00:57So, let's go.
01:20Bullshit.
01:21It is this freaking wide.
01:23And it's periodic.
01:26Bullshit.
01:27Show me.
01:35Something terrestrial.
01:36Gotta be.
01:37Bouncing off the moon.
01:39Gee.
01:40Never thought to check that.
01:42Look at that slope, man.
01:44You could ski down that thing.
01:45It is drifting.
01:47Look here.
01:48Zoom in.
01:49Zoom in.
01:50See that variation?
01:51And look.
01:52This gap here.
01:53This is where it stops.
01:54Then starts over.
01:55It repeats every 78 seconds.
01:58The whole entire thing.
02:00Three hours straight and no end in sight.
02:06It can't be.
02:20It's got to be something bouncing off the...
02:22Off the...
02:22It's not bouncing off the moon, Dave.
02:25Well, maybe it's those chatty Cathy's at the forest service.
02:28I hate those guys.
02:29Always on their radios talking about trees.
02:31Dave, it's not Smokey Bear we're picking up.
02:33Look at that signal.
02:35It's drifting.
02:37What is it, Dave?
02:44Looks like simple pulse width modulation.
02:46Old school, like Morse code.
02:49Maybe somehow it's the time signal out of Fort Collins.
02:53They use pulse width modulation.
02:54It's not the atomic clock.
02:56The atomic clock changes every minute because it's a clock.
02:58This is the same exact data repeated every 78 seconds.
03:01Plus, this is coming from 600 light years away.
03:08This Morse code of yours seems to be split four ways.
03:14The pulses are of equal duration, but they're positioned across four different frequencies.
03:20Looks like a player piano.
03:21So not binary, but bass four.
03:24Quaternary.
03:25Oh.
03:26This won't be easy to crack.
03:40What do you think it says?
03:41Maybe just, hello?
03:43Hey, we're out here.
03:45What'd we put on Voyagers 1 and 2?
03:47Chuck Berry?
03:49Maybe this is just their version of Johnny B. Goode.
03:53Imagine the power it took to send it.
03:57Megawatts?
03:59Gigawatts?
04:00And that's if it's pointed only at us.
04:03Antenna the size of Africa.
04:04Bigger.
04:07You go to all that trouble to send a message.
04:10It's got to be more than just hello.
04:14And why make it hard to understand?
04:17Quaternary?
04:18It's like encryption.
04:19Why would you bother to...
04:30It's not quaternary.
04:36I think I know what it is.
04:59It's not quaternary.
05:03It's as good as he gets.
05:06It works in that room.
05:10It's not quaternary.
05:10It's an infinite There.
05:11You go.
05:13It's not quaternary.
05:21The twin moons hung low and full, two wine-green eyes peering over the horizon as if to steal
05:27a glimpse into Acacia's soul. She paced the blood-soaked decks of the Mercator looking
05:32for something, anything, that might take her mind off Rabanne. Ascending the foc'sle, her
05:38gaze lingered over a bare-chested young sailor. On hands and knees, he scrubbed, his sinewy
05:44forearms stretched taut as he washed away all trace of the day's fight. With a languid
05:49nod, Lucasia bade him follow to her cabin. Little did this callow deckhand know that serving
05:57at his captain's pleasure might take on such sweet meaning. Or, regrettably, that it would
06:03last but a single night. Later, at four bells, Lucasia stood by the mizzenmast. Once again,
06:14she was alone. She pulled her topcoat tighter, fingering its coarse wool. As her thoughts
06:20flashed back to Rabanne, it had been he who first wrapped the coat around her, whispering
06:25in her ear, may this keep you warm in my absence, my shy. With that, Rabanne, proud, haughty
06:35rabanne, mounted the plank and leaped from sight. The amaranth and slipsand closed over him, leaving
06:44Mary a whipple.
06:57Attention! Lovers of speculative historical romance literature, best-selling author Carol Sturka,
07:04will now sign her new novel, Bloodsong of Wiccaro, the fourth book in her Wins of Wiccaro trilogy.
07:10Wiccaro! Please, the twins of Wiccaro! And Bloodsong is the best yet. God, are you in for a treat.
07:19Let's go sign books! Rabanne is alive, right?
07:26Maureen.
07:27You can read it!
07:28Well, I will. Tonight, I've already unplugged the phone. Just, no. Rabanne's not on the cover.
07:34No, he's not.
07:35Yeah, he's never not been on the cover, Carol. If Rabanne doesn't come back, I'm done.
07:46Page 218.
07:50Okay.
07:51Okay.
07:52Hi.
07:53Thanks, Maureen.
07:55Hi.
07:56Hi.
