extracted by LeapinLar, edited by rogard
2
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,600
Thats Orion right there,
3
00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:58,300
the triangle.
4
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,300
And that is Cassiopia.
5
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,100
- Cassiopia?
- Yeah.
6
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,300
Who was she?
7
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:08,300
No idea.
8
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,600
Thats the big dipper,
9
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,600
and here we have another celestial body.
10
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:20,600
What do you think you're doing?
11
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,400
I'm about to go
12
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:24,200
where no man
13
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,500
has gone before.
14
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,200
It's a satellite.
15
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:40,000
This is so sick, look at that thing.
16
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:42,000
I don't know Jeff, maybe...
17
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,400
maybe we should leave it alone.
It could be radioactive and stuff.
18
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,400
- Should we tell Marti?
- Are you kidding me? No.
19
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,900
The old fart would just grab it and take all the glory.
20
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:21,200
It's gone.
21
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,000
Great,
22
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,700
Mandrake's going to sit a brick.
23
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:35,100
Bright light, big city,
24
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:36,500
excitement.
25
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:38,400
Peadmont, Utah,
26
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,800
the armpit of nowhere.
27
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,600
Awful quiet down there.
28
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,200
What are those?
29
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:50,600
Buzzards.
30
00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:58,600
This is Caper One.
31
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,900
Project Scoop appears to have been moved.
I'm following the signal.
32
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,300
Roger that, Caper One.
33
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:19,200
No signs yet of any life,
34
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,100
except for this joker staring at us in his pick-up.
35
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:28,300
Rounding the corner.
36
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,600
Hold on.
37
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,900
Looks like a war zone.
38
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,400
Tell me I'm not seeing this.
39
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:41,700
This town is full of bodies.
40
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:53,200
over here, over here, help me!
Help me man, you've got to help me!
41
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,500
Oh God, no. No, no, no no!
42
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:07,600
No!
43
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,400
No, no, no, no, nooo!
44
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,200
- Where was this again?
- Piedmont, Utah. It's an old mining town.
45
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,300
There's a state park nearby.
It's remote, very isolated.
46
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:24,100
We seem to have caught a break there.
47
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:26,800
You'll forgive me if I don't
share your sense of gratitude.
48
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,100
Was it the Korean's?
49
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,500
I think thats unlikely.
50
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,700
Who then?
51
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,700
We don't know.
52
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:33,400
We're quarantining the area.
53
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:35,100
This road is closed, ma'am.
54
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,000
You need to detour back around using state road 46.
55
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,900
I'll also have a predator on an
over-flight in the next couple of hours;
I'll know more then.
56
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:45,800
I'll notify the department of homeland security.
57
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,800
Let me handle that.
58
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,000
And the White House?
59
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:54,800
Chuck.
60
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,900
I'll take care of both.
61
00:04:56,900 --> 00:04:59,800
I'm also required to initiate the Wildfire protocol.
62
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,300
Does Dr. Stone still have the team?
63
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,400
Untill they pry his cold dead fingers off the door.
64
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:09,300
I don't suppose there's any way round him?
65
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:15,000
I can't watch him 24 hours a day.
66
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:16,600
Do you even know where Lance is?
67
00:05:16,700 --> 00:05:20,700
Are you questioning my parenting?
68
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,600
How long have you
been off your meds? Oh!
69
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:25,200
The great Dr. Stone
lays down the law.
70
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:27,100
Nations tremble
and nubile graduate students
71
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,800
spread their legs.
Look, you're not safe, all right?
72
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:32,600
You're not safe to yourself
or to our son.
73
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:34,100
Are you threatening me?
74
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,900
Don't you try to bully me or I
will drag you back into court.
75
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:47,500
Yes.
Dr. Jeremy Stone.
76
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,200
I'm Dr. Stone.
77
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:49,900
There's been a Wildfire alert.
78
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,400
My orders are to gather you
79
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:54,900
and the rest of your team right away.
80
00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:03,600
Lisa.
81
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:05,700
Please get yourself
checked in.
82
00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:11,300
Dad?
83
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:17,600
Late night? It's mom's
house. Mom's rules.
84
00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:19,000
Not anymore.
85
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:21,600
Look, I came by to tell you
that I made arrangements.
86
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:23,500
You're gonna spend
the rest of the month in L.A.
87
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,200
with my sister. She's gonna look
after you.
88
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:26,200
I can look after myself.
89
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:27,600
Oh, clearly. Look, Lance.
90
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:30,600
We're not gonna argue
about this, all right?
91
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:32,400
It's a done deal. You should...
You should go pack.
92
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:33,500
Mom's the one who needs help.
93
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,700
You mother has
all the help she needs
94
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,100
if she'll just take it.
95
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,300
Yeah, that just lets you
off the hook, doesn't it?
96
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,100
Sir?
97
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,700
You can't wait
to get out of here?
98
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,400
- I have to leave.
- Yeah.
99
00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:48,100
I'm sure you have to go wherever
it is that you're going.
100
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,300
- If it were anything
else, you know that.
101
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,300
Yeah, I know.
102
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,800
It-It's work.
It's important.
103
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,600
Nasa had a satellite fail
last night over the Utah desert,
104
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,100
and, uh, the army sent in
a retrieval team.
105
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,300
I just wanted to give you
a heads up
106
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,200
before all
the phone calls start
107
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:13,400
about the black helicopters
and little green men.
108
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,800
I guess they're just
playing it safe, Ed.
109
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:24,200
All right.
110
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,800
Approaching Piedmont.
111
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:32,800
Preparing to make
my initial surveillance pass.
112
00:07:32,900 --> 00:07:34,300
Go ahead.
113
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,900
Commencing thermal imaging
and night vision recording.
114
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:44,100
What the hell is that?
115
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,600
Are those bodies?
116
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:55,600
Holy Christ in heaven.
117
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:58,900
I'm moving to northcom.
118
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,500
Confine everyone to base
and lock it down.
119
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,700
I want you to stay
here in D.C.
120
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,300
In case Beeter needs managing.
121
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,000
Yes, general.
122
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:09,600
- How's the campaign going?
- Fundraising has slowed,
123
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:13,900
and we're down 15 in the polls
as of last night.
124
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,100
Ha, looking for their piece of the
action, you mean?
125
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,000
Exactly, and of course,
126
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:25,900
the environmentalists are howling,
127
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
and the opposition
is scoring points. Ready?
128
00:08:36,500 --> 00:08:38,300
Flattery will get you
everywhere, won't it?
129
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,200
Thank you, Pat.
130
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,600
Mr. President, we have
a situation, I'm afraid.
131
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:47,300
An infectious disease outbreak
of unknown origin
132
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,800
in southern Utah.
133
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:50,000
- How serious?
- Well, the area is remote,
134
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:53,300
and we think we have it under control,
135
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,000
but I thought you might
like to know about...
136
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:55,600
it right away.
137
00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:56,600
And I'll wanna be there.
138
00:08:56,700 --> 00:08:58,100
Respectfully, sir,
I think it would be better
139
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,900
- if you stayed here in Washington.
- Daddy!
140
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,900
Whoa! Hello!
What are you doing here?
141
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,100
What are you doing here? Did
you escape?
142
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,200
Hello. Hello, Chuck.
143
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:09,700
Joanne. I'm sorry
to interrupt, honey.
144
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,300
I was packing and this
little monster got...
145
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:11,700
away from me.
146
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,800
You got away from your mama.
147
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:14,700
Campaign tour? Apparently
the American people
148
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,700
would rather see my wife
than myself,
149
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,100
although, I can't say
as I blame them too much.
150
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,000
And as for you, young lady,
151
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:22,900
you've got to go
back where you came from
152
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,200
'cause daddy is working right
now, okay? Bye-Bye.
153
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:25,800
Bye, daddy.
154
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:29,000
Bye.
155
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:36,100
So this infection is of
unknown origin, you say?
156
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,500
We're still gathering
all the facts, sir.
157
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,500
This isn't going to be
another Houston, is it?
158
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,400
I think it's very unlikely.
159
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:48,000
Anything you need, Chuck,
you let me know.
160
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:08,300
- Yes?
- Dr. Tsi Chou?
161
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:14,200
- What is it?
- There's been a Wildfire alert.
162
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:24,600
You okay, sir?
163
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:27,000
Yeah. Light sensitivity.
164
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:28,800
Uh, migraines.
165
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:35,500
Adrian has a dentist
appointment on monday.
166
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,300
Don't let him tell you
he's too sick to go.
167
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,200
How long you think?
168
00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:48,800
If I call you and ask
you about your mother,
169
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:52,500
Grab the kids, get on
a plane and go west.
170
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,400
Get as much distance between you
171
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:56,700
and the continental
United States as you can.
172
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,500
I love you.
173
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,500
I love you, too.
174
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,500
Sir?
175
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,900
Beeter has informed homeland
security and the president.
176
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,800
The Wildfire team
should be assembled
177
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:13,800
at Peterson Air Force Base
shortly after your arrival.
178
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:17,100
Who's the designated "odd man"
on the Wildfire team?
179
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,800
Army Major William Keene.
180
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:21,000
Ah, the hero of the Houston event.
181
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:22,000
Excellent researcher and a fine officer.
182
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:24,900
He had a big dust-up
with Stone last year
183
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,500
Over who first isolated the
CD-1 virus. Have they made up?
184
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,400
They agreed to share credit,
185
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:31,600
but there's no love lost
between them.
186
00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:34,900
Maybe that's something
we can build on. Sir.
187
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:58,000
Major Keene?
188
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:06,300
What's going on?
189
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:10,300
Please, make yourself
comfortable, doctor.
190
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,700
We'll be taking off shortly.
191
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:20,200
Hello, Angela.
192
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:22,100
Jeremy. I, uh, asked
for something bigger,
193
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,900
but this is the best they could
do on such short notice.
194
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,400
I was in surgery.
195
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:28,400
If it wasn't important,
we wouldn't have come calling.
196
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:30,700
How bad is it?
197
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,400
Preliminary reports suggest
a fatality rate of nearly 100%.
198
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:38,100
You always bring me such good tidings.
199
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,200
Please take your seats
and fasten your seatbelts.
200
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:42,900
Flight attendants,
please cross-check the doors.
201
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,800
I heard about you and Lisa.
202
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:46,300
How's Lance feeling?
203
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,600
He's a teenager,
so it's always hard to tell.
204
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:50,200
Beneath the raging hormones,
205
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:52,800
I'd--I'd have to say he's pretty angry.
206
00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:54,100
He's tolerating the separation.
207
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,100
He's going to stay
with my sister in Los Angeles
208
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,600
- for the rest of july.
- I almost called you when I heard,
209
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:01,400
but I figured that your life
210
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:04,500
was probably complicated enough.
211
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,200
Yeah.
Yes.
212
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,500
Mr. Nash, you have a phone call.
213
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,100
Well, I guess I'd better take that then.
214
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:30,000
- No names!
- God, you're paranoid.
215
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,400
Like the N.S.A. isn't really
tracing all our calls.
216
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:35,300
Wheezer, knock off the double
espressos and go back to bed.
217
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,500
At the king.
One hour.
218
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,000
Yeah, may have
a little trouble with that.
219
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:43,200
Mancheck.
220
00:13:43,300 --> 00:13:45,600
Mancheck?
221
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:48,900
Mr. Nash? Mr. Nash, I think
this is a terrible mistake.
222
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,800
I'll check in again when I'm done.
223
00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:52,800
- It doesn't work like that.
- What doesn't-
224
00:13:52,900 --> 00:13:54,300
My addiction or my insurance?
225
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,400
Well, both, really.
226
00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:57,900
Simply put, these thermal vents
on the ocean floor
227
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
precipitate a fortune
in almost pure mineral deposits,
228
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:06,600
such as manganese, critical
in the production of steel,
229
00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:08,500
and gold in higher concentrations
230
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,800
- than most onshore mines.
- Wheezer, this had better be good.
231
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:13,300
Until now, no one could
extract these deposits
232
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,400
because of the crushing depths
at which they are found,
233
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:17,200
but this new technology makes
it possible. Do you mind?
234
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:20,300
Come on. Don't be a tease.
What's up?
235
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,400
Not up. Down.
"Project Scoop."
236
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:25,800
What's that?
A Baskin-Robbins' special?
237
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:26,200
Funny.
238
00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:28,900
Check this out.
239
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,600
It's like a war zone.
240
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:38,900
This town is full of bodies.
241
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,400
Over here! Over here!
Help me, man! Help me!
242
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:45,500
You gotta help me.
243
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,100
Oh! No! No! No!
244
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,000
What the hell was that?
245
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:53,000
Early this morning,
there was an exchange
246
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:54,500
between Nasa
and the pentagon
247
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,500
about a satellite
code-named Project Scoop
248
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,900
that crashed in southern Utah.
249
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,700
About an hour later, I picked that up-
250
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,000
the last transmission
of a retrieval team
251
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:04,400
that went into a nearby town, Piedmont,
252
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:07,300
- after the satellite--
- An army retrieval team.
253
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,200
Hacking the feds is a felony, Wheezer.
254
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:11,600
Homeland security
will be all over your ass.
255
00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:13,400
My bike needs new tires.
256
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,300
Mancheck?
257
00:15:22,900 --> 00:15:26,500
No! Caper One, do you copy?
Do you copy, Caper One?
258
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,000
Once again, Caper One,
do you copy? Come in.
259
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:30,500
Get general Mancheck.
260
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,700
Get Mancheck now.
261
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,300
Jack Nash,
my favorite muckraker.
262
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,000
Whose career
are you ruining today?
263
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:41,600
Oh, you know me.
264
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:43,800
My hit list of the venal
and the morally corrupt
265
00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:45,500
just keeps on growing.
I can't keep pace.
266
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,000
Hey, is Jeremy there?
267
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:49,400
Well, for such a superb
investigative journalist,
268
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,700
You are sadly ignorant.
269
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:51,700
The good doctor and I split.
270
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,100
He has a love nest somewhere,
271
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,400
probably on campus, close
to the sororities he prefers.
272
00:15:57,500 --> 00:15:59,200
I'm-I'm sorry to hear
that, Lisa, truly.
273
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:02,100
But do you have a number for
him? This is very important.
274
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,800
It wouldn't do you any good.
275
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:05,800
Saint Jeremy's off
on assignment for the army.
276
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:08,600
Very hush-hush. They picked
him up early this morning.
277
00:16:08,700 --> 00:16:10,100
Was this in regards
to a Project Scoop?
278
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,200
Don't know. Don't care.
279
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:15,200
Good afternoon, everyone.
280
00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:17,200
I'm general George Mancheck,
281
00:16:17,300 --> 00:16:18,600
head of the U.S. Army
bio-defense department.
282
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,100
Uh, you are now being
distributed e-papers.
283
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,000
They contain continuously
updated information
284
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:24,000
about Wildfire,
and what we currently know
285
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:27,700
about the event,
which is very little.
286
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,300
Since the failed biological
attack in Houston last year
287
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:34,400
in which major Keene here
played an important part,
288
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:37,200
our vulnerability to terrorist
action, especially bioterrorism,
289
00:16:37,300 --> 00:16:39,200
has been a subject
of intense discussion.
290
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:41,300
You, the Wildfire response team
and laboratory,
291
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,600
are the result of that discussion.
292
00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:45,600
You volunteered
in the spirit of patriotism
293
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:48,700
for an assignment
that was vague at the time.
294
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,200
Undoubtedly, you're wondering
295
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:52,300
what the hell you've
got yourselves into.
296
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,200
Dr. Stone. Right. Well, obviously
some of you have worked together.
297
00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:57,500
Certainly everyone here
has read each others' work-
298
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,400
at least heard of one another.
299
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:01,000
I'm Dr. Jeremy Stone,
300
00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:03,300
head of the Bloomsburg facility
at Johns Hopkins
301
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:04,600
and the chief consultant for, and...
302
00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:06,100
designer of, the Wildfire
lab and project.
303
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,900
Where is the laboratory?
304
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,900
For security reasons,
we cannot disclose its location.
305
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,300
We're not allowed to know
where we'll be working?
306
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,200
No, but I can assure you that, uh,
307
00:17:15,300 --> 00:17:18,100
we'll be in full and constant
contact with the outside.
308
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,800
Dr. Noyce?
309
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:21,700
Uh, Dr. Angela Noyce,
surgeon, ex-biologist
310
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,000
and I specialize in tropical
and exotic diseases.
311
00:17:25,100 --> 00:17:26,300
Dr. Charlene Barton,
pathologist,
312
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,800
Formerly with the C.D.C. ,
313
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:29,900
now with the San Francisco
health department.
314
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,300
Major Bill Keene, M.D. ,
315
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,600
Virologist from the Army
medial research institute
316
00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:35,600
of infectious diseases,
Fort Detrick, Maryland.
317
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,800
Uh, Dr. Tsi Chou,
microbiologist.
318
00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:43,300
So modest.
319
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,200
About ten years ago, Dr. Chou
was one of the premier designers
320
00:17:46,300 --> 00:17:49,500
of biological weapons
for the Chinese government.
321
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,900
But then I saw the light of Jesus,
322
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,200
and now I serve as a consultant
on bioterrorism
323
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:56,400
for a wide range
of U.S. corporations.
324
00:17:56,500 --> 00:17:58,700
Out of the ashes, into the fire.
325
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:03,600
Last night-
uh, please.
326
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:06,800
Last night, a Nasa satellite lost orbit
327
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:09,700
and came down in a remote part
of southern Utah.
328
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:13,700
When a retrieval team arrived,
329
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,100
the satellite had been moved,
330
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,800
we believe by civilians, into
the nearby town of Piedmont.
331
00:18:19,900 --> 00:18:22,200
No signs yet of any life.
332
00:18:22,300 --> 00:18:24,400
Except for this joker
staring at us from his pickup.
333
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,700
We're rounding the corner--
334
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,700
Whoa, hold on.
335
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,900
This town is full of bodies.
336
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,200
- It's like a war zone.
- Over here! Over here!
337
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:39,500
Help me! Help me, man.
You gotta help me!
338
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,000
Aah! Aah!
339
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,400
Help! No! No!
340
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:56,100
The team's chemical sensors
detected nothing unusual,
341
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,900
so we suspect a biological agent
342
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,400
now code-named "Andromeda."
343
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:03,500
Whatever Andromeda is, it killed
those two soldiers so quickly,
344
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,500
they didn't even have time
to jump out of their humvee.
345
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,300
Two hours later, this infrared recording
346
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,400
was made by a pilotless drone
347
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:14,300
flying east to west
at an altitude of 500 feet.
348
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,900
The, um, bright spots indicating
thermal activity are corpses.
349
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,900
And, uh, this is another pass
immediately afterwards-
350
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:24,000
same parameters.
351
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:30,900
What brought that satellite
out of orbit in the first place?
352
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Uh, possibly contact with a meteor
353
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:34,700
or unknown space debris.
354
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,900
Uh, there was also one of two new
North Korean satellites in the area.
355
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,700
What they were doing there,
of course, we have no idea.
356
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,300
Well, being sinister
and inscrutable, no doubt.
357
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,300
If their purpose is benign,
why keep it a secret?
358
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,100
One could say the same thing
about this operation, general.
359
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,200
What exactly was Nasa
doing with that satellite?
360
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:52,200
And--and why was an Army
retrieval vehicle sent in
361
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:53,900
after it had failed?
362
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,500
Nasa doesn't have a pot
to piss in these days.
363
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,600
All flights are multipurpose.
364
00:19:57,700 --> 00:20:00,200
We're going to need
to trust each other, doctor.
365
00:20:00,300 --> 00:20:01,300
As long as we all act in good faith,
366
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,500
I don't have a problem there.
General?
367
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,300
Can we play both
recordings simultaneously?
368
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,500
That body by the recovery vehicle
369
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,300
has moved between passes.
370
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:24,400
- Again. Overlay.
- Yes, sir.
371
00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:31,300
Freeze it. Overlay.
372
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,000
Switch back.
373
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:36,800
Son of a bitch.
374
00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:41,300
Someone's alive down there.
375
00:20:44,900 --> 00:20:46,800
Listen, Bill.
376
00:20:46,900 --> 00:20:47,900
Whatever differences
we've had in the past,
377
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,600
I hope we can put 'em
aside for the duration.
378
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:53,400
I wouldn't miss this
for the world, Jeremy.
379
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:54,800
Somebody has to keep
an eye on you.
380
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:59,600
What's up with you and Mancheck?
381
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:01,300
Mancheck?
382
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,000
Well, during operation Desert Storm,
383
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:05,600
I wanted to examine certain
Iraqi munitions bunkers
384
00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:08,800
for possible biological agents,
but he blew them up first.
385
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:09,900
Why the big hurry?
386
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,800
Maybe there was something
he didn't want me to find.
387
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:14,700
Oh, yeah, like the Loch Ness monster,
388
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,000
or maybe there was proof of Bigfoot.
389
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:17,500
Look, a lot of people
wondered how Saddam
390
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,800
acquired his bioweapons
capability in the first place.
391
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:22,900
Now some people have suggested
that certain governments,
392
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,500
who were friendly at the time
and eager for data
393
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,900
on the battlefield use of
weaponized biological agents,
394
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,600
might have sold Saddam what he wanted
395
00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:30,500
- when he was fighting Iran.
396
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,000
That's just a bunch of
paranoid left-wing B.S.
397
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:34,900
- It was never proven, Jeremy.
- Just because you're paranoid, Bill,
398
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,200
doesn't mean they ain't out to get you.
399
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,300
Mancheck.
400
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,400
A heads-up from our friend
at the N.S.A.
401
00:21:57,500 --> 00:21:59,800
who's been running security
checks on the Wildfire team.
402
00:21:59,900 --> 00:22:02,300
An hour ago they picked
up a conversation
403
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,200
between Lisa Stone and Jack Nash.
404
00:22:04,300 --> 00:22:07,200
How the hell did Jack
Nash stumble on this?
405
00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:09,800
He asked about Project Scoop.
406
00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:11,600
Jeez. Who's his source?
407
00:22:11,700 --> 00:22:14,700
We're working on it.
408
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,300
Nash and Stone were
an unbelievable pain in the ass
409
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,300
over Kuwait.
410
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,800
How much does he know
about Project Scoop?
411
00:22:20,900 --> 00:22:23,200
Well, as far as we
can tell, nothing yet.
412
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,200
Don't do anything about Nash right now,
413
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,600
except monitor him closely
414
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:33,100
and identify his source.
415
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,000
What's the escort for? Paparazzi?
416
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:43,800
A fail-safe plan to prevent
a break in quarantine.
417
00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:45,700
The chopper will drop us off
418
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,100
and hover at 500 feet
until we recall it.
419
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,500
It will not land unless
they get our signal.
420
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,300
Now if we don't come back,
they're to immediately report
421
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,500
back to base for decontamination.
422
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,800
And if the pilot fails to respond?
423
00:22:57,900 --> 00:23:00,900
Well, there is a fail-safe
for the fail-safe.
424
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,600
It's not too late to reconsider.
425
00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:04,900
Oh, this is just starting to get good.
426
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,800
Approaching target, sir.
427
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,000
We have smoke rising from the town, sir.
428
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,300
Whatever Andromeda is,
429
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,700
it still hasn't killed the birds.
430
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:31,800
Best not to take any chances.
431
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:35,100
Captain, drop the chlorazine.
432
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,800
Roger that.
433
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,000
Hmm, the Audubon society's
not gonna like that.
434
00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:11,900
Lieutenant, when ready, lower the team
435
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,600
into the center of town
436
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:14,900
and take up your preassigned position.
437
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,400
Roger that.
438
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:18,900
What are the ultimate
environmental consequences
439
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,600
of mining these deep-sea thermal vents?
440
00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:21,900
We don't know,
441
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,100
but one thing we know for
sure is that Enburtel,
442
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,500
one of president Scott's largest
corporate campaign contributors,
443
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,600
will make a fortune from it.
444
00:24:29,700 --> 00:24:31,200
And once again, the president and his
corporate masters...
445
00:24:31,300 --> 00:24:31,600
Hey, gorgeous.
446
00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:32,600
...are ignoring science,
defying international treaties
447
00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:35,900
- and acting unilaterally.
- Charlie H. , long time, no see.
448
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,200
- Sorry, Charlie, he just barged in.
- That's all right. Just call security.
449
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:41,500
Whoa, Charles,
I'm not feeling the love here.
450
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,700
You're in rehab.
That was our deal.
451
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,500
30 days, then you might
get your job back.
452
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:46,500
I'm clean. I'm sober.
453
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,400
Look at me, I'm even tan,
and I am-
454
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:51,200
- I've got a lead on something-
- 30 days rehab.
455
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:52,200
- That was the deal.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
456
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:52,700
Come on, Charlie.
457
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,900
You're too good a producer
to let your personal feelings
458
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,700
- get in the way of a great story.
- How great?
