1. Hey, baby.
Copy !req
2. Sorry it's been so long
since my last message.
Copy !req
3. We've been working around the clock
to dig out the MSAM
Copy !req
4. and haul it over to Happy Valley
for repairs.
Copy !req
5. Basically sleeping over there
at this point.
Copy !req
6. I know that doesn't sound good,
but in a weird way, it's helping me,
Copy !req
7. helping all of us
to move past what happened.
Copy !req
8. And I think we might actually be able
to get Popeye back in flying shape
Copy !req
9. in time for the next launch window
back to Earth.
Copy !req
10. Problem is, it's going to take a while
Copy !req
11. to make enough fuel to launch
with the equipment we have left.
Copy !req
12. Well, that and figuring out a way
Copy !req
13. to squeeze all nine of us in there
for the launch.
Copy !req
14. Gonna be as tight as an Apollo capsule,
but we'll get there.
Copy !req
15. Off this rock, once and for all.
Copy !req
16. Goddamn this thing.
Copy !req
17. What now?
Copy !req
18. Sorry. It's just— At this rate,
with that puny little fuel generator,
Copy !req
19. we'll be lucky to have enough propellant
to make our launch date next month.
Copy !req
20. Can't it work any faster?
Copy !req
21. It was never meant to process
this much methane.
Copy !req
22. It's like filling up a jetliner
with a soda can.
Copy !req
23. Takes time.
Copy !req
24. I know, I know.
But have you smelled the base lately?
Copy !req
25. Those toilets were not made
for that many people.
Copy !req
26. You think once we leave,
they'll ever send anybody back to Mars?
Copy !req
27. - Doubt it. Not in my lifetime anyway.
- I think you're right.
Copy !req
28. All we can do is try and get
this thing ready in time for launch.
Copy !req
29. Roger that.
Copy !req
30. I'm due back at the sewer.
Copy !req
31. - Want me to send you anything?
- I already had my ration for today.
Copy !req
32. Early bird gets the worm.
Copy !req
33. Worm sounds about right.
Copy !req
34. Don't work too hard.
Copy !req
35. Roger that.
Copy !req
36. All right, what you got?
Copy !req
37. Ready? All right.
Copy !req
38. That— Yeah, you got— Okay, all right.
Copy !req
39. You're getting closer, Lou.
Copy !req
40. - Hey, Skipper.
- How's fuel production going?
Copy !req
41. "Moving like molasses,"
as you Americans say.
Copy !req
42. Sort of like you.
Copy !req
43. Hey.
Copy !req
44. How's it?
Copy !req
45. Hey, hey, hey.
I wasn't finished with that.
Copy !req
46. Yeah, well, I got seniority.
Copy !req
47. Here you go, kiddo.
Copy !req
48. That stuff makes me nauseous.
Copy !req
49. My grandson gotta eat.
Copy !req
50. So it's a "him" today?
Copy !req
51. You know, whichever way it goes.
Copy !req
52. Edward is a great name. Girl or boy.
Copy !req
53. I was thinking something like "Ariella."
Copy !req
54. Ariella? You want her to end up
selling bath beads and patchouli?
Copy !req
55. Hey, you're gonna need a lot
of homeopathic remedies in your old age.
Copy !req
56. - Astronaut Baldwin.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
57. You've been avoiding me. Again.
Copy !req
58. And failing again.
Copy !req
59. Follow me.
Copy !req
60. See? That's why
no one trusts a flight surgeon.
Copy !req
61. 'Cause they're always
on the hunt for bad news.
Copy !req
62. You mean news like Mars radiation could
damage the child's DNA?
Copy !req
63. Or weak gravity could impede
its bone development?
Copy !req
64. Jesus, doc. Go easy.
Copy !req
65. I will go easy after we get her
up to Phoenix for the birth.
Copy !req
66. It was not my idea to have a baby
on this forsaken planet.
Copy !req
67. Yes, as you remind me every day.
Copy !req
68. Mouth closed.
Copy !req
69. How is your wound, Commander?
Copy !req
70. Yeah, cream helped the pain.
Thank you.
Copy !req
71. Good.
Copy !req
72. Have you figured out how to make
one of your pressure suits fit her
Copy !req
73. for the MSAM launch?
Copy !req
74. The hard shell's still a problem,
Copy !req
75. but NASA's got two teams
of their best and brightest
Copy !req
76. working on it around the clock.
Copy !req
77. Meaning they haven't come up with
anything yet.
Copy !req
78. So much for NASA's fabled ingenuity.
Copy !req
79. 130 over 85.
