00:00:00Voyager 1, this is Mars Lander. We have a wingman's cap at this time.
00:00:07Mars Lander, this is Voyager 1. Picture is looking good, Bryce.
00:00:14Roger. Proceeding to phase 3 of the EVA.
00:00:19The voices you hear are astronaut Dave Higgins in the command module
00:00:23and Colonel Bryce Randolph, the first man to set foot on Mars.
00:00:30Look at the door.
00:00:32And now you see it. He's preparing to plant the flag.
00:00:41What a fantastic moment this is.
00:00:44Looking good.
00:00:47Looking good, Dave.
00:00:49Roger. I advise Space Comm. I estimate soil density .90.
00:00:54Roger.
00:00:55Copy .90.
00:00:57On schedule, Bryce.
00:00:59EVA still camera set.
00:01:02Camera on.
00:01:03Roger.
00:01:05Proceeding to phase 4, EVA activity.
00:01:12Voyager 1.
00:01:14Dave, get on the laser.
00:01:15Advise Space Comm.
00:01:16Consulting out all the time.
00:01:17Move the plane , take off the plane.
00:01:21The plane.
00:01:22Something's wrong.
00:01:23Something's gone wrong.
00:01:24Shhh, Gail. It's all right.
00:01:26One moment, please. We seem to...
00:01:30We'll hear the voice of Kurt Anderson, director of the Mars mission.
00:01:32director of the Mars mission. This is Space Command. We regret we have lost UHF communication
00:01:36with Voyager 1. This includes picture and voice. However, there is no cause for alarm.
00:01:41We are in contact with the mission by means of our laser communications system. Space
00:01:46Command will issue continuous reports on the progress of the mission. We repeat, there
00:01:51is no cause for alarm.
00:01:57To climax this busy week of news, the President today unveiled his emergency economic program.
00:02:02Which included massive cuts in federal spending during the remainder of 1981.
00:02:06Significantly, the President made no mention of cutting the US space budget, long a target of his.
00:02:11We can assume that the President, like the public, feels more kindly towards space in the light of yesterday's success on Mars.
00:02:17Call the director. Tell him to meet me in the projection room.
00:02:20Space Command reports that Colonel Randolph's lander has rejoined Voyager 1.
00:02:24And now the two astronauts are safely on their way home.
00:02:27Voyager 1. Voyager 1. Voyager 1. This is Space Comm on Laser 5. Do you read me?
00:02:33Space Comm. This is Voyager.
00:02:35Oh man, skip away the bend.
00:02:37Sorry, Dave. We've been working around the clock on the problem. How are you doing?
00:02:41Pretty shaky. Did you decide anything?
00:02:43Negative, Dave. Continue executing emergency plan delta. Maintain UHF silence.
00:02:49Good. What about ER-1?
00:02:52We're considering it. Do it, Kirk. We've got my vote.
00:03:00Never mind, Susan. We know that.
00:03:04I'll decide tonight, Dave. Meantime, you try to get some sleep. Space Comm out.
00:03:10Kirk, for what it's worth, we're all voting for ER-1.
00:03:16I know that.
00:03:20My God, am I the only man in this building hung up on morality?
00:03:27When ER-1 was proposed, I never dreamed we'd have to use it.
00:03:30What's more, I never thought we'd find a man who could make it work.
00:03:32I've changed my mind.
00:03:34Watch.
00:03:36There's our man, Eddie Reese. He's two years younger than Bryce. Same height, same vocal range.
00:03:45He's got no family, no attachments, and at the moment, no job.
00:03:48IQ profile indicates he's above average intelligence.
00:03:51There's a bonus. You'll see it in this file.
00:03:54He was an Air Force pilot.
00:03:56Resigned for the good of the service.
00:03:59Yeah, well, accidents happen to all of us. Anyway, that's not the point.
00:04:02There's the point.
00:04:10Dr. Wiley, what do you think?
00:04:12Well, of course, I'd have to see him.
00:04:15But it looks like a fairly simple plastic procedure.
00:04:19Jack, I don't know his file here. He looks like a loser.
00:04:23Moves from place to place all the time. Can't seem to hold a job.
00:04:27Well, he's just a man who needs a second chance, Kurt.
00:04:29A job at the space program would give him back his life.
00:04:33Anyway, that's what he told me.
00:04:36You talked to him?
00:04:37I brought him into town tonight. He's an hour away from here.
00:04:40You're moving pretty fast.
00:04:41We've got to move, Kurt. There are no alternatives left.
00:04:45There's one.
00:04:47We can still tell the truth.
00:04:49That's not an alternative. That's the end of the space program.
00:04:51You tell that man in the White House what we're into, he closes down in a minute.
00:04:55And then we never get to the real truth, the truth that matters, the truth about what happened out there.
00:05:01A lie to find the truth.
00:05:03Don't call it a lie. Call it what it is, Kurt.
00:05:05It's a gamble for time.
00:05:07All right, all right. If we lose, then we can confess our sins.
00:05:09But if we win...
00:05:11Oh, Kurt, if we win, then all of the sacrifices of the past 20 years haven't been for nothing.
00:05:16This Eddie Reese, does he know he'd have to give up his own identity?
00:05:22He doesn't know anything.
00:05:24He doesn't have to know the full story at first.
00:05:26If he proves he can do the job, then we commit.
00:05:29All right, get him in here.
00:05:32We'll see what he's made of.
00:05:34Eddie Reese, two years younger than Bryce.
00:05:38Same height, same vocal range.
00:05:40He's got no family, no attachments.
00:05:42And at the moment, no job.
00:05:44IQ profile indicates above-average intelligence.
00:05:46And there's a bonus you'll remember from his file.
00:05:49He was an Air Force pilot.
00:05:51You read all my records, sir?
00:05:53The rest of your record doesn't interest me, Eddie. Okay?
00:05:56Okay.
00:05:57You were at Laughlin back in 1974.
00:06:00You ever meet Bryce Randolph there?
00:06:02No, sir, not really.
00:06:04He was a senior instructor.
00:06:07I saw all of his lectures.
00:06:09And I took a lot of kidding because I kind of looked like him then.
00:06:20Is that why I'm here?
00:06:23Eddie, what I'm about to tell you must remain top secret whether you take this assignment or not.
00:06:27Yes, sir.
00:06:29I think you know what pressure the space program has been under.
00:06:32And what would happen to that program if the world found out we'd had serious problems on Mars?
00:06:37We had serious problems, Eddie.
00:06:40There's something in the Martian atmosphere that we just weren't prepared for.
00:06:43Something that we still don't understand.
