:28,396 --> 00:36:31,983
was caused by biased navigational data
from the ground
460
00:36:32,149 --> 00:36:34,735
due to a brief geomagnetic disturbance.
461
00:36:34,902 --> 00:36:37,238
Major Childs,
the resourcefulness you showed
462
00:36:37,405 --> 00:36:39,115
in determining
the descent vectors proved
463
00:36:39,282 --> 00:36:42,869
that you have exceptional
navigational skills.
464
00:36:43,035 --> 00:36:44,954
You've brought much credit
upon yourself,
465
00:36:45,121 --> 00:36:47,540
the space programme
and the United States Air Force.
466
00:36:47,707 --> 00:36:49,876
Congratulations, Major.
467
00:36:50,543 --> 00:36:54,630
You are reassigned with Commander
lverson and Flight Director Stickley
468
00:36:54,797 --> 00:36:57,216
to a new mission effective immediately.
469
00:36:57,383 --> 00:37:02,096
Transportation is waiting outside.
Good luck and Godspeed, Major.
470
00:37:28,831 --> 00:37:30,499
Are you sure you want
to wear this tie?
471
00:37:30,666 --> 00:37:32,001
- Why?
- I don't know.
472
00:37:32,168 --> 00:37:33,377
I mean, you look so nervous about it.
473
00:37:33,544 --> 00:37:36,839
- You look so...
- So, how are you holding up?
474
00:37:37,006 --> 00:37:38,841
- Oh, hi.
- I'm good, I'm good.
475
00:37:39,008 --> 00:37:41,677
I'm about to tell a couple hundred
people the world is going to end.
476
00:37:41,844 --> 00:37:43,679
- Well...
- I've had better days.
477
00:37:43,846 --> 00:37:45,681
You look good.
478
00:37:46,515 --> 00:37:47,725
Well, no, you don't look good.
479
00:37:47,892 --> 00:37:49,393
Why did he touch his tie like that?
480
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,313
Thomas, let me speak
with you for a moment.
481
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,148
Listen, wouldn't you rather I did this?
482
00:37:54,315 --> 00:37:55,399
I mean, given my reputation,
I think that...
483
00:37:55,566 --> 00:37:57,526
No. No, Keyes is in
the lead here, Zimsky.
484
00:37:57,693 --> 00:38:01,197
Yes. Thomas, this is the most important
scientific operation in history.
485
00:38:01,364 --> 00:38:04,033
And given my status,
I feel that it's my job to present...
486
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,535
Project Destiny was your job, Zimsky.
487
00:38:06,702 --> 00:38:08,537
And you went way beyond
authorised limits.
488
00:38:08,704 --> 00:38:10,039
And let me tell... let me tell you,
489
00:38:10,206 --> 00:38:14,210
I still, I want to know
if Destiny caused this problem.
490
00:38:14,377 --> 00:38:17,588
It's highly unlikely,
but it may be the solution.
491
00:38:17,755 --> 00:38:20,508
- Now, I have not finished checking...
- Excuse me.
492
00:38:22,134 --> 00:38:26,138
Rebecca... I'm so glad I was wrong.
493
00:38:26,305 --> 00:38:29,141
Right over left...
No, the other left, the other left.
494
00:38:29,308 --> 00:38:30,476
- Gentlemen.
- And then you...
495
00:38:30,643 --> 00:38:31,852
Gentlemen.
496
00:38:32,019 --> 00:38:36,482
Commander lverson, Major Childs,
this is your crew.
497
00:38:36,649 --> 00:38:39,360
- Dr. Brazzelton knows the ship.
- Hello.
498
00:38:39,527 --> 00:38:42,571
- Dr. Zimsky knows the planet.
- Doctor.
499
00:38:42,738 --> 00:38:44,448
Dr. Leveque knows the weapons system.
500
00:38:44,615 --> 00:38:48,577
- Excuse me, ladies first. Hi.
- And Dr. Keyes...
501
00:38:48,744 --> 00:38:50,871
Dr. Keyes built the navigation system.
502
00:38:51,038 --> 00:38:53,165
- So...
- Hi. Rebecca Childs.
503
00:38:53,332 --> 00:38:54,375
Bob lverson.
504
00:38:54,542 --> 00:38:57,294
These are your fellow... fellow what?
505
00:38:57,461 --> 00:38:59,922
- Terranauts?
- Hello.
506
00:39:00,089 --> 00:39:01,340
All this brain power over here
507
00:39:01,507 --> 00:39:03,050
is starting to smell
like burning batteries.
508
00:39:03,217 --> 00:39:05,803
- Y'all better come and join in.
- Yeah.
509
00:39:07,888 --> 00:39:09,640
It's the simplest things
that are the hardest, huh?
510
00:39:09,807 --> 00:39:13,602
Yeah. It's official. I'm the
least-qualified person on this base.
511
00:39:13,769 --> 00:39:16,605
Dr. Keyes, I'm sure the people in charge
have every confidence in you.
512
00:39:16,772 --> 00:39:18,607
Well, the problem is that I'm in charge.
513
00:39:18,774 --> 00:39:21,610
- Yeah, I know.
- Can I help you?
514
00:39:21,777 --> 00:39:23,487
Yes, please.
515
00:39:25,448 --> 00:39:28,117
You're an astronaut,
and you can tie a Windsor?
516
00:39:29,326 --> 00:39:33,789
- Is there anything you can't do?
- Not that I'm aware of.
517
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:37,043
I find that incredibly intimidating.
518
00:39:37,209 --> 00:39:40,129
Yep. Most people do.
519
00:39:40,296 --> 00:39:42,381
Here.
520
00:39:43,215 --> 00:39:45,134
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
521
00:39:47,053 --> 00:39:51,223
Let me introduce our project leader,
Dr. Joshua Keyes.
522
00:39:51,390 --> 00:39:53,934
Thank you, thank you.
523
00:39:54,101 --> 00:39:57,646
Good evening. Good evening.
524
00:39:57,813 --> 00:40:02,985
Wow. This looks like a meeting
for Nobel Prize Winners Anonymous.
525
00:40:04,153 --> 00:40:05,988
I know you're all
the finest in your fields
526
00:40:06,155 --> 00:40:08,365
and have come a long way to be here.
527
00:40:08,532 --> 00:40:12,870
So, I'll outline our programme
over the next three months.
528
00:40:16,582 --> 00:40:19,877
Dr. Brazze/ton will supervise
the building of a ship
529
00:40:20,044 --> 00:40:22,546
which is capable of reaching
the centre of our planet.
530
00:40:22,713 --> 00:40:24,799
Once there, it will deliver
an explosive charge
531
00:40:24,965 --> 00:40:27,384
large enough to restart its core.
532
00:40:29,470 --> 00:40:33,432
Dr. Zimsky will calculate the scale
of the explosion needed.
533
00:40:33,599 --> 00:40:35,935
This is a program I designed
to simulate the effect
534
00:40:36,102 --> 00:40:39,021
of nuclear detonations on the core.
535
00:40:39,188 --> 00:40:42,358
If my calculations are correct,
a tiny nudge in any direction
536
00:40:42,525 --> 00:40:44,276
will force the core back
into its normal flow.
537
00:40:44,443 --> 00:40:45,694
What's a "tiny nudge"
in planetary terms?
538
00:40:45,861 --> 00:40:48,739
- A thousand megatons, give or take?
- Tops. Because any more than that
539
00:40:48,906 --> 00:40:51,325
would create a core instability.
540
00:40:51,492 --> 00:40:54,203
We made a few monster warheads
in the 200-megaton range.
541
00:40:54,370 --> 00:40:57,623
Braz, do you think the ship
can handle five of these babies?
542
00:40:57,790 --> 00:40:58,791
Yeah.
543
00:40:58,958 --> 00:41:01,001
- I can enlarge the ejection pod...
- Forgive me,
544
00:41:01,168 --> 00:41:04,213
but, you know, I know
I'm not the expert here,
545
00:41:04,380 --> 00:41:07,007
but what if the core
is thicker or thinner?
546
00:41:07,174 --> 00:41:09,009
I mean, what if it's not
what you think it is?
547
00:41:09,176 --> 00:41:11,053
Isn't that going to affect
the way the explosions are...?
548
00:41:11,220 --> 00:41:15,141
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
And what if the core is made of cheese?
549
00:41:16,308 --> 00:41:20,437
This is all best guess, Commander.
That's all science is, is best guess.
550
00:41:21,772 --> 00:41:23,732
So my best guess is you don't know.
551
00:41:23,899 --> 00:41:26,861
With luck, irony will break
for the good guys for once,
552
00:41:27,027 --> 00:41:28,863
and the world's biggest weapons
of mass destruction
553
00:41:29,029 --> 00:41:30,656
will help save the world.
554
00:41:30,823 --> 00:41:34,702
The ship will be powered by a small
experimental nuclear reactor.
555
00:41:34,869 --> 00:41:38,414
It will be divided into six compartments
like cars on a train:
556
00:41:38,581 --> 00:41:40,624
the locomotive unit,
navigation compartment,
557
00:41:40,791 --> 00:41:43,836
living quarters, engineering,
bomb compartment
558
00:41:44,003 --> 00:41:46,338
and finally, the weapons-control module.
559
00:41:47,214 --> 00:41:50,467
Up to a 45-degree angle, every
compartment will be held level
560
00:41:50,634 --> 00:41:55,806
by these gyro controlled gimbals.
But if we do breach a section,
561
00:41:55,973 --> 00:41:57,933
bulkhead doors engage automatically,
562
00:41:58,100 --> 00:42:01,270
seal off the section in red, and eject.
563
00:42:01,437 --> 00:42:04,940
- Is ejection really the best option?
- Only option.
564
00:42:05,107 --> 00:42:08,319
Each damaged compartment
degrades the entire hull.
565
00:42:08,485 --> 00:42:10,779
The objective is simple.
566
00:42:10,946 --> 00:42:12,865
The obstacles are gigantic.
567
00:42:13,032 --> 00:42:15,451
We're going to need
all the help in the world,
568
00:42:15,618 --> 00:42:17,953
but if we are to avoid
panic and chaos,
569
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,873
the world at large can never
know what's happening here.
570
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,083
Which is where our friend
Mr. Rat comes in.
571
00:42:23,250 --> 00:42:26,629
It's called Virus-bot. It's a computer
virus that'll seek out files
572
00:42:26,795 --> 00:42:29,506
anywhere on the Web that contain
keywords that we designate
573
00:42:29,673 --> 00:42:34,386
and wipes them out.
This is my kung fu, and it is strong.
574
00:42:34,553 --> 00:42:37,348
Meanwhile, there are
a million puzzles ahead of us,
575
00:42:37,514 --> 00:42:39,433
and we have three months
to solve them.
576
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,685
But we have a committed
and ingenious team.
577
00:42:41,852 --> 00:42:45,231
We have every resource
available to us, and we have the best
578
00:42:45,397 --> 00:42:48,150
of the world's scientific
and technical talents on our side.
579
00:42:48,317 --> 00:42:52,655
With your help we can,
we must... succeed.
580
00:42:56,825 --> 00:42:58,911
- Feedback in the resonance tube.
- Talk to me, gentlemen.
581
00:42:59,078 --> 00:43:02,039
- We are losing structural integrity.
- No, it's not feedback.
582
00:43:02,206 --> 00:43:03,749
It's an impeller malfunction,
I believe.
583
00:43:03,916 --> 00:43:05,417
No, it's not, no. If it were
an impeller malfunction...
584
00:43:05,584 --> 00:43:07,628
For God's sakes, Braz, make the call!
585
00:43:07,795 --> 00:43:09,546
No, I'll make the call.
I should make the call.
586
00:43:09,713 --> 00:43:11,465
Sixty-five knots!
