[Michael] Good morning, Steve.

Morning.

[Michael] The jump chamber
is primed. Are you ready?

Yes.

[Michael] Let's go, then.

You have not eaten
since 0600 yesterday?

[Steve] No.

You have removed all jewelry
and artificial devices
from your body

including contacts,
hearing implants, and other
sensory-enhancement devices?

Yes.

[Michael] You have reviewed
and signed
the release documents?

-Yes.
-All right, then.

One last thing.

[gags]

[Michael] I hear they're
working on grape flavor.

Come on.

[creature snorts]

[Silloin]
Approach chamber.

[door closes]

[Michael] Remember,
stay as still as possible.

It's important
to breathe normally,

especially when
the solution covers you.

You must aspirate it

so that solution
coats all mucous membranes.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Yes.

Um, doc?

You haven't lost anyone
in this thing, have you?

Don't worry, Steve.

We're going to
take good care of you.

Now, try to relax,

and remember what I said
about breathing.

[Silloin]
The jumper will enter chamber.

Burr, to your station.

The jumper is ready.

[Linna]
Let's commence.

[Silloin] Closing chamber.

[whirring]

[thudding]

[beeping]

[Linna growls]

[Silloin] Process initiated.

Here we go, Steve.
Just relax.

[beeping]

[whirring]

Breathe, Steve.

[Linna speaks indistinctly]

[Silloin] Transfer initiated.

Transmitting.

Transmission complete.

Achieve balance.

[beeping]

Equation is balanced.

[Control Voice]
There is nothing wrong
with your television.

Do not attempt
to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling
the transmission.

We control the horizontal
and the vertical.

We can deluge you
with a thousand channels

or expand one single image
to crystal clarity

and beyond.

We can shape your vision

to anything our imagination
can conceive.

For the next hour,

we will control
all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches
from the deepest inner mind

to The Outer Limits.

should be attained
at almost any cost,

but what if
that ultimate payment

is one's soul?

So, Burr, you will meet Carson.

Uh, Will Carson, actually.

-Hi.
-Michael Burr.

The dinos aren't much
for first names.

-Welcome to the snake pit.
-Thanks.

[dinosaur grunts]

Carson replaces Jackson,
who's been sent back to Earth.

You will train Carson.

Uh, thank you,
Administrator Linna.

Warm and fuzzy,
aren't they?

I think etiquette
kind of embarrasses them,

if that's possible.

Um, well...

Oh, don't worry about it.
You'll get used to it.

Come on, I'll buy you
a cup of coffee.

[door opens]

[Will] You call them dinos
to their face?

They don't care.

In order to hurt
their feelings,

they have to have
them first, right?

But to insult them
to their face...

Oh, hell, they've got
worse names for us.

They call us "weeps"
and "the babies",

not that I blame them,

given how much more
advanced they are than us.

I'm just glad they stay
behind that glass.

Didn't they give you
any training
before you got here?

The glass is
for atmosphere.

Their air is three times
as dense as ours,

and it's mostly
carbon dioxide.

I know what
the glass is for,

but come on, tell me
it doesn't make you nervous

looking at those incisors
all day.

The Hanen are
a truly advanced species, Will.

They're not driven
by anger or fear or hatred

like those wonderful
human emotions.

In fact,
they're pacifists,

totally nonviolent,

And despite those incisors,
they're vegetarian to boot.

Wait a second.
They don't eat burgers?

I thought you said
they were advanced.

[chuckles]

[woman on PA]
Earth shuttle docking
in T-minus five minutes.

Damn, I forgot
about the shuttle.

Let's go meet
our next customer.

How often do these things run?

About every eight hours.

Some are supply ships.

Some bring jumpers

or take the ones
that arrive here

back to Earth.

[beeps]

[door closing]

Get a lot of returning jumpers?

A few.

Mostly people are dying
to get off Earth,

not come back.

[beeping]

[footsteps approaching]

Kamala Shastri,
I'm Michael Burr.

I'm your jump
supervisor.

This is Will Carson.
He'll be assisting me.

Nice to meet you both.

You're scheduled to jump
At 0800 tomorrow morning.

As you know it's important
that your body
acclimate itself here

for 12 hours beforehand.

If you'll follow me,
I'll show you to your quarters.

That'd be great. Thanks.

Thanks, Will.

I'll meet you
in the common room
in half an hour.

See you in the
morning, Kamala.

Well, maybe
winning the lottery

isn't the exact analogy,

but it's pretty close.

I mean, of 250,000 or so
applications for jumps,

how many do you
accept a year, 300?

Two hundred and seventy-five.

At least
in this pilot program.

