All language subtitles for 1x01 Rendezvous With Yesterday.EN

[ Engines Roaring ]

[ Man On Speaker] Please fasten
your seat belt, Senator Clark. We're landing.

[ Flips Switch ]

Mobile Tic-Toc 1 to Tic-Toc Base.

Permission to enter.
Code: Red Lion.

[ Man On Phone ] Tic-Toc Base
to Mobile Tic-Toc 1. Permission granted.

- Dr. Phillips.
-Jiggs.

This is Senator Clark.

This is Master SergeantJiggs,
the ramrod of our security forces.

Glad to meet you, Senator.

- I'll take that, please.
- Security, Senator.

Senator.

There are over 1 2,000 personnel
quartered in each of those complexes.

Each complex is over 800 floors deep.

You know, Phillips, every time
I check your budget figures...

I ask myself the same question-

Is time travel really worth all this?

Senator, the control of time...

is potentially the most valuable
treasure that man will ever find.

Well, it's certainly the most costly.

Will you come with me, please?

Senator.

Hang on. We're going
into free fall for 800 floors.

There's much more to see below.

It'll be over in a few seconds, Senator.

- An old friend of yours, I believe.
- Leroy.

- Hello, Leroy.
- Woody.

My, it's been a long time.

How did they ever get an old
dogface like you out of the mud?

Huh. Worst paratroop officer
I ever commanded.

I told him to go into politics,
where he couldn't hurt anyone.

Come on. That was meant
to be a gag, not a dig.

Now what's all this
investigation nonsense?

Well, I think you can guess
why I'm here, Woody.

Of course.
Come over here a minute.

Did you ever see anything
like this before in your life?

No, I can't say that I have.

That's what I'm here to talk about.

General. I think Tony
ought to be in on this.

- Where is he?
- In the Tunnel. This way.

[ Computers Whirring ]

So that's the monster that's cost us
all this money, hmm?

Yes, Senator.

Well, Leroy, what do you think?

- Pretty expensive toy.
- Toy?

Hardly a toy, Senator.

According to your reports...

all you've ever sent back in time
are mice and monkeys.

- So far, yes.
- How do you know they weren't
just disintegrated?

Disintegration would cause
some residue in matter.

Have you ever returned these animals
to this laboratory safe and sound?

- Not yet, no. But-
- Then so far as we know...

this whole thing might be
just a fancy disappearing act.

- Isn't that true?
- Actually, at this point-

You're guessing, Doctor, and, so far...

your guessing has cost the United States
government 7 1 /2 billion dollars.

This way, Senator.

Tommy! Could you
come out here a minute?

Doug. It's gonna work.

I just finished the polarization,
and it just feels right.

- Take a look.
- Senator Leroy Clark,
this is Dr. Anthony Newman.

- Excuse me, Senator.
- Doctor?

You seem a little young
for that title...

not to mention being
number two man on this project.

His youth is only a disguise, Senator.

Inside is an old genius
struggling to get out.

I'm glad you were interested enough in
our project to pay us a personal call, Senator.

Let's just say I don't like to scrap
billions of dollars by just sending a memo.

- Scrap?
- Tony.

The senator feels our experiments
haven't shown enough success...

to warrant the time
and money invested.

- But we're so close now.
- Close to what, son?

To sending a man back in time
and returning him, of course.

Well, then do it.
No more promises, boys.

I want a fact
I can grab hold of.

- By when?
- When?

You and the general have
been on this for 1 0 years.

You've been with the project almost seven.
I say the time is now.

You mean today?

That's right, because tomorrow afternoon
I'm flying back to Washington...

to write you a blank check...
or cut your umbilical cord.

Leroy.

We are not ready to risk a life.

Doug. Let me try it.

Absolutely not.

We just give up.
Is that it?

We've put our lives
into this project.

I'm not going to commit murder...

and I'm not going to allow you to
commit suicide just to satisfy a budget.

That's no answer.
That's not even science.

Excuse me.

He seems a little emotional
for a scientist.

[ Clicks Tongue ]
Anything else you want to show me?

- Plenty.
- Leroy, we haven't even begun.

Senator.

[ Computers Whirring ]

This is a red alert!
Red alert!

All Time Tunnel personnel
report to their stations on the double!

[ Alarms Blaring ]

[ Electrical Charges Firing ]

It's Tony.

- Can't you stop him?
- Not now. He'd burn alive.

- George, start the countdown.
- [ Man ] Sixteen, 1 5...

