00:28:46,658 --> 00:28:48,460
[Svea] I haven't left the island
in three years,

540
00:28:48,594 --> 00:28:50,096
but it feels like 30.

541
00:28:53,032 --> 00:28:54,700
I don't know
how you stay sane.

542
00:28:54,834 --> 00:28:56,435
What makes you think I have?

543
00:29:02,574 --> 00:29:03,910
Is he always so...

544
00:29:12,451 --> 00:29:14,821
[Svea] Look, I'm not making
an excuse for him,

545
00:29:16,055 --> 00:29:17,790
because there's-there's none.

546
00:29:20,059 --> 00:29:22,594
He lost his wife
and son four years ago,

547
00:29:22,728 --> 00:29:24,130
and it was bad.

548
00:29:28,134 --> 00:29:30,569
He never really accepted
what happened.

549
00:29:31,270 --> 00:29:32,671
What did happen?

550
00:29:33,205 --> 00:29:34,406
Well,

551
00:29:35,474 --> 00:29:37,109
there was a house fire.

552
00:29:37,643 --> 00:29:41,147
[Svea] He was in his lab
in an outbuilding 50 feet away,

553
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,749
self medicated,
probably drunk.

554
00:29:45,117 --> 00:29:48,120
Lucy? She was at a sleepover.

555
00:29:49,956 --> 00:29:51,623
But his wife and son...

556
00:29:52,558 --> 00:29:55,194
[computer voice] Welcome
to Littlemouth's signal room.

557
00:29:55,327 --> 00:29:57,596
[Svea] Perry wasn't even aware
there was a fire

558
00:29:57,729 --> 00:29:59,298
until the police woke him up.

559
00:30:02,668 --> 00:30:04,503
[Annika] Is he dangerous?

560
00:30:07,273 --> 00:30:09,541
[Svea] He knows humans
matter in theory,

561
00:30:10,910 --> 00:30:12,778
but not in practice.

562
00:30:16,782 --> 00:30:18,384
Just ask Lucy.

563
00:30:29,695 --> 00:30:34,300
[pensive music]

564
00:30:35,801 --> 00:30:41,440
- [helicopter droning]
- [pensive music continues]

565
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:49,381
[Charlie] Thank you.

566
00:30:52,018 --> 00:30:55,922
Lucy, I want you
to watch this.

567
00:30:56,188 --> 00:30:58,757
[Sam] This is a little piece
of forbidden magic

568
00:30:58,891 --> 00:31:02,428
that I learned
in the bazaars of Morocco

569
00:31:02,561 --> 00:31:07,866
from wise men who knew
how to turn steel into thin air.

570
00:31:08,534 --> 00:31:11,503
So, I want you
to count to three,

571
00:31:11,637 --> 00:31:13,705
then I want you
to blow on the napkin.

572
00:31:13,839 --> 00:31:17,309
Okay. One, two, three.

573
00:31:17,743 --> 00:31:19,111
[banging]

574
00:31:19,378 --> 00:31:20,279
[giggling]

575
00:31:20,412 --> 00:31:21,513
Wait, wait, wait. Let me see.

576
00:31:21,647 --> 00:31:22,748
How'd you do that? Wait.

577
00:31:22,881 --> 00:31:24,083
[Perry] Go to bed.

578
00:31:29,755 --> 00:31:32,058
- Here, let me help.
- You got school in the morning.

579
00:31:32,191 --> 00:31:33,759
- Go to bed.
- Thank you.

580
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:35,727
Good night, sweetheart.

581
00:31:36,862 --> 00:31:37,930
Good night.

582
00:31:38,730 --> 00:31:39,966
Good night, Lucy.

583
00:31:44,536 --> 00:31:45,938
You didn't eat much.

584
00:31:48,407 --> 00:31:50,642
I-I've never had goat before.

585
00:31:51,777 --> 00:31:54,780
[Sam] Okay. First impressions?

586
00:31:55,714 --> 00:31:57,316
[Charlie] Yeah, right.

587
00:31:57,449 --> 00:32:01,320
Uh, well, I think
it's completely legit.

