Kent.
:03:02
The White House.
:03:07
No excuses. Whoever's responsible,
I want their head on a platter.
:03:11
What happened?
:03:12
You were right all along.
:03:14
The team at the VLA
has worked around the clock...
:03:17
...and the hard work
has finally paid off.
:03:20
This key section uncovered tonight,
and obtained exclusively by CNN...
:03:24
...shows an illustration
of a human figure...
:03:27
...inside a geometric structure
of some kind.
:03:29
This and other contextual clues...
:03:31
...now lead scientists to believe
the message is, in fact...
:03:34
- President called an emergency meeting.
- I imagined he would.
:03:38
...designed to take
a single human occupant into space...
:03:41
...presumably to the star Vega.
:04:06
Tell me.
:04:08
They will build it.
:04:09
Who goes?
:04:10
The President's gone international
to spread the risk and cost--
:04:14
Who goes?
:04:15
Well, it's complicated.
:04:18
They have formed
a group of international candidates.
:04:22
Now, it's your discovery.
:04:24
They understand that.
You're at the top of a very short list.
:04:28
But they're also forming
a selection committee.
:04:31
It's made of scholars, theologians,
scientists, philosophers--
:04:35
You're on it.
:04:37
I've been asked, yes.
:04:41
I guess that means...
:04:43
...that you're a selector,
I'm a selectee and we can't....
:04:46
Yeah.
:04:47
What you don't understand, Ellie, is--
:04:50
I understand.
:04:53
I want you to know, whatever happens,
as far as I'm concerned....
