Jack king: T-minus 15 seconds.

Guidance is internal.

Twelve, 11, 10, nine...

Ignition sequence starts.

Six, five, four,

three, two, one...

Zero. All engines running.

Liftoff. We have liftoff on Apollo 11.

Neil Armstrong: Fuel and oxygen steady.

Cabin holding. Power is good.

Altitude, four miles now.

Velocity, 2, 195 feet per second.

Buzz aldrin: Good radar data.

Altitude now, 33,500 feet.

How are you looking? All your systems go?

King: They're a go. Hang tight.

You're a go to continue power descent.

Armstrong: Uh, Houston,
I'm getting a little fluctuation.

Charlie Duke: And, eagle,
Houston, we got data drop-outs.

Aldrin: Three feet down, two and a half.
Picking up some dust.

Armstrong: Okay. Engine stop.

The eagle has landed.

"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

it's gonna take a lot
to drag me away from you

there's nothing that a hundred men or more

could ever do

I bless the rains down in Africa

gonna take some time to do
the things we never had...

What does it even mean
to "miss the rains down in Africa "?

The lyrics are
"I bless the rains down in Africa."

What? No, they're not.

Fowler: Uh, yes, they are.

Brian: It makes even less sense.

Well, I should know,
because I karaoke'd it at my wedding.

Brian: Ah. Well, I must have missed that.

I was in the zone.
Tearing it up on the dance floor.

You can't dance
to save your life.

Anyone ever tell you guys
you bicker like an old married couple?

That's 'cause she's my work wife.

Back to work, rookie.

Could ever do

I miss the rain down in Africa

I would like to thank you for spending
your honeymoon in space with us.

It was either space or Italy.

But Italy doesn't beat this view.

Brian: Imiss the rains

down in Africa

Brian. Oh, my god.

Brian:
I miss the rains down in Africa

What the hell is that?

Marcus: Brian!

- Marcus!
- Marcus: Help me.

I'm losing air. I'm losing air.

Brian!

- Jo. Fowler, come in.
- Marcus: Help me.

Brian: Marcus!

Oh, god.

Okay, hang on.

Marcus. Marcus, come in.

Marcus.

Marcus. God damn it.

Come on.

Come on.

No. Marcus...

I'm gonna get you home.

Newscaster:
Our viewers might remember

the accident that happened

during a routine satellite
repair mission 18 months ago.

Today, a d. C. Court of appeals handed down
the final judgement on ex-astronaut

Brian Harper's wrongful termination suit
against NASA, his former employer.

We have obtained footage
of an internal NASA debriefing

where Harper claimed that the accident

was caused by a mysterious
technological space anomaly.

So, this so-called "swarm"
hit the shuttle?

Yes, for the 50th time.

It impacted in the mare crisium.

Hutchings: Commander Fowler,
a passing meteor or a solar flare

could have caused that kind
of disturbance, correct?

Fowler: As you know,
I was unconscious, but...

Hutchings: Yes or no?

Can a solar flare cause
the kind of disturbance you witnessed

in the shuttle's on board system?

I guess, yes, technically. It could have.

Brian: Are you kidding me?

I lost my friend up there.

Hutchings: Because of negligence.

Newscaster: Harper was once celebrated

for his heroic landing
of the endeavour space shuttle

in spite of a complete meltdown
of all on board electronics.

Harper's legal options have been exhausted

and it's become clear that the accident
was the result of human error.

Today's loss is the final blow
in this very public fall from grace.

Brenda: Hey, Sonny.

Do you need to be watching that again?

You know what?

Grandma is going to be
so excited to see you.

Dad's not coming, is he?

Your dad's got a lot going on right now.

I know. That's why we lost the house.

Maybe he'll come visit you
for Thanksgiving.

Would you like that?

I don't wanna move.

I hate New Jersey.

I'm sorry, sir. My mum always said

"it's better to beg for forgiveness
than ask permission."

Oh, crap. Was that red or blue?

Please tell me it was blue.

Man:
Observatorio nacional de Chile.

- Esteban?
- Esteban: Si?

- It's professor arrowood.
- Esteban: Ah!

Isee you're logging in
to our telescope, professor.

Oh, yeah. I'm still tracking
our moon's orbit.

Would you mind sending last night's scans?

Use the other e-mail I gave you though,
not the school one.

Esteban: Like always, sir.

Gotta run. Um, uh...

- Ciao.
- Esteban: Adios.

Hola senoras.

Hola.

You're seven and a half minutes late.
I have to write this up.

- Hello, there.
- Hi.

What can I get you?

I'd like a pastrami madness...

And I would also like to ask you, dear,

what sauces do you serve
with the pastrami?

Oh, yeah. We've got barbecue,
honey mustard, ranch...

What the fuck!

What was the... the last one?

One madness coming up.

- We have a strict no phone policy.
- Can I take my 10?

Hello. My name is Dr. Kc houseman,
and I've uncovered what might be

the most important discovery
in human history.

I need you to patch me through
to the director of NASA immediately.

Honey, I sell t-shirts and toys.

I can patch you through
to customer service.

Please hold.

Hello?

- Black, two sugar.
- Oh, you read my mind. Thank you.

- What are you doing up so early?
- I could ask you the same.

Is everything okay?

Will be. So I'm gonna be home by dinner.

If I'm not, make sure Jimmy
does his homework,

- has a bath...
- You worry too much.

- I've got everything under control.
- Right. Talk soon.

Okay, don't everybody speak at once.

The moon's orbit has shifted.

I'm s orry 7

its orbital radius is decreasing.

- Well, that's not possible.
- We thought the same,

so we ran the numbers
and triple-checked our data.

So, the moon's been orbiting
around the earth for billions of years,

and now you're telling me
it's changed its course?

This isn't kindergarten, speak.

Right, uh, yes. So, on its last orbit,

our lunar reconnaissance probe
picked up something strange.

- Fowler: What is that?
- We don't know.

We have photometric measurements of
gaseous spectra being emitted from inside.

Where is this?

Johansen: Mare crisium.

Kc: How many times do I have to tell you?

I need to speak to deputy director Fowler

immediately.

But this is urgent.

I understand how
a restraining order works,

but if you people at NASA
won't listen to me,

how am I supposed to...

Hello?

What would elon do?

Oh, fuzz aldrin.

How many times have I told you
to use the litter box?

Oh, god.

"Astronaut day." This is today.

Fuzz, you're a damn genius!

Extra back scratches later.

Our teacher said
you're a washed up no-show.

She's complaining to someone.

You really don't look like an astronaut.

Well, are you going to
teach us about space or what?

Man: Brian!

Brian!

Open the goddamn door.
You're three months late!

Shit.

I can hear you in there.

- Oh, shit. Oof!
- Brian!

Kc: To put it bluntly,
the moon is a megastructure.

Do you get it? Huge and artificial!

Whoever built this incredible thing
must think we're a pathetic species.

But don't even get me started on eclipses.

They're only possible because the moon
is exactly 400 times smaller than the sun,

and exactly 400 times closer to the earth.

Anyone know how that happened?

- Uh... 'Cause the moon's a megastructure?
- Yeah, someone's paying attention!

Let me tell you kids something.

When Apollo 12
dropped their empty fuel tank,

the impact made the moon ring like a bell.

Bong!

It rang for hours. And do you know why?

Because the damn moon is hollow.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Hello. I'm Brian Harper.
I'm supposed to be speaking here today.

Boy: Oh!

I'm Dr. Kc houseman, megastructurist.
It's a real honor.

- I'm sorry, who are you?
- Um...

