Thank God Almighty, |

Hi-yo, Silver! |
| 00:01:57 |
...1941... |
| 00:01:59 |
...a date which |
| 00:02:07 |
We bring you the |
| 00:02:09 |
our Maxwell House |
| 00:02:11 |
Good evening, |

America, and all |
| 00:02:20 |
The only thing we have |

CQ... |

CQ, this is W-9 |
| 00:03:45 |
CQ... |
| 00:03:46 |
...this is W-9 GFO here. |
| 00:03:50 |
Come back? |
| 00:03:55 |
CQ, this is W-9 GFO. |
| 00:04:00 |
Not getting anything. |
| 00:04:02 |
Small moves, Ellie. |

Small moves. |

Copy, W-9 GFO. |

K-4 WLD here. |
| 00:04:17 |
What do I say? |
| 00:04:19 |
Just be yourself. |
| 00:04:21 |
Where are you, |
| 00:04:24 |
Pensacola. Over. |
| 00:04:25 |
Pensacola, where's Pensacola? |
| 00:04:27 |
I'll give you a hint. |
| 00:04:29 |
Orange juice. |
| 00:04:33 |
Copy that, K-4 WLD. How's the |
| 00:04:38 |
Pensacola, Florida. |
| 00:04:41 |
I have to tell you, Sparks. |
| 00:04:44 |
1,116 miles. |
| 00:04:47 |
Pretty good. |
| 00:04:49 |
That's the farthest yet. |
| 00:05:03 |
Can we hear all |
| 00:05:05 |
Sure. |
| 00:05:08 |
Can we hear all the |
| 00:05:10 |
I don't see why not. |
| 00:05:13 |
Can we hear all |
| 00:05:15 |
On a really clear day. |
| 00:05:17 |
Can we hear all |
| 00:05:20 |
On a really, really clear day. |
| 00:05:24 |
Could we talk to the moon? |
| 00:05:27 |
If it's a big enough |
| 00:05:30 |
Could we talk to Jupiter? |
| 00:05:32 |
Or what's the one after that? |
| 00:05:35 |
Don't tell me. |
| 00:05:39 |
I'll give you a hint. |
| 00:05:41 |
Hula-Hoops. |
| 00:05:42 |
Saturn! Could we |
| 00:05:50 |
Dad, could we talk to Mom? |
| 00:05:58 |
I don't think even the biggest |
| 00:06:06 |
All right, no more stalling. |
| 00:06:13 |
Pensacola! |
| 00:06:22 |
That's a beauty. |
| 00:06:25 |
Now get some sleep. |
| 00:06:35 |
Hey, Dad? |
| 00:06:37 |
Do you think there's |
| 00:06:40 |
I don't know, Sparks. |
| 00:06:43 |
But I guess I'd say... |
| 00:06:46 |
...if it is just us... |
| 00:06:49 |
...it seems like an |
| 00:07:11 |
CQ, this is W-9 GFO. |
| 00:07:13 |
Repeat. This is |
| 00:07:24 |
I'm going to need |
| 00:07:53 |
What do you think, Doc Arroway? |
| 00:07:55 |
Isn't she a beauty? |
| 00:08:01 |
It'll do. |
| 00:08:02 |
The village is five miles away. |
| 00:08:04 |
There's a general |
| 00:08:06 |
They can order |
| 00:08:09 |
When can I get dish time? |
| 00:08:10 |
Dr. Clark said you couldn't |
| 00:08:12 |
wait. Your first |
| 00:09:10 |
Go back. |
| 00:09:13 |
Try back a little bit. |
| 00:09:17 |
There! |
| 00:09:19 |
- Right there? |
| 00:09:20 |
- You hear it? Right |
| 00:09:22 |
All right, 1221.46. That's |
| 00:09:26 |
Check off-axis. |
| 00:09:28 |
On it. |
| 00:09:31 |
It's not in the neighborhood. |
| 00:09:41 |
Here it is. J-1741... |

...+ 2748. |

Catalogued November |

Must've been the glitch in |
| 00:09:55 |
Must've been a starquake. |
| 00:09:58 |
I think it's great that you |
| 00:09:59 |
listen. Most don't |
| 00:10:02 |
It's just an old habit. |
| 00:10:05 |
Ellie. |

Kent Clark. |
| 00:10:10 |
They said you'd been... |
| 00:10:12 |
...up at Owen's Valley |
| 00:10:15 |
How'd you like him? |
| 00:10:19 |
That much? About |
| 00:10:21 |
after what he had |
| 00:10:24 |
And what was that? |
| 00:10:26 |
That you are brilliant... |
| 00:10:28 |
...driven... |
| 00:10:29 |
...a major pain in the ass... |
| 00:10:31 |
...and obsessed with a field of |
| 00:10:32 |
study he considers |
| 00:10:34 |
...to professional suicide. |
| 00:10:36 |
Anything else? |
| 00:10:37 |
Those were the highlights. |

Does it show? |

Cracker Jack? |
| 00:11:43 |
No, thanks. |
| 00:11:44 |
Mind if I sit down? |
| 00:11:48 |
I hear the locals, they |

