WOMAN 1: Well,
my dad was a farmer.

Um, like everybody
else back then.

Of course, he didn't
start that way.

(DISTANT RUMBLING)

(ALARM BEEPING)

MAN OVER RADIO: Computer
says you're too tight.

- Nah, I got this.
- Crossing the Straights.

- Shutting it down, Cooper.
- No!

- Shutting it all down.
- No, I need power up!

(COOPER YELLS)

GIRL: Dad?

(PANTING)
Sorry, Murph. Go back to bed.

- I thought you were the ghost.
- No.

There are no such
things as ghosts, babe.

Grandpa says you can get ghosts.

Maybe that's because Grandpa's close
to being one himself. Back to bed.

Were you dreaming
about the crash?

Get your butt back
in bed, Murph. Heh.

WOMAN 1: The wheat had died.

The blight came
and we had to burn it.

And we still had corn.
We had acres of corn.

But, uh, mostly we had dust.

WOMAN 2: I guess I can't describe it.
It was just constant.

Just that steady blow...

of dirt.

WOMAN 3: We wore, um,
little strips of sheet...

sometimes over our nose
and mouth...

so that we wouldn't
breathe so much of it.

MAN: When we set the table,
we always set the plate...

upside-down.
Glasses or cups, whatever it was...

upside-down.

Shake a leg! Murph,
get a move on!

Tom, 4:00 today, you and me
in the barn, Herbicide Resistance 101.

- Check?
- Yes, sir.

Not at the table, Murph.

Dad, can you fix this?

COOPER: What the heck
did you do...

- to my lander?
- Wasn't me.

Let me guess. It was your ghost?

It knocked it off. It
keeps knocking books off.

TOM: No such thing
as ghosts, dumb-ass.

- Hey.
- I looked it up. It's called a poltergeist.

Dad, tell her.

Well, it's not very
scientific, Murph.

You said science was about admitting
what we don't know.

- She's got you there.
- Hey.

Start looking after our stuff.

Coop.

All right, Murph, you
want to talk science?

Don't tell me you're afraid
of some ghost. No, you got to go further.

You got to record the facts, analyze,
get to the how and the why...

then present
your conclusions. Deal?

- Deal.
- All right.

- Have a good day at school.
- MAN: Hold up.

Parent-teacher
conferences. Parent.

Not grandparent.

(HORN HONKING)

Slow down, turbo!

- That's not a dust storm.
- Nelson's torching his whole crop.

Blight?

MAN: They're saying
it's the last harvest for okra.

Ever.

He should've planted corn
like the rest of us.

Now, be nice to that Miss Hanley.
She's single.

What's that supposed to mean?

Repopulating the earth. Start
pulling your weight, young man.

Why don't you start minding
your own business, old man?

All right, Murph,
give me second.

Uh-huh.

Third.

(GEARS GRINDING)

- Find a gear, dumb-ass.
- Grind it!

Shut it, Tom!

- What'd you do, Murph?
- Ah, she didn't do nothing.

- Blew a tire is all.
- Murphy's Law.

Shut up!

- Grab the spare, Tom.
- That is the spare.

COOPER: Get the patch kit!

- TOM: How am I supposed to patch it out here?
- COOPER: You got to figure it out.

I'm not always gonna
be here to help you.

What's going on, Murph?

Why did you and Mom name me
after something that's bad?

We didn't.

Murphy's Law?

Murphy's Law doesn't mean
that something bad will happen.

What it means is whatever
can happen will happen.

And that sounded
just fine with us.

(WHIRRING)

Whoa!

Get in.

Get in, let's go.

What about the flat tire?

Yeah.

It's an Indian Air Force drone. Solar
cells could power an entire farm.

Take the wheel, Tom.

Go, go, go!

Keep that aimed right at it.

Faster, Tom. I'm losing it.

Right at it.

Stay on it.

Here we go.

Whoa.

Nice one, Tom.

Dad?

I almost got it. Don't
stop. Don't stop!

Dad!

Tom!

(TIRES SCREECH)

You told me to keep driving.

Well, I guess that answers the old "if
I asked you to drive off a cliff" scenario.

- We lost it.
- No, we didn't.

Want to give it a whirl?

This way.

Go.

Let's lay her down right there
at the edge of the reservoir.

Nicely done.

TOM: How long you think
it's been up there?

COOPER: Delhi Mission Control
went down, same as ours...

- ten years ago.
- Heh.

So for ten years?

- Why did it come down so low?
- I don't know.

Maybe the sun cooked its brain
or it was looking for something.

- What?
- Give me a large flatblade.

Maybe some kind
of signal? I don't know.

What are you gonna do with it?

I'm gonna give it something
socially responsible to do...

like drive a combine.

Can't we just let it go?

It wasn't hurting anybody.

This thing needs to learn
how to adapt, Murph...

like the rest of us.

COOPER: How's this work?
You guys come with?

TOM: I've got class.

This one needs to wait.

- What did you do?
- They'll tell you about it in there.

- Am I gonna be mad?
- Not with me.

- Just please try not to.
- Hey. Relax.

I got this.

Little late, Coop.

Yeah, we had a flat.

And I guess you had to stop
off at the Asian fighter plane store.

No, actually, sir,
that's a surveillance drone.

With outstanding solar
cells. It's Indian.

Take a seat.

So, uh...

we got Tom's scores back.

He's going to make
an excellent farmer.

Yeah, he's got a knack
for it. What about college?

The university only takes a handful.
They don't have the resources to...

I still pay my taxes.

Where's that money go?
There's no more armies.

Well, it doesn't go
to the university.

Look, Coop, you have
to be realistic.

You're ruling my son
out for college now?

- The kid's 15.
- Tom's score simply isn't high enough.

What's your waistline?
About what, 32?

- About a 33 inseam?
- I'm not sure I see what you're getting at.

It takes two numbers to measure your ass
but only one to measure my son's future?

Come on. You're
a well-educated man, Coop.

- And a trained pilot.
- And an engineer.

Okay, well, right now
we don't need more engineers.

We didn't run out of television screens
and planes. We ran out of food.

The world needs farmers.
Good farmers, like you.

- And Tom.
- Uneducated farmers.

We're a caretaker generation, Coop.
And things are getting better.

- Maybe your grandkids will get to be engin...
- Are we done here, sir?

No.

Miss Hanley's here
to talk about Murph.

HANLEY: Murph is a great
kid. She's really bright.

But she's been having a little trouble
lately.

She brought this in to show the students.
The section on the lunar landings.

Yeah, it's one of my old
textbooks.

She always loved the pictures.

It's an old federal textbook. We've replaced
them with the corrected versions.

Corrected?

Explaining how the Apollo missions were
faked to bankrupt the Soviet Union.

You don't believe
we went to the moon?

It was a brilliant
piece of propaganda.