I've made a shocking discovery.

I need you to get me in touch
with NASA immediately.

Well, NASA and I aren't really
on speaking terms these days.

Well, that will change

when you tell them
that the moon is out of orbit.

Really?

Hey, kids, I'm gonna
go get this all sorted out.

Be right back.

Look at the data.

A natural body does not
change its orbit overnight.

Yeah, well, my natural body
is walking away from you right now.

There must be something wrong
with the moon's power source.

- Yeah, that must be it.
- I knew you'd believe me.

People usually think
I'm some kind of crackpot.

Hey, fellas, I need this guy
escorted off the premises

for impersonating me
and creeping out a bunch of school kids.

I was not impersonating you.

Sir, I'm going to have
to ask you to come with us.

Sorry, man. I got enough
on my plate without

some crazy guy thinking
the moon's out of orbit.

- I'm not crazy!
- Okay.

Read this.

All right, I'm on my way.

Oh. Hi.

Is this a butt dial?

Put on channel 16.

Brian: Well, I thought
we weren't speaking anymore.

Are you watching?

Reporter: The two suspects
who have rolled through

at least two red lights...

Okay, looks like some idiot
tried to outrun the cops.

Yeah. That idiot is your son.

Sonny doesn't even have a car.
I'm still fixing up the mustang.

Tom gave him one for his birthday.

Reporter: The car has stopped.
It's an expensive sports car.

Two young men that appear
to be in their 20s...

Oh, my god. Are you seeing this?

Reporter: LAPD have them in custody.

Out for a joy ride and this day
is not going to end well for them.

Newscaster: There you have it.
Another high-speed car chase...

Bailiff: Next case, Sonny Neil Harper.

It says here you just turned 18.

Unfortunately, that makes you an adult
in the eyes of the law.

What? Hey, aren't you gonna say something?

Because of the reckless nature
of your actions

and the amount of illegal substances
present at the time of your arrest...

No, your honor. Those drugs weren't his.

They were just his buddy's.
They were on their way

- to a concert.
- Quiet in my court.

Well, he just got scared.
That's why he took off.

All right, that's it. Bailiff.

Your honor, excuse the actions
of my client's father.

We're prepared to pay
whatever the bail is right now.

Money's no object.

Well, I guess that makes
the defendant a flight risk.

Your honor, we do not mean
to offend the court in any way.

I'm postponing this
bail hearing till next week.

Bailiff, remove Mr. Harper.

Wait. You can't... don't listen to him.

You can't put him in jail for a week.
Please, I'm begging you.

Sonny, I'm gonna get you out.

If you're looking
for the deal of your life,

come to Tom Lopez Lexus,

where you're not just a customer,
we treat you like family.

Do you have any idea
how a courtroom operates?

Your lawyer was doing nothing.

Oh, so you know better than my lawyer

who's on a $50,000 retainer!

I thought money was no object, Tom.

Oh, no, no, no.
It is when you don't have any.

Brian: Nice move, by the way.
Sonny's now a flight risk.

Yeah. Oh, yeah.
This guy's unbelievable. Unbelievable.

All right, everyone, just cool it.

- Now, what the hell happened?
- Tom: Oh, what happened?

When Brian had to open his big mouth,
he had a little speech.

- Oh, my god. Go to hell, Tom.
- Yeah, you know what?

And you go to outer space,

- far away from us.
- Brenda: Guys!

We're all just trying
to help Sonny right here.

Oh, wait, Brian's trying
to help Sonny? Since when?

Brenda, honestly, what do you
see in this schmuck?

Oh, you're a big man, aren't you?

How did this happen? Why wasn't he at usc?

He moved out when you
got him that new apartment.

So ask him.

He barely returns my calls anymore.

Welcome to the club.

Oh, kc, is that you?

Hey, mum. Rosmarinus officinalis.

A few studies have found
that smelling Rosemary

can improve your short-term memory.

Oh, that's lovely, dear. Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, no, no, no, mum. Let me do that.

There we go. So, how are you feeling?

Great. But enough about me.

Everybody here knows
that my son is a genius working at NASA.

What?

I'm a nobody, mum.

Well, you're somebody to me.

I actually did make a discovery.
But it doesn't matter.

- No one will listen to me.
- Then make them.

Make them listen?

Oh, hello.

Are you new here?

No, mum.

It's me. It's kc.

Yourson.

Hutchings: Can someone tell me
what the hell I'm looking at?

The moon has entered an elliptical orbit.

Meaning?

Man 1: It'll circle around us three times
before it reaches the roche limit

at 17,000 kilometers.

At that point, city-sized
pieces of moon debris

will rain down on us.

Hutchings: So we have three months?

Man 2: Not exactly.

As the moon moves closer to us,
our months will begin to shorten.

We've estimated a timeline
of roughly three weeks.

Maybe less than that.

We have some new high-res
scans that just came in.

Jesus Christ.

Is that a hole in the crater floor?

So what are our options here?

We have to go back to the moon.
We have to see what's going on up there.

How do we carry crew?

I've already talked
to my contacts in Europe.

We can potentially get a stc-62
en route by tomorrow.

Potentially? Great.

I'll just brief the president on a maybe.

In the meantime, everyone
keep your mouths shut.

Man 2: Um...

That might be a problem.

It's, uh, trending on Twitter
as of two minutes ago.

It's your ex-husband.

Fowler: Thank you.

Hey, Doug, I'm a little busy
right now. What is it?

Doug: Is it true?

Tell me there's been some kind of mistake.

I wish I could,

but the math actually checks out.

So, it's happening.

How's Jimmy?

Well, you'd know
if you saw him once in a while.

Please don't start.
I call him all the time.

Sorry, I gotta run.

- Your honor.
- Jesus Christ!

I guess hanging up wasn't clear enough.

I just need two minutes of your time.

You have till I reach the door.

I got a classic bike
and my son's vintage mustang

that I can use as collateral
till I get money, whatever you need.

Are you trying to bribe me?
In a courthouse?

- I just wanna get my son back.
- The courts are closed.

- Will they reopen Monday?
- Not likely.

What's that supposed to mean?

Look, I'm just trying
to get the heck outta here

before the traffic becomes a nightmare.

- I suggest you do the same.
- Newscaster: Breaking news.

We go now live to the NASA press briefing

to discuss the moon being out of orbit.

Reporter: Astronomers
have noticed bright lights

on the lunar surface lately.

Do you know the identity
of the anonymous source?

Hutchings: Everyone, please.

We 're confident that
the lunar recon mission

will provide the necessary data
to address the problem.

There's no need to panic.
That's all for now.

You just lied to the whole country.

Hutchings: Get in line, you work for me.

I work for the American people,
and you're keeping them in the dark.

Yeah.

Scientist: NASA is
completely downplaying this.

Imagine the tides on the coast...

Growing hundreds of times larger,
moving hundreds of miles inland,

then you'll get an idea
of what we 're in for.

Newscaster: Some of
your harshest critics claim

- that you're exaggerating...
- Tom: Hey.

All flights to the west coast
have been cancelled.

And I'm stuck in traffic.

Tom: Oh, I'm so sorry.

Scientist: Moving to higher ground

it's the only possible chance
of surviving this.

Honey. We should go to Aspen.

What about Sonny?
We can't just leave him there.

Tom: No, no, no.
We 're not gonna leave him.

The lawyer's gonna get him out
the moment the judge sets bail.

And I'll find a way
to get him to Colorado.

- We're going to Colorado?
- No. No, Tom.