587
00:43:11,632 --> 00:43:13,384
Depth, 8-5 thousand feet.
588
00:43:13,550 --> 00:43:14,677
L0ok,guys...
589
00:43:18,514 --> 00:43:19,682
It's a disaster!
590
00:43:24,812 --> 00:43:27,690
What part of "talk to me"
don't you guys understand?
591
00:43:27,856 --> 00:43:31,318
For the 22nd time in a row,
everyone on Earth is dead.
592
00:43:32,528 --> 00:43:34,238
Let's take a little quiet time,
593
00:43:34,405 --> 00:43:36,365
and you all are going
to try this again.
594
00:43:41,078 --> 00:43:44,790
- Hey
- Hi.
595
00:43:46,792 --> 00:43:48,711
What is this?
596
00:43:48,877 --> 00:43:51,880
Well, it's... I invented it.
597
00:43:52,047 --> 00:43:54,341
It's how you're going to...
going to steer underground.
598
00:43:54,508 --> 00:43:55,926
It's...
599
00:43:56,927 --> 00:43:58,387
...not very good reception.
600
00:43:58,554 --> 00:44:00,180
Well, you're looking
601
00:44:00,347 --> 00:44:03,392
through three feet of lead
at 50 yards away, so...
602
00:44:03,559 --> 00:44:04,810
...it ain't bad.
603
00:44:06,186 --> 00:44:10,899
It's like a CAT scan at a hospital,
but it's... souped-up.
604
00:44:11,942 --> 00:44:13,485
I invented it
for deep earth surveying,
605
00:44:13,652 --> 00:44:15,904
and then the government came in,
bought my research,
606
00:44:16,071 --> 00:44:18,574
paid off my student loan guys
and made me a consultant.
607
00:44:18,741 --> 00:44:22,411
I'm sorry, this is really delicate.
And I have it just the way I want it.
608
00:44:22,578 --> 00:44:26,623
So... excuse me.
609
00:44:27,416 --> 00:44:29,418
Yeah. Then they brought me in
when the pacemakers quit,
610
00:44:29,585 --> 00:44:32,588
and... boom, you know,
I'm Apocalypse Boy.
611
00:44:33,339 --> 00:44:35,090
Apocalypse Boy?
612
00:44:35,257 --> 00:44:38,677
Yeah. I'm having T-shirts made up.
613
00:44:38,844 --> 00:44:40,929
Well, hats sell better.
614
00:44:41,764 --> 00:44:46,101
You know, it's funny, because
that is right where it should be.
615
00:44:46,268 --> 00:44:47,311
Well...
616
00:44:47,478 --> 00:44:48,854
I'm sorry. I'm a little
ragged around the edges.
617
00:44:49,021 --> 00:44:50,522
I'm just trying to get
this thing to focus correctly.
618
00:44:50,689 --> 00:44:53,442
- This is cool, but can I just...?
- Well...
619
00:45:04,495 --> 00:45:07,164
It's better. It's better.
620
00:45:35,150 --> 00:45:37,653
God, I hate this sky.
621
00:46:20,112 --> 00:46:22,906
Crashing one ship
isn't enough for you?
622
00:46:23,073 --> 00:46:24,700
Hey. Practice makes perfect.
623
00:46:26,493 --> 00:46:28,996
You can practice all you like. Doesn't
mean you're ready to sit on that seat.
624
00:46:29,163 --> 00:46:31,874
So you keep reminding me, sir.
625
00:46:33,083 --> 00:46:34,793
You know, I doubt
you're even going to listen to this,
626
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,044
but I'm going to give it a shot.
627
00:46:38,881 --> 00:46:43,093
Being a leader isn't about ability.
It's about responsibility.
628
00:46:44,219 --> 00:46:45,888
- Got it, sir.
- No, you don't, Beck.
629
00:46:46,054 --> 00:46:48,682
I mean, you're not just responsible
for making good decisions.
630
00:46:48,849 --> 00:46:51,226
You have to be responsible
for the bad ones.
631
00:46:52,269 --> 00:46:55,022
You gotta be ready
to make the shitty call.
632
00:46:55,189 --> 00:46:57,399
- What makes you think I'm not?
- Because you're so good.
633
00:46:58,609 --> 00:47:01,570
You haven't hit anything
you couldn't beat.
634
00:47:01,737 --> 00:47:03,989
I mean, hell, you were the one who
figured out how to save the shuttle.
635
00:47:04,156 --> 00:47:07,951
You made me, you made the rest
of NASA just look like an ass.
636
00:47:08,118 --> 00:47:11,413
It's just that
you're used to winning...
637
00:47:14,708 --> 00:47:17,836
...and you're not really
a leader until you've lost.
638
00:47:22,424 --> 00:47:24,426
$20 billion has been spent
developing this system...
639
00:47:24,593 --> 00:47:26,595
Oh, come on, guys,
the chefs at NASA...
640
00:47:26,970 --> 00:47:28,805
I wouldn't call them chefs.
641
00:47:29,806 --> 00:47:32,601
- I want wine! I need wine!
- It's about nutrition.
642
00:47:32,768 --> 00:47:35,187
- It's five days, I think...
- Whoa!
643
00:47:37,773 --> 00:47:40,108
That's high-level static discharge.
644
00:47:42,569 --> 00:47:46,823
I think we should check this out.
This doesn't look so good.
645
00:47:55,123 --> 00:47:56,375
It's a lightning superstorm.
646
00:47:56,542 --> 00:48:00,712
- Popping up all over the world.
- Got 'em. Tracking.
647
00:48:03,924 --> 00:48:05,968
Rome does not look good.
648
00:49:57,204 --> 00:49:59,790
This planet is decaying faster
than we thought.
649
00:49:59,956 --> 00:50:02,668
It's just the start.
Soon there'll be EM spikes
650
00:50:02,834 --> 00:50:05,003
and microwaves will break
through the weak spots and...
651
00:50:05,170 --> 00:50:08,298
All right. Get this ship
in the ground. Now.
652
00:50:40,414 --> 00:50:42,290
Summer in the Pacific.
653
00:50:42,457 --> 00:50:44,251
Yeah, the world is inside out.
654
00:51:06,606 --> 00:51:08,900
I was saving this for later, but...
655
00:51:09,818 --> 00:51:10,819
...this is the time for...
656
00:51:12,571 --> 00:51:14,948
- Josh, do you mind?
- No, not at all. Yeah.
657
00:51:16,158 --> 00:51:17,617
We should have a name
for this baby.
658
00:51:17,784 --> 00:51:19,661
- Oh, she's called Virgil, actually.
- Virgil,
659
00:51:19,828 --> 00:51:21,663
the poet that led our man
into the depths of hell.
660
00:51:21,830 --> 00:51:23,248
- That's it.
- That's appropriate, I guess.
661
00:51:23,415 --> 00:51:25,584
Well, here's to Virgil.
662
00:51:26,501 --> 00:51:28,336
To the planet.
663
00:51:28,503 --> 00:51:29,504
- To Virgil.
- To Virgil.
664
00:51:36,762 --> 00:51:42,058
No flashbulbs, no press,
nobody cheering. It's... weird.
665
00:51:44,144 --> 00:51:45,187
Let's go.
666
00:52:01,787 --> 00:52:04,790
Cabin pressure, TSI, 3.5.
667
00:52:04,956 --> 00:52:06,374
Check.
668
00:52:06,541 --> 00:52:08,752
E CS cabin repress open
669
00:52:09,669 --> 00:52:11,588
And repress VLV closed.
670
00:52:11,755 --> 00:52:14,257
- Check.
- Fluid dump valve.
671
00:52:14,424 --> 00:52:18,345
We are about to begin our journey
into the heart of the cosmos...
672
00:52:18,512 --> 00:52:21,264
- Close.
- ...Into the core of our own planet.
673
00:52:21,431 --> 00:52:23,433
- Where we find therein...
- Check.
674
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:27,229
- ...The secrets of the universe...
- ...3.5 PSI.
675
00:52:27,395 --> 00:52:31,149
- ...The mysteries of time...
- Helen circuit lockup.
676
00:52:31,316 --> 00:52:33,318
- Check.
- ...hope for the future.
677
00:52:33,485 --> 00:52:35,821
- And signal.
- Deep Earth Control, this is Virgil.
678
00:52:35,987 --> 00:52:39,157
- Signal check.
- This is Deep Earth Control.
679
00:52:39,324 --> 00:52:41,952
I have thumbs-up across the board.
680
00:52:42,118 --> 00:52:44,246
You are clear to initiate power-up.
681
00:52:54,005 --> 00:52:55,257
Reactor power confirmed.
682
00:52:55,423 --> 00:52:59,594
At 1,000 rpm, we will
countdown to launch. On your mark.
683
00:52:59,761 --> 00:53:01,596
Pad leader, stand by for launch.
684
00:53:03,974 --> 00:53:04,975
All right, Virgil.
685
00:53:07,269 --> 00:53:11,147
- Mark.
- Gantry count. Ten, nine,
686
00:53:11,314 --> 00:53:16,194
eight, seven, six, five, four...
687
00:53:16,361 --> 00:53:20,198
...three, two, one... launch.
688
00:53:53,815 --> 00:53:57,110
- Five hundred feet.
- Levelling out.
689
00:54:08,872 --> 00:54:11,958
OK, guys, let's swing forward.
690
00:54:17,672 --> 00:54:21,217
- Eight hundred feet.
- Light 'em up, Beck.
691
00:54:25,764 --> 00:54:28,934
- Gyro levelling operational.
- Hull integrity holding.
692
00:55:00,006 --> 00:55:03,426
I'm going to keep her nose
down about 15 degrees and...
693
00:55:04,010 --> 00:55:06,054
Oh, my goodness.
694
00:55:28,910 --> 00:55:29,995
They're singing to us.
695
00:55:30,161 --> 00:55:33,790
Virgil's resonance tubes are powered up,
so they're vibrating subsonically.
696
00:55:33,957 --> 00:55:36,418
Actually, we're singing...
we're singing to them.
697
00:55:49,889 --> 00:55:50,974
What's our depth?
698
00:55:51,141 --> 00:55:53,727
Sixteen hundred feet,
plenty of room on both sides.
699
00:55:53,893 --> 00:55:56,271
- Hull integrity is good.
- You sure?
700
00:55:56,438 --> 00:55:59,232
Let's increase impeller speed. I think
we'll be needing additional control.
701
00:56:03,319 --> 00:56:05,613
- Stick, I'm getting a seismic reading.
- What's happening?
702
00:56:05,780 --> 00:56:08,742
T-phase. Underwater earthquake.
703
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:16,499
Still think the water-launch
was a good idea?
704
00:56:16,666 --> 00:56:19,544
Yes, yes, I chose this location
because the crust is thin here.
705
00:56:19,711 --> 00:56:22,213
The downside is...
there's lots of seismic activity.
706
00:56:22,380 --> 00:56:23,548
Four thousand feet.
707
00:56:26,384 --> 00:56:28,928
You see that rock?
That is not good.
708
00:56:36,728 --> 00:56:39,272
We're losing steering here.
There's some kind of crosscurrent.
709
00:56:41,316 --> 00:56:42,484
Fourteen thousand feet.
710
00:56:56,331 --> 00:56:58,875
OK, guys, fasten your seat belts.
711
00:56:59,042 --> 00:57:00,835
We're turning into the skid.
712
00:57:11,721 --> 00:57:13,348
Eighteen thousand.
713
00:57:14,349 --> 00:57:16,684
- Eighteen-five.
- They're going way too fast.
714
00:57:31,574 --> 00:57:33,368
- Twenty-one thousand feet.
- We hit the wall,
715
00:57:33,535 --> 00:57:34,786
we're rabbits on the highway.
