All language subtitles for Asteroid-a-Geddon.2020.1080p.WEBRip.x264-RARBG

Everyone!

Everyone, please, please!

Quiet down so we can hear
one another speak!

I've just been
informed the Russians

have launched a nuke
at 2200QL.

Impact with the asteroid
in T-five minutes.

Mr. Turgenev, this is
a global situation.

And any actions to be considered
must be mutually agreed upon

among all the delegates!

This summit has gotten
nowhere in days

with all the arguing and petty
bickering amongst all of you.

So we, Russia,
have taken action.

Heaven help us if
this fails, Mr. Turgenev.

And when we succeed,
Mr. Chairman, what then?

We forget about your threats.

We accept your apology.
We shake hands.

We have video downlink from
the Russian shuttle, Buran 1.

Let's get it up on the screen.

Here we go.

It's a momentary loss.

Download will be back
up in a second.

The signal just needs to be
reacquired by the satellite.

See what you've done!

Your country's arrogance
has jeopardized

the entire planet further!

Those smaller fragments
will surely hit earth

long before the core!

Nikola?

Did you take your medicine?

Just took it.

You need to stay on top of that.

It makes no difference, Elaine.

It's only prolonging
the inevitable, huh?

You're gonna make
a go at it, aren't you?

Hmm.

You're going to stop 2200QL?

One last grand accomplishment
to cement my legacy, huh?

Yeah, but, please
don't talk like that.

Look, the heat from
the nuclear warhead

was able to break up
the outer crust.

But the core must be composed
of something

we've never seen before,
something like a substance

that is impurity free graphite,
yet crystalline in structure.

Finding diamonds in an
asteroid core is quite rare.

Indeed.

Indeed.

If this is one of those
rare instances,

how do we cut diamonds, Elaine?

With a laser.

The Russian nuclear warhead,
it did, however,

slow the core down
giving us some more time.

Oh, well, how long?

Let's see.

56 days now.

But what about the thousands of
meteors rocketing towards us?

Those will arrive much sooner,
I'm afraid.

Do we know how big they are?

A few appear to be in
excess of 30 meters.

The smaller ones will
burn up in the atmosphere

or will result
in meteorite showers.

May not be much warning
in some cases.

Well, we didn't have much
of a warning with 2200QL

jumping its orbit like we did.

Hmm.

Elaine, put together
a list of the top metallurgical

and geochemistry experts
for me, please.

Nikola, your daughter,
Alexandra,

is one of the foremost experts
in both those occupations.

So why not bring here
on this project with you?

No.

Please put together that list.
We don't have much time.

Okay.

Alexandra?

Here.

Hmm.

That's an odd pattern, isn't it?

That's what I was thinking.

Seems like manmade chemical
structure, not organic.

You can actually
see the discoloration

if you look closely.

Yeah.

Hamari, get the data from 2016.

Right away.

Alexandra, your dad's assistant
is asking me to call her again.

Ignore it, Roland.

It's just the
usual three-month ploy

to try to get me
and dad to talk.

Well, she did type
"very important"

in all caps this time,
so she's yelling.

And I'm saying, in all caps,
"ignore it".

Okay.

Now she's texting me.

Me too.

That's it.
Bring your phones up.

Maybe it's important.

What if your dad got hurt
or the lab burned down?

And if it was something that
serious, she'd leave a message.

Now come on.
Bring them here.

Alexandra, what are we?
In kindergarten?

Where we're going next, there's
no phone reception anyway.

We'll be cut off.

Okay, back to work.

We'll go at it another hour
and then break for lunch.

- Sound good?
- Uh-huh.

As he came out of the temple,
one of his disciples

said to him, "Look, Teacher,
what wonderful stones

and what wonderful buildings."

And Jesus said to him, "Do you
see these great buildings?

"There will not be left here,
one stone upon another,

that will not be thrown down."

And his disciples asked him,
"Tell us.

"When will these things be?

"And what will be the signs
when all these things

are about to be accomplished?"

That time is now, everyone.

Our time on earth draws near.

That asteroid racing
towards us is from God!

It is God's divine will.

It's a reason to rejoice,
a time to be happy.

But there are people, sinners!

There are those who still
attempt to fight God's will!

We all heard about
the Russians

launching a nuclear weapon
against the asteroid

and all it did was break
off the outer crust.

Now we have hundreds
of small meteors

that will hit earth
before the asteroid itself does!

So instead of it all coming
to one swift end

like God had planned,

for weeks we will suffer
from meteor strikes

that will cause
unnecessary pain.

That means it's time
to wage war,

a time to let
God's will take its course!

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

It's time to put an end
to this Global Summit

and their interference!

Do you hear me?

There are no other options
that can be done besides

using more nuclear weapons
to stop 2200QL.

The missile the Russians
fired did in fact

slow down the velocity
of 2200QL.

- General Quinn?
- Mm-hm?

There is an American ship out
there in the same quadrant, yes?

Yes. There's an Orion
Deep Space Habitat in orbit

a few thousand kilometers
from Buran One.

But it does not
carry any ordnance.

Perhaps we do not need ordnance.

Explain.

Kinetic impact.

Kinetic impact?

You mean maneuvering a
spacecraft into the asteroid?

We're not sacrificing the lives
of American astronauts

at this point, Mr. Turgenev.

But if the Orion
could rendezvous with the Buran

to evacuate the cosmonauts,

then the Buran could be
navigated into impacting 2200QL.

That kinetic impact
could be enough

to offset the asteroid's
trajectory.

Am I right?

- Yes.
- I say let's try it.

Any objections from
the nations on this proposal?

What about the smaller
meteorites headed for earth?

What do we do about them?

Nothing we can do about them

from a militarily or
technological aspect.

It'd be too risky to take them
out with a ballistic missile.

They're moving too fast
and many of them

are likely to burn up
in the atmosphere.

Do we know where the first
meteorites will strike?

The Philippines will be
among the first to encounter

a substantial meteorite storm.

