Previously on pioneer one.

Aleksei? He's here?

So you do know him?

The capsule was
sending its telemetry there.

The Russians have requested the return of
their man and we intend to turn him over.

Unacceptable.

Mcclellan doesn't want that to
happen. He's ending the quarantine early.

He's dying. What does it matter now?

I want to stay with you.

I think you're gonna have
to decide what you believe.

Tomorrow morning, we're
going to hold a press conference,

we're going to lay out everything we know
and let the world decide for themselves.

Tomorrow everything changes.

Good after...

Good afternoon. Thank you for waiting

but I'm sure you all
understand why it was necessary

in light of the incident this morning.

My name is Thomas j. Taylor, and I'm the
director of the Helena Montana field office

for United States homeland security.

For the last two weeks I have been
tasked with investigating the circumstances

surrounding the satellite
that crashed in Edmonton.

Through the course of our
investigation, it has become clear

that this was no ordinary satellite,
nor was its crash an accident.

It was.

It was a piece of space hardware left
over from the Soviet space program.

It had been... commandeered

by a terrorist organization

whose identity and motives I am
not at Liberty to disclose at this time.

The secrecy and deliberate
misinformation surrounding these events

were errors in judgment on my part
and have caused unnecessary confusion

and panic for both the
American and Canadian people.

For that I apologize.

Further

improper supervision and
inadequate security measures

allowed the suspect to take
their own life earlier this morning.

I alone take full responsibility.

I have failed to live up to the level
of performance and responsibility

with which I have been charged...

In light of my conduct...

I can no longer in good
conscious continue my duties,

and I am resigning from my
position as director of the Helena office

effective immediately.

Pioneer one 1x06.

What happened?

He's gone!

They took the boy.

The explosion was a diversion
to divert us from the main target.

- Who took him?
- From the way they fought hand to hand

- I'd say they were Russian.
- I thought you said you had

the perimeter secured.

A fight broke out in the group of
protesters about the same time,

it drew my men away.

Was anyone hurt?

The president's called a
meeting of the security council.

Well you tell him to wake his ass up
and get him on the phone, you hear me?

Calgary's gone dark.

Anything from the Russian embassy?

Russians?

This wasn't some nut who a bomb
strapped to his chest. This was surgical.

Air traffic control in Alaska reported
that a 747 broadcasting a civilian code

veered off its flight
path at 02:30 hours...

Oh for god's sake,

so at 2:30 this morning
failing to respond by radio

before crossing the Canadian border.

Why am I hearing about this
for the first time now? Huh?

Things are getting missed!

Oh, dammit!

- Did you get any on you?
- When I say now I mean ten minutes ago.

The civilians are in lockdown.

What? - Everyone,

your attention. This has just
been made a Canadian operation.

Have the Canadians
grounded their air traffic yet?

I think the prime minister
just gave the order.

You think? - Line one.

Yes, sir.

You do realize we have about a hundred
reporters about to descend on this place.

I know. - What do you want to do?

Vernon can stall. - Shouldn't we cancel?

We can't just tell them to
forget about it and go home.

I think the circumstances
have changed, don't you?

We have something.

It's identified as korean
airlines flight seven.

Headed toward Alaskan airspace, yes sir.

Korean airlines? - Yes, sir.

What the hell is going on here?

Flight 00-7.

No response to calls
from air traffic control.

The guys we're looking for
got out on a chopper you said.

They did.

This is a diversion.

It's a mess up there. They won't get all
their planes on the ground for another hour

and that's optimistic.

One voice at a time, please.

Can you hold, please?

They're saying Canadian
fighters are scrambling now.

- Before they cross into Alaska?
- The plane's still refusing to heed to.

We have cf-18s moving in to intercept.

And what then?

They're going to fire a warning shot.

No response. - Is there

any other way to force
it to land besides...

They're going to have to shoot it down.

If the Canadians don't down that plane...

They're crossing into American airspace.

- Sir, I don't we have any choice now.
- How many people fit on a 747?

The target is over Alaska.

Our fighters are moving off. - Why?

They don't have authorization
to enter American airspace.

Your f-18s are moving in to intercept.

They'll be in firing range any moment now.

Korean air flight seven?

Yes, sir.

That doesn't sound right.

Mr. President: Shoot down that plane.

First responders are
moving in on the ground.

Thank you.

Jesus...

I thought you said the
civilians were in lockdown.

They are.

How do you suppose the Russians
knew what they were looking for?

- Your guess is as good as mine.
- Yeah? I've got a pretty good one.

- I just heard. What happened?
- Chertov. Where is he?

How should I know? - Tom!

Get. Your. Hands. Off me!

The girl's dead.

What? - Jane, Yuri's nurse

she's dead.

