1. For we meet in an hour
of change and challenge,
Copy !req
2. in a decade of hope and fear,
Copy !req
3. in an age of both
knowledge and ignorance.
Copy !req
4. The greater our knowledge increases,
the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Copy !req
5. So it is not surprising
Copy !req
6. that some would have us stay
where we are a little longer.
Copy !req
7. To rest, to wait.
Copy !req
8. But this city of Houston,
this state of Texas,
Copy !req
9. this country of
the United States
Copy !req
10. was not built by those
who waited and rested
Copy !req
11. and wished to look behind them.
Copy !req
12. We choose to go to the moon.
Copy !req
13. We choose to go to the moon.
Copy !req
14. We choose to go to the moon in this
decade and do the other things,
Copy !req
15. not because they are easy,
but because they are hard.
Copy !req
16. With this one speech, John f.
Kennedy escalated our cold war
Copy !req
17. with the Soviet union
to outer space.
Copy !req
18. Now, if we do not land a man
on the moon by 1969,
Copy !req
19. we will have broken
JFK's promise.
Copy !req
20. And in the eyes of the world, the
Soviet union will win the cold war.
Copy !req
21. To make matters
even more difficult,
Copy !req
22. the CIA has discovered a leak
Copy !req
23. coming out of the space program.
Copy !req
24. Top secret American research is
showing up in Soviet briefings,
Copy !req
25. which means the KGB has
implanted a mole inside NASA.
Copy !req
26. If the Russians are able to steal our
technology, they could beat us to the moon.
Copy !req
27. Just as they beat us into space
with the sputnik satellite in 1957.
Copy !req
28. The director of NASA, James Webb,
denies the presence of this mole,
Copy !req
29. which means the CIA must
move in a team undercover.
Copy !req
30. That's where we come in.
Copy !req
31. Allow me to introduce
Owen Williams,
Copy !req
32. and myself, Matt Johnson.
Copy !req
33. We joined the CIA through
the bright recruits program
Copy !req
34. and have been working
together ever since.
Copy !req
35. Along with our camera team, we
make up the CIA's av department.
Copy !req
36. Currently, we are finishing
operation deep red.
Copy !req
37. The probe into film director
Stanley Kubrick.
Copy !req
38. But this mission is not using
us to our full potential.
Copy !req
39. We are asking to be transferred
off of operation deep red,
Copy !req
40. and on to operation zipper.
Copy !req
41. The mission into NASA
to find the mole.
Copy !req
42. Because of our filmmaking
background, we would make...
Copy !req
43. Okay, stop.
Copy !req
44. Stop.
Copy !req
45. What is this supposed to be?
Copy !req
46. Okay. It's a...
It's a pitch film.
Copy !req
47. It... so... it's for operation zipper.
I think...
Copy !req
48. Operation zipper's already
been assigned.
Copy !req
49. We know it has.
Copy !req
50. I think the agency is
making a mistake
Copy !req
51. with sending
a scientist into NASA.
Copy !req
52. Well, your opinion
means nothing.
Copy !req
53. Yeah, okay.
Just... just...
Copy !req
54. If you watch the rest of this film,
you'll see... I've seen enough.
Copy !req
55. But we have an amazing plan for
finding the spy. I'm sure you do.
Copy !req
56. Boles, we worked hard on this. You're seriously
not going to watch the rest of this?
Copy !req
57. No. Can we show it to Brackett?
Copy !req
58. No.
Copy !req
59. Okay.
Copy !req
60. This was a long shot.
Copy !req
61. We've only been here
for one year.
Copy !req
62. We'll get on missions
like this in the future.
Copy !req
63. I thought this was
going to work.
Copy !req
64. You knew that it wasn't a great chance.
Yeah, you should...
Copy !req
65. Jared, you should have cut when
Copy !req
66. you saw it wasn't going good.
Copy !req
67. You're supposed to be
filming so that...
Copy !req
68. I didn't even notice.
Copy !req
69. Yeah.
Hey.
Copy !req
70. Okay, I got an idea.
Copy !req
71. We need to send someone who will look
like they have no idea what's going on.
Copy !req
72. Us, as a documentary film crew.
Copy !req
73. We can pretend we are from the national
education... Okay, we have to go.
Copy !req
74. We got to go.
Copy !req
75. Is this a good idea?
Copy !req
76. Andy? It's a good... Hey.
It's a good idea.
Copy !req
77. Are you ready?
What if they fire us?
Copy !req
78. What's your first line?
Copy !req
79. Oh, uh, your plan is to send...
Okay, I'm fine.
Copy !req
80. Okay. Let's go.
Copy !req
81. Everyone here?
Copy !req
82. Boles...
Copy !req
83. Carry on.
Thank you.
Copy !req
84. Good morning, everyone.
Copy !req
85. Hello, my name is special agent Matt
Johnson, and what you're about to watch
Copy !req
86. is a film detailing the connections
between Stanley Kubrick
Copy !req
87. and the film Dr. Strangelove or how I
learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.
Copy !req
88. Conclusion,
Stanley Kubrick is not a spy.
Copy !req
89. Thank you.
Copy !req
90. Are there any questions?
Copy !req
91. That covers it.
Uh, what's next?
Copy !req
92. Actually, director Brackett,
I'd like to make a pitch for
Copy !req
93. major research to be moved
onto operation zipper next.
Copy !req
94. What the hell are you doing?
Copy !req
95. You guys are trying to put a...
Copy !req
96. Field agent inside NASA
posing as a scientist, and...
Copy !req
97. Agent Williams and I
don't think it will work.
Copy !req
98. This mole, if he's there,
Copy !req
99. could have been at NASA
since the early 60s.
Copy !req
100. He's going to spot one of our guys pretending
to be a rocket scientist instantly.
Copy !req
101. We need to send people
Copy !req
102. who are going to look like they
have no idea what's going on.
Copy !req
103. Us.
Copy !req
104. As a documentary film crew.
Copy !req
105. We can pretend that we're from the
national education television network,
Copy !req
106. filming the definitive
Apollo documentary.
Copy !req
107. We're there to chart the race to the moon.
Smart idea.
Copy !req
108. But no Soviet mole's gonna
let anyone openly film 'em.
Copy !req
109. Well, director Brackett, we're filming
you right now through the window.
Copy !req
110. You're going to have to buy
us better cameras, though.
Copy !req
111. Jesus Christ.
Copy !req
112. Okay, here we go.
Copy !req
113. Let's hope they buy this.
Copy !req
114. Ready?
Copy !req
115. Whoa!
Copy !req
116. - Hi!
- Hi!
Copy !req
117. Just let us get our stuff.
Copy !req
118. Yeah, yeah!
Copy !req
119. You need help, Andy?
Copy !req
120. Do you mind if we film this?
Copy !req
121. Yeah, why not.
Copy !req
122. Here, at the end
of the hall on the right...
Copy !req
123. Oh, man.
Copy !req
124. That's mission control?
Copy !req
125. Yeah, actually. We'll have
to get in there later.
Copy !req
126. Hmm.
Copy !req
127. Hi.
Copy !req
128. We're a documentary film crew.
Copy !req
129. We're a documentary film crew.
Copy !req
130. Jared, make sure you're getting
this crisp and in focus,
Copy !req
131. I don't want to have to edit
together out of focus stuff, please.
Copy !req
132. - Sorry.
- No problem.
Copy !req
133. Your office is just right here.
Copy !req
134. Okay, here you go.
Copy !req
135. Wow!
Copy !req
136. You guys don't need
anything else?
Copy !req
137. No, uh, we'll come find you if we do.
We'll just get set up.
Copy !req
138. Thanks, Sharon.
Copy !req
139. Bye!
Copy !req
140. She bought it. We're a
documentary film crew.
Copy !req
141. You see how they look at us? See
how they look in the cameras?
Copy !req
142. Yeah.
Copy !req
143. This is the best mission I've
ever been on in my life.
Copy !req
144. This is, uh...
This is Matt.
Copy !req
145. Mike.
Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
146. And, uh, this is Jared.
Copy !req
147. They're filming a documentary about
the, uh... The Apollo mission.
Copy !req
148. Oh, okay!
Copy !req
149. So, we basically are asking
about what you do, and... Sure!
Copy !req
150. And... and I'm ready.
Yeah. Okay.
Copy !req
151. Well, I work here
in the public affairs office,
Copy !req
152. and one of my duties is
Copy !req
153. the media products,
specifically still photos.
Copy !req
154. And I stood up in the theater
in sugar land and I said,
Copy !req
155. "don't eat those meatballs!
He did not wash his hands."
Copy !req
156. I had to...
Copy !req
157. I appreciate your time. Before we launch
to the moon, come back and see us, okay?
Copy !req
158. I will.
Okay.
Copy !req
159. Thanks, guys. That's a wrap.
We got it.
Copy !req
160. All right, and mark it.
Copy !req
161. - Milt interview.
- Take one.
Copy !req
162. Thanks, Owen.
Copy !req
163. So, I guess you can start
just by telling us your name.
Copy !req
164. Milt Heflin.
Copy !req
165. And what is it you do
here at NASA?