716
00:57:34,953 --> 00:57:36,037
Pressure, pressure,
pressure, pressure.
717
00:57:36,204 --> 00:57:37,413
What do you mean, pressure?
718
00:57:37,580 --> 00:57:38,915
I thought you said this
thing was indestructible!
719
00:57:39,082 --> 00:57:41,376
I said the pressure makes us stronger.
We just don't have enough of it yet.
720
00:57:43,419 --> 00:57:46,089
- We're at 25,000 feet. Pull out, sir.
- Can't.
721
00:57:46,256 --> 00:57:47,549
- What?
- We're locked in.
722
00:57:47,715 --> 00:57:49,342
Go to full throttle.
723
00:57:50,426 --> 00:57:53,388
Standby to engage front
and lateral lasers, please.
724
00:57:54,514 --> 00:57:56,724
But what if we hit bottom
in ten seconds here?
725
00:57:56,891 --> 00:57:59,978
Just give it a couple of more seconds.
The lasers will fire.
726
00:58:04,149 --> 00:58:05,441
No, there's not enough time
for power-up.
727
00:58:09,904 --> 00:58:11,281
Twenty-seven thousand feet.
728
00:58:11,447 --> 00:58:13,199
The lasers will deploy.
729
00:58:15,994 --> 00:58:17,162
Twenty-nine thousand feet.
730
00:58:17,328 --> 00:58:18,997
- Do it!
- And...
731
00:58:20,540 --> 00:58:21,958
- Do it!
- Now.
732
00:59:08,755 --> 00:59:10,131
And we've got a signal.
733
00:59:10,298 --> 00:59:11,424
- All right.
- Yeah!
734
00:59:17,513 --> 00:59:18,514
All right.
735
00:59:20,475 --> 00:59:22,769
Switching on electron spin burst
transmitters.
736
00:59:23,394 --> 00:59:25,188
Plotting through
lowest density material,
737
00:59:25,355 --> 00:59:26,898
reconfiguring every five minutes.
738
00:59:27,065 --> 00:59:30,568
Hull integrity 100 per cent.
Reactor power 100 per cent.
739
00:59:30,735 --> 00:59:33,571
- All green on the bomb compartment.
- Speed is 60 knots.
740
00:59:34,781 --> 00:59:35,782
Hot damn.
741
00:59:35,949 --> 00:59:39,702
All right, we'll be through the crust
in 15 minutes and into the mantle.
742
00:59:39,869 --> 00:59:41,788
Twenty-four hours to the core,
and then assuming we survive...
743
00:59:41,955 --> 00:59:44,123
- Assuming?
- Yes, assuming.
744
00:59:44,290 --> 00:59:47,418
...Another 15 hours to the
inner core-outer core border.
745
00:59:47,961 --> 00:59:52,048
- They're doing well.
- The crust is just rock.
746
00:59:52,215 --> 00:59:54,050
Now, it gets interesting.
747
00:59:54,217 --> 00:59:55,593
Virgil, can we get a status check?
748
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:57,971
We're about to make
the transition into the mantle.
749
01:00:28,501 --> 01:00:29,502
Come on, come on.
750
01:00:44,684 --> 01:00:48,646
Well, exterior pressure
is 800,000 pounds per square inch.
751
01:00:48,813 --> 01:00:51,482
And hull integrity is 100 per cent.
752
01:00:51,649 --> 01:00:55,486
It's as if we we're diving
through the memories of the planet.
753
01:00:55,653 --> 01:00:59,991
But we are about to pass
from memory into madness.
754
01:01:00,158 --> 01:01:03,578
Are you going to be doing
that Carl Sagan narration
755
01:01:03,745 --> 01:01:04,746
all the way to the core?
756
01:01:04,912 --> 01:01:07,290
- I beg your pardon?
- I said...
757
01:01:07,457 --> 01:01:09,584
I have an obligation to my students...
758
01:01:09,751 --> 01:01:11,210
An obligation to make
a book deal perhaps?
759
01:01:11,377 --> 01:01:12,837
Two book deals,
if you'd like to know the truth.
760
01:01:13,004 --> 01:01:15,548
I read that last book.
It wasn't very good.
761
01:01:15,715 --> 01:01:17,342
Oh, really? Really?
When did you learn how to read?
762
01:01:17,508 --> 01:01:18,509
You amaze me.
763
01:01:38,237 --> 01:01:39,447
People.
764
01:01:40,448 --> 01:01:42,950
Doctors Zimsky and Keyes?
765
01:01:45,370 --> 01:01:47,872
You guys are
our resident geophysicists.
766
01:01:48,039 --> 01:01:49,374
What do you make of this?
767
01:01:49,540 --> 01:01:54,003
The mantle is a chemical hodgepodge
of... a variety of elements...
768
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:57,882
Say it with me: "I don't know."
769
01:01:58,049 --> 01:02:02,220
Well, Commander, wise men say,
"When in doubt, you should go around."
770
01:02:02,387 --> 01:02:05,056
No. It's too big. We turn too slow.
771
01:02:05,223 --> 01:02:07,725
Anything that we can't go through
displays as black.
772
01:02:07,892 --> 01:02:11,813
- So, what's... what's static?
- It's nothing.
773
01:02:11,979 --> 01:02:16,317
- What do you mean?
- It's nothing.
774
01:02:18,319 --> 01:02:19,320
It's empty space.
775
01:02:20,321 --> 01:02:21,989
L.-
776
01:02:23,533 --> 01:02:25,368
I never taught the computer how
to read empty space.
777
01:02:25,535 --> 01:02:26,786
And I never taught Virgil
how to fly.
778
01:02:28,121 --> 01:02:29,414
Oh, God!
779
01:02:51,686 --> 01:02:53,479
Oh, no, man!
780
01:03:06,534 --> 01:03:08,286
Oh, dear God.
781
01:03:59,962 --> 01:04:01,297
Serge, you all right?
782
01:04:02,965 --> 01:04:04,467
Yeah.
783
01:04:11,474 --> 01:04:14,519
- Anybody hurt?
- No. You OK?
784
01:04:14,685 --> 01:04:17,146
- Yeah.
- What's that? What is that?
785
01:04:17,313 --> 01:04:20,691
From the cooling system.
Shut that down. Shut it down.
786
01:04:20,858 --> 01:04:23,778
I told you to go around her.
Nobody listens to me.
787
01:04:23,945 --> 01:04:25,112
Where in God's name are we?
788
01:04:25,279 --> 01:04:28,574
Whatever has us jammed up
is inside our lasers. Shut 'em down.
789
01:04:31,619 --> 01:04:33,829
We're not going anywhere.
790
01:04:38,251 --> 01:04:39,919
Powering down.
791
01:04:45,341 --> 01:04:48,135
Josh, is there any other image
you can pull up?
792
01:04:48,302 --> 01:04:52,974
Nope. Whatever it is,
it's also inside our MRI cameras.
793
01:04:54,392 --> 01:04:56,686
- We have to go outside.
- What?
794
01:04:56,852 --> 01:05:00,064
Believe me, I hate to admit it,
but I think he's right.
795
01:05:00,231 --> 01:05:02,149
- I'm coming. I want to collect samples.
- Wait, hang on, hang on.
796
01:05:02,316 --> 01:05:04,277
The first problem is,
the only way out of the ship
797
01:05:04,443 --> 01:05:07,446
is the way we came in,
which is through the impeller outlet...
798
01:05:07,613 --> 01:05:10,157
- Which is still at 5,000 degrees.
- Exactly, I mean...
799
01:05:10,324 --> 01:05:13,828
I'll just flush it with liquid nitrogen
from the cooling system.
800
01:05:13,995 --> 01:05:17,832
Wait. The cooling system that's keeping
us from roasting to death in this ship?
801
01:05:17,999 --> 01:05:21,460
Well, just a small part of it.
802
01:05:24,422 --> 01:05:28,259
Alternatives? Anybody.
803
01:05:43,858 --> 01:05:45,192
Whoa, whoa, that's it.
804
01:05:45,359 --> 01:05:48,863
It's like a giant... giant crystal.
805
01:05:49,030 --> 01:05:51,866
- Where the hell are we?
- Well, the good news is,
806
01:05:52,033 --> 01:05:53,951
it looks like the suits
can take the pressure.
807
01:05:55,953 --> 01:05:57,872
It's completely jammed
the laser assembly.
808
01:05:58,039 --> 01:06:00,374
We just... we got to hope,
if we can cut it loose,
809
01:06:00,541 --> 01:06:01,667
- they're still functional.
- Careful!
810
01:06:02,335 --> 01:06:03,753
OK.
811
01:06:04,712 --> 01:06:05,713
Got it.
812
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:09,425
- Beck, try the lights, will you?
- Lighting up.
813
01:06:13,846 --> 01:06:17,099
- Oh, it's magnificent.
- Oh, my God.
814
01:06:18,059 --> 01:06:20,269
Aladdin's cave.
815
01:06:20,436 --> 01:06:23,731
It's like a crystal Grand Canyon.
816
01:06:38,913 --> 01:06:40,081
I think it's a geode.
817
01:06:40,247 --> 01:06:44,168
But I don't understand
how it could have survived down here.
818
01:06:44,335 --> 01:06:47,171
- Cobalt shell, maybe?
- Well, I mean,
819
01:06:47,338 --> 01:06:49,757
in a magma environment
of 5,000 degrees,
820
01:06:49,924 --> 01:06:52,635
something would have to protect it.
Unbelievable.
821
01:06:52,802 --> 01:06:55,429
- Zimsky.
- Yeah?
822
01:06:55,596 --> 01:06:58,265
We're inside a giant gem bubble,
823
01:06:58,432 --> 01:07:00,976
wrapped in a cobalt cocoon
824
01:07:01,143 --> 01:07:04,021
700 miles below the surface
of the Earth.
825
01:07:06,691 --> 01:07:08,275
Hell of a day.
826
01:07:09,568 --> 01:07:11,404
Yes, it is.
827
01:07:11,570 --> 01:07:12,947
- I'll start cutting.
- OK, Braz.
828
01:07:13,114 --> 01:07:15,199
I'm going to check the hull.
Call me if you need me.
829
01:07:15,366 --> 01:07:16,867
OK.
830
01:07:24,291 --> 01:07:25,751
Oh, no.
831
01:07:26,585 --> 01:07:27,628
- Zimsky!
- Yeah?
832
01:07:27,795 --> 01:07:30,589
- Zimsky...
- Look! It's an amethyst.
833
01:07:31,924 --> 01:07:34,301
Oh, God, we've breached the shell.
834
01:07:50,526 --> 01:07:53,529
Guys, you don't have to be here!
I want you back inside!
835
01:07:53,696 --> 01:07:57,074
Well, I think that means me.
Orders are orders.
836
01:08:04,832 --> 01:08:07,042
Wait, Josh.
837
01:08:07,209 --> 01:08:09,503
The problem is I'm losing oxygen.
838
01:08:09,670 --> 01:08:12,173
- Braz, what can I do?
- Check the feeds for me.
839
01:08:13,340 --> 01:08:15,676
Check the feeds for me, Josh.
840
01:08:19,388 --> 01:08:20,306
Quick!
841
01:08:20,473 --> 01:08:21,640
I'm coming. I'm coming
as fast as I can.
842
01:08:22,349 --> 01:08:25,227
Hey, guys, at this rate we have three
minutes before the lava gets to us.
843
01:08:25,394 --> 01:08:27,188
Come on, guys. Come on.
844
01:08:32,485 --> 01:08:36,822
It's not going to work without oxygen!
We're losing oxygen!
845
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:47,082
I fixed it. Now cut!
846
01:08:47,249 --> 01:08:50,127
That's good. It's working now.
It's working well now!
847
01:08:50,294 --> 01:08:52,004
That's good, Josh!
