All language subtitles for Big Sky s01e02 Navstar

What do you want?

Stacey, call the police. I'm being
robbed.

I know.

I asked them to.

Why?

You slept with Rhonda.

Oh.

Oh. Is that all you can say?

Oh. Sorry?

Sorry.

That's just not good enough.

My relationship with Rhonda Jacoby.

She's at least three inches taller than
you.

It was a spur -of -the -moment thing.

Oh, right. Well, this is a spur -of -the
-moment thing, too, OK?

Meet my cousins, Bruno and Ralph.

They're just here to help us sort a few
things out.

Like the money you owe me.

Do I owe you money? Yes, you owe me
money.

You're not seriously going to say that
you don't remember.

Oh,

Jimbo, you never think of anything but
yourself.

Do you? I wouldn't go quite that far.

What are

you

doing?

Refreshing your memory.

She's not taking this as well as I
thought.

During our relationship, I bought or
paid for the following items.

Typical fish, $327.

Fish tank, $609.

Fish tank delivery, $49 .50.

Fish food, $11 .95.

Having the fish tank removed when you
forgot to feed the fish, $30.

Starting to remember.

Cooking class, $375.

Golf retreat, $1 ,200.

Golf club member changing my kitchen
after your chicken, $200.

Glass company for the new window, $200.
Okay, okay, I get the point. That brings

the grand total to a tidy sum of $4
,500.

That's a lot of money.

I've got all the receipts.

You kept the receipts?

Now, this is the part you should really
listen to.

Are you listening?

You have my full and undivided
attention.

You have until lunchtime today to pay
up.

Now, I don't mean your usual roll out of
bed at four in the afternoon and have a

bowl of cereal lunch. I mean mine.

1pm sharp at Big Sky.

Is that clear?

Crystal, it's funny I thought we might
be able to stay friends.

Excuse me.

Jimbo, where have you been?

Somebody threw me off a bridge. Oh, how
inconvenient.

It's true. I believe you. I don't know
why, but I do. The point is he missed

your double charter.

Sorry. You were sorry yesterday with
that taxi problem. You were sorry on

Tuesday when you locked yourself in the
bathroom.

You were sorry last week when... What
was it? My grandfather died.

I thought it was your grandmother.

Oh, no, grandfather.

Jimbo, look, I can't keep asking people
to cover for you all the time.

You're getting too selfish.

I'm serious.

Yeah, okay. I'm sorry.

Chris, can I have the word?

Sure.

Any chance that you could loan us four
and a half thousand bucks?

Fair.

Scotty, mate, can I have a word? Excuse
me.

Yeah. Mate, um...

You couldn't lend us four or five
thousand bucks, could you?

Good one.

I'm not joking.

Why does everyone think I'm joking?

Because you never pay back what you
borrow.

Don't I?

Hey, look, if it'll help, I've got a hot
tip for a sure thing at Ramwick.

Great. Do you reckon you could lend us
ten bucks?

Sorry, mate, I'm broke. I've hunted a
lot.

Lauren, I need to talk to you.

Sure, come in.

I need an advance on my pay.

You're not serious.

I am.

I've got a big problem.

I can't believe this. After our
conversation in here earlier, an advance

what?

From what I can see, you don't do any
work around here.

Is that a no?

Of course it's a no.

Barney never said no.

That's all I ever hear. Barney this,
Barney that.

Jimbo, as I'm sure you can see, I am not
Barney.

Yeah, well, Barney never looked any good
in green.

Look, could you just make this one
exception? It's really important to me.

Please. No. No more advances.

Those days are gone.

I said you look good in green.

The door's open.

Look, if you could just see it from my
perspective. I mean, I know that the

money doesn't mean much to you, but,
like, to me, it's... Jimbo.

It's... Janet.

Give it a rest.

Do you mind? I was having a
conversation.

Well, I could see you getting pissed
off, so I thought I'd get rid of him for

you. And you don't think I could have
done that?

They're going to have to learn to
respect my authority or I'm going to get

nowhere here.

OK.

Look, I'm not saying I don't need your
help.

Yes, you are.

That's exactly what you think.

No, I just... It doesn't matter.

Chris Dyer, call for you.

Shay, we're in a meeting. Can it wait?

Oh, it's urgent. SAR on line two.

Chris Manning.

Yeah, OK.

Calling from the air.

What's SAR?

Search and rescue.

We were thinking you're on off the head.
John Sandy, you take the slipstream.

Lexi, you call the manager.

So he does the chat as if we were on a
search for whiskey.

Lauren, this is the priority.

How often does this happen?

Often enough.

