All language subtitles for For.All.Mankind.S02E10.WEB.x264-PHOENiX[eztv.re]

It's all just a cycle.

Panama does one thing, Reagan does
another, Soviets do something else,

and then Reagan's got to respond

so that he shows the public
he's standing his ground.

Honestly, at this point,
I just tune the whole thing out.

Flight.

Jamestown is showing
a depressurization event.

That can't be right. Raise Rossi.

Jamestown, come in.

Jamestown, do you read?

What's going on?

Pressure issue on Jamestown.

Jamestown, we're showing readings
of a depressurization event.

Ops/Comm cabin pressure is
less than one PSI. Do you copy?

-Jamestown, do you--
-Jamestown here.

We've been having some issues
with our sensors.

Think we've finally got it under control.

Ops/Comm pressure is returning to normal.

Just a faulty sensor.

Copy that, Jamestown.
Thanks for the clarification.

Okay. No problem, Houston.

Good.

They are not aware of the situation.

Locked.

Leave this hallway depressurized
to protect our flank.

We want they release
Rolan Baranov. Where is he?

Like I said, I don't know.

Like I said, you help us…

I would. I just don't know.

-You will help us.
-Wait.

I'm just tryin' to--

Wait--

Skipper?

Yeah?

It's your turn to get some shut-eye.

No. I'm okay.

Sir, you haven't slept since TLI.

How far are we away
from the blockade line?

Two hours, 15.

Where's Buran?

Already in low lunar orbit. On course to
intercept us when we cross the blockade.

Give me updated numbers for LOIT
and delta-V total.

You okay, sir?

Not if you keep
looking at me like that, I'm not.

You get back to work, Mr. Piscotty.

Yes, sir.

What's the latest with Apollo-Soyuz?

The Soviets are asking for more time
before docking. Again.

We can't just keep orbiting ad infinitum
while they get their act together.

What are they saying
the holdup is this time?

No official reason was given.

Sergei said they need more time
before docking. That's all.

Which is what they've been saying
for the past five hours.

I know. I know.

But I still think this can work.

I don't know why they don't just admit
it's to do with the lunar blockade.

Save us all some time.

What's the latest with that? Have we
crossed the blockade line yet? Is Buran…

Margo, you know I can't get into
the details. It's a classified operation.

How are we supposed to make
informed decisions

without knowing what's
really going on in there?

I--

I'm sorry. I wish I could, but…

Just making friends
left and right, Wilson.

Speaking of which, you want to
give Apollo the bad news, Bill?

Apollo, that's a no-go
on the coplanar rendezvous burn.

Star City's still dragging their feet.

We'll give you an update
as soon as we have one,

but that's another orbit on deck.

-Sorry, guys.
-Copy that, Houston.

Damn it.

Hurry up and wait, huh?

Guess it's one more trip around the world.

It's really depressurized out there.

What the hell is going on?

Maybe a meteorite hit the base.

Maybe, but no one's responding
on the comm. It's like they all vanished.

Not everyone.

Try to get their attention.
Let them know we're--

Get down.

Jesus, Gordo, what the fuck is going on?

I don't know.

Jamestown Base, this is your commander.

I am being held by the Soviets.

They have not harmed me.

They are offering an exchange, me for
their fellow cosmonaut, Rolan Baranov.

Don't do it. Don't do it--

We must do what they say.

No. Not a chance.

Isn't this at least worth discussing?

No. There's nothing to discuss.

The president has given this man asylum,
and we are not giving him back.

Seriously?

They'll kill Rossi. We are outmanned.
Two of your marines aren't even here.

They're still guarding
that stupid goddamn claim site.

You really think
we can take them at their word?

They get him back,
they'll probably just kill Rossi anyway.

They won't leave… until they have me.

Then we make 'em leave.

Wow, this place is impressive.

It's not too shabby, huh?

It's nothing compared to what Trace
and Ed wake up to every morning, but…

Well, for us earthlings,
it's really something.

-Morning, Mr. Cleveland.
-Morning.

Hey, do you…

Do you ever worry about Ed
when he's up there?

