1. No exit.
Copy !req
2. Chest needle.
Copy !req
3. Right now, goddamn it.
Copy !req
4. What the hell are you doing?
Copy !req
5. His lung collapsed.
I'm relieving the pressure.
Copy !req
6. We bought him some time.
Copy !req
7. Get him to med bay
and cut this goddamn suit off him
Copy !req
8. so I can see what I'm dealing with.
Copy !req
9. - Did we lose anybody?
- Negative, Commander.
Copy !req
10. Commander Rossi? Houston's on the horn.
They're plenty riled.
Copy !req
11. Yeah, so am I. On me.
Copy !req
12. The other Russian?
Copy !req
13. Didn't make it.
Jason's bringing his remains in now.
Copy !req
14. Lopez and Bernitz
are still out at the site.
Copy !req
15. What the hell happened out there?
Copy !req
16. We were giving them the warning
Copy !req
17. when they went for a crate
that could have had weapons in it.
Copy !req
18. So we took them under fire.
Copy !req
19. What do you mean,
"could have had weapons"?
Copy !req
20. Did they grab guns or not?
Copy !req
21. It happened fast.
Copy !req
22. We perceived a hostile intent,
and we reacted.
Copy !req
23. They didn't have weapons, sir.
Copy !req
24. Turns out one of them was going for
their translation card when I...
Copy !req
25. when I shot him.
Copy !req
26. Colonel Paulson, Major Webster,
Copy !req
27. are you sure there were no
Russian weapons on-site?
Copy !req
28. Before I take this to the president,
I need to know just how bad it is.
Copy !req
29. We're sure, ma'am.
Copy !req
30. I see.
Copy !req
31. And the cosmonaut, will he survive?
Copy !req
32. We don't know.
Copy !req
33. Okay. Keep us informed.
Copy !req
34. Will do.
Copy !req
35. Houston out.
Copy !req
36. This isn't good.
Copy !req
37. Wars have started over a lot less.
Copy !req
38. World War I started with a gunshot
and killed 20 million people.
Copy !req
39. Well, if this turns into World War III,
Copy !req
40. 20 million is gonna seem
like a car accident.
Copy !req
41. You good, Trace?
Copy !req
42. - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
43. Just...
Copy !req
44. How do you make it stop?
Copy !req
45. Just give it time.
Copy !req
46. The first violent acts on the moon
Copy !req
47. have been perpetrated
by the United States of America.
Copy !req
48. US Marines,
armed with automatic weapons...
Copy !req
49. took one of our mining sites by force
Copy !req
50. and shot two of our cosmonauts
in cold blood.
Copy !req
51. But the Soviet Union
will not be intimidated.
Copy !req
52. We have reliable intelligence
that the next American Sea Dragon rocket
Copy !req
53. plans to deliver nuclear weapons
to the moon.
Copy !req
54. We will not allow this.
Copy !req
55. If it attempts to do so,
it will be destroyed.
Copy !req
56. Just how the hell
do they intend to do that?
Copy !req
57. Shoot Sea Dragon down during the launch?
Copy !req
58. I don't think they have the ability
to pull that off.
Copy !req
59. If they break our COMSEC,
Copy !req
60. they could veer it off course,
sending it crashing into the ocean.
Copy !req
61. Sir.
Copy !req
62. A recon satellite just detected a launch
from Sakhalin Island.
Copy !req
63. A missile?
Copy !req
64. No. It's their shuttle, Buran.
Copy !req
65. Guess the Soviets either fixed the problem
or waited for warmer weather.
Copy !req
66. CIA says it's armed.
Copy !req
67. Armed?
Copy !req
68. To the teeth.
Copy !req
69. If Buran's overhead,
they could bomb Sea Dragon 17 from orbit,
Copy !req
70. and we'd never see it coming.
Copy !req
71. And that's not all they can hit.
Copy !req
72. Let's go. They're tracking it at DODCOM.
Copy !req
73. Three hours and all Buran's done
is dock with their space station.
Copy !req
74. Maybe we're overreacting.
Copy !req
75. It's their first shuttle flight.
Copy !req
76. It could have nothing to do
with Sea Dragon.
Copy !req
77. Buran could just be running
a docking test, like we do with Skylab.
Copy !req
78. I'd like to believe that.
Copy !req
79. But air force intel says they've been
stockpiling fuel on that station.
Copy !req
80. And you didn't tell me?
Copy !req
81. Not relevant to NASA operations.
Copy !req
82. Our shuttles need to refuel
before they burn for the moon,
Copy !req
83. - so they're maybe not testing anything.
- General—
Copy !req
84. Buran's separated from Mir.
Copy !req
85. They're picking up substantial delta-V
in the TLI window.
Copy !req
86. They're headed for the moon.
Copy !req
87. Buran could shoot down
Sea Dragon before it enters lunar orbit.
