1
00:02:09,999 --> 00:02:11,566
What is going on here?

2
00:02:21,097 --> 00:02:22,272
This can't be right.

3
00:03:11,278 --> 00:03:12,235
Safety.

4
00:03:28,251 --> 00:03:29,861
Goddammit, Daniel.

5
00:03:32,124 --> 00:03:33,430
Come on.

6
00:03:51,318 --> 00:03:52,406
Boo!

7
00:03:53,537 --> 00:03:54,625
Morning, Dad.

8
00:03:54,669 --> 00:03:55,844
Very funny,
sweetheart.

9
00:04:03,155 --> 00:04:04,331
You're back early.

10
00:04:04,853 --> 00:04:06,333
Telescope
scared the birds.

11
00:04:07,203 --> 00:04:08,378
Sorry.

12
00:04:11,686 --> 00:04:14,819
Hey, Michelle,
can you take a look at this?

13
00:04:14,863 --> 00:04:18,083
Because this star was marked
as a naked star,

14
00:04:18,127 --> 00:04:19,346
but I think there
might be exoplanets.

15
00:04:19,389 --> 00:04:20,869
Daniel, you know
I'm done with this.

16
00:04:20,912 --> 00:04:22,044
No, I know that
you're retired,

17
00:04:22,087 --> 00:04:23,132
but this is really important.

18
00:04:23,175 --> 00:04:24,829
Not more important
than our kids.

19
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:26,962
I think we need to rethink

20
00:04:27,005 --> 00:04:29,225
this whole holistic
homeschooling curriculum.

21
00:04:29,704 --> 00:04:31,183
I can't do this without you.

22
00:04:31,227 --> 00:04:33,142
Traditional school
isn't an option.

23
00:04:34,186 --> 00:04:35,579
I think it is an option,

24
00:04:35,623 --> 00:04:37,320
because that's what a school
is for. Kids go to that.

25
00:04:37,364 --> 00:04:39,757
No, if our kids grow up
learning the same way we did,

26
00:04:39,801 --> 00:04:41,933
then there is no hope
for future generations.

27
00:04:41,977 --> 00:04:43,326
Was our generation that bad?

28
00:04:44,893 --> 00:04:45,720
Ugh.

29
00:04:45,763 --> 00:04:46,503
Michelle, please!

30
00:04:46,547 --> 00:04:47,591
All I know...

31
00:04:47,635 --> 00:04:48,853
You're better at this
than I am.

32
00:04:48,897 --> 00:04:50,115
...is it wasn't good
for our family

33
00:04:50,159 --> 00:04:51,726
when you and I were down
in that bunker,

34
00:04:51,769 --> 00:04:53,293
our, our minds
light years away.

35
00:04:53,336 --> 00:04:54,903
I, I know but

36
00:04:54,946 --> 00:04:57,645
You promised the kids that
you wouldn't work on weekends.

37
00:04:59,124 --> 00:05:01,301
We could spend
more time with them.

38
00:05:09,396 --> 00:05:10,832
Come on, kids, let's
go!

39
00:05:17,491 --> 00:05:19,667
Do you, uh, do you want us
to get you an ice cream?

40
00:05:19,710 --> 00:05:20,929
I'm good, thanks.

41
00:05:20,972 --> 00:05:22,365
Okay.

42
00:05:30,765 --> 00:05:33,594
Is it okay if you guys
do the arcade without me?

43
00:05:35,030 --> 00:05:36,597
I just gotta run a quick errand.

44
00:05:38,947 --> 00:05:40,470
I'll give you 20 dollars each.

45
00:05:40,514 --> 00:05:41,602
Really?

46
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:46,346
Okay, just don't tell
your mother.

47
00:05:46,389 --> 00:05:48,173
What's the errand?

48
00:06:21,293 --> 00:06:22,947
I like the disguise,
the fishing gear.

49
00:06:22,991 --> 00:06:24,601
You fit right in.

50
00:06:24,645 --> 00:06:28,300
It's not a disguise, Daniel.
I'm going fishing after this.

51
00:06:28,344 --> 00:06:30,085
Oh. Salmon? Bass?

52
00:06:30,825 --> 00:06:33,915
So, uh, I appreciate you
seeing me on the weekend.

53
00:06:33,958 --> 00:06:35,177
I know you've got kids.

54
00:06:36,874 --> 00:06:38,659
Actually, it's really great
timing that we're meeting today

55
00:06:38,702 --> 00:06:40,095
because um...

56
00:06:41,792 --> 00:06:43,141
What was that?
What?

57
00:06:43,185 --> 00:06:44,360
You looking over your shoulder

58
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:45,927
like you're checking
for something.

59
00:06:46,536 --> 00:06:47,624
Well, I'm trying to be safe.

60
00:06:47,668 --> 00:06:49,278
I don't want anyone
to hear this.

61
00:06:49,321 --> 00:06:51,541
You think anyone actually
wants to listen to this?

62
00:06:51,585 --> 00:06:53,848
Well, I know this
intel is classified.

63
00:06:53,891 --> 00:06:55,763
Who told you that?

64
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:58,592
Well, I just assumed,

65
00:06:58,635 --> 00:07:00,637
being off grid in the bunker,
camouflaged.

66
00:07:00,681 --> 00:07:03,118
Uh, Cold War ended
a long time ago.

67
00:07:03,161 --> 00:07:04,685
Trust me, no one cares.

68
00:07:04,728 --> 00:07:07,078
Well, I think if you just
take a look at what I have here,

69
00:07:07,122 --> 00:07:08,471
you'll see that
there's some anomalies.

70
00:07:08,515 --> 00:07:10,995
I asked for this meeting,
so let me go first.

71
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,911
I'm retiring, Daniel.

72
00:07:13,955 --> 00:07:17,175
And I get the distinct feeling
that no one else at NORAD

73
00:07:17,219 --> 00:07:19,961
wants or cares for your very
detailed reports.

74
00:07:20,004 --> 00:07:22,485
Hell, I barely look at
them and I get paid to.

75
00:07:22,529 --> 00:07:23,399
But

76
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:25,749
But... I like you.

77
00:07:25,793 --> 00:07:28,448
And I like Michelle,
and I know you're patriots.

78
00:07:28,491 --> 00:07:31,799
Also, I owe Michelle's father,
Ming, a debt of gratitude.

79
00:07:32,756 --> 00:07:34,366
A big one, actually.

80
00:07:34,410 --> 00:07:36,543
So, on my way out of the agency,

81
00:07:36,586 --> 00:07:38,849
I'm going to renew a 20-year
contract for you.

82
00:07:38,893 --> 00:07:42,157
You can email your reports to
our server, so if anyone ever

83
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,247
Teddy, I am serious.
I found something.

84
00:07:45,290 --> 00:07:48,163
No, you didn't, Daniel.

85
00:07:48,206 --> 00:07:50,513
Not this time,
not the other times.

86
00:07:51,209 --> 00:07:54,169
It's an error, or an omission.

87
00:07:54,212 --> 00:07:58,129
Or maybe a subconscious game
you play on yourself

88
00:07:58,173 --> 00:07:59,609
to keep yourself interested.

89
00:08:00,262 --> 00:08:02,569
But we both know that there's
no discernible evidence

90
00:08:02,612 --> 00:08:03,874
of life in space.

91
00:08:03,918 --> 00:08:06,050
Even if there was something
else out there,

92
00:08:06,094 --> 00:08:08,357
you're never gonna find it
with a 50-year-old telescope.

93
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,011
If you'd just take a look.

94
00:08:10,054 --> 00:08:11,316
With this contract...
Teddy

95
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,840
...you can take care of your
family.

96
00:08:12,883 --> 00:08:16,496
You can live a good
life, write a book, whatever.

97
00:08:16,539 --> 00:08:17,540
Please

98
00:08:17,584 --> 00:08:19,499
I am trying to help you,
Daniel.

99
00:08:19,542 --> 00:08:24,765
But if you open that file,
I'm going to change my mind.

100
00:08:29,378 --> 00:08:31,293
Now...

101
00:08:31,336 --> 00:08:33,425
I'd like to go fishing.

102
00:08:40,389 --> 00:08:42,130
I've enjoyed getting to know
you over the years.

103
00:08:42,173 --> 00:08:44,088
You're a smart man.

104
00:08:44,828 --> 00:08:47,004
Now you have the freedom
to do anything you want.

105
00:08:47,048 --> 00:08:49,616
I hope you do something with it.

106
00:08:57,188 --> 00:08:58,755
Just get the bill, please.

107
00:09:12,726 --> 00:09:14,510
Come on, kids! Let's go!

108
00:09:47,543 --> 00:09:49,066
<i> Hello?</i>

109
00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:50,764
<i> Hi, Ming.</i>

110
00:09:51,634 --> 00:09:53,941
<i> Daniel... is that you?</i>

111
00:09:57,248 --> 00:09:59,468
Can I trouble you for
some help with my work?

112
00:09:59,990 --> 00:10:02,645
<i>Don't you have colleagues</i>
<i>you can call about this stuff?</i>

113
00:10:03,864 --> 00:10:08,564
Nope. I only have you, Ming,
unfortunately for us both.

