Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:37,434 --> 00:00:38,733
This asteroid was only the size
2
00:00:38,735 --> 00:00:40,235
of a small house, but generated
3
00:00:40,237 --> 00:00:42,752
a force 30 times greater
than the bomb at Hiroshima.
4
00:00:42,777 --> 00:00:44,009
How did we miss it, Neil?
5
00:00:44,057 --> 00:00:45,423
Carol, there are thousands
6
00:00:45,425 --> 00:00:47,725
of dangerous
Near Earth Objects out there.
7
00:00:47,727 --> 00:00:49,126
The problem with meteors
8
00:00:49,128 --> 00:00:50,928
like the one that exploded over Russia?
9
00:00:50,930 --> 00:00:53,097
We just don't even know they're there
10
00:00:53,099 --> 00:00:54,765
until it's too late.
11
00:00:56,991 --> 00:00:58,590
_
12
00:01:09,341 --> 00:01:11,418
_
13
00:01:11,650 --> 00:01:13,450
All right.
14
00:01:13,452 --> 00:01:16,220
Ladies and gentlemen,
MIT alumnus and tech pioneer
15
00:01:16,222 --> 00:01:18,088
Darius Tanz!
16
00:01:31,102 --> 00:01:32,666
How many ways are there to die?
17
00:01:32,806 --> 00:01:35,338
Sure, there's, you know,
grandma-kicks-the-bucket,
18
00:01:35,340 --> 00:01:38,875
small-bore stuff, but I'm
talking about the big kahuna.
19
00:01:38,877 --> 00:01:43,830
Pandemics, nuclear wars,
global warming, fast food.
20
00:01:45,580 --> 00:01:47,033
There are infinite ways to die, of course.
21
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,547
You and me... we're all gonna go,
22
00:01:48,712 --> 00:01:51,875
somehow, some way, but the human race...
23
00:01:52,133 --> 00:01:54,266
The human race doesn't have to.
24
00:02:06,236 --> 00:02:08,236
I know we all appear to be
25
00:02:08,238 --> 00:02:09,771
safe and cozy here on our
26
00:02:09,773 --> 00:02:11,739
post-Paleolithic pedestal,
27
00:02:11,741 --> 00:02:13,975
but I assure you, things can change.
28
00:02:13,977 --> 00:02:15,743
Rapidly.
29
00:02:15,745 --> 00:02:17,212
Dude.
30
00:02:17,214 --> 00:02:19,447
Sorry. I was in the lab all night.
31
00:02:19,449 --> 00:02:21,817
There have been at least five mass
32
00:02:21,819 --> 00:02:23,919
extinction events in the last few
33
00:02:23,921 --> 00:02:25,253
hundred million years, people.
34
00:02:25,255 --> 00:02:26,821
Five.
35
00:02:26,823 --> 00:02:28,189
If we don't want to end up like
36
00:02:28,191 --> 00:02:30,358
the dinosaurs, we need an exit strategy.
37
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,929
That is why colonizing Mars
is not just a pipe dream.
38
00:02:34,931 --> 00:02:36,531
It's a necessity.
39
00:02:36,533 --> 00:02:37,998
Now I can see
40
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,369
all these skeptical MIT faces
looking back at me, thinking,
41
00:02:41,371 --> 00:02:43,603
"Will you give me a job
after graduation?"
42
00:02:43,605 --> 00:02:46,406
Maybe.
43
00:02:46,408 --> 00:02:49,877
Maybe? Well, except for the guy
who got here late,
44
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:51,111
the one without the shoes.
45
00:02:53,082 --> 00:02:56,317
But seriously, we've put all our eggs
46
00:02:56,319 --> 00:02:57,751
into one cosmic basket.
47
00:02:57,753 --> 00:03:01,355
If the universe decides
to plant its big old ass
48
00:03:01,357 --> 00:03:03,824
into that basket...
49
00:03:05,227 --> 00:03:06,893
...we're toast.
50
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:09,295
Crazy. Thanks.
51
00:03:09,297 --> 00:03:11,064
We can't go up to him with our résumés
52
00:03:11,066 --> 00:03:12,499
now, Shoeless.
53
00:03:12,501 --> 00:03:14,468
Many have tried to approach the king.
54
00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:16,302
Few make it past the castle gates.
55
00:03:16,304 --> 00:03:17,703
He always stays at the Royale.
56
00:03:17,705 --> 00:03:19,005
We should go over there
57
00:03:19,007 --> 00:03:20,373
and pitch him ideas.
58
00:03:20,375 --> 00:03:22,075
Way to get noticed.
59
00:03:29,617 --> 00:03:31,684
Zoe, breakfast is ready!
60
00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:34,387
I'll be home around
61
00:03:34,389 --> 00:03:35,888
6:00ish. We can have an early dinner.
62
00:03:35,890 --> 00:03:37,356
Mom, you forgot.
63
00:03:37,358 --> 00:03:40,192
Graduation rehearsal.
How is the speech going?
64
00:03:40,194 --> 00:03:42,628
Want me to take a look at it?
No, I got it under control.
65
00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:45,964
You know, I kind of do this for a living.
Mom, don't micromanage.
66
00:03:45,966 --> 00:03:48,533
And please don't give me that
"I'm so proud of you" look.
67
00:03:48,535 --> 00:03:50,635
This is the "I'm gonna miss you" look.
68
00:03:50,637 --> 00:03:52,570
Duke is only 262 miles away.
69
00:03:52,572 --> 00:03:54,539
That's what I keep telling myself.
70
00:03:54,541 --> 00:03:57,809
Hey, um... Dad was wondering
71
00:03:57,811 --> 00:03:59,878
if you're gonna use that extra ticket
72
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,046
for graduation?
73
00:04:01,048 --> 00:04:02,247
That's Kira.
74
00:04:02,249 --> 00:04:04,482
I got to fly. Just call him. Please?
75
00:04:04,484 --> 00:04:06,669
Okay.
76
00:04:06,872 --> 00:04:09,013
_
77
00:04:09,130 --> 00:04:10,855
Are you bringing a date
78
00:04:10,857 --> 00:04:12,323
to our daughter's graduation?
79
00:04:12,325 --> 00:04:14,559
No, I wasn't planning on using it, Mike.
80
00:04:14,561 --> 00:04:17,228
That's not the point.
These tickets are for family.
81
00:04:17,230 --> 00:04:19,964
Because I don't think either of
us should bring a date, Mike.
82
00:04:19,966 --> 00:04:22,099
The day is about Zoe, not about us.
83
00:04:22,101 --> 00:04:23,334
I can't talk about this right now.
84
00:04:23,336 --> 00:04:24,635
I'm walking into a meeting.
85
00:04:24,637 --> 00:04:26,370
Grace, why don't you start?
86
00:04:26,372 --> 00:04:28,472
We had a non-combat
related death in Germany...
87
00:04:28,474 --> 00:04:29,974
a warrant officer.
88
00:04:29,976 --> 00:04:31,575
Worked Intelligence at Fort Gordon.
89
00:04:31,577 --> 00:04:33,444
Okay, draft a press release
once the family's informed.
90
00:04:33,446 --> 00:04:37,048
Will do. Jordy, I need to brief
SecDef on Russian military moves.
91
00:04:37,050 --> 00:04:38,849
As of 0400, the Russians
began deploying at least
92
00:04:38,851 --> 00:04:40,183
three divisions, about 50,000 troops,
93
00:04:40,185 --> 00:04:41,752
to the Ukrainian border.
94
00:04:41,754 --> 00:04:43,420
They claim we've been
making some unusual moves
95
00:04:43,422 --> 00:04:45,288
with some of our nukes. Okay. Grace,
96
00:04:45,290 --> 00:04:46,924
have your team release a statement
97
00:04:46,926 --> 00:04:48,291
to the media.
98
00:04:48,293 --> 00:04:49,660
Stress that this is just
routine maintenance
99
00:04:49,662 --> 00:04:51,428
of the nuclear arsenal,
and our Russian friends
100
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:53,530
are bent out of shape over nothing, but
101
00:04:53,532 --> 00:04:55,265
say it nice, like you do.
102
00:04:55,267 --> 00:04:56,933
- Certainly, sir.
- Okay.
103
00:04:56,935 --> 00:04:59,735
The world is safe for today.
104
00:04:59,737 --> 00:05:01,037
Grace?
105
00:05:01,039 --> 00:05:02,605
A word in my office?
