1
00:00:55,388 --> 00:00:57,958
Thats Orion right there,
2
00:00:58,390 --> 00:00:59,789
the triangle.
3
00:01:00,051 --> 00:01:02,736
And that is Cassiopia.
4
00:01:03,478 --> 00:01:05,544
- Cassiopia?
- Yeah
5
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,728
Who was she?
6
00:01:08,335 --> 00:01:09,806
No idea.
7
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:13,073
Thats the big dipper,
8
00:01:14,099 --> 00:01:18,061
and here we have another celestial body.
9
00:01:20,391 --> 00:01:22,041
What do you think you're doing?
10
00:01:22,066 --> 00:01:23,865
I'm about to go
11
00:01:24,133 --> 00:01:25,667
where no man
12
00:01:25,692 --> 00:01:26,940
has gone before.
13
00:01:37,231 --> 00:01:38,650
It's a satellite.
14
00:01:39,409 --> 00:01:41,474
This is so sick, look at that thing.
15
00:01:41,798 --> 00:01:43,461
I don't know Jeff, maybe...
16
00:01:43,652 --> 00:01:47,908
maybe we should leave it alone. It
could be radioactive and stuff.
17
00:02:04,701 --> 00:02:07,833
- Should we tell Marti?
- Are you kidding me? No.
18
00:02:07,858 --> 00:02:10,405
The old fart would just grab
it and take all the glory.
19
00:02:21,353 --> 00:02:22,627
It's gone.
20
00:02:23,642 --> 00:02:24,645
Great,
21
00:02:24,670 --> 00:02:26,358
Mandrake's going to shit a brick.
22
00:02:34,916 --> 00:02:36,744
Bright light, big city,
23
00:02:36,769 --> 00:02:38,111
excitement.
24
00:02:38,136 --> 00:02:40,021
Piedmont, Utah,
25
00:02:40,046 --> 00:02:42,439
the armpit of nowhere.
26
00:02:42,464 --> 00:02:44,182
Awful quiet down there.
27
00:02:46,392 --> 00:02:47,804
What are those?
28
00:02:50,929 --> 00:02:52,212
Buzzards.
29
00:02:58,706 --> 00:03:00,190
This is Caper One.
30
00:03:00,215 --> 00:03:03,549
Project Scoop appears to have been
moved. I'm following the signal.
31
00:03:03,574 --> 00:03:04,899
Roger that Caper One.
32
00:03:18,687 --> 00:03:20,805
No signs yet of any life,
33
00:03:20,830 --> 00:03:23,745
except for this joker staring
at us in his pick-up.
34
00:03:28,166 --> 00:03:29,882
Rounding the corner.
35
00:03:31,410 --> 00:03:33,238
Hold on.
36
00:03:36,666 --> 00:03:38,494
Looks like a war zone.
37
00:03:39,177 --> 00:03:41,024
Tell me I'm not seeing this.
38
00:03:41,363 --> 00:03:43,296
This town is full of bodies.
39
00:03:49,674 --> 00:03:52,032
Over here, over here, help me.
40
00:03:52,057 --> 00:03:54,885
Help me man, you've got to help me.
41
00:04:02,521 --> 00:04:05,244
Oh god no. No, no, no no!
42
00:04:08,036 --> 00:04:09,283
No!
43
00:04:09,926 --> 00:04:13,094
No, no, no, no, nooo!
44
00:04:17,677 --> 00:04:18,835
Where was this again?
45
00:04:18,860 --> 00:04:20,904
Piedmont, Utah. It's an old mining town.
46
00:04:20,929 --> 00:04:24,022
There's a state park nearby.
It's remote, very isolated.
47
00:04:24,047 --> 00:04:25,828
We seem to have caught a break there.
48
00:04:25,853 --> 00:04:28,535
You'll forgive me if I don't
share your sense of gratitude.
49
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,862
Was it the Korean's?
50
00:04:29,887 --> 00:04:31,260
I think thats unlikely.
51
00:04:31,285 --> 00:04:32,360
Who then?
52
00:04:32,385 --> 00:04:33,441
We don't know.
53
00:04:33,466 --> 00:04:35,164
We're quarantiening the area.
54
00:04:35,189 --> 00:04:36,850
This road is closed ma'am.
55
00:04:36,875 --> 00:04:40,727
You need to detour back
around using state road 46.
56
00:04:40,752 --> 00:04:43,726
I'll also have a predator on an
over-flight in the next couple of hours.
57
00:04:43,751 --> 00:04:44,943
I'll know more then.
58
00:04:45,645 --> 00:04:47,391
I'll notify the department
of Homeland Security.
59
00:04:47,415 --> 00:04:49,345
Let me handle that.
60
00:04:50,318 --> 00:04:51,730
And the White House?
61
00:04:55,257 --> 00:04:56,531
Chuck.
62
00:04:57,287 --> 00:04:58,600
I'll take care of both.
63
00:04:58,625 --> 00:05:01,530
I'm also required to initiate
the Wildfire Protocol
64
00:05:01,555 --> 00:05:04,057
Does Dr Stone still have the team?
65
00:05:04,082 --> 00:05:07,099
Untill they pry his cold
dead fingers off the door.
66
00:05:07,462 --> 00:05:11,022
I don't suppose there's
any way round him?
67
00:05:15,545 --> 00:05:17,916
I can't watch him 24 hours a day.
68
00:05:17,941 --> 00:05:20,301
Do you even know where Lance is?
69
00:05:20,326 --> 00:05:22,418
Are you questioning my parenting?
70
00:05:22,453 --> 00:05:24,380
How long have you been
off your meds? Oh!
71
00:05:24,792 --> 00:05:26,954
The great dr. Stone lays down the law.
72
00:05:26,989 --> 00:05:28,898
Nations tremble and
nubile graduate students
73
00:05:28,933 --> 00:05:31,525
spread their legs. Look,
you're not safe, all right?
74
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,333
You're not safe to
yourself or to our son.
75
00:05:34,368 --> 00:05:35,810
Are you threatening me?
76
00:05:35,845 --> 00:05:38,653
Don't you try to bully me or I
will drag you back into court.
77
00:05:45,424 --> 00:05:48,197
- Yes.
- Dr. Jeremy Stone.
78
00:05:49,272 --> 00:05:50,629
I'm dr. Stone.
79
00:05:50,654 --> 00:05:51,853
There's been a Wildfire alert.
80
00:05:51,877 --> 00:05:52,978
My orders are to gather you
81
00:05:53,003 --> 00:05:55,379
and the rest of your team right away.
82
00:06:04,210 --> 00:06:05,823
Lisa.
83
00:06:06,164 --> 00:06:08,108
Please get yourself checked in.
84
00:06:11,053 --> 00:06:12,997
Dad?
85
00:06:16,783 --> 00:06:19,341
- Late night?
- It's mom's house. Mom's rules.
86
00:06:19,376 --> 00:06:20,517
Not anymore.
87
00:06:20,542 --> 00:06:22,900
Look, I came by to tell you
that I made arrangements.
88
00:06:22,925 --> 00:06:24,471
You're gonna spend the
rest of the month in L.A.
89
00:06:24,495 --> 00:06:26,650
with my sister. She's
gonna look after you.
90
00:06:26,824 --> 00:06:27,947
I can look after myself.
91
00:06:28,016 --> 00:06:29,513
Oh, clearly. Look, Lance.
92
00:06:29,575 --> 00:06:31,256
We're not gonna argue
about this, all right?
93
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:32,536
It's a done deal. You should...
94
00:06:32,616 --> 00:06:35,146
- You should go pack.
- Mom's the one who needs help.
95
00:06:35,936 --> 00:06:37,416
You mother has all the help she needs
96
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,882
if she'll just take it.
97
00:06:39,577 --> 00:06:41,273
Yeah, that just lets you
off the hook, doesn't it?
98
00:06:41,297 --> 00:06:42,616
Sir?
99
00:06:45,032 --> 00:06:46,477
You can't wait to get out of here?
100
00:06:46,512 --> 00:06:48,321
- I have to leave.
- Yeah.
101
00:06:48,391 --> 00:06:50,930
I'm sure you have to go wherever
it is that you're going.
102
00:06:51,328 --> 00:06:53,314
If it were anything else, you know that
...Yeah, I know.
103
00:06:53,338 --> 00:06:55,164
It... It's work. It's important.
104
00:07:04,065 --> 00:07:07,244
NASA had a satellite fail last
night over the Utah desert,
105
00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:09,375
and, uh, the Army sent
in a retrieval team.
106
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:10,643
I just wanted to give you a heads up
107
00:07:10,667 --> 00:07:12,307
before all the phone calls start
108
00:07:12,332 --> 00:07:15,111
about the black helicopters
and little green men.
109
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:17,498
Why is the Army cooking up for NASA?
110
00:07:17,608 --> 00:07:20,410
I was told one of the instruments on
board contained radio-active material.
111
00:07:20,434 --> 00:07:23,458
I guess they're just
playing it safe, Ed.
112
00:07:24,662 --> 00:07:26,491
All right.
113
00:07:31,142 --> 00:07:32,619
Approaching Piedmont.
114
00:07:32,654 --> 00:07:34,598
Preparing to make my
initial surveillance pass.
115
00:07:34,633 --> 00:07:36,075
Go ahead.
116
00:07:36,110 --> 00:07:40,646
Commencing thermal imaging
and night vision recording.
117
00:07:45,107 --> 00:07:46,853
What the hell is that?
118
00:07:54,071 --> 00:07:56,379
Are those bodies?
119
00:07:56,584 --> 00:07:57,899
Holy Christ in Heaven.
120
00:07:59,735 --> 00:08:01,008
I'm moving to Northcom.
121
00:08:01,033 --> 00:08:03,625
Confine everyone to
base and lock it down.
122
00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:04,824
I want you to stay here in D.C.
123
00:08:04,848 --> 00:08:07,246
In case Beeter needs managing.
124
00:08:07,271 --> 00:08:09,019
Yes, General.
125
00:08:10,447 --> 00:08:11,641
How's the campaign going?
126
00:08:11,666 --> 00:08:12,835
Fundraising has slowed,
127
00:08:12,923 --> 00:08:15,713
and we're down 15 in the
polls as of last night.
128
00:08:15,745 --> 00:08:17,605
We expect to get hammered on
the new Middle-East proposal.
129
00:08:17,629 --> 00:08:19,022
But now this vent mining project
130
00:08:19,054 --> 00:08:21,359
suddenly has all our so-called
allies in an uproar.
131
00:08:21,406 --> 00:08:23,446
Ha, looking for their piece
of the action, you mean?
132
00:08:23,686 --> 00:08:24,816
Exactly, and of course,
133
00:08:24,841 --> 00:08:26,045
the environmentalists are howling,
134
00:08:26,069 --> 00:08:29,093
and the opposition is scoring points.
Ready?
135
00:08:32,997 --> 00:08:35,474
Chuck, never seen you
up this early before.
136
00:08:35,836 --> 00:08:38,164
Few of us have your energy Mr.
President.
137
00:08:38,390 --> 00:08:40,008
Flattery will get you
everywhere, won't it?
138
00:08:40,032 --> 00:08:41,861
Thank you, Pat.
139
00:08:44,136 --> 00:08:46,646
Mr. President, we have a
situation, I'm afraid.
140
00:08:46,857 --> 00:08:49,224
An infectious disease
outbreak of unknown origin
141
00:08:49,249 --> 00:08:50,691
in southern Utah.
142
00:08:50,733 --> 00:08:51,785
How serious?
143
00:08:51,810 --> 00:08:52,895
Well, the area is remote,
144
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,903
and we think we have it under control.
145
00:08:55,010 --> 00:08:57,282
But I thought you might like
to know about it right away.
146
00:08:57,411 --> 00:08:58,487
And I'll wanna be there.
147
00:08:58,512 --> 00:09:00,547
Respectfully, sir,
I think it would be better
148
00:09:00,572 --> 00:09:02,169
if you stayed here in Washington.
149
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,165
- Daddy!
- Whoa! Hello!
150
00:09:04,190 --> 00:09:06,231
What are you doing here?
151
00:09:06,256 --> 00:09:08,247
What are you doing here?
Did you escape? Hello.
152
00:09:08,272 --> 00:09:09,737
- Hello, Chuck.
- Joanne.
153
00:09:09,925 --> 00:09:11,263
I'm sorry to interrupt, honey.
154
00:09:11,288 --> 00:09:13,100
I was packing and this little
monster got away from me.
155
00:09:13,124 --> 00:09:14,304
You got away from your mama.
156
00:09:14,329 --> 00:09:16,080
- Campaign tour?
- Apparently the american people
157
00:09:16,104 --> 00:09:17,978
would rather see my wife than myself,
158
00:09:18,003 --> 00:09:20,379
although, I can't say as
I blame them too much.
159
00:09:20,404 --> 00:09:21,517
And as for you, young lady.
160
00:09:21,542 --> 00:09:22,823
You've got to go back
where you came from
161
00:09:22,847 --> 00:09:25,400
'cause daddy is working
right now, okay?
162
00:09:25,907 --> 00:09:27,232
- Bye... Bye.
- Bye, Daddy.
163
00:09:27,257 --> 00:09:28,360
Bye.
164
00:09:28,415 --> 00:09:29,634
Bye.
165
00:09:34,914 --> 00:09:37,747
So this infection is of
unknown origin, you say?
166
00:09:37,931 --> 00:09:40,237
We're still gathering
all the facts, sir.
167
00:09:40,373 --> 00:09:42,397
This isn't going to be
another Houston, is it?
168
00:09:42,893 --> 00:09:44,879
I think it's very unlikely.
169
00:09:46,973 --> 00:09:49,828
Anything you need,
Chuck, you let me know.
170
00:10:08,103 --> 00:10:10,298
- Yes?
- Dr. Tsi Chou?
171
00:10:14,285 --> 00:10:16,741
- What is it?
- There's been a Wildfire alert.
172
00:10:24,854 --> 00:10:26,547
You okay, sir?
173
00:10:26,689 --> 00:10:28,892
Yeah. Light sensitivity.
174
00:10:28,917 --> 00:10:30,610
Uh, migraines.
175
00:10:36,724 --> 00:10:38,668
Adrian has a dentist
appointment on monday.
176
00:10:38,693 --> 00:10:41,075
Don't let him tell you
he's too sick to go.
177
00:10:41,193 --> 00:10:42,966
How long do you think?
178
00:10:50,121 --> 00:10:51,591
If I call you and ask
you about your mother,
179
00:10:51,615 --> 00:10:53,839
grab the kids, get on
a plane and go west.
180
00:10:54,068 --> 00:10:55,542
Get as much distance between you
181
00:10:55,567 --> 00:10:57,807
and the continental
United States as you can.
182
00:11:03,471 --> 00:11:04,983
I love you.
183
00:11:05,213 --> 00:11:07,157
I love you, too.
184
00:11:08,482 --> 00:11:10,039
Sir?
185
00:11:10,419 --> 00:11:13,302
Beeter has informed Homeland
Security and the President.
186
00:11:13,335 --> 00:11:14,848
The Wildfire team should be assembled
187
00:11:14,873 --> 00:11:16,926
at Peterson Air Force Base
shortly after your arrival.
188
00:11:16,950 --> 00:11:19,099
Who's the designated
"odd man" on the Wildfire team?
189
00:11:19,124 --> 00:11:20,782
Army Major William Keene.
190
00:11:20,807 --> 00:11:22,436
Ah, the hero of the Houston event.
191
00:11:22,461 --> 00:11:23,927
Excellent researcher and a fine officer.
192
00:11:23,951 --> 00:11:26,077
He had a big dust-up
with Stone last year
193
00:11:26,102 --> 00:11:28,201
over who first isolated the CD-1 virus.
194
00:11:28,226 --> 00:11:29,277
Have they made up?
