"For we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance." "The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds." "So it is not surprising that some would have us stay where we are a little longer." "To rest, to wait." "But this city of Houston, this state of Texas, this country of the United States was not built by those who waited and rested and wished to look behind them." "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." "[Matt Johnson] With this one speech," "John F. Kennedy escalated our Cold War with the Soviet Union to outer space." "Now, if we do not land a man on the Moon by 1969, we will have broken JFK's promise." "And in the eyes of the world, the Soviet Union will win the Cold War." "To make matters even more difficult, the CIA has discovered a leak coming out of the space program." "Top secret American research is showing up in Soviet briefings, which means the KGB has implanted a mole inside NASA." "If the Russians are able to steal our technology, they could beat us to the Moon, just as they beat us into space with the Sputnik satellite in 1957." "The director of NASA, James Webb, denies the presence of this mole, which means the CIA must move in a team undercover." "That's where we come in." "Allow me to introduce Owen Williams, and myself, Matt Johnson." "We joined the CIA through the Bright Recruits program and have been working together ever since." "Along with our camera team, we make up the CIA's AV Department." "Currently, we are finishing Operation Deep Red:" "The probe into film director Stanley Kubrick." "But this mission is not using us to our full potential." "We are asking to be transferred off of Operation Deep Red, and on to Operation Zipper:" "The mission into NASA to find the mole." "Because of our filmmaking background, we would make..." "[Boles] Okay, stop." " [film reel stopping]" " Stop." "What is this supposed to be?" "Okay." "It's a" " It's a pitch film." "It" " So" " It's for Operation Zipper." "I think" "Operation Zipper's already been assigned." "We know it has." "I think the agency is making a mistake with sending a scientist into NASA." "Well, your opinion means nothing." "Yeah, okay." "Just-- just-- If you watch the rest of this film," " you'll see..." " I've seen enough." "But we have an amazing plan for finding the spy." "I'm sure you do." "Boles, we worked hard on this." "You're seriously not going to watch the rest?" " No." " Can we show it to Brackett?" "No." " [door closes]" " Okay." "This was a long shot." "We've only been here for one year." "We'll get on missions like this in the future." "I thought this was going to work." "You knew..." "You knew that it wasn't a great chance." "Yeah, you should" "Jared, you should have cut when you saw it wasn't going good." "You're supposed to be filming so that..." "[Jared] I didn't even notice." " Yeah." " Hey." "Cut." "Okay, I got an idea." "We need to send someone who will look like they have no idea what's going on." "Us, as a documentary film crew." " We can pretend that" " Okay." " we are from the National Education..." " We have to go." "We got to go." "Is this a good idea?" " Andy?" " It's a good" " Hey." "It's a good idea." " Are you ready?" " What if they fire us?" "What's your first line?" "Oh, uh... "your plan is to send--" Okay, I'm fine." " Okay." "Let's go." " [both chuckling]" "[Brackett] Everyone here?" "Boles." " Carry on." " Thank you." "Good morning, everyone." " [reel rolling] - [music playing] [indistinct talking]" "Hello, my name is Special Agent Matt Johnson, and what you're about to watch is a film detailing the connections between Stanley Kubrick and the film Dr. Strangelove or:" "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." "Conclusion:" "Stanley Kubrick is not a spy." "[sighs]" " Thank you." " [reel stops]" "Are there any questions?" "[distant coughing]" "That covers it." "Uh, what's next?" "[Matt] Actually, Director Brackett, I'd like to make a pitch for major research to be moved onto Operation Zipper next." "[Boles] What the hell are you doing?" "You guys are trying to put a... field agent inside NASA posing as a scientist, and..." "Agent Williams and I don't think it will work." "This mole, if he's there, could have been at NASA since the early '60s." "He's going to spot one of our guys pretending to be a rocket scientist instantly." "We need to send people who are going to look like they have no idea what's going on." "Us, as a documentary film crew." "We can pretend that we're from the National Education Television Network, filming the definitive Apollo documentary." "We're there to chart the race to the Moon." "Smart idea." "But no Soviet mole's gonna let anyone openly film 'em." "Well, Director Brackett, we're filming you right now through the window."