Of course.

You know,
I just try not to think about it.

We all find ways to manage.

Pot really helps.

I bet.

You don't have anything to worry about,
though. Tracy is as tough as they come.

Yeah.

Tell me. What is the next big move
for Karen Baldwin?

'Cause you're about to make yourself
a nice chunk of change.

I'm not too sure.

We're just right on in here.

Okay.

If you're having second thoughts,
we can stop right here.

I don't want you to do anything
you're uncomfortable with.

No…

It's okay. I'm ready.

Right this way then.

Houston,
approaching lunar orbit insertion.

Copy that, Pathfinder.

We're about to cross the blockade point.

Entering orbit in five, four,

three, two, one.

Pathfinder, Houston.
We show you in lunar orbit.

Any sign of Buran?

Negative.
They're not showing up on our radar.

Where the hell are they?

Houston, we have no radar contact
with Buran.

Pathfinder, wait one while
we check with Goddard for an update.

Houston, any sign of Buran?

Buran has crossed
to the far side of the moon.

We can't track their orbit
until they reemerge.

-They were bluffing.
-You don't know that.

There's still over two hours

till we're able to deliver
Sea Dragon's cargo to the lunar surface.

Come on.

Our badass nuclear-powered space fighter
scared those Russkies back to their cave.

All right. Sally's not wrong.
Let's stay vigilant here.

You were warned not to cross the blockade.

Now, Yuri, you're being unreasonable.

We were quite firm, Ronald.
Sea Dragon cannot enter lunar orbit.

Well, we were very clear

the United States
does not recognize your blockade.

It is not a blockade.

It is a quarantine
against offensive weapons.

There are no weapons on Sea Dragon, Yuri.

And it is provocative actions like this
that lead--

The US was first
to shoot a gun on the moon.

The first to kill someone on the moon.

If the US fires on Buran,

we will have no choice
but to respond in a substantial way.

The Soviet Northern Fleet
off the coast of Panama

has 30 targets in the southern US.

If Buran is destroyed,
we will have no choice but to strike back.

You know our missiles in Western Europe--

Our position is clear.

Further signs
of escalation in the Atlantic today,

as the Russian Northern Fleet
has taken offensive positions

off the Central American coast.

US carriers have been deployed
in the Gulf of Mexico

as people across the nation
begin to stockpile supplies

in anticipation of an all-out conflict,

causing runs on everything
from bottled water to toilet paper.

We must again delay the docking,
I'm afraid.

Why?

All I can say is that we need more time.
You must hear me.

That's not good enough, Sergei.

Every time we're supposed to dock,
you come up with another delay.

And we both know
what this is really about.

I'm sorry, Margo.

Best I can do is to give you our
state vector for next docking opportunity.

Fine, go ahead.

07 853

58… 72.

Thank you, Margo.

He's so full of shit.

If this is a lost cause,
I want to bring our people home.

Every trip around the Earth increases
the chances that something will go wrong.

I hate to say it, but she's right.
Takes two to handshake.

Ellen, we've gone through too much
to just give up on this now.

Up until a month ago, you thought
this whole thing was a waste of time.

Yeah, well, a month ago
we weren't on the brink of war.

This is what Tom was talkin' about.

Just give me one more orbit.

Ninety minutes. And then they come home.

Five minutes to the coplanar burn
and docking initiation, Apollo.

Copy that, Houston.

Strausser, tell 'em they won't be docking.

Russkies are kicking the can again.

One more time around.
After that, we're pulling the plug.

Just like that?
No, everyone has worked so hard.

You can't just say
it's over like it's nothing.

Bill, who is this?
Why is she speaking to me?

She apologizes.

-No, I don't.
-Yes, you do.

I like this one.

Apollo, some news over here.

Unfortunately we're gonna need
for you to proceed with another orbit.

The docking with Soyuz
has been delayed again.

We didn't come all this way just to wave
at each other through the window.

I hear you, Apollo, I do.

Going off VOX, Houston.

Copy.

Raise the Soyuz.

Soyuz, Apollo? Do you read? Soyuz, Apollo?

