Looking
at this geological model,

the sheared host rock sequences
were observed

with significant high grades.

Unfortunately,
these occur in spots

of extremely delicate fractures
and fissures.

In short, while the nature
of this deposit

does have the potential
for great bearings,

it should be noted

that it also shows a high level
of inaccessibility.

I detailed the numbers
on page 150.

Tell you what.

I'm just
gonna pitch this fucker myself.

But you...
you didn't even read the report.

No, I got the gist.

The gist?

Inaccessibility?

Really?

Potential.

Hey, potential
is the only fuckin' word

in this document that matters.

It's a big risk, we get it,

but think
about the potential returns.

Okay, but I could... I mean,

I think I should come with you
and...

No, no, no.

In fact, you just hang back here

and I'll give you a buzz
if I need to throw

some more geology numbers
at them.

Right?

Don't you want the report?

I can't sell bad news.

Hey man, it's not a big deal,

but today is garbage day,
not recycling.

That's three weeks in a row

and it's just
gonna pile up again.

"Conversations
that don't matter

take away from conversations
that can matter."

That's Rumi.

Yeah,
that's definitely not Rumi.

Pretty sure it's Rumi, mate.

I'll loan you one of his books.

I got a couple up
in our bedroom.

How's the job hunt going?

Mate, you really...

...need to read...

...Rumi.

Hey, what are you up to tonight?

Just work, why?

We'd really appreciate it

if you could keep
absolute silence.

We're doing
this healing meditation.

Super quiet.

Super key, mate.

Well, I'll just be working so...

Hold up.

Let me hop inside
and get you that book.

- No.
- Stay here.

Whoa-wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

What?

We don't even have
any curtains up.

So?

Let them all watch.

C... can we just go upstairs?

Damon!

- Find any treasure?
- Jesus Christ!

No, just, just a bottle cap.

Can you take that out
of my eyes,

it's kind of hurting.

Right, sorry.

If you find
another star like this,

will you let me know?

Okay.

How do I contact you
if I find it?

Ooh, that might be tough.

I live in space.

Kidding!

Kidding.

Though technically,
we all live in space,

so not crazy.

Here, I'll write down my number
for you.

Speaking of crazy,
check that out, treasure hunter.

Okay.

Red Rover, Red Rover,
I'm calling you over!

Get it?

Got that report handy?

Yeah.

How'd the presentation go?

Not good.

Not good.

I mean, I was fuckin' great.

Right, I had 'em.

And after a few drinks,
at the peelers I let slipped

that inaccessibility line
of yours and well,

now they want
to see some more numbers.

Okay, that's not a problem.

We can probably just...

You remember when I poached you
from Rocky Gold's survey team?

You were the man.

- You remember that?
- Yeah.

You were
gonna be integral around here.

You know, you were gonna help me
take things to the next level.

My fuckin' launching pad.

Now, I gotta let you go.

Rebecca in HR, she's gonna float
some severance numbers by you

and they aren't great,
so don't even...

- Fired?
- I know, I know.

It sucks.

It sucks.

- Wait...
- Hey.

- Hold on.
- Get out there, right?

Seize the fucking carpe diem
by the... the fuckin' balls

and throw that shit to the wind
like you did when I met you!

Right?

Brad?

Thanks for this, bud.

You're invaluable.

I mean, bud,
you were invaluable?

Don't forget that.

Exploration is essential
for human survival.

The Single Planet Species
cannot survive forever.

Just as we as a species left
to explore

and settle on other continents,

the Red Rover mission aims
to expand on this

human need for exploration,
for new lands,

new horizons.

And yes, it is a one-way trip.

Those going
won't be coming back.

But imagine human settlement
on the planet Mars.

We're looking for strong
and intelligent applicants

willing to enrich their lives
by giving them over

to the greatest adventure
in the history of our species.

The technology has evolved.

It is not a matter of how.

It's only a question of when.

And really, the only question
that truly remains is who.

Will you be taking that step
with us?

Damon?

You in there?

Damon.

I need to talk to you
about last night.

I really need to talk to you.

It just felt
like we're in our own little...

I was in my own little universe.

I have been in love with you...

I asked you to come with me.

Ever since that first time...

Why didn't you come with me?

Houston, come in, Houston.

Jesus Christ!

- Man, where were you there?
- Nowhere.

I was just thinking.

Fries!

I'm so hungry.

Man, these are good.

Sorry, I'm being rude.

Hello, Damon,
how was your day?

Um...

My God!

Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you!

My dad got me these.

I owe you big time.

I know this
doesn't quite cover it, but...

...hot off the press.

So did you check out
that Mars thing?

Yeah, I um...

- Are you gonna do it?
- No.

I'm just doing the promo thing
as a temp gig

while I figure everything out
and you know, um,

I'd be useless up there anyway.

Anyway, I should to go.

I've got a date
with a right swipe

I meant to swipe left.

See ya.

Hey, do you live around here
or...

Yeah, just up the road.

Maybe I'll see you around.

Okay.

Goodnight, treasure hunter.

I hope you find
what you're looking for.

Thank you.

Damon?

Yeah?

Hi.

Hi.

Did you find anything?

Nothing important.

Look, I I need to talk
to you about last night.

