00:00:08,881 --> 00:00:12,718
[NASA Control] T minus 15
seconds, guidance is internal.

00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,857
Twelve, eleven, ten, nine,
ignition sequence start.

00:00:18,791 --> 00:00:21,595
Six, five, four, three, two,
one.

5
00:00:25,698 --> 00:00:27,431
[Roger] Midway through the
last century,

6
00:00:27,433 --> 00:00:29,067
a few of mankind's brightest
minds

7
00:00:29,069 --> 00:00:30,701
got together over lunch,

8
00:00:30,703 --> 00:00:33,971
to seriously discuss a
question, which until then,

9
00:00:33,973 --> 00:00:37,074
had been largely relegated to
the realm of science fiction.

10
00:00:37,076 --> 00:00:39,845
The question was, "where is
everybody?"

11
00:00:39,847 --> 00:00:42,047
Asked on a cosmic scale.

12
00:00:42,049 --> 00:00:43,715
In a galaxy vast enough to
encompass

13
00:00:43,717 --> 00:00:45,883
a hundred million black holes

14
00:00:45,885 --> 00:00:48,553
and a thousand times
that many burning stars,

15
00:00:48,555 --> 00:00:50,154
we expect to see some signs of
life

16
00:00:50,156 --> 00:00:52,958
beyond this little blue dot we
stand on.

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,626
Since that lunchtime
chat among physicists,

18
00:00:55,628 --> 00:00:56,761
we've extended our reach beyond

19
00:00:56,763 --> 00:00:58,696
the solar wind's farthest
traces.

20
00:00:58,698 --> 00:01:01,766
And our sight all the way
to our universe's horizon.

21
00:01:01,768 --> 00:01:04,536
But despite the staggering
biodiversity here on Earth,

22
00:01:04,538 --> 00:01:06,872
we have yet to encounter
a single piece of evidence

23
00:01:06,874 --> 00:01:09,544
that says that we aren't alone.

24
00:01:11,011 --> 00:01:12,977
So, are we an anomaly?

25
00:01:12,979 --> 00:01:14,979
A lonely group of chance
biological specimens

26
00:01:14,981 --> 00:01:19,884
alone in a blind and deaf
universe of rock and ice and gas?

27
00:01:19,886 --> 00:01:22,521
By its definition and anomaly is
unlikely

28
00:01:22,523 --> 00:01:24,855
and shouldn't be assumed.

29
00:01:24,857 --> 00:01:26,625
But the possible reasons
we haven't yet sensed

30
00:01:26,627 --> 00:01:30,961
an alien presence range from
the terrifying to the sublime.

31
00:01:30,963 --> 00:01:32,431
Where are the others?

32
00:01:32,433 --> 00:01:34,131
And why can't we find them?

33
00:01:34,133 --> 00:01:38,170
The answer will be mankind's
most important discovery.

34
00:01:38,172 --> 00:01:41,706
And so we search hoping
with each passing decade

35
00:01:41,708 --> 00:01:45,847
to observe something that
might give us an answer.

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,654
[Becker] Docking lock
confirmed.

37
00:01:55,656 --> 00:01:58,489
Commander Nelson, you're
free to move about the cabin

38
00:01:58,491 --> 00:02:00,926
and prepare for stasis.

39
00:02:00,928 --> 00:02:02,726
[Roger] Thanks.

40
00:02:02,728 --> 00:02:06,997
Oh, and NASA, one of my data
screens just went fuzzy.

41
00:02:06,999 --> 00:02:07,831
[Becker] Affirmative.

42
00:02:07,833 --> 00:02:11,536
We're uploading a revised AI
plugin.

43
00:02:11,538 --> 00:02:13,604
[Roger] Last minute bug fixes?

44
00:02:13,606 --> 00:02:15,873
That's not very reassuring,
NASA.

45
00:02:15,875 --> 00:02:17,609
Please don't tell my wife.

46
00:02:17,611 --> 00:02:20,779
[Abigail] [laughing]
Hey, I'm still here.

47
00:02:20,781 --> 00:02:23,681
[Becker] She's the one
uploading the plugin.

48
00:02:23,683 --> 00:02:25,250
[Roger] Babe, a year and a
half

49
00:02:25,252 --> 00:02:27,921
and I'll be waking up at Titan.

50
00:02:29,056 --> 00:02:30,055
[Mission Control]
This is Mission Control,

51
00:02:30,057 --> 00:02:33,157
we are ready to begin
onboard systems check.

52
00:02:33,159 --> 00:02:35,259
[beeping]

53
00:02:35,261 --> 00:02:39,063
[Becker] Commander Nelson,
are you preparing for stasis?

54
00:02:39,065 --> 00:02:44,035
[Roger] Sorry, I'm currently
distracted by the view.

55
00:02:44,037 --> 00:02:46,003
Abigail, you know you should
really be

56
00:02:46,005 --> 00:02:48,139
a little nicer to Becker.

57
00:02:48,141 --> 00:02:49,007
Without him...

58
00:02:49,009 --> 00:02:49,873
[Abigail] I'd be watching the
launch

59
00:02:49,875 --> 00:02:52,877
with the rest of the civilians,
I know.

60
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:54,746
But sometimes Becker can be such
a...

61
00:02:54,748 --> 00:02:58,516
[Becker] Hey, hey, I'm still
here.

62
00:02:58,518 --> 00:02:59,418
[Mission Control] We have
a computer confirmation

63
00:02:59,420 --> 00:03:02,086
on the Magellan's current
trajectory.

64
00:03:02,088 --> 00:03:04,055
Nelson, can you give us
a manual confirmation

65
00:03:04,057 --> 00:03:06,160
of geosyn controller sync?

66
00:03:08,928 --> 00:03:10,929
[Becker] In my defense, it's
the Chinese who drove this

67
00:03:10,931 --> 00:03:13,264
launch timetable, not me.

68
00:03:13,266 --> 00:03:16,033
Well, they'll wish they
hadn't.

69
00:03:16,035 --> 00:03:17,035
However, this does seem to be

70
00:03:17,037 --> 00:03:19,571
more of a military
endeavor, now doesn't it?

71
00:03:19,573 --> 00:03:20,871
[Abigail] Friendly
competition for science,

72
00:03:20,873 --> 00:03:22,573
I've been assured.

73
00:03:22,575 --> 00:03:24,309
When will our advanced probe
reach Titan?

74
00:03:24,311 --> 00:03:25,911
Uh, that's classified
information.

75
00:03:25,913 --> 00:03:27,145
[Becker] Two days before he
does.

76
00:03:27,147 --> 00:03:28,680
[Abigail] Thank you, Becker.

77
00:03:28,682 --> 00:03:30,748
At least somebody tells
me what's going on.

78
00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:32,918
[Roger] Oh, don't you start
that, Babe.

79
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:33,985
[Mission Control] All
controller systems check out.

80
00:03:33,987 --> 00:03:38,590
We are go for gravity spin
in T minus two minutes.

81
00:03:38,592 --> 00:03:41,626
[Becker] Commander Nelson,
are you preparing for stasis?

82
00:03:41,628 --> 00:03:43,127
Ah, that's a negative.

83
00:03:43,129 --> 00:03:44,596
Currently distracted by the
view.

84
00:03:44,598 --> 00:03:45,697
["Mars" by VanLadyLove]

85
00:03:45,699 --> 00:03:47,164
I see you staring

86
00:03:47,166 --> 00:03:49,834
At rockets in the sky

87
00:03:49,836 --> 00:03:52,704

88
00:03:52,706 --> 00:03:54,004
Here's the last of them.

00:03:54,006 --> 00:03:55,273
Thank you.

90
00:03:55,275 --> 00:03:56,841
And NASA's on the phone.

91
00:03:56,843 --> 00:03:57,741
Really?

92
00:03:57,743 --> 00:03:58,612
Yeah.

93
00:04:00,046 --> 00:04:02,013
I need you to hold this.

94
00:04:02,015 --> 00:04:02,884
Thank you.

95
00:04:03,884 --> 00:04:05,783
Roger Nelson speaking.

96
00:04:05,785 --> 00:04:07,786
If it's Becker, tell him you
can't go.

97
00:04:07,788 --> 00:04:09,988
You can't miss your wife's
symposium.

98
00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:11,156
Yes, sir, no, yes.

99
00:04:11,158 --> 00:04:12,693
Tomorrow morning?

100
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,228
Yes, sir.

101
00:04:15,962 --> 00:04:18,763
You got it, 1000 hours?

102
00:04:18,765 --> 00:04:21,034
Okay, no, no, no, thank you.

103
00:04:23,803 --> 00:04:28,106
Becker says you're
gonna miss my symposium?

104
00:04:28,108 --> 00:04:29,777
It wasn't Becker.

105
00:04:31,077 --> 00:04:31,977
[sighs]

106
00:04:31,979 --> 00:04:34,078
I have a briefing.

107
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,179
You mean a...

108
00:04:35,181 --> 00:04:36,114
[Roger] A mission briefing.

109
00:04:36,116 --> 00:04:36,982
An actual space...

110
00:04:36,984 --> 00:04:38,650
Tomorrow morning.

111
00:04:38,652 --> 00:04:40,150
A mission briefing.

112
00:04:40,152 --> 00:04:41,852
[laughing]

113
00:04:41,854 --> 00:04:43,153
Oh, my gosh, can you believe it?

114
00:04:43,155 --> 00:04:44,022
Yeah.

115
00:04:44,024 --> 00:04:44,989
Hey Nelson.

116
00:04:44,991 --> 00:04:46,157
They finally sending
you off into space, man?

117
00:04:46,159 --> 00:04:48,660
Ah, it looks like it.

118
00:04:48,662 --> 00:04:49,931
Nice, oh yeah.

119
00:04:52,733 --> 00:04:54,802
[Roger] I sure hope so.

120
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,405
Hey, I'm sorry about the
symposium.

121
00:05:01,407 --> 00:05:03,842
Yeah, well NASA's in
trouble with your wife.

122
00:05:03,844 --> 00:05:04,712
Not me?

123
00:05:07,414 --> 00:05:08,282
Ah, man.

124
00:05:17,424 --> 00:05:20,758
Approximately 48 hours ago
SETI reported

125
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,028
a radio anomaly, picked up by
Arecibo.

126
00:05:24,030 --> 00:05:28,400
A low-frequency pulse,
repeating at constant intervals.

127
00:05:28,402 --> 00:05:33,003
Within minutes the VLA and
Atacama picked it up as well.

128
00:05:33,005 --> 00:05:35,809
That's when we started
listening.

129
00:05:38,779 --> 00:05:41,946
Matthew, can you please play it?

130
00:05:41,948 --> 00:05:45,019
[electrical pulsing]

131
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,453
That's some kind of pulsar?

132
00:05:49,455 --> 00:05:52,256
Yeah, that's what we thought
initially, as well, yes,

133
00:05:52,258 --> 00:05:54,861
but it's not on sidereal time.

134
00:05:56,462 --> 00:05:58,296
Then SETI reported a second
anomaly

135
00:05:58,298 --> 00:06:00,931
at a higher radio frequency.

136
00:06:00,933 --> 00:06:03,001
And then a third showed up.

137
00:06:03,003 --> 00:06:04,404
Even higher still.

138
00:06:07,808 --> 00:06:10,878
[electrical pulsing]

139
00:06:12,813 --> 00:06:15,880
[laughing]

140
00:06:15,882 --> 00:06:20,021
And they've been transmitting
constantly ever since.

141
00:06:20,887 --> 00:06:23,153
After we picked up the third
signal,

142
00:06:23,155 --> 00:06:26,256
I realized that the
second pulse is exactly

143
00:06:26,258 --> 00:06:29,359
four semitones higher
in pitch than the first.

144
00:06:29,361 --> 00:06:33,700
And the third is exactly seven
semitones higher in pitch.

145
00:06:34,467 --> 00:06:35,335
Hmm?

146
00:06:37,770 --> 00:06:39,436
Play them together.

147
00:06:39,438 --> 00:06:42,708
[musical chord pulsing]

148
00:06:46,779 --> 00:06:48,412
I'm sorry, a second
ago you used the word

149
00:06:48,414 --> 00:06:50,347
transmitting, not emitting.

150
00:06:50,349 --> 00:06:51,749
Yes, yes, yes I did,

151
00:06:51,751 --> 00:06:53,951
and for good reason.

152
00:06:53,953 --> 00:06:57,090
Do you hear that sound Captain
Nelson?

153
00:06:59,392 --> 00:07:02,326
In musical theory, that is what
they call

154
00:07:02,328 --> 00:07:04,799
a perfect tonal major triad.

155
00:07:07,967 --> 00:07:10,371
It's space music, essentially.

156
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,843
The signals are artificial.

157
00:07:17,042 --> 00:07:18,376
So you're saying that someone

158
00:07:18,378 --> 00:07:21,716
from across the galaxy sent us a
song?

159
00:07:22,883 --> 00:07:25,183
Based on what we know now...

160
00:07:25,185 --> 00:07:26,721
Essentially, yes.

161
00:07:31,558 --> 00:07:33,792
That's incredible.

162
00:07:33,794 --> 00:07:36,126
Where are they coming from?

163
00:07:36,128 --> 00:07:39,397
That's where it gets
interesting.

164
00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:40,265
So the computers did the math

165
00:07:40,267 --> 00:07:42,066
and we found out that all the
signals

166
00:07:42,068 --> 00:07:45,306
are coming from within our solar
system.

167
00:07:47,174 --> 00:07:48,373
I'm sorry, what?

168
00:07:48,375 --> 00:07:50,174
[laughing]

169
00:07:50,176 --> 00:07:53,046
Captain Nelson, these are
local.

170
00:07:54,113 --> 00:07:55,446
We traced the radio signals

171
00:07:55,448 --> 00:07:57,414
to three separate points of
origin.

172
00:07:57,416 --> 00:08:00,150
The first, is transmitting
from Saturn's moon, Titan.

173
00:08:00,152 --> 00:08:02,287
The second From Neptune's moon,
Triton.

174
00:08:02,289 --> 00:08:05,825
And the third, from the dwarf
plant Eris.

175
00:08:09,262 --> 00:08:10,195
Eris?

176
00:08:10,197 --> 00:08:13,131
Uh huh, yes, the signals
probably began

177
00:08:13,133 --> 00:08:15,532
transmitting at the same
time, but Eris and Triton

178
00:08:15,534 --> 00:08:18,472
are four and half light hours
away.

179
00:08:20,873 --> 00:08:22,208
How, I mean...

180
00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:25,342
How do we suddenly start
getting these signals

181
00:08:25,344 --> 00:08:29,015
transmitted to us from
all these locations?

182
00:08:30,183 --> 00:08:31,452
We don't know.

183
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,457
But that's where you come in.

184
00:08:39,259 --> 00:08:41,024
Secretary Stewart.

185
00:08:41,026 --> 00:08:43,360
The mission will be to fly
to each of these locations

186
00:08:43,362 --> 00:08:46,263
to discover the exact
source of the signals,

187
00:08:46,265 --> 00:08:47,865
collect samples and if possible,

188
00:08:47,867 --> 00:08:49,533
the transmitters themselves.

189
00:08:49,535 --> 00:08:54,305
We need an astronaut with the
right background for the job.

190
00:08:54,307 --> 00:08:57,378
And you, Captain Nelson, are our
man.

191
00:08:59,980 --> 00:09:01,013
Let me get this right.

192
00:09:01,015 --> 00:09:04,983
You want me to fly a
manned mission to Saturn?

193
00:09:04,985 --> 00:09:06,884
Actually, we need you
to fly a manned mission

194
00:09:06,886 --> 00:09:09,155
to Saturn, Neptune and Eris.

195
00:09:12,158 --> 00:09:14,228
Yes, sir, I'm your man.

196
00:09:15,562 --> 00:09:18,028
What's the spacecraft?

197
00:09:18,030 --> 00:09:18,965
The X-57.

198
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,167
But the X-57's not
outfitted for deep space,

199
00:09:23,169 --> 00:09:24,034
I thought that we're way...

200
00:09:24,036 --> 00:09:27,307
It will be, in two and a half
years.

201
00:09:28,174 --> 00:09:32,313
Captain Nelson, these
signals, whatever they are,

202
00:09:33,413 --> 00:09:36,915
have created quite the buzz
in the scientific community

203
00:09:36,917 --> 00:09:38,853
and in the DOD as well.

