Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:47,798 --> 00:00:49,675
- Morning.
- Morning.
2
00:01:00,435 --> 00:01:01,520
What's this?
3
00:01:01,979 --> 00:01:03,981
It's just some paperwork for you to sign.
4
00:01:11,572 --> 00:01:14,741
What? You're canceling our cruise
to the Bahamas?
5
00:01:14,825 --> 00:01:17,619
If you're going back to space,
it doesn't make much sense, does it?
6
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,539
- Wait, what?
- So which mission is it gonna be?
7
00:01:21,206 --> 00:01:23,959
You've already been to the moon,
so that's out of the question.
8
00:01:24,042 --> 00:01:26,628
And Skylab, you know, is doing good work,
9
00:01:26,712 --> 00:01:29,381
but let's be honest,
it's far too boring for you.
10
00:01:29,464 --> 00:01:34,553
So I'm guessing
the first flight of Pathfinder, yeah?
11
00:01:35,554 --> 00:01:38,015
I mean, you know,
it's cutting-edge technology
12
00:01:38,098 --> 00:01:40,225
filled with stuff that can malfunction.
13
00:01:40,309 --> 00:01:42,060
It's a test pilot's dream.
14
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:48,442
Karen, I'm not going back.
I'm perfectly happy...
15
00:01:48,525 --> 00:01:49,568
No, you're not, Ed.
16
00:01:50,402 --> 00:01:52,279
You made that very clear last night.
17
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:54,656
What are you talking about?
18
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:56,742
You said you made a promise to yourself
19
00:01:56,825 --> 00:01:59,161
that you would never
leave me and Kelly alone,
20
00:01:59,244 --> 00:02:01,580
no matter what you had to give up.
21
00:02:03,665 --> 00:02:07,711
Come on.
I was very upset, and I overreacted.
22
00:02:07,794 --> 00:02:09,630
And you said exactly what you feel.
23
00:02:12,257 --> 00:02:15,093
- What I meant was...
- I know what you meant, Ed.
24
00:02:18,055 --> 00:02:20,807
It's not just... that.
25
00:02:25,103 --> 00:02:27,583
You don't think I notice
the look in your eyes at every launch.
26
00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:30,651
Or when you talk about Pathfinder.
27
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:44,373
We raised a wonderful daughter.
28
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:49,628
And you've been there for her
every step of the way.
29
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:54,049
And now she's going off
to live her dreams,
30
00:02:54,132 --> 00:02:56,134
and there's no reason
that you shouldn't too.
31
00:03:00,973 --> 00:03:02,599
I won't put you through that again.
32
00:03:02,683 --> 00:03:03,684
I can handle it.
33
00:03:08,397 --> 00:03:11,817
But you should know,
it's gonna be different this time.
34
00:03:13,277 --> 00:03:15,863
You know, I have a business to run.
35
00:03:16,989 --> 00:03:20,367
So I can't sit by a squawk box all day
and night wondering if you're okay.
36
00:03:21,535 --> 00:03:23,287
It's not that I don't support you.
37
00:03:24,079 --> 00:03:25,664
I do.
38
00:03:25,747 --> 00:03:28,333
I can't get sucked into all of that again.
39
00:03:29,793 --> 00:03:30,794
I can't.
40
00:03:33,922 --> 00:03:34,923
Then.
41
00:03:36,175 --> 00:03:37,384
I shouldn't go.
42
00:03:37,467 --> 00:03:38,468
Yes, you should.
43
00:03:41,221 --> 00:03:43,765
Do you really think you can
sit behind a desk from 8:00 to 6:00
44
00:03:43,849 --> 00:03:45,809
for another 15 years?
45
00:03:54,776 --> 00:03:55,777
You really think...
46
00:03:55,861 --> 00:03:58,197
Yes. I do.
47
00:04:05,204 --> 00:04:06,371
I said I can handle it.
48
00:04:07,289 --> 00:04:08,290
And I will.
49
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:28,597
Sometimes you just gotta stop
wringing your hands,
50
00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:31,934
and fly, or nothing gets done.
51
00:06:33,602 --> 00:06:34,811
Roger that, Gordo.
52
00:06:35,771 --> 00:06:38,065
It's refreshing
to have you back in the saddle.
53
00:06:38,148 --> 00:06:39,149
It's good to be back.
54
00:06:39,691 --> 00:06:42,569
I miss you hard chargers. Test pilots.
55
00:06:43,278 --> 00:06:45,697
Yeah, we like to push everything
to the fire wall, all right.
56
00:06:45,781 --> 00:06:46,782
Amen.
57
00:06:50,244 --> 00:06:52,079
You good with this suit, Gordo?
58
00:06:52,162 --> 00:06:55,999
If not, we could put you
into one of the old A7LB's.
59
00:06:56,083 --> 00:06:57,084
I like it.
60
00:06:58,710 --> 00:07:00,212
Can raise my hands a lot higher.
61
00:07:01,129 --> 00:07:05,259
Gotta say though,
don't much like this turtle shell.
62
00:07:05,342 --> 00:07:07,010
Durability comes with a price.
63
00:07:07,094 --> 00:07:08,512
But be sure you're comfortable.
64
00:07:08,595 --> 00:07:10,490
You'll be spending a lot of time
in one of these.
65
00:07:10,514 --> 00:07:13,100
Loving every minute, thinking of you.
66
00:07:13,183 --> 00:07:14,685
You never give up, do you?
67
00:07:15,018 --> 00:07:17,020
Charm looms large in my legend.
68
00:07:19,982 --> 00:07:22,651
Just the brain bucket
and you're ready to rock.
69
00:07:22,734 --> 00:07:23,735
About time.
70
00:07:39,418 --> 00:07:40,419
You okay? All good?
71
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,855
I can't hear you.
72
00:08:05,194 --> 00:08:06,278
Comm's on.
73
00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:08,655
Gordo, are you okay in there?
74
00:08:09,239 --> 00:08:10,282
Yeah, I'm good.
75
00:08:11,366 --> 00:08:12,826
Comm's cut out.
76
00:08:23,253 --> 00:08:25,648
- You look a little flushed.
- Yeah, it's kinda hot in there.
77
00:08:25,672 --> 00:08:28,133
We'll swap out the CCA
and get you rolling inside ten minutes.
78
00:08:28,217 --> 00:08:29,426
That's a no go.
79
00:08:30,260 --> 00:08:31,762
Might have to scrub this for today.
80
00:08:31,845 --> 00:08:34,222
I just remembered
I'm due over at building 9.
81
00:08:34,306 --> 00:08:36,683
I gotta take a leak,
and I'm not gonna use the damn MAG.
82
00:09:00,707 --> 00:09:03,085
I'm telling you, Dan, keep an eye on her.
83
00:09:03,168 --> 00:09:05,254
I know Annapolis
has changed and everything,
84
00:09:05,337 --> 00:09:07,005
but it hasn't changed that much.
85
00:09:07,506 --> 00:09:11,593
Don't let any of those midshipmen
razz my daughter, okay?
86
00:09:12,094 --> 00:09:13,262
Aye, aye, sir.
87
00:09:14,930 --> 00:09:17,015
Hey, hey! Where you going with that?
88
00:09:19,810 --> 00:09:21,311
- Hi, Bob.
- Hi, Bob.
89
00:09:21,395 --> 00:09:22,396
Hi, Bob!
90
00:09:23,438 --> 00:09:24,439
Grab a glass.
91
00:09:27,568 --> 00:09:28,735
What are we celebrating?
92
00:09:29,736 --> 00:09:31,238
Well
93
00:09:31,321 --> 00:09:35,075
two old-timers managed to finish first
and second on their proficiency tests.
94
00:09:35,158 --> 00:09:36,618
I will drink to that.
95
00:09:42,374 --> 00:09:43,709
Y'all did good.
96
00:09:43,792 --> 00:09:46,211
Waxed the tails
of those pimply-faced rookies.
97
00:09:47,296 --> 00:09:48,297
Expected nothing less.
98
00:09:48,380 --> 00:09:50,799
Okay, now what are we drinking to
this time?
99
00:09:51,842 --> 00:09:56,305
Someone we all know and love
and deeply admire.
100
00:09:56,388 --> 00:09:58,056
One of the greatest,
101
00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:01,393
if... not the greatest astronaut
of our time
102
00:10:01,476 --> 00:10:04,605
has decided to return to space
and command Pathfinder.
103
00:10:05,814 --> 00:10:06,815
Neil Armstrong.
104
00:10:07,316 --> 00:10:08,317
Frank Sedgewick.
105
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,068
Fuck y'all. I'm going back.
106
00:10:11,278 --> 00:10:13,071
We heard. We heard.
