What is two plus two?

- Incorrect.

You have been
in an induced coma.

- You may experience

- some memory loss

difficulty speaking.

Body movement detected.

For your own safety,

please return
to the medical platform.

Where am I?

Please remember muscle function

has not yet been restored.

People!

Hello?

Where am I?

Red leather, yellow leather.

Why is there
an atomic resolution

scanning electron microscope?

Why do I know that?

Am I smart?

Hello?

Please record video diary.

No.

Can I speak
to the person in charge?

The, uh, captain.

Captain Yáo, Li-Jie. Deceased.

Yeah, where, um,
are the living people?

- Dr. Ryland Grace.

End of manifest.

I can't be
the only person here. Right?

Pilot detected.

- No! No. No-No. Not the pilot.

Uh

Call, uh, Houston.

Unknown command.

Operation Go Home in effect.

Invalid operation.

That's the sun! There it is.

So, what are we,
like, Neptune-ish?

Let's crank up the radio
and call Earth.

Current transmission time to Earth

is 11 years, 10 months,
14 days and 6 hours.

No. Nope. You're wrong.

I need a map.

Oh.

Uh

That's so far.

That's really far. Uh

That's not our sun.

That's not our sun.

Where is the fuel?

Wait.

We are just
minutes away from the fly-by

through the Petrova line
near Venus.

So, what can you tell us
about the ArcLight probe?

What do we expect to find?

The image we see

will be coming
from the onboard microscope.

Um Oh, my God.

Sorry. I have to go now.

Sound waves are physical.

And at different frequencies,

they make different
pattern--

No, pattern--

They make different
patt--

Olivia, can you
help me out? There we go!

Whoa!

Yeah.

Are they really eating the sun?

The space dots?

That is a great question,
uh, Rekha.

And I'd be curious what
your parents think about that.

I'm not sure
it should come from me.

Hey!
Who wants to play a game of

the bean bag is lava!

Lava! Lava! Lava!

What is the speed
of light, Olivia?

Uh

It's melting
your hands, Olivia!

186,000 miles per second!

Oh! Give her
a round of applause.

That is awesome.

What is the Petrova line?

Pass!

You can't pass!

I just did.

Lava! Lava! Lava!

Come on, guys.

Two years ago

a radio telescope enthusiast
named Irina Petrova,

she noticed
that there was a streak

of infrared light
from the sun to Venus.

And that is now known
as the Petrova line.

That's it.

That's the dots?

They think so.

What dots?

These dots.

They sent a probe
up to the Petrova line,

and this is what they found.

Are they eating the sun?

They seem to be

dimming the sun a tiny,
teeny-weeny, little bit.

So, no big whoop.

It's a small whoop.

It's a small-to-medium whoop.

Over the next 30 years,
the Earth could

cool maybe 10

to 15 degrees.

So it is a big whoop.

I heard
that all the crops will die,

the economy will free-fall,

and half the Earth
will die of starvation.

- Well

We're all gonna die!

Yeah, it's true.

You're forgetting something.

Guys, guys! That's if
that were to happen. Right?

They're gonna figure this out.

Right now, the best minds
in the entire world are on it.

Good morning, Dr. Grace.

I'm up!

- Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Not good at jokes.

Not good
at jokes who?

Dr. Grace?

Maybe.

Eva Stratt. I'm with
the Petrova Task Force.

I need your help.

Me.

Did you write this?

Oh.

I'm interested
in this section here.

Uh
- Page 31.

"The Goldilocks Zone
Is For Idiots:

Why Everyone
Is Wrong About Life."

That was a long time ago.

Do you stand by what you wrote?

I was fired
for standing by what I wrote.

You were fired

for calling the leading
scholar in your field

"a staggering waste of carbon"

at the UNESCO conference
in Denmark.

You heard about that, huh?

Look,
I don't know what this is,

but, uh, I think I'm not s--

That's lava.

It's not.
- Okay.

No one in your field
wants anything to do with you

because you refused
to back down

from a very unpopular view,

and I can give you a chance
to prove them all wrong.

Uh Kevin, no running.

I'm not.

Well, joke's on them because
I don't even care. So

I think you do care.

You're running away
because you're scared.

No, I'm not.

Do you still believe water

is unnecessary
for life to evolve?

Uh

Look, there is nothing magical
about hydrogen and oxygen.

Water is required
for life on Earth, sure.

But a completely
different planet

might have completely
different conditions.

I don't know why
that makes me such a nut.

I need you to come with us.

Sorry,
I didn't catch your name.

Carl. Hi.
- Dr. Grace,

Petrova line samples
splashed down last night.

I want you to tell me
what they are, how they work.

I am a teacher
at Grover Cleveland Middle.

And you have a doctorate
in molecular biology.

And I ride a bike to work,
and it's not for exercise.

So I'm sure there are thousands

of other people
who are better--

It survives
on the surface of the sun.

Does that sound like
a water-based lifeform to you?

The sun's really dying,
isn't it?

Yeah.

Is all of this necessary?

Yes.

Please analyze
the Petrova sample.

Um

Just one thing.

The entire room
is filled with argon.

Just try not to rip your suit.

Uh

Am I expendable?
Is that why you want me?

That's not the only reason.

It's almost like
you don't care if I die.

Hold on.
You have to talk about it?

The consensus here

is that it would be preferable
if you did not die.

Thanks, guys.

Oh.

Welcome to Earth.

- Are they alive?

They're moving.

So they're alive.

Yes, they're moving,

but that could be
for many reasons.

What are they made of?

It's gonna take a long ti--
It took like 200 years

to figure out
how bacteria works, so

Please do it faster.

I'm just going through
the whole light spectrum here.

Wow!

You're not gonna believe this.

Nothing happened.

I can't see into these buggers.

Amazing.

X-rays, microwaves,
gamma rays, visible light.

Nothing!

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I've been
dying to do this all day!

It's a cell!

It's a cell.
Wake up! It's a cell!

It's a tiny alien cell.
You guys!

