But this city of Houston...
This state of Texas...
This country of the United States was not...
built by those who waited, and rested.
Is it that man in his quest for knowledge and progress
is determined and cannot be deterred.
The exploration of space will go ahead whether
we join in it or not.
And it is one of the great adventures..."
"It's one small step for man..."
"No national conflict in outer space..."
"One giant leap for mankind."
"It's hazards are hostile to us all.
"Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind..."
Pandemonium has swept across the globe as reports come in
that an asteroid has collided with the moon,
knocking it on a trajectory towards earth.
Emergency lockdowns are being imposed in major cities
as law enforcement struggles to maintain control
of the escalating chaos amongst fear-stricken citizens.
Many countries have reported power grid disruptions,
major earthquakes and tidal flooding
along coastal cities with many forced
to evacuate and seek higher ground.
Increased theological activity and volcanic eruptions
have caused extensive damage to cities and communities
along major fault lines.
The moon is expected to collide with the earth
in less than three hours.
And we will continue to see the increased effects
of its gravity as it approaches our atmosphere.
The outlook of survival for our species
and the continued existence of planet earth looks grim, but...
Hey, Jim...
Our field reporters are already starting to...
Is this thing for real?
NATO and cooperating governments comparing data,
joining forces to determine how and if
a disaster of this magnitude...
This is Captain Lawson.
Paul's coming to airlift you to the XVision Spaceport
in Nevada to stop this thing.
You are recommissioned to fly with
the XVision space fleet effective immediately.
Well, tell Global Defense we face total annihilation
in less than two hours.
NASA's initial projection of the mission window is 3.5.
No, Colonel, this isn't some meteor in Tunguska.
The sheer scale of this will wreak havoc
before it even strikes.
Gravitational fluctuations, earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions, E.M.P.s
all around the world.
And if the moon reaches our atmosphere,
friction will super-heat the air
and incinerate everything on earth.
You get to XVision ASAP.
Paul's responsibility is to brief you on the rest.
Hey, Jumbo. Good to see 'ya.
Come on, we gotta go.
Hey, who's that?
My brother.
Come on.
Whoa, whoa!
Was that because of the moon?
No. Gravity disruptions are causing the earthquakes.
Come on, Bob. We'll get you to the base.
My tab for the last two weeks.
Oh!
We gotta help him.
No!
- Help me get him outa here! - There's no time.
Bobby, I'm gonna get you outta here!
All right, grab my hand.
Come on? I gotta pull you now!
Come on!
Come on, Bob.
Soak the gauze in antiseptic.
Oh, Jim, it hurts...
Hang in there, Bobby.
Look, Jim, I hate to say it,
but you were right about everything.
I mean, everything.
The size of the asteroid,
when it would actually strike the moon.
You called all of it.
- Keep feeding it to me. - Okay.
Look, I might not get another chance at this to apologize.
Jim, it wasn't your fault, your co-pilot's death.
Look, we don't have time for ancient history right now.
It's not ancient history, Jim. It's only been a year.
And, look, if I had a time machine, I would go back
and I would...
I should have listened to your report, okay?
Jim, it wasn't you that crashed your lander.
It was gravity from a distant asteroid.
- We know... - Just knock it off!
Look, I'm trying to apologize here!
Like when you reported that it was a year away
from striking the moon,
I should've never had you discharged, okay?
It's my fault.
God.
Hey, hey, hey, stay with me.
Yeah, I don't do blood.
Is Mom safe?
How are your wife and kids?
Yeah, Mom's safe.
I had our office in D.C. take Mom down to the Pentagon.
Juni and the kids are there too.
I didn't have the heart to tell them that,
if we can't stop this thing, it doesn't matter where they are.
But, uh... Stacey's safe too.
Yeah, her new boyfriend took her down to the Camp Pendleton Base.
Good. Hand me the tape.
All right, we've got about 15 minutes
before we reach the base.
Admiral Keller, this is Colonel Hauser, Pentagon Command.
It's my understanding that Paul is currently en route
with Jim Lawson and you are keeping tabs
on their progress, correct?
That is correct.
We are currently tracking them via satellite and have
an ETA of approximately 15 minutes.
Good. As you liaison to the D.O.D.,
I've given you a lot of latitude in developing your program,
but today I am assuming full command of your department,
do you understand?
Yes, ma'am.
As of now, our databases are synced so that we
are both tracking Lawson's progress
and the path of the Moon in real time.
Communication interruptions are inevitable.
We will attempt to cover setbacks
relative to Operation Godfather.
All pilots are standing by on threat level Delta.
Am I gonna be okay, Jim?
Well, I stopped most of the bleeding.
Look, we have one hour and 42 minutes
'til the moon reaches the atmosphere.
Well, Hauser recommissioned me.
So you obviously need me to do something your team can't do.
As hard as it is for me to admit, yeah, we do.
As soon as you were discharged, NASA and JPL still insisted
on using your antimatter engine design for our drone fleet.
Now, given your reputation
Hauser was reluctant, but NASA pushed her.
30 minutes before I saw you, Hauser ordered us to launch
a drone fleet into orbit to try and stop the moon.
So you're using antimatter engines as bombs?
It's not gonna work.
No, not bombs, Jim.
NASA, the DOD, the entire world is scraping
the bottom of the barrel to try and stop the moon.
I mean, nukes won't stop it,
an exploding antimatter engine won't stop it.
Where are we going, Jim?
I just need to know so I can tell
some friends and some family.
Look, you're going to a base called XVision.
You'll be safe there.
Yeah, I know what XVision is.
What I don't know is how are you planning to stop this thing?
Look, I saw the news.
We're all gonna die, aren't we?
No.
Look, you'll be safe at the base, okay?
And we do have a way to stop the moon.
How are you gonna stop the moon?
That's not even possible.
It is possible.
We have a spacecraft with an engine on it
with special fuel called "antimatter".
We're talking to the military right now
on how to turn it on and start a reaction to stop the moon.
He's talking about a huge nuclear bomb!
No. I'm not talking about a huge nuclear bomb.
All right, let me dumb this down to you, Bob.
Imagine a racetrack, okay?
But, instead, it's a closed tube.
And the atoms are cars running in the opposite directions.
Now when they crash into each other,
they explode and release energy.
Now that energy... Bob, pay attention, please...
now that energy creates a thrust kind of like a jet engine.
Now there's these little things in the space called "neutrinos"
that are floating around that will trigger the reaction.
They're gonna be acting like the springs
that launch the cars around the track.