107
00:10:13,155 --> 00:10:15,032
Yeah, word travels fast.
108
00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:19,453
Hey, I thought you didn't miss it
and you had no desire to go back?
109
00:10:20,287 --> 00:10:21,371
You inspired me.
110
00:10:22,831 --> 00:10:24,833
So, you gave yourself Pathfinder.
111
00:10:25,834 --> 00:10:27,085
Must be nice to be king.
112
00:10:27,169 --> 00:10:32,007
What can I say? I got an eye
for spotting talent, like with you guys.
113
00:10:33,175 --> 00:10:35,385
I meant what I said. Y'all did great.
114
00:10:35,802 --> 00:10:38,472
I mean, that's a bit of a challenge.
115
00:10:38,972 --> 00:10:41,934
After all those years,
just jump right back into the deep end
116
00:10:42,017 --> 00:10:44,728
and making it look easy.
117
00:10:47,147 --> 00:10:48,148
It's impressive.
118
00:10:52,027 --> 00:10:53,111
You okay, Gordo?
119
00:10:54,446 --> 00:10:55,447
Yeah.
120
00:10:58,075 --> 00:10:59,409
Something I should know about?
121
00:10:59,493 --> 00:11:00,494
No.
122
00:11:03,247 --> 00:11:04,248
Okay.
123
00:11:05,916 --> 00:11:08,001
I mean... It's just.
124
00:11:09,628 --> 00:11:12,840
I had a weird little moment
in my suit today.
125
00:11:15,217 --> 00:11:17,344
- Weird moment? Where?
- Like what?
126
00:11:17,719 --> 00:11:19,388
It was nothing. It was just.
127
00:11:20,764 --> 00:11:24,101
I felt trapped and short of breath and.
128
00:11:25,352 --> 00:11:26,353
I had to.
129
00:11:31,275 --> 00:11:32,693
I had to take my helmet off.
130
00:11:38,490 --> 00:11:40,093
- Yeah.
- Did you tell anybody else about this?
131
00:11:40,117 --> 00:11:41,118
Course not.
132
00:11:46,456 --> 00:11:49,334
You didn't... see anything?
133
00:11:49,418 --> 00:11:51,128
No. No, it was nothing like that.
134
00:11:51,211 --> 00:11:54,840
Trust me, it's just, you know,
135
00:11:55,382 --> 00:11:57,176
like I said, felt a little hemmed in.
136
00:11:57,593 --> 00:11:58,594
Yeah.
137
00:12:02,848 --> 00:12:06,935
Look, what happened up there
was nine years ago.
138
00:12:07,436 --> 00:12:09,521
You're not that guy.
139
00:12:09,605 --> 00:12:11,440
- I know.
- You're a different person now.
140
00:12:11,523 --> 00:12:14,026
And you've been to therapy.
You've dealt with your issues.
141
00:12:14,109 --> 00:12:15,360
Yeah. I know.
142
00:12:15,444 --> 00:12:18,363
You finally cut the cord with Tracy.
143
00:12:18,447 --> 00:12:21,992
I mean, you're on the upswing, buddy.
You're getting your mojo back!
144
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:24,077
I am. I haven't felt this good in years.
145
00:12:24,161 --> 00:12:26,205
- It was just a moment, is all.
- Yeah.
146
00:12:26,288 --> 00:12:27,289
No biggie.
147
00:12:27,706 --> 00:12:29,666
- Good. Good. Glad to hear it.
- No biggie.
148
00:12:38,634 --> 00:12:39,801
How you holding up?
149
00:12:41,178 --> 00:12:43,889
Fine. Feels good to be back.
150
00:12:46,475 --> 00:12:49,269
I gotta go to Dallas
to see Clayton's sister tomorrow,
151
00:12:49,978 --> 00:12:51,480
take care of some family business.
152
00:12:51,563 --> 00:12:53,065
Really not looking forward to it.
153
00:12:53,565 --> 00:12:54,816
All right.
154
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,987
So, Ed, now that you are stepping out
155
00:12:59,947 --> 00:13:01,949
who's taking over the Astronaut Office?
156
00:13:10,249 --> 00:13:11,250
Molly?
157
00:13:12,501 --> 00:13:14,086
Ed? Is that you?
158
00:13:14,169 --> 00:13:15,170
Yep.
159
00:13:15,587 --> 00:13:16,922
Come on in. I'm in here.
160
00:13:27,933 --> 00:13:30,310
You always leave the door open
while you're bathing alone?
161
00:13:30,394 --> 00:13:31,728
Who says I'm alone?
162
00:13:33,230 --> 00:13:37,401
Golly gee.
Visitation from the chief astronaut.
163
00:13:37,484 --> 00:13:39,027
To what do I owe this honor?
164
00:13:39,111 --> 00:13:43,657
You missed our golf game again,
so I thought I'd check in.
165
00:13:43,740 --> 00:13:47,494
Right. You wanna get a beer
before you drop the other shoe, or...
166
00:13:51,123 --> 00:13:54,501
No. I'm just... Well, a beer is fine.
167
00:14:01,466 --> 00:14:05,262
Forgive me for not getting up.
Gravity's a bitch.
168
00:14:10,809 --> 00:14:15,564
I'm here to put you back to work.
169
00:14:16,064 --> 00:14:18,817
This wild, happy, free life
has got to stop.
170
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:25,449
Why do I think I am not gonna like this?
171
00:14:25,532 --> 00:14:27,284
Because you know me.
172
00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:30,454
I want you to run the Astronaut Office.
173
00:14:33,248 --> 00:14:36,126
Me run the Astronaut Office.
What the hell for?
174
00:14:36,210 --> 00:14:38,670
Well, someone just put me
in command of Pathfinder.
175
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:40,964
Wow.
176
00:14:41,924 --> 00:14:46,345
You just assigned yourself the command
of the E ticket ride of the decade.
177
00:14:48,555 --> 00:14:50,682
Yep. Just like you told me to.
178
00:14:50,766 --> 00:14:52,935
Jesus Christ.
You weren't supposed to listen to me.
179
00:14:53,018 --> 00:14:54,394
I was just messing with you.
180
00:14:54,478 --> 00:14:55,562
Well, you were right.
181
00:14:55,646 --> 00:14:59,525
And assigning your own missions
is one of the perks of the job.
182
00:15:01,902 --> 00:15:03,570
That's a pretty ballsy move, Ed.
183
00:15:04,738 --> 00:15:06,031
You've never flown a shuttle.
184
00:15:06,698 --> 00:15:08,283
No one's flown Pathfinder.
185
00:15:09,326 --> 00:15:13,372
Looks to me like you just handed yourself
a golden opportunity to screw the pooch.
186
00:15:13,455 --> 00:15:15,541
Always the optimist.
187
00:15:17,042 --> 00:15:18,043
So what do you say?
188
00:15:18,377 --> 00:15:21,880
I say no to that crown of thorns.
189
00:15:21,964 --> 00:15:24,591
Look, don't overlook the upside.
190
00:15:25,092 --> 00:15:26,760
Homage from favor seekers.
191
00:15:26,844 --> 00:15:30,264
Opportunities to wreak vengeance
on people who cross you.
192
00:15:33,934 --> 00:15:35,102
That sounds fun.
193
00:15:35,894 --> 00:15:37,771
But no. No.
194
00:15:39,314 --> 00:15:40,315
I just wanna fly.
195
00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:41,775
So, fly.
196
00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:47,197
You assign your own flights.
When your six-month medical hold ends.
197
00:15:51,451 --> 00:15:52,703
I pull a Baldwin?
198
00:15:53,537 --> 00:15:55,998
Put myself in the coolest thing flying?
199
00:16:00,752 --> 00:16:02,004
You bastard.
200
00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:06,133
You start in a week.
You can thank me later.
201
00:16:06,758 --> 00:16:10,137
A bottle of Glenfarclas 25 would be nice.
202
00:16:10,220 --> 00:16:12,222
Although Glenfiddich never disappoints.
203
00:16:19,229 --> 00:16:20,606
Molly Cobb
204
00:16:22,107 --> 00:16:24,568
chief of the Astronaut Office.
205
00:16:31,491 --> 00:16:32,534
No way.
206
00:16:35,829 --> 00:16:37,831
I want you to know
I appreciated your call.
207
00:16:38,749 --> 00:16:41,084
We never got a chance to talk
at the funeral.
208
00:16:41,168 --> 00:16:43,587
- I wanted to...
- You said you have something for me.
209
00:16:45,464 --> 00:16:46,465
Yes.
210
00:16:48,133 --> 00:16:51,136
I finally worked up the nerve
to go through Clayton's closet.
211
00:16:51,762 --> 00:16:54,723
This was on the floor, shoved in the back.