195
00:11:29,302 --> 00:11:30,890
They agreed to share credit,
196
00:11:30,915 --> 00:11:33,040
but there's no love lost between them.
197
00:11:34,484 --> 00:11:36,460
Maybe that's something we can build on.
198
00:11:36,485 --> 00:11:37,555
Sir.
199
00:11:56,835 --> 00:11:58,980
Major Keene?
200
00:12:06,281 --> 00:12:08,089
What's going on?
201
00:12:10,318 --> 00:12:12,262
Please, make yourself
comfortable, Doctor.
202
00:12:12,287 --> 00:12:14,628
We'll be taking off shortly.
203
00:12:20,939 --> 00:12:22,240
Hello, Angela.
204
00:12:22,307 --> 00:12:24,216
- Jeremy.
- I, uh, asked for something bigger.
205
00:12:24,241 --> 00:12:27,049
But this is the best they could
do on such short notice.
206
00:12:27,074 --> 00:12:28,205
I was in surgery.
207
00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:30,350
If it wasn't important, we
wouldn't have come calling.
208
00:12:30,613 --> 00:12:32,205
How bad is it?
209
00:12:32,276 --> 00:12:35,744
Preliminary reports suggest a
fatality rate of nearly a 100%.
210
00:12:37,393 --> 00:12:39,924
You always bring me such good tidings.
211
00:12:39,979 --> 00:12:41,899
Please take your seats and
fasten your seatbelts.
212
00:12:41,955 --> 00:12:44,446
Flight attendants, please
cross-check the doors.
213
00:12:44,913 --> 00:12:46,633
I heard about you and Lisa.
214
00:12:46,658 --> 00:12:47,993
How's Lance feeling?
215
00:12:48,018 --> 00:12:50,258
He's a teenager, so it's
always hard to tell.
216
00:12:51,164 --> 00:12:52,508
Beneath the raging hormones,
217
00:12:52,540 --> 00:12:54,844
I'd... I'd have to say
he's pretty angry.
218
00:12:54,927 --> 00:12:56,233
He's tolerating the separation.
219
00:12:56,471 --> 00:12:57,933
He's going to stay with
my sister in Los Angeles
220
00:12:57,957 --> 00:12:59,534
for the rest of July.
221
00:13:00,518 --> 00:13:02,358
I almost called you when I heard,
222
00:13:02,383 --> 00:13:04,019
but I figured that your life
223
00:13:04,044 --> 00:13:06,320
was probably complicated enough.
224
00:13:06,364 --> 00:13:08,057
- Yeah.
- Yes.
225
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:14,212
Mr. Nash, you have a phone call.
226
00:13:17,062 --> 00:13:20,166
Well, I guess I'd better take that then.
227
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,496
Jack's 'Rehab Nightmare'
228
00:13:26,543 --> 00:13:27,980
I'm on to something.
229
00:13:28,327 --> 00:13:30,237
- Wheezer?
- No names!
230
00:13:30,571 --> 00:13:31,962
God, you're paranoid.
231
00:13:31,987 --> 00:13:34,328
Like the NSA isn't really
tracing all our calls.
232
00:13:34,581 --> 00:13:37,389
Wheezer, knock off the double
espressos and go back to bed.
233
00:13:37,414 --> 00:13:39,584
At the King. One hour.
234
00:13:39,609 --> 00:13:42,987
Yeah, may have a little
trouble with that.
235
00:13:44,159 --> 00:13:45,329
Mancheck.
236
00:13:46,538 --> 00:13:47,788
Mancheck?
237
00:13:47,813 --> 00:13:50,592
Mr. Nash? Mr. Nash, I think
this is a terrible mistake.
238
00:13:50,617 --> 00:13:52,264
I'll check in again when I'm done.
239
00:13:52,289 --> 00:13:53,836
- It doesn't work like that.
- What doesn't?
240
00:13:53,860 --> 00:13:55,337
My addiction or my insurance?
241
00:13:55,925 --> 00:13:58,015
Well, both, really.
242
00:13:58,503 --> 00:14:01,607
Simply put, these thermal
vents on the ocean floor
243
00:14:01,632 --> 00:14:05,298
precipitate a fortune in
almost pure mineral deposits.
244
00:14:05,423 --> 00:14:09,110
Such as manganese, critical
in the production of steel.
245
00:14:09,135 --> 00:14:11,363
And gold in higher concentrations
than most onshore mines.
246
00:14:11,387 --> 00:14:12,721
Wheezer, this had better be good.
247
00:14:12,757 --> 00:14:14,674
Until now, no one could
extract these deposits
248
00:14:14,699 --> 00:14:16,552
because of the crushing depths
at which they are found.
249
00:14:16,576 --> 00:14:19,269
- But this new technology makes it possible.
- Do you mind?
250
00:14:19,336 --> 00:14:22,248
Come on. Don't be a tease. What's up?
251
00:14:22,401 --> 00:14:25,164
Not up. Down. "Project Scoop".
252
00:14:25,198 --> 00:14:27,304
What's that? A Baskin-Robbins' special?
253
00:14:27,329 --> 00:14:28,382
Funny.
254
00:14:29,343 --> 00:14:30,814
Check this out.
255
00:14:36,854 --> 00:14:38,683
It's like a war zone.
256
00:14:38,843 --> 00:14:41,184
This town is full of bodies.
257
00:14:41,917 --> 00:14:45,282
Over here! Over here! Help me, man!
Help me!
258
00:14:45,307 --> 00:14:47,397
You gotta help me.
259
00:14:47,802 --> 00:14:51,094
Oh! No! No! No!
260
00:14:51,119 --> 00:14:53,028
What the hell was that?
261
00:14:53,065 --> 00:14:54,525
Early this morning,
there was an exchange
262
00:14:54,549 --> 00:14:56,222
between NASA and the Pentagon
263
00:14:56,247 --> 00:14:58,090
about a satellite
code-named Project Scoop
264
00:14:58,115 --> 00:14:59,557
that crashed in southern Utah.
265
00:15:00,149 --> 00:15:01,914
About an hour later, I picked that up.
266
00:15:02,323 --> 00:15:03,948
The last transmission
of a retrieval team
267
00:15:03,973 --> 00:15:05,855
that went into a nearby town, Piedmont,
268
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,128
after the satellite.
269
00:15:07,403 --> 00:15:08,962
An Army retrieval team.
270
00:15:09,299 --> 00:15:11,173
Hacking the Feds is a felony, Wheezer.
271
00:15:11,419 --> 00:15:13,795
Homeland Security will
be all over your ass.
272
00:15:13,908 --> 00:15:15,681
My bike needs new tires.
273
00:15:18,686 --> 00:15:20,414
Mancheck?
274
00:15:25,113 --> 00:15:28,785
No! Caper One, do you copy?
Do you copy, Caper One?
275
00:15:29,196 --> 00:15:31,617
Once again, Caper One, do you copy?
Come in.
276
00:15:32,042 --> 00:15:33,604
Get General Mancheck.
277
00:15:33,889 --> 00:15:36,073
Get Mancheck now.
278
00:15:36,799 --> 00:15:39,316
Jack Nash, my favorite muckraker.
279
00:15:39,730 --> 00:15:41,855
Whose career are you ruining today?
280
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,004
Oh, you know me.
281
00:15:43,029 --> 00:15:44,972
My hit list of the venal
and the morally corrupt
282
00:15:44,997 --> 00:15:47,339
just keeps on growing.
I can't keep pace.
283
00:15:47,758 --> 00:15:48,937
Hey, is Jeremy there?
284
00:15:48,962 --> 00:15:51,258
Well, for such a superb
investigative journalist,
285
00:15:51,283 --> 00:15:52,589
you are sadly ignorant.
286
00:15:52,930 --> 00:15:54,365
The good doctor and I split.
287
00:15:54,953 --> 00:15:56,047
He has a love nest somewhere,
288
00:15:56,071 --> 00:15:59,311
probably on campus, close to
the sororities he prefers.
289
00:15:59,693 --> 00:16:01,289
I'm... I'm sorry to hear
that, Lisa, truly.
290
00:16:01,313 --> 00:16:04,078
But do you have a number for him?
This is very important.
291
00:16:04,103 --> 00:16:05,640
It wouldn't do you any good.
292
00:16:05,665 --> 00:16:07,574
Saint Jeremy's off on
assignment for the Army.
293
00:16:08,239 --> 00:16:11,047
Very hush-hush. They picked
him up early this morning.
294
00:16:11,308 --> 00:16:13,339
Was this in regards to a Project Scoop?
295
00:16:13,597 --> 00:16:15,979
Don't know. Don't care.
296
00:16:16,717 --> 00:16:17,878
Good afternoon, everyone.
297
00:16:17,904 --> 00:16:19,287
I'm General George Mancheck,
298
00:16:19,312 --> 00:16:21,585
Head of the US Army
Bio-Defense Department.
299
00:16:21,632 --> 00:16:23,632
Uh, you are now being
distributed e-papers.
300
00:16:23,687 --> 00:16:25,982
They contain continuously
updated information
301
00:16:26,007 --> 00:16:27,991
about Wildfire, and
what we currently know
302
00:16:28,034 --> 00:16:29,968
about the event, which is very little.
303
00:16:30,171 --> 00:16:32,685
Since the failed biological
attack in Houston last year,
304
00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:35,578
in which major Keene here
played an important part,
305
00:16:35,664 --> 00:16:39,256
our vulnerability to terrorist
action, especially bioterrorism,
306
00:16:39,281 --> 00:16:41,155
has been a subject of
intense discussion.
307
00:16:41,190 --> 00:16:44,117
You, the Wildfire Response
Team and Laboratory,
308
00:16:44,265 --> 00:16:46,127
are the result of that discussion.
309
00:16:46,348 --> 00:16:48,055
You volunteered in the
spirit of patriotism
310
00:16:48,088 --> 00:16:50,276
for an assignment that
was vague at the time.
311
00:16:50,479 --> 00:16:51,737
Undoubtedly, you're wondering
312
00:16:51,762 --> 00:16:53,373
what the hell you've
got yourselves into.
313
00:16:53,584 --> 00:16:54,637
Dr. Stone.
314
00:16:54,662 --> 00:16:56,530
Right. Well, obviously some
of you have worked together.
315
00:16:56,554 --> 00:16:59,240
Certainly everyone here has
read each others' work,
316
00:16:59,312 --> 00:17:01,085
at least heard of one another.
317
00:17:01,206 --> 00:17:02,412
I'm dr. Jeremy Stone,
318
00:17:02,437 --> 00:17:04,116
Head of the Bloomsburg
Facility at Johns Hopkins.
319
00:17:04,140 --> 00:17:06,372
And the Chief Consultant
for, and designer of,
320
00:17:06,397 --> 00:17:07,557
the Wildfire Lab and Project.
321
00:17:08,562 --> 00:17:10,069
Where is the laboratory?
322
00:17:10,094 --> 00:17:12,942
For security reasons, we
cannot disclose its location.
323
00:17:13,586 --> 00:17:15,329
We're not allowed to know
where we'll be working?
324
00:17:15,353 --> 00:17:17,227
No, but I can assure you that, uh,
325
00:17:17,262 --> 00:17:20,070
we'll be in full and constant
contact with the outside.
326
00:17:20,167 --> 00:17:21,268
Dr. Noyce?
327
00:17:21,293 --> 00:17:24,221
Uh, dr. Angela Noyce,
surgeon, ex-biologist,
328
00:17:24,246 --> 00:17:26,982
and I specialize in tropical
and exotic diseases.
329
00:17:27,017 --> 00:17:28,289
Dr. Charlene Barton, pathologist,
330
00:17:28,313 --> 00:17:30,139
Formerly with the CDC,
331
00:17:30,164 --> 00:17:31,958
Now with the San Fransisco
Health Department.
332
00:17:31,985 --> 00:17:33,291
Major Bill Keene, M.D.,
333
00:17:33,349 --> 00:17:35,344
Virologist from the Army
Medical Research Institute
334
00:17:35,368 --> 00:17:38,277
of Infectious Diseases,
Fort Detrick, Maryland.
335
00:17:41,052 --> 00:17:43,830
Uh, dr. Tsi Chou, microbiologist.
336
00:17:44,350 --> 00:17:45,792
So modest.
337
00:17:45,827 --> 00:17:48,483
About ten years ago, dr. Chou was
one of the premier designers
338
00:17:48,508 --> 00:17:51,140
of biological weapons for
the chinese government.
339
00:17:52,554 --> 00:17:54,432
But then I saw the light of Jesus.
340
00:17:54,467 --> 00:17:56,211
And now I serve as a
consultant on bioterrorism
341
00:17:56,235 --> 00:17:58,360
for a wide range of US Corporations.
342
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,741
Out of the ashes, into the fire.
343
00:18:04,187 --> 00:18:06,096
Last night, uh, please.
344
00:18:06,889 --> 00:18:08,952
Last night, a NASA satellite lost orbit
345
00:18:08,977 --> 00:18:11,785
and came down in a remote
part of southern Utah.
346
00:18:14,725 --> 00:18:15,968
When a retrieval team arrived,
347
00:18:15,993 --> 00:18:17,218
the satellite had been moved.
348
00:18:17,243 --> 00:18:20,915
We believe by civilians, into
the nearby town of Piedmont.
349
00:18:22,332 --> 00:18:24,312
No signs yet of any life.
350
00:18:24,337 --> 00:18:26,497
Except for this joker staring
at us from his pickup.
351
00:18:28,358 --> 00:18:30,734
We're rounding the corner.
352
00:18:31,222 --> 00:18:33,131
Whoa, hold on.
353
00:18:35,075 --> 00:18:37,221
This town is full of bodies.
354
00:18:37,246 --> 00:18:39,455
- It's like a war zone.
- Over here! Over here!
355
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,951
Help me! Help me, man.
You gotta help me!
356
00:18:41,952 --> 00:18:43,499
Aah! Aah!
357
00:18:45,875 --> 00:18:48,899
Help! No! No!
358
00:18:56,635 --> 00:18:59,440
The team's chemical sensors
detected nothing unusual.
359
00:18:59,541 --> 00:19:01,205
So we suspect a biological agent
360
00:19:01,230 --> 00:19:03,164
now code-named "Andromeda."
361
00:19:03,189 --> 00:19:06,369
Whatever Andromeda is, it killed
those two soldiers so quickly,
362
00:19:06,394 --> 00:19:08,987
they didn't even have time
to jump out of their humvee.
363
00:19:09,022 --> 00:19:11,214
Two hours later, this infrared recording
364
00:19:11,239 --> 00:19:13,034
was made by a pilotless drone.
365
00:19:13,059 --> 00:19:15,683
Flying east to west at
an altitude of 500 feet.
366
00:19:15,936 --> 00:19:18,448
The, um, bright spots indicating
thermal activity are corpses.
367
00:19:22,027 --> 00:19:25,246
And, uh, this is another
pass immediately afterwards...
368
00:19:25,271 --> 00:19:26,396
Same parameters.
369
00:19:30,451 --> 00:19:33,199
What brought that satellite out
of orbit in the first place?
370
00:19:33,283 --> 00:19:35,152
Uh, possibly contact with a meteor
371
00:19:35,177 --> 00:19:36,738
or unknown space debris.
372
00:19:36,785 --> 00:19:40,025
Uh, there was also one of two new
North Korean satellites in the area.
373
00:19:40,253 --> 00:19:42,170
What they were doing there,
of course, we have no idea.
374
00:19:42,194 --> 00:19:44,034
Well, being sinister and
inscrutable, no doubt.
375
00:19:45,277 --> 00:19:47,636
If their purpose is benign,
why keep it a secret?
376
00:19:47,712 --> 00:19:50,440
One could say the same thing
about this operation, General.
377
00:19:50,553 --> 00:19:52,217
What exactly was NASA doing
with that satellite?
