Synopsis: 51 chronicles what happens after political pressure from the American public forces the Air Force to provide a few well-known reporters with limited access to the most secretive base on the planet: Area 51.

Stop thinking. You're bad at it.

Well, if everything on display here

was state of the art,

it would be obvious

we're hiding something important.

It's a classic poker move.

If you're holding something strong,

you represent weakness.

Okay. Here's my theory.

We're assigned to an ancient weapon

'cause there's actually nothing here

worth defending.

We should be grateful,

'cause this provides us with a guarantee

that nobody will ever shoot at us.

And who are you

to talk about poker strategy

after I took 50 bucks off you last weekend?

Hey! You got lucky.

You cried like a baby.

Airmen don't cry.

- They bleed tears.

- They bleed tears. Yeah.

Thank God. Let's go grab some grub.

Hey, Gomez?

I ain't got a degree in aliens or nothing,

but I think there's something wrong

with one of these guys.

Are you gonna send J Rod

down here or what?

Lady Death hit her gate pretty hard.

We better make sure she...

Gomez, what the hell?

Did you open up Little Devil's gate?

That's amazing.

I mean, I can count the leaves

in my swimming pool.

What about you, Claire?

Want to see your backyard from space?

You can see my house on Google Earth.

Not with this clarity.

You really need to trim these hedges.

Detecting a life form.

My friend Astrid is cat sitting.

She's talking on the phone.

You want to hear what she's saying?

Two best sellers

and a big advance on the next one.

Trust me, her place is gorgeous.

It's just sad that she has no one to share

it with except for all these cats.

Colonel, forgive me, but you have

to assure me that the U.S. Government

is not using this technology

to spy on U.S. Citizens.

The government is not using this

technology to spy on our citizens yet.

Claire?

Well, Claire, you have no pending

arrest warrants

and your facial structure

indicates only a two percent chance

of you ever carrying out a terrorist attack.

And you were in Afghanistan

sometime in the last month?

How the hell would it know that?

The software provides

"skin texturing analysis,

"reveals recent weathering

"due to environmental elements

unique to Kabul."

The bigger question is

why didn't I know about it?

That should have come out

when we vetted you.

Well, it was a secret trip.

Well, cherish your secrets, Claire.

The future brings us

fewer and fewer of them.

What about your secrets, Colonel?

I know you're not telling us everything.

Is that what you want?

You truly believe that civilians

need a window on the military?

Has it ever occurred to you

that if the American public knew

what we were up to, so would our enemies?

Actually, sir,

that's exactly what's occurred to me.

I don't think that you've let us in

because you caved to public pressure.