The Soviets bankrupted
themselves pouring resources...

into rockets and other
useless machines.

"Useless machines."

If we don't want a repeat of the excess
and wastefulness of the 20th century, then...

we need to teach our kids about this
planet, not tales of leaving it.

One of those useless machines
they used to make was called an MRI.

If we had any of those left, the doctors
would've been able to find...

the cyst in my wife's brain
before she died instead of afterwards.

Then she'd have been the one listening
to this instead of me...

which would have been a good
thing, because she was always...

the calmer one.

I'm sorry about your wife,
Mr. Cooper.

But Murph got into a fistfight with several
of her classmates over this...

Apollo nonsense.

So we thought it best to bring
you in and see what ideas...

you might have for dealing with her
behavior on the home front.

Yeah, you know what? Um,
there's a game tomorrow night.

She's going through a bit
of a baseball phase.

Her favorite team is playing.
There's gonna be candy and soda and...

I think I'll take her to that.

(WHISTLING)

How'd it go?

I got you suspended.

- What?
- MAN OVER RADIO: Cooper.

This is Cooper. Go.

Coop, those combines you
rebuilt went haywire.

Just reset the controllers.

I did that. Now you
should come take a look.

MAN: One by one they've been peeling
off the fields and heading over.

Something's interfering
with the compass.

Magnetism or some such.

(THUDDING)

MURPH: Nothing special
about which book.

I've been working
on it, like you said.

- I counted the spaces.
- Why?

In case the ghost
is trying to communicate.

I'm trying Morse.

Morse?

Yeah.

- Dots and dashes, used...
- I know what Morse code is, Murph.

I just don't think
your bookshelf's trying to talk to you.

Had to reset every compass clock
and GPS to offset for the anomaly.

- Which is?
- I don't know.

If the house was built
on magnetic ore...

we'd have seen this the first
time we switched on the tractor.

I hear your meeting at the school
didn't go so well.

Heh. You heard?

It's like we've forgotten
who we are, Donald.

Explorers, pioneers,
not caretakers.

When I was a kid...

it felt like they made something
new every day. Some...

gadget or idea. Like
every day was Christmas.

But six billion people...

just try to imagine that.

And every last one of them
trying to have it all.

(SIGHS)

This world isn't so bad.

And Tom will do just fine.

You're the one who doesn't belong. Born
40 years too late, or 40 years too early.

My daughter knew
it, God bless her.

And your kids know it.
Especially Murph.

Well, we used to look
up in the sky and wonder...

at our place in the stars.

Now we just look down and worry
about our place in the dirt.

Cooper, you were
good at something...

and you never got a chance
to do anything with it.

I'm sorry.

WOMAN 4: You didn't expect...

this dirt that was giving
you this food...

to turn on you
like that and destroy you.

In April... I believe I'm right...
Fifteenth of April, I think.

This happened about 1:30
when that thing...

came off the top of that canyon.

(CHEERING)

In my day, we had
real ballplayers.

Who are these bums?

COOPER: In my day,
people were too busy...

fighting over food
to even play baseball.

Popcorn at a ballgame
is unnatural. I want a hot dog.

School says you're gonna
follow in my footsteps.

I think that's great.

- You think that's great?
- You hate farming, Dad.

Grandpa said.

COOPER: Grandpa said, huh?

Listen, all that matters
is how you feel about it.

I like what you do.

I like our farm.

You're gonna be great at it.

(ALL CHEERING)

(SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE)

Let's get out of here.

COOPER: All right,
it's a doozy.

All right, gang, let's mask up.

- Tom? Murph? Check?
- TOM: Yeah.

Murph, Tom, you guys
shut your windows?

Murph?

MURPH: The ghost.

Grab your pillow.

You're sleeping in with Tom.

COOPER: It's not a ghost.

It's gravity.

DONALD: I'm dropping Tom,
then heading to town.

You want to clean that up when
you've finished praying to it?

It's not Morse,
Murph. It's binary.

Thick is one, thin is zero.

Coordinates.

Nope. Mm-mm.

Here we go.

Thirty-three.

That's it.

I can't miss this!

Grandpa will be back
in a couple hours, Murph.

But you don't know
what you're gonna find.

And that...

is why I can't take you.

Murph?

Grandpa will be home in a while.
Tell him I'll call him on the radio.

- Aah!
- Jesus.

- What are you doing?
- Heh-heh.

Oh, you think this
is funny? Huh?

You wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for me.

Make yourself useful.

(SOFTLY)
Hey, Murph?

Murph!

I think this is the end
of the road.

Didn't you bring
the bolt cutters?

That's my girl.

MAN'S VOICE: Step away!

COOPER: Don't shoot! I'm not armed.
My daughter's in the car.

(CRACKLING)

(FOOTSTEPS)

- MAN'S VOICE: Don't be afraid.
- Aah!

MAN'S VOICE: How did
you find this place?

Where's my daughter?

You had the coordinates for this facility
marked on your map. Where did you get them?

Where's my daughter?

Don't make me take you
down again. Sit down!

COOPER: Oh, you still think
you're a Marine, pal?

Marines don't exist anymore.

- And I got grunts like you mowing my grass.
- Where did you find those coordinates?

But you don't look
much like a lawnmower.

Think I'll turn you
into an overqualified vacuum cleaner.

WOMAN: No, you won't.

TARS, back down, please.

You know, you're taking a risk
using ex-military security.

They're old, and their control
units are unpredictable.

It's what the government
could spare.

(PANTING)

Who are you?

Dr. Brand.

I knew a Dr. Brand once.
He was a professor.

What makes you think I'm not?

Wasn't near as cute, either.

Please, Dr. Brand. I don't
have any idea what this is.

Now I'm scared for my daughter
and want her by my side.

You give me that, I'll tell you
anything you want to know.

Get the principals and the girl
in the conference room, please.

Your daughter is fine.

Bright kid.

Must have a very smart mother.

It's pretty clear you
don't want any visitors.

So why don't you just let us back
up from your fence and we'll be on our way? Huh?

- It's not that simple.
- Well, sure, it is.

I don't know anything about you. I don't
know anything about this place.

Yes, you do.

Dad!

Hello, Cooper.

Professor Brand.

MAN: Explain to me how you
found this facility.

Kind of an accident. We sort of stumbled
upon it. We were on a salvage run...

You're sitting in the best-kept
secret in the world.

Nobody stumbles in here.
Nobody stumbles out.

BRAND: Cooper, please.

Cooperate with these people.

Look.

It's kind of hard to explain.

We learned these coordinates
from an anomaly.

What sort of anomaly?

I hesitate to term it supernatural,
but it definitely wasn't scientific.

You're going to have to be
specific, Mr. Cooper. Right now.

It was gravity.

Um, what sort of gravitational
anomaly? Where was this?