1 4, 1 3...

- 1 2, 1 1, 1 0-[ Continues Counting ]
- What's happening to him?

He's in a radiation freeze.

It's the first step in his relocation.

- ...four, three, two...
- Pray that it works.

- one, zero.!
- [ High-pitched Tone ]

- [ Tone Stops ]
- All right. Start location probe.

Jerry, see if you can
synchronize the time curve.

Ray, give us
a power-and-distance ratio.

- Ann, find what specific radiation Tony is.
- I'll try.

- Well, where is he?
- [ Flipping Switches ]

He could be living in yesterday
or next week or a million years from now.

- How do you know?
- You've got your guinea pig, Sen-

- Doug!
- Take a sock at me if it'll
make you feel any better.

But I'd still like to know
what's going on.

[ Exhales ]

Tony just finished developing
that radiation bath.

That was the blue mist you saw
just before he disappeared.

In theory, this should give us
a magnetic fix- like a homing device-

to enable us to locate him in time.

In theory.
What if it doesn't work?

Then he'll be lost in time
for the rest of his life.

[ Electrical Charges Firing ]

[ Ship's Horn Blowing ]

[ Dance Band:Slow Ragtime ]

- Are you hurt?
- [ Quietly ] I've made it.

Hmm? You are hurt.
I'll call someone.

Oh, no, no. I'm- I'm fine.
Really.

But you had a very bad fall.

[ Continues, Muffled ]

I, uh- I didn't look where I was going.

It's a pretty big ship.

It's supposed to be
the biggest ever built.

It doesn't look so big in the middle
of all this water, does it?

Are you, uh-
You are American, aren't you?

- Huh?
- Are you American?

Oh- Oh, please.
Why don't you sit down?

Oh, yes, uh-
Yes, I am.

- Anthony Newman.
- Althea Hall.

Do all Americans
adopt the vigorous life...

just to please your Teddy Roosevelt?

- Teddy?
- Mr. Roosevelt.

Oh, no. I guess I should
have put on a jacket.

I didn't think it would be so cold.

Then you've never spent
April in London.

I do hope it'll be warmer
when we reach New York.

Is that where-

That is, are you making
your first trip to New York?

As a matter of fact, I am.
Does it show?

Oh, no. No, of course not.
I- I just wondered.

Not that I'm one of those Europeans
who think there are still, uh...

cowboys and Indians in New York.

But it is the other side
of the world, isn't it?

- That depends on which side you start from.
- Touche.

I haven't noticed you in the dining room
the past three days.

Are you a man of mystery,
Mr. Newman?

I've, uh, been eating in my cabin-
catching up on some work.

Well, it's bad luck
to work on Saturday nights...

particularly when it's the 1 3th.

- Saturday, April 1 3.
- Are you superstitious?

Oh, no. No, I've...
just been working so much...

I've lost all track of time.

Well, I think I...
better get that jacket.

See you again, Miss Hall.

[ Children Chattering ]

[ Shuffleboard Disc Clatters ]

[ Whispering ]
Titanic?

- Any luck?
- No, not yet.

Doug, we've collated the automatic
settings that Tony used.

The energy he employed could not have
sent him more than a hundred years...

forward or back in time-
probably less.

- Ann, reduce your limits.
- [ Clark ] Only a hundred years
forward or back.

That means you have
to pinpoint him across 200 years.

200 years is just a heartbeat...

compared to the countless
billions of years of time.

Yes, I suppose so.

Well, what happens if you find him?

Tony and his immediate environment will be
relayed into the Tunnel's recorders...

and reproduced instantly
on the image area.

and reproduced instantly
on the image area.

- You mean we'll be able to see him?
- See and hear him.

- Would he be able to see us?
- No, but he'll know what we're trying to do.

He might communicate with us
on the assumption that we've found him.

[ Oscillating ]

- Ray.
- I know, Doc.

I'm beginning to get
some irregular coordination.

[ Tones Chiming ]

Sounds like bells.

[ Chiming ]

- Captain.
- Good afternoon.

Captain, I must speak to you.
It's very important.

Yes, of course.
You're, uh-You're Mr.-

My name is Newman, sir,
but that doesn't matter.

Captain, I must tell you something.

Yes, of course, Mr. Newman.
What did you want to say?

I don't know how to say it without
sounding like I'm out of my mind.

Come, come, my dear fellow. You're
dissatisfied with your accommodations...

or the food or- or perhaps you've misplaced
something and you're afraid it's been stolen.