"[Matt] And what is it you do here at NASA?" "Huh." "Uh... [door creaking]" "[Matt whispering] Okay." "Shut the door." "Guys, can we get a shot of just the lounge being busy?" "I know" " I know you're all working, but if you want to just..." "Busy, like there's some activity." " Or-- or just do whatever feels natural." " [chuckling]" "[Matt] And action."

"Mr. Webb, tell me, what does it mean when people say the Russians are ahead of us in the space race?" "Well, I think it means that the job of landing something on the Moon where there's no atmosphere, and using a rocket to slow it up, and having the equipment still work is a very difficult job." "Uh, I think it means the Russians are trying, just like we are." " And each of us..." " Where's this guy's office?"

"Test, test, test, test..." "[Webb on recording] ...then you get to talk about how to go forward to do it." "Uh, I am not much interested, and I don't think it's very realistic to talk about technological interchange, and this kind of thing." "You first gotta get on the basis" " where-- where-- - [shuts off recording]" "Okay, so..." "His phone rings in his office, and this phone rings at the same time." "As long as we're rolling when he picks up, we get everything." "[Owen on phone] I found us a house." "It's beautiful, it's red, it has a nursery and a yard." "You'll love it."

" And you know that..." " [Webb] Did you talk to TRW?" " [Owen] Who's the other voice?" " [Matt] I don't know." "[man]...about their fuels." "So we're in trouble." "[Webb] Grumman has fucked us." "They built a lander that can't land." "So, we are going back for another prototype..." "With whom?" "This is setting us back four years." "Well, I agree." "This is going to have to change." "Change?" "We can't land on the Moon." "Unless by some miracle Braun finds lighter fuel," " we aren't touching down for five years." " Okay..." "We're just going to be circling forever up there." "So what are we telling everyone?" " Nothing." "We don't tell anyone-- - [recording stops] [sighs]" "[Matt] Do you understand what this means?" "NASA can't do it." "They can't land man and come back." "Have you called Brackett?" "Of course not!" "I needed to tell you guys first." "We need to tell Brackett." "We need to tell Brackett right away." "This is something you report right away." "We need help." " We have to..." " Relax, it's okay." "Yes." "Yes." " And we need..." " I'll tell you what to do, okay?" "I'm gonna tell you what to do." "Find out who that other guy on that phone was, okay?" "Because, if we found this out in a month, you better fucking believe that the mole can do the same thing." "And now all of a sudden the Russians know we can't make it to the Moon, then what the fuck are we going to do?" "Okay." "Okay." "Okay." "You call Langley." "It's ringing." "[line ringing]" "You think I'll get to talk to the President?" "No." "That's not unrealistic." "I could." "He could be like, "We need to get this right to the President."" "I'll be like, "All right." "Give me his home phone, sir." "I'll..." [laughs]" " [all laughing] - [line continues ringing]" "[Brackett on phone] Hello?" "Director Brackett, it's Agent Johnson calling from Houston." "We have big news." "What's that?" "They can't make it to the Moon." "We intercepted a call from Jim Webb." "From what I understand, they can circle the Moon, but they can't actually land." "They-- they don't have the technology to do it." "They're saying 1971 at the earliest." "[Brackett sighs] Damn it." "Give me a minute." "Okay, who else knows about this?" "Uh, nobody, from-- from-- from what we can tell." "They're talking about it on the phone like it was a big secret, like they've never talked about it before." "Okay, good." "Another unit is going to take over Zipper." "Get your team out of there." "Uh..." "You think maybe that's a bit, uh, shortsighted in a way, seeing as we're here undercover now?" "What" " Why?" "Don't question my orders, kid." "I'm not" " I don't mean to question it." "I" "I just" " I simply think that we're here and I" " We have to figure out a response to