:28:01
What exactly do you do?
:28:03
- It's like an interpreter.
- Interpreting what?
:28:07
Messages from outer space, my dear.
:28:11
"E.T. Phone home."
:28:20
Cryptologists determine
if a valid communication's been received...
:28:23
and then they try and decipher
and interpret it.
:28:25
Just exactly how many signals
have you interpreted?
:28:30
None, exactly.
:28:34
Since you've never heard from them,
do you still believe they're out there?
:28:38
- Do you believe in God?
- Yes.
:28:41
- Have you ever heard from him?
- No.
:28:51
- How about a drink?
- Think I'm gonna turn in.
:28:54
Been kind of tired.
:29:05
How long do these communication
blackouts last?
:29:08
Seen it go a couple of weeks before.
:29:10
Once in a while
there's intermittent signals...
:29:12
that last long enough to make contact
with the Brits at McMurdo.
:29:15
Till then we're totally cut off?
:29:16
When it gets like this,
nothing can get in or out.
:29:19
Sno-Cats are useless,
and they wouldn't chance an icebreaker.
:29:22
I can't believe how much it's melted.
You can almost see inside it now.
:29:27
Am I crazy, or does this thing
seem to be giving off a low-grade impulse?
:29:31
I can feel it in my joints.
:29:33
It's really strong if you touch it. Careful.
:29:37
Was the signal harmonic
when you first intercepted it?
:29:40
- No.
- What does that mean?
:29:42
Two or more separate frequencies
combined in one signal.
:29:45
I think one's a locator pulse
and the other's plain text.
:29:49
- An actual message.
- It's a lot of work just to create a hoax.
:29:55
This is no hoax.
:29:58
How long do you think it would take us
to rig up some kind of a horn antenna?
