All language subtitles for Project Blue Book S02e09 Broken Arrow

Previously on Project Blue Book.

Can I ask you a serious question?

Absolutely not.

You've been lying to all of us this
whole time.

You work for the Russians.

I will take the blame for everything.
No, no, no. I'll still accuse the

colluding. A career is everything.

Over and out.

Your instincts about Susie were spot on.

Quinn? What are we going to do about
that? This is far from over.

We'll get through this, Doug.

As long as we're all together.

This is RCAF air traffic control.

Be advised, you have entered Canadian
airspace.

Please identify yourself.

Pilot, you are in violation of Canadian
airspace. You must ID immediately.

It's probably just some bush pilot fell
asleep at the wheel again.

Control, this is 02.

pilot we're having a hard time hearing
you can you please repeat climb to 15

heading 180 pilot

we're seeing an object of some kind
directly in your flight path

do you see anything up there what is
that i'm not sure

let's head straight for it

I'm trying!

Pilot, can you acknowledge, please?

Don't I? Pilot, acknowledge. What is
that thing?

They're going to crash.

Pilot, change course.

It's headed right for us!

Come on! Change course. Change course.
Change course.

It's going to hit us. It's going to jam.

Mayday! Mayday! Help!

I did try calling first.

A lot, actually.

Phone's not working.

Can we talk?

Yeah, sure. Come on in.

Excuse the mess.

What happened in here?

Well, told the generals everything.

About Susie?

I think they took it rather well,
actually.

What, they did this?

No, FBI.

I brought them in to look for listening
devices.

Very thorough, as you can see.

Didn't find any, so, you know, I guess I
got that going for me.

So what happens now?

Until such a time as we can determine if
your actions warrant a permanent

discharge, you will be placed on
administrative leave.

You had me fooled, Doc.

You weren't the only one.

Yeah, but I'm the only one who can be
held accountable.

You know, the thing that really gets me,
Air Force is questioning my loyalty.

I've dedicated my life to defending this
country, you know?

I judge like this now.

I don't blame them.

Objectively speaking, it makes sense,
given the political climate. Oh, you

by to cheer me up, huh?

Thanks. No, I... You know, things have
been hard at home, too. They questioned

Mimi and I for ten hours straight.

I don't question your loyalty.

Do I? I know who you are.

I look up to you.

Thanks.

I was actually coming by to tell you
that I was thinking of taking a

also.

You know, I'll continue with my studies
and all of that.

The science of ufology is in its
infancy, and it needs the kind of

study that you and I can provide.

That we did provide.

So that's it, huh?

No, it's not.

Because...

This case just came in, which is
potentially far too interesting to walk

from.

A plane collided with a UFO over
Canadian airspace.

Collided? Well, Canadian Air Force, they
don't have a UFO program. They asked if

we would assist with the investigation.

Oh, yeah?

What'd you say?

I said I'd check with my partner.

Your partner who's technically supposed
to be sitting on the sidelines right

now. I've never been officially informed
of this, but, uh, yes, yes.

It's not like if anyone wanted to check
on you, they'd even be able to get a

hold of you.

Plus, I, uh, I already bought the
tickets.

One last case, huh?

Before we ride off into the sunset.

Project Blue Book.

I'm your vice marshal, Christopher
Thomas.

Sir, Captain Michael Quinn, U .S. Air
Force. This is Dr. Allen Hayden.

And if you don't mind me asking, how'd
you hear about Blue Book all the way up

here? I've actually been advocating for
a program like yours for years in

Canada. Please.

So this wasn't your first encounter,
sir?

No. I've had dozens of unofficial
reports during my command, but never

like this.

We saw the first craft on radar at
approximately 2130. This was the Bush

He actually never identified himself.

So this was the unidentified aircraft.

No, sir. A second unidentified craft
appeared on radar at approximately 2132.

We clocked the other one at over 2 ,000
miles an hour. The pilot we were in

contact with, he tried to take evasive
maneuvers, but no matter what he did, he

couldn't get away.

