1. I'm here in Pasadena with
the NASA Mission Control team...Copy !req
2. ..as they celebrate scientific history.Copy !req
3. The first close-up photographs of Mars...Copy !req
4. .. from the Viking Observer spacecraft.Copy !req
5. Photos that have created a stir...Copy !req
6. ..by revealing surprising
geologic information.Copy !req
7. The presence of large amounts of water
locked in Mars' polar ice caps.Copy !req
8. Water that some speculate could have
possibly sustained life on the planet.Copy !req
9. Even more controversial
is one image of a land formation.Copy !req
10. A formation that looks like
a sculpted human face.Copy !req
11. However, NASA officials are denying
it is an indication of an alien civilisation.Copy !req
12. It's no more than a trick of light and
shadows. A geologic anomaly.Copy !req
13. The only sculptors at work
are the solar winds...Copy !req
14. .. that blow across the surface of Mars
at 300mph, ten months a year.Copy !req
15. I'm seeing... I've got...Copy !req
16. How's it going out there?Copy !req
17. - There's something out here!
- Can you repeat that, Commander Belt?Copy !req
18. It's coming at me! Holy God!Copy !req
19. Pickup terminal sequence.Copy !req
20. Booster hydraulic
power units on.Copy !req
21. This is Shuttle Launch Control.
T minus one minute, 15 seconds.Copy !req
22. - OTC to CDR, how do you read?
- Loud and clear, OVCC.Copy !req
23. - Port setup, 2.0.
- Copy setup. 2. 0.Copy !req
24. CDR Houston, how do you read?Copy !req
25. Loud and clear.Copy !req
26. Side hatch closeout and
white room configuration complete.Copy !req
27. Retracting orbiter arm.Copy !req
28. - OMS pressure on. Cabin vent complete.
- Roger. We see that.Copy !req
29. All systems go for APU start.
Transfer to internal power.Copy !req
30. Pre-start complete. APU to inhibit.Copy !req
31. Oxygen vent hood retracted.Copy !req
32. External tank is at flight pressure.Copy !req
33. Lock your visors and initiate your 02 flow.Copy !req
34. - Y'all have a good trip.
- Roger that.Copy !req
35. T minus 20 seconds and counting.Copy !req
36. Go for auto-sequence start.Copy !req
37. Booster hydraulic units have started.Copy !req
38. T minus 10...Copy !req
39. Nine...Copy !req
40. Eight...Copy !req
41. Seven...Copy !req
42. Six...Copy !req
43. Five...Copy !req
44. Four...Copy !req
45. Three...Copy !req
46. Abort liftoff. Abort liftoff.Copy !req
47. System failure. Abort.Copy !req
48. Repeat. We have an abort liftoff
at T minus three seconds.Copy !req
49. What did the note say?Copy !req
50. That they worked for NASA and wanted
to talk to somebody from the FBI.Copy !req
51. - Why the cloak-and-dagger routine?
- I have no idea.Copy !req
52. - Think it's a crank?
- It's beginning to look that way.Copy !req
53. - My name is Michelle Generoo.
- Fox Mulder.Copy !req
54. I sent you the note.Copy !req
55. Hi. Special Agent Dana Scully.Copy !req
56. I'm sorry to have to take these precautions.
I flew up from Houston this morning.Copy !req
57. - I work at the Space Center there.
- In what capacity?Copy !req
58. I'm the Mission Control communications
commander for the Space Program.Copy !req
59. What brings you to Washington?Copy !req
60. I have reason to believe
a saboteur may be at work inside NASA.Copy !req
61. - You have evidence of sabotage?
- I don't know. I may.Copy !req
62. Two weeks ago, a shuttle mission was
scrubbed three seconds before liftoff...Copy !req
63. .. when an auxiliary power unit
valve malfunctioned.Copy !req
64. If the flight had not been aborted,Copy !req
65. .. the orbiter would have exploded
on the launch pad.Copy !req
66. This was sent to me in the mail.Copy !req
67. It's a material analysis that showsCopy !req
68. deep grooved scoring marks
inside this APU valve.Copy !req
69. Marks that could have
caused a malfunction.Copy !req
70. - Evidence of tampering?
- That's what it looks like but...Copy !req
71. The person who gave me your names said
you are experts in unexplained phenomena.Copy !req
72. It's unexplainable how and when
anybody could've done it.Copy !req
73. - How do you mean?
