1
00:00:51,552 --> 00:00:55,556
This is the Earth at a time
when the dinosaurs roamed...
2
00:00:55,556 --> 00:00:59,549
a lush and fertile planet.
3
00:01:05,566 --> 00:01:09,559
A piece of rock just six miles wide
changed all that.
4
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:23,573
It hit with the force
of 10,000 nuclear weapons.
5
00:01:26,587 --> 00:01:30,591
A trillion tons of dirt and rock
hurtled into the atmosphere...
6
00:01:30,591 --> 00:01:33,594
creating a suffocating
blanket of dust...
7
00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:36,597
the sun was powerless
to penetrate...
8
00:01:36,597 --> 00:01:40,590
for a thousand years.
9
00:01:46,607 --> 00:01:50,611
It happened before.
10
00:01:50,611 --> 00:01:53,614
It will happen again.
11
00:01:53,614 --> 00:01:57,607
It's just a question of when.
12
00:02:12,633 --> 00:02:16,637
Engineering director... Engineering...
13
00:02:16,637 --> 00:02:20,630
- Say again, Rudy.
- Houston, affirmative.
14
00:02:21,642 --> 00:02:23,644
I'm gonna try again.
15
00:02:23,644 --> 00:02:26,647
This time why don't we put in a hold
at nine. Cancel the pending resume.
16
00:02:26,647 --> 00:02:30,651
Almost got it.
17
00:02:30,651 --> 00:02:34,655
- Dennis, I'm almost there.
- Houston, Pete's looking real strong.
18
00:02:34,655 --> 00:02:38,659
Okay, Pete. We got that coupling
on the board here now.
19
00:02:38,659 --> 00:02:41,662
We'll give you the go-ahead
from down here when it's in alignment.
20
00:02:41,662 --> 00:02:45,655
Sounds good.
Give me ten seconds.
21
00:02:46,667 --> 00:02:48,669
His heart rate's racing.
22
00:02:48,669 --> 00:02:50,671
- Hey, Pete. It's Truman.
- Hey.
23
00:02:50,671 --> 00:02:52,673
- How you doing up there, Hoss?
- Pretty good.
24
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:55,676
Now, listen, Pete.
We got an eye on your meds here.
25
00:02:55,676 --> 00:02:58,679
I'll give you a buffalo nickel
if you'll calm down just a little bit.
26
00:02:58,679 --> 00:03:01,682
- Can you do that for me?
- Whatever you say.
27
00:03:01,682 --> 00:03:05,675
Okay, uh, now we got plenty of time,
buddy, so don't you worry.
28
00:03:06,687 --> 00:03:10,680
- Atlantis...
- Okay. Looking good here.
29
00:03:11,692 --> 00:03:13,694
- He's got it.
- He'll be all right.
- Go ahead,Atlantis.
30
00:03:13,694 --> 00:03:17,687
Roger that, Houston.
Suggest we start reeling Pete in.
31
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:29,710
- The system's down.
- No.
32
00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:33,703
- What the hell is that?
- My Lord.
33
00:03:37,718 --> 00:03:41,722
We're down.
34
00:03:41,722 --> 00:03:45,726
Houston!
35
00:03:45,726 --> 00:03:49,719
- We've lost all contact.
- What happened?
36
00:03:50,731 --> 00:03:54,724
Stewart, play that tape back!
37
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:02,743
Houston!
38
00:04:02,743 --> 00:04:03,744
Multiple bogies! Multiple bogies!
39
00:04:03,744 --> 00:04:07,748
Sector five, niner. I have three.
Now five. Unidentified tracts.
40
00:04:07,748 --> 00:04:08,749
- My screen's full.
41
00:04:08,749 --> 00:04:11,752
- Multiple tracts headed towards
the Atlantic seaboard.
42
00:04:11,752 --> 00:04:15,745
This could be
a surprise missile attack.
43
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:21,762
Mr. President, the shuttle Atlantis
just exploded in space.
44
00:04:21,762 --> 00:04:23,764
Okay, I want three groups!
45
00:04:23,764 --> 00:04:26,767
One: internal malfunction.
46
00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:28,769
Get the log tape. Start working back.
Maybe it's a glitch.
47
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:30,771
Two: I want NORAD Space Command and the
48
00:04:30,771 --> 00:04:34,775
50th Tactical comparing all the space
junk you track in every orbit.
49
00:04:34,775 --> 00:04:36,777
I want you to check, recheck
and then do it all over again.
50
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:39,780
Number three: wild cards,
anything and everything.
51
00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:41,782
All right? Now, big Ross,
I want you to get on the telephone.
52
00:04:41,782 --> 00:04:43,784
- Wake up 11,000 people.
53
00:04:43,784 --> 00:04:44,785
- Right.
- Walt, get'em going.
54
00:04:44,785 --> 00:04:46,787
- Let's go!
- Karl!
55
00:04:46,787 --> 00:04:50,780
Karl! Karl!
56
00:04:51,792 --> 00:04:55,785
Karl! Your Stouffer's pot pie's
been on the table almost ten hours.
57
00:04:57,798 --> 00:04:59,800
- I want a divorce.
- Dottie, I'm on to something big here.
58
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,804
I-I don't know what this is, but it
looks like something's burning up there.
59
00:05:03,804 --> 00:05:07,808
Go get my phone book, will you?
Get my phone book. Get those names
of those guys from NASA.
60
00:05:07,808 --> 00:05:11,801
Excuse me! Am I wearing a sign
that says, "Karl's slave"?
61
00:05:12,813 --> 00:05:16,806
Go get my goddamn phone book!
Get the book!
62
00:05:17,818 --> 00:05:21,811
Get the book!
Get the book!
63
00:05:23,824 --> 00:05:27,828
Space Command is reporting negative.
That is zero global launches.
64
00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:29,830
- It might just be pieces of the shuttle
breaking up as it comes in.
65
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:30,831
- Yeah, it might be Santa Claus.
66
00:05:30,831 --> 00:05:34,835
Until we get definitive, reliable
alternative confirmation, General...
67
00:05:34,835 --> 00:05:38,828
we go to def con three.
68
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:45,846
I'm getting ready for the big time
69
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:49,850
Someday you're gonna say
I'm big time too
70
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:51,852
Hey, little man! Little Richard!
71
00:05:51,852 --> 00:05:55,856
Me and you, man!
We going to the top, baby! Big time!
72
00:05:55,856 --> 00:05:58,859
Yo, man, I ain't gonna be ridin'
this bike the rest of my life!
73
00:05:58,859 --> 00:05:59,860
You know what I'm sayin'?
74
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:03,853
I'm gettin' a motorcycle, baby.
We gonna travel in style.
75
00:06:04,865 --> 00:06:08,869
I'm getting ready for the big time
76
00:06:08,869 --> 00:06:10,871
Someday you're gonna say
I'm big time
77
00:06:10,871 --> 00:06:14,875
Watch where you're goin'. I bet you,
none of y'all stop for brothers.
78
00:06:14,875 --> 00:06:16,877
Slow down, Little Richard.
79
00:06:16,877 --> 00:06:19,880
You've been ridin' all morning, man.
You gotta take a dump?
80
00:06:21,882 --> 00:06:25,886
- We interrupt our regularly
scheduled program to bring you
this special report.
- Hey, man, what happened?
81
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:29,879
The shuttle Atlantis exploded in space
at 3:47 a.m., Eastern Standard Time.
82
00:06:31,892 --> 00:06:33,894
This morning
NASA officials are denying...
83
00:06:33,894 --> 00:06:37,887
Hey! Hey, get! Get!
84
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,903
- That's my Godzilla. Come on, now.
- Yo, fool!
85
00:06:42,903 --> 00:06:46,907
- Don't be kickin' Little Richard.
What the hell your problem?
- Now that dog's eating my Godzilla, man.
86
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:49,910
- And what's a little runt like you
gonna do about it?
- Get him, Richard. Sic him.
87
00:06:49,910 --> 00:06:53,903
If I wasn't a Christian,
I'd be throwin' your fat,
pineapple-eatin' ass through the window.
88
00:07:06,927 --> 00:07:08,929
- Why we not going, huh?
- Well, y-y-you know why?
'Cause this is New York City.
89
00:07:08,929 --> 00:07:12,933
Anything could have happened.
Look at that. Uh, let's see.
It could have been a terrorist bomb.
90
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:16,937
It could have been
a dead body, somebody shot, stabbed.
And it's Friday. Payday too.
91
00:07:16,937 --> 00:07:19,940
- Somebody probably jumped,
didn't get their paycheck. Yes.
- I want to go shopping.
92
00:07:19,940 --> 00:07:23,933
Me too, but we ain't goin' nowhere
'cause this is a traffic jam.
93
00:07:25,946 --> 00:07:27,948
- Little Richard.
- Hurry! Right over there!
- Go!
94
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:29,950
Yo, Little Richard!
95
00:07:29,950 --> 00:07:33,954
Hang on, Little Richard!
I'm comin'!
96
00:07:33,954 --> 00:07:36,957
Don't you worry about it.
I'm gonna get you outta there!
97
00:07:36,957 --> 00:07:39,960
You okay, buddy?
Don't worry about it. Hang in there.
98
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,963
Somebody dial 911!
99
00:07:42,963 --> 00:07:44,965
My screen's full!
They're all over the place!
100
00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:48,958
Bogies are breachin'
the atmosphere from Finland down
the North American seaboard.
101
00:07:58,979 --> 00:08:02,972
Whoa!
102
00:08:03,984 --> 00:08:07,977
Look at that!
103
00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:15,996
Oh, we at war!
104
00:08:15,996 --> 00:08:19,989
Saddam Hussein is bombin' us!
105
00:08:45,025 --> 00:08:49,018
Come on! Let's go! Let's go!
106
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:58,038
Get out of here!
107
00:08:58,038 --> 00:09:02,031
Oh, my God!
108
00:09:13,053 --> 00:09:15,055
Let's stay focused.
We need to map the trajectory now.
109
00:09:15,055 --> 00:09:17,057
- That could take a week.
- Just find it, okay?
110
00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:21,061
- I want to know if the worst is over
or if it's on its way.
- We've got General Kimsey on the line.
111
00:09:21,061 --> 00:09:25,065
We've got hits from Finland to South
Carolina. We know they're not missiles.
Now what the hell is it?
112
00:09:25,065 --> 00:09:29,069
It's a meteor shower.
That's what took out the shuttle.
113
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:32,072
- He's waiting for you.
- What's the death toll?
114
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:35,075
I've got the President
on Air Force One demanding answers.
115
00:09:35,075 --> 00:09:37,077
Is it over?
116
00:09:37,077 --> 00:09:41,070
General, we've got 11,000 people at NASA
trying to figure that out right now.
When we know, you'll know.
117
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:51,091
Okay, Karl, listen.
I want you to take your time.
Yes, sir. You are definitely the first.
118
00:09:51,091 --> 00:09:55,084
Okay, first coordinate.
One-two-three-nine. 1239, right?
119
00:09:57,097 --> 00:10:00,100
- FBI locked his location.
- Saw an explosion in space.
120
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:03,103
- Okay.
- The last one...
121
00:10:03,103 --> 00:10:07,107
- Now, listen, Karl, this is top secret.
- Sir, I'm retired Navy.
I know all about classified.
122
00:10:07,107 --> 00:10:10,110
But one more thing. The person
that finds her gets to name her, right?
123
00:10:10,110 --> 00:10:14,103
- Yes, that's right. That's right.
- I want to name her Dottie,
after my wife.
124
00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:19,108
- She's a vicious, life-suckin' bitch
from which there's no escape.
- That's... That's sweet, Karl.
125
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,123
S.D.I., this is Flight Director.
I want to get that Hubble movin',
and I want it now.
126
00:10:23,123 --> 00:10:27,116
Roger that.
We're movin' the Hubble!
127
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:37,126
- It's enormous.
- This is the anomaly at 1643.
128
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:44,144
Here is the anomaly at 1658.
129
00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:47,147
And here is the anomaly at 1700.
130
00:10:47,147 --> 00:10:50,150
Enough with this
"anomaly" horseshit!
131
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:54,154
- What is this thing?
- It's an asteroid, sir.
132
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:56,156
How big are we talking?
133
00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:59,159
Sir, our best estimate
is 97.6 billion...
134
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,161
- It's the size of Texas, Mr. President.
- Y-Y-Yes, sir.
135
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:04,164
Dan, we didn't
see this thing coming?
136
00:11:04,164 --> 00:11:06,166
Well, our object collision
budget's a million dollars.
137
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:09,169
That allows us to track
about three percent of the sky.
138
00:11:09,169 --> 00:11:12,172
- And begging your pardon, sir,
but it's a big-ass sky.
- And the ones this morning?
139
00:11:12,172 --> 00:11:15,175
Uh, those are nothing.
Uh, they're the size of basketballs...
140
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:17,177
and, uh, Volkswagens,
things like that.
141
00:11:17,177 --> 00:11:19,179
Is this going to hit us?
142
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:23,183
- We're efforting that as we speak, sir.
- What kind of damage are we...
143
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:25,185
Damage?
144
00:11:25,185 --> 00:11:27,187
Total, sir.
145
00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:30,190
It's what we call a global killer.
146
00:11:30,190 --> 00:11:32,192
The end of mankind.
147
00:11:32,192 --> 00:11:34,194
Doesn't matter where it hits.
148
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:37,197
Nothing would survive,
not even bacteria.
149
00:11:37,197 --> 00:11:41,190
My God. What do we do?
150
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:54,203
We have 18 days
before it hits Earth.
151
00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:07,216
- Have mercy.
- Rise and shine!
152
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:11,231
Stop the drilling!
Stop the drilling! Stop the drilling!
153
00:12:11,231 --> 00:12:14,234
- Fore!
- Stop the drilling!
154
00:12:14,234 --> 00:12:16,236
Stop the drilling!
Stop the drilling!