Applause.

Guys!
This is first contact!

With life outside of the--!

- Uh-oh.

Oh, it died.

- What?

This is great news.

Now we can find out
what they're made of.

You guys fired up?

Yes!

Right?

Carbon.

Oxygen.

Hydrogen.

- Oh.

It's made

almost entirely

of water.

All right.

Sorry
if I overreacted in there.

Just, uh, realizing I was wrong

about the only original idea
I ever had.

Yeah. What else did you learn?

They give off infrared light
when they move.

Mm-hm.

Like, so much.

I don't know how
they store all that energy.

But, uh, their wavelength is
exactly the Petrova frequency.

The light is how they move.

Yeah, they consume
the sun's energy,

and then they expel it
for propulsion.

They toot to scoot basically.

Why did it go to Venus?

I don't know.

Okay. We'll tell you.

What?

I have 347 other biologists
in 21 countries

mobilizing as we speak.

So thank you for your help.
I'm glad you didn't die.

Let's pack this up.

- Pack up!

That's it?

That's it, Carl?
- Talk to her.

You're taking all the stuff?

At the school you said

there were thousands of people
more qualified than you, so

I was being modest.
- I don't need modest.

I need people
who think they're right

when everyone else
thinks they're wrong.

I need people
who piss other people off.

That's me!

Do you want to be on a project?

If you think I can help, then

Just answer the question.

I wanna help the world.

I left you three dots.

Just three, huh?

Plus the one you killed.

I would take the three.

Yes?
- I'll take the dots.

Get to work, Dr. Grace.

The world is counting on you.

Hey, Carl?

This is Carl.

Imagine for a second

that you're
an interstellar microorganism.

I'm not doing that.

Why would you
leave the sun and go to Venus?

Why not stop
at Mercury? It's closer.

Maybe fresh air?

Venus's atmosphere
is mostly CO2.

Maybe that's fresh air to them.

You don't know what
these little space dots like.

Hey, Carl?

Do we have an expense account?

We don't.

But I do.

All right,
I got something for you.

Thank you.

Do you have a coupon?
- We don't need a coupon.

We're the government.
- Which government?

All of 'em.

So this box is Venus.

The box is Venus.

It's set to emit the same
infrared light frequency

as Venus's CO2 atmosphere.

So if the dots move
when you turn the lights on,

that means
they're looking for CO2.

Thus proving
the Carl Hypothesis.

Sick.

Sorry.

All right.
- All right.

You ready?

Uh-oh.

Why you saying "Uh-oh"?

The Astrophage
moved off the slide.

Huh?

We lost them.

What do you mean,
we lost them? Go get them.

If I open the door
in the light,

they're gonna escape, and then
we'll lose them forever.

At least now
they're in the box.

So we'll just
turn the lights off.

But there'll still be light.
It's gotta be total darkness.

Okay, so just put this box
in another box.

Nice.

Go ahead and close it. Over.

I can hear you.

Entering phase two.

I'm in.

Please report. Over.

There's one.

There's two!

Come on! Get the third one.

Got sample three.

The Three Musketeers.
The Three Stooges.

Uh-oh.

What? What?

Are you sitting down?

No, I'm standing
like a grown man.

'Cause there's a fourth.

What?

We're fathers, Carl.

Now I'm sitting down.

Stratt.

Carl and I made a baby.

What?

We figured out
how Astrophage breeds.

Don't move.

Wheels up.

- You know, Carl,

when Stratt said
she was sending a jet,

I thought you meant
like a PJ or something.

I know.
- Take this.

Been a long time
since I've taken a pill

from a stranger
without knowing what it was.

Stop! Stop!

Dr. Grace,
how was your flight?

Where are we?
- The ocean.

The Astrophage reproduction.
Can you do it at scale?

Oh, in theory, you just get
a bunch of elbow-shaped pipe,

put sunlight in one end--

Excuse me for a second.

Write it down.
- Yes, ma'am.

and IR light and CO2
in the other. Repeat.

Anything else you need for--

Just some water.

He gave me a pill
and it's still in my throat.

Two venti coffees.

Thank you so much.
Water for him.

Or coffee. That's

I need both.

Or not.

Okay, so this is
kind of a tough room,

so don't take it personally.

I don't need anything fancy.

As long as there's a bed
and a shower I'm good.

I can't do this.
- Come on. Yes.

I can't. I can't.
- You're doing great.

Everyone,
this is Dr. Ryland Grace

from the United States.

Please go here. Thank you.

And he figured out
how to breed Astrophage.

How did you do it?

How long
does the process take?

Does it reproduce
by mitosis or meiosis?

What is the incubation period?

Um

Carl and I made a mini Venus
out of a plywood box,

and as soon as
the samples recognized

the, uh, spectral signature
of CO2, they were

They were like,
"Whoomp! There it is!"

Okay.

You can sit down.

Who's Carl?

While your experiment
was crude and clumsy,

our scientists
have replicated his results.

I'm sorry, how did you see--?

We estimate
an eight-day doubling time

under optimal conditions.

Dr. Grace is right.
- Oh.

It is the CO2.

That's why
they're going to Venus.

Please say it for everyone.

That's why
they're going to Venus.

So that's why
they're going to Venus,

is what Dr. Grace wants to say.

They're going to breed.

Whoomp! There it is.

I really like him.

How long
to make two million kilogram?

Two million?

Two million is--

Why

on earth would you need
that much Astrophage?

Nobody told him?

He has no clearance.

Please stand up, Dr. Grace.

Stand up.

I hereby grant you
top-secret clearance

to all information pertaining
to Project Hail Mary.

What's Project Hail Mary?

All right.

The sun
is not the only star dying.

There is a clear pattern
of infection.

Every star was infected
by its neighbor except one.

Tau Ceti?

That's right.
11.9 light years away.

It is uninfected

despite being well within
the cluster of infected stars.

Why? Tell him.

We don't know!

Which is why
we decided to build a ship

to go there and find out.