Copy !req
80. Still higher than I'd like.
Copy !req
81. You should just use Soviet suit.
Material is more flexible.
Copy !req
82. - Yeah, that might actually work.
- Of course.
Copy !req
83. Activity?
Copy !req
84. She's either playing handball
or the bongos in there.
Copy !req
85. Do you want to hear?
Copy !req
86. Dad.
Copy !req
87. Now, by the time Kelly Baldwin gives birth
to America's favorite baby Martian
Copy !req
88. two months from now…
Copy !req
89. the child will have enough booties
to last a lifetime.
Copy !req
90. The decision to proceed
with the pregnancy,
Copy !req
91. which some regard as controversial
Copy !req
92. in light of the dangerous conditions
on the planet,
Copy !req
93. has nonetheless captured the imagination
of people around the world.
Copy !req
94. And that's why NASA wants the baby
to be born aboard the Phoenix?
Copy !req
95. That's right. People aboard Phoenix
experience full Earth gravity, which is…
Copy !req
96. And to distract us from the disaster
that it really is,
Copy !req
97. the Wilson administration
feeds the media tidbits
Copy !req
98. about Kelly Baldwin's Mars baby.
Copy !req
99. Does President Wilson really think
we're that naive?
Copy !req
100. You and I both know
the Mars program has been a fiasco.
Copy !req
101. This bill will restore a system
of checks and balances
Copy !req
102. by giving Congress direct authority
over the agency's budget—
Copy !req
103. And give you the ability
to redline specific programs.
Copy !req
104. If I sign this bill,
Congress will defund the Mars program.
Copy !req
105. No one will go back, maybe ever,
and space exploration will slowly die.
Copy !req
106. If I were you, Madam President,
I would think less about space
Copy !req
107. and more about next year's election.
Copy !req
108. Your concern for my political future
moves me to the brink of tears, Dick.
Copy !req
109. Have you seen the homeless encampments
spreading across our major cities?
Copy !req
110. Filled with former oil and gas workers,
coal miners.
Copy !req
111. People put out of work
by helium-3 and nuclear fusion.
Copy !req
112. We need to fix things here on Earth
Copy !req
113. before we spend trillions
gallivanting to far-off planets.
Copy !req
114. The space program is
making life here on Earth better.
Copy !req
115. And I won't undermine
all the progress we've made.
Copy !req
116. So, go ahead and pass your bill, Dick.
Copy !req
117. And I will veto it.
Copy !req
118. I'm very disappointed to hear that.
Copy !req
119. Madam President,
may I speak with you in private?
Copy !req
120. As I'm sure you're aware,
a few months ago,
Copy !req
121. staff for Congressman
Willie Baron discovered
Copy !req
122. that your husband was having an affair
with a White House employee.
Copy !req
123. A slanderous rumor.
Copy !req
124. Congressman Baron failed to produce
a shred of evidence for one reason.
Copy !req
125. It never happened.
Copy !req
126. So your husband claimed under oath.
Copy !req
127. If we were to discover that
Mr. Wilson was lying to the committee,
Copy !req
128. you understand that he would be open
to a charge of perjury?
Copy !req
129. Where are you going with this?
Copy !req
130. Madam President,
Copy !req
131. is it true that you have
a recording system in the Oval Office?
Copy !req
132. We have a source who claims
Copy !req
133. that a recording system first installed
by John F. Kennedy is still in use.
Copy !req
134. Even if there was
a recording system in use,
Copy !req
135. those tapes would be protected
by executive privilege.
Copy !req
136. We'll see what the courts say about that.
Copy !req
137. We are going to subpoena any recordings
made in this office
Copy !req
138. on the week of your husband's testimony.
Copy !req
139. If there was any attempt at a cover-up,
Copy !req
140. not only will he be charged with perjury,
Copy !req
141. you will be impeached
for obstruction of justice.
Copy !req
142. You can't be serious.
Copy !req
143. Congress hasn't impeached a president
in more than 120 years.
Copy !req
144. This is a new low, even for you.
Copy !req
145. Well, that's rich coming from a woman
who had Karl Rove and Lee Atwater
Copy !req
146. to do her dirty work so her image could
remain as pure as driven snow.
Copy !req
147. All those robocalls about
Bill Clinton's supposed secret love child,
Copy !req
148. and now you wanna claim the high ground?
Copy !req
149. What's your point, Dick? Do you have one?
Copy !req
150. Sign the NASA bill.
Copy !req
151. It's the smart move.
Copy !req
152. Because if the press were to find out
about Larry's… indiscretion,
Copy !req
153. your political standing would evaporate
even more than it already has.