848
01:09:03,098 --> 01:09:06,227
- Josh's vital signs are dropping.
- What?
849
01:09:11,732 --> 01:09:13,567
Serge!
850
01:09:16,195 --> 01:09:20,825
You're almost there.
You're almost there, Josh.
851
01:09:33,128 --> 01:09:34,588
Josh!
852
01:09:51,313 --> 01:09:54,775
- Joshua!
- OK, guys, connect the oxygen.
853
01:09:54,942 --> 01:09:56,986
- Braz, you got that?
- Yes. Connected!
854
01:09:57,152 --> 01:09:59,154
Good. I got to check these lasers.
855
01:09:59,321 --> 01:10:02,908
OK, Beck, turn 'em over.
856
01:10:03,826 --> 01:10:05,494
Pre-lasers only,
if you don't mind.
857
01:10:05,661 --> 01:10:06,787
Initiating.
858
01:10:09,123 --> 01:10:12,084
This better work.
The tide's really coming in.
859
01:10:13,669 --> 01:10:14,920
Yes!
860
01:10:16,505 --> 01:10:18,549
We got lucky! I think we're going
to swim right out of this one.
861
01:10:20,801 --> 01:10:22,845
Bob?
862
01:10:38,611 --> 01:10:40,279
Bob?
863
01:10:45,993 --> 01:10:47,494
Bob...
864
01:10:50,998 --> 01:10:52,917
Braz, come on, it's over.
865
01:10:53,083 --> 01:10:55,127
OK. OK.
866
01:10:55,294 --> 01:10:57,338
Beck! Beck!
867
01:10:57,504 --> 01:10:59,506
We're coming in.
868
01:11:00,674 --> 01:11:02,509
Initiate start sequence.
869
01:11:02,676 --> 01:11:04,136
Beck!
870
01:11:04,303 --> 01:11:06,972
- Beck, do you hear me?
- Careful.
871
01:11:07,556 --> 01:11:08,974
Start the impellers!
872
01:11:11,435 --> 01:11:13,979
The door, open the door.
873
01:11:14,146 --> 01:11:16,690
Activate bulkhead doors!
874
01:11:16,857 --> 01:11:19,234
Now, Beck!
875
01:11:59,858 --> 01:12:02,194
You OK? You're going to be weak.
You're OK.
876
01:12:02,361 --> 01:12:03,696
Good job, good job. Good man.
877
01:12:03,862 --> 01:12:05,906
- Well done, well done.
- I'm fine. Thank you.
878
01:12:07,032 --> 01:12:11,245
So... we have some good news, and...
879
01:12:11,412 --> 01:12:12,621
...and we have some bad news.
880
01:12:12,788 --> 01:12:14,331
Good news.
I'll take good news.
881
01:12:14,498 --> 01:12:18,377
- All right.
- Well, we're alive and we're moving.
882
01:12:18,544 --> 01:12:20,713
That's... that's good news.
883
01:12:21,964 --> 01:12:23,966
Oh, it is hot in here.
884
01:12:24,133 --> 01:12:26,760
Yeah, that nitro we flushed out of the
cooling system, it's causing things
885
01:12:26,927 --> 01:12:29,805
just to heat up a little. I'm going
to go back and make some adjustments.
886
01:12:29,972 --> 01:12:32,891
- I'll lend you a hand.
- I'm fine.
887
01:12:33,058 --> 01:12:35,269
I'm going to check
your heartbeat, OK?
888
01:12:35,436 --> 01:12:37,730
Thanks, Braz. Appreciate it.
889
01:12:39,356 --> 01:12:42,067
So, that's the bad news?
That's not too bad.
890
01:12:42,234 --> 01:12:45,779
No. Commander lverson died.
891
01:12:45,946 --> 01:12:51,577
But... we're living,
and he would want to...
892
01:12:51,744 --> 01:12:53,078
He'd want us to
complete our mission,
893
01:12:53,245 --> 01:12:56,498
so I think that it's
important that we all...
894
01:12:59,418 --> 01:13:04,214
- It's all right.
- Thank you.
895
01:13:04,381 --> 01:13:06,633
I'm sorry.
896
01:13:09,136 --> 01:13:13,849
Let's give him a second, OK?
He deserves that.
897
01:13:19,438 --> 01:13:22,649
Oh, God, this all just seems
too big, doesn't it?
898
01:13:25,152 --> 01:13:26,528
I think you were attempting
the impossible.
899
01:13:26,695 --> 01:13:29,490
You were trying
to save the world, and...
900
01:13:30,282 --> 01:13:32,117
...it's overwhelming.
901
01:13:33,077 --> 01:13:35,162
I came here to save my wife
and my two children
902
01:13:35,329 --> 01:13:40,000
and... six billion lives...
it's too much.
903
01:13:40,167 --> 01:13:44,254
I just hope I'm smart enough
and brave enough to save three.
904
01:13:45,464 --> 01:13:48,926
You did a nice job, Joshua.
Very nice. Great.
905
01:13:49,093 --> 01:13:51,887
- You'd have done the same thing.
- Well, maybe, maybe.
906
01:14:02,689 --> 01:14:05,943
Hey... who's steering the ship?
907
01:14:06,110 --> 01:14:10,197
- Video screen autopilot.
- I hope he knows the way.
908
01:14:10,364 --> 01:14:12,241
You and me both.
909
01:14:14,493 --> 01:14:19,331
So... you're really
a college professor?
910
01:14:19,498 --> 01:14:24,336
You're not from the CIA or the NSA
or any of those three-letter places?
911
01:14:24,503 --> 01:14:27,714
No. I am a boring college professor.
912
01:14:27,881 --> 01:14:30,884
Wrong place, wrong place.
913
01:14:33,095 --> 01:14:35,472
That was the bravest thing
I've ever seen.
914
01:14:37,057 --> 01:14:39,852
Well, I just...
Listen, the lack of oxygen
915
01:14:40,018 --> 01:14:41,979
kept me from weeping
like a little girl,
916
01:14:42,146 --> 01:14:45,315
as is my custom
in dangerous situations.
917
01:14:53,157 --> 01:14:57,327
Hey, guys, we're close
to the mantle core interface.
918
01:14:57,494 --> 01:14:58,453
Where are you?
919
01:14:58,620 --> 01:15:01,248
Key's in, Dr. Brazzelton.
920
01:15:01,415 --> 01:15:03,458
- Ready.
- We are in the...
921
01:15:03,625 --> 01:15:06,003
- OK, the code...
- ...luxurious, beautiful...
922
01:15:06,170 --> 01:15:08,380
- O-3-1-9-9-5.
- ...weapons control
923
01:15:08,547 --> 01:15:10,132
checking the controls on the nukes.
924
01:15:10,299 --> 01:15:14,178
- This is the birthday of my daughter.
- O-3-1-9-9-5.
925
01:15:14,344 --> 01:15:18,599
- Ready? Three, two and one.
- Yeah.
926
01:15:19,892 --> 01:15:21,310
Thank you.
927
01:15:21,476 --> 01:15:22,477
Green. All green.
928
01:15:22,644 --> 01:15:26,106
Great. So we have
to synchronise the babies now.
929
01:15:30,444 --> 01:15:32,487
Just a second.
930
01:15:33,238 --> 01:15:34,239
There.
931
01:15:34,406 --> 01:15:36,658
All right, now let's
put them to bed.
932
01:15:39,077 --> 01:15:40,996
Zimsky, could you please come up
here for a second?
933
01:15:41,163 --> 01:15:42,289
Yes?
934
01:15:42,456 --> 01:15:44,791
We're not supposed
to go through anything black.
935
01:15:44,958 --> 01:15:47,169
- Yes, so please don't.
- What is this?
936
01:15:49,922 --> 01:15:51,381
They're scattered everywhere.
937
01:15:54,092 --> 01:15:56,553
Oh, my God! They're diamonds!
938
01:15:57,554 --> 01:15:59,014
Great.
939
01:15:59,181 --> 01:16:03,143
You might want to sit down and buckle
up. We're on a collision course here.
940
01:16:09,733 --> 01:16:11,652
Alrighty. Careful.
941
01:16:15,405 --> 01:16:19,743
Guys, we're dodging diamonds
the size of Cape Cod, so bear with me.
942
01:16:19,910 --> 01:16:21,620
Not exactly nimble here.
943
01:16:21,787 --> 01:16:24,331
- Diamonds? I want some.
- Can I help?
944
01:16:50,482 --> 01:16:52,985
OK. It's OK
945
01:16:55,529 --> 01:16:57,990
OK, it looks like
we're in the clear.
946
01:17:04,830 --> 01:17:09,793
Breach! Guys!
Weapons control, get out! Get out now!
947
01:17:20,095 --> 01:17:21,430
Serge!
948
01:17:24,141 --> 01:17:28,228
Serge! What the hell are you doing?
Come on!
949
01:17:28,395 --> 01:17:29,980
My notebook!
950
01:17:34,443 --> 01:17:35,861
Serge!
951
01:17:42,117 --> 01:17:44,286
Take the time reg, Joshua!
952
01:17:44,453 --> 01:17:48,206
- Come on Serge! Come on!
- My notes! You'll need them!
953
01:17:48,373 --> 01:17:51,126
No! God, no, Serge!
954
01:17:51,293 --> 01:17:54,338
- It's OK.
- Serge, come on! No!
955
01:17:54,504 --> 01:17:55,505
Serge!
956
01:17:56,798 --> 01:17:58,884
We need the box!
957
01:18:00,719 --> 01:18:02,346
We can get him!
We can get him!
958
01:18:02,512 --> 01:18:04,848
Hold on, Serge!
959
01:18:19,404 --> 01:18:22,949
Beck! Beck!
Override the ejection system!
960
01:18:24,368 --> 01:18:27,329
Beck, no! One damaged compartment
threatens the whole ship!
961
01:18:28,205 --> 01:18:30,499
Beck! Beck!
962
01:18:31,208 --> 01:18:34,628
Override the ejection system!
963
01:18:40,092 --> 01:18:43,053
Serge, we're right here. We're not
going to forget about you, man.
964
01:18:43,220 --> 01:18:44,763
- Josh, can you hear me?
- Serge! Serge...
965
01:18:44,930 --> 01:18:47,057
Hey, buddy, look in your monitor
right now. Serge, look in your monitor.
966
01:18:47,224 --> 01:18:51,395
- I'm right here. Serge...
- Josh, I can't see you.
967
01:18:51,561 --> 01:18:53,855
Braz is going to override
the doors manually, OK?
968
01:18:54,022 --> 01:18:56,483
We're working on it right now.
Braz, how long?
969
01:18:56,650 --> 01:18:59,569
Going as fast as I can,
fast as I can. OK...
970
01:18:59,736 --> 01:19:01,738
- I'm scared.
- We're going right now.
971
01:19:01,905 --> 01:19:04,366
- Shouldn't be two seconds, all right?
- Josh!
972
01:19:04,533 --> 01:19:07,035
Beck, override the ejection systems, OK?
973
01:19:07,202 --> 01:19:09,663
Damn it. I don't think
Beck can hear me.
974
01:19:09,830 --> 01:19:11,748
Serge, look at me now. Serge!
975
01:19:11,915 --> 01:19:14,459
Serge, we're right here, OK? We're not
going to forget about you, man.
976
01:19:14,626 --> 01:19:18,046
I'm going to get you out of here.
We're working on it, all right?
977
01:19:18,213 --> 01:19:22,634
- Stay with me here. OK?
- I don't know what to do.
978
01:19:22,801 --> 01:19:24,636
You can hear me now?
All right, here I am.
979
01:19:24,803 --> 01:19:27,681
I'm not going to let you go, man.
I'm not going to let you go, all right?
980
01:19:28,932 --> 01:19:31,101
Stay with me here, OK?