212
00:16:55,766 --> 00:16:59,728
There are some personal items in here
I thought you might want.
213
00:17:02,898 --> 00:17:05,692
These are some of Clayton's report cards
from elementary school.
214
00:17:12,491 --> 00:17:16,703
These are some birthday cards
your mother wrote to him.
215
00:17:28,257 --> 00:17:29,842
Thank you for bringing me these.
216
00:17:36,223 --> 00:17:38,600
I know you and I
haven't always seen eye to eye,
217
00:17:39,518 --> 00:17:44,439
but I'm hoping we can find a way
to make a fresh start.
218
00:17:46,984 --> 00:17:47,985
Why?
219
00:17:50,404 --> 00:17:52,114
Because we both loved Clayton.
220
00:17:56,994 --> 00:17:58,412
What's that supposed to mean?
221
00:17:59,204 --> 00:18:03,166
I know you wanted him to admire you,
worship the ground you walked on.
222
00:18:03,250 --> 00:18:05,335
Is that what you call love?
223
00:18:05,419 --> 00:18:07,045
That's not at all what I...
224
00:18:09,423 --> 00:18:10,507
You don't know me.
225
00:18:11,884 --> 00:18:14,261
- You never bothered to.
- I know you, all right.
226
00:18:15,679 --> 00:18:18,056
Clayton told me
what really happened on the moon.
227
00:18:21,685 --> 00:18:22,686
What?
228
00:18:24,229 --> 00:18:26,273
- He wouldn't.
- He's never kept secrets from me.
229
00:18:27,608 --> 00:18:29,276
Told me how you really broke your arm.
230
00:18:31,862 --> 00:18:34,531
All to protect some white man's career.
231
00:18:34,615 --> 00:18:39,369
That man was my friend.
A part of my crew.
232
00:18:39,995 --> 00:18:41,764
The color of his skin
had nothing to do with it.
233
00:18:41,788 --> 00:18:45,542
And look how they've rewarded you.
Made you a laughingstock.
234
00:18:45,626 --> 00:18:48,337
If that were true, why would they send me
back to the moon?
235
00:18:50,005 --> 00:18:51,215
You're going again?
236
00:18:54,051 --> 00:18:55,260
Well, that's just great.
237
00:18:56,512 --> 00:18:58,347
You're gonna help them spend millions
238
00:18:58,430 --> 00:19:00,474
to find out if beans
will sprout on the moon.
239
00:19:00,557 --> 00:19:04,269
If they'd used that money to fund
a decent counseling program at the VA,
240
00:19:04,353 --> 00:19:06,104
maybe Clay wouldn't have killed himself.
241
00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:11,276
I don't know why I thought this time
would be any different.
242
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:12,903
You are never gonna change.
243
00:19:14,780 --> 00:19:15,781
Hold on.
244
00:19:17,324 --> 00:19:18,825
I've got something for you too.
245
00:19:32,381 --> 00:19:33,465
This was Clay's?
246
00:19:38,345 --> 00:19:40,472
But he threw away all his medals.
I saw him do it.
247
00:19:40,556 --> 00:19:41,557
Not this one.
248
00:19:42,683 --> 00:19:44,309
- How did you...
- He gave it to me.
249
00:19:47,938 --> 00:19:49,022
I don't understand.
250
00:19:50,274 --> 00:19:51,608
Why are you giving this to me?
251
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,237
You're the one who filled Clay's head
with all that patriotic crap.
252
00:19:56,905 --> 00:19:58,657
He joined the army because of you.
253
00:19:59,992 --> 00:20:01,910
He joined the army to serve his country.
254
00:20:02,327 --> 00:20:03,328
His country?
255
00:20:04,454 --> 00:20:06,290
He ever tell you
what his fellow soldiers did
256
00:20:06,373 --> 00:20:08,625
the day after Martin Luther King
was assassinated?
257
00:20:08,709 --> 00:20:09,918
They threw a party.
258
00:20:10,586 --> 00:20:14,214
Put on Klan outfits,
paraded around with Confederate flags.
259
00:20:15,215 --> 00:20:17,575
But, hey, they gave Clay a medal,
so that makes it all okay.
260
00:20:17,634 --> 00:20:21,263
- That wasn't the men in Clay's platoon.
- I'm not talking about his platoon.
261
00:20:21,930 --> 00:20:23,891
I'm talking about
the United States government.
262
00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:27,603
Uncle Sam used us as cannon fodder.
263
00:20:28,145 --> 00:20:30,272
Clayton was proud to serve.
264
00:20:30,355 --> 00:20:31,356
At first.
265
00:20:31,732 --> 00:20:35,819
But by the time he got back, he was just
putting on a good show to please you.
266
00:20:35,903 --> 00:20:38,572
He did everything for you.
267
00:20:38,655 --> 00:20:41,241
And now that's he's gone,
all you wanna do is forget him.
268
00:20:41,825 --> 00:20:42,826
Well, go ahead.
269
00:20:43,535 --> 00:20:46,413
Go back to the moon,
help them start another Vietnam up there.
270
00:20:46,496 --> 00:20:47,497
That is not...
271
00:20:48,665 --> 00:20:52,920
We are doing serious research
to build a better future for us all.
272
00:20:53,879 --> 00:20:55,380
You sound just like them.
273
00:20:56,632 --> 00:20:58,717
But you're not one of them. Never will be.
274
00:21:00,260 --> 00:21:03,847
They may have let you on the bus, but you
will always have to ride in the back.
275
00:21:14,525 --> 00:21:16,735
I know I've already brought this up
276
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,321
but
277
00:21:20,322 --> 00:21:22,366
the moon was supposed to be
a stepping-stone,
278
00:21:22,449 --> 00:21:24,284
and it's become a quagmire,
279
00:21:24,368 --> 00:21:26,954
sucking up more and more
of our funding and resources...
280
00:21:27,037 --> 00:21:30,141
That's true, but the president doesn't
want the Soviets to gain the upper hand.
281
00:21:30,165 --> 00:21:31,250
Neither do I.
282
00:21:31,834 --> 00:21:34,962
If we put boots on the surface of Mars,
we'll have the ultimate upper hand.
283
00:21:39,925 --> 00:21:42,386
- What?
- You know what your problem is, Ellen?
284
00:21:43,971 --> 00:21:45,848
You're not fooling anyone.
285
00:21:51,812 --> 00:21:53,105
What do you mean?
286
00:21:53,897 --> 00:21:56,066
You need to be a better poker player.
287
00:21:56,650 --> 00:21:58,235
You remember a couple years back
288
00:21:58,318 --> 00:22:01,154
when Senator Lang attacked
the cost overruns of our lunar program?
289
00:22:01,238 --> 00:22:02,865
Yeah, he called it a "moondoggle."
290
00:22:04,408 --> 00:22:05,909
I wrote that speech for him.
291
00:22:12,833 --> 00:22:14,042
Why would you do that?
292
00:22:14,126 --> 00:22:16,587
Lang was in the middle of
a tough reelection fight.
293
00:22:16,670 --> 00:22:17,838
Yeah, I remember.
294
00:22:18,422 --> 00:22:21,049
Coen accused him of being a pimp for NASA.
295
00:22:21,133 --> 00:22:23,677
And John needed to demonstrate
his independence.
296
00:22:25,012 --> 00:22:27,407
We already had more than enough votes
to pass the funding bill,
297
00:22:27,431 --> 00:22:29,057
so why not help him out?
298
00:22:29,474 --> 00:22:31,101
Then, after he won reelection...
299
00:22:31,185 --> 00:22:34,438
Lang turned around and sponsored the bill
300
00:22:34,521 --> 00:22:37,649
that allows NASA to license
its new technology to private industry.
301
00:22:37,733 --> 00:22:38,942
And because of that,
302
00:22:39,443 --> 00:22:43,113
this agency will be entirely self-funded
in less than ten years.
303
00:22:43,197 --> 00:22:45,407
Which will free us
from the whims of Congress.
304
00:22:45,490 --> 00:22:46,491
Exactly.
305
00:22:47,159 --> 00:22:48,994
We'll have enough money to explore Mars.
306
00:22:49,745 --> 00:22:50,913
And we won't stop there.
307
00:22:51,413 --> 00:22:53,165
You and I will have a front row seat.
308
00:22:54,249 --> 00:22:56,502
As long as the Democrats
don't win next year.
309
00:23:00,797 --> 00:23:02,382
That must've been pretty difficult.
310
00:23:03,091 --> 00:23:04,593
Being at the center of everything,
311
00:23:04,676 --> 00:23:07,596
and then Teddy Kennedy wins
and you're out of a job.