Copy !req
154. And I'd easily be able
to override your veto.
Copy !req
155. Now, I don't want to go that road
if I don't have to.
Copy !req
156. But make no mistake,
Copy !req
157. I will use every tool at my disposal
to make this bill law.
Copy !req
158. Glad you could come.
Copy !req
159. To your garage?
Copy !req
160. I want you to look at something
and… tell me I'm not crazy.
Copy !req
161. Jesus Christ.
Copy !req
162. During the rescue of the cosmonauts,
Copy !req
163. I discovered that their nuclear
engine design was almost identical
Copy !req
164. to an early version of ours.
Copy !req
165. Someone at NASA gave it to them.
Copy !req
166. Margo?
Copy !req
167. She's the only one
who had access to everything.
Copy !req
168. But— But Margo? Margo Madison?
Copy !req
169. She's the head of NASA.
Copy !req
170. She's been trying to beat the Russians
for three decades.
Copy !req
171. Why would she do this?
It doesn't make sense.
Copy !req
172. I don't know.
But I can't get this out of my head, Bill.
Copy !req
173. I feel like I really am going crazy.
Copy !req
174. Yeah, clearly.
Copy !req
175. This is like the lair of a Batman villain.
Copy !req
176. Let me lay it all out for you.
Copy !req
177. If you still think I'm crazy,
Copy !req
178. I'll burn all of it.
Copy !req
179. I'm gonna need another beer.
Copy !req
180. I'm proud to announce
that we are about to begin production
Copy !req
181. on Calypso,
which will be ready to launch in 1999.
Copy !req
182. Unlike Phoenix, Calypso will run
on nuclear plasma propulsion,
Copy !req
183. and she'll have enough power to travel
to the Red Planet almost anytime,
Copy !req
184. even outside the normal launch windows.
Copy !req
185. And we're building two more just like it,
Copy !req
186. which will allow us to rapidly expand
our footprint on the Red Planet.
Copy !req
187. Over the next decade, our base will grow
to include several mining operations,
Copy !req
188. a spaceport, greenhouses for crops,
Copy !req
189. and dormitories that will house
thousands of colonists in the new—
Copy !req
190. Just stop there.
Copy !req
191. Need I remind you,
Copy !req
192. an entire fucking mountain
just came down on us,
Copy !req
193. wiping out nearly every asset we had.
Copy !req
194. Not to mention the three people who died.
Copy !req
195. Yes.
Copy !req
196. But do any of you remember Jamestown?
Copy !req
197. Not the lunar base,
Copy !req
198. but the first permanent English settlement
in Virginia, founded in 1607.
Copy !req
199. Do any of you know how many settlers died
in the first three years?
Copy !req
200. Eighty percent.
Copy !req
201. From disease.
Copy !req
202. From starvation.
Copy !req
203. From the elements.
Copy !req
204. Suppose the original settlers said,
you know, "This is just— just too hard.
Copy !req
205. Let's just forget about this new world
with its unlimited possibilities
Copy !req
206. and go back to Mother England
with our tail between our legs."
Copy !req
207. Could you imagine that?
Copy !req
208. My God, Dicky…
Copy !req
209. you have lost sight of the big picture.
Copy !req
210. We found water.
Copy !req
211. Enough to sustain a colony of thousands.
Copy !req
212. It doesn't change the fact
that our stock price is in a free fall.
Copy !req
213. Antitrust lawyers at DOJ
are sniffing around,
Copy !req
214. and we just got back the liability report
from the accident
Copy !req
215. saying that one of our employees
caused the fucking landslide.
Copy !req
216. So on top of everything else,
now we're vulnerable to massive lawsuits.
Copy !req
217. The board has discussed this at length,
Copy !req
218. and… we no longer share your optimism.
Copy !req
219. Helios has squandered billions
on this— this fantasy of yours.
Copy !req
220. We've decided to pivot back
to our core business,
Copy !req
221. mining helium-3 on the moon.
Copy !req
222. There will be no more missions to Mars.
Copy !req
223. Guys, I know this is stressful.
Copy !req
224. No one is more keenly aware
of this than me.
Copy !req
225. You give me a little more time,
Copy !req
226. and I'ma pull us out of this hole.
Copy !req
227. I promise.
Copy !req
228. You couldn't keep it in your pants
for one term, Larry?
Copy !req
229. - One term?
- I know I messed up,
Copy !req
230. but if Baron had more,
he would've used it.
Copy !req
231. It's go-gonna blow over.
It'll be fine.
Copy !req
232. "Fine"? You lied under oath.
Copy !req
233. - Don't you get that?