Now, I'm real happy that you're
excited about gravity, bud...

but you're not getting any answers
from us until I get assurances.

- Assurances?
- COOPER: Yeah.

Like, that we're getting out of here. And
I don't mean in the trunk of some car.

(ALL LAUGH)

Don't you know who we are, Coop?

No, professor, I don't.

WOMAN: You know my father,
Professor Brand.

We're NASA.

- NASA?
- BRAND: NASA.

The same NASA you flew for.

COOPER: I heard they shut
you down, sir...

for refusing to drop bombs
from the stratosphere...

onto starving people.

When they realized that killing
other people was...

not a long-term solution,
then they needed us back.

- In secret.
- Why secret?

BRAND: Because public opinion wouldn't
allow spending on space exploration.

Not while you're struggling
to put food on the table.

Blight.

Wheat seven years
ago. Okra this year.

Now there's just corn.

And we're growing more
than we ever have.

But like the potatoes in Ireland
and the wheat in the Dust Bowl...

the corn will die.

Soon.

(COOPER SIGHS)

We'll find a way,
professor. We always have.

Driven by the unshakable
faith the Earth is ours.

Not just ours, no.

But it is our home.

Earth's atmosphere is 80
percent nitrogen.

We don't even breathe nitrogen.

Blight does. And as it thrives,
our air gets less and less oxygen.

The last people to starve
will be the first to suffocate.

And
your daughter's generation...

will be the last
to survive on Earth.

WOMAN: Murph is tired. I was wondering
if she could take a nap in my office.

Yeah. Thank you.

Okay...

now you need to tell me
what your plan is to save the world.

We're not meant to save the world.
We're meant to leave it.

COOPER: Rangers.

The last components of our one versatile
ship in orbit, the Endurance.

Our final expedition.

You sent people out there
looking for a new home?

The Lazarus missions.

- Oh, that sounds cheerful.
- Lazarus came back from the dead.

Sure, but he had to die
in the first place.

There's not a planet in our solar
system that could sustain life...

and the nearest
star's over a thousand years away.

That doesn't
even qualify as futile.

Where'd you send them?

Cooper...

I can't tell you anymore
unless you agree...

to pilot this craft.

- You're the best pilot we ever had.
- I barely left the stratosphere.

This team never
left the simulator.

We need a pilot, and this is the mission
that you were trained for.

Without even knowing it?

An hour ago, you didn't even know
I was alive. You were going anyway.

We had no choice.

But something sent you here.

- They chose you.
- Who's "they"?

How long would I be gone?

Hard to know. Years?

I've got kids, professor.

Get out there and save them.

Who's "they"?

We started detecting gravitational
anomalies almost 50 years ago.

Mostly small distortions to our instruments
in the upper atmosphere.

In fact, I believe you
encountered one yourself.

Yeah, over the Straights.

My crash. Something
tripped my fly-by-wire.

Exactly.

But of all these anomalies,
the most significant is this:

Out near Saturn...

a disturbance of space-time.

- Is that a wormhole?
- It appeared 48 years ago.

And it leads where?

Another galaxy.

A wormhole's not a naturally
occurring phenomenon.

Someone placed it there.

- "They"?
- Mm.

And whoever they are, they appear
to be looking out for us.

That wormhole lets us
travel to other stars.

It came along right
as we needed it.

They've put potentially habitable
worlds right within our reach.

Twelve, in fact,
from our initial probes.

- You sent probes into that?
- Mm-hm.

We sent people into it.
Ten years ago.

The Lazarus missions.

BRAND: Twelve
possible worlds...

twelve Ranger
launches carrying...

the bravest humans
ever to live...

led by the remarkable Dr. Mann.

Each person's landing pod had
enough life support for two years.

But they could use hibernation
to stretch that...

making observations on organics
over a decade or more.

Their mission was to assess their world,
and if it showed potential...

then they could send out a signal, bed
down for the long nap, wait to be rescued.

And what if the world
didn't show promise?

Hence the bravery.

You don't have the resources
to visit all 12.

No.

Data transmission back
through the wormhole is rudimentary.

Simple binary pings on an annual basis give us
some clue as to which worlds have potential.

And one system shows promise.

One. That's a bit
of a long shot, isn't it?

One system
with three potential worlds?

No long shot.

Okay.

So if we find a home...

- then what?
- That's the long shot.

There's a Plan A and a Plan B.

Did you notice anything strange
about the launch chamber?

COOPER: This entire
facility's a centrifuge.

Some kind of vehicle.
A space station?

BRAND: Both. Plan A.

How do you get it
off the ground?

The first gravitational
anomalies changed everything.

Suddenly we knew that harnessing
gravity was real.

So I started working on a theory
and we started building this station.

But you haven't solved it yet.

That's why there's Plan B.

The problem is gravity. How to get a viable
amount of human life off the planet.

This is one way.

Plan B: A population bomb.

Over 5,000 fertilized eggs weighing
in at just under 900 kilos.

How would you raise them?

With equipment on board,
we incubate the first 10.

After that, with surrogacy,
the growth becomes exponential.

Within 30 years, we could
have a colony of hundreds.

The real difficulty with colonization
is genetic diversity.

This takes care of that.

But what about the people
here? You just...

give up on them?

My kids?

That's why Plan A
is a lot more fun.

- How far have you got?
- Almost there.

You're asking me
to hang everything...

on an almost.

I'm asking you to trust me.

(SIGHS)

Find us a new home.

And by the time you return...

I will have solved
the problem of gravity.

I give you my word.

MURPH: Go away!

Murph.

MURPH: Go! If you're
leaving, just go.

DONALD: This world was never
enough for you, was it, Coop?

What, because heading out there
is what I feel like I was born to do?

And it excites me? Heh.

No, that does not make it wrong.

It might.

Don't trust the right thing
done for the wrong reason.

The why of the thing,
that's the foundation.

And the foundation's solid.

We farmers, we sit here every year
when the rains fail and we say:

"Next year."

Well, next year ain't gonna
save us, nor the one after that.

This world's a treasure, Donald,
but it's been telling us to leave for a while now.

Mankind was born on Earth, it
was never meant to die here.

Tom will be all right, but you got
to make things right with Murph.

I will.

Without making promises you
don't know you can keep.

You have to talk to me, Murph.

I need to fix this before I go.

MURPH: Then I'll keep it
broken so you have to stay.

After you kids came along, your mom said
something to me I never quite understood.

She said, "Now..."

"we're just here to be
memories for our kids."

And I think that now
I understand what she meant.

Once you're a parent, you're
the ghost of your children's future.

You said ghosts didn't exist.

That's right, Murph.

Murph, look at me.

I can't be your ghost right now.

I need to exist.

They chose me.

Murph, they chose me. You saw.
You're the one who led me to them.