Convinced it has some |

I think we're harmless. |

- Ellie Arroway. |
| 00:12:03 |
What are you studying up there? |
| 00:12:08 |
The usual. |
| 00:12:09 |
Nebulae, quasars, |
| 00:12:14 |
What are you writing? |
| 00:12:15 |
The usual. Nouns, adverbs... |
| 00:12:18 |
...adjective here and there. |
| 00:12:21 |
I work on a project, SETI. |
| 00:12:23 |
Search for Extraterrestrial |
| 00:12:28 |
That is out there! |
| 00:12:30 |
Are you a student or something? |
| 00:12:33 |
I'm a writer. I'm |
| 00:12:36 |
I'm here doing |
| 00:12:38 |
technology affects |
| 00:12:41 |
I'm also looking for |
| 00:12:44 |
He's head of the |
| 00:12:46 |
Foundation. I |
| 00:12:49 |
I take it you know him? |
| 00:12:52 |
You could say that. |
| 00:12:55 |
SETI. |
| 00:12:57 |
That's fringe! |
| 00:12:59 |
I've crossed paths |
| 00:13:01 |
like that must |
| 00:13:06 |
Compass. |
| 00:13:09 |
That's for you. |
| 00:13:15 |
You better keep this. |
| 00:13:18 |
Might save your life someday. |
| 00:13:25 |
Have dinner with me tonight? |
| 00:13:29 |
I don't make a good research |
| 00:13:33 |
No quotes. Scout's honor. |
| 00:13:35 |
Good meal, good company. |
| 00:13:38 |
I've got to go. |
| 00:13:48 |
Drumlin's coming in Tuesday. |
| 00:13:59 |
Now I remember why |
| 00:14:04 |
Dr. Drumlin, how are you? |
| 00:14:07 |
Glad you could make it. |
| 00:14:10 |
If I'd known it took 3 planes, |
| 00:14:13 |
How is that new office? |
| 00:14:15 |
Still settling in. |
| 00:14:17 |
to give half my |
| 00:14:20 |
Still waiting for E.T. to call? |
| 00:14:25 |
Good to see you too! |
| 00:14:27 |
Asshole! |
| 00:14:28 |
Looks like it's going |
| 00:14:30 |
Science must be |
| 00:14:33 |
people paying for |
| 00:14:35 |
We must stop wasting money on |
| 00:14:39 |
...and spend it on |
| 00:14:42 |
...to improve the lives of |
| 00:14:45 |
Not unlike my L-band, |
| 00:14:48 |
You want to do away with |
| 00:14:51 |
What's wrong with science being |
| 00:14:55 |
Nothing, as long |
| 00:14:57 |
...is the search |
| 00:14:59 |
is what the pursuit |
| 00:15:04 |
That's an interesting |
| 00:15:06 |
...on a crusade against |
| 00:15:09 |
...Father Joss. |
| 00:15:11 |
I'm not against technology, |
| 00:15:15 |
...the men who deify it at |
| 00:15:22 |
Kent, I need to have a word |
| 00:15:31 |
You think that hurt my |
| 00:15:35 |
You're a priest? |
| 00:15:38 |
Not really. |
| 00:15:40 |
I got my Masters in Divinity... |
| 00:15:43 |
...then left the seminary to |
| 00:15:47 |
...coordinating |
| 00:15:50 |
I couldn't live with |
| 00:15:57 |
You could call me |
| 00:16:00 |
...without the cloth. |
| 00:16:05 |
You want to get out of here? |
| 00:16:09 |
You see that large W-shaped |
| 00:16:10 |
constellation there? |
| 00:16:14 |
And Cassiopeia A gives off |
| 00:16:19 |
I listen to them a lot. |
| 00:16:20 |
It's a remnant of a supernova. |
| 00:16:24 |
When did you know you |
| 00:16:29 |
When I was about |
| 00:16:31 |
...watching the |
| 00:16:34 |
"What's that bright |
| 00:16:40 |
He said that it wasn't |
| 00:16:45 |
...a whole planet |
| 00:16:51 |
...which should |
| 00:16:55 |
He said, "You know why |
| 00:16:58 |
Because they thought it was |
| 00:17:01 |
But they didn't know... |
| 00:17:04 |
...that it's filled with... |
| 00:17:07 |
...deadly gases and |
| 00:17:12 |
Wow, I thought, "This |
| 00:17:18 |
There are four hundred |
| 00:17:22 |
...just in our galaxy alone. |
| 00:17:25 |
If only one out of a million |
| 00:17:29 |
...if just one out of a |
| 00:17:32 |
...and if just one |
| 00:17:34 |
of those had |
| 00:17:37 |
...there would be |
| 00:17:39 |
of civilizations out there... |
| 00:17:43 |
If there wasn't... |
| 00:17:46 |
...it'd be an awful |
| 00:17:54 |
Amen. |
| 00:18:04 |
So I was lying there, |
| 00:18:12 |
And then I felt |
| 00:18:16 |
All I know is that |
| 00:18:19 |
For the first time in my life |
| 00:18:25 |
...not even dying. |
| 00:18:32 |
It was God. |
| 00:18:36 |
And there's no chance that... |
| 00:18:39 |
...you had this |
| 00:18:41 |
some part of you |
| 00:18:44 |
I'm a reasonably |
| 00:18:51 |
My intellect couldn't |
| 00:18:55 |
No. |
| 00:18:58 |
I've been to Sunday |
| 00:19:03 |
And? |
| 00:19:04 |
I kept asking all these really |
| 00:19:10 |
..."Where did Mrs. |
| 00:19:14 |
And pretty soon |
| 00:19:17 |
...if he wouldn't mind |
| 00:19:20 |
Your dad... |
| 00:19:23 |
Is it this guy? |
| 00:19:24 |
Yeah. |
| 00:19:28 |
You're close to |
| 00:19:31 |
I was. He died when |
| 00:19:36 |
I never got to know my mother. |
| 00:19:40 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:19:46 |
That's got to be tough. |
| 00:19:52 |
Being alone. |
| 00:20:03 |
What do you say... |
| 00:20:04 |
...we pack a picnic tomorrow |
| 00:20:09 |
I don't think I can. |
| 00:20:13 |
How about dinner tomorrow |
| 00:20:17 |
No, I don't think so. |
| 00:20:23 |
Ellie, did I miss something? |
| 00:20:28 |
No. |
| 00:20:29 |
Shit, I'm late! |
| 00:20:32 |
I told Kent that I'd |
| 00:20:37 |
I'm not trying to push you. |
| 00:20:39 |
I've wanted to look at |
| 00:20:42 |
Just hang out... |
| 00:20:44 |
...and sleep in. There's |
| 00:20:49 |
How can I reach you? |
| 00:20:51 |
Just leave your |
| 00:21:15 |
Dad! |
| 00:21:18 |
It's starting, you're |
| 00:21:24 |
Dad, there's another |
| 00:21:27 |
In a minute, Sparks! |
| 00:21:29 |
There's another one. |
| 00:22:28 |
I'll get the medicine. |
| 00:23:49 |
I know it's hard to |
| 00:23:52 |
...but we aren't |
| 00:23:55 |
why things happen |
| 00:23:57 |
Sometimes, we just |
| 00:24:00 |
...as God's will. |
| 00:24:04 |
I should have kept medicine |
| 00:24:07 |
Then I could've |
| 00:24:35 |
CQ... |
| 00:24:38 |
...this is W-9 |
| 00:24:45 |
Dad, this is Ellie. Come back. |
| 00:24:50 |
This is Eleanor Arroway... |
| 00:24:52 |
...transmitting |
| 00:25:02 |
Are you there? |
| 00:25:06 |
Come back. |
| 00:25:14 |
Are you there? |
| 00:25:17 |
Dad, this is Ellie. |
| 00:25:51 |
Hi, Kent. What are |
| 00:25:55 |
I was thinking... |
| 00:25:57 |
...we'd make a |
| 00:26:00 |
We could put together |
| 00:26:04 |
You know the Very Large |
| 00:26:06 |
It's a dynamite place |
| 00:26:09 |
What are you talking about? |
| 00:26:13 |
Drumlin pulled the plug. |
| 00:26:15 |
We're homeless. |
| 00:26:31 |
It's true, you pulled the plug? |
| 00:26:33 |
You can't see it now, |
| 00:26:35 |
You're too promising |
| 00:26:37 |
waste your gifts |
| 00:26:40 |
I don't consider |
| 00:26:42 |
...the most important |
| 00:26:45 |
400 billion stars... |
| 00:26:47 |
And two probabilities. One, |
| 00:26:50 |
...but too far away to |
| 00:26:53 |
- And two! |
| 00:26:55 |
There's nothing |
| 00:26:57 |
compounds and you're |
| 00:27:00 |
In the meantime, you |
| 00:27:03 |
Your career will be over! |
| 00:27:05 |
So what? |
| 00:27:06 |
It's my life! |
| 00:27:45 |
Hey, Kent. You were right. |
| 00:27:48 |
Screw Drumlin. |
| 00:27:50 |
ourselves. We'll |
| 00:27:52 |
Chicago's set. Let |
| 00:27:55 |
I've got more corporate stops |
| 00:27:58 |
Did that investor from |
