in half an hour.

Theres one good thing

about a reactionary president:

No health foods. The last one

we didnt lunch, we grazed.

You want to know what lunch is about?

lll tell you.

Weve got two more aircraft carriers

near Honduras.

The Russians are moving their big stuff in.

You got the Joint Chiefs screaming about

Russian satellites with anti-missile lasers.

So we gotta send up our laser satellites

to counteract theirs.

The president has decided

that the NCA should be put...

...under the Defense Departments

authority.

Enough with the crazy scientists spending

all this money trying to talk to Martians.

Here we are on your actual brink.

My agency will go military...

...the presidents got his finger

on the button...

...and you want me to tell him

we want to hitch a ride...

...with those same Russians.

Have I missed anything?

FLOYD:
Thats about it.

MILSON:
I didnt want your job, you know.

I didnt force you out.

I didnt blame it on you.

So if this is your plan to try

to get me killed, you got the wrong guy.

Three men. I tell you, we need three men.

The Russians must be laughing

their asses off.

Curnow. Hes building Discovery Two

right now.

He knows more about the original

than anyone.

Hes the only one who can start Discovery

in a short time.

And I suppose you want to go?

How the hell am I gonna sell it?

The Russians are gonna go

aboard Discovery with or without us.

Ask him if he wants them

to have all the answers.

Not bad.

We lost some good men up there,

and I sent them. I have to go.

MILSON:
Whos the third?

FLOYD:
Chandra.

He designed Hal. He can reactivate him.

MILSON:
I think he is Hal.

FLOYD:
I know.

MILSON:
Yeah, but can you trust him?

FLOYD:
No.

But I have to.

We have to know why Hal malfunctioned.

I got an idea.

You go tell the president,

lll go on the mission.

Youre the NCA Chairman.

Thats right, I am.

Look, tell him were screwed

if we dont go.

Tell him, if we do go, well lie...

...give the Russians false information.

Tell him that. Hell love that.

He might.

[Electronic beeping]

CHANDRA:
Good afternoon, Sal.

Do you have anything for me?

SAL:
No, Dr. Chandra.

Do you have anything for me?

We have often spoken about Hal.

SAL:
Yes, we have.

CHANDRA:
Weve spoken about

Hals anomalous behavior.

Youve told me that we cant solve

Hals behavior without more information.

SAL:
That is correct.

I enjoy talking about Hal.

I agree that we need more information,

so that we may solve the anomalies.

CHANDRA:
And how do we get

that information?

SAL:
That is obvious.

Someone must return to Discovery.

That person should be you.

I agree.

Now, it looks as if thats going to happen
