00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,630
- [Reporter] With president Helen Colton
8
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:24,740
arriving for the G7 Summit in Brussels,
9
00:02:24,740 --> 00:02:26,030
the crisis in the Ukraine
10
00:02:26,030 --> 00:02:27,680
will be the main issue discussed.
11
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:30,570
The other six leaders taking part
12
00:02:30,570 --> 00:02:32,750
will also address issues on trade security
13
00:02:32,750 --> 00:02:34,340
and climate change.
14
00:02:34,340 --> 00:02:35,970
This will be the first G7 Summit
15
00:02:35,970 --> 00:02:37,800
hosted by the European Union.
16
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,890
Originally, a G8 Summit was to take place
17
00:02:39,890 --> 00:02:42,870
in Sochi, Russia, but
with that nation's invasion
18
00:02:42,870 --> 00:02:45,160
and annexation of the
Crimea in Ukraine,
19
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,560
the decision was made to
expel Russia from this summit
20
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,280
and move it to Brussels.
21
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,380
With Russia, President Colton must manage
22
00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:52,940
this diplomatic falling out
23
00:02:52,940 --> 00:02:55,600
as the United States relies
on Russia's space program
24
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,350
to ferry astronauts to the
International Space Station.
25
00:02:59,981 --> 00:03:01,599
(door opening)
26
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:02,487
(footsteps thumping)
27
00:03:02,487 --> 00:03:03,590
- [President Colton] Do we have any idea what he wants?
28
00:03:03,590 --> 00:03:07,010
- [Elisabeth] No. Just wanted, more
like demanded a meeting.
29
00:03:07,010 --> 00:03:09,307
- And he flew from Colorado to Brussels?
30
00:03:09,307 --> 00:03:10,657
- Well, it must be important.
31
00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:12,853
- Bill?
32
00:03:12,853 --> 00:03:13,686
- Yes, Madam President.
33
00:03:13,686 --> 00:03:14,950
- I need a moment.
34
00:03:14,950 --> 00:03:17,533
(upbeat music)
35
00:03:21,010 --> 00:03:22,780
- [Major Sampson] You want to start with this one, sir?
36
00:03:22,780 --> 00:03:25,030
- [General Reager] Yes. And the rest can
follow in this order.
37
00:03:26,140 --> 00:03:27,410
- Coffee, Major?
38
00:03:27,410 --> 00:03:30,056
- Oh no. Thank you,
sir. I am fully leaded.
39
00:03:30,056 --> 00:03:32,410
(papers flipping)
40
00:03:32,410 --> 00:03:35,123
Sir, do you think she'll believe us?
41
00:03:36,441 --> 00:03:39,097
- Believe? Well, that's a good question.
42
00:03:39,097 --> 00:03:43,271
But no matter what she believes
it won't change the facts.
43
00:03:43,271 --> 00:03:44,610
Have you met the president?
44
00:03:44,610 --> 00:03:45,670
- No, sir. I haven't.
45
00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:47,580
I almost did when she
came to inspect Vandenberg
46
00:03:47,580 --> 00:03:48,850
last month.
47
00:03:48,850 --> 00:03:52,410
- Ah yes. Her surprise base inspections.
48
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,430
They aren't going as well as you'd think
49
00:03:54,430 --> 00:03:55,350
- Sir?
50
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:56,183
- Oh, forget it.
51
00:03:59,430 --> 00:04:00,970
Just a word of advice.
52
00:04:00,970 --> 00:04:03,110
Colton uses Seward as a Pit Bull.
53
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:05,290
If she asks you a direct question,
54
00:04:05,290 --> 00:04:07,400
you give her a complete answer.
55
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,610
The last thing you wanna do
56
00:04:08,610 --> 00:04:10,110
is get into a debate with her.
57
00:04:10,110 --> 00:04:11,220
Trust me.
58
00:04:11,220 --> 00:04:12,150
- Understood, sir.
59
00:04:12,150 --> 00:04:13,297
Well, anyone else-
60
00:04:13,297 --> 00:04:14,990
(door opening)
61
00:04:14,990 --> 00:04:17,538
- Excuse me. Who are you?
62
00:04:17,538 --> 00:04:18,371
(door shutting)
63
00:04:18,371 --> 00:04:22,290
- [Cedric Yonah] You must be General
Reager and Major Sampson.
64
00:04:22,290 --> 00:04:23,910
- This is a closed door meeting.
65
00:04:23,910 --> 00:04:26,210
- Yes. The door is closed.
66
00:04:26,210 --> 00:04:29,070
I'm Cedric Yonah and
this is James Griffin.
67
00:04:29,070 --> 00:04:33,300
- Well, excuse me, Mr. Yonah,
what is your purpose here?
68
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,170
- General, when I was
advised at this meeting,
69
00:04:35,170 --> 00:04:37,410
my colleague and I were asked to attend.
70
00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:39,140
- And who was that?
71
00:04:39,140 --> 00:04:39,973
- Who was, what?
72
00:04:39,973 --> 00:04:42,120
- Who asked you to attend?
73
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,560
- General, Major, let's no
get off on the wrong foot,
74
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,637
shall we?
75
00:04:46,637 --> 00:04:48,580
You know as well as I, that on occasion,
76
00:04:48,580 --> 00:04:50,943
outside experts are called in to assist.
77
00:04:52,825 --> 00:04:55,408
(door opening)
78
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:58,426
- Madam President.
79
00:04:58,426 --> 00:04:59,510
(door shutting)
80
00:04:59,510 --> 00:05:02,020
- General Reager, I haven't seen you
81
00:05:02,020 --> 00:05:03,950
since that Navstar
launch of Cape Canaveral.
82
00:05:03,950 --> 00:05:05,060
How's the Directorate?
83
00:05:05,060 --> 00:05:08,310
- As always, Madam President, 100%.
84
00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:10,940
Oh, I'd like you to meet
Major Ellen Sampson.
85
00:05:10,940 --> 00:05:12,320
- Ah, Major Sampson, a pleasure.
86
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,477
- Likewise, Madam President.
87
00:05:13,477 --> 00:05:14,760
- And where were you stationed?
88
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,830
- Space and Missile Systems, El Segundo.
89
00:05:16,830 --> 00:05:18,810
- Ah, I should figure when old
John here called a meeting,
90
00:05:18,810 --> 00:05:20,340
that space would factor into it.
91
00:05:20,340 --> 00:05:21,173
Welcome.
92
00:05:21,173 --> 00:05:22,513
- Thank you, Madam President.
93
00:05:22,513 --> 00:05:24,210
- Forgive me Madam President,
94
00:05:24,210 --> 00:05:27,050
but I thought this was going
to be a closed meeting.
95
00:05:27,050 --> 00:05:30,640
- Oh, my dear General, you know
my policy, always a witness
96
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,230
or in this case, an expert or two.
97
00:05:33,230 --> 00:05:34,760
And of course, you both
know Elisabeth Seward,
98
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,740
my National Security Advisor.
99
00:05:36,740 --> 00:05:37,573
- Elisabeth.
100
00:05:37,573 --> 00:05:38,406
- Ma'am.
101
00:05:38,406 --> 00:05:39,790
- General, Major.
102
00:05:39,790 --> 00:05:42,390
Elisabeth, perhaps you could
introduce our other two guests,
103
00:05:42,390 --> 00:05:43,223
although it looked like
104
00:05:43,223 --> 00:05:45,960
you were all exchanging
pleasantries when we walked in.
105
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,880
- Of a sort.
106
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,620
- General, Major, this is Cedric Yonah,
107
00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:53,050
science attache to the
president and James Griffin,
108
00:05:53,050 --> 00:05:55,890
who was with JPL and now the
Shinar Center of Science.
109
00:05:55,890 --> 00:05:58,090
- Oh yes, the DC think
tank behind the upgrades
110
00:05:58,090 --> 00:06:00,082
to the Deep Space Network.
111
00:06:00,082 --> 00:06:01,360
- The very one, Major.
112
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,780
No point in launching satellites
113
00:06:02,780 --> 00:06:04,350
if we can't communicate with them.
114
00:06:05,288 --> 00:06:06,906
- Agreed.
115
00:06:06,906 --> 00:06:10,989
- Yonah. Yonah, that's
Hebrew for dove, isn't it?
116
00:06:12,253 --> 00:06:13,086
- It is.
117
00:06:14,650 --> 00:06:16,310
- Well, now that we're all introduced,
118
00:06:16,310 --> 00:06:17,780
General, this is your bailiwick.
119
00:06:17,780 --> 00:06:20,010
I can give you just about an hour.
120
00:06:20,010 --> 00:06:21,150
- Thank you, Madam president
121
00:06:21,150 --> 00:06:22,800
if you would all take your seats.
122
00:06:23,706 --> 00:06:26,789
(footsteps thumping)
123
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,417
(soft music)
124
00:06:33,810 --> 00:06:35,410
- That's a pretty old school setup
125
00:06:35,410 --> 00:06:37,550
for this level of briefing.
126
00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:39,180
- Old-school?
127
00:06:39,180 --> 00:06:40,960
A Faraday shield is protecting this room
128
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,800
and the adjacent hallway
from electromagnetic fields.
129
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,970
- Wow. That explains
why the Secret Service
130
00:06:45,970 --> 00:06:49,020
confiscated our cell phones
before we entered the elevator.
131
00:06:49,020 --> 00:06:51,850
But there will be a
record of this meeting.
132
00:06:51,850 --> 00:06:54,580
Simply put, there's a hole
in the president's schedule
133
00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:56,230
because she's here.
134
00:06:56,230 --> 00:06:57,350
How long do you think it will take
135
00:06:57,350 --> 00:07:00,130
before some intrepid reporter
starts asking questions
136
00:07:00,130 --> 00:07:02,820
that I'm just gonna guess
you don't want answered.
137
00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:04,950
- Ma'am the answer is simple.
138
00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:06,620
The Commander of Air Force Space Command
139
00:07:06,620 --> 00:07:09,220
requested an emergency
meeting with the president
140
00:07:10,137 --> 00:07:11,320
- And as Commander,
141
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,350
I must protest the presence
of these two civilians.
142
00:07:14,350 --> 00:07:15,760
They're not part of my command.
143
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,324
- No. They're part of mine.
Shall we get on with it?
144
00:07:20,324 --> 00:07:21,900
(upbeat music)
145
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:24,373
- Of course, Madam President. Major.
146
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,890
This point in space is
known as Lagrange Point Two.
147
00:07:31,890 --> 00:07:34,920
Just about 1 million miles from Earth.
148
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,230
This is one of five such celestial
points relative to Earth,
149
00:07:39,230 --> 00:07:40,860
but is the Lagrange Point Two
150
00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:43,793
that observes the Earth, Moon and Sun.
151
00:07:44,970 --> 00:07:47,280
They're called parking places in space
152
00:07:48,116 --> 00:07:50,120
because the combined gravitational forces
153
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,330
of all three bodies create
a place of equilibrium.
154
00:07:54,330 --> 00:07:56,800
So a satellite can literally park there
155
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,863
and make observations.
156
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,080
- Madam President, when
the James Webb Telescope
157
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,093
launches in 2019, it'll
be parked at this point.
158
00:08:05,950 --> 00:08:07,233
Sorry, General.
159
00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:10,933
- Please tell me you
didn't request this meeting
160
00:08:10,933 --> 00:08:12,810
to give me a science lesson.
161
00:08:12,810 --> 00:08:15,773
- No, Madam president. Next slide.
162
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,220
You mentioned the Directorate earlier.
163
00:08:21,220 --> 00:08:24,990
As you know, the Directorate
overseas GPS launch, military
164
00:08:24,990 --> 00:08:29,550
and other highly classified communications
165
00:08:29,550 --> 00:08:31,773
for the Department of Defense.
166
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,920
You're looking at a Milstar satellite
167
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,440
in geostationary orbit.
168
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,423
And that orbit is about
24,000 miles from earth.
169
00:08:42,300 --> 00:08:44,120
As you may know, Madam President,
170
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,280
we have five of these military
communication satellites
171
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,113
in orbit.
172
00:08:49,790 --> 00:08:54,790
On August 15 last year, this
satellite intercepted a signal
173
00:08:55,210 --> 00:08:57,723
that originated from Lagrange Point Two.
174
00:08:59,030 --> 00:09:01,660
At first, our concern was
that someone was trying
175
00:09:01,660 --> 00:09:02,733
to hack into Milstar,
176
00:09:04,020 --> 00:09:07,585
but at the time that
didn't seem to be the case.
177
00:09:07,585 --> 00:09:08,660
- Why is that?
178
00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:13,320
- The only satellite operating in LG2
179
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,253
is a European Space Agency
space observatory called, Gaia.
180
00:09:18,260 --> 00:09:21,647
And it's not configured to
communicate with Milstar.
181
00:09:22,508 --> 00:09:24,008
- Then what was it?
182
00:09:25,885 --> 00:09:27,360
- Another satellite.
183
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,777
(soft music)
184
00:09:32,597 --> 00:09:35,200
- But you just said that the
only one operating there was...
185
00:09:36,165 --> 00:09:37,260
- Gaia.
186
00:09:37,260 --> 00:09:38,110
- Yes. Thank you.
187
00:09:39,050 --> 00:09:41,140
- Who intercepted the signal?
188
00:09:41,140 --> 00:09:41,973
- My unit did
189
00:09:42,950 --> 00:09:45,190
- Sure. It wasn't an Earth-based
signal that reflected
190
00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:47,270
off some piece of space debris?
191
00:09:47,270 --> 00:09:48,360
- Positive.
192
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,070
- Major, science isn't about positives.
193
00:09:51,070 --> 00:09:54,800
It's about a probable set of
conclusions based on facts.
194
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,760
- Emissions from a neutron star?
195
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,420
- Negative.
196
00:09:58,420 --> 00:09:59,253
- Comment?
197
00:10:00,690 --> 00:10:01,523
- Negative.
198
00:10:01,523 --> 00:10:03,560
This signal was in the upper band
199
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:05,830
of the electromagnetic spectrum.
200
00:10:05,830 --> 00:10:06,663
- What part?
201
00:10:06,663 --> 00:10:08,210
X-ray, and before you tell me
202
00:10:08,210 --> 00:10:10,160
it's not possible scientifically,
203
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,380
you know, as well as I,
that NASA has been looking
204
00:10:12,380 --> 00:10:14,420
into X-ray transmissions.
205
00:10:14,420 --> 00:10:15,840
- But it's not NASA.
206
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,240
- No, and it's not the Europeans.
207
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,960
- But this signal could be faked.
208
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,960
- Sure. If there was a
transmitter 900 AUs from Earth,
209
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,130
but considering Voyager 1 is
just over 100 AUs from Earth,
210
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:31,860
I would say it's unlikely.
211
00:10:31,860 --> 00:10:33,570
- Look, this could be Russia, China,
212
00:10:33,570 --> 00:10:34,730
hell, it could be Iran, for all we know.
213
00:10:34,730 --> 00:10:36,910
- Madam President, With all due respect,
214
00:10:36,910 --> 00:10:38,210
there isn't a satellite launch
215
00:10:38,210 --> 00:10:40,763
from this planet that we don't know about.
216
00:10:40,763 --> 00:10:43,180
(soft music)
217
00:11:08,629 --> 00:11:12,150
- General, what exactly
are you trying to tell me?
218
00:11:14,220 --> 00:11:15,053
Madam President,
219
00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:28,400
it was a satellite of
extraterrestrial origin.
220
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,400
(suspenseful music)
221
00:12:10,104 --> 00:12:11,120
- Dear God.
222
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,090
General, how did you get this picture?
223
00:12:13,090 --> 00:12:14,460
- Yes, how did you?
224
00:12:14,460 --> 00:12:16,450
Satellites are next to
impossible to image?
225
00:12:16,450 --> 00:12:18,820
there's virtually no ambient light in space.
226
00:12:18,820 --> 00:12:21,290
- To be frank, we got very lucky.
