-[Wade] There are things they can't do.
124

They can't lie.
We know that from the Evans transcripts.
125

And they've only got two Sophons.
They told us so themselves.

127

We need to do the same to them.

Sir, even if
we launched a probe tomorrow--
147
00:08:47,944 --> 00:08:50,029
We would meet them in about…
148
00:08:51,822 --> 00:08:53,824
398 years.
149
00:08:54,659 --> 00:08:58,162
They're travelling at 1% light speed.
That should be our goal as well.

[woman sighs]
151
00:09:00,498 --> 00:09:04,710
[sighs] Perhaps in 100 years,
1% light speed might be achievable.

But if you want to launch
a reconnaissance probe immediately,
153
00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:08,798
it's simply impossible.
154
00:09:08,881 --> 00:09:11,592
It's not impossible.
They did it. Why can't we?
155
00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:13,261
We are not them.
156
00:09:15,721 --> 00:09:16,764
No, you're not.
157
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:21,394
[Wade] I hear you plan on fighting back.
So do I.
158
00:09:21,936 --> 00:09:26,148
Now, there's only two Sophons.
They can be anywhere but not everywhere.
159
00:09:26,232 --> 00:09:30,611
I've ordered every particle accelerator
on the planet to start up again, 24-7.
160
00:09:30,695 --> 00:09:34,031
Now, how busy do you reckon
that'll keep Ma and Pa Sophon?
161
00:09:34,115 --> 00:09:35,157
[Jin] Not very.
162
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:38,494
One Sophon can circumnavigate
the planet in an eighth of a second.
163
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:40,496
There's 2,000 accelerators.
164
00:09:41,205 --> 00:09:43,541
All right. Say you align the schedules
and have experiments
165
00:09:43,624 --> 00:09:46,002
on opposite sides of the globe
happen at regular intervals.
166
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:48,337
That might keep
one Sophon going indefinitely.
167
00:09:49,130 --> 00:09:50,548
Better yet, build one on the moon.