106
00:05:08,780 --> 00:05:11,046
So, I have some news.
107
00:05:11,048 --> 00:05:13,716
Your transfer request came through.
108
00:05:13,718 --> 00:05:15,518
Where'd you hear that?
109
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,521
Well, I'm fairly high up at the
Pentagon, in case you forgot.
110
00:05:20,091 --> 00:05:23,125
They need someone to run Public
Affairs over at Fort Myer.
111
00:05:23,127 --> 00:05:26,529
This is perfect.
112
00:05:26,531 --> 00:05:28,464
I'll be just up the road.
113
00:05:28,466 --> 00:05:32,034
And you... won't be my boss anymore.
114
00:05:32,036 --> 00:05:34,603
- We can finally be out in the open.
- Mm.
115
00:05:34,605 --> 00:05:36,071
No more sneaking around.
116
00:05:36,073 --> 00:05:37,306
Yeah.
117
00:05:37,308 --> 00:05:39,541
You can meet Zoe, I can meet Dylan.
118
00:05:39,543 --> 00:05:42,211
We can be a normal couple.
119
00:05:42,213 --> 00:05:45,279
Although, you know,
sneaking around was kind of fun.
120
00:05:48,752 --> 00:05:50,251
Mm.
121
00:05:50,253 --> 00:05:51,987
I'll miss having you here.
122
00:05:51,989 --> 00:05:54,589
Mm. You'll have me everywhere else.
123
00:05:54,591 --> 00:05:55,924
Yeah.
124
00:05:57,494 --> 00:05:59,360
Come in.
125
00:05:59,362 --> 00:06:02,063
Sir, the Joint Chief's on the line.
126
00:06:02,065 --> 00:06:03,364
I'm told it's urgent.
127
00:06:03,366 --> 00:06:04,732
Send it in.
128
00:06:14,444 --> 00:06:16,844
Spicy chicken burritos, extra salsa,
129
00:06:16,846 --> 00:06:18,278
extra avocado? Yeah, that's me.
130
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:20,113
Dude, the three-body problem
is unsolvable.
131
00:06:20,115 --> 00:06:21,649
No one's ever done it.
No one's done it yet.
132
00:06:21,651 --> 00:06:23,183
Oh, and I suppose
you're gonna be the one?
133
00:06:23,185 --> 00:06:24,985
So far, your algorithm
has turned up jack.
134
00:06:24,987 --> 00:06:26,353
Josh, you wouldn't know
a recursive algorithm
135
00:06:26,355 --> 00:06:27,721
if it bit you on your asymptote.
136
00:06:27,723 --> 00:06:30,257
Uh, actually, if we go back
137
00:06:30,259 --> 00:06:31,525
to second-year astrophysics...
138
00:06:31,527 --> 00:06:33,126
Who taught the class?
Pretty sure it was me.
139
00:06:33,128 --> 00:06:34,461
Let's go back to first year.
140
00:06:34,463 --> 00:06:36,329
Um, who got the highest mark
141
00:06:36,331 --> 00:06:37,764
in advanced physics?
Excuse me. I'm gonna see
142
00:06:37,766 --> 00:06:39,899
if I can solve the, uh...
the two-body problem.
143
00:06:39,901 --> 00:06:41,501
Two-body problem
is high school math, dude.
144
00:06:41,503 --> 00:06:43,070
I need to get...
145
00:06:51,145 --> 00:06:53,713
Hi.
146
00:06:54,816 --> 00:06:56,716
I see you remembered your shoes.
147
00:06:56,718 --> 00:06:58,084
Yeah, yeah.
148
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,954
I'm Liam.
149
00:07:00,956 --> 00:07:02,789
Jillian.
150
00:07:03,858 --> 00:07:05,558
So you're not MIT.
151
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,858
Oh, is it that obvious,
152
00:07:06,860 --> 00:07:09,195
or should I wear a dunce cap
so people know?
153
00:07:09,197 --> 00:07:11,630
I just mean that, you know,
I haven't seen you around.
154
00:07:11,632 --> 00:07:14,032
And that event was
students and faculty only.
155
00:07:14,034 --> 00:07:16,034
Darius Tanz is the greatest mind
of our time.
156
00:07:16,036 --> 00:07:17,470
So I snuck in.
157
00:07:17,472 --> 00:07:18,870
Sue me.
158
00:07:20,441 --> 00:07:23,642
And what do you do when not
committing felonious trespass?
159
00:07:25,245 --> 00:07:26,578
Guess.
160
00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:28,379
Okay.
161
00:07:28,381 --> 00:07:31,683
Let's see. Um...
162
00:07:31,685 --> 00:07:34,786
I'll say you're a writer.
163
00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:35,988
Sci-fi, perhaps.
164
00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:37,388
Whoa. How did you know...?
165
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:39,091
You're interested in
the future of mankind,
166
00:07:39,093 --> 00:07:40,492
but you're not an MIT student.
167
00:07:40,494 --> 00:07:42,227
You carry a notebook with a quote
168
00:07:42,229 --> 00:07:45,696
from Asimov on the cover.
"Ideas Die Hard"?
169
00:07:45,698 --> 00:07:47,898
I extrapolated from a set
of known facts and got lucky.
170
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:49,334
Honestly.
171
00:07:49,336 --> 00:07:51,736
You are quite an observant guy.
172
00:07:51,738 --> 00:07:53,371
Scientists need to be observant.
173
00:07:53,373 --> 00:07:56,607
Especially when
investigating new phenomena.
174
00:07:59,445 --> 00:08:01,078
And what about you?
175
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,579
What kind of, uh,
176
00:08:02,581 --> 00:08:05,616
important save-the-world work
are you doing at MIT?
177
00:08:05,618 --> 00:08:07,718
I'm creating a live model
of the solar system
178
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,987
in-in real time, based
on gravimetric data.
179
00:08:12,258 --> 00:08:14,158
I'm creating a map of space.
180
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,759
Sounds impressive.
181
00:08:15,761 --> 00:08:16,993
How's it going?
182
00:08:16,995 --> 00:08:18,228
Anything worth doing takes time.
183
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:20,063
- Oh, so, in other words...
- Yeah.
184
00:08:20,065 --> 00:08:21,765
- ...it's not panning out?
- It's not panning out.
185
00:08:24,637 --> 00:08:27,937
When you're passionate about
something, time means nothing.
186
00:08:27,939 --> 00:08:32,776
And you're passionate
about celestial mechanics?
187
00:08:34,579 --> 00:08:36,846
- Yeah, absolutely.
- Yeah.
188
00:08:36,848 --> 00:08:40,249
When two celestial bodies
cross paths, it can, uh...
189
00:08:40,251 --> 00:08:43,119
It can...
190
00:08:43,121 --> 00:08:45,954
change their trajectories forever.
191
00:08:49,894 --> 00:08:51,960
So this is my apartment.
192
00:08:51,962 --> 00:08:54,096
- I like it.
- Yeah.
193
00:08:59,437 --> 00:09:00,936
Magic.
194
00:09:00,938 --> 00:09:03,572
I don't usually do this.
195
00:09:03,574 --> 00:09:04,539
I don't, either.
196
00:09:04,541 --> 00:09:06,441
Are you sure about this?
197
00:09:06,443 --> 00:09:09,344
Yes means yes.
198
00:09:32,001 --> 00:09:34,369
So that's how it is,
199
00:09:34,371 --> 00:09:36,437
MIT? Sneaking out?
200
00:09:36,439 --> 00:09:38,973
No, no, no, no, no, it's
not like that. My research.
201
00:09:38,975 --> 00:09:40,374
Yeah, your research
that hasn't generated
202
00:09:40,376 --> 00:09:42,910
anything in months?
Yes. No, I got a hit.
203
00:09:42,912 --> 00:09:46,480
I can't explain. Can I call you?
I'm gonna call you.
204
00:09:46,482 --> 00:09:49,383
You are amazing and beautiful.
I can't wait to read your stuff.
205
00:09:49,385 --> 00:09:52,486
I'm gonna call you, I promise.
206
00:09:54,957 --> 00:09:56,357
Professor Croft?
207
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,093
Professor Croft, it's Liam.
208
00:10:00,095 --> 00:10:01,295
Liam.
209
00:10:01,297 --> 00:10:02,796
What the hell time is it?
210
00:10:02,798 --> 00:10:04,265
- I got a hit.
- You got a hit?
211
00:10:04,267 --> 00:10:06,267
- Yeah.