this," " somehow, and you've got us..." " [line disconnects] [dial tone]" "We're going home." "[sighs]" "[sighs]" "♪♪" "[music continues]" "[Matt] If either of us are talking, shoot." "I don't care how much film you burn, it doesn't matter." "Okay?" "It's going to save us." "[Owen] What are we doing in here?" "Sit down, just listen to this, okay?" "Well..." " Hold on a sec..." " Did you call Brackett last night?" " Yes, all right?" " What did he say?" "Okay, turn this on." "What did they say?" "I'm gonna tell you what they said." " [Owen] Okay, it's on." " [beeping]" "Okay, you hear that?" " Yeah." " [beeping continues]" " You recognize it?" " Yeah." "It's Sputnik." "[stammers] You know what?" "You're ahead of me." "Okay, yeah." "It's Sputnik." "How do you know it's Sputnik?" "Can you..." "Did you sleep here last night?" "[Matt] That's not plugged into anything." "It's-- it's just a dial on the other side." "It's not actually Sputnik." "It's just making you think that it is." "It's just a random beeping." "And because you think that that's supposed to be Sputnik, that's why you believe it's Sputnik." "This is what we are going to do with the Moon." "I called Brackett, told him that they can't make it for '69." "He said, "Okay, well, you've got to figure out a way to fix it."" "And I said, "We can do it on our own." ""We can make a film that shows us going to the Moon without actually doing it."" "We know that they can make it up there." "We're not" " We're faking the last little piece." "The tiny" " The tiny thing they can't do:" "Land and come back." "The thing JFK said we'd do." "That's the only part." "Everything else is real, do you understand?" "Yeah, I understand what you're saying and I understand that it sounds like" "Read this, it's from Brackett." " He sent a briefing?" " Yes." "If we can pull this off, we are going to look like geniuses." "Four guys inside of NASA figure out [whispering] how to make it look like we went to the Moon." "We did it." "That's crazy!" "This is exactly what we've been waiting for." "It literally fell on our lap." "We could run our own department after something like this." "♪♪" "[Owen] Is there more information coming?" "[Matt] About what?" "Well, the objectives and the budget." "Why?" "This doesn't seem incomplete to you?" "Incomplete?" "How?" "What do you mean?" "Well, I" " Okay..." "You know what?" "Don't-- don't worry about this." "They obviously told us exactly what they want us to hear, so our job is to film a test, and that's it." "Come on." "[Owen] Does it" " You don't have an ethical problem with this at all?" "In what way?" "In that this is lying." "You know what?" "This is like one of those good lies, like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny." "[straining] A lot of kids get really mad about those." "[grunts] [both laugh]" "So we're shooting this at 48 frames a second, so you're going to have to move like..." "like you're being lifted up." " Okay?" "Like this..." " This thing weighs about 100 pounds." "Well, just try it." "Try leaping a bit." "Like this." "Yeah, good." "Go!" "Action!" "Action!" "[Jared] More that way." "[Matt] More towards me a bit." "[Jared] Walk off that way." "[Matt] Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "Stop." "[panting]" "We should be doing this at night." "Can-- can the light move a little bit to the left?" "[Owen] I'm being devoured and I'm cookin'." "No, that's too far." "That's too far." "Back over this way." "Back to your right." " It doesn't matter..." " Stop!" "Stop!" "Okay, now a bit to your left." "How much does the light drop off?" "Are you not getting destroyed by mosquitoes?" "Okay, I am, but I'm trying to get this right." "Hold on." "What else is in the frame?" "[Jared] Uh, I see some logs in the background." "Yeah, I see it, too." "Okay, I'm getting it." "[Owen] That's what you're..." "Please, let's just roll." "It is fine, it's fine." "[Matt] It's not a log, it's a rock!" "[Jared] It's okay, we'll frame it out." " I'm going to use it!" " Okay!" "I'm going to put it in the frame." "Are you ready?" "And action!" "Owen, jump in the