- They set me up.
Copy !req
234. Plain and simple. It was a trap.
Copy !req
235. They didn't force you
to sleep with him, did they?
Copy !req
236. What is so special about Jeremy Zielke
that you're willing to throw away
Copy !req
237. everything we've worked
our entire lives to build?
Copy !req
238. Our careers. Our family.
Copy !req
239. Well, that was way worse
than I remembered it.
Copy !req
240. What the hell do we do?
Copy !req
241. If they hear any of that,
you'll go to jail and I'll be impeached.
Copy !req
242. We don't need to give in on this.
Copy !req
243. It's your personal property.
Copy !req
244. It's protected by executive privilege.
Copy !req
245. No. They'll take it to the Supreme Court,
and we'll probably lose.
Copy !req
246. And if we do, it'll weaken not only me
but every president who succeeds me.
Copy !req
247. Okay, so,
Copy !req
248. maybe we give the appearance
of cooperating.
Copy !req
249. Send them transcripts of the tapes.
Copy !req
250. Black out the incriminating portions
Copy !req
251. and claim
they relate to national security.
Copy !req
252. No one will buy that.
Copy !req
253. No.
Copy !req
254. Okay, suppose…
Copy !req
255. Suppose
the recording device malfunctioned.
Copy !req
256. And for some reason,
this portion is just blank.
Copy !req
257. We don't know why.
We're not recording technicians.
Copy !req
258. You mean erase it?
Copy !req
259. That would expose us
to further charges of obstruction.
Copy !req
260. You're right.
Copy !req
261. And what happens
when Jeremy gets out of rehab?
Copy !req
262. They'll force him to testify.
Copy !req
263. Would he commit perjury for you?
Copy !req
264. Probably not.
Copy !req
265. He was…
Copy !req
266. He was pretty pissed
about being cut loose.
Copy !req
267. There is one way out.
Copy !req
268. I'll call a press conference,
Copy !req
269. and I'll confess to the world
that I had an affair with Jeremy.
Copy !req
270. I'll tell them you knew nothing about it.
That you didn't know that I was gay.
Copy !req
271. That it was all on me.
Copy !req
272. I betrayed my loving wife…
Copy !req
273. whose only sin was
falling for a lying philanderer.
Copy !req
274. Larry, you can't do that.
You'd— You'd be a—
Copy !req
275. What? A pariah?
Copy !req
276. A laughingstock? A national joke?
Copy !req
277. I'm getting used to that.
Copy !req
278. I can't let you do this.
Copy !req
279. Give me a chance to make things right.
Copy !req
280. And the vibrational profile
of their hydrogen turbopump.
Copy !req
281. The impeller blade pass frequency
is 2165 hertz.
Copy !req
282. Exactly the same as ours.
Copy !req
283. You'd think they would've shifted it
a few hertz to try and hide it.
Copy !req
284. Yeah, it's like
they're trying to fuck with me.
Copy !req
285. So I thought it might be Lainey.
Copy !req
286. She was there
for the whole impeller redesign.
Copy !req
287. And that's how I eliminated you
as a suspect.
Copy !req
288. You thought it was me?
Copy !req
289. You did leave NASA in a hurry.
Copy !req
290. Can't tell if I'm insulted or flattered.
Copy !req
291. Anyway,
Copy !req
292. after this process of elimination…
Copy !req
293. Margo was the only one left.
Copy !req
294. It had to be her.
Copy !req
295. So, what do you think?
Copy !req
296. Please tell me I'm crazy.
Copy !req
297. You are not crazy.
Copy !req
298. We need to talk to her. Find out why she—
Copy !req
299. You have to go to the FBI, Aleida.
Copy !req
300. What? No.
Copy !req
301. No fucking way. Bill…
Copy !req
302. - you know what they did to my father.
- I know. You think I want this?
Copy !req
303. I love Margo as much as anybody,
Copy !req
304. but this is some heavy-duty national
security shit we're talking about.
Copy !req
305. Who knows how far it's gone?
Copy !req
306. I mean…
she's basically a fucking spy, Aleida.
Copy !req
307. - Stop.
- She is.
Copy !req
308. It makes me wanna vomit,
but it's the truth.
Copy !req
309. You have to go to the FBI with this.
Copy !req
310. Bill, no.
Copy !req
311. - Hey, got a sec?
- Of course.
Copy !req
312. I've been going through our financials
since the board meeting, and…
Copy !req
313. I think we need to face reality here.
Copy !req
314. We can't keep this company solvent,
Copy !req
315. let alone expand our footprint on Mars,
without an infusion of cash.