And Hauser remembered what you said a year ago,
that if somebody deliberately destroys
the engine's cadmium regulator...
A bombardment of neutrinos will run the reaction out of control.
That's it.
So you're gonna overload an engine,
create a black hole and pull the moon back into orbit.
That's the plan.
Hold on.
A black hole, that's gonna destroy everything, won't it?
No, Bob, it's not gonna destroy everything.
There's places on earth like the one in Switzerland
where they have the large Hadron Collider.
They split atoms every single day to create many black holes.
This is not good.
Look, just calm down. Calm down, Bob!
If you keep exerting yourself,
you're gonna make your injuries even worse.
Calm down?
This is all your fault! Jim told me all about it!
Bob, look, relax!
Even if they had more time, they know this is
just strategic suicide.
Yeah, it was dead last on their list.
But they have no other choice and no time, Jim.
Admiral Keller, we have a visual on some of the drone's damage.
Are we certain that the antimatter engine
affixed to the top of the drone is still functional?
Affirmative, the antimatter engine is functional
but it is programmed to conserve power
and send a distress signal if the drone
becomes terminally damaged.
And Paul Lawson's plan...
I have a room full of trigger happy Joint Chiefs
still doubtful of our proposed fix.
A nuclear strike will not stop the Moon.
Clearing the lunar asteroids with conventional missiles
and using the antimatter drive to create a Black Hole
is the only way forward.
Okay, but if you don't launch before an E.M.P
or magnetic pole reversal, your missiles will be disabled.
The mission rides on you, Admiral.
Five minutes after launch,
the meteor's destroyed all the drones except for one.
Now it's dead in space on the edge of the moon's far side.
But its antimatter engine is sending
a distress signal right now.
They need someone who'll reactivate it.
No, they need you to reactivate it.
Our engineers are somewhat familiar with it
and they could do basic diagnostic tests and controls.
But you're the expert on how it's built.
Jim, you're the only one that can guarantee
that the reaction will run out of control.
We're already encountering E.M. disruptions.
They're only going to intensify.
So I'm sure the Pentagon's planning a strike?
Yeah.
Hauser's coordinating a global conventional weapon strike
into a lunar debris field to clear a path for you
to reach the stalled drone.
And XVision will provide a space fleet
leading you right into orbit.
But as the moon gets closer, it's gonna reverse
the earth's magnetic pulse,
detonating the missiles prematurely.
Okay, we have to ensure that my launch precedes that
so we don't compromise the mission.
It's not my first rodeo.
We've timed it so by the time you get in your spacecraft,
the missiles will launch.
By the time you get to orbit, they will dissipate,
leaving you a clear path right to the stalled drone.
All right. Make sure Hauser uses the Pentagon's
Colossus satellite dish to maintain communications.
They'll cut through most of the magnetic noise.
Colossus satellite dish will already
be aligned to your jet path.
I got it.
All right.
One more thing.
Under no circumstances, can Global Defense
change your mind about a nuclear option.
A nuke and its gamma rays will fry me and the spacecraft
and the mission ends.
Well, Hauser stopped all that talk... for now.
Although China and Russia are considering
a nuclear strike regardless.
Of course.
Yeah, it's the Russians. What do you expect?
If it wasn't for XVision and NASA's global reputation,
hell, they might not have held off at all.
Hold on!
We're about 30 miles out from base.
That power surge blew the circuit.
It damaged the propeller.
Damn!
You ever flown these things before?
It's just basic aeronautics.
Roll, pitch, yaw.
All right. The rotor's running 19,000 rpm.
Well, we have to equalize it.
- Where's the main circuit? - It's right here.
The drone's default is arc flight at 260 knots.
We're not flying coast to coast.
We don't need to account for the earth's curvature.
There.
All right, I turned off the arc.
That stopped an rpm increase to the other three rotors.
Now they can match the damaged rotor without damaging our ETA.
Good.
You know, you place way too much blind faith in these machines.
Yeah, well, I guess it could be another thing we disagree on.
Lawson to Base!
Repeat, Lawson to Ba...
Lawson to Base!
Repeat! Damn it!
The E.M.P.s are already getting our satellites.
Or they could have been struck by lunar asteroids.
Yeah, that could be it.
No! No!
Oh, God!
Jim!
Lawson to Base, come in!
Lawson to Base, do you hear me?
Lawson to Base!
Oh, sh...
Paul, you okay?
Ah! Ah!
Buckle up, we're going down!
Oh, Jim!
Jim!
Let's stop here.
This is Private First Class Malcolm
requesting emergency evac. Over.
This is Squadron 229.
We have a report of major damage to Camp Pendleton.
Camp Pendleton was just destroyed in a major earthquake.
Requesting emergency evac to the nearest bunker.
Evac denied, we are under strict orders
to only address the most dire threats.
We're also getting reports the earthquake triggered
a massive tsunami. You will need to get
to high ground immediately.
229, we are en route to a communications hub
to maintain the southwest network.
I understand, private, but all units
are for essential support only.
Unless you're directly supporting the Pentagon,
we cannot evac. Copy?
This is communications support for the entire region.
Denied, private.
We have direct orders from DOD that all assets
are dedicated to the larger threat.
Hey, tell them you're traveling with Stacey Lawson.
I'm Jim Lawson's wife.
He's the astronaut they recruited for their mission.
229, I have Stacey Lawson accompanying me.
She is astronaut Jim Lawson's wife
and Jim Lawson is mission critical.
Denied, Private Ninan.
Command says she's not mission critical.
I'm sorry, there are no available units
for a one-off rescue.
Are you really Jim Lawson's wife?
I am...
Or was.
We separated.
Well...
They have a communications dish
outside the Pentagon called Colossus.
It's huge. It transmits deep into space.
But with the fragments of the moon deflecting the signal,
they'll need us to reroute all the hubs
across the country to boost their signal, including ours.
That's what this is for.
It'll convert our regional signal
into something they can use.
You ready to keep running?
Absolutely.
I'm sorry.
All right.
So base still has our approximate location.
As soon as they see a distress signal,
they send us a rescue unit, so...
Thermal imaging should still be able
to pick us up on the ground.
But they're gonna need a clear place to land.
Let's get out in the open.
- Let's go. - Come on.
There goes our rescue detail.
The EM disturbances must be getting worse.
- They look like our UMVs. - Glad no-one was on board.
Man, if we don't get you airborne soon, we're done.
Yeah. If we don't get a missile strike,
our chances of success are cut in half. Come on.
Come on what?
Base has got to be about five miles away.
I think we're about a mile from George's mechanic.
