Original subtitles

Oh.

It was a success.

Alpha

Centauri series that Shepherd.

It's just a party.

And he asked me.

It's really nice that you made me.

You guys are getting some good work

done over here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sounds like it.

What's the bright one?

Mizar.

It's a double star.

Good.

The one next to it.

Alcor.

Good. Biederman.

And the one next to that.

I don't know.

It's McGrath's.

I don't think so.

You just said you didn't know.

Well, it's not McGrath. It's.

It's something else.

Look.

It's south,

about ten degrees.

That's probably a satellite.

Let's, take another picture.

We'll send it to Doctor Wilson.

Yes, sir.

It's McGrath, not McGrath.

It is?

It's not.

It is

the time

when we put in the hold at night.

I can't believe I almost got it.

I'm almost there.

Houston.

He's looking real strong.

Okay, Pete,

you got that

coupling on the board here now.

We'll give you the

go ahead from down here.

When it's in a line.

Sounds good.

Give me 10s.

His heart rate's racing.

Hey, Pete, it's Truman. Hey.

How you doing up there, hoss?

Pretty good. Now, listen, Pete.

We got an eye on your meds here.

I gave you a buffalo nickel.

I feel calm down just a little bit.

He did it for me.

Whatever you say.

Okay.

Now we got plenty of time, buddy,

so don't you worry.

Identification number one.

Looking good here.

You better go ahead and find us.

Roger that.

Used to suggest

we start reeling Pete in.

Robert.

Wait.

What

the hell was that? My lord.

Oh!

We're down.

We must all contain.

Storm.

What do I take back?

Oh,

you got.

This.

This is flight director.

I want to get that Hubble moving.

And I want it now. I'll do that.

Remember to have Hubble.

This enormous.

Why don't we just send up

150 nuclear warheads

and blast that rock apart?

Terrible idea.

Was I talking to you?

This is Doctor

Ronald Quincey from research.

Pretty much

the smartest man on the planet.

You might want to listen to him.

General, if you consider the atomic,

composition of dimensions,

share velocity,

you could fire every nuke

you've got in there,

and you just smile at

you and keep on coming.

You should know that the president's

scientific advisers

are suggesting

that a nuclear blast

could change this

asteroid's trajectory.

I know the president's

chief scientific adviser.

We were at MIT together.

And in a situation like this, you

really don't take the advice

from a C-minus astrophysics.

The president's advisors are, wrong.

I'm right.

Hitting the rock from the outside

will do the job.

Imagine a firecracker

in the palm of your hand.

Set it off. What happens?

Burn your hand. Right.

Close your fist

around the same firecracker

and send it off.

Your wife's going to be opening

a ketchup bottle.

The rest of your life.

Are you suggesting that

we blow this thing up from the inside?

Exactly what I'm saying.

How

we drill.

We bring in the world's

best deep core driller.

Hell, we get up here, we're digging it.

Good idea.

You better go.

You know, it might not go right now.

I can't turn on the gas bucket.

I told you.

Am I looking for my dissertation?

I shut it down for a reason,

you jackass. Released the final.

Nobel prize.

Get the guys out of here now!

Head!

Back down!

Just sit down now.

Go!

Get the.

Three dozen research calls,

and every time

the same man is recommended.

He's worked on every terrain

this planet can offer.

Whatever they said, it

couldn't be drilled.

This got drilled in my yard.

We struck off, major.

Somebody could kill that thing.

You want that on your conscience?

I hope you are, man.

Harry.

I'm sorry.

I fired.

Who's Harry Stamper?

Yeah, I'm Harry Stamper.

It's all it's about.

There's a stamp from gentleman

gunnery commander of the Air Forces.

I've been sent here

by the Secretary of Defense

on direct orders

from the president

of the United States.

The matter of urgent national security.

I need you to get on that chopper

right now.

No questions asked.

Crazy Willie put you up to this, right?

I don't know, crazy, will it, sir?

I get serious about this.

All right.

What?

And I swear to God,

she never told me her age.

All right. Relax.

It's about me.

Got it.

All right, general, I'll go with you.

One condition.

We to take my daughter along.

What did I do?

We got to let her stay right here.

Look at the ball.

Take you.

Get him off the rig.

Mr.

Stamper?

Yeah, I'm Harry Stamper.

You know Miss Stamper.

I'm Dan Truman, executive director,

here to listen on behalf of all of us.

I'd really like to apologize.

I don't know if we can take any more

apologies, Mr. Truman.

We've been apologized to

for the last 18.5 hours.

So, if you don't mind.

How about if we just get on with.

And you tell us why we're here

at the NASA's Space Center?

We should probably talk alone.

Mr.

Truman, I don't keep any secrets

from my daughter, Grace.

So whether you tell her now

or I tell her later,

she's going to find out

one way or the other.

So why don't we just get on with it?

So when the rogue comet hit

the asteroid belt,

sent shrapnel right for us.

Even if the asteroid itself

hits the water, it's

still hitting land.

It'll flash

boil millions of gallons

of seawater and slam

into the ocean bedrock.

Now, if it's a Pacific Ocean impact,

which we think it will be,

it'll create a tidal

wave three miles high,

travel at a thousand miles

an hour,

covering California

and washing up in Denver.

Japan's gone.

Australia's wiped out.

Half the world's

population will be incinerated

by the heat blast,

and the rest will freeze

to death from nuclear winter.

Exactly.

Well, actually, this is as real

as it gets.

Well, it's coming right now,

right? For us.

22,000 miles an hour.

Not a soul on earth can hide from it.

We need you to prep the team

we're sending up.

Up. We'll send them to the asteroid.

They'll land. They'll drill a hole.

They'll drop some nukes,

take off and detonate.

If we can fix this equipment problem.

Know the dwelling units?

A prototype

we've been building

for the Mars project.

You

might recognize the rig,

and.

Well, I guess I should recognize it.

My design

for judo steel.

A key to the patent office.

Yeah, basically.

Let me get this straight.

I got pulled off an oil

rig flown halfway around the world.

Because you stole my drill design.

Couldn't read the plans, right?

And did a piss poor job

of putting it together.

Look, technically, Pat,

instead of talking about us.

Shut up. Quincy.

It's not going to Mars anymore.

I'm just going to try

to save this planet.

And we need to know

what's wrong with it. Pretty quick.

You said we did a bad job

of putting it together.

No, I said you did a piss poor job

of putting it together.

First of all,

you got the slow system all reversed.

Let me guess.

You've been tearing up rotors

and you can't figure out why.

Yeah. That's right.

Well, that's

because your cans are all wrong, Mr.

Wizard, who's been operating this thing

right there?

We've actually.

We've had

some training for eight months.

Solid now, eight months?

Well, pretty much.

Gee whiz.

Well, this is the team

that has to do the job up there.

We need you to train them down here.

Well, Mr. Stamper, what do you think?

You know drones, science.

It's an art.

Third generation driller.

Doing it all my life.

And I still haven't got it

all figured out.

I assume you sent for me

because somebody told you

I was the best.

Well, I'm only the best

because I work with the best.

You don't trust the men

you're working with.

You're as good as dead.

You want to send these boys into space?

Fine.

I'm sure they'll make good astronauts.

They don't know Jack about drilling.

What's your contingency plan?

Contingency plan?

Your backup plan.

You got to have some kind of backup

plan, right?

No, we don't have a backup plan.

And this is the best that you could.

That the government, the U.S.

government can come up with.

I mean, you're NASA,

for crying out loud.

You put a man on the moon.

You're geniuses.

You're you're.

The guys are thinking. Shut up.

I'm sure you got a team of men

sitting around somewhere right now

just thinking. Shut up.

And somebody backing them up.

You telling me you have a backup plan

at these eight Boy Scouts right here?

That is the world's hope.

That's what you're telling me?

Yeah.

Oh, Jesus.

Damn it!

We're a little short on time here.

Will you help us?

All they got to do is drill.

That's it.

No spacewalking,

no crazy astronaut stuff.

Just drill.

How many men were you planning

on taking up there?