204
00:09:39,552 --> 00:09:42,519
What started out as the
scientific find of the century,

205
00:09:42,521 --> 00:09:45,956
has quickly become an
issue of national defense.

206
00:09:45,958 --> 00:09:48,625
The ideal window for launch
would be eight years from now.

207
00:09:48,627 --> 00:09:51,561
But there is a less ideal,
but still manageable,

208
00:09:51,563 --> 00:09:54,032
window, two and a half years
from now.

209
00:09:54,034 --> 00:09:57,368
And intel has just come to
us that says the Chinese

210
00:09:57,370 --> 00:09:58,970
are shooting for that.

211
00:09:58,972 --> 00:10:00,171
Okay, so we're racing the
Chinese

212
00:10:00,173 --> 00:10:02,473
to these unknown transmitters?

213
00:10:02,475 --> 00:10:05,109
That's fairly accurate, yes.

214
00:10:05,111 --> 00:10:06,610
Most of the space exploration
community

215
00:10:06,612 --> 00:10:10,047
is behind us on this, because
we have the infrastructure

216
00:10:10,049 --> 00:10:11,316
to pull it off.

217
00:10:11,318 --> 00:10:13,551
Between the feds and foreign
governments,

218
00:10:13,553 --> 00:10:17,689
we have billions of dollars
pledged to perfect stasis tech.

219
00:10:17,691 --> 00:10:20,358
And the Chinese, seem to want
these things

220
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,326
for themselves, whatever they
are.

221
00:10:22,328 --> 00:10:24,329
Of course, I'll do whatever it
takes.

222
00:10:24,331 --> 00:10:26,196
But if you don't mind me asking,

223
00:10:26,198 --> 00:10:29,099
Mr. Secretary, why not just send
probes?

224
00:10:29,101 --> 00:10:30,534
Well, we are looking
into the feasibility

225
00:10:30,536 --> 00:10:34,238
of sending an advance probe
to collect survey data,

226
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,474
but this mission is too
important to trust

227
00:10:36,476 --> 00:10:38,542
to remote operation or and AI.

228
00:10:38,544 --> 00:10:39,744
Nelson, we're not just asking
you

229
00:10:39,746 --> 00:10:42,082
to go to some distant rock

230
00:10:43,216 --> 00:10:46,383
in the the hope of collecting
scientific data here.

231
00:10:46,385 --> 00:10:47,685
Whatever those things are,

232
00:10:47,687 --> 00:10:50,253
it was put there for a reason.

233
00:10:50,255 --> 00:10:52,322
We need real-time decision
making.

234
00:10:52,324 --> 00:10:54,658
Humanity's outstretched hand.

235
00:10:54,660 --> 00:10:56,426
We're talking bout the real
possibility

236
00:10:56,428 --> 00:10:59,033
of first contact here, Nelson.

237
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:05,505
We want you to be Earth's
ambassador, scientist,

238
00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:09,375
investigator and advanced scout.

239
00:11:13,112 --> 00:11:14,545
Yes, sir.

240
00:11:14,547 --> 00:11:15,713
What's the mission duration?

241
00:11:15,715 --> 00:11:17,181
Well, it's approximately 10
years,

242
00:11:17,183 --> 00:11:19,484
but the good news is that you
will be

243
00:11:19,486 --> 00:11:21,688
in stasis most of the time.

244
00:11:24,491 --> 00:11:25,690
Of course, your wife

245
00:11:25,692 --> 00:11:29,060
will have to remain here the
whole time.

246
00:11:29,062 --> 00:11:32,397
Which is why, despite your
record as a duty-bound pilot,

247
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:34,165
Becker insisted we give you the
option

248
00:11:34,167 --> 00:11:36,236
to refuse the assignment.

249
00:11:38,771 --> 00:11:40,705
[sighs]

250
00:11:40,707 --> 00:11:45,044
Refuse the greatest discovery
since the birth of mankind?

251
00:11:45,779 --> 00:11:47,581
No sir, I'm your man.

252
00:11:50,549 --> 00:11:54,087
Don't worry about Abigail,
she'll manage.

253
00:11:56,588 --> 00:11:58,723
[Stewart] Well, if you're
certain,

254
00:11:58,725 --> 00:12:00,624
let's continue the briefing.

255
00:12:00,626 --> 00:12:02,325
[Becker] Secretary
Stewart's just informed me

256
00:12:02,327 --> 00:12:04,695
that the Chinese launch has
been delayed for 24 hours

257
00:12:04,697 --> 00:12:06,096
due to inclement weather.

258
00:12:06,098 --> 00:12:07,798
I bet Secretary Stewart's
happy.

259
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,667
[Mission Control] Your
vital signs check out.

260
00:12:09,669 --> 00:12:12,769
You may enter the stasis box
when ready.

261
00:12:12,771 --> 00:12:15,572
I hate the stasis box.

262
00:12:15,574 --> 00:12:17,075
You know how weird it's gonna be

263
00:12:17,077 --> 00:12:18,375
to be asleep for 18 months

264
00:12:18,377 --> 00:12:19,777
and not have a dream?

265
00:12:19,779 --> 00:12:21,612
[Abigail] Whatever,
You Won't Even Notice.

266
00:12:21,614 --> 00:12:23,346
I'm the one who's stuck
down here, remember?

267
00:12:23,348 --> 00:12:25,383
Right, my apologies, babe.

268
00:12:25,385 --> 00:12:26,651
Hey NASA, did I fail to mention

269
00:12:26,653 --> 00:12:30,287
that I hate tight spaces as
well?

270
00:12:30,289 --> 00:12:33,423
[Becker] Then you've
chosen the wrong job.

271
00:12:33,425 --> 00:12:35,526
[water running]

272
00:12:35,528 --> 00:12:38,399
[dishes clanking]

273
00:12:41,634 --> 00:12:43,868
What do you think you're
doing, Roger?

274
00:12:43,870 --> 00:12:46,470
You just signed away
10 years of your life.

275
00:12:46,472 --> 00:12:48,572
Our lives, my life.

276
00:12:48,574 --> 00:12:49,739
What do you expect me to do

277
00:12:49,741 --> 00:12:52,143
the whole time you're gone?

278
00:12:52,145 --> 00:12:53,377
Tell Becker you can't go.

279
00:12:53,379 --> 00:12:55,580
Abigail, I've never
even questioned orders,

280
00:12:55,582 --> 00:12:56,781
let alone refused them.

281
00:12:56,783 --> 00:12:57,581
And now I get a chance

282
00:12:57,583 --> 00:13:01,219
to do something really
important.

283
00:13:01,221 --> 00:13:05,359
And you want me to tell the
Secretary of Defense no?

284
00:13:08,327 --> 00:13:09,359
You knew what we were getting
into

285
00:13:09,361 --> 00:13:11,262
when we signed up for this.

286
00:13:11,264 --> 00:13:13,797
You knew, you knew when we got
into this.

287
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:14,733
You were okay ...-

288
00:13:14,735 --> 00:13:15,300
- That's because I thought you
might die!

289
00:13:15,302 --> 00:13:16,167
You were okay with it!

290
00:13:16,169 --> 00:13:17,869
I didn't think you would get
shipped

291
00:13:17,871 --> 00:13:20,774
across the solar system for 10
years!

292
00:13:24,276 --> 00:13:25,746
Well, guess what.

293
00:13:27,212 --> 00:13:27,878
What?

294
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,616
I still might die.

295
00:13:31,317 --> 00:13:32,182
[sighs]

296
00:13:32,184 --> 00:13:33,250
So just like that?

297
00:13:33,252 --> 00:13:35,521
Because Stewart requests it?

298
00:13:38,725 --> 00:13:40,490
You don't have to blindly follow

299
00:13:40,492 --> 00:13:42,593
everything they tell you, you
know.

300
00:13:42,595 --> 00:13:45,265
You could follow your own path.

301
00:13:52,672 --> 00:13:53,539
Hey.

302
00:13:57,409 --> 00:13:58,278
Come here.

303
00:14:02,948 --> 00:14:04,418
This is my path.

304
00:14:05,784 --> 00:14:08,188
It's all I ever dreamed of.

305
00:14:09,789 --> 00:14:11,324
I know, I know.

306
00:14:17,329 --> 00:14:20,364
Hey, I just need to know

307
00:14:20,366 --> 00:14:23,303
that you're gonna be there with
me.

308
00:14:31,510 --> 00:14:32,846
The entire way.

309
00:14:53,299 --> 00:14:54,431
[machine hissing]

310
00:14:54,433 --> 00:14:55,498
Hey Becker, you'll take care
of Abbie

311
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:56,332
for me, right?

312
00:14:56,334 --> 00:14:57,435
[Becker] If, by taking care
of,

313
00:14:57,437 --> 00:14:59,903
you mean making sure she
can get into Mission Control

314
00:14:59,905 --> 00:15:02,306
anytime she wants, then yes.

315
00:15:02,308 --> 00:15:04,609
[Abigail] I'll be fine,
you take care of yourself.

316
00:15:04,611 --> 00:15:05,676
[Roger] I will.

317
00:15:05,678 --> 00:15:07,311
I'll be careful, Abigail.

318
00:15:07,313 --> 00:15:10,614
Besides, that's what I got
Ferdinand for, remember?

319
00:15:10,616 --> 00:15:12,282
I love you.

320
00:15:12,284 --> 00:15:13,917
[Abigail] You better
come home Roger Nelson,

321
00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:14,887
you hear me?

322
00:15:16,322 --> 00:15:17,191
Come home.

323
00:15:26,566 --> 00:15:29,369
[dramatic music]

324
00:15:34,807 --> 00:15:35,676
Ahh!

325
00:15:50,689 --> 00:15:53,456
[grunting]

326
00:15:53,458 --> 00:15:57,263
[Ferdinand] Good
morning, Commander Nelson.

327
00:16:02,434 --> 00:16:04,534
Good morning, Ferdinand.

328
00:16:04,536 --> 00:16:07,373
[Ferdinand] How are you
feeling?

329
00:16:15,715 --> 00:16:16,547
I'll be feeling a whole lot
better

330
00:16:16,549 --> 00:16:18,983
once I get these tubes out of my
arm.

331
00:16:18,985 --> 00:16:20,584
[Ferdinand] Very good.

332
00:16:20,586 --> 00:16:24,725
Please proceed with attaching
your health monitors.

333
00:16:25,692 --> 00:16:27,427
[Roger] Thank you.

334
00:16:30,529 --> 00:16:33,630
Ferdinand, give me a complete
systems report, please.

335
00:16:33,632 --> 00:16:35,733
[Ferdinand] All systems
are currently nominal.

336
00:16:35,735 --> 00:16:38,101
Number of single event upsets,
total six,

337
00:16:38,103 --> 00:16:39,570
with minor software corruption

338
00:16:39,572 --> 00:16:41,672
and zero hardware malfunctions.

339
00:16:41,674 --> 00:16:44,008
Software corrected without
incident.

340
00:16:44,010 --> 00:16:46,409
What's our current position,
and ETA?

341
00:16:46,411 --> 00:16:48,345
[Ferdinand] We are
approximately 8.49

342
00:16:48,347 --> 00:16:50,480
astronomical units from Earth.

343
00:16:50,482 --> 00:16:52,550
We will be intersecting
Saturn's planetary orbit

344
00:16:52,552 --> 00:16:54,551
in less than 24 hours.

345
00:16:54,553 --> 00:16:55,519
Good.

346
00:16:55,521 --> 00:16:57,588
What are we getting
from the advanced probe?

347
00:16:57,590 --> 00:17:00,056
[Ferdinand] It has completed
orbital survey successfully.

348
00:17:00,058 --> 00:17:02,692
I am processing the data now.

349
00:17:02,694 --> 00:17:04,728
How many dispatches do I have
from NASA?

350
00:17:04,730 --> 00:17:06,332
[Ferdinand] 229.

351
00:17:07,533 --> 00:17:08,898
How many?

352
00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:11,435
[Ferdinand] 229, sir.

353
00:17:11,437 --> 00:17:14,504
And how many of those
are designated important?

354
00:17:14,506 --> 00:17:16,706
[Ferdinand] All of them.

355
00:17:16,708 --> 00:17:18,711
[sighs]

356
00:17:22,849 --> 00:17:25,652
[computer beeps]

357
00:17:26,619 --> 00:17:28,651
Are you awake yet?

358
00:17:28,653 --> 00:17:30,087
I'm getting desperate.

359
00:17:30,089 --> 00:17:30,957
NF3.

360
00:17:32,691 --> 00:17:34,493
I'll be here all day.

361
00:17:38,864 --> 00:17:39,999
Oh, it's on.

362
00:17:54,546 --> 00:17:55,481
F3, really?

363
00:18:03,188 --> 00:18:06,823
I see your F3 and I raise you
D5.

364
00:18:06,825 --> 00:18:09,695
[clicks keyboard]

365
00:18:10,796 --> 00:18:11,664
Hmm.

366
00:18:12,564 --> 00:18:14,631
Hey Ferd, what's the
transmission time?

367
00:18:14,633 --> 00:18:15,632
Hour and twenty minutes?

368
00:18:15,634 --> 00:18:17,167
[Ferdinand] One hour
and fourteen minutes.

369
00:18:17,169 --> 00:18:18,936
But in your wife's timezone on
Earth,

370
00:18:18,938 --> 00:18:20,071
it's two o'clock in the morning.

371
00:18:20,073 --> 00:18:22,639
Would you like to play a
faster game of chess with me?

372
00:18:22,641 --> 00:18:23,843
No thank you.

373
00:18:25,044 --> 00:18:27,144
It's the human element that
matters here.

374
00:18:27,146 --> 00:18:28,212
[clicking keyboard]

375
00:18:28,214 --> 00:18:30,080
Besides, I gotta get
through all these dispatches

376
00:18:30,082 --> 00:18:31,685
before NASA calls.

377
00:18:32,717 --> 00:18:33,716
Will you do me a favor?

378
00:18:33,718 --> 00:18:35,552
Let me know when we pass
Saturn's orbital path.

379
00:18:35,554 --> 00:18:36,719
[Ferdinand] Yes, sir.

380
00:18:36,721 --> 00:18:37,723
Thank you.

381
00:18:41,460 --> 00:18:42,128
F3 Really?

382
00:18:43,929 --> 00:18:44,795
Here's one, Ferd.

383
00:18:44,797 --> 00:18:48,198
Becker forwarded me a video from
the CNSA

384
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,069
congratulating us on a
successful launch.

385
00:18:52,071 --> 00:18:55,175
Chinese government must be
pretty mad.

386
00:18:56,108 --> 00:18:57,107
[Ferdinand] Another dispatch
states

387
00:18:57,109 --> 00:18:59,476
that they have delayed
the launch for a year.

388
00:18:59,478 --> 00:19:00,144
They have announced that they
will be

389
00:19:00,146 --> 00:19:02,146
on trajectory for Neptune.

390
00:19:02,148 --> 00:19:03,015
Hmm.

391
00:19:04,583 --> 00:19:08,551
So they're skipping Titan
altogether, huh?

392
00:19:08,553 --> 00:19:09,986
Interesting.

393
00:19:09,988 --> 00:19:12,255
Wonder if that's gonna change
our orders.

394
00:19:12,257 --> 00:19:15,225
[Ferdinand] Currently, we
are to proceed as ordered.

395
00:19:15,227 --> 00:19:17,494
So do you read all my emails?

396
00:19:17,496 --> 00:19:18,829
[Ferdinand] All
transmissions must be sent

397
00:19:18,831 --> 00:19:20,164
through our encrypted channel,

398
00:19:20,166 --> 00:19:22,899
which the central computer must
decode.

399
00:19:22,901 --> 00:19:23,701
So, yes.

400
00:19:23,703 --> 00:19:25,668
Although I'm programmed to
ignore

401
00:19:25,670 --> 00:19:28,272
any message marked classified.

402
00:19:28,274 --> 00:19:30,206
Good to know.

403
00:19:30,208 --> 00:19:30,907
[Ferdinand] Sir, we will reach

404
00:19:30,909 --> 00:19:33,647
our trajectory in 10 minutes.