588
00:32:01,453 --> 00:32:03,755
I mean, I've gone through
six months of his logs,

589
00:32:03,889 --> 00:32:04,991
and every single time

590
00:32:05,124 --> 00:32:06,425
I tried to find some
other explanation for it,

591
00:32:06,558 --> 00:32:07,926
he'd already disproved it.

592
00:32:08,060 --> 00:32:10,462
I mean, we're witnessing
actual alien chatter.

593
00:32:10,596 --> 00:32:11,964
We need to report this.

594
00:32:12,298 --> 00:32:13,832
What? To who?

595
00:32:13,966 --> 00:32:15,801
The IAA has guidelines
on post-detection.

596
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:18,770
Do you want to have about
a dozen space agencies

597
00:32:18,904 --> 00:32:20,772
with all the bureaucrats
down here

598
00:32:20,906 --> 00:32:23,275
clusterfucking this thing
for the next decade?

599
00:32:23,409 --> 00:32:25,011
[Charlie] I mean, Sam,
I totally get it,

600
00:32:25,144 --> 00:32:26,012
and you're not wrong.

601
00:32:26,145 --> 00:32:27,779
However, Annika has a point.

602
00:32:27,913 --> 00:32:29,648
I mean, we're not
fucking around anymore.

603
00:32:29,781 --> 00:32:32,318
This is like a solid seven
on the RIO scale.

604
00:32:32,451 --> 00:32:34,153
Oh, for Christ sakes, Charlie.

605
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:36,455
- You built quantum satellites.
- What?

606
00:32:36,588 --> 00:32:38,124
I thought you of all people

607
00:32:38,257 --> 00:32:39,791
would just want to run
with this thing.

608
00:32:39,925 --> 00:32:40,759
I-I do.

609
00:32:40,892 --> 00:32:42,194
Look, we discovered it.

610
00:32:42,894 --> 00:32:44,096
It's ours.

611
00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:45,364
[Charlie]
Come on, that's fucked up.

612
00:32:45,497 --> 00:32:47,333
I mean, what if-if
I discovered Pluto

613
00:32:47,466 --> 00:32:49,168
I can just screw with it
any way I want to?

614
00:32:49,801 --> 00:32:51,670
Billionaires, they've taken
over space exploration

615
00:32:51,803 --> 00:32:54,106
because they have more
resources than entire nations.

616
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:55,641
And I'm not exactly A-OK

617
00:32:55,774 --> 00:32:57,843
with some galactic
dick measuring contest

618
00:32:57,976 --> 00:32:59,778
where a few billionaires
get to determine

619
00:32:59,911 --> 00:33:01,447
the fate of all of humanity.

620
00:33:01,580 --> 00:33:04,816
Sam, listening is one thing,
but talking back?

621
00:33:05,817 --> 00:33:07,819
The risks of that
are mind-boggling.

622
00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:11,723
[Annika] We don't know
if they're peaceful or hostile.

623
00:33:11,857 --> 00:33:12,858
And you're talking about

624
00:33:12,991 --> 00:33:15,561
sending a signal
the way they do.

625
00:33:15,694 --> 00:33:19,665
They'll know we're here
immediately from anywhere.

626
00:33:19,798 --> 00:33:22,234
You didn't say if you liked it.

627
00:33:25,003 --> 00:33:26,338
The goat.

628
00:33:29,041 --> 00:33:31,810
Yeah, uh, [clears throat]
it was fine.

629
00:33:32,478 --> 00:33:35,481
Now, we've spent six months
trying to decipher it

630
00:33:35,614 --> 00:33:38,084
and we still don't know
if they talk in calculus

631
00:33:38,217 --> 00:33:41,420
or interstellar Sanskrit
or in swirls of colour.

632
00:33:41,553 --> 00:33:42,754
Let me try.

633
00:33:42,888 --> 00:33:45,224
That kind of thing
might take centuries to crack.

634
00:33:45,891 --> 00:33:47,093
Give me a week.

635
00:33:51,130 --> 00:33:52,698
A week, that's all I ask.

636
00:33:53,165 --> 00:33:55,201
[Perry] I hate goats.

637
00:33:58,670 --> 00:34:01,707
You know, they pair goats
with, uh, thoroughbreds.

638
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,343
They call them
companion animals.

639
00:34:05,244 --> 00:34:07,379
You see, horses don't like
to be left on their own.