- The valve is made of ferrocarbon titanium.Copy !req
74. To score it would take extreme
temperatures. Launch pad temperatures.Copy !req
75. Anyone at NASA would say...Copy !req
76. ..it would be impossible for anyone
to do that type of damage undetected.Copy !req
77. - Any idea who may have sent that to you?
- No. No idea.Copy !req
78. But the official analysis of the malfunction
was simple mechanical failure.Copy !req
79. - Does anybody share your suspicions?
- If they do, they're not talking to the FBI.Copy !req
80. I believe in the Space Program.Copy !req
81. I believe in the people who run it. But
there's another launch window tomorrow.Copy !req
82. And my reasons may sound selfish,Copy !req
83. .. but my fiance is the shuttle commander
on that mission.Copy !req
84. Why would somebody
sabotage the space shuttle?Copy !req
85. If you're a terrorist, it's a potent symbol
of American progress and prosperity.Copy !req
86. If you're an opponent of big science,
NASA represents a vast money trench...Copy !req
87. .. that exists outside
the crucible of the democratic process.Copy !req
88. Then there are futurists who think
the shuttle is a rusty old bucketCopy !req
89. that we should mothball.Copy !req
90. A dinosaur spacecraft built in the '70s
by scientists setting their sights on space.Copy !req
91. And we thought we'd rest easy
when the Soviet Union fell.Copy !req
92. Not to mention fringe elements who accuse
our government itself of space sabotage.Copy !req
93. The failure of the Hubble telescope
and the Mars Observer connected...Copy !req
94. - ..to a conspiracy to deny us evidence.
- Evidence of what?Copy !req
95. Alien civilisations.Copy !req
96. Oh, of course!Copy !req
97. - Wow, look at that! Gemini Eight.
- What?Copy !req
98. The man we're gonna see, Colonel Marcus
Aurelius Belt, nearly died on that mission.Copy !req
99. Made an emergency landing
in the Pacific Ocean.Copy !req
100. - You remember all that stuff?
- You never wanted to be an astronaut?Copy !req
101. I guess I missed that phase.Copy !req
102. Come in.Copy !req
103. Colonel Belt, I'm Special Agent Dana Scully.Copy !req
104. - And this is...
- Colonel Belt. Fox Mulder.Copy !req
105. I'm a big fan. It's an honour to meet you.Copy !req
106. You were a big hero to me when I was a kid.Copy !req
107. Thank you.Copy !req
108. I... I stayed up all night when I was 14
to watch your space walk.Copy !req
109. Well, now it's like
a stroll around the block.Copy !req
110. So, how can I help you?Copy !req
111. This found its way to the FBI.Copy !req
112. Do you recognise it?Copy !req
113. Sure. It's an auxiliary power unit valve.Copy !req
114. Do you have any reason
to believe it was damaged...Copy !req
115. ..in an effort to sabotage
the Space Program?Copy !req
116. No.Copy !req
117. - Do you have reason to suspect it at all?
- No reason whatsoever.Copy !req
118. If you have any respect for this programCopy !req
119. and for those who have devoted
their lives to it,Copy !req
120. ..you'll be careful
to whom you make those accusations.Copy !req
121. Looking at this evidence, sir,Copy !req
122. .. would you consider
postponing the shuttle flight...Copy !req
123. .. until a full investigation can be conducted?Copy !req
124. I don't know where you got
this specious artefact,Copy !req
125. .. but every precaution has been taken
to rectify the problem.Copy !req
126. We've waited two weeks for a window
to initiate this mission.Copy !req
127. We've got a payload to deliver.Copy !req
128. Has an internal investigation
been done in this matter?Copy !req
129. The part you have here has been installed,
inspected and designed...Copy !req
130. ..by over 100 highly trained technicians.Copy !req
131. With the security measures we take,
it would be virtually impossible...Copy !req
132. .. for one man working by himself,
or two or four men,Copy !req
133. ..to do what you're suggesting.Copy !req
134. I can assure you,
there's no one in this facility...Copy !req
135. .. that doesn't want to see that shuttle
complete its mission,Copy !req
136. .. and come back like Winged Victory herself.Copy !req
137. And in about ten hours, God willing,Copy !req
138. ..you're gonna see just that.Copy !req
139. Do you think there'd be a problem with us
watching liftoff from Mission Control?Copy !req
140. Well, being that you'd probably go over
my head anyway, please, be my guests.Copy !req
141. It was an honour, sir.Copy !req
142. Thank you.Copy !req
143. Didn't you wanna get his autograph?Copy !req
144. Where did you say you got this?Copy !req
145. It came to us anonymously.Copy !req
146. This is an APU valve, all right.
But this doesn't make sense.Copy !req
147. - What doesn't make sense?