169
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:53,843
Why not?
That's three seconds there and back.
170
00:09:54,427 --> 00:09:56,387
That still leaves the other one
to paint countdowns
171
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:58,097
on people's eyes and drive them mad.
172
00:09:58,180 --> 00:10:01,475
Focusing on a single target would keep
the other Sophon going constantly.
173
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,102
That's a huge cost for the San-Ti.
174
00:10:03,185 --> 00:10:06,188
There you go.
You're working for me already.
175
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:08,149
[takes a deep breath]
176
00:10:08,232 --> 00:10:11,569
I'm launching a reconnaissance probe
to intercept the San-Ti.
177
00:10:11,652 --> 00:10:14,113
The engineers I have
are the most accomplished in the world,
178
00:10:14,196 --> 00:10:16,115
but they're all fixated on feasibility.
179
00:10:16,198 --> 00:10:18,326
"Everything is limited.
Nothing is possible."
180
00:10:18,951 --> 00:10:20,661
Here's my challenge to you.
181
00:10:20,745 --> 00:10:23,706
Find me a way to get a probe
to 1% light speed or faster,
182
00:10:23,789 --> 00:10:25,333
utilizing existing technology.
183
00:10:26,542 --> 00:10:29,253
If you can dream up a solution,
I want you to come to Wychwood Manor
184
00:10:29,337 --> 00:10:30,546
and present your proposal.
185
00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:32,173
[sighs]
186
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:37,637
[gulls calling]
187
00:10:40,931 --> 00:10:42,433
-[Saul] Want some?
-[Will] No, I'm good.
188
00:10:42,516 --> 00:10:45,227
You sure? It'll help with the pain.
189
00:10:45,311 --> 00:10:47,063
It's not so bad right now.
190
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:51,025
You don't have to do
the stiff-upper-lip thing, English.
191
00:10:51,108 --> 00:10:52,443
[chuckles] I'm telling you,
192
00:10:52,526 --> 00:10:55,613
when it's my turn on the rack,
I'm gonna be cryin' like a baby.
193
00:10:56,739 --> 00:10:59,992
You know what? Every now and then,
my body actually feels pretty good.
194
00:11:00,910 --> 00:11:04,413
Then I can just concentrate
on the sheer fucking terror of it all.
195
00:11:08,042 --> 00:11:09,043
[bottle opens]
196
00:11:12,213 --> 00:11:15,675
[Will] Not that I've started
believing in God, exactly, but
197
00:11:15,758 --> 00:11:19,929
I've sort of taken to picturing myself
up there when it's all over.
198
00:11:22,431 --> 00:11:25,810
Fuck it.
Here's what I need you to do, all right?
199
00:11:25,893 --> 00:11:28,062
After I'm gone,
buy yourself a wood chipper.
200
00:11:28,145 --> 00:11:29,897
-Uh-huh.
-Pop me in.
201
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:33,067
Turn me into a fine mist,
rising into the ozone.
202
00:11:33,150 --> 00:11:35,111
I don't think a chipper
would aerosolize your body.
203
00:11:35,194 --> 00:11:37,238
Don't be a smart-ass. All right?
204
00:11:37,321 --> 00:11:40,700
This is my last will and testament.
Have some goddamn respect.
205
00:11:41,242 --> 00:11:42,910
-So it shall be.
-[chuckles]
206
00:11:42,993 --> 00:11:44,120
[Auggie] Hey, guys.
207
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:45,705
[Saul] Hey.
208
00:11:48,499 --> 00:11:49,500
Hi.
209
00:11:50,334 --> 00:11:51,460
[Auggie sighs]
210
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:59,760
-[wind whistling]
-[gulls crying above]
211
00:12:02,847 --> 00:12:03,806
Are you okay?
212
00:12:08,978 --> 00:12:09,979
Yeah.
213
00:12:11,063 --> 00:12:13,065
[somber music playing]
214
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:17,403
The English really suck at beaches.
215
00:12:18,404 --> 00:12:19,280
[exhales]
216
00:12:24,952 --> 00:12:27,955
[tense, energetic music playing]
217
00:12:28,038 --> 00:12:30,040
[low, indistinct chatter]
218
00:12:49,143 --> 00:12:52,313
[Jin] During the Ming Dynasty,
the Chinese Navy built a gunpowder rocket
219
00:12:52,396 --> 00:12:54,690
with smaller missiles stored inside.
220
00:12:54,774 --> 00:12:58,402
The result was a medieval weapon