| 00:28:01 |
I'll hit him up |
| 00:28:04 |
Beg for some of |
| 00:28:06 |
They've been making money |
| 00:28:10 |
- Begging is good for the soul. |
| 00:28:13 |
Just do me a favor. |
| 00:28:15 |
Try not to be too... |
| 00:28:18 |
Confrontational? |
| 00:28:20 |
I'll see if I left anything. |
| 00:28:55 |
It's a unique time |
| 00:28:57 |
in the history of |
| 00:28:59 |
It's the moment of the |
| 00:29:02 |
That's the moment where |
| 00:29:06 |
The Very Large Array |
| 00:29:08 |
...is the key to our |
| 00:29:11 |
With its 27 linked |
| 00:29:13 |
...we can search |
| 00:29:15 |
than at any other facility. |
| 00:29:17 |
We've gotten |
| 00:29:19 |
telescope time |
| 00:29:22 |
Now all we really |
| 00:29:25 |
A nice presentation, Doctor. |
| 00:29:28 |
But while our foundation arm |
| 00:29:31 |
...experimental |
| 00:29:34 |
...seems less like science, |
| 00:29:41 |
Science fiction. |
| 00:29:46 |
You're right. |
| 00:29:48 |
It's crazy. |
| 00:29:50 |
In fact, it's even |
| 00:29:55 |
Want to hear something nutty? |
| 00:29:57 |
Two guys wanted to build |
| 00:30:00 |
People go in it and fly like |
| 00:30:03 |
What about breaking |
| 00:30:05 |
...or rockets to the moon, or |
| 00:30:06 |
atomic energy or |
| 00:30:09 |
Science fiction, right? |
| 00:30:12 |
All I'm asking |
| 00:30:14 |
have the tiniest bit of vision. |
| 00:30:17 |
To step back and look |
| 00:30:20 |
Take a chance on |
| 00:30:23 |
end up the most |
| 00:30:26 |
...for humanity, |
| 00:30:29 |
...of history. |
| 00:30:34 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:30:36 |
I just spent 13 months... |
| 00:30:38 |
...coming into rooms and |
| 00:30:42 |
You're my last chance. |
| 00:30:45 |
Sorry I wasted your time. |
| 00:30:46 |
Doctor. |
| 00:30:48 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:31:01 |
You have your money. |
| 00:31:06 |
Thank you. |
| 00:31:09 |
Thank you. |
| 00:31:58 |
Perfect cast! Come on, fishy! |
| 00:32:01 |
Frank, look at the size... |
| 00:32:03 |
...of that |
| 00:32:17 |
Welcome back, Dr. C. |
| 00:32:19 |
How'd it go? |
| 00:32:22 |
How was the trip? |
| 00:32:23 |
I've had better. |
| 00:32:25 |
Drumlin! Is this a |
| 00:32:29 |
There's been enormous pressure |
| 00:32:33 |
It doesn't matter. Hadden's |
| 00:32:36 |
The government |
| 00:32:38 |
telescopes used by |
| 00:32:41 |
...of the desert anymore. |
| 00:32:44 |
What? |
| 00:32:45 |
Staring at TV static for hours, |
| 00:32:49 |
These stories get out! |
| 00:32:51 |
I was seeking |
| 00:32:53 |
It doesn't matter, |
| 00:32:55 |
They want us out! |
| 00:32:58 |
We've got 3 months till |
| 00:33:05 |
I'll start looking |
| 00:33:08 |
Could you face reality? |
| 00:33:12 |
It's over. |
| 00:33:20 |
Fine. |
| 00:33:22 |
I'm not stopping. |
| 00:33:24 |
If I have to, I'll go it |
| 00:34:17 |
My guest tonight is author |
| 00:34:21 |
He's become a |
| 00:34:24 |
a recent fixture |
| 00:34:26 |
"God's Diplomat," according |
| 00:34:29 |
His latest book, |
| 00:34:31 |
is currently number one... |
| 00:34:33 |
...on that publication's |
| 00:34:36 |
Thanks for being here. |
| 00:34:39 |
...the last few years. |
| 00:34:41 |
Yeah, I sure have, Larry. |
| 00:34:43 |
Fish, I was thinking. |
| 00:34:46 |
Who would make the best |
| 00:34:50 |
Who has the perfect synthesis |
| 00:34:56 |
I give. |
| 00:34:58 |
Vampires! |
| 00:34:59 |
Are you anti-technology |
| 00:35:02 |
No, not at all. |
| 00:35:04 |
The question that |
| 00:35:08 |
Are we happier... |
| 00:35:10 |
...as a human |
| 00:35:12 |
fundamentally a better place... |
| 00:35:14 |
...because of science |
| 00:35:16 |
We shop at home, |
| 00:35:19 |
...but at the same |
| 00:35:22 |
...and more cut |
| 00:35:24 |
than at any other |
| 00:35:27 |
We're becoming a |
| 00:35:30 |
...in a hurry to get to the... |
| 00:35:47 |
We're looking for the meaning. |
| 00:35:49 |
What is the meaning? |
| 00:35:50 |
We have mindless jobs, |
| 00:35:53 |
Deficit finance trips to |
| 00:35:56 |
...that we think will fill |
| 00:36:00 |
Any wonder we've lost |
| 00:36:44 |
Holy shit! |
| 00:37:04 |
Right ascension... |
| 00:37:05 |
...18 hours, 36 |
| 00:37:10 |
Declination... |
| 00:37:12 |
...+ 36 degrees, 46 minutes... |
| 00:37:15 |
...56.2 seconds! |
| 00:37:20 |
Confirm! |
| 00:37:22 |
Right ascension, 18 |
| 00:37:25 |
...56.2 seconds! |
| 00:37:28 |
Is anybody awake in there? |
| 00:37:31 |
- Confirm! |
| 00:37:33 |
Boss has a bogey! |
| 00:37:35 |
Right ascension, 18 hours... |
| 00:37:41 |
We're on it! |
| 00:37:43 |
36 hours... |
| 00:37:44 |
...47 minutes and 1 second! |
| 00:37:47 |
Strong possible... |
| 00:37:48 |
...pulse chain |
| 00:37:51 |
I'm moving the rest. |
| 00:37:54 |
Check the status of the array. |
| 00:37:56 |
She's doing all the dishes. |
| 00:37:58 |
Systems nominal. |
| 00:38:05 |
Hello. |
| 00:38:07 |
Full systems check! |
| 00:38:09 |
Coordinates confirmed. |
| 00:38:12 |
Stay on top of the |
| 00:38:15 |
Check reference point offsets. |
| 00:38:17 |
And I want you off-axis on |
| 00:38:21 |
And tell Willie to |
| 00:38:26 |
Copy that. |
| 00:38:28 |
Yeah! Go, Ellie! |
| 00:38:30 |
I hear it on the headphones. |
| 00:38:33 |
Give me another array status. |
| 00:38:37 |
Her four are online, |
| 00:38:43 |
But there's a bad drive on 16. |
| 00:38:46 |
The four are online, |
| 00:38:48 |
There's a bad drive |
| 00:38:53 |
What shall I do about |
| 00:38:55 |
Forget it and hold the queue. |
| 00:38:57 |
Get ready to set |
| 00:38:59 |
to manual the |
| 00:39:02 |
Do you copy? I want you to go |
| 00:39:03 |
off-axis on 27 the |
| 00:39:06 |
And leave the LO |
| 00:39:09 |
Don't let it get away! If |
| 00:39:12 |
Run every frequency |
| 00:39:20 |
How you doing? |
| 00:39:26 |
Talk to me, guys. |
| 00:39:28 |
Partially polarized moving |
| 00:39:32 |
We're locked. Systems are |
| 00:39:36 |
4.46... |
| 00:39:37 |
...23 gigahertz. |
| 00:39:40 |
Hydrogen times pi. |
| 00:39:42 |
Told you! |
| 00:39:43 |
Strong sucker too! |
| 00:39:46 |
I got it! I'm patched in! |
| 00:39:48 |
Let me hear. |
| 00:39:55 |
Listen to that. |
| 00:39:59 |
Make me a liar, Fish. |
| 00:40:01 |
It could be AWACS out |
| 00:40:04 |
But I doubt it. |
| 00:40:06 |
See if F.U.D.D.'s |
| 00:40:10 |
Patch it back and |
| 00:40:13 |
- We recording? |
| 00:40:16 |
Thank you, Elmer! |
| 00:40:18 |
AWACS status is negative. |
| 00:40:20 |
White Sands? |
| 00:40:21 |
On this frequency? No. |
| 00:40:23 |
I'll punch up the darks. |
| 00:40:28 |
How's spying tonight? |
| 00:40:30 |
Come on! |
| 00:40:34 |
NORAD's not tracking any |
| 00:40:37 |
Shuttle's in sleep mode. |
| 00:40:38 |
Okay, point source confirmed. |
| 00:40:41 |
Whatever it is, it ain't local. |
| 00:40:43 |
Position? |
| 00:40:44 |
I checked interferometry. |
| 00:40:46 |
- Vega? |
| 00:40:48 |
It's only 26 light years away. |
| 00:40:50 |
- Peak intensity? |
| 00:40:54 |
Vega. |
| 00:40:55 |
Vega. I scanned |
| 00:40:57 |
at Arecibo. It was |
| 00:40:59 |
Got it! |
| 00:41:00 |
Reading over 100 janskys. |
| 00:41:03 |