Copy !req
88. Jesus.
Copy !req
89. The Russians are blockading the moon.
Copy !req
90. Come in.
Copy !req
91. Well, well, well, look who's got
a new pair of spectacles.
Copy !req
92. Told you it would happen to you too.
Copy !req
93. Sit your ass down.
Copy !req
94. Just one of the many wonderful experiences
Copy !req
95. you're gonna enjoy in your golden years.
Copy !req
96. Hair loss, kidney stones, colostomy bags.
Copy !req
97. You done, Ed?
Copy !req
98. What do you want to talk to me about?
Copy !req
99. DOD is taking over your mission.
Copy !req
100. Apparently the Soviets have sent
Buran to the moon to stop Sea Dragon.
Copy !req
101. I can't believe
they're trying to pull this shit.
Copy !req
102. Do they really think
we're sending nukes up there?
Copy !req
103. This entire blockade is just an excuse
to cut off our people on the moon.
Copy !req
104. And we can't let that happen.
Copy !req
105. What else can you tell me?
Copy !req
106. Not much.
DOD has locked this one down pretty tight.
Copy !req
107. What I do know is that they've moved your
launch date up to the day after tomorrow.
Copy !req
108. Holy shit.
Copy !req
109. General Bradford will brief you
on the details.
Copy !req
110. - Okay.
- Godspeed, Ed.
Copy !req
111. Be safe up there.
Copy !req
112. We're taking Pathfinder to the moon?
Copy !req
113. That's the word from up on high.
Copy !req
114. We're going up against Buran.
Copy !req
115. Hell of a test flight.
Copy !req
116. Look, our nuclear engines are solid,
Copy !req
117. but there are still plenty of things
that can go wrong.
Copy !req
118. I know, it's risky.
Copy !req
119. But we need to make
the Russians think twice
Copy !req
120. about stopping Sea Dragon 17
from reaching the moon.
Copy !req
121. Pathfinder is the only ship
that can do it.
Copy !req
122. So we're riding shotgun.
Copy !req
123. Exactly.
Copy !req
124. We'll rendezvous with Sea Dragon
in Earth's orbit
Copy !req
125. and then escort her to Jamestown.
Copy !req
126. And if the Russians don't back down?
Copy !req
127. Then we will intercede.
Copy !req
128. Intercede. Right.
Copy !req
129. With radar-guided missiles, each carrying
over a hundred pounds of high explosives.
Copy !req
130. Pretty convincing intercession.
And our missiles have a longer range.
Copy !req
131. No. Okay, so, just to clarify,
Copy !req
132. is the plan for us to shoot down Buran
before they fire at Sea Dragon?
Copy !req
133. If anyone fires, we've failed.
Copy !req
134. Our job is to discourage them
from doing so.
Copy !req
135. So we're playing a game of chicken
with missiles.
Copy !req
136. It's like LBJ said,
Copy !req
137. whoever controls the high ground of space
controls the world.
Copy !req
138. Now... if you choose
to remain on this mission,
Copy !req
139. we're wheels up to the Cape in four hours.
Launch in 48.
Copy !req
140. - That's fast.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
141. What are these for?
Copy !req
142. Well, if our return to Earth
ends up in hostile territory,
Copy !req
143. we may need to defend ourselves.
Copy !req
144. You can't be serious.
Copy !req
145. The Russians do it.
They have since the '60s.
Copy !req
146. Jesus.
Copy !req
147. And we can't let Pathfinder end up in
their hands, so we'd need to destroy her.
Copy !req
148. Look, I realize this isn't what
either of you came to NASA to do.
Copy !req
149. If you choose to drop out...
I won't hold it against you.
Copy !req
150. I'm not gonna let you two face the Soviets
with a subpar NERVA technician.
Copy !req
151. Just one thing, Ed.
Copy !req
152. What the Russians are saying about
nuclear weapons aboard Sea Dragon 17.
Copy !req
153. Are there?
Copy !req
154. Look, I honestly don't know.
Copy !req
155. What you got, Nick?
Copy !req
156. A demand from
the Russian commander of Zvezda.
Copy !req
157. He wants to send a team
to recover his people.
Copy !req
158. Both of 'em.
Copy !req
159. He sounds pretty cranky.
Copy !req
160. Yeah, that's an understatement.
Copy !req
161. What should I tell him?
Copy !req
162. That his injured cosmonaut
remains unconscious,
Copy !req
163. and I will consult my superiors
concerning his request.
Copy !req
164. That's all? You sure?
Copy !req
165. Russians understand deferring
to chain of command. It'll buy us time.
Copy !req
166. Be polite. But not too polite.
Copy !req
167. - Hey, babe.
- Hey.
Copy !req
168. We should get going. That nurse said
it would be good if we got there early.
Copy !req
169. Okay.
Copy !req
170. - You read the materials?
- I did.