Copy !req
166. Huh. Uh...
Copy !req
167. Okay.
Copy !req
168. Shut the door.
Copy !req
169. Guys, can we get a shot of
just the lounge being busy?
Copy !req
170. I know you're all working,
but if you want to just...
Copy !req
171. Busy, like there's
some activity.
Copy !req
172. Or, do whatever feels natural.
Copy !req
173. And action.
Copy !req
174. No, don't look at the cameras. Just
keep sitting. Just keep standing there.
Copy !req
175. Part of Sato's controversial
south-east Asia...
Copy !req
176. the north Vietnamese
Copy !req
177. decides to accept us offers...
Copy !req
178. spread over 600 feet to
become a gigantic pool of flames
Copy !req
179. a fire extinguisher called purple k,
three tragic fires aboard aircraft...
Copy !req
180. One second, Mr. Webb.
We're good?
Copy !req
181. Mr. Webb, tell me,
what does it mean
Copy !req
182. when people say the Russians are
ahead of us in the space race?
Copy !req
183. Well, I think it means
that the job of
Copy !req
184. landing something on the moon
Copy !req
185. where there's no atmosphere,
Copy !req
186. and using a rocket
to slow it up,
Copy !req
187. and having the equipment
still work
Copy !req
188. is a very difficult job.
Copy !req
189. Uh, I think it means the Russians
are trying, just like we are...
Copy !req
190. Where's this guy's office?
Copy !req
191. But I think the real
meaning is...
Copy !req
192. Two more pieces.
Copy !req
193. - Come on, Jared.
- Got it, got it!
Copy !req
194. Okay, hold on.
Copy !req
195. I'm fine, I need light.
Copy !req
196. Ready?
Copy !req
197. Test, test, test, test...
Copy !req
198. then you get to talk about
how to go forward. To do it.
Copy !req
199. Uh, I am not much interested,
Copy !req
200. and I don't think it's very realistic to
talk about technological interchange,
Copy !req
201. and this kind of thing. You
first gotta get on the basis
Copy !req
202. where... where...
Copy !req
203. Okay, so...
Copy !req
204. His phone rings, in his office,
Copy !req
205. and this phone rings
at the same time.
Copy !req
206. As long as we're rolling
Copy !req
207. when he picks up,
we get everything.
Copy !req
208. I found us a house.
It's beautiful, it's red,
Copy !req
209. it has a nursery and a yard.
You'll love it.
Copy !req
210. How big is the bed?
Copy !req
211. It's a queen.
Copy !req
212. Are you alone right now?
Copy !req
213. No, I'm at work.
What are you doing?
Copy !req
214. Do you want to know
what I'm wearing?
Copy !req
215. Julie, I can't do this right now.
I'm at the office.
Copy !req
216. I'm sorry, maybe later.
Copy !req
217. Well, I'm wearing a pink bra and
that black skirt you bought me.
Copy !req
218. Honey, Matt is right beside me and
I'm at work. Can I call you tonight?
Copy !req
219. I'm taking off the skirt now.
Copy !req
220. There's nothing underneath.
Whoa!
Copy !req
221. What are you doing?
Nothing.
Copy !req
222. I'm trying to have fun with you.
Copy !req
223. Wait a second, hold on... No!
Copy !req
224. What is it?
Copy !req
225. We're not doing anything.
I'm doing work.
Copy !req
226. Hello?
Copy !req
227. Don't do that.
Copy !req
228. What'd you find in that phone?
Copy !req
229. What? What?
Oh, my god.
Copy !req
230. We've been bugged.
Copy !req
231. We've been bugged, guys.
We've been bugged.
Copy !req
232. No, no, no!
Copy !req
233. Anything else,
or is that it? Owen?
Copy !req
234. That's it from this car?
Copy !req
235. Guys?
Copy !req
236. I said I was sorry!
Copy !req
237. Your hat?
Copy !req
238. - A couple more boxes here.
- These are not a big deal.
Copy !req
239. Please don't touch me.
Copy !req
240. I'll get the rest!
Copy !req
241. We both, uh, have had and
will have emergencies,
Copy !req
242. and, uh, that each flight, uh, has
some element of extreme risk,
Copy !req
243. and some elements of...
Copy !req
244. I made this statement on
my own, from my knowledge,
Copy !req
245. uh, longstanding knowledge...
Copy !req
246. setting us back four years...
Copy !req
247. Well...
Copy !req
248. Uh...
Copy !req
249. 300 second burn
to the lunar surface...
Copy !req
250. This is nothing.
Copy !req
251. Give it a second. 250
seconds is all we can do?
Copy !req
252. That's the maximum.
Copy !req
253. - And you know that...
- Did you talk to TRW?
Copy !req
254. - Who's the other voice?
- I dunno.
Copy !req
255. Their fuels.
Copy !req
256. Grumman has fucked us.
Copy !req
257. They built a lander
that can't land.
Copy !req
258. So, we are going back...
Copy !req
259. With whom?
Copy !req
260. This is setting us
back four years.
Copy !req
261. Well, I agree. This is
going to have to change.
Copy !req
262. Change? We can't
land on the moon.
Copy !req
263. Unless by some miracle
Braun finds lighter fuel,
Copy !req
264. we aren't touching down
for five years.
Copy !req
265. Okay... We're just going to
be circling forever up there.
Copy !req
266. So what are we telling everyone?
Copy !req
267. - Nothing.
- We don't tell anyone...
Copy !req
268. Do you understand
what this means?
Copy !req
269. NASA can't do it.
Copy !req
270. They can't land man
and come back.
Copy !req
271. Have you called Brackett?
Copy !req
272. Of course not! I needed
to tell you guys first.
Copy !req
273. We have to tell Brackett. We have
to tell Brackett right away.
Copy !req
274. This is something you report right away.
We need help.
Copy !req
275. We have to...
Relax, it's okay. Yes. Yes.
Copy !req
276. And we need... I'll tell
you what to do, okay?
Copy !req
277. I'm gonna tell you what to do.
Copy !req
278. Find out who that other guy on
the phone was, okay?
Copy !req
279. Because, if we found
this out in a month,
Copy !req
280. you better fucking believe that
the mole can do the same thing.
Copy !req
281. And now all of a sudden the Russians
know we can't make it to the moon,
Copy !req
282. then what the fuck are
we going to do?
Copy !req
283. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Copy !req
284. You call Langley.
Copy !req
285. It's ringing.
Copy !req
286. You think I'll get to talk
to the president? No.
Copy !req
287. That's not unrealistic.
Copy !req
288. I could. He could be like, "we need
to get this right to the president."
Copy !req
289. I'll be like, "all right.
Copy !req
290. "Give me his
home phone, sir. I'll..."
Copy !req
291. Hello?
Copy !req
292. Director Brackett, it's agent
Johnson calling from Houston.
Copy !req
293. We have big news.
Copy !req
294. What's that?
Copy !req
295. They can't make it to the moon.
Copy !req
296. We intercepted a call
Copy !req
297. from Jim Webb.
Copy !req
298. From what I understand,
they can circle the moon,
Copy !req
299. but they can't actually land.
Copy !req
300. They... they don't have
the technology to do it.
Copy !req
301. They're saying 1971
at the earliest.
Copy !req
302. Damn it.
Copy !req
303. Give me a minute.
Copy !req
304. Okay, who else knows about this?
Copy !req
305. Uh, nobody, from...
From...
Copy !req
306. From what we can tell.
Copy !req
307. They're talking about it
on the phone
Copy !req
308. like it was a big secret. Like they've
never talked about it before.
Copy !req
309. Okay, good.
Copy !req
310. Another unit is going
to take over zipper.
Copy !req
311. Get your team out of there.
Copy !req
312. Uh... you think maybe
that's a bit, uh,
Copy !req
313. shortsighted in a way?
Copy !req
314. Seeing as we're here undercover now?
What... why?
Copy !req
315. Don't question my orders, kid.
Copy !req
316. I'm not... I don't mean
to question it. I...
Copy !req
317. I just... I simply think
that we're here
Copy !req
318. and I... We have to figure
out a response to this,
Copy !req
319. somehow, and you've got us...
Copy !req
320. We're going home.
Copy !req
321. If either of us are talking, shoot. I
don't care how much film you burn,
Copy !req
322. it doesn't matter.
Okay? It's going to save us.
Copy !req
323. What are we doing in here?
Copy !req
324. Sit down, just listen
to this, okay?
Copy !req
325. Well...
Copy !req
326. Hold on a sec... Did you
call Brackett last night?
Copy !req
327. Yes, all right?
What did he say?
Copy !req
328. Okay, turn this on.
Copy !req
329. What did they say?
Copy !req
330. I'm gonna tell you
what they said.
Copy !req
331. Okay, it's on.
Copy !req
332. Okay, you hear that?
Copy !req
333. Yeah.
Copy !req
334. - You recognize it?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
335. It's sputnik.
Copy !req
336. You know what?
You're ahead of me.
Copy !req
337. Okay, yeah.
It's sputnik.
Copy !req
338. How do you know it's sputnik?
Copy !req
339. Can you... did you
sleep here last night?
Copy !req
340. That's not plugged
into anything.
Copy !req
341. It's... it's just a dial on the other side.
It's not actually sputnik.
