00:00team as they celebrate scientific history. The first close-up photographic transmissions of
00:06Mars from the Viking Observer spacecraft. Photos that have created something of a stir by revealing
00:11surprising geologic information. The presence of large amounts of water locked in Mars polar
00:18ice caps. Water that some speculate could have possibly sustained life on the planet.
00:24Even more controversial is one image of a land formation. A formation that looks like
00:29a sculpted human face. However, NASA officials are denying it as an indication of an alien
00:35civilization. No, it's nothing more than a trick of light and shadows. A geologic anomaly.
00:41I'm afraid the only sculptures at work are the solar winds that blow across the surface of
00:45Mars at 300 miles an hour. Ten months a year.
00:59I'm seeing a guy. How's it going out there?
01:17There's something out here. Can you repeat that, Commander Val?
01:33It's coming at me. Holy God!
01:36Oh!
01:53Oh!
01:57Oh, my God.
02:27Oh, my God.
02:57Pick up terminal sequence, MPS.
02:59You have a go to proceed.
03:00Booster hydraulic power units have started.
03:02This is shuttle launch control with T-minus 1 minute 15 seconds and counting.
03:06OTC to CDR, how do you read?
03:08Loud and clear, OVCC.
03:09Go ahead.
03:09Roger that.
03:11OVCC verified.
03:12Port setup 2-0.
03:13Copy.
03:14Setup 2-0.
03:15CDR Houston, how do you read?
03:17Loud and clear.
03:19Side hatch closed out and white room configuration is complete.
03:21Retracting orbiter arm.
03:25OMS pressure on.
03:27Cabin vent complete.
03:28Roger.
03:29We see that.
03:30All systems go for APU start.
03:31Transfer to internal power now.
03:33Pre-start complete.
03:34APU to inhibit.
03:35Oxygen vent retracted.
03:38External tank is at flight pressure.
03:40Lock your visors and initiate your O2 flow.
03:43Y'all have a good trip.
03:44Roger that.
03:47T-minus 20 seconds and counting.
03:50Go for auto sequence start.
03:52Booster hydraulic power units have started.
03:55Go for main engine start.
03:56T-minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3.
04:07Abort liftoff.
04:08Abort liftoff.
04:10System failure.
04:11Abort liftoff.
04:12Repeat.
04:12We have an abort liftoff at T-minus 3 seconds.
04:18What did the notes say?
04:20Just that they work for NASA.
04:23They wanted to talk to somebody from the FBI.
04:27Why the cloak and dagger routine?
04:29I have no idea.
04:30You think it's a crank?
04:32It's beginning to look that way.
04:37Oh, yeah.
04:38My name is Michelle Jenner.
04:50Fox Mulder.
04:50I sent you the note.
04:52Hi, Special Agent Dennis Gully.
04:53I'm sorry to have to take these precautions.
04:55I flew up from Houston this morning.
04:59I work at the space center there.
05:01In what capacity?
05:03I'm the mission control communications commander for the space shuttle program.
05:06What brings you to Washington?
05:08I have reason to believe that there may be a saboteur at work inside NASA.
05:13Do you have evidence of sabotage?
05:15I don't know.
05:15I may.
05:16Two weeks ago, a shuttle mission was scrubbed three seconds before liftoff when an auxiliary
05:23power unit valve malfunctioned.
05:25If the flight had not been aborted, there was a great chance the liquid fuel system and
05:28the orbiter would have exploded on the launch pad.
05:32This was sent to me in the mail.
05:36It's a material analysis that shows deep, grooved scoring marks inside this APU valve.
05:42Marks that could have caused a malfunction.
05:47Evidence of temporary?
05:48That's what it looks like, but...
05:51According to the person who gave me your names, you have expertise in unexplained phenomena.
05:56And what's unexplainable is how and when anybody could have done it.
05:59How do you mean?
06:00The valve is made of ferrocarbon titanium.
06:03To score, that material would take extreme temperatures, launch pad temperatures.
06:07If anyone at NASA were to take a look at that analysis, they would say that it would
06:11be impossible for anyone to do that type of damage undetected.
06:14Do you have any idea who may have sent that to you?
06:16No.
06:17No idea.
06:18But I can tell you that the official analysis of the malfunction was simple mechanical failure.