Yes, that was weird obviously.

And it wasn't
what it looked like.

Yeah.

It was really awkward
and... and messed up.

Yes, for sure, and I...

I just want you to know
I wasn't spying

or anything like that.

I... I was just walking past
and I happened to see...

Anyways, I'm sorry.

Won't... won't happen again.

Mark and I were talking
last night...

About it and...

Yes, also apologize
to Mark for me, please.

Or I'll do it next time
I see him.

- Whatever is easy to...
- Yeah, Mark...

he just told me
that you told him

that you weren't gonna be home...

- I didn't say that.
- Because...

No, no, no,
I said I was gonna be working.

Yeah, but... but because
if I would have had known that

then I would...
You know what?

- That's not the point.
- But I didn't say that.

- I... I...
- Okay, Damon, stop, I...

I don't wanna
get side-tracked here.

I think that it's best
that we buy you out.

Buy me out?

Of the house.

I think it's time.

But it's my house.

It's our house.

Was our house.

Exactly,
and I agreed to move down here

without a fight.

I don't wanna fight
with you now!

It's just Mark and I think
that this is

So that's thing now,
Mark and I?

- Damon.
- So what?

You're just gonna kick me out?

Sure, why not?
Everybody else is.

"We don't need this anymore.

Let's just toss it out
like a fucking dirty...

Fucking dirty m... mattress."

I'm sorry.

Today's been...

So fucked.

Brad called me.

He told me to be good
to you tonight.

So I guess he doesn't know
that we're...

Hey, this is an opportunity,
right?

Without a job,
it's not like you can pay

for half the mortgage.

Right?

Thanks for the silver lining.

No, it's true.

With the money from us
you can just start over.

You've nothing holding you back.

You can go on adventures.

Explore.

Like you used to.

Think about it.

Congratulations on taking
your first step

towards the red planet.

Red Rover invites you to join us in this great adventure.

In round 1,
all candidates must complete

an online application,
submit two reference letters

and a one-minute video
that explains

why we should choose you.

Hello.

I am Cody Don Reeder

and I'd be an excellent person
to send to Mars.

Hi.

Okay, I'm Maya
and my friends tell me

that I like plants more
than I like people.

Hi, I'm Ryan.

I would like to go to Mars
for a dream.

Hi, my name is Damon.

Hey, hi.

What?

So I'm a nuclear engineer
on submarines

and aircraft carriers.

And I'm in the middle
of a transfer

to become
an FAT aerospace engineer.

As a military journalist,

it's my job
to tell the Navy's story.

I wanna be a part
of the Mars story.

Also important I'm a botanist,

so I think you'll need somebody
like me up there to...

To help grow this.

I'm 33 years old
and I live near the beach

where I like to
look for things on the beach.

To colonize Mars,

you need people
with a strong will,

mind, and body.

I do push-ups

and I'm getting back
into long-distance running.

I think on the surface of Mars,

I could probably nail
a really epic slam dunk.

In round 2,

only 20 applicants
who pass a rigorous interview

and vetting process
will be invited to New Mexico.

Here, participants
will live together

in one of our replica
space stations,

competing
in various training challenges

broadcast
to a global audience.

Fuck.

Hi, I'm Gary.

Red Rover needs people
who can build

with limited resources.

I believe I hold the key.

I think every person
who goes up,

is going to have to be patient,
and tolerant,

and compassionate, and kind.

I think with the right people,

we can really do
some good up there.

You see, on Mars,
you may need to dig a hole

to survive the radiation.

And I'm your man.

In our final round,

only four participants
will be selected

for the first human mission
to Mars.

The time has come.

Red Rover,
we're calling you over.

This is so weird,
I'm listening to you right now.

Hey!

Whatcha doin'?

What?

Sorry.

Whatcha doin'?

I'm out for a run.

I'm just getting' in shape.

Back in shape.

Better shape for the...
for the Mars thing.

Shut up!
You're doing that?

Yeah.

That's awesome.
Congratulations.

- Thank you.
- We should celebrate.

Well, I'm kind of
in the middle of a...

- Here.
- Just... okay.

I owe you fries anyway.

Yeah,
I probably shouldn't be eating...

- Shut up.
- Fries.

Save a special spot,
so no one takes it.

Do you want... do you want me
to put this away?

Hi there,
my name is Damon Pierce.

I'm 33 years old
and I'm from Toronto, Canada.

I think I would be
a great candidate

for Red Rover,
because I am a geologist

and I work very well
with others um,

for... with building large
infrastructure...

There's more.

Actually,
it's mostly about geology.

That...

...was terrible.

My name is Damon Pierce.

Um, please pick me.

Crap!

You just need
to be more natural.

Right.

Yeah, okay.

How do I do that?

Just be yourself.

And get out of that dungeon

or wherever it was
you shot that.

It feels like a hostage video.

- Jesus!
- Scary.

Okay.

You know, maybe you're right.

Maybe this was a mistake.

No, no!

You just need someone
to help you with...

- That's it!
- What?

That's how I'll pay you back
for finding my earring.

I help you make this video.

- Seriously?
- Yeah.

Alright.

And I'll only hand out
Red Rover flyers

to old people from now on.

Cut out the competition.

That's a good idea.

