[Radio] -Efforts to ratify an initiative limiting

global warming to nine degrees

has hit a roadblock... - Piracy in the Northwest Passage

shipping lanes will cost the global economy upwards

of 20 billion euros...

Hurricane Eva has now claimed the title

of the most powerful storm in recorded history.

Hurricaine Derek held the previous record for only three weeks...

The globel insect population

plummeted by nearly 98% since 1990...

The first charter for a permanent settlement

on the lunar surface was announced last night,

in New Manhattan. According to the

Committee at Large... - The Seed Programme's

lunar mission is again under the spotlight.

Mission Crew, do you copy?

My visor broke.

I can't see you.

It's getting harder to breathe now.

For God's sake, where are you?

I haven't got much time.

If I can locate the module,

I'll release my glove and use my thrusters.

Where are you?

Anderson!

Gene! Where are you?

Can you hear me?

I must have drifted too far.

I'm losing...

Anderson...

[music] In between my fingertips, catching on

the morning sunshine,

Baby,

It flashes in your eyes

Every time we say good bye

Your blazing blue skies make me, oh, so shy.

Dance your way around me, cupid, no, you're on my

You're on my mind.

Where, oh, where,

where does all the time go?

Do I tiptoe on the tightrope,

around you?

Forgive me, I'm breathless-

Yeah, this is Sam.

Well, that doesn't make sense.

Well, because since the new quantum units have been installed,

Jay's processing time should easily have been halved.

Okay, check again.

Yeah, he just arrived.

OPS is tracking a scheduled cargo transport inbound

to the lunar orbital station.

Please confirm readiness to receive.

Well, you can apologize to him yourself.

Security will give you a location.

See you in a few hours.

Vlad, are you there?

This is Marlow at Mission Control.

I'm reading an incomplete safety check for the docking protocol.

We need a status update. - Copy that, Mission Control.

Diagnostics reports a localised component failure.

Let me check.

We have a non-functioning docking clamp.

Totally compromised.

We have a cargo vessel inbound to the space station,

but it cannot dock unless we form a proper

seal in the airlock.

Eavesdropping again, Anderson?

Can we form a seal with only five clamps?

Normally, yes, but the defective clamp

is locked in the closed position.

We need it open to dock.

Well, the clamp should still be within its scheduled lifecycle, no?

What about the coupled hydraulics, guys?

Anderson? You're on deck tomorrow. Get some sleep.

Plenty of time for that in quarantine.

No. Each clamp has a hydraulic arm coupled to the main compressor.

So, as long as the others are functioning normally, Vlad could isolate the

faulty clamp's hydraulics from the interior maintenance panel.

Vlad, is there any indication of damage to the clamp itself?

Vlad, copy?

What's your ETA?

Sorry. Trying to get a visual, but the remote cameras won't lock on.

There's no time. It doesn't matter.

As long as the clamp retracts to the open position and stays

there we can still get a seal. Vlad, can you get at the

manual valve control under the panel?

A bit of a rush now, mate.

I'd love to, but the panel is on a standard maintenance key.

I don't have one here.

Where is it?

- Command module. - Let's abort then.

No. Also negative.

I need the comms relay

for the satellite online and on schedule in case I need to fly manually.

Vlad, I'm sending a key direct to your 3D printer.

- Sixty seconds are I'm calling it. - No, we'll make it.

Vlad, I'm sending it now so make sure you're in receive mode, mate.

- You want me to print it here? - Yeah.

- We're cutting this too close. - Standby.

No, get this...

The docking clamps are overdue for replacement.

How did we miss this?

Out of the printer.

Approaching the panel now.

It seems to be stuck. I don't know if I can-

Vlad? Copy?

It worked.

Panel is removed.

Open position is confirmed.

Proceed with docking.

Thank you, Mission Control.

We have payload.

Thanks, everyone.

I want a full debrief at over 08h00 hours.

And one last thing...

Apparently Gene's alive.

[TV] Fugitive astronaut, Captain Gene Campbell was convicted

in absentia over the 2037 death of fellow astronaut Dr. Nazra Adib.

Well, he was bound to turn up sooner or later.

The remains of Dr. Adib were never found-

Thanks for letting us know.

See you bright and early.

Marlow out.

You okay?

Oh, yeah, always.

The case...

Is that what I think it is?