- I'm going back to bed,
212
00:10:06,269 --> 00:10:08,334
and if you're lucky, I won't
remember this in the morning.
213
00:10:08,336 --> 00:10:10,436
Sir, if I'm right, people need
to see this immediately.
214
00:10:10,438 --> 00:10:12,639
You've got friends at, uh...
in Washington, at NASA
215
00:10:12,641 --> 00:10:14,074
you can call, right? Washington? What?
216
00:10:14,076 --> 00:10:15,541
Are you drunk?
217
00:10:15,543 --> 00:10:17,110
Sir, that hurts.
218
00:10:17,112 --> 00:10:18,745
Well, last month,
you woke me up with this theory
219
00:10:18,747 --> 00:10:20,313
that we're all living
in a fractal holographic matrix.
220
00:10:20,315 --> 00:10:21,481
Remember that?
221
00:10:21,483 --> 00:10:22,883
Yeah, well, I-I may have had a few
222
00:10:22,885 --> 00:10:24,151
that night, sir, but
this is different. Mm.
223
00:10:24,153 --> 00:10:25,985
There's a significant perturbation.
224
00:10:25,987 --> 00:10:27,720
Really? I've been running continual
225
00:10:27,722 --> 00:10:29,389
simulations, and there's something there
226
00:10:29,391 --> 00:10:30,990
that was not there three months ago.
Well, you know,
227
00:10:30,992 --> 00:10:32,392
a slight miscalculation
could taint the results.
228
00:10:32,394 --> 00:10:34,193
Why don't you give me the data?
I'll take a look.
229
00:10:34,195 --> 00:10:35,662
Yes. It's-it's already
uploaded to your server.
230
00:10:35,664 --> 00:10:37,563
Okay. Good.
Well, go home, get some sleep.
231
00:10:37,565 --> 00:10:38,765
We'll discuss this after class,
232
00:10:38,767 --> 00:10:40,232
which starts in about five hours.
233
00:10:40,234 --> 00:10:42,668
Try to be on time for once, all right?
234
00:10:42,670 --> 00:10:44,870
Oh, my God.
235
00:11:03,557 --> 00:11:05,990
This is Malcolm Croft.
236
00:11:05,992 --> 00:11:08,760
Yes, I know it's late,
but this can't wait.
237
00:11:08,762 --> 00:11:11,162
And finally, there have been
some reports in the press
238
00:11:11,164 --> 00:11:13,264
and elsewhere concerning
movement of nuclear material.
239
00:11:13,266 --> 00:11:15,033
This is nothing more
than routine maintenance
240
00:11:15,035 --> 00:11:18,236
required to keep our arsenals
safe, secure and reliable.
241
00:11:18,238 --> 00:11:19,237
Yes.
242
00:11:19,239 --> 00:11:20,538
Grace, are you saying
243
00:11:20,540 --> 00:11:22,040
Russian concerns
are completely unfounded?
244
00:11:22,042 --> 00:11:23,241
That's exactly what I'm saying, Russ.
245
00:11:23,243 --> 00:11:24,642
What kind of routine maintenance
246
00:11:24,644 --> 00:11:27,793
requires moving nuclear weapons
from the Utah desert to Florida?
247
00:11:27,818 --> 00:11:29,780
Those missiles were due to be retired.
248
00:11:29,782 --> 00:11:31,347
Nothing out of the ordinary, Ms...?
249
00:11:31,372 --> 00:11:33,584
Amanda Neel, Capitol Eyes News.
250
00:11:33,586 --> 00:11:35,519
And not according to my sources.
251
00:11:35,521 --> 00:11:37,187
Well, Amanda Neel of Capitol Eyes News,
252
00:11:37,189 --> 00:11:38,622
you may need better sources.
253
00:11:38,624 --> 00:11:41,058
Moving on.
254
00:11:41,060 --> 00:11:43,327
We had one non-combat
related death in Germany.
255
00:11:43,329 --> 00:11:45,229
U.S. diplomat succumbed
to injuries sustained
256
00:11:45,231 --> 00:11:46,731
while visiting Frankfurt.
257
00:11:50,435 --> 00:11:52,102
That's it. 15-minute rule.
258
00:11:52,104 --> 00:11:54,571
Croft's a no-show.
Let's get out of here.
259
00:12:17,228 --> 00:12:19,328
Professor Croft?
260
00:12:34,412 --> 00:12:36,812
911?
261
00:12:36,814 --> 00:12:38,680
There has been... has been a burglary,
262
00:12:38,682 --> 00:12:41,216
or a... or a kidnapping,
or I don't... I don't know what.
263
00:12:41,218 --> 00:12:42,851
But my professor... he...
264
00:12:42,853 --> 00:12:45,320
His place is trashed,
and he didn't show up for class.
265
00:12:45,322 --> 00:12:46,889
He left his glasses behind.
266
00:12:46,891 --> 00:12:48,757
No.
267
00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:51,092
No. No, I'm not on drugs.
268
00:12:53,397 --> 00:12:54,896
I'm sorry, Operator.
269
00:12:54,898 --> 00:12:56,464
I got... I got to go.
270
00:12:56,466 --> 00:12:58,133
I...
271
00:13:44,179 --> 00:13:45,712
Yeah, the first one is fine.
272
00:13:45,714 --> 00:13:47,547
Uh, from now on, they've got
to be approved by me, or...
273
00:13:47,549 --> 00:13:48,915
Good afternoon, Mr. Tanz.
274
00:13:48,917 --> 00:13:50,416
Good afternoon. We've got new people...
275
00:13:51,687 --> 00:13:53,086
...talking about it.
276
00:13:55,423 --> 00:13:57,958
Sir, my name's Liam Cole.
I'm a student at MIT.
277
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,393
In 186 days, an asteroid's
gonna collide with Earth
278
00:14:00,395 --> 00:14:02,717
and we're all gonna die.
279
00:14:15,742 --> 00:14:18,484
My name is Liam Cole.
I'm a student at MIT.
280
00:14:18,523 --> 00:14:20,722
My I.D. is in my wallet. It's...
281
00:14:22,572 --> 00:14:24,686
MIT grad. Astrophysics.
282
00:14:24,761 --> 00:14:27,062
- The shoeless guy.
- Yes, sir.
283
00:14:27,064 --> 00:14:29,164
Did we have an appointment
with the shoeless guy?
284
00:14:29,166 --> 00:14:30,499
Whoa!
285
00:14:30,501 --> 00:14:34,636
Easy. I got a flash drive
in my pocket with all the data.
286
00:14:39,475 --> 00:14:40,875
I've been running simulations,
287
00:14:40,877 --> 00:14:42,476
trying to solve the N-body problem.
288
00:14:42,478 --> 00:14:44,112
How asteroids, comets interact
with each other.
289
00:14:44,114 --> 00:14:47,215
Everybody at NASA is studying
NEOs we already know.
290
00:14:47,217 --> 00:14:50,484
I've been looking for the ones
we've missed, and I found one.
291
00:14:53,656 --> 00:14:56,424
I got the visuals here
if you want to take a look.
292
00:14:57,193 --> 00:14:58,693
Whoa.
293
00:14:58,695 --> 00:15:00,127
That's a holographic projector.
294
00:15:00,129 --> 00:15:02,230
Yeah, it's a little toy
I've been working on.
295
00:15:02,232 --> 00:15:05,466
Hope to have it in stores
by, um, Christmas 2020.
296
00:15:05,468 --> 00:15:07,935
If the world still exists.
297
00:15:10,405 --> 00:15:12,906
Let's hear it. I'm listening.
298
00:15:12,908 --> 00:15:16,176
Okay, yeah, well, uh,
this is the solar system today.
299
00:15:16,178 --> 00:15:18,011
And, uh, excuse me. If you don't mind...
300
00:15:18,013 --> 00:15:20,313
- I do.
- Um, and this...
301
00:15:20,315 --> 00:15:22,950
is the asteroid. Let's call it "Rocky."
302
00:15:22,952 --> 00:15:24,284
It's about 300 million miles out.
303
00:15:24,286 --> 00:15:25,719
Now, my software,
304
00:15:25,721 --> 00:15:27,520
which I'm happy to sell to you,
by the way,
305
00:15:27,522 --> 00:15:30,223
predicts a trajectory for this
asteroid to collide with Earth,
306
00:15:30,225 --> 00:15:32,859
like I said, in 186 days.
