All language subtitles for TIMELESS - S01 E08 - Space Race (720p AMZN WebRip)

Previously on Timeless...

Flynn outsmarting our
security so easily...

Makes a lot more sense if
he had inside assistance.

From Anthony? He doesn't need
us questioning his loyalty.

He needs us to save him.

You're helping Garcia Flynn?

Stop trying to interfere.

What are you trying to do?

What does this have to do
with Rittenhouse? Tell me!

Sequence, and we're coming on.

Okay, I'm still on blue.

So, we may tend to lose
as we gradually take over.

Let me try auto again.
I'll see what happens.

Roger.

Everything is going just
swimmingly, beautiful.

Okay, all flight controllers, go.
No-go for landing. Retro?

FIDO? Go.

Control? Telecom? Go.

- Surgeon? Guidance?
- Go.

Error code 1202.

What's a 1202?

Looking. Are we a go or a no-go?

It could be a malfunction.

Same alarm, and it appears to
come up when we have a 1668 up.

Go or no-go?

Go. If it doesn't
recur, we're go.

We'll monitor his
Delta-H Flight.

Okay,
it looks like it's holding.

CAPCOM, we are go for landing.
Eagle, this is Houston.

We are go for lunar landing.

We're go. Same time. We're go.

Altitude, velocity, light.

3 1/2 down. 220 feet.

Low-level warning! Rog.

Thirty seconds of fuel left.

They're still 100 feet up.

Lights on.

Are they gonna have
enough fuel to land?

Looking good. Down a half.

Six forward.

Twenty seconds of fuel left.
Still 30 feet up.

Picking up some dust.

Twenty feet.

Drifting to the right a little.

Contact light.
Okay, engine stop.

Houston, Tranquility Base here.

The Eagle has landed.

Roger, Tranquility.
We copy you on the ground.

Okay, settle down now,
let's get on with it.

We got some work to do.

Whoo!

Not too many people realize
how close it came to disaster.

But we got 'em there,
and we got 'em back.

You can use this photo for your
book, if you'd like.

What was security like at NASA
on the day of the moon landing?

I can only imagine
stricter than usual.

Oh, sure. Threat of Commie spies,
I mean, that was really a big deal.

They gave everyone in my
department new ID Badges.

With a special magnetic
strip, first of its kind.

You wouldn't happen to still
have that badge, would you?

I wish I did.
I could make a fortune with it on eBay.

We wish you did, too.

Hmm.

Lovely home. Ah, thanks.

How long have you lived
here, Mr. Ellis?

Oh, my whole life.
I grew up here, retired here.

And I plan to die here.

Ready?

The day after that,
38-year-old Neil Armstrong

will begin to step down

the nine steps of the
lunar landing module

to the surface of the moon,

just before 2:00
Eastern Daylight Time

tomorrow afternoon,
but that could

be changed, of
course, later on...

What a moment that will be.

We should get a black-and-white
television picture of those...

Greetings. We come in peace.

Are you Mr. Wayne Ellis?

Yeah...

Hi, a pipe burst in the house.

How fast can you get here?

It's called punched tape,
old-school way to store data.

This one's basically a password.

I need it to access the system.

And this punched tape
is at Lockman Aerospace?

That's right.

And so is she.

All right, before I suffocate
myself in polyester again,

are we sure Flynn
is headed to NASA?

Man lands on the moon today.

And NASA is the only thing
going on in Houston, believe me.

It's the only thing
going on in the world.

Rufus,
if Flynn's trying to screw

the moon landing,
how would he do it?

He'd use Anthony,
that's how he'd do it.

Huh?

Um...

The problem is,
there's about a dozen

ways to scuttle it
from the ground.

So what do you think
Flynn's gonna do?

He's gonna knock over a radio tower?
Shoot the place up?

Yes. No.

I don't know.

What? Great, going in blind.
Love it.

All right. When we get there, split up.
We gotta find Flynn.

Badges should get you
into Mission Control.

FBI.

I just feel like I'd be able
to cover a lot more ground

if I weren't a secretary
in the typing pool.

She says to the guy who's only
possible cover is janitor.