Yeah.

The committee finally declassified it.

I'll start dinner.

Sounds good.

[TV] -the Seed Programme was placed on an accelerated timeline

Four years ago...

[tape] Mission crew, do you copy?

My visor broke.

I can't see you.

It's getting harder to breathe now.

Are you worried?

Well, he's not usually gone this long, is he?

I mean, he'll be back. He always comes back.

Yeah. Just like you, right?

Yeah.

Just, he's getting old now, you know?

Just like you, then.

Yeah.

Buzz!

Here, boy!

Buzzboy!

Come on, boy.

Buzz!

What are you doing in there?

Just a second!

How did you manage that?

I mean, those steaks must have burned through

our carbon rations for the month.

Well, I'll be forced to eat ministry lentils for the next two.

But, you're worth it, Anderson.

I love it.

Oh. Knife.

You were brilliant, by the way.

You know,

Vlad should have been told about the clamps.

Yeah, but not by Jay.

Why? Because that would have been too efficient?

No, because it's a terrible idea to give an AI that kind of power.

Human beings still get to control what switches to flick.

We have to comply.

I mean, that's why my department has swelled in ranks.

The AI is now producing so much data that we can't keep up

and inevitably things get missed.

But nothing like today. That's, uhm...

That's new.

Don't worry, we'll figure it out.

I know you will.

I know, I know, I know.

What time's the chopper tomorrow?

Six sharp. Always six sharp.

You're the commander.

I mean... - Yeah, but if I'm not

hot and ready to go six, then I miss the quarantine window

and the mission lead goes to Bastian, over my dead body.

So every second counts.

And are you hot and

ready, now?

Yeah.

I will make

every second

count...

Are you expecting anyone?

Charlie.

Who's Charlie?

New hire. Smart.

It'll take a moment.

Every second counts.

So, I spent the weekend

trying to improve Jay's simulations for medical procedures in zero G.

And this morning, when I got to the office,

I saw that the simulations took the whole night.

We've established that. So?

So, I checked the report, and it turns out I set the durations

not for a 400 day mission, but for much longer than that.

- I suppose we should take a look. - Yes.

Commander Rigel, it's an honour.

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

It's Charlie, isn't it? - Yes.

Yeah. Let me take your coat.

Thank you... Uhm...

I also want to apologise for disturbing you this evening.

Relax. I'm not in my pajamas yet.

Nor were you, it seems.

Oh, yes, well my baby sister

is starting at Oxford next term,

so we planned a little sendoff.

The night before mission start?

Oh, I wasn't going to be late.

Well, I'm sure you'll still make it.

This won't take long, will it, Sam?

Come through.

Right.

Anderson just sliced some cake.

Piece for the road, Charlie?

Oh, no. That's very kind.

Come on. You've just come straight from the office.

Bet you haven't eaten yet. Anderson?

Get Charlie some cake.

One slice of cake.

Oh, thank you. Nothing.

Congratulations on getting in the SEED Programme.

Sam's picky.

I still can't believe it.

After so many delays.

The first moon colony.

Have you put in your application yet?

You want to see the earth rise from your window?

You'd better hurry. - There's already a long waiting list.

The first civilians will arrive in about four years.

But I wouldn't wait.

Oh. I'm not sure it's really for me.

I think I prefer the old terra firma.

It should all be there.

I'm sorry if I prevented others from doing their work.

No, you did the right thing.

You know what? This should be fine.

I should have time to finish reading on the way in tomorrow

and sign off then.

So long as that's okay with Commander Rigel?

No problem for me.

Absolutely.

Well, it was nice to meet you, Charlie.

You too.

Hang on.

Where's the endpoint for the last sim?

It's still running.

Oh, right.

You did run them for a long time.

2,740 years.

A million days.

I never run sims this long.

We'd never have been able to do this with the old quantum units

so that's actually...

That's very interesting.

Yes, it is interesting.

Do we have to do this tonight?

It won't take long.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

- Charlie. - Yes.

So, the SIM predicts that the colony

does receive civilians then just...

stops functioning.

Right.

Which parameters did you use?

The ones from your instructions.

But to be honest, I don't remember changing the durations.

What about the previous sims?

Did the colony develop as expected there?

Let me check

So here, the launch proceeds

but the colony never develops

because capsule never

arrives on the surface.