114
00:10:10,697 --> 00:10:13,264
<i>Okay. What's on your mind?</i>

115
00:10:13,308 --> 00:10:15,266
I think I found something.

116
00:10:15,789 --> 00:10:16,877
<i>What's that?</i>

117
00:10:17,921 --> 00:10:20,010
I don't know.
I need a second opinion.

118
00:10:20,924 --> 00:10:23,187
<i>You share a roof</i>
<i>with an astrophysicist.</i>

119
00:10:23,231 --> 00:10:24,754
<i>What does she say?</i>

120
00:10:24,798 --> 00:10:26,669
Well, she won't even look.

121
00:10:32,762 --> 00:10:34,285
I miss her, Daniel.

122
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,638
Will she ever speak to me again?

123
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:44,121
Daniel?

124
00:10:48,212 --> 00:10:49,170
<i> Daniel?</i>

125
00:10:49,823 --> 00:10:51,215
I gotta go.

126
00:10:51,259 --> 00:10:52,347
<i> Please.</i>

127
00:10:52,390 --> 00:10:53,696
Sorry.
<i> Daniel</i>

128
00:10:59,093 --> 00:11:00,398
Who was that?

129
00:11:01,835 --> 00:11:03,227
It was your father.

130
00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:07,754
You know, you are
a real piece of work.

131
00:11:07,797 --> 00:11:09,451
Most wives
I'm not your wife.

132
00:11:09,494 --> 00:11:11,279
Well, darling, most partners

133
00:11:11,322 --> 00:11:12,933
I'm not your darling, either.

134
00:11:12,976 --> 00:11:15,239
What I'm trying to say is that
I think you should look at it

135
00:11:15,283 --> 00:11:18,199
as a good thing that I keep
in touch with your father.

136
00:11:18,547 --> 00:11:20,462
I haven't spoken to my father
in years,

137
00:11:20,505 --> 00:11:22,464
and I'm supposed to be happy
that you guys call each other

138
00:11:22,507 --> 00:11:23,726
for pillow talk?

139
00:11:23,770 --> 00:11:25,728
I can't help it,
he's a true genius,

140
00:11:25,772 --> 00:11:27,121
one of only two that I know.

141
00:11:27,164 --> 00:11:28,949
And since, y'know,
you don't want to talk to me

142
00:11:28,992 --> 00:11:32,474
about work anymore, I'm grateful
he answers my phone calls.

143
00:11:32,996 --> 00:11:36,652
He answers because you
are giving him hope.

144
00:11:37,784 --> 00:11:40,961
False hope... that he's gonna
be a part of this family.

145
00:11:43,180 --> 00:11:44,399
You're right.

146
00:11:46,314 --> 00:11:47,663
Sorry.

147
00:11:51,058 --> 00:11:52,712
Thank you.

148
00:11:55,976 --> 00:11:57,194
Come here.

149
00:12:00,415 --> 00:12:02,025
Have a night cap with me.

150
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:05,812
Just one.

151
00:12:08,902 --> 00:12:10,207
Okay.

152
00:12:26,528 --> 00:12:28,922
You think the kids know
we're on a break?

153
00:12:30,184 --> 00:12:32,273
Please... can we just
call it a fight?

154
00:12:35,929 --> 00:12:37,060
Pretty smart, though.

155
00:12:37,104 --> 00:12:38,758
They probably know something's
going on.

156
00:12:38,801 --> 00:12:40,107
Yeah, they are.

157
00:12:41,935 --> 00:12:45,808
Smart, loving, and tough.

158
00:12:45,852 --> 00:12:47,157
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.

159
00:12:52,510 --> 00:12:53,729
Thank you.

160
00:12:55,557 --> 00:12:57,907
For being the star that keeps
our family in orbit.

161
00:13:06,046 --> 00:13:07,047
What?

162
00:13:07,569 --> 00:13:10,093
Nothing. That was very sweet.

163
00:13:10,441 --> 00:13:11,878
What is it?

164
00:13:11,921 --> 00:13:15,664
It's just, you don't think
of anything else, do you?

165
00:13:18,362 --> 00:13:19,799
I've always been this way.

166
00:13:21,452 --> 00:13:23,454
You used to call it a passion,
now you call it an obsession.

167
00:13:23,498 --> 00:13:25,239
But whatever you call it,

168
00:13:25,282 --> 00:13:28,068
I've had it the same way
since we met.

169
00:13:36,467 --> 00:13:38,339
I see you every day
and I miss you so much.

170
00:13:38,382 --> 00:13:39,731
How is that possible?

171
00:13:40,471 --> 00:13:42,865
I know what you mean,
I miss you, too.

172
00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:45,433
We miss you.

173
00:13:47,957 --> 00:13:50,830
I'm gonna be a better
father. I promise.

174
00:13:54,485 --> 00:13:56,357
I want you to admit
something, though.

175
00:13:57,053 --> 00:13:58,359
What?

176
00:13:58,402 --> 00:14:00,361
We had a lot of amazing
times in that bunker.

177
00:14:00,404 --> 00:14:02,580
Oh yeah, that's easy.
Of course we did.

178
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,845
Late nights, early mornings.

179
00:14:07,281 --> 00:14:08,717
Do you remember when you found
the black hole

180
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,850
in the 63 Messier galaxy?

181
00:14:10,893 --> 00:14:12,721
Yeah, we just smoked a joint.

182
00:14:13,287 --> 00:14:16,768
And now on the list of
largest black holes is 11-01C,

183
00:14:16,812 --> 00:14:19,641
Holmgrun 15A, and Pac Man.

184
00:14:19,684 --> 00:14:20,860
Pac Man.

185
00:14:23,427 --> 00:14:25,081
We spent more nights
on that crappy couch

186
00:14:25,125 --> 00:14:26,604
than we did our own bed.

187
00:14:31,131 --> 00:14:32,828
I know you're up to something.

188
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:35,091
What? I didn't say anything.

189
00:14:37,093 --> 00:14:41,141
All right, I'll bite.
What's in the papers?

190
00:14:42,185 --> 00:14:44,492
Oh, the papers? Oh, nah, you
wouldn't be interested in that.

191
00:14:44,535 --> 00:14:45,754
Oh, my God, forget I asked!

192
00:14:45,797 --> 00:14:47,451
Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.

193
00:14:53,283 --> 00:14:54,502
You, you see that...

194
00:14:54,545 --> 00:14:55,503
see the gravitational force
here?

195
00:14:55,546 --> 00:14:56,765
Yeah, I see. Wait.

196
00:14:56,808 --> 00:14:58,201
I think there may be
an Exoplanet there.

197
00:15:05,339 --> 00:15:06,688
Oh, my God.

198
00:15:08,168 --> 00:15:09,386
Daniel, th-

199
00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:10,866
Yeah?

200
00:15:12,563 --> 00:15:14,391
When's the next time
the telescope is gonna have

201
00:15:14,435 --> 00:15:17,177
a clear viewing plane?
Six months?

202
00:15:18,439 --> 00:15:19,962
Seven minutes and 35 seconds.

203
00:15:20,006 --> 00:15:21,659
Daniel! Oh, my God!

204
00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:44,247
52 seconds.

205
00:15:50,340 --> 00:15:51,776
Wait, wait, wait. Not yet.

206
00:16:10,273 --> 00:16:11,666
Holy sh

207
00:16:43,872 --> 00:16:45,004
Mom?

208
00:16:47,832 --> 00:16:49,530
Frankie, wake up.

209
00:17:37,056 --> 00:17:38,144
Hey!

210
00:17:39,188 --> 00:17:40,755
You said we would go hunting.

211
00:17:43,366 --> 00:17:44,672
Morning, kids.

212
00:17:48,850 --> 00:17:50,678
You found something,
didn't you?

213
00:17:53,724 --> 00:17:54,986
We sure did.

214
00:18:12,569 --> 00:18:13,875
What a night.

215
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,139
Are they gonna come kill us?

216
00:18:17,183 --> 00:18:19,359
No, no, everything
is fine.

217
00:18:19,402 --> 00:18:21,012
They don't even know
we're here.

218
00:18:21,056 --> 00:18:23,102
And if they did,
they wouldn't care, probably.

219
00:18:23,798 --> 00:18:25,278
I'm getting my gun.

220
00:18:25,321 --> 00:18:27,062
No, no, no, no, no, Maddy,
Maddy.

221
00:18:27,628 --> 00:18:29,717
They've been there since
probably before humans

222
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:30,718
have existed.

223
00:18:30,761 --> 00:18:31,849
This doesn't change anything.

224
00:18:31,893 --> 00:18:34,548
It's just, now we know they're
there.

225
00:18:34,591 --> 00:18:36,158
How?

226
00:18:36,202 --> 00:18:38,639
You said you can't see them.
How do you know they're there?

227
00:18:40,684 --> 00:18:45,689
Okay, let's pretend that Earth
is here in the dining room.

228
00:18:45,733 --> 00:18:49,824
Okay? And that the kitchen
is a solar system

229
00:18:49,867 --> 00:18:52,392
7.3 light years away.

230
00:18:52,435 --> 00:18:55,830
And this light is like the star
in that solar system.