that caused 20th-century damage.
221
00:12:58,486 --> 00:13:01,947
So there is already a precedent
for achieving advanced results
222
00:13:02,031 --> 00:13:03,783
using current materials.
223
00:13:07,578 --> 00:13:11,040
Now, the energy required to propel
a probe of even a few kilograms
224
00:13:11,123 --> 00:13:13,125
to 1% light speed is massive.
225
00:13:13,209 --> 00:13:16,504
However, we do have
a source of that energy.
226
00:13:18,631 --> 00:13:20,800
I mean to use our nuclear weapons.
227
00:13:20,883 --> 00:13:24,470
[woman scoffs] A spaceship
filled with atomic bombs?
228
00:13:24,553 --> 00:13:27,264
Perhaps you've been watching
too many Vin Diesel films.
229
00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:31,268
The mass of a ship like that would make
it almost impossible to launch, anyway.
230
00:13:31,352 --> 00:13:32,645
[Jin] That's very true.
231
00:13:32,728 --> 00:13:36,482
But as you can see on page five,
the bombs won't be on the probe.
232
00:13:36,565 --> 00:13:38,776
The probe itself
would have very little mass,
233
00:13:38,859 --> 00:13:40,820
making it far easier to accelerate.
234
00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:44,907
And how exactly is it going to work?
235
00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:46,575
That's on page 12.
236
00:13:49,078 --> 00:13:52,581
I'm borrowing an old idea
from Stanislav Ullam in the 1940s,
237
00:13:52,665 --> 00:13:54,667
called "Nuclear Pulse Propulsion."
238
00:14:01,131 --> 00:14:03,801
[tense music playing]
239
00:14:03,884 --> 00:14:07,888
Imagine a series of 1,000 nuclear devices
evenly spaced in distance,
240
00:14:07,972 --> 00:14:11,267
stretching from Earth
toward the San-Ti fleet.
241
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:15,396
Now, these bombs could be
put in place using existing spacecraft.
242
00:14:15,479 --> 00:14:18,858
The probe would have
a mass of under 1,000 kilograms
243
00:14:19,775 --> 00:14:22,319
and be propelled by a radiation sail.
244
00:14:25,155 --> 00:14:27,700
As the probe passes the first bomb,
it detonates,
245
00:14:27,783 --> 00:14:29,743
accelerating it towards the second,
246
00:14:29,827 --> 00:14:34,498
which detonates, accelerating it
again and again and again.
247
00:14:34,582 --> 00:14:38,002
If we can precisely time the detonations
as the probe passes,
248
00:14:38,085 --> 00:14:41,755
and impart 30 kilonewtons
of force on the probe per explosion,
249
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:44,466
the compounding rate of acceleration
will mean we can reach
250
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:48,095
1.12% light speed after 1,000 explosions.
251
00:14:49,805 --> 00:14:53,976
Like steps on a staircase, each bomb
brings us closer to our destination.
252
00:15:00,065 --> 00:15:02,818
It's a very creative notion,
but it's totally untested,
253
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:04,153
with zero margin for error--
254
00:15:04,236 --> 00:15:07,197
And it would surely violate
more than a few nuclear treaties--
255
00:15:07,281 --> 00:15:09,658
Not to mention the cost. Trillions?
256
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:12,077
Valid points. Dr. Cheng?
257
00:15:13,954 --> 00:15:15,539
Treaties can be amended.
258
00:15:15,623 --> 00:15:18,626
Our job is to come up with
a solution to a scientific problem.
259
00:15:18,709 --> 00:15:20,711
It's someone else's job
to come up with the money,
260
00:15:20,794 --> 00:15:23,923
and there's no version of this
that doesn't require a lot of money.
261
00:15:24,506 --> 00:15:27,009
I agree, the margin for error is small.
262
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,303
But it's not impossible.
263
00:15:29,386 --> 00:15:32,932
I compliment you, Dr. Cheng,
for this entertaining proposal.
264
00:15:33,641 --> 00:15:36,560
But the only way
to truly achieve 1% light speed
265
00:15:36,644 --> 00:15:38,312
is with decades of research,
266
00:15:38,395 --> 00:15:40,439
not pyrotechnic stunts.
267
00:15:40,522 --> 00:15:43,275
We've got 400 years, Mr. Wade.