She was with Yuri when they took him.

Shot her in the head.

They were Russian.

How do you suppose they
knew where to find him? Huh?

You think aleksei...? - You tell me!

Do you know where he is, doctor?

I haven't seen him since
last night. But I don't think...

I don't care what you think.
Get him out of here, now!

Find the Russian scientist and lock him up.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Can someone get me a glass of water?

It was the only option, sir.

I don't need coddling.

The security council is meeting.

We're going back to DC?

I'm going to calgary to
clean this up personally.

You'll go back and act
on my behalf at the nsc.

I'm not getting shut out from this.

Are they going to be okay
with you sending a subordinate?

If there's a problem you can tell
them they can shoot down my plane.

And keep trying the Russian embassy.

Get somebody in a room.

How much leeway do I have?

Put the screws to them.

How are your men?

Shrapnel injuries and smoke
inhalation, but they'll be fine.

What about the capsule?

There's nothing left.

And chertov?

And no sign of the two
bodies I left on the deck.

They must have been
extracted before they got out.

Very tidy.

These guys were in and out in less than
ten minutes. These were professionals.

She was my responsibility too.

Is there anything I should be doing, sir?

No, you're fine.

There is still no word on
any survivors from the 747

shot down early this morning
by American f-18 jet fighters.

Can you tell us if there's any link between
the 747 and the bombing this morning?

Firstly, firstly, we're not
referring to this as a bombing.

This country has now been the victim of not
one, but possibly three terror attacks...

The president's campaign for reelection
may not recover from today's events.

At this time it's not clear that the
explosion this morning was a terror attack.

But we can agree that
something did explode.

Though I understand there
will be more clarification on that

at the press conference now
scheduled for this afternoon in calgary.

For now I'm setting
them up in the mess hall.

Good, all in one place, you can
lock the doors and set the room on fire.

- Not funny.
- It's a gallows humor kind of day.

Just promise me he won't dodge this one,
my credibility is already shot to hell...

I'm not promising anyone anything.

You want a bone to throw? How's this?

Mr. Secretary, I'm agent Sofie Larson...

Sit down, I'm going to be
doing most of the talking.

I'd prefer to stand if it's all the same.

Fine, whatever.

I almost killed a lot of people today.

The kid wasn't on that plane.

Nobody was on that plane.

It's still a mess out there, but
so far, no human remains or

luggage.

It was a decoy. - Obviously.

But it was the flight number.

Korean airlines flight seven.

September 1, 1983.

I suppose you're too young to remember.

A 747...

On its way from New York to Seoul
accidentally strayed into Soviet airspace,

and was shot down by Russian migs.

No survivors.

Sixty-two Americans on that plane.

That was korean airlines

flight seven.

Somebody's idea of a joke, evidently.

So...

You've managed to lose your suspect,
allowed all the evidence to be destroyed,

and now we have three separate
acts of terrorism to explain to the public.

What are the Russians saying?

Nothing. The guys that came
in here were mercenaries.

The Russian government doesn't
know or they outsourced the job

either way, they've got
deniability that's plausible enough.

There's only one choice then.

Which is?

Go to the public with what we have.

And what is that we have?

The truth.

What truth?

That you were holding a
Soviet love child from Mars?

Do you actually believe that?

With all due respect, it's not up to
you or to me to decide what the truth is.

You're god damn right it isn't.

You know what really gets me though?

I bet you think you're
the good guy in this.

You failed in your duty spectacularly.

Every step of the way
you have been combative,

irresponsible, and less-than-honest.

Now you've got a dead civilian
on that conscious of yours.

You think you were doing
the right thing? For what?

An orphan from outer space?

And where's he now? Huh?

You screwed this up

you screwed me,

and you screwed your
country. That's on you.

But right now

we have a problem here,

and I need your help fixing it.

How?

I saw a bunch of reporters downstairs.

You're going to get in front
of them and do a mea culpa.

You're going to say that your
mismanagement and lack of judgment

allowed a terrorist suspect to blow
himself up in one final Blaze of glory.

You're going to apologize to the
American and Canadian people

for putting their lives in danger.

And then you're going
to resign your position

pending further charges.

The precise language is
up to you, but that's the gist.

And if I refuse?

Then I will see to it that the full
force of the United States government

comes crashing down on your head.

You... and everyone who works for you.

You didn't answer me before.

Do you really think that kid's from Mars?

I do.

Well

good luck proving that now.

Your second, what's her name again?

Agent Larson.

Larson

she's good.

You're saying you had no knowledge of this.

That is what I have said.

Say it again.

I will not be spoken to in such a manner.

Understand, sir. What we're talking about
here would be considered an act of war.

I know exactly what you are talking about.

The position of the Russian
government has not changed.

