1. Commodore William said I'd find you here.Copy !req
2. Is there a problem, sir?Copy !req
3. Is this your first command?Copy !req
4. May I ask what this is about?Copy !req
5. Oh, let me rephrase.
This is your first command.Copy !req
6. Top man in your class
at the Royal Naval College,Copy !req
7. top man of the last ten years.Copy !req
8. According to Admiral Cannon,
you're the belle of the ball.Copy !req
9. Sir, if you're headhunting for MI5—Copy !req
10. I don't work for MI5.
So, what do you think?Copy !req
11. - What do I think about what, sir?
- That.Copy !req
12. Fastest destroyer on the water,
Sea Viper air defense,Copy !req
13. best-in-class radar system.Copy !req
14. I'm not asking for the press release.
I'm asking what you think.Copy !req
15. I think you're not
my superior officer, sir.Copy !req
16. I think I don't have to answer
your questions, sir.Copy !req
17. Ask yourself why I'd come
all the way to fucking Govan to find you.Copy !req
18. Why would I,
and I'm the busiest man you ever met,Copy !req
19. spend hours talking
to your commanding officers,Copy !req
20. your college instructors,Copy !req
21. and every other boat cunt
you met along the way?Copy !req
22. I'm flattered, sir.Copy !req
23. But I don't discuss highly sensitive
naval operations with strangers.Copy !req
24. Well, you could ask to see my ID.Copy !req
25. That'd tell you who I am and where I work.Copy !req
26. But if you ask to see my ID,Copy !req
27. I'll know you're a sackless wonder
like every other top Navy man I ever met.Copy !req
28. May I see your ID, sir?Copy !req
29. This ship was designed
for 20th century conflict, Mr. Wade.Copy !req
30. It's too expensive for asymmetric
encounters with non-state actors.Copy !req
31. It's too vulnerable to cheap munitions,Copy !req
32. and it burns
4,000 liters of diesel an hour.Copy !req
33. If you gave me
a billion pounds for naval defense,Copy !req
34. I'd spend it on a few thousand
aerial drones instead of that.Copy !req
35. Why did you join the Navy?Copy !req
36. To defend my country.Copy !req
37. What I need you for is far more important.Copy !req
38. You said they weren't coming
for over 400 years.Copy !req
39. So how do you know they're gonna be nice?Copy !req
40. Nice?Copy !req
41. Usually, when people
with more advanced technologyCopy !req
42. encounter people
with more primitive technology,Copy !req
43. doesn't work out well for the primitives.Copy !req
44. You're the good cop?Copy !req
45. Depends who you ask.Copy !req
46. Where's the bad cop?Copy !req
47. Watching.Copy !req
48. So, 15th of August 1977, E.T. phoned home.Copy !req
49. You got a reply from the aliens?Copy !req
50. Yes.Copy !req
51. From the San-Ti listener
who received my message.Copy !req
52. The San-Ti, he...
it told you, "Don't do this."Copy !req
53. "This will be bad for your people."
But you did it anyway.Copy !req
54. - I did.
- Why?Copy !req
55. Because our civilization is no longer
capable of solving its own problems.Copy !req
56. They've got at least
ten undercover cops guarding us.Copy !req
57. That's not enough.Copy !req
58. You think they're still after us?Copy !req
59. I led the cops right to them.Copy !req
60. So... yeah.Copy !req
61. Are you sure
you wanna be taking all those?Copy !req
62. - They're for anxiety.
- I know.Copy !req
63. - I have anxiety.