George's mecha... what? Dad's Air Force buddy?
Yeah, the guy who fixes your base's cars for a handshake.
That was some sweet deal you made.
We can use his phone, grab one of his cars.
Let's go.
I hate running.
- Hey. - God...
What are you doing?
- What? - What is that?
I don't like hair in my face.
You carry that thing with you?
- Yeah. - It's very fashionable.
Oh, sweet boots. You get 'em at Costco?
I hope it makes you run faster.
Come on, Sally!
Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Oh... Oh, I felt all that.
How long did that take us?
What?
How long did it take us?
Six minutes. That's not even that bad.
Let's keep going.
Let's go. Come on.
Whoa, whoa!
You're not running.
You're emptying your wallets, giving your money to J.J. here.
And then you're getting zip-tied.
Look, we don't have any time for this.
Okay, we got...
- Hey! - All right, all right.
All right.
The only way you two clowns are out this far
is if you're working for that Air Force Base.
You know, we got your little alert back in town.
And we know you're lying about the end of the world.
You got us, okay? We work for the air force...
Move, and I will blow your brains all over this ravine!
I knew your private military was out here
trying to take over this whole region.
I read about it online for years now.
We don't know anything about that, okay?
We're just trying to get to the base to fix it.
Hands up! Hands up!
We're just trying to get to get to the base
to fix it, all right?
Wait a second...
Hey, Annie. Look who it is.
It's that CEO.
That's him.
Look, we don't want any trouble.
Put your wallet on the ground! Both of you!
All right, all right, all right.
Now!
Guys like you, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg,
pigs feeding off society, crushing our brains.
You had your time lying to us,
lying about taking expeditions to the moon.
Yeah, we've been watching you, too.
We know you been keeping tabs on every citizen in this country.
So why don't you tell me?
How does it feel, Paul Lawson?
J.J., I knew we would find private military
out here patrolling.
Now's the time. Take a video.
The revolution starts here.
Guys, we are a spacecraft company, okay?
There really is a threat to the United States, the whole world!
He's lying, J.J.
Good thing I'm recording this.
Oh, oh, wait! Don't kill us!
Paul, the bullies when you were eight, you remember?
- You two shut up! - Shut up!
Hey!
Wait, wait, wait!
What?
How does that work?
I don't know, you yell loud enough,
they think you gonna tell 'em something important.
Worked when you were eight, worked now.
Lose that ridiculous beanie, will you?
Keeps my hair outta my face.
This shop is just through this clearing.
We're kind of in the middle of nowhere.
Oh, ho!
There's George's shop! Keep going!
God damn!
George!
Hey, George!
Get us a car. I'll call the base.
George!
Hey! George!
Hey, it's Jimmy Lawson!
Got anything?
Yeah, it's working.
We gotta be close to an hour ETA for impact.
Hour and 16 minutes 'til it reaches the mesosphere.
Exhibition... this is Operation Godfather.
Get me the Command Center.
Lawson, Admiral Keller here. We lost you on radar.
I'm on the line with Colonel Hauser at the Pentagon.
Jim and I need a rescue ASAP.
We lost your GPS on our Colossus Dish minutes ago.
Keller, get Lawson to base
before these electromagnetic pulses get worse.
We sent out rescue helicopters,
but their guidance systems went out of control and crashed.
We sent out two more.
Both those transports have since crashed.
Have your flight captain take the XVision fleet
to your underground bunker to shield them
from the electromagnetic pulses.
Yes, ma'am.
Is the antimatter engine on the stranded drone
still sending a signal?
Affirmative.
What's the mission status?
I have word from the president and the Joint Chiefs
that China and Russia are synchronized
to launch their nuclear payload.
Once they detonate,
Jim will have a safe path to reach the drone.
Jim and I are headed to the base ASAP.
We gotta get Jim here now, Paul.
Threat Response reported electrical damage
to our Colossus Dish.
The longer we delay, the less chance we have
to assist if our guidance system fails.
I understand.
Hey, George!
You here?
Hey, George?
Come on, George.
And NASA's reporting such a dense lunar asteroid field
that the pathway will close roughly
one minute after the strike.
So Jim has to follow directly behind the strike zone
to avoid destroying the antimatter engine.
Oh!
Paul?
Paul, are you there?
Come in, Paul!
I'm here.
These earthquakes are getting worse.
Get here now while you still can!
Jim and I are headed to the road ASAP.
Once we get on the road, I need all defensive personnel
to maintain communication on an open channel.
I have zero digital communication,
repeat, zero digital communication.
I need live updates.
Copy that. You will have them.
Paul!
George!
Jimmy? Is that you?
Pull yourself out when I lift!
Now!
Come on!
Jimmy!
Jim?
Jim?
Paul!
- Oh, shit! - Come on, Paul.
Jim!
Come on, okay.
Jim, what the hell are you doing?
Oh, yeah, yeah, ready?
One, two...
Okay, get underneath, underneath. Go underneath!
All right. You ready?
- Go, go, go... - You got it?
One, two, go!
Come on! Slide out! Slide out! I got you!
Come on, come on.
Drop, drop, drop.
Are you good? Got any breaks?
No, he's just gonna be bruised for a long time.
I was just out back turning off the gas
when I heard you guys yelling.
Hey, look, we need a car right now.
We'll take you to the base.
All right, I got you covered, man.
I got just the one.
Great. Where are the keys?
Back there on the shelf, number eight.
- On the board? - Yeah. You can't miss it.
All right.
- You good? - Your brother.
Oh, no.
A thank you would have been nice, all right?
Shit, nothing changes around here.
Before he went to the Air Force,
your dad had that on his workbench.
Every day he'd look at it. Man, I forgot all about it.
You know what? Take it. I want you to have it, Jimmy.
For good luck.
Thanks.
Guys, I'm sorry I never made it to your dad's funeral.
Hey, George, It's all right.
I was just...
What's our ETA to impact?
We got an hour and 12 minutes. We gotta go.
All right, come on. Let's go.
George.
Thanks, George.
Hey, man, she's is a nitrous-burning monster!
Zero to 100 in a second!
George!
- Come on. - George!
Come on, Jim! We gotta go!
Come on!
We gotta go! Come on!
Go, go. Step on it. Go, go, go.
You good?
Which way to the base?
Straight west.
Base, this is Lawson. Do you copy?
Base! This is Lawson! Do you copy?
This is Admiral Keller, Lawson, at XVision.
Go for base.
Jim and I are three minutes out.
Repeat, ETA is three minutes. Do you copy?
Copy, three minutes.