405
00:19:34,813 --> 00:19:37,883
Alright, Ferd, let's rock and
roll.

406
00:19:39,217 --> 00:19:41,185
[Ferdinand] Target will
be achieved in one minute.

407
00:19:41,187 --> 00:19:43,686
There was a slight overshot
in our trajectory curve.

408
00:19:43,688 --> 00:19:44,855
NASA recommends we be ready

409
00:19:44,857 --> 00:19:47,291
to fire additional retro rockets
manually.

410
00:19:47,293 --> 00:19:48,391
Do you want me to handle
that or shall I...

411
00:19:48,393 --> 00:19:51,529
Just make sure the
retrogrades are primed, please.

412
00:19:51,531 --> 00:19:52,464
[Ferdinand] Certainly.

413
00:19:52,466 --> 00:19:54,598
But I need to confirm that
order, please.

414
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,871
Confirmed, I'll control them
manually.

415
00:19:59,138 --> 00:20:00,538
[Ferdinand] Check complete.

416
00:20:00,540 --> 00:20:01,972
All system ready.

417
00:20:01,974 --> 00:20:05,645
Entering orbit in ten, nine,
eight, seven,

418
00:20:06,778 --> 00:20:10,916
six, five, four, advise
slight adjustment, nose left.

419
00:20:18,823 --> 00:20:21,227
Beginning roll maneuver now.

420
00:20:36,141 --> 00:20:38,609
[Ferdinand] Orbit achieved,
stable.

421
00:20:38,611 --> 00:20:40,711
We are in orbit around Titan.

422
00:20:40,713 --> 00:20:41,978
Taking thrusters offline.

423
00:20:41,980 --> 00:20:44,917
[computer beeping]

424
00:20:46,686 --> 00:20:49,890
[thrusters power down]

425
00:20:53,292 --> 00:20:54,657
Tell me what I'm looking at,
Ferd.

426
00:20:54,659 --> 00:20:55,892
[Ferdinand] These are images

427
00:20:55,894 --> 00:20:57,293
of the Northern polar regions of
Titan,

428
00:20:57,295 --> 00:20:58,728
which is covered by numerous
lakes

429
00:20:58,730 --> 00:21:00,263
of liquid methane and ethane.

430
00:21:00,265 --> 00:21:01,932
The advance probe survey
was able to pinpoint

431
00:21:01,934 --> 00:21:03,801
the source of the first signal

432
00:21:03,803 --> 00:21:06,770
to within four kilometers near
the lake called Punga Mare.

433
00:21:06,772 --> 00:21:07,972
[Roger] So these are the ice
flats here?

434
00:21:07,974 --> 00:21:09,040
[Ferdinand] Affirmative.

435
00:21:09,042 --> 00:21:10,741
I think this is gonna
be our best place to land,

436
00:21:10,743 --> 00:21:12,609
assuming that the ground
is gonna be solid enough.

437
00:21:12,611 --> 00:21:13,477
[Ferdinand] The ground is
solid.

438
00:21:13,479 --> 00:21:15,346
Surface temperature is
approximately

439
00:21:15,348 --> 00:21:17,246
negative 178 degrees Celsius.

440
00:21:17,248 --> 00:21:19,148
Negative 178, that's it?

441
00:21:19,150 --> 00:21:20,984
So I should probably wear
a spacesuit for this one?

442
00:21:20,986 --> 00:21:23,087
[Ferdinand] That would
be advisable for survival.

443
00:21:23,089 --> 00:21:25,723
[laughs] Okay, Ferd, got it.

444
00:21:25,725 --> 00:21:26,690
Still four kilometers.

445
00:21:26,692 --> 00:21:28,859
That's not a small area
to wandering around

446
00:21:28,861 --> 00:21:30,196
on an alien moon.

447
00:21:31,330 --> 00:21:32,263
So, I'm thinking our best bet's

448
00:21:32,265 --> 00:21:33,296
gonna be to land right here in
the middle

449
00:21:33,298 --> 00:21:36,634
and hopefully get a
better bead on the signal.

450
00:21:36,636 --> 00:21:38,034
What's our window for Neptune?

451
00:21:38,036 --> 00:21:39,802
[Ferdinand] We have an
ideal six hour window, sir.

452
00:21:39,804 --> 00:21:40,838
Six hour.

453
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:41,538
[Ferdinand] After
that, we will have to dip

454
00:21:41,540 --> 00:21:43,907
into ion thruster reserve fuel.

455
00:21:43,909 --> 00:21:47,744
However, if the land is
close enough to the lake here,

456
00:21:47,746 --> 00:21:50,914
we can save time on refueling
the lander.

457
00:21:50,916 --> 00:21:52,249
If I can drop a line in the
lake,

458
00:21:52,251 --> 00:21:54,717
we won't have to do
methane air extraction.

459
00:21:54,719 --> 00:21:55,953
Is that feasible, Ferd?

460
00:21:55,955 --> 00:21:58,856
[Ferdinand] Yes, as long as
impurities remain under 6%.

461
00:21:58,858 --> 00:22:01,324
Which we won't know until
we land and I get a hose in.

462
00:22:01,326 --> 00:22:02,959
[tapping]

463
00:22:02,961 --> 00:22:07,196
However, could save us
three to four hours.

464
00:22:07,198 --> 00:22:09,198
I say it's worth a
shot, Ferd, let's do it.

465
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,034
What's our entry window for
Titan?

466
00:22:11,036 --> 00:22:12,770
[Ferdinand] In twelve minutes.

467
00:22:12,772 --> 00:22:13,436
Good.

468
00:22:13,438 --> 00:22:14,738
Any change in signal?

469
00:22:14,740 --> 00:22:17,374
[Ferdinand] It is still
transmitting at regular intervals.

470
00:22:17,376 --> 00:22:18,574
Good, stay on top of it,
please.

471
00:22:18,576 --> 00:22:20,944
[Ferdinand] Sir, we have
received a video transmission

472
00:22:20,946 --> 00:22:22,111
from Mission Control.

473
00:22:22,113 --> 00:22:25,384
Okay, throw it up on the main
console.

474
00:22:26,686 --> 00:22:28,221
Ready, okay begin.

475
00:22:29,220 --> 00:22:32,055
Commander Nelson,
congratulations

476
00:22:32,057 --> 00:22:34,224
on your safe arrival at Titan.

477
00:22:34,226 --> 00:22:37,363
It is a landmark in human
exploration.

478
00:22:38,397 --> 00:22:42,198
Abigail wanted me to
congratulate you as well.

479
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,434
I tried to convince her to come
down here

480
00:22:43,436 --> 00:22:46,803
and talk to you herself, but
she's...

481
00:22:46,805 --> 00:22:47,705
How do I put it?

482
00:22:47,707 --> 00:22:50,440
She's a little stressed out
right now.

483
00:22:50,442 --> 00:22:53,310
Something happened earlier this
month

484
00:22:53,312 --> 00:22:54,179
and she's...

485
00:22:56,314 --> 00:22:59,852
She's really having a bit of a
breakdown.

486
00:23:01,286 --> 00:23:03,853
She recorded part of a message,

487
00:23:03,855 --> 00:23:05,355
and she tried to delete it,

488
00:23:05,357 --> 00:23:09,696
but I think you should hear
her talking to you honestly.

489
00:23:11,162 --> 00:23:12,995
I'll send it to you after you
get

490
00:23:12,997 --> 00:23:15,165
reconnected with the Magellan.

491
00:23:15,167 --> 00:23:17,100
I don't want anything
distracting you right now

492
00:23:17,102 --> 00:23:19,104
at this critical moment.

493
00:23:20,939 --> 00:23:25,141
I really shouldn't even be
talking to you about this, sorry.

494
00:23:25,143 --> 00:23:27,977
Your primary mission is to find
out

495
00:23:27,979 --> 00:23:30,379
what is sending that signal.

496
00:23:30,381 --> 00:23:32,916
Whatever it is, it's there for a
reason.

497
00:23:32,918 --> 00:23:34,784
And once you've located it,

498
00:23:34,786 --> 00:23:37,056
we may just have a clue why.

499
00:23:39,358 --> 00:23:40,894
Good luck, Roger.

500
00:23:45,264 --> 00:23:46,463
Thanks a lot, Becker.

501
00:23:46,465 --> 00:23:49,132
If you shouldn't be talking
to me about it, then don't.

502
00:23:49,134 --> 00:23:50,202
Stay on task.

503
00:23:51,469 --> 00:23:53,472
Alright, Ferd, let's go.

504
00:23:55,373 --> 00:23:57,976
[engines hum]

505
00:24:05,184 --> 00:24:07,253
Engaging docking release.

506
00:24:13,092 --> 00:24:13,959
Undocked.

507
00:24:20,832 --> 00:24:21,898
[Ferdinand] Captain Nelson.

508
00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:24,568
Due to probable data relay
issues during landing,

509
00:24:24,570 --> 00:24:27,103
I'd like to remind you
the X-57 is been equipped

510
00:24:27,105 --> 00:24:29,039
with a separate AI named Neil.

511
00:24:29,041 --> 00:24:33,142
Neil will engage while
the lander is detached.

512
00:24:33,144 --> 00:24:35,078
[Neil] Hello Commander Nelson,

513
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,380
this is Neil.
[bubbly female voice]

514
00:24:37,382 --> 00:24:38,985
Uh, hello, Neil.

515
00:24:40,419 --> 00:24:44,855
I'm sorry, I wasn't
expecting you to sound so...

516
00:24:44,857 --> 00:24:46,223
Enthusiastic.

517
00:24:46,225 --> 00:24:48,192
[Neil] It's for morale,
Commander.

518
00:24:48,194 --> 00:24:49,262
For morale.

519
00:24:50,196 --> 00:24:52,596
Abigail programmed you, didn't
she?

520
00:24:52,598 --> 00:24:54,097
[Neil] Possibly.

521
00:24:54,099 --> 00:24:56,599
Yep, sounds like her.

522
00:24:56,601 --> 00:24:59,371
[dramatic music]

523
00:25:01,573 --> 00:25:03,240
[Ferdinand] Radio will be
experiencing

524
00:25:03,242 --> 00:25:05,042
static interruption...

525
00:25:05,044 --> 00:25:06,109
[Neil] Commander, this is
Neil.

526
00:25:06,111 --> 00:25:08,212
Due to entry velocity and
atmospheric conditions,

527
00:25:08,214 --> 00:25:11,380
we've temporarily lost radio
contact with the Magellan.

528
00:25:11,382 --> 00:25:13,850
We are also experiencing some
turbulence.

529
00:25:13,852 --> 00:25:16,587
But all systems are nominal.

530
00:25:16,589 --> 00:25:18,288
[Roger] Thanks, I guess.

531
00:25:18,290 --> 00:25:21,027
[Neil] Just doing my job, sir.

532
00:25:22,261 --> 00:25:26,230
[Roger] [breathing
heavy] I swear, Abigail.

533
00:25:26,232 --> 00:25:29,632
[dramatic music]

534
00:25:29,634 --> 00:25:31,568
We're coming in to the landing
area.

535
00:25:31,570 --> 00:25:35,339
Neil, I need the location
on the lake, please.

536
00:25:35,341 --> 00:25:39,243
Give me a visual target
of the West shoreline.

537
00:25:39,245 --> 00:25:41,043
Right there.

538
00:25:41,045 --> 00:25:42,111
Okay, we're coming in too hot,

539
00:25:42,113 --> 00:25:44,214
we need to slow it down.

540
00:25:44,216 --> 00:25:46,382
I'm gonna engage the landing
cycle.

541
00:25:46,384 --> 00:25:47,252
Engaging.

542
00:25:49,053 --> 00:25:50,888
Prime the VTOL thrusters, Neil.

543
00:25:50,890 --> 00:25:51,988
[Neil] Roger that, Commander.

544
00:25:51,990 --> 00:25:53,490
Priming VTOLs now.

545
00:25:53,492 --> 00:25:55,125
[Roger] We're almost in the
target area.

546
00:25:55,127 --> 00:25:56,525
Here we go now.

547
00:25:56,527 --> 00:25:58,463
Firing retro thrusters.

548
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,634
[Neil] VTOL engines are
primed.

549
00:26:03,636 --> 00:26:06,102
[Roger] Engage VTOLs.

550
00:26:06,104 --> 00:26:08,974
[Neil] Copy that, VTOLs
engaged.

551
00:26:12,378 --> 00:26:15,044
[Roger] Deploying landing gear
now.

552
00:26:15,046 --> 00:26:16,915
Landing gear deployed.

553
00:26:18,284 --> 00:26:20,216
Stay on target.

554
00:26:20,218 --> 00:26:21,353
Nice and easy.

555
00:26:23,988 --> 00:26:27,259
[Neil] Distance to target, 200
meters.

556
00:26:28,627 --> 00:26:31,661
Distance to target 100 meters.

557
00:26:31,663 --> 00:26:32,696
[Roger] Slow and easy.

558
00:26:32,698 --> 00:26:34,497
Slow and easy.

559
00:26:34,499 --> 00:26:36,132
[Neil] 50 meters.

560
00:26:36,134 --> 00:26:37,567
30 meters.

561
00:26:37,569 --> 00:26:39,136
10 meters.

562
00:26:39,138 --> 00:26:41,407
Five, four, three, two, one.

563
00:26:46,078 --> 00:26:46,744
Touchdown.

564
00:26:46,746 --> 00:26:48,378
We have touchdown on Titan.

565
00:26:48,380 --> 00:26:51,316
[computer beeping]

566
00:26:56,522 --> 00:26:57,590
Yes, we do.

567
00:27:13,138 --> 00:27:15,942
[wind whistling]

568
00:27:24,315 --> 00:27:27,185
[breathing heavy]

569
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,021
[sensor beeping]

570
00:28:04,023 --> 00:28:04,690
Alright.

571
00:28:21,273 --> 00:28:22,505
Looks like the signal's coming

572
00:28:22,507 --> 00:28:25,178
from a Northeasterly direction.

573
00:28:26,644 --> 00:28:30,983
Which puts me more or less
parallel to the shoreline.

574
00:28:32,316 --> 00:28:34,684
Wanna get a hose in, get some
samples,

575
00:28:34,686 --> 00:28:36,052
and head out.

576
00:28:36,054 --> 00:28:39,121
[Neil] Copy that, Commander.

577
00:28:39,123 --> 00:28:41,326
[splashes]

578
00:29:08,754 --> 00:29:11,353
[Roger] We're getting closer.

579
00:29:11,355 --> 00:29:12,621
[Neil] Commander, this is
Neil.

580
00:29:12,623 --> 00:29:13,723
[Roger] Copy that, go ahead.

581
00:29:13,725 --> 00:29:14,557
[Neil] Ferdinand is reporting

582
00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:15,658
a storm approaching from the
East,

583
00:29:15,660 --> 00:29:18,427
with high winds and significant
danger of combustion

584
00:29:18,429 --> 00:29:20,563
due to evaporated methane.

585
00:29:20,565 --> 00:29:22,499
[Roger] I'm getting close,
Neil.

586
00:29:22,501 --> 00:29:23,636
Hang in there.

587
00:29:24,602 --> 00:29:25,470
Come on.

588
00:29:30,441 --> 00:29:31,741
Oh, shoot.

589
00:29:31,743 --> 00:29:34,213
[Neil] I didn't copy that.

590
00:29:36,114 --> 00:29:39,419
Signal's coming directly from
the lake.

591
00:29:45,290 --> 00:29:48,190
Well, I wasn't planning on
getting wet.

592
00:29:48,192 --> 00:29:50,760
Neil, any idea how this suit

593
00:29:50,762 --> 00:29:53,562
will stand up to submersion
in liquid methane?

594
00:29:53,564 --> 00:29:55,866
[Neil] It's designed to
withstand the vacuum of space

595
00:29:55,868 --> 00:29:59,436
so as long as you don't
rupture it, you should be okay.

596
00:29:59,438 --> 00:30:00,736
You'll sink much more quickly

597
00:30:00,738 --> 00:30:02,505
but Titan's low gravity should
allow you

598
00:30:02,507 --> 00:30:04,643
to climb out again easily.

599
00:30:06,644 --> 00:30:08,911
Okay, well I don't
suppose there's any way

600
00:30:08,913 --> 00:30:11,380
to get the topography on the
lake's floor,

601
00:30:11,382 --> 00:30:12,916
see how deep it gets.

