What do you think, Doctor Arroway?
...which you turned down to pursue SETI work...

Okay, look, I understand...
- White Sands? - On this frequency? No.
And there are others?
...and he's our first ambassador to outer space?
Lights.
Okay, they understand that. You're at the top of a very short list.
...they got from the 1930s. They're just getting them.
Well, it's complicated, Ellie.
We're picking up some low-frequency noise.
It's bigger than anything anyone has ever dreamed of before.
Then why don't you simply withdraw your testimony and concede...
...we must confess that your proposal seems less like science...
It would be a dynamite place to do serious SETI...
Isn't that correct, doctor?
Uh-oh. Looks like it's gonna be a long night.
...who doesn't believe in God.
- Fish! - We're on it.
...why do you think these aliens would go to all this trouble?
- Dynamics... - I can confirm the walkway retraction.
Tell me something, doctor...
- Eighty-five percent. - All bearing tips are on the profile.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Forty percent.
We're homeless.
Yes.
...built by the Japanese subcontractors...
Moses with a few billion new commandments.
...in all of human history.
I couldn't imagine living in a world where God didn't exist.
Why can't we just trust the original...?
What?
That they recorded it and sent it back is saying, "Hello, we heard you."

I, for one, believe her.
Your having sent this all over the world may constitute a breach of national security.
Frequency 9.85.
I just couldn't in good conscience vote for a person...
Well, I suppose it would be:
Well, this message is from a civilization that may be anywhere...
But there's a bad drive on 16.
We're locked. Systems check out, signal across the board. What's the frequency?
Good question, Larry.
Does it show?
People have been looking at Vega for years with no results.
What?
Continue.
- Crew Ops? - Nothing wrong with Elmer.
...on the Machine's design and function.
Bring you tens of thousands of light years and then send you home without proof?
Hey.
- Can we hear all the way to New York? - Sure.
I'm sorry I wasted your time.
I'm go.
It was God.
Clearly, I've never been there, but...
It's so beautiful.
- The White House. - Mr. Joss.
Well, I... I guess I should...
...I accept this great honor...
On my mark.
Science, in this case.
- Are you ready? - Yeah, go ahead.
In time, you'll take another.
Yeah, I sure have, Larry.
This won't be understood, not now...
- I was looking for patterns in the chaos. - Doesn't matter, we're a joke to them.
- Did you love your father? - What?
Hello.
Why buy one when you can have two at twice the price?
Yes.
Boy, this is really gonna change the Miss Universe contest.
I'm okay to go.

Something, some...
Two, three, five, seven, those are all prime numbers.
The fact that it recorded static isn't what interests me.
...there will be a substantial amount of energy generated at the core.
...how tiny and insignificant...
...has been received by American scientists. Claire Shipman is at the White House.
We thought this might make things easier for you.
Yes, well, if nothing else...
Controlled by Americans...
...so complex, drawing on many disciplines...
Which will need help to receive and decode.
If I'd known it was gonna take three planes, I might've reconsidered.
...to unite the world in some common goal. Maybe all of the above.
If it's attention you want, you got that. Vega.
Actually, I quite like it up here.
We'll be able to monitor the stresses and effects...
You're living on a space station?
If the president wishes to stay this course...
They still want an American to go, doctor.
However, the appointment to the committee of Michael Kitz...
Thank you, Elmer.
This key section, uncovered tonight and obtained exclusively by CNN...
That's what I've been trying to tell everyone.
I wanna show you something.
You know the Very Large Array in New Mexico?
I got a visual on the door.
...and your stamina.
I have guests so rarely, it's important to me that they feel welcome in my home.
Even a scientist has to admit...
Life support, how is she doing?
...and in multiple dimensions.
Even as it promises answers to some of our oldest questions...
Patch the recording into the image processor.
Something never before experienced...
...to descend upon the VLA facility here in the desert of New Mexico.
Don't tell me.
Security, stage one alert.
...will be gone, dead and buried.
Five...
