- I'm so sorry.

- Becareful!

- Whoa!

Wow.

What happened here?

They were drilling.

For what?

Man, I don't know.

When did the drilling stop?

When you blew up the mother ship.

And uh. Right now for us,

anyway to get up there?

You're not afraid of heights,

are you?

Oh yes, I do.

Oh my god.

That's the same pattern.

So the signal was

coming from this ship.

20 years ago, when we

destroyed the mother ship,

we detected a burst in

an X-band frequency

directed towards deep space.

Oh.

The distress call.

Looks like someone picked up

the phone and answered.

I'm going crazy up here,

I can't take it anymore.

Tell me how much

you miss me.

Actually the chief of staff just

got a really handsome intern.

Not quite as tall as you,

but has great dimples,

and plays a cello.

- You know how much I miss you.

- You know what?

I'm going to steal a Tug and

come back to see you right now.

No, please don't.

Because the last time you did that,

they added a month

to your tour.

Come on. Tell me that wasn't

the best 2 minutes of your life.

Yes.

Yes.

But I would like my fiance

back permanently.

What was that?

We've been getting these power

surges for the last couple of days.

You take a look at the

houses I send you?

No, I haven't yet.

I just um...

It's okay.

There's no rush.

I saw Dylan at the

White House today.

I just think you two need

to have a conversation.

So he's shaking hands with the president

and I'm stuck on the moon.

Ha ha.

It must be nice.

You nearly killed him, remember.

Give him a little credit, Jake.

P?

CONNECTION LOS QQ

Thank you for using QQ.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Please welcome the

International Legacy Squadron.

Captain Hiller

Considering he died during a test flight,

how do you feel taking off for the moon

from a hanger named

after your father.

He would have love it.

It's too bad he's

not here to see it.

Captain Lao, China has been integral

to the Earth Space Defense program,

is there anything you want to

say to the folks back home?

To be on the same team that

represents the unity of the world...

I didn't want to text you,

I wanted to hear your voice.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

My boy, making a name for himself.

Are you going

to be okay, Mom?

Just tell me you'll

be careful up there.

Moon Base, this is Legacy Squadron.

We're on the final approach,

requesting permission to land.

Permission granted.

Welcome to the moon, Captain.

Just keep it cool.

Just don't hit him.

It's easy.

- Lieutenant Lao.

- Lieutenant, over here

Rain.

Rain.

Do I get an autograph too?

Back to work.

Uncle Jiang!

You look more and more

like your mother.

Every girl would like to hear that.

Mengniu moon milk.

I have been looking

all over for you.

- I've got good news.

- Yeah.

The pilot the China sent

is my future wife

and I mean it.

I think my heart exploded.

It's like our souls

were communi...

He just walked in, didn't he?

Yeah, he did.

Okay.

You're not gonna finish this?

You mind moving?

We both know what happens

when you get in my way.

I've waited a long

time to do that.

Morrison.

What's going on here?

I asked you a QUESTION.

Yes. Uh.

Sir, the floor is very slippery.

Becareful if I were you.

Great to see you, Dylan.

I was so close to

punching him back.

I think you made

the right choice.

You did almost kill him, but...

that's why they have ejection seats.

No, I went too far.

It's the only way I thought

I could... stand out.

It was never going to be you

leading that squadron.

That's not the way

the world works.

You know he's royalty.

Bridges to office.

You know the last thing

I said to my parents was

I hated them.

The only reason I'm still alive

is they dropped me off

at that stupid camp.

Well, I'm glad they did.

Because you're the

only family I got.

Alright, final training time.

Winner leads the Legacy Squadron.

Why don't you just

give up, Morrison?

Second place would just

have to be good enough.

Yeah.

We'll see about that, Captain Hiller.

Passing on the Left!

Hey, there's not enough room!

Damn it, Jake.

You're going to clip my wing.

Control, I'm going down.

Ejecting!

Ejecting!

Dr. O'Brian, please report

to the surgical theater.

Good morning, Brakish.

How are we today?

I brought you a new one.

Dactylorhiza maculata, or

the spotted orchid.

And when it fully blooms,

the lavender...

is going to take

your breath away.

Can you believe it?

You've been in a coma

for 7300 days.

I made you a gift.

I took a knitting class.

Is it itchy?

You tell me if it was itchy,

I'll...

Ah!

Okay.

You're awake.

Did...

Did we win?

Anne!

Bring in the medical team, he's awake!

Where's-Where's my glasses?

I can't see.

They're right here.

They're right here.

How long was I out?

A long time, baby.

A long time.

Yeah, I can see that.

Babe.

You got a bit fat.

And really bald.

You still look great.

This just came in from Hubble.

There's some kind of force

pulling in Saturn's rings.

Holy Christ.

What about our defense base there?

It's gone.

It's not just the base, it's like

the whole moon just vanished.

- Up the alert level to red.

- Right away.

Hey, honey.

Listen, I want you to

pack up your stuff

and go to your

sister's right now.

Well, but this symbol comes out more

often than anything I've encountered.

Look.

Look at the similarities.

How can you not

see the relevance.

No, it's not that

I don't see it.

I just feel that right now

there are more pressing matters

than analyzing doodles.

You know, like a giant

space ship turning back on.

- Sir.

- Yeah.

- We lost all contact with Saturn.

- What?

- We need to notify the President.

- Already tried.

Tanner said he'll get back

to us after the press talk.

Bypass Tanner, hurry.

And you talk to Lanford now.

- Right. Right. Right.

- Thank you.

Uh, at least your father

spared the elephants.

Good for him.

Look.

The Roswell crash, in '47.

The farmer who made contact

drew the same circle.

And everytime I interviewed one of

my patients and showed them this.

- They all expressed the same emotion.

- Mm-Hm.

Fear.

And I don't think

it's a circle.

The night the ship turned on.

I experienced the strongest

vision I've ever had.

And I drew this.

LIFE AFTER CONTACT.

COLLECTED CASE STUDIES.

ALIEN MIND:

That's incredible.

How did you decipher

so much of their language?

They were hunting us.

We have to learn

how to hunt them.

You... beautiful.

- That means you're beautiful.

- Oh. Thanks, man.

Not you.

I mean...

You have to remove

the sub-sonic inlets

before you can reconfigure the

thermalize plasma cartridges.

That's great. Why don't you put

that thing down and help me?

Okay. Try to have a good

grasp of today's situation.

There she is.

Ah.

- It's happening.

- God damn it.

The chemical reaction,

the pheromones.

All the blood of my body

is rushing to my head.

Your head, huh.

- I'm going to go introduce myself.

- Yeah, no problem.