- In any case, I assure you-
- Captain, this ship is the Titanic.

Is that what you had to tell me?

What I mean, sir,
is the Titanic sank.

It struck an iceberg and was lost.

Sank? This is our maiden voyage, sir.

That means our first voyage.

I trust this is not some poor attempt
at a practical joke.

No, Captain, it's not a joke.
I swear to you.

How can I make you understand?

Perhaps if you stopped talking nonsense,
Mr. Newman.

Newman. Newman. I don't recall.
Are you in second class or third?

I'm not on the passenger list, Captain.

I'm Dr. Anthony Newman.
My doctorate's in electro-physics.

It's a very impressive title, Doctor.

Listen, I know I sound insane,
but you must believe me-

for the sake of thousands of lives.

I can't remember the exact hour and day
of the disaster, but it's history.

Stop this rubbish.
We are riding on a calm sea.

You talk about sinkings and disasters
as though they'd already happened.

It has for me, Captain.
I was born in 1 938.

- If you insist.
- Captain.

I'm part of a scientific team
in the year 1 968.

We've been experimenting
with time displacement.

I've been sent back in time to this ship-

to this moment, month and year.

Mr. Grainger, this gentleman
is a confessed stowaway.

Please see that he's confined
till we reach New York.

Captain, you'll never reach New York.

I'm afraid his peculiar ideas might alarm
some of the other passengers.

I suggest you keep him
incommunicado and under guard.

Yes, sir.

Even if you don't believe me, it wouldn't
hurt you to change your course.

- Go farther south.
- Take him below.

Captain.

Not reach New York?
Change our course?

What sort of gibberish was that, sir?

I make him some sort
of harmless crank, Mr. Grainger.

But there are other
transatlantic lines...

which would not like to see us
set a record on our maiden run.

I can't believe they'd go
to these lengths, but-

- I think that'll be all, Mr. Grainger.
- Aye, aye, sir.

- Mr. Grainger.
- Sir.

- Wire for further information
on iceberg movements.
- We did, this morning, sir.

- Well, confirm them.
- Aye, aye, sir.

[ Flipping Switches ]

Look.

[ Ship's Horn Blows ]

Ray, we need some
pressure magnification.

A ship that size-
it couldn't have been too long ago.

Anybody recognize it?

I do. I'd know
those lines anywhere.

Gentlemen, that's the Titanic.

- A picture of the Titanic.
- No, not a picture.

It is the Titanic.

Then Tony must be on board.
When did the Titanic go down?

Ann, get the boys on the history computer to
give us a complete rundown on the Titanic...

with pictures
and cross-section diagrams.

I want tonnage, speed,
equipment- the works.

Also, the year, day and minute
she went down.

But Dr. Newman is alive now,
in our time.

How could he be affected by something that's
happening at the beginning of the century?

No. He's living in that time zone now.

Anything that happens to us
won't affect him there...

but if he's on that ship
when it goes down...

he'll die along with the others.

-Just a few minutes, ma'am.
- Thank you.

- How did you find me?
- I just spoke to the captain.

Is it true that you're a stowaway?

In a sense, yes.

And that you're trying
to alarm passengers with-

with wild stories of the ship's safety?

There's so much to explain.
I don't know where to begin.

Tell me.
Why are you behaving like this?

Do you know, it's been
a peaceful trip up till now.

And then, out of nowhere, you-
Well, I don't understand.

I know you don't.

I've just begun to realize how stupid I am
to think anybody could possibly understand.

Would you let me try?

- I'm glad you were concerned
enough to ask about me.
- Oh.

Althea, do you believe
in the future?

I mean, that there really is a future
for you,your children, mankind?

Yes, of course I do.

And obviously you believe in the past.
Everybody does.

But what if I were to tell you that
the past and the future are the same?

- You think I'm raving.
- No, no. I don't.

I don't blame you.

Suppose I told you
that time itself doesn't exist.

It's only motion we measure-
the motion of the Earth spinning...

the orbit of the Earth
around the sun.

- Tony, I'm sorry.
- Oh, no, no.

I'm the one who's sorry.
I frightened you.

You see, all I wanted to do
was for you to let me help you.

[ Knocking ]

Sorry, ma'am. Captain said
just a few minutes was all.

Oh. I'm just coming.
Thank you.

Why don't you let me tell the Captain
that you didn't mean what you said...

and that you won't
mention it again, hmm?