It's ridiculous.

Here you go. Thanks anyway.

Yeah!

How much did you have on?

I didn't have anything to put on it.

That's unfortunate.

Marty, Jimbo, you've got a search.

Charlie Tango Delta to Tango Whiskey
Sierra.

Charlie Tango Delta, having any luck?

None, how about you?

Nada. We're pretty close to the cape.

Does this feel right to you?

What do you mean?

I don't know. I reckon they've got their
coordinates wrong or something.

I'll tell you what.

I'll do one more path along the second
quadrant if you take the first tracking

bow. You got it. Charlie Tango Delta.

Tango Whiskey Sierra, this is Charlie
Tango Delta.

Go ahead, Charlie Tango.

Lexi, is there any chance you could loan
me a lazy $5 ,000?

That's negative, Charlie Tango. I'm into
the payment.

Just wondering, Charlie Tango Delta.

Search aircraft sport code 4019. This is
SAR control.

We regret that the distress call was a
hoax. There is no sinking yacht. Repeat,

no yacht in distress.

The search is called off as at 1148
hours.

Thank you for your time.

S -A -R -L.

Look, I'm surprised.

Wait for time.

I can't believe it. They're early.

Mate! Can you take my COVID job and I'll
do your narrow run? It's really

important. Let's go. Thanks.

Can I help you?

Out of the way, pal.

I don't think so.

Look, your friend knows money and it's
time to pay off. So how about you get

of the way?

I'll tell you what I'll do.

How about I get the airport cops and a
few of those big blokes over there?

You just make sure he knows we'll get
him sooner or later.

How long did that take?

About 12 weeks.

That's ridiculous.

Who set up this system?

You mean every time there's one of these
SARs, we just cancel charters, send

people home and wait three months to be
paid?

That's about the size of it.

What if it wasn't a hoax?

What do you want to do, just ignore
distress calls?

No, I'm not suggesting that. I'm just
saying that there should be a compromise

or something.

Did we volunteer for this thing or...?
No, we drew the short straw.

Oh, that'd be right. This is just so
chaotic.

Lauren, this is an aviation company.
It's not an exact science.

You can't plan.

For everything.

It's big. Keep an eye out, and we
promise you, you bring us part of the

spacecraft, and you'll get $100 ,000
cash.

What would you like to hear?

Ah, what have you got? Oh, so much
stuff.

Everything's like so 80s.

I always stand here staring and I never
choose anything.

Have you heard about this?

NASA has confirmed that NAVSTAR 3, a
military satellite from the Cold War

will lose orbit and crash somewhere in
the southwest Pacific today.

Excite AM are giving away $100 ,000 to
the first person to bring a chunk of

satellite records to the office by
tonight.

That'll be so cool to win.

Thanks, Guy. This is Tango Whiskey
Sierra.

I'm putting down immediately and we'll
be out of radio contact for a short

while.

How are we gonna land this crate?

Mind you.

Why don't I fly you back with it? We
could split the prize money 50 -50.

I can drive there by tonight.

Why would I split it?

Good point.

To which I say two words, comfort and
speed.

My plane is both comfortable and speedy,
making your trip to the city a very

pleasurable experience. Get lost.

Okay, sure. It doesn't have to be 50
-50. No, that's right. It doesn't have

be anything. Okay, how does 60 -40
strike you? How about I strike you?

-30? Look, what about 100 -nothing, pal?

Forget it.

I don't need you.

See you later.

If you start walking now, you should
make the city why about.

August?

Hang on.

Wait a second.

Look, maybe you're right.

Maybe comfort and speed are important.

I tell you what, if you fly me and me
cylinder back to the city...

Yeah, all right, 70 -30, no worries.

70 -30.

All

right!

Hi,

guys.

No -one's playing any music.

I'm bored to tears with that stuff.

I've got a good idea.

Why don't we get rid of the thing?

Get rid of it?

What, altogether?

What is it? What's the problem?

It's part of the family. It was born
here.

Oh, look at it. It was born before I
was.

Chris, it's a piece of machinery no one
ever uses.

I'm suggesting a whole new range of
music. Big speakers, the lot.

Well? Comfort and speed, my friend.
Comfort and speed.

What was that?

Don't worry about it.

Chris?

Hmm?

The jukebox, what's the big deal?

No one ever uses it. Lexi hates all the
songs on it. There's nothing after 1983.

It just seems to sit there in the corner
flashing.

Have you got a favourite song?

What's that got to do with it?

I bet I could play you a song.

One song.

And you'd change your mind.

You're just changing the subject. Do
they want new music or not?