602
00:30:12,918 --> 00:30:15,588
[Neil] No sir, not from here.

603
00:30:17,156 --> 00:30:17,821
[sighs]

604
00:30:17,823 --> 00:30:18,690
Okay.

605
00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:22,359
I guess I'm just gonna take the
plunge.

606
00:30:22,361 --> 00:30:24,727
[Neil] Good luck, sir.

607
00:30:24,729 --> 00:30:26,531
[Roger] Here we go.

608
00:30:31,469 --> 00:30:34,473
[suspenseful music]

609
00:30:56,794 --> 00:31:00,563
The signal's strong, it's
really strong.

610
00:31:00,565 --> 00:31:03,567
Come on, come on, come on, come
on.

611
00:31:03,569 --> 00:31:05,301
[sensor crackling]

612
00:31:05,303 --> 00:31:07,372
It's really strong, Neil.

613
00:31:08,239 --> 00:31:10,308
We're right on top of it.

614
00:31:13,245 --> 00:31:14,311
It says I'm right on top of it.

615
00:31:14,313 --> 00:31:15,946
I don't see anything!

616
00:31:15,948 --> 00:31:16,815
Come on.

617
00:31:22,454 --> 00:31:25,258
[storm rumbling]

618
00:31:30,696 --> 00:31:32,765
Neil, I think I found it.

619
00:31:47,478 --> 00:31:48,445
This is unbelievable.

620
00:31:48,447 --> 00:31:50,280
[Neil] Sir, that storm is
coming in fast

621
00:31:50,282 --> 00:31:51,915
and may have dangerously high
winds.

622
00:31:51,917 --> 00:31:55,388
I advise immediate return to the
lander.

623
00:31:59,524 --> 00:32:02,328
[wind whistling]

624
00:32:03,027 --> 00:32:05,829
Alright Neil, I'm coming.

625
00:32:05,831 --> 00:32:08,700
[breathing heavy]

626
00:32:12,938 --> 00:32:13,770
Prime the VTOLs, Neil.

627
00:32:13,772 --> 00:32:17,340
Let's get go, we gotta go now,
now!

628
00:32:17,342 --> 00:32:18,707
Let's make the launch, Neil.

629
00:32:18,709 --> 00:32:19,876
We gotta go, we gotta go now.

630
00:32:19,878 --> 00:32:21,910
[Neil] Evaporated methane
levels have risen enough.

631
00:32:21,912 --> 00:32:24,013
We don't want to risk
igniting the rockets, sir.

632
00:32:24,015 --> 00:32:25,249
[thunder crashes]

633
00:32:25,251 --> 00:32:27,583
Also, the high winds will make
launch extremely dangerous.

634
00:32:27,585 --> 00:32:29,619
We'll have to wait until the
storm clears before we leave.

635
00:32:29,621 --> 00:32:30,552
What?

636
00:32:30,554 --> 00:32:31,387
No, no, no, no, no.

637
00:32:31,389 --> 00:32:33,622
There's still time, Neil, we can
go!

638
00:32:33,624 --> 00:32:34,626
Oh, come on!

639
00:32:37,595 --> 00:32:39,696
Think, think, think.

640
00:32:39,698 --> 00:32:41,731
[storm howls]

641
00:32:41,733 --> 00:32:42,601
Fine.

642
00:32:45,437 --> 00:32:46,136
How long?

643
00:32:46,138 --> 00:32:47,904
How long until the storm passes?

644
00:32:47,906 --> 00:32:48,905
[Neil] Unknown, sir.

645
00:32:48,907 --> 00:32:51,073
Communications with the
Magellan are still out

646
00:32:51,075 --> 00:32:53,475
and I'm receiving no
further data from Ferdinand.

647
00:32:53,477 --> 00:32:54,679
Right, right.

648
00:32:57,048 --> 00:33:00,585
Let's just hope we don't miss
our window.

649
00:33:02,420 --> 00:33:04,823
[storm howls]

650
00:33:31,449 --> 00:33:32,517
What are you?

651
00:33:56,374 --> 00:33:57,607
Neil are you picking up any
particles,

652
00:33:57,609 --> 00:34:00,377
any radiation, anything at all?

653
00:34:00,379 --> 00:34:02,078
[Neil] No, just the radio
signal.

654
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,146
But mission protocol calls

655
00:34:03,148 --> 00:34:06,351
for immediate storage of the
object.

656
00:34:12,990 --> 00:34:14,927
There's something...

657
00:34:25,836 --> 00:34:26,905
What is that?

658
00:34:28,072 --> 00:34:30,740
[Neil] Sir, the properties
of the object are unknown.

659
00:34:30,742 --> 00:34:31,807
I must advise you not to...

660
00:34:31,809 --> 00:34:34,546
[tonal humming]

661
00:34:42,086 --> 00:34:43,720
Neil, what was that?

662
00:34:43,722 --> 00:34:44,620
[Neil] I am unsure.

663
00:34:44,622 --> 00:34:46,689
The signal was interrupted
momentarily

664
00:34:46,691 --> 00:34:50,029
while the object responded to
your touch.

665
00:34:56,700 --> 00:34:59,738
I hope I didn't do anything
stupid.

666
00:35:00,738 --> 00:35:02,140
I just felt drawn.

667
00:35:22,561 --> 00:35:24,963
[storm rages]

668
00:35:29,568 --> 00:35:31,133
We gotta go, Neil.

669
00:35:31,135 --> 00:35:32,769
We're outta time.

670
00:35:32,771 --> 00:35:33,769
If we miss our launch window

671
00:35:33,771 --> 00:35:35,238
the Magellan won't be
back in docking range

672
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:37,173
for another three hours,

673
00:35:37,175 --> 00:35:40,910
and we're gonna miss
our window to Neptune.

674
00:35:40,912 --> 00:35:42,544
[Neil] The winds' have slowed
enough.

675
00:35:42,546 --> 00:35:44,646
We should be able to
make a safe launch, sir.

676
00:35:44,648 --> 00:35:46,249
Alright, ready the VTOLs,
Neil.

677
00:35:46,251 --> 00:35:48,017
Come on, we're going.

678
00:35:48,019 --> 00:35:50,689
[rockets fire]

679
00:35:57,195 --> 00:35:58,794
[Ferdinand] Welcome back, sir.

680
00:35:58,796 --> 00:36:01,231
Our orbital exit window
closes in five minutes.

681
00:36:01,233 --> 00:36:02,435
Copy that.

682
00:36:03,267 --> 00:36:05,133
Prepare to depart Titan's orbit.

683
00:36:05,135 --> 00:36:08,940
Take trajectory to Saturn
for gravity assist.

684
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,816
This is Commander Nelson
reporting to Mission Control.

685
00:36:19,818 --> 00:36:21,984
I have successfully
retrieved the transmitter.

686
00:36:21,986 --> 00:36:25,021
I'm back on the Magellan and
currently

687
00:36:25,023 --> 00:36:27,092
on trajectory to Neptune.

688
00:36:28,226 --> 00:36:30,959
And I've got something to show
you guys.

689
00:36:30,961 --> 00:36:31,831
Sit there.

690
00:36:36,834 --> 00:36:37,700
So I found this in a few inches

691
00:36:37,702 --> 00:36:40,840
of liquid methane in the Punga
Mare.

692
00:36:41,907 --> 00:36:44,577
It has no obvious power source,

693
00:36:46,677 --> 00:36:49,144
but a lot of physical
properties.

694
00:36:49,146 --> 00:36:52,314
I think you will hopefully
be able to make it out.

695
00:36:52,316 --> 00:36:56,121
And it is most definitely
still transmitting.

696
00:36:58,088 --> 00:37:02,024
I'm gonna send over a
more complete report soon,

697
00:37:02,026 --> 00:37:05,061
but I just thought
you'd like to celebrate.

698
00:37:05,063 --> 00:37:06,064
Nelson, out.

699
00:37:08,733 --> 00:37:10,233
Abigail,

700
00:37:10,235 --> 00:37:11,102
I did it.

701
00:37:13,003 --> 00:37:17,573
You won't believe what
I just found on Titan.

702
00:37:17,575 --> 00:37:19,075
[laughs]

703
00:37:19,077 --> 00:37:21,109
Look, NASA's gonna decide

704
00:37:21,111 --> 00:37:22,678
when and what to share with you.

705
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,881
Okay, but I just had to send you
this

706
00:37:25,883 --> 00:37:28,050
and let you know that I did it.

707
00:37:28,052 --> 00:37:28,920
I did.

708
00:37:32,157 --> 00:37:33,559
And I miss you.

709
00:37:35,894 --> 00:37:38,294
And I found the alien
transmitter on Titan.

710
00:37:38,296 --> 00:37:41,767
[camera shutter clicks]

711
00:37:54,613 --> 00:37:57,015
[eerie music]

712
00:38:03,354 --> 00:38:06,388
[Ferdinand] Transmission
from Mission Control, sir.

713
00:38:06,390 --> 00:38:07,689
It's probably from Abigail.

714
00:38:07,691 --> 00:38:10,628
Will you throw it up for me
please.

715
00:38:13,664 --> 00:38:15,097
So are we set?

716
00:38:15,099 --> 00:38:15,967
Okay.

717
00:38:17,102 --> 00:38:20,135
Congratulations Commander
Nelson on your discovery.

718
00:38:20,137 --> 00:38:22,674
This is truly a historic day.

719
00:38:23,407 --> 00:38:27,209
We are all celebrating
here and we eagerly await

720
00:38:27,211 --> 00:38:29,312
a full analysis of the object.

721
00:38:29,314 --> 00:38:31,713
[laughs]

722
00:38:31,715 --> 00:38:35,684
Listen, please make sure that
you follow the procedures

723
00:38:35,686 --> 00:38:38,320
outlined in your mission
manual for the analysis.

724
00:38:38,322 --> 00:38:40,689
I cannot stress enough how
important it is

725
00:38:40,691 --> 00:38:43,628
that you follow specific
protocols.

726
00:38:45,430 --> 00:38:47,329
[sighs]

727
00:38:47,331 --> 00:38:48,363
Things are getting a little
testy here

728
00:38:48,365 --> 00:38:51,934
with Secretary Stewart, so
please,

729
00:38:51,936 --> 00:38:55,740
take extreme caution
not to taint the object.

730
00:38:57,275 --> 00:39:01,613
We look forward to seeing
the results of the test.

731
00:39:11,456 --> 00:39:14,057
[eerie music]

732
00:39:14,059 --> 00:39:15,457
[clicks keyboard]

733
00:39:15,459 --> 00:39:17,926
My testing is progressing
well.

734
00:39:17,928 --> 00:39:21,863
And I'll be sending
measurements and imagery soon.

735
00:39:21,865 --> 00:39:22,934
But, I uh...

736
00:39:25,403 --> 00:39:27,805
Hmm, how should I put this?

737
00:39:28,972 --> 00:39:32,374
I may have already touched
the transmitter...

738
00:39:32,376 --> 00:39:34,045
With my bare hands.

739
00:39:35,012 --> 00:39:38,715
What's interesting is that
it reacted to my touch

740
00:39:38,717 --> 00:39:40,318
in tone and in light.

741
00:39:41,820 --> 00:39:43,352
So what I'd love to do is repeat

742
00:39:43,354 --> 00:39:46,888
that little experiment
and record it for you.

743
00:39:46,890 --> 00:39:50,093
So, I will await your next
transmission

744
00:39:50,095 --> 00:39:50,992
and we'll go from there.

745
00:39:50,994 --> 00:39:54,896
[clicks recorder off]

746
00:39:54,898 --> 00:39:56,167
Come on, Becker!

747
00:39:57,334 --> 00:39:59,936
Ya can't leave me hanging.

748
00:39:59,938 --> 00:40:01,937
[taps computer]

749
00:40:01,939 --> 00:40:02,807
Hey, Ferd.

750
00:40:03,474 --> 00:40:05,810
I'm gonna do lake samples.

751
00:40:07,010 --> 00:40:08,880
Just letting you know.

752
00:40:16,220 --> 00:40:18,823
[eerie music]

753
00:40:52,456 --> 00:40:54,856
Ferd, anything from my wife yet?

754
00:40:54,858 --> 00:40:58,496
[Ferdinand] Other than
chess moves, no, sir.

755
00:40:59,497 --> 00:41:01,100
Come on, Becker.

756
00:41:01,965 --> 00:41:02,965
[Ferdinand] I'm sorry, sir.

757
00:41:02,967 --> 00:41:05,568
I've compiled results
on the methane sample.

758
00:41:05,570 --> 00:41:09,908
Okay, will you pull them
up on my screen please?

759
00:41:12,910 --> 00:41:13,778
Thank you.

760
00:41:20,517 --> 00:41:22,484
Ferdinand, there are amino acids
here.

761
00:41:22,486 --> 00:41:23,486
[Ferdinand] Yes, sir.

762
00:41:23,488 --> 00:41:25,521
This sample appears to
confirm the hypotheses

763
00:41:25,523 --> 00:41:27,557
of Miller, Urey and Horst.

764
00:41:27,559 --> 00:41:30,026
[laughs]

765
00:41:30,028 --> 00:41:32,595
This is like two steps
away from life off Earth.

766
00:41:32,597 --> 00:41:33,562
[Ferdinand] I agree, sir.

767
00:41:33,564 --> 00:41:35,131
NASA will be very interested.

768
00:41:35,133 --> 00:41:36,198
Are you kidding me?

769
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,533
Everyone on Earth is going
to be very interested.

770
00:41:38,535 --> 00:41:40,539
[claps]

771
00:41:42,506 --> 00:41:43,909
That's amazing.

772
00:41:45,843 --> 00:41:46,512
Hmm.

773
00:41:48,512 --> 00:41:51,379
[Ferdinand] Sir,
a new transmission from Mission Control.

774
00:41:51,381 --> 00:41:53,115
Becker again?

775
00:41:53,117 --> 00:41:56,151
[Ferdinand] I believe
it's your wife, sir.

776
00:41:56,153 --> 00:41:57,586
Finally.

777
00:41:57,588 --> 00:41:59,088
Pull it up, please.

778
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,890
[clicks buttons]

779
00:42:00,892 --> 00:42:02,294
Got it, thank you.

780
00:42:03,293 --> 00:42:04,260
Hey, Roger.

781
00:42:04,262 --> 00:42:05,394
You're probably just waking up

782
00:42:05,396 --> 00:42:07,463
and have a lot of stuff to do.

783
00:42:07,465 --> 00:42:10,401
But, things have been pretty
crazy.

784
00:42:11,535 --> 00:42:12,401
Apparently, word got out

785
00:42:12,403 --> 00:42:14,336
that I have access to Mission
Control.

786
00:42:14,338 --> 00:42:17,006
And somebody hacked my home
computer

787
00:42:17,008 --> 00:42:19,374
looking for information on your
mission.

788
00:42:19,376 --> 00:42:22,581
They were controlling my webcam,
Roger.

789
00:42:24,648 --> 00:42:26,481
They don't know who it is, yet.

790
00:42:26,483 --> 00:42:28,050
They're possibly Chinese
hackers,

791
00:42:28,052 --> 00:42:29,452
but now the CIA's involved

792
00:42:29,454 --> 00:42:31,419
and Stewart's pissed at Becker

793
00:42:31,421 --> 00:42:33,289
and they're threatening to have
me banned

794
00:42:33,291 --> 00:42:34,657
from Mission Control.

795
00:42:34,659 --> 00:42:37,359
As if I'm not separated from you
enough.

796
00:42:37,361 --> 00:42:39,928
I mean, he's just such a...

797
00:42:39,930 --> 00:42:43,399
No, he's your commanding officer

798
00:42:43,401 --> 00:42:45,533
and I know that you're about to
make

799
00:42:45,535 --> 00:42:49,504
incredible discoveries and all
of that.

800
00:42:49,506 --> 00:42:50,374
I just...

801
00:42:51,976 --> 00:42:55,981
It's only been a year and
a half and I'm scared.

802
00:42:57,180 --> 00:43:01,052
I feel like I'm writing
letters to a dead guy.