Touche.

You wanna fit in to NASA 1969,

that's the best I got for you.
Now get dressed and get going.

And these suits they wear...

You called about a busted pipe?
Come on in.

Got here as fast as I could.

Pardon me, miss?

Just one more moment.

Hello.

Um, sorry,
what can I do for you?

I'm looking for the Computer
Technology Department.

Burst pipe.

Ah, they're down the
hall and to the left.

Maria.

Get this over to Peterson
at Mission Control, ASAP.

Yes, sir. Right away.

Tough boss? Oh, no.
No, not usually.

Just today he's a little on
edge, as we all are.

You know we helped
build the lunar module?

You don't say.

Is there anything else
I can help you with?

No. You've been a
big help already.

I like your sketch there very much.
Very talented.

Oh, thank you.

We are now coming up on
30 seconds to acquisition

of the command module. Hey.

We'll stand by for...

The command module.

Gene.

Wayne Ellis isn't here.

What do you mean Wayne Ellis isn't here?
Where the hell is he?

It's not like him to miss work.
Especially today.

Something must be wrong.

Well, something's gonna be
wrong if you don't find me

another Guidance Officer. Now.

Haven't seen Flynn yet.
Lucy hasn't either.

You?

Hello, you conscious? I'm sorry.

I mean, look around.

That's Charles Duke right
there, he's an astronaut.

And that's Gene Kranz,
Flight Director.

With the flat top and
the ugly-ass white vest.

Wears one every mission.
For good luck.

This moon landing means
something to you, huh?

Oh, means everything.

It's like all of my
heroes in one room,

on every Christmas
and July 4th combined.

It is pretty amazing.

No. It's terrible.

What if Anthony and
Flynn ruin this?

Today, of all days?

Let's find him first.

I'll check Flight Ops.

Come on, come on.

Hey. You need some help?

Oh, no. Just trying to
get my card to work.

You gotta have the right kind
of clearance to get in there.

Um, yes, I'm supposed to
have all access, so...

Just like you do.

Sweetheart, grab me a cup of
coffee when you get a chance.

I'll be in 241.
Lots of cream, lots of sugar.

But I don't...

Hey, Bill, a question.

Have a good one.

Okay, all flight controllers,
go, no-go for landing. Retro?

FIDO. Go.

Control. Telecom. Go.

Surgeon. Guidance. Go.

Eagle, this is Houston.
We are go for lunar landing.

We're go. Same time. We're go.

Low-level warning. Rog.

Thirty seconds of fuel left.

Still 100 feet up.

Are they gonna have
enough fuel to land?

That is looking good.
Down a half.

Forward.
20 seconds of fuel left.

Rufus. Surprised to see me.

After you leave us
for dead in 1754.

I'm sorry, that was Flynn.
I really don't care.

'Cause that doesn't even
touch what you're doing here.

With what today means to
you, to both of us.

It's not me. It is you!

You are the same as Flynn
if you don't help me.

Contact light.

I'm sorry. It's already done.

Tranquility Base here.
The Eagle has...

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Comm. Systems are down.

What the hell is going
on with the computers?

Computers are down, all comms are
down, whole system is down.

Well, try another
damn frequency then.

Bounce the signal off our
tracking station in Australia.

There has to be some way
to get these comms back up.

Any luck?

Middle-aged white nerds
are swarming the place.

Bruhl could be anywhere.

No Flynn either.

How bad is all this?

Well, Armstrong and
Aldrin are basically

trapped on the lunar surface.

There's no way they're
gonna be able to take off

without help from
Mission Control.

If no one is there to fix
it, they

run out of oxygen
and die up there.

They've got six hours, maybe.

This is about more
than the moon landing.

The Space Race was much
closer than most people think.

The Russians have an unmanned probe
orbiting the moon as we speak.

But after Apollo 11,
the Russians basically throw in the towel.

They start to abandon
their missile program,

they sign the Anti-Ballistic
Missile Treaty.

If we fail today, the
Russians, they could succeed.

We could lose the Cold War.

Not to mention Neil Armstrong and
Buzz Aldrin are American heroes.