air." "Holy shit." "[banging on door]" "It's open!" " Hey." " You're just in time." "Have a seat." "So the Moon footage, I won't say how it looks." "I just want you to watch it, okay?" "Turn the lights off." "Turn the lights off." "[film rolling]" "So it may seem a bit different." "I think you'll enjoy it." "[music playing on film]" "[both laughing]" "[Matt] This is the year before we got recruited." "[Owen] Wow." "[both snickering]" "[banging on door] [film stops]" "[Matt] Who is it?" "Hello?" "Director Brackett, this is a" " Uh, come on in." "Welcome." "It's great to see you guys." "This is a surprise." "What the hell is going on?" "You're changing the direction on this project without my authorization?" "Okay, wh" " Shut up." "I'm not finished." " Okay, listen" " I'm shutting this operation down." " Wait" " It's over." " You made this up?" "Okay, yes." "I made up a mission." "But that's because I wanted to make sure it would work before I brought it to you." "I think I may have solved the Moon problem." "Just" " Trust me." "Watch this." "Sorry." " [film rolling]" " Ignore this." "Ignore this." "[Matt] So that's just sand." "Williams is in the suit." "We shot it in slow motion." "You understand?" "I'm saying we could fake the Moon landing, and it wouldn't be hard." "All people want to see is an image on a television screen and we can give them that." "The rocket will go up, we'll send our footage with them, and the astronauts will just beam it back to Earth." "No one is going to think this is fake, because how insane would that be?" "And if we do it right, this is the kind of thing that sells itself." "Walter Cronkite is going to do half the work for us." "Let me try." "[Brackett] Give us a minute." "[thudding]" " It's okay." " [classic rock playing]" "[Matt] Hi." "Whoa!" "♪ You don't know ♪" " ♪ How I feel ♪ - [laughing]" "♪ You'll never know how I feel ♪" "♪ When I needed you... ♪" "Okay, just shoot from down there, okay?" "Owen?" " Put-- put your mic on." " No." "Put your mic on." "Put your-- It'll take two seconds." "Put your mic on." " Come on." "It'll take two seconds." " I'm not doing this, okay?" " Get the fuck off." " Cheer up!" "We just got a huge promotion, come on!" "Whoo!" "Mr. Boles, I guess we'll be working together again." "Welcome to Texas." "Congratulations on having Brackett approve this insane mission." "You guys are filming this right now?" "Yeah, we film everything." "It's a documentary." "It's a documentary." "Okay, before we get started on this, I know you're technically my boss, but I'm running all this." "Yeah." "No, I'm here because you have no idea what you're doing." "So I'm in charge and you don't run a goddamn thing." "So no more fucking around behind our backs, all right?" "Wow, I heard it's pretty shitty." " Hi." " How you doing?" "Enjoying the 4th of July?" "Yes, I'm in a great mood." "This is a bit of a party for me, too, because we got a big promotion." " Did you?" " Yeah." "[white noise]" "[Matt] Somebody just tell me what's wrong." "[Andy] Is that-- That's the barbecue." "Yeah. 6764." "Just..." "The barbecue what?" "What happened at the barbecue?" "What's going on?" "Watch." "Right..." "There." "See that?" " Yeah, two guys." " Yeah." "Look at this." "[sighs]" "So he's holding something, we're thinking maybe Super 8." "It could be a 35mm still camera." "And do we know who this is?" "Maybe they're NASA guests." "Yeah, I don't know." "Tourists?" "Who knows, right?" "[sighs]" "It could be nothing." " It is nothing..." " [knocking on door]" "Who is it?" "It's Boles." "[whispering indistinctly]" "This looks like shit." "[film stops]" "You have one guy in a space suit," " prancing around on the sand..." " [Matt stammers] ...with one rock." "Who do you think this is gonna convince?" "I" " It convinced Brackett." "Well, now you have to convince me." "What are you talking about?" "Nobody is going to buy this." "I thought you were advocating for me to do this!" "I was advocating for Operation Northwoods." "I think this idea's ridiculous." "[door opens and closes]" "[door slamming]" "[Matt] Mike, do you remember