307
00:15:35,163 --> 00:15:37,364
Given its location and
its orbital configuration,
308
00:15:37,366 --> 00:15:42,869
there is a 97.2% probability
that this is a planet killer.
309
00:15:42,871 --> 00:15:45,504
Okay.
310
00:15:45,506 --> 00:15:46,839
That's your supposition... hardly proof
311
00:15:46,841 --> 00:15:48,474
that you or your data are correct.
312
00:15:48,476 --> 00:15:49,942
No, I-I rechecked
313
00:15:49,944 --> 00:15:51,710
all my calculations last night.
They're solid.
314
00:15:51,712 --> 00:15:53,880
And I showed the numbers
to my advisor, Professor Croft.
315
00:15:53,882 --> 00:15:55,614
Five hours later, he disappeared,
316
00:15:55,616 --> 00:15:57,016
and didn't show up for class.
317
00:15:57,018 --> 00:15:58,817
His place was trashed. Trashed?
318
00:15:58,819 --> 00:16:00,419
There were big, scary goons
staking out his house.
319
00:16:00,421 --> 00:16:02,053
They chased my ass across campus.
320
00:16:02,055 --> 00:16:03,389
Now either this is
an amazing coincidence,
321
00:16:03,391 --> 00:16:04,690
or I'm onto something
322
00:16:04,692 --> 00:16:06,592
that someone, somewhere,
doesn't want public.
323
00:16:06,594 --> 00:16:09,161
I'm telling you, Mr. Tanz,
the sky is falling.
324
00:16:09,163 --> 00:16:12,464
And you may be the only person
that can do something about it.
325
00:16:14,335 --> 00:16:16,134
Karissa, bring a car and fuel the jet.
326
00:16:16,136 --> 00:16:19,204
Where are you going?
We're going. To Washington.
327
00:16:27,881 --> 00:16:30,215
Okay, this is the Pentagon.
328
00:16:30,217 --> 00:16:34,118
Wow. MIT is admitting
some big brains these days.
329
00:16:38,958 --> 00:16:41,125
He's expecting you,
330
00:16:41,127 --> 00:16:42,893
Mr. Tanz. Sit. Wait.
331
00:16:42,895 --> 00:16:44,796
- But...
- Trust.
332
00:16:49,668 --> 00:16:50,968
Darius.
333
00:16:50,970 --> 00:16:53,304
They told me you were on your way over.
334
00:16:53,306 --> 00:16:54,571
Is there a problem?
335
00:16:54,573 --> 00:16:56,006
Well, I'm not sure, Harris.
336
00:16:56,008 --> 00:16:57,507
It depends on whether
337
00:16:57,509 --> 00:16:59,043
a planet-killing asteroid
is heading our way.
338
00:16:59,045 --> 00:17:01,879
What are you talking about?
339
00:17:01,881 --> 00:17:03,247
Asteroid, Earth.
340
00:17:03,249 --> 00:17:05,014
Boom!
341
00:17:05,016 --> 00:17:07,584
You run DOD point for all things NASA.
342
00:17:07,586 --> 00:17:09,919
Okay, where are you getting
this science fiction from?
343
00:17:09,921 --> 00:17:10,854
So it's not true?
344
00:17:10,856 --> 00:17:12,422
No.
345
00:17:12,424 --> 00:17:15,258
Okay, then you won't mind me
346
00:17:15,260 --> 00:17:17,494
tweeting about an asteroid
poised to slam into Earth
347
00:17:17,496 --> 00:17:19,396
in, say, 186 days
348
00:17:19,398 --> 00:17:20,997
to my 20 million Twitter followers?
349
00:17:20,999 --> 00:17:23,233
Oh. Make that 21 million.
350
00:17:23,235 --> 00:17:24,868
Okay, Darius...
351
00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:26,469
So which is it?
352
00:17:26,471 --> 00:17:28,872
Science or fiction?
353
00:17:32,077 --> 00:17:34,577
So those Goliath 2 rocket
engines you ordered from me
354
00:17:34,579 --> 00:17:36,479
on an accelerated timeline, not exactly
355
00:17:36,481 --> 00:17:38,313
for communication satellites, I take it.
356
00:17:38,315 --> 00:17:40,015
We have the brightest minds
working the problem...
357
00:17:40,017 --> 00:17:42,351
No, you don't,
because you're not using me.
358
00:17:42,353 --> 00:17:44,487
Oh, so what?
Without the great Darius Tanz,
359
00:17:44,489 --> 00:17:46,255
we're all doomed? Is that it?
360
00:17:46,257 --> 00:17:48,357
The way I see it,
you've got two choices:
361
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,159
tell me or kill me.
362
00:17:55,465 --> 00:17:56,899
I'm going down to Joint Task Force.
363
00:17:56,901 --> 00:17:58,267
Have Grace Barrows meet me there.
364
00:17:58,269 --> 00:18:00,202
Who are you?
365
00:18:00,204 --> 00:18:02,737
Liam Cole, MIT grad student, sir.
366
00:18:02,739 --> 00:18:04,172
He arrived at the same
367
00:18:04,174 --> 00:18:06,474
conclusion as NASA, but his
computer did it autonomously
368
00:18:06,476 --> 00:18:08,643
while he was getting laid.
369
00:18:11,615 --> 00:18:15,016
Get Mr. Cole clearance. Now.
370
00:18:20,290 --> 00:18:21,756
You wanted to see me?
371
00:18:21,758 --> 00:18:24,826
Darius Tanz, Grace Barrows,
DOD Public Affairs.
372
00:18:24,828 --> 00:18:26,360
Pleasure. We've met before.
373
00:18:26,362 --> 00:18:28,129
- Croatian Embassy.
- Good memory.
374
00:18:28,131 --> 00:18:29,797
Photographic. It's a curse, trust me.
375
00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:31,232
Liam Cole.
376
00:18:31,234 --> 00:18:33,100
- He works for me.
- I... I do.
377
00:18:33,102 --> 00:18:34,701
I work for him.
378
00:18:34,703 --> 00:18:36,837
Shall we?
379
00:19:10,805 --> 00:19:14,007
This is the command
center for Project Samson.
380
00:19:14,009 --> 00:19:16,576
Of the 30,000 people
who work in the Pentagon,
381
00:19:16,578 --> 00:19:18,310
fewer than 40 have clearance.
382
00:19:18,312 --> 00:19:21,455
Security and soundproof measures activated.
383
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,916
Three months ago,
through the Safeguard Survey System
384
00:19:23,918 --> 00:19:26,919
that catalogues Near Earth
Objects, NASA astronomer
385
00:19:26,921 --> 00:19:30,222
Dr. Eduard Acosta discovered
an asteroid, Samson,
386
00:19:30,224 --> 00:19:32,658
seven kilometers wide, out near Jupiter.
387
00:19:32,660 --> 00:19:35,461
Large enough to cause an
extinction-level event.
388
00:19:35,463 --> 00:19:38,130
Trajectory data has now been firmed up,
389
00:19:38,132 --> 00:19:40,165
and the latest calculations
show that Samson has
390
00:19:40,167 --> 00:19:44,003
the potential to collide
with Earth in 186 days.
391
00:19:44,005 --> 00:19:46,238
Our simulations give
it a high probability of
392
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,840
impact off the East Coast
of the United States.
393
00:19:48,842 --> 00:19:50,208
So that's why you're moving those nukes.
394
00:19:50,210 --> 00:19:51,977
You think you're gonna
blow this fellow out of the sky.
395
00:19:51,979 --> 00:19:53,578
Well, nukes won't work.
396
00:19:54,615 --> 00:19:57,549
Sorry, but even if a nuclear explosion
397
00:19:57,551 --> 00:20:00,819
broke up the asteroid, it would
create thousands of meteors
398
00:20:00,821 --> 00:20:02,286
that would rain down on Earth,
399
00:20:02,288 --> 00:20:04,723
setting in motion cataclysmic
events all over the world.
400
00:20:04,725 --> 00:20:05,557
Thank you, Liam.
401
00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:06,991
No. He's right.
402
00:20:06,993 --> 00:20:08,859
It was explored, but
deemed too dangerous.
403
00:20:08,861 --> 00:20:11,795
We've been working on impact prevention
404
00:20:11,797 --> 00:20:13,964
since Chelyabinsk, back in 2013.
405
00:20:13,966 --> 00:20:16,234
That process has now been expedited.
406
00:20:16,236 --> 00:20:19,103
So what is the plan,
if you don't mind me asking?