227
00:12:21,290 --> 00:12:23,640
Major, do we have a slide of the X-37?
228
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,840
- Yes sir. I believe so.
229
00:12:25,808 --> 00:12:26,700
(papers flips)
230
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:27,750
- We're being watched
231
00:12:28,590 --> 00:12:30,510
- [Reager] So it would it seem.
232
00:12:30,510 --> 00:12:32,360
- But by who or what?
233
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,410
- Madam President, if I may,
234
00:12:34,410 --> 00:12:37,720
just bring us all back
to Earth for a moment.
235
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,500
Since the Soviet Union
launched Sputnik in 1957
236
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:42,150
there have been over what?
237
00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:45,230
6,000 satellites launched into space?
238
00:12:45,230 --> 00:12:47,610
This predates the National
Reconnaissance Office
239
00:12:47,610 --> 00:12:50,183
and the Space Surveillance Networks.
240
00:12:50,183 --> 00:12:52,030
I agree with the general
that the United States tracks
241
00:12:52,030 --> 00:12:55,554
all watches from around the
world now, but in the 1960s,
242
00:12:55,554 --> 00:12:57,910
'70s, even '80s,
243
00:12:57,910 --> 00:13:00,423
come on, it wasn't technically
possible back then.
244
00:13:02,270 --> 00:13:03,330
- I had no idea you were such
245
00:13:03,330 --> 00:13:05,380
a historian on space, Elisabeth.
246
00:13:05,380 --> 00:13:08,020
- That's why I'm here. I briefed her.
247
00:13:08,020 --> 00:13:08,853
- Oh, did you?
248
00:13:09,870 --> 00:13:10,703
Interesting.
249
00:13:12,270 --> 00:13:13,103
- Ready, sir.
250
00:13:14,010 --> 00:13:14,960
- Thank you, Major.
251
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,420
Madam President,
252
00:13:17,420 --> 00:13:20,193
you're familiar with the
Boeing X-37 space plane.
253
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:27,450
On the day of discovery,
254
00:13:27,450 --> 00:13:30,233
this plane was on its second test flight.
255
00:13:32,820 --> 00:13:37,820
On my order, I sent the plane to the LG2
256
00:13:38,940 --> 00:13:40,403
where the signal originated,
257
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:44,183
with on-board lights and cameras,
258
00:13:45,740 --> 00:13:48,210
the following images were produced.
259
00:13:48,210 --> 00:13:50,670
- Well, thank you for confirming
the rumored EM drive,
260
00:13:50,670 --> 00:13:51,920
but that still doesn't confirm
261
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,780
that it's extra terrestrial in origin.
262
00:13:53,780 --> 00:13:54,970
- Oh, it does.
263
00:13:54,970 --> 00:13:58,100
When the satellite engages
its engine and leave quickly.
264
00:13:58,100 --> 00:14:00,651
We haven't been able to track it since.
265
00:14:00,651 --> 00:14:02,490
- Then all you have, General is a picture
266
00:14:02,490 --> 00:14:05,798
that could lend itself to
a science fiction story.
267
00:14:05,798 --> 00:14:09,320
- (scoffs) Mr. Science Attache,
268
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,420
in addition to the X-ray
transmission that we have,
269
00:14:12,420 --> 00:14:17,420
the X- 37 also recorded some
very interesting readings.
270
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:18,523
- What kind?
271
00:14:18,523 --> 00:14:20,140
- Propulsion.
272
00:14:20,140 --> 00:14:24,483
Yes, we have an experimental
ION drive on the X-37,
273
00:14:25,490 --> 00:14:29,440
but that pales in comparison
to the anti-gravity drive
274
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,573
on the satellite.
275
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:36,900
So we're no longer in the
world of science fiction,
276
00:14:37,570 --> 00:14:42,400
but fact, and the fact
remains Madam President,
277
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,520
that a satellite of
extra terrestrial origin
278
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,630
was discovered at LG2
279
00:14:47,630 --> 00:14:50,590
with communication and
propulsion technologies
280
00:14:50,590 --> 00:14:53,373
that do not exist on Earth.
281
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,560
- Who else knows about this?
282
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,400
- Aside from those in this room,
283
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,140
only a handful of techs
from Sampson's unit
284
00:15:09,090 --> 00:15:10,263
and Senator Hadrian.
285
00:15:11,570 --> 00:15:16,570
The signal telemetry and
mission records of the X-37
286
00:15:16,710 --> 00:15:19,168
are now controlled by my office.
287
00:15:19,168 --> 00:15:20,930
- You know, if Sorenson
finds out about this
288
00:15:20,930 --> 00:15:23,650
or any of these other
alien disclosure groups
289
00:15:23,650 --> 00:15:25,010
were in of it.
290
00:15:25,010 --> 00:15:25,980
- Sorenson?
291
00:15:25,980 --> 00:15:27,750
- Oh, a political activist that heads up
292
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:29,640
Solar Research Group.
293
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,290
He tried putting pressure on the president
294
00:15:31,290 --> 00:15:33,210
to disclose what she knew about UFOs
295
00:15:33,210 --> 00:15:37,400
or more precisely, the extra
terrestrial presence issue.
296
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,050
- Christ, I need some coffee.
297
00:15:39,050 --> 00:15:40,003
Let's take five.
298
00:15:40,942 --> 00:15:43,525
(upbeat music)
299
00:15:49,290 --> 00:15:51,100
- Government has painted
itself into a real corner
300
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:52,970
with this UFO matter.
301
00:15:52,970 --> 00:15:56,860
Damned if they say something.
Damned if they don't.
302
00:15:56,860 --> 00:15:59,221
They only believe what they see.
303
00:15:59,221 --> 00:16:00,971
- It doesn't matter. It's academic.
304
00:16:02,510 --> 00:16:05,560
- Do you think Reager will
be a help or a hindrance?
305
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,113
- Please, he is a career
military officer on a mission.
306
00:16:10,860 --> 00:16:12,610
Which actually it gives me an idea.
307
00:16:14,430 --> 00:16:17,067
- What's your impression of the president?
308
00:16:19,557 --> 00:16:22,307
- If I dint know any better,
sir, I'd say she's scared.
309
00:16:23,190 --> 00:16:25,543
- Aren't you? Hell, aren't we all?
310
00:16:26,389 --> 00:16:29,470
With all that we know, we should
have seen this one coming.
311
00:16:29,470 --> 00:16:30,927
Keep your eye on Cedric.
312
00:16:33,710 --> 00:16:36,243
- That's not hard sir.
He's keeping them on me.
313
00:16:42,834 --> 00:16:45,620
- If an opportunity
presents itself, take it.
314
00:16:45,620 --> 00:16:47,520
We need to know more about him.
315
00:16:48,967 --> 00:16:51,725
(President Colton sighs loudly)
316
00:16:51,725 --> 00:16:53,393
(coffee pouring)
317
00:16:53,393 --> 00:16:54,430
- I just can't believe this.
318
00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:56,061
- Neither can I.
319
00:16:56,061 --> 00:16:58,420
(President Colton sighs loudly)
320
00:16:58,420 --> 00:16:59,930
- What would your advice be?
321
00:16:59,930 --> 00:17:01,764
- Well, whatever happens,
322
00:17:01,764 --> 00:17:03,770
there's only one thing
you have to remember,
323
00:17:03,770 --> 00:17:05,546
you're the president.
324
00:17:05,546 --> 00:17:07,963
(soft music)
325
00:17:18,180 --> 00:17:21,640
- Madam President, it was
truly an honor to meet you,
326
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:22,890
but I must beg to leave.
327
00:17:22,890 --> 00:17:23,750
I have a flight today.
328
00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:25,150
- Oh, I'm sorry to see you go.
329
00:17:25,150 --> 00:17:27,520
I've enjoyed your commentary on this,
330
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,870
what are we calling it?
331
00:17:28,870 --> 00:17:31,270
Development or discovery?
332
00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:32,370
- Revelation.
333
00:17:32,370 --> 00:17:33,750
- That's as good a word as any.
334
00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:34,990
James, I'd like you to stay in touch
335
00:17:34,990 --> 00:17:36,210
with Elisabeth's office.
336
00:17:36,210 --> 00:17:38,210
I might have some follow-up
questions for you.
337
00:17:38,210 --> 00:17:39,850
- Of course, Madam President.
338
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:42,983
- Leaving in the middle of
a presidential briefing.
339
00:17:44,860 --> 00:17:46,120
- I thought you'd be happy, General.
340
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:48,400
- What could possibly be more important?
341
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,517
- You know the old adage,
ask me no questions,
342
00:17:51,517 --> 00:17:53,750
- And I'll tell you no lies.
343
00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:56,280
- Imagine if we did that in Washington
344
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,290
- Mr. Griffin, I do want to remind you,
345
00:18:00,290 --> 00:18:01,803
this meeting is classified.
346
00:18:04,090 --> 00:18:07,630
- General, you have my word that no one
347
00:18:07,630 --> 00:18:09,163
on this planet will know.
348
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:16,500
Madam President, Madam Advisor, General, Major.
349
00:18:16,830 --> 00:18:18,330
- Safe travels.
350
00:18:18,330 --> 00:18:20,913
(upbeat music)
351
00:18:24,384 --> 00:18:26,967
(door opening)
352
00:18:28,609 --> 00:18:31,095
(door shutting)
353
00:18:31,095 --> 00:18:34,095
(footstep thumping)
354
00:18:36,290 --> 00:18:39,313
- Bill, I need to get to the
field as quickly as possible.
355
00:18:39,313 --> 00:18:40,372
- [Bill] Yes, sir.
356
00:18:40,372 --> 00:18:43,455
(upbeat music)
357
00:18:43,455 --> 00:18:46,538
(footsteps thumping)
358
00:18:55,690 --> 00:18:57,920
- General, forgive the obvious,
359
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,020
you discovered this alleged alien-
360
00:19:00,020 --> 00:19:02,730
- There's nothing alleged about it.
361
00:19:02,730 --> 00:19:05,200
- You don't mind if I finish, do you?
362
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,300
You discovered this
satellite on August 15th,
363
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:11,040
why are we just hearing
about this now on June 4th,
364
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,750
nearly a year after this incident?
365
00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:14,480
- And why brief Senator Hadrian,
366
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,360
the Chairman of the Senate
Committee of Armed Services
367
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:18,673
before the president?
368
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,390
- They make a point, John.
369
00:19:21,390 --> 00:19:23,173
I'd like an answer before you continue.
370
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,720
- To be frank Madam President,
371
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,080
we needed to be certain
372
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,610
there was something to brief you on
373
00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:32,130
and to compartmentalize
the entire operation.
374
00:19:32,130 --> 00:19:33,950
- You mean hide from inquiry?
375
00:19:33,950 --> 00:19:35,913
- I mean keep it from the public.
376
00:19:36,890 --> 00:19:38,340
That's why I went to Hadrian.
377
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,060
Do you think it's a good idea
378
00:19:41,060 --> 00:19:43,290
for the public to know about this?
379
00:19:43,290 --> 00:19:46,993
Do you? They can barely
handle bad weather.
380
00:19:48,450 --> 00:19:52,280
That's the one downside
of a democracy disclosure
381
00:19:53,220 --> 00:19:56,053
for some things that
just can't be disclosed,
382
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,440
and to ensure compliance
with any ridiculous
383
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,053
Freedom of Information Act requests,
384
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,903
the documentation has been
removed from government files.
385
00:20:10,770 --> 00:20:13,030
Call it what you want.
386
00:20:13,030 --> 00:20:16,533
I call it, protecting the
people from themselves.
387
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,683
And before you utter one more word,
388
00:20:21,020 --> 00:20:23,280
the president will agree with me on this.
389
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,370
- He's right, Elisabeth.
390
00:20:27,370 --> 00:20:28,850
There are just some matters of state
391
00:20:28,850 --> 00:20:30,050
that can't be disclosed.
392
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,300
Speaking of disclosure,
393
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:35,620
I'd like to know where Mr.
Griffin went in such a hurry,
394
00:20:35,620 --> 00:20:36,970
given his background
395
00:20:36,970 --> 00:20:39,290
and the subject matter
that we're talking about.
396
00:20:39,290 --> 00:20:41,783
Don't you find it odd
that he left so abruptly?
397
00:20:43,558 --> 00:20:44,870
(helicopter flying)
398
00:20:44,870 --> 00:20:45,703
- Very well.
399
00:20:46,825 --> 00:20:48,750
He went to the European
Space Operations Center
400
00:20:48,750 --> 00:20:49,850
in Darmstadt, Germany.
401
00:20:50,770 --> 00:20:52,590
We want to know if the Gaia observatory
402
00:20:52,590 --> 00:20:53,890
reported anything unusual.
403
00:20:55,580 --> 00:20:56,990
We would've told you Madam President,
404
00:20:56,990 --> 00:20:59,510
but we didn't want any
military interference.
405
00:20:59,510 --> 00:21:01,520
- You're gonna have more than military-
406
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:02,840
- General, I'm satisfied.
407
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,360
Let's all secure from Defcon 3, shall we?
408
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:07,670
- It's a prudent action.
409
00:21:07,670 --> 00:21:09,120
Albeit a bit underhanded.
410
00:21:10,530 --> 00:21:13,880
- So you haven't been able
to track this satellite?
411
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,370
- Not the satellite itself.
412
00:21:15,370 --> 00:21:16,471
- But I thought the satellite-
413
00:21:16,471 --> 00:21:17,804
- Communication.
414
00:21:21,940 --> 00:21:24,420
After we ruled out a hack of Milstar,
415
00:21:24,420 --> 00:21:27,590
we believe it came down to line of sight,
416
00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:30,300
and that our satellite
simply got in the way.
417
00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:33,050
- How did you possibly come
up with that conclusion?
418
00:21:33,050 --> 00:21:36,220
- Our satellites don't communicate
the X-ray transmission.
419
00:21:36,220 --> 00:21:39,070
Our satellite simply
recorded what it received
420
00:21:39,070 --> 00:21:42,110
or more precisely what passed through it.
421
00:21:42,110 --> 00:21:44,300
- But that still doesn't prove
your line of sight theory.
422
00:21:44,300 --> 00:21:46,260
- It doesn't disprove it either.
423
00:21:46,260 --> 00:21:48,630
It's a theory for many deductions.
424
00:21:48,630 --> 00:21:51,350
Fact, no satellite launched from Earth
425
00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:53,590
whether military or civilian communicates
426
00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:55,440
via X-ray transmissions.
427
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,570
Fact, the signal terminated
over the Atlantic Ocean.
428
00:21:59,570 --> 00:22:03,570
Fact, no military or civilian
aircraft, surface ships,
429
00:22:03,570 --> 00:22:05,280
or submarines were anywhere near
430
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,140
the termination of the signal.
431
00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:08,890
So where does that leave us?
432
00:22:08,890 --> 00:22:10,380
- Your tell us, Major.
433
00:22:10,380 --> 00:22:13,250
- You're familiar with Arthur Conan Doyle.
434
00:22:13,250 --> 00:22:14,253
- Of course.
435
00:22:15,460 --> 00:22:17,990
- Once you eliminate the impossible,
436
00:22:17,990 --> 00:22:22,823
what remains no matter how
improbable, must be the truth.
437
00:22:24,490 --> 00:22:25,723
Laugh all you want.
438
00:22:26,570 --> 00:22:29,540
Madam President, we strongly
believe that this satellite
439
00:22:29,540 --> 00:22:31,440
was communicating with something that,
440
00:22:32,470 --> 00:22:34,940
well, something that we just can't see
441
00:22:34,940 --> 00:22:37,250
because the fact remains that a signal
442
00:22:37,250 --> 00:22:39,740
must be received by something.
443
00:22:39,740 --> 00:22:42,500
The fact that we can't
see it does not mean
444
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:43,880
that it doesn't exist.
445
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,530
- Your conclusion is ridiculous.
446
00:22:45,530 --> 00:22:48,540
- Not nearly as ridiculous
as your deliberate dismissal.