mentioning, uh, test locations that NASA was using for photography?" "Would you mind showing me those pictures?" "You mean on camera, or...?" " If you don't mind." " I don't mind." "These are places that look like the Moon on Earth?" "Exactly." "These are called geology field trips." "So you're saying that the rocks that are on the Moon are the exact same as the rocks on Earth?" " I'm not saying exact." "I'm saying" " But they're close?" "They're close enough that..." "that..." "Yeah, I mean..." "So if you saw them, you would think that, uh..." "Oh, yeah, you can get an igneous rock from a volcano here in America and tell somebody it's a moon rock and they wouldn't know." " Really?" " Yeah." " Hello." "Is Owen home?" " Hmm." "He's in the garage." "You look great." "FBI!" "Look at this!" "The geologists have places on Earth that already look like the Moon." "This is the Barringer Crater, the Grand Canyon." "We shoot this test footage and then compare it with the real moon footage that they're getting from the missions." "I just figured this out!" "Yeah, I can't go on this trip." "[stammering] What?" "What do you mean?" "Why?" " Because I-- because I" " I need you." "If you don't come with me, I'm going with Boles, by myself." "What?" "Are you still mad at me?" "I'm sorry." "I didn't..." " [Julie] Owen!" " One second!" " [stammers] I..." " Listen." " You have to forgive me for this." " I can't go."

"♪♪ [turbines whirring]" "[Matt] How far off can you see?" "You've got to picture it in black and white." "With the sun behind us there." "We can even do a pan." "What do you think?" "[man on TV] We don't know if you can hear, ladies and gentlemen." "But, oh, the flight is moving along as it should be, but our tape recorders are being thrown to the floor by the roar of this mighty rocket, as it continues to climb into the sky," "on its seven and a half million pounds of thrust." "It's a beautiful sight, an unbelievable sight." "[Matt] So I didn't tell him I made the whole thing up, and then you and Brackett show up, and then he punches me." "Now he's acting like we aren't friends." "What would you do?" "[Boles] Well, I wouldn't have done that in the first place." "Okay, yeah, but pretend that you're as stupid as me and you have done that." "[Boles chuckles]" "♪♪" "[film rolling]" "God damn it, look at this!" "We weren't even close." "[Owen] No kidding." "Here." "Okay-- okay, who else has seen this footage?" "Everyone." "See, this is what we need." "We need the actual footage of the Moon." "How do we get astronauts to act in front of this?" "We could start by hiring a real director." "Or you could give up this mission." "Yeah." "[President Muffley on film] You know how we've all talked about the possibility..." "Hey, Don, how are you?" "It's Matt Johnson." "No, I'm calling from Houston." "They got me out here on Operation Zipper." "Listen, can-- I actually need a favor." "Do we have a last known address for Stanley Kubrick when we were doing Operation Deep Red?" "I'm looking at some of his movie effects and" ""No, of course I'd like to say hello!"" "Of course I'd like to say hello." "And I'm watching something." "Would you mind giving me that?" "We'd like to give your Air Staff a complete rundown on..." "Hi, could you give me the phone number to an address in New York?" "Don't say that you're more sorry than I am because I am capable..." "Two, three, nine." "Uh, actually, it's Polaris Productions, Incorporated." "Two, three..." "Uh, my name's Matt Johnson," "I'm a documentary filmmaker working at NASA, and I need to ask him a few questions." "[stammers] Is he there?" "It's an emergency." "Of course not." "No." "And-- and that's not what this is, ma'am." "Yes, hello, my name is Michael Kubrick." "I'm looking for my brother." "Well, I'm calling from the United States and I'm" "And I'm really trying to talk with him." "I've got some very bad news about our father." "Can you give me a phone number for that?" "What time is it in England?" "I'm looking for a Mr. Stanley Kubrick." "I'm a documentary filmmaker from the United States." "This is not a personal call."