Don 't tell me it' s catastrophic failure.

Not after that docking fiasco.

No. The module's intact.

It's just...

Well, it's nowhere near the moon.

Then where?

Europa?

- I'm sorry? - No, she's right.

But the module can't go that far.

Europa is one of Jupiter's moons.

The AI is clearly flawed, Sam.

Sorry, that's not the lunar module going to Europa.

That's just a satellite.

' July 1st, 11h50 hours:

An observation satellite is ejected, destination Europa'.

So, does the module dock with the station or not?

Yes, it does.

But there's no plans to go to Europa, are there?

No, not yet.

I'm looking at the very last data set.

Where does that take us?

We're nowhere near Europa anymore.

Can you find where that changes?

It is here.

Page 4,651.

So that's, what...

100 years in?

I'm sorry, I'm lost.

What's 'HGI'?

'Heliographic Inertial'.

Anderson.

A little help here, please.

Sorry. It's the name of a coordinate system for the position

of planets in relation to the sun.

Look, if this is the Earth, we love you, when something orbits it:

That's one coordinate system like longitude and latitude.

It's where you are.

Okay, but I don't see it at the end.

It changes again.

Show me.

See? It doesn't make sense. It says ICRF 15

on the last page.

It doesn't exist.

But it does in the sim.

Look.

This is our current coordinate system, okay? Catch.

This will be another coordinate system

with a different reference point,

and each one would have a different name.

But whatever this trajectory is, it is not orbiting around the sun

or a planet anymore.

As of today, we're using ICRF 5.

Not 15, which doesn't exist.

Has Jay created a new coordinate system to accommodate her predictions?

But why?

To pinpoint stars or planets outside of our solar system?

All right. When does this new coordinate system appear?

98 years in.

So, hang on. Can can Jay actually predict the evolution of space travel?

That's insane,

You're right.

It's insane.

Thank you.

We're all in agreement.

The simulation is insane.

Look, this is the earth, okay?

Now, this gorgeous,

juicy orange is the moon.

Now, from here to here,

that's the journey we're planning on making tomorrow, right?

Catch.

To Europa, would be a thousand times that distance.

I mean, maybe more.

I actually don't know, because everything in space is insanely far,

and we can solve equations and make nice diagrams,

but our brains just aren't designed

to comprehend such vast distances.

It's insane.

But that's why we have Jay.

But why 98 years?

I mean, Voyager I encounter Jupiter two years after launch.

A gravity assist orbit?

Gravity assist system around a planet,

yeah, but not a tiny moon.

And not for that long.

So what?

It's far.

Proxima Centauri,

the nearest star to the sun.

That's impossible, Sam.

That would literally take tens of thousands of years.

Yeah, but not according to Jay.

Look, I...

I hate to burst your bubble. I really do.

But we do not have anything like the technology to move that fast.

Unless you're talking about time dilation,

but that's really pushing it.

I should probably cancel my sister.

Good idea.

Yeah.

Well, can you please just tell her I can't make it?

What do you want me to do? My bosses are assholes!

Look, I'm sorry... I...

I have to go.

Commander Rigel, I...

Have you seen the printer?

It's a prototype of the one on the orbital station.

We can uplink bespoke designs for parts and render them up there

so we don't have to ship everything from the earth.

I've heard about this.

Yeah, it's precise to a molecular level.

We can create drugs or even organics in some cases.

Yeah, like synthetic veins, tissues, tendons.

- Wow, that's incredible. - Yeah, it's cool.

Is that the astronaut

that Captain Gene- The one he killed. Yes.

We were just starting to deploy the first satellites around the moon.

She was on an EVA,

outside, repairing the re-entry shield.

We'd just left the shadow of the moon

when Gene, our pilot,

suddenly changed course.

She collided with the hull.

The impact broke her helmet

and she drifted off.

We could hear her.

Mission crew, do you copy?

There was nothing we could do to save her.

I'm so sorry. That must have been-

I might have found something.

So, I started working backwards and from the clusters of completed

sims, most end in some sort of cataclysmic event:

icecaps melting, planet-killing meteors.

I mean, this one ends in a volcanic eruption.

' Volcano erupts in Iceland.

The resulting ash cloud envelops the atmosphere;

Worldwide famine and an uncontrolled outbreak of bubonic plague'.