447
00:22:48,540 --> 00:22:51,370
You're supposed to be the
National Security Adviser.
448
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:53,870
Aren't you the least bit
concerned about this?
449
00:22:53,870 --> 00:22:56,480
- I'm concerned that Russia,
450
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,310
a member of the United
Nations Security Council
451
00:22:59,310 --> 00:23:02,460
has invaded the Crimea and the
president should be talking
452
00:23:02,460 --> 00:23:03,710
to her allies upstairs
453
00:23:03,710 --> 00:23:07,370
rather than listening to
fantasy downstairs, okay?
454
00:23:07,370 --> 00:23:10,170
I'm concerned that you are
wasting the president's time,
455
00:23:10,170 --> 00:23:11,860
but hey, look, I get it.
456
00:23:11,860 --> 00:23:12,693
You have a picture
457
00:23:12,693 --> 00:23:13,910
and a signal and you think that-
458
00:23:13,910 --> 00:23:15,210
- Major, excuse me.
459
00:23:15,210 --> 00:23:18,010
You are also painfully, aware
that X-ray can originate
460
00:23:18,010 --> 00:23:21,410
from a supernova, other space phenomenon?
461
00:23:21,410 --> 00:23:24,363
- But it does come down
to modulation, doesn't it?
462
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,403
A supernova isn't trying to communicate.
463
00:23:30,460 --> 00:23:32,490
You also know, or maybe you don't,
464
00:23:32,490 --> 00:23:35,740
that NASA has been experimenting
with this technology.
465
00:23:35,740 --> 00:23:38,700
Madam President, if NASA is successful,
466
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:40,900
the result will be high-rates of data
467
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:43,170
transmitted over vast distances of space
468
00:23:43,170 --> 00:23:46,060
and the ability to communicate
with hypersonic vehicles
469
00:23:46,060 --> 00:23:47,960
during atmosphere, free entry.
470
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,040
Mr. Griffith would confirm
all this, but he's, oh yes,
471
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:52,993
he's left for ESOC.
472
00:23:54,810 --> 00:23:58,010
- General, have you decoded
these transmissions?
473
00:23:58,010 --> 00:23:59,180
- This is why it's taken so long
474
00:23:59,180 --> 00:24:01,153
to bring this to your attention.
475
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:03,697
I'll take over, Major.
476
00:24:06,540 --> 00:24:09,220
Madam President, what
I'm about to disclose
477
00:24:09,220 --> 00:24:13,670
has a NATO security classification as CTS,
478
00:24:13,670 --> 00:24:15,683
it's Cosmic Top Secret.
479
00:24:16,810 --> 00:24:18,543
High security rating possible.
480
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,810
Before I continue, I
need your authorization
481
00:24:22,810 --> 00:24:26,750
to declassify this information to him.
482
00:24:26,750 --> 00:24:28,830
- I have more clearance
that you can possibly know.
483
00:24:28,830 --> 00:24:30,296
- Not with me, you don't.
484
00:24:30,296 --> 00:24:31,897
- Madam President, a moment.
485
00:24:35,945 --> 00:24:38,945
(suspenseful music)
486
00:24:41,216 --> 00:24:42,730
Reager knows that Cedric is in this room
487
00:24:42,730 --> 00:24:45,840
he has all necessary
clearances, why ask you?
488
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,710
- He wants to know
where my alliances fall.
489
00:24:47,710 --> 00:24:48,770
He's plotting something.
490
00:24:48,770 --> 00:24:52,336
What, I don't know yet, but
body language speaks volumes.
491
00:24:52,336 --> 00:24:53,169
Reager wants something.
492
00:24:53,169 --> 00:24:55,084
- And Cedric wants to know what.
493
00:24:55,084 --> 00:24:58,670
- We need to find out where this is going.
494
00:24:58,670 --> 00:25:01,961
General, you have my authorization.
495
00:25:01,961 --> 00:25:04,378
(soft music)
496
00:25:06,030 --> 00:25:07,200
- The planet Earth
497
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,620
designated the Blue
Marble during Apollo 17.
498
00:25:11,620 --> 00:25:12,570
Stunning, isn't it?
499
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:15,090
But here's what you have to know
500
00:25:15,090 --> 00:25:16,503
if you plan to land on it.
501
00:25:18,750 --> 00:25:22,543
There are presently over
3,500 satellites in orbit.
502
00:25:23,970 --> 00:25:28,110
We are tracking over 500,000 pieces
503
00:25:28,110 --> 00:25:30,240
of orbital debris.
504
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,133
Now this traffic is traveling
at 17,000 miles per hour.
505
00:25:36,970 --> 00:25:41,090
in Earth's atmosphere, civilian
and military flight tracking
506
00:25:41,090 --> 00:25:42,493
is just as important.
507
00:25:43,410 --> 00:25:48,330
This year alone, there will
be over 100,000 civilian flights
508
00:25:48,330 --> 00:25:50,440
around the world.
509
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,270
The Military, NATO, ESA
510
00:25:54,270 --> 00:25:58,590
and other civilian and commercial
partners have to navigate
511
00:25:58,590 --> 00:26:02,303
this traffic for more
reasons than I can count.
512
00:26:04,270 --> 00:26:07,273
Apparently, so to those
that control this satellite.
513
00:26:08,540 --> 00:26:11,120
- What exactly are you saying, General?
514
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:12,033
- Navigation.
515
00:26:13,290 --> 00:26:15,620
This satellite wasn't
just observing earth.
516
00:26:15,620 --> 00:26:17,440
It was communicating in the same way
517
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,633
that we communicate with
our spacecraft and aircraft.
518
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,060
It wasn't just imagery, either.
519
00:26:24,060 --> 00:26:28,887
Transponder codes for all
civilian and military satellites
520
00:26:28,887 --> 00:26:30,713
and aircraft were recorded.
521
00:26:31,730 --> 00:26:34,093
There were also weather
forecasting models.
522
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,623
We also found what we
believe to be a flight plan,
523
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,403
leaving from the Atlantic
ocean and off the planet.
524
00:26:43,820 --> 00:26:44,703
- A flight plan?
525
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:47,400
- Where did the plan track to?
526
00:26:48,290 --> 00:26:49,340
- That we don't know.
527
00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:52,140
- Something isn't just watching us,
528
00:26:54,190 --> 00:26:55,240
they're already here.
529
00:26:56,271 --> 00:26:57,530
(suspenseful music)
530
00:26:57,530 --> 00:26:58,363
- Precisely.
531
00:26:59,820 --> 00:27:01,728
- It's curious, isn't it?
532
00:27:01,728 --> 00:27:03,010
- What is?
533
00:27:03,010 --> 00:27:03,843
- This.
534
00:27:06,330 --> 00:27:09,330
(suspenseful music)
535
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:13,200
Governments spends billions
on space exploration
536
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,000
in the search for extra terrestrial life.
537
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,480
Earth scientists have discovered nearly 1000
538
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,633
extra solar planets, some
in the habitable zone.
539
00:27:23,170 --> 00:27:25,080
Radio telescopes, beaming and beaming,
540
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,493
hoping to make contact.
541
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,170
And what happens?
542
00:27:29,170 --> 00:27:31,300
You discover they're right here.
543
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:33,460
Congratulations. You can
both add another medal
544
00:27:33,460 --> 00:27:34,630
to your fruit salads.
545
00:27:34,630 --> 00:27:36,425
- Excuse me. That's disrespectful.
546
00:27:36,425 --> 00:27:38,870
- Cedric, the General and
Major are decorated officers
547
00:27:38,870 --> 00:27:40,460
with a track record of outstanding-
548
00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:43,050
- Madam President forgive
me. I mean, no disrespect.
549
00:27:43,050 --> 00:27:44,800
It's a compliment to your command.
550
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,890
- Well, then compliment us
with your scientific insight
551
00:27:47,890 --> 00:27:49,593
on what we may be dealing with.
552
00:27:50,810 --> 00:27:52,820
- There are many insights we could make.
553
00:27:52,820 --> 00:27:55,510
Just looking at the configuration
and size of the satellite
554
00:27:55,510 --> 00:27:58,250
means that there could be a
similarity to Earth's development
555
00:27:58,250 --> 00:28:00,770
in terms of communications.
556
00:28:00,770 --> 00:28:04,200
Anti gravity propulsion
though, that's a revolution.
557
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,663
If in fact the X-37 readings were correct.
558
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,610
It means the propulsion can be achieved
559
00:28:09,610 --> 00:28:11,750
at near light, speed in space.
560
00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:13,490
And on planets like Earth.
561
00:28:13,490 --> 00:28:15,230
Gravity cancellation technology
562
00:28:15,230 --> 00:28:19,340
would make conventional
airports and airplanes obsolete.
563
00:28:19,340 --> 00:28:21,470
In essence, picture a helicopter
564
00:28:21,470 --> 00:28:23,733
without the need for rotating blades.
565
00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:27,100
Now, if such a satellite were to originate
566
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:28,530
from another solar system,
567
00:28:28,530 --> 00:28:33,243
it could be one nearby, say
Gliese or Promixa Centauri.
568
00:28:35,190 --> 00:28:36,890
Ask anyone who has worked in this field
569
00:28:36,890 --> 00:28:38,730
and they'll tell you
the navigation of space
570
00:28:38,730 --> 00:28:41,200
is complicated and dangerous.
571
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,580
It looks empty to the lay person,
572
00:28:42,580 --> 00:28:45,230
but in fact is littered with
debris like Earth orbit.
573
00:28:46,750 --> 00:28:49,260
Now for a long extended
journey they would need
574
00:28:49,260 --> 00:28:52,690
or at least want something along the lines
575
00:28:52,690 --> 00:28:55,230
of asteroid deflectors for starters.
576
00:28:55,230 --> 00:28:56,630
- Asteroid deflectors?
577
00:28:56,630 --> 00:28:58,410
- Yes, devices that fly apart,
578
00:28:58,410 --> 00:29:00,830
but in concert with the
primary space vehicle
579
00:29:00,830 --> 00:29:03,330
to repel, deflect or
even destroy space debris
580
00:29:03,330 --> 00:29:05,920
that poses a threat to navigation.
581
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,950
NASA is working on a plan
now to install laser cannons
582
00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:11,203
on the ISS for just such debris.
583
00:29:13,130 --> 00:29:15,080
It's a shame the satellite disappeared.
584
00:29:16,210 --> 00:29:18,860
Imagine the knowledge, if
it was reversed engineered.
585
00:29:19,770 --> 00:29:21,240
Of course, there's one
thing you can't tell
586
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,600
from these images or
even the transmission.
587
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:24,900
- And what's that?
588
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:27,490
- How long the satellite
has been an orbit.
589
00:29:27,490 --> 00:29:30,170
Could be one year. It could be 100.
590
00:29:30,170 --> 00:29:32,020
It could be a thousand.
591
00:29:32,020 --> 00:29:34,330
My point is, wherever they're from,
592
00:29:34,330 --> 00:29:36,690
regardless of what they look like,
593
00:29:36,690 --> 00:29:40,033
they are an advanced
civilization, but not infallible.
594
00:29:43,390 --> 00:29:46,310
- The comm signal that
passed through our satellite.
595
00:29:46,310 --> 00:29:47,143
- Exactly.
596
00:29:49,090 --> 00:29:50,590
- What do you think they want?
597
00:29:51,470 --> 00:29:52,930
- You don't need to be a
scientist to answer that,
598
00:29:52,930 --> 00:29:54,413
Madam President.
599
00:29:54,413 --> 00:29:56,340
I would postulate the
same thing NASA wants
600
00:29:56,340 --> 00:29:58,793
when new horizons
intercepts Pluto next year.
601
00:30:00,290 --> 00:30:01,123
- Answers.
602
00:30:03,270 --> 00:30:05,603
- Answers are something
that we need, Cedric.
603
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,603
So where do we go from here, General?
604
00:30:13,820 --> 00:30:17,847
- It's not where we go. It's where we are.
605
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,340
Using our military satellite networks
606
00:30:22,340 --> 00:30:24,640
in cooperation with other nations
607
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,470
and ground stations around the world,
608
00:30:27,470 --> 00:30:30,960
I've assembled a team of
scientists and engineers
609
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,490
and various agencies to detect
610
00:30:33,490 --> 00:30:35,523
and track this alien presence.
611
00:30:37,018 --> 00:30:40,820
But our present funding and
certain inter-agency rules
612
00:30:40,820 --> 00:30:42,780
prohibit us from taking this further.
613
00:30:43,970 --> 00:30:47,470
I need your authorization
to divert funding
614
00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:49,930
from the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration
615
00:30:49,930 --> 00:30:52,273
Authorization Act of 2014.
616
00:30:53,220 --> 00:30:54,380
This funding will be placed
617
00:30:54,380 --> 00:30:56,460
at the National Reconnaissance Office
618
00:30:56,460 --> 00:30:58,160
and administered by Space Command.
619
00:30:59,290 --> 00:31:01,193
NASA won't ask any questions.
620
00:31:02,300 --> 00:31:05,920
Any budget shortfall will
be handled by Congress
621
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,503
under Senator Hadrian's lead.
622
00:31:11,748 --> 00:31:14,748
(suspenseful music)
623
00:31:19,750 --> 00:31:22,068
Operation Troy, Madam President.
624
00:31:22,068 --> 00:31:25,068
(suspenseful music)
625
00:31:33,998 --> 00:31:35,940
- What are you afraid of, General?
626
00:31:35,940 --> 00:31:37,900
- It's not about being afraid.
627
00:31:37,900 --> 00:31:41,250
It's about knowing who they
are and what they want.
628
00:31:41,250 --> 00:31:43,060
And let us be clear,
629
00:31:43,060 --> 00:31:46,500
nobody undertakes a multi
light year space journey
630
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:48,550
just because it's Monday.
631
00:31:48,550 --> 00:31:51,097
- That's right, General, a journey.
632
00:31:51,097 --> 00:31:53,230
And you don't know what
they want or who they are.
633
00:31:53,230 --> 00:31:55,330
You are assuming, just
on your actions alone,
634
00:31:55,330 --> 00:31:56,950
they're malevolent.
635
00:31:56,950 --> 00:31:59,960
- And what evidence do
you have that benevolent?
636
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:02,140
- Have they attacked you? No.
637
00:32:02,140 --> 00:32:04,020
- We don't know that.
638
00:32:04,020 --> 00:32:05,550
We don't know what they're doing here,
639
00:32:05,550 --> 00:32:09,130
but they certainly have some
sort of stealth technology.
640
00:32:09,130 --> 00:32:10,470
- And you don't?
641
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:12,600
Why do you fly your stealth bombers and drones
642
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:13,930
to hostile territory?
643
00:32:13,930 --> 00:32:15,100
To protect yourself.
644
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:17,590
Has it dawned on you that
these, whatever they are,
645
00:32:17,590 --> 00:32:18,640
are doing the same?
646
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:19,910
- No, it hasn't.
647
00:32:19,910 --> 00:32:23,350
Because in our case, we
know who we're dealing with,
648
00:32:23,350 --> 00:32:24,620
human beings
649
00:32:24,620 --> 00:32:29,200
- Mr. Yonah, this is about
military preparedness.
650
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,870
It's that simple.
651
00:32:30,870 --> 00:32:33,170
We don't know what we're dealing with.
652
00:32:33,170 --> 00:32:36,013
- Exactly. You don't.
653
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,850
This action into the unknown
654
00:32:38,850 --> 00:32:41,450
could seriously put our
national security in jeopardy,
655
00:32:41,450 --> 00:32:43,650
nevermind the security of our planet.
656
00:32:43,650 --> 00:32:46,620
Isn't this the time to act
on fact rather than fiction?
657
00:32:46,620 --> 00:32:49,200
- That's the point, to get some.
658
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,020
We are operating literally in the dark,
659
00:32:52,020 --> 00:32:54,310
the darkness of space.
660
00:32:54,310 --> 00:32:56,440
The whole point of Operation Troy,
661
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,160
is to shed light on this darkness.