155
00:12:16,236 --> 00:12:20,229
- Hey!
- Hey, that was close!
156
00:12:23,243 --> 00:12:27,247
I gave you 50,000 a year in donations!
What do you think they're
so mad about, Chick?
157
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:30,250
Well, I think they feel that
drilling for oil is an evil thing.
158
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:33,253
Do you know how much diesel
that clunker boat pumps out an hour?
159
00:12:33,253 --> 00:12:36,256
You know, I just found out
something interesting.
160
00:12:36,256 --> 00:12:40,260
- Number two chewed 180 feet last night.
- Who do we have to thank for this?
161
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:43,263
Well, I'll give you two guesses,
but you're only gonna need one.
162
00:12:43,263 --> 00:12:45,265
Goddamn it, A.J.!
163
00:12:45,265 --> 00:12:49,258
A.J.!
164
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:53,273
A.J.!
A.J., you in here?
165
00:12:53,273 --> 00:12:56,276
Oh, that's just perfect.
In bed. Get up!
166
00:12:56,276 --> 00:13:00,280
- Uh, hey, you wanted to see me?
- Yeah, I was lookin' for ya.
167
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,282
You're pissed.
Okay, I can see that.
168
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:06,286
No. You know what, A.J.?
I'm not pissed. You've seen me pissed.
This is way, way beyond pissed, though.
169
00:13:06,286 --> 00:13:10,290
- You know I shut down number two
last night, right?
- Yeah, man, I had a hunch on that.
170
00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:14,294
Dude, let me tell you somethin'.
Someday, many years from now,
when you're all growed up...
171
00:13:14,294 --> 00:13:18,287
and you got your own
oil company and $8 million
of your own money on the contract...
172
00:13:19,299 --> 00:13:22,302
you can do whatever comes
into that little A.J.-idiotin' mind
of yours you want...
173
00:13:22,302 --> 00:13:26,306
but as long as it says
"Harry Stamper Oil" on the rig
you will not disobey my rules.
174
00:13:26,306 --> 00:13:28,308
- You got that?
- Yeah, I do got it.
175
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:31,311
- Right now, I need to hear
five words from you.
- Uh...
176
00:13:31,311 --> 00:13:35,315
- I'll never do that again.
- Never do that again.
177
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:37,317
I'm a fool. That was idiotic.
I-I mean, that was stupid.
178
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:39,319
I'm an idiot. I know what name's
on the sign. I'm not... I can't...
179
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:42,322
- What's going on here?
- What's going on? Well, I-I mean, I...
180
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:46,326
- I screwed up. I'm a little edgy.
- How long you worked for me?
- Five wonderful years.
181
00:13:46,326 --> 00:13:49,329
In five years, you have never
apologized to me this quickly.
182
00:13:49,329 --> 00:13:53,333
- Something's going on here.
I'm gonna find out what it is.
- No, no, no. Well...
183
00:13:53,333 --> 00:13:57,326
I-I'm turning over a new leaf.
I'm trying to learn from the man.
What would Harry do?
184
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:06,346
I'm at a loss for words.
185
00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:09,349
- Okay, I can explain this.
- You can explain that?
186
00:14:09,349 --> 00:14:13,342
- I can.
- I would really like an explanation.
You just stay right here.
187
00:14:18,358 --> 00:14:22,362
- Grace?
- Hi, Harry.
188
00:14:22,362 --> 00:14:26,366
I have asked you repeatedly
to call me Dad.
189
00:14:26,366 --> 00:14:30,359
- Sorry, Harry.
- Get up and get your clothes on.
190
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:36,365
You just stay right there.
I'll be right back.
191
00:14:42,382 --> 00:14:46,375
Here's what we're gonna do.
I want every strategy we've got
on near-Earth object collision, okay?
192
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:51,380
Any ideas, any programs,
anything you sketched
on a pizza box or a cocktail napkin.
193
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:56,385
For 30 years, they questioned
the need for NASA. Today
we're gonna give them the answer.
194
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:02,402
You know about this, Rockhound?
You knew.
195
00:15:02,402 --> 00:15:05,405
No, I-I had no idea.
196
00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:08,408
Where's Harry?
197
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:11,411
Harry! All right! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
I understand, okay?
198
00:15:11,411 --> 00:15:13,413
You're mad.
Who-Who wouldn't be mad?
199
00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:17,406
- But he's gonna shoot you.
- Nah. No, he's not. Oh, shit.
200
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:23,423
- Harry!
- What's wrong with you?
201
00:15:23,423 --> 00:15:25,425
Make your peace with God, A.J.
202
00:15:25,425 --> 00:15:29,429
- This guy's got a gun, man!
He's shooting at me!
- Harry, this is not funny!
203
00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:33,433
- Harry, listen to me!
We can talk this over!
- So this is a, uh, serious thing?
204
00:15:33,433 --> 00:15:36,436
- Yeah, pretty serious.
- Bear, man!
- What's up?
205
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:39,439
He's shooting at me. Uh, you see Harry
comin', crack him with that wrench!
206
00:15:39,439 --> 00:15:42,442
You told A.J.'s dad just before he died
that you would take care of the boy.
207
00:15:42,442 --> 00:15:44,444
Now, I'm not sure that shootin' him
is takin' care of him.
208
00:15:44,444 --> 00:15:47,447
- Why don't you put the gun down, boss?
- You don't want none of this, Bear.
Get out of my way.
209
00:15:47,447 --> 00:15:49,449
Just trying to give my man
a head start, that's all.
210
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:53,442
Not to mention the fact that I
don't think you wanna kill the best man
on your crew before we strike oil.
211
00:15:54,454 --> 00:15:58,458
Ah, Chick, I ain't gonna kill him.
Just gonna take a foot off.
Aman can work with one foot.
212
00:15:58,458 --> 00:16:01,461
You remember old Frank Marx
who worked with one hand all them years?
213
00:16:01,461 --> 00:16:05,465
- Yeah, but he wasn't very good.
- Harry, put the gun down!
You're acting insane!
214
00:16:05,465 --> 00:16:08,468
Now honey, go get some clothes on
and get out of the way.
215
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:12,472
- You can't control my life.
- Fine. Clothes. Now!
216
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:16,465
All right, stop, all right? It was funny
for a minute, it's not funny anymore.
217
00:16:18,478 --> 00:16:22,471
- Harry, this is illegal, man.
- I'm temporarily insane, Rock.
It's all right.
218
00:16:27,487 --> 00:16:29,489
- Do I look like I'm crazy to you?
- Well...
219
00:16:29,489 --> 00:16:31,491
Harry, hey, just cool down.
220
00:16:31,491 --> 00:16:35,495
- What are you... Okay, stop.
- All right. All right, Harry.
221
00:16:35,495 --> 00:16:37,497
All right. Now, listen, man to man.
222
00:16:37,497 --> 00:16:40,500
I'm serious. I love her.
223
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:44,493
Way wrong answer.
224
00:16:45,505 --> 00:16:48,508
- Whoa, whoa, Harry. It's gettin' real.
- Harry! Come on, Harry!
225
00:16:48,508 --> 00:16:50,510
- Stop him!
- You shot him!
226
00:16:50,510 --> 00:16:52,512
Bullet never got close.
Just a ricochet.
227
00:16:52,512 --> 00:16:55,515
You know, it's all funny
till somebody gets shot in the leg.
228
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:59,508
Hey, pucker up!
We got clients incoming!
229
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,523
Uh, b-back in, uh, 1974...
230
00:17:03,523 --> 00:17:07,527
w-we first got the-the idea,
the possibility that a, that a meteor
or an asteroid...
231
00:17:07,527 --> 00:17:11,531
I need somebody who's had a little less
caffeine this morning. Doc, translate.
232
00:17:11,531 --> 00:17:15,535
Our first feasibility plan was to use
a spread-focus laser generator...
233
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:17,537
to heat the object
to the point of fracture.
234
00:17:17,537 --> 00:17:19,539
That's like shooting a B.B. gun
at a freight train, Doc.
235
00:17:19,539 --> 00:17:21,541
Uh, some of us have got this idea.
236
00:17:21,541 --> 00:17:25,545
We want to land a craft,
deploy solar sails.
237
00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:28,548
You'll have a great big canopy.
Solar winds will be caught...
238
00:17:28,548 --> 00:17:31,551
by these mylar sails.
239
00:17:31,551 --> 00:17:33,553
- Okay.
- Come on, guys.
240
00:17:33,553 --> 00:17:37,557
We gotta come up with something
realistic here. We got 18 days.
241
00:17:37,557 --> 00:17:41,561
That's 431 hours,
15 minutes and 18 seconds.
242
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:45,554
Time's a luxury we don't have.
What?
243
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:50,570
Listen, Harry. A.J. is my choice...
my choice and not yours.
244
00:17:50,570 --> 00:17:54,574
He's the only one in your age bracket,
Grace. It's not a choice,
it's a lack of options.
245
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:58,567
I don't know what in the world makes
you think that you have the right
to tell me what to do anymore, Harry.
246
00:17:59,579 --> 00:18:01,581
I suppose being your father
doesn't count, huh?
247
00:18:01,581 --> 00:18:03,583
- Not really.
- Since when?
248
00:18:03,583 --> 00:18:07,587
Since I reached the age of 10
and became older than you, Harry.
249
00:18:07,587 --> 00:18:09,589
Since Mom split.
Why don't you take your pick?
250
00:18:09,589 --> 00:18:13,582
Look, I understand that you are
handicapped by a natural immaturity
and I forgive you.
251
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:17,597
I may be an immature father, okay?
But I'm still your employer.
252
00:18:17,597 --> 00:18:21,601
And as your boss I want you
on that crew boat tonight
and back in the office by Monday.
253
00:18:21,601 --> 00:18:24,604
- You got that?
- Okay. I quit.
254
00:18:24,604 --> 00:18:28,597
Grace, you can't quit now.
I need you to keep on workin'.
255
00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:34,603
- Hi, Harry!
- What are you smilin' about?
256
00:18:37,617 --> 00:18:41,610
I've been seein' A.J.
for more than five months, Harry.
257
00:18:42,622 --> 00:18:45,625
You little hypocrite. I ever held you
back once from doin' anything?
258
00:18:45,625 --> 00:18:48,628
What about having a life, Harry?
The first time I got my period...
259
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,630
Rockhound had to take me
into Taipei for Tampax...
260
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:54,623
and then he had to show me
how to use 'em, Harry.
261
00:18:55,635 --> 00:18:59,628
I ju... No, I-I told her how to use it.
I didn't show her, Harry.
262
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,644
I was playing
with titanium depth gauges when
I should've been playing with dolls.
263
00:19:04,644 --> 00:19:08,648
I mean, I learned about the birds and
the bees from Freddie Noonan's tattoos.
264
00:19:08,648 --> 00:19:11,651
Look, I was raised
on rough necks by you...
265
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:14,654
and now you get all shocked and shaken
when I fall in love with one.
266
00:19:14,654 --> 00:19:17,657
- So who is the hypocrite here,
Harry, huh? Who?
- Look at those nice pipes up there.
267
00:19:17,657 --> 00:19:22,662
- Listen to me, Grace. I want you...
- No, you listen to me, Harry.
I grew up.
268
00:19:22,662 --> 00:19:24,664
With the proximity of the asteroid...
269
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:27,667
and no prep time,
none of our primary plans can work.
270
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:31,660
Why don't we just send up 150 nuclear
warheads and blast that rock apart?
271
00:19:32,672 --> 00:19:35,675
- Terrible idea.
- Was I talkin'to you?
272
00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:39,668
This is Dr. Ronald Quincy from research,
pretty much the smartest man on the
planet. You might want to listen to him.
273
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,673
General, if you consider your target...
her composition, her dimensions...
274
00:19:45,685 --> 00:19:48,688
her sheer velocity, you could fire
every nuke you've got at her...
275
00:19:48,688 --> 00:19:52,692
and she'll just smile at you
and keep on coming.
276
00:19:52,692 --> 00:19:54,694
You should know that the president's
scientific advisors...
277
00:19:54,694 --> 00:19:58,687
are suggesting that a nuclear blast
could change this asteroid's trajectory.
278
00:19:59,699 --> 00:20:03,703
I know the president's chief scientific
advisor. We were at M.I.T. together.
279
00:20:03,703 --> 00:20:06,706
And in a situation like this, you...
you really don't want...
280
00:20:06,706 --> 00:20:10,710
to take the advice of a man
who got a C-minus in astrophysics.
281
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:14,703
The president's advisors are,
um, wrong. I'm right.
282
00:20:15,715 --> 00:20:18,718
Hitting the rock from the outside
won't do the job.
283
00:20:18,718 --> 00:20:21,721
Imagine a firecracker
in the palm of your hand.
284
00:20:21,721 --> 00:20:25,725
You set it off.
What happens? Burn your hand, right?
285
00:20:25,725 --> 00:20:29,718
You close your fist around
the same firecracker and set it off...
286
00:20:31,731 --> 00:20:33,733
Your wife's gonna be opening your
ketchup bottles the rest of your life.
287
00:20:33,733 --> 00:20:36,736
Are you suggesting
we blow this thing up from the inside?
288
00:20:36,736 --> 00:20:39,739
- That's exactly what I'm saying.
- How?
289
00:20:39,739 --> 00:20:42,742
We drill. We bring in the world's
best deep-core driller.
290
00:20:42,742 --> 00:20:45,745
Harry, get up here!
We're takin' a hit!
291
00:20:45,745 --> 00:20:49,749
- Get A.J. up here! Whoa!
- Come on!
292
00:20:49,749 --> 00:20:53,753
Send another pipe on down!
Right now! Full pipe!
293
00:20:53,753 --> 00:20:57,757
- It's a gas pocket.
- I told you. Am I lucky
or am I just a genius?
294
00:20:57,757 --> 00:21:01,750
I shut it down for a reason, you
jackass! The relief valve's fried open.