06:23Does anybody share your suspicions?
06:25If they do, they're not talking to the FBI.
06:27I believe in the space program.
06:30I believe in the people who run it, but there's another launch window tomorrow.
06:33And my reasons may sound selfish, but my fiancée is a shuttle commander on that mission.
06:45Why would somebody want to sabotage a space shuttle?
06:48Well, if you're a terrorist, there probably isn't a more potent symbol of American progress
06:54and prosperity.
06:55And if you're an opponent of big science, NASA itself represents a vast money trench that
07:00exists outside the crucible and debate of the democratic process.
07:04And of course, there are those futurists who believe the space shuttle is a rusty old bucket
07:07that should be mothballed.
07:09A dinosaur spacecraft built in the 70s by scientists setting their sights on space at an ever-declining
07:14scale.
07:15And we thought we could rest easy with the fall of the Soviet Union.
07:19Not to mention certain fringe elements who accuse our government itself of space sabotage.
07:24The failure of the Hubble telescope and the Mars observer directly connected to a conspiracy
07:28to deny us evidence.
07:30Evidence of what?
07:33Alien civilization.
07:35No, of course.
07:44Wow, look at that.
07:45Gemini 8.
07:47What?
07:48Oh, the man we're going to see?
07:49Colonel Marcus Aurelius Belt nearly died on that mission.
07:52Had to make an emergency landing right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
07:55You remember all that stuff?
07:56You never wanted to be an astronaut when you were a kid, Scully?
07:58I guess I missed that phase.
08:03Come in.
08:07Colonel Belt.
08:08I'm Special Agent Dana Scully.
08:10And this is...
08:10Colonel Belt?
08:11Fox Mulder.
08:13I'm a big fan.
08:15It's an honor to meet you.
08:18You were a big hero to me when I was a kid.
08:20I stayed up all night when I was 14 to watch your spacewalk.
08:25Well, now it's like a stroll around the block.
08:29So, how can I help you?
08:34This found its way to the FBI.
08:38Do you recognize it?
08:41Sure.
08:44It's an auxiliary power unit valve.
08:47Do you have any reason to believe that the damage done to it wasn't an effort to sabotage a space shuttle program?
08:53No.
08:54Do you have any reason to suspect sabotage at all?
08:57No reason whatsoever.
08:59And if you have any respect for this program and for the people who have devoted their lives to it,
09:04you'll be careful to whom you make those accusations.
09:06Looking at this evidence, sir, would you consider postponing the shuttle flight until a full investigation could be conducted?
09:18Look, I don't know where you got this specious artifact, but I can assure you every precaution has been taken to rectify the problem.
09:25And we've been waiting two weeks for a window to initiate this mission.
09:28We've got a payload to deliver.
09:31Colonel Belt, has an internal investigation ever been done on this matter?
09:35The part you have here has been installed, inspected, and designed by over 100 highly trained technicians.
09:42With the security measures we take, it would be virtually impossible for one man working by himself, or two or four men, to do what you're suggesting.
09:53I can assure you there isn't a person in this facility that doesn't want to see that shuttle go into space, complete its mission, and come back like Winged Victory herself.
10:03And in about 10 hours, God willing, you're going to see just that.
10:08Do you think there'd be a problem with us watching liftoff from mission control?
10:13Oh, being that you'd probably go with my head anyway.
10:16Please.
10:17Be my guest.
10:18It's an honor, sir.
10:27Didn't you want to get his autograph?
10:33Where did you say you got this?
10:35They came to us anonymously.
10:36Well, this is an APU valve, all right.
10:39This doesn't make sense.
10:41What doesn't make sense?
10:42This scoring here.
10:44This valve is made out of ferrocarbon titanium.
10:47It's...
10:47You didn't order the analysis?
10:48No, I've never seen this before.
10:50But we're an outside contract to NASA.
10:52They may have ordered it.
10:54But as a matter of course, wouldn't you order a material analysis if a part malfunctioned?
10:58Every shuttle is flown with that same APU valve.
11:00We haven't had a problem.
11:01To do an analysis and redesign would delay the program for months, not to mention the cost.
11:07Is it conceivable that in order to avoid these delays, the program is being pushed ahead without proper safety precaution?
11:13Look, there are about 17,000 things that can go wrong with the shuttle.