"I'm making a documentary here about the Apollo program." "[movie continues indistinct]" "Ah." "What are you guys doing over there, if you don't mind me asking?" "Stanley Kubrick is making a new movie about the Moon landing, and I'm willing to bet that we can use the special effects that he's doing there to do this." "[Owen] Okay, but..." "We can't just walk onto the film set." "He has two NASA scientists advising him." "We're going to go and say we're going to interview them." "Do you see what's going on here?" "Kubrick is getting NASA to make sure that his space movie looks like real space." "And so we're going to use his space movie to make sure the real space movie looks like space!" "Do you see how crazy that is?" "["Rule, Britannia" playing]" "Welcome to England!" "[camera whirring]" "It's not too loud?" "[Jared] No, well, it'll be packed inside the bag." "[whirring continues]" "Not bad for..." "For on the spot, just figured it out!" "[camera whirring]" "[Matt] Jared, wave!" "Jared, big wave!" "Yeah, that's her." " [car door closes] - [Matt] Madeleine!" "You won't be able to bring that camera inside." "You'll have to shut it off as soon as we get in, I'm afraid." " Is Mr." " The sets are all live." "No problem." "Is Mr. Kubrick inside?" "He is, but security is very tight." "You'll be thrown off the set if you try to approach him, so please don't." " You got it." " Go ahead." "Thank you." "[Madeleine] Please wait right here." "Yeah, sure." "We'll stay right here." "[Kubrick] It might be better to just play it as a medium shot" " in this situation." " [man] Mm-hmm." "Yeah." "Can you do it with your head down?" "What about out there?" "[Kubrick] Well, that's not bad." "Let's do that." "Right." "Check the gate, Doug." "[chattering]" "I would never normally do this, but it's for a friend." " His name is Matt Johnson." " Mm-hmm." "[Matt] Jared, tell me you are getting this." "Oh, my God." "Excuse me?" "How, um... how'd you set this up?" "Owen, it's called front screen projection!" "We got it!" "Kubrick's technique, how he's faking..." "I wanna-- I wanna tell you." "Boles, hey." "It's called front screen projection." "We figured out how to-- how to do it." "Yeah, okay, all right." "I'll, uh..." "Do you want us to fly right there, or...?" "Sure." "[receiver clicks]" "All right, it's called front screen projection." "Stanley Kubrick can fake any environment he wants, by projecting it through a semi-transparent mirror and then onto a gigantic silver screen." "Then he films the entire scene through the same mirror at a 90-degree angle to the projector." "What it winds up doing is creating images where you can't tell where the stage stops... and the fake photographic background begins." "You have an infinite depth of field into environments that exist completely in two-dimensional space." "We can do the same thing with the lunar surface photography that NASA is taking on the Apollo missions." "[projector clicking]" "♪♪" "Movie special effects can be very convincing, especially when you don't know you're watching a movie." "The plan is to rent a film studio in Texas, hire a crew, and have them build our own lunar lander." "We'll mix this practical set piece, with Kubrick's projection technique, and presto, the illusion that man is walking on the Moon." "Now I know you're probably thinking this is too much exposure, and that the risk of bringing in outsiders is too high, but we already have the perfect cover." "We're making a documentary about the Moon landing." "And it's not a stretch to say that we're building sets to conduct interviews, shoot B-roll footage." "We could even say it's for simulations." "Hell, most of the major networks are doing this already." "The only people who need to know what's actually happening are the astronauts, who you should select based on their willingness to cooperate, and James Webb, who's either going to have to work with us or get out of the way." "And that's the easy part." "We also need to convince everybody at NASA." "The good news is, the only people who are in contact with the rocket are all in one room in Houston, inside Mission Control." "If we can convince Mission Control that what they're doing is real, everybody else will follow." "How do we do that?" "Well, Mission Control actually monitors everything, from the heart rates of the astronauts, to the exact location of the lunar module as it descends to the Moon." "And they're getting all this information through radio, directly from the ship." "The good news is that they've run so many tests with this exact mission that they actually have telemetric data of successful lunar