295
00:21:03,763 --> 00:21:07,756
Shut off the number two valve!
Grace, get the clients outta here now!
296
00:21:14,774 --> 00:21:18,767
Chick, get'em outta here!
Get'em off the rig now!
297
00:21:22,782 --> 00:21:26,775
Get the hell down!
This thing is gonna blow!
298
00:21:32,792 --> 00:21:36,796
Get out! Chick, get out now!
299
00:21:36,796 --> 00:21:39,799
Get down!
300
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:42,802
Three dozen research calls and every
time the same man is recommended.
301
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:45,805
He's worked on every terrain
this planet can offer.
302
00:21:45,805 --> 00:21:47,807
Whenever they said it couldn't be
drilled, this guy drilled it.
303
00:21:47,807 --> 00:21:51,811
- Everybody all right?
- We struck oil, baby!
304
00:21:51,811 --> 00:21:55,804
Somebody could've got killed out here
today. You want that on your conscience?
305
00:21:57,817 --> 00:21:59,819
High thumb. You are man, Harry.
306
00:21:59,819 --> 00:22:03,812
Thumbs high.
307
00:22:04,824 --> 00:22:08,817
You're fired.
308
00:22:11,831 --> 00:22:13,833
Who's Harry Stamper?
309
00:22:13,833 --> 00:22:16,836
Yeah, I'm Harry Stamper.
What's all this about?
310
00:22:16,836 --> 00:22:20,840
Mr. Stamper, I'm General Montgomery,
commander of the Pacific airforces.
311
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,842
I've been sent here
by the secretary of defense...
312
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:26,846
on direct orders from the president
of the United States.
313
00:22:26,846 --> 00:22:28,848
It's a matter of urgent
national security.
314
00:22:28,848 --> 00:22:32,852
I need you to get on that chopper
right now, no questions asked.
315
00:22:32,852 --> 00:22:35,855
- Crazy Willie put you up to this?
- Afraid I don't know Crazy Willie.
316
00:22:35,855 --> 00:22:39,848
Sir, I'm dead serious about this.
317
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:41,861
- Harry.
- What?
318
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:44,864
Man, I swear to God,
she never told me her age.
319
00:22:44,864 --> 00:22:48,868
It's all right.
Relax. It's about me.
320
00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:52,861
Oh. Forget it.
321
00:22:54,874 --> 00:22:57,877
All right, General.
I'll go with ya.
322
00:22:57,877 --> 00:23:01,870
On one condition...
we have to take my daughter along.
323
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:06,886
- What did I do?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where you guys
takin' her? Wait a minute.
324
00:23:06,886 --> 00:23:08,888
- Sir, stay right here.
- Well...
325
00:23:08,888 --> 00:23:12,881
Chick! Get him paid,
get him off the rig!
326
00:23:21,901 --> 00:23:24,904
- Mr. Stamper?
- Yeah, I'm Harry Stamper.
327
00:23:24,904 --> 00:23:28,908
How ya doin'? Miss Stamper.
I'm Dan Truman, executive director here.
328
00:23:28,908 --> 00:23:30,910
- Now listen, on behalf of all of us,
I'd really like to apologize...
- Apologize.
329
00:23:30,910 --> 00:23:33,913
I don't know if we can take
any more apologies, Mr. Truman.
330
00:23:33,913 --> 00:23:36,916
We've been apologized to
for the last 18 and a half hours.
331
00:23:36,916 --> 00:23:38,918
So if you don't mind,
how 'bout if we just get on with it...
332
00:23:38,918 --> 00:23:41,921
and you tell us why we're here
at the NASA space center?
333
00:23:41,921 --> 00:23:45,914
- We should probably talk alone.
- Mr. Truman, I don't keep any secrets
from my daughter, Grace.
334
00:23:46,926 --> 00:23:49,929
So whether you tell her now or
I tell her later she's gonna find out...
335
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:51,931
one way or the other,
so why don't we just get on with it?
336
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:55,935
So when the rogue comet hit the asteroid
belt, it sent shrapnel right for us.
337
00:23:55,935 --> 00:23:58,938
For the next 15 days
the Earth's in a shooting gallery.
338
00:23:58,938 --> 00:24:02,942
Even if the asteroid itself hits
the water, it's still hitting land.
339
00:24:02,942 --> 00:24:06,935
It'll flash-boil millions
of gallons of sea water and slam
into the ocean bedrock.
340
00:24:07,947 --> 00:24:11,951
Now, if it's a Pacific Ocean impact...
which we think it will be...
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:15,955
it'll create a tidal wave three miles
high, travel at 1,000 miles an hour...
342
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:19,959
covering California
and washing up in Denver.
343
00:24:19,959 --> 00:24:23,963
Japan's gone. Australia's wiped out.
344
00:24:23,963 --> 00:24:26,966
Halfthe world's population'll be
incinerated by the heat blast...
345
00:24:26,966 --> 00:24:29,969
and the rest'll freeze to death
from nuclear winter.
346
00:24:29,969 --> 00:24:32,972
That's unbelievable.
347
00:24:32,972 --> 00:24:36,965
Well, actually,
this is as real as it gets.
348
00:24:37,977 --> 00:24:40,980
Well, it's coming, right now...
349
00:24:40,980 --> 00:24:43,983
right for us...
at 22,000 miles an hour.
350
00:24:43,983 --> 00:24:47,976
Not a soul on Earth can hide from it.
351
00:25:03,002 --> 00:25:05,004
I take it you're not
alerting everyone like this.
352
00:25:05,004 --> 00:25:09,008
Nobody knows.
That's the way it stays.
353
00:25:09,008 --> 00:25:11,010
For the next ten days, there are
only nine telescopes in the world...
354
00:25:11,010 --> 00:25:14,013
that can spot the asteroid,
and we control eight of 'em.
355
00:25:14,013 --> 00:25:17,016
The president's classified
this information top secret.
356
00:25:17,016 --> 00:25:20,019
If news like this got out,
there'd be an overnight breakdown...
357
00:25:20,019 --> 00:25:24,012
of basic social services worldwide...
rioting, mass religious hysteria.
358
00:25:25,024 --> 00:25:28,027
Total chaos. You can imagine.
359
00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:32,020
Basically the worst parts
of the Bible.
360
00:25:33,032 --> 00:25:37,036
Six billion people on the planet...
361
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,038
why'd you guys call me?
362
00:25:39,038 --> 00:25:42,041
- We need you to prep the team
we're sending up.
- Up?
363
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:46,045
We'll send 'em to the asteroid,
they'll land, they'll drill a hole,
they'll drop some nukes...
364
00:25:46,045 --> 00:25:49,048
take off and detonate
if we can fix this equipment problem.
365
00:25:49,048 --> 00:25:53,041
Now, the, uh, drilling unit's
a prototype we've been building
for the Mars project.
366
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:58,046
You, uh...
you might recognize the rig.
367
00:25:59,058 --> 00:26:03,051
Yeah, well, I guess I should
recognize it. It's my design.
368
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:08,067
What'd you do?
Steal a key to the patent office?
369
00:26:08,067 --> 00:26:11,070
- Yeah, basically.
- Let me get this straight.
370
00:26:11,070 --> 00:26:15,074
I got pulled off an oil rig,
flown halfway around the world
because you stole my drill design...
371
00:26:15,074 --> 00:26:19,078
couldn't read the plans right
and did a piss-poor job
of putting it together, is that it?
372
00:26:19,078 --> 00:26:22,081
- Well, technically,
patents don't apply to outer space.
- Just shut up, Quincy.
373
00:26:22,081 --> 00:26:25,084
It's not going to Mars anymore.
It's going to try to save this planet.
374
00:26:25,084 --> 00:26:27,086
And we need to know
what's wrong with it pretty quick.
375
00:26:27,086 --> 00:26:29,088
You said we did a bad job
of putting it together?
376
00:26:29,088 --> 00:26:33,092
No, I said you did a piss-poor job
of putting it together.
377
00:26:33,092 --> 00:26:35,094
First of all, you got
the flow system all reversed.
378
00:26:35,094 --> 00:26:39,087
Let me guess: you've been tearin' up
rotors and you can't figure out why.
379
00:26:40,099 --> 00:26:44,103
- Yeah, that's right, actually.
- Well, that's because your cams are
all wrong, Mr. Wizard.
380
00:26:44,103 --> 00:26:48,107
- Who's been operating this thing?
- Right there.
381
00:26:48,107 --> 00:26:51,110
W-We've actually... we've had them
training for eight months solid now.
382
00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:54,113
- Eight whole months?
- Well, pretty much, yeah.
383
00:26:54,113 --> 00:26:57,116
- Well, gee whiz.
- Well, this is the team
that has to do the job up there.
384
00:26:57,116 --> 00:26:59,118
We need you to train 'em down here.
385
00:26:59,118 --> 00:27:02,121
Well, Mr. Stamper, what do you think?
386
00:27:02,121 --> 00:27:04,123
You know, drilling's a science.
It's an art.
387
00:27:04,123 --> 00:27:07,126
I'm a third-generation driller,
doin' it all my life...
388
00:27:07,126 --> 00:27:09,128
and I still haven't got it
all figured out.
389
00:27:09,128 --> 00:27:13,132
I assume you sent for me because
somebody told you I was the best.
390
00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:16,135
Well, I'm only the best
because I work with the best.
391
00:27:16,135 --> 00:27:19,138
You don't trust the men you're
working with, you're as good as dead.
392
00:27:19,138 --> 00:27:22,141
Now, you want to send
these boys into space, fine.
393
00:27:22,141 --> 00:27:24,143
I'm sure they'll make
good astronauts.
394
00:27:24,143 --> 00:27:27,146
But they don't know jack
about drillin'.
395
00:27:27,146 --> 00:27:29,148
- What's your contingency plan?
- Contingency plan?
396
00:27:29,148 --> 00:27:32,151
Your backup plan. You gotta have
some kind of backup plan, right?
397
00:27:32,151 --> 00:27:35,154
- No, we don't have a backup plan.
This is it.
- And this is the best that you could...
398
00:27:35,154 --> 00:27:39,158
that the-the government,
the U.S. government can come up with?
399
00:27:39,158 --> 00:27:42,161
I mean, y-you're NASA, for cryin'
out loud. You put a man on the moon.
400
00:27:42,161 --> 00:27:46,165
You're geniuses! Y- You're the guys
that think this shit up.
401
00:27:46,165 --> 00:27:48,167
I'm sure you got a team of men
sittin' around somewhere right now...
402
00:27:48,167 --> 00:27:51,170
just thinkin' shit up
and somebody backin' them up.
403
00:27:51,170 --> 00:27:54,173
You tellin' me you don't have
a backup plan, that these
eight Boy Scouts right here...
404
00:27:54,173 --> 00:27:57,176
that is the world's hope,
that's what you're tellin' me?
405
00:27:57,176 --> 00:28:01,180
- Yeah.
- Oh, Jesus. Damn it.
406
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:05,173
We're a little short on time here.
Will you help us?
407
00:28:09,188 --> 00:28:12,191
- All they gotta do is drill?
- That's it.
408
00:28:12,191 --> 00:28:15,194
No space walkin',
no crazy astronaut stuff?
409
00:28:15,194 --> 00:28:17,196
Just drill.
410
00:28:17,196 --> 00:28:20,199
How many men were you plannin'
on takin' up there?
411
00:28:20,199 --> 00:28:22,201
We're sendin' up
two shuttles, two teams.
412
00:28:22,201 --> 00:28:24,203
If I do this,
I'm gonna wanna take my own men.
413
00:28:24,203 --> 00:28:27,206
You got it.
414
00:28:27,206 --> 00:28:30,209
So you're saying you'll help us?
415
00:28:30,209 --> 00:28:32,211
Yes, sir.
416
00:28:32,211 --> 00:28:36,204
Thanks.
417
00:28:40,219 --> 00:28:44,212
I just don't trust anybody else
to do it, that's all.
418
00:28:46,225 --> 00:28:49,228
No, Mrs. Curlene,
it's Harry Stamper.
419
00:28:49,228 --> 00:28:53,232
If you see Bear, you tell him
Harry's lookin' for him.
420
00:28:53,232 --> 00:28:56,235
Those guys get off this rig,
they scatter. J. Otis Curlene Bear...
421
00:28:56,235 --> 00:29:00,228
probably the only black man
on a big hog in Kadoka, South Dakota.
422
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,244
Come and get Papa Bear!
423
00:29:05,244 --> 00:29:09,237
- Uh, Max.
- You got a weight limit on the shuttle?
424
00:29:10,249 --> 00:29:13,252
- Max.
- Hey, Mama.
425
00:29:13,252 --> 00:29:17,256
- Oh, that's so sweet, Maxie.
- Hey, did ya get me one of them
yellow jelly bear claws I like?
426
00:29:17,256 --> 00:29:19,258
Maxie, are you in trouble
with the law again?
427
00:29:19,258 --> 00:29:21,260
- No, Mama.
- Maxie.
428
00:29:21,260 --> 00:29:25,264
I swear, Mama, I'm...
429
00:29:25,264 --> 00:29:28,267
- You know I want Rockhound.
- We call him Hound because...
430
00:29:28,267 --> 00:29:32,271
well, um, he's horny.
431
00:29:32,271 --> 00:29:36,275
Well, you might want to start
with every bar in New Orleans.
432
00:29:36,275 --> 00:29:39,278
That is a big, shiny mount,
isn't it?
433
00:29:39,278 --> 00:29:41,280
- How long you been married?
- For two weeks.
434
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,283
- See this diamond?
- Yeah?
435
00:29:44,283 --> 00:29:47,286
- It's not a diamond.
Would you like another drink?
- Yeah.
436
00:29:47,286 --> 00:29:49,288
- Sir, FBI.
- You're so cute.
437
00:29:49,288 --> 00:29:52,291
- No, thanks.
- We have a national security matter.
438
00:29:52,291 --> 00:29:54,293
- Good for you.