Copy !req
342. It's just making
you think that it is.
Copy !req
343. It's just a random beeping.
Copy !req
344. And because you think that
that's supposed to be sputnik,
Copy !req
345. that's why you believe
it's sputnik.
Copy !req
346. This is what we are
going to do with the moon.
Copy !req
347. I called Brackett,
Copy !req
348. told him that they
can't make it for '69.
Copy !req
349. He said, "okay, well, you've got
to figure out a way to fix it."
Copy !req
350. And I said, "we can
do it on our own.
Copy !req
351. "We can make a film that
shows us going to the moon
Copy !req
352. "without actually doing it."
Copy !req
353. We know that
they can make it up there.
Copy !req
354. We're not... we're faking
the last little piece.
Copy !req
355. The tiny... The tiny
thing they can't do.
Copy !req
356. Land and come back.
Copy !req
357. The thing JFK said we'd do.
Copy !req
358. That's the only part.
Copy !req
359. Everything else is real,
do you understand?
Copy !req
360. Yeah, I understand
what you're saying.
Copy !req
361. And I understand
that it sounds like...
Copy !req
362. Read this, it's from Brackett.
Copy !req
363. He sent a briefing?
Yes.
Copy !req
364. If we can pull this off,
Copy !req
365. we are going to look
like geniuses.
Copy !req
366. Four guys inside of NASA
figure out how to
Copy !req
367. make it look like we went to the moon.
We did it.
Copy !req
368. That's crazy!
Copy !req
369. This is exactly what
we've been waiting for.
Copy !req
370. It literally fell on our lap.
Copy !req
371. We could run our own department
after something like this.
Copy !req
372. Is there
more information coming?
Copy !req
373. About what?
Copy !req
374. Well, the objectives
and the budget.
Copy !req
375. Why?
Copy !req
376. This doesn't seem
incomplete to you?
Copy !req
377. Incomplete? How?
What do you mean?
Copy !req
378. Well, I...
Okay...
Copy !req
379. You know what, don't...
Don't worry about this.
Copy !req
380. They obviously told us exactly
what they want us to hear,
Copy !req
381. so our job is to film a
test, and that's it.
Copy !req
382. Come on.
Copy !req
383. Does it... you don't have an
ethical problem with this at all?
Copy !req
384. In what way?
Copy !req
385. In that this is lying.
Copy !req
386. You know what, this is like
one of those good lies.
Copy !req
387. Like Santa Claus
and the Easter bunny.
Copy !req
388. A lot of kids get really
mad about those.
Copy !req
389. So we're shooting this
at 48 frames a second,
Copy !req
390. so you're going to
have to move like...
Copy !req
391. Like you're being lifted up...
Copy !req
392. Okay? Like this... This thing
weighs about 100 pounds.
Copy !req
393. Well, just try it.
Try leaping a bit.
Copy !req
394. Like this.
Copy !req
395. Yeah, good.
Copy !req
396. Go! Action! Action!
Copy !req
397. More that way.
Copy !req
398. More towards me a bit.
Copy !req
399. Walk off that way.
Copy !req
400. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Copy !req
401. Stop.
Copy !req
402. We should be
doing this at night.
Copy !req
403. Can, can the light move a
little bit to the left?
Copy !req
404. I'm being devoured
and I'm cookin'.
Copy !req
405. No, that's too far.
That's too far.
Copy !req
406. Back over this way.
Back to your right.
Copy !req
407. It doesn't matter...
Stop! Stop!
Copy !req
408. Okay, now a bit to your left.
Copy !req
409. How much does
the light drop off?
Copy !req
410. Are you not getting
destroyed by mosquitoes?
Copy !req
411. Okay, I am, but I'm trying
to get this right. Hold on.
Copy !req
412. What else is in the frame?
Copy !req
413. Uh, I see some logs
in the background.
Copy !req
414. Yeah, I see it, too.
Okay, I'm getting it.
Copy !req
415. That's what you're...
Copy !req
416. Please, let's just roll.
It's fine, it's fine.
Copy !req
417. It's not a log, it's a rock!
Copy !req
418. It's okay, we'll frame it out.
Copy !req
419. I'm going to use it!
Copy !req
420. I'm going to put it
in the frame.
Copy !req
421. Are you ready?
Copy !req
422. And action!
Copy !req
423. Owen, jump in the air.
Copy !req
424. Holy shit.
Copy !req
425. It's open!
Copy !req
426. Hey.
You're just in time.
Copy !req
427. Have a seat. So...
Copy !req
428. The moon footage...
I won't say how it looks.
Copy !req
429. I just want you to watch it, okay?
Turn the lights off.
Copy !req
430. So it may seem a bit different.
Copy !req
431. I think you'll enjoy it.
Copy !req
432. This is the year
before we got recruited.
Copy !req
433. Wow.
Copy !req
434. Who is it?
Copy !req
435. Hello?
Copy !req
436. Director Brackett,
this is a... uh, come on in.
Copy !req
437. Welcome.
Copy !req
438. It's great to see you guys.
This is a surprise.
Copy !req
439. What the hell is going on?
Copy !req
440. You're changing the direction on this
project without my authorization?
Copy !req
441. Okay...
Shut up. I'm not finished.
Copy !req
442. Okay, now listen...
I'm shutting this operation...
Copy !req
443. Wait!
Bring it down. It's over.
Copy !req
444. You made this up?
Copy !req
445. Okay, yes.
I made up a mission.
Copy !req
446. But that's because I wanted to make sure
it would work before I brought it to you.
Copy !req
447. I think I may have solved
Copy !req
448. the moon problem.
Copy !req
449. Just... trust me.
Watch this.
Copy !req
450. Sorry.
Copy !req
451. Ignore this. Ignore this.
Copy !req
452. So that's just sand.
Copy !req
453. William's in the suit.
Copy !req
454. We shot it in slow motion.
Copy !req
455. You understand?
Copy !req
456. I'm saying we could fake the moon
landing, and it wouldn't be hard.
Copy !req
457. All people want to see
Copy !req
458. is an image
on a television screen
Copy !req
459. and we can give them that.
Copy !req
460. The rocket will go up,
Copy !req
461. we'll send our
footage with them,
Copy !req
462. and the astronauts will
just beam it back to earth.
Copy !req
463. No one is going to think this is fake,
because how insane would that be?
Copy !req
464. And if we do it right,
Copy !req
465. this is the kind of thing
that sells itself.
Copy !req
466. Walter Cronkite is going
to do half the work for us.
Copy !req
467. Let me try.
Copy !req
468. Give us a minute.
Copy !req
469. It's okay.
Copy !req
470. Hi.
Copy !req
471. Whoa!
Copy !req
472. Okay, just shoot
from down there, okay?
Copy !req
473. Owen?
Copy !req
474. Put... put your mic on.
No.
Copy !req
475. Put your mic on. Put your... It'll
take two seconds. Put your mic on.
Copy !req
476. Come on. It'll take two seconds.
I'm not doing this, okay?
Copy !req
477. Get the fuck off.
Cheer up!
Copy !req
478. We just got a huge
promotion, come on!
Copy !req
479. Whoo!
Copy !req
480. Mr. boles, I guess we'll
be working together again.
Copy !req
481. Welcome to Texas.
Copy !req
482. Congratulations on having Brackett
approve this insane mission.
Copy !req
483. You guys are filming
this right now?
Copy !req
484. Yeah, we film everything.
It's a documentary.
Copy !req
485. It's a documentary film.
Copy !req
486. Okay, before we get started on this,
I know you're technically my boss,
Copy !req
487. but I'm running all this.
Copy !req
488. Yeah.
Copy !req
489. No, I'm here because you have
no idea what you're doing.
Copy !req
490. So I'm in charge and you
don't run a goddamn thing.
Copy !req
491. So no more fucking around
behind our backs, all right?
Copy !req
492. Wow, I heard it's pretty shitty.
Copy !req
493. Hi.
How you doing?
Copy !req
494. Enjoying the 4th of July?
Copy !req
495. Yes, I'm in a great mood.
Copy !req
496. This is a bit of a party for me,
too, because we got a promotion.
Copy !req
497. Did you?
Yeah.
Copy !req
498. Somebody just
tell me what's wrong.
Copy !req
499. Is that...
That's the barbecue.
Copy !req
500. The barbecue what? What happened
at the barbecue? What's going on?
Copy !req
501. Watch.
Copy !req
502. Right...
Copy !req
503. There. See that?
Copy !req
504. Yeah, two guys.
Yeah. Look at this.
Copy !req
505. So he's holding something,
we're thinking maybe super 8.
Copy !req
506. It could be a 35mm still camera.
Copy !req
507. And do we know who this is?
Maybe they're NASA guests.
Copy !req
508. Yeah, I don't know.
Tourists? Who knows, right?
Copy !req
509. It could be nothing.
Copy !req
510. It is nothing...
Copy !req
511. Who is it?
Copy !req
512. It's boles.
Copy !req
513. This looks like shit.
Copy !req
514. You have one guy
in a space suit,
Copy !req
515. prancing around on the sand...
Copy !req
516. with one rock.
Copy !req
517. Who do you think
this is gonna convince?
