- 2
- 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,959
- I used to think
- 3
- 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,679
- this was the beginning of your story.
- 4
- 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,795
- Memory is a strange thing.
- 5
- 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,272
- It doesn't work like I thought it did.
- 6
- 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,150
- We are so bound by time, by its order.
- 7
- 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,554
- Okay.
- 8
- 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,317
- Okay. Come back to me.
- 9
- 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,118
- Come back to me.
- 10
- 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,071
- Come back to me.
- 11
- 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,713
- Stick 'em up!
- 12
- 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,396
- Are you the sheriff
- in this here town?
- 13
- 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,711
- These are my tickle guns,
- and I'm gonna getcha!
- 14
- 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,358
- No!
- 15
- 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,035
- You want me to chase you?
- You better run!
- 16
- 00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:50,514
- - Ah!
- - Oh!
- 17
- 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,669
- I remember
- moments in the middle.
- 18
- 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,717
- I love you.
- 19
- 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,953
- I hate you!
- 20
- 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,951
- And this was the end.
- 21
- 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,514
- Shhh...
- 22
- 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,789
- Come back to me.
- 23
- 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,632
- You come back to me.
- 24
- 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,479
- But now I'm not so sure
- 25
- 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,755
- I believe in beginnings and endings.
- 26
- 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,918
- There are days that define
- your story beyond your life.
- 27
- 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,589
- Like the day they arrived.
- 28
- 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,160
- Good morning.
- 29
- 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,320
- Morning.
- 30
- 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:28,831
- Where is everyone?
- 31
- 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,510
- Okay. Well, let's get started.
- 32
- 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,438
- Today we are talking about Portuguese
- 33
- 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,511
- and why it sounds so different
- 34
- 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,949
- from the other Romance languages.
- 35
- 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,352
- The story of Portuguese begins
- in the kingdom of Galicia...
- 36
- 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,715
- - Sorry.
- - ...in the Middle Ages,
- 37
- 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,349
- where language was seen
- as an expression of art.
- 38
- 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,709
- Any news you want to share?
- 39
- 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,110
- Dr. Banks, can you turn
- the TV to a news channel?
- 40
- 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,472
- ...but police have
- already set up a blockade
- 41
- 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:26,834
- here around the area.
- 42
- 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,230
- As you can see,
- we've got just about as close as we can,
- 43
- 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,588
- but unfortunately,
- 44
- 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,995
- Montana right now
- is on complete lockdown.
- 45
- 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,152
- The object apparently
- touched down 40 minutes ago,
- 46
- 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,071
- just north of I-94.
- 47
- 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,594
- We 're waiting to hear if this is perhaps
- 48
- 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,353
- an experimental vessel or...
- 49
- 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,510
- Hold on, it...
- 50
- 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,275
- I'm learning that more objects
- like this have landed in
- 51
- 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,595
- as many as eight other locations
- 52
- 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,671
- around the world.
- 53
- 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,512
- Yes, can we?
- 54
- 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,876
- This is from a site in Hokkaido.
- 55
- 00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:03,509
- This is worldwide.
- It is happening right now.
- 56
- 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,397
- Okay. Um...
- 57
- 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,352
- I'm sorry. Class is dismissed.
- 58
- 00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,513
- You are an idiot!
- You drove right into me!
- 59
- 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,072
- You just ruined my car!
- 60
- 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,913
- For now, we're simply
- asking for cooperation
- 61
- 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,070
- while authorities assess the object.
- 62
- 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,355
- So, you're saying it's not ours?
- 63
- 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,192
- Do you even know if it's from Earth?
- 64
- 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,656
- We 're still collecting information.
- 65
- 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,976
- We're coordinating with other countries.
- 66
- 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,831
- We're not the only ones to
- 67
- 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,115
- have one of these in our backyard.
- 68
- 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,192
- If this is
- some sort of peaceful first contact,
- 69
- 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,833
- why send 12?
- 70
- 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,638
- Why not just one?
- 71
- 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,355
- Yeah, I know. I saw that, too.
- 72
- 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,316
- Uh-huh.
- 73
- 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,198
- Uh-huh. I don't know, Mom.
- 74
- 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,959
- I'm watching
- the same news coverage you are.
- 75
- 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,078
- Well, Mom,
- please don't bother with that channel.
- 76
- 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,034
- How many times do I have to tell you?
- Those people are idiots.
- 77
- 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,550
- Yeah, well, do I sound nervous?
- 78
- 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,391
- Okay. Exactly. So...
- 79
- 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,149
- Um, me? Yeah, um, you know me.
- 80
- 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,071
- I'm about the same.
- 81
- 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,230
- Mom, I'm fine.
- 82
- 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,913
- Okay, I'll call you later. Bye.
- 83
- 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,513
- And around eight
- hours after landing,
- 84
- 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,480
- there are still no signs
- of what might be called
- 85
- 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:40,919
- "first contact."
- 86
- 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,828
- Now, the objects measure
- at least 1,500 feet tall...
- 87
- 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,520
- Two are reported
- to have penetrated Russian airspace.
- 88
- 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,036
- One in Siberia, and the other
- off the coast of the Black...
- 89
- 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,792
- ...above the ocean.
- 90
- 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,275
- So far, there are 12 unidentified objects
- 91
- 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,713
- spread across the globe.
- 92
- 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,360
- There is no obvious logic
- to their locations
- 93
- 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,113
- and no evidence that
- the ships are even occu...
- 94
- 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,715
- ...entertain the idea that
- if it is a kind of vessel,
- 95
- 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,189
- it may be unmanned.
- 96
- 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,317
- Regardless, we have
- a protocol for scenarios like this.
- 97
- 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,029
- After Tuesday's
- extraordinary events,
- 98
- 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,112
- the President this morning has
- declared a state of emergency,
- 99
- 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,997
- with as many as 5,000 National Guard
- 100
- 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,275
- being deployed to
- the state of Montana alone.
- 101
- 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,874
- Borders are closed
- and flights have been grounded,
- 102
- 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,757
- stranding millions of travelers.
- 103
- 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,189
- Panic buying of gas, water and food
- 104
- 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,038
- continues to escalate,
- 105
- 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,936
- and federal authorities
- have temporarily lifted
- 106
- 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,918
- all caps on overtime
- for law enforcement.
- 107
- 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,873
- The ATF has put a temporary ban
- on new gun licenses,
- 108
- 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,030
- forcing many independent suppliers of
- 109
- 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,111
- hunting equipment and firearms
- 110
- 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,117
- to close their doors to the public.
- 111
- 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,515
- Forty-eight hours later
- and no further development...
- 112
- 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,828
- Two days...
- 113
- 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,638
- ...from the site of the 12 UFOs.
- 114
- 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,352
- ...and al ready, the public expects us
- 115
- 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,271
- to know the answers.
- 116
- 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,311
- I'm Colonel G.T. Weber.
- 117
- 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,229
- We never formally met,
- 118
- 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,096
- but two years ago,
- you did some Farsi translations
- 119
- 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,553
- for Army Intelligence.
- 120
- 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:10,755
- Oh.
- 121
- 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,479
- You made quick work
- of those insurgent videos.
- 122
- 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,750
- You made quick work
- of those insurgents.
- 123
- 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,992
- You are on the top of everyone's list
- 124
- 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,435
- when it comes to translations.
- 125
- 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,229
- And you have another
- two years in your SSBI,
- 126
- 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,390
- so you still have top-secret clearance.
- 127
- 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,756
- That's why I'm in your office
- and not at Berkeley.
- 128
- 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,352
- Okay.
- 129
- 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,108
- I have something I need you
- to translate for me.
- 130
- 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,277
- Why are you here?
- 131
- 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,960
- Can you... Can you understand us?
- 132
- 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,839
- Where did you come from?
- 133
- 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,359
- Now you heard it.
- What do you make of it?
- 134
- 00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:28,272
- Is that...
- 135
- 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,992
- Yes.
- 136
- 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,957
- How many?
- 137
- 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,875
- - How many what?
- - Um, how many, um, speaking?
- 138
- 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,513
- Two.
- 139
- 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,356
- Assume they were not speaking
- at the same time.
- 140
- 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,557
- Are you sure? Did they have mouths...
- 141
- 00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:55,070
- How would you approach
- translating this?
- 142
- 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,071
- Do you hear any words? Phrases?
- 143
- 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,197
- I don't... I don't know.
- 144
- 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,998
- So what can you tell me?
- 145
- 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,275
- I can tell you that it's impossible
- 146
- 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,316
- to translate from an audio file.
- 147
- 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,517
- I would need to be there,
- to interact with them.
- 148
- 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,558
- You didn't need that
- with the Farsi translations.
- 149
- 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,438
- I didn't need it because
- I already knew the language,
- 150
- 00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:21,630
- but this... This is... Ah...
- 151
- 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,869
- I know what you're doing.
- 152
- 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,878
- - Tell me what I'm doing.
- - I'm not taking you to Montana.
- 153
- 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,056
- It's all I can do
- to keep it from turning into a tourist site
- 154
- 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,376
- for everybody who has a TS clearance.
- 155
- 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,391
- I'm just telling you what it would take
- 156
- 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:35,879
- to do this job.
- 157
- 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,399
- This is not a negotiation.
- 158
- 00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:41,189
- If I leave here, your chance is gone.
- 159
- 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,917
- Good day.
- 160
- 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,797
- Colonel?
- 161
- 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,953
- You mentioned Berkeley.
- 162
- 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,355
- Are you going to ask Danvers next?
- 163
- 00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,754
- Maybe.
- 164
- 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,229
- Before you commit to him,
- 165
- 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,955
- ask him the Sanskrit word
- for war and its translation.
- 166
- 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,315
- An agreement on sharing
- scientific discoveries
- 167
- 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,032
- looks closer tonight,
- 168
- 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,714
- as Russia and China join talks
- at the United Nations.