It's 11.9 light years away.

You can't just
build an interstellar ship.

Oh yeah, we can.

The ship
is not really the problem.

The energy required to power
the ship is the problem.

It was the problem.

The Astrophage is the fuel.

Provided we can
make enough of it.

And for that,
we need you, my friend.

Me?

Ooh. Those little guys
store a lot of energy.

One mistake
and that much Astrophage

could vaporize California.

That's true, which is why
you now live on a boat

in the middle
of the ocean in case

I live on a boat?
- You do.

So you wanna build
a near-light speed spaceship,

have it travel further
than any human-made object

has ever traveled,

and visit a star
just to "see what's up"?

Yeah.

And then what?

There won't be
enough fuel for a round-trip

so they send their findings
back to Earth on probes.

And the astronauts

die in space?

Yes.

Space.

Any other plans
you've thought of?

Anything else
you're kicking around?

There are
infinite possibilities

for this to go wrong.

It almost certainly won't work.

It's what you Americans
would call a long shot.

Hail Mary.

I get it now.

The alternative
is to just do nothing

and to starve
and to kill each other

and watch everything
on this planet go extinct,

including us.

So

That's a long time
to be in space.

They'll be in comas
for most of it.

But is that even safe?

Nothing about this is safe.

We only need three.

A pilot.

An engineer.

And a scientist.

Commander Yáo.

I must have known you,
but I just don't remember.

You make a funny face

in literally every picture.

You must have been very smart

and strong

and brave.

Ilyukhina.

First, I owe you
three bags of vodka.

You seemed
to have had a lot of friends.

This picture of you,

what looks like
sneaking into the Kremlin

is legendary.

I wish you were still here.

I wish I wasn't alone.

I wish I was

doing a better job, I just, uh

You were both very loved.

You deserve
much more than this.

I'll do my best

to make sure that you don't

you know, that you didn't--

I'll do my best.

Approaching Tau Ceti orbit.

Prepare for engine cutoff.

- Fourteen, thirteen
- What?

Why engine cutoff?

Seems like something
we should talk about.

Pilot detected.

- What? No. I'm not a pilot!

Four, three

What happens at zero? I mean--

You are now orbiting Tau Ceti.

What the fudging fudger?

Petrovascope operational.

It's Tau Ceti.

You have a Petrova line.

But you're not dimming.

Why?

What is that?

Blip-A detected.

What's a Blip-A?

Blip-A detected.

No, no. No, no, no.
Let's go. Let's go, Mary.

No-No-No-No!

Pilot detected!

Please engage restraint.

Pilot detected!

Pilot detected.
- We're getting outta here.

Engage spin drive.

Engage the spin drive.
- Incorrect.

Welcome to the Hail Mary.

Is it this thing?

Erratic maneuver detected.

Yeah.

Blip-A detected.

What do they want?

What?

Blip-B detected.

What's a Bl--?

Current distance
from Hail Mary is 800 meters.

It's sending me something.

It could be a message.

It could be a bomb.

Is it a bomb?

Shields up!

There are no shields
on board the Hail Mary.

Why not?

- Thirty meters.

Twenty meters. Ten.

Well, I guess there's egg
on both our faces, huh, Mary?

Blip-C detected.

What's that?

Why is it moving so much
slower than the last one?

They think I'm dumb.

If we were gonna catch it,
what would we do?

Would you like to go
on a space walk, Dr. Grace?

To begin your space walk,

put on your EVA suit
and proceed to the airlock.

Yeah.

Yes!

No.

That's just crazy.

Righty tighty, lefty loosey.

Xenon's a gas.
I think this thing's broken.

We need equipment

to analyze the Astrophage
at Tau Ceti. Correct?

Dr. Grace.
- Sorry. Hi.

Most of
this equipment won't work

in zero gravity.

And we have a team
to develop and build

zero gravity versions
of this equipment.

We would need years for that,

and we have months.

What's the alternative?

We make gravity.

Centrifuge?

Centrifuge.

They used them to make butter
during the Civil War,

actually.

It's a fun fact.

Lab operational.

Still Xenon!

Up is down! Left is right!
Xenon's a solid!

Aliens are real!

I'm wrong about everything
and everything's wrong.

Lefty tighty, righty loosey.

I mean--

Oh no!

Foreign presence detected.

You're a long way from home.

I'm a long way from home too.

Blip-D detected.

Is that me?

My ship.

I don't understand.

Oh.

You want me

to go back in my ship?

But I just got here.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

What are they doing, Mary?

It is not advised

to modify the centrifugal
settings of the ship.

Thank you, Mary.

What?

Oh my.

This is new.

Anybody home?

I like what you've done
with the gravity.

I made you a ship.

It's ramen.

I only made one.

I'm not sure
how many of you there are.

Hi.

No-No-No-No-No!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

You scared me when you went:

Wow.

Can't seem to see a face.

Mysterious.

Faces are overrated.

You like tapping, huh?

This is fun.

You're pointing.

You're not tapping. Sorry.

Another present.

I don't have one of these.

I love it! Thank you.

What, I put this on my head?

- Take off my head?

Take my helmet off?

No.

It'll

That's a big ask.

Oh.

This has taken a turn.

Thank you for
what I hope is not handcuffs.

And I'm sorry
about the whole helmet thing.

Unfortunately, I need oxygen
to breathe, so

Two rings of eight.

O2.

You little rascal.

This is oxygen!

I still don't think
I can do it, though. Sorry.

It's just, uh

if I'm wrong, I'm really wrong.

Okay.

It's the Petrova line.

We're here for the same reason.

You have
a Petrova line problem too.

You need to solve it.
I need to solve it.

That's why you made me this.

I'm gonna take that as a yes.

If we're gonna
save our planets,

we have to learn
how to communicate.

You know, they say math
is the universal language.

I thought maybe we find out
if that's true?

You see the numbers?

Oh, you want this?

Whoa! Christmas Eve, that is

It's really hot in there.
Is that ammonia?