We're sending up two shuttles.

Two teams.

I do this,

I'm going to want to take my own men.

You got it.

So you're saying you'll help us?

Yes, sir.

Thanks.

I just don't trust anybody else

to do it.

That's what.

For

every one.

What's up?

The National Front and all on Uranus.

Man.

No, no, we have to go.

We can all just sit here on Earth,

wait for this big

rock to crash into it,

kill everything and everybody we know.

The United States government

just asked us to save the world.

Anybody want to say no?

20 years.

They haven't turned you down once,

but start now.

Let me guess.

I can't let you go up there alone.

I'm with you.

And this is.

This is historic.

Guys, this is like, deep blue

hero stuff.

Of course I'm in.

While I don't share his enthusiasm.

You know me.

Beam me up, Scotty.

You all right, Max?

I don't.

I don't.

Whatever you think.

What about you?

Come on.

All right.

We go.

I don't mean to be

the materialistic weasel

of this group, but

you think we'll get hazard

pay out of this?

If you're trying to make me feel better

about this scenario, give it up.

To tell you the truth,

I'm kind of encouraged.

This guy

chick here was an Air Force

commando for six years.

We got robbery, assault, arrest,

resisting arrest.

We got a collection agent for the mob.

Two of these guys have done

serious time.

Look, they're the best at what they do.

So am I. And I'm not so optimistic.

We spend $250 billion

a year on defense. And here we are.

The fate of the planet

is in the hands of a bunch of retards

I wouldn't trust with a potato gun.

So what's the verdict?

They'll do it.

They've made a few requests, though.

Such as?

Is,

So few thinks you're.

Nothing really big and just.

Well, I'm an example of,

Oscar here has got some outstanding

parking tickets.

And once I'm wiped off his record

56 tickets in seven states,

I'll tell him. Oscar, you got it.

Okay,

Noonan's got two women friends

that he'd like to see

made American citizens,

no questions asked.

Max would like you to

bring back eight track tapes.

Not sure if that's going to work, but,

soon as, chick wants,

four weeks

and first package to Caesar's Palace.

Hey, you guys wouldn't

be able to tell us

who actually killed Kennedy, which.

Bear would like to stay at the

White Horse.

White house, white house, white house?

Yeah.

He'd like to stay

in the Lincoln Bedroom

of the white House for the summer.

Stuff like that.

Sure.

I think we can, take care of

some of that.

Harry.

Yeah.

One more thing.

None of them want to

pay taxes again.

Ever.

Visiting.

Look, you want to compare

brain patterns?

I want the Westinghouse prize

when I was 12.

Big deal.

Publish it. 19.

So what?

I got a double doctorate from MIT.

A 22 chemistry in geology.

I taught at Princeton

for two and a half years.

You know,

I think this might be

the most uncomfortable room

for the linen in my life.

Why do I do this?

Because the money's good.

The scenery changes,

and they let me use explosives. Okay.

Okay.

You want to be

all psychological with me? That's fine.

I'll tell you one thing

that really drives

me nuts

is people who think that Jethro Tull

is just a person in the band

who's trying to tell

a favorite.

Dishes. Haggis.

Heart, lungs, liver.

He shove that on a sheep stomach

and you boil it.

I don't put some hair on your ass.

I'm not crazy.

I'm just a little emotional

right now, okay?

Y'all throwing all this stuff

with me, man? What?

I mean, after this is over,

I'd like you to look for me

or something.

Okay. Cyclops.

Lady starting to bug me?

Can you handle it?

I mean, I can handle what I'm.

You know, I'm going to do.

I can handle that.

But I don't know

if I can handle this rude

woman with large breasts.

Woman with medium breasts.

Here's Harry giving me a hard time.

And, this is Harry

telling me it's not good enough.

And, this is Harry

telling me I can't marry his daughter.

Thanks a lot of this shit.

Just let it out. Good.

I suffered a major head injury

when I was in high school.

This one looks at you with breath.

Yeah, I can hear it.

Yeah, I can handle it.

Hockey from Kansas

won the World Series,

Say it.

Failed.

Impressively failed one.

Toxicology analysis revealed ketamine.

That is a very powerful sedative.

Sedatives you use all the time, doctor.

Well, this one's used on horses.

Some of these guys are pretty big.

And it would normally take 18 months

to psychologically prepare prescreened

viable subjects for space travel.

We have seen evidence of a wide variety

of territorial aggression.

Physically survived the trip.

That's all I need to know here. Okay.

Personally,

I don't know how they survived

the test.

Don't

talk about the wrong stuff.

Good morning.

I'm Colonel Willie Sharpe.

In addition

to flying one of the

71 teams to that rock,

my job is to train

you how to deal with the mental

and physical rigors of working in space

so you don't freak out on the asteroid.

What's next, 71?

You're the

first civilians to ever clear.

We call them the X 70.

Top secret joint venture

with the Air Force.

The two shuttles

going up for the freedom

and the independence

are titanium alloy.

Impenetrable skin covers

the toughest,

meanest, most sophisticated space

vehicle man has ever made.

The Air force

Colonel Davis,

NASA pilot

Tucker will command

the shuttle independence Air Force.

Colonel Sharpe,

NASA pilot watch

shuttle freedom

munitions

specialist Gruber

and Halsey

will supervise the nuclear ordnance.

Anyway,

I just thought of

thought you guys should meet.

Gentlemen, welcome to our weightless

environmental training facility.

So we're going

swimming on this asteroid.

Is that what this is for?

Here in downtown NASA,

we call this the monster armadillo.

And we retrofitted

with their drilling off

to turn 800 turbo

horses in zero gravity.

What if we take a look at it now?

All these rubber hose has got to go,

Mac, count them up.

I took some projector

racing.

Somebody tell me what this is.

Classic ice cream scoop.

Boy, that cost about $400.

This is about the science

group of people.

I've seen it all

my entire military career.

Your space flight

is going to be a brutal assault

on your senses.

I'm here to give you a taste of that.

NASA's got

some of the finest pilots in the world.

They're going to be sucking your eyes

into the back of your head.

Oh, easy on me. Okay.

My first up.

I just want to seriously

say I have a small fear of flying.

I'm going to twist you.

Oh,

and I'm going to flip you.

What do

wrap your body to your bones

when you squeal?

Just going to go faster and.

Ha! Take me down.

As the rest of the crew.

Well, as I left your red shirts

all over your desk for.

Don't forget, we got a trick.

All you had to say. Who would you say?

I don't know, Oscar.

Who do you think you are?

I'm solo. Yeah.

If anybody is anybody, I'm hot.

And you're. And you're Chewbacca.

Chewie, have you even seen Star

Wars?

I.

Neil Armstrong,

1969, bouncing on the moon.

He's bouncing

because there's less gravity

up there than on Earth.

This will be similar to the asteroid,

so watch it.

Something gets launched off

that asteroid with enough force.

It's going to keep on

going right into outer space.

What is the deal?

Is it just me, or is what's really hard

to.

So we have this new generation six

directional accelerated thrusters.

You won't bounce like Neil Armstrong.

Bear.

Yes.

Do we have a problem?

No.

Because I'm trying to describe to you

how these darts

keep your ass on the ground.

So that if I were to

kick you in the balls

and you don't know how to work them.

What happens to you?

I float away. Yeah.

And, when we start training for that.

Gentlemen,

I'll give you 30s

to put your helmets on,

and the oxygen will be sucked

out of this vacuum.

And you will know what

it's like to be in space. Go.

You press the learning center.

Stage maps have been activated

back into your sizable.

Jaws relating

to the recall of American troops

from abroad.

Tragedy struck today

as a charter

aircraft carrying an Army unit

returning from duty in Japan

crashed this morning into the waters

of the white House press office

as Secretary of the Treasury.

Rittenhouse's resigning

because his wife is sick.

So who passed Rittenhouse to Hamlin?

AfL-CIO wanted more off

the Council of Economic Advisers

for not supporting the pension bill.

And the president

is going to need labor next fall.