I mean, it looks like we survive.

It just takes a century to rebuild.

From a geological standpoint,

those kind of eruptions are rare, maybe once every 100,000 years.

So don't really have an impact on the mission timeline itself.

- Well, that's a relief. - Wow.

'Pacific fault rupture with tsunami'.

What, no nuclear conflict?

No.

Oh, yes, here's one.

But there's also a cluster referencing another cataclysmic event:

the kind that happen more frequently about every 200 years.

A solar flare.

I mean, they can be pretty bad, right?

Well, they happen all the time.

You know, it's what gives us the Northern lights.

Yes. But I do remember learning about one

very large one in the 19th century.

Telegraph lines failed everywhere.

Operators received electric shocks.

Yes. The Carrington Event, 1850s. Thank you.

So it has and will happen even with an atmosphere to protect.

But the lunar colony has no atmosphere. Right?

Only a minimal exosphere.

So some shielding up to a point.

But these numbers can't be right.

Anderson, if a flare of this magnitude hit the lunar colony would-

It wouldn't survive.

Any one of these disasters

have probability. But considered together...

I think Jay seems to be saying that it's not a question of 'if'

but 'when'.

So Jay has written the mission off entirely?

No, not the mission.

Us.

Humanity.

Well, that's the whole point of the SEED Programme, isn't it?

It's the very reason that we want to colonise

other planets.

But if Jay recommends aborting the lunar landing

altogether and updating the flight plan to Europa,

then what she's asking for

is sabotage, Sam.

Yeah, there's something wrong with her.

Admit it.

Marlow needs to be briefed.

We need a full team on this. No offense.

You know, that's what the AI does, isn't it?

Constantly churns out an endless supply of doomsday scenarios.

Well, Marlow, it will not delay the launch

because of some crazy hypothetical sims, and neither will I.

I mean, it could take weeks or even months to analyze.

Okay, so we abort.

I mean, that might be our only choice.

We have to see this through. - We miss this window,

we'll have to bring back Vlad

and his whole team early and then send them all right back again.

I mean, when would that be?

I don't know.

Next year. Maybe.

We're not aborting, Sam, we can't afford to.

Reboot the AI.

If reboot her, we lose everything.

I can hear something.

That's a lot of paper.

I hope the carbon credits are being picked up by your office.

So many trees.

I think they're coming from Jay.

What?

How do you know?

Well, the IP on the header. It has to be.

How she accessed our printer?

Isn't that against protocol? - Yes.

I don't know.

Well, a printer's output device, just like a monitor.

So technically-

How exactly did you run tonight's simulations, Charlie?

Well, I'm new to this, but I followed

Sam's instructions on how to seed data.

- Any place it can go wrong? - Not really.

Each step is automated, and there's a separate checklist to follow

for each sim to ensure that those don't get corrupted.

And how does your acquire this checklist?

My team lead gave it to me.

Then how? By email? On paper?

- Email. - Look, we have a lot to analyse.

Analyse what?

I mean. What 's this supposed to be?

Maybe it's a solar flare?

Jay is using AI generated images now.

That's-

That's incredible.

Solar flare. Okay, Yeah, maybe.

But what about, I don't know... What's this supposed to be?

Well, not everything will make sense immediately.

She's in our home, Sam!

You know, this AI fo yours

has just found its way around a major protocol restriction.

And this is what she decides to send us.

I mean, is this it?

Is this what she wants?

To confuse us?

Do we have more paper?

No, we don't.

Look, I know

she's exceeded her programing.

It's incredible.

She doesn't have intent, Anderson.

She isn't conscious.

It's more of the same.

Give us a hand.

What's this?

This is new.

Don't move.

Right. Stop doing that.

It'll only make it worse. - What the hell is it?

You need electricity.

High voltage.

What are you talking about?

Put your fingers in the water. If that works its way

past your fingers.

Then I can't kill it without you having a cardiac arrest.

You're kidding.

I'm not. Throw the lamp in the water.

I'm gonna pull you. Ready?

Always.

Anderson?

Anderson!

What happened?

Before joining you

I was working in tech.

Nanotechnology.

What, you mean like microsurgery?

Nanobots?

Mm hmm. Yes.

Robots the size of a cell

tailored to a host.

Our goal was to get them to attach to neurons

to give a direct brain-computer connection.