459
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,000
Last night, Nasa satellite
crashes in southern Utah.
460
00:25:01,100 --> 00:25:02,900
This is news?
We call that gravity.
461
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,300
Nasa claims it was a weather
satellite. I know that's a lie.
462
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,400
And why was an Army retrieval team
463
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:09,100
sent to pick up said Nasa bird,
464
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,600
and why was that team from
the department of bio-defense?
465
00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:15,000
If this is another one
of your paranoid fantasies,
466
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:18,300
- I swear to--
- The whole unit died horribly.
467
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,800
Wait a minute.
Wait. Wait.
468
00:25:19,900 --> 00:25:21,000
Did...
469
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:23,400
you know this for a fact?
470
00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:25,200
- I saw the visuals myself.
- You got tape?
471
00:25:25,300 --> 00:25:26,600
I can get tape.
472
00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:28,700
Right. Meanwhile, a
couple of hours later,
473
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,300
one of our leading epidemiologists
474
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,200
is picked up by the Army
and whisked away.
475
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,000
And?
476
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:37,600
And the Army general
in charge is Mancheck.
477
00:25:37,700 --> 00:25:39,700
- Mancheck. See?
- I knew it. I knew it.
478
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,300
You-You just won't let
that go, will you?
479
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,300
I mean, you're like frickin' Ahab
480
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,600
- and the white whale with that guy.
481
00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:47,100
I swear to god, this
just fell in my lap.
482
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,400
All I need is a week
to run this down and a crew.
483
00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:52,000
A week and a crew -
that's all I'm asking for.
484
00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:56,000
Three days, then you get
your ass back in Betty Ford,
485
00:25:56,100 --> 00:25:57,900
or wherever you were.
486
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,100
- This man loves me.
- Don't kid yourself.
487
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,900
Loves me!
488
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:31,400
External symptoms -
489
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:34,800
pronounced swelling of all
surface veins and capillaries,
490
00:26:34,900 --> 00:26:38,300
jaundice-like yellowing of his eyes.
491
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,500
A few of them are
clutching their chests.
492
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,100
This could be coronary.
493
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,000
Not coronary.
Look at his face.
494
00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:45,400
Asphyxiation, maybe.
495
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:47,500
No, if a person can't breathe,
496
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,400
they try to loosen the clothing
around their neck and chest.
497
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:52,600
Look at that guy over there.
498
00:26:52,700 --> 00:26:55,100
He has his shirt buttoned
all the way to the top.
499
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,100
This isn't asphyxiation or heart attack.
500
00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:01,700
Well, the survivor we saw
501
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,400
was over near the retrieval vehicle.
502
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:24,800
Dr. Noyce.
503
00:27:24,900 --> 00:27:27,600
Take a look.
504
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:31,600
Look at the way he fell
505
00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:33,400
and broke his nose
on the steering wheel.
506
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,700
There's no blood.
507
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,600
A wound like that
should bleed profusely.
508
00:27:39,700 --> 00:27:41,400
Not one of the corpses we've seen,
509
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:43,300
including the bird food
back there, were bleeders.
510
00:27:53,900 --> 00:27:56,500
- What is it?
- I thought I heard something.
511
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,600
Don't get sketchy on us, doc.
512
00:27:58,700 --> 00:28:02,100
We have a survivor
on tape, remember?
513
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,700
Major, there's a G.P.S. tracking
device in the shotgun seat.
514
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,700
It should still be locked
in on the satellite.
515
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,900
Sorry, boy, I gotta get in there.
516
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,200
Bill, have a little respect.
517
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:15,300
How about we do our job
and get out of here?
518
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,600
Yeah, it's working.
519
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,000
Looks like we're close.
520
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:33,000
Pull over here.
521
00:29:27,700 --> 00:29:29,700
There it is.
522
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,800
Unbelievable.
They opened it.
523
00:29:43,300 --> 00:29:45,900
Angela, can you check his lividity?
524
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Okay.
525
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:51,500
Give me a hand, Bill.
526
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,800
One, two, three.
527
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,200
Easy, easy.
528
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,000
Dead for hours-
529
00:30:03,100 --> 00:30:05,700
Distended arteries, no bruising.
530
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,400
Look at an artery, would you?
Check his radial.
531
00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:30,300
Clotted solid.
532
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,700
What does that?
533
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:58,600
Is there a problem, officer?
534
00:30:58,700 --> 00:31:01,700
License and registration, please.
535
00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:08,200
Nice bike.
536
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:12,900
It's a 1951 FL Panhead.
I did the restoration myself.
537
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,500
- Beautiful.
- Tank shift, foot clutch-
538
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,100
You don't see those anymore.
539
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,100
You are Jonathan Scott?
540
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,000
Yes, sir. I-I just
gave it new tires.
541
00:31:57,300 --> 00:31:59,200
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
542
00:31:59,300 --> 00:32:00,300
- Is your husband watching?
- Yes.
543
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,100
- And the family?
- I hope so.
544
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,800
Would you like to say hello
to them out there?
545
00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:07,100
Um...
546
00:32:44,900 --> 00:32:46,400
I've seen enough.
547
00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:48,700
We should nuke this place
and be done with it.
548
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,200
You're not serious. Under the
Wildfire protocols, directive 7-12,
549
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:53,600
a limited nuclear strike
is a contingency.
550
00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:57,300
- I agree with Bill.
- Ditto. Why mess around?
551
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,200
Because it's premature until
we know what we're dealing with.
552
00:33:00,300 --> 00:33:02,000
You're all forgetting that we have a
survivor on tape.
553
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:02,800
Yeah, nine hours ago.
554
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:04,700
Maybe they're dead now
555
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,700
having drowned themselves
or burned themselves
556
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,600
or cut their own freakin' heads off.
557
00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:38,000
Hi. You're okay. Shh.
558
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:40,600
Shh. It's okay.
Hi.
559
00:33:40,700 --> 00:33:45,100
She must be hungry.
560
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,800
There's some baby formula here.
561
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:48,800
No, no. Don't-don't-
Don't feed her.
562
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:51,600
Don't-don't do anything
until we get her out of here.
563
00:33:51,700 --> 00:33:52,600
Maybe feeding's part
of the disease process,
564
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:55,300
or there was something
protective in her diet.
565
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,200
We can't take the chance.
566
00:33:57,300 --> 00:33:59,600
We have to get her
into a lab right away.
567
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:02,700
It's too bad she can't tell us
what happened.
568
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:03,700
Maybe she can.
569
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:13,800
You leave that baby here!
570
00:34:13,900 --> 00:34:17,700
You got-got no right to-
571
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,400
Ow!
572
00:34:22,300 --> 00:34:25,000
You all right?
573
00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:28,500
Don't-don't touch me.
Just worried about your suit.
574
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,200
Let's l-stat him and get out of here.
575
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,400
We're coming into the lab
with two survivors-
576
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:04,800
an adult male and an infant female.
577
00:35:04,900 --> 00:35:08,100
I will recommend to the president
578
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,300
that he order a limited nuclear
strike.
579
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:09,900
Negative. Negative.
580
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,800
We need to figure out
581
00:35:11,900 --> 00:35:14,000
what the hell we're dealing
with first.
582
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:14,700
I disagree.
583
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,600
What we're dealing with
induces death,
584
00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:17,700
suicide or homicidal behavior
within minutes.
585
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,100
You have as much time
as the president gives you,
586
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,100
and that's it.
587
00:35:44,900 --> 00:35:46,600
What about our survivors?
588
00:35:46,700 --> 00:35:47,600
They'll be taken
along with the satellite
589
00:35:47,700 --> 00:35:50,300
into the lab
through a separate entrance.
590
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,900
Dr. Chou and Dr. Barton
will be waiting for us.
591
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,700
We have no choice now, Chuck.
This thing is scary.
592
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,800
Our safest option
is the nuke the site,
593
00:35:57,900 --> 00:36:00,000
and only the president
can authorize a nuclear.
594
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:02,600
You promised us there would be
no problems with Project Scoop.
595
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:04,700
You know as well I as I do
there are no guarantees
596
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,000
on something like this, so
calm down and let me handle it.
597
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,100
Pretty impressive
security measures here.
598
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:15,900
Better than they look.
599
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Killer pine trees?
600
00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:21,100
We've been under
continuous observation
601
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,400
by satellite and ground sensors
602
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:24,700
since the moment
the helicopter dropped us off.
603
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,700
There's at least one armed
predator overhead at all times.
604
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,700
If we were a menace,
we'd be dead by now.
605
00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:47,500
Dr. Stone, long time, no see.
606
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,300
Same to you, George.
How's your daughter?
607
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:50,900
13 going on 35.
Hello, Dr. Stone.
608
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,900
Access approved.
609
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:14,900
Grouped around a central utility core,
610
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,600
at the bottom of which
is our power source.
611
00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:19,900
A small water-cooled nuclear reactor.
612
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,500
And the pool hours are...
613
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,500
hey, at 5,000 to 8,000 rem,
even a small exposure
614
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,900
would result in disorientation
or coma within minutes,
615
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,200
but, hey, knock yourself out.
616
00:37:29,300 --> 00:37:32,600
Now the top two levels
617
00:37:32,700 --> 00:37:34,600
are for service and maintenance crew.
618
00:37:34,700 --> 00:37:35,800
They live on-site
in 3-month rotational cycles
619
00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:38,700
under the highest levels
of security clearance.
620
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,400
The bottom three levels
621
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:43,100
are the actual heart of the facility-
622
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,200
the laboratory itself
623
00:37:44,300 --> 00:37:47,300
and culture equipment.
624
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:53,600
Decontamination and containment
are second to none.
625
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,400
It's safe to remove your helmets.
626
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:07,600
Oral antibiotics to kill off any flora
627
00:38:07,700 --> 00:38:11,700
that we might be carrying internally.
628
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,700
Now decontaminating the body externally
629
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,600
is a bit more dramatic.
630
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:20,800
You're gonna have follow
directions closely.
631
00:38:20,900 --> 00:38:23,600
Taking a shortcut could
prove to be fatal.
632
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:25,000
Once you're ready,
633
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:29,400
you'll establish your identity
using a retinal scan.
634
00:39:51,300 --> 00:39:53,000
That was some spa.
635
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:55,100
We do have our amenities.
636
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,500
Now we each have our own
private sleeping quarters,
637
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,900
though we might not see much of them.
638
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,700
The dining area and gymnasium,
which never close.
639
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,300
Now the badges you're wearing
provide voice-controlled access
640
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,700
to the computer system
and the lab equipment.
641
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,400
They also monitor any radiation
642
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:11,700
or possible contamination
you might face
643
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,600
and provide inter-lab
communication and recording.
644
00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:16,300
You need to wear them at all times.
645
00:40:17,900 --> 00:40:20,200
As painstaking as the entrance is,
646
00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:22,600
I promise you,
it's much harder to get out.
647
00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:24,500
Each level is self-sealing,
and egress
648
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,300
is only through authorization
from the level above.
649
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:28,800
Communication with the outside
650
00:40:28,900 --> 00:40:30,900
is via secure fiber-optic
phone lines and high-speed LAN.
651
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,700
We can contact our families?
652
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,600
Yes, but communication
is only one-way.
653
00:40:34,700 --> 00:40:35,900
Any personal urgent calls
coming into the faculty
654
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,700
are rerouted directly
through the comm center.
655
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,100
Of course, your privacy
will be respected,
656
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,100
but the priority here
must remain the security.
657
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,000
There should be no discussion whatsoever
658
00:40:45,100 --> 00:40:47,800
- about what we're working on.
- What happens in the event
659
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:49,500
of an accidental contamination?
660
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,300
Hatch and seal, like a submarine.
661
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:52,900
In the event
of an overwhelming breach,
662
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,300
the lab is built atop a nuclear device.
663
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:02,700
I've just armed that system.
664
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:03,900
Once it's activated,
665
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,700
there's a 15-minute countdown
to detonation.
666
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,500
You gotta be shittin' me.
I'm sure the chances of an accident
667
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,800
in such a beautifully designed facility
are too small to be significant,
668
00:41:12,900 --> 00:41:14,300
but if there should be a mistake...
669
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:15,300
there is a fail-safe plan.
670
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,400
Dr. Keene is our odd man.
671
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:19,600
- Please insert your card.
- Odd man?
672
00:41:19,700 --> 00:41:23,900
Place your thumb upon the panel.
673
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,500
To abort the self-destruct sequence,
674
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,700
Bill I.D.s himself
via thumbprint and his card.
675
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,200
There's a panel
like this on every level.
676
00:41:32,300 --> 00:41:32,800
- Why Bill?
677
00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:35,200
The army ran an extensive
battery of tests,
678
00:41:35,300 --> 00:41:38,300
and determined that unmarried
males were more likely
679
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:39,400
to make the right choice
during a crisis.
680
00:41:39,500 --> 00:41:42,400
In our particular case,
the right decision
681
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:44,800
is to not prematurely abort
the self-destruction sequence.
682
00:41:44,900 --> 00:41:45,800
So you were looking for the man
683
00:41:45,900 --> 00:41:48,700
most likely to kill himself and us.
684
00:41:51,700 --> 00:41:53,600
Cool.
685
00:41:53,700 --> 00:41:56,300
I feel so reassured.
686
00:42:02,300 --> 00:42:05,200
The omission was not deliberate, sir.
687
00:42:05,300 --> 00:42:07,000
This is one of those programs
688
00:42:07,100 --> 00:42:10,000
that was initiated years ago
by a previous administration.
689
00:42:10,100 --> 00:42:11,200
It's just one of a number of platforms
690
00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:13,900
we have exploring the singularity.
691
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,400
Oh, and now, as a consequence, you
want me to drop a nuclear bomb on Utah?
692
00:42:17,500 --> 00:42:19,000
That would be general Mancheck's
recommendation, sir.
693
00:42:19,100 --> 00:42:23,900
It's a limited low-yield
tactical device, Mr. President -
694
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,800
- less than a kiloton.
- Oh, is that all?
695
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:29,700
We have ongoing test ban
treaty negotiations
696
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,800
with the Russians
and the Chinese.
697
00:42:31,900 --> 00:42:33,600
We're still trying to
get North Korea and Iran
698
00:42:33,700 --> 00:42:34,600
to abort their nuclear programs.
699
00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:37,900
How am I gonna explain this to them?
700
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,900
Additionally, Mr. President,
701
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,500
not to be crass...
702
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,500
that's your job, Pat.
Weigh right in.
703
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,300
Nuke Utah for whatever reason,
704
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,600
and you can kiss
your reelection good-bye.
705
00:42:48,700 --> 00:42:50,200
What does Dr. Stone recommend?
706
00:42:50,300 --> 00:42:52,800
The Wildfire team
is divided over the issue.
707
00:42:52,900 --> 00:42:55,600
That wasn't my question.
708
00:42:55,700 --> 00:42:59,500
Dr. Stone would prefer
more time to examine Andromeda.
709
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:00,800
I should add, Mr. President,
710
00:43:00,900 --> 00:43:02,300
that while no one is sure
of the origin of this infection,
711
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,700
we do know that a North Korean
satellite was in in the area
712
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,800
just prior to our bird going down.
713
00:43:08,900 --> 00:43:10,700
What, you're saying
this was an aggression,
714
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:11,000
Chuck?
715
00:43:11,100 --> 00:43:12,300
Why would the Koreans do that?
716
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,700
The Pyongyang regime has always
been a loose cannon, sir.
717
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,200
I'm not prepared to go to war
on a hunch
718
00:43:18,300 --> 00:43:19,200
and some half-baked intelligence.
719
00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:21,900
If I authorize it, how quickly
720
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,900
can you call that strike
on Piedmont, general?
721
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,800
Let's give Dr. Stone
some time to do his work.
722
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,900
You lied to me about that satellite.
723
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,100
"Need to know," Ed.
724
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,400
If you ever lie to me again, Chuck,
725
00:43:44,500 --> 00:43:45,400
and homeland security
might just stumble
726
00:43:45,500 --> 00:43:49,400
over on of your little
"off the book" ops.
727
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:52,900
Why did you push
the Korean scenario?
728
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,100
You said yourself it was a possibility.
729
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,400
But unlikely. You know
something I don't, Chuck?
730
00:43:59,500 --> 00:44:03,000
Just do your job, general.
Let me do mine.
731
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,600
Yes, sir.
I- I just gave it new tires...
732
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:20,400
- Henderson.
- Charlie? Nash here.
733
00:44:20,500 --> 00:44:23,400
I got a tip from my army source.
734
00:44:23,500 --> 00:44:25,800
Units of the Salt Lake city
national guard
735
00:44:25,900 --> 00:44:28,800
are suddenly being deployed for
a "training exercise related
736
00:44:28,900 --> 00:44:30,400
to immigration and border security."
737
00:44:30,500 --> 00:44:33,800
Odd thing is, according to my source,
738
00:44:33,900 --> 00:44:36,500
the order originated directly
from the office of Chuck Beeter.
739
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,800
The director of the N.S.A.
doesn't have the authority
740
00:44:38,900 --> 00:44:40,900
to call out the national
guard. Fancy that.
741
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,500
Oh, also, something's happened
to my original source on Scoop.
742
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,700
He left me some weird message
that cut out abruptly.
743
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,200
If I-if I text you his particulars,
744
00:44:47,300 --> 00:44:49,500
can you pull the phone records,
745
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,700
- tell me where the call came from?
- Sure.
746
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,300
I'll see what I can do. And you
check in with me regular, Nash,
747
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:55,700
and watch yourself.
748
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,100
We're obviously dealing with
some kind of infectious agent,
749
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,800
whether it's viral,
fungal, bacteriological,
750
00:45:08,900 --> 00:45:10,700
parasitic or prion,
we just don't know.
751
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,400
To complicate things,
the latest weather report
752
00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:15,900
indicates a possible
Santa Anna weather condition
753
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,500
developing within the next 48 hours.
754
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,000
Those winds could conceivably
sweep the contagion
755
00:45:21,100 --> 00:45:23,000
towards Southern California.
756
00:45:23,100 --> 00:45:25,600
Charlie Henderson from NNT called
757
00:45:25,700 --> 00:45:26,900
about the Utah guard rollout
and the rumors
758
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,900
that it originated
out of Beeter's office.
759
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,400
Unbelievable.
This place leaks like a sieve.
760
00:45:33,500 --> 00:45:34,400
It's sooner than we might like,
761
00:45:34,500 --> 00:45:37,100
but not entirely unexpected.
762
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,500
In any case, I think
we can stall Henderson.
763
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,700
Maybe this would be
a good opportunity
764
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,500
to offer NNT an exclusive
about your reelection campaign.
765
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,700
You know, kill two birds with one stone.
766
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:48,800
Henderson is not the real problem.
767
00:45:48,900 --> 00:45:51,500
He can be leveraged, but Nash-
768
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:52,900
Nash is different.
Nash is a bulldog.
769
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,100
Have you located his sources yet?
770
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,300
He's gone to ground,
but we're closing in.
771
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,800
The problem is, if Nash
gets in contact with Stone,
772
00:46:00,900 --> 00:46:02,500
there's gonna be no way
773
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,000
to keep Project Scoop out of the press.
774
00:46:05,100 --> 00:46:06,800
Can't we just impose a gag order
775
00:46:06,900 --> 00:46:08,000
on the Wildfire team?
776
00:46:08,100 --> 00:46:10,400
That ain't gonna be pretty.
777
00:46:12,500 --> 00:46:15,800
Of course, sometimes these
communication systems
778
00:46:15,900 --> 00:46:18,200
suffer from mechanical failure.
779
00:46:18,300 --> 00:46:21,200
I say we go nuclear
and sterilize the whole area.
780
00:46:21,300 --> 00:46:22,800
Fortunately, you're not in charge.
781
00:46:22,900 --> 00:46:24,900
The final call, please
correct me if I'm wrong,
782
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,600
is the president's.
783
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,300
Dr. Stone, please contact
the communications officer.
784
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:32,600
Dr. Noyce is right.
785
00:46:32,700 --> 00:46:33,900
Our job is to employ
the best science we can
786
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,400
so the president has
the information he needs
787
00:46:37,500 --> 00:46:38,800
to make a decision.
788
00:46:38,900 --> 00:46:41,200
Now why don't you all
get started on the satellite?
789
00:46:41,300 --> 00:46:43,000
I'll be in in a minute.
790
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,800
Call for Dr. Stone.
791
00:46:53,900 --> 00:46:57,200
We're having a problem
with the communication system.
792
00:46:57,300 --> 00:46:59,600
Now we're okay within the lab,
793
00:46:59,700 --> 00:47:02,000
but I can't raise the outside at all.
794
00:47:02,100 --> 00:47:05,500
Computer, phones - nada.
795
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,100
Okay.
796
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:19,600
So we'll be entering the capsule
through the compartment door,
797
00:47:19,700 --> 00:47:24,200
which was originally removed
by Piedmont's late fire chief.
798
00:47:24,300 --> 00:47:26,100
I think it's safe to conclude
799
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,000
that Andromeda was originally
inside the capsule,
800
00:47:28,100 --> 00:47:29,900
otherwise the citizens
who recovered it
801
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:31,900
would never have made it
back to town alive.
802
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,200
What did Mancheck say the
satellite was doing?
803
00:47:34,300 --> 00:47:34,900
He didn't say.
804
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,800
Apparently, we're experiencing
805
00:47:36,900 --> 00:47:39,100
some kind of technical glitch
within our communication system.
806
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,900
Glitch?
I don't like glitch.
807
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,000
All external computer
and communication lines
808
00:47:43,100 --> 00:47:45,000
are down, but I've been assured
809
00:47:45,100 --> 00:47:46,400
that they're gonna have them up
and running as soon as possible.
810
00:47:46,500 --> 00:47:51,200
- Please, Dr. Chou, continue.
- Uh, well, this is not a new satellite.
811
00:47:51,300 --> 00:47:54,100
I would say it's at least
two to three generations old.
812
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,100
And from what I can
tell from the exterior,
813
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,000
it wasn't designed
for communications,
814
00:47:58,100 --> 00:47:59,900
navigations or surveillance.
815
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,000
In fact, what it appears to be is a
biocontainment vessel.
816
00:48:03,100 --> 00:48:06,700
Son of a bitch.
817
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,500
Well, it's very damn odd.
It means that it was designed
818
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,400
to capture and retain
biological materials.
819
00:48:11,500 --> 00:48:15,500
Which means two things-
820
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,200
And the second thing?
821
00:48:17,300 --> 00:48:19,400
Mancheck is lying.
822
00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:22,800
So it was what?
823
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:24,000
Randomly collecting
bio samples in space?
824
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:28,300
- What are the chances of that?
- Slim to none.
825
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,300
Let's pop it open.
826
00:48:58,300 --> 00:49:01,300
Wait. Go back.
827
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:02,200
Stop it.
828
00:49:02,300 --> 00:49:04,600
Zoom in.
829
00:49:08,100 --> 00:49:09,300
Could that material be Andromeda?
830
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,700
That's still to be determined.
831
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,500
If that's what knocked
the satellite down,
832
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,500
it must have been moving
at a tremendous rate of speed
833
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,600
or be incredibly heavy.
How could that be?
834
00:49:19,700 --> 00:49:21,000
It didn't do that much damage
to the satellite.
835
00:49:21,100 --> 00:49:24,700
Maybe it has elastic qualities
we don't know about.
836
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,300
For now, let's assume
this is Andromeda.
837
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,200
Bill and Charlene, you check
the pathology of this thing.
838
00:49:29,300 --> 00:49:30,500
See if you can figure out how it kills.
839
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,700
Dr. Noyce, you examine our survivors.
840
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,400
Find out what kept them alive.
841
00:49:35,500 --> 00:49:38,500
Dr. Chou, you and I will test
the black substance in Andromeda
842
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,400
for what conditions
each likes and dislikes.
843
00:49:40,500 --> 00:49:43,300
See if we can't I.D. their
nature and their structure.
844
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,500
So, sergeant George, you
and the men of Bravo company
845
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,900
have no idea then what this
sudden call-up is about.
846
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:06,300
No, sir.
847
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,700
They pretty much tell us
to show up
848
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,200
and we find out what the deal
is when we get there.
849
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:12,500
Meanwhile, the pentagon insists
850
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,600
this sudden alert
of the Utah national guard
851
00:50:14,700 --> 00:50:16,800
is nothing more than
a routine training exercise.
852
00:50:16,900 --> 00:50:18,400
No further details are forthcoming,
853
00:50:18,500 --> 00:50:21,100
including when this deployment
will be over.
854
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:26,400
When have we heard that before?
855
00:50:34,100 --> 00:50:36,200
Computer, patient number one,
856
00:50:36,300 --> 00:50:39,900
according to documents
found on him, is Kyle Tobler-
857
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,100
male, 60 years old,
858
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,100
Undernourished,
possibly anemic.
859
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,300
Computer, has he responded
since arrival?