And states

still fuming about the trade

off his screw up at the

Pentagon is unhappy with his readiness

reduction proposals.

Greenspan dislikes him.

Christ, who didn't this guy piss off?

No wonder the wife's sick.

She's not sick. She's a drunk.

You're wrong.

How do you know that?

Mike Woodward over Treasury.

Mrs.

Rittenhouse started

drinking a couple of years ago

when her husband had

a series of affairs.

Stepped it up

last summer

after their son died of leukemia.

You want to do something on the price

that was paid?

What else?

My wife. Three kids.

He's been out to me for months,

so threw my breakfast

and hit him up about Rittenhouse.

Campbell's leaving.

So midnight Saturday.

Anchor ships opening up. Yeah.

Why would I want to give up

the white House

for a graveyard weekend?

Not for you. For me?

No.

That's, We'll talk about this later.

Very calm.

The president will be back from Camp

David tomorrow. Business news. IRA.

You know what

you need

to keep working on Rittenhouse.

Maybe Mike's available for dinner.

You know, do the usual research,

background information.

I'll think about it.

Okay. That's it.

I was with the secretary since he's

been governor of Connecticut.

Came to Washington with an.

I moved here because I was

dedicated to his career.

I trusted the man.

And then if I could,

he would.

Now, I didn't have sex with him.

I should say

I didn't have sex with him,

but somebody sure did.

It's about to come out.

So he resigned

because I was hired

from outside the government pool.

I don't get conveyed

to the next secretary.

So now I'm out of a job.

Because he could keep his hands off

women.

Do you have proof?

I think she was being so clever.

He had a private phone line

installed in his office.

Nobody else could answer it.

I picked it up once, said hello,

and it's nobody home.

It rings.

He shuts the door. Why not hang a sign?

The name.

This is what I get for talking

to the press.

I'm selling my soul right now.

I can feel it.

I can feel it.

I name and name

and get someone into trouble.

So you do have a name?

Just a first name.

Oh, my God. I'm going to say it.

Ellie.

Ellie.

Nothing else.

I think the president knows

about it, too.

I've heard the secretary

talking to him about her.

Something Washington's sick.

Hi.

How you doing?

Can I help you?

Well, actually, we're looking for

your mom. Is she around?

Well. I'm sick.

She's not here.

Gosh, I love you.

You going on a trip?

Yeah.

That's exciting.

Looks like a,

like a long trip,

So, listen,

do you know where you're going?

She's going back to the house.

Hey, if you want to stop that,

Lilly, please.

That's a pretty name.

Lilly.

There's a thing.

Come on.

Right there.

If we could just get

a minute of your time.

What do you want from me?

Well, we'd like to talk

about your resignation.

My wife is sick.

She's in the hospital.

That's why I resigned.

Everybody knows this.

Oh, we could joke about your wife.

Or we could just talk about Ellie.

Turn the camera off.

If you want to talk to me.

Turn it off.

We know everything.

Nobody knows everything

we know about the secret

phone lines,

whispered calls to the president and

about a secretary of the treasury

who's kept his entire department

in the dark

about what

he's really doing, about a cover story,

about his resignation

that just fell through.

I mean, sir, what

do you want me to go on?

And you're just going to break it?

Well, that's what we do for a living.

Well, congratulations.

You now have the biggest

story in history.

Good luck to you.

Personally, I think it's a mistake

to run the story, but,

hey, what the hell?

Why not?

What difference does anything

make anymore?

Look,

I know you're just a reporter,

but you used to be a person,

right?

I wanted to be

with my family.

Can you understand

that?

The Secretary of Treasury, Alan

Rittenhouse, resigns

because of a mistress named Ellie.

Biggest story in history.

What an ego.

Now, if it was the president.

Whoa whoa whoa. Okay.

The president has a mistress

named Ellie, and Rittenhouse pretends

that he's having the affair

and takes the fall and resigns.

And the president buys in my yacht.

Oh,

right.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Okay, okay.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

FBI.

Please, man, take care of me.

Just step back to the white car.

Get the car to.

Let's go.

Come this way, please.

Morton,

this is Lerner.

I'm expected back at MSNBC at six.

I think I should be there.

People know

about the Manhattan Project, you know.

And they kept it a secret.

That was just the creation of the atom

bomb.

As Lana.

Tom Beck,

I understand

you've come into some information

because Lerner was just expressing

her lack of enthusiasm

for matters of national security, where

journalistic competitiveness

is at stake.

Mr.

president, I'm not interested

in using Ellie to further my career.

What do you know about Ellie?

I know you should have

picked a better cover story than a

sick wife.

See what the day.

We'd always thought

the deadline for going

public

was the publication of the budget.

Since we've spent more money

than we can hide,

the budget comes out in two weeks.

I don't suppose

I could convince you

to sit on this for two weeks.

No such thing as two weeks

in the news business.

And I can't appeal to your sense

of what's in the nation's

best interest.

Well, I always thought the truth

was in the nation's best interest.

You won't hold it.

What if we go public in 48 hours?

That's doable, isn't it?

That would be very difficult.

Mr. president, modern.

If she knows.

How long can I be

before CNN or the post breaks

the story?

This was never going to be a secret

as long as you wanted it to be.

Give us two days.

Mr..

You'll get a second rule center

at the white House press conference.

Now, from what I know of your career,

that's a promotion.

I want exclusivity.

Now, listen, young lady.

This is a presidential favor.

I'm letting you go

because I don't want another headache.

And I'm trusting you

because I know

what this can do for your career.

It might seem that we have each other

over the same barrel, Mr.

Lerner, but it just seems that way.

I want the want.

May I?

May I have the first question?

Let's see.

You two is a misnomer.

Hey, at least I keep.

Paleontology as paleontology

have to do with anything.

Hey.

Hey, look who's working late.

Help! How's Rittenhouse gone?

No sign of the wife yet.

Is she missing?

No, we're still working on it.

We'll get there.

I know it's a dull story.

I promise you, next time, we'll

get you something more exciting.

Great.

Are you okay? Yeah.

Well, come to dinner with us.

I can't, I can't.

I got my plans.

Oh, okay.

Well, we'll see you tomorrow.

Okay, gentlemen.

So here's the flight plan.

Let's keep the laughter to a minimum.

Know this is not to scale.

Both shuttles will take off Tuesday

at 6:30 p.m..

67 minutes later,

you're going to dock

with the Russian space station

to meet cosmonaut

Andropov,

who will refuel the shuttles

with liquid O2.

That's your fuel.

Then you'll release

and take a 60 hour trip

toward the moon.

Now we only have one shot

of landing on this rock.

And that's precisely

when the asteroid passes by the moon.

You'll then use lunar gravity

and burn your thrusters, slingshot

and you around the moon,

coming up behind the asteroid.

You'll be upward of 11 GS.

Yeah, I remember this one.

It's where the, the coyote.

Saddam's ass down in a slingshot,

and he strapped himself

to an Acme rocket. Is that.

Is that what we're doing here?

Okay?

No, not really,

because it didn't work out too

well for the coyote area. I'm gonna go.

Actually,

we have a lot better

rockets in the coyote.

Now, when you finished

your roadrunner thrust, move,

you'll be moving at 22,500mph,

coming around behind the asteroid,

where we're hoping that the tail debris

will be cleared by the moon's gravity.

And you'll land right here. That's it.

We got separate

landing sites for each team.

Soft as parts of the rock.

As we can figure at NASA,

we don't take chances.

We double up on everything.

First team that hits 800ft wins.

Now, this rock is big.

It's dense. It's got some gravity.

You can walk around,

but use your thrusters

so you can work easier.

Okay, Mr.

Truman,

let's say that we actually do

land on this.

What's it going to be like up there?

200 degrees in sunlight.

-200.

In the shade

canyons of razor sharp rock.

Unpredictable gravitational conditions,

unexpected eruptions, things like that.

Okay,

so the scarce environment imaginable.

Thanks. That's all you got to say?

Scarce environment imaginable.

Okay, so you drill,

you drop the nuke and you leave.

Now, here's the key.