268
00:15:43,359 --> 00:15:45,444
What's a few decades?
269
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,990
I think it's worth pursuing.
270
00:15:50,616 --> 00:15:53,577
The closer we get to them,
the more we'll know about them.
271
00:15:53,661 --> 00:15:57,206
It's the first proposal I've heard
to get us to 1% in our lifetimes,
272
00:15:57,289 --> 00:16:01,502
and I have no intention of dying with
my agency having accomplished fuck all.
273
00:16:01,585 --> 00:16:03,170
[man 1 inhales sharply]
274
00:16:03,253 --> 00:16:04,630
[man 2 clears throat]
275
00:16:14,014 --> 00:16:15,349
Let's find you an office.
276
00:16:15,432 --> 00:16:17,434
[music fades slowly]
277
00:16:17,518 --> 00:16:20,729
[group members chatting indistinctly]
278
00:16:22,564 --> 00:16:24,775
[dog barking in distance]
279
00:16:24,858 --> 00:16:25,818
[reporter] Scientists…
280
00:16:25,901 --> 00:16:28,195
[Saul] Aliens won't be here for 400 years.
281
00:16:28,278 --> 00:16:30,614
It's a long time
to hoard digestive biscuits.
282
00:16:31,907 --> 00:16:33,534
[Auggie] We've lost the plot.
283
00:16:33,617 --> 00:16:35,869
[reporter] Meanwhile,
an ambitious, new initiative,
284
00:16:35,953 --> 00:16:37,705
"The Stars Our Destination,"
285
00:16:37,788 --> 00:16:41,834
is attracting the attention
of the world's wealthiest individuals.
286
00:16:41,917 --> 00:16:45,212
For donations in the reported
eight- to nine-figure range,
287
00:16:45,295 --> 00:16:48,757
the richest men and women
have acquired ownership rights
288
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:51,635
over stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
289
00:16:51,719 --> 00:16:54,013
-Rights which most…
-I don't get it.
290
00:16:54,596 --> 00:16:57,182
It's a fundraiser for the war effort.
291
00:16:58,308 --> 00:17:00,144
Bake sale for billionaires.
292
00:17:00,227 --> 00:17:02,062
People make donations,
and we're gonna catch up
293
00:17:02,146 --> 00:17:04,565
to the little green men
who put a giant Eye in the Sky?
294
00:17:04,648 --> 00:17:06,316
At least they're doing something.
295
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,319
Some people are worshipping the aliens.
That's something.
296
00:17:09,820 --> 00:17:11,947
We should use that money
to help people now.
297
00:17:12,823 --> 00:17:15,409
Not fund a war
that's not gonna happen till 2400.
298
00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:17,995
[Will] It's a good story,
though, isn't it?
299
00:17:18,078 --> 00:17:20,998
It's much more exciting
to imagine a future War of the Worlds
300
00:17:21,081 --> 00:17:23,709
than it is to muck around
with our current problems.
301
00:17:25,085 --> 00:17:27,921
[sighs] I just want a beer. Any beer.
302
00:17:28,005 --> 00:17:31,258
The pub might get some in tonight,
if you're willing to fight the crowd.
303
00:17:31,341 --> 00:17:33,510
Is there any chance I could preorder
304
00:17:33,594 --> 00:17:36,847
five bottles of your next shipment
of really good whiskey?
305
00:17:36,930 --> 00:17:38,307
[clerk] What'd you have in mind?
306
00:17:39,266 --> 00:17:42,269
Um… Macallan 30?
307
00:17:42,352 --> 00:17:43,687
Pricey stuff.
308
00:17:44,938 --> 00:17:47,191
-I've come into a bit of money.
-[typing]
309
00:17:47,274 --> 00:17:49,985
[reporter] …to join
the Strategic Intelligence Agency.
310
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:52,654
That's unavailable till the new year.
Can you wait?
311
00:17:54,156 --> 00:17:56,241
I will be unavailable then, as well.
312
00:17:58,702 --> 00:18:00,287
[knocking on door]
313
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:01,914
Come in.
314
00:18:14,134 --> 00:18:15,761
You wanted to speak to me?
315
00:18:16,345 --> 00:18:17,554
You have three minutes.
316
00:18:18,847 --> 00:18:19,848
Yes, sir.
317
00:18:20,641 --> 00:18:22,142
Thank you for seeing me.
318
00:18:22,726 --> 00:18:24,561
-I thought--
-Open the window, would you?
319
00:18:24,645 --> 00:18:25,729
It's stuffy in here.
320
00:18:37,157 --> 00:18:38,367
[Raj grunts]
321
00:18:38,951 --> 00:18:39,993

