00:00:19I am so glad we took this trip.
00:00:22The North Sea is absolutely gorgeous this time of year.
00:00:26It's so clear. I can see for miles.
00:00:29That's great. Listen, Mom, it's really busy here, so I'm going to need...
00:00:33That's your problem. You're always working.
00:00:36Not always. Besides, NASA is vital in protecting everyone's future.
00:00:41It takes a lot of sacrifice. This job is really important.
00:00:44And so is your family.
00:00:47You should all take a trip. Relax a bit.
00:00:49We could all take one together.
00:00:51Mom, we already talked about this. I've worked. Tina has school.
00:00:55It's always going to be something, Talia.
00:00:58That daughter of yours is going to grow up, and you will have missed her whole childhood.
00:01:03I see her plenty, and Tina is excelling in her classes.
00:01:06It's getting chilly.
00:01:08You would think that climate change meant things would get warmer.
00:01:12That's not how it works, Mom.
00:01:15Listen, just stay inside, and you'll be good.
00:01:20Talia?
00:01:21My God.
00:01:22Mom?
00:01:27Mom?
00:01:43Bennett here.
00:01:44Are you seeing this?
00:01:45Yes, General. I'm looking at it right now.
00:01:47We'll need you at the Pentagon ASAP.
00:01:48I'm heading over to you the second we end this call.
00:01:50What's causing this, Dr. Bennett?
00:01:52It's a near-Earth object, and it's already injecting itself into the Earth-Moon system.
00:01:58It's interfering with the Earth's axial tilt.
00:02:01It can mean a drop in global temperature.
00:02:04The beginning of a worldwide ice age.
00:02:26Oh, yeah, she's right here.
00:02:28Just like you, always trying to figure out the next line of code.
00:02:32Did you guys speak to my mom today?
00:02:33Hmm.
00:02:34Oh, she tried earlier.
00:02:35Yeah, wishing granddad pop up a happy anniversary, but she couldn't get through.
00:02:39Joe.
00:02:40Does it have anything to do with the news?
00:02:41Joe!
00:02:42There is extremely cold, unpredictable weather headed your way.
00:02:45I need you and Tina to get to safety now.
00:02:48Wait, what?
00:02:49Joe.
00:02:50There is no time.
00:02:51I need you to go to the office.
00:02:53In my top right-hand drawer, there is...
00:02:57There is a silver thumb drive labeled Arc Models Live.
00:03:02I need you to take that, get the go bags, and head to NASA's bunker in Mount Weather.
00:03:09Okay.
00:03:16Anything else?
00:03:18Also, I need you to grab the pelican gates from the garage.
00:03:21It has all the cold-weather gear that you need.
00:03:23What about you?
00:03:25I need to stay and see if I can solve this.
00:03:28So you're not me, Astia.
00:03:29No, I can't.
00:03:30You and Tina need to get to the bunker.
00:03:32Did you just walk from the bunker?
00:03:34I need to be here, Joe.
00:03:40Okay.
00:03:41I love you.
00:03:51Make sure you go grab your go bags in the closet.
00:03:54Shoes, coat, laptop.
00:03:55We're out the door in two minutes.
00:03:56All right?
00:03:57No questions.
00:03:59No questions.
00:04:05Dr. Bennett.
00:04:08Nice to finally meet you in person.
00:04:10I'm General David Green.
00:04:11I'm the commander of this unified joint strike force.
00:04:14I'll be working with the joint chiefs.
00:04:15Right this way.
00:04:18Looks like only hardened electrical sources are going to be reliable due to the electromagnetic
00:04:23field caused by Nemesis.
00:04:25Nemesis.
00:04:26Nemesis.
00:04:27That's the designation for this NEO?
00:04:29Yes.
00:04:30Follow me.
00:04:37Did mom say that she would meet us there?
00:04:41Your mom wants us safe.
00:04:49The suit's really uncomfortable, dad.
00:04:52I know.
00:04:53It's because it's a special prototype with the ectothermary regulation system.
00:04:57Your mom brought her back home from her trip to Antarctica.
00:05:00But most important, they keep us warm and protect us.
00:05:06And why do I still feel cold?
00:05:08Well, because part of the system of the suits that we're wearing is recapturing the heat
00:05:13of your body to then reuse it when your organs...
00:05:16Basically, it's made for survival.
00:05:18It's not comfortable.
00:05:20So we can make it to the bunker.
00:05:33Can I have your attention, please?
00:05:35This is Dr. Talia Bennett.
00:05:37She's from NASA.
00:05:38Now, with the defunding of NOAA, NASA's going to be taking the lead on this task force.
00:05:43This is Administrator Alan from FEMA and Captain Andrew Howes from the United States Space Force.
00:05:50All right, doctor.
00:05:51Get us up to speed.
00:05:53All right.
00:05:53Approximately an hour ago, a previously untracked NEO, Nemesis, about the size of Mount Everest,
00:05:59entered the Earth-Moon system.
00:06:01Wouldn't we track those objects?
00:06:02Yes, but its approach was hidden by the sun's glare.
00:06:05So how long till impact?
00:06:07There won't be an impact.
00:06:08The gravity well in the Earth-Moon system has trapped Nemesis in between them, causing an
00:06:13increase in Earth's axial tilt.
00:06:22Okay.
00:06:23Earth sits at 23 and a half degrees off-center.
00:06:27That angle is everything.
00:06:29When the North Pole points towards the sun, it's summer.
00:06:33When it points away, winter.
00:06:36It's not how close the sun is, it's the angle.
00:06:39And Nemesis just changed that by two to three degrees, causing havoc on worldwide weather systems.
00:06:46So what's the worst-case scenario?
00:06:48The Earth will cool down half a degree to a degree every day.
00:06:52With that will come Arctic blasts that are unpredictable, random.
00:06:56And finally, this will create a worldwide ice age, freezing everything to negative 50 below.
00:07:08Tell us more about an Arctic blast.
00:07:11It's a sudden freeze front that could plunge temperatures down to negative 400 degrees in an instant, then back.
00:07:19Well, how long until we lock into this permanent ice age?
00:07:23At current rates, two years.
00:07:28Okay, um, well, need to prep the president, but I want to give him options.
00:07:35What about we send a Sentinel ICBM and blow the thing out of the sky?
00:07:40That'll buy us time.
00:07:41Sir, high-yield options in orbit invite debris and fallout.
00:07:46We're trading blizzards for a nuclear winner.
00:07:49Plus, we'd kill hundreds of millions as well.
00:07:52If we can't destroy it, then give me some viable options.
00:07:56We move it.
00:07:58I said viable, Doctor.
00:08:00No, this is a viable option.
00:08:02We have a constellation of communication satellites in low-Earth orbit that we can repurpose.
00:08:08You want to crash a thousand satellites into Nemesis?
00:08:11That's as bad as blowing it up.
00:08:13No, think about it like this.
00:08:14They're like mini tugboats initiating microburns that push Nemesis out of orbit.
00:08:20You're gonna like it.
00:08:21Distributed risk, no single point of failure.
00:08:24If you can do it, can you do it?
00:08:29Yes.
00:08:30I can write a code that will orchestrate the burn.
00:08:32But I will need some models that will predict Nemesis' response in near to real time.
00:08:38I can get those from the Tulick field station.
00:08:40How long?
00:08:42Initial contact, a few days.
00:08:44Once we reach maximum delta V, a few weeks, five at most.
00:08:48Okay.
00:08:49Captain, a really lengthy network so that she can get a hardened line to the Tulick field station down at
00:08:54Sub-Level X.