- I know.Copy !req
64. People are trying to kill us.
And maybe aliens are.Copy !req
65. I know, but I'm sure they're not meant
to be popped like candy.Copy !req
66. Auggie, I love you, but can you fuck off?Copy !req
67. Now I remember
why we stopped living together.Copy !req
68. Just let me have my pills
and my shitty muesli, bitch.Copy !req
69. Why is Raj not here,
protecting us in his hot little uniform?Copy !req
70. He's on some secret mission.Copy !req
71. I see him one day a week.Copy !req
72. I don't really know
what's goin' on with him.Copy !req
73. I thought I knew Vera's mum.Copy !req
74. You know, she used to make me
gan guo potatoes at OxfordCopy !req
75. when I was feeling homesick.Copy !req
76. She was like my sweet, old auntie.Copy !req
77. Fuck, man.Copy !req
78. She's known us forever.Copy !req
79. Yep.Copy !req
80. They're moving us around
like... like, with strings, um...Copy !req
81. - What's the—
- Puppets?Copy !req
82. Puppets!
How do I forget that word?Copy !req
83. I'm not gonna be
a fucking puppet anymore.Copy !req
84. So, um, we're gonna defeat the aliens?Copy !req
85. Well, of course it sounds stupid
when you say it like that.Copy !req
86. How long do you think
they're gonna keep us here?Copy !req
87. Don't know.Copy !req
88. - Until it's safe, I guess.
- And when is that gonna be?Copy !req
89. No, I don't know.Copy !req
90. For a genius, you don't know much.Copy !req
91. More time with the good cop?Copy !req
92. Tea? Coffee?Copy !req
93. - Well, everything you told me checks out.Copy !req
94. You've been very cooperative.Copy !req
95. Why?Copy !req
96. The Lord allowed you to capture me.Copy !req
97. Which means I'm no longer valuable,Copy !req
98. which means... what I know is not a threat.Copy !req
99. Does that bother you?Copy !req
100. Do I want to believe
in my own importance? Of course.Copy !req
101. I have my vanity. I'm sure you do too.Copy !req
102. Maybe not in your appearance.Copy !req
103. But I don't matter anymore.Copy !req
104. You don't matter.Copy !req
105. The people watching don't matter.Copy !req
106. All that matters is this.Copy !req
107. They are coming.Copy !req
108. What about Evans?Copy !req
109. Does he still matter to your Lord?Copy !req
110. I don't know.Copy !req
111. We're right in assuming
he's Vera's father?Copy !req
112. Only in the biological sense.Copy !req
113. You hid the truth from her.Copy !req
114. I did.Copy !req
115. Why?Copy !req
116. Because she wasn't strong enough.Copy !req
117. So you tried to protect her,
but it didn't work out, did it?Copy !req
118. Maybe you're not the good cop after all.Copy !req
119. Maybe Evans told her.Copy !req
120. She never met him.Copy !req
121. The first time he ever looked at her,
she was in her coffin.Copy !req
122. I thought I was a shit dad.Copy !req
123. I'm sure you are.Copy !req
124. When you gave Jin Cheng the VR headset,
you said it belonged to Vera.Copy !req
125. I lied.Copy !req
126. Why recruit Jin Cheng?Copy !req
127. She could be the most capable physicist
of her generation.Copy !req
128. Even better than you?Copy !req
129. No.Copy !req
130. - There is one thing we can't figure out.