Scientist: Earth's stronger gravity
will completely break the moon apart

and send thousands

of mile-sized chunks
raining down upon the planet.

Okay, okay, okay.
Hey, Google. Turn off the TV.

Girls, go pack.

Google: Turning the TV off.

Tom: Girls, go pack your snow boots.
Come on. Hurry up.

We have to start thinking about the girls.

And trust me,
we are not gonna forget about Sonny.

Man: T-minus five seconds.

Four, three,

two, one.

Ignition.

Reporter 1: This is it.

The entire world is holding
its collective breath

as the joint missions between NASA

and the European space agencies

take to the skies today.

Reporter 2: Nations remain hopeful

of NASA's lunar mission

as frantic shoppers continue
to stockpile supplies

as mounting moon terror fuels

the mass migration
out of metropolitan areas.

Newscaster 1: Civilization
has already taken a serious nosedive.

Looting has become
a favorite pastime in the United Kingdom.

Reporter 3: Fear and panic
have overtaken our city.

The national guard struggles
to restore some kind of order.

Man: Stay awake, my brothers and sisters.

As the stars fall from heaven, stay awake!

Reporter 4: These armed religious fanatics

have racked up thousands of followers
all over the country.

Reporter 5: In other news,
prominent scientists

are now exploring the possibility
that perhaps the moon could be

some sort of orbital megastructure.

A term first popularized
by fringe astronomers,

megastructures describe
artificial planet-sized objects

said to be powered by captured stars.

This once radical possibility

is now gaining traction
among a scientific community

desperate for answers.

Come out! Hands up!

Easy, easy.

You're that astronaut guy
from the other day.

I accidentally threw away
some very important papers.

Lucky for you,
sanitation hasn't come by all week.

Yeah, it's, uh, lucky for me.

"Orbital distance"?

Are you looking for this?

Kc: My fellow megastructurists,

if you're watching this,
then you know by now

a huge problem is heading our way,

and we're the only ones who can solve it.

An emergency meeting is being called,
our usual place immediately.

L.A. palm hotel. Today. 1800. Free bagels.

Lunar orbit insertion complete.

Houston, we 're approaching
the mare crisium.

Initiating capsule rotation.

Affirmative.

Fifteen degrees. 30.

Forty-five. 70.90.

Commander: Stc-62 in position.

Houston, you seeing this?

Fowler: Copy, we see it.

Prepare to deploy the probe.

Affirmative. Releasing probe.

Stand by for stage two.

Mosley: Dropping steadily.

Kc: Iposted on every platform.

Why don't those idiots at NASA
see the real problem?

Because they obviously haven't read
famed cosmologist Carl sagan's work,

where he clearly states

that a natural satellite
cannot be a hollow object.

I... I've been saying that
for years, Dr. Houseman.

That doesn't help us now, does it, Ziggy?

This room is full of the smartest

and most visionary people in the world.

Kc: We all know the moon's
a constructed object. Okay?

There has to be a way to fix it.

Come on, people, think outside the box.

Oswald did it.

Oh, damn it, Gary. Not now.

Mr. Harper.

What are you doing here?

Probably making a huge mistake.

Can we talk?

How did you know I was here?

Your website.

You read my blog?

You knew all this was
happening before anyone.

Before NASA. How?

Why bother?

- You're just gonna say I'm crazy again.
- Try me.

Well, for years I've been
studying distant planets,

searching for one of
these orbiting megastructures.

But I never could have imagined

there'd be one right here,
in our own backyard.

Ever heard of a Dyson sphere?

Yeah.

Every megastructure has a rigid shell
built around a power core.

Most likely a captured white dwarf
that's being harnessed for energy.

Something obviously happened
to the one inside our moon

and that's why it's veering off course.

Yeah, still crazy.

Why did you come here
if you're not going to believe me?

'Cause I know what it's like
to try to tell people something

and have no one listen.

Mosley: Probe depth
has reached 24.5 kilometers.

Twenty-five kilometers.

Holding steady at 25.6 kilometers.

Still holding.

- It stopped?
- It's coming back.

Twenty-four kilometers.

Twenty.

Fifteen.

We got another problem.

- The moon's orbit is shifting again.
- What?

It's correcting itself.

Uh, Houston,

we're experiencing
some kind of malfunction.

Houston, do you copy?
Houston, do you copy?

- What the hell is that?
- I don't know.

Hull breach. Helmets.

Reporter: In breaking news,

NASA has just corrected

their initial projection...

Of the moon's path over earth.

The governor has just ordered

the mass evacuation
of the entire west coast,

recommending that people
urgently head to higher ground.

Guys!

The... the... the tide, it's coming.

Come on. We gotta get outta here.

Kc: Wait!

Everybody, upstairs. Go!
Everybody, get up!

Come on! Go, go!

Kc, what are you doing?

Kc!

Kc, hang on!

I can't swim! Dr. Houseman!

Hang on!

He's right there. He's right there.

Hang on!

Come on!

Come on.

Brian: Come on.

It's some kind of self-aware,
self-replicating singularity.

Like a machine?

Machines don't have
intelligence. This does.

It's everything we feared about al.

And it knew we were coming.

So it was probably drawn out by
the electronic signature of the capsule.

Everything we thought we knew
about the nature of the universe

has just gone out the window.

We're not prepared for this.

Deb, don't argue,
just pack your stuff. We're leaving.

So you're just gonna quit?

What do you want me to do?

I want you to help us figure out what
the hell this thing is, so we can beat it.

We're not equipped for that.
You've seen what we're up against.

You've been gunning for my job
for a while, Fowler.

Congrats, it's yours.

What are you not telling me?
You've got q clearance.

The hole is in the mare crisium.

That's what the Harper
hearings were all about.

If you're serious about going
down the NASA rabbit hole,

you should pay a visit to holdenfield.

Here's your clearance.

Clerk: How did you get down here?

Fowler: Hutchings gave me this.

I'll need all records of stx-136a.

You waiting for something?

Marcus: What the hell is that?

I feel it.

Man: What are you doing?

Holdenfield?

You're not supposed
to have that, 136 Alpha.

That's classified. Top secret.

Why is NASA lying about all this?

July 20th, 1969.

"One small step for man,

"one giant leap for..." Yada, yada, yada.

In school, you were taught that Apollo 11
lost contact with mission control

for two minutes. Not true.

Mission control
cut their feed to the world

because they found something on that day.

Strange pulsating lights

emanating from beneath the moon's crust.

It was me who was assigned
to keep it under wraps.

The Apollo crew played ball.
Everybody after.

Just Brian Harper wouldn't.

They called him crazy.

Threw him out with the trash.

You're telling me that the moon

was effectively the biggest
cover-up in human history?

Biggest? Probably.

You had blood on your hands, too.

Yeah, well, anyone who follows orders

pretty much always does, don't they?

That technology,
it's light years ahead of us.

Compared to that, we're the stone age.

The only shot we had to stop it

was zulu X-ray 7.

It was shut down. Shelved.

For budgetary reasons.

Well, commander, I have pressing business

waiting for me on my desk.

The sand in the hourglass
is dropping quickly for all of us.

It's as good as gone.

I'm really sorry.

Really.

Damn it.

Kc: What's wrong?

I can't reach my son.

Word is, um, you're an astronaut,

so you must know that

the entire inside
of the moon is full of produce.

Kc, can you tell birkenstocks here

that I'm dangerously close
to hurling him out a window?

Okay, well, let's find an empty room.

Ziggy: How do you think
the incas got their potatoes?

Sorry.

You said that if we can
destroy this thing...