Jesus! I can pick |
| 00:41:08 |
No! |
| 00:41:43 |
Come on! |
| 00:41:46 |
It's restarting. |
| 00:41:48 |
Wait a minute. |
| 00:41:50 |
That was 3, before it was 2. |
| 00:41:54 |
Base 10 numbers. Count |
| 00:41:57 |
One. |
| 00:42:05 |
Seven. |
| 00:42:08 |
Those are primes. |
| 00:42:10 |
2, 3, 5, 7 are |
| 00:42:14 |
No way that's a |
| 00:42:16 |
Let's just calm down and |
| 00:42:20 |
It doesn't make any sense. |
| 00:42:24 |
It can't have a |
| 00:42:26 |
...let alone life or a |
| 00:42:29 |
Maybe they're not from |
| 00:42:32 |
Spacecraft? This system's full |
| 00:42:35 |
Not if they used their laser |
| 00:42:40 |
- That's not funny. |
| 00:42:43 |
He's right. If we go public |
| 00:42:46 |
...it's over. We're cooked. |
| 00:42:51 |
I wish Kent was here. |
| 00:42:53 |
Whatever it is, let's do |
| 00:43:00 |
Position confirmed. We've got |
| 00:43:04 |
We've got 112 janskys. |
| 00:43:08 |
Do you have a |
| 00:43:12 |
We put it right |
| 00:43:15 |
Vega. |
| 00:43:19 |
Thanks. Keep tracking |
| 00:43:22 |
Right-o. |
| 00:43:35 |
101. The pulse sequenced... |
| 00:43:37 |
...through every prime |
| 00:43:42 |
Who do we call now? |
| 00:43:47 |
Everybody. |
| 00:43:56 |
The rumors are flying, the |
| 00:43:59 |
Detection of an unidentified... |
| 00:44:01 |
...radio source from space can |
| 00:44:03 |
neither be |
| 00:44:06 |
But the military arriving... |
| 00:44:08 |
Sources close to the VLA report |
| 00:44:12 |
...by some form of |
| 00:44:14 |
...living outside |
| 00:44:16 |
Again, there is |
| 00:44:22 |
I want all of these |
| 00:44:25 |
Where's the girl? |
| 00:44:30 |
22 stations worldwide... |
| 00:44:32 |
...now confirm the signal. |
| 00:44:34 |
Vega's now below our horizon. |
| 00:44:35 |
You're hearing the |
| 00:44:38 |
Get decryption people here. |
| 00:44:40 |
Lunacharsky's |
| 00:44:42 |
Explain this to me. |
| 00:44:44 |
If the source of |
| 00:44:46 |
sophisticated... why |
| 00:44:48 |
Why not just speak English? |
| 00:44:50 |
Maybe because 70% of the |
| 00:44:53 |
Mathematics is the only |
| 00:44:57 |
It's no coincidence that |
| 00:44:59 |
I don't get it. |
| 00:45:01 |
Prime numbers. |
| 00:45:02 |
Integers only divisible |
| 00:45:09 |
We think this may be a |
| 00:45:12 |
...to get our attention. |
| 00:45:14 |
If it's attention you want, |
| 00:45:18 |
People have looked at Vega |
| 00:45:21 |
Yesterday they start |
| 00:45:24 |
It's hardly yesterday. |
| 00:45:26 |
The signal's been |
| 00:45:30 |
Excuse me, who are you? |
| 00:45:32 |
Michael Kitz, National |
| 00:45:34 |
Your reputation... |
| 00:45:36 |
First, ask the gentlemen |
| 00:45:40 |
This is a civilian facility. |
| 00:45:48 |
With all due respect... |
| 00:45:50 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:45:52 |
Hi! I'm so glad you're back! |
| 00:45:55 |
Come hear this. |
| 00:45:57 |
Is this great? |
| 00:45:59 |
- Who are all these people? |
| 00:46:01 |
Sit down. We need help |
| 00:46:05 |
- I'll get on it. |
| 00:46:06 |
I'll just come |
| 00:46:09 |
Announcing this all |
| 00:46:11 |
well be a breach of |
| 00:46:13 |
It's not a |
| 00:46:15 |
You think a |
| 00:46:17 |
message intends it |
| 00:46:19 |
You might have consulted us. |
| 00:46:21 |
- The contents could |
| 00:46:23 |
- You want to |
| 00:46:26 |
Due to earth's |
| 00:46:28 |
line with Vega |
| 00:46:30 |
The only way to |
| 00:46:32 |
is to cooperate |
| 00:46:34 |
If Dr. Arroway hadn't acted |
| 00:46:36 |
quickly, we'd have |
| 00:46:39 |
Fine, they've got the primes. |
| 00:46:40 |
But if a more significant |
| 00:46:43 |
We need help to |
| 00:46:46 |
You understand that |
| 00:46:50 |
- Listen. |
| 00:46:52 |
Hear what? |
| 00:46:53 |
Harmonic. |
| 00:46:54 |
Bingo! I had Willie ask Rattan |
| 00:46:58 |
There's a lot more here. |
| 00:47:00 |
- Get on the negative sideband. |
| 00:47:03 |
What is it? |
| 00:47:04 |
Another signal! |
| 00:47:06 |
A second signal at double |
| 00:47:09 |
Get a TV monitor! |
| 00:47:12 |
Patch it into the |
| 00:47:14 |
Want the new data? |
| 00:47:15 |
Yeah, the new one |
| 00:47:17 |
David, explain |
| 00:47:19 |
There's another signal. |
| 00:47:22 |
We're hot. |
| 00:47:23 |
Go get the blinds. |
| 00:47:27 |
You're patched in. |
| 00:47:29 |
It's definitely an image. |
| 00:47:37 |
What do you make of that? |
| 00:47:39 |
It's two different interlaced |
| 00:47:45 |
- It's just noise. |
| 00:47:49 |
I've got an offset |
| 00:47:53 |
Plug it in! |
| 00:47:58 |
Center that segment. |
| 00:48:00 |
Centering. |
| 00:48:05 |
Can you clean it up? |
| 00:48:07 |
I'm working on it. |
| 00:48:21 |
What the hell...? |
| 00:48:23 |
Try zooming out. |
| 00:48:29 |
Freeze! |
| 00:48:30 |
Reverse values. |
| 00:48:33 |
Try zooming out again. |
| 00:48:39 |
Rotate 90 degrees |
| 00:48:42 |
My God! |
| 00:48:51 |
What's going on? |
| 00:48:53 |
You're not going |
| 00:49:08 |
Does anybody speak German? |
| 00:49:12 |
"I declare the |
| 00:49:15 |
...at the celebration... |
| 00:49:17 |
...of the first Olympics |
| 00:49:20 |
...as opened. " |
| 00:49:32 |
Get me the White House. |
| 00:49:34 |
20 million people died |
| 00:49:37 |
...and he's our first |
| 00:49:40 |
The broadcast of |
| 00:49:42 |
was the first TV |
| 00:49:44 |
...that went into space. |
| 00:49:45 |
Sending it back is a way of |
| 00:49:49 |
Or, "Sieg Heil, you're |
| 00:49:51 |
Hitler's politics have |
| 00:49:54 |
It's unlikely they understood |
| 00:49:58 |
The people are in very |
| 00:50:00 |
We'll take it from here. |
| 00:50:03 |
Smile, folks. We're on. |
| 00:50:06 |
A message of unknown |
| 00:50:08 |
...was received by American |
| 00:50:10 |
scientists. Now |
| 00:50:12 |
We're told the President will |
| 00:50:16 |
...about today's |
| 00:50:17 |
...and that he won't be taking |
| 00:50:26 |
Good afternoon. |
| 00:50:30 |
I'm glad to be joined by my... |
| 00:50:32 |
...Science and |
| 00:50:36 |
This is the product of |
| 00:50:39 |
...by some of the world's |
| 00:50:42 |
Like all discoveries... |
| 00:50:44 |
...this one will |
| 00:50:47 |
...examined... |
| 00:50:48 |
...and scrutinized. |
| 00:50:50 |
It must be confirmed |
| 00:50:53 |
But clearly... |
| 00:50:55 |
...the fact that this is being |
| 00:50:59 |
Fish, what is the |
| 00:51:01 |
thought Ellie was |
| 00:51:03 |
I don't know. |
| 00:51:05 |
Guys? |
| 00:51:09 |
Those interlaced frames |
| 00:51:13 |
This has structure. |
| 00:51:17 |
If this discovery |
| 00:51:19 |
...it will be one of the most |
| 00:51:21 |
stunning insights |
| 00:51:23 |
...that science |
| 00:51:26 |
Its implications are |
| 00:51:28 |
...and awe-inspiring |
| 00:51:31 |
Even as it promises answers to |
| 00:51:35 |
...it poses still others... |
| 00:51:36 |
...even more fundamental. |
| 00:51:38 |
We will continue |
| 00:51:40 |
...to what it has to say... |
| 00:51:42 |
...as we continue the |
| 00:51:44 |
...and for knowledge... |
| 00:51:46 |
...that is as old |
| 00:51:48 |
...but essential to |
| 00:51:52 |
Thank you. |
| 00:51:53 |
Is there a renewed |