640
00:34:07,513 --> 00:34:09,081
They're herd animals,
and they, uh,

641
00:34:09,215 --> 00:34:10,382
well, they get very lonely.

642
00:34:10,516 --> 00:34:15,121
So the breeders will put a goat
in the horse pen

643
00:34:15,254 --> 00:34:18,224
to keep it settled
and manageable and docile.

644
00:34:18,357 --> 00:34:22,461
But the, uh,
the entire dynamic is...

645
00:34:23,262 --> 00:34:24,663
is very unnatural.

646
00:34:24,796 --> 00:34:27,433
First, you've taken a horse out
of its natural environment,

647
00:34:27,566 --> 00:34:29,601
and then you paper
over this perversion

648
00:34:29,735 --> 00:34:31,970
by forcing a companion on it.

649
00:34:32,104 --> 00:34:33,439
But some horses

650
00:34:35,274 --> 00:34:36,375
are different.

651
00:34:36,508 --> 00:34:37,609
They prefer solitude,

652
00:34:37,743 --> 00:34:42,214
and they see the goat
as an intruder.

653
00:34:43,415 --> 00:34:44,750
An invader.

654
00:34:45,551 --> 00:34:47,486
And so they'll do
what any animal would do

655
00:34:47,619 --> 00:34:49,054
when it feels threatened.

656
00:34:49,955 --> 00:34:50,989
I mean,

657
00:34:53,058 --> 00:34:55,227
horses don't even eat meat.

658
00:34:56,027 --> 00:34:59,931
But they will chew clean
through a goat's neck.

659
00:35:02,434 --> 00:35:03,602
Imagine that.

660
00:35:05,637 --> 00:35:07,273
And you know
what the owner does?

661
00:35:09,708 --> 00:35:10,842
Just buy us another goat.

662
00:35:10,976 --> 00:35:12,278
All right, I think
that's fucking enough.

663
00:35:12,411 --> 00:35:13,679
[Perry] We're not waiting!

664
00:35:15,881 --> 00:35:18,250
Not a week! Not a day!

665
00:35:18,584 --> 00:35:20,319
[Perry] You fix my hardware.

666
00:35:20,452 --> 00:35:22,521
You fix my software.

667
00:35:22,654 --> 00:35:25,157
My schedule, or I'm done!

668
00:35:30,629 --> 00:35:33,599
It's not the first time that
he's threatened to take his ball

669
00:35:33,732 --> 00:35:34,700
and go home.

670
00:35:34,833 --> 00:35:36,235
He's an unstable man.

671
00:35:36,368 --> 00:35:38,470
Yeah, well, it's all we can do
to keep him together with meds

672
00:35:38,604 --> 00:35:39,671
and duct tape.

673
00:35:42,073 --> 00:35:45,544
So I guess you realize the
other reason you're both here.

674
00:35:46,111 --> 00:35:48,680
[Sam] The moment
that Perry is not functional.

675
00:35:52,017 --> 00:35:53,519
[Charlie] We get it.

676
00:35:53,819 --> 00:35:55,221
We're the replacements.

677
00:36:00,326 --> 00:36:04,363
So I will get you
your week, Annika.

678
00:36:05,331 --> 00:36:08,600
And I will smooth things
over with Perry tomorrow.

679
00:36:09,034 --> 00:36:10,236
All right?

680
00:36:25,016 --> 00:36:30,188
[waves crashing]

681
00:36:30,322 --> 00:36:32,224
[Annika]
I'm worried that Perry's right.

682
00:36:33,459 --> 00:36:36,528
I think the only thing
that we can do is turn it on

683
00:36:37,062 --> 00:36:39,731
and let them know that we're
listening and hope they help.

684
00:36:39,865 --> 00:36:42,834
And that is
extremely dangerous.

685
00:36:45,304 --> 00:36:46,405
Maybe.

686
00:36:46,838 --> 00:36:48,340
But what would they want
from us?

687
00:36:48,474 --> 00:36:49,875
Resources.

688
00:36:50,008 --> 00:36:52,077
[Charlie] Nope. This universe
is crammed full of resources.