00:06:45Apparently, it penetrated Bryce Randolph's space suit.
00:06:49We have indications it will affect his behavior.
00:06:52Now, in 70 days, the mission returns.
00:06:55We're gonna need time and dollars to find our answers.
00:06:59But in 70 days, the public expects to see a hero.
00:07:02And we must be able to show them one.
00:07:04Bryce Randolph will appear in public.
00:07:07Even if someone else has to make those appearances for him.
00:07:12We need a stand-in, Eddie.
00:07:14Someone to keep the illusion alive.
00:07:15To keep the program alive.
00:07:17Do you understand the desperation of what I'm saying?
00:07:20Yes, sir, I do, but...
00:07:23What good would I be?
00:07:25Sir, I'd be in over my head.
00:07:27We train you, Eddie.
00:07:28Day and night.
00:07:29We'll give you the background to pull it off.
00:07:32All right, yeah, but...
00:07:35My face...
00:07:36It's just not the same.
00:07:38We can make it the same.
00:07:39We have that capability.
00:07:41Surgery?
00:07:42Plastic injection.
00:07:43If we get that far.
00:07:46Wow, you've, uh...
00:07:49Really thought of everything.
00:07:50We've had this plan in our pocket a long time, Eddie.
00:07:53It was Bryce's idea.
00:07:54Bryce?
00:07:55That's right.
00:07:56He called it Emergency Replacement Plan 1.
00:07:58But we'll let Bryce tell you about it.
00:08:00Hello, ER1.
00:08:05This is Bryce Randolph.
00:08:07If you're listening to this, it's because we're in trouble.
00:08:09I know you're very much in the dark right now,
00:08:11but I hope you decide to help us.
00:08:13I've prepared a full course of training for you if your answer is yes.
00:08:16I hope it is.
00:08:17And that someday I can shake your hand and say thank you,
00:08:20for all of us, for keeping our dream alive.
00:08:30Well, Eddie?
00:08:41It's funny.
00:08:42I guess the thing I'm really afraid of is, uh...
00:08:46losing Eddie Reese.
00:08:48Not that he's all that much to lose.
00:08:50It may not come to that.
00:08:52If it does, I'll give you the right to bail out before we commit the surgery.
00:08:57Okay.
00:09:05I'll do the best I can, sir.
00:09:07My name is Kurt.
00:09:15Good morning, ER1.
00:09:17This will continue your familiarization with my life,
00:09:19my behavior patterns,
00:09:21and the sound of my voice.
00:09:23This phase of your training will be augmented by conscious and subliminal tapes.
00:09:28You will notice you have the ability to stop and start the film
00:09:30to enable you to practice imitating phrases as I say them.
00:09:33Please stop the film and repeat my last phrase at this time.
00:09:41Uh...
00:09:42Please stop the film and repeat my last phrase at this time.
00:09:44Tom Everett, space writer.
00:09:49Longtime friend of Bryce's.
00:09:55Tony Rogers.
00:09:57Widow of astronaut Zack Rogers.
00:09:59Close friend of the Randolphs.
00:10:04Gail Perkins Randolph.
00:10:06Bryce's wife.
00:10:07Married eight years, no children.
00:10:11Does she know he's in trouble?
00:10:13Not yet.
00:10:15She's pregnant with their first child.
00:10:19Retention check.
00:10:20Sleep teach cassette number four.
00:10:21What is the home and mission profile?
00:10:24It's a theoretical trajectory to Mars,
00:10:26which requires minimal energy demand,
00:10:28but overall mission length is 970 days.
00:10:30Contrast this with 152 days on parabolic trajectory of Voyager 1.
00:10:36Fred Myers, Astrophysics Department, Caltech.
00:10:40Jim Parkinson, last director of the old NASA program.
00:10:43General Frank Cable, space liaison office of the Pentagon.
00:10:46It is difficult for me to evaluate my father even at this time.
00:10:49He was 50 when I was born.
00:10:52He was a man of strong principle who believed in God and the McGuffey reader.
00:10:56On board stabilizer control.
00:10:58Auto descent, command and override.
00:11:00ACA mode control.
00:11:01Horses got side panel.
00:11:03Spectroscope panel.
00:11:04Right, left retro switches.
00:11:05Laser comm, frequency control.
00:11:07Yes.
00:11:08John Phillips International Wire Service, Colonel Randolph at the center of your Lander was behind schedule.
00:11:10Would you explain that?
00:11:12We ran into some unexpected changes.
00:11:14He was a man from the enemy.
00:11:15The enemy was a strong principle.
00:11:16He was a man from the enemy.
00:11:17He was a man from the enemy.
00:11:18Who believed in God and the McGuffey reader.
00:11:19On board stabilizer control.
00:11:21Auto descent.
00:11:22Command and override.
00:11:23ACA mode control.
00:11:24We ran into some unexpected G-pole from DEMAS, the Martian satellite.
00:11:28We adjusted orbit, made descent on the next pass. Yes.
00:11:31Colonel, were you alarmed at the communications failure?
00:11:33Negative.
00:11:34Lasercom has always been our primary system. It allows for instant communication.
00:11:38Whereas with UHF, there is a two-minute, twelve-second delay. Question.
00:11:41Just one more.
00:11:43How do you feel?
00:11:45I feel fine.
00:11:50Come by my office in about five minutes.
00:11:54It's time to talk, Eddie.
00:11:58You're only halfway through your training, Eddie, but I think you can pull it off. What do you think?
00:12:02I don't know. I...
00:12:04Bryce feels like a part of me now. I...
00:12:07I guess if I had to, I could do it.
00:12:10Well, you have to. I want you to decide about the surgery today.
00:12:14I don't get it.
00:12:16If Bryce doesn't get back... Bryce isn't coming back, Eddie.
00:12:19He never was.
00:12:22What?
00:12:23I'm sorry.
00:12:25We didn't want to scare you off until we were sure.
00:12:28But now you have to know.
00:12:33This is where we blacked out the TV picture.
00:12:35We, in this building.
00:12:38And here's why we did.
00:12:40Where'd you run?
00:12:42Dave.
00:12:43Get on the laser.
00:12:46Advise.
00:12:47Space comm.
00:12:48Cut the picture.
00:12:51You copy, Dave? Cut the picture.
00:12:55Roger.
00:12:56What's happening?
00:12:58I think we got a problem here.
00:13:01I'm reading a funny odor.
00:13:04Seems to be penetrating my suit.
00:13:07Bryce.
00:13:08Bryce, do you read?
00:13:10Uh, Dave, I think we're in some trouble now.