662
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,463
- Indeed. This is a time
to study and investigate.
663
00:33:04,650 --> 00:33:07,070
Can you imagine what you
could learn from them?
664
00:33:07,070 --> 00:33:09,680
- All we've learned is
that we're being watched,
665
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,530
and our land air and space
assets are being tracked.
666
00:33:13,530 --> 00:33:15,023
To what end, who knows?
667
00:33:16,070 --> 00:33:18,557
- Would you not agree that this
discovery gives credence to,
668
00:33:18,557 --> 00:33:21,350
"Somewhere, something incredible
is waiting to be known?"
669
00:33:21,350 --> 00:33:24,320
- This isn't the time or
place to quote Carl Sagan.
670
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,210
- That quote is mistakenly
attributed to him.
671
00:33:26,210 --> 00:33:28,310
When in fact it was created by a reporter.
672
00:33:29,220 --> 00:33:30,890
- What's your point, Cedric?
673
00:33:30,890 --> 00:33:32,841
- My point Madam President,
674
00:33:32,841 --> 00:33:35,620
is that in light of the
magnitude of this discovery
675
00:33:35,620 --> 00:33:37,563
it's too easy for mistakes to be made.
676
00:33:39,230 --> 00:33:41,270
- All you scientists are alike.
677
00:33:41,270 --> 00:33:44,210
You deal with the unknown,
but you're remarkably,
678
00:33:44,210 --> 00:33:46,080
predictable in your actions.
679
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,960
- As are you General, you
sadly deal in absolutes
680
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,700
because the unknown terrifies you
681
00:33:52,180 --> 00:33:55,540
- General, if I sign this,
682
00:33:55,540 --> 00:33:57,440
what's the objective of Operation Troy
683
00:33:58,890 --> 00:33:59,863
- Identification.
684
00:34:06,702 --> 00:34:09,119
(murmured conversation)
685
00:34:17,111 --> 00:34:19,694
(war sounds)
686
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,970
If they're going to watch
us, we'll return the favor.
687
00:34:32,930 --> 00:34:36,590
The objective is to identify
where they are on this planet.
688
00:34:36,590 --> 00:34:39,263
And if possible, the solar system.
689
00:34:40,580 --> 00:34:43,493
Once identified,
communications will be open.
690
00:34:45,410 --> 00:34:48,560
My concern, Madam President
is despite them being here,
691
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,793
they've made no effort
to communicate with us.
692
00:34:53,010 --> 00:34:56,690
Instead of silent, stealth-like invasion
693
00:34:56,690 --> 00:34:57,853
has already happened.
694
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,300
Just because a bomb hasn't been dropped
695
00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:03,433
does not mean the war has not begun.
696
00:35:05,810 --> 00:35:09,853
So yes, I am afraid.
697
00:35:10,830 --> 00:35:14,280
Afraid of the unknown, as you
should be, Madam President
698
00:35:15,315 --> 00:35:17,730
and everyone else in room.
699
00:35:17,730 --> 00:35:20,730
(suspenseful music)
700
00:35:22,773 --> 00:35:26,630
- Your xenophobia, General
is painfully apparent.
701
00:35:26,630 --> 00:35:29,673
what does Reager stand for?
Something Germanic, isn't it?
702
00:35:31,230 --> 00:35:32,940
How fitting someone with a Germanic name
703
00:35:32,940 --> 00:35:35,000
talks about identifying people?
704
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,320
How fitting such a person
commands a military apparatus.
705
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,850
- How dare you compare me-
706
00:35:38,850 --> 00:35:41,440
- I'm not comparing you
to anyone except yourself.
707
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,330
Unless people like me
speak up loud and often,
708
00:35:43,330 --> 00:35:44,720
and at the moment it matters,
709
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:47,720
history is a strange
habit of repeating itself.
710
00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:49,400
How many times in the history of mankind
711
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,460
have people been identified
by the fear of others?
712
00:35:51,460 --> 00:35:53,600
How many times have they
been marked by the ignorance
713
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,800
of hate under the
organization of the state?
714
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,600
Those that wouldn't open their eyes,
715
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,120
those that failed to learn,
716
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,710
to make any attempt to understand
717
00:36:01,710 --> 00:36:03,670
that just because you don't know someone
718
00:36:03,670 --> 00:36:05,280
doesn't mean they're your enemy.
719
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,580
They could be your friend.
720
00:36:06,580 --> 00:36:09,540
- A friend doesn't operate in stealth,
721
00:36:09,540 --> 00:36:12,150
there in the open with
a hand of friendship
722
00:36:12,150 --> 00:36:14,240
or at least curiosity.
723
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:15,630
Not some comm signal,
724
00:36:15,630 --> 00:36:18,800
revealing the identification
of our planes,
725
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,123
our ships and our submarines.
726
00:36:22,310 --> 00:36:26,280
With the exception of
you, everyone in this room
727
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,623
has taken the oath.
728
00:36:28,530 --> 00:36:33,040
It's our job to protect this
country against enemies,
729
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,443
both foreign and domestic.
730
00:36:36,550 --> 00:36:39,500
And if this doesn't qualify as foreign,
731
00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:41,900
you can have all my stars
732
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:44,773
because that is exactly
where they're from.
733
00:36:48,150 --> 00:36:52,260
And until the day comes
that they reveal themselves
734
00:36:52,260 --> 00:36:54,980
and their intentions to us,
735
00:36:54,980 --> 00:36:58,290
they will be treated as
a cancer in our world.
736
00:36:58,290 --> 00:36:59,323
- And be eradicated.
737
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,960
You're right, General.
738
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,940
I haven't taken an oath
739
00:37:04,940 --> 00:37:06,410
because how many times throughout history
740
00:37:06,410 --> 00:37:09,330
do these oaths end in, "So help me, God."
741
00:37:09,330 --> 00:37:11,220
You may be looking for
a divine intervention
742
00:37:11,220 --> 00:37:12,830
if your plans bear fruit.
743
00:37:12,830 --> 00:37:15,330
This fruit you so longingly
are looking to accomplish
744
00:37:15,330 --> 00:37:17,470
could usher in a new revelation.
745
00:37:17,470 --> 00:37:19,930
Has it even remotely occurred to you,
746
00:37:19,930 --> 00:37:22,680
instead acting on fear of
what you don't understand,
747
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,667
you want to detect,
track and identify them,
748
00:37:24,667 --> 00:37:26,923
and you don't even know what them is.
749
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,290
I'm a man of science and
one could say a history,
750
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,830
when your government enacted
the Indian Removal Act,
751
00:37:36,830 --> 00:37:38,760
it never occurred to President Jackson
752
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,270
that someday the Native Americans
unique place in the world
753
00:37:41,270 --> 00:37:42,630
might be needed.
754
00:37:42,630 --> 00:37:44,500
Thankfully, they and
their language survived
755
00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:46,930
and helped you end a World War.
756
00:37:46,930 --> 00:37:48,310
Has it occurred to you
that whoever they are
757
00:37:48,310 --> 00:37:51,410
it might someday help
you in your hour of need.
758
00:37:51,410 --> 00:37:53,230
Maybe they already are.
759
00:37:53,230 --> 00:37:54,580
Do you want to identify them
760
00:37:54,580 --> 00:37:57,230
because you were scared of
what you don't understand.
761
00:37:58,390 --> 00:38:01,610
If you don't want to understand
space, why look up,
762
00:38:01,610 --> 00:38:03,270
keep your head down.
763
00:38:03,270 --> 00:38:05,620
Thankfully Galileo never did.
764
00:38:05,620 --> 00:38:07,780
But by looking up, he
went against the state.
765
00:38:07,780 --> 00:38:10,790
Not a state of arms, but
a state of mind and beliefs.
766
00:38:10,790 --> 00:38:12,740
Beliefs so distorted centuries later,
767
00:38:12,740 --> 00:38:14,430
that millions would detect track
768
00:38:14,430 --> 00:38:17,860
and identified by a state so
consumed with fear from within
769
00:38:17,860 --> 00:38:19,203
they couldn't see without,
770
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,350
is ironic in so many ways
that you have a space program
771
00:38:23,350 --> 00:38:24,730
that failed state.
772
00:38:24,730 --> 00:38:27,000
A state that is now an ally,
773
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,940
whose Chancellor went before your Congress
774
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:31,897
and recounted one phrase of the
constitution that proclaims,
775
00:38:31,897 --> 00:38:34,017
"Human dignity shall be inviolable."
776
00:38:36,090 --> 00:38:38,010
Sadly, the action you
are postulating today,
777
00:38:38,010 --> 00:38:40,820
is a violation of the dignity
and the oath you took.
778
00:38:40,820 --> 00:38:43,590
Simply, "There is no price one can set
779
00:38:43,590 --> 00:38:46,510
on the future of humanity
so long as it is tempered
780
00:38:46,510 --> 00:38:48,950
with the best intentions of mankind."
781
00:38:48,950 --> 00:38:51,230
You said those words, Madam
President to your Congress
782
00:38:51,230 --> 00:38:53,983
to fund the space program,
not to militarize it.
783
00:38:55,930 --> 00:38:57,440
I wonder what giant leap for mankind
784
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,890
will be attained if you signed this order.
785
00:38:59,890 --> 00:39:02,556
Indeed, Madam President, the
Trojan horse in this room-
786
00:39:02,556 --> 00:39:03,632
- Sit down.
787
00:39:03,632 --> 00:39:06,215
(intense music)
788
00:39:18,132 --> 00:39:23,132
(claps) well, what a
wonderful speech that was,
789
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:28,640
full of life, perspective
and replete with history,
790
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:33,623
but not one solid contemporary
idea on what we should do.
791
00:39:36,128 --> 00:39:38,470
The history is littered
with people like you,
792
00:39:38,470 --> 00:39:40,890
all talk and no action.
793
00:39:40,890 --> 00:39:42,940
Neville Chamberlain would have loved you.
794
00:39:47,190 --> 00:39:52,190
But yes, I love this uniform
and what it represents.
795
00:39:56,940 --> 00:40:01,700
And I have no problem,
issue, or reservation
796
00:40:01,700 --> 00:40:05,940
saying that I support and
defend the constitution
797
00:40:05,940 --> 00:40:08,073
of the United States, period.
798
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:13,660
And if that goes against
your moral standings
799
00:40:13,660 --> 00:40:16,373
and sensibilities, so be it.
800
00:40:18,730 --> 00:40:19,703
That's your right.
801
00:40:20,710 --> 00:40:24,163
Because as an American,
you have that choice.
802
00:40:26,140 --> 00:40:30,883
That's the beauty of the
constitution, freedom of choice.
803
00:40:31,990 --> 00:40:35,603
And if that freedom gets
bloodied along the way, so be it.
804
00:40:36,650 --> 00:40:40,920
But I no longer have the
time, inclination or interest
805
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,173
in debating this with you any longer.
806
00:40:46,770 --> 00:40:49,870
I live in the here and now, not last week
807
00:40:49,870 --> 00:40:51,883
and not seven centuries ago.
808
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,460
And though history may have
some lessons to learn from,
809
00:40:57,460 --> 00:41:00,883
I have no interest in
writing its last chapter.
810
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,800
And I'll be God damned
811
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,003
if something else writes it for us.
812
00:41:12,164 --> 00:41:14,747
(intense music)
813
00:41:21,850 --> 00:41:23,250
Forgive me, Madam President.
814
00:41:24,550 --> 00:41:25,477
What say you?
815
00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:42,290
- It seems odd, does it?
816
00:41:43,170 --> 00:41:46,973
That we are here in a
bunker like wars long past.
817
00:41:48,810 --> 00:41:52,120
But today we decide on a
fate that none of us know
818
00:41:53,100 --> 00:41:54,100
or can even predict.
819
00:41:55,770 --> 00:41:57,530
I've always been a supporter
of the space program,
820
00:41:57,530 --> 00:41:58,363
you know that.
821
00:41:59,390 --> 00:42:02,000
But unlike presidents before me,
822
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,653
I am faced with the revelation
that mankind is not alone.
823
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,470
I have to believe that our intention
824
00:42:15,470 --> 00:42:19,310
has always been one of science,
but let's not kid ourselves.
825
00:42:19,310 --> 00:42:22,920
There's always been a
military component to this,
826
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,623
this next frontier.
827
00:42:27,770 --> 00:42:30,200
This is about the science of anything.
828
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,240
We need to know who or
what we're dealing with
829
00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:35,430
before we can deal with them.
830
00:42:35,430 --> 00:42:37,740
They have the upper hand
of what we don't know,
831
00:42:37,740 --> 00:42:40,253
but that is something
that we need to know.
832
00:42:42,915 --> 00:42:46,317
It's not about fear, but intelligence.
833
00:42:49,580 --> 00:42:51,260
I think we can all agree that
834
00:42:51,260 --> 00:42:53,060
before the New World was discovered,
835
00:42:54,180 --> 00:42:57,220
all Erikson had was the horizon to look at
836
00:42:58,210 --> 00:42:59,577
and it stars to guide him,
837
00:43:01,610 --> 00:43:03,790
but we need to know what the beyond this horizon,
838
00:43:04,830 --> 00:43:07,653
and why out of over 200 billions stars,
839
00:43:09,230 --> 00:43:10,380
they were guided to us.
840
00:43:11,540 --> 00:43:14,123
(upbeat music)
841
00:43:24,149 --> 00:43:27,681
I'm sorry, it's this world first.
842
00:43:27,681 --> 00:43:30,264
(ominous music)
843
00:44:42,213 --> 00:44:43,213
God help us.
844
00:44:44,477 --> 00:44:47,060
(ominous music)
845
00:45:20,950 --> 00:45:22,400
- Thank you, Madam President.
846
00:45:25,910 --> 00:45:27,580
For obvious reasons,
847
00:45:27,580 --> 00:45:32,250
updates will not appear on
your daily intelligence brief.
848
00:45:32,250 --> 00:45:34,040
- You can update my
office, General I'll -
849
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,713
- I'll update the president.
850
00:45:36,860 --> 00:45:39,780
- My job as the National
Security Advisor is to-
851
00:45:39,780 --> 00:45:43,550
- Advise the president on
matters of terrestrial security,
852
00:45:43,550 --> 00:45:44,803
not space.
853
00:45:45,746 --> 00:45:48,329
(ominous music)
854
00:45:51,580 --> 00:45:52,413
Madam President.
855
00:46:19,390 --> 00:46:21,530
Let's plan to meet when
you get back to Washington,
856
00:46:21,530 --> 00:46:23,570
I'm sure I'll have an update for you then.
857
00:46:23,570 --> 00:46:24,403
- Very good, General.
858
00:46:24,403 --> 00:46:26,130
- Of course, all my best at the G7.
859
00:46:26,990 --> 00:46:30,090
This invasion by the
Russian's not good.
860
00:46:30,090 --> 00:46:32,040
Hard to believe they were once an ally.
861
00:46:41,330 --> 00:46:42,163
Major?
862
00:46:42,163 --> 00:46:42,996
- Yes, sir.
863
00:46:42,996 --> 00:46:44,240
- I'll see you at the briefing.
864
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:45,073
- Yes sir.
865
00:46:46,001 --> 00:46:47,882
- Madam President.
866
00:46:47,882 --> 00:46:50,589
(upbeat music)
867
00:46:50,589 --> 00:46:53,172
(door opening)
868
00:46:56,033 --> 00:46:58,700
(door shutting)
869
00:47:10,254 --> 00:47:13,087
(papers flipping)
870
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,390
- Major, I'd like to have that file.
871
00:47:19,390 --> 00:47:20,540
- Yes, Madam President.
872
00:47:25,189 --> 00:47:26,356
- And the USB?
873
00:47:27,490 --> 00:47:29,840
- Madam President, I
don't think I could...
874
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,377
Of course, Madam President.
875
00:47:42,070 --> 00:47:44,373
- How many of us have
dreamed of this moment?
876
00:47:45,460 --> 00:47:47,860
The moment when we learned
that we're not alone?