378
00:19:52,241 --> 00:19:54,779
And... And why was an Army
retrieval vehicle sent in
379
00:19:54,814 --> 00:19:56,217
after it had failed?
380
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,507
NASA doesn't have a pot
to piss in these days.
381
00:19:58,563 --> 00:20:00,030
All flights are multipurpose.
382
00:20:00,717 --> 00:20:02,320
We're going to need to
trust each other, Doctor.
383
00:20:02,344 --> 00:20:03,698
As long as we all act in good faith,
384
00:20:03,722 --> 00:20:06,360
- I don't have a problem there.
- General?
385
00:20:06,457 --> 00:20:09,265
Can we play both
recordings simultaneously?
386
00:20:17,911 --> 00:20:19,685
That body by the recovery vehicle
387
00:20:19,710 --> 00:20:21,483
has moved between passes.
388
00:20:24,539 --> 00:20:26,619
- Again. Overlay.
- Yes, sir.
389
00:20:30,059 --> 00:20:33,515
Freeze it. Overlay.
390
00:20:33,792 --> 00:20:35,485
Switch back.
391
00:20:38,213 --> 00:20:39,589
Son of a bitch.
392
00:20:40,435 --> 00:20:43,811
Someone's alive down there.
393
00:20:47,131 --> 00:20:49,040
Listen, Bill.
394
00:20:49,161 --> 00:20:51,541
Whatever differences
we've had in the past,
395
00:20:51,667 --> 00:20:53,526
I hope we can put 'em
aside for the duration.
396
00:20:53,573 --> 00:20:55,690
I wouldn't miss this
for the world, Jeremy.
397
00:20:55,715 --> 00:20:57,448
Somebody has to keep an eye on you.
398
00:20:58,846 --> 00:21:01,565
What's up with you and Mancheck?
399
00:21:01,853 --> 00:21:03,511
Mancheck?
400
00:21:04,093 --> 00:21:05,523
Well, during operation Desert Storm,
401
00:21:05,547 --> 00:21:08,104
I wanted to examine certain
Iraqi munitions bunkers
402
00:21:08,129 --> 00:21:11,089
for possible biological agents,
but he blew them up first.
403
00:21:11,301 --> 00:21:12,519
Why the big hurry?
404
00:21:12,918 --> 00:21:14,928
Maybe there was something
he didn't want me to find.
405
00:21:14,952 --> 00:21:16,652
Oh, yeah, like the Loch Ness monster.
406
00:21:16,677 --> 00:21:18,110
Or maybe there was proof of bigfoot.
407
00:21:18,134 --> 00:21:19,897
Look, a lot of people
wondered how Saddam
408
00:21:19,922 --> 00:21:22,373
acquired his bioweapons
capability in the first place.
409
00:21:22,572 --> 00:21:24,705
Now some people have suggested
that certain governments,
410
00:21:24,729 --> 00:21:26,518
who were friendly at the
time and eager for data
411
00:21:26,542 --> 00:21:28,899
on the battlefield use of
weaponized biological agents.
412
00:21:28,962 --> 00:21:30,346
Might have sold Saddam what he wanted
413
00:21:30,370 --> 00:21:31,665
when he was fighting Iran.
414
00:21:31,702 --> 00:21:33,624
That's just a bunch of
paranoid left-wing B.S.
415
00:21:33,649 --> 00:21:35,359
It was never proven, Jeremy.
416
00:21:35,384 --> 00:21:37,026
Just because you're paranoid, Bill,
417
00:21:37,580 --> 00:21:39,841
doesn't mean they ain't out to get you.
418
00:21:56,311 --> 00:21:57,560
Mancheck.
419
00:21:57,585 --> 00:21:59,552
A heads-up from our friend at the NSA.
420
00:21:59,577 --> 00:22:02,638
who's been running security
checks on the Wildfire team.
421
00:22:02,790 --> 00:22:04,443
An hour ago they picked
up a conversation
422
00:22:04,468 --> 00:22:06,342
between Lisa Stone and Jack Nash.
423
00:22:07,170 --> 00:22:09,289
How the hell did Jack
Nash stumble on this?
424
00:22:09,399 --> 00:22:11,956
He asked about Project Scoop.
425
00:22:12,171 --> 00:22:15,414
Jeez. Who's his source?
426
00:22:15,742 --> 00:22:17,273
We're working on it.
427
00:22:17,354 --> 00:22:19,468
Nash and Stone were an
unbelievable pain in the ass
428
00:22:19,628 --> 00:22:22,937
over Kuwait. How much does
he know about Project Scoop?
429
00:22:22,976 --> 00:22:25,317
Well, as far as we can
tell, nothing yet.
430
00:22:27,795 --> 00:22:30,467
Don't do anything about Nash right now,
431
00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:32,003
except monitor him closely
432
00:22:33,233 --> 00:22:36,677
and identify his source.
433
00:22:39,531 --> 00:22:43,304
What's the escort for? Paparazzi?
434
00:22:43,589 --> 00:22:46,397
A failsafe plan to prevent
a break in quarantine.
435
00:22:46,776 --> 00:22:47,998
The chopper will drop us off
436
00:22:48,023 --> 00:22:50,162
and hover at 500 feet
until we recall it.
437
00:22:50,468 --> 00:22:52,834
It will not land unless
they get our signal.
438
00:22:52,859 --> 00:22:55,667
Now if we don't come back,
they're to immediately report
439
00:22:55,692 --> 00:22:57,420
back to base for decontamination.
440
00:22:57,891 --> 00:23:00,093
And if the pilot fails to respond?
441
00:23:00,233 --> 00:23:03,257
Well, there is a failsafe
for the failsafe.
442
00:23:03,464 --> 00:23:04,936
It's not too late to reconsider.
443
00:23:04,965 --> 00:23:07,261
Oh, this is just starting to get good.
444
00:23:08,042 --> 00:23:10,705
Approaching target, sir.
445
00:23:14,833 --> 00:23:17,073
We have smoke rising from the town, sir.
446
00:23:26,784 --> 00:23:27,932
Whatever Andromeda is,
447
00:23:27,957 --> 00:23:30,253
it still hasn't killed the birds.
448
00:23:30,315 --> 00:23:32,932
They could be potential vectors,
as with SARS or West-Nile virus.
449
00:23:32,971 --> 00:23:34,565
Best not to take any chances.
450
00:23:35,487 --> 00:23:37,377
Captain, drop the Chlorazine.
451
00:23:37,402 --> 00:23:39,015
Roger that.
452
00:24:09,332 --> 00:24:12,449
Hmm, the Audubon Society's
not gonna like that.
453
00:24:12,605 --> 00:24:13,934
Lieutenant, when ready, lower the team
454
00:24:13,958 --> 00:24:14,816
into the center of town.
455
00:24:14,841 --> 00:24:16,361
And take up your preassigned position.
456
00:24:16,391 --> 00:24:17,867
Roger that.
457
00:24:18,730 --> 00:24:21,042
What are the ultimate
environmental consequences
458
00:24:21,067 --> 00:24:22,760
of mining these deep-sea thermal vents?
459
00:24:22,830 --> 00:24:24,136
We don't know.
460
00:24:24,178 --> 00:24:26,303
But one thing we know for
sure is that Enburtel,
461
00:24:26,432 --> 00:24:29,447
one of President Scott's largest
corporate campaign contributors.
462
00:24:29,492 --> 00:24:30,900
Will make a fortune from it.
463
00:24:30,925 --> 00:24:33,353
- And once again, the President and his corporate masters...
- Hey, gorgeous.
464
00:24:33,377 --> 00:24:35,845
Are ignoring science, defying
international treaties
465
00:24:35,870 --> 00:24:37,073
and acting unilaterally.
466
00:24:37,098 --> 00:24:38,557
Charlie H., long time, no see.
467
00:24:38,582 --> 00:24:39,926
Sorry, Charlie, he just barged in.
468
00:24:39,950 --> 00:24:41,542
That's all right. Just call security.
469
00:24:41,567 --> 00:24:43,613
Whoa, Charles, I'm not
feeling the love here.
470
00:24:43,638 --> 00:24:45,728
You're in rehab. That was our deal.
471
00:24:45,805 --> 00:24:47,891
30 days, then you might
get your job back.
472
00:24:47,916 --> 00:24:48,958
I'm clean. I'm sober.
473
00:24:48,983 --> 00:24:50,530
Look at me, I'm even tan, and I am...
474
00:24:50,555 --> 00:24:52,764
- I've got a lead on something
- 30 days rehab.
475
00:24:52,789 --> 00:24:54,563
- That was the deal.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, Charlie.
476
00:24:54,587 --> 00:24:56,446
You're too good a producer to
let your personal feelings
477
00:24:56,470 --> 00:24:59,774
- get in the way of a great story.
- How great?
478
00:25:00,228 --> 00:25:02,962
Last night, NASA satellite
crashes in southern Utah.
479
00:25:03,112 --> 00:25:04,891
This is news? We call that gravity.
480
00:25:04,916 --> 00:25:07,303
NASA claims it was a weather satellite.
I know that's a lie.
481
00:25:07,518 --> 00:25:09,027
And why was an Army retrieval team
482
00:25:09,052 --> 00:25:10,915
sent to pick up said NASA bird?
483
00:25:10,980 --> 00:25:13,923
And why was that team from the
department of Bio-Defense?
484
00:25:15,657 --> 00:25:17,549
If this is another one of
your paranoid fantasies,
485
00:25:17,573 --> 00:25:20,377
- I swear to
- The whole unit died horribly.
486
00:25:20,525 --> 00:25:22,002
Wait a minute. Wait. Wait.
487
00:25:22,170 --> 00:25:23,396
Did...
488
00:25:24,072 --> 00:25:25,463
you know this for a fact?
489
00:25:25,572 --> 00:25:27,630
- I saw the visuals myself.
- You got tape?
490
00:25:27,655 --> 00:25:28,807
I can get tape.
491
00:25:28,930 --> 00:25:30,954
- Right.
- Meanwhile, a couple of hours later.
492
00:25:30,979 --> 00:25:32,313
One of our leading epidemiologists
493
00:25:32,337 --> 00:25:35,145
is picked up by the
Army and whisked away.
494
00:25:35,656 --> 00:25:36,719
And?
495
00:25:36,744 --> 00:25:40,063
And the Army General
in charge is Mancheck.
496
00:25:40,739 --> 00:25:42,829
Mancheck. See? I knew it. I knew it.
497
00:25:42,864 --> 00:25:45,456
You... You just won't let
that go, will you?
498
00:25:45,491 --> 00:25:47,157
I mean, you're like frickin' Ahab
499
00:25:47,182 --> 00:25:49,320
- And the white whale with that guy.
- I swear to god, this just fell in my lap.
500
00:25:49,344 --> 00:25:51,110
All I need is a week to
run this down and a crew.
501
00:25:51,134 --> 00:25:53,758
A week and a crew.
That's all I'm asking for.
502
00:25:55,176 --> 00:25:58,469
Three days, then you get
your ass back in Betty Ford,
503
00:25:58,494 --> 00:26:00,504
or wherever you were.
504
00:26:00,758 --> 00:26:02,918
- This man loves me.
- Don't kid yourself.
505
00:26:03,601 --> 00:26:04,958
Loves me!
506
00:26:32,147 --> 00:26:33,739
External symptoms...
507
00:26:33,774 --> 00:26:37,150
Pronounced swelling of all
surface veins and capillaries,
508
00:26:38,061 --> 00:26:40,571
jaundice... Like yellowing of his eyes.
509
00:26:41,623 --> 00:26:43,200
A few of them are
clutching their chests.
510
00:26:43,225 --> 00:26:44,459
This could be coronary.
511
00:26:44,709 --> 00:26:46,302
Not coronary. Look at his face.
512
00:26:46,772 --> 00:26:48,029
Asphyxiation, maybe.
513
00:26:48,459 --> 00:26:49,859
No, if a person can't breathe,
514
00:26:49,894 --> 00:26:52,600
they try to loosen the clothing
around their neck and chest.
515
00:26:52,635 --> 00:26:53,765
Look at that guy over there.
516
00:26:53,790 --> 00:26:56,302
He has his shirt buttoned
all the way to the top.
517
00:26:56,528 --> 00:26:58,937
This isn't asphyxiation or heart attack.
518
00:27:03,124 --> 00:27:04,216
Well, the survivor we saw
519
00:27:04,241 --> 00:27:05,889
was over near the retrieval vehicle.
520
00:27:26,182 --> 00:27:27,682
Dr. Noyce.
521
00:27:28,415 --> 00:27:30,525
Take a look.
522
00:27:33,018 --> 00:27:35,676
Look at the way he fell and broke
his nose on the steering wheel.
523
00:27:38,072 --> 00:27:39,338
There's no blood.
524
00:27:39,363 --> 00:27:41,307
A wound like that
should bleed profusely.
525
00:27:42,190 --> 00:27:43,723
Not one of the corpses we've seen,
526
00:27:43,758 --> 00:27:46,127
including the bird food
back there, were bleeders.
527
00:27:56,206 --> 00:27:58,798
- What is it?
- I thought I heard something.
528
00:27:59,127 --> 00:28:00,923
Don't get sketchy on us, doc.
529
00:28:01,237 --> 00:28:03,930
We have a survivor on tape, remember?
530
00:28:04,414 --> 00:28:07,006
Major, there's a GPS tracking
device in the shotgun seat.
531
00:28:07,041 --> 00:28:09,382
It should still be locked
in on the satellite.
532
00:28:09,862 --> 00:28:11,987
Sorry, boy, I gotta get in there.
533
00:28:12,225 --> 00:28:14,351
Bill, have a little respect.
534
00:28:14,402 --> 00:28:17,426
How about we do our job
and get out of here?
535
00:28:23,227 --> 00:28:24,955
Yeah, it's working.
536
00:28:30,909 --> 00:28:33,131
Looks like we're close.
537
00:28:33,156 --> 00:28:35,182
Pull over here.
538
00:29:31,256 --> 00:29:33,235
There it is.
539
00:29:38,494 --> 00:29:41,604
Unbelievable. They opened it.
540
00:29:46,331 --> 00:29:48,310
Angela, can you check his lividity?
541
00:29:48,345 --> 00:29:50,448
Okay.
542
00:29:52,414 --> 00:29:53,926
Give me a hand, Bill.
543
00:29:54,460 --> 00:29:57,665
One, two, three.
544
00:30:00,622 --> 00:30:02,566
Easy, easy.
545
00:30:04,390 --> 00:30:05,568
Dead for hours...
546
00:30:05,593 --> 00:30:08,147
Distended arteries, no bruising.
547
00:30:08,322 --> 00:30:10,914
Look at an artery, would you?
Check his radial.
548
00:30:32,327 --> 00:30:33,688
Clotted solid.
549
00:30:34,592 --> 00:30:36,610
What does that?
550
00:30:59,289 --> 00:31:00,867
Is there a problem, officer?
551
00:31:00,892 --> 00:31:03,164
License and registration, please.
552
00:31:09,601 --> 00:31:11,078
Nice bike.
553
00:31:11,718 --> 00:31:15,358
It's a 1951 FL Panhead.
I did the restoration myself.
554
00:31:15,393 --> 00:31:17,950
Beautiful. Tank shift, foot clutch...
555
00:31:17,985 --> 00:31:19,882
You don't see those anymore.
556
00:31:21,521 --> 00:31:23,531
You are Jonathan Scott?
557
00:31:23,863 --> 00:31:26,671
Yes, sir. I-I just gave it new tires.
558
00:31:58,576 --> 00:32:00,520
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
559
00:32:01,481 --> 00:32:03,340
- Is your husband watching?
- Yes.
560
00:32:03,637 --> 00:32:05,651
- And the family?
- I hope so.