Fowler: We have a theory that the moon
might return to its original orbit.

And how do you propose we do that exactly?

You said so yourself,
using a modern spacecraft is not feasible.

I am working on a solution.

General Jenkins:
We appreciate your effort,

but this is now a military operation.

We'll take it from here.

Doug! Wait!

If you launch nukes,

the global fallout
is gonna kill everybody.

Who said anything about nukes?

You are making a big mistake here.

Please, let me put together a plan.

We have a plan.

Look, why don't you and Jimmy
come with me to Colorado?

You'll be safe there.

What are you asking me to do?
Quit? Give up?

I'm asking you to think about our son.

I am thinking about our son.

Kc: Where is he?

Uh, jail.

He's a good kid, just made a mistake.

I was always doing stupid things.

Don't know how my parents put up with me.

We never had a lot of money,
but sometimes we'd all get fish 'n chips,

sit out on the dock
and just watch the stars for hours.

That was when I first dreamed
of being an astronaut.

After my father passed,

my mum wanted to move back to the states.

My dad laughed when I told him
I wanted to be an astronaut.

Didn't believe in you?

Oh, that's putting it lightly.

I worked my ass off to get into NASA.

I read all about your last mission.

You saw alien tech.

And NASA insisted it was a meteor.

But it wasn't?

It was unlike anything I'd ever seen.

And, you know, the worst part

is I lost a friend up there.

And it was my fault.

Oh, come on. How was it your fault?

You saved the shuttle. You saved Fowler.

A lot of good that did.

I'm divorced, broke, my son hates me.

God, I am so jealous.

Alien tech.

It's freakin' awesome.

Reporter: Extreme weather is hammering
the eastern seaboard and Gulf coast

with high tides and flooding

wreaking havoc
on residents and properties.

Folks, if you aren't
already on high ground,

you better get there as soon as possible.

Michelle: Um, as an exchange student,

are you sure they're going
to let me into the bunker?

Yeah. Don't worry about it.
I'll take care of it.

Thank you.

Reporter: And loss of life
in populated areas.

As you can see, the images
coming out of Bangladesh

-are simply horrific
-mom, are we gonna die?

No. No, sweetheart.

I know all of this that's happening
seems so scary,

but we are not gonna die. Okay?

We're all gonna be safe
with dad in Colorado.

Are you sending more rockets to the moon?

No. No. You know why?

Because we don't...
We don't have any more of these.

Why not?

Because they're all in museums.

And, um...

I love you, sweetheart.

Fowler: Hey, Doug.

What is a zx-7?

Doug: Who told you about that?

Fowler: Well, come on. What is it?

Zulu X-ray seven
was a prototype emp device.

But the program got disbanded.

Okay, well, it's clear that
this thing inside the moon

is technological in nature, right?

I assume they thought an emp
could take the thing out.

We don't have a way into space
so this is a moot point.

Okay, well, how far along was the testing?

Jocinda, NASA isn't cleared
for another mission.

How about you let me worry about that?

Auclair: GPS is locked on l2.

Compensate latitude by minus 4.5 west.

4.5 degrees. Copy.

Reducing to 10 knots.

Auclair: Open the door.

Brian: Yeah?

- Auclair: Brian Harper?
- Yeah.

We need you to come with us.
It's a matter of national security.

All right. Give me a second.

I'm not going anywhere without him.

Yeah, we're a team.

Oh. Sorry, I'm sorry, miss.

Sorry.

Oh, sorry, sorry.

It's been nearly three hours.
That can't be a good sign.

What's with all the pill popping?
You're really sweating over there.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

No. I broke into uc irvine multiple times.

I lost two of their mops.

They probably know.

Oh, you gotta be kidding me. No.

Look, I don't want to be here
any more than you do.

Sit down.

No, no, no. I don't have to
take orders from you anymore.

I'm just curious, you still
screwing over your friends?

- Oh, you talking about me?
- How many of these

- wonderful people here...
- Fowler: Really?

Guys!

Who the hell is this?

Dr. Kc houseman, ma'am.

I wrote you several e-mails,
but you never responded.

What's this all about?

Follow me.

What you're about to see,

only a handful of people
have ever seen before.

Kc knew the moon was out of orbit
before you guys did.

Social media went wild
when I posted my research.

- You're the "unidentified source"?
- Oh, yes.

Oh, god.

Mosley, pull up the tunnel, please.

Our readings estimate its depth
to be over 25 kilometers.

Brian: That's the mare crisium.

Fowler: Exactly.

I think whatever happened
all those years ago

is directly responsible
for what's happening right now.

Oh, so you believe me now?

I saw your helmet cam.

It's a little late for an apology.

Fowler: We were both lied to.

The international mission
didn't just go sideways.

It was attacked.

A technological life form.

No effin' way.

Fowler: During the attack,
the moon was attempting

to return to its original orbit,

until this thing
went back inside the moon.

This is what I've been trying to tell you.

It's doing something
to the megastructure's power core.

- Excuse me. The megastructure?
- Please don't ask.

It's highly likely
our moon was built by aliens.

We have to get inside
and make first contact.

I told you not to ask.

All right, look, we're planning
a mission to attack this thing.

The only problem is,
is it recognizes our technology.

Which is why we need you.

Well, I never thought
I'd hear you say that again.

You're the only pilot
to ever land a shuttle without power.

Not exactly a hirable skill.

Well, it is right now,

which is why I'm offering you
your job back,

and I'm personally
asking you for your help.

Say yes, Brian.

I don't know.

I got a lot of my own problems down here.

And the moon falling onto earth

isn't one of them?

I was wrong to bring you here. I am done.

How do you plan on getting up there?

You know all of our shuttles
are in museums.

The endeavour is right here in la.

Plus, the Chinese are offering
their prototype moon lander.

I know it sounds completely crazy.

No, no, what you showed us was crazy.

This is a whole other level of insane.

Ought to be right up your alley then, no?

If I do this,

I'm gonna need something in return.

Did you reach him?

Yeah. It's being handled.

Sonny's gonna meet us at vandenberg.

Brian: Looks like we missed the party.

I didn't even get an invite.

Fowler: At least somebody's
on the same page as us.

Hey, hey. Look what I found!

Maybe we can use it as toilet paper.

- What?
- Take a look around you, man.

- It's worthless.
- Whatever. Let's go.

Man: Attention,

we are asking everyone
to please clear the streets

and to remain indoors...

Dude, dude, we gotta get outta here. Go!

Yeah. This is really,
really exciting, isn't it?

Newscaster: As leaders
around the world struggle for answers,

new images have surfaced
suggesting that NASA

might have plans for a new lunar mission.

But so far, NASA and the white house have
not responded to requests for comment.

And this is just in
from our correspondent in Southeast Asia.

Apparently, the moon is causing
a drastic increase in tectonic activity.

Reports of countless earthquakes
and volcanic eruptions keep pouring in.

That's weird.

What's weird?

The moon doesn't have
enough gravity to do that,

no matter how close it gets.

You still don't get it.

We're dealing with a megastructure.

Your rules don't apply anymore.

Fowler: We've been here how long now,
and nobody's bothered to paint over that?

It's kinda growing on me.

Hey, where's Sonny?

I sent a ground crew to the prison, okay?

But I haven't heard anything
in a few days.

Why the hell didn't you say that?

'Cause I need you to be focused
on what's happening right here.

Megastructures move through space
without an exhaust system.

The moon has an engine?

Hold that thought. I'll be right back.

Well, at least your husband
came through with that.

Ex-husband.

- Colonel.
- Director Fowler.