860
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,200
Basolyte test results?
861
00:50:57,500 --> 00:51:00,000
Kyle Tobler is a G.I.
Bleeder.
862
00:51:00,100 --> 00:51:02,600
I want two units of
whole blood, plus plasma,
863
00:51:02,700 --> 00:51:04,100
And vitamin K for him
864
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,500
and a complete blood workup
on both patients.
865
00:51:14,500 --> 00:51:16,700
You're gonna be okay,
sweetie. I promise.
866
00:51:19,700 --> 00:51:22,900
Hey, Charlie.
What's up?
867
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,100
I've got some bad news
about your friend.
868
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:26,900
He's dead.
869
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,400
I'll text you the details
in a moment.
870
00:51:29,500 --> 00:51:31,200
I'm sorry.
871
00:52:16,500 --> 00:52:18,200
Time - ten seconds.
872
00:52:18,300 --> 00:52:20,100
Damn, this thing is lethal.
873
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,000
And airborne, if there was any doubt.
874
00:52:23,100 --> 00:52:25,000
Let's check it.
875
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:30,600
Most John Does we get
don't drive a Harley Panhead.
876
00:52:30,700 --> 00:52:33,800
Lucky for him you remember that.
877
00:52:33,900 --> 00:52:35,800
Yeah.
878
00:52:35,900 --> 00:52:36,900
Lucky for him.
879
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,900
This your friend?
880
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,400
I don't know if you know anybody
in the family or anything,
881
00:52:44,500 --> 00:52:47,200
But, uh, if his bike's
available now, you know,
882
00:52:47,300 --> 00:52:49,100
I'd love to buy it.
883
00:52:54,500 --> 00:52:57,600
No harm in askin', right?
884
00:52:58,900 --> 00:53:00,800
Removing contaminated air.
885
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:30,900
Dead animals are not infectious.
886
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,100
That's an extremely
unusual adaptation
887
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,100
if that's what that is.
888
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,000
Well, we know Andromeda
coagulates the blood,
889
00:53:39,100 --> 00:53:40,900
but how does it enter the body -
890
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,600
through the lungs or the skin?
891
00:53:43,700 --> 00:53:44,700
We can radioactively tag
some blood proteins
892
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,300
and scan the animals
on their initial exposures.
893
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,100
Let's start with a rhesus.
894
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,400
So you think Mancheck
deliberately isolated us?
895
00:53:53,500 --> 00:53:55,500
Let's just say
896
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,700
I wouldn't put it past him.
897
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,500
Have you told the others?
I don't want them distracted.
898
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,100
There's so little time as it is.
Why tell me?
899
00:54:05,900 --> 00:54:09,600
I guess because I needed
somebody to talk to,
900
00:54:09,700 --> 00:54:11,500
somebody I trust.
901
00:54:13,900 --> 00:54:16,200
Mmm. Are you making
any progress?
902
00:54:16,300 --> 00:54:18,700
Yes, the infant's
blood work is normal,
903
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,000
and Tobler's anemic,
and his PH is very acidic.
904
00:54:21,100 --> 00:54:22,500
I don't know why.
905
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,900
Why don't you go ask him?
906
00:54:29,700 --> 00:54:31,800
- George, this is Dr. Stone.
- Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
907
00:54:31,900 --> 00:54:33,200
We're having some kind of
communications problem down here
908
00:54:33,300 --> 00:54:36,600
and I need your help.
Do you got a cell phone that works?
909
00:54:36,700 --> 00:54:39,000
Yeah, my wife got me
this new Blackberry.
910
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,100
Jack, it's Jeremy Stone.
911
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,700
I need to talk to you.
It's urgent.
912
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:52,200
I'll try to call back in one hour.
Damn it!
913
00:55:52,300 --> 00:55:55,500
Aah!
Who the hell are you?
914
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:56,500
Where am I?
915
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,300
I'm Dr. Noyce.
916
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:00,400
You were bleeding
very badly internally,
917
00:56:00,500 --> 00:56:04,300
and we had to give
you a transfusion.
918
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,500
What happened in Piedmont?
919
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:07,700
There was an outbreak of disease.
920
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:11,400
That's why we brought you here.
921
00:56:11,500 --> 00:56:12,400
Am I contagious?
922
00:56:12,500 --> 00:56:15,300
We don't think so,
923
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,700
but we don't want
to take any chances.
924
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,100
Initiating the scintillometer
and exposing the subject.
925
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,500
Definitely inspired by the lungs,
926
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,500
Andromeda then crosses
into the bloodstream
927
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,000
and begins coagulation.
928
00:57:02,100 --> 00:57:03,200
But is that how it actually kills?
929
00:57:03,300 --> 00:57:08,100
Could it be a single cerebral clot?
930
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:09,900
Maybe an anticoagulant
could stop this thing?
931
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,800
Let's repeat with something
like Heparin.
932
00:57:13,900 --> 00:57:14,300
Okay.
933
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,200
I want to get these tissues
samples out to the lab first.
934
00:57:17,300 --> 00:57:20,000
Computer, sample and stain
with H&E and P.A.s.
935
00:57:20,100 --> 00:57:23,000
I also would like sections
of the nerve tissue stained
936
00:57:23,100 --> 00:57:25,200
with both nissl
and cajal gold preparations.
937
00:57:25,300 --> 00:57:26,500
The black material is artificial.
938
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,300
What do you mean?
A construct?
939
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:32,500
Yeah, at first it appears to have
940
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:33,900
a complex lattice-like
microstructure of carbon fibers.
941
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,600
Further analysis reveals
a structure of buckyballs.
942
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,200
Well, that would explain
how the contact
943
00:57:44,300 --> 00:57:45,500
drove the satellite out of orbit
without damaging it,
944
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:49,100
but isn't this kind of
application still theoretical?
945
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,100
Yeah. This is nanotechnology
light-years ahead
946
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,200
of anything anyone
is doing right now.
947
00:57:53,300 --> 00:57:54,800
What about the other material?
948
00:58:07,300 --> 00:58:08,600
Did you see that?
949
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,200
That must be our infectious agent.
950
00:58:13,300 --> 00:58:14,700
Computer, replay.
951
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:17,900
That's Andromeda.
952
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:35,900
Did anybody else make it?
953
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,400
Just you and the baby.
954
00:58:45,100 --> 00:58:46,900
That's Sylvie.
It's the Ritter kid.
955
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:51,100
Not used to her being so quiet.
956
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:52,300
She's one little yeller.
957
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:56,100
Cries to beat the band.
958
00:58:58,300 --> 00:58:59,100
Nobody else made it?
959
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,800
No, I'm afraid not.
960
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,700
This-this place
is giving me the creeps.
961
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,600
I want-I want to get out of here.
962
00:59:15,700 --> 00:59:17,500
You're not well enough
to go anywhere.
963
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,500
I know my rights!
I- I-I'm no damn terrorist.
964
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,100
You're in quarantine.
965
00:59:23,900 --> 00:59:26,900
Well-well, give me
a cigarette then.
966
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,800
Sorry, no smoking.
967
00:59:28,900 --> 00:59:31,600
Oh, yeah, I've heard
that bullshit before-
968
00:59:31,700 --> 00:59:35,100
No smokin', no drinkin',
no Mexican food.
969
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,000
What's the point of livin' like that?
It's damn boring.
970
00:59:37,100 --> 00:59:39,300
You've been hospitalized before
for the bleeding?
971
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:39,900
Hell, yeah.
972
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,400
Spittin' up blood like old faithful.
973
00:59:42,500 --> 00:59:46,100
Tell me I got an ulcer
the size of a grapefruit.
974
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,500
Did they give you
any medication, Kyle?
975
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:52,400
They did, but I didn't much
like the taste of it.
976
00:59:52,500 --> 00:59:53,200
So you went untreated.
977
00:59:53,300 --> 00:59:56,400
What about the pain?
978
00:59:56,500 --> 00:59:58,400
Uh, Aspirin works just fine,
979
00:59:58,500 --> 01:00:00,800
About a bottle a day
towards the end there,
980
01:00:00,900 --> 01:00:03,200
plus a little squeeze.
981
01:00:03,300 --> 01:00:04,200
"Squeeze"?
982
01:00:04,300 --> 01:00:06,400
The pink lady,
983
01:00:06,500 --> 01:00:09,200
Red eye. You know, sterno.
984
01:00:09,300 --> 01:00:11,800
Sterno, that's got methanol in it.
985
01:00:11,900 --> 01:00:14,600
- Is that bad?
- It can blind you or kill you.
986
01:00:14,700 --> 01:00:18,200
Well, it didn't kill me.
987
01:00:18,300 --> 01:00:19,700
They all died,
988
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,300
but I didn't.
989
01:00:28,500 --> 01:00:31,000
Kyle. Kyle, what happened
in Piedmont?
990
01:00:31,100 --> 01:00:33,200
What happened to you
and the others that night?
991
01:00:33,300 --> 01:00:35,100
I don't want to talk about it.
992
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:36,400
It's very important.
993
01:00:36,500 --> 01:00:39,200
Lots of lives depend
on what you might know.
994
01:00:39,300 --> 01:00:42,100
Look, I don't know!
I don't want to talk about it.
995
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:44,000
Kyle,
996
01:00:44,100 --> 01:00:46,000
what did you see that night?
997
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,300
It was Jeff Megan
and Suzie Travers.
998
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,000
They found the damn thing.
999
01:01:02,100 --> 01:01:05,800
They're just kids, really.
1000
01:01:05,900 --> 01:01:09,100
They-they brought it
to the fire station,
1001
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,200
to the chief Hank Benedict,
1002
01:01:11,300 --> 01:01:12,800
'cause I hear he's an engineer
and knows lots of stuff.
1003
01:01:12,900 --> 01:01:17,700
The only reason I know
is 'cause I was playin' poker
1004
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,700
at the fire station -
Me, Hank
1005
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,700
aAnd Al Ritter
who runs the gas station,
1006
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:23,900
Herbie Block and Annie Dillon.
1007
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:25,400
You think it's from outer space?
1008
01:01:25,500 --> 01:01:28,700
It fell from the sky, Annie.
1009
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:30,800
You know what I mean.
Is it alien?
1010
01:01:30,900 --> 01:01:34,300
Yeah, that's why it says
U.S.A. on the side.
1011
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,000
You think aliens can't spell?
1012
01:01:36,100 --> 01:01:38,200
Probably just a weather satellite.
1013
01:01:38,300 --> 01:01:40,600
Yeah, that's what
they want you to think.
1014
01:01:40,700 --> 01:01:42,300
Have you ever heard of area 51?
1015
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,100
You don't think that there
aren't all these secret
1016
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,800
government things that goes on
that none of us know about?
1017
01:01:48,900 --> 01:01:50,800
- What do you think, Hank?
- It's a satellite -
1018
01:01:50,900 --> 01:01:53,300
weather or communications
or something.
1019
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:57,000
I'll make a few calls, and let
you know what I find out.
1020
01:01:57,100 --> 01:01:59,400
About a half-hour later,
I'm gettin' a soda
1021
01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:01,300
from Al's gas station
1022
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,700
because the squeeze makes
you kind of thirsty.
1023
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,100
So you'd been drinking that day?
1024
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:06,800
How did you feel?
1025
01:02:06,900 --> 01:02:09,100
A- A-A little dizzy,
1026
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:11,300
my-my breath was
kind of short on me.
1027
01:02:13,300 --> 01:02:15,800
My head!
1028
01:02:15,900 --> 01:02:18,600
Aah! My head!
1029
01:02:18,700 --> 01:02:20,000
Al?
1030
01:02:20,100 --> 01:02:25,500
Al? !
1031
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,100
Hang on!
Hang on, buddy!
1032
01:02:39,900 --> 01:02:41,600
Hey, Annie.
1033
01:02:41,700 --> 01:02:44,800
What's going on?
What's wrong with these people?
1034
01:02:44,900 --> 01:02:48,800
You got to burn 'em out. Don't
you see? It's the only way.
1035
01:02:48,900 --> 01:02:51,100
Annie, well, what...?
1036
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,000
Annie!
1037
01:02:53,100 --> 01:02:55,000
What--?
Hey, Annie!
1038
01:02:55,100 --> 01:03:00,400
Annie!
1039
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:09,800
And then everything's quiet.
1040
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:15,300
Then it's like
the whole world is dead.
1041
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:16,600
And that's when I saw the general,
1042
01:03:16,700 --> 01:03:21,200
Scott Arnold, a vet,
steady as a rock.
1043
01:03:21,300 --> 01:03:22,900
You know what's happening, Kyle.
1044
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,900
They've gotten under the wire.
They're inside the compound.
1045
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,900
- I don't think that's it, general.
- Got to face facts, soldier.
1046
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,000
You tell 'em back home
I did my best, okay?
1047
01:03:32,100 --> 01:03:34,100
I thought I'd gone crazy,
1048
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,800
Hallucinatin',
too much pink lady maybe.
1049
01:03:36,900 --> 01:03:39,100
Hey! Hey! Hey, over here!
1050
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:42,100
It's me! I'm here.
Help me, man!
1051
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:45,400
Help me, man!
You got to help me!
1052
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:49,900
No, no, no!
1053
01:03:52,500 --> 01:03:53,900
Help, help,
1054
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,300
No, no, no, no!
1055
01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:00,600
Poor bastard.
1056
01:04:00,700 --> 01:04:04,100
So Tobler was acidotic because
of the methanol he was drinking.
1057
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,200
It breaks down and becomes
formaldehyde and formic acid.
1058
01:04:07,300 --> 01:04:09,300
Plus he was taking
a bottle of aspirin a day.
1059
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,000
That affected his breathing?
1060
01:04:11,100 --> 01:04:13,600
He had to breath rapidly
to blow off the carbon dioxide
1061
01:04:13,700 --> 01:04:15,500
and decrease the carbonic acid
in his body.
1062
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,700
Well, maybe there's a way
1063
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,300
to attack Andromeda in there.
No, the baby's PH is normal.
1064
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:21,700
There's nothing unusual
about her except her colic.
1065
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,500
Charlene? Here's
what we know so far.
1066
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,900
Andromeda is approximately 1 micron,
1067
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,700
the size of a single cell.
It's transmitted by air.
1068
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:32,300
Dead organisms are not infectious.
1069
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:36,100
Andromeda is inspired by its victim.
1070
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,900
It crosses into the bloodstream
where it initiates coagulation.
1071
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:39,700
Death occurs within seconds.
1072
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,300
Now we tested anticoagulants,
1073
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,700
but they don't affect its process.
1074
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:46,400
So it cannot transmit from a
corpse?
1075
01:04:46,500 --> 01:04:47,600
Yeah, strange, isn't it?
1076
01:04:47,700 --> 01:04:50,400
Andromeda kills men, kills
all mammals as far as we know
1077
01:04:50,500 --> 01:04:52,300
and then dies within the organism.
1078
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:53,500
It shows no signs of having
adapted to mankind.
1079
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,800
You know, maybe this
is just what it seems -
1080
01:04:56,900 --> 01:04:58,000
an alien life-form, the first
mankind has ever encountered.
1081
01:04:58,100 --> 01:05:02,500
So it's not cuddly like E.T. ,
but there it is. Deal with it.
1082
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,600
Who says it's natural?
It could be engineered.
1083
01:05:04,700 --> 01:05:07,000
Especially given what Tsi
discovered when he was looking
1084
01:05:07,100 --> 01:05:09,600
at the black material
alongside Andromeda.
1085
01:05:09,700 --> 01:05:12,100
Yeah, it's an extremely advanced
form of nanotechnology
1086
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:15,200
called Buckyballs, named after
the inventor Buckminster Fuller.
1087
01:05:15,300 --> 01:05:18,100
The molecule is form of
carbon 60, octahedral in shape,
1088
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,800
with 60 atoms forming
the shape of a ball.
1089
01:05:20,900 --> 01:05:24,100
So if this black material
was a manufactured shell
1090
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:26,200
containing Andromeda,
1091
01:05:26,300 --> 01:05:30,000
then what you're describing is
some kind of a biological bomb.
1092
01:05:30,100 --> 01:05:32,000
- Whoa!
- Why not?
1093
01:05:32,100 --> 01:05:33,200
It would be arrogant
to think that human beings
1094
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:36,400
are the only creatures
sophisticated enough
1095
01:05:36,500 --> 01:05:39,200
to use bacterial warfare. Why would
you assume alien origin at all?
1096
01:05:39,300 --> 01:05:41,500
Mancheck said there was a North
Korean satellite in the area.
1097
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,700
If anyone was gonna attack
the United States,
1098
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,100
why go through all the trouble
of sending a contagion
1099
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:48,200
into space and hoping
that Nasa will pick it up?
1100
01:05:48,300 --> 01:05:51,600
Why not simply bring it in
on a shipping container
1101
01:05:51,700 --> 01:05:53,000
like one of the thousands that
come in every day un-inspected
1102
01:05:53,100 --> 01:05:57,000
because homeland security just
doesn't have enough resources
1103
01:05:57,100 --> 01:05:58,900
to do the job?
1104
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,100
And for that matter,
why use such an exotic bug
1105
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,600
when plague, typhus or smallpox
would be just fine?
1106
01:06:02,700 --> 01:06:06,900
Well, you'd be the expert on that.
Whoa!
1107
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,700
Easy, Keene. Mancheck is a
liar, and you are a racist fool!
1108
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:11,800
Yeah? How many died in that
outbreak in Shanghal?
1109
01:06:11,900 --> 01:06:15,000
That's enough, both of you.
1110
01:06:27,700 --> 01:06:28,800
It's growing?
1111
01:06:28,900 --> 01:06:31,500
That's right.
1112
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,100
Now the first time it displayed
that behavior it was unprovoked.
1113
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:37,800
So is what we just saw some kind
of nonspecific growth response
1114
01:06:37,900 --> 01:06:40,000
Or a sentient reaction to injury?
1115
01:06:40,100 --> 01:06:41,600
Maybe it just doesn't like being poked?
1116
01:06:41,700 --> 01:06:45,400
I think we need to
focus more on structure,
1117
01:06:45,500 --> 01:06:47,300
what is Andromeda made of.
1118
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,100
Bill, you and Charlene,
do an amino acid workup
1119
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:51,200
while Tsi does a spectro-analysis.
1120
01:06:51,300 --> 01:06:53,600
I'd like to continue my exploration
1121
01:06:53,700 --> 01:06:55,600
of the black material.
1122
01:06:55,700 --> 01:06:58,800
That is, unless you think
I'm a security risk, Bill?
1123
01:06:58,900 --> 01:07:01,300
I trust you, Tsi. Why wouldn't I?
1124
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:03,700
I know there's a link between
Kyle Tobler and Sylvie Ritter.
1125
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:05,700
I want to continue to pursue that.
1126
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:07,100
Let's get started.
1127
01:07:16,300 --> 01:07:18,700
I appreciate the lift, man.
Car just up and died on me.
1128
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,300
No problem, man.
1129
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,600
It's important to see
your family when they ship out.
1130
01:07:23,700 --> 01:07:26,900
You never know, know what I mean?
1131
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,300
What happened in Shanghal?
1132
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:32,200
It was a different time back then.
1133
01:07:32,300 --> 01:07:35,300
The international treaties
on biowarfare were toothless.
1134
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,100
Every country, including yours,
was experimenting.
1135
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:41,300
We were field testing
a weaponized version
1136
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,400
of hemorrhagic smallpox
at an outdoor laboratory.
1137
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:48,800
It proved much, uh,
hardier than we expected.
1138
01:07:48,900 --> 01:07:50,700
A young girl in a fishing boat
9 miles offshore
1139
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:55,800
caught the disease,
brought it back to the city.
1140
01:07:55,900 --> 01:07:59,300
It killed 107 people,
1141
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,500
30 of them children,
before we could contain it.
1142
01:08:05,900 --> 01:08:08,500
There were people
in both our governments
1143
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:10,200
who were prepared to unleash
unimaginable horrors.
1144
01:08:10,300 --> 01:08:15,900
I like to think that
in the end reason prevailed,
1145
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:20,300
but maybe we were
just very, very lucky.
1146
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:22,000
Jeremy! Jeremy!
1147
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:25,200
You're not gonna believe this.
1148
01:08:25,300 --> 01:08:28,400
Andromeda doesn't have D.N.A.
1149
01:08:28,500 --> 01:08:31,700
- What is it, some kind of prion?
- No proteins, not even any amino acids.
1150
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:32,900
Charlene was right.
1151
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,400
There has never been
anything like Andromeda
1152
01:08:35,500 --> 01:08:37,000
anywhere on the earth.
1153
01:08:37,100 --> 01:08:39,800
This is terra incognita.
This is alien.
1154
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:45,600
Hey, that's good eatin'.
1155
01:08:45,700 --> 01:08:48,600
- Appreciate the food, Mr. Nash.
- My pleasure, sergeant.
1156
01:08:48,700 --> 01:08:51,400
Didn't know they were embedding
journalists on this operation.
1157
01:08:51,500 --> 01:08:53,800
Pretty much standard operating
procedure these days.
1158
01:08:53,900 --> 01:08:56,600
Just bringin' the war on terror home.
1159
01:08:56,700 --> 01:08:57,700
- Nash.
- Jeremy Stone.
1160
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,100
Jeremy Stone-I've been trying
to reach you, man.
1161
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:01,800
Where the hell are you?
1162
01:09:01,900 --> 01:09:03,600
You sound like you're at the
bottom of a well.
1163
01:09:03,700 --> 01:09:04,400
You can say that.
1164
01:09:04,500 --> 01:09:06,500
Listen, why is the guard
deploying in southern Utah?
1165
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,900
They're
calling it an exercise,
1166
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,300
but the orders originated
with the N.S.A.
1167
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:12,700
possibly because
some kind of secret satellite
1168
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:14,300
code-named Project Scoop
came down in the desert.
1169
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:18,800
- What is Project Scoop?
- No idea, but it's army.
1170
01:09:18,900 --> 01:09:21,900
This is being run by our
old friend general Mancheck.
1171
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:23,800
Let me tell you,
when that sucker came down,
1172
01:09:23,900 --> 01:09:25,400
it killed a lot of people.
1173
01:09:25,500 --> 01:09:27,700
I mean, no one's saying
infectious outbreak, but--
1174
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:29,100
And-
and how do you know that?
1175
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,200
I can't give details,
but it cost my source his life.
1176
01:09:31,300 --> 01:09:33,100
And it wasn't any virus
killed him either,
1177
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:36,000
unless microbes routinely
pack.9 millimeter slugs.
1178
01:09:36,100 --> 01:09:37,500
These guys are not
messing around, Jeremy.
1179
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,500
Now I'm being followed.
At least, I was.
1180
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,700
Are those guard units carrying
any biohazard here with them?
1181
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,000
I don't know, but I can check.
1182
01:09:46,100 --> 01:09:49,300
All right. Well, pay close
attention to their equipment.
1183
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:52,100
- I got to go, Jack.
- Wait, wait, wait.
1184
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,700
I showed you mine. You show me yours.
1185
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,400
It's a biological
infection called Andromeda.
1186
01:09:58,500 --> 01:10:00,200
That's all I can say for now.
1187
01:10:00,300 --> 01:10:01,200
When I know more, I'll call
you first. I promise.
1188
01:10:01,300 --> 01:10:04,400
Look, in the meantime, see
what else you can find out
1189
01:10:04,500 --> 01:10:06,600
about Project Scoop, and I'll
call you back in three hours.
1190
01:10:06,700 --> 01:10:08,600
Listen, Jack, be careful,
1191
01:10:08,700 --> 01:10:10,700
and I'm not just talking
about the army
1192
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,500
and whoever else is
following you. Andromeda.
1193
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:17,200
It's lethal, beyond comprehension.
1194
01:10:21,300 --> 01:10:22,300
Tuesday, Marti, pot roast.
1195
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,700
It's just coffee, Sally.
1196
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:27,300
You all right, Marti? You look
kind of green around the gills.
1197
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,700
Flu or somethin',
my head's killin' me.
1198
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:32,300
- You have any aspirin?
- Yeah, sure.
1199
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:35,400
They're all out to get me.
1200
01:10:35,500 --> 01:10:39,200
Marti, you're hurting me.
1201
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,700
Please, Marti, please.
1202
01:10:53,300 --> 01:10:55,400
General, there has been
an incident
1203
01:10:55,500 --> 01:10:57,300
40 miles south of Piedmont.
1204
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:00,000
A Utah sheriff named Willis
has shot three people
1205
01:11:00,100 --> 01:11:01,900
and killed himself.
1206
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,400
Here's the raw network feed.
1207
01:11:10,100 --> 01:11:12,400
And here's the security camera.
1208
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:15,500
Please, Marti, please,
1209
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:19,600
Please.
1210
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:24,200
- If it's Andromeda...
- It is.
1211
01:11:24,300 --> 01:11:25,300
I don't know how Willis
escaped quarantine.