Once this initial testing
is done,

there'll be a lot more.

Eventually, we'll have
1,000 jump stations

doing as many as
10 million jumps a year.

Of course,
that's still a few years away.

Which will be way too late
for my doctoral thesis.

That's why I feel so lucky.

I mean, there's no way
I could travel to Gend
the conventional way.

It would take me
over 100 years.

You'll be having lunch
with the Gendians tomorrow.

Wow.

After all these years of study,
to finally be there.

Well, here we are.

[beeps]

It's not exactly swank,

but you'll only be here
till morning.

As you know, no food tonight.
Water only.

Well, goodnight.

Michael.

Do you think
I could see it?

The jump room, I mean.

The room is off-limits
except during jumps.

It's against regulations to--

Oh, I won't touch anything.

I just want to see it
before I have to...

Before the jump.

Please?

[Michael] We're not allowed to
go into the room itself.

It's kept sterile
until just before the jump.

But you can see the room
and the jump chamber from here.

This is the control room.

You read about it
and see the vids,

but it's just not the same.

-It's amazing.
-Yeah.

The Hanen control
from in there.

And this?

This is the human
supervisor's control.

What's it for?

Once the transfer
is complete and confirmed,

we have two copies
of the jumper,

one here,

and an exact duplicate
at the destination point.

They told us of it in training.
It's called a redundancy.

That's right.

So you have to destroy
the jumper left behind?

The Hanen call it
balancing the equation.

How cute.

And euphemistic.

Oh, that's them,
sentimental to a fault.

-Does it hurt?
-Not a bit.

You'll close your eyes here
and open them in Gend.

It must be
hard for you, though,
to push that button.

I mean, knowing that it--

Before the Hanen will trust us
with this technology,

they must know
that we will

unflinchingly balance
the equation every time.

This is the whole reason
for this pilot program,

and it's the reason I'm here.

I have four advanced degrees,

and my only responsibility
is to push that button.

I don't think twice.

I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to imply--

It's all right.

I'm sorry if...

Burr?

This is irregular.

I know, Silloin.
I... I just wanted...

You will follow protocol,

and the jumper
will return to quarters.

Of course.
Goodnight.

[beeps]

This is Will Carson.

I'm in.
No one suspects anything.

[man] Excellent.
Keep us informed.

Good morning.

Already?

-Are you ready?
-Yes.

No.

Gendian, isn't it?

A meditation sphere.

It's supposed to reflect
your inner emotions.

I find it relaxing.

Judging by its color,

I'd say you were more queasy
than relaxed right now.

No kidding.

I should be excited,
but frankly,

I'm not sure
I can get out of this chair.

You will.
They all do.

Shall we?

So...

Patriarchal
power hierarchies, huh?

Excuse me?

Well, in your profile,
you said you were going to gend

for the next two years

to chronicle Gendian
patriarchal power hierarchies

within the
transgenic populations.

Sounds like
a bunch of heady stuff.

Well, the truth be told,

the anthropology
is only part of it.

It's really about Peary.

Peary?

And Galileo and Armstrong
and Goodall.

The thrill
of being the first human
to explore a new world.

Yeah, it's pretty cliche, huh?

No, just honest.

Most jumpers are the same.

They want to escape

the smog and overcrowding
of the Earth.

The mission statements
on the front
of those applications

are just the academic veneer.

You're pretty insightful
for someone with four degrees.

I thought you academic types
were withdrawn and bookish.

Well, it's just an image
we want to promote.

Helps hide
our social dysfunction.

Well... [sighs]

The dinos are nothing
if not punctual.

-My bag.
-It's okay.

We'll store it for you,
along with your clothes,

until you return.

Thanks for talking
to me, Michael.

It really helped.

It's all part of the service.

[man] How is the subject?

[Will] Calm and in control.

[man] We can't afford
another breakdown in protocol

with the Hanen.

I understand.
I'm going to observe
the jump now.

So far Michael has shown
no overt signs of stress.

I have no cause for concern.

I'll be in touch.

[device beeps]

...including contacts,
hearing implants,

and other
sensory-enhancement devices?

Yes.

You've reviewed and signed
the release documents?

Yes.

Your stasis solution.

L'chaim.

-Is it good?
-Delicious.

If you like
mercury-ethyl-chloride.

Would you keep this for me
until I get back?

Sure.

Who knows,

maybe you'll have better luck
making it work than I did.

I doubt it,

but you can show me
how to use it when you return.

I will.

[Silloin] The jumper
will enter chamber.

It's okay.

Here goes nothing.

You'll be fine.

Don't worry.
I'll walk you through it.

Thanks.