- 169
- 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,270
- Meanwhile, financial markets
- across the world are in crisis
- 170
- 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,510
- as the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell
- 171
- 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,192
- over 2,000 points...
- 172
- 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:46,960
- Morning.
- 173
- 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,120
- Colonel?
- 174
- 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,313
- Gavisti.
- 175
- 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,311
- He says it means "an argument."
- 176
- 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,879
- What do you say it means?
- 177
- 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,513
- A desire for more cows.
- 178
- 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,153
- Pack your bags.
- 179
- 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,717
- - All right. Give me 20 minutes?
- - Takeoff in ten.
- 180
- 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,680
- Dr. Banks.
- Right this way, please.
- 181
- 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,432
- Contact and ready to approach...
- 182
- 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,000
- Excuse me, Dr. Banks, let me make
- sure you're properly secured.
- 183
- 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,508
- You okay?
- 184
- 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,553
- Sorry, I couldn't hear
- what you were saying.
- 185
- 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,552
- "Language is the foundation
- of civilization.
- 186
- 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,029
- "It is the glue
- that holds a people together.
- 187
- 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,953
- "It is the first weapon drawn
- in a conflict."
- 188
- 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,676
- Louise, this is Ian Donnelly.
- Louise Banks, Ian Donnelly.
- 189
- 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,279
- That's quite a greeting.
- 190
- 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,277
- Yeah, well, you wrote it.
- 191
- 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,958
- Yeah.
- 192
- 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,469
- It's the kind of thing
- you write as a preface.
- 193
- 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,636
- Dazzle them with the basics.
- 194
- 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,797
- Yeah, it's great. Even if it's wrong.
- 195
- 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,150
- It's wrong?
- 196
- 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,549
- Well, the cornerstone of civilization
- isn't language,
- 197
- 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,073
- it's science.
- 198
- 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,751
- Ian is a theoretical physicist
- from Los Alamos.
- 199
- 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,936
- You'll be reporting to me,
- but you'll be working with him
- 200
- 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,439
- when you're in the shell.
- 201
- 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,591
- That's what they're calling the UFO.
- 202
- 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,150
- Priority one: what do they want
- and where are they from?
- 203
- 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,715
- And beyond that, how did they get here?
- 204
- 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,360
- Are they capable of
- faster-than-light travel?
- 205
- 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,955
- I've prepared
- a list of questions to go over,
- 206
- 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,191
- starting with a series of
- "handshake" binary sequences...
- 207
- 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,838
- How about we just talk to them
- 208
- 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,269
- before we start throwing
- math problems at them?
- 209
- 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,676
- This is why you're both here.
- 210
- 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,272
- I'll bring the coffee.
- 211
- 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,391
- Coffee with some aliens.
- 212
- 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,953
- I want you to take
- these two to Dr. Kettler.
- 213
- 00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:47,838
- Yes, sir.
- 214
- 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,478
- Follow the captain to medical.
- 215
- 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,272
- It should take just a few minutes,
- 216
- 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:53,430
- and then we'll get started.
- 217
- 00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:07,795
- We'll take care of your bag.
- I'll take your cell phones.
- 218
- 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,757
- Cell phones!
- 219
- 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,791
- Follow me.
- 220
- 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,633
- Put these on. You're gonna
- wear them at all times.
- 221
- 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,913
- Sir, they're here.
- 222
- 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,472
- Louise Banks?
- Ian Donnelly?
- 223
- 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,456
- When was the last time
- either of you have eaten?
- 224
- 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,799
- - Last night.
- - Same.
- 225
- 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,736
- Last time
- you did something stressful?
- 226
- 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,478
- Does now count?
- 227
- 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,319
- Just saying...
- 228
- 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,153
- Uh, who was being carted off
- in the medevac?
- 229
- 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,750
- Not everyone is able to
- process experiences like this.
- 230
- 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,751
- I'm gonna get some blood from you
- 231
- 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,398
- and give you an immunization dose
- 232
- 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,670
- that covers a battery of bacterial threats.
- 233
- 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,837
- Could you sign these, please?
- And roll up your sleeves.
- 234
- 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,359
- Either of you claustrophobic?
- 235
- 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,839
- - No.
- - No.
- 236
- 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,434
- Currently taking any medications?
- Allergies?
- 237
- 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:04,999
- Pregnant?
- 238
- 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,513
- No.
- 239
- 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,676
- The booster is a kick to your system,
- 240
- 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,916
- so you may experience
- some side effects,
- 241
- 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,598
- nausea, dizziness, headaches,
- 242
- 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,353
- a ringing in your ears,
- like you have tinnitus.
- 243
- 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,431
- They wouldn't go, either way.
- 244
- 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,711
- You see what's happening to him?
- 245
- 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,200
- How does this even work?
- 246
- 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,416
- The readings do not change,
- 247
- 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,634
- but I don't know,
- 248
- 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,950
- it's like we're insects
- on a piece of paper,
- 249
- 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,110
- and they're easing us out of the house.
- 250
- 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,953
- At exactly 112 minutes and 19 seconds,
- 251
- 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,316
- gravity starts to shift
- and slides us out of the room.
- 252
- 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,472
- Have you found
- a scientific explanation for it?
- 253
- 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:47,959
- Like, is it for them?
- 254
- 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,951
- Uh, no. We think it's for us.
- 255
- 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,713
- Air doesn't seem to circulate
- inside the chamber,
- 256
- 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,479
- so after about two hours,
- we run out of oxygen.
- 257
- 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,155
- It doesn't take 18 hours
- to pump fresh air into a room.
- 258
- 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,719
- Atmosphere...
- 259
- 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,913
- Excuse me?
- 260
- 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,070
- If their atmosphere is
- different from Earth,
- 261
- 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,553
- it would certainly take hours
- 262
- 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,910
- to rebalance their O2 content
- and pressure for us
- 263
- 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,911
- every time they open their door.
- 264
- 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,389
- So, they could suffocate us
- if they wanted.
- 265
- 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,312
- This is Agent Halpern
- with the CIA.
- 266
- 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,755
- Let me get you two to your stations.
- 267
- 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,068
- Yes, sir.
- 268
- 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,919
- Remember, we need answers
- as soon as possible.
- 269
- 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,752
- What do they want?
- Where are they from?
- 270
- 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,159
- Why are they here?
- 271
- 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:27,508
- This is the priority.
- 272
- 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,511
- Everyone, this is Dr. Ian Donnelly.
- 273
- 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,272
- He'll be running this team here.
- 274
- 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:33,430
- Have they responded to anything?
- 275
- 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,120
- Shapes, patterns, numbers, Fibonacci?
- 276
- 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,496
- We can't tell what they're saying
- 277
- 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,431
- when they respond to "hello," so...
- 278
- 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,191
- Don't get ahead of yourself.
- 279
- 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,032
- What have you figured out?
- 280
- 00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:49,157
- We're just getting started.
- Good morning!
- 281
- 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,152
- This is Dr. Louise Banks.
- She'll be heading your team.
- 282
- 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,673
- It's a pleasure meeting you.
- 283
- 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,320
- Dr. Banks is
- taking over the mission from Dr. Walker.
- 284
- 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,349
- That's a 15-minute warning.
- 285
- 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,391
- You scuba-dive before?
- 286
- 00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:07,828
- What kind of radiation exposure
- are we walking into?
- 287
- 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,229
- Nominal. These are just for safety.
- 288
- 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,959
- So, is there any physical
- contact with the, um...
- 289
- 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,759
- Am I the only one having
- trouble saying "aliens"?
- 290
- 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,717
- There's a wall. Like, a glass wall.
- 291
- 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,472
- You can't get to them.
- 292
- 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,519
- So, what do they look like?
- 293
- 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,716
- You'll see soon enough. Hurry up.
- 294
- 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,313
- The suits are clumsy at first,
- 295
- 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,436
- but you get used to them.
- 296
- 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,791
- I'll open a second vehicle.
- 297
- 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,237
- We'll be there in a few minutes.
- 298
- 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,390
- Make sure you hold on to something.
- 299
- 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,195
- Copy, Condor.
- We will observe, but not initiate. Over.
- 300
- 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,437
- Watch your step.
- 301
- 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,436
- We'll keep
- Alpha channel open. Over.
- 302
- 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,034
- Alpha, be advised.
- Humidity increased since yesterday.
- 303
- 00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:14,111
- Every 18 hours,
- 304
- 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,435
- the door opens up at the bottom.
- 305
- 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,672
- That's where we go in.
- 306
- 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,152
- Zero movement.
- Alpha detail, clear to proceed. Over.
- 307
- 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,536
- Copy, Condor.
- 308
- 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,437
- Beginning our ascent now. Over.
- 309
- 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,870
- Ten feet.
- 310
- 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,397
- Five feet.
- 311
- 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,035
- Two, one...
- 312
- 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,228
- Alpha clear to enter antechamber.
- 313
- 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,837
- Moving into position.
- 314
- 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,472
- Thirty feet from target.
- 315
- 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,357
- Suit telemetry now full strength,
- 316
- 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,032
- despite unknown interference.
- 317
- 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,834
- Three, two, one.
- 318
- 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,959
- Oxygen level: 20.3%.
- 319
- 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,634
- No known contaminates. Over.
- 320
- 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,516
- Radio signals are decreasing.
- 321
- 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,592
- 90%, 85%...
- 322
- 00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:55,190
- Yeah, that just happened.
- 323
- 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,754
- All right, let's move!
- 324
- 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:17,995
- Time is wasting.
- 325
- 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,189
- You ready? You ready?
- 326
- 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,719
- Let's do it!
- 327
- 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,156
- Condor, I'm proceeding first
- with Captain Marks, over.
- 328
- 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,997
- Gravity nominal
- in the antechamber. Over!
- 329
- 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,196
- It's all good, sir.
- 330
- 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:40,719
- You can proceed.
- 331
- 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,553
- Stand by! Okay, bring it up.
- 332
- 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,438
- Vitals are low.
- 333
- 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,353
- Radio signal strength
- stable at 75%. Over.