A meteor of about 30 meters
will hit off the coast of

Chile, South America in an
undeveloped part of the region.

Australia, too,
will be hit hard.

But most of those impacts
will happen

in unpopulated regions
of the Outback.

We must also be
vigilant regarding

the residual effects
of these impacts:

possible tsunamis,
changes to our ecosystem

and destruction as well
and changes to our climate.

Make sure we all have
the proper scientists

allocated to these needs.

Nikola?

I've been going through these
metallurgical experts' analysis.

What are they teaching
in learning institutions

these days?
It's an embarrassment!

Did you trying
reaching Alexandra?

I've been trying.
It just keeps ringing.

Well, she must be somewhere
where there's no cell reception.

I know she's somewhere
on the coast of Chile

where NASA announced the next
meteor storm will strike.

She's actually in Chile?
How do you know that?

Well, I made a social media
account years ago of a young man

with tattoos who's an
environmental activist.

She accepted the request,
so now I always have some idea

where and what she's up to.

How come you never told me that?

Well, I thought you
would consider that spying

and you would not approve.

No.

You're her father.
You're allowed to spy.

Hmm.

But she is a very smart girl

and I'm sure she knows
what's going on.

I sincerely hope so.

What's wrong?

My father's been calling.

Well, Elaine was
texting all of us.

Yeah, I know, Himari,

but dad hasn't called me
in over two years,

not since I resigned
from the Geo One project.

Look, with what's going on
in the world,

maybe he's finally
trying to make peace.

You should, too.
He's your father.

Just check your messages.
See what he said.

What is it?

The message kept breaking up.

Something about
the Russian's failed attempt

trying to stop 2200QL.

Meteor is headed for earth
way ahead of schedule.

Then I couldn't
make out the rest.

Just call him back.

I will, but I want
to get set up first.

This is Buran One.
We are slowing trajectory,

turning off attitude Control
and going to manual.

Do you copy, Orion?

Copy that.
Take your time Buran One.

Buran One, we are clear
for you to dock.

We are accelerating
800 meters off your port side,

making corrections.

Copy that.

Buran One!
Buran One!

You have a fast-moving
object headed towards you

on the intercept course!
You're about to get hit!

We are aware, Orion.
Taking evasive action.

Orion, what is your position?

Are you clear of the meteor?

We are clear.

Giving the engines a little bit
of thrust to be sure.

Worried about Buran One,
though.

Buran One!

The first meteors start
hitting earth today.

Mass evacuations
in the Philippines.

When does the actual
asteroid hit us?

The big one?

46 days.

Dad's calling again.

You should answer.

Must be really important
if he's calling you this much.

Get 'em going!

Hello, Dad.

Have you been following 2200QL?

Nice to hear your voice, Dad.

Yes, I've been following 2200QL.

I imagine you're working on it.

It's nice to hear your
voice as well.

There are things
we should discuss.

But at the moment, I think we
have more pressing matters, hmm?

You're breathing kind of heavy.
Are you okay?

There are meteors projected
to land in your vicinity.

A large one will
strike offshore.

Wait.
You know where I am?

Your social media.

So you're saying
we're in the impact zone?

Are you sure?

Yes.

Smaller ones, those that don't
burn up in the atmosphere,

most are expected
to fall offshore.

But you know how the atmosphere
can alter trajectory, huh?

Why are you coughing like that?
Are you sick?

On the chance that
some reach earth,

I want you to
study the fragments.

I want you to find out
the metallurgical composition

and get it to me immediately.

Of course, be vigilant.
Seek cover.

Okay. Yeah, I can do that.

Are you okay?

The first of the meteors
should be landing any minute!

Please, seek cover!

Please call to let me
know you're okay.

Hey, guys, apparently
we're in the impact zone.

What?

Looks like most of them
are gonna hit offshore.

But let's just get the equipment
in the car

and find somewhere to
take shelter just in case.

And if any of the
meteorites hit land,

my father wants us
to take a metallurgical sample

and send it to him.

He's working on
stopping the 2200QL.

All right.

Hey. How did it go?

We don't really have
time for this.

But it was nice to talk to him.

Same shit as always.

He wants me to do all
the legwork for him.

And I'm sure he'll take
all the credit

and reap in the research grants.

Maybe this time
it'll be different.

Given the world is at stake,

it doesn't really matter
this time anyway.

Are we all loaded up?
Let's go!

- Get in!
- No, no!

They're coming in at an angle!

If one of those things
slams through the front

or back windshield,
you'll get cut to shreds

with imploding glass!

Get on the driver side
of the car!

Press yourself up
against the car!

Pull your knees in
and cover your head.

Hey, I think...

I think it stopped already.

That was quick.

We got to move fast.

Looks like one of those large
meteorites hit just offshore.

Might have displaced
a hell of a lot of water.

Come on buddy, let's go.

Give me any firearm,

I'll disassemble it and
put it back together

with my eyes closed.

But this computer stuff
is beyond me.

Luckily, while you were a grunt,

I was sitting in
front of a computer

at Cheyenne Mountain Complex
all day.

And to think how I used to beat
up those Air Force boys

on R&R in Germany.

Luck for you I wasn't there.

I would have kicked your ass.

Okay... and... I am in.

So what am I looking at?

All right.
You see this right here?

Mm-hm.

They're having issues with
their propulsion

for their Mars rocket project.

And right here are
the correspondents

which are trying
to correct it.

So what I'm gonna do
is delete them.

Yeah, but can any
IT expert just recover them?

Yes, of course.

That's why I slowed
them down a bit.

If I can keep
causing these delays,

maybe they'll miss
their launch window

and they'll run out of time.

Let's see what other
problems I can stir up.

Mr. Chairman,
sorry to interrupt,

but I need a word
with you in private.

Of course.

We'll discuss this further.
Just give us a moment.

What's going on, General?

I just received word RRP
Propulsions have a major breach.

Information on the Mars rocket
propulsion got wiped out.

This can set them
back a couple of days

to recover the lost data.

Hmm.