Copy !req
316. And we need it fast.
Copy !req
317. I'm guessing you have something in mind?
Copy !req
318. I think that our best move
to generate revenue
Copy !req
319. and get us out of this hole
Copy !req
320. is we sell Phoenix to NASA.
Copy !req
321. Absolutely not.
Copy !req
322. Are you kidding?
Copy !req
323. Besides, they'd never go for it.
Copy !req
324. They will.
Copy !req
325. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
326. I approached some people that I know
within the agency
Copy !req
327. and quietly floated the idea.
Copy !req
328. And the response was really positive.
Copy !req
329. - They feel as though—
- You approached NASA
Copy !req
330. without my permission?
Copy !req
331. Your permission? I'm COO of this company.
Copy !req
332. You told them we're so desperate
for cash, we'd be willing—
Copy !req
333. - That is not what I said at all.
- But they can put the pieces together.
Copy !req
334. You just gave Margo Madison
all the ammunition she needs
Copy !req
335. to publicly humiliate me.
Copy !req
336. I am trying to save your company—
our company— from insolvency.
Copy !req
337. - We don't need anybody's help.
- The numbers don't lie.
Copy !req
338. No, but they don't always tell
the full story.
Copy !req
339. Have some faith, Karen.
Copy !req
340. Christ. Look.
Copy !req
341. The rendezvous radar must have taken
a beating in the slide.
Copy !req
342. Without that—
Copy !req
343. Popeye won't be able to dock with Phoenix.
Copy !req
344. Maybe it's not that bad.
Copy !req
345. Help me get this housing off.
Copy !req
346. Oh, shit. Shit! Shit! Shit!
Copy !req
347. Primary integration card is toast.
Copy !req
348. And the spare is aboard Phoenix.
Copy !req
349. Might as well be on Jupiter.
Copy !req
350. Will, does Sojourner have
a rendezvous system we can use?
Copy !req
351. Negative. It was a part
of the original design,
Copy !req
352. but it was never installed.
Copy !req
353. - Why not?
- Well, we weren't planning on docking
Copy !req
354. with anything on this mission,
Copy !req
355. and, we were in a big-ass hurry
to catch you guys and launch in '94.
Copy !req
356. Yes. Free-market competition
pays dividends yet again.
Copy !req
357. Yeah.
Copy !req
358. What are we gonna do?
Copy !req
359. We can't dock with Phoenix.
Copy !req
360. We'll miss
the next launch window to Earth.
Copy !req
361. We'll be stranded here.
Copy !req
362. We can't fabricate one of these ourselves?
Copy !req
363. Unless you want to go to Kyiv
for the parts.
Copy !req
364. It's a damn shame Helios didn't buy
their rendezvous systems
Copy !req
365. from the good old US of A.
Copy !req
366. Yeah, and Popeye won't get
close enough to Phoenix
Copy !req
367. for dock and capture without it.
Copy !req
368. Pity we didn't take this Kurs unit
from the Soviet ship
Copy !req
369. before we cut her loose.
Copy !req
370. Well, there are more of them
already here on Mars.
Copy !req
371. - There are?
- Where?
Copy !req
372. We have five Kurs Novaya-Aktivnaya units
Copy !req
373. on the surface of Mars.
Copy !req
374. They're on sample-return probes
Copy !req
375. we were hoping to retrieve
with our Mars ship.
Copy !req
376. The problem is,
Copy !req
377. the closest one is
over 1,500 kilometers from Happy Valley.
Copy !req
378. The trip would take a month
if everything goes right,
Copy !req
379. and we can't wait that long
to get Kelly Baldwin up to Phoenix.
Copy !req
380. Miss Catiche,
Copy !req
381. didn't Russia sell your rendezvous system
to other countries?
Copy !req
382. It is true.
Copy !req
383. We sold Kurs units
to India, Turkey and to North Korea.
Copy !req
384. Bill, does Helios have a way
of accessing the locations
Copy !req
385. of every Turkish, North Korean
and Indian probe that's been sent to Mars?
Copy !req
386. Sure. Yeah, one second.
Copy !req
387. How far is the closest?
Copy !req
388. So this one here is 89 kilometers out.
Copy !req
389. It looks like it belongs to
the People's Republic of Korea.
Copy !req
390. That's the probe they launched
in the '94 window.
Copy !req
391. I remember it docked in low Earth orbit,
probably to refuel.
Copy !req
392. Which makes it pretty certain that it has
an automated docking system.