11:17And about 17,000 people who make sure they don't.
11:20And who makes the final determination as to its safety?
11:23We make a recommendation.
11:24But ultimately, the decision is Colonel Belt's.
11:35What do you think?
11:37I can't believe how much faith we put in machines.
11:40Think Colonel Belt knows more than he's saying?
11:42That he lied about his knowledge of a saboteur?
11:44I can't believe that Colonel Belt would endanger the lives of those astronauts knowing that something might go wrong.
11:50He's an astronaut himself.
11:53So you think this X-ray is bogus?
11:55Yes.
11:56Whatever.
11:57God, I hope so.
12:00This is shuttle launch control with T-minus one minute, 40 seconds and counting.
12:04OTC is go for over access on return.
12:06OTC, OVCC verified.
12:08Roger that.

12:29That's loud and clear.
12:30The charge, capacitor, energy, storage, banks are all at 241.
12:33OTC to CDR, how do you read?
12:35Loud and clear.
12:38CDR Houston, how do you read?

13:07Oxygen bed hood retracted.
13:09External tank is at flight pressure.
13:12Okay, CDR, lock your visors and initiate your O2 flow.
13:15Y'all have a good one.
13:17I'll do that.
13:20Go for auto sequence start.
13:22Booster hydraulic units have started.
13:25Go for main engine start.
13:26T-minus 10 and counting.
13:329, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
13:44Ignition.
13:45We have liftoff of the shuttle.
13:47Go for maximum.
13:57CDR, Houston.
13:58I bet y'all have never seen a more beautiful sight.
14:00Roger that, 10-4.
14:03Roger, Max Q.
14:04Lower throttle back.
14:06Main engine at 65%.
14:07Lower throttle up.
14:12Roger.
14:13Throttle at 110%.
14:15I have to admit I fulfilled one of my boyhood fantasies.
14:24Yeah, it ranks right up there with getting a pony and learning how to braid my own hair.
14:27Come on, Scully. You have to admit that was exciting. Mission control. Countdown.
14:32Mulder! Wait!
14:36Something's gone wrong.
14:38What happened?
14:38Something's wrong with the shuttle.
14:40We had some trouble with the solid rocket boosters, but we were able to fix it.
14:43We changed watch. I went home to try to get some sleep.
14:46I got a phone call 20 minutes ago. Communication with the shuttle had gone down.
14:49Come on, we've got to get back to Houston.
15:01They have a press blackout in effect. Chances are the media doesn't know about it.
15:06You think this is sabotage?
15:07I don't know. Things go wrong all the time.
15:10Yeah, but they usually fix it, right?
15:12Usually.
15:14She's turning.
15:14Oh, my God.
15:44I can see her.
15:52Michelle!
15:53Help!
15:54You all right?
15:57I'm stuck!
15:58When you move!
16:00Just get me out of here!
16:03I'm wedged in!
16:04You all right?
16:06I'm wedged in!
16:08Come here.
16:09Can you push with your legs?
16:10Be careful.
16:11Just get me out of here!
16:12Okay, all right.
16:14Come on.
16:15Okay.
16:16Come on.
16:17Okay.
16:22Okay.
16:26Here.
16:27Push it.
16:29Okay.
16:31Now don't try to move.
16:33Oh, I gotta get back to Houston.
16:35What happened?
16:39I don't know.
16:41Something came at me in the fog.
16:45Next thing I knew, I was upside down.
16:48Was it some kind of an animal?
16:50No.
16:51It had a face.
16:53It was...
16:53It was grotesque.
16:56I don't know.
16:57I don't know what it was.
16:57I don't know what it was.
16:58I don't know what it was.
17:02Okay.
17:02Okay.
17:03Okay.
17:04Here.
17:09That's right, sir.
17:10Charge the passenger.
17:11That's right.
17:12Orbiter, this is Houston.
17:13Do you copy?
17:14Your transmission is breaking up, Houston.
17:20What's happening?
17:22We have a mail from the OMS and RCF systems.
17:25They can't get the orbiter into attitude rotation.
17:28Temperature in the cabin is approaching 103 degrees,
17:30and they have downlink transmission problems.
17:32What happened to you?
17:32I had an accident.
17:34What's their position?
17:35Just over Eastern Africa.