What reason would we
have to invade your territory?

To get back your man.

What man?

You tell us you are holding no one.

Has your position changed?

Now you listen to me.

We know this was a Russian operation
and we're prepared to respond accordingly.

There was no official action taken by
my government. Believe what you like.

Have you ever heard the name
white wolf, Mr. Ambassador?

White wolf?

Private security company, I believe.

We have reason to believe that white wolf
may have been involved in these events.

Now, if you are willing to
acknowledge that possibility

we may have some room to maneuver.

We cannot be held responsible,

for the activities of a private
organization, Russian or no.

As you should very well know, mister...?

Collins.

Very convenient.

Outsourcing your government's dirty work
to wealthy oligarchs like Viktor klimenko.

Viktor klimenko is a fool
with too much money.

He's product of American style capitalism.

People like him are running your country.

Ridiculous.

We're willing to consider, for the moment

that your government
had no knowledge of this.

But if there's an organization
operating within your borders

that perpetrated an act of terror on
this country then it must be dealt with.

If you are unwilling

or unable to do so, then we
will be forced to take action.

I was not aware that you have authority

to speak for your country on
matters of international diplomacy.

You should not concern
yourself with such things.

Mr. Ambassador

when someone in your
country threatens my country

it is my concern.

Whatever has begun here

first stone was thrown by you.

Hi folks, sorry to keep you waiting,
we will be getting started shortly

in about 30 minutes.

So, about 4 PM.

4 PM mountain time.

- I've given this a lot of thought.
- Jesus, Tom!

Sorry.

What have you given a lot of thought?

I don't think we should do a sitcom. I was

thinking a variety
show. I could tell jokes

you could sing. We can get Vernon
to do that stupid dance that he does.

Yeah, except your jokes aren't that funny.

Really? Mcclellan seems to think so.

What'd he say?

About what you'd expect.

What you're going to do?

It's not really a choice.

There's always a choice.

Not this time.

I just wanted to...

You're not trying to ask
me out right now, are you?

You were right.

I should have listened, that girl
probably wouldn't be dead if I had.

No, she wouldn't.

Is that what you wanted to say?

I want to try to explain why I made...

Tom...

You've got people
waiting for you out there.

I'll see out there.

See you out there.

At which time you took it upon yourself to

bring in a civilian expert

one... Zachary Walzer
in to consult for you?

Yes, that's correct. - Excuse me, madam.

Zachary Walzer... a Mars expert.

Correct.

And why did you do this?

At the time I thought it prudent
to pursue every line of inquiry,

including exploring the
validity of the Mars story.

And you stand by that action?

I do.

And you maintain that you acted properly
in delaying the transfer of the suspect?

I do, yes.

What motivated you to do that?

I felt that turning him
over as a terror suspect

would prevent us from fully investigating

his claims before he
succumbed to his injuries.

So you took it upon yourself

to continue the investigation in the field?

Yes.

A precedent set by the
extra-terrestrial exposure act of 1969.

Did it occur to you that your actions
may provoke an international incident?

The suspect's frail bones

suggested development in
a low gravity environment...

The capsule contained
fossilized evidence of primitive life.

At some point in the 1980s the Soviet
union launched a manned mission to Mars.

A mission that they didn't
announce to the public.

Yuri

as we came to call him, was the child
of two cosmonauts sent on that mission.

And where are these cosmonauts now?

Still on Mars I assume?

I can't say for certain.

Of course you can't.

I think we've heard enough.

Mr. Taylor

as you well know, your actions

indirectly caused in the
death of a Canadian citizen.

A civilian.

Yes. - Knowing what you know now

do you regret any of the
decisions that you made?

Everything I did

I did because I thought it was
the right thing to do at the time.

And I would do it all again,
even knowing the consequences.

Thank you Mr. Taylor.

This committee is now
ready to render judgment.

It's clear to me

that you made some very
serious lapses in judgment

during your handling of the calgary affair.

But it is the opinion of this committee

that those mistakes were not crimes.

Since you have already
resigned your position,

no further action against you is necessary.

That concludes

these proceedings.

Do you have any idea how
many favors I had to call in

to keep you out of the stockade?

You're buying breakfast.

Miss?

Could you get me me
a knife that cuts please?

Thank you.

I asked Susan to marry me.

Don't see a ring.

You noticed that, huh?

Was that

before or after calgary?

During.

That's why you broke the quarantine?

That was stupid.

I'm in no position to argue.

Sounds like the act of a desperate man.

Maybe.

All I can say is that at the time it
seemed the most ordinary thing I could do.

- I can't really explain better than that.
- Well, maybe

what you saw up there
got you to thinking that

impossible might just be possible.

I saw something bigger than me.

Something bigger than this.

All this.

I think I saw a kid that grew up on Mars.

