Battleship

Today really marks the first stage

of an unprecedented technological advancement.

We have begun to identify so-called Goldilocks planets.

These are planets that share a similar relationship with their sun

as we have with ours.

If a planet's too far away from its sun, it's too cold.

If it's too close to its sun, it's too hot.

But for an Earth-like planet, the distance is just right.

Potentially perfect for sustaining life.

We have finally managed to identify one planet

that is the right distance from its star to hold water

and is the right mass to sustain an atmosphere.

Every 24 hours, our station in Hawaii

will transmit a signal to Landsat 7, our deep orbiting satellite,

which will amplify and relay the signal to our targeted planet

which is, rather grandly, entitled Planet G.

If there is intelligent life out there, and they come here

it's going to be like Columbus and the Indians.

Only, we're the Indians.

Ladies and gentlemen, please prepare to bear witness to the making of history.

Start transmission.

It seems as though NASA is setting up shop

right here in our own backyard.

Today, the Beacon International Project was launched.

Satellite dishes here on Oahu

sending out very powerful signals into deep space

with an attempt to communicate with anyone...

Another round, birthday boy.

...or anything that might be out there listening.

A toast.

Happy birthday, little brother.

I'm wishing you success and growth, and happiness.

May this be a great year for you.

It's going to be a great year.

I love you. I love you, too.

So, in the great Hopper family tradition,

this year I'm quoting from Coach John Wooden.

Johnny.

"Adversity is the state in which man""

"most easily becomes acquainted with himself"

"being especially free of admirers then."

Cheers.

I'm not cheers-ing that.

It's a very good quote for you.

"I may be free of admirers right now but there is still time"?

Will you shut up?

Light your cupcake and raise your glass.

Did you get me that?

Yes, I got you that.

Thank you, that's very sweet.

You're welcome. You're very welcome.

I got this guy, Tony. He said he can get you a construction job.

All you need to do is call him.

Could I get a beer and a chicken burrito, please?

Sorry, kitchen's closed.

You're not going to call him, are you?

Give Tony my best, but I don't need you

or Tony's help, for that matter.

You can call him or join me in the Navy.

No. Great. All right.

Happy birthday. Blow out your candle and make a wish.

Do not waste a wish on a girl.

Wish for a job, an apartment.

A new alternator belt, so I don't have to drive you everywhere.

A job, or... You said "job" twice.

It's my birthday and my wish.

All right?

Please don't waste it.

You just wasted that wish, didn't you?

I'm going in. You're not going in.

How do I look?

Wait, let me just fix that.

Awesome!

All right, princess, go get 'em.

Great start.

Ugh.

What seems to be the problem?

I want a chicken burrito.

Johnny, chicken burrito her.

It ain't happening. Chicken burrito her.

Kitchen's closed, Hopper.

What's your name?

I'm hungry.

That's not your name.

If you give me five minutes

I will get you your chicken burrito.

Five minutes, starting now.

Chicken burrito time, I'm out.

Chicken burrito, roger that.

Wait! Hi!

No! Let's just...

Just one twist of the key and we will be good.

How are you, ma'am?

How you doing? Burritos, right there.

It's closed. Too late, pal.

Okay.

It's right there. Please?

It's too late to eat a burrito. Too many complex carbs.

$3.99...

Chicken burrito.

I got it!

Hey! Freeze!

I got a burrito! I got it!

Freeze!

Stay down!

He's getting back up!

I've had it! Look at yourself!

How is it that you screw everything up?

By the way, that girl you were trying to impress last night,

do you know who her father is?

Admiral Shane!

He runs the whole damn fleet!

So, now you're messing with my job. My life!

You know that girl?

The burrito girl?

I've always stayed out of your business, haven't I?

Because I was hoping that maybe one day

you would learn from your mistakes.

You would grow up, you would mature a bit!

Is my back all right?

Oh, my God! My back!

You're 26, and what have you got? You got, what?

Sixty-five dollars to your name?

I got tazed.

A car that doesn't start. You're living on my couch!

Those things work!

Man, look at yourself.

Oh, my God.

As from now,

as from right this second, there is a new dynamic at play.

And this dynamic is the following.

From here on, until I state otherwise, there will be no more debate,

no more discussion, no more compromise!

It's me speaking, you listening. Me saying, you doing.

Do you understand that?

It's time for a new course of action.

A new direction.

A game change.

You are joining me in the Navy.

Live, local, this is Hawaii News Now.

Thousands of sailors on dozens of ships

are coming to Hawaii for RIMPAC

RIMPAC is the world's largest

multinational maritime exercise.

RIMPAC is a military ballet of 14 navies...

20, 000 Navy personnel.

Cooperation and collaboration amongst the countries is the goal.

Relationship-building is the key.

Not all the action is taking place out on the water.

There will also be sporting events here on land.

Forget World Cup, this is the RIMPAC Cup final.

It's another beautiful day here in Hawaii, as usual.

Indeed it is, but a storm is brewing on the field

as the scrappy U.S.A. team is butting heads with Japan.

The score is 2-nil, Japan.

The U.S. has been trailing all day.

Team leader Alex Hopper has got to do something to rally the troops here.

Turn it up!

Big save! Great save!

Big save! Stone Hopper, he's answered every test today.

What's wrong with you, drama queen?

Get up, princess, come on!

U.S.A.'s Ordy squares the ball over to number 6, Alan.

Clever backheel into space...

Hopper... Goal!

A missile, past Iwashiro.

The U.S. is finally on the board, showing some signs of life

with the score, 2-1, Japan.

We are now into stoppage time. Can the U.S. tie it up?

Time! Time! Time!

One minute left.

Alex, it's coming your way!

Stone Hopper has placed it perfectly.

It takes a fortuitous bounce.

Hopper is underneath it and on-side.

Hey, ref!

A penalty kick has been awarded to the United States.

Nagata made contact with Hopper inside the box.

And by "contact," you mean Nagata kicked him in the face.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Stone Hopper has come up the field.

I'm fine. I don't need your help.

Bronson is going to take it.

Bronson!

What do you mean, "Bronson"? No, negative.

I'm fine. Bronson, you're gonna take this.

Bronson, don't move. Bronson, come here.

Bronson, you move one more step, you're dead!

Do you want to die today? Do you want to die?

Good choice.

He is definitely concussed.

You just threatened one of my sailors.

Looks like it's going to be his little brother, Alex Hopper.

If I was Stone, I would have picked another shooter.

I'm skeptical that Hopper is 100 percent.

Engage, engage. Impose will, impose will.

There are two kinds of idiots, Hopper.

One looks where he kicks,

the other looks where he doesn't kick.