877
00:47:49,498 --> 00:47:51,620
And what's the first step that we take?
878
00:47:51,620 --> 00:47:52,543
A military one.
879
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,973
History will record the
day I signed this order.
880
00:48:00,810 --> 00:48:02,260
My God, what have I done?
881
00:48:02,260 --> 00:48:05,130
- You've done what is
necessary for the moment
882
00:48:05,130 --> 00:48:06,820
because something tells me the alternative
883
00:48:06,820 --> 00:48:08,900
may have been far worse.
884
00:48:08,900 --> 00:48:11,840
While I don't agree with it,
I understand your decision.
885
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,700
History is replete with moments like this,
886
00:48:14,700 --> 00:48:16,760
but moments are never the whole picture
887
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,060
that is yet to be painted.
888
00:48:20,663 --> 00:48:23,560
- I wish I could share your
spirited optimism, Cedric.
889
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,433
- Optimism is what we
must have, Madam President
890
00:48:26,433 --> 00:48:28,883
so the darkest hour turns
into the brightest day.
891
00:48:31,630 --> 00:48:34,140
- Madam President, it was a
pleasure to meet you today.
892
00:48:34,140 --> 00:48:35,800
I'm sorry the circumstances.
893
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,140
- Think nothing of it, Major.
894
00:48:37,140 --> 00:48:41,320
These are revealing times,
if not conflicted ones.
895
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,600
- May I ask which base you
might be visiting next?
896
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:45,770
- You may ask.
897
00:48:45,770 --> 00:48:47,100
- Major, may I ask where you're headed?
898
00:48:47,100 --> 00:48:48,630
I could use a ride to the field.
899
00:48:48,630 --> 00:48:50,657
- Mr. Griffin was your ride, I gather.
900
00:48:50,657 --> 00:48:51,960
- Yes, I could hire a car, but-
901
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,320
- No, no, that'd be fine.
902
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,890
I'm not due back at Chievres
until later this afternoon.
903
00:48:56,890 --> 00:48:58,550
I'd be happy to do it.
904
00:48:58,550 --> 00:49:02,943
- Thank you. Madam President,
until our next meeting.
905
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,273
- Safe travels, Cedric.
906
00:49:07,570 --> 00:49:08,610
- Madam President.
907
00:49:08,610 --> 00:49:09,443
- Elisabeth.
908
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:14,513
- Ma'am.
909
00:49:17,607 --> 00:49:20,190
(ominous music)
910
00:49:24,157 --> 00:49:25,135
(door opening)
911
00:49:25,135 --> 00:49:27,718
(upbeat music)
912
00:49:29,056 --> 00:49:31,723
(door shutting)
913
00:49:36,469 --> 00:49:39,010
- With the stroke of a pen,
914
00:49:39,010 --> 00:49:40,763
I just unleashed hell on Earth.
915
00:49:46,004 --> 00:49:48,587
(door opening)
916
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,810
- Where am I taking you?
917
00:49:54,810 --> 00:49:58,060
- It's a private field about
10 kilometers from the city.
918
00:49:58,060 --> 00:49:59,416
I'll direct you.
919
00:49:59,416 --> 00:50:02,666
- If you have the address I can GPS it.
920
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:07,603
- Why did you sign it?
921
00:50:10,900 --> 00:50:13,050
- We needed to know
who we're dealing with.
922
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,820
Since the knowledge of an
alien presence on Earth
923
00:50:16,820 --> 00:50:19,020
was conveyed to me by my predecessor,
924
00:50:19,020 --> 00:50:21,400
on the day after I assumed office,
925
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,100
my fear has always been
that at some point,
926
00:50:24,100 --> 00:50:26,440
the military would rest
control of our armed forces
927
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:27,540
from civilian command.
928
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:30,500
It's easier to monitor
him if I agree with him.
929
00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:35,500
If I fight him, he'll burrow
into a hole so deep and black,
930
00:50:36,770 --> 00:50:39,070
not even Kepler could
find him (sighs loudly).
931
00:50:45,300 --> 00:50:47,913
Issue the code, Argonaut Two.
932
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,223
Argonaut, he's not here.
933
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,563
- Yes, he is. Contact his embassy.
934
00:50:58,870 --> 00:51:01,320
- Yes. Yes, Madam President.
935
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,403
- Elisabeth, everyone's been identified,
936
00:51:05,530 --> 00:51:07,140
take every precaution.
937
00:51:10,612 --> 00:51:13,391
(door opening)
938
00:51:13,391 --> 00:51:16,564
(door shutting)
939
00:51:16,564 --> 00:51:18,981
(soft music)
940
00:52:15,925 --> 00:52:19,008
(footsteps thumping)
941
00:52:22,299 --> 00:52:23,491
(door shutting)
942
00:52:23,491 --> 00:52:25,908
(soft music)
943
00:53:28,932 --> 00:53:31,682
(suspense music)
944
00:54:18,750 --> 00:54:22,250
(airplane engine roaring)
945
00:54:30,997 --> 00:54:33,747
(suspense music)
946
00:55:22,370 --> 00:55:23,430
- Senator Hadrian
947
00:55:24,420 --> 00:55:27,230
- I'm sure you've had enough
formalities for one day.
948
00:55:27,230 --> 00:55:28,157
Paul will do.
949
00:55:28,157 --> 00:55:30,070
- And so will this.
950
00:55:30,070 --> 00:55:31,510
- Excellent.
951
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:33,230
- Anything on Yonah?
952
00:55:33,230 --> 00:55:34,580
- No, nothing.
953
00:55:34,580 --> 00:55:37,200
There are no records on a
Cedric Yonah in any civilian
954
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,560
or military database.
955
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,220
- What? He's a science attache for Colton.
956
00:55:42,220 --> 00:55:43,980
- Hmm. No, he isn't.
957
00:55:43,980 --> 00:55:45,080
Our intel can't decide
958
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:46,920
if he was invited by Seward or Griffin.
959
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,830
- And what about him? Griffin?
960
00:55:48,830 --> 00:55:52,390
He checks out so far,
but if he was in Germany,
961
00:55:52,390 --> 00:55:53,890
he didn't go through Brussels.
962
00:55:54,820 --> 00:55:55,990
- How did he leave?
963
00:55:55,990 --> 00:55:59,730
- Helicopter, no flight plan
and even more disturbing,
964
00:55:59,730 --> 00:56:01,900
we've lost him on the radar.
965
00:56:01,900 --> 00:56:04,720
- That's not possible in this airspace.
966
00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:06,963
- Someone made it possible just like this.
967
00:56:09,030 --> 00:56:10,233
- What the hell?
968
00:56:12,030 --> 00:56:13,953
- They're all like this from the meeting.
969
00:56:15,130 --> 00:56:18,480
But if you take a look at
your drive, they're all fine.
970
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:19,900
That camera we hid in your fruit salad
971
00:56:19,900 --> 00:56:21,750
seemed to work wonderfully.
972
00:56:21,750 --> 00:56:24,250
And we picked up your
signal as you came topside.
973
00:56:25,500 --> 00:56:27,270
- [Reager] It's not mechanical.
974
00:56:27,270 --> 00:56:28,270
- No. And I'm afraid
975
00:56:28,270 --> 00:56:30,800
Sampson is gonna have the same results.
976
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,140
By the way, we haven't heard from her
977
00:56:32,140 --> 00:56:34,490
since she went down
underneath for the meeting.
978
00:56:35,550 --> 00:56:37,000
Has she reported back to you?
979
00:56:38,140 --> 00:56:39,890
- That's disturbing.
980
00:56:39,890 --> 00:56:43,220
I disabled the Faraday
shield after I left.
981
00:56:43,220 --> 00:56:45,780
Click back to the meeting.
982
00:56:45,780 --> 00:56:48,440
No, something's not right.
983
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,033
No background, no picture.
984
00:56:53,905 --> 00:56:55,260
You don't think you could
be one of the people?
985
00:56:55,260 --> 00:56:56,253
- Who knows?
986
00:56:59,450 --> 00:57:01,500
- Well, whoever he is, he knows who I am.
987
00:57:03,184 --> 00:57:05,178
- But we know who he works with.
988
00:57:05,178 --> 00:57:07,528
And this meeting was
always about intelligence.
989
00:57:08,513 --> 00:57:11,096
(soft music)
990
00:57:46,972 --> 00:57:48,654
(knocking on the door)
991
00:57:48,654 --> 00:57:51,237
(soft music)
992
00:58:00,300 --> 00:58:01,133
- Yes.
993
00:58:02,306 --> 00:58:04,889
(door opening)
994
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,840
- Madam President, the Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom
995
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:12,877
and the President of
the Russian Federation.
996
00:58:12,877 --> 00:58:13,710
(door shutting)
997
00:58:13,710 --> 00:58:15,480
- Alison, thank you so much.
998
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,810
- Well, I was just upstairs, but...
999
00:58:17,810 --> 00:58:20,053
- Sergei, I appreciate this.
1000
00:58:20,053 --> 00:58:21,453
You know I wouldn't have called
Argonaut Two if it wasn't-
1001
00:58:21,453 --> 00:58:22,513
- Elisabeth briefed us.
1002
00:58:22,513 --> 00:58:23,500
- Stephen, where is Elisabeth?
1003
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:26,480
- She's in communication
with the Synedrion Council.
1004
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,722
- Let us know when she returns. Thank you.
1005
00:58:28,722 --> 00:58:30,222
- Madam President.
1006
00:58:33,750 --> 00:58:35,693
- Allison, there's coffee, tea.
1007
00:58:37,020 --> 00:58:39,603
(soft music)
1008
00:58:51,179 --> 00:58:53,292
- You didn't push the panic
button because of a satellite
1009
00:58:53,292 --> 00:58:54,811
we already knew about.
1010
00:58:54,811 --> 00:58:55,997
Your military is out of control.
1011
00:58:55,997 --> 00:58:59,520
- And yours isn't? You
invaded and annexed Crimea.
1012
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,180
- Crimea's parliament
voted for independence.
1013
00:59:01,180 --> 00:59:04,030
- Oh, please. After you installed
a pro Russian government.
1014
00:59:04,030 --> 00:59:05,561
- Your sanctions against us will not be-
1015
00:59:05,561 --> 00:59:08,833
- Sergei. Helen. We're not here
1016
00:59:08,833 --> 00:59:10,383
to talk about matters of state.
1017
00:59:11,998 --> 00:59:14,415
(soft music)
1018
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:18,100
- You're right?
1019
00:59:18,100 --> 00:59:21,103
Of course. My apologies.
1020
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,053
- Well, now that we have detente.
1021
00:59:43,300 --> 00:59:46,930
Helen, Argonaut Two is only called
1022
00:59:46,930 --> 00:59:49,940
when one of the space is
an imminent outside threat,
1023
00:59:49,940 --> 00:59:53,124
but this isn't outside it's inside.
1024
00:59:53,124 --> 00:59:55,541
(soft music)
1025
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,590
- I had no idea you were
such a historian on space,
1026
01:00:01,590 --> 01:00:02,460
Elisabeth.
1027
01:00:02,460 --> 01:00:04,863
- That's why I'm here. I briefed her.
1028
01:00:08,370 --> 01:00:10,670
- Well, one thing was quite clear,
1029
01:00:10,670 --> 01:00:13,943
Seward and Yonah are not
casual acquaintances.
1030
01:00:15,030 --> 01:00:18,083
I wonder, have we been played?
1031
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:20,930
- In what sense?
1032
01:00:20,930 --> 01:00:23,320
- There are only two possibilities.
1033
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,693
Either they made a mistake, which I doubt.
1034
01:00:26,807 --> 01:00:28,240
Or they deliberately sent a signal
1035
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,233
through Milstar to smoke us out.
1036
01:00:31,530 --> 01:00:33,710
I don't think it was the former.
1037
01:00:33,710 --> 01:00:35,720
- Why would they possibly do that?
1038
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:40,720
- Answers. The crash in
47. The conference in 72.
1039
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,400
He mentioned reverse engineering
1040
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,050
and seemed to go off a
cliff when I told him
1041
01:00:46,050 --> 01:00:47,150
we decoded the signal.
1042
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,200
We've been waiting for a move.
1043
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:51,620
This could have been it.
1044
01:00:51,620 --> 01:00:53,373
- No, I don't see it.
1045
01:00:54,290 --> 01:00:57,020
Would you have given the
Taliban classified intel
1046
01:00:57,020 --> 01:00:59,710
to disclosed their exact locations?
1047
01:00:59,710 --> 01:01:02,193
No. Misinformation, of course.
1048
01:01:03,353 --> 01:01:05,520
And you remember the day
the signal was cracked
1049
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:08,830
and you took the information,
clarified it with our records.
1050
01:01:08,830 --> 01:01:10,143
You nearly had a stroke.
1051
01:01:11,290 --> 01:01:14,250
And the method we use
to crack that signal,
1052
01:01:14,250 --> 01:01:16,450
the Geneva Convention
doesn't apply to them.
1053
01:01:19,214 --> 01:01:20,047
- Them!
1054
01:01:21,853 --> 01:01:23,860
(mysterious music)
1055
01:01:23,860 --> 01:01:25,260
- Does he know about Apollo?
1056
01:01:29,787 --> 01:01:32,620
- This invasion by
the Russians, not good.
1057
01:01:32,620 --> 01:01:34,570
Hard to believe they were once an ally.
1058
01:01:37,210 --> 01:01:39,993
- Helen, this is bigger than Apollo.
1059
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,033
It transcends all of us.
1060
01:01:47,130 --> 01:01:48,813
- Jesus Christ.
1061
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:51,570
- And he's not working alone.
1062
01:01:53,410 --> 01:01:55,410
- What was her reaction?
1063
01:01:55,410 --> 01:01:56,243
- Dejected.
1064
01:01:58,690 --> 01:01:59,540
- And insurgency?
1065
01:02:00,630 --> 01:02:02,640
- I suspect in all our militaries.
1066
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,860
that's why I called Argonaut Two.
1067
01:02:04,860 --> 01:02:06,930
Like the first during the war
1068
01:02:06,930 --> 01:02:09,223
the only way to win this
one is if we cooperate.
1069
01:02:12,510 --> 01:02:15,060
- Reager gives a whole new
meaning to fifth column.
1070
01:02:16,620 --> 01:02:18,050
- What about Hadrian?
1071
01:02:18,050 --> 01:02:21,103
Is he part of this insurgency
or just an unwilling pawn?
1072
01:02:22,818 --> 01:02:24,000
- It's hard to say at this point.
1073
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:25,990
His committee has oversight
over the military.
1074
01:02:25,990 --> 01:02:29,420
So it makes sense that he's
in communication with him.
1075
01:02:29,420 --> 01:02:31,280
And there's also a
rumor that he's going to
1076
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,370
be Anderson's VP pick in the
next presidential election.
1077
01:02:34,370 --> 01:02:35,953
- Then we should keep him close.
1078
01:02:37,620 --> 01:02:40,420
- Telling Colton about Apollo
was the right thing to do.
1079
01:02:41,530 --> 01:02:43,217
She can't do anything about this publicly,
1080
01:02:43,217 --> 01:02:44,703
but we can privately.
1081
01:02:45,970 --> 01:02:47,370
This is about parity.
1082
01:02:47,370 --> 01:02:49,980
The playing field needs to be leveled.
1083
01:02:49,980 --> 01:02:51,570
- [Pilot] There's a whole fleet of them.
1084
01:02:51,570 --> 01:02:53,653
Look on the S.A. My gosh.
1085
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:57,792
They're all going against the wind.
1086
01:02:57,792 --> 01:02:59,953
The wind is 120 knots to the west.
1087
01:02:59,953 --> 01:03:02,073
- That was as close as we ever got.
1088
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,790
- Nothing the air force has
can compete with any of these.
1089
01:03:06,790 --> 01:03:08,590
We need to get at least one of them.
1090
01:03:09,630 --> 01:03:12,270
What's the update with our prototype?