Anyway, that's

Look, see the numbers?

No. They're on the other side.

Do it again.
If you do it again and you--

Don't let it snap back.

Don't do it. Don't do it.

Hold it like that.
And you look--

Wow. Wow.

How 'bout something else?

Look at this.

A clock.

We both have time. Right?

These are the hands,
and these are the numbers.

One, two, three.
They point to the numbers.

And if you'll notice,

there's numbers there,
and there's also numbers here.

Okay.

It is dark.

I got an idea.

Wait.

Don't Yeah.

Don't go anywhere. Stay.

Oh. Oh yeah.

I'm Grace.

I'm gonna call you Rocky.

You know, 'cause you look
like a giant rock. Oh!

Um, I'm fine.

Echolocation. Right?

You need surfaces to see.

Try this.

You see the numbers?

What is that?

Is that good?

Jazz hands means "good"?

We do this.

Your version of this

is our thumbs up.

Nope. That's thumbs down.

We do the thumbs up.

It's close enough.

You want me to wait? I wait?

Yeah. No

I'm really excited to be
working with you on this.

Fired up.

I'm sorry I'm talking so much.

It's just, I haven't been
around anyone in a long time.

Oh.

What have we got here?

It's a clock.

I showed you a clock

and you're showing me a clock.

We're, uh, clock bros.

Right.

Um, I gotta be honest.

I'm not sure
I'm getting all of this.

Check this out.

I thought I might record you.

- Oh, no-no. No. That's okay.

It's just a microphone.
Works like this.

Let's start with one.

One.

No-No, wait, wait, wait. Sorry.

Okay. One.

And

One!

Okay.

So, uh

I met an alien.

And we're learning
to communicate.

Let's do names.

Okay, let's start with you.

Rocky.

You done?

My name--

Can't wait to hear this.

is Grace.

What's your word
for my name? Go ahead.

You know,
enough to order at restaurants.

We have about 250 words.

My atmosphere
would kill him and his, me.

But I like to keep a wall up
in my relationships anyways.

He's a mechanic, I think.

He uses a metal form of xenon.

He can make anything.

Look at this.

I'm calling it "xenonite."

And if I can't understand
what he's saying,

which is most of the time,

he puts on a little puppet show
for me and my tiny brain.

And you know what?
I don't mind it.

He's kinda growing on me.

At least he's not
growing in me, you know?

Which was a concern
for a little while.

His sun is dying too.

So maybe
we can help each other.

Recognize this?

We call it "Astrophage."

It means star-eater.

"Astrophage on me star.

Bad, bad, bad,
bad, bad, bad, bad." Yeah.

Same.

Why are you alone?

Twenty-three?

Wow. Um

What happened to them?

I'm sorry.

How did they die?

Oh.

Um

There were three of us,

and two died on the way here.

I wish I knew why.

Now it's only me.

Correction.

Deal.

Called a fist bump, by the way.

What's that?

"Fist my bump"?

No. It's fist bump.

It's not the same.

Exactly. The Astrophage
has to reach Tau Ceti.

Otherwise, we wouldn't
see the Petrova line.

Do we really
need this whole model?

Right.

Oh boy.

I used to have
one of these in my classroom,

and it was a lot simpler
to set up.

One sec. What? What?

That is a great question.

You know what? Try this.

Why is a schoolteacher

in space, question?

No.
- Don't like that voice.

Can't unhear it, really.
- Scary.

Let's try this.

Ooh.
- Nope.

Why is a schoolteacher
in space?

No need to even continue. Nope.

Why is a schoolteacher in space?

What's so funny, question?

Why is a schoolteacher in space?

I mean

It has charm, but no.

Meryl Streep?

Why is a schoolteacher in space?

She can do anything.

Why is a schoolteacher in space?

Don't think so.

Why is a schoolteacher in space?

That's not bad.

I like.
- All right.

And in answer to your question,

I have no idea
what I'm doing in space.

I don't remember.

Is okay.

Grace find out
when Grace go home.

I'm gonna go to sleep.

No understand word.

Sleep?

Uh, just, you go like this.

Died? Is died? Died?
No-No-No-No-No.

No. Not died. Just lay here
for 29,000 seconds and then

we wake up!

Oh. Understand.

We call this:

Okay. Here we go.

Sleep.

Good night, sir.

I watch Grace sleep.

No, that's fine.
That's a little weird.

I'll be good. Good night!

No, not safe.
Eridians must watch sleep.

That's really interesting.
That sounds like something

We can unpack that tomorrow.

Rocky watch crew many days.

Crew not wake up.

That's where you're gonna be?

No, it's usually closer.

On your chest.

I wonder if it would work
from a little farther back.

But Grace won't
feel comfortable and safe.

Well Hey, look, I'm seeing

so many sides of you lately,
and it's great.

Right now I'm seeing
the underside of you.

Kind of a side sleeper anyway.
Good night.

So, we watch each other sleep.

Eridians don't sleep
like a human does.

They seem
legitimately paralyzed.

If danger comes,
he can't wake up.

It's a survival norm.

Someone has to keep you safe.

Mission update.

Scientific objective completed.

Flight team, I want
you to meet Dr. Ryland Grace.

He is currently
the world's leading authority

in Astrophage biology.

Dr. Grace,
these are the three astronauts

going on the mission

and their backups
for redundancy.

Yáo, Ilyukhina, and DuBois.

Our pilot, engineer,
and science officer.

It's an honor.

I'm excited to share

what I've learned about
Astrophage and spin drives.

We have 1,009 of these
Little Engines That Could

on the Hail Mary and--

Okay.

You're doing great.
- What?

Once the mission is complete,

we have the option
to end our lives on our terms.

The alternative is slow
miserable death by starvation.

I want to do lethal injection

with a little bit of heroin.

I will have
what she's having.

Following on
from Dr. Grace's discovery,

we've built an IR emitter
set to the wavelength of CO2,

which attracts the Astrophage
to this revolver face.

The drive
then rotates outwards, yeah?