You're going to remote

detonate the bomb

before the asteroid passes this plane.

Zero barrier.

You do that,

and the remaining pieces of rock

should be deflected enough

to pass right by us.

Now, if the bomb explodes

after zero barrier.

The game's over.

What am I meant to have tomorrow

night off?

What do you mean, off?

I mean off out of here

for at least ten hours

and we'll go to cave.

Well, there's no possible way

we can do that.

Harry,

there's a potentially huge

security risk.

What if they talk?

What if they get hurt

if the two burn out

to do the right thing?

What if they get up there

and they forget

what they're fighting for?

You see what's going on up there?

Boys are ready to snap.

It has to be here.

They get pulled off the street.

For all we know, tomorrow night

could be the last night

they ever see Earth.

I don't think it's too much to ask them

to spend it with their families.

Well, listen, there's no pulse.

You got family, Colonel?

Two girls.

Would you like to spend tomorrow

night with your little girls?

I'm not asking you.

I'm telling you, make this happen.

Where?

This is a pretty big lawn.

Why don't you pick out the kids?

Not a hundred grand to me.

I'll give you this for 60%.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Because I'll bust your head

with a sledgehammer.

You'll get your money back.

You don't look too healthy.

You're not going to die on me, are you?

Let's just say no more than you want.

Thanks for.

Baby.

Do you think it's possible

that anyone else in the world is

doing this

very same thing at this very same

house?

Otherwise,

what the hell are we trying to say?

I don't want to close my eyes.

I don't want to fight sleep.

Cause I miss you, baby.

And I don't wanna miss a thing.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I was just passing by on.

I came.

To see.

That man's a salesman.

Would you go inside?

Thank you.

You get big.

Can't come around like this.

Court says you can't

confuse us, you know?

I know, I just.

I wanted to say.

And I'm sorry

about everything.

And.

I got something coming up.

Some kind of big.

You just might be proud of me.

Would you do some for me?

Would you just give him this?

You know, have we not tell him

who it's from?

Just.

Shut up.

Hey, Mac.

Coming in at 30,000 miles an hour.

Give me a projected impact.

East Asia, 11 minutes.

I just.

Tell me

you've never let him down before.

I never quit yet.

How's that?

Guess I'll have to do.

You know something?

I still remember the first, middle

and last name of every guy

that qualified

for the astronaut program.

First year I was here. Thanks.

I went into the engineering program.

Kind of had to.

Boy, I wanted to go up there.

I wanted to be one of those guys

with a mission patch on my arm.

I tell you,

I'd be on that shuttle with you

if I could.

You don't want to be

at the National anymore, neither.

Well, good luck in Florida tomorrow.

The death of 50,000 people in Shanghai

yesterday has rattled the nation.

A French satellite

has tracked an object in space.

Sources are estimating

that the tidal wave was five.

This is CNN Live in Florida.

We have just learned

that NASA is on a full scale

military alert.

You're calling this a global killer?

The government has been very tight

lipped throughout.

Pentagon is getting involved

at this point

with some kind of a project

involving NASA

and perhaps a shuttle mission.

Officials refused to comment.

Adding fuel

to the speculation that there could be

a very serious problem.

We have a special team of astronauts

that arrived in Florida this evening.

NASA's in emergency launch

preparation in cooperation

with Russian,

Japanese and French Space Agency,

some of the most massive joint

space venture in history.

But it seems to be likely.

Going on to swamp the white House

island nation.

So you think she might?

Come in.

She signed a release

because it just

was getting ready.

Well, what are you doing here?

Yeah.

Stewart sent

you here without telling me?

Now that's.

You know,

if Stewart

thinks that he can push me

out of the way, I feel right this way.

I could sit right down here.

With.

Excuse me.

All right.

Okay.

You'll find you for the first question,

then you're on your own.

Good.

Thanks. I owe you.

Yeah. Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen,

ladies and gentlemen, please.

The president will begin by addressing

the nation.

Please hold your questions

until he's finished his remarks.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the president of the United States.

Oh, everybody.

10s. Mr.

President.

Five, four.

Good evening.

A few minutes ago, the United States

ambassadors

to every country in the world

told the leaders of those nations

what I am about to tell you.

It's a bit complicated.

So it will take some time.

So I hope you will bear with me.

Hear what I have to say.

A little over a year ago,

two American astronomers, Marcus Wolfe

and Leo Biederman,

working on a mountaintop in Arizona.

Shh.

Nobody's saying anything that

caused them great concern.

Comment.

But the comet was.

Well, there was a remote possibility

that the comet was on a path

that could bring it into direct

contact with the Earth.

Now we get hit all the time

by rocks and meteors,

some of them the size of cars.

I'm no bigger than your hand.

But the comet we discovered

is the size of New York City.

From the north side of Central Park

to the Battery, about seven miles long.

Put another way,

this comet is larger than Mount Everest

and weighs 500 billion tons.

All this from astrophysics

geologists and climatologists.

Where the hell is flat?

Okay. I said

I wanted

the Hale-Bopp stand ups and graphics.

My neat graphics.

Comets could get far out of space.

Yeah.

What's left over from the creation

of the solar system

after the planets performed

billions of years ago?

Are these chunks of space debris

or when

any long been walking around the sun?

But every now and then,

one of them gets blocked.

Or like a billiard ball on a pool table

and is knocked into a different orbit.

Now, if this comet

continues on its path around

the sun and keeps its present course

sometime on August 16th,

there's a chance that

we might have impact.

So right now, a team of

American astronauts

and one

Russian are at Cape

Canaveral in Florida.

This is the crew

that will stop the comet

fishing road trip to Cairo.

Does anyone know how big the one?

One could kill all the dinosaurs.

Majestic. Mysterious intro.

And the thing to learn from us,

Well, that's what he's saying.

He'll scare the shit out

of our way of life.

Our society will continue as normal.

Work will go on.

You will pay your bills

and.

There will be no hoarding.

There will be no sudden profiteering.

I'm freezing all the wages.

All prices.

What about the water cost

you yesterday?

It will cost you tomorrow.

Now I'll take a few questions.

Jenny Lerner, MSNBC.

None. You son of a bitch.

Mr.

President,

why wasn't

this announcement made sooner?

Well, until we knew

we could build the rocket

and the comet could be intercepted,

we saw no reason to alarm the planet.

All of us will entertain

our worst fears and concerns.

But I can also promise you this

life will go on.

We will prevail.

This is historic.

Please, Sally. Sir.

Sir, what is the comet's name?

The two scientists who found

the comet

were killed in a car crash

while racing from their observatory

to alert the world.

So we named it for them Wolf Biederman.

Leo, I said it again.

Leo, is he talking about you?

He is, isn't he?

Were the Russians

brought into the construction

phase of this mission?

Trying to get the door?

Well,

we have the technology

to build the ship.

They have the technology to make it go.

Someone at the door.

Leo.

You've been watching

live coverage of President.

I can't believe this.

This is so weird.

Doctor Wolfe from astronomy club.

Yeah, I guess.

I think it's really neat.

Somebody on our planet discovered

the world is going to end

very much alive.

He's. He's still alive.

Everyone is right here,

and he's still alive.

Watching.

We have enough

satellite space to extend

mission control and Houston.

IRA, the science guys lined up,

and they got a Ph.D.. We all know.

All right,

this is the most important

story of our lives.

Let's not make it up.

Let's do it.

What about me?

You're on the anchor.

Well,

then you could have been there

a lot sooner.

What are you talking about?

I know what I'm talking about.

Don't ever hold back

a story from me again.

Got your note?

Let me do another one.

I'm just thinking.

Yeah, I.

I want to apologize to you

for no Grace. Tom.

You don't have to apologize at all.

I shouldn't have dragged you around

on all those oil rigs.

I just.

I don't think that

I did the right thing with you.

The wrong.

I love my life.

I love everything about my life.

I don't blame

you for my mother leaving.

She left us both.

Nothing.

And don't talk

like you're not coming back.

Promise me that you'll come back.

Okay.

Say, I promise.

I promise, grace.

