- About the upcoming one Samsara International mission to Mars,

sources within the European Space Agency,

speaking off the record, have confirmed that

the upcoming international mission to Mars could be in

jeopardy after last week's assassination of China's president.

Xang Wan Xu.

- With NASA funding [indistinct] planets with

projects as part of the 2024 acres infrastructure, China's

National Space Administration stepped into a leadership

role that's [indistinct] . A big improvement with the BLC,

both went to the top of Britain's military...

- NASA Samsara Liaison continues to deny that the mission has been compromised,

insisting that the Samsara Missions International

is united in their goals and focus.

- I believe we can send humans to orbit Mars and return them safely to earth.

And a landing on Mars will follow, and I expect to be around to see it.

- Like the science of ignition, space and [unintelligible]

Samsara exists outside of politics.

Half the world wants the death of President Xang.

- Commander Robert Xu has met with 48 of [indistinct]

clearly showing them that the fight will go on.

Man will set foot on Mars before the end of the year.

-[indistinct PA announcement]

- Where is she? - The lab.

- You left her there alone? - She's fine.

Bianca's doing the blood work.

-She likes Bianca.

-Yeah. Yeah she does.

-OK, let's go.

-Kat?

Kat? - What?!

What?!!

- The doctor wants to talk to us. - No!

- About Amelia. Kat... - No!!

-We need to hear what he has to say.

- [indistinct PA announcement]...please report to the nurses' station.

-I'm sorry.

-You said it was gone.

- What I said was that it was in remission.

We always knew there was a chance it... - You said it was gone!

-It's never that simple.

-Explain it then. Huh?

Feel free to use short words.

- The tumors have spread... - Tumors?

As in more than one?

What are our options? Chemo, surgery, radiation, what?

- I'm afraid that... - None of the above!

I'm going to be in the lab with Amelia.

-All available personnel to the ER...

- Katherine's been under a lot of pressure.

With the... mission coming up.

-I can imagine.

And now this.

It must be...

very frustrating to...

come so close and then have to step aside and

to... hand over your place in history to someone else.

-She's not stepping aside.

We all agree.

Katherine's going to Mars.

How long?

- There's no way of telling... and in cases like this...

-Amelia... her name is Amelia!

So this is where the party is. - Daddy!

- Hi. - We're all done here.

But you may want to swing by the cafeteria to get

some juice, OK, 'cause I took a lot of blood.

-Hmm... juice sounds good.

Crans ras?

Oh, I know, I know, I know... pickle juice and strained sauerkraut.

Sound good?

-No... I wanna go home.

I'm tired.

-OK.

Piggyback ride. Huh?

Come on, come on, come on... Oh, yeah! Oh, you're getting heavy!

- Bye, Bianca. - Bye.

-Before I met you,

the only constellation I could name was the Big Dipper.

-Everybody starts with the Big Dipper.

And Orion.

-Amelia asked me for a telescope.

For Christmas.

So she could see you on Mars.

- I'm thinking maybe you should get it for her birthday instead.

-The doctor said...

the doctor said that we should...

appreciate the time we have with her.

It doesn't matter if it's three weeks,

or three years.

-Three years?

He said three years? He was that specific?

He said three years? - It could be longer.

- I won't be back for three years. - It could be longer, he said.

Amelia's strong. She's... she's a fighter.

She's like you. - Like me?

I mean, what kind of mother abandons a a dying child?

- You are the greatest mother a little girl could ask for.

And the greatest wife.

You don't just belong to us.

What you're doing... is gonna make the world a better place.

Not just for me and you and Amelia, but for everyone.

-If there is even a mission...

- Well, you don't think the Chinese will... pull out?

- No. But the guy who shot the president... he was American.

- It's not in the news. - Yeah, they're trying to embargo it, but

the... the PRC intelligence Agents tracked him down

to Hong Kong and took him into custody this morning.

He claims he's part of a group that doesn't want humanity to leave earth.

- If God wanted man to fly, he had given him wings.

- Exactly. - What a mess.

-It's all a mess.

And all we're going to do is bring our problems with us.

Man's greatest export to the universe.

-My granddad once told me

that when he was fifteen it was the worst year he went through.

Robert Kennedy was just assassinated,

and Martin Luther King,

The My Lai massacre happened,

Russian tanks were rolling into Czechoslovakia and

it was just one god awful thing after another.

And there was no reason to believe that 1969 would be any better.

And then Apollo 11 made it to the moon!

And Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong... they left their footprints in the moon dust!

And my granddad said that when he saw those footprints,

he felt like crying,

because he knew that... everything was gonna be OK.

You need to leave your footprints in the Mars dust

so that everyone will know it's gonna be OK.

That no matter what's happening right now, there's something bigger out there.

You need to give people hope.

