I saw this image when I was a kid.

The photograph of Jupiter
taken by NASA's Voyager.

Beautiful,

but nothing special
until shown in rapid succession.

Suddenly Jupiter was alive,

breathing.

I was hypnotized.

I was 17 when I got
my acceptance letter to MIT.

- One, two, three, MIT!
- Okay. Wait-

I felt like anything was possible.

I don't want to eat
the apple of cynicism.

And it was.

Yo, what's up, baby?
It's your boy Flava... F-L-A-V-A.

That's your dude
with the big mouth! Yo!

I don't know if you heard the news,
but the scientists say...

they just discovered
another planet super close to us...

with the conditions
that could support life?

Really? Well, now it's visible
up in the night sky.

They say if you look just east
of the North Star, you'll see it.

It's a little blue spot.

I want all you lovers out there
to make a wish...

on a tiny blue star...

as I play this hot joint for you
right now.

It's your boy Flava!

That's easy.

What rhymes with..."honey"?

"Bunny."

He's like,
"All right, enough with it!"

What rhymes...
Let's do some animals.

- You wanna give him some animals?
- Yeah.

- What rhymes with...
- "Lion"?

Oh, my gosh.

"Pion."
A pion.

A small puma
of the high Himalayas.

Did we figure out
what this guy's name is?

Bob.
Bob the robot.

He looks to me like a Bob.

Go ahead.

Feel her.

She's in there, all right.

I hope so.

What rhymes with...

"light"?

- "- Light"?
- Oh, that's a good one.

And by all appearances,
the, uh, planet...

seems to be a mirror to our own,

from the continental structures
to the oceans.

Even their cities are our cities.

And where are we in terms
of communication?

That's exactly my point.

If this planet is sustaining
intelligent life...

of comparable
levels to our own...

That's a very significant point.

So far we have nothing.
We have a jumble of radio signals,

the strongest of which
are military radars.

But even those radio signals
are not something we can
parse out and understand.

We don't even know
it really exists.

It could be some
cosmic mirror of sorts.

You've written
extensively about that...

as the most likely
explanation for why it's
identical to our own planet.

This planet exists.

It has mass and it has
a clearly detectable orbit.

It's even having radio signals.

So did you have a crew
on the inside?

Do you have any tattoos?

Jeffrey!
I'm just asking.

You hear about that guy
who's having the contest
to go to the other Earth?

I mean, it's so stupid.

They're gonna get sucked
into a black star and die.

Hmm.

Is it good to be home?

Yeah.

You know,
if you need anything...

Oh. Towels.

Night.

Good night, Mom.

Three, two, one.

Booster ignition, and liftoff.

This will be
a trip like no other.

We will give those
that travel with us a unique
and life-changing experience.

Travel to Earth Two.
Now booking.

I was thinking I would like

All right.

Well, there's

Just imagine that you're asleep

You're not sure where you are.

You're not sure

You likely would look around

You're attempting to find,

Me and Rob got into this huge,
stupid fight last night.

Really? About what?

I don't know.
We were hanging out, and he just started fighting...

- Hey.
- Oh, hi.

- Um, skipping Chemistry.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Guess who just texted me.

Is he gonna pick us up?

Yo! It's the winter solstice.

That's right.
The shortest day of the year,

which means it will also be
the longest night of the year.

So take advantage.
You know what I'm talking about.

Also, today marks the anniversary
of the discovery of Earth Two
a few years back.

Can you remember
what you were doing that night?

I know I remember.

I met this girl from Bridgeport...

that had a thing for the Flava!

That's right, baby.
You know how we do.

Baby, if you're still out there,
boo, holler at your boy.

Flava, F-L-A-V-A. Yeah.

Not only do I got a big mouth,
I got a... Uh.

You know my number.
Call me. Mmm.

...company that's underwriting
civilian travel to Earth Two.

Keith, with all the risks...

and all the unknowns,
why are you doing this?

I don't think governments
should dictate exploration.

And I don't think we should
automatically ban average citizens...

from being the first to see
this new world.

When early explorers first set out
west across the Atlantic,

most people thought
the world was flat.

Most people thought
if you sailed far enough west,

you would drop off a plane
into nothing.

These vessels sailing out
into the unknown...

they weren't carrying noblemen
or aristocrats, artists, merchants.