- Just one thing?Copy !req
131. It takes four years for a radio signalCopy !req
132. to get from our planet
to their planet, correct?Copy !req
133. And another four to get a response.Copy !req
134. But from what we can tell,
Evans spends most of his life on a ship,Copy !req
135. Judgment Day.Copy !req
136. So, what's he doing?Copy !req
137. Waiting eight years for a callback?Copy !req
138. Now, I'm an idiot, never went to uni,
but I can't make sense of that.Copy !req
139. Unless...Copy !req
140. Unless?Copy !req
141. There is a faster way to communicate.Copy !req
142. But faster-than-light
communication's impossible.Copy !req
143. Impossible for us.Copy !req
144. I wish I could show you
what the future looks like.Copy !req
145. Twenty quid it won't be
as glorious as you're thinking.Copy !req
146. Would you consider yourself
a student of history?Copy !req
147. Uh, it's not my best subject.Copy !req
148. Not that I had one.Copy !req
149. Ever have a DNA test?
Check your heritage?Copy !req
150. I have.Copy !req
151. You know what I am?Copy !req
152. Half jackal?Copy !req
153. European mutt. Boring as fuck.Copy !req
154. Except for this bit. I'm 1% Mongolian.Copy !req
155. We're practically brothers.Copy !req
156. You know what these are, Clarence?
Iron stirrups.Copy !req
157. Almost 1,000 years old.Copy !req
158. Take a look.Copy !req
159. Genghis Khan's army used
metal stirrups before anyone else.Copy !req
160. They fought better
on horseback than the enemy.Copy !req
161. They conquered the world.
They fucked everybody.Copy !req
162. That's why I'm 1% Mongolian.Copy !req
163. How much do
1,000-year-old stirrups go for?Copy !req
164. I don't know.
They were a gift from a Chinese friend.Copy !req
165. A more successful Chinese friend.Copy !req
166. Obviously.Copy !req
167. You did a good job with the old girl.Copy !req
168. She's not hiding anything.Copy !req
169. In her mind, it doesn't matter anymore.Copy !req
170. She underestimates us.Copy !req
171. Either that, or we're fucked.Copy !req
172. If you're right
about Evans keeping a recordCopy !req
173. of his communications with the San-Ti—Copy !req
174. He kept it.
It's like the word of the Lord.Copy !req
175. - It's like the Bible to them.
- We need that Bible.Copy !req
176. We need to find out
everything we can about these cunts.Copy !req
177. We've got 400 years
to come up with a plan,Copy !req
178. but we can't plan without intelligence.Copy !req
179. We need to find out
what kind of stirrups they got.Copy !req
180. Correct.Copy !req
181. It's a hostage operation,
except the hostage is a hard drive,Copy !req
182. or whatever they put their records on.Copy !req
183. It's somewhere on Judgment Day.
That's the only safe place to keep it.Copy !req
184. We need to get our hands on it.Copy !req
185. It's a tough nut.Copy !req
186. We don't know how many people are on board.
Could be over 1,000.Copy !req
187. Traitors to humanity.Copy !req
188. Including kids.Copy !req
189. Yeah, it's a shame
their parents betrayed their own species.Copy !req
190. But there it is.Copy !req
191. How do we neutralize
everyone aboard the shipCopy !req
192. without damaging the data?Copy !req
193. If you're thinkin' Special Forces,Copy !req
194. it'll be a fucking bloodbath
on both sides.Copy !req
195. And they'll probably have time
to destroy the driveCopy !req
196. or whatever before our lads will get it.Copy !req
197. Yeah, it's a nonstarter.Copy !req
198. Missile strike could end up
blowing the bit that we need.Copy !req
199. You could try some type of gas,
but a ship's got far too many air vents.Copy !req
200. You're giving me your shite ideas.Copy !req
201. Oh, I'm sorry. Did you want a good idea?Copy !req
202. Fun fact, did you know
that Judgment Day just booked a slotCopy !req
203. at the Panama Canal Authority
for next month?Copy !req
204. Morale seems good, all things considered.Copy !req
205. Everyone puts on a brave face
when you're around.Copy !req
206. People are worried.Copy !req
207. Of course they are.Copy !req
208. Some of them have got loved ones
in prison. Some are missing.Copy !req
209. A moment like this
is a great test of faith.Copy !req
210. Has your faith been tested?Copy !req
211. We always thought
the Lord was watching over us.Copy !req
212. Unlike the mythical gods
our species has conjured up,Copy !req
213. our Lord truly watches over us.Copy !req
214. But the raid in England...Copy !req
215. I don't understand.Copy !req
216. You have a cat, don't you?Copy !req
217. Does your cat understand
why we're sailing across the Atlantic?Copy !req
218. Forgive me. I...Copy !req
219. The Lord speaks with me every day.Copy !req
220. This raid was no surprise.Copy !req
221. Do you think
they would have allowed it to happenCopy !req
222. if they did not want it to happen?Copy !req
223. No.Copy !req
224. If our comrades
in England were captured or killed,Copy !req
225. that is all part of the Lord's plan.Copy !req
226. Yes. Yes, of course.Copy !req
227. I'll see you later for dinner.Copy !req
228. My Lord?Copy !req
229. I understand if silence
is part of the plan,Copy !req
230. but I continue to serve you.Copy !req
231. We continue to serve you.Copy !req
232. We never lied to you, Lord.Copy !req
233. Never.Copy !req
234. Please.Copy !req
235. Please speak to us again.Copy !req
236. Please, my Lord.Copy !req
237. Well, it's absolutely bang on
for dating the object.Copy !req
238. Some of the best things
from Fabergé are made in the 20th century...Copy !req
239. - Right.
- The age of the motorcar, telephone.Copy !req
240. Even of electricity.Copy !req
241. And here, we have something.
This sort of red...Copy !req
242. - Good one, this one.