803
00:43:15,365 --> 00:43:17,969
[eerie music]

804
00:43:26,110 --> 00:43:29,312
This message is solely
for Abigail Nelson.

805
00:43:29,314 --> 00:43:30,182
Hi, Abbie.

806
00:43:31,148 --> 00:43:33,448
I want you to take a good look.

807
00:43:33,450 --> 00:43:35,450
This is not a dead guy.

808
00:43:35,452 --> 00:43:36,988
At least not yet.

809
00:43:38,956 --> 00:43:42,193
Look, I know you're having a
tough time.

810
00:43:43,427 --> 00:43:46,629
But I want you to hang in there,
okay?

811
00:43:46,631 --> 00:43:48,530
NASA's there to take
really good care of you

812
00:43:48,532 --> 00:43:50,166
and I promise you that
Ferdinand's

813
00:43:50,168 --> 00:43:53,001
taking good care of me up here.

814
00:43:53,003 --> 00:43:56,638
I mean, we're really onto
something here.

815
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:57,508
And...

816
00:43:59,410 --> 00:44:00,977
I can't wait to find

817
00:44:00,979 --> 00:44:03,979
what I think we're gonna find on
Triton.

818
00:44:03,981 --> 00:44:06,548
And I can't wait to share it
with you.

819
00:44:06,550 --> 00:44:08,751
So hang in there.

820
00:44:08,753 --> 00:44:11,957
Alright, I've got to go into
stasis.

821
00:44:12,689 --> 00:44:17,028
But if you're thinking of
moving your knight to H4,

822
00:44:18,162 --> 00:44:21,967
I think I'm gonna have
to move my rook to F6.

823
00:44:22,633 --> 00:44:26,669
And I'm 99.9% sure that's
what you're gonna do.

824
00:44:26,671 --> 00:44:30,542
So we'll pick it up from
there when I wake up.

825
00:44:34,244 --> 00:44:36,012
I love you.

826
00:44:36,014 --> 00:44:37,149
Hang in there.

827
00:44:41,552 --> 00:44:44,155
[eerie music]

828
00:45:08,813 --> 00:45:11,416
[hatch opens]

829
00:45:13,151 --> 00:45:14,617
[Ferdinand] NASA has confirmed

830
00:45:14,619 --> 00:45:16,352
the advanced probe failed on
arrival.

831
00:45:16,354 --> 00:45:18,586
No survey data has been
collected.

832
00:45:18,588 --> 00:45:20,722
We will have to perform the
orbital survey ourselves

833
00:45:20,724 --> 00:45:22,524
to locate the signal.

834
00:45:22,526 --> 00:45:23,658
Failed, what do you mean?

835
00:45:23,660 --> 00:45:25,361
What happened?

836
00:45:25,363 --> 00:45:26,662
[Ferdinand] Apparently a
computer error.

837
00:45:26,664 --> 00:45:29,330
But Mission Control
didn't send diagnostics.

838
00:45:29,332 --> 00:45:32,535
Currently, no survey data of
Triton has been collected.

839
00:45:32,537 --> 00:45:34,637
We will have to perform the
orbital survey ourselves

840
00:45:34,639 --> 00:45:36,704
to locate the signal.

841
00:45:36,706 --> 00:45:39,274
Great, how much additional
time is that?

842
00:45:39,276 --> 00:45:40,675
[Ferdinand] Unknown, sir.

843
00:45:40,677 --> 00:45:43,445
It could take upwards of 24
hours.

844
00:45:43,447 --> 00:45:44,314
And what's our window to Eris

845
00:45:44,316 --> 00:45:46,782
after we achieve orbit around
Triton?

846
00:45:46,784 --> 00:45:48,720
[Ferdinand] 24 hours.

847
00:45:49,653 --> 00:45:51,120
Okay.

848
00:45:51,122 --> 00:45:52,555
Any word on the Chinese mission?

849
00:45:52,557 --> 00:45:54,490
[Ferdinand] Nothing official,
sir.

850
00:45:54,492 --> 00:45:55,624
It is believed they may have
arrived

851
00:45:55,626 --> 00:45:57,660
on Triton in the last seven
days,

852
00:45:57,662 --> 00:45:58,861
but there have been no
public announcements

853
00:45:58,863 --> 00:46:01,066
on their mission status.

854
00:46:02,499 --> 00:46:04,133
Any messages from my wife?

855
00:46:04,135 --> 00:46:06,535
[Ferdinand] It doesn't appear
so, sir.

856
00:46:06,537 --> 00:46:08,336
Seriously, nothing?

857
00:46:08,338 --> 00:46:11,173
[Ferdinand] There are over
200 dispatches waiting for you.

858
00:46:11,175 --> 00:46:13,408
And none of them appear to be
your wife.

859
00:46:13,410 --> 00:46:16,479
Although I may have made a
mistake due to mislabeling.

860
00:46:16,481 --> 00:46:17,416
Unlikely.

861
00:46:18,883 --> 00:46:20,615
[Ferdinand] There is
something else, sir.

862
00:46:20,617 --> 00:46:21,483
What's that?

863
00:46:21,485 --> 00:46:22,684
[Ferdinand] Commander, during
stasis,

864
00:46:22,686 --> 00:46:26,155
there were some anomalies in
the sphere's transmissions.

865
00:46:26,157 --> 00:46:27,455
What kind of anomalies?

866
00:46:27,457 --> 00:46:28,624
[Ferdinand] Momentary
variations

867
00:46:28,626 --> 00:46:30,325
from the regular tonal pulse.

868
00:46:30,327 --> 00:46:31,794
NASA was notified of the
anomalies

869
00:46:31,796 --> 00:46:33,262
and sent you a report.

870
00:46:33,264 --> 00:46:34,530
Okay, what about the other two
signals?

871
00:46:34,532 --> 00:46:35,363
[Ferdinand] The other two
signals

872
00:46:35,365 --> 00:46:37,265
have had no detectable
variations.

873
00:46:37,267 --> 00:46:38,767
Was there anything
interesting in the report?

874
00:46:38,769 --> 00:46:40,135
[Ferdinand] Possibly, at the
time

875
00:46:40,137 --> 00:46:41,637
of the transmission anomalies,

876
00:46:41,639 --> 00:46:43,738
there was a significant
rise in your brain activity

877
00:46:43,740 --> 00:46:46,274
similar to measurements found

878
00:46:45,309 --> 00:46:46,642
while dreaming in normal sleep.

879
00:46:46,644 --> 00:46:48,811
Which isn't thought to
be possible in stasis.

880
00:46:48,813 --> 00:46:50,215
No, it's not.

881
00:46:51,215 --> 00:46:54,285
[Ferdinand] Were you dreaming,
sir?

882
00:46:56,153 --> 00:46:56,822
Yeah.

883
00:46:58,222 --> 00:47:00,356
Yeah, I think so.

884
00:47:00,358 --> 00:47:05,361
It was just images, but nothing
specific that I remember.

885
00:47:05,363 --> 00:47:08,597
[Ferdinand] I will log a
report and send it to NASA.

886
00:47:08,599 --> 00:47:09,468
Right.

887
00:47:24,481 --> 00:47:26,884
[eerie music]

888
00:47:38,829 --> 00:47:42,367
[Ferdinand] Sir, is everything
alright?

889
00:47:49,206 --> 00:47:49,972
Yeah.

890
00:47:49,974 --> 00:47:50,909
Yeah, yeah.

891
00:48:04,789 --> 00:48:06,988
Okay, Becker says "public
reaction

892
00:48:06,990 --> 00:48:10,526
"to the findings is ecstatic,"
yada yada.

893
00:48:10,528 --> 00:48:12,461
"Renewed interest in the space
program."

894
00:48:12,463 --> 00:48:14,562
Okay that's good.

895
00:48:14,564 --> 00:48:17,666
"Increased federal
funding awarded to NASA."

896
00:48:17,668 --> 00:48:18,533
Oh good, maybe they'll

897
00:48:18,535 --> 00:48:20,336
send me a fruit basket or
something.

898
00:48:20,338 --> 00:48:22,303
[Ferdinand] That would
be improbable, Commander.

899
00:48:22,305 --> 00:48:23,004
[laughs]

900
00:48:23,006 --> 00:48:24,472
Time and cost for cargo resupply

901
00:48:24,474 --> 00:48:27,178
at this distance is prohibitive.

902
00:48:28,546 --> 00:48:30,948
You're probably right, Ferd.

903
00:48:32,316 --> 00:48:33,649
Hmm.

904
00:48:33,651 --> 00:48:36,885
"Possible Chinese hacking of
probe."

905
00:48:36,887 --> 00:48:38,557
That's interesting.

906
00:48:40,590 --> 00:48:41,557
Okay, here we go.

907
00:48:41,559 --> 00:48:44,896
"Transmitter anomaly report
video relay."

908
00:48:46,831 --> 00:48:50,466
At approximately 3400
hours sidereal time,

909
00:48:50,468 --> 00:48:51,870
24 AU from Earth,

910
00:48:53,738 --> 00:48:57,905
we recorded an anomaly in the
found transmitter's signal.

911
00:48:57,907 --> 00:49:02,213
For about 34 minutes, the
signal just suddenly scrambled

912
00:49:02,979 --> 00:49:05,650
and began transmitting what...

913
00:49:07,017 --> 00:49:09,688
What appears to be binary code.

914
00:49:11,354 --> 00:49:14,423
The variations would
last just a few seconds

915
00:49:14,425 --> 00:49:17,325
and then it would revert
back to the original signal.

916
00:49:17,327 --> 00:49:20,329
After 34 minutes the
anomalies just ceased.

917
00:49:20,331 --> 00:49:22,997
We've been trying to figure this
out.

918
00:49:22,999 --> 00:49:26,301
We were trying to decode
these binary clicks

919
00:49:26,303 --> 00:49:27,936
and we're still going at it,

920
00:49:27,938 --> 00:49:30,071
but we're not having any
success.

921
00:49:30,073 --> 00:49:32,874
Now whether this had anything to
do

922
00:49:32,876 --> 00:49:34,910
with you touching that
transmitter

923
00:49:34,912 --> 00:49:37,549
against protocol we don't know.

924
00:49:38,849 --> 00:49:40,381
But I do know this.

925
00:49:40,383 --> 00:49:43,084
Secretary Stewart is livid and
...

926
00:49:43,086 --> 00:49:44,421
I bet he is.

927
00:49:45,488 --> 00:49:46,655
Thank you, Becker.

928
00:49:46,657 --> 00:49:48,356
From now on I'd suggest not
repeating

929
00:49:48,358 --> 00:49:50,792
your experiment until further
notice.

930
00:49:50,794 --> 00:49:52,561
[Ferdinand] I'm also
working on the binary codes

931
00:49:52,563 --> 00:49:54,765
in my background processes.

932
00:49:56,901 --> 00:49:58,499
Okay.

933
00:49:58,501 --> 00:50:01,537
"Still working on the signal
anomalies.

934
00:50:01,539 --> 00:50:04,907

00:50:04,909 --> 00:50:07,041

945
00:50:42,947 --> 00:50:44,780
How you feeling today,
Ferdinand?

946
00:50:44,782 --> 00:50:47,519
[Ferdinand] Never better, sir.

947
00:50:49,820 --> 00:50:52,653
Okay, well let me know if you
have

948
00:50:52,655 --> 00:50:54,923
any personal problems.

949
00:50:54,925 --> 00:50:58,526
[Ferdinand] What kind of
problems, sir?

950
00:50:58,528 --> 00:51:00,896
You know, just anything
unexpected...

951
00:51:00,898 --> 00:51:02,497
In your processing.

952
00:51:02,499 --> 00:51:04,835
[Ferdinand] Of course, sir.

953
00:51:26,990 --> 00:51:29,457
Sir, can I inquire what you are
doing?

954
00:51:29,459 --> 00:51:30,128
Why not.

955
00:51:36,901 --> 00:51:37,700
[Ferdinand] I don't believe
this

956
00:51:37,702 --> 00:51:40,169
is following protocol,
Commander.

957
00:51:40,171 --> 00:51:41,973
No, it's not, Ferd.

958
00:51:43,072 --> 00:51:46,009
But I am on a mission of
discovery.

959
00:51:47,477 --> 00:51:49,845
And as current circumstances

960
00:51:49,847 --> 00:51:54,048
may prevent rebuttal from
higher ranking personnel,

961
00:51:54,050 --> 00:51:55,853
I'm not that worried.

962
00:52:05,162 --> 00:52:07,899
Alright, Ferdinand, record this.

963
00:52:11,836 --> 00:52:14,572
[tonal humming]

964
00:52:17,541 --> 00:52:20,178

00:52:38,896 --> 00:52:40,796
Did you get that Ferd?

968
00:52:40,798 --> 00:52:41,830
[Ferdinand] Yes.

969
00:52:41,832 --> 00:52:45,602
Can I inquire what caused
your reaction, sir?

970
00:52:46,936 --> 00:52:47,803
I don't know.

971
00:52:47,805 --> 00:52:48,673
Umm...

972
00:52:50,273 --> 00:52:51,141
I um...

973
00:52:54,878 --> 00:52:56,680
I saw images, umm...

974
00:52:59,282 --> 00:53:01,552
Just water, and stars...

975
00:53:07,525 --> 00:53:08,193
Send it.

976
00:53:09,526 --> 00:53:10,791
Send the video now.

977
00:53:10,793 --> 00:53:13,130
[Ferdinand] Yes, Commander.

978
00:53:25,041 --> 00:53:26,274
Orbit achieved.

979
00:53:26,276 --> 00:53:28,910
Beginning orbital survey
to locate signal source.

980
00:53:28,912 --> 00:53:29,981
Roger that.

981
00:53:33,249 --> 00:53:34,850
[Ferdinand] Commander,
a new video transmission

982
00:53:34,852 --> 00:53:36,318
has just arrived.

983
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:40,658
Okay, throw it up on the
screen down here for me please.

984
00:53:46,229 --> 00:53:49,330
Commander Nelson, we just
received word

985
00:53:49,332 --> 00:53:52,800
that there's been an accident
with the Chinese mission.

986
00:53:52,802 --> 00:53:54,336
We're not sure what happened,

987
00:53:54,338 --> 00:53:56,204
but it's been confirmed

988
00:53:56,206 --> 00:53:59,575
that they experienced some
sort of mechanical failure

989
00:53:59,577 --> 00:54:04,278
and it's believed that all
three crew members are dead.

990
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:05,646
Again, we don't know what
happened,

991
00:54:05,648 --> 00:54:06,914
we're just waiting for some sort

992
00:54:06,916 --> 00:54:09,520
of an official statement here.

993
00:54:11,722 --> 00:54:15,860
Your orders are to proceed
with the mission as planned.

994
00:54:18,227 --> 00:54:19,894
I reached out to Abigail

995
00:54:19,896 --> 00:54:23,233
and let her know that you're
okay, so...

996
00:54:24,602 --> 00:54:25,767
[sighs]

997
00:54:25,769 --> 00:54:27,104
Good luck, Roger.

998
00:54:52,128 --> 00:54:54,829
[Ferdinand] Search time
is limited, Commander.

999
00:54:54,831 --> 00:54:57,198
We must be en route to
Eris within three hours,

1000
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,603
or we will miss our window.

1001
00:55:08,177 --> 00:55:11,946
[Neil] Hey, Commander
Nelson, this is Neil!

1002
00:55:11,948 --> 00:55:13,914
You don't say.

1003
00:55:13,916 --> 00:55:18,019
[Neil] What's the refueling
process once we touch down?

1004
00:55:18,021 --> 00:55:20,222
Are you serious?

1005
00:55:20,224 --> 00:55:22,224
There is none, Neil.

1006
00:55:22,226 --> 00:55:24,059
Gravity is less that 8% of
Earth's.

1007
00:55:24,061 --> 00:55:25,727
There's barely trace atmosphere.

1008
00:55:25,729 --> 00:55:27,863
Escape velocity's super low.

1009
00:55:27,865 --> 00:55:29,664
How do you not know this?

1010
00:55:29,666 --> 00:55:33,804
[Neil] Ferdinand doesn't
tell me everything he knows.

1011
00:55:41,878 --> 00:55:42,746
Okay.