They were crewed by people
living on the edge of life...

the madmen, orphans,
ex-convicts, outcasts...

like myself.

As a felon, I'm an unlikely
candidate for most things.

But perhaps not for this.

Perhaps I am the most likely.

Rhoda?

Hi. Alex.

I know who you are.

How are you?
How... How is everything?

It's great.

You celebrating?

Yeah. I just got into
business school.

Boston.

Hey, I couldn't get arugula,
but I found this spring mix.

That's good. Uh, this is Rhoda,
an old friend of mine
from high school.

Oh, hi.
Hi.

I'm Claire.
Hi.

So, are you working?

West Haven High.

Yeah? What do you teach?

I clean.
What?

I clean the school.

Oh, that's cool.
That's probably
very therapeutic.

All right. Well, it was
good to see you, Rhoda.

Yeah, it was nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

How do you know her?

High school.

Yeah?

Mr. Burroughs?
Mm-hmm.

I, uh...

What?
Came to...

I came to tell you about-

What?

Tell you about a tri... a free trial
of our cleaning service.

What?

I'm from Maid In Haven.

We're a cleaning service.

We're looking to expand
our territory and our...
No, thank you.

Wait.

Did you say
"trial cleaning"?

Did you say "trial cleaning"?
Yeah...

God.
Sorry, it's a t-

Is it definitely free?
Yeah.

Fine. Let's go.

Come on.

Come on.
You can start in here.

Did you say "Maid In Haven"?

Yes.
Like New Haven?

Yes.

You're pretty far from New Haven.

There's a lot
of competition in town,

so we're offering
the free trial as a...

Where are your supplies?

Uh, normally, the first time
is a consultation.

Okay.

Well, you're already here,
so why don't you just...

clean this for a start?

Okay? There's mops
and things in there.

Okay.

I'm gonna be in that room.

Is everything okay?
Yes.

Scientists have said there is
overwhelming evidence...

that the two Earths...

- All right, that's enough.
- It's time for you to go.

So... Wait.
Is that it for the free trial?

Yeah, it's a one-day trial.

Um, all right.
So I'll see you next week.

I'll let them know.
They might send
someone else.

Okay.
Same time, same...

Yeah, this is a good time.
This is a good day too.

So, Jeff, I think we've got
a pretty important toast in order.

What do you think, huh?
Hey, hey, hey!
Hold on, hold on!

I just got the cider.
Come on, guys,
it's not that big of a deal.

Oh!
It is a big deal.

You've shown perseverance
in the face of adversity.

You deserve to be
saluted for that, Son.

Come on, Rho-tard.
Aren't you gonna ask
what happened?

What happened?

- I got into UConn.
- And we are so proud of you!

Hear, hear!

Chin-chin!

Cheers.

Mr. Burroughs?

I came to tell you that I saw you
at the site of the accident.

And I'm sorry for what happened
to you and your family.

It was my fault.

Mr. Burroughs.

Oh. Good.
Mr. Burroughs.

I...
Come on in.

You can start where you finished.

I was wondering if I could
talk with you about something.

Not now. A little bit later.

I'm finished.

Check's on the kitchen table.

We're not real.
W-We're not real.

We're a projection

Do you read me?

This is Dr. Joan T-Tallis.

We're getting feedback.

Hello?

Hello?

My name is Joan Tallis.

Whoa! No way!
I am the director of SETI.

Dude!
In Mountain View, California.

When were you born?

May 7, 1954.

When were you born?

May 7, 1954.

Mount Pleasant, New York.

Robinson Hope Hospital.

I took a trip to Cape Canaveral
when I was a kid.

Did you?

Yes. I was 11.

What did you buy
at the gift store?

Space food.

I thought I would be
going to space.

I bought these...
astro strawberries.

- What?
- Oh, come on.

- No way, dude! No way!
- What does that-
What does that mean?

It's... It's... Listen.
What does that mean?
I don't understand what that means.

Kimberly, it's just
an elaborate hoax.

- There's gotta be an explanation.
- We're all gonna die.

Wait, wait!
We are all gonna die.

It would be very hard to think
"I am over there"...

and "Can I go meet me?"...

and "Is that me better
than this me?"

"Can I learn from the other me?"

"Has the other me made
the same mistakes I've made?"

Or, "Can I sit down and have
a conversation with me?"