- Fuck! Holy shit.Copy !req
243. - Why would you sneak up on me like that?
- Million pound, that.Copy !req
244. Spoiler.Copy !req
245. Stopped at Marks and Sparks on the way.Copy !req
246. Figured they gave you shit to eat.Copy !req
247. Did you find the bitch
who killed Jack?Copy !req
248. No. Not yet.Copy !req
249. Her people keep their secrets
locked away on a big ship.Copy !req
250. If we're gonna get
our hands on those secrets,Copy !req
251. we need you to resume production
on the nanofibers.Copy !req
252. What?Copy !req
253. Do you want justice for Jack?Copy !req
254. - Yes, and it's your job to get it.
- I'm just asking you to go back to work.Copy !req
255. Oh, that's easy for you to say.
They didn't plant a bomb in your brain.Copy !req
256. You're scared. I get it.Copy !req
257. You're right to be scared,Copy !req
258. but we have got one shot
to stop these fuckers,Copy !req
259. and I need your help.Copy !req
260. Why? What are my nanofibers
gonna do against them?Copy !req
261. I can't tell you that.Copy !req
262. So you just want me to trust you?Copy !req
263. Yes.Copy !req
264. You want a smoke?Copy !req
265. - You can't smoke in here.
- Damn, I'll get in trouble.Copy !req
266. That's not gonna help.Copy !req
267. And those cops outside
aren't gonna help either.Copy !req
268. You know that, right?Copy !req
269. There are things
more than four light-years awayCopy !req
270. that can imprint images on my retinas,
so men with guns are not gonna protect me.Copy !req
271. Aliens didn't kill Jack.Copy !req
272. Oh my God. I need a drink.Copy !req
273. Wow.Copy !req
274. - Old school.
- That's me.Copy !req
275. What is it?Copy !req
276. Whiskey.Copy !req
277. It's nasty.Copy !req
278. Can't afford the good shit.Copy !req
279. The numbers.Copy !req
280. Why didn't they come back?Copy !req
281. I think the Lord's stopped
protecting his flock.Copy !req
282. You men and women have been handpicked
by Commander Varma.Copy !req
283. You're the finest engineers
in the Royal Navy,Copy !req
284. which doesn't mean shit to me.Copy !req
285. You're probably wondering why you're
taking orders from a Dubliner in civvies.Copy !req
286. That must be a first, huh?Copy !req
287. You have six days
to complete an engineering project.Copy !req
288. When you've succeeded, there will be
no medals, no public recognition,Copy !req
289. no glory.Copy !req
290. But the next six days
are the most important ones of your lives.Copy !req
291. Do not fuck it up.Copy !req
292. He's a real prick, isn't he?Copy !req
293. - Who says he's real?
- Grab your bags. We're gone.Copy !req
294. You don't think it's weird that he chose
Jin's boyfriend to lead the mission?Copy !req
295. Everything he does is weird.Copy !req
296. - How come you don't have to go?Copy !req
297. - Not my skill set.
- Oh, you have a skill set?Copy !req
298. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
299. A while back, I was,
uh, lead detective on a murder case.Copy !req
300. Yeah, a Mexican bloke
pushed his wife off a cliff.Copy !req
301. Know why he did it?Copy !req
302. Tequila.Copy !req
303. Oh. Hey, Saul. Hey, strange person.Copy !req
304. Hey, bud.Copy !req
305. How you doin'?Copy !req
306. Yeah, good.Copy !req
307. Good.Copy !req
308. Uh, Mr. Pugh. He gave me a ride down here.Copy !req
309. Mr. Downing. I'm Selwin Pugh,
solicitor to the estate of Jack Rooney.Copy !req
310. I'm sorry to bother you on holiday.Copy !req
311. It's just that it's rather urgent,
given the scale of the bequeathment.Copy !req
312. Is that a real word?Copy !req
313. It is, yes.Copy !req
314. Sorry. I'm super high.Copy !req
315. My client, the late Mr. Rooney,
has left you half of his estate,Copy !req
316. which after taxes,
amounts to almost 20 million pounds.Copy !req
317. Once the forms are signed and sent back,Copy !req
318. we'll just need your guidance
about where to deposit the funds.Copy !req
319. - I'll make sure he signs everything.