561
00:32:05,686 --> 00:32:07,793
Would you like to say
hello to them out there?
562
00:32:07,818 --> 00:32:09,079
Um...
563
00:32:48,010 --> 00:32:49,314
I've seen enough.
564
00:32:49,416 --> 00:32:51,227
We should nuke this place
and be done with it.
565
00:32:51,262 --> 00:32:52,372
You're not serious.
566
00:32:52,521 --> 00:32:54,718
Under the Wildfire
Protocols, Directive 7-12,
567
00:32:54,753 --> 00:32:57,279
a limited nuclear strike
is a contingency.
568
00:32:57,411 --> 00:32:59,387
- I agree with Bill.
- Ditto. Why mess around?
569
00:32:59,412 --> 00:33:02,185
Because it's premature until we
know what we're dealing with.
570
00:33:02,210 --> 00:33:04,825
You're all forgetting that
we have a survivor on tape.
571
00:33:04,887 --> 00:33:06,113
Yeah, nine hours ago.
572
00:33:06,138 --> 00:33:07,221
Maybe they're dead now,
573
00:33:07,246 --> 00:33:09,190
hving drowned themselves
or burned themselves.
574
00:33:09,225 --> 00:33:11,134
Or cut their own freakin' heads off.
575
00:33:39,054 --> 00:33:42,351
Hi. You're okay. Shh...
576
00:33:42,412 --> 00:33:46,007
Shh. It's okay... Hi.
577
00:33:46,468 --> 00:33:47,937
She must be hungry.
578
00:33:48,296 --> 00:33:49,617
There's some baby formula here.
579
00:33:49,710 --> 00:33:51,275
No, no. Don't... Don't...
Don't feed her.
580
00:33:51,310 --> 00:33:53,429
Don't... Don't do anything until
we get her out of here.
581
00:33:53,504 --> 00:33:55,157
Maybe feeding's part of
the disease process,
582
00:33:55,182 --> 00:33:57,422
or there was something
protective in her diet.
583
00:33:57,447 --> 00:33:58,476
We can't take the chance.
584
00:33:58,501 --> 00:34:00,842
We have to get her
into a lab right away.
585
00:34:00,867 --> 00:34:02,973
It's too bad she can't
tell us what happened.
586
00:34:04,122 --> 00:34:05,368
Maybe she can.
587
00:34:15,431 --> 00:34:17,338
You leave that baby here!
588
00:34:17,704 --> 00:34:19,510
You got... Got no right to...
589
00:34:19,535 --> 00:34:20,619
Ow!
590
00:34:26,496 --> 00:34:27,563
You all right?
591
00:34:27,598 --> 00:34:31,054
Don't... Don't touch me. Just
worried about your suit.
592
00:34:32,885 --> 00:34:35,652
Let's L-Stat him and get out of here.
593
00:35:04,304 --> 00:35:06,046
We're coming into the
lab with two survivors...
594
00:35:06,081 --> 00:35:08,530
An adult male and an infant female.
595
00:35:08,671 --> 00:35:09,999
I will recommend to the President
596
00:35:10,039 --> 00:35:11,515
that he order a limited nuclear strike.
597
00:35:11,540 --> 00:35:12,804
Negative. Negative.
598
00:35:13,062 --> 00:35:15,280
We need to figure out
what the hell we're dealing with first.
599
00:35:15,305 --> 00:35:16,468
I disagree.
600
00:35:16,664 --> 00:35:18,366
What we're dealing with induces death,
601
00:35:18,391 --> 00:35:20,546
suicide or homicidal
behavior within minutes.
602
00:35:20,999 --> 00:35:23,077
You have as much time as
the President gives you,
603
00:35:23,102 --> 00:35:25,011
and that's it.
604
00:35:47,150 --> 00:35:48,843
What about our survivors?
605
00:35:49,824 --> 00:35:50,796
They'll be taken along
with the satellite
606
00:35:50,821 --> 00:35:52,658
into the lab through
a separate entrance.
607
00:35:53,331 --> 00:35:55,753
Dr. Chou and dr. Barton
will be waiting for us.
608
00:35:56,097 --> 00:35:58,318
We have no choice now, Chuck.
This thing is scary.
609
00:35:58,353 --> 00:36:00,019
Our safest option is the nuke the site,
610
00:36:00,044 --> 00:36:01,803
and only the President
can authorize a nuclear.
611
00:36:01,848 --> 00:36:04,921
You promised us there would be
no problems with Project Scoop.
612
00:36:05,022 --> 00:36:06,710
You know as well as I do
there are no guarantees
613
00:36:06,735 --> 00:36:09,373
on something like this, so calm
down and let me handle it.
614
00:36:15,670 --> 00:36:17,758
Pretty impressive
security measures here.
615
00:36:17,793 --> 00:36:19,258
Better than they look.
616
00:36:19,985 --> 00:36:21,611
Killer pine trees?
617
00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:23,670
We've been under continuous observation
618
00:36:23,705 --> 00:36:25,067
by satellite and ground sensors
619
00:36:25,102 --> 00:36:27,307
since the moment the
helicopter dropped us off.
620
00:36:28,125 --> 00:36:31,034
There's at least one armed
Predator overhead at all times.
621
00:36:31,133 --> 00:36:34,122
If we were a menace,
we'd be dead by now.
622
00:36:48,380 --> 00:36:50,123
Dr. Stone, long time, no see.
623
00:36:50,158 --> 00:36:51,886
Same to you, George.
How's your daughter?
624
00:36:52,231 --> 00:36:53,676
13 going on 35.
625
00:36:53,856 --> 00:36:55,191
Hello, dr. Stone.
626
00:36:55,216 --> 00:36:56,502
Access approved.
627
00:36:57,286 --> 00:36:58,356
STANDBY.
628
00:37:02,411 --> 00:37:03,637
PROCEED.
629
00:37:13,127 --> 00:37:15,220
The Wildfire lab has five levels.
630
00:37:15,287 --> 00:37:17,897
All underground, grouped
around a central utility core,
631
00:37:17,922 --> 00:37:20,182
at the bottom of which
is our power source.
632
00:37:20,789 --> 00:37:22,914
A small water-cooled nuclear reactor.
633
00:37:23,031 --> 00:37:25,101
And the pool hours are...
634
00:37:25,461 --> 00:37:28,031
Hey, at 5,000 to 8,000
rem, even a small exposure
635
00:37:28,056 --> 00:37:30,325
would result in disorientation
or coma within minutes.
636
00:37:30,350 --> 00:37:32,208
But, hey, knock yourself out.
637
00:37:32,614 --> 00:37:35,410
Now, the top two levels
638
00:37:35,435 --> 00:37:36,833
are for service and maintenance crew.
639
00:37:36,858 --> 00:37:39,185
They live on-site in
3-month rotational cycles
640
00:37:39,271 --> 00:37:41,350
under the highest levels
of security clearance.
641
00:37:41,889 --> 00:37:43,608
The bottom three levels,
642
00:37:44,108 --> 00:37:45,670
are the actual heart of the facility...
643
00:37:45,834 --> 00:37:47,639
The laboratory itself.
644
00:37:48,311 --> 00:37:49,854
And culture equipment.
645
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,014
Decontamination and containment
are second to none.
646
00:37:56,289 --> 00:37:58,062
It's safe to remove your helmets.
647
00:38:09,739 --> 00:38:11,933
Oral antibiotics to kill off any flora
648
00:38:11,958 --> 00:38:14,426
that we might be carrying internally.
649
00:38:19,505 --> 00:38:21,292
Now decontaminating the body externally
650
00:38:21,317 --> 00:38:22,919
is a bit more dramatic.
651
00:38:22,944 --> 00:38:24,267
You're gonna have follow
directions closely.
652
00:38:24,292 --> 00:38:26,551
Taking a shortcut could
prove to be fatal.
653
00:38:26,576 --> 00:38:27,938
Once you're ready,
654
00:38:27,963 --> 00:38:30,512
you'll establish your identity
using a retinal scan.
655
00:38:52,614 --> 00:38:54,263
PLEASE REMOVE YOUR WEAPON.
656
00:39:54,526 --> 00:39:56,299
That was some spa.
657
00:39:56,506 --> 00:39:58,323
We do have our amenities.
658
00:39:58,382 --> 00:40:00,307
Now we each have our own
private sleeping quarters,
659
00:40:00,332 --> 00:40:02,510
though we might not see much of them.
660
00:40:02,557 --> 00:40:04,901
The dining area and
gymnasium, which never close.
661
00:40:04,943 --> 00:40:07,876
Now the badges you're wearing
provide voice-controlled access
662
00:40:07,901 --> 00:40:10,555
to the computer system
and the lab equipment.
663
00:40:10,727 --> 00:40:12,385
They also monitor any radiation
664
00:40:12,410 --> 00:40:14,539
or possible contamination you might face,
665
00:40:14,568 --> 00:40:17,376
and provide inter-lab
communication and recording.
666
00:40:17,842 --> 00:40:19,535
You need to wear them at all times.
667
00:40:21,125 --> 00:40:22,549
As painstaking as the entrance is,
668
00:40:22,574 --> 00:40:24,950
I promise you, it's
much harder to get out.
669
00:40:25,623 --> 00:40:27,497
Each level is self-sealing, and egress
670
00:40:27,522 --> 00:40:29,900
is only through authorization
from the level above.
671
00:40:29,929 --> 00:40:30,978
Communication with the outside
672
00:40:31,003 --> 00:40:33,659
is via secure fiber-optic phone
lines and high-speed lan.
673
00:40:33,833 --> 00:40:35,487
We can contact our families?
674
00:40:35,575 --> 00:40:37,484
Yes, but communication is only one-way.
675
00:40:37,661 --> 00:40:40,157
Any personal urgent calls
coming into the facility
676
00:40:40,182 --> 00:40:42,089
are rerouted directly
through the comm center.
677
00:40:42,114 --> 00:40:43,934
Of course, your privacy
will be respected,
678
00:40:43,959 --> 00:40:46,013
but the priority here
must remain the security.
679
00:40:46,088 --> 00:40:47,396
There should be no discussion whatsoever
680
00:40:47,421 --> 00:40:48,851
about what we're working on.
681
00:40:48,876 --> 00:40:49,959
What happens in the event
682
00:40:49,984 --> 00:40:51,365
of an accidental contamination?
683
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,213
Hatch and seal, like a submarine.
684
00:40:55,130 --> 00:40:57,100
In the event of an overwhelming breach,
685
00:40:57,193 --> 00:40:59,848
the lab is built atop a nuclear device.
686
00:41:03,486 --> 00:41:05,536
I've just armed that system.
687
00:41:05,596 --> 00:41:07,207
Once it's activated,
688
00:41:07,232 --> 00:41:09,560
there's a 15-minute
countdown to detonation.
689
00:41:09,696 --> 00:41:11,239
You gotta be shittin' me.
690
00:41:11,339 --> 00:41:12,739
I'm sure the chances of an accident
691
00:41:12,764 --> 00:41:15,763
in such a beautifully designed facility
are too small to be significant.
692
00:41:15,888 --> 00:41:17,200
But if there should be a mistake...
693
00:41:17,283 --> 00:41:18,567
There is a failsafe plan.
694
00:41:18,796 --> 00:41:21,018
Dr. Keene is our odd man.
695
00:41:21,181 --> 00:41:22,516
Please insert your card.
696
00:41:22,541 --> 00:41:23,594
Odd man?
697
00:41:23,619 --> 00:41:26,087
Place your thumb upon the panel.
698
00:41:26,603 --> 00:41:27,923
WELCOME DR. KEENE
699
00:41:28,180 --> 00:41:29,953
To abort the self-destruct sequence,
700
00:41:30,129 --> 00:41:33,151
Bill ID's himself via
thumbprint and his card.
701
00:41:33,292 --> 00:41:35,097
There's a panel like
this on every level.
702
00:41:35,176 --> 00:41:36,254
Why Bill?
703
00:41:36,356 --> 00:41:38,555
The Army ran an extensive
battery of tests,
704
00:41:38,580 --> 00:41:40,871
and determined that unmarried
males were more likely
705
00:41:40,896 --> 00:41:42,769
to make the right
choice during a crisis.
706
00:41:43,371 --> 00:41:45,043
In our particular case,
the right decision
707
00:41:45,068 --> 00:41:47,444
is to not prematurely abort the
self-destruction sequence.
708
00:41:47,622 --> 00:41:48,845
So you were looking for the man
709
00:41:48,870 --> 00:41:51,694
most likely to kill himself and us.
710
00:41:55,289 --> 00:41:56,713
Cool.
711
00:41:57,115 --> 00:41:59,080
I feel so reassured.
712
00:42:01,374 --> 00:42:02,523
Gentlemen...
713
00:42:02,820 --> 00:42:05,140
Chuck, why wasn't I told
about Project Scoop?
714
00:42:05,638 --> 00:42:08,526
The omission was not deliberate, sir.
715
00:42:08,796 --> 00:42:09,983
This is one of those programs
716
00:42:10,008 --> 00:42:13,311
that was initiated years ago
by a previous administration.
717
00:42:13,402 --> 00:42:15,034
It's just one of a number of platforms
718
00:42:15,059 --> 00:42:16,660
we have exploring the singularity.
719
00:42:16,692 --> 00:42:18,074
Oh, and now, as a consequence,
720
00:42:18,099 --> 00:42:20,130
you want me to drop a
nuclear bomb on Utah?
721
00:42:20,714 --> 00:42:23,388
That would be General
Mancheck's recommendation, sir.
722
00:42:24,255 --> 00:42:27,833
It's a limited low-yield
tactical device, mr. President...
723
00:42:28,270 --> 00:42:30,810
- Less than a kiloton.
- Oh, is that all?
724
00:42:30,835 --> 00:42:33,072
We have ongoing test ban
treaty negotiations
725
00:42:33,097 --> 00:42:34,606
with the Russians and the Chinese.
726
00:42:34,667 --> 00:42:36,545
We're still trying to get
North Korea and Iran
727
00:42:36,570 --> 00:42:38,192
to abort their nuclear programs.
728
00:42:38,217 --> 00:42:40,448
How am I gonna explain this to them?
729
00:42:41,045 --> 00:42:42,964
Additionally, mr. President,
730
00:42:43,116 --> 00:42:44,261
not to be crass...
731
00:42:44,286 --> 00:42:46,230
That's your job, Pat. Weigh right in.
732
00:42:46,866 --> 00:42:48,895
Nuke Utah for whatever reason.
733
00:42:49,045 --> 00:42:51,285
And you can kiss your
reelection good-bye.
734
00:42:51,609 --> 00:42:53,187
What does dr. Stone recommend?
735
00:42:53,277 --> 00:42:55,299
The Wildfire team is
divided over the issue.
736
00:42:55,396 --> 00:42:57,604
That wasn't my question.
737
00:42:58,489 --> 00:43:02,119
Dr. Stone would prefer more
time to examine Andromeda.
738
00:43:02,265 --> 00:43:03,491
I should add, mr. President,
739
00:43:03,658 --> 00:43:06,578
that while no one is sure of
the origin of this infection,
740
00:43:06,603 --> 00:43:09,556
we do know that a North Korean
satellite was in in the area
741
00:43:09,581 --> 00:43:11,591
just prior to our bird going down.
742
00:43:11,650 --> 00:43:13,849
What, you're saying this
was an aggression, Chuck?
743
00:43:14,139 --> 00:43:15,475
Why would the Koreans do that?
744
00:43:15,563 --> 00:43:18,517
The Pyongyang regime has always
been a loose cannon, sir.
745
00:43:18,590 --> 00:43:20,126
I'm not prepared to go to war on a hunch
746
00:43:20,151 --> 00:43:21,626
and some half-baked intelligence.
747
00:43:23,002 --> 00:43:24,283
If I authorize it, how quickly
748
00:43:24,308 --> 00:43:26,611
can you call that strike
on Piedmont, General?