17:37Try patching them into the Seychelles tracking station.
17:39All right.
17:44Hang in there, OTC.
17:45The orbiter maneuvering system is malfunctioned.
17:50Without it, they can't rotate the shuttle.
17:51They need to rotate it away from the sun to keep the orbiter cool.
17:54You've got a drop in cabin pressure, 21 kilopascals, and declining.
17:59They're going to burn up.
18:00Where's Colonel Belt?
18:01He's on his way.
18:02Damn it.
18:03What happened when they went to backup?
18:04Backup systems failed the response.
18:06And what about telemetry?
18:07Can we auto-activate their systems from down here?
18:09We cannot auto-activate.
18:10It's like someone's interfering with the telemetry.
18:12Screwing with the uplink communications from this end.
18:14Can you trace it?
18:17It'd have to be a digital processor.
18:19They'd have to be in the databanks.
18:21Where's that?
18:22Come on.
18:44I'm a federal agent.
18:59I'm a federal agent.
19:13Come on out of there.
19:18What are you doing in here?
19:19I work here.
19:20Let me see your clearance.
19:22A sensor went off.
19:23There was a malfunction in one of the telemetry processors.
19:26Did you find it?
19:26No.
19:27Did you see anybody else in here?
19:28Okay.
19:31Call security.
19:32I want a search of the premises.
19:34I don't want anybody coming in or out of this building who doesn't have proper clearance.
19:37The rotation maneuver.
19:38I'm breaking up, OTC.
19:39What's the attitude of the orbiter?
19:41The flying tail first, sir, with the belly towards the sun.
19:44The flash of operator system is working, but it's not enough to cool them down.
19:47Cabin temperature climbing to 116.
19:50Where's...
19:51Somebody's jamming our transmissions.
19:52What do you mean?
19:53Somebody or something is interfering with our ground communications and scrambling our uplink telemetry.
19:59The shuttle is not responding to override signals.
20:01I'm going to let them fly by wire.
20:05I'm cutting off telemetry.
20:06It might not work.
20:07We might lose contact for good.
20:08We have to give it a chance to work.
20:10We have to try to bring them down.
20:11We have to give them control of the ship.
20:13Take a chance, they'll be able to perform that rotation maneuver and deliver the payload.
20:17What if they can't?
20:18We could be stranding them up there.
20:29Abandoned telemetry.
20:30Go to fly-by-wire mode.
20:31Yes, uh, check, uh...
20:33Cutting off ground control of the orbiter.
20:35The astronauts will be flying the shuttle all by themselves.
20:38Is it going to work?
20:43OTC, this is Houston.
20:46How's the weather up there?
20:48Sunny and warm, Houston.
20:49What's the forecast?
20:51OTC, we're going to fly-by-wire mode.
20:54We're going to abort ground control momentarily to see if you can bring those systems back up.
21:00Roger that, Houston.
21:01And leave the driving to us.
21:03David.
21:06You take care.
21:11What just happened?
21:16They cut off contact with the shuttle.
21:18Negative, we pulled off the MPG.
21:25Negative 25545.
21:27Nothing here.
21:31Is it all charged present?
21:33Negative 25545.
21:35Forty-five seconds.
21:40If they were able to execute, they'd have done it by now.
21:45Running by.
21:49Sixty seconds.
21:54Go to reestablish uplink communication.
21:56Video signals fail now.
22:08OTC, this is Houston.
22:09Do you copy?
22:10OTC, this is Houston.
22:18Where are you?
22:22How do you do, Houston?
22:23Looks like we finally got this bird to fly right.
22:25OTC, do you hear that?
22:35Music to our ears.
22:39Cabin temperature stabilizing.
22:41OTC, this is Mark Belt, Houston.
22:45How's the crew holding on?
22:46Very looking good, sir.
22:48We all get some rest.
22:52We'll get back to work at about 0700.
22:55Roger that, Houston.
22:56Let's get to work on that telemetry problem.
23:00We got a big day out of us.
23:18Let's just let the electronic press get their sound equipment set.
23:25Oh, he said it.
23:26You want to turn it back to me, sir?
23:31I know you have a lot of questions, and I'll get to them.
23:35How did he know what he did was going to work?
23:37He didn't.
