"We'll drink when we actually launch a gravity tractor with a full-sized EmDrive."

"Which is why we're not telling the government the EmDrive works." "Not until we know who we can trust." "I am sorry for your loss." "Oh, no." "Don't feel sorry for me." "Feel sorry for the one who violated my trust, 'cause I'm going to destroy them." "A billion dollars... gone." "Not gone." "An investment that could still pay off." "Could." "Might." "Maybe." "I am done hearing those words from Darius Tanz." "The EmDrive melted down, and he burned through a billion dollars." "It's time to cut the cord." "Cut the cord?" "Darius is no longer a member of this task force." "What?" "We're pulling his funding." "The government is done with Tanz Industries." "We've lost control of space." "We're out of options." "Darius is our best hope right now." "Our best hope?" "He squandered a billion dollars." "The EmDrive project crashed and burned spectacularly." "And now we find out that NASA was hacked by one of his own people." "Am I missing something here, Ms. Barrows?" "You've already helped him drain this task force of time and money." "There's only one of those we can get back." "You're saying you want him to return the billion dollars we gave him?" "No, I'm saying you want him to return that money." "Get it back, or you'll be off this task force, too." "Grace?" "Grace, wait." "A little heads-up would be nice next time." "You let me get sandbagged in there." "Grace, this isn't about you." "You're pulling funding from the one thing that can save us." "That's unfair." "You've never liked him." "Well, maybe you like him too much." " What's that supposed to mean?" " [scoffs]" "It means your vision gets a little cloudy when it comes to Darius Tanz." "Yeah, you act as if he's the messiah and we're all just his disciples, never allowed to question him." "There are people he has to answer to, Grace, and I'm one of them." "You can't kick me off this task force." "I'm the only one keeping the barbarians at the gate." "[elevator bell dings]" "And you're one of them." "Get me proof that the EmDrive has a shot." "I can't sell it in that room anymore without proof." "Fine, I'll get you proof." "If you get that pit bull off my back." "POTUS wants to know what our next step is." "Easy with this, gentlemen." "It's one of a kind." "Yes, sir." "Easy." "Don't bounce it." "Darius, I got to call Jillian." " I need a second." " Don't shake it." "There's no time." "Call her from the road." "I-Is he the only guy going with us?" "I need to keep the circle tight." "Can you just tell me she's safe, please?" "I've hired the best security force in the world." "From here on, no one will breathe without me knowing about it." "I'll meet you there." "Now go." "Okay."

"Well, you be sure to thank Darius for creating such a warm and inclusive work environment." "MAN [over P.A.]:" "Attention, employees, please comply with all security requests." "Darius, what's going on down there?" "I'm finding out who hacked the IO Probe, since the government seems to have lost interest." "[sighs]" "Lazlo hacked the probe." "You need to accept that and move on." "Darius, everything is at stake here." "Yes, I'm aware, which is why I've hired some former Mossad to conduct the investigation." "Best interrogators in the world." "Unlike those amateurs from Langley." "The government's cutting you off." "They want their money back," " or what's left of it." " What?" "And they're throwing me off the task force if I don't get it." "No, not now." "Now's the time when we need it most." "The EmDrive works, Grace." "What?" "We're in the process of scaling it up now." "It's gonna take massive amounts of material and hundreds of workers around the clock to get this thing built and launched." "This little government tantrum could not have come at a worse time." "Y-You don't believe me." "Said the man who sent me on a wild uranium chase." "For which, uh, you still owe me an explanation or, I don't know, an apology." "Oh, maybe a Hallmark card." ""Sorry I made you steal uranium for my ark."" "Soon as I get my "Sorry I let them waterboard you" card in the mail." "Darius, I'm sorry." "I..." "I'm desperately sorry for what happened, and I want to believe you, but right now," "I have too many questions and not enough answers." "I can't go back to the Pentagon without proof the EmDrive works." "Okay, follow me." "You want proof?" "You want answers?" "Yes, I do." "Get in." "[echoing]:" "Who are you?" "Hey, Amanda." "Thank God." "How you feeling?" "Sore." "Yeah, well, you got hit by a car." "How long have I been here?" "Couple days." "Someone was here, Ed, in the room." "This creepy guy in a hoodie." "Doctor said you might be just a little confused after the accident 'cause of the concussion." "It wasn't an accident." "I think someone tried to kill me." "Who?" "I don't know." "But I'm gonna find out." "LIAM:" "What do you think Darius is doing to the employees?" "He's probably just asking them some questions." "Yeah, but, I mean, you saw how crazy he was acting, right?" "I just don't want Jillian to feel like..." "The fate of the world is at stake, and you're worried about your little puppy love?" "Hmm?" "Okay." "Well, first, I'm not a puppy." "And second, what the hell is your problem?" "[loud bang] [tire thumping]" " What's happening?" " It's a flat." "Nothing to worry about." " Sit tight..." " [gunshot]" "Aah!" "Hands on your head!" "Get out of car, now!" "Okay, okay." "Phone!" "Get in!" "Okay." "Okay." "[engine revving]" "You guys working for someone?" "Is it the government maybe?" "Because we have friends at the Pentagon."

"Listen to your friend." "LIAM: 9-1-1, my professor, his place is trashed." "He didn't show up for class." "There were big scary goons staking out his house." "They chased my ass across town." "We're plotting possible intercept courses with the asteroid to see which countries have available spacecraft out near Samson." "Then we'll approach them about a collaborative mission." "But we still don't know who was behind the hack." "How do we know who we can trust?" "We don't." "It's a process." "And what do we say?" ""Pardon me, but do you mind if we destroy your billion-dollar space toy for no apparent reason?"" "It'll look like an accident." "By then, it's too late for anyone to object." "Claire, you were a little rough on Grace Barrows this morning." "Was I?" "Threatening to throw her off the task force?" "She's been working day and night, like the rest of us, trying to find solutions." "Well, she's created more problems than anything else." "You know, I-I get the feeling sometimes that it's personal." "Is it personal for me, Harris, or for you?" "DEXTER:" "Sir." "I've located three probes that can reach Samson." "The closest one can intercept in 12 days." "Who does it belong to?" "DEXTER:" "China." "CLAIRE:" "China's not gonna work with us." "Moving on." "DEXTER:" "Here's one that can impact Samson in 22 days:" "the Mahnaz Probe." " Iran." " Try again." "DEXTER:" "Last one is the furthest out." "But a collision could be possible in 79 days: the Bijali." "India." "A U.S. ally." "Jackpot." "GRACE:" "Where are we exactly?" "I thought we were going to see the EmDrive." "We are." "Eventually." "Eventually?" "Darius, where are we going?" "Lazlo's house." "Or safe house, actually." "What?" "You lied to me again." "I never lied to you." "How do you say that with a straight face?" "I told you that I needed uranium to save the human race." " That's true." " Okay." "Your facility for self-rationalization is alarming." "What's alarming is your self-delusion." " If I'm right..." " And you're certain you are." "Lazlo is not the mole!" "And it doesn't matter whether or not the EmDrive works." "Nothing we do matters, because someone will always be sabotaging us." "GRACE:" "What are we doing here?" "Laz uploaded something onto a private remote server in the last moments of his life." "Yeah." "Probably all of Tanz Industries' secrets." "Or the answer to his murder." "This is where he lived?" "He was a quiet man." "With demons." "Is this you?" "Yes." "You're all set, Ms. Neel." " Thank you." " Thanks."
