2
00:00:35,974 --> 00:00:38,653
Thats Orion right there,
3
00:00:39,103 --> 00:00:40,561
the triangle.
4
00:00:40,834 --> 00:00:43,633
And that is Cassiopia.
5
00:00:44,406 --> 00:00:46,559
- Cassiopia?
- Yeah.
6
00:00:46,868 --> 00:00:48,836
Who was she?
7
00:00:49,468 --> 00:00:51,001
No idea.
8
00:00:52,975 --> 00:00:54,406
Thats the big dipper,
9
00:00:55,476 --> 00:00:59,605
and here we have another celestial body.
10
00:01:02,034 --> 00:01:03,753
What do you think you're doing?
11
00:01:03,779 --> 00:01:05,654
I'm about to go
12
00:01:05,934 --> 00:01:07,533
where no man
13
00:01:07,559 --> 00:01:08,859
has gone before.
14
00:01:19,585 --> 00:01:21,064
It's a satellite.
15
00:01:21,855 --> 00:01:24,007
This is so sick, look at that thing.
16
00:01:24,345 --> 00:01:26,078
I don't know Jeff, maybe...
17
00:01:26,277 --> 00:01:30,712
maybe we should leave it alone.
It could be radioactive and stuff.
18
00:01:48,215 --> 00:01:51,479
- Should we tell Marti?
- Are you kidding me? No.
19
00:01:51,505 --> 00:01:54,160
The old fart would just grab it and take all the glory.
20
00:02:05,570 --> 00:02:06,899
It's gone.
21
00:02:07,968 --> 00:02:08,833
Great,
22
00:02:08,859 --> 00:02:10,619
Mandrake's going to sit a brick.
23
00:02:19,538 --> 00:02:21,443
Bright light, big city,
24
00:02:21,469 --> 00:02:22,868
excitement.
25
00:02:22,894 --> 00:02:24,859
Peadmont, Utah,
26
00:02:24,885 --> 00:02:27,379
the armpit of nowhere.
27
00:02:27,405 --> 00:02:29,196
Awful quiet down there.
28
00:02:31,499 --> 00:02:32,971
What are those?
29
00:02:36,228 --> 00:02:37,565
Buzzards.
30
00:02:44,333 --> 00:02:45,880
This is Caper One.
31
00:02:45,906 --> 00:02:49,381
Project Scoop appears to have been moved.
I'm following the signal.
32
00:02:49,407 --> 00:02:50,788
Roger that, Caper One.
33
00:03:05,158 --> 00:03:07,366
No signs yet of any life,
34
00:03:07,392 --> 00:03:10,430
except for this joker staring at us in his pick-up.
35
00:03:15,037 --> 00:03:16,826
Rounding the corner.
36
00:03:18,418 --> 00:03:20,324
Hold on.
37
00:03:23,896 --> 00:03:25,802
Looks like a war zone.
38
00:03:26,514 --> 00:03:28,439
Tell me I'm not seeing this.
39
00:03:28,792 --> 00:03:30,806
This town is full of bodies.
40
00:03:37,454 --> 00:03:42,860
Over here, over here, help me!
Help me man, you've got to help me!
41
00:03:50,855 --> 00:03:53,682
Oh God, no. No, no, no no!
42
00:03:56,591 --> 00:03:57,892
No!
43
00:03:58,561 --> 00:04:01,863
No, no, no, no, nooo!
44
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,003
- Where was this again?
- Piedmont, Utah. It's an old mining town.
45
00:04:10,030 --> 00:04:13,253
There's a state park nearby.
It's remote, very isolated.
46
00:04:13,279 --> 00:04:15,135
We seem to have caught a break there.
47
00:04:15,161 --> 00:04:17,956
You'll forgive me if I don't
share your sense of gratitude.
48
00:04:17,982 --> 00:04:19,339
Was it the Korean's?
49
00:04:19,365 --> 00:04:20,796
I think thats unlikely.
50
00:04:20,822 --> 00:04:22,049
Who then?
51
00:04:22,075 --> 00:04:23,070
We don't know.
52
00:04:23,096 --> 00:04:24,865
We're quarantining the area.
53
00:04:24,891 --> 00:04:26,623
This road is closed, ma'am.
54
00:04:26,649 --> 00:04:30,664
You need to detour back around using state road 46.
55
00:04:30,690 --> 00:04:35,763
I'll also have a predator on an
over-flight in the next couple of hours;
I'll know more then.
56
00:04:35,789 --> 00:04:37,748
I'll notify the department of homeland security.
57
00:04:37,774 --> 00:04:39,785
Let me handle that.
58
00:04:40,659 --> 00:04:42,131
And the White House?
59
00:04:45,807 --> 00:04:47,135
Chuck.
60
00:04:47,923 --> 00:04:49,291
I'll take care of both.
61
00:04:49,317 --> 00:04:52,345
I'm also required to initiate the Wildfire protocol.
62
00:04:52,371 --> 00:04:54,979
Does Dr. Stone still have the team?
63
00:04:55,005 --> 00:04:58,149
Untill they pry his cold dead fingers off the door.
64
00:04:58,528 --> 00:05:02,237
I don't suppose there's any way round him?
65
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:08,194
I can't watch him 24 hours a day.
66
00:05:08,299 --> 00:05:09,823
Do you even know where Lance is?
67
00:05:09,927 --> 00:05:14,082
Are you questioning my parenting?
68
00:05:14,187 --> 00:05:16,126
How long have you
been off your meds? Oh!
69
00:05:16,231 --> 00:05:18,810
The great Dr. Stone
lays down the law.
70
00:05:18,914 --> 00:05:20,836
Nations tremble
and nubile graduate students
71
00:05:20,940 --> 00:05:23,573
spread their legs.
Look, you're not safe, all right?
72
00:05:23,678 --> 00:05:26,500
You're not safe to yourself
or to our son.
73
00:05:26,604 --> 00:05:28,040
Are you threatening me?
74
00:05:28,144 --> 00:05:31,036
Don't you try to bully me or I
will drag you back into court.
75
00:05:37,873 --> 00:05:42,034
Yes.
Dr. Jeremy Stone.
76
00:05:42,137 --> 00:05:43,798
I'm Dr. Stone.
77
00:05:43,902 --> 00:05:44,510
There's been a Wildfire alert.
78
00:05:44,614 --> 00:05:47,175
My orders are to gather you
79
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,721
and the rest of your team right away.
80
00:05:57,234 --> 00:05:58,882
Lisa.
81
00:05:58,986 --> 00:06:00,978
Please get yourself
checked in.
82
00:06:04,804 --> 00:06:06,830
Dad?
83
00:06:09,982 --> 00:06:13,409
Late night? It's mom's
house. Mom's rules.
84
00:06:13,513 --> 00:06:14,866
Not anymore.
85
00:06:14,970 --> 00:06:17,603
Look, I came by to tell you
that I made arrangements.
86
00:06:17,707 --> 00:06:19,593
You're gonna spend
the rest of the month in L.A.
87
00:06:19,697 --> 00:06:21,374
With my sister. She's gonna look
after you.
88
00:06:21,478 --> 00:06:22,414
I can look after myself.
89
00:06:22,518 --> 00:06:23,870
Oh, clearly. Look, Lance.
90
00:06:23,974 --> 00:06:27,022
We're not gonna argue
about this, all right?
91
00:06:27,125 --> 00:06:28,883
It's a done deal. You should...
You should go pack.
92
00:06:28,987 --> 00:06:29,985
Mom's the one who needs help.
93
00:06:30,089 --> 00:06:32,237
You mother has
all the help she needs
94
00:06:32,340 --> 00:06:33,776
if she'll just take it.
95
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,047
Yeah, that just lets you
off the hook, doesn't it?
96
00:06:37,152 --> 00:06:38,954
Sir?
97
00:06:39,058 --> 00:06:41,691
You can't wait
to get out of here?
98
00:06:41,795 --> 00:06:43,456
- I have to leave.
- Yeah.
99
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,181
I'm sure you have to go wherever
it is that you're going.
100
00:06:45,285 --> 00:06:48,505
- If it were anything
else, you know that.
101
00:06:48,610 --> 00:06:49,571
Yeah, I know.
102
00:06:49,674 --> 00:06:51,180
It-lt's work.
It's important.
103
00:06:58,608 --> 00:07:02,402
Nasa had a satellite fail
last night over the Utah desert,
104
00:07:02,507 --> 00:07:05,104
and, uh, the army sent in
a retrieval team.
105
00:07:05,209 --> 00:07:06,360
I just wanted to give you
a heads up
106
00:07:06,464 --> 00:07:09,428
before all
the phone calls start
107
00:07:09,532 --> 00:07:11,666
about the black helicopters
and little green men.
108
00:07:17,294 --> 00:07:20,413
I guess they're just
playing it safe, Ed.
109
00:07:20,517 --> 00:07:22,922
All right.
110
00:07:28,325 --> 00:07:29,831
Approaching Piedmont.
111
00:07:29,935 --> 00:07:31,894
Preparing to make
my initial surveillance pass.
112
00:07:31,998 --> 00:07:33,433
Go ahead.
113
00:07:33,537 --> 00:07:38,230
Commencing thermal imaging
and night vision recording.
114
00:07:41,832 --> 00:07:43,633
What the hell is that?
115
00:07:51,738 --> 00:07:54,595
Are those bodies?
116
00:07:54,699 --> 00:07:55,644
Holy Christ in heaven.
117
00:07:55,748 --> 00:07:59,097
I'm moving to northcom.
118
00:07:59,201 --> 00:08:01,835
Confine everyone to base
and lock it down.
119
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:03,073
I want you to stay
here in D.C.
120
00:08:03,177 --> 00:08:05,746
In case Beeter needs managing.
121
00:08:05,850 --> 00:08:08,552
Yes, general.
122
00:08:08,657 --> 00:08:10,277
- How's the campaign going?
- Fundraising has slowed,
123
00:08:10,381 --> 00:08:14,783
and we're down 15 in the polls
as of last night.
124
00:08:22,355 --> 00:08:24,296
Ha, looking for their piece of the
action, you mean?
125
00:08:24,401 --> 00:08:25,248
Exactly, and of course,
126
00:08:25,352 --> 00:08:27,237
the environmentalists are howling,
127
00:08:27,342 --> 00:08:30,459
and the opposition
is scoring points. Ready?
128
00:08:38,339 --> 00:08:40,190
Flattery will get you
everywhere, won't it?
129
00:08:40,294 --> 00:08:42,166
Thank you, Pat.
130
00:08:44,416 --> 00:08:45,735
Mr. President, we have
a situation, I'm afraid.
131
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:49,561
An infectious disease outbreak
of unknown origin
132
00:08:49,665 --> 00:08:51,100
in southern Utah.
133
00:08:51,204 --> 00:08:52,376
- How serious?
- Well, the area is remote,
134
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,828
and we think we have it under control,
135
00:08:55,933 --> 00:08:57,608
but I thought you might
like to know about...
136
00:08:57,712 --> 00:08:58,197
it right away.
137
00:08:58,301 --> 00:08:59,242
And I'll wanna be there.
138
00:08:59,346 --> 00:09:00,835
Respectfully, sir,
l think it would be better
139
00:09:00,940 --> 00:09:03,673
- if you stayed here in Washington.
- Daddy!
140
00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:06,859
Whoa! Hello!
What are you doing here?
141
00:09:06,963 --> 00:09:09,099
What are you doing here? Did
you escape?
142
00:09:09,203 --> 00:09:10,272
Hello. Hello, Chuck.
143
00:09:10,376 --> 00:09:12,938
Joanne. I'm sorry
to interrupt, honey.
144
00:09:13,042 --> 00:09:14,518
I was packing and this
little monster got...
145
00:09:14,622 --> 00:09:15,021
away from me.
146
00:09:15,126 --> 00:09:16,126
You got away from your mama.
147
00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:18,152
Campaign tour? Apparently
the American people
148
00:09:18,256 --> 00:09:20,142
would rather see my wife
than myself,
149
00:09:20,246 --> 00:09:22,654
although, I can't say
as I blame them too much.
150
00:09:22,758 --> 00:09:24,644
And as for you, young lady,
151
00:09:24,748 --> 00:09:26,670
you've got to go
back where you came from
152
00:09:26,774 --> 00:09:29,049
'cause daddy is working right
now, okay? Bye-Bye.
153
00:09:29,153 --> 00:09:29,633
Bye, daddy.
154
00:09:29,737 --> 00:09:33,043
Bye.
155
00:09:37,096 --> 00:09:40,439
So this infection is of
unknown origin, you say?
156
00:09:40,543 --> 00:09:42,879
We're still gathering
all the facts, sir.
157
00:09:42,984 --> 00:09:45,025
This isn't going to be
another Houston, is it?
158
00:09:45,129 --> 00:09:48,057
I think it's very unlikely.
159
00:09:48,161 --> 00:09:52,854
Anything you need, Chuck,
you let me know.
160
00:10:11,728 --> 00:10:14,016
- Yes?
- Dr. Tsi Chou?
161
00:10:17,618 --> 00:10:20,177
- What is it?
- There's been a Wildfire alert.
162
00:10:29,324 --> 00:10:31,055
You okay, sir?
163
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,568
Yeah. Light sensitivity.
164
00:10:33,672 --> 00:10:35,402
Uh, migraines.
165
00:10:41,339 --> 00:10:42,389
Adrian has a dentist
appointment on monday.
166
00:10:42,494 --> 00:10:46,400
Don't let him tell you
he's too sick to go.
167
00:10:46,504 --> 00:10:48,318
How long you think?
168
00:10:55,177 --> 00:10:56,305
If I call you and ask
you about your mother,
169
00:10:56,410 --> 00:11:00,133
Grab the kids, get on
a plane and go west.
170
00:11:00,237 --> 00:11:02,122
Get as much distance between you
171
00:11:02,227 --> 00:11:04,527
and the continental
United States as you can.
172
00:11:10,035 --> 00:11:11,577
I love you.
173
00:11:11,681 --> 00:11:13,673
I love you, too.
174
00:11:15,249 --> 00:11:16,838
Sir?
175
00:11:16,943 --> 00:11:19,268
Beeter has informed homeland
security and the president.
176
00:11:19,372 --> 00:11:21,258
The Wildfire team
should be assembled
177
00:11:21,362 --> 00:11:22,307
at Peterson Air Force Base
shortly after your arrival.
178
00:11:22,411 --> 00:11:25,796
Who's the designated "odd man"
on the Wildfire team?
179
00:11:25,901 --> 00:11:27,561
Army Major William Keene.
180
00:11:27,665 --> 00:11:29,813
Ah, the hero of the Houston event.
181
00:11:29,917 --> 00:11:30,862
Excellent researcher and a fine officer.
182
00:11:30,966 --> 00:11:33,865
He had a big dust-up
with Stone last year
183
00:11:33,969 --> 00:11:36,603
Over who first isolated the
CD-1 virus. Have they made up?
184
00:11:36,707 --> 00:11:38,592
They agreed to share credit,
185
00:11:38,697 --> 00:11:40,844
but there's no love lost
between them.
186
00:11:40,948 --> 00:11:44,291
Maybe that's something
we can build on. Sir.
187
00:12:05,002 --> 00:12:08,379
Major Keene?
188
00:12:15,132 --> 00:12:17,017
What's going on?