That's

gonna be all right, grace.

If it's not too much trouble,

can you please

bring my fiancé home with you?

Which?

One.

More.

Freedom cruise.

Independence cruise.

I have a feeling,

Good.

You know, I mean,

considering I've never been

this scared in my entire life,

you know?

Listen, once you get up there

and be on your own,

it should happen.

I know, Harry. Oh.

Try not to disappoint you.

In case of Kate.

On the bridge.

Attention! In the firing room.

The oxidizer building is complete.

Dependance on the three engine.

All personnel.

We are T-minus

two hours to the program.

Hey, Harry.

Yeah, right.

You know, we're sitting on 4 million

pounds of fuel,

one nuclear weapon,

and a thing that has 270,000

moving parts

built by the lowest bidder.

Oh, makes you feel good, doesn't it?

Yeah.

You doing Oscar?

Great.

I got that excited, scared feeling,

like 98% excited.

2% scared.

Maybe it's more.

It could be two.

It could be 98% scared, 2% sober.

That's what makes it so dense.

Is it so confused?

I can't really figure it out.

All right, flight

directors, I want to go now.

Go for launch.

Retro booster.

Go flight and go flight trajectory.

Go flight. Fido. Look like Eva.

Go flight.

Capcom freedom

goes like Capcom independence.

Go flight.

Right.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's pucker time.

Independence and freedom.

This is Kennedy firing room.

Where? T-minus one minute.

All crew members

close and lock your visors.

And then on control in life

or in a political T -31.

Your go for auto sequence.

Start at t's, perform your Abe restart.

Okay, gentlemen,

you're our warriors up there.

God be with you.

You're already heroes.

Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Oh, yeah. That's it.

You play it well.

We're T-minus 20s.

Hey.

How.

Are you?

What?

Just a little work on.

My.

We have go for independence.

We.

Get in the way of.

We have liftoff.

We are kicking.

Houston.

The tower is clear.

They're all yours.

Heads up, everybody their arms!

All agencies go.

Keep a sharp eye out of Boca.

No problem.

Start over the.

Good roll program.

One down minutes.

We have a max killer under control.

We are matched to.

The seven.

Chris D'Amico.

Cob. Bethany, go!

Listen, this don't keep us from.

It seems to me.

And it kind of.

Freedom starts.

As I'm running from,

across the space.

We're just in the beginning

part of space

where we haven't even gotten to outer

space yet.

Roger.

Houston,

we have a visual

on the Russian space station

initiating retro burn.

Gentlemen, remember,

the Russian space station

has been up there for 11 years.

Most of us don't have cars at all.

Now, the cosmonaut on board has been on

that tin can for 18 months alone.

So don't be surprised if

he's a little, independent.

We're going to put you.

All right, crew,

let's exit these flight suits.

Me shooting

first, man, that fucking procedure.

Switching to manual

override.

One foot per second.

Let's take this slow

and do it right, folks.

20ft.

Ten feet.

Looking good on radar.

Five feet.

Watch her engage fuel.

James.

Let's go.

Come on. What?

You're looking good.

We have soft on fuel.

Teams, prepare to unload.

Copy that.

Houston, prepping for fuel transfer.

That cargo hold at 220 minutes.

Well, the consciousness of the planet

is unified,

focused on the massive mission

taking place right now

in the vast ocean of space.

We're now in the final hours

of the mission

of freedom and independence.

Prepare to slingshot around the moon.

Morning, guys.

It's time to suit up, I guess.

We got a big day.

18 seconds to radio interrupt.

Booster sequence. Confirm.

This is Houston.

Roger that. Freedom. We copy.

Shuttles are ready

for the burn around the moon.

Radio contact terminated.

We're out.

Nine and a half G's for 11 minutes.

I'd start praying about right now.

So this is the part

where we're supposed to

just hold on real tight and,

But we don't die.

And by for literal, I inclination,

lunar orbit.

Who's got those worlds

filled out correctly?

I mean, this is what we trained for,

not just suck it up on the mark five,

four, 321.

This is supposed to be like this.

Don't worry.

This is normal.

How would you know?

43 miles an hour?

Oh.

This is where situations.

50,000.

Really happy. Man, this isn't normal.

This is normal.

This is way worse.

Hang tight and I get it back up.

Oh, my God, I got,

oh, minutes like we still got nothing,

Oh

050.

For March 20th, 2500

oh.

This is a special presentation

of MSNBC news with Jenny Lerner.

Good evening.

Sometime in the next hour,

the Messiah mission will enter

its most critical phase

the interception of Wolf Peterman

and the setting of the nuclear devices

that will deflect it off

its collision course with Earth.

We have acquisition of signal

from independence and freedom.

All right.

Welcome back team.

We have visual of the target.

You see that?

Come in.

Independence.

Houston.

You got to see this to believe it.

Okay, team, let's take them in.

Okay.

Quincy, I must tell Liberator

we have freedom.

Turn on your Ford radar.

Ford radar?

Anybody?

Hang on. This could get a little rough.

Engaging.

Evasive response.

Hold on.

God damn.

We got debris.

We're dumping auxiliary

boosters.

There's.

There's a lot of different.

One is

what's coming in hot.

Try to maintain your breath.

If you've got a target, there's two.

Must be three.

We got a few, negative

ones

will hit.

You

must main thrust the steel.

Back off to me.

Then we must pass.

Yes.

You're out of control.

We are going down. UAV. Straight up.

We are going down.

Oh, come.

On.

Oh!

Good attack!

Everybody got your own life time.

Lock yourself in the cargo bay.

We are going down.

Houston.

Houston, we are going down!

We lost control.

I can't get it on.

Good luck.

Freedom!

Oh, my God, this is it.

Oh, no.

No!

Oh,

no.

Oh!

Oh!

What the hell is that?

Is under the front.

It's.

Houston indicators.

It didn't stick.

You're not going to make.

It.

Independence has gone down.

Oh!

When I touch this baby down, full

reverse thrusters fires underwater.

Sharp thrusters.

Hang tight, hang tight.

Houston, we overshot our landing field.

We overshot our landing field.

Oh!

No!

Wow!

Oh!

000.

Oh!

Oh oh.

Initiate system wide system check.

Make sure we can still get off

this rock

and electrical system is screwed.

I'm going to backup your seals.

Check engine seals?

Check. Pressure seals? Check.

Anyone hurt?

Where's.

Where's the other shuttle?

What happened to the other shuttle

dependencies?

Off the grid.

Off the grid?

What are you, a freaking cyborg?

What does that mean?

Hey, you saw it yourself, right?

The God.

Come in. Freedom.

This is capped off.

Houston. Freedom! Come in.

This is Capcom. Houston.

Come in! Freedom!

Go!

Let's just ask God

to take care of our friends.

May they rest in peace.

I'm in.

We got eight hours

for this job to go

home.

Come on.

Watts sharp. Somebody,

this is Count Comm.

Houston.

Come in.

Freedom, freedom.

Come in.

This is Capcom.

Houston.

Maybe you shouldn't be here.

I don't have anywhere else to go.

Freedom. Come in.

This is Capcom.

Houston.

All right, let's get the tools unpacked

and fire up the armadillo.

I'm not getting a damn thing

on the inertial net system.

I know where we are. Please step away.

Radio signals dense.

Flipping the backup generator.

Radio signals going to be cut in half.

Do we get main power back?

We're in segments

who are to lateral grid nine, say 1532,

give or take a few yards.

Captain America here blows

the landing by 26 miles.

How the hell do you know that?

Because I'm a genius.

The gauges will not read.

They're all peak.

Like we're plugged

into some magnetic field.

Who on the spaceship wants to know why?

By all means.

The reason

we were shooting for grid eight

is because thermal graphics indicated

that grid

nine was compressed iron ferrite.

Which means you landed us

on a goddamn iron plate.

All right, we heard the man.

Let's wheel out

the remote satellite link.

We need that radio.

Oh, God.

Please tell me we still got one of.

Independencies flat

land.

Houston, do you read?

This is freedom.

Check the thrust.

Houston, do you copy?

