All language subtitles for Project Blue Book S02E02 The Roswell Incident (2)

Previously on Project Blue Book.

I want Project Blue Book to formally
close the Roswell incident.

Run! You put Blue Book in that position
and they fail, those guys won't be the

only ones to lose their jobs.

Somebody left us a message.

Tomorrow at 9 a .m. I will show the
world proof of what really happened in

Roswell, New Mexico.

Mexico on a cancel.

I'm out of town for a couple days.

Don't be gone too long.

I'll miss you.

There were two separate crash times.

Covered its remains and buried under a
big dead tree on the land.

What is that?

sir what's the situation something
crashed again middle of town the whole

street's on fire let's go

No guess is as good as mine.

Let's get some lights out here. Set a
perimeter.

50 -foot radius, two -man post, and
let's sweep these buildings. I don't

anyone near that thing.

Professor, what do you suggest?

Professor.

Professor! It's okay. I know what this
is. Doc!

Duncan.

Hello, General.

Duncan's claimed responsibility for the
tire stunt, the letter, the whole damn

thing. Let's go through all that trouble
and turn himself in before the

deadline. Doesn't make any sense.

Well, he doesn't want to. Not yet.

He brought you here for a reason,
General. Whatever he's doing, he's not

yet. Well, he's in my custody now. Trust
me.

He's done.

Duncan Booker.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

According to this, you were a
troublemaker back then as well.

Is that what the Air Force thinks of me?
Well, spreading lies, trying to create

a panic. Am I missing something?

You?

You're missing a lot, General.

Oh, don't get cute with me now. What
exactly did he miss?

The reason you created all this chaos,
I'd like to know.

General, the public is going to want to
know what all this was about. Hearing it

allows us a chance to counter his
narrative strategically makes sense.

I'm assuming you have a story to tell.

Okay, Duncan, regale us.

Well, when you came to see Judy and I
and asked what we saw, I thought we were

supposed to tell the truth.

Sign it.

Sign it.

I did every detail.

And you told me to never repeat that
story again.

And if I did, there'd be consequences.

And when I asked why, why would I be
punished? Just for telling the world

saw? That's what I know.

Things took a turn.

You don't remember that, General?

You know what I remember?

I remember you signing a statement
claiming that what you saw was a weather

balloon. So do me a favor, cut the
bullshit, because every word out of your

mouth has been a lie. You get everyone
in D .C. to sign the same thing?

You were both there, weren't you? When
the saucers flew over the Capitol?

See, I saw you on TV that weekend and I
thought, bastards doing it again,

ruining more people's lives.

Just couldn't stomach it anymore. So
that's what this is about?

Revenge? This is about getting the truth
out there.

These things really exist.

It's about making sure more people like
me don't get beat down over it. Because

the world needs to know what's really
going on.

Still have a piece of the saucer.

Yeah.

I may have made those stunts up just to
get your attention, but part about the

evidence, that's true.

That's what you want the world to see
tomorrow morning? Unless the general

goes on TV and tells the truth about
what really happened here in Roswell.

See, the plan's already set in motion.

I'm just giving you a chance to do the
right thing here and come clean.

Either way.

Truth is coming out.

Told you the people in this town are
nuts. So what are we going to do with

Search his place first. What for?

Oh, I don't know, Professor. Maybe he's
hiding Santa Claus in the attic.

Look, just go to his house and report
back to me what you find.

We've only got a few hours to shut this
down. I want no stone unturned.

Understood?

Can you stop that, please?

What am I doing?

Your brain is like in overdrive right
now. I can hear what you're thinking.

The man built a shrine in his house.

He dumped the fly sauce in the middle of
town. He is crazy. You know what's

crazy? The Air Force paying people to be
quiet and beating them up if they

don't. That's crazy.

It's our turn.

What are you doing?

Artie gave us an order. He can give you
an order. I'm a civilian. I don't have

to listen to him. Stop the car.

Doc, stop the car.

Great.

Doc, what are you doing? We need to get
to the bottom of what really happened

here tonight.

Booker just confessed to faking the
whole thing. Yeah, not the crash six

ago. Harding already confirmed it was a
cover -up.