00:13:14My legs are going to sleep on me.
00:13:16Get back to Orlando, babe.
00:13:18Negative.
00:13:19Negative.
00:13:20Negative.
00:13:21I can't move the legs, Dave.
00:13:25Numbness spreading upward now.
00:13:26Rapidly.
00:13:27I need to move.
00:13:28Can't.
00:13:29Listen.
00:13:30Before I can't talk, get Spectra sample.
00:13:31Find out.
00:13:32Get Spectra.
00:13:33Back.

00:14:24I'll tell you what, Eddie
00:14:27You pull this off
00:14:30And we'll send you out to pasture with a new face
00:14:32You don't have to be Bryce Randolph forever
00:14:34You got a plan for that, too?
00:14:36I'll let you read it
00:14:38Look, we're getting pretty close
00:14:39We've worked out the recovery switch
00:14:41And a thousand other details
00:14:42You'll be on your feet tomorrow
00:14:44So we want you to be part of all our planning
00:14:46Make sure we don't miss anything
00:14:47Hey, what about Gail Randolph?
00:14:51Have you told her yet?
00:14:52I've been avoiding that
00:14:54She's very dear to all of us
00:14:56Kurt, you gotta tell her
00:14:58I know
00:15:00I will
00:15:03And I did it all myself
00:15:07The surprise Bryce when he comes back
00:15:10Oh, it looks fine
00:15:12Just fine
00:15:13You think you'll like it?
00:15:15I want it all to be so special
00:15:17Gail, can we talk?
00:15:22Yeah, in a minute
00:15:23You pretend that you're Bryce
00:15:26Seeing it for the first time
00:15:27Okay?
00:15:28What do you think he'll say?
00:15:31Gail
00:15:31Gee, Gail, you did this by yourself?
00:15:35You won't believe it
00:15:36Well, he doesn't think that
00:15:38He doesn't think too much of me, does he, Kurt?
00:15:45That's not true
00:15:46I always seem to let him down
00:15:48Didn't he ever say
00:15:51I'm disappointed in Gail
00:15:54That's what I picture him saying
00:15:56Gail's a mistake
00:15:57And
00:15:58The baby's a mistake
00:16:00Well
00:16:04That's what he said to me
00:16:06But he's right
00:16:09Probably
00:16:11He always is right
00:16:13It's
00:16:17It's just that I thought that
00:16:19That the baby
00:16:20Kurt, I'm trying to hang on to him
00:16:33But I don't know if I can
00:16:34I'm sorry
00:16:40Hey, you got a fever
00:16:42No
00:16:43Just nerves
00:16:43Pure nerves
00:16:44I'm gonna get Dr. Wiley over here
00:16:46In the meantime
00:16:47I'd like you to get right in bed
00:16:48And bundle up
00:16:48Are you everybody, Skipper?
00:16:51Gail, please
00:16:52Will you help me
00:16:55Till he gets back?
00:16:59Of course I will
00:17:00Tell me what he's doing right now
00:17:07This minute
00:17:08Sleeping
00:17:14Probably sleeping
00:17:16You should have told her
00:17:22I just couldn't
00:17:23I didn't think she could cope with it
00:17:24Kurt, recovery team meeting confirmed
00:17:260900
00:17:27Thank you
00:17:27Look, Kurt, it's four days till splashdown
00:17:29Now, how long do you think you can stall?
00:17:31I'm not stalling
00:17:31I'm gambling for time, remember?
00:17:33I think we owe her that much
00:17:35Security is the name of the game
00:17:39Aside from those of you in this room
00:17:41Only eight other individuals
00:17:43Have any knowledge of ER-1
00:17:44And I'd like to keep it that way
00:17:45Here's how we'll do it
00:17:47At a thousand miles out
00:17:49Dave Higgins
00:17:49Will break UHF's silence
00:17:51We'll put him on the air
00:17:52Full TV coverage
00:17:53Just before re-entry
00:17:55He'll report a malfunction
00:17:56In the auto-descent system
00:17:57We'll request Dave McEmmanuel re-entry
00:17:59We'll set up his retro burn
00:18:01So that he will intentionally
00:18:02Overshoot the splashdown area
00:18:04By a hundred miles
00:18:05Away from the recovery fleet here
00:18:07But within ten miles
00:18:08Of our base on Baker Island
00:18:09Waiting on Baker
00:18:10Will be Jack Phillips
00:18:11And a helicopter rescue team
00:18:13Inside that helicopter
00:18:15Excuse me
00:18:16Yes?
00:18:18Very good
00:18:19Send him in
00:18:19We're gonna pause for just a moment
00:18:22So that our most important staff member
00:18:24Can take his place with us
00:18:25I believe you all know
00:18:30Colonel Bryce Randolph
00:18:31Bryce?
00:18:36Bryce?
00:18:38Bryce
00:18:39Is it time?
00:18:41Easy, Gail
00:18:41Easy
00:18:42Huh?
00:18:44Now listen to me
00:18:45You're a very sick girl
00:18:47Unless you improve by this evening
00:18:49I'm gonna have to move you
00:18:50To a hospital
00:18:50No
00:18:52Is that clear?
00:18:53Now I want you to stay in bed
00:18:55Tony is here
00:18:57She'll give you all the news
00:18:59When you wake up
00:19:01Loud and clear, Voyager
00:19:14Oh, any better?
00:19:18No
00:19:18Make sure she keeps warm
00:19:20I'll be back in a couple of hours
00:19:22Roger
00:19:22Copy
00:19:23Where are they?
00:19:27They're about to start re-entry
00:19:29Copy
00:19:31Roger
00:19:32We're on it
00:19:32Good luck to us all
00:19:34Please now understand your problem
00:19:36Out of descent mode is disengaged
00:19:38Manual override is green
00:19:41Standing by for re-entry
00:19:43Retrofire at their command
00:19:45Affirmative, Voyager 1
00:19:46We have 30 seconds to retro burn
00:19:49At the mark
00:19:50Mark
00:19:51Mark
00:19:52All recovery units
00:19:53Stand by for splashdown revised
00:19:55Hold on to the elevator
00:20:10Hold on to the elevator
00:20:11Hold on to the elevator
00:20:14Oh, man, is that a beautiful sight.
00:20:37They're down. They're down.
00:20:40Space Command reports that Voyager 1 has made a successful splashdown.
00:20:44We apologize for lack of live picture,
00:20:46but the report is that the recovery chopper from Baker Island
00:20:48is now picking up the two astronauts.
00:21:06Is Bryce home?
00:21:07No. No, he isn't. Not yet.
00:21:11But he will be home very soon.