We're currently tracking your position
with the Xvision surveillance drones,
so we'll have a more accurate sense of your ETA.
We've sustained massive damage here at the base
due to these earthquakes.
Some parts have been completely decimated.
Most of our F-35s
and about 80% of all aircraft are operational.
XVision craft is ready to launch.
We're just waiting for your arrival.
Copy that, base.
Maintain protocol on Operation Godfather.
Copy that.
You should have visual confirmation
of conventional weapons now at 50,000 units and climbing.
Good. They launched early, get ahead of
the earth's magnetic poles reversing.
What's the ETA for the moon?
It's an hour and eight minutes.
All right. See if you can find something on the radio,
a newscast, anything.
...numbers of casualties, and we're getting reports
of New York, Orlando...
coastal cities experiencing unprecedented...
- Japan. - There it is!
All of the Canary islands, Alaska,
all in the states of...
I see it. Just focus, brother.
We need to get to base.
Admiral, exterior damage readings on the base
have overwhelmed our damage-report live-stream.
Moving to the back-up feed.
Thank you, Major Romero.
Colonel Hauser...
China and Russia are chomping at the bit to launch their nukes.
Is Lawson airborne?
Negative. His helicopter crashed,
but we've regained communication.
He's en route to the base about one minute out.
We need him airborne as of an hour ago.
We have Operation Godfather on our threat screen.
We launched our missiles to get ahead of
the reversal of Earth's magnetic poles.
They're reaching the mesosphere as we speak.
We will have Jim Lawson airborne ASAP once he arrives.
Ma'am, an incoming meteor has damaged above ground supports.
Below ground damage is 20 yards at 5%.
Admiral, per the president
and the Joint Chiefs, make it happen.
If Lawson doesn't tail this strike,
every second decreases our chance of success.
Yes, ma'am.
Our Colossus Dish is damaged.
Communication to the antimatter engine is unstable.
Do you have steady contact?
Initializing communications verification
with anti-matter engine now.
Signal still active.
The signal on the antimatter engine
on the drone is active, yes.
How much life is left in its power reserve?
Last reading was 72%.
Are you able to patch this call over to Lawson?
I have a very unstable radio signal, but it's all I've got.
Do it.
Yes, ma'am.
- Admiral? - It's Hauser.
I can't hold Russia and China back
from launching their nuclear missiles much longer.
They seem to think that they can solve this with a nuke strike.
A nuke strike won't work, Colonel!
The only thing that'll stop it is a major gravitational event.
We both know that, Jim.
But their physicists seem to think
that our process isn't viable.
We need to convince them before they take us all down with them.
Colonel, that antimatter engine is a miniature version
of the large Hadron Collider.
That makes black holes every single day.
So it is strong enough to create a temporary black hole
the size of a football field
pulling the moon back into orbit.
The Russians and Chinese are saying that a black hole
will pull the moon and the earth into it, destroying everything.
That's not true, Colonel!
They're going with the nuclear option unless we can prove it.
Do we have proof?
Yes! It's something called
"Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation".
Gravity decreases in an inverse square
when moving away from the center of a mass.
Colonel, the drone is on the moon's far side.
So the earth is far enough away
from the event that it'll only move a millimeter.
But that'll be enough to pull the moon back into orbit
and back into equilibrium with the earth. Copy.
Let's hope that it's enough to ward them off.
Get it done.
Ma'am, the Colossus Dish has sustained heavy damage.
We've lost the distress signal to the antimatter engine.
We're losing its location, ma'am.
Threat Response, this is Command.
Get above ground and repair the Colossus Dish immediately.
If Lawson loses contact, that dish is the only thing
powerful enough to communicate the drone's coordinates.
Ma'am, radar indicates Operation Godfather
clearing the mesosphere.
Lieutenant, when they strike, get me a payload count.
Colonel, we have incoming meteors.
We have to find some way to defend the dish.
Threat Response is calling for artillery.
No.
If we use artillery, we might as well be trying
to stop them with a pistol.
Diaz, get Threat Response to set up
the LRAD sonic cannons around the dish.
We'll launch a sonic shield
to pulverize incoming as it approaches.
Deploying sonic cannons, ma'am.
Major Romero, how's the base's earthquake stabilization?
Stabilizers are still active, ma'am.
And the underground line to the Pentagon?
Still active.
Ma'am, the missiles have reached
the leading edge of the moon's debris field.
Field penetration at 18%,
30 degrees, ordinance detonation at 31%.
Absolute carnage... it is the end times...
I have reports of satellites crashing...
Words cannot... Now we can see whole structures...
around Paris... our own station now...
Hey, the magnetic poles are reversing.
Oh...
Hit the nitrous!
What?
Hit the nitrous! In the console!
Oh, God! Oh!
Hit it!
Oh!
- Hang on! - Here we go!
Hold on! Hold on!
Woo! Woo-hoo-hoo!
Ordinance detonation at 38%, 50%,
60%...
80%.
We're still at 18% penetration into the debris field
and holding...
Holding...
and 17%.
The missiles are prematurely to detonating, ma'am.
The earth's magnetic fields are reversing.
Ma'am, I'm also getting a heat sensor reading
from the stabilizers underneath the base.
Rate of increase is one degree per second.
All right, stand by.
Ma'am, we have to get our spacecraft in the air now.
These earthquakes will destroy our craft any minute!
What is Jim's ETA?
Captain Hayes, stand by until I give you the order to launch!
Stand by, Captain Hayes.
The moon's weakening the earth's magnetic field,
sending subatomic particles shooting
through the upper atmosphere.
Ma'am, I'm getting a security alert from the Pentagon.
The pole reversal is activating the detonator,
destroying the missiles before they can reach the debris field.
Stand by, Romero.
I'm getting an alert that the Pentagon's Colossus Dish
is experiencing a power surge.
Do we still have a line to Washington?
Still connected to the Pentagon, ma'am.
All right. Put me through to Colonel Hauser.
Ma'am, the cannons are down.
And the dish's mainframe is overheating.
It's Admiral Keller, ma'am.
I see zero confirmation of his flight!
Get Lawson in the air now!
This is astronaut Jim Lawson to base.
We are at XVision!
Start the engine on my craft.
I'll be airborne as soon as I reach the cockpit.
He's here and about to board, Colonel.
Copy that, Captain Lawson.
All spacecraft are prepped and ready to launch.
You are at point position. Repeat, you are at point.
Captain Hayes, initiate launch sequence.
Jim Lawson is on his way to fleet point position.
Hayes and Matthews, you're running the edge.
Ready to launch.
Assuming left flank to the point.