Forgetting that?

Project Mogul? If you're under orders,
then by all means go. I'm not stopping

you. But Stewart's house, it's just up
there.

And I want to check out his story. About
aliens.

On his property.

You're not very good at this, you know.

Whole undercover thing.

Harding is expecting us at Booker's. We
do not show up. It'll take 20 minutes.

If you help.

20 minutes to know the truth.

What do you see again?

A dead tree on the hill near the house.

Just about done digging holes, Doc.

Just keep digging.

This is ridiculous.

Hang on.

Come here.

Help me out.

You gotta be kidding me.

Jim, tell me you found something at
Booker's house.

A whole lot of nothing.

Every square inch.

Well, we could still burn it down, dig
through the foundation.

It'll make you feel any better.

He turned himself in. He knew we would
search the house.

He's screwing with us. He's been
screwing with us.

I gotta get a hold of the captain. When?
Why? He wasn't there.

At least he wasn't when I left. Was he
supposed to be?

You're going to wake the dead.

Ah, very funny.

It is, actually.

Hello. Sorry for the late hour. I'm Dr.
Alan Hynek. This is Captain Michael

Quinn. United States Air Force.

We have a bit of an emergency and need
use of your facilities.

Someone die? Yes.

We're just not sure who.

Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit,
sit down.

You know, six years ago, I brought 200
men down here.

We combed through every square inch of
the desert.

We pulled metal out of trees, under
rocks, places you wouldn't even think to

look.

We even found a horse that swallowed
some.

When we finished, I had to start all
over again.

So do you really expect me to believe
that I missed something?

You okay?

Hey.

I need you to know I don't really enjoy
this, but you have to understand what's

at stake here. So I'm going to ask you
one more time. Where is it?

Where is it?

Okay. I'll tell you.

Where's the need to write me a check?

So this is all about money?

My Connor's got a brand new car two days
after he changed his story.

Have a Roswell got chance.

Just to keep quiet. I want mine.

Let him go.

So all this stuff about trying to
embarrass me or expose the truth was...

hurt me back then.

Destroyed this town.

I'm sorry, son.

I truly am.

Let's say I do pay you. How do I know
you're not going to try this again?

I have no idea about that.

Where'd you get this?

Best classified.

They're definitely not human.

You sure?

I'm just a mortician, not a doctor.

I don't really do this.

Tell me again what this is about.

Uh... You ever hear of Project Blue
Book?

That's the Air Force program to
investigate flying saucers.

I don't trust the Air Force.

Neither do we. We don't work for them.

We work for you, the people.

And that's why we're here.

To find out what really happened here in
Roswell six years ago.

Is that what all the commotion's been
about?

The checkpoints and whatnot?

That's right.

Someone's out there spreading more lies.

And we're doing whatever we can to get
to the truth.

I like that.

You know, you tell us what you know.

Maybe you can be a hero.

Are these part of those things that flew
the ship?

Flew the ship?

Yeah.

There were five of them.

Five of what?

You know.

And how do you know that?

Because the night of the crash, I got a
call.

Hello? Base was asking if I had five
child -sized coffins I could deliver to

them ASAP.

Ask yourself, what would a military base
need with five child -sized coffins?

And how did you wind up on the base that
night?

I double as the ambulance driver in
Roswell.

One of the captains got into a
motorcycle wreck and needed a transport.

When I got there, the place was crazy
with activity, like we were under attack

or something.

I asked what was going on.

No one would talk to me.

So I went looking for someone who would.

I wound up running into a nurse.

She told me to leave or they'll throw
you in jail.

And what was going on in there?

From what I could see.

It looked like an alien autopsy.

I don't know, Doug.

Second -hand account six years ago, and
he wasn't even in the room. I wasn't in

the room when my son was born, but I'm
pretty sure Mimi had something to do

it. You know, if we can find this nurse
and she confirms the story... What then?

What? Go to Harding?

If you really did cover this up, we
can't come to him with this.

Where have you been?

I gave you an order to supervise a
search of Booker's.

Blackstone said you didn't even show.

I took a wrong turn.

The roads out here are so poorly marked,
so...

It was my fault.

