00:
24:56,246 -- 00:24:58,420

W-We didn't plan

for something like this.

515

00:
25:02,172 -- 00:25:03,292

FRANK:
Okay.

516

00:
25:04,652 -- 00:25:05,571

Well, we were coming up

517

00:
25:05,606 -- 00:25:08,187

on the go/no go

decision point anyway.

518

00:
25:08,222 -- 00:25:09,970

All this means

is that we're facing

519

00:
25:10,005 -- 00:25:11,173

a little sooner

than we anticipated.

520

00:
25:11,241 -- 00:25:12,399

- SUE:
I say go.

- Thank you.

521

00:
25:12,408 -- 00:25:14,207

Dementia,

hallucinations, paranoia--

522

00:
25:14,275 -- 00:25:15,544

Are we all getting a vote?

523

00:
25:15,579 -- 00:25:17,641

- How are we supposed to...

- Wait, are we all getting a vote?

524

00:
25:17,729 -- 00:25:19,510

[overlapping shouting]

525

00:
25:19,545 -- 00:25:20,508

Kids!

526

00:
25:20,711 -- 00:25:22,099

No one's voting.

527

00:
25:22,512 -- 00:25:24,537

This isn't a democracy.

528

00:
25:25,213 -- 00:25:26,638

I'll make the final decision

529

00:
25:26,668 -- 00:25:29,148

after hearing the doctor's

personal and medical assessment.

530

00:
25:29,183 -- 00:25:32,431

Nor is anyone else gonna be

briefing mission control

531

00:
25:32,466 -- 00:25:34,314

or the consortium

about this situation.

532

00:
25:34,382 -- 00:25:35,693

You got that, Roger?

533

00:
25:41,986 -- 00:25:44,793

And by the way,

this isn't the only safety issue

534

00:
25:44,828 -- 00:25:46,041

we're facing right now.

535

00:
25:46,153 -- 00:25:48,322

Jean's got a list

as long as my arm,

536

00:
25:48,357 -- 00:25:50,305

any one of which

can screw up this mission.

537

00:
25:50,456 -- 00:25:54,370

So if you want to be productive,

start dealing with them.

538

00:
25:55,774 -- 00:25:58,058

ROGER:

iI'm just playing a role./i

539

00:
25:58,126 -- 00:26:00,201

We all play roles

all the time.

540

00:
26:00,236 -- 00:26:01,289

We become more...

541

00:
26:01,994 -- 00:26:04,929

deeply entrenched in them

in moments of crisis.

542

00:
26:04,964 -- 00:26:07,497

I think, from an audience

perspective, it's very exciting.

543

00:
26:07,532 -- 00:26:10,563

I think it's as real

as it could possibly be,

544

00:
26:10,926 -- 00:26:11,788

and...

545

00:
26:12,965 -- 00:26:15,067

It makes

very good television.

546

00:
26:37,610 -- 00:26:40,271

It's always

so damn restful here.

547

00:
26:40,311 -- 00:26:41,824

Mm, not always.

548

00:
26:47,280 -- 00:26:49,168

Oh, there are storms

sometimes.

549

00:
26:49,914 -- 00:26:52,146

The last one almost took out

the supports under this balcony.

550

00:
26:52,214 -- 00:26:54,575

I'm in the mood

for a storm right about now.

551

00:
26:54,982 -- 00:26:57,416

That could be arranged.

552

00:
26:58,317 -- 00:26:59,524

Talk to me.

553

00:
26:59,918 -- 00:27:01,518

You just gonna use

this Meyer thing

554

00:
27:01,553 -- 00:27:03,152

as an excuse

to dump the whole mission?

555

00:
27:03,187 -- 00:27:04,257

Excuse?

556

00:
27:04,292 -- 00:27:05,174

I'm not saying

557

00:
27:05,194 -- 00:27:07,388

that we've not had

an impressive array of setbacks,

558

00:
27:07,423 -- 00:27:11,113

but it almost seems

559

00:
27:11,148 -- 00:27:13,288

as though you've been looking

for a reason to abort.

560

00:
27:13,323 -- 00:27:14,924

If we're gonna go forward

with this thing,

561

00:
27:14,991 -- 00:27:17,474

we've got to be realistic

about the problems we're facing.

562

00:
27:17,509 -- 00:27:18,427

I mean, come on.

563

00:
27:18,803 -- 00:27:20,459

Meyer has got Parkinson's.

564

00:
27:20,494 -- 00:27:22,044

Yeah, I was at the briefing.

