I will personally ...

Yo Saunders, ever been in a department run by some

kind of Donald Trump/Mike Tyson mutant combo.

- What was that petty officer Raikes?

- Nothing, sir.

I swear you said Donald Trump.

Wanna calrify?

I think I heard a Myke Tyson as well.

If you did,

it was only in reference to the fact the you both

project great physical intensity, sir.

That's flattering.

Hopper! A helo headed for the Samson.

Make sure your ass is on it.

- Why?

- I don't know why. Just make sure your on it!

Copy sir.

Damn!

Scorpio 1-4

Lt Hopper is on board.

- I just got off the phone with the JAG.

- And?

They are probably gonna

kick you out of the Navy.

- When?

- The day we get back.

- From Rimpac?

- Yeap.

- You've gotta make some calls.

- Some calls?

Who do I call to teach you humility?

I'm sorry, I dont' have that number.

I just don't get it man.

You got so much potential.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

And I'm sorry I let you down.

Stand up nice and tall. I want you to focus on

that green marker right in the middle of your back.

Where do you think I'm paying attention to?

- Keep your feet together.

- My feet can't get any closer.

- Stand up tall!

- Alright, I've had enough of this.

- Keep going. Just a little more.

- Turn the damn thing off!

- Come on, we're just about there.

- Turn it off now!

I'm your new physical therapist.

- I'm sensing alot of anger.

- Very persceptive of you.

- Is there anything besides anger in there, Mick?

- Not much.

Your last therapist says that you lost the

will to fight. Is that accurate?

I lost my fight when I lost my legs.

You realise you're still the same

man that won the "Golden Gloves"

at 22, Bronze Star in Afganistan?

Same man.

I'm half a man,

and half a man ain't enough to be a soldier.

That's all I've ever known.

- Alright. Let's go! We're gonna take a walk.

- No we're not!

Legs on!

You're doing pretty good for

a guy who doesn't wanna be hiking.

My dog Mustard would climb this mountain.

Great you and Mustard can go and you can make

some memories of Mt. Kaia, sounds like fun.

- Mustard's dead. Mustard got hit by a dump truck.

- Sorry.

I'm over it.

Hey. I thought you would be out of range by now?

I have around five minutes left.

- How is it?

- It's fine.

I'm sorry. I messed up.

And I'm going to talk to your

father as soon as I get back.

- Stop messing things up, ok?

- Copy that. I love you.

I love you.

- What is it Parker?

- Take a look at this.

Nice one. It's a joke right?

I don't think so.

My God!

Cal!

Cal!

Cal!

- I got some weird activity on all the radar screens.

- Weird?

Yeah, man really weird.

Oh, arg, Dr Nogrady is on the phone

for you too.

That is weird. Seriously? Dr. Nogrady.

Lead with that next time okay, Danny.

You gotta start prioritising your information.

You gotta tell me "1,2,3"

you don't start with "n". Know what i mean?

I'm not saying your a boob

but his is like boobish behavior.

Stop.

- Hi, Dr Nogrady!

- Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

- The incoming tracks.

- Correct.

- I've got 5 distinct objects

- 5 distinct objects...

that are moving in formation.

They're locked in on my signal.

They're headed straight for me.

- Correct.

- Uh maybe we should call NASA.

NASA have called us.

They're on the phone right now.

- Good morning, Mr Sabata.

- NASA?

We're tracking something splitering

off from the main group.

That's not splitting off.

That thing is breaking apart.

Has anyone called the Chinese.

Because this is no meteor...

Yes. We've checked.

It's not the Russians, it's not the Chinese

Maybe we should call the Air Force because

they might wanna fuel up their jets...

The Air Force is on the line.

It appears the event is headed your way.

Prepare yourself!

Roger that. How would you suggest

that I prepare myself sir?

Brace!

Let's all be seated.

I'm hoping somebody here can

explain this to me.

Mr. Secretary. Four of the five objects landed

in the Pacific Ocean

The fifth one appeared to have broken apart,

we're making significant contact with Hong Kong.

But other places were also affected,

Scotland, Germany, France , even Iowa.

- So what is it?

- Well sir, at this point we're working on a couple theories.

- And you are whom sir?

- I'm with NASA.

Well what is NASA present in this room for?

We're looking at the very real possibility

that this is legitimate extrateristrial contact.

It appears that it originated from Gliese solar system ,

- Home of Planet G.

- You are saying

that we sent out a signal and we got back

an alien response?

Sir, we just got word from Pearl,

They believe whatever made impact with Hong Kong

has also made impact with the Pacific Ocean.

Where in the Pacific?

Aproximately 150 miles south of where we are

right now sir.

It should be right there but we're not

seeing anything.

Get me the Samson.

Base course 2-2-0. Speed 25.

Captain. Samson has ordered us to

change course to Formation One.

Captain on the bridge.

As casualty reports come in it is still unclear

exactly what it was that hit Hong Kong.

It isn't anything from this planet.

- How do we know that?

- Because the Chinese have sampled it.

It's made of a material that doesn't

exist in the periodic table.

It's literally not of this earth!

The only element they've been able

to identify is Lawrensium.

Lawrensium?

- You gotta stop tapping!

- You're tapping, your're the loud one!

Looking at the grid patterns, it's something in the

neighborhood of solar paneling, communications paneling.

Maybe some kind of communication unit.

Communications?

Who's communicating what?

And to who?

What the heck is that?

Hey bridge starboard lookout,

We've got an unknown surface contact

bearings 2-3-2 true approximately 8,000 yards.

- Sir!

- Yeap.

- You may wanna come take a look at this.

- I am looking at it Mr. Strogo.

On the radar sir. Something very peculiar.

- That's the John Paul Jones right?

- Yes sir.

- Myoko?

- Yes sir it is.

Why don't i see...

.. see that?

Combat Captain.

I need visual on the bearing 2-3-7 on the horizon.

What do you hold a that bearing?

Birdge T.O, I've got nothing at 2-3-7.

I'm looking right at it Mr. Hopper. Find me something.

- Scope! 2-3-7. What've we got?

- Stand by.

Negative sir. Scope's clear. I got nothing.

- Taylor, did you break this son of a b*tch?

- No sir. I didn't do anything to it sir.

- You know I'll throw your ass of this ship?

- I know you will sir .

- I got something sir. On my camera.

- What is it?

I don't know?

Is this some kind of exercise.

Probably.

Unknown vessel in the vicinity of 1-5 degrees

Requesting status communication on my

vessel on VFH channel 16

and identify yourself. Over.

John Paul Jones, this Samson, Charlie Oscar.

John Paul Jones Charlie Oscar.

I'ld like you to send a team over

and take a closer look.

- No problem. We'll get a team in the water right away.

- Roger.

Tell you what boys. This is a head stomper.