23:39They could have died up there, and there would have been nothing we could have done.
23:42They'd have been a ghost ship stuck in orbit.
23:44Why would he take that risk?
23:49Bring those men back without delivering that payload?
23:52You're talking millions of wasted dollars.
23:57That's all Congress would need to shut down NASA.
24:00As of 2200 hours, the crew has been conducting onboard tests and tasks
24:06and resting up for their first full day in space tomorrow.
24:10I'm happy to say after your beautiful night launch,
24:14the shuttle orbiter has performed
24:16magnificently.
24:26So much for your boyhood hero.
24:38Colonel Bell?
24:40Colonel Bell?
24:41Can I talk to you for a moment?
24:42You want to know why I lied to them?
24:47You're asking yourself if this means I'd lie to you.
24:56You know what it means to be an astronaut, sir?
24:59You risk your life every time you get into your spacecraft
25:01for nothing more than the good progress of mankind.
25:05You've got no argument for me, sir.
25:07You're true American heroes.
25:08We used to make headlines when we did our job right.
25:13Now they bury you in the back of the paper.
25:16Name me two astronauts in the last shuttle mission.
25:20You make the front page today only if you screw up.
25:24They only know your name if you're the unlucky SOB
25:26sitting on 500 tons of dynamite.
25:28That's what they're really waiting for.
25:33Sir, I have to ask.
25:36I'm sorry, it's my job.
25:38Do you think someone is sabotaging the shuttle?
25:42My answer to you, sir,
25:43will be to bring those men back safely to Earth.
25:46Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
26:16No.
26:18No.
26:20No.
26:20Let's go.
26:50Let's go.
27:20Let's go.
27:50Let's go.
28:20Let's go.
28:21Let's go.
28:22Let's go.
28:23Let's go.
28:24Let's go.
28:25Let's go.
28:26Let's go.
28:27Let's go.
28:28Let's go.
28:29Let's go.

29:14B Said.
29:15A little black cat song.
29:17Just...
29:18Put, Laodice?
29:20Let's go.
29:22When do we have to start holding our breath?
29:25We're working on it, OTC.
29:27I need those calculations, and I need a worst-case scenario.
29:29We don't know if one or both of the O2 tanks are damaged.
29:32Worst-case scenario! And then I want someone to find Colonel Belt.
29:35We'll find Colonel Belt.
29:37They've got 30 minutes of backup oxygen.
29:39Beyond that, it's anybody's guess.
29:42Why does she need Belt?
29:44She doesn't know how serious the leak is.
29:46It's an oxygen leak. Even I can figure out what happens when you run out of oxygen.
29:49Colonel Belt's been up there in the same situation before.
29:52He'll know better than anybody else what to do.
29:54He's got to make the decisions.
29:55Where the hell is he?
30:05Colonel Belt!
30:11Colonel Belt!
30:14I'm gonna go get security.
30:17Colonel Belt!
30:23Are you all right?
30:25Yeah, I wasn't feeling well.
30:28They need you down at Mission Control, sir.
30:30There's been another accident.
30:33OTC, is your orbital maneuvering system still operational?
30:38Roger, Houston. We're ready for re-entry. Just say the word.
30:41How bad's the leak?
30:45We have no way to determine it.
30:49OTC.
30:51What's the condensation on your cabin?
30:54The windows are getting a little steamy.
30:56Carbon dioxide buildup.
30:58Okay, OTC.
31:00Everything's gonna be fine.
31:01I want you to get in your spacesuits and depressurize your cabin.
31:06And then I want you to vent that CO2.
31:10Roger, Houston.
31:12And then what?
31:13I want you to stay in your suits.
31:15And then I want you to prepare to use your emergency oxygen systems.
31:18And then I want you to deliver your payload.
31:25Those are men up there.
31:30You, Adeline.
31:32You want to tell me how to do my job?
31:35I've been up there in that situation, Ms. General.
31:38There's more at risk here than your personal life, and if you can't accept that,
31:41or operate effectively in these circumstances,
31:47then maybe you better leave the decisions to people in this room who can.
32:03OTC.
32:05Do you copy?
32:07Roger, Houston.
32:08We're waiting on those O2 calculations.
32:11Michelle!
32:21They're gonna die.
32:23You don't know that.