Is everyone good to go?

Down here in the valley,

this place is like Doctor Seuss's

worst nightmare.

Let's get the remote satellite.

We'll get better reception up there.

Bring Max down.

Watch yourself through here, Max.

A couple of big measures to the left,

rear, to the left.

Right.

Can you come on down here?

Take some readings

down the flight squad.

Yeah.

All right.

I have fire watch.

I'm coming back. Standby.

Mostly iron rod camp.

Yeah. I hate knowing everything.

Couldn't have picked the worst.

But the drill.

Well,

I can pretty much guarantee it's

not going to be thick and 50ft.

You figure that?

Because if it is, we're screwed.

Max.

You good?

Just make it home through the mouth.

Freaking out in space?

Yes.

Good.

All right, we're in

another.

Like we're cut through pretty good.

There's some stuff in here

I ain't never seen.

All right, let's push it down.

Here.

Hey, did you see that,

Max, I see it, I see it. What is it?

We lost the fight in the face.

All right, back it off. Back it off.

Got here.

I was like, is sharing.

Back it out of there, Max.

Good, good.

Hold on.

There.

Wow.

This is a goddamn Greek tragedy.

Full steam, broken drill heads before

and after ten feet.

I never seen one when I have seen one.

Where do you want?

Unpack the judge.

This one.

This is freedom.

Do you copy? Houston, do you copy?

Freedom shuttle has.

Some scan video

needs are going to

get you to try to lobby.

Thank God we have the freedom.

This is Houston.

Go ahead. Don't lose them. Aloy,

you Houston is just fine.

We have landed safely.

We're all in the 15 h dash.

Okay?

I want to know everything

we can about that location.

Get it before we lose the processing.

You're gonna do difficulties, Walter.

Get mechanical on that.

But we have to commence drilling.

Steven. We're losing.

I'm. Bring it up on four

shows.

Might make it.

Do I have no fuck to signal?

Houston.

Houston lost.

Get him back, grouper.

We need that hook up.

Seated

high. Right.

Ready, Max. Read it.

You guys, the clock is ticking.

Let's go go go go go!

I got people 45 to Chicago last week,

but I need more torque.

Get the turbine up,

Max. I need to know about it.

All right, but fourth drop down.

I still through this period, boys.

We got a hot

the hot dig dig dig to this time

bitch up.

Check the tranny stuck.

What is it?

Shoot.

Come on.

Okay, well, this thing's not moving.

Oh, no no, no.

This is not working out here.

It. Oh, are you all right?

Luna? Tranny.

Tranny. Come on.

Just a little help,

though. Mask.

Think we're close enough in there?

I heard you.

He's banished.

Before the asteroid passed,

the rotation was stable

at 32 degrees on an X axis.

And now, look at this.

The lunar gravity's put her in a spin.

She's tumbling in all three axes.

This was unexpected.

What does this do for communications?

Not good.

We'll have definite contact

with the shuttle

for only seven more minutes.

After that, it's radio darkness.

For how long?

And after seven minutes,

we may never hear from them again.

But we're trying to bounce a signal off

a Russian military satellite.

Reestablish contact.

That way, if we lose the shuttle, come.

When do we lose the ability

to remote detonate that nuke?

The weapon remote receives a signal

from a male star satellite.

Higher orbit,

more powerful transmitter.

If we've got the shuttle

for seven minutes,

we can remote detonate

for an additional five.

What are you trying to say, general?

Is that in 12 minutes time,

we may lose the ability

to detonate the new company.

I've got to inform the president.

I just want to make sure

you know we're stuck on an asteroid.

Do you know what you're doing? That.

No, no. You know what?

I have no idea what I'm doing.

I have no idea. This fun?

I don't know what that does. Okay?

All I know

is that we just crashed back there.

I lost all my friends

with 25 hour spare shuttle.

We don't know if he's alive.

We don't know if he can fly.

All I know

is there's a beep on this thing,

and I'm trying to get a snack.

Just get it unpacked.

What's up?

Drilling for some kind of metal

I've never seen before.

It's right.

Two of our drill bits.

And now we blew our first transmission.

So hot. You? Partly.

We could use your help

with the transmission from.

I have an assessment report due now.

We're supposed to be at 200ft.

So how deep are we?

Not as deep as we'll be.

When you could ask me

all these questions.

Help us.

Local transmission on

what is our current depth?

Our current depth

is not important, Colonel.

I'll decide what's important.

We've got 800ft to drill.

You've had 2.5 hours. Where are we?

We're 57ft.

If you're not too busy,

maybe you can give us a hand

with this transmission.

I'm sure.

It's strapped up.

I'll be right back, Colonel. Sure.

All right, I'm coming through.

We have contact on the stairs.

It's going to get.

You. This is for you.

Do you copy?

Working at a remote satellite,

like at this moment.

Transmission change.

20 minutes.

Puts drilling for another ten hours.

Please advise.

That's four hours past zero barrier.

Please advise.

How is this scene of death?

And where did this come from?

Who are you talking to?

So, Truman, let me

prove it.

Look,

this is what happens when you drill.

We cannot use your U.S.

Air Force personnel

only drill time card.

Who wrote this thing, by the way?

We're losing comms again.

Is he getting this? Is. You hear me?

What's wrong with this?

What do you. It calms down.

Oh, I mean,

I mean, we've lost communication

to mission,

but let's go back to the cargo bay

and get the transmission here.

I guess what? You had your shot.

You didn't do it for me.

You can't.

Why don't you stay here? Take

boys, write a report.

Why don't you tell me what a real man.

My man and I will go and get this.

Hold on.

You and your men

are the biggest mistake

in the history of nice.

On.

We've lost communication.

We're not looking too good right now.

No shit.

We got to get that radio back up.

This game's a year from this, Mr.

President.

Yes, we saw that too, sir.

Oh,

but maybe we should wait until the.

Men,

get them out of there,

even right now.

What's going on there?

I've been ordered

to override the system.

But what is this?

Secondary protocol.

But they haven't drilled

the damn hole yet.

The president's advisors feel

that the drilling isn't working,

and we've lost radio contact.

Maybe for good.

We've only got a few minutes

left of guaranteed ability

to remote detonate that nuke.

If we don't do it now,

we can lose control,

and we may never get it back.

Will you tell the president

that he better fire

his so-called advisors?

If you detonate that

nuke on the surface,

we waste a perfectly good bomb,

and we have one chance

to save this planet.

I need that radio

rover.

Give me everything you got now.

Roger that.

Yes, Mr.

President,

I understand that completely,

but my point is very, very simple.

And I think you need

to trust me on this

because I know something about it.

I guarantee you,

if you do this, you kill us all.

Yes, sir.

General.

You want you.

Just.

Kimsey. Yes, sir.

I understand.

The orders

are to remote detonate in 30s.

You have not told them yet?

That is my father.

And that this is one order

you should follow on.

You fucking know it.

Never go.

Let go!

Okay, sir.

I'll be with them.

Slow down.

Hey!

The clock on that nine foot

nuclear weapon is ticking.

Oh my God!

Sir!

Get back here now!

What?

Get the shuttle ready.

I just came on all by itself.

But what the hell is happening?

There's protocol. What's that one?

Okay, where's secondary protocol?

Where's that?

What the hell? Structure. Protocol.

What do you mean?

We've gone through the whole year.

The whole. Whoa, whoa.

You're home now. Oh, no. No!

Hey! Turn off! Push up!

I got two men out on that rock.

I got a man up there. Two.

Gotta get back down, Max.

Rock down!

Get back to the shuttle. Double time.

They could be on their way here.

I then wait here.

They would have played that.

We would have seen, What?

Airlock? The cockpit.

Now, I copy you,

Max. Rock cap.

Hey, wait a minute.

How do you rock out?

Inherited.

Got kidnaping something from.

Hey, it's all wrong, man.

We shouldn't even be up here.

I know not the chance.

I'm not leaving without my men. Sharp.

I've got 2.5 minutes to drop it.

Get off this line.

If they're not back

by the time we finish now,

we leave without them.