1091
01:03:12,270 --> 01:03:14,193
- In about 36 to 48 months.
1092
01:03:16,500 --> 01:03:18,160
What if she shows up?
1093
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,580
We can't deny the
Commander-in-Chief access.
1094
01:03:21,580 --> 01:03:23,740
If she learns what we've diverted funding
1095
01:03:23,740 --> 01:03:25,800
from NASA's Orion program for.
1096
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:27,940
- That's why you went in with Troy
1097
01:03:27,940 --> 01:03:29,493
to make this diversion legal.
1098
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:32,720
Besides, too many of Sampson's group
1099
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,640
already know about the signal,
1100
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:36,090
We had to tell the president.
1101
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:40,970
- The meeting with Reager was never about
1102
01:03:40,970 --> 01:03:42,440
discovering the satellite,
1103
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,320
but who would surface
from within the military.
1104
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,010
That was their plan.
1105
01:03:46,010 --> 01:03:48,823
Since 72, they've been
desperate for intelligence.
1106
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:50,950
Can't say I blame them.
1107
01:03:51,940 --> 01:03:55,090
But today both sides lost
because all of the key players
1108
01:03:55,090 --> 01:03:56,693
have been revealed to each other.
1109
01:03:57,540 --> 01:03:59,113
If anyone was a pawn, it was me.
1110
01:04:01,342 --> 01:04:02,992
- And Cedric came to the meeting?
1111
01:04:04,170 --> 01:04:06,683
He hasn't been seen in
public since the war.
1112
01:04:08,223 --> 01:04:09,190
- He insisted.
1113
01:04:09,190 --> 01:04:10,320
we tried to reason with him,
1114
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,100
but there was no changing his mind.
1115
01:04:13,100 --> 01:04:16,439
Reager only heard and
saw what he wanted too.
1116
01:04:16,439 --> 01:04:17,540
- There's no choice then.
1117
01:04:17,540 --> 01:04:19,418
We need to give the peace.
1118
01:04:19,418 --> 01:04:22,028
At any cost because the next war
1119
01:04:22,028 --> 01:04:23,628
could throw us to the dark ages.
1120
01:04:25,260 --> 01:04:28,093
- Then we need a grand
alliance and a united front.
1121
01:04:33,790 --> 01:04:36,750
- If Colton shows up, she'll
need to make a choice,
1122
01:04:36,750 --> 01:04:38,170
either this world or theirs
1123
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,360
because until we know the extent
this alien force has on us,
1124
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,060
there's only one thing left to do.
1125
01:04:52,459 --> 01:04:54,876
(soft music)
1126
01:05:15,670 --> 01:05:16,880
- Put me through to Space Command
1127
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:18,343
at Peterson Air Force Base.
1128
01:05:24,170 --> 01:05:25,890
This is General Reager,
1129
01:05:25,890 --> 01:05:28,823
by authorization of the
President of the United States,
1130
01:05:29,710 --> 01:05:31,190
initiate Operation Troy.
1131
01:05:32,377 --> 01:05:35,377
(suspenseful music)
1132
01:05:36,995 --> 01:05:38,400
(keyboard clicking)
1133
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,400
(suspenseful music)
1134
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:07,300
- Reager's got everyone on the offensive.
1135
01:06:07,300 --> 01:06:10,210
So we need to keep all
eyes looking down at Earth
1136
01:06:10,210 --> 01:06:11,110
rather than above.
1137
01:06:12,011 --> 01:06:12,844
- Conflicts.
1138
01:06:14,830 --> 01:06:18,610
- Yes and regional wars
that we can contain
1139
01:06:18,610 --> 01:06:20,770
through back channels like this one.
1140
01:06:20,770 --> 01:06:22,860
And then while that
front is moving forward,
1141
01:06:22,860 --> 01:06:25,830
we can start gathering
intelligence on Reager's operation.
1142
01:06:25,830 --> 01:06:27,580
- Follow the money.
1143
01:06:27,580 --> 01:06:28,413
- Exactly.
1144
01:06:29,620 --> 01:06:31,910
The Pentagon's Advanced
Aviation Threat Identification
1145
01:06:31,910 --> 01:06:33,800
Program ran out of money in 2012.
1146
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,043
So he can't hide behind that.
1147
01:06:36,950 --> 01:06:38,810
And he's probably already
tapped what he feels,
1148
01:06:38,810 --> 01:06:40,890
the CBO and treasury won't discover
1149
01:06:40,890 --> 01:06:42,240
along with black ops money.
1150
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,940
But now he needs money for
something else, something big.
1151
01:06:46,940 --> 01:06:48,270
I can feel it.
1152
01:06:48,270 --> 01:06:49,390
And it's not the sat networks,
1153
01:06:49,390 --> 01:06:51,540
they're already up and running.
1154
01:06:51,540 --> 01:06:54,990
- Well, while the money is being traced
1155
01:06:54,990 --> 01:06:58,500
there's plenty of hotspots
to ignite regional conflicts.
1156
01:06:58,500 --> 01:06:59,540
We have to decide-
1157
01:06:59,540 --> 01:07:03,393
- Excuse me, (nervous laugh) let's
hit pause for a moment.
1158
01:07:07,950 --> 01:07:10,057
Before we start playing God,
1159
01:07:11,390 --> 01:07:13,270
don't you think the time has come
1160
01:07:13,270 --> 01:07:15,163
that they reveal themselves?
1161
01:07:16,340 --> 01:07:18,243
- They tried that, Alison in 72.
1162
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:21,720
I agree with Reager on one point,
1163
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,010
we all know that despite
the yearning of the masses,
1164
01:07:24,010 --> 01:07:26,720
wanting to know that they're
not alone in this universe,
1165
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:28,263
they actually prefer it that way.
1166
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:30,830
Look, I don't like this
job any more than you do,
1167
01:07:30,830 --> 01:07:32,240
but no prime minister or president
1168
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:33,480
should be saddled with this knowledge.
1169
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:34,993
Nevermind, responsibility.
1170
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,593
That is the hand we've
been dealt, and thank God.
1171
01:07:39,670 --> 01:07:43,220
So we're here playing cards
in this cosmic game of poker,
1172
01:07:43,220 --> 01:07:44,270
I'll aim for a Royal.
1173
01:07:46,740 --> 01:07:48,923
- And let's be clear Allison.
1174
01:07:48,923 --> 01:07:50,780
This is not about playing God,
1175
01:07:50,780 --> 01:07:53,506
it is about delaying revelation.
1176
01:07:53,506 --> 01:07:55,090
Reager thinks he knows his enemy,
1177
01:07:55,090 --> 01:07:57,950
but his enemy is not who he thinks it is.
1178
01:07:57,950 --> 01:07:59,313
He's acting conventionally.
1179
01:08:00,740 --> 01:08:02,700
And if it's true that like-minded people,
1180
01:08:02,700 --> 01:08:06,165
in our respective military
and intelligence operations
1181
01:08:06,165 --> 01:08:08,330
have been compromised
and are following him,
1182
01:08:08,330 --> 01:08:10,660
then the only thing left for us to do
1183
01:08:10,660 --> 01:08:13,413
is to make their job on Earth
as difficult as possible.
1184
01:08:15,110 --> 01:08:19,450
We of all nations should know
that peace is not bloodness.
1185
01:08:19,450 --> 01:08:22,573
The last thing any of us
need is a united insurgency.
1186
01:08:25,001 --> 01:08:27,383
To quote one of your predecessors,
1187
01:08:27,383 --> 01:08:30,020
"There is no time for ease and comfort.
1188
01:08:30,020 --> 01:08:32,327
It is time to dare and endure."
1189
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:35,880
- Sergei, I think we can all agree
1190
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:40,020
that nothing about this
is easy or comforting,
1191
01:08:40,020 --> 01:08:43,150
but when the day comes that we
no longer question ourselves,
1192
01:08:43,150 --> 01:08:47,234
we become the very people
we're trying to defeat.
1193
01:08:47,234 --> 01:08:50,098
Let us hope we endure this.
1194
01:08:50,098 --> 01:08:52,848
(air raid siren)
1195
01:09:13,956 --> 01:09:15,805
- I understand.
1196
01:09:15,805 --> 01:09:18,880
(phone bangs)
1197
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,573
Sampson left with Cedric 15 minutes ago,
1198
01:09:23,670 --> 01:09:26,950
and there's a radar and
communications blackout
1199
01:09:26,950 --> 01:09:30,293
that radiates out 15
kilometers from the city.
1200
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:36,153
- Griffin disappears, Cedric
can't be identified, no comms.
1201
01:09:37,625 --> 01:09:39,958
This can't be a coincidence.
1202
01:09:45,780 --> 01:09:47,530
Put me through to Commander Halsey.
1203
01:09:48,594 --> 01:09:51,594
(suspenseful music)
1204
01:09:59,430 --> 01:10:02,150
- You should continue
pushing into Donbass.
1205
01:10:02,150 --> 01:10:04,760
- What about the Security
Council and NATO?
1206
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,510
- Three of the five permanent
members are in this room.
1207
01:10:09,250 --> 01:10:14,173
Ukraine is not part of NATO
so article five doesn't apply.
1208
01:10:16,900 --> 01:10:18,223
Germany will complain,
1209
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,680
but their economy relies
on your good graces
1210
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:23,853
so it will go nowhere.
1211
01:10:25,510 --> 01:10:28,510
Maybe superficial sanctions,
but that's as far as it will go
1212
01:10:31,330 --> 01:10:32,890
- Coalition airstrikes against ISIL
1213
01:10:32,890 --> 01:10:34,290
will be starting next month.
1214
01:10:35,700 --> 01:10:39,690
With our intelligence, we
can assist ISIL's reach
1215
01:10:39,690 --> 01:10:41,040
outside of their caliphate.
1216
01:10:42,715 --> 01:10:47,620
- Dear God, Helen. Do you
know what you're saying?
1217
01:10:47,620 --> 01:10:48,520
If this gets out-
1218
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,190
- Allison, if you have a
pious solution for this,
1219
01:10:51,190 --> 01:10:52,093
we're all ears.
1220
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,550
Arresting Reager and
Hadrian is not an option.
1221
01:10:55,550 --> 01:10:57,723
First, there's no legal basis for it.
1222
01:10:57,723 --> 01:10:59,330
I mean, dismissing Reager
would be one thing,
1223
01:10:59,330 --> 01:11:01,593
but removing a sitting Senator?
1224
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:04,890
And let's be clear,
1225
01:11:04,890 --> 01:11:06,940
if cornered their option
could lead to a conflict
1226
01:11:06,940 --> 01:11:07,940
of biblical proportions.
1227
01:11:07,940 --> 01:11:08,773
You know that.
1228
01:11:10,580 --> 01:11:12,670
Just like everyone else in this game,
1229
01:11:12,670 --> 01:11:14,093
we need intelligence.
1230
01:11:14,963 --> 01:11:17,430
Not just for them, but for ourselves.
1231
01:11:17,430 --> 01:11:18,923
Because when this dam breaks,
1232
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:21,800
we better know who's on our ark.
1233
01:11:24,780 --> 01:11:25,613
Debate's over
1234
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:38,880
- Well, as for debate, you
knew there's growing voice
1235
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,333
in the UK to leave the European Union.
1236
01:11:43,260 --> 01:11:47,290
If the vote is to leave, it
will send the markets in turmoil
1237
01:11:47,290 --> 01:11:50,053
and destabilize the European economy.
1238
01:11:52,980 --> 01:11:56,480
But we can't force people to
vote one way or the other.
1239
01:11:56,480 --> 01:11:57,980
- Elections can be influenced.
1240
01:11:58,850 --> 01:12:00,010
Depending on the outcome,
1241
01:12:00,010 --> 01:12:02,720
we could keep intelligence agencies
1242
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:04,473
and governments busy for years.
1243
01:12:05,710 --> 01:12:07,390
The question you need to ask yourself
1244
01:12:07,390 --> 01:12:09,750
is who do you want to
occupy the oval office
1245
01:12:09,750 --> 01:12:10,857
after you leave.
1246
01:12:11,911 --> 01:12:13,650
Who do you think is best equipped
1247
01:12:13,650 --> 01:12:15,563
to handle matters of space?
1248
01:12:17,250 --> 01:12:19,600
This is where we keep our friends close,
1249
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:21,092
but our enemies closer.
1250
01:12:21,092 --> 01:12:24,118
(door opening)
1251
01:12:24,118 --> 01:12:27,118
(suspenseful music)
1252
01:12:46,116 --> 01:12:49,199
(car engine roaring)
1253
01:12:55,570 --> 01:12:58,290
- Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
1254
01:12:58,290 --> 01:13:02,760
The council has known for some
time that there is one hangar
1255
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:04,410
that central can not see through.
1256
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:07,780
As General Reager has been identified
1257
01:13:07,780 --> 01:13:11,070
as part of this military insurgency
1258
01:13:11,070 --> 01:13:15,660
and with his frequent trips to
the base, the time has come,
1259
01:13:15,660 --> 01:13:18,713
where we need to know
what's inside that hanger.
1260
01:13:19,830 --> 01:13:20,683
A bit of history.
1261
01:13:21,690 --> 01:13:23,380
During the Cold War, Wright was home
1262
01:13:23,380 --> 01:13:25,100
to the Aeronautical System Center
1263
01:13:25,100 --> 01:13:28,240
and the National Air and
Space Intelligence Center.
1264
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:31,770
If there was a new aerospace
weapon or intelligence system
1265
01:13:31,770 --> 01:13:34,270
it was conceived, designed, tested,
1266
01:13:34,270 --> 01:13:36,163
and deployed from Wright,
1267
01:13:37,170 --> 01:13:40,883
but it was World War II
that brought it home to us.
1268
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:46,100
just after the war, Operation
Paperclip landed 200 plus
1269
01:13:46,100 --> 01:13:49,800
Nazi German scientists
and technicians at Wright.
1270
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,460
The most famous of them
was Wernher von Braun,
1271
01:13:52,460 --> 01:13:56,420
whose Saturn V rockets,
landed men on the moon in 1969
1272
01:13:57,440 --> 01:14:00,410
and resulted in the greatest cover-up
1273
01:14:00,410 --> 01:14:01,883
in Earth's known history.
1274
01:14:06,420 --> 01:14:10,180
- Does the council have any
idea what's in that hangar?
1275
01:14:10,180 --> 01:14:13,023
- None. And security is biometric.
1276
01:14:14,290 --> 01:14:15,930
- Well, the answer is simple,
1277
01:14:15,930 --> 01:14:18,120
Wright is your the next base inspection.
1278
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:21,483
- As Commander-in-Chief, you're
the only one that can go.
1279
01:14:23,050 --> 01:14:26,503
- Well, there may be
another, but time is short.
1280
01:14:31,730 --> 01:14:36,283
If I do this, we lay every,
every card on the table.
1281
01:14:38,300 --> 01:14:39,430
I think we should wait.
1282
01:14:39,430 --> 01:14:41,030
- What for?
1283
01:14:41,030 --> 01:14:43,700
You need to take the same lead with Reager
1284
01:14:43,700 --> 01:14:44,900
as you just did with us.
1285
01:14:46,415 --> 01:14:48,998
(ominous music)
1286
01:15:25,290 --> 01:15:28,567
(heavy wind blowing)
1287
01:15:28,567 --> 01:15:32,267
(car doors banging)
1288
01:15:32,267 --> 01:15:35,017
(birds tweeting)
1289
01:15:36,290 --> 01:15:37,890
- Glad you knew how to get here.
1290
01:15:39,140 --> 01:15:41,123
It's weird that GPS didn't work.
1291
01:15:42,575 --> 01:15:45,325
(birds tweeting)
1292
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:52,470
That was a long call you had,
I hate teleconference calls,
1293
01:15:52,470 --> 01:15:54,040
especially when you just have to listen
1294
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:55,733
while someone else drones on.
1295
01:15:58,080 --> 01:15:59,120
- Just because I was listening
1296
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,303
doesn't mean I wasn't saying anything.