1012
00:56:02,099 --> 00:56:04,769
[sensor beeps]

1013
00:56:08,104 --> 00:56:10,405
[Roger] I don't know, Neil,
we're getting pretty close

1014
00:56:10,407 --> 00:56:12,242
to this impact crater.

1015
00:56:14,945 --> 00:56:18,345
Yeah, the signal's coming from
the crater.

1016
00:56:18,347 --> 00:56:19,513
Probably 50 meters down.

1017
00:56:19,515 --> 00:56:22,283
[Neil] You should return
for some climbing gear, sir.

1018
00:56:22,285 --> 00:56:23,385
[Roger] Thing is, I
could probably just jump it

1019
00:56:23,387 --> 00:56:24,785
in this gravity, you think?

1020
00:56:24,787 --> 00:56:27,122
[Neil] That is not advisable,
sir.

1021
00:56:27,124 --> 00:56:28,256
[Roger] I think I can
climb it without gear.

1022
00:56:28,258 --> 00:56:29,323
How long until the window?

1023
00:56:29,325 --> 00:56:32,093
[Neil] 15 minutes until
we need to launch, sir.

1024
00:56:32,095 --> 00:56:34,729
Sir, are you returning for gear?

1025
00:56:34,731 --> 00:56:36,164
[Roger] Negative, Neil,
there's not enough time.

1026
00:56:36,166 --> 00:56:37,099
I'm just gonna free solo it.

1027
00:56:37,101 --> 00:56:39,133
[Neil] I can't advise that,
Commander.

1028
00:56:39,135 --> 00:56:40,001
[Roger] I know.

1029
00:56:40,003 --> 00:56:42,140
[Neil] Be cautious, sir.

1030
00:56:49,947 --> 00:56:52,182
[straining]

1031
00:57:10,501 --> 00:57:11,836
[Roger] Ahh!

1032
00:57:22,211 --> 00:57:24,079
Neil, I'm okay.

1033
00:57:24,081 --> 00:57:26,046
Continuing to the impact crater.

1034
00:57:26,048 --> 00:57:27,148
Keep me posted on time.

1035
00:57:27,150 --> 00:57:29,450
[Neil] Your suit pressure
appears to be stable.

1036
00:57:29,452 --> 00:57:33,123
Time to departure is
11 minutes 47 seconds.

1037
00:58:03,352 --> 00:58:06,289
[sensor crackling]

1038
00:58:15,131 --> 00:58:17,802

00:58:44,494 --> 00:58:47,398
[distorted voices]

1040
00:58:52,436 --> 00:58:56,140
[Neil] Time to departure
is eight minutes.

1041
00:58:57,173 --> 00:58:59,242
[Roger] Neil, I got it.

1042
00:59:02,012 --> 00:59:04,881
[breathing heavy]

1043
00:59:26,035 --> 00:59:26,903
Okay.

1044
00:59:48,157 --> 00:59:50,493
Alright, Neil, traversing up.

1045
00:59:56,032 --> 00:59:58,869
[breathing heavy]

1046
01:00:00,503 --> 01:00:02,906
I may need a little longer.

1047
01:00:04,541 --> 01:00:06,477
Wanna buy me some time?

1048
01:00:13,550 --> 01:00:16,287
[rocks clatter]

1049
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,995
Neil, it's really hard to
get any traction on this ice

1050
01:00:27,997 --> 01:00:29,631
with the low gravity.

1051
01:00:29,633 --> 01:00:32,533
Could really use some
crampons right about now.

1052
01:00:32,535 --> 01:00:35,336
[suspenseful music]

1053
01:00:35,338 --> 01:00:37,007
No, no, no, no, no!

1054
01:00:46,015 --> 01:00:46,684
Neil...

1055
01:00:52,255 --> 01:00:54,457
Neil, I dropped the sphere.

1056
01:00:57,327 --> 01:00:58,930
I have to go back.

1057
01:00:59,729 --> 01:01:00,796
How much time do we have left?

1058
01:01:00,798 --> 01:01:03,698
[Neil] Time to departure
is 4 minutes 30 seconds.

1059
01:01:03,700 --> 01:01:05,533
[Roger] Copy that.

1060
01:01:05,535 --> 01:01:07,401
[fabric rips]

1061
01:01:07,403 --> 01:01:08,370
[air hissing]

1062
01:01:08,372 --> 01:01:10,372
[Neil] Sir, your suit
is losing pressure.

1063
01:01:10,374 --> 01:01:11,472
It's a slow leak.

1064
01:01:11,474 --> 01:01:13,575
Can you locate and patch it?

1065
01:01:13,577 --> 01:01:15,276
[Roger] No time.

1066
01:01:15,278 --> 01:01:16,443
We have to get outta here.

1067
01:01:16,445 --> 01:01:19,079
Otherwise we'll never make it to
Eris.

1068
01:01:19,081 --> 01:01:23,219
[Neil] This may be a bad
time to say, I told you so.

1069
01:01:25,521 --> 01:01:28,490
Time to departure is 3 minutes
30 seconds.

1070
01:01:28,492 --> 01:01:30,791
You need to hurry back to the
lander, sir.

1071
01:01:30,793 --> 01:01:33,663
[warning beeping]

1072
01:01:45,041 --> 01:01:46,509
Charge the VTOLs.

1073
01:02:05,762 --> 01:02:08,099
[gasping]

1074
01:02:10,666 --> 01:02:13,403
Neil, give me a trajectory, now.

1075
01:02:14,470 --> 01:02:16,137
I don't want to get caught

1076
01:02:16,139 --> 01:02:19,677
chasing Eris' tail
through the solar system.

1077
01:02:21,711 --> 01:02:24,678
We don't have the time or the
fuel for it.

1078
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:26,414
We gotta go now.

1079
01:02:26,416 --> 01:02:27,515
[Neil] Roger that, Captain.

1080
01:02:27,517 --> 01:02:29,550
Displaying trajectory now.

1081
01:02:29,552 --> 01:02:32,355
[thrusters fire]

1082
01:02:35,592 --> 01:02:38,358
Okay, I found the second
transmitter.

1083
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:42,499
And as you'll see here,
it's got some similarities.

1084
01:02:43,532 --> 01:02:46,269
So similar shape, similar color.

1085
01:02:48,805 --> 01:02:53,144
I was also just able to get a
small sample of ice near it.

1086
01:02:54,744 --> 01:02:57,678
'Cause I nearly missed my exit.

1087
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,115
So that's all I've got for now.

1088
01:03:00,117 --> 01:03:04,255
You can expect the analysis
results next transmission

1089
01:03:08,758 --> 01:03:09,693
Okay, Ferd.

1090
01:03:11,327 --> 01:03:13,130
I want you to tell me

1091
01:03:15,465 --> 01:03:17,267
what this is made of.

1092
01:03:18,568 --> 01:03:19,434
[Ferdinand] Right away.

1093
01:03:19,436 --> 01:03:21,503
You have a new transmission from
Abigail.

1094
01:03:21,505 --> 01:03:22,704
Oh, great.

1095
01:03:22,706 --> 01:03:24,771
Throw it up on the screen for
me.

1096
01:03:24,773 --> 01:03:25,642
Thank you.

1097
01:03:31,881 --> 01:03:32,816
Hey baby.

1098
01:03:34,483 --> 01:03:36,751
Becker said you'd be
coming out of Stasis today.

1099
01:03:36,753 --> 01:03:38,653
And I figured that by
the time you get this,

1100
01:03:38,655 --> 01:03:42,323
you've probably been
awake for a couple hours.

1101
01:03:42,325 --> 01:03:44,459
He's letting me stick around
here as long as I want,

1102
01:03:44,461 --> 01:03:47,327
despite Stewart's wishes.

1103
01:03:47,329 --> 01:03:49,731
I think he feels sorry for me

1104
01:03:49,733 --> 01:03:52,470
because I'm the astronaut widow.

1105
01:03:57,307 --> 01:03:58,843
It's been 50 months.

1106
01:04:01,878 --> 01:04:04,615
That's a little over four years.

1107
01:04:05,548 --> 01:04:06,680
[sniffling]

1108
01:04:06,682 --> 01:04:07,550
Yeah...

1109
01:04:08,651 --> 01:04:09,850
I mean, a lot's been going on.

1110
01:04:09,852 --> 01:04:13,823
My sister's been living with
me for the last six months.

1111
01:04:15,457 --> 01:04:18,358
I thought I was up for a
promotion...

1112
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:19,696
It didn't happen.

1113
01:04:21,331 --> 01:04:23,198
I don't know.

1114
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,399
I seem to even be having a hard
time getting a speaking gig

1115
01:04:25,401 --> 01:04:28,602
at the local college symposium
anymore.

1116
01:04:28,604 --> 01:04:32,539
But everyone wants an interview
with the astronaut's wife.

1117
01:04:32,541 --> 01:04:35,813
It's all anyone's interested in
anymore.

1118
01:04:39,548 --> 01:04:41,217
The ball you found.

1119
01:04:42,818 --> 01:04:47,157
I don't know all the details
of it yet, but it's incredible.

1120
01:04:54,430 --> 01:04:55,832
Roger, I'm scared.

1121
01:04:59,602 --> 01:05:02,872
I keep having this dream that
you uh...

1122
01:05:05,474 --> 01:05:07,508
You float off into space...

1123
01:05:07,510 --> 01:05:08,379
And worse.

1124
01:05:09,845 --> 01:05:11,646
They keep telling me you're
okay,

1125
01:05:11,648 --> 01:05:15,649
but they're not giving
me full access anymore.

1126
01:05:15,651 --> 01:05:19,590
And after what happened
to the Chinese mission,

1127
01:05:21,858 --> 01:05:25,196
I'm scared you're gonna die out
there.

1128
01:05:33,769 --> 01:05:38,006
I'm sorry, I shouldn't
be talking like this.

1129
01:05:38,008 --> 01:05:40,642
[sighs]

1130
01:05:40,644 --> 01:05:42,580
I just really miss you.

1131
01:05:44,914 --> 01:05:46,450
I miss you a lot.

1132
01:05:52,555 --> 01:05:53,490
And umm...

1133
01:05:55,992 --> 01:05:57,528
Queenside castle.

1134
01:06:37,066 --> 01:06:37,934
Ah.

1135
01:06:39,735 --> 01:06:41,804
[groans]

1136
01:06:43,539 --> 01:06:46,610
Ferd, I'm gonna go check on the
suit.

1137
01:06:50,113 --> 01:06:51,546
[Ferdinand] Analysis on the
ice sample

1138
01:06:51,548 --> 01:06:53,113
from Triton is complete.

1139
01:06:53,115 --> 01:06:55,550
It's mostly frozen water
with some carbon dioxide

1140
01:06:55,552 --> 01:06:57,484
and nitrogen ice crystals as
well.

1141
01:06:57,486 --> 01:06:58,553
Nice.

1142
01:06:58,555 --> 01:07:00,088
[Ferdinand] There are
other trace ices present.

1143
01:07:00,090 --> 01:07:02,557
Ammonia, methane, carbon
monoxide,

1144
01:07:02,559 --> 01:07:03,925
also chloride and magnesium.

1145
01:07:03,927 --> 01:07:05,526
Not unlike sea water on Earth.

1146
01:07:05,528 --> 01:07:08,363
A very, very cold seawater.

1147
01:07:08,365 --> 01:07:10,530
You didn't find any
amino acids or proteins?

1148
01:07:10,532 --> 01:07:11,698
[Ferdinand] None at all.

1149
01:07:11,700 --> 01:07:12,834
But there are some anomalies

1150
01:07:12,836 --> 01:07:14,035
in the radio survey I performed

1151
01:07:14,037 --> 01:07:16,537
while you were on the surface.

1152
01:07:16,539 --> 01:07:18,138
Do you have any readouts for
me?

1153
01:07:18,140 --> 01:07:19,974
[Ferdinand] You can access
them on the main console.

1154
01:07:19,976 --> 01:07:21,175
Thank you.

1155
01:07:21,177 --> 01:07:22,042
[Ferdinand] I confirmed the
presence of a subterranean

1156
01:07:22,044 --> 01:07:24,745
ocean beneath the ice crust of
Triton.

1157
01:07:24,747 --> 01:07:27,715
Which averages one and
a half kilometers thick.

1158
01:07:27,717 --> 01:07:28,883
The anomalies I referred to

1159
01:07:28,885 --> 01:07:30,550
are a number of dense
protrusions

1160
01:07:30,552 --> 01:07:31,718
that come near the ice crust

1161
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:32,986
which could be mineral
pinnacles.

1162
01:07:32,988 --> 01:07:33,854
[screen beeps]

1163
01:07:33,856 --> 01:07:34,988
As you'll see on your screen,
however,

1164
01:07:34,990 --> 01:07:39,559
they appear to change
position on subsequent scans.

1165
01:07:39,561 --> 01:07:41,695
So what, just icebergs
floating around?

1166
01:07:41,697 --> 01:07:42,631
[Ferdinand] No, the
protrusions

1167
01:07:42,633 --> 01:07:45,133
stand out from the material
around them.

1168
01:07:45,135 --> 01:07:46,533
They're made of something
different

1169
01:07:46,535 --> 01:07:48,169
with different densities.

1170
01:07:48,171 --> 01:07:49,070
And the movement didn't follow

1171
01:07:49,072 --> 01:07:50,504
any distinguishable pattern

1172
01:07:50,506 --> 01:07:53,106
that might indicate
currents or convection.

1173
01:07:53,108 --> 01:07:54,644
They seem random.

1174
01:07:56,613 --> 01:07:57,481
Random?

1175
01:08:01,418 --> 01:08:02,486
Ferdinand...

1176
01:08:04,521 --> 01:08:06,421
Are you telling me there
are fish down there?

1177
01:08:06,423 --> 01:08:08,655
[Ferdinand] I would
hesitate to suggest that, sir.

1178
01:08:08,657 --> 01:08:11,526
They would be bigger than
whales if they were life forms.

1179
01:08:11,528 --> 01:08:14,729
But that is an unacceptable
leap to make based on this data.

1180
01:08:14,731 --> 01:08:17,164
It could just be some form
of subsurface distortion

1181
01:08:17,166 --> 01:08:18,932
or globs of some compound being
broken

1182
01:08:18,934 --> 01:08:20,870
up by undersea geysers.

1183
01:08:24,808 --> 01:08:26,910
I don't know, Ferdinand.

1184
01:08:27,844 --> 01:08:31,982
[Abigail] After what happened
to the Chinese mission.

1185
01:08:33,883 --> 01:08:37,717
I'm scared you're gonna die out
there.

1186
01:08:37,719 --> 01:08:38,718
[Ferdinand] Incoming
transmission

1187
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:40,857
from Mission Control, sir.

1188
01:08:43,692 --> 01:08:47,194
Commander Nelson, I'm
sending you this message

1189
01:08:47,196 --> 01:08:49,463
because some of my people
have done some analysis

1190
01:08:49,465 --> 01:08:53,603
of their own, as well as
viewed your touch experiment.

1191
01:08:54,470 --> 01:08:57,204
And we're very concerned.

1192
01:08:57,206 --> 01:08:59,507
I know you and NASA are
advancing the future of mankind

1193
01:08:59,509 --> 01:09:00,842
at a breathtaking pace.

1194
01:09:00,844 --> 01:09:02,543
But it's important that

1195
01:09:02,545 --> 01:09:03,778
in all the excitement of your
discoveries

1196
01:09:03,780 --> 01:09:04,745
that we don't lose our heads

1197
01:09:04,747 --> 01:09:06,913
and do something that we're
gonna regret.

1198
01:09:06,915 --> 01:09:08,181
There could be any number of
dangers

1199
01:09:08,183 --> 01:09:10,016
from these extraterrestrial
objects,

1200
01:09:10,018 --> 01:09:12,052
and frankly, we don't
know enough about them.

1201
01:09:12,054 --> 01:09:14,689
We don't know where they
came from or who sent them.

1202
01:09:14,691 --> 01:09:16,056
And until we do know,

1203
01:09:16,058 --> 01:09:18,926
I implore you to exercise
the utmost caution

1204
01:09:18,928 --> 01:09:21,028
in your handling of them and
exposing them

1205
01:09:21,030 --> 01:09:24,765
to any databases or feeds
on board your craft.

1206
01:09:24,767 --> 01:09:28,703
I want you to keep them
contained and separate from you.