Copy !req
171. Pretty mind-blowing, don't you think?
Copy !req
172. That it is.
Copy !req
173. Okay. Out with it.
Copy !req
174. I don't know, just that
injecting antioxidants into your eyes
Copy !req
175. seems a bit extreme.
Copy !req
176. Well, so is my glaucoma.
Copy !req
177. This is the first doctor
who said he can help me.
Copy !req
178. - Not true. The others said—
- No, no.
Copy !req
179. The others said they could slow it down,
not stop it. This guy is—
Copy !req
180. Is telling you exactly
what you want to hear.
Copy !req
181. Okay, Wayne.
Did you read the case histories?
Copy !req
182. Ninety-two percent of his patients recover
their sight after just three treatments.
Copy !req
183. Molly, those are all anecdotal, okay?
Copy !req
184. He doesn't provide
any supporting research,
Copy !req
185. no clinical trials, no peer-reviewed
analysis by certified specialists—
Copy !req
186. Because the medical establishment
is opposed to what he's doing.
Copy !req
187. And why do you suppose that is?
Copy !req
188. Because they don't want the competition?
Copy !req
189. Because all they think about is money?
Copy !req
190. As opposed to this guy, who wants
ten grand up front and 15 after that
Copy !req
191. - and whatever the hell—
- Wayne, this is my first ray of hope.
Copy !req
192. You are not gonna piss all over it!
Copy !req
193. Molly, this guy is a charlatan.
Copy !req
194. - You don't know that!
- I do. My father—
Copy !req
195. Your father was part of
the medical establishment!
Copy !req
196. Okay. Just stop and listen to me
for one moment, please. All right?
Copy !req
197. Look, I know you're scared,
Copy !req
198. but if you go down
to this guy's clip joint in Juárez—
Copy !req
199. It's not Juárez. It's Guadalajara, okay?
Copy !req
200. It's not some sleazy border town.
Copy !req
201. It's a state-of-the-art medical facility.
Did you look at the pictures?
Copy !req
202. I don't give a damn
about the pictures, Molly!
Copy !req
203. They wanna stick needles in your eyes!
Copy !req
204. Okay? Who knows what shit
they put in there!
Copy !req
205. You could go blind right then,
or get an infection,
Copy !req
206. or even die.
Copy !req
207. I'm sorry, but it's just too risky.
Copy !req
208. I don't know, Wayne.
Copy !req
209. All I know is I gotta fly.
Copy !req
210. Okay? And if I don't, then...
Copy !req
211. I don't know. I don't know.
Copy !req
212. I don't know.
Copy !req
213. No. All right. Come on, Molly. I'll drive.
Copy !req
214. You will not. I'm not blind yet.
Copy !req
215. At a news briefing this morning,
White House press secretary Larry Speakes
Copy !req
216. revealed elements of the Soviet
Northern Fleet have been spotted
Copy !req
217. a hundred miles off the coast of Colombia,
headed for the Panama Canal.
Copy !req
218. The provocative move comes on the heels
of the Soviet Union's lunar blockade.
Copy !req
219. All leave has been canceled
for US military personnel,
Copy !req
220. and Secretary of Defense
Caspar Weinberger announced
Copy !req
221. American forces have been moved
to DEFCON 3.
Copy !req
222. That must be why the USS Carl Vinson
and the Third Fleet
Copy !req
223. left the Philippines last week.
Copy !req
224. I bet they'll be reaching the canal
anytime now.
Copy !req
225. What? You're not interested?
Copy !req
226. Your father just got home.
Dinner's almost ready.
Copy !req
227. - Make sure there's water on the table.
- I can't stay.
Copy !req
228. Why not?
Copy !req
229. Pathfinder's launch got moved up.
Day after tomorrow.
Copy !req
230. I'm on my way to Ellington now,
Copy !req
231. but I didn't wanna leave
without seeing you both.
Copy !req
232. That's so rad.
Copy !req
233. Why'd they move it up?
Copy !req
234. Well, that's classified.
Copy !req
235. Wait, it's not something to do
with Panama, is it?
Copy !req
236. Are you gonna use the Pathfinder
against the Soviet fleet?
Copy !req
237. Kelly, he just said he can't tell you.
Copy !req
238. Are you gonna be okay?
Copy !req
239. No, he can't promise you that.
Copy !req
240. He can't.
Copy !req
241. You wanna be in the navy, Kelly,
this is part of the gig.
Copy !req
242. Sometimes you get deployed
without any warning,
Copy !req
243. and the one thing you can never do
is promise the people you leave behind
Copy !req
244. that you're going to be okay.
Copy !req
245. 'Cause they will hang on to that promise
like it's a lifeline.
Copy !req
246. And it's not real. Right, Ed?
Copy !req
247. Look, she's right. I can't promise
that nothing's gonna happen, but...