981
01:19:31,268 --> 01:19:35,522
I'm going to come to Paris
and we'll go out, all right? After this.
982
01:19:35,689 --> 01:19:37,232
After this is all
said and done, all right?
983
01:19:37,399 --> 01:19:39,025
- Josh!
- Serge.
984
01:19:39,192 --> 01:19:44,030
Serge! Serge! Serge!
985
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:46,199
Serge _/
986
01:20:39,336 --> 01:20:41,087
Did you reset the overrides?
987
01:20:44,216 --> 01:20:46,051
I never pushed them.
988
01:20:46,927 --> 01:20:48,762
You let him die.
989
01:20:51,431 --> 01:20:54,184
Actually, you really want to know?
I killed him twice.
990
01:20:54,351 --> 01:20:56,895
First when I hit the diamond,
and then when I didn't hit the override.
991
01:20:57,062 --> 01:20:59,606
Do you want me to feel any worse
about that than I already do?
992
01:20:59,773 --> 01:21:01,900
- It's not possible.
- Why are you being so smug about that?
993
01:21:02,067 --> 01:21:03,151
Could you have made the decision?
994
01:21:03,318 --> 01:21:04,319
- Yes.
- Could you?
995
01:21:04,486 --> 01:21:06,321
Yes, I could've.
If you would've hit that switch,
996
01:21:06,488 --> 01:21:09,491
I could've got him outta there!
I was yelling for you!
997
01:21:13,662 --> 01:21:15,288
Take it and look at it!
998
01:21:16,706 --> 01:21:18,667
I was two inches from him!
999
01:21:18,833 --> 01:21:22,254
I was two inches, and I told you
to put the door up and you didn't!
1000
01:21:22,420 --> 01:21:26,258
I was screaming for you!
Why didn't you do it?!
1001
01:21:27,634 --> 01:21:31,012
Because I had to make that decision.
Fate or God...
1002
01:21:31,179 --> 01:21:33,974
No! Damn it!
You leave God out of this!
1003
01:21:34,140 --> 01:21:36,309
Serge died so that we could
complete our job.
1004
01:21:36,476 --> 01:21:37,936
Oh, that's right,
the job of saving the world.
1005
01:21:38,103 --> 01:21:42,482
Not the whole world, Josh!
Just three of them.
1006
01:22:33,366 --> 01:22:37,078
Virgil, you are approaching
core interface. Are you good to go?
1007
01:22:37,245 --> 01:22:39,039
Josh?
1008
01:22:39,205 --> 01:22:40,832
Josh, can you hear me?
1009
01:22:43,168 --> 01:22:45,462
Josh, can you hear me?
1010
01:22:49,966 --> 01:22:52,469
Ready as we'll ever be, Stick.
1011
01:22:52,636 --> 01:22:54,387
Dr. Keyes.
1012
01:22:56,056 --> 01:22:57,349
Right here.
1013
01:23:00,644 --> 01:23:03,396
Deep Earth, we are green
and good to go.
1014
01:23:43,687 --> 01:23:45,772
We just got a huge speed jump.
We're at 95 knots...
1015
01:23:46,898 --> 01:23:47,857
...110...
1016
01:23:48,024 --> 01:23:50,485
...13O... 140.
1017
01:23:52,112 --> 01:23:53,780
Our speed's jumped
because the density of the core
1018
01:23:53,947 --> 01:23:56,533
is different than our estimates.
It's lighter than we thought.
1019
01:23:56,700 --> 01:23:58,660
- So much for best guesses.
- I'm fine with this.
1020
01:23:58,827 --> 01:24:02,956
At this rate, we'll, what, hit the
inner core in a little over five hours.
1021
01:24:03,123 --> 01:24:04,958
- I think we finally bought some luck.
- Braz.
1022
01:24:05,125 --> 01:24:06,084
- Yeah.
- Would you please
1023
01:24:06,251 --> 01:24:10,130
punch the new core density into the
equations for the nuclear detonation?
1024
01:24:15,093 --> 01:24:17,011
Please tell me this is enough.
1025
01:24:22,684 --> 01:24:24,811
- Failure.
- You're telling me
1026
01:24:24,978 --> 01:24:26,730
the 1,000 megatons
of nuclear warheads
1027
01:24:26,896 --> 01:24:28,648
we hauled down here
isn't going to cut it?
1028
01:24:29,816 --> 01:24:32,193
No. This core material is too thin.
1029
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:33,695
- What?
- The energy waves from
1030
01:24:33,862 --> 01:24:34,863
the explosion
won't spread far enough.
1031
01:24:35,029 --> 01:24:36,489
They'll just bleed away into nothing.
1032
01:24:42,203 --> 01:24:43,204
That's it.
1033
01:24:43,371 --> 01:24:47,500
- We go home. We go home.
- Home?
1034
01:24:47,667 --> 01:24:51,004
Our commander is dead.
Our weapons specialist is dead.
1035
01:24:51,171 --> 01:24:52,881
Our weapons control systems are gone.
1036
01:24:53,047 --> 01:24:55,592
We don't know whether
we can arm the nuclear devices,
1037
01:24:55,759 --> 01:24:59,262
and our plan to fix the core
no longer works. So... we have failed.
1038
01:24:59,429 --> 01:25:03,308
- We have not failed.
- We have failed, and we go home,
1039
01:25:03,475 --> 01:25:06,060
- and we go to the alternative.
- What alternative?
1040
01:25:06,227 --> 01:25:09,522
- What are you talking about?
- General, this is Dr. Conrad Zimsky.
1041
01:25:09,689 --> 01:25:10,648
Destiny is a go.
1042
01:25:10,815 --> 01:25:13,526
Repeat. Destiny is a go.
1043
01:25:13,693 --> 01:25:14,861
Damn.
1044
01:25:19,365 --> 01:25:22,494
I need to know
everything to do my job.
1045
01:25:22,660 --> 01:25:24,871
You don't have to know this.
1046
01:25:25,038 --> 01:25:29,584
General, it is my job
to ensure the safety of this mission.
1047
01:25:29,751 --> 01:25:33,421
Anything that affects it is my business.
Now what the hell is Destiny?
1048
01:25:33,588 --> 01:25:35,423
It's a device.
1049
01:25:35,590 --> 01:25:41,137
Deep Earth Seismic Trigger Initiative,
DEST-INI. Destiny.
1050
01:25:42,472 --> 01:25:45,558
We had reason to believe that our
enemies were building a weapon
1051
01:25:45,725 --> 01:25:47,977
that could generate
targeted seismic events.
1052
01:25:49,395 --> 01:25:53,274
They would be able to create massive
earthquakes under our territory.
1053
01:25:53,441 --> 01:25:55,109
- No way of telling who did it.
- So?
1054
01:25:55,276 --> 01:25:57,028
So... we built one, too.
1055
01:25:57,904 --> 01:26:01,491
M.A.D. Mutually Assured Destruction.
1056
01:26:01,658 --> 01:26:03,535
A perfect acronym
if ever there was one.
1057
01:26:03,701 --> 01:26:05,411
- Beautiful.
- They built it first.
1058
01:26:05,578 --> 01:26:07,872
I built it better.
I beamed high-powered
1059
01:26:08,039 --> 01:26:10,625
electromagnetic energy waves
down Deep Earth fault lines,
1060
01:26:10,792 --> 01:26:12,919
- and, you know.
- Zimsky, what makes you think
1061
01:26:13,086 --> 01:26:14,838
that Destiny would even touch the core?
1062
01:26:15,004 --> 01:26:17,090
Because it already did.
1063
01:26:19,050 --> 01:26:21,594
This isn't a fluke.
1064
01:26:21,761 --> 01:26:22,804
We killed the planet.
1065
01:26:22,971 --> 01:26:24,681
You keep saying
that the core is too big
1066
01:26:24,848 --> 01:26:26,683
to be affected by anything
short of nukes.
1067
01:26:26,850 --> 01:26:28,601
- So...
- The core is an engine.
1068
01:26:28,768 --> 01:26:31,396
Throw a small wrench into a big engine,
you can still stall it.
1069
01:26:34,440 --> 01:26:35,775
Deep Earth, this is Virgil.
1070
01:26:35,942 --> 01:26:40,154
We require clarification on
the status of Project Destiny.
1071
01:26:40,321 --> 01:26:41,781
Why weren't we notified of this, sir?
1072
01:26:41,948 --> 01:26:43,992
Because you didn't
need to know, Major.
1073
01:26:45,118 --> 01:26:47,996
Now you may not like this.
I may not like it either.
1074
01:26:48,162 --> 01:26:50,623
But it's my job,
and I do it for my country,
1075
01:26:50,790 --> 01:26:53,126
and if we don't develop these devices,
someone worse will
1076
01:26:53,293 --> 01:26:56,462
and they will use them against us.
But you have my word:
1077
01:26:56,629 --> 01:26:59,507
No one in this
administration, no one,
1078
01:26:59,674 --> 01:27:01,968
had any idea
that this could happen.
1079
01:27:02,135 --> 01:27:05,513
So the device that killed
the planet is your backup plan?
1080
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:09,517
An electric shock can stop a heart.
It can certainly restart one.
1081
01:27:09,684 --> 01:27:12,270
Destiny will work. It has to.
1082
01:27:12,437 --> 01:27:14,772
No, it won't work.
If you fire that thing again
1083
01:27:14,939 --> 01:27:17,400
with the core already stalled,
it'll terminally destabilise it.
1084
01:27:17,567 --> 01:27:19,485
Yes, granted, there is
a marginal risk involved,
1085
01:27:19,652 --> 01:27:22,488
but given the circumstances,
I hardly see that as an alternative.
1086
01:27:22,655 --> 01:27:24,908
No, Zimsky, listen to me.
Every volcano on the planet will blow.
1087
01:27:25,074 --> 01:27:27,035
There'll be earthquakes big
enough to rip us to pieces.
1088
01:27:27,201 --> 01:27:28,578
- Dr. Keyes.
- What?
1089
01:27:28,745 --> 01:27:31,456
I'm afraid it's all we've got.
1090
01:27:31,623 --> 01:27:34,876
Now, I have orders from the president.
Come home, Virgil. We go to plan B.
1091
01:27:35,043 --> 01:27:37,629
- Well, what about plan C?
- What? What?
1092
01:27:37,795 --> 01:27:42,508
Well, plan C. We continue on.
We restart the core... somehow.
1093
01:27:42,675 --> 01:27:45,219
We don't do it, you fire Destiny.
1094
01:27:45,386 --> 01:27:46,721
I can't wait for you
to get out of there.
1095
01:27:46,888 --> 01:27:49,974
- Then don't. We fail, fire Destiny.
- Oh, come on! That's ridiculous!
1096
01:27:50,141 --> 01:27:51,851
- What choice do we have, Zimsky?
- Are you kidding me?
1097
01:27:52,018 --> 01:27:54,520
If they set that thing off,
the shock waves will wipe us out!
1098
01:27:54,687 --> 01:27:56,814
We'll be lucky to get back
if we turn back right now!
1099
01:27:56,981 --> 01:27:59,817
Virgil, I'm telling you right now,
we will fire Destiny,
1100
01:27:59,984 --> 01:28:01,986
and we need to do so
as quickly as possible,
1101
01:28:02,153 --> 01:28:05,573
and if you're still there,
you will be destroyed.
1102
01:28:06,407 --> 01:28:07,408
Rebecca ?
1103
01:28:07,575 --> 01:28:09,786
Please don't make me
have to do this.
1104
01:28:15,500 --> 01:28:16,834
Plan C.
1105
01:28:20,505 --> 01:28:21,965
It's your call, Commander.
1106
01:28:27,971 --> 01:28:30,139
Majority decision.