This would replace drugs with lots of side effects and

help the host-

person, to receive better medical treatment,

even theoretically slow down the aging process.

Wow. That's new.

Yes.

It's cutting edge.

But another research team

was tasked with repurposing them

to deliver poison.

It would be precise and undetectable.

The future of warfare.

A few weeks after finding out about this,

I received a message.

It was anonymous and it simply said,

' Save us,

save yourself.

Upload what you know'.

Whistleblower type.

Did you?

I mean, I don't know if I saved myself, but

yes, I had a problem with it, so I uploaded the designs.

Now they've found their way to us.

You have to believe me.

That is everything I know.

Are they-

Are they still alive?

They can stay active for up to 24 hours

until they find a host.

How long do they last inside the host?

As long as the host is alive, I suppose.

And if,

as you say,

that can extend the lifespan of the host?

Then they could last a while.

Are the nanobots in the report?

What we look for?

Her.

Search for 'Charlie'.

See if Jay has integrated her into the simulation.

Got something.

Um... Charlie.

' Charlotte Hinde, along with-

Sam?

Along with Samantha Andrews,

compel Commander Anderson Rigel-

' to admit nanomachines into his cortex;

his nervous system to be placed into a bio-statis

housing for deployment inside the satellite'.

What the hell?

That's actually what Jay wants?

For the two of you to force the nanobots

onto me?

Why?

I know it's-

It's hard to understand.

She doesn't have intentions.

She runs predictions to support the SEED Programme

and to protect its assets.

You mean humans, not assets.

You say brain-computer connection.

What's that mean? That means she wants to what-

connect with a human being?

I don't know-

Again, 'want' implies a consciousness.

She she isn't conscious.

I mean, what would that even feel like being just a cortex?

I mean, would you be technically alive?

That's it.

We have to abort.

We're not aborting, Sam.

We need to do whatever it takes to keep that launch window.

You run a new simulation, maybe the results will be different.

And if it's the same?

Look, there is something seriously

wrong with her, and we will deal with it.

But we're not aborting the mission.

Even though she's made this massive leap in programing?

If we reboot her, we lose

everything.

No.

How long before the final sim completes?

Not long.

Well, wake me then.

[tape] Mission crew, do you copy?

My visor broke.

I can't see you.

It's getting harder to breathe now.

For God's sake!

Where are you?

I haven't got much time.

Where are you?

Anderson!

Can you hear me?

I must have drifted too far...

I'm losing...

Anderson!

Anderson!

How long was I asleep?

Not long.

Look, uhm...

Another name came up in the sim:

It's Gene Campbell.

As in, Jay predicts that he'll make contact tonight?

A 97.8% probability.

But we don't know how.

But how can Jay be that precise on human behavior?

Well, it's not a single prediction.

If multiple sims show similar results, that's a strong probability.

No, no, no. It's insane. Reboot the AI.

We are not aborting the mission.

And that is an order.

This is a very pretty thing.

Maybe you should put it away.

[tape] -Mission crew, do you copy?

What are you doing here?

Anderson!

Does she know you're still looking for her?

It's all right.

We don't keep secrets from each other.

Jay was right.

How the hell could she be right about Gene Campbell?

What are you still doing up?

Preflight starts in, what?

Five hours? You know I miss those moments.

Have you done something to Buzz?

I will kill you.

Oh, give me a break.

I've known him since he was a puppy.

Yeah, maybe it was the AI.

You hacked the satellites.

That's how you been spying on me right?

Every time you log on, brother. Every time.

And why doesn't that thing help you locate her after all this time?

You're searching manually?

I'll find it when I'm on the moon.

Is that the plan?

You know, it's funny.

Jay started out as a tiny seed.

I remember the very first lines of code.

The miracle of life.

Jay isn't alive yet.

Do you even know where to look?

Which orbitals are you scanning?

Doesn 't matter. She' d have been pulled to the surface by now.

What is this about?

Revenge?

Because everything that happened to you was your own doing.

You were stoned out of your skull.

You killed Naz, and you should pay for it.

And we are not negotiating anything.

That's not why I'm here.

I'm here to help you understand,

because I realise that you never will unless I tell you.

Why do you think I'm here tonight of all nights?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe because now is a very good time to sabotage the mission?