- Let's go.
439
00:29:54,293 --> 00:29:57,296
- Now.
- How old are you?
440
00:29:57,296 --> 00:30:00,299
Oscar Choice... spacy
but absolutely brilliant geologist.
441
00:30:00,299 --> 00:30:04,292
He owns a horse ranch
outside of El Paso.
442
00:30:06,305 --> 00:30:10,309
What the...
443
00:30:10,309 --> 00:30:14,302
Mr. Chick Chapel, at the craps table,
Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada.
444
00:30:15,314 --> 00:30:18,317
Yes! About time.
445
00:30:18,317 --> 00:30:22,310
Charles Chapel, game's over.
446
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:26,325
Who's gonna run the other rig?
447
00:30:26,325 --> 00:30:28,327
How 'bout Benny? He's good.
448
00:30:28,327 --> 00:30:31,330
The only one knows
how to run it as well as I do is A.J.
449
00:30:31,330 --> 00:30:34,333
I thought you said
you couldn't trust him.
450
00:30:34,333 --> 00:30:37,336
I thought you said I could.
451
00:30:37,336 --> 00:30:40,339
Yep, you are on your way, A.J.
452
00:30:40,339 --> 00:30:44,343
Well, you know, bein' in business
for yourself has its advantages...
453
00:30:44,343 --> 00:30:48,336
make my own hours,
nobody shoots me in the leg.
454
00:30:49,348 --> 00:30:52,351
You don't got
a gun on ya now, do ya? Oh, good.
455
00:30:52,351 --> 00:30:56,344
'Cause I kinda wanted to get back
to this whole thing
about you askin' me for help.
456
00:30:57,356 --> 00:31:01,349
Does that mean that there's actually a
job that Mr. All-Go-No-Quit-Big-Nuts...
457
00:31:02,361 --> 00:31:05,364
Harry Stamper can't handle by himself...
458
00:31:05,364 --> 00:31:08,367
and needs my expert advice?
459
00:31:08,367 --> 00:31:10,369
- Somethin' like that, yeah.
- Well, no, no, no.
460
00:31:10,369 --> 00:31:14,373
I mean, is it-it something like that,
or is it that?
461
00:31:14,373 --> 00:31:17,376
You know,
you and me got a real problem.
462
00:31:17,376 --> 00:31:20,379
You know, Harry,
there are only, uh...
463
00:31:20,379 --> 00:31:23,382
five words I wanna hear
from you right now.
464
00:31:23,382 --> 00:31:27,375
And those words are: "You know, A.J.,
I really look up to you.
465
00:31:28,387 --> 00:31:31,390
"You've been a hero of mine
for a long time, and...
466
00:31:31,390 --> 00:31:34,393
I'm very impressed with yourwork;
I'm emotionally closed off."
467
00:31:34,393 --> 00:31:36,395
That's like...
that's like 11 words or somethin'.
468
00:31:36,395 --> 00:31:40,388
You know what? How about just,
"A.J., I'm sorry, and... and I love ya."
469
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,403
You know,A.J.,
there's not a job on the planet...
470
00:31:44,403 --> 00:31:48,407
that I want you
to work with me on.
471
00:31:48,407 --> 00:31:51,410
I mean that.
472
00:31:51,410 --> 00:31:55,403
So what are you doin' here?
Harry, what's the job?
473
00:31:58,417 --> 00:32:00,419
Mac Daddy!
What's up, baby?
474
00:32:00,419 --> 00:32:04,412
Yeah, big Bear.
What's up? What's up?
475
00:32:05,424 --> 00:32:09,417
What's up, Harry?
Did NASA find oil on Uranus, man?
476
00:32:17,436 --> 00:32:20,439
None of you have to go.
We can all just sit here on Earth...
477
00:32:20,439 --> 00:32:24,432
wait for this big rock to crash into it,
kill everything and everybody we know.
478
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,450
The United States government
just asked us to save the world.
479
00:32:31,450 --> 00:32:35,454
- Anybody wanna say no?
- Twenty years...
480
00:32:35,454 --> 00:32:39,458
haven't turned ya down once,
not about to start now.
481
00:32:39,458 --> 00:32:43,451
- I'm there.
- Guess I can't let you
go up there alone.
482
00:32:44,463 --> 00:32:46,465
I'm with you.
483
00:32:46,465 --> 00:32:49,468
I mean, this is...
this is historic.
484
00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:52,471
Guys, this is
like deep blue hero stuff.
485
00:32:52,471 --> 00:32:56,475
- Of course I'm in.
- While I don't share his enthusiasm...
486
00:32:56,475 --> 00:33:00,468
you know me... beam me up, Scotty.
487
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,473
- You all right, Max?
- I-I don't... I-I don't...
488
00:33:06,485 --> 00:33:08,487
Whatever you think.
489
00:33:08,487 --> 00:33:12,491
- What about you?
- I'm in.
490
00:33:12,491 --> 00:33:16,495
All right, then.
491
00:33:16,495 --> 00:33:18,497
We go.
492
00:33:18,497 --> 00:33:21,500
I don't mean to be the materialistic
weasel of this group, but...
493
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:24,503
you think we'll get
hazard pay out of this?
494
00:33:24,503 --> 00:33:26,505
If you're trying to make me feel better
about this scenario, give it up.
495
00:33:26,505 --> 00:33:30,509
To tell you the truth, I'm kind of
encouraged. This guy Chick here was
and Air Force commando for six years.
496
00:33:30,509 --> 00:33:34,513
We got robbery, assault,
arrest, resisting arrest.
497
00:33:34,513 --> 00:33:37,516
We got a collection agent
for the mob. Two of these guys
have done serious time.
498
00:33:37,516 --> 00:33:40,519
- Look, they're the best at what they do.
- So am I.
499
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:42,521
And I'm not
so optimistic.
500
00:33:42,521 --> 00:33:45,524
We spend $250 billion
a year on defense.
501
00:33:45,524 --> 00:33:48,527
And here we are. The fate
of the planet is in the hands...
502
00:33:48,527 --> 00:33:52,520
of a bunch of retards I wouldn't
trust with a potato gun.
503
00:33:55,534 --> 00:33:59,527
- So what's the verdict?
- They'll do it. They've made
a few requests though.
504
00:34:00,539 --> 00:34:04,543
Such as?
505
00:34:04,543 --> 00:34:08,536
Just a few things here, uh...
506
00:34:09,548 --> 00:34:12,551
Nothing really big, just...
Well, as an example...
507
00:34:12,551 --> 00:34:16,544
Uh, Oscar here's got some
outstanding parking tickets.
Wants 'em wiped off his record.
508
00:34:18,557 --> 00:34:22,561
- Fifty-six tickets in seven states.
- I'll tell him, Oscar. I got it.
509
00:34:22,561 --> 00:34:25,564
- Okay.
- Uh, Noonan's got two women friends...
510
00:34:25,564 --> 00:34:28,567
that he'd like to see made
American citizens, no questions asked.
511
00:34:28,567 --> 00:34:32,571
Max would like you to bring back
eight track tapes.
512
00:34:32,571 --> 00:34:36,575
Not sure if that's gonna work,
but let's see what else.
513
00:34:36,575 --> 00:34:40,568
Chick wants a full week's Emperor's
Package at Caesar's Palace, um...
514
00:34:43,582 --> 00:34:47,575
Hey, you guys wouldn't
be able to tell us who
actually killed Kennedy, would ya?
515
00:34:50,589 --> 00:34:54,593
Uh, Bear would like to stay
at the...
516
00:34:54,593 --> 00:34:56,595
White Horse, the...
517
00:34:56,595 --> 00:34:59,598
White House.
White House.
518
00:34:59,598 --> 00:35:03,591
White House. Yeah, he'd like
to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom
of the White House for the summer.
519
00:35:04,603 --> 00:35:08,607
- Stuff like that.
- Sure, I think we can, uh...
520
00:35:08,607 --> 00:35:11,610
take care of some of that.
521
00:35:11,610 --> 00:35:15,614
Harry!
522
00:35:15,614 --> 00:35:18,617
Yeah, one more thing. Um...
523
00:35:18,617 --> 00:35:22,610
None of them wanna
pay taxes again.
524
00:35:23,622 --> 00:35:27,615
Ever.
525
00:35:31,630 --> 00:35:34,633
Who's that for?
Mr. Ed?
526
00:35:34,633 --> 00:35:38,637
You stick that in me, I'm gonna
stab you in the heart with it.
You ever see Pulp Fiction?
527
00:35:38,637 --> 00:35:42,630
Oh, say can you see
528
00:35:45,644 --> 00:35:48,647
We're losin' him,
we're losin' him. Clear! Kaboom!
529
00:35:48,647 --> 00:35:51,650
- Freddie, you all right?
- Does this look okay to you?
530
00:35:51,650 --> 00:35:55,654
- Does this look okay?
- It's not all bad. It's kinda tingly.
531
00:35:55,654 --> 00:35:58,657
Mr. Chapel, you're next!
532
00:35:58,657 --> 00:36:01,660
Oh, gee, lady,
I just came here to drill.
533
00:36:01,660 --> 00:36:05,653
Oh, so did I.
534
00:36:06,665 --> 00:36:08,667
Your trigly cerides
are way high...
535
00:36:08,667 --> 00:36:11,670
and your bad cholesterol
is shockingly bad.
536
00:36:11,670 --> 00:36:14,673
- Tell ya to lay off
those pork rinds, Pooh Bear.
- Yeah, pork rind this.
537
00:36:14,673 --> 00:36:18,677
Pork rinds this!
Yeah!
538
00:36:18,677 --> 00:36:22,681
Take it off, baby!
539
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:26,674
Well, at least
they're in good spirits.
540
00:36:28,687 --> 00:36:32,691
Piece of cake.
Look, you wanna compare brain pans?
541
00:36:32,691 --> 00:36:35,694
I won the Westinghouse Prize
when I was 12. Big deal.
542
00:36:35,694 --> 00:36:39,698
Published at 19. So what? I got
a double doctorate from M.I.T. at 22.
543
00:36:39,698 --> 00:36:42,701
Chemistry and geology.
I taught at Princeton for 2 1/2 years.
544
00:36:42,701 --> 00:36:46,694
You know, I think this might be
the most uncomfortable room
I've ever been in in my life.
545
00:36:47,706 --> 00:36:50,709
Why do I do this? Because the money's
good, the scenery changes...
546
00:36:50,709 --> 00:36:52,711
and they let me use
explosives, okay?
547
00:36:52,711 --> 00:36:55,714
Okay, you wanna be
all psychological with me, that's fine.
548
00:36:55,714 --> 00:36:57,716
I'll tell you one thing
that really drives me nuts...
549
00:36:57,716 --> 00:37:01,720
is people who think that Jethro Tull
is just a person in the band.
550
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,722
Who is Jethro Tull?
551
00:37:03,722 --> 00:37:07,715
My favorite dish is haggis...
heart, lungs, liver.
552
00:37:08,727 --> 00:37:12,720
You shove that all in a sheep's stomach,
then you boil it.
That'll put some hair on your ass.
553
00:37:13,732 --> 00:37:16,735
I am not crazy. I'm just
a little emotional right now, okay?
554
00:37:16,735 --> 00:37:19,738
You all throwin' all this stuff
at me, man. Look... get... I mean...
555
00:37:19,738 --> 00:37:23,731
After this is over, could I, like,
get a hug from you or somethin'?
556
00:37:24,743 --> 00:37:26,745
Okay, Cyclops lady's
startin' to bug me.
557
00:37:26,745 --> 00:37:29,748
- Can you handle it?
- I mean, I can handle what I'm,
you know, I'm gonna do.
558
00:37:29,748 --> 00:37:31,750
I can handle that, but I don't know
if I can handle this room.
559
00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:35,743
Woman with large breasts.
560
00:37:36,755 --> 00:37:39,758
- Woman with medium breasts.
- Here's Harry givin' me a hard time.
561
00:37:39,758 --> 00:37:41,760
And, uh, this is Harry tellin' me
it's not good enough.
562
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,764
And, uh, this is Harry tellin' me
I can't marry his daughter.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
563
00:37:45,764 --> 00:37:48,767
Just let it out.
564
00:37:48,767 --> 00:37:51,770
I suffered a major head injury
when I was in high school.
565
00:37:51,770 --> 00:37:54,773
This one looks like you...
with breasts.
566
00:37:54,773 --> 00:37:57,776
Yeah, I can handle it.
Yeah, I can handle it.
567
00:37:57,776 --> 00:38:01,769
A home run! The Cubs win
the World Series!
568
00:38:03,782 --> 00:38:07,786
Fail. Fail.
Depressively fail.
569
00:38:07,786 --> 00:38:10,789
One toxicology analysis
revealed ketamine.
570
00:38:10,789 --> 00:38:14,793
- That is a very powerful sedative.
- Sedatives are used
all the time, Doctor.
571
00:38:14,793 --> 00:38:17,796
Well, this one's used on horses.
572
00:38:17,796 --> 00:38:19,798
Some of these guys
are pretty big.
573
00:38:19,798 --> 00:38:22,801
It would normally take 18 months
to psychologically prepare...
574
00:38:22,801 --> 00:38:24,803
prescreen viable subjects
for space travel.
575
00:38:24,803 --> 00:38:28,796
- We have seen evidence of a wide
variety of territorial aggression.
- Can they physically survive the trip?
576
00:38:30,809 --> 00:38:34,802
- That's all I need to know here, okay?
- Personally, I don't know how
they survived the tests.
577
00:38:40,819 --> 00:38:44,812
Talk about the wrong stuff.
578
00:38:46,825 --> 00:38:48,827
Good morning.
I'm Colonel Willie Sharp.
579
00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:51,830
In addition to flying one of
the X-71 teams to that rock...
580
00:38:51,830 --> 00:38:55,834
my job is to train you how to deal
with the mental and physical
rigors of working in space...