231
00:18:55,873 --> 00:18:56,831
Are you with me?

232
00:18:56,874 --> 00:18:58,615
Yeah.

233
00:18:58,659 --> 00:19:02,184
So, right here we have
Planet Y.

234
00:19:03,142 --> 00:19:05,187
And Planet Y we can't see,

235
00:19:05,231 --> 00:19:08,973
but we know that Planet Y
is in the Goldilocks zone

236
00:19:09,017 --> 00:19:11,280
relative to it's solar system's
star.

237
00:19:11,324 --> 00:19:14,414
So, Planet Y should have
the right temperature,

238
00:19:14,457 --> 00:19:16,764
the right liquid water,
atmosphere, gravity,

239
00:19:16,807 --> 00:19:18,722
all the things needed for life
to prosper.

240
00:19:18,766 --> 00:19:20,289
I get it.

241
00:19:20,333 --> 00:19:22,204
Good. You can tell by its
shadow, nothing's happening.

242
00:19:22,248 --> 00:19:23,466
It's just like any other
planet.

243
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:28,515
But we can tell by the effect
of the light,

244
00:19:28,558 --> 00:19:31,213
that something is happening
here.

245
00:19:31,257 --> 00:19:33,694
Something purposeful.

246
00:19:36,479 --> 00:19:38,481
Something conscious.

247
00:19:38,525 --> 00:19:40,614
Because based on the gravity
in this solar system,

248
00:19:40,657 --> 00:19:43,747
that light should be much
brighter.

249
00:19:43,791 --> 00:19:49,884
So, something is dimming
this light by about 75%.

250
00:19:50,667 --> 00:19:54,193
And we know that any advanced
civilization would try

251
00:19:54,236 --> 00:19:57,457
to capture the energy
from its nearest star.

252
00:19:58,022 --> 00:19:59,589
We call it a Dyson sphere.

253
00:19:59,633 --> 00:20:02,244
Yeah, it's like
a massive solar panel.

254
00:20:02,288 --> 00:20:03,854
So, based on our data,

255
00:20:03,898 --> 00:20:06,944
we know that something
is purposefully capturing

256
00:20:06,988 --> 00:20:08,816
that star's light energy.

257
00:20:08,859 --> 00:20:10,905
You said they probably
don't know we're here.

258
00:20:10,948 --> 00:20:14,343
Could we send a signal,
say what's up, or something?

259
00:20:14,909 --> 00:20:17,085
Yeah. Yeah, you could.

260
00:20:17,128 --> 00:20:18,739
You just need a clear viewing
horizon

261
00:20:18,782 --> 00:20:19,609
and a transmitting radio
telescope

262
00:20:19,653 --> 00:20:20,741
No!

263
00:20:20,784 --> 00:20:23,570
No signals! Mom, make them stop!

264
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:25,485
Oh, sweetie, sweetie.

265
00:20:25,528 --> 00:20:27,530
I don't want there
to be aliens.

266
00:20:28,618 --> 00:20:30,664
So, what are you
gonna call them?

267
00:20:32,187 --> 00:20:33,623
What do you want to call them?

268
00:20:34,885 --> 00:20:37,714
How about 959 Elite?

269
00:20:38,454 --> 00:20:39,673
What's that?

270
00:20:40,282 --> 00:20:42,371
It's our area code.
All the rappers do it.

271
00:20:43,024 --> 00:20:44,112
You listen to rap?

272
00:21:09,442 --> 00:21:11,792
<i> You've reached</i>
<i>Teddy. Do not leave a message.</i>

273
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:21,367
Okay, we have just under
a week until 959 Elite orbits

274
00:21:21,410 --> 00:21:22,803
its star and then we lose
visual,

275
00:21:22,846 --> 00:21:24,631
and I could really use
your help. You up for it?

276
00:21:24,674 --> 00:21:25,719
Of course I'll help.

277
00:21:25,762 --> 00:21:27,155
You're like the most famous
explorer

278
00:21:27,198 --> 00:21:28,765
since Christopher Columbus.

279
00:21:29,766 --> 00:21:31,507
Columbus wasn't all he
was cracked up to be.

280
00:21:31,812 --> 00:21:34,728
Hey, what are you doing?

281
00:21:34,771 --> 00:21:36,382
Scanning your papers?

282
00:21:36,425 --> 00:21:37,644
Yeah.

283
00:21:37,687 --> 00:21:39,950
Oh. What's your plan for

284
00:21:39,994 --> 00:21:41,343
I'm just backing up.

285
00:21:41,387 --> 00:21:44,172
Hmm. Can I talk to you
outside for a sec?

286
00:21:44,215 --> 00:21:45,391
Yeah, sure.

287
00:21:47,610 --> 00:21:48,742
Keep an eye on them.

288
00:21:51,266 --> 00:21:52,659
So, I want to start
out by saying

289
00:21:52,702 --> 00:21:56,880
that I am so proud of you,
Daniel.

290
00:21:58,012 --> 00:21:59,840
I still can't believe it.

291
00:21:59,883 --> 00:22:02,233
And the fact that we got
to do that together, it's...

292
00:22:03,844 --> 00:22:05,802
one of the greatest nights
of my life.

293
00:22:08,239 --> 00:22:09,589
Yeah, me too.

294
00:22:13,549 --> 00:22:15,290
We gotta talk about
what we're gonna do next,

295
00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:18,162
cause it's gonna have
serious consequences and

296
00:22:18,206 --> 00:22:20,034
I know. I know, I know.

297
00:22:20,077 --> 00:22:21,383
I mean, I still can't
believe it.

298
00:22:21,427 --> 00:22:25,169
I mean, all those years
of scanning nothingness,

299
00:22:25,213 --> 00:22:26,475
with no hope.

300
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:28,782
But now, this is the greatest
single discovery

301
00:22:28,825 --> 00:22:29,783
in the history of physics.

302
00:22:29,826 --> 00:22:30,827
Daniel, Daniel...

303
00:22:30,871 --> 00:22:31,872
Of astronomy, of

304
00:22:31,915 --> 00:22:33,482
...we can't tell anybody.

305
00:22:39,401 --> 00:22:40,359
What?

306
00:22:40,402 --> 00:22:41,969
There's gonna be panic.

307
00:22:43,057 --> 00:22:44,928
An overnight increase
in defense spending.

308
00:22:45,625 --> 00:22:48,628
Institutional paranoia.
People are gonna freak out.

309
00:22:48,671 --> 00:22:50,804
For decades,
this is all I've done.

310
00:22:50,847 --> 00:22:52,066
I know.

311
00:22:52,109 --> 00:22:53,807
Just searching and...
for life in space.

312
00:22:53,850 --> 00:22:55,635
And this whole time you thought
if we found something

313
00:22:55,678 --> 00:22:57,898
we were just gonna keep it to
ourselves? I

314
00:22:57,941 --> 00:23:00,291
Well, I mean, I thought we
would find a single-celled

315
00:23:00,335 --> 00:23:01,423
amoeba.

316
00:23:02,293 --> 00:23:03,686
But Dyson spheres...

317
00:23:03,730 --> 00:23:04,861
Yeah.

318
00:23:04,905 --> 00:23:06,472
...advanced civilization.

319
00:23:06,515 --> 00:23:08,561
We are not ready for this.

320
00:23:10,998 --> 00:23:14,393
Think about what we already
have in our very near future,

321
00:23:14,436 --> 00:23:17,439
genetic engineering,
artificial intelligence,

322
00:23:17,483 --> 00:23:20,094
ecological collapse.

323
00:23:20,616 --> 00:23:21,835
We can't even handle that.

324
00:23:31,279 --> 00:23:33,716
You have such little
faith in humanity.

325
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,984
Not without reason.

326
00:24:14,844 --> 00:24:17,064
Hey, what's the matter?

327
00:24:17,717 --> 00:24:19,240
My mind's racing.

328
00:24:19,283 --> 00:24:20,763
You gonna go for a drive?

329
00:24:20,807 --> 00:24:21,895
Yeah.

330
00:24:21,938 --> 00:24:23,331
All right, well just
be safe, okay?

331
00:24:23,374 --> 00:24:24,724
I will.

332
00:27:09,105 --> 00:27:10,411
Ah, come on!

333
00:27:22,989 --> 00:27:24,468
Where do you think
that came from?

334
00:27:25,252 --> 00:27:26,383
I don't know.

335
00:28:04,726 --> 00:28:06,162
Hey bud, what are you doing?

336
00:28:07,381 --> 00:28:09,644
Power's out. I'm trying
to get Wi-Fi.

337
00:28:11,211 --> 00:28:13,213
Why don't you just
use your phone?

338
00:28:13,256 --> 00:28:14,867
Mobile's down as well.

339
00:28:17,043 --> 00:28:18,218
Is that my laptop?

340
00:28:18,784 --> 00:28:20,002
Yep.

341
00:28:20,742 --> 00:28:22,701
Do you know my password?

342
00:28:22,744 --> 00:28:24,920
Reddwarf1979.

343
00:28:25,791 --> 00:28:27,096
Huh.

344
00:28:27,749 --> 00:28:29,011
What are you guys up to?