We increase the IR,
the Astrophage get excited,

thrust the ship forward,
and so on and so on.

This is less than a gram
of Astrophage,

and we only need
a fraction of this

for this demonstration,
if you want to take a look.

To do what?

To melt a metric ton of metal.

Powerful stuff.

Commander Yáo,

I really appreciate
what you all are doing.

You would do the same.

I would choose
just not to go at all.

I don't have the bravery gene
that you all have. Trust me.

It's not a gene.

You just need to find someone
to be brave for.

Movement detected.

Hi, Grace.

You're in a ball!

So Rocky
no die in Grace atmosphere.

I come up.
- Oh, you're coming up.

Foreign body detected.

Grace and Rocky big science

how to kill
Astrophage together.

I keep going this way?

This room boring.
- Rocky!

Science. Save Earth.
Save Erid. Good plan.

No! No! No!

What this down here, question?

Amaze, amaze, amaze.

Rocky want
to see human technology.

Dirty, dirty, dirty.
Dirty, dirty.

Why room so messy, question?

Well, I wasn't
expecting company, was I?

Is this room for garbage? Oh.

Dirty, dirty, dirty.
- No. This is the lab.

This is
where the science happens.

What this? What this?
- That's the evaporator. Whoa!

What this?

That is the disco ball.
That makes me happy.

Rocky will build workshop here.

Will need much room for Rocky
and much less space for Grace.

What is happening here?

We go Petrova line.
We collect Astrophage.

We study it. We go home.
We collect. We save Earth.

And when you say
"we," uh, where?

I see Grace!

Apology, apology, apology.
- Whoa! Enough!

Rocky, stay!
- Rocky new to ball.

Rocky, my hand is up.

We can't just show up
in a space ball unannounced

and move into someone else's
spaceship. Right?

There has to be boundaries.
- Boundaries.

We have one mission.
- Mission.

But we're two
distinct individuals.

Individuals.

Both working on our distinct

individual parts
of that mission.

Mission.
- Separately.

Separately.
- Okay.

Where my bedroom?
- Bedroom?

For what?

So I have a new roommate now.

Be careful back there, okay?

The chore wheel's
pretty lopsided.

Where on earth does that go?

Not on Earth. More high.
- It goes this way?

Wall. Wall.
- All the way out to here?

Yes. Out, pointy.
- What?

He tells me what to do,
he tells me why to do it,

he tells me how to do it,
he tells me when to do it.

And then when I do it,

he's like,
"What are you doing?"

I'm just saying you're gonna
get out of the ball

to get into a much bigger ball?

Yes. For sleeping.

Sounds like
you're having an argument.

You don't even use a bed!

Conflict is normal
amongst crewmembers.

You have the Hellraiser thing
that you sleep on.

- What do you need a bed for?
- Grumpy, angry, stupid.

How long
since last sleep, question?

Don't talk to--
Armando. Yes. Can I help you?

You're doing this.

It's a lot of this.

And then he's like,

"No understand, no understand."

And then it's like

"Need a word."

You know
what the word is? Bossy.

I'm like one of the villains
in the Superman movie.

I'm just,
like, trapped in hell.

Get me out of here!

His eating habits are

exotic.

Grace look disgust when eat.

How do you look when you eat?

Is look beautiful.
- Show me.

- Oh my God.

Oh my God.

He has incredible hearing.

He can see through walls.

Personal space is at a premium.

Who is Grace
talking to, question?

There's no way
you can hear me right now.

Can hear.
Who are you talking to?

You can hear this?

Yes. Grace say,
"You can hear this?"

What about this?
- Yes.

Oh my God. Look at this.

Look how far away he is.

That is where he is.
- Hello, Grace.

He's right here. Okay?
- Hello, Grace Friend.

Did Grace
find sampler instruction?

Yes, I found
the sampler instruct--

Yes, I found
the sampler instructions.

He's really smart
about some things.

Oh my God, he's got a gun!

Oh. This? No, no, no.

This to screen in front,

and now this to that over here.

Now Rocky can hear screen.

Please don't point it at me.
- Oh. Point over here.

Yes.
- Oh, okay. Now over there.

You're pointing at me again.

But his species
doesn't know about things

like relativity and radiation.

And the rest of the crew?

In mid of ship. There.
- In here?

And where did
you keep the Astrophage?

Fuel tanks
next to Rocky workshop there.

I think the radiation is what
made your crew sick, Rock.

The Astrophage probably
just protected you from it.

This isn't something
that you could have fixed.

But I guess together
we're, you know, pretty smart.

Since we're only gonna
be able to intersect

with the Petrova line
for a few seconds,

we're not gonna have enough
time to get a good sample.

Too fast.
Do puppet show. Too fast.

I don't want
to do the puppet show.

No, do puppet show.

This is us.
We're, you know, flying along.

The problem is,

because the solar system
is constantly moving,

the Petrova line is gonna
constantly be moving. Right?

Am I still doing it?

You still want it?
- Yes, yes. Show time.

So we're not gonna have time
to get the sample.

No, no, no.

Use planet gravity
to move with line.

You mean sort of
like rest in its orbit?

Yes.

I didn't think of that.
- I did.

We figured out a plan.

We're gonna orbit the planet
where Astrophage breeds,

collect a sample and figure out
why it's not eating Tau Ceti.

Who is Grace talking to?

I'm not talking to anyone.

I need a break.

Break from what?
- Oh my God.

Forget it,
this isn't gonna work.

150 million kilometers away.

Racing along
at 162 kilometers per second.

Means we should arrive
at Tau Ceti-e at--

Arrival at Tau Ceti-e

in 11 days, 3 hours
and 14 minutes.

Thank you, Mary.
- You're welcome, Dr. Grace.

Thank you, Mary.
- You're welcome, Rocky.

Welcome to Earth.

You are in
the Mental Health Node.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Careful, Rocky.
Rock. Look out below.

The beach is always changing.

You could go
to the same spot every day,

you're always looking
at a different beach.