1297
01:16:01,303 --> 01:16:03,886
(upbeat music)
1298
01:16:07,361 --> 01:16:08,194
(birds tweeting)
1299
01:16:08,194 --> 01:16:10,440
- (sighs) It looks like
your ride's not here yet.
1300
01:16:10,440 --> 01:16:11,640
Do you need to call someone?
1301
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:12,473
Nope.
1302
01:16:13,630 --> 01:16:16,360
(birds tweeting)
1303
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,500
So tell me Ellen, you've
been in the military what?
1304
01:16:18,500 --> 01:16:20,030
Since high school?
1305
01:16:20,030 --> 01:16:21,500
- Just about.
1306
01:16:21,500 --> 01:16:24,000
- What brought you to the
air force, specifically?
1307
01:16:25,650 --> 01:16:27,450
- Well, ever since I was a kid,
1308
01:16:27,450 --> 01:16:29,500
I wanted to know how to fly.
1309
01:16:29,500 --> 01:16:31,270
At first, it was just
the remote control planes
1310
01:16:31,270 --> 01:16:32,876
and then before I knew it,
1311
01:16:32,876 --> 01:16:35,200
I was learning to fly a
Cessna while in high school.
1312
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:36,907
My father showed me.
1313
01:16:36,907 --> 01:16:38,910
- He was a pilot? Your
parents must be proud.
1314
01:16:38,910 --> 01:16:41,220
- Yes. Commercial. He is.
1315
01:16:41,220 --> 01:16:42,470
Mom?
1316
01:16:42,470 --> 01:16:43,843
- She died when I was 10.
1317
01:16:44,730 --> 01:16:46,040
- Sorry.
1318
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:48,113
- Oh, thank you. It's all right.
1319
01:16:49,550 --> 01:16:51,463
So it was just my dad, me.
1320
01:16:52,570 --> 01:16:53,930
I used to love when he would sneak me
1321
01:16:53,930 --> 01:16:55,083
on to the flight deck.
1322
01:16:56,180 --> 01:16:59,120
- Flying is rather intoxicating, isn't it?
1323
01:16:59,120 --> 01:16:59,953
- Oh, yes.
1324
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:03,343
- Doing some work on the F-35?
1325
01:17:05,100 --> 01:17:06,470
- Not as much as I would like,
1326
01:17:06,470 --> 01:17:08,413
program is a development nightmare.
1327
01:17:09,930 --> 01:17:10,763
- So I hear.
1328
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,860
So then you got a degree
in aerospace engineering.
1329
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:17,320
- Yes. How did you know?
1330
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:20,360
- Just an educated guess
with your satellite work.
1331
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,940
Any other reasons why
you joined the military?
1332
01:17:22,940 --> 01:17:24,492
Forgive my asking.
1333
01:17:24,492 --> 01:17:26,733
I always find the stories interesting.
1334
01:17:27,610 --> 01:17:30,820
- I guess a sense of adventure,
1335
01:17:30,820 --> 01:17:33,203
seeing new things, traveling.
1336
01:17:34,460 --> 01:17:35,293
What about you?
1337
01:17:35,293 --> 01:17:38,450
What made you so passionate
about science and history?
1338
01:17:38,450 --> 01:17:41,107
That was quite the speech
you gave to General Reager.
1339
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:44,660
- Well, when you've been
at it as long as I've been,
1340
01:17:44,660 --> 01:17:48,083
let's just say it's a
long experience, long.
1341
01:17:49,510 --> 01:17:51,610
But for me it's how science
transcends the past,
1342
01:17:51,610 --> 01:17:53,140
present and future.
1343
01:17:53,140 --> 01:17:56,300
I've always been curious, I
guess, wanting to contribute,
1344
01:17:56,300 --> 01:17:58,730
wanting to understand the unknown,
1345
01:17:58,730 --> 01:18:00,723
something my parents instilled in me.
1346
01:18:01,820 --> 01:18:04,210
They taught me to understand
that once you know the unknown,
1347
01:18:04,210 --> 01:18:07,163
it no longer frightens you
because you can learn from it.
1348
01:18:08,169 --> 01:18:10,907
But learning is three-dimensional
not two like Reager.
1349
01:18:11,917 --> 01:18:13,750
- You don't like him.
1350
01:18:13,750 --> 01:18:16,160
- It's nothing to do with
like, but it's everything to do
1351
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:17,580
with the fact that he came to that meeting
1352
01:18:17,580 --> 01:18:19,603
for one reason only, to get a signature.
1353
01:18:20,820 --> 01:18:23,010
- He's always been objective-driven.
1354
01:18:23,010 --> 01:18:26,130
He didn't rise to the rank he
has without being decisive.
1355
01:18:26,130 --> 01:18:28,510
- True. We all have our objectives.
1356
01:18:28,510 --> 01:18:30,610
Speaking of, you and your group
1357
01:18:30,610 --> 01:18:33,754
must've been pretty excited
when you made this discovery.
1358
01:18:33,754 --> 01:18:37,457
- Oh, it was incredible
1359
01:18:39,780 --> 01:18:41,703
to know that we're not alone,
1360
01:18:44,710 --> 01:18:48,703
but I'll admit it, I'm scared.
1361
01:18:51,955 --> 01:18:55,960
Maybe. Maybe I just don't
understand this unknown.
1362
01:18:57,780 --> 01:19:00,300
- Yet. You see what was exciting to me
1363
01:19:00,300 --> 01:19:02,720
was the fact that some
civilization found Earth
1364
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,490
worthy to look at, to study.
1365
01:19:04,490 --> 01:19:06,240
Kepler may already be looking back,
1366
01:19:07,270 --> 01:19:08,960
but there's a technology gap
1367
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:11,410
and so many don't understand
what they can't see.
1368
01:19:12,970 --> 01:19:15,520
Someday direct imaging from
Earth will be possible.
1369
01:19:16,393 --> 01:19:17,993
- I hope I'm around to see that.
1370
01:19:19,500 --> 01:19:22,210
- Unlike Reager, at least you want to see.
1371
01:19:22,210 --> 01:19:24,651
So how long have you worked with him?
1372
01:19:24,651 --> 01:19:27,560
- Of and on about 10 years? Why?
1373
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:28,563
- Do you trust him?
1374
01:19:29,440 --> 01:19:32,270
- That's quite a question
coming from a civilian.
1375
01:19:32,270 --> 01:19:34,270
It's not a matter of trust.
1376
01:19:34,270 --> 01:19:36,880
It's about following the chain of command
1377
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:39,050
- And respecting that chain?
1378
01:19:39,050 --> 01:19:39,893
- Absolutely.
1379
01:19:40,930 --> 01:19:42,350
- I can imagine then you're conflicted
1380
01:19:42,350 --> 01:19:45,707
because you're still wondering
how he decoded the signal.
1381
01:19:45,707 --> 01:19:47,860
What did Reager mean when he said,
1382
01:19:47,860 --> 01:19:48,693
- With everything we know,
1383
01:19:48,693 --> 01:19:51,240
we should have seen this one coming?
1384
01:19:53,273 --> 01:19:55,680
- How the hell did you hear that?
1385
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:56,820
You were across the room?
1386
01:19:56,820 --> 01:19:59,513
- It doesn't matter, what
does is what he meant.
1387
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:03,240
- Cedric, I've enjoyed our talk,
1388
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:06,550
but I am not disclosing
classified information.
1389
01:20:06,550 --> 01:20:09,240
I think you can wait for your ride alone.
1390
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:11,730
- Information that in addition
to anti-gravity propulsion,
1391
01:20:11,730 --> 01:20:13,430
the satellite had stealth technology
1392
01:20:13,430 --> 01:20:16,700
and in fact, disappeared
right in front of the X-37.
1393
01:20:16,700 --> 01:20:18,420
You remember what I told him?
1394
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:21,650
How long the satellite has been in orbit?
1395
01:20:22,659 --> 01:20:24,860
It could be one year, it could be 100.
1396
01:20:24,860 --> 01:20:26,010
It could be a thousand.
1397
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:29,480
- Neither one of you have any idea,
1398
01:20:29,480 --> 01:20:32,480
and it's been the subject
of numerous conversations.
1399
01:20:32,480 --> 01:20:34,863
There is something we both
know that Reager doesn't.
1400
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:37,380
You're sure it wasn't Earth-based signal
1401
01:20:37,380 --> 01:20:39,680
that reflected off some
piece of space debris?
1402
01:20:43,325 --> 01:20:46,694
When I asked you that you turned
ashen white, just like now.
1403
01:20:46,694 --> 01:20:49,110
It was that moment when
you and I made a connection.
1404
01:20:49,110 --> 01:20:50,700
Simply you lied to Reager either
1405
01:20:50,700 --> 01:20:52,500
because you didn't
understand what you detected
1406
01:20:52,500 --> 01:20:54,100
or didn't want to understand it.
1407
01:20:55,352 --> 01:20:56,840
If the signal originated
on earth from say,
1408
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:59,920
a radio telescope, that would
have been a different story.
1409
01:20:59,920 --> 01:21:02,490
The transmission originated
in the atmosphere
1410
01:21:02,490 --> 01:21:05,260
to the satellite at LG2 through Milstar,
1411
01:21:05,260 --> 01:21:07,090
and back to its origin.
1412
01:21:07,090 --> 01:21:08,440
- How do you know all this?
1413
01:21:09,610 --> 01:21:10,740
- Because I sent it
1414
01:21:13,721 --> 01:21:15,820
You know, as well as I
that signals intelligence
1415
01:21:15,820 --> 01:21:17,630
didn't decrypt the transmission.
1416
01:21:17,630 --> 01:21:19,270
Your civilian self probably wanted to know
1417
01:21:19,270 --> 01:21:21,190
how decryption was possible,
1418
01:21:21,190 --> 01:21:24,440
but your military training told
you to just follow command,
1419
01:21:24,440 --> 01:21:26,930
but something, something told you
1420
01:21:26,930 --> 01:21:29,203
to report the origin of
the signal differently.
1421
01:21:30,878 --> 01:21:35,140
"With everything we
know," what did he mean?
1422
01:21:35,140 --> 01:21:37,677
- I could go to jail for this.
1423
01:21:37,677 --> 01:21:39,870
- You're already in a jail of conflict,
1424
01:21:39,870 --> 01:21:41,420
an untenable command structure.
1425
01:21:44,090 --> 01:21:47,120
- It's not that I didn't
want to understand.
1426
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:48,513
I didn't want him to.
1427
01:21:49,580 --> 01:21:52,703
He's beyond obsessed with
anti-gravity propulsion.
1428
01:21:53,910 --> 01:21:56,150
He brought me and some
others in several years ago
1429
01:21:56,150 --> 01:21:58,280
to go through everything
we had on the subject,
1430
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:01,650
from Project Sign, Grudge and Blue Book
1431
01:22:01,650 --> 01:22:04,470
to black opps aerospace programs.
1432
01:22:04,470 --> 01:22:06,850
He even once showed us a video
1433
01:22:06,850 --> 01:22:11,510
of something flying at a
headwind of over 120 knots.
1434
01:22:11,510 --> 01:22:14,003
I say something because
it's still unidentified.
1435
01:22:15,530 --> 01:22:17,080
All of us were caught up in it.
1436
01:22:18,910 --> 01:22:20,590
- How far did you get?
1437
01:22:20,590 --> 01:22:24,700
- Theoretically, we made
some solid progress.
1438
01:22:24,700 --> 01:22:26,440
When he had his transfer everything we had
1439
01:22:26,440 --> 01:22:27,990
to a working group at Wright-Patterson,
1440
01:22:27,990 --> 01:22:30,890
we were led to believe it was
to benefit the F-35 program.
1441
01:22:32,050 --> 01:22:34,620
We heard nothing for months,
1442
01:22:34,620 --> 01:22:38,180
then this signal brought us
all back to General Reager.
1443
01:22:38,180 --> 01:22:39,710
- Compartmentalize.
1444
01:22:39,710 --> 01:22:41,740
One group does one thing,
another does something else,
1445
01:22:41,740 --> 01:22:43,520
but only a handful, know everything.
1446
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:45,043
Classic military structure.
1447
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,340
- I've been honest with you Cedric.
1448
01:22:48,340 --> 01:22:50,970
Now you need to be honest with me.
1449
01:22:50,970 --> 01:22:53,393
How did you send this signal?
1450
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:56,610
- How is a matter of science.
1451
01:22:56,610 --> 01:22:58,140
But make no mistake,
1452
01:22:58,140 --> 01:23:01,430
there's no coincidence that
your group received a signal.
1453
01:23:01,430 --> 01:23:02,360
We knew you were monitoring
1454
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:04,657
that particular Milstar satellite.
1455
01:23:04,657 --> 01:23:07,470
(birds tweeting)
1456
01:23:07,470 --> 01:23:08,363
- Oh my God.
1457
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:13,450
You worked for General Reager, don't you?
1458
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:17,033
This was all about
intelligence, wasn't it?
1459
01:23:17,930 --> 01:23:20,220
We've been hearing about security sweeps,
1460
01:23:20,220 --> 01:23:24,360
surprise base inspections,
national security.
1461
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:29,153
Oh my God. What have I gotten into?
1462
01:23:30,410 --> 01:23:34,030
- Ellen, I don't work for Reager,
1463
01:23:34,030 --> 01:23:35,710
but yes, this is about intelligence.
1464
01:23:35,710 --> 01:23:36,653
We need your help.
1465
01:23:37,500 --> 01:23:38,333
- My help?
1466
01:23:39,210 --> 01:23:40,723
Wait, we?
1467
01:23:42,201 --> 01:23:45,833
- In your line of work, do
the years, 1947 in 1972,
1468
01:23:45,833 --> 01:23:47,267
have any meaning to you?
1469
01:23:53,180 --> 01:23:57,360
- '47 was operation Blue Nose.
1470
01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:59,960
And while that ridiculous Roswell story
1471
01:23:59,960 --> 01:24:04,360
and '72 was when the Apollo program ended.
1472
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:06,410
- Do you know why it ended?
1473
01:24:06,410 --> 01:24:09,632
- Everyone knows that, to
develop the space shuttle.
1474
01:24:09,632 --> 01:24:11,773
(Cedric laughing)
1475
01:24:11,773 --> 01:24:15,330
(birds tweeting)
1476
01:24:15,330 --> 01:24:16,370
What the...
1477
01:24:21,190 --> 01:24:23,083
There's someone at the end of the field.
1478
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:25,961
- I know.
1479
01:24:25,961 --> 01:24:27,188
(ominous music)
1480
01:24:27,188 --> 01:24:28,130
(birds tweeting)
1481
01:24:28,130 --> 01:24:30,630
My involvement in all this
started before the war.
1482
01:24:31,650 --> 01:24:32,483
- Iraq?
1483
01:24:33,650 --> 01:24:34,483
- World War II.
1484
01:24:38,020 --> 01:24:40,420
There was a justifiable concern
that after two millennia,
1485
01:24:40,420 --> 01:24:43,260
your technology wasn't progressing fast enough.
1486
01:24:43,260 --> 01:24:45,120
If something happened to
ours, for whatever reason,
1487
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:46,830
there was no backstop.
1488
01:24:46,830 --> 01:24:49,630
How did Sagan say it,
"In all this vastness,
1489
01:24:49,630 --> 01:24:51,590
there was no hint that help
will come from elsewhere
1490
01:24:51,590 --> 01:24:53,067
to save us from ourselves."
1491
01:24:54,950 --> 01:24:58,980
So a decision was made to advance
certain fields of science.
1492
01:24:58,980 --> 01:25:01,090
I was sent to the Peenemunde
Army Research Center
1493
01:25:01,090 --> 01:25:02,607
in Germany.
1494
01:25:02,607 --> 01:25:05,350
It was truly the Cape Kennedy of its day.
1495
01:25:05,350 --> 01:25:07,800
Under the guise of a visiting scientist,
1496
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:09,400
I offered assistance here and there,
1497
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:11,983
particularly in areas of
propulsion and guidance.