RRP was the company
selected by the Summit.

Perhaps we should look elsewhere
to get the Mars rocket up there?

Yes, sir.

Alexandra?
Think we got enough?

Let's grab a few more
for ourselves.

My hands are numb.
Give me a minute.

Hey!

Anybody notice this?

Notice what?

You were right about
the water displacement.

The tide's gone out... way out.

Grab everything... quick!

- Tsunami?
- Yes. Get everything to the car!

Yeah.

Guys, we need to hurry!

- Let's go!
- I'm on it!

Faster!
Go faster!

Going as fast as I can, Hugo!

Go that way!

Hold on, hold on.

Come on! Come on!

How close is it?

You don't wanna know!
Keep driving!

Go! Go! Go!

We made it.

Good job!

Roland, pull off the road.

Okay, stop the car.

Wow.

Looks like we're gonna
be stuck here

for a little bit
'til the waters recede.

As soon as they do,

we'll pack up and
get out of here.

I never thought I'd be so
happy to hear you say that.

It shouldn't take long.

We should leave for
the airport by evening.

Hey, how is that hardness
analysis looking, Roland?

Whatever this carbon bond is,

it makes Lonsdaleite
look like tinfoil.

I've never seen a geologic
compound this strong,

- so resistant to stress.
- I know.

There's no cleavage plains
in any of the samples we took.

And the chemical bonding of
the different atoms is amazing.

I don't think a disbursed
source of energy

like a nuclear weapon is
gonna crack that core.

It's gonna take a
concentrated laser

to break that asteroid apart
and keep it from hitting earth.

A very strong laser at that.

I'm gonna call Dad,
tell him that we're gonna be

back in California
tomorrow morning.

And then we'll bring
him his samples then.

Guys, I cannot wait
to get out of here.

- You're telling me.
- I feel the same way.

I owe you guys an apology.

I'm agoraphobic.

I really freaked out
when we were outside.

Yeah, you were freaking out.
It's all good, though.

Don't tell Alexandra, please?

You've reached Nikola.
I'm unable to take your call.

Alexandra?

Hey, Elaine.

I was just trying to call Dad,

but it kept going
straight to voice.

I'm at the hospital
with your father now.

He's... he's very ill.
How soon can you get here?

Uh, well, we'll be in
a plane in the next hour.

We'll be back there
tomorrow morning.

Is that why he was
coughing like that?

What's going on?

Yeah. He's, uh...

He's been sick
for several weeks.

I'm gonna explain
everything when you get here.

But, please, please,
just come quickly, okay?

Okay, okay, yeah.
We'll be there in the morning.

What's the matter?

Dad's in the hospital.

What happened?

I don't know.

Figure it out when
we get there.

Let's check our plane.
Let's go.

Hey, Alex, how you doing?

That was a stupid question.

I'm okay.

Thank you for
everything you did.

Where are we at
with everything?

Your father did complete
a laser design

and I think it's
perfect to stop 2200QL.

Nothing we can do to it
to make it any better.

He was thinking
just like you were

without even seeing
samples of the asteroid.

He was a brilliant man.

Listen, take as much time
as you need.

I know this must be tough
for you that you

didn't get to say goodbye.

Does it really matter
how I feel?

We don't have time
to say anymore.

Your father had also scheduled
a meeting with the 2200QL summit

for this week to give
them his proposal.

I know you hate big government,
but this is bigger than that.

Yeah.
I'm not dumb, Himari.

Roland, give Dad's design and
laser schematics to Hugo.

I wonder which of the private
sector aeronautics companies

might have any
available rockets?

Vanguard had a Copernicus
rocket ready for us

on that last satellite upgrade
that got set back.

They might still have it.

It would be perfect for getting
the laser up to the asteroid.

That's right.
Let's give them a call.

Maybe we'll be in luck.

Himari, confirm Dad's
meeting with the Summit.

Tell them what happened.

Let them know that I'll be going
there in his place.

Right away.

You knew how your Dad was.

He didn't want you to be upset,

especially when there
wasn't anything that you

or anybody could have
done for him.

Just let me know when
you need something. Okay?

Okay, thanks, Elaine.

Given the complexity of
the crystalline core of 2200QL,

it's much too dense
to try and stop

with another nuclear missile.

The carbon bonds holding
the different metals together

are too strong.

A warhead disperses its energy.

We need to pinpoint
and concentrate

a physical force
to break the core apart.

Furthermore, the asteroid's
rotation and velocity

are too great now
to try and alter its trajectory

using missiles, as well.

I know that was
brought up earlier.

Yes?

Wouldn't you agree that
the previous nuclear blast

has surely weakened the core,
Ms. Svoboda?

And that a second nuclear
warhead would destroy it?

It's a possibility, yes,
a slim one at that.

And I don't think we can afford
not to entertain an alternative.

Because if this fails,
we don't have time

for a third effort
before impact.

And this laser you propose,

we're only 39 days away
from the asteroid

impacting the earth itself.

How far out
from production is it?

Well, we haven't actually
started building it yet.

But we've been analyzing
the metallurgical structure

of the samples we took
in the field, and...

We are less than two weeks away

from launching
another nuclear weapon.

I get that, but it won't take
that long to build this laser,

two weeks at most.

What's important
is to decipher

what it's gonna take
to blow this thing apart.

And my concern is that
another nuclear weapon

is going to fail just
like the first attempt.

And I understand your point,
but the Mars X1

has over twice the payload
capacity of our first effort!

Sir! I am one of the leading
metallurgical experts

and geochemists in the world!

And I'm telling you
that a nuclear...

Don't make the mistake
of judging me

based on my appearance!

Ignorance can be a real bitch!

Ms. Svoboda...

first, our sincere condolences
on the loss of your father.

He was a great man,
great scientist and innovator.

The world is a better
place because of him.

We greatly appreciate
you coming here

and sharing your
findings with us.

My thought is
we continue our path.

You do what you feel
is necessary.

And, hopefully, between all
of our concentrated efforts,

we can stop this thing together.