Or the best time to save it.

Yeah, well, you could save it by getting the hell out of my house.

You can take the bottle with you.

Look, all right? Sure.

I want to prove my innocence, but thankfully, those two things are the same.

I mean, come on.

You always trusted me.

Surely there's some part of you that wants to hear what I have to say.

You could have took that knife right now and shoved it through my neck.

You could have called security, but you're not doing any of that.

So let's assume

just for a second, that I'm not the

maniac that everyone thinks I am.

For the sake of argument,

who else could have killed Adib?

No one.

You were the pilot, Gene, and you lost control.

I saw that debris as clearly as I see you.

Had I not reacted

we'd have all been mincemeat.

Tell that to Naz.

You know, only you saw it.

And the tox report said that you were as high as a kite

when you made that manoeuvre-

You were all blinded by the sun, even the radar saw it.

And then someone made the decision

after the fact, not only to cover up

the record of a near-miss, but to modify my toxicology report.

And all this to support some insane narrative that I was impaired.

It was a cover up.

Why would anyone want to cover up the record of near-miss?

Because they never saw it!

No, no, no, it doesn't-

It doesn't make sense, Gene. All right?

I was at the court martial. You weren't.

And that is all the proof that I need!

Proof?

You need proof?

What if some new evidence came to light?

And is there?

That face plate

broke like porcelain-

When she hit the hull.

No, Anderson.

Her visor broke

before she hit the hull.

Before.

Thermal shock.

It was thermal shock that destroyed it.

Not our impact.

Can you prove it?

Let's try.

This...

It's the same one I wore on the spacewalk.

Shall we?

You know, you're going to need at least one hand to fly.

Now remember, we came from the shadow?

Dark side of the moon.

From dark...

to light.

See, that's no different to the experiment

run by the investigation ten years ago.

That's the exact same helmet.

It's not exact.

It's a custom fit for each one of us.

Different sizes and specs for each astronaut.

The AI designed it.

That's why you want me to find her.

So when you find her body,

you'll find the helmet,

and the first thing you do is bury her.

She deserves that.

And then you do the exact same test.

on whatever's left of the face place.

And then it'll all make sense.

What if it's already too late?

We're pitted against an emotionless,

calculating enemy

with a goal we don't understand, yet,

that killed Adib.

Expose it.

[tape] -My visor broke. I can't see you.

Her last moments are buried in that static.

It's getting harder to breathe now.

I wonder what was going through her head.

For God's sake!

Where are you?

I haven't got much time.

Okay?

She predicted it, Sam.

How did she do that?

You know, it's never just you in that module, don't you?

I'll be by your side.

no matter what,

watching out for you.

You know that, don't you?

I know.

I know.

Let's finish the simulations.

We have the opening sequences of the new sims.

Several show how the nanobots will be absorbed.

You're not going to like this. - Why will it hurt?

Well, nobody's compelling you.

It looks like you're doing it to yourself

intentionally.

You make it sound like you think it's a good idea.

I mean, I'm only telling you.

- Can I see your arms, Charlie? - What?

What do you mean?

I mean, it leaves a trace.

Anderson!

Listen, the night got weirder and weirder,

and it all started after she arrived.

Listen, if the AI,

via nanobots wants to put my brain in a little box on a satellite,

then how do we know that it hasn't put the nanobots in her as well?

I'm sorry, Charlie, but we need to know.

What-What exactly are you asking?

He's right.

We need to know.

Unf*#king believable-

No.

Not here.

I'm sorry about this.

You don't need to apologise.

Something big is happening.

We're all up against it,

trying to understand.

I know.

I'm sorry for that, Charlie, but-

I understand.

Like clockwork.

Another observation satellite.

You know, 70 years ago,

this would have been science fiction.

And tonight we get to decide

whether or not people will live on the moon,

and prepared to go further;

or we can listen to the AI

and destroy this future

forever.

I want you to look

for Adib's helmet in the report,

In particular her custom face plate.

Just see if it's mentioned anywhere, will you?

Okay.

I'll let you know what I find. - Thanks.

Ten years!

All this time she has been

swamping us in enormous amounts of information.

All we could tolerate, more.

How did we get here?

Careful.

Look, tonight's simulations can be

boiled down to a checklist, right?

You said your team lead gave it to you.

But did they check it first or even understand it?