1107
01:28:30,306 --> 01:28:32,809
We're going in.
1108
01:28:32,976 --> 01:28:34,227
I'm sorry, sir.
1109
01:28:37,146 --> 01:28:40,441
Oh, come on, you're a bunch of
suicidal morons! What are you, crazy?
1110
01:28:40,608 --> 01:28:43,111
Plan C?
Restart the core "somehow"?
1111
01:28:43,277 --> 01:28:45,238
Oh, that's a great idea!
That's a brilliant idea!
1112
01:28:45,405 --> 01:28:48,533
I can't believe I'm stuck in this
floating septic tank with you lunatics!
1113
01:28:48,700 --> 01:28:51,035
You may have nothing to lose,
you may have nothing to lose,
1114
01:28:51,202 --> 01:28:53,079
you may have nothing to lose,
but I have my life to lose,
1115
01:28:53,246 --> 01:28:55,415
thank you very much,
while you're up! Now turn it around!
1116
01:28:55,581 --> 01:28:56,958
He told us to go back
and we're going back!
1117
01:28:57,125 --> 01:28:59,002
Why? You want to be a hero?
You want to be a martyr?
1118
01:28:59,168 --> 01:29:00,878
What do you want to be?
You're out of your mind!
1119
01:29:01,045 --> 01:29:02,672
- Thank you! Turn it around!
- No!
1120
01:29:02,839 --> 01:29:03,881
- Zimsky.
- I'm not gonna die like this!
1121
01:29:04,048 --> 01:29:06,676
- I don't wanna die!
- Zimsky, it's not about you!
1122
01:29:06,843 --> 01:29:08,970
- If you wanna die like this...
- ...three people...
1123
01:29:09,137 --> 01:29:10,847
Shut up!
1124
01:29:16,436 --> 01:29:18,229
It's not a stupid ship.
1125
01:29:20,106 --> 01:29:21,399
I had to.
1126
01:29:25,278 --> 01:29:27,155
- It had to happen sometime.
- Yeah.
1127
01:29:35,621 --> 01:29:38,332
- Status! What is that?
- It's the EM monitoring station.
1128
01:29:38,499 --> 01:29:40,460
It's the one that tracks EM pulses.
1129
01:29:41,294 --> 01:29:43,087
God, no.
1130
01:29:46,716 --> 01:29:48,259
- Just talk, Mr. Rat.
- No.
1131
01:29:48,426 --> 01:29:49,927
That's a good boy.
1132
01:29:51,179 --> 01:29:54,640
Remember those invisible microwaves
that Josh was talking about?
1133
01:29:54,807 --> 01:29:57,060
Well, they just found a hole.
1134
01:30:37,683 --> 01:30:39,519
No, it's a parking lot out here...
1135
01:30:54,033 --> 01:30:55,368
Oh, my God.
1136
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:07,130
Jeez!
1137
01:31:29,569 --> 01:31:31,904
And now with this
horrific breaking news,
1138
01:31:32,071 --> 01:31:35,533
we go live to San Francisco,
where Leo Jacks has the story.
1139
01:31:35,700 --> 01:31:40,121
Yes, Claire, it's hard to believe that
half of San Francisco is in ruins today
1140
01:31:40,288 --> 01:31:42,456
following the most devastating
and the most baffling
1141
01:31:42,623 --> 01:31:47,753
event in our nation's history.
It's a horrific situation here.
1142
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:50,381
Thousands are dead.
Many are missing.
1143
01:31:50,548 --> 01:31:53,676
- It's hotels, hospitals.
- Bring up the power grid.
1144
01:31:57,054 --> 01:31:59,056
The whole West Coast is out.
1145
01:32:01,267 --> 01:32:03,269
That means we're going to have
to suck up just about every drop
1146
01:32:03,436 --> 01:32:06,772
of juice east of the Rockies
to fire Destiny.
1147
01:32:06,939 --> 01:32:09,942
Another EM spike, we're not
going to have enough power.
1148
01:32:11,277 --> 01:32:13,613
General, you have got
to give them more time.
1149
01:32:13,779 --> 01:32:16,282
There is no more time.
Colonel, call Destiny.
1150
01:32:16,449 --> 01:32:18,659
I am launching a formal complaint
1151
01:32:18,826 --> 01:32:20,369
against you
with the Department of Defense.
1152
01:32:20,536 --> 01:32:22,538
- Rat to Josh.
- Go, Rat.
1153
01:32:22,705 --> 01:32:26,792
Hey, here's the EM field data
that you're primed for.
1154
01:32:26,959 --> 01:32:29,295
Digging that, Rat.
1155
01:32:29,462 --> 01:32:31,714
Primed for... Primed for...
1156
01:32:31,881 --> 01:32:34,592
Prime numbers...
1157
01:32:34,759 --> 01:32:36,969
One, two, three, five,
1158
01:32:37,136 --> 01:32:39,138
seven, 11, 13, 17...
1159
01:33:03,329 --> 01:33:04,664
Here we go.
1160
01:33:28,020 --> 01:33:29,355
James.
1161
01:33:36,362 --> 01:33:37,697
Yes, sir.
1162
01:33:39,699 --> 01:33:41,450
Yes, sir.
1163
01:33:41,617 --> 01:33:42,868
Here we go, folks.
1164
01:33:43,202 --> 01:33:45,371
OK, this time it's going to work.
1165
01:33:45,538 --> 01:33:47,790
Here you go... beautiful. Yeah.
1166
01:33:47,957 --> 01:33:51,919
Come on, baby. Come on,
Daddy wants to see the sky again.
1167
01:33:54,547 --> 01:33:57,550
OK, OK, OK. Let's try again.
1168
01:33:57,717 --> 01:33:59,135
Your torque is R, cross F...
1169
01:33:59,302 --> 01:34:01,804
- No, your R is too small, Josh.
- Right.
1170
01:34:01,971 --> 01:34:04,890
Wait, hold on.
What are you laughing at?
1171
01:34:05,057 --> 01:34:08,227
No, I mean, it took me and 400
of the world's smartest people
1172
01:34:08,394 --> 01:34:10,604
- to come up with the first plan.
- You want to help?
1173
01:34:10,771 --> 01:34:13,357
No. I want to turn around and go home.
1174
01:34:13,524 --> 01:34:16,777
- It's not going to happen.
- Well, then we're going to die.
1175
01:34:18,070 --> 01:34:19,405
- True.
- All right, look
1176
01:34:19,572 --> 01:34:21,073
- let's start from square one.
- OK.
1177
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:25,244
Let's start from square one.
The bulk modules... depends on density.
1178
01:34:25,411 --> 01:34:30,833
Your torque is R cross F,
but you have to integrate volume...
1179
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:35,046
But here, here... just consider this.
1180
01:34:37,757 --> 01:34:39,050
Now, we got this...
1181
01:34:39,216 --> 01:34:43,179
OK, now, R cross F,
we're putting put in pi. What's V?
1182
01:34:44,889 --> 01:34:47,725
- Oh, for God's sake!
- All right. I'm hitting him again.
1183
01:34:47,892 --> 01:34:50,895
No, no, no!
Braz, no, look, I have a theory.
1184
01:34:51,854 --> 01:34:54,023
- Are you interested?
- Yes. We're interested.
1185
01:34:54,815 --> 01:34:57,068
Then let me smoke a cigarette,
and I'll tell you.
1186
01:35:06,577 --> 01:35:08,329
Oh, thank God.
1187
01:35:09,372 --> 01:35:13,626
All right, fine, look. Look,
we have to use wave interference, OK?
1188
01:35:13,793 --> 01:35:16,587
Because one explosion won't do it.
Think about stones in a pond.
1189
01:35:16,754 --> 01:35:19,799
You drop a large stone into a pond,
you get a big splash,
1190
01:35:19,965 --> 01:35:21,425
and then that's it, it's over.
1191
01:35:21,592 --> 01:35:25,304
But drop a smaller stone,
wait until the ripples weaken
1192
01:35:25,471 --> 01:35:28,099
and drop another and another,
and another,
1193
01:35:28,265 --> 01:35:30,643
and fluid dynamics 101.
1194
01:35:30,810 --> 01:35:34,313
The ripples reinforce each other
in geometric progression.
1195
01:35:34,480 --> 01:35:36,232
The whole bigger than
the sum of the parts.
1196
01:35:36,399 --> 01:35:39,485
Then we'll have five
200 megaton explosions...
1197
01:35:39,652 --> 01:35:41,070
Instead of one big bang.
1198
01:35:41,237 --> 01:35:44,073
So, we hotwire the nukes.
1199
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:45,866
- Yes.
- As one does.
1200
01:35:46,033 --> 01:35:47,034
We seed them through the core
1201
01:35:47,201 --> 01:35:50,079
at locations that have
to be accurate to the inch.
1202
01:35:50,246 --> 01:35:52,998
We detonate them in a sequence
that has to be accurate
1203
01:35:53,165 --> 01:35:54,458
to the millisecond,
1204
01:35:54,625 --> 01:35:58,838
then we outrun the biggest
nuclear shock wave in history.
1205
01:35:59,004 --> 01:36:01,841
- Right.
- Yeah.
1206
01:36:02,675 --> 01:36:04,802
I mean, that should be fairly simple.
1207
01:36:12,435 --> 01:36:15,020
...Should now be
diverting to the central...
1208
01:36:15,187 --> 01:36:18,023
Final calibration
on both transmission systems...
1209
01:36:26,365 --> 01:36:30,119
Cut the... cut the rouge.
The red wire above the circuit.
1210
01:36:30,286 --> 01:36:32,204
- OK. OK.
- No, no, wait, hold it!
1211
01:36:32,371 --> 01:36:33,539
I'm sorry, cut it below.
1212
01:36:37,626 --> 01:36:39,712
I don't know what that means.
1213
01:36:44,049 --> 01:36:45,551
Extensions A, B.
1214
01:36:45,718 --> 01:36:48,053
- Here we go.
- F, check.
1215
01:36:48,220 --> 01:36:49,930
Increase power to reactors
ten through 15.
1216
01:36:50,097 --> 01:36:51,098
We're almost there, folks.
1217
01:37:44,318 --> 01:37:46,111
OK, guys we're closing
on the inner core.
1218
01:37:46,278 --> 01:37:49,031
The nukes are ready.
Timers are on.
1219
01:37:49,573 --> 01:37:52,743
- Great. Let's start dropping them.
- No. The bombs are not built
1220
01:37:52,910 --> 01:37:55,079
for these pressures.
That's why they were in that pod.
1221
01:37:55,246 --> 01:37:56,413
If you send them out now,
1222
01:37:56,580 --> 01:37:58,290
out of that casing,
they'll be crushed instantly.
1223
01:37:58,457 --> 01:38:01,460
- I'm assuming we have a Plan D.
- Plan D is Virgil's compartments.
1224
01:38:01,627 --> 01:38:03,462
We put a nuke in
each section of Virgil,
1225
01:38:03,629 --> 01:38:06,507
and then eject the individual sections
one at a time. They should stay intact
1226
01:38:06,674 --> 01:38:08,634
long enough for the nuke to go off.
1227
01:38:10,261 --> 01:38:11,095
What?
1228
01:38:11,262 --> 01:38:15,057
Virgil's not designed to eject
undamaged compartments.
1229
01:38:15,224 --> 01:38:19,436
OK, these are the ejection mechanisms
holding each compartment in place.
1230
01:38:20,271 --> 01:38:23,816
They're all connected
by one master hydraulic gear.
1231
01:38:23,983 --> 01:38:25,442
Kind of like keys on a key ring.
1232
01:38:25,609 --> 01:38:28,279
What we have to do,
we have to unlock the piston.
1233
01:38:28,445 --> 01:38:31,949
That will release the compartments
so the bombs can be jettisoned.