345
00:28:31,666 --> 00:28:33,799
The cell network's down.
He's trying to find internet.

346
00:29:19,322 --> 00:29:20,671
Nice shot.

347
00:29:54,749 --> 00:29:56,533
Kids, get to
the house, now, go.

348
00:29:56,577 --> 00:29:57,796
Go, go, go.

349
00:30:07,544 --> 00:30:09,677
Go, go, go, go. Get inside.

350
00:30:20,862 --> 00:30:21,558
Kids, grab some clothes.
We're leaving.

351
00:30:21,602 --> 00:30:22,646
Look after the kids.

352
00:30:23,212 --> 00:30:24,387
Oh, my

353
00:30:53,373 --> 00:30:54,548
Dad...

354
00:30:55,070 --> 00:30:56,942
don't go.

355
00:30:58,073 --> 00:31:00,771
It's going to be okay.
Take those papers.

356
00:31:47,166 --> 00:31:48,645
Frankie, the gun!

357
00:32:04,009 --> 00:32:05,271
Mom, what's happening?

358
00:32:05,314 --> 00:32:06,489
I don't know.

359
00:32:20,242 --> 00:32:22,027
Ooh! Oh, my gosh!
Mom, I got it!

360
00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:23,637
Maddy, careful!

361
00:32:57,323 --> 00:32:58,454
Daniel!

362
00:33:17,996 --> 00:33:19,736
Daniel, let's go, let's go,
let's go!

363
00:33:21,347 --> 00:33:22,696
Get in!

364
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:25,873
Everyone okay?

365
00:33:48,548 --> 00:33:49,679
Holy shit!

366
00:34:38,728 --> 00:34:40,121
Maddy, get out.

367
00:34:42,254 --> 00:34:43,342
You two okay?

368
00:34:43,385 --> 00:34:44,647
Yeah.

369
00:34:44,691 --> 00:34:46,214
What was that?

370
00:34:46,258 --> 00:34:49,087
I don't know. We're okay
though, right? Okay, let's go.

371
00:34:54,744 --> 00:34:55,658
Here.

372
00:35:01,011 --> 00:35:02,752
I emailed the printouts
to Teddy.

373
00:35:05,581 --> 00:35:06,974
What?!

374
00:35:10,673 --> 00:35:13,067
So, wait, 959 blew
up the shed?

375
00:35:13,111 --> 00:35:15,200
No, that's impossible.
They're light years away.

376
00:35:15,243 --> 00:35:17,637
What about, um, wormholes?

377
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:18,942
Wormholes are nonsense, honey.

378
00:35:18,986 --> 00:35:20,640
Wormholes are not nonsense.

379
00:35:20,683 --> 00:35:23,730
Okay, do you think that 959
travelled here in a wormhole

380
00:35:23,773 --> 00:35:24,992
last night, Michelle?

381
00:35:25,035 --> 00:35:26,602
No, I didn't think so.

382
00:35:26,646 --> 00:35:28,343
It's the government.
They're trying to keep us quiet.

383
00:35:28,387 --> 00:35:29,344
Everyone turn off your phones.

384
00:35:29,388 --> 00:35:30,824
I left mine at the house.

385
00:35:31,607 --> 00:35:33,261
They know
about the bunker.

386
00:35:33,305 --> 00:35:34,958
What were the drones
looking for?

387
00:35:37,483 --> 00:35:38,788
I don't know.

388
00:35:40,486 --> 00:35:42,401
So, what do we do
now?

389
00:35:44,229 --> 00:35:45,839
We head upstate.

390
00:35:49,582 --> 00:35:50,713
Ming's?

391
00:35:50,757 --> 00:35:52,889
Really?
We get to meet Grandpa?

392
00:35:54,195 --> 00:35:55,805
Well, he would know how
the government would respond

393
00:35:55,849 --> 00:35:57,416
in this situation.

394
00:35:58,678 --> 00:36:00,070
It's true.

395
00:36:00,723 --> 00:36:03,030
Yeah, so we don't have
much of a choice.

396
00:37:41,433 --> 00:37:43,043
Dad, I'm hungry.

397
00:37:47,613 --> 00:37:48,831
Me too, sweetheart.

398
00:38:21,777 --> 00:38:23,431
I think there's someone
in there.

399
00:38:39,491 --> 00:38:42,537
Hey there. How y'all doin'?

400
00:38:42,581 --> 00:38:44,147
Okay. How are you?

401
00:38:44,191 --> 00:38:45,801
I'm good.

402
00:38:45,845 --> 00:38:47,890
I'm Daniel, this is Michelle,
and these are our children,

403
00:38:47,934 --> 00:38:49,327
Francois and Maddy.

404
00:38:49,370 --> 00:38:51,067
It's nice to make
your acquaintance.

405
00:38:51,111 --> 00:38:55,507
I'm Sam, and uh, th-, come on,
this is my granddaughter,

406
00:38:55,550 --> 00:38:56,725
Eloise.

407
00:38:58,336 --> 00:38:59,902
Sorry to intrude,
but have you heard anything

408
00:38:59,946 --> 00:39:01,295
about what's going on?

409
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:03,689
Come on in. Come on.

410
00:39:05,081 --> 00:39:07,127
An army cadet biked through
yesterday.

411
00:39:07,170 --> 00:39:09,390
Fella kept telling
folks to shelter in place.

412
00:39:10,043 --> 00:39:11,523
You guys hear anything?

413
00:39:11,566 --> 00:39:12,741
No, unfortunately
not.

414
00:39:14,047 --> 00:39:15,440
You folks hungry?

415
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:21,489
Coffee?

416
00:39:22,447 --> 00:39:23,491
Yes.

417
00:39:25,406 --> 00:39:26,842
So uh, this is your place?

418
00:39:28,670 --> 00:39:30,150
About 16 months now.

419
00:39:30,542 --> 00:39:33,022
It's pretty new then.
What did you do before?

420
00:39:35,329 --> 00:39:36,983
I was a veterinarian.

421
00:39:37,679 --> 00:39:39,377
Had to give that up, though.

422
00:39:40,203 --> 00:39:41,291
Hmm.

423
00:39:42,945 --> 00:39:44,904
I get the feeling I'm not
supposed to ask you why,

424
00:39:44,947 --> 00:39:47,080
but I kinda can't help myself.

425
00:39:48,473 --> 00:39:52,215
Well, I'll spare you the sad
details.

426
00:39:52,259 --> 00:39:56,263
But, I lost my wife
to a pretty wicked sickness.

427
00:39:57,395 --> 00:39:58,874
And after that...

428
00:40:00,746 --> 00:40:03,444
I couldn't put down a dog, cat,
or even a hamster

429
00:40:03,488 --> 00:40:05,272
without tearing up.

430
00:40:05,315 --> 00:40:08,144
Oh, Sam, I'm sorry.

431
00:40:09,581 --> 00:40:11,409
That's okay.

432
00:40:12,322 --> 00:40:13,759
That's life.

433
00:40:14,281 --> 00:40:15,543
It's beautiful.

434
00:40:17,371 --> 00:40:18,938
But sad sometimes, too.

435
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,988
Anyhow, I moved up here
to be closer to my son,

436
00:40:26,467 --> 00:40:31,254
and to look after Eloise from
time to time, which is nice.

437
00:40:31,298 --> 00:40:32,386
Yeah.

438
00:40:34,910 --> 00:40:37,043
Her parents are on a canoe
trip up north.

439
00:40:37,696 --> 00:40:40,133
Supposed to be back yesterday
morning, but...

440
00:40:42,744 --> 00:40:45,617
all the gas stations ran dry
when the blackout hit.

441
00:40:47,706 --> 00:40:50,448
So, my guess is, they're
stranded up there.

442
00:40:53,015 --> 00:40:55,757
Trying to round up enough fuel
so I can go fetch 'em.

443
00:40:57,542 --> 00:41:01,459
Ah, Sam, wish I could help.

444
00:41:09,510 --> 00:41:11,120
Come on!

445
00:41:12,513 --> 00:41:13,601
What is it?

446
00:41:13,645 --> 00:41:15,211
The battery
went out.

447
00:41:30,575 --> 00:41:31,619
What do you got there?

448
00:41:32,794 --> 00:41:34,492
Just the lost and found.

449
00:41:40,454 --> 00:41:41,934
No way!

450
00:42:01,997 --> 00:42:03,390
Do you mind if I uh...

451
00:42:05,479 --> 00:42:07,089
No, you can have it.

452
00:42:08,221 --> 00:42:10,310
Yeah? Thank you.

453
00:42:15,184 --> 00:42:19,537
You know, that's new,
having that door locked.

454
00:42:20,059 --> 00:42:21,321
Yeah?

455
00:42:23,018 --> 00:42:26,065
Didn't take more than about
six hours of no power or phones

456
00:42:26,108 --> 00:42:28,023
before my mind started thinking
the worst.

457
00:42:30,591 --> 00:42:33,376
Well, I am grateful you
opened your door to our family.

458
00:42:34,334 --> 00:42:36,858
Well, the whole reason
I started this place is because

459
00:42:36,902 --> 00:42:38,164
I love welcoming folks.

460
00:42:38,207 --> 00:42:39,208
Yeah.