Trees.

And you climb, and you climb
to the top if you can.

He's so excited about us

both getting to go home.

There's no harm in pretending
for a little while.

Touch the wave, Rock.

Touching the wave.

Is wiping out. Hanging ten.

Hey! Oh!

The Big Apple, baby.

In Three, Apollo trains him.

And in Seven,
he trains Apollo's kid.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Punch, punch, punch, punch.
- Nice!

Adrian!
- Rocky!

What about you, Rock?

What do you miss most

Hmm, my mate.

Wait, what?

You got a mate?
- Yes.

I mean, not that you-- I mean--

What's their name?

Name is:

It's beautiful.

Grace have mate, question?

No.

I mean, I did.

But she thought
I had my head in the clouds

and I didn't really want
to live in the real world.

She was right.

Anyway, now she's with Mark.

Rocky hate Mark.

But enough about me.
You have a mate.

How long you been together?

186.3 years.

It's like the honeymoon phase.

No understand.
- That's a joke, Rock.

That's a long time.

You've been together
a long time.

Is not enough.

- Oh.

You don't sing, huh?

Yeah, I do.

I actually sang in
an Eastern German youth choir.

You're very mysterious.

No, I'm not.

I always wanted to be

Talk too much.
That's my problem.

I didn't mean to bother you.

You don't bother me.

It is such a weird party.

Yáo is singing.

Everyone's so happy.

People are hooking up,

Yeah.

Boring.

What? This is not boring.

Name of planet
Tau Ceti-e is same name

as star plus "E."

Boring.

I guess it could be
a little more evocative.

Astrophage sampler
in position, question?

Yep.

Trays are live,
looking both ways.

It is time go.

It's time go.

What is Grace doing, question?

I'm having a moment.

You know, back on Earth,

if you discover something,
you get to name it.

You were technically
the first one here, so

Yes, name is Medium-Rough
Texture Circle Planet.

'Kay.

Well, if Medium-Rough Texture
Circle Planet was taken,

we'll just have a backup.

Maybe go
with something personal.

Personal.

What's your mate's name again?

Name is

It's okay,
it's okay. I remember.

Need human word for Rocky mate.

Adrian.

Is beautiful.

Well, that's weird.

What?

It's the same amount,
both coming and going.

But if Astrophage
going to Adrian to breed,

there should be more leaving.

It should be double.
It doesn't make sense.

It's either not reproducing

or it's not leaving the planet
for some reason.

Oh, my God.

What? What Grace see?
What Grace see, question?

Life.

This is not just Astrophage.

It's bacteria, it's protozoa.

It's like cells on Erid.

And Earth.

What this mean, question?

Well, if there's a whole
active biosphere

in the Petrova line,

it stands to reason there's
a whole active biosphere

on Adrian, which means

There's life on Adrian.

Oh, Grace! Grace!
- Yeah?

Life. Life is reason.
Life is reason!

Yeah. You said it, buddy.
Life is the reason.

No understand. No understand.

Use your words.
Life's the reason for what?

Life is reason.
- Life is the reason for what?

Life is reason. Life is reason.

- Life is reason what?

Life on Adrian is reason

Astrophage in balance.

Life on Adrian
makes Astrophage die.

Like a predator.

Yes.

That would
keep the population stable.

Grace,
if we bring predator home

our stars not die.

Life is reason star not die.

Why didn't you just say that?

If there is some kind

of microbial predator
on Adrian,

it'll be in the clouds
where Astrophage breeds.

Check. Oh.

The problem is this ship

wasn't built
to go into the atmosphere.

If we get
within five kilometers,

we'll be ripped
into a million pieces

and then we'll burn up.

Game over.

Game not over.

I make chain.
I make long chain.

I put collection device on end.

Oh, yeah, yeah.
Five kilometers of chain. Sure.

- Guard me!
- Like this chain. Look.

You can do that?
- Yes.

Kinda like fishing.

What that?

Whoa, whoa!

Fishing!
Can you believe it?

It could work.
- Thumbs up, baby.

Hello, Earth!

Plan is like fishing.

We get very close
to Adrian atmosphere

and lower collector
into clouds with chain.

Then Grace go on hull
to reel it in.

If ship not at precise
angle and speed, we die!

Example!

We must fly backwards
to keep proper velocity,

even though Grace
still have no pilot experience.

But I've been practicing,
haven't I?

More! No. Left. Be left.
- What?

More left. More left.
Is perfect. No. Wrong.

Erratic maneuver detected.

No.
Wrong way. Wrong angle.

Bad, bad, bad.
Good, good, good.

Good. Bad. Not enough.

Not enough.
Too much! Left, left, left.

I'm barely pulling it!

No, is bad.
Grace Rocky dead.

All Rocky plural,
all Earth, die.

Power off.
- We die. We die.

Rocky has
built predator collector.

Rocky chain spooled and ready.

Grace pilot training
not as good.

What think, Earth?

Hello?

They can't hear you, pal.
- What?

We're not actually talking
to Earth. Earth's too far away.

We just record these messages

and we tell 'em
what we've learned,

and then when we're done,

we'll send them
all back in a probe.

Why not you tell them yourself

when you return home, question?

Yeah.

This is a one-way ticket
for me, pal.

What?

We had enough
Astrophage to get here

but not enough to get back.

So,
what happens Grace, question?

Oh
I got enough food to last me

at least a couple years.

Maybe a couple more
if I stretch it out.

So Grace die, question?

Yeah, once we're done, I'm

I'm gonna die.

Why didn't you tell me?

It slipped my mind.

No.
Grace say Grace go home.

Look.

Listen. Listen. Listen.
- No. No.

I got to meet you.

I got to do
all this amazing stuff.

I'm good.
I've made peace with it.

What mean?
What mean "make peace"?

It means

I know I'm not going home

I know why

and it's okay.

Thumbs up?
- No.

Tiny thumbs up?
- No.

We got stars to save. Okay?

Grace?
- Yeah.

You are

Need word.

