No harm, no foul.

We're all very appreciative

of Dr. Kane and Mr. Black's discovery.

Block.

Block. I'm sorry.

The confirmation ofthe existence

oflife outside this planet--

Would be the greatest

scientific discovery ofour time.

Yes, actually.

Yes, it would.

And you have myword thatyou'll be kept

in the loop from this point forward.

You son ofa b*tch.

What doyou mean, kept in the loop?

General, we are the loop.

We won't cutyou out,

but we do need to take control.

We're following protocol.

You remember protocol, don'tyou?

Yeah, I got some protocol right here

foryou, Russell. Come and get it.

Look, this research must continue under

careful government control and scrutiny.

We secured the area.

We're constructing an air lock into the

cavern and a field research facility.

So there's not a lot

for the science department...

ofGlen Canyon Community College

to do here.

Did you catch that condescending tone

when he says Glen Canyon Community--

We are following well-established

federal guidelines--

Ma'am, please. Russell, don't pull

this crap. We deserve to be here.

You deserve to be here?

You're lucky anybody's ever letyou

near a science laboratory again, Ira.

You're a disgrace,

and a dangerous one at that.

Lieutenant, show these men out.

This is horseshit.

It's not over.

You're in for a fight, Russell.

Would you stop following me, please?

Thankyou.

We're not gonna bend over

and take this!

Fruit basket for Russell Woodman!

Happy holidays, General!

Cute.

Dr. Kane, areyou asking me

to bar the federal government...

from involvement in a discovery

as significant as this?

No, no. We're asking you to make sure

that the local scientists...

who actually made the discovery

continue to play a significant role.

They kept us out for almost two weeks.

We put our lives on the line to find

these little guys, Your Majesty.

Wejust want to be there for them

as they grow up.

We were the first team at the site and

the initial testing was done in our lab.

The facilities at Glen Canyon Community

College are ajoke, sir.

Theyweren't ajoke

when I went there, General.

Your Honor, ifthe court

would allow me to depose Dr. Kane?

Depose me?

We thinkyour past is very relevant,

Dr. Kane.

These issues speak directly

to his competence as a scientist.

Dr. Kane, you were

a top-level researcher...

at USAMRI D from '94 to '97,

wereyou not?

Yes, that's correct.

And you were summarily dismissed

in the summer of 1 997. Any idea why?

My services were no long required?

Uh-huh. So in your opinion...

your firing had nothing to do

with an experimental anthrax vaccine...

you developed and gave to nearly 140,000

U.S. soldiers in May ofthatyear?