Wouldn't that be
an interesting thing?

The truth is, we do that
all day long every day.

People don't admit it and they don't
think about it too much, but they do.

Every day, they're talking
in their own head.

"What's he doing?"
"Why'd he do that?"

"What did she think?"
"Did I say the right thing?"

In this case,
there's another you out there.

Wanna take a look?

My God.

Yeah.

Wow.

You're up there
and I'm up there.

It's just too much.

I wonder if I'm cleaning your house.

Ha!

Maybe.

- Total's 29.
- Thank you.

Can you hand me
a paper towel?

Thanks.

If you wanna join me...

Round one.

You can come in.

Knockout.

You wanna play?

I don't know how.

It's easy.

It's easy.
You're a fighter, I'm sure.

The controller's up on the...

Hold the big one
in your right hand.

You okay playing boxing?
Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

To block shots,
you put your hands up.

Face.

And you... You know,
you lean and stuff.

And then for swinging,
you just swing.
That's it.

All right?

- Round one.
- Fight.

You gotta fight back.

Don't forget
your uppercut.

One! Two!
My guy's, uh,
on the ground.

That's it.

Knockout!
God.

How do I hook my...
You gotta swing.
You gotta swing. It's okay.

Easy.

Yeah. Try and break
through this.

Okay. That one...
I gave you.

Knockout!

Player one wins!
Okay.

Well...

That it, or you got
another one in you?

I thought so.

I didn't see your car.

I take Metro-North.

I'll give you a lift.

No, that's all right.

No, it's too cold
to wait for the train.

I don't mind the cold.

Really, it's okay.

Okay.

It's typical for planets...

like Mercury, Venus,
Mars and Jupiter...

to have a period
during their orbit...

in which they are
obscured by the sun...

and no long observable from Earth.

It's called superior conjunction.

If they remain behind the sun...

So, are you from New Haven?

Yeah.

Still have family there?
Mm-hmm.

You like working
at Maid in Haven?

It's all right.

Yeah. Have you
been doing it long?

Couple months.

You see that Joan Tallis
broadcast?
Yeah.

It's crazy.
I can't stop thinking about it.

Another me up there somewhere.

If you met yourself,
what would you say?

"Hey, you up
for a video game?"

Probably beat me.

What would you say?

"Better luck next time."

Really?
No, no.

No, I mean...

I'm sure I'd be speechless.

Up at the corner here is good.
Right here, and then you can just-

No, I'll take you to your house.
Is this it?

Yeah, okay. Right. Turn.

Yeah, just to the side
behind the van.
Okay.

All right. So I'll
see you next week.
Yeah.

Thanks for the lift.
Sure.

Oh, um, you know...

I'm sorry. My memory's
not what it used to be.
I forgot your name.

I don't think I ever told you.

Really?

That's not very polite of me.
So, it's...

Rhoda.

Rhoda. All right.

Good night, Rhoda.
I'll see you next week.

Good night.

Listen to me.

Keep your mind clear.

And that's it.

You will have peace of mind.

My dear, don't worry.

Learn to adjust yourself.

The distance is not inordinately great.

But one of the challenges you have...

on interplanetary travel...

Is prolonged weightless conditions.

You're in zero "G."

There is a possibility of
cosmic rays coming from stars,

and that could be
dangerous to them.

But once there,

you have no idea
what you're about to encounter.

What really are the beings
on this other planet like?

What happened?

I tried to do too much.

Thanks.

You know that story
of the Russian cosmonaut?

Mm-mmm.

Thanks.

So, the cosmonaut.
Mm-hmm.

He's the first man ever
to go into space.

Right? The Russians
beat the Americans.

Mm-hmm.

So he goes up
in this big spaceship,

but the only habitable
part of it's very small.

So the cosmonaut's in there,

and he's got this portal window,

and he's looking out of it,
and he sees the curvature
of the Earth...

for the first time.

I mean, the first man to ever
look at the planet he's from.

And he's lost
in that moment.

And all of a sudden
this strange ticking...

Begins coming out
of the dashboard.

Okay. Yeah.

Rips out
the control panel, right?
Takes out his tools.

Trying to find the sound,
trying to stop the sound.

But he can't find it.
He can't stop it. It keeps going.

Few hours into this,

begins to feel like torture.