407
00:20:20,206 --> 00:20:22,540
This.
408
00:20:22,542 --> 00:20:23,974
A gravity tractor.
409
00:20:25,678 --> 00:20:26,710
Oh, that would deflect the asteroid
410
00:20:26,712 --> 00:20:28,412
using gravitational pull.
411
00:20:29,348 --> 00:20:31,348
Sorry.
412
00:20:31,350 --> 00:20:33,417
We position a probe
413
00:20:33,419 --> 00:20:35,052
next to the asteroid.
Even though its mass
414
00:20:35,054 --> 00:20:37,755
is small, the probe generates
its own gravitational field.
415
00:20:37,757 --> 00:20:40,057
Diverting the asteroid's path
just enough to miss Earth.
416
00:20:40,059 --> 00:20:41,824
But you need a rocket powerful enough
417
00:20:41,826 --> 00:20:45,028
to get it there in time, and
that rocket doesn't exist yet.
418
00:20:45,030 --> 00:20:46,996
Well, actually, it does.
419
00:20:46,998 --> 00:20:48,698
We've modified one of your rockets,
420
00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:49,966
the Goliath 2.
421
00:20:49,968 --> 00:20:52,369
The test phase is almost
complete. We launch next week.
422
00:20:52,371 --> 00:20:55,572
We have full confidence this
will take care of the problem,
423
00:20:55,574 --> 00:20:57,339
and no one will be the wiser.
424
00:21:01,312 --> 00:21:04,346
I'm sure you understand why
this needs to remain classified.
425
00:21:04,348 --> 00:21:05,615
If the public were to find out...
426
00:21:05,617 --> 00:21:07,349
Of course. Anything you need.
427
00:21:07,351 --> 00:21:09,686
My entire company stands at
your disposal, ready to help.
428
00:21:09,688 --> 00:21:11,788
Ah, we'll take that under advisement.
429
00:21:11,790 --> 00:21:14,457
Most important thing right now
is that we carry on
430
00:21:14,459 --> 00:21:16,192
business as usual.
431
00:21:17,328 --> 00:21:19,295
Liam.
432
00:21:20,198 --> 00:21:22,064
Will I see you tonight
433
00:21:22,066 --> 00:21:23,365
at the Embassy Ball?
434
00:21:23,367 --> 00:21:24,866
Absolutely. How about you, Grace?
435
00:21:24,868 --> 00:21:27,002
Yes.
436
00:21:27,004 --> 00:21:28,237
Wouldn't miss it.
437
00:21:28,239 --> 00:21:29,938
Tonight, then.
438
00:21:33,744 --> 00:21:35,376
Business as usual?
439
00:21:35,378 --> 00:21:37,345
Do you own a tux?
No. Of course you don't.
440
00:21:37,347 --> 00:21:39,681
My professor is missing,
an asteroid is coming,
441
00:21:39,683 --> 00:21:41,650
and you're talking
about going to a party.
442
00:21:41,652 --> 00:21:43,118
Did you believe
anything he said in there
443
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:44,552
about having it under control?
444
00:21:44,554 --> 00:21:46,787
Oh, we're not gonna wait
for the government to save us.
445
00:21:46,789 --> 00:21:48,598
We're gonna save ourselves.
446
00:21:58,539 --> 00:22:00,158
I know.
447
00:22:00,976 --> 00:22:02,642
It's a lot to take in.
448
00:22:04,406 --> 00:22:06,939
How long have you been carrying this?
449
00:22:06,941 --> 00:22:09,308
Three months.
450
00:22:11,379 --> 00:22:13,212
So the nukes aren't undergoing
routine maintenance.
451
00:22:13,214 --> 00:22:14,580
If the gravity tractor fails,
452
00:22:14,582 --> 00:22:16,882
they're the last line of defense.
453
00:22:16,884 --> 00:22:18,918
But you're confident this will work?
454
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,452
Yes.
455
00:22:20,454 --> 00:22:22,187
Yes, Grace.
456
00:22:25,159 --> 00:22:27,826
Why are you telling me
this now? Why bring me in?
457
00:22:27,828 --> 00:22:29,862
Because the playing field just changed.
458
00:22:29,864 --> 00:22:31,463
Information got into the wild.
459
00:22:31,465 --> 00:22:33,799
And you need me to contain it.
460
00:22:43,610 --> 00:22:45,043
I'm sorry.
461
00:22:46,813 --> 00:22:49,347
I never wanted to burden you with this.
462
00:22:51,317 --> 00:22:53,417
You don't have to stay.
463
00:22:55,989 --> 00:22:58,022
I can't leave.
464
00:22:58,024 --> 00:23:00,157
Not now.
465
00:23:01,061 --> 00:23:04,295
But, Harris, if I stay...
466
00:23:05,932 --> 00:23:07,898
...no more secrets.
467
00:23:09,668 --> 00:23:12,103
No more secrets.
468
00:23:30,422 --> 00:23:32,222
I'm heading out.
469
00:23:32,224 --> 00:23:34,224
I'm sleeping at Kira's.
It's not to avoid curfew.
470
00:23:34,226 --> 00:23:35,626
You look nice.
471
00:23:35,628 --> 00:23:37,628
Zoe, I just got a text from your father
472
00:23:37,630 --> 00:23:38,862
about a gap year?
473
00:23:38,864 --> 00:23:41,498
Uh...
474
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:43,133
I was gonna tell you.
475
00:23:43,135 --> 00:23:45,034
Tell me what?
476
00:23:45,036 --> 00:23:47,803
I applied to a community
outreach program in Kenya.
477
00:23:47,805 --> 00:23:49,839
It starts in September.
478
00:23:49,841 --> 00:23:51,707
Africa? Uh, whoa-whoa...
479
00:23:51,709 --> 00:23:54,644
Okay. Wh-What about Duke? They
said I could defer for a year.
480
00:23:54,646 --> 00:23:56,212
They were really cool about it. Do you
know how many Americans were kidnapped
481
00:23:56,214 --> 00:23:58,247
- last year abroad?
- Oh, I knew you were gonna say that.
482
00:23:58,249 --> 00:24:00,683
Mom, it's more dangerous to
drive a car than go to Africa.
483
00:24:00,685 --> 00:24:02,952
Honey, now is not the time. You are
the one who's always telling me
484
00:24:02,954 --> 00:24:04,887
- it's my responsibility to contribute...
- Yes. Yes.
485
00:24:04,889 --> 00:24:06,455
...to help those less fortunate.
Yes. But not now!
486
00:24:06,457 --> 00:24:08,590
Mom. Look, I know that this is scary
487
00:24:08,592 --> 00:24:11,027
for you... letting go. But...
488
00:24:11,029 --> 00:24:13,562
you're not gonna be able to
make the world safe for me,
489
00:24:13,564 --> 00:24:15,730
so please, stop trying.
490
00:24:38,755 --> 00:24:40,889
Thank you.
491
00:24:45,062 --> 00:24:46,994
New York Times, Washington Post...
492
00:24:46,996 --> 00:24:48,696
how am I supposed to compete with that?
493
00:24:48,698 --> 00:24:50,364
Got to get creative.
494
00:24:50,366 --> 00:24:51,499
When you're the little fish,
495
00:24:51,501 --> 00:24:53,534
you see things the big fish miss,
496
00:24:53,536 --> 00:24:55,636
'cause they're too busy
puckering up to other big fish.
497
00:24:55,638 --> 00:24:57,205
Whoa.
498
00:24:57,207 --> 00:25:00,241
Darius Tanz. Always wanted
to meet that guy. Hey.
499
00:25:00,243 --> 00:25:02,076
Now that's where you're
missing the story.
500
00:25:02,078 --> 00:25:04,377
You're looking at the wrong fish.
501
00:25:04,379 --> 00:25:06,180
Darius.
502
00:25:06,182 --> 00:25:08,515
So, uh, who are all these people?
503
00:25:08,517 --> 00:25:11,618
Congressmen, diplomats, heads
of state, heads of corporations.
504
00:25:11,620 --> 00:25:13,386
Pretty much everyone who's anyone,
505
00:25:13,388 --> 00:25:15,089
so that makes you...
506
00:25:15,091 --> 00:25:16,456
anyone.
507
00:25:16,458 --> 00:25:17,758
Oh, I'm... I'm honored.
508
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,593
And this is all
part of your big plan, right?
