00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,630
- [Reporter] With president Helen Colton

8
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:24,740
arriving for the G7 Summit in Brussels,

9
00:02:24,740 --> 00:02:26,030
the crisis in the Ukraine

10
00:02:26,030 --> 00:02:27,680
will be the main issue discussed.

11
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:30,570
The other six leaders taking part

12
00:02:30,570 --> 00:02:32,750
will also address issues on trade security

13
00:02:32,750 --> 00:02:34,340
and climate change.

14
00:02:34,340 --> 00:02:35,970
This will be the first G7 Summit

15
00:02:35,970 --> 00:02:37,800
hosted by the European Union.

16
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,890
Originally, a G8 Summit was to take place

17
00:02:39,890 --> 00:02:42,870
in Sochi, Russia, but
with that nation's invasion

18
00:02:42,870 --> 00:02:45,160
and annexation of the
Crimea in Ukraine,

19
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,560
the decision was made to
expel Russia from this summit

20
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,280
and move it to Brussels.

21
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,380
With Russia, President Colton must manage

22
00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:52,940
this diplomatic falling out

23
00:02:52,940 --> 00:02:55,600
as the United States relies
on Russia's space program

24
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,350
to ferry astronauts to the
International Space Station.

25
00:02:59,981 --> 00:03:01,599
(door opening)

26
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:02,487
(footsteps thumping)

27
00:03:02,487 --> 00:03:03,590
- [President Colton] Do we have any idea what he wants?

28
00:03:03,590 --> 00:03:07,010
- [Elisabeth] No. Just wanted, more
like demanded a meeting.

29
00:03:07,010 --> 00:03:09,307
- And he flew from Colorado to Brussels?

30
00:03:09,307 --> 00:03:10,657
- Well, it must be important.

31
00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:12,853
- Bill?

32
00:03:12,853 --> 00:03:13,686
- Yes, Madam President.

33
00:03:13,686 --> 00:03:14,950
- I need a moment.

34
00:03:14,950 --> 00:03:17,533
(upbeat music)

35
00:03:21,010 --> 00:03:22,780
- [Major Sampson] You want to start with this one, sir?

36
00:03:22,780 --> 00:03:25,030
- [General Reager] Yes. And the rest can
follow in this order.

37
00:03:26,140 --> 00:03:27,410
- Coffee, Major?

38
00:03:27,410 --> 00:03:30,056
- Oh no. Thank you,
sir. I am fully leaded.

39
00:03:30,056 --> 00:03:32,410
(papers flipping)

40
00:03:32,410 --> 00:03:35,123
Sir, do you think she'll believe us?

41
00:03:36,441 --> 00:03:39,097
- Believe? Well, that's a good question.

42
00:03:39,097 --> 00:03:43,271
But no matter what she believes
it won't change the facts.

43
00:03:43,271 --> 00:03:44,610
Have you met the president?

44
00:03:44,610 --> 00:03:45,670
- No, sir. I haven't.

45
00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:47,580
I almost did when she
came to inspect Vandenberg

46
00:03:47,580 --> 00:03:48,850
last month.

47
00:03:48,850 --> 00:03:52,410
- Ah yes. Her surprise base inspections.

48
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,430
They aren't going as well as you'd think

49
00:03:54,430 --> 00:03:55,350
- Sir?

50
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:56,183
- Oh, forget it.

51
00:03:59,430 --> 00:04:00,970
Just a word of advice.

52
00:04:00,970 --> 00:04:03,110
Colton uses Seward as a Pit Bull.

53
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:05,290
If she asks you a direct question,

54
00:04:05,290 --> 00:04:07,400
you give her a complete answer.

55
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,610
The last thing you wanna do

56
00:04:08,610 --> 00:04:10,110
is get into a debate with her.

57
00:04:10,110 --> 00:04:11,220
Trust me.

58
00:04:11,220 --> 00:04:12,150
- Understood, sir.

59
00:04:12,150 --> 00:04:13,297
Well, anyone else-

60
00:04:13,297 --> 00:04:14,990
(door opening)

61
00:04:14,990 --> 00:04:17,538
- Excuse me. Who are you?

62
00:04:17,538 --> 00:04:18,371
(door shutting)

63
00:04:18,371 --> 00:04:22,290
- [Cedric Yonah] You must be General
Reager and Major Sampson.

64
00:04:22,290 --> 00:04:23,910
- This is a closed door meeting.

65
00:04:23,910 --> 00:04:26,210
- Yes. The door is closed.

66
00:04:26,210 --> 00:04:29,070
I'm Cedric Yonah and
this is James Griffin.

67
00:04:29,070 --> 00:04:33,300
- Well, excuse me, Mr. Yonah,
what is your purpose here?

68
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,170
- General, when I was
advised at this meeting,

69
00:04:35,170 --> 00:04:37,410
my colleague and I were asked to attend.

70
00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:39,140
- And who was that?

71
00:04:39,140 --> 00:04:39,973
- Who was, what?

72
00:04:39,973 --> 00:04:42,120
- Who asked you to attend?

73
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,560
- General, Major, let's no
get off on the wrong foot,

74
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,637
shall we?

75
00:04:46,637 --> 00:04:48,580
You know as well as I, that on occasion,

76
00:04:48,580 --> 00:04:50,943
outside experts are called in to assist.

77
00:04:52,825 --> 00:04:55,408
(door opening)

78
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:58,426
- Madam President.

79
00:04:58,426 --> 00:04:59,510
(door shutting)

80
00:04:59,510 --> 00:05:02,020
- General Reager, I haven't seen you

81
00:05:02,020 --> 00:05:03,950
since that Navstar
launch of Cape Canaveral.

82
00:05:03,950 --> 00:05:05,060
How's the Directorate?

83
00:05:05,060 --> 00:05:08,310
- As always, Madam President, 100%.

84
00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:10,940
Oh, I'd like you to meet
Major Ellen Sampson.

85
00:05:10,940 --> 00:05:12,320
- Ah, Major Sampson, a pleasure.

86
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,477
- Likewise, Madam President.

87
00:05:13,477 --> 00:05:14,760
- And where were you stationed?

88
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,830
- Space and Missile Systems, El Segundo.

89
00:05:16,830 --> 00:05:18,810
- Ah, I should figure when old
John here called a meeting,

90
00:05:18,810 --> 00:05:20,340
that space would factor into it.

91
00:05:20,340 --> 00:05:21,173
Welcome.

92
00:05:21,173 --> 00:05:22,513
- Thank you, Madam President.

93
00:05:22,513 --> 00:05:24,210
- Forgive me Madam President,

94
00:05:24,210 --> 00:05:27,050
but I thought this was going
to be a closed meeting.

95
00:05:27,050 --> 00:05:30,640
- Oh, my dear General, you know
my policy, always a witness

96
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,230
or in this case, an expert or two.

97
00:05:33,230 --> 00:05:34,760
And of course, you both
know Elisabeth Seward,

98
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,740
my National Security Advisor.

99
00:05:36,740 --> 00:05:37,573
- Elisabeth.

100
00:05:37,573 --> 00:05:38,406
- Ma'am.

101
00:05:38,406 --> 00:05:39,790
- General, Major.

102
00:05:39,790 --> 00:05:42,390
Elisabeth, perhaps you could
introduce our other two guests,

103
00:05:42,390 --> 00:05:43,223
although it looked like

104
00:05:43,223 --> 00:05:45,960
you were all exchanging
pleasantries when we walked in.

105
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,880
- Of a sort.

106
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,620
- General, Major, this is Cedric Yonah,

107
00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:53,050
science attache to the
president and James Griffin,

108
00:05:53,050 --> 00:05:55,890
who was with JPL and now the
Shinar Center of Science.

109
00:05:55,890 --> 00:05:58,090
- Oh yes, the DC think
tank behind the upgrades

110
00:05:58,090 --> 00:06:00,082
to the Deep Space Network.

111
00:06:00,082 --> 00:06:01,360
- The very one, Major.

112
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,780
No point in launching satellites

113
00:06:02,780 --> 00:06:04,350
if we can't communicate with them.

114
00:06:05,288 --> 00:06:06,906
- Agreed.

115
00:06:06,906 --> 00:06:10,989
- Yonah. Yonah, that's
Hebrew for dove, isn't it?

116
00:06:12,253 --> 00:06:13,086
- It is.

117
00:06:14,650 --> 00:06:16,310
- Well, now that we're all introduced,

118
00:06:16,310 --> 00:06:17,780
General, this is your bailiwick.

119
00:06:17,780 --> 00:06:20,010
I can give you just about an hour.

120
00:06:20,010 --> 00:06:21,150
- Thank you, Madam president

121
00:06:21,150 --> 00:06:22,800
if you would all take your seats.

122
00:06:23,706 --> 00:06:26,789
(footsteps thumping)

123
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,417
(soft music)

124
00:06:33,810 --> 00:06:35,410
- That's a pretty old school setup

125
00:06:35,410 --> 00:06:37,550
for this level of briefing.

126
00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:39,180
- Old-school?

127
00:06:39,180 --> 00:06:40,960
A Faraday shield is protecting this room

128
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,800
and the adjacent hallway
from electromagnetic fields.

129
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,970
- Wow. That explains
why the Secret Service

130
00:06:45,970 --> 00:06:49,020
confiscated our cell phones
before we entered the elevator.

131
00:06:49,020 --> 00:06:51,850
But there will be a
record of this meeting.

132
00:06:51,850 --> 00:06:54,580
Simply put, there's a hole
in the president's schedule

133
00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:56,230
because she's here.

134
00:06:56,230 --> 00:06:57,350
How long do you think it will take

135
00:06:57,350 --> 00:07:00,130
before some intrepid reporter
starts asking questions

136
00:07:00,130 --> 00:07:02,820
that I'm just gonna guess
you don't want answered.

137
00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:04,950
- Ma'am the answer is simple.

138
00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:06,620
The Commander of Air Force Space Command

139
00:07:06,620 --> 00:07:09,220
requested an emergency
meeting with the president

140
00:07:10,137 --> 00:07:11,320
- And as Commander,

141
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,350
I must protest the presence
of these two civilians.

142
00:07:14,350 --> 00:07:15,760
They're not part of my command.

143
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,324
- No. They're part of mine.
Shall we get on with it?

144
00:07:20,324 --> 00:07:21,900
(upbeat music)

145
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:24,373
- Of course, Madam President. Major.

146
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,890
This point in space is
known as Lagrange Point Two.

147
00:07:31,890 --> 00:07:34,920
Just about 1 million miles from Earth.

148
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,230
This is one of five such celestial
points relative to Earth,

149
00:07:39,230 --> 00:07:40,860
but is the Lagrange Point Two

150
00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:43,793
that observes the Earth, Moon and Sun.

151
00:07:44,970 --> 00:07:47,280
They're called parking places in space

152
00:07:48,116 --> 00:07:50,120
because the combined gravitational forces

153
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,330
of all three bodies create
a place of equilibrium.

154
00:07:54,330 --> 00:07:56,800
So a satellite can literally park there

155
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,863
and make observations.

156
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,080
- Madam President, when
the James Webb Telescope

157
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,093
launches in 2019, it'll
be parked at this point.

158
00:08:05,950 --> 00:08:07,233
Sorry, General.

159
00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:10,933
- Please tell me you
didn't request this meeting

160
00:08:10,933 --> 00:08:12,810
to give me a science lesson.

161
00:08:12,810 --> 00:08:15,773
- No, Madam president. Next slide.

162
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,220
You mentioned the Directorate earlier.

163
00:08:21,220 --> 00:08:24,990
As you know, the Directorate
overseas GPS launch, military

164
00:08:24,990 --> 00:08:29,550
and other highly classified communications

165
00:08:29,550 --> 00:08:31,773
for the Department of Defense.

166
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,920
You're looking at a Milstar satellite

167
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,440
in geostationary orbit.

168
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,423
And that orbit is about
24,000 miles from earth.

169
00:08:42,300 --> 00:08:44,120
As you may know, Madam President,

170
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,280
we have five of these military
communication satellites

171
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,113
in orbit.

172
00:08:49,790 --> 00:08:54,790
On August 15 last year, this
satellite intercepted a signal

173
00:08:55,210 --> 00:08:57,723
that originated from Lagrange Point Two.

174
00:08:59,030 --> 00:09:01,660
At first, our concern was
that someone was trying

175
00:09:01,660 --> 00:09:02,733
to hack into Milstar,

176
00:09:04,020 --> 00:09:07,585
but at the time that
didn't seem to be the case.

177
00:09:07,585 --> 00:09:08,660
- Why is that?

178
00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:13,320
- The only satellite operating in LG2

179
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,253
is a European Space Agency
space observatory called, Gaia.

180
00:09:18,260 --> 00:09:21,647
And it's not configured to
communicate with Milstar.

181
00:09:22,508 --> 00:09:24,008
- Then what was it?

182
00:09:25,885 --> 00:09:27,360
- Another satellite.

183
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,777
(soft music)

184
00:09:32,597 --> 00:09:35,200
- But you just said that the
only one operating there was...

185
00:09:36,165 --> 00:09:37,260
- Gaia.

186
00:09:37,260 --> 00:09:38,110
- Yes. Thank you.

187
00:09:39,050 --> 00:09:41,140
- Who intercepted the signal?

188
00:09:41,140 --> 00:09:41,973
- My unit did

189
00:09:42,950 --> 00:09:45,190
- Sure. It wasn't an Earth-based
signal that reflected

190
00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:47,270
off some piece of space debris?

191
00:09:47,270 --> 00:09:48,360
- Positive.

192
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,070
- Major, science isn't about positives.

193
00:09:51,070 --> 00:09:54,800
It's about a probable set of
conclusions based on facts.

194
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,760
- Emissions from a neutron star?

195
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,420
- Negative.

196
00:09:58,420 --> 00:09:59,253
- Comment?

197
00:10:00,690 --> 00:10:01,523
- Negative.

198
00:10:01,523 --> 00:10:03,560
This signal was in the upper band

199
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:05,830
of the electromagnetic spectrum.

200
00:10:05,830 --> 00:10:06,663
- What part?

201
00:10:06,663 --> 00:10:08,210
X-ray, and before you tell me

202
00:10:08,210 --> 00:10:10,160
it's not possible scientifically,

203
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,380
you know, as well as I,
that NASA has been looking

204
00:10:12,380 --> 00:10:14,420
into X-ray transmissions.

205
00:10:14,420 --> 00:10:15,840
- But it's not NASA.

206
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,240
- No, and it's not the Europeans.

207
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,960
- But this signal could be faked.

208
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,960
- Sure. If there was a
transmitter 900 AUs from Earth,

209
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,130
but considering Voyager 1 is
just over 100 AUs from Earth,

210
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:31,860
I would say it's unlikely.

211
00:10:31,860 --> 00:10:33,570
- Look, this could be Russia, China,

212
00:10:33,570 --> 00:10:34,730
hell, it could be Iran, for all we know.

213
00:10:34,730 --> 00:10:36,910
- Madam President, With all due respect,

214
00:10:36,910 --> 00:10:38,210
there isn't a satellite launch

215
00:10:38,210 --> 00:10:40,763
from this planet that we don't know about.

216
00:10:40,763 --> 00:10:43,180
(soft music)

217
00:11:08,629 --> 00:11:12,150
- General, what exactly
are you trying to tell me?

218
00:11:14,220 --> 00:11:15,053
Madam President,

219
00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:28,400
it was a satellite of
extraterrestrial origin.

220
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,400
(suspenseful music)

221
00:12:10,104 --> 00:12:11,120
- Dear God.

222
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,090
General, how did you get this picture?

223
00:12:13,090 --> 00:12:14,460
- Yes, how did you?

224
00:12:14,460 --> 00:12:16,450
Satellites are next to
impossible to image?

225
00:12:16,450 --> 00:12:18,820
there's virtually no ambient light in space.

226
00:12:18,820 --> 00:12:21,290
- To be frank, we got very lucky.