- We're going to enhance these beautiful cheekbones.

-You alright, sweetie?

-I don't feel so good.

-Do you want...

Oh...

it's OK, Melie.

It's alright. Oh, thanks.

- Oh, don't cry, sweetheart. Do you need the bathroom?

- No... - It's just out the door, to the right.

-I'm so sorry...

it's... you know, the meds she's on, it's...

-My son had a bad stomach.

Cancer.

He had cancer.

- Alright, baby. - You need some roses on your cheeks.

Sit.

Alright, roses comin' up.

-Tickles.

Sissy! - How are you, my lovely girl?

Oh my.

- Safari njema. Did I say it right? - Oh...

Perfectly, my dear. I'll see you there. - Yeah.

Constance, can I speak to you a second?

-You look beautiful.

- Safari... nje... what? - Njema! It means "bon Voyage" in Swahili.

- Ahh... - Well, look at you.

-Constance gave me roses.

-Roses in the cheeks.

Constance... uh, felt that she was... uh, looking really pale.

-I threw up in front of Constance.

- Was this before or after... she gave you the roses?

-Before.

I'm thirsty.

- Why don't you guys go grab something from the snack cart?

Yeah? Even if the press conference starts on time, you've got about half an hour.

- You want anything? I know you didn't eat breakfast.

What's breakfast? - The most important meal of the day.

-That's right.

We'll get you a muffin. Come on. - Bye.

- Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Samsara International Space Team.

- Jeff Taylor, Toronto globe and mail. My question is for Dr. Liu.

You have a long history in heterogeneous catalysis and surface science.

You've pioneered work with nano tubes, nano materials and nano structures.

How will your work be integrated into the mission?

-It is the mission.

Without nano technology and nano materials, there is no Mars colony.

Without me, there is no mission.

- So wait, you mean I can stay home and watch the World Cup?

-Hello, Elvis.

-Hi, Mira. Nice to see you again.

- Mira Morganthau, ionine.com.

You'll be in charge of communications for the Sumsar Mission, is that correct?

-That is the word in the street.

-So, essentially you'll be wiring Mars?

- Designing the Colony's communication infrastructure, yes.

And, once I'm done,

you'll never be able to say "In space, no one can hear you scream."

-Heroku Okomura, NHK.

Dr. Voss,

you've said that you'll be conducting studies

into the nature of the dark matter principle.

- Yes. And expanding on the groundbreaking work conducted by David Krain.

- Can you explain to my viewers exactly what dark matter is?

- Well, if I knew that, Hiroko, I wouldn't have to go to Mars.

-Amina Labibi, Al Jazeera.

My question is for you, Dr. Biira.

- Yes? - Your role on this mission is...

more observational and less action. Is it not?

-Are you asking me if I'm with the band?

Forgive me my little joke,

I understand that my function may not seem as important as those of my colleagues',

I won't be conducting abstract studies like Kathryn

or doing biomedical research like Lucien,

but I'd like to think my work on group dynamics could prove useful in the future.

I'll be expanding on the Mars 500 experiments from 2009 to 2011,

and, on the year-long high seas project of 2015,

which focused on crew member cohesion and performance.

Mars is a long way away, and the quarters we'll be sharing are rather small.

It's not like we can send someone back to

earth for a... a time-out if they get cranky.

-Speaking of that,

don't you think given the considerable cost of this mission,

that we should be focused on colonization, not simply exploring?

- I think you should consider us more as a landing party rather than an invading army.

Our goals are no less ambitious.

Our commitment is total, but

our scope is more focused.

We are there to prepare the way.

- Was the failure of the Mars first initiative

forcing a reevaluation of this mission?

Did science fail us?

-She's unsuitable.

- The Mars first disaster was not a failure of science.

It was a failure of trust.

-And you? You trust this mission?

-I do.

-We'll be back.

- Are you really going to leave your dying child to go on this... adventure?

-I'm sorry, you're with...?

-Dr. Liu,

perhaps you'd like to comment on the allegations that

your agency plans to plant the Chinese flag on Mars

and claim all the resources for the PRC alone.

- You know about the Antarctica Treaty of 1959.

It prohibits military activities, mineral mining,

and detonating nuclear explosions in Antarctica.

Today, 71 nations have signed it.

The Mars Treaty is fashioned on the very same principles.

This is a scientific mission

being conducted by an international team for the benefit of all mankind.

-You mean humankind.

-Have I answered your question?

-Yeah, but, um...

just one thing,

As far back as 2015, the International Academy of Astronautics proclaimed

that mineral resources found in space are actually game changers.

They even went on to recommend us how we can further

elaborate to these resources. Are you familiar with the study?

I believe one of the co-editors was you

mentor at the Beijing Institute of Technology.

-What is your question?