- 334
- 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,877
- You okay?
- 335
- 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,839
- Yeah.
- 336
- 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,552
- Dr. Banks?
- 337
- 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,477
- You can do this. Come on.
- 338
- 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,318
- I don't know. I... I think...
- 339
- 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,718
- Grab her.
- 340
- 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,151
- Donnelly, are you all right?
- 341
- 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,471
- Dr. Donnelly, you good?
- 342
- 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,390
- Dr. Donnelly,
- are you all right?
- 343
- 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,436
- Please respond. Over.
- 344
- 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,158
- Yeah.
- 345
- 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,151
- Holy fuck!
- 346
- 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,274
- We're gonna go down there,
- 347
- 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,119
- and you're gonna start your job.
- 348
- 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:03,918
- - Okay.
- - Okay?
- 349
- 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,069
- Okay.
- 350
- 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,355
- Everybody, move out!
- 351
- 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,176
- Alpha detail is in position.
- 352
- 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,758
- Team is in position.
- 353
- 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,353
- We're on the move.
- 354
- 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,230
- Condor, Alpha's now in the nave.
- 355
- 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,995
- Setting up equipment
- and telemetry. Over.
- 356
- 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,592
- So, what happens now?
- 357
- 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,038
- They arrive.
- 358
- 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,358
- Dr. Banks?
- 359
- 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,470
- Dr. Banks?
- 360
- 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,312
- You can start.
- 361
- 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,951
- ...in airlock.
- 362
- 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,679
- Do not stop until you have
- passed the airlock door.
- 363
- 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,751
- Do not attempt to remove hazmat suits
- 364
- 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,758
- without assistance
- from authorized personnel.
- 365
- 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,319
- Repeat: hazmat suits
- 366
- 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,312
- without assistance
- from authorized personnel.
- 367
- 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,231
- Wait. Just a minute. Just a minute.
- 368
- 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,080
- Clear.
- 369
- 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,720
- - All right.
- - Step on out, please.
- 370
- 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:34,880
- Now hold that.
- 371
- 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,598
- Am I fired?
- 372
- 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,389
- You're better than the last guy.
- 373
- 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,040
- That doesn't
- make me feel any better.
- 374
- 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,717
- You both have till 02:00 hours
- to figure something out.
- 375
- 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,229
- Okay. What happens then?
- 376
- 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,992
- You go back in.
- 377
- 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,030
- Violence continues to spread
- 378
- 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,953
- across the US today in
- the wake of the 12 landings.
- 379
- 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,314
- The president has declared
- 380
- 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,072
- a mandatory dusk-to-dawn curfew
- 381
- 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,515
- after the crackdown
- by the National Guard failed
- 382
- 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,353
- to prevent a third night of
- looting across the country.
- 383
- 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,398
- In North Dakota, 144 members of
- 384
- 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,198
- the Saint Lawrence Pentecostal Cult
- 385
- 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,192
- are feared dead after they set
- their compound ablaze.
- 386
- 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,714
- Their website claims
- the arrival of the aliens
- 387
- 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,472
- set in motion a prophesy that...
- 388
- 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,392
- Uh, we're up in 15.
- You got any new intel?
- 389
- 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,473
- Yeah, we've been playing back
- some of their sounds.
- 390
- 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,198
- Where does that get you?
- 391
- 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,952
- Well, they play audio back at us,
- 392
- 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,156
- from an unseen source.
- 393
- 00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:27,753
- Audio of what?
- 394
- 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,035
- Uh, it's bits of conversation
- from the room.
- 395
- 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,997
- Random clips of dialogue.
- 396
- 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,348
- Really, we have nothing.
- 397
- 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,195
- T-minus 14 minutes
- to shell access.
- 398
- 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,236
- T-minus 14 minutes to shell access.
- 399
- 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,233
- T-minus 9 minutes to shell access.
- 400
- 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,312
- T-minus 9 minutes to shell access.
- 401
- 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,913
- What's that for?
- 402
- 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,911
- A visual aid.
- 403
- 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,673
- Look, I'm never
- gonna be able to speak their words,
- 404
- 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,352
- if they are talking,
- 405
- 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,273
- but they might
- have some sort of written language
- 406
- 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,271
- or basis for visual communication.
- 407
- 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,749
- Okay. Let's get started.
- 408
- 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,234
- Human.
- 409
- 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,593
- "Human."
- 410
- 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,793
- I'm human. What are you?
- 411
- 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:26,752
- Human.
- 412
- 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,189
- Oh my God!
- 413
- 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,469
- Are you getting this?
- 414
- 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,949
- Yes, sir!
- It's uploading back to base camp.
- 415
- 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,711
- Louise, that's incredible.
- 416
- 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,071
- Human.
- 417
- 00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:48,199
- Human.
- 418
- 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,596
- Okay, slow down now.
- 419
- 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:04,919
- Slow down.
- 420
- 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,430
- I don't wanna take away
- from your success in there,
- 421
- 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,988
- but Dr. Banks,
- is this really the right approach?
- 422
- 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,311
- Trying to teach them
- how to speak and read?
- 423
- 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,197
- That's gotta take longer.
- 424
- 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,590
- You're wrong. It's faster.
- 425
- 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,599
- Everything you do in there,
- I have to explain to a room full of men
- 426
- 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,511
- whose first and last question is...
- 427
- 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,636
- "How can this be used against us?"
- 428
- 00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:48,439
- So you're gonna have to
- give me more than that.
- 429
- 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,478
- Kangaroo.
- 430
- 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:53,794
- What is that?
- 431
- 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,393
- In 1770,
- 432
- 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,277
- Captain James Cook's ship ran aground
- 433
- 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:58,634
- off the coast of Australia,
- 434
- 00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:00,472
- and he led a party into the country,
- 435
- 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,198
- and they met the Aboriginal people.
- 436
- 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,759
- One of the sailors pointed at
- 437
- 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,598
- the animals that hop around
- 438
- 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,398
- and put their babies in their pouch,
- 439
- 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,152
- and he asked what they were,
- 440
- 00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:11,356
- and the Aborigine said, "Kangaroo."
- 441
- 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,434
- And the point is?
- 442
- 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,296
- It wasn't till later
- that they learned that
- 443
- 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,073
- "kangaroo" means
- "I don't understand." So,
- 444
- 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,232
- I need this so that we don't
- misinterpret things in there.
- 445
- 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,880
- Otherwise, this is gonna
- take 10 times as long.
- 446
- 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,034
- I can sell that for now.
- 447
- 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,480
- But I need you to submit
- your vocabulary words
- 448
- 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:32,913
- before the next session.
- 449
- 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,513
- Fair.
- 450
- 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,989
- And remember what happened
- to the Aborigines.
- 451
- 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,068
- A more advanced race
- nearly wiped them out.
- 452
- 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:49,873
- It's a good story.
- 453
- 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,353
- Thanks.
- 454
- 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,952
- It's not true.
- 455
- 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,156
- But it proves my point.
- 456
- 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,280
- We think
- we were able to reproduce
- 457
- 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,119
- some prime number sequences
- back at them.
- 458
- 00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:19,468
- So that's something.
- 459
- 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,154
- Well, congratulations.
- You're a parrot.
- 460
- 00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:23,856
- It's a lot more than that,
- you cheeky bastard,
- 461
- 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:24,995
- don't you see?
- 462
- 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,071
- They can't seem to follow our algebra,
- 463
- 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,036
- but complex behaviors, that clicks.
- 464
- 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,909
- Well that doesn't make
- any sense at all, does it?
- 465
- 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,016
- Problem is,
- not everyone shares our policy
- 466
- 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,996
- of being open with the aliens.
- 467
- 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,071
- Have you met General Shang?
- 468
- 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,355
- The call sign for him is Big Domino.
- 469
- 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:51,668
- Whatever Shang does,
- 470
- 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,512
- at least four other nations will follow.
- 471
- 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,750
- Louise? We have to gain ground today.
- 472
- 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,279
- Okay.
- 473
- 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,756
- - You have a vocabulary list for me?
- - I do.
- 474
- 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,276
- You're gonna teach them
- your name and Ian's?
- 475
- 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,873
- Yes, so that we can learn
- 476
- 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,598
- their names if they have names,
- 477
- 00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:13,517
- and then introduce pronouns later.
- 478
- 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,192
- These are all grade-school words:
- 479
- 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,589
- eat, walk.
- 480
- 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,672
- Help me understand.
- 481
- 00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:24,358
- Okay. Um...
- 482
- 00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:29,551
- Oh, no, no, no! Not the top!
- 483
- 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,195
- Okay, this is where
- you wanna get to, right?
- 484
- 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:38,760
- - That is the question.
- - Okay.
- 485
- 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,035
- So, first, we need to make sure that
- 486
- 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,230
- they understand what a question is.
- 487
- 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,108
- Okay, the nature of
- a request for information
- 488
- 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,758
- along with a response.
- 489
- 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:53,072
- Then, we need to clarify
- the difference between
- 490
- 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,277
- a specific "you" and a collective "you,"
- 491
- 00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,512
- because we don't wanna know
- why Joe Alien is here,
- 492
- 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,473
- we want to know why they all landed.
- 493
- 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,990
- And purpose requires
- an understanding of intent.
- 494
- 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:08,354
- We need to find out:
- 495
- 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,391
- do they make conscious choices?
- 496
- 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,596
- Or is their motivation so instinctive
- 497
- 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,717
- that they don't understand
- a "why" question at all?
- 498
- 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,313
- And... And biggest of all,
- 499
- 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,595
- we need to have enough
- vocabulary with them
- 500
- 00:43:19,720 --> 00:43:21,438
- that we understand their answer.
- 501
- 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,598
- I get it.
- 502
- 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,035
- Stick to your list.
- 503
- 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:29,599
- Just
- 504
- 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,391
- don't add anything to it.
- 505
- 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,916
- ...are at 2.97.
- 506
- 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,076
- Oxygen level: 21.4%. Over.