- Yeah.
- I like that.

- You're sly.
- Yeah.

Alright, see you later, Marvin.

It's... actually it's Damon.

The Martian?

Yeah, right.

Well, I'll be sure
to bring my Illudium Q-36

explosive space modulator.

That was dumb.
That was...

That was amazing.

This... that was
not a good impression at all.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

Okay.

Damon?

Hello?

Damon?

Hey, guys.

Um...

How you doin'?

Good.

What are you doing?

Looks like a type
of hyperbolic sleep chamber.

No, I am building
a replica landing pod

to scale.

Same thing, basically.

Why?

You wanna go to Mars?

Well, you always told me
we should have travelled more.

Damon, this is ridiculous.

Well, I don't think so.

I think I have a good shot.

They're looking
for scientist types.

Yeah, I've heard about this.

Well, it's clearly a scam.

Who's Phoebe?

The woman
that's probably scamming him.

Why the sudden interest
in my wellbeing?

We just came by, because
we wanted to drop this off.

It is more than a fair offer,
so take a look at it

and then give it back
at your earliest convenience.

Yeah, I'll look at it.

Can you do something for me?

Sure.

I need a reference letter.

They need a professional one
and a personal one.

And I figured you've known me
the longest, so...

I don't know,
I don't like this.

Well, sometimes we need
to do the things we don't like.

Don't we?

Mark.

So this is how you go
into space?

Well, Mars specifically.

What about Bea?

Well, she's...

- yeah, she's supportive.
- So what?

You would just
take off for Mars, you know,

and leave her here,
all by lonesome?

A man has gotta do
what a man's gotta do.

Carpe Diem, right?

I gotta throw my balls
into the wind, you know?

I'm sold, yeah.

Where do I sign?

Right at the bottom.

Hey, if this thing
does happen for you,

you think maybe we can
sponsor you?

You know, get a sticker
on your helmet or somethin'

like one of those
race car drivers?

- Yes.
- Yeah?

Sure.

There you go, buddy.

Okay.
Thank you.

- I appreciate this.
- Good luck.

Yeah.

And action!

Hi, my name is Damon Pierce

and I'm a geologist.

God!

Wow.

Okay.

The talking
is probably too much,

we'll do it without talking
and maybe put,

like a voiceover thing
or something, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Yeah,
it's probably just the talking.

- Let's do it.
- Ready?

Okay.

Action!

Pull, pull, pull,
pull!

I think it's the screaming.

Are you being serious?

Well, I'd like to see you try.

Step aside.

Yes!

What?

Yes, yes.

Well, okay,

you're like a third
of my weight.

Of course, you can do it.

Okay, hop on.

What do you mean?

Grab my waist, hop on.

- Come on.
- This...

Come on, I'm gonna lift you up.

Come on.

This is not gonna work.

Hold on.

Okay, that's really hard.

Told you it wouldn't work.

I thought it would.

Next thing.

Okay.

Your helmet.

Thank you.

You wanna wear it?

Yeah, you do.

Okay, ready?

That's good, that's good,
that's good, that's good.

This is nice.

You're gonna film over
on that thing?

- Mmhmm.
- Here?

Thank God, water.

This sand's making me
so thirsty.

What are you doing?

Movie magic.

So you look like you're sweaty.

You want me to skip rope?

I do.

- Okay, over there.
- Okay.

Rolling!

- What, right now?
- Yeah.

Is that action?

Yeah.

Okay.

Wait, wait, wait.

- You're turning it.
- No, I got it.

- I got it.
- Hey.

Good one!
Okay.

Okay.

Okay, you know what?

Okay.

You know what?

You're not a jump-rope guy.

That's okay.

Which is weird, because I have
two older sisters.

I guess I'm more
of a double-dutch kinda guy.

See, that's good.

Okay,
give me some jumping jacks.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Action.

Just jumping?

Tell us about yourself.

Hi, my name is Damon Pierce

and I'm a geologist
from Toronto...

No, no, no, no, no,
not that stuff.

Nobody cares.

Yeah, but a geologist
is essential for assessing...

Okay, cut, cut, cut!

Look,
I get that you're very smart,

you know a lot about rocks
and stuff.

Well, more than just rocks.

I mean I know
about like where to find rocks.

Nobody cares.

This isn't actually
about going to Mars,

it's about bein' on TV,
so you gotta...

Open up and be likable.

Well, I'm tryin'.

I know.

Tell us about your sisters.

Are you gonna miss them?

That sort of thing.

I'm not really close
to my family.

- It's weird, I know.
- Okay.

No, it's okay.

Um, well,
why do you wanna go to Mars?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

I don't know.

So why not take off
like anywhere?

You could go to another city,
another country.

I j... I...

I just feel
like that wouldn't be

far enough away.

- What?
- Do you know what?

I think we...
we got some good stuff.

Really?
I mean I can keep goin'.

No, do you know what?

It's getting dark
and the light's bad.

We'll get more tomorrow.

Well, tomorrow, you really just
wanna meet here or...

Do you know what?

Put your deets in my phone.

I'll come get you.

I've got a plan.

Mmhmm, okay.

Um, it's
the basement apartment.

Cool.

I'll be by 6:00.

Okay, sounds good.