07:56Hi, Oban.
07:57Lately, I can't take your idea.
08:01Hi, Ben.
08:05Love it.
08:07Happy reading.
08:09This is Nikki with a pillow.
08:11Nikki with a...
08:11Oh, my gosh.
08:12Look at myself.
08:13You made this?
08:14Yes.
08:15This is Christine.
08:16This is Paulina and support person.
08:18This is Carlotta.
08:19Say Rabanne.
08:21Rabanne.
08:22When Rabanne and Ergamel fell in the cargo hold, do you remember what it was loaded with?
08:27Adobe and Spicefruit.
08:28Which Lucasia is...
08:32Deathly allergic to.
08:34Oh, you guys want a picture too?
08:39Thank you so much.
08:40Hi, Tonya.
08:41Are you excited?
08:43Hi, Eva.
08:44I got two books.
08:45One for the tub.
08:46This is an authentic petless, just like Le Bon's.
08:49Okay.
08:49Careful, it's really sharp.
08:51Okay, so three things.
08:52A, when finally are they gonna make a Waikaro movie.
08:55And please tell me it'll be in actual theaters and not on the Lifetime Network.
08:58B, you gotta get ILM to do the slip stand.
09:01Otherwise, it's just gonna look like mailed.
09:03Pardon my French.
09:03And C, small but very crucial point.
09:07As a two-masted scooter, the Mercator would not possess a mizzenmast.
09:11So...
09:12Craig, I'm gonna need you to put this back in the bag before the store manager sees it.
09:16Oh.
09:17Right?
09:18Your humble servant.
09:21Oh, that's the one.
09:23Oh, I love you.
09:23Thank you so much.
09:25Thank you so much.
09:25See you at the next one.
09:27All right.
09:28All right.
09:33Hi, ladies.
09:34I have us going to the Hyatt Regency Dallas.
09:37Yeah.
09:38Thanks.
09:38Perfect.
09:40That was quite a send-off.
09:41I'm sorry, should I know who you are?
09:44Uh, depends.
09:45You a big fan of mindless crap?
10:13Hey.
10:19Hey.
10:20Hey.
10:21Morning, Doc.
10:22Oh, it certainly is.
10:25Hey, Mel.
10:26Hey.
10:27Ooh, where'd those come from?
10:29Yours truly.
10:31Help yourself.
10:32I think they're mostly glazed, but one box ought to be sprinkled, powdered, and all that.
10:36What did we do to deserve this?
10:38Ah, my 14-year-old son from Arch and Van.
10:43Wow.
10:43Aren't you a good dad?
10:44What does she play?
10:46Trombone.
10:47Dr. D.
10:49Good evening, morning, whatever.
10:52Look what Mel brought.
10:53Ooh, for us?
10:54Yeah, please.
10:56They got you two working late.
10:57Yeah, I gotta guess a bunch of rats.
11:01So how goes the big project?
11:03What have you heard?
11:05I don't know.
11:06Things?
11:08Well...
11:09Our team's fairly certain we've got a sequence that encodes for a lysogenic virus,
11:13but after eight whole months of animal testing...
11:15Macaques, rabbits, mice...
11:16Guinea pigs.
11:17Guinea pigs.
11:18Now rats.
11:19No clinical signs whatsoever.
11:24Put another way?
11:25We got bupkis.
11:27We got bupkis.
11:30We got bupkis.
11:45Okay, how do you want to do this?
11:47Uh, I can put him to sleep if you want to do the cardiac sticks.
11:51I hate the cardiac sticks.
11:53You're more than welcome to gas him.
11:56I hate gassing him.
11:58Might be in the wrong career.
12:00All right.
12:00Cardiac sticks it is.
12:03Let's get it over with.
12:06Uh-oh.
12:09Check it out.
12:11Oh, damn.
12:13What do you figure happened there?
12:20I don't know.
12:44He's looking pretty dead to me.
12:48You got a heartbeat?
12:50Can't feel jack shit in these gloves.
13:00Huh.
13:01Huh.
13:02What?
13:04He's absolutely got a heartbeat.
13:06Strong one.
13:06Just bam, bam, bam.
13:07It's weird.
13:08If I didn't know any better, I...
13:09Oh, God.
13:10Oh, shit.
13:11Oh, no.
13:12You've got to be kidding me.
13:15Did he break the skin?
13:17Um, yeah, I don't...
13:18Yeah, it's through the glove.
13:19Shit.
13:20Uh, soak it quick.
13:22If it's a merge.
13:23If it's bleeding, make sure to squeeze it out good.
13:26I'm going to call this in as soon as I catch him, okay?
13:29Okay.