- Just what does Antarctica have that anyone would want?

Penguins?

But Mars?

It will be an intergalactic gold rush.

It's gonna be hard to stay high-minded.

-This is what's wrong with capitalism.

-My parents have come to watch the launch!

My mother is cooking tonight all my favorites.

Will you come?

You and John and Amelia?

-I have to go now, baby.

-I know.

I made this for you.

That's Mars.

I was gonna draw us a sea,

and all this dark moon

and [indistinct], but I didn't have brown.

-That's OK.

We could pretend they're visiting the other side of the planet.

-OK.

I wish I could go with you.

I wanna float in space.

-I'll make you a deal.

When I come home,

we'll float together.

-Really?

-I promise.

-Dad’s sad you're going away.

He says he's happy but I can tell.

- You are just gonna take care of him while I'm gone. Alright?

Make sure he doesn't eat ice cream.

And that he smiles at least once a day.

- He's... - I know...

And it's not good for him, so remind him.

-OK.

And if I'm not here [indistinct]?

-Come on.

-If I'm not here?

Don't be sad if I'm not here when you come back.

I'll make you lots of pictures.

Mom?

You're squishing me. - Sorry, sorry.

Sorry baby. -It's OK.

-My ride's here.

Mommy's gotta go, sweetie.

- OK. - OK.

I'll still come home, I promise.

Nothing's gonna stop me from coming home to you.

-[off screen] Ignition sequence start.

6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

-[off screen] Prepare for separation.

Mark...

-Call F779...

- [off screen conversation continues]

[inaudible]...report separation... it's over...

- [inaudible]...We're ready in 10. - Initiate the docking sequence.

[indistinct conversation continues]

-No, it's 45 miles.

- Not going to land the right alignment tonight.

Pick up. - [indistinct] 86690...[indistinct]...zero degrees.

- Perfect, we made it. .144866 swift, over.

-[indistinct]

at one point [indistinct] and it's back to [indistinct]

-15161, over.

10617...

- Clear out every power [indistinct] in the [indistinct]

group hydraulics. We're hovering to help them start it.

- I hadn't planned to pick a bullet up to my neck and...[indistinct]

and [indistinct].

[indistinct] has been moved to position.

- All I'm saying is we need to think about it.

For 70 years we have been stuck with 'one small

step for man, one giant leap for mankind'

Where is the poetry in that?

- Why are you worried? You're not gonna be the first one out the door anyway.

-OK... so what are you gonna say?

-I'll think of something.

-Yeah, see, that's what I'm afraid of.

- Remember Yuri Gagarin. The first words a human ever spoke in space.

He said "Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is.""

"People, let's preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it!"

- He also said "I looked and looked but I didn't see God."

-Yeah, well, he was a godless communist.

No offense. - None taken.

- Actually he was a Russian Orthodox and he never said those words.

That quote came from a speech Khrushchev made.

- Now, he was a godless communist. - Amen, brother.

3 YEARS LATER

- Flight controllers, we're looking very carefully into the situation.

Obviously a major malfunction.

- We have the report from the Flight Dynamic

Officer that the vehicle has exploded.

Flight director confirms that we are looking at... uh...

checking with the recovery forces to see... uh...

what can be done at this point.

- If you're just joining us, here's what we know so far.

At 2:57 PM, the Samsera spacecraft returning from its three year Mars mission,

suffered what NASA is calling a catastrophic event.

The craft suffered an in-flight breakdown as it entered the atmosphere,

leaving debris stretching across three states.

NASA officials have confirmed that the accident was not survivable.

-Mr.Voss!!

- Mr.Voss, do you know anything... - Get out!

- The cable went out. I went online and none of the

news stations say anything about the accident.

- Maybe it was a mistake. some sort of... freaky meteor shower. You know? and then.

And them some yahoo at the news just panicked and then went on the air!

-They just don't want us to know!

She promised she'd come home. She said nothing

on earth could stop her from coming home!

I stayed here for her!

It hurts so much, but I stayed here!

- I know, honey, I know you're hurting. - It hurts!

Stop it! - Take a deep breath.

Amelia, remember what the doctor said?

Deep breath..deep... - I don't care what the doctor said! I...

- Honey... - I want mom.

-Amelia?!

Amelia?!

Amelia? Honey? Amelia?

Oh, honey...

-Look.

What is this? Check it out.

-Hey! Come here! Hurry up!

-Oh my God.

-Was it a missile?

A meteorite? A goddamned lightning bolt from heaven?

I need some answers right now.

Yes. Right now!

-Sir? You need to see this.

- Where'd you get this image? - In the satellite feed.

- There's a satellite above the debris field?

Blind it. - We can't do that.

-Do it!

- Sky News is calling. - Ignore what I said!