It was as if the other whatever it was
was hunting it, sir.

Now, you said on the phone that's when
it looked like they collided. You're not

sure?

Well, we were sure.

But about an hour after it happened, our
radar picked up the first plane again

at 60 ,000 feet.

A prop plane?

That's not possible. That's what we
thought. But then the tower received

transmission.

We managed to record it. Would you allow
me?

Mayday! Mayday!

What is it?

Help! It's coming closer!

We have lost complete control!

Get the terrace apart!

Pull up!

It's taking off! Pull up!

It's taking off!

So the supposed collision happened here,
near King Island, when they were

traveling south.

But... That last media transmission at
60 ,000 feet was here near Port Belmont,

which is north.

And according to the tape, the pilots
still had visual contact with the other

craft. Which means if they ditched or
managed to land somehow, they'd be

somewhere in here.

A roughly 200 -mile square.

I already scrambled search and rescue to
fly a grid, but so far nothing.

Sir, what's here?

That's Hartley Bay.

The only thing up there is a logging
outpost.

People?

You seasonal workers, maybe? What are
you thinking?

Eyewitnesses on the ground.

Someone up there saw something. Could
help narrow our search.

Well, Hartley Bay's not accessible by
road. You'd have to take a seaplane up

there. I don't have any available pilots
right now.

Sir, as a matter of fact, you do.

Never gets old, Dad.

Great view, huh?

It is quite spectacular.

Think you'll go back to teaching?

I'm not sure yet.

Well, I think the generals will be at a
loss if you look for good.

You may have been a pain in their ass,
but they're better off grabbing you.

Yeah.

I think we did good, Captain.

We're the 27 Yankees.

We made for a pretty good team.

Yep.

We'll go back to flying for a while.

We'll pilot again.

I certainly seem to enjoy it.

Hey, why don't you take the yoke for a
bit? See what it feels like.

What? Come on. When are you ever going
to get a chance like this again? It's

easy. It's easy? Yeah, come on. Take it.
No, no, no. Don't do that. Let go.

This is a bad idea.

Just keep it steady.

Sit. Relax.

That's it.

Okay.

Look at that. You're flying.

Yes, I am. I'm flying.

Doc, you are flying.

You've got to be shitting me.

All right.

Keep me posted.

I still can't crack her. Jim, they've
been interrogating her for three...

days and she'll only say that she was
sent to ohio to find out about our ufo

program she's good and i'm starting to
believe quinn when he said he didn't

who she was i agree we still had to put
him on leave though what else could we

do we didn't have any jim i just got a
call from one of our intel groups in the

uk they picked up a radio transmission
that the boys in the cia managed to

decode has this been verified

That's what we've just been asked to do.

After we brief the president.

Excuse me, is this Hartley Bay?

I'm Greg.

I run the operation.

You hear about the crash?

Well, you know about the crash?

Yeah. The drones haven't worked since
last night.

I sent one of my guys to Key Junction to
alert the authorities, but I'd imagine

he's still on the road.

Can you tell us a little more about what
happened last night?

About 9 .30, there was an earth
-shattering boom.

Knocked the power out, scared me half to
death.

Ran outside to see what it was, but it
wasn't nothing.

It wasn't until this morning I found out
what happened.

Well, we have reason to believe that
there may still be survivors. Do you

you could get us to the crash site?

Survivors?

You mean aliens.

That's why you're here, isn't it?

Because it was a UFO crash?

Why do you think it was a UFO?

Gene!

Uh, Greg there said you saw a UFO fall
out of the sky.

That's not what I said.

It's not what I said!

So you didn't see a UFO?

No, I did.

I didn't see a UFO crash. I saw it cause
a crash.

Could you be more specific?

Sure. Last night, I was out hunting a
wolf that's been prowling around my

I saw fresh tracks. I knew I was close.

That's when I heard it.

It was moving so fast, I didn't think it
was possible.

And that plane looked like it tried real
hard to move out the way, but it was

hit by the light.