Okay, let's simplify this.

Let's just turn the bomb off.

Don't put this bomb down

in a hole 800ft on a fault line.

All you're gonna have

is a real expensive fireworks show.

This is turned

into a surrealistic nightmare.

What are you listening?

It's Truman.

You listen to me carefully.

I want you to kill it.

Kill the uplink.

Give us a time, sharp.

Shut this bomb down now.

Now!

I call that whose call

order to detonate

can only come from the president.

The president's just turn it off

right now. On time.

I'm telling you,

shut this bomb down now.

And I'm telling you it's not my call.

Well, guess what?

I just made the call for you.

All right.

Don't.

You could set it off.

Oh, man.

What are you doing with a gun in space?

Come on, come on.

You gotta stop that bomb right now.

Kill the uplink.

This thing is gonna blow.

We gotta get it off to get easy.

Stenhousemuir, shut this bomb down

and let us finish our job

the right way.

I'm under orders

to protect the surface.

Didn't I give you three seconds

to shut this bond?

And then I'm going to make

you shoot me.

Hurry!

Faster, for Christ's sake!

Hurry!

And what happened?

Now, sir, the override

has been overridden.

I've bought us a couple of minutes,

so get that radio working.

Okay. Hurry, hurry.

Bring me all the way just to

blow me and my friends up.

Listen.

Shut up, shut up!

Colonel, fuck up.

Good start again.

I don't feel.

Oh, that's why you were going to

smell this. All right.

What did we miss?

Do it again.

Go!

Keep trying.

Sir, I need a cease and desist.

I need your terminal now.

They're activating the bomb

coming back online, sir.

Oh, jeez.

Here we go again.

What are you doing up here?

Why did you even bother

to make the trip

the right thing to see?

It's done.

For God's sakes,

think about what you doing?

Why are you listening to someone?

It's 100,000 miles away.

We're here.

What is out there can help us to.

If we don't get this job done,

everybody's gone.

One minute.

I've been drilling holes in the earth

for 30 years, and I have never,

never missed the depth that I have

him for.

By God, I'm not going to miss this one.

I will make 800ft, 42 seconds.

But I can't do it alone.

Colonel, I need your help.

You swear on your daughter's life

and my family's

that you can hit that march.

I will make 800ft.

Two.

I swear to God, I will.

And that's done as part of.

You.

Steady, steady.

He.

Is remote.

Track a spotter under one other.

A powerful

three static.

Oh. Took a cab.

Took a steady, steady.

Go go go go.

Red wire a ready and now.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Negative. Be ready.

Good job Duke, it

drag lift.

Hudson, we've got red or blue.

But some.

Blue.

Good job.

Got it.

Got sucked up here,

sir.

The clock has stopped at three seconds.

What

have we got?

Complete radio contact.

I got some magic happening.

We're bouncing off Russian

and French satellite.

It may have been a signal.

It's in the coffee.

Go ahead.

And freedom.

Houston, you have a problem.

Problem?

See, I promised my little girl

that I'd be coming home.

I don't know what you

people are doing down there.

We got a hole to dig up here.

Go go go go.

Okay, guys, I'll go now. Quick.

How you doing down there? Good. Okay.

We got to tell you,

we're back in business,

and you guys should take a break

and come up and see this.

Wow.

Got a great view of the earth

from here.

Too bad

we'll never set foot on her again.

Let you see anything more,

but keep going. I'm not giving up.

All right.

Doing a good job.

Give me a reading, Max.

150ft. Harry,

I got to stop the South and the yeehaw!

Right. Go the FBI.

Okay, get off

the nuclear warhead.

I was doing that guy from that movie,

you know,

Slim Pickens, where he rides it

all the way in the nuclear warhead.

Now, I and do that one,

We got 700ft all to dig rock and.

All right,

just just wanted to feel the power

to shut my legs.

Brother.

You

crack up, you better transmission.

Ready? Let's go. Harry.

All right, take it out of them.

Lock it down.

Take.

Max

down.

Shift slowly and put it in reverse.

You got to get that pipe down.

So.

Tap it.

Crack, crack.

Dogs. Crank you.

Shut your.

Now get out of your house.

Where to get. Fuck you.

Touch your dick.

Yes! Oh!

Get down there.

Jesus!

I'm fucking.

Get to get.

Away!

I'm real.

By a max.

I care, buddy, I'm.

A deal's off the scope.

See, we've had a blowout.

No sign of the armadillo.

Get all the Truman.

Prepare the world

for bad news.

We're getting sketchy information

that the mission has suffered

massive failure.

And what we're trying to do right now

is to confirm that and find out

exactly what that heat.

We're getting leaks from several NASA

officials, some rushing

home to be with their families,

that the drilling was unsuccessful.

Yeah.

How does it get us to come down

below volcano?

This could very well be our final hour

again.

Tribune guy

and son

love South,

and we're going to go off the air now.

Good luck and God bless.

You got incoming, I got tracks,

no rats. Checking for small incoming.

Go to Europe.

I think once about hitting in Paris.

Some reports are coming in.

Martial law has been implemented in 42,

but once the asteroid hits

zero barrier,

it will take about three hours

and 57 minutes to impact.

Yes, I'm still here.

Sorry.

Okay.

Okay.

We're live in 10s.

Cue the president,

Mr. President. Five.

Four.

Three.

Hello, America.

It is my unhappy duty to report to you

that the Messiah has failed.

We don't know how many are alive.

We don't know their condition.

Now we have to make

some decisions together.

What do we do?

You have a choice.

We have a choice right now.

Ever since the comet was discovered,

we've been hoping

and working for the best.

But we've also been

planning for the worst.

It is only prudent that we now

take cautionary steps

to ensure the continuation

of our way of life, to guarantee that

there will be enough of us

left to rebuild a new world.

In the unlikely event

that the comets do strike the Earth.

So, in the soft limestone of Missouri,

we've been preparing

a network of immense caves,

and they're almost finished,

and we can put a million

people in them,

and that million people

can survive there

on the ground for two years,

until the air clears

and the dust settles,

and the cave is more than a dormitory.

It's our new Noah's Ark.

We're storing seeds

and seedlings, plants, animals

enough to start over.

A computer will randomly select

800,000 Americans

to join the 200,000 scientists,

doctors, engineers,

teachers, soldiers, and artists

who have already been chosen.

Other countries are preparing

similar caves along

whatever lines they feel are best

to preserve their way of life.

This is ours.

News stations around

the nation are being faxed copies

of the lottery procedure as we speak,

and they'll be broadcast

the details to you in a few months.

And in my three, two.

We now have the details

for the National Lottery.

Those of you who have been preselected

will be notified

within the next few minutes.

For the rest of those

who Social Security numbers

have been randomly selected by computer

will be notified

during this period,

no unofficial travel will be permitted.

Those selected will be taken by bus

and train to the underground Ark

site by military personnel.

Civil defense teams have been formed

in every town,

with the population over 5000.

They will distribute

supplies and organize group

shelters and underground

parking facilities

and other appropriate sites.

Construction plans and equipment

lists and locations

for securing the necessary clue,

along with yes, this is elevator milk.

Grow your own Food underground

and how to Purify water

are now available.

That and we've been pre-selected

c d a dot.

Chuck, Chuck, where are you going?

From our phone.

They could be calling

the beginning on August 9th.

The only phones that ring

will be those of the people selected.

That's it.

That's all there is.

Guess what, guys?

It's time to embrace the horror.

Look, we got front row.

Take us to the ends of the earth.

Yeah.

When you go

right.

What's up with that?

Get that five out of there.

We got an alternate.

Houston.

You're not going to believe this,

but the other armadillo has a rather.

Well. Right, people listen up.

Settle down and folks, get on line.

Yo, give me a set up.

Your boyfriend's back.

No.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, hey, hey.

Miss me?

Hey, Jay.

I got just five words for you.

Glad to see you.

But the six words shut down.

So where's this? All you need?

Houston, drilling has recommenced.

We're gonna be down.

And, man,

pressure from our coming down.