312
00:23:07,679 --> 00:23:09,890
Just part of the game. The ups and downs.
313
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:14,478
Was it Nixon who initially recruited you?
314
00:23:14,561 --> 00:23:15,812
No.
315
00:23:15,896 --> 00:23:19,608
No, no one recruited me.
I lobbied my ass off for this job.
316
00:23:22,861 --> 00:23:23,946
Really?
317
00:23:25,030 --> 00:23:27,866
Caught the bug when I was aboard
a submarine during the war.
318
00:23:31,286 --> 00:23:34,248
We'd surface at night
to recharge our batteries.
319
00:23:36,124 --> 00:23:37,626
Yeah, out there,
320
00:23:38,335 --> 00:23:42,339
alone in the Pacific,
the sky was packed with stars.
321
00:23:44,258 --> 00:23:47,386
We learned the names of quite a few
to navigate, but.
322
00:23:49,221 --> 00:23:51,098
I wanted to know them all.
323
00:23:53,433 --> 00:23:56,979
After I got demobbed, I went out
and bought my first telescope
324
00:23:58,313 --> 00:23:59,439
from the Sears catalog.
325
00:24:04,611 --> 00:24:06,613
- Shall I freshen you up?
- Sure.
326
00:24:12,244 --> 00:24:15,873
I didn't know you felt
so passionately about space.
327
00:24:19,543 --> 00:24:20,669
I guess I thought...
328
00:24:20,752 --> 00:24:23,297
What? That I'm a glad-handing politician
329
00:24:23,380 --> 00:24:25,924
who cares more about my career
than I do about NASA?
330
00:24:28,302 --> 00:24:30,804
Nah, it's okay, El.
331
00:24:30,888 --> 00:24:33,765
I know everyone at JSC
thinks I'm just Reagan's lackey,
332
00:24:34,224 --> 00:24:36,727
just like they thought I was
Nixon's lackey a decade ago.
333
00:24:36,810 --> 00:24:37,895
But I don't mind it.
334
00:24:39,897 --> 00:24:43,525
People have hated politicians as long as
there have been politicians, but
335
00:24:45,152 --> 00:24:46,153
the truth is
336
00:24:47,696 --> 00:24:49,698
we're the ones
that make this all possible.
337
00:24:52,618 --> 00:24:55,746
I wanna get to Mars as much as you do.
Believe me.
338
00:24:59,499 --> 00:25:01,585
You're gonna be a great asset to me,
Ellen.
339
00:25:02,669 --> 00:25:05,380
You're as genuine as the sunrise.
340
00:25:06,673 --> 00:25:08,008
People respond to that.
341
00:25:11,053 --> 00:25:13,055
Thank you, Tom. That's very kind.
342
00:25:13,555 --> 00:25:15,557
You'll get used to all the gamesmanship.
343
00:25:16,808 --> 00:25:18,495
We all play different roles
with different people.
344
00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:21,688
I'm a different Thomas Paine with Reagan
than I was with Nixon
345
00:25:21,772 --> 00:25:25,400
or Tip O'Neill or Margo Madison.
346
00:25:25,943 --> 00:25:29,530
And there's yet another me with my wife
when I go home at night.
347
00:25:36,537 --> 00:25:40,165
The trick is
not to lose track of who you really are.
348
00:25:46,755 --> 00:25:49,174
It's Scorsese's best picture.
349
00:25:49,258 --> 00:25:51,343
- You cannot be serious.
- It's a masterpiece.
350
00:25:51,426 --> 00:25:53,720
My. You're saying that
'cause you like Jerry Lewis.
351
00:25:53,804 --> 00:25:55,430
What's not to like?
352
00:25:55,514 --> 00:25:56,515
Everything.
353
00:25:58,392 --> 00:26:01,395
The Nutty Professor
is a brilliant indictment
354
00:26:01,895 --> 00:26:03,272
of the American male psyche.
355
00:26:03,355 --> 00:26:06,358
Okay, yours maybe.
I do not get this obsession at all.
356
00:26:06,441 --> 00:26:09,152
Says the guy who's seen Yentl 15 times.
357
00:26:09,236 --> 00:26:11,238
- That's so...
- Hey, El.
358
00:26:12,155 --> 00:26:13,407
How'd your day go?
359
00:26:13,490 --> 00:26:15,993
It was very interesting.
360
00:26:16,076 --> 00:26:19,496
Hey, we should go.
We don't wanna miss that first set.
361
00:26:21,248 --> 00:26:22,541
Where you guys off to?
362
00:26:22,624 --> 00:26:23,709
The Bullshot.
363
00:26:24,418 --> 00:26:27,963
They apparently have
a fantastic Donna Summer impersonator.
364
00:26:28,505 --> 00:26:29,840
- You should come with.
- Yeah.
365
00:26:29,923 --> 00:26:33,468
I'd love to,
but I have an 0800 meeting at JSC.
366
00:26:33,552 --> 00:26:35,971
You could stay for an hour,
then head home.
367
00:26:36,972 --> 00:26:39,433
You really should get out more,
have some fun.
368
00:26:39,516 --> 00:26:41,059
Yeah, come on.
369
00:26:42,895 --> 00:26:43,896
Another time.
370
00:26:45,105 --> 00:26:50,194
Okay. Well, if you're staying,
maybe you can go through your moon mail.
371
00:26:50,277 --> 00:26:52,571
You haven't touched it
since you've been back.
372
00:26:54,990 --> 00:26:56,617
Okay. My gosh.
373
00:26:57,534 --> 00:26:59,203
- Have fun.
- You too.
374
00:27:00,412 --> 00:27:01,747
That's a lot of mail.
375
00:28:57,571 --> 00:29:00,699
Discovery, Launch Control.
We're gonna run abort check now.
376
00:29:00,782 --> 00:29:01,783
Wilco.
377
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:03,285
Looks good, Control.
378
00:29:05,495 --> 00:29:09,291
That brings us to the built-in hold
at T-minus nine minutes.
379
00:29:09,374 --> 00:29:11,919
Time for Tracy's big interview with NBC.
380
00:29:12,002 --> 00:29:14,713
Starting to wonder
if we're just chauffeurs here.
381
00:29:15,881 --> 00:29:18,642
Think they left a makeup case
on the mid-deck if you wanna freshen up.
382
00:29:18,675 --> 00:29:20,636
Yeah. Very funny, y'all.
383
00:29:24,306 --> 00:29:26,433
Launch Control,
we have power to the Tracy cam.
384
00:29:27,434 --> 00:29:29,311
Roger, Discovery. Feed looks good.
385
00:29:31,271 --> 00:29:35,317
Okay. You're live in three, two, one.
386
00:29:36,276 --> 00:29:37,319
Hey there.
387
00:29:37,903 --> 00:29:42,282
Well, I am very happy to be talking to you
aboard the space shuttle Discovery.
388
00:29:43,367 --> 00:29:46,495
That's right,
I'm headed for six months on the moon.
389
00:29:46,995 --> 00:29:48,539
It's the trip of a lifetime.
390
00:29:48,622 --> 00:29:51,625
Only one regret, Sam and I
couldn't make it our honeymoon.
391
00:29:52,292 --> 00:29:55,379
A number of viewers have asked
why you're still using "Stevens"
392
00:29:55,462 --> 00:29:57,631
instead of your married name, "Cleveland."
393
00:29:57,714 --> 00:29:58,799
Care to tell us why?
394
00:29:58,882 --> 00:30:02,135
Well, you know,
everybody already knows me as Stevens.
395
00:30:02,219 --> 00:30:03,971
So, figured I'd stick with it.
396
00:30:04,054 --> 00:30:05,764
Save the taxpayers some money.
397
00:30:06,348 --> 00:30:07,724
I love you bunches, Sam.
398
00:30:09,059 --> 00:30:12,229
Astronaut Tracy Stevens,
speaking with us 40 minutes ago
399
00:30:12,312 --> 00:30:15,440
as she and her crew
made their final preparations for launch.
400
00:30:16,108 --> 00:30:18,944
I'm now being told the shuttle
is a mere two minutes from liftoff...
401
00:30:20,362 --> 00:30:22,447
Thank you. Thank you very much.
402
00:30:22,531 --> 00:30:24,616
Welcome to Wheel of Fortune.
Good to have you here.
403
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:28,495
And now if you would do that one more time
for our hostess. Here comes Vanna White.
404
00:30:28,579 --> 00:30:29,580
Vanna.
405
00:30:30,873 --> 00:30:31,874
Hello.
406
00:30:31,957 --> 00:30:34,793
Only hope they don't get to our ships
before we do.
407
00:30:38,422 --> 00:30:40,299
- The air pressure's dropping.
- You're right.