Copy !req
248. I feel very confident. Okay?
Copy !req
249. Any luck, I'll be back
the week after you start school.
Copy !req
250. - I love you, Dad.
- I love you too, kiddo.
Copy !req
251. More than you'll ever know.
Copy !req
252. Walk me to the car?
Copy !req
253. Okay.
Copy !req
254. You okay?
Copy !req
255. I'm fine. I'm just tired.
Copy !req
256. Is it about the mission?
Copy !req
257. No.
Copy !req
258. Then what?
Copy !req
259. Ed, we'll talk about it
when you get back, okay?
Copy !req
260. That doesn't sound good.
Copy !req
261. Yeah. Well, now's not really the time.
You have to focus on Pathfinder.
Copy !req
262. That's right. And I won't be able to
if you don't tell me what's going on.
Copy !req
263. Ed, I need to sit with it. I don't—
Copy !req
264. Sit with what? What are you talking about?
Copy !req
265. Let it go. We'll talk about it
when you get home.
Copy !req
266. - Okay?
- No, no, no. No.
Copy !req
267. No, we made a pact, remember?
Copy !req
268. - Yeah, I know. I—
- We made a pact.
Copy !req
269. You and me, we don't keep any secrets
from each other anymore.
Copy !req
270. I'd never go out on some mission without
knowing what was going on back home.
Copy !req
271. - Ed. I know.
- No. You need to tell me the truth.
Copy !req
272. - We wouldn't keep any more secrets.
- Yes, Ed. I know—
Copy !req
273. Just tell me. Tell me, Karen!
Copy !req
274. I slept with someone.
Copy !req
275. You what?
Copy !req
276. I did.
Copy !req
277. And I wasn't drunk or crazy
or didn't know what I was doing.
Copy !req
278. It was a decision that I made.
Copy !req
279. Who?
Copy !req
280. Doesn't matter who.
Copy !req
281. The hell it doesn't.
Copy !req
282. - Who? Who?
- It was a onetime thing.
Copy !req
283. It's not gonna happen again, Ed, okay?
Copy !req
284. What the hell, Karen?
Copy !req
285. What is this? You want out?
Copy !req
286. - This is your way of asking for a divorce?
- I don't know. I don't know!
Copy !req
287. You don't know if you wanna stay
in our marriage?
Copy !req
288. I don't. I really, really don't anymore.
Copy !req
289. I think that we need counseling.
Copy !req
290. Counseling?
Copy !req
291. To fix things, or blow 'em up?
Copy !req
292. To figure this out.
Copy !req
293. We need to figure this out, okay?
Copy !req
294. When you get back, that's what we'll do.
Copy !req
295. - We'll go to counseling and figure it out.
- No, no.
Copy !req
296. You don't get to just drop a bomb
in the middle of our lives
Copy !req
297. and then just say that
"yeah, we'll figure it out."
Copy !req
298. No, no. You need to decide.
Copy !req
299. You need to decide whether this marriage—
Copy !req
300. us, us—
Copy !req
301. is something that
you're interested in saving.
Copy !req
302. Really, Ed? Life's a little
more complicated than that.
Copy !req
303. Don't give me that bullshit.
It's not complicated.
Copy !req
304. - You're either in or you're out.
- No, it's not that simple, Ed.
Copy !req
305. You just don't like to live in the gray.
Copy !req
306. The gray.
Copy !req
307. I don't like to live in the gray.
What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
Copy !req
308. You like it simple, Ed.
You want up or down, in or out, yes or no.
Copy !req
309. You live in a perfect binary world
that the rest of us don't live in.
Copy !req
310. We live in the— I live in the gray, Ed,
Copy !req
311. where everything is complicated
and nothing is simple.
Copy !req
312. Ed.
Copy !req
313. Webster, it's time.
Copy !req
314. How many Russians did they say are coming?
Copy !req
315. The State Department agreed to two.
Copy !req
316. - What if they bring more?
- They wait outside.
Copy !req
317. They'll be here in three hours.
Copy !req
318. All right, I want eyes on both
these assholes every moment they're here.
Copy !req
319. If one of them has to drop a deuce,
I want a marine in the head with him
Copy !req
320. to make sure he doesn't dump Semtex
in the plumbing. Am I clear?
Copy !req
321. - Aye, aye, sir.
- Aye, aye, sir.
Copy !req
322. Around the globe, thousands are protesting
Copy !req
323. the United States' recent shooting
of two cosmonauts
Copy !req
324. in a dispute over lunar mining claims.
Copy !req
325. In Panama the protesters cheered at
the arrival of the Soviet Northern Fleet.
Copy !req
326. In a related story, musician John Lennon
will hold his concert for peace
Copy !req
327. in Madison Square Garden Friday night.
Copy !req
328. Tickets sold out in mere minutes.
Copy !req
329. During the rising friction
of the last few months,
Copy !req
330. Lennon has been an outspoken critic
of both the Americans and the Soviets...