749
00:43:26,753 --> 00:43:28,862
Within 15 minutes, Mr. President.
750
00:43:31,852 --> 00:43:34,588
Let's give dr. Stone some
time to do his work.
751
00:43:38,647 --> 00:43:40,706
You lied to me about that satellite.
752
00:43:43,527 --> 00:43:44,571
"Need to know", Ed.
753
00:43:44,596 --> 00:43:46,857
If you ever lie to me again, Chuck,
754
00:43:47,619 --> 00:43:49,123
and Homeland Security might just stumble
755
00:43:49,148 --> 00:43:52,188
over on of your little
"off the book" ops.
756
00:43:55,131 --> 00:43:56,993
Why did you push the Korean scenario?
757
00:43:57,133 --> 00:43:59,141
You said yourself it was a possibility.
758
00:43:59,175 --> 00:44:02,415
But unlikely. You know
something I don't, Chuck?
759
00:44:02,895 --> 00:44:06,452
Just do your job, General.
Let me do mine.
760
00:44:10,325 --> 00:44:13,133
Yes, sir. I-I just gave it new tires...
761
00:44:22,819 --> 00:44:24,593
- Henderson.
- Charlie? Nash here.
762
00:44:24,718 --> 00:44:26,311
I got a tip from my army source,
763
00:44:26,336 --> 00:44:28,436
units of the Salt Lake
City National Guard
764
00:44:28,461 --> 00:44:31,485
are suddenly being deployed for
a "training exercise related
765
00:44:31,510 --> 00:44:34,468
to immigration and border security."
766
00:44:34,671 --> 00:44:36,125
Odd thing is, according to my source,
767
00:44:36,150 --> 00:44:39,317
the order originated directly
from the office of Chuck Beeter.
768
00:44:39,453 --> 00:44:41,294
The director of the NSA
doesn't have the authority
769
00:44:41,319 --> 00:44:43,896
- to call out the National Guard.
- Fancy that.
770
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,922
Oh, also, something's happened
to my original source on Scoop.
771
00:44:46,947 --> 00:44:49,072
He left me some weird message
that cut out abruptly.
772
00:44:49,097 --> 00:44:50,586
If I-If I text you his particulars,
773
00:44:50,611 --> 00:44:51,783
can you pull the phone records,
774
00:44:51,808 --> 00:44:53,152
tell me where the call came from?
775
00:44:53,177 --> 00:44:54,402
Sure. I'll see what I can do.
776
00:44:54,427 --> 00:44:56,716
And you check in with me regular, Nash.
777
00:44:57,764 --> 00:44:59,105
And watch yourself.
778
00:45:05,936 --> 00:45:08,664
We're obviously dealing with
some kind of infectious agent,
779
00:45:08,689 --> 00:45:11,682
whether it's viral,
fungal, bacteriological,
780
00:45:11,707 --> 00:45:13,581
parasitic or prion, we just don't know.
781
00:45:15,123 --> 00:45:16,921
To complicate things, the
latest weather report
782
00:45:16,946 --> 00:45:18,767
indicates a possible Santa
Anna weather condition
783
00:45:18,792 --> 00:45:21,314
developing within the next 48 hours.
784
00:45:21,609 --> 00:45:24,065
Those winds could conceivably
sweep the contagion
785
00:45:24,090 --> 00:45:26,100
towards southern california.
786
00:45:26,492 --> 00:45:28,486
Charlie Henderson from NNT called
787
00:45:28,511 --> 00:45:30,684
about the Utah guard
rollout and the rumors
788
00:45:30,709 --> 00:45:33,365
that it originated out
of Beeter's office.
789
00:45:33,695 --> 00:45:36,290
Unbelievable. This place
leaks like a sieve.
790
00:45:36,315 --> 00:45:37,540
It's sooner than we might like,
791
00:45:37,565 --> 00:45:40,075
but not entirely unexpected.
792
00:45:40,248 --> 00:45:42,544
In any case, I think we
can stall Henderson.
793
00:45:43,004 --> 00:45:44,681
Maybe this would be a good opportunity
794
00:45:44,714 --> 00:45:48,022
to offer NNT an exclusive about
your re-election campaign.
795
00:45:48,461 --> 00:45:50,586
You know, kill two birds with one stone.
796
00:45:50,699 --> 00:45:52,059
Henderson is not the real problem.
797
00:45:52,084 --> 00:45:54,134
He can be leveraged, but Nash...
798
00:45:54,159 --> 00:45:57,346
Nash is different. Nash is a bulldog.
799
00:45:57,693 --> 00:45:59,127
Have you located his sources yet?
800
00:45:59,152 --> 00:46:01,357
He's gone to ground,
but we're closing in.
801
00:46:01,626 --> 00:46:04,088
The problem is, if Nash
gets in contact with Stone,
802
00:46:04,113 --> 00:46:05,198
there's gonna be no way
803
00:46:05,223 --> 00:46:07,599
to keep Project Scoop out of the press.
804
00:46:08,551 --> 00:46:10,324
Can't we just impose a gag order
805
00:46:10,359 --> 00:46:11,585
on the Wildfire team?
806
00:46:11,761 --> 00:46:14,057
That ain't gonna be pretty.
807
00:46:15,420 --> 00:46:18,137
Of course, sometimes these
communication systems
808
00:46:18,162 --> 00:46:20,548
suffer from mechanical failure.
809
00:46:21,483 --> 00:46:24,092
I say we go nuclear and
sterilize the whole area.
810
00:46:24,149 --> 00:46:25,807
Fortunately, you're not in charge.
811
00:46:26,037 --> 00:46:28,061
The final call, please
correct me if I'm wrong,
812
00:46:28,086 --> 00:46:29,194
is the President's.
813
00:46:29,304 --> 00:46:31,483
THE SATTELITE IS NOW AVAILABLE IN LAB 1.
814
00:46:31,902 --> 00:46:34,414
Dr. Stone, please contact
the communications officer.
815
00:46:35,569 --> 00:46:36,795
Dr. Noyce is right.
816
00:46:36,830 --> 00:46:38,888
Our job is to employ the
best science we can
817
00:46:38,913 --> 00:46:40,717
so the President has the
information he needs
818
00:46:40,742 --> 00:46:42,053
to make a decision.
819
00:46:42,078 --> 00:46:44,178
Now why don't you all get
started on the satellite?
820
00:46:44,203 --> 00:46:45,896
I'll be in in a minute.
821
00:46:55,264 --> 00:46:56,903
Call for dr. Stone.
822
00:46:56,984 --> 00:47:00,030
We're having a problem with
the communication system.
823
00:47:00,161 --> 00:47:02,467
Now we're okay within the lab,
824
00:47:02,713 --> 00:47:04,884
but I can't raise the outside at all.
825
00:47:05,013 --> 00:47:07,646
Computer, phones... nada.
826
00:47:19,923 --> 00:47:21,480
Okay.
827
00:47:21,771 --> 00:47:23,886
So we'll be entering the capsule
through the compartment door,
828
00:47:23,911 --> 00:47:27,407
which was originally removed
by Piedmont's late Fire Chief.
829
00:47:27,442 --> 00:47:28,513
I think it's safe to conclude
830
00:47:28,538 --> 00:47:30,413
that Andromeda was originally
inside the capsule,
831
00:47:30,438 --> 00:47:32,312
otherwise the citizens who recovered it
832
00:47:32,337 --> 00:47:34,246
would never have made
it back to town alive.
833
00:47:34,271 --> 00:47:36,747
What did Mancheck say the
satellite was doing?
834
00:47:36,794 --> 00:47:38,006
He didn't say.
835
00:47:39,232 --> 00:47:41,105
Apparently, we're
experiencing some kind of
836
00:47:41,130 --> 00:47:42,871
technical glitch within
our communication system.
837
00:47:42,896 --> 00:47:44,140
Glitch? I don't like glitch.
838
00:47:44,175 --> 00:47:46,199
All external computer
and communication lines
839
00:47:46,234 --> 00:47:48,169
are down, but I've been assured
840
00:47:48,194 --> 00:47:50,294
that they're gonna have them up
and running as soon as possible.
841
00:47:50,497 --> 00:47:52,185
Please, dr. Chou, continue.
842
00:47:52,536 --> 00:47:54,407
Uh, well, this is not a new satellite.
843
00:47:54,896 --> 00:47:57,351
I would say it's at least two
to three generations old.
844
00:47:57,386 --> 00:47:59,146
And from what I can
tell from the exterior,
845
00:47:59,171 --> 00:48:00,630
it wasn't designed for communications,
846
00:48:00,655 --> 00:48:02,529
navigations or surveillance.
847
00:48:02,699 --> 00:48:05,723
- In fact, what it appears to be is a
- ...Biocontainment vessel.
848
00:48:07,208 --> 00:48:08,321
Son of a bitch.
849
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,079
I gather this is bad?
850
00:48:10,266 --> 00:48:12,687
Well, it's very damn odd. It
means that it was designed
851
00:48:12,722 --> 00:48:14,631
to capture and retain
biological materials.
852
00:48:14,674 --> 00:48:16,774
Which means two things...
853
00:48:16,813 --> 00:48:19,704
This sattelite was not
accidentally contaminated.
854
00:48:19,922 --> 00:48:21,668
And the second thing?
855
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:23,854
Mancheck is lying.
856
00:48:24,031 --> 00:48:25,250
So it was what?
857
00:48:25,305 --> 00:48:27,483
Randomly collecting
bio samples in space?
858
00:48:27,508 --> 00:48:30,412
- What are the chances of that?
- Slim to none.
859
00:48:31,343 --> 00:48:33,252
Let's pop it open.
860
00:49:01,555 --> 00:49:03,837
Wait. Go back.
861
00:49:04,359 --> 00:49:05,634
Stop it.
862
00:49:06,053 --> 00:49:08,016
Zoom in.
863
00:49:11,537 --> 00:49:13,593
Could that material be Andromeda?
864
00:49:13,968 --> 00:49:15,851
That's still to be determined.
865
00:49:15,914 --> 00:49:17,328
If that's what knocked
the satellite down,
866
00:49:17,353 --> 00:49:19,062
it must have been moving at
a tremendous rate of speed
867
00:49:19,087 --> 00:49:20,205
or be incredibly heavy.
868
00:49:20,437 --> 00:49:21,497
How could that be?
869
00:49:21,522 --> 00:49:23,359
It didn't do that much
damage to the satellite.
870
00:49:24,165 --> 00:49:27,100
Maybe it has elastic qualities
we don't know about.
871
00:49:27,430 --> 00:49:29,483
For now, let's assume this is Andromeda.
872
00:49:29,897 --> 00:49:32,705
Bill and Charlene, you check
the pathology of this thing.
873
00:49:32,740 --> 00:49:34,553
See if you can figure out how it kills.
874
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,803
Dr. Noyce, you examine our survivors.
875
00:49:36,828 --> 00:49:38,076
Find out what kept them alive.
876
00:49:38,101 --> 00:49:40,912
Dr. Chou, you and I will test the
black substance in Andromeda
877
00:49:40,937 --> 00:49:43,366
for what conditions each
likes and dislikes.
878
00:49:43,499 --> 00:49:46,307
See if we can't ID their
nature and their structure.
879
00:50:04,457 --> 00:50:06,417
So, Sergeant George, you and
the men of bravo company
880
00:50:06,442 --> 00:50:09,251
have no idea then what this
sudden call-up is about.
881
00:50:09,276 --> 00:50:10,306
No, sir.
882
00:50:10,331 --> 00:50:11,761
They pretty much tell us to show up
883
00:50:11,786 --> 00:50:14,242
and we find out what the
deal is when we get there.
884
00:50:14,317 --> 00:50:15,679
Meanwhile, the Pentagon insists
885
00:50:15,704 --> 00:50:17,737
this sudden alert of the
Utah National Guard
886
00:50:17,762 --> 00:50:19,922
is nothing more than a
routine training exercise.
887
00:50:20,139 --> 00:50:22,134
No further details are forthcoming,
888
00:50:22,159 --> 00:50:24,542
including when this
deployment will be over.
889
00:50:24,796 --> 00:50:27,524
When have we heard that before?
890
00:50:37,455 --> 00:50:39,487
Computer, patient number one,
891
00:50:39,519 --> 00:50:43,191
according to documents found
on him, is Kyle Tobler...
892
00:50:43,216 --> 00:50:45,306
Male, 60 years old,
893
00:50:45,376 --> 00:50:48,214
undernourished, possibly anemic.
894
00:50:48,284 --> 00:50:50,690
Computer, has he
responded since arrival?
895
00:50:51,441 --> 00:50:55,019
AT 04:08 HOURS. THE SUBJECT
BECAME RESTLESS AND VOMITED.
896
00:50:55,167 --> 00:50:57,605
HE WAS GIVEN 1 MILLIGRAM OF ATIVAN I.V.
897
00:50:57,990 --> 00:50:59,753
Basolyte test results?
898
00:50:59,933 --> 00:51:00,949
POSITIVE.
899
00:51:01,041 --> 00:51:03,253
Kyle Tobler is a G.I. bleeder.
900
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,784
I want two units of whole
blood, plus plasma,
901
00:51:05,809 --> 00:51:07,175
and vitamin K for him
902
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,576
and a complete blood
workup on both patients.
903
00:51:10,291 --> 00:51:11,331
CONFIRMED.
904
00:51:11,385 --> 00:51:15,119
TWO UNITS WHOLE BLOOD, PLUS PLASMA
AND VITAMIN K FOR PATIENT TOBLER.
905
00:51:15,144 --> 00:51:17,097
AND COMPLETE BLOOD WORKUP
FOR BOTH PATIENTS.
906
00:51:17,168 --> 00:51:20,214
You're gonna be okay, sweetie.
I promise.
907
00:51:24,876 --> 00:51:26,173
Hey, Charlie. What's up?
908
00:51:26,198 --> 00:51:28,358
I've got some bad news
about your friend.
909
00:51:28,732 --> 00:51:30,284
He's dead.
910
00:51:30,395 --> 00:51:32,907
I'll text you the details in a moment.
911
00:51:33,216 --> 00:51:34,909
I'm sorry.
912
00:52:18,558 --> 00:52:20,251
Time... Ten seconds.
913
00:52:20,471 --> 00:52:22,050
Damn, this thing is lethal.
914
00:52:22,112 --> 00:52:24,920
And airborne if there was any doubt.
915
00:52:25,073 --> 00:52:27,062
Let's check it.
916
00:52:27,340 --> 00:52:30,800
Most John Does we get don't
drive a Harley Panhead.
917
00:52:32,408 --> 00:52:34,667
Lucky for him you remember that.
918
00:52:35,154 --> 00:52:36,800
Yeah.
919
00:52:37,018 --> 00:52:38,542
Lucky for him.
920
00:52:39,045 --> 00:52:40,909
This your friend?
921
00:52:42,419 --> 00:52:44,698
I don't know if you know anybody
in the family or anything,
922
00:52:44,723 --> 00:52:48,432
but, uh, if his bike's
available now, you know,
923
00:52:48,696 --> 00:52:50,525
I'd love to buy it.
924
00:52:56,230 --> 00:52:59,254
No harm in askin', right?
925
00:53:00,151 --> 00:53:02,095
Removing contaminated air.
926
00:53:30,256 --> 00:53:32,373
Dead animals are not infectious.
927
00:53:33,077 --> 00:53:35,482
That's an extremely unusual adaptation
928
00:53:35,507 --> 00:53:37,381
if that's what that is.
929
00:53:37,606 --> 00:53:40,248
Well, we know Andromeda
coagulates the blood,
930
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:41,709
but how does it enter the body?
931
00:53:41,734 --> 00:53:44,185
Through the lungs or the skin?