189
00:12:19,184 --> 00:12:21,177
Please, make yourself
comfortable, doctor.
190
00:12:21,281 --> 00:12:23,687
We'll be taking off shortly.
191
00:12:29,765 --> 00:12:31,496
Hello, Angela.
192
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,522
Jeremy. I, uh, asked
for something bigger,
193
00:12:33,626 --> 00:12:36,485
but this is the best they could
do on such short notice.
194
00:12:36,589 --> 00:12:38,025
I was in surgery.
195
00:12:38,129 --> 00:12:40,087
If it wasn't important,
we wouldn't have come calling.
196
00:12:40,191 --> 00:12:42,527
How bad is it?
197
00:12:42,632 --> 00:12:44,252
Preliminary reports suggest
a fatality rate of nearly 100%.
198
00:12:44,356 --> 00:12:50,163
You always bring me such good tidings.
199
00:12:50,267 --> 00:12:51,385
Please take your seats
and fasten your seatbelts.
200
00:12:51,490 --> 00:12:55,171
Flight attendants,
please cross-check the doors.
201
00:12:55,275 --> 00:12:57,197
I heard about you and Lisa.
202
00:12:57,300 --> 00:12:58,736
How's Lance feeling?
203
00:12:58,841 --> 00:13:01,107
He's a teenager,
so it's always hard to tell.
204
00:13:01,211 --> 00:13:02,788
Beneath the raging hormones,
205
00:13:02,892 --> 00:13:05,527
I'd--I'd have to say he's pretty angry.
206
00:13:05,631 --> 00:13:06,924
He's tolerating the separation.
207
00:13:07,028 --> 00:13:09,992
He's going to stay
with my sister in Los Angeles
208
00:13:10,096 --> 00:13:13,631
- for the rest of july.
- I almost called you when I heard,
209
00:13:13,735 --> 00:13:14,532
but I figured that your life
210
00:13:14,635 --> 00:13:17,683
was probably complicated enough.
211
00:13:17,788 --> 00:13:19,518
Yeah.
Yes.
212
00:13:23,653 --> 00:13:26,046
Mr. Nash, you have a phone call.
213
00:13:28,747 --> 00:13:31,982
Well, I guess I'd better take that then.
214
00:13:41,579 --> 00:13:44,436
- No names!
- God, you're paranoid.
215
00:13:44,540 --> 00:13:46,913
Like the N.S.A. isn't really
tracing all our calls.
216
00:13:47,017 --> 00:13:49,875
Wheezer, knock off the double
espressos and go back to bed.
217
00:13:49,980 --> 00:13:52,174
At the king.
One hour.
218
00:13:52,278 --> 00:13:56,854
Yeah, may have
a little trouble with that.
219
00:13:56,959 --> 00:13:58,110
Mancheck.
220
00:13:58,214 --> 00:14:00,645
Mancheck?
221
00:14:00,749 --> 00:14:04,058
Mr. Nash? Mr. Nash, I think
this is a terrible mistake.
222
00:14:04,163 --> 00:14:06,048
I'll check in again when I'm done.
223
00:14:06,152 --> 00:14:08,111
- It doesn't work like that.
- What doesn't-
224
00:14:08,215 --> 00:14:09,687
My addiction or my insurance?
225
00:14:09,791 --> 00:14:11,901
Well, both, really.
226
00:14:12,005 --> 00:14:13,514
Simply put, these thermal vents
on the ocean floor
227
00:14:13,617 --> 00:14:16,725
precipitate a fortune
in almost pure mineral deposits,
228
00:14:16,829 --> 00:14:22,518
such as manganese, critical
in the production of steel,
229
00:14:22,622 --> 00:14:24,508
and gold in higher concentrations
230
00:14:24,612 --> 00:14:26,879
- than most onshore mines.
- Wheezer, this had better be good.
231
00:14:26,984 --> 00:14:29,544
Until now, no one could
extract these deposits
232
00:14:29,648 --> 00:14:30,707
because of the crushing depths
at which they are found,
233
00:14:30,811 --> 00:14:33,550
but this new technology makes
it possible. Do you mind?
234
00:14:33,654 --> 00:14:36,784
Come on. Don't be a tease.
What's up?
235
00:14:36,889 --> 00:14:40,041
Not up. Down.
"Project Scoop."
236
00:14:40,146 --> 00:14:42,563
What's that?
A Baskin-Robbins' special?
237
00:14:42,667 --> 00:14:43,005
Funny.
238
00:14:43,108 --> 00:14:45,740
Check this out.
239
00:14:51,331 --> 00:14:53,774
It's like a war zone.
240
00:14:53,878 --> 00:14:56,251
This town is full of bodies.
241
00:14:56,355 --> 00:15:00,873
Over here! Over here!
Help me, man! Help me!
242
00:15:00,977 --> 00:15:03,088
You gotta help me.
243
00:15:03,192 --> 00:15:06,831
Oh! No! No! No!
244
00:15:06,936 --> 00:15:08,858
What the hell was that?
245
00:15:08,962 --> 00:15:10,920
Early this morning,
there was an exchange
246
00:15:11,024 --> 00:15:12,460
between Nasa
and the pentagon
247
00:15:12,563 --> 00:15:14,522
about a satellite
code-named Project Scoop
248
00:15:14,626 --> 00:15:16,061
that crashed in southern Utah.
249
00:15:16,165 --> 00:15:17,937
About an hour later, I picked that up-
250
00:15:18,041 --> 00:15:19,287
The last transmission
of a retrieval team
251
00:15:19,392 --> 00:15:22,815
that went into a nearby town, Piedmont,
252
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,778
- after the satellite--
- An army retrieval team.
253
00:15:25,882 --> 00:15:27,768
Hacking the feds is a felony, Wheezer.
254
00:15:27,872 --> 00:15:30,280
Homeland security
will be all over your ass.
255
00:15:30,385 --> 00:15:32,198
My bike needs new tires.
256
00:15:35,491 --> 00:15:37,292
Mancheck?
257
00:15:42,020 --> 00:15:45,814
No! Caper One, do you copy?
Do you copy, Caper One?
258
00:15:45,918 --> 00:15:48,374
Once again, Caper One,
do you copy? Come in.
259
00:15:48,478 --> 00:15:50,038
Get general Mancheck.
260
00:15:50,143 --> 00:15:54,332
Get Mancheck now.
261
00:15:54,436 --> 00:15:56,057
Jack Nash,
my favorite muckraker.
262
00:15:56,161 --> 00:15:59,855
Whose career
are you ruining today?
263
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:01,536
Oh, you know me.
264
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,824
My hit list of the venal
and the morally corrupt
265
00:16:03,928 --> 00:16:05,625
just keeps on growing.
I can't keep pace.
266
00:16:05,729 --> 00:16:07,164
Hey, is Jeremy there?
267
00:16:07,269 --> 00:16:09,678
Well, for such a superb
investigative journalist,
268
00:16:09,781 --> 00:16:11,075
You are sadly ignorant.
269
00:16:11,179 --> 00:16:12,082
The good doctor and I split.
270
00:16:12,187 --> 00:16:14,594
He has a love nest somewhere,
271
00:16:14,698 --> 00:16:18,007
probably on campus, close
to the sororities he prefers.
272
00:16:18,111 --> 00:16:19,855
I'm-I'm sorry to hear
that, Lisa, truly.
273
00:16:19,959 --> 00:16:22,959
But do you have a number for
him? This is very important.
274
00:16:23,064 --> 00:16:24,724
It wouldn't do you any good.
275
00:16:24,828 --> 00:16:26,750
Saint Jeremy's off
on assignment for the army.
276
00:16:26,855 --> 00:16:29,713
Very hush-hush. They picked
him up early this morning.
277
00:16:29,817 --> 00:16:31,307
Was this in regards
to a Project Scoop?
278
00:16:31,411 --> 00:16:35,530
Don't know. Don't care.
279
00:16:35,634 --> 00:16:36,579
Good afternoon, everyone.
280
00:16:36,684 --> 00:16:38,682
I'm general George Mancheck,
281
00:16:38,786 --> 00:16:40,069
head of the U.S. Army
bio-defense department.
282
00:16:40,173 --> 00:16:41,817
Uh, you are now being
distributed e-papers.
283
00:16:41,921 --> 00:16:43,775
They contain continuously
updated information
284
00:16:43,879 --> 00:16:45,880
about Wildfire,
and what we currently know
285
00:16:45,984 --> 00:16:49,712
about the event,
which is very little.
286
00:16:49,816 --> 00:16:51,325
Since the failed biological
attack in Houston last year
287
00:16:51,429 --> 00:16:56,691
in which major Keene here
played an important part,
288
00:16:56,795 --> 00:16:59,655
our vulnerability to terrorist
action, especially bioterrorism,
289
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:01,645
has been a subject
of intense discussion.
290
00:17:01,749 --> 00:17:03,932
You, the Wildfire response team
and laboratory,
291
00:17:04,036 --> 00:17:07,272
are the result of that discussion.
292
00:17:07,376 --> 00:17:08,322
You volunteered
in the spirit of patriotism
293
00:17:08,426 --> 00:17:11,586
for an assignment
that was vague at the time.
294
00:17:11,690 --> 00:17:13,125
Undoubtedly, you're wondering
295
00:17:13,230 --> 00:17:15,377
what the hell you've
got yourselves into.
296
00:17:15,481 --> 00:17:18,340
Dr. Stone. Right. Well, obviously
some of you have worked together.
297
00:17:18,444 --> 00:17:20,817
Certainly everyone here
has read each others' work-
298
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,700
At least heard of one another.
299
00:17:22,804 --> 00:17:24,381
I'm Dr. Jeremy Stone,
300
00:17:24,485 --> 00:17:26,858
head of the Bloomsburg facility
at Johns Hopkins
301
00:17:26,962 --> 00:17:28,164
and the chief consultant for, and...
302
00:17:28,268 --> 00:17:29,679
designer of, the Wildfire
lab and project.
303
00:17:29,783 --> 00:17:31,585
Where is the laboratory?
304
00:17:31,689 --> 00:17:34,773
For security reasons,
we cannot disclose its location.
305
00:17:34,877 --> 00:17:37,250
We're not allowed to know
where we'll be working?
306
00:17:37,354 --> 00:17:39,240
No, but I can assure you that, uh,
307
00:17:39,344 --> 00:17:42,203
we'll be in full and constant
contact with the outside.
308
00:17:42,307 --> 00:17:43,967
Dr. Noyce?
309
00:17:44,071 --> 00:17:45,993
Uh, Dr. Angela Noyce,
surgeon, ex-biologist
310
00:17:46,098 --> 00:17:49,407
and I specialize in tropical
and exotic diseases.
311
00:17:49,511 --> 00:17:50,757
Dr. Charlene Barton,
pathologist,
312
00:17:50,861 --> 00:17:52,380
Formerly with the C.D.C.,
313
00:17:52,484 --> 00:17:54,584
now with the San Francisco
health department.
314
00:17:54,689 --> 00:17:55,982
Major Bill Keene, M.D.,
315
00:17:56,086 --> 00:17:57,369
Virologist from the Army
medial research institute
316
00:17:57,473 --> 00:18:00,471
of infectious diseases,
Fort Detrick, Maryland.
317
00:18:03,848 --> 00:18:06,966
Uh, Dr. Tsi Chou,
microbiologist.
318
00:18:07,071 --> 00:18:08,506
So modest.
319
00:18:08,610 --> 00:18:11,552
About ten years ago, Dr. Chou
was one of the premier designers
320
00:18:11,656 --> 00:18:14,929
of biological weapons
for the Chinese government.
321
00:18:15,033 --> 00:18:17,511
But then I saw the light of Jesus,
322
00:18:17,615 --> 00:18:19,881
and now I serve as a consultant
on bioterrorism
323
00:18:19,986 --> 00:18:22,133
for a wide range
of U.S. corporations.
324
00:18:22,237 --> 00:18:24,559
Out of the ashes, into the fire.
325
00:18:27,711 --> 00:18:29,667
Last night-
uh, please.
326
00:18:29,772 --> 00:18:33,044
Last night, a Nasa satellite lost orbit
327
00:18:33,149 --> 00:18:36,040
and came down in a remote part
of southern Utah.
328
00:18:39,192 --> 00:18:40,172
When a retrieval team arrived,
329
00:18:40,276 --> 00:18:42,724
the satellite had been moved,
330
00:18:42,828 --> 00:18:46,551
we believe by civilians, into
the nearby town of Piedmont.
331
00:18:46,656 --> 00:18:49,028
No signs yet of any life.
332
00:18:49,132 --> 00:18:51,349
Except for this joker
staring at us from his pickup.
333
00:18:53,375 --> 00:18:55,818
We're rounding the corner--
334
00:18:55,923 --> 00:18:57,878
Whoa, hold on.
335
00:18:59,903 --> 00:19:02,310
This town is full of bodies.
336
00:19:02,414 --> 00:19:03,585
- It's like a war zone.
- Over here! Over here!
337
00:19:03,689 --> 00:19:07,037
Help me! Help me, man.
You gotta help me!
338
00:19:07,142 --> 00:19:08,683
Aah! Aah!
339
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,311
Help! No! No!
340
00:19:22,499 --> 00:19:24,408
The team's chemical sensors
detected nothing unusual,
341
00:19:24,513 --> 00:19:27,336
so we suspect a biological agent
342
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,875
now code-named "Andromeda."
343
00:19:28,979 --> 00:19:32,063
Whatever Andromeda is, it killed
those two soldiers so quickly,
344
00:19:32,167 --> 00:19:35,215
they didn't even have time
to jump out of their humvee.
345
00:19:35,319 --> 00:19:38,141
Two hours later, this infrared recording
346
00:19:38,245 --> 00:19:40,356
was made by a pilotless drone
347
00:19:40,460 --> 00:19:43,366
flying east to west
at an altitude of 500 feet.
348
00:19:43,470 --> 00:19:46,054
The, um, bright spots indicating
thermal activity are corpses.
349
00:19:48,839 --> 00:19:52,324
And, uh, this is another pass
immediately afterwards-
350
00:19:52,428 --> 00:19:53,566
Same parameters.
351
00:19:57,618 --> 00:20:00,737
What brought that satellite
out of orbit in the first place?
352
00:20:00,841 --> 00:20:02,905
Uh, possibly contact with a meteor
353
00:20:03,009 --> 00:20:04,669
or unknown space debris.
354
00:20:04,774 --> 00:20:08,083
Uh, there was also one of two new
North Korean satellites in the area.
355
00:20:08,187 --> 00:20:09,967
What they were doing there,
of course, we have no idea.
356
00:20:10,071 --> 00:20:11,631
Well, being sinister
and inscrutable, no doubt.
357
00:20:11,736 --> 00:20:15,784
If their purpose is benign,
why keep it a secret?
358
00:20:15,888 --> 00:20:18,663
One could say the same thing
about this operation, general.
359
00:20:18,768 --> 00:20:19,789
What exactly was Nasa
doing with that satellite?
360
00:20:19,893 --> 00:20:22,940
And--and why was an Army
retrieval vehicle sent in
361
00:20:23,045 --> 00:20:24,705
after it had failed?
362
00:20:24,809 --> 00:20:27,443
Nasa doesn't have a pot
to piss in these days.
363
00:20:27,548 --> 00:20:28,532
All flights are multipurpose.
364
00:20:28,636 --> 00:20:31,271
We're going to need
to trust each other, doctor.