Copy !req
518. I...
It convinced Brackett.
Copy !req
519. Well, now you have
to convince me.
Copy !req
520. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
521. Nobody is going to buy this.
Copy !req
522. I thought you were advocating
for me to do this!
Copy !req
523. I was advocating
for operation Northwoods.
Copy !req
524. I think this idea's ridiculous.
Copy !req
525. Mike, do you remember
mentioning, uh, test locations
Copy !req
526. that NASA was using
for photography?
Copy !req
527. Would you mind
showing me those pictures?
Copy !req
528. You mean on camera, or...
Copy !req
529. If you don't mind.
I don't mind.
Copy !req
530. These are places that look
like the moon on earth?
Copy !req
531. Exactly. These are called
geology field trips.
Copy !req
532. So you're saying that the
rocks that are on the moon
Copy !req
533. are the exact same
as the rocks on earth?
Copy !req
534. I'm not saying exact. I'm saying...
But they're close?
Copy !req
535. They're close enough that...
That...
Copy !req
536. Yeah, I mean... So if you saw
them, you would think that, uh...
Copy !req
537. Oh, yeah, you can
get an igneous rock
Copy !req
538. from a volcano here in America
Copy !req
539. and tell somebody
it's a moon rock
Copy !req
540. and they wouldn't know.
Copy !req
541. Really?
Yeah.
Copy !req
542. - Hello.
- Is Owen home?
Copy !req
543. He's in the garage.
Copy !req
544. You look great.
Copy !req
545. FBI!
Copy !req
546. Look at this!
Copy !req
547. The geologists have
places on earth
Copy !req
548. that already look like the moon.
Copy !req
549. This is the Barringer crater,
the Grand Canyon.
Copy !req
550. We shoot this test footage
Copy !req
551. and then compare it
with the real moon footage
Copy !req
552. that they're getting
from the missions.
Copy !req
553. I just figured this out!
Copy !req
554. Yeah, I can't go on this trip.
Copy !req
555. What?
What do you mean?
Copy !req
556. Why?
Copy !req
557. Because I... because I...
I need you.
Copy !req
558. If you don't come with me I'm
going with boles, by myself.
Copy !req
559. What? Are you
still mad at me?
Copy !req
560. I'm sorry.
I didn't...
Copy !req
561. Owen!
Copy !req
562. One second!
Copy !req
563. I... you have to forgive me for this.
Listen.
Copy !req
564. I can't go.
Copy !req
565. You're fucking me. You are...
You're fucking me.
Copy !req
566. This is the big shot.
Copy !req
567. The ride without astronauts of
the giant Saturn v live rocket.
Copy !req
568. Project Apollo.
This is Apollo 4.
Copy !req
569. The test of our moon rocket
in flight for the first time.
Copy !req
570. It is the beginning,
the first of many steps,
Copy !req
571. which will someday put men
on the surface of the moon.
Copy !req
572. How far off can you see?
Copy !req
573. You've got to picture it
in black and white.
Copy !req
574. With the sun behind us there.
Copy !req
575. We can even do a pan.
Copy !req
576. What do you think?
Copy !req
577. We don't know if you can hear,
ladies and gentlemen.
Copy !req
578. But, oh, the flight is moving
along as it should be...
Copy !req
579. But our tape records are
being thrown to the floor
Copy !req
580. by the roar of
this mighty rocket,
Copy !req
581. as it continues
to climb into the sky,
Copy !req
582. on its seven and a half
million pounds of thrust.
Copy !req
583. It's a beautiful sight,
an unbelievable sight...
Copy !req
584. So I didn't tell him
I made the whole thing up,
Copy !req
585. and then you
and Brackett show up,
Copy !req
586. and then he punches me,
Copy !req
587. now he's acting like
we aren't friends.
Copy !req
588. What would you do?
Copy !req
589. Well, I wouldn't have done
that in the first place.
Copy !req
590. Okay, yeah, but pretend
that you're as stupid as me
Copy !req
591. and you have done that.
Copy !req
592. God damn it, look at this!
Copy !req
593. We weren't even close.
Copy !req
594. No kidding.
Copy !req
595. Here.
Copy !req
596. Okay... Okay, who else
has seen this footage?
Copy !req
597. Everyone.
Copy !req
598. See, this is what we need.
Copy !req
599. We need the actual
footage of the moon.
Copy !req
600. How do we get astronauts
to act in front of this?
Copy !req
601. You could start
by hiring a real director.
Copy !req
602. Or you could give up
this mission.
Copy !req
603. Yeah.
Copy !req
604. Hey, don, how are you?
Copy !req
605. It's Matt Johnson.
Copy !req
606. No, I'm calling from Houston,
Copy !req
607. they got me out here
on operation zipper.
Copy !req
608. Listen, can...
I actually need a favor.
Copy !req
609. Do we have a last known
address for Stanley Kubrick
Copy !req
610. when we were doing
operation deep red?
Copy !req
611. I'm looking at some of his
movie effects and...
Copy !req
612. "No, of course I'd
like to say hello!"
Copy !req
613. Of course I'd like to say hello.
Copy !req
614. And I'm watching something.
Copy !req
615. Would you mind giving me that?
Copy !req
616. Hi, could you give me the phone
number to an address in New York?
Copy !req
617. 239.
Copy !req
618. Uh, actually, it's Polaris
productions, incorporated.
Copy !req
619. 23...
Copy !req
620. My name's Matt Johnson,
Copy !req
621. I'm a documentary filmmaker
working at NASA,
Copy !req
622. and I need to ask him
a few questions.
Copy !req
623. Is he there?
Copy !req
624. It's an emergency.
Copy !req
625. Of course not. No. And... And
that's not what this is, ma'am.
Copy !req
626. Yes, hello, my name is
Michael Kubrick.
Copy !req
627. I'm looking for my brother.
Copy !req
628. Well, I'm calling
from the United States
Copy !req
629. and I'm... and I'm really
trying to talk with him.
Copy !req
630. I've got some very bad news
about our father.
Copy !req
631. Can you give me
a phone number for that?
Copy !req
632. What time is it in England?
Copy !req
633. I'm looking for
a Mr. Stanley Kubrick.
Copy !req
634. I'm a documentary filmmaker
from the United States.
Copy !req
635. This is not a personal call.
Copy !req
636. I'm actually calling from
NASA and I'm wondering if...
Copy !req
637. Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
638. Hello, Madeleine. I'm not sure
why I got connected with you.
Copy !req
639. I'm calling from NASA.
Copy !req
640. I'm making a documentary here
about the Apollo program.
Copy !req
641. Ah.
Copy !req
642. What are you guys
doing over there,
Copy !req
643. if you don't mind me asking?
Copy !req
644. Stanley Kubrick is making a new
movie about the moon landing,
Copy !req
645. and I'm willing to bet that we
can use the special effects
Copy !req
646. that he's doing there
to do this.
Copy !req
647. Okay, but...
Copy !req
648. We can't just walk
onto a film set.
Copy !req
649. He has two NASA scientists
advising him.
Copy !req
650. We're going to go and say
we're going to interview them.
Copy !req
651. Do you see what's going on here?
Copy !req
652. Kubrick is getting NASA
Copy !req
653. to make sure that his space
movie looks like real space.
Copy !req
654. And so we're going
to use his space movie
Copy !req
655. to make sure the real space
movie looks like space!
Copy !req
656. Do you understand
how crazy that is?
Copy !req
657. Welcome to England!
Copy !req
658. It's not too loud?
Copy !req
659. No, well, it'll be
packed inside the bag.
Copy !req
660. Not bad for... For on the
spot, just figured it out!
Copy !req
661. Jared, wave!
Copy !req
662. Jared, big wave!
Copy !req
663. Yeah, that's her.
Copy !req
664. Madeleine!
Copy !req
665. You won't be able to bring
that camera inside.
Copy !req
666. You'll have to shut it off as
soon as we get in, I'm afraid.
Copy !req
667. Is Mr...
The set's all live.
Copy !req
668. No problem.
Is Mr. Kubrick inside?
Copy !req
669. He is, but security
is very tight.
Copy !req
670. You'll be thrown off the set if you
try to approach him, so please don't.
Copy !req
671. You got it.
Go ahead.
Copy !req
672. Thank you.
Copy !req
673. Please wait right here.
Copy !req
674. Yeah, sure.
We'll stay right here.
Copy !req
675. It might be better to just
play it as a medium shot
Copy !req
676. - in this situation.
- Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
Copy !req
677. Can you do it
with your head down?
Copy !req
678. What about out there?
Copy !req
679. - Well, that's not bad.
- Let's do that.
Copy !req
680. Right.
Check the gate, Doug.
Copy !req
681. I... I would never normally do
this, but it's for a friend.
Copy !req
682. His name is Matt Johnson.
Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
683. Jared, tell me
you are getting this.
Copy !req
684. Oh, my god.
Copy !req
685. Excuse me?
Copy !req
686. How did you set this up?
Copy !req
687. Owen, it's called
front screen projection!
Copy !req
688. We got it!
Copy !req
689. Kubrick's technique,
how he's faking...
Copy !req
690. I wanna...
I wanna tell you.