227
00:12:21,290 --> 00:12:23,640
Major, do we have a slide of the X-37?

228
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,840
- Yes sir. I believe so.

229
00:12:25,808 --> 00:12:26,700
(papers flips)

230
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:27,750
- We're being watched

231
00:12:28,590 --> 00:12:30,510
- [Reager] So it would it seem.

232
00:12:30,510 --> 00:12:32,360
- But by who or what?

233
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,410
- Madam President, if I may,

234
00:12:34,410 --> 00:12:37,720
just bring us all back
to Earth for a moment.

235
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,500
Since the Soviet Union
launched Sputnik in 1957

236
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:42,150
there have been over what?

237
00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:45,230
6,000 satellites launched into space?

238
00:12:45,230 --> 00:12:47,610
This predates the National
Reconnaissance Office

239
00:12:47,610 --> 00:12:50,183
and the Space Surveillance Networks.

240
00:12:50,183 --> 00:12:52,030
I agree with the general
that the United States tracks

241
00:12:52,030 --> 00:12:55,554
all watches from around the
world now, but in the 1960s,

242
00:12:55,554 --> 00:12:57,910
'70s, even '80s,

243
00:12:57,910 --> 00:13:00,423
come on, it wasn't technically
possible back then.

244
00:13:02,270 --> 00:13:03,330
- I had no idea you were such

245
00:13:03,330 --> 00:13:05,380
a historian on space, Elisabeth.

246
00:13:05,380 --> 00:13:08,020
- That's why I'm here. I briefed her.

247
00:13:08,020 --> 00:13:08,853
- Oh, did you?

248
00:13:09,870 --> 00:13:10,703
Interesting.

249
00:13:12,270 --> 00:13:13,103
- Ready, sir.

250
00:13:14,010 --> 00:13:14,960
- Thank you, Major.

251
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,420
Madam President,

252
00:13:17,420 --> 00:13:20,193
you're familiar with the
Boeing X-37 space plane.

253
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:27,450
On the day of discovery,

254
00:13:27,450 --> 00:13:30,233
this plane was on its second test flight.

255
00:13:32,820 --> 00:13:37,820
On my order, I sent the plane to the LG2

256
00:13:38,940 --> 00:13:40,403
where the signal originated,

257
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:44,183
with on-board lights and cameras,

258
00:13:45,740 --> 00:13:48,210
the following images were produced.

259
00:13:48,210 --> 00:13:50,670
- Well, thank you for confirming
the rumored EM drive,

260
00:13:50,670 --> 00:13:51,920
but that still doesn't confirm

261
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,780
that it's extra terrestrial in origin.

262
00:13:53,780 --> 00:13:54,970
- Oh, it does.

263
00:13:54,970 --> 00:13:58,100
When the satellite engages
its engine and leave quickly.

264
00:13:58,100 --> 00:14:00,651
We haven't been able to track it since.

265
00:14:00,651 --> 00:14:02,490
- Then all you have, General is a picture

266
00:14:02,490 --> 00:14:05,798
that could lend itself to
a science fiction story.

267
00:14:05,798 --> 00:14:09,320
- (scoffs) Mr. Science Attache,

268
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,420
in addition to the X-ray
transmission that we have,

269
00:14:12,420 --> 00:14:17,420
the X- 37 also recorded some
very interesting readings.

270
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:18,523
- What kind?

271
00:14:18,523 --> 00:14:20,140
- Propulsion.

272
00:14:20,140 --> 00:14:24,483
Yes, we have an experimental
ION drive on the X-37,

273
00:14:25,490 --> 00:14:29,440
but that pales in comparison
to the anti-gravity drive

274
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,573
on the satellite.

275
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:36,900
So we're no longer in the
world of science fiction,

276
00:14:37,570 --> 00:14:42,400
but fact, and the fact
remains Madam President,

277
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,520
that a satellite of
extra terrestrial origin

278
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,630
was discovered at LG2

279
00:14:47,630 --> 00:14:50,590
with communication and
propulsion technologies

280
00:14:50,590 --> 00:14:53,373
that do not exist on Earth.

281
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,560
- Who else knows about this?

282
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,400
- Aside from those in this room,

283
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,140
only a handful of techs
from Sampson's unit

284
00:15:09,090 --> 00:15:10,263
and Senator Hadrian.

285
00:15:11,570 --> 00:15:16,570
The signal telemetry and
mission records of the X-37

286
00:15:16,710 --> 00:15:19,168
are now controlled by my office.

287
00:15:19,168 --> 00:15:20,930
- You know, if Sorenson
finds out about this

288
00:15:20,930 --> 00:15:23,650
or any of these other
alien disclosure groups

289
00:15:23,650 --> 00:15:25,010
were in of it.

290
00:15:25,010 --> 00:15:25,980
- Sorenson?

291
00:15:25,980 --> 00:15:27,750
- Oh, a political activist that heads up

292
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:29,640
Solar Research Group.

293
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,290
He tried putting pressure on the president

294
00:15:31,290 --> 00:15:33,210
to disclose what she knew about UFOs

295
00:15:33,210 --> 00:15:37,400
or more precisely, the extra
terrestrial presence issue.

296
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,050
- Christ, I need some coffee.

297
00:15:39,050 --> 00:15:40,003
Let's take five.

298
00:15:40,942 --> 00:15:43,525
(upbeat music)

299
00:15:49,290 --> 00:15:51,100
- Government has painted
itself into a real corner

300
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:52,970
with this UFO matter.

301
00:15:52,970 --> 00:15:56,860
Damned if they say something.
Damned if they don't.

302
00:15:56,860 --> 00:15:59,221
They only believe what they see.

303
00:15:59,221 --> 00:16:00,971
- It doesn't matter. It's academic.

304
00:16:02,510 --> 00:16:05,560
- Do you think Reager will
be a help or a hindrance?

305
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,113
- Please, he is a career
military officer on a mission.

306
00:16:10,860 --> 00:16:12,610
Which actually it gives me an idea.

307
00:16:14,430 --> 00:16:17,067
- What's your impression of the president?

308
00:16:19,557 --> 00:16:22,307
- If I dint know any better,
sir, I'd say she's scared.

309
00:16:23,190 --> 00:16:25,543
- Aren't you? Hell, aren't we all?

310
00:16:26,389 --> 00:16:29,470
With all that we know, we should
have seen this one coming.

311
00:16:29,470 --> 00:16:30,927
Keep your eye on Cedric.

312
00:16:33,710 --> 00:16:36,243
- That's not hard sir.
He's keeping them on me.

313
00:16:42,834 --> 00:16:45,620
- If an opportunity
presents itself, take it.

314
00:16:45,620 --> 00:16:47,520
We need to know more about him.

315
00:16:48,967 --> 00:16:51,725
(President Colton sighs loudly)

316
00:16:51,725 --> 00:16:53,393
(coffee pouring)

317
00:16:53,393 --> 00:16:54,430
- I just can't believe this.

318
00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:56,061
- Neither can I.

319
00:16:56,061 --> 00:16:58,420
(President Colton sighs loudly)

320
00:16:58,420 --> 00:16:59,930
- What would your advice be?

321
00:16:59,930 --> 00:17:01,764
- Well, whatever happens,

322
00:17:01,764 --> 00:17:03,770
there's only one thing
you have to remember,

323
00:17:03,770 --> 00:17:05,546
you're the president.

324
00:17:05,546 --> 00:17:07,963
(soft music)

325
00:17:18,180 --> 00:17:21,640
- Madam President, it was
truly an honor to meet you,

326
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:22,890
but I must beg to leave.

327
00:17:22,890 --> 00:17:23,750
I have a flight today.

328
00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:25,150
- Oh, I'm sorry to see you go.

329
00:17:25,150 --> 00:17:27,520
I've enjoyed your commentary on this,

330
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,870
what are we calling it?

331
00:17:28,870 --> 00:17:31,270
Development or discovery?

332
00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:32,370
- Revelation.

333
00:17:32,370 --> 00:17:33,750
- That's as good a word as any.

334
00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:34,990
James, I'd like you to stay in touch

335
00:17:34,990 --> 00:17:36,210
with Elisabeth's office.

336
00:17:36,210 --> 00:17:38,210
I might have some follow-up
questions for you.

337
00:17:38,210 --> 00:17:39,850
- Of course, Madam President.

338
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:42,983
- Leaving in the middle of
a presidential briefing.

339
00:17:44,860 --> 00:17:46,120
- I thought you'd be happy, General.

340
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:48,400
- What could possibly be more important?

341
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,517
- You know the old adage,
ask me no questions,

342
00:17:51,517 --> 00:17:53,750
- And I'll tell you no lies.

343
00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:56,280
- Imagine if we did that in Washington

344
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,290
- Mr. Griffin, I do want to remind you,

345
00:18:00,290 --> 00:18:01,803
this meeting is classified.

346
00:18:04,090 --> 00:18:07,630
- General, you have my word that no one

347
00:18:07,630 --> 00:18:09,163
on this planet will know.

348
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:16,500
Madam President, Madam Advisor, General, Major.

349
00:18:16,830 --> 00:18:18,330
- Safe travels.

350
00:18:18,330 --> 00:18:20,913
(upbeat music)

351
00:18:24,384 --> 00:18:26,967
(door opening)

352
00:18:28,609 --> 00:18:31,095
(door shutting)

353
00:18:31,095 --> 00:18:34,095
(footstep thumping)

354
00:18:36,290 --> 00:18:39,313
- Bill, I need to get to the
field as quickly as possible.

355
00:18:39,313 --> 00:18:40,372
- [Bill] Yes, sir.

356
00:18:40,372 --> 00:18:43,455
(upbeat music)

357
00:18:43,455 --> 00:18:46,538
(footsteps thumping)

358
00:18:55,690 --> 00:18:57,920
- General, forgive the obvious,

359
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,020
you discovered this alleged alien-

360
00:19:00,020 --> 00:19:02,730
- There's nothing alleged about it.

361
00:19:02,730 --> 00:19:05,200
- You don't mind if I finish, do you?

362
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,300
You discovered this
satellite on August 15th,

363
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:11,040
why are we just hearing
about this now on June 4th,

364
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,750
nearly a year after this incident?

365
00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:14,480
- And why brief Senator Hadrian,

366
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,360
the Chairman of the Senate
Committee of Armed Services

367
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:18,673
before the president?

368
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,390
- They make a point, John.

369
00:19:21,390 --> 00:19:23,173
I'd like an answer before you continue.

370
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,720
- To be frank Madam President,

371
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,080
we needed to be certain

372
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,610
there was something to brief you on

373
00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:32,130
and to compartmentalize
the entire operation.

374
00:19:32,130 --> 00:19:33,950
- You mean hide from inquiry?

375
00:19:33,950 --> 00:19:35,913
- I mean keep it from the public.

376
00:19:36,890 --> 00:19:38,340
That's why I went to Hadrian.

377
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,060
Do you think it's a good idea

378
00:19:41,060 --> 00:19:43,290
for the public to know about this?

379
00:19:43,290 --> 00:19:46,993
Do you? They can barely
handle bad weather.

380
00:19:48,450 --> 00:19:52,280
That's the one downside
of a democracy disclosure

381
00:19:53,220 --> 00:19:56,053
for some things that
just can't be disclosed,

382
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,440
and to ensure compliance
with any ridiculous

383
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,053
Freedom of Information Act requests,

384
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,903
the documentation has been
removed from government files.

385
00:20:10,770 --> 00:20:13,030
Call it what you want.

386
00:20:13,030 --> 00:20:16,533
I call it, protecting the
people from themselves.

387
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,683
And before you utter one more word,

388
00:20:21,020 --> 00:20:23,280
the president will agree with me on this.

389
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,370
- He's right, Elisabeth.

390
00:20:27,370 --> 00:20:28,850
There are just some matters of state

391
00:20:28,850 --> 00:20:30,050
that can't be disclosed.

392
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,300
Speaking of disclosure,

393
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:35,620
I'd like to know where Mr.
Griffin went in such a hurry,

394
00:20:35,620 --> 00:20:36,970
given his background

395
00:20:36,970 --> 00:20:39,290
and the subject matter
that we're talking about.

396
00:20:39,290 --> 00:20:41,783
Don't you find it odd
that he left so abruptly?

397
00:20:43,558 --> 00:20:44,870
(helicopter flying)

398
00:20:44,870 --> 00:20:45,703
- Very well.

399
00:20:46,825 --> 00:20:48,750
He went to the European
Space Operations Center

400
00:20:48,750 --> 00:20:49,850
in Darmstadt, Germany.

401
00:20:50,770 --> 00:20:52,590
We want to know if the Gaia observatory

402
00:20:52,590 --> 00:20:53,890
reported anything unusual.

403
00:20:55,580 --> 00:20:56,990
We would've told you Madam President,

404
00:20:56,990 --> 00:20:59,510
but we didn't want any
military interference.

405
00:20:59,510 --> 00:21:01,520
- You're gonna have more than military-

406
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:02,840
- General, I'm satisfied.

407
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,360
Let's all secure from Defcon 3, shall we?

408
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:07,670
- It's a prudent action.

409
00:21:07,670 --> 00:21:09,120
Albeit a bit underhanded.

410
00:21:10,530 --> 00:21:13,880
- So you haven't been able
to track this satellite?

411
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,370
- Not the satellite itself.

412
00:21:15,370 --> 00:21:16,471
- But I thought the satellite-

413
00:21:16,471 --> 00:21:17,804
- Communication.

414
00:21:21,940 --> 00:21:24,420
After we ruled out a hack of Milstar,

415
00:21:24,420 --> 00:21:27,590
we believe it came down to line of sight,

416
00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:30,300
and that our satellite
simply got in the way.

417
00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:33,050
- How did you possibly come
up with that conclusion?

418
00:21:33,050 --> 00:21:36,220
- Our satellites don't communicate
the X-ray transmission.

419
00:21:36,220 --> 00:21:39,070
Our satellite simply
recorded what it received

420
00:21:39,070 --> 00:21:42,110
or more precisely what passed through it.

421
00:21:42,110 --> 00:21:44,300
- But that still doesn't prove
your line of sight theory.

422
00:21:44,300 --> 00:21:46,260
- It doesn't disprove it either.

423
00:21:46,260 --> 00:21:48,630
It's a theory for many deductions.

424
00:21:48,630 --> 00:21:51,350
Fact, no satellite launched from Earth

425
00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:53,590
whether military or civilian communicates

426
00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:55,440
via X-ray transmissions.

427
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,570
Fact, the signal terminated
over the Atlantic Ocean.

428
00:21:59,570 --> 00:22:03,570
Fact, no military or civilian
aircraft, surface ships,

429
00:22:03,570 --> 00:22:05,280
or submarines were anywhere near

430
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,140
the termination of the signal.

431
00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:08,890
So where does that leave us?

432
00:22:08,890 --> 00:22:10,380
- Your tell us, Major.

433
00:22:10,380 --> 00:22:13,250
- You're familiar with Arthur Conan Doyle.

434
00:22:13,250 --> 00:22:14,253
- Of course.

435
00:22:15,460 --> 00:22:17,990
- Once you eliminate the impossible,

436
00:22:17,990 --> 00:22:22,823
what remains no matter how
improbable, must be the truth.

437
00:22:24,490 --> 00:22:25,723
Laugh all you want.

438
00:22:26,570 --> 00:22:29,540
Madam President, we strongly
believe that this satellite

439
00:22:29,540 --> 00:22:31,440
was communicating with something that,

440
00:22:32,470 --> 00:22:34,940
well, something that we just can't see

441
00:22:34,940 --> 00:22:37,250
because the fact remains that a signal

442
00:22:37,250 --> 00:22:39,740
must be received by something.

443
00:22:39,740 --> 00:22:42,500
The fact that we can't
see it does not mean

444
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:43,880
that it doesn't exist.

445
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,530
- Your conclusion is ridiculous.

446
00:22:45,530 --> 00:22:48,540
- Not nearly as ridiculous
as your deliberate dismissal.