- 507
- 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,760
- Condor, Alpha's now in the nave.
- 508
- 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,678
- Setting up equipment
- and telemetry. Over.
- 509
- 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,273
- Let's get started.
- 510
- 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:12,272
- Louise. Louise. I am Louise.
- 511
- 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,756
- What is that?
- 512
- 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,432
- Is that a new symbol? I can't tell.
- 513
- 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,233
- I don't know.
- I think it's the symbol for human again.
- 514
- 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,629
- It just has a little curl on the end,
- 515
- 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,637
- maybe to indicate a question.
- 516
- 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,432
- I don't know.
- 517
- 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:34,709
- I don't know, Louise.
- 518
- 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,109
- I think they're getting confused.
- 519
- 00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:38,673
- Dr. Banks,
- 520
- 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,955
- perhaps we should
- move on to the next word.
- 521
- 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:00,793
- Dr. Banks!
- 522
- 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:03,280
- It's okay.
- 523
- 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:04,440
- What's going on?
- 524
- 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:05,879
- Hey! What are you doing?
- 525
- 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,228
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- 526
- 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,958
- Are you insane?
- 527
- 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:10,718
- They need to see me.
- 528
- 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,631
- She's taking off her hazmat suit.
- 529
- 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:16,400
- Is it okay?
- 530
- 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:17,616
- You're risking contamination.
- 531
- 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,073
- They need to see me.
- 532
- 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,633
- Dr. Banks...
- 533
- 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:21,875
- Dr. Banks.
- 534
- 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,269
- She's walking
- towards the screen.
- 535
- 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,718
- Should we abort?
- 536
- 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,234
- Recourse noted.
- Stand by for further orders.
- 537
- 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,959
- Go back to your stations.
- 538
- 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,910
- Now that's a proper introduction. Hey.
- 539
- 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,031
- Louise.
- 540
- 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,158
- I am Louise.
- 541
- 00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:12,471
- Ian, do you want to introduce yourself?
- 542
- 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:16,433
- Uh, yeah.
- 543
- 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,436
- Louise.
- 544
- 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:27,798
- Screw it!
- 545
- 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,636
- Everybody dies, right?
- 546
- 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,836
- Sir, Donnelly is
- taking off his hazmat suit.
- 547
- 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,190
- Permission to abort?
- 548
- 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:42,952
- Continue the session.
- 549
- 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,718
- Ian.
- 550
- 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:02,313
- Louise.
- 551
- 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,432
- You...
- 552
- 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,358
- Who are you?
- 553
- 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,358
- I think those are their names.
- 554
- 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,757
- They have names.
- 555
- 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,149
- So, what are we gonna call them?
- 556
- 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:46,838
- I don't know.
- 557
- 00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,355
- I was thinking Abbott and Costello.
- 558
- 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,752
- Yeah.
- 559
- 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,592
- - Yeah?
- - Yeah, I like it.
- 560
- 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:00,912
- I like it.
- 561
- 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,632
- Wow!
- 562
- 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,269
- Team 1, exit your vehicle
- 563
- 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:21,035
- and proceed directly ahead
- to the decontamination tent.
- 564
- 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,716
- Leave your respirator on until
- you reach the equipment room.
- 565
- 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,599
- I know. Shhh!
- 566
- 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,072
- Team 2, exit your vehicles
- 567
- 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,630
- and continue to
- the decontamination tent.
- 568
- 00:50:13,720 --> 00:50:15,278
- Leave your respirators on
- 569
- 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:16,952
- and do not hesitate
- 570
- 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:18,871
- until you have reached
- the equipment room.
- 571
- 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,473
- How do you feel?
- 572
- 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,317
- Overworked.
- 573
- 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,391
- Well, I guess I don't need to tell you
- 574
- 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:29,959
- you're putting yourself at risk.
- 575
- 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,516
- There's no signs of
- radiation poisoning yet.
- 576
- 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,319
- We'll see how your blood tests look.
- 577
- 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,960
- For now, I'm gonna
- give you another boost.
- 578
- 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:40,439
- Okay.
- 579
- 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,317
- No radiation.
- 580
- 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,072
- Nothing else we can detect either,
- 581
- 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,549
- but I'd give them a strong
- cocktail, regardless.
- 582
- 00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,438
- It's the first time
- we've made significant progress.
- 583
- 00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,994
- All right. We'll take the risk.
- 584
- 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,433
- Okay, honey...
- 585
- 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:57,896
- What is going on there?
- 586
- 00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,069
- Honey...
- 587
- 00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:00,355
- Just tell me!
- 588
- 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,351
- You don't need to worry, okay?
- 589
- 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,113
- - How can I not worry?
- - Just calm down.
- 590
- 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:06,713
- Just calm down.
- 591
- 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,588
- Becky asked me
- if the monsters are going to kill Daddy!
- 592
- 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,274
- Honey, it's not gonna happen.
- 593
- 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,159
- Just stay safe.
- 594
- 00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,639
- You don't need to worry.
- 595
- 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,751
- Please! I'm so scared!
- 596
- 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,791
- All junior xenolinguistics
- 597
- 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,030
- and science personnel must observe
- 598
- 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,759
- general curfew
- unless expressly authorized
- 599
- 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,479
- for extended work hours by unit COs.
- 600
- 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,155
- Curfew in effect as of 2200 hours.
- 601
- 00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:41,838
- Notice to all late workers,
- fire watchers and night staff.
- 602
- 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:46,357
- Effective immediately,
- midnight rations will be served all night.
- 603
- 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,590
- Here are some of the many things
- 604
- 00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:38,711
- we don't know about heptapods.
- 605
- 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,111
- Greek. Hepta, "Seven. " Pod, "Foot."
- 606
- 00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:44,800
- Seven feet. Heptapod.
- 607
- 00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:47,832
- Who are they?
- 608
- 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,753
- Trying to answer this
- in any meaningful way
- 609
- 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,598
- is hampered by the fact that,
- 610
- 00:52:52,720 --> 00:52:55,598
- outside being able to see them
- and hear them,
- 611
- 00:52:55,720 --> 00:52:58,757
- the heptapods leave
- absolutely no footprint.
- 612
- 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:04,029
- The chemical composition of
- their spaceship is unknown.
- 613
- 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,351
- The shell emits no waste,
- no gas, no radiation.
- 614
- 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,671
- Assuming that the shells
- communicate with each other,
- 615
- 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,354
- they do so without detection.
- 616
- 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,954
- The air between the shells is untroubled
- 617
- 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:17,991
- by sonic emission or light wave.
- 618
- 00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,034
- Are they scientists? Or tourists?
- 619
- 00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:23,519
- If they're scientists,
- 620
- 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,909
- they don't seem to ask a lot of questions.
- 621
- 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,269
- Why did they park where they did?
- 622
- 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,870
- The world's most decorated
- experts can't crack that one.
- 623
- 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,552
- The most plausible theory is
- 624
- 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,119
- that they chose places on Earth
- 625
- 00:53:38,240 --> 00:53:40,708
- with the lowest incidence
- of lightning strikes.
- 626
- 00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:42,791
- But there are exceptions.
- 627
- 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,871
- The next most plausible theory is that
- 628
- 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,552
- Sheena Easton had a hit song
- 629
- 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,153
- at each of these sites in 1980.
- 630
- 00:53:48,240 --> 00:53:49,878
- So, we just don't know.
- 631
- 00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,869
- How do they communicate?
- 632
- 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,072
- Here, Louise is putting us all to shame.
- 633
- 00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:59,832
- The first breakthrough was
- 634
- 00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:02,480
- to discover that there's no correlation
- 635
- 00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,309
- between what a heptapod says
- and what a heptapod writes.
- 636
- 00:54:21,240 --> 00:54:23,595
- Unlike all written human languages,
- 637
- 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,194
- their writing is semasiographic.
- 638
- 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,750
- It conveys meaning.
- It doesn't represent sound.
- 639
- 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,390
- Perhaps they view our form of writing
- 640
- 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,789
- as a wasted opportunity,
- 641
- 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,480
- passing up a second
- communications channel.
- 642
- 00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,438
- We have our friends in Pakistan to thank
- 643
- 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,512
- for their study of how heptapods write,
- 644
- 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:56,553
- because unlike speech,
- a logogram is free of time.
- 645
- 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,471
- Like their ship or their bodies,
- 646
- 00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,915
- their written language has no forward
- 647
- 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:05,353
- or backward direction.
- 648
- 00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,319
- Linguists call this
- non-linear orthography,
- 649
- 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,790
- which raises the question,
- "Is this how they think?"
- 650
- 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,751
- Imagine you wanted to write
- a sentence using two hands,
- 651
- 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,398
- starting from either side.
- 652
- 00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,631
- You would have to know
- each word you wanted to use,
- 653
- 00:55:22,720 --> 00:55:25,518
- as well as how much space
- they would occupy.
- 654
- 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:29,796
- A heptapod can write
- a complex sentence
- 655
- 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:31,996
- in two seconds, effortlessly.
- 656
- 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,958
- It's taken us a month
- to make the simplest reply.
- 657
- 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,032
- Next, expanding vocabulary.
- 658
- 00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:39,896
- Louise thinks it could
- easily take another month
- 659
- 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:41,433
- to be ready for that.
- 660
- 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:00,432
- Hey...
- 661
- 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,112
- Oh, hey.
- 662
- 00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:05,390
- Weber's looki ng for you.
- 663
- 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,199
- Yeah, well, why do you think
- I'm hiding out here?
- 664
- 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:11,273
- Come on up!
- 665
- 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:14,793
- Thanks.
- 666
- 00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,755
- Nice out here, huh?
- 667
- 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,195
- Yeah, it's a nice view.
- 668
- 00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,475
- Away from the noise.
- 669
- 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,755
- You know, I was just thinking about you.
- 670
- 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,710
- You approach language
- like a mathematician.
- 671
- 00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,951
- You know that, right?
