---

Contractors are running everything.

Global One is running the lead

on this operation.

- It's Carson Welch's rocket.

- Gilcrest?

How much does Gilcrest know, sir?

Now that he's back with Welch,

how much does he not know?

You know what?

I'll take that hat too.

Oh, boy, am I a goner.

Hello, sir.

Hello, captain.

It is a victory and an honor

to steal you away this afternoon.

Got you a peppermint tea. Ahem.

Oh, the hat.

You must be wondering about this hat.

This hat serves no purpose.

The entire idea of including sunglasses

in the actual hat...

...is ridiculous

and unwieldy in execution.

Yet somehow, ahem...

...you lost your sunglasses

and somebody stole your badass look.

Anyway, heh...

...you may now wear the hat.

I understand your reluctance.

I know what it represents.

My first civilian gift to you.

And what do I really have to offer you?

Everybody I've gotten close to, I've

managed to detach myself in some way.

And frankly, just floating

the idea of you and me as a couple...

...all I see are problems.

I am talking about world chaos.

I'm talking about panic in the streets.

Demonstrations, riots, problems

with your promotion, strange incidents.

And let's just be honest,

it'll end as it began.

A flicker of an impossible dream

and an avalanche of emotional chaos.

And I'm sorry, but...

...I'm in for all of it.

Is that a yes?

- I think I have an allergy.

- lt's going around. You loving the hat?

I feel silly.

Well, you wear silly well.

I know what you know.

What?

Stop with the games.

Oh, my God. I got personal with you.

I never get personal.

- I had fun with you.

- Good.

- I believed you. Heh.

- Good.

That's...

- You told me not to.

- No, no, no.

Might be the worst part.

I believed you, you told me not to.

- No. You got this all wrong.

- I didn't come here to argue.

You came to knife me in a gut-and-run.

I know the type. I am the type.

What am I saying?

Oh.

I need you to believe in me.

I know what you know.

And what do I know?

You lied to everybody.

You knew about the launch.

You knew about that ASAT rocket.

You were distracting those Hawaiians

and giving them what?

Property they already owned

a thousand years ago?

- I don't have mountains to give them.

- You let me lie to the Hawaiians.

I'm Hawaiian. You lost your signal.

You are lost.

Hey!

Hey! Hey, I just wanted to say,

good luck with your career!

I'm sure you're gonna get NRO.

Find somebody else to recommend you.

- That's what this is about?

- You tell me.

I'm here because

you needed a babysitter.

I volunteered to be your watchdog.

I defended you when everybody said,

"You better watch out for that guy.

He's morally bankrupt and the guy

you get to do your dirty work."

Who's everybody?

Everybody in the streets?

In the world? Were they all gathered

at a mountaintop and sing to you?

Your cynicism is astounding,

Mr. Gilcrest.

Thank you for the hat, by the way.

It's a nice souvenir.

- Are there weapons in it?

- Just leave it.

- I was your last chance.

- Right, yeah, and you know so much.

Heh. And you knew everything.

You sold your soul so many times,

nobody's buying anymore.

Oh, hey, Dad.

Hey, Woody.

Can I get your autograph?

- Hey.

- Hey, Dad.

- Thank-you notes, huh?

- Yep.

- How was winter prom?

- Nice.

- Yeah?

- It was good. Yeah.

- Except it's winter social.

- Oh.

Sorry, bunny.

How was work?

Yeah, good.

Mm.

Okay.

And that's it?

That's all we have to say about it?

Yeah. Good.

Mm.

Just gonna...

This is all Gilcrest's fault.

This is not Gilcrest's fault.

We had problems

long before Gilcrest showed up.

- Maybe it's not his fault, but I--

- But what?

What?

Just talk to me.

You don't talk to me.

Say something.

Woody,

I can't take this silence anymore.

You stay.

- I'm leaving.

- No.

No.

L'll go.

I'm always going.

All right, so...

l'll go.

Hello? Heh,

Are you leaving?

I got one more appointment with Bumpy,

then the gate blessing.

Grace, could you just go down

and check on your brother?

Okay.-

Okay.-

Okay, not so fast.

We have stuff to deal with before

the famous Gilcrest exodus. Look--

She's a great girl.

Woody is a lucky father.

Hey, I think that you came back here

for a reason whether you knew it or not...

...and I think you did.

- The Arrival is departing.

Hey, it's time, okay?

- You're going to tell me what I may know.

- What-- ? What is that?

Say it.

Just say it.

Let's just straight-up talk about it

before I explode.

- Let me ask you like this.

- Okay.

Let's say it's Father's Day.

Do I have something to celebrate

or not?

You celebrate.

Okay.

Oh. Finally.

Come back! Come back! Come back!

Oh, my God.

There's a lot of you there.

Excuse you. Stop it!

Who else knows?

Well, let's see.

It's been me for 13 years.

Woody?

No, we never discussed it.

- But then-- Yeah.

- The silent thing.

You could've had the discussion

without knowing.

Exactly.

He left last night.

- He left?

- Mm-hm.

- Was he angry?

- He decapitated Santa Claus.

Don't call me "bunny."

I don't like it. Stop.

Stop it.

I should go.

- Grace? Honey?

- Mitchell.

We're gonna go.

Stop teasing your sister.

Yes. Let's go.

Something on my sleeve a'

Now every time I see your face I'

The bells ring in a far-off place a'

We can find each other this way

I believe a'

I am standing

at the groundbreaking ceremony...

...for the Hickam Air Force Base

pedestrian gate...

...where ancient Hawaiian bones

will be blessed by local leaders.

Relocating the gate will enable

the Air Force's new partner...

...Global One's Carson Welch,

to build new factories...

...and fully privatize space exploration

from Hawaii.

And look at the excitement in the air.

Come and find me now a'

Come and find me now a'

Uh-oh.

Shenanigans.

Both of you, come on.

Excuse me, lips moving.

Talking to you both.

We've been compromised.

Moving up the launch.

- They need you. Carson asked for you.

- l'll do it.

Excuse me, is this happening now?

I am not a part of this. I will not be.

We are 20 minutes away

from an incident.

I'll do it.

- What does she know?

- Too much.

- Can we drop her off?

- Hey! You guys are stuck together...

...until DoD unsticks you.

- Mm.

DoD says the Chinese might have

hacked into the payload.

- They're not gonna cancel the launch?

- Thank you. Finally, a good idea.

It's already in motion. Carson has

the window. Time is a big factor.

- You're the guy to do this.

- He's past his prime.

- Oh, you peaked in dancing school.

- Enough!

- L'll do it.

- Good.

There's a black outpost

six minutes away.

Take it easy, brah. Relax.

It's a beautiful day for flight

here at our equatorial launch site...

...134 miles south of Hawaii

in international waters.

The launch vehicle is ready for its most

direct route to geosynchronous orbit.

All systems are looking good

at this time.

The weather for today's mission

is good.

Move quickly.