00:08:55That's our area where it's a hardened facility for extreme situations like this.
00:09:00Copy, sir.
00:09:01Now, I know that your husband has a recon marine, but I'd like you to coordinate with Administrator Allen here
00:09:07to get your family squared away.
00:09:09But, Doctor, you own the code.
00:09:12Give me results.
00:09:13This is gonna be one hell of a phone call.
00:09:16Yes, sir.
00:09:24Yeah, it's gonna take forever.
00:09:27Dad, I'm really cold.
00:09:29I know, honey.
00:09:30Yeah, I got Tahiti going full blast.
00:09:38I don't know if it's a good idea to be on social media right now.
00:09:40We should save our batteries.
00:09:44Seriously, Dad?
00:09:46I packed into the Virginia DOT traffic servers.
00:09:49I'm trying to find this a faster way to Mount Weather that's away from all of this.
00:09:53All right, okay.
00:09:55I should have known.
00:09:58I should have known.
00:10:00Uh, turn right up here.
00:10:02Yeah.
00:10:03Uh, there's a service road that the state troopers technically haven't opened up officially yet, but I figured that it
00:10:09would save us some extra time.
00:10:11Nice job.
00:10:14It's still cold, Dad.
00:10:29Doctor, this is our backup server room.
00:10:31We need to make sure all of this is online and ready.
00:10:33We have two years as per your calculations, and this is part of our fallback plan.
00:10:37There are a lot of people depending on us.
00:10:40This room is already a hardened facility.
00:10:43If the Pentagon goes dark, these fuel cells will give us a double redundancy.
00:10:48Make sure you stay up and ready.
00:10:50And warm.
00:10:52We'll do all we can to mitigate injury or worse.
00:11:00Cheyenne Mountain is standing by to link you with Tulick Field Station's weather models directly.
00:11:05All right, to get DART up and running, we need as continuous a data connection as possible.
00:11:10That might mean analog backup.
00:11:13Well, you'll get redundancy if you use the old Cold War network.
00:11:19If the modern network fails or collapses, you're still up and running.
00:11:23How old are we talking?
00:11:26Analog.
00:11:27Copper, twisted pairs.
00:11:29Old.
00:11:30Good old stuff.
00:11:31Genuine.
00:11:32Reliable.
00:11:33Well, let's get started, then.
00:11:35Mm-hmm.
00:11:40See if you can get Mom on the phone.
00:11:43By now, I should know what this is all about.
00:11:50Nothing.
00:11:52Just connects every time to try.
00:11:55Okay.
00:11:56We saved the battery.
00:11:59That work's probably overloaded.
00:12:02I hope Mom needs to stay here.
00:12:07She won't.
00:12:08Yes.
00:12:12Okay, team.
00:12:14On the staging floor, the zones are color-coded.
00:12:16Write this down.
00:12:18Green is go.
00:12:20Amber is pack.
00:12:21Red is shelter.
00:12:23Bus fleece to hospitals first.
00:12:26National Guard to long-term care.
00:12:28School principals.
00:12:30Shelter-in-place protocols now.
00:12:31If you can walk, you can die.
00:12:36Any questions?
00:12:38Ma'am, requests for pet sheltering are flooding every line.
00:12:41We're completely at capacity.
00:12:42Let them take the pets.
00:12:43Why?
00:12:45Because it doesn't matter.
00:12:47Might as well not freeze alone.
00:12:52Let's get to work.
00:12:53Yes, sir, Mr. President.
00:12:55Administrator Allen's efforts are moving along quite nice and getting everybody to safety.
00:13:00Yes, sir, I know.
00:13:01I agree.
00:13:03Well, Captain Houts and Dr. Bennett are currently reprogramming the communications satellite constellations as we speak.
00:13:11Yes, sir.
00:13:12Understood.
00:13:15Captain Houts, I need an update.
00:13:16We're moving to the stack according to the swarm intelligence of the waypoint navigation system.
00:13:21Copy that.
00:13:22Triple the redundancy.
00:13:23We need this to work.
00:13:25Already on it, sir.
00:13:26This is not going to fail on my watch.
00:13:29If we anticipate the procession, we can pre-bias the burn vectors, give it a corridor to the wind.
00:13:37So that ensures us a better chance of success.
00:13:40Yeah, but it won't ever be 100%.
00:13:47My parents were on a holiday by the North Sea.
00:13:53I was talking to my mom this morning and we lost connection.
00:13:59We have to stop this.
00:14:02No one else should lose their family.
00:14:06We will.
00:14:08I'm sure they're fine.
00:14:15Let me know how I can help.
00:14:32This is strong.
00:14:42Label those bunkers by capacity.
00:14:44We want to fill the biggest ones first, not by numbers.
00:14:47Keep those families together.
00:14:53Hey.
00:14:54Hey, hold that pallet.
00:14:56I'm coming down.
00:14:59Distribution centers all across the country can follow orders, but this one downstairs is struggling.
00:15:04I'll be right back.
00:15:06No.
00:15:26We're just picking up as well.
00:15:29I can feel it in the steering wheel.
00:15:31We should move faster.
00:15:35Not a hammer.
00:15:37A thousand fingers.
00:15:40Blocking algorithms and formation controls are loaded and compiled.
00:15:45Good.
00:15:46I'll plug in that module and extend the code base.
00:15:49God, we're not even going to have time for a static analysis.
00:16:05All right.
00:16:07We could just go around, but this is the only way into the Blue Ridge Mountains and long weather.
00:16:11Dad, we can't just plow through a straight trooper.
00:16:15So I say go around.
00:16:23No.
00:16:34I'm freaking out.
00:16:38What was that?
00:16:42Keep your head down, all right?