You realize that

that sounds crazy

to most normal people?

I do.

But you believe it.

I believe in a possibility, and
that's why I had to do something.

I was the only one that
could protect that kid.

I needed to know for certain.

Sounds like something Sam

would have done.

He was smarter than me, you know?

I remember

one time he said to me...

"Frank", he said

"do you know what we're fighting here?"

"The communists", I said.

"No", he said.

"It's bigger than that."

"We're fighting despair."

I have no idea what that means.

Me neither.

I think he would have been proud of you.

I'm gonna go out on a limb.

You asking what's-her-name to marry you

sorry about that, by the way, but,

but I don't know if that's
what you really wanted.

You wanted something to make sense

because you were confronted
by something that didn't.

Which is part of the reason why
you were the perfect man for this job.

You... you had to think
possibilities that the others won't.

And that, that's what makes you important.

That's what makes you worth saving.

Even if sometimes it leads you to
make stupid-ass mistakes now and again.

If you say so...

Give yourself some credit.

Your instincts weren't all wrong.

The whole idea that the Soviets
stranded some people on Mars...

It isn't entirely impossible, you know.

It has

just the right ring of
desperation to be true.

I took the opportunity to

poke around.

I flexed my

considerable muscle in
certain intelligence circles

to see if there was anything to find.

And?

Almost nothing.

A name...

Why?

You got beat up over this but
that doesn't mean you were wrong.

But you've made an enemy
out of mcclellan. That's not good.

He's a player.

The country needs people like mcclellan.

But it also needs people like you.

You've stumbled on to something here,
and if you see the whole way through it,

it might just be the most
important thing you'll ever do.

So...

You want what I got?

How are ya adlai.

What are you doing here, sir?

You can drop the sir. I'm
not your boss anymore.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

I need to talk to him.

I don't think he has any desire to see you.

It's important.

I'm sure it is, but I don't
want to be the one to tell...

You have something you wanna say to me?

Than say it.

You put her in that situation.

I know.

She trusted you.

We all trusted you.

You want to make sure
she didn't die for nothing?

Then help me.

Where is he?

Laika!

Doctor.

I have nothing to say to you.

I think you'll want to
hear what I have to say.

Can I come in?

You like whiskey?

I spoke with a colleague of mine
at Cornell a couple months ago.

He said

he'd check for high levels of deuterium

in the person's blood.

It'd tell you if they'd
been drinking the water.

Never occurred to me.

If we'd checked Yuri's blood we would
have found what we were looking for.

Was that her?

Who?

Oh...

Yeah, that's her.

What'd she think of your work?

She was fine with it.

Until she wasn't.

She said I was obsessed.

People like us don't get to have wives.

People like us?

People like us can't be happy unless we
feel like we're doing something important.

Something that matters.

Or maybe it's just an excuse

to avoid confronting your real problems,

ever think about that?

What are you actually doing here?

I told your people everything
I know during the debriefing.

They're not my people anymore.

Tough break.

You ever hear from your Russian friend?

No.

I've lost a lot of sleep over that one.

You were just doing what you
thought was right at the time.

But it doesn't excuse it.

There's a lot we don't know about that day.

What if I told you I might
know how to find Yuri?

I sincerely doubt they were able
to get him out of that base alive.

You sure about that?

You have something?

A name.

Who?

Someone from the Ukraine. Someone who may
have been involved with the Soviet mission.

Come with me.

To the Ukraine?

Are you insane?

That's the prevailing opinion these days.

- Taylor...
- We've had our difficulties, but...

I can't do this without your help.

I need your knowledge.

And frankly, you're the only one
who knows what's at stake here.

And the only idiot dumb
enough to actually go with you?

You're serious.

What do you think this
guy knows? Is he for real?

Let's find out.

When I first saw that kid

when I saw this evidence

that people

had already been to Mars...

I felt

depressed...

Strange, right?

You'd think I'd be elated.

I thought I'd be.

I figured it was just a matter of time

that it just hadn't sunken in yet. But...

I always thought

that when we went to Mars

we'd go together

in peace.

That it was a place we'd go
with the noblest of intentions

a bold new start for humanity...

But this

this was all so messy and

awful.

I realized that it was foolish to think

that we could do

anything

without bringing our baggage along.

And I was sad about that.

I wondered,

for the first time

would I even want to go?

Would you?

Of course.

Then come with me.

I can't, I have things...

I have... - Baggage?

You really think we can find him?

I don't know,

but I have to try.

Okay.

But there's a condition.

Don't ever

lay a hand on me

again.

I must be out of my mind.

There are events that
are pivot points in history.

There are moments when
we have to make hard choices.

Those choices have consequences.

And some moments

change the world.

This was one of those moments.