- This scoring here.Copy !req
148. This valve was made of
ferrocarbon titanium.Copy !req
149. - You didn't order the analysis?
- No. I've never seen this before.Copy !req
150. We're on outside contract to NASA.
They may have ordered it.Copy !req
151. But wouldn't you order
a material analysis if a part malfunctioned?Copy !req
152. Every shuttle flies
with that same APU valve.Copy !req
153. To do an analysis and redesign
would delay the Program for months.Copy !req
154. Not to mention the cost.Copy !req
155. Is it conceivable that
the Program is being pushed ahead...Copy !req
156. .. without proper safety precaution?Copy !req
157. There are about 17,000 things
that can go wrong with the shuttle.Copy !req
158. And about 17,000 people
who make sure they don't.Copy !req
159. Who makes
the final determination as to its safety?Copy !req
160. We make a recommendation
but the decision is Colonel Belt's.Copy !req
161. Thank you.Copy !req
162. What do you think?Copy !req
163. I can't believe
how much faith we put in machines.Copy !req
164. Do you think Colonel Belt
lied about his knowledge of a saboteur?Copy !req
165. I can't believe Colonel Belt would
endanger the lives of those astronauts.Copy !req
166. He was an astronaut himself.Copy !req
167. So you think this x-ray is bogus?Copy !req
168. God, I hope so.Copy !req
169. This is Shuttle Launch Control with T minus
one minute, 40 seconds and counting.Copy !req
170. - OVCC verified.
- Roger that. OVCC verified.Copy !req
171. Here we go.Copy !req
172. T minus one minute, 30 and counting.Copy !req
173. - Final purge sequence. Main engine check.
- Copy. Main engine check.Copy !req
174. Switching off ground supply.Copy !req
175. - On-board fuel cells check.
- Roger, OTC.Copy !req
176. Pickup terminal sequence FPS.Copy !req
177. - OTC to CDR, how do you read?
- Loud and clear.Copy !req
178. Capacitor energy storage banks all at 241.Copy !req
179. - OTC to CDR, how do you read?
- Loud and clear.Copy !req
180. CDR Houston, how do you read?Copy !req
181. Loud and clear.Copy !req
182. Side hatch closeout and
white room configuration complete.Copy !req
183. Retracting orbiter arm.Copy !req
184. - All systems go for APU start.
- Go with APU start.Copy !req
185. BBSR power down and ready for launch.Copy !req
186. - Transfer to internal power.
- Transfer to internal power.Copy !req
187. Gimballing of engines complete.
Aero surfaces in launch position.Copy !req
188. MPDR assembled.
Military recorder is running.Copy !req
189. OK. Copy.Copy !req
190. Oxygen vent hood retracted.
External tank is at flight pressure.Copy !req
191. CDR, lock your visors
and initiate your 02 flow.Copy !req
192. - Y'all have a good one.
- Roger that.Copy !req
193. Go for auto-sequence start.Copy !req
194. Booster hydraulic units have started.Copy !req
195. Go for main engine start.Copy !req
196. T minus 10 and counting. Nine...Copy !req
197. Eight... Seven...Copy !req
198. Six... Five... Four...Copy !req
199. Three... Two... One...Copy !req
200. Zero... Ignition...Copy !req
201. We have liftoff of the shuttle orbiter.Copy !req
202. CDR Houston, betcha y'all have
never seen a more beautiful sight.Copy !req
203. Roger that. Ten-four.Copy !req
204. I have to admit I've fulfilled
one of my boyhood fantasies.Copy !req
205. Yeah, it ranks up there with
learning how to braid my own hair.Copy !req
206. Come on, Scully,
you have to admit that was exciting.Copy !req
207. - Mission Control, the countdown...
- Mulder! Wait!Copy !req
208. - Something's gone wrong.
- What happened?Copy !req
209. Something's wrong with the shuttle.Copy !req
210. We had trouble with the rocket boosters,
but fixed it.Copy !req
211. We changed watch. I went home
to try to get some sleep.Copy !req
212. I got a call. Communication
with the shuttle is down.Copy !req
213. We've got to get back to Houston.Copy !req
214. There's a press blackout. Chances are
the media doesn't know about it.Copy !req
215. - You think this is sabotage?