00:16:48is the trooper okay
00:16:56what are we gonna do dad we get to the bunker as fast as we can all right
00:17:07the backs are flowing shelter's a 90-minute capacity city leadership wants a calm schedule
00:17:14okay you'll have it as soon as we harden the pentagon lines all right we've completed the
00:17:18initial build and should be ready to execute should well it goes without saying it's extremely
00:17:23complicated sir we'll address all problems to the best of our abilities it's a lot of code
00:17:28okay well fortune favors the bold i say we go now
00:17:36wait we just got back data from the vlbi set density profiles wrong
00:17:44the redshift is this high the current spin up spit it out doctor original calculations showed we had
00:17:53two years of cold weather and anomalous arctic winds before an irreversible ice age setting
00:17:58the new data just came in we don't have two years
00:18:03we have two months before the world is frozen
00:18:09lieutenant roberts collect everybody's phone no information leaves this room
00:18:13okay i need you to upload that code now and get those satellites over to nemesis asap
00:18:18sir it's been compiled but no bug checks dry runs sanity checks have even been completed
00:18:24how long would that take two to three days at least and even that's pushing it look moving now
00:18:30would be reckless sir we have no room for error here captain under these circumstances not moving
00:18:36now would be the reckless choice copy that right you alan you're with me yes sir you speak five
00:18:41languages right i need you on the phone with the u.n i have no idea if this is even
00:18:45gonna work
00:18:47it's gonna work you're a good coder it's gonna work it has to okay jack in here
00:18:55coordinate with ussf s and jack's open command get this thing moving along as quickly as possible
00:19:03x-ray charlie prep station fuel for incoming signal parameters along with a code packet for upload
00:19:18from brussels beijing and delhi i want simultaneous confirmation sir boarding with global ercs
00:19:27feeds populating on monitors copy satellite uplink relays locked paired ready for code transmission general i need your approval
00:19:39we have usa confirmation jaxa confirmation we are ready to go copy copy general initiating code upload
00:19:50okay clear channel clear channel commence uploading synchronous packets
00:19:57commencing upload upload starting okay albert is reporting guidance update pushed
00:20:06confirm bird vectors right vector set we're hands off after commit the control layer adapts mint pulse
00:20:15do it are you sure general
00:20:20do it dr bennett mark
00:20:26execute
00:20:40we have movement we have
00:20:44wait wait wait wait wait wait
00:20:48no the torque amplified and accelerated the procession
00:20:51shut them down put them down we can't it's autonomous smith cycle we're locked in
00:20:56how long is the burn 10 seconds
00:20:5910 seconds
00:21:07sit right
00:21:09nemesis trajectory adjustment fail
00:21:11actually we've just pushed it in we've increased the axial tilt
00:21:16we've made the magnetosphere twice as angry
00:21:30damn it
00:21:31damn it
00:21:31okay sir
00:21:31if we'd be no i need options not opinions we need to damp the spin fast we can't touch nemesis
00:21:40again not until we reduce the pressure differential this increased movement from nemesis will no
00:21:45doubt increased the acceleration of the axial tilt making it colder faster creating more arctic
00:21:51blasts we likely reduced our time down to a month we can inject some heat into the weather system to
00:22:01counteract the fast-tracked cold but we need a controlled stratospheric warm surge how are we
00:22:08supposed to control that detonation of a tactical nuclear device in the 10 kiloton range
00:22:15well i thought explosive ordinance was off the table you know we we can't deploy against nemesis
00:22:21directly but i don't think that's what dr bennett is suggesting not we would deploy it into the
00:22:26atmosphere and create heat to counteract the cold where the north pole right above the cap
00:22:34in the right envelope minimal material lofted pressure lifted jet normalization what you're
00:22:40serious and how much damage is that going to cost listen i'm choosing a small fire
00:22:45over an endless night we have to slow this down
00:22:51okay i'll get a w-54 dialed into the 10 kiloton range and i'll have it deployed asap
00:23:08asap
00:23:10come on come on dad i'm honestly surprised it made it this far i think it's dead
00:23:30maybe that one isn't
00:23:33okay
00:23:37wait here when i check it out do you think there's just going to be keys in the sun visor
00:23:40it would let be something
00:23:44stay here keep walking
00:23:47careful
00:23:59jesus
00:24:07jesus
00:24:08come on buddy
00:24:32oh
00:24:34well i tried
00:24:38oh
00:24:52sorry pal
00:25:14Come on, get in the truck!
00:25:22It smells in here, Dad.
00:25:24This is so gross.
00:25:26If it works, it works.
00:25:34Blackstar, this is General Green.
00:25:36ETA to drop.
00:25:39We are two zero zero kilometers away from the drop zone.
00:25:43ETA is one minute.
00:25:45Damn.
00:25:47Go for drop.
00:25:48Copy that.
00:25:49The President wants to know how solid is the science on this.
00:25:53Well, it's solid.
00:25:55The heat released from the warhead will counteract the cooling effects on the jet stream.
00:26:00Well, why didn't we start with this procedure?
00:26:02It's a stopgap measure, not a solution.
00:26:06Approaching drop zone, General.
00:26:10On profile.
00:26:12Arming sequence set.
00:26:14Envelope looks good.
00:26:17Crosswinds negligible.
00:26:20Right.
00:26:22Detonation 10.8 kilometers above cap.
00:26:25No penetration.
00:26:27We're heating air, not ice.
00:26:31Do it.
00:26:34Payload.
00:26:35Away.
00:26:45Payload.
00:26:49Come on.
00:26:52Temperature rising.
00:26:54Two degrees.
00:26:56Three degrees.
00:26:57Good work, people.
00:26:58Let the President know the good news.
00:27:01Oh, wait.
00:27:02Wait.
00:27:03I'm seeing pressure discontinuity.
00:27:04That could cause a tsunami.
00:27:06Where?
00:27:07Off Anchorage in the Alaskan Gulf.
00:27:09There's also a high possibility for an Arctic blast.
00:27:11Send a warning out now.
00:27:12Get any traffic or webcams you can.
00:27:18Wait.
00:27:20What kind of tsunami?
00:27:22Meteor tsunami.
00:27:24Caused by sudden changes in air pressure,
00:27:25fast moving storm fronts,
00:27:26or apparently a 10 kilo ton nuclear powered aerial detonation.
00:27:32A meteor tsunami.
00:27:34Exactly.
00:27:35Get me the mayor of Anchorage or the governor on the phone.
00:27:37Whoever you can get first.
00:27:48The wave is two miles from Anchorage and closing.
00:27:52One mile and closing.
00:27:55Half a mile and closing.
00:28:01Did that wave just freeze in mid-air?
00:28:03Have the city of Anchorage evacuated immediately before that wave thaws.
00:28:09The model hub.
00:28:11It's gone.
00:28:13And for security, the copies were auto-gapped and air-locked.
00:28:17No remote pull.
00:28:18Protocol burned them on grid loss.
00:28:24We're blind.
00:28:26Except for one copy.
00:28:28I have a copy on my thumb drive.
00:28:31And my husband and daughter have it.
00:28:35Then your thumb drive is the most important object on the face of the Earth.
00:28:48We just spoke with Marine Commandant Peterczyk.
00:28:50He says he's going to send the MARSOC Raiders after Tina and Joe, and he's going to have your family
00:28:54on the thumb drive as soon as possible.
00:28:56Good.
00:28:57I thought that modeling data were dead in the water.
00:28:59Why is it that you have the data and not the government?
00:29:02The info from the Tulip field station is downloaded to a number of governmental agencies, but the code needs to
00:29:08be compiled and verified.
00:29:09I compiled the code prior to its distribution, so my thumb drive has the latest version.
00:29:14How far can we get without the drive?
00:29:17We need to prep a new direct effort to remove Nemesis from the Earth-Moon system. Without that, we can't
00:29:23stop this Ice Age.
00:29:24We push it for something bigger than a communication satellite.
00:29:29Like a propulsion satellite?
00:29:30Exactly.
00:29:32We ferry a propulsion system to Nemesis, using the Dream Chaser space plane.
00:29:38Push it back to the asteroid belt.
00:29:41Not exactly easy, no, no, no, no, no, but better for the planet than a nuclear blast.
00:29:46Okay, but we don't have time to spin up a launch code.
00:29:50General, this is a majestic level, Clarence.
00:29:53Can you read them in?
00:29:55Majestic.
00:29:57Uh, Dr. Bennett, Administrator Allen, this is need-to-know information. It does not leave this room. Continue, sir.
00:30:06There is already a Dream Chaser being prepped at Cape Canaveral for a Black Ops mission.
00:30:11All we would have to do is reprogram the mission profile.
00:30:16Okay, but we'd still need to spin a launch for the Dream Chaser.
00:30:19That's the best part. The ISS is being decommissioned, leaving only Tiangong, the Chinese space station in space.
00:30:27The U.S. needs the capability to remove the threat of Tiangong as a weapons platform.
00:30:31So, we've been testing a propulsion assembly to push Tiangong into deep space. Everything we need is there and ready
00:30:39to go.
00:30:40Well, I know that CNSA has already approved any kind of help that you need, so I need you to
00:30:45go down to the Cape and prep the Dream Chaser.
00:30:48And I need you to get started on the code before you leave for the Cape.
00:30:51Wait, wait, leave. What are you talking about?