No one talks to the press! - It's Google.

- No one talks to Google. - Elvis...

Dr.Price Johnson worked with them.

- No one talks to Google, no one talks to the families, no one talks to to no one.

This never happened.

Are we clear?

Are we clear?! - Yes, sir.

-Where are you?

I need you in the [indistinct]

Now.

-Good morning.

You missed breakfast.

But it didn't look very tasty.

Poached egg and grits.

Thirsty?

My name is Wyatt Roberts.

I work for the Director of National Intelligence.

You'd never heard of us.

We're the guys who brief the president

when there are incidents like yours.

-Incidents?

I don't... - Amnesia?

Seriously?

That's your play?

-Why are you dressed like that?

-You're in quarantine.

-Do I have Ebola?

-We're not sure what's going on with you.

Let's just say you're in quarantine until we can figure out why you're still alive.

It's kind of a miracle.

-Elvis was looking for you.

-You missed the Morning News today.

-Oh. Let me guess.

Terrorist attacks in London. World currency in free fall.

[indistinct] found in makeup.

- Actually, it was terrorist attacks in Paris.

-It's the same every day!

I don't even know why they go through the trouble!

-H--how's Amelia?

-She's alive.

I don't know how, but

she's alive.

-You know,

[indistinct] study is showing that people can stay out of death

when there's something they're willing to stay alive for!

-She's waiting for me.

-It won't be long now.

It won't be long. Awe, we're going home...

We're going home. We're going home. - Yeah.

- We're going home! - We're going home!

We're going home! - Yes!

-What's the last thing you remember?

- I was in my daughter's room, and I was looking at the stars.

I have a daughter...

-You were looking at the stars...

Out the window?

-I...

on the walls.

She has posters.

My daughter, Amelia, she... she must be worried about me.

I need to go see her.

I have to go see her.

-You're not going anywhere.

- Why? - I told you.

You're in quarantine.

We have some more tests to run on you before you can be released.

-I need to see my little girl.

And John...

I need to see John.

I need to see my husband and my little girl.

-And you will.

Just as soon as we know it's safe.

-Is that why the door is locked?

Is the door locked to keep me safe?

-No, Dr. Voss.

It's locked to keep us safe.

You want to run some tests, right? Let's do it!

Where are my clothes?

-You don't have any clothes.

We found you naked.

-Found me...

-Now, you listen to me, you son of a bitch.

The only thing that's kept my daughter alive these past

three years is the thought of seeing her mother again.

And this afternoon she saw her blow up on television!

I got a dead wife, and a kid on the hospital.

And the phone number of CNN science reporter on my speed dial, now,

if I don't get some answers pretty damn quick, I'm gonna start making some noise!

Oh, National Security?!

Don't pull that Homeland security crap on me!

If you don't have the clearance to give me some

answers, you better find me someone who does!

- We're going to be measuring the electrical

activity in your brain using these electrodes.

- Yeah, I'm familiar with the EEG technology.

-Good.

This afternoon we're going to be doing a PET scan

and establishing base lines and compare what we get to the test NASA has on file.

-What are you doing?

- Mapping the pleasure centers of my brain.

-We already know where they are.

-True, but there's nothing like...

Oh... Primary research.

-Perv.

-OK, let's begin.

State your name.

-Dr... Kathryn... Voss.

-Whoa!

- Can you tell from the brain activity if she's faking amnesia?

- Huh... - What?

-This is off-the-charts weird.

-Weird how?

- Weird as in impossible. What kind of questions were you asking her?

- We ran the scan three times with the same results.

And?

Every time she showed the same pattern of activity.

It's like she has complete control over her subconscious mind.

-Then she's faking the amnesia.

- Faking... no. Post-traumatic amnesia is very common.

But forget about the bizarre brain waves. Her blood work is what's really strange.

We tested her blood and found 71 amino acids.

-71?

-Can you just tell me what it means?

-Two weeks before she went to Mars,

Kathryn Voss had only 21 amino acids in her body.

- So? - Well, I mean...

Am... Amino acids... they're... they don't...

human beings only have 21.

-You're saying she's not human?

-Not anymore.

-Plus sign.

Star.

Square.

Star.

Wavy lines.

Star.... Star.... Star... Star... Star....

Star!

How are the oxygen levels? - Down to 19%.

-And... uh... how's the night vision?

- Wouldn't be a problem unless it's under 17%.

But the sooner you get those oxygen generators online, the better.

- Um–hum. - You know?

I keep thinking if I look at those plants long enough,

one of them is going to morph into a [indistinct].

-You smoke?

- I'm French. of course I smoke. Why? Not for years, but I still remember the taste.

- Maybe you can ask Robert to have his nanites whip up some... cigarettes.

- Cigarettes, huh? And what would you ask him to whip up?