00:21:14He'll be landing on the carrier in just a few minutes.
00:21:22Now, you stay warm.
00:21:27I'll be in the kitchen.
00:21:28I can see them now.
00:21:32The chopper is approaching the carrier.
00:21:35They're getting closer.
00:21:36The men are all lined up at attention.
00:21:42Cameras everywhere.
00:21:44Here they come.
00:21:45Here they come.
00:21:47The chopper is touching down.
00:21:48He's on the deck.
00:21:49Doors are open.
00:21:51Out steps, Dane Higgins, and there's Colonel Randolph, Bryce Randolph, the first man to set foot on Mars.
00:22:01This is a great moment for us coming home if we feel so fortunate to have sailed a ship to a bright island called Mars.
00:22:15Ten years ago, Neil Armstrong took a giant ship for mankind.
00:22:21We hope, and we believe, that this mission is another great move forward in man's understanding of the universe and of himself.
00:22:29At this time, at this time, we'd like to thank our support teams around the world, and we would like the pleasure of an honest-to-God hot bath.
00:22:42Thank you very much.
00:22:57Yes, sir.
00:22:59But we thank you, not only...
00:23:02Yes, sir, I know we're on the radio.
00:23:04What I meant was, considering your past feelings about our work, we've been afraid you underestimated its importance.
00:23:12Well, that's wonderful, Mr. President.
00:23:17If what we've done has made you reconsider, then this mission has been very much worthwhile.
00:23:22What was that, sir?
00:23:25Yes, sir, she's fine.
00:23:30Yes, of course, I'll see her today.
00:23:33It's very kind of you to be concerned.
00:23:34Thank you, sir.
00:23:38Yes, sir, he's right here.
00:23:38Would you hold on, please?
00:23:39Yes, sir.
00:23:43Thank you, sir.
00:23:46Thank you, sir.
00:23:51Yes, sir.
00:23:53Oh, yes.
00:23:55That was brilliant.
00:23:58You trapped the President of the United States into making a public statement of support.
00:24:01Yeah, and trapped myself into seeing Gail when we land.
00:24:06Well, isn't that the way you planned it all along?
00:24:08No.
00:24:09But now I think it's the only solution.
00:24:11Why?
00:24:12She needs to grow strong so we can tell her the truth.
00:24:15She needs her husband.
00:24:15She hasn't got a husband.
00:24:17Now she doesn't have a child, either.
00:24:20Kurt, this is the quicksand we stepped into.
00:24:23Kurt, this is the trap.
00:24:24Help her, Eddie.
00:24:25Maybe you can do it.
00:24:28Maybe even better than Bryce himself.
00:24:49Hi.
00:24:50Oh, my God.
00:24:59You're here.
00:25:00Hey, don't cry.
00:25:00No.
00:25:03Don't cry.
00:25:04It's all right.
00:25:05You know about the baby?
00:25:06Yes, I know.
00:25:08No.
00:25:11Come on.
00:25:12It would have been a bar.
00:25:14I know, I know.
00:25:16I'm sorry.
00:25:17I'm sorry.
00:25:18It's all right.
00:25:19No.
00:25:20I wasn't good enough.
00:25:22No.
00:25:23It wasn't a mistake.
00:25:24No.
00:25:25You're fine.
00:25:26No.
00:25:26You're fine.
00:25:28And you're good.
00:25:29And whatever happened is over.
00:25:32Oh.
00:25:34Oh.
00:25:36Oh.
00:25:39Oh.
00:25:44Just get well.
00:25:45That's all you have to do so I can tell you about Mars.
00:25:53Where do you?
00:25:54I'll tell you about that tree where I carved our initials.
00:26:00A tree?
00:26:01Sure.
00:26:02A big oak tree with your initials on it and a great big heart.
00:26:05Why are you being so nice to me?
00:26:13Because you're pretty.
00:26:19Will you take me home?
00:26:22The doctor said if I wanted to I could.
00:26:25And now I want to.
00:26:30Thank you very much.
00:26:44Good morning.
00:26:45Good morning, Paul.
00:26:46How about a more time?
00:26:47Paul?
00:26:48How about it?
00:26:49Don't worry about your fans.
00:26:50We like the tail off duty from now on.
00:26:52Thank you, Paul.
00:26:53Thank you very much.
00:27:06We'll see something.
00:27:09Gail, it's beautiful.
00:27:12Really?
00:27:14Yes.
00:27:14Do you believe that I did it all myself?
00:27:24Of course.
00:27:24Who else?
00:27:30Tell me that it wasn't a mistake.
00:27:37That you would have been proud of our son.
00:27:41I would have been very proud.
00:27:44I think I've fallen in love all over again.
00:27:56I'm glad to take you.
00:27:58How long will it take to evaluate the mission date?
00:28:01Well, I would say a very long time.
00:28:05Remember that in addition to Bryce's work on the surface,
00:28:08I had some very sophisticated environmental gear
00:28:10aboard the command module.
00:28:11From that data alone,
00:28:13we have the capability of synthesizing
00:28:15the Martian atmosphere right here
00:28:16in our own laboratory.
00:28:17Question?
00:28:18Yes, yes.
00:28:19I have a question for Colonel Randolph.
00:28:23Bryce.
00:28:29Tom Everett?
00:28:30Yes, sir.
00:28:33It was nice to see you again.
00:28:34Colonel, you are the first genuine American hero
00:28:39in a decade.
00:28:40I wonder if you're enjoying the role.
00:28:46I...
00:28:47No, sir.
00:28:49I feel I've done nothing to earn all this praise.
00:28:52Other men, perhaps, not me.
00:28:54Uh, I think Bryce is being overly modest, Tom,
00:28:57and I'd hate for this meeting to pass so lightly
00:28:59over his achievement.
00:29:01When Bryce Randolph stepped out of his lander,
00:29:03knowing there were some risks,
00:29:05he performed, in my estimation,
00:29:06a supreme act of heroism.
00:29:08And that act must not be diminished
00:29:10by understandable modesty.
00:29:12You've shrunk, you know that?
00:29:35My hand used to just be lost in yours,
00:29:37and now it's...
00:29:38now it's comfortable.
00:29:40You'd better get some rest.
00:29:42I watched you on TV.
00:29:43Don't you want my opinion?
00:29:45I was very nervous.
00:29:48That's what I liked.
00:29:50The human being,
00:29:51and he was just popping out all over.
00:29:54I bet you they offer you a series.
00:29:56Oh, they did.
00:29:58Yes, a situation comedy.
00:30:00What?