Soyuz, copy.

What are you guys doin' over there?

Comrade Orlov continues
to struggle with space adaptation.

-Still puking his guts out, huh?
-Yeah.

Is not joke.

I'm starting to get the feeling this
handshake isn't gonna happen, Stepan.

Yes. I also have this feeling.

Guess it was stupid to think they'd ever
go through with this in the first place.

At least we got a nice view.

-Hello?
-Sergei?

I'm sorry for this diversion.

I could not speak openly
over normal channels.

I understand, but I'm puttin' myself
on the line over here

keeping this docking alive,

and every time I do,
you pull the rug out from under me.

You need to come clean with me,
Sergei, right--

I'm sorry, Margo.
I'm doing the best I can.

That's not good enough.

You need to tell me what's really
goin' on. I can't do this by myself.

We are having avionics issues.

Avionics?

You're sayin' this is a technical problem?

Yes.

I don't believe you.
Why didn't you say this earlier?

If I were to admit to United States
that Soyuz were malfunctioning,

Andropov would cancel docking.
I know this.

-Please, Margo, please.
-Please deposit 50 cents…

You must give me more time.

We have almost resolved the problem.
You must trust me.

I trusted you once before, and you guys
sent an armed Buran to the moon.

Pathfinder is also armed, is it not?

That's not the point, Sergei.
You took advantage--

No, Margo. I'm like you. On the outside,
trying to do the best I can.

One orbit, that's all I can manage.

Margo--

Morning, Miss Madison.

The United States and Soviet Union

have postponed
the expected handshake yet again.

No word yet as to when--

And what I'm hearing now
from sources in the Pentagon

is the canal standoff is very much linked
to Sea Dragon…

There's nothin' on Jamestown.

It's all Apollo-Soyuz
or this blockade crap.

-You check CBS?
-I checked them all.

You know, last time I was up here…

all we had was six tapes
of Bob Newhart to keep us company.

Bob Newhart?

We watched 'em so many times,
damn near memorized the whole thing.

When the Betamax broke,
we even used to act them out.

Really?

-Even Ed?
-Yeah. Yeah.

Course, he only ever played Bob.

Of course.

Yeah, didn't have much else to do.

And those days just stretched out forever.

Yeah.

You know the only thing
I really looked forward to?

Was fighting with you on that damn thing.

Yeah, we always had fire.

Yeah, we did.

Hey, there was this old S-Band
directional antenna.

Linked us to JSC.

You know how to
sweet-talk a girl, don't you?

Yeah. It's just when
Ops/Comm went operational,

they routed all base communications
through the new high-gain antenna.

It's more bandwidth and all, but…

But maybe the old antenna still works.

There's only one way to find out.

Hub's fully depressurized.

Covering right.

Webster,
you see them move, radio immediately.

Lopez. On me.

Clear.

Okay, stay alert.

When we round the corner, I'll cover.

You set the breaching charges
on the Ops/Comm hatch.

Copy that.

Goddamn it.

I should have lost a few more pounds.

You're doing great, Gordo. Keep goin'.

Wait.

I think I see it.

Yeah, think I got it.

Yeah.

Oh, man.

Okay.

That should be it.

Fuck.

What?

What is it?

Shit.

-Trace?
-Cavalry's here.

Thank God.

I can see Vance.

I'm not sure who's with him, but--

Vance! Damn it,
they can't hear me. Vance!

I'll be a son of a bitch. Look who it is.

America's sweetheart.

Lopez.

Put eyes on that hatch.
Don't get famous.

Aye, aye, skip.

Oh, my God. Vance.

Vance!

Vance!

Vance! Vance! Come on!

Russian! Turn--

Vance? Vance, come in.

Vance is down. Jesus.

I'm hit.

How bad is it?

I'm okay, I think.
But my suit's losing pressure.

He shot him.

He just… shot him.

-There was nothing I could do. He just--
-Pressure up.

Hang on. I'm gonna repressurize.

Flight.

-Pressure again?
-No.

This is real weird.

The nuclear reactor's primary
coolant pump has shut down.