00:30:54Well, we're gonna need you there. We can't have any of the code be corrupted over transmission. You need to
00:31:00be there to hardwire the code.
00:31:02He's right. He's right. We need you there to ensure maximum success.
00:31:05Oh, okay. No, I don't... I don't do heights. Or flying. Or heights.
00:31:11You're the head of NASA.
00:31:14Yes, and there's a reason why I am in the control room and not the rocket.
00:31:18Not today. I need you to prep the hardware and I need you to get started on the code before
00:31:23you leave. Wheels up in 60.
00:31:24Copy that, sir. You heard him, Doctor.
00:31:29Yes, sir.
00:31:32General, I think we need to seed storms over the most populated cities to avoid Arctic blasts.
00:31:38That's a really good idea. I'll coordinate with the Air Force while you start getting work on the code.
00:31:43Warning. Massive pressure differential detected.
00:31:46Oh, no. Another Arctic blast bringing down our electrical system in the hardened area as well as the regular areas.
00:31:52Aren't we in a hardened area?
00:31:54We are in a hardened area, but if everything is overloaded, that affects the hardened area and then we are
00:31:59out of luck.
00:32:00Well, what about maintenance? I mean, can't they figure it out?
00:32:02All non-essential personnel have already been evacuated. There are no maintenance people.
00:32:07Also, everything here is segmented so that if anything happens in one area, it's protected from the other.
00:32:12So we're essentially an island. It has to be us.
00:32:16What needs to be done?
00:32:17Well, all the electronics are down below in the tunnel, so we need to go down there, we need to
00:32:22look for the problem, and we need to solve it.
00:32:25I've got a ready locker with PPE and all the other equipment. Follow me.
00:32:35How are we going to get into the shelter?
00:32:41Unbelievable.
00:32:43Yeah.
00:32:55Wow.
00:32:55It's all must have ruptured. Water came down the alley. It was frozen by one of those Arctic blasts in
00:33:02mid-air.
00:33:04Dad, I can't do this.
00:33:06Hey, it's going to be okay. We just need to get past us to get inside the shelter, and we're
00:33:11home free.
00:33:12I need you to be brave. You're almost there.
00:33:27We wreck it, so we blow it.
00:33:32I don't know about that, Dad.
00:33:34If we don't, we have to double back two hours, and that's assuming the car wouldn't even make it.
00:33:39We have to. That's the only way.
00:33:41We blow this up and get into the shelter, alright?
00:33:46The fuses in the north, south, east, and west tunnel need to be reset and primed before we fix any
00:33:53of the shorts.
00:33:54Otherwise, we overload the entire system. That's why we've got to work as a team.
00:33:59Alright? Timing is everything.
00:34:02Alright, stay safe. Stay in contact over the cops.
00:34:07Yes. That's your work.
00:34:09What if it flows back on us?
00:34:14We're done.
00:34:29Junction 3, ICE.
00:34:33No immediate threat.
00:34:49Behind the car, and cover your ears! Let's go!
00:35:11It worked!
00:35:12Let's go!
00:35:23Clear of ice and operational, priming the breaker.
00:35:28Our node one is primed and ready for when we find the fault.
00:35:35All right.
00:35:38All right.
00:35:40Node four clear.
00:35:45Priming node.
00:35:50Heading back.
00:35:54Node three clear.
00:35:58It's on you, Madam Administrator.
00:36:04Are any of you getting this temperature drop?
00:36:09No, our systems are holding.
00:36:12I think I found the control box.
00:36:18It's frozen over.
00:36:30You copy?
00:36:42I found the problem.
00:36:44These wires are pretty damaged from the temperature drop.
00:36:49Copy that.
00:36:56Damn it!
00:36:57What happened?
00:36:58Nothing.
00:37:00I just...
00:37:01Cut my glove off.
00:37:03I'm fine.
00:37:04Careful.
00:37:05Any contact of your skin to the metal can cause frostbite.
00:37:08I grew up in Minnesota.
00:37:10I'm aware.
00:37:11Happy.
00:37:20All right.
00:37:21Once I flip these...
00:37:24...you'll have a minute of stable juice at best.
00:37:27Reset your core.
00:37:29We're out the feed.
00:37:30That's not enough time.
00:37:34Then be faster.
00:37:43Laurel, are you okay?
00:37:47Laurel, you need to get out of there.
00:37:48It's not safe.
00:37:50I grew up on a farm.
00:37:52We did winter with a crack stove and a prayer.
00:37:54Safe is relative.
00:38:01All right.
00:38:02Here's more of it.
00:38:09All right.
00:38:11We're go.
00:38:13I can't hold this for very long.
00:38:15The node is active.
00:38:17You're gonna get a window.
00:38:20Take it.
00:38:21Got it.
00:38:21I'm accessing it right now.
00:38:23Hold that line.
00:38:24I'm almost at the command center.
00:38:26Do you hear that?
00:38:26Take a piper.
00:38:27Run!
00:38:30Damn it!
00:38:32I'm stuck.
00:38:32My foot.
00:38:35Oh, my God.
00:38:36Helps.
00:38:38No, no, no, no.
00:38:38You can't help me.
00:38:40I'm not gonna leave you.
00:38:41No, you'll get stuck too.
00:38:42All right.
00:38:43You can fix the problem.
00:38:45Fast.
00:38:45You save me, you, and the planet.
00:38:48Go.
00:38:49Now, Doc.
00:38:50Go!
00:38:56Captain Helps is caught in an ice bloom.
00:38:59Hold on, Madam Administrator.
00:39:01Freeze is coming fast.
00:39:04I can't hold on.
00:39:09Come on!
00:39:15Oh, my God.
00:39:18Come on!
00:39:32Come on!
00:39:34Come on!
00:39:38I can bring the Corps online, but there's only buffer for one save.
00:39:42Either you or Captain Holtz.
00:39:47You can just hold on.
00:39:58Come on, Bennett.
00:40:02Laura, I can't save you both.
00:40:05He needs to fly the dream chaser.
00:40:10The only way to save the planet
00:40:15is to save him.
00:40:17What?
00:40:18Dr. Allen, what did you say?
00:40:21Hold on. Let me try to fix this.
00:40:26There's no time.
00:40:32You save him, Dr. Bennett.
00:40:36And then you go save the world.
00:40:41I'm sorry.
00:40:44I'm sorry.
00:41:11Routing core to Harden Cluster.
00:41:17Pentagon return complete.
00:41:19Dr. Allen?
00:41:21I had to make a decision.
00:41:23Shit.
00:41:31Our systems are back online, but General, we may have a problem.
00:41:36Oh, excellent.
00:41:38It's been about three minutes since we've had one of those.
00:41:42Increased rotational spin of Nemesis, along with the massive amounts of copper and aluminum at its core, is creating massive
00:41:47currents, strong enough to bring down the last of the hardened systems across the world.
00:41:53When?
00:41:54It's happening right now, but due to the increased activity of Nemesis, disruptions will be random.
00:42:00We need to get you to the Cape right now.
00:42:02I'm nowhere near done with the code that's needed.
00:42:04Well, you'll have to finish the code at the Cape while Captain Howitz preps the Dream Chaser.
00:42:08Yeah, he's right.
00:42:09The sooner we get to the Cape, the better our chances.
00:42:12God, I wish my daughter was here.
00:42:14She's a much better coder.
00:42:15Plus, she has the info from Tulick Field Station.
00:42:18Look, once the Raiders find your husband and daughter, we'll get you that code, but you need to be at
00:42:22the Cape and upload that code to the Dream Chaser, and you need to leave now.