Listen...

We're wasting time!

Very well.

Thank you for your time.

Good luck.

With your permission,
I'd like to give DOD and NASA

the go ahead to outfit Mars X1
with their own propulsion unit.

There's too many cooks
in the kitchen,

not to mention
we're running out of time.

RRP continues to have
security breaches.

Do it, but...

keep the DOD and NASA's
singular effort off the radar.

Yes, sir.

With the protective
shield nearly in place,

we are minutes away
from commencing the Teloch laser

limited capacity beta test.

I've managed to make
a replica of the 2200QL's core

based off actual samples
and elements

most closely related to
the alien carbon compound.

Granted, the composition
is not entirely accurate,

but hopefully close enough
to conduct our studies.

I'm using deuterium fluoride
in this first trial.

Did you get all that, Elaine?

Yes, of course. Sorry.

Himari, start at 300 kilowatts
and a 7.5 millimeter beam.

Again, the subject material

is composed primarily
from nickel and iron.

For spite,
don't put that in there.

I'm calling it
Svobodium Carbonate.

The proposed protocol is
to take the laser up by rocket,

attach it to one of
our larger satellite,

model Aristotle, and attempt
to destroy 2200QL.

- Boom.
- We got it.

Goggles on, everyone.

Here we go...

Three, two, one.

Going to static beam.

Increasing to 500 kilowatts
and decreasing

to a five millimeter beam...

And we're clear.

Intermittent attempts failed.

However, a concentrated
beam began to penetrate

the surface at 300 kilowatts
at 7.5 millimeters.

When increased
to 500 kilowatts

and decreased
to a five millimeter beam,

the penetration was deeper.

But at the cost of the
housing structural integrity

which is composed of
a tungsten composite.

Okay, we have two
options here.

We could either reinforce the
density and composition

of the housing or...

we use titanium doped sapphire
for the laser energy source,

decision dependent
on time frame, availability

and expectancy of the
materials delivered.

Alexandra, I don't think
TiDS would even scratch

the surface of this.

Take a look.

You're right.

Scratch that about
the sapphire, Elaine.

We're gonna have to stay
with the deuterium fluoride.

But, on the day, we're going
to do 10 peta-watts

of energy at that thing.

So we need to construct
a housing

that can withstand
that kind of heat.

And not be too heavy to
be held by our satellites.

What about tantalum carbide?

A ceramic.

Good call, Hugo.

Himari?

I believe we have
everything to start work

on the laser:
optics, network, all that.

All we need is the tantalum
for the housing, correct?

Yes. We have everything to
begin laser construction.

And we have a Copernicus rocket
on standby at Vanguard

from that fluorocarbon
mission that we canceled.

Hugo, start designing a
housing with tantalum specs.

Himari, you and I are gonna
be working on the optics.

Roland, I need you
to find the closest

and most expedient purveyor
of tantalum carbide

and get it here ASAP.

I don't care what the cost.
I'll pay for it.

We're really cutting it
close on this thing, guys.

Mr. Chairman, NASA has
issued a correction

on the next meteor showers.

Southern tip of Alaska and
the Bering Sea remain constant.

However, a stretch over
Wyoming and Utah has changed.

The spread is now
from Utah to Nevada.

When is impact?

Within the hour.

FEMA and the State Department,

of course, have been
notified, correct?

As we speak, sir.

Warnings are being
issued to stay inside.

Stay inside?

The meteorites the
fall over Utah

will be about the size
of baseballs.

The authorities have determined

it's safer to remain inside
than to be out in the streets.

Plus the storm should
last only a few minutes.

In Nevada, some of the
meteorites will be larger.

Again, it's been determined
it's safer to remain inside.

The larger meteorites are
projected to land somewhere

outside the Las Vegas
city limits.

This is an urgent message from
the Emergency Broadcast System.

There has been a change
in today's meteor

location strike zones.

Previous warnings were
given for strike zones

extending from Wyoming to Utah.

Revised strike zone
is Utah to Nevada.

We say again, Utah to Nevada.

Yo, we just lost our
tantalum carbide shipment!

What?

Steve got caught in
a meteor storm in Nevada.

He's dead!

What? We lost our shipment?
Who's Steve?

Steven Hollander, Alexandra,

head of our transpo
and our lead truck driver.

He was driving the truck.

Did Mr. Hollander have a family?
Kids?

Yeah. He had all of those.

Okay.

Offer our condolences
and see what we can do,

whatever they need.

Roland, can you see if maybe
we can have another order?

That supplier's out.

They sent us everything
they had on that last truck.

Next distributor
is on the east coast.

Call them, please?

Got it.

Hugo, I want you to figure out
every angle you can

in the event that
we can stay with

the tungsten housing
for the laser.

Gotcha.

Everyone? Everyone,
may I have your attention?

I've been notified that the
United States Defense Department

in association with NASA

and the National Nuclear
Security Administration

have achieved a propulsion unit
that's capable of delivering

the Mars X1,
a 15 megaton rocket.

It's scheduled to launch
in the next 48 hours.

America has done exactly what
you opposed Russia of doing!

I realize that.

Acting alone without
the Summit's consent!

I realize that!

And I still want the Summit
to continue its work

in the event this effort
too shall fail!

But time is critical!

In fact, if any of the
other countries feel

that they have
a propulsion engine capable

of delivering a warhead
right now, do it!

Yes? What is it, Laura?

I'm sorry to bother you here.

But I have some new information
I think you'd like to know.

I'm sure I told you my
parents died in this house

during a fire
when I was a young boy.

You did mention that to me.

And I'm sorry.
That's terrible.

It was a test of faith,

but certainly nothing I could
compare to the trials of Job.

What do you have to report?

We might have a new player
in the private sector.

Really?

Who?

Svoboda Enterprises.

Nikola Svoboda, the famous
scientist that recently passed.

His daughter is taking over now.

She went to the 2200QL Summit,

offered her help
and was turned away.

I wonder why.

You seen
what she looks like?