That's exactly why you can't go.

I figured out the message.

- One word. Know what it is?
- Murph.

"Stay."

- It says, "Stay," Dad.
- Murph.

You don't believe me.

Look at the books! Look
at this. It says, "Stay."

Why...? You're not
listening! It says, "Stay!"

No, I'm coming back.

When?

One for you, one for me.

When I'm up there
in hypersleep, or...

traveling near the speed
of light, or...

near a black hole...

time's gonna change for me.
It's gonna run more slowly.

When we get back...

we're gonna compare.

- MURPH: Time will run differently for us?
- Yeah.

By the time I get back, we might
even be the same age, you and me.

"What?" Imagine that!

Aw, Murph...

You have no idea when
you're coming back.

No idea at all!

Murph, don't... Don't
make me leave like this.

Come on, Murph!

Don't make me leave
like this, Murph!

Hey...

I love you.

Forever. You hear me?

I love you forever,
and I'm coming back.

I'm coming back.

- How'd it go?
- Fine.

Just fine.

I love you, Tom.

- Travel safe, huh?
- Yeah.

You look after our place
for me, all right?

- All right?
- Uh-huh.

- Hey, can I use your truck while you're gone?
- You mean your truck?

I'll make sure
they bring it back.

Look after my kids, Donald!

TARS: Go for main engine
start. T-minus 10...

- Dad!
- Nine...

Dad!

Eight...

seven...

Dad!

Six...

five, main engine start, four...

three...

two...

one. Booster ignition and...

All engines look good.
Beginning roll program.

Prepare for stage
one separation.

Stage one.

There is Mach 1.

Everybody good? Plenty
of slaves for my robot colony?

They gave him a humor setting so
he'd fit in better with his unit.

He thinks it relaxes us.

A giant sarcastic robot.

What a great idea!

TARS: I have a cue light I can
use when I'm joking if you like.

That'd probably help.

You can use it to find your way back
to the ship after I blow you out the airlock.

- What's your humor setting, TARS?
- That's 100 percent.

Let's bring it
on down to 75, please.

TARS: Stage two separation.

COOPER: All feeds
going manual.

MAN: Going manual.

COOPER: Deactivate probe
heater one, two and three.

MAN: Check.

- Taking control.
- TARS: This is handover to you.

- MAN: A.D.F. check.
- COOPER: Over.

Pull thrusters back. Fuel
cells one, two, three.

MAN: One hundred percent.

COOPER: Ex-mites.

It's hard leaving everything.

My kids. Your father.

We're going to be spending
a lot of time together.

- We should learn to talk.
- And when not to.

Just being honest.

I don't think you need
to be that honest.

Hey, TARS, what's your honesty
parameter?

- TARS: Ninety percent.
- Ninety percent?

Absolute honesty isn't always
the most diplomatic, nor the...

safest form of communication
with emotional beings.

Okay.

Ninety percent it is, Dr. Brand.

We are coming up on the Endurance.
Twelve minutes out.

Okay. Taking control.

Approaching module
port, 500 meters.

It's all you, Doyle.

Nice and easy, Doyle.
Nice and easy.

I feel good.

Take us home.

(BEEPING)

- Lock.
- Target locked.

- COOPER: Well done.
- Okay, helmets on.

Good job.

Door's not charging.

Never mind.

Cooper, you should have control.

Control here.

Communication with ring
module active.

WOMAN: Oh, wow.

TARS: That's initiate.

- COOPER: Are we ready to spin?
- Just a sec.

- Hello, CASE.
- Hello, TARS.

All right, we're all set.

All right, let's do it.

Heh.

COOPER: Thirty
percent of spin.

One G.

How's gravity treating
you back there?

Well.

Romilly? Hey, you okay?

- Yeah.
- You all right?

Mm. Yeah, I just need a minute.

OK, I think we have some Dramamine
in the hab pod, I'm just gonna get that

or maybe in the cryo-beds.
I'll just be a sec.

- Hey, Brand?
- Yeah?

- Bring a lot.
- Heh-heh-heh.

Amelia, be safe.

- Give my regards to Dr. Mann.
- I will, Dad.

It looks good
for your trajectory.

We've calculated
two years to Saturn.

That's a lot of Dramamine.

Look after my family,
will you, please, sir?

We'll be waiting for you
when you get back.

A little older, a little wiser,
but happy to see you.

BRAND: Do not go gentle
into that good night.

Old age should burn
and rave at close of day.

Rage, rage against the dying
of the light.

Though wise men at their end
Know dark is right.

Because their words had
forked No lightning they.

Do not go gentle
into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying
of the light.

- DOYLE: You good?
- ROMILLY: Yeah.

Okay, thank you.

Here. Pills.

So alone.

We have each other.
Dr. Mann had it worse.

No, I mean them.

Hm?

COOPER: It's a perfect planet,
and we won't find another one like her.

No, it's not like looking
for a new condo.

The human race is going to be...

adrift...

desperate for a rock it can cling
to while it catches its breath.

We need to find that rock.

And our three prospects
are at the edge of what...

might sustain human life.

Laura Miller's planet is first.

- Laura started our biology program.
- COOPER: Mm-hm.

- AMELIA: Uh, Wolf Edmunds is here.
- Tell me about Edmunds.

Oh, uh, Wolf's a particle
physicist.

None of them had families, huh?

No. No attachments.
My father insisted.

They all knew the odds against ever
seeing another human being again.

I'm hoping we can surprise
at least three of them.

- How about Mann?
- Dr. Mann?

He's remarkable.
He's the best of us.

He inspired 11 people to follow him
on the loneliest journey in human history.

Scientists, explorers.

That's what I love. You know,
out there we face great odds.

Death, but...

not evil.

You don't think
nature can be evil?

No. Formidable.
Frightening. But...

- no, not evil.
- Hm.

Is a lion evil because it
rips a gazelle to shreds?

Just what we take with us, then.

Yeah.

This crew represents
the best of humanity.

Even me, huh?

You know what? We
agreed, 90 percent.

There you go.

- Don't stay up.
- I'll be there in a minute.

Just remember, Coop, you
are literally wasting your breath.

Hey, TARS? Let's go
over that trajectory one more time.

TARS: Eight months to Mars.

Counter-orbital slingshot around.
Fourteen months to Saturn.

Nothing's changed on that.

Just let me ask you something.

- Dr. Brand and Edmunds...
- Why are you whispering? They can't hear you.

Dr. Brand and Edmunds.
They close?

I wouldn't know.

Is that 90 percent "wouldn't know"
or 10 percent "wouldn't know"?

- I also have a discretion setting, Cooper.
- Aah.

But not a poker face, Slick.

Hey, guys.

Uh, Dad's about to go
down for the long nap.

So I wanted to give
you an update.

Uh...

The Earth looks amazing
from here. Um...