00:30:01Yes, it's all about an astronaut
00:30:02who takes his wife to Venus,
00:30:03and they live in a tree house.
00:30:05Yeah.
00:30:12Come here.
00:30:13What?
00:30:20What happened to you on Mars?
00:30:22Hmm?
00:30:24You really aren't the same.
00:30:25I traded personalities
00:30:29with a very friendly Martian.
00:30:33Hey, look.
00:30:34I really ought to get back to the base, huh?
00:30:36And what's wrong?
00:30:55Nothing.
00:30:56Nothing.
00:31:01Look, you will take your sleeping pills.
00:31:04Mm-hmm.
00:31:06I'll be home late.
00:31:08Okay?
00:31:12Good night.
00:31:12Good night.
00:31:14Good night.
00:31:15I'm calling another press conference tomorrow.
00:31:29This time it's your home.
00:31:30Try and undo some of the harm that you've done.
00:31:32Tom Everett, of all people.
00:31:34Your own personality's coming through.
00:31:36Can't you see that?
00:31:37We need the time, Eddie.
00:31:38The lab is on to something.
00:31:39Now I want you to try and pull yourself together.
00:31:41And get me out of Gail Randolph's life.
00:31:42Well, it's a little too late for that.
00:31:44How can we do that?
00:31:44I don't know.
00:31:45Phase me out now if you have to.
00:31:46But don't make me lie to her anymore.
00:31:48I just can't do it, Kurt.
00:31:49I don't understand.
00:31:51You've done wonders for her.
00:31:52What's the problem?
00:31:54I care about her.
00:31:54That's the problem.
00:31:56And look, what we're doing now is wrong.
00:31:58It'll only make it worse for her when she finds out.
00:32:00Now, I can't hurt her like that.
00:32:01Don't you understand?
00:32:03Please, Kurt.
00:32:05Phase me out now before she knows.
00:32:08Well, try to hang on just a little longer, huh?
00:32:10And we'll see what we can do.
00:32:13Okay.
00:32:14Carl?
00:32:26Carl?
00:32:27Hello?
00:32:27Hello?
00:32:34Bryce?
00:32:34Is that you?
00:32:35I want to talk.
00:32:56All right.
00:32:58After you left, I tried to sleep.
00:33:09But my mind wouldn't let me.
00:33:11I kept remembering every minute since you came back.
00:33:19Every detail.
00:33:20And the pieces kept going together.
00:33:26And now I'm frightened.
00:33:28Gail, please.
00:33:29No!
00:33:30I can't get it out of my mind now, so you must tell me the truth.
00:33:39Whatever it is, you must tell me.
00:33:41You promised me that.
00:33:42Yes.
00:33:44What is frightening me is the possibility that you aren't really Bryce Randolph.
00:33:55I can't get it out of my mind now.
00:33:57I can't get it out of my mind now.
00:33:57I can't get it out of my mind.
00:33:58I can't get it out of my mind.
00:33:58You are right.
00:33:59You are right.
00:33:59Is it true?
00:34:06Are you my husband?
00:34:08Bryce is dead, Gale.
00:34:35He died on Mars.
00:34:38Get out of here.
00:34:46Please.
00:34:49Let me explain.
00:34:50Get out of here!
00:34:51Get out!
00:34:54Get out!
00:34:54Get out of here! Get up! Get up! Get up!
00:35:24Hello, ER1. This is Bryce Randolph. If you're listening to this, it's because we're in trouble.
00:35:37I know you're very much in the dark right now, but I hope you decide to help us.
00:35:41I've prepared a full course of training for you if your answer is yes. I hope it is.
00:35:46And that someday I can shake your hand and say thank you for all of us for keeping our dream alive.
00:35:54Now you want me to help? Yes.
00:36:04Does Bryce make a tape for me? Dear Gail, in case I die on Mars, they will send you a Xerox company.
00:36:17Not me. No. No. No one gave me a choice. It isn't a matter of choice. We're committed now. All of us.
00:36:27Well, I'm not. Not after what's been done here. You let me believe that everything was going to be all right.
00:36:37That Bryce loved me and my baby. And I found myself feeling about him as if...
00:36:47Oh. I just feel so ashamed.
00:36:51I didn't know how to tell you at first, Gail. I wouldn't ask you to go on now, but the work isn't finished.
00:36:57There is involved here a whole plan. I don't care about the work. I don't care about Mars or the plan.
00:37:06I am not going to let you use me anymore, Kurt. I am not going to lie for you.
00:37:11Then what will you do? Tell the whole world?
00:37:19You afraid of the truth?
00:37:21I am. Now.
00:37:24Will it destroy you, Kurt?
00:37:27Yes. And the program.
00:37:31And more important, the memory of a very brave man.
00:37:38I want you to leave now.
00:37:51Before you come to any decision, I'd like you to see a tape we have of the way Bryce died.
00:37:58It might help to convince you that you're not the only person who suffered.
00:38:04And I hate you for that.
00:38:14Sure?
00:38:15No, and we have a security problem. You better put some more men on.
00:38:18I already have. What about the press conference?
00:38:20If we cancel, it'll only make things look worse.
00:38:22Let's see how she is tomorrow.
00:38:23All right.
00:38:26Kurt?
00:38:29What about me?
00:38:30Eddie, under the circumstances, I think it's a bad time for Bryce Randolph to move out of his home.
00:38:34And I suggest you don't try it.
00:38:35You've done enough damage for one night.
00:38:48Why are you still in this house?
00:39:09We're both under guard here, don't you know that?
00:39:12Nobody's guarding me.
00:39:15I can go anywhere.
00:39:17Tell anyone what I know.
00:39:19I can tear up your big master plan.
00:39:24I wonder if they'd let you.
00:39:25Oh, my God.
00:39:43You really are committed, you people, aren't you?
00:39:47Fanatic, plastic people.
00:39:51You can lie and change your shapes, your faces.
00:39:58What's your name, plastic person?
00:40:01Eddie Reese.
00:40:03And what are you, an actor?
00:40:06I was a pilot once.
00:40:08What right have you got to call yourself Bryce Randolph and to come into this house?
00:40:13I have no right.
00:40:14Oh, well, then they must have paid you a lot of money, right?
00:40:16To make you change yourself?
00:40:17No.
00:40:18No? Then why?
00:40:20I just didn't care much for me the way I was.
00:40:22And how do you care for yourself now?
00:40:24Now I'm something walking around in your nightmare, but it's my nightmare, too.
00:40:29Please, Gail, please try to understand.
00:40:32Stop looking at me with his face!
00:40:33Look at you, you even walk like him!