Yeah.

Hey, douchebag!

What?
Are you serious?

I don't wanna go by myself.

It sucks.

You... you suck.

Okay, bye.

Damon,
what are you doin' tonight?

Nothing, no.

Do you wanna come with me
to a thing?

I I don't really...
don't do that.

Well, you've never gone
to Mars either.

It's the new you.

Yeah, but I don't know.

I look ridiculous.

You look ridiculous?

Look at me!

You look hot.

Alright, it's settled.

ars is truly a fantastic place- .

The vistas
are absolutely unbelievable.

I mean there is just a tremendous variation in...

In the... in the land
and the geology.

And that provides a lot
of exciting opportunities

for the scientists.

So it really looks like back in Mars's early history

based on the chemistry and based on what we're finding

in the rocks that Mars could've had a number

of habitable environments in it.

And so Mars may also have
been an environment

from which is the
climate changed,

which it did
in a significant way,

losing most of its water
in a lot of its atmosphere,

then life could have
gone underground.

God!

Marvin.

How the hell did you get here?

Uber.

Your address is in my phone
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I'm in your dungeon.

It was a lousy thing to do,
by the way.

I'm sorry, what?

Don't do that to people.

You don't leave people
like that.

It's shitty.

Sorry.

Thank you.

I have to pee.

The bathroom's just
through there.

Thank you.

Don't listen.

Okay.

Wow.

Your neighbors
are having a good time.

She's fakin' it, though.

I can tell.

Do you want me to call you a...
a cab or walk you home?

Houston, we have a problem.

Marvin is going to leave.

Repeat,
Marvin is going to leave.

Over.

- Hi.
- Hi, there.

Good morning.

Whoa, whoa, sorry.

Sorry.

Damon?

Morning.

Hi.

I just re-seeded out here,
mate.

Yeah.

Yeah, so just be careful
on the grass, 'cause it...

It might still be poisonous.

I sprayed shit everywhere.

Okay...

- Oops...
- So who's...

Hi.
I'm Phoebe.

You're Phoebe.

Yep.

I am Phoebe.

That's...

I'm Beatrice.

I am...

She's my ex.

I'm Mark.

Yes, and that is Mark.

He's...

Shacked up
with this little lady.

Hookin' up with my little lady.

That's interesting.

Yeah, so um, we'll just
let you guys get back to it.

Namaste.

Namaste.

So this situation's
a little fucked up.

So do you want a coffee or...

No, I'm cool.

Y... you sure?

Yeah, I gotta get home
and shower and shit.

You could shower and...
and shit here if you want.

- Sorry?
- Nothing.

Okay, so that's your ex?

Yeah, yeah.

And you live in her basement?

Currently, yeah.

But it's cool.

We... we made it cool.

Sure.

And the Aussie dude is...

Her... I guess her boyfriend.

So those sounds
we heard last night...

You ask a lot of questions.

Wow! That's the stuff
we should have been filming.

I... I just... I... I...

I moved down here
like about a year ago

this is just a temporary thing
until we sort it out

whose stuff was what, so...
and then you see?

Yeah.

Well,
we've gotta get you to Mars.

I'll see you at 6:00.

Right, yeah.

See ya.

See you then.

How we're gonna get there is
a tough, tough problem.

Um, we would need a ship
about the size

of the international
space station.

And then
we have to accelerate that

clear out
of the Earth's gravity well

and have to fly through space
for nine months

to arrive at Mars.

And then when you get to Mars,

you can't just plan the flight
and come home

the way we did on the moon.

The moon is
always circling the Earth

and you can come home
anytime you want.

If you land on Mars
and take right back off again

and try to come back
to the Earth,

you are likely to arrive
at the Earth's distance

from the sun while the Earth is on the other side of the sun.

And then that's not so good.

Hey.

Hi.

What the fuck we doin' here,
pal?

Well, I figured I'd see
if I can hack it

living in a space pod.

Mmhmm.

This thing to scale?

Looks like a tight fit for two.

You know,
how the fuck you're supposed

to populate Mars in this?

You and Bea
test this thing out yet?

About that.

We broke up about a year ago.

She's um...
she tryin' to buy me out.

I can't say
I didn't see that coming.

Still...

Is there a reason
you've come here today, Brad?

Remember that
sponsorship thing that

we agreed on?

Well, I'm thinkin' bigger.

Check this out.

Ryugu or rura... ryugu, rup.

RY... it's fuckin'...
it's Japanese.

It's an astroid.

Estimates have got this thing
at $95 billion, right,

in nickel, iron, cobalt,
and... and water,

so we could really fuck out
of that thing.

There's another one, Davida.

Some estimates have
got this fucker

at $100 trillion, right?

Trillion, Damon.

Davida.

Space mining?

Yeah.

I mean these...
we gotta get in now, right?

You and me, we gotta be first.

- So...
- Read it!

Read it, give me your thoughts,
right?

Maybe I could bring you back on
as a partner, right?

- Junior partner?
- Brad...

Damon, look,
don't get me wrong.

I love this, okay?

I love this new you,
but come on,

it's not like you actually have
a shot at this, right?

I mean they got over...
what 200,000 applicants?

Gonna pick you?