- Thank you.Copy !req
320. I'll be on my way, then.Copy !req
321. Thanks.Copy !req
322. - Shit.Copy !req
323. You want it?Copy !req
324. I think you know
what Jack would've wanted.Copy !req
325. Find the best oncologist on the planet,
find the latest treatments—Copy !req
326. - Too late for that.
- Give yourself a shot. How do you know?Copy !req
327. I got a second opinion, Saul.
I'm not a fucking idiot.Copy !req
328. It's spread too far.Copy !req
329. The time I've got left,
I don't wanna just fucking fly around,Copy !req
330. getting jabbed and prodded and scanned.Copy !req
331. I just wanna, like,
look at the sky, you know?Copy !req
332. Eat some good food.Copy !req
333. Have a few really good weeks
before it all gets too rough.Copy !req
334. I get it.Copy !req
335. I'd do the same thing.Copy !req
336. Are you hungry?Copy !req
337. - I'm starving.Copy !req
338. You know, there's a Cornish pasty shop,
just down the road.Copy !req
339. I love Cornish pasties.Copy !req
340. We could buy five million if you want.Copy !req
341. Topside, this is diver one.Copy !req
342. Side winches in place,
starboard winches being installed.Copy !req
343. Roger. Portside pillar is on-site.Copy !req
344. Connection of portside fibers
commencing in ten minutes.Copy !req
345. Once fibers are at full tension,
we can retract the sheets. Be careful.Copy !req
346. We need to age it
before we add the nanofiber apparatus.Copy !req
347. Another layer of rust.
Make it look like it's 30 years old. Yeah?Copy !req
348. All on track?Copy !req
349. Yes, sir.Copy !req
350. Twenty-six hours till Judgment Day.Copy !req
351. You good?Copy !req
352. I'm fine.Copy !req
353. I'm not sure
this is Commander Varma's forte.Copy !req
354. Double-check his work.Copy !req
355. How many people are on board?Copy !req
356. - We don't know.