932
00:53:44,220 --> 00:53:46,169
We can radioactively tag
some blood proteins
933
00:53:46,194 --> 00:53:49,169
and scan the animals on
their initial exposures.
934
00:53:49,496 --> 00:53:51,290
Let's start with a rhesus.
935
00:53:51,653 --> 00:53:54,893
So you think Mancheck
deliberately isolated us?
936
00:53:55,193 --> 00:53:56,748
Let's just say,
937
00:53:56,850 --> 00:53:58,662
I wouldn't put it past him.
938
00:53:58,773 --> 00:54:01,232
- Have you told the others?
- I don't want them distracted.
939
00:54:01,257 --> 00:54:04,842
- There's so little time as it is.
- Why tell me?
940
00:54:07,210 --> 00:54:10,882
I guess because I needed
somebody to talk to,
941
00:54:10,979 --> 00:54:12,888
Somebody I trust.
942
00:54:15,327 --> 00:54:17,668
Mmm. Are you making any progress?
943
00:54:17,735 --> 00:54:19,722
Yes, the infant's blood work is normal,
944
00:54:19,747 --> 00:54:22,043
and Tobler's anemic, and
his pH is very acidic.
945
00:54:22,107 --> 00:54:23,549
I don't know why.
946
00:54:24,350 --> 00:54:26,386
Why don't you go ask him?
947
00:54:30,895 --> 00:54:33,683
- George, this is dr. Stone.
- Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
948
00:54:33,738 --> 00:54:35,814
We're having some kind of
communications problem down here
949
00:54:35,839 --> 00:54:37,894
and I need your help. Do you
got a cell phone that works?
950
00:54:37,919 --> 00:54:40,260
Yeah, my wife got me
this new Blackberry.
951
00:55:05,884 --> 00:55:07,235
Jack, it's Jeremy Stone.
952
00:55:07,260 --> 00:55:08,798
I need to talk to you. It's urgent.
953
00:55:09,074 --> 00:55:11,753
- I'll try to call back in one hour.
- Damn it!
954
00:55:53,354 --> 00:55:56,639
Aah! Who the hell are you?
955
00:55:57,928 --> 00:55:58,950
Where am I?
956
00:55:58,975 --> 00:56:00,358
I'm dr. Noyce.
957
00:56:00,383 --> 00:56:02,233
You were bleeding very badly internally,
958
00:56:02,258 --> 00:56:05,022
and we had to give you a transfusion.
959
00:56:05,826 --> 00:56:07,916
What happened in Piedmont?
960
00:56:08,201 --> 00:56:09,724
There was an outbreak of disease.
961
00:56:09,749 --> 00:56:12,002
That's why we brought you here.
962
00:56:12,925 --> 00:56:14,288
Am I contagious?
963
00:56:14,323 --> 00:56:16,034
We don't think so,
964
00:56:16,059 --> 00:56:18,355
but we don't want to take any chances.
965
00:56:33,266 --> 00:56:36,506
Initiating the scintillometer
and exposing the subject.
966
00:56:56,505 --> 00:56:58,630
Definitely inspired by the lungs,
967
00:56:58,655 --> 00:57:00,599
Andromeda then crosses
into the bloodstream
968
00:57:00,624 --> 00:57:03,146
and begins coagulation.
969
00:57:03,529 --> 00:57:05,274
But is that how it actually kills?
970
00:57:05,299 --> 00:57:07,937
Could it be a single cerebral clot?
971
00:57:10,484 --> 00:57:12,858
Maybe an anticoagulant
could stop this thing?
972
00:57:13,132 --> 00:57:14,937
Let's repeat with
something like heparin.
973
00:57:14,962 --> 00:57:18,069
Okay, I want to get these tissues
samples out to the lab first.
974
00:57:18,094 --> 00:57:20,912
Computer, sample and stain
with H&E and P.A.S.
975
00:57:21,342 --> 00:57:23,905
I also would like sections
of the nerve tissue stained
976
00:57:23,930 --> 00:57:26,135
with both Nissl and Cajal
gold preparations.
977
00:57:27,163 --> 00:57:28,726
The black material is artificial.
978
00:57:28,750 --> 00:57:31,272
What do you mean? A construct?
979
00:57:31,733 --> 00:57:33,929
Yeah, at first it appears to have
980
00:57:33,954 --> 00:57:36,560
a complex lattice... Like
microstructure of carbon fibers.
981
00:57:36,585 --> 00:57:39,983
Further analysis reveals a
structure of buckyballs.
982
00:57:43,352 --> 00:57:45,437
Well, that would explain how the contact
983
00:57:45,462 --> 00:57:48,351
drove the satellite out of
orbit without damaging it,
984
00:57:48,546 --> 00:57:50,788
but isn't this kind of
application still theoretical?
985
00:57:50,813 --> 00:57:52,860
Yeah. This is nanotechnology
lightyears ahead
986
00:57:52,885 --> 00:57:55,010
of anything anyone is doing right now.
987
00:57:55,108 --> 00:57:56,772
What about the other material?
988
00:58:08,706 --> 00:58:10,002
Did you see that?
989
00:58:11,753 --> 00:58:13,718
That must be our infectious agent.
990
00:58:13,801 --> 00:58:15,198
Computer, replay.
991
00:58:17,882 --> 00:58:20,252
That's Andromeda.
992
00:58:36,738 --> 00:58:38,370
Did anybody else make it?
993
00:58:38,549 --> 00:58:40,706
Just you and the baby.
994
00:58:46,186 --> 00:58:49,175
That's Sylvie. It's the Ritter kid.
995
00:58:50,307 --> 00:58:52,456
Not used to her being so quiet.
996
00:58:52,518 --> 00:58:54,126
She's one little yeller.
997
00:58:55,598 --> 00:58:58,182
Cries to beat the band.
998
00:58:59,518 --> 00:59:00,930
Nobody else made it?
999
00:59:01,152 --> 00:59:03,709
No, I'm afraid not.
1000
00:59:13,060 --> 00:59:14,826
This... This place is
giving me the creeps.
1001
00:59:14,851 --> 00:59:16,310
I want... I want to get out of here.
1002
00:59:16,335 --> 00:59:18,037
You're not well enough to go anywhere.
1003
00:59:18,062 --> 00:59:20,456
I know my rights! I... I... I'm
no damn terrorist.
1004
00:59:20,481 --> 00:59:22,357
You're in quarantine.
1005
00:59:26,693 --> 00:59:28,451
Well... Well, give me a cigarette then.
1006
00:59:28,476 --> 00:59:30,350
Sorry, no smoking.
1007
00:59:30,378 --> 00:59:33,095
Oh, yeah, I've heard
that bullshit before...
1008
00:59:33,490 --> 00:59:36,787
No smokin', no drinkin',
no mexican food.
1009
00:59:36,812 --> 00:59:38,459
What's the point of livin' like that?
It's damn boring.
1010
00:59:38,484 --> 00:59:40,615
You've been hospitalized
before for the bleeding?
1011
00:59:40,678 --> 00:59:41,764
Hell, yeah.
1012
00:59:42,232 --> 00:59:44,311
Spittin' up blood like Old Faithful.
1013
00:59:45,014 --> 00:59:47,623
Tell me I got an ulcer the
size of a grapefruit.
1014
00:59:47,692 --> 00:59:49,998
Did they give you any medication, Kyle?
1015
00:59:50,182 --> 00:59:53,467
They did, but I didn't
much like the taste of it.
1016
00:59:53,725 --> 00:59:55,146
So you went untreated.
1017
00:59:55,365 --> 00:59:56,787
What about the pain?
1018
00:59:56,812 --> 00:59:59,240
Uh, aspirin works just fine,
1019
00:59:59,517 --> 01:00:01,893
About a bottle a day
towards the end there,
1020
01:00:02,451 --> 01:00:04,365
plus a little squeeze.
1021
01:00:04,429 --> 01:00:05,701
"Squeeze"?
1022
01:00:06,810 --> 01:00:08,435
The pink lady,
1023
01:00:08,467 --> 01:00:11,095
red eye. You know, sterno.
1024
01:00:11,130 --> 01:00:13,115
Sterno, that's got methanol in it.
1025
01:00:13,140 --> 01:00:15,948
- Is that bad?
- It can blind you or kill you.
1026
01:00:16,565 --> 01:00:18,201
Well, it didn't kill me.
1027
01:00:19,537 --> 01:00:20,991
They all died,
1028
01:00:23,058 --> 01:00:24,600
but I didn't.
1029
01:00:29,681 --> 01:00:33,037
Kyle. Kyle, what happened in Piedmont?
1030
01:00:33,114 --> 01:00:34,678
What happened to you and
the others that night?
1031
01:00:34,703 --> 01:00:36,287
I don't want to talk about it.
1032
01:00:36,312 --> 01:00:37,748
It's very important.
1033
01:00:37,939 --> 01:00:40,712
Lots of lives depend on
what you might know.
1034
01:00:40,848 --> 01:00:42,810
Look, I don't know! I don't
want to talk about it.
1035
01:00:42,835 --> 01:00:44,170
Kyle,
1036
01:00:45,343 --> 01:00:47,287
What did you see that night?
1037
01:00:58,162 --> 01:01:01,482
It was Jeff Megan and Suzie Travers.
1038
01:01:01,822 --> 01:01:03,492
They found the damn thing.
1039
01:01:05,106 --> 01:01:06,481
They're just kids, really.
1040
01:01:06,506 --> 01:01:10,145
They... They brought it
to the fire station.
1041
01:01:10,364 --> 01:01:12,184
To the Chief, Hank Benedict,
1042
01:01:12,209 --> 01:01:15,637
'cause I hear he's an engineer
and knows lots of stuff.
1043
01:01:16,699 --> 01:01:18,449
The only reason I know is
'cause I was playin' poker
1044
01:01:18,474 --> 01:01:20,317
at the fire station... Me, Hank,
1045
01:01:20,342 --> 01:01:23,286
and Al Ritter who runs the gas station,
1046
01:01:23,417 --> 01:01:26,067
Herbie Block and Annie Dillon.
1047
01:01:26,309 --> 01:01:27,949
You think it's from outer space?
1048
01:01:28,301 --> 01:01:30,168
It fell from the sky, Annie.
1049
01:01:30,258 --> 01:01:32,383
You know what I mean. Is it alien?
1050
01:01:32,465 --> 01:01:35,168
Yeah, that's why it
says USA on the side.
1051
01:01:35,193 --> 01:01:36,851
You think aliens can't spell?
1052
01:01:36,876 --> 01:01:39,215
Probably just a weather satellite.
1053
01:01:39,363 --> 01:01:41,356
Yeah, that's what they
want you to think.
1054
01:01:41,407 --> 01:01:43,731
Have you ever heard of area 51?
1055
01:01:43,975 --> 01:01:45,887
You don't think that there
aren't all these secret
1056
01:01:45,912 --> 01:01:49,084
Government things that goes on
that none of us know about?
1057
01:01:49,177 --> 01:01:51,584
- What do you think, Hank?
- It's a satellite...
1058
01:01:51,772 --> 01:01:54,237
Weather or communications or something.
1059
01:01:54,388 --> 01:01:57,333
I'll make a few calls, and let
you know what I find out.
1060
01:01:57,733 --> 01:02:00,338
About a half hour later,
I'm gettin' a soda
1061
01:02:00,363 --> 01:02:02,237
from Al's gas station
1062
01:02:02,262 --> 01:02:04,638
because the squeeze makes
you kind of thirsty.
1063
01:02:04,884 --> 01:02:06,568
So you'd been drinking that day?
1064
01:02:06,630 --> 01:02:07,678
How did you feel?
1065
01:02:07,769 --> 01:02:09,967
A... A... A little dizzy,
1066
01:02:10,376 --> 01:02:12,536
My... My breath was kind of short on me.
1067
01:02:15,490 --> 01:02:17,193
My head!
1068
01:02:17,220 --> 01:02:20,028
Aah! My head!
1069
01:02:20,173 --> 01:02:21,542
Al?
1070
01:02:23,053 --> 01:02:24,701
Al?!
1071
01:02:26,503 --> 01:02:29,095
Hang on! Hang on, buddy!
1072
01:02:42,390 --> 01:02:43,507
Hey, Annie.
1073
01:02:43,532 --> 01:02:46,312
What's going on? What's
wrong with these people?
1074
01:02:46,655 --> 01:02:49,937
You got to burn 'em out. Don't you see?
It's the only way.
1075
01:02:50,312 --> 01:02:52,377
Annie, well, what...
1076
01:02:52,402 --> 01:02:53,557
Annie!
1077
01:02:53,665 --> 01:02:56,166
What... Hey, Annie!
1078
01:02:56,803 --> 01:02:58,268
Annie!
1079
01:03:09,796 --> 01:03:11,388
And then everything's quiet.
1080
01:03:13,104 --> 01:03:15,572
Then it's like the whole world is dead.
1081
01:03:17,042 --> 01:03:18,877
And that's when I saw the General,
1082
01:03:19,034 --> 01:03:22,424
Scott Arnold, a vet, steady as a rock.
1083
01:03:23,062 --> 01:03:24,800
You know what's happening, Kyle.
1084
01:03:24,825 --> 01:03:27,299
They've gotten under the wire.
They're inside the compound.
1085
01:03:27,324 --> 01:03:29,658
- I... I don't think that's it, General.
- Got to face facts, soldier.
1086
01:03:29,683 --> 01:03:32,752
You tell 'em back home
I did my best, okay?
1087
01:03:33,559 --> 01:03:35,455
I thought I'd gone crazy,
1088
01:03:35,580 --> 01:03:37,932
hallucinatin', too much pink lady maybe.
1089
01:03:37,991 --> 01:03:40,297
Hey! Hey! Hey, over here!
1090
01:03:40,660 --> 01:03:42,658
It's me! I'm here. Help me, man!
1091
01:03:42,683 --> 01:03:45,923
Help me, man! You got to help me!
1092
01:03:49,750 --> 01:03:51,262
No, no, no!
1093
01:03:55,003 --> 01:03:56,407
Help, help,
1094
01:03:56,541 --> 01:03:58,706
No, no, no, no!
1095
01:04:01,408 --> 01:04:02,665
Poor bastard.
1096
01:04:02,734 --> 01:04:05,658
So Tobler was acidotic because
of the methanol he was drinking.
1097
01:04:05,749 --> 01:04:08,596
It breaks down and becomes
formaldehyde and formic acid.
1098
01:04:08,695 --> 01:04:10,611
Plus he was taking a
bottle of aspirin a day.
1099
01:04:10,690 --> 01:04:12,104
That affected his breathing?
1100
01:04:12,149 --> 01:04:14,741
He had to breath rapidly to
blow off the carbon dioxide
1101
01:04:14,766 --> 01:04:17,080
and decrease the carbonic
acid in his body.
1102
01:04:17,209 --> 01:04:19,487
Well, maybe there's a way
to attack Andromeda in there.
1103
01:04:19,563 --> 01:04:21,151
No, the baby's pH is normal.
1104
01:04:21,176 --> 01:04:23,510
There's nothing unusual
about her except her colic.
1105
01:04:23,700 --> 01:04:26,119
- Charlene?
- Here's what we know so far.
1106
01:04:26,319 --> 01:04:28,877
Andromeda is approximately 1 micron,
1107
01:04:29,044 --> 01:04:32,322
the size of a single cell.
It's transmitted by air.
1108
01:04:32,622 --> 01:04:35,283
Dead organisms are not infectious.
1109
01:04:35,682 --> 01:04:37,861
Andromeda is inspired by its victim.
1110
01:04:37,971 --> 01:04:40,779
It crosses into the bloodstream
where it initiates coagulation.
1111
01:04:40,877 --> 01:04:42,440
Death occurs within seconds.