Have they radioed down for assistance?

Negative. Rossi said that there
was gonna be a communication hold

for an hour or two
while they worked on some maintenance.

Override the hold
and get Rossi on the line.

We need to make sure
this isn't what it looks like.

Jamestown, this is Houston.

Did you command an emergency shutdown
of the primary reactor coolant loop?

Jamestown?

Come in, Jamestown.

A lot going on here, Margo.
What do you need?

We've got a problem at Jamestown.

The primary coolant loop
for the nuclear reactor has shut down.

What does Al Rossi think?

Jamestown is not responding to comms.

Not responding?

Radio silence.

Christ.

Could this be related to the defector?

It may be a diversionary tactic
by the Russians.

Whatever it is,

there's a backup loop that should
compensate in cooling the reactor, so--

It might not be that simple.

What do you mean?

There's a second reactor.

What?

Now, this is above
your security clearance,

but the Pentagon used last month's
Sea Dragon payload as cover

to bring a second reactor
to Jamestown to…

Produce weapons-grade plutonium.

Now, that reactor is hooked up
to the same primary coolant system,

but due to national security priorities,

we had to bring it online before
it was connected to the backup loop.

Which means there's no fail-safe.

It'll go into full meltdown.

Forget for a moment

just how nonsensical it is to have
nuclear weapons on the moon at all,

but to keep this a secret
from the very people

who are in charge of the safety
of that base, of this agency--

Margo, this was a top-secret program
run through the Pentagon.

I'm the director of JSC, goddamn it.

Look, even if we wanted to tell you--

We? You knew about this?

-At the time--
-Don't waste your breath, Ellen.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I've got your nuclear meltdown to prevent!

Margo. Margo.

Houston, this is--
Houston. Do you read?

Houston, this is…

Do you read?

Houston, this is Jamestown One.
Do you read?

This is Jamestown. Can you hear?

Do you read?

Hello?

Houston, do you read?

Houston, do you read?

Tracy.

Hi.

We've been stuck in the galley
since it started,

and they're keeping the area just outside
the module depressurized.

Have you been in
communication with anyone?

Negative. They shut down the comms,
and we don't have any suits in here.

What is it? What's going on?

The nuclear reactor's control computer
has gone off-line.

The reactor is overheating and fast.

-In approximately 45 minutes…
-Jesus.

…it will cause a massive nuclear
meltdown, killing everyone on the base

and rendering Shackleton
uninhabitable for a thousand years.

Jesus Christ.

Okay. What can we do?

The backup coolant loop has its own
control computer that is functioning.

Normally, we'd just have you
switch it over in Ops/Comm.

Shit.

HAB SYS says that it's possible
to swap out

the cable connectors from the backup
computer to the primary loop.

You're talking about hot-wiring
a nuclear reactor here?

Pretty much.

All right. So what are we waiting for?

The cable connectors
are outside of Ops/Comm.

So, without suits,
there is no way for you to reach them.

So what are we supposed to do?

Are we just supposed to sit here
until the whole thing blows?

How far are those cables from us?

About 25 meters.

I think I can get to 'em.

-What?
-What?

I can cover 25 meters
in less than 10 seconds.

Hell you can.

-I started jogging again.
-No--

Jogging? We're talking about running on
the surface of the moon without a suit on.

Are you out of your goddamn mind?

Gordo, I appreciate the--

It's just-- It's not a possibility.

Well, maybe it could be. Technically.

I mean, he'd have 15 seconds
before he lost consciousness.

If we could jury-rig some sort of
protection for him against the vacuum,

maybe we could do this.

Y'all know what's in the galley.

Help me make as close to a suit
as I can get.

All we know is there's
been an attack on Jamestown

with multiple casualties.

I put every one of them
up on that base.

Gordo, Tracy.

Helena Webster…

Is she okay?

We don't have an accurate picture yet.

Why would they attack Jamestown?
Is this because of the blockade?

It's unclear.

It could be an effort to recapture
the defector or part of a broader plan.

Does it matter? They attacked
'cause they smelled weakness.