365
00:20:31,375 --> 00:20:32,396
As long as we all act in good faith,
366
00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:35,736
I don't have a problem there.
General?
367
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,732
Can we play both
recordings simultaneously?
368
00:20:47,287 --> 00:20:49,280
That body by the recovery vehicle
369
00:20:49,384 --> 00:20:51,198
has moved between passes.
370
00:20:54,349 --> 00:20:56,517
- Again. Overlay.
- Yes, sir.
371
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,688
Freeze it. Overlay.
372
00:21:03,792 --> 00:21:05,522
Switch back.
373
00:21:07,999 --> 00:21:09,433
Son of a bitch.
374
00:21:10,558 --> 00:21:14,077
Someone's alive down there.
375
00:21:17,904 --> 00:21:19,861
Listen, Bill.
376
00:21:19,965 --> 00:21:21,022
Whatever differences
we've had in the past,
377
00:21:21,127 --> 00:21:22,729
I hope we can put 'em
aside for the duration.
378
00:21:22,833 --> 00:21:26,734
I wouldn't miss this
for the world, Jeremy.
379
00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:28,173
Somebody has to keep
an eye on you.
380
00:21:28,278 --> 00:21:33,179
What's up with you and Mancheck?
381
00:21:33,283 --> 00:21:34,944
Mancheck?
382
00:21:35,048 --> 00:21:36,745
Well, during operation Desert Storm,
383
00:21:36,849 --> 00:21:39,446
I wanted to examine certain
lraqi munitions bunkers
384
00:21:39,550 --> 00:21:42,823
for possible biological agents,
but he blew them up first.
385
00:21:42,927 --> 00:21:43,900
Why the big hurry?
386
00:21:44,004 --> 00:21:46,912
Maybe there was something
he didn't want me to find.
387
00:21:47,016 --> 00:21:48,901
Oh, yeah, like the Loch Ness monster,
388
00:21:49,006 --> 00:21:50,289
or maybe there was proof of Bigfoot.
389
00:21:50,394 --> 00:21:51,864
Look, a lot of people
wondered how Saddam
390
00:21:51,968 --> 00:21:53,232
acquired his bioweapons
capability in the first place.
391
00:21:53,337 --> 00:21:57,492
Now some people have suggested
that certain governments,
392
00:21:57,597 --> 00:22:00,240
who were friendly at the time
and eager for data
393
00:22:00,345 --> 00:22:02,670
on the battlefield use of
weaponized biological agents,
394
00:22:02,775 --> 00:22:04,435
might have sold Saddam what he wanted
395
00:22:04,539 --> 00:22:05,397
- when he was fighting Iran.
396
00:22:05,502 --> 00:22:06,948
That's just a bunch of
paranoid left-wing B.S.
397
00:22:07,051 --> 00:22:09,958
- It was never proven, Jeremy.
- Just because you're paranoid, Bill,
398
00:22:10,062 --> 00:22:12,384
doesn't mean they ain't out to get you.
399
00:22:29,494 --> 00:22:31,225
Mancheck.
400
00:22:31,328 --> 00:22:33,475
A heads-up from our friend
at the N.S.A.
401
00:22:33,580 --> 00:22:35,989
Who's been running security
checks on the Wildfire team.
402
00:22:36,093 --> 00:22:38,548
An hour ago they picked
up a conversation
403
00:22:38,652 --> 00:22:40,538
between Lisa Stone and Jack Nash.
404
00:22:40,642 --> 00:22:43,642
How the hell did Jack
Nash stumble on this?
405
00:22:43,747 --> 00:22:46,344
He asked about Project Scoop.
406
00:22:46,449 --> 00:22:48,258
Jeez. Who's his source?
407
00:22:48,362 --> 00:22:51,486
We're working on it.
408
00:22:51,590 --> 00:22:53,098
Nash and Stone were
an unbelievable pain in the ass
409
00:22:53,202 --> 00:22:54,177
over Kuwait.
410
00:22:54,282 --> 00:22:57,825
How much does he know
about Project Scoop?
411
00:22:57,930 --> 00:23:00,335
Well, as far as we
can tell, nothing yet.
412
00:23:02,811 --> 00:23:05,563
Don't do anything about Nash right now,
413
00:23:05,668 --> 00:23:07,115
except monitor him closely
414
00:23:07,219 --> 00:23:10,775
and identify his source.
415
00:23:15,051 --> 00:23:18,951
What's the escort for? Paparazzi?
416
00:23:19,055 --> 00:23:21,913
A fail-safe plan to prevent
a break in quarantine.
417
00:23:22,018 --> 00:23:23,903
The chopper will drop us off
418
00:23:24,007 --> 00:23:25,290
and hover at 500 feet
until we recall it.
419
00:23:25,394 --> 00:23:28,856
It will not land unless
they get our signal.
420
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,820
Now if we don't come back,
they're to immediately report
421
00:23:31,924 --> 00:23:33,075
back to base for decontamination.
422
00:23:33,179 --> 00:23:36,510
And if the pilot fails to respond?
423
00:23:36,615 --> 00:23:39,698
Well, there is a fail-safe
for the fail-safe.
424
00:23:39,803 --> 00:23:41,546
It's not too late to reconsider.
425
00:23:41,651 --> 00:23:43,940
Oh, this is just starting to get good.
426
00:23:44,044 --> 00:23:47,919
Approaching target, sir.
427
00:23:52,114 --> 00:23:54,449
We have smoke rising from the town, sir.
428
00:24:03,595 --> 00:24:05,184
Whatever Andromeda is,
429
00:24:05,288 --> 00:24:07,647
it still hasn't killed the birds.
430
00:24:10,573 --> 00:24:11,932
Best not to take any chances.
431
00:24:12,037 --> 00:24:15,351
Captain, drop the chlorazine.
432
00:24:15,455 --> 00:24:17,102
Roger that.
433
00:24:48,170 --> 00:24:51,737
Hmm, the Audubon society's
not gonna like that.
434
00:24:51,842 --> 00:24:53,764
Lieutenant, when ready, lower the team
435
00:24:53,868 --> 00:24:55,528
into the center of town
436
00:24:55,632 --> 00:24:56,880
and take up your preassigned position.
437
00:24:56,983 --> 00:24:58,455
Roger that.
438
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,968
What are the ultimate
environmental consequences
439
00:25:01,072 --> 00:25:02,769
of mining these deep-sea thermal vents?
440
00:25:02,873 --> 00:25:04,166
We don't know,
441
00:25:04,270 --> 00:25:06,418
but one thing we know for
sure is that Enburtel,
442
00:25:06,522 --> 00:25:09,973
one of president Scott's largest
corporate campaign contributors,
443
00:25:10,077 --> 00:25:12,188
will make a fortune from it.
444
00:25:12,292 --> 00:25:13,813
And once again, the president and his
corporate masters...
445
00:25:13,917 --> 00:25:14,270
Hey, gorgeous.
446
00:25:14,354 --> 00:25:15,305
...are ignoring science,
defying international treaties
447
00:25:15,409 --> 00:25:18,716
- and acting unilaterally.
- Charlie H., long time, no see.
448
00:25:18,820 --> 00:25:22,129
- Sorry, Charlie, he just barged in.
- That's all right. Just call security.
449
00:25:22,234 --> 00:25:24,606
Whoa, Charles,
I'm not feeling the love here.
450
00:25:24,710 --> 00:25:26,820
You're in rehab.
That was our deal.
451
00:25:26,925 --> 00:25:28,763
30 days, then you might
get your job back.
452
00:25:28,867 --> 00:25:29,784
I'm clean. I'm sober.
453
00:25:29,887 --> 00:25:31,773
Look at me, I'm even tan,
and I am-
454
00:25:31,877 --> 00:25:34,700
- I've got a lead on something-
- 30 days rehab.
455
00:25:34,804 --> 00:25:35,736
- That was the deal.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
456
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:36,226
Come on, Charlie.
457
00:25:36,322 --> 00:25:38,563
You're too good a producer
to let your personal feelings
458
00:25:38,667 --> 00:25:41,454
- get in the way of a great story.
- How great?
459
00:25:41,558 --> 00:25:44,867
Last night, Nasa satellite
crashes in southern Utah.
460
00:25:44,971 --> 00:25:46,857
This is news?
We call that gravity.
461
00:25:46,961 --> 00:25:49,369
Nasa claims it was a weather
satellite. I know that's a lie.
462
00:25:49,473 --> 00:25:50,513
And why was an Army retrieval team
463
00:25:50,617 --> 00:25:53,385
sent to pick up said Nasa bird,
464
00:25:53,489 --> 00:25:55,981
and why was that team from
the department of bio-defense?
465
00:25:56,085 --> 00:25:59,500
If this is another one
of your paranoid fantasies,
466
00:25:59,604 --> 00:26:02,876
- I swear to--
- The whole unit died horribly.
467
00:26:02,981 --> 00:26:04,453
Wait a minute.
Wait. Wait.
468
00:26:04,556 --> 00:26:05,767
Did...
469
00:26:05,871 --> 00:26:08,243
you know this for a fact?
470
00:26:08,347 --> 00:26:10,080
- I saw the visuals myself.
- You got tape?
471
00:26:10,185 --> 00:26:11,620
I can get tape.
472
00:26:11,724 --> 00:26:13,766
Right. Meanwhile, a
couple of hours later,
473
00:26:13,870 --> 00:26:15,447
one of our leading epidemiologists
474
00:26:15,551 --> 00:26:18,411
is picked up by the Army
and whisked away.
475
00:26:18,514 --> 00:26:20,400
And?
476
00:26:20,504 --> 00:26:23,138
And the Army general
in charge is Mancheck.
477
00:26:23,242 --> 00:26:25,352
- Mancheck. See?
- I knew it. I knew it.
478
00:26:25,456 --> 00:26:28,091
You-You just won't let
that go, will you?
479
00:26:28,195 --> 00:26:30,080
I mean, you're like frickin' Ahab
480
00:26:30,185 --> 00:26:31,468
- and the white whale with that guy.
481
00:26:31,573 --> 00:26:33,043
I swear to god, this
just fell in my lap.
482
00:26:33,147 --> 00:26:34,411
All I need is a week
to run this down and a crew.
483
00:26:34,516 --> 00:26:38,185
A week and a crew -
that's all I'm asking for.
484
00:26:38,289 --> 00:26:42,274
Three days, then you get
your ass back in Betty Ford,
485
00:26:42,378 --> 00:26:44,263
or wherever you were.
486
00:26:44,368 --> 00:26:46,550
- This man loves me.
- Don't kid yourself.
487
00:26:46,655 --> 00:26:49,511
Loves me!
488
00:27:17,614 --> 00:27:19,240
External symptoms -
489
00:27:19,344 --> 00:27:22,795
Pronounced swelling of all
surface veins and capillaries,
490
00:27:22,899 --> 00:27:26,361
jaundice-like yellowing of his eyes.
491
00:27:26,465 --> 00:27:28,732
A few of them are
clutching their chests.
492
00:27:28,836 --> 00:27:30,413
This could be coronary.
493
00:27:30,518 --> 00:27:32,334
Not coronary.
Look at his face.
494
00:27:32,438 --> 00:27:33,790
Asphyxiation, maybe.
495
00:27:33,894 --> 00:27:36,042
No, if a person can't breathe,
496
00:27:36,146 --> 00:27:39,004
they try to loosen the clothing
around their neck and chest.
497
00:27:39,109 --> 00:27:41,303
Look at that guy over there.
498
00:27:41,407 --> 00:27:43,957
He has his shirt buttoned
all the way to the top.
499
00:27:44,061 --> 00:27:46,017
This isn't asphyxiation or heart attack.
500
00:27:48,493 --> 00:27:50,757
Well, the survivor we saw
501
00:27:50,862 --> 00:27:52,545
was over near the retrieval vehicle.
502
00:28:13,932 --> 00:28:14,911
Dr. Noyce.
503
00:28:15,015 --> 00:28:17,843
Take a look.
504
00:28:19,786 --> 00:28:21,966
Look at the way he fell
505
00:28:22,070 --> 00:28:23,837
and broke his nose
on the steering wheel.
506
00:28:26,763 --> 00:28:28,270
There's no blood.
507
00:28:28,375 --> 00:28:30,332
A wound like that
should bleed profusely.
508
00:28:30,436 --> 00:28:32,180
Not one of the corpses we've seen,
509
00:28:32,284 --> 00:28:34,193
including the bird food
back there, were bleeders.
510
00:28:45,224 --> 00:28:47,892
- What is it?
- I thought I heard something.
511
00:28:47,996 --> 00:28:50,107
Don't get sketchy on us, doc.
512
00:28:50,211 --> 00:28:53,709
We have a survivor
on tape, remember?
513
00:28:53,813 --> 00:28:56,446
Major, there's a G.P.S. tracking
device in the shotgun seat.
514
00:28:56,551 --> 00:28:59,599
It should still be locked
in on the satellite.
515
00:28:59,702 --> 00:29:01,849
Sorry, boy, I gotta get in there.
516
00:29:01,954 --> 00:29:04,290
Bill, have a little respect.
517
00:29:04,394 --> 00:29:07,511
How about we do our job
and get out of here?
518
00:29:12,238 --> 00:29:14,039
Yeah, it's working.
519
00:29:20,307 --> 00:29:22,786
Looks like we're close.
520
00:29:22,890 --> 00:29:25,971
Pull over here.
521
00:30:23,116 --> 00:30:25,178
There it is.
522
00:30:29,869 --> 00:30:34,634
Unbelievable.
They opened it.
523
00:30:39,361 --> 00:30:42,029
Angela, can you check his lividity?
524
00:30:42,133 --> 00:30:46,270
Okay.
525
00:30:46,375 --> 00:30:47,883
Give me a hand, Bill.
526
00:30:47,987 --> 00:30:51,293
One, two, three.
527
00:30:54,895 --> 00:30:56,921
Easy, easy.
528
00:30:58,235 --> 00:30:59,861
Dead for hours-
529
00:30:59,965 --> 00:31:02,705
Distended arteries, no bruising.
530
00:31:02,808 --> 00:31:05,476
Look at an artery, would you?
Check his radial.
531
00:31:27,312 --> 00:31:28,293
Clotted solid.
532
00:31:28,397 --> 00:31:31,899
What does that?
533
00:31:55,453 --> 00:31:57,860
Is there a problem, officer?
534
00:31:57,964 --> 00:32:01,081
License and registration, please.
535
00:32:06,259 --> 00:32:07,765
Nice bike.
536
00:32:07,869 --> 00:32:12,754
It's a 1951 FL Panhead.
I did the restoration myself.
537
00:32:12,858 --> 00:32:15,456
- Beautiful.
- Tank shift, foot clutch-
538
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,141
You don't see those anymore.
539
00:32:19,245 --> 00:32:21,272
You are Jonathan Scott?
540
00:32:21,376 --> 00:32:24,269
Yes, sir. I-l just
gave it new tires.
541
00:32:59,126 --> 00:33:01,119
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
542
00:33:01,223 --> 00:33:02,169
- Is your husband watching?
- Yes.
543
00:33:02,273 --> 00:33:05,171
- And the family?
- I hope so.
544
00:33:05,276 --> 00:33:07,909
Would you like to say hello
to them out there?
545
00:33:08,013 --> 00:33:09,294
Um...