You can't see
any of the dust. Heh.

Um, I really hope you
guys are doing great.

I know you'll get this message.
Professor Brand's assured me he'll get it to you.

Know that I love you.

- Is it him?
- DONALD: I don't think so, Murph.

You must be Donald.

Hello, Murph.

Why are you in my dad's truck?

He wanted me to bring
it for your brother.

He sent you a message.

She's pretty upset
with him for leaving.

If you record any messages, I can
get them to transmit it to Cooper.

Murph is a bright spark.

Maybe I should fan the flame.

She's already making
fools of her teachers.

So maybe she should come
and make a fool out of you.

- So where are they?
- Heading for Mars.

The next time you hear from Cooper,
they'll be coming up on Saturn.

TOM ON RECORDING: As
far as school goes...

the administration wants me to repeat
Plant Pathology. Which sucks.

But they said I could start
Advanced Agriculture a year early.

All right, I got to go, Dad.
Hope you're safe up there.

DONALD: Um, sorry, Coop.

I asked Murph to say hi,
but she's as stubborn as her old man.

I'll try again next time.

You all right, Rom?

(COOPER CLEARS THROAT)

This gets to me, Cooper.

This. This.

Millimeters of aluminum,
that's it, and then nothing...

out there for millions of miles
won't kill us in seconds.

You know
that some of the finest...

solo yachtsmen in the world
don't know how to swim?

They don't know how. And if they go
overboard, psst, they're done.

We're explorers, Rom.

This is our boat.

Here.

(CRICKETS CHIRPING ON RECORDING)

(THUNDER RUMBLING AND RAIN
FALLING ON RECORDING)

COOPER: This is from the,
uh, relay probe?

It was in orbit
around the wormhole.

This is the wormhole,
and every time we'd come around...

we would receive images from the other
side of the foreign galaxy.

Oh, yeah. Like swinging
a periscope around.

Exactly.

So we got a pretty good idea what we're
gonna find on the other side, huh?

Navigationally.

AMELIA: Guys? We'll be approaching
the wormhole in about three hours.

Hey, Coop?

Can we stop the spinning?

Why?

Because we're close
enough to see it now?

All right.

Thanks.

There, that's it!
That's the wormhole!

Say it, don't spray it, Rom.

It's a sphere.

Of course it is. What, you...? You
thought it would just be a hole?

No, it's just that all the illustrations
I've ever seen, they...

ROMILLY: In the illustrations, they're
trying to show you how it works.

So they say you want to go
from here to there.

- But it's too far, right?
- Mm-hm.

So a wormhole bends space like this,
so you can take a shortcut through...

a higher dimension.

Okay, so...

to show that, they've turned three-dimensional
space into two dimensions...

which turns a wormhole
into two dimensions, a circle.

What's a circle
in three dimensions?

- A sphere.
- Exactly.

A spherical hole.

But who put it there? Who
do we have to thank?

I'm not thanking anybody until we get
out of here in one piece, Rom.

COOPER: Any trick
to this, Doyle?

No one knows.

The others made it, right?

At least some of them.

Everybody ready to say
goodbye to our solar system?

To our galaxy.

Here we go.

(HULL CREAKING AND ALARMS BEEPING)

The controls won't work here.
We're passing through the bulk.

It's space beyond our three dimensions.
All you can do is record and observe.

What is that?

I think it's them.

Distorting space-time.

ROMILLY: Don't! Don't!

(BEEPING STOPS)

What was that?

The first handshake.

We're...

We're here.

DOYLE: So the lost
communications came through.

- How?
- The relay on this side cached them.

So years of basic data.
No real surprises.

Miller's site has kept pinging
thumbs up, as has Dr. Mann's. Um...

Edmunds' went
down three years ago.

Transmitter failure?

Maybe. He was sending the thumbs
up right until it went dark.

But Miller's still looks
good though, right?

- Because she's coming up fast.
- DOYLE: Mm-hm.

With one complication.

The planet is much closer
to Gargantua than we thought.

- COOPER: Gargantua?
- It's what we're calling the black hole.

Miller's and Dr. Mann's planets
both orbit it.

- And Miller's is on the horizon?
- ROMILLY: As a basketball around a hoop.

Landing there takes
us dangerously close.

And a black hole that big has
a huge gravitational pull.

Look, I could swing around that neutron
star to decelerate.

AMELIA: No, it's not
that. It's time.

The gravity on that planet will slow
our clock compared to Earth's drastically.

How bad?

Every hour we spend
on that planet will be...

seven years back on Earth.

Jesus.

Well, that's relativity, folks.

Well, we can't just drop
down there without...

Cooper, we have a mission.

Yeah, Doyle, we have a mission,
and our mission Plan A is...

to find a planet that can habitate
the people that are living on Earth now.

You can't just think about your family.
Now you have to think bigger.

I am thinking about my family
and millions of other families, okay?

Plan A does not work if the people on Earth
are dead by the time we pull it off.

No. It doesn't.

That's why there's a Plan B.

Okay. Cooper's right.

We need to think of time as a resource,
like oxygen and food. Going down will cost us.

All right, look.

Dr. Mann's data is promising, but it
will take months to get there.

And Edmunds', it's even further.

Miller hasn't sent much, but what she has
is very promising. It's water, it's organics...

- You don't find that every day.
- No, you don't.

And just think about the resources,
including time...

that would be spent
trying to get back here.

- Romilly...
- Yeah?

How far off from Miller's planet do we have
to be to stay out of the time shift?

Just back from the cusp.

All right, which is here, just
outside of Miller's planet.

- ROMILLY: Right.
- Okay.

Here's Gargantua.
Here's Miller's planet.

Instead of taking the Endurance
into orbit around Miller's planet...

which would conserve fuel,
but we would lose a lot of time...

what if we take a wider orbit around Gargantua,
parallel with Miller's planet...

outside of this time
shift, to here?

Then we take the Ranger down,
we get Miller, we get her samples.

We come back, we analyze,
we debrief. We're in, we're out.

We lose a little fuel,
but we save a whole lot of time.

- That'll work.
- That's good.

There's no time for monkey
business or chit-chat down there.

So, TARS, you should
definitely stay here.

CASE, you're with me.
Anyone else can stay.

If we're talking about a couple years,
I could use the time to research gravity.

Observations from the wormhole,
that's gold to Professor Brand.

COOPER: TARS, factor
an orbit of Gargantua.

Conserve fuel, minimize thrusting, but make
sure we stay in range of Miller's planet.

- You got it?
- TARS: I wouldn't leave you behind...

Dr. Brand.

- COOPER: You ready, CASE?
- CASE: Yup.

- You don't say much, do you?
- TARS talks plenty for both of us.

Detach.

- Romilly, are you reading these forces?
- ROMILLY: It's unbelievable.