408
00:30:40,382 --> 00:30:42,569
Father of two. You care to talk
about those two a little bit?
409
00:30:42,593 --> 00:30:43,635
Two fantastic kids.
410
00:30:43,719 --> 00:30:46,805
One under a year, still a baby, and then
a beautiful three-year-old daughter
411
00:30:47,431 --> 00:30:49,141
given to me by my gracious wife.
412
00:30:49,224 --> 00:30:50,410
- Well, it was...
- Two wonderful kids.
413
00:30:50,434 --> 00:30:51,727
A fine thing of her to do.
414
00:30:51,810 --> 00:30:53,788
And it's nice to have you here, Jeff.
Wish you a lot of luck.
415
00:30:53,812 --> 00:30:57,024
Eight, seven, six.
416
00:30:57,107 --> 00:31:00,652
Main engine start. Two, one...
417
00:31:15,042 --> 00:31:16,168
So long, Trace.
418
00:31:22,299 --> 00:31:23,634
See you soon.
419
00:31:44,196 --> 00:31:45,822
What you got there, Mr. Piscotty?
420
00:31:47,616 --> 00:31:49,409
Just a sandwich, sir.
421
00:31:50,827 --> 00:31:53,705
I hear it's your last day on the job.
Congratulations.
422
00:31:54,206 --> 00:31:55,415
Why don't you put that on.
423
00:31:59,962 --> 00:32:03,632
Due respect, sir,
I'm air force, sir, not navy.
424
00:32:07,177 --> 00:32:08,220
Put it on.
425
00:32:19,523 --> 00:32:21,775
Now pull it down lower.
426
00:32:24,736 --> 00:32:25,821
Lower.
427
00:32:39,334 --> 00:32:40,627
That's gonna work.
428
00:32:42,671 --> 00:32:45,257
First of next week,
I want you to check out a T-38,
429
00:32:45,883 --> 00:32:46,884
meet me in Palmdale.
430
00:32:48,218 --> 00:32:50,554
Palmdale... California?
431
00:32:52,306 --> 00:32:53,557
Congratulations.
432
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,351
You just drew right seat
of Pathfinder's maiden flight.
433
00:32:59,229 --> 00:33:00,272
Roger that, sir.
434
00:33:01,148 --> 00:33:02,149
Thank you.
435
00:33:27,090 --> 00:33:29,218
T-minus two hours and counting.
436
00:33:33,972 --> 00:33:35,516
- Hi, Bob.
- Hi, Bob.
437
00:33:36,934 --> 00:33:39,853
Man, this place is gonna feel
so odd without you.
438
00:33:41,688 --> 00:33:43,315
I think I'm gonna leave this to Molly.
439
00:33:43,398 --> 00:33:46,151
Her short game sucks.
She could use the practice.
440
00:33:47,986 --> 00:33:49,238
I'm sure she'll love that.
441
00:33:51,657 --> 00:33:52,658
What's up?
442
00:33:58,121 --> 00:34:04,002
Ed, I want you to know that I appreciate
the assignment to Jamestown 91
443
00:34:04,086 --> 00:34:06,088
and that you came up with it so quickly.
444
00:34:06,171 --> 00:34:07,256
I really do.
445
00:34:08,632 --> 00:34:09,632
But...
446
00:34:11,592 --> 00:34:12,636
But what?
447
00:34:13,887 --> 00:34:14,972
It's not good enough.
448
00:34:18,266 --> 00:34:19,601
Not good enough?
449
00:34:19,685 --> 00:34:21,687
I'm sorry, but it's not.
450
00:34:24,022 --> 00:34:25,482
I want a command slot.
451
00:34:25,983 --> 00:34:28,652
Dani, you really have been out of the loop
for too long.
452
00:34:28,735 --> 00:34:30,821
You don't just waltz in and demand...
453
00:34:30,904 --> 00:34:33,072
You know the sacrifices I've made.
454
00:34:33,156 --> 00:34:34,658
How much time I've lost.
455
00:34:35,074 --> 00:34:37,619
I was the first African American
in space, Ed.
456
00:34:38,203 --> 00:34:40,746
And now here I am,
still riding in the back.
457
00:34:43,292 --> 00:34:44,293
Come on, Dani.
458
00:34:45,668 --> 00:34:47,170
You really gonna take it there?
459
00:34:47,254 --> 00:34:48,755
I've given it a lot of thought.
460
00:34:50,090 --> 00:34:54,094
I want to be the first African American
woman to command a mission.
461
00:34:54,511 --> 00:34:58,390
First woman Black commander
is now a thing?
462
00:34:58,473 --> 00:35:00,118
Seriously? We're gonna parse it that fine?
463
00:35:00,142 --> 00:35:02,144
You're damn right we are, Ed.
464
00:35:02,769 --> 00:35:04,771
If you don't give me a command spot,
465
00:35:04,855 --> 00:35:08,609
I will always be seen as that weak little
Black girl who fell apart on the moon.
466
00:35:08,692 --> 00:35:11,862
But if I were a white man,
they'd have forgiven me a long time ago.
467
00:35:11,945 --> 00:35:16,116
I understand it feels that way,
but it's just not true.
468
00:35:20,329 --> 00:35:24,291
Remember Mercury 4, when Gus Grissom
splashed and the hatch blew early?
469
00:35:24,374 --> 00:35:26,251
Press never let him forget about that.
470
00:35:26,335 --> 00:35:28,795
You know, that had nothing to do
with the color of his skin.
471
00:35:31,048 --> 00:35:33,967
Ed, how many astronauts do we have now?
472
00:35:36,553 --> 00:35:37,971
Two hundred and five.
473
00:35:39,306 --> 00:35:41,058
And how many of 'em are Black?
474
00:35:42,476 --> 00:35:43,602
Eleven.
475
00:35:43,685 --> 00:35:46,396
And how many of them
have commanded a mission?
476
00:35:49,816 --> 00:35:50,817
One.
477
00:35:51,777 --> 00:35:54,821
Look, I hope you're not saying...
I hope you're not trying to imply that
478
00:35:54,905 --> 00:35:57,032
I'm not trying to imply anything.
479
00:35:57,115 --> 00:35:58,742
I'm saying it straight.
480
00:35:59,326 --> 00:36:01,787
This is not good enough.
481
00:36:01,870 --> 00:36:04,706
Look, Dani, you gotta understand.
These things, they take time.
482
00:36:04,790 --> 00:36:08,585
You know, first they gotta qualify,
then they gotta be trained,
483
00:36:08,669 --> 00:36:10,814
and then they gotta get
some missions under their belt.
484
00:36:10,838 --> 00:36:12,899
Believe me, if they were ready,
they'd be commanding.
485
00:36:12,923 --> 00:36:16,301
"If they were ready"?
You sound like an NFL owner.
486
00:36:16,385 --> 00:36:18,679
Look, we've dealt with this issue.
487
00:36:18,762 --> 00:36:21,181
No. We haven't.
488
00:36:25,477 --> 00:36:29,022
Ed, I came into this program
as the token Black girl.
489
00:36:30,023 --> 00:36:33,277
And I was grateful for the opportunity,
no matter what the reasons.
490
00:36:34,027 --> 00:36:36,280
But that was 13 years ago.
491
00:36:36,780 --> 00:36:37,865
This program,
492
00:36:38,532 --> 00:36:42,244
it has the power to change the way
people see the world.
493
00:36:43,078 --> 00:36:44,162
You know that.
494
00:36:45,831 --> 00:36:48,166
I can't believe you're bringing this to me
on my last day.
495
00:36:48,250 --> 00:36:50,085
That's exactly why I'm bringing it up.
496
00:36:50,919 --> 00:36:52,754
Because until Molly takes over on Monday,
497
00:36:52,838 --> 00:36:55,299
you are the only one
with the power to do something.
498
00:36:58,927 --> 00:37:00,220
I gotta get to a meeting.
499
00:37:12,524 --> 00:37:13,525
Sorry I'm late.
500
00:37:13,609 --> 00:37:14,610
Hey, hey.
501
00:37:15,068 --> 00:37:16,195
For you, Ed.
502
00:37:17,029 --> 00:37:20,991
In honor of your nine years of service
as head of the Astronaut Office.
503
00:37:24,286 --> 00:37:28,707
Am I supposed to make a wish?
504
00:37:29,041 --> 00:37:32,920
Hasn't it already been granted?
You're commanding Pathfinder.
505
00:37:38,050 --> 00:37:39,259
What'd you wish for?
506
00:37:39,343 --> 00:37:40,928
To get on with this meeting.
507
00:37:41,470 --> 00:37:42,679
Amen to that.
508
00:37:43,639 --> 00:37:46,892
Well, I have some exciting news.