Ma'am, the temperature under the base has increased 300 degrees.
Our pressure readings are blowing out the sensors.
The building stabilizers are melting.
Looks like it's some type of geode.
Did this just come up from under the base?
The last temperature reading was 380 degrees.
The sensors are showing a heat field at...
100 feet below ground!
Alert Lawson.
They might be driving right into a volcanic eruption.
Ma'am, I'm getting an alert from the power grid database.
All the power grids in the U.S. are crashing
because the magnetic poles are reversing.
This is Captain Hayes. Ready to launch.
There's the fleet. There's the fleet right there!
The engine's starting to overheat.
The tarmac's heating up. The tires are starting to smoke.
Yeah, the moon's pulling on the earth's liquid core.
That's pushing magma to the surface.
All right, we're gonna drive right up to the craft,
get on the roof of the car, up the ladder into the cockpit!
Copy.
Get those ships in the air!
Launch! Launch!
The channel's dead.
All right, we gotta get there before another eruption!
Launch! Launch! Break formation!
Go for launch! Go for launch!
Fleet, damage report.
We've lost 22 ships, Captain.
We're the only craft remaining.
They're gone!
Matthews and Hayes made it out.
They can't complete the mission.
Where's the AI craft?
What? The one untested?
The experimental craft! Where is it?
Hangar 13!
We're going in.
What? To the cargo hold?
Hang on!
You can't drive into the ship!
Here we go!
Stop! Stop!
We gotta go! We gotta go!
Hello, Jim and Paul Lawson.
Preflight protocol is initiated.
Jim, I see you are the pilot today.
Go for launch!
Manual flight engaged.
Launch now!
Protocol discourages launching from inside...
Launch now!
X.C., scan for imminent threats!
Imminent threat detected.
Launch at t-minus three, two, one.
- We got at least another mile. - Okay.
So what brought you to Camp Pendleton?
I was...
I started dating this guy, a good guy, a Marine.
He had just started his patrol on the base
when the earthquake struck.
Well, if everything goes according to plan,
we'll get you reunited with him.
With who?
The Marine.
What's our ETA to impact?
Hey, Paul?
Paul, focus on my voice, huh? Deep breaths.
What's the ETA to impact?
43 minutes.
How far is the moon from the earth?
NASA and the DOD's database is down.
Hauser said the Colossus satellite is disabled.
I'm not getting any updates.
All right...
X.C., how far is the moon from our current position?
Calculating... there is no GPS data available.
Communication satellite shows fatal error.
Enabling laser distancing:
I detect a major disruption of the Moon's orbit.
Current distance from our location:
163,209 miles.
All right, so the moon's a third of the way here.
We don't have an escort.
Jim, we are receiving an alert.
Two XVision spacecraft are approaching rapidly.
Sir?
We are guarding you the rest of the way to the drone.
Thank you, Captain. We owe you one.
Tell me, what's your payload today?
We have two stinger missiles each,
plus the two on your craft.
I am first point, Lieutenant Matthews is second,
your craft is last.
Don't tell me Excalibur's never fired its weapon system before.
You want me to lie to you?
Extremely hazardous conditions detected in the troposphere.
Incoming meteors and disabled satellites detected.
All ground contact is severed.
Advise safe landing immediately.
X.C., shut up.
Incoming! 10:00!
It's maneuvering in the opposite direction I want it to go!
It's following its program.
Well, turn it off!
I can't! It's reacting...
Turn it off!
X. C., quiet mode! Manual function!
Going quiet. Manual function.
Thank you.
Incoming dead ahead!
Incoming!
Matthews!
Sir, stay your course!
Staying the course.
We're almost out of the mesosphere.
Be in orbit in 30 seconds.
Uh... Jim?
Incoming!
Fox One.
It's still coming!
Jim! What do we do?
Jim!
- Hayes! - No!
We lost them.
It's quiet.
Yeah, well...
We're in the middle of the detonation zone
from the missile strike.
We're only gonna get about a minute of this.
You all right?
Yeah.
I'm just not really used to the physical impact of it.
Well, we were pulling about five Gs there,
so I don't blame you.
Yeah.
I hear this ship has a cyclotron gyroscope
ballast here.
You don't know what that is?
It's artificial gravity.
Wow!
Wow, this is what you feel all day?
This is awesome!
I like this.
Try it on for size.
All right, focus up. We need to find that drone.
X.C., find the distress signal on our drone.
X.C. is back online.
Hello, Jim and Paul. Locating drone.
Now Excalibur can navigate us
straight to the drone.
I thought you said it wasn't tested.
Yeah, it's untested, but it has autopilot.
You know what that is.
Look, an AI component is a lot different than an autopilot.
Yeah, I get that, but this one's one of a kind.
You know, it's got the robotic arm,
laser guidance system, smart controls.
It'll save you from doing a little moon walk
to get the antimatter engine.
Look, you were there before we wanted to take off.
The ship wanted to delay until we had to tell it
there was a threat.
Paul, look, human instinct still has to be the baseline.
Okay, bro.
Diaz, the Damage Response team
needs to reactivate that satellite ASAP!
Run a fine-point signal to capture any onboard functions.
We have no communication with Lawson or the drone.
Their last alert was 10 minutes ago, correct?
These are distress signals.
The base was completely destroyed.
Do we have confirmation of that?
Ma'am, some of the distress signals
and security footage reached our feed before it went black.
There's nothing left of it.
Looks like there was some kind of explosion
that leveled at a five-square mile radius.
What about our Air Force?
Are there any bases capable of launching aircraft?
Ma'am, the communication database feed
shows heavy damage and destruction.
All of our assets are inoperable.
Half of them went down in the ocean
during the disruption of the poles.
The loss of life is enormous.
This craft looks familiar.
Yep. It ought to.
You designed it.
Really? So you just... so you took my design?
No, I didn't take your design, Jim.
I made the Defense Department make sure that all the parts
and designs go under your LLC.
So anything they use, you get paid for.
That was my way of trying to make things right.
I love that picture you got from George.
The one of us with Mom at the beach?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Dad must have lost that when he worked for George
before he went in the Air Force.
Man, he was so mad.
He'd loved that picture. It was his favorite.
I barely remember it.
Oh, you were only about five years old.
All I can remember is him laughing at something you said.
And then I tried to say something.
And he... He just patted me on the head.
Look, um...
It wasn't entirely your fault.
What wasn't?
Firing me.
Several years ago when you were still in high school,
you hadn't even started XVision yet,
I disobeyed a direct order on my first lunar mission.