Copy !req
393. It will be Kurs-NA.
Copy !req
394. Or a clone of it.
Copy !req
395. I'd say we have a winner.
Copy !req
396. North Korea approved this?
Copy !req
397. Better to ask for forgiveness later
than beg for permission now.
Copy !req
398. This goes against
almost all of our safety protocols.
Copy !req
399. We can only spare one rover.
Copy !req
400. It's nine hours each way,
far beyond walk-back range.
Copy !req
401. Sounds like fun. Sign me up.
Copy !req
402. Sorry, Ed. You're more familiar
with the Helios systems than anybody…
Copy !req
403. - Come on.
- …and we need those working
Copy !req
404. to get off this planet.
Copy !req
405. No, no. I'm not risking
any of your people on this.
Copy !req
406. Kurs-NA is a newer design,
Copy !req
407. and Baranov isn't familiar
with the new iteration,
Copy !req
408. and Mayakovsky's required here
for pregnancy.
Copy !req
409. The rovers are NASA gear.
Copy !req
410. Will is working on the MSAM,
so the choice is pretty clear.
Copy !req
411. You and me.
Copy !req
412. I can't fucking believe you did this.
Copy !req
413. Just hear what she has to say.
Copy !req
414. Here you go.
Copy !req
415. - Thank you.
- Welcome.
Copy !req
416. Look, whatever you think is gonna happen,
Copy !req
417. you should know
I don't care much for the FBI.
Copy !req
418. I wouldn't either if I were you.
Copy !req
419. Bill told me what happened
with your father.
Copy !req
420. It wasn't right.
Copy !req
421. Well, isn't that nice?
Copy !req
422. What else did you share
with your little friend here, Bill?
Copy !req
423. - I'm just trying to help you.
- Gee. Thanks.
Copy !req
424. I know this is not
an easy position to be in,
Copy !req
425. and I am truly sorry
about what happened to your father.
Copy !req
426. Frankly, I don't blame you
for not trusting us.
Copy !req
427. And I'm guessing it's just a coincidence
that they had you talk to me,
Copy !req
428. of all the agents.
Copy !req
429. I'm sure it's not.
Copy !req
430. Look, the FBI is not perfect.
Copy !req
431. But you and I, we both took the same oath
when we started working for this country,
Copy !req
432. to support and defend
the Constitution of the United States
Copy !req
433. against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Copy !req
434. And I know you care
about what happened here,
Copy !req
435. or you wouldn't have reached out to Bill.
Copy !req
436. I don't care what the fuck you say.
Copy !req
437. I'm not helping you.
Copy !req
438. That's your choice.
Copy !req
439. You don't have to cooperate,
Copy !req
440. but we're moving forward
with this regardless.
Copy !req
441. The case file is open.
We'll get to the bottom of what happened.
Copy !req
442. And at some point,
you'll be called to testify against her.
Copy !req
443. - Is that a threat?
- No. It's a fact.
Copy !req
444. So be it.
Copy !req
445. Come on, Aleida.
Just sit down. Just hear what—
Copy !req
446. I don't wanna hear another word
out of you. Do you get that?
Copy !req
447. You're fucking dead to me.
Copy !req
448. Aleida? Aleida!
Copy !req
449. What's the matter?
Copy !req
450. Are you okay?
Copy !req
451. I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do.
Copy !req
452. Are you in trouble?
Copy !req
453. My daughter.
Copy !req
454. No, Papa.
Copy !req
455. It's nothing.
Copy !req
456. I'll figure it out.
Copy !req
457. There…
Copy !req
458. There, there, there…
Copy !req
459. My Graciana…
Copy !req
460. Don't cry.
Copy !req
461. Don't cry, my love.
Copy !req
462. Graciana?
Copy !req
463. No, Papa.
Copy !req
464. It's your daughter, Aleida.
Copy !req
465. Not Mama.
Copy !req
466. I know.
Copy !req
467. I know, my daughter.
Copy !req
468. Everything will be all right.
Copy !req
469. Everything will be all right.
Copy !req
470. Danielle, how many spare batteries
do you think we need?
Copy !req
471. We'll be back by tomorrow.
The extra weight will just slow us down.
Copy !req
472. I'd rather have the juice and not need it.
Copy !req
473. Solar cells can break, and I don't fancy
an 89-kilometer walk back home. Do you?
Copy !req
474. Happy Valley. Phoenix.
Copy !req
475. Happy Valley. Phoenix.
Copy !req
476. Phoenix. Happy Valley.
Copy !req
477. Priority uplink from Helios.
Copy !req
478. It's the drilling accident
investigation report.
Copy !req
479. Sending it over now.
Copy !req
480. Finally. They took
their good sweet time about it.