- I don't know. Things go wrong all the time.Copy !req
216. - Yeah, but they usually fix them, right?
- Usually.Copy !req
217. She's turning.Copy !req
218. Michelle!Copy !req
219. - I can see her.
- Michelle!Copy !req
220. - Help!
- Are you all right?Copy !req
221. - Oh, I'm stuck!
- Can you move?Copy !req
222. Just get me out of here! I'm wedged in!Copy !req
223. - Are you all right?
- I'm wedged in!Copy !req
224. Come here. Can you push with your legs?Copy !req
225. - Be careful.
- Just get me out of here!Copy !req
226. OK! All right! Come on.Copy !req
227. Don't try to move.Copy !req
228. I've got to get back to Houston.Copy !req
229. - What happened?
- I don't know.Copy !req
230. Something came at me in the fog.Copy !req
231. The next thing I knew, I was upside down.Copy !req
232. - Was it some kind of an animal?
- No.Copy !req
233. It had a face. It was...Copy !req
234. It was grotesque.Copy !req
235. I don't know what it was.Copy !req
236. Orbiter, this is Houston. Do you copy?Copy !req
237. Your transmission is breaking up.Copy !req
238. What's happening?Copy !req
239. We have a malf
in the OMS and RCF systems.Copy !req
240. They can't get the orbiter
into attitude rotation.Copy !req
241. Temperature in the cabin is 103
and they have transmission problems.Copy !req
242. - What happened?
- I had an accident. What's their position?Copy !req
243. - Just over Eastern Africa.
- Try the Seychelles tracking station.Copy !req
244. Hang in there, OTC.Copy !req
245. The orbiter manoeuvring system is down.Copy !req
246. They can't rotate the shuttle to keep it away
from the sun and keep the orbiter cool.Copy !req
247. Drop in cabin pressure.
21 kilopascals and declining.Copy !req
248. They're gonna burn up.Copy !req
249. - Where's Colonel Belt?
- On his way.Copy !req
250. - Damn! What happened to backup?
- Failed to respond.Copy !req
251. What about telemetry?
Can we auto-activate from here?Copy !req
252. We cannot auto-activate.
It's like someone's interfering.Copy !req
253. - Screwing communications from this end.
- Can you trace it?Copy !req
254. - It'd have to be a digital processor.
- They'd have to be in the data banks.Copy !req
255. - Where's that?
- Come on.Copy !req
256. Mulder?Copy !req
257. I'm a federal agent!Copy !req
258. Come on out of there!Copy !req
259. - What are you doing in here?
- I work here.Copy !req
260. Let me see your clearance.Copy !req
261. A sensor went off. There was a malfunction.Copy !req
262. - Did you find it?
- No.Copy !req
263. Did you see anybody else in here?Copy !req
264. OK, call Security.
I want a search of the premises.Copy !req
265. No-one is to come in or out
of this building without proper clearance.Copy !req
266. - I'm breaking up, OTC.
- What's the attitude of the orbiter?Copy !req
267. Flying tail first, belly towards the sun.Copy !req
268. The flash evaporator system is working
but not enough to cool 'em down.Copy !req
269. - Cabin temperature 116.
- Where's...Copy !req
270. Somebody's jamming our transmissions.Copy !req
271. Interfering with our ground communications
and scrambling our uplink telemetry.Copy !req
272. The shuttle is not responding
to override signals.Copy !req
273. I'm gonna let 'em fly by wire.Copy !req
274. - I'm cutting off telemetry.
- It might not work.Copy !req
275. - We have to give it a chance.