- Anybody from the Canal Authority?Copy !req
357. The pilot.Copy !req
358. He's required to accompany the ship
all the way to the Pacific.Copy !req
359. Can't we...Copy !req
360. Is there any way that we can warn him?Copy !req
361. You know how many people died
building this canal?Copy !req
362. Nobody does.Copy !req
363. Best estimates are
between five and 20,000.Copy !req
364. Malaria and yellow fever got most of them.Copy !req
365. But there were landslides,
dynamite accidents, and drownings.Copy !req
366. It was a real shit show,
but those poor fucksCopy !req
367. kept digging until it was done.Copy !req
368. Which do you think
is more important to the human race,Copy !req
369. a canal or defeating an enemy coming
to our world to take it for themselves?Copy !req
370. I don't trust her.
Triple-check all her work.Copy !req
371. How many people are on that ship?Copy !req
372. I don't know.Copy !req
373. You're a naval guy.Copy !req
374. You know what type of ship,
how big the crew is. Right?Copy !req
375. It's not a naval ship.
It's a converted oil tanker.Copy !req
376. If the systems are fully automated,
it could be a pretty small crew.Copy !req
377. Just give me a guess.Copy !req
378. I don't know.Copy !req
379. Well, maybe it won't work.Copy !req
380. Why wouldn't it work?Copy !req
381. Because we've never made fibers
this long before.Copy !req
382. We've never tested underwater.
We don't know if the supports will hold—Copy !req
383. The supports will hold.Copy !req
384. You want it to work.Copy !req
385. Of course I want it to work.Copy !req
386. Even though you don't know
how many people we're going to kill?Copy !req
387. You don't know anything about them.
who they are,Copy !req
388. what their names are,
or why they deserve to die.Copy !req
389. But I know it's important.Copy !req
390. - They wouldn't have sent us—
- They? Who's they?Copy !req
391. Wade? Who the fuck is Wade?
Who are Wade's bosses?Copy !req
392. They are telling us to kill people
we don't know for reasons we don't know,Copy !req
393. and you're just like, "Yeah, cool"?Copy !req
394. I'm not like you.Copy !req
395. I didn't sign up for this.Copy !req
396. You understand this stuff
better than I do.Copy !req
397. You're military.Copy !req
398. So what do you think is happening?Copy !req
399. I think we're at war.Copy !req
400. That's the last one. Let's go.Copy !req
401. Charlie, Charlie One. All call signs go.Copy !req
402. Proceed, Charlie, Charlie One.
We're all a go.Copy !req
403. Just checking on three-one now.Copy !req
404. You okay?Copy !req
405. Here she comes.Copy !req
406. - That's right.Copy !req
407. It's not working.Copy !req
408. Why isn't it working?Copy !req
409. It is.Copy !req
410. Hey, look!Copy !req
411. Look!Copy !req
412. What was that?Copy !req
413. I don't know.
Did we schedule a fire drill?Copy !req
414. Go!Copy !req
415. Felix!Copy !req
416. Are we under attack?Copy !req
417. Sir!Copy !req
418. Forgive me, my Lord.Copy !req
419. Congratulations, Dr. Salazar.Copy !req
420. Mr. Wade,
Commander Varma, we found him!Copy !req
421. Thanks.Copy !req
422. Still nothing?Copy !req
423. It's only been two weeks.Copy !req
424. Only?Copy !req
425. I told Wade.Copy !req
426. - He wouldn't listen.
- How long is it gonna take?Copy !req
427. Don't think. Guess.Copy !req
428. Assuming quantum encryption
20 years ahead of ours,Copy !req
429. median time would beCopy !req
430. 3.8 trillion years.Copy !req
431. Don't fuck about.Copy !req
432. Hmm. Could strike it lucky.Copy !req
433. 3.8 billion years?Copy !req
434. You could crack it open.Copy !req
435. - Crack it open?
- Yeah.Copy !req
436. Have a look inside.
Maybe you'd learn something.Copy !req
437. I'm not gonna crack it open.Copy !req
438. Well, it's worth fuck all
if you can't get out what's inside.Copy !req
439. As I said from the beginning,Copy !req
440. brute-force cryptography
just isn't gonna—Copy !req
441. What happened?Copy !req
442. It's open.Copy !req
443. You didn't do anything.Copy !req
444. It opened because they want us
to see what's inside.Copy !req
445. Twenty-eight gigs
of text and media files?Copy !req
446. Isn't that less than my phone?Copy !req
447. Maybe not your phone.Copy !req
448. What about that?Copy !req
449. Not familiar with the file type.Copy !req
450. It's 100 petabytes.Copy !req
451. - I don't know what that means—
- It means 100 million gigabytes.Copy !req
452. That's more than my phone.Copy !req
453. The sound it made.
Well, you wouldn't have liked it.Copy !req
454. Like God's fingernails
scraping his chalkboard.Copy !req
455. Anyway, sorry for your loss.Copy !req
456. Although it sounds like
he wasn't much help around the house.Copy !req
457. You said your space friends
let us break up their organizationCopy !req
458. and get our hands on you.Copy !req
459. Did they let us do this too?Copy !req
460. - Yes.