1234
01:38:32,116 --> 01:38:33,325
Where's the master gear?
1235
01:38:33,492 --> 01:38:36,203
In the crawl space
we used to get out earlier.
1236
01:38:36,370 --> 01:38:37,496
Well, what the hell is it doing there?
1237
01:38:37,663 --> 01:38:38,998
I built the ship
in three damn months.
1238
01:38:39,164 --> 01:38:41,875
I didn't think I'd be intentionally
sabotaging it. I'm sorry!
1239
01:38:42,042 --> 01:38:44,670
- So one of us has to go in there.
- Correct.
1240
01:38:44,837 --> 01:38:47,464
Into the crawl space that has
core fluid at 9,000 degrees.
1241
01:38:47,631 --> 01:38:49,300
- Yes.
- Can you flush it with liquid nitrogen?
1242
01:38:49,466 --> 01:38:52,052
- We don't have enough at this point.
- 9,000 degrees.
1243
01:38:52,219 --> 01:38:54,138
And our suits are built to withstand...?
1244
01:38:54,305 --> 01:38:56,765
- Half that, probably.
- Right. Half that.
1245
01:38:56,932 --> 01:38:58,517
So, what you're saying
is whoever goes into that crawl space
1246
01:38:58,684 --> 01:39:00,477
is not coming back.
1247
01:39:10,738 --> 01:39:13,198
- Together.
- Yes, thank you.
1248
01:39:13,365 --> 01:39:14,533
Wait.
1249
01:39:14,700 --> 01:39:16,076
- On three.
- OK.
1250
01:39:16,243 --> 01:39:19,371
One... two... three.
1251
01:39:31,425 --> 01:39:36,388
Well, I better go and get myself ready.
1252
01:39:37,723 --> 01:39:39,850
No, Braz, wait.
No, Braz. Excuse me.
1253
01:39:40,017 --> 01:39:41,060
Just a moment, may I see that?
1254
01:39:41,226 --> 01:39:42,853
- No.
- May I? May I?
1255
01:39:43,020 --> 01:39:45,230
- Yes.
- Thank you.
1256
01:39:46,148 --> 01:39:49,943
- Magic.
- I mean, Braz...
1257
01:39:51,070 --> 01:39:52,780
...three straws of equal length.
1258
01:39:52,946 --> 01:39:55,783
I mean, this is childish.
Let's do it again.
1259
01:39:55,949 --> 01:39:59,495
No, we will not do it again.
I thought you'd be happy.
1260
01:39:59,662 --> 01:40:02,581
No. Not at the expense
of you making us look like fools.
1261
01:40:02,748 --> 01:40:04,291
He's right. Why do you get dibs
on being the hero?
1262
01:40:04,458 --> 01:40:07,378
- Because it's my damn ship.
- Oh, that makes perfect sense.
1263
01:40:07,544 --> 01:40:11,006
Look, for 20 years, I've done
nothing but Virgil, 20 years.
1264
01:40:11,173 --> 01:40:14,176
Virgil belongs to me,
and I will not let her fail.
1265
01:40:14,343 --> 01:40:19,598
I will not. Now if you want to know
what's worth dying for... this ship.
1266
01:40:19,765 --> 01:40:22,643
Building it instead of imagining it.
1267
01:40:22,810 --> 01:40:26,230
If Virgil needs more blood,
it will be my blood.
1268
01:40:27,940 --> 01:40:29,858
Now I'm going to go and get ready.
1269
01:40:41,870 --> 01:40:42,955
Good to go.
1270
01:40:48,377 --> 01:40:51,630
Beck.Josh.
1271
01:40:54,049 --> 01:40:56,552
It's a hell of a boat you built, Braz.
1272
01:40:56,719 --> 01:41:00,931
I am really proud to
have known you guys.
1273
01:41:01,098 --> 01:41:03,142
Thank you.
1274
01:41:23,704 --> 01:41:27,332
Braz. Edward.
1275
01:41:29,209 --> 01:41:31,211
Yes, Conrad?
1276
01:41:31,378 --> 01:41:34,673
You're right. It is your ship.
1277
01:41:36,508 --> 01:41:38,719
But I wish to God it had been ours.
1278
01:42:02,409 --> 01:42:04,787
The chamber's sealed, Beck.
1279
01:42:04,953 --> 01:42:06,914
Ready.
1280
01:42:10,209 --> 01:42:12,127
Open the hatch.
1281
01:42:50,374 --> 01:42:51,875
Hang on, Braz.
1282
01:42:53,001 --> 01:42:54,086
Come on, hang on.
1283
01:43:48,599 --> 01:43:51,018
Manual override is complete!
Braz, we can still get you out of there.
1284
01:43:53,979 --> 01:43:58,483
No... Start... start the impeller.
1285
01:44:01,570 --> 01:44:02,946
No.
1286
01:44:31,475 --> 01:44:33,810
We got a job to do. Let's do it.
1287
01:44:35,145 --> 01:44:36,396
Let's go.
1288
01:44:38,565 --> 01:44:40,484
Magnetic shielding systems are up.
1289
01:44:40,651 --> 01:44:42,361
Power level's 85 per cent.
1290
01:44:42,527 --> 01:44:45,906
- Increase power to reactor ten.
- All personnel should be clear.
1291
01:44:59,461 --> 01:45:01,296
No, wait!
1292
01:45:01,755 --> 01:45:04,383
Oh, God! Oh, I'm sorry.
1293
01:45:09,846 --> 01:45:11,682
OK, she's down.
1294
01:45:11,848 --> 01:45:13,308
Approaching the first drop-off point.
1295
01:45:13,475 --> 01:45:16,144
We've gotta be accurate
to the second here, boys.
1296
01:45:17,354 --> 01:45:19,773
And drop in three-five seconds.
1297
01:45:19,940 --> 01:45:22,943
And... timer on.
1298
01:45:23,110 --> 01:45:24,611
Pull it.
1299
01:45:29,157 --> 01:45:32,452
Clear... and... ejecting.
1300
01:45:39,835 --> 01:45:42,921
- All right. Initiate firing sequence.
- Sir...
1301
01:45:43,088 --> 01:45:45,173
It's our last shot, Stick.
1302
01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:49,720
- Damn you.
- Damn me? Too late.
1303
01:45:49,886 --> 01:45:53,306
Ten, nine, eight...
1304
01:45:54,766 --> 01:45:56,852
What's that?
1305
01:46:00,939 --> 01:46:02,232
Gotcha!
1306
01:46:02,399 --> 01:46:05,610
...Four, three, two...
1307
01:46:05,777 --> 01:46:07,070
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
1308
01:46:07,237 --> 01:46:09,990
Someone's diverted our energy.
Where the hell's it gone?!
1309
01:46:10,157 --> 01:46:11,366
It looks like...
1310
01:46:13,452 --> 01:46:15,120
Coney Island.
1311
01:46:17,497 --> 01:46:20,584
Your kung fu is not strong.
1312
01:46:20,751 --> 01:46:23,378
Well, how long will it take
to get it back online?
1313
01:46:23,545 --> 01:46:25,297
Well, then get to it!
1314
01:46:33,221 --> 01:46:36,683
Oh, hey, General.
ls there something I can do for you?
1315
01:46:41,563 --> 01:46:43,106
Timer on.
1316
01:46:44,816 --> 01:46:46,485
Clear... ejecting.
1317
01:46:54,034 --> 01:46:55,035
Ejecting.
1318
01:46:58,288 --> 01:47:00,499
Pull it.
1319
01:47:00,665 --> 01:47:01,917
All right.
1320
01:47:02,084 --> 01:47:05,545
Let's go throw our last little
200 megaton stone in the pond.
1321
01:47:05,712 --> 01:47:07,672
I always wanted to make a splash
in nuclear physics.
1322
01:47:07,839 --> 01:47:09,674
You know, that energy propagation stuff
you were talking about...
1323
01:47:09,841 --> 01:47:11,176
- That was high school physics.
- It's not exactly...
1324
01:47:11,343 --> 01:47:13,512
I just took the wavelengths from
the core fluid off the MRI readings.
1325
01:47:13,678 --> 01:47:16,139
- Yeah, and multiplied by 800...
- Six hundred.
1326
01:47:16,973 --> 01:47:21,436
Surely you compensated
for the MRI bias.
1327
01:47:21,603 --> 01:47:22,979
We've gotta reset the timers!
1328
01:47:24,981 --> 01:47:26,566
It's not the timers!
No! It just won't work.
1329
01:47:26,733 --> 01:47:28,485
It's not the timers!
This is not enough!
1330
01:47:28,652 --> 01:47:30,695
- What's not enough?
- The last bomb is not enough.
1331
01:47:30,862 --> 01:47:32,155
- To complete the wave form.
- Yeah. No.
1332
01:47:32,322 --> 01:47:34,157
The last bomb has
to be 30 per cent larger.
1333
01:47:34,324 --> 01:47:36,201
That's six or seven pounds
of plutonium.
1334
01:47:36,368 --> 01:47:38,286
Where are we going to get six
or seven pounds of plutonium?
1335
01:47:46,545 --> 01:47:49,714
Guys, we got hit by an energy flare.
I can't keep us on course.
1336
01:47:49,881 --> 01:47:51,591
Ejecting compartment
in 50 seconds.
1337
01:47:51,758 --> 01:47:55,262
- No, Beck! No, wait! No! Push it!
- You push it!
1338
01:47:55,428 --> 01:47:57,139
Come on, guys, I can't hear you.
1339
01:47:59,266 --> 01:48:01,893
- It's got my shoulder!
- Push!
1340
01:48:02,060 --> 01:48:03,979
Guys! You need to clear!
1341
01:48:04,146 --> 01:48:05,689
Clear the compartment!
What are you doing?
1342
01:48:05,856 --> 01:48:07,357
I think the flare
has knocked the come out.
1343
01:48:07,524 --> 01:48:10,152
- I can't get it, Josh. I can't get it.
- Go...
1344
01:48:10,318 --> 01:48:12,904
- I can't.
- OK.
1345
01:48:13,071 --> 01:48:17,701
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Can you hear me?
1346
01:48:17,868 --> 01:48:19,953
I'm correcting course. Now!
1347
01:48:26,168 --> 01:48:27,586
ZimSky!
1348
01:48:28,670 --> 01:48:29,796
No!
1349
01:48:35,135 --> 01:48:36,636
Push it!
1350
01:48:38,013 --> 01:48:40,849
Ejecting compartment
in ten seconds. Can you hear me?
1351
01:48:41,016 --> 01:48:42,809
Josh, go! Go! Go!
1352
01:48:42,976 --> 01:48:44,561
Get out! Get out!
1353
01:48:44,728 --> 01:48:48,273
Now! Get out! Now! Go!
1354
01:49:00,035 --> 01:49:01,995
Josh.
1355
01:49:02,162 --> 01:49:05,123
For the last bomb,
to make it larger,
1356
01:49:05,290 --> 01:49:08,084
use the fuel rods from the react...
1357
01:49:10,462 --> 01:49:11,463
Ejecting.
1358
01:49:17,302 --> 01:49:20,972
I gotta get... I gotta...
1359
01:49:21,139 --> 01:49:22,474
Beck!
1360
01:49:25,101 --> 01:49:26,686
Beck, can you hear me?
1361
01:49:26,853 --> 01:49:29,606
Beck, if you have any better
ideas, you tell me now.
1362
01:49:29,814 --> 01:49:33,235
We've only have three minutes
to eject this one. Beck!
1363
01:49:34,694 --> 01:49:36,571
Come on, guys. I can't hear you.
1364
01:49:39,241 --> 01:49:40,951
Beck.
1365
01:51:26,348 --> 01:51:28,600
Josh, come on.