We're going home.

Booker's changed his story.

He's agreed to make a public confession
at the local TV station in a couple of

hours. In exchange, we won't press
charges.

What? We had a talk. Came to an
understanding.

And I apologized.

Honestly, I think that's all he ever
wanted from the beginning. And he's

on TV?

We both are.

To make light of the whole thing. Kind
of like that Orson Welles thing.

The name of the game is Control the
Narrative.

I thought you two would have learned
that by now. That doesn't really make

sense. Yes, it is, Captain. The kind
worth celebrating.

I'm thinking scotch. You have a little
time before I have to be at the station.

Yes, General. That sounds great. I just
feel like we've gotten more important.

Yes, General. That sounds great.

See you in my office in ten minutes. And
a little attitude adjustment,

Professor. I'm not opening up a good
bottle if you're going to be sour about

The Enola Gay.

She was based out of Roswell.

Bet you didn't know that, Professor.

509th Bomb Squadron.

I arranged to have her shipped to the
Smithsonian after her service.

History like that needs to be preserved.
Over 70 ,000 Japanese died in

Hiroshima. Shouldn't that history be
preserved as well?

We were at war, Professor.

Many more would have died, Americans and
Japanese, had we not taken the decisive

action to end it.

Well, in that case, I'm sure it was,
uh...

painfully difficult choice to make.

It was the only way to protect the world
from chaos.

And it requires a special kind of man to
do that.

The kind of man who knows where the line
is drawn that separates the unthinkable

from the necessary.

The kind of man that has a job to do and
gets it done.

That's what makes a hero.

To men like that.

To men like us.

I know there are hard calls to make,
General, but I also recognize the way

men call their inhumanity necessary.

In my eyes, that doesn't make a hero. It
makes a coward.

Maybe lay off the scotch duck.

Did you just call me a coward? Yes, I
suppose I am. All right, let's get you

of here.

See, because deep down, that's exactly
what you are, General. You know it, and

you won't do anything to try to change
it. So you tell me this. Between men

us, how long can you pretend to believe
in something that you know is not true?

I need to urinate.

Now there's a man who cannot handle his
liquor.

Sir, permission to see if he's okay.

Yeah.

And, uh, tell Professor Hynek that
tonight is his last night as a member of

Project Blue Book.

I think I've had quite enough of that
son of a bitch.

Sir, yes, sir.

How was that?

Do you realize what you just did? Just
come on. We don't have much time.

Hold on.

You're not drunk. Yes.

Undercover, remember?

You'll never suspect a thing now.

And we both got out of that performance.
What, you thought calling Harding a

coward was a good way to get us out of
the room? Yeah.

You told me to tell you you were fired.

Well, I guess I have nothing to lose
now.

Confound it. Doug.

Just don't try to talk me out of this
now, okay? I've seen too much. I've got

get to the bottom of this.

Earlier, I checked with the guard.

I was just going to wait until we were
done, but you had to go and get all

dramatic. So you do believe Duncan's
story? What I believe in is finding out

truth. We made a pact.

I'll go back on my word.

I'll look for the duty roster of 47.

You grab a phone book, we'll cross
-reference in the car.

Four. I don't know if we'll have time
for that, Doc.

Harding's due on TV in under two hours.
Well, this one's close by. He says here

she subbed in the night of the crash.

Her address is... Oh.

What is it?

It's Nurse.

Her last name.

It's different in the phone book.

Really? Yeah.

It's about a half a mile up here on the
left.

Imagine that.

Looks like someone's headed out.

Got here just in time.

Judy!

Hey, sorry for the scare, miss.

Is that your name? Judy?

Yes.

Who are you? Well, I'm Captain Michael
Quinn. This is Dr. Alan Hynek. We're

Project Blue Book, United States Air
Force.

Maybe we could talk inside.

I was just heading out, so if you could
move your car.

It's about your husband.

I don't have a husband.

That's funny, because he said he wasn't
married either.

The military record only lists your
maiden name, but the phone book that had

your married one.

Booker, isn't it?

Hold on.

It's okay, we're friends.

Wait, where are you going? Hey!

Give me that back!

Just the soul to the captain of the
United States Air Force.