Trying to take the moon for themselves,

just like they did with Eastern Europe
and Southeast Asia.

I guarantee you this lunar blockade
is part of it.

Exactly.
And we're fighting on multiple fronts now,

and you're our last line
of defense up there.

-Has Buran come out from hiding yet?
-We expected them to reemerge

from the far side of the moon by now,
but we haven't seen them yet.

-They're back there waiting for us.
-It looks that way.

They must have slowed their speed.
They're probably in an elliptical orbit.

Why would they do that?

We'll be isolated.
Unable to communicate with Houston.

Sir, if we're to encounter them
while we're back there?

Ellen just got word from the White House.

Your orders stand. If you are to--

-We're losing you, sir.
-Nearing Loss of Signal.

Fifteen seconds till we cross over
to the far side of the moon.

I'll keep it simple.
Protect Sea Dragon at all costs.

-Yes, sir.
-Approaching Loss of Signal.

Godspeed, Pathfinder.

As the astronauts
and cosmonauts of Apollo-Soyuz

await their handshake in space,

tensions between the two countries
here on Earth

remain at heights not seen in two decades,

all the way back
to the Cuban missile crisis.

The long-simmering conflict seems to be
on the verge of turning

from what has come to be
known as a cold war

into something much more dangerous.

Across the nation, people are growing
increasingly concerned

about the events of the past several days.

Musician and activist John Lennon
drew tens of thousands…

Hi, Kel.

…to his concert for peace
at Madison Square Garden, saying, quote…

Why are we closed?

Because the bar isn't ours anymore.

What do you mean?

I sold it this morning.
I just signed the paperwork.

Seriously?

Yeah, it all happened very fast.
But I sold it.

Why?

I got a really great offer, and it…

I don't know,
just felt like the right time.

Cheers.

Wow.

I'm gonna miss it.

I'm not.

So what are you gonna do now?

I don't know.

I don't have any idea. I've got nothing.

And it feels damn good.

I can't really picture you
sitting on the couch,

eating ice cream and watching TV all day.

Okay, well, that's not gonna happen.

I don't know.

Maybe I'll travel. Go to India.
I've always wanted to see the elephants.

Or maybe I'll go back to college.

Mom.

What?

For what?

Well, you know, a master's
in business is very useful.

And where would you go?

I was thinking William & Mary.

Are you and Dad getting a divorce?

What? Kelly, that's not--

I saw you guys fighting in the driveway,
and William & Mary is in Virginia.

And you're talking about all these plans,
and none of them seem to involve Dad.

Okay, Kelly, your father went
back to space. I'm just trying to figure--

What is that?

It sounds like an air raid siren.
I'm sure that it's just a drill.

Everything's gonna be okay, all right?
And I don't--

This is a message
from the Emergency Broadcast System.

In the wake of events
in the Gulf of Mexico…

-That doesn't seem like a drill.
-Let's head downstairs, okay? Come on.

This is not a drill.

In the wake of events
in the Gulf of Mexico…

He will have about 15 seconds total

to reach these cable connectors here,
swap them out…

Then reboot the computer
with this switch here

and get back to the air lock
before he loses consciousness.

Best we have, people.
So we gotta work with it.

We're at DEFCON 2.

The Soviet fleet off the coast of Panama
is threatening the southern United States.

Nelson thinks there could be up
to ten nukes targeting Houston alone.

Christ. It's all falling apart, isn't it?

All right, everyone, listen up.

The doors to the bomb shelters
are at the rear of building 30.

Anyone who wants to should go now.

Okay.

Turn that thing off. Let's keep going.

George, Alicia, get me the list
of every item in the Jamestown galley.

Sedgey, help me figure out how to use
that stuff to make a counterpressure suit.

-We gotta do what we can to protect Gordo.
-Yes, ma'am.

-Margo, we have--
-I know. I know.

We have to call off Apollo-Soyuz.

Bill, raise Apollo.

Tell them it's time to come home,

and calculate their reentry
at the next window.

Yes, ma'am.

Sorry, Dani. We'll get you your
reentry protocols in the next few minutes.