She's one of those Occupy Market
Street vegan hipsters

with piercings all over.

Reports say that she
wasn't too well received.

Do we know if she'll
try to pursue

to stop the asteroid on her own?

That's the question.

Well, beside her Bohemian act,

do we know anything else bout
this girl's religious faith?

Well, I couldn't find anything.

Dig in the Svoboda's networks.

Find out what they're up to.

I'll do some research on her.

Maybe she's one to listen
to reason, for all we know.

Hey, guys!

The NASA broadcast on the
Mars X1 rocket already started.

Why don't you have it on?

How much do you want to bet
that as soon as this fails

to stop the asteroid,
someone will be calling us?

Maybe it'll work.

It's not gonna work.

Have you ever had to
use that stuff for real?

Once, when I was 17.

What happened?

He didn't know the word "no".

What did you do to him?

Here we go.

Mars guidance has converged.
TC is looking good.

Thrusters at full.
Axes are good.

We are a GO.
Warhead is engaged.

2200QL contact minus
eight minutes.

I say again, we are a GO.
Warhead is engaged.

2200QL contact minus
eight minutes.

NASA's Mars X1 rocket

is racing towards
2200QL's core.

Time of impact is in
the next several minutes.

We, and all the inhabitants
of Earth can only wait and pray

that this attempt
will destroy the asteroid

headed for us,
once and for all,

before it strikes earth
in less than 30 days.

God help us all.

SAR is picking up some
heavy interference.

Entering Meteor Path.
Retrorockets engaged.

Stand by.

I trust structurally
reinforcements have been made

for this so it doesn't detonate
prematurely?

They have, sir.
It'll be fine.

Whew, close one, everybody.

Resume standard trajectory.
Thrusters engaged.

Axes looking good.

All right, here we go.

We are minus
60 seconds from contact.

We are minus 60 seconds
from contact.

Holding steady.

Contact successful.

Pull it back up!

Mars X1.

Do we have visual confirmation
the target was destroyed?

I repeat.

Do we have visual confirmation
that the target was destroyed?

SAR reading no change
in 2200QL composition.

I say again, no change
in 2200QL composition.

Now what do we do?

Everyone, please!

Even though the Mars X1 didn't
destroy the asteroid as planned,

there's an outstanding chance
we've changed the trajectory.

Well, what if it hasn't?

What if nuclear weapons
won't stop it?

Call the girl!

Svoboda's child. Call her.

Mr. Chairman?

Pleasance?

I think we need to consider
bringing Alexandra Svoboda back.

We studied those samples
we got from her

and that nuke still didn't
break the asteroid up.

Maybe we should wait
and listen to what

she has to say this time, hmm?

Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, of course.

Please call her.

- Go on.
- What?

This is the first time
she's probably slept in days.

Let's give her a little
more time, what do you say?

And suffer her wrath
when she finds out

we didn't tell her immediately?
Yeah, no thanks.

Hey, what time is it?

A little after eight. A.M.

Crap.

I must have fallen asleep.

It's understandable.

What? What's going on?
I know those looks.

Somehow the orders for the
tantalum carbide got canceled.

What? What do you mean?

How did it get canceled?

I got an email saying
the orders were canceled.

They had our authorization code.

How's this possible?

We don't know.

We've been working on this
for the last half hour.

That makes no sense.

Well, place another order while
we figure out what happened!

Our assets are frozen somehow.

What?

How are our assets frozen?

We have no idea.
We don't know what's going on.

The bank representative we
spoke to said it had something

to do with the Patriot Act.

But Elaine put
a call in to our attorney.

We're not terrorists!

We know, Alexandra.
Please don't yell.

This is ridiculous.

Elaine, you're in contact
with the lawyers?

Yeah, I am.

What?
What haven't you told me?

The Summit called also.

Now they want your help.

Well, they can kiss my ass!

You sure about that?

Because I'm willing to bet they
have plenty of tantalum carbide.

Then we go with tungsten!

I'm not working
with the government.

They'll only slow us down
or try to micromanage us.

We don't have time
for their bullshit.

You all went with me
to the Summit!

It's chaotic!

No one knows what
they're doing over there!

There's no time!

Hugo, see if we can reinforce
the housing with tungsten.

And follow up with Vanguard
to confirm the Copernicus rocket

is prepped
and ready to transport

our Teloch laser to the
Aristotle.

You got it.

Himari, make coffee.
Do something.

Let's get to work!

They want our help?
They can go screw themselves.

These religious cults are
everywhere. Freaks!

Did you consider
what they were saying?

No. Are you crazy?

I've got the nearest Aristotle
satellite moving into position.

How's the coding?

Almost done.

- Alexandra?
- Yes?

I just want to tell you that
the attorneys are still trying

to figure out what's
going on with our assets.

Okay.
Thanks, Elaine.

How's it coming?

We're doing fine.

We managed to get the weight
down on the fuel cell.

And Hugo's working
on the housing.

Huh.

Is it just me or has
she been acting

a little strange
the last few weeks?

I don't know.

With my dad passing
and everything,

she's taken it kinda hard.

She worked for him for years.

Doesn't she have
all the access codes?

Yeah. She has more access
and knows more

about the company than I do.

She was dad's right hand.

You think she might have
had something to do

with the order cancel
and the frozen assets?

Why would she do that?
She worked for him for years.

I don't know.
Just a thought.

Where are you going?

Restroom.

Alexandra?

Yeah. How you doing, Trey?

I'm all right.

I'm just surprised
to hear from you.

Yeah. I know, I know.
But, hey, listen.

I've got some kind of
a breach in my network.

Think you could come over
and take a look?

I'll pay you for your time...

well, when our assets
are unfrozen.

Your assets are frozen?

It's part of the problem.

I'll explain when you get here.

Can you come quickly?

Sure, sure.
I'll be right over.

Okay, thanks Trey.

No problem.

Look, look!

The Chinese have almost
prepared another missile...

No, no, no!
No more missiles!

This is a waste
of everyone's time.