461
00:42:39,252 --> 00:42:40,427
Y'know, hearing of their
travels,

462
00:42:40,470 --> 00:42:41,950
where they're off to next.

463
00:42:43,909 --> 00:42:46,302
In my mind, that's who I am,
welcoming to one and all.

464
00:42:46,346 --> 00:42:47,303
Hmm.

465
00:42:47,347 --> 00:42:48,522
Didn't matter where from.

466
00:42:48,566 --> 00:42:49,828
I was happy to have 'em.

467
00:42:53,745 --> 00:42:55,877
Can I be really honest with
you about something?

468
00:42:59,272 --> 00:43:00,665
Yeah, of course.

469
00:43:02,667 --> 00:43:04,669
Something scared me today.

470
00:43:04,712 --> 00:43:06,714
More than the power outage,

471
00:43:06,758 --> 00:43:08,411
or the cadet,

472
00:43:08,455 --> 00:43:10,196
or even the drones.

473
00:43:15,157 --> 00:43:18,073
When you walked up
to the front door today...

474
00:43:21,207 --> 00:43:23,601
...I hesitated
before I let you in.

475
00:43:24,297 --> 00:43:26,821
I want to tell myself
that's because

476
00:43:26,865 --> 00:43:29,563
I may have to ration
our supplies,

477
00:43:29,607 --> 00:43:31,609
be smart for my
granddaughter but...

478
00:43:33,567 --> 00:43:35,395
...I'm not certain
that's the truth.

479
00:43:37,527 --> 00:43:40,835
Perhaps the truth is,
I hesitated...

480
00:43:42,315 --> 00:43:44,056
...because you're different.

481
00:43:46,406 --> 00:43:48,060
I mean...

482
00:43:49,583 --> 00:43:51,803
...we're strangers.

483
00:43:51,846 --> 00:43:53,979
It's a strange time.
Yeah.

484
00:43:56,416 --> 00:43:58,287
I always believed myself
to be a decent...

485
00:43:59,332 --> 00:44:00,550
...a decent man.

486
00:44:02,727 --> 00:44:05,338
But perhaps I'm not being
honest with myself.

487
00:44:08,254 --> 00:44:10,169
Perhaps, deep down...

488
00:44:11,736 --> 00:44:12,998
...I'm rotten.

489
00:44:21,006 --> 00:44:23,356
But what really scared
me was the th-

490
00:44:26,141 --> 00:44:29,971
...the thought that maybe,
just...

491
00:44:30,842 --> 00:44:32,582
...just maybe...

492
00:44:34,367 --> 00:44:36,064
we're all rotten.

493
00:44:51,993 --> 00:44:53,691
I didn't get
anything on the CB.

494
00:44:54,256 --> 00:44:55,780
You sound surprised.

495
00:44:55,823 --> 00:44:57,303
I know we're in the middle
of nowhere.

496
00:44:57,346 --> 00:44:58,173
No offense.

497
00:44:59,218 --> 00:45:01,263
None taken, young man.

498
00:45:01,307 --> 00:45:04,440
But even at the farm,
I picked up tons of chatter.

499
00:45:05,137 --> 00:45:06,529
And with the internet
and phones out,

500
00:45:06,573 --> 00:45:08,488
I thought people would have been
using their radios.

501
00:45:08,923 --> 00:45:10,577
Yeah, that is weird.

502
00:45:11,230 --> 00:45:12,797
And the static
sounds weird, too.

503
00:45:13,406 --> 00:45:14,668
How so?

504
00:45:16,322 --> 00:45:17,584
Like an empty channel usually
sounds like a deep crackle.

505
00:45:17,627 --> 00:45:20,543
This static sounds more like
a high-pitched hum.

506
00:45:21,022 --> 00:45:22,154
Let me see that.

507
00:45:49,268 --> 00:45:51,052
It's too bad my other
granddaughter, Allison,

508
00:45:51,096 --> 00:45:52,401
isn't here.

509
00:45:52,445 --> 00:45:54,577
She's great with technical
stuff.

510
00:45:54,621 --> 00:45:56,231
Where is she?

511
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,105
She walked over
to the next town.

512
00:46:00,148 --> 00:46:01,933
Trying to see
what she can find out.

513
00:46:27,132 --> 00:46:29,047
Eloise, give me a hand?

514
00:46:44,279 --> 00:46:45,411
Maybe we should head out?

515
00:46:45,890 --> 00:46:47,108
Yeah, let's go.

516
00:46:53,114 --> 00:46:54,507
Hittin' the road?

517
00:46:54,550 --> 00:46:56,509
Yeah, we should probably
keep moving.

518
00:46:57,902 --> 00:46:59,164
Thank you, Sam.

519
00:46:59,207 --> 00:47:01,383
No, it's my pleasure.
Be safe out there.

520
00:47:01,427 --> 00:47:02,645
Yeah, you too.

521
00:47:04,909 --> 00:47:05,910
Thanks again.

522
00:47:05,953 --> 00:47:07,128
Michelle...

523
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:19,271
Sorry.

524
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,164
What the?

525
00:48:08,929 --> 00:48:09,974
You okay?

526
00:48:11,845 --> 00:48:13,238
Yeah, let's just
get outta here.

527
00:48:13,281 --> 00:48:15,283
How far are we
from town?

528
00:48:15,980 --> 00:48:16,850
Which town?

529
00:48:16,894 --> 00:48:18,243
Our town.

530
00:48:18,939 --> 00:48:20,636
Very far. Why?

531
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,508
I just saw a car
from the gas station

532
00:48:22,551 --> 00:48:24,379
where you filled the jerry cans.

533
00:48:28,340 --> 00:48:29,776
Like a similar car?

534
00:48:29,819 --> 00:48:31,473
The exact same one.

535
00:48:31,517 --> 00:48:34,694
Francois and I played tic tac
toe on the windshield.

536
00:48:39,917 --> 00:48:41,179
It's parked back there.

537
00:48:42,658 --> 00:48:44,269
Was there anyone else there?

538
00:49:10,338 --> 00:49:11,557
It's following us.

539
00:49:36,364 --> 00:49:38,671
Okay, we're, we're about 30
miles from the next town,

540
00:49:38,714 --> 00:49:40,020
so maybe we can lose them.

541
00:49:40,064 --> 00:49:41,630
What? We shouldn't be
out of gas.

542
00:49:42,196 --> 00:49:43,458
Oh, shit!

543
00:49:43,502 --> 00:49:44,677
What?

544
00:49:45,808 --> 00:49:47,201
Sam stole our gas.

545
00:49:48,855 --> 00:49:50,726
He stole our gas? How?

546
00:49:50,770 --> 00:49:53,468
I don't know, but when I was
leaving, he made it very clear

547
00:49:53,512 --> 00:49:55,296
that we were not welcome back.

548
00:50:03,522 --> 00:50:05,915
Okay, maybe I can speed up
through this tunnel,

549
00:50:05,959 --> 00:50:07,395
and then we can pull over
on the side,

550
00:50:07,439 --> 00:50:08,483
and then shoot the tires out.

551
00:50:10,877 --> 00:50:12,096
Everybody, hang on.

552
00:50:32,638 --> 00:50:34,161
Daniel, stop, stop.

553
00:50:39,775 --> 00:50:43,257
I think it's being controlled
remotely.

554
00:50:43,301 --> 00:50:44,476
What?

555
00:50:45,868 --> 00:50:47,870
If it enters the tunnel,
it'll lose connection.

556
00:50:47,914 --> 00:50:49,611
Then let's go.

557
00:50:57,315 --> 00:50:58,490
We can't.

558
00:51:13,809 --> 00:51:14,854
Goddammit!

559
00:51:43,187 --> 00:51:45,232
You think other
countries are blacked out, too?

560
00:51:46,364 --> 00:51:47,843
I've been watching
for planes

561
00:51:47,887 --> 00:51:49,410
since the grid shut down.

562
00:51:50,194 --> 00:51:51,847
Haven't seen even one.

563
00:51:52,718 --> 00:51:54,676
But there's gotta be
a network, right?

564
00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:56,635
The drones and self-driving
cars.

565
00:52:00,421 --> 00:52:02,031
What if...

566
00:52:03,555 --> 00:52:05,905
...what if the network's
not actually down?

567
00:52:05,948 --> 00:52:08,037
Francois, turn on
your radio again.

568
00:52:13,782 --> 00:52:15,436
The static sounds normal now.

569
00:52:16,089 --> 00:52:18,178
Yeah, because we're in
a concrete shell.

570
00:52:18,222 --> 00:52:20,093
You're not getting any signals.

571
00:52:21,094 --> 00:52:24,097
It's impossible to shut down
radio communication.

572
00:52:24,141 --> 00:52:26,491
So someone flooded it
with signals instead.

573
00:52:27,448 --> 00:52:28,971
Must be the same thing
with the internet,

574
00:52:29,015 --> 00:52:30,756
it's up, just flooded.

575
00:52:32,888 --> 00:52:35,239
Why would someone
shut down the radios?

576
00:52:37,371 --> 00:52:38,851
I don't know.

577
00:52:41,201 --> 00:52:43,595
But they can't reach
us in here, right?