- We have to bring them down.Copy !req
276. We have to give them control of the shipCopy !req
277. to perform that rotation
and deliver the payload.Copy !req
278. What if they can't?
We could be stranding them.Copy !req
279. Abandon telemetry. Go to fly-by-wire mode.Copy !req
280. They're cutting off ground control.
The astronauts will be flying the shuttle.Copy !req
281. Is it gonna work?Copy !req
282. OTC, this is Houston.Copy !req
283. How's the weather up there?Copy !req
284. Sunny and warm, Houston.
What's the forecast?Copy !req
285. OTC, we're going to fly-by-wire mode.Copy !req
286. We're going to abort ground control to see
if you can bring those systems back up.Copy !req
287. Roger that, Houston.Copy !req
288. And leave the driving to us.Copy !req
289. David...Copy !req
290. You take care.Copy !req
291. What just happened?Copy !req
292. They cut off contact with the shuttle.Copy !req
293. Negative.
We pulled off the MPG. We're on manual.Copy !req
294. 45 seconds.Copy !req
295. If they were able to execute,
they'd have done it by now.Copy !req
296. Standing by.Copy !req
297. 60 seconds.Copy !req
298. Go to re-establish uplink communication.Copy !req
299. Video signal's failed.Copy !req
300. OTC, this is Houston. Do you copy?Copy !req
301. OTC, this is Houston. Where are you?Copy !req
302. Howdy do, Houston?Copy !req
303. Looks like we finally got
this bird to fly right.Copy !req
304. - OTC, do you hear that?
- Music to our ears.Copy !req
305. Cabin temperature stabilising.Copy !req
306. OTC, this is Marc Belt in Houston.Copy !req
307. How's the crew holding up?Copy !req
308. They're looking good, sir.Copy !req
309. You all get some rest.Copy !req
310. We'll get back to work...Copy !req
311. - ..at about 0700.
- Roger that, Houston.Copy !req
312. Let's get to work
on that telemetry problem.Copy !req
313. We've got a big day ahead of us.Copy !req
314. Let's just let the electronic press...Copy !req
315. .. get their sound equipment set.Copy !req
316. I know you have a lot of questions.
I'll get to them.Copy !req
317. How did he know what he did
was going to work?Copy !req
318. He didn't. They could have died up there
and there's nothing we could have done.Copy !req
319. They'd have been a ghost ship stuck in orbit.Copy !req
320. Why would he take that risk?Copy !req
321. Bring those men back
without delivering that payload?Copy !req
322. You're talking millions of wasted dollars.Copy !req
323. That's all Congress would need
to shut down NASA.Copy !req
324. As of 2200 hours...Copy !req
325. .. the crew has been conducting
on-board tests and tasks...Copy !req
326. .. and resting up for their first
full day in space tomorrow.Copy !req
327. I'm happy to say,
after a beautiful night launch,Copy !req
328. .. the shuttle orbiter
has performed... magnificently.Copy !req
329. So much for your boyhood hero.Copy !req
330. Colonel Belt?Copy !req
331. Colonel Belt?
Can I talk to you for a moment?Copy !req
332. You want to know why I lied to them.Copy !req
333. You know what it means
to be an astronaut, sir?Copy !req
334. You risk your life every time
you get into your spacecraft.Copy !req
335. For nothing more than
the good progress of mankind.Copy !req
336. You've got no argument from me, sir.Copy !req
337. - You're true American heroes.
- Heroes?Copy !req
338. We used to make headlines
when we did our job right.Copy !req
339. Now they bury you in the back of the paper.Copy !req
340. Name two astronauts
in the last shuttle mission.Copy !req
341. You make the front page today
only if you screw up.Copy !req
342. They only know your name...Copy !req
343. .. if you're the unlucky s.o.b.
sitting on 500 tons of dynamite.Copy !req
344. That's what they're really waiting for.Copy !req
345. Sir, I have to ask.Copy !req
346. I'm sorry. It's my job.Copy !req
347. Do you think someone
is sabotaging the shuttle?Copy !req
348. My answer to you, sir, will be to
bring those men back safely to Earth.Copy !req
349. - I've got...
- How's it going out there?Copy !req
350. - There's something out here!
- Can you repeat that, Commander Belt?Copy !req
351. It's coming at me! Holy God!Copy !req
352. Houston, we just heard something weird.Copy !req
353. OTC, Houston. Can you describe it?Copy !req
354. Uh, sort of a dull thump like...
something bumped the ship!Copy !req
355. Have you got any ideas about that?Copy !req
356. There it is again!Copy !req
357. We're taking a look at it now.Copy !req
358. That one right there.Copy !req
359. They've got an oxygen leak
on board the orbiter.Copy !req
360. Our 02 gauges
are going all screwy, Houston.Copy !req
361. We got problems.
An O2 leak in the main tank.Copy !req
362. What did they say happened?Copy !req
363. They don't know. They said it was a thump.Copy !req
364. Stand by.Copy !req
365. An astronomer in Winnipeg just spotted a
mile-long gaseous cloud trailing in our orbit.Copy !req
366. The liquid 02 leaking out into space.Copy !req
367. Exactly what happened
to Colonel Belt on an Apollo mission.Copy !req
368. How much time do they have?Copy !req
369. Hard to say without accurate telemetry
data. We're doing a guesstimate.Copy !req
370. - Where is Colonel Belt?