Come on, start thinkin'
about livin' the good life

down here with the rest of us,
okay?

And fuck Bea, right?

You can buy her out.

You could buy
this whole fuckin' block.

We're talkin' big lieu here,
okay?

Read this thing.

Somebody's gotta read that.

I gotta jet.

You doin' a good job there, pal.

I love it.

Let's hit it, Marvin!

I didn't know you had a car.

Yeah.

Just got it today.

Yeah!

When my Red Rover promo contract
is up,

I'm gonna load this thing up
with my CDs,

and my guitar,
and I'm gonna tour it

across the country.

like a modern-day Willy Guthrie.

- Woody.
- The folk guy.

Woody.

So where are you taking me?

So we are about
to embark on something

I like to call
"simulation training."

Damon, where are you going?

What?

How do you feel watching it?

Are you nervous?

It goes pretty fast.

Damon.

Right over us.

There's fries
on the ground over here.

Not mine.

Not yours.

So what?

This is your plan?

You're just gonna live out
of your car

and see
where the music takes you?

Sorry,
Mr. I Live in my Ex's basement

and listen to her cum
every night.

My God!

First of all,
it's half my basement.

Okay, sure.

Second of all, you said
she was faking it and I...

- She is... yeah.
- Totally believe you.

- She is faking it.
- And third,

I mean here I am trying
to take off to Mars,

so what you are doing
sounds totally reasonable

and you know, doable.

So I say go for it.

Hell, why stop there?

Why don't you try to go Mars?

Um, no, it's not for me.

But it's for me?

Like how?

I... I'm just not done here yet,
you know?

I mean like you seem done,
like done, fucking done.

Hit the escape button
and start it over kind of done.

Yeah, yeah, okay.

And... well, I still have
like a shit ton I need to do

and understand here and I...
I'm just not done.

I mean like I would accept dying
or whatever,

but I mean in terms of having
everything figured out here,

I'm not ready.

But I'm good to go?

Look, it's happening.

Like it is happening.

Humans are going to Mars

and part of me
is fucking terrified

of what we're gonna be
doing up there.

I mean like we've been here
for what?

The blink of an eye

and look at how badly
we're fucking it out here.

- And what?
- Wha... what am I gonna do?

You're gonna offset the crazy.

- You're gonna make sure that...
- Offset the... how...

Things start out
on the right foot.

How am I gonna offset the crazy
when I feel like I'm crazy

for even thinking about this?

Which I'm only really starting
to do now

- and that's fucking crazy.
- It is!

Yes, it's fucking crazy.

But look, I s...
don't get me wrong.

I... like I would love to do it.

I try to picture the things
you're gonna see

and experience up there,
it's mind-blowing.

But for me, I think
I'd always feel that...

that unresolved thing back here.

I... I need to get things right
here first.

How is this?
This more your speed?

Yes, see?
This is nice.

This is perfect.

I can even see
a couple of stars.

Yeah.

You said
your dad gave you those?

Yeah.

Are you guys close?

Yeah.

He died actually.

Not that long ago.

Around the same time
as my break up actually,

so that was fun.

My God, I'm sorry.

Yeah.

When I was little,
I was obsessed with the stars.

And I always used to get him

to tell me the story of how
the stars fell into the sky.

It's a coyote story.

So all the holy people
had placed the stars

on a buckskin
that covered the Earth

and they planned
to arrange the stars

in key places,
but they couldn't agree on how.

Then the coyote showed up
and became impatient.

He grabbed the buckskin
and shook it,

scattering the stars
in no particular order,

just so.

He always used to call me
his little coyote.

Yeah, I could see that.

These stories
must seem pretty silly to you

being a science guy and all.

No, they're beautiful.

I miss him a lot.

Sorry, that's a reflex.

No.

No, I like it.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Okay.

- Sorry.
- Yeah.

- Take these off.
- Yeah.

You're shaking.

Yeah, I'm nervous.
I know, I'm sorry.

Are you sure you wanna do this?

I feel like I'm flying.

It's a good thing.

Yeah, it's amazing.

I don't think
I wanna leave anymore.

Phoebe?

You seen Phoebe?

Hey,
did you see Phoebe this morning?

Mate, no.

Hey, it's me, Damon.

I didn't see where you went
to this morning,

so just... I don't know.

I didn't see a note
or anything.

Maybe it fell of the desk,
but just give me a call

and let me know you're okay.

Phoebe!

Hey.

Hey.

What's up?

I don't know, I was just...

I mean do I have to say it?

What?

The other night
when you came over

and said it wasn't cool
to just leave someone.

Well, I was pretty drunk, Damon.

Okay, but what does that have
to do with anything?

Look, I really have to do this,

so unless you're gonna help
me...

Yeah, of course,
I'm gonna help.

Cool, can you
get the stores up on Queen?

Can you tell me what's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

Did I do something?

For fuck's sake, Damon.

Well, you couldn't even text me
or call?

Damon, you're not my boyfriend.

I mean we hooked up
and it's cool, but like...

Why are you doing this?

I'm not doing anything.

I thought last night was fun.

Yeah.

Look, I'm a fantasy.

I'm like Mars.

A distraction from your ex.

That's not true.

Okay.

Look, you're a great guy.