landings, stored on guidance systems on Apollo 11." "Here's where we get very lucky." "As the command module passes along to the dark side of the Moon, the radio signals can't penetrate the core." "For 30 minutes, we have a window for the astronauts to switch from real data to fake telemetric data." "Mission control will be getting data of the lunar module undocking and landing on the lunar surface, but it will be completely faked." "Combine that with our footage that the astronauts are going to pipe into the broadcast back to Earth, and nobody's going to have any idea." "As far as NASA and the rest of the world is concerned, the United States just landed on the Moon." "Finally, the broadcast." "To shoot in slow motion, we have to shoot film." "To broadcast, it needs to be video." "Which means we have to do a transfer, which normally would be fine, except that people cannot know it originally began as film." "That means a single scratch, any dust..." "[Brackett] Okay, okay." "We got it." "Thank you for the presentation." " You can go ahead." " Thank you, sir." "[softly] Talk to your folks about the Northwoods plan." "Tell them to put a hold on it and we'll see how this develops." "Director, what is the Northwoods plan?" "I've never heard of Operation Northwoods." "Shoot down Apollo 11 and blame the Soviets." "[stammering] With the astronauts on the flight?" "Why would we do that?" "If your film doesn't come together, then we have to have a backup plan." "And that is our backup plan." "[whirring]" "...plan?" "I've never heard of Operation Northwoods." "Shoot down Apollo 11 and blame the Soviets." "[clicks off]" "[whirring]" "[man on TV] Who were these men going to the Moon?" "David Schoumacher profiled the crew of Apollo 11." "Neil Armstrong, the man chosen to be first to step upon the Moon." "He is by all accounts intelligent, courteous, sober, a good family man." "He is perfect for the role, beyond what a Hollywood scriptwriter would dare." "Buzz Aldrin is perhaps the most brilliant of the astronauts, some say even a genius." "His doctorate at MIT came after a thesis on orbital rendezvous, and he understands the abstract theory of space mechanics as well as anyone." "Mike Collins is the least technical in outlook of the Apollo 11 astronauts, but the most philosophical." "If he does not love machines, he does love wine, and books, and roses." "A man who has known all three pilots for many years says if he were forced down on an island, he would want it to be with Collins for the quality of his personality." "Another said he would prefer Aldrin, because, with his intelligence, he would soon be converting seawater to fresh water and otherwise logically attacking the problem." "But both agreed in the final analysis, that they would hope it was with Armstrong, because, somehow, he would get them off of it." "[phone ringing]" "Hello?" "Boles, we just got back." "Where are you?" "Okay." "Turn on the TV." "Yeah, okay." "I'm turning it on now." "Why?" "[reporter on TV] Summarize what you just said, and then we'll ask you some questions about seeing the President?" "Uh, yes, I'd like to say that, uh, over a year ago," "President Johnson and I reviewed the space program and, uh, agreed to build strength so that I might retire on my 62nd birthday, which happens to be this next October 7th." "Today, we have reviewed the progress we have made and the President has agreed that I could retire on October 7th, when I will be 62." " [Matt exhales]" " I'd like to say one other thing..." "Yeah, okay." "Well, I guess that means he didn't want to cooperate, huh?" "Okay, yeah." "I'll see you when you get back." "Bye." "[indistinct talking]" "[Matt] Andy!" "Sorry." " What are you doing?" " Shooting for the documentary." " Oh, okay, fine." "Where's Owen?" " He's at the hospital." "What?" "Julie had the baby." "Oh, shit!" "Hey." "I missed it, eh?" "Hey, Mom." "Wow!" "[Owen] Matt!" " What's his name?" " Simon." " Can I hold him?" " Sure, if you want to." "[whispering] I need to talk to you." "I need to talk to Matt." "[Matt whispering] Okay." "What's up?" "One minute." "[Matt] Okay, okay." "What the hell is this?" "Jared showed me the photos of the men who were watching us at the barbecue." " They're filming us, Matt!" " Okay." "Why are you bringing this up at the hospital?" " Relax!" " Relax?" "This could be the Russians!" "We have to get off this mission." "If we get caught, the CIA will abandon us, okay?" " I'm calling Brackett to them him" " No!" "No!" "No!" "You are not calling Brackett!" "No one's calling Brackett!" "You are being paranoid!" "I hope so, because if I'm right and this is the mole?"