Copy !req
331. Ready for another one?
Copy !req
332. Here we are.
Copy !req
333. Are you okay?
Copy !req
334. Yeah.
Copy !req
335. I just need to... slow down a little.
Copy !req
336. Okay, we'll just slow down a little bit.
Copy !req
337. Sorry.
Copy !req
338. Okay.
Copy !req
339. Sorry.
Copy !req
340. - It's okay.
- Just...
Copy !req
341. How long you been divorced?
Copy !req
342. What makes you think...
Copy !req
343. Tan lines on your ring finger.
Copy !req
344. Takes a while for that to go away.
Copy !req
345. So how long has it been?
Copy !req
346. It's kinda hard to say.
Copy !req
347. Divorce hasn't gone through yet.
Copy !req
348. That is a bad time.
Copy !req
349. Limbo.
Copy !req
350. Caught between one world and the next.
Copy !req
351. Best thing to do is not think about it.
Copy !req
352. It's okay.
Copy !req
353. Don't think about anything.
Copy !req
354. Just be here. Just be right here.
Copy !req
355. I'm married.
Copy !req
356. I'm...
Copy !req
357. I'm not divorced or separated.
Copy !req
358. I'm just going through a rough spot.
Copy !req
359. I don't wanna know.
Copy !req
360. Yeah—
Copy !req
361. Jesus Christ.
Copy !req
362. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
363. Little advice,
Copy !req
364. make up your mind before you buy somebody
a drink and turn on the charm.
Copy !req
365. Welcome to Jamestown, Colonel Tsukanov.
Copy !req
366. Dr. Mayakovsky.
Copy !req
367. I'm Colonel Rossi, commander of Jamestown.
Copy !req
368. Where is our comrade?
Copy !req
369. Your doctor may examine the patient.
You will wait here.
Copy !req
370. No. I will go with him.
Copy !req
371. That wasn't the agreement.
Copy !req
372. You are to wait here.
Copy !req
373. I can get you a cup of coffee,
if you like.
Copy !req
374. This way, Doctor.
Copy !req
375. You keep your medical bay sealed off?
Copy !req
376. It's routine for a nonambulatory patient.
Copy !req
377. And the room can double
as a hyperbaric chamber.
Copy !req
378. Does not seem to have helped
the cosmonaut you shot.
Copy !req
379. It was a mistake. I—
Copy !req
380. It was an unprovoked act of aggression.
Copy !req
381. You should be charged and tried
before an international court.
Copy !req
382. All of you.
Copy !req
383. For the moment,
let's keep this to the medical issues.
Copy !req
384. Pathfinder standing by.
We have a green light.
Copy !req
385. Standing by for Sea Dragon launch.
Copy !req
386. All systems green. Sea Dragon launch
confirmed at 4:36 local time.
Copy !req
387. Pathfinder, Houston.
Just got word from Guam.
Copy !req
388. Sea Dragon 17 has launched.
Copy !req
389. Roger that, Houston.
Copy !req
390. Showtime.
Copy !req
391. IMU alignment matches FRED's.
RTB window still good.
Copy !req
392. Commander?
Copy !req
393. Ed?
Copy !req
394. Say again, Gary?
Copy !req
395. I said we have good IMU
and RTB window, skipper.
Copy !req
396. Copy good IMU and RTB window.
Copy !req
397. Y'all ready for the inaugural flight
of the most badass nuclear rocket
Copy !req
398. ever to grace God's green Earth?
Copy !req
399. Roger that.
Copy !req
400. Houston, we are configured
for NERVA flight.
Copy !req
401. Looking good here, Pathfinder.
Copy !req
402. FRED PLV, Houston is go
for pushover and sep.
Copy !req
403. FRED rogers go for pushover.
Copy !req
404. Altitude 25,000, speed 270.
Copy !req
405. Pushover in three, two, one, pushover.
Copy !req
406. Houston is go for separation.
Copy !req
407. Altitude 22,000, speed 270. Launch ready.
Copy !req
408. Roger, FRED.
Copy !req
409. Sep in three, two, one.
Copy !req
410. Separation.
Copy !req
411. I show good sep.
Copy !req
412. Pathfinder, FRED is clear for NERVA start.
Copy !req
413. Roger, FRED.
Copy !req
414. Let's light 'em up.
Copy !req
415. - It's all you, Sally.
- All right.
Copy !req
416. I show green on the control drum actuator.
Copy !req
417. Throttle control is all yours, skip.
Copy !req
418. Thought you'd like that.
Copy !req
419. Houston, we are under nuclear power
and hauling ass.
Copy !req
420. Engine cutoff in five,
four, three, two, one, cutoff.
Copy !req
421. Pathfinder is in orbit.
Copy !req
422. Margo.
Copy !req
423. How nice of them to keep us in the loop.
Pathfinder's on track for rendezvous.