Go do great things and...
and let me do my thing,

'cause I don't want someone
just following me around.

I'm... I'm not gonna f...
follow you.

Look.

I need you
to just leave me alone.

Okay?

Can you do that?

Yeah.

Hey mate.

You get a chance
to look over those papers?

Fuck off, Mark.

What's eating your ass?

You don't think I know
what you're doing?

Mate, I'm not doin' anything.

Anything I wanted to do,
I already did.

What's the matter?

That girl Phoebe not satisfied
with you either?

What the fuck you doin', mate?

Fuck you, you fucking fucker.

Why don't you go fuck
someone else's girlfriend?

It's because I'm too tired
from always fucking yours.

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey!
Hey!

Go inside.

- Go inside!
- He came at me!

- It was self-defense!
- I don't care.

Go inside.

Hey, since you don't have a job,

you obviously
can't afford a shirt,

so why don't you just
fucking take mine?

I already got everything
I want from you.

Are you okay?

Just leave me.

Hey.

Just tilt your head back.

You guys are dumb.

I don't get it.

Why him?

I wanna say I don't know,
but that would be a lie.

Sometimes people
just want something different.

Something exciting
and I guess that's what he was.

Sorry.

Did you ever love me?

Did you even read the letter
that I wrote for you?

The one for Red Rover?

I sent it in an email.

- No.
- Well...

Sorry, I've been busy.

Okay, what's your password?

I never changed it.

Okay.

Here we go.

"I've known Damon
since high school

where we met,
became inseparable,

and began sharing
our lives together.

He's good
and he made me better.

In the nearly 20 years
of knowing him,

there is one thing
that has never changed.

I can count on him.

Damon is a dedicated
and loving man,

and when he commits
to something,

he commits for life.

And considering what Red Rover
is asking of applicants,

you would be lucky to have him.

Anyone would.

So take him in and don't let go.

Yours, Beatrice."

Did you really mean all that?

Of course.

Whoa!

My God.
Damon, no.

I asked you to come with me.

Why didn't you come with me?

Will you just say something?

Fuck you!

I'm a fantasy.

I'm like Mars.

I wanted you to do something.

I need you
to just leave me alone.

Can you do that for me?

Phoebe?

Hello, this is Gopi Subramaniam from Red Rover.

- Is this Damon Pierce?
-Yes.

Mr. Pierce,
I'm calling to inform you

that out of over
200,000 applicants

- you have been pre-selected.
-Um...

Congratulations, you've made it to the next round.

Excuse me? I d...
I didn't even end up applying.

Your video was one
of the most viewed and liked,

and in the shortest amount
of time.

Barely 12 hours.

- Viral, I believe...
-Seriously?

I... I didn't make a video.

We'll be conducting
one-on-one interviews

in your area

- in about two weeks.
- Okay.

So hopefully this is
just the beginning.

Hi, I'm Phoebe and I'm here
to talk about Damon,

because... well, to be honest,
he's not the greatest

at talking about himself.

For example...

Hi, my name is Damon.

I'm...

Hi, my name is Damon.

What?

See what I mean?

Now, I have to be quiet,

because Damon is actually
asleep right now in that pod.

And he built that pod
to practice

what it would be like living
on Mars.

He was considering not applying,

but I think that would
have been a mistake.

I think you guys need him.

He's committed.

Dude lives
in his ex-girlfriend's basement.

No joke.

How's that for loyalty?

He's smart.
I mean he's a geologist.

Pretty sure you'll need that.

He may not be
the strongest person...

Hi, my name is Damon Pierce.

My God.

But his heart
is probably the strongest

I've ever been around.

I think this new world
you're trying to build out there

deserves him more than I do,

because if you pick him,
that world will be good.

Hi, I'm Phoebe and I'm here
to talk about Damon,

because... well, to be honest,
he's not the greatest

at talking about himself.

For example...

So I took a look at your file,
but I found something

that I think might be
a little bit more interesting.

Lithium?

Yeah, you want to talk
about a growing market?

How about the key metal

that goes into making
an electric car battery.

Electric car?

God,
why can't we just be men again?

Right?

It's called "evolution", Brad.

Damon, come on.

What?

I see what you're doin' here,
okay?

It's nice.

Hell, it's even profitable
you know,

but not at the same numbers
as my space thing, right?

Well, yeah, I realize that...

W... with Mars, what do you think
you're a part of?

What do you think that is?

It's an opportunity to explore.

We're colonizing it

- for Christ sakes.
- Come on.

I don't think it's strictly
about colonizing.

We're already doing scans
of the planet

to see what's in it.

Hey, why do you think that is?

To expand
our pleasant benign species

and improve the galaxy?

I mean yeah, that's the face
of NASA and space travel,

but that's
not the reality behind it.

It's business, okay?

It's resources.

Trust me, you're gonna hit Mars

and the rest of the planets are
gonna fall like fuckin' dominos.

Space mining,
it isn't crazy, it's the future.

Well, I think we can do better.

Okay,
you wanna change the world,

it's not gonna happen, right?

It's just gonna be the same shit
in a different place

and probably sped up 100 times
to what we know now, right?

- So let's take advantage.
- Well, I don't know.

I think that's small-minded,
short-sighted thinking.