1112
01:04:42,682 --> 01:04:44,299
Now we tested anticoagulants,
1113
01:04:44,324 --> 01:04:46,057
but they don't affect its process.
1114
01:04:46,158 --> 01:04:48,022
So it cannot transmit from a corpse?
1115
01:04:48,203 --> 01:04:49,424
Yeah, strange, isn't it?
1116
01:04:49,449 --> 01:04:51,916
Andromeda kills men, kills all
mammals as far as we know
1117
01:04:51,941 --> 01:04:53,486
and then dies within the organism.
1118
01:04:53,511 --> 01:04:55,596
It shows no signs of
having adapted to mankind.
1119
01:04:55,659 --> 01:04:57,596
You know, maybe this
is just what it seems...
1120
01:04:57,621 --> 01:05:00,643
An alien life-form, the first
mankind has ever encountered.
1121
01:05:00,744 --> 01:05:03,854
So it's not cuddly like E.T.,
but there it is. Deal with it.
1122
01:05:03,879 --> 01:05:06,408
Who says it's natural?
It could be engineered.
1123
01:05:06,685 --> 01:05:09,061
Especially given what Tsi
discovered when he was looking
1124
01:05:09,086 --> 01:05:11,174
at the black material
alongside Andromeda.
1125
01:05:11,199 --> 01:05:13,676
Yeah, it's an extremely
advanced form of nanotechnology
1126
01:05:13,701 --> 01:05:16,725
called buckyballs, named after
the inventor Buckminster Fuller.
1127
01:05:16,774 --> 01:05:19,627
The molecule is form of carbon 60,
octahedral in shape,
1128
01:05:19,652 --> 01:05:22,143
with 60 atoms forming
the shape of a ball.
1129
01:05:22,433 --> 01:05:26,122
So if this black material
was a manufactured shell
1130
01:05:26,147 --> 01:05:27,806
containing Andromeda,
1131
01:05:27,831 --> 01:05:32,064
then what you're describing is
some kind of a biological bomb.
1132
01:05:32,159 --> 01:05:33,533
- Whoa!
- Why not?
1133
01:05:33,612 --> 01:05:35,629
It would be arrogant to
think that human beings
1134
01:05:35,654 --> 01:05:37,705
are the only creatures
sophisticated enough
1135
01:05:37,730 --> 01:05:38,832
to use bacterial warfare.
1136
01:05:38,857 --> 01:05:40,551
Why would you assume
alien origin at all?
1137
01:05:40,576 --> 01:05:42,848
Mancheck said there was a North
Korean satellite in the area.
1138
01:05:44,236 --> 01:05:46,642
If anyone was gonna
attack the United States,
1139
01:05:46,667 --> 01:05:48,759
why go through all the trouble
of sending a contagion
1140
01:05:48,784 --> 01:05:50,962
into space and hoping that
NASA will pick it up?
1141
01:05:51,072 --> 01:05:52,900
Why not simply bring it in
on a shipping container
1142
01:05:52,925 --> 01:05:55,953
like one of the thousands that
come in every day uninspected
1143
01:05:55,978 --> 01:05:59,594
because Homeland Security just doesn't
have enough resources to do the job?
1144
01:06:00,196 --> 01:06:03,150
And for that matter, why
use such an exotic bug
1145
01:06:03,175 --> 01:06:06,237
when plague, typhus or
smallpox would be just fine?
1146
01:06:06,307 --> 01:06:07,729
Well, you'd be the expert on that.
1147
01:06:07,754 --> 01:06:08,812
- Whoa!
- Easy, Keene.
1148
01:06:08,837 --> 01:06:11,073
Mancheck is a liar,
and you are a racist fool!
1149
01:06:11,117 --> 01:06:13,796
Yeah? How many died in
that outbreak in Shanghal?
1150
01:06:13,821 --> 01:06:16,315
That's enough, both of you.
1151
01:06:29,425 --> 01:06:30,545
It's growing?
1152
01:06:31,987 --> 01:06:33,278
That's right.
1153
01:06:33,313 --> 01:06:36,341
Now the first time it displayed
that behavior it was unprovoked.
1154
01:06:36,615 --> 01:06:39,577
So is what we just saw some kind
of nonspecific growth response
1155
01:06:39,612 --> 01:06:41,702
or a sentient reaction to injury?
1156
01:06:41,737 --> 01:06:43,357
Maybe it just doesn't like being poked?
1157
01:06:45,310 --> 01:06:47,137
I think we need to focus
more on structure,
1158
01:06:47,172 --> 01:06:49,046
what is Andromeda made of.
1159
01:06:49,081 --> 01:06:51,889
Bill, you and Charlene,
do an amino acid workup
1160
01:06:51,924 --> 01:06:53,818
While Tsi does a spectro-Analysis.
1161
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:55,345
I'd like to continue my exploration
1162
01:06:55,380 --> 01:06:57,122
of the black material.
1163
01:06:57,235 --> 01:07:00,395
That is, unless you think
I'm a security risk, Bill?
1164
01:07:00,786 --> 01:07:03,086
I trust you, Tsi. Why wouldn't I?
1165
01:07:03,435 --> 01:07:05,997
I know there's a link between
Kyle Tobler and Sylvie Ritter.
1166
01:07:06,083 --> 01:07:07,441
I want to continue to pursue that.
1167
01:07:07,748 --> 01:07:09,089
Let's get started.
1168
01:07:18,025 --> 01:07:20,481
I appreciate the lift, man.
Car just up and died on me.
1169
01:07:20,516 --> 01:07:22,094
No problem, man.
1170
01:07:22,129 --> 01:07:24,953
It's important to see your
family when they ship out.
1171
01:07:25,068 --> 01:07:28,273
You never know, know what I mean?
1172
01:07:28,417 --> 01:07:31,803
What happened in Shanghai?
1173
01:07:32,125 --> 01:07:33,974
It was a different time back then.
1174
01:07:34,547 --> 01:07:37,033
The international treaties on
biowarfare were toothless.
1175
01:07:37,321 --> 01:07:39,841
Every country, including
yours, was experimenting.
1176
01:07:40,774 --> 01:07:43,046
We were field testing
a weaponized version
1177
01:07:43,096 --> 01:07:46,120
of hemorrhagic smallpox
at an outdoor laboratory.
1178
01:07:48,226 --> 01:07:50,883
It proved much, uh,
hardier than we expected.
1179
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:53,992
A young girl in a fishing
boat 9 miles offshore
1180
01:07:54,039 --> 01:07:57,553
caught the disease, brought
it back to the city.
1181
01:07:57,588 --> 01:08:00,031
It killed 107 people,
1182
01:08:00,510 --> 01:08:03,670
30 of them children, before
we could contain it.
1183
01:08:08,392 --> 01:08:09,908
There were people in
both our governments
1184
01:08:09,933 --> 01:08:12,775
who were prepared to unleash
unimaginable horrors.
1185
01:08:14,509 --> 01:08:17,641
I like to think that in
the end reason prevailed,
1186
01:08:18,111 --> 01:08:21,467
but maybe we were just very, very lucky.
1187
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:23,850
Jeremy! Jeremy!
1188
01:08:25,872 --> 01:08:27,184
You're not gonna believe this.
1189
01:08:27,209 --> 01:08:29,248
Andromeda doesn't have DNA.
1190
01:08:29,301 --> 01:08:30,716
What is it, some kind of prion?
1191
01:08:30,741 --> 01:08:32,565
No proteins, not even any amino acids.
1192
01:08:32,889 --> 01:08:34,115
Charlene was right.
1193
01:08:34,486 --> 01:08:37,483
There has never been anything like
Andromeda, anywhere on the earth.
1194
01:08:37,543 --> 01:08:40,954
This is terra incognita. This is alien.
1195
01:08:44,641 --> 01:08:47,414
Hey, that's good eatin'.
1196
01:08:47,457 --> 01:08:50,446
- Appreciate the food, mr. Nash.
- My pleasure, Sergeant.
1197
01:08:50,769 --> 01:08:53,105
Didn't know they were embedding
journalists on this operation.
1198
01:08:53,130 --> 01:08:55,222
Pretty much standard operating
procedure these days.
1199
01:08:55,247 --> 01:08:58,055
Just bringin' the war on terror home.
1200
01:08:58,500 --> 01:09:00,283
- Nash.
- Jeremy Stone.
1201
01:09:00,308 --> 01:09:02,181
Jeremy Stone... I've been
trying to reach you, man.
1202
01:09:02,206 --> 01:09:04,394
Where the hell are you? You sound
like you're at the bottom of a well.
1203
01:09:04,484 --> 01:09:05,745
You can say that.
1204
01:09:05,783 --> 01:09:09,011
Listen, why is the guard
deploying in southern Utah?
1205
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:10,742
They're calling it an exercise,
1206
01:09:10,777 --> 01:09:12,987
but the orders originated with the NSA.
1207
01:09:13,035 --> 01:09:15,442
Possibly because some
kind of secret satellite
1208
01:09:15,467 --> 01:09:17,572
code-named Project Scoop
came down in the desert.
1209
01:09:17,597 --> 01:09:21,011
- What is Project Scoop?
- No idea, but it's Army.
1210
01:09:21,675 --> 01:09:23,675
This is being run by our old
friend General Mancheck.
1211
01:09:23,700 --> 01:09:25,979
Let me tell you, when that sucker
came down, it killed a lot of people.
1212
01:09:26,004 --> 01:09:28,265
I mean, no one's saying
infectious outbreak, but...
1213
01:09:28,290 --> 01:09:30,026
And... And how do you know that?
1214
01:09:30,296 --> 01:09:32,480
I can't give details, but
it cost my source his life.
1215
01:09:33,282 --> 01:09:34,944
And it wasn't any virus
killed him either,
1216
01:09:34,969 --> 01:09:37,857
unless microbes routinely
pack 9 millimeter slugs.
1217
01:09:38,493 --> 01:09:39,905
These guys are not
messing around, Jeremy.
1218
01:09:39,930 --> 01:09:42,358
Now I'm being followed. At least, I was.
1219
01:09:42,393 --> 01:09:45,762
Are those guard units carrying
any biohazard here with them?
1220
01:09:46,481 --> 01:09:47,894
I don't know, but I can check.
1221
01:09:47,929 --> 01:09:50,082
All right. Well, pay close
attention to their equipment.
1222
01:09:50,107 --> 01:09:51,261
I got to go, Jack.
1223
01:09:51,286 --> 01:09:53,505
Wait, wait, wait. I showed you mine.
You show me yours.
1224
01:09:57,237 --> 01:10:00,045
It's a biological infection
called Andromeda.
1225
01:10:00,276 --> 01:10:01,563
That's all I can say for now.
1226
01:10:01,588 --> 01:10:03,759
When I know more, I'll call you first.
I promise.
1227
01:10:03,876 --> 01:10:05,954
Look, in the meantime, see
what else you can find out
1228
01:10:05,979 --> 01:10:08,556
about Project Scoop, and I'll
call you back in three hours.
1229
01:10:08,673 --> 01:10:10,438
Listen, Jack, be careful,
1230
01:10:10,473 --> 01:10:12,518
and I'm not just talking about the Army
1231
01:10:12,553 --> 01:10:15,361
- and whoever else is following you.
- Andromeda.
1232
01:10:15,396 --> 01:10:19,033
It's lethal, beyond comprehension.
1233
01:10:23,137 --> 01:10:24,979
Tuesday, Marty, pot roast.
1234
01:10:25,276 --> 01:10:26,558
It's just coffee, Sally.
1235
01:10:26,593 --> 01:10:29,185
You all right, Marty? You look
kind of green around the gills.
1236
01:10:29,220 --> 01:10:31,561
Flu or somethin', my head's killin' me.
1237
01:10:31,596 --> 01:10:34,153
- You have any aspirin?
- Yeah, sure.
1238
01:10:37,057 --> 01:10:38,245
They're all out to get me.
1239
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:39,939
Marty, you're hurting me.
1240
01:10:49,061 --> 01:10:51,949
Please, Marty, please.
1241
01:10:55,541 --> 01:10:57,264
General, there has been an incident
1242
01:10:57,289 --> 01:10:59,163
40 miles south of Piedmont.
1243
01:10:59,270 --> 01:11:01,372
A Utah sheriff named Wills
has shot three people
1244
01:11:01,397 --> 01:11:03,005
and killed himself.
1245
01:11:03,030 --> 01:11:05,486
Here's the raw network feed.
1246
01:11:11,741 --> 01:11:13,981
And here's the security camera.
1247
01:11:16,650 --> 01:11:17,765
Please, Marty, please,
1248
01:11:18,348 --> 01:11:22,417
Please.
1249
01:11:23,314 --> 01:11:25,951
- If it's Andromeda...
- It is.
1250
01:11:26,196 --> 01:11:28,024
I don't know how Wills
escaped quarantine.
1251
01:11:28,586 --> 01:11:29,797
Willis could have
passed through Piedmont
1252
01:11:29,822 --> 01:11:32,313
the night of the infection
before the quarantine went up.
1253
01:11:32,915 --> 01:11:34,001
Have you isolated these bodies
1254
01:11:34,026 --> 01:11:36,402
- and whoever worked the crime scene?
- Already done, General.
1255
01:11:37,849 --> 01:11:39,213
Mancheck.
1256
01:11:39,256 --> 01:11:42,496
I have a message from dr. Stone
regarding Project Scoop.
1257
01:11:43,351 --> 01:11:45,768
Unless communication is restored fully
1258
01:11:45,801 --> 01:11:47,379
to the lab,
1259
01:11:47,435 --> 01:11:50,243
Jack Nash will go public
with all the details
1260
01:11:50,268 --> 01:11:51,955
live on NNT.
1261
01:11:52,047 --> 01:11:54,207
You have ten minutes to comply.
1262
01:11:58,051 --> 01:11:59,779
What happened?
1263
01:12:03,579 --> 01:12:05,739
Stone knows about Project Scoop.
1264
01:12:11,060 --> 01:12:13,436
Put Wildfire back online.
1265
01:12:13,461 --> 01:12:14,631
Get me Stone.
1266
01:12:15,895 --> 01:12:17,860
Yes, General.
1267
01:12:32,756 --> 01:12:35,243
Come on... You deliberately isolated us.
1268
01:12:35,268 --> 01:12:37,485
And you lied about the purpose
for the satellite, General.
1269
01:12:37,620 --> 01:12:39,680
We had a technical problem,
and the problem got solved.
1270
01:12:39,705 --> 01:12:41,969
Now we want the full
facts on Project Scoop
1271
01:12:41,994 --> 01:12:43,438
and everything associated with it,
1272
01:12:43,463 --> 01:12:46,446
or I swear to god every press
agency from "The New York Times"
1273
01:12:46,471 --> 01:12:49,892
to some podunk podcaster in
Nebraska will get this story.
1274
01:12:51,913 --> 01:12:54,073
NASA astronomers
discovered a singularity
1275
01:12:54,098 --> 01:12:56,119
- in our solar system.
- A singularity?
1276
01:12:56,242 --> 01:12:58,666
A theoretical distortion in
the space/time continuum.
1277
01:12:58,691 --> 01:13:00,017
No longer theoretical...
1278
01:13:00,042 --> 01:13:02,207
There was a sudden and
inexplicable appearance
1279
01:13:02,232 --> 01:13:04,885
of a tiny source emitting
extremely powerful bursts
1280
01:13:04,910 --> 01:13:07,793
of light and energy... In
short, a wormhole.
1281
01:13:08,598 --> 01:13:10,817
Now we're still in the process
of analyzing that data,
1282
01:13:10,842 --> 01:13:13,332
but physicists have theorized since 1935
1283
01:13:13,357 --> 01:13:15,733
that traversable wormholes
could function as portals
1284
01:13:15,758 --> 01:13:17,934
between distant parts of the galaxy.