546
00:33:48,690 --> 00:33:50,280
I've seen enough.
547
00:33:50,384 --> 00:33:52,673
We should nuke this place
and be done with it.
548
00:33:52,776 --> 00:33:56,310
You're not serious. Under the
Wildfire protocols, directive 7-12,
549
00:33:56,415 --> 00:33:57,775
a limited nuclear strike
is a contingency.
550
00:33:57,879 --> 00:34:01,677
- I agree with Bill.
- Ditto. Why mess around?
551
00:34:01,781 --> 00:34:04,604
Because it's premature until
we know what we're dealing with.
552
00:34:04,709 --> 00:34:06,543
You're all forgetting that we have a
survivor on tape.
553
00:34:06,646 --> 00:34:07,342
Yeah, nine hours ago.
554
00:34:07,446 --> 00:34:09,332
Maybe they're dead now
555
00:34:09,436 --> 00:34:11,394
having drowned themselves
or burned themselves
556
00:34:11,499 --> 00:34:13,454
or cut their own freakin' heads off.
557
00:34:41,819 --> 00:34:44,037
Hi. You're okay. Shh.
558
00:34:44,141 --> 00:34:46,756
Shh. It's okay.
Hi.
559
00:34:46,860 --> 00:34:51,430
She must be hungry.
560
00:34:51,534 --> 00:34:53,231
There's some baby formula here.
561
00:34:53,335 --> 00:34:55,256
No, no. Don't-don't-
Don't feed her.
562
00:34:55,361 --> 00:34:58,220
Don't-don't do anything
until we get her out of here.
563
00:34:58,324 --> 00:34:59,292
Maybe feeding's part
of the disease process,
564
00:34:59,396 --> 00:35:02,047
or there was something
protective in her diet.
565
00:35:02,151 --> 00:35:04,036
We can't take the chance.
566
00:35:04,140 --> 00:35:06,513
We have to get her
into a lab right away.
567
00:35:06,617 --> 00:35:09,775
It's too bad she can't tell us
what happened.
568
00:35:09,879 --> 00:35:10,848
Maybe she can.
569
00:35:20,540 --> 00:35:21,407
You leave that baby here!
570
00:35:21,511 --> 00:35:25,460
You got-got no right to-
571
00:35:25,564 --> 00:35:28,194
Ow!
572
00:35:30,220 --> 00:35:33,078
You all right?
573
00:35:33,182 --> 00:35:36,716
Don't-don't touch me.
Just worried about your suit.
574
00:35:36,820 --> 00:35:40,576
Let's l-stat him and get out of here.
575
00:36:09,618 --> 00:36:13,186
We're coming into the lab
with two survivors-
576
00:36:13,290 --> 00:36:14,667
An adult male and an infant female.
577
00:36:14,771 --> 00:36:18,102
I will recommend to the president
578
00:36:18,207 --> 00:36:19,310
that he order a limited nuclear
strike.
579
00:36:19,414 --> 00:36:19,940
Negative. Negative.
580
00:36:20,044 --> 00:36:21,929
We need to figure out
581
00:36:22,033 --> 00:36:24,198
what the hell we're dealing
with first.
582
00:36:24,302 --> 00:36:24,892
I disagree.
583
00:36:24,997 --> 00:36:26,882
What we're dealing with
induces death,
584
00:36:26,986 --> 00:36:28,044
suicide or homicidal behavior
within minutes.
585
00:36:28,148 --> 00:36:31,646
You have as much time
as the president gives you,
586
00:36:31,750 --> 00:36:33,706
and that's it.
587
00:36:56,443 --> 00:36:58,174
What about our survivors?
588
00:36:58,279 --> 00:36:59,224
They'll be taken
along with the satellite
589
00:36:59,328 --> 00:37:02,001
into the lab
through a separate entrance.
590
00:37:02,105 --> 00:37:03,726
Dr. Chou and Dr. Barton
will be waiting for us.
591
00:37:03,830 --> 00:37:07,666
We have no choice now, Chuck.
This thing is scary.
592
00:37:07,770 --> 00:37:09,881
Our safest option
is the nuke the site,
593
00:37:09,985 --> 00:37:12,132
and only the president
can authorize a nuclear.
594
00:37:12,235 --> 00:37:14,870
You promised us there would be
no problems with Project Scoop.
595
00:37:14,974 --> 00:37:17,085
You know as well I as I do
there are no guarantees
596
00:37:17,189 --> 00:37:19,405
on something like this, so
calm down and let me handle it.
597
00:37:25,033 --> 00:37:27,926
Pretty impressive
security measures here.
598
00:37:28,031 --> 00:37:28,715
Better than they look.
599
00:37:28,819 --> 00:37:31,942
Killer pine trees?
600
00:37:32,047 --> 00:37:34,089
We've been under
continuous observation
601
00:37:34,193 --> 00:37:35,544
by satellite and ground sensors
602
00:37:35,649 --> 00:37:37,879
since the moment
the helicopter dropped us off.
603
00:37:37,984 --> 00:37:40,984
There's at least one armed
predator overhead at all times.
604
00:37:41,088 --> 00:37:44,169
If we were a menace,
we'd be dead by now.
605
00:37:59,561 --> 00:38:01,659
Dr. Stone, long time, no see.
606
00:38:01,763 --> 00:38:03,496
Same to you, George.
How's your daughter?
607
00:38:03,601 --> 00:38:05,185
13 going on 35.
Hello, Dr. Stone.
608
00:38:05,289 --> 00:38:08,340
Access approved.
609
00:38:28,293 --> 00:38:30,249
Grouped around a central utility core,
610
00:38:30,353 --> 00:38:32,987
at the bottom of which
is our power source.
611
00:38:33,092 --> 00:38:35,463
A small water-cooled nuclear reactor.
612
00:38:35,567 --> 00:38:38,129
And the pool hours are...
613
00:38:38,233 --> 00:38:41,280
hey, at 5,000 to 8,000 rem,
even a small exposure
614
00:38:41,385 --> 00:38:43,794
would result in disorientation
or coma within minutes,
615
00:38:43,898 --> 00:38:45,144
but, hey, knock yourself out.
616
00:38:45,248 --> 00:38:48,710
Now the top two levels
617
00:38:48,814 --> 00:38:50,736
are for service and maintenance crew.
618
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,010
They live on-site
in 3-month rotational cycles
619
00:38:52,115 --> 00:38:55,049
under the highest levels
of security clearance.
620
00:38:55,153 --> 00:38:56,814
The bottom three levels
621
00:38:56,918 --> 00:38:59,552
are the actual heart of the facility-
622
00:38:59,657 --> 00:39:00,790
The laboratory itself
623
00:39:00,894 --> 00:39:03,946
and culture equipment.
624
00:39:05,889 --> 00:39:10,583
Decontamination and containment
are second to none.
625
00:39:10,687 --> 00:39:12,500
It's safe to remove your helmets.
626
00:39:23,448 --> 00:39:25,216
Oral antibiotics to kill off any flora
627
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:29,526
that we might be carrying internally.
628
00:39:34,029 --> 00:39:35,797
Now decontaminating the body externally
629
00:39:35,901 --> 00:39:37,787
is a bit more dramatic.
630
00:39:37,890 --> 00:39:38,949
You're gonna have follow
directions closely.
631
00:39:39,053 --> 00:39:41,958
Taking a shortcut could
prove to be fatal.
632
00:39:42,063 --> 00:39:43,414
Once you're ready,
633
00:39:43,518 --> 00:39:47,987
you'll establish your identity
using a retinal scan.
634
00:41:13,308 --> 00:41:15,123
That was some spa.
635
00:41:15,227 --> 00:41:17,291
We do have our amenities.
636
00:41:17,395 --> 00:41:19,804
Now we each have our own
private sleeping quarters,
637
00:41:19,908 --> 00:41:22,243
though we might not see much of them.
638
00:41:22,347 --> 00:41:25,170
The dining area and gymnasium,
which never close.
639
00:41:25,275 --> 00:41:27,908
Now the badges you're wearing
provide voice-controlled access
640
00:41:28,012 --> 00:41:30,385
to the computer system
and the lab equipment.
641
00:41:30,489 --> 00:41:32,149
They also monitor any radiation
642
00:41:32,254 --> 00:41:34,625
or possible contamination
you might face
643
00:41:34,729 --> 00:41:37,588
and provide inter-lab
communication and recording.
644
00:41:37,692 --> 00:41:39,422
You need to wear them at all times.
645
00:41:40,998 --> 00:41:43,405
As painstaking as the entrance is,
646
00:41:43,509 --> 00:41:45,918
I promise you,
it's much harder to get out.
647
00:41:46,023 --> 00:41:47,907
Each level is self-sealing,
and egress
648
00:41:48,011 --> 00:41:50,871
is only through authorization
from the level above.
649
00:41:50,975 --> 00:41:52,410
Communication with the outside
650
00:41:52,514 --> 00:41:54,556
is via secure fiber-optic
phone lines and high-speed LAN.
651
00:41:54,661 --> 00:41:56,463
We can contact our families?
652
00:41:56,566 --> 00:41:58,488
Yes, but communication
is only one-way.
653
00:41:58,592 --> 00:41:59,805
Any personal urgent calls
coming into the faculty
654
00:41:59,909 --> 00:42:01,659
are rerouted directly
through the comm center.
655
00:42:01,763 --> 00:42:05,242
Of course, your privacy
will be respected,
656
00:42:05,346 --> 00:42:07,304
but the priority here
must remain the security.
657
00:42:07,409 --> 00:42:09,294
There should be no discussion whatsoever
658
00:42:09,398 --> 00:42:12,257
- about what we're working on.
- What happens in the event
659
00:42:12,361 --> 00:42:14,021
of an accidental contamination?
660
00:42:14,126 --> 00:42:15,906
Hatch and seal, like a submarine.
661
00:42:16,010 --> 00:42:17,476
In the event
of an overwhelming breach,
662
00:42:17,581 --> 00:42:21,070
the lab is built atop a nuclear device.
663
00:42:25,573 --> 00:42:27,790
I've just armed that system.
664
00:42:27,895 --> 00:42:29,105
Once it's activated,
665
00:42:29,210 --> 00:42:32,032
there's a 15-minute countdown
to detonation.
666
00:42:32,136 --> 00:42:34,958
You gotta be shittin' me.
I'm sure the chances of an accident
667
00:42:35,062 --> 00:42:38,371
in such a beautifully designed facility
are too small to be significant,
668
00:42:38,476 --> 00:42:39,947
but if there should be a mistake...
669
00:42:40,051 --> 00:42:41,002
there is a fail-safe plan.
670
00:42:41,107 --> 00:42:44,188
Dr. Keene is our odd man.
671
00:42:44,293 --> 00:42:45,463
- Please insert your card.
- Odd man?
672
00:42:45,567 --> 00:42:49,886
Place your thumb upon the panel.
673
00:42:51,913 --> 00:42:53,727
To abort the self-destruct sequence,
674
00:42:53,831 --> 00:42:55,931
Bill I.D. s himself
via thumbprint and his card.
675
00:42:56,035 --> 00:42:58,596
There's a panel
like this on every level.
676
00:42:58,701 --> 00:42:59,257
- Why Bill?
677
00:42:59,361 --> 00:43:01,690
The army ran an extensive
battery of tests,
678
00:43:01,794 --> 00:43:04,936
and determined that unmarried
males were more likely
679
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,061
to make the right choice
during a crisis.
680
00:43:06,166 --> 00:43:09,177
In our particular case,
the right decision
681
00:43:09,282 --> 00:43:11,690
is to not prematurely abort
the self-destruction sequence.
682
00:43:11,794 --> 00:43:12,763
So you were looking for the man
683
00:43:12,866 --> 00:43:15,776
most likely to kill himself and us.
684
00:43:18,927 --> 00:43:20,884
Cool.
685
00:43:20,988 --> 00:43:23,654
I feel so reassured.
686
00:43:29,959 --> 00:43:32,935
The omission was not deliberate, sir.
687
00:43:33,039 --> 00:43:34,841
This is one of those programs
688
00:43:34,946 --> 00:43:38,029
that was initiated years ago
by a previous administration.
689
00:43:38,134 --> 00:43:39,267
It's just one of a number of platforms
690
00:43:39,371 --> 00:43:42,045
we have exploring the singularity.
691
00:43:42,150 --> 00:43:45,684
Oh, and now, as a consequence, you
want me to drop a nuclear bomb on Utah?
692
00:43:45,787 --> 00:43:47,390
That would be general Mancheck's
recommendation, sir.
693
00:43:47,494 --> 00:43:52,437
It's a limited low-yield
tactical device, Mr. President -
694
00:43:52,542 --> 00:43:56,536
- less than a kiloton.
- Oh, is that all?
695
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,515
We have ongoing test ban
treaty negotiations
696
00:43:58,620 --> 00:44:00,730
with the Russians
and the Chinese.
697
00:44:00,835 --> 00:44:02,568
We're still trying to
get North Korea and Iran
698
00:44:02,672 --> 00:44:03,598
to abort their nuclear programs.
699
00:44:03,703 --> 00:44:07,070
How am I gonna explain this to them?
700
00:44:07,174 --> 00:44:09,096
Additionally, Mr. President,
701
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:10,861
not to be crass...
702
00:44:10,965 --> 00:44:12,923
that's your job, Pat.
Weigh right in.
703
00:44:13,028 --> 00:44:15,813
Nuke Utah for whatever reason,
704
00:44:15,918 --> 00:44:18,185
and you can kiss
your reelection good-bye.
705
00:44:18,289 --> 00:44:19,866
What does Dr. Stone recommend?
706
00:44:19,970 --> 00:44:22,603
The Wildfire team
is divided over the issue.
707
00:44:22,708 --> 00:44:25,494
That wasn't my question.
708
00:44:25,598 --> 00:44:29,582
Dr. Stone would prefer
more time to examine Andromeda.
709
00:44:29,686 --> 00:44:30,896
I should add, Mr. President,
710
00:44:31,001 --> 00:44:32,510
that while no one is sure
of the origin of this infection,
711
00:44:32,613 --> 00:44:37,095
we do know that a North Korean
satellite was in in the area
712
00:44:37,199 --> 00:44:39,227
just prior to our bird going down.
713
00:44:39,331 --> 00:44:41,202
What, you're saying
this was an aggression,
714
00:44:41,305 --> 00:44:41,576
Chuck?
715
00:44:41,626 --> 00:44:42,949
Why would the Koreans do that?
716
00:44:43,052 --> 00:44:46,467
The Pyongyang regime has always
been a loose cannon, sir.
717
00:44:46,570 --> 00:44:49,026
I'm not prepared to go to war
on a hunch
718
00:44:49,131 --> 00:44:50,128
and some half-baked intelligence.
719
00:44:50,232 --> 00:44:52,959
If I authorize it, how quickly
720
00:44:53,063 --> 00:44:57,080
can you call that strike
on Piedmont, general?
721
00:45:00,091 --> 00:45:03,243
Let's give Dr. Stone
some time to do his work.
722
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,546
You lied to me about that satellite.
723
00:45:12,390 --> 00:45:13,979
"Need to know," Ed.
724
00:45:14,083 --> 00:45:16,371
If you ever lie to me again, Chuck,
725
00:45:16,476 --> 00:45:17,421
and homeland security
might just stumble
726
00:45:17,526 --> 00:45:21,619
over on of your little
"off the book" ops.