689
00:36:52,210 --> 00:36:54,880
And you and I both know
that our little tiny speck here

690
00:36:55,013 --> 00:36:56,948
of the Milky Way
is kind of a resource desert.

691
00:36:57,082 --> 00:36:58,183
Keep going.

692
00:36:58,317 --> 00:36:59,851
They could see us
as a threat.

693
00:36:59,985 --> 00:37:01,219
No, no.

694
00:37:01,353 --> 00:37:03,054
Look, you got the tech
that they got.

695
00:37:03,188 --> 00:37:05,791
You think they give a shit
about our stupid iPhones

696
00:37:05,924 --> 00:37:07,526
or our dumb smart bombs?

697
00:37:07,659 --> 00:37:08,694
Come on.

698
00:37:08,827 --> 00:37:09,961
Food.

699
00:37:10,095 --> 00:37:11,196
[Charlie] Us?

700
00:37:13,532 --> 00:37:15,801
I wouldn't touch me
with a 10 foot fork.

701
00:37:15,934 --> 00:37:17,235
[Annika chuckling]

702
00:37:20,105 --> 00:37:23,409
[Charlie] Whichever way I-I try
to game this whole thing out,

703
00:37:25,110 --> 00:37:27,212
I can't find anything
to be afraid of.

704
00:37:28,113 --> 00:37:29,615
I can think of so many.

705
00:37:30,416 --> 00:37:32,083
[Annika] Life is fragile.

706
00:37:33,118 --> 00:37:34,786
Fear keeps us safe.

707
00:37:35,086 --> 00:37:36,288
All right.

708
00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:42,794
[Charlie] Annika, our job
is to know the unknown.

709
00:37:42,928 --> 00:37:44,463
But now you don't want
to embrace it?

710
00:37:45,130 --> 00:37:46,898
You can't have it both ways.

711
00:37:49,701 --> 00:37:50,936
[interrogator] Dr. Kask,

712
00:37:51,069 --> 00:37:52,771
why didn't you stop
Mr. Kaminsky

713
00:37:52,904 --> 00:37:55,307
from initializing
Littlemouth that evening?

714
00:37:55,874 --> 00:37:57,409
[Annika] He never told me

715
00:37:57,543 --> 00:37:59,778
because he knew
I'd try to stop him.

716
00:37:59,911 --> 00:38:01,447
[interrogator] He didn't
consider the possibility

717
00:38:01,580 --> 00:38:03,815
that this alien
intelligence might be hostile?

718
00:38:06,318 --> 00:38:09,521
[Annika] Charlie doesn't believe
intelligence can be hostile.

719
00:38:12,057 --> 00:38:14,693
For him,
intelligence doesn't waste.

720
00:38:16,395 --> 00:38:17,963
It learns.

721
00:38:23,101 --> 00:38:24,035
From mistakes.

722
00:38:24,169 --> 00:38:26,838
From mutations.

723
00:38:26,972 --> 00:38:29,341
From curious
expressions in nature.

724
00:38:31,109 --> 00:38:32,544
What do they want?

725
00:38:34,413 --> 00:38:37,048
What do we want
when we observe an ant colony

726
00:38:37,182 --> 00:38:38,984
halfway around the world?

727
00:38:42,287 --> 00:38:47,926
[suspenseful music]

728
00:38:50,328 --> 00:38:52,030
[Annika VO]
So, Charlie was always going

729
00:38:52,163 --> 00:38:53,899
to unlock Littlemouth.

730
00:38:57,669 --> 00:38:59,004
Initialize.

731
00:38:59,137 --> 00:39:00,639
[computer voice] Initializing.

732
00:39:00,772 --> 00:39:02,374
[Annika VO] Because he believed
no harm would come of it.

733
00:39:05,210 --> 00:39:07,713
[wondrous music]

734
00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:10,382
[computer voice]
Initiation sequence successful.

735
00:39:12,884 --> 00:39:16,087
[interrogator] But you didn't
believe that, did you, Doctor?

736
00:39:16,221 --> 00:39:21,860
[suspenseful music swells]

737
00:39:23,161 --> 00:39:24,996
[Charlie on speaker]
Uh, hey, Perry?

738
00:39:26,197 --> 00:39:27,265
Perry?

739
00:39:27,966 --> 00:39:30,201
Well, uh, Perry,
you should, uh...