Copy !req
424. Copy that.
Sea Dragon rendezvous burn in 20 minutes.
Copy !req
425. MEC confirmed.
Copy !req
426. Pathfinder, you're right smack-dab
on trajectory and go for orbit.
Copy !req
427. Expect Sea Dragon rendezvous burn
in 19 minutes.
Copy !req
428. Roger, Houston.
Copy !req
429. Fly a ship into space.
Copy !req
430. Not launch.
Copy !req
431. Not blast.
Copy !req
432. Fly.
Copy !req
433. That's what we dreamed about
in flight test.
Copy !req
434. The X-15 could fly so close to space
that we could see it.
Copy !req
435. Always just out of reach.
Copy !req
436. Limited penetration.
Copy !req
437. No bone damage. Good.
Copy !req
438. Bullet must have hit something before.
Copy !req
439. Do you have theory as to why
he remains unconscious?
Copy !req
440. Hypoxia. And possibly DCS from loss of
suit pressure could have knocked him out.
Copy !req
441. Might have caused brain damage.
Copy !req
442. We will not know unless he wakes.
Copy !req
443. I want this to happen
under my supervision.
Copy !req
444. Please prepare him for travel.
Copy !req
445. Doctor, you know
he won't survive the trip.
Copy !req
446. That is your opinion.
Copy !req
447. He is my countryman.
We are taking him home.
Copy !req
448. Not while I command Jamestown.
Copy !req
449. I will protest to my government.
Copy !req
450. Feel free to do so.
Copy !req
451. Let me see Ilya Yozhkin.
Copy !req
452. We suspect the bullet made a spark
when it entered his suit.
Copy !req
453. Like ours, your suits contain pure oxygen.
Copy !req
454. - We can help you carry—
- No, you will not touch him! None of you.
Copy !req
455. We will take care of him.
Copy !req
456. You know what to do
when you hear the beep, so do it.
Copy !req
457. Hey, it's me. I have to head to...
Copy !req
458. Hey.
Copy !req
459. Was just leaving you a message.
Copy !req
460. I gotta get to the Cape.
Copy !req
461. Help prep with the launch of Apollo 75.
Copy !req
462. Yeah, you need ten grand to do that?
Copy !req
463. I saw you took the money
out of our savings.
Copy !req
464. You're going to Guadalajara, aren't you?
Copy !req
465. Congratulations, Columbo.
You cracked the case.
Copy !req
466. Yeah, so you're just gonna let some
tent show huckster blind you, or worse?
Copy !req
467. What do you want from me, Wayne?
Copy !req
468. Can you imagine me with a white cane?
Can you?
Copy !req
469. Helping me up and down those stairs,
driving me around,
Copy !req
470. wiping my ass because
I can't find it anymore?
Copy !req
471. No. No way.
Copy !req
472. You do this and I won't be here
when you get back.
Copy !req
473. Don't be so melodramatic.
Copy !req
474. No, I've put up with
a lot of shit, Molly. A lot.
Copy !req
475. Because I love you desperately, right?
Copy !req
476. But... this is as far as I can go.
Copy !req
477. I won't watch you do this.
Copy !req
478. Free at last.
Copy !req
479. Any idea what a burden you've been
all these years?
Copy !req
480. Tiptoeing around your phobias—
Copy !req
481. You wanna talk about fears, Molly?
This right here is cowardice.
Copy !req
482. - This, cowardice?
- Yes.
Copy !req
483. Man, I have clung to the back of rockets!
Copy !req
484. I have been to the moon
more times than I can count!
Copy !req
485. You can barely watch it on the TV,
but I'm the coward?
Copy !req
486. No, no, no! Don't do that.
Copy !req
487. My wheelchair-bound mother in assisted
living has more guts than you do.
Copy !req
488. Then go live with her.
Copy !req
489. Thank God.
Copy !req
490. Hey. Hey, get the doc in here.
Copy !req
491. Hey.
Copy !req
492. Easy, buddy. Doc will be here soon.
Copy !req
493. Zvezda?
Copy !req
494. No. No.
Copy !req
495. This is Jamestown Base.
Copy !req
496. The Americans?
Copy !req
497. Yes. Yes, we are Americans.
Copy !req
498. I'm Major Helena Webster.
Copy !req
499. I wish to defect to United States.
Copy !req
500. Jamestown is American soil.
Copy !req
501. The cosmonaut has requested asylum,
and we're going to grant it.
Copy !req
502. The president told Ambassador Dobrynin
a half hour ago.
Copy !req
503. His response?
Copy !req
504. He thinks we're lying.
Holding their man against his will.
Copy !req
505. They're convinced we're interrogating him.
Copy !req
506. I find it a bit hard to swallow myself.
Copy !req
507. I mean, we did shoot the man,
and now he wants to defect.