I'll answer your questions |
| 00:51:59 |
The message was |
| 00:52:01 |
...at 6:31 a. m. |
| 00:52:03 |
It was largely mathematical... |
| 00:52:05 |
...and in spite of |

...appears to be |
| 00:52:11 |
Let me say that again. The |
| 00:52:15 |
The President has contacted |
| 00:52:18 |
...and every security |
| 00:52:21 |
To better explain the events |

Science Advisor |
| 00:52:41 |
Thank you, Rachel. |
| 00:52:43 |
Hello. |
| 00:52:46 |
In 1936 a very faint |
| 00:52:49 |
...transmitted the |
| 00:52:51 |
of the Olympic |
| 00:52:53 |
...of German |
| 00:52:57 |
That signal left Earth at the |
| 00:52:58 |
speed of light and |
| 00:53:01 |
...arrived in the vicinity |
| 00:53:06 |
That signal has been sent |
| 00:53:10 |
...an unmistakable |
| 00:53:13 |
Kent, go ahead. |
| 00:53:14 |
The Adolf transmission |
| 00:53:17 |
per second but |
| 00:53:19 |
So we put the other 25 |
| 00:53:23 |
We found a series of markers |
| 00:53:26 |
- Are you ready? |
| 00:53:28 |
Send it, Willie. |
| 00:53:29 |
Here it comes. |
| 00:53:34 |
It's digital... |
| 00:53:35 |
...massive amounts |
| 00:53:37 |
extend right to the |
| 00:53:40 |
Jackpot! |
| 00:53:43 |
All right, as you'll see... |
| 00:53:45 |
...interlaced with the frames |
| 00:53:49 |

We thought they were noise, |

When we combine this with the |

I'm recommending |

we militarize this project. |

What?! This is my project! |

Nobody knows more about this |

Excuse me! Could |

Please, sit, Doctor. |

I have guests so rarely, it's |

Anyway, I've had my fill |

I guess I should... |

I didn't realize |
| 01:05:06 |
No. Maybe not out... |
| 01:05:09 |
...but certainly |
| 01:05:16 |
I've had a long time |
| 01:05:24 |
There are many governments... |
| 01:05:25 |
...business interests... |
| 01:05:28 |
...even religious |
| 01:05:30 |
like to see me |
| 01:05:33 |
And I'll grant them |
| 01:05:36 |
But before I do, I wish to |
| 01:05:41 |
A final gesture |
| 01:05:43 |
people of this planet |
| 01:05:48 |
...from whom I |
| 01:05:54 |
You found the primer. |
| 01:05:58 |
Clever girl! |
| 01:06:00 |
Lights. |
| 01:06:10 |
Pages and pages of data. |
| 01:06:13 |
Over 63,000 in all. |
| 01:06:16 |
And on the perimeter of each... |
| 01:06:19 |
Alignment symbols, registration |
| 01:06:23 |
They do... |
| 01:06:24 |
...if you think like a Vegan. |
| 01:06:27 |
An alien intelligence has |
| 01:06:30 |
...and that means efficiency |
| 01:06:32 |
functioning on |
| 01:06:34 |
...and in multiple... |
| 01:06:36 |
...dimensions. |
| 01:06:42 |
Yes, of course! |
| 01:06:45 |
Where's the primer? |
| 01:06:46 |
You'll see. |
| 01:06:48 |
Every three-dimensional page |
| 01:06:55 |
There it was all the time, |
| 01:06:59 |
Buried within the message |
| 01:07:01 |
itself is the key |
| 01:07:04 |
Within the layering |
| 01:07:05 |
we have these basic equations: |
| 01:07:09 |
So with this very |
| 01:07:11 |
they have given us a kind of... |
| 01:07:13 |
...general |
| 01:07:16 |
We now have the symbols |
| 01:07:18 |
This was the key... |
| 01:07:20 |
...that allowed us to |
| 01:07:22 |
...for physics, geometry, |
| 01:07:27 |
Yes, and when we apply this |
| 01:07:32 |
...we find this. |
| 01:07:38 |
Those look like engineering |
| 01:07:39 |
schematics, almost |
| 01:07:42 |
Yes. |
| 01:07:44 |
It is our belief that the |
| 01:07:45 |
message contains |
| 01:07:47 |
...for building something, |
| 01:07:51 |
A machine? That |
| 01:07:54 |
We don't know. It |
| 01:07:57 |
...of advanced |
| 01:08:00 |
or a teaching |
| 01:08:03 |
Or it might be... |
| 01:08:05 |
...some kind of a transport. |
| 01:08:07 |
- Transport? |
| 01:08:10 |
The fact is you don't know what |
| 01:08:14 |
A Trojan Horse. We build it and |
| 01:08:15 |
out pours the |
| 01:08:17 |
Why risk the personnel? |
| 01:08:20 |
Right. Some kind of |
| 01:08:23 |
Every time they detect |
| 01:08:25 |
...they fax construction |
| 01:08:28 |
We poor saps build |
| 01:08:30 |
blow ourselves to kingdom come. |
| 01:08:32 |
There's no reason to believe |
| 01:08:36 |
Why is it the egghead position |
| 01:08:40 |
We pose no threat to them. |
| 01:08:42 |
It'd be like us going |
| 01:08:45 |
...to destroy |
| 01:08:47 |
Interesting analogy. |
| 01:08:49 |
How guilty would we feel if we |
| 01:08:50 |
destroyed a few |
| 01:08:53 |
I hope you're right. |
| 01:08:54 |
I really do. |
| 01:08:55 |
But my job is to protect |
| 01:08:57 |
American lives |
| 01:08:59 |
...so I am obligated |
| 01:09:01 |
Yes, and I am forced |
| 01:09:04 |
My problem is this: |
| 01:09:06 |
The content of that message |
| 01:09:10 |
Our internal |
| 01:09:12 |
for this is incredibly soft. |
| 01:09:13 |
If the President |
| 01:09:16 |
...his numbers will be going |
| 01:09:19 |
This is nuts! |
| 01:09:21 |
Excuse me... |
| 01:09:22 |
...Miss. |
| 01:09:23 |
We know nothing of |
| 01:09:26 |
We don't even know whether |
| 01:09:29 |
This doesn't make |
| 01:09:31 |
Excuse me, Dr. Arroway. |
| 01:09:33 |
We won't be suppressing |
| 01:09:36 |
No, of course |
| 01:09:39 |
What I meant to say... |
| 01:09:41 |
...is the message was written |
| 01:09:45 |
If it was religious in nature, |
| 01:09:46 |
it should have |
| 01:09:48 |
...of a burning bush |
| 01:09:51 |
But a voice from the sky... |
| 01:09:54 |
...is exactly what you |
| 01:10:01 |
I'm sorry I'm late, ma'am. |
| 01:10:04 |
I agree with Mr. Rank that |
| 01:10:08 |
...religious |
| 01:10:11 |
But that doesn't justify |
| 01:10:15 |
I hope that we can |
| 01:10:18 |
...break through obstacles |
| 01:10:22 |
Listen, I need to make |
| 01:10:24 |
Our organization |
| 01:10:27 |
with flowery New |
| 01:10:30 |
Mr. President! |
| 01:10:33 |
The President met |
| 01:10:35 |
...regarding the latest |
| 01:10:39 |
While there has |
| 01:10:41 |
the official line |
| 01:10:44 |
If you're asking |
| 01:10:46 |
...what the purpose |
| 01:10:50 |
...maybe tomorrow, maybe |
| 01:10:57 |
There he is. The |
| 01:10:59 |
on the nation's |
| 01:11:03 |
It's so good to see you. |
| 01:11:05 |
You too. |
| 01:11:07 |
Your discovery, all of this. |
| 01:11:12 |
I'm really happy for you. |
| 01:11:14 |
Are you? |
| 01:11:15 |
Mr. Joss, the |
| 01:11:21 |
The President's waiting. |
| 01:11:27 |
See you at the reception? |
| 01:11:29 |
Yeah, I wouldn't miss it. |
| 01:11:43 |
Miss Constantine, |
| 01:11:45 |
Certainly. |
| 01:11:48 |
I have a big problem. |
| 01:11:52 |
Do you know where I can |
| 01:12:14 |
God created man in the form of |
| 01:12:16 |
Himself, not in |
| 01:12:27 |
Get a job! Don't |
| 01:12:56 |
You look beautiful, Ellie. |
| 01:12:59 |
- So do you. |
| 01:13:05 |
I read your book. |
| 01:13:08 |
Here we go. |
| 01:13:09 |
You want me to quote you? |
| 01:13:12 |
"Ironically... |
| 01:13:13 |
...the thing people |
| 01:13:16 |
...meaning... |
| 01:13:17 |
...is the one thing science |
| 01:13:18 |
hasn't been able |
| 01:13:21 |
Yeah. |
| 01:13:24 |
It's like you're saying that... |
| 01:13:26 |
...science killed God. |
| 01:13:29 |
What if science |
| 01:13:32 |
...that He never existed |
| 01:13:38 |
I think we need |
| 01:13:41 |
And a few more of these. |
| 01:13:45 |
Thank you. |
| 01:13:48 |
A little chilly out here. |
| 01:13:50 |
Yeah, this is nice. |
| 01:13:51 |
I got one for you. |
| 01:13:53 |
Occam's Razor. |
| 01:13:55 |
Occam's Razor. Sounds |
| 01:13:58 |
No, Occam's Razor is a basic |
| 01:13:59 |
scientific |
| 01:14:02 |
Things being |
| 01:14:03 |
explanation tends to be right. |
| 01:14:05 |
Makes sense to me. |
| 01:14:07 |
So what's more likely? |
| 01:14:08 |
Thank you. |
| 01:14:10 |
An all-powerful God |
| 01:14:13 |
...then decided not to give |
| 01:14:16 |
Or... |
| 01:14:17 |
...that He doesn't exist at |
| 01:14:21 |
...so we wouldn't feel |
| 01:14:24 |
I don't know. |
| 01:14:26 |
I couldn't imagine living in |
| 01:14:30 |
I wouldn't want to. |
| 01:14:32 |
How do you know you're |
| 01:14:36 |
I mean, for me... |
| 01:14:37 |
...I'd need proof. |
| 01:14:40 |
Proof? |
| 01:14:44 |
Did you love your father? |
| 01:14:47 |
Your dad, did you love him? |
| 01:14:50 |
Yes. Very much. |
| 01:14:55 |
Prove it. |
| 01:15:04 |
Kent. |
| 01:15:05 |
The White House. |
| 01:15:10 |
No excuses. |
| 01:15:12 |
I want their head on a platter. |
| 01:15:14 |
What happened? |
| 01:15:16 |
You were right all along. |
| 01:15:18 |
The team at the VLA has |
| 01:15:21 |
...and the hard work |
| 01:15:24 |
This key section |
| 01:15:26 |
and obtained |
| 01:15:28 |
...shows an illustration |
| 01:15:31 |
...inside a geometric |
| 01:15:34 |
This and other |
| 01:15:36 |
...now lead scientists to |
| 01:15:37 |
believe the message |
| 01:15:39 |
- President called |
| 01:15:41 |
- I imagined he would. |
| 01:15:43 |
...designed to take a single |
| 01:15:46 |
...presumably to the star Vega. |
| 01:16:12 |
Tell me. |
| 01:16:14 |
They will build it. |
| 01:16:15 |
Who goes? |
| 01:16:16 |
The President's |
| 01:16:18 |
to spread the risk and cost... |
| 01:16:20 |
Who goes? |
| 01:16:22 |
Well, it's complicated. |
| 01:16:25 |
They have formed a group |
| 01:16:29 |
Now, it's your discovery. |
| 01:16:31 |
They understand that. You're |
| 01:16:33 |
at the top of a |
| 01:16:35 |
But they're also forming |
| 01:16:38 |
It's made of |
| 01:16:40 |
scientists, philosophers... |
| 01:16:42 |
You're on it. |
| 00:00:05 |
I guess that means... |
| 00:00:08 |
...that you're a selector, |
| 00:00:11 |
Yeah. |
| 00:00:12 |
What you don't |
| 00:00:15 |
I understand. |
| 00:00:17 |
I want you to know, whatever |
| 00:00:19 |
happens, as far |
| 00:00:25 |
Good luck. |
| 00:00:30 |
Whatever you do, make sure he |
| 00:00:32 |
doesn't monopolize |
| 00:00:34 |
He is not on the |
| 00:00:40 |
He just resigned. He |

