Operation Avalanche Page #7

Right, right there.

What...

What are you doing?

It's just a test.

Boles, I don't take

orders from you!

- Oh, really?

- Enough, come on.

Yeah, I don't take orders

from someone who's trying

to get us killed.

Owen, Owen, Owen. Drop it.

He let them get away.

No, he didn't...

Right?

He let them get away!

That's what you did.

Oh, really?

- Yes, you missed on purpose!

- Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!

What... what are you doing?

What are you doing?

We're friends.

Who are they?

We're friends.

Who are they?

Is it brackett? The CIA?

Why don't you tell him

about how you've been

calling brackett every day,

trying to get Johnson

thrown off the mission.

Tell him that!

What are you talking about?

Hey, ask your friend.

Okay, hold on.

Tell him. Tell him.

We choose to go to the moon.

We choose to go to the moon.

We choose to go to the moon

in this decade

and do the other things.

Not because they are easy,

but because they are hard.

Because that goal will serve

to organize and measure

the best

of our energies and skills.

Because that challenge is one

that we're willing to accept.

One we are unwilling

to postpone, and one we intend

to win, and the others, too.

We shall send to the moon,

240,000 miles away

from the control station

in Houston,

a giant rocket,

more than 300 feet tall,

the length of

this football field,

made of new metal alloys,

some of which have not

yet been invented,

capable of standing

heat and stresses

several times more

than have ever

been experienced,

on an untried mission

to an unknown celestial body,

and then return it

safely to earth,

re-entering the atmosphere

at speeds of over

25,000 miles per hour,

and do all this...

And do all this

and do it right,

and do it first,

before this decade is out,

then we must be bold.

And therefore,

as we set sail,

we ask god's blessing

on the most hazardous

and dangerous

and greatest adventure

on which man

has ever embarked.

Thank you.

So this is

the only copy?

Yeah. So, now what?

We just bring it

to brackett?

Oh, I'll take it to brackett.

You stay here and clean up.

Clean up what?

Clean up the studio.

Destroy everything.

What if we...

What if we need

that stuff?

We won't.

Good work.

Thanks.

I'll see you soon.

- Hey, boles.

- Lhotsky wasn't the mole, was he?

What are

you talking about?

Yeah, I don't...

I don't know.

I've been working on

this too long.

I'm sorry.

Well, get some rest.

I'll see you soon.

Bye, buddy.

He's gonna spot one

of our guys pretending to be

a rocket scientist instantly.

We need to send people

who are gonna look like they

have no idea what's going on.

They can't make it

to the moon.

I'm gonna tell you

what they said.

...an ethical problem

with this at all?

He let them get away!

That's what you did.

Oh, really?

Yes, you missed

on purpose!

Hey whoa, whoa, whoa!

What... what are you doing?

What are you doing?

We're friends!

- Who are they?

- We're friends.

What, you think

that's your friend?

Who, brackett?

The CIA?

Why don't you tell

him about how...

Hey, Julie.

Can I borrow your husband?

He what?

Simon's asleep. Inside.

I can go inside

so you guys can talk.

You can stay outside.

No, I don't need to talk.

I wanna know if, um...

If you wanna... we're...

We're going to get rid of

the stuff from work.

You can go

if you want.

No, I'm going to

stay here.

How's Simon?

Are you guys excited

about the big launch?

Okay.

Have a good afternoon.

Thanks. You, too.

I'll see you soon, okay?

Yeah, bye.

Good morning.

It's t-minus one hour,

29 minutes and 53 seconds

and counting.

In just an hour and a half,

if all goes well,

Apollo eleven astronauts,

Armstrong,

aldrin and Collins

are to lift off

from pad 39-a out there

on the voyage

man always has

dreamed about.

Next stop for them,

the moon.

And we are all about

to witness the fulfillment

of that promise

that president Kennedy made

at rice university stadium

in Texas,

on September 12, 1962.

We passed

10,000 odd cars

parked around

the gate-1 area at 4:00 A.M.

when we got here.

Cars from every state,

with little kids staring

wide-eyed,

and we saw

teenagers with telescopes.

It was a very moving scene

for me, because

Americans cared then,

I think, and they care now.

And it says,

"good luck, Apollo 11"

engraved in the sand.

All going

very smoothly here

with the count.

T-minus 60 seconds

and counting.

We've passed t-minus 60.

Power transfer is complete.

Twelve, eleven,

ten, nine...

Ignition sequence starts.

Six, five, four,

three, two, one.

And good

afternoon from abc space

headquarters in New York.

With me is our science editor,

Jules bergman and we are

on the air today

to bring you a complete report

on some very, very

important maneuvers

to be performed

by Apollo 11.

Basically a position

to begin the process...

Hello?

Matt?

Are you...

Are you seeing this

right now?

- Matt, they're not dead.

- The CIA lied to us.

Wait, what?

The men following

us at the studio

are outside my house.

Are you sure?

Yes, meet me

at your motel.

What the hell?

Owen?

Hello?

Who's there?

Oh, sh*t.

Okay, okay, okay.

Uh... uh...

Where's the other car?

Where's the...

Um, um, out back.

Out back.

Okay, stand back.

Sorry.

There is a delirium

of enthusiasm today...

Come on.

Come on, come on.

Come on, Owen.

Come on!

Matt!

What?

There's a car!

Jared, run!

Sh*t.

Go, go, go.

Andy, hold on.

F***.

They're right behind us.

They're right behind us.

Get their faces!

Get their faces, Andy!

Get their faces!

This is f***ing crazy!

Oh, god!

Oh, Christ!

He's got a gun!

What?

- He's got a f***ing gun.

- Okay, duck, duck, duck!

Sh*t.

What's happening?

Oh, f***. F***!

Okay, okay.

Get out of here.

Get out of here.

I'm trying.

Get out of here.

Dude, they're

right in front of us.

Yeah, I know.

They're gonna ram us,

they're gonna ram us!

Oh!

Owen!

Owen!

Owen!

Owen!

Owen!

So they're not

all labeled, right?

It goes '67, '68, '69.

But not everything's...

Not everything's marked.

Well, you'll figure it out.

Hey.

Okay, man.

As soon as I know

where we're going,

I'll call you.

Yeah.

Good evening.

Hello, there's a man

at the end of the bar

wearing glasses.

Could you please give

the phone to him?

Telephone.

Hello?

You're

a real piece of sh*t,

you know that?

We're looking for you.

Where you been?

Yeah, I'll tell you what,

let's make a trade.

Okay.

My location for

the names of the agents

on your kill team.

We don't have

any kill team.

Yeah, well, who killed Owen

and hung him in his garage?

Okay.

Come down to the office.

We'll discuss it.

Yeah, I'll come in.

No, I'll tell you

what's gonna happen.

I have a film

of everything we did.

I have proof that the CIA

conspired to fake

the moon landing

and that Owen Williams

is the one that everybody is

about to see walk on the moon.

And that you killed him
