Aloha
There was a time
I knew everything in the sky.
Every satellite...
...every constellation...
...souvenirs of space walks
and astronauts...
...and rockets launched by NASA
in the '60s.
As a kid,
I looked up and felt the future.
It belonged to me.
I know you've deceived me
Now here's a surprise N
Hey, hey, man, check this out.
Then 2008 happened.
Budgets crashed.
NASA was just another business
looking for cash.
The billionaires took over.
Satellite pirates with deep pockets,
drunk with the idea of ruling the world.
I left the military and took a job
with the biggest billionaire of them all.
Carson Welch.
I went to the gray side.
Messed up bad in Kabul, Afghanistan,
broke about 18 bones in two legs.
Lost my gig-
For a year, I waited for scraps...
...like a hungry cat
outside a seafood restaurant dumpster.
Finally, I got a crappy second chance.
- At least I was going back to Hawaii.
- Woody.
Just wanted to say hello
before we landed.
How you doing?
How's the contractor job going?
Miss the uniform?
Sometimes.
Heard you popped your balloons
in Afghanistan. Thought you were dead.
I'm delivering a blessing
on a pedestrian gate.
Only in Hawaii, huh?
- Casablanca, baby.
Tracy's gonna flip out
when she sees you.
- Colonel Lacy?
- Yes, sir.
Are you aware
of the so-called Arrival myth?
- What's that?
- The calendars say...
...that this week is the return
of the playful Hawaiian god Lono...
...and he will wreak havoc in the sky
with the fire goddess Pele.
- Mitchell? Hey.
- Oh.
Sorry. Sorry.
He's a Hawaiian-myth buff.
Yeah, of course he is.
All right, Mitchell, be cool.
Relax and enjoy a bitching summer.
Make love not war, huh?
- Morning, captain.
- Morning, airman.
Good to go.
Well, shit. Looks like we're down
to dwindling resources, huh?
Colonel, I'm here to save you,
you great white obsolete whale.
After Kabul,
I'm surprised you can make a joke.
- Can I be honest? You look terrible.
- I've missed your psychotic hands.
Good times. When's the last time
we worked together?
- Silent Reaper?
- Jesus. Silent Reaper?
Yeah. It's been a while.
- How's your life?
- I got no life. You're my life, Fingers.
"Colonel."
Nobody calls me Fingers anymore.
I'm a big old deal around here.
Got my name on the wall.
I'm so powerful,
I'm erect just thinking about it.
Present arms!
Of course, the old ex-girlfriend.
Pause for the memories.
She handles all these ceremonies
around here now.
All right, Gilcrest, I want to introduce you
to your Air Force liaison. A fast burner.
F-22 pilot on loan to Space Command
for "career broadening." Yep.
Decorated two years ahead of schedule.
General Dixon's favorite.
Meet your watchdog.
Heh. Enjoy.)'-
Captain Allison Ng, sir.
I know you have a meeting.
I'll take us on a flyby of the island.
I'd like to take you
through how this is gonna work.
Hey! I refuse to talk to you.
Well, you just broke that promise.
Are you okay?
So good. Super, super good.
Woody never told me
you were coming.
- Sir, if I may?
- He talked to me.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Because you're not married to him.
Hey, I called you five times last year.
- You still in Forensics?
I'm head of the department.
I make my own hours.
Will you stop getting more beautiful?
Heh.
An awkward silence lasts four seconds.
I'll end this in three.
Sir? If I may?
- You've gotta meet my kids.
- Yeah.
I'll be right back, captain.
Don't get lost now.
Never. Sir.