The President is already |
| 00:00:49 |
Sources say the cost of |
| 00:00:52 |
...to more than a third |
| 00:00:55 |
...making this perhaps the |
| 00:00:57 |
most expensive |
| 00:00:59 |
...in all of human history. |
| 00:01:01 |
Months of debate |
| 00:01:03 |
...a conclusion last week as 10 |
| 00:01:05 |
candidates were |
| 00:01:08 |
...representing a cross section |
| 00:01:10 |
of political and |
| 00:01:12 |
Many are the same experts |
| 00:01:15 |
...on the Machine's |
| 00:01:17 |
They will actively |
| 00:01:20 |
during the |
| 00:01:22 |
The choice of these 10 |
| 00:01:23 |
candidates has |
| 00:01:25 |
One-third of the |
| 00:01:28 |
And many international |
| 00:01:32 |
The U.S. is shouldering |
| 00:01:34 |
Isn't it true that contractors, |
| 00:01:38 |
...are making contributions in |
| 00:01:41 |
Different nations are being |
| 00:01:45 |
Japan made headlines |
| 00:01:47 |
forego candidate |
| 00:01:50 |
...in exchange for the systems |
| 00:01:53 |
On what basis do you choose... |
| 00:01:55 |
...a human being to |
| 00:01:58 |
Good question, Larry. |
| 00:01:59 |
If nothing else... |
| 00:02:01 |
...it should be |
| 00:02:03 |
the language the |
| 00:02:06 |
Science, in this case. |
| 00:02:08 |
Despite your |
| 00:02:10 |
...there's been a |
| 00:02:13 |
...that this endeavor |
| 00:02:15 |
Some of that criticism |
| 00:02:18 |
One Nobel Prize winner |
| 00:02:22 |
"There is every indication... |
| 00:02:24 |
...that this is beyond |
| 00:02:26 |
that this endeavor will fail... |
| 00:02:28 |
...and that the |
| 00:02:29 |
will pay for it |
| 00:02:31 |
How do you respond? |
| 00:02:33 |
This message is from a |
| 00:02:34 |
civilization that |
| 00:02:37 |
...from hundreds |
| 00:02:39 |
millions of years ahead of us. |
| 00:02:41 |
I have to believe that an |
| 00:02:45 |
...knows what they're doing. |
| 00:02:48 |
Now all it requires |
| 00:02:52 |
Faith? |
| 00:02:56 |
I was going to say, |
| 00:02:58 |
And in breaking news... |
| 00:03:00 |
...astronaut John Russell... |
| 00:03:01 |
...considered to be |
| 00:03:03 |
candidate for the |
| 00:03:05 |
...has dropped |
| 00:03:08 |
Russell met with reporters |
| 00:03:12 |
I told my dad I |
| 00:03:14 |
...to go. |
| 00:03:16 |
Daddy, don't go. |
| 00:03:20 |
Nothing would give |
| 00:03:22 |
...than to... |
| 00:03:24 |
...represent my country. |
| 00:03:26 |
But what can I say to this? |
| 00:03:29 |
Consortium officials had no |
| 00:03:33 |
...have disclosed |
| 00:03:35 |
...appears to now be the |
| 00:03:37 |
front-runner for |
| 00:03:40 |
"Meet me at noon. Must talk. " |
| 00:03:43 |
I didn't expect a message |
| 00:03:45 |
Thanks for coming. |
| 00:03:47 |
Is this kosher? |
| 00:03:50 |
Selectors and selectees |
| 00:03:54 |
Can we talk about Einstein? |
| 00:03:56 |
Yeah, sure. |
| 00:03:58 |
Special relativity. |
| 00:04:03 |
...if it works, you travel |
| 00:04:07 |
- When you come back... |
| 00:04:12 |
If you come back... |
| 00:04:14 |
...you'll be 4 |
| 00:04:16 |
50 years will have |
| 00:04:18 |
Basically. |
| 00:04:21 |
And everybody that |
| 00:04:24 |
...will be gone, |
| 00:04:27 |
If you came back, if |
| 00:04:33 |
Look, Palmer, nobody's |
| 00:04:37 |
The rest of the |
| 00:04:39 |
understand the |
| 00:04:41 |
Why? |
| 00:04:42 |
It's a historic opportunity. |
| 00:04:45 |
You, Ellie. You! |
| 00:04:49 |
By doing this, you're |
| 00:04:52 |
You're willing to die for it. |
| 00:04:56 |
Why? |
| 00:05:01 |
From as long as I can remember, |
| 00:05:05 |
...something... |
| 00:05:07 |
...some reason why we're here. |
| 00:05:09 |
What are we doing |
| 00:05:12 |
If this is a chance to find out |
| 00:05:17 |
I don't know, I think |
| 00:05:21 |
Don't you? |
| 00:05:29 |
You're an incredibly |
| 00:05:34 |
Or incredibly nuts. |
| 00:06:06 |
I'm really confused. |
| 00:06:09 |
So am I. |
| 00:06:12 |
I think I speak for us all when |
| 00:06:15 |
Myself, I have one final |
| 00:06:20 |
If you should meet |
| 00:06:23 |
...and were permitted only |
| 00:06:27 |
...what would it be? |
| 00:06:31 |
I suppose it would be: |
| 00:06:33 |
"How did you do it? |
| 00:06:35 |
How did you evolve? How did you |
| 00:06:37 |
survive technological |
| 00:06:40 |
...without |
| 00:06:42 |
That more than any |
| 00:06:45 |
one I personally |
| 00:06:47 |
Not too bad, Mike. |
| 00:06:50 |
I join Dr. Bergeron... |
| 00:06:51 |
...in expressing thanks for |
| 00:06:55 |
We're all impressed |
| 00:06:58 |
...and your stamina. |
| 00:07:00 |
I think we're ready to move |
| 00:07:04 |
I have one more question. |
| 00:07:06 |
Yes, Mr. Joss. |
| 00:07:11 |
Would you consider yourself... |
| 00:07:14 |
...a spiritual person? |
| 00:07:22 |
I don't understand the |
| 00:07:25 |
I consider myself |
| 00:07:28 |
We're sure that's the case, but |
| 00:07:30 |
what Mr. Joss is |
| 00:07:33 |
Do you believe in God? |
| 00:07:44 |
As a scientist... |
| 00:07:46 |
...I rely on empirical |
| 00:07:50 |
...I don't believe that |
| 00:07:54 |
So your answer would in fact be |
| 00:08:02 |
I don't understand the |
| 00:08:08 |
95% of the world's |
| 00:08:11 |
...believes in a Supreme |
| 00:08:16 |
I believe that makes the |
| 00:08:34 |
I believe... |
| 00:08:40 |
I believe I've already |
| 00:08:46 |
I'm proud of what we've |
| 00:08:50 |
...and as a civilization. |
| 00:08:53 |
I would hate to see |
| 00:08:56 |
...all that we have fought for |
| 00:09:00 |
...all that God has |
| 00:09:04 |
...betrayed... |
| 00:09:06 |
...in the final |
| 00:09:09 |
a representative who |
| 00:09:12 |
...most cherished |
| 00:09:18 |
Thank you. |
| 00:09:52 |
Why'd you do it? |
| 00:09:58 |
Our job was to select someone |
| 00:10:05 |
I couldn't in good conscience |
| 00:10:09 |
...who doesn't believe in God. |
| 00:10:13 |
Someone who... |
| 00:10:15 |
...honestly thinks |
| 00:10:18 |
...suffer from some |
| 00:10:24 |
I told the truth up there. |
| 00:10:28 |
Drumlin told you exactly |
| 00:11:06 |
With full humility |
| 00:11:09 |
...I accept this great honor... |
| 00:11:12 |
...and I promise I will do my |
| 00:11:16 |
...my planet and my |
| 00:11:19 |
...journey. |
| 00:11:21 |
I thank you from the |
| 00:12:06 |
There's a carnival atmosphere |
| 00:12:09 |
...as the International |
| 00:12:11 |
...hosts as much a media |
| 00:12:15 |
David Drumlin is supervising |
| 00:12:17 |
the on-site |
| 00:12:19 |
We spoke with |
| 00:12:21 |
We'll be able to |
| 00:12:24 |
and effects using |
| 00:12:27 |
...who we lovingly call Elmer. |
| 00:12:35 |
The press wants to ask |
| 00:12:37 |
...as soon as they're |
| 00:12:43 |
When we release the |
| 00:12:45 |
amount of energy |
| 00:12:48 |
We'll be able to monitor |
| 00:12:51 |
...using our robot |
| 00:12:54 |
...lovingly call Elmer. |
| 00:12:56 |
Thank you. |
| 00:12:58 |
You're welcome. |
| 00:13:00 |
They're ready for |
| 00:13:03 |
Yeah, just a minute. |
| 00:13:11 |
- Congratulations. |
| 00:13:15 |
Didn't expect to see you here. |
| 00:13:18 |
Well, I'm still... |
| 00:13:20 |
...Crew Ops at |
| 00:13:23 |
I suppose the fact |
| 00:13:25 |
the message means |
| 00:13:28 |
Of course. |
| 00:13:31 |
I know you must think |
| 00:13:34 |
And maybe that's |
| 00:13:38 |
What you don't |
| 00:13:41 |
I wish the world was a place |
| 00:13:42 |
where fair was |
| 00:13:44 |
...where the |
| 00:13:46 |
at the hearing was rewarded... |
| 00:13:48 |
...not taken advantage of. |
| 00:13:52 |
Unfortunately, we don't |
| 00:13:57 |
Funny... |
| 00:13:59 |
...I always believed the |
| 00:14:04 |
Excuse me! |
| 00:14:09 |
Good luck on the test. |
| 00:14:11 |
Thank you. |
| 00:14:21 |
Test director... |
| 00:14:22 |
...everything looks |
| 00:14:25 |
I want things double |
| 00:14:28 |
We only get one shot at |
| 00:14:32 |
Ladies and gentlemen, we |
| 00:14:35 |
All controllers, I need a |
| 00:14:39 |
- Mechanical? |
| 00:14:40 |
Electrical? |
| 00:14:41 |
Dynamics? |
| 00:14:43 |
Communications? |
| 00:14:44 |
Pod systems? |
| 00:14:45 |
Safety? |
| 00:14:47 |
Crew Ops, verify all pre-test |
| 00:14:50 |
Yes, verified. I'm go. |
| 00:14:52 |
Pad Leader, is |
| 00:14:54 |
Roger. The pad is a go. |
| 00:14:57 |
Test initiation, on my mark. |
| 00:15:00 |
5... |
| 00:15:02 |
...4... |
| 00:15:04 |
...3... |
| 00:15:05 |
...2... |
| 00:15:07 |
...1. |
| 00:15:08 |
Mark. |
| 00:15:10 |
- Test start. |
| 00:15:12 |
Power levels show a good start. |
| 00:15:14 |
We've begun the test of... |
| 00:15:16 |
...earth's first |
| 00:15:18 |
knowledge with a |
| 00:15:20 |
All power sources on |
| 00:15:23 |
IPV power transfer. |
| 00:15:25 |
Ring motion detect. |
| 00:15:29 |
- Gerry, how are we looking? |
| 00:15:33 |
Looks like a normal start-up. |
| 00:15:35 |
Roger, David. It's |
| 00:15:43 |
We are moments away from the |
| 00:15:44 |
initiation of |
| 00:15:46 |
All systems are go. |
| 00:15:51 |
- Mechanical, you still happy? |
| 00:15:53 |
It's very exciting... |
| 00:15:54 |
...from up here. |
| 00:15:58 |
We've got 4%. |
| 00:16:00 |
We're confirming 4%. |
| 00:16:03 |
Frequency 9.85. |
| 00:16:07 |
Harmonics in the green. |
| 00:16:09 |
G-level 1.1. |
| 00:16:13 |
- 5%. |
| 00:16:16 |
David, how's it looking to you? |
| 00:16:18 |
Okay. I'm going to take a |
| 00:16:21 |
Instrumentation looks good. |
| 00:16:23 |
We have a good picture |
| 00:16:27 |
Hope you guys are |
| 00:16:30 |
All systems are go. |
| 00:16:34 |
This is really something! |
| 00:16:35 |
For purposes of this test... |
| 00:16:37 |
...Dr. Drumlin will |
| 00:16:39 |
Gantry crane that's |
| 00:16:42 |
We've got some |
| 00:16:44 |
...to show just |
| 00:16:46 |
it is thought... will work. |
| 00:16:48 |
The passenger pod will release. |
| 00:16:50 |
It will come down |
| 00:16:52 |
the rings and into |
| 00:16:54 |
The question everyone |
| 00:16:57 |
...what happens then? |
| 00:16:59 |
Some believe the |
| 00:17:01 |
sort of an accelerator |
| 00:17:04 |
...sending its |
| 00:17:06 |
...making it rocket |
| 00:17:09 |
Others believe it might open up |
| 00:17:11 |
a doorway to some |
| 00:17:14 |
Who's right? |
| 00:17:15 |
That's what today's |
| 00:17:18 |
- 35%. |
| 00:17:20 |
40% normal acceleration. |
| 00:17:22 |
Confirm 40%. |
| 00:17:24 |
Controllers stand by to |
| 00:17:27 |
...on my mark. |
| 00:17:29 |
All systems ready |
| 00:17:31 |
45%. |
| 00:17:34 |
We're in 45%. |
| 00:17:37 |
Verify closure. |
| 00:17:40 |
46. |
| 00:17:42 |
All controllers |
| 00:17:45 |
IPV drop sequence. On my mark. |
| 00:17:47 |
48%. |
| 00:17:50 |
I'm feeling a very |
| 00:17:53 |
- Are you feeling |
| 00:17:54 |
- Gerry, can you confirm? |
| 00:17:56 |
Everything looks good. |
| 00:17:58 |
Crew Ops? |
| 00:17:59 |
Nothing wrong. |
| 00:18:00 |
We see nothing abnormal here. |
| 00:18:02 |
No good. Hold sequence. |
| 00:18:06 |
What's he talking about? |
| 00:18:07 |
Can anyone say grandstanding? |
| 00:18:09 |
He sure knows he's on TV! |
| 00:18:11 |
Back home that's what we |
| 00:18:15 |
I'm reading 10 kilohertz! |
| 00:18:17 |
What do you read on the first |
| 00:18:20 |
G-levels are right on! |
| 00:18:24 |
We confirm Drumlin's |
| 00:18:28 |
I think we're okay, but |
| 00:18:32 |
- Mechanical, you still okay? |
| 00:18:36 |
Security problem! |
| 00:18:38 |
Ellie, are you sure? |
| 00:18:41 |
He shouldn't be |
| 00:18:42 |
Gerry, execute the |
| 00:18:46 |
Security, move emergency |
| 00:18:49 |
Get Drumlin on a secure loop. |
| 00:18:51 |
You got him. |
| 00:18:53 |
- Can you hear me? |
| 00:18:56 |
We've got a |
| 00:18:58 |
Behind you. |
| 00:18:59 |
The tall guy. |
| 00:19:01 |
The technician. |
| 00:19:02 |
See him? |
| 00:19:06 |
He shouldn't be there. |
| 00:19:13 |
Something's in his hand! |
| 00:19:16 |
Him! Take him! Security breach! |
| 00:19:19 |
A bomb! |
| 00:19:20 |
I want that emergency response |
| 00:19:24 |
Stage One Alert! |
| 00:19:25 |
Move all fire and rescue |
| 00:20:06 |
All right, back |
| 00:20:08 |
I need you to be |
| 00:20:12 |
Pad Leader, do you copy? |
| 00:20:32 |
The scene earlier today, |
| 00:20:35 |
...advisor to two Presidents... |
| 00:20:37 |
...and winner of the National |
| 00:20:38 |
Academy of Sciences |