I can't promise that, Althea...

not when I know
what's going to happen.

But you don't know.
Nobody knows.

You can't.

[ Pounding ]

[ Out Of Breath ]

That's it.
Hold those coordinates.

[ Man ]
The captain said to keep you quiet.

If that means using chains, mister,
I have them too.

Doug.! I don't know
if you're picking me up.

If you're just getting sound,
I'm on the Titanic...

locked in a forward cabin
just above the waterline.

He's a prisoner.

It's 9:1 5 a.m., April 1 4, 1 9 1 2.

I don't know when it's gonna sink, but-

They've got me locked up...
because I tried to warn the captain.

He's right in the middle of the section
that was slashed open by that iceberg.

- What about the date?
- Let's see-

""The Titanic struck an iceberg
late on Sunday evening, April 1 4...

and sank during the early hours
of Monday, April 1 5.''

- Then he's got about 1 4 hours.
- Fourteen hours.

No, he hasn't, Senator.

Tony's locked in a room that could be
flooded as soon as they hit that berg.

We're the ones that have 1 4 hours
if we're going to try to save him.

What can you do?

Theoretically, we can suspend Tony in
his time zone and remove him from it.

But, during that suspension,
Tony's body processes-

his heart, his breathing,
his tissue regeneration- would all stop.

Unless we can return him here or to
some other time zone within seconds...

we'll kill him.

- That's what you're thinking, isn't it?
- Not exactly.

There were over 300 men
who survived the Titanic.

Tony knows what will happen. Ifhe were free
on board, he could be one of those survivors.

Yes, but we can't free him
by remote control.

- No, but we could go back and help him.
- Doug, no.

Yesterday, you refused to let Tony do what
he went and did anyway, and you were right.

What do you expect to do now
except die with him?

What do you suggest?
We just sit here and watch him die?

At least my way
he'd have a chance.

Remember, I'll appear there dressed for
the period and prepared with the facts.

That reminds me. Have Research get me a copy
of a New York paper dated April 1 5, 1 91 2.

You and I have worked
together long enough for you to know...

that I don't give orders
just to play soldier.

I know that, Woody.

But,just this once, it might
be the right thing to do.

Now, we have a friend
that's in danger.

You're trying to protect me from
that danger. I appreciate that.

But ifTony weren't back there,
this research would have come to a close.

Isn't that true?
All right.

Tony's risking his life
to succeed where I failed.

If we don't have the faith
in what we're doing here...

and the guts to back up that faith-

Woody, Dr. Newman took off
on his own like a madman.

If you let this man go,
it's a cold-blooded responsibility...

you might have to live with
the rest of your life.

Would you let me go if
our positions were reversed?

Probably not.
I turned Tony down.

But I'm hoping
you're tougher than I am.

Prepare your briefing procedure.

I'll organize a countdown.

- Good luck, Doug.
- It'll work, Senator.

Doug, your master guidance control
has been programmed...

for an identical overlay with Tony's.

If you overshoot me a day or more,
I'll get there before Tony.

Or a day late,
and you wind up...

in the freezing waters
where the ship sank with Tony on it.

Doug, please.
Don't go.

I have to.

Ray, you'll be calling
the scientific shots from this end.

Don't gamble unless you have to.
But if you do have to, go for broke.

Don't worry.

[ George ]
Sixteen, 1 5, 1 4...

1 3, 1 2...

1 1, 1 0, nine...

eight, seven, six, five, four...

three, two, one, zero.

Hey now!
Where'd you come from?

I'm sorry. I guess
I should get back where I belong.

Guess you should. Tourist.

Oh.

It's all right.
Come on in.

Anything wrong, son?

- Oh, excuse me, sir.
- It's all right. I'm just washing up.

Ah. You didn't happen to see
a little French boy...

with his pockets
bulging with food, did you?

- Did you say food?
- Yes, sir. His parents are
immigrants in the third class.

He's been raiding the dining room tables
in the first class for leftovers.

Not that we blame the little fella, but,
if you allow one, they'll all descend on you.

- Of course.
- The little fella seems
to have given me the slip.

He's a clever little tyke.
Now, who left this about?

- That's mine. Thank you.
- I see, sir. Carry on.

- It's all clear.
- Merci, monsieur. Merci bien.!

Oh, you're very welcome.
What's your name, young man?

Marcel.
Marcel Corbeau.

Ah. Well, I'm Dr. Phillips.
It's a pleasure to meet you, Marcel.