00:42:26Is flying a good idea in this weather?
00:42:28I mean, tidal waves are freezing.
00:42:30I know you have a thing about flying, but as you've explained, these Arctic blasts, they're isolated, contained, and random,
00:42:38meaning the people and places on the ground will be affected, but going at the speed and altitude that you'll
00:42:43be flying, you won't be.
00:42:45Yeah.
00:42:46He's right.
00:42:47Also, I have an F-15E Strike Eagle out of Ileson.
00:42:50It's been hardened for cold weather ops.
00:42:52Special fuel blends, Arctic ground support, deicing.
00:42:56It's being prepped right now at Ronald Reagan.
00:42:58You need to get everything you need for programming, and you need to be up in the air in 20
00:43:02minutes.
00:43:07Can't go any further.
00:43:09Some shelter, but there's nobody here, and we're stuck in a kitchen.
00:43:11Some shelter there.
00:43:14I've had them cold.
00:43:25Oh.
00:43:26I have an idea.
00:43:28Does this work?
00:43:35Yes.
00:43:49Okay, Dad, this is a really awesome hack.
00:43:51This is hitting the spot right now.
00:43:55Enjoy it way less.
00:43:59I don't know how long until the line's free, Sony.
00:44:03I mean, we are only 10 miles away from our weather.
00:44:06We could start heading over there.
00:44:09The call won't make it.
00:44:11Let's not worry about that right now.
00:44:21Do you think my mom's okay?
00:44:24I mean, she would be with us if she wasn't always working.
00:44:29We might not ever see her again.
00:44:31Hey, don't you ever say that.
00:44:34Mom is fine.
00:44:36Okay?
00:44:38She's the pentagon that's the safest place on the planet.
00:44:41And she's smart.
00:44:43Just like you.
00:44:50She's probably been waiting for us.
00:44:52With blankets.
00:44:53And hot chocolate.
00:45:03Probably right.
00:45:09I just have to keep reminding myself that being on the ground isn't any better.
00:45:14This airframe is built for punishment.
00:45:17Twin engines, redundant systems, ejection seats.
00:45:20Strapping into this baby.
00:45:21The storm is safer than any commercial jet.
00:45:24Thanks.
00:45:25Regan Tower.
00:45:27Viper 1-1 single ship F-15E.
00:45:30IFR to Cape Canaveral.
00:45:31Holding short runway.
00:45:331-9-9-er.
00:45:34Ready for departure.
00:45:36Viper 1-1.
00:45:37Regan Tower.
00:45:37Runway 1-9.
00:45:38Cleared for takeoff.
00:45:39Fly.
00:45:40Runway.
00:45:40Heading.
00:45:41Climb.
00:45:41And maintain.
00:45:42One-02-1000.
00:45:43Departure frequency.
00:45:44One-two-five.
00:45:45Point eight.
00:45:46Squawk four-five, two-one.
00:45:48Contact.
00:45:49Departure on hold.
00:46:02Fall-9's worse than forecast.
00:46:04Sheer like teeth.
00:46:06And I suggest we keep our hands out of its mouth.
00:46:08I agree.
00:46:10The screen's flickering. Something's playing with the field.
00:46:15Nemesis' interference is getting worse.
00:46:17Should be able to correlate the rotational frequency with its effect on the electrical magnetosphere.
00:46:22Coming in?
00:46:23Rough weather ahead. Working on a way to anticipate better.
00:46:27Copy that. Look, whatever helps keep us alive.
00:46:31Command, Dr. Bennett. EM anomalies escalating.
00:46:33Copy that, Doctor.
00:46:34Now, Canaveral says they can build you a narrow window, but be aware, there is reports of a massive hailstorm
00:46:41at the Cape, coming in waves.
00:46:43Now, if you can thread the needle between the first and second wave, you'll be golden.
00:46:49We'll copy that.
00:46:52We thread the needle, we fly to the Cape, fly to the Dream Chaser. Simple.
00:46:58We need Tina's modules meshed before we light that fuse. I'll finish integration on the ground.
00:47:04What's wrong? Being on the ground is better!
00:47:07I'm watching Arctic Glass.
00:47:11Where's that going?
00:47:12Can we ride asymmetric?
00:47:14Yeah, we're gonna have to.
00:47:16God!
00:47:18Can't dodge them all at this speed, just the big ones.
00:47:22Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
00:47:24Goddammit, dammit! That was the tail!
00:47:26Can't control the F-15 in this state.
00:47:28The hail has some silence.
00:47:30We have to get out of this jet.
00:47:31Over here.
00:47:32We're ejecting.
00:47:33What?
00:47:34We have to. If we stay here, we're dead.
00:47:36If we eject, at least we stand a chance.
00:47:38If we eject, we're gonna be dead!
00:47:41My mark.
00:47:42One.
00:47:43No.
00:47:44Two.
00:47:45No!
00:47:46Three!
00:47:46I don't think that's a good idea!
00:47:48Ah!
00:47:57Ah!
00:47:59Ah!
00:48:01Ah!
00:48:01Ah!
00:48:02Ah!
00:48:08You want one piece?
00:48:09Yeah, I'm okay!
00:48:11Okay, good.
00:48:13Safer than a commercial jet, my ass!
00:48:18Two miles.
00:48:19Give or take.
00:48:21We gotta hoof it.
00:48:22We don't wanna get caught in another archer blast.
00:48:28So are we not gonna talk about what just happened?
00:48:34Stop!
00:48:37Er...
00:48:37Help!
00:48:41Hey, wait for me!
00:48:48Where's Captain Howe's plane?
00:48:51It's dropped off the radar, sir.
00:48:54Is that because it's downed, or is there a problem with the radar?
00:48:57Unknown, sir.
00:48:59Find out.
00:48:59Yes, sir.
00:49:08Okay, all right.
00:49:10Hold on.
00:49:11We're almost there.
00:49:11An entrance to the underground Cape Canaveral passage is about half a mile.
00:49:20Are you okay?
00:49:25Okay.
00:49:27Okay.
00:49:28Okay.
00:49:29All right, come on.
00:49:30We won't last long in a blast, even in these suits.
00:49:36Found an entrance.
00:49:39What's wrong?
00:49:40Nothing.
00:49:40Come on, I know you're hurt.
00:49:43Ice caught my shoulder a little.
00:49:46Can't fly to space like that.
00:49:49Come on, will you just let me see it?
00:49:52Okay.
00:49:53Okay.
00:49:54You're okay.
00:49:55Come right here.
00:49:57Don't worry.
00:50:03Don't worry.
00:50:04I'm a doctor.
00:50:04Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:50:06Medical doctor, right?
00:50:10Yeah.
00:50:14I'm better than that.
00:50:15I'm a mom and the wife of a Raycon Marine.
00:50:18And as a bonus, I speak four languages.
00:50:22I'm not sure what the languages have to do with my shoulder.
00:50:27Thanks, Doc.
00:50:28I know.
00:50:31Whoa.
00:50:33We've got company.
00:50:38We speak later, Doc.
00:50:41Well, that wasn't one of the four.
00:50:44Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:50:44Hey, hey, hey.
00:50:45Eyes on me, handsome.
00:51:03Hey, Gator.
00:51:05Showed us the way out of here.
00:51:10Looks like this tunnel goes all the way under the road
00:51:12and will let us out near the launch complex.
00:51:15What's there?
00:51:16We'll identify ourselves.
00:51:17We'll take us to Tartarus.
00:51:19What's Tartarus?