The plane split in two before it fell
behind those trees.

We get jets out here all the time from
the base, so I just assumed it belonged

to them.

I tried to call.

The phone's been down.

And you think you could estimate where
this plane went down?

Beyond that ridge.

At least five miles.

That way?

Are you sure?

Positive.

Thanks for your time.

The last radar transmission had it
headed the opposite way.

Well, if the lost power stopped
transmitting, it could have gone down

direction.

We need to get back in the air.

Call the base.

Tell Air Vice Marshal Thomas to divert
the operation east toward Hawkesbury

Island.

Eyewitness saw what we think was a
crash.

If you can stand down, I'll relay, and
we should have support under position in

a few hours.

That's a negative. We don't have time to
wait. There could be survivors on

the... What do you see?

Does that look like a... Part of a
plane?

Yes, it does. Hold on, Doc.

That's part of a wing.

Where's the rest of the plane?

He said it broke in half in the sky. It
could be scattered all over this area.

What about survivors?

This is not a good sign, Doc.

Look!

Anybody out there?

Anybody here?

Whoever it was that got themselves down
can't be far.

Hello?

Anyone out here?

Anybody here?

The plane.

Where's my plane?

I need to know.

I need to know now!

All right, easy.

We just want to make sure you're okay
first.

Who are you?

I'm Captain Michael Quinn, U .S. Air
Force. This is Dr. Alan Hynek.

U .S. Air Force.

American?

Right.

I thought it was in Canada.

We're with Project Blue Book. We were
asked to help investigate the plane's

disappearance.

Now, according to radar, there was
another object in your flight path. The

plane's nearby.

We'll radio in, get search and rescue to
divert to our new location.

We don't have time for that.

My co -pilot's still out there. We have
to find him and the plane.

Now.

Air Vice Marshal Tarman.

Journals Harding and Valentine, United
States Air Force.

I'm right back.

Sorry, I didn't know you were coming.
We're in the middle of a search and

rescue. We know.

Did you find it yet?

The aircraft?

How do you know about that?

What's going on?

We should speak in a secure room.

This way.

So where were you guys coming from
before you had a ditch?

I only asked because your plane was in
communication with RCAF ground control,

but you never identified yourself.

Didn't I?

You don't remember that?

Alex! Can you tell me where you're
headed, at least? Might help us locate

aircraft.

I had cargo headed to Alaska coming over
from Greenland.

Everything after that's a blur.

Oh, yeah? What kind of cargo?

Alex! I thought you guys wanted to help.

Just trying to make sense of what
happened, that's all.

Something's off.

No, no, he's still in shock.

What, he can't tell us anything that's
going to help us? Well, it could be

another explanation.

The UFO abductees often report a period
of missing time following an encounter,

hours, sometimes days. This guy wasn't
abducted. And we've disappeared for an

hour on radar.

We don't know what happened during that
time.

Over here.

Look at this.

Burn marks.

Those trees were ripped apart from
above.

Yeah, we must be close.

He's that way? Yeah.

No way that's part of a cargo aircraft.

Then what is it?

And where's the rest of it?

Is he in there?

I got you.

Stay there.

Take him out.

He's still breathing.

Oh, my gosh.

Easy. I don't know what kind of injuries
he could have. It's okay. He needs some

air. Get him over to that tree, please.

Come on.

Steady.

Alex. Look at me.

Look at me, buddy.

The plane.

Where's the plane?

What happened?

Where's the rest of the plane?

Where's what?

The plane, Alex.

What happened to the plane?

What happened?

You guys got a medical kit on board?

I'm gonna go check.

No, no, no, no.

Wait!

You've got to be

fucking kidding me.

Alex, I am Dr. Hynek.

Can you remember at all how you got
here?

The U .S. Air Force.

Where in America?

Something caused you to fly off course
and crash. Do you recall what that was?

I can't remember anything.

Hey, Doug.

Excuse me a second.

What is it?

Look at this instrument panel.

That's Russian. This is a bomber.