727
00:45:24,059 --> 00:45:25,188
Why did you push
the Korean scenario?
728
00:45:25,292 --> 00:45:28,611
You said yourself it was a possibility.
729
00:45:28,716 --> 00:45:32,025
But unlikely. You know
something I don't, Chuck?
730
00:45:32,129 --> 00:45:35,802
Just do your job, general.
Let me do mine.
731
00:45:39,855 --> 00:45:42,781
Yes, sir.
I- I just gave it new tires...
732
00:45:53,136 --> 00:45:54,004
- Henderson.
- Charlie? Nash here.
733
00:45:54,107 --> 00:45:57,119
I got a tip from my army source.
734
00:45:57,223 --> 00:45:59,595
Units of the Salt Lake city
national guard
735
00:45:59,699 --> 00:46:02,783
are suddenly being deployed for
a "training exercise related
736
00:46:02,887 --> 00:46:04,401
to immigration and border security."
737
00:46:04,506 --> 00:46:07,925
Odd thing is, according to my source,
738
00:46:08,029 --> 00:46:10,746
the order originated directly
from the office of Chuck Beeter.
739
00:46:10,851 --> 00:46:13,140
The director of the N.S.A.
doesn't have the authority
740
00:46:13,243 --> 00:46:15,354
to call out the national
guard. Fancy that.
741
00:46:15,458 --> 00:46:18,092
Oh, also, something's happened
to my original source on Scoop.
742
00:46:18,196 --> 00:46:20,343
He left me some weird message
that cut out abruptly.
743
00:46:20,447 --> 00:46:21,931
If I-if I text you his particulars,
744
00:46:22,035 --> 00:46:24,359
can you pull the phone records,
745
00:46:24,463 --> 00:46:26,610
- tell me where the call came from?
- Sure.
746
00:46:26,715 --> 00:46:29,348
I'll see what I can do. And you
check in with me regular, Nash,
747
00:46:29,452 --> 00:46:30,815
and watch yourself.
748
00:46:38,386 --> 00:46:41,588
We're obviously dealing with
some kind of infectious agent,
749
00:46:41,692 --> 00:46:44,431
whether it's viral,
fungal, bacteriological,
750
00:46:44,535 --> 00:46:46,421
parasitic or prion,
we just don't know.
751
00:46:46,525 --> 00:46:48,187
To complicate things,
the latest weather report
752
00:46:48,291 --> 00:46:51,860
indicates a possible
Santa Anna weather condition
753
00:46:51,964 --> 00:46:54,526
developing within the next 48 hours.
754
00:46:54,630 --> 00:46:57,121
Those winds could conceivably
sweep the contagion
755
00:46:57,226 --> 00:46:59,253
towards Southern California.
756
00:46:59,357 --> 00:47:01,954
Charlie Henderson from NNT called
757
00:47:02,058 --> 00:47:03,342
about the Utah guard rollout
and the rumors
758
00:47:03,446 --> 00:47:05,385
that it originated
out of Beeter's office.
759
00:47:05,489 --> 00:47:10,096
Unbelievable.
This place leaks like a sieve.
760
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,108
It's sooner than we might like,
761
00:47:11,213 --> 00:47:13,969
but not entirely unexpected.
762
00:47:14,073 --> 00:47:16,399
In any case, I think
we can stall Henderson.
763
00:47:16,503 --> 00:47:18,697
Maybe this would be
a good opportunity
764
00:47:18,801 --> 00:47:22,702
to offer NNT an exclusive
about your reelection campaign.
765
00:47:22,806 --> 00:47:24,953
You know, kill two birds with one stone.
766
00:47:25,058 --> 00:47:26,096
Henderson is not the real problem.
767
00:47:26,201 --> 00:47:28,969
He can be leveraged, but Nash-
768
00:47:29,074 --> 00:47:30,356
Nash is different.
Nash is a bulldog.
769
00:47:30,461 --> 00:47:33,697
Have you located his sources yet?
770
00:47:33,801 --> 00:47:36,032
He's gone to ground,
but we're closing in.
771
00:47:36,136 --> 00:47:38,686
The problem is, if Nash
gets in contact with Stone,
772
00:47:38,790 --> 00:47:40,450
there's gonna be no way
773
00:47:40,555 --> 00:47:42,964
to keep Project Scoop out of the press.
774
00:47:43,068 --> 00:47:44,848
Can't we just impose a gag order
775
00:47:44,952 --> 00:47:46,162
on the Wildfire team?
776
00:47:46,266 --> 00:47:48,624
That ain't gonna be pretty.
777
00:47:50,876 --> 00:47:54,219
Of course, sometimes these
communication systems
778
00:47:54,324 --> 00:47:56,743
suffer from mechanical failure.
779
00:47:56,847 --> 00:47:59,848
I say we go nuclear
and sterilize the whole area.
780
00:47:59,952 --> 00:48:01,612
Fortunately, you're not in charge.
781
00:48:01,716 --> 00:48:03,758
The final call, please
correct me if I'm wrong,
782
00:48:03,863 --> 00:48:05,509
is the president's.
783
00:48:07,843 --> 00:48:10,428
Dr. Stone, please contact
the communications officer.
784
00:48:10,533 --> 00:48:11,742
Dr. Noyce is right.
785
00:48:11,847 --> 00:48:13,129
Our job is to employ
the best science we can
786
00:48:13,234 --> 00:48:16,732
so the president has
the information he needs
787
00:48:16,836 --> 00:48:18,271
to make a decision.
788
00:48:18,375 --> 00:48:20,784
Now why don't you all
get started on the satellite?
789
00:48:20,888 --> 00:48:22,618
I'll be in in a minute.
790
00:48:31,812 --> 00:48:33,888
Call for Dr. Stone.
791
00:48:33,992 --> 00:48:37,443
We're having a problem
with the communication system.
792
00:48:37,547 --> 00:48:39,883
Now we're okay within the lab,
793
00:48:39,987 --> 00:48:42,395
but I can't raise the outside at all.
794
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:46,114
Computer, phones - nada.
795
00:48:57,738 --> 00:48:59,327
Okay.
796
00:48:59,432 --> 00:49:00,898
So we'll be entering the capsule
through the compartment door,
797
00:49:01,002 --> 00:49:05,667
which was originally removed
by Piedmont's late fire chief.
798
00:49:05,771 --> 00:49:07,657
I think it's safe to conclude
799
00:49:07,761 --> 00:49:09,636
that Andromeda was originally
inside the capsule,
800
00:49:09,740 --> 00:49:11,626
otherwise the citizens
who recovered it
801
00:49:11,730 --> 00:49:13,651
would never have made it
back to town alive.
802
00:49:13,755 --> 00:49:16,056
What did Mancheck say the
satellite was doing?
803
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:16,840
He didn't say.
804
00:49:16,944 --> 00:49:18,829
Apparently, we're experiencing
805
00:49:18,933 --> 00:49:21,200
some kind of technical glitch
within our communication system.
806
00:49:21,305 --> 00:49:23,107
Glitch?
I don't like glitch.
807
00:49:23,211 --> 00:49:25,253
All external computer
and communication lines
808
00:49:25,357 --> 00:49:27,384
are down, but I've been assured
809
00:49:27,488 --> 00:49:28,771
that they're gonna have them up
and running as soon as possible.
810
00:49:28,876 --> 00:49:33,807
- Please, Dr. Chou, continue.
- Uh, well, this is not a new satellite.
811
00:49:33,912 --> 00:49:36,876
I would say it's at least
two to three generations old.
812
00:49:36,980 --> 00:49:38,902
And from what I can
tell from the exterior,
813
00:49:39,006 --> 00:49:40,928
it wasn't designed
for communications,
814
00:49:41,032 --> 00:49:42,918
navigations or surveillance.
815
00:49:43,021 --> 00:49:46,106
In fact, what it appears to be is a
biocontainment vessel.
816
00:49:46,210 --> 00:49:49,979
Son of a bitch.
817
00:49:50,083 --> 00:49:52,860
Well, it's very damn odd.
It means that it was designed
818
00:49:52,964 --> 00:49:54,886
to capture and retain
biological materials.
819
00:49:54,990 --> 00:49:59,089
Which means two things-
820
00:49:59,193 --> 00:50:00,945
And the second thing?
821
00:50:01,049 --> 00:50:03,224
Mancheck is lying.
822
00:50:03,328 --> 00:50:06,781
So it was what?
823
00:50:06,885 --> 00:50:07,943
Randomly collecting
bio samples in space?
824
00:50:08,047 --> 00:50:12,446
- What are the chances of that?
- Slim to none.
825
00:50:12,549 --> 00:50:14,504
Let's pop it open.
826
00:50:43,734 --> 00:50:46,889
Wait. Go back.
827
00:50:46,994 --> 00:50:47,789
Stop it.
828
00:50:47,894 --> 00:50:50,299
Zoom in.
829
00:50:53,902 --> 00:50:55,219
Could that material be Andromeda?
830
00:50:55,323 --> 00:50:58,784
That's still to be determined.
831
00:50:58,888 --> 00:51:00,585
If that's what knocked
the satellite down,
832
00:51:00,690 --> 00:51:03,773
it must have been moving
at a tremendous rate of speed
833
00:51:03,878 --> 00:51:05,988
or be incredibly heavy.
How could that be?
834
00:51:06,093 --> 00:51:07,375
It didn't do that much damage
to the satellite.
835
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,203
Maybe it has elastic qualities
we don't know about.
836
00:51:11,307 --> 00:51:12,967
For now, let's assume
this is Andromeda.
837
00:51:13,071 --> 00:51:15,930
Bill and Charlene, you check
the pathology of this thing.
838
00:51:16,034 --> 00:51:17,298
See if you can figure out how it kills.
839
00:51:17,402 --> 00:51:20,657
Dr. Noyce, you examine our survivors.
840
00:51:20,762 --> 00:51:22,422
Find out what kept them alive.
841
00:51:22,526 --> 00:51:25,610
Dr. Chou, you and I will test
the black substance in Andromeda
842
00:51:25,714 --> 00:51:27,600
for what conditions
each likes and dislikes.
843
00:51:27,704 --> 00:51:30,596
See if we can't I.D. their
nature and their structure.
844
00:51:49,057 --> 00:51:51,688
So, sergeant George, you
and the men of Bravo company
845
00:51:51,792 --> 00:51:54,211
have no idea then what this
sudden call-up is about.
846
00:51:54,316 --> 00:51:54,651
No, sir.
847
00:51:54,756 --> 00:51:57,091
They pretty much tell us
to show up
848
00:51:57,195 --> 00:51:59,687
and we find out what the deal
is when we get there.
849
00:51:59,792 --> 00:52:01,143
Meanwhile, the pentagon insists
850
00:52:01,248 --> 00:52:03,395
this sudden alert
of the Utah national guard
851
00:52:03,498 --> 00:52:05,682
is nothing more than
a routine training exercise.
852
00:52:05,786 --> 00:52:07,305
No further details are forthcoming,
853
00:52:07,409 --> 00:52:10,185
including when this deployment
will be over.
854
00:52:10,289 --> 00:52:15,620
When have we heard that before?
855
00:52:23,725 --> 00:52:25,907
Computer, patient number one,
856
00:52:26,010 --> 00:52:29,770
according to documents
found on him, is Kyle Tobler-
857
00:52:29,874 --> 00:52:31,985
Male, 60 years old,
858
00:52:32,089 --> 00:52:35,137
Undernourished,
possibly anemic.
859
00:52:35,241 --> 00:52:37,458
Computer, has he responded
since arrival?
860
00:52:44,851 --> 00:52:46,688
Basolyte test results?
861
00:52:48,039 --> 00:52:50,670
Kyle Tobler is a G.I.
Bleeder.
862
00:52:50,774 --> 00:52:53,409
I want two units of
whole blood, plus plasma,
863
00:52:53,513 --> 00:52:54,948
And vitamin K for him
864
00:52:55,052 --> 00:52:57,493
and a complete blood workup
on both patients.
865
00:53:05,824 --> 00:53:08,074
You're gonna be okay,
sweetie. I promise.
866
00:53:11,226 --> 00:53:14,534
Hey, Charlie.
What's up?
867
00:53:14,637 --> 00:53:16,821
I've got some bad news
about your friend.
868
00:53:16,925 --> 00:53:18,669
He's dead.
869
00:53:18,773 --> 00:53:21,324
I'll text you the details
in a moment.
870
00:53:21,428 --> 00:53:23,158
I'm sorry.
871
00:54:10,433 --> 00:54:12,165
Time - ten seconds.
872
00:54:12,269 --> 00:54:14,191
Damn, this thing is lethal.
873
00:54:14,295 --> 00:54:17,154
And airborne, if there was any doubt.
874
00:54:17,258 --> 00:54:19,297
Let's check it.
875
00:54:19,889 --> 00:54:25,117
Most John Does we get
don't drive a Harley Panhead.
876
00:54:25,221 --> 00:54:28,410
Lucky for him you remember that.
877
00:54:28,515 --> 00:54:30,483
Yeah.
878
00:54:30,588 --> 00:54:31,716
Lucky for him.
879
00:54:31,820 --> 00:54:35,803
This your friend?
880
00:54:35,907 --> 00:54:39,442
I don't know if you know anybody
in the family or anything,
881
00:54:39,545 --> 00:54:42,451
But, uh, if his bike's
available now, you know,
882
00:54:42,556 --> 00:54:44,428
I'd love to buy it.
883
00:54:50,055 --> 00:54:53,207
No harm in askin', right?
884
00:54:54,558 --> 00:54:56,584
Removing contaminated air.
885
00:55:26,301 --> 00:55:28,032
Dead animals are not infectious.
886
00:55:28,135 --> 00:55:31,445
That's an extremely
unusual adaptation
887
00:55:31,548 --> 00:55:33,434
if that's what that is.
888
00:55:33,538 --> 00:55:36,481
Well, we know Andromeda
coagulates the blood,
889
00:55:36,585 --> 00:55:38,436
but how does it enter the body -
890
00:55:38,540 --> 00:55:41,314
Through the lungs or the skin?
891
00:55:41,418 --> 00:55:42,476
We can radioactively tag
some blood proteins
892
00:55:42,580 --> 00:55:46,161
and scan the animals
on their initial exposures.
893
00:55:46,265 --> 00:55:48,067
Let's start with a rhesus.
894
00:55:48,172 --> 00:55:51,481
So you think Mancheck
deliberately isolated us?
895
00:55:51,585 --> 00:55:53,696
Let's just say
896
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,946
I wouldn't put it past him.
897
00:55:56,051 --> 00:55:58,910
Have you told the others?
I don't want them distracted.
898
00:55:59,014 --> 00:56:01,644
There's so little time as it is.
Why tell me?
899
00:56:04,571 --> 00:56:08,365
I guess because I needed
somebody to talk to,
900
00:56:08,469 --> 00:56:10,424
somebody I trust.
901
00:56:12,901 --> 00:56:15,307
Mmm. Are you making
any progress?
902
00:56:15,411 --> 00:56:17,867
Yes, the infant's
blood work is normal,
903
00:56:17,971 --> 00:56:20,296
and Tobler's anemic,
and his PH is very acidic.
904
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:21,835
I don't know why.
905
00:56:21,940 --> 00:56:24,382
Why don't you go ask him?