A literal heart of darkness.

If we could just see
the collapsed star inside...

the singularity, yeah,
we'd solve gravity.

- And we can't get anything from it?
- Nothing escapes that horizon.

Not even light.

- The answer's there, just no way to see it.
- There's Miller's planet.

Goodbye, Ranger.

CASE: This is fast
for atmospheric entry.

- Should we use the thrusters to slow?
- No.

I'm gonna use the Ranger's aerodynamics
to save some fuel.

CASE: Air brake?

- We want to get down fast, don't we?
- We want to get there in one piece.

- Hang on.
- CASE: Brand, Doyle, get ready.

(ALARMS BEEPING)

- CASE: We should ease!
- COOPER: Hands where I can see them.

The only time I went down was when
a machine was easing at the wrong time.

- A little caution...
- Can get you killed, like reckless driving.

- Cooper, it's too damn fast!
- I got this.

- CASE: Should I disable the feedback?
- No. I need to feel the air.

Here we go.

It's just water!

The stuff of life.

CASE: Twelve hundred meters.

- Do we have a fix on the beacon?
- CASE: Got it!

- Can you maneuver?
- I'll need to shave some speed.

I'm gonna spiral down on top
of it. Everybody hang on!

CASE: Seven hundred.

On my cue, CASE. On my cue.

CASE: Five hundred meters.

Fire!

Very graceful.

No.

But very efficient.

What are you waiting
for? Let's go!

Go, go, go!

Seven years per hour here.
Let's make it count!

(PANTING)

CASE: This way.

About 200 meters.

The gravity's punishing.

Been floating
through space too long?

CASE: One hundred and thirty percent
Earth gravity.

COOPER: Come on. Come on.

- There's nothing here.
- CASE: Should be right here.

If the signal's coming
from here, then...

Her beacon.

DOYLE: Wreckage.

Where's the rest?

Towards the mountains!

Those aren't mountains.

They're waves.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

COOPER: That one's moving
away from us.

AMELIA: We need the recorder.

Brand, Doyle, back
to the Ranger now!

We're not leaving
without her data.

Get back here now!

We do not have time!

The second wave is coming! We're
in the middle of a swell.

AMELIA: No, I got it.

Get your ass back
to the Ranger now!

(GRUNTING)

Brand, get back here now!

AMELIA: No, Cooper, go. Cooper, go.
I can't make it.

- Go!
- CASE, go get her.

- Go!
- Get up. Get up, Brand!

DOYLE: Go, go! Go!

- I'm not gonna make it!
- Yes, you are. Yes, you are!

Come on, CASE has her!
Get back here, Doyle!

Come on!

Get to the hatch!

Go, go! Go!

Shit.

Manually overriding
inside hatch!

Cooper! Wait!

COOPER: The engines are flooded!
I'm gonna have to shut her down.

(AMELIA YELLING)

Holy shit.

Hang on!

(YELLING)

CASE, what's the problem?

Too waterlogged. Let it drain.

Goddamn it!

- I told you to leave me! Why didn't you?
- And I told you to get your ass back here!

- One of us was thinking about the mission!
- You were thinking about getting home.

I was trying to do
the right thing!

Can you tell that to Doyle?

- COOPER: CASE, how much time?
- Forty-five to an hour.

The stuff of life, huh?

What's this gonna
cost us, Brand?

A lot. Decades.

(PANTING)

(GROANS)

What happened to Miller?

Judging by the wreckage,
she was...

broken up by a wave
soon after impact.

How's the wreckage stayed together
after all these years, huh?

Because of the time slippage.

On this planet's time,
she just landed hours ago.

She probably just
died minutes ago.

CASE: The data Doyle received was just
the initial status echoing endlessly.

Oh, we are not
prepared for this.

You eggheads have the survival
skills of a Boy Scout troop.

Well, we got this far on our brains.
Farther than any human in history.

Well, not far enough!

And now we're stuck here till there
won't be anyone left on Earth to save.

I'm counting every minute,
same as you, Cooper.

Is there any possibility...

some kind of a way we can maybe
all jump in a black hole?

Gain back the years?

Don't shake your head at me.

Time is relative, okay?

It can stretch and it
can squeeze, but...

it can't run backwards.
It just can't.

The only thing that can move
across dimensions, like time, is gravity.

Okay.

The beings that led us
here, they communicate...

- through gravity, right?
- Yes.

Could they be talking
to us from the future?

- Maybe.
- Okay. If they can...

"They" are beings
of five dimensions.

To them, time might be
another physical dimension.

To them...

the past might be a canyon that they can
climb into and the future...

a mountain they can climb up.
But to us, it's not, okay?

Look, Cooper, I screwed
up. I'm sorry.

But you knew about relativity.

Oh.

(SOFTLY)
Brand...

(SIGHS)

My daughter was 10 years old.

I couldn't teach her
Einstein's theories before I left.

Couldn't you have told her you
were going to save the world?

No.

When you become a parent,
one thing becomes really clear.

And that is that you want to make
sure your children feel safe.

And it rules out telling a 10-year-old
that the world is ending.

Cooper?

(DISTANT RUMBLING)

- How long for the engines, CASE?
- A minute or two.

We don't have it. Helmets on!

Brand, co-pilot, you're up.

CASE, blow the cabin oxygen
through the main thrusters!

- We're gonna spark it.
- Roger that.

- Locked.
- Depressurizing.

Engines up!

Hello, Rom.

I've waited years.

How...? How many years?

- ROMILLY: By now it must be...
- CASE: Twenty-three years...

four months, eight days.

Doyle?

I thought I was prepared.
I knew the theory.

Reality's different.

And Miller?

There's nothing here for us.

Why didn't you sleep?

Oh, I had a couple of stretches. But
I stopped believing you were coming back.

And something seemed wrong
about dreaming my life away.

I learned what I could
from the black hole...

but I couldn't send
anything to your father.

We've been receiving,
but nothing gets out.

- AMELIA: Is he alive?
- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

ROMILLY: We've got years
of messages stored.

Cooper.

COMPUTER: Messages
span 23 years.

Play it from the beginning.

TOM ON RECORDING: Hey, Dad.

Checking in. Saying hi.

Um...

Finished second in school.

Miss Kurling's still
giving me C's though.

Pulled me down,
but second's not bad.

Grandpa attended the ceremony.

Um... Oh.

I met another girl, Dad.

I, uh...

I really think this is the one.

Name's Lois. That's her
right there.

Murphy stole Grandpa's car.

She crashed it.
She's okay, though.

Hey, Dad.

Look at this!

You're a grandpa.

His name's Jesse.

I kind of wanted to call him Coop,
but Lois says, uh, maybe next time.

Donald says he's already earned the "great"
part, so we just leave it at that.

(TOM SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

LOIS: Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

Say "Bye-bye, Grandpa."