Hell, they're my heroes.

Okay, so, really freakin' bad.

Yeah.

Do we even know
what Anthony did?

The best I can tell,
he screwed with

the mainframe,
take the whole system.

I can get my hands on a
computer, try and find out.

Maria Thompkins.
Anybody know who this is?

No.

Says she works at Lockman.
The defense contractor, right?

They helped build
the lunar module.

They're going to help
build a lot more than that.

I mean, spy satellites,
fighter jets, drones.

Pretty much our entire
national defense.

Maybe this is about more
than taking the moon shot.

Maybe this is about taking
Lockman, too.

And this Maria Tompkins
is somehow tied into this?

I don't know.
I'm gonna find out though.

Here.

You two just make sure those
astronauts get off the moon.

Man, we live weird lives.

Tell me about it.

Hmm.

Follow me.

Ah, jeez.

I find it fascinating
Rufus got your briefcase,

since he's supposed to
be stranded in 1754!

He must've repaired
the lifeboat somehow.

I guess I taught him well.

Can Rufus fix the computer?

No way. It's an antiquated
platform he knows nothing about.

I taught him
everything he knows,

but I didn't teach
him everything I know.

Are you sure?
Do I need to come back and intervene?

No. What you're doing
is too important.

We're under control here.

I know Rufus.

He doesn't perform
well under pressure.

Okay, just make sure he doesn't.

I swear, why do I even delegate?

Eagle, this is
Houston, do you read?

Eagle, this is
Houston, do you read?

What's Error 1202?

System overload.

A steady stream of data
is flooding the computer,

it's crashing the network.

How long will it
take them to fix it?

Ten, 20 years? What?

Anthony basically launched a
modern DDoS attack against NASA.

They've never seen a
virus like this before.

They've never even
heard the term "virus."

Can you fix it?
I can't even find the source.

I feel like a race car driver
behind the wheel of a Yugo.

There's more computing
power in my toaster

than there is in all this crap.

How could Anthony do this?

He knows what these
astronauts are going through,

probably more than anybody.

What do you mean?

It was Anthony who first
took out the lifeboat.

Can you imagine, being the first
guy to do something like that?

How terrifying it
must have been?

I have some idea.

So the first time you didn't go?
Hell, no.

I swore to God I was not
getting in that damn thing.

Something went wrong.

We got Anthony back. Barely.

He was laying in a hospital
bed for seven months.

I was right there besides
him, every day.

I was happy to do it.

We were more than just
friends, coworkers.

We were brothers.

I thought I knew him as
well as I knew myself.

But after what he went through,

if he's willing to make those
astronauts go through worse,

then I don't know him at all.

Hey. Hey.

This is not over.

We have time, we can fix this.
You can fix this.

We don't just need to
access the mainframe.

More than that, we need someone

who actually knows how
to work these antiques.

What?

I think I know who can help us.

Okay. Who?

The smartest person
in the building

works in the basement.

Katherine Johnson,
the NASA mathematician?

Graduated high school at
14, graduated college at 18,

calculated Alan Shepard's
first space flight,

plus a bunch of the Mercury
and Apollo missions.

John Glenn wouldn't
even trust the computer,

he'd only let
Katherine do the math.

And she did this all as
a black woman in 1969.

You ever see the movie Apollo 13?
Of course.

Well, she wasn't in it.
Even though she was a big part

of bringing that crew back home.

I hope she can help.

If anyone can, it's her.

How about a refill, sweetheart?
Lots of cream, lots of sugar.

Hi.

Um, you're Katherine, right?
Katherine Johnson?

Yes, can I help you?

Gene Kranz would
like to see you.

Can you come with us?

What?

What is this about?

Um, well,
Gene says it's important.

Really?

Can you be any more vague?

We need your help to
save the Apollo 11.

You're the janitor.

Yeah, that's the guy.

He was in here earlier,
chatting up Maria.

So you think the
guy's a Commie spy?

I mean, does he have anything to
do with that mess over at NASA?

I think I'd like to find
him as fast as I can.

So this Maria Thompkins.
What does she do around here?