- Hmm? - Um–hum.

-Uh... chocolat...

-Chocolate... um... I like that.

-I'm waiting for you!

It hurts so much!

- [indistinct]. - No!

No!

-[indistinct].

-Mom!

-Kathryn?

Get up now.

-I'm OK....Just dizzy.

-You've got a fever.

-I'm fine.

- Robert, can you come to the greenhouse? Kathryn's not well.

Calm down.

-Hello, Agent Robert.

-How did you know it was me?

-Your... uh...

scent... is distinctive.

-You hesitated.

You were going to say something else.

- I was gonna say your aura, but I thought that might be a bit too Whoohoo for you.

-You're right.

What does my aura look like?

-It's pink...

and sparkly...

like a unicorn's.

-That's what I thought.

-You're not wearing your gear.

Does that mean I'm not contagious?

I... I wanna see my daughter.

- What lesson have you brought back to earth?

What... What did you learn that you couldn’t learn on earth?

-I wanna see my daughter!

- I'd like world peace, but it isn't gonna happen today.

- You know what else isn't gonna happen today?

Me playing Guinea pig.

I wanna see my daughter.

- It's above my pay grade. - Then get out!

- I'm not the only one with questions, Dr.Voss.

And some of those people with questions

are not as nice as I am.

- Well, are they the ones who blew the Samsara?

-Who said it blew up?

What do you remember?

- Everything was normal aboard the craft,

everyone was excited. Elvis...

Elvis was taking selfies.

And then we saw this streak of light coming right at us.

I thought it was a UFO.

It's not what I remember, Agent Roberts.

It's what I'm learning now.

You've kept me pretty sequestered.

But I can hear the people talking.

I can hear the fear in their voices.

There weren't supposed to be survivors, were there?

You thought you could claim catastrophic vehicle failure and all would be fine?

But now the Chinese diplomats are demanding to know what really happened.

I wanna see my daughter.

-I'll make a call.

-You do that.

Right?

-Sir?

We've got a problem.

She remembers the missile.

-That's unfortunate.

We have the contingency covered.

[indistinct].

- Sir, are you sure...? - Oh, you have such a good heart.

Wyatt.

But you have to remember

that this, this woman is an abomination. The whole

mission... is an abomination and an act of global hubris.

An insult to the creator.

The mission is the whole dominion over this life.

This earth!

Nowhere is it written that we must spread our seed across this universe!

Activate Sham!

Or do it yourself!

-What the hell are you looking at?

-Good evening, Dr.Vos.

It looks like we're in for a treat tonight. Chicken teriyaki... and some rice.

-But I'm a vegetarian.

-Darn.

Well, looks like somebody screwed up the meal orders.

-What are you doing?!

- It would have been a lot easier have you cooperated.

-What's in that needle?

- It's a little something to help with those memories.

-I know about the missile.

This is about the missile. Who shot that missile?

-Wrong question, Kathryn.

- [indistinct]- - And why?

-You wouldn't understand why!

You're filled with your faith and technology and worshiping false gods!

Why can't you die?!

- Because I am supposed to do something!

It's not my time.

-Stop!

-You've been lying to me!

You're never gonna let me see my family again!

You're never gonna let me go!

- If you leave, you'll be putting lives into danger!

Your husband's. Your daughter's.

-They don't even know I'm alive, do they?

-No they don't.

Do you really want your little girl to know that

her mommy went to Mars and came back a monster?

Stay and we can answer your questions together.

-I don't think so!

-Yes?

-John Voss?

Wyatt Roberts.

-I've got it.

-I wanna see your warrant.

- Call your lawyer if you want, but we're taking the laptop with us.

-I want a receipt.

-Of course. Pope?

- Are you gonna tell me why you're taking my computer?

- Because we have records of transmissions your wife sent to your daughter

that mentioned something strange and wonderful going on.

Do you have any idea what that meant?

-Strange and wonderful?

You mean in dreams?

-Dreams?

What dreams?

Kat told Amelia she was having these dreams.

That she was swimming a river of stars and galaxies.

-Was that code?

-Code?

You gotta be kidding me. Do you think my wife was sending messages in code?

What's going on here?

How come no one will tell me what happened to Samsara?

There was that one special report and then nothing.

- Special report? I don't know what you are talking about.

- You're lying. And you have been lying all along.

-Lying?

-You, the government,

for all I know, the damn Illuminati.

Someone has a vested interest in keeping the truth from us.

- If you're looking into technology to save a child,

you're looking in the wrong direction.

- Why are Chinese suddenly rattling sabers?

Why have our diplomats been expelled from Beijing?

Why are pundits suddenly rethinking the whole space program?

- Because it's an obscene waste of money when

people right here on earth are quite hungry.