00:51:20The Space Force is top secret, subterranean facility.
00:51:23It's a space complex.
00:51:24It allows us to prep, test, missions without prying icing.
00:51:28That's why we don't know about it.
00:51:30Let's go.
00:51:38When we get to the shelter, we'll make sure we contact Mom,
00:51:40Aysa.
00:51:41Mm-hmm.
00:51:47Dad, the heat's dying.
00:51:57Come on.
00:52:06We can break off some chairs in the dining area and start a fire.
00:52:12I think someone's here.
00:52:20Be quiet.
00:52:23Don't move.
00:52:24I'm scared.
00:52:25Tom.
00:52:28Come on.
00:52:30Come on.
00:52:45Hands up.
00:52:47Stand right there.
00:52:49Identify yourself.
00:52:52The Marine Corps, Captain Jackson, we're on a rescue mission, Lieutenant Bennett USMC and
00:53:00his daughter Tina.
00:53:01Have you seen them?
00:53:03It's us.
00:53:05We're ready to prove it.
00:53:06We'll verify.
00:53:07Get you warmed up and back to Mount Weather.
00:53:09If you don't mind me asking, how'd you find us?
00:53:12We're Marines, ma'am.
00:53:14Let's go.
00:53:17We'll be ready for lunch within the hour.
00:53:20I want you to get on that pre-flight check ASAP.
00:53:24Captain Danvers, where can I finish the code on that boat?
00:53:26Let's get you out of the fleet and load into the flight deck.
00:53:28You, follow me to the control center.
00:53:30We can walk from there.
00:53:31Okay.
00:53:37Sir, thank you for the Marine escort.
00:53:40It helped us to get here as safe and quick as possible.
00:53:44Send for file, Lieutenant.
00:53:46Now, Dr. Bennett is at the Cape working on that flight that I
00:53:48described earlier, but she needs the Tulick field base model
00:53:51that's on her thumb drive.
00:53:52Yes, we have to flash drive.
00:53:55What does she need my help with?
00:53:57Actually, she needs Tina.
00:53:59I can give you the specifics later, but basically, she wants
00:54:03to integrate the Tulick field algorithm into the code that
00:54:06she's writing for the propulsion assembly burn sequence.
00:54:09Do you understand what he's talking about?
00:54:12Yeah.
00:54:12I just need Mom's base code in order to prime the hooks and then reset the return
00:54:16patch signal.
00:54:18All right.
00:54:20General?
00:54:21I got it.
00:54:21So I'll send the rest of the code earlier, but once you get this, you're going to wrap
00:54:24the weather model API into the base kernel and balance the streams.
00:54:28Is that correct?
00:54:30Wow, General.
00:54:30You know your stuff.
00:54:31Programming didn't start in 2019, you know what?
00:54:34Now, we have a direct hard line from Mount Weather to the Pentagon.
00:54:38That's why we're able to have this video conference.
00:54:41We don't have the same luxury out to the Cape.
00:54:44So unfortunately, we're going to have to use the old Cold War analog lines.
00:54:49That's why we can't have you speak directly with your wife.
00:54:52Copy that, General.
00:54:54Oh, General, why don't you just use AI?
00:54:57Wouldn't that be a lot faster?
00:54:58Well, using AI, they want to use LLMs or large language models, and all the code that we're
00:55:03using is proprietary military code, and it would just be a security nightmare putting
00:55:10that into an AI algorithm.
00:55:12People still matter, Lieutenant.
00:55:15Copy that.
00:55:16Now, young lady, I need you to start coding ASAP, and you're going to have to be using
00:55:21simplex lines, not duplex, so the data's only going to go in one direction.
00:55:25You understand?
00:55:26Yes, sir.
00:55:26Good girl.
00:55:27Get to it.
00:55:28Let's get you plugged in.
00:55:36Cool.
00:55:38All right.
00:55:38All I need to do is just make sure the control packages get sent out first, and then I can
00:55:43send out the diagnosis.
00:55:44How long?
00:55:46Give or take about eight or nine minutes.
00:55:52What's that?
00:55:53Dad, we have to keep the line going no matter what happens outside of there or in here.
00:56:00Any news?
00:56:02General Green confirms Tina and Joe are safe.
00:56:05It's also launched the cloud seeding mission.
00:56:07That'll buy us some time.
00:56:09But Tina's upload of the Tuluk field model is coming in now, but…
00:56:15But what?
00:56:21The code will be finalized before launch.
00:56:29There is an option.
00:56:31Name it.
00:56:34The coding isn't finished before launch.
00:56:41Okay, wait.
00:56:43Tell me again.
00:56:44How would that work?
00:56:46I can't believe I'm suggesting this.
00:56:49But I go with you.
00:56:53Okay, what?
00:56:54You were freaking out just flying here.
00:56:58And now you want to strap yourself to a rocket to space.
00:57:00Okay, trust me.
00:57:01I'm not thrilled with the idea exactly, but it's our only option.
00:57:04We take the hardware with us and we finish the coding there.
00:57:07That takes care of communication and latency issues.
00:57:11And it can't be worse than the Gator.
00:57:13Right?
00:57:17Yeah.
00:57:19Okay.
00:57:20We're going to get you a pressure suit.
00:57:24I'm only at 48%.
00:57:25Tina, we need to move faster.
00:57:27We're moving as fast as I can, Dad.
00:57:29No.
00:57:29No.
00:57:30No.
00:57:30How close?
00:57:31We're only at halfway.
00:57:33Come on, guys.
00:57:34Move it.
00:57:35Hurry that up.
00:57:36We need to get down to the bunker.
00:57:38Move it.
00:57:38Move it.
00:57:39Time's up.
00:57:39But I'm not done yet.
00:57:40That's it.
00:57:41We gotta move.
00:57:42We gotta move.
00:57:42We gotta move.
00:57:43We gotta move.
00:57:43Let's go.
00:57:45Move.
00:57:48Move quick.
00:58:00Tina's upload just stopped.
00:58:02Capcom, this is Chaser One.
00:58:04We're rolling hot.
00:58:06Copy, Chaser One.
00:58:07Window is minus three to plus 90 seconds.
00:58:09Beyond that, weather wins.
00:58:11Copy that.
00:58:12Launch checklist.
00:58:13Didn't you hear me?
00:58:14I don't have the code.
00:58:15I heard you.
00:58:16We have a launch window.
00:58:18It's not up to me.
00:58:21Batteries on avionics green, initial green, RCS primed, thermal marginal.
00:58:32It could just be a clinch.
00:58:33Just keep working the lane.
00:58:35No, no, no, no, no.
00:58:39Wait.
00:58:42The truck!
00:58:43Ab!
00:58:44Did you think the battery still hurts?
00:58:46We're about to find out!
00:58:50Yes!
00:58:52Get in!
00:59:02Come on!
00:59:03Hold on!
00:59:11Five, four, three, two, one.
00:59:15Go for liftoff.
00:59:16Copy that.
00:59:18Lighting the candle.
00:59:19Helium.
00:59:20Radon.
00:59:24Guidance stamp.
00:59:25Hold her nose.
00:59:26Copy that.
00:59:31It's freezing.
00:59:33We lose it, we choke.
00:59:35We're in an icing layer 6,000 thick.
00:59:37We need a thermal event on the skin to get rid of the ice.
00:59:41We gotta wash the AC chemistry.
00:59:44Advise the icing?
00:59:46We're gonna obey the space plane?
00:59:47All the important parts.
00:59:50Either we do that,
00:59:52or we lose it.