906
00:56:29,335 --> 00:56:31,514
- George, this is Dr. Stone.
- Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
907
00:56:31,618 --> 00:56:33,015
We're having some kind of
communications problem down here
908
00:56:33,119 --> 00:56:36,505
and I need your help.
Do you got a cell phone that works?
909
00:56:36,610 --> 00:56:39,015
Yeah, my wife got me
this new Blackberry.
910
00:57:04,868 --> 00:57:07,310
Jack, it's Jeremy Stone.
911
00:57:07,415 --> 00:57:10,012
I need to talk to you.
It's urgent.
912
00:57:10,117 --> 00:57:11,430
I'll try to call back in one hour.
Damn it!
913
00:57:55,403 --> 00:57:58,759
Aah!
Who the hell are you?
914
00:57:58,863 --> 00:57:59,860
Where am I?
915
00:57:59,965 --> 00:58:02,774
I'm Dr. Noyce.
916
00:58:02,878 --> 00:58:03,895
You were bleeding
very badly internally,
917
00:58:03,999 --> 00:58:07,988
and we had to give
you a transfusion.
918
00:58:08,093 --> 00:58:10,203
What happened in Piedmont?
919
00:58:10,308 --> 00:58:11,436
There was an outbreak of disease.
920
00:58:11,540 --> 00:58:15,334
That's why we brought you here.
921
00:58:15,439 --> 00:58:16,347
Am I contagious?
922
00:58:16,451 --> 00:58:19,434
We don't think so,
923
00:58:19,538 --> 00:58:21,896
but we don't want
to take any chances.
924
00:58:36,755 --> 00:58:40,132
Initiating the scintillometer
and exposing the subject.
925
00:59:01,293 --> 00:59:03,474
Definitely inspired by the lungs,
926
00:59:03,578 --> 00:59:05,537
Andromeda then crosses
into the bloodstream
927
00:59:05,641 --> 00:59:08,202
and begins coagulation.
928
00:59:08,306 --> 00:59:09,477
But is that how it actually kills?
929
00:59:09,581 --> 00:59:14,505
Could it be a single cerebral clot?
930
00:59:14,610 --> 00:59:16,456
Maybe an anticoagulant
could stop this thing?
931
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:20,484
Let's repeat with something
like Heparin.
932
00:59:20,588 --> 00:59:21,034
Okay.
933
00:59:21,138 --> 00:59:23,997
I want to get these tissues
samples out to the lab first.
934
00:59:24,101 --> 00:59:26,971
Computer, sample and stain
with H&E and P.A. s.
935
00:59:27,075 --> 00:59:30,075
I also would like sections
of the nerve tissue stained
936
00:59:30,180 --> 00:59:32,410
with both nissl
and cajal gold preparations.
937
00:59:32,515 --> 00:59:33,666
The black material is artificial.
938
00:59:33,770 --> 00:59:35,604
What do you mean?
A construct?
939
00:59:35,708 --> 00:59:39,944
Yeah, at first it appears to have
940
00:59:40,048 --> 00:59:41,444
a complex lattice-like
microstructure of carbon fibers.
941
00:59:41,548 --> 00:59:46,318
Further analysis reveals
a structure of buckyballs.
942
00:59:49,695 --> 00:59:52,184
Well, that would explain
how the contact
943
00:59:52,288 --> 00:59:53,529
drove the satellite out of orbit
without damaging it,
944
00:59:53,634 --> 00:59:57,315
but isn't this kind of
application still theoretical?
945
00:59:57,419 --> 00:59:59,341
Yeah. This is nanotechnology
light-years ahead
946
00:59:59,446 --> 01:00:01,593
of anything anyone
is doing right now.
947
01:00:01,697 --> 01:00:03,202
What about the other material?
948
01:00:16,259 --> 01:00:17,610
Did you see that?
949
01:00:19,719 --> 01:00:22,387
That must be our infectious agent.
950
01:00:22,492 --> 01:00:23,913
Computer, replay.
951
01:00:25,939 --> 01:00:27,290
That's Andromeda.
952
01:00:45,075 --> 01:00:46,054
Did anybody else make it?
953
01:00:46,159 --> 01:00:50,786
Just you and the baby.
954
01:00:55,656 --> 01:00:57,536
That's Sylvie.
It's the Ritter kid.
955
01:00:57,639 --> 01:01:01,926
Not used to her being so quiet.
956
01:01:02,030 --> 01:01:03,163
She's one little yeller.
957
01:01:03,268 --> 01:01:07,137
Cries to beat the band.
958
01:01:09,388 --> 01:01:10,255
Nobody else made it?
959
01:01:10,359 --> 01:01:12,990
No, I'm afraid not.
960
01:01:22,445 --> 01:01:25,421
This-this place
is giving me the creeps.
961
01:01:25,526 --> 01:01:27,411
I want-l want to get out of here.
962
01:01:27,515 --> 01:01:29,354
You're not well enough
to go anywhere.
963
01:01:29,458 --> 01:01:31,500
I know my rights!
I- I-I'm no damn terrorist.
964
01:01:31,604 --> 01:01:34,151
You're in quarantine.
965
01:01:36,177 --> 01:01:39,296
Well-well, give me
a cigarette then.
966
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,285
Sorry, no smoking.
967
01:01:41,390 --> 01:01:44,154
Oh, yeah, I've heard
that bullshit before-
968
01:01:44,259 --> 01:01:47,815
No smokin', no drinkin',
no Mexican food.
969
01:01:47,918 --> 01:01:49,840
What's the point of livin' like that?
It's damn boring.
970
01:01:49,944 --> 01:01:52,219
You've been hospitalized before
for the bleeding?
971
01:01:52,323 --> 01:01:52,804
Hell, yeah.
972
01:01:52,908 --> 01:01:55,468
Spittin' up blood like old faithful.
973
01:01:55,573 --> 01:01:59,332
Tell me I got an ulcer
the size of a grapefruit.
974
01:01:59,436 --> 01:02:01,771
Did they give you
any medication, Kyle?
975
01:02:01,876 --> 01:02:05,860
They did, but I didn't much
like the taste of it.
976
01:02:05,965 --> 01:02:06,761
So you went untreated.
977
01:02:06,866 --> 01:02:10,102
What about the pain?
978
01:02:10,206 --> 01:02:12,127
Uh, Aspirin works just fine,
979
01:02:12,231 --> 01:02:14,640
About a bottle a day
towards the end there,
980
01:02:14,745 --> 01:02:17,117
plus a little squeeze.
981
01:02:17,221 --> 01:02:18,147
"Squeeze"?
982
01:02:18,252 --> 01:02:20,457
The pink lady,
983
01:02:20,562 --> 01:02:23,384
Red eye. You know, sterno.
984
01:02:23,488 --> 01:02:26,085
Sterno, that's got methanol in it.
985
01:02:26,189 --> 01:02:29,049
- Is that bad?
- It can blind you or kill you.
986
01:02:29,153 --> 01:02:32,734
Well, it didn't kill me.
987
01:02:32,838 --> 01:02:34,286
They all died,
988
01:02:34,390 --> 01:02:38,087
but I didn't.
989
01:02:43,489 --> 01:02:46,121
Kyle. Kyle, what happened
in Piedmont?
990
01:02:46,226 --> 01:02:48,409
What happened to you
and the others that night?
991
01:02:48,514 --> 01:02:50,435
I don't want to talk about it.
992
01:02:50,539 --> 01:02:51,750
It's very important.
993
01:02:51,854 --> 01:02:54,676
Lots of lives depend
on what you might know.
994
01:02:54,780 --> 01:02:57,639
Look, I don't know!
I don't want to talk about it.
995
01:02:57,743 --> 01:02:59,628
Kyle,
996
01:02:59,733 --> 01:03:01,725
what did you see that night?
997
01:03:13,205 --> 01:03:16,632
It was Jeff Megan
and Suzie Travers.
998
01:03:16,737 --> 01:03:18,409
They found the damn thing.
999
01:03:18,514 --> 01:03:22,366
They're just kids, really.
1000
01:03:22,470 --> 01:03:25,779
They-they brought it
to the fire station,
1001
01:03:25,884 --> 01:03:27,994
to the chief Hank Benedict,
1002
01:03:28,099 --> 01:03:29,719
'cause I hear he's an engineer
and knows lots of stuff.
1003
01:03:29,823 --> 01:03:34,784
The only reason I know
is 'cause I was playin' poker
1004
01:03:34,889 --> 01:03:36,858
at the fire station -
Me, Hank
1005
01:03:36,962 --> 01:03:39,962
aAnd Al Ritter
who runs the gas station,
1006
01:03:40,067 --> 01:03:41,218
Herbie Block and Annie Dillon.
1007
01:03:41,322 --> 01:03:42,788
You think it's from outer space?
1008
01:03:42,893 --> 01:03:46,229
It fell from the sky, Annie.
1009
01:03:46,333 --> 01:03:48,480
You know what I mean.
Is it alien?
1010
01:03:48,585 --> 01:03:52,119
Yeah, that's why it says
U.S.A. on the side.
1011
01:03:52,223 --> 01:03:53,883
You think aliens can't spell?
1012
01:03:53,988 --> 01:03:56,135
Probably just a weather satellite.
1013
01:03:56,238 --> 01:03:58,647
Yeah, that's what
they want you to think.
1014
01:03:58,752 --> 01:04:00,412
Have you ever heard of area 51?
1015
01:04:00,516 --> 01:04:03,338
You don't think that there
aren't all these secret
1016
01:04:03,442 --> 01:04:07,202
government things that goes on
that none of us know about?
1017
01:04:07,306 --> 01:04:09,288
- What do you think, Hank?
- It's a satellite -
1018
01:04:09,392 --> 01:04:11,893
Weather or communications
or something.
1019
01:04:11,997 --> 01:04:15,720
I'll make a few calls, and let
you know what I find out.
1020
01:04:15,824 --> 01:04:18,233
About a half-hour later,
I'm gettin' a soda
1021
01:04:18,338 --> 01:04:20,223
from Al's gas station
1022
01:04:20,327 --> 01:04:22,699
because the squeeze makes
you kind of thirsty.
1023
01:04:22,803 --> 01:04:25,212
So you'd been drinking that day?
1024
01:04:25,316 --> 01:04:25,999
How did you feel?
1025
01:04:26,104 --> 01:04:28,327
A- A-A little dizzy,
1026
01:04:28,431 --> 01:04:30,649
my-my breath was
kind of short on me.
1027
01:04:32,757 --> 01:04:35,306
My head!
1028
01:04:35,410 --> 01:04:38,269
Aah! My head!
1029
01:04:38,373 --> 01:04:39,732
Al?
1030
01:04:39,836 --> 01:04:45,436
Al? !
1031
01:04:45,541 --> 01:04:48,207
Hang on!
Hang on, buddy!
1032
01:05:00,589 --> 01:05:02,320
Hey, Annie.
1033
01:05:02,425 --> 01:05:05,697
What's going on?
What's wrong with these people?
1034
01:05:05,801 --> 01:05:09,786
You got to burn 'em out. Don't
you see? It's the only way.
1035
01:05:09,890 --> 01:05:12,263
Annie, well, what...?
1036
01:05:12,367 --> 01:05:14,252
Annie!
1037
01:05:14,356 --> 01:05:16,315
What--?
Hey, Annie!
1038
01:05:16,419 --> 01:05:21,976
Annie!
1039
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:31,740
And then everything's quiet.
1040
01:05:33,766 --> 01:05:37,476
Then it's like
the whole world is dead.
1041
01:05:37,581 --> 01:05:38,827
And that's when I saw the general,
1042
01:05:38,931 --> 01:05:43,555
Scott Arnold, a vet,
steady as a rock.
1043
01:05:43,659 --> 01:05:45,402
You know what's happening, Kyle.
1044
01:05:45,506 --> 01:05:48,471
They've gotten under the wire.
They're inside the compound.
1045
01:05:48,575 --> 01:05:51,659
- I don't think that's it, general.
- Got to face facts, soldier.
1046
01:05:51,764 --> 01:05:54,894
You tell 'em back home
l did my best, okay?
1047
01:05:54,998 --> 01:05:57,026
I thought I'd gone crazy,
1048
01:05:57,130 --> 01:05:59,847
Hallucinatin',
too much pink lady maybe.
1049
01:05:59,951 --> 01:06:02,287
Hey! Hey! Hey, over here!
1050
01:06:02,391 --> 01:06:05,355
It's me! I'm here.
Help me, man!
1051
01:06:05,459 --> 01:06:08,802
Help me, man!
You got to help me!
1052
01:06:11,953 --> 01:06:13,529
No, no, no!
1053
01:06:16,231 --> 01:06:17,661
Help, help,
1054
01:06:17,765 --> 01:06:20,211
No, no, no, no!
1055
01:06:20,315 --> 01:06:24,716
Poor bastard.
1056
01:06:24,820 --> 01:06:28,354
So Tobler was acidotic because
of the methanol he was drinking.
1057
01:06:28,459 --> 01:06:31,506
It breaks down and becomes
formaldehyde and formic acid.
1058
01:06:31,610 --> 01:06:33,758
Plus he was taking
a bottle of aspirin a day.
1059
01:06:33,862 --> 01:06:35,522
That affected his breathing?
1060
01:06:35,626 --> 01:06:38,260
He had to breath rapidly
to blow off the carbon dioxide
1061
01:06:38,364 --> 01:06:40,249
and decrease the carbonic acid
in his body.
1062
01:06:40,354 --> 01:06:42,501
Well, maybe there's a way
1063
01:06:42,605 --> 01:06:45,238
to attack Andromeda in there.
No, the baby's PH is normal.
1064
01:06:45,343 --> 01:06:46,648
There's nothing unusual
about her except her colic.
1065
01:06:46,753 --> 01:06:49,557
Charlene? Here's
what we know so far.
1066
01:06:49,661 --> 01:06:53,081
Andromeda is approximately 1 micron,
1067
01:06:53,185 --> 01:06:56,045
the size of a single cell.
It's transmitted by air.
1068
01:06:56,149 --> 01:06:57,733
Dead organisms are not infectious.
1069
01:06:57,837 --> 01:07:01,636
Andromeda is inspired by its victim.
1070
01:07:01,740 --> 01:07:04,599
It crosses into the bloodstream
where it initiates coagulation.
1071
01:07:04,704 --> 01:07:05,387
Death occurs within seconds.
1072
01:07:05,491 --> 01:07:08,165
Now we tested anticoagulants,
1073
01:07:08,269 --> 01:07:10,641
but they don't affect its process.
1074
01:07:10,745 --> 01:07:12,388
So it cannot transmit from a
corpse?
1075
01:07:12,493 --> 01:07:13,604
Yeah, strange, isn't it?
1076
01:07:13,709 --> 01:07:16,531
Andromeda kills men, kills
all mammals as far as we know
1077
01:07:16,635 --> 01:07:18,520
and then dies within the organism.
1078
01:07:18,625 --> 01:07:19,795
It shows no signs of having
adapted to mankind.
1079
01:07:19,899 --> 01:07:23,248
You know, maybe this
is just what it seems -
1080
01:07:23,352 --> 01:07:24,522
An alien life-form, the first
mankind has ever encountered.
1081
01:07:24,626 --> 01:07:29,138
So it's not cuddly like E.T.,
but there it is. Deal with it.
1082
01:07:29,242 --> 01:07:31,352
Who says it's natural?