740
00:39:31,703 --> 00:39:33,505
you should know
that I-I fixed it.

741
00:39:34,339 --> 00:39:36,007
We can talk back now.

742
00:39:45,216 --> 00:39:48,454
[computer voice] Welcome
to Littlemouth's signal room.

743
00:40:03,735 --> 00:40:05,737
Get down here. Ten minutes.

744
00:40:07,272 --> 00:40:08,774
[Perry] Lowest level.

745
00:40:13,445 --> 00:40:15,447
It's time to meet Littlemouth.

746
00:40:20,285 --> 00:40:21,487
[helicopter droning]

747
00:40:21,620 --> 00:40:23,221
[buzzing]

748
00:40:23,354 --> 00:40:28,660
[helicopter droning]

749
00:40:28,794 --> 00:40:31,162
[voicemail voice] You have
reached the voicemail box of...

750
00:40:31,296 --> 00:40:32,498
[Sam on voicemail]
Sam Houston.

751
00:40:32,631 --> 00:40:34,766
[voicemail voice]
Please leave a message. [beep]

752
00:40:36,868 --> 00:40:38,336
He said he'd wait.

753
00:40:42,407 --> 00:40:44,009
[computer voice] Level C.

754
00:40:47,312 --> 00:40:48,680
Take your time?

755
00:40:52,618 --> 00:40:54,452
[Annika]
Charlie tell me you didn't.

756
00:40:54,586 --> 00:41:00,225
[mysterious music]

757
00:41:03,461 --> 00:41:08,466
[Perry] At 1:24 AM
Littlemouth turns on.

758
00:41:08,834 --> 00:41:11,136
Perry, I object to this
on so many levels.

759
00:41:11,269 --> 00:41:13,705
[Perry] But you won't do
anything about it, will you?

760
00:41:14,940 --> 00:41:18,476
So what you can do is check for
data variations when we go live.

761
00:41:18,610 --> 00:41:19,945
Uh, what are you...

762
00:41:20,078 --> 00:41:21,146
what are you going to say?

763
00:41:21,813 --> 00:41:22,881
Hello.

764
00:41:24,916 --> 00:41:26,017
How?

765
00:41:31,590 --> 00:41:33,191
Of all the data points,

766
00:41:33,324 --> 00:41:37,395
one sequence repeated itself
at a marginally greater rate.

767
00:41:37,596 --> 00:41:39,531
[Perry] Littlemouth
will repeat that sequence

768
00:41:39,665 --> 00:41:43,034
and send it between here
and the antenna.

769
00:41:44,269 --> 00:41:45,871
But you don't even know
what that sequence means.

770
00:41:46,004 --> 00:41:47,338
[Perry] Well, does an infant
have any idea

771
00:41:47,472 --> 00:41:50,341
what its first fumblings
at language mean? No.

772
00:41:50,475 --> 00:41:52,243
But they simply mimic
those more developed.

773
00:41:52,377 --> 00:41:53,745
- But the-
- Does the parent have any idea

774
00:41:53,879 --> 00:41:54,880
what the child means?

775
00:41:55,013 --> 00:41:56,715
No, but they know
what the child is saying.

776
00:41:57,816 --> 00:42:00,752
They're saying,
"I'm alive and I'm listening."

777
00:42:04,289 --> 00:42:08,259
[Perry] Yet though we babble,
we do so mathematically.

778
00:42:08,393 --> 00:42:11,663
We will use
two universal constants.

779
00:42:11,797 --> 00:42:14,666
The speed of light
will be the unit of measurement.

780
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,201
And primes,

781
00:42:16,334 --> 00:42:18,036
we will repeat
the code ten times.

782
00:42:18,169 --> 00:42:20,672
The first interval will be two
times the speed of light.

783
00:42:20,806 --> 00:42:22,207
And the final interval,
therefore,

784
00:42:22,340 --> 00:42:25,911
will be the tenth prime 29
times the speed of light.

785
00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:29,781
[Annika] You're saying a lot
more than just hello.

786
00:42:29,915 --> 00:42:31,149
[Perry] Yes.

787
00:42:31,282 --> 00:42:33,551
We're saying, "We've heard
you and we're logical."