509
00:25:19,595 --> 00:25:22,829
I'm here to make certain
connections, and, uh,
510
00:25:22,831 --> 00:25:25,632
you're here for the free food. Enjoy.
511
00:25:25,634 --> 00:25:28,468
Great, I'll go visit with the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
512
00:25:28,470 --> 00:25:29,703
Try not to spill any wine
513
00:25:29,705 --> 00:25:32,405
or any national security secrets.
514
00:25:32,407 --> 00:25:34,574
How you doing, sir?
515
00:25:36,911 --> 00:25:39,112
Do you mind if I steal
Ms. Barrows for a moment?
516
00:25:39,114 --> 00:25:40,146
Of course.
517
00:25:40,148 --> 00:25:42,648
Uh, it was nice seeing you.
518
00:25:46,721 --> 00:25:48,454
Ironic, don't you think?
People drinking,
519
00:25:48,456 --> 00:25:49,989
celebrating, dancing.
520
00:25:49,991 --> 00:25:52,125
No idea that the world
is coming to an end.
521
00:25:52,127 --> 00:25:53,859
You heard what Harris said.
522
00:25:53,861 --> 00:25:55,227
They have a plan.
523
00:25:55,229 --> 00:25:56,428
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize
524
00:25:56,430 --> 00:25:58,196
you believed all that crap in there.
525
00:25:58,198 --> 00:26:01,233
But I don't want to cause waves
between you and your boyfriend.
526
00:26:01,235 --> 00:26:03,402
- W-What?
- I'm good at reading people.
527
00:26:03,404 --> 00:26:05,404
It's a gift and a curse.
528
00:26:05,406 --> 00:26:08,507
Well, your skills are remedial, at best.
529
00:26:08,509 --> 00:26:11,309
I like you, Grace.
The way you handle yourself.
530
00:26:11,311 --> 00:26:12,911
You are extraordinary.
531
00:26:12,913 --> 00:26:14,746
In an ordinary way.
532
00:26:14,748 --> 00:26:17,048
Wow. Thank you.
533
00:26:17,050 --> 00:26:19,417
That's the worst compliment
I've ever gotten.
534
00:26:19,419 --> 00:26:21,219
Which makes it an insult, actually.
535
00:26:21,221 --> 00:26:22,254
No, it's a gift.
536
00:26:22,256 --> 00:26:24,389
You're tough, loyal, believable.
537
00:26:24,391 --> 00:26:26,957
People trust you even when
maybe they shouldn't.
538
00:26:28,662 --> 00:26:31,429
Darius, it was a pleasure. Good night.
539
00:26:31,431 --> 00:26:33,964
Look, I've known
Harris Edwards for 15 years,
540
00:26:33,966 --> 00:26:35,966
ever since he was
a lowly captain at CENTCOM.
541
00:26:35,968 --> 00:26:37,942
He's a patriot,
but he's also a bureaucrat.
542
00:26:37,966 --> 00:26:39,104
Meaning?
543
00:26:39,105 --> 00:26:41,138
I don't think he's telling
either of us the whole truth.
544
00:26:41,140 --> 00:26:44,474
What if I told you that the
government's plan was bollocks,
545
00:26:44,476 --> 00:26:46,110
that I have a real plan,
546
00:26:46,112 --> 00:26:48,612
but I need someone on the inside?
547
00:26:48,614 --> 00:26:50,614
And what is this plan?
548
00:26:50,616 --> 00:26:53,684
Are you up for some show and tell?
549
00:26:55,754 --> 00:26:56,854
This is Jillian.
550
00:26:56,856 --> 00:26:58,055
Leave a message. Resistance is futile.
551
00:26:58,057 --> 00:27:00,524
Hi, Jillian, it's Liam.
552
00:27:00,526 --> 00:27:03,427
Uh, I'm sorry I disappeared.
553
00:27:03,429 --> 00:27:05,228
It's a long story, but, uh,
554
00:27:05,230 --> 00:27:07,063
I've been thinking about you a lot.
555
00:27:07,065 --> 00:27:09,933
Disappeared on a girl?
556
00:27:09,935 --> 00:27:11,335
What does one make of that?
557
00:27:11,337 --> 00:27:14,504
Uh, one makes nothing of it,
558
00:27:14,506 --> 00:27:16,005
unless one's eavesdropping, apparently.
559
00:27:16,007 --> 00:27:18,474
Well, that's what makes
these parties go round.
560
00:27:18,476 --> 00:27:20,176
So who are you?
561
00:27:20,178 --> 00:27:22,478
Me, I'm... I'm just a nobody.
562
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,580
That's a lot of tuxedo for a nobody.
563
00:27:24,582 --> 00:27:27,250
All right, you got me. I'm
Darius's new head of security.
564
00:27:27,252 --> 00:27:29,452
More dangerous with weapons
or just your bare hands?
565
00:27:29,454 --> 00:27:31,520
You don't want to test it, trust me.
566
00:27:31,522 --> 00:27:32,988
I'm Amanda.
567
00:27:32,990 --> 00:27:34,724
Liam.
568
00:27:34,726 --> 00:27:36,091
What brings you here, Amanda?
569
00:27:36,093 --> 00:27:38,627
Oh, I just snagged an invite
from a friend.
570
00:27:38,629 --> 00:27:40,563
I like to be where the action is.
571
00:27:40,565 --> 00:27:42,498
Never know who you'll meet.
572
00:27:43,934 --> 00:27:45,501
Uh...
573
00:27:45,503 --> 00:27:48,937
Sorry, uh... my, uh...
574
00:27:48,939 --> 00:27:51,139
my ride's leaving. I gotta go.
575
00:27:51,141 --> 00:27:52,607
Oh, I didn't catch your last name, Liam.
576
00:27:52,609 --> 00:27:54,809
That's 'cause I didn't give it to you.
577
00:27:56,247 --> 00:27:58,813
Hey, if you ever want to chat
578
00:27:58,815 --> 00:28:00,949
or hang out, give a ring.
579
00:28:03,988 --> 00:28:05,186
Sure.
580
00:28:22,705 --> 00:28:25,506
Tanz Industries.
581
00:28:25,508 --> 00:28:27,708
This place is legendary.
582
00:28:27,710 --> 00:28:29,076
Ten miles from D.C.,
583
00:28:29,078 --> 00:28:31,745
but a world away...
my home away from home.
584
00:28:33,682 --> 00:28:35,082
Welcome to the Treehouse.
585
00:28:35,084 --> 00:28:37,451
Hello, Darius.
586
00:28:37,453 --> 00:28:39,219
I had a treehouse growing up,
587
00:28:39,221 --> 00:28:40,888
and it looked nothing like this.
588
00:28:40,890 --> 00:28:43,156
Anything and everything
you can dream up,
589
00:28:43,158 --> 00:28:45,358
you can design and build it here.
590
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,127
An inspiration factory.
591
00:28:47,129 --> 00:28:49,596
Willy Wonka, without the Oompa-Loompas.
592
00:28:49,598 --> 00:28:52,966
Okay, you win man cave
of the universe award.
593
00:28:52,968 --> 00:28:54,600
What was so important it couldn't wait?
594
00:28:54,602 --> 00:28:57,003
Tess, please run program T6.
595
00:28:57,005 --> 00:28:58,538
Program T6 loaded.
596
00:28:58,540 --> 00:29:01,174
Playback.
597
00:29:01,176 --> 00:29:02,809
What are we looking at?
598
00:29:02,811 --> 00:29:06,679
This is RIVA: my Reusable
Interplanetary Vehicle,
599
00:29:06,681 --> 00:29:08,915
designed to be a cargo
transport to Mars.
600
00:29:08,917 --> 00:29:11,451
How is that gonna stop a meteor?
601
00:29:11,453 --> 00:29:13,252
It's not.
602
00:29:14,288 --> 00:29:16,656
We're re-purposing it...
603
00:29:16,658 --> 00:29:19,492
as a lifeboat... this is an ark, Grace.
604
00:29:19,494 --> 00:29:23,763
It's gonna save the human race
from... extinction.
605
00:29:33,652 --> 00:29:36,527
You're planning for the
extinction of the human race?
606
00:29:36,776 --> 00:29:40,117
No, I'm planning for the
continuation of the human race.
607
00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:42,386
Have you ever heard
of the concept "MVP"...
608
00:29:42,388 --> 00:29:43,754
minimal viable population?
609
00:29:43,756 --> 00:29:45,456
Each species has a threshold.