[Raj sighs]
324
00:18:52,005 --> 00:18:54,133
I have to say, sir, I know this one.
325
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:56,927
The window. It's sealed shut,
326
00:18:57,010 --> 00:19:01,014
and you asked me to open it to see
how I respond to an impossible task.
327
00:19:01,598 --> 00:19:04,351
Do I give up? Do I use some kind of tool?
328
00:19:04,434 --> 00:19:05,811
Do I break the window?
329
00:19:08,772 --> 00:19:10,899
[crow cawing outside]
330
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:12,192
[Wade sighs]
331
00:19:14,069 --> 00:19:15,779
[exhales] Two minutes.
332
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:17,781
Yes, sir.
333
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:25,956
I thought I comported myself well
in Panama.
334
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:28,208
Oh. You're looking for commendations?
335
00:19:28,292 --> 00:19:30,127
Maybe you should go back to the Navy.
336
00:19:30,210 --> 00:19:32,254
Sail around in circles
wearing a funny hat.
337
00:19:32,337 --> 00:19:35,132
I don't want to go back to the Navy.
I want to work for you.
338
00:19:35,215 --> 00:19:38,051
I want you to realize someone
with a background in nuclear engineering
339
00:19:38,135 --> 00:19:40,971
and naval strategy
should be on your space fleet team,
340
00:19:41,054 --> 00:19:44,266
and not doing office admin
or trying to open your goddamn windows.
341
00:19:45,601 --> 00:19:47,186
What space fleet team?
342
00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:50,606
The one designing our first ships.
You've had it going for a month.
343
00:19:50,689 --> 00:19:53,108
-You don't have clearance to know that.
-I know.
344
00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:55,569
-How long have you known about it?
-Two weeks.
345
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,988
Then you're two weeks late coming to me.
346
00:19:58,780 --> 00:19:59,907
I didn't want to overstep.
347
00:19:59,990 --> 00:20:02,242
If you're afraid of overstepping,
you shouldn't be here.
348
00:20:02,326 --> 00:20:03,869
Put me on the space fleet team.
349
00:20:03,952 --> 00:20:05,245
Done.
350
00:20:07,456 --> 00:20:08,457
Thank you.
351
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:10,250
Sir.
352
00:20:10,334 --> 00:20:12,211
You'll love it on Mare Imbrium.
353
00:20:12,961 --> 00:20:14,796
[tense music playing]
354
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,089
Mare Imbrium?
355
00:20:17,966 --> 00:20:19,176
On the moon?
356
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,220
We're building a base there.
357
00:20:21,303 --> 00:20:25,557
That's where we're going to assemble
the ships. Lower gravity, larger ships.
358
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:28,268
Dangerous work,
but it'll get you your commendations,
359
00:20:28,352 --> 00:20:29,645
if you survive.
360
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:32,814
Close the window on your way out.
361
00:20:34,441 --> 00:20:35,859
[exhales resolutely]
362
00:20:35,943 --> 00:20:37,945
[gulls crying]
363
00:20:41,865 --> 00:20:42,908
Hi.
364
00:20:44,993 --> 00:20:47,120
[rock music playing on stereo]
365
00:20:47,204 --> 00:20:48,664
[Auggie] Oh, thank God.
366
00:20:53,794 --> 00:20:54,836
How is he?
367
00:20:57,923 --> 00:20:59,716
I'm glad you're done ghosting me.
368
00:21:00,425 --> 00:21:02,261
Still haven't said where you were.
369
00:21:02,761 --> 00:21:04,388
Raj didn't tell you?
370
00:21:04,471 --> 00:21:05,639
Raj?
371
00:21:06,515 --> 00:21:09,268
-You were with him?
-Oi. You made it. [chuckles]
372
00:21:09,768 --> 00:21:10,769
Hey.
373
00:21:12,688 --> 00:21:14,439
Hey, and you brought your own food.
374
00:21:14,523 --> 00:21:15,774
[chuckles]
375
00:21:15,857 --> 00:21:20,279
It's for you. Little housewarming for
when you're too lazy to look at the ocean.
376
00:21:21,863 --> 00:21:23,949
I love the little fella already.
377
00:21:24,032 --> 00:21:25,575