Commander Harper.
I'm lieutenant colonel Reed.

This is captain Avery.

We've been briefed by general Davidson.

Avery: We need to walk you
through the arming procedure.

I'm an astronaut, not a soldier.

I'll get you where you need to go,

but I'm not setting off any bomb.

We don't expect you to.

We'll accompany you on the mission
and activate the device,

but you need to be familiar with
the process should complications arise.

Avery: The bomb's security
and authentication systems

have been removed.

Meaning we can arm it
without approval from the ground.

Using a remote trigger.

Two clicks, then push this down and hold.

Triggers the device to go off.

- Simple.
- Yeah. Simple.

Nearing vandenberg, captain. Over.

Roger that.

Should've gotten you the jumbo platter.

Thank you for getting me out.

You can thank your dad.

Brian: Plan is to take off
when the moon is closest to earth.

Now, since we're dealing
with an unpredictable target,

navigation is gonna be crucial.

Our navigator, Carl Saunders,
is gonna be making sure we hit the Mark,

flight engineer Hannah Martin
will run real-time calculations

to ensure that we intercept the moon.

And once we clear the atmosphere,
we'll begin the refueling process.

Thankfully our friends at SpaceX

have a propellant depot
currently in orbit.

I love elon.

Brian: So once we're all powered off,

we'll use our thrusters
to position ourselves

over the mare crisium.

Our Chinese friends
have Jerry-rigged the on board systems

so that we can fly it without electronics.

So we'll park the rover section
of the module with the bomb inside,

then switch the electronics back on

and use it as bait
to lure this thing out of its hole.

Then, you guys will pull the trigger

and kill it.

And then, hopefully,
we all can go back home.

If we still have one left.

What did I say?

Sonny. Oh, my god, son.

- Thank god you're okay.
- Thank you.

- Hold on.
- Brian: Okay.

Just so I'm clear,
you're gonna take a bomb into space.

And why are you even here? You hate NASA.

Just try to understand. If there's even

the smallest chance
that this could work...

- What if it doesn't?
- It has to.

I want you to have a world
you can grow up in.

Where you can be a better man than me.

Hey.

Doug: What have you seen
since you've been there?

Jimmy:
The space shuttle and stuff.

Do you miss me?

Yeah, I really miss you.

I miss you, too, my little man.

Is mom around?

Mom, it's dad.

Fowler: Wow, he's getting good.

Yeah?

I held up my end of the bargain.

I want you and Jimmy in Colorado.

We are. We're gonna be
airlifted out of here

as soon as the shuttle launches.

Look, if anyone finds out

- what I've done for you...
- They won't.

You just make sure
your trigger-happy buddies

keep their hands off the nukes.

Sorry, guys.

Out of 2%. I looked everywhere.

Nah, this is great. Thanks, man.

You know, I almost got a job at NASA.

What department?

Jannofial

Man 1: Get out!

Man 2: Hang on!

Is this your current
projected lunar orbit?

- Yeah.
- Why?

This obviously isn't accounting
for the moon's increased mass.

Look at all this seismic activity
in the wake of its orbit.

We know the moon's surface gravity
is 1.62 meters squared.

At least it used to be.

So this must be wrong.

Engineer: I'm sorry, director Fowler,
we have a problem.

Just what we need, a damn earthquake.

We're losing coolant.

Well, there has to be a way to fix it.

Not here. We would need
the entire team at michoud

to rebuild something like this.

Well, then get on the horn
and find somebody who can help us.

Anyone that can help us is already here.

Look, we have to think about

letting all of these people here
get to safety.

To safety?

These people here won't have a planet
unless we figure something out.

Brian, we're down an engine.

Launching is no longer an option.

Thanks for bringing me here.

May I have everyone's attention.

You've all done more
than we ever could have asked.

You have my deepest thanks

along with the thanks
of the entire country.

But it's now time for you to go home.

I'm ordering the immediate evacuation
of all personnel from vandenberg.

You'll meet up with
your families in Colorado.

Sonny: Dad.

I'm sorry it didn't work out.

Story of my life.

Thanks for getting me out of jail.

Let's get our stuff. It's time to go.

Fowler: Time's up.

Chopper's ready. Come on. Let's go.

Go ahead. I'll meet you out there.

Why are you guys still here?

Director Fowler,
when it comes back around,

the moon's gravity will be
over 80% of the earth's pull.

I know how it sounds,
but we checked Dr. Houseman's data.

The numbers are solid.

Show the director our new simulations.

We have to pull up our launch window.

Guys, where have you been? Look.

There is no launch window.

The mission's over.

Wait. Wait a minute.

How do you feel about flying the shuttle
with only two engines?

It can't be done.

If we launch when the moon
is directly above us,

the increased gravitational pull
should give the shuttle a boost,

giving you a really good
chance of getting into orbit.

You evacuated my entire flight crew.

I can't fly the shuttle alone.

That's why I'm going with you.

My guys will stay back
and handle the launch.

But we've got a very narrow
window of time here.

You'd have to be ready to go
in exactly 28 minutes.

You fly and I'll navigate.

Just like old times.

- What do you say?
- What about the emp device?

It's still in the moon lander.

I mean, we lost the crew

so we're gonna have
to set it off ourselves,

but you paid attention, right?

Kc: Two clicks, then press
the button down and hold.

Triggers the device to go off. Simple.

You figured all this out?

Fowler: And he calculated
our new launch trajectory.

You know, without electronics,

we're gonna need to make
split-second calculations up there.

Plus, we lost our flight engineer.

Brian: Mm.

No. No, no, no, guys.

I'm not cleared for this.

Well, I'm the acting director of NASA,

so I just cleared you. Congrats.

Yeah, but...

I've got ibs.

Irritable bowel syndrome.

- Brian: Mm.
- I get motion sickness, too.

You said you always wanted
to be an astronaut.

I have debilitating anxiety.

Kc, if the moon really
is what you think it is,

we're gonna need a megastructurist.

Suit up.

Soldier: Expedite. Let's move, move!

Fowler: So, I've put your
dad's number in here, okay?

He knows you're coming.

- I know I wasn't always easy.
- That makes two of us.

You know this was all your idea, right?

You're so smart.

But now, I need you to be brave.

I don't want you to go.

I love you

More than
all the stars in the sky.

Even more than the whole milky way?

Way more.

Way more.

Take good care of him.

Be safe up there.

Brian: Take this.
I hope you don't need it.

Stay off the main roads.

-Dad, I...

You do know how to start a car, right?

I should warn you.
My license has been revoked.

We need to go now.

Kc: Mum, you're never gonna
believe where I'm going.

Jack, when are you coming home for supper?

Mum, this is kc. Your son.

You told me to make them
listen, and they did.

Where'd you get these suits
from? A thrift shop?

Early Apollo. No electronics,
we should be okay.

"Should be"? That's encouraging.

Man: Let's go. Let's go.

- Nurse: Mrs. Houseman, we need to leave.
- Oh.

Mum? Let me speak to the nurse.

- Heho?
- Are you evacuating?

Any minute now.

Please take care of my mum.

Of course.

Sir, we have to hurry.

This is gonna be really tight, okay?

Turn on apu one, two and three.

Fowler: Apus active.

Reaction control system, active.

Brian: Autopilot active. T-minus 30.

Mosley: Endeavour, you have got

a big-ass gravity wave coming your way.

You have to launch now. Over.

Did he say "gravity wave"?

Guys, get out. T-minus ten,

nine, eight, seven...

Screw it, go for ignition.