Say, I'm looking
for a friend of mine.

He's supposed to be locked up
somewhere in the third-class area.

- Would you know anything about him?
- Friend?

- An American.
- Ah! Oui, oui, monsieur. The Americain.

- Good. You think you could take me to him?
- Oui. Come with me.

- Maybe you and I could figure out
some way to get in to see him.
- Oui, oui.

Here! Don't fool with that!

Tony.

Hey, Tony.

- Doug.
- Are you all right?

That radiation gimmick
of yours was great, Tony.

We were able to home right in on you.

I could even pick up the sound of
your voice right through those bulkheads.

I was able to pick
this point in time exactly.

You were out of your mind
to come here.

Now we're both stuck on the ship.

Leroy. Leroy!

Something's coming through.

[ Doug ]
No, we're not. I have this.

The guard's coming back.

They're together.

Ann, regulate the probe
for 50% less radiation absorption.

It's no good.

The captain won't believe it. He thinks
I'm some kind of conspirator already.

He'll say I had it printed.

- Why did you come here?
- I had to. You would have
done the same for me.

- But you know this ship is gonna sink tonight.
- Maybe not.

Doug, they won't listen,
I tell you. I have tried.

Tony, what if we were to get in to
the ship's wireless, take it over?

What if we were to wire for help
before the collision?

- There'd be no Titanic disaster.
- Exactly.

You're not afraid to try, are you?

The first thing we have to do
is take care of that guard out there.

All right.
He thinks you're in here alone.

Make some noise.

Let me outta this place!
You hear me!

I said let me out,
or I'll break a hole in this tub!

What the devil?

You're asking for it, all right.

[ Tapping Morse Code ]

[ Typing ]

Good afternoon, gentlemen.
May I help you?

[ Pounding Continues ]

The Dutch liner's
picked up our C.Q D.

[ Tapping Morse Code ]

Get away from there!
Stop him!

What on earth?

So, it's you.
I see you have a confederate.

- They were using the wireless, sir.
- What?

This is no longer a prank. You are in
serious trouble. I promise you that.

I know you didn't believe my friend here,
and you won't believe me.

But you can believe your own eyes.

This ship will strike an iceberg
at 1 1:40 tonight and go down.

- The story's all here in tomorrow's paper.
- Take them below.

This time, see that they stay there.

Captain, you've got to believe me!

Captain, we're getting
calls from many ships...

requesting our position
and the nature of our distress.

Tell them to disregard
all distress signals from this ship.

- We are in good order and safely under way.
- Aye, sir.

[ Ship's Horn Blowing ]

[ Piano:Ragtime ]

Oh, thank you.

[ Crash ]

- Come with me, Mr. Grainger.
- Aye, sir.

[ Tunnel Oscillating ]

- Would you wait outside
for a moment, Mr. Grainger.
- Aye, aye sir.

We have hit an iceberg,
just as the two of you predicted.

- How could you have known?
- Captain, the only explanation is the truth.

You see, we come from
the year 1 968.

We've traveled back
through time to this moment.

What's happening here
is history to us.

My reasoning cannot accept that.

In any case, when we repair damage
and reach New York...

perhaps a maritime inquiry
can fathom your story.

Captain, your ship is going down.

That is impossible.
This ship is unsinkable.

This ship is dead,
and so is everyone on board...

unless you give immediate orders
to lower the lifeboats!

Captain, we've warned you of the collision.
Please believe us about this.

What have you got to lose?
Order those lifeboats away.

[ Loud Crash ]

- Mr. Grainger.
- Sir.

Order the crew to begin
""abandon ship'' procedure.

- Abandon ship, sir? But-
- Do as I say.

Aye, aye, sir.

Very well, gentlemen.

With more than
2,300 souls on board...

I cannot afford to ignore
even the remotest possibility.

Your lifeboats will only
hold about 7 50.

How did you know that?

Well, despite the fact that
this ship was built and advertised...

as the vessel that could not be sunk...

your life-saving equipment
is insufficient and inadequate.

Are you telling me
that only 7 50 will survive?

Yes, sir.

I see.

My mind will not
let me believe you.

But I do believe in a God, gentlemen.

If what you say is true,
then only the fact that you were here...

will save those who do survive.

I would have to consider that
a miracle of God's mercy.

In a way, sir, perhaps it is.

Captain, do you think maybe we could
all be of more help on the decks?

Yes. Yes, of course.

It occurs to me now you may even know
whether I will die tonight.