And children... are dying of cancer.

-Get out of my house!

-Don't try to leave.

Pope.

- Hey girl! - Hi.

- It's good to see you. - Good to see you. How are you doing?

- I'm doing fine. I see you went shopping. - Good.

- Yes. Check this out. - What'd you get?

Is this real leather? - I know, right?

Yeah, it's so good. And then... let me show you.

So, this material is super, super soft, right?

-Very soft.

-Hey!

God! What were you doing?

-Please...

Forgive me... Forgive... give... give...

- Oh, my god, are you OK? - I'm sorry, are you?

-Oh, I'm sorry, I'm fine.

I'm sorry.

-Hey, she just took your stuff!

-It's just stuff.

She obviously needed it more than I did.

Should we order?

- You know, you shouldn't be touching that with your bare hands.

-Afraid there's some martian virus?

I'll take my chances.

-Ooh... ah.

Ha!

Looks like something you could pick up on the Arizona desert.

Like a little bit like home.

Did you ever read William Blake in school?

Sure.

'Tyger Tyger, burning bright, '

In the forests of the night;

- I never like that one much, but Algeries of Innocence.

'To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower.

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.'

-That's beautiful.

- My wife translated all of William Blake's work.

-You didn't tell me you were married.

-My EX wife.

She was politically unreliable and I wanted to go to Mars.

And now here I am, quoting poetry by a nineteenth century English mystic.

- When I was a kid, my mother won a cruise to Australia for four.

It was one of those contests where you fill out a form

and then forget about it because no one ever wins.

- Somebody has to win. - Right?

My mom won. It was a trip for four, so it was me,

my parents, and my mother's best friend, Joy,

who was always up for an adventure.

And the first night we were at sea, I went out the deck to look at the stars.

Even then I knew I wanted to be an astronaut.

And I realized I didn't recognize any of the stars.

- I'd never been in the southern hemisphere before.

I knew the constellations were different, but to look

up at the sky and not recognize any of the stars was...

-Disorienting?

- More of a reminder that you can't see all sides

of the universe looking at it from one perspective.

And if we saw earth

from space,

that would change everything.

I wonder what Newton would allot on this.

You know, of... of us being here.

- Building a habitat on Mars is proof that humanity can live on another planet?

He would have been first in line to buy a ticket.

And he wouldn't have minded not coming back.

-You betcha. You betcha.

-You need help. Hun?

-Oh, no. I'm...

-Oh...

-Yes.

Yes I do.

Do you have any shoes?

-Oh...

Let me see.

Ah...

These look to be about your size.

-Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I can't pay you for anything.

-Did I ask you for money?

-Oh, I'm sorry. I...

I...

I'm just not good at being the one asking for help.

I'm sorry.

It's just... I just feel out of control.

-You think you're in.... control?

The more... tightly you hold on to things,

the more they... seep through your fingers.

It's like...

trying to stop...

time.

And you hold on.

You know...

My name is Evangeline.

Evangeline like the... poem.

-Thank you.

-You said that already.

We are all in this together.

And God knows...

none of us...

will make it out of here alive.

[indistinct]

[indistinct]-

- Again, thanks everyone for sharing tonight. It was good.

You... look familiar.

Have you been here before?

-No. It's my first time.

-Anything to share?

-Not tonight. Just not ready.

-Well,

take your time. - Thank you.

-Hang out.

Enjoy the cake and... coffee.

Uh, the coffee's really good. - Oh really?

-The cakes are kinda stale.

-You shouldn't put all that caffeine in.

Did you pick up that bad habit since you got back?

-[indistinct]

-How are you feeling?

-I feel... great.

- You're relieved? - Yeah, I thought I'd become a monster.

- Because you survived. - Now I can sense things.

I can do things.

I can do everything I wanna do except the thing I wanna do the most.

-Hmm..say you'll meet her again.

You'll see your baby again.

Maybe [indistinct],

[indistinct].

-Sounds like something Cece would say.

That I'll see Amelia again. I know it.

And I know that's the reason why I'm still here.

But why else?

-Why?

Why? is the most useless question on the universe.

- And yet it is the question we are born asking.

-And it's only answered when we die.

- So you know the answer? Now that you're dead?

-I know... that we shouldn't fear this.

As for the rest, your guess is as good as mine.

Remember what we saw when we flew away from earth?

Remember how even Robert was moved to poetry?

- Yeah, and Elvis said he was overdosed of ecstasy.

-Yeah, well, Elvis... uh...

- So if a spiritual experience can cause a cognitive shift,

why can't it cause a physical evolution as well?

-Someone just took your picture.

Go now.

[indistinct].

- Yeah, I'm just not sure now. - Yeah.

-Remains to be seen.

-Doc has been spotted heading west.

-West?