Which means that those two are Russian
military.

Are you sure?

He is now.

Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Oblansky.

Yuri.

That's pretty good American accent you
got there.

Спасибо.

You realize half the Royal Canadian Air
Force is out here looking for you right

now?

Not at this location.

Isn't that what you said earlier?

I'm not sure what you're planning on
doing right now, but with no plane, no

out, hurting us won't help you in the
least.

I'm not going to hurt you.

I need your help to find the rest of the
plane.

Move.

This thing's got to be scattered into a
million pieces out here.

What the hell do you need our help for?
I need what is on that plane.

So I'm pretty sure it's intact.

Because if it wasn't, everything within
five miles of here would be destroyed by

now. Five miles?

That's roughly the blast radius of a
nuclear bomb.

Not including radioactive fallout.

Yes, you are correct.

Are you telling me you had a nuclear
bomb on your plane? That is what I'm

saying.

Yes, and it's still out there.

And if it goes off, it will start World
War III.

Where the hell were you going before you
crashed?

Testing North American airspace.

There's nothing Americans don't do. Get
out of the live nuke!

Are you insane?

You Russians, man! Captain!

So you just wanted to get picked up on
radar then turned back. Is that it?

Yes. But you encountered another craft.

We don't know what it was.

All I know is that it separated us from
the fuselage.

Almost purposely.

Then dropped us like toys. I don't
remember much else, do you?

Why do you say purposely?

I remember thinking that whatever that
was, it was trying to take the bomb from

us.

Now, here's what I think. I think you're
a couple of ship pilots.

You got picked up on radar, took too
many Gs heading back, and your plane

apart. Now you want us to believe this
horse shit. No, I think... I think the

bomb was still on the plane when it went
down.

If it hasn't gone off, that means it's
somewhere nearby.

So I have to make sure that it's safe,
okay?

Do you both understand?

Could the force of the impact have armed
it?

Metametric and...

Radar triggers are designed to go off
beneath 1 ,000 feet.

But there is an internal safety switch.

What about a clock trigger?

It's possible.

But I'm sure it was damaged upon impact.

Right, meaning it could still harm.

Yes. So we have no idea how long it
could be before this thing detonates.

We call it a broken arrow.

It's a U .S. military term for missing
nuclear asset lost in transit.

We have solid intel that points to the
unidentified aircraft that went down as

Russian bomber.

What's been the Soviet response?

They've denied any knowledge.

They're stalling. If that aircraft
managed to make it back across the

Circle without going down, they could
avoid the consequences.

Like a counter -strike?

It's our last resort.

But it's definitely on the table.

We've been flying a grid north of here
since yesterday.

So far, nothing.

Your men might have found something,
though.

Our men?

Project Blue Book.

They came up to help investigate the
possibility of a UFO encounter with the

aircraft. Blue Book is here?

They're out in the bush right now.

Partner, I called you captain. Are you a
pilot?

Yeah.

I flew in the war.

I was decorated five times. You?

Six.

Six times?

That's impressive.

So why are you doing this now?

It's a blue book, studying UFOs.

Why? I wanted to defend my country from
people like you.

I'm not a UFO.

Yeah, well, you're Russian.

You send spies to infiltrate our
programs and exploit our fears of the

unexplained. You're worse.

So do you believe in aliens?

They're real?

I do.

After last night, 100%. We have heard
that this blue book in Russia is first

its kind, yes?

Yeah, you have a similar program.

Not that I know of, no. Because Russia
does have its own history of UFOs.

What do you know of our history?

Ah, Tungustia in 1908, a meteor falls
from the sky 2 ,000 miles apart or

decimated. They kept the witnesses there
claiming it wasn't a meteor at all, but

a craft of some kind. We also know of
this.

Well, after the war began, did you
notice an increase in sightings at all?

The frequency increased for us, yes.

Yeah, well, we had a spike too,
particularly around military

nuclear test sites.

Hey, Doc.

You're crossing a line here.