In a related story... |

Can I help you? |
| 00:20:54 |
I've got some mail for you. |

terrorist now |

What we do... |

This won't be |
| 00:21:13 |
...but the |
| 00:21:16 |
...will vindicate our faith. |
| 00:21:42 |
Welcome home. |

Comrade Arroway... |
| 00:22:52 |
...we have been expecting |
| 00:23:06 |
Mr. Hadden? |
| 00:23:07 |
Doctor! |
| 00:23:10 |
How kind of you to call. |
| 00:23:12 |
Mr. Hadden, where are you? |
| 00:23:16 |
The Russian government |
| 00:23:19 |
to give me |
| 00:23:22 |
You're living on |
| 00:23:25 |
It's quite simple, really. |
| 00:23:29 |
The low oxygen, zero |
| 00:23:32 |

| 00:23:35 |
the cancer from |
| 00:23:39 |
Actually, I quite |

My little room has |

I want to show you something. |
| 00:24:00 |
Hokkaido Island. |

The systems integration site. |

Look closer. |

First rule in |

Why build one when you can |

Only, this one |

Controlled by Americans... |

| 00:25:57 |
Okay, look, I understand... |
| 00:25:59 |
...the reason for recording |
| 00:26:03 |
But I just want to go |
| 00:26:06 |
The transmitted specs never |
| 00:26:07 |
said anything |
| 00:26:09 |
...or a restraining harness... |
| 00:26:12 |
...or survival gear. |
| 00:26:14 |
Why can't we just |
| 00:26:16 |
Doctor, both the |
| 00:26:18 |
SI team reviewed |
| 00:26:20 |
...and concluded that the |
| 00:26:24 |
Bottom line is... |
| 00:26:27 |
...we're not putting anyone |
| 00:26:29 |
...unless there is some |
| 00:26:32 |
End of story. |
| 00:26:41 |
We've given these |
| 00:26:42 |
since the start of |
| 00:26:46 |
It's never been made |
| 00:26:48 |
It's fast and it's painless. |
| 00:26:53 |
I'm going to travel 26 light |
| 00:26:56 |
Something may go wrong. |
| 00:26:59 |
There may be an unforeseen |
| 00:27:02 |
You could be marooned, |
| 00:27:06 |
There are 1,000 reasons we |
| 00:27:10 |
...but mostly it's for the |
| 00:27:39 |
Come in. |
| 00:27:42 |
Dr. Arroway, time to get ready. |
| 00:27:44 |
Thank you. |
| 00:27:57 |
I know there's not much time. |
| 00:27:58 |
As soon as I found out about |
| 00:28:02 |
I came with Kitz. |
| 00:28:04 |
I had to see you one more time. |
| 00:28:06 |
Oh, God, I'm sorry. |
| 00:28:09 |
No, I'm glad you came. |
| 00:28:11 |
There's something |
| 00:28:14 |
The reason I |
| 00:28:16 |
was a good one, but |
| 00:28:19 |
I didn't vote for you to go... |
| 00:28:23 |
...because I don't |
| 00:28:26 |
Now you find your |
| 00:28:45 |
23 hours ago, the world... |
| 00:28:47 |
...was stunned by |
| 00:28:49 |
of the existence of |
| 00:28:51 |
...and its passenger, |
| 00:28:55 |
Now... |
| 00:28:56 |
...the question that's |
| 00:28:58 |
Will history repeat itself? |
| 00:29:01 |
With a piece of |
| 00:29:03 |
...with so many unknowns, |
| 00:29:07 |
The security in Hokkaido |
| 00:29:11 |
No reporters whatsoever have |
| 00:31:55 |
Restraint secure. Life |
| 00:31:58 |
Roger. |
| 00:31:59 |
This is Control. Do you copy? |
| 00:32:01 |
Reading you |
| 00:32:04 |
Give me Ellie's PRD. |
| 00:32:05 |
Video unit recording |
| 00:32:09 |
- Are you reading me? |
| 00:32:12 |
Video looks good. |
| 00:32:14 |
Copy, Control. |
| 00:32:17 |
Ellie, we're going to |
| 00:32:21 |
I'm ready. |
| 00:32:26 |
Confirming walkway retraction. |
| 00:32:29 |
- Communications? |
| 00:32:31 |
- Life support? |
| 00:32:33 |
We are go for closure. |
| 00:32:37 |
I'm go here. |
| 00:32:39 |
Mechanical, initiate |
| 00:32:45 |
Let me get you a chair. |
| 00:32:49 |
- It's nice to smell |
| 00:32:51 |
- You too. |
| 00:32:53 |
Wouldn't peg him as a Polo man. |
| 00:33:04 |
I got a visual on the door. |
| 00:33:08 |
The door is looking good. |
| 00:33:15 |
Door alignment looks good. |
| 00:33:46 |
We're green across the board. |
| 00:33:48 |
Copy that, Control. |
| 00:33:58 |
We are at 30%. |
| 00:34:00 |
Copy that, 30%. |
| 00:34:06 |
How you doing in there? |
| 00:34:08 |
Kent? |
| 00:34:10 |
Is that you? |
| 00:34:11 |
That's a big affirmative. |
| 00:34:13 |
Who let you in there? |
| 00:34:15 |
A higher power intervened. |
| 00:34:19 |
I'm glad you came. |
| 00:34:25 |
35%. |
| 00:34:27 |
Copy that, 35%. |
| 00:34:29 |
- Mechanical? |
| 00:34:31 |
40%. |
| 00:34:36 |
I'm picking up a |
| 00:34:39 |
Dynamics, can you |
| 00:34:41 |
It looks good here. |
| 00:34:42 |
She's feeling the same |
| 00:34:46 |
Vibration's normal. |
| 00:34:48 |
We are at 50%. All |
| 00:34:50 |
Copy that, 50%. |
| 00:34:58 |
Vibration's a |
| 00:35:00 |
We're picking up some |
| 00:35:03 |
Mechanical, confirm? |
| 00:35:05 |
It looks fine to me. |
| 00:35:06 |
Roger. Jerry, |
| 00:35:09 |
I'm still go. |
| 00:35:10 |
People, we are still go. |
| 00:35:14 |
Something's happening. |
| 00:35:20 |
You see that light? |
| 00:35:21 |
I'm seeing... |
| 00:35:26 |
I can't tell if it's daylight. |
| 00:35:29 |
There it is again. It's |
| 00:35:32 |
Let me show you. See that? |
| 00:35:34 |
Negative. You're breaking up. |
| 00:35:37 |
- Can we boost signal? |
| 00:35:39 |
65%. |
| 00:35:41 |
The material is changing. |
| 00:35:43 |
It's bordering on translucence. |
| 00:35:50 |
It has to be... |
| 00:35:51 |
...some kind of |
| 00:35:54 |
Do you read this? |
| 00:35:55 |
We see only interference. |
| 00:35:57 |
It's becoming translucent. |
| 00:36:00 |
I can't describe it. I |
| 00:36:05 |
70%. |
| 00:36:06 |
We have intermittent |

Initiate secondary |
| 00:36:11 |
Initiating auxiliary |
| 00:36:14 |
We're go for ignition. |
| 00:36:22 |
We have auxiliary ignition. |
| 00:36:31 |
Life support, how is she? |
| 00:36:32 |
Heart and respiration are |
| 00:36:35 |
Ellie, do you copy? |
| 00:36:37 |
If you hear... |
| 00:36:38 |
...I am okay to go. |
| 00:36:49 |
80%. |
| 00:36:50 |
All vibration and |
| 00:36:58 |
Control, if you're |
| 00:37:01 |
...I am okay to go! Okay to go! |
| 00:37:03 |
85%. |
| 00:37:05 |
All tips are on the profile. |
| 00:37:08 |
90%. We're detecting some |
| 00:37:12 |
- Is she holding? |
| 00:37:17 |
I'm okay to go! |
| 00:37:21 |
I'm okay to go! |
| 00:37:29 |
My God! |
| 00:37:41 |
Okay to go! |

I'm okay! |

Tremendous EMI |

We're approaching |

Okay to go. |
| 00:38:03 |
I hear her! |
| 00:38:04 |
I hear her. Barely, |
| 00:38:07 |
Okay to go. |
| 00:38:09 |
Says she's okay to go. |
| 00:38:13 |
Steve, we're real close. |