Copy !req
481. - Got it, Phoenix.
- Roger. Phoenix out.
Copy !req
482. What does it say?
Copy !req
483. It's wrapped up
in a bunch of bureaucratic verbiage,
Copy !req
484. but bottom line,
they're calling it an operator error.
Copy !req
485. Who?
Copy !req
486. They're putting it on Nick Corrado
for, quote,
Copy !req
487. "failure to correctly monitor
housing pressure
Copy !req
488. and take appropriate action
at reservoir penetration,"
Copy !req
489. end quote.
Copy !req
490. Typical cover-your-ass move.
Copy !req
491. Yep, blame the dead guy.
Copy !req
492. Then you can't be sued
for building crappy gear.
Copy !req
493. - Same in the Soviet system.
- This is bullshit.
Copy !req
494. But to put that on Nick?
Copy !req
495. I mean, it's bad enough
the landslide killed him,
Copy !req
496. but now they're trying to pin
the whole thing on him? It's not right.
Copy !req
497. I mean,
how'd they even come up with that report?
Copy !req
498. Yeah, this whole thing,
it's a load of bullshit!
Copy !req
499. Yeah?
Copy !req
500. Heard about your plan to sell Phoenix.
Copy !req
501. Dev told you?
Copy !req
502. Well, we're not exactly speaking
at the moment.
Copy !req
503. Like you, I've got contacts at NASA,
and they're very keen on this idea.
Copy !req
504. Yeah, I know. Come on in.
Copy !req
505. I tried to sell Dev on the idea,
and he just wouldn't listen.
Copy !req
506. He's… changed.
Copy !req
507. Quite a bit since we first met.
Copy !req
508. At MIT, right?
Copy !req
509. Intro to Nuclear Physics.
Copy !req
510. Where you two first figured out
how to crack nuclear fusion.
Copy !req
511. Yeah, and back then everyone was desperate
Copy !req
512. to be the one
who finally figured fusion out.
Copy !req
513. Trouble was,
nobody could make the reaction last.
Copy !req
514. Until Dev.
Copy !req
515. He figured out a way
to bring helium-3 nuclei together
Copy !req
516. and keep the reaction going.
Copy !req
517. And brought the world cheap, clean energy.
Copy !req
518. Watching him work,
I knew I was in the presence of greatness.
Copy !req
519. He was unlike
any other engineer I'd ever met.
Copy !req
520. So, what happened? Why are you two
always at each other's throats?
Copy !req
521. Simple.
Copy !req
522. I'm the only one who tells him "no."
Copy !req
523. The little word no one likes to hear.
Copy !req
524. - Especially not Dev.
- No. No.
Copy !req
525. The man's been swallowed alive
by his own myth.
Copy !req
526. And now so will this company.
Copy !req
527. Unless we move forward with your plan,
selling Phoenix to NASA.
Copy !req
528. I've already pitched the idea
to the board.
Copy !req
529. - They think it's a stroke of genius.
- And Dev is never going to approve it.
Copy !req
530. That won't be an issue.
We've decided to remove him as CEO.
Copy !req
531. You— I'm sorry, you're firing Dev?
Copy !req
532. He'll still have a seat on the board,
but strictly in an advisory capacity.
Copy !req
533. Who are you going to get to replace him?
Copy !req
534. You.
Copy !req
535. Lar?
Copy !req
536. Hi. What time is it?
Copy !req
537. It's a little after 9:00.
You— You want me to take him up to bed?
Copy !req
538. No, no, that's okay. I can do it.
Come on, pal.
Copy !req
539. You ready?
Copy !req
540. Ready? Three, two, one.
Copy !req
541. Oh, my gosh. You're heavy.
Copy !req
542. Goodness gracious.
Copy !req
543. Larry?
Copy !req
544. About tomorrow…
Copy !req
545. You don't have to do this.
Copy !req
546. We can find another way.
Copy !req
547. We've been over that.
There is no other way.
Copy !req
548. I wanna do this. I need to.
Copy !req
549. Hello, everyone.
Copy !req
550. Thank you for coming on such short notice.
Copy !req
551. I'd like to share something.
Copy !req
552. I…
Copy !req
553. I have something
I'd like to share with you all…
Copy !req
554. Good morning.
Copy !req
555. First of all, I would like to thank
the American people for their support
Copy !req
556. over the last two years.
Copy !req
557. Together, we have achieved great things.
Copy !req
558. Making America energy independent,
sharply reducing greenhouse gases
Copy !req
559. and developing new technologies
Copy !req
560. that will assure the United States remains
a dominant superpower
Copy !req
561. well into the 21st century.