What about Svoboda's daughter?

She turned us down.

You should have accepted
her help the first time.

She has informed us, however,
that she and her team

are working on a laser.

And why have
we not worked on a laser?

Because the Global Treaty
passed two years ago

that put a stop to laser
development for weaponization,

a treaty I was never
in favor of.

However, no government or
facility has all the necessary

materials to currently
build such a weapon

in the short amount of
time we have left.

Then perhaps we should
be offering her assistance.

So, um, are you seeing anybody?

Seriously?

I mean, I just thought I'd ask.

I mean, I haven't seen
anybody since we broke up.

Neither have I.

But I'm a little busy trying
to save the earth

from an asteroid, so focus.

All right.

Now lucky for you, your
server's located here onsite.

And I found who logged in
and sent off

the email of canceling
your order.

You know, they did
a pretty good job

trying to erase their signature.

You know, they almost missed it.

I also found a trace from
the same person alerting

to the State Department
some terroristic activities.

I mean, you know, that is
what got your assets canceled.

Oh, wow. Okay.

Wait.
Are you sure that's right?

Yeah. Look right here.
Look at the login.

Sorry, Alex.

What do I owe you?

Oh, nothing.
I'm just happy to help.

Are you sure?

Yeah, definitely.

You're not gonna come back later
and say that I owe you anything?

Alex, have a little faith
in humanity, okay?

I'm not gonna do that,
all right?

And I made this for you.

What is this?

It's a manual override
in case your servers gets

attacked or anything.

Oh.

Thank you.

No problem.

Alexandra's calling me.

Hello?

Hey, where are you right now?

Hugo and I are
in the power room.

We had to reroute some
stuff to work on Teloch One's

heat shielding dynamics.

Is anybody with you right now?

No. Just the two of us.

Why? What's up?

Quick. I need you two to come to
the office as soon as you can.

And don't say
anything to anyone else.

Understood?

Okay.

What was that about?

I don't know. She wants us
to come to her place.

Thought I'd find you here.

Hey, guys, what's up?

Why?

Why what?

The stupid thing to do
would have been

to try to sabotage Teloch.

But to suggest that Elaine was
behind the most recent problems?

Well, that wasn't
too smart either.

What are you talking about?

If I was smarter,
I would realize that

you had known me
since I was young.

You knew the name of the
first boy that I kissed,

my favorite stuffed animal,
my favorite toys,

my favorite numbers, colors,

the things that
my dad didn't even know.

You knew.

And had I been smarter, I would
have realized that

if anybody knew any
of the pass codes,

that it would have been you.

Why, Himari?

I looked after you
your whole life.

And you treated me like
your babysitter or your maid.

I grew up watching
your narcissistic father

brag about what
a great man he was

and all of the things he'd done.

You used to bitch
that you didn't want

to be anything like him!

Well, guess what?

You are exactly like him!

Any time you and your
father did anything,

the primary focus was to feel
your own self-importance.

Neither of you really
cared how anyone felt

or what they believed

or what they wanted.

It was always only about
what you two wanted

and what you two believed.

Let's take a look
at you right now, huh?

Are you just busting your
ass building this laser

to save the world or to
make yourself feel important?

Did you shun the Summit
to show them like

all your other bullshit
activism at the cost,

Alexandra, of the entire world
being wiped out?

What are the real reasons?

Maybe this was
a final "F you" to your dad

because you resent him?

For being so embarrassed
with your ridiculous appearance

when you guys were working
on Geo One?

Which, by the way, was the
real reason that he kept you

out of the spotlight for all of
your hard work on that project.

That truth hurts, doesn't it?

But you know why I did it?

It wasn't about you...

and I know that crushes you.

I've read that email
from Divine Will

and I reached out to them.

And they listened to me
and I listened to them.

I think they're right.

This world has run its course.

You always said that
we were destroying the earth.

And I've always agreed
with you about that.

So why not let God destroy
what He created?

This gentleman is going to take
you to clear your office.

You can leave your
key card on my desk.

Sure thing, boss.

Elaine, are you still
in contact with our lawyers?

Yeah.

It's still gonna be a while
until our assets are unfrozen.

There still needs to be
an official investigation

looking into the
accusations, so...

Hugo?

Can we stay with
the tungsten for housing?

I've done what I can.

Okay.

Let's get ready to launch.

Svoboda, this is Vanguard.

I'll be with you until
we get the Copernicus docked

with the Aristotle.

You are loud and clear,
Vanguard.

Thank you for your help today.

The pleasure is mine.

Copernicus has
established orbit.

Rocket booster confirmed
for orbital coast.

Rocket booster confirmed
for orbital coast, copy.

Hey, Vanguard, this is Svoboda.

I'm detecting a Delta
azimuth in our area.

Can you confirm?

Good catch on your end,
Svoboda.

Delta azimuth correction
is negative 0.11.

Correction is negative 0.11.

Suggest we do
L32 alignment with consent.

Affirmative.

You are go for L32 alignment
detecting angle 0.11.

All righty. We'll get that
handled for you folks pronto.

Thrusters are
looking good to us.

All axes are firing.

Would you like us to copy
alignment results?

He doesn't need to, I got them.
Sending them over to you now.

Roger that, Svoboda.

Time of periapsis passage
is minus 120.

Read back correct.

It's all you from here
on out, Vanguard.

We're just spectators.

Copy that, Svoboda.
You're in good hands.

We'll get your Teloch
laser gun docked on

to the Aristotle momentarily.

Then hand it back over
to you guys.

Alexandra, these guys are good.

They loaded all the equipment
onto the Artemis series.

Never had a problem.

Copernicus velocity vector
is minus 39, plus 15, 38, 76.

Engaging Aristotle.

PYRO looking good.

Okay, Svoboda, we're going to
let the ACS take it from here.

And in layman's terms,
we're turning on the lights.

Okay, Svoboda, check
your downlink for me.

We're all good down here,
Vanguard.

Downlink established
and operational.

All right.

It's been a pleasure working
with you guys again.