Bye-bye, Grandpa. Okay.

Sorry it's been a while.

Just...

what with Jesse and all.

Uh...

Grandpa died last week.

We buried him out in the back
forty next to Mom and...

Jesse.

Which is where we would have
buried you if you'd ever...

come back.

Murph was there at the funeral.

We don't see her that much,
but she came for that.

You aren't listening
to this, I know that.

All these messages
are just, like...

drifting out there
in the darkness.

Lois says that, uh...

I have to let you go.

And, uh...

so...

I guess I'm letting you go.

I don't know where
you are, Dad...

but I hope that you're at peace.

Goodbye.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Murph.

You son of a bitch.

I never made one of these when
you were still responding...

because I was so mad
at you for leaving.

And then when you
went quiet, it...

seemed like I should live
with that decision. And I have.

But today's my birthday.

And it's a special one,
because you told me...

You once told me that when you came
back, we might be the same age.

And today I'm the age
you were when you left.

So it would be a real good
time for you to come back.

(BOTH SOBBING)

(SNIFFLES)

I didn't mean to intrude. It's just
that I've never seen you in here before.

I've never been in here before.

BRAND: I talk to Amelia
all the time.

It helps.

- I'm glad you've started.
- MURPH: I haven't. I...

I just had something
I needed to get out.

- I know they're still out there.
- I know.

There are so many reasons their communications
might not be getting through.

I know, professor.

I'm not sure what I'm
more afraid of.

Them never coming back or...

coming back to find
we've failed.

Then let's succeed.

So...

back to the fourth iteration.
Let's run it through some new fields.

With respect, professor, we've tried
that hundreds of times.

It only has to work once, Murph.

BRAND: Every rivet that they strike
could have been a bullet.

We've done well
for the world here...

whether or not we crack the equation
before I kick the bucket.

- Don't be morbid, professor.
- I'm not afraid of death.

I'm an old physicist.

I'm afraid of time.

MURPH: Time.

You're afraid of time.

We've been trying
to solve the equation...

without changing the underlying
assumption about time.

- And?
- And that means...

each iteration is an attempt
to prove its own proof.

It's recursive.
It's nonsensical.

Are you calling
my life's work...

nonsense, Murph?

No, I'm saying
that you've been trying to...

finish it with one arm... No,
with both arms... tied behind your back.

And I don't understand why.

I'm an old man, Murph.

Can we take this point
up at another time?

I want to talk to my daughter.

BRAND ON RECORDING: Stepping
out into the universe...

we must confront the reality
of interstellar travel.

We must reach far
beyond our own lifespans.

We must think not as individuals
but as a species.

Do not go gentle
into that good night.

COOPER: TARS kept the Endurance
right where we needed her.

But the trip took years
longer than we anticipated.

We no longer have the fuel
to visit both prospects, so...

we have to choose.

But how?

They're both promising.

Edmunds' data is better, but Dr. Mann
is the one still transmitting, so...

We've no reason to suspect
Edmunds' data would have soured.

His world has key elements
to sustain human life.

- As does Dr. Mann's.
- Cooper, this is my field.

And...

I really believe Edmunds'
is the better prospect.

- Why?
- Gargantua, that's why.

Look at Miller's planet.
Hydrocarbons, organics, yes...

but no life. Sterile. We'll find
the same thing on Mann's.

Because of the black hole?

Murphy's Law. Whatever
can happen will happen.

Accident is the first
building block of evolution.

But when you're orbiting a black
hole not enough can happen.

It sucks in asteroids and comets, other
events which would otherwise reach you.

We need to go further afield.

You once said that Dr. Mann...

was the best of us.

He's remarkable. We're
only here because of him.

And yet... Yet here he is.

He's on the ground, and he's sending
a very unambiguous message, telling us...

to come to his planet.

Granted, but Edmunds'
data is more promising.

We should vote.

Well, if we vote, there's something
you should know.

Brand?

He has a right to know.

That has nothing to do with it.

- What does?
- She's in love with Wolf Edmunds.

- ROMILLY: Is that true?
- Yes.

And that makes me want
to follow my heart.

But maybe we've spent too long trying
to figure all this out with theory.

You're a scientist, Brand.

So listen to me...

when I say that love isn't
something we invented. It's...

observable, powerful.

It has to mean something.

Love has meaning, yes. Social utility,
social bonding, child rearing...

We love people who have died.
Where's the social utility in that?

None.

Maybe it means something
more, something we can't...

yet understand.

Maybe it's some evidence,
some...

artifact of a higher dimension
that we can't consciously perceive.

I'm drawn across the universe to someone
I haven't seen in a decade...

who I know is probably dead.

Love is the one thing we're
capable of perceiving...

that transcends dimensions
of time and space.

Maybe we should trust that,
even if we can't understand it yet.

All right, Cooper...

yes...

the tiniest possibility of seeing
Wolf again excites me.

That doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Honestly, Amelia...

it might.

TARS, chart a course
for Dr. Mann's.

TOM: We'll lose
about a third again.

But next year...

Next year I'm gonna work
Nelson's farm and we'll make it up.

What happened to Nelson?

LOIS: Murph, would you
like some more soufflé?

Oh, no. I'm full, thanks.
It was delicious.

Coop, finish
your fritter, please.

Will you spend the night? Your room
is exactly as you left it. It's ready.

I need to get back.

LOIS: My sewing machine
is in there, but there's plenty...

I need to...

Too many memories.

We might have something
for that. Hey, Coop.

(COOP COUGHING)

The dust.

Lois, I have a friend who...

could look at his lungs.

(DISTANT RUMBLING)

- COOPER: Amelia, I'm sorry.
- You were just being objective.

Unless you're punishing me
for screwing up on Miller's planet.

No, this wasn't
a personal decision.

If you're wrong, you will have
a very personal decision to make.

Your fuel calculations
are based on a return journey.

Strike out on Mann's planet, and we'll have
to decide whether to return home...

or push on to Edmunds'
with Plan B.

Starting a colony could
save us from extinction.

You might have to decide
between seeing your children again...

and the future
of the human race.

I trust you'll be
as objective then.

He's been asking for you
since he came to.

We were trying to reach you.

Murph.

I'm here, professor.

I let you all down.

No, you got us so
far. Real close.

I'll finish what you started.

Good, good Murph.

You had faith...

all those...

all those years.

I...

I asked you to have faith.

I wanted you to believe...

that your father...

would come back.

I do, professor.

Forgive me, Murph.

There's nothing to forgive.

I...

I lied, Murph.

I lied to you.

There was no need for him to...

To come back.

There is no way to help us.

But Plan A...

All this. All these people.

And the equation.

Did my father know?

Did he leave me?

Do...

not...

go...

gentle...

No.

No!

You can't leave.

You... No.