447
00:22:48,540 --> 00:22:51,370
You're supposed to be the
National Security Adviser.

448
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:53,870
Aren't you the least bit
concerned about this?

449
00:22:53,870 --> 00:22:56,480
- I'm concerned that Russia,

450
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,310
a member of the United
Nations Security Council

451
00:22:59,310 --> 00:23:02,460
has invaded the Crimea and the
president should be talking

452
00:23:02,460 --> 00:23:03,710
to her allies upstairs

453
00:23:03,710 --> 00:23:07,370
rather than listening to
fantasy downstairs, okay?

454
00:23:07,370 --> 00:23:10,170
I'm concerned that you are
wasting the president's time,

455
00:23:10,170 --> 00:23:11,860
but hey, look, I get it.

456
00:23:11,860 --> 00:23:12,693
You have a picture

457
00:23:12,693 --> 00:23:13,910
and a signal and you think that-

458
00:23:13,910 --> 00:23:15,210
- Major, excuse me.

459
00:23:15,210 --> 00:23:18,010
You are also painfully, aware
that X-ray can originate

460
00:23:18,010 --> 00:23:21,410
from a supernova, other space phenomenon?

461
00:23:21,410 --> 00:23:24,363
- But it does come down
to modulation, doesn't it?

462
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,403
A supernova isn't trying to communicate.

463
00:23:30,460 --> 00:23:32,490
You also know, or maybe you don't,

464
00:23:32,490 --> 00:23:35,740
that NASA has been experimenting
with this technology.

465
00:23:35,740 --> 00:23:38,700
Madam President, if NASA is successful,

466
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:40,900
the result will be high-rates of data

467
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:43,170
transmitted over vast distances of space

468
00:23:43,170 --> 00:23:46,060
and the ability to communicate
with hypersonic vehicles

469
00:23:46,060 --> 00:23:47,960
during atmosphere, free entry.

470
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,040
Mr. Griffith would confirm
all this, but he's, oh yes,

471
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:52,993
he's left for ESOC.

472
00:23:54,810 --> 00:23:58,010
- General, have you decoded
these transmissions?

473
00:23:58,010 --> 00:23:59,180
- This is why it's taken so long

474
00:23:59,180 --> 00:24:01,153
to bring this to your attention.

475
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:03,697
I'll take over, Major.

476
00:24:06,540 --> 00:24:09,220
Madam President, what
I'm about to disclose

477
00:24:09,220 --> 00:24:13,670
has a NATO security classification as CTS,

478
00:24:13,670 --> 00:24:15,683
it's Cosmic Top Secret.

479
00:24:16,810 --> 00:24:18,543
High security rating possible.

480
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,810
Before I continue, I
need your authorization

481
00:24:22,810 --> 00:24:26,750
to declassify this information to him.

482
00:24:26,750 --> 00:24:28,830
- I have more clearance
that you can possibly know.

483
00:24:28,830 --> 00:24:30,296
- Not with me, you don't.

484
00:24:30,296 --> 00:24:31,897
- Madam President, a moment.

485
00:24:35,945 --> 00:24:38,945
(suspenseful music)

486
00:24:41,216 --> 00:24:42,730
Reager knows that Cedric is in this room

487
00:24:42,730 --> 00:24:45,840
he has all necessary
clearances, why ask you?

488
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,710
- He wants to know
where my alliances fall.

489
00:24:47,710 --> 00:24:48,770
He's plotting something.

490
00:24:48,770 --> 00:24:52,336
What, I don't know yet, but
body language speaks volumes.

491
00:24:52,336 --> 00:24:53,169
Reager wants something.

492
00:24:53,169 --> 00:24:55,084
- And Cedric wants to know what.

493
00:24:55,084 --> 00:24:58,670
- We need to find out where this is going.

494
00:24:58,670 --> 00:25:01,961
General, you have my authorization.

495
00:25:01,961 --> 00:25:04,378
(soft music)

496
00:25:06,030 --> 00:25:07,200
- The planet Earth

497
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,620
designated the Blue
Marble during Apollo 17.

498
00:25:11,620 --> 00:25:12,570
Stunning, isn't it?

499
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:15,090
But here's what you have to know

500
00:25:15,090 --> 00:25:16,503
if you plan to land on it.

501
00:25:18,750 --> 00:25:22,543
There are presently over
3,500 satellites in orbit.

502
00:25:23,970 --> 00:25:28,110
We are tracking over 500,000 pieces

503
00:25:28,110 --> 00:25:30,240
of orbital debris.

504
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,133
Now this traffic is traveling
at 17,000 miles per hour.

505
00:25:36,970 --> 00:25:41,090
in Earth's atmosphere, civilian
and military flight tracking

506
00:25:41,090 --> 00:25:42,493
is just as important.

507
00:25:43,410 --> 00:25:48,330
This year alone, there will
be over 100,000 civilian flights

508
00:25:48,330 --> 00:25:50,440
around the world.

509
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,270
The Military, NATO, ESA

510
00:25:54,270 --> 00:25:58,590
and other civilian and commercial
partners have to navigate

511
00:25:58,590 --> 00:26:02,303
this traffic for more
reasons than I can count.

512
00:26:04,270 --> 00:26:07,273
Apparently, so to those
that control this satellite.

513
00:26:08,540 --> 00:26:11,120
- What exactly are you saying, General?

514
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:12,033
- Navigation.

515
00:26:13,290 --> 00:26:15,620
This satellite wasn't
just observing earth.

516
00:26:15,620 --> 00:26:17,440
It was communicating in the same way

517
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,633
that we communicate with
our spacecraft and aircraft.

518
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,060
It wasn't just imagery, either.

519
00:26:24,060 --> 00:26:28,887
Transponder codes for all
civilian and military satellites

520
00:26:28,887 --> 00:26:30,713
and aircraft were recorded.

521
00:26:31,730 --> 00:26:34,093
There were also weather
forecasting models.

522
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,623
We also found what we
believe to be a flight plan,

523
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,403
leaving from the Atlantic
ocean and off the planet.

524
00:26:43,820 --> 00:26:44,703
- A flight plan?

525
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:47,400
- Where did the plan track to?

526
00:26:48,290 --> 00:26:49,340
- That we don't know.

527
00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:52,140
- Something isn't just watching us,

528
00:26:54,190 --> 00:26:55,240
they're already here.

529
00:26:56,271 --> 00:26:57,530
(suspenseful music)

530
00:26:57,530 --> 00:26:58,363
- Precisely.

531
00:26:59,820 --> 00:27:01,728
- It's curious, isn't it?

532
00:27:01,728 --> 00:27:03,010
- What is?

533
00:27:03,010 --> 00:27:03,843
- This.

534
00:27:06,330 --> 00:27:09,330
(suspenseful music)

535
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:13,200
Governments spends billions
on space exploration

536
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,000
in the search for extra terrestrial life.

537
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,480
Earth scientists have discovered nearly 1000

538
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,633
extra solar planets, some
in the habitable zone.

539
00:27:23,170 --> 00:27:25,080
Radio telescopes, beaming and beaming,

540
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,493
hoping to make contact.

541
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,170
And what happens?

542
00:27:29,170 --> 00:27:31,300
You discover they're right here.

543
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:33,460
Congratulations. You can
both add another medal

544
00:27:33,460 --> 00:27:34,630
to your fruit salads.

545
00:27:34,630 --> 00:27:36,425
- Excuse me. That's disrespectful.

546
00:27:36,425 --> 00:27:38,870
- Cedric, the General and
Major are decorated officers

547
00:27:38,870 --> 00:27:40,460
with a track record of outstanding-

548
00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:43,050
- Madam President forgive
me. I mean, no disrespect.

549
00:27:43,050 --> 00:27:44,800
It's a compliment to your command.

550
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,890
- Well, then compliment us
with your scientific insight

551
00:27:47,890 --> 00:27:49,593
on what we may be dealing with.

552
00:27:50,810 --> 00:27:52,820
- There are many insights we could make.

553
00:27:52,820 --> 00:27:55,510
Just looking at the configuration
and size of the satellite

554
00:27:55,510 --> 00:27:58,250
means that there could be a
similarity to Earth's development

555
00:27:58,250 --> 00:28:00,770
in terms of communications.

556
00:28:00,770 --> 00:28:04,200
Anti gravity propulsion
though, that's a revolution.

557
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,663
If in fact the X-37 readings were correct.

558
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,610
It means the propulsion can be achieved

559
00:28:09,610 --> 00:28:11,750
at near light, speed in space.

560
00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:13,490
And on planets like Earth.

561
00:28:13,490 --> 00:28:15,230
Gravity cancellation technology

562
00:28:15,230 --> 00:28:19,340
would make conventional
airports and airplanes obsolete.

563
00:28:19,340 --> 00:28:21,470
In essence, picture a helicopter

564
00:28:21,470 --> 00:28:23,733
without the need for rotating blades.

565
00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:27,100
Now, if such a satellite were to originate

566
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:28,530
from another solar system,

567
00:28:28,530 --> 00:28:33,243
it could be one nearby, say
Gliese or Promixa Centauri.

568
00:28:35,190 --> 00:28:36,890
Ask anyone who has worked in this field

569
00:28:36,890 --> 00:28:38,730
and they'll tell you
the navigation of space

570
00:28:38,730 --> 00:28:41,200
is complicated and dangerous.

571
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,580
It looks empty to the lay person,

572
00:28:42,580 --> 00:28:45,230
but in fact is littered with
debris like Earth orbit.

573
00:28:46,750 --> 00:28:49,260
Now for a long extended
journey they would need

574
00:28:49,260 --> 00:28:52,690
or at least want something along the lines

575
00:28:52,690 --> 00:28:55,230
of asteroid deflectors for starters.

576
00:28:55,230 --> 00:28:56,630
- Asteroid deflectors?

577
00:28:56,630 --> 00:28:58,410
- Yes, devices that fly apart,

578
00:28:58,410 --> 00:29:00,830
but in concert with the
primary space vehicle

579
00:29:00,830 --> 00:29:03,330
to repel, deflect or
even destroy space debris

580
00:29:03,330 --> 00:29:05,920
that poses a threat to navigation.

581
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,950
NASA is working on a plan
now to install laser cannons

582
00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:11,203
on the ISS for just such debris.

583
00:29:13,130 --> 00:29:15,080
It's a shame the satellite disappeared.

584
00:29:16,210 --> 00:29:18,860
Imagine the knowledge, if
it was reversed engineered.

585
00:29:19,770 --> 00:29:21,240
Of course, there's one
thing you can't tell

586
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,600
from these images or
even the transmission.

587
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:24,900
- And what's that?

588
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:27,490
- How long the satellite
has been an orbit.

589
00:29:27,490 --> 00:29:30,170
Could be one year. It could be 100.

590
00:29:30,170 --> 00:29:32,020
It could be a thousand.

591
00:29:32,020 --> 00:29:34,330
My point is, wherever they're from,

592
00:29:34,330 --> 00:29:36,690
regardless of what they look like,

593
00:29:36,690 --> 00:29:40,033
they are an advanced
civilization, but not infallible.

594
00:29:43,390 --> 00:29:46,310
- The comm signal that
passed through our satellite.

595
00:29:46,310 --> 00:29:47,143
- Exactly.

596
00:29:49,090 --> 00:29:50,590
- What do you think they want?

597
00:29:51,470 --> 00:29:52,930
- You don't need to be a
scientist to answer that,

598
00:29:52,930 --> 00:29:54,413
Madam President.

599
00:29:54,413 --> 00:29:56,340
I would postulate the
same thing NASA wants

600
00:29:56,340 --> 00:29:58,793
when new horizons
intercepts Pluto next year.

601
00:30:00,290 --> 00:30:01,123
- Answers.

602
00:30:03,270 --> 00:30:05,603
- Answers are something
that we need, Cedric.

603
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,603
So where do we go from here, General?

604
00:30:13,820 --> 00:30:17,847
- It's not where we go. It's where we are.

605
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,340
Using our military satellite networks

606
00:30:22,340 --> 00:30:24,640
in cooperation with other nations

607
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,470
and ground stations around the world,

608
00:30:27,470 --> 00:30:30,960
I've assembled a team of
scientists and engineers

609
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,490
and various agencies to detect

610
00:30:33,490 --> 00:30:35,523
and track this alien presence.

611
00:30:37,018 --> 00:30:40,820
But our present funding and
certain inter-agency rules

612
00:30:40,820 --> 00:30:42,780
prohibit us from taking this further.

613
00:30:43,970 --> 00:30:47,470
I need your authorization
to divert funding

614
00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:49,930
from the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration

615
00:30:49,930 --> 00:30:52,273
Authorization Act of 2014.

616
00:30:53,220 --> 00:30:54,380
This funding will be placed

617
00:30:54,380 --> 00:30:56,460
at the National Reconnaissance Office

618
00:30:56,460 --> 00:30:58,160
and administered by Space Command.

619
00:30:59,290 --> 00:31:01,193
NASA won't ask any questions.

620
00:31:02,300 --> 00:31:05,920
Any budget shortfall will
be handled by Congress

621
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,503
under Senator Hadrian's lead.

622
00:31:11,748 --> 00:31:14,748
(suspenseful music)

623
00:31:19,750 --> 00:31:22,068
Operation Troy, Madam President.

624
00:31:22,068 --> 00:31:25,068
(suspenseful music)

625
00:31:33,998 --> 00:31:35,940
- What are you afraid of, General?

626
00:31:35,940 --> 00:31:37,900
- It's not about being afraid.

627
00:31:37,900 --> 00:31:41,250
It's about knowing who they
are and what they want.

628
00:31:41,250 --> 00:31:43,060
And let us be clear,

629
00:31:43,060 --> 00:31:46,500
nobody undertakes a multi
light year space journey

630
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:48,550
just because it's Monday.

631
00:31:48,550 --> 00:31:51,097
- That's right, General, a journey.

632
00:31:51,097 --> 00:31:53,230
And you don't know what
they want or who they are.

633
00:31:53,230 --> 00:31:55,330
You are assuming, just
on your actions alone,

634
00:31:55,330 --> 00:31:56,950
they're malevolent.

635
00:31:56,950 --> 00:31:59,960
- And what evidence do
you have that benevolent?

636
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:02,140
- Have they attacked you? No.

637
00:32:02,140 --> 00:32:04,020
- We don't know that.

638
00:32:04,020 --> 00:32:05,550
We don't know what they're doing here,

639
00:32:05,550 --> 00:32:09,130
but they certainly have some
sort of stealth technology.

640
00:32:09,130 --> 00:32:10,470
- And you don't?

641
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:12,600
Why do you fly your stealth bombers and drones

642
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:13,930
to hostile territory?

643
00:32:13,930 --> 00:32:15,100
To protect yourself.

644
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:17,590
Has it dawned on you that
these, whatever they are,

645
00:32:17,590 --> 00:32:18,640
are doing the same?

646
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:19,910
- No, it hasn't.

647
00:32:19,910 --> 00:32:23,350
Because in our case, we
know who we're dealing with,

648
00:32:23,350 --> 00:32:24,620
human beings

649
00:32:24,620 --> 00:32:29,200
- Mr. Yonah, this is about
military preparedness.

650
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,870
It's that simple.

651
00:32:30,870 --> 00:32:33,170
We don't know what we're dealing with.

652
00:32:33,170 --> 00:32:36,013
- Exactly. You don't.

653
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,850
This action into the unknown

654
00:32:38,850 --> 00:32:41,450
could seriously put our
national security in jeopardy,

655
00:32:41,450 --> 00:32:43,650
nevermind the security of our planet.

656
00:32:43,650 --> 00:32:46,620
Isn't this the time to act
on fact rather than fiction?

657
00:32:46,620 --> 00:32:49,200
- That's the point, to get some.

658
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,020
We are operating literally in the dark,

659
00:32:52,020 --> 00:32:54,310
the darkness of space.

660
00:32:54,310 --> 00:32:56,440
The whole point of Operation Troy,

661
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,160
is to shed light on this darkness.