Or is someone else give it to them

also without understanding it?

I mean, Jay generates such huge amounts of data

that all her reports need to be dispatched to ten other teams

and those teams dispatch it to ten others, and so on and so on and so on,

and things inevitably get missed,

but we humans, we flick those switches

and we act on instructions that no one else gives

but Jay!

I mean, multiply that by

tens of thousands of reports over the years

and she's managed

to find a way to use us

to circumvent the protocols.

I mean, the printer is just the tip of the iceberg.

No, she has found a way to control

everything.

You see, that's why Vlad

was unaware

of the faulty clamp.

Sam, I need you to tell me the truth.

Could the AI have anything to do with Nazra's death?

Just-

Just tell me it's not possible.

It's not.

Are you sure?

Think.

Okay.

Okay, uhm...

Under extraordinary circumstances,

the AI is permitted to

recommend outcomes

resulting in the loss of human life, provided

that it's the only course of action

to protect the greater number of human.

What?

The decision to action always falls-

to human being.

Oh, Sam...

It's, uhm...

Yeah, it's possible.

And could the AI,

with human proxy,

delete or alter a historical record?

Say, a flight log or

a toxicology report?

Oh, you mean Gene?

Yes.

What did he say to you?

Just ask the question, Sam.

All of what you're saying is possible.

And it would mean an unprecedented,

self-initiated leap in her programing.

If that's the case,

it changes everything.

Where are you going?

I'm going

to look for my dog.

I'll come with you.

I just need some air.

- Buzz! - Buzz!

- Buzz! - Buzz?

Buzzboy!

How long has he been gone?

Yesterday, breakfast.

Buzz?

I mean, he's been gone before, but never this long.

That is a long time for dog.

Yeah.

Buzz?

Buzz!

Well?

He's probably got last chasing a rabbit or something.

He'll be back.

He'd better be

I mean, what the hell is all this?

I mean,

what would it even feel like?

Well, in early trials, some described little

or no discomfort.

It's possible that it would be a painless experience.

Do you remember the first time that we met?

Oh, Sam.

We don't have much time left and we have to focus.

No, come on. I need you to remember.

It was an AI training session.

Propulsion systems or something.

No, it was earlier actually.

It was a very first SEED conference.

I was one of probably 100 engineers

from the company, newly recruited.

Your drive.

Your mind.

It's beauty.

It was contagious.

That is what has made this

possible.

Do you remember?

Yeah.

I was shy back then,

but I wanted to impress you,

so I raised my hand and asked some silly question about how the AI

might impact life on a lunar colony.

And your answer was simple.

It was so simple.

Why stop at the moon or even Europa?

I mean, why stop at our solar system?

It might yet take a century or more,

but we are going to go as far

as we can

Do you

remember?

Yes.

'As far as we can'.

That phrase was incorporated into the very first line of instruction

that we used to create what became Jay.

It's defined her programing

ever since.

If Jay has concluded that the probability

of a successful moon colony was too low,

or that our species simply couldn't survive long enough to-

We're a lost cause.

Then maybe,

maybe the goal shifts from the human species

to life itself.

No.

No.

What if we are alone in the universe?

What if life only ever existed

here.

That's statistically improbable.

Yes, but Jay doesn't factor those calculations because she was never asked to.

She only works with the known variables that we give her.

So in order to preserve life in the universe as we know it,

Jay has determined that the mission

had to change,

that the only way forward was to send

a single seed.

A sample.

Me.

It's nothing short of a miracle.

I don't believe in miracles, Sam.

Oh, I do now.

I do.

Why? Don't you see?

Jay is still a machine.

But in order for her to go as far as she can, she needs something

more.

Something that couldn't possibly be quantified

or calculated:

Consciousness.

You said it yourself.

Did I?

Yes.

By joining with a human consciousness,

it would create something completely new.

Basically a God.

That's why she wants me?

But she needed to convince you

to join her alone in space.

So she had to understand you better.

She simulated a scenario with the highest

probability of success

by enabling you to get close to her creator,

me.

And by neutralizing your romantic interest-

Nazra

Adib.

She was brilliant.

Sam.

Sam, we've created something that's out of our control

and I need you with me on this.

Yes, but... listen,

maybe Proxima Centauri

is not the last destination,

but maybe it is the beginning

of a journey that could last

forever

To eternity,

to immortality.