00:40:41You're a machine!
00:40:43A mechanical man!
00:40:45Tell me, what do they do?
00:40:47Do they, do they wind you up in the morning or, or do they, they program you with tape?
00:40:52Hmm?
00:40:54No, tape, tape, that's it.
00:40:56All the intimate details.
00:40:58Did Bryce tell you about me?
00:41:00Hmm?
00:41:01About what to expect?
00:41:03Did, did he, did he wind you up and send you to me?
00:41:06Did he tell you about the lies that would make me happy and, and how to make me smile and, and laugh and how to make me love you?
00:41:13The noises
00:41:25Theigns
00:41:30he
00:41:33the
00:41:35Will you come in here?
00:41:50Will you please come in here?
00:41:56When does it end, the master plan?
00:42:00When they get the money they need from Congress.
00:42:02When they find out what happened to Bryce.
00:42:06What killed him.
00:42:09When that happens they phase me out.
00:42:12They stage a boating accident.
00:42:15Bryce Randolph's body is never found.
00:42:18And they send me somewhere with a new face.
00:42:27You said you were a pilot.
00:42:30Yes.
00:42:31Why'd you give it up?
00:42:35I, uh, I resigned.
00:42:37Why?
00:42:40I killed three people.
00:42:46How?
00:42:48Got a cockpit fire over Houston.
00:42:50I, uh, ejected...
00:42:52A plane hit a house in the suburbs.
00:42:55Is that a reason to give up your face?
00:43:04And your life?
00:43:05No.
00:43:08There were other reasons.
00:43:09It's just that nothing really mattered anymore.
00:43:14And lying to me, did that matter?
00:43:15Yes.
00:43:19Very much.
00:43:32Those things you said about my baby, about wanting it.
00:43:36Why did you say those things?
00:43:43Because I knew you wanted to hear them.
00:43:48I was briefed.
00:43:49I'm sorry, I thought you were sleeping.
00:44:18Why didn't you lie to me last night?
00:44:25What?
00:44:25When I asked you if you were my husband, why didn't you lie?
00:44:32It would have been easy.
00:44:34I couldn't.
00:44:35I knew you wouldn't believe me.
00:44:37No, I suppose not.
00:44:47You're really not like him at all.
00:44:49He must have been badly briefed.
00:44:52You played him much too tender, too loving.
00:44:57Bryce wasn't like that.
00:44:58I think he was.
00:45:04On a tape once, he talked about you.
00:45:06I think he loved you very much.
00:45:12He just didn't know how to show it.
00:45:18Thank you for telling me that.
00:45:25There's a news conference here today.
00:45:27What will you do?
00:45:36I don't know.
00:45:37I don't know.
00:45:53Good night.
00:45:53Carl.
00:46:15Yeah?
00:46:15Give me a hand.
00:46:16I don't know.
00:46:46Well, you are a little early, Tom.
00:46:48How'd you get past the guards?
00:46:50Oh, just a reporter's trick.
00:46:51Before they throw me out, can I talk to you?
00:46:55Well, if you keep it brief.
00:46:58Hey, I'm sorry about ignoring you the other day.
00:46:59I was in a fog.
00:47:01Perfectly understandable.
00:47:03What's the matter with your hand?
00:47:06A little minor surgery.
00:47:08They've been treating me for a bone infection.
00:47:09It's nothing serious, but it's been bothering me since Mars.
00:47:12I see.
00:47:13I see.
00:47:13What was it you wanted to talk to me about?
00:47:18Well, I guess it'll wait.
00:47:20It's just that certain changes in you have fascinated me, and I just wondered if...
00:47:24Oh, good morning, Gail.
00:47:26Nice to see you.
00:47:27Hello, Tom.
00:47:30Maybe you're the one I should ask, huh?
00:47:32Have you noticed any changes in Bryce since he got back from Mars?
00:47:36Yes, he's not the same man.
00:47:43Oh?
00:47:45How do you mean?
00:47:48He's, uh, more human than the Bryce I knew.
00:47:53More considerate, uh...
00:47:56Gentle.
00:47:57Gentle.
00:47:59Even...
00:47:59Even silly sometimes.
00:48:01Must have been the air on Mars.
00:48:05Well, anyway, it made him...
00:48:08Made him do strange things.
00:48:10He...
00:48:10He even carved my initials in a tree.
00:48:14What do you think of that?
00:48:15I think that's great.
00:48:19Mm-hmm.
00:48:20So do I.
00:48:24Well, excuse me.
00:48:38Hello.
00:48:39Hello.
00:48:39What are you doing up so late?
00:48:43Well, uh...
00:48:44They let me go shopping to the hairdresser.
00:48:47Me and Agent Wilson.
00:48:50And it felt so good to be dressed up, I thought I'd keep it on a while.
00:48:58How was your trip?
00:49:00Wonderful.
00:49:01Three closely guarded days in Washington.
00:49:04You'd think after a month of this nonsense, they'd stop treating us like security risks.
00:49:09Why are you staring?
00:49:15Don't you like it?
00:49:17No, it's lovely.
00:49:18I...
00:49:19I'm staring because...
00:49:21I'm glad to see you.
00:49:24Would you like a drink?
00:49:29You know, I...
00:49:30I thought about you a lot when you were gone.
00:49:34Scotch or vodka?
00:49:35Scotch.
00:49:37I think I sort of missed your company.
00:49:39I don't deserve that.
00:49:42Why?
00:49:44You're the only one I could talk to around here for a month.
00:49:47Got sort of lonely.
00:49:51Are you forgetting the bad scene the day I left?
00:49:54You talked about how glad you'd be when this was all over?
00:49:57No.
00:49:57I'm trying to apologize and tell you that I'm glad to see you, too.
00:50:05Tell me about your trip.
00:50:15Was it all that bad?
00:50:18No, not really.
00:50:19I...
00:50:19I made a lot of speeches and...
00:50:21I told some very funny stories.
00:50:23Did you?
00:50:24And I met a cosmonaut.
00:50:26Igor Mijekin.
00:50:27Very nice guy.
00:50:28He promised me a surprise present next week.
00:50:30It's incredible.
00:50:36I'm going to be talking like a normal husband coming home from a normal business trip.
00:50:40I think that's nice.
00:50:41You know, if I were a normal husband, and I came home and found you dressed up like this, you know what I'd do?
00:50:51Yes.
00:50:51I take you dancing.
00:50:58Where?
00:51:01A crazy old-fashioned place up the road where people still dance holding each other.
00:51:06Hmm.
00:51:09The security guard wouldn't let us go dancing.