662
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,463
- Indeed. This is a time
to study and investigate.

663
00:33:04,650 --> 00:33:07,070
Can you imagine what you
could learn from them?

664
00:33:07,070 --> 00:33:09,680
- All we've learned is
that we're being watched,

665
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,530
and our land air and space
assets are being tracked.

666
00:33:13,530 --> 00:33:15,023
To what end, who knows?

667
00:33:16,070 --> 00:33:18,557
- Would you not agree that this
discovery gives credence to,

668
00:33:18,557 --> 00:33:21,350
"Somewhere, something incredible
is waiting to be known?"

669
00:33:21,350 --> 00:33:24,320
- This isn't the time or
place to quote Carl Sagan.

670
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,210
- That quote is mistakenly
attributed to him.

671
00:33:26,210 --> 00:33:28,310
When in fact it was created by a reporter.

672
00:33:29,220 --> 00:33:30,890
- What's your point, Cedric?

673
00:33:30,890 --> 00:33:32,841
- My point Madam President,

674
00:33:32,841 --> 00:33:35,620
is that in light of the
magnitude of this discovery

675
00:33:35,620 --> 00:33:37,563
it's too easy for mistakes to be made.

676
00:33:39,230 --> 00:33:41,270
- All you scientists are alike.

677
00:33:41,270 --> 00:33:44,210
You deal with the unknown,
but you're remarkably,

678
00:33:44,210 --> 00:33:46,080
predictable in your actions.

679
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,960
- As are you General, you
sadly deal in absolutes

680
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,700
because the unknown terrifies you

681
00:33:52,180 --> 00:33:55,540
- General, if I sign this,

682
00:33:55,540 --> 00:33:57,440
what's the objective of Operation Troy

683
00:33:58,890 --> 00:33:59,863
- Identification.

684
00:34:06,702 --> 00:34:09,119
(murmured conversation)

685
00:34:17,111 --> 00:34:19,694
(war sounds)

686
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,970
If they're going to watch
us, we'll return the favor.

687
00:34:32,930 --> 00:34:36,590
The objective is to identify
where they are on this planet.

688
00:34:36,590 --> 00:34:39,263
And if possible, the solar system.

689
00:34:40,580 --> 00:34:43,493
Once identified,
communications will be open.

690
00:34:45,410 --> 00:34:48,560
My concern, Madam President
is despite them being here,

691
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,793
they've made no effort
to communicate with us.

692
00:34:53,010 --> 00:34:56,690
Instead of silent, stealth-like invasion

693
00:34:56,690 --> 00:34:57,853
has already happened.

694
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,300
Just because a bomb hasn't been dropped

695
00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:03,433
does not mean the war has not begun.

696
00:35:05,810 --> 00:35:09,853
So yes, I am afraid.

697
00:35:10,830 --> 00:35:14,280
Afraid of the unknown, as you
should be, Madam President

698
00:35:15,315 --> 00:35:17,730
and everyone else in room.

699
00:35:17,730 --> 00:35:20,730
(suspenseful music)

700
00:35:22,773 --> 00:35:26,630
- Your xenophobia, General
is painfully apparent.

701
00:35:26,630 --> 00:35:29,673
what does Reager stand for?
Something Germanic, isn't it?

702
00:35:31,230 --> 00:35:32,940
How fitting someone with a Germanic name

703
00:35:32,940 --> 00:35:35,000
talks about identifying people?

704
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,320
How fitting such a person
commands a military apparatus.

705
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,850
- How dare you compare me-

706
00:35:38,850 --> 00:35:41,440
- I'm not comparing you
to anyone except yourself.

707
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,330
Unless people like me
speak up loud and often,

708
00:35:43,330 --> 00:35:44,720
and at the moment it matters,

709
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:47,720
history is a strange
habit of repeating itself.

710
00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:49,400
How many times in the history of mankind

711
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,460
have people been identified
by the fear of others?

712
00:35:51,460 --> 00:35:53,600
How many times have they
been marked by the ignorance

713
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,800
of hate under the
organization of the state?

714
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,600
Those that wouldn't open their eyes,

715
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,120
those that failed to learn,

716
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,710
to make any attempt to understand

717
00:36:01,710 --> 00:36:03,670
that just because you don't know someone

718
00:36:03,670 --> 00:36:05,280
doesn't mean they're your enemy.

719
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,580
They could be your friend.

720
00:36:06,580 --> 00:36:09,540
- A friend doesn't operate in stealth,

721
00:36:09,540 --> 00:36:12,150
there in the open with
a hand of friendship

722
00:36:12,150 --> 00:36:14,240
or at least curiosity.

723
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:15,630
Not some comm signal,

724
00:36:15,630 --> 00:36:18,800
revealing the identification
of our planes,

725
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,123
our ships and our submarines.

726
00:36:22,310 --> 00:36:26,280
With the exception of
you, everyone in this room

727
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,623
has taken the oath.

728
00:36:28,530 --> 00:36:33,040
It's our job to protect this
country against enemies,

729
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,443
both foreign and domestic.

730
00:36:36,550 --> 00:36:39,500
And if this doesn't qualify as foreign,

731
00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:41,900
you can have all my stars

732
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:44,773
because that is exactly
where they're from.

733
00:36:48,150 --> 00:36:52,260
And until the day comes
that they reveal themselves

734
00:36:52,260 --> 00:36:54,980
and their intentions to us,

735
00:36:54,980 --> 00:36:58,290
they will be treated as
a cancer in our world.

736
00:36:58,290 --> 00:36:59,323
- And be eradicated.

737
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,960
You're right, General.

738
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,940
I haven't taken an oath

739
00:37:04,940 --> 00:37:06,410
because how many times throughout history

740
00:37:06,410 --> 00:37:09,330
do these oaths end in, "So help me, God."

741
00:37:09,330 --> 00:37:11,220
You may be looking for
a divine intervention

742
00:37:11,220 --> 00:37:12,830
if your plans bear fruit.

743
00:37:12,830 --> 00:37:15,330
This fruit you so longingly
are looking to accomplish

744
00:37:15,330 --> 00:37:17,470
could usher in a new revelation.

745
00:37:17,470 --> 00:37:19,930
Has it even remotely occurred to you,

746
00:37:19,930 --> 00:37:22,680
instead acting on fear of
what you don't understand,

747
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,667
you want to detect,
track and identify them,

748
00:37:24,667 --> 00:37:26,923
and you don't even know what them is.

749
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,290
I'm a man of science and
one could say a history,

750
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,830
when your government enacted
the Indian Removal Act,

751
00:37:36,830 --> 00:37:38,760
it never occurred to President Jackson

752
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,270
that someday the Native Americans
unique place in the world

753
00:37:41,270 --> 00:37:42,630
might be needed.

754
00:37:42,630 --> 00:37:44,500
Thankfully, they and
their language survived

755
00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:46,930
and helped you end a World War.

756
00:37:46,930 --> 00:37:48,310
Has it occurred to you
that whoever they are

757
00:37:48,310 --> 00:37:51,410
it might someday help
you in your hour of need.

758
00:37:51,410 --> 00:37:53,230
Maybe they already are.

759
00:37:53,230 --> 00:37:54,580
Do you want to identify them

760
00:37:54,580 --> 00:37:57,230
because you were scared of
what you don't understand.

761
00:37:58,390 --> 00:38:01,610
If you don't want to understand
space, why look up,

762
00:38:01,610 --> 00:38:03,270
keep your head down.

763
00:38:03,270 --> 00:38:05,620
Thankfully Galileo never did.

764
00:38:05,620 --> 00:38:07,780
But by looking up, he
went against the state.

765
00:38:07,780 --> 00:38:10,790
Not a state of arms, but
a state of mind and beliefs.

766
00:38:10,790 --> 00:38:12,740
Beliefs so distorted centuries later,

767
00:38:12,740 --> 00:38:14,430
that millions would detect track

768
00:38:14,430 --> 00:38:17,860
and identified by a state so
consumed with fear from within

769
00:38:17,860 --> 00:38:19,203
they couldn't see without,

770
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,350
is ironic in so many ways
that you have a space program

771
00:38:23,350 --> 00:38:24,730
that failed state.

772
00:38:24,730 --> 00:38:27,000
A state that is now an ally,

773
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,940
whose Chancellor went before your Congress

774
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:31,897
and recounted one phrase of the
constitution that proclaims,

775
00:38:31,897 --> 00:38:34,017
"Human dignity shall be inviolable."

776
00:38:36,090 --> 00:38:38,010
Sadly, the action you
are postulating today,

777
00:38:38,010 --> 00:38:40,820
is a violation of the dignity
and the oath you took.

778
00:38:40,820 --> 00:38:43,590
Simply, "There is no price one can set

779
00:38:43,590 --> 00:38:46,510
on the future of humanity
so long as it is tempered

780
00:38:46,510 --> 00:38:48,950
with the best intentions of mankind."

781
00:38:48,950 --> 00:38:51,230
You said those words, Madam
President to your Congress

782
00:38:51,230 --> 00:38:53,983
to fund the space program,
not to militarize it.

783
00:38:55,930 --> 00:38:57,440
I wonder what giant leap for mankind

784
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,890
will be attained if you signed this order.

785
00:38:59,890 --> 00:39:02,556
Indeed, Madam President, the
Trojan horse in this room-

786
00:39:02,556 --> 00:39:03,632
- Sit down.

787
00:39:03,632 --> 00:39:06,215
(intense music)

788
00:39:18,132 --> 00:39:23,132
(claps) well, what a
wonderful speech that was,

789
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:28,640
full of life, perspective
and replete with history,

790
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:33,623
but not one solid contemporary
idea on what we should do.

791
00:39:36,128 --> 00:39:38,470
The history is littered
with people like you,

792
00:39:38,470 --> 00:39:40,890
all talk and no action.

793
00:39:40,890 --> 00:39:42,940
Neville Chamberlain would have loved you.

794
00:39:47,190 --> 00:39:52,190
But yes, I love this uniform
and what it represents.

795
00:39:56,940 --> 00:40:01,700
And I have no problem,
issue, or reservation

796
00:40:01,700 --> 00:40:05,940
saying that I support and
defend the constitution

797
00:40:05,940 --> 00:40:08,073
of the United States, period.

798
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:13,660
And if that goes against
your moral standings

799
00:40:13,660 --> 00:40:16,373
and sensibilities, so be it.

800
00:40:18,730 --> 00:40:19,703
That's your right.

801
00:40:20,710 --> 00:40:24,163
Because as an American,
you have that choice.

802
00:40:26,140 --> 00:40:30,883
That's the beauty of the
constitution, freedom of choice.

803
00:40:31,990 --> 00:40:35,603
And if that freedom gets
bloodied along the way, so be it.

804
00:40:36,650 --> 00:40:40,920
But I no longer have the
time, inclination or interest

805
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,173
in debating this with you any longer.

806
00:40:46,770 --> 00:40:49,870
I live in the here and now, not last week

807
00:40:49,870 --> 00:40:51,883
and not seven centuries ago.

808
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,460
And though history may have
some lessons to learn from,

809
00:40:57,460 --> 00:41:00,883
I have no interest in
writing its last chapter.

810
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,800
And I'll be God damned

811
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,003
if something else writes it for us.

812
00:41:12,164 --> 00:41:14,747
(intense music)

813
00:41:21,850 --> 00:41:23,250
Forgive me, Madam President.

814
00:41:24,550 --> 00:41:25,477
What say you?

815
00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:42,290
- It seems odd, does it?

816
00:41:43,170 --> 00:41:46,973
That we are here in a
bunker like wars long past.

817
00:41:48,810 --> 00:41:52,120
But today we decide on a
fate that none of us know

818
00:41:53,100 --> 00:41:54,100
or can even predict.

819
00:41:55,770 --> 00:41:57,530
I've always been a supporter
of the space program,

820
00:41:57,530 --> 00:41:58,363
you know that.

821
00:41:59,390 --> 00:42:02,000
But unlike presidents before me,

822
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,653
I am faced with the revelation
that mankind is not alone.

823
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,470
I have to believe that our intention

824
00:42:15,470 --> 00:42:19,310
has always been one of science,
but let's not kid ourselves.

825
00:42:19,310 --> 00:42:22,920
There's always been a
military component to this,

826
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,623
this next frontier.

827
00:42:27,770 --> 00:42:30,200
This is about the science of anything.

828
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,240
We need to know who or
what we're dealing with

829
00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:35,430
before we can deal with them.

830
00:42:35,430 --> 00:42:37,740
They have the upper hand
of what we don't know,

831
00:42:37,740 --> 00:42:40,253
but that is something
that we need to know.

832
00:42:42,915 --> 00:42:46,317
It's not about fear, but intelligence.

833
00:42:49,580 --> 00:42:51,260
I think we can all agree that

834
00:42:51,260 --> 00:42:53,060
before the New World was discovered,

835
00:42:54,180 --> 00:42:57,220
all Erikson had was the horizon to look at

836
00:42:58,210 --> 00:42:59,577
and it stars to guide him,

837
00:43:01,610 --> 00:43:03,790
but we need to know what the beyond this horizon,

838
00:43:04,830 --> 00:43:07,653
and why out of over 200 billions stars,

839
00:43:09,230 --> 00:43:10,380
they were guided to us.

840
00:43:11,540 --> 00:43:14,123
(upbeat music)

841
00:43:24,149 --> 00:43:27,681
I'm sorry, it's this world first.

842
00:43:27,681 --> 00:43:30,264
(ominous music)

843
00:44:42,213 --> 00:44:43,213
God help us.

844
00:44:44,477 --> 00:44:47,060
(ominous music)

845
00:45:20,950 --> 00:45:22,400
- Thank you, Madam President.

846
00:45:25,910 --> 00:45:27,580
For obvious reasons,

847
00:45:27,580 --> 00:45:32,250
updates will not appear on
your daily intelligence brief.

848
00:45:32,250 --> 00:45:34,040
- You can update my
office, General I'll -

849
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,713
- I'll update the president.

850
00:45:36,860 --> 00:45:39,780
- My job as the National
Security Advisor is to-

851
00:45:39,780 --> 00:45:43,550
- Advise the president on
matters of terrestrial security,

852
00:45:43,550 --> 00:45:44,803
not space.

853
00:45:45,746 --> 00:45:48,329
(ominous music)

854
00:45:51,580 --> 00:45:52,413
Madam President.

855
00:46:19,390 --> 00:46:21,530
Let's plan to meet when
you get back to Washington,

856
00:46:21,530 --> 00:46:23,570
I'm sure I'll have an update for you then.

857
00:46:23,570 --> 00:46:24,403
- Very good, General.

858
00:46:24,403 --> 00:46:26,130
- Of course, all my best at the G7.

859
00:46:26,990 --> 00:46:30,090
This invasion by the
Russian's not good.

860
00:46:30,090 --> 00:46:32,040
Hard to believe they were once an ally.

861
00:46:41,330 --> 00:46:42,163
Major?

862
00:46:42,163 --> 00:46:42,996
- Yes, sir.

863
00:46:42,996 --> 00:46:44,240
- I'll see you at the briefing.

864
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:45,073
- Yes sir.

865
00:46:46,001 --> 00:46:47,882
- Madam President.

866
00:46:47,882 --> 00:46:50,589
(upbeat music)

867
00:46:50,589 --> 00:46:53,172
(door opening)

868
00:46:56,033 --> 00:46:58,700
(door shutting)

869
00:47:10,254 --> 00:47:13,087
(papers flipping)

870
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,390
- Major, I'd like to have that file.

871
00:47:19,390 --> 00:47:20,540
- Yes, Madam President.

872
00:47:25,189 --> 00:47:26,356
- And the USB?

873
00:47:27,490 --> 00:47:29,840
- Madam President, I
don't think I could...

874
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,377
Of course, Madam President.

875
00:47:42,070 --> 00:47:44,373
- How many of us have
dreamed of this moment?

876
00:47:45,460 --> 00:47:47,860
The moment when we learned
that we're not alone?