00:59:54Routing methanol and chlorine-1 lines to external dump.
00:59:57We need a catalyst.
00:59:59Catalyst?
01:00:01It's the heat we're making.
01:00:07That worked.
01:00:10Chaser-1.
01:00:11You're clear of low-level hazard.
01:00:13Good climb.
01:00:14Watch shear at 12K.
01:00:17Climbing through.
01:00:24Guidance is nominal.
01:00:25We're in plan A loaded.
01:00:27We're above the storm.
01:00:40Fuel flow is good.
01:00:42Three clean.
01:00:43Four nominal.
01:00:44Propulsion assembly diagnostic is as well as mostly green and a little yellow.
01:00:49Assembly looks good for delivery.
01:00:51We'll keep it warm.
01:00:52It'll do its job.
01:00:54Chaser-1.
01:00:55Good trajectory.
01:00:57You're going for orbital insertion.
01:01:00Go for insertion.
01:01:07Capcom patched me in.
01:01:08I don't know how long this patch will be stable.
01:01:12There's a breach at Mount Weather and the facility suffered a great amount of damage.
01:01:17At this time, the disposition of your family is unknown.
01:01:25They should be with them.
01:01:28What am I doing?
01:01:30I need you to find them.
01:01:31General?
01:01:34We lost the signal.
01:01:35No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:01:37We can't lose the signal right now.
01:01:39General?
01:01:40Come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:01:42Come on, this can't be happening.
01:01:43No, I can't fail my family.
01:01:45Don, Don.
01:01:46You're not.
01:01:48Doing everything that you can.
01:01:51I need you to focus.
01:01:53Okay?
01:01:55We're butchie nemesis.
01:02:01We're here.
01:02:05The signal's being affected by it.
01:02:10Holy shit.
01:02:14Yeah.
01:02:18Let's get to work.
01:02:22This is composition mixed rubble,
01:02:24nuclear inclusions, vitreous pockets.
01:02:28Spin procession increasing 3% per minute and climbing.
01:02:32Oh, she's rolling downhill in space.
01:02:35Dragging our magnetosphere with her.
01:02:39Assembly shows stress.
01:02:41Thermal gradients outside spec.
01:02:43Okay, keep it warm.
01:02:45Commencing fairing separation.
01:02:48Propulsion assembly deployment.
01:02:53Feed manifold cores sledging.
01:02:56That line froze once on the pad, it's refreezing.
01:03:00What's the warm-out deploy?
01:03:03Warm-ish.
01:03:05Not or we don't like at this altitude.
01:03:09Okay.
01:03:11Here's what we'll do.
01:03:12We deploy the propulsion assembly slowly.
01:03:14One step at a time.
01:03:16Very gently, okay?
01:03:17You call the temps, I'll handle the assembly.
01:03:19Copy, I'll open the channel.
01:03:23Capcom chaser one on station.
01:03:26Beginning assembly checks.
01:03:35Wait, pressure just dropped.
01:03:39Abort?
01:03:40If we stop now, the jolt could jam the whole process.
01:03:42But if we continue, we risk a leak in cold shock.
01:03:45Take your poison, Doc.
01:03:47Continue, then we fix it by hand.
01:03:49Copy.
01:03:51Capcom.
01:03:52Repulsion assembly is out of cradle,
01:03:53but there's a frozen fuel line.
01:03:56I'll need to go outside.
01:03:57Proceed to manually service it.
01:03:59Capcom.
01:04:00We have General Green patched in again.
01:04:02I know the state of your plane,
01:04:04but I will not have you die 10 meters from success.
01:04:07You understand me?
01:04:09I need you both back here on this side of things.
01:04:12Finish the repair and get back on board the ship ASAP.
01:04:16Understood?
01:04:16Roger that, General.
01:04:18We're sitting with EVA.
01:04:22Be careful.
01:04:26General, any word on my family?
01:04:31Visuals have them leaving in a vehicle, but their whereabouts are still unknown.
01:04:38Let's hope they can finish the upload before it's too late.
01:04:41I have the partial code here, and I'm waiting for the rest of it.
01:04:44I'm in an EVA suit, egressing the airlock at the beginning of the EVA.
01:04:49Copy that.
01:04:50I'm in an EVA suit.
01:05:03Feed four elbows got a frost head too.
01:05:07Gentle heat, minimal mechanical stress.
01:05:11If you flex that elbow, it'll snap like spun glass.
01:05:15Copy. Localized thaw.
01:05:30Weeping.
01:05:31She's weeping fuel.
01:05:33Okay, back off.
01:05:35Now.
01:05:36That's cascade territory.
01:05:37If it gets worse and this thing blows, this could be a much shorter trip than planned.
01:05:42We should have ignition in.
01:05:48Command assembly hot.
01:05:50Aborting.
01:05:51Aborting.
01:05:58Captain, status.
01:06:07I'm here.
01:06:08I'm good.
01:06:09We're good.
01:06:10I'm...
01:06:11That was close.
01:06:15All right, then.
01:06:17Prep for deployment?
01:06:19Ready.
01:06:20Long assembly.
01:06:28And the propulsion assembly has made contact with Nemesis.
01:06:32Ready for burn.
01:06:33We still don't have that code updated.
01:06:35We need the last piece.
01:06:37We need to proceed now, okay?
01:06:39It can't get worse.
01:06:40Calling for burn.
01:06:41Burn parameters plugged in and ready.
01:06:45Skinny burn.
01:06:47Three.
01:06:49Two.
01:06:50One.
01:06:57No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:06:58It's spinning faster.
01:07:01Come on.
01:07:05Talk to me.
01:07:06We made it worse.
01:07:08Increased spin is creating the global ice age now.
01:07:11Wait, but now?
01:07:13We're past the point of no return.
01:07:15In eight hours, it won't just be Arctic blast pockets.
01:07:18It'll be the whole world.
01:07:23The entire planet will die.
01:07:31Houts, talk to me.
01:07:33The entire southern hemisphere is freezing.
01:07:35We are losing lives.
01:07:38You don't think I know that?
01:07:40The propulsion assembly suffered a critical failure.
01:07:42It sent Nemesis speeding even faster.
01:07:45Electrical grids are going down worldwide.
01:07:49What's going on?
01:07:50She's lost all power, sir.
01:07:51Heat.
01:07:52Gone.
01:07:54Okay, gather everybody into the control room to conserve heat
01:07:57and reroute any battery power we have to comms.
01:08:01Come on!
01:08:02We have to launch another assembly.
01:08:04Oh, we only prepared the one.
01:08:06What else you got?
01:08:08I don't know.
01:08:09The planet is freezing.
01:08:10People are dying and everything we do seems to be making it worse.
01:08:12I just need a minute.
01:08:14We have mass engines.
01:08:16A few shorter than I'd like.
01:08:19We can push a little.
01:08:20Maybe enough to give Earth a little breathing room
01:08:23and keep it surviving for a little bit longer.
01:08:26Probably assist fake.
01:08:28We burn the spin and make the torque.
01:08:31But if we...
01:08:37We reroute all the fuel from the reserve tanks.
01:08:41We might be able to act as a propulsion assembly ourselves.
01:08:47That's a one-way ticket, Doc.
01:08:51There's no law at home.
01:08:55Humanity's fate is in our hands.
01:08:57How can we let fear stop us?
01:09:02Okay.
01:09:05Okay.
01:09:14All right, I can build a micro burn ladder to increase our thrust ratio.
01:09:18It's not as good as Tina's code that it'll do.