[chuckles]
378
00:21:25,659 --> 00:21:30,914
Who was it that wrote the, um, uh…
The Fisherman and the Golden Fish?
379
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,458
It was Pushkin, I think.
380
00:21:33,542 --> 00:21:35,043
Pushkin, that's it.
381
00:21:35,919 --> 00:21:37,296
That's what I'll name you.
382
00:21:38,046 --> 00:21:39,131
Pushkin.
383
00:21:39,965 --> 00:21:41,383
That suits you.
384
00:21:47,931 --> 00:21:49,433
[Jin] Thanks for dinner, guys.
385
00:21:49,516 --> 00:21:50,809
[Saul] Uh-huh.
386
00:21:56,606 --> 00:21:58,525
[Jin] Hey, slow down.
387
00:21:59,276 --> 00:22:02,279
I can't believe you're working
for that fascist fuck again.
388
00:22:02,362 --> 00:22:03,905
I know how he comes across.
389
00:22:06,033 --> 00:22:09,494
But he's a fighter,
and after everything I've been through,
390
00:22:09,578 --> 00:22:12,497
everything we've been through,
how can I not help fight this?
391
00:22:12,581 --> 00:22:14,416
You sound like you admire him.
392
00:22:14,499 --> 00:22:17,127
I think he's trying,
which is more than most people can say.
393
00:22:17,210 --> 00:22:18,503
He's a murderer.
394
00:22:21,715 --> 00:22:23,675
The San-Ti declared war on us.
395
00:22:23,759 --> 00:22:26,219
-That's what the Eye in the Sky was!
-[plates clatter]
396
00:22:27,346 --> 00:22:31,224
Has Raj told you anything about Panama?
397
00:22:33,352 --> 00:22:36,605
Jesus Christ,
do you know your boyfriend at all?
398
00:22:38,982 --> 00:22:41,568
-Okay, you're scaring me.
-[Auggie] You should ask him.
399
00:22:42,402 --> 00:22:44,571
Let's see if he tells you the truth.
400
00:22:45,906 --> 00:22:49,159
I will, but the San-Ti are real,
and I have to do something--
401
00:22:49,242 --> 00:22:51,328
[Auggie] They're 400 years away.
402
00:22:51,411 --> 00:22:54,915
Everyone you know and love
will be dead before they even get here.
403
00:22:54,998 --> 00:22:56,875
And their kids, their grandkids, and--
404
00:22:56,958 --> 00:22:59,836
-You're gonna pretend nothing's happening?
-I'm not pretending anything.
405
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:01,338
[tense music playing]
406
00:23:13,392 --> 00:23:15,977
What are you even working on
for that piece of shit?
407
00:23:18,855 --> 00:23:20,482
I need a radiation sail,
408
00:23:20,565 --> 00:23:24,694
about five square kilometers in area,
but with a mass of less than 50 kilograms.
409
00:23:26,446 --> 00:23:27,280
No.
410
00:23:28,031 --> 00:23:30,283
Everything depends on this nanosail,
411
00:23:30,367 --> 00:23:32,327
and there's no one
who can design it besides you.
412
00:23:32,411 --> 00:23:33,662
I said no.
413
00:23:33,745 --> 00:23:35,789
We've got some of the best physicists
working on this.
414
00:23:35,872 --> 00:23:36,957
The resources are insane!
415
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,918
The last time we gave the best physicists
in the world insane resources,
416
00:23:40,001 --> 00:23:41,420
they gave us Hiroshima.
417
00:23:41,503 --> 00:23:43,505
No, I'm not designing a weapon.
418
00:23:43,588 --> 00:23:44,589
Not yet.
419
00:23:47,676 --> 00:23:49,678
-[gulls crying]
-[tense music fades]
420
00:23:51,930 --> 00:23:52,931
[Jin] Hey.
421
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:55,308
You're up early.
422
00:23:55,892 --> 00:23:57,978
[Will] Oh, I'm always here at sunrise.
423
00:24:01,690 --> 00:24:03,316
[rocks clatter]
424
00:24:04,526 --> 00:24:05,652
[rock splashes]
425
00:24:13,869 --> 00:24:15,412
You know, you could have told me.
426
00:24:18,665 --> 00:24:20,208
I didn't wanna worry you.
427
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:22,961
What could you have done?
428
00:24:23,879 --> 00:24:27,340
I'd have been fucking furious
if you'd just… If you…
429
00:24:30,886 --> 00:24:32,387
If you'd gone and just…
430
00:24:34,890 --> 00:24:36,224
[crying] …not told me.
431
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:38,518
[soft, tender music playing]
432
00:24:38,602 --> 00:24:39,519

