00:00We are T-minus 18 seconds from liftoff. We're T-minus 15 seconds.
00:10Would you and your men please follow me?
00:12What the hell is this?
00:13This is an emergency. Please follow me. Now!
00:15T-minus 10 seconds. 9, 8. We have ignition. 6, 5.
00:21We have outboard engines. 3. We have inboard engines. 1, 0.
00:26We have a launch commit. We have a liftoff at 35 minutes after the hour.
00:32Every split second of this historic flight, every intimate detail,
00:37every heartbeat was monitored by mission control in Houston.
00:42This is Capricorn 1. We have landed.
00:47As millions all over the world watched and listened,
00:50the President of the United States spoke to the astronauts across the vastness of space.
00:55To the men of Capricorn 1, I bring you greetings from your fellow Americans.
01:00There's only one small catch. It never happened.
01:04It's all a lie, a fantastic $30 billion hoax.
01:09Something's wrong and I don't know what it is.
01:12Dig deep enough, you might uncover the truth.
01:15Those signals couldn't have come from 300 miles.
01:18But the odds are, you'll never live to tell it.
01:22Freeze!
01:23I'm not moving an inch.
01:28They're on the plane together.
01:31There's a device that's on the plane.
01:35There's some people. If I don't give them the all-clear signal, they'll explode it.
01:40Something's wrong, something big.
01:43They know I'm onto it and they try to kill me.
01:45Who's they?
01:46I can't tell you.
01:47We are dead.
01:50You tell me you're in trouble, you're out on bail, you just got fired, I tell you I'll be right over.
01:54My head hurts.
01:55You look awful.
01:56Thank you very much.
01:57You're quite welcome.
01:58These people, they're capable of anything.
02:10You sound so close. It's hard to believe you really are that far away in space.
02:15It's hard for me to believe it too.
02:18You're up to something, you want my help.
02:24It's gotten out of control, it's too big.
02:29Capricorn 1, this is Houston.
02:31Capricorn 1, we show red on the heat shield.
02:40Capricorn 1, this is Houston, we show red on the heat shield, do you read?
02:44Red on the heat shield, do you read?
02:46Pull that lever down by your feet when I tell you, sonny.
03:02Capricorn 1, the mission that never got off the ground.