1207
01:09:28,705 --> 01:09:30,704
As you can tell by the
failed Chinese mission,

1208
01:09:30,706 --> 01:09:33,641
this is a very delectate
situation

1209
01:09:33,643 --> 01:09:37,043
and we must proceed
with the utmost caution.

1210
01:09:37,045 --> 01:09:39,881
I will be your direct contact
from this point forward.

1211
01:09:39,883 --> 01:09:42,048
As Becker seems to have made it
a habit

1212
01:09:42,050 --> 01:09:44,685
of making unauthorized messages.

1213
01:09:44,687 --> 01:09:47,754
Until you leave Eris and begin
your return journey home,

1214
01:09:47,756 --> 01:09:49,690
civilian personnel will
no longer be admitted

1215
01:09:49,692 --> 01:09:52,159
into Mission Control.

1216
01:09:52,161 --> 01:09:54,761
That includes your wife,
Commander.

1217
01:09:54,763 --> 01:09:56,230
I know this may be difficult for
you,

1218
01:09:56,232 --> 01:09:58,798
but it is necessary.

1219
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,472
Messages to her will
be relayed through us.

1220
01:10:03,540 --> 01:10:06,172
Good luck on your journey
to Eris, Commander.

1221
01:10:06,174 --> 01:10:07,173
And be cautious.

1222
01:10:07,175 --> 01:10:10,013

1227
01:11:34,796 --> 01:11:35,866
So tell me.

1228
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,699
What would posses you, or anyone
else,

1229
01:11:39,701 --> 01:11:43,003
to wanna risk their life
and fly around the cosmos

1230
01:11:43,005 --> 01:11:47,007
in a tiny rocket ship looking
for life?

1231
01:11:47,009 --> 01:11:48,744
Well, that's easy.

1232
01:11:49,745 --> 01:11:51,347
A sense of discovery.

1233
01:11:52,314 --> 01:11:53,916
Unexplored places.

1234
01:11:55,250 --> 01:11:57,784
The advancement of scientific
knowledge.

1235
01:11:57,786 --> 01:11:59,386
No, that's not it.

1236
01:11:59,388 --> 01:12:00,921
No?

1237
01:12:00,923 --> 01:12:01,791
No.

1238
01:12:03,759 --> 01:12:06,894
You're fighting for
significance.

1239
01:12:06,896 --> 01:12:10,297
You're a tiny speck in that
enormous universe out there.

1240
01:12:10,299 --> 01:12:14,168
And you're looking for man's
place in it.

1241
01:12:14,170 --> 01:12:17,841
You want meaning, just
like everybody else.

1242
01:12:20,710 --> 01:12:21,378
Well...

1243
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,715
If I'm looking for meaning,

1244
01:12:27,717 --> 01:12:30,920
the universe is a great place to
start.

1245
01:13:10,759 --> 01:13:11,894
There you are.

What the...

1250
01:14:02,010 --> 01:14:04,013
Neil, I found something.

1251
01:14:05,514 --> 01:14:07,181
[Neil] A sphere, captain?

1252
01:14:07,183 --> 01:14:08,051
Yeah.

1253
01:14:10,119 --> 01:14:12,054
There's something else.

1254
01:14:20,562 --> 01:14:23,766
[suspenseful music]

1255
01:14:39,549 --> 01:14:41,047
[laughing]

1256
01:14:41,049 --> 01:14:41,884
Neil...

1257
01:14:43,986 --> 01:14:44,988
We found it!

1258
01:15:02,237 --> 01:15:03,236
Ferdinand, approach complete.

1259
01:15:03,238 --> 01:15:04,872
I'm showing the Magellan's
docking mechanism

1260
01:15:04,874 --> 01:15:07,041
negative for lock at this time.

1261
01:15:07,043 --> 01:15:08,575
[Ferdinand] Docking
mechanism is ready, Commander.

1262
01:15:08,577 --> 01:15:09,446
Go ahead.

1263
01:15:10,979 --> 01:15:12,479
Ferd, I have a visual
on the docking hatch.

1264
01:15:12,481 --> 01:15:13,312
Lights are red.

1265
01:15:13,314 --> 01:15:15,548
Can you run a systems check,
please.

1266
01:15:15,550 --> 01:15:17,318
[Ferdinand] They checked
out affirmative, sir.

1267
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:18,455
Running again.

1268
01:15:19,522 --> 01:15:21,187
Docking mechanism is ready.

1269
01:15:21,189 --> 01:15:23,556
Proceed with docking at will.

1270
01:15:23,558 --> 01:15:26,360
Ferdinand, I have a
close visual on the hatch.

1271
01:15:26,362 --> 01:15:30,064
It appears to be closed,
locked, with red lights.

1272
01:15:30,066 --> 01:15:32,099
[Ferdinand] Sir, my systems
show green,

1273
01:15:32,101 --> 01:15:33,234
clear for docking.

1274
01:15:33,236 --> 01:15:35,034
Are you feeling alright, sir?

1275
01:15:35,036 --> 01:15:36,470
[warning beeping]

1276
01:15:36,472 --> 01:15:39,038
I'm feeling fine, Ferd, and
you?

1277
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:41,374
Are your systems functioning
today?

1278
01:15:41,376 --> 01:15:43,377
[Ferdinand] They
certainly appear to be, sir.

1279
01:15:43,379 --> 01:15:47,280
[speaking in foreign language]

1280
01:15:47,282 --> 01:15:48,552
What was that?

1281
01:15:51,353 --> 01:15:52,185
Ferd, I need you to clear

1282
01:15:52,187 --> 01:15:54,622
your local memory stacks
immediately.

1283
01:15:54,624 --> 01:15:56,257
[Ferdinand] Clearing memory,
sir.

1284
01:15:56,259 --> 01:15:58,292
[speaking in foreign language]

1285
01:15:58,294 --> 01:16:00,327
[Neil] Captain, I'm getting
a request from the Magellan

1286
01:16:00,329 --> 01:16:02,997
to access lander systems
for firmware update.

1287
01:16:02,999 --> 01:16:04,064
Denied.

1288
01:16:04,066 --> 01:16:05,532
Isolate all channels, Neil.

1289
01:16:05,534 --> 01:16:08,101
[Neil] Roger that.

1290
01:16:08,103 --> 01:16:09,336
Okay, Ferdinand, I need you to
listen

1291
01:16:09,338 --> 01:16:11,638
to my command carefully, here.

1292
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:14,440
Okay, I want you to disable
your ancillary memory stacks

1293
01:16:14,442 --> 01:16:17,578
and then refresh your
temp processing stack.

1294
01:16:17,580 --> 01:16:19,613
[Ferdinand] Disabling
ancillary memory.

1295
01:16:19,615 --> 01:16:22,483
I am now functioning at 65%
capacity.

1296
01:16:22,485 --> 01:16:24,618
Now clear your local memory
again.

1297
01:16:24,620 --> 01:16:27,557
[Ferdinand] Clearing memory,
sir.

1298
01:16:29,925 --> 01:16:32,359
Memory cleared, all
systems functioning, sir.

1299
01:16:32,361 --> 01:16:34,227
Proceed with manual docking
procedure.

1300
01:16:34,229 --> 01:16:35,962
Neil, I want you to stay
online

1301
01:16:35,964 --> 01:16:37,131
and keep all channels isolated

1302
01:16:37,133 --> 01:16:39,132
until you hear otherwise from
me.

1303
01:16:39,134 --> 01:16:40,501
[ Neil] Sir, once docking is
complete,

1304
01:16:40,503 --> 01:16:41,535
the central computer is
programmed

1305
01:16:41,537 --> 01:16:45,541
to automatically override
all lander systems.

1306
01:16:46,675 --> 01:16:48,879
[sighs]

1307
01:16:51,046 --> 01:16:52,079
[Ferdinand] Sir?

1308
01:16:52,081 --> 01:16:55,584
You may proceed with
manual docking procedure.

1309
01:16:57,519 --> 01:16:58,554
Proceeding.

1310
01:16:59,588 --> 01:17:02,592
[suspenseful music]

1311
01:17:13,969 --> 01:17:16,639
[warning beeping]

1312
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:21,443
What the hell was that
Ferdinand?

1313
01:17:22,411 --> 01:17:23,476
[Ferdinand] Captain Nelson,

1314
01:17:23,478 --> 01:17:25,078
a transmission from NASA has
arrived.

1315
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:27,146
No, no time for that now Ferd.

1316
01:17:27,148 --> 01:17:29,315
Close open input channels
immediately.

1317
01:17:29,317 --> 01:17:31,584
No more system updates
from NASA or anybody else.

1318
01:17:31,586 --> 01:17:34,454
And no external programming
changes, only mine.

1319
01:17:34,456 --> 01:17:35,689
[Ferdinand] It's done, but sir
...

1320
01:17:35,691 --> 01:17:37,358
You can let transmissions
through,

1321
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:38,191
but nothing touches your
firmware

1322
01:17:38,193 --> 01:17:41,729
without my explicit
authorization.

1323
01:17:41,731 --> 01:17:43,364
And setup a new outfacing
firewall

1324
01:17:43,366 --> 01:17:45,532
and give me the key and only me.

1325
01:17:45,534 --> 01:17:48,601
[Ferdinand] Yes, Commander.

1326
01:17:48,603 --> 01:17:49,537
Ferd, I want you to run

1327
01:17:49,539 --> 01:17:52,739
a deep systems check on your
processing.

1328
01:17:52,741 --> 01:17:54,541
But leave those ancillary
memory stacks disabled

1329
01:17:54,543 --> 01:17:57,610
until you have a direct order
from me to enable them, okay?

1330
01:17:57,612 --> 01:18:00,115
[Ferdinand] Confirmed, sir.

1331
01:18:16,531 --> 01:18:17,534
Hey, Ferd.

1332
01:18:19,602 --> 01:18:23,740
I got some samples that need
bio testing, immediately.

1333
01:18:37,385 --> 01:18:39,589
Okay, Ferd, it's all yours.

1334
01:18:42,491 --> 01:18:44,458
[Ferdinand] Yes, Commander,
beginning analysis.

1335
01:18:44,460 --> 01:18:45,462
Thank you.

1336
01:18:46,795 --> 01:18:49,665
[Ferdinand] Testing for
purines.

1337
01:18:53,602 --> 01:18:55,338
Purines are present.

1338
01:18:57,272 --> 01:18:59,141
Testing for phosphate.

1339
01:19:01,309 --> 01:19:03,112
Phosphate is present.

1340
01:19:05,347 --> 01:19:07,317
Testing for deoxyribose.

1341
01:19:16,525 --> 01:19:17,760
Come on, Ferd.

1342
01:19:20,495 --> 01:19:22,631
Tell me what I wanna know.

1343
01:19:24,700 --> 01:19:29,039
Is this extraterrestrial
life I'm looking at, or what?

1344
01:19:31,139 --> 01:19:33,142
[sighs]

1345
01:19:37,545 --> 01:19:40,616
[Ferdinand} Deoxyribose is
Present.

1346
01:19:43,219 --> 01:19:44,318
Affirmative.

1347
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:46,486
Commander Nelson the sample
is biological in nature

1348
01:19:46,488 --> 01:19:48,691
and appears to contain DNA.

1349
01:19:51,826 --> 01:19:52,695
Yes!

1350
01:19:54,530 --> 01:19:56,129
Yes, Ferdinand!

1351
01:19:56,131 --> 01:19:57,431
Thank you so much!

1352
01:19:57,433 --> 01:19:58,899
We did it, we did it, we did it.

1353
01:19:58,901 --> 01:19:59,800
Thank you, thank you.

1354
01:19:59,802 --> 01:20:02,468
[kisses monitor]

1355
01:20:02,470 --> 01:20:04,339
I love you, I mean it.

1356
01:20:06,909 --> 01:20:07,975
Unbelievable.

1357
01:20:07,977 --> 01:20:10,743
Hey, hey, we gotta tell
Neil, we gotta tell Neil.

1358
01:20:10,745 --> 01:20:12,479
Neil's not even real.

1359
01:20:12,481 --> 01:20:13,779
Oh, what do I do, what do I do?

1360
01:20:13,781 --> 01:20:15,349
[Ferdinand] I will attempt to
break down

1361
01:20:15,351 --> 01:20:17,517
the genetic code and
perform bio assay tests.

1362
01:20:17,519 --> 01:20:19,386
Should I transfer data to NASA
now?

1363
01:20:19,388 --> 01:20:20,256
No, no.

1364
01:20:21,756 --> 01:20:26,325
No, I'm gonna be the one to
break the big news to them.

1365
01:20:26,327 --> 01:20:28,531
[laughing]

1366
01:20:30,900 --> 01:20:33,300
Oh, and Ferd, all
messages we're gonna send,

1367
01:20:33,302 --> 01:20:35,802
they're gonna be unencrypted,
got it?

1368
01:20:35,804 --> 01:20:39,476
[Ferdinand] Sir,
that's against protocol.

1369
01:20:40,643 --> 01:20:41,611
Yes it is.

1370
01:20:43,946 --> 01:20:45,645
Yes!

1371
01:20:45,647 --> 01:20:48,215
Mission Control, this is
Commander Roger Nelson

1372
01:20:48,217 --> 01:20:49,917
with the IC Magellan.

1373
01:20:49,919 --> 01:20:53,352
Coming to you with a
slightly delayed broadcast,

1374
01:20:53,354 --> 01:20:56,923
somewhere in orbit around
the dwarf planet Eris.

1375
01:20:56,925 --> 01:20:57,725
[claps]

1376
01:20:57,727 --> 01:21:00,597
Becker, I got a surprise for
you.

1377
01:21:06,602 --> 01:21:08,235
We're not alone.

1378
01:21:08,237 --> 01:21:09,703
[laughing]

1379
01:21:09,705 --> 01:21:12,205
Ferdinand's still working
on the genetic breakdown,

1380
01:21:12,207 --> 01:21:14,641
but my best guess is
that it's some type of

1381
01:21:14,643 --> 01:21:17,476
extremophile colonial bacterium.

1382
01:21:17,478 --> 01:21:20,314
Maybe some form of biofilm, not
sure.

1383
01:21:20,316 --> 01:21:23,583
But it most certainly has DNA.

1384
01:21:23,585 --> 01:21:24,552
[laughs]

1385
01:21:24,554 --> 01:21:26,619
I'm gonna be sending
pictures and data soon,

1386
01:21:26,621 --> 01:21:29,623
but I just had to show this to
you.

1387
01:21:29,625 --> 01:21:30,460
Whoa!

1388
01:21:31,660 --> 01:21:34,293
How about that Abigail?

1389
01:21:34,295 --> 01:21:36,495
Life in outer space?

1390
01:21:36,497 --> 01:21:37,431
Thought about naming it after
you,

1391
01:21:37,433 --> 01:21:40,833
but I don't think it's quite
sexy enough.

1392
01:21:40,835 --> 01:21:42,435
So Becker, you can claim it.

1393
01:21:42,437 --> 01:21:46,606
Thinking about calling it
Bacterium Beckerococcus.

1394
01:21:46,608 --> 01:21:47,809
Think about it.

1395
01:21:49,277 --> 01:21:50,479
Um, alright...

1396
01:21:53,314 --> 01:21:54,183
Abbie...

1397
01:21:58,454 --> 01:22:02,288
I'm so sorry that I've
been gone for so long.

1398
01:22:02,290 --> 01:22:05,561
But I want you to know, I'm
coming home.

1399
01:22:06,862 --> 01:22:09,762
And if the spheres let me,

1400
01:22:09,764 --> 01:22:13,235
I'm gonna dream about you the
whole way.

1401
01:22:14,803 --> 01:22:16,439
I miss you so much.

1402
01:22:18,339 --> 01:22:19,474
Hang in there.

1403
01:22:24,513 --> 01:22:28,651
Oh and Stewart, there was
an incident with Ferdinand.

1404
01:22:31,719 --> 01:22:34,620
You might want to check your
firewall.

1405
01:22:34,622 --> 01:22:39,325
In the meantime, I'll be taking
total control of the ship.

1406
01:22:39,327 --> 01:22:42,462
This is Commander Nelson, out.

1407
01:22:42,464 --> 01:22:44,934
Handle that, Secretary Stewart.