877
00:47:49,498 --> 00:47:51,620
And what's the first step that we take?

878
00:47:51,620 --> 00:47:52,543
A military one.

879
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,973
History will record the
day I signed this order.

880
00:48:00,810 --> 00:48:02,260
My God, what have I done?

881
00:48:02,260 --> 00:48:05,130
- You've done what is
necessary for the moment

882
00:48:05,130 --> 00:48:06,820
because something tells me the alternative

883
00:48:06,820 --> 00:48:08,900
may have been far worse.

884
00:48:08,900 --> 00:48:11,840
While I don't agree with it,
I understand your decision.

885
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,700
History is replete with moments like this,

886
00:48:14,700 --> 00:48:16,760
but moments are never the whole picture

887
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,060
that is yet to be painted.

888
00:48:20,663 --> 00:48:23,560
- I wish I could share your
spirited optimism, Cedric.

889
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,433
- Optimism is what we
must have, Madam President

890
00:48:26,433 --> 00:48:28,883
so the darkest hour turns
into the brightest day.

891
00:48:31,630 --> 00:48:34,140
- Madam President, it was a
pleasure to meet you today.

892
00:48:34,140 --> 00:48:35,800
I'm sorry the circumstances.

893
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,140
- Think nothing of it, Major.

894
00:48:37,140 --> 00:48:41,320
These are revealing times,
if not conflicted ones.

895
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,600
- May I ask which base you
might be visiting next?

896
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:45,770
- You may ask.

897
00:48:45,770 --> 00:48:47,100
- Major, may I ask where you're headed?

898
00:48:47,100 --> 00:48:48,630
I could use a ride to the field.

899
00:48:48,630 --> 00:48:50,657
- Mr. Griffin was your ride, I gather.

900
00:48:50,657 --> 00:48:51,960
- Yes, I could hire a car, but-

901
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,320
- No, no, that'd be fine.

902
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,890
I'm not due back at Chievres
until later this afternoon.

903
00:48:56,890 --> 00:48:58,550
I'd be happy to do it.

904
00:48:58,550 --> 00:49:02,943
- Thank you. Madam President,
until our next meeting.

905
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,273
- Safe travels, Cedric.

906
00:49:07,570 --> 00:49:08,610
- Madam President.

907
00:49:08,610 --> 00:49:09,443
- Elisabeth.

908
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:14,513
- Ma'am.

909
00:49:17,607 --> 00:49:20,190
(ominous music)

910
00:49:24,157 --> 00:49:25,135
(door opening)

911
00:49:25,135 --> 00:49:27,718
(upbeat music)

912
00:49:29,056 --> 00:49:31,723
(door shutting)

913
00:49:36,469 --> 00:49:39,010
- With the stroke of a pen,

914
00:49:39,010 --> 00:49:40,763
I just unleashed hell on Earth.

915
00:49:46,004 --> 00:49:48,587
(door opening)

916
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,810
- Where am I taking you?

917
00:49:54,810 --> 00:49:58,060
- It's a private field about
10 kilometers from the city.

918
00:49:58,060 --> 00:49:59,416
I'll direct you.

919
00:49:59,416 --> 00:50:02,666
- If you have the address I can GPS it.

920
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:07,603
- Why did you sign it?

921
00:50:10,900 --> 00:50:13,050
- We needed to know
who we're dealing with.

922
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,820
Since the knowledge of an
alien presence on Earth

923
00:50:16,820 --> 00:50:19,020
was conveyed to me by my predecessor,

924
00:50:19,020 --> 00:50:21,400
on the day after I assumed office,

925
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,100
my fear has always been
that at some point,

926
00:50:24,100 --> 00:50:26,440
the military would rest
control of our armed forces

927
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:27,540
from civilian command.

928
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:30,500
It's easier to monitor
him if I agree with him.

929
00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:35,500
If I fight him, he'll burrow
into a hole so deep and black,

930
00:50:36,770 --> 00:50:39,070
not even Kepler could
find him (sighs loudly).

931
00:50:45,300 --> 00:50:47,913
Issue the code, Argonaut Two.

932
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,223
Argonaut, he's not here.

933
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,563
- Yes, he is. Contact his embassy.

934
00:50:58,870 --> 00:51:01,320
- Yes. Yes, Madam President.

935
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,403
- Elisabeth, everyone's been identified,

936
00:51:05,530 --> 00:51:07,140
take every precaution.

937
00:51:10,612 --> 00:51:13,391
(door opening)

938
00:51:13,391 --> 00:51:16,564
(door shutting)

939
00:51:16,564 --> 00:51:18,981
(soft music)

940
00:52:15,925 --> 00:52:19,008
(footsteps thumping)

941
00:52:22,299 --> 00:52:23,491
(door shutting)

942
00:52:23,491 --> 00:52:25,908
(soft music)

943
00:53:28,932 --> 00:53:31,682
(suspense music)

944
00:54:18,750 --> 00:54:22,250
(airplane engine roaring)

945
00:54:30,997 --> 00:54:33,747
(suspense music)

946
00:55:22,370 --> 00:55:23,430
- Senator Hadrian

947
00:55:24,420 --> 00:55:27,230
- I'm sure you've had enough
formalities for one day.

948
00:55:27,230 --> 00:55:28,157
Paul will do.

949
00:55:28,157 --> 00:55:30,070
- And so will this.

950
00:55:30,070 --> 00:55:31,510
- Excellent.

951
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:33,230
- Anything on Yonah?

952
00:55:33,230 --> 00:55:34,580
- No, nothing.

953
00:55:34,580 --> 00:55:37,200
There are no records on a
Cedric Yonah in any civilian

954
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,560
or military database.

955
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,220
- What? He's a science attache for Colton.

956
00:55:42,220 --> 00:55:43,980
- Hmm. No, he isn't.

957
00:55:43,980 --> 00:55:45,080
Our intel can't decide

958
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:46,920
if he was invited by Seward or Griffin.

959
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,830
- And what about him? Griffin?

960
00:55:48,830 --> 00:55:52,390
He checks out so far,
but if he was in Germany,

961
00:55:52,390 --> 00:55:53,890
he didn't go through Brussels.

962
00:55:54,820 --> 00:55:55,990
- How did he leave?

963
00:55:55,990 --> 00:55:59,730
- Helicopter, no flight plan
and even more disturbing,

964
00:55:59,730 --> 00:56:01,900
we've lost him on the radar.

965
00:56:01,900 --> 00:56:04,720
- That's not possible in this airspace.

966
00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:06,963
- Someone made it possible just like this.

967
00:56:09,030 --> 00:56:10,233
- What the hell?

968
00:56:12,030 --> 00:56:13,953
- They're all like this from the meeting.

969
00:56:15,130 --> 00:56:18,480
But if you take a look at
your drive, they're all fine.

970
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:19,900
That camera we hid in your fruit salad

971
00:56:19,900 --> 00:56:21,750
seemed to work wonderfully.

972
00:56:21,750 --> 00:56:24,250
And we picked up your
signal as you came topside.

973
00:56:25,500 --> 00:56:27,270
- [Reager] It's not mechanical.

974
00:56:27,270 --> 00:56:28,270
- No. And I'm afraid

975
00:56:28,270 --> 00:56:30,800
Sampson is gonna have the same results.

976
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,140
By the way, we haven't heard from her

977
00:56:32,140 --> 00:56:34,490
since she went down
underneath for the meeting.

978
00:56:35,550 --> 00:56:37,000
Has she reported back to you?

979
00:56:38,140 --> 00:56:39,890
- That's disturbing.

980
00:56:39,890 --> 00:56:43,220
I disabled the Faraday
shield after I left.

981
00:56:43,220 --> 00:56:45,780
Click back to the meeting.

982
00:56:45,780 --> 00:56:48,440
No, something's not right.

983
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,033
No background, no picture.

984
00:56:53,905 --> 00:56:55,260
You don't think you could
be one of the people?

985
00:56:55,260 --> 00:56:56,253
- Who knows?

986
00:56:59,450 --> 00:57:01,500
- Well, whoever he is, he knows who I am.

987
00:57:03,184 --> 00:57:05,178
- But we know who he works with.

988
00:57:05,178 --> 00:57:07,528
And this meeting was
always about intelligence.

989
00:57:08,513 --> 00:57:11,096
(soft music)

990
00:57:46,972 --> 00:57:48,654
(knocking on the door)

991
00:57:48,654 --> 00:57:51,237
(soft music)

992
00:58:00,300 --> 00:58:01,133
- Yes.

993
00:58:02,306 --> 00:58:04,889
(door opening)

994
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,840
- Madam President, the Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom

995
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:12,877
and the President of
the Russian Federation.

996
00:58:12,877 --> 00:58:13,710
(door shutting)

997
00:58:13,710 --> 00:58:15,480
- Alison, thank you so much.

998
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,810
- Well, I was just upstairs, but...

999
00:58:17,810 --> 00:58:20,053
- Sergei, I appreciate this.

1000
00:58:20,053 --> 00:58:21,453
You know I wouldn't have called
Argonaut Two if it wasn't-

1001
00:58:21,453 --> 00:58:22,513
- Elisabeth briefed us.

1002
00:58:22,513 --> 00:58:23,500
- Stephen, where is Elisabeth?

1003
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:26,480
- She's in communication
with the Synedrion Council.

1004
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,722
- Let us know when she returns. Thank you.

1005
00:58:28,722 --> 00:58:30,222
- Madam President.

1006
00:58:33,750 --> 00:58:35,693
- Allison, there's coffee, tea.

1007
00:58:37,020 --> 00:58:39,603
(soft music)

1008
00:58:51,179 --> 00:58:53,292
- You didn't push the panic
button because of a satellite

1009
00:58:53,292 --> 00:58:54,811
we already knew about.

1010
00:58:54,811 --> 00:58:55,997
Your military is out of control.

1011
00:58:55,997 --> 00:58:59,520
- And yours isn't? You
invaded and annexed Crimea.

1012
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,180
- Crimea's parliament
voted for independence.

1013
00:59:01,180 --> 00:59:04,030
- Oh, please. After you installed
a pro Russian government.

1014
00:59:04,030 --> 00:59:05,561
- Your sanctions against us will not be-

1015
00:59:05,561 --> 00:59:08,833
- Sergei. Helen. We're not here

1016
00:59:08,833 --> 00:59:10,383
to talk about matters of state.

1017
00:59:11,998 --> 00:59:14,415
(soft music)

1018
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:18,100
- You're right?

1019
00:59:18,100 --> 00:59:21,103
Of course. My apologies.

1020
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,053
- Well, now that we have detente.

1021
00:59:43,300 --> 00:59:46,930
Helen, Argonaut Two is only called

1022
00:59:46,930 --> 00:59:49,940
when one of the space is
an imminent outside threat,

1023
00:59:49,940 --> 00:59:53,124
but this isn't outside it's inside.

1024
00:59:53,124 --> 00:59:55,541
(soft music)

1025
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,590
- I had no idea you were
such a historian on space,

1026
01:00:01,590 --> 01:00:02,460
Elisabeth.

1027
01:00:02,460 --> 01:00:04,863
- That's why I'm here. I briefed her.

1028
01:00:08,370 --> 01:00:10,670
- Well, one thing was quite clear,

1029
01:00:10,670 --> 01:00:13,943
Seward and Yonah are not
casual acquaintances.

1030
01:00:15,030 --> 01:00:18,083
I wonder, have we been played?

1031
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:20,930
- In what sense?

1032
01:00:20,930 --> 01:00:23,320
- There are only two possibilities.

1033
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,693
Either they made a mistake, which I doubt.

1034
01:00:26,807 --> 01:00:28,240
Or they deliberately sent a signal

1035
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,233
through Milstar to smoke us out.

1036
01:00:31,530 --> 01:00:33,710
I don't think it was the former.

1037
01:00:33,710 --> 01:00:35,720
- Why would they possibly do that?

1038
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:40,720
- Answers. The crash in
47. The conference in 72.

1039
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,400
He mentioned reverse engineering

1040
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,050
and seemed to go off a
cliff when I told him

1041
01:00:46,050 --> 01:00:47,150
we decoded the signal.

1042
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,200
We've been waiting for a move.

1043
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:51,620
This could have been it.

1044
01:00:51,620 --> 01:00:53,373
- No, I don't see it.

1045
01:00:54,290 --> 01:00:57,020
Would you have given the
Taliban classified intel

1046
01:00:57,020 --> 01:00:59,710
to disclosed their exact locations?

1047
01:00:59,710 --> 01:01:02,193
No. Misinformation, of course.

1048
01:01:03,353 --> 01:01:05,520
And you remember the day
the signal was cracked

1049
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:08,830
and you took the information,
clarified it with our records.

1050
01:01:08,830 --> 01:01:10,143
You nearly had a stroke.

1051
01:01:11,290 --> 01:01:14,250
And the method we use
to crack that signal,

1052
01:01:14,250 --> 01:01:16,450
the Geneva Convention
doesn't apply to them.

1053
01:01:19,214 --> 01:01:20,047
- Them!

1054
01:01:21,853 --> 01:01:23,860
(mysterious music)

1055
01:01:23,860 --> 01:01:25,260
- Does he know about Apollo?

1056
01:01:29,787 --> 01:01:32,620
- This invasion by
the Russians, not good.

1057
01:01:32,620 --> 01:01:34,570
Hard to believe they were once an ally.

1058
01:01:37,210 --> 01:01:39,993
- Helen, this is bigger than Apollo.

1059
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,033
It transcends all of us.

1060
01:01:47,130 --> 01:01:48,813
- Jesus Christ.

1061
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:51,570
- And he's not working alone.

1062
01:01:53,410 --> 01:01:55,410
- What was her reaction?

1063
01:01:55,410 --> 01:01:56,243
- Dejected.

1064
01:01:58,690 --> 01:01:59,540
- And insurgency?

1065
01:02:00,630 --> 01:02:02,640
- I suspect in all our militaries.

1066
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,860
that's why I called Argonaut Two.

1067
01:02:04,860 --> 01:02:06,930
Like the first during the war

1068
01:02:06,930 --> 01:02:09,223
the only way to win this
one is if we cooperate.

1069
01:02:12,510 --> 01:02:15,060
- Reager gives a whole new
meaning to fifth column.

1070
01:02:16,620 --> 01:02:18,050
- What about Hadrian?

1071
01:02:18,050 --> 01:02:21,103
Is he part of this insurgency
or just an unwilling pawn?

1072
01:02:22,818 --> 01:02:24,000
- It's hard to say at this point.

1073
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:25,990
His committee has oversight
over the military.

1074
01:02:25,990 --> 01:02:29,420
So it makes sense that he's
in communication with him.

1075
01:02:29,420 --> 01:02:31,280
And there's also a
rumor that he's going to

1076
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,370
be Anderson's VP pick in the
next presidential election.

1077
01:02:34,370 --> 01:02:35,953
- Then we should keep him close.

1078
01:02:37,620 --> 01:02:40,420
- Telling Colton about Apollo
was the right thing to do.

1079
01:02:41,530 --> 01:02:43,217
She can't do anything about this publicly,

1080
01:02:43,217 --> 01:02:44,703
but we can privately.

1081
01:02:45,970 --> 01:02:47,370
This is about parity.

1082
01:02:47,370 --> 01:02:49,980
The playing field needs to be leveled.

1083
01:02:49,980 --> 01:02:51,570
- [Pilot] There's a whole fleet of them.

1084
01:02:51,570 --> 01:02:53,653
Look on the S.A. My gosh.

1085
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:57,792
They're all going against the wind.

1086
01:02:57,792 --> 01:02:59,953
The wind is 120 knots to the west.

1087
01:02:59,953 --> 01:03:02,073
- That was as close as we ever got.

1088
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,790
- Nothing the air force has
can compete with any of these.

1089
01:03:06,790 --> 01:03:08,590
We need to get at least one of them.

1090
01:03:09,630 --> 01:03:12,270
What's the update with our prototype?