She's my secretary.
I mean, that's her desk right here.

All your secretaries working
on advanced aircraft design?

Well,
she's goes to school at night.

She's studying to be an
aerospace engineer one day.

Really? Listen,

what does the Commie want with her?
I mean, what's she done?

Maybe it's not what she's done.

Maybe it's what she's gonna do.

What does that mean?

Where is she right now?

Sometimes she takes
her kid to the park.

You wanna go play up there?

Be careful, okay?

Don't climb too high.

Excuse me?

Didn't we meet earlier?
You're the plumber.

You're right.

You're from Lockman. Yeah.

What are you doing here? Wait...

You're not following
me, are you?

No, no, I...

Small world.
Never know who you'll run into.

Guess not.

One of those yours? Yeah...

The little monkey on the
jungle gym over there.

How old is he? Six? Seven?

Good guess. He's six and a half.

Must be a hell of a
day at your office.

With what's happening to those astronauts?
Such a pity.

They don't need you at work?

Oh, no, there's obviously
not much I can do.

Not much anyone can do.

Can I confess something?

I haven't been
entirely forthcoming.

Oh?

I was pleased to be
at Lockman today.

I've been fascinated by
that company my whole life.

You got a thing for
aircrafts, huh?

You wouldn't believe some of
the vehicles I've been in.

What I wouldn't give to pick
your brain about that place.

Well,
you're asking the wrong person.

I'm just a secretary.

Ah, don't sell yourself short.

I saw that drawing on your desk.

You're very gifted.

I bet, one day, you'll do some
remarkable things at Lockman.

Thank you. Mommy...

Hey, sweetie.

Who are you?

I'm friends with your mom.
Who are you?

Gabriel. Gabriel.

Very nice to meet you, sir.

Now, I have a very important
question to ask you.

Do you like ice cream?

But that's impossible.

That's the trajectory we need to
get the Apollo back from the moon,

once the computers
get back up again.

Check the math.

You're no janitor.

That's what I've
been telling you.

Who are you people? Really?

That part you won't believe and
we don't have time to explain.

It's just a couple hours
before those astronauts

run out of oxygen
and die up there.

Here. Take a look at this.

What in God's name is all that?

That is a computer virus,
works just like a real one.

Good news is we can stop
it, save Apollo 11.

How?

I just need access
to the mainframe,

but you know the hardware
much better than I do.

We need to take this to Gene.

No, I don't think that
would be a very good idea.

But he's the Flight Director.

He needs to know about this.

And how do you think he'll react

to hearing this from a janitor?

Probably about the same as me.

Look,
we know that this is crazy.

But you tell us,
what are they saying in Mission Control?

That they've never seen anything

like this.
And they can't fix it.

Well, he can. And trust me,

you have no idea
how much Buzz Aldrin

and Neil Armstrong mean to him.

They mean a lot to me, too.

Well, I can get them home.
I just need your help.

Hey, guys. Gene wants to see you upstairs.
Both of you.

Now? We're a little busy.

Don't look at me.
I'm just the messenger.

Oh, wow.

This is impressive.

Our mainframe holds two
megabytes of memory.

Two whole megabytes.

Ah.

Okay, so what do we do first?

Well, he downloaded the program
from a magnetic tape reel.

How do we access the
operating system to delete it?

First, we need a punch tape.

Like this?

Only not confetti?

I have some in my desk drawer.

Oh, oh, I'll go get it.
You guys get started, okay?

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the President of
the United States.

Good evening,
my fellow Americans.

Fate has ordained that the
men who went to the moon

to explore in peace

will stay on the moon
to rest in peace.

These brave men,
Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin...

You all right?

Yes. It's hard to watch.

You know,
I met Janet Armstrong once.

I just wonder what she's
gonna tell her kids.

That their father's up
there, in the cold, forever?

I don't mean to pry,
but you've been through something similar?

Not like that, no, but...

Yes, I lost my husband.

Car accident.

I'm sorry to hear that.

And how long have
you been married?

I was married. With a daughter.

Where are they now?

They died.

I'm so sorry.