Surveys of Mars, right?

It's already begun!

Alright, you wanna talk small?

Let me ask you something.

When you step on an ant,
do you feel bad

or you even notice?

Now,
because that's how small we are

in the grand scheme of things.

Hell, we're smaller.

We walk around talkin'
about destroying the planet.

I got news for you, buddy,
the planet's dyin' anyway.

All things do.

God, we're so self-involved.

But here's the thing.

We're nothin', right?

We are nothin'.

You know what?

It's okay.

Does it really matter?

Not really.

This gasp we call "life",

we should get the things
we want?

We should enjoy the things
we enjoy,

because otherwise,
what are we doin' here, right?

Doesn't make us bad humans.

It just makes us human.

Red Rover?

Yeah.

So you ready for the world
to see you?

Well...

We still have to get
to the next step for that.

You know, they're
live-streaming the interviews

around the world.

Really?

Yeah, did you...

Did you not read
the email package?

My God.

Do you want some coffee?

Probably not a great idea.

It'll make me very sweaty.

Also,
I'm a bit of a coffee snob.

Well, I hear there are
great cafes on Mars,

so you'll be fine.

I'm Maya, by the way.

- Damon.
- Nice to meet you.

I mean I know who you are.

I watched your video.

I watched everybody's video.

I'm a little OCD.

Yours was great.

Yeah,
I know why they picked you.

Thank you.

Also, you're a geologist,
which is great.

Where's the underground water
please?

Check.

What do you do?

I'm a botanist.

Yeah, you're the botanist.

No, I watched your video,
it was good.

Gonna need you.

Well, it's nice to feel needed.

Damn it!

Wow, he looked like...

Yeah,
maybe that was his happy face.

Damon Pierce?

You're up.

Thank you.

Hey, aren't you going to tell me
to break a leg or something?

You're more likely
to break a few hearts.

Hi, I'm Phoebe and I'm here
to talk about Damon,

because... well, to be honest,
he's not...

Hi.

Thank you.

Damon.

Welcome.

Gopi Subramaniam.

- Hi.
- Please, have a seat.

Thank you.

Damon, firstly,
I want to congratulate you

for advancing to this round.

Thank you.

As you may be aware we are
looking for people

who have experience
in extreme working conditions

and analysis,

but also someone
who plays well with others.

Right, of course.

Couple that with

the overwhelming response
to your video

and you quickly became
one of the favorites.

People loved you.

I think they connected
with your broken man

trying to fix himself,
"that could be me" thing,

which was great.

Awesome.

So Damon,

this is an opportunity for us
to get to know you

a little better.

For us and the people watching.

Great.

So Damon,

now that you've
reached this point,

how do you feel
about the potential mission?

How do you mean?

Your thoughts.

Your feelings.

Your personal situation.

Your fears.

I'm...

I... I'm sorry, I don't quite
understand what you're asking.

Well, you are
potentially going away,

never to return.

Your life as you know it,
will no longer exist

for you or for the people
you leave behind.

Yeah, that's...

That's not a concern.

Perhaps, you have some questions
for us.

No, I don't think so.

No.

Okay.

We'll be in touch.

No, you know what?
I do.

I do have a question.

Please.

What exactly
will we be doing up there?

Well, the four people chosen
for the reality show

will start their training...

No, no, I know all that.

But what is it we'll be doing?

We came here wanting
to start over.

To... to be new.

Or at least that's what
we told ourselves

when the truth is
we weren't starting over,

we were just expanding
on the old.

And I'm worried that that's
what Mars is gonna become.

I...

I just... I... I'm hoping
that whoever does get picked

that they are rooted
in something more meaningful

than just hitting
the escape button on Earth.

I hope that Red Rover
is about being truly new,

because that would be something.

Our best human foot forward.

Otherwise, we have no right
to go up there.

Not you, not you.

Certainly not me.

No.

What are we doing?

You just had to be there
you know, to feel it.

I can't believe you got
to experience that,

I'm so jealous.

I looked it up on the internet,
it looks incredible.

Apparently,
it's because of dinoflagellates.

They're the reason...
they like warn of predators or...

Like they light up.

Basically,
that's why they light up.

It just felt like we were
in our own little...

I was in my own little universe.

See?

That's what I love about us.

Even when we're apart,
we're still together.

Which is why I have
a very special question for you.

Damon, I actually wanted
to talk to you about...

- Beatrice...
- Something...

I have been in love with you

ever since that first time
you sat in front of me

in Mrs. Smith's English class.

One of the greatest nights
of my life

was our prom night
when we finally...

- Damon.
- Right.

I'll just get to it.

Beatrice.

Having you gone this past month
has reminded me...

How much I want you
in my life forever and ever.

And I know you said our love
doesn't need anything formal,

but...

- Well...
- Stop, stop, Damon.

Fine.

It's okay.

Hey.

I met someone.

I didn't mean to.

Um, we just had this connection.

He was in Melbourne
and his name is Mark.

God.

Damon, will you just stand up,
please?

Just stand up.

Okay, I'm so, so, so, so, so,
sorry.

Just... I just...
why didn't you come with me?

I asked you to come with me.

Will you just say something?

Why?

I wanted you do to something.

I went to your mom's.