Good luck.
Vanguard out.

Moment of truth, guys.

Roland, I'm gonna
need you to monitor

the depth of penetration
of 2200QL.

Copy that.

Hugo, I need you to keep
an eye on Teloch's

structural integrity
of the housing.

Got it.

Maneuvering Teloch to

LAT 32, 56, 318.

Angle of attack
is minus 32, 56, 318.

Target acquired and locked on.

Firing up transducer.

Goodnight, sucker!

What'd you do?

I cut off their
connection network

so they can't monitor
what I'm about to do.

Which is?

Gonna throw in a virus.

It's gonna crash
their whole server.

It's gonna take them days
to fix this damage.

What happened?

I don't know!

Somebody step on a power grid?

Or pull a loose cable
with their feet?

Nothing's rebooting!

Where's the network manual?

Come on!
What is this?

Wait, wait, wait!
Look, look!

Tray gave me this.
Where is it... Where is it?

What is it?

Just in case
we had any other issues.

Back up!

Phew!

We've been breached!

- What?
- Someone's hacking our server!

No, no, no, no.
Can you stop it?

Hold on.

Good work.

Damn, this guy's good.

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!

Phew!

Lucky you had that or
we would have been toast.

I've been kicked out.

What happened?

They rebooted the whole server.

How did they do this so fast?

They must have some jump drive
or some genius IT guy.

Wait, so that's it?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, Malachi.

It's okay.

Just means we have to
be more resourceful.

All right.
We're good to go again.

Power source at optimum level,
no ullage.

We're ready to fire.

We're going to start
with a 10-meter spread

at eight peta-watts.

- Alexandra?
- Yes?

Would you consider
going live for this?

Or at least a radio broadcast?

I think the people would
really like to listen in,

especially the Summit.

Well, how long
is that gonna take?

Press of a button.

I've already established
the link and

sent it to Chairman Pleasance,

so Svoboda's website
is hot to relay.

I can see why my dad adored you.

Sure, go ahead.

Yes!

You ready, guys?

- Roger.
- Roger that!

Here we go.

Contact! We have contact!

At minus 32, 56, 318!

Direct in dead center
on its axis.

Come on, you mother f'er.

Zero penetration,
no change in hardness.

Give it some time, Roland.

Hugo, how's thermal?

Uh, you can crank it
up a little.

Structural integrity is fine.
Not even a dent.

Good job.

We got penetration! Yes!

We got minus 32, 56, 318,

approximate rate of
five meters per second.

It's working!
It's working!

Rate of penetration
is slowing substantially.

Hugo, what's my thermal reading?

You're good to crank it up!

Okay.

We're dropping
to 7.5 meter beam.

And increasing to 10 peta-watts.

Uh, here's where it
might get dicey!

Okay, looks like the rate
of penetration has stabilized.

Uh, Roland?

We got a delineation
on the axis.

And from what I can tell,
it's slowing down substantially.

I see it.

Compensating!

We're back on axis,
but penetration is slow again.

Let's drop it down
to a five-meter beam

and up to 11 peta-watts.

What's the problem?

I'm worried
it's not gonna break up.

Explain!

It's like spinning a
basketball on your finger.

The harder you slap it,
the faster it's gonna spin.

Asteroid is not
spinning on its axis, Roland!

But I'm worried it will.

You hit it harder,
it's gonna speed up in velocity

and possibly hit here
faster if we don't destroy it.

Or the centrifugal force
puts it in another trajectory

and misses earth entirely...

if we don't break it up.

Decreasing beam
to five-meter spread,

increasing to 12 peta-watts.

I don't know if
thermals can handle...

Is it starting to spin again?

It's negligible.
Let's give it a little longer.

What?

Thermal venting is
starting to fail!

Yeah, I get that,
but this isn't working!

Making correction
on delineation.

Holding at 12 peta-watts.

We gotta stop this thing, guys.

Yeah, I get that,
but this is not working!

Thermal shields are failing now!

Why don't we get
Teloch Two up there?

We can get two lasers
from opposing sides!

Counter 2200QL's inertia,
try and keep it from spinning!

Its structural integrity
is failing now!

Just a few more seconds!
Hold your horses!

Shit! Try to reacquire lock!

It's not gonna make
any difference, Alexandra!

Teloch is burning up!

I've got it!
I've got a lock!

- Wait, wait!
- Alexandra, don't!

Quiet!

Please, everyone.

We have three days left

until 2200QL
will strike earth.

Many of your countries
began to build

or refurbish underground
bomb shelters

or establishments when
this began a few weeks ago.

Now is the time to decide
who you'll take

to these possible sanctuaries

and the time
to spend with loved ones.

I am declaring 2200QL Summit

is dissolved immediately.

Thank you for all you
have done, and God speed.

What's the breakdown
of the 50,000?

Okay. Those selected will be
notified in the next few hours.

30% will be 18 years younger.
45%, 19 to 55 years old.

A predominant number being
physicians, scientists,

engineers, those of importance
we cannot do without.

The last 25% will be
allotted to ages 56 and up.

All will be picked up
and taken by military escort

at 0:300 hours to
established sanctuaries.

What about those
in government office?

In the last grouping?

With the exception
of the President,

his wife and the Cabinet,

everyone else is Lotto.

And the Global Summit
is not part of the Cabinet.

Sorry, sir.

Oh, don't worry.

You know, I've always
been lucky at life.

Maybe I'll be joining you.

Yes, sir.
I hope so.

Okay. If we're going to use
Teloch Two from earth,

one of our biggest issues is
gonna be to compensate

for the ambient conditions,
the pressure and temperature

change in our atmosphere.

We're gonna need to calibrate
our target acquisition software

and bounce it off
our Calypso satellite,

since the Aristotle
is now wasted.

We're also gonna have to take
in consideration any meteorites

that might further distress
satellite to Teloch relay.

And the coup de grace
is the fuel cell.

That's just going
to be dangerous.

So I propose that we move that
out in the middle of the desert,

away from life,
and coordinate from there.