We got 250ft to go.

It's our last transmission. Last drill.

It puts it through first gear.

We got contact.

Run on, down and down.

I did deep worry.

774.

Oh, they got problems.

Cases are spiking.

They shut it down. Back it down.

Can't go back now. We've been on.

Get much more done.

And I know it's going to be

a push up for

what put done. Seven.

Five seven, eight.

Dig it up for me. Rabbit hole.

75.

Come, come, come on.

891 come on.

792.

795.

And 197 9968.

Up to

here.

We get a.

Get a good day.

Do you go, baby?

It's not over

till we get the bomb down.

That whole.

Everybody give me that help.

Yeah!

Well,

this is something new.

Like this thing like success.

Coach knows we're here to get.

To the power

shop.

Henson.

People get up and down.

Oh, no!

No!

Just leave

after seven.

Sharp.

You all right?

I'm okay. There. Yeah.

I'm here. Hey.

Hey, hey.

Yeah.

I'm okay.

We lost Gruber.

Thermostat.

Let's get that bomb ready and go home.

Oh my God.

Sir. Problem.

Colonel timer.

The remote.

The whole thing's done

on this day.

On the triggers. Dead.

It must have gotten damaged

during the rock storm.

How do we detonate it?

We have 18 minutes to zero barrier.

We got some bad news.

The remote detonator on the bomb

has been damaged.

It means

somebody is going to

have to stay behind.

It takes two people to fly this thing

to do. We all stand.

I

are you guys just draws.

I say we all stay and die.

But that's me.

I'll draw

a straw.

Bet he's going to draw straws.

I'll take care of him.

Well,

I can live with that sort of thing.

What he asked you for with it.

All right, let's play.

I will let you volunteer for this

so I can go back to my home country

like the man who did not volunteer.

No way.

Hey, man.

Let's drive.

Let's see who's going to stay up here

and dance.

Guys,

I know you guys think I'm crazy right

now, but I would really

like this responsibility.

All right, all right.

I can do it real strong.

Get over it. Come on.

I ain't drawn against your hair.

Well, I'm

going to draw against you chicks.

You better just go ahead and do it.

Just give it a second.

Is this good or bad?

For.

A man.

Well,

you know I'm going to die, right?

I'm the guy who gets to do it.

Saving the world.

So, Let's go.

We got about ten minutes, right?

You plug this into the port

lift, press hold.

That's it.

The press hold should be too tight.

Even I can't screw this up.

I'll take him down.

Do me a favor.

You tell Grace that I'm.

Always be with him.

Okay?

Can you do that?

Yeah.

Okay.

Good.

Good.

Mr.

Truman, make sure to get that in there.

It's my turn.

Alright, alright,

get this to me.

Like,

you know, take care of my little girl.

Now.

That's your job.

I always thought of you as a son.

Always.

I'll be damned

proud to have you marry Grace.

Hey,

take care of yourself.

I love you, I love you

when I got so there.

And you know that

you.

What happened?

That creepy, stubborn

son of.

This was a real good idea.

All right, let's go.

Shark!

Let's get our team out of here.

What's your audition?

Trust.

Let's go.

Guys.

Yo, I think.

This is going down like this.

You're all right up to Ben's locked

engine board is great.

Houston, do you copy?

This is Harry Stamper.

Last time to restart

the electrical system.

Driver, baby, you simple oxidizer.

Houston, we're out of here.

T-minus three minutes.

Daddy.

Hi, Gracie.

Honey.

Grace, I know I promised you

I was coming home.

But I don't understand.

Oh, looks like

I'm gonna have to break that promise.

I am,

I lied to you, too.

When I told you

that I didn't want to be like you.

Because I am like you.

And everything good that

I have inside of me, I have for me.

I love you so much.

To me.

And I'm so proud.

You're so scared.

I'm so scared

I know I'd be.

But there won't be anything

to be scared of soon.

Gracie,

I want you to know AJ saved us.

He did?

Not want you to tell chick.

I couldn't have done it without him.

No.

I want you to

take care of AJ.

I wish I could be there to walk

Danny out.

When I.

Look, you you from time to time.

Okay, honey.

I love you, Grace.

I love it.

I gotta go now.

Daddy.

No, no.

No, dad, no!

Father, that

OMS pod restart.

Oh! Two vents, lock pressure.

Whoa!

The hell's going on up there?

Why haven't you guys left yet?

We're going. Harry! Houston,

we got to start.

Confirm.

What's the point?

I don't know what you mean.

Fix it now.

I got no time.

No time gone.

What's that?

Where are you going?

Oh, come on, we're staying,

we're going,

we're staying, we're going.

Make up your mind and it's shot.

Get out of here now!

You got less than three minutes.

Come on, come on, come on!

While the bomb. Harry, we're with you.

I need Scorpius. Back off.

You don't know the components.

The components.

American components are large

and components all made in time.

In time for ignition freedom.

Houston, we've got no fire.

What does that mean?

You got a busted ship?

A busted ship,

and I'm strapped in here.

I had a great spot.

Picked out their freedom.

You fire that?

There's not a way.

You find a way.

The clock's ticking. Let's go.

Let's fire that engine. Freedom!

You got less than a minute.

Don't think I won't blow this thing.

Stop!

Get out of here!

It's getting bad down here.

She's got me back! She's gonna be back.

We're hot. Watch. Let's go, let's go

clean.

All you one, you son of a bitch!

Over here!

We got. No!

Ain't thrusters on my mark.

Two, one half.

Come on, get some altitude.

Let's go, let's go.

Come on. Me up

next for thrust.

Thank you very.

Chuckles out of range.

Still no detonation,

Something's not right.

It's time to combine.

Zero barrier's about to be breached.

One minute.

Come on, press that button.

We're going back into it ourselves.

Just don't wait one minute.

Damn it!

We're about to cross the threshold.

Come on, Harry, press the button.

Colonel, I'm asking you just

one more minute.

Okay, press the button.

Stamper.

Oh, one.

I'll do it.

I know it.

You just know how to fail.

They went crazy.

Has it?

We have to finish

confirming detonation.

They're all over the place.

Oh, he's a breach in the atmosphere

from Miller down

the North American seaboard.

It's.

Come on, hurry up.

Come on.

No, wait.

What are you doing? Show me.

What are you

shipping?

No, we have to go in there.

Come on, come on.

Jenny, we hope you know

the road was so crowded,

it was obvious

we weren't going to make it

to where it is.

So I thought it was the way it does

come that we should be here.

Because she likes it here.

And, I mean, we're on the 15th floor,

so maybe we'll be okay.

You say goodbye anyway.

Let's do what you're doing.

Okay.

Oh, we gotta get.

Back.

Down!

I can't go.

Hey, got.

She's going with you.

You're taking your seat.

Come on. Go, go

go.

We're.

Not goin nowhere.

No.

Peter!

No!

No!

No!

Kennedy. We used to.

And you never looked so good.

I never told anybody this before.

But I hate flying, so I'm being awful.

Shame to die now,

that's easy for you to say.

I owe 100 grand to a badass loan shark.

Which I spent on a stripper

named Molly Mounds.

All right, it's back.

Kennedy.

We are 100% slap

suspension control on full.

Let the whole astronauts.

Pay.

For this tamper.

Colonel Willie Sheriff, United States

Air Force man

requesting permission

to shake the hand of the daughter

of the bravest man I've ever met.

In home.

Yes, father.

Oh, my God, you're my hero.

Oh, baby.

I want to have babies.

Oh!

Welcome back down, boy.

Harry,

why don't you two have this?

In there,

The waters reached

as far inland

as the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys.

It washed away farms and towns,

forests and skyscrapers.

But

the water receded.

The wave hit Europe and Africa, too.

Millions were lost.

Countless more left

homeless.

But the waters

receded.

Cities fall.

But they are rebuilt

and heroes die.

But they are remembered.

We honor them with every brick we lay.

With every field we so

with every child we comfort

and then teach.

To rejoice in what we have been given.

Our planet.

Our home.

So now

let us begin.