W-W-What word do you need?

To risk self to help another.

Uh, dumb.

Grace?

How much Astrophage
you need, question?

Two million kilograms.

I can give.

I go home six years slower.

That's too much.

Rocky watch crew die.

Could not fix.

Grace say Grace will die.

Rocky fix.

Grace go home.

Okay.

I thought
you made peace, question?

I didn't mean
any of that.

That's just something you say.

Thank you.

Get over here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What? What's happening?

A hug.
- Oh! Hmm.

It's usually not something
one does by themselves.

Oh. Wait, I do the same?

Would you just get in here?

How do you know
when the hug is done?

You just feel it.
- Oh.

Are you feeling it now?

Nope.

Oh. Oh, okay. Yeah.

We ran the sampler
simulation again this morning.

Shapiro and DuBois
nailed it again.

Okay. What about the others?

They'll be ready.

I expect so.

They have a great teacher.

Can you
take a compliment please?

No.

It's an order. Okay?

Okay. If it's an order,
I'll take it. Thank you.

Good.

What do you think?

It's pretty impressive.

Yeah.
- You're

You're good.

- Three days, huh?

Yeah.

So, what are you gonna do
for the next 20 years?

You got a plan?

Manual mode activated.

Go.

That's not half bad!

Is full good.

Time go fishing, question?

It's now or never.

Three thousand meters.
- Three thousand.

Probe signal good.

Now comes the fun part.

Grace go out on hull
to retrieve collector?

No fun at all.

It's a joke.

Oh, humor. Confusing.

You gotta be kidding me.

What problem, question?

It's fine. It's just

the sky is slightly on fire.

Words of encouragement.

You can't just say
"words of encouragement."

Words of great encouragement.

Nope.

Did you feel that?
- Yes.

I'm not worried.
Are you worried?

Yes.

Great.

Collector is closed.
Move winch into position.

- Whoa!

How long
is this supposed to take?

Collector should be here soon.

Yeah. It's here.

Amaze, amaze, amaze!

Careful. Collector important.

Yup.

Altitude warning.

Oh, hurry, hurry.

Hurry, hurry.

Grace?

Grace, status update.

Status update.

Grace?

Grace is safe, question?

I'm okay.

Good, good, good.

Come inside
with predator collector now.

Uh

Why not moving, question?

Warning!
Exterior temperature elevated.

Must move now. Go, go.

No, Grace.
Bad idea. Come inside.

I'll be there in a minute.

No, no, no,
no, no. Grace will die.

Can repeat mission.
Can try again later.

I don't think
there is gonna be a later.

Abort, abort, abort.

Grace will die.
No-No-No-No-No-No-No-No-No.

Grace?
- I'm here!

Amaze, amaze, amaze!

- Grace okay, question?

Well, I'm not dead, so yes.

Good, good, good, good.

Where
is that noise coming from?

Noise is from all around.

It's loudest
at port side of bedroom.

The gravity's
tearing the ship apart.

We leave now, question?

We leave now, statement.

Hull pressure warning.

Hull bending
in big room below bedroom.

That's the fuel tanks.

Oh. Bad, bad, bad.
- Well, it's not great.

Bad, bad, bad.
- Warning.

Everybody, calm down.
Calm down!

Try and keep
yourself together, Mary.

Stop engine now?
- Not yet.

We need to get
into orbit or we'll crash!

I have an idea.
First, no crash.

Then, not explode. Deal?

Deal!

Hold on.

Now?

Wait.

Now? Now?

Now!

Did we do it?

Why ship moving, question?

There's a hole in it!

- Hull breach.

Port side fuel compartments
11 and 12.

Grace.
What happening, question?

The fuel
is migrating to Adrian!

Eject bad fuel bay, question?

Yeah.

Jettison port fuel tank
compartment 12. Confirm.

Rocky!

Jettison port fuel tank
compartment 11. Confirm.

Eject other fuel bay.

One nanogram of Astrophage

just isn't enough
to blow up a building.

The quartermaster gave him

one milligram by mistake.

That's a million times
the heat energy

that they're prepared for.

A measuring mistake
killed my entire science team?

It doesn't matter.
We have to launch.

If we miss the orbital window,
it'll set us back months.

Yeah,
but if no one's trained

to do the mission,
it won't matter.

Casualty projections
go up exponentially

if we delay.

We launch on schedule

with a replacement
science officer.

Okay, but

who?

I mean, that

I'm not an astronaut.

I don't need an astronaut.

I need an expert on Astrophage
who's mission-ready.

I'm not ready.

I don't have any training.

You'll pick it up.

I'm not an astronaut!

I put the "not" in astronaut.

I've never done anything--

I've never done a space wa--
I can't even moonwalk!

I haven't done
the whole pool thing.

No, no, no. This is just we do
for the picture,

for social media.

I'm not heroic in any way.

I get sick on an elevator.

Oh, perfect. There's
no elevator on the ship.

I cannot do this.

You're smart.
You'll figure it out.

This might be very hard
for you to understand,

but some people are failures.

Some people don't rise
to the challenge.

You've been present
for every major scientific

or strategic meeting
we've had on the mission.

You're missing out an
important part of the mission

which is the suicide part.

Grace, you'd be
in very cool company.

If you don't go,
you die anyway.

Yeah,
but I die in 30 years with--

"With the rest of us."

You have no immediate family.
You don't even have a dog.

So, just so I'm clear

you're asking me right now

to give up my life.

I am. We all are.

Can I think about this?

You have three hours.

Eye movement detected.

Good morning, Dr. Grace.

I'll watch you sleep, pal.

But, uh

you gotta wake up.

I'm not sure what to do.

Done everything I can think of.

I made him a heat lamp.

And he left me
one last message.

We have our predator.

Right now
I'm calling it "Taumoeba."

And I'm sure
that when you wake up,

you'll have a lot to say
about why that's a bad name

because it's just
an amoeba from Tau Ceti,

and we're putting "Tau"
in front of "amoeba."