Oh, my God.

Captain. How did she even get that film?
Captain. Doc, Doc, that is not just

highly classified government property.

Do you even realize what kind of trouble
you're in right now?

Stealing a piece of sensitive material
like that?

That's worse than the Rosenbergs. This
is the final piece.

What were you going with us when we
pulled up?

TV station, right?

This is what Duncan wanted all along.
It's what he planned.

What are you talking about?

He was telling us the truth first time.

He wants revenge.

And he was going to get it by showing
this to Harding on live TV.

Showing it to the world.

Is that true?

So the station, they need to be prepared
for something like this. Which means

that they are in on it too.

What are you going to do with it?

The film. What? What? The cinematic
evidence of alien fucking life?

I don't know.

How about you tell me if there's any
goddamn bourbon in the house and we'll

from there.

Did they put it through? Yes, sir. You
should be on the line.

What is it with this town? It's like the
gates of hell.

Are you Nick?

Oh, Jim.

You've got to be on live TV in less than
an hour. You can't screw this up. Look,

if I can pull myself together after
ditching a plane over Guadalcanal during

war, I'm sure I can do a ten -minute
interview on live TV after a couple of

drinks.

I called the station.

It's patched in nationwide.

I'm just making sure that you're okay,
that's all.

You.

The State Department called.

This got on their radar.

You blow it, Blue Book goes away.

You go away.

Look, I fixed it the last time, didn't
I?

So what do we do?

Right now, she stays here until we sort
this all out.

Am I under arrest?

Are you leaving?

You've got to keep an eye on her. Unless
I'm under arrest, you can't force me to

stay here.

Being under arrest would be a vacation
for you right now. Trust me. You're

staying here.

What are you planning on doing with
this? That is Air Force property.

What, you're going to show it to
Harding?

Really?

After all that we've seen?

You do know what we saw.

Right? And what that means for the
world.

Come on, don't do this. Give me the
film.

Come on.

Okay, um, I understand.

You know, um, I don't want you to get in
trouble or to have to put you in that

position. You have another drink. We
both have another drink.

Sorry.

Okay.

General. Where'd you go, Captain?
Where's the professor?

Sir, I need to speak with you. In
private, it's urgent.

Sir, we need to get going. This won't
take long. Excuse us.

If you're trying to talk me into saving
his job... Was it really a spy balloon

that crashed in 47?

Oh, for Pete's sake. Because I've seen
evidence to the contrary tonight.

Captain, I'm in no mood.

What is this?

That's a test.

You need to see it, sir, if you haven't
already.

And I might add that given what's on
there, I will need to be briefed at the

highest levels.

Is this a joke?

General, I'm coming! What the hell is
this, Captain?

You know what?

When I get back, you and I are going to
talk.

Let go!

How far did you get?

All the way.

You know, I really thought at the end of
the day we had each other's backs. You

were making a rash decision.

So when it comes down to it, you'll just
do what you gotta do for you.

Not us.

Where's Judy?

Where's Judy?

Headed to the TV station.

And the film?

It was never ours to begin with.

I just didn't want to be the one
responsible for hiding the greater...

Phone's not working.

Can't get through to the TV station. You
won't make it on time.

Not if I take the main roads.

I'm not going to.

What are you doing? I'm coming with you.
No, you're not. Yes, I am. No, you're

not.

General, nice to see you, sir.
Pleasure's mine. Thank you very much. So

are we doing this? Right this way, sir.
We're just getting set up for you now.

Can we get some makeup on the general,
please?

Come on through, guys.

How are you? I'm well, thank you, sir.

Here you go.

We've still got time.

We've still got time. Right through
here, gentlemen.

Right through here.

No, no, no, no. It's like putting a
lipstick on a pig.

Michael. The least you could do is not
talk right now. I'm sorry.

Well, a lot of good that'll do me a
court martial.

If this film gets broadcast, everything
changes. For better or for worse, you

have no idea.

You do not know what's going to happen.

But someone is going to take the fall.

Guess what they'll be looking at now.
Yeah, you're right. I don't know.

And if they do blame you, I'll say that
you had nothing to do with it. But I

did. I did have something to do with it.
Yes.