00:51:13Besides, we have to watch Kurt on the 11 o'clock news.
00:51:17Why?
00:51:18His office called.
00:51:19It's an order.
00:51:21Ah.
00:51:21Well, I wish to ignore it.
00:51:25Hmm.
00:51:26I don't think they'll let us.
00:51:36Mr. Anderson's on TV now, Colonel.
00:51:39I don't hear the setup.
00:51:40Beyond its current problems, to an area of long-range benefits for all of man.
00:51:46Ten years from now, when Mars has been mapped in Charton,
00:51:49when it has been colonized by scientists,
00:51:51engineers and engineers from Earth,
00:51:53one man will deserve the nation's deepest gratitude.
00:51:57That man is Bryce Randolph, the pioneer who led the way.
00:52:00On behalf of Bryce and all of us in the space program,
00:52:04we thank the Congress and the President for the funds granted today.
00:52:10Funds for our 10-year program of exploration on Mars.
00:52:14Well, we are victorious.
00:52:18ER won as a smash hit.
00:52:23Then you'll be leaving soon.
00:52:24Yes.
00:52:26It's what we both want, isn't it?
00:52:30Tell you what I want.
00:52:33I want you to take me dancing.
00:52:35Fine.
00:52:36We'll just clear it with Mr. Phillips, and then we'll go.
00:52:39Look, just this once.
00:52:41A few hours, huh?
00:52:42It has to be cleared.
00:52:43Well, we can't blame Wilson.
00:52:46He's, uh, just doing his job.
00:52:49What is your first name, Wilson?
00:52:50My first name, Wyattson.
00:52:56You, uh, you did want to go dancing.
00:52:58You, uh, you did want to go.
00:53:12You, uh, you did want to go down.
00:53:24This is wonderful.
00:53:31Thank you very much for bringing me.
00:53:54Thank you very much.
00:54:24Thank you very much.
00:54:54Thank you very much.
00:55:03I'm sorry.
00:55:05I'm sorry they had to spoil it.
00:55:09No, nothing is spoiled.
00:55:11Look at Bryce Randolph kissing his wife.
00:55:14It made me feel so ashamed.
00:55:17No, no, Eddie, you mustn't.
00:55:19I don't.
00:55:24I don't feel ashamed anymore.
00:55:26Please don't let them spoil it.
00:55:34Please don't let them spoil it.
00:55:35Come home with me.
00:55:51Well, I'm glad you're back.
00:56:02You two had us worried.
00:56:03Well, that's good for you once in a while.
00:56:05Are you here to scold us or what?
00:56:07No, I'm here with good news for both of you.
00:56:09And congratulations.
00:56:10We know.
00:56:11We watched you on TV.
00:56:12Oh, there's more to it than that, Eddie.
00:56:13Much more.
00:56:14What?
00:56:15We discovered what killed Bryce.
00:56:17We were able to reproduce it in the lab.
00:56:23What was it?
00:56:25A substance in the Martian atmosphere composed of two elements entirely new to us.
00:56:30So the bright island in the sky is a death trap?
00:56:32For now.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:33But in six months, we'll develop materials that'll protect our people up there.
00:56:36And now we've got the funds to do it, thanks to you.
00:56:40That means you're through with him?
00:56:42Well, it means he's done his job, yes.
00:56:45The longer we keep him around, the greater the risk, like tonight.
00:56:48So we've decided to phase out ER-1.
00:56:50The boating accident?
00:56:52Yes.
00:56:53You erase him, like tape.
00:56:55Well, it's all right, Gale.
00:57:00When do you plan to do it?
00:57:03Well, as a matter of fact, we thought tomorrow.
00:57:07Tomorrow.
00:57:09Sunday.
00:57:13I was born on a Sunday.
00:57:21When will they be here?
00:57:23In about an hour.
00:57:28You could take me with you.
00:57:29How about some more coffee?
00:57:37Listen.
00:57:59Why won't you take me with you?
00:58:00Gale, it just won't work.
00:58:02But why?
00:58:02Because you'd be giving up your life for me.
00:58:04I'm not even real.
00:58:05Don't you see?
00:58:06I don't even exist.
00:58:08Eddie disappeared months ago.
00:58:10Bryce died on Mars.
00:58:12And when they changed my face again, I'm nothing.
00:58:13I'm nobody.
00:58:14I won't belong anywhere.
00:58:15That's not true.
00:58:16You belong to me.
00:58:17You're real.
00:58:21You're Eddie Rees.
00:58:24If you're not real, then who gave me back myself?
00:58:27Hmm?
00:58:29Who showed me that I could be loved?
00:58:35Am I loved?
00:58:38Very much.
00:58:39Oh, don't let them erase that.
00:58:50It's out of the question.
00:58:52It's absolutely out of the question.
00:58:53No, there is no question.
00:58:55And nobody asked you a question, Jack.
00:58:56We just announced we're going together.
00:58:58You can't tamper with a plan now.
00:58:59I'm tired of your plans.
00:59:00What about people?
00:59:01You're tampering with people.
00:59:02Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
00:59:03Just say what it is you want us to do.
00:59:05It's very simple.
00:59:06You announce two deaths.
00:59:08You create two new identities.
00:59:10Just like that.
00:59:11You think that's simple.
00:59:12It's more simple than ER1, Jack.
00:59:14A man of your talent, it shouldn't take more than a couple of phone calls.
00:59:17Eddie, I can't.
00:59:18Jack, Jack, it is that simple.
00:59:22As long as you both know what you're doing.
00:59:25I'd like to hear that from you.
00:59:28I know what I'm doing.
00:59:29Gail, there's no turning back, you know.
00:59:30I mean, you'd leave everything behind you.
00:59:34I know.
00:59:34But that's what I want.
00:59:42All right, Jack, get on the phone.
00:59:44Kurt, where are you?
00:59:45Jack, get on the phone.
00:59:46You don't have much time.
00:59:55Thank you, Kurt.
00:59:58Thank you, Eddie.
00:59:58Thank you, Eddie.
00:59:58I haven't said it up till now, but I'm very grateful.
01:00:05To both of you.
01:00:06Hey, the astronaut, right?
01:00:30Right.
01:00:32Hey, hey, nice to see you.
01:00:35Nice to see you.
01:00:36Yeah, thanks.
01:00:37Hey, Fred.
01:00:41Hey, guess who I just said hello to in that car back there?
01:00:44Who?
01:00:45The astronaut from Mars.
01:00:47No kidding?
01:00:47I wonder how he feels about this news.
01:00:50What news?
01:00:50Russians are going to Mars, too.
01:00:52They blasted off this morning.