You had no way of knowing.

What happened?

They were killed. Murdered.

Murdered?

Did they catch who did it?

No.

I can't even imagine.

Sometimes it's a lot.

Yeah.

Sometimes I wish I could just...

Let go.

I'm sorry, I know this is
none of my business, but...

If anyone ever hurt my boy,

I would go to the ends of
the Earth to find them.

There's absolutely
nothing I wouldn't do.

And I would never let go.

Thank you for saying that.

You know, he's usually
so shy around strangers.

There must be
something about you.

People around the
world are left to worry

at what went so wrong...

President Nixon just
concluded his speech

acknowledging that the
astronauts currently on the moon,

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin,

are stranded and will almost
surely die on the lunar surface...

Excuse me, sir?

Yeah, what can I do for
you, Officer?

Can't park here. Gonna have to
ask you to move your vehicle.

Yeah. Not a problem.
Sorry about that.

Whoa! Hands where I can see 'em!

Easy, buddy.

I'm FBI.

I'm gonna reach
in my coat pocket

and show you my
badge, all right?

I'm sorry. I have to go.

Okay.

Sorry, Agent Mulder.
Just doing my job.

Not a problem.

So, how long should
it take to download?

Around 10 minutes.

Ten minutes?

I know. Fast, huh?

You better be right
about all this.

Those guys will be
back any minute.

I could get into a
world of trouble.

I am, just... Trust me.

Trust you?

Maybe you haven't noticed,
but it isn't exactly

raining black women around here.

I've had to prove I belong
here, every day.

And now I'm putting that
all on the line for this?

For you?

I must be crazy.

You're right. I haven't given
you any reason to trust me.

But I'm asking you to anyway.

Because the very last thing
I'd wanna do is let you down.

And why's that? Honestly,

I'm a little
starstruck right now.

You're one of the
reasons I am who I am.

What are you talking about?

I'm just a number
cruncher in the basement.

Not true. To me...

To a lot of people,

you're just as important as
the guys in Mission Control.

Or the ones on the moon.

There you are.
Sweetheart, I never got that coffee...

Sorry. Very busy, okay?
Come on now, doll.

How busy can you be?

You know what? Come here.

Trust me.

You do not want to
drink the cup of coffee

I would bring you after
grabbing me like that.

And by the way,
my name is not "doll"

or "sweetheart" or anything
else that sounds like a baby.

The women here
have actual names,

I'm sure you can
learn their names.

It's not that hard.
Kind of like making coffee for yourself.

You're a rocket
scientist, figure it out.

I don't care what Nixon says.

I'm the one who has to look
those women in the eyes

and tell them their
husbands aren't coming home.

So we're not giving up.
There has

to be some way to restore comms.

We're working on it, Gene.

But something
corrupted the software

in a way we've
never seen before.

Well, then what the hell
are you doing up here?

Why aren't you down
there fixing it?

Because you asked to see us.

You just feed it through there,
make sure it goes in straight.

Sounds easy enough.

Just relying on
a very thin piece

of paper with super
small holes in it

to save the lunar landing.

No big deal.

How do I access the mainframe?

You need to extract the
seven-bit interpretive op code.

What a piece of state
of the art machinery.

It's binary,
fixed point arithmetic.

Now, just make sure
you type in "INDEX"...

To store the specified
memory address, okay.

I think I'm getting it.

Wow!

Look at you go. All right.

It's deleting the virus.

Back away from the computer!

It'll be okay. Miss Johnson,

it's a true honor to meet you.

Smart move, going to her, Rufus.

Go to hell, Anthony.

I'd say that's a foregone
conclusion at this point.

Now, I can't let you
fix that computer.

Back away.
How could you do this?

Do what he says.

Anthony, I was there.

When you first took the lifeboat
out, that was our moon shot.

And it almost killed you.

You're really willing
to let the same

thing happen to
those astronauts?

You don't get it.

You know I built
the time machine.

More than Mason ever did.

So if Rittenhouse
gets her hands on it,

with what they're
planning to do with it...

That's on me.

I just can't live with that.

What is Rittenhouse
going to do with it?