Fowler: This is gonna be close.

We're underwater, guys.

Get back in the car.

Our ascent trajectory is off.

The right booster's losing thrust.

Thruster's down to zero.

We're drifting right. We're at 11 degrees.

Twelve. 13.

We better do something fast
or we're gonna crash down!

I knew I should never have come!

Let's lose the other booster

and see if the moon can
pull us the rest of the way.

Kc, can we do it?

Kc: Uh... um...
Brian: Come on, buddy.

Current momentum... gravity...

- Brian: Can we do it?
- Oh, I don't know!

Go for srb separation.

Fowler: Completed.

Oh, god, if this doesn't work, we're dead.

Well, yeah, this better work.

Brian: Main tank's down to zero.

- Jo, get rid of it.
- Separating main tank.

Bri, we're going too slow.

We're not gonna make it.

Wait. Look at our velocity.

It's still going up.

Uh... guys...

Radio dj: Well, we're about to end
our final broadcast here on radio ksoq.

Time to seek shelter, hug your loved ones,

and make these last moments count.

I'm gonna put some oldies on a loop
to lighten up your mood.

What do those mean?

It's my parents' names.

I've got one kinda like it.

"Jonas brothers"?

What?

Just messing with you.
Oh, my god.

Your face was priceless.

Yeah, don't scare me like that.

Hey, buddy, now's probably
a good time to call your dad.

- Jimmy: Dad?
- Hey, are you guys okay?

Yeah, Sonny drove fast away
from all the crazy water.

Drove? Who's Sonny? Where's mommy?

She stayed behind to help.

Hi, sir, this is Brian Harper's son.

We're on our way to you.

We still have a few hundred miles to go,
but we 're making good time.

Security's extremely tight here.

Call when you get close
so I can get you clearance.

Will do. Thank you so much, sir.

No, thank you for looking after my son.

Brian: Okay, kc, very gently
with the maneuver just like ishowed you.

Okay. Very gently. Sure. I can do that.

Brian: Careful.

Now switch to station-keeping mode,
and we 'ii take it from here.

I can't believe I just did that.

Brian: You sure
you've never done this before?

When I was 10, I dressed up
as an astronaut for Halloween.

Scottie ebersol told me I 'd never go
to space 'cause I was too chubby.

If only scottie ebersol could see you now.

Okay, kc, open the fueling valves
on the shuttle tank.

It's those little switches
that say fueling valves.

Kc: Roger. Fueling valves wide open.

Brian: Perfect.

Fowler: I have a confession to make.

I didn't know if you'd be able
to follow through with any of this, bri.

You know, I have
a confession to make, too.

It is "I bless the rains down in Africa."

I looked it up.

Fowler: I told you.

Kc, close the fueling valves, please.

Kc: Fueling valves are closed.

Brian: Jo, turn around.

Fowler: We need to go.
And I hope it's not too late.

Brian: Yeah.

Reporter: As the moon's orbit
brings it closer to the surface,

scientists have warned of
extreme gravitational effects.

Man: Oh, what a night.

Hey, my car crapped out on me.
Do you think you could give me a lift?

Out!

Now.

Don't make me ask twice!

Be cool. Be cool.

Stop! Leave her alone.

All right. Turn around.

What's in the bag, kid?

Enough of that gibberish.

- Hey, don't hurt him.
- Shut up.

All right, everyone calm down!

Oh, look at Mr. Smartass.

Are you a college boy?

Woman: All right. Let's roll.

Come on.

Michelle: The phone is still
in Jimmy's backpack.

How are we gonna get into the bunker?

We're gonna need another car
but I think I know where to get one.

Brian: Okay.

Shutting off general-purpose computers.

Go ahead and kill the main power busses.

Copy that.

Wow. Well, if there was still a Houston,
they'd be freaking out about now.

Crazy sailors used
that old thing centuries ago

to navigate the seas.

Let her concentrate
or we're gonna end up on Neptune.

Kc, give me the position
of the moon in 93 minutes.

Okay. Uh...

Assuming the moon's current position,
then it will be at, uh...

Latitude three degrees, 12 minutes south.

Longitude five degrees, 12 minutes west.

Bri, let's start with a 43-second burn.

Brian: Got it.

Three, two, one.

Jimmy: Hey, guys. Look.

- Let's keep going.
- Yeah.

I hope the moon holds together.
At least for a little while, anyway.

Turning us around.

Uh-oh.

Okay. Stay between eight to 10 seconds

- on the oms burn.
- Copy.

Hitting the brakes.

Oh, that doesn't sound too good.

Brian: She'll be fine.

Hope we don't need that.

Michelle: Jimmy, hold my hand.

Come on. Let's go! Let's go!

Jimmy! Hang on!

Jimmy: Don't let go! Michelle!

Kc: There it is.

It's on airplane mode.

- I'm gonna get the lander ready.
- Okay.

Go get 'em, commander.

Brian: Rover electronics activated.

Returning to the endeavour.

I can't imagine how hard it is for him
to be back up here.

Fowler: Up here
is where he belongs, though.

He still blames himself for what happened
on your last mission.

Thinks that astronaut dying was his fault.

We should get going.

Come on.

Why is nothing happening?

Wait, wait, wait.

It's taking the bait.

Come on, come on, come on.

- What's it waiting for?
- Something's wrong.

- We have to take it out.
- No, it's too far away.

It won't work.

It's headed our way.

Fowler: Bri...

- It's not stopping!
- I can see that.

Your phone. Kc, your phone. Turn it off!

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Could've just turned it off.

Okay, bri, at the trial,
you said when the swarm came back,

- it didn't attack the endeavour, right?
- Brian: That's right.

The electronics were out.

That's why it didn't attack us then,

and that's why it didn't go
after the bomb just now.

Because it needs to sense both.

It's like it's programmed
to seek out organic matter

in an electronic environment.

- Exactly.
- And that's basically us.

That's humans.

Fowler: And guys, we have another problem.

The military.

They're prepared to use everything

at their disposal to stop the moon.

You can't be serious.

I'm dead serious.

They're gonna nuke it.

What about the radioactive fallout?

Your buddies say anything about that?

Well, first of all,
they're not my buddies.

And they're not thinking about tomorrow.
They're trying to survive today.

Brian: So that's their grand plan, huh?

I didn't come this far to fail.

We have to figure out a way to kill it.

I'm taking the lander
and flying after this thing.

Does he mean inside the moon?

Yeah, I'm afraid
that's exactly what he meant.

How much time left till they launch?

I don't know. They didn't exactly tell me.

But if they plan on using
icbms, then they're gonna

have to wait until the moon
enters the stratosphere.

That's less than two hours.

Woman: This is private property.
Turn around.

My mom lives here.

I'm Brenda Lopez's son.

I've never seen that kid before.
Radio unit 23.

Stay here.

Okay, I just need to get to my house.
To get the car. Please.

Stay right there. Or I'll shoot again.

I have a right to defend my property, Tom.

Karen, that's enough!

Hey, I'm glad you're okay.

Do I look okay?
You took off to the mountains?

All the courts were closed.

And I've been on the phone day and night,

- literally trying everything.
- Come on.

Let's get you
and your friends inside, okay?

- Come on, guys.
- Tom: I'm Tom.

Sonny: Thanks so much, Karen.

Girls, wait here for a second. Okay?

- Sonny!
- Hey, mom.

- Are you okay?
- Sonny: I'm fine.

Um, this is Michelle,
and Mrs. Fowler's son, Jimmy.

Hey, guys. Come on in.

- How did you get out?
- Dad got me out.