A few days go by
with this sound,

and he knows that
this small sound...

will break him.

He'll lose his mind.

What's he gonna do?
He's up in space,

alone, in a space closet.

He's got 25 days left to go...

with this sound.

So the cosmonaut decides...

the only way
to save his sanity...

is to fall in love with this sound.

So he closes his eyes...

and he goes into
his imagination,

and then he opens them.

He doesn't hear ticking anymore.

He hears music.

And he spends
the remainder of his time...

sailing through space
in total bliss...

and peace.

Why... are you cleaning houses?

I like to clean.

Nobody likes to clean.

Some people build houses,
some people decorate them,

some people clean them.

How old are you?
Did you go to college?

No.

I read.

A wise choice.

I was a college professor.
You learn more doing it by yourself.

Did you hear about
that contest?

Mmm?

- The shuttle to Earth Two?
- Mmm.

I submitted an essay.

You did?

It's silly.

You'd go?

Yes.

You don't know what's out there.

That's why I would go.

It's a bad idea.

In Plato's allegory of the cave,
the people living in the cave...

All they knew,
what was in the cave,

and one day
one of them gets out...

and goes out and...

sees the real world,
comes back and tells the others.

You know what happened to him?
They beat him up.

They didn't believe it.
"That can't be," they said.

I don't think we're ready
to know what's out there.

It's a bad idea.

So you'd rather
stay in the cave?

I mean,
if Galileo had felt that,

we'd still think we're
the center of the universe,
that the sun is orbiting us.

I mean... They tried to burn him
at the stake for that.

Yeah, maybe they should have.

We still think we're
the center of the universe.

We call ourselves Earth One,
and them Earth Two.

You think they called
themselves Earth Two?

Probably not.
Did you wash that?

Did you wash that sweater?
Yeah. Yes.
I didn't dry it. I...

I laid it-
Give me that.

Why did you wash that?

Stop washing things.
Just stop washing things!

Leave them alone! Please!
Just go!

She does something that is...

She's weak.

She lies to him.

And then...

she thinks that she might,
in the smallest ways,

be able to make his life
just a little bit better.

And so she wakes up
every day just to do that.

And some days
she thinks it's for him.

Other days, she worries
that it's for herself,

that it was really just a way
to survive what I have done.

But I think that
I do make you happy.

Oh, my God.

I know that
you make me happy.

It was my fault.

Well, now...
now, wait a minute.

I mean, don't you think we... we should
have a discussion about this?

Oh, they're in the backyard now.

Look, Rob...
Rhoda. Rhoda.

Joining me now
from Washington, D.C.,

astrophysicist
Dr. Richard Berendzen,

the original proponent
of this extraordinary
Broken Mirror Theory.

Dr. Berendzen,
tell me the significance
of this theory,

why it excites you
and how this changes...

the possibilities of the planet
known as Earth Two.

In the grand history
of the cosmos,

more than 13,000 million years old,

our Earth is replicated elsewhere.

But maybe there's another way
of seeing this world.

If any small variation arises...

they look this way,
you look that way...

suddenly, maybe everything changes,

and now you begin to wonder,

what else is different?

Or one might say that...

you have an exact mirror image
which suddenly is shattered,

and there's a new reality.

And therein lies the opportunity...

and the mystery.

What else?

What new? What now?

Stay away!

Get away from me.

Please let me in.
Please. Just-
Stay- Stay away from me!

Stay away!

John?

- John?
- Stay away from me.

John, please let me in.

Stay away from me!
Open the door.

I'm warning you,
stay away from me!
Please.

I have something I have to explain.
I have to tell you. Please.

Wait.

Okay...

John.

Do it.

I heard on TV about a theory.

They think...

that the moment
we first saw the other Earth...

was the moment
our synchronicity was broken.

That was just
over four years ago.

Maybe they're up there.

Maybe not, but...

maybe.

We are just days
before the launch...

of the United Space Ventures'
civilian shuttle.

Members of the crew
of this dangerous voyage...

have been training intensely
here at the Mojave Spaceport.

The media blackout
was finally lifted...

with a press conference
early this morning.

I'm feeling privileged,

and,

oddly, I'm proud.

And, of course,
nervous and excited.

The modified Saturn 5 rocket-

See you, Freddie.
Has undergone
rigorous testing...