- 672
- 00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,315
- I will take that as a compliment.
- 673
- 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:41,873
- Yeah, well, it is.
- 674
- 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,908
- As I watch you steer us around
- these communication traps
- 675
- 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,070
- that I didn't even know existed,
- 676
- 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:51,912
- it's like, "What?"
- 677
- 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:55,997
- I guess that's why I'm single.
- 678
- 00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,157
- Trust me, you can
- understand communication
- 679
- 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:00,918
- and still end up single.
- 680
- 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,436
- I feel like everything
- that happens in there
- 681
- 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,636
- comes down to the two of us.
- 682
- 00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,671
- Yeah, that's a good thing though, right?
- 683
- 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,233
- You and I?
- 684
- 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,036
- Have you seen the jokers
- that we're working with?
- 685
- 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:29,673
- Thank God I've got you!
- 686
- 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,188
- Tonight,
- 687
- 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,198
- the first photograph
- of the aliens goes viral.
- 688
- 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,033
- Biological contamination
- is a major risk factor
- 689
- 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:49,394
- at the Montana site.
- 690
- 00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,550
- So say environmental pressure groups.
- 691
- 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:53,477
- 800,000 march on Washington
- 692
- 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,154
- to protest the government's
- handling of the crisis.
- 693
- 00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,038
- All this, and more special coverage.
- 694
- 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:02,976
- First contact with
- whoever it is that is inside that thing,
- 695
- 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,319
- and who's running the show?
- 696
- 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:05,628
- The government.
- 697
- 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,711
- That's right, folks, the same government
- 698
- 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,394
- who ruined our healthcare
- and bankrupted our military.
- 699
- 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:11,549
- Look at these people!
- 700
- 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:13,392
- Most of them don't even have guns!
- 701
- 00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,471
- We could be facing a full-scale invasion.
- 702
- 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:17,312
- Our president's willing to sit back
- 703
- 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,595
- and let them waltz in
- and take our country.
- 704
- 00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,910
- We are falling asleep
- at the wheel, people!
- 705
- 00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,235
- You know what I'm talking
- about. I know you do.
- 706
- 00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,675
- What if the smartest thing
- we could do right now
- 707
- 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:28,591
- would be to give them a show of force?
- 708
- 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,671
- I'm talking about a shot across the bow.
- 709
- 00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:31,760
- What do you think?
- 710
- 00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:33,319
- Caller No.1, you're on the air.
- 711
- 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:34,628
- What do you think?
- 712
- 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,632
- What's this word?
- 713
- 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:20,153
- Planet.
- 714
- 00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,717
- That's, like, um...
- The Earth is a planet.
- 715
- 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,793
- Want to see my project
- for Miss Garriott's class?
- 716
- 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:34,592
- Yeah, little nose.
- 717
- 00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,313
- We had to make up our own TV show.
- 718
- 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,391
- If we had one.
- 719
- 00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:44,000
- And who are those two people?
- 720
- 00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:45,399
- That's you and Dad.
- 721
- 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:46,913
- The show is called
- 722
- 00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,150
- "Mommy and Daddy talk to Animals."
- 723
- 00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,077
- Oh!
- 724
- 00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,151
- Well, it's lovely.
- 725
- 00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:58,633
- Okay...
- 726
- 00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:01,198
- Um...
- 727
- 01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,909
- You know it's okay to be sad
- that your dad and I...
- 728
- 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,513
- I know. I'm not.
- 729
- 01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:10,750
- 'Cause we both love you very much.
- 730
- 01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,434
- I know. It's just a cartoon. It's not real.
- 731
- 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,112
- Louise?
- 732
- 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:20,633
- You all right?
- 733
- 01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,831
- Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
- 734
- 01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:31,032
- I'm not sure it's something
- I can... I can explain.
- 735
- 01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,873
- When was
- your last checkup with Dr. Kettler?
- 736
- 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,718
- I'm okay.
- 737
- 01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,115
- I'm gonna get some air.
- 738
- 01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,236
- - I'm okay.
- - All right.
- 739
- 01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:41,998
- I'm fine. Yep.
- 740
- 01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,429
- How you feeling?
- 741
- 01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,192
- Um...
- 742
- 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:50,917
- I need some sleep, but I'm fine.
- 743
- 01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,353
- Yeah.
- 744
- 01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:55,910
- You know, I was doing
- some reading, um,
- 745
- 01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,433
- about this idea
- 746
- 01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,876
- that if you immerse yourself
- into a foreign language,
- 747
- 01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,554
- then you can actually rewire your brain.
- 748
- 01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:05,551
- The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.
- 749
- 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,591
- Mm-hmm.
- 750
- 01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,318
- The theory that, uh...
- 751
- 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,391
- It... It's the theory that, uh,
- 752
- 01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,198
- the language you speak determines
- 753
- 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:14,679
- how you think and...
- 754
- 01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,228
- Yeah. It affects
- how you see everything.
- 755
- 01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:18,594
- It was, uh...
- 756
- 01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,716
- I'm curious...
- 757
- 01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,308
- Are you dreaming in their language?
- 758
- 01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,157
- I may have had a few dreams,
- but I don't...
- 759
- 01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:41,349
- I don't think that that
- makes me unfit to do this job.
- 760
- 01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:01,829
- Did you sleep?
- 761
- 01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:03,109
- A little.
- 762
- 01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:05,473
- Do you know Mandarin?
- 763
- 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,193
- It is shifting.
- 764
- 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:20,390
- The voice you're about to hear
- 765
- 01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:22,789
- belongs to a Chinese military chief...
- 766
- 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,196
- General Shang.
- 767
- 01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:27,799
- Pull it up!
- 768
- 01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,399
- We got a satellite feed here
- of who he's talking to,
- 769
- 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,391
- if you want to look.
- 770
- 01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:36,993
- Wait, go back.
- 771
- 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:39,998
- Stop.
- 772
- 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:43,916
- He's saying that each of the 12
- 773
- 01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:45,956
- is offering advanced technology.
- 774
- 01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,435
- Go back again. And play.
- 775
- 01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:53,680
- Um...
- 776
- 01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:58,159
- "Our science team
- is attempting to decode the sets."
- 777
- 01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,160
- "Sets." I don't know what that means.
- 778
- 01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:02,832
- Something about advantage,
- 779
- 01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,753
- suits, honor and, uh, flowers.
- 780
- 01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:07,398
- I don't...
- 781
- 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,356
- I don't know. That's all.
- 782
- 01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,829
- I don't know what it means either.
- 783
- 01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,309
- An hour ago, China mobilized forces.
- 784
- 01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,834
- And now, Russia's following suit.
- 785
- 01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,275
- Shang's about to start something.
- 786
- 01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,351
- Following suit. Suits.
- 787
- 01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,033
- Suits, honor, flowers...
- 788
- 01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,873
- Colonel, those are
- all tile sets in mah-jongg.
- 789
- 01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:33,477
- God, are they...
- 790
- 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,757
- Are they using a game
- to converse with their heptapods?
- 791
- 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,390
- Maybe. Why?
- 792
- 01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,910
- Well, let's say that
- I taught them chess instead of English.
- 793
- 01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,036
- Every conversation would be a game.
- 794
- 01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,192
- Every idea expressed through
- opposition, victory, defeat.
- 795
- 01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:50,594
- You see the problem?
- 796
- 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,398
- Hmm...
- 797
- 01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:54,710
- If all I ever gave you was a hammer...
- 798
- 01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:56,677
- Everything's a nail.
- 799
- 01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:00,475
- We need to ask the big question.
- 800
- 01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:03,318
- Ready or not.
- 801
- 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,390
- Yeah, I know,
- but between there and there.
- 802
- 01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:22,310
- Well, it's time to go.
- 803
- 01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:45,677
- Okay...
- 804
- 01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,155
- Heptapods' purpose.
- 805
- 01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:05,315
- Heptapod purpose Earth.
- What is your purpose?
- 806
- 01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,430
- Do we only have Costello?
- 807
- 01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:21,829
- Okay. There you are.
- 808
- 01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:44,793
- What does it say?
- 809
- 01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,072
- Offer weapon.
- 810
- 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:01,155
- You saw what they wrote!
- 811
- 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:02,576
- Using a word they don't fully understand.
- 812
- 01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:04,192
- - Could be a request.
- - A warning.
- 813
- 01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,192
- Enough! Louise?
- 814
- 01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:09,316
- We don't know if they understand
- 815
- 01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:12,034
- the difference between
- a weapon and a tool.
- 816
- 01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:13,997
- Our language, like our culture, is messy,
- 817
- 01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:15,872
- and sometimes, one can be both.
- 818
- 01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:17,313
- And it's quite possible
- 819
- 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,670
- that they're asking us
- to offer them something,
- 820
- 01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:21,153
- not the other way around.
- 821
- 01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,350
- It's like the first part of a trade.
- 822
- 01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,317
- So, how do we clarify their intentions
- 823
- 01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:26,759
- beyond those two words?
- 824
- 01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:27,840
- Well, I go back in.
- 825
- 01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:29,837
- Right away, we go back in
- and we clear this up.
- 826
- 01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:31,558
- It's more complicated than that.
- 827
- 01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:34,029
- How is it more complicated than that?
- 828
- 01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,509
- Colonel, the Secretary of Defense
- 829
- 01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,153
- is on the line for you.
- 830
- 01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:46,791
- We need to sit on this information
- 831
- 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:48,319
- till we know what it means,
- 832
- 01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,271
- so we aren't sharing it with our enemies.
- 833
- 01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:51,759
- We must consider the idea
- 834
- 01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:53,936
- that our visitors are prodding us
- to fight among ourselves
- 835
- 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,394
- until only one faction prevails.
- 836
- 01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,391
- - There's no evidence of that.
- - Sure there is.
- 837
- 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,869
- Just grab a history book.
- 838
- 01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:04,595
- The British with India,
- the Germans with Rwanda.
- 839
- 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,114
- They even got a name for it in Hungary.