509
00:37:48,352 --> 00:37:50,562
The Soviets have accepted
the president's offer
510
00:37:50,646 --> 00:37:54,149
to mount a joint mission
between our two space programs.
511
00:37:54,483 --> 00:37:56,276
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
512
00:37:57,152 --> 00:38:00,531
You said there was no chance
they would agree to this.
513
00:38:00,614 --> 00:38:03,992
Apparently Premier Andropov
is eager to demonstrate to the world
514
00:38:04,076 --> 00:38:08,330
that the Soviet Union has peaceful
intentions toward the United States.
515
00:38:08,413 --> 00:38:10,916
I've said it before.
This is complete bullshit.
516
00:38:11,250 --> 00:38:13,168
The Soviets are still flying Soyuz.
517
00:38:13,252 --> 00:38:15,963
Haven't even managed to get
their shuttle Buran off the ground.
518
00:38:16,046 --> 00:38:17,798
And the only reason
why they agreed to this
519
00:38:17,881 --> 00:38:20,592
is so they can get a closer look
at our current technology.
520
00:38:21,677 --> 00:38:23,053
We don't have to give it to them.
521
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:26,265
We can show the Reds
only what they've already seen.
522
00:38:26,348 --> 00:38:27,349
Meaning?
523
00:38:27,432 --> 00:38:30,394
We have an old Apollo command module
in storage here at JSC.
524
00:38:30,477 --> 00:38:33,939
It was a backup rescue ship for Skylab
before shuttles took over that job.
525
00:38:34,022 --> 00:38:36,483
And we were gonna send it
to the Smithsonian.
526
00:38:36,567 --> 00:38:38,360
If we use an Apollo for this,
527
00:38:38,819 --> 00:38:41,488
the Russians won't get anywhere near
our shuttle systems.
528
00:38:42,447 --> 00:38:45,242
As long as we have
a Saturn 1B lying around as well.
529
00:38:46,034 --> 00:38:47,202
Huntsville's got one.
530
00:38:50,706 --> 00:38:51,790
Well, then it's doable.
531
00:38:52,332 --> 00:38:53,959
The president is gonna love this.
532
00:38:54,042 --> 00:38:57,462
He still talks about how heroic-looking
the old Apollos were.
533
00:38:58,088 --> 00:39:00,883
Right, well, the Soviets say
they're already picking a crew, so...
534
00:39:00,966 --> 00:39:03,260
To demonstrate
that they're fully committed.
535
00:39:03,343 --> 00:39:04,928
So we need to do the same.
536
00:39:06,346 --> 00:39:08,849
I hate to put pressure on you
on your last day, Ed,
537
00:39:08,932 --> 00:39:12,186
but I'm not sure I want to leave this
to Ms. Cobb.
538
00:39:12,644 --> 00:39:15,647
At least you'll only have to pick two now
after the modifications.
539
00:39:17,858 --> 00:39:19,610
I can give you the commander right now.
540
00:39:20,944 --> 00:39:23,614
I hope you're not
appointing yourself to this one too.
541
00:39:23,697 --> 00:39:26,450
Nope. I'm assigning Danielle Poole.
542
00:39:27,701 --> 00:39:31,038
She has extensive Apollo experience,
and she'll be perfect for this.
543
00:39:33,165 --> 00:39:35,417
We might want to consider
other possibilities.
544
00:39:37,044 --> 00:39:38,045
Why is that?
545
00:39:39,379 --> 00:39:42,299
Ed, this mission
is very important to the president.
546
00:39:42,382 --> 00:39:44,676
He wants
only the best of the best to fly it.
547
00:39:45,469 --> 00:39:47,721
I spent three months on the moon with her.
548
00:39:47,804 --> 00:39:50,724
She performed brilliantly
under very stressful circumstances.
549
00:39:50,807 --> 00:39:54,478
I appreciate your loyalty,
but you know that's not true.
550
00:40:00,776 --> 00:40:02,361
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
551
00:40:03,612 --> 00:40:06,949
Come on, Ed.
Do I really need to spell it out?
552
00:40:08,033 --> 00:40:10,314
- The whole thing with her arm...
- That wasn't her fault.
553
00:40:11,161 --> 00:40:14,748
- Well, the public thinks...
- So we change public opinion.
554
00:40:14,831 --> 00:40:17,960
Tom, I trained with Poole.
And I agree with Ed.
555
00:40:18,544 --> 00:40:19,586
So do I.
556
00:40:20,254 --> 00:40:23,882
She did an exceptional job for us
during the Apollo 24 crisis.
557
00:40:25,259 --> 00:40:26,969
And I think it's time
558
00:40:27,052 --> 00:40:29,847
for an African American woman
to command a spaceflight.
559
00:40:30,514 --> 00:40:31,849
There's no argument there.
560
00:40:31,932 --> 00:40:34,977
Hell, I'm the one that selected Poole
as an astronaut to begin with.
561
00:40:35,060 --> 00:40:36,436
So what's the problem?
562
00:40:37,479 --> 00:40:39,559
I'm gonna get a lot of blowback
from the White House.
563
00:40:41,024 --> 00:40:44,862
You need to remind them of the plaque
that we were gonna bring up on Apollo 11.
564
00:40:44,945 --> 00:40:47,865
"We came in peace for all mankind."
565
00:40:47,948 --> 00:40:49,658
Now we need to live up to that.
566
00:40:49,741 --> 00:40:52,494
And this mission,
with all its symbolic value,
567
00:40:52,578 --> 00:40:54,496
is the perfect opportunity to do so.
568
00:40:54,580 --> 00:40:56,206
I think Ed's right on this one.
569
00:40:56,999 --> 00:40:59,835
Now look, the Soviets
love to grab any opportunity
570
00:40:59,918 --> 00:41:02,588
to highlight our troubled history
with race relations.
571
00:41:02,671 --> 00:41:06,758
This will send a powerful message
about the progress that we've made.
572
00:41:09,803 --> 00:41:12,639
All right, I'll run it up the flagpole.
573
00:41:12,723 --> 00:41:14,766
Let me know if anyone
gives you any trouble on that.
574
00:41:14,850 --> 00:41:17,936
I'll call the secretary of defense,
and he'll support this.
575
00:41:19,271 --> 00:41:20,689
I got your back on this, Tom.
576
00:41:47,007 --> 00:41:50,761
T-minus five, four, three, two...
577
00:41:53,305 --> 00:41:54,473
Can I have a minute?
578
00:41:55,974 --> 00:41:57,476
You got one fucking minute.
579
00:42:00,229 --> 00:42:02,109
- What's going on?
- What are you talking about?
580
00:42:02,147 --> 00:42:05,108
I thought we were friends.
You blindsided me back there.
581
00:42:05,192 --> 00:42:07,736
Wasn't premeditated, Tom.
Just happened in the moment.
582
00:42:07,819 --> 00:42:10,989
Yeah, I guess a lot of things
happen for you in the moment lately.
583
00:42:11,073 --> 00:42:13,450
You never discussed Pathfinder
with me either.
584
00:42:13,534 --> 00:42:16,703
And then, bang, Gordo Stevens
is suddenly off to the moon
585
00:42:16,787 --> 00:42:18,747
after being ground bound
for nearly a decade.
586
00:42:18,830 --> 00:42:21,124
Gordo's on salary.
He's one of the best pilots we got.
587
00:42:21,208 --> 00:42:24,294
Everyone knows he's a dr...
He's got a drinking problem.
588
00:42:25,462 --> 00:42:28,841
Have you taken a good look at him lately?
The man's a train wreck waiting to happen.
589
00:42:28,924 --> 00:42:31,004
Look, he's a little bit
on the chunky side right now,
590
00:42:31,051 --> 00:42:32,594
but he'll whip himself into shape.
591
00:42:32,678 --> 00:42:34,888
He always does. He aced his proficiency
592
00:42:34,972 --> 00:42:38,100
I just hope you're making all
these decisions for the right reasons, Ed.
593
00:42:38,559 --> 00:42:41,353
Not out of nepotism or favoritism...
594
00:42:41,436 --> 00:42:43,522
Whatever kind of ism this is.
595
00:45:00,993 --> 00:45:02,119
Goddamn it!
596
00:45:03,787 --> 00:45:04,788
Shit.
597
00:45:15,048 --> 00:45:16,675
Ed did say noon, right?
598
00:45:16,758 --> 00:45:17,759
That's affirm.
599
00:45:19,678 --> 00:45:22,222
What's with the hat? You're air force.
600
00:45:23,599 --> 00:45:26,310
I... lost a bet.
601
00:45:27,352 --> 00:45:29,354
No shit. What was it?