Copy !req
508. You ever eaten the food
in the Soviet Union?
Copy !req
509. Rossi's moved him out of critical care.
Copy !req
510. So the plan is to transport him down here
on the next shuttle trip later this month.
Copy !req
511. Okay. Thank you.
Copy !req
512. Ellen.
Copy !req
513. You talk to the president
about Apollo-Soyuz?
Copy !req
514. Not yet. But if he asks my opinion,
I'm gonna recommend that he cancel it.
Copy !req
515. Don't you...
think that's a little premature?
Copy !req
516. With everything happening?
Copy !req
517. I just don't see
how it makes sense anymore.
Copy !req
518. But—
Copy !req
519. Why don't we wait to see
what the Russians do?
Copy !req
520. If they launch Soyuz, it'd be a sign
that they don't want to escalate.
Copy !req
521. And if they cancel it, then we'll know
we're in for some real trouble.
Copy !req
522. All right. Let's see how this plays out.
Copy !req
523. Think you guys will actually go up today?
Copy !req
524. With all the shit going down with Russia,
don't hold your breath.
Copy !req
525. Sorry, all jewelry's gotta come off
for launch.
Copy !req
526. Sorry, I forgot to leave it with the CAO.
Copy !req
527. Thanks, Liz.
Copy !req
528. Apollo, this is Launch Control.
Copy !req
529. We've reached the scheduled hold.
Copy !req
530. We will resume the count when we have
confirmation that Soyuz has launched.
Copy !req
531. Roger that, Control. We'll sit tight.
Copy !req
532. I see.
Copy !req
533. Yes, we will.
Copy !req
534. Thank you.
Copy !req
535. Any word?
Copy !req
536. "We're human beings with the blood
of a million savage years on our hands.
Copy !req
537. But we can stop it.
Copy !req
538. We can admit that we're killers.
Copy !req
539. But we're not going to kill today.
Copy !req
540. That's all it takes.
Copy !req
541. Knowing that we're not
going to kill today."
Copy !req
542. That's from Star Trek, isn't it?
Copy !req
543. "A Taste of Armageddon."
Season 1, episode 23.
Copy !req
544. First aired February 23rd, 1967.
Copy !req
545. Hard-core.
Copy !req
546. Hello, Margo.
Copy !req
547. Hello, Mr. Nikulov.
Copy !req
548. What's the word?
Copy !req
549. Soyuz has launched.
Copy !req
550. Our cosmonauts look forward
to meeting the Apollo crew in space.
Copy !req
551. Thank you.
Copy !req
552. Apollo 75, this is Houston.
We got some good news for ya.
Copy !req
553. Hear ya loud and clear, Houston.
Copy !req
554. Mr. Sulu, set course for Earth orbit.
Copy !req
555. Aye, aye, Captain.
Copy !req
556. Roll complete, Houston. We're on our way.
Copy !req
557. Wayne?
Copy !req
558. Hope you got a thing for old blind ladies.
Copy !req
559. Are you kidding?
White canes and dark glasses turn me on.
Copy !req
560. I'm dead serious, Lar.
Copy !req
561. The old man, he thinks the world of Ellen.
Copy !req
562. And with Calhoun retiring,
it's the perfect time.
Copy !req
563. The Grand Old Party
needs some fresh faces.
Copy !req
564. The 22nd District?
Copy !req
565. She'd be tarred as a carpetbagger,
Copy !req
566. an East Coast elitist
who eats quiche from a can.
Copy !req
567. And Ronald Reagan was a Hollywood
actor from hippie-dippie California.
Copy !req
568. But he claimed the South as
the new bastion of the Republican Party.
Copy !req
569. I did that for him.
And I can do it for her.
Copy !req
570. No offense, Lee,
but your tactics are a bit...
Copy !req
571. Machiavellian.
Copy !req
572. Are you and Ellen wrestling fans, Lar?
Copy !req
573. We... don't really follow it.
Copy !req
574. You should start.
Copy !req
575. Wrestling is the only
honest sport there is.
Copy !req
576. Do you know why?
Copy !req
577. Because it's so obviously dishonest.
Copy !req
578. I don't know what in the hell
that's supposed to mean.
Copy !req
579. It means people crave drama
more than truth.
Copy !req
580. Give the public a villain
and a hero to vanquish 'em,
Copy !req
581. they'll vote for the hero every time.
Copy !req
582. And Ellen Wilson? She's a genuine hero
if there ever was one.
Copy !req
583. Hell, she's the girl who caught the tank.
Copy !req
584. Congress, it's just the first step.
Copy !req
585. She could be the first woman president,
for Christ's sake.
Copy !req
586. I'm sorry,
I hope I didn't interrupt anything.
Copy !req
587. - Hey, Pam.
- Hi.