[whirring]

[beeping]

[Silloin] Process initiated.

Okay, Kamala,

remember to stay
as still as possible.

It's important
to breathe normally,

especially when
the solution covers you.

It has to coat
all mucous membranes.

-Do you understand?
-Yes.

That's the stasis solution.

It immobilizes the tissues

until a complete scan
can be done.

[Will] Does it really
stop the heart?

[Michael] Heart, brain, lungs.

Everything has to be
in complete stasis

for the scan to be a success.

Complete stasis for how long?

Just under two seconds.

Ouch.

[Michael] But the jumper
barely feels it,

because they're reconstituted
at their destination point

long before the effects
of the stasis can be felt.

You're doing great, Kamala.

Just try to keep
breathing normally.

You have to breathe in
the solution.

You can do it.

[Silloin] Transfer initiated.

Scan complete.

Transmitting.

[beeping]

[alarm beeping]

Stop.

What's up?

I don't know.
It's never happened before.

Non-confirmation
of transmission retrieval.

Do not balance equation.

[Silloin] Aborting procedure.

[Michael]
What do you mean, aborting?

Did she reconstitute
in Gend or not?

Retrieve subject.

[whirring]

[Kamala screaming]

[gasping]

Confirming this information.

Communication with Gend
was interrupted.

And when will you know?

[Silloin] We will inform.

What about Kamala?

-Kamala?
-The jumper.

The procedure was aborted.
She is unharmed.

Physically, maybe,

but it took me an hour
to calm her down.

She was nearly psychotic.

Mental states
do not concern us.

She is structurally
uncorrupted.

Structurally uncorrupted.
Great.

I will contact you
when I know more.

Michael? So?

They don't know when
they'll confirm transmission.

Looks like Kamala is going to
have to jump all over again.

-She's going to love that.
-Yeah, no kidding.

What about the Hanen?

What about them?

Are they angry
that Kamala lost it?

Why is it you're so worried
about how the Hanen feel?

And what is it
with all those questions
in the jump room?

For a replacement tech,
you don't know a lot
about jump technology.

I know... Of course I know
about jump procedure.

Not for someone
who's supposed to have
a double PhD in physics.

I know I'm new, but--

When two jump transmitters
are in phase,

what's the quantum
differential?

Okay, I'm not going
to be questioned like--

Who the hell
are you really?

Michael, it's not as nefarious
as it seems.

I'm with psych ops.

You're a shrink?

I did my quarterlies.

I know, and passed
with flying colors.

I know, just like Jackson,
but Jackson bugged out.

It made the brass nervous.
I was sent here to watch you.

Make sure you're okay.

You son of a bitch.
You're here to spy on me.

Look, Michael,
I'm sorry for the deceit,

but we cannot afford
another protocol breach
in front of the Hanen.

Unbelievable.

[softly] Unbelievable.

Is this what you'd call
establishing
good doctor-patient trust?

-Look, I--
-Save it.

-[device clatters]
-You just stay
out of my way, okay?

And you can tell your handlers

that if they're worried
about my sanity,

sending squirrels like you
to spy on me

isn't going to help the cause.

[door opens and closes]

How do you feel?

Like I just woke up
from a terrible nightmare

and realized it all
really happened.

It was horrible, Michael.

The darkness,
the suffocation,

and then the pain,

like your whole body's
being set on fire
from the inside.

You wish for death.

Do you know what that's like?

It's over now.

If it makes you
feel any better,

the Hanen are trying
to figure out what went wrong.

I don't care if they fix it.
I'm not doing it again.

I'm not getting back
into that machine.

Okay. It's okay.
You don't have to.

This whole program
is voluntary.

It's Hanen sweet tea.

Believe it or not, the dinos
have quite a sweet tooth.

It's good.

It can't be easy living here
with creatures
so different from you,

with only one other human being
as company.

It's not so bad.

You get used to it
after awhile.

-How long have you been here?
-Just over two years.

Wow.

And the walls
don't close in?

Even Earth is better
than this tin can.

The work I have to do
is important.

No, of course it is.

There's got to be
more to it than that.

There's something
keeping you here, isn't there?

I'm sorry. I'm prying.
It's a bad habit.

I'm an anthropologist.
Nosiness kind of comes
with the job.

No, it's okay.
It's just that it's just been
so long since I sat and talked.

Five years ago I lost someone,

someone very close
to me, and...

Do you know what ESS is?

Environment
Sensitivity Syndrome.

Of course.

My wife woke up choking
one morning,

and her lungs shut down.

She went into
anaphylactic shock,

and by the time we got her
to the hospital, she was dead.

My God,

and the doctors?