602
00:45:32,107 --> 00:45:34,193
I was so drunk I
603
00:45:35,068 --> 00:45:36,153
don't remember it.
604
00:45:37,362 --> 00:45:41,074
And NASA chose you to fly right seat
in its first nuclear spacecraft.
605
00:45:46,496 --> 00:45:47,664
Sorry I'm late.
606
00:45:47,748 --> 00:45:50,042
My Vette blew a rod
on my way out to Ellington.
607
00:45:50,125 --> 00:45:52,503
How old's that car anyway? What, 40 years?
608
00:45:52,586 --> 00:45:55,315
I got it 14 years ago, while you were
still playing tennis in high school.
609
00:45:55,339 --> 00:45:57,379
I'm just glad they don't make 'em
like they used to.
610
00:45:57,925 --> 00:46:00,552
Let's get this moving.
Gotta get back to Houston.
611
00:46:00,636 --> 00:46:04,139
I want you two to supervise
the sim mods while I fly out to the Cape
612
00:46:04,223 --> 00:46:06,725
to check out
the launch control center upgrades.
613
00:46:06,808 --> 00:46:08,310
Something I wanna show you first.
614
00:46:15,609 --> 00:46:18,695
- I appreciate you doing this for me, Troy.
- My pleasure, Ms. Poole.
615
00:46:19,696 --> 00:46:22,199
Not much in here but crates and mothballs.
616
00:46:23,283 --> 00:46:24,952
What are you looking for anyway?
617
00:46:25,577 --> 00:46:27,079
I wanna say hello to my ship.
618
00:46:40,759 --> 00:46:41,844
That's your ship?
619
00:46:43,804 --> 00:46:44,888
That tin can?
620
00:46:50,227 --> 00:46:51,436
That tin can.
621
00:46:55,983 --> 00:46:57,401
I give you Pathfinder.
622
00:47:04,074 --> 00:47:06,076
First time I've seen her ready to go.
623
00:47:06,577 --> 00:47:09,246
She's three times as powerful
as our current shuttles.
624
00:47:09,705 --> 00:47:11,540
And when we go to Mars,
625
00:47:11,623 --> 00:47:14,835
these nuclear engines
will cut 100 days off of our trip.
626
00:47:15,460 --> 00:47:19,339
Our job will be to test her
in the harshest environment we know.
627
00:47:20,549 --> 00:47:22,801
Shake every bug out of her system.
628
00:47:28,348 --> 00:47:32,269
Now, I chose you as my crew
because you're the best.
629
00:47:32,895 --> 00:47:34,897
Dr. Ride's been working on these engines
for years,
630
00:47:34,980 --> 00:47:37,649
and it's time you rode them into space.
631
00:47:38,275 --> 00:47:41,486
Unlike you, Captain Piscotty here
has never been on orbit,
632
00:47:41,570 --> 00:47:45,240
but I've seen him ace
six backup crew assignments.
633
00:47:46,158 --> 00:47:49,828
He seems to have a sixth sense
of what can go wrong and how to fix it.
634
00:47:50,954 --> 00:47:52,539
He's also a pretty fair pilot.
635
00:47:53,248 --> 00:47:54,750
Even though he does have red hair.
636
00:47:58,504 --> 00:48:01,924
Now, there'll be a lot of eyes on us.
637
00:48:03,550 --> 00:48:05,928
So we can afford no fuckups.
638
00:48:06,929 --> 00:48:08,931
That's why we will train our asses off.
639
00:48:10,098 --> 00:48:11,099
Roger that, skipper.
640
00:48:11,183 --> 00:48:12,601
Wouldn't have it any other way.
641
00:48:19,983 --> 00:48:21,193
Let's go make history.
642
00:48:30,202 --> 00:48:33,330
- Requests that you all rise...
- No.
643
00:48:33,413 --> 00:48:35,290
And show respect
644
00:48:35,374 --> 00:48:39,545
while he sings
his nation's national anthem.
645
00:48:39,628 --> 00:48:41,713
Kick your ass, you commie bastard.
646
00:48:44,299 --> 00:48:46,844
Go on, keep singing
while you still got some teeth.
647
00:48:48,762 --> 00:48:50,389
Give me a break, Steve.
648
00:48:50,472 --> 00:48:52,015
Give me an umbrella. Hold it!
649
00:48:52,099 --> 00:48:53,851
- There it goes!
- Where is he?
650
00:48:56,937 --> 00:48:58,355
Ladies and gentlemen,
651
00:48:59,022 --> 00:49:00,858
from South Carolina...
652
00:49:02,734 --> 00:49:05,487
Sergeant Slaughter!
653
00:49:05,571 --> 00:49:06,613
Yeah!
654
00:49:10,284 --> 00:49:12,995
Slaughter's gonna kick his ass
all the way back to Siberia.
655
00:49:13,078 --> 00:49:14,913
Better watch Volkoff's right hand then.
656
00:49:15,956 --> 00:49:16,957
Last week in Shreveport,
657
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:18,810
Volkoff whipped out
a foreign object from his trunks
658
00:49:18,834 --> 00:49:20,627
and then coldcocked Tito Santana.
659
00:49:20,961 --> 00:49:23,255
- You like wrestling?
- It's hilarious. Yeah.
660
00:49:23,839 --> 00:49:25,424
He's gonna kick your ass.
661
00:49:32,264 --> 00:49:34,409
Hey, Gordo, aren't you
supposed to be meeting Ed at Ellington?
662
00:49:34,433 --> 00:49:36,633
I thought you two were flying
down to the Cape together.
663
00:49:36,894 --> 00:49:39,479
Can't miss this. I'll drive fast.
664
00:49:39,563 --> 00:49:41,023
That's it.
665
00:49:41,106 --> 00:49:42,608
Pathfinder was amazing,
666
00:49:43,192 --> 00:49:46,236
but I about died when Sally
ribbed the admiral about his car.
667
00:49:46,737 --> 00:49:49,031
My mouth was so dry,
I couldn't say a word.
668
00:49:49,114 --> 00:49:50,908
Listen, zoomie.
669
00:49:51,909 --> 00:49:54,661
Ed Baldwin can trip over his dick
like anybody else.
670
00:49:55,245 --> 00:49:56,663
You're flying his right seat,
671
00:49:56,747 --> 00:49:59,750
so it is your job to call him out
when he fucks up.
672
00:50:00,542 --> 00:50:03,545
- If you can't do that, then...
- Jesus, Helena. Talk about a buzzkill.
673
00:50:04,087 --> 00:50:05,297
Watch out! Slingshot!
674
00:50:05,714 --> 00:50:06,715
Hey, Ed.
675
00:50:07,341 --> 00:50:10,802
Boy, now that is 313 pounds at least!
676
00:50:12,095 --> 00:50:14,556
Just being catapulted through the air...
677
00:50:15,098 --> 00:50:16,475
What a right arm!
678
00:50:16,558 --> 00:50:18,310
Yeah, that's it, Sarge! Pulverize him!
679
00:50:18,393 --> 00:50:20,729
- My word! Five rights...
- Arrest his ass!
680
00:50:20,812 --> 00:50:22,457
And now the big guy flung across,
Sarge right...
681
00:50:22,481 --> 00:50:24,399
Hammer him into the goddamn canvas!
682
00:50:24,483 --> 00:50:28,612
And that one really rocked the Russian.
Volkoff down on a knee.
683
00:50:30,989 --> 00:50:32,241
The table's turning.
684
00:50:40,874 --> 00:50:43,961
Hey, ref, you blind?
That's illegal use of bicuspids!
685
00:50:46,129 --> 00:50:47,130
Dad?
686
00:50:49,299 --> 00:50:50,300
Dad?
687
00:50:56,181 --> 00:50:57,182
You okay, Dad?
688
00:50:59,142 --> 00:51:01,270
You can see those ants?
689
00:51:01,353 --> 00:51:03,021
Yeah, it's pretty hard to miss.
690
00:51:20,414 --> 00:51:21,915
You ready to go, buddy boy?
691
00:51:26,003 --> 00:51:27,004
What's wrong?
692
00:51:28,714 --> 00:51:29,882
I saw some ants.
693
00:51:32,843 --> 00:51:33,844
What?
694
00:51:34,428 --> 00:51:36,430
When? What were you doing?
695
00:51:36,513 --> 00:51:38,348
Was watching TV at the Outpost.
696
00:51:39,516 --> 00:51:41,894
And no booze, just Pepsi.
697
00:51:41,977 --> 00:51:44,396
They were just...
They were crawling everywhere, man.
698
00:51:45,606 --> 00:51:47,107
They were crawling everywhere.
699
00:51:48,066 --> 00:51:50,360
- Was anyone with you?
- Yeah, Danny was there.