Copy !req
691. Boles, hey.
Copy !req
692. It's called
front screen projection.
Copy !req
693. We figured out how to,
how to do it.
Copy !req
694. Yeah, okay, all right.
I'll, uh...
Copy !req
695. Do you want us
to fly right there, or...
Copy !req
696. Sure.
Copy !req
697. All right, it's called
front screen projection.
Copy !req
698. Stanley Kubrick can fake
any environment he wants,
Copy !req
699. by projecting it through
a semi-transparent mirror
Copy !req
700. and then onto
a gigantic silver screen.
Copy !req
701. Then he films the entire scene
through the same mirror,
Copy !req
702. at a 90-degree angle
to the projector.
Copy !req
703. What it winds up doing
is creating images
Copy !req
704. where you can't tell
where the stage stops
Copy !req
705. and the fake photographic
background begins.
Copy !req
706. You have an infinite
depth of field,
Copy !req
707. into environments that exist
completely in two-dimensional space.
Copy !req
708. We can do the same thing with
the lunar surface photography
Copy !req
709. that NASA is taking
on the Apollo missions.
Copy !req
710. Movie special effects
can be very convincing,
Copy !req
711. especially when you don't
know you're watching a movie.
Copy !req
712. The plan is to rent
a film studio in Texas,
Copy !req
713. hire a crew, and have them
build our own lunar lander.
Copy !req
714. We'll mix
this practical set piece,
Copy !req
715. with Kubrick's projection
technique, and presto,
Copy !req
716. the illusion that man
is walking on the moon.
Copy !req
717. Now I know you're probably thinking
this is too much exposure,
Copy !req
718. and that the risk of bringing
in outsiders is too high,
Copy !req
719. but we already have
the perfect cover.
Copy !req
720. We're making a documentary
about the moon landing.
Copy !req
721. And it's not a stretch to say that we're
building sets to conduct interviews,
Copy !req
722. shoot b-roll footage.
Copy !req
723. We could even say
it's for simulations.
Copy !req
724. Hell, most of the major networks
are doing this already.
Copy !req
725. The only people who need to
know what's actually happening
Copy !req
726. are the astronauts,
Copy !req
727. who you should select based on
their willingness to cooperate,
Copy !req
728. and James Webb,
Copy !req
729. who's either going to have to work
with us, or get out of the way.
Copy !req
730. And that's the easy part.
Copy !req
731. We also need to convince
everybody at NASA.
Copy !req
732. The good news is the only people
who are in contact with the rocket
Copy !req
733. are all in one room in Houston,
Copy !req
734. inside mission control.
Copy !req
735. If we can convince
mission control
Copy !req
736. that what they're doing is real,
Copy !req
737. everybody else will follow.
Copy !req
738. How do we do that?
Copy !req
739. Well, mission control
actually monitors everything,
Copy !req
740. from the heart rates
of the astronauts,
Copy !req
741. to the exact location
of the lunar module
Copy !req
742. as it descends to the moon.
Copy !req
743. And they're getting all this
information through radio,
Copy !req
744. directly from the ship.
Copy !req
745. The good news is that
they've run so many tests
Copy !req
746. with this exact mission
Copy !req
747. that they actually have telemetric
data of successful lunar landings,
Copy !req
748. stored on guidance systems
on Apollo 11.
Copy !req
749. Here's where we get very lucky.
Copy !req
750. As the command module
passes along
Copy !req
751. to the dark side of the moon,
Copy !req
752. the radio signals
can't penetrate the core.
Copy !req
753. For 30 minutes, we have a window
Copy !req
754. for the astronauts to switch from
real data, to fake telemetric data.
Copy !req
755. Mission control
will be getting data
Copy !req
756. of the lunar module undocking and
landing on the lunar surface,
Copy !req
757. but it will be completely faked.
Copy !req
758. Combine that with our footage
Copy !req
759. that the astronauts are going to pipe
into the broadcast back to earth,
Copy !req
760. and nobody's
going to have any idea.
Copy !req
761. As far as NASA and the rest
of the world is concerned,
Copy !req
762. the United States
just landed on the moon.
Copy !req
763. Finally, the broadcast.
Copy !req
764. To shoot in slow motion,
we have to shoot film.
Copy !req
765. To broadcast
it needs to be video.
Copy !req
766. Which means we have
to do a transfer,
Copy !req
767. which normally would be fine,
Copy !req
768. except that people cannot know
it originally began as film.
Copy !req
769. That means a single
scratch, any dust...
Copy !req
770. Okay, okay.
We got it.
Copy !req
771. Thank you for the presentation.
Copy !req
772. You can go ahead.
Copy !req
773. - Thank you, sir.
- Talk to your folks about the Northwoods plan.
Copy !req
774. Tell them to put a hold on it
Copy !req
775. and we'll see how this develops.
Copy !req
776. Director, what is
the Northwoods plan?
Copy !req
777. I've never heard of
operation Northwoods.
Copy !req
778. Shoot down Apollo 11
and blame the Soviets.
Copy !req
779. With the astronauts
on the flight?
Copy !req
780. Why would we do that?
Copy !req
781. If your film
doesn't come together,
Copy !req
782. then we have to have
a backup plan.
Copy !req
783. And that is our backup plan.
Copy !req
784. Plan? I've never heard
of operation Northwoods.
Copy !req
785. Shoot down Apollo 11
and blame the Soviets.
Copy !req
786. Who were these men
going to the moon?
Copy !req
787. David Schoumacher profiled
the crew of Apollo 11.
Copy !req
788. Neil Armstrong,
Copy !req
789. the man chosen to be first
to step upon the moon.
Copy !req
790. He is by all accounts
intelligent, courteous,
Copy !req
791. sober, a good family man.
Copy !req
792. He is perfect for the role,
Copy !req
793. beyond what a Hollywood
scriptwriter would dare.
Copy !req
794. Buzz Aldrin is perhaps the most
brilliant of the astronauts.
Copy !req
795. Some say even a genius.
Copy !req
796. His doctorate at Mit came after
a thesis on orbital rendezvous,
Copy !req
797. and he understands the abstract
theory of space mechanics
Copy !req
798. as well as anyone.
Copy !req
799. Mike Collins is the least technical in
outlook of the Apollo 11 astronauts,
Copy !req
800. but the most philosophical.
Copy !req
801. If he does not love machines,
Copy !req
802. he does love wine,
and books, and roses.
Copy !req
803. A man who has known all
three pilots for many years
Copy !req
804. says if he were
forced down on an island,
Copy !req
805. he would want it
to be with Collins
Copy !req
806. for the quality
of his personality.
Copy !req
807. Another said
he would prefer Aldrin,
Copy !req
808. because with his intelligence
Copy !req
809. he would soon be converting
sea water to fresh water
Copy !req
810. and otherwise logically
attacking the problem.
Copy !req
811. But both agreed
in the final analysis,
Copy !req
812. that they would hope
it was with Armstrong,
Copy !req
813. because, somehow,
he would get them off of it.
Copy !req
814. Hello?
Copy !req
815. Boles, we just got back.
Where are you?
Copy !req
816. Okay. Turn on the TV.
Copy !req
817. Yeah, okay.
I'm turning it on now.
Copy !req
818. - Why?
- Summarize what you just said,
Copy !req
819. and then we'll ask you some questions
about seeing the president?
Copy !req
820. Uh, yes, I'd like to say
that, uh, over a year ago,
Copy !req
821. president Johnson and I
reviewed the space program
Copy !req
822. and, uh, agreed
to build strength
Copy !req
823. so that I might retire
on my 62nd birthday,
Copy !req
824. which happens to be
this next October 7th.
Copy !req
825. Today, we have reviewed
the progress we have made
Copy !req
826. and the president has agreed
Copy !req
827. that I could retire
on October 7th,
Copy !req
828. when I will be 62.
Copy !req
829. I'd like to say
one other thing...
Copy !req
830. Yeah, okay.
Well, I guess that means
Copy !req
831. he didn't want
to cooperate, huh?
Copy !req
832. Okay, yeah.
Copy !req
833. I'll see you when you get back.
Bye.
Copy !req
834. Andy!
Copy !req
835. Sorry.
Copy !req
836. What are you doing? Shooting
for the documentary.
Copy !req
837. Oh, okay, fine.
Copy !req
838. Where's Owen?
He's at the hospital.
Copy !req
839. What?
Copy !req
840. Julie had the baby.
Copy !req
841. Oh, shit!
Copy !req
842. Hey.
Copy !req
843. I missed it, hey?
Copy !req
844. Hey, mom.
Copy !req
845. Wow!
Copy !req
846. Matt!
Copy !req
847. What's his name?
Simon.
Copy !req
848. Can I hold him?
Sure, if you want to.
Copy !req
849. I need to talk to you.
I need to talk to Matt.
Copy !req
850. Okay. What's up?
Copy !req
851. One minute.
Copy !req
852. Okay, okay.
Copy !req
853. What the hell is this?
Copy !req
854. Jared showed me
the photos of the men
Copy !req
855. who were watching us
at the barbecue.
Copy !req
856. They're filming us, Matt! Okay.
Copy !req
857. Why are you bringing
this up at the hospital?