- He was due 90 minutes ago...Copy !req
371. ..to begin payload deployment.Copy !req
372. Uh, Houston, we're up here wondering...Copy !req
373. - .. when do we start holding our breath?
- We're working on it, OTC.Copy !req
374. I need those calculations
and a worst-case scenario.Copy !req
375. We don't know
if both 02 tanks are damaged.Copy !req
376. Worst-case scenario!Copy !req
377. - And someone find Colonel Belt!
- We'll find him.Copy !req
378. They've got 30 minutes of oxygen.
Then it's anybody's guess.Copy !req
379. Why does she need Belt?Copy !req
380. She doesn't know how serious the leak is.Copy !req
381. Even I can figure out what happens
when you run out of oxygen.Copy !req
382. Colonel Belt's been in the same situation.
He'll know what to do.Copy !req
383. Where the hell is he?Copy !req
384. Colonel Belt!Copy !req
385. Colonel Belt!Copy !req
386. I'm gonna go get Security.Copy !req
387. Colonel Belt.Copy !req
388. Are you all right?Copy !req
389. Yeah, I wasn't feeling well.Copy !req
390. They need you at Mission Control.Copy !req
391. There's been another accident.Copy !req
392. OTC, is your orbital
manoeuvring system still operational?Copy !req
393. Roger, Houston. We're ready for re-entiy.
Just say the word.Copy !req
394. How bad's the leak?Copy !req
395. We have no way to determine.Copy !req
396. OTC.Copy !req
397. What's the condensation in your cabin?Copy !req
398. The windows are getting steamy.Copy !req
399. Carbon dioxide build-up.Copy !req
400. OK, OTC.Copy !req
401. Everything's gonna be fine.Copy !req
402. I want you to get in your spacesuits...Copy !req
403. .. and depressurise your cabin.Copy !req
404. And then I want you to... vent that CO2.Copy !req
405. - Roger, Houston. Then what?
- I want you to stay in your suits.Copy !req
406. And then I want you to prepare
to use your emergency oxygen systems.Copy !req
407. And then I want you to...Copy !req
408. ..to... deliver your payload.Copy !req
409. Those are men up there.Copy !req
410. You're out of line. You wanna tell me how
to do my job? I've been in that situation.Copy !req
411. There's more at risk than your personal life.
If you can't accept that...Copy !req
412. .. or operate effectively
in these circumstances,Copy !req
413. ..you'd better leave the decisions
to people in this room who can!Copy !req
414. OTC...Copy !req
415. ..do you copy?Copy !req
416. Roger, Houston. We're waiting on
those 02 calculations.Copy !req
417. Michelle!Copy !req
418. - They're gonna die!
- You don't know that.Copy !req
419. It's unconscionable putting that payload
before those men's lives!Copy !req
420. I think she's right, Mulder.
You saw him in there. He's losing it.Copy !req
421. - He saved their lives earlier.
- Or put them in unnecessary jeopardy.Copy !req
422. If he can't deliver that payload,
Congress will kill the Space Program.Copy !req
423. So will killing the astronauts.Copy !req
424. Somebody must have
sabotaged the shuttle.Copy !req
425. Too many things have gone wrong.Copy !req
426. - I think Colonel Belt knows about it.
- We've got to stop him.Copy !req
427. - Pull them out of orbit!
- He doesn't want them to die.Copy !req
428. - How do you know?
- I know it. I'm sure of it.Copy !req
429. - He put them up there!
- And only he can get them down alive.Copy !req
430. How can you be certain that what he's doing
isn't gonna save their lives?Copy !req
431. Now, I need access
to your records, in a hurry.Copy !req
432. Everything on
the Hubble Telescope, Mars Observer...Copy !req
433. .. and the current orbiter mission.Copy !req
434. Tens of thousands of documents.Copy !req
435. - What are we looking for?
- X-rays, diagrams, schematics.Copy !req
436. - Proof that Belt knew about a sabotage.
- A needle in a haystack.Copy !req
437. Payload deployment initiated.Copy !req
438. Roger that, OTC. Tracking it now.Copy !req
439. Looks good from here.Copy !req
440. Payload deliver is complete, Houston.Copy !req
441. We're awaiting your order.Copy !req
442. System check for re-entry de-orbit burn.Copy !req
443. Holy God! There's something
outside the ship that...Copy !req
444. - There's someone outside the ship!