[rock splashes]
434
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,526
[softly] Hey.
435
00:24:49,321 --> 00:24:50,906
You want me to stay a few more days?
436
00:24:52,908 --> 00:24:54,826
No, I won't stand for it.
437
00:24:56,203 --> 00:25:02,125
You go and save the world,
and I will be just fine right here.
438
00:25:02,209 --> 00:25:03,293
[rock splashes]
439
00:25:26,816 --> 00:25:27,901
[Jin chuckles softly]
440

[exhales]
441
00:25:45,001 --> 00:25:48,129
Imagine this one's you, and this one's me.
442
00:25:53,343 --> 00:25:55,345

What's up?

Jin still here?
448
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,224
No, she left about 20 minutes ago.
449
00:26:42,142 --> 00:26:43,518
How'd you leave things?
450
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,854
[inhales sharply] Same as always.
451
00:26:45,937 --> 00:26:48,148
"Nice to see you. See you soon."
452
00:26:48,231 --> 00:26:50,942
"Thanks for coming. Come back anytime."
453
00:26:53,528 --> 00:26:54,529
Nothing else?
454
00:26:54,613 --> 00:26:57,032
[takes a deep breath] Like what?
455
00:26:57,532 --> 00:26:58,825
Christ almighty, man!
456
00:26:58,908 --> 00:27:02,871
You'd think that dying of all things
would make you open up for a change.
457
00:27:03,371 --> 00:27:05,707
It was a nice, no-drama goodbye.
458
00:27:05,790 --> 00:27:06,916
Why ruin it?
459
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,544
I've never seen anyone
love someone like you love her,
460
00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:11,630
and you're just gonna
take that to the grave?
461
00:27:11,713 --> 00:27:13,548
Wood chipper, don't forget.
462
00:27:14,591 --> 00:27:17,260
If I was in your shoes,
I'd let the whole universe know.
463
00:27:17,344 --> 00:27:20,430
Do you know how many times
I've played this out in my mind?
464
00:27:20,513 --> 00:27:21,598
Millions.
465
00:27:21,681 --> 00:27:24,309
And every time, it ends up
awkward and unfair to Jin.
466
00:27:24,392 --> 00:27:27,437
Because she obviously
doesn't feel the same way.
467
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,731
-Maybe she does. How do you know?
-[Will] All right. Fine.
468
00:27:29,814 --> 00:27:31,524
Let's say I did it, all right?
469
00:27:31,608 --> 00:27:36,071
I go there, I get down on my knees,
and I compose her a fucking sonnet.
470
00:27:36,821 --> 00:27:40,241
Then what? What's she gonna do?
She gonna leave her boyfriend?
471
00:27:40,325 --> 00:27:41,701
Fuck him!
472
00:27:41,785 --> 00:27:42,786
[Will scoffs]
473
00:27:42,869 --> 00:27:45,997
No, I'm… I have half a mind
to put you on a train to London
474
00:27:46,081 --> 00:27:49,584
so you can say your piece…
and get it off your chest.
475
00:27:49,668 --> 00:27:51,169
[Auggie] What is Will gonna do?
476
00:27:51,252 --> 00:27:53,338
Will is not doing anything.
477
00:27:53,421 --> 00:27:56,091
He is the one who wants
to send a dying man to London
478
00:27:56,174 --> 00:27:59,886
to pour his heart out to a girl and ruin
their perfectly lovely friendship.
479
00:28:00,804 --> 00:28:03,973
Yes. You should absolutely do that.
480
00:28:05,392 --> 00:28:07,060
She has a boyfriend!
481
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:08,770
Fuck him.

[exhales sharply]
490
00:29:00,572 --> 00:29:02,991
[Raj] It was a classified operation.
491
00:29:03,074 --> 00:29:04,617
There's rules I have to follow.
492
00:29:04,701 --> 00:29:07,036
I've had the same clearance
as you for a week now.
493
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,038
Yeah, we've barely seen one another.
494
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:12,542
When do you suppose I should've
sat you down to tell you everything?
495
00:29:12,625 --> 00:29:14,210
The night you got back from Panama,
496
00:29:14,294 --> 00:29:16,337
you said it was
an ordinary training exercise.
497
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:17,464
I had to.
498
00:29:17,547 --> 00:29:20,633
How could you not be bothered
when 1,000 people were killed?
499
00:29:21,301 --> 00:29:23,803
The people on that ship
murdered scientists.
500
00:29:23,887 --> 00:29:28,600
They crippled our research so the San-Ti
can murder the rest of us more easily.
501
00:29:30,435 --> 00:29:32,353
These are the people who murdered Jack.
502
00:29:33,438 --> 00:29:35,899
If you had the chance,
what would you have done?
503
00:29:35,982 --> 00:29:39,444
What bothers me is that you seem
so comfortable with the result.
504
00:29:39,527 --> 00:29:43,323
You do realize that the work you're doing
for Wade is in preparation for war.
505
00:29:43,406 --> 00:29:45,200
If you're not comfortable
being part of a war,
506
00:29:45,283 --> 00:29:47,827
it doesn't make sense for you
to lead a reconnaissance mission.
507
00:29:47,911 --> 00:29:49,162
Don't drag me into the mud.
508
00:29:49,245 --> 00:29:51,456
What I'm doing
and what you did don't even compare.
509
00:29:51,539 --> 00:29:54,209
Some of us have to do the ugly stuff
so you can keep your hands clean.
510
00:29:54,292 --> 00:29:55,418
Ugh.
511
00:29:55,502 --> 00:29:57,045
You think Auggie's innocent?
512
00:29:58,505 --> 00:30:00,131
Her nanofibers did all the cutting.
513
00:30:00,215 --> 00:30:01,591
And she's fucking gutted about it.
514
00:30:01,674 --> 00:30:04,511
She's been drinking herself to sleep