581
00:38:55,834 --> 00:38:59,838
so you don't freak out
on the asteroid.
582
00:38:59,838 --> 00:39:03,842
United States astronauts
train for years.
583
00:39:03,842 --> 00:39:05,844
You have 12 days.
584
00:39:05,844 --> 00:39:09,848
Do we have any intelligent questions
before we get started?
585
00:39:09,848 --> 00:39:13,841
- What's an X-71?
- You're the first civilians
to ever see her.
586
00:39:14,853 --> 00:39:17,856
We call 'em the X-71s.
587
00:39:17,856 --> 00:39:19,858
It's a top secret joint venture
with the Air Force.
588
00:39:19,858 --> 00:39:23,851
She and her sister ship at Vandenberg
are leaving for launch prep in Florida,
but I thought you oughta take a look.
589
00:39:24,863 --> 00:39:27,866
The two shuttles going up are
the Freedom and the Independence.
590
00:39:27,866 --> 00:39:31,870
Hertitanium alloy impenetrable skin
covers the toughest, meanest...
591
00:39:31,870 --> 00:39:34,873
most sophisticated space vehicle
man has ever made.
592
00:39:34,873 --> 00:39:36,875
Okay, Air Force Colonel Davis,
NASA pilot Tucker...
593
00:39:36,875 --> 00:39:38,877
will command the shuttle
Independence.
594
00:39:38,877 --> 00:39:42,881
Air Force Colonel Sharp,
NASA pilot Watts, shuttle Freedom.
595
00:39:42,881 --> 00:39:46,885
Munitions specialist Gruber and Halsey
will supervise the nuclear ordinance.
596
00:39:46,885 --> 00:39:50,889
Anyway, uh, I just thought, uh...
597
00:39:50,889 --> 00:39:54,882
thought you guys should meet.
598
00:39:56,895 --> 00:39:59,887
Gentlemen, welcome to our weightless
environmental training facility.
599
00:40:06,905 --> 00:40:09,908
So we're going swimming on this
asteroid? Is thatwhatthis is for?
600
00:40:09,908 --> 00:40:13,912
Here at downtown NASA,
we call this the "Monster Armadillo."
601
00:40:13,912 --> 00:40:17,916
Gonna be retrofitted
with your drilling arm. She'll turn
800 turbo horses in near zero gravity.
602
00:40:17,916 --> 00:40:21,909
Mind if we take a look at her now?
All these rubber hoses gotta go, Max.
Count'em up.
603
00:40:22,921 --> 00:40:25,924
Make sure it's
short-throw shiftin'.
604
00:40:25,924 --> 00:40:28,927
Quincy!
Somebody tell me what this is.
605
00:40:28,927 --> 00:40:32,931
Plastic ice cream scoop?
What'd that cost? About $400?
606
00:40:32,931 --> 00:40:36,924
This is about the sorriest group
of people I've seen in all
my entire military career.
607
00:40:37,936 --> 00:40:41,940
Your space flight's gonna be
a brutal assault on your senses.
608
00:40:41,940 --> 00:40:45,944
I'm here to give you a taste
of that. NASA's got some of
the finest pilots in the world.
609
00:40:45,944 --> 00:40:49,948
They're gonna be suckin' your eyes
into the back of your heads.
610
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,951
Go easy on me, okay?
It's my first time.
611
00:40:52,951 --> 00:40:56,944
I just wanna seriously say
I have a small fear of flying.
612
00:40:57,956 --> 00:41:01,949
I'm gonna twist ya.
613
00:41:03,962 --> 00:41:06,965
- And I'm gonna flip ya.
- What's the matter with you?
614
00:41:06,965 --> 00:41:09,968
Frap your body
till your bones hurt.
615
00:41:09,968 --> 00:41:12,971
When you squeal, I'm just
gonna go faster and harder.
616
00:41:12,971 --> 00:41:16,964
No, take me down!
617
00:41:17,976 --> 00:41:19,978
- How's the rest of the crew?
- Well, uh...
618
00:41:19,978 --> 00:41:23,971
Sorry about the rib chunks
all over your dashboard.
619
00:41:24,983 --> 00:41:27,986
Don't forget:
We gotta X-ray all these...
620
00:41:27,986 --> 00:41:30,989
- If you had to say, who would you say?
- I don't know, Oscar.
Who do you think you are?
621
00:41:30,989 --> 00:41:34,993
- Han Solo.
- No. If anybody's anybody, I'm Han.
622
00:41:34,993 --> 00:41:36,995
And you're...
you're Chewbacca.
623
00:41:36,995 --> 00:41:39,998
Chewie? Have you even
seen Star Wars?
624
00:41:39,998 --> 00:41:43,991
All right, men, let's go.
Step it up.
625
00:41:47,005 --> 00:41:51,009
Neil Armstrong, 1969,
bouncing on the moon.
626
00:41:51,009 --> 00:41:55,013
He's bouncing because there's
less gravity up there than on Earth.
627
00:41:55,013 --> 00:41:58,016
This will be similar
to the asteroid, so watch it.
628
00:41:58,016 --> 00:42:01,019
Something gets launched off
that asteroid with enough force...
629
00:42:01,019 --> 00:42:03,021
it's gonna keep on going
right into outer space.
630
00:42:03,021 --> 00:42:07,025
What is the deal?
Is it just me, or is Watts really hot?
631
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:09,027
Yeah.
632
00:42:09,027 --> 00:42:13,031
So we have these new generation suits
with directional accelerant thrusters.
633
00:42:13,031 --> 00:42:15,033
- You won't bounce like Neil Armstrong.
- Yeah, think so?
634
00:42:15,033 --> 00:42:17,035
- Bear!
- Yes?
635
00:42:17,035 --> 00:42:20,038
- Do we have a problem?
- No.
636
00:42:20,038 --> 00:42:24,042
'Cause I'm trying to describe
to you how these D.A.T.s
keep your ass on the ground...
637
00:42:24,042 --> 00:42:26,044
so that if I were to kick you
in the balls...
638
00:42:26,044 --> 00:42:29,047
and you don't know how to work them,
what happens to you?
639
00:42:29,047 --> 00:42:32,050
- I float away.
- Yeah.
640
00:42:32,050 --> 00:42:35,053
And, uh, when do we
start training for that?
641
00:42:35,053 --> 00:42:37,055
Gentlemen, I'll give you 30 seconds
to put your helmets on...
642
00:42:37,055 --> 00:42:40,058
then the oxygen will be sucked
out of this vacuum...
643
00:42:40,058 --> 00:42:42,060
and you will know what it's like
to be in space.
644
00:42:42,060 --> 00:42:44,062
Go!
645
00:42:44,062 --> 00:42:47,065
Depressed in 30 seconds.
646
00:42:47,065 --> 00:42:49,067
Main valves have been activated.
647
00:42:49,067 --> 00:42:53,060
Vacuum P.S.I.s are open.
648
00:43:08,086 --> 00:43:10,088
Okay, gentlemen,
so here's the flight plan.
649
00:43:10,088 --> 00:43:13,091
Now, let's keep the laughter to
a minimum. I know this is not to scale.
650
00:43:13,091 --> 00:43:17,084
Both shuttles will take off
Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
651
00:43:18,096 --> 00:43:20,098
Now, 67 minutes later...
652
00:43:20,098 --> 00:43:24,091
you're gonna dock with the Russian space
station to meet cosmonaut Andropov...
653
00:43:25,103 --> 00:43:28,106
who will refuel the shuttles
with liquid O2.
654
00:43:28,106 --> 00:43:30,108
That's your fuel.
Then you'll release...
655
00:43:30,108 --> 00:43:33,111
and take a 60-hour trip
toward the moon.
656
00:43:33,111 --> 00:43:37,115
Now, we only have one shot
of landing on this rock...
657
00:43:37,115 --> 00:43:41,119
and that's precisely when
the asteroid passes by the moon.
658
00:43:41,119 --> 00:43:44,122
You'll then use lunar gravity
and burn your thrusters...
659
00:43:44,122 --> 00:43:47,125
sling shotting you
around the moon...
660
00:43:47,125 --> 00:43:50,128
coming up behind the asteroid.
661
00:43:50,128 --> 00:43:53,131
- You'll be upward of 11 Gs.
- Yeah, I remember this one.
662
00:43:53,131 --> 00:43:57,135
It's where the, uh, the coyote
sat his ass down in a slingshot...
663
00:43:57,135 --> 00:43:59,137
then he strapped himself
to an Acme rocket.
664
00:43:59,137 --> 00:44:02,140
- Is-Is that what we're doin' here?
- Rockhound.
665
00:44:02,140 --> 00:44:05,143
- No, no, really, because it didn't
work out too well for the coyote, Harry.
- Hey, Rock.
666
00:44:05,143 --> 00:44:09,136
- Remember that one?
- Well, actually, we have a lot better
rockets than the coyote.
667
00:44:11,149 --> 00:44:15,153
Now, when you've finished
your Road Runner thrust move...
668
00:44:15,153 --> 00:44:19,157
you'll be moving
at 22,500 miles per hour.
669
00:44:19,157 --> 00:44:22,160
Coming around behind the asteroid,
where we're hoping...
670
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,163
that the tail debris'll be
cleared by the moon's gravity.
671
00:44:25,163 --> 00:44:27,165
And you'll land right here.
That's it.
672
00:44:27,165 --> 00:44:31,158
We got separate landing sites
for each team. Softest parts
of the rock as we can figure.
673
00:44:32,170 --> 00:44:35,173
At NASA, we don't take chances.
We double up on everything.
674
00:44:35,173 --> 00:44:38,176
First team
that hits 800 feet wins.
675
00:44:38,176 --> 00:44:42,180
Now this rock is big, it's dense, it's
got some gravity. You can walk around.
676
00:44:42,180 --> 00:44:45,183
But use your thrusters
so you can work easier.
677
00:44:45,183 --> 00:44:49,187
Okay, Mr. Truman, let's say that
we actually do land on this.
678
00:44:49,187 --> 00:44:51,189
What's it gonna be like
up there?
679
00:44:51,189 --> 00:44:54,192
Two hundred degrees in the sunlight.
Minus 200 in the shade.
680
00:44:54,192 --> 00:44:58,185
Canyons of razor-sharp rock.
Unpredictable gravitational conditions.
681
00:44:59,197 --> 00:45:03,201
Unexpected eruptions.
Things like that.
682
00:45:03,201 --> 00:45:06,204
Okay, so the scariest
environment imaginable. Thanks.
683
00:45:06,204 --> 00:45:08,206
That's all you gotta say:
scariest environment imaginable.
684
00:45:08,206 --> 00:45:12,210
Okay, so you drill,
you drop the nuke, and you leave.
685
00:45:12,210 --> 00:45:16,203
Now, here's the key:
You're gonna remote detonate the bomb...
686
00:45:17,215 --> 00:45:21,219
before the asteroid
passes this plane... Zero Barrier.
687
00:45:21,219 --> 00:45:25,223
You do that, and the remaining
pieces of rock...
688
00:45:25,223 --> 00:45:28,226
should be deflected enough
to pass right by us.
689
00:45:28,226 --> 00:45:32,219
Now, if the bomb explodes
after Zero Barrier...
690
00:45:35,233 --> 00:45:36,234
game's over.
691
00:45:36,234 --> 00:45:39,237
Paul, this is Houston.
Fire your rockets.
692
00:45:39,237 --> 00:45:43,241
- Okay, your rockets are maximum.
Beautiful boost.
- Oscar!
693
00:45:43,241 --> 00:45:45,243
Hey, Harry. Hey, how's it goin'?
694
00:45:45,243 --> 00:45:48,246
- Have you seen Grace?
- Yeah, she's over in the hangar
with A.J.
695
00:45:48,246 --> 00:45:52,239
Harry, wait a second. Did you say Grace?
Okay, I thought you said Bear.
696
00:46:29,287 --> 00:46:33,280
Will you marry me?
697
00:46:45,303 --> 00:46:47,305
Grace is old enough
to vote, Harry.
698
00:46:47,305 --> 00:46:50,308
She's old enough to drink or
get married if she wants, get a divorce.
699
00:46:50,308 --> 00:46:53,311
Let me tell you something, fellas. When
I get back, when we get this job done...
700
00:46:53,311 --> 00:46:55,313
I will deal with this
in my own way.
701
00:46:55,313 --> 00:46:57,315
Come on, Harry. It's not like
I'm rootin' for A.J. here.
702
00:46:57,315 --> 00:47:00,318
- I'm just sayin', Grace is not
a little girl anymore.
- Hey, Rock, you know, wait a minute.
703
00:47:00,318 --> 00:47:03,321
Let me get a pencil and
a piece of paper. I wanna jot down
all your pearls of wisdom here.
704
00:47:03,321 --> 00:47:07,325
Get serious, Harry. Come on. While we're
off trottin' the globe, hunting mud...
705
00:47:07,325 --> 00:47:10,328
Gracie grew up to become
a full-blown hottie, you know?
706
00:47:10,328 --> 00:47:12,330
- Harry, she is fully hot. She is...
- She's a babe.
707
00:47:12,330 --> 00:47:16,334
Max, Max, okay. You're talkin'
about my little girl, all right?
708
00:47:16,334 --> 00:47:18,336
I think I know
who and what she is, okay?
709
00:47:18,336 --> 00:47:22,340
Okay, but Harry, all we're sayin' is,
we're talkin' about a kid who's
comin' into her own right now.
710
00:47:22,340 --> 00:47:26,333
And she's gettin' curious about her body
and she's exploring her sexuality.
And you know what?
711
00:47:27,345 --> 00:47:29,347
- Oscar.
- That's a natural thing.
712
00:47:29,347 --> 00:47:33,351
You are about five minutes older than
Grace is. Why should I listen to you?
713
00:47:33,351 --> 00:47:37,355
And I know what it feels like to have
your hormones pullin' you in just, you
know, a thousand different directions.