- Can you repeat that, OTC?Copy !req
445. There's... some kind of...Copy !req
446. .. ghost outside the ship!Copy !req
447. No... No...Copy !req
448. No... No!Copy !req
449. No! No-o-o-o-o!Copy !req
450. Mulder? I found it.Copy !req
451. This is the same diagram
that was sent to Michelle.Copy !req
452. Ordered by Colonel Belt. Which means
he knew about the faulty valve.Copy !req
453. This is from the Challenger. It's the O-ring
fitting that failed, dated January 21, 1986.Copy !req
454. One week before the space shuttle blew up.Copy !req
455. The analysis was ordered by Colonel Belt.Copy !req
456. So he might have known
about the Challenger defect?Copy !req
457. Something weird is going on here, Scully.Copy !req
458. Colonel Belt's collapsed. He's in his office.Copy !req
459. He was just here!Copy !req
460. Oh, my God.Copy !req
461. What's wrong with him?Copy !req
462. Get a doctor.Copy !req
463. Help me!Copy !req
464. - Help me!
- How can we help you, Colonel?Copy !req
465. He's having some kind of a seizure.Copy !req
466. Come on! Come on, come on!Copy !req
467. No... They're... tearing me apart!Copy !req
468. Let me see if I can get a pulse.Copy !req
469. Oh... Help me!Copy !req
470. - I'm bringing that shuttle down.
- No-o-o-o!Copy !req
471. - It's out there!
- Come on, let's put him down.Copy !req
472. - Spacesuit...
- Easy, easy.Copy !req
473. - Strap him down!
- Give him 10mg of diazepam!Copy !req
474. - No!
- He's gonna hurt himself!Copy !req
475. He's trying to tell us something!
Colonel Belt?Copy !req
476. - Those men are running out of oxygen.
- They don't have to die.Copy !req
477. Colonel Belt, I want you to focus.
Focus your breathing.Copy !req
478. Focus your pain... right here.Copy !req
479. Blood pressure's 174 over 120.
Vitals are rising.Copy !req
480. - Mulder, you're risking an aneurysm.
- Focus!Copy !req
481. Now you're focused.Copy !req
482. Right here.Copy !req
483. Now you're gonna save those astronauts
and you're gonna tell me how to do it.Copy !req
484. The shuttle... can't survive re-entry.Copy !req
485. - He's lying.
- How do you know it can't survive?Copy !req
486. The fuselage... the fuselage is damaged.Copy !req
487. - The silicone tiles are destroyed.
- How does he know?Copy !req
488. - How has it been damaged?
- I'm responsible.Copy !req
489. - Did you sabotage the shuttle?
- No, but I couldn't stop them.Copy !req
490. Nobody could stop them!Copy !req
491. - Stop who?
- Pulse is 194.Copy !req
492. - You'll kill him, Mulder!
- Stop who?Copy !req
493. They don't want us to know!Copy !req
494. - They don't want us to know!
- Who?Copy !req
495. It came to me. It lives in me!Copy !req
496. It's coming at me! It's coming at me!Copy !req
497. No! Help me! It's coming back!Copy !req
498. That's the face I saw in the fog!Copy !req
499. - We're losing him!
- V-fib!Copy !req
500. Here you go.Copy !req
501. Clear!Copy !req
502. They just ran out of oxygen. They've got
30 minutes left in the emergency system.Copy !req
503. They'll suffocate up there. I've got to bring
them down. It's the only chance I've got.Copy !req
504. Again.Copy !req
505. Hold on. We've got vitals. We got a pulse.Copy !req
506. We've got to get him to a hospital.Copy !req
507. OTC, this is Houston, Mission Control.
Do you copy?Copy !req
508. Roger, Houston.Copy !req
509. We've got some spooky stuff up here.Copy !req
510. OTC, we're gonna bring you down.Copy !req
511. We want you to instigate de-orbit burn...Copy !req
512. .. and begin deceleration.Copy !req
513. Roger, Houston.
We kinda hoped you'd say that.Copy !req
514. Activating OMS rockets.
All systems go for re-entiy.Copy !req
515. They're bringing the shuttle down.Copy !req
516. You said the shuttle would burn up
on re-entry. Can we do anything to save it?Copy !req
517. Change the trajectory.Copy !req
518. - Change the trajectory to what?