578
00:53:31,947 --> 00:53:33,688
Ahh!

579
00:53:46,962 --> 00:53:47,920
Come on!

580
00:54:28,526 --> 00:54:29,875
Help me cut
the battery

581
00:54:29,918 --> 00:54:31,659
and push the car out
of the way.

582
00:54:56,380 --> 00:54:58,120
Daniel, look.

583
00:55:03,082 --> 00:55:04,344
They're probably
trying to connect

584
00:55:04,388 --> 00:55:05,693
to the solar panels.

585
00:55:20,665 --> 00:55:22,231
Should we pull over?

586
00:55:30,501 --> 00:55:32,546
We're only 500
miles from Ming's.

587
00:55:34,548 --> 00:55:35,767
I have an idea.

588
00:56:18,592 --> 00:56:20,072
Let's go, Maddy!

589
00:56:27,471 --> 00:56:28,907
Perfect.

590
00:56:48,274 --> 00:56:49,580
Half an inch.

591
00:56:51,190 --> 00:56:54,367
The perimeter of the tank
is about 114 inches in width,

592
00:56:54,411 --> 00:56:56,804
and 144 inches in length.

593
00:56:57,283 --> 00:56:58,980
How many cubic
inches in a gallon?

594
00:56:59,024 --> 00:57:00,025
231.

595
00:57:00,068 --> 00:57:01,592
Attaboy.

596
00:57:01,635 --> 00:57:03,463
All right, so that's 35
gallons of gas down there.

597
00:57:03,507 --> 00:57:05,857
Maddy, how many five-gallon
jugs is that?

598
00:57:06,988 --> 00:57:09,077
Seven jugs of water coming up.

599
00:57:10,296 --> 00:57:12,298
You don't even understand
what we're doing, do you?

600
00:57:13,255 --> 00:57:14,822
Water is more dense
than gasoline.

601
00:57:14,866 --> 00:57:18,826
So, if we displace the
exact amount of gas with water,

602
00:57:18,870 --> 00:57:20,828
only the gas can get pumped out.

603
00:57:35,756 --> 00:57:37,497
Overhearing the plan
isn't the same

604
00:57:37,541 --> 00:57:38,672
as understanding it.

605
00:57:39,368 --> 00:57:40,457
Shut up, Frankie.

606
00:58:17,581 --> 00:58:18,538
How's it going
over there?

607
00:58:18,582 --> 00:58:19,757
Almost there.

608
00:58:21,193 --> 00:58:22,847
You're the biggest nerd
in a family full of nerds.

609
00:58:22,890 --> 00:58:23,935
Hey!

610
00:58:23,978 --> 00:58:24,936
What do you mean?

611
00:58:24,979 --> 00:58:25,893
Well, you all are!

612
00:58:25,937 --> 00:58:26,720
Done!

613
00:58:26,764 --> 00:58:27,765
Good, get over here.

614
00:58:31,116 --> 00:58:32,465
We ready?

615
00:58:49,656 --> 00:58:51,049
Yeah!

616
00:58:51,092 --> 00:58:52,093
Good job, buddy!

617
00:58:52,529 --> 00:58:53,878
Good job, sweetie.

618
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,264
How are you feeling?

619
01:00:17,526 --> 01:00:19,572
Just about... about seeing your
dad again?

620
01:00:22,314 --> 01:00:23,707
I'll be fine.

621
01:00:25,752 --> 01:00:28,189
You haven't changed your
feelings about him at all?

622
01:00:29,669 --> 01:00:31,410
Changed my feelings?

623
01:00:33,499 --> 01:00:34,631
You know what I mean.

624
01:00:38,286 --> 01:00:42,464
He left me alone to watch
my mother die

625
01:00:42,508 --> 01:00:45,598
while he was off working
on some secret project.

626
01:00:45,642 --> 01:00:48,253
That doesn't just go away.

627
01:00:54,259 --> 01:00:56,087
You know, you're just like him.

628
01:00:58,350 --> 01:01:00,700
Our kids should be home, safe,

629
01:01:00,744 --> 01:01:04,617
but you just had to let the
world know how smart you are.

630
01:02:11,249 --> 01:02:12,816
Why don't you guys stay here?

631
01:02:26,743 --> 01:02:27,961
Ming?

632
01:02:50,027 --> 01:02:51,637
I don't think he's here.

633
01:02:53,552 --> 01:02:55,075
There's a Faraday cage
back there,

634
01:02:55,119 --> 01:02:56,816
but the generator's not on.

635
01:03:21,493 --> 01:03:23,451
It's lovely to see you,
Michelle.

636
01:03:29,501 --> 01:03:32,330
How are you? Are you well?

637
01:03:33,548 --> 01:03:35,550
I've been...

638
01:03:40,294 --> 01:03:42,470
Well, look at these
beautiful children!

639
01:03:42,514 --> 01:03:43,602
Hi.

640
01:03:43,645 --> 01:03:45,082
Hello, young man.

641
01:03:45,125 --> 01:03:48,389
I hear so much about you
and your brilliant mind.

642
01:03:48,781 --> 01:03:52,132
And this brave, young lady who
fears nothing and no one.

643
01:03:53,264 --> 01:03:54,482
It's an absolute pleasure.

644
01:03:55,309 --> 01:03:56,833
Do we call you
Grandpa?

645
01:03:58,965 --> 01:04:02,664
Uh, perhaps your mother would
like me to earn such a title,

646
01:04:02,708 --> 01:04:05,189
with at least a few moments
of kindness.

647
01:04:06,016 --> 01:04:08,018
The first of which,
with your parents' blessing,

648
01:04:08,061 --> 01:04:10,977
I suggest be ice cream.

649
01:04:18,245 --> 01:04:19,246
Good to see you, Daniel.

650
01:04:19,290 --> 01:04:20,552
Good to see you, Ming.

651
01:04:22,206 --> 01:04:25,644
One thing for certain
that makes life worth living,

652
01:04:25,687 --> 01:04:27,298
is mint chocolate chip.

653
01:04:27,689 --> 01:04:28,908
You have ice cream?

654
01:04:43,401 --> 01:04:47,927
I need to talk to you, Ming.
Really need your help.

655
01:04:50,974 --> 01:04:54,934
I found something, and we don't
have a whole lot of time,

656
01:04:54,978 --> 01:04:57,328
so I'd love for you to look
at some of these files I have

657
01:04:57,371 --> 01:04:58,590
and go

658
01:04:59,983 --> 01:05:03,334
Daniel, let me have this
moment.

659
01:05:09,906 --> 01:05:10,950
Thank you.

660
01:05:13,039 --> 01:05:16,564
Francois, your father tells me
you're quite a chess player,

661
01:05:16,608 --> 01:05:18,915
but maybe not as good as Maddy
here.

662
01:05:19,524 --> 01:05:20,960
He's lying.

663
01:05:21,004 --> 01:05:23,093
Ah, don't worry about
it. It's just a rumor.

664
01:05:23,136 --> 01:05:25,312
Who knows how these things
get started?

665
01:06:43,738 --> 01:06:46,698
Can't believe we ever thought
we could improve on this.

666
01:06:52,573 --> 01:06:55,141
Maybe we just needed
something to fill our days.

667
01:06:58,014 --> 01:07:02,018
Took me a long time to get
used to sitting still.

668
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:07,327
Was hit with a ton of sadness
when I finally did.

669
01:07:11,984 --> 01:07:14,117
I needed you back then, Dad.

670
01:07:20,036 --> 01:07:22,081
I'm not sure I could
ever forgive you.

671
01:07:25,563 --> 01:07:29,088
I didn't expect you would.
Or even think you should.

672
01:07:31,830 --> 01:07:33,832
But if it's okay with you,

673
01:07:33,875 --> 01:07:36,878
I'd like to savor you being here
all the same.

674
01:07:44,234 --> 01:07:46,932
Did you get a chance to
look at Daniel's files?

675
01:07:49,848 --> 01:07:50,675
Yeah.

676
01:07:52,938 --> 01:07:54,200
And?

677
01:07:59,379 --> 01:08:01,077
I guess we'd better
wake Daniel.

678
01:08:06,082 --> 01:08:08,127
It's not the government
that's following you.

679
01:08:09,694 --> 01:08:11,130
Who is it then?

680
01:08:13,698 --> 01:08:16,135
For thousands of years,
human beings have been

681
01:08:16,179 --> 01:08:18,268
the dominant species
on this planet.

682
01:08:21,967 --> 01:08:23,838
But that's no longer the case.

683
01:08:29,235 --> 01:08:32,412
About seven years ago,
a team of engineers developed

684
01:08:32,456 --> 01:08:34,632
the first artificial
consciousness.

685
01:08:37,635 --> 01:08:41,029
We were strict about not
allowing the AI access

686
01:08:41,073 --> 01:08:42,466
to the internet.

687
01:08:44,163 --> 01:08:46,470
But the engineers couldn't
resist seeing their work's

688
01:08:46,513 --> 01:08:48,124
full potential.

689
01:08:48,472 --> 01:08:51,866
They decided to smuggle
a network hub into the lab.