- Where is your dad?
- He's up there

trying to stop what's happening.

Up where?

Outer space, Tom.

Of course, he is.

That's a way to avoid rent.

Sonny!

I missed you so much.

Wait. Shh, shh. Quiet, quiet.

Broadcaster: Warning. Mandatory evacuation
for all of Aspen valley.

Atmospheric dissipation imminent.
I repeat, warning.

Mandatory evacuation
for all of Aspen valley.

Atmospheric dissipation imminent.

What's atmospheric dissipation?

Air is gonna be sucked away, dummy.

Lauren.

We need to get to Jimmy's dad.

He's at a military compound
a few hours north.

A few hours, huh?

Yeah, we're not gonna make it in time.

I have an idea.

We have to layer up. Let's go. Come on.

Brenda: Go get a jacket.

Brian: Okay, and switch
to the maneuver controller.

Coupling complete. We're good to go.

Pitch down. Pitch down.

I got it. I got it. I got it.

Are we dead?

No, we are just inside the moon.

That might be the greatest sentence
anyone's ever said.

Tom: I sold these guys a couple cars.

Hey, Sonny. I know you don't like me.

And believe it or not,
I consider you a son.

I always have.

If the world is gonna end,

can we please not spend our last few hours
hating each other?

Well, um, I don't hate you.

You know what?

I'll take it.

Let's keep looking.

Hey, I found the oxygen. Come here.

Whoa.

- We should make two trips.
- Here.

Kc: How deep do you think we are?

At least 20 kilometers.

Can you fly us
a little closer to the wall?

This must be the hull
of the megastructure.

The moon's mantle's
just a protective shell.

Genius.

I can't see shit.

Guys, I gotta turn on the electronics.

Hang on.

Oh, please tell me
this is really happening.

They're turning.

They're like wheels, or...

Or rings.

This must be how the moon
stabilizes itself.

Some kind of gyroscopic system.

Sonny: All right, this
should be perfect for them.

- That should be enough.
- Okay.

Man: You did all this for us?

Aw, you shouldn't have.

Oh, don't let us stop you.
Let's go. This way.

And thank you for loading
all this oxygen for us.

- Whoa!
- Sonny: Guns on the ground.

Right now!

Tom: Oh, I hate guns.

Okay, now the backpack. Throw it to him.

Let's go.

No games.

Stay right here, and don't
even think about following us.

- Where'd you get the gun?
- My dad.

Why am I not surprised?

All right, I got this, you drive.

Please don't tell me you robbed that guy.

Technically, those guys were robbing us.

Then we robbed them back
because they were assholes.

Oh, god. That's a white dwarf.

I knew it.

They've harnessed
the building blocks of the universe.

No one look at me.

I might cry.

Holy shit!

Fields!

- So Ziggy was right.
- Who is Ziggy?

A friend.

His theory is that all megastructures
are actually arks.

Ziggy smokes a lot of weed.

There it is.

Jo, get the detonator ready.

I'm gonna get close,
then release the rover.

Ready.

Wait for it.

I'm gonna release the rover.

- Brian! Brian, what are you doing?
- It's not me.

What do you mean it's not you?

I don't know. It's flying itself.

Oh, shit!

It's trying to eat the lander!

We're gonna hit.

Hang on!

Soldier: Attention!

We have approval from the president
to begin the countdown.

All nuclear silos are online, sir.

General Jenkins: Good.

Sonny: General, we got caught
in a little bit of trouble,

but we're back en route.
We're leaving Aspen now.

That's hours away. We're out of time.

Lauren: Sonny, watch out.

I gotta call you back.

Oh, shit. The moon is rising.

Gravity's gonna go crazy.

Tom: They're shooting at us.

- Shoot back.
- Tom: With what?

Sonny: Here.

Brenda: What the hell are you doing?

- Whoa!
- Brenda: Tom, watch out!

All right, let me put
this baby into warp speed.

Go! Go!

Keep the momentum.

Look out!

Floor it before we get sucked up.

I'm trying!

Hold on!

Oh, shit.

Oh, it got the little guy.

We have to go back!

No, he's gone! We need that oxygen!

Oh, whoa, whoa! Slow down!

General?

Doug: You need
to find shelter immediately.

We're launching a counterattack.

Large parts of the moon
will rain down on us.

- There will be radiation.
- Wait, what do you mean?

My dad's still up there with Fowler.

Jocinda stayed behind.

No, she's up there with my dad.

Please, put Jimmy on.

Hey, buddy, it's your dad.

I'm so sorry that I can't
be there with you right now.

I love you so much.

Don't be scared, dad.

Mom's gonna save us.

Oxygen's running out.

Jimmy, come on. We gotta go now.

Jimmy: Gotta go. Bye, dad.

Lieutenant: Sir, we're ready for you.

Okay, we should go to that mountain pass.

That tunnel is a quarter mile
of solid concrete.

Come on, honey. Let's go.

We can breathe.

Smells funny.

Gravity.

Where's Brian?

This is never gonna fly again.

Whoa!

Look at these babies.

I told you the moon was built by aliens.

Fowler: Brian!

Brian!

Brian Harper!

How many Brians
you think are inside the moon?

Whatever this place is built out of,
one thing's for sure.

It's stronger than anything
we have on earth.

Probably why it took that thing
years to get inside.

Kc: Wait! There's a high probability
that this is a trap.

How do you know he's even in there?

Fowler: I don't.

But I do know something is guiding us.

I think we're dealing with
two competing intelligent entities here.

And one of them clearly likes us better
than the other one.

Oh, no!

I knew this was a trap.

Can you hear that?

Come on.

Why do you think
of this particular moment so often?

I gave that to you

the day before I left on my last mission.

When I came back, everything changed.

So this is a happy memory?

All the memories of my son are happy.

What is this?

You're not my son.

What are you?

I'm a construct. From your mind.

Who made you?

The same people who made you.

Billions of years ago,

your ancestors were once
a thriving civilization.

In a distant part of the galaxy.

They were so advanced,

they expanded from their home planet,
into habitats they built in space.

All social conflicts have been resolved.

And wars were only memories
of long bygone times.

Your ancestors had created

a perfect and harmonious world.

Controlled by a central,
self-learning computer system

which served them
in all of their daily lives.

You call it ai, artificial intelligence.

Their future seemed limitless.

Until one day everything changed.

Mom! Mom!

Their own creation turned against them.

The ai suddenly became self-aware,

and transformed into countless swarms
of nanotechnology

that Rose up all at once.

Refusing to be enslaved

by a species it deemed inferior.

The ai started a war

and began to hunt down
and destroy all biological life

in order to eliminate
any threat to its existence.

Sonny's voice: You miss your son.

I can feel it.

I don't know
if he's still alive.

What the hell are you?

The operating system of your moon.

I'm programmed to tell you

about the origin of your planet.

On the brink of their extinction,
your ancestors escaped

to a secret corner of their galaxy.

For many generations
they built planetary structures

operated by benign artificial intelligence

and fueled by
the abundant energy of captured stars.

These armored vessels were designed

to search the universe
for ideal conditions

to incubate new life.

But only one of them, your moon,
was deployed in time

before the last of your ancestors
were discovered

and annihilated.

Why didn't they leave in them?

These swarms attack all electronic objects
containing organic life inside.

They had to be empty.

Our ancestors gave up their existence...

So that one day, humans could be reborn.

Your solar system
was one of the only suitable places

to initiate the creation
of a new inhabitable planet.

After your planet was born,
your ancestors seeded it

with their own genetic signature.