- Change re-entry trajectory to 35 degrees.Copy !req
519. T minus 35 seconds
to ionosphere re-entry.Copy !req
520. - Change the re-entry trajectory!
- What?Copy !req
521. - Change it to 35 degrees!
- 30 seconds to re-entry.Copy !req
522. - Colonel Belt...
- I can't!Copy !req
523. - 25 seconds.
- It's your only shot!Copy !req
524. We'd have to change site
and tell them before the blackout.Copy !req
525. 15 seconds to blackout.Copy !req
526. I want to know the weather in Albuquerque!
Are we go for an emergency landing?Copy !req
527. Landing conditions go in Albuquerque.Copy !req
528. T minus 5 seconds to blackout.Copy !req
529. OTC, change your re-entry trajectory
to 35 degrees.Copy !req
530. You'll land at Kirtland Field
in Albuquerque. Do you copy?Copy !req
531. - Blackout in effect.
- Did they get that transmission?Copy !req
532. - Two minutes to re-establish.
- Damn it!Copy !req
533. - How much oxygen do they have?
- 16 minutes.Copy !req
534. OTC, this is Houston. Come in, OTC.Copy !req
535. OTC, this is Houston.Copy !req
536. Come in, OTC!Copy !req
537. Anything?Copy !req
538. - What's the point of their new re-entry?
- 500 miles west of Hawaii.Copy !req
539. See if Hawaii can...Copy !req
540. - Hawaii's got them on radar.
- They made it.Copy !req
541. Not necessarily.Copy !req
542. Albuquerque, do you have
radar confirmation?Copy !req
543. Negative, Houston. Nothing on the screen.Copy !req
544. OTC, this is Houston. Come in, OTC.Copy !req
545. OTC, this is Houston! Come in, OTC!Copy !req
546. Houston, this is OTC.Copy !req
547. You know a good place to eat
in Albuquerque?Copy !req
548. Thought we'd meet for dinner.Copy !req
549. Whoo! OTC, welcome home.Copy !req
550. Welcome home, OTC.
You're lookin' real good.Copy !req
551. Yes!Copy !req
552. The space shuttle touched down today
at 10.56 Central Standard Time.Copy !req
553. The orbiter delivered its payload
after just 13 orbits...Copy !req
554. .. and returned to Earth...Copy !req
555. without incident.Copy !req
556. We at NASA are looking forward
to our next shuttle mission...Copy !req
557. .. and to future successful explorations
of space, for mankind...Copy !req
558. .. and for the future of mankind.Copy !req
559. No more!Copy !req
560. Argh!Copy !req
561. I just heard.Copy !req
562. Something he must have seen
out there in space.Copy !req
563. The doctors who examined him said
he was experiencing severe dementia.Copy !req
564. I don't think he ever really knew...Copy !req
565. .. exactly how it was working through him.Copy !req
566. Or, if he ever knew,Copy !req
567. .. that he was...
responsible for his own actions.Copy !req
568. He ordered those x-rays
of the damaged parts.Copy !req
569. You saw what I saw, Scully.Copy !req
570. I think he was trying to warn her.Copy !req
571. I think he sent Michelle those x-rays like...
he was trying to reach out to her,Copy !req
572. .. without quite knowing why.Copy !req
573. As if his own instinctual impulse
was to... save those men.Copy !req
574. While simultaneously trying to kill them?Copy !req
575. Scully, we send those men up into space
to unlock the doors of the universe.Copy !req
576. And we don't even know
what's behind them.Copy !req
577. I think whatever it was,Copy !req
578. .. he took it with him.Copy !req
579. In the end, that was
the only way he knew how to stop it.Copy !req
580. There's an investigation, you know.Copy !req
581. They haven't ruled out foul play.Copy !req
582. He gave his own life.Copy !req
583. As an astronaut, that was something
he was prepared to do.Copy !req
584. Colonel Marcus Aurelius Belt
devoted his life...Copy !req
585. ..to the exploration
and understanding of space.Copy !req
586. Learning its mysteries and experiencing it...Copy !req
587. .. not just for himself, but for humanity.Copy !req
588. Lord, take this man's soul
and let it rise up to your heavens,Copy !req
589. .. higher than he could ever go as a man.Copy !req
590. Let him know the true nature
of the universe that he sought to learn.Copy !req
591. I made this!Copy !req