1498
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:14,370
Well, I got caught up in my work
1499
01:25:14,370 --> 01:25:16,370
and showed them things I shouldn't have.
1500
01:25:17,242 --> 01:25:19,180
When I refused to cooperate further.
1501
01:25:19,180 --> 01:25:21,663
I was arrested and sent
to a concentration camp.
1502
01:25:24,050 --> 01:25:25,250
You can imagine my disgust
1503
01:25:25,250 --> 01:25:28,090
when Reager was talking
about identification,
1504
01:25:28,090 --> 01:25:29,940
not from my people, but the millions.
1505
01:25:31,130 --> 01:25:32,830
The millions that never went home.
1506
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:37,990
Well, after the camp was liberated,
1507
01:25:37,990 --> 01:25:41,683
I found myself alone in the
field, just waiting to go home.
1508
01:25:43,070 --> 01:25:45,960
The German scientists were
repatriated to the United States
1509
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:48,853
and continued their work or
should I say some of my work.
1510
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:51,360
There was no choice, but to monitor
1511
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:53,560
all military installations
for developments.
1512
01:25:55,150 --> 01:25:58,150
A couple of years after the war
a patrol went down in Roswell,
1513
01:25:59,850 --> 01:26:01,270
for more reasons than I can count,
1514
01:26:01,270 --> 01:26:03,840
It was impossible to retrieve
certain remains of the crew
1515
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,800
and the aircraft's propulsion
and stealth technologies.
1516
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:09,900
We had high hopes during the 1960s though.
1517
01:26:10,890 --> 01:26:12,910
Perhaps the seeds of
science planted in war
1518
01:26:12,910 --> 01:26:14,160
would come back in peace.
1519
01:26:15,270 --> 01:26:18,370
When first contact was
finally made in 1969,
1520
01:26:18,370 --> 01:26:21,010
everything seemed to be
progressing the way we wanted.
1521
01:26:21,010 --> 01:26:22,640
Oh, there were concerns
in various governments
1522
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:24,190
to say nothing of the military,
1523
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:27,950
but Synedrion Council
felt they had to proceed,
1524
01:26:27,950 --> 01:26:31,070
that living in the shadows
was no longer an option.
1525
01:26:31,070 --> 01:26:33,120
In 1972, they agreed to meet with your
1526
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,440
United Nations security council
1527
01:26:35,440 --> 01:26:39,090
to pave the way for revelation
that mankind is not alone.
1528
01:26:39,090 --> 01:26:40,440
First contact, if you will.
1529
01:26:41,420 --> 01:26:44,280
The military escort never
brought them to that meeting.
1530
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,230
We've been looking for them ever since.
1531
01:26:47,670 --> 01:26:49,170
You can only imagine my guilt.
1532
01:26:50,030 --> 01:26:52,460
It didn't matter what our
involvement was in your world
1533
01:26:52,460 --> 01:26:53,370
or our technology.
1534
01:26:53,370 --> 01:26:54,680
We couldn't find them.
1535
01:26:55,870 --> 01:26:58,290
It was Griffin's idea for the signal.
1536
01:26:58,290 --> 01:27:00,033
We had to know who would surface.
1537
01:27:00,950 --> 01:27:03,330
Signal was too tempting for Reager.
1538
01:27:03,330 --> 01:27:05,870
He knew there was only one
group that could decrypt it.
1539
01:27:05,870 --> 01:27:06,960
- Group?
1540
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,783
- Our parents, the ones
your military kidnapped.
1541
01:27:11,756 --> 01:27:14,393
- (scoffs) Oh, come on. Seriously?
1542
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:19,230
You don't honestly expect me
to believe any of this, do you?
1543
01:27:20,556 --> 01:27:23,272
- I only expect you to
believe what you can see?
1544
01:27:23,272 --> 01:27:26,022
(dramatic music)
1545
01:27:33,610 --> 01:27:35,947
- Governor, you asked for this?
1546
01:27:35,947 --> 01:27:36,947
- Thank you.
1547
01:27:37,860 --> 01:27:39,410
- Good to see you again, Major.
1548
01:27:40,625 --> 01:27:42,096
- Where there any problems?
1549
01:27:42,096 --> 01:27:44,706
- Aside from the curator? None.
1550
01:27:44,706 --> 01:27:46,570
(laughter)
1551
01:27:46,570 --> 01:27:49,460
- I'm not laughing. What did he call you?
1552
01:27:49,460 --> 01:27:50,540
- Governor.
1553
01:27:50,540 --> 01:27:51,533
- Governor of what?
1554
01:27:52,810 --> 01:27:54,360
- You haven't told her?
1555
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:55,883
- Nearly everything, but.
1556
01:27:56,910 --> 01:28:00,140
- Major, Cedric Yonah, is the
Governor of Dominion Earth
1557
01:28:00,140 --> 01:28:02,477
and Premier of the Synedrion Council.
1558
01:28:02,477 --> 01:28:03,764
(birds tweeting)
1559
01:28:03,764 --> 01:28:05,910
- I thought you said it was
your parents on this council
1560
01:28:05,910 --> 01:28:06,800
or whatever.
1561
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:10,510
- They were. We ascended
after they disappeared.
1562
01:28:10,510 --> 01:28:13,140
James let's keep an open
comm for transparency.
1563
01:28:13,140 --> 01:28:15,042
Was there anything else?
1564
01:28:15,042 --> 01:28:16,490
- During your conference with the council,
1565
01:28:16,490 --> 01:28:17,750
Central monitored Reager's calls
1566
01:28:17,750 --> 01:28:20,410
from Chievres Air Base to Patterson AFB,
1567
01:28:20,410 --> 01:28:23,550
on his order GPS and Sat comm Directorate,
1568
01:28:23,550 --> 01:28:25,210
Echelon and the Deep Space Network
1569
01:28:25,210 --> 01:28:27,360
received new detection programming.
1570
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:30,380
To avoid intercept, Central
has rerouted all comm traffic
1571
01:28:30,380 --> 01:28:31,663
to the secondary grid.
1572
01:28:32,762 --> 01:28:34,263
- That should buy us some time.
1573
01:28:35,812 --> 01:28:39,110
- Reager also inquired about
your whereabouts Major Sampson.
1574
01:28:40,580 --> 01:28:42,830
Now civilian agencies and
military installations
1575
01:28:42,830 --> 01:28:44,460
in the region are on
high alert over a radar
1576
01:28:44,460 --> 01:28:46,360
and communications blackout.
1577
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:47,800
The United States and United Kingdom's
1578
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:50,930
are claiming it's Russian
retaliation over the G7.
1579
01:28:50,930 --> 01:28:53,820
The Belgian authorities claim
it's a terrorist attack.
1580
01:28:53,820 --> 01:28:56,100
NATO has elevated its
alert readiness to Amber.
1581
01:28:56,100 --> 01:28:59,033
And F-16s have been
scrambled from Melsbroek AB.
1582
01:28:59,890 --> 01:29:03,300
Central will hold the
blackout until our departure.
1583
01:29:03,300 --> 01:29:06,450
- My God. How do you know all this?
1584
01:29:06,450 --> 01:29:09,503
- Why? X-ray communications, Major.
1585
01:29:13,220 --> 01:29:14,683
- Keep your eye on Cedric.
1586
01:29:18,030 --> 01:29:22,381
- That's not hard sir.
He's keeping them on me.
1587
01:29:22,381 --> 01:29:25,631
- If an opportunity
presents itself, take it.
1588
01:29:25,631 --> 01:29:28,214
We need to know more about him.
1589
01:29:32,150 --> 01:29:33,280
- Thank you, James.
1590
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:36,663
- Of course. Major, I look
forward to our next meeting.
1591
01:29:42,990 --> 01:29:43,823
Governor.
1592
01:29:52,950 --> 01:29:54,350
- There's a hanger at Wright-Patterson
1593
01:29:54,350 --> 01:29:55,860
that we can't see through.
1594
01:29:55,860 --> 01:29:57,557
That's why we need your help.
1595
01:29:58,523 --> 01:30:00,530
- What about your X-ray communications?
1596
01:30:00,530 --> 01:30:05,410
- Don't mock me. I'm in no mood for it.
1597
01:30:05,410 --> 01:30:07,850
It's sheathed in the
same materials we use.
1598
01:30:07,850 --> 01:30:10,233
The crash of 47, the stealth technology,
1599
01:30:11,218 --> 01:30:12,300
if you know how to manufacture it,
1600
01:30:12,300 --> 01:30:14,983
it's easily adaptable to
structures and satellites.
1601
01:30:16,050 --> 01:30:18,563
Ellen, I can't stress
this next point enough.
1602
01:30:19,590 --> 01:30:21,910
I know you've heard some
fantastic stories today.
1603
01:30:21,910 --> 01:30:24,760
And by the look on your face,
you don't believe any of them.
1604
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:27,590
But if Reager is developing
what I think he is,
1605
01:30:27,590 --> 01:30:30,680
the balance of power could
shift in such a direction
1606
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:33,853
that life on this planet,
as we know it, will be over.
1607
01:30:35,110 --> 01:30:37,500
Think, has it ever, ever occurred to you,
1608
01:30:37,500 --> 01:30:39,970
why the United States has
built a military complex
1609
01:30:39,970 --> 01:30:42,500
that could destroy the
world 10 times over.
1610
01:30:42,500 --> 01:30:45,410
Please don't tell me it's
because of the Soviet Union.
1611
01:30:45,410 --> 01:30:47,000
It's because they know they aren't alone,
1612
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,653
and paranoia is driving
this uncontrollable madness.
1613
01:30:51,370 --> 01:30:53,465
We need to know where our parents are
1614
01:30:53,465 --> 01:30:55,247
and what's in that hanger.
1615
01:30:55,247 --> 01:30:57,363
I confess I'm running out of patience,
1616
01:30:58,220 --> 01:31:01,210
but the alternative to
patience is not an option.
1617
01:31:01,210 --> 01:31:04,690
I've seen war in all its
ugliness, too many times.
1618
01:31:04,690 --> 01:31:07,210
The lines of peace need to be drawn here,
1619
01:31:07,210 --> 01:31:10,952
between us, on this field, in this moment.
1620
01:31:10,952 --> 01:31:13,535
(tense music)
1621
01:31:14,550 --> 01:31:16,160
You sadly deal in absolutes
1622
01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:18,013
because the unknown terrifies you.
1623
01:31:19,370 --> 01:31:22,760
- General, if I sign this,
1624
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:24,803
what's the objective of Operation Troy?
1625
01:31:26,110 --> 01:31:26,960
- Identification.
1626
01:31:30,438 --> 01:31:31,771
(birds tweeting)
1627
01:31:31,771 --> 01:31:34,354
(tense music)
1628
01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:45,820
- So help me, God,
1629
01:31:45,820 --> 01:31:48,773
what you've said is either
all true or all a lie.
1630
01:31:51,350 --> 01:31:56,030
All my years of training
have told me to listen,
1631
01:31:56,030 --> 01:31:58,633
stay calm and to act decisively.
1632
01:32:00,530 --> 01:32:03,513
But the oath I took,
isn't just a set of words.
1633
01:32:05,110 --> 01:32:08,763
General Reager is one thing,
but the president is another.
1634
01:32:10,140 --> 01:32:13,683
I cannot pledge my allegiance
on just your words alone.
1635
01:32:14,676 --> 01:32:16,270
- Then you need to ask yourself,
1636
01:32:16,270 --> 01:32:18,750
once you eliminate the
impossible whatever remains,
1637
01:32:18,750 --> 01:32:21,100
no matter how improbable,
must be the truth.
1638
01:32:22,785 --> 01:32:24,103
- Doveryai, no proveryai.
1639
01:32:25,510 --> 01:32:26,913
- Trust, but verify.
1640
01:32:28,614 --> 01:32:32,680
- This is exactly what they
want. How can you trust her?
1641
01:32:32,680 --> 01:32:33,880
- How can I not try?
1642
01:32:39,185 --> 01:32:42,175
Can you see the forest for the trees?
1643
01:32:42,175 --> 01:32:44,758
(dramtic music)
1644
01:32:51,379 --> 01:32:54,879
(airplane engine humming)
1645
01:32:59,467 --> 01:33:02,217
(dramatic music)
1646
01:33:51,615 --> 01:33:52,698
- Oh, my God.
1647
01:33:55,780 --> 01:34:00,030
You told us everything in
that meeting, everything.
1648
01:34:03,583 --> 01:34:06,957
- You only hear what, not what you should.
1649
01:34:09,222 --> 01:34:11,805
(dramatic music)
1650
01:34:17,169 --> 01:34:18,545
You only believe what you see.
1651
01:34:18,545 --> 01:34:21,295
(dramatic music)
1652
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:34,433
This is for you.
1653
01:34:39,430 --> 01:34:41,523
NASA can verify its authenticity.
1654
01:34:42,420 --> 01:34:44,823
If you can help us,
Griffin is your contact.
1655
01:34:46,770 --> 01:34:47,603
- Thank you.
1656
01:34:51,258 --> 01:34:53,841
(dramatic music)
1657
01:34:59,110 --> 01:35:00,787
- How old are you?
1658
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:09,210
- Old enough to never forget.
1659
01:35:11,100 --> 01:35:12,700
- Why are you here?
1660
01:35:12,700 --> 01:35:13,533
- Answers.
1661
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:17,523
You honestly don't believe we're
the only ones here, do you?
1662
01:35:18,580 --> 01:35:20,153
- Where are you from?
1663
01:35:23,399 --> 01:35:24,232
- Earth.
1664
01:35:28,109 --> 01:35:30,859
(dramatic music)
1665
01:37:30,894 --> 01:37:33,561
(door shutting)
1666
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:39,130
- General Reager, please.
1667
01:37:44,282 --> 01:37:45,690
(Reager bangs the phone)
1668
01:37:45,690 --> 01:37:46,730
- What is it?
1669
01:37:46,730 --> 01:37:48,843
- Sampson signal has reappeared.
1670
01:37:50,130 --> 01:37:50,963
- Where?
1671
01:37:52,145 --> 01:37:56,183
- A field. 10 kilometers from the city.
1672
01:38:00,347 --> 01:38:03,097
(dramatic music)
1673
01:39:01,330 --> 01:39:03,913
(soft music)
1674
01:41:26,994 --> 01:41:29,744
(dramatic music)
1675
01:41:45,832 --> 01:41:48,479
(door opening)
1676
01:41:48,479 --> 01:41:49,430
- Do you have any idea what he wants?
1677
01:41:49,430 --> 01:41:52,850
- No. He just wanted, more like
demanded a meeting.
1678
01:41:52,850 --> 01:41:55,350
- And he flew from Colorado to Brussels?
1679
01:41:55,350 --> 01:41:56,700
- Well, it must be important.
1680
01:41:57,900 --> 01:41:58,733
- Bill.
1681
01:41:58,733 --> 01:41:59,617
- Yes, Madam president.
1682
01:41:59,617 --> 01:42:01,117
- I need a moment.
1683
01:42:05,460 --> 01:42:08,090
- If Reager learns what brought
a Holocaust to your world
1684
01:42:08,090 --> 01:42:09,270
you're going to have to explain to this one,
1685
01:42:09,270 --> 01:42:10,160
why your people who've been here
1686
01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:12,360
for the last 2000 plus years.
1687
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:14,420
- That's why it's imperative
we find our parents.
1688
01:42:14,420 --> 01:42:15,810
If they talked under pressure or-
1689
01:42:15,810 --> 01:42:18,810
- Elisabeth, I understand,
but understand me,
1690
01:42:18,810 --> 01:42:21,670
I'm only interested in
protecting this planet
1691
01:42:21,670 --> 01:42:24,193
or as you people call it, the First World.
1692
01:42:26,145 --> 01:42:29,228
(footsteps thumping)
1693
01:42:45,766 --> 01:42:48,433
(door shutting)