1091
01:03:12,270 --> 01:03:14,193
- In about 36 to 48 months.

1092
01:03:16,500 --> 01:03:18,160
What if she shows up?

1093
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,580
We can't deny the
Commander-in-Chief access.

1094
01:03:21,580 --> 01:03:23,740
If she learns what we've diverted funding

1095
01:03:23,740 --> 01:03:25,800
from NASA's Orion program for.

1096
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:27,940
- That's why you went in with Troy

1097
01:03:27,940 --> 01:03:29,493
to make this diversion legal.

1098
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:32,720
Besides, too many of Sampson's group

1099
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,640
already know about the signal,

1100
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:36,090
We had to tell the president.

1101
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:40,970
- The meeting with Reager was never about

1102
01:03:40,970 --> 01:03:42,440
discovering the satellite,

1103
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,320
but who would surface
from within the military.

1104
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,010
That was their plan.

1105
01:03:46,010 --> 01:03:48,823
Since 72, they've been
desperate for intelligence.

1106
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:50,950
Can't say I blame them.

1107
01:03:51,940 --> 01:03:55,090
But today both sides lost
because all of the key players

1108
01:03:55,090 --> 01:03:56,693
have been revealed to each other.

1109
01:03:57,540 --> 01:03:59,113
If anyone was a pawn, it was me.

1110
01:04:01,342 --> 01:04:02,992
- And Cedric came to the meeting?

1111
01:04:04,170 --> 01:04:06,683
He hasn't been seen in
public since the war.

1112
01:04:08,223 --> 01:04:09,190
- He insisted.

1113
01:04:09,190 --> 01:04:10,320
we tried to reason with him,

1114
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,100
but there was no changing his mind.

1115
01:04:13,100 --> 01:04:16,439
Reager only heard and
saw what he wanted too.

1116
01:04:16,439 --> 01:04:17,540
- There's no choice then.

1117
01:04:17,540 --> 01:04:19,418
We need to give the peace.

1118
01:04:19,418 --> 01:04:22,028
At any cost because the next war

1119
01:04:22,028 --> 01:04:23,628
could throw us to the dark ages.

1120
01:04:25,260 --> 01:04:28,093
- Then we need a grand
alliance and a united front.

1121
01:04:33,790 --> 01:04:36,750
- If Colton shows up, she'll
need to make a choice,

1122
01:04:36,750 --> 01:04:38,170
either this world or theirs

1123
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,360
because until we know the extent
this alien force has on us,

1124
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,060
there's only one thing left to do.

1125
01:04:52,459 --> 01:04:54,876
(soft music)

1126
01:05:15,670 --> 01:05:16,880
- Put me through to Space Command

1127
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:18,343
at Peterson Air Force Base.

1128
01:05:24,170 --> 01:05:25,890
This is General Reager,

1129
01:05:25,890 --> 01:05:28,823
by authorization of the
President of the United States,

1130
01:05:29,710 --> 01:05:31,190
initiate Operation Troy.

1131
01:05:32,377 --> 01:05:35,377
(suspenseful music)

1132
01:05:36,995 --> 01:05:38,400
(keyboard clicking)

1133
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,400
(suspenseful music)

1134
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:07,300
- Reager's got everyone on the offensive.

1135
01:06:07,300 --> 01:06:10,210
So we need to keep all
eyes looking down at Earth

1136
01:06:10,210 --> 01:06:11,110
rather than above.

1137
01:06:12,011 --> 01:06:12,844
- Conflicts.

1138
01:06:14,830 --> 01:06:18,610
- Yes and regional wars
that we can contain

1139
01:06:18,610 --> 01:06:20,770
through back channels like this one.

1140
01:06:20,770 --> 01:06:22,860
And then while that
front is moving forward,

1141
01:06:22,860 --> 01:06:25,830
we can start gathering
intelligence on Reager's operation.

1142
01:06:25,830 --> 01:06:27,580
- Follow the money.

1143
01:06:27,580 --> 01:06:28,413
- Exactly.

1144
01:06:29,620 --> 01:06:31,910
The Pentagon's Advanced
Aviation Threat Identification

1145
01:06:31,910 --> 01:06:33,800
Program ran out of money in 2012.

1146
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,043
So he can't hide behind that.

1147
01:06:36,950 --> 01:06:38,810
And he's probably already
tapped what he feels,

1148
01:06:38,810 --> 01:06:40,890
the CBO and treasury won't discover

1149
01:06:40,890 --> 01:06:42,240
along with black ops money.

1150
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,940
But now he needs money for
something else, something big.

1151
01:06:46,940 --> 01:06:48,270
I can feel it.

1152
01:06:48,270 --> 01:06:49,390
And it's not the sat networks,

1153
01:06:49,390 --> 01:06:51,540
they're already up and running.

1154
01:06:51,540 --> 01:06:54,990
- Well, while the money is being traced

1155
01:06:54,990 --> 01:06:58,500
there's plenty of hotspots
to ignite regional conflicts.

1156
01:06:58,500 --> 01:06:59,540
We have to decide-

1157
01:06:59,540 --> 01:07:03,393
- Excuse me, (nervous laugh) let's
hit pause for a moment.

1158
01:07:07,950 --> 01:07:10,057
Before we start playing God,

1159
01:07:11,390 --> 01:07:13,270
don't you think the time has come

1160
01:07:13,270 --> 01:07:15,163
that they reveal themselves?

1161
01:07:16,340 --> 01:07:18,243
- They tried that, Alison in 72.

1162
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:21,720
I agree with Reager on one point,

1163
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,010
we all know that despite
the yearning of the masses,

1164
01:07:24,010 --> 01:07:26,720
wanting to know that they're
not alone in this universe,

1165
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:28,263
they actually prefer it that way.

1166
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:30,830
Look, I don't like this
job any more than you do,

1167
01:07:30,830 --> 01:07:32,240
but no prime minister or president

1168
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:33,480
should be saddled with this knowledge.

1169
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:34,993
Nevermind, responsibility.

1170
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,593
That is the hand we've
been dealt, and thank God.

1171
01:07:39,670 --> 01:07:43,220
So we're here playing cards
in this cosmic game of poker,

1172
01:07:43,220 --> 01:07:44,270
I'll aim for a Royal.

1173
01:07:46,740 --> 01:07:48,923
- And let's be clear Allison.

1174
01:07:48,923 --> 01:07:50,780
This is not about playing God,

1175
01:07:50,780 --> 01:07:53,506
it is about delaying revelation.

1176
01:07:53,506 --> 01:07:55,090
Reager thinks he knows his enemy,

1177
01:07:55,090 --> 01:07:57,950
but his enemy is not who he thinks it is.

1178
01:07:57,950 --> 01:07:59,313
He's acting conventionally.

1179
01:08:00,740 --> 01:08:02,700
And if it's true that like-minded people,

1180
01:08:02,700 --> 01:08:06,165
in our respective military
and intelligence operations

1181
01:08:06,165 --> 01:08:08,330
have been compromised
and are following him,

1182
01:08:08,330 --> 01:08:10,660
then the only thing left for us to do

1183
01:08:10,660 --> 01:08:13,413
is to make their job on Earth
as difficult as possible.

1184
01:08:15,110 --> 01:08:19,450
We of all nations should know
that peace is not bloodness.

1185
01:08:19,450 --> 01:08:22,573
The last thing any of us
need is a united insurgency.

1186
01:08:25,001 --> 01:08:27,383
To quote one of your predecessors,

1187
01:08:27,383 --> 01:08:30,020
"There is no time for ease and comfort.

1188
01:08:30,020 --> 01:08:32,327
It is time to dare and endure."

1189
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:35,880
- Sergei, I think we can all agree

1190
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:40,020
that nothing about this
is easy or comforting,

1191
01:08:40,020 --> 01:08:43,150
but when the day comes that we
no longer question ourselves,

1192
01:08:43,150 --> 01:08:47,234
we become the very people
we're trying to defeat.

1193
01:08:47,234 --> 01:08:50,098
Let us hope we endure this.

1194
01:08:50,098 --> 01:08:52,848
(air raid siren)

1195
01:09:13,956 --> 01:09:15,805
- I understand.

1196
01:09:15,805 --> 01:09:18,880
(phone bangs)

1197
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,573
Sampson left with Cedric 15 minutes ago,

1198
01:09:23,670 --> 01:09:26,950
and there's a radar and
communications blackout

1199
01:09:26,950 --> 01:09:30,293
that radiates out 15
kilometers from the city.

1200
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:36,153
- Griffin disappears, Cedric
can't be identified, no comms.

1201
01:09:37,625 --> 01:09:39,958
This can't be a coincidence.

1202
01:09:45,780 --> 01:09:47,530
Put me through to Commander Halsey.

1203
01:09:48,594 --> 01:09:51,594
(suspenseful music)

1204
01:09:59,430 --> 01:10:02,150
- You should continue
pushing into Donbass.

1205
01:10:02,150 --> 01:10:04,760
- What about the Security
Council and NATO?

1206
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,510
- Three of the five permanent
members are in this room.

1207
01:10:09,250 --> 01:10:14,173
Ukraine is not part of NATO
so article five doesn't apply.

1208
01:10:16,900 --> 01:10:18,223
Germany will complain,

1209
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,680
but their economy relies
on your good graces

1210
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:23,853
so it will go nowhere.

1211
01:10:25,510 --> 01:10:28,510
Maybe superficial sanctions,
but that's as far as it will go

1212
01:10:31,330 --> 01:10:32,890
- Coalition airstrikes against ISIL

1213
01:10:32,890 --> 01:10:34,290
will be starting next month.

1214
01:10:35,700 --> 01:10:39,690
With our intelligence, we
can assist ISIL's reach

1215
01:10:39,690 --> 01:10:41,040
outside of their caliphate.

1216
01:10:42,715 --> 01:10:47,620
- Dear God, Helen. Do you
know what you're saying?

1217
01:10:47,620 --> 01:10:48,520
If this gets out-

1218
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,190
- Allison, if you have a
pious solution for this,

1219
01:10:51,190 --> 01:10:52,093
we're all ears.

1220
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,550
Arresting Reager and
Hadrian is not an option.

1221
01:10:55,550 --> 01:10:57,723
First, there's no legal basis for it.

1222
01:10:57,723 --> 01:10:59,330
I mean, dismissing Reager
would be one thing,

1223
01:10:59,330 --> 01:11:01,593
but removing a sitting Senator?

1224
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:04,890
And let's be clear,

1225
01:11:04,890 --> 01:11:06,940
if cornered their option
could lead to a conflict

1226
01:11:06,940 --> 01:11:07,940
of biblical proportions.

1227
01:11:07,940 --> 01:11:08,773
You know that.

1228
01:11:10,580 --> 01:11:12,670
Just like everyone else in this game,

1229
01:11:12,670 --> 01:11:14,093
we need intelligence.

1230
01:11:14,963 --> 01:11:17,430
Not just for them, but for ourselves.

1231
01:11:17,430 --> 01:11:18,923
Because when this dam breaks,

1232
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:21,800
we better know who's on our ark.

1233
01:11:24,780 --> 01:11:25,613
Debate's over

1234
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:38,880
- Well, as for debate, you
knew there's growing voice

1235
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,333
in the UK to leave the European Union.

1236
01:11:43,260 --> 01:11:47,290
If the vote is to leave, it
will send the markets in turmoil

1237
01:11:47,290 --> 01:11:50,053
and destabilize the European economy.

1238
01:11:52,980 --> 01:11:56,480
But we can't force people to
vote one way or the other.

1239
01:11:56,480 --> 01:11:57,980
- Elections can be influenced.

1240
01:11:58,850 --> 01:12:00,010
Depending on the outcome,

1241
01:12:00,010 --> 01:12:02,720
we could keep intelligence agencies

1242
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:04,473
and governments busy for years.

1243
01:12:05,710 --> 01:12:07,390
The question you need to ask yourself

1244
01:12:07,390 --> 01:12:09,750
is who do you want to
occupy the oval office

1245
01:12:09,750 --> 01:12:10,857
after you leave.

1246
01:12:11,911 --> 01:12:13,650
Who do you think is best equipped

1247
01:12:13,650 --> 01:12:15,563
to handle matters of space?

1248
01:12:17,250 --> 01:12:19,600
This is where we keep our friends close,

1249
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:21,092
but our enemies closer.

1250
01:12:21,092 --> 01:12:24,118
(door opening)

1251
01:12:24,118 --> 01:12:27,118
(suspenseful music)

1252
01:12:46,116 --> 01:12:49,199
(car engine roaring)

1253
01:12:55,570 --> 01:12:58,290
- Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

1254
01:12:58,290 --> 01:13:02,760
The council has known for some
time that there is one hangar

1255
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:04,410
that central can not see through.

1256
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:07,780
As General Reager has been identified

1257
01:13:07,780 --> 01:13:11,070
as part of this military insurgency

1258
01:13:11,070 --> 01:13:15,660
and with his frequent trips to
the base, the time has come,

1259
01:13:15,660 --> 01:13:18,713
where we need to know
what's inside that hanger.

1260
01:13:19,830 --> 01:13:20,683
A bit of history.

1261
01:13:21,690 --> 01:13:23,380
During the Cold War, Wright was home

1262
01:13:23,380 --> 01:13:25,100
to the Aeronautical System Center

1263
01:13:25,100 --> 01:13:28,240
and the National Air and
Space Intelligence Center.

1264
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:31,770
If there was a new aerospace
weapon or intelligence system

1265
01:13:31,770 --> 01:13:34,270
it was conceived, designed, tested,

1266
01:13:34,270 --> 01:13:36,163
and deployed from Wright,

1267
01:13:37,170 --> 01:13:40,883
but it was World War II
that brought it home to us.

1268
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:46,100
just after the war, Operation
Paperclip landed 200 plus

1269
01:13:46,100 --> 01:13:49,800
Nazi German scientists
and technicians at Wright.

1270
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,460
The most famous of them
was Wernher von Braun,

1271
01:13:52,460 --> 01:13:56,420
whose Saturn V rockets,
landed men on the moon in 1969

1272
01:13:57,440 --> 01:14:00,410
and resulted in the greatest cover-up

1273
01:14:00,410 --> 01:14:01,883
in Earth's known history.

1274
01:14:06,420 --> 01:14:10,180
- Does the council have any
idea what's in that hangar?

1275
01:14:10,180 --> 01:14:13,023
- None. And security is biometric.

1276
01:14:14,290 --> 01:14:15,930
- Well, the answer is simple,

1277
01:14:15,930 --> 01:14:18,120
Wright is your the next base inspection.

1278
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:21,483
- As Commander-in-Chief, you're
the only one that can go.

1279
01:14:23,050 --> 01:14:26,503
- Well, there may be
another, but time is short.

1280
01:14:31,730 --> 01:14:36,283
If I do this, we lay every,
every card on the table.

1281
01:14:38,300 --> 01:14:39,430
I think we should wait.

1282
01:14:39,430 --> 01:14:41,030
- What for?

1283
01:14:41,030 --> 01:14:43,700
You need to take the same lead with Reager

1284
01:14:43,700 --> 01:14:44,900
as you just did with us.

1285
01:14:46,415 --> 01:14:48,998
(ominous music)

1286
01:15:25,290 --> 01:15:28,567
(heavy wind blowing)

1287
01:15:28,567 --> 01:15:32,267
(car doors banging)

1288
01:15:32,267 --> 01:15:35,017
(birds tweeting)

1289
01:15:36,290 --> 01:15:37,890
- Glad you knew how to get here.

1290
01:15:39,140 --> 01:15:41,123
It's weird that GPS didn't work.

1291
01:15:42,575 --> 01:15:45,325
(birds tweeting)

1292
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:52,470
That was a long call you had,
I hate teleconference calls,

1293
01:15:52,470 --> 01:15:54,040
especially when you just have to listen

1294
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:55,733
while someone else drones on.

1295
01:15:58,080 --> 01:15:59,120
- Just because I was listening

1296
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,303
doesn't mean I wasn't saying anything.