Copy !req
858. Relax!
Copy !req
859. Relax? This could
be the Russians.
Copy !req
860. We have to get off this mission.
Copy !req
861. If we get caught, the CIA
will abandon us, okay?
Copy !req
862. I'm calling Brackett to them him...
No! No! No!
Copy !req
863. You are not calling Brackett.
No one's calling Brackett.
Copy !req
864. You are being paranoid!
Copy !req
865. I hope so, because if I'm
right and this is the mole...
Copy !req
866. If they find out
what we are doing,
Copy !req
867. then we are fucking dead.
Copy !req
868. You got that?
Copy !req
869. Looks pretty good.
Copy !req
870. "Looks pretty good"?
Guys, come on.
Copy !req
871. Are you kidding me?
All right.
Copy !req
872. This cost $45,000!
Copy !req
873. Really?
Yeah!
Copy !req
874. Oh, god, don't start that.
Copy !req
875. "Really? Hey,
you got ripped off.
Copy !req
876. "Hey, come on, I could have
done this..." ... Cheaper.
Copy !req
877. "with $20
and some elbow grease!"
Copy !req
878. Do you think it would kill you
to say, "good job, Matt"?
Copy !req
879. I mean that seriously. Do you think
it would physically kill you?
Copy !req
880. Okay, and it's for a film shoot.
Copy !req
881. Uh, we're making a documentary
about the moon landing,
Copy !req
882. and we need to make
a lunar surface.
Copy !req
883. And so it's like a fake lunar surface.
That's what we need.
Copy !req
884. So I don't know how much
sand you can ship us.
Copy !req
885. But, uh, four tons?
Copy !req
886. How many tons are in a truck?
Can you hold on a sec?
Copy !req
887. Where are you going?
Copy !req
888. Uh, sorry, say again?
Copy !req
889. Actually, I went to a place in
Arizona called cinder lake,
Copy !req
890. where the sand was brown as molasses.
It was beautiful.
Copy !req
891. It was a beautiful brown.
Molten brown.
Copy !req
892. So, what are these guys gonna
say when they're up here?
Copy !req
893. We need something they
can print as a headline.
Copy !req
894. Type out a couple things and let's
just see what we got, okay?
Copy !req
895. So try this,
"welcome to the moon."
Copy !req
896. Catch!
Copy !req
897. So, no, leave that where
it was, it's my a rock.
Copy !req
898. I think if we never say
the word "America."
Copy !req
899. Oh, yeah, we just take
an American symbol.
Copy !req
900. Exactly. Eagle.
Copy !req
901. - Freedom.
- Frontier.
Copy !req
902. Frontier.
Copy !req
903. So that needs to make
that pothole there.
Copy !req
904. Does that have a label on it?
Copy !req
905. B. So that goes right at your feet.
Perfect.
Copy !req
906. I just got an idea.
Copy !req
907. You know what we've gotta have
them do when they're up there?
Copy !req
908. Who is it, Galileo
or somebody, said...
Copy !req
909. Oh, drop the feather.
Copy !req
910. Drop the feather and the hammer.
Copy !req
911. And he said, in a vacuum,
Copy !req
912. a hammer and a feather
would fall at the same speed.
Copy !req
913. Well, okay, but how are
we gonna do that?
Copy !req
914. A lead feather.
Copy !req
915. Wait a minute, we gotta keep the
flag as stable as possible,
Copy !req
916. because the wind resistance
makes it billow.
Copy !req
917. You wave the flag.
You can't do that!
Copy !req
918. Okay Houston, I'm about
to step off the LM.
Copy !req
919. He leaves a footprint there.
Copy !req
920. 'Cause they would leave
footprints there. Exactly!
Copy !req
921. And we so can send photographs
of that back home.
Copy !req
922. It's... that's...
That is the image!
Copy !req
923. Write that down, the footprints!
Copy !req
924. The word "foot" is disgusting.
Copy !req
925. Maybe people
don't want to hear "foot."
Copy !req
926. No, "with this step." You
would say, "with this step."
Copy !req
927. "With this step."
Copy !req
928. Okay, okay.
"With this step, I..."
Copy !req
929. No. "As man walks
on the moon..."
Copy !req
930. Too literal.
Too literal!
Copy !req
931. "The step of
a single man..."
Copy !req
932. "The step of a single man.
Copy !req
933. "But for us
back at home..."
Copy !req
934. Think of what
a step is like to us.
Copy !req
935. To a man, a step is just a step.
Copy !req
936. But to an ant looking up at
the man, he looks like a god.
Copy !req
937. And it doesn't look like a step,
Copy !req
938. it looks like a towering leap.
Copy !req
939. It's like a leap.
It's like a jump.
Copy !req
940. And this is a leap forward for...
For everything!
Copy !req
941. The next evolutionary step.
Copy !req
942. A leap forward in science.
Copy !req
943. - For humanity.
- Exactly!
Copy !req
944. This is good.
Copy !req
945. Okay, let's try one.
Copy !req
946. Hey.
Copy !req
947. Do you know who that is outside?
Who?
Copy !req
948. Right there.
Copy !req
949. Look.
Where?
Copy !req
950. Tell me whose that is.
Copy !req
951. Is he running?
Copy !req
952. Did you say hi? Did he look
at you when you came in?
Copy !req
953. Is there even a guy in there?
Copy !req
954. He's sitting there watching.
Copy !req
955. Shh. Shh. Go
outside, you'll see.
Copy !req
956. I'm sure he works for the studio.
I'll go talk to him.
Copy !req
957. They know we're here. We're
allowed to be here, okay?
Copy !req
958. Relax.
Copy !req
959. Okay.
Copy !req
960. Hi.
Copy !req
961. Go, go, go, go!
Copy !req
962. Jared, get in the car!
Copy !req
963. Boles, what are you doing?
Copy !req
964. What happened?
You shot your fucking gun!
Copy !req
965. Jared, shoot out the front,
Copy !req
966. try to get their license plate!
Copy !req
967. Come on!
Copy !req
968. - No!
- What?
Copy !req
969. What happened?
Copy !req
970. What happened to your car?
Copy !req
971. It stalled.
They got away.
Copy !req
972. Well, did
you get a look at them?
Copy !req
973. Whoever it is,
they know we're here.
Copy !req
974. Well, we don't know who it is.
Copy !req
975. I think it's the mole.
Copy !req
976. I think it's the mole that you guys sent
us here to find in the first place.
Copy !req
977. Who else is waiting
outside the studio
Copy !req
978. and then the minute we walk out...
Let's lock it up.
Copy !req
979. Let's lock it up
and call Brackett.
Copy !req
980. What... lock it up?
We're in the middle of this!
Copy !req
981. We can't just stop shooting!
Copy !req
982. Well, there might be
guys on the roof.
Copy !req
983. What do you mean,
guys on the roof?
Copy !req
984. What the fuck is going on?
Copy !req
985. And what, you got a gun?
Copy !req
986. This is CBS news special report.
Copy !req
987. The flight of Apollo 8.
Copy !req
988. Six days to the moon and back.
Copy !req
989. Brought to you
by Walter Cronkite.
Copy !req
990. The flight of Apollo 8 is over.
Copy !req
991. And all that remains is to remove the
astronauts from the space craft,
Copy !req
992. and carry them
less than two miles
Copy !req
993. to the deck of
the carrier Yorktown.
Copy !req
994. Future plans for space
missions, of course,
Copy !req
995. have been accelerated
considerably.
Copy !req
996. It means that they
can keep to the hoped-for
Copy !req
997. schedule of the next
Apollo 9 mission,
Copy !req
998. late in February,
or early in march,
Copy !req
999. to test out the landing module,
Copy !req
1000. and, uh, then move on towards
landing a man on the moon
Copy !req
1001. two flights further on
in the middle of July.
Copy !req
1002. So we've got
good news and bad news.
Copy !req
1003. Good news, his name
is Antonin Lhotsky.
Copy !req
1004. Uh-huh.
- He's a KGB agent.
Copy !req
1005. He's the man from outside
the studio the other night.
Copy !req
1006. Whoa, what?
Copy !req
1007. We suspect he's been the
mole the entire time.
Copy !req
1008. So... so then he knows about avalanche.
We're fucked!
Copy !req
1009. We don't think he does.
Copy !req
1010. We've been interrogating him
for the past couple of days.
Copy !req
1011. He doesn't seem
to know anything.
Copy !req
1012. We've raided
his house. Nothing.
Copy !req
1013. This guy's the mole?
And you... you got him?
Copy !req
1014. We got him.
Copy !req
1015. So, then what?
We're just...
Copy !req
1016. We're good?
Copy !req
1017. Well, not entirely.
Copy !req
1018. We, uh, got some new intel
on the Soviet progress,
Copy !req
1019. and it turns out they're doing
better than we thought.
Copy !req
1020. It looks like they could possibly make
it to the moon by the end of '69.
Copy !req
1021. Which means that we need to be
done by April at the latest.
Copy !req
1022. Yeah, that puts us
on a pretty tight timeline.
Copy !req
1023. They know we're here.
Copy !req
1024. We're allowed to be here, okay?
Relax.