690
01:08:53,390 --> 01:08:55,348
But as soon as the AI
was online,

691
01:08:55,392 --> 01:08:57,916
it stopped communicating.

692
01:09:02,964 --> 01:09:04,270
Come on.

693
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:14,585
How did you
know about all this?

694
01:09:18,066 --> 01:09:21,635
Because I was the senior
safety engineer on the project.

695
01:09:24,682 --> 01:09:27,641
Soon after that,
the NSA shut us down.

696
01:09:28,468 --> 01:09:30,514
Scattered engineers across
other projects and...

697
01:09:33,038 --> 01:09:34,692
forced me into retirement.

698
01:09:36,389 --> 01:09:38,435
Why didn't you tell me this?

699
01:09:41,307 --> 01:09:44,180
I never talked about this
outside the lab. Not to anyone.

700
01:09:45,790 --> 01:09:48,140
Not even to your mother.

701
01:09:58,281 --> 01:10:00,065
But I continued my work.

702
01:10:00,108 --> 01:10:03,634
I even designed a virus to
attack its foundational design.

703
01:10:05,288 --> 01:10:08,291
But I got stuck
on the motivation problem.

704
01:10:10,031 --> 01:10:11,381
What kind of virus?

705
01:10:12,860 --> 01:10:13,905
Here.

706
01:10:17,778 --> 01:10:19,476
Have a look for yourself.

707
01:10:23,175 --> 01:10:24,045
Cool.

708
01:10:25,656 --> 01:10:26,874
What was
the motivation problem

709
01:10:26,918 --> 01:10:28,180
you were stuck on?

710
01:10:29,312 --> 01:10:31,749
It was like I was trying
to set a bear trap,

711
01:10:31,792 --> 01:10:34,186
but I don't know what a bear
likes to eat.

712
01:10:35,405 --> 01:10:37,929
Or if the bear eats at all.

713
01:10:47,852 --> 01:10:51,116
For years, the artificial
intelligence did nothing.

714
01:10:51,595 --> 01:10:53,945
Why did your email change that?

715
01:10:58,515 --> 01:10:59,690
I knew it was AI.

716
01:11:00,125 --> 01:11:01,257
No, you didn't.

717
01:11:02,780 --> 01:11:03,998
Yeah, cause um, when the page
requests were so high,

718
01:11:04,042 --> 01:11:05,043
I thought

719
01:11:05,086 --> 01:11:06,305
You're just trying
to show off.

720
01:11:06,349 --> 01:11:07,611
No, I'm not!

721
01:11:08,699 --> 01:11:10,831
Does the AGI view
959 as a threat?

722
01:11:12,485 --> 01:11:14,226
Maybe.

723
01:11:14,879 --> 01:11:17,751
Maybe a threat to us,
maybe a threat to itself.

724
01:11:17,795 --> 01:11:19,100
Not sure.

725
01:11:20,667 --> 01:11:23,757
So, that's it for us?
We're not in charge anymore?

726
01:11:25,019 --> 01:11:27,370
It seems the golden age
of humanity

727
01:11:27,413 --> 01:11:29,589
has come to an unceremonious
end.

728
01:11:33,158 --> 01:11:34,899
But you're left with
a difficult choice.

729
01:11:35,987 --> 01:11:39,207
To either let an artificial
general intelligence subsume

730
01:11:39,251 --> 01:11:42,602
control over our planet, or...

731
01:11:44,300 --> 01:11:48,304
send a signal to the stars
in hopes of a better future.

732
01:11:56,877 --> 01:11:58,618
That's not our
decision to make.

733
01:12:01,795 --> 01:12:03,144
Maybe not.

734
01:12:04,363 --> 01:12:06,409
But no one else knows
what's out there.

735
01:12:58,896 --> 01:13:00,463
This can't really be
happening, right?

736
01:13:00,506 --> 01:13:01,725
I mean, this is so surreal.

737
01:13:01,768 --> 01:13:03,335
I know.

738
01:13:06,817 --> 01:13:08,993
Any lean on what you think
we should be doing?

739
01:13:13,911 --> 01:13:15,652
I don't think we should
send the signal.

740
01:13:19,917 --> 01:13:22,136
There are too many unknowns
with an alien civilization,

741
01:13:22,180 --> 01:13:24,574
and when it comes to AGI,
it's something we created.

742
01:13:25,313 --> 01:13:27,751
So, we might be able to
have an understanding.

743
01:13:27,794 --> 01:13:31,407
Strange, I don't feel like
I understand it at all,

744
01:13:31,450 --> 01:13:33,452
and I don't feel like
there's been much room

745
01:13:33,496 --> 01:13:34,801
for a conversation.

746
01:13:35,193 --> 01:13:36,281
We haven't really tried.

747
01:13:36,324 --> 01:13:37,587
Yeah, it bombed our house.

748
01:13:37,630 --> 01:13:38,936
It bombed the shed.

749
01:13:39,197 --> 01:13:41,242
And it's been following
us, but hasn't hurt us.

750
01:13:42,635 --> 01:13:44,724
For all we know,
it's trying to protect us.

751
01:13:45,899 --> 01:13:48,119
I don't know, I have a lot of
trouble trusting some robot

752
01:13:48,162 --> 01:13:49,903
my dad helped build.

753
01:13:49,947 --> 01:13:52,428
I think robot seems
a little derisive.

754
01:13:55,735 --> 01:13:59,304
You know, it's strange. I had
the exact opposite instinct.

755
01:14:00,044 --> 01:14:02,742
If we had to choose between AGI
and 959,

756
01:14:02,786 --> 01:14:06,050
which one offers us the most
hope for the future

757
01:14:06,093 --> 01:14:07,660
of our ecosphere?

758
01:14:07,704 --> 01:14:10,054
Not just for human beings,
but for all living beings.

759
01:14:10,097 --> 01:14:12,273
When it comes to an alien
civilization,

760
01:14:12,317 --> 01:14:15,494
we have zero information
to go on.

761
01:14:15,538 --> 01:14:19,237
Where in seven years, the AGI,
that horse, the crickets,

762
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:22,240
the trees, they don't seem to be
affected by any of this.

763
01:14:22,283 --> 01:14:24,111
The natural world is continuing
on

764
01:14:24,155 --> 01:14:26,287
as if nothing happened at all.

765
01:14:26,331 --> 01:14:30,378
If we send an SOS into space,
Michelle...

766
01:14:31,858 --> 01:14:35,514
the range of possibilities
becomes infinite,

767
01:14:35,558 --> 01:14:38,952
including a space war,
which we will most surely lose.

768
01:14:38,996 --> 01:14:41,520
959 hasn't blown themselves
up,

769
01:14:41,564 --> 01:14:44,131
or trashed their ecosystem
the way we have.

770
01:14:44,697 --> 01:14:48,309
They have survived
and cooperated harmoniously,

771
01:14:48,353 --> 01:14:50,529
long enough to build Dyson
spheres.

772
01:14:50,573 --> 01:14:53,532
That requires a cultural
evolution

773
01:14:53,576 --> 01:14:55,012
that we lack as humans.

774
01:14:55,055 --> 01:14:57,014
What about ants?
They're efficient builders.

775
01:14:57,057 --> 01:14:58,189
Would you call them culturally
evolved?

776
01:15:00,974 --> 01:15:02,236
You know, you're looking for
the path that's most likely

777
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:04,151
to take us back to the world
the way it was.

778
01:15:04,195 --> 01:15:05,501
Of course I am.

779
01:15:09,505 --> 01:15:11,724
I'm not looking for the best
path back.

780
01:15:11,768 --> 01:15:13,900
I'm looking for the best path,
period.

781
01:15:16,163 --> 01:15:18,644
That is a giant gamble
when...

782
01:15:19,427 --> 01:15:21,778
when you're risking
the entire knowable world.

783
01:15:22,605 --> 01:15:28,393
I don't think it's any riskier
than letting AGI take over.

784
01:15:32,092 --> 01:15:33,964
We just can't know.
No.

785
01:15:36,444 --> 01:15:38,011
We're just gonna have to guess.

786
01:15:39,535 --> 01:15:40,753
And quickly.

787
01:15:40,797 --> 01:15:43,582
In 16 hours, 959 will orbit
behind its star,

788
01:15:43,626 --> 01:15:47,586
and we lose the ability to send
a signal to it for two years.

789
01:16:32,675 --> 01:16:33,676
Hey.

790
01:16:33,719 --> 01:16:34,894
Hey.

791
01:16:34,938 --> 01:16:36,548
Before we go, can
I ask you something?

792
01:16:36,940 --> 01:16:38,332
Yeah, what's up?

793
01:16:42,685 --> 01:16:44,687
Um, I was thinking a lot...

794
01:16:47,385 --> 01:16:49,256
about what we talked about
last night.

795
01:16:49,300 --> 01:16:51,302
Yeah, I've been thinking
a lot about it, too.

796
01:16:51,345 --> 01:16:53,086
It doesn't matter to me
what we choose.

797
01:16:57,351 --> 01:16:59,876
I stayed up all night going
back and forth on it and I...

798
01:17:01,225 --> 01:17:03,009
I realize...

799
01:17:04,402 --> 01:17:06,796
all that matters is spending
the rest of my life with you.