1297
01:16:01,303 --> 01:16:03,886
(upbeat music)

1298
01:16:07,361 --> 01:16:08,194
(birds tweeting)

1299
01:16:08,194 --> 01:16:10,440
- (sighs) It looks like
your ride's not here yet.

1300
01:16:10,440 --> 01:16:11,640
Do you need to call someone?

1301
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:12,473
Nope.

1302
01:16:13,630 --> 01:16:16,360
(birds tweeting)

1303
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,500
So tell me Ellen, you've
been in the military what?

1304
01:16:18,500 --> 01:16:20,030
Since high school?

1305
01:16:20,030 --> 01:16:21,500
- Just about.

1306
01:16:21,500 --> 01:16:24,000
- What brought you to the
air force, specifically?

1307
01:16:25,650 --> 01:16:27,450
- Well, ever since I was a kid,

1308
01:16:27,450 --> 01:16:29,500
I wanted to know how to fly.

1309
01:16:29,500 --> 01:16:31,270
At first, it was just
the remote control planes

1310
01:16:31,270 --> 01:16:32,876
and then before I knew it,

1311
01:16:32,876 --> 01:16:35,200
I was learning to fly a
Cessna while in high school.

1312
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:36,907
My father showed me.

1313
01:16:36,907 --> 01:16:38,910
- He was a pilot? Your
parents must be proud.

1314
01:16:38,910 --> 01:16:41,220
- Yes. Commercial. He is.

1315
01:16:41,220 --> 01:16:42,470
Mom?

1316
01:16:42,470 --> 01:16:43,843
- She died when I was 10.

1317
01:16:44,730 --> 01:16:46,040
- Sorry.

1318
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:48,113
- Oh, thank you. It's all right.

1319
01:16:49,550 --> 01:16:51,463
So it was just my dad, me.

1320
01:16:52,570 --> 01:16:53,930
I used to love when he would sneak me

1321
01:16:53,930 --> 01:16:55,083
on to the flight deck.

1322
01:16:56,180 --> 01:16:59,120
- Flying is rather intoxicating, isn't it?

1323
01:16:59,120 --> 01:16:59,953
- Oh, yes.

1324
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:03,343
- Doing some work on the F-35?

1325
01:17:05,100 --> 01:17:06,470
- Not as much as I would like,

1326
01:17:06,470 --> 01:17:08,413
program is a development nightmare.

1327
01:17:09,930 --> 01:17:10,763
- So I hear.

1328
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,860
So then you got a degree
in aerospace engineering.

1329
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:17,320
- Yes. How did you know?

1330
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:20,360
- Just an educated guess
with your satellite work.

1331
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,940
Any other reasons why
you joined the military?

1332
01:17:22,940 --> 01:17:24,492
Forgive my asking.

1333
01:17:24,492 --> 01:17:26,733
I always find the stories interesting.

1334
01:17:27,610 --> 01:17:30,820
- I guess a sense of adventure,

1335
01:17:30,820 --> 01:17:33,203
seeing new things, traveling.

1336
01:17:34,460 --> 01:17:35,293
What about you?

1337
01:17:35,293 --> 01:17:38,450
What made you so passionate
about science and history?

1338
01:17:38,450 --> 01:17:41,107
That was quite the speech
you gave to General Reager.

1339
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:44,660
- Well, when you've been
at it as long as I've been,

1340
01:17:44,660 --> 01:17:48,083
let's just say it's a
long experience, long.

1341
01:17:49,510 --> 01:17:51,610
But for me it's how science
transcends the past,

1342
01:17:51,610 --> 01:17:53,140
present and future.

1343
01:17:53,140 --> 01:17:56,300
I've always been curious, I
guess, wanting to contribute,

1344
01:17:56,300 --> 01:17:58,730
wanting to understand the unknown,

1345
01:17:58,730 --> 01:18:00,723
something my parents instilled in me.

1346
01:18:01,820 --> 01:18:04,210
They taught me to understand
that once you know the unknown,

1347
01:18:04,210 --> 01:18:07,163
it no longer frightens you
because you can learn from it.

1348
01:18:08,169 --> 01:18:10,907
But learning is three-dimensional
not two like Reager.

1349
01:18:11,917 --> 01:18:13,750
- You don't like him.

1350
01:18:13,750 --> 01:18:16,160
- It's nothing to do with
like, but it's everything to do

1351
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:17,580
with the fact that he came to that meeting

1352
01:18:17,580 --> 01:18:19,603
for one reason only, to get a signature.

1353
01:18:20,820 --> 01:18:23,010
- He's always been objective-driven.

1354
01:18:23,010 --> 01:18:26,130
He didn't rise to the rank he
has without being decisive.

1355
01:18:26,130 --> 01:18:28,510
- True. We all have our objectives.

1356
01:18:28,510 --> 01:18:30,610
Speaking of, you and your group

1357
01:18:30,610 --> 01:18:33,754
must've been pretty excited
when you made this discovery.

1358
01:18:33,754 --> 01:18:37,457
- Oh, it was incredible

1359
01:18:39,780 --> 01:18:41,703
to know that we're not alone,

1360
01:18:44,710 --> 01:18:48,703
but I'll admit it, I'm scared.

1361
01:18:51,955 --> 01:18:55,960
Maybe. Maybe I just don't
understand this unknown.

1362
01:18:57,780 --> 01:19:00,300
- Yet. You see what was exciting to me

1363
01:19:00,300 --> 01:19:02,720
was the fact that some
civilization found Earth

1364
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,490
worthy to look at, to study.

1365
01:19:04,490 --> 01:19:06,240
Kepler may already be looking back,

1366
01:19:07,270 --> 01:19:08,960
but there's a technology gap

1367
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:11,410
and so many don't understand
what they can't see.

1368
01:19:12,970 --> 01:19:15,520
Someday direct imaging from
Earth will be possible.

1369
01:19:16,393 --> 01:19:17,993
- I hope I'm around to see that.

1370
01:19:19,500 --> 01:19:22,210
- Unlike Reager, at least you want to see.

1371
01:19:22,210 --> 01:19:24,651
So how long have you worked with him?

1372
01:19:24,651 --> 01:19:27,560
- Of and on about 10 years? Why?

1373
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:28,563
- Do you trust him?

1374
01:19:29,440 --> 01:19:32,270
- That's quite a question
coming from a civilian.

1375
01:19:32,270 --> 01:19:34,270
It's not a matter of trust.

1376
01:19:34,270 --> 01:19:36,880
It's about following the chain of command

1377
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:39,050
- And respecting that chain?

1378
01:19:39,050 --> 01:19:39,893
- Absolutely.

1379
01:19:40,930 --> 01:19:42,350
- I can imagine then you're conflicted

1380
01:19:42,350 --> 01:19:45,707
because you're still wondering
how he decoded the signal.

1381
01:19:45,707 --> 01:19:47,860
What did Reager mean when he said,

1382
01:19:47,860 --> 01:19:48,693
- With everything we know,

1383
01:19:48,693 --> 01:19:51,240
we should have seen this one coming?

1384
01:19:53,273 --> 01:19:55,680
- How the hell did you hear that?

1385
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:56,820
You were across the room?

1386
01:19:56,820 --> 01:19:59,513
- It doesn't matter, what
does is what he meant.

1387
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:03,240
- Cedric, I've enjoyed our talk,

1388
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:06,550
but I am not disclosing
classified information.

1389
01:20:06,550 --> 01:20:09,240
I think you can wait for your ride alone.

1390
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:11,730
- Information that in addition
to anti-gravity propulsion,

1391
01:20:11,730 --> 01:20:13,430
the satellite had stealth technology

1392
01:20:13,430 --> 01:20:16,700
and in fact, disappeared
right in front of the X-37.

1393
01:20:16,700 --> 01:20:18,420
You remember what I told him?

1394
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:21,650
How long the satellite has been in orbit?

1395
01:20:22,659 --> 01:20:24,860
It could be one year, it could be 100.

1396
01:20:24,860 --> 01:20:26,010
It could be a thousand.

1397
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:29,480
- Neither one of you have any idea,

1398
01:20:29,480 --> 01:20:32,480
and it's been the subject
of numerous conversations.

1399
01:20:32,480 --> 01:20:34,863
There is something we both
know that Reager doesn't.

1400
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:37,380
You're sure it wasn't Earth-based signal

1401
01:20:37,380 --> 01:20:39,680
that reflected off some
piece of space debris?

1402
01:20:43,325 --> 01:20:46,694
When I asked you that you turned
ashen white, just like now.

1403
01:20:46,694 --> 01:20:49,110
It was that moment when
you and I made a connection.

1404
01:20:49,110 --> 01:20:50,700
Simply you lied to Reager either

1405
01:20:50,700 --> 01:20:52,500
because you didn't
understand what you detected

1406
01:20:52,500 --> 01:20:54,100
or didn't want to understand it.

1407
01:20:55,352 --> 01:20:56,840
If the signal originated
on earth from say,

1408
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:59,920
a radio telescope, that would
have been a different story.

1409
01:20:59,920 --> 01:21:02,490
The transmission originated
in the atmosphere

1410
01:21:02,490 --> 01:21:05,260
to the satellite at LG2 through Milstar,

1411
01:21:05,260 --> 01:21:07,090
and back to its origin.

1412
01:21:07,090 --> 01:21:08,440
- How do you know all this?

1413
01:21:09,610 --> 01:21:10,740
- Because I sent it

1414
01:21:13,721 --> 01:21:15,820
You know, as well as I
that signals intelligence

1415
01:21:15,820 --> 01:21:17,630
didn't decrypt the transmission.

1416
01:21:17,630 --> 01:21:19,270
Your civilian self probably wanted to know

1417
01:21:19,270 --> 01:21:21,190
how decryption was possible,

1418
01:21:21,190 --> 01:21:24,440
but your military training told
you to just follow command,

1419
01:21:24,440 --> 01:21:26,930
but something, something told you

1420
01:21:26,930 --> 01:21:29,203
to report the origin of
the signal differently.

1421
01:21:30,878 --> 01:21:35,140
"With everything we
know," what did he mean?

1422
01:21:35,140 --> 01:21:37,677
- I could go to jail for this.

1423
01:21:37,677 --> 01:21:39,870
- You're already in a jail of conflict,

1424
01:21:39,870 --> 01:21:41,420
an untenable command structure.

1425
01:21:44,090 --> 01:21:47,120
- It's not that I didn't
want to understand.

1426
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:48,513
I didn't want him to.

1427
01:21:49,580 --> 01:21:52,703
He's beyond obsessed with
anti-gravity propulsion.

1428
01:21:53,910 --> 01:21:56,150
He brought me and some
others in several years ago

1429
01:21:56,150 --> 01:21:58,280
to go through everything
we had on the subject,

1430
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:01,650
from Project Sign, Grudge and Blue Book

1431
01:22:01,650 --> 01:22:04,470
to black opps aerospace programs.

1432
01:22:04,470 --> 01:22:06,850
He even once showed us a video

1433
01:22:06,850 --> 01:22:11,510
of something flying at a
headwind of over 120 knots.

1434
01:22:11,510 --> 01:22:14,003
I say something because
it's still unidentified.

1435
01:22:15,530 --> 01:22:17,080
All of us were caught up in it.

1436
01:22:18,910 --> 01:22:20,590
- How far did you get?

1437
01:22:20,590 --> 01:22:24,700
- Theoretically, we made
some solid progress.

1438
01:22:24,700 --> 01:22:26,440
When he had his transfer everything we had

1439
01:22:26,440 --> 01:22:27,990
to a working group at Wright-Patterson,

1440
01:22:27,990 --> 01:22:30,890
we were led to believe it was
to benefit the F-35 program.

1441
01:22:32,050 --> 01:22:34,620
We heard nothing for months,

1442
01:22:34,620 --> 01:22:38,180
then this signal brought us
all back to General Reager.

1443
01:22:38,180 --> 01:22:39,710
- Compartmentalize.

1444
01:22:39,710 --> 01:22:41,740
One group does one thing,
another does something else,

1445
01:22:41,740 --> 01:22:43,520
but only a handful, know everything.

1446
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:45,043
Classic military structure.

1447
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,340
- I've been honest with you Cedric.

1448
01:22:48,340 --> 01:22:50,970
Now you need to be honest with me.

1449
01:22:50,970 --> 01:22:53,393
How did you send this signal?

1450
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:56,610
- How is a matter of science.

1451
01:22:56,610 --> 01:22:58,140
But make no mistake,

1452
01:22:58,140 --> 01:23:01,430
there's no coincidence that
your group received a signal.

1453
01:23:01,430 --> 01:23:02,360
We knew you were monitoring

1454
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:04,657
that particular Milstar satellite.

1455
01:23:04,657 --> 01:23:07,470
(birds tweeting)

1456
01:23:07,470 --> 01:23:08,363
- Oh my God.

1457
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:13,450
You worked for General Reager, don't you?

1458
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:17,033
This was all about
intelligence, wasn't it?

1459
01:23:17,930 --> 01:23:20,220
We've been hearing about security sweeps,

1460
01:23:20,220 --> 01:23:24,360
surprise base inspections,
national security.

1461
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:29,153
Oh my God. What have I gotten into?

1462
01:23:30,410 --> 01:23:34,030
- Ellen, I don't work for Reager,

1463
01:23:34,030 --> 01:23:35,710
but yes, this is about intelligence.

1464
01:23:35,710 --> 01:23:36,653
We need your help.

1465
01:23:37,500 --> 01:23:38,333
- My help?

1466
01:23:39,210 --> 01:23:40,723
Wait, we?

1467
01:23:42,201 --> 01:23:45,833
- In your line of work, do
the years, 1947 in 1972,

1468
01:23:45,833 --> 01:23:47,267
have any meaning to you?

1469
01:23:53,180 --> 01:23:57,360
- '47 was operation Blue Nose.

1470
01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:59,960
And while that ridiculous Roswell story

1471
01:23:59,960 --> 01:24:04,360
and '72 was when the Apollo program ended.

1472
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:06,410
- Do you know why it ended?

1473
01:24:06,410 --> 01:24:09,632
- Everyone knows that, to
develop the space shuttle.

1474
01:24:09,632 --> 01:24:11,773
(Cedric laughing)

1475
01:24:11,773 --> 01:24:15,330
(birds tweeting)

1476
01:24:15,330 --> 01:24:16,370
What the...

1477
01:24:21,190 --> 01:24:23,083
There's someone at the end of the field.

1478
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:25,961
- I know.

1479
01:24:25,961 --> 01:24:27,188
(ominous music)

1480
01:24:27,188 --> 01:24:28,130
(birds tweeting)

1481
01:24:28,130 --> 01:24:30,630
My involvement in all this
started before the war.

1482
01:24:31,650 --> 01:24:32,483
- Iraq?

1483
01:24:33,650 --> 01:24:34,483
- World War II.

1484
01:24:38,020 --> 01:24:40,420
There was a justifiable concern
that after two millennia,

1485
01:24:40,420 --> 01:24:43,260
your technology wasn't progressing fast enough.

1486
01:24:43,260 --> 01:24:45,120
If something happened to
ours, for whatever reason,

1487
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:46,830
there was no backstop.

1488
01:24:46,830 --> 01:24:49,630
How did Sagan say it,
"In all this vastness,

1489
01:24:49,630 --> 01:24:51,590
there was no hint that help
will come from elsewhere

1490
01:24:51,590 --> 01:24:53,067
to save us from ourselves."

1491
01:24:54,950 --> 01:24:58,980
So a decision was made to advance
certain fields of science.

1492
01:24:58,980 --> 01:25:01,090
I was sent to the Peenemunde
Army Research Center

1493
01:25:01,090 --> 01:25:02,607
in Germany.

1494
01:25:02,607 --> 01:25:05,350
It was truly the Cape Kennedy of its day.

1495
01:25:05,350 --> 01:25:07,800
Under the guise of a visiting scientist,

1496
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:09,400
I offered assistance here and there,

1497
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:11,983
particularly in areas of
propulsion and guidance.