What are you talking about?

Back away from the computers!

It's all right!

It's all right, it's all right.

He's not gonna shoot you.

Is that so?

You wouldn't let your soldier
pal shoot me in Vegas.

Because we're still
friends, Rufus.

Because despite everything,
we still know each other.

Now put the gun down.

Oh!

You don't know me. Not anymore.

Those astronauts are
coming back home.

Katherine, why did you tell us...
God!

Please. Don't shoot.

Don't move!

I think it's time we go. Yep.

I'm sorry about all this.
Just make sure the program finishes.

Thank you so much
for helping us.

Eagle, this is Houston.

Do you read?

Eagle? This is Houston.

Do you read?

Come in, Eagle, this is Houston.

Do you read?

Eagle, this is Houston.
Do you read?

Houston, radio check.

Okay, okay,
let's settle down now.

Let's get on with it.
Send our boys outside for a little walk.

A Russian spy?

That's right.

But he seemed so kind.

That's how they operate.
It's a ploy.

So you have no idea
what he wanted?

Something you're
working on at Lockman,

maybe you told him about?

He did say he was
interested in the company.

But, no, I never told
him anything specific.

That's one small step for man,

one giant leap for mankind.

Well, would you look at that.

Looks like the astronauts
are gonna be okay.

Oh, my God.
Gabriel should see this.

Gabriel! Oh, my God!
My God, Gabriel!

Gabriel, what are you doing?
Get off of him!

That's my son.

Maria!

Get back now! It's medicine!

It was a bee sting.
Gabriel was in anaphylactic shock.

It was a shot of epinephrine.

He just saved your son's life.

Stand back!

Every memory I have of
you, you were always sad.

And I know what it's
like to lose a child.

I didn't wanna let
you lose yours.

Not if I could change it.

What?

It was good to see you again.

What the hell is this, Flynn?

You're all right.

We're all good.

The unredacted file
on Garcia Flynn.

Wait. You've had this the whole time?
And you didn't show us?

The boss would be pissed
I'm showing it to you know,

but you should have this
information, so screw him.

Maria was Flynn's mother.

The kid, Gabriel,
was his half-brother.

When you met Maria,
she was a widow with a son.

Two years later,
she becomes an engineer for Lockman.

She works overseas,
where she marries a man named Asher Flynn.

They have a bouncing
baby boy named Garcia.

When Garcia eventually
goes to work with the NSA,

he says, and I quote,

"My mother worked in
national defense."

"Guess it runs in the family."

So where's the kid now? Gabriel.

Alive and well, apparently,
living in Paris.

Severe allergic
reaction to bee stings

listed in his medical file.

Which was supposed to kill
him until Flynn changed it.

I don't get it.

All you and I want
to do is go back

and save the people that we love

and Flynn, he just does
it, without hesitation.

So why aren't we
doing the same thing?

Because stopping Flynn is
still our top priority.

- But I gave you my terms.
- Lucy,

I know we have a deal.

The second Flynn is
out of the picture

we will find a way to
get you your sister back.

There you are.

Check it out.

"The unsung hero of
countless NASA missions,."

"Katherine Johnson finally
got the credit she deserves."

"During the Apollo 11 crisis,."

"Katherine single-handedly
fixed the computers."

Single-handedly?
Well, that's what it says.

"Thwarting a communist
attack on Mission Control."

So history mostly
stayed the same.

For Katherine,
looks like a change for the better.

They made her the first
female Flight Director.

Even made a movie about her.
Looks like things worked out okay.

What about you?

Hmm?

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Rufus, with what
happened earlier today.

You didn't have a choice,
it was self-defense.

Yeah, I know.

I'm fine.

That's the problem.

What do you mean?

I killed a man and I feel fine.

I really don't feel
much of anything.

I'd do it again,

probably shoot Anthony,
Flynn wouldn't have a pilot,

and we can go back
to our normal lives.

Whatever normal means now.

When I first started all this,

I was scared as hell.

Practically afraid
of my own shadow,

I never wanted to hurt anybody.

But now...

I don't know.

Lucy.

What am I becoming?