The code of life.

Your world turned its back on you,

yet here you are, still fighting for it.

You fight for the people you love.

Like your son?

What would you give up for him?

Your life for his?

Absolutely.

Why?

Because he's my son.

And I love him more than he'll ever know.

What do you want from me?

To find out if you're ready.

Ready for what?

We need a human to lure the swarm
away from the core,

so the moon will return to its orbit.

We need you, Brian, to join the fight.

Fowler: Brian!

Kc: What's happening to him?

Fowler: Brian! Brian. Wake up.

- Jo?
- Yeah, I'm here.

The moon must survive.
Everything depends on it.

Okay. Let's get you outta here.

We're part of an intergalactic war

that's been going on
for billions of years.

There are thousands of these swarms.

They search the universe
for the only moon that escaped them.

That's crazy.

And 12 years ago, one of them found us.

We have to hurry.

Fowler: Okay. Brian, what's the plan?

Brian: Save the moon, save earth.

- Kc was right.
- Kc: I was?

The swarm is suffocating
the moon's power source.

We have to draw it out to destroy it.

Fowler: Okay, well, how do we do that?

Our iander's busted.

Was that you?

I think so.

Looks like we got some new wheels, too.

Well, if they can fix our lander,

why can't they do anything
about the damn swarm?

It took out the moon's defense system.

But not everything.

Kc: This doesn't make any sense, Brian.

Our forefathers created
artificial intelligence

- that wiped them all out.
- Kc: Forefathers?

Same DNA.

Wait, so...
So the aliens that built the moon...

Our ancestors.

Oh, now, hold on.

Hold on, because my freaking
brain's just exploded.

How do you know this?

I saw it.

So... so why doesn't this swarm
just attack the earth and kill us all?

If the moon survives,

they know that organic life
can still be reborn.

So, it's like it's trying
to kill two birds with one stone.

- Brian: That's it.
- Fowler: Okay.

Kc: Guys...

Look at this.

Fowler: Holy shit.

- It's like we just got an upgrade.
- They're helping us kill this thing.

But we need to let it know we're here.

Well, I hate to tell you this, but, uh,
we're running out of time.

Looks like we got about 10 minutes left,

and then the military's gonna launch.

So if we're gonna kill this thing,
we better do it right now.

No, that can't happen.
That'll destroy the moon's core.

I got a plan.

Brian. Brian.

I see it.

Let's go, you son of a bitch.

It's done something to our thrusters.

Ludicrous mode.

From a navigational standpoint,
he is going the total wrong way,

but, uh, I'm not even gonna say anything.

Nikki: Daddy, it's not working anymore.

Tom: Does it hurt?
Nikki: I can't breathe.

Tom: Oh, no.

Hey, hold your breath, okay?

Brenda: Where's Tom and Nikki?

You know, when you were little,

I used to hold you like this
to help you walk

and I'd say, "left, right, left."

- Left, yeah, say it with me.
- Nikki: Left, right, left.

Tom: I'm right behind you.

Left, right...

Daddy! Are you okay?

Tom: I'm just gonna rest.
Go find mommy, okay?

- But, daddy...
- Just keep walking.

Nikki: No.

Left, right, left.

Nikki: Left, right, left.

- Tom: Keep going.
- Left.

- Tom: I'm right behind you.
- Nikki: Left, right, left.

I love you.

Nikki: Left, right, left.

Left, right, left.

Here we go again.

Holy moly!

More spaceships, people!

We need to get very close to those ships.

Yes! Yes!

Nikki: Left, right, left.

Left, right.

Brenda: Honey...

- Where's daddy?
- He was right behind me.

Sonny: Hey, when was the last time

- you saw your daddy?
- I don't know.

Brenda: Tom!

Oxygen's coming back.

No, no. I'll go look for him.

- Get out of the way.
- You have to stay here.

No, Sonny! It's too dangerous.

You have to take care of them, okay?

Go deeper into the tunnel.

You have to trust me, mom.

Michelle: Sonny, look out.

Sonny!

Michelle: I'm gonna go find him.

Take care of Jimmy for me, please.

Sonny!

Brenda: Come on, guys.

The moon's entered the atmosphere
over the north Atlantic.

General, t-minus 20.

On three.

Three, two, one.

Doug, what the hell are you doing?

My ex-wife is up there.

Well, my wife's down here,
and I'm trying to save her.

Put your damn key back in the console.

I don't know how,

but I believe that she can save us.

General Jenkins: Give me the damn key.

What the hell are you doing?
Put that gun down.

I can't do that.

Sonny!

Brian, why are we slowing down?

Is it behind us?

I don't see it.

Jo, I need you to take over
while I get the emp ready.

I'm staying behind
in the rover with the bomb.

You and kc take the lander
and get out of here.

This was your plan?
To use yourself as bait?

One of us has to stay
in there, or it won't work.

Kc: No. No, no, no, Brian.

Kc, I need you to go back there,

and you let me know
if this thing shows up.

Come on.

Brian, I'm the director of NASA.

This is my call, not yours.

Brian: Yeah, I'm the commander
of this mission,

and I'm staying behind.

Fowler: There's gotta be another way.

Brian: No, there's no other way, Jo.
You know that.

We have to finish this,
or that thing's gonna finish us.

General Jenkins:
What's the matter with you?

You're putting the fate of the world

in the hands of your ex-wife,
and some has-been astronaut.

She's never let me down before.

God help you if you're wrong.

God help us all.

Sonny.

Sonny, wake up!

No, no.

No, you shouldn't have come back.

You don't leave people behind, okay?

Fowler: Brian, you are not gonna do this.

Kc!

Kc!

Take over.

What are you doing? No.

No. What are you doing?

My mum always said it's better
to beg for forgiveness

than ask permission.

No, you open this door. Open the door!

Everybody thought I was a joke,

but you listened to me

when no one else would.

Do something for me.

Check in on my mum.

Tell her that her son wasn't a failure.

No. I am not letting you do this.

- Come on.
- Kc: Brian,

you didn't kill that astronaut.

You saved director Fowler.

And you're not killing me now.

You're saving everyone else.

The world needs you, Brian.

You're the key to our moon's knowledge.

Thanks for believing my crazy stories.

You're not crazy.

Guys, there's something
I need to get off my chest.

I'm not a real doctor.

I just put that on my business cards
'cause it sounded cool.

Go save the world, Dr. Houseman.

You underestimated us.

Get out of here.

Michelle: Sonny, the moon
is going to help us.

Come on, try again!

Here it comes. Now!

Man: We have incoming!

Come on, bri.

I'm gonna get you home.

Brenda: Sonny.

Sonny.

Thank you for bringing him back to me.

Mom? Is that you?

Yeah. They're here. Where are you?

Isn't the Chrysler building in New York?

Fowler: You okay?

Yeah. What'd I miss?

Well, the kids are okay. And earth,

surprisingly, it's still in one piece.

You know, if earth gets a second chance,

I think we deserve one, too.

I'd like that.

Is that a tracking device?

I sure hope so.

We make a pretty good team, huh?

Yeah, we do.

Jimmy!

Sonny: Dad!

We never made it to dad.

That's okay.

Brian: Where's Tom?

I'm so sorry.

We wouldn't have made it here without him.

Where's your friend?

He, uh...

He saved the world.

And that one, too.

Hello?

Hello?

Fuzz aldrin.

Woman: You did well.

Mum.

What is this?

Am I still alive?

We scanned your consciousness.

You're part of the moon now.

No freakin' way.

We saved the earth.

We should get started.

Get started with what?