Oh, Duke's not about music.

Duke's about song.

What's the difference?

Well, music's on the radio.

You play music at home.

You don't hear it.

But with a juke, you put a buck in the
slot, and then you wait, and then you

hear your song.

Am I missing something?

Obviously.

Tango Whiskey Zero, this is Big Sky
Base.

Jimbo, what are you up to?

Shay, I found the Napstart satellite,
the one with the 100 grand reward.

Oh my God, Julie, are you serious?

Lauren! Lauren!

Guess what?

Jimbo found the satellite! He's going to
win his brilliant!

You're kidding, I don't believe it.

This is so exciting, what does it look
like?

Jimbo, this is Lauren.

This isn't one of your scams, is it? No,
honest, it landed in my lap. I've got

it right here.

And the bloke who helped me find it.
That's amazing! Amazing, $100 ,000. I

need to pay you anymore.

Oh, you wish. Could you ring the radio
station and let them know I'm on my way?

Yeah, I'll call them.

Congratulations.

How did they do it? I don't know.

So, after I pay Stacey back, I'm either
going to restore the triumph or get one

of those new BMW convertibles.

You know, the one in the new James Bond
film?

Ah, stuff it, I'll get the bimmer.

I reckon Pierce Brosnan's a much better
James Bond than that Timothy Dalton

wanker, don't you?

I wouldn't know, mate.

Hey, if you're upset about the deal, you
shouldn't be. 70 -30's pretty good. I

mean, you weren't even going to cut me
in.

Yeah.

What?

I don't know.

Oh, what?

Well, me crop got swept away in the
floods last year.

Lost everything.

I was going to use the money to buy me
property back from the bank.

Well, they took it.

Well, you don't know the half of it,
mate.

Oh, well, the 30K will help, won't it?

Yeah.

What's the problem?

No, no.

No, what?

We could try either, mate.

I'd say have a look at the wreck and
hold on to our deck.

Still bloody hot.

Yep, he's got the wreckage on board now.

I don't know. He just said it was a
piece of wreckage.

It's what?

Who said?

Where did you get this information?

Yeah.

Yes, I do.

Thank you.

Can you go and find Chris and tell him I
need a minute quickly?

Thanks.

Tango Whiskey Sierra, this is Big Sky
Bates.

This is Tango Whiskey Sierra. Go ahead,
Big Sky.

Jimbo, I just spoke to Exide AM.

Oh, great. So where do we take it?

Nowhere. Apparently it could be really
dangerous.

Excuse me?

Whereabouts is it in the plane?

Apparently the US Embassy heard about
the contest and they've issued a

saying that the Navstar wreckage should
not be approached under any

circumstances.

Approached? What did they say? How
dangerous?

No, no details.

Ask her about the money. Do we still get
our prize money?

I'm going to call the US Consulate and
I'll get back to you as soon as I know

more, OK?

Thank you, Big Sky.

How

do you do?

Chris, this is my chief pilot, Chris
Manning.

What's going on?

Uh, Jimbo's in the chieftain with a
piece of that crashed satellite.

it's dangerous.

Well, it might not be. Let me just have
a talk to you boys and we'll see what we

got here.

Now, what's the call sign?

Uh, Tango Whiskey Sierra.

Yeah, what's the pilot's name?

Jimbo James.

What's he like?

Is he reliable or is he likely to panic?

Uh, he's not reliable.

He's unlikely to panic.

Okay, Tango Whiskey Sierra. There's this
big guy by the name of Mark Johansson

from the U .S.

Consulate. Do you read me there, Jimbo?

This is Tango Whiskey Sierra, Big Sky.
What the hell's going on?

Well, that's what I want to find out.
Now, I need you to describe to me

what it is you have on board there.

Well, it's a black cylinder, a bit
bigger than a footy.

I couldn't tell you what it's made of. I
don't know, some kind of metal. It's

got wires running down it and a sort of
electrical thingy at one end.

It looks alright.

It doesn't appear to be cracked.

Good.

That's got to be bad.

Actually, there's a crack running down
it and there's a sort of liquid glooping

out. How much has leaked out?

I don't know. About a schooner's worth?

What schooner?

Fifteen ounces.

Have you had any contact with the
liquid?

No.

Why? What is it?

Don't worry. Just don't touch it right
now. I need you to talk just for a

minute. What's the length ETA here?

Fifteen minutes.

Well, that's all the time we've got. I
need him on the ground for sure by then.

There's no guarantee with traffic.

Not unless we arrange a priority landing
clearance.

Good. Let's do it.

Well, they're not going to retract
jumbos unless there's a real big reason.