1212
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,600
Willis could have passed
through Piedmont
1213
01:11:28,700 --> 01:11:31,100
the night of the infection
before the quarantine went up.
1214
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:33,200
Have you isolated these bodies
1215
01:11:33,300 --> 01:11:34,600
and whoever worked the crime
scene?
1216
01:11:34,700 --> 01:11:35,600
Already done, general.
1217
01:11:35,700 --> 01:11:37,700
Mancheck.
1218
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:41,000
I have a message from Dr. Stone
regarding Project Scoop.
1219
01:11:41,100 --> 01:11:44,100
Unless communication
is restored fully
1220
01:11:44,100 --> 01:11:45,600
to the lab,
1221
01:11:45,700 --> 01:11:48,500
Jack Nash will go public
with all the details
1222
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:50,400
Live on NNT.
1223
01:11:50,500 --> 01:11:52,600
You have ten minutes to comply.
1224
01:11:56,300 --> 01:11:58,000
What happened?
1225
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:03,600
Stone knows about Project Scoop.
1226
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,300
Put Wildfire back online.
1227
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:12,600
Get me Stone.
1228
01:12:12,700 --> 01:12:15,500
Yes, general.
1229
01:12:30,700 --> 01:12:33,300
Come on.
You deliberately isolated us.
1230
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:34,700
And you lied about the purpose
for the satellite, general.
1231
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:38,600
We had a technical problem,
and the problem got solved.
1232
01:12:38,700 --> 01:12:40,300
Now we want the full facts
on Project Scoop
1233
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:42,200
and everything associated with it,
1234
01:12:42,300 --> 01:12:45,000
or I swear to God every press
agency from "the New York times"
1235
01:12:45,100 --> 01:12:47,900
to some podunk podcaster in
Nebraska will get this story.
1236
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,200
Nasa astronomers discovered
a singularity
1237
01:12:52,300 --> 01:12:55,400
- in our solar system.
- A singularity?
1238
01:12:55,500 --> 01:12:56,900
A theoretical distortion
in the space/time...
1239
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:58,000
continuum. No longer theoretical -
1240
01:12:58,100 --> 01:13:00,800
there was a sudden
and inexplicable appearance
1241
01:13:00,900 --> 01:13:02,800
of a tiny source emitting
extremely powerful bursts
1242
01:13:02,900 --> 01:13:05,100
of light and energy -
In short, a wormhole.
1243
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:08,600
Now we're still in the process
of analyzing that data,
1244
01:13:08,700 --> 01:13:10,900
but physicists have theorized
since 1935
1245
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,300
that traversable wormholes
could function as portals
1246
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:16,100
between distant parts of the galaxy.
1247
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:17,100
Project Scoop was
one of several attempts
1248
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,900
to explore this phenomenon,
and in this case,
1249
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:22,300
to collect samples
of living organisms.
1250
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,400
Now we're not sure
exactly what happened,
1251
01:13:25,500 --> 01:13:28,500
but on approach, the satellite
became erratic and came down.
1252
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:32,000
Shortly thereafter,
the wormhole, or...
1253
01:13:32,100 --> 01:13:35,300
whatever the hell it was, closed.
1254
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:38,100
Well, why in God's name
did you withhold this?
1255
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,100
We have wasted valuable time, time we
don't have, flailing about in the dark.
1256
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:42,300
Can you imagine the panic
news of an event like this
1257
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:46,300
would have caused?
It was strictly need-to-know.
1258
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:48,300
Need to cover your ass.
1259
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:50,100
Now why would the army's bio-defense
1260
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:50,800
be covertly collecting samples?
1261
01:13:50,900 --> 01:13:53,300
Maybe shopping for lethal material
1262
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:55,500
that wouldn't be covered
by any existing
1263
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:56,900
or future biowarfare agreements?
1264
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:58,200
What we did,
whatever you think of our motives,
1265
01:13:58,300 --> 01:14:01,300
the problem facing us
right now is Andromeda,
1266
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:02,600
and it's getting worse by
the minute.
1267
01:14:02,700 --> 01:14:03,200
What do you mean?
1268
01:14:03,300 --> 01:14:05,600
Well, the president, largely
on your recommendation,
1269
01:14:05,700 --> 01:14:07,600
opted for quarantining the area
1270
01:14:07,700 --> 01:14:09,700
instead of calling in
a limited nuclear strike,
1271
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:11,600
and now we've already
had a breach.
1272
01:14:11,700 --> 01:14:14,300
I just got word of an event
outside the quarantine zone
1273
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:15,700
that sounds like Andromeda.
1274
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:18,300
Now I've got that area locked up tight,
but I need to know,
1275
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:19,700
what have you got to fight this?
1276
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:21,800
Nothing at this point,
not a single thing.
1277
01:14:21,900 --> 01:14:24,400
Andromeda is completely unlike
anything we have ever seen.
1278
01:14:24,500 --> 01:14:26,900
It would appear to be alien
in its source except...
1279
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,100
except for the material
found along with it,
1280
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,500
which we think might be
a casing or a delivery system.
1281
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:33,300
It's built from
materials common to earth
1282
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,700
but utilizes a nanotechnology
that so far is only theoretical.
1283
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,100
So what are you saying then?
1284
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,700
Is Andromeda of this
world, or is it alien?
1285
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:43,600
We can't say, either way,
1286
01:14:43,700 --> 01:14:46,300
but it's extremely unlikely
that Andromeda is the creation
1287
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:48,100
of any kind of terrestrial power.
1288
01:14:48,100 --> 01:14:49,700
Whatever the source, general, we
need to nuke Piedmont right now.
1289
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:53,200
I have to say, I agree with Bill.
I think it's still too risky.
1290
01:14:53,300 --> 01:14:55,100
Well, what the hell else can we do?
1291
01:15:06,900 --> 01:15:09,400
Wildfire has effectively ruled
out Andromeda as originating
1292
01:15:09,500 --> 01:15:12,100
with any known enemy -
foreign or domestic.
1293
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:13,700
Are we under attack or not?
1294
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,800
Absolutely, but from whom or what,
1295
01:15:16,900 --> 01:15:19,600
we can't say with certainty.
1296
01:15:19,700 --> 01:15:22,400
What, you're saying this
is an alien attack, Chuck?
1297
01:15:22,500 --> 01:15:24,400
Yes, sir.
1298
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:28,100
Wherever Andromeda comes from,
1299
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:31,400
it dies in Piedmont, understand?
1300
01:15:31,500 --> 01:15:33,400
We're ready when you are,
Mr. President.
1301
01:15:33,500 --> 01:15:37,900
Are the guardsmen
on the ground going to be safe?
1302
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:39,100
We'll pull back all forward
observation posts 5 miles.
1303
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:43,000
None of our men will be
in harm's way, Mr. President.
1304
01:15:47,300 --> 01:15:48,100
Very well.
1305
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:50,400
Do it.
1306
01:15:50,500 --> 01:15:52,500
5 miles from the target,
1307
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,700
I want you to let loose
and climb like hell.
1308
01:16:01,500 --> 01:16:04,100
Theoretically you should be
able to avoid the aftershock,
1309
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,000
But no one's actually dropped
one of these things
1310
01:16:06,100 --> 01:16:07,800
since Nagasaki.
1311
01:16:07,900 --> 01:16:09,500
Blair.
1312
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:11,900
You may authorize
the launch when ready.
1313
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,400
Yes, sir.
1314
01:16:22,100 --> 01:16:24,000
- It's a go.
- Sir.
1315
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:30,100
What exactly are we lookin' for?
1316
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:33,700
Trespassers, little green men,
1317
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:35,400
who knows.
1318
01:16:35,500 --> 01:16:36,900
Tear it down, fellas.
They're pullin' us back.
1319
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:41,200
- You got to be kidding me.
- You heard me. Let's go.
1320
01:16:41,300 --> 01:16:42,900
What is that?
1321
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:46,200
Some kind of eagle, sir.
1322
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:51,400
It's got somethin' in its claws.
What is that thing?
1323
01:16:51,500 --> 01:16:54,100
Whoa, whoa, you can't
shoot an eagle, sergeant.
1324
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:58,700
It's a rat.
1325
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:01,100
He's bombing us with a rat.
1326
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,500
No, way.
1327
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,100
- Oh, my head!
- You all right?
1328
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:13,200
- What's up, man?
- Oh, it hurts.
1329
01:17:21,500 --> 01:17:22,900
He's dead.
1330
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:24,800
This isn't happening.
1331
01:17:24,900 --> 01:17:27,900
Oh, man, this isn't happening.
1332
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,400
It's the end of days,
1333
01:17:29,500 --> 01:17:32,800
the mark of the beast.
1334
01:17:32,900 --> 01:17:34,600
Cut that out right now.
The seals are broken!
1335
01:17:34,700 --> 01:17:37,400
Hell in a handbasket,
it's where we're goin'!
1336
01:17:37,500 --> 01:17:39,600
Put your gun down!
1337
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:17,300
If Mancheck hadn't kept us
in the dark--
1338
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,100
We just ran out of time.
1339
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:22,600
There are just some things
that don't add up.
1340
01:18:22,700 --> 01:18:27,200
Chou's casing theory
doesn't--doesn't feel right.
1341
01:18:27,300 --> 01:18:29,900
Something's missing, but I--
I just can't put my finger on it.
1342
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,900
# Come home, baby #
1343
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,300
Afternoon, private Carson.
1344
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:15,600
Jack Nash, NNT. Great job
you fellas are doin'.
1345
01:19:15,700 --> 01:19:17,100
Can I help you?
1346
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:20,400
Those, uh, Stryker carriers
of yours are really something.
1347
01:19:20,500 --> 01:19:21,500
Are those chemical/biological units?
1348
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:23,000
Yes, sir, pretty much
top-of-the-line.
1349
01:19:23,100 --> 01:19:27,600
Now what's that bio trace m3 sampler?
1350
01:19:27,700 --> 01:19:31,100
Uh, it's used to collect
biological samples.
1351
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:33,900
We don't normally travel with
this kind of, uh, equipment.
1352
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,000
Why do you suppose they need
something like that for?
1353
01:19:37,100 --> 01:19:39,200
Uh, why are you here?
1354
01:19:51,700 --> 01:19:53,900
You're approaching a restricted area!
1355
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:57,700
Stop your vehicle immediately!
1356
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:01,800
It's a suicide bomber!
1357
01:20:04,700 --> 01:20:07,200
Open fire!
1358
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:34,200
Charlie, I'm at-- I'm at desert H.Q.
For the guard.
1359
01:20:34,300 --> 01:20:35,400
Some kind of suicide bomber
just attacked.
1360
01:20:35,500 --> 01:20:38,900
I just sent photos.
Also I just found-
1361
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:40,400
General Michaelson, you ever heard
of freedom of the
1362
01:20:40,500 --> 01:20:41,300
Take Mr. Nash to the stockade.
1363
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:43,700
- I'm a civilian, general.
- He was illegally on my base,
1364
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:44,700
Which has just come
under terrorist attack.
1365
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:47,200
Care to go on the record
about that, general?
1366
01:20:47,300 --> 01:20:49,100
Northcom, this is Alpha One.
1367
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:50,900
I will enter the release zone
in 30 seconds.
1368
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:52,600
Roger, Alpha One.
1369
01:20:52,700 --> 01:20:55,100
Arm missile.
1370
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:57,400
Roger that. Arming missile.
1371
01:20:59,100 --> 01:21:01,600
Missile is armed
and ready to go.
1372
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:07,700
These are the results
of our growth matrix program
1373
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:09,600
on Andromeda.
1374
01:21:11,900 --> 01:21:12,800
The particular growth medium
1375
01:21:12,900 --> 01:21:15,500
doesn't seem to be a factor.
1376
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:17,900
But atmosphere and light are crucial.
1377
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,300
Darkness and infrared inhibit
growth, likewise for oxygen.
1378
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,300
Nitrogen is a wash.
Ultraviolet light stimulates,
1379
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:24,200
so does carbon dioxide.
1380
01:21:24,300 --> 01:21:26,100
So Andromeda thrives
best in an atmosphere
1381
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:27,600
of 100% carbon dioxide lit
by ultraviolet light.
1382
01:21:27,700 --> 01:21:32,600
Looks to me almost like
a pure conversion system.
1383
01:21:32,700 --> 01:21:36,100
Computer, post all results
for all closed growth systems.
1384
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:41,500
You're right. No excretions,
no waste, amazing.
1385
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:43,800
What effect does radiation have?
1386
01:21:43,900 --> 01:21:47,400
Computer, check all irradiated samples.
1387
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:52,600
My god, it eats it up.
1388
01:21:52,700 --> 01:21:55,400
Nuking Andromeda is not gonna kill it.
1389
01:21:55,500 --> 01:21:57,500
It'll make it grow exponentially.
1390
01:22:03,100 --> 01:22:06,200
Give me general Mancheck.
This is a code red emergency.
1391
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:10,000
Entering release zone.
1392
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:14,100
Dewitt.
Urgent message from Stone.
1393
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:16,000
Get the president
to shut down that launch.
1394
01:22:16,100 --> 01:22:18,700
Mr. President, message
from Wildfire. We have to abort.
1395
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:20,600
Hold fire.
1396
01:22:20,700 --> 01:22:23,200
30 seconds to target.
1397
01:22:23,300 --> 01:22:26,600
Mr. President. Dr. Stone,
what do you mean, abort?
1398
01:22:26,700 --> 01:22:29,500
Andromeda eats radiation. If you
nuke it, you won't kill it.
1399
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:32,200
You will grow it.
Northcom.
1400
01:22:32,300 --> 01:22:34,300
General Blair,
this is president Scott.
1401
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:36,800
I am ordering you to abort
the mission immediately.
1402
01:22:36,900 --> 01:22:38,700
Stand down, Alpha One.
Do not launch.
1403
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:40,700
I say again, cancel sequence
and return to base.
1404
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:42,400
Roger that, northcom.
1405
01:22:42,500 --> 01:22:45,600
This is Alpha One. I am shutting
down the launch sequence.
1406
01:22:56,900 --> 01:22:59,100
Confirming.
Missile is disarmed.
1407
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:04,600
Oh, thank goodness.
1408
01:23:04,700 --> 01:23:06,600
Wow, that was close.
1409
01:23:17,100 --> 01:23:21,300
Northcom, I am having some kind
of mechanical problem here.
1410
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,800
Northcom, this aircraft
is not responding.
1411
01:23:30,900 --> 01:23:33,500
Northcom, please come in.
I cannot control this craft.
1412
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,800
Oh, my-- there went the visor.
1413
01:23:36,900 --> 01:23:38,600
Northcom, my visor
is disintegrating. The-
1414
01:23:38,700 --> 01:23:41,800
I can't-I can't breathe.
I can't breathe.
1415
01:23:41,900 --> 01:23:44,200
I can't get air.
I- I'm losing control here, sir.
1416
01:23:44,300 --> 01:23:46,200
I cannot get any air.
I need--
1417
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:51,200
Northcom, please come-
1418
01:23:51,300 --> 01:23:53,700
The missile is rearmed!
1419
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:58,500
It's disintegrating!
1420
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:00,900
Its almost falling apart!
1421
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,000
I have to bail out!
1422
01:24:51,900 --> 01:24:51,900
What the hell?
1423
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,800
What the hell?
1424
01:24:59,900 --> 01:25:01,800
What in the hell
was that?
1425
01:25:01,900 --> 01:25:04,000
Mancheck,
why did you drop the bomb?
1426
01:25:04,100 --> 01:25:08,700
Well, there must have been
some kind of malfunction!
1427
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:09,800
General Michaelson,
are your troops all right?
1428
01:25:09,900 --> 01:25:15,400
A little shook up, sir,
but I think we'll be okay.
1429
01:25:15,500 --> 01:25:17,400
I'm sending patrols out
1430
01:25:17,500 --> 01:25:19,300
to the outlying posts
within minutes.
1431
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:21,200
Mr. President, seismic stations
1432
01:25:21,300 --> 01:25:23,200
are picking this up
all over the world.
1433
01:25:23,300 --> 01:25:25,600
We need to decide
how we're going to respond.
1434
01:25:25,700 --> 01:25:27,500
Tell 'em the truth.
1435
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:30,500
Tell 'em we lost a plane
for some...
1436
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,300
yet unknown
mechanical reasons.
1437
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:36,900
Agnogenic systems failure, sir.
1438
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:40,900
Somehow the tactical
payload went off.
1439
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:42,800
Schedule a news conference.
1440
01:25:42,900 --> 01:25:45,700
There'll be no way to claim
that the questions this raises
1441
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:47,200
are motivated by
political partisanship.
1442
01:25:47,300 --> 01:25:52,400
And I want to know
what happened out there.
1443
01:25:52,500 --> 01:25:54,100
You know as well as I do
1444
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:56,700
that nuclear arms have
numerous fail-safe systems.
1445
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,100
- That bomb did not go off accidentally!
- We canceled the drop. You heard it.
1446
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:01,200
- You're lying!
- Knock it off, Stone.
1447
01:26:01,300 --> 01:26:04,300
- Can I see the pilot's last transmission?
- Okay.
1448
01:26:07,500 --> 01:26:09,900
It's - it's almost disintegrating!
1449
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:10,800
It's just falling apart!
1450
01:26:10,900 --> 01:26:14,200
The missile is rearmed!
1451
01:26:14,300 --> 01:26:17,000
Aah!
1452
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:23,300
Now what would destroy plastic
resin compounds like that?
1453
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:24,900
Certain chemical agents
under certain conditions
1454
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:29,100
can destabilize the chemical
structure of polymers.
1455
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:30,700
So could certain
microorganisms.
1456
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:34,700
- It's mutating.
- Yeah, but the plane
1457
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:37,300
had to by flying at least
several thousand feet.
1458
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:39,000
It's always been
an airborne pathogen,
1459
01:26:39,100 --> 01:26:40,100
albeit of a very short life span.
1460
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:44,600
Maybe this is a new, hardier version.
1461
01:26:44,700 --> 01:26:46,300
But it was miles away.
1462
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:49,000
But there was a fire, remember?
1463
01:26:49,100 --> 01:26:51,500
And maybe this variant,
1464
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:54,400
either as a separate mutation
or residing in a living host
1465
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:56,400
- Insect, bird -
1466
01:26:56,500 --> 01:27:01,200
rose on that column of smoke
and made contact with the jet.
1467
01:27:01,300 --> 01:27:04,600
No, no. That is-
that is too difficult to believe.
1468
01:27:04,700 --> 01:27:07,000
Does anyone have a better theory?
1469
01:27:10,900 --> 01:27:14,600
Does anyone even have
a different theory?
1470
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:23,000
Recon reports eight casualties
1471
01:27:23,100 --> 01:27:27,100
at a forward observation post,
1472
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:28,300
but these were not caused
by the blast.
1473
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:31,600
These attacks may
very well be connected
1474
01:27:31,700 --> 01:27:33,100
to the attacks
on our headquarters.
1475
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,500
Speaking off the record,
it would be a lot easier
1476
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:37,700
for me to do my job if I knew
what we were up against.
1477
01:27:40,500 --> 01:27:43,500
It's some kind of virulent
biological infection.
1478
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:45,400
As far as we know,
1479
01:27:45,500 --> 01:27:48,000
it may be a prelude
to a much larger attack.
1480
01:27:48,100 --> 01:27:50,600
Get me wildfire.
1481
01:27:50,700 --> 01:27:52,400
The event in the diner
we can explain
1482
01:27:52,500 --> 01:27:54,100
as a lapse in quarantine.
1483
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:56,000
Your smoke theory might explain
how it reached that jet,
1484
01:27:56,100 --> 01:27:58,200
but this dead army unit
1485
01:27:58,300 --> 01:28:00,100
was 50 miles away from Piedmont.
1486
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:02,100
It must have adapted
and found transportation
1487
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:04,700
in a host. Like influenza,
jumping back and forth
1488
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:07,300
between animal
and human populations.
1489
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:08,800
How do I quarantine that?
1490
01:28:08,900 --> 01:28:10,500
You have to scorch the perimeter,
1491
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:12,200
and drive everything living
inside the area.
1492
01:28:12,300 --> 01:28:14,400
The rate of mutation is likely
to increase post-blast.
1493
01:28:14,500 --> 01:28:16,100
We have to be prepared for anything.
1494
01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:18,000
The entire area is under
satellite surveillance.
1495
01:28:18,100 --> 01:28:20,900
If something new happens out
there -anything- we'll see it.
1496
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:22,800
What do you need, Stone?
1497
01:28:22,900 --> 01:28:24,800
Tell me what you need
to kill this thing,
1498
01:28:24,900 --> 01:28:26,500
and I'll get it.
1499
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:27,500
I'm not Stonewalling anyone,
I assure you.
1500
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:31,000
I simply think it is better
that you wait
1501
01:28:31,100 --> 01:28:34,100
for the president himself to
answer all of your questions...
1502
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:36,000
from Mancheck--
1503
01:28:36,100 --> 01:28:37,900
Andromeda's mutation rate is increasing.
1504
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,800
There's a very real chance that
we won't be able to contain it.
1505
01:28:40,900 --> 01:28:43,800
- Get "Air Force One" ready.
- I don't think--
1506
01:28:43,900 --> 01:28:45,500
You heard me.
1507
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:47,200
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
1508
01:28:47,300 --> 01:28:48,800
The president
of the United States.
1509
01:28:50,700 --> 01:28:52,800
Sorry to keep you waiting.
1510
01:28:52,900 --> 01:28:55,600
Two hours ago,
one of our Air Force jets
1511
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:57,000
suffered a fatal systems failure,
1512
01:28:57,100 --> 01:28:59,100
and crashed
in a remote part of Utah.
1513
01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:03,100
In the process,
a tactical nuclear device
1514
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,900
was accidentally detonated.
1515
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:07,800
- Mr. President.
- Yes.
1516
01:29:07,900 --> 01:29:09,800
Was this blast near those
Utah national guardsmen,
1517
01:29:09,900 --> 01:29:12,600
and are the surrounding cities
in any immediate danger?
1518
01:29:12,700 --> 01:29:14,500
Yes, the guardsmen
were there in the area
1519
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:16,900
on a training exercise
related to border security.
1520
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:19,100
The area was already
under strict quarantine,
1521
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:20,300
so they were no way
endangered by the blast.
1522
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:24,300
- Yes, Katherine.
- What about radioactive fallout,
1523
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:26,700
and why were those guardsmen
deployed there to begin with?
1524
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:27,500
Yes, we're taking steps to contain it.
1525
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,100
I would like to assure the American public
1526
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:33,600
that they're safety in no way
has been compromised by this.
1527
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:38,100
Bad time, Charlie.
1528
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:40,900
Chuck, listen.
I got a reporter -Jack Nash-
1529
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,000
disappeared while covering
1530
01:29:43,100 --> 01:29:45,000
the deployment of the Utah
national guard.
1531
01:29:45,100 --> 01:29:46,700
So what am I, missing persons?
1532
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:48,700
Come on, Charlie, contact
the local authorities.
1533
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:50,400
I did. They've given me
the runaround,
1534
01:29:50,500 --> 01:29:52,800
and I happen to know that
that deployment order
1535
01:29:52,900 --> 01:29:54,500
- came out of your office.
- Says who?
1536
01:29:54,600 --> 01:29:56,200
Nash was present
for that terrorist attack
1537
01:29:56,300 --> 01:29:57,700
on guard headquarters.
1538
01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:00,100
What attack? I have no idea
what you're talking about.
1539
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:03,600
Really? Take a look.
1540
01:30:12,900 --> 01:30:15,400
- Okay.
- Come on, Chuck.
1541
01:30:15,500 --> 01:30:18,100
I haven't heard from Nash
since he sent me those photos.
1542
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:19,400
Now you want me
to just run with this
1543
01:30:19,500 --> 01:30:21,500
and ask my questions on camera
1544
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:22,700
about a satellite going down,
and that a bio-defense team
1545
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:26,100
sent in by General Mancheck
to collect it are all dead?
1546
01:30:26,200 --> 01:30:28,200
Okay, look. I, uh...
1547
01:30:28,300 --> 01:30:30,000
I'm gonna check into this, Charlie,
1548
01:30:30,100 --> 01:30:32,100
and I will get back to you.
1549
01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:34,000
- Are you all right?
- No.
1550
01:30:34,100 --> 01:30:36,000
And this bomb blast
has got everyone freaking.
1551
01:30:36,100 --> 01:30:37,900
Aunt Alice is a mess.
1552
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:39,400
You know,
people are saying it's-
1553
01:30:39,500 --> 01:30:41,600
it's just an attack by terrorists
1554
01:30:41,700 --> 01:30:43,600
and the government's lying
about it. It's-it's not.
1555
01:30:43,700 --> 01:30:47,400
- How would you know that?
- I just- I just know, is all.