So imagine that. Imagine that. Imagine a
world with the truth out there and your

name associated with that. There is no
one truth, Doc.

Not with anything.

It's just like what went on here six
years ago. No one's ever going to know

really happened. You know why?

Because maybe the world isn't ready to
hear that aliens exist.

And this is your camera here. You can
look directly into it. Duncan, yours is

that one.

You don't have to raise your voices. The
mic's up here. I'll pick everything up.

Thank you very much. Just give me for
the count.

You want to review what you're going to
say first?

Yes. Thanks.

Don't worry if you miss a few words.
I'll make sure that we stay on track.

30 seconds, guys.

Hey, don't be nervous.

Here's your truck.

Hey!

We may never get this chance again.

A man needs to know where the line is
drawn that separates the unthinkable

the necessary.

Ten seconds, everyone.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Good evening. I'm General James Harding
from the United States Air Force.

And we're here tonight live in Roswell,
New Mexico.

I want to talk to you people about a
rumor that's been circulating again,

a mysterious crash that's happened here
in the desert of New Mexico.

I want to tell you, people of America,
that's just a hoax.

And the hoaxer is here with us this
evening.

Duncan, why don't you tell the good
people about the stunt that you pulled?

The stunt?

Yes, let's talk about the stunt I
pulled.

Six years ago, this man, General
Harding, came into my house.

Threatened to kill me and my fiance if
we didn't lie about what we saw. He even

wrote me a check earlier today.

To make sure I stayed quiet.

That is your signature, isn't it, Joe?

Why would you do this?

But I won't stay quiet.

Not anymore.

Roll the thread.

Son of a bitch, what are you doing?

I

ain't

gonna cover that up now that the whole
world...

How did you get that?

How did you get that? Are we still live?

Turn that off. Turn off that film. Turn
those cameras around. Turn them around!

You have no idea what you've just done,
you son of a bitch. It's okay, General.

It's okay.

Professor? No one outside of this room
saw anything.

I had the switchboard disabled before
any signal was broadcast.

The film is fake, sir.

No one gets in or out of here.

Understood? Everyone needs to be
questioned. Round them up.

You overexposed the negative to wash out
any detail, but it didn't hide the

pattern of the studio light.

It does have a very distinctive pattern.

You'll see the same when you check back
over the film. The clock there as well.

The film was shot right here.

By Duncan, his wife, Judy, the help of
the station manager and a

couple of other actors.

It's over, Duncan.

You may as well come fully clean now.

Judy was there that day. Everything in
that film she saw with her own eyes,

still the truth. Get him back to the
base. This doesn't change anything. You

still tried to cover up the existence of
alien life. Now, get him out of here.

Don't touch him. You can't do that.

How did you know?

Captain Quinn figured out the
connection.

He raced here with me to help stop it,
so...

He deserves all the credit.

A light grid pattern, huh?

Surprised you didn't notice it, too.

Only you would notice that, Doc.

Duncan, Judy, Connors, a lot of people
went through a lot of trouble to see

Harding ruined.

I know what you're saying.

What am I saying?

Why not just let the film play?

Fake or not, the attention would have
got the press.

Sooner or later, the truth would have
come out.

Can't expose the truth by using a lie.

That would be worse than Harding.

You accepted my invitation.

I thought I was under orders, Captain.

You know, I don't usually move this
fast.

when I showed you where the spring key
was.

Can I ask you a serious question?

Absolutely not.

Now I'm in your home.

I'm home.

How

did

you know I needed that?

That is over, Kim.

I'll give them credit.

Quality was impressive.

Jim, what you saw in 47... It's what the
Soviets wanted us to see, I know. They

wanted us to panic.

We didn't. But what we found on that
craft... The sick work of Dr.

Mengele. What he did to those children's
bodies, disfiguring them, making them

look inhuman, was unconscionable.

Jim, you didn't fall for it then.

Don't fall for it now.

Of course not.

Then I'll take care of that. Put it in
the vault with the rest of them?

Sure. Maybe in ten years' time, we'll
release it.

Give the masses a little more to chew
on, huh?

Hmm.