Copy !req
562. And, of course, there was
our first manned mission to Mars.
Copy !req
563. And despite the recent casualties,
Copy !req
564. our journey to the Red Planet will go down
in history as a remarkable achievement,
Copy !req
565. equal to the Lewis and Clark expedition,
Copy !req
566. Ferdinand Magellan
circumnavigating the Earth,
Copy !req
567. and Aleksei Leonov landing on the moon
in June of 1969.
Copy !req
568. And yet, after all we have accomplished,
Copy !req
569. I come before you today
Copy !req
570. to confess that I have failed you.
Copy !req
571. Because I lied to you.
Copy !req
572. And in doing so,
I broke the covenant of trust
Copy !req
573. that is essential between a president
and the American people.
Copy !req
574. I not only failed to tell you the truth,
Copy !req
575. I also failed to protect the men and women
serving bravely in our armed forces.
Copy !req
576. I failed to stand up for some of
our most vulnerable fellow citizens
Copy !req
577. who have faced acts of prejudice
and discrimination.
Copy !req
578. And I failed to defend the rights
and the dignity of Will Tyler,
Copy !req
579. a brave American hero
Copy !req
580. serving his country on the surface of Mars
at this very moment.
Copy !req
581. And I failed someone very close to me
Copy !req
582. because I was afraid to stand up
and tell the truth.
Copy !req
583. I failed because I feared
what people would think of me,
Copy !req
584. and I failed to trust the compassion
and judgment of you,
Copy !req
585. the American people.
Copy !req
586. I underestimated you.
Copy !req
587. And for that, I am truly sorry.
Copy !req
588. I cannot correct my past mistakes,
Copy !req
589. but I can stop lying to you
Copy !req
590. right here, right now,
and give you the simple truth.
Copy !req
591. I'm gay,
Copy !req
592. and I have been since the day I was born.
Copy !req
593. Reactions to President Wilson's speech
Copy !req
594. have varied across the political spectrum,
Copy !req
595. with rallies in every major city.
Copy !req
596. Some have marched in support of
the nation's first gay president,
Copy !req
597. while vocal counterprotests denounce her
as a dangerous influence.
Copy !req
598. The Wilson Administration followed
the president's address to the nation
Copy !req
599. with an announcement today
that she will sign an executive order
Copy !req
600. to allow gay men and women
to openly serve in the military.
Copy !req
601. She also announced she will bestow
a presidential medal of freedom
Copy !req
602. on Will Tyler
Copy !req
603. for his extraordinary service
to his country on Mars
Copy !req
604. and for his courageous stand
on gay rights.
Copy !req
605. Well, holy shit!
Copy !req
606. - About time America came to her senses.
- Nice work, Ellen.
Copy !req
607. I have something to say.
Copy !req
608. You're a brave man, Will Tyler.
Copy !req
609. I'm honored… to be your friend.
Copy !req
610. Thank you, man.
Copy !req
611. All right, enough of this.
Let's start drinking.
Copy !req
612. I'm sure Kelly'd wanna hear about this.
Have you seen her?
Copy !req
613. She's in the jungle.
Copy !req
614. Kel, you have no idea
what President Wilson just—
Copy !req
615. Kelly! Kel!
Copy !req
616. Kel! Hey, hey! Sweetie?
Copy !req
617. Doc! Get in here!
Copy !req
618. - Mueller, bring the medkit!
- Yes, sir!
Copy !req
619. Kelly?
Copy !req
620. Her heart is pumping too fast.
Copy !req
621. Hang in there, kiddo.
Copy !req
622. Rover 1, Happy Valley.
Copy !req
623. Rover 1, Happy Valley. Come in.
Copy !req
624. Happy Valley, rover 1.
Copy !req
625. We've had an emergency here.
Copy !req
626. Kelly's condition has taken
a turn for the worst.
Copy !req
627. What's going on?
Copy !req
628. The doctor says she has preeclampsia.
Copy !req
629. We need you back here
with the Kurs system, and fast.
Copy !req
630. We are less than 15 minutes away
from the probe site.
Copy !req
631. We will be back as soon as we can.
Copy !req
632. Roger.
Copy !req
633. Looks like one of your old Soyuz ships.
Copy !req
634. People's Republic of Korea
isn't shy about borrowing designs.
Copy !req
635. What matters is it has a Kurs antenna.
Copy !req
636. Well, let's get it and go.
Copy !req
637. Danielle?
Copy !req
638. What in the hell?
Copy !req
639. Don't shoot. Don't shoot!
Copy !req