Well, they said it was ESS,

that Karen literally
had an allergic reaction

to the poisons
in the air around her.

I'm so sorry.

No, I lost it.

I withdrew. I went into deep,
deep depression.

I even thought about,
you know...

[chuckles]

What stopped you?

[device beeps]

[Michael] Molly.

She's with
her grandparents now.

When Karen died,
I just couldn't...

It's... It's the best
that she's with them.

You know,
and the terrible thing, though,

is knowing that Karen's death
could happen again with Molly.

You want to know
what keeps me here?

Hope.

The knowledge that one day
Molly might get off Earth,

that she and I
could find a place like Gend,

a place that has
fresh air and trees,
and we'll never look back.

My daughter will not die
the same way
that her mother did.

[device chimes]

[Linna] Burr, I will see you.

I'll be right there.

We have discovered the reason

for the irregularity
in the procedure.

Yes?

The transmission was sent
without corruption.

It has been received
at the destination station.

Kamala arrived on Gend?

[Linna] The transmission
has been received.

But I don't understand.

What about the alarms?

Silloin said the transmission
never went through.

An error was made
in receiving confirmation.

The communication
was not according to protocol,

but the jump transmission
has been received
without corruption,

Therefore, you will
balance the equation.

Wait a minute. You mean
I, I have to kill Kamala?

You will balance the equation.

So the jump transmission
actually went through,

and now you have to
balance the equation?

Like that's going to be
a walk in the park now.

[gasping]

What if I don't do it?

Look, Michael,
I know you're angry at me,
but do not joke--

I'm not!

Just for the sake of argument,

what if I don't agree
to kill her?

The Hanen
will shut down the program

and take their toys home.

Do I even need to tell you

that this technology
will liberate our planet?

No, but are we prepared to
get it by any means necessary,

at the death
of an innocent woman?

What about the millions
that are dying every year

because they're living
in pollution and filth?

I can't believe I'm even having
this conversation with you

after what happened
to your own wife.

You... You leave Karen
out of this.

I am talking
about one other person,

that's Kamala.

That is not Kamala.

It is a redundancy, a mistake.

The real Kamala is on Gend.

You tell that to the Kamala
drinking tea in her quarters.

And what about the Kamala

that will return home
two years from now?

What are you going to tell her
when she finds
a version of herself

living in her house,
working at her job?

The redundancy-elimination
rule is there for a reason.

You know this.

We cannot afford
to screw this up, Michael.

One way or the other,
we have to kill Kamala.

If you're not
prepared to do it, I will.

Stay away from her.
I will deal with this,
but my way.

Is that clear?

Or I'll show the Hanen
some erratic behavior

that will blow Jackson's
out of the water.

[Kamala] Hi.

Is the shuttle here?

Soon.

Another hour or so.

Actually, Kamala, I wanted
to talk to you about that.

Yes?

Are you sure about this,
about going home?

All the time and effort,
all the work you went through.

Are you sure you're ready
to give it all up?

I can't go through
that process again, Michael.

Kamala, what happened to you
was an accident.

It was a fluke.

The jump process
is uncomfortable,

but I promise you, it's nothing
like what you went through.

How do you know?

Because I've seen jumpers
come back through.

I... It is uncomfortable,

but, but, but they're hardly
traumatized by it.

The truth is that the Hanen
screwed this one up,

but are you ready to give up
this opportunity because of it?

I mean, you can jump again now,
or lose this chance forever.

You promise
it won't happen again?

The Hanen are meticulous.
They won't let it happen again.

What do you say?

You can take a step forward
toward your new life

or go back to the old one.

I'll do it.

[door opening]

[exhales]

[Silloin] Subject will
enter chamber.

-Michael...
-It's okay.

I'm here.
You can do this.

[Silloin] The subject
will enter chamber.

[screams]

[gasping]

-I don't think I can do this.
-Yeah.

I'll help you through it.

I'm sorry. I can't.

What's wrong?

[Silloin] The equation
must be balanced.

Subject will enter chamber.

What does she mean,
"equation must be balanced"?

You have to get
in the chamber, Kamala.

Wait a minute.

-What's going on here?
-[Michael] Kamala.

[Kamala] This isn't about
me jumping, is it?

The original transmission
went through to Gend okay.

What?

-But that would mean...
-You're a redundancy.

And you wanted to get me
into the jump chamber again.

We have to finish the process.

Kill me?

[Silloin] Burr,

subject will comply.

-[Kamala] No.
-[Michael] Kamala, listen.

No!

-Kamala.
-[Kamala] You lied to me.

No. I told you we needed
to complete the process.