-She's headed to her house.

- We'll get there first. - Let's hit it!

Come on, let's go! What are you waiting on? Let's hit it!

-Oh, god...

I'm done.

What have I done?

-Lost?

Seems kind of silly... that you can find your way

home from Mars and then get lost in your hometown.

-Lost.

That's a good word to describe how I feel now.

Lost.

- You heard what they're saying about our mission.

That it was all... for nothing.

That it cost a fortune and everybody died.

-Except I didn't.

-Hmm. An inconvenient truth.

You have to tell people why we went to Mars.

People think it was to find humanity a new home.

-It wasn't?

-What do you think?

- Well, I think... I think the real purpose was to look back our the world and see it.

Really see it. You know?

The whole of all humanity. No borders, no barriers, just us.

That's what I think. - Exactly.

And you can share that message.

- I can't preach to anyone. I'm not Jesus or Muhammad or Buddha.

-Or Neo.

But who's talking about preaching?

We're talking about showing, not telling.

You already know what you can do.

You've already felt it.

We've come so far... as a species.

But somethings... we get lost.

And every so often someone special...

comes along... to help us get back on our path.

Someone who can see... the bigger picture.

That we're all... one... under the sun.

-That's kind of abstract.

I'm not sure people will think a Hallmark card sentiment was worth a

bazillion dollars. That it took us to go to Mars and get us back.

Well, me back.

-Hmm.

-But why me? I'm not special!

-Oh, come on. You don't believe that.

I know... how hard you worked to put yourself through school.

I know what you sacrificed to train for this mission. If you

weren't special, you would have quit a long... time ago.

But here's a question:

What would humanity pay...

for peace?

- Peace-of-mind, right? - No. Peace.

As in the absence of aggression.

The sensation of hostility. The end of conflict.

Would that be worth the bazillion dollars it

took us to take us to Mars and bring you back?

-You know it would.

- You can reveal that. All by yourself, in one hour.

-What?

You're not just dead; you're crazy!

One hour? - Katherine,

I'm a communications guy, right?

I know networks.

Right now,

humanity is one big mess of individuals acting

as if they're the only ones in the planet,

acting with no regard to how their actions affect other people.

They're disconnected.

You... can change that.

-Well...

if I can...

I can tap into this... this power...

I can save a [indistinct].

Right? Right?

I can't?

I can... I can save humanity but I can't save my little girl?

Who made that rule?

-You have to let go of your anger.

-Well I am... I have a right to my anger!

You know, I am angry because my little girl is dying

and I have what? 71 amino acids fizzing in my body and I can

[indistinct] 70 billion people and I can't save my little girl?

No!

No!

- Amelia has already made her choice.

Now you have to chose.

What's it gonna be?

-It's too hard.

- When has anything ever been too hard for you?

- I'm on my way to the hospital, to be with my

dying daughter over the death of her mother,

so I suggest you get the hell out of here.

- Mr.Voss, I understand how you must feel.

- Oh, you do? - Your family's in danger.

I need you to go back inside until we access the situation.

- No. - Sir, I must insist...

-Hey! I served in Iraq.

I survived the Battle of Fallujah. You think you're

gonna stop me from seeing my dying daughter?!

Not in my best day.

-Sir, what do you want us to do?

-Stay here and wait for the wife.

And when she comes back, take her into custody.

I'll be back at the hospital.

-OK.

-Agent Pope.

I believe you've been looking for me.

I'm Katherine Voss. - How do you know my name?

-I honestly don't know.

- So what? Is that one of your new abilities? You're psychic?

-I guess so.

Don't be scared.

I need a ride to the hospital to see my little girl.

-I know who hurt you.

-You don't wanna kill me, Eli.

You're not angry at me.

You're mad because your wife wants a divorce and you don't.

You think she's sleeping with your neighbor but she isn't.

And you love her so much you're afraid to tell her how angry

you are because then she might never speak with you again.

So you're angry at me.

But I forgive you.

Will you forgive me?

-Forgive you?

-We need to go now, Eli.

There's something I need to do, and I don't have much time.

Well...

Hei!!

-You know...

the reason why you can't remember what happened on

Mars is because what happened didn't happen on Mars.

It happened on the way there.

- I was wondering when you were going to show up.

-Time is a river.

- What did I see? What did I see that caused all this?

-You've already remembered.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- We were talking about what we were going to say

when we stepped out on Mars for the very first time.

And you quoted Yuri Gagarin.

"The earth is so beautiful."

-Yeah...

The planet is so beautiful.

We saw the earth.

Out the [indistinct] window.

It is so beautiful.

So blue.

So peaceful.

-And you thought...

-And I thought.

"We are all one on this small, blue planet."

"There are no boundaries, there are no nations,"

"it's just us."