That was a waste of time and money.

Soyuz, this is Apollo. Come in.

This is Apollo. Come in.

Stepan, it's Dani. Have you heard?

Yes. I have.

You know, my husband Clayton
used to say…

"When people tell you
who they are, listen."

I don't understand.

I guess what I'm saying is…

I am tired of pretending I can't hear it.

Tired of being used.

Being told to smile,
keep quiet, be patient.

We'll get to you next time around.

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

No, I'm happy
with Soviet space program.

Come on.

I know you don't like this
any more than I do.

At least Laika got to do her mission.

Danielle, what are you saying?

What are they gonna do to us?

We are a hundred miles above Earth,
floating around in these two old tin cans.

Don't you want to just go for it?

And now look for the stowed oxygen
masks that have the full face covering.

And you gotta grab
all the rolls of duct tape you can find.

What's that for?

You're gonna wrap yourself in it.

Seriously?

Beats aluminum foil.
That was the first idea.

Now, you are gonna wrap every
single inch that you can see of your skin.

Every single inch.
Because anything that is exposed

is gonna balloon up
the second you set foot on the surface.

It's also close to
200 degrees Fahrenheit out there,

which is gonna cause
the adhesive of that tape to melt.

So, you know, move your ass.

Yeah. Got it.

And remember, you gotta
breathe out all the air in your lungs,

or they will burst.

So you will have just 15 seconds
before you pass out.

Gordo?

If you want to change your mind,
I am sure they will understand.

No. I'm good.

-'Cause once you're out there, there's--
-Yeah. Thanks, Mol.

I don't know
if we're gonna have enough.

-There's plenty.
-Not for both of us.

-Trace, you're not--
-The hell I'm not, Gordo.

This is too important. You don't
pull this off, and everyone up here dies.

American, Russian, all of us.

Look, maybe if you only had to
swap the cable, you could make it back,

but there is no way you can do this
and reach that power switch.

It's suicide, and you know it.

But if we both go,
we have a shot at making it back.

But if we don't. Danny, Jimmy.

Don't you dare make me tell our boys
their daddy didn't have to die.

Trace.

End of discussion, Gordo.

We can do this. Together.

Let's go.

Sources inside the White House

tell us the president has boarded
Air Force One as a precautionary measure

and is currently somewhere over the US.

Civil defense authorities have advised
the public to remain in fallout shelters

or places of safety until further--

I need to tell you something.

But you can't get mad.

Okay.

I went to see my birth father.

What?

When?

I didn't even know that you could.
How? I don't--

He has a restaurant in Arlington.

And I wrote to the orphanage in Vietnam
and… found out he immigrated here.

I'm surprised.

You never told me that you wanted
to meet him. I would've--

I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys.

I wasn't sure how or if I even could.

Especially Dad.

Yeah.

And I didn't want you guys to think that--

No. No, no. It's okay.

It's perfectly normal to be curious.

Tell me.

What was he like?

I didn't even talk to him.

I couldn't. I just stood there,
waiting for…

something.

I'm not even sure what, like a connection.

But…

I was just another customer.

And he has his own life, his own family.

And so do I.

Yeah.

-That's weird.
-…your ship.

We're getting a transmission from Houston.

-Repeat.
-That's not Houston.

You are in violation of Space Treaty.

If Sea Dragon does not immediately
return to Earth,

we will be forced to fire on your ship.

Where are they?

Radar shows 11:00 high, 3,000 kilometers.

Jesus, they're closing in fast.

How long till Sea Dragon
is within their missile range?

Just over five minutes.

Mr. Piscotty, open the payload bay doors.

Apollo, Houston.

Your pitch will be minus 49.3 degrees.

Deorbit burn will begin
in T-minus five minutes.

Negative, Houston.

Come back, Apollo. Didn't read you.

You did.

We are going to proceed
with the docking maneuver.

Apollo, you've been ordered to initiate
atmospheric entry in five minutes.

And I am telling you
it ain't happening.

-Flight?
-What's going on?