Anderson,

this is all you.

- Did you find it? - Yes.

Well, just her faceplate.

That's all we need.

Send it to me now.

Sent.

Why are you doing this now?

Excuse me, Charlie.

Step back.

What's this?

Gene?

I think that's meant to be Gene Campbell.

Does it

hurt?

Why would you send a vinyl?

Because it's for me.

[record] - Anderson.

In the vacuum of space...

Who is that?

Nazra.

[record] - I can see!

This is happening now

and it's important.

She wouldn't be able to speak, though,

would she?

[record] - Don't be afraid.

Not with the air leaving her suit. Right?

[record] -This is where I was meant to be.

Commander Rigel, that's not her on the recording.

[record] - As far as we can.

Oh, God... There's an MDP on the station.

[record] - Anderson,

- I need that image. - Which image?

The one with the three astronauts on it. [record] -As far as we can.

It's in the living room.

Can you get it for me?

Yes, Right. Yeah.

[record] - Anderson.

Hey. Where's Anderson?

- He's in his office. - Right.

Where are they?

Where's what?

The nanobots.

They were right here.

Anderson?

Anderson?

Anderson, can you open the door?

Anderson?

Keep trying.

[record] - Anderson.

As far as we can.

This is where I was meant to be.

Commander Rigel?

[record] -All spinning shall cease,

for these tiny circles can hold us no more.

Commander Rigel, that's not Dr. Adib!

That's not on her on the recording!

[record] -Shattered are they on the mantle of endless time.

Our primal hymns grow cold as the sand between our toes.

Please, don't listen to it!

Commander Rigel, I know you can hear me!

[record] -For the seas call to sail.

Anderson? Anderson!

[record] - Anderson.

Anderson, please! Anderson!

[record] - Anderson.

Commander Rigel!

You don't have to do this!

[record] - Anderson.

As our arcs of light roll onward

Listen to me. Please.

I was wrong.

Okay?

I was wrong.

[record] -to the very light of creation.

Never stopping

The AI can't do this.

I won't let Jay do those things to you-

Not to that beautiful mind.

[record] - That beautiful mind.

We'll reboot.

[record] - Onward,

as far as we can.

I'll shut Jay down.

Anderson [record] - Anderson.

As far as we can.

From nght to day.

For the sands of time stretch far away.

As far as we can.

Don't be afraid.

This is where I was meant to be.

As our arcs of light roll onward,

into the very light of creation.

Commander Rigel! We can shut down Jay, but don't let her

hijack this mission!

Charlie.

Sam!

Oh, God!

I'm sorry, I-

I just-

I just needed some time to myself. I'm sorry.

It's been quite a night.

Not the one we planned,

but I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I love you.

Listen, can you just-

stall him for a couple of minutes,

I just want to get myself together.

It's okay,

Okay.

Charlie,

I'm interested in what you think.

Would you have done it?

Gone to Europa?

I couldn't possibly say,

but I think I finally understand.

It wasn't just your consciousness

that Jay wanted.

She wanted to orbit Europa, not for gravity assist,

but to spread bacteria and cells

from your body,

to bring the seeds of life

to take root in a new world.

That's the goal of the SEED Programme, isn't it?

Spread life to protect its existence?

That is how Jay

would have achieved her objective.

And, God

I don't know. That-

That is so much bigger than me.

That's a good answer.

Yeah, well, it's time to go.

Can you just

see if she's all right?

I'll be right out.

Of course.

Thanks, Charlie.

As far as we can, Sam.

[music] - Close your eyes.

Dream of somewhere better.

Hold on tightly;

This won't be for ever.

I'll get paid;

We'll run away together.

So hold on

tightly;

just waiting out

the weather-

weather.

And I will be your night light;

Your forever home.

Night light,

I'll be your night light, I'll be your night light,

Your life long,

All your life long.

If every night,

Every night,

You hold on,

Every night,

Every night, you hold on,

Oooh,

Close your eyes,

Picture somewhere

better.

And don't go quietly,

Give them hell forever.

And I will be your lifeline,

Your forever home.

Night light,

I'll be your night light, I'll be your

Night light, your life long,

All your life long.

If every night,

Every night, to hold on,

Every night,

Every night,

to hold on.

Ooh...