610
00:29:45,458 --> 00:29:47,258
The minimum number
of individuals required
611
00:29:47,260 --> 00:29:49,993
- to prevent extinction.
- Exactly.
612
00:29:49,995 --> 00:29:52,996
For humans, that number is 160 saved.
613
00:29:52,998 --> 00:29:55,298
Just 160 well-chosen souls
614
00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:56,833
save the species.
615
00:29:56,835 --> 00:29:58,701
So your plan is to make a getaway
616
00:29:58,703 --> 00:30:02,372
on a spaceship with 160 of your besties
617
00:30:02,374 --> 00:30:03,907
and fly to Mars?
618
00:30:03,909 --> 00:30:05,575
Well, we might have to orbit for a while
619
00:30:05,577 --> 00:30:06,709
until we set up shop.
620
00:30:06,711 --> 00:30:08,544
This was supposed to be
a seven-year plan.
621
00:30:08,546 --> 00:30:09,812
I'm accelerating it.
622
00:30:09,814 --> 00:30:11,714
- I'm sorry, this is...
- Nuts.
623
00:30:11,716 --> 00:30:12,948
You're betting on
the government to fail.
624
00:30:12,950 --> 00:30:14,450
- I'm not.
- I don't make bets.
625
00:30:14,452 --> 00:30:17,019
I make calculated decisions
based on facts,
626
00:30:17,021 --> 00:30:18,954
and the fact is the government's
plan won't work.
627
00:30:18,956 --> 00:30:21,658
They need technology that
hasn't been invented yet.
628
00:30:21,660 --> 00:30:23,058
They won't tell you that, of course.
629
00:30:23,060 --> 00:30:24,860
Or maybe they haven't even
figured that part out yet.
630
00:30:24,862 --> 00:30:27,096
Why did you bring me here, Darius?
631
00:30:27,098 --> 00:30:32,034
If I can expedite production,
make a dozen RIVAs or more,
632
00:30:32,036 --> 00:30:34,937
instead of 160 people,
maybe I can save thousands.
633
00:30:34,939 --> 00:30:37,907
But I need access to
information and resources
634
00:30:37,909 --> 00:30:39,574
that only a few people
in the government have.
635
00:30:39,576 --> 00:30:41,743
I need an inside man.
636
00:30:41,745 --> 00:30:43,578
Or woman, as they say.
637
00:30:43,580 --> 00:30:46,881
You're asking me to divert resources,
638
00:30:46,883 --> 00:30:51,152
spy on my government,
commit treason for some
639
00:30:51,154 --> 00:30:53,722
insane narcissistic suicide mission?
640
00:30:53,724 --> 00:30:56,958
The only suicide mission
is wearing blinders, Grace.
641
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,993
Harris assured me that they...
642
00:30:58,995 --> 00:31:01,896
Harris will trot you out
to deliver his lies,
643
00:31:01,898 --> 00:31:03,397
the masses will believe you,
644
00:31:03,399 --> 00:31:05,333
and no one will be prepared
for what's coming
645
00:31:05,335 --> 00:31:07,836
except for me and the people
on this list.
646
00:31:09,706 --> 00:31:12,873
I don't want to save 160 people.
647
00:31:12,875 --> 00:31:14,408
I want to save everyone.
648
00:31:31,393 --> 00:31:32,692
Look, man, I, uh...
649
00:31:32,694 --> 00:31:34,828
I want to help you, but
650
00:31:34,830 --> 00:31:36,596
there's this girl up in Boston,
651
00:31:36,598 --> 00:31:38,866
and if this is really
the end, I guess I, uh,
652
00:31:38,868 --> 00:31:41,869
I wanna live before I die.
653
00:31:41,871 --> 00:31:44,872
Karissa, get the plane ready.
654
00:31:44,874 --> 00:31:48,708
No, I'll, uh... I'll
take the train, thanks.
655
00:32:00,021 --> 00:32:02,088
- Is he available?
- He's not in, Ms. Barrows.
656
00:32:02,090 --> 00:32:04,423
Oh, I didn't see anything
on the schedule.
657
00:32:04,425 --> 00:32:06,292
I expect him back early this evening.
658
00:32:32,052 --> 00:32:34,453
So you were with Darius
659
00:32:34,455 --> 00:32:36,354
Tanz at a ball in
660
00:32:36,356 --> 00:32:38,556
Washington, D.C.? More of a reception.
661
00:32:38,558 --> 00:32:40,191
Yeah, I wasn't blowing you off, I swear.
662
00:32:40,193 --> 00:32:42,961
No, but he had offered you
a job, and you said, "No."
663
00:32:42,963 --> 00:32:44,529
Why?
664
00:32:44,531 --> 00:32:50,168
Uh, because I have
unfinished business here.
665
00:32:50,170 --> 00:32:52,804
Anyway, what's going on
with you? Tell me about you.
666
00:32:52,806 --> 00:32:56,173
I actually got some really
good news yesterday.
667
00:32:56,174 --> 00:32:57,132
Yeah?
668
00:32:57,157 --> 00:32:59,844
Yeah, this publisher liked
one of my short stories.
669
00:32:59,846 --> 00:33:01,612
- That's fantastic!
- Yeah.
670
00:33:01,614 --> 00:33:03,047
What's it about?
671
00:33:03,049 --> 00:33:05,249
What else? The future.
672
00:33:10,022 --> 00:33:11,388
Hey, let's take a road trip.
673
00:33:11,389 --> 00:33:12,808
What?
674
00:33:12,833 --> 00:33:14,358
Yeah, I want to spend
all my time with you,
675
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,126
travel, see the world
before it's too late.
676
00:33:16,128 --> 00:33:18,662
What about your research?
Screw my research.
677
00:33:18,664 --> 00:33:21,332
I want to have fun, enjoy life.
678
00:33:50,128 --> 00:33:52,195
Sorry.
679
00:33:52,197 --> 00:33:54,397
Hey, hey, hey,
Liam, maybe we should go home.
680
00:33:54,399 --> 00:33:55,999
No, no, the night is young.
681
00:33:56,001 --> 00:33:57,467
I want to live before I...
682
00:33:57,469 --> 00:34:00,235
Hey. You got a problem, little man?
683
00:34:00,237 --> 00:34:02,204
Yeah. You.
684
00:34:03,307 --> 00:34:04,607
Yes, sir,
685
00:34:04,609 --> 00:34:06,441
all the information
will be sent your way.
686
00:34:08,646 --> 00:34:10,713
Hey.
687
00:34:10,715 --> 00:34:12,481
- What are you still doing here?
- Oh, I had
688
00:34:12,483 --> 00:34:14,082
a few things to get out the door.
689
00:34:14,084 --> 00:34:17,886
Where have you been?
690
00:34:19,490 --> 00:34:22,290
Harris, you got to keep me in the loop.
691
00:34:22,292 --> 00:34:24,159
Otherwise, I can't do my job.
692
00:34:24,161 --> 00:34:26,128
Yeah.
693
00:34:31,034 --> 00:34:33,835
There was a burn test today
of the Goliath 2 rocket engine.
694
00:34:33,837 --> 00:34:35,770
The one being used
to launch the gravity tractor?
695
00:34:35,772 --> 00:34:37,939
- Mm-hmm.
- And how'd it go?
696
00:34:37,941 --> 00:34:40,374
We're right on schedule.
697
00:34:40,376 --> 00:34:42,343
Oh, that's fantastic.
698
00:34:42,345 --> 00:34:44,512
Yeah.
699
00:34:44,514 --> 00:34:46,848
Fantastic.
700
00:34:52,588 --> 00:34:54,121
- Hey, Carn.
- Hey.
701
00:34:54,123 --> 00:34:55,656
How's the night shift?
702
00:34:55,658 --> 00:34:57,191
Oh, it's a barrel of laughs.
703
00:34:58,727 --> 00:35:01,162
I need to see satellite
imagery from Wallops Island
704
00:35:01,164 --> 00:35:02,796
from around 2:00 this afternoon.
705
00:35:02,798 --> 00:35:06,232
Uh, Grace, this is the Pentagon,
not Best Buy.
706
00:35:06,234 --> 00:35:07,568
No uplinks without clearance
707
00:35:07,570 --> 00:35:09,069
or an approved telemetry request.
708
00:35:09,071 --> 00:35:10,537
Clearance I have.
709
00:35:10,539 --> 00:35:12,338
It's time I'm short on.