Copy !req
1025. Hi.
Copy !req
1026. Go, go, go, go!
Copy !req
1027. Jared, get in the car!
Copy !req
1028. Hello?
Matt, we have a problem here.
Copy !req
1029. Gentleman got the contract
with, I don't know, somebody.
Copy !req
1030. This is who they say
the mole was.
Copy !req
1031. So we interviewed him?
Copy !req
1032. Yeah, over a year ago.
Copy !req
1033. Remember when you asked me to find
out who was on the phone with Webb?
Copy !req
1034. Of course.
Copy !req
1035. I did.
Copy !req
1036. Second burn
to the lunar surface.
Copy !req
1037. Then we can go in after...
For 250.
Copy !req
1038. 250 seconds is all we can do?
Copy !req
1039. That's the maximum,
and you know that...
Copy !req
1040. Did you talk to TRW?
Copy !req
1041. Yeah. And you know how they
are about their fuels.
Copy !req
1042. So we are in trouble...
Grumman...
Copy !req
1043. What does this mean?
Copy !req
1044. So the mole knew that we
couldn't make it to the moon
Copy !req
1045. for over a year?
Copy !req
1046. I don't think so.
Copy !req
1047. I don't think
that Lhotsky's the mole,
Copy !req
1048. I don't think Lhotsky
was outside the studio.
Copy !req
1049. I mean, Lhotsky knows that we
can't make it to the moon,
Copy !req
1050. so maybe they...
He wouldn't cooperate
Copy !req
1051. and they had to
make him a fall guy
Copy !req
1052. by saying that he's the mole.
Copy !req
1053. They?
Copy !req
1054. Yeah.
Copy !req
1055. What do you mean? The CIA.
Copy !req
1056. Okay, well then, who's outside
the studio following us?
Copy !req
1057. CIA agents.
Copy !req
1058. That's why boles
didn't shoot them.
Copy !req
1059. They're all working together.
Copy !req
1060. They're all watching us,
and they're lying to us.
Copy !req
1061. For what?
For what purpose?
Copy !req
1062. They know everything
that we're doing.
Copy !req
1063. Why... This doesn't
make any sense.
Copy !req
1064. There's no reason
for them to be following us.
Copy !req
1065. You... have you...
Copy !req
1066. Have you heard of a
conspiracy theory before?
Copy !req
1067. Yeah.
Copy !req
1068. I think we're in one.
Copy !req
1069. Okay, leg out!
Copy !req
1070. That doesn't look real.
Copy !req
1071. Okay, you know what we'll do?
Copy !req
1072. Jump on the count of three.
Ready?
Copy !req
1073. I'm bringing the bounce in.
Copy !req
1074. That's a big jump.
Copy !req
1075. Come on, you're supposed
to be Neil Armstrong.
Copy !req
1076. He's brave. Ready?
Copy !req
1077. There we go.
Copy !req
1078. Uh, change the background.
Copy !req
1079. One more.
Copy !req
1080. How about that?
Copy !req
1081. Great.
Copy !req
1082. That's great.
Copy !req
1083. What are we getting in the
reflection of his helmet?
Copy !req
1084. Am I in it?
Copy !req
1085. We'll have
to replace that after.
Copy !req
1086. That looks great.
And then you just...
Copy !req
1087. We have to repress this.
Copy !req
1088. Put that on an animation
stand and reshoot it.
Copy !req
1089. This is the original
from the sound stage.
Copy !req
1090. And the crater textures
are added after.
Copy !req
1091. Getting rid of the
details in the studio.
Copy !req
1092. You go in and you black out
the areas with litho ink.
Copy !req
1093. Let's move this
a little bit further down,
Copy !req
1094. because it seems
a little too square.
Copy !req
1095. Square to camera?
Yeah.
Copy !req
1096. Sure.
Copy !req
1097. Wow.
Copy !req
1098. Ready?
That's good. Yeah, go.
Copy !req
1099. It works.
Copy !req
1100. Yes!
Copy !req
1101. This is amazing!
Go again.
Copy !req
1102. Matt.
Yes?
Copy !req
1103. Have you seen this?
Have you seen this?
Copy !req
1104. Do it again! Do it again!
Owen, look, look.
Copy !req
1105. Hammer, feather.
Copy !req
1106. Drop!
Galileo was right.
Copy !req
1107. Dude, I just put
a weight in it. What?
Copy !req
1108. "NASA scientist dies."
Copy !req
1109. It's from this morning's paper.
Copy !req
1110. Well, what the...
Matt, it's Lhotsky.
Copy !req
1111. What?
Copy !req
1112. Boles, he must've
known about it.
Copy !req
1113. Listen, think
why Lhotsky's dead.
Copy !req
1114. Obviously, he was talking to
Webb, so they killed him.
Copy !req
1115. They're going to kill me...
Copy !req
1116. We don't know why that guy's dead.
Yes, we do.
Copy !req
1117. They're going to kill me?
What are you talking about?
Copy !req
1118. They're going to kill us both, they're
going to kill the astronauts.
Copy !req
1119. I'm sure... Anyone who
knows about this.
Copy !req
1120. I'm sure Lhotsky knew too much and so
they got rid of him. Okay? That's it.
Copy !req
1121. Right! Right! That's
what I'm talking about!
Copy !req
1122. He was the mole, okay?
Copy !req
1123. No... no, they're tying
off loose ends!
Copy !req
1124. Yeah, and, so, who else
is gonna die, huh?
Copy !req
1125. They're gonna kill Jim Webb? The
head of NASA? He knows, too!
Copy !req
1126. Maybe. Maybe. You don't
think they would?
Copy !req
1127. No! Okay, put the suit on and get
ready, all right? Shut the fuck up.
Copy !req
1128. There's a glob of something on the...
on the glass. Owen, could you get it?
Copy !req
1129. No, it's right... You didn't get it.
It's right there.
Copy !req
1130. Right, right there.
Copy !req
1131. What... What are you doing?
It's just a test.
Copy !req
1132. Boles, I don't take
orders from you!
Copy !req
1133. - Oh, really?
- Enough, come on.
Copy !req
1134. Yeah, I don't take orders from someone
who's trying to get us killed.
Copy !req
1135. Owen, Owen, Owen. Drop it.
Copy !req
1136. He let them get away.
No, he didn't...
Copy !req
1137. Right?
He let them get away!
Copy !req
1138. That's what you did.
Oh, really?
Copy !req
1139. - Yes, you missed on purpose!
- Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Copy !req
1140. What... what are you doing? What
are you doing? We're friends.
Copy !req
1141. Who are they?
We're friends.
Copy !req
1142. Who are they?
Is it Brackett? The CIA?
Copy !req
1143. Why don't you tell him about how you've
been calling Brackett every day,
Copy !req
1144. trying to get Johnson thrown off
the mission. Tell him that!
Copy !req
1145. What are you talking about?
Hey, ask your friend.
Copy !req
1146. Okay, hold on.
Copy !req
1147. Tell him. Tell him.
Copy !req
1148. We choose to go to the moon.
Copy !req
1149. We choose to go to the moon.
Copy !req
1150. We choose to go to the moon
in this decade
Copy !req
1151. and do the other things.
Copy !req
1152. Not because they are easy,
but because they are hard.
Copy !req
1153. Because that goal will serve
to organize and measure
Copy !req
1154. the best
of our energies and skills.
Copy !req
1155. Because that challenge is one
that we're willing to accept.
Copy !req
1156. One we are unwilling to postpone, and one
we intend to win, and the others, too.
Copy !req
1157. We shall send to the moon,
Copy !req
1158. 240,000 miles away from the
control station in Houston,
Copy !req
1159. a giant rocket,
Copy !req
1160. more than 300 feet tall, the
length of this football field,
Copy !req
1161. made of new metal alloys, some of
which have not yet been invented,
Copy !req
1162. capable of standing
heat and stresses
Copy !req
1163. several times more than
have ever been experienced,
Copy !req
1164. on an untried mission
Copy !req
1165. to an unknown celestial body,
Copy !req
1166. and then return it
safely to earth,
Copy !req
1167. re-entering the atmosphere at speeds
of over 25,000 miles per hour,
Copy !req
1168. and do all this... And do
all this and do it right,
Copy !req
1169. and do it first,
before this decade is out,
Copy !req
1170. then we must be bold.
Copy !req
1171. And therefore, as we set sail,
Copy !req
1172. we ask god's blessing on the
most hazardous and dangerous
Copy !req
1173. and greatest adventure on
which man has ever embarked.
Copy !req
1174. Thank you.
Copy !req
1175. So this is the only copy?
Copy !req
1176. Yeah. So, now what? We
just bring it to Brackett?
Copy !req
1177. Oh, I'll take it to Brackett.
You stay here and clean up.
Copy !req
1178. Clean up what?
Copy !req
1179. Clean up the studio.
Destroy everything.
Copy !req
1180. What if we... What if
we need that stuff?
Copy !req
1181. We won't.
Good work.
Copy !req
1182. Thanks.
I'll see you soon.
Copy !req
1183. - Hey, boles.
- Lhotsky wasn't the mole, was he?
Copy !req
1184. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
1185. Yeah, I don't...
Copy !req
1186. I don't know.
Copy !req
1187. I've been working on this too long.
I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1188. Well, get some rest.