714
00:47:37,355 --> 00:47:41,359
- You don't know which end is up.
- Yo, Harry, no disrespect, man,
but we all helped to raise her.
715
00:47:41,359 --> 00:47:45,363
- So, in part, we all feel
like a bunch of daddies here.
- That's true.
716
00:47:45,363 --> 00:47:49,356
I'll be damned if I worked all
these years so my little girl
can marry a roughneck.
717
00:47:53,371 --> 00:47:55,373
She's better than that.
718
00:47:55,373 --> 00:47:59,377
Better than all of us.
719
00:48:05,383 --> 00:48:09,387
Harry, just sit back, relax.
I'm gonna put on a little
free Armadillo driving clinic for ya.
720
00:48:09,387 --> 00:48:13,380
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
721
00:48:18,396 --> 00:48:22,389
Two shuttle teams. A.J.'ll be
running the drill team with Oscar,
Bear and Noonan on the Independence.
722
00:48:23,401 --> 00:48:27,405
I'll run the drill team on Freedom
with Chick, Rockhound and Max.
723
00:48:27,405 --> 00:48:30,408
Once we land, we'll have
eight hours to get the job done.
724
00:48:30,408 --> 00:48:34,412
In order to split this rock
on the fault line,
we're gonna have to drill to 800 feet.
725
00:48:34,412 --> 00:48:38,405
Let's get our game faces on.
Now it's time for underwater simulation.
726
00:48:39,417 --> 00:48:42,420
Come on, Independence. Keep it up.
Let's go. We're the younger team here.
727
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:46,424
We're the varsity team.
Take it to 11,000.
728
00:48:46,424 --> 00:48:49,427
Okay, gentlemen, we're gonna
trick 'em up. My computer
will simulate a gas pocket...
729
00:48:49,427 --> 00:48:53,431
at 625 feet and then
hard iron ferrite at 635.
730
00:48:53,431 --> 00:48:57,435
I'm gonna drop some more O2 in.
We're takin' her up.
731
00:48:57,435 --> 00:49:00,438
- I'm givin' it more torque right now.
- All right, lookin' good, Bear.
732
00:49:00,438 --> 00:49:03,441
Clamp it down. Watch your time,
Independence team.
733
00:49:03,441 --> 00:49:05,443
Thanks, Harry. Would you mind
lettin' me run my own team?
734
00:49:05,443 --> 00:49:07,445
You're gonna blow the tranny, A.J.
Slow it down, baby.
735
00:49:07,445 --> 00:49:10,448
Take it easy, Bear.
Just relax. She can handle it.
736
00:49:10,448 --> 00:49:14,441
A.J., you're at 600 feet.
Your pipe is long.
Let's back the R.P.M.s down to 8,000.
737
00:49:15,453 --> 00:49:18,456
- We don't have time for 8,000!
- A.J., take it back down.
738
00:49:18,456 --> 00:49:20,458
You're gonna snap the pipe.
I don't wanna blow this transmission.
739
00:49:20,458 --> 00:49:22,460
- Damn it, 11,000.
- Slow it down, A.J.
740
00:49:22,460 --> 00:49:26,464
Bear, come on.
Get on our team for a little bit.
741
00:49:26,464 --> 00:49:29,467
- Whoa, space cowboy.
- Harry, are you listenin' to this?
- Yeah, I'm listenin', Bear.
742
00:49:29,467 --> 00:49:32,470
Harry? You don't work for Harry
anymore, okay?
743
00:49:32,470 --> 00:49:34,472
Out there you gotta listen to me.
When we're on that rock,
you gotta do what I say.
744
00:49:34,472 --> 00:49:38,476
Now send more to the turbine.
I'm throttling up to 11,000.
745
00:49:38,476 --> 00:49:40,478
A.J., back it off.
You're gonna blow the transmission.
746
00:49:40,478 --> 00:49:43,481
Hey, Harry, would you let me
run my team, please?
747
00:49:43,481 --> 00:49:46,484
- R.P.M.s are at red line.
- Bear, goddamn it,
I know what I'm doing.
748
00:49:46,484 --> 00:49:49,487
Come on. She can handle this.
She'll be fine. Trust me.
749
00:49:49,487 --> 00:49:52,490
- A.J., back the R...
- Transmission overload.
- Number one transmission is down.
750
00:49:52,490 --> 00:49:56,494
Oh, son of a...
The computer's wrong, and you know that.
751
00:49:56,494 --> 00:49:59,497
- We did the right thing.
- We're gonna restart the simulation.
752
00:49:59,497 --> 00:50:03,501
If you wanna replace a member
of the crew, now is the time.
753
00:50:03,501 --> 00:50:07,494
I'll take care of this.
Get him out of the tank, Chick.
754
00:50:09,507 --> 00:50:12,510
- You wanna go home?
Is that it? You wanna be fired?
- No, I don't.
755
00:50:12,510 --> 00:50:15,513
- My crew was doing the right thing.
- Your crew?
756
00:50:15,513 --> 00:50:17,515
- Yeah.
- Your crew just blew
the transmission, A.J.!
757
00:50:17,515 --> 00:50:21,508
Listen, that NASA computer is just
playin' it safe. The machine you built,
the rig, could do it.
758
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,522
Shut up. Just shut up!
Shut your mouth!
759
00:50:24,522 --> 00:50:28,526
Those men in that room
have zero tolerance
for showin' off, hot doggin'...
760
00:50:28,526 --> 00:50:32,530
goin' by your gut instinctor
you tryin' to be a hero, you got that?
761
00:50:32,530 --> 00:50:35,533
- Say the words, A.J.!
- I got it!
762
00:50:35,533 --> 00:50:38,536
- I want my men to have
tomorrow night off.
- What do you mean "off"?
763
00:50:38,536 --> 00:50:42,540
I mean, off. Out of here. For at least
ten hours. Then we'll go to Kennedy.
764
00:50:42,540 --> 00:50:46,544
Well, there's no possible way we can
do that, Harry. There's a potentially
huge security risk. What if they talk?
765
00:50:46,544 --> 00:50:49,547
- What if they get hurt?
- What if they're too burned out
to do the right thing?
766
00:50:49,547 --> 00:50:52,550
What if they get up there,
and they forget what
they're fighting for?
767
00:50:52,550 --> 00:50:54,552
You see what's goin' on up there.
These boys are ready to snap.
768
00:50:54,552 --> 00:50:57,555
They didn't ask to be here.
They got pulled off the street.
769
00:50:57,555 --> 00:50:59,557
For all we know, tomorrow night could be
the last night they ever see Earth.
770
00:50:59,557 --> 00:51:02,560
I don't think it's too much to ask to
let 'em spend it with their families.
771
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,562
- Well, listen, there's
no possible way we can do that.
- You got family, Colonel?
772
00:51:04,562 --> 00:51:08,555
- Two girls.
- Wouldn't you like to spend tomorrow
night with your little girls?
773
00:51:09,567 --> 00:51:12,570
I'm not askin' ya.
I'm tellin' ya.
774
00:51:12,570 --> 00:51:16,563
Make this happen.
775
00:51:23,581 --> 00:51:26,584
This is a pretty big loan.
Why don't you count the cash?
776
00:51:26,584 --> 00:51:28,586
Nah, this looks like
100 grand to me.
777
00:51:28,586 --> 00:51:32,590
I'm givin' you this at 60 percent.
I hope you know what you're doin'...
778
00:51:32,590 --> 00:51:34,592
because I'll bust your head
with a sledge hammer.
779
00:51:34,592 --> 00:51:37,595
- You'll get your money back.
- You don't look too healthy.
780
00:51:37,595 --> 00:51:40,598
You're not gonna die on me,
are ya?
781
00:51:40,598 --> 00:51:44,591
Let's just say,
no more than you are. Thanks, Vic.
782
00:51:50,608 --> 00:51:54,612
Don't wanna close my eyes
783
00:51:54,612 --> 00:51:57,615
I don't wanna fall asleep
784
00:51:57,615 --> 00:51:59,617
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
785
00:51:59,617 --> 00:52:03,610
- And I don't wanna miss a thing
- You know what I was thinkin'?
- What?
786
00:52:05,623 --> 00:52:09,627
I-I really don't think that the
animal cracker qualifies as a cracker.
787
00:52:09,627 --> 00:52:12,630
- Why?
- Well, 'cause it's sweet,
which to me suggests cookie.
788
00:52:12,630 --> 00:52:16,634
And, you know, putting cheese
on something is sort of
the defining characteristic...
789
00:52:16,634 --> 00:52:19,637
of what makes a cracker
a cracker.
790
00:52:19,637 --> 00:52:21,639
I don't know why
I thought of that. I just...
791
00:52:21,639 --> 00:52:23,641
Baby, you have
such sweet pillow talk.
792
00:52:23,641 --> 00:52:27,634
I got a little animal cracker, Discovery
Channel thing happenin' right here.
793
00:52:28,646 --> 00:52:32,639
Watch the gazelle
as he grazes through the open plains.
794
00:52:33,651 --> 00:52:37,655
Now look
as the cheetah approaches.
795
00:52:37,655 --> 00:52:40,658
Watch
as he stalks his prey.
796
00:52:40,658 --> 00:52:43,661
Now, the gazelle's
a little spooked...
797
00:52:43,661 --> 00:52:47,654
and he could head north
to the ample sustenance...
798
00:52:48,666 --> 00:52:52,659
provided by
the mountainous peaks above.
799
00:52:54,672 --> 00:52:57,675
He could go south.
800
00:52:57,675 --> 00:53:01,668
The gazelle now faces man's
most perilous question:
801
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,683
north, or...
802
00:53:05,683 --> 00:53:08,686
south?
803
00:53:08,686 --> 00:53:12,679
Way down under.
804
00:53:15,693 --> 00:53:18,696
Tune in next week.
805
00:53:18,696 --> 00:53:21,699
Baby...
806
00:53:21,699 --> 00:53:24,702
do you think it's possible
that anyone else in the world...
807
00:53:24,702 --> 00:53:28,695
is doing this very same thing
at this very same moment?
808
00:53:29,707 --> 00:53:31,709
I hope so.
809
00:53:31,709 --> 00:53:35,702
Otherwise, what the hell
are we tryin' to save?
810
00:53:39,717 --> 00:53:43,721
Don't wanna close my eyes
811
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:47,714
I don't wanna fall asleep
'cause I'd miss you, baby
812
00:53:48,726 --> 00:53:52,719
And I don't wanna miss a thing
813
00:53:56,734 --> 00:54:00,738
Hey.
814
00:54:00,738 --> 00:54:04,731
- What are you doing here?
- I was just passin' by on the, uh...
815
00:54:05,743 --> 00:54:09,736
I came...
816
00:54:11,749 --> 00:54:15,753
- Who's he?
- That man's a salesman.
817
00:54:15,753 --> 00:54:19,746
Would you go inside?
818
00:54:21,759 --> 00:54:25,763
Thank you.
819
00:54:25,763 --> 00:54:29,756
He got big.
820
00:54:30,768 --> 00:54:33,771
You can't come around like this.
821
00:54:33,771 --> 00:54:36,774
The court says you can't.
It confuses him.
822
00:54:36,774 --> 00:54:39,777
No, I know. I just...
823
00:54:39,777 --> 00:54:43,770
I wanted to say
that I'm sorry...
824
00:54:44,782 --> 00:54:48,786
about everything, and...
825
00:54:48,786 --> 00:54:50,788
I got somethin' comin' up.
826
00:54:50,788 --> 00:54:54,781
It's something kinda big.
You just might be proud of me.
827
00:54:55,793 --> 00:54:58,796
Would you do somethin' for me?
Would you just give him this?
828
00:54:58,796 --> 00:55:02,789
You don't have to... You don't have to
tell him who it's from. Just...
829
00:55:10,808 --> 00:55:13,811
Everybody talkin'about
what it is, what it ain't
830
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,813
Kiss on the devil
and you piss off a saint
831
00:55:15,813 --> 00:55:18,816
But it can't be love
if you don't have to crawl
832
00:55:18,816 --> 00:55:21,819
You say you don't need nothin'
but you got to have it all
833
00:55:21,819 --> 00:55:24,822
- Come back here!
- Hey, Noonan, you need ten grand?
834
00:55:24,822 --> 00:55:27,825
- Yeah.
- We gotta put
these girls through college.
835
00:55:27,825 --> 00:55:31,829
- I love this astronaut stuff.
- All right!
- Good work if you can get it.
836
00:55:31,829 --> 00:55:33,831
Yeah, I'm just in town doin'
a little astronaut training.
837
00:55:33,831 --> 00:55:36,834
Ooh! Astronauta.
838
00:55:36,834 --> 00:55:39,837
Ah, s�. I'm
a mission specialist.
839
00:55:39,837 --> 00:55:43,830
- Yes, and what's that mean?
- I don't know.
840
00:55:45,843 --> 00:55:48,846
Hey! Who the hell
do you think you guys are?
841
00:55:48,846 --> 00:55:52,839
- You're hoggin' all the action.
- Hey, pinhead. Why don't you
go find your own party?
842
00:55:53,851 --> 00:55:56,854
- Why don't you spread the wealth, pal?
- Here. Why don't you go
buy yourself a neck?
843
00:55:56,854 --> 00:56:00,847
Hey, Mr. Clean!
844
00:56:02,860 --> 00:56:04,862
- Man! Call NASA!
- Get over there.
845
00:56:04,862 --> 00:56:06,864
- They'll confirm it! We're astronauts!
- Yeah, yeah.
846
00:56:06,864 --> 00:56:08,866
- Yeah, we're astronauts.
- Yeah, we're all astronauts.
847
00:56:08,866 --> 00:56:11,869
You are so messing with national
security right now, man.
848
00:56:11,869 --> 00:56:13,871
- Turn around.
- You are fired tomorrow morning.
849
00:56:13,871 --> 00:56:16,874
I'm telling ya.
I'll get the CIA and the FBI.