788
00:42:34,753 --> 00:42:36,287
And, "We're here."

789
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:38,890
Yes, that's the idea.

790
00:42:39,390 --> 00:42:40,926
[buzzing]

791
00:42:41,059 --> 00:42:43,394
[Perry] By the way,
Sam won't stop it.

792
00:42:44,362 --> 00:42:45,430
There's no kill switch.

793
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:47,265
And even if he could,
he never would.

794
00:42:47,398 --> 00:42:51,136
He's blinded by hubris in one
eye and glory in the other.

795
00:42:52,838 --> 00:42:55,440
Anything else
from the little goats?

796
00:43:02,347 --> 00:43:03,548
Yeah.

797
00:43:04,082 --> 00:43:05,116
Let's do it.

798
00:43:05,550 --> 00:43:06,384
What?

799
00:43:06,517 --> 00:43:07,986
I'm sorry, I-I gotta see this.

800
00:43:10,455 --> 00:43:11,790
[Charlie] Perry, you know,
you-you should, uh,

801
00:43:11,923 --> 00:43:12,991
you should say something.

802
00:43:13,124 --> 00:43:15,326
Like a quote
for posterity or something.

803
00:43:15,460 --> 00:43:17,162
What, like, "One small step"?

804
00:43:17,295 --> 00:43:19,931
or, "I am become Death,
destroyer of worlds"?

805
00:43:20,298 --> 00:43:21,566
I mean, something.

806
00:43:21,700 --> 00:43:23,234
Considering
what's about to happen. It's...

807
00:43:23,368 --> 00:43:24,836
Nothing is about to happen.

808
00:43:24,970 --> 00:43:26,137
That's the entire point.

809
00:43:27,038 --> 00:43:28,940
[Perry]
There's no war of the worlds.

810
00:43:30,876 --> 00:43:33,011
There's no grand enlightenment.

811
00:43:33,144 --> 00:43:35,180
[machine whirring]

812
00:43:35,313 --> 00:43:36,848
Just a thundering silence.

813
00:43:36,982 --> 00:43:39,517
[machine whirring]

814
00:43:39,651 --> 00:43:41,186
This is about insignificance.

815
00:43:41,319 --> 00:43:44,289
This is about
our smallness laid bare.

816
00:43:44,422 --> 00:43:49,961
There'll be no response
because we simply do not matter.

817
00:43:50,095 --> 00:43:52,798
Not our work, not our deeds.

818
00:43:52,931 --> 00:43:55,166
Or our mistakes.

819
00:43:55,300 --> 00:43:56,501
[machine whirring]

820
00:43:56,634 --> 00:43:58,003
So there's your fucking quote.

821
00:43:58,136 --> 00:43:59,437
[machine whirring]

822
00:43:59,570 --> 00:44:01,639
If it doesn't matter,
why build this?

823
00:44:01,773 --> 00:44:04,275
[machine whirring]

824
00:44:04,409 --> 00:44:05,711
To prove it.

825
00:44:05,844 --> 00:44:08,113
[machine whirring swells]

826
00:44:08,246 --> 00:44:09,380
[countdown beeping]

[machine whirring]

830
00:44:24,930 --> 00:44:26,231
Ta-da!

831
00:44:28,433 --> 00:44:29,300
There you go.

832
00:44:29,434 --> 00:44:32,570
Nothing. As predicted. Oof.

833
00:44:38,143 --> 00:44:40,145
[Sam] So, when's it happening?

834
00:44:40,278 --> 00:44:41,312
[Annika on phone]
Five minutes ago.

835
00:44:41,446 --> 00:44:42,814
[Sam] Really? And?

836
00:44:42,948 --> 00:44:44,249
[Annika on phone] And I'm done!

837
00:44:44,382 --> 00:44:46,651
[Sam on phone] Whoa, Annika,
uh, look, don't...

838
00:44:46,785 --> 00:44:48,086
[static buzzing]

839
00:44:50,655 --> 00:44:53,558
[loud clunking]

840
00:44:54,492 --> 00:44:55,560
Whoa.

841
00:44:56,962 --> 00:44:58,263
Whah?

842
00:44:59,564 --> 00:45:02,500
[siren wailing]

843
00:45:07,072 --> 00:45:08,606
Uh...

