:03:03
Captain Brynner is gonna shit if
he finds out we haven't closed up shop.
:03:08
I had something of an epiphany
this morning, Telstar.
:03:11
I eliminated the binary shell,
and I grafted the cobaltion
to the other side of the molecule.
:03:16
I think it might give us a significantly
more rapid chemical ignition.
:03:20
It better.
:03:25
Mr. Sweeney, how goes it?
:03:27
Well, Costello's finished
with the stability profile...
:03:30
but Abbott is still chewing
on the load file.
:03:33
So reaction temperature is 50 degrees.
Your prediction was on the nose.
:03:37
How much longer
for the range and power projections?
:03:40
I don't know.
:03:42
Uh, he's working, but there's a lot
of data. Maybe another hour.
:03:46
We don't have an hour.
We're already supposed to be shut down.
:04:04
Dr. Long.
:04:06
What the hell's all this about
a detonation today?
:04:08
We're scheduled to be
off the island tonight.
:04:10
I changed the schedule.
:04:12
I don't work for you,
Captain Brynner.
:04:14
Sweeney tells me you don't have
computer confirmation.
:04:19
You know, Captain, if you hadn't
spent so much of your career
questioning your superiors,
:04:24
you might've found yourself
with more gold leaf on your collar.
:04:26
This isn't some kind
of pissing contest, Long.
:04:28
You may be in charge here, but those men
out there are my responsibility.
:04:32
Look, this is
a scientific experiment, okay?
:04:36
If it works, your stock at the Pentagon
will go up along with mine.
:04:39
I don't think I need to mention
you could use the help.
:04:41
The N.S.A. thinks
the U.N. is onto your work.
:04:44
The White House is screaming
about chemical weapons,
:04:47
and we're sittin' here
with our hands in the cookie jar.
:04:49
Let me tell you something else.
I didn't join the service
to let people like you...
:04:53
turn the United States into the kind
of country we're supposed to be--
:04:55
But you have no choice
but to follow orders.
:04:58
Now listen to me.