Copy !req
588. This is Lee Atwater.
Copy !req
589. - Pam's an old friend of Ellen's...
- Hi.
Copy !req
590. from the Apollo days.
Copy !req
591. She's staying with us while she's in town.
Copy !req
592. Nice to meet you, Pam.
Copy !req
593. Well, think it over, Lar.
Copy !req
594. Okay.
Copy !req
595. I'll be in Houston in a couple of weeks.
Love to get dinner with you and Ellen.
Copy !req
596. That'd be great. I'll show you out.
Copy !req
597. - Don't bother. I can find my way.
- Okay.
Copy !req
598. What was that about?
Copy !req
599. Lee is the...
Copy !req
600. special assistant to Ronald Reagan
for Political Affairs.
Copy !req
601. They want Ellen to run for Congress.
Copy !req
602. Yeah, I heard. That's amazing.
Copy !req
603. Did he really mean what he said? About...
Copy !req
604. Yeah.
Copy !req
605. It sounds crazy, I know. Right? But...
Copy !req
606. he's the man that could put her there.
Copy !req
607. Says she's the perfect candidate.
Copy !req
608. Well, except... for me.
Copy !req
609. - Pam, that's not—
- It's true, and you know it.
Copy !req
610. Dear Ellen,
Copy !req
611. I'm sorry. You deserve to hear
this from me in person,
Copy !req
612. but I don't have the courage for that.
Copy !req
613. You and I owe each other the truth,
Copy !req
614. and the truth is I still love Elise.
Copy !req
615. She and I shared a life together,
a life I turned away from
Copy !req
616. because seeing you brought back a rush
of old and wonderful feelings.
Copy !req
617. But my heart still belongs to her.
Copy !req
618. I hope you understand.
Copy !req
619. Love, Pam.
Copy !req
620. I thought I heard something.
What are you doing home?
Copy !req
621. It's from Pam.
Copy !req
622. She's gone back to Elise.
Copy !req
623. What?
Copy !req
624. Oh, Christ.
Copy !req
625. Oh, God, I'm so sorry, El.
Copy !req
626. I don't understand.
Copy !req
627. - I don't understand.
- It's okay.
Copy !req
628. It's okay.
Copy !req
629. Hello?
Copy !req
630. - And what I'm gonna tell you now
- Gordo?
Copy !req
631. Won't be easy to say
Copy !req
632. Before I left you
Copy !req
633. How long have you been behind the curtain?
Copy !req
634. I was a happy man
Copy !req
635. Now I've been so lonely
Copy !req
636. - Since I've been away
- You went for the high note. Okay.
Copy !req
637. And, girl, I've tried and I know
Copy !req
638. I can't make it alone
It's such a long way to go
Copy !req
639. - I just can't make it alone
- Please be quiet.
Copy !req
640. And there's something in my soul
Copy !req
641. This is juvenile.
Copy !req
642. - That's the—
- Stop. Stop.
Copy !req
643. You cannot seduce me
like one of your 19-year-old space bimbos.
Copy !req
644. No, no, no. Hey. No expectations.
Copy !req
645. It's just feelings.
You should try the wine.
Copy !req
646. Nothing else like it for 240,000 miles.
Copy !req
647. Smuggled it in a mouthwash bottle.
Copy !req
648. Oh, God.
Copy !req
649. That's terrible.
Copy !req
650. Maybe it is mouthwash.
Copy !req
651. Oh, God.
Copy !req
652. I know you, Tracy.
Copy !req
653. From the first flight in that old Cessna,
you had to be in control.
Copy !req
654. And from the very first moment I saw you,
I felt out of control.
Copy !req
655. And it scared the living shit out of me.
And I'm still scared.
Copy !req
656. But...
Copy !req
657. I'm just not running from it anymore.
Copy !req
658. That's one hell of a routine
just to bum a smoke.
Copy !req
659. You coming?
Copy !req
660. - I think I'm about to.
- Oh, God.
Copy !req
661. Jon, I've got four through six
to minimums. What do you see?
Copy !req
662. Temperature is still in the green.
Steady as a rock, Nat.
Copy !req
663. Even the black box still looks good.
Copy !req
664. Maybe one day
the spooks will tell us what it does.
Copy !req
665. Okay, bring up seven through ten.
Copy !req
666. Seven through ten, coming up.
Copy !req
667. Green board.
Copy !req
668. Good.
Copy !req
669. Nat, how much longer
before we're back on nuclear power?
Copy !req
670. We're there now. New fuel rods are in.
We're calibrating the actuators.
Copy !req
671. Awesome. We can finally quit
the power-saving protocols.
Copy !req
672. The old man awake?
Copy !req
673. Your guess is as good as mine.
Copy !req
674. What the hell is he doing out there?
Copy !req
675. Who?
Copy !req
676. We're gonna breach!
Copy !req
677. Depress! Depress!
Copy !req