It could be engineered.
1083
01:07:31,456 --> 01:07:33,865
Especially given what Tsi
discovered when he was looking
1084
01:07:33,969 --> 01:07:36,613
at the black material
alongside Andromeda.
1085
01:07:36,717 --> 01:07:39,232
Yeah, it's an extremely advanced
form of nanotechnology
1086
01:07:39,336 --> 01:07:42,420
called Buckyballs, named after
the inventor Buckminster Fuller.
1087
01:07:42,524 --> 01:07:45,429
The molecule is form of
carbon 60, octahedral in shape,
1088
01:07:45,534 --> 01:07:48,237
with 60 atoms forming
the shape of a ball.
1089
01:07:48,341 --> 01:07:51,734
So if this black material
was a manufactured shell
1090
01:07:51,838 --> 01:07:53,864
containing Andromeda,
1091
01:07:53,968 --> 01:07:57,811
then what you're describing is
some kind of a biological bomb.
1092
01:07:57,916 --> 01:07:59,943
- Whoa!
- Why not?
1093
01:08:00,047 --> 01:08:01,217
It would be arrogant
to think that human beings
1094
01:08:01,322 --> 01:08:04,670
are the only creatures
sophisticated enough
1095
01:08:04,775 --> 01:08:07,492
to use bacterial warfare. Why would
you assume alien origin at all?
1096
01:08:07,596 --> 01:08:09,885
Mancheck said there was a North
Korean satellite in the area.
1097
01:08:09,989 --> 01:08:13,225
If anyone was gonna attack
the United States,
1098
01:08:13,329 --> 01:08:15,738
why go through all the trouble
of sending a contagion
1099
01:08:15,842 --> 01:08:16,881
into space and hoping
that Nasa will pick it up?
1100
01:08:16,985 --> 01:08:20,429
Why not simply bring it in
on a shipping container
1101
01:08:20,533 --> 01:08:21,929
like one of the thousands that
come in every day un-inspected
1102
01:08:22,033 --> 01:08:26,094
because homeland security just
doesn't have enough resources
1103
01:08:26,198 --> 01:08:28,084
to do the job?
1104
01:08:28,188 --> 01:08:29,358
And for that matter,
why use such an exotic bug
1105
01:08:29,462 --> 01:08:31,908
when plague, typhus or smallpox
would be just fine?
1106
01:08:32,012 --> 01:08:36,413
Well, you'd be the expert on that.
Whoa!
1107
01:08:36,517 --> 01:08:39,376
Easy, Keene. Mancheck is a
liar, and you are a racist fool!
1108
01:08:39,480 --> 01:08:41,485
Yeah? How many died in that
outbreak in Shanghal?
1109
01:08:41,590 --> 01:08:44,812
That's enough, both of you.
1110
01:08:58,094 --> 01:08:59,229
It's growing?
1111
01:08:59,333 --> 01:09:02,077
That's right.
1112
01:09:02,181 --> 01:09:03,689
Now the first time it displayed
that behavior it was unprovoked.
1113
01:09:03,793 --> 01:09:08,642
So is what we just saw some kind
of nonspecific growth response
1114
01:09:08,746 --> 01:09:10,857
Or a sentient reaction to injury?
1115
01:09:10,961 --> 01:09:12,582
Maybe it just doesn't like being poked?
1116
01:09:12,686 --> 01:09:16,522
I think we need to
focus more on structure,
1117
01:09:16,626 --> 01:09:18,511
what is Andromeda made of.
1118
01:09:18,616 --> 01:09:21,474
Bill, you and Charlene,
do an amino acid workup
1119
01:09:21,578 --> 01:09:22,617
while Tsi does a spectro-analysis.
1120
01:09:22,721 --> 01:09:25,076
I'd like to continue my exploration
1121
01:09:25,180 --> 01:09:27,149
of the black material.
1122
01:09:27,254 --> 01:09:30,479
That is, unless you think
I'm a security risk, Bill?
1123
01:09:30,583 --> 01:09:33,144
I trust you, Tsi. Why wouldn't I?
1124
01:09:33,248 --> 01:09:35,657
I know there's a link between
Kyle Tobler and Sylvie Ritter.
1125
01:09:35,761 --> 01:09:37,683
I want to continue to pursue that.
1126
01:09:37,787 --> 01:09:39,151
Let's get started.
1127
01:09:48,747 --> 01:09:51,274
I appreciate the lift, man.
Car just up and died on me.
1128
01:09:51,378 --> 01:09:52,955
No problem, man.
1129
01:09:53,059 --> 01:09:56,368
It's important to see
your family when they ship out.
1130
01:09:56,473 --> 01:09:59,745
You never know, know what I mean?
1131
01:09:59,849 --> 01:10:03,311
What happened in Shanghal?
1132
01:10:03,415 --> 01:10:05,337
It was a different time back then.
1133
01:10:05,441 --> 01:10:08,525
The international treaties
on biowarfare were toothless.
1134
01:10:08,629 --> 01:10:11,451
Every country, including yours,
was experimenting.
1135
01:10:11,556 --> 01:10:14,792
We were field testing
a weaponized version
1136
01:10:14,896 --> 01:10:18,013
of hemorrhagic smallpox
at an outdoor laboratory.
1137
01:10:21,128 --> 01:10:22,595
It proved much, uh,
hardier than we expected.
1138
01:10:22,700 --> 01:10:24,624
A young girl in a fishing boat
9 miles offshore
1139
01:10:24,728 --> 01:10:29,911
caught the disease,
brought it back to the city.
1140
01:10:30,015 --> 01:10:33,560
It killed 107 people,
1141
01:10:33,664 --> 01:10:36,923
30 of them children,
before we could contain it.
1142
01:10:40,383 --> 01:10:43,157
There were people
in both our governments
1143
01:10:43,262 --> 01:10:44,882
who were prepared to unleash
unimaginable horrors.
1144
01:10:44,987 --> 01:10:50,848
I like to think that
in the end reason prevailed,
1145
01:10:50,952 --> 01:10:55,434
but maybe we were
just very, very lucky.
1146
01:10:55,538 --> 01:10:57,185
Jeremy! Jeremy!
1147
01:10:59,436 --> 01:11:00,528
You're not gonna believe this.
1148
01:11:00,633 --> 01:11:03,869
Andromeda doesn't have D.N.A.
1149
01:11:03,973 --> 01:11:07,282
- What is it, some kind of prion?
- No proteins, not even any amino acids.
1150
01:11:07,386 --> 01:11:08,596
Charlene was right.
1151
01:11:08,700 --> 01:11:11,193
There has never been
anything like Andromeda
1152
01:11:11,297 --> 01:11:12,874
anywhere on the earth.
1153
01:11:12,978 --> 01:11:15,728
This is terra incognita.
This is alien.
1154
01:11:19,022 --> 01:11:21,878
Hey, that's good eatin'.
1155
01:11:21,982 --> 01:11:25,030
- Appreciate the food, Mr. Nash.
- My pleasure, sergeant.
1156
01:11:25,135 --> 01:11:27,993
Didn't know they were embedding
journalists on this operation.
1157
01:11:28,098 --> 01:11:30,434
Pretty much standard operating
procedure these days.
1158
01:11:30,537 --> 01:11:33,396
Just bringin' the war on terror home.
1159
01:11:33,501 --> 01:11:34,485
- Nash.
- Jeremy Stone.
1160
01:11:34,589 --> 01:11:36,998
Jeremy Stone-I've been trying
to reach you, man.
1161
01:11:37,103 --> 01:11:38,763
Where the hell are you?
1162
01:11:38,867 --> 01:11:40,727
You sound like you're at the
bottom of a well.
1163
01:11:40,831 --> 01:11:41,500
You can say that.
1164
01:11:41,605 --> 01:11:43,715
Listen, why is the guard
deploying in southern Utah?
1165
01:11:43,820 --> 01:11:46,191
They're
calling it an exercise,
1166
01:11:46,296 --> 01:11:48,668
but the orders originated
with the N.S.A.
1167
01:11:48,772 --> 01:11:50,209
Possibly because
some kind of secret satellite
1168
01:11:50,314 --> 01:11:51,838
code-named Project Scoop
came down in the desert.
1169
01:11:51,943 --> 01:11:56,547
- What is Project Scoop?
- No idea, but it's army.
1170
01:11:56,651 --> 01:11:59,736
This is being run by our
old friend general Mancheck.
1171
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:01,761
Let me tell you,
when that sucker came down,
1172
01:12:01,866 --> 01:12:03,385
it killed a lot of people.
1173
01:12:03,488 --> 01:12:05,777
I mean, no one's saying
infectious outbreak, but--
1174
01:12:05,882 --> 01:12:07,227
And-
and how do you know that?
1175
01:12:07,341 --> 01:12:09,416
I can't give details,
but it cost my source his life.
1176
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:11,406
And it wasn't any virus
killed him either,
1177
01:12:11,510 --> 01:12:14,452
unless microbes routinely
pack.9 millimeter slugs.
1178
01:12:14,556 --> 01:12:16,004
These guys are not
messing around, Jeremy.
1179
01:12:16,108 --> 01:12:19,143
Now I'm being followed.
At least, I was.
1180
01:12:19,247 --> 01:12:22,474
Are those guard units carrying
any biohazard here with them?
1181
01:12:22,577 --> 01:12:24,913
I don't know, but I can check.
1182
01:12:25,017 --> 01:12:28,290
All right. Well, pay close
attention to their equipment.
1183
01:12:28,394 --> 01:12:31,187
- I got to go, Jack.
- Wait, wait, wait.
1184
01:12:31,291 --> 01:12:33,939
I showed you mine. You show me yours.
1185
01:12:34,888 --> 01:12:37,782
It's a biological
infection called Andromeda.
1186
01:12:37,886 --> 01:12:39,630
That's all I can say for now.
1187
01:12:39,734 --> 01:12:40,750
When I know more, I'll call
you first. I promise.
1188
01:12:40,854 --> 01:12:44,048
Look, in the meantime, see
what else you can find out
1189
01:12:44,153 --> 01:12:46,336
about Project Scoop, and I'll
call you back in three hours.
1190
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:48,410
Listen, Jack, be careful,
1191
01:12:48,513 --> 01:12:50,577
and I'm not just talking
about the army
1192
01:12:50,681 --> 01:12:53,540
and whoever else is
following you. Andromeda.
1193
01:12:53,645 --> 01:12:57,400
It's lethal, beyond comprehension.
1194
01:13:01,678 --> 01:13:02,657
Tuesday, Marti, pot roast.
1195
01:13:02,761 --> 01:13:05,210
It's just coffee, Sally.
1196
01:13:05,314 --> 01:13:07,948
You all right, Marti? You look
kind of green around the gills.
1197
01:13:08,052 --> 01:13:10,424
Flu or somethin',
my head's killin' me.
1198
01:13:10,529 --> 01:13:13,159
- You have any aspirin?
- Yeah, sure.
1199
01:13:15,185 --> 01:13:16,390
They're all out to get me.
1200
01:13:16,494 --> 01:13:20,363
Marti, you're hurting me.
1201
01:13:28,243 --> 01:13:31,252
Please, Marti, please.
1202
01:13:34,996 --> 01:13:37,214
General, there has been
an incident
1203
01:13:37,318 --> 01:13:39,203
40 miles south of Piedmont.
1204
01:13:39,308 --> 01:13:41,942
A Utah sheriff named Willis
has shot three people
1205
01:13:42,046 --> 01:13:43,932
and killed himself.
1206
01:13:44,035 --> 01:13:46,561
Here's the raw network feed.
1207
01:13:52,556 --> 01:13:54,890
And here's the security camera.
1208
01:13:57,022 --> 01:13:58,150
Please, Marti, please,
1209
01:13:58,254 --> 01:14:02,461
Please.
1210
01:14:04,488 --> 01:14:07,202
- If it's Andromeda...
- It is.
1211
01:14:07,306 --> 01:14:08,364
I don't know how Willis
escaped quarantine.
1212
01:14:08,468 --> 01:14:11,827
Willis could have passed
through Piedmont
1213
01:14:11,932 --> 01:14:14,443
the night of the infection
before the quarantine went up.
1214
01:14:14,547 --> 01:14:16,574
Have you isolated these bodies
1215
01:14:16,679 --> 01:14:18,089
and whoever worked the crime
scene?
1216
01:14:18,193 --> 01:14:19,087
Already done, general.
1217
01:14:19,191 --> 01:14:21,302
Mancheck.
1218
01:14:21,406 --> 01:14:24,715
I have a message from Dr. Stone
regarding Project Scoop.
1219
01:14:24,819 --> 01:14:27,950
Unless communication
is restored fully
1220
01:14:28,054 --> 01:14:29,631
to the lab,
1221
01:14:29,735 --> 01:14:32,594
Jack Nash will go public
with all the details
1222
01:14:32,698 --> 01:14:34,584
Live on NNT.
1223
01:14:34,688 --> 01:14:36,905
You have ten minutes to comply.
1224
01:14:40,732 --> 01:14:42,533
What happened?
1225
01:14:46,135 --> 01:14:48,386
Stone knows about Project Scoop.
1226
01:14:54,014 --> 01:14:56,458
Put Wildfire back online.
1227
01:14:56,562 --> 01:14:57,713
Get me Stone.
1228
01:14:57,817 --> 01:15:00,768
Yes, general.
1229
01:15:16,610 --> 01:15:19,383
Come on.
You deliberately isolated us.
1230
01:15:19,487 --> 01:15:20,771
And you lied about the purpose
for the satellite, general.
1231
01:15:20,875 --> 01:15:24,822
We had a technical problem,
and the problem got solved.
1232
01:15:24,927 --> 01:15:26,623
Now we want the full facts
on Project Scoop
1233
01:15:26,728 --> 01:15:28,613
and everything associated with it,
1234
01:15:28,718 --> 01:15:31,576
or I swear to God every press
agency from "the New York times"
1235
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,537
To some podunk podcaster in
Nebraska will get this story.
1236
01:15:36,787 --> 01:15:39,005
Nasa astronomers discovered
a singularity
1237
01:15:39,110 --> 01:15:42,346
- in our solar system.
- A singularity?
1238
01:15:42,450 --> 01:15:43,897
A theoretical distortion
in the space/time...
1239
01:15:44,002 --> 01:15:45,084
continuum. No longer theoretical -
1240
01:15:45,189 --> 01:15:47,974
There was a sudden
and inexplicable appearance
1241
01:15:48,078 --> 01:15:50,037
of a tiny source emitting
extremely powerful bursts
1242
01:15:50,141 --> 01:15:52,476
of light and energy -
ln short, a wormhole.
1243
01:15:52,580 --> 01:15:56,115
Now we're still in the process
of analyzing that data,
1244
01:15:56,219 --> 01:15:58,555
but physicists have theorized
since 1935
1245
01:15:58,659 --> 01:16:01,067
That traversable wormholes
could function as portals
1246
01:16:01,171 --> 01:16:03,958
between distant parts of the galaxy.
1247
01:16:04,062 --> 01:16:05,007
Project Scoop was
one of several attempts
1248
01:16:05,111 --> 01:16:08,947
to explore this phenomenon,
and in this case,
1249
01:16:09,051 --> 01:16:10,428
to collect samples
of living organisms.
1250
01:16:10,532 --> 01:16:13,638
Now we're not sure
exactly what happened,
1251
01:16:13,742 --> 01:16:16,826
but on approach, the satellite
became erratic and came down.