1285
01:13:17,970 --> 01:13:20,471
Project Scoop was one
of several attempts
1286
01:13:20,496 --> 01:13:23,356
to explore this phenomenon,
and in this case,
1287
01:13:23,381 --> 01:13:25,301
to collect samples of living organisms.
1288
01:13:25,918 --> 01:13:27,520
Now we're not sure
exactly what happened,
1289
01:13:27,545 --> 01:13:30,569
but on approach, the satellite
became erratic and came down.
1290
01:13:31,404 --> 01:13:34,172
Shortly thereafter, the wormhole, or...
1291
01:13:34,197 --> 01:13:36,907
whatever the hell it was, closed.
1292
01:13:37,351 --> 01:13:39,172
Well, why in god's name
did you withhold this?
1293
01:13:39,197 --> 01:13:42,751
We have wasted valuable time, time we
don't have, flailing about in the dark.
1294
01:13:42,926 --> 01:13:44,977
Can you imagine the panic,
news of an event like this
1295
01:13:45,002 --> 01:13:48,179
would have caused? It was
strictly need-to-know.
1296
01:13:48,273 --> 01:13:50,283
Need to cover your ass.
1297
01:13:50,389 --> 01:13:51,906
Now why would the army's bio-Defense
1298
01:13:51,931 --> 01:13:53,554
be covertly collecting samples?
1299
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:55,437
Maybe shopping for lethal material
1300
01:13:55,462 --> 01:13:56,999
that wouldn't be covered by any existing
1301
01:13:57,024 --> 01:13:58,466
or future biowarfare agreements?
1302
01:13:58,552 --> 01:14:00,891
What we did, whatever you
think of our motives,
1303
01:14:00,916 --> 01:14:02,843
the problem facing us
right now is Andromeda,
1304
01:14:02,868 --> 01:14:05,492
- and it's getting worse by the minute.
- What do you mean?
1305
01:14:05,580 --> 01:14:07,492
Well, the President, largely
on your recommendation,
1306
01:14:07,517 --> 01:14:09,502
opted for quarantining the area
1307
01:14:09,527 --> 01:14:11,607
instead of calling in a
limited nuclear strike,
1308
01:14:11,632 --> 01:14:13,281
and now we've already had a breach.
1309
01:14:13,306 --> 01:14:16,241
I just got word of an event
outside the quarantine zone
1310
01:14:16,266 --> 01:14:17,578
that sounds like Andromeda.
1311
01:14:17,603 --> 01:14:19,984
Now I've got that area locked
up tight, but I need to know,
1312
01:14:20,009 --> 01:14:21,531
what have you got to fight this?
1313
01:14:21,613 --> 01:14:23,623
Nothing at this point,
not a single thing.
1314
01:14:23,923 --> 01:14:26,562
Andromeda is completely unlike
anything we have ever seen.
1315
01:14:26,587 --> 01:14:29,247
It would appear to be alien
in its source except...
1316
01:14:29,272 --> 01:14:30,937
Except for the material
found along with it,
1317
01:14:30,962 --> 01:14:33,679
which we think might be a
casing or a delivery system.
1318
01:14:33,874 --> 01:14:35,771
It's built from materials
common to earth
1319
01:14:35,796 --> 01:14:39,172
but utilizes a nanotechnology
that so far is only theoretical.
1320
01:14:39,409 --> 01:14:40,960
So what are you saying then?
1321
01:14:40,985 --> 01:14:43,497
Is Andromeda of this
world, or is it alien?
1322
01:14:43,659 --> 01:14:45,533
We can't say, either way,
1323
01:14:45,583 --> 01:14:48,255
but it's extremely unlikely
that Andromeda is the creation
1324
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:49,796
of any kind of terrestrial power.
1325
01:14:49,821 --> 01:14:52,601
Whatever the source, General, we
need to nuke Piedmont right now.
1326
01:14:52,626 --> 01:14:55,343
- I have to say, I agree with Bill.
- I think it's still too risky.
1327
01:14:55,368 --> 01:14:57,141
Well, what the hell else can we do?
1328
01:15:09,051 --> 01:15:11,523
Wildfire has effectively ruled
out Andromeda as originating
1329
01:15:11,555 --> 01:15:14,192
with any known
enemy... Foreign or domestic.
1330
01:15:14,538 --> 01:15:16,116
Are we under attack or not?
1331
01:15:16,141 --> 01:15:19,863
Absolutely, but from whom or what,
1332
01:15:20,348 --> 01:15:22,389
we can't say with certainty.
1333
01:15:22,414 --> 01:15:24,911
What, you're saying this
is an alien attack, Chuck?
1334
01:15:25,452 --> 01:15:27,361
Yes, sir.
1335
01:15:29,407 --> 01:15:31,154
Wherever Andromeda comes from,
1336
01:15:31,506 --> 01:15:33,709
it dies in Piedmont, understand?
1337
01:15:33,734 --> 01:15:35,506
We're ready when you are, mr. President.
1338
01:15:35,538 --> 01:15:37,334
Are the guardsmen on the
ground going to be safe?
1339
01:15:37,366 --> 01:15:38,960
The action will be very limited.
1340
01:15:38,991 --> 01:15:41,209
We'll pull back all forward
observation posts 5 miles.
1341
01:15:41,234 --> 01:15:43,882
None of our men will be in
harm's way, mr. President.
1342
01:15:49,545 --> 01:15:50,687
Very well.
1343
01:15:51,655 --> 01:15:53,147
Do it.
1344
01:15:53,220 --> 01:15:54,405
5 miles from the target,
1345
01:15:54,430 --> 01:15:56,687
I want you to let loose
and climb like hell.
1346
01:16:04,293 --> 01:16:06,547
Theoretically you should be
able to avoid the aftershock,
1347
01:16:06,572 --> 01:16:09,086
but no one's actually dropped one
of these things since Nagasaki.
1348
01:16:10,812 --> 01:16:12,082
Blair.
1349
01:16:12,107 --> 01:16:14,293
You may authorize the launch when ready.
1350
01:16:14,318 --> 01:16:15,557
Yes, sir.
1351
01:16:24,345 --> 01:16:26,289
- It's a go.
- Sir.
1352
01:16:30,908 --> 01:16:32,312
What exactly are we lookin' for?
1353
01:16:32,871 --> 01:16:35,429
Trespassers, little green men,
1354
01:16:35,454 --> 01:16:37,112
who knows.
1355
01:16:37,137 --> 01:16:38,453
Tear it down, fellas.
1356
01:16:38,820 --> 01:16:40,070
They're pullin' us back.
1357
01:16:40,383 --> 01:16:43,304
- You got to be kidding me.
- You heard me. Let's go.
1358
01:16:43,690 --> 01:16:45,125
What is that?
1359
01:16:45,250 --> 01:16:47,320
Some kind of eagle, sir.
1360
01:16:50,147 --> 01:16:53,351
- It's got somethin' in its claws.
- What is that thing?
1361
01:16:53,376 --> 01:16:56,013
Whoa, whoa, you can't
shoot an eagle, Sergeant.
1362
01:17:00,025 --> 01:17:01,718
It's a rat.
1363
01:17:02,133 --> 01:17:04,129
He's bombing us with a rat.
1364
01:17:04,492 --> 01:17:06,505
No, way.
1365
01:17:09,103 --> 01:17:12,121
- Oh, my head!
- You all right?
1366
01:17:13,359 --> 01:17:15,698
- What's up, man?
- Oh, it hurts.
1367
01:17:23,643 --> 01:17:24,978
He's dead.
1368
01:17:25,003 --> 01:17:26,478
This isn't happening.
1369
01:17:26,503 --> 01:17:28,644
Oh, man, this isn't happening.
1370
01:17:29,971 --> 01:17:31,448
It's the end of days.
1371
01:17:32,460 --> 01:17:34,403
The mark of the beast.
1372
01:17:34,459 --> 01:17:37,010
- Cut that out right now.
- The seals are broken!
1373
01:17:37,184 --> 01:17:39,940
Hell in a handbasket,
it's where we're goin'!
1374
01:17:40,053 --> 01:17:42,178
Put your gun down!
1375
01:18:15,833 --> 01:18:18,956
If Mancheck hadn't
kept us in the dark...
1376
01:18:19,575 --> 01:18:21,348
We just ran out of time.
1377
01:18:23,535 --> 01:18:25,554
There are just some
things that don't add up.
1378
01:18:26,031 --> 01:18:28,788
Chou's casing theory
doesn't... Doesn't feel right.
1379
01:18:29,321 --> 01:18:31,993
Something's missing, but I... I
just can't put my finger on it.
1380
01:18:32,375 --> 01:18:35,961
DR. STONE, THE CULTURING DATA YOU
REQUESTED HAS BEEN ACQUIRED.
1381
01:19:08,431 --> 01:19:11,420
♪ Come home, baby ♪
1382
01:19:11,611 --> 01:19:13,952
Afternoon, private Carson.
1383
01:19:14,417 --> 01:19:17,657
Jack Nash, NNT. Great job
you fellas are doin'.
1384
01:19:18,075 --> 01:19:19,517
Can I help you?
1385
01:19:19,739 --> 01:19:22,982
Those, uh, Stryker carriers of
yours are really something.
1386
01:19:23,007 --> 01:19:24,474
Are those chemical/biological units?
1387
01:19:24,621 --> 01:19:26,566
Yes, sir, pretty much top-of-the-line.
1388
01:19:26,839 --> 01:19:30,238
Now what's that bio trace M3 sampler?
1389
01:19:30,292 --> 01:19:33,245
Uh, it's used to collect
biological samples.
1390
01:19:33,428 --> 01:19:36,236
We don't normally travel with
this kind of, uh, equipment.
1391
01:19:36,357 --> 01:19:38,620
Why do you suppose they need
something like that for?
1392
01:19:38,693 --> 01:19:40,818
Uh, why are you here?
1393
01:19:53,948 --> 01:19:56,108
You're approaching a restricted area!
1394
01:19:57,917 --> 01:19:59,645
Stop your vehicle immediately!
1395
01:20:01,898 --> 01:20:03,546
It's a suicide bomber!
1396
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,286
Open fire!
1397
01:20:33,685 --> 01:20:36,052
Charlie, I'm at... I'm at
desert HQ, for the guard.
1398
01:20:36,077 --> 01:20:37,841
Some kind of suicide
bomber just attacked.
1399
01:20:37,967 --> 01:20:40,068
I just sent photos. Also I just found...
1400
01:20:40,151 --> 01:20:41,517
General Michaelson, you ever heard of
1401
01:20:41,542 --> 01:20:43,231
- freedom of the press?
- Take mr. Nash to the stockade.
1402
01:20:43,256 --> 01:20:44,535
I'm a civilian, General.
1403
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:45,905
He was illegally on my base,
1404
01:20:45,930 --> 01:20:47,645
which has just come
under terrorist attack.
1405
01:20:47,670 --> 01:20:49,743
Care to go on the record
about that, General?
1406
01:20:49,768 --> 01:20:50,993
Northcom, this is Alpha One.
1407
01:20:51,018 --> 01:20:52,826
I will enter the release
zone in 30 seconds.
1408
01:20:53,748 --> 01:20:55,236
Roger, Alpha One.
1409
01:20:55,261 --> 01:20:56,853
Arm missile.
1410
01:20:57,194 --> 01:20:59,354
Roger that. Arming missile.
1411
01:21:01,623 --> 01:21:04,135
Missile is armed and ready to go.
1412
01:21:07,145 --> 01:21:09,540
These are the results of
our growth matrix program
1413
01:21:09,565 --> 01:21:11,394
on Andromeda.
1414
01:21:13,971 --> 01:21:16,447
The particular growth medium
doesn't seem to be a factor.
1415
01:21:16,605 --> 01:21:18,674
But atmosphere and light are crucial.
1416
01:21:18,762 --> 01:21:21,010
Darkness and infrared inhibit
growth, likewise for oxygen.
1417
01:21:21,035 --> 01:21:24,190
nitrogen is a wash.
Ultraviolet light stimulates,
1418
01:21:24,215 --> 01:21:25,775
so does carbon dioxide.
1419
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:28,031
So Andromeda thrives
best in an atmosphere
1420
01:21:28,056 --> 01:21:30,830
of 100% carbon dioxide lit
by ultraviolet light.
1421
01:21:31,119 --> 01:21:34,763
Looks to me almost like a
pure conversion system.
1422
01:21:35,075 --> 01:21:38,531
Computer, post all results for
all closed growth systems.
1423
01:21:40,329 --> 01:21:43,705
You're right... No excretions,
no waste, amazing.
1424
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,506
What effect does radiation have?
1425
01:21:47,190 --> 01:21:50,646
Computer, check all irradiated samples.
1426
01:21:52,178 --> 01:21:54,925
My god, it eats it up.
1427
01:21:55,043 --> 01:21:57,851
Nuking Andromeda is not gonna kill it.
1428
01:21:57,977 --> 01:22:00,022
It'll make it grow exponentially.
1429
01:22:06,133 --> 01:22:09,237
Give me General Mancheck.
This is a code red emergency.
1430
01:22:10,655 --> 01:22:11,951
Entering release zone.
1431
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:16,629
Dewitt. Urgent message from Stone.
1432
01:22:16,654 --> 01:22:18,401
Get the President to
shut down that launch.
1433
01:22:18,426 --> 01:22:20,745
Mr. President, message from Wildfire.
We have to abort.
1434
01:22:20,770 --> 01:22:21,807
Hold fire.
1435
01:22:21,832 --> 01:22:23,321
30 seconds to target.
1436
01:22:25,650 --> 01:22:28,851
- Mr. President.
- Dr. Stone, what do you mean, abort?
1437
01:22:28,895 --> 01:22:31,948
Andromeda eats radiation. If you
nuke it, you won't kill it.
1438
01:22:31,973 --> 01:22:34,116
- You will grow it.
- Northcom.
1439
01:22:34,356 --> 01:22:35,749
General Blair, this is President Scott.
1440
01:22:35,774 --> 01:22:38,648
I am ordering you to abort
the mission immediately.
1441
01:22:38,684 --> 01:22:40,558
Stand down, Alpha One. Do not launch.
1442
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:42,584
I say again, cancel sequence
and return to base.
1443
01:22:42,901 --> 01:22:44,559
Roger that, Northcom.
1444
01:22:44,584 --> 01:22:47,688
This is alpha one. I am shutting
down the launch sequence.
1445
01:22:59,237 --> 01:23:01,397
Confirming... Missile is disarmed.
1446
01:23:05,101 --> 01:23:07,009
Oh, thank goodness.
1447
01:23:07,486 --> 01:23:09,465
Wow, that was close.
1448
01:23:20,265 --> 01:23:23,942
Northcom, I am having some kind
of mechanical problem here.
1449
01:23:30,185 --> 01:23:32,638
Northcom, this aircraft
is not responding.
1450
01:23:32,696 --> 01:23:35,368
Northcom, please come in. I
cannot control this craft.
1451
01:23:36,090 --> 01:23:39,013
Oh, my... There went the visor.
1452
01:23:39,038 --> 01:23:40,783
Northcom, my visor is
disintegrating. The...
1453
01:23:41,595 --> 01:23:43,599
I can't... I can't breathe.
I can't breathe.
1454
01:23:43,624 --> 01:23:45,794
I can't get air. I... I'm
losing control here, sir.
1455
01:23:45,819 --> 01:23:47,728
I cannot get any air. I need...
1456
01:23:52,473 --> 01:23:54,110
Northcom, please come...
1457
01:23:54,215 --> 01:23:56,647
The missile is rearmed!
1458
01:23:59,535 --> 01:24:01,092
It's disintegrating!
1459
01:24:01,275 --> 01:24:02,815
Its almost falling apart!
1460
01:24:02,867 --> 01:24:05,992
I have to bail out!
1461
01:24:17,495 --> 01:24:22,495