Inside the core, the |

Ellie to Control, |
| 00:39:19 |
Ellie to Control, |
| 00:39:28 |
I'll try... |
| 00:39:30 |
...to keep recording! |
| 00:39:32 |
I'm going through... |
| 00:39:34 |
...some kind of a tunnel! |
| 00:39:51 |
There's a light source ahead! |
| 00:39:54 |
Brilliant... |
| 00:39:55 |
...blue-white. |
| 00:39:58 |
Residual radiation? |
| 00:40:11 |
It's a star. |
| 00:40:13 |
I must have... |
| 00:40:15 |
...gone through a wormhole. |
| 00:40:22 |
It's Vega! |
| 00:40:34 |
I'm in another wormhole now! |
| 00:40:40 |
I had no idea! |
| 00:40:41 |
A series of them! |
| 00:40:46 |
They're alive. |
| 00:40:47 |
It's like... |
| 00:40:49 |
...some kind of |
| 00:40:52 |
A subway! |
| 00:40:53 |
Oh, God! |
| 00:41:01 |
I have to keep talking. |
| 00:41:06 |
It's a triple... |
| 00:41:07 |
...no, a quadruple system. |
| 00:41:10 |
Beautiful! |
| 00:41:14 |
They're alive! |
| 00:41:24 |
Another wormhole! |
| 00:41:26 |
This one's much more violent! |
| 00:43:01 |
Some... |
| 00:43:04 |
...celestial event... |
| 00:43:07 |
No! |
| 00:43:09 |
No words! |
| 00:43:11 |
No words... |
| 00:43:14 |
...to describe it! |
| 00:43:18 |
Poetry! |
| 00:43:21 |
They should have sent... |
| 00:43:23 |
...a poet. |
| 00:43:25 |
It's so beautiful! |
| 00:43:28 |
Beautiful! |
| 00:43:31 |
So beautiful. |
| 00:43:37 |
I had no idea. |
| 00:46:19 |
Hi, Sparks. |
| 00:46:22 |
Dad? |
| 00:46:31 |
I missed you. |
| 00:46:39 |
Aren't you...? |
| 00:46:40 |
I'm sorry I couldn't be |
| 00:46:53 |
You're not real. |
| 00:46:56 |
None of this is real! |
| 00:46:58 |
That's my scientist. |
| 00:47:01 |
When I was unconscious, you |
| 00:47:03 |
downloaded my |
| 00:47:06 |
Pensacola! |
| 00:47:11 |
We thought it might make |
| 00:47:27 |
Why did you contact us? |
| 00:47:29 |
You contacted us. |
| 00:47:31 |
We were just listening. |
| 00:47:34 |
There are others? |
| 00:47:35 |
Many others. |
| 00:47:42 |
They all... |
| 00:47:43 |
...travel here through that |
| 00:47:47 |
We didn't build it. |
| 00:47:50 |
We don't know who did. |
| 00:47:53 |
They were gone long |
| 00:47:57 |
Maybe someday |
| 00:48:00 |
All the civilizations |
| 00:48:02 |
Not all. |
| 00:48:05 |
- Is this some test? |
| 00:48:12 |
You have your mother's hands. |
| 00:48:23 |
You're an |
| 00:48:26 |
...an interesting mix. |
| 00:48:29 |
You're capable of such |
| 00:48:33 |
...and such |
| 00:48:36 |
You feel so lost... |
| 00:48:39 |
...so cut off, so alone. |
| 00:48:43 |
Only you're not. |
| 00:48:49 |
In all our searching... |
| 00:48:51 |
...all we've found that makes |
| 00:48:55 |
...is each other. |
| 00:49:00 |
What happens now? |
| 00:49:03 |
Now? |
| 00:49:05 |
You go home. |
| 00:49:07 |
Home? |
| 00:49:09 |
But... |
| 00:49:11 |
...I have so many questions. |
| 00:49:12 |
Do we get to come back? |
| 00:49:15 |
This was just a first step. |
| 00:49:18 |
In time, you'll take another. |
| 00:49:21 |
But other people need |
| 00:49:24 |
This is the way it's been |
| 00:49:29 |
Small moves, Ellie. |
| 00:49:33 |
Small moves. |
| 00:50:18 |
We've got video on Ellie! |
| 00:50:20 |
She's through! |
| 00:50:22 |
She's alive. Get the |
| 00:50:25 |
What's going on? How is she? |
| 00:50:27 |
Ellie, this is |
| 00:50:29 |
- What's going on? |
| 00:50:31 |
- She's alive. |
| 00:50:33 |
Ellie, hold on tight. |
| 00:50:35 |
We're still trying to determine |
| 00:50:37 |
the nature of |
| 00:50:39 |
...but the important |
| 00:50:42 |
What? |
| 00:50:43 |
It's all right. |
| 00:50:45 |
The important thing |
| 00:50:48 |
What malfunction? |
| 00:50:54 |
What happened? |
| 00:50:57 |
What day is this? |
| 00:50:59 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:51:00 |
Did you say what day? |
| 00:51:04 |
How long was I gone? |
| 00:51:07 |
The IPV dropped straight |
| 00:51:12 |
You didn't go anywhere. |
| 00:51:15 |
But I did. |
| 00:51:17 |
I did go. |
| 00:51:18 |
That's what I've |
| 00:51:25 |
But the headset didn't |
| 00:51:28 |
Just this. |
| 00:51:30 |
Static. |
| 00:51:31 |
Thank you. |
| 00:51:34 |
Let me show you what we saw. |
| 00:51:45 |
43 separate remote cameras |
| 00:51:49 |
The IPV dropped straight |
| 00:51:51 |
through. Everyone |
| 00:51:53 |
...the same thing. |
| 00:51:55 |
Nothing happened. |
| 00:51:58 |
How do you explain |
| 00:52:02 |
I can't. |
| 00:52:04 |
I'd encourage you... |
| 00:52:07 |
...not to inflame |
| 00:52:09 |
...beyond the facts. |
| 00:52:11 |
Let us deal with |
| 00:52:15 |
We are monitoring what |
| 00:52:18 |
We are taking what we |
| 00:52:21 |
...appropriate steps. |
| 00:52:24 |
Amid a flurry of accusations |
| 00:52:27 |
...by the nations representing |
| 00:52:30 |
...the President has |
| 00:52:33 |
But the appointment to the |
| 00:52:36 |
...who has resigned as |
| 00:52:39 |
...has raised eyebrows |
| 00:52:41 |
I have made no |
| 00:52:43 |
Congress, announced |
| 00:52:45 |
I resigned as National |
| 00:52:49 |
...in order to devote all |
| 00:52:54 |
The people of the world have a |
| 00:52:56 |
right to know what |
| 00:52:59 |
Yet every scientific |
| 00:53:02 |
...the IPV was out of contact |
| 00:53:04 |
for only a fraction |
| 00:53:06 |
Isn't that correct, Doctor? |
| 00:53:10 |
A fraction of a |
| 00:53:13 |
Earth time? |
| 00:53:15 |
Senator, I believe that the |
| 00:53:19 |
...a tunnel through |
| 00:53:21 |
known as an |
| 00:53:23 |
Due to the effect of |
| 00:53:26 |
what I experienced |
| 00:53:28 |
...passed |
| 00:53:30 |
Isn't it true |
| 00:53:33 |
merely theoretical predictions? |
| 00:53:35 |
There is no evidence |
| 00:53:38 |
There is no direct |
| 00:53:40 |
Tell me... |
| 00:53:41 |
...why would these aliens |
| 00:53:45 |
Bring you thousands |
| 00:53:47 |
then send you |
| 00:53:50 |
They said it's how it's been |
| 00:53:53 |
You have no proof because they |
| 00:53:57 |
A phenomenon known |
| 00:53:59 |
circles as a |
| 00:54:02 |
You think I was delusional? |
| 00:54:04 |
I do think you |
| 00:54:06 |
some kind of an |
| 00:54:08 |
I'd like to propose an |
| 00:54:11 |
...and I'd like |
| 00:54:13 |
scientific expertise |
| 00:54:15 |
To fake a signal from Vega... |
| 00:54:19 |
...what would you need? |
| 00:54:22 |
You'd need a |
| 00:54:24 |
it, but it would |
| 00:54:26 |
You'd need a satellite and |
| 00:54:28 |
launch capabilities |
| 00:54:30 |
And the message itself. To put |
| 00:54:34 |
...so complex, drawing |
| 00:54:36 |
Would be impossible. |
| 00:54:39 |
Impossible? |
| 00:54:41 |
Is there anyone who might |
| 00:54:45 |
Someone with extraordinary |
| 00:54:48 |
...enormous |
| 00:54:50 |
...someone perverse |
| 00:54:52 |
enough to come |
| 00:54:56 |
Hadden? |
| 00:54:58 |
S. R. Hadden. |
| 00:55:05 |
You're implying |
| 00:55:06 |
...some kind of a hoax? |
| 00:55:09 |
S. R. Hadden... |
| 00:55:11 |
...a legendary power broker in |
| 00:55:13 |
perhaps his final |
| 00:55:16 |
Maybe he wanted to |
| 00:55:19 |
...having world |
| 00:55:21 |
Perhaps this was his |
| 00:55:24 |
...to unite the world in some |
| 00:55:25 |
common goal. Maybe |
| 00:55:28 |
S. R. Hadden, a brilliant... |
| 00:55:31 |
...and complicated man. |
| 00:55:35 |
Doctor, are you familiar |
| 00:55:40 |
...known as Occam's Razor? |
| 00:55:48 |
Yes. |
| 00:55:51 |
It means the |
| 00:55:53 |
generally tends to |
| 00:55:56 |
Exactly. |
| 00:55:58 |
You tell me. What |
| 00:56:01 |
A message from aliens results |
| 00:56:04 |
...that whisks you to the |
| 00:56:07 |
...to windsurf with Dad |
| 00:56:10 |
...returns you home without |
| 00:56:14 |
Or that your experience |
| 00:56:18 |
...the unwitting star in the |
| 00:56:21 |
...S.R. Hadden? |
| 00:56:22 |
A man with the means and motive |
| 00:56:26 |
...as pawns in |
| 00:56:29 |
most expensive |
| 00:56:36 |
You come to us with no |
| 00:56:40 |
...no artifacts... |
| 00:56:42 |
...only a story that, to put |
| 00:56:48 |
Over half a trillion |
| 00:56:51 |
Dozens of lives were lost. |
| 00:56:54 |
Are you going to |
| 00:56:57 |
us we should just |
| 00:57:00 |
...on faith? |
| 00:57:05 |
Please answer the |
| 00:57:11 |
Is it possible that |
| 00:57:14 |
Yes. |
| 00:57:18 |
As a scientist I must concede |
| 00:57:25 |
Let me get this straight. |
| 00:57:27 |
You admit you have no physical |
| 00:57:32 |
Yes. |
| 00:57:33 |
You admit you may have |
| 00:57:37 |
You admit if you were |
| 00:57:39 |
...you would be as incredulous |
| 00:57:44 |
Then why don't |
| 00:57:46 |
your testimony and concede... |
| 00:57:49 |
...that this |
| 00:57:51 |
of the galaxy never took place? |
| 00:57:56 |
Because I can't. |
| 00:58:04 |
I had an experience. |
| 00:58:09 |
I can't prove it. I |
| 00:58:12 |
But everything I know as a |
| 00:58:15 |
...tells me it was real. |
| 00:58:20 |
I was given |
| 00:58:22 |
something that |
| 00:58:24 |
A vision... |
| 00:58:25 |
...of the universe... |
| 00:58:28 |
...that tells us undeniably... |
| 00:58:30 |
...how tiny and |
| 00:58:33 |
...and how rare and |
| 00:58:38 |
A vision that tells us that |
| 00:58:41 |
...that is greater |
| 00:58:44 |
that none of us are alone. |
| 00:58:51 |
I wish I could share that. |
| 00:58:57 |
I wish... |
| 00:59:00 |
...that everyone, |
| 00:59:03 |
...moment... |
| 00:59:04 |
...could feel... |
| 00:59:06 |
...that awe and |
| 00:59:18 |
That continues to be my wish. |
| 01:00:02 |
Dr. Arroway, can I |
| 01:00:47 |
Reverend Joss! |
| 01:00:48 |
What do you believe?! |
| 01:00:55 |
As a person of |
| 01:00:57 |
different covenant |
| 01:01:01 |
But our goal is |
| 01:01:04 |
The pursuit of truth. |
| 01:01:09 |
I, for one, believe her. |
| 01:01:34 |
So what happens now? |
| 01:01:37 |
I'd say at least |
| 01:01:40 |
You read the |
| 01:01:42 |
from the investigating |
| 01:01:44 |
I flipped through it. |
| 01:01:46 |
I was very interested in the |
| 01:01:48 |
section on |
| 01:01:51 |
The one that |
| 01:01:54 |
Continue. |
| 01:01:57 |
The fact that it recorded |
| 01:02:05 |
Continue. |
| 01:02:08 |
What interests me... |
| 01:02:10 |
...is that it recorded |
| 01:02:19 |
That is interesting, isn't it? |
| 01:02:27 |
And you can see |
| 01:02:29 |
building 45 brand new dishes. |
| 01:02:31 |
That means when you |
| 01:02:33 |
with all the |
| 01:02:35 |
...all over the world... |
| 01:02:37 |
...we'll hear |
| 01:02:39 |
than anyone has |
| 01:02:43 |
Are there other people |
| 01:02:47 |
That's a good question. |
| 01:02:48 |
What do you think? |
| 01:02:50 |
I don't know. |
| 01:02:52 |
That's a good answer. |
| 01:02:55 |
Skeptic, huh? |
| 01:02:57 |
The important thing |
| 01:02:59 |
keep searching for |
| 01:03:02 |
One thing about the |
| 01:03:05 |
The universe... |
| 01:03:07 |
...is a pretty big place. |
| 01:03:10 |
It's bigger than anything... |
| 01:03:12 |
...anyone has ever |
| 01:03:17 |
So if it's just us... |
| 01:03:20 |
...it seems like an |
| 01:03:24 |
Right? |