We don't tell the Russians anything, you
understand?

I'm trying to gain trust, Captain. And
if there are UFOs over Russian nuclear

sites, well, that lines up with the
theory that I have.

The UFOs are protecting us from
ourselves and the weapons we created.

I don't give a damn about your theories
right now. You keep quiet about

America's nuclear program.

The captain radioed in earlier said they
were following a lead on the crash, but

it was almost the opposite direction of
where we had the plane on radar before

it went down.

If Heineken Quinn are following a lead,
it's probably a good one. Have they

checked in since?

Their only radio is on the plane. If
they're on foot in the backcountry,

have to circle back to let us know.

No, but if they found something... Which
means they'd be needing our help right

now. Show us exactly where they were
last reported.

How do we know if it's armed?

We have to open it up to look inside.

What do you know how to do that?

I've been trained, but to handle
anything of that requires a very steady

This thing falls out of the sky, creates
this big hole, but if your hand's not

steady, it blows up.

Makes perfect sense.

So, one of us just has to get inside and
you will...

Talk us through the rest, yes?

All right, I'll do it. I will do it.
You're not going anywhere near that

Why should you?

I'm not the one who flew it over here.

So you think I'm going to blow it up
now?

Yeah, in a heartbeat.

Stupid Americans.

You think that Russians are the ones
eager to start the war?

Trust me, we are at war right now. Maybe
I'll kill you myself. Go ahead.

Stop it, both of you. We don't have time
for this. Put that down. Put it down.

I am the only non -military person here.

I also have a lot of experience dealing
with small tools in delicate spaces,

transistors, telescopes.

I should be the one to attempt this, but
we have to work together.

Okay?

Agreed?

I will show you the steps.

First, you need to open the panel. Just
give us some room.

In case it goes off?

Just stand, what, five feet back?

Fine, right next to my partner. Thank
you very much.

Doc. One last case, eh?

Right off into the sunset.

Gentle, Doctor.

It'll be the one in the middle.

This doesn't go well. We don't make it
out of here. I just want to tell you.

That doesn't help.

Yeah.

Roger that.

Okay. I need to take the door off.

Easy.

Doctor, please be careful.

Go, let's go!

A couple of our men found the seaplane
about ten miles east along with some

other wreckage. What about our guys?

Said they had it off on foot, deeper
into the forest. Well, let's get the

out there, then.

You should be able to see the safety
switch.

It'll be about a foot tall with a red
and green dial.

Do you see it?

Yes.

What does the dial show?

Well, uh, I can't read Russian, but it's
stuck halfway between red and green.

That's the arming switch.

If it's stuck in the middle, it means
the bomb could be armed.

Can't we just push the dial back, just
so we know?

That would risk arming it. Or maybe it
saves us. And who would like to take

chance?

There is one other way.

It's much riskier.

What's that?

Disconnecting the fire set.

They have a bank of capacitors that
store the electricity from the

They carry a charge that triggers an
explosive in the core.

Right, so if we disable those... Then we
should be good. But you have to be

extra careful.

The charge in those capacitors could
kill you.

What other choice do we have?

Over here.

It is the Russian plane, sirs.

Where's the rest of the plane?

It's got to be close, right?

If our guys were here, they can't be
far.

Yeah, but are they alone?

All right, men, fan out.

And stay alert.

Remember, doctor, don't touch the inner
housing or any of the conduit on the

floor. The charge could kill you.

Everything alright in there, Doc?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I think I did it.

It's 32.

You sure you have them all?

32 wires, yes.

I'm just counting again to be sure.

Hi, Nick. All good. I just need to check
one or two more things.

It should be good.

Thank God.

Well done, Doc.

At least you won't die in vain.

What are you doing?

That's like your partner said.

We're at war.

So, Dr. Hynek, thank you for your work.

But we no longer have use for either one
of you.

You don't want to do this?

I have no choice.

I'm sorry.

If Alexei and I make it back to your
plane, maybe we'll get home.

You're never gonna make it.