32:24It's absolutely unconscionable putting that payload before those men's lives.
32:28I think she's right, Mulder.
32:30You saw him in there. He's losing it.
32:32He saved their lives earlier.
32:33Did he? Or did he put their lives in unnecessary jeopardy?
32:36If he can't deliver that payload, Congress is gonna kill the space program.
32:39Oh, and you think killing those astronauts isn't gonna have the same effect?
32:42Look, Mulder, I think somebody must have sabotaged the space shuttle because too many things have gone wrong.
32:47I think Colonel Belt knows about it, and he's known about it from the beginning.
32:49We've gotta stop him.
32:50We've gotta pull them out of orbit.
32:53He doesn't want those men to die.
32:54How do you know?
32:55I know it. I'm sure of it.
32:57He's the one that put them up there.
32:58And he may be the only person who can get them down alive.
33:00Now, how can you be certain that what he's doing isn't the right thing?
33:04That what he's doing isn't gonna save their lives?
33:06Now, I need access to your records in a hurry.
33:10I need everything on the Hubble telescope, the Mars Observer, the shuttle Challenger, and the current orbiter mission.
33:16We're talking about tens of thousands of documents.
33:18What exactly are we looking for?
33:19X-rays, diagrams, schematics, any proof that Belt knew about a sabotage.
33:25A needle in a haystack.
33:26I'm not there for Doug.
33:47Payload requirement initiated.
33:51Roger that OTC. Tracking it now.
33:56Looks good from here.
34:03Payload delivery is complete, Houston.
34:06We're awaiting your order.
34:08System check for re-entry to orbit burn.
34:14God, there's something outside the ship!
34:17There's someone outside the ship!
34:19Can you repeat that, OTC?
34:21There's some kind of ghost outside the ship!
34:26No!
34:28No!
34:30No, no, no!
34:40Mulder?
34:42I found you.
34:44This is the same diagram that was sent to Michelle.
34:48Ordered by Colonel Belt,
34:51which means he knew about the faulty valve.
34:54This is from the Challenger.
34:56It's the O-ring fitting that failed dated January 21st, 1986.
35:00That's one week before the space shuttle blew up.
35:02And the analysis was ordered by Colonel Belt.
35:04Are you saying he might have known about the Challenger defense?
35:08Something weird is going on here, Scully.
35:10Colonel Belt's collapsed.
35:12Where is he?
35:13He's in his office.
35:18He was just here.
35:24Oh, my God.
35:26What's wrong with him?
35:28Get a doctor.
35:32Help me.
35:42Help me.
35:44Help me.
35:45How can we help you, Colonel?
35:46He's having some kind of a seizure.
35:47Come on.
35:48Come on.
35:49Come on, come on.
35:50Oh, it's tearing me apart.
35:53I've got the killer.
35:54Let's see if I can get a bus.
35:56Come on.
35:57Oh, what?
35:59Help me.
36:00Help me.
36:01I'm bringing that shuttle down.
36:03Sir, we need to...
36:04No!
36:05It's out there!
36:06Come on.
36:07Let's put him down.
36:08No!
36:09Oh, my God.
36:10Oh, my God.
36:11He's so dizzy.
36:12Ah!
36:13Strap him down.
36:14There you go.
36:15Give him 10 milligrams of diazepam.
36:17No.
36:18He's gonna hurt himself, Mulder.
36:19He's trying to tell us something.
36:20Colonel Belt.
36:21Okay.
36:22Okay.
36:23Those men are up there, and they're running out of oxygen.
36:25They don't have to die.
36:27Colonel Belt, I want you to focus.
36:29You're ready.
36:30Focus your breathing.
36:32Focus your pain.
36:34Right here.
36:37Blood pressure is 174.
36:38Over 120.
36:39Finals are rising.
36:40Mulder, you're risking an aneurysm.
36:42Focus!
36:47Now you're focused.
36:49Right here.
36:51Now you're gonna save those astronauts, and you're gonna tell me how to do it.
36:57The shuttle can't survive reentry.
37:01No, he's lying.
37:02How do you know it can't survive?
37:04The fuselage.
37:05The fuselage is damaged.
37:07The silicone tiles are destroyed.
37:11How does he know?
37:12How has it been damaged?
37:14I'm responsible.
37:15Did you sabotage the shuttle?