850
00:56:16,874 --> 00:56:20,878
- You'll be working security at Toys'R'Us.
Oh, oh, baby. No, no. No, no!
- Bye-bye, little astronaut.
851
00:56:20,878 --> 00:56:21,879
- Oh, it's time to go now.
- Oh, don't leave, baby. No, no.
852
00:56:21,879 --> 00:56:25,872
- You see, I'm goin' into space,
and I'm not comin' back.
- No, no, no.
853
00:56:28,886 --> 00:56:32,890
- It's coming in at 30,000 miles an hour!
- Give me a projected impact.
854
00:56:32,890 --> 00:56:35,893
- East Asia, 11 minutes.
- We're gonna have to warn...
855
00:56:35,893 --> 00:56:39,886
Warn who?
The entire South Pacific?
856
00:57:29,947 --> 00:57:33,940
So the whole world knows.
857
00:57:34,952 --> 00:57:38,956
Tell me you've never let
anybody down before.
858
00:57:38,956 --> 00:57:41,959
I never quit yet.
How's that?
859
00:57:41,959 --> 00:57:44,962
I guess that'll have to do.
860
00:57:44,962 --> 00:57:47,965
You know somethin'?
861
00:57:47,965 --> 00:57:49,967
I still remember the first,
middle and last name...
862
00:57:49,967 --> 00:57:53,971
of every guy that qualified
for the astronaut program
the first year I was here.
863
00:57:53,971 --> 00:57:57,975
Thanks. I went
into the engineering program.
864
00:57:57,975 --> 00:58:01,979
Kinda had to.
But, boy, I wanted to go up there.
865
00:58:01,979 --> 00:58:05,972
I wanted to be one of those guys
with a mission patch on my arm.
866
00:58:07,985 --> 00:58:11,978
I tell you, I'd be on that shuttle
with you, Harry, if I could.
867
00:58:13,991 --> 00:58:17,984
You don't want to be up in that shuttle
any more than I do.
868
00:58:19,997 --> 00:58:21,999
Well, good luck in Florida tomorrow.
869
00:58:21,999 --> 00:58:26,003
The death of 50,000 people
in Shanghai yesterday
has rattled the na...
870
00:58:26,003 --> 00:58:29,006
A French satellite has tracked
an object in space...
871
00:58:29,006 --> 00:58:32,009
Sources are estimating
that the tidal wave was five...
872
00:58:32,009 --> 00:58:34,011
This is CNN, live in Florida.
873
00:58:34,011 --> 00:58:37,014
We have just learned that NASA
is on a full-scale military alert.
874
00:58:37,014 --> 00:58:40,017
They're calling this
a global killer.
875
00:58:40,017 --> 00:58:42,019
The government has been
very tight-lipped throughout this...
876
00:58:42,019 --> 00:58:44,021
The Pentagon is getting involved
at this point with some kind...
877
00:58:44,021 --> 00:58:48,025
of a project involving NASA
and perhaps a shuttle mission...
878
00:58:48,025 --> 00:58:50,027
Senior Pentagon officials
refused comment...
879
00:58:50,027 --> 00:58:54,020
adding fuel to the speculation that
there could be a very serious problem.
880
00:58:55,032 --> 00:58:59,036
We have a special team of astronauts
that arrived in Florida this evening.
881
00:58:59,036 --> 00:59:01,038
NASA's in emergency launch
preparation...
882
00:59:01,038 --> 00:59:04,041
in cooperation with Russian, Japanese
and French space agencies...
883
00:59:04,041 --> 00:59:08,034
on the most massive
joint space venture in history.
884
00:59:16,053 --> 00:59:20,046
Gracie?
885
00:59:27,064 --> 00:59:30,067
Got your note.
886
00:59:30,067 --> 00:59:34,071
- What are you doing out here, honey?
- Um, just thinkin'.
887
00:59:34,071 --> 00:59:37,074
- Yeah.
- I, um, want to apologize to you for...
888
00:59:37,074 --> 00:59:40,077
Oh, no, Grace. Stop.
You don't have to apologize at all. I...
889
00:59:40,077 --> 00:59:44,081
I sh...
890
00:59:44,081 --> 00:59:48,074
I shouldn't have dragged you around
on all those oil rigs. I just...
891
00:59:49,086 --> 00:59:52,089
I don't think that I did
the right thing with you.
892
00:59:52,089 --> 00:59:53,090
- You're wrong.
893
00:59:53,090 --> 00:59:55,092
I love my life.
894
00:59:55,092 --> 00:59:57,094
I love everything
about my life...
895
00:59:57,094 --> 01:00:01,087
and I don't blame you
for my mother leaving.
896
01:00:03,100 --> 01:00:06,103
She left us both.
897
01:00:06,103 --> 01:00:08,105
And-And I love you.
898
01:00:08,105 --> 01:00:12,098
And don't talk
like you're not comin' back.
899
01:00:13,110 --> 01:00:16,113
Promise me that you'll come back.
900
01:00:16,113 --> 01:00:20,106
- Okay.
- Say, "I promise."
901
01:00:21,118 --> 01:00:25,111
I promise, Grace.
902
01:00:26,123 --> 01:00:30,116
It's gonna be all right, Grace.
903
01:00:33,130 --> 01:00:37,123
If it's not too much trouble, can you
please bring my fianc� home with you?
904
01:00:38,135 --> 01:00:42,128
Oh, Jesus.
905
01:00:50,147 --> 01:00:52,149
The president will be
addressing the nation...
906
01:00:52,149 --> 01:00:56,142
and all of you personally
within the hour.
907
01:01:22,179 --> 01:01:26,172
Astronauts.
908
01:01:31,188 --> 01:01:35,181
I'll see you
in a couple days, honey.
909
01:01:39,196 --> 01:01:43,200
All my bags are packed
910
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,203
I'm ready to go
911
01:01:46,203 --> 01:01:50,207
I'm standing here
outside your door
912
01:01:50,207 --> 01:01:53,210
I hate to wake you up
913
01:01:53,210 --> 01:01:56,213
To say good-bye
914
01:01:56,213 --> 01:02:00,217
So kiss me and smile for me
915
01:02:00,217 --> 01:02:03,220
Let me know you'll wait for me
916
01:02:03,220 --> 01:02:07,213
Hold me like
you'll never let me go
917
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:11,228
'Cause I'm leavin'
918
01:02:11,228 --> 01:02:14,231
On a jet plane
919
01:02:14,231 --> 01:02:16,233
Don't know
when I'll be back again
920
01:02:16,233 --> 01:02:20,226
Leavin' on a jet plane
921
01:02:21,238 --> 01:02:24,241
I don't know
when I'll be back again
922
01:02:24,241 --> 01:02:28,245
- Leavin' on a jet plane
- Leavin' on a jet plane
923
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:31,248
I don't know
when I'll be back again
924
01:02:31,248 --> 01:02:35,241
- Leavin' on a jet plane
- So, Truman this is who you found
to save the planet.
925
01:02:37,254 --> 01:02:39,256
- Don't know when I'll be back again
- Frost, you good to go?
926
01:02:39,256 --> 01:02:42,259
- Mm-hmm. One-One sec.
- Leavin'on a jet plane
- That boy don't take anything seriously.
927
01:02:42,259 --> 01:02:46,263
- Yeah. Reminds me of
a guy I used to know.
- Don't know when I'll be back again
928
01:02:46,263 --> 01:02:50,267
Leavin' on a jet plane
929
01:02:50,267 --> 01:02:53,270
- I don't know when I'll be back again
- I'm marrying you.
930
01:02:53,270 --> 01:02:57,274
- Bet your ass you are.
- Leavin' on a jet plane
931
01:02:57,274 --> 01:03:01,267
I don't know
when I'll be back again
932
01:03:15,292 --> 01:03:18,295
I address you tonight...
933
01:03:18,295 --> 01:03:22,299
not as the president
of the United States...
934
01:03:22,299 --> 01:03:25,302
not as the leader of a country...
935
01:03:25,302 --> 01:03:29,295
but as a citizen of humanity.
936
01:03:30,307 --> 01:03:34,300
We are faced with the very gravest
of challenges.
937
01:03:35,312 --> 01:03:39,305
The Bible calls this day Armageddon,
the end of all things.
938
01:03:41,318 --> 01:03:45,311
And yet,
for the first time...
939
01:03:46,323 --> 01:03:50,316
in the history of the planet,
a species has the technology...
940
01:03:51,328 --> 01:03:54,331
to prevent its own extinction.
941
01:03:54,331 --> 01:03:58,335
All of you praying with us
need to know...
942
01:03:58,335 --> 01:04:02,328
that everything that can be done
to prevent this disaster...
943
01:04:03,340 --> 01:04:07,333
is being called into service.
944
01:04:08,345 --> 01:04:12,349
The human thirst for excellence...
945
01:04:12,349 --> 01:04:15,352
and knowledge...
946
01:04:15,352 --> 01:04:19,356
every step
up the ladder of science...
947
01:04:19,356 --> 01:04:23,360
every adventurous
reach into space...
948
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:27,353
all of our combined
modern technologies and imaginations...
949
01:04:28,365 --> 01:04:32,369
even the wars that we've fought,
have provided us the tools...
950
01:04:32,369 --> 01:04:35,372
to wage this terrible battle.
951
01:04:35,372 --> 01:04:38,375
Through all the chaos
that is our history...
952
01:04:38,375 --> 01:04:41,378
through all of the wrongs
and the discord...
953
01:04:41,378 --> 01:04:43,380
through all of the pain
and suffering...
954
01:04:43,380 --> 01:04:47,373
through all of our times
there is one thing...
955
01:04:48,385 --> 01:04:51,388
- that has nourished our souls...
- Mom, that salesman's on TV.
956
01:04:51,388 --> 01:04:53,390
and elevated our species
above its origins...
957
01:04:53,390 --> 01:04:56,393
and that is our courage.
958
01:04:56,393 --> 01:04:59,396
The dreams of an entire planet
are focused tonight...
959
01:04:59,396 --> 01:05:03,400
on those 14 brave souls...
960
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,402
traveling into the heavens.
961
01:05:05,402 --> 01:05:09,406
That man's not a salesman.
That's your daddy.
962
01:05:09,406 --> 01:05:13,399
And may we all, citizens the world over,
see these events through.
963
01:05:14,411 --> 01:05:18,404
God speed and good luck to you.
964
01:05:25,422 --> 01:05:29,415
Freedom crew.
Independence crew.
965
01:05:33,430 --> 01:05:36,433
- How you feelin'?
- Uh, good, you know.
966
01:05:36,433 --> 01:05:40,426
I mean, considering I've never been this
scared in my entire life. I... You know...
967
01:05:41,438 --> 01:05:44,441
Listen, once you get up there,
you're gonna be on your own.
968
01:05:44,441 --> 01:05:46,443
If anything should happen,
I just wanted...
969
01:05:46,443 --> 01:05:50,436
I know, Harry. I'll, uh,
try not to disappoint you.
970
01:05:54,451 --> 01:05:58,444
Take care of yourself, kid.
971
01:06:01,458 --> 01:06:04,461
Freedom's on the bridge.
972
01:06:04,461 --> 01:06:08,465
Attention in the firing room.
The oxidizer loading is complete.
973
01:06:08,465 --> 01:06:12,469
- Independence on the bridge.
- Attention all personnel.
974
01:06:12,469 --> 01:06:16,462
We are T minus two hours
to the program goal.
975
01:06:24,481 --> 01:06:26,483
- Hey, Harry.
- Yeah, Rock?
976
01:06:26,483 --> 01:06:29,486
You know, we're sittin' on four million
pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon...
977
01:06:29,486 --> 01:06:32,489
and a thing that has
270,000 moving parts...
978
01:06:32,489 --> 01:06:35,492
built by the lowest bidder.
979
01:06:35,492 --> 01:06:39,485
- Makes you feel good, doesn't it?
- Yeah.
980
01:06:41,498 --> 01:06:44,501
- How ya doin', Oscar?
- Great.
981
01:06:44,501 --> 01:06:46,503
- Yeah?
- I got that excited, scared feelin'...
982
01:06:46,503 --> 01:06:49,506
like 98% excited, 2% scared.
983
01:06:49,506 --> 01:06:53,510
Maybe it's more. It could be 2... It
could be 98% percent scared, 2% excited.
984
01:06:53,510 --> 01:06:57,503
But that's what makes it
so intense, is it's so confused.
I can't really figure it out.
985
01:06:59,516 --> 01:07:02,519
Will you make mine really tight,
'cause I don't want to fall out.
986
01:07:02,519 --> 01:07:05,522
- Yes, sir.
- I mean, almost to the point
of cutting off circulation.
987
01:07:05,522 --> 01:07:09,526
- Ow.
- It must be a comfort to know...
988
01:07:09,526 --> 01:07:13,530
that if the space program
goes under you can always get a job
at Helga's House of Pain, huh?
989
01:07:13,530 --> 01:07:14,531
All right. Flight directors on...
990
01:07:14,531 --> 01:07:16,533
...with the go/no-go for launch.
- Retro.
991
01:07:16,533 --> 01:07:18,535
- Go flight.
- Booster.
- Go flight.
992
01:07:18,535 --> 01:07:20,537
- Ecos.
- Go flight.
- Trajectory.
- Go flight.
993
01:07:20,537 --> 01:07:23,540
- FIDO.
- Go flight.
- EVA.
- Go flight.
994
01:07:23,540 --> 01:07:27,544
- CAPCOM Freedom.
- Go flight.
- CAPCOM Independence.
- Go flight.
995
01:07:27,544 --> 01:07:30,547
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
it's pucker time.
996
01:07:30,547 --> 01:07:34,540
Independence and Freedom,
this is Kennedy firing room.
We're T minus one minute.
997
01:07:35,552 --> 01:07:38,555
All crew members,
close and lock your visors.
998
01:07:38,555 --> 01:07:42,559
Independence, this is launch control.
