:08:01
You think this is an alien spacecraft?
:08:02
It's not impossible.
It's ridiculous.
:08:04
We think there's an Unknown Life Form on
the spacecraft. That's why you're here.
:08:08
You are the contact team that
was recommended in the Goodman Report.
:08:13
We have a biochemist. . .
:08:14
. . .to assess the physiology
of the Unknown Life Form.
:08:17
A mathematician, because that'll
probably be our common language.
:08:20
And we have an astrophysicist
to locate its place in the cosmos.
:08:23
-Led by a psychologist.
-Right.
:08:25
Nowadays, the little green men say,
"Take me to your therapist"?
:08:29
Listen up.
:08:31
"Contact teams meeting
an Unknown Life Form or ULF. . .
:08:34
. . .must be prepared
for severe psychological impact.
:08:37
Stress reaction of confronting such life
has not been sufficiently studied. . .
:08:41
. . .and cannot be
entirely predicted in advance.
:08:43
But the most likely consequence
of contact is. . .
:08:46
. . .absolute terror. "
:08:48
That's from Norman's report.
:08:50
I'm sorry, are these parameters correct?
:08:52
You're saying that you have a spacecraft
over a half a mile long. . .
:08:57
. . .that crashed into the ocean 300 years
ago and it's completely intact?
:09:00
That's right.
:09:02
And the kicker is, our sonar
is picking up a low-level hum.
:09:06
Something's still running inside.
:09:07
There's no way this coral could've grown
faster than an inch a year?
:09:11
That's what we're going there to see.
:09:12
What?
:09:13
Who says?
:09:15
Harry, that's a joke, right?
:09:17
This is the greatest scientific
discovery since Copernicus. Bigger!
:09:20
The idea that we're not alone,
it'll change everything.
:09:23
Evidence of extraterrestrial life.
You don't want to see that?
:09:27
I got to say that I resent
this briefing very much.
:09:31
And how's that?
:09:32
If Norman's report calls for a biologist,
a mathematician. . .
:09:36
. . .an astrophysicist
and a psychologist. . .
:09:38
. . .why are you here?
:09:40
Physical protocols
start in a half an hour.
:09:43
You always wear glasses?
:09:44
I just started wearing these.
:09:47
Are the glasses a problem?
I don't actually need them.
:09:51
They're just for reading.
:09:52
And they're more of a crutch.
I see fine without them.
:09:54
But they didn't anticipate
I'd be going 1 ,000 feet under the water.
:09:59
Do you take prescription medication?