Yes, sir, I'm afraid you will.

- [ Tunnel Oscillating ]
- [ Loud Crash ]

[ Men Shouting ]

You don't know that you can remove them
from their present time zone.

You might just kill them yourself.

What's our choice, General,
to let them die with that ship?

Even if you do remove them,
you won't have any control after that.

They'd disappear in time...

to any moment in the billions of years
of the past or future.

Is that any worse than condemning them
to certain death aboard the Titanic?

I wonder.

- Check the lifeboats on the upper deck.
I'll see below.
- Right.

[ People Shouting, Screaming ]

[ Woman ]
Help.! Help.!

Mr. Thomas. Only women and children
are to be allowed in the lifeboats.

- That order is not to be violated.
- Aye, aye, sir.

- Mr. Martin.
- Sir!

Advise the boiler room to
evacuate all stations immediately.

Mr. Williams. Assign six able-bodied seamen
to assist the passengers in steerage.

Aye, aye, sir.

[ Passengers Shouting, Screaming ]

- [ Loud Crashing ]
- [ Shouting, Screaming ]

[ Shouting, Screaming ]

Althea? What are you doing?
The ship is sinking.

- It doesn't matter for me.
- [ Loud Crash ]

- Althea.
- No, Tony. You don't understand.

I've no right to take a place
on one of those lifeboats.

I'm not a rich girl on holiday.
I'm just an ordinary schoolteacher.

I spent the last penny
of my savings for this trip.

What difference does that make?

The difference is
I'm going to die soon anyway.

- What are you talking about?
- I'm... ill.

There's a growth inside my head.
It's just a matter of months.

- Are you sure?
- My doctor in London is sure.

He said there's a doctor in New York who's
working on a new type of brain operation.

It's called... neurosurgery, I think.

But it's just a matter of months.

- There's really no hope.
- Of course there is.

Neurosurgery is not a fad,
and it's not hopeless.

Althea, some brain operations have become
as commonplace as taking out tonsils.

- Become?
- Althea, you'll just have to trust me.

The chances that you can be helped
are probably much better than you think.

Are you a doctor too?

No, I am not a doctor,
and you've no right to play God.

I'm not even attempting
to play God.

You're deciding when it's time for you
to live or die. You don't have that right.

You are asking me
to believe in miracles.

I am asking you
to believe in life, not death.

Althea, please, believe in me.

- Put this on.
- What's going to happen to you?

- Never mind that now. Hurry.
- I won't see you again.

Come on, miss, if you're going.

Tony, there's trouble on ""A'' Deck.
Follow me.

[ Screaming ]

Doug! Tony!

- Freeze them!
- What happened to them?

They're alive-
if the time transfer worked.

- Where?
- We don't really know.

- Can we establish any limits?
- Not with certainty.

- [ Kirk ] Hurry.! They're dying.!
- Accelerate power.

The Tunnel's gone blank.

Well, wherever he and Doug are now...

at least they're together.

But where?

We couldn't begin to guess.

Leroy, SergeantJiggs
will escort you to the surface.

- A car's waiting for you there.
- Thanks, Woody.

- Good-bye, Doctor.
- Good-bye, Senator,
and thank you very much, sir.

Of course, my committee
will take no action on this...

until Phillips and Newman
are safely back...

or beyond hope.

But I, uh- I will have to give
some estimate of their chances.

We're doing everything we can.

We're perfecting our technique
and apparatus every day.

I'd have to say,
without trying to be funny...

that it's just a matter of time.

Well, it always helps
to keep a sense of humor about things.

- Good-bye, Doctor. Good luck, Woody.
- Good-bye, sir.

- Leroy.
- [Jiggs ] This way, sir.

Ray.

Are you being optimistic,
or am I being pessimistic?

Well, General, we know
they're still alive...

and we've started
another location probe.

[ Scoffs ]
Which won't mean beans...

unless they can survive...
wherever they are.

[ Man On Speaker ]
This is Mission Control.

We are at launch
minus 60 seconds and counting.

Launch minus 55.

Minus 50.

Minus 45.

Launch minus 40 and counting.

- Minus 35.
- It's a rocket.

Tony, if this is one of those
early Canaveral jobs...

we could be blown up
right here on the pad.

Minus 25.

- Minus 20 and counting.
- [ Straining ]

- It's no use. It's locked off.
- Fifteen.

Get down here quick.
Off your feet.

Ten, nine, eight...

seven, six, five...

four, three, two...