But I would argue there's
an elegance to that.

A simplicity.

Let's not fight about it now.

We'll table it and we'll--

I did a test at different
atmospheric variables

and, fun fact, every time
I introduced nitrogen

it died.

And I know
what you're thinking,

"Well, that's terrible
because that's a problem

'cause we need it to survive
in the conditions of Venus."

Obviously, I had to figure out
how to breed

a new strain of
nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba.

And guess what I used?

The breeder tanks that we made
with your xenonite.

And you know what?

Now we're just
a couple of very cool dudes

with their very own strain of
nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba.

Really, all we have to do now

is breed enough
to survive the trip.

And you gotta wake up

because I don't know how to get

your half
of the Taumoeba to Erid.

So

No pressure

but we did make a deal.

Shh.

Grace?

Rock, could you just

give me a little chance please
to sleep a little?

Did we find predator?

No? Is yes.

Amaze, amaze, amaze.

Rocky breeder tank design.

Good job, Rock.

We can go home, statement.

We can go home.

Fist my bump.

Nope.

It's still not right.

I'll do it.
- Good, good, good.

So what we do now, question?

We party.

Wow.

Is special clothing
for celebration.

You're making me think
that I have to, uh, up my game.

What is this?
- If you don't mind.

Rocky get one!
- There you go.

Is good.
- Yeah.

It's not much.
Just a little something.

Your very own laptop.

My portable
Earth thinking-machine!

With all human knowledge.

Thank, thank, thank.

And just one more thing.

Yes?

What this?

It's Earth.

So you can remember me.

Rocky can't forget.

I didn't get you anything.

You gave me everything.

But if I were to
give you something?

It'd be pretty cool
to see your ship.

I understand that you think

I'm the right person
for this mission.

But

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

You'll find a solution.

You are my solution.

My place
is in the classroom.

Stop pretending
this is about your students.

It's so insulting.

Grace, we will lose

a quarter
of the world's population

in the next 30 years.

And that assumes
that the nations of the world

work together to ration food.

Which they won't.

So I'd double the estimate.

And if you would
truly care about the children,

or anyone else for that matter,

you'd get on that ship.

I understand the stakes.

I do.

But I don't have it in me.

My mind is made up.

I'm sorry, but, uh

But you just can't talk me
into it.

I'm sorry.

I'm not trying
to talk you into anything.

I am

trying to make you understand

what I'm about to do next.

Yeah? Please.

Stay calm. Come in.

What is this?

Mission plan will state that

we induced your coma early
to maximize your safety.

You will be remembered
as a hero.

Come on. This is crazy.

I have to do it.
- You're not

Come on. What are you doing?

This may seem
like me betraying you,

but it's actually
me believing in you.

Sure feels like
you're betraying me.

Don't make this harder, please.

Come on, guys.

Let's keep talking about it.

Sit down
and we do it differently.

Yeah, he's running.

No. No.

Carl. I can't do it.

No!

Don't do it!
Don't do it! Don't do it.

You know who you are.

Carl!

You're gonna do great.

I'm trying to think
if there's anything I forgot.

Fuel tank fix okay, question?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
They're working great.

Oh, good.
Happy, happy, happy.

Well

My friend.

Yes, friend?

I'm not sure
what to say, so just gonna

Grace?

No one to watch you sleep.

Yeah.

You are very brave.

Oh, I don't know about that.

You are bravest human
I have ever met.

Hey.

Is joke.
- I know.

I only meet one human,
and is you!

I get it.

It's a good joke.

Good joke.

All right. Well

Goodbye.

No understand word.

Means, uh, see you later.

But I won't see you later.

I know.

How do you say
goodbye back home?

We don't.

Hmm.

We do this.

Journey to Earth

will take 4 years,
2 months and 11 days.

Lava! Lava!

Lava!

Contaminant detected.

Contaminant detected.

Contaminant detected.

Contaminant detected.

Contaminant detected.

There's a leak.

The problem is the xenonite.

The Taumoeba
can get through it.

Probably 'cause we bred it
in the xenonite breeder tanks,

it evolved to escape it.

I was able to stop it

before it ate all the
Astrophage on the ship.

Rocky's ship
is built of xenonite.

The Taumoeba will already
be in his fuel lines.

And he won't be able
to find the leak

because the leak
is the ship itself.

He'll be without any fuel.
Stranded.

His life support systems
will fail.

And if that doesn't kill him,
the radiation sickness will.

He's looking at a long

slow

painful death

alone.

I can't do both.

I can go home

or I can save Rocky.

I've sent you detailed logs
of all of our findings.

And enough Taumoeba for you

to start
your very own Taumoeba farm.

At least I never have
to hear you say,

"I told you so."

Even though you were right.

Rocky!

Hey!

Come on, Rock!

I'm here, buddy.

Earth, Rocky.

Rocky, Earth.

Hello, Earth. I am Rocky.

I am Rocky from Erid.

I am not Rocky from movie.
No, no, no, no.

I'm pretty sure they know that.

I've left you detailed logs
of all of our findings

and I threw in a little
something else just for fun.

Hopefully it all makes sense.

And if not

You're smart.

You'll figure it out.

This is
Dr. Captain Ryland Grace

reporting from the Hail Mary.

As the Eridians say

Let's begin.

Good morning, Armando.

You shouldn't have.

That's a noogie.

I'm coming!

Why you always
gotta be so early?

Yeah. I know,
and I ignored you.

Yeah. Okay.

Why? I thought
this was a safe neighborhood.

Okay. It's just,
Armando likes the fresh air.

Can we talk about the water
temperature a little bit?

It's amazing.

Just that
you've done it at all.

Very cold.

And, before, it was boiling.

Is there an in between?

Please tell
the biodome illumination team

that it's perfect now.

Oh, no, this is

You know
I'm a sucker for the fog.

Yeah, pal.

Can I think about it?

Good morning, class.

Okay.
Everyone take their seats.

Let's wake up.

Who can tell me
the speed of light?