1556
01:30:47,500 --> 01:30:50,500
Yeah, right. The great
Know-It-All, that's you.
1557
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:52,400
- I gotta go.
- Lance.
1558
01:30:52,500 --> 01:30:54,200
Lance..
1559
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,900
the president is taking
a serious pounding over this.
1560
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:02,900
He's announced that
he is traveling to Utah
1561
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:04,800
to personally oversee
the situation.
1562
01:31:04,900 --> 01:31:05,700
So I understand.
1563
01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:08,500
And Henderson at NNT
1564
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:09,900
is all up in arms over Nash,
who apparently showed up
1565
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:14,100
at that national guard
headquarters in the desert.
1566
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:15,900
I prefer not to be embarrassed
by information like that.
1567
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:20,100
Nash is in confinement now.
I'm on my way there.
1568
01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:20,600
Good.
1569
01:31:20,700 --> 01:31:22,300
I need to know how much
information Nash has
1570
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:24,000
and who he's shared it with.
1571
01:31:24,100 --> 01:31:26,700
I also need to feel confident
that he is going to shut up.
1572
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:28,200
Do you think
you can handle that?
1573
01:31:28,300 --> 01:31:31,600
How's Mancheck holding up?
1574
01:31:31,700 --> 01:31:34,400
I would say he's under
a lot of stress right now.
1575
01:31:34,500 --> 01:31:36,400
We're going to take casualties on this,
1576
01:31:36,500 --> 01:31:38,300
and Mancheck may have to be one,
1577
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:39,600
but that doesn't necessarily
apply to his staff,
1578
01:31:39,700 --> 01:31:43,300
especially those who show
boldness and initiative
1579
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:45,500
as we tie up these loose ends.
1580
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:47,900
You can rely on me.
1581
01:31:51,500 --> 01:31:53,600
What do you know about wormholes?
1582
01:31:53,700 --> 01:31:56,500
- What do I look like, a physicist?
- Try your best.
1583
01:31:58,400 --> 01:32:01,400
All I know is that speculation
centers around two basic types:
1584
01:32:01,500 --> 01:32:03,300
Lorentzian and Euclidean.
1585
01:32:03,400 --> 01:32:06,000
Both are, in theory,
potentially traversable.
1586
01:32:06,100 --> 01:32:08,000
That's all you know?
1587
01:32:08,100 --> 01:32:12,000
So a method of travel
1588
01:32:12,100 --> 01:32:14,000
from one part of the universe
to the other.
1589
01:32:14,100 --> 01:32:17,000
Yeah, and through time.
1590
01:32:17,100 --> 01:32:20,000
It's like a worm eating
its way through an apple
1591
01:32:20,100 --> 01:32:21,900
instead of around it.
1592
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:24,500
Don't tell me you actually
believe Mancheck's story.
1593
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:27,000
It's too fantastic to be a lie.
1594
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:34,100
Attagirl.
1595
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:40,500
The North Koreans have announced
1596
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:41,600
they're abandoning
the Seoul agreement
1597
01:32:41,700 --> 01:32:43,000
and reopening their nuclear program
1598
01:32:43,100 --> 01:32:46,300
because of our recent unauthorized
1599
01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:49,200
- and illegal nuclear testing.
- Well, contact Pyongyang.
1600
01:32:49,300 --> 01:32:51,700
Send him satellite photos
of the crash sequence
1601
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:54,400
along with our assurance
as a compliance, okay, Pat?
1602
01:32:56,300 --> 01:32:58,800
- What?
- We've also had word from the U.N.
1603
01:32:58,900 --> 01:33:01,200
that the general assembly
is going to pass a measure
1604
01:33:01,300 --> 01:33:03,100
that will ban all vent mining
1605
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:05,500
unless and until member
countries are satisfied
1606
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:06,500
with a revenue sharing system.
1607
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:09,300
There's also a rumor at the U.N.
1608
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:11,100
- that the blast in Utah was staged...
- Oh.
1609
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:13,100
as a deliberate distraction
1610
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:16,100
- from the vent mining controversy.
- Oh...
1611
01:33:16,200 --> 01:33:17,800
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln,
1612
01:33:17,900 --> 01:33:20,200
how did you like the play?
1613
01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:25,600
Computer, Dr. Stone examining
the tenth series of exposures
1614
01:33:25,700 --> 01:33:27,300
of potential inhibiting agents
to Andromeda.
1615
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:30,100
None of the major classes
of antifungals or antimicrobials
1616
01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:32,000
have the least effect.
1617
01:33:32,100 --> 01:33:35,000
Run all known bacteriophages.
1618
01:33:35,100 --> 01:33:37,400
Commencing exposure
1619
01:33:37,500 --> 01:33:40,100
of Andromeda to multiple
strains of bacteria.
1620
01:33:57,400 --> 01:33:59,300
All tests are negative.
1621
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:01,400
Damn it.
1622
01:34:01,500 --> 01:34:02,400
Everything dies.
1623
01:34:02,500 --> 01:34:06,200
What kills you?
1624
01:34:06,300 --> 01:34:07,800
What?
1625
01:34:07,900 --> 01:34:11,100
Shit.
1626
01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:12,700
- Stupid, stupid.
- What?
1627
01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:16,100
We were in such a hurry,
1628
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:17,300
we forgot to pull the autopsy
of the test rats.
1629
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:20,400
We just assumed that
the coagulation in the body
1630
01:34:20,500 --> 01:34:22,700
was the killer. Whereas
a blood clot in the brain...
1631
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:25,600
would be both lethal and would
explain some of the weird
1632
01:34:25,700 --> 01:34:26,700
and violent behavior
in some of the victims.
1633
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:28,200
We started picking this up
ten minutes ago.
1634
01:34:28,300 --> 01:34:31,500
The color indicates
large amounts of dead
1635
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:33,600
and/or decaying animal matter,
1636
01:34:33,700 --> 01:34:35,000
but a closer look reveals
a massive bird die-off
1637
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:39,200
just outside the blast zone,
which is not explicable
1638
01:34:39,300 --> 01:34:42,100
by either the detonation
or the fallout.
1639
01:34:44,700 --> 01:34:46,600
Is this another mutation?
1640
01:34:46,700 --> 01:34:48,500
I've-
1641
01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:50,000
I've never seen anything
adapt this quickly before.
1642
01:34:50,100 --> 01:34:52,200
Andromeda's movement
into the aviary population
1643
01:34:52,300 --> 01:34:56,900
gives it an incredibly
efficient mode of transport.
1644
01:34:56,900 --> 01:34:58,500
Chlorazine?
1645
01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:00,100
Knocks down anything that flies.
1646
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:03,800
You have to keep it contained.
1647
01:35:08,100 --> 01:35:10,000
What the hell did you guys
set off out there?
1648
01:35:10,100 --> 01:35:11,800
Was that part of Project Scoop?
1649
01:35:11,900 --> 01:35:14,100
What is Project Scoop?
1650
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:15,300
Well, I suspect you know
more about that than I do.
1651
01:35:15,400 --> 01:35:19,300
- I know you asked Lisa Stone about it.
- Oh, really?
1652
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:22,100
- And how do you know that, Colonel Ferrus?
- Well, she told us.
1653
01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:23,900
Lisa told-
Yeah, I find that highly unlikely.
1654
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:26,800
What'd you do, wiretap
her phone, Colonel?
1655
01:35:26,900 --> 01:35:27,900
Was it a
legal wiretap?
1656
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:30,000
I'll be asking the questions here, understood?
1657
01:35:30,100 --> 01:35:32,900
That's a military district
of D.C. patch you're wearing.
1658
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:34,800
Who you working for exactly?
You are aware
1659
01:35:34,900 --> 01:35:36,800
that you have knowingly
violated a quarantined area
1660
01:35:36,900 --> 01:35:38,700
and trespassed on a military base?
1661
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:41,600
Release me immediately, or I'll
have my lawyer all over this.
1662
01:35:41,700 --> 01:35:43,700
Oh, I don't have to let you
speak to a lawyer.
1663
01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:46,500
I don't even have to acknowledge
that you are in our custody.
1664
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:49,500
Under the homeland security act,
you can be held here
1665
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:50,400
indefinitely as a terrorist threat.
1666
01:35:50,500 --> 01:35:53,800
Listen to me, you tin-pot fascist,
1667
01:35:53,900 --> 01:35:55,800
I'm not some hapless
middle eastern exchange student
1668
01:35:55,900 --> 01:35:57,100
with an out-of-date visa.
1669
01:35:57,200 --> 01:35:58,300
I'm an American citizen
with a very public profile.
1670
01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:01,800
You screw with me, and you're
gonna have to answer
1671
01:36:01,900 --> 01:36:03,400
- some really unpleasant questions.
- What you are is an addict--
1672
01:36:03,500 --> 01:36:04,900
- Some really unpleasant questions.
- What you are is an addict
1673
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:06,800
with an inflated sense of self-importance
1674
01:36:06,900 --> 01:36:09,600
who has screwed up in a major way.
1675
01:36:09,700 --> 01:36:11,500
Now I want you to tell me
1676
01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:12,400
everything you know
about Project Scoop
1677
01:36:12,500 --> 01:36:13,900
and who you've shared
the information with.
1678
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:17,200
If you guys are out
to stop this plague,
1679
01:36:17,300 --> 01:36:20,400
what are you doing packing
biological collection equipment?
1680
01:36:20,500 --> 01:36:24,800
Actually, you know,
I prefer it this way.
1681
01:36:55,900 --> 01:36:58,000
You can't hide this, Ferrus!
1682
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:00,800
Whatever the hell it is,
you can't hide it!
1683
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:19,700
The prisoner's personal belongings.
1684
01:37:19,800 --> 01:37:22,600
They'll need 'em as evidence in
Salt Lake City.
1685
01:37:22,700 --> 01:37:23,600
That's not mine.
1686
01:37:23,700 --> 01:37:26,900
That's not mine!
That's not my bag!
1687
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:35,900
You are the chief medical officer
1688
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:37,600
for the Utah highway patrol?
1689
01:37:37,700 --> 01:37:40,200
I am. What can I do
for you this fine day?
1690
01:37:40,300 --> 01:37:43,300
I need some medical information
on Sheriff Willis,
1691
01:37:43,400 --> 01:37:45,000
who shot three people
and then himself
1692
01:37:45,100 --> 01:37:46,700
at a diner in Brush Ridge.
1693
01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:49,500
- I really need it right away.
- Uh, well, I'm sorry.
1694
01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:51,500
I'd love to help you out,
1695
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:53,400
but our medical information
is confidential.
1696
01:37:53,500 --> 01:37:55,600
This is a matter of public safety.
1697
01:37:55,700 --> 01:37:58,400
- Uh, well, sweetie, that may be, but--
- Dr. Smithson,
1698
01:37:58,500 --> 01:38:00,300
I'm gonna give you a direct line
1699
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:02,000
to General George Mancheck
at the pentagon,
1700
01:38:02,100 --> 01:38:04,000
and I suggest you call him
and jerk him around,
1701
01:38:04,100 --> 01:38:06,500
in which case you might find
yourself blindfolded
1702
01:38:06,600 --> 01:38:11,600
and taped to a stretcher
in a military stockade.
1703
01:38:11,700 --> 01:38:13,300
Where did you say
you were calling from?
1704
01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:15,000
Sherriff Willis
must have been exposed
1705
01:38:15,100 --> 01:38:18,300
driving through Piedmont
Sunday night.
1706
01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:20,000
Later, he shows up at the diner.
1707
01:38:20,100 --> 01:38:24,500
He was diabetic, inconsistent
with his insulin use.
1708
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:27,300
He'd had two incidences of
ketoacidosis in the last year.
1709
01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:28,300
Well, did the acidosis
somehow delay
1710
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:29,800
the onset of the Andromeda infection?
1711
01:38:29,900 --> 01:38:33,400
Most die immediately with exposure.
1712
01:38:33,500 --> 01:38:34,900
Those that don't, exhibit
violent behavior within minutes.
1713
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:39,200
Willis lasted a longer time,
while Tobler and the Ritter baby
1714
01:38:39,300 --> 01:38:41,600
Continued to remain symptom-free.
1715
01:38:41,700 --> 01:38:43,700
Why? Well, these are
the temple lobe samples
1716
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:45,500
from our lab rats.
1717
01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:47,400
Note the enormous amounts
of Andromeda.
1718
01:38:47,500 --> 01:38:49,300
Coagulation starts immediately,
1719
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:51,300
and death usually follows
with congestion in the lungs.
1720
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:54,300
If coagulation is inhibited,
then Andromeda moves
1721
01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:56,300
to the brain, creating a hemorrhage,
1722
01:38:56,400 --> 01:38:58,300
provoking violent behavior.
But that doesn't explain
1723
01:38:58,300 --> 01:39:01,600
why diabetic Willis lasted
for hours with Andromeda
1724
01:39:01,700 --> 01:39:04,600
and an alcoholic man
and a colicky baby
1725
01:39:04,700 --> 01:39:05,600
continue to remain uninjured.
1726
01:39:05,700 --> 01:39:08,100
What do they have in common?
1727
01:39:32,100 --> 01:39:33,600
Hey!
1728
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:37,400
Oh!
Hey, what's going on back there?
1729
01:39:37,500 --> 01:39:38,200
Mayday.
This is warrior two.
1730
01:39:38,300 --> 01:39:40,900
We're blowin' smoke here.
1731
01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:45,400
Mayday.
This is warrior two.
1732
01:39:45,500 --> 01:39:46,500
I'm settin' her down.
1733
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:49,600
We have zero visibility.
1734
01:39:56,300 --> 01:39:58,100
Stop!
1735
01:39:58,200 --> 01:39:59,900
Stop, or I'll shoot!
1736
01:40:15,700 --> 01:40:17,600
Let's move two more companies
into sectors nine.
1737
01:40:17,700 --> 01:40:17,800
Sir.
1738
01:40:17,900 --> 01:40:21,300
We've got a helo down just
outside the quarantine area.
1739
01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:22,400
- Survivors?
- Negative.
1740
01:40:22,500 --> 01:40:24,200
We're unable to raise anybody on-site.
1741
01:40:24,300 --> 01:40:27,100
- Get a team in there right away.
- Yes, sir.
1742
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:30,000
- Get me General Mancheck.
- Sir.
1743
01:41:05,300 --> 01:41:07,900
I've never seen a cellular
structure like that.
1744
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:12,600
Take a look at the Fourier
electron density scans.
1745
01:41:15,700 --> 01:41:17,500
It's uneven.
1746
01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:19,500
That doesn't make any sense,
1747
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:21,400
unless this group of organisms was-
1748
01:41:21,500 --> 01:41:23,200
Part of a larger group.
Right.
1749
01:41:23,300 --> 01:41:25,300
So is Andromeda
1750
01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:27,100
self-sustaining like a bacterium,
1751
01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:29,000
or is part of a larger unit,
1752
01:41:29,100 --> 01:41:30,800
like a-
Like an organ?
1753
01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:36,800
Messenger theory.
1754
01:41:36,900 --> 01:41:37,900
What is messenger theory?
1755
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,900
It's a theory in astrobiology
1756
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:41,900
that's been kicking around for years
1757
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:43,300
space travel is long and arduous.
1758
01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:45,100
Instead of tacking a gold plate
1759
01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:48,200
with pictures onto a satellite
1760
01:41:48,300 --> 01:41:50,600
like we did with voyager,
maybe a more efficient way
1761
01:41:50,700 --> 01:41:52,800
of sending a message
is in a seedlike culture
1762
01:41:52,900 --> 01:41:55,100
of bacterium or viruses.
1763
01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:56,300
You're saying Andromeda
is a signal
1764
01:41:56,400 --> 01:41:58,300
created by an intelligent species
1765
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:00,400
and then sent across the universe?
1766
01:42:00,500 --> 01:42:02,400
Or perhaps through the wormhole.
1767
01:42:02,500 --> 01:42:06,100
Well, I don't know about that.
1768
01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:09,400
Well, what if Andromeda
is like a human stem cell-
1769
01:42:09,500 --> 01:42:11,100
it has the capability to change itself
1770
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:13,000
into many different
components depending on
1771
01:42:13,100 --> 01:42:15,200
what it's encountering or what
it's ultimately designed for?
1772
01:42:15,300 --> 01:42:18,100
Okay, as long as we're
playing "what if,"
1773
01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:19,100
maybe it's not the message,
1774
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:21,900
maybe it's the messenger.
1775
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:23,500
I mean, we all assume
that alien life is large,
1776
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:28,000
singular and complex,
but what if it was a colony?
1777
01:42:28,100 --> 01:42:30,100
You're missing the point.
1778
01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:31,800
Whether Andromeda
is the newspaper
1779
01:42:31,900 --> 01:42:34,900
or it's the delivery boy
who is dropping it off,
1780
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:36,600
The message is loud and clear-
1781
01:42:36,700 --> 01:42:39,600
"Drop dead."
1782
01:42:39,700 --> 01:42:42,200
We've got a problem.
Nash has disappeared again.
1783
01:42:42,300 --> 01:42:45,100
We don't have a problem, Colonel.
1784
01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:47,600
You have a problem.
1785
01:42:47,700 --> 01:42:51,100
If Nash gets to his editor,
he'll put two and two together.
1786
01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:52,900
Yeah. Well, he's got no water-
1787
01:42:59,200 --> 01:43:01,100
I want you to find him.
1788
01:43:01,200 --> 01:43:03,100
I want you to make him disappear.
1789
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:04,900
Yes, sir.
1790
01:43:11,100 --> 01:43:14,100
I miss you bad, babe.
1791
01:43:14,200 --> 01:43:17,800
The bed's cold, and the house
is two sizes too big.
1792
01:43:17,900 --> 01:43:19,300
Oh, you sweet thing.
1793
01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:23,400
How are the kids?
1794
01:43:23,500 --> 01:43:25,300
Tired of daddy's cooking.
1795
01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:27,300
You cook now?
1796
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:30,100
Hey, desperate times
call for desperate measures.
1797
01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:32,200
You know that.
1798
01:43:32,300 --> 01:43:35,300
Mm, desperate, huh?
1799
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:37,000
So...
1800
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:41,500
tell me how desperate you are
1801
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:43,900
in great detail.
1802
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:45,900
Do you believe in time travel?
1803
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:48,000
Sure, as much as I believe
1804
01:43:48,100 --> 01:43:49,000
in Santa Claus
and the easter bunny,
1805
01:43:49,100 --> 01:43:50,500
Which is to say, I love the idea,
1806
01:43:50,600 --> 01:43:53,600
but I'm dubious about the reality.
1807
01:43:53,700 --> 01:43:55,500
But I'm all for it.
1808
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:57,500
For someone like me
who's always running late,
1809
01:43:57,600 --> 01:43:59,400
it would be a godsend.
1810
01:43:59,500 --> 01:44:01,900
According to Chou,
a Lorentzian wormhole
1811
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:05,500
is theoretically traversable, not
only in terms of distance, but in time.
1812
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:06,600
Andromeda comes from the past?
The future?
1813
01:44:06,700 --> 01:44:09,600
Well, the sophistication
of the technology
1814
01:44:09,700 --> 01:44:13,700
involved in the black material
would argue for the future.
1815
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:16,500
Why would you threaten
your own past like that?
1816
01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:18,500
I don't know.
1817
01:44:20,500 --> 01:44:21,400
It would be nice, though, wouldn't it,
1818
01:44:21,500 --> 01:44:24,100
to be able to go back,
change things?
1819
01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:27,100
I- I think a linear time frame
1820
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:29,900
is a key part of what it means
to be human.
1821
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:32,700
If our really important choices
1822
01:44:32,800 --> 01:44:34,400
could be sampled
1823
01:44:34,500 --> 01:44:36,400
like a box of chocolates,
1824
01:44:36,500 --> 01:44:38,600
then our decisions
would lose their meaning.
1825
01:44:38,700 --> 01:44:40,800
What would be at stake?
1826
01:44:42,500 --> 01:44:45,000
Everything good at home?
1827
01:44:45,100 --> 01:44:47,000
Oh, yeah.
1828
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:50,800
How about you?
1829
01:44:50,900 --> 01:44:53,700
You got a girlfriend back home
tying ribbons around oak trees?
1830
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:54,900
No ball and chain for me.
1831
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:58,000
Can't get a date, huh?
1832
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:04,200
If you don't ask, I won't tell.
1833
01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:11,500
I always thought that was
a stupid ass policy.
1834
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:14,300
You know, it's ironic that
the army's extensive battery
1835
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:17,100
of psychological tests
has conclusively determined
1836
01:45:17,200 --> 01:45:19,000
that the person
they're most afraid of
1837
01:45:19,100 --> 01:45:20,600
is the best suited
to make the right choice
1838
01:45:20,700 --> 01:45:24,900
in this crisis.
So what are we looking at?
1839
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:26,600
Andromeda's chemical composition.
1840
01:45:26,700 --> 01:45:28,800
It's weird.
1841
01:45:28,900 --> 01:45:30,700
It's not carbon based.
It's sulfur based.
1842
01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:32,500
Sulfur?
1843
01:45:34,200 --> 01:45:35,500
Damn.
1844
01:45:35,600 --> 01:45:38,800
You're a long way
from home, little bug.
1845
01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:43,100
I owe you an apology.
1846
01:45:45,100 --> 01:45:47,800
Stanford.
I was a big girl, Jeremy.
1847
01:45:47,900 --> 01:45:50,600
I'm sure it wasn't the first time
1848
01:45:50,700 --> 01:45:53,000
That a researcher and his
associate became involved.
1849
01:45:53,100 --> 01:45:54,500
Well, it was for me.
1850
01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:57,300
Look.
1851
01:45:57,400 --> 01:46:00,100
I realize that's not popular
opinion, but it's the truth,
1852
01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:03,100
and if I really had the courage
of my convictions,
1853
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:05,900
instead of breaking
it off with you, I...
1854
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:08,500
I would have left Lisa instead.
1855
01:46:08,600 --> 01:46:10,400
The truth is,
1856
01:46:10,500 --> 01:46:14,000
I haven't ever really
stopped thinking about you.
1857
01:46:16,300 --> 01:46:17,900
Dr. Stone, Tsi here.
1858
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:20,900
I found something.
1859
01:46:26,700 --> 01:46:28,600
You're, like,
I don't-I don't know,
1860
01:46:28,700 --> 01:46:31,700
"Clan of the Bear Cave"
or something.
1861
01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:33,600
Cave bear.
1862
01:46:33,700 --> 01:46:35,500
Daryl Hannah is so hot,
1863
01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:37,000
but no.
1864
01:46:37,100 --> 01:46:38,700
"Quest for Fire."
1865
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:41,200
- Rae Dawn Chong
- Very hot.
1866
01:46:41,300 --> 01:46:43,300
- "Iceman."
- Cold.
1867
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:45,900
Ohh!
1868
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:47,600
I know, I know!
1869
01:46:47,700 --> 01:46:51,100
"One million Years B.C."
1870
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:54,500
Raquel Welch is smoking, though.
1871
01:46:54,600 --> 01:46:55,500
Oh, screw you.
1872
01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:59,100
Another clue?
1873
01:46:59,200 --> 01:47:03,200
Sparta!
1874
01:47:05,500 --> 01:47:08,300
Spartan women are so hot.
1875
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:09,500
We should go.
1876
01:47:09,600 --> 01:47:13,700
I gotta go.
1877
01:47:44,200 --> 01:47:46,300
Ow! Holy...
1878
01:48:13,300 --> 01:48:15,400
"Night of the Living Dead"?
1879
01:48:15,500 --> 01:48:16,700
"28 Days Later"?
1880
01:48:16,800 --> 01:48:19,700
"Planet Terror"?
1881
01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:22,300
"Pet Sematary"?
I mean-
1882
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:23,900
They're-they're not
classic zombies.
1883
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:25,800
I mean, they come-
1884
01:48:25,900 --> 01:48:28,200
they're dead, they come back,
but not classic
1885
01:48:28,300 --> 01:48:28,800
in, like, the traditional sense.
1886
01:48:28,900 --> 01:48:32,800
Gordo, that's not funny!
1887
01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:41,000
Gordo, what's wrong with you?
1888
01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:45,900
Ohh!
1889
01:48:53,900 --> 01:48:55,800
Here at the molecular level,
1890
01:48:55,900 --> 01:48:58,600
the black material is composed
of octahedral beads. Buckyballs.
1891
01:48:58,700 --> 01:49:01,400
Exactly, but notice
a slight variation in color.
1892
01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:02,300
Each molecule
has 60 carbon atoms,
1893
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:03,800
but some are bonded
with potassium,
1894
01:49:03,900 --> 01:49:07,200
while others are bonded
with rubidium,
1895
01:49:07,300 --> 01:49:09,800
- giving us this slight color variation.
- And why is that?
1896
01:49:09,900 --> 01:49:11,700
Why, indeed?