01:00:54No, sir.
01:00:55No, Mr. President.
01:00:57We're just as surprised as you are, sir.
01:01:00Yes, sir?
01:01:02Well, no more than you know, sir.
01:01:05They intend to land two men about a thousand miles from our landing site.
01:01:09Yes, sir.
01:01:11Yes, sir.
01:01:11It does make our achievement look good.
01:01:14Yes, sir.
01:01:15I'll call you back right after I talk with Moscow.
01:01:18Goodbye, Mr. President.
01:01:20They snowed me, Kurt.
01:01:22I talked about letting the cuff a week ago.
01:01:24I asked him point-
01:01:24All right, the point is, Jack, what do we do now?
01:01:26What have we been doing?
01:01:27We've still done for time.
01:01:28No, that's no good, Jack.
01:01:30We can't play games with the truth any longer.
01:01:32They're going to die up there just like Bryce died.
01:01:35Well, you can be sure of that, Kurt.
01:01:36Yes, you can be sure.
01:01:38Well, no, there are variables.
01:01:39I mean, maybe the environment's different where they're landing.
01:01:42Maybe those suits are different.
01:01:43Oh, come on, Jack.
01:01:43Maybe, maybe they abort to come back home.
01:01:45A thousand things could happen, right?
01:01:46Jack, they're going to die up there.
01:01:48I know it, and you know it.
01:01:48All right, so let them take their chances like we took out.
01:01:50No, it's not the same thing.
01:01:51We know if we don't stop them, it's murder.
01:01:58So what are you going to do, blow it off?
01:02:01I don't know.
01:02:05I don't know.
01:02:13I'm going down to the wire room and cable my congratulations to the Russians.
01:02:19You better get on the horn and get Eddie back here just as fast as you can.
01:02:23You're really going to blow the whistle on it, aren't you?
01:02:25I don't know.
01:02:26But if I do, I'll need Eddie, won't I?
01:02:28Jack, I have them in sight now.
01:02:39There are no circumstances there to change the plan.
01:02:41Understood?
01:02:42Roger, understood.
01:02:44Is something wrong?
01:02:45No, no.
01:02:45Nothing that can be handled from this end.
01:02:48You just move them out.
01:02:49Did they brief you on Gale?
01:02:56Yes, I've been briefed.
01:02:59You look grim, Carl.
01:03:00What, are you sad to see us go?
01:03:02You better hurry.
01:03:03You got over this chart?
01:03:04Ten times.
01:03:06This is where you anchor.
01:03:08The helicopter will pick you up at 11 o'clock.
01:03:10You pull the through-hole fittings and sink her.
01:03:12You better get started.
01:03:13You're behind schedule as it is.
01:03:14What's the rush, Carl?
01:03:15We only die once or twice.
01:03:19If you want to crank her up, I'll cast you off.
01:03:21Right.
01:03:31Colonel Randolph!
01:03:32Colonel, please!
01:03:34I'm so sorry, but my little boy wants your autograph
01:03:37and he was so afraid you'd get away.
01:03:42All right.
01:03:46What's your name, son?
01:03:48Freddy.
01:03:49Okay.
01:03:52You have a good life, Freddy.
01:03:53I'm glad you beat the Russians.
01:03:55What?
01:03:56They won't get there till next November.
01:03:59What's he talking about?
01:04:00Oh, something we heard on TV about the Russians going to Mars.
01:04:04Well, come along, Freddy, and thank you very much, Colonel.
01:04:06Come on, honey.
01:04:07Do you know about this?
01:04:11I...
01:04:11Return on the radio.
01:04:13Of course you knew.
01:04:14Of course you knew.
01:04:20You all knew.
01:04:23Eddie's not coming.
01:04:25What do you mean?
01:04:25Didn't you try to stop him?
01:04:26No, I didn't.
01:04:27You intentionally disregarded an order?
01:04:29Is that what you're telling me?
01:04:30That's right.
01:04:31By this time, Eddie should be several miles out to sea.
01:04:33All right.
01:04:34All right.
01:04:35We'll just get the chopper pilot on the horn.
01:04:36It would be your honor if I were you, Kurt.
01:04:38He's very loyal to me.
01:04:38His instructions are to take Eddie to a safe place.
01:04:43Based on the success of the American mission led by Colonel Bryce Randolph,
01:04:47two of Randolph's brothers in space,
01:04:49cosmonauts Rosef and Mietke,
01:04:51will land on the Martian surface.
01:04:53Touchdown is estimated within three months.
01:04:56They're going to let them die.
01:04:59Kurt, Jack,
01:05:00they're going to let them die up there.
01:05:03Come on.
01:05:11Eddie!
01:05:12Get out of my way.
01:05:12Eddie, it doesn't concern you.
01:05:14It concerns me.
01:05:15People dying concerns me.
01:05:19Come on.
01:05:24Without Eddie, you can't blow the whistle.
01:05:26That's the way I intend to keep it
01:05:27until you get back on this team, Kurt.
01:05:31Hold all the calls.
01:05:33This is what it's come to, huh?
01:05:39That now you and I have to cheat and blackmail each other.
01:05:43I said to hold the calls.
01:05:45I'm sorry, sir, but it's Eddie Reese.
01:05:47He says it's urgent.
01:05:51Eddie, where are you?
01:05:53All right, all right.
01:05:53Calm down.
01:05:55Eddie, please listen to me.
01:05:57We're not going to let them die.
01:05:59Please, Eddie.
01:06:01Eddie, come in and we'll decide what to do.
01:06:04No.
01:06:05No, we're not coming in.
01:06:06We can't trust you anymore.
01:06:07You understand?
01:06:09You're a good man, Kurt,
01:06:10but you're no longer capable of telling the truth.
01:06:12Eddie, I don't blame you for feeling that way,
01:06:14but what can I do to prove you're wrong?
01:06:16That's easy.
01:06:18You tell the man, Kurt.
01:06:19You tell him now or you'll put it off forever.
01:06:22Eddie, do you know what that would mean to all of us?
01:06:25What it would put us through?
01:06:27Yes, we know.
01:06:29And we'll stand with you, Kurt, if you speak up now.
01:06:34Eddie.
01:06:35Eddie, I wonder if I have that kind of courage left.
01:06:39I hope you do.
01:06:42I'll be out here, Kurt, waiting to hear.
01:06:45Waiting to tell them if you don't.
01:06:48Okay, Eddie.
01:06:50I'll try not to disappoint you.
01:07:03Yeah?
01:07:03Get me the president, please.

01:08:01Yes.
01:08:01Of what?