- Why?Copy !req
461. Why would they let us destroy their ship
and kill your boyfriend?Copy !req
462. Their reasons are
beyond my ability to comprehend.Copy !req
463. That's all right.Copy !req
464. I know they're coming
to save us from ourselves.Copy !req
465. I know they're the only ones who can.Copy !req
466. Be careful with what you know.
That's where most people's troubles begin.Copy !req
467. I know some things too.Copy !req
468. Oh right. I did just say
be careful with that.Copy !req
469. Still, I think you'd be interested
in the things I know.Copy !req
470. You're here to shatter my belief,Copy !req
471. but it's stronger than you are
because they are stronger than you are.Copy !req
472. You've gone from "know" to "believe"
in half a minute, but that's okay.Copy !req
473. Faith's good. I have faith too.Copy !req
474. Faith that when they get here,
we're gonna wipe them out.Copy !req
475. Your faith seems even more ridiculous
to me than mine must to you.Copy !req
476. Ah, but that goes back to what I know.
Remember that from half a minute ago?Copy !req
477. Things you'd like to know.Copy !req
478. Like why did they let us destroy
their ship and kill their followersCopy !req
479. and break up your party and arrest you?Copy !req
480. Am I under arrest?Copy !req
481. What crime have I committed?Copy !req
482. What is that?Copy !req
483. Oh, this?Copy !req
484. Oh!Copy !req
485. This is what we got off the Judgment Day.Copy !req
486. Shakespeare never worked
half this hard for a bit of dialogue.Copy !req
487. It's a recording of the conversations
between Evans and your Lord. Here.Copy !req
488. We put together the best bits.
Have a listen.Copy !req
489. Find out
what your space friends really areCopy !req
490. and what they really think of you.Copy !req
491. Be careful with what you know.Copy !req
492. That's where your troubles begin.Copy !req
493. Can't you ever say anything
that you know to be false? Can't you lie?Copy !req
494. You do this? You lie?Copy !req
495. Well, I try not to, but, um, yeah.Copy !req
496. Yeah, we all do sometimes,
one way or another.Copy !req
497. We think we understand now.Copy !req
498. A liar is someone whose words are false.Copy !req
499. A liar cannot be trusted.Copy !req
500. We cannot coexist with liars.Copy !req
501. We are afraid of you.Copy !req
502. Lord?Copy !req
503. My Lord?Copy !req
504. My Lord, are you there?Copy !req
505. This is Augustina Salazar.
I'm not available—Copy !req
506. Hey, this is Raj.
Leave a message after the beep.Copy !req
507. Oh. What the fuck?Copy !req
508. - What are you doing here?
- Picking you up.Copy !req
509. What? What for?Copy !req
510. Most people would be flattered that
their boss came to pick them up for work.Copy !req
511. You're not my boss.Copy !req
512. Hey.Copy !req
513. Commander Varma tells me you understand
extra dimensions, higher dimensions.Copy !req
514. When did you talk to Raj?Copy !req
515. I talk to him all the time.
I talk to all my employees all the time.Copy !req
516. Okay. He's in the Royal Navy, buddy.Copy !req
517. Unless you're the King of England,
he's not your employee.Copy !req
518. He never mentioned
that he works for me? Good.Copy !req
519. Why should I believe you?Copy !req
520. Higher dimensions.Copy !req
521. I believe you've discussed the subject
with Commander Varma before?Copy !req
522. He told you about that?Copy !req
523. Higher dimensions,
you understand that kind of thing?Copy !req
524. Nobody really understands
that kind of thing.Copy !req
525. Our brains evolved
in three dimensions, not ten.Copy !req
526. To the extent we are capable
of understanding them, yes, I do.Copy !req
527. The result of your boyfriend's
last mission leads us to believeCopy !req
528. we may be in need
of this kind of understanding.Copy !req
529. Well, I don't know anything
about his last mission.Copy !req
530. I haven't been able to get in touch
with him. Where was he?Copy !req
531. You're very pushy.Copy !req
532. - I'm pushy?
- And repetitive.Copy !req
533. - Maybe you shouldn't be working for me.
- I don't work for you.Copy !req
534. Okay, you're the boss.Copy !req
535. Why do you wanna know
about higher dimensions?Copy !req
536. Does the word "Sophon"
mean anything to you, boss?Copy !req
537. They wanna show us something.Copy !req
538. - What?
- Don't know. No one has seen this yet.Copy !req
539. Anybody seen this yet?Copy !req
540. No, sir.Copy !req
541. Is it another level of the game?Copy !req
542. Could be.Copy !req
543. What do we do now?Copy !req
544. You prepare yourself
for something very strange.Copy !req
545. I've heard that.Copy !req
546. No, I mean very strange.Copy !req
547. I'm sure I'll manage.Copy !req
548. I meant, how do we get it started?Copy !req
549. Put it on.Copy !req
550. - That's it?