- 840
- 01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:16,595
- Yeah. We're a world
- with no single leader.
- 841
- 01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,376
- It's impossible to
- deal with just one of us.
- 842
- 01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:20,755
- And with the word "weapon" now...
- 843
- 01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:24,515
- Halpern. Yes, sir!
- 844
- 01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:45,790
- No confirmation yet. Standing by.
- 845
- 01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:49,839
- Anything? What did they say?
- 846
- 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:52,496
- China and Russia are off the grid.
- 847
- 01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:53,794
- They aren't speaking to anyone.
- 848
- 01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:57,509
- Whatever they learned
- in their last session has them spooked.
- 849
- 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:00,599
- Yes, sir!
- 850
- 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:02,472
- We have orders to do the same.
- 851
- 01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:03,709
- These are our allies!
- 852
- 01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:04,955
- You can't shut us down!
- 853
- 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:06,712
- - Put us on radio silence.
- - Do it.
- 854
- 01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:10,389
- We received a message
- from the hept... Damn it!
- 855
- 01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:12,952
- We need to be talking to each other!
- 856
- 01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,753
- You want to talk to them?
- Find out what this means.
- 857
- 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:22,956
- Base-camp talk is now offline.
- 858
- 01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,355
- All interpreters and
- international liaisons,
- 859
- 01:09:25,440 --> 01:09:29,035
- stand down and
- report to unit coordinators.
- 860
- 01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,559
- We've never
- re-entered a session before.
- 861
- 01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:36,234
- Louise, trust me, okay?
- We've got time.
- 862
- 01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,516
- We've just gotta step on it, all right?
- 863
- 01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:40,556
- "Use weapon."
- 864
- 01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:41,959
- This is the alien message
- 865
- 01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,310
- said to have provoked
- the Chinese government
- 866
- 01:09:44,440 --> 01:09:46,078
- to withdraw their scientists from
- 867
- 01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:47,753
- the international mission today.
- 868
- 01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,075
- In a statement, General Shang said,
- 869
- 01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,276
- "China no longer trusts the aliens
- 870
- 01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:53,719
- "who want to divide us.
- 871
- 01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:56,473
- "Humanity must be protected."
- 872
- 01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,273
- China has asked for immediate
- talks at the UN.
- 873
- 01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,071
- Alpha-one-niner,
- 874
- 01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:05,673
- this is Condor, over.
- 875
- 01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:13,796
- Alpha-one-niner,
- this is Condor, come in. Over.
- 876
- 01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,312
- Captain Marks, Condor
- not receiving transmission.
- 877
- 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,596
- Squelch twice if you hear line.
- 878
- 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,352
- Captain Marks, all escort units
- 879
- 01:10:26,480 --> 01:10:28,277
- are ordered to cease all activity.
- 880
- 01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,149
- No, no, no.
- Dr. Banks, you can't go in there.
- 881
- 01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:03,157
- I just need to ask one question.
- 882
- 01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,276
- Dr. Banks!
- The session is finished.
- 883
- 01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:07,590
- You can't... You can't go
- back in. It's dangerous.
- 884
- 01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:09,576
- Look, we just need
- five minutes. Don't sweat it.
- 885
- 01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:11,352
- Marks, let them go.
- 886
- 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,037
- Hey, Abbott!
- 887
- 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,112
- So, what are we calling this?
- Session 37?
- 888
- 01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:26,668
- Uh, no, 36, part 2.
- 889
- 01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:35,632
- Why are they on their own?
- 890
- 01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,029
- We've been attempting
- to hail Captain Marks.
- 891
- 01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:39,872
- The escort units are not responding, sir.
- 892
- 01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:43,032
- Why not? Send security.
- 893
- 01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:50,109
- "Offer weapon, question mark."
- 894
- 01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,629
- Are you offering us something?
- 895
- 01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,232
- Technology, apparatus, method?
- 896
- 01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,470
- Yeah, see, this is a different word.
- 897
- 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,313
- This... This segment, it's a lot busier.
- 898
- 01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:23,195
- Give technology
- 899
- 01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:26,192
- now.
- 900
- 01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:36,676
- What's he doing?
- 901
- 01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:43,597
- Captain, on your ten.
- 902
- 01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:54,716
- Security detail inbound, sir.
- 903
- 01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,439
- T-minus 4 minutes remaining.
- We need to see this through.
- 904
- 01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:59,551
- Okay, this is it.
- Lock and load.
- 905
- 01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:01,870
- We just need to
- hold them off until it's done.
- 906
- 01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,474
- Copy that.
- Warning shots and suppressive fire only.
- 907
- 01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:05,896
- Load up and get to cover.
- 908
- 01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,070
- Stay frosty and we can avoid casualties.
- 909
- 01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,148
- Abbott wants me to write on the barrier.
- 910
- 01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:43,951
- Can you even do that?
- 911
- 01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:46,957
- I don't know.
- 912
- 01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:04,671
- I can't do it with both hands.
- 913
- 01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:17,832
- Louise...
- 914
- 01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:34,348
- What is that?
- 915
- 01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,479
- Hey!
- Hey, hey, hey. Take it easy.
- 916
- 01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:25,313
- You suffered a concussion.
- Just lay back.
- 917
- 01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:30,390
- How do you feel?
- 918
- 01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:39,999
- How is Ian?
- 919
- 01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:42,275
- Same as you. He's okay.
- 920
- 01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,359
- Who, um... Who did this?
- 921
- 01:16:46,440 --> 01:16:48,192
- Ah, some soldiers.
- 922
- 01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:50,510
- They've been watching too much TV.
- 923
- 01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:55,112
- What is that?
- 924
- 01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:56,599
- Take it easy. Take it easy.
- 925
- 01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:01,272
- The site's no longer secure.
- We're standing by to evacuate.
- 926
- 01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:03,271
- Where's Ian?
- 927
- 01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:06,272
- Weber came and got him
- maybe 10 minutes ago.
- 928
- 01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:09,113
- He wouldn't leave until
- he knew you were okay.
- 929
- 01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:13,873
- Your whole tent is on the clock
- 930
- 01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:16,713
- to figure out whatever it is
- you were given up there.
- 931
- 01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:23,959
- This is all of it?
- 932
- 01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,554
- The feed wasn't interrupted
- by the explosion?
- 933
- 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,036
- Not as far as I can see.
- 934
- 01:17:31,480 --> 01:17:32,879
- You see something?
- 935
- 01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:34,473
- Oh, I don't know yet.
- 936
- 01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:37,393
- I'm gonna need my team to get
- together with Louise's team.
- 937
- 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:39,078
- I need everybody working on this.
- 938
- 01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:40,559
- We cannot leave.
- 939
- 01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:42,079
- Glad to see you're awake.
- 940
- 01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:44,913
- We need to go back in
- and explain this wasn't our fault.
- 941
- 01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:46,996
- - We can't go back inside.
- - We have to.
- 942
- 01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:49,389
- What happened in there was an attack.
- 943
- 01:17:49,480 --> 01:17:50,480
- We can hope for the best,
- 944
- 01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:52,056
- but I have orders to
- prepare for retaliation.
- 945
- 01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:53,513
- We may have to evacuate.
- 946
- 01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:54,640
- No, that's the wrong move.
- 947
- 01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:56,915
- As long as they stay, we have to stay.
- 948
- 01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:33,111
- Well, they're not leaving.
- 949
- 01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:36,952
- Why does this feel worse?
- 950
- 01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:43,636
- China is on the offensive.
- 951
- 01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:45,392
- They're positioning the military
- 952
- 01:18:45,480 --> 01:18:47,216
- to blow the alien vessel
- right out of the sky.
- 953
- 01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:48,719
- And if this happens,
- 954
- 01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:50,456
- we can't sit around
- waiting for retaliation.
- 955
- 01:18:50,480 --> 01:18:52,072
- So, get prepared.
- 956
- 01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:55,314
- The Air Force and infantry
- are standing by.
- 957
- 01:18:55,440 --> 01:18:56,440
- Yes, sir.
- 958
- 01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,629
- Tonight, China becomes
- the first world power
- 959
- 01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:04,393
- to declare war against the aliens.
- 960
- 01:19:04,480 --> 01:19:07,074
- Following the failure of diplomatic efforts
- 961
- 01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:08,673
- at the United Nations,
- 962
- 01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:11,752
- China has confirmed that its
- language experts have tonight
- 963
- 01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:14,513
- delivered an ultimatum
- at the Shanghai site.
- 964
- 01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:15,999
- In a televised statement,
- 965
- 01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:19,078
- General Shang, chairman of
- the People's Liberation Army,
- 966
- 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:22,835
- said the aliens have 24 hours
- to leave Chinese territory
- 967
- 01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:24,279
- or face destruction.
- 968
- 01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:26,510
- And he urged all other world leaders
- 969
- 01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:29,677
- to unite with China
- and take a similar stance.
- 970
- 01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:34,195
- With a huge buildup of forces
- at their landing sites,
- 971
- 01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:37,039
- Pakistan, Russia and Sudan
- are thought to be
- 972
- 01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:38,678
- following China's lead.
- 973
- 01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:56,351
- It can't be random.
- 974
- 01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,994
- It's going to take us years.
- 975
- 01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:20,996
- What's this term here?
- 976
- 01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:25,991
- Mom...
- 977
- 01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:30,119
- Mom...
- 978
- 01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:31,753
- Hmm? Sweetie...
- 979
- 01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:33,990
- Uh, what's this term for that thing,
- 980
- 01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:35,991
- like a... Like a technical term,
- 981
- 01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:37,593
- where we make a deal,
- 982
- 01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:39,671
- and we both get something out of it.
- 983
- 01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:41,512
- A compromise.
- 984
- 01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:42,919
- No...
- 985
- 01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,195
- Like, it's a competition.
- 986
- 01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:46,872
- Mm-hmm...
- 987
- 01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:48,558
- But both sides end up happy.
- 988
- 01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:51,233
- Like a win-win.