Well, you're still alive.

No.

Shoot now.

You risk setting this off.

Is that... The core.

Yes, I believe it is. What do you think?

Don't shoot.

Doc, what are you doing with that?

I don't know. Do you want it?

No, no, no. Doctor, doctor.

You'll be careful. Oh, well, maybe you
want it. No, don't do anything crazy. Do

you want it? No, no, no.

Here!

Are you insane?

If there were plutonium inside there, I
would say yes.

Which there isn't.

Should weigh about five times heavier
than that, yes?

That's because it's just the empty
casing.

There's nothing inside.

He's right. There's nothing in here.

How did you know?

You told me those capacitors had enough
charge in them to kill a man.

Yet when I slipped up a couple of times,
I didn't get so much as a static shock.

Then when I was finished, I saw the cap
that conceals the core, and I looked

inside. I see you just reached in and
grabbed it. Well, there was no way they

was going to leave that with us here.

And they don't need us anymore, so yes,
I did.

And when I picked it up, I knew.

Why did our government... They had us
believe that... The Kremlin wasn't

our air defense.

They were testing you.

They wanted to see how well you'd fare
when you thought you had a live nuclear

weapon on board.

The human element.

It's always the one variable you can't
control. That makes so much sense.

They're not going to be flying a live
nuke over here.

I guess no one wants World War III, huh?

I thought you were going to kill us back
there.

I thought so, too.

When I saw this thing flying through the
air, I thought, what is this cocky

American trying to do?

It's nice catching.

Doctor, thank you.

You're welcome.

Captain, you showed incredible bravery.

Thank you.

You were just about to kill us. Let's
not forget that.

Okay.

Okay.

What will you do with us? Not up to us
now.

See planes about a five -mile hike from
here, head back, radio in.

You know, Captain, if the four of us can
work together, surely we can persuade

our government to... Hands up!

When we get back, we're going to need a
full debrief from both

of you.

The scrub that's clean is going to take
a lot of work.

What is going to happen to the pilots?

I can imagine a few scenarios.

But honestly, we've never had to deal
with a situation this sensitive.

You know, I've got to commend you both.

What you did here was heroic.

We just came up here to do our jobs,
sir. Which makes the work you do more

important than ever.

We need you on the field.

Both of you.

Yes, sir.

Generals, can you give for a moment?

We'll see you back at the base.

So they never found the rest of the
plane.

I'm sure they will.

I doubt they'll let us take a look at
it, though.

You still think that unidentified craft
had something to do with what happened

here?

Maybe.

Maybe it wasn't the Russians that
removed the plutonium.

Certainly poses some interesting
questions.

Demands further investigation.

Well, I guess that means we're back in
business.

I guess we are, Professor.

Some things never change.

What's that?

I decided to get in early. You still
find a way to beat me in. Well, I heard

got a few calls while we were gone.

Priest in Akron saw an object hovering
above his church after mass.

Wanted to pre -interview him on the
phone.

Yeah, look at this. Missouri, Texas,
Maryland.

Never a dull day, huh?

Need anything?

Just some coffee. That'd be great.
Thanks, babe.

Excuse me, can I help you?

Uh, yes. The senator's here from Project
Blue Book. Are they in?

Senator?

Oh, yes.

Senator Kennedy.

Morning, miss.

Are they, uh, in there? Inside.

Yes. Um, just... Hey.

Meet somebody who's been... Gentlemen,
Senator Kennedy is here to see you.

I'll be calling you right back. He'll be
calling you back in ten minutes.

Project Blue Book. Sorry for the
unexpected visit. It's urgent.

Senator. Senator.

What can we do for you?

Could you give us some privacy, please?

Whatever you're working on, I need you
to put it down. We have a situation

developing in the North Atlantic. What
kind of situation?

The crew on a Navy destroyer spotted a
triangle -shaped craft trailing their

fleet.

And you'd like for us to investigate,
sir?

I didn't finish.

The craft they saw didn't come from the
sky.

It came out of the water.