Commander Poole,

you have been given a direct order
to commence reentry procedure.

And I am choosing to ignore it.

Now, I suggest you all begin
docking procedures down there

if you don't want us to crash
into each other on national television.

She doesn't know everything
that's going on. Maybe if we tell her--

I don't give a rat's ass what she knows.
She's been given an order.

Guess this is what happens when astronauts
get away with disobeying orders.

Tell her she can proceed.

What?

I thought the president
canceled the docking.

He did. But I speak
for the president in this room,

and I think one good thing
should happen on this shitty day.

Okay. Tell them
to begin the docking procedure.

Yes, ma'am.

-Is this for real?
-It's about to be.

Go ahead.

Seriously? You want… me to tell them?

Apollo, Houston.

You are go for docking.

Get him out of here!
They're coming through!

You look fucking ridiculous.

Take a look in the mirror.

Kidding me? I make this suit sing.

I love you, Trace.

Yeah, I love you too, Gordo.

Air lock is open.

They have 15 seconds.

They should've reached it by now.

Wait, the reactor's stabilizing.

It's taking too long.

Hello, Apollo.

So nice to see you again, my friend.

The pleasure's all mine.

Reactor has stabilized.

The air lock has repressurized.

They made it back.

The president wants the Sixth Fleet
to be ready

if the Soviets launch, all right?

Mr. President, we may
have to do something forceful.

Yes.

Mr. President, sir. Take a look at the TV.

-Ma'am.
-Thank you.

This is Ellen Wilson.

This is the White House operator.
Please hold for the president.

Ellen.

Mr. President.

This Apollo-Soyuz business…

Sir, I know we had discussed
canceling the mission, but I felt--

It was beautiful.
And Nancy thought so too.

Four patriots of different nations
coming together.

Well, it was just inspirational.

-We need that now more than ever, sir.
-Yes. Yes, we do.

Now, there might be a way out of this yet,
if we have enough time.

What's the status of Pathfinder and Buran?

They're still out
of communication range, sir.

You have two minutes
to comply with blockade.

The United States
does not recognize your blockade.

If you take any aggressive action,
we will respond in kind.

Buran's radar signature
shows no sign of missile lock, sir.

Maybe they are bluffing.

No, they're just biding their time.

Activate radar lock system.

I have target acquisition.

Confirmed.
Target range shows 180 kilometers,

relative velocity two meters per second.

Within targeting parameters.

Once Buran engages
its missile lock system,

there will only be seconds until they
fire on Sea Dragon, so we gotta be ready.

Ride, lock weapons system on target.

-Ride, lock weapons system on target.
-Admiral…

Ed, this can't be the only way.

-We can--
-We can what?

Ask them nicely to leave us alone?

You heard the general.

They attacked Jamestown.

They killed Americans.
We have orders to protect--

Yes, but you are the commander
of this ship.

The ultimate decision is yours.

Ed, I watched you testify on Apollo 10.

You sat there in front of the world,
and you said that that was your call.

That's right, and I don't intend
on losing the moon a second time.

The only thing
these people understand is strength.

I saw it in Korea.

If we didn't stand our ground
and fight back,

the enemy would've gone
all the way to the South Sea.

-Ed, this isn't Korea!
-You're goddamn right it isn't!

It's a lot bigger.
Now lock weapons system on target!

Cover my station.

Step aside.

You're relieved of duty.

That's an order.

System lock.

Step away from the console, sir.

Sally, what the hell are you doing?

I said step away from the console.

-Put the gun down, Sal.
-I'm not kidding, Ed.

The Soviets attacked Jamestown.

They got American blood on their hands,
and Sea Dragon--

Is unmanned! And whatever its cargo,
that's not the same as a human life.

We fire on Buran,
we kill everyone on board

and probably start a war
that kills millions more.

-That's not your call to make.
-Sally, put the gun down.

Stay back, Ed. I mean it.

You gonna shoot me, Sal?

I'll do what I have to.

So shoot me.

Never shot anyone before, have you, Sal?

Jesus! You both know
we're in a pressurized spacecraft, right?