Semantics. Don't pull that.
You know what you did.

You're right. I'm sorry.

Would you have gotten
into the chamber
if I'd told you the truth?

Of course not.

We need to finish
the process, Kamala.

The equation
needs to be balanced.

Stop saying that!

If you're going to do this,
at least call it by what it is.

You need to kill me.

Just say it.

I need to kill you.

So I'm just supposed
to get back in that device
and be turned into ash?

Forget it.

You knew this was part
of the jump process.

Of course, but not like this.

I was supposed to
close my eyes here and
open them in Gend, remember?

Look, a mistake's
been made.

I'm sorry for it,
but it's not my fault.

I'm not getting back
into that machine.

You signed an agreement.
You knew the risks.

Don't give me that contractual
obligation crap here.

This is different,
and you know it.

I'm not going to do it.

The next shuttle leaves
in about an hour, right?

When it leaves,
I'm going to be on it.

Where is she?

I need a moment
with Silloin, Will.

-No.
-Please?

Wait for me in your chambers.

I need a word, Silloin.

I want to talk to you
about Kamala Shastri,

the jumper.

[Silloin] Yes?

Well, she refuses to return
and finish the process.

She must.

Look, can't we
just let this one go?

I mean, we made the mistake.

-Can't we just--
-No.

You must balance the equation.

It is our primary law.

The consequences
are grave.

And the Hanen would pull out
if we let one jumper go?

There are those among
the Hanen, including Linna,

who want to deny humans
our technology.

They say your crude
emotional states

do not support our work.

Letting a redundancy live
is just what they need

to stop us from
helping your species' advance.

It is an unforgivable breach
of our protocol.

I know how important
your protocols are,

but please, Silloin,
can't you help them understand?

[Silloin] I cannot.

I know it is hard for you,
Burr, but you must do this.

You must terminate
the redundancy.

Do you understand?

[sighs]

[beeps]

[grunts]

[Kamala grunts]

Do it quickly, then.

Get up.

You're not going to kill me?

I'm getting you off
on the next shuttle.

We don't have much time.
Let's go.

[door opens]

[Michael] The shuttle
will be landing soon.

-Why are you doing this?
-I'll try to sneak you on,

but if all else fails,
we'll have to hijack it.

What about the Hanen?

They can stop us,
but they won't.

-Why not?
-They're pacifists.

Don't believe in violence
in any form.

A truly advanced
species.

But, Michael, the program.

I mean, if you
get me out of here--

-Do you wanna die?
-No.

Then stop arguing with me,
and do as I say.

[beeps]

I want you
to stay in here.

I'll greet the shuttle
passengers and the crew,
and then come for you.

If all goes well, we'll be able
to smuggle you onboard

for the return flight
without anyone seeing.

Thank you, Michael.

[beeps]

[woman] Earth shuttle docking
in T-minus five minutes.

-[Will] Michael!
-[cocks gun]

What do you think you're doing?

Don't get in my way, Will.

Or what?
Are you going to shoot me?

Just stay out of my way.

I see,

so you're going to save
one life by taking another?

This isn't right, Will.
She doesn't deserve to die.

Kamala Shastri is not dying.

She's alive and well on Gend.

You are not saving Kamala.
You are dooming the rest of us.

No.

You know it's true.

I can see it in your eyes.
Why are you doing this?

Because I care about her, Will.

And you can't watch another
woman you care about die.

Don't you
understand, Michael?

The Kamala on this station
is already dead,

As dead as Karen is.

It's all just formalities now.

You make it sound so easy.

No.

It's just inevitable.

It's time you stopped this,
that you did what's right.

-No.
-You must.

The Hanen are watching,
and you know that.

If you let that redundancy
leave this station,

you doom us.

You doom your daughter.

Are you going to choose
Kamala over Molly?

No!

Come on. We've got to go.

What's going on?

If the shuttle crew
come onto the station,

Will will warn them
about you.

We're going to have to
force our way on to the shuttle

as soon as they open
the outer door.

Okay. My bag...

Wait, wait.
I'll get it.

I see the shuttle.

It's about 100 meters away.

What is it?

-[Michael] I'm sorry.
-No.

-Michael!
-[door buzzes]

Don't do this.

Michael, please,
don't do this.

Michael!

No!

-[buzzes]
-[alarm wailing]

Michael, no!

[banging on door]

[Kamala] Thank you.

Wow, that's definitely easier

Michael, isn't it?

Excuse me?

You were my jump supervisor

You were very kind to me.

I'm sorry.
That was somebody else.

[Control Voice] As we pursue
technological advancement,

we should be careful

not to abandon our humanity
in the process.