1408
01:23:00,348 --> 01:23:02,382
[sighs]

1409
01:23:02,384 --> 01:23:04,787
No, you are not sexy, are you.

1410
01:23:06,021 --> 01:23:08,691
You're not intelligent, either.

1411
01:23:09,991 --> 01:23:11,860
Which makes me wonder.

1412
01:23:15,997 --> 01:23:18,800
Why did they want me to find
you?

1413
01:23:24,606 --> 01:23:27,039
[taps glass]

1414
01:23:27,041 --> 01:23:29,476
Still no reply from Mission
Control?

1415
01:23:29,478 --> 01:23:31,377
It's been like four and a half
hours.

1416
01:23:31,379 --> 01:23:32,078
[Ferdinand] They're likely
concerned

1417
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:34,381
with my system lockdown, sir.

1418
01:23:34,383 --> 01:23:36,449
Between that, and time it
takes for transmission,

1419
01:23:36,451 --> 01:23:39,785
I expect a return message
within the next hour.

1420
01:23:39,787 --> 01:23:42,989
I bet it's gonna be a good one
too.

1421
01:23:42,991 --> 01:23:46,392
Stewart might have me
court-martialed.

1422
01:23:46,394 --> 01:23:48,395
Have you finished your systems
check?

1423
01:23:48,397 --> 01:23:50,830
[Ferdinand] Yes, sir, and
found nothing out of order.

1424
01:23:50,832 --> 01:23:54,767
Good, 'cause NASA had
better figure this one out.

1425
01:23:54,769 --> 01:23:56,136
I'm a little worried having my
life depend

1426
01:23:56,138 --> 01:23:58,939
on a 65% functioning computer.

1427
01:23:58,941 --> 01:24:01,440
[Ferdinand] Actually,
it's more like 45%,

1428
01:24:01,442 --> 01:24:02,676
allowing for backup processes

1429
01:24:02,678 --> 01:24:04,610
and redundant parallel
computing.

1430
01:24:04,612 --> 01:24:05,546
If you would allow me

1431
01:24:05,548 --> 01:24:06,980
to just bring my peripherals
back online.

1432
01:24:06,982 --> 01:24:09,319
I'm sorry, Ferd, but no.

1433
01:24:45,521 --> 01:24:46,589
What are you?

1434
01:24:48,756 --> 01:24:51,494
[tonal humming]

1435
01:25:04,138 --> 01:25:06,875
[tonal humming]

1436
01:25:20,888 --> 01:25:23,825
[distorted voices]

1437
01:25:50,518 --> 01:25:54,488
[electronic whistling]

1438
01:25:54,490 --> 01:25:55,157
Ahh!

1439
01:25:58,994 --> 01:26:00,760
Ferdinand, what was that?

1440
01:26:00,762 --> 01:26:02,828
[Ferdinand] An immense
burst of radio signals.

1441
01:26:02,830 --> 01:26:04,263
Several million transmissions
playing

1442
01:26:04,265 --> 01:26:06,833
simultaneously through our comms
system.

1443
01:26:06,835 --> 01:26:08,702
The burst seems to have
come from the spheres,

1444
01:26:08,704 --> 01:26:10,136
but I am unsure how they gained
access

1445
01:26:10,138 --> 01:26:11,741
to our audio feed.

1446
01:26:21,650 --> 01:26:24,184
Start analyzing this,
Ferdinand.

1447
01:26:24,186 --> 01:26:27,052
And I want you to make sure
and log it in your data store.

1448
01:26:27,054 --> 01:26:30,289
I wanna know where this is
coming from and what it is.

1449
01:26:30,291 --> 01:26:32,495
[Ferdinand] Analyzing.

1450
01:26:34,295 --> 01:26:37,196
There are millions of channels,
billions of signals each

1451
01:26:37,198 --> 01:26:39,266
and trillions of transmiss...

1452
01:26:39,268 --> 01:26:40,434
I am unable...

1453
01:26:40,436 --> 01:26:44,803
Sir, at this scale I may not
be able to log everything.

1454
01:26:44,805 --> 01:26:48,941
I'm operating at only 65% and I
can't...

1455
01:26:48,943 --> 01:26:51,744
I've never encountered
a data set this immense.

1456
01:26:51,746 --> 01:26:53,279
Sir, I'm unable to...

1457
01:26:53,281 --> 01:26:55,015
It's okay.

1458
01:26:55,017 --> 01:26:59,155
I want you to log and analyze
the first 1,000 transmissions.

1459
01:27:02,290 --> 01:27:03,823
[Ferdinand] It appears
to be radio chatter

1460
01:27:03,825 --> 01:27:05,324
originating from multiple
different locations

1461
01:27:05,326 --> 01:27:08,060
in the galaxy, being
relayed through the spheres

1462
01:27:08,062 --> 01:27:09,962
and into our comm system.

1463
01:27:09,964 --> 01:27:12,766
I can't interpret the chatter.

1464
01:27:12,768 --> 01:27:14,868
How can you tell where it's
coming from?

1465
01:27:14,870 --> 01:27:16,636
[Ferdinand] There are
codes embedded in each signal

1466
01:27:16,638 --> 01:27:19,338
that gives relative distances
from the center of the galaxy,

1467
01:27:19,340 --> 01:27:21,675
along with vector information
to pinpoint locations

1468
01:27:21,677 --> 01:27:24,010
within a star system and
exoplanet.

1469
01:27:24,012 --> 01:27:28,150
I'm plotting these locations
on the main screen now.

1470
01:27:31,753 --> 01:27:34,689
[computer beeping]

1471
01:27:37,692 --> 01:27:40,193
There are other metadata
associated with each signal,

1472
01:27:40,195 --> 01:27:42,861
one of which may be a form of
timestamp.

1473
01:27:42,863 --> 01:27:44,830
If it is a time stamp,
then all of these signals

1474
01:27:44,832 --> 01:27:47,836
are nearly simultaneous and
ongoing.

1475
01:27:53,741 --> 01:27:57,209
Are you saying these
messages are current?

1476
01:27:57,211 --> 01:28:00,879
They're being transmitted right
now?

1477
01:28:00,881 --> 01:28:02,782
[Ferdinand] Either that,
or they were all transmitted

1478
01:28:02,784 --> 01:28:04,284
within moments of each other at
some point

1479
01:28:04,286 --> 01:28:06,319
in the distant past.

1480
01:28:06,321 --> 01:28:08,221
The timestamp data point is a
number

1481
01:28:08,223 --> 01:28:12,626
approximately 4.32 times
10 to the 17th power.

1482
01:28:12,628 --> 01:28:13,726
All the transmissions are
stamped

1483
01:28:13,728 --> 01:28:14,794
with numbers close to that.

1484
01:28:14,796 --> 01:28:18,097
And they are all incrementing
at the same rate.

1485
01:28:18,099 --> 01:28:21,303
[electronic crackling]

1486
01:28:22,237 --> 01:28:24,870
These numbers, 4.32
times 10 to the 17th power,

1487
01:28:24,872 --> 01:28:28,074
what significance does that
hold?

1488
01:28:28,076 --> 01:28:29,175
[Ferdinand] It is close

1489
01:28:29,177 --> 01:28:31,211
to the age of the universe in
seconds.

1490
01:28:31,213 --> 01:28:33,980
The observable time
elapsed since the big bang.

1491
01:28:33,982 --> 01:28:35,414
But it is unlikely that
interstellar signals

1492
01:28:35,416 --> 01:28:38,286
would be based on Earth's
seconds.

1493
01:28:39,254 --> 01:28:43,593
But, if these others were
anything like us humans

1494
01:28:44,425 --> 01:28:47,026
then a second would be the
minimal amount

1495
01:28:47,028 --> 01:28:49,061
of time significant to all of
us,

1496
01:28:49,063 --> 01:28:52,132
outside of precise measurements.

1497
01:28:52,134 --> 01:28:55,668
An Earth year wouldn't
be meaningful, Ferd.

1498
01:28:55,670 --> 01:28:59,808
But a moment in time, that
could be common across space.

1499
01:29:02,943 --> 01:29:05,177
The time to takes to...

1500
01:29:05,179 --> 01:29:08,213
Take a breath, for a heart to
beat...

1501
01:29:08,215 --> 01:29:09,352
To say a word.

1502
01:29:10,553 --> 01:29:12,886
[Ferdinand] Perhaps, but
under our current understanding

1503
01:29:12,888 --> 01:29:15,020
of relativity, it's impossible
for signals

1504
01:29:15,022 --> 01:29:17,356
to be transmitted across
space from those distant stars

1505
01:29:17,358 --> 01:29:19,324
without travel times of many
years.

1506
01:29:19,326 --> 01:29:22,828
Unless, they're using
quantum entanglement,

1507
01:29:22,830 --> 01:29:25,131
and they're outputting
the signal on our end

1508
01:29:25,133 --> 01:29:28,070
in radio waves so we can hear
them.

1509
01:29:28,969 --> 01:29:30,970
[Ferdinand] That shouldn't be
possible.

1510
01:29:30,972 --> 01:29:32,739
[laughs]

1511
01:29:32,741 --> 01:29:35,975
None of this should
be possible, Ferdinand.

1512
01:29:35,977 --> 01:29:38,912
I mean, I'm holding alien
artifacts in my hands right now,

1513
01:29:38,914 --> 01:29:41,651
none of this should be possible.

1514
01:29:48,089 --> 01:29:49,722
This...

1515
01:29:49,724 --> 01:29:50,660
This is...

1516
01:29:52,494 --> 01:29:56,863
This is the moment we've
been waiting for, Ferd.

1517
01:29:56,865 --> 01:30:01,003
This is the moment all of
mankind has been waiting for.

1518
01:30:05,139 --> 01:30:06,409
We're not alone.

1519
01:30:08,309 --> 01:30:11,714
We just haven't been able to
hear them.

1520
01:30:14,915 --> 01:30:17,917
What are they saying, Ferdinand?

1521
01:30:17,919 --> 01:30:21,120
Can you infer any patterns in
the signals?

1522
01:30:21,122 --> 01:30:24,457
Is it speech, machine
language, text, music, what?

1523
01:30:24,459 --> 01:30:26,359
[Ferdinand] It could be
any assortment of each.

1524
01:30:26,361 --> 01:30:27,961
The signals vary wildly.

1525
01:30:27,963 --> 01:30:29,061
It would take about six years
for me

1526
01:30:29,063 --> 01:30:31,431
to run correlations between
enough of these signals

1527
01:30:31,433 --> 01:30:34,199
to begin piecing together an
alphabet or speech pattern,

1528
01:30:34,201 --> 01:30:35,267
if that's what they are.

1529
01:30:35,269 --> 01:30:37,403
Perhaps if you brought my
full memory back online.

1530
01:30:37,405 --> 01:30:40,105
Not gonna happen, not now
anyway.

1531
01:30:40,107 --> 01:30:42,141
[Ferdinand] In any
event, all the binary data

1532
01:30:42,143 --> 01:30:45,080
seems to be encoded in a DNA
codex.

1533
01:30:46,814 --> 01:30:49,181
[dramatic music]

1534
01:30:49,183 --> 01:30:51,986
They communicate with DNA
code?

1535
01:30:54,022 --> 01:30:55,825
That's a lot of data.

1536
01:31:32,227 --> 01:31:35,895
[rhythmic humming]

1537
01:31:35,897 --> 01:31:37,497
What's happening, Ferdinand?

1538
01:31:37,499 --> 01:31:39,132
[Ferdinand] A new signal, sir.

1539
01:31:39,134 --> 01:31:40,300
From inside our solar system,

1540
01:31:40,302 --> 01:31:43,837
but more distant than the
others.

1541
01:31:43,839 --> 01:31:45,107
A new arrival?

1542
01:31:46,374 --> 01:31:48,007
[Ferdinand] No, it's coming
from

1543
01:31:48,009 --> 01:31:50,376
a dark body within the Oort
Cloud.

1544
01:31:50,378 --> 01:31:53,346
Well beyond the explored
regions of the solar system.

1545
01:31:53,348 --> 01:31:55,614
About a third of a light year
from earth.

1546
01:31:55,616 --> 01:31:56,485
Wow.

1547
01:31:58,119 --> 01:32:00,121
That's a long ways away.

1548
01:32:04,192 --> 01:32:06,092
Ferd, how long would it take to
get there?

1549
01:32:06,094 --> 01:32:08,227
[Ferdinand] Approximately 38
years,

1550
01:32:08,229 --> 01:32:09,529
provided the Magellan's systems

1551
01:32:09,531 --> 01:32:11,330
remained functional throughout.

1552
01:32:11,332 --> 01:32:13,233
Shall I transmit our findings to
NASA

1553
01:32:13,235 --> 01:32:17,569
and prep the stasis box
for the journey home, sir?

1554
01:32:17,571 --> 01:32:19,204
Sure, yeah.

1555
01:32:19,206 --> 01:32:21,276
You go ahead and do that.

1556
01:32:36,023 --> 01:32:38,294
They brought us this far...

1557
01:32:43,365 --> 01:32:45,434
There has to be a reason.

1558
01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:55,074
Abigail, I can't imagine how
difficult

1559
01:32:55,076 --> 01:32:58,347
these last five years have been
for you.

1560
01:33:02,349 --> 01:33:05,553
And I'm so sorry, I haven't been
there.

1561
01:33:09,491 --> 01:33:11,894
But I have to move forward.

1562
01:33:14,362 --> 01:33:18,100
It's hard to explain,
but they're calling me

1563
01:33:19,701 --> 01:33:21,503
and I have to answer.

1564
01:33:25,639 --> 01:33:30,310
There's something left
for me to do out there.

1565
01:33:30,312 --> 01:33:32,581
And I don't know what it is.

1566
01:33:34,316 --> 01:33:36,452
I just know, or I believe,

1567
01:33:38,053 --> 01:33:41,991
that the answer is
somewhere in the Oort Cloud.

1568
01:33:44,224 --> 01:33:46,394
So that's where I'm headed.

1569
01:33:50,231 --> 01:33:52,367
I'm following my own path.

1570
01:34:00,140 --> 01:34:03,141
I know it's been so selfish of
me

1571
01:34:03,143 --> 01:34:05,347
to expect so much from you.

1572
01:34:11,452 --> 01:34:13,019
So I want you to know

1573
01:34:13,021 --> 01:34:13,889
that I am...

1574
01:34:16,023 --> 01:34:19,494
I'm giving you the
option to refuse orders.

1575
01:34:25,265 --> 01:34:28,568
And I release you of any
obligation

1576
01:34:28,570 --> 01:34:31,240
you have towards me whatsoever.

1577
01:34:32,406 --> 01:34:36,244
So that you can live
your life as you see fit.

1578
01:34:50,592 --> 01:34:52,291
Before I go into stasis,

1579
01:34:52,293 --> 01:34:55,296
I wanted to make one last chess
move

1580
01:34:56,531 --> 01:35:00,001
and it's gonna seem a little
unorthodox.

1581
01:35:07,275 --> 01:35:08,143
King G6.

1582
01:35:22,189 --> 01:35:23,388
[Ferdinand] Sir, I believe
that move

1583
01:35:23,390 --> 01:35:27,629
places your king in check
with her pawn and is illegal.

1584
01:35:28,729 --> 01:35:30,331
You are correct.

1585
01:35:33,835 --> 01:35:35,735
Ferdinand, I want you to send

1586
01:35:35,737 --> 01:35:38,540
that message unencrypted,
please.

1587
01:35:39,540 --> 01:35:43,409
Then set a trajectory for
the signal in the Oort Cloud.

1588
01:35:43,411 --> 01:35:47,113
Want you to get us there
as fast as possible.

1589
01:35:47,115 --> 01:35:49,382
[Ferdinand] Sir, we're
still awaiting NASA's reply

1590
01:35:49,384 --> 01:35:50,316
and it is...

1591
01:35:50,318 --> 01:35:53,151
Ferdinand, I am the mission
commander

1592
01:35:53,153 --> 01:35:55,223
and you have your orders.

1593
01:36:00,394 --> 01:36:02,130
Into the Oort Cloud.

1594
01:36:10,537 --> 01:36:12,504
[Becker] Commander
Nelson, Secretary Stewart

1595
01:36:12,506 --> 01:36:16,542
has brought me back in
here to reason with you.

1596