- You said they wanna show us something.Copy !req
551. If they want it to work,
it'll work for us.Copy !req
552. All right, then.Copy !req
553. Jesus, fuck!Copy !req
554. Yep.Copy !req
555. How do they know what we're wearing?Copy !req
556. I don't know.Copy !req
557. Who's she?Copy !req
558. An AI.Copy !req
559. Or maybe one of them.Copy !req
560. They look like us?Copy !req
561. We don't look anything like this.Copy !req
562. This is all for your benefit.Copy !req
563. What do you really look like?Copy !req
564. You wouldn't like it.Copy !req
565. Why did you bring us here?Copy !req
566. To tell you that we're doomed.Copy !req
567. Our species is doomed.Copy !req
568. Why?Copy !req
569. How long will the fleet take
to reach Earth?Copy !req
570. Four hundred years.Copy !req
571. That's why we're doomed.Copy !req
572. Human beings have existed
for over 100,000 years.Copy !req
573. For most of that time,
you weren't so different from apes.Copy !req
574. How long did it take you
to discover agriculture?Copy !req
575. Why don't you cut the shit and tell us?Copy !req
576. It took you 90,000 years
to get from hunter-gatherer to farmer.Copy !req
577. After that, how long did it take you
to become industrialists?Copy !req
578. About 10,000 years.Copy !req
579. Atomic power?Copy !req
580. Two hundred years.Copy !req
581. Computers? The information age?Copy !req
582. Fifty years.Copy !req
583. And how long do you think it took us
to get from hunting to farming,Copy !req
584. and farming to industry,Copy !req
585. and industry to atomic power?Copy !req
586. A lot longer.Copy !req
587. Our planet is stable.Copy !req
588. Our catastrophes
aren't really catastrophes.Copy !req
589. We've never had to start over.Copy !req
590. But they do.
Every time they get wiped out.Copy !req
591. It will be 400 years before we reach you.Copy !req
592. By the time we do,
you will have long surpassed us.Copy !req
593. You will destroy our fleet
and then come back and destroy our worldCopy !req
594. to make sure we never threaten you again.Copy !req
595. This is not a conquest.Copy !req
596. It is a funeral procession.Copy !req
597. Unless you figure out a way to disarm us.Copy !req
598. To keep us from moving forward.Copy !req
599. Have you?Copy !req
600. Yes.Copy !req
601. We are going to kill your science.Copy !req
602. We will do it with our Sophons.Copy !req
603. What is a Sophon?Copy !req
604. It's a proton.Copy !req
605. One we have turned
into a sentient computer.Copy !req
606. You can't make a computer that small.Copy !req
607. It's impossible.Copy !req
608. Impossible for you.Copy !req
609. The universe has more dimensions
than the three we occupy.Copy !req
610. They are hidden,Copy !req
611. folded up far too small for us to see.Copy !req
612. But we have the technology to unfold them.Copy !req
613. We summon energies
you cannot imagineCopy !req
614. and focus them on a single proton.Copy !req
615. When we unfold
its higher dimensions...Copy !req
616. even a tiny proton becomes
something very large indeed.Copy !req
617. We make a mind
as large as a world.Copy !req
618. Sophon, are you awake?Copy !req
619. Awake and aware.
I understand my purpose.Copy !req
620. I am ready to return to my original size.Copy !req
621. Please proceed.Copy !req
622. We used all our resources
to make four Sophons.Copy !req
623. Two pairs of two.Copy !req
624. Each pair is entangled,Copy !req
625. connected on the quantum level.Copy !req
626. Two remain with us.Copy !req
627. The other two, we've sent to you.Copy !req
628. Everything they see and hear,
we see and hear at the same time.Copy !req
629. Even when they are light-years apart.Copy !req
630. A proton has virtually no mass.Copy !req
631. Accelerating them
to nearly light speed is easy.Copy !req
632. Even you can do that.Copy !req
633. They entered your solar system months ago.Copy !req
634. We sent them to your planet,Copy !req
635. to the places where
your best minds explore realityCopy !req
636. at its most fundamental level.Copy !req
637. And we will destroy
the science that could defeat us.Copy !req
638. The answers to your questions
will become chaotic and meaningless.Copy !req
639. The universe
will remain a mystery to you forever.Copy !req
640. In place of truth, we give you miracles.Copy !req
641. We wrap your world in illusions.Copy !req
642. We make you see what we want you to see.Copy !req
643. We are everywhere. Anywhere.Copy !req
644. Always watching.
Learning all your secrets.Copy !req
645. Uncovering your lies.Copy !req
646. And we will teach you how to fear again.Copy !req
647. Basking in the sunlight...Copy !req
648. this sea creature
can circumnavigate the globeCopy !req
649. more than three times in his lifetime.Copy !req