1897
01:49:11,800 --> 01:49:13,200
The differences between
potassium and rubidium
1898
01:49:13,300 --> 01:49:16,200
are negligible - neither offers
any advantage
1899
01:49:16,300 --> 01:49:19,700
in strength or conductivity,
so the question is,
1900
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:21,400
why would the designer
of this material
1901
01:49:21,500 --> 01:49:23,600
use two different elements?
1902
01:49:23,700 --> 01:49:25,100
It seems like an extraordinary
amount of work to go to
1903
01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:29,300
for no apparent good reason.
That's what I think.
1904
01:49:30,500 --> 01:49:32,600
Dr. Stone,
1905
01:49:32,700 --> 01:49:34,600
system reports completion
of assigned series.
1906
01:49:34,700 --> 01:49:37,000
We have a single positive encounter.
1907
01:49:37,100 --> 01:49:38,100
I was taking a shot in the dark
1908
01:49:38,200 --> 01:49:40,800
for potential Andromeda inhibitors,
1909
01:49:40,900 --> 01:49:43,900
but nothing seemed to work -
apparently until now.
1910
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:45,900
Let's see what we got.
1911
01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:51,100
This is x234.
Computer, show test.
1912
01:49:59,300 --> 01:50:00,800
My god, it's working.
What is that?
1913
01:50:00,900 --> 01:50:04,000
It's an experimental bacteriophage.
1914
01:50:04,100 --> 01:50:06,100
Computer,
1915
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:07,500
retest another sample
of Andromeda
1916
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:10,300
and display result.
1917
01:50:19,100 --> 01:50:21,500
- Was the first time an anomaly?
- You saw the recording.
1918
01:50:21,600 --> 01:50:24,300
Then Andromeda adapted
to the threat?
1919
01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:28,400
Tsi, this is a completely
different sample of Andromeda.
1920
01:50:28,500 --> 01:50:30,800
How is that possible?
1921
01:50:35,800 --> 01:50:38,800
Well, you have yourself a great
time in California, okay?
1922
01:50:38,900 --> 01:50:40,700
And you be careful.
If the pollsters are right,
1923
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:41,700
you're gonna be
in more danger than me.
1924
01:50:41,800 --> 01:50:43,200
And you, young lady,
you be a big girl
1925
01:50:43,300 --> 01:50:46,300
- and take care of your mommy for me.
- Okay.
1926
01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:48,100
Okay?
Give me a kiss.
1927
01:50:52,900 --> 01:50:54,900
Welcome, Mr. President.
1928
01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:56,300
I apologize. Our accommodations
are somewhat spartan.
1929
01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:59,300
General, I'm not here on
vacation. Bring me up to speed.
1930
01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:01,200
Andromeda has mutated again
1931
01:51:01,300 --> 01:51:03,100
and is now in the bird population.
1932
01:51:03,100 --> 01:51:05,000
We're killing everything
in the quarantined area.
1933
01:51:05,100 --> 01:51:08,000
The national guard reports,
uh, nine killed in action,
1934
01:51:08,100 --> 01:51:09,100
probably related
to Andromeda infection,
1935
01:51:09,200 --> 01:51:11,900
and the loss of one helicopter
and its crew
1936
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:13,400
due to mechanical failure.
1937
01:51:13,500 --> 01:51:15,300
We've also had an event
outside the quarantine zone
1938
01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:17,200
- That looks like Andromeda.
- How'd it get out there?
1939
01:51:17,300 --> 01:51:21,400
- We're not sure.
- I thought we had this thing boxed in.
1940
01:51:21,500 --> 01:51:24,600
So now Andromeda communicates?
1941
01:51:24,700 --> 01:51:26,400
- How else do you explain it?
- Contamination.
1942
01:51:26,500 --> 01:51:28,500
It wouldn't be the first time
1943
01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:29,500
the great Stone has made a mistake.
1944
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:32,400
I was there when he reran the tests -
1945
01:51:32,500 --> 01:51:33,800
the same results.
Time-out.
1946
01:51:33,900 --> 01:51:35,900
How about everybody take a breath, okay?
1947
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:38,300
What have we got here,
1948
01:51:38,400 --> 01:51:40,200
potentially?
1949
01:51:40,300 --> 01:51:42,100
An alien creature
1950
01:51:42,200 --> 01:51:43,300
that can be broken
into multiple parts
1951
01:51:43,400 --> 01:51:47,100
separated by space,
but somehow connected.
1952
01:51:47,200 --> 01:51:49,900
One part's still able to learn from the others.
1953
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:51,900
How might that work?
1954
01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:57,300
Maybe...
1955
01:51:59,300 --> 01:52:02,000
some property of light, harmonics
1956
01:52:02,100 --> 01:52:03,500
or, uh, radiation serves
1957
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:06,500
as a neural network.
1958
01:52:06,600 --> 01:52:08,500
It has a crystal-like structure.
1959
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:10,700
Crystals vibrate. they also
receive and bend light.
1960
01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:12,800
- Maybe-
- Maybe Andromeda
1961
01:52:12,900 --> 01:52:15,200
created a subtle energy field-
1962
01:52:15,300 --> 01:52:16,700
a harmonic field which links up
its disparate parts.
1963
01:52:16,800 --> 01:52:21,000
So we haven't just got
the killer bug of all time.
1964
01:52:21,100 --> 01:52:24,300
We have a bug that communicates
with itself over distance.
1965
01:52:24,400 --> 01:52:26,000
And learns from experience
1966
01:52:26,100 --> 01:52:28,100
and adapts quickly.
1967
01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:30,800
Remember, Andromeda was
initially lethal only to humans.
1968
01:52:30,900 --> 01:52:32,700
Then we isolated it-
thought we isolated it.
1969
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:34,900
But by that time, it had already
mutated and was jumping
1970
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:36,400
in and out of animal
populations and spreading.
1971
01:52:36,500 --> 01:52:38,000
Then we made the mistake
of trying to bomb it.
1972
01:52:38,100 --> 01:52:41,500
Then the third mutation-
a resin-eating variant
1973
01:52:41,600 --> 01:52:43,500
destroyed the airplane.
Now there's a fourth mutation
1974
01:52:43,600 --> 01:52:44,500
affecting birds,
which allows Andromeda
1975
01:52:44,600 --> 01:52:46,100
to spread further
and faster than before.
1976
01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:50,400
The president has joined us
here at northcom.
1977
01:52:50,500 --> 01:52:52,300
Mr. President.
1978
01:52:52,400 --> 01:52:54,900
Hello, Dr. Stone.
Please continue.
1979
01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:57,800
Uh, we are just discussing
the possibility that Andromeda
1980
01:52:57,900 --> 01:52:59,700
somehow may be capable
1981
01:52:59,800 --> 01:53:02,300
of communicating
with its disparate parts.
1982
01:53:02,300 --> 01:53:04,300
There is by no means a consensus
1983
01:53:04,400 --> 01:53:06,400
on this idea, Mr. President.
General Mancheck, does-
1984
01:53:06,500 --> 01:53:10,400
does Andromeda appear to be
spreading out unilaterally
1985
01:53:10,500 --> 01:53:12,800
or moving in one particular direction?
1986
01:53:12,900 --> 01:53:13,800
It's most concentrated in an area
1987
01:53:13,900 --> 01:53:16,600
just to the north of the blast zone
1988
01:53:16,700 --> 01:53:17,900
and appears to be moving
in a northwesterly direction.
1989
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:21,400
That's the direction
of the storm front, yes?
1990
01:53:21,500 --> 01:53:22,900
Yes, the same.
1991
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:25,300
Andromeda is being driven
by natural forces.
1992
01:53:25,400 --> 01:53:26,800
That is completely logical.
1993
01:53:26,900 --> 01:53:29,600
General, what prominent
features - geographic or man-made
1994
01:53:29,700 --> 01:53:32,000
would Andromeda encounter next?
1995
01:53:32,100 --> 01:53:35,000
The Henry river. The Henry river
flows into the Colorado river.
1996
01:53:35,100 --> 01:53:38,000
Millions of miles of watershed,
1997
01:53:38,100 --> 01:53:40,600
connecting waterways, rivers,
irrigation ditches.
1998
01:53:40,700 --> 01:53:43,100
Including Lake Mead, which puts
it within striking distance
1999
01:53:43,200 --> 01:53:45,600
- of Las Vegas.
- How many flights a day out of vegas?
2000
01:53:45,700 --> 01:53:47,100
Hundreds.
2001
01:53:47,200 --> 01:53:49,900
One international flight,
and Andromeda's worldwide.
2002
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:52,000
I'll expand the quarantine zone,
order an evacuation.
2003
01:53:52,100 --> 01:53:53,100
And shut down all airports
2004
01:53:53,200 --> 01:53:55,100
in the Vegas region.
2005
01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:58,400
This could be our only chance
to contain it.
2006
01:54:11,600 --> 01:54:14,100
All right, go up.
2007
01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:15,100
Come back, good.
Keep going.
2008
01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:17,400
Keep going.
All right, hold it.
2009
01:54:19,400 --> 01:54:21,300
Guards, move out!
2010
01:54:28,200 --> 01:54:32,200
- You okay, baby?
- I'm fine.
2011
01:54:32,300 --> 01:54:35,300
I just felt bad 'cause I forgot
to ask you about your mother.
2012
01:54:35,400 --> 01:54:37,700
- How's she doing?
- Mama? What-
2013
01:54:39,700 --> 01:54:42,400
Uh, yeah. She's, uh, she's
all right I guess, you know.
2014
01:54:42,500 --> 01:54:45,200
Same ol', same ol'.
2015
01:54:45,300 --> 01:54:48,200
Mm-Hmm.
Well, maybe you're right.
2016
01:54:48,300 --> 01:54:50,400
Maybe you should go see her.
Take the kids.
2017
01:54:50,500 --> 01:54:52,600
She'd love that.
2018
01:54:52,700 --> 01:54:54,300
Now be sure to give her my love.
2019
01:54:54,400 --> 01:54:57,600
What's goin' on, Charlene?
2020
01:55:02,300 --> 01:55:04,200
Nothin'.
2021
01:55:04,200 --> 01:55:06,100
Just bein' silly is all.
2022
01:55:06,200 --> 01:55:08,900
I gotta go now.
I got work to do.
2023
01:55:10,900 --> 01:55:13,000
I love you, baby.
2024
01:55:13,100 --> 01:55:14,800
I love you.
2025
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:22,300
Get out of there, Adrian.
We gotta go.
2026
01:56:17,600 --> 01:56:19,900
No... no!
2027
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:21,700
Accidents are the number one
cause of death
2028
01:56:21,800 --> 01:56:23,600
of people under 40.
2029
01:56:23,700 --> 01:56:25,000
Worse than heart attacks
or cancer.
2030
01:56:25,100 --> 01:56:28,100
It's the little things, you know,
2031
01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:30,200
the small stuff that people overlook.
2032
01:56:30,300 --> 01:56:33,600
- It's gonna kill you every time.
- Oh, stop scaring her, Annie.
2033
01:56:33,700 --> 01:56:36,800
- Is that sterno?
- A little hair of the dog.
2034
01:56:36,900 --> 01:56:37,800
It's poisonous.
And illegal.
2035
01:56:37,900 --> 01:56:40,900
So is homicide.
My head hurt.
2036
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:44,600
Take an aspirin next time.
Drinking sterno will kill you.
2037
01:56:44,700 --> 01:56:46,100
If you're so smart,
2038
01:56:46,200 --> 01:56:48,000
how come I'm still alive
and everyone else is dead?
2039
01:56:48,100 --> 01:56:50,000
Now who's trying to scare her?
2040
01:56:50,100 --> 01:56:52,100
Look.
Don't get me wrong.
2041
01:56:52,200 --> 01:56:53,900
I'd just as soon have
a big bowl of chili
2042
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:56,400
with a cold beer and a cigarette,
2043
01:56:56,500 --> 01:56:58,800
but choosers can't be beggars.
Beggars can't be choosers.
2044
01:56:58,900 --> 01:56:59,900
See? There's nothing
wrong with your hearing.
2045
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:03,800
You just don't listen so good.
Have an ulcer.
2046
01:57:03,800 --> 01:57:05,200
Ruby red.
I can't eat grapefruit.
2047
01:57:05,300 --> 01:57:07,600
It messes with my blood sugar.
2048
01:57:07,700 --> 01:57:14,900
You just don't listen so good.
2049
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:16,900
So what does a drunk
2050
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:18,800
who self-medicates
with sterno and aspirin
2051
01:57:18,900 --> 01:57:20,700
have in common with a baby?
2052
01:57:20,800 --> 01:57:22,700
I could not make sense
of it until I learned
2053
01:57:22,800 --> 01:57:24,600
that sheriff Willis was diabetic
2054
01:57:24,700 --> 01:57:27,500
and often suffered from acidosis.
And Tobler suffered acidosis
2055
01:57:27,600 --> 01:57:29,800
- from all the aspirin he was taking.
- Mm-hmm.
2056
01:57:29,900 --> 01:57:32,300
But it's not like the baby
was knocking back handfuls
2057
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:34,800
of acetylsalicylic acid.
No, but Tobler said she was always crying.
2058
01:57:34,900 --> 01:57:36,700
She was colicky.
2059
01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:37,700
If Sylvie breathed rapidly
long enough,
2060
01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:40,600
carbon dioxide would
build up in her system
2061
01:57:40,700 --> 01:57:42,600
and she would become acidotic.
2062
01:57:42,700 --> 01:57:44,500
So you're saying
they survived Andromeda
2063
01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:46,300
because they have the same level
of stomach acid.
2064
01:57:46,400 --> 01:57:47,700
That's brilliant.
2065
01:57:47,800 --> 01:57:49,300
Mr. Henderson,
I am very sorry to inform you
2066
01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:53,600
that while Jack Nash
was being evacuated
2067
01:57:53,700 --> 01:57:56,400
from guard headquarters,
the helicopter he was in
2068
01:57:56,500 --> 01:57:59,000
suffered mechanical failure
and went down.
2069
01:57:59,100 --> 01:58:01,800
- Jack's dead?
- I'm afraid so, sir.
2070
01:58:01,900 --> 01:58:04,800
I'm having a hard time
locating the next of kin.
2071
01:58:04,900 --> 01:58:07,000
Did Mr. Nash have
family or friends?
2072
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:11,100
Where are you calling from?
2073
01:58:11,200 --> 01:58:12,100
I'm gonna have to ask you again, sir.
2074
01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:15,800
Did jack Nash have family or friends?
2075
01:58:15,900 --> 01:58:19,100
What's your name?
Where are you calling from?
2076
01:58:28,200 --> 01:58:30,100
No, my friends,
2077
01:58:30,200 --> 01:58:32,700
not today.
2078
01:58:32,800 --> 01:58:34,400
Dinner is most definitely
2079
01:58:34,500 --> 01:58:36,400
not served!
2080
01:58:49,200 --> 01:58:52,100
Okay, um...
2081
01:58:52,200 --> 01:58:55,600
I don't know
how this works exactly,
2082
01:58:55,700 --> 01:58:57,100
but, uh...
2083
01:58:57,200 --> 01:58:59,500
I'm sorry.
2084
01:58:59,600 --> 01:59:01,400
I'll do better.
2085
01:59:01,500 --> 01:59:04,200
Uh, I'll-I'll be nice to people.
2086
01:59:04,200 --> 01:59:06,500
Please save my ass.
2087
01:59:06,600 --> 01:59:08,300
Amen.
2088
01:59:10,400 --> 01:59:13,600
Okay, how about this?
I'll never do drugs again -
2089
01:59:13,700 --> 01:59:15,800
Ever. I swear.
2090
01:59:15,900 --> 01:59:18,200
No drugs, no booze, no cigarette-
2091
01:59:18,300 --> 01:59:21,000
No drugs, no booze-
How about that?
2092
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:25,800
Yeah, same to you, pal.
2093
01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:39,300
I take it back.
2094
01:59:39,400 --> 01:59:42,300
Okay, I take it back.
2095
01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:45,100
Okay.
We've got a vulnerability.
2096
01:59:45,200 --> 01:59:48,000
Andromeda can only exist
within a very narrow range
2097
01:59:48,100 --> 01:59:50,100
of acidity and alkalinity.
2098
01:59:50,200 --> 01:59:52,100
It pretty much falls within
the parameters
2099
01:59:52,200 --> 01:59:54,400
of human tolerance - 7.5-7.0.
2100
01:59:54,500 --> 01:59:56,400
So anything we hit
Andromeda with
2101
01:59:56,500 --> 01:59:58,100
which is acidic
or basic enough to kill it
2102
01:59:58,200 --> 02:00:00,100
might also be lethal to humans.
2103
02:00:00,200 --> 02:00:01,800
And to make matters worse,
2104
02:00:01,900 --> 02:00:04,200
if our test results are correct,
whatever we attack with,
2105
02:00:04,300 --> 02:00:06,100
Andromeda will
eventually adjust.
2106
02:00:06,200 --> 02:00:08,000
We'd have to hit
every bit of the infection
2107
02:00:08,100 --> 02:00:09,500
virtually simultaneously to
prevent its adaptation.
2108
02:00:09,600 --> 02:00:12,400
Yeah. And disrupt its communicative
abilities at the same time.
2109
02:00:12,500 --> 02:00:14,500
You know, if you set out
2110
02:00:14,600 --> 02:00:15,600
to deliberately
exterminate mankind,
2111
02:00:15,700 --> 02:00:18,900
you couldn't do better
than Andromeda.
2112
02:00:31,700 --> 02:00:33,500
Hello?
2113
02:00:33,600 --> 02:00:36,100
- Get back! I mean it.
- Okay.
2114
02:00:36,200 --> 02:00:38,700
- What do you want?
- Well, first of all,
2115
02:00:38,800 --> 02:00:40,900
I want a glass of water
the size of a chevy,
2116
02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:42,600
but, uh, then I really need
to make a phone call.
2117
02:00:42,700 --> 02:00:44,600
Do-do you have a cell phone?
2118
02:00:44,700 --> 02:00:46,300
What happened to you?
2119
02:00:46,400 --> 02:00:48,500
Name's Jack Nash.
I'm a reporter with NNT.
2120
02:00:48,600 --> 02:00:49,700
You probably know my face.
2121
02:00:49,800 --> 02:00:52,400
- I just watch Colbert.
- Right.
2122
02:00:52,500 --> 02:00:54,100
"South park," sometimes.
2123
02:00:54,200 --> 02:00:57,100
Look. There was a helicopter
crash. I'm the only survivor.
2124
02:00:57,200 --> 02:00:59,500
I have some important
information I need to deliver,
2125
02:00:59,600 --> 02:01:01,600
and I really, really need
to make a phone call,
2126
02:01:01,700 --> 02:01:04,400
and- Need some help
with the tire?
2127
02:01:04,500 --> 02:01:06,600
Honestly, isn't that
getting a little heavy?
2128
02:01:18,600 --> 02:01:20,300
How long before this
Santa Anna condition
2129
02:01:20,400 --> 02:01:22,000
reaches the infected area,
2130
02:01:22,100 --> 02:01:24,900
and then how long after that
until it gets to Los Angeles?
2131
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:27,300
At the rate that it's moving,
it'll be at the edge
2132
02:01:27,400 --> 02:01:29,200
of the quarantine zone
in 24 hours,
2133
02:01:29,300 --> 02:01:30,500
which puts it about 200 miles from
Los Angeles.
2134
02:01:30,600 --> 02:01:31,300
Should we evacuate L.A. ?
2135
02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:33,900
Evacuate to where, Ed?
2136
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:36,700
Can you imagine
what it would be like
2137
02:01:36,800 --> 02:01:39,500
if we actually asked the entire
Los Angeles basin to leave?
2138
02:01:39,600 --> 02:01:40,800
Why should the United States
distract them?
2139
02:01:40,900 --> 02:01:44,700
Like the California gold rush,
we are looking
2140
02:01:44,800 --> 02:01:48,400
at a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity here... Mr. president,
2141
02:01:48,500 --> 02:01:51,200
we have a developing situation
in the mid-Atlantic.
2142
02:01:51,300 --> 02:01:52,800
The extremely radical
environmental group-
2143
02:01:52,900 --> 02:01:56,000
Ocean Saviors- has mounted
an armed assault
2144
02:01:56,100 --> 02:01:57,900
against our vent mining platform.
2145
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:00,100
This came on their web site
just moments ago.
2146
02:02:00,200 --> 02:02:02,000
At 5:47 this afternoon,
2147
02:02:02,100 --> 02:02:03,900
an Ocean Savior assault team
2148
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:06,800
seized control of vent mining
platform number one.
2149
02:02:06,900 --> 02:02:08,100
During the course of this action,
2150
02:02:08,200 --> 02:02:11,700
one of our brothers has died.
2151
02:02:11,800 --> 02:02:14,300
We were driven to this course
by the self-serving
2152
02:02:14,400 --> 02:02:16,200
greedy policies of president Scott
2153
02:02:16,300 --> 02:02:18,100
and his cabal of industrial apologists.
2154
02:02:18,200 --> 02:02:22,500
Ocean Savior says no to vent mining.
2155
02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:25,800
Ocean Savior says no
2156
02:02:25,900 --> 02:02:26,800
to the rape of the ocean.
2157
02:02:26,900 --> 02:02:29,600
We have taken hostages,
2158
02:02:29,700 --> 02:02:32,900
and we've now wired
the platform with explosives.
2159
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:35,000
Any attempt to interfere with us
2160
02:02:35,100 --> 02:02:38,100
will result in the most
serious consequences.
2161
02:02:38,200 --> 02:02:40,200
We will provide
a list of our demands
2162
02:02:40,300 --> 02:02:42,200
in our next communique.
2163
02:02:42,300 --> 02:02:43,800
the Navy has two frigates
and a submarine
2164
02:02:43,900 --> 02:02:47,900
in the vicinity,
plus a team of Navy seals.
2165
02:02:51,500 --> 02:02:53,200
Let's see what they want first.
2166
02:02:53,300 --> 02:02:57,300
Enough people have died today.
2167
02:02:57,400 --> 02:02:59,200
Besides, if we don't stop Andromeda,
2168
02:02:59,300 --> 02:03:01,400
it's not gonna much matter
anyway, will it?
2169
02:03:01,500 --> 02:03:03,600
That thing that Bill was saying
2170
02:03:03,700 --> 02:03:05,900
about disrupting Andromeda's
communicative abilities-
2171
02:03:05,900 --> 02:03:08,200
It got me thinking about
messenger theory again.
2172
02:03:08,300 --> 02:03:09,600
The idea that Andromeda might be
a coded message from the future.
2173
02:03:09,700 --> 02:03:11,900
You think its lethal qualities
are accidental, not intentional?
2174
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:16,900
No, no. I agree that Andromeda
was designed to kill humans.
2175
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:18,300
Now I realize
this is highly speculative,
2176
02:03:18,400 --> 02:03:20,500
but maybe the message,
if there is one,
2177
02:03:20,600 --> 02:03:23,000
is in the casing.
Maybe it is the casing.
2178
02:03:23,100 --> 02:03:26,700
Hmm. Now each molecule
of the black material
2179
02:03:26,800 --> 02:03:29,800
is cemented by one
of two bonding agents-
2180
02:03:29,900 --> 02:03:31,700
uh, potassium or rubidium.
2181
02:03:31,800 --> 02:03:33,700
They serve no structural purpose,
2182
02:03:33,800 --> 02:03:36,500
and alternate
in a seemingly random manner.
2183
02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:37,500
Why go to such trouble?
2184
02:03:37,600 --> 02:03:40,500
Is it random- two agents?
2185
02:03:40,600 --> 02:03:42,000
Why not three or four?
2186
02:03:42,100 --> 02:03:44,100
Because it's binary.
2187
02:03:44,200 --> 02:03:48,200
It's a binary code.
2188
02:03:48,300 --> 02:03:51,000
Each sequence is approximately
200 molecules long,
2189
02:03:51,100 --> 02:03:52,900
but if you look,
2190
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:56,000
there's a pattern
within the larger pattern.
2191
02:03:56,100 --> 02:03:58,700
Eight.
2192
02:03:58,800 --> 02:04:00,700
Patterns of eight.
2193
02:04:00,800 --> 02:04:02,600
In a typical binary computer code,
2194
02:04:02,700 --> 02:04:05,700
each 8-bit sequence
would stand for a letter.
2195
02:04:05,800 --> 02:04:08,700
Computer, treat molecular
sequence as binary code,
2196
02:04:08,800 --> 02:04:10,500
and search for key.
2197
02:04:12,200 --> 02:04:14,600
Why would our enemies
send us a message?
2198
02:04:14,700 --> 02:04:15,600
Well, maybe they didn't.
2199
02:04:15,700 --> 02:04:19,500
Maybe somebody else did.