But why don't we just
get another rocket carrier

from somewhere?

Attach Teloch Two to the Calypso
and try again?

Because Teloch Two is gonna
be at 20 peta-watts.

That's way too much equipment
for any of our carriers

to get up to our satellites.

- 20 Peta-watts?
- Yes.

We can't gamble any more.
We don't have time.

The fuel source itself
would be enough

to destroy several city blocks.

That's why we're taking this
sucker the hell out of the city.

But if you can't make a housing
to contain a 12 peta-watt laser,

how are you gonna manage
almost twice that?

Hugo is working on that.

It's gonna work this time.
Trust me. It has to.

Great. Let them in.
Send them over to Lab 1.

Trucks here.

Great. Hugo, everything else
is already onsite?

Everything should be there
this afternoon.

All right.

Let's grab our gear.

Get ready to hit the road the
second Teloch Two is loaded up.

Let's go.

Are you sure you want
to do this alone?

Can you bring some
of your men with you?

Ah, I need my best people here
preparing everyone

for the end of days.

Look, we shared some great
battles and victories.

This one's got
to be a solo mission.

You understand?

Of course.

Until Valhalla.

God be with you.

I'll see you soon.

Take a right up here.

Where?

Right up here by the cactus.

Cactus?

By the cactus.
Up here.

We're gonna be going
off-roading for a little bit.

I didn't even know
this place existed.

Well, very few people do.

Hey, Elaine,
do you have your phone?

Yeah, I have it.

Let's document
this for the world.

People should know that we
haven't given up.

We're going to stop this thing.

Sure thing.

All right.

With just a just a little
over 36 hours until 2200QL

is scheduled to collide
with the earth,

Alexandra Svoboda is in
the process of updating

the software on our
Calypso satellite.

Now this will enable her
to communicate...

Uh, Elaine?
Please do me a favor.

Yeah?

Say "we" for everything.

Huh?

We are in the process of
uploading the software.

This will enable
us to communicate

with the Calypso satellite.

Stress the team.

Please don't make this about me.

Okay, yeah.
I'll start over.

I've got the downlink
established.

Calypso is in position.

How's that fuel cell
coming along?

Reference detector is still
giving me some problems.

20 peta-watts?
What do you expect?

I expect you to make it work,
like you always do.

Hugo, how are you doing?

The same as Roland.

I don't think these anodes
are gonna be able

to hold up under
the thermal displacement.

Everything's gonna work out,
guys.

We can do this.

How much more time do you need?

Another hour or so to be safe.

We're only gonna
have one shot at this.

Yeah, I know.

Hey, Laura,
I'm on my way back.

Hey, I have some important
information for you.

Alexandra is documenting her
every move on social media!

From where?

They weren't at
the Costa Mesa complex.

No, they're not there.

A lot of people don't know
this, but on Twitter,

if you don't disable it,
it shows exactly

where your geographical
location is.

I'm going to send you
the coordinates now.

Just got 'em!

Do you think you can make it?

The asteroid's gonna hit
in two hours.

Yeah, I'll just make it.

Thank you, Laura.

I'll see you on the other side.

Make us proud, Malachi.

Laura out.

Hello, guys.

They're expecting
a meteorite shower

in the next several minutes.

Thanks, Elaine.

Let's get everything
to the warehouse, quick.

Go!

What the... my Lincoln!

It looks like it went
through the apocalypse.

We got the Lincoln
when we got the lab. Move!

What's this?

Your Lotto tickets.

In case this doesn't work, we
still got 30 hours to make it.

What are the odds
all four of us got chosen?

People will sell their souls
for the right price.

But Svoboda's
assets are still frozen

and there's only three here.

I took it out of my money.

Look, it's not important
right now.

Alexandra, take mine.

The world will need
you more than me.

Knock it off!

Thank you, Elaine.
But we don't have time for this.

Roland?

Please let this work.

We're good to go.

Wait...
The downlink's not established!

What the f...

Come on, Roland!
What is it?

Hold on. Okay, it
looks like it's on our end

because there's nothing
wrong with the Calypso.

The meteorite shower must have
messed with the wavelength.

But, yeah, yeah... it's Teloch.

Something's messed with
the satellite array.

Must've gotten moved during
the meteor shower.

Stop! I'll do it.
I need you here.

Once that downlink
is back up, fire it!

Wait. Let me go with you!

No. Stay here in case
Roland needs you.

The downlink is up.

Do it! Now!
Before anything else goes wrong!

Yes! We've got penetration!
Whoo-hoo!

Shut it down!

What?

Miss Svoboda, shut it down now!

You're crazy!
I'm not shutting it down!

We're trying to destroy QL!

I can't let you do this!

Shut it down!
Stop it! Let go!

Hey! Hey!

Oh, God! Jesus!

Ah!

I didn't wanna have to do that.
Now get up.

God has a plan for us,
Miss Svoboda.

It's not up to us
to alter that plan.

You cannot destroy 2200QL.

It's God's divine will!

Now get up.

You're that religious freak!

Get up!

I said get up!

What?

What was that?

That thing you're staring at?

It's a million dust particles

from us blowing the crap
out of that asteroid.

No. No!

It can't be!

Should have studied more
astronomy, asshole.

Oh!

- Alexandra!
- Are you okay?

It worked!

Oh, wow.

We knew it worked
from the downlink.

But we didn't expect it
to look like that.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Uh, to quote
a great scientist:

"Ignorance can be a real bitch."

But in all seriousness, if we've
learned anything from this,

we've learned that indeed
one's physical appearance

certainly does not factor
into their intelligence.

So now I'm gonna turn this
over to Miss Alexandra Svoboda

so she can explain how
she destroyed 2200QL.

Miss Svoboda?

What are you guys doing?
Come on.

Come on!

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

But before I start, I'd like to
make one important correction.

I did not save the world.

My team and I saved the world,
all of us equally.

We all did our part in this.

Without us working
together as a team,

we wouldn't be here today.

Aw...