844
00:45:11,376 --> 00:45:14,079
[whirring]

845
00:45:14,212 --> 00:45:16,214
[computer voice]
Backup power on.

846
00:45:25,490 --> 00:45:27,058
System offline.

847
00:45:27,192 --> 00:45:31,963
- [siren wailing]
- [tense dramatic music]

848
00:45:32,097 --> 00:45:34,699
Uh, Perry, Perry,
you should shut it off.

849
00:45:34,833 --> 00:45:36,267
Perry, shut-shut it off!

850
00:45:36,401 --> 00:45:37,435
- Shut it down!
- Shh!

851
00:45:37,568 --> 00:45:42,473
[machine whirring loudly]

852
00:45:42,607 --> 00:45:48,246
[machine whirring down]

853
00:45:51,082 --> 00:45:56,321
[soft dramatic music]

854
00:46:01,927 --> 00:46:03,228
Annika, I got it.

855
00:46:03,594 --> 00:46:05,496
[Annika]
Why'd you turn it on, Charlie?

856
00:46:05,630 --> 00:46:06,564
[Charlie]
Just hold on a sec.

857
00:46:06,697 --> 00:46:08,466
[sensor-pad buzzing]

858
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,169
You need to come see this.

859
00:46:14,039 --> 00:46:16,174
[News Anchor VO] Officials have
yet to offer an explanation

860
00:46:16,307 --> 00:46:17,542
for the six seconds

861
00:46:17,675 --> 00:46:19,978
that interrupted almost
all global electronic

862
00:46:20,111 --> 00:46:21,646
and satellite communication.

863
00:46:21,779 --> 00:46:25,016
There are unconfirmed reports
of loss of life as hospitals,

864
00:46:25,150 --> 00:46:28,253
traffic signals
and aircraft have lost power.

865
00:46:28,386 --> 00:46:29,988
[Retired General VO]
Well, we can't rule out

866
00:46:30,121 --> 00:46:31,823
this is of military origin.

867
00:46:32,157 --> 00:46:34,125
A test of some kind,
if you like.

868
00:46:34,259 --> 00:46:35,260
Yeah, the satellites
are all down.

869
00:46:35,393 --> 00:46:37,328
These are
just analog broadcasts.

870
00:46:38,696 --> 00:46:40,531
[NASA Engineer VO]
We at NASA, we're at a loss.

871
00:46:40,665 --> 00:46:43,268
Whatever it is, it extends
beyond the Earth's atmosphere

872
00:46:43,401 --> 00:46:46,337
because it's knocked out
all high-orbit satellites.

873
00:46:46,671 --> 00:46:49,040
[News Reporter 1] Is this
possibly extraterrestrial?

874
00:46:49,174 --> 00:46:50,608
[News Reporter 2] Power went out
for eight minutes-

875
00:46:50,741 --> 00:46:52,010
This is Perry?

876
00:46:53,478 --> 00:46:54,679
Yeah.

877
00:46:55,847 --> 00:46:57,615
[News Reporter 1] The power
went out for 8 minutes

878
00:46:57,748 --> 00:46:59,284
and 19.48 seconds.

879
00:46:59,417 --> 00:47:01,286
What that means exactly,
we don't know at this time.

880
00:47:01,419 --> 00:47:03,488
Charlie, they talked back.

881
00:47:04,189 --> 00:47:05,290
What do you mean?

882
00:47:05,423 --> 00:47:07,325
The power goes out,
and exactly 8 minutes,

883
00:47:07,458 --> 00:47:10,128
19.48 seconds later,
it comes back on.

884
00:47:10,962 --> 00:47:12,563
[Annika]
What do you think that means?

885
00:47:14,632 --> 00:47:15,466
Whoa.

886
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:16,902
So what?

887
00:47:17,035 --> 00:47:18,636
That's the exact amount
of time that it takes sunlight

888
00:47:18,769 --> 00:47:20,005
to get to Earth.

889
00:47:20,138 --> 00:47:22,140
They waited and they responded
in a universal constant.

890
00:47:22,273 --> 00:47:23,474
We showed them we understand.

891
00:47:23,608 --> 00:47:24,809