I was ordered back to the lander,
but instead I went to recover this metal sample
that we'd lost when our rover failed.
I should have gotten a reprimand,
but instead they said I saved the mission.
I kind of developed a reputation for doing stuff like that.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, well, everyone in the Air Force loved Dad.
So they kind of loved me by association.
I mean, the reports, they should have said I was "reckless".
But they said I was "quick thinking".
And then when I lost control during last year's mission...
my reputation went right out the window.
I mean, it didn't matter that it was a gravitational anomaly
from 100 million miles out that forced my craft into the moon.
It didn't matter.
I couldn't save my copilot.
No matter how thorough my report was,
warning everyone about an asteroid so massive
that it could affect my spacecraft from that far out
and it was gonna strike the moon in less than a year...
no one believed me.
Not even you.
What happened last year wasn't your fault.
It wasn't your fault at all, actually.
It was mine.
I was the one that you discharged.
I was the one that threw you under the bus.
Jim, your copilot's death wasn't your fault.
None of this is. It's mine.
But it could have been my fault.
That's why it's not unreasonable for you
to strip me of my career in order to save XVision.
Just like it wasn't unreasonable for Stacey to leave me.
That's the dumbest thing you've ever said.
If that's true, then why did Dad have you drive him
to the hospital every single day for his treatments?
Not once did he ask me. You know why?
Because you're accountable.
You're accountable.
No cancellations, nothing ever came up.
You were always there.
And me...
I'm selfish.
Always trying to prove something.
You said Stacey's safe?
Yeah.
Yeah, Stacey's safe.
Good.
X.C., activate navigation.
Direct it towards that distress signal.
Navigation engaged.
Distance to drone: 5,300 miles.
Current speed: nearing MACH 20.
15,208 miles per hour.
Homing beacon interface visual and audio.
Malcolm...
Malcolm?
Ah... oh.
Malcolm?
Communications dish in D.C. might not have enough power
to get their message through to our astronauts.
To get to the Comm 4, it's at the top of the next ridge.
Plug the chip in that case
into the port inside the box on the building.
Malcolm? Malcolm?
Hey...
Malcolm.
No.
No!
Wake up!
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, Malcolm.
Ow!
Laser distancing detects a continuing disruption
to the Moon's orbit.
Hazardous flying conditions ahead.
Debris field assessment: 100,000 cubic miles.
Incoming! Meteor approaching! Evasive maneuvers!
All right, all right.
ETA to impact?
35 minutes.
Incoming! Two meteors approaching!
First is upper left, second is lower right.
Evasive maneuvers!
Hang on.
How fast can X.C. go?
MACH 30.
X.C., go to MACH 30!
Captain Lawson, given the intensity
of the current meteor shower, I cannot recommend...
X.C., the moon will crash into the earth
if we don't reach that drone.
Calibrating. This is an unprecedented event.
Risk assessment: both courses of action will lead
to the destruction of the spacecraft.
X.C., go at maximum speed now!
Increasing to maximum speed.
I am unable to advise further.
Good luck, Captain Lawson.
Good luck?
Pentagon, this is Comm Four Southwest.
Pentagon, do you read?
Comm Four, this is Colonel Hauser.
Do you have additional bandwidth to redirect
the Colossus disc?
It's your last chance to get that signal through.
Yes, ma'am.
Okay.
Okay, signal should be working.
Comm Four, we see no signal.
We're failing to reach maximum capacity.
Uh, stand by.
Okay.
Okay, you should have signal now.
Copy, Comm Four. Transmission is live.
Ma'am, radar is picking up an object
heading past the mesosphere and into the debris field.
Is it a rogue missile?
No, ma'am. It's a spacecraft.
That has to be Lawson.
Ma'am, our fine-point signal has regained
contact with the antimatter drive.
Try to make contact with the spacecraft.
There's too much interference, ma'am.
Amplify the signal to catch any onboard functions.
We can build a vectoring model
to send to Lawson in case he loses the drone.
The Colossus can't sustain the same stress levels
after its repairs, ma'am.
We have to get through to him even just for a status update!
Ma'am, radar is picking up a signal off the Chinese coast.
They sent out a global alert.
They've launched their nuclear weapons.
We need to warn him that a nuclear strike
in his vicinity is imminent.
Lieutenant, amplify the signal to the dish
even if it risks destroying it.
Yes, ma'am.
X.C., prepare the robotic arm.
Running diagnostics on the robotic arm.
All functions are optimal.
Lawson! Colonel Hauser.
Are we actually getting a signal from somewhere?
There's only a handful of sites on earth
that have that type of power of communication, so...
it's either the Pentagon or some other G8 country.
See if I can get it.
Go for Jim Lawson.
Can't get it.
Ma'am, the missiles from China are approaching
the upper atmosphere.
What's their time to impact?
Three minutes, 50 seconds.
Ma'am, we've rerouted additional power sources to the Dish.
But it won't hold up much longer.
I've got error messages popping up
from the main control switches.
Are the electrical engineers still at the mainframe?
Yes, ma'am.
Have them regulate the power fluctuations manually.
Turn off the smaller systems.
Just keep the main circuit from melting down.
Yes, ma'am.
We're about 8,000 yards out now from the drone.
We should have a visual.
Lawson...
Go for Jim Lawson.
Did not stop... Repeat, did not...
Oh, she's warning us about something here.
X.C., can you break though the static on the incoming message?
Clearing radio signal.
Paul, I apologize but I cannot clear the incoming message.
Only discernible words are "Repeat" and "Did not".
All right. Keep monitoring the radio.
We're almost to the drone.
X.C., move the robotic arm to port side.
Repositioning arm to port.
X.C., can you tell how much battery power is left
in the antimatter engine?
Battery reserve on the antimatter drive...
calculating 40%.
That battery's running out fast.
If it encounters a problem in orbit,
it's programmed to send the highest possible signal
and make sure it reaches earth.
Burns a lot of juice.
Ma'am, the nuclear missiles are exiting the atmosphere.
Lawson, this is Hauser.
Come in, Lawson! Lawson!
X.C., extend the arm, full extension.
Yes, Captain. Extending robot arm to maximum extension.
Reverse thrust 12%.
Reverse thrust 12%.
Acceleration at... 88%...76%.
Target within 1,000 yards.
X.C., assume control of the craft.
Bring us into a stabilized position
on the port side of the stalled drone.
Initiating guidance system
and assuming control of the spacecraft.
All right, X.C., use the robotic arm
to remove the antimatter drive.
Are there any fine motor fixtures which will require
use of the arm's toolkit?