Like what?

Like a crisis on the aircraft.

Life and death situation.

Well, you tell them we got both.

How about you tell me first?

I will.

Just get me that priority landing.

You tell them whatever you want, but we
need an on -the -ground ASAP.

I appreciate it. Is this an outside lab?

Oh, yes, it is.

Yeah, it's me. I'm at the Big Sky base.

Looks like their guy's got the power
mod.

I need you to call the NEC and tell them
it's code G.

We've got a priority landing clearance
on runway one -sixth left.

Good.

Tango Whiskey Sierra, this is Big Sky.

We're going to proceed to mascot. We
have a priority landing clearance on

one -sixth left.

Priority? Chris, what the hell's going
on?

I'll let you know, Jimbo.

Big Sky out.

Okay, Mr. Johansson.

It's your turn.

Let's just say I'd rather be here than
in that plane.

Well, let's hear it. Big Sky, this is
the Tango Whiskey Sierra.

Why do we have priority?

If there's a problem, we can chuck this
thing out. What?

No way.

You don't have priority unless there's a
big problem. Do you want that thing to

go off? What do you mean go off? What is
it?

Chris, can we have the exact reason for
the priority?

Tango Whiskey, Sierra, there is no
emergency. Repeat, no emergency. It's

caution. The, uh, the cylinder you have
on board there contains a delicate

scientific experiment, and the, uh, the
last liquid from the cylinder has put it

in jeopardy, so we want to get it down
here just as quickly as possible.

Thank you, Big Sky.

It's leaking.

Oh, you're kidding. How much?

15, 20 ounces.

Damn.

20 ounces an hour, 12, 15 minutes, baby.

Good. The plane's ETA is six minutes.
They should be well and truly on the

ground. We're home free.

What's wrong?

You don't want to know.

Big Sky Base, this is Tango with
Gutierrez. Chris, I've got a slight

The front landing gear won't lock into
place.

Oh, I knew it. You wrecked it when we
took off.

Oh, no, whack that light. That'll fix
it. Shut up.

Chris, yeah, confirming that.

The front landing gear will not lock
into place.

I go with you, Sierra. This is Big Sky.
Stand by.

Your move.

Tell him to abort the landing.

You're kidding.

You said you wanted him down as soon as
possible.

Tell him.

Well, I'm not going to tell him unless
I've got a good reason.

Want to take your pilot?

I'm not playing games here.

Jimbo, this is Chris.

Abort and go around.

Chris, you're kidding. I can land this
thing with or without the landing gear.

You know that.

Thank you, Whiskey Sierra. This is Big
Sky.

I repeat, go around for now. I'll get
back to you.

Chris, what the hell's going on? I'm
going to have to land this thing soon

anyway. It's going to be dry as a
martini.

You heard him. No, it's too risky.

Too risky?

Their lives are more important than your
cylinder.

No, they're not.

Now, under no circumstances can he land
that aircraft.

This doesn't make sense. You said it
wasn't an emergency.

Now, you can't have it both ways.

Lauren Allen?

Yeah. Len Greif from Foreign Affairs.

How do you do?

Hi. This is... Yeah, yeah.

We're already acquainted, thanks.

We liaise on matters of mutual interest.

Or we're supposed to, aren't we, guys?

Sometimes the wires get a bit crossed.

Well, the wires have got a little
crossed now.

Do you have any authority in this?

Yes, I do.

Then I would like some information about
what's happening.

We've got a pilot who's apparently in
danger and all we're getting is the

runaround in an American accent.

Now either someone comes clean or I
start making phone calls.

The Navstar 3 was a nuclear -powered
satellite.

Its power mod cylinder contained two
rods of thorium -90, a highly

metal. If your plane crashes, the rods
might shatter, sending radioactive

shrapnel everywhere.

Suburbs and miles around would have to
be evacuated.

You're saying a nuclear explosion?

No, no, no. A conventional explosion,
but...

A big one.

It's the spreading of radioactive debris
is the problem.

You see, our American cousins don't want
to be responsible for contaminating

half the city.

Jimbo, this is Chris.

That thing you've got on board is
radioactive.

Radioactive?

Look, I've changed my mind, mate. You
can have that.

What do you expect me to do, fly around
like glow -in -the -dark? Chris, I can

still land this thing. No, he must...
Abort the landing.

Can I talk to you?

Listen, mate.

This is Len Crichton, Foreign Affairs.

Now, you must do as you're told.

If you don't do as directed, you're in
serious breach of aviation regulations.

You want to arrest me? No, as soon as
I'm safely on the ground.