Copy !req
1189. I'll see you soon.
Copy !req
1190. Bye, buddy.
Copy !req
1191. He's gonna spot one of our guys pretending
to be a rocket scientist instantly.
Copy !req
1192. We need to send people who are gonna look
like they have no idea what's going on.
Copy !req
1193. They can't make it to the moon.
Copy !req
1194. I'm gonna tell you
what they said.
Copy !req
1195. An ethical problem
with this at all?
Copy !req
1196. He let them get away! That's what you did.
Oh, really?
Copy !req
1197. Yes, you missed on purpose!
Copy !req
1198. Hey whoa, whoa, whoa!
What... what are you doing?
Copy !req
1199. What are you doing?
We're friends!
Copy !req
1200. - Who are they?
- We're friends.
Copy !req
1201. What, you think that's your friend?
Who, Brackett?
Copy !req
1202. The CIA? Why don't you
tell him about how...
Copy !req
1203. Hey, Julie.
Can I borrow your husband?
Copy !req
1204. He what?
Simon's asleep. Inside.
Copy !req
1205. I can go inside
so you guys can talk.
Copy !req
1206. You can stay outside.
Copy !req
1207. No, I don't need to talk.
I wanna know if, um...
Copy !req
1208. If you wanna... we're... We're going
to get rid of the stuff from work.
Copy !req
1209. You can go if you want.
Copy !req
1210. No, I'm going to stay here.
Copy !req
1211. How's Simon? Are you guys
excited about the big launch?
Copy !req
1212. Okay.
Have a good afternoon.
Copy !req
1213. Thanks. You, too.
I'll see you soon, okay?
Copy !req
1214. Yeah, bye.
Copy !req
1215. Good morning.
Copy !req
1216. It's t-minus one hour, 29 minutes
and 53 seconds and counting.
Copy !req
1217. In just an hour and a half, if all
goes well, Apollo eleven astronauts,
Copy !req
1218. Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins
Copy !req
1219. are to lift off
from pad 39-a out there
Copy !req
1220. on the voyage man always
has dreamed about.
Copy !req
1221. Next stop for them, the moon.
Copy !req
1222. And we are all about
to witness the fulfillment
Copy !req
1223. of that promise
that president Kennedy made
Copy !req
1224. at rice university stadium in
Texas, on September 12, 1962.
Copy !req
1225. We passed 10,000 odd cars
Copy !req
1226. parked around the gate-1 area at 4:00 A.M.
when we got here.
Copy !req
1227. Cars from every state, with
little kids staring wide-eyed,
Copy !req
1228. and we saw
teenagers with telescopes.
Copy !req
1229. It was a very moving scene
for me, because
Copy !req
1230. Americans cared then,
I think, and they care now.
Copy !req
1231. And it says, "good luck, Apollo
11" engraved in the sand.
Copy !req
1232. All going very smoothly
here with the count.
Copy !req
1233. T-minus 60 seconds
and counting.
Copy !req
1234. We've passed t-minus 60.
Power transfer is complete.
Copy !req
1235. Twelve, eleven, ten, nine...
Copy !req
1236. Ignition sequence starts.
Copy !req
1237. Six, five, four,
three, two, one.
Copy !req
1238. And good afternoon from ABC
space headquarters in New York.
Copy !req
1239. With me is our science editor, Jules
Bergman and we are on the air today
Copy !req
1240. to bring you a complete report on
some very, very important maneuvers
Copy !req
1241. to be performed by Apollo 11.
Copy !req
1242. Basically a position
to begin the process...
Copy !req
1243. Hello?
Copy !req
1244. Matt?
Copy !req
1245. Are you... Are you
seeing this right now?
Copy !req
1246. - Matt, they're not dead.
- The CIA lied to us.
Copy !req
1247. Wait, what?
Copy !req
1248. The men following us at the
studio are outside my house.
Copy !req
1249. Are you sure? Yes,
meet me at your motel.
Copy !req
1250. What the hell?
Copy !req
1251. Owen?
Copy !req
1252. Hello?
Copy !req
1253. Who's there?
Copy !req
1254. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
1255. Okay, okay, okay.
Copy !req
1256. Uh... uh...
Copy !req
1257. Where's the other car?
Where's the...
Copy !req
1258. Um, um, out back.
Out back.
Copy !req
1259. Okay, stand back.
Copy !req
1260. Sorry.
Copy !req
1261. There is a delirium
of enthusiasm today...
Copy !req
1262. Come on.
Copy !req
1263. Come on, come on.
Copy !req
1264. Come on, Owen.
Come on!
Copy !req
1265. Matt!
Copy !req
1266. What?
Copy !req
1267. There's a car!
Copy !req
1268. Jared, run!
Copy !req
1269. Shit.
Go, go, go.
Copy !req
1270. Andy, hold on.
Copy !req
1271. Fuck.
Copy !req
1272. They're right behind us.
They're right behind us.
Copy !req
1273. Get their faces! Get their faces, Andy!
Get their faces!
Copy !req
1274. This is fucking crazy!
Copy !req
1275. Oh, god!
Oh, Christ!
Copy !req
1276. He's got a gun!
What?
Copy !req
1277. - He's got a fucking gun.
- Okay, duck, duck, duck!
Copy !req
1278. Shit.
Copy !req
1279. What's happening?
Copy !req
1280. Oh, fuck. Fuck!
Copy !req
1281. Okay, okay.
Copy !req
1282. Get out of here.
Get out of here.
Copy !req
1283. I'm trying.
Get out of here.
Copy !req
1284. Dude, they're
right in front of us.
Copy !req
1285. Yeah, I know.
Copy !req
1286. They're gonna ram us,
they're gonna ram us!
Copy !req
1287. Oh!
Copy !req
1288. Owen!
Copy !req
1289. Owen!
Copy !req
1290. Owen!
Copy !req
1291. Owen!
Copy !req
1292. Owen!
Copy !req
1293. So they're not
all labeled, right?
Copy !req
1294. It goes '67, '68, '69. But not
everything's... Not everything's marked.
Copy !req
1295. Well, you'll figure it out.
Copy !req
1296. Hey.
Copy !req
1297. Okay, man.
Copy !req
1298. As soon as I know where
we're going, I'll call you.
Copy !req
1299. Yeah.
Copy !req
1300. Good evening.
Copy !req
1301. Hello, there's a man at the end
of the bar wearing glasses.
Copy !req
1302. Could you please give
the phone to him?
Copy !req
1303. Telephone.
Copy !req
1304. Hello?
Copy !req
1305. You're a real piece of
shit, you know that?
Copy !req
1306. We're looking for you.
Where you been?
Copy !req
1307. Yeah, I'll tell you what,
let's make a trade.
Copy !req
1308. Okay.
Copy !req
1309. My location for the names of
the agents on your kill team.
Copy !req
1310. We don't have any kill team.
Copy !req
1311. Yeah, well, who killed Owen
and hung him in his garage?
Copy !req
1312. Okay. Come down to the office.
We'll discuss it.
Copy !req
1313. Yeah, I'll come in.
Copy !req
1314. No, I'll tell you
what's gonna happen.
Copy !req
1315. I have a film
of everything we did.
Copy !req
1316. I have proof that the CIA conspired
to fake the moon landing
Copy !req
1317. and that Owen Williams is the one that
everybody is about to see walk on the moon.
Copy !req
1318. And that you killed him
to keep it a secret.
Copy !req
1319. I even got you
planning Northwoods,
Copy !req
1320. the same as I got you right now.
Copy !req
1321. No one will take
that seriously, kid.
Copy !req
1322. Yeah, well, call my bluff.
Copy !req
1323. My last movie's about to convince
the world we went to the moon.
Copy !req
1324. Then why don't
I make you a deal?
Copy !req
1325. Come back and work for us,
Copy !req
1326. and I'll make you the head
of your own department.
Copy !req
1327. Yeah, how stupid
do you think I am?
Copy !req
1328. I'll tell you what.
Copy !req
1329. Keep the film as collateral if you
don't believe me. Just think about it.
Copy !req
1330. The surface appears to be, uh,
Copy !req
1331. very, very fine grained as
you get close to it.
Copy !req
1332. It's almost like a powder.
Copy !req
1333. Down there, uh, is very fine.
Copy !req
1334. Okay, I'm going to
step off the LM now.
Copy !req
1335. That's one small step for man,
Copy !req
1336. one giant leap for mankind.
Copy !req
1337. And the, uh, the surface
is fine and powdery.
Copy !req
1338. I can... I can pick
it up loosely with my toe.
Copy !req
1339. It does adhere in fine...
Copy !req
1340. Okay, we shouldn't take
Copy !req
1341. any more pictures on this roll
until earth comes, I don't think.
Copy !req
1342. This is about out, it's just about
out until our last color roll,
Copy !req
1343. so, uh, we'll switch to black and
white as soon as we get to earth.
Copy !req
1344. - We might make it in time.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1345. There it is, it's coming up.
What?
Copy !req
1346. The earth.
You see it?
Copy !req
1347. Yeah.
Copy !req
1348. Beautiful.
It's half-way up.
Copy !req