X.C., there are 16 bolts and a breakaway shield.
Make sure they're all removed.
Yeah, I know a thing or two.
Captain Lawson, now that the bolts have been removed,
I will need to use the arm's welding torch
to unseal the welded joints on the engine's heat shield.
No, we can't risk a welder damaging the engine
under the shield.
The drone's too large to fit inside.
I may have to go out and recover it manually.
- Let's suit up. - Let's do it.
X.C., prepare for space walk. Open cargo bay doors.
Yes, Captain.
Air containment in progress and opening cargo bay doors.
- Good to go? - Yeah.
What do you need me to do?
Well, when I tell the AI to bring me back on the arm,
you monitor the controls.
Make sure it listens.
Copy that.
ETA?
We got 26 minutes!
Incoming! Nuclear missiles are approaching the debris field!
Warning! Detonation within the debris field is imminent!
Jim, we got a nuclear strike!
Don't touch anything!
Stand by!
Nuclear missiles are approaching the debris field!
Jim, emergency procedure requires
that astronauts outside...
Disregard emergency procedures!
X.C., do not listen to that order!
I am bringing Jim inside!
Paul, I see you've engaged the manual functions on the tether.
Jim, get your butt back in here now!
Don't bring me in!
I've almost got it!
I don't give a shit, Jim! Get back in here now!
Detonation in seven, six, five,
four, three, two, one...
Jim!
- Oh! - Oh.
Closing cargo bay.
Severe damage reported.
- Fuel line has been breached. - Go, go, go, go!
Fuel is leaking from the exterior
and interior of the spacecraft.
We need to shut off the fuel before anything ignites it.
- Fuel remaining: 78%. - It's no use.
All controls for the control panel has been severed.
All right. We'll have to shut down the engines.
- Shut down the engines? - 65%.
Any electronic onboard can ignite it!
I mean, we'd have to shut down this entire ship!
Well, that's what we're gonna do.
Maybe you forgot we just lost the drone.
I mean, we'd be floating dead in space, Jim!
Look, we don't have a choice!
If that explodes, we die
and every chance of saving the earth goes with us.
X.C., cease all onboard functions.
Power down the ship.
Captain, the craft is currently spinning out of control.
Cease all engine and onboard functions now.
Shut down the ship.
Ceasing all engine and onboard functions.
You better be right.
We need an alternate means of propulsion to reach the drone.
We can use the ship's air evacuator valves.
What? So we use the onboard air as propellant?
Exactly. Come on.
We've lost them, ma'am.
No, not necessarily.
We lost their onboard stream to our Cloud database.
Check the radar.
We still have a radar reading on Excalibur, ma'am.
It looks like the majority of their superstructure is intact.
Do we have any communication?
The systems are down, ma'am,
and thermal imaging suggests that their engines are off, too.
Ma'am, the structures above us have collapsed.
Call engineering.
Have them devise a brace for the structure.
Level Nine to engineers? Code Grey!
The floor above us is starting to collapse.
I repeat, Code Grey!
If Lawson's systems are offline,
he may need us to guide him to the drone
using our radar coordinates.
Level Nine engineers? Come in, Level Nine engineers.
Ma'am, the engineers aren't responding!
Try to find them on the server's location grid.
What are the orbital coordinates of the drone?
29.09 north, 71.17 east,
209 million 200 miles per hour at 94 degrees.
Threat Response team!
Give a full electrical surge to the Dish's mainframe.
And Morse Code the following coordinates, 29.09 north.
Look, I have a visual on the drone.
But there's no accurate way to judge distance
or coordinates, Jim.
Now what's the ETA to atmospheric impact?
18 minutes.
All right, look, we got four ducts
to evacuate air from the ship.
We got two here in the cockpit, two back in the cargo hold.
But we're going to need the exact location of the drone.
Is that Morse Code?
Well, it has to be the Pentagon!
It's a number.
It said 29.09 north.
Wait. That doesn't match our coordinates.
That's 12,000 miles from our starting point.
They're giving us the coordinates for the drone.
Yeah, but we've lost access to the ship's coordinates, Jim.
So we have no way of tracking it.
The compass, the compass!
Compass? What compass?
Jim, what compass?
Come on, come on, XC.
All right, look.
This is an old World War II compass.
The needle's painted with radium 66.
That's radioactive.
The engine has a proton cyclotron booster
just like the Hadron Collider.
Now when that blast went off,
this was within 40 feet of that engine.
So the subatomic particles were affected?
Exactly.
Separated into ions from the radium.
So now instead of magnetism pulling the needle,
the ions in the dial are mirroring the ions in the drone.
So it's overpowering the magnetic forces?
Right. And if we could find a horizontal plane relative
to the drone's orientation and relative
to its vertical orientation,
we can measure the angles on the dial,
triangulate the drone's current heading
relative to our position.
Yeah, but what about its speed?
All right, we can trace our path using the ship's database.
From when the nuke hit us 'til now,
calculating for distance over time.
That would work. That could work.
Come on.
Okay, use those dials to orient the horizontal
and vertical planes of the Excalibur's vector map
based on the direction of the compass' needle
relative to the drone.
Okay, the X and Y axis are recalibrated.
XC, calculate a vector path based on the new X and Y axis.
Aligning vectors now.
Vectors now synced.
Okay, let's get to the cargo hold.
What?
Don't scrape anything.
All right, pull at the same time.
This should bump us into a clean trajectory.
Yeah, I got it.
On three. Can you count that high?
Yeah!
All right, one, two...
- Three. - Three.
All right. We should be on target now.
Yeah, hopefully.
All right, we're on course.
Let's slow our speed as we approach the drone.
Okay.
You ready? We're gonna do this together on three.
Yep.
One, two...
- Three! - Three!
What happened?
Nothing. We must be getting out of air.
All right, again. One, two...
- Three! - Three!
We're not slowing down, Jim!
All right. We're gonna have to try to snag it
as we pass the drone.
Put on your helmet.
What?
Ma'am, look!
The Excalibur craft has changed course!
It's steering towards the drone!
Is our fine-point signal able to detect any communications?
No, ma'am, wait!
There's a vectoring update in data Cloud.
It updated with two parallel coordinates.
Good.
There must be something onboard their ship
with an active database.
Either their spacesuits or the drone or both.
Does the arm have a dedicated power source?
Yes.
All right, we have to turn it on.
But it could ignite the fuel!
We have to risk it.
- Okay. - Give me a countdown!
Got it.
Making contact in 10, 9,
8, 7, 6...
Extending the arm.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- We got it! - Yes!