"[Boles chuckles]" "I mean that seriously." "Do you think it would physically kill you?" "Okay, and it's for a film shoot." "Uh, we're making a documentary about the Moon landing, and we need to make a lunar surface." "And so it's like a fake lunar surface." "That's-- that's what we need." "So I don't know how much sand you can ship us." "But, uh, four-- four tons?" "How many tons are in a truck?" "Can you hold on a sec?" "Where are you going?" "Uh, sorry, say again?"

"A lead feather." "Wait a minute, we gotta keep the flag as stable as possible, because the wind resistance makes it billow." " You wave the flag." " You can't do that!" "Okay, Houston, I'm about to step off the LM." " He leaves a footprint there." " 'Cause they'd leave footprints there." "Exactly!" "And we so can send photographs of that back home." "It's" " That's-- That is the image!" "Write that down, the footprints!" "The word "foot" is disgusting." "Maybe people don't want to hear "foot," but" "No, "with this step."

"Future plans for space missions, of course, have been accelerated considerably."

"[Boles] So we've got good news and bad news." "The good news: his name is Antonin Lhotsky." " [Matt] Uh-huh." " [Boles] He's a KGB agent." "He's the man from outside the studio the other night." "Whoa, what?" "We suspect he's been the mole the entire time." "S-- so then he knows about Avalanche." "We're fucked!" "We don't think he does." "We've been interrogating him for the past couple of days." "He doesn't seem to know anything." "We've raided his house." "Nothing." "[Owen] This guy's the mole?" "And you-- you got him?" "We got him." "So, then... what?" "We're just..." "We're good?" "Well, not entirely." "We, uh, got some new Intel on the Soviet progress, and it turns out they're doing better than we thought." "It looks like they could possibly make it to the Moon by the end of '69." "Which means that we need to be done by April, at the latest." "Yeah, that puts us on a pretty tight timeline."

"So the mole knew that we couldn't make it to the Moon for over a year?" "I don't think so." "I don't think that Lhotsky's the mole." "I don't think Lhotsky was outside the studio." "I mean, Lhotsky knows that we can't make it to the Moon, so maybe they" "He wouldn't cooperate and they had to make him a fall guy" " by saying that he's the mole." " They?" "Yeah." " What do-- what do you mean?" " The CIA." "Okay, well, then who's outside the studio following us?" "CIA agents." "That's why Boles didn't shoot them." "They're all working together." "They're all watching us, and they're lying to us." "For what?" "For what purpose?" "They know everything that we're doing." "Why..." "This doesn't make any sense."

"Getting rid of the details in the studio." "You go in and you black out the areas with litho ink." "Let's move this a little bit further down, because it seems a little too square."

"They're going to kill us both, they're going to kill the astronauts." " I'm sure" " Anyone who knows about this." "I'm sure Lhotsky knew too much and so they got rid of him." "Okay?" "That's it." "Right!" "Right!" "That's what I'm talking about!" "He was the mole, okay?" "No, no, they're tying off loose ends!" "Yeah, and so who else is gonna die, huh?" "They're gonna kill Jim Webb?"
