Go to high ground.

When I was 11 , I took

$32 from your wallet.

When you were a baby...

I once dropped you

on your head.

When you came to the studio

and you brought those pictures,

I lied when I said

I didn't remember.

I remember everything.

I remember that we

were right over there,

and that's when Mom got

that picture of the house.

It was a perfect, happy day.

I came down here

to let you know that.

Thank you.

I've missed you since then.

I missed you, too.

Biederman.

Daddy.

Hold on!

This is Messiah.

We're ready to begin our run.

Are our families there yet?

They're on their way,

Messiah.

Disengage auto path.

Here we go.

We're at perigee.

Wolf contact in 4 minutes, 45 seconds.

We'll never be closer to home

than we are right now.

Come on!

Messiah, we got some people here

that want to talk to you.

Wendy, honey...

you promise me you'll keep

doing your church thing,

and I'll be there

right next to you,

haunting you.

You better come back

and haunt me.

I love you.

There's Mommy.

Hello, Mommy.

Hey, you take care of Daddy for me, OK?

She does a good job.

- She misses Mommy.

- I miss you

I love you, Mommy.

I love you. Very, very much.

David.

You know what I want to say.

I know.

Come on!

Wolf contact in 2 minutes, 30 seconds.

Oren, Mariette's up at

your folks' place in Utah.

We sent a plane,

but she isn't here yet.

Fish, your sons are

both on active duty.

We tried to get them back,

but we couldn't

get them here on time.

I'm sorry.

Well, Mitch, uh...

I want to say

goodbye to Mary.

I want to tell her I love her...

and that ever since we've been apart,

every day, I think about her.

Mary, I'm coming home.

Coming up on target, 625 miles.

Range 600 miles.

Wait! Oh, God, wait!

Wait!

I'm coming!

Oren? Oren, are you there?

Mariette? I'm here.

I can hear you.

Hi, sweetie.

This is your father.

His name is Oren.

I named him after you.

Hello, Oren.

Show him what you brought him.

He's holding up a little rocket.

That's a mighty powerful

rocket you got there.

He's laughing.

I can hear him. I know.

Mariette...

I'm hugging you both right now.

I'm holding you.

Prepare to synchronize the nukes.

It's been a pleasure

serving with you, Commander.

The honor's all mine, Andy.

Be good, Oren.

Be good.

We watched as the bombs

shattered the second comet

into a million of pieces

of ice and rock

that burned harmlessly

in our atmosphere

and lit up the sky for an hour.

Still, we were left with

the devastation of the first.

The waters reached as far inland as

the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys.

It washed away farms and towns...

forests and skyscrapers.

But the water receded.

The wave hit Europe and Africa, too.

Millions were lost.

Countless more left homeless.

But the waters receded.

Cities fall...

but they are rebuilt.

And heroes die...

but they are remembered.

We honor them with every brick we lay...

with every field we sow...

with every child we comfort

and then teach to rejoice

in what we have been regiven.

Our planet.

Our home.

So now...

Let us begin.