- 989
- 01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,470
- More science-y than that.
- 990
- 01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:56,597
- If you want science, call your father.
- 991
- 01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:12,279
- Thank you.
- 992
- 01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:24,752
- Sorry.
- 993
- 01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:26,114
- It's okay.
- 994
- 01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:28,077
- I'm up.
- 995
- 01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:33,553
- What time is it?
- 996
- 01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:37,878
- It's time you opened that
- bottle you've been hiding.
- 997
- 01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:44,234
- You cracked something, didn't you?
- 998
- 01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:45,548
- Yeah. Come here.
- 999
- 01:21:47,480 --> 01:21:49,038
- Take a look at this section.
- 1000
- 01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:51,839
- It seems to be talking about time.
- 1001
- 01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:54,480
- Their symbol for time is everywhere.
- 1002
- 01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:56,073
- So what is this?
- 1003
- 01:21:57,480 --> 01:22:00,677
- A formula for faster-than-light travel?
- 1004
- 01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:02,830
- Who can tell?
- 1005
- 01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:04,478
- There are too many gaps.
- 1006
- 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:06,073
- Nothing's complete.
- 1007
- 01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:07,673
- Then it dawned on me.
- 1008
- 01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:09,239
- Come here.
- 1009
- 01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,038
- Right here.
- 1010
- 01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:15,954
- Stop focusing on the ones.
- Look at the zeroes.
- 1011
- 01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:17,951
- How much of this is data?
- 1012
- 01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:20,679
- How much of it is negative space?
- 1013
- 01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:22,637
- So, I measured it.
- 1014
- 01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,714
- 0.0833 recurring.
- 1015
- 01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:35,114
- Perhaps you'd like that as a fraction.
- 1016
- 01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:39,991
- One of twelve.
- 1017
- 01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:46,230
- What they're saying right here
- is that this is one of 12.
- 1018
- 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:48,151
- "We are part of a larger whole."
- 1019
- 01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:50,435
- Or we're one of 12 contestants
- for the prize.
- 1020
- 01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:51,873
- Why do I have to talk to him?
- 1021
- 01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:53,399
- We're all working together.
- 1022
- 01:22:53,480 --> 01:22:55,755
- We need to talk to the other sites,
- 1023
- 01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:58,354
- help them with what they've
- gotten from the heptapods.
- 1024
- 01:22:58,440 --> 01:22:59,634
- We're blacked out.
- 1025
- 01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:01,915
- China just threatened
- to destroy their shell.
- 1026
- 01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:03,069
- We're on our own.
- 1027
- 01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:04,976
- But this says that all of
- the pieces fit together.
- 1028
- 01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:06,831
- And I'm telling you
- that no one else cares.
- 1029
- 01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:08,475
- Two hours ago,
- 1030
- 01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:10,630
- we pulled this audio off
- a secure channel in Russia.
- 1031
- 01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:13,393
- Someone on the science team
- there was broadcasting wide.
- 1032
- 01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:18,508
- In their final session, the aliens said,
- 1033
- 01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:21,672
- "There is no time. Many become one."
- 1034
- 01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:24,274
- I fear we have all been given weapons.
- 1035
- 01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:28,035
- If anyone is receiving this, please...
- 1036
- 01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:35,599
- Well, I mean,
- 1037
- 01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:38,119
- there are a lot of ways
- 1038
- 01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:39,593
- you can interpret what he said.
- 1039
- 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:41,720
- I don't need an interpreter
- to know what this means.
- 1040
- 01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:43,870
- Russia just executed
- one of their own experts
- 1041
- 01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:45,154
- to keep their secret.
- 1042
- 01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:47,754
- "Many become one"
- could just be their way of saying
- 1043
- 01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:49,558
- "some assembly required."
- 1044
- 01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:51,392
- Why hand it out to us in pieces?
- 1045
- 01:23:51,480 --> 01:23:53,198
- Why not just give it all over?
- 1046
- 01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,510
- What better way to force us
- to work together for once?
- 1047
- 01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:57,908
- Even if I did believe you,
- 1048
- 01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,719
- how in the world are you gonna
- get anybody else to play along
- 1049
- 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:02,711
- and give up their data?
- 1050
- 01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,075
- We offer ours in return.
- 1051
- 01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:06,639
- Yeah?
- 1052
- 01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:08,119
- A trade?
- 1053
- 01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:09,713
- It's a non-zero-sum game.
- 1054
- 01:24:12,440 --> 01:24:15,034
- Non-zero-sum game.
- 1055
- 01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:17,990
- That's it. Yeah.
- 1056
- 01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:19,911
- Thanks.
- 1057
- 01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:28,119
- Nine of the landing sites
- have gone
- 1058
- 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:29,428
- total comms blackout.
- 1059
- 01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:31,520
- Only way to reach them
- is to physically drive there
- 1060
- 01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:33,989
- and yell at the border guards,
- which we're doing,
- 1061
- 01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:35,354
- but it won't be fast enough.
- 1062
- 01:24:35,440 --> 01:24:37,829
- There must be a way
- to get the message to them.
- 1063
- 01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:40,832
- To our allies, maybe,
- but it's too little too late.
- 1064
- 01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:43,434
- What we need is to get
- all the other nations online
- 1065
- 01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:45,431
- before one starts global war.
- 1066
- 01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:47,476
- And there's no way for us to reach them.
- 1067
- 01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,592
- Okay, hold on a second. There is!
- 1068
- 01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:52,159
- It's right above us.
- 1069
- 01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:55,640
- That's problematic
- for us right now.
- 1070
- 01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,752
- The Pentagon's convinced
- our shell will retaliate.
- 1071
- 01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:01,957
- My guess is they'll order us
- to evacuate within the hour.
- 1072
- 01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:03,792
- Look, they're not our enemy.
- 1073
- 01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:05,996
- They've made no act of
- aggression towards us.
- 1074
- 01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:08,200
- Maybe this is
- their way of being aggressive.
- 1075
- 01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:09,719
- That's not the question.
- 1076
- 01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:11,392
- What is the question?
- 1077
- 01:25:11,480 --> 01:25:13,710
- How do we get you
- back in that room
- 1078
- 01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:15,438
- when it's half a mile straight up?
- 1079
- 01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:17,272
- I think our work here is done.
- 1080
- 01:25:18,480 --> 01:25:21,278
- It's in the hands of our superiors now.
- 1081
- 01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:42,990
- What the hell is she doing?
- 1082
- 01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:38,758
- Oh, my God! Oh, God, no!
- 1083
- 01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:01,272
- Costello...
- 1084
- 01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:05,717
- Where's Abbott?
- 1085
- 01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:36,872
- I'm sorry.
- 1086
- 01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:41,076
- We're sorry.
- 1087
- 01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:47,029
- I need you to...
- 1088
- 01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:51,432
- I need you to send a message
- to the other sites.
- 1089
- 01:30:10,480 --> 01:30:11,993
- I don't...
- 1090
- 01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:14,071
- I don't understand.
- 1091
- 01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:18,199
- What is your purpose here?
- 1092
- 01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:47,160
- How can you know the future?
- 1093
- 01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:05,195
- I don't...
- 1094
- 01:31:06,680 --> 01:31:10,753
- I don't understand. Who is this child?
- 1095
- 01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:17,598
- The show is called
- 1096
- 01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:20,188
- "Mommy and Daddy talk to Animals."
- 1097
- 01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:57,030
- Wait! No! Wait!
- 1098
- 01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:47,712
- - Dr. Banks!
- - Louise!
- 1099
- 01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:49,472
- Are you all right?
- 1100
- 01:32:52,480 --> 01:32:54,436
- - You all right?
- - Yeah. I'm all right.
- 1101
- 01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:55,953
- What happened?
- 1102
- 01:32:56,040 --> 01:32:58,349
- I'm trying to figure it out.
- This is too big.
- 1103
- 01:32:58,440 --> 01:33:00,908
- Doesn't matter now.
- We have orders to evacuate.
- 1104
- 01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:02,194
- Why?
- 1105
- 01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:04,316
- Russia and Sudan are following China.
- 1106
- 01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:08,349
- I don't understand.
- 1107
- 01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:09,669
- Help me, Mama.
- 1108
- 01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:13,188
- Louise? Whoa!
- 1109
- 01:33:13,440 --> 01:33:14,475
- Mom!
- 1110
- 01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:18,799
- Mama!
- 1111
- 01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:23,196
- Sorry, honey.
- 1112
- 01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:28,355
- What day is it? Do you know, baby?
- 1113
- 01:33:28,480 --> 01:33:30,198
- Sunday.
- 1114
- 01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:38,671
- Are you gonna leave me like Daddy did?
- 1115
- 01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:42,355
- Oh, Hannah, honey,
- your daddy didn't leave you.
- 1116
- 01:33:42,480 --> 01:33:44,516
- You're gonna see him this weekend.
- 1117
- 01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:48,713
- He doesn't look at me
- the same way anymore.
- 1118
- 01:33:56,960 --> 01:33:58,871
- It's my fault.
- 1119
- 01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:04,031
- I told him something that
- he wasn't ready to hear.
- 1120
- 01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:07,552
- What?
- 1121
- 01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:11,317
- Well...
- 1122
- 01:34:11,400 --> 01:34:13,709
- Believe it or not,
- 1123
- 01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:16,473
- I know something that's going to happen.
- 1124
- 01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:21,233
- I can't explain how I know. I just do.
- 1125
- 01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:26,077
- And when I told your daddy,
- he got really mad.
- 1126
- 01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:30,400
- And he said I made the wrong choice.
- 1127
- 01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:36,037
- What? What's going to happen?
- 1128
- 01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:42,878
- It has to do with a really rare disease.
- 1129
- 01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:47,995
- And it's unstoppable.
- 1130
- 01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:52,120
- Kind of like you are,
- 1131
- 01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:55,789
- with your swimming and your poetry
- 1132
- 01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:57,518
- and all the other amazing things
- 1133
- 01:34:57,600 --> 01:34:59,352
- that you share with the world.