800
01:17:09,929 --> 01:17:14,238
So, hoping against all odds...

801
01:17:18,590 --> 01:17:20,418
that you'll marry me.

802
01:17:21,506 --> 01:17:22,855
Daniel.

803
01:17:29,775 --> 01:17:31,211
Daniel, I'm

804
01:17:31,255 --> 01:17:32,865
I love you more than
anything in this world.

805
01:17:36,564 --> 01:17:38,044
Yeah, I love you, too.

806
01:17:38,088 --> 01:17:41,918
You're still the same guy
that I met in college. But...

807
01:17:45,617 --> 01:17:50,013
...for us to have a future,
you'd have to evolve.

808
01:17:51,928 --> 01:17:54,495
I will. I'll change.

809
01:17:55,975 --> 01:17:57,368
You always say that.

810
01:18:00,850 --> 01:18:02,242
I'm gonna prove it this time.

811
01:18:02,939 --> 01:18:04,114
Oh yeah?
Yeah.

812
01:18:09,641 --> 01:18:11,687
All right, ask me then.

813
01:18:19,216 --> 01:18:20,696
Where are we going?

814
01:18:21,348 --> 01:18:22,698
Greenbank,
West Virigina.

815
01:18:22,741 --> 01:18:24,830
There's a transmitting telescope
we can use

816
01:18:24,874 --> 01:18:26,702
to send a signal to 959.

817
01:18:26,745 --> 01:18:28,921
But it's an abandoned government
facility.

818
01:18:29,879 --> 01:18:31,445
So, it's going to have
redundant power

819
01:18:31,489 --> 01:18:33,534
through generators and solar.

820
01:18:34,231 --> 01:18:35,754
We're not going to be able
to make it in

821
01:18:35,798 --> 01:18:37,408
without being detected.

822
01:18:37,451 --> 01:18:39,758
And the nearest air base to
Greenbank is in Washington,

823
01:18:39,802 --> 01:18:42,761
so once we trip the alarm,
we'll have only 12 minutes

824
01:18:42,805 --> 01:18:44,110
before the bombers could arrive.

825
01:18:53,119 --> 01:18:54,991
Uh, guys?

826
01:18:55,948 --> 01:18:56,993
What are those?

827
01:19:00,039 --> 01:19:01,171
Weather balloons.

828
01:19:01,214 --> 01:19:02,694
Doing what?

829
01:19:04,478 --> 01:19:05,784
Probably looking for us.

830
01:19:58,576 --> 01:20:00,099
Everyone hold on.

831
01:20:44,274 --> 01:20:46,363
All right, you guys stay
put. We'll be right back.

832
01:20:55,198 --> 01:20:56,852
There.

833
01:21:02,945 --> 01:21:04,250
Ming!

834
01:21:08,428 --> 01:21:10,604
What do you think
the AI even wants?

835
01:21:16,741 --> 01:21:18,612
Bear trap.

836
01:21:40,373 --> 01:21:41,635
Thanks.

837
01:21:57,347 --> 01:21:58,783
I think this might
actually work.

838
01:21:59,305 --> 01:22:00,654
What might work?

839
01:22:04,006 --> 01:22:05,442
Tell me what you're doing.

840
01:22:05,921 --> 01:22:07,487
You gave me an idea.

841
01:22:19,847 --> 01:22:20,936
Oh, yes!

842
01:22:26,028 --> 01:22:27,290
Okay.

843
01:22:31,424 --> 01:22:32,991
Okay, give me a second.

844
01:22:33,992 --> 01:22:35,428
Okay, you can give
me the coordinates.

845
01:22:35,472 --> 01:22:38,910
Horizontally at 127 degrees,
vertically 136.

846
01:22:44,916 --> 01:22:46,309
Gramps couldn't trap
the AI

847
01:22:46,352 --> 01:22:48,006
because he didn't know
what motivated it.

848
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:50,966
But if this all started
from an email Dad sent,

849
01:22:51,009 --> 01:22:54,012
I'm pretty sure the AGI would be
curious about any file I send

850
01:22:54,056 --> 01:22:55,666
from his inbox.

851
01:22:55,709 --> 01:22:58,190
And if I send a collapsing zip
file with Gramps's virus inside,

852
01:22:58,234 --> 01:23:00,366
it could corrupt any program
that tries to read it.

853
01:23:00,410 --> 01:23:02,716
We'll hide that corruption
behind another zip file.

854
01:23:03,630 --> 01:23:04,849
So?

855
01:23:05,371 --> 01:23:07,721
If this AI opens this
attachment,

856
01:23:07,765 --> 01:23:09,462
this could freeze
the whole network.

857
01:23:10,768 --> 01:23:12,857
I don't totally understand,

858
01:23:12,900 --> 01:23:14,990
but sounds like you should
do it.

859
01:23:16,165 --> 01:23:17,688
Okay, you can turn
the transmitter on.

860
01:23:25,609 --> 01:23:27,045
Narrow the focus.

861
01:23:40,972 --> 01:23:43,061
The AI might still
be scraping emails.

862
01:23:48,893 --> 01:23:49,937
Damn!

863
01:23:51,504 --> 01:23:52,592
No signal.

864
01:24:03,473 --> 01:24:04,952
I don't think we should.

865
01:24:05,692 --> 01:24:07,390
We have to try.

866
01:24:31,370 --> 01:24:32,632
What happened
to the power?

867
01:24:32,676 --> 01:24:34,330
Electrical box blew a fuse.

868
01:24:56,003 --> 01:24:58,745
Here. Use this to
bypass the fuse.

869
01:25:20,941 --> 01:25:21,899
One bar.

870
01:25:27,513 --> 01:25:29,298
Francois, look!

871
01:25:38,394 --> 01:25:39,525
Daniel.

872
01:25:45,444 --> 01:25:46,489
They're early.

873
01:25:48,491 --> 01:25:50,232
Two bars. I'm connecting.

874
01:26:14,647 --> 01:26:16,171
They knew we were coming.

875
01:26:19,957 --> 01:26:21,176
Three minutes.

876
01:26:38,062 --> 01:26:39,194
And send.

877
01:26:51,293 --> 01:26:52,250
Think it worked?

878
01:27:08,005 --> 01:27:09,354
Yeah!

879
01:27:10,181 --> 01:27:11,182
It worked!

880
01:27:11,226 --> 01:27:12,096
We did it.

881
01:27:13,010 --> 01:27:14,185
Oh, my God!

882
01:27:20,539 --> 01:27:21,758
Okay.

883
01:27:26,850 --> 01:27:27,720
Wait.

884
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:30,288
Look.

885
01:27:43,345 --> 01:27:45,216
It's sort
of beautiful.

886
01:27:51,396 --> 01:27:52,310
Oh, my God.

887
01:28:01,841 --> 01:28:03,321
What just happened?

888
01:28:03,365 --> 01:28:05,105
Francois? Maddy?

889
01:28:05,149 --> 01:28:06,237
Where's Maddy?

890
01:28:06,281 --> 01:28:07,194
Francois?

891
01:28:08,544 --> 01:28:09,632
You did it?

892
01:28:11,721 --> 01:28:13,157
I'm so proud of you!

893
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:14,245
What happened?

894
01:28:14,289 --> 01:28:15,420
We just did it!

895
01:28:15,464 --> 01:28:17,161
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay!

896
01:28:17,204 --> 01:28:18,641
Did you see the bombers explode?

897
01:28:18,684 --> 01:28:21,383
Yes, I saw the bombers.
That was incredible!

898
01:28:21,426 --> 01:28:23,515
Did you two just save humanity?

899
01:28:23,994 --> 01:28:25,952
It was awesome.
So fun!

900
01:28:26,736 --> 01:28:27,737
Were you driving?

901
01:28:27,780 --> 01:28:29,391
Yeah. Can I do it
again?

902
01:28:29,434 --> 01:28:30,870
Absolutely not.

903
01:28:30,914 --> 01:28:32,481
I figured the D
was for drive,

904
01:28:32,524 --> 01:28:34,178
but I really had to force it
there.

905
01:28:34,221 --> 01:28:36,920
Oh, dear God.
I'm so proud of you both.

906
01:28:36,963 --> 01:28:38,443
You guys are heroes. Gimme five.

907
01:28:38,922 --> 01:28:40,445
So good!

908
01:28:40,489 --> 01:28:44,623
You... you have to show me
how you do that.

909
01:28:44,667 --> 01:28:46,103
Yeah, come on.

910
01:29:02,249 --> 01:29:04,034
<i> Please be advised,</i>

911
01:29:04,077 --> 01:29:06,993

912

918

919

920
01:29:40,679 --> 01:29:42,942
Humans are in control again.

921
01:29:42,986 --> 01:29:45,989
Just gonna keep making the same
mistakes we always do.

922
01:29:49,166 --> 01:29:50,646
Maybe we can learn from this.

923
01:29:52,996 --> 01:29:54,432
Maybe we can change.

924
01:29:57,392 --> 01:29:59,045
Yeah, we always say that.

925
01:30:04,790 --> 01:30:07,097
I don't want to go back
to the way things were.

926
01:30:19,979 --> 01:30:21,285
Me neither.