700
00:51:50,444 --> 00:51:51,904
He was working.
701
00:51:53,197 --> 00:51:54,573
It was over pretty quick.
702
00:51:54,656 --> 00:51:58,202
Karen, she killed 'em with some bug spray.
703
00:52:00,329 --> 00:52:02,539
What... Wait, you mean the ants were real?
704
00:52:02,623 --> 00:52:06,710
I thought I was losing it again, Ed.
Thought I was seeing things again.
705
00:52:06,793 --> 00:52:08,253
I couldn't catch my breath,
706
00:52:08,337 --> 00:52:11,381
and I was shaking and sweating
all the way here.
707
00:52:13,342 --> 00:52:17,095
I could just feel 'em
on my hands and on my face.
708
00:52:20,641 --> 00:52:22,392
What if it happens up there again, Ed?
709
00:52:22,476 --> 00:52:24,811
Gordo, you're not hallucinating.
710
00:52:25,687 --> 00:52:26,897
This isn't happening.
711
00:52:30,609 --> 00:52:32,110
You know, my old man
712
00:52:33,695 --> 00:52:36,240
he was the toughest son of a bitch
I ever saw.
713
00:52:37,824 --> 00:52:40,410
And the horrors he endured in that war.
714
00:52:40,953 --> 00:52:44,164
Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Okinawa.
715
00:52:46,124 --> 00:52:47,626
And those banzai charges.
716
00:52:48,919 --> 00:52:52,422
Japs coming at him,
screaming like wild animals,
717
00:52:52,506 --> 00:52:54,424
running right over
the backs of their dead,
718
00:52:54,508 --> 00:52:56,510
but he never left his machine gun.
719
00:52:57,177 --> 00:52:58,846
He just kept right on firing.
720
00:52:59,638 --> 00:53:01,723
I never saw him back down from anything.
721
00:53:07,020 --> 00:53:08,105
Till the cancer.
722
00:53:17,489 --> 00:53:21,076
I'd go and see him.
He's laying flat on his back in his bed.
723
00:53:21,159 --> 00:53:23,245
He's gasping like a fish out of water.
724
00:53:25,038 --> 00:53:28,166
Eyes big and wide, and he's so scared.
725
00:53:36,258 --> 00:53:37,593
I just couldn't take it.
726
00:53:38,635 --> 00:53:40,137
Just ran out of the room.
727
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:49,605
I don't know.
728
00:53:51,231 --> 00:53:52,316
Maybe the
729
00:53:54,484 --> 00:53:56,361
fear was in him all along.
730
00:53:58,572 --> 00:53:59,573
Deep down.
731
00:54:02,117 --> 00:54:03,660
He was just too weak to
732
00:54:08,457 --> 00:54:10,167
to fight against it anymore.
733
00:54:13,545 --> 00:54:14,755
What am I gonna do, Ed?
734
00:54:14,838 --> 00:54:16,381
You can start acting like a man.
735
00:54:19,384 --> 00:54:20,886
- What?
- You heard me.
736
00:54:23,180 --> 00:54:24,681
You're a goddamn astronaut.
737
00:54:25,849 --> 00:54:30,020
You sat your ass on top of five and a half
million pounds of high explosive fuel
738
00:54:30,103 --> 00:54:31,813
and told them, "Light the fuse."
739
00:54:31,897 --> 00:54:34,900
And now you're sitting there
crying like a little fucking baby!
740
00:54:34,983 --> 00:54:38,654
"Ed, I'm so scared. I'm so weak."
741
00:54:38,737 --> 00:54:40,906
How about you grow a pair,
for Christ's sakes!
742
00:54:43,575 --> 00:54:45,077
Careful, Ed.
743
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,454
Or what? El Gordo's gonna do something?
744
00:54:47,538 --> 00:54:48,872
El Gordo just might.
745
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,125
- Maybe you have lost it.
- Shut up.
746
00:54:52,209 --> 00:54:54,249
- Maybe you're not Gordo Stevens anymore!
- Shut up!
747
00:54:57,673 --> 00:55:00,008
Why don't you book a flight to Florida
on Pan Am?
748
00:55:00,092 --> 00:55:01,760
I'm sure they can find you a seat.
749
00:55:22,573 --> 00:55:24,867
Niner-five-niner, niner-one-zero.
750
00:55:26,076 --> 00:55:30,080
Ed, we're beaucoup south of our route.
Fuel's gonna be a major problem.
751
00:55:30,873 --> 00:55:31,915
What's the deal?
752
00:55:31,999 --> 00:55:35,335
Just a little detour. Thought we'd see
if you got any stones left.
753
00:55:39,590 --> 00:55:42,009
You're flying in dogfight territory, son.
754
00:55:44,011 --> 00:55:46,889
You bastard.
Okay, I'm gonna kick your ass.
755
00:55:47,681 --> 00:55:48,891
Fight's on, buddy.
756
00:55:54,938 --> 00:55:58,609
In the wake of Cold War tensions
that show no signs of easing,
757
00:55:58,692 --> 00:56:02,863
at least one person is calling
for everyone to just come together.
758
00:56:02,946 --> 00:56:04,656
His name, John Lennon.
759
00:56:04,740 --> 00:56:06,575
The famed musician and activist
760
00:56:06,658 --> 00:56:09,286
is reaching out
to world leaders and fans alike,
761
00:56:09,369 --> 00:56:12,372
promoting what he calls
a concert for peace.
762
00:56:12,456 --> 00:56:15,125
Hosted by Lennon, the concert
would take place in New York City
763
00:56:15,209 --> 00:56:16,585
sometime in the fall.
764
00:56:16,668 --> 00:56:20,005
No word yet from Paul, George or Ringo
as to whether they'll be joining.
765
00:56:21,173 --> 00:56:22,174
In other news,
766
00:56:22,257 --> 00:56:25,052
an absolutely stunning development
in Panama today.
767
00:56:25,594 --> 00:56:28,263
According to the Pentagon,
a team of Navy SEALs
768
00:56:28,347 --> 00:56:30,974
penetrated
the Panamanian military installation
769
00:56:31,058 --> 00:56:34,811
where the American soldiers were held
and rescued all four of the men.
770
00:56:34,895 --> 00:56:35,896
No shit.
771
00:56:35,979 --> 00:56:39,233
At least two Panamanian soldiers
were killed in the exchange of gunfire.
772
00:56:39,733 --> 00:56:41,610
President Torrijos denounced the action
773
00:56:41,693 --> 00:56:45,155
as an outrageous violation
of Panamanian sovereignty
774
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,658
and has called upon the Soviet Union
775
00:56:47,741 --> 00:56:49,493
to help his country defend itself...
776
00:57:03,465 --> 00:57:05,259
- Shit.
- It's okay.
777
00:57:15,561 --> 00:57:17,062
I won't tell anyone if you won't.
778
00:57:28,407 --> 00:57:32,703
Yeah, I don't want you doing this
with Kelly though. Ever, all right?
779
00:57:33,704 --> 00:57:34,830
Aye, aye, ma'am.
780
00:57:50,137 --> 00:57:53,348
Slippery little bastard.
Ain't gonna save you though.
781
00:57:54,224 --> 00:57:55,601
Check this out, cheesedick.
782
00:58:00,731 --> 00:58:01,857
No, you don't.
783
00:58:05,777 --> 00:58:08,947
And... there you are.
784
00:58:10,532 --> 00:58:12,534
Sorry, sailor. Saw that coming.
785
00:58:17,289 --> 00:58:18,457
Time to eat your lunch.
786
00:58:19,208 --> 00:58:20,459
Pipper's on.
787
00:58:20,918 --> 00:58:24,421
Fox Two! That's all she wrote, buddy.
788
00:58:26,423 --> 00:58:27,591
Geez.
789
00:58:29,051 --> 00:58:31,220
We call that a clean kill.
790
00:58:31,303 --> 00:58:35,224
We call that dumb luck, Gordo.
Let's make it two out of three.
791
00:58:37,059 --> 00:58:39,770
That's not good. Warning tone.
792
00:58:39,853 --> 00:58:42,940
Jesus, Ed, you're on fire.
You got flames under your left engine.
793
00:58:43,774 --> 00:58:45,108
Shit!
794
00:58:46,944 --> 00:58:48,695
You better get out and walk, buddy.
795
00:58:48,779 --> 00:58:50,405
More like go for a swim.
796
00:58:50,489 --> 00:58:53,075
I'll call SAR. Ed, get out of there now!
797
00:58:53,158 --> 00:58:56,453
Mayday, Mayday. Houston Center.
NASA niner-one-zero over the Gulf.
798
00:58:56,912 --> 00:58:59,706
NASA niner-five-niner
is on fire and ejecting now.