1252
01:16:16,930 --> 01:16:20,511
Shortly thereafter,
the wormhole, or...
1253
01:16:20,616 --> 01:16:23,994
whatever the hell it was, closed.
1254
01:16:24,098 --> 01:16:26,921
Well, why in God's name
did you withhold this?
1255
01:16:27,024 --> 01:16:29,967
We have wasted valuable time, time we
don't have, flailing about in the dark.
1256
01:16:30,071 --> 01:16:31,294
Can you imagine the panic
news of an event like this
1257
01:16:31,398 --> 01:16:35,370
would have caused?
It was strictly need-to-know.
1258
01:16:35,474 --> 01:16:37,501
Need to cover your ass.
1259
01:16:37,605 --> 01:16:39,338
Now why would the army's bio-defense
1260
01:16:39,443 --> 01:16:40,127
be covertly collecting samples?
1261
01:16:40,231 --> 01:16:42,679
Maybe shopping for lethal material
1262
01:16:42,783 --> 01:16:44,967
that wouldn't be covered
by any existing
1263
01:16:45,071 --> 01:16:46,506
or future biowarfare agreements?
1264
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:47,781
What we did,
whatever you think of our motives,
1265
01:16:47,884 --> 01:16:51,009
the problem facing us
right now is Andromeda,
1266
01:16:51,113 --> 01:16:52,365
and it's getting worse by
the minute.
1267
01:16:52,469 --> 01:16:53,032
What do you mean?
1268
01:16:53,136 --> 01:16:55,547
Well, the president, largely
on your recommendation,
1269
01:16:55,652 --> 01:16:57,621
opted for quarantining the area
1270
01:16:57,725 --> 01:16:59,825
instead of calling in
a limited nuclear strike,
1271
01:16:59,930 --> 01:17:01,814
and now we've already
had a breach.
1272
01:17:01,918 --> 01:17:04,553
I just got word of an event
outside the quarantine zone
1273
01:17:04,657 --> 01:17:06,092
that sounds like Andromeda.
1274
01:17:06,196 --> 01:17:08,765
Now I've got that area locked up tight,
but I need to know,
1275
01:17:08,869 --> 01:17:10,264
what have you got to fight this?
1276
01:17:10,368 --> 01:17:12,395
Nothing at this point,
not a single thing.
1277
01:17:12,499 --> 01:17:15,133
Andromeda is completely unlike
anything we have ever seen.
1278
01:17:15,238 --> 01:17:17,693
It would appear to be alien
in its source except...
1279
01:17:17,797 --> 01:17:20,050
except for the material
found along with it,
1280
01:17:20,154 --> 01:17:22,562
which we think might be
a casing or a delivery system.
1281
01:17:22,666 --> 01:17:24,410
It's built from
materials common to earth
1282
01:17:24,514 --> 01:17:27,965
but utilizes a nanotechnology
that so far is only theoretical.
1283
01:17:28,069 --> 01:17:30,489
So what are you saying then?
1284
01:17:30,593 --> 01:17:33,143
Is Andromeda of this
world, or is it alien?
1285
01:17:33,247 --> 01:17:35,132
We can't say, either way,
1286
01:17:35,237 --> 01:17:37,954
but it's extremely unlikely
that Andromeda is the creation
1287
01:17:38,059 --> 01:17:39,860
of any kind of terrestrial power.
1288
01:17:39,964 --> 01:17:41,585
Whatever the source, general, we
need to nuke Piedmont right now.
1289
01:17:41,689 --> 01:17:45,299
I have to say, I agree with Bill.
I think it's still too risky.
1290
01:17:45,404 --> 01:17:47,217
Well, what the hell else can we do?
1291
01:17:59,516 --> 01:18:02,184
Wildfire has effectively ruled
out Andromeda as originating
1292
01:18:02,289 --> 01:18:04,969
with any known enemy -
foreign or domestic.
1293
01:18:05,073 --> 01:18:06,650
Are we under attack or not?
1294
01:18:06,754 --> 01:18:09,838
Absolutely, but from whom or what,
1295
01:18:09,942 --> 01:18:12,729
we can't say with certainty.
1296
01:18:12,832 --> 01:18:15,692
What, you're saying this
is an alien attack, Chuck?
1297
01:18:15,796 --> 01:18:17,751
Yes, sir.
1298
01:18:20,227 --> 01:18:21,657
Wherever Andromeda comes from,
1299
01:18:21,761 --> 01:18:25,110
it dies in Piedmont, understand?
1300
01:18:25,214 --> 01:18:27,136
We're ready when you are,
Mr. President.
1301
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:31,863
Are the guardsmen
on the ground going to be safe?
1302
01:18:31,968 --> 01:18:33,139
We'll pull back all forward
observation posts 5 miles.
1303
01:18:33,243 --> 01:18:37,111
None of our men will be
in harm's way, Mr. President.
1304
01:18:41,614 --> 01:18:42,481
Very well.
1305
01:18:42,585 --> 01:18:44,902
Do it.
1306
01:18:45,006 --> 01:18:47,031
5 miles from the target,
1307
01:18:47,135 --> 01:18:50,394
I want you to let loose
and climb like hell.
1308
01:18:56,472 --> 01:18:59,140
Theoretically you should be
able to avoid the aftershock,
1309
01:18:59,245 --> 01:19:01,167
But no one's actually dropped
one of these things
1310
01:19:01,271 --> 01:19:02,968
since Nagasaki.
1311
01:19:03,071 --> 01:19:04,815
Blair.
1312
01:19:04,919 --> 01:19:07,244
You may authorize
the launch when ready.
1313
01:19:07,349 --> 01:19:10,880
Yes, sir.
1314
01:19:17,859 --> 01:19:19,885
- It's a go.
- Sir.
1315
01:19:24,838 --> 01:19:26,267
What exactly are we lookin' for?
1316
01:19:26,372 --> 01:19:29,982
Trespassers, little green men,
1317
01:19:30,086 --> 01:19:31,747
who knows.
1318
01:19:31,851 --> 01:19:33,359
Tear it down, fellas.
They're pullin' us back.
1319
01:19:33,463 --> 01:19:37,861
- You got to be kidding me.
- You heard me. Let's go.
1320
01:19:37,965 --> 01:19:39,625
What is that?
1321
01:19:39,730 --> 01:19:43,072
Some kind of eagle, sir.
1322
01:19:44,873 --> 01:19:48,442
It's got somethin' in its claws.
What is that thing?
1323
01:19:48,546 --> 01:19:51,261
Whoa, whoa, you can't
shoot an eagle, sergeant.
1324
01:19:54,329 --> 01:19:56,060
It's a rat.
1325
01:19:56,164 --> 01:19:58,572
He's bombing us with a rat.
1326
01:19:58,676 --> 01:20:01,082
No, way.
1327
01:20:05,135 --> 01:20:06,903
- Oh, my head!
- You all right?
1328
01:20:07,007 --> 01:20:11,213
- What's up, man?
- Oh, it hurts.
1329
01:20:19,767 --> 01:20:21,273
He's dead.
1330
01:20:21,378 --> 01:20:23,299
This isn't happening.
1331
01:20:23,404 --> 01:20:26,488
Oh, man, this isn't happening.
1332
01:20:26,592 --> 01:20:28,063
It's the end of days,
1333
01:20:28,168 --> 01:20:31,629
the mark of the beast.
1334
01:20:31,733 --> 01:20:33,484
Cut that out right now.
The seals are broken!
1335
01:20:33,588 --> 01:20:36,394
Hell in a handbasket,
it's where we're goin'!
1336
01:20:36,498 --> 01:20:38,678
Put your gun down!
1337
01:21:14,022 --> 01:21:18,041
If Mancheck hadn't kept us
in the dark--
1338
01:21:18,146 --> 01:21:19,959
We just ran out of time.
1339
01:21:22,352 --> 01:21:23,556
There are just some things
that don't add up.
1340
01:21:23,660 --> 01:21:28,361
Chou's casing theory
doesn't--doesn't feel right.
1341
01:21:28,465 --> 01:21:31,215
Something's missing, but I--
l just can't put my finger on it.
1342
01:22:09,853 --> 01:22:12,935
# Come home, baby #
1343
01:22:13,039 --> 01:22:15,412
Afternoon, private Carson.
1344
01:22:15,516 --> 01:22:18,825
Jack Nash, NNT. Great job
you fellas are doin'.
1345
01:22:18,929 --> 01:22:20,364
Can I help you?
1346
01:22:20,468 --> 01:22:23,861
Those, uh, Stryker carriers
of yours are really something.
1347
01:22:23,965 --> 01:22:24,962
Are those chemical/biological units?
1348
01:22:25,066 --> 01:22:26,568
Yes, sir, pretty much
top-of-the-line.
1349
01:22:26,672 --> 01:22:31,394
Now what's that bio trace m3 sampler?
1350
01:22:31,499 --> 01:22:34,997
Uh, it's used to collect
biological samples.
1351
01:22:35,101 --> 01:22:37,960
We don't normally travel with
this kind of, uh, equipment.
1352
01:22:38,065 --> 01:22:41,112
Why do you suppose they need
something like that for?
1353
01:22:41,216 --> 01:22:43,396
Uh, why are you here?
1354
01:22:56,453 --> 01:22:58,705
You're approaching a restricted area!
1355
01:23:00,955 --> 01:23:02,757
Stop your vehicle immediately!
1356
01:23:05,317 --> 01:23:07,034
It's a suicide bomber!
1357
01:23:09,961 --> 01:23:12,663
Open fire!
1358
01:23:37,876 --> 01:23:40,769
Charlie, I'm at-- I'm at desert H.Q.
For the guard.
1359
01:23:40,873 --> 01:23:42,026
Some kind of suicide bomber
just attacked.
1360
01:23:42,130 --> 01:23:45,686
I just sent photos.
Also I just found-
1361
01:23:45,789 --> 01:23:47,254
General Michaelson, you ever heard
of freedom of the
1362
01:23:47,359 --> 01:23:48,198
Take Mr. Nash to the stockade.
1363
01:23:48,303 --> 01:23:50,675
- I'm a civilian, general.
- He was illegally on my base,
1364
01:23:50,779 --> 01:23:51,747
Which has just come
under terrorist attack.
1365
01:23:51,851 --> 01:23:54,277
Care to go on the record
about that, general?
1366
01:23:54,381 --> 01:23:56,266
Northcom, this is Alpha One.
1367
01:23:56,370 --> 01:23:58,187
I will enter the release zone
in 30 seconds.
1368
01:23:58,291 --> 01:23:59,904
Roger, Alpha One.
1369
01:24:00,009 --> 01:24:02,570
Arm missile.
1370
01:24:02,674 --> 01:24:04,890
Roger that. Arming missile.
1371
01:24:06,775 --> 01:24:09,393
Missile is armed
and ready to go.
1372
01:24:12,995 --> 01:24:15,747
These are the results
of our growth matrix program
1373
01:24:15,851 --> 01:24:17,723
on Andromeda.
1374
01:24:20,163 --> 01:24:21,066
The particular growth medium
1375
01:24:21,170 --> 01:24:23,956
doesn't seem to be a factor.
1376
01:24:24,060 --> 01:24:26,433
But atmosphere and light are crucial.
1377
01:24:26,537 --> 01:24:28,946
Darkness and infrared inhibit
growth, likewise for oxygen.
1378
01:24:29,050 --> 01:24:30,971
Nitrogen is a wash.
Ultraviolet light stimulates,
1379
01:24:31,076 --> 01:24:32,961
so does carbon dioxide.
1380
01:24:33,065 --> 01:24:34,987
So Andromeda thrives
best in an atmosphere
1381
01:24:35,092 --> 01:24:36,487
of 100% carbon dioxide lit
by ultraviolet light.
1382
01:24:36,591 --> 01:24:41,741
Looks to me almost like
a pure conversion system.
1383
01:24:41,845 --> 01:24:45,413
Computer, post all results
for all closed growth systems.
1384
01:24:47,523 --> 01:24:51,008
You're right. No excretions,
no waste, amazing.
1385
01:24:51,112 --> 01:24:53,447
What effect does radiation have?
1386
01:24:53,551 --> 01:24:57,119
Computer, check all irradiated samples.
1387
01:24:59,229 --> 01:25:02,536
My god, it eats it up.
1388
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:05,498
Nuking Andromeda is not gonna kill it.
1389
01:25:05,603 --> 01:25:07,700
It'll make it grow exponentially.
1390
01:25:13,554 --> 01:25:16,788
Give me general Mancheck.
This is a code red emergency.
1391
01:25:19,406 --> 01:25:20,758
Entering release zone.
1392
01:25:23,008 --> 01:25:24,965
Dewitt.
Urgent message from Stone.
1393
01:25:25,069 --> 01:25:26,991
Get the president
to shut down that launch.
1394
01:25:27,095 --> 01:25:29,729
Mr. President, message
from Wildfire. We have to abort.
1395
01:25:29,833 --> 01:25:31,718
Hold fire.
1396
01:25:31,822 --> 01:25:34,420
30 seconds to target.
1397
01:25:34,524 --> 01:25:38,022
Mr. President. Dr. Stone,
what do you mean, abort?
1398
01:25:38,127 --> 01:25:40,985
Andromeda eats radiation. If you
nuke it, you won't kill it.
1399
01:25:41,089 --> 01:25:43,875
You will grow it.
Northcom.
1400
01:25:43,979 --> 01:25:45,985
General Blair,
this is president Scott.
1401
01:25:46,089 --> 01:25:48,640
I am ordering you to abort
the mission immediately.
1402
01:25:48,744 --> 01:25:50,628
Stand down, Alpha One.
Do not launch.
1403
01:25:50,733 --> 01:25:52,691
I say again, cancel sequence
and return to base.
1404
01:25:52,795 --> 01:25:54,456
Roger that, northcom.
1405
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:57,761
This is Alpha One. I am shutting
down the launch sequence.
1406
01:26:09,610 --> 01:26:11,860
Confirming.
Missile is disarmed.
1407
01:26:15,687 --> 01:26:17,625
Oh, thank goodness.
1408
01:26:17,729 --> 01:26:19,740
Wow, that was close.
1409
01:26:30,628 --> 01:26:35,048
Northcom, I am having some kind
of mechanical problem here.
1410
01:26:42,027 --> 01:26:44,883
Northcom, this aircraft
is not responding.
1411
01:26:44,988 --> 01:26:47,705
Northcom, please come in.
I cannot control this craft.
1412
01:26:47,809 --> 01:26:51,187
Oh, my-- there went the visor.
1413
01:26:51,291 --> 01:26:53,042
Northcom, my visor
is disintegrating. The-
1414
01:26:53,146 --> 01:26:56,365
I can't-l can't breathe.
I can't breathe.
1415
01:26:56,469 --> 01:26:58,878
I can't get air.
I- I'm losing control here, sir.
1416
01:26:58,982 --> 01:27:00,937
I cannot get any air.
I need--
1417
01:27:04,539 --> 01:27:06,212
Northcom, please come-
1418
01:27:06,316 --> 01:27:08,816
The missile is rearmed!
1419
01:27:12,193 --> 01:27:13,783
It's disintegrating!
1420
01:27:13,886 --> 01:27:16,295
Its almost falling apart!
1421
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:19,571
I have to bail out!