We got it!
Open the overhead doors!
What is our ETA to the moon's impact?
Six minutes, ma'am.
Ma'am, the ceiling's not gonna hold much longer
We have to hurry!
The moon's close enough to the atmosphere
that it's causing "sprite" electrical charges!
Jim, the power surges are activating the ship.
The connection with the anti-matter drone
has been lost.
- Warning, power surge detected. - Oh, come on!
- Power surge detected. - We just lost the drone!
We have to shut down the system before...
Ma'am, there's been an explosion onboard the Excalibur!
The spacecraft is headed 16 degrees, Vector 19
directly into the sun's cosmic rays.
And the drone?
Do we have updates for the fine-point reading on the Dish?
We did capture an active signal to get it's last heading, ma'am.
Did you send a vectoring model to the ship before it exploded?
I kept updating your database every second, ma'am.
Then send a vectoring model through the Dish, maximum hertz!
Do we have the engine?
No. It broke free in the arm!
Fatal error! Fatal error!
The hull has been breached!
Repeat, the hull has been breached!
Failure of all artificial gravity
and emergency systems is imminent!
Catastrophic explosion!
X.C., where's the antimatter engine now?
I am unable to locate the antimatter drive.
The drive's distress signal has stopped.
Battery power is depleted.
What's our ETA for the moon?
- Paul! - What?
What's our ETA for the moon?
Three minutes and 20 seconds.
Disintegration of the spacecraft's superstructure
is imminent.
Integrity of the spacecraft...
Warning, disinti...
The ship's breaking up! Paul, the ship's breaking up!
Is there any other propulsion onboard?
Paul, get it together! Is there any other propulsion?
No, just us.
That's it.
I'm gonna get you outta here. I need you.
Come on.
Wait!
My radio is picking up a high-frequency pulse.
There's a waveform reading in the display.
It's a sequence.
It's a vector model, Jim. The drone's behind us!
Warning! Disintegration of the spacecraft
superstrucutre is imminent!
Warning! Di...
Hey, we can't stay on the ship.
We can use the car before the gravity dies!
What, Jim we can't use...
Zero to 100 in a second, baby.
Oh, yeah! Thank you, George!
Let's get it.
X.C., open cargo doors!
Now! Go, go, go!
Oh!
Woo hoo hoo!
Hey, you got a hole!
Give me your arm!
What's the time?
A minute and 58 seconds!
Here, fix it.
All right. It's okay.
Hey, brother, look, you trust me?
Sure!
Oh! Whoa!
What are you doing?
Paul, what's that light?
It's ionic particles being pushed by the sun!
Our suits can handle it!
Are you sure?
I hope so.
All right, listen.
We've got the nitrous in the trunk.
We can use that to shoot ourselves toward the drive!
That's the plan?
You got a better one?
No.
All right, let's get to the trunk!
Come on, come on, come on.
Take these.
Tape 'em to the side of the car.
Make sure the nozzles are pointed backwards.
1:30, we need to hurry!
Okay.
Now pop that nitrous when I give the word!
- You got it? - Got it!
All right.
Three, two, one...
Pop it!
All right, here we go.
It's working!
I'm gonna grab the drive.
You're only gonna get one shot!
Don't miss it, Jim! Here it comes!
Grab it!
Yeah!
Woo!
Nice grab, Jumbo!
The battery's completely dead!
Time to impact?
Minute and five!
What's that light?
The Moon's reached the earth's upper ionosphere.
The atmosphere is about to catch on fire!
Take that in the back!
Hurry up, Paul!
Jim, what's that?
Paul!
- Paul! - Ah!
Jim!
Jim!
I got you, brother!
Pull me in!
Pull me in!
I got you. Come on, buddy.
Come on back.
Where's the tape?
Got it!
Hold it still. I'm gonna tape it down!
- We're almost out of tape! - Use it all!
What are we doing?
All right, look.
The drive's battery has leads on it just like any other battery.
All it needs is a current to turn it back on!
I'll throw the switch, the engine will start.
I'll rip the shield off the side of the battery.
You can't! It's screwed on!
Well, keep pulling!
Agh!
Come on!
Tear that thing off!
We need to get the cadmium regulator!
I got it!
Great, let me connect the battery.
Okay, the battery is connected.
All right, great!
Here. Attach these,
Just pull, man!
Can't! It's too short!
All right. We need something metal, something...
We don't have anything metal!
Something that conducts electricity.
Look in the glove box!
We don't have anything.
I got it, I got it, I got it!
Hurry! Hook it up!
All right, here we go.
- You ready? - I'm ready!
Here we go!
- It's working! - It's working!
All right, go!
Ma'am, there's been an explosion on the far side of the moon!
It's a black hole!
They did it!
Phew!
We're about to re-enter the atmosphere!
Paul!
Paul, hang on, buddy!
Paul!
Hang on, buddy! I'm coming!
Need... to shield...
slow the fall...
All right, here we go.
All right.
Hang on, buddy.
Hold on.
Hold on!
Here we go!
Almost there.
All right, buddy. We're going too fast.
We gotta find a way to slow us down.
Let me secure us.
Here we go.
All right.
All right.
You know you cried when Mom made us share a bed on vacation.
Look at us now.
I'm gonna get you home in one piece, brother.
Okay. Hold on.
Hold on!
Hang on, bro!
It's 50 below up here!
But you gotta breathe, brother!
Come on, man.
You gotta breathe.
This air's too thin for me,
but you breathe that oxygen, brother!
Go on, breathe!
Breathe.
Come on, Jim. Wake up!
Wake up, man!
Jim!
Jim!
Jim Lawson, do you copy?
Jim Lawson, do you read this?
Wake up, Jim! Come on!
Jim!
Oh!
Oh, thank God!
Thank God! Come on. Get you up. Come on
You did it! You did it.
We both did it.
- I'm proud of you. - I'm proud of you, man.
I bet Dad is too, man.
Yeah.
Gentlemen, congratulations.
Oh, Colonel Hauser!
We'll be sending a transport to pick you up shortly.
D.C. just reopened our bunker
and there are a couple of people down here
who want to say hello.
Paul? Are you there, Paul?
Juni! Juni, it's me.
We did it!
- I love you so much. - We love you, Daddy.
- Come home! - I love you, too.
Daddy's coming home!
Come in, Jim Lawson!
Jim?
Jim, it's Stacey!
Jim, please tell me you're okay.
Stacey, is that you?
Jim, it's me.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
Woo-hoo-hoo!
Come home.
Come home, Jim.
I'm okay.