If he tries to land that thing, I
promise you, he'll lose his license and

company's in trouble.

I'm dead serious.

Big Sky, this is Tango Whiskey Sierra.
I'm on my final landing approach.

Sorry, Chris, I just thought I'd let you
know.

Good on you, mate.

Jimbo, this is Chris.

If you land that aircraft and anything
goes wrong, we could have radio activity

spread all through the suburbs.

You can't tell me to do this, Chris. I
can land it. You know that.

I'm not telling you anything, Jimbo.

I'm asking you.

There's a big difference.

Hey, what are you doing?

Okay, Chris, no landing, you win. What
now?

Tango Whiskey Theory, this is Big Sky.

Stand by.

Okay, gentlemen, the ball's in your
court.

Okay, we're going to need the optimum
coordinates for ditch.

Ditch? You're not ditching my plane.

Sorry.

No, excuse me.

If you make the decision to ditch that
plane, then you take the responsibility.

I see no reason why we should...

Right. The coordinates.

You can make it adjust off the Tasman
shelf.

So you're going to knowingly dump
radioactive material into the ocean?

That's exactly what we did with the
Apollo 13 lunar module after the on

explosion. It had the same power
supplies as the NASA door.

Dropped us a couple of hundred miles off
the coast to New Zealand, a long way

from those astronauts.

I never even heard that happen.

Then we did a good job.

What about Jim Mooney's, mate?

You got an aircraft carrier for them?

That's where it's going.

Hey, Moore, that liquid's leaked out.

You're right.

Um, Chris, if I was to tell you about,
um, another schooner's worth of that

liquid's leaked out, what would those
blokes say?

Forty ounces of cooler.

Big Sky, this is Tango Whiskey Sierra.
Chris, come on, mate.

Come on, what am I going to tell them?

Care to guess?

We've got five minutes, maybe less,
before that quarter goes hot.

And we can presume what hot means.

That's cool. That's cool. Oh, he's
critical and that plane will go sky

These men are expandable.

Am I right?

Jim,

this is Chris.

Track directly eastbound.

Then ditch the plane off the coast. That
thing's going to blow up in five

minutes. Explode? Why didn't you tell us
before?

Tell us. Right, that's it. It's out of
here. We're going to chuck it out.

Get the emergency door out.

Don't touch it. Or the liquid.

That'll increase your chances of being
contaminated a hundredfold.

Okay, Jimbo, we're on our own here.

This is what we're going to do.

Jimbo's a dead man.

That Senator thing is going to go
critical in four minutes.

What do you mean, go critical?

Or something.

Well, uh, set the coordinates.

The plane is on autopilot. What now?

Now you're going to parachute out.

What? No way!

Lexi says there should be four
parachutes in the luggage compartment at

of the plane.

Remember, have a look in the compartment
for parachutes. If you don't find any,

don't tell me.

All right, if you ever get me out of
this, I promise I'll be a better bloke.

I'll spend more time with Anna and
Barry.

I thought you said you lost Anna and
Barry in the flood.

I'll stop lying all the time.

There's no parachute.

You'll keep looking.

We're not really going to jump, are we?
Well, you got a better idea?

I've never done it before.

Just shut up and keep looking.

Jimbo, you've got two minutes to ditch
that aircraft.

Look, I've got to tell you something.

Drop one of those on.

It's important.

What are you doing? I'm trying to set
the autopilot so we can jump out of this

plane and it won't follow us down.

What?

Thank you.

Get out of there. I repeat, get out of
there, Jimbo. I can't do it.

You have to. The plane's about to blow
up. I'm scared of heights.

It's not that high.

That's what I was trying to tell you
before.

Well, I'm scared of explosions, so you'd
better get over it.

Jimbo, you can lessen them in.

Oh, this has been a shocker of a day.

Okay, two words.

Comfort and speed.

It'll be a lot more comfortable if we're
down on the ground when this thing

blows up. And the speediest way to get
there is to jump.

Who are you guys?

NAC. What's that?

The Nuclear Energy Corporation.

Well, where are you taking it? Speak to
the director later.

It's still reading hard. Better go
again.

I've been thinking you can have your
advance.

Four and a half thousand dollars.

Thanks. But it's the last time.

Okay.

Oh, you couldn't make it 5 ,120, could
you? So I can pay them all back.

I found out there's a few others.

Okay, but that's it.

What's the prognosis?

When do you find out if you're...
Contaminated.

Apparently not till next week.

If there's anything I can do, you just
let me know.

I'd better go. I've got some work to do
back at the bank.

50 -50.

What about 100? Nothing.

You see?

That's the soul.

One.