Sally's not gonna shoot anyone.
Are you, Sally?

Enough.

Enough! This is insane.

You're both so goddamn sure
you're right, and maybe you are.

We can't let them
shoot down the Sea Dragon,

but we can't shoot down Buran either.

Maybe it's not some
black-and-white choice. Right?

Maybe there's some other way.

Buran has missile lock on Sea Dragon.

Ed, stop.

Don't. Ed, please.

Ed, stop.

I'm gonna do what I gotta do, Sal.
You do what you have to.

Please, Ed.

Wait. Wait, that's not right.

Yeah, it is.

Pathfinder, this is Houston. Do you read?

Pathfinder, Houston.

Houston, this is Pathfinder.
It's good to hear your voice.

Houston, I don't know
quite how to say this, but--

Ed, it's Ellen. We need to know,
did you engage with Buran?

Did you shoot them down?

Negative.

Thank God.

Come again, Houston?

Ladies and gentlemen,
we have breaking news.

Reports have just come in

that President Reagan has
rerouted Air Force One to Moscow

after making a last-minute entreaty
to Premier Andropov.

-The two leaders hope to negotiate…
-Hold your fire!

-We are being ordered to pull back!
-…a mutual pullback of forces

both here and in space,
ending the current standoff.

Sources at the White House conveyed
that President Reagan,

like millions around the world,

was so moved by the images
of the Apollo-Soyuz mission

that it inspired him
to reach out his own hand in peace.

Andropov's surprising
willingness to negotiate

is thought in part to be linked to the
explosion of NASA's Sea Dragon 17 rocket,

which is being blamed on faulty circuitry.

NASA has not yet commented
on the incident.

The Sea Dragon has had a perfect
safety record to this point,

but production of the large rocket
has been halted at its Huntsville plant

until further investigation.

A grateful nation opens her heart today

in gratitude for their sacrifice,

for their courage
and for their noble service.

On April 3rd, 1972,

a C-5A Galaxy transport plane with 243
infants, children, volunteers and crew

took off from Saigon
as part of Operation Babylift.

One minute, 23 seconds later,
the plane crashed into a field.

Forty-seven children were rescued.
I was one of them.

There are these moments
that shape your life,

moments you have no control over.

If the pilot had banked left
instead of right,

if the south had won the war in Vietnam,

if the Russians
hadn't beat us to the moon…

You okay?

Yeah.

I always thought things
happen for a reason.

Good and bad, there's a design, a plan.

But lately I've started to wonder

if maybe we just say that
to make ourselves feel better.

Maybe we're just drifting
from moment to moment

trying to do what we think is right.

To give some meaning to our lives.

So who am I?

I'm Hanh Nguyen, born in Saigon,
daughter of Le and Binh Nguyen.

And I'm Kelly Ann Baldwin,
raised in Houston,

daughter of Karen and Ed Baldwin.

A child of the space program.

Is this the journey I was meant to be on?

Applying to the Naval Academy,
following in my father's footsteps?

I don't know.

All I know is the more we look back,
wondering what might have been,

the less we're living for today.

And the future…

John Lennon probably put it best:

"Everything will be okay in the end.

And if it's not okay, it's not the end."

Hello?

Hello. Margo?

Sergei?

I wished to call to convey my respects.

I wanted to be there myself today, but,
alas, I could not get the clearance.

I'm sure that would have been complicated.

They were heroes for America
and for the Soviet Union

and for the whole world.

Yes, they were.

Margo, I wanted to ask,

will you be at the ICSE conference
in the UK this summer?

I'm not sure. Why?

Well, I will be there. So, if you come,

perhaps we could meet for a drink?

-Margo?
-Yes.

I'll have to see.

If I'm going, I mean.

There's a lot happening around Houston
around that time and…

Yes. Yes, of course, I understand.

But I'll see what I can do.

Okay.

I'll speak to you soon, Sergei.

Goodbye, Margo.

Good.

Very good.

I'm telling you, she will not come.

It doesn't matter.

She already opened the door with Buran.

By the time she realizes
she is working for us,

it will be too late.