I got this ring re-set.

This is
your great grandmother's ring.

I kept this on me every day
while you were gone.

I walked around with it
in my pocket,

walking down the street,
smiling like a fucking idiot,

waiting for you to come back.

I was doing something.

I was waiting for you.

I'm sorry, Damon.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Fuck this.

I'm sorry.

Damon!

What do you want?

Is Beatrice here?

Why?

I have something
I wanna give her.

Why don't you
just give it to me?

Because it's not for you.

I do have something else
for you, though.

Signed in triplicate.

You were right.
It's more than fair.

Bea!

Damon's here!

- Hey.
- Hi.

Thank you.

Can we have some privacy?

We're good.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Ooh.
- Don't worry.

I'm not proposing.

Again, sorry,
I should have prefaced that.

Yeah.

But I do need to give this back
to you.

I have searched
for this almost every day

for the last year or so.

I didn't know what I was
gonna do when I found it

or even why I was
looking for it.

Well, okay,
I think a part of me thought

that maybe if I found it,
it would bring us back together,

but, yeah.

Um,
this was supposed to be a symbol

of our life-altering union.

But now, I know the real reason
why I needed to find it

and give it back to you.

It was about we could be apart.

I just...

I couldn't leave
while it was lost.

So...

Wow.

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you, too.

So what's next?

Can you go to Mars?

I doubt it.

I kind of blew that one.

But somewhere.

I'll head out somewhere.

Hey, Damon?

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hello?

Is this Damon?

Yes, it is.

Damon, it's Gopi.

Calling to let you know
you've been selected.

What?

For the show.

You're one of 20 people selected to come to New Mexico.

Holy shit.

Yeah, but...

But what
about all those things I said?

I believe human expansion
is likely inevitable,

but I feel
if we have people like you,

we can at least try to do it
the right way.

That girlfriend of yours
is right.

We could really use you.

She's not my...

We'd like you out here
as soon as possible.

You have 48 hours to pack
a small bag of belongings,

and say your goodbyes
to whoever you need to,

and congratulations.

Thank you.

Hey, douchebag!

Hey, Phoebe, it's Damon.

Got some crazy news for you.

I got in.

I'm goin' to Mars.

Just thought you might like
to know.

Thank you.

Hope you're well.

I knew you would be picked.

- Congratulations.
- You, too.

Thank you.

After that amazing speech,
you were a shoe-in.

Did you watch mine?

No.

- I'm sorry.
- Okay.

I... no, I kinda left the scene
of the crime

after I dropped that bomb
in the room.

Probably for the best.

All I did was talk about
how amazing your speech was

and how great you would be
on the show.

Wow, that is very flattering.

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

Also kind of embarrassing.

I was shocked
when I got picked, actually.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I think
the producer pushed for me.

I think she thinks
something crazy could happen

if they put us
in a room together.

Well, I'm not surprised.

So are you ready for this?

Um, I don't know.

I haven't flown in a while
and I really don't like flying.

Are you serious?

Do you think
that might be a problem?

- Yes, I do.
- Yeah?

Okay.

Okay, I'm gonna help you.

- Are you now?
- Yeah.

Okay.

- Close your eyes.
- What?

Just close your eyes.

Okay, so you're sitting
in your chair and...

20 seconds and counting.

Your name is on your

- space suit.
- Okay.

T-minus 15 seconds,
guidance is internal.

Belt yourself in.

- 12, 11, 10, 9...
- 8...

- Ignition sequence starts.
- Go for main engine start.

- The engine starts.
- 6, 5...

6, 5, 4...

And you're up.

You're in space.

Everything's in flight.

What do you see?

It's called
the "overview effect".

When at that scale
you see all as one.

Here men from the planet Earth...

I can't wait to see that.

first set of
foot upon the Moon.

July 1969 AD.

What's wrong?

I can't wait to see that.

What's wrong?

Thank you.

Phoebe.

What are you doing here?

Aren't you supposed to be...

I wanted to see you play.

Yeah, well, no one else did.

That's okay.

No, it's not okay.

I don't know why I thought
it'd be any different.

It can be different.

- How?
- I don't know.

I don't know,
we'll figure it out together.

Together?

You were ready to fly to Mars
just so you could start over

and when it gets tough,
you'll leave again

or I don't know, fuckin' die.

So what about you?

What about me?

"It didn't work out
for me here,

so I'm gonna move over there.

Look,
it didn't work again,

so I'm just gonna leave."

Hey, I get it,
I'm scared, too.

I'm terrified.

What?

What?

I'm coming with you.

Damon, we can't.

Why not?
Let's just go.

Look, I'm already packed.

No, we were just very sad
and desperate,

and we gave each other
a nice little bump

when we needed it
and we should just leave it be.

Phoebe, you've changed
everything about me.

My fault lines and my fractures.

Like they've all eroded
and calcified.

Everything has changed,
because of you.

Damon.

- Look, I...
- I know this might not work out,

but I was willing
to die up there.

For what?

To escape?

I can't do that anymore.

I wanna go with you.

I was built to live here
with you.

I'm callin' you over.

What?

Red Rover.

Red Rover.

I'm callin' you over.

And I'm not gonna let go.

Okay.

Well, here we go.