01:09:21All right, we'll ride the edge of Nemesis' field.
01:09:24Less fuel, more leverage.
01:09:26Things might get Harry strapped in, Doc.
01:09:29Hey, General.
01:09:31We're initiating an emergency micro burn to attempt to replace and polish an assembly.
01:09:35We're not going down without a fight.
01:09:39Understood.
01:09:40We'll do what we can down here.
01:09:42Godspeed.
01:09:43I'll be there, General.
01:09:54We've actually made some great time.
01:09:55Thanks for everyone being evacuated.
01:09:57Yeah.
01:09:58How much further?
01:10:00Depend of which is across the river.
01:10:03Another ten minutes if we're lucky.
01:10:05Okay.
01:10:10God damn it!
01:10:12What?
01:10:14I'd have to say it.
01:10:16What?
01:10:16Look.
01:10:24Dad, we're out of time.
01:10:25How are we going to get to the Pentagon now?
01:10:28All right.
01:10:29Better cross the Washington's monument, plaza, and pick up the bridge on the other side of the river.
01:10:33All right?
01:10:39Uh, Dad?
01:10:41Dad, it's about to break on us!
01:10:42Hold on!
01:10:50Hey.
01:10:51Hey.
01:10:52You okay?
01:10:54All right.
01:10:58Come on.
01:11:02God damn it.
01:11:04There's no way.
01:11:06Get us to start again.
01:11:10Dad?
01:11:13You need to get this to Mom.
01:11:16You can't just fight for nothing.
01:11:18I know, sweetie.
01:11:19You need to.
01:11:28No way.
01:11:31All right.
01:11:32Pack your gear.
01:11:33All right?
01:11:34We got a shot.
01:11:35What?
01:11:36Follow me.
01:11:39All right.
01:11:49You ready?
01:11:50Come on.
01:11:55Come on.
01:11:56Come on.
01:11:56Where are we going?
01:11:59To save the future, all right?
01:12:11I don't know about this, Dad. It looks really old.
01:12:18Where are the computers?
01:12:21Look, maybe the panel.
01:12:24Come on. Yes.
01:12:30I'm good to upload from here.
01:12:36And then all I need to do is just finish this upload to the general and get it tomorrow.
01:12:41Just a few more commands.
01:12:57It's working.
01:13:08The comms are back.
01:13:10The Toolik station upload is resumed. Okay, port all the data over to my workstation so I can start compiling
01:13:15before we do the burst transmission over to Dream Chaser 1.
01:13:18It won't be easy to manually compile that much data.
01:13:21I'm a Space Force General. I was a computer engineer long before I was an astronaut.
01:13:26Okay, I'm gonna transfer, reserve fuel to our main tanks to power the main thrusters. How are the avionics coming?
01:13:33Great. Tina worked fast and the general has been uploading the compiled version to our nav comp system.
01:13:40Tweaking the code to maximize the burn and get the most power we can out of this ship.
01:13:44Excellent. Let me know when it's locked in, okay?
01:13:46Copy that.
01:13:50You know, it's...
01:13:53It's a little cliché.
01:13:55My, uh, personal life and military life in this pursuit.
01:14:02I am so busy with the world that I just didn't focus on my own personal life.
01:14:16Main thrusters takes full, prepped, ready.
01:14:21Seems like you have a lovely family.
01:14:24You know, I worked really hard to get to my position at NASA.
01:14:28Long work hours, dissertations, sacrifice, you know.
01:14:36But nothing compares to the moment that I held Tina in my arms for the first time.
01:14:44God, she gave meaning to my life in a way my job never did.
01:14:53When you hold that baby in your arms for the first time...
01:14:59God, there's nothing like it.
01:15:06You would do anything to protect that little life.
01:15:10Even if it means sacrificing your own.
01:15:19Load is compiled and uploaded with all my tweaks to get the best burn.
01:15:25Looks like we're ready to light this candle.
01:15:31I'm priming the fuel lines.
01:15:41Damn!
01:15:41What?
01:15:43I, I, I forgot.
01:15:45The valve's in the CEV.
01:15:47You scramble back there and check the gauge and close the valve.
01:15:50Otherwise, the valve saves and prioritizes the fuel to the lipo, not the mains.
01:15:55Yeah, you got it.
01:16:01Okay, what am I looking for?
01:16:03It's a fuel gauge.
01:16:05Port side, literally right next to the joystick.
01:16:12Oh, found it.
01:16:13Good thing two tanks full.
01:16:16We'll need to transfer it to the mains.
01:16:27You'll need her to get home.
01:16:30Go find your baby.
01:16:32Don't let anything bad happen to her.
01:16:34No!
01:16:36Let me out! Captain!
01:16:46Oh, Tina, the door won't budge.
01:16:49Eyes asked you to shut.
01:16:52Oh, our best shot.
01:16:55What we have is to...
01:16:57To huddle together and conserve our heat.
01:17:00All right?
01:17:02Well...
01:17:03At least we got the code, Mom.
01:17:06She's gonna fix things.
01:17:09Hey.
01:17:10I'm proud of you.
01:17:11You showed real bravery today on you.
01:17:14And it's gonna be okay.
01:17:16All right?
01:17:17Mom and I promised.
01:17:29Captain!
01:17:30Come in! Come in!
01:17:32Thank you, Doctor.
01:17:35This would not have been possible without you up here with me.
01:17:39It's your heavenly safe home.
01:17:40Godspeed.
01:17:43Over and out.
01:17:44Oh.
01:17:48Capcom.
01:17:49Chase for one Dr. Ben is on the lifeboat on her way home.
01:17:53I'm taking control authority and committing to push.
01:17:58I understand, Captain.
01:18:01I won't say goodbye.
01:18:04Fly well.
01:18:06Aye, sir.
01:18:12All right, Nemesis.
01:18:16Let's dance.
01:18:23Come on.
01:18:42He's doing it.
01:18:44He's moving Nemesis and shifting Earth's axis back.
01:18:52God bless you, Captain.
01:18:57All right.
01:19:13Made a human heart.
01:19:13Tell me what.
01:19:13I'm a man.
01:19:13I'm not sure what he asks.
01:19:14To be right out of the house.
01:19:15They're still looking for the house.
01:19:15To be right out of the house.
01:19:17To be right out of the house.
01:19:22You're still worshiping the house.
01:19:22Hope in the house!
01:19:51General, we made this thing.
01:19:53I splashed out. I'm alive.
01:19:55Dr. Bennett, welcome home.
01:20:14It's so warm.
01:20:21General?
01:20:22He did it.
01:20:24Nemesis is outbound.
01:20:25Earth will fall.
01:20:27You made it count.
01:20:29Oh, Joe.
01:20:30Joe, Tina.
01:20:32I've got to talk to them.
01:20:34There are some emergency towers back up.
01:20:36I'll pat you through.
01:20:47Someone?
01:20:48Mom?
01:20:49Taya?
01:20:51Joe?
01:20:52Tina?
01:20:54Please tell me you're both safe.
01:20:56We're safe.
01:20:59It's so good to hear your brother.
01:21:02We've got you.
01:21:03Always.
01:21:04Yeah, we love you, Mom.
01:21:08I love you, too.
01:21:10I love you, too, baby girl.
01:21:16With all my heart.
01:21:22I'll see you soon, okay?
01:21:24I love you.
01:21:25See you soon.
01:21:28I love you.
01:21:42See you soon.
01:21:45Let's go.
01:21:46Let's go.
01:21:48Let's go.
01:21:57Let's go.
01:22:11Let's go.