- 1134
- 01:34:59,440 --> 01:35:00,998
- I'm unstoppable?
- 1135
- 01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:03,752
- Yeah.
- 1136
- 01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:21,631
- I got you.
- 1137
- 01:35:23,440 --> 01:35:26,477
- Louise? Louise?
- 1138
- 01:35:28,440 --> 01:35:31,034
- I just realized why my husband left me.
- 1139
- 01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:32,639
- My husband left me.
- 1140
- 01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:34,279
- You were married?
- 1141
- 01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:36,874
- Come on! Let's get out of here.
- 1142
- 01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:12,673
- Mama?
- 1143
- 01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:14,199
- Yeah?
- 1144
- 01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:16,788
- Why's my name Hannah?
- 1145
- 01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:21,633
- Get those people back, please.
- 1146
- 01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,473
- Well, your name is very special,
- 1147
- 01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:26,710
- because it is a palindrome.
- 1148
- 01:36:26,880 --> 01:36:30,509
- It reads the same forward and backward.
- 1149
- 01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:33,149
- All right, guys,
- give me a hand here.
- 1150
- 01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:35,196
- - Yes, sir.
- - That goes in the bag.
- 1151
- 01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:41,198
- Ready to go!
- 1152
- 01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:03,752
- Evacuation underway.
- 1153
- 01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:08,194
- Hey...
- 1154
- 01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:12,319
- We're done here!
- We're taking this with us.
- 1155
- 01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:38,917
- I can read it.
- 1156
- 01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:44,637
- - I know what it is.
- - What?
- 1157
- 01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:47,274
- It's not a weapon. It's a gift.
- 1158
- 01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:49,271
- The weapon is their language.
- 1159
- 01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:51,590
- They gave it to us.
- Do you know what that means?
- 1160
- 01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:54,752
- So we can learn Heptapod. If we survive.
- 1161
- 01:37:54,840 --> 01:37:57,479
- If you learn it, when you really learn it,
- 1162
- 01:37:57,640 --> 01:37:59,949
- you begin to perceive time
- the way that they do,
- 1163
- 01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:03,077
- so you can see what's to come.
- 1164
- 01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:05,151
- But time, it isn't the same for them.
- 1165
- 01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:07,510
- It's non-linear.
- 1166
- 01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:10,154
- Look, we did our best,
- but it wasn't enough.
- 1167
- 01:38:11,480 --> 01:38:12,833
- The captain will load you up.
- 1168
- 01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:14,552
- You're lifting off in 5 minutes.
- 1169
- 01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:18,758
- Ian, Louise, it was
- an honor to work with you.
- 1170
- 01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:20,876
- Good luck.
- 1171
- 01:38:24,480 --> 01:38:26,311
- Hey, Colonel...
- 1172
- 01:38:32,840 --> 01:38:35,195
- I'm gonna find out where we're going.
- 1173
- 01:38:42,720 --> 01:38:44,836
- Wake up, Mommy!
- 1174
- 01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:22,078
- Dr. Banks...
- 1175
- 01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:24,952
- A pleasure.
- 1176
- 01:39:25,040 --> 01:39:28,715
- General Shang,
- the pleasure is mine, really.
- 1177
- 01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:30,836
- Your president said
- 1178
- 01:39:30,920 --> 01:39:34,117
- he was honored to host me
- at the celebration...
- 1179
- 01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:35,872
- Yeah.
- 1180
- 01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:38,992
- ...but I confess,
- the only reason why I'm here
- 1181
- 01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:42,709
- is to meet you in person.
- 1182
- 01:39:44,120 --> 01:39:47,192
- Me? Well, I'm flattered. Thank you.
- 1183
- 01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:50,075
- 18 months ago,
- 1184
- 01:39:50,200 --> 01:39:52,714
- you did something remarkable,
- 1185
- 01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:56,873
- something not even
- my superior has done.
- 1186
- 01:39:58,240 --> 01:39:59,878
- And what's that?
- 1187
- 01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:01,638
- You changed my mind.
- 1188
- 01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:07,952
- You're the reason for this unification,
- 1189
- 01:40:08,480 --> 01:40:12,439
- all because you reached out to me
- at my private number.
- 1190
- 01:40:14,440 --> 01:40:16,635
- Your private number?
- 1191
- 01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:19,069
- General, I... I don't know
- your private number.
- 1192
- 01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:27,072
- Now you know.
- 1193
- 01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:31,757
- I do not claim to know
- how your mind works,
- 1194
- 01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:36,596
- but I believe it was important
- for you to see that.
- 1195
- 01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:40,118
- I called you, didn't I?
- 1196
- 01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:43,635
- Yes, you did.
- 1197
- 01:40:54,480 --> 01:40:56,072
- Louise!
- 1198
- 01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:15,039
- All right,
- let's shut down the system.
- 1199
- 01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:18,835
- Sir? There's a sat line
- here dialing China.
- 1200
- 01:41:20,640 --> 01:41:22,676
- Here? What do you mean "here"?
- 1201
- 01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:27,070
- Come on, come on!
- 1202
- 01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:29,151
- Whose phone is it?
- 1203
- 01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:34,798
- It's your phone, sir.
- 1204
- 01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:43,553
- Search base camp now.
- 1205
- 01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:45,875
- Find out who's using that phone.
- 1206
- 01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:47,672
- And hold on to those coordinates.
- 1207
- 01:41:47,800 --> 01:41:48,869
- Yes, sir.
- 1208
- 01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:51,235
- Come on... What do I say?
- 1209
- 01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:53,832
- What do I say?
- 1210
- 01:42:04,720 --> 01:42:06,233
- Come on.
- 1211
- 01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:09,957
- I will never forget what you said.
- 1212
- 01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:24,309
- You told me my wife's dying words.
- 1213
- 01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:42,896
- We found the source
- of the phone call.
- 1214
- 01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:45,080
- It's in the clean room.
- We're waiting for instructions.
- 1215
- 01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:49,917
- What are you doing?
- 1216
- 01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:52,076
- - What are you doing?
- - Changing someone's mind.
- 1217
- 01:42:52,200 --> 01:42:54,176
- - Can you buy me 20 seconds?
- - We don't have time for this.
- 1218
- 01:42:54,200 --> 01:42:55,599
- No, trust me. Buy me 20 seconds.
- 1219
- 01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:57,711
- - Do you trust me?
- - Okay. Yeah.
- 1220
- 01:43:00,960 --> 01:43:04,589
- Dr. Banks, drop the phone
- now or we shoot!
- 1221
- 01:43:07,920 --> 01:43:09,114
- Drop it!
- 1222
- 01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:10,309
- I'm sorry!
- 1223
- 01:43:11,960 --> 01:43:14,793
- You are committing
- an act of treason!
- 1224
- 01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:21,996
- - Yes.
- - Drop it!
- 1225
- 01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:23,672
- It's done. I'm done.
- 1226
- 01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:41,868
- ...blackout from all 12 landing sites
- 1227
- 01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:43,439
- continues this evening.
- 1228
- 01:43:43,520 --> 01:43:45,317
- Hold on, we are just hearing...
- 1229
- 01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:47,834
- I'm being told
- we're going to cut this report
- 1230
- 01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:49,399
- to tell you breaking news...
- 1231
- 01:43:49,480 --> 01:43:52,358
- ...China has called
- an emergency press conference...

- ...all intelligence they've received
- 1237
- 01:44:01,920 --> 01:44:04,514
- will be shared immediately
- with the other landing sites.
- 1238
- 01:44:04,600 --> 01:44:07,637
- Scientists from around the world
- are sifting through information
- 1239
- 01:44:07,760 --> 01:44:09,159
- received from the UK, Japan,
- 1240
- 01:44:09,240 --> 01:44:10,559

- ...the information they have acquired
- 1242
- 01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:14,352
- from both of their landing sites...
- 1243
- 01:44:14,440 --> 01:44:16,635
- Also confirming it to be
- one of the 12 pieces
- 1244
- 01:44:16,720 --> 01:44:19,029
- of this puzzle that is
- being slowly put together.
- 1245
- 01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:10,629
- So, Hannah,
- 1246
- 01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:14,913
- this is where your story begins.
- 1247
- 01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:19,036
- The day they departed.
- 1248
- 01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:24,592
- You al I rig ht?
- 1249
- 01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:32,356
- Despite knowing the journey
- and where it leads,
- 1250
- 01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:37,236
- I embrace it.
- 1251
- 01:46:39,080 --> 01:46:42,516
- And I welcome every moment of it.
- 1252
- 01:46:43,520 --> 01:46:46,637
- Ooh! Ah! Ooh!
- 1253
- 01:46:57,400 --> 01:47:01,916

- You ready, baby?

- Hi!

- Don't worry. See you.
- 1260
- 01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:36,713
- Daddy!

- Oh, guess what? Star stuff!

- 01:48:01,480 --> 01:48:03,869
- - Ian?
- - Yeah?
- 1265
- 01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:07,629
- If you could see your whole life
- from start to finish,
- 1266
- 01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:11,910
- would you change things?
- 1267
- 01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:21,993
- Maybe I'd say
- what I feel more often.
- 1268
- 01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:23,718
- I... I don't know.
- 1269
- 01:48:39,280 --> 01:48:41,840
- You know, I've had my head
- tilted up to the stars
- 1270
- 01:48:41,920 --> 01:48:43,512
- for as long as I can remember.
- 1271
- 01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:48,554
- You know what surprised me the most?
- 1272
- 01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:52,430
- It wasn't meeting them.
- 1273
- 01:48:57,240 --> 01:48:59,435
- It was meeting you.
- 1274
- 01:49:39,440 --> 01:49:43,274
- I forgot how good it
- felt to be held by you.
- 1275
- 01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:54,311
- You wanna make a baby?
- 1276
- 01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:31,194
- Yes. Yeah.