710
00:35:14,043 --> 00:35:16,910
Remember when you broke
your ankle playing softball?
711
00:35:16,912 --> 00:35:18,411
How long before your request for
712
00:35:18,413 --> 00:35:19,846
a closer parking spot went through?
713
00:35:19,848 --> 00:35:21,314
All I'm asking is to
714
00:35:21,316 --> 00:35:22,882
cut through a little red tape.
715
00:35:22,884 --> 00:35:24,784
You're gonna owe me for this.
716
00:35:24,786 --> 00:35:29,055
Nats tickets, box seats,
right behind the dugout.
717
00:35:30,725 --> 00:35:32,525
Okay.
718
00:35:37,865 --> 00:35:39,565
What are we looking at?
719
00:35:39,567 --> 00:35:43,669
Fragments of a Tanz Goliath 2 rocket.
720
00:35:43,671 --> 00:35:45,204
Can you back it up?
721
00:35:45,206 --> 00:35:47,073
Uh...
722
00:35:47,447 --> 00:35:50,838
Not sure what they were testing,
but I'd say they failed.
723
00:35:51,079 --> 00:35:53,079
With flying colors.
724
00:36:01,894 --> 00:36:03,660
Shut it down, Carn.
725
00:36:03,662 --> 00:36:04,895
Is-is everything okay?
726
00:36:04,897 --> 00:36:06,964
I'll have those Nats tickets
for you stat.
727
00:36:06,966 --> 00:36:09,200
All right.
728
00:36:20,646 --> 00:36:23,413
What the...
729
00:36:53,711 --> 00:36:55,310
Hey.
730
00:36:55,312 --> 00:36:57,780
Hey.
731
00:36:59,684 --> 00:37:02,618
You putting final touches on the speech?
732
00:37:02,620 --> 00:37:04,620
Yeah.
733
00:37:06,190 --> 00:37:08,657
Zoe.
734
00:37:09,927 --> 00:37:12,394
I'm sorry.
735
00:37:14,798 --> 00:37:17,966
You're right. I can't make
the world safe for you.
736
00:37:22,305 --> 00:37:24,072
It's your life.
737
00:37:24,074 --> 00:37:27,442
I want you to live it.
738
00:37:27,444 --> 00:37:29,143
Mom, are you all right?
739
00:37:29,145 --> 00:37:31,646
Yeah. Yeah.
740
00:37:33,149 --> 00:37:34,649
I just love you.
741
00:37:34,651 --> 00:37:37,452
I know.
742
00:37:52,135 --> 00:37:54,702
Thank you.
743
00:37:58,574 --> 00:38:00,874
You see that?
744
00:38:00,876 --> 00:38:03,711
That is Mars at perigee.
745
00:38:03,713 --> 00:38:07,347
It's as close
as it's gonna get all year.
746
00:38:07,349 --> 00:38:10,918
I don't usually drink like that.
747
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,820
Then why did you?
748
00:38:16,725 --> 00:38:18,191
Can I ask you something?
749
00:38:18,193 --> 00:38:19,626
Mm-hmm.
750
00:38:19,628 --> 00:38:22,061
If you were writing a story about a...
751
00:38:22,063 --> 00:38:25,565
a guy who knew the world
was coming to an end,
752
00:38:25,567 --> 00:38:28,701
and he could either
save a couple thousand people
753
00:38:28,703 --> 00:38:32,605
or live the rest of his days
with a beautiful woman,
754
00:38:32,607 --> 00:38:34,974
what would you have him do?
755
00:38:34,976 --> 00:38:36,743
It depends.
756
00:38:36,745 --> 00:38:39,478
Is the character supposed to be a hero
757
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,681
or a loser?
758
00:38:41,683 --> 00:38:43,249
Ow.
759
00:38:43,251 --> 00:38:46,318
Uh...
760
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,487
a hero.
761
00:38:48,489 --> 00:38:52,424
Well, then he has to
sacrifice his happiness
762
00:38:52,426 --> 00:38:54,726
for the sake of humanity.
763
00:38:56,130 --> 00:39:00,932
Even if he thinks
he's in love with the woman?
764
00:39:00,934 --> 00:39:04,136
Mm, especially if he is.
765
00:39:04,138 --> 00:39:06,471
Then it's a true sacrifice.
766
00:39:14,281 --> 00:39:16,982
Tell me more about the stars.
767
00:39:20,220 --> 00:39:21,553
The stars, okay.
768
00:39:21,555 --> 00:39:24,088
Uh...
769
00:39:24,090 --> 00:39:28,693
That's Sirius, aka the dog star.
770
00:39:29,729 --> 00:39:33,198
It's the brightest star in the sky.
771
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,000
And then up here, see this one up here?
772
00:39:38,437 --> 00:39:41,706
Class of 2017, it is an honor
773
00:39:41,708 --> 00:39:43,974
to be able to address you all
here today.
774
00:39:43,976 --> 00:39:47,578
The future is not just handed to us.
775
00:39:47,580 --> 00:39:50,447
We create it.
776
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,794
Life is filled with possibilities.
777
00:40:04,796 --> 00:40:09,065
There is no tomorrow without us.
778
00:40:09,067 --> 00:40:13,569
My mother taught me at a young age
779
00:40:13,571 --> 00:40:18,074
that, as individuals, we are powerful.
780
00:40:21,780 --> 00:40:25,748
How we use that power is up to us.
781
00:40:32,290 --> 00:40:36,359
I dreaded all the emotion of
saying good-bye to my friends,
782
00:40:36,361 --> 00:40:37,693
my family.
783
00:40:37,695 --> 00:40:39,862
As exciting as the future is...
784
00:40:41,766 --> 00:40:43,999
...it's also scary.
785
00:40:46,804 --> 00:40:49,004
It's the unknown.
786
00:40:50,540 --> 00:40:52,374
Hello?
787
00:40:52,376 --> 00:40:56,511
But then I started realizing
this isn't the end,
788
00:40:56,513 --> 00:40:58,546
this is just the beginning.
789
00:40:59,750 --> 00:41:03,885
My challenge for the class of 2017?
790
00:41:03,887 --> 00:41:05,587
Make a difference.
791
00:41:05,589 --> 00:41:08,856
There are problems big and small
that need to be solved,
792
00:41:08,858 --> 00:41:13,261
and we can't wait
for someone else to solve them.
793
00:41:13,263 --> 00:41:15,296
It's up to us now.
794
00:41:22,272 --> 00:41:23,938
Screw you and your ark.
795
00:41:25,374 --> 00:41:27,441
Nice to see you, too.
796
00:41:28,444 --> 00:41:30,644
You're right, Darius.
797
00:41:30,646 --> 00:41:32,112
The government's plan won't work.
798
00:41:32,114 --> 00:41:33,980
They need you.
799
00:41:33,982 --> 00:41:36,583
You said the technology
doesn't exist yet.
800
00:41:36,585 --> 00:41:38,885
If you're so damn smart, invent it.
801
00:41:38,887 --> 00:41:41,455
You've got the resources,
the talent, the money.
802
00:41:41,457 --> 00:41:44,124
Don't save 160 people, save them all.
803
00:41:44,126 --> 00:41:46,293
Every last one.
804
00:41:46,295 --> 00:41:48,829
Come work with us.
805
00:41:48,831 --> 00:41:51,832
Let's do this together.
806
00:41:51,834 --> 00:41:54,434
I will do whatever it takes.
807
00:41:54,436 --> 00:41:56,803
I'll roll through red tape,
whatever you need from me,
808
00:41:56,805 --> 00:41:59,572
but, damn it, my daughter
deserves a future.
809
00:41:59,574 --> 00:42:01,041
They all do.
810
00:42:03,177 --> 00:42:05,077
And I'm not ready
for all of this to end.
811
00:42:05,079 --> 00:42:08,080
Grace...
812
00:42:08,082 --> 00:42:11,384
y-you had me at "screw you."
813
00:42:15,824 --> 00:42:17,223
Hi.
814
00:42:20,061 --> 00:42:22,127
Where can I put my stuff?
815
00:42:27,222 --> 00:42:29,935
In the words of the great
humanitarian Mother Teresa:
816
00:42:29,937 --> 00:42:31,971
"Yesterday is gone.
817
00:42:31,973 --> 00:42:34,639
"Tomorrow has not yet come.
818
00:42:34,641 --> 00:42:35,940
"We have only today.
819
00:42:35,942 --> 00:42:39,310
So, let us begin."