37:18No, but I couldn't stop them.
37:21Nobody can stop them.
37:23Stop who?
37:24Stop who?
37:25Pulse is 194.
37:26You're gonna kill him, Mulder.
37:27Stop who?
37:28They don't want us to know.
37:29They don't want us to know.
37:31Who?
37:34It came to me.
37:35It lives in me.
37:37It's coming at me.
37:40It's coming at me.
37:42It's coming at me!
37:44Get me out of here!
37:47Get me out!
37:48Get me out!
37:49Get me out!
37:54Hum...
37:55Help me.
37:56It's coming back!
37:57that's the face i saw in the fog we're losing them beat them here you go
38:16clear clear they just run out of oxygen nothing they've got exactly 30 minutes left in the
38:29emergency backup system they're going to suffocate up there i've got no choice but
38:32to bring them down it's the only chance i've got again again
38:37okay we got otu standing by hold on we've got vitals we got a pulse we got to get him to a hospital
38:50otc this is houston mission control do you copy roger houston we've got some spooky stuff up here
38:57otc we're going to bring you down we want you to instigate deorbit burn and begin deceleration
39:07activating oms rockets all systems go for re-entry they're bringing the shuttle down
39:13you said the shuttle would burn up on re-entry is there anything we could do to save it
39:20change the trajectory change the trajectory to what change the re-entry trajectory to 35 degrees
39:28t-minus 35 seconds to ionosphere re-entry colonel bell i can't 25 seconds it's your only shot we'd
39:48have to change the landing site we'd have to inform them before the blackout 15 seconds to blackout
39:52i want to know what the weather conditions are in albuquerque are we go for an emergency landing
39:58weather in albuquerque landing conditions go in albuquerque a minus five seconds to blackout
40:03otc this is houston i want you to change your re-entry trajectory to 35 degrees you'll be landing
40:08at kirtland field in albuquerque do you copy minus fear re-entry temporary blackout in effect did they
40:12get that transmission two minutes to re-establish
40:23how much oxygen do they have 16 minutes
40:28otc this is houston come in otc
40:31anything what's the point of their new re-entry 500 miles west of hawaii see if hawaii can get
40:46the shuttle up on radar they made it not necessarily
40:54albuquerque do you have radar confirmation negative houston nothing on the screen
41:01what do you see this is houston come in otc
41:13otc this is houston come in otc
41:17houston this is otc you know a good place to eat in albuquerque
41:21well we'll meet for dinner
41:30otc welcome home welcome home otc you're looking real good yes
41:37the space shuttle touched down today at 10 56 central standard time
41:54the orbiter delivered its payload after just 13 orbits and returned to earth
41:59without incident we at nasa are looking forward to our next shuttle mission and to future successful
42:09explorations of space for mankind and for the future of mankind
42:24we've got to watch the air
42:43oh
42:46No water!
43:16I just heard...
43:21Something had possessed him.
43:25Something he must have seen out there in space.
43:28The doctors who examined him said he was experiencing severe dementia.
43:33I don't think he ever really knew exactly how it was working through him.
43:39I don't know if he ever knew that he was responsible for his own actions.
43:48He ordered those x-rays of the damaged parts.
43:51You saw what I saw, Scully.
43:53I think he was trying to warn her.
43:55I think that he sent Michelle those x-rays like he was trying to reach out to her without quite knowing why.
44:03As if his own instinctual impulse was to save those men.
44:08While simultaneously trying to kill them?
44:11Scully, we send those men up into space to unlock the doors of the universe.
44:17And we don't even know what's behind them.
44:19I think whatever it was, he took it with him.
44:23And in the end, that was the only way he knew how to stop it.
44:26There's an investigation, you know.
44:29They haven't ruled out foul play.
44:32He gave his own life.
44:35As an astronaut, that was something he was prepared to do.
44:42For Colonel Marcus, Aurelius Belt devoted his life to the exploration and understanding of space.
44:48Learning its mysteries and experiencing it not just for himself, but for humanity.
44:54Lord, take this man's soul and let it rise up to your heavens.
45:00Higher than he could ever go as a man.
45:02Let him know the true nature of the universe that he sought to learn.
45:06That was his atmosphere, didn't he?
45:13That was his
46:02I made this.