"under the sun."

- I am no astro physicist like some people I know.

But I once heard someone say

that the unifying principle in all the

universe, the glue that put it all together,

is love.

- "Love makes the world go 'round"?

-Time is running out, Kathryn.

A lunatic named [indistinct] has claimed

responsibility for the explosion on the Sumsara,

And has admitted killing the Chinese president three years ago.

-Why?

-He left the [indistinct].

I did my thesis on the [indistinct] never really matters

why they do things.

-Left?

- Started a [indistinct] and then disappeared to avoid getting [indistinct].

The PRC has news, Katherine.

-Go away.

You're a figment of my imagination.

Go.

- Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowledge.

-I know.

I used to have a t-shirt with that quote printed on it.

-A world without war...

You could make it happen.

[indistinct]

[indistinct]

-I am a figment of my own imagination.

A ghost... walking aimlessly among the living.

How can I save the world if I can't even save my daughter?

- Our greatest fear is not that we are powerless, but that we are powerful.

[indistinct]

- You sound like a fortune cookie. - You're deflecting!

You know what you have to do. You know why

[indistinct] this task and the power to complete it!

-Power... power has only led me to pain!

This universe has made a mistake. - There are no mistakes1.

Only reminders.

It's easy to give up, to fall into despair.

It is only when we enjoy do we find it in ourselves to achieve greatness.

-But I'm all alone.

I have no one left.

-You are not... alone.

-John. Oh my god!

John?

- You guys don't have that much time. Roberts will be back.

-John...

Oh my god...

I thought I'd never see you again. - They told me you were dead.

- Well, they told me that it wasn't safe to be

with you, that I'd contaminate you or infect you.

-We saw Samsara blow up.

We saw it on TV, and... and NASA said there were no survivors.

Then they pulled every scrap of footage off the air, they said

that it... it never happened, that it... it

was a mistake, that I must have imagined it.

-I'm so sorry.

- I didn't want to believe it. But we saw it blow up! We saw it!

-John, there's something I had to do.

That's the reason I survived this accident.

-If you're here,

there has to be a reason.

I know you're part of something bigger than my own understanding.

I missed you. - I missed you, too.

[indistinct] you were gone,

but if you haven't gone,

it wouldn't be the woman that... I fell in love with.

The woman I love.

-John...

I'm not that strong.

I'm not that strong, you know.

When Amelia got sick, I felt like my whole world was falling apart.

I felt so selfish for leaving, but I just couldn't sit her and watch her die.

So I ran,

I ran all the way to Mars.

I cannot forgive myself for that.

-But I forgive you, Katherine.

Amelia forgives you.

You need to forgive yourself.

Go. Say goodbye to Amelia.

Go do what you have to do.

-Why did you have to survive?

If you just died, everything would have been fine.

But no.

You had to give people a miracle, so they

could keep putting their faith in technology.

We don't have to save ourselves! Science will save us!

We don't have to... clean up our oceans! Because

we could just move on to another planet.

You survived,

and that... was a miracle.

Well, I don't believe in miracles.

Look at me when I'm talking to you!

-I'm sorry.

We were having a moment there.

-Is it really you?

-Yes, beautiful.

It's me.

-You came home from Mars!

-I did. I promised, didn't I?

-I had a dream.

You took me to a river of stars.

We dived and I swam.

And there was gasses floating past us like rainbow fish.

And we caught them.

And petted them.

And then we threw them back.

And then we danced in the middle... of a cloud of stars.

It was so beautiful.

-You're so beautiful.

-Are you crying?

Why are you crying?

- Well, sometimes you see something so precious

you just want to hold on to it as long as you can.

-Is she in there?

-Yes. Dr.Voss is inside.

- She what? Just showed up here and waltzed in?

- She wanted to speak to her daughter.

-I found John Voss in a room.

You have something to do with that?

-There's a reason... she's alive, sir.

-She got to you.

- What if she's not crazy? What if we're the crazy ones? What if...

what if what we're doing... is wrong?

-You're in my way.

-I don't want to hurt you... sir.

-Shame. I can't say the same about you.

-Don't be sad...

-I wish...

-What, baby? What do you wish?

- I heard the nurses talking. - Yeah?

- They're scared there's gonna be a war,

because the Chinese astronaut burned up.

So...

I wish there not be a war.

I wish that tomorrow...

everyone would wake up and be happy.

And not be mad anymore. - Yeah?

And what about getting well? Wouldn't you wish for that?

-No.

I think you only get one wish. - Yeah?

And you'll give up your wish for everybody else?

- I'd give my life for them. - Yeah?

Is that what you're doing?

Wyatt, come here.

-It's beautiful!

-Help me show it to everyone.

-How?

-Just hold on.

It won't hurt.

We are... all one