Be advised, we're in a smooth count.
999
01:07:42,559 --> 01:07:45,562
T minus 31. You're go
for auto-sequence start.
1000
01:07:45,562 --> 01:07:48,565
B.L.T.s, perform
your A.D.U. pre-start.
1001
01:07:48,565 --> 01:07:52,558
Okay, gentlemen, you're our warriors
up there. God be with you.
1002
01:07:53,570 --> 01:07:57,563
- You're already heroes.
Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
- F.T.D., we're clear to launch.
1003
01:07:58,575 --> 01:08:02,568
We're T minus 20 seconds.
1004
01:08:03,580 --> 01:08:07,573
Ten, nine, eight, seven...
1005
01:08:08,585 --> 01:08:11,588
four, three, two, one.
1006
01:08:11,588 --> 01:08:15,581
We have main engine start.
1007
01:08:16,593 --> 01:08:20,597
- We have booster ignition.
- We're going.
1008
01:08:20,597 --> 01:08:24,590
And lift off.
1009
01:08:30,607 --> 01:08:34,611
Freedom, this is flight deck.
1010
01:08:34,611 --> 01:08:38,604
Roger, Freedom.
You're looking good.
1011
01:08:49,626 --> 01:08:53,630
- We have go for Independence.
- Three, two, one.
1012
01:08:53,630 --> 01:08:57,623
- Independence, we have booster ignition.
- We have lift off.
1013
01:08:58,635 --> 01:09:02,628
We are cooking, Houston.
1014
01:09:22,659 --> 01:09:26,652
Houston, the tower is clear.
They're all yours.
1015
01:09:28,665 --> 01:09:31,668
- Heads up, everybody. They're ours now.
- All engines are go.
1016
01:09:31,668 --> 01:09:35,661
Keep a sharp eye out on both of'em.
1017
01:09:40,677 --> 01:09:44,670
Start roll maneuver.
1018
01:09:53,690 --> 01:09:56,693
- Two good roll programs.
- One down.
- Independence,we have a max cue.
1019
01:09:56,693 --> 01:10:00,697
Roger, Control.
We are a max cue.
1020
01:10:00,697 --> 01:10:04,690
S.R.B. sep...
1021
01:10:07,704 --> 01:10:10,707
- We are single-engine, press, demi-go.
- Copy, press, demi-go.
1022
01:10:10,707 --> 01:10:14,700
Houston, this is a kick-ass ride!
1023
01:10:19,716 --> 01:10:23,709
Freedom, this is Houston.
Main engine cut out on schedule. Out.
1024
01:10:31,728 --> 01:10:35,721
Freedom, stats are good.
1025
01:10:38,735 --> 01:10:41,738
- Independence,
telemetry is up and running...
- Oh, my God!
1026
01:10:41,738 --> 01:10:45,742
This is space! 'Course, we're just
in the beginning part of space.
1027
01:10:45,742 --> 01:10:47,744
We-We haven't even gotten
to outer space yet.
1028
01:10:47,744 --> 01:10:51,737
Roger, Houston.
We have a visual on the Russian
space station. Initiating retro burn.
1029
01:10:53,750 --> 01:10:57,754
Gentlemen, remember the Russian space
station has been up there for 11 years.
1030
01:10:57,754 --> 01:10:59,756
Most of us
don't have cars that old.
1031
01:10:59,756 --> 01:11:03,749
Now, the cosmonaut on board has been
on that tin can for 18 months, alone.
1032
01:11:06,763 --> 01:11:09,766
So don't be surprised
if he's a little off.
1033
01:11:09,766 --> 01:11:13,759
- Independence, we're gonna put you...
- All right, crew.
Let's exit these flight suits.
1034
01:11:15,772 --> 01:11:19,765
Hello. This is Russian
space station. Can you hear me?
1035
01:11:21,778 --> 01:11:23,780
We copy, Russian space station.
This is Houston.
1036
01:11:23,780 --> 01:11:27,784
I'm ready to fire
my thrusters any time.
1037
01:11:27,784 --> 01:11:30,787
- Stand by.
- Okay. I'm not going anywhere.
1038
01:11:30,787 --> 01:11:34,780
We have a go.
Initiate gravitational spin.
1039
01:11:40,797 --> 01:11:44,790
You are maxed at 40% spin.
1040
01:11:45,802 --> 01:11:48,805
Okay, Houston.
1041
01:11:48,805 --> 01:11:52,809
I can feel I'm having gravity.
1042
01:11:52,809 --> 01:11:55,812
All right, gentlemen.
We're gonna dock in a minute.
1043
01:11:55,812 --> 01:11:59,805
Now, the Russian space station has
fired her rockets to simulate gravity
and let us work faster.
1044
01:12:00,817 --> 01:12:02,819
But it's gonna make you queasy,
so prepare yourself.
1045
01:12:02,819 --> 01:12:06,812
Well, it's about time.
I haven't thrown up in about an hour.
1046
01:12:10,827 --> 01:12:13,830
Initiating first phase
of docking procedure.
1047
01:12:13,830 --> 01:12:17,823
- Switching to manual.
- Manual override.
1048
01:12:22,839 --> 01:12:26,832
One foot per second.
Let's take this slow and
do it right, folks. Twenty feet.
1049
01:12:30,847 --> 01:12:34,851
Ten feet. Looking good on radar.
1050
01:12:34,851 --> 01:12:38,844
Five feet.
1051
01:12:39,856 --> 01:12:43,849
Locks are engaged.
Fuel teams, let's go.
1052
01:12:44,861 --> 01:12:47,864
Freedom, telemetry is looking good.
1053
01:12:47,864 --> 01:12:51,857
- We have soft dock.
- Fuel teams, prepare to unload.
1054
01:12:56,873 --> 01:13:00,866
All right, gentlemen, watch your heads.
Let's go, Independence.
1055
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:07,873
Colonel.
1056
01:13:15,892 --> 01:13:18,895
Where is he? Anybody home?
1057
01:13:18,895 --> 01:13:22,888
Welcome, everybody!
1058
01:13:23,900 --> 01:13:27,904
I am not gas station.
This is sophisticated laboratory.
1059
01:13:27,904 --> 01:13:31,908
I'm in charge.
So do not be touching anything.
1060
01:13:31,908 --> 01:13:33,910
I need one... I need you.
1061
01:13:33,910 --> 01:13:36,913
- Go with him.
- I need you. Hurry up.
Hurry up. Come on. Come on.
1062
01:13:36,913 --> 01:13:40,906
It's very important you watch the
fuel gauge, okay? Put on cold suit.
1063
01:13:41,918 --> 01:13:44,921
- Countdown clock will hold at...
- Copy that, Houston.
Prepping for fuel transfer.
1064
01:13:44,921 --> 01:13:47,924
Countdown clock will hold
at T minus 20 minutes and...
1065
01:13:47,924 --> 01:13:51,917
- Fuel pod is down there.
- It's down here, huh? Great.
1066
01:13:53,930 --> 01:13:56,933
Let's go. Move it on.
Here we go. We go. We go.
1067
01:13:56,933 --> 01:14:00,926
Bring it down. Bring it down.
1068
01:14:02,939 --> 01:14:06,943
Okay, let's connect
these fuel lines.
1069
01:14:06,943 --> 01:14:10,947
Freedomon the left,
Independenceon the right.
1070
01:14:10,947 --> 01:14:14,951
All right. We're goin' left here.
1071
01:14:14,951 --> 01:14:18,955
To the right is fuel gauge.
You watch the fuel gauge. 150, okay.
1072
01:14:18,955 --> 01:14:22,948
160, okay. 200, bad disaster
for space station.
1073
01:14:24,961 --> 01:14:28,954
So if you watch 200,
you can call for Lev, on,
and you see here number one, on.
1074
01:14:29,966 --> 01:14:32,969
You ask for Lev. And you pull
this down, all the way down.
1075
01:14:32,969 --> 01:14:36,962
- What's Lev?
- I am Lev Andropov,
colonel of Russian space agency.
1076
01:14:37,974 --> 01:14:41,978
In Russia I'm a very big man.
1077
01:14:41,978 --> 01:14:45,971
- We're ready to transfer.
- I'm coming. No problem.
1078
01:14:46,983 --> 01:14:50,987
You. You. You there!
1079
01:14:50,987 --> 01:14:54,980
- Hard locked.
- Ready for transfusion!
1080
01:15:01,998 --> 01:15:05,991
Fuel is pumping.
1081
01:15:08,004 --> 01:15:12,008
- Hey, Lev, the, uh,
the-the pressure's climbing.
- Is there a problem here?
1082
01:15:12,008 --> 01:15:14,010
Houston, we're on
fuel transference.
1083
01:15:14,010 --> 01:15:18,003
Don't touch my uncle. You know?
He's a genius of my family.
1084
01:15:20,016 --> 01:15:24,020
Lev! Can anybody hear me?
Guys? Hello, guys.
1085
01:15:24,020 --> 01:15:26,022
He used to work
for a big bomb factory.
1086
01:15:26,022 --> 01:15:30,015
He used to make the tip of the bomb,
the thing that finds, uh...
1087
01:15:31,027 --> 01:15:33,029
New York or Washington, you know?
1088
01:15:33,029 --> 01:15:37,033
- Ooh.
- Check your hoses.
We got some thermal variation.
1089
01:15:37,033 --> 01:15:41,026
Stamper, let's look at the couplings
back on the shuttle.
1090
01:15:42,038 --> 01:15:46,031
Okay. Shut down. Uh...
1091
01:15:52,048 --> 01:15:56,041
- Guys!
- Hold on a second.
- What's that noise?
1092
01:15:57,053 --> 01:16:01,046
Oh, no! God!
1093
01:16:02,058 --> 01:16:06,051
- What is it?
- Leak! Leak! Leak!
1094
01:16:08,064 --> 01:16:12,068
Get your men
back to the shuttle! Go!
1095
01:16:12,068 --> 01:16:16,072
Go on! Hurry up!
Get out of there!
1096
01:16:16,072 --> 01:16:18,074
You know, this really smokes!
1097
01:16:18,074 --> 01:16:22,078
- Pull lever!
- This is the lever!
1098
01:16:22,078 --> 01:16:26,071
- Colonel, we must get him out of there!
- A.J., come on out!
1099
01:16:29,085 --> 01:16:33,078
Hurry! Hurry!
1100
01:16:34,090 --> 01:16:36,092
Emergency! Break away!
1101
01:16:36,092 --> 01:16:40,085
We gota fire
in the fuel pod!
1102
01:16:42,098 --> 01:16:46,091
- Come on!
- Come on! Get in here!
A.J.'s stuck in the fuel pod!
1103
01:16:48,104 --> 01:16:52,097
- We're losing it!
- Come on out of there!
1104
01:17:01,117 --> 01:17:05,110
Control, this is Independence.
I am seeing vibration...
1105
01:17:07,123 --> 01:17:10,126
- Malloy, talk to me!
- Not good. We got sparks
and fire in the fuel pod.
1106
01:17:10,126 --> 01:17:14,130
- Independence, blow those locks
and get outta there now!
- Dump the hoses now! We're going!
1107
01:17:14,130 --> 01:17:18,134
- What happened?
Let me shut off the O2 feed!
- Harry, it's burnin' up!
1108
01:17:18,134 --> 01:17:22,127
Damn! Max, Rock, get in here! Get down
there and crack these pipes over here!
1109
01:17:23,139 --> 01:17:27,143
- Harry, no! It's burnin' up!
- We're goin' back for the other team!
1110
01:17:27,143 --> 01:17:30,146
Switch on the personnel locators.
1111
01:17:30,146 --> 01:17:32,148
Trackin' A.J. He's climbin'.
1112
01:17:32,148 --> 01:17:35,151
- No!
- Go! Go!
1113
01:17:35,151 --> 01:17:39,155
It's too late! Get back to the shuttle!
This thing's gonna blow!
1114
01:17:39,155 --> 01:17:41,157
No!
1115
01:17:41,157 --> 01:17:45,150
Colonel, we gotta move now!
Come on! You're gonna die!
1116
01:17:47,163 --> 01:17:49,165
- Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
We got a man in there!
- Open that door and we'll all die!
1117
01:17:49,165 --> 01:17:53,158
- Fuel leak!
- Get out of there!
1118
01:17:54,170 --> 01:17:58,163
Evac now! Let's go! Let's go!
1119
01:17:59,175 --> 01:18:03,168
Come on back!
No, wait! The door is broken!
1120
01:18:04,180 --> 01:18:07,183
- No!
- They got the fire
sealed in the fuel pod.
1121
01:18:07,183 --> 01:18:09,185
- They locked it down.
- Tracking 'em back to the shuttle.
1122
01:18:09,185 --> 01:18:12,188
They've still got two men
trapped in there!
1123
01:18:12,188 --> 01:18:16,181
Keep running! The shuttle's another
75 feet! Where's the rest of the team?
1124
01:18:17,193 --> 01:18:20,196
- Let's get out of here! The pod...
- Wait, wait, wait! Where's A.J.?
- A.J.'s gone!
1125
01:18:20,196 --> 01:18:24,189
- We're not leavin' without A.J.!
- He's gone! It's too late!
1126
01:18:25,201 --> 01:18:28,204
Come on!
This way is our only chance!
1127
01:18:28,204 --> 01:18:31,207
So it's minus 100!
1128
01:18:31,207 --> 01:18:35,200
Very cold. Hold breath,
or lung freezes!
1129
01:18:39,215 --> 01:18:43,208
Get back to the shuttle!
And lock that door!
1130
01:18:44,220 --> 01:18:48,224
- Come on!
- Hurry, A.J.!
- Leave him alone! Leave him alone!
1131
01:18:48,224 --> 01:18:51,227
- I tried! I tried. But A.J...
- It's on fire! It's on fire, Harry!
1132
01:18:51,227 --> 01:18:55,227
- It's them or all of us!
- It's on fire!