1498
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:14,370
Well, I got caught up in my work

1499
01:25:14,370 --> 01:25:16,370
and showed them things I shouldn't have.

1500
01:25:17,242 --> 01:25:19,180
When I refused to cooperate further.

1501
01:25:19,180 --> 01:25:21,663
I was arrested and sent
to a concentration camp.

1502
01:25:24,050 --> 01:25:25,250
You can imagine my disgust

1503
01:25:25,250 --> 01:25:28,090
when Reager was talking
about identification,

1504
01:25:28,090 --> 01:25:29,940
not from my people, but the millions.

1505
01:25:31,130 --> 01:25:32,830
The millions that never went home.

1506
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:37,990
Well, after the camp was liberated,

1507
01:25:37,990 --> 01:25:41,683
I found myself alone in the
field, just waiting to go home.

1508
01:25:43,070 --> 01:25:45,960
The German scientists were
repatriated to the United States

1509
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:48,853
and continued their work or
should I say some of my work.

1510
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:51,360
There was no choice, but to monitor

1511
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:53,560
all military installations
for developments.

1512
01:25:55,150 --> 01:25:58,150
A couple of years after the war
a patrol went down in Roswell,

1513
01:25:59,850 --> 01:26:01,270
for more reasons than I can count,

1514
01:26:01,270 --> 01:26:03,840
It was impossible to retrieve
certain remains of the crew

1515
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,800
and the aircraft's propulsion
and stealth technologies.

1516
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:09,900
We had high hopes during the 1960s though.

1517
01:26:10,890 --> 01:26:12,910
Perhaps the seeds of
science planted in war

1518
01:26:12,910 --> 01:26:14,160
would come back in peace.

1519
01:26:15,270 --> 01:26:18,370
When first contact was
finally made in 1969,

1520
01:26:18,370 --> 01:26:21,010
everything seemed to be
progressing the way we wanted.

1521
01:26:21,010 --> 01:26:22,640
Oh, there were concerns
in various governments

1522
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:24,190
to say nothing of the military,

1523
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:27,950
but Synedrion Council
felt they had to proceed,

1524
01:26:27,950 --> 01:26:31,070
that living in the shadows
was no longer an option.

1525
01:26:31,070 --> 01:26:33,120
In 1972, they agreed to meet with your

1526
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,440
United Nations security council

1527
01:26:35,440 --> 01:26:39,090
to pave the way for revelation
that mankind is not alone.

1528
01:26:39,090 --> 01:26:40,440
First contact, if you will.

1529
01:26:41,420 --> 01:26:44,280
The military escort never
brought them to that meeting.

1530
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,230
We've been looking for them ever since.

1531
01:26:47,670 --> 01:26:49,170
You can only imagine my guilt.

1532
01:26:50,030 --> 01:26:52,460
It didn't matter what our
involvement was in your world

1533
01:26:52,460 --> 01:26:53,370
or our technology.

1534
01:26:53,370 --> 01:26:54,680
We couldn't find them.

1535
01:26:55,870 --> 01:26:58,290
It was Griffin's idea for the signal.

1536
01:26:58,290 --> 01:27:00,033
We had to know who would surface.

1537
01:27:00,950 --> 01:27:03,330
Signal was too tempting for Reager.

1538
01:27:03,330 --> 01:27:05,870
He knew there was only one
group that could decrypt it.

1539
01:27:05,870 --> 01:27:06,960
- Group?

1540
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,783
- Our parents, the ones
your military kidnapped.

1541
01:27:11,756 --> 01:27:14,393
- (scoffs) Oh, come on. Seriously?

1542
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:19,230
You don't honestly expect me
to believe any of this, do you?

1543
01:27:20,556 --> 01:27:23,272
- I only expect you to
believe what you can see?

1544
01:27:23,272 --> 01:27:26,022
(dramatic music)

1545
01:27:33,610 --> 01:27:35,947
- Governor, you asked for this?

1546
01:27:35,947 --> 01:27:36,947
- Thank you.

1547
01:27:37,860 --> 01:27:39,410
- Good to see you again, Major.

1548
01:27:40,625 --> 01:27:42,096
- Where there any problems?

1549
01:27:42,096 --> 01:27:44,706
- Aside from the curator? None.

1550
01:27:44,706 --> 01:27:46,570
(laughter)

1551
01:27:46,570 --> 01:27:49,460
- I'm not laughing. What did he call you?

1552
01:27:49,460 --> 01:27:50,540
- Governor.

1553
01:27:50,540 --> 01:27:51,533
- Governor of what?

1554
01:27:52,810 --> 01:27:54,360
- You haven't told her?

1555
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:55,883
- Nearly everything, but.

1556
01:27:56,910 --> 01:28:00,140
- Major, Cedric Yonah, is the
Governor of Dominion Earth

1557
01:28:00,140 --> 01:28:02,477
and Premier of the Synedrion Council.

1558
01:28:02,477 --> 01:28:03,764
(birds tweeting)

1559
01:28:03,764 --> 01:28:05,910
- I thought you said it was
your parents on this council

1560
01:28:05,910 --> 01:28:06,800
or whatever.

1561
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:10,510
- They were. We ascended
after they disappeared.

1562
01:28:10,510 --> 01:28:13,140
James let's keep an open
comm for transparency.

1563
01:28:13,140 --> 01:28:15,042
Was there anything else?

1564
01:28:15,042 --> 01:28:16,490
- During your conference with the council,

1565
01:28:16,490 --> 01:28:17,750
Central monitored Reager's calls

1566
01:28:17,750 --> 01:28:20,410
from Chievres Air Base to Patterson AFB,

1567
01:28:20,410 --> 01:28:23,550
on his order GPS and Sat comm Directorate,

1568
01:28:23,550 --> 01:28:25,210
Echelon and the Deep Space Network

1569
01:28:25,210 --> 01:28:27,360
received new detection programming.

1570
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:30,380
To avoid intercept, Central
has rerouted all comm traffic

1571
01:28:30,380 --> 01:28:31,663
to the secondary grid.

1572
01:28:32,762 --> 01:28:34,263
- That should buy us some time.

1573
01:28:35,812 --> 01:28:39,110
- Reager also inquired about
your whereabouts Major Sampson.

1574
01:28:40,580 --> 01:28:42,830
Now civilian agencies and
military installations

1575
01:28:42,830 --> 01:28:44,460
in the region are on
high alert over a radar

1576
01:28:44,460 --> 01:28:46,360
and communications blackout.

1577
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:47,800
The United States and United Kingdom's

1578
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:50,930
are claiming it's Russian
retaliation over the G7.

1579
01:28:50,930 --> 01:28:53,820
The Belgian authorities claim
it's a terrorist attack.

1580
01:28:53,820 --> 01:28:56,100
NATO has elevated its
alert readiness to Amber.

1581
01:28:56,100 --> 01:28:59,033
And F-16s have been
scrambled from Melsbroek AB.

1582
01:28:59,890 --> 01:29:03,300
Central will hold the
blackout until our departure.

1583
01:29:03,300 --> 01:29:06,450
- My God. How do you know all this?

1584
01:29:06,450 --> 01:29:09,503
- Why? X-ray communications, Major.

1585
01:29:13,220 --> 01:29:14,683
- Keep your eye on Cedric.

1586
01:29:18,030 --> 01:29:22,381
- That's not hard sir.
He's keeping them on me.

1587
01:29:22,381 --> 01:29:25,631
- If an opportunity
presents itself, take it.

1588
01:29:25,631 --> 01:29:28,214
We need to know more about him.

1589
01:29:32,150 --> 01:29:33,280
- Thank you, James.

1590
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:36,663
- Of course. Major, I look
forward to our next meeting.

1591
01:29:42,990 --> 01:29:43,823
Governor.

1592
01:29:52,950 --> 01:29:54,350
- There's a hanger at Wright-Patterson

1593
01:29:54,350 --> 01:29:55,860
that we can't see through.

1594
01:29:55,860 --> 01:29:57,557
That's why we need your help.

1595
01:29:58,523 --> 01:30:00,530
- What about your X-ray communications?

1596
01:30:00,530 --> 01:30:05,410
- Don't mock me. I'm in no mood for it.

1597
01:30:05,410 --> 01:30:07,850
It's sheathed in the
same materials we use.

1598
01:30:07,850 --> 01:30:10,233
The crash of 47, the stealth technology,

1599
01:30:11,218 --> 01:30:12,300
if you know how to manufacture it,

1600
01:30:12,300 --> 01:30:14,983
it's easily adaptable to
structures and satellites.

1601
01:30:16,050 --> 01:30:18,563
Ellen, I can't stress
this next point enough.

1602
01:30:19,590 --> 01:30:21,910
I know you've heard some
fantastic stories today.

1603
01:30:21,910 --> 01:30:24,760
And by the look on your face,
you don't believe any of them.

1604
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:27,590
But if Reager is developing
what I think he is,

1605
01:30:27,590 --> 01:30:30,680
the balance of power could
shift in such a direction

1606
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:33,853
that life on this planet,
as we know it, will be over.

1607
01:30:35,110 --> 01:30:37,500
Think, has it ever, ever occurred to you,

1608
01:30:37,500 --> 01:30:39,970
why the United States has
built a military complex

1609
01:30:39,970 --> 01:30:42,500
that could destroy the
world 10 times over.

1610
01:30:42,500 --> 01:30:45,410
Please don't tell me it's
because of the Soviet Union.

1611
01:30:45,410 --> 01:30:47,000
It's because they know they aren't alone,

1612
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,653
and paranoia is driving
this uncontrollable madness.

1613
01:30:51,370 --> 01:30:53,465
We need to know where our parents are

1614
01:30:53,465 --> 01:30:55,247
and what's in that hanger.

1615
01:30:55,247 --> 01:30:57,363
I confess I'm running out of patience,

1616
01:30:58,220 --> 01:31:01,210
but the alternative to
patience is not an option.

1617
01:31:01,210 --> 01:31:04,690
I've seen war in all its
ugliness, too many times.

1618
01:31:04,690 --> 01:31:07,210
The lines of peace need to be drawn here,

1619
01:31:07,210 --> 01:31:10,952
between us, on this field, in this moment.

1620
01:31:10,952 --> 01:31:13,535
(tense music)

1621
01:31:14,550 --> 01:31:16,160
You sadly deal in absolutes

1622
01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:18,013
because the unknown terrifies you.

1623
01:31:19,370 --> 01:31:22,760
- General, if I sign this,

1624
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:24,803
what's the objective of Operation Troy?

1625
01:31:26,110 --> 01:31:26,960
- Identification.

1626
01:31:30,438 --> 01:31:31,771
(birds tweeting)

1627
01:31:31,771 --> 01:31:34,354
(tense music)

1628
01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:45,820
- So help me, God,

1629
01:31:45,820 --> 01:31:48,773
what you've said is either
all true or all a lie.

1630
01:31:51,350 --> 01:31:56,030
All my years of training
have told me to listen,

1631
01:31:56,030 --> 01:31:58,633
stay calm and to act decisively.

1632
01:32:00,530 --> 01:32:03,513
But the oath I took,
isn't just a set of words.

1633
01:32:05,110 --> 01:32:08,763
General Reager is one thing,
but the president is another.

1634
01:32:10,140 --> 01:32:13,683
I cannot pledge my allegiance
on just your words alone.

1635
01:32:14,676 --> 01:32:16,270
- Then you need to ask yourself,

1636
01:32:16,270 --> 01:32:18,750
once you eliminate the
impossible whatever remains,

1637
01:32:18,750 --> 01:32:21,100
no matter how improbable,
must be the truth.

1638
01:32:22,785 --> 01:32:24,103
- Doveryai, no proveryai.

1639
01:32:25,510 --> 01:32:26,913
- Trust, but verify.

1640
01:32:28,614 --> 01:32:32,680
- This is exactly what they
want. How can you trust her?

1641
01:32:32,680 --> 01:32:33,880
- How can I not try?

1642
01:32:39,185 --> 01:32:42,175
Can you see the forest for the trees?

1643
01:32:42,175 --> 01:32:44,758
(dramtic music)

1644
01:32:51,379 --> 01:32:54,879
(airplane engine humming)

1645
01:32:59,467 --> 01:33:02,217
(dramatic music)

1646
01:33:51,615 --> 01:33:52,698
- Oh, my God.

1647
01:33:55,780 --> 01:34:00,030
You told us everything in
that meeting, everything.

1648
01:34:03,583 --> 01:34:06,957
- You only hear what, not what you should.

1649
01:34:09,222 --> 01:34:11,805
(dramatic music)

1650
01:34:17,169 --> 01:34:18,545
You only believe what you see.

1651
01:34:18,545 --> 01:34:21,295
(dramatic music)

1652
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:34,433
This is for you.

1653
01:34:39,430 --> 01:34:41,523
NASA can verify its authenticity.

1654
01:34:42,420 --> 01:34:44,823
If you can help us,
Griffin is your contact.

1655
01:34:46,770 --> 01:34:47,603
- Thank you.

1656
01:34:51,258 --> 01:34:53,841
(dramatic music)

1657
01:34:59,110 --> 01:35:00,787
- How old are you?

1658
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:09,210
- Old enough to never forget.

1659
01:35:11,100 --> 01:35:12,700
- Why are you here?

1660
01:35:12,700 --> 01:35:13,533
- Answers.

1661
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:17,523
You honestly don't believe we're
the only ones here, do you?

1662
01:35:18,580 --> 01:35:20,153
- Where are you from?

1663
01:35:23,399 --> 01:35:24,232
- Earth.

1664
01:35:28,109 --> 01:35:30,859
(dramatic music)

1665
01:37:30,894 --> 01:37:33,561
(door shutting)

1666
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:39,130
- General Reager, please.

1667
01:37:44,282 --> 01:37:45,690
(Reager bangs the phone)

1668
01:37:45,690 --> 01:37:46,730
- What is it?

1669
01:37:46,730 --> 01:37:48,843
- Sampson signal has reappeared.

1670
01:37:50,130 --> 01:37:50,963
- Where?

1671
01:37:52,145 --> 01:37:56,183
- A field. 10 kilometers from the city.

1672
01:38:00,347 --> 01:38:03,097
(dramatic music)

1673
01:39:01,330 --> 01:39:03,913
(soft music)

1674
01:41:26,994 --> 01:41:29,744
(dramatic music)

1675
01:41:45,832 --> 01:41:48,479
(door opening)

1676
01:41:48,479 --> 01:41:49,430
- Do you have any idea what he wants?

1677
01:41:49,430 --> 01:41:52,850
- No. He just wanted, more like
demanded a meeting.

1678
01:41:52,850 --> 01:41:55,350
- And he flew from Colorado to Brussels?

1679
01:41:55,350 --> 01:41:56,700
- Well, it must be important.

1680
01:41:57,900 --> 01:41:58,733
- Bill.

1681
01:41:58,733 --> 01:41:59,617
- Yes, Madam president.

1682
01:41:59,617 --> 01:42:01,117
- I need a moment.

1683
01:42:05,460 --> 01:42:08,090
- If Reager learns what brought
a Holocaust to your world

1684
01:42:08,090 --> 01:42:09,270
you're going to have to explain to this one,

1685
01:42:09,270 --> 01:42:10,160
why your people who've been here

1686
01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:12,360
for the last 2000 plus years.

1687
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:14,420
- That's why it's imperative
we find our parents.

1688
01:42:14,420 --> 01:42:15,810
If they talked under pressure or-

1689
01:42:15,810 --> 01:42:18,810
- Elisabeth, I understand,
but understand me,

1690
01:42:18,810 --> 01:42:21,670
I'm only interested in
protecting this planet

1691
01:42:21,670 --> 01:42:24,193
or as you people call it, the First World.

1692
01:42:26,145 --> 01:42:29,228
(footsteps thumping)

1693
01:42:45,766 --> 01:42:48,433
(door shutting)