2200
02:04:19,600 --> 02:04:22,300
Okay, I know this
is going to sound fantastic,
2201
02:04:22,400 --> 02:04:25,300
but let's say that Mancheck
wasn't lying about the wormhole,
2202
02:04:25,400 --> 02:04:28,100
and that, in fact,
it was the source of Andromeda-
2203
02:04:28,200 --> 02:04:31,000
wormholes as we understand them
are a theoretical connections
2204
02:04:31,100 --> 02:04:33,300
between distance and time, right?
2205
02:04:33,400 --> 02:04:35,100
What if Andromeda
was sent to us by our future?
2206
02:04:35,200 --> 02:04:38,500
Okay, I think somebody's
been working too hard
2207
02:04:38,600 --> 02:04:40,900
and drinking way too much coffee.
2208
02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:43,900
Why send something back that
could destroy your own past?
2209
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:46,700
It would be a move
of absolute desperation.
2210
02:04:46,800 --> 02:04:49,400
A wake-up call, a cry for help.
2211
02:04:49,500 --> 02:04:52,300
- They couldn't beat Andromeda.
- And we can?
2212
02:04:52,400 --> 02:04:55,200
Come on, future technology
must be superior to ours.
2213
02:04:55,300 --> 02:04:56,700
All right, maybe it's not
about technology.
2214
02:04:56,800 --> 02:05:01,000
Maybe they lack something
that we have-
2215
02:05:01,100 --> 02:05:04,000
That-that we still have.
Something to do with ph.
2216
02:05:04,100 --> 02:05:05,900
Resources-
2217
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:08,300
natural resources.
2218
02:05:08,300 --> 02:05:09,700
Something we used up or destroyed-
2219
02:05:09,800 --> 02:05:12,500
Some fossil fuels or some species
2220
02:05:12,600 --> 02:05:14,500
of plant or animal life
in the rain forest.
2221
02:05:14,600 --> 02:05:16,300
And the answer is...
2222
02:05:19,300 --> 02:05:21,200
okay, if I'm sending a message back
2223
02:05:21,300 --> 02:05:22,800
to some lab-coated geek
in the past, I'd keep it simple.
2224
02:05:22,900 --> 02:05:27,200
I'd use the basic American
computer code for documents,
2225
02:05:27,300 --> 02:05:29,600
and the Roman alphabet.
ASCII.
2226
02:05:29,700 --> 02:05:30,700
Computer, approach pattern
2227
02:05:30,800 --> 02:05:33,500
as ASCII code and translate.
2228
02:05:57,700 --> 02:05:59,800
What the hell is bacillus infernus?
2229
02:05:59,900 --> 02:06:00,800
Bacterium from hell.
2230
02:06:00,900 --> 02:06:05,200
What's that number?
2231
02:06:05,300 --> 02:06:08,000
I did some work on this once.
2232
02:06:08,100 --> 02:06:10,000
It-it's an extremely rare
member of the archaea genus,
2233
02:06:10,100 --> 02:06:12,100
found only one place on the planet-
2234
02:06:12,200 --> 02:06:14,500
At the bottom of the sea,
nearly 3 kilometers deep,
2235
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:15,400
next to thermal vents.
2236
02:06:15,500 --> 02:06:18,000
The bacterium thrive
2237
02:06:18,100 --> 02:06:20,400
under the most extreme
conditions imaginable,
2238
02:06:20,500 --> 02:06:22,500
including very acidic ph.
2239
02:06:22,600 --> 02:06:24,300
It practices chemosynthesis to survive.
2240
02:06:24,400 --> 02:06:26,200
In fact, its main food source
2241
02:06:26,300 --> 02:06:27,600
is the sulfur-based effluent
from the vents themselves.
2242
02:06:27,700 --> 02:06:32,700
The chemical composition
of Andromeda is based on sulfur.
2243
02:06:32,800 --> 02:06:33,700
I bet infernus looks
at Andromeda the same way
2244
02:06:33,800 --> 02:06:37,400
a pit bull would look
at a big, juicy steak.
2245
02:06:37,500 --> 02:06:39,400
The plan to mine those vents
of their mineral deposits
2246
02:06:39,500 --> 02:06:40,600
is gonna be very destructive.
2247
02:06:40,700 --> 02:06:42,400
It-it's a kind of
underwater strip-mining.
2248
02:06:42,500 --> 02:06:44,600
Maybe that's why they needed to
send a message from the future.
2249
02:06:44,700 --> 02:06:46,700
The bacteria no longer exist there,
2250
02:06:46,800 --> 02:06:47,600
because we
destroyed it.
2251
02:06:47,700 --> 02:06:49,500
We've set plenty of precedent for this kind of weapon.
2252
02:06:49,600 --> 02:06:51,500
We spray both mosquitoes
and gypsy moths
2253
02:06:51,600 --> 02:06:53,000
with lethal bacterium.
2254
02:06:53,100 --> 02:06:54,000
What about Andromeda's
ability to mutate?
2255
02:06:54,100 --> 02:06:56,800
That's the beauty
of this line of attack.
2256
02:06:56,900 --> 02:06:59,000
Andromeda can't change
its basic atomic composition,
2257
02:06:59,100 --> 02:07:01,000
which is sulfur based.
2258
02:07:01,100 --> 02:07:02,700
- You can run, but you can't hide.
- All right.
2259
02:07:02,800 --> 02:07:04,800
Does this bacterium have
any adverse effect on humans?
2260
02:07:04,900 --> 02:07:07,700
Nothing we could find.
So we spray infernus in the air, in the water-
2261
02:07:07,700 --> 02:07:10,200
Wherever Andromeda is,
and the bacteria consume it.
2262
02:07:10,300 --> 02:07:12,100
Hold on now. We're getting
ahead of ourselves.
2263
02:07:12,200 --> 02:07:14,500
It makes really good theoretical sense,
2264
02:07:14,600 --> 02:07:16,300
but we have to test it out.
2265
02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:19,200
Oh, this is horseshit!
I gotta go with Chuck on this, sir.
2266
02:07:19,300 --> 02:07:21,000
I mean, it's just too fantastic.
2267
02:07:21,100 --> 02:07:22,700
All right.
Dr. Stone, look.
2268
02:07:22,800 --> 02:07:24,600
I'm finding all this
a little difficult to accept.
2269
02:07:24,700 --> 02:07:26,200
Andromeda is a biological assault-
2270
02:07:26,300 --> 02:07:28,500
possibly a precursor
to an invasion,
2271
02:07:28,600 --> 02:07:30,400
but of the future?
2272
02:07:30,500 --> 02:07:33,300
And it was sent to us by them
for our help
2273
02:07:33,400 --> 02:07:36,700
because of this bacteria?
2274
02:07:36,800 --> 02:07:38,000
Mr. President, I-I recognize
how crazy it sounds,
2275
02:07:38,100 --> 02:07:42,600
but it explains everything
we know about Andromeda.
2276
02:07:42,700 --> 02:07:43,500
They sent it back, safely contained
2277
02:07:43,600 --> 02:07:45,000
Within the black material we found.
2278
02:07:45,100 --> 02:07:48,400
They could not have anticipated
2279
02:07:48,500 --> 02:07:49,500
its interception by the Scoop satellite
2280
02:07:49,600 --> 02:07:52,500
or its subsequent release
in Piedmont.
2281
02:07:52,600 --> 02:07:56,400
This is purely speculative.
There's nothing real here, sir.
2282
02:07:56,500 --> 02:07:58,300
How do you explain the binary
code then-coincidence?
2283
02:07:58,400 --> 02:08:00,000
It's a redundancy system-
2284
02:08:00,100 --> 02:08:01,000
standard operating procedure
in aeronautics.
2285
02:08:01,100 --> 02:08:02,500
Everything Nasa builds
is done that way.
2286
02:08:02,600 --> 02:08:05,900
They coded the solution
to Andromeda
2287
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:08,100
within the molecular
structure of the container.
2288
02:08:08,200 --> 02:08:10,000
If you analyze all the data
2289
02:08:10,100 --> 02:08:12,200
and the only explanation
that works is the improbable,
2290
02:08:12,300 --> 02:08:14,100
then the improbable
must be true.
2291
02:08:14,200 --> 02:08:16,900
- Oh, what is that - Confucius?
- Okay, gentlemen, gentlemen...
2292
02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:19,500
- Sherlock holmes.
- Now, Dr. Stone,
2293
02:08:19,600 --> 02:08:21,900
This string of numbers
that came with the message
2294
02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:24,500
and the nonsense that followed it -
what do you make of that?
2295
02:08:24,600 --> 02:08:26,800
The computer hasn't been
able to make any sense
2296
02:08:26,900 --> 02:08:29,900
of the number 739528, but it's
continuing to work at it.
2297
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:32,200
I- I know that's not
very helpful, sir.
2298
02:08:32,300 --> 02:08:34,800
Well, you don't do well
in my line of work
2299
02:08:34,900 --> 02:08:36,000
unless you're willing to roll
the dice once or twice.
2300
02:08:36,100 --> 02:08:39,800
Well, if they want my head,
they can have it later.
2301
02:08:39,900 --> 02:08:42,400
- What do you need, Dr. Stone?
- Samples of the bacterium, sir.
2302
02:08:42,500 --> 02:08:45,600
We need to test
it's lethality on Andromeda.
2303
02:08:45,700 --> 02:08:48,400
The lab I worked with
at U.C.L.A. still has samples.
2304
02:08:48,500 --> 02:08:50,400
I'll have it sent out
to wildfire right away.
2305
02:08:50,500 --> 02:08:53,200
I'll also have our biological
dispersal equipment standing by
2306
02:08:53,300 --> 02:08:54,600
the minute you give the
word. And, Dr. Stone,
2307
02:08:54,700 --> 02:08:56,800
if this doesn't work,
what's your plan "B"?
2308
02:08:56,900 --> 02:08:58,800
There is no other plan,
Mr. President. That is it.
2309
02:08:58,900 --> 02:09:01,200
All we can do now is work like hell
2310
02:09:01,300 --> 02:09:03,500
to get operational
and hope that Andromeda
2311
02:09:03,600 --> 02:09:06,400
doesn't pull yet another
adaptation out of the bag.
2312
02:09:11,900 --> 02:09:14,000
Hey, look at that!
2313
02:09:14,100 --> 02:09:16,900
What the? Hey, they're
comin' right at us!
2314
02:09:23,600 --> 02:09:25,100
What the-
Aah, get off me!
2315
02:09:31,200 --> 02:09:33,300
Aah!
2316
02:09:58,600 --> 02:10:00,700
Oh, my god!
Aah, aah!
2317
02:10:26,200 --> 02:10:28,800
You think Stone's bacterium
is the solution?
2318
02:10:28,900 --> 02:10:31,800
- Well, he seems to think so.
- That's not what I asked you.
2319
02:10:31,900 --> 02:10:34,000
- That's my answer.
- I need something done.
2320
02:10:34,100 --> 02:10:36,800
- What?
- Find out where Dr. Barton's family is.
2321
02:10:36,900 --> 02:10:39,300
Flight 82 to Honolulu
2322
02:10:39,400 --> 02:10:41,700
is now boarding at Gate Five.
2323
02:10:41,800 --> 02:10:44,600
Mr. Barton,
will you come with me, please?
2324
02:11:18,400 --> 02:11:21,400
Mr. Barton,
2325
02:11:21,500 --> 02:11:24,000
you and I need to have a conversation
2326
02:11:24,100 --> 02:11:26,300
about your wife.
2327
02:11:26,400 --> 02:11:27,300
We lost contact with one of our units
2328
02:11:27,400 --> 02:11:28,800
near the Henry river
a half-hour ago.
2329
02:11:28,900 --> 02:11:32,400
Predator overflight
reveals no survivors.
2330
02:11:32,500 --> 02:11:35,600
I think we have to assume that
quarantine has been breached.
2331
02:11:35,700 --> 02:11:37,600
Extend the ground patrols
in that area
2332
02:11:37,700 --> 02:11:40,800
and increase overflights.
Keep me posted as you make progress.
2333
02:11:40,900 --> 02:11:43,600
I can cut short your wife's trip
2334
02:11:43,700 --> 02:11:45,400
the minute you give word.
2335
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:51,200
We can have her on a plane
and out of danger
2336
02:11:51,300 --> 02:11:53,100
in under an hour.
2337
02:11:53,200 --> 02:11:55,500
What about all the other wives
and daughters
2338
02:11:55,600 --> 02:11:57,400
in Los Angeles, Pat?
2339
02:11:57,500 --> 02:12:00,300
- What are you gonna do for them?
- Well, I just thought-
2340
02:12:00,400 --> 02:12:03,800
Go on, leave me alone.
Go on, get outta here!
2341
02:12:06,800 --> 02:12:08,700
Okay, we're introducing
a very modest amount
2342
02:12:08,800 --> 02:12:10,600
of infernus to Andromeda.
2343
02:12:10,700 --> 02:12:12,100
Look at it go.
2344
02:12:12,200 --> 02:12:14,300
Yes! 2.3 seconds.
2345
02:12:14,400 --> 02:12:18,400
So we have a weapon.
2346
02:12:18,500 --> 02:12:21,000
How much of this bug do we need
to grow to make a difference?
2347
02:12:27,300 --> 02:12:28,300
Welcome to the nursery.
2348
02:12:28,400 --> 02:12:31,600
Biological breeder vessels.
2349
02:12:31,700 --> 02:12:33,500
State of the art.
2350
02:12:33,600 --> 02:12:36,500
Well, let's crank 'em up.
2351
02:12:36,600 --> 02:12:37,500
Andromeda is now
definitely in the watershed
2352
02:12:37,600 --> 02:12:41,300
of the Henry river,
and it's moving downstream.
2353
02:12:41,400 --> 02:12:43,400
The color blooms there-
2354
02:12:43,500 --> 02:12:47,100
massive aquatic die-offs.
2355
02:12:47,200 --> 02:12:50,400
- Evacuate the entire Lake Powell area.
- Yes, sir.
2356
02:13:00,400 --> 02:13:02,500
It works.
The bacterium works.
2357
02:13:02,600 --> 02:13:03,500
Excellent work, Dr. Stone.
2358
02:13:03,600 --> 02:13:06,300
We've started production
2359
02:13:06,400 --> 02:13:09,000
and should have usable
quantities within ten hours.
2360
02:13:09,100 --> 02:13:11,300
Ten hours is cutting it damn close.
2361
02:13:11,300 --> 02:13:13,000
How so? Andromeda had
developed another mutation
2362
02:13:13,100 --> 02:13:14,000
that attacks aquatic life,
and it's gotten
2363
02:13:14,100 --> 02:13:16,600
into the watershed
of the Colorado river.
2364
02:13:16,700 --> 02:13:19,000
At the rate it's moving,
it should be in Lake Powell
2365
02:13:19,100 --> 02:13:21,100
within 10, 11 hours.
2366
02:13:21,200 --> 02:13:23,300
- And the storm?
- It continues to pick up speed.
2367
02:13:23,400 --> 02:13:25,200
Let me know the minute
you're ready.
2368
02:13:25,300 --> 02:13:28,100
Priority call for Dr. Barton.
2369
02:13:31,000 --> 02:13:33,000
Charlene, honey.
2370
02:13:33,100 --> 02:13:35,400
- Sam?
- The kids all right?
2371
02:13:35,500 --> 02:13:37,200
Did you- did you
get to your mom's?
2372
02:13:37,300 --> 02:13:39,100
Something came up.
2373
02:13:39,200 --> 02:13:41,500
There's somebody who wants
to talk to you, Charlene,
2374
02:13:41,600 --> 02:13:44,300
and I want you to listen
to him, baby, okay?
2375
02:13:44,400 --> 02:13:46,300
Okay.
2376
02:13:49,900 --> 02:13:52,000
Dr. Barton,
2377
02:13:52,100 --> 02:13:53,400
in the interest
of your family's safety,
2378
02:13:53,500 --> 02:13:57,300
I suggest you listen to me
very carefully.
2379
02:14:17,800 --> 02:14:20,800
Computer, assemble the team
in the conference room.
2380
02:14:35,700 --> 02:14:37,600
Hey, you okay?
2381
02:14:37,700 --> 02:14:39,200
I'm fine.
2382
02:14:55,000 --> 02:14:57,900
We have all come to accept
the possibility
2383
02:14:58,000 --> 02:14:59,700
that it was a mutation of Andromeda
2384
02:14:59,800 --> 02:15:01,600
that brought down that jet,
2385
02:15:01,700 --> 02:15:04,400
but there is something
that's always bothered me-
2386
02:15:04,500 --> 02:15:07,200
The jet had been recalled,
2387
02:15:07,300 --> 02:15:09,400
its mission aborted,
2388
02:15:09,500 --> 02:15:12,200
and then Andromeda attacked it.
2389
02:15:12,200 --> 02:15:14,900
I think we might be
underestimating Andromeda.
2390
02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:16,800
Yes, we've discussed
2391
02:15:16,900 --> 02:15:18,800
its phenomenal rate of mutation,
2392
02:15:18,900 --> 02:15:21,100
We've-we've considered
the possibility
2393
02:15:21,200 --> 02:15:24,600
that it can communicate among
its physically separated parts,
2394
02:15:24,700 --> 02:15:27,800
but what if it knowingly
crashed the jet
2395
02:15:27,900 --> 02:15:30,700
in order to set off
the onboard nuclear device
2396
02:15:30,800 --> 02:15:33,500
and accelerate its own growth?
2397
02:15:33,600 --> 02:15:35,200
You're saying it thinks?
2398
02:15:35,300 --> 02:15:36,300
I'm saying we have
to consider the possibility
2399
02:15:36,400 --> 02:15:39,300
and act accordingly.
We could dose it now.
2400
02:15:39,400 --> 02:15:42,500
We probably have enough bacteria
to hit the hot spots.
2401
02:15:42,600 --> 02:15:45,400
No, I don't want to risk missing
some portion of Andromeda,
2402
02:15:45,500 --> 02:15:46,800
enabling it to regroup.
2403
02:15:46,900 --> 02:15:50,300
When we strike, it has to be
devastating, and to be safe,
2404
02:15:50,400 --> 02:15:52,200
I think we need to destroy
2405
02:15:52,300 --> 02:15:54,200
every last sample of Andromeda
in the lab right now.
2406
02:15:54,300 --> 02:15:57,000
You think Andromeda knows
2407
02:15:57,100 --> 02:16:00,000
or could know what
we're trying to do here?
2408
02:16:00,100 --> 02:16:03,800
I don't think we can take that chance.
2409
02:16:54,500 --> 02:16:57,800
I'm gonna go check
the breeder vessels.
2410
02:17:05,500 --> 02:17:08,100
Do you think the bacterium will work?
2411
02:17:08,200 --> 02:17:09,800
What?
2412
02:17:09,900 --> 02:17:12,800
Do you think the bacterium will work?
2413
02:17:12,800 --> 02:17:14,900
Uh, what else have we got?
2414
02:17:15,000 --> 02:17:17,500
I mean, they were damn clever,
2415
02:17:17,600 --> 02:17:19,800
Andromeda's creators.
2416
02:17:19,900 --> 02:17:22,900
It's a-it's a brilliantly
lethal construct,
2417
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:25,700
but we're-we're a resilient species.
2418
02:17:25,800 --> 02:17:27,000
Think of the imagination
those scientists had
2419
02:17:27,100 --> 02:17:31,100
to figure out what they
needed and send for it
2420
02:17:31,200 --> 02:17:33,200
in the past.
2421
02:17:33,300 --> 02:17:35,200
You know what's truly ironic
2422
02:17:35,300 --> 02:17:37,600
is that what may end up
saving mankind
2423
02:17:37,700 --> 02:17:39,500
at the pinnacle of creation
2424
02:17:39,600 --> 02:17:40,800
is this very simple
primitive bacterium
2425
02:17:40,900 --> 02:17:44,200
from the slime on the bottom
of the ocean,
2426
02:17:44,300 --> 02:17:47,300
the creature that we were
prepared to obliterate
2427
02:17:47,400 --> 02:17:52,500
with-
without a moment's thought.
2428
02:17:52,600 --> 02:17:53,800
There's a profound lesson
in humility there, I think.
2429
02:17:53,900 --> 02:17:57,000
Not usually your strong suit.
2430
02:17:57,100 --> 02:17:58,500
I'm workin' on it.
2431
02:17:58,600 --> 02:18:00,100
Yeah.
2432
02:18:14,300 --> 02:18:16,700
Jeremy,
come to the conference room.
2433
02:18:16,800 --> 02:18:18,200
It's urgent.
2434
02:18:27,900 --> 02:18:29,200
What is it?
2435
02:18:29,300 --> 02:18:31,300
It's not numbers or letters.
2436
02:18:31,400 --> 02:18:32,600
It's an image,
a design of some kind.
2437
02:18:32,700 --> 02:18:36,300
That's why it took
so long to process.
2438
02:18:36,400 --> 02:18:37,600
What is that?
2439
02:18:37,700 --> 02:18:39,600
I've never seen anything like it.
2440
02:18:39,700 --> 02:18:40,800
It's not scientific.
2441
02:18:40,900 --> 02:18:43,900
Religious, maybe?
2442
02:18:47,800 --> 02:18:49,500
I don't know.
2443
02:18:53,900 --> 02:18:55,500
Let's go!
2444
02:18:55,600 --> 02:18:59,100
Clear the line.
Clear the line.
2445
02:19:01,600 --> 02:19:03,400
Let's get up!
2446
02:19:03,500 --> 02:19:08,100
Saddle up, boys.
2447
02:19:08,200 --> 02:19:09,900
We're good to go, lieutenant!
2448
02:19:23,400 --> 02:19:27,200
That weather system
is picking up speed, sir.
2449
02:19:27,300 --> 02:19:29,100
If this doesn't work,
2450
02:19:29,200 --> 02:19:32,000
Andromeda will hit Los Angeles
in less than five hours.
2451
02:19:35,500 --> 02:19:37,300
Also, our, uh, strike teams
2452
02:19:37,400 --> 02:19:38,600
are in position near
the mining platform
2453
02:19:38,700 --> 02:19:42,200
waiting for your word to go in, sir.
2454
02:19:46,000 --> 02:19:48,800
Is there anything you'd like me to do?
2455
02:19:51,700 --> 02:19:54,000
Are you a religious man, Chuck?
2456
02:19:54,100 --> 02:19:55,700
Sir?
2457
02:19:55,800 --> 02:19:59,400
I don't mean every four years.
I mean-
2458
02:19:59,500 --> 02:20:01,400
I mean, do you have faith?
2459
02:20:05,300 --> 02:20:07,000
Yes, sir.
2460
02:20:08,900 --> 02:20:10,900
Well, then you can pray.
2461
02:20:24,700 --> 02:20:26,600
Hey.
2462
02:20:28,500 --> 02:20:30,800
Howdy.
2463
02:20:32,500 --> 02:20:33,200
Oh.
2464
02:20:33,300 --> 02:20:35,400
Nice.
2465
02:20:35,500 --> 02:20:37,800
Yeah, it's real pretty,
2466
02:20:37,900 --> 02:20:40,200
but, uh, mind if I try
your cell phone again?
2467
02:20:40,300 --> 02:20:42,000
Don't you ever just relax?
2468
02:20:42,100 --> 02:20:46,700
No. I don't really.
I should.
2469
02:20:46,800 --> 02:20:49,500
Go ahead, but the reception's
not gonna be any better
2470
02:20:49,600 --> 02:20:51,000
than it was last night.
2471
02:20:51,100 --> 02:20:53,400
Well, my luck's changing.
I can feel it.
2472
02:20:59,000 --> 02:21:01,900
I see two people-
one male, one female.
2473
02:21:09,000 --> 02:21:10,500
Breakfast.
2474
02:21:12,300 --> 02:21:14,500
I really would like to,
2475
02:21:14,600 --> 02:21:15,900
But, um, I can't.
2476
02:21:16,000 --> 02:21:20,000
I made a promise.
2477
02:21:20,100 --> 02:21:22,200
I know that sounds lame,
2478
02:21:22,300 --> 02:21:24,400
but there it is.
2479
02:21:39,600 --> 02:21:43,200
Jack, what's going on out there?
2480
02:22:01,600 --> 02:22:03,700
Time to go.
2481
02:22:13,500 --> 02:22:15,600
Why was he shooting at us?
2482
02:22:15,700 --> 02:22:19,100
Not us, me.
They're shooting at me.
2483
02:22:22,100 --> 02:22:25,500
Jeremy, we have got a lot
of product down here,
2484
02:22:25,600 --> 02:22:27,700
and it's all screamin',
"feed me."
2485
02:22:31,200 --> 02:22:33,100
Urgent message for Dr. Stone.
2486
02:22:33,200 --> 02:22:34,800
Go for Dr. Stone.
2487
02:22:34,900 --> 02:22:36,000
Dr. Stone, we should
have out helos
2488
02:22:36,100 --> 02:22:38,900
to your facility within minutes.