1366
01:51:30,769 --> 01:51:32,145
Are you OK?
1367
01:51:34,314 --> 01:51:37,067
- Are you OK?
- Will you take my gloves off?
1368
01:51:37,233 --> 01:51:40,987
- Oh, my God.
- Please.
1369
01:51:41,988 --> 01:51:44,074
I had to build the blast.
1370
01:51:44,240 --> 01:51:46,951
- I'm sorry.
- Hold on, let me get...
1371
01:51:47,118 --> 01:51:49,662
No. Stay here for one second.
1372
01:51:49,829 --> 01:51:52,123
I was trying to call you.
1373
01:51:52,290 --> 01:51:55,752
- I know the come were down.
- Right.
1374
01:51:57,003 --> 01:51:59,714
- I know what you did.
- We don't have enough energy...
1375
01:51:59,881 --> 01:52:02,133
- I know.
- ...to get back.
1376
01:52:02,300 --> 01:52:03,635
You did good.
1377
01:52:03,802 --> 01:52:06,304
I would've done the same thing.
1378
01:52:07,972 --> 01:52:09,682
Where's Zimsky?
1379
01:52:11,893 --> 01:52:13,686
Come here.
1380
01:52:15,105 --> 01:52:16,398
You did good.
1381
01:52:19,150 --> 01:52:20,819
You did good.
1382
01:52:33,998 --> 01:52:36,501
One minute to the first detonation.
1383
01:52:36,668 --> 01:52:39,337
And 12 until the blast hits us.
1384
01:52:43,967 --> 01:52:46,761
I was hoping we'd
suffocate to death first.
1385
01:53:21,504 --> 01:53:22,881
Beck.
1386
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:26,009
Beck, Beck.
1387
01:53:27,218 --> 01:53:30,430
What could you do if I got you enough
power to fire the impeller?
1388
01:53:30,597 --> 01:53:31,931
Maybe not the laser, but the impeller.
1389
01:53:32,098 --> 01:53:34,976
- What? From where?
- The heat of the core.
1390
01:53:35,143 --> 01:53:39,272
It's 9,000 degrees.
Unobtanium converts heat to energy.
1391
01:53:39,439 --> 01:53:42,609
So this whole damn ship
is like a big old solar panel.
1392
01:53:42,775 --> 01:53:44,486
Come on, I need your help.
1393
01:53:51,951 --> 01:53:55,914
- Number two's going!
- Come on, come on.
1394
01:54:12,639 --> 01:54:17,310
For here in the
great infinite unknowable...
1395
01:54:17,477 --> 01:54:21,898
...man can come to know the most
important thing of all:
1396
01:54:22,065 --> 01:54:24,943
Himself.
1397
01:54:25,109 --> 01:54:26,861
He can understand...
1398
01:54:29,364 --> 01:54:31,157
What the fuck am I doing?
1399
01:55:08,361 --> 01:55:11,656
- We've got full rotation!
- It's turning!
1400
01:55:20,456 --> 01:55:22,083
All right!
1401
01:55:30,550 --> 01:55:32,385
Come on, Beck, where is it?
1402
01:55:34,012 --> 01:55:37,348
Come on. Come on, hurry up.
Is that the last one?
1403
01:55:37,515 --> 01:55:39,767
Yeah.
1404
01:55:47,150 --> 01:55:49,986
Give it a couple seconds.
1405
01:55:58,536 --> 01:56:00,705
It worked!
1406
01:56:13,551 --> 01:56:16,054
Get ready to pull a few Gs.
1407
01:56:34,113 --> 01:56:36,783
- Four hundred twenty knots.
- Now, this is more like it.
1408
01:56:36,949 --> 01:56:37,825
Four-forty.
1409
01:56:45,458 --> 01:56:47,835
Mr. Rat, what's the
centre of this quake?
1410
01:56:48,002 --> 01:56:50,338
It's everywhere!
It's one giant shock wave!
1411
01:56:50,505 --> 01:56:52,382
The planet's healing itself.
1412
01:56:55,259 --> 01:56:58,429
At this speed, we're going to be home
in a third of the time.
1413
01:57:30,044 --> 01:57:32,213
As long as we can surf
these magma flows, we'll be OK.
1414
01:57:32,380 --> 01:57:34,674
Let's just pray we don't run
into any dead ends,
1415
01:57:34,841 --> 01:57:37,593
or we're going to miss those lasers.
1416
01:57:40,304 --> 01:57:42,974
OK, navigator, which way?
1417
01:57:43,141 --> 01:57:44,559
We've got greater
flow density on the left.
1418
01:57:44,726 --> 01:57:46,310
Go with the flow.
1419
01:58:08,708 --> 01:58:10,543
Bill, where are they headed?
1420
01:58:10,710 --> 01:58:11,836
Looks like she found
a space between
1421
01:58:12,003 --> 01:58:15,047
some tectonic plates
somewhere near Hawaii.
1422
01:58:20,720 --> 01:58:22,013
- Josh...
- Yeah?
1423
01:58:22,180 --> 01:58:23,264
They're closing in on us too fast.
1424
01:58:23,431 --> 01:58:26,017
- I don't know if I can...
- Beck, you got it.
1425
01:58:43,910 --> 01:58:46,245
We lost them, Stick, and I...
1426
01:59:08,476 --> 01:59:09,811
Where'd our power go?
1427
01:59:11,229 --> 01:59:13,773
We were powered by the heat.
1428
01:59:13,940 --> 01:59:15,608
It's stone cold down here.
1429
01:59:18,152 --> 01:59:19,779
Well...
1430
01:59:19,946 --> 01:59:21,906
Look on the bright side.
1431
01:59:23,658 --> 01:59:25,785
At least we're not
going to boil to death.
1432
01:59:25,952 --> 01:59:27,203
You always look on the bright side?
1433
01:59:27,370 --> 01:59:29,372
Always.
1434
01:59:30,957 --> 01:59:32,291
OK, let's assess:
1435
01:59:35,294 --> 01:59:39,757
We've got no communications,
we're probably 800 feet down,
1436
01:59:39,924 --> 01:59:41,843
but we might as well be 800 miles.
1437
01:59:42,844 --> 01:59:44,637
We're in an Unobtanium
1438
01:59:44,804 --> 01:59:47,348
cigar tube with the sonar
signature of a rock.
1439
01:59:47,515 --> 01:59:50,685
We've got just enough power
to make the ultrasonics burp,
1440
01:59:50,852 --> 01:59:54,230
but no one's listening
on those frequencies anyway, and...
1441
01:59:55,231 --> 01:59:56,899
...nobody even knows we're alive.
1442
02:00:02,655 --> 02:00:04,448
OK.
1443
02:00:04,991 --> 02:00:07,201
Give me a minute on this one.
1444
02:00:23,968 --> 02:00:25,428
This is hopeless.
1445
02:00:25,595 --> 02:00:27,972
Come on, General, we've got to be
getting close. We can't...
1446
02:00:28,139 --> 02:00:31,893
Mr. Rat, even if they were still alive,
there's no way they could contact us.
1447
02:00:33,311 --> 02:00:35,021
Bridge.
1448
02:00:35,730 --> 02:00:37,815
Skipper, Combat relays that our
sub has something on the sonar.
1449
02:00:37,982 --> 02:00:40,401
- Where do they think?
- Bill, put it up on the hydrophone.
1450
02:00:45,990 --> 02:00:46,991
Whales, sir.
1451
02:00:47,158 --> 02:00:50,578
They're a long way off their usual path,
but that's not uncommon since that...
1452
02:00:50,745 --> 02:00:52,830
What are they calling it?
Orbital wobble?
1453
02:00:52,997 --> 02:00:55,207
Yeah, that's what they call it.
1454
02:00:55,374 --> 02:00:59,462
Well, thank you very much, Captain,
but I think we're done here.
1455
02:00:59,629 --> 02:01:01,005
General.
1456
02:01:03,841 --> 02:01:08,012
J.O., this is the captain.
Stand down from SAR Operations.
1457
02:01:39,543 --> 02:01:42,380
It's whales! It's whales!
1458
02:01:42,546 --> 02:01:46,384
Hey! General! Stick!
1459
02:01:46,550 --> 02:01:49,428
It's whales! The ultrasonics!
1460
02:01:49,595 --> 02:01:53,307
They're singing to them!
We gotta find the whales!
1461
02:02:11,617 --> 02:02:14,161
Alpha X Ray, this is
November Echo six one zero.
1462
02:02:14,328 --> 02:02:17,832
I'm changing...
Hold on, I'm seeing those whales now.
1463
02:02:17,999 --> 02:02:20,835
Whoa! OK, ball's in the water.
1464
02:02:21,002 --> 02:02:23,629
This is neat. Those whales
are circling something.
1465
02:02:23,796 --> 02:02:26,257
Hold on, hold on.
We have a strong echo here.
1466
02:02:26,424 --> 02:02:28,926
Depth, 800 feet.
There's something down there.
1467
02:02:29,093 --> 02:02:31,012
There's definitely something down there.
1468
02:03:14,638 --> 02:03:17,141
I told you pulsing the
ultrasonics would work.
1469
02:03:17,308 --> 02:03:19,518
Do you ever get tired
of being right?
1470
02:03:20,519 --> 02:03:22,229
Yes.
1471
02:03:22,980 --> 02:03:25,149
So, what's next for you?
1472
02:03:25,316 --> 02:03:27,193
A shower.
1473
02:03:28,986 --> 02:03:32,156
Then back to NASA, I guess.
1474
02:03:32,323 --> 02:03:33,783
You?
1475
02:03:33,949 --> 02:03:37,036
Deep-dish pepperoni pizza,
green peppers, onions,
1476
02:03:37,203 --> 02:03:42,875
extra mushrooms, then a shower
and then back to the classroom.
1477
02:03:43,793 --> 02:03:46,170
NASA could use
a few good men, you know.
1478
02:03:48,839 --> 02:03:53,427
Yeah. Unfortunately, so could my
freshmen geophysics students.
1479
02:03:58,307 --> 02:04:02,144
You know what makes me
really, really angry?
1480
02:04:02,311 --> 02:04:05,815
Bob, Serge, Braz, Zimsky...
1481
02:04:05,981 --> 02:04:08,984
No one's going to ever know
what they did or why they died.
1482
02:04:12,113 --> 02:04:16,450
Unless... it all got out somehow.
1483
02:04:19,537 --> 02:04:23,666
- That's unthinkable.
- Yeah.
1484
02:04:59,493 --> 02:05:01,620
OK, here we go.
1485
02:05:10,754 --> 02:05:12,339
Sweet.
1486
02:05:25,436 --> 02:05:28,355
It is now emerging that
the world owes its survival
1487
02:05:28,522 --> 02:05:31,692
to the heroism of six
remarkable individuals:
1488
02:05:31,859 --> 02:05:33,777
- Shuttle Commander Robert Iverson...
- This extraordinary craft...
1489
02:05:33,944 --> 02:05:36,906
- ...French Scientist, Dr. Serge...
- ...was captained by NASA astronaut
1490
02:05:37,072 --> 02:05:39,366
- Dr. Bob Iverson.
- Edward Brazze/ton is a name...
1491
02:05:39,533 --> 02:05:42,286
...Dr. Conrad Zimsky
will be best remembered...
1492
02:05:42,453 --> 02:05:45,456
On Capitol Hill today,
everyone's asking the same question:
1493
02:05:45,623 --> 02:05:48,209
What is Project Destiny?
1494
02:05:51,128 --> 02:05:53,339
Destiny, meet world.
1495
02:05:53,505 --> 02:05:56,008
World, meet Destiny.
1496
02:05:57,134 --> 02:06:00,304
Dr. Brazze/ton, Dr. Zimsky...
1497
02:14:56,590 --> 02:14:57,424