565

00:
27:22,095 -- 00:27:23,096

What's going on...

566

00:
27:23,762 -- 00:27:24,685

really?

567

00:
27:25,155 -- 00:27:26,429

It's not the--

568

00:
27:27,490 -- 00:27:29,515

The facts of what they told us,

so much...

569

00:
27:29,550 -- 00:27:30,908

It's--It's the timing.

570

00:
27:31,326 -- 00:27:34,389

I mean,

environmental disaster, okay?

571

00:
27:34,424 -- 00:27:36,395

How long have we been waiting

for that shoe to drop?

572

00:
27:36,561 -- 00:27:39,133

But for it to go

so wrong so fast,

573

00:
27:39,168 -- 00:27:41,414

it's a lot to swallow.

574

00:
27:41,663 -- 00:27:43,570

And the closer

we get to go/no go,

575

00:
27:43,605 -- 00:27:44,853

the tougher it gets.

576

00:
27:45,676 -- 00:27:47,637

You're implying

that they're lying to us.

577

00:
27:48,033 -- 00:27:51,534

- This is a $200-billion project.

- Yeah.

578

00:
27:51,568 -- 00:27:53,443

They're not gonna start

playing games.

579

00:
27:53,478 -- 00:27:55,240

Maybe it's some kind of test.

580

00:
27:55,769 -- 00:27:57,368

- [chuckles] Of what?

- Of me.

581

00:
28:04,005 -- 00:28:06,005

I've been getting this feeling

for a while now

582

00:
28:06,073 -- 00:28:08,071

that mission control

doesn't exactly have

583

00:
28:08,106 -- 00:28:09,849

the greatest faith

in their commander.

584

00:
28:10,345 -- 00:28:11,493

Come on.

585

00:
28:11,571 -- 00:28:13,684

It's not said out loud

on an open channel.

586

00:
28:13,719 -- 00:28:15,518

But reading

between the lines,

587

00:
28:16,307 -- 00:28:18,240

I'm not so sure they wouldn't

rather see someone else

588

00:
28:18,275 -- 00:28:19,338

in command up here.

589

00:
28:21,375 -- 00:28:22,351

Hey...

590

00:
28:24,277 -- 00:28:26,746

Look me in the eye and tell me

that you believe that.

591

00:
28:29,745 -- 00:28:31,375

I don't know

what I believe.

592

00:
28:33,081 -- 00:28:33,826

Maybe you're right.

593

00:
28:33,861 -- 00:28:35,343

- Maybe I'm over-thinking this.

- Yeah.

594

00:
28:35,378 -- 00:28:36,070

But I...

595

00:
28:36,114 -- 00:28:37,850

I've got this feeling

in my gut.

596

00:
28:37,886 -- 00:28:38,746

It just doesn't add up.

597

00:
28:38,781 -- 00:28:41,364

I know there's something

they're not telling us.

598

00:
28:41,384 -- 00:28:43,235

I--I know that--

599

00:
28:44,218 -- 00:28:45,430

Oh.

600

00:
28:45,465 -- 00:28:46,836

I'm sorry.

Do--Do go on.

601

00:
28:52,272 -- 00:28:53,787

You should come

to my place some time.

602

00:
28:53,822 -- 00:28:55,658

You'd like it--

Open air, interesting people.

603

00:
28:55,693 -- 00:28:58,079

Yeah,

you know what, Frank?

604

00:
28:58,080 -- 00:28:58,841

[sighs]

605

00:
28:58,876 -- 00:28:59,997

I'm bored.

606

00:
29:00,781 -- 00:29:02,013

Come and play with me.

607

00:
29:06,394 -- 00:29:10,952

[mellow music]

608

00:
29:23,322 -- 00:29:27,366

[breathing heavily]

609

00:
29:33,105 -- 00:29:35,363

[ringing]

610

00:
29:37,607 -- 00:29:39,857

You got to be kidding me.

Who's calling you here?

611

00:
29:40,363 -- 00:29:41,764

I didn't program it.

612

00:
29:42,209 -- 00:29:45,879

[breathing heavily]

613

00:
29:45,914 -- 00:29:47,870

[ringing continues]

614

00:
29:47,905 -- 00:29:49,123

Are you gonna answer it?

615

00:
29:55,558 -- 00:29:56,264

Hello?

616

00:
29:56,304 -- 00:29:58,278

MAN:
iI'm very disappointed

in you, Rika./i

617