2489
02:22:39,000 --> 02:22:40,400
You gonna be ready?
2490
02:22:40,500 --> 02:22:42,800
Good to go.
That storm front's closing in fast.
2491
02:22:42,900 --> 02:22:44,600
We've got less than an hour.
2492
02:22:48,900 --> 02:22:50,800
Oh, terrific.
2493
02:22:50,900 --> 02:22:52,600
What?
2494
02:22:58,400 --> 02:23:00,900
Must have hit a rock.
Do you carry any oil?
2495
02:23:01,000 --> 02:23:04,000
No. Maybe. I don't know.
Why were they shooting at us?
2496
02:23:04,100 --> 02:23:05,900
Because I know things,
or they think I do.
2497
02:23:06,000 --> 02:23:08,300
That's why I need
to make that call.
2498
02:23:32,600 --> 02:23:34,700
General,
2499
02:23:34,800 --> 02:23:36,900
just wanted to say
good luck.
2500
02:23:37,000 --> 02:23:38,300
You did a great job, doctor,
you and your whole team.
2501
02:23:38,400 --> 02:23:42,500
You know, when this is over,
I'm going to raise hell.
2502
02:23:42,600 --> 02:23:44,900
Not that you have any reason
to believe me,
2503
02:23:45,000 --> 02:23:47,700
but for what it's worth, you're
preachin' to the converted.
2504
02:23:47,800 --> 02:23:49,600
Although,
if this doesn't work,
2505
02:23:49,700 --> 02:23:52,100
what you and I think isn't gonna
make a damn bit of difference.
2506
02:24:16,700 --> 02:24:18,400
Can we go faster?
2507
02:24:18,500 --> 02:24:20,800
We're losing too much oil.
We have to dump this thing.
2508
02:24:20,900 --> 02:24:22,700
Do you have any kind
of a weapon in here-
2509
02:24:22,800 --> 02:24:25,300
- a gun, a knife, a slingshot?
- No.
2510
02:24:25,400 --> 02:24:27,200
Check the glove box.
2511
02:24:27,300 --> 02:24:29,200
A can opener?
2512
02:24:29,300 --> 02:24:31,800
Great. We'll buy 'em a beer.
2513
02:24:37,400 --> 02:24:40,000
Ten minutes to the area
of infection.
2514
02:25:03,400 --> 02:25:05,700
All right, spread out and disperse.
2515
02:25:05,800 --> 02:25:08,100
Cover the entire surrounding
area. Cover it all.
2516
02:25:10,700 --> 02:25:11,600
Stand by.
This is it.
2517
02:25:11,700 --> 02:25:15,000
Let's kill this bastard.
2518
02:25:25,100 --> 02:25:28,000
Wildfire is infected.
2519
02:25:28,100 --> 02:25:31,500
Wildfire lab is now initiating
lockdown procedures
2520
02:25:31,600 --> 02:25:33,300
and beginning countdown to auto
self-destruct.
2521
02:25:33,400 --> 02:25:34,000
What's happening?
2522
02:25:34,100 --> 02:25:36,500
15 minutes and counting.
2523
02:25:38,500 --> 02:25:41,000
What the hell is that?
2524
02:25:41,100 --> 02:25:42,100
There has been a breach
in containment
2525
02:25:42,200 --> 02:25:45,800
in the sample vault.
2526
02:25:46,700 --> 02:25:50,800
Computer, give me
the sample vault.
2527
02:25:58,400 --> 02:26:01,400
What's going on, Charlene?
What's happening?
2528
02:26:03,100 --> 02:26:05,000
Charlene, we're on our way.
2529
02:26:11,900 --> 02:26:14,900
Tsi, what is it?
Turn him on his side.
2530
02:26:15,000 --> 02:26:16,500
- Is it Andromeda?
- No, it's a gran mal seizure.
2531
02:26:16,600 --> 02:26:17,500
Did you know he was epileptic?
2532
02:26:17,600 --> 02:26:19,200
The fail-safe panel is ruined.
2533
02:26:19,300 --> 02:26:20,300
I can't shut down the self-
destruct sequence from here.
2534
02:26:20,400 --> 02:26:22,800
Where's the next closest
control panel?
2535
02:26:22,900 --> 02:26:23,700
One level up.
2536
02:26:23,800 --> 02:26:26,200
But you can't use the elevators.
Every level is sealed off.
2537
02:26:26,300 --> 02:26:28,500
- How do I get up there?
- You can't. That's the point.
2538
02:26:28,600 --> 02:26:30,500
Hold him steady.
2539
02:26:30,600 --> 02:26:32,200
Hold him steady.
2540
02:26:32,300 --> 02:26:34,800
Computer, show all
the mechanical conduits
2541
02:26:34,900 --> 02:26:36,900
into the central
maintenance shaft.
2542
02:26:37,000 --> 02:26:38,900
Break in and climb up.
That's a brilliant idea.
2543
02:26:39,000 --> 02:26:40,500
I'll check on Barton.
2544
02:26:56,900 --> 02:26:58,300
Charlene, what happened?
2545
02:26:58,400 --> 02:27:00,000
I-
2546
02:27:00,100 --> 02:27:02,900
I need you to talk to me.
Talk to me or I can't help you.
2547
02:27:03,000 --> 02:27:05,500
I- I-I don't-
I don't-
2548
02:27:05,600 --> 02:27:07,000
I don't know.
2549
02:27:07,100 --> 02:27:09,400
There's a sample in one
of the containment boxes.
2550
02:27:09,500 --> 02:27:11,500
Why didn't you destroy all of them?
2551
02:27:11,600 --> 02:27:12,800
They've got Sam and my kids.
2552
02:27:12,900 --> 02:27:16,500
They wanted to save a sample,
2553
02:27:16,500 --> 02:27:19,200
and then the seal started
to disintegrate,
2554
02:27:19,300 --> 02:27:21,100
and the alarm went off.
2555
02:27:21,200 --> 02:27:23,500
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
2556
02:27:23,600 --> 02:27:25,500
All right, take-take it easy.
Slow down.
2557
02:27:25,600 --> 02:27:27,400
How are you feeling?
2558
02:27:27,500 --> 02:27:30,700
How the hell do you think I feel?
2559
02:27:40,000 --> 02:27:43,600
Wildfire lab will self-destruct
in 11 minutes.
2560
02:27:47,300 --> 02:27:49,600
General, how do we shut down
2561
02:27:49,700 --> 02:27:52,500
the auto-destruct sequence?
Is there anything we can do?
2562
02:27:52,600 --> 02:27:54,400
No, there's nothin' we can do, sir.
2563
02:27:54,500 --> 02:27:55,700
In the event of a security
breach, the lab was set up
2564
02:27:55,800 --> 02:27:58,700
to follow an automatic
sequence of self-destruction.
2565
02:27:58,800 --> 02:28:01,100
Only the designated odd man
can stop it.
2566
02:28:01,200 --> 02:28:03,000
Well, General, if that
nuclear device explodes,
2567
02:28:03,100 --> 02:28:04,000
then none of what
you and your team
2568
02:28:04,100 --> 02:28:06,500
are doin' right now will matter.
2569
02:28:06,600 --> 02:28:08,900
Andromeda will be spread over a huge
area. We will never be able to contain it.
2570
02:28:10,600 --> 02:28:13,400
Listen to me. If you had been
exposed to a lethal strain,
2571
02:28:13,500 --> 02:28:15,300
you'd be dead by now.
2572
02:28:15,400 --> 02:28:17,500
Are you-are you
symptomatic at all?
2573
02:28:17,600 --> 02:28:19,200
I'm breathing rapidly.
2574
02:28:19,300 --> 02:28:21,400
Maybe that's what's keeping it at bay.
2575
02:28:21,500 --> 02:28:23,100
Get me the hell outta here!
2576
02:28:23,200 --> 02:28:24,400
Charlene, you have
to calm down, okay?
2577
02:28:24,500 --> 02:28:26,300
I promise we'll get you out of there,
2578
02:28:26,400 --> 02:28:28,500
But you need to listen to Jeremy.
2579
02:28:28,600 --> 02:28:33,100
Forget about me.
I'll be fine.
2580
02:28:33,200 --> 02:28:35,000
Go shut it off.
2581
02:28:35,100 --> 02:28:37,000
Go.
2582
02:28:41,800 --> 02:28:43,900
You had a seizure.
Have you had them before?
2583
02:28:44,000 --> 02:28:47,300
The lights. That's bad.
2584
02:28:47,400 --> 02:28:49,900
The light set it off.
We have a breach of containment.
2585
02:28:50,000 --> 02:28:51,900
Charlene is trapped
in the sample vault.
2586
02:28:52,000 --> 02:28:53,600
We have to fix the contamination.
2587
02:28:53,700 --> 02:28:54,900
You have to rest.
2588
02:28:55,000 --> 02:28:57,300
We fix it or we'll die.
2589
02:29:19,000 --> 02:29:21,300
Get out, Leila. Run!
2590
02:29:21,400 --> 02:29:22,200
What about
you?
2591
02:29:22,300 --> 02:29:24,500
Run! Just get the hell outta here. Go!
2592
02:29:24,600 --> 02:29:26,100
Shut the door!
Shut the door!
2593
02:29:41,500 --> 02:29:44,500
You're wasting your time.
I've already called this in.
2594
02:29:44,600 --> 02:29:46,400
The police will be
on their way any minute.
2595
02:29:46,500 --> 02:29:49,500
Aah!
2596
02:30:17,100 --> 02:30:19,900
Angela, follow up progress
on the monitor.
2597
02:30:20,000 --> 02:30:22,300
Help us get to the next level.
2598
02:30:22,400 --> 02:30:24,000
Ten minutes and counting.
2599
02:30:39,400 --> 02:30:40,800
Jeremy, you okay?
2600
02:30:40,900 --> 02:30:44,300
Not wild about heights.
2601
02:30:44,400 --> 02:30:46,900
Don't look down.
Stare straight ahead.
2602
02:31:07,000 --> 02:31:08,500
These joints are compromised.
2603
02:31:08,600 --> 02:31:12,900
And the pipes are deteriorating.
2604
02:31:20,100 --> 02:31:22,600
Ohh!
2605
02:31:22,700 --> 02:31:24,400
Give me your hand.
2606
02:31:27,700 --> 02:31:30,400
Come on, Bill, you can make it.
Give me your hand.
2607
02:31:30,500 --> 02:31:33,200
Just reach out.
Give me your hand.
2608
02:31:33,300 --> 02:31:35,100
Then we're both gonna fall.
2609
02:31:35,200 --> 02:31:38,000
Just do it. Give me your hand.
We need you.
2610
02:31:38,100 --> 02:31:40,600
Ahh! You need this!
2611
02:31:58,500 --> 02:32:02,400
Oh.
2612
02:32:02,500 --> 02:32:06,300
Angela- Angela,
I have the key.
2613
02:32:06,400 --> 02:32:08,200
It won't do you any good.
2614
02:32:08,300 --> 02:32:10,900
The system will only recognize
Keene's thumbprint.
2615
02:32:22,500 --> 02:32:23,600
Tsi, what are you doing?
2616
02:32:23,700 --> 02:32:27,900
We're out of options.
2617
02:32:59,500 --> 02:33:01,800
Four minutes and counting.
2618
02:33:22,700 --> 02:33:26,100
Jeremy.
2619
02:33:30,200 --> 02:33:31,500
Ohh!
2620
02:33:46,000 --> 02:33:47,000
Three minutes and counting.
2621
02:33:47,100 --> 02:33:48,400
I need your help, Angela.
2622
02:33:48,500 --> 02:33:51,800
I don't know where I'm going.
2623
02:33:55,400 --> 02:33:56,800
Angela, you copy me?
2624
02:33:58,800 --> 02:34:00,600
Move 6 feet up
2625
02:34:00,700 --> 02:34:01,600
And 3 feet to your right.
2626
02:34:01,700 --> 02:34:04,500
There's a - what looks to be
2627
02:34:04,600 --> 02:34:06,900
a large heating/cooling conduit
2628
02:34:07,000 --> 02:34:09,700
that might work.
2629
02:34:09,800 --> 02:34:11,500
I see it!
2630
02:34:13,900 --> 02:34:15,600
Oh!
2631
02:34:18,400 --> 02:34:20,400
Aah!
2632
02:34:38,300 --> 02:34:41,500
I can't see.
2633
02:34:45,800 --> 02:34:49,300
Everything's falling apart.
2634
02:34:49,400 --> 02:34:50,600
Aah!
2635
02:34:52,500 --> 02:34:55,800
Two minutes and counting.
2636
02:35:11,500 --> 02:35:13,400
Any word from the wildfire facility?
2637
02:35:13,500 --> 02:35:14,900
Nothing, sir.
2638
02:35:15,000 --> 02:35:18,800
The self-destruct sequence
is still activated.
2639
02:35:18,800 --> 02:35:20,500
Jeremy, are you okay?
2640
02:35:23,200 --> 02:35:24,800
Which way?
2641
02:35:24,900 --> 02:35:29,400
The panel is behind you, 15 feet.
2642
02:35:50,100 --> 02:35:52,500
It's right above you now.
2643
02:36:00,000 --> 02:36:03,700
A little higher.
2644
02:36:10,600 --> 02:36:13,400
Reach up with your right hand.
2645
02:36:16,200 --> 02:36:19,200
There.
2646
02:36:19,300 --> 02:36:21,200
One minute and counting.
2647
02:36:33,500 --> 02:36:37,800
A little bit to your left.
2648
02:36:37,900 --> 02:36:39,400
Find the slot.
2649
02:36:42,000 --> 02:36:43,800
Welcome, Dr. Keene.
2650
02:36:43,900 --> 02:36:46,200
To cancel auto destruct,
2651
02:36:46,300 --> 02:36:49,000
please place your right thumb
on the flashing button.
2652
02:36:49,100 --> 02:36:50,800
30 seconds and counting.
2653
02:36:56,900 --> 02:36:57,800
Jeremy.
2654
02:36:57,900 --> 02:36:59,100
All right.
2655
02:36:59,200 --> 02:37:09,500
20 seconds.
2656
02:37:09,600 --> 02:37:11,000
A little bit to your left.
2657
02:37:11,100 --> 02:37:13,000
Ten, nine, eight...
2658
02:37:13,100 --> 02:37:17,400
Auto destruct canceled.
2659
02:37:28,900 --> 02:37:31,100
You have gotta be kidding me.
2660
02:37:31,200 --> 02:37:33,300
A signal.
2661
02:37:37,800 --> 02:37:39,700
Machine.
2662
02:37:39,800 --> 02:37:41,400
Charlie, it's Nash.
2663
02:37:41,500 --> 02:37:43,200
Listen. Somebody brought
bio-collecting equipment
2664
02:37:43,300 --> 02:37:44,600
to the national guard headquarters.
2665
02:37:44,700 --> 02:37:47,000
I think they're trying
to sample the contagion.
2666
02:37:47,100 --> 02:37:49,400
Look for a D.C. Colonel
named Ferrus. He's the link.
2667
02:37:49,500 --> 02:37:52,200
He also tried to kill me... twice.
2668
02:37:52,300 --> 02:37:55,300
And, uh, that's it.
2669
02:38:03,300 --> 02:38:04,100
Hey. Hey!
2670
02:38:04,200 --> 02:38:07,800
Hey! Hey!
2671
02:38:07,900 --> 02:38:10,400
Over here! Over here!
2672
02:38:10,500 --> 02:38:12,300
Over here!
Hey!
2673
02:38:12,400 --> 02:38:13,700
No!
2674
02:38:15,600 --> 02:38:18,000
Well, it's been that kind of day.
2675
02:38:19,900 --> 02:38:20,900
Let's go.
2676
02:38:21,000 --> 02:38:22,100
You okay?
2677
02:38:22,200 --> 02:38:25,500
Yeah.
2678
02:38:25,600 --> 02:38:29,200
Didn't think sobriety
was gonna be this painful.
2679
02:38:29,300 --> 02:38:31,300
Sorry about your car.
2680
02:38:31,400 --> 02:38:34,300
Are you kidding?
2681
02:38:34,400 --> 02:38:36,900
That was amazing what you did.
2682
02:38:37,000 --> 02:38:39,100
Yeah, well...
2683
02:38:39,200 --> 02:38:42,600
I have my moments.
2684
02:38:42,700 --> 02:38:43,300
That's it.
2685
02:38:43,400 --> 02:38:47,100
We got it!
2686
02:38:47,200 --> 02:38:49,000
Whoo!
2687
02:38:49,100 --> 02:38:50,800
We got it!
2688
02:38:54,900 --> 02:38:57,900
Son of a bitch!
2689
02:38:59,900 --> 02:39:03,000
today, America mourns
the loss of two citizens
2690
02:39:03,100 --> 02:39:05,300
who made the ultimate sacrifice
for their country-
2691
02:39:05,400 --> 02:39:11,500
Dr. William Keene, U.S. Army, and
Dr. Tsi Chou, a brilliant scientist
2692
02:39:11,600 --> 02:39:13,400
who immigrated to this country
2693
02:39:13,500 --> 02:39:15,800
in a much-celebrated case
some ten years ago.
2694
02:39:15,900 --> 02:39:18,400
Standing to president Scott's
right is Dr. Jeremy Stone
2695
02:39:18,500 --> 02:39:20,800
who headed wildfire
and his surviving teammates...
2696
02:39:20,800 --> 02:39:22,200
Hey, there's dad.
2697
02:39:22,300 --> 02:39:24,600
Dr. Angela Noyce
and Dr. Charlene Barton.
2698
02:39:24,700 --> 02:39:26,500
God, he looks terrible.
2699
02:39:26,600 --> 02:39:28,900
Only a few details
are presently available
2700
02:39:29,000 --> 02:39:31,300
from what remains a highly
classified operation...
2701
02:39:31,400 --> 02:39:32,800
Hero of the day.
2702
02:39:32,900 --> 02:39:34,700
Apparently, a leak developed
in a small...
2703
02:39:34,800 --> 02:39:37,300
He did good, okay?
I mean, yeah, he's not perfect,
2704
02:39:37,400 --> 02:39:38,400
but he deserves credit
for what he did.
2705
02:39:38,500 --> 02:39:39,900
...in a remote area
of southern Utah.
2706
02:39:40,000 --> 02:39:43,300
Fortunately,
the leak was contained,
2707
02:39:43,400 --> 02:39:44,600
although not without the loss
of two key researchers.
2708
02:39:44,700 --> 02:39:48,100
The senate subcommittee
chairman on homeland security
2709
02:39:48,200 --> 02:39:50,000
is pledging
a thorough investigation
2710
02:39:50,100 --> 02:39:52,700
and already demanding details
from the administration.
2711
02:39:55,300 --> 02:39:57,400
Seems a little dramatic,
don't you think?
2712
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:02,400
Every bit of data confirms
the same observation.
2713
02:40:02,500 --> 02:40:03,500
The Andromeda infection
is dead.
2714
02:40:03,600 --> 02:40:06,100
Nothing survived your assault.
2715
02:40:08,000 --> 02:40:09,900
It's an extraordinary
achievement, sir,
2716
02:40:10,000 --> 02:40:11,400
A real heroic victory.
2717
02:40:11,500 --> 02:40:14,000
You think that's how
our part in all this
2718
02:40:14,100 --> 02:40:16,000
is gonna be remembered,
as heroes?
2719
02:40:16,100 --> 02:40:17,500
Well, I think we might
have made some mistakes,
2720
02:40:17,600 --> 02:40:21,800
but we came through in the end.
Some mistakes.
2721
02:40:21,900 --> 02:40:24,400
I think the desire to assign
blame in Project Scoop
2722
02:40:24,500 --> 02:40:26,300
will be, uh, mitigated,
as it always is,
2723
02:40:26,400 --> 02:40:27,200
by the fear
of public embarrassment
2724
02:40:27,300 --> 02:40:28,500
at the highest levels
of government.
2725
02:40:28,600 --> 02:40:30,200
We didn't just screw up,
Colonel.
2726
02:40:30,300 --> 02:40:32,000
We very nearly lost everything,
2727
02:40:32,100 --> 02:40:36,300
And not just once-
several times.
2728
02:40:38,300 --> 02:40:40,400
Why did you blackmail
Dr. Barton
2729
02:40:40,500 --> 02:40:43,600
to try and salvage
a sample of Andromeda?
2730
02:40:43,700 --> 02:40:47,300
I don't-I have no idea
what you're talking about.
2731
02:40:47,400 --> 02:40:48,400
Well, maybe I should
get on the phone
2732
02:40:48,500 --> 02:40:50,800
to Chuck Beeter
over at the N.S.A.
2733
02:40:50,900 --> 02:40:52,300
and ask him
where that sample is.
2734
02:40:52,400 --> 02:40:58,900
I know what you
sons of bitches did.
2735
02:40:59,000 --> 02:41:02,200
There needn't be any losers
in this scenario, general.
2736
02:41:02,300 --> 02:41:04,200
Aside from
the American people?
2737
02:41:09,800 --> 02:41:13,600
Your kind of honor
is a bit outdated, sir.
2738
02:41:13,700 --> 02:41:16,500
I'm not gonna fall on my sword
for you or anybody else.
2739
02:41:16,600 --> 02:41:20,200
No. I didn't think so.
2740
02:41:22,900 --> 02:41:26,100
What?
2741
02:41:28,100 --> 02:41:30,400
Jesus! What the hell you doin'?
Not with me here!
2742
02:41:46,900 --> 02:41:48,300
Thank you, lord,
2743
02:41:48,400 --> 02:41:50,200
for the honor and the privilege
2744
02:41:50,300 --> 02:41:52,700
we have had to know these
two extraordinary men...
2745
02:41:52,800 --> 02:41:54,600
I had no idea about Project Scoop
2746
02:41:54,700 --> 02:41:56,700
or any black-bag operations
connected with it
2747
02:41:56,800 --> 02:41:57,800
that may or may not
have been running.
2748
02:41:57,900 --> 02:41:59,800
Well, you may
not have known,
2749
02:41:59,900 --> 02:42:03,000
but there were those in
your administration that did.
2750
02:42:03,100 --> 02:42:05,200
It might be a good idea
2751
02:42:05,300 --> 02:42:06,400
to tell the American people
really what happened
2752
02:42:06,500 --> 02:42:09,500
and permanently shut down
the vent mining project.
2753
02:42:11,700 --> 02:42:16,200
I don't know what
you think you have,
2754
02:42:16,300 --> 02:42:18,600
but I don't see it that way.
2755
02:42:21,400 --> 02:42:23,500
Well, if you'll excuse me,
mr. President,
2756
02:42:23,600 --> 02:42:26,300
I have an interview to do.
2757
02:42:26,400 --> 02:42:29,900
I'm very sorry for your loss.
He was a brave man.
2758
02:42:30,000 --> 02:42:30,300
Yes.
2759
02:42:31,400 --> 02:42:34,100
Our technology and our science
saved us in the end, yes,
2760
02:42:34,200 --> 02:42:36,700
but it was our arrogant
misuse of both
2761
02:42:36,800 --> 02:42:38,200
that got us into this trouble
in the first place.
2762
02:42:38,300 --> 02:42:39,200
Science is and always has been
2763
02:42:39,300 --> 02:42:41,700
about the search for the truth,
2764
02:42:41,800 --> 02:42:43,600
and that search can
really only take place
2765
02:42:43,700 --> 02:42:45,500
in the full light of day.
2766
02:42:45,600 --> 02:42:48,200
I think, um, I think one
of the lessons learned here
2767
02:42:48,300 --> 02:42:49,100
is that just because
we have acquired
2768
02:42:49,200 --> 02:42:50,600
a technological
or scientific capability
2769
02:42:50,700 --> 02:42:54,200
doesn't mean we should
rush out to use it.
2770
02:42:54,300 --> 02:42:56,800
Would vent mining prove
to be incredibly lucrative?
2771
02:42:56,900 --> 02:42:58,500
Maybe, but considering
what's just happened,
2772
02:42:58,600 --> 02:43:01,000
I think the question
needs to be asked.
2773
02:43:01,100 --> 02:43:03,500
Would it be worth it?
Would you care to speculate
2774
02:43:03,600 --> 02:43:04,500
about the original source
of the virus,
2775
02:43:04,600 --> 02:43:06,000
and if Andromeda was
a biological weapon,
2776
02:43:06,100 --> 02:43:09,100
how do you think its
creators would respond
2777
02:43:09,200 --> 02:43:11,100
to what you've done?
2778
02:43:11,200 --> 02:43:12,500
I have no idea.
2779
02:43:12,600 --> 02:43:15,200
We would seem to have been
successful in the short run,
2780
02:43:15,300 --> 02:43:17,500
but it's probably fair
to say, whoever it is,
2781
02:43:17,600 --> 02:43:19,900
we've gotten their attention.
2782
02:43:20,000 --> 02:43:22,800
What happens next
is anybody's guess.