MURPH: Dr. Brand, I'm sorry to tell you
that your father died today. He had no pain.

He was at peace.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Brand, did you know?

He told you, right?

You knew.

This was all a sham.

You left us here.

To suffocate.

To starve.

(ALARM BEEPING)

COOPER: Frozen cloud.

(GASPING)

(CRYING)

(SOFTLY)
It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Pray you never learn...

just how good it can be
to see another face.

I hadn't a lot of hope
to begin with, but...

after so long, I had none.

My supplies were
completely exhausted.

The last time I went to sleep,
I didn't even set a waking date.

You have literally
raised me from the dead.

- Lazarus.
- Hm.

- What about the others?
- I'm afraid you're it, sir.

So far, surely.

No, our present situation is that there's very
little chance of rescuing any others.

AMELIA: Dr. Mann. Dr. Mann?

Tell us about your world.

Our world, we hope.

(SNIFFLES)

Our world, uh, is cold...

stark...

but undeniably beautiful.

MANN: The days are 67
hours long, cold.

The nights are...

67 far colder hours.

The gravity is a very, very
pleasant 80 percent of the Earth's.

Now, up here where I landed,
the water is alkali...

and the air has too much ammonia to breathe
for more than just a few minutes...

but down at the surface,
and there is a surface...

the chlorine dissipates.

The ammonia gives way to crystalline
hydrocarbons and breathable air.

To organics.

Possibly even to life.

We might be sharing this world.

These readings
are from the surface?

Over the years, I've dropped
various probes.

- COOPER: How far have you explored?
- I've mounted several major expeditions.

But with oxygen in limited supply, KIPP
there really did most of the legwork.

- TARS: What went wrong with him, sir?
- MANN: Degeneration.

He misidentified the first organics
we found as ammonia crystals.

We struggled on for a time, but ultimately
I decommissioned him and...

used his power source
to keep the mission going.

I thought I was alone
before I shut him down.

Would you like me
to look at him?

No. No. He needs a human touch.

Dr. Brand, CASE is relaying a message
for you from the comm station.

Okay. Be right there. Excuse me.

Dr. Brand, I'm sorry to tell you
that your father died today.

He had no pain.

He was at peace.

I'm sorry for your loss.

AMELIA: Is that Murph?

She's... She's grown.

Brand, did you know?

He told you, right?

You knew.

This was all a sham.

You left us here.

To suffocate.

To starve.

Did my father know too?

(MURPH SNIFFLES)

Dad?

I just want to know...

if you left me here to die.

I just have to know.

Cooper, my...

My father dedicated...

his whole life to Plan A. I have
no idea what she's talking about.

MANN: I do.

He never even hoped to get
the people off the Earth?

No.

But he's been trying to solve
the gravity equation for 40 years.

Amelia, your father solved
his equation before I even left.

Then why wouldn't he use it?

The equation couldn't reconcile relativity
with quantum mechanics. You need more.

More? More what?

MANN: More data. You need
to see into a black hole.

The laws of nature prohibit
a naked singularity.

Romilly, is that true?

If a black hole is an oyster, then
the singularity's the pearl inside.

The gravity's so strong,
it's always hidden in darkness...

behind the horizon.

That's why we call
it a black hole.

Okay, but if we see
beyond the horizon...

We can't, Coop.

MANN: There are some things
that aren't meant to be known.

Your father had to find another way
to save the human race from extinction.

Plan B. A colony.

Why not tell people?

- Why keep building those stations?
- He knew how hard it would be...

to get people to work together
to save the species instead of themselves.

Or their children.

Bullshit.

MANN: You never would've come unless you
believed you would save them.

Evolution has yet to transcend
that simple barrier.

We can care deeply,
selflessly about...

those we know, but that empathy rarely
extends beyond our line of sight.

But the lie.

That monstrous lie?

Unforgivable.

And he knew that.

He was prepared to destroy his own humanity
in order to save the species.

- He made an incredible sacrifice.
- No.

An incredible sacrifice is being made
by the people on Earth who are gonna die!

Because in his fucking
arrogance...

he declared their case hopeless.

I'm sorry, Cooper...

their case is hopeless.

No. No.

We are the future.

Cooper, what can I do?

Let me go home.

MAN: You're
absolutely positive?

His solution was correct.
He'd had it for years.

- It's worthless?
- It's half the answer.

Okay, how do you
find the other half?

Out there? A black hole.

- But stuck down here on Earth?
- Yeah?

I'm not sure you can.

MAN: God, they just
pack up and leave.

What are they hoping to find?

Survival.

Damn it.

Murph, don't...? Don't
people have a right to know?

Panic won't help. We just have
to keep working, same as ever.

But isn't that exactly what Professor Brand
was manipulating us to do?

Brand gave up on us. I'm
still trying to solve this.

So...

do you have an idea?

A feeling.

I told you about my ghost.

My dad thought
I called it a ghost...

because I was scared of it.

But I was never scared of it.

I called it a ghost
because it felt...

It felt like a person.

It was trying to tell
me something.

If there's an answer here
on Earth, it's back there...

somehow, in that room.

So I have to find it.

We're running out of time.

CASE: What about auxiliary
oxygen scrubbers?

COOPER: No, they can stay.
I'll be sleeping anyway.

- Hey, Coop?
- Yeah?

I have a suggestion
for your return journey.

- Yeah, what's that?
- Have one last crack at the black hole.

I'm going home, Rom.

Yeah, I know. This isn't
going to cost you any time.

There's a chance
for the people on Earth.

- Talk to me.
- Gargantua's an older spinning black hole.

- It's what we call a gentle singularity.
- Gentle?

They're hardly gentle. But the tidal
gravity is so quick that...

something crossing the horizon
fast might survive. A probe, say.

- What happens after it crosses?
- After the horizon is a complete mystery.

So, what's to say there isn't
some way that the probe...

can glimpse the singularity
and relay the quantum data?

If he's equipped to transmit
every form of energy that can pulse.

TARS: Just when did this probe
become a "he," professor?

TARS is the obvious candidate.

I've already told him
what to look for.

I'd need the old optical
transmitter off KIPP, Cooper.

You'd do this for us?

Before you get all teary, remember
that as a robot I have to do anything you say.

Your cue light's broken.

I'm not joking.

I'll need TARS to remove and adapt
some components from KIPP.

I don't want to disturb
his archival functions.

I'll supervise.

All right.

Dr. Mann, we need to find three secure
sites. One for Brand's lab, two for habitat.

Once those modules have landed,
you don't want to move them.

I can take you to the probe
sites, but I don't think...

these conditions will hold.
I think we should wait.

COOPER: CASE is headed down with the rest
of the distillery equipment.

I'd really like to secure
those sites by nightfall.

Well, these squalls
do usually blow over.

Okay, then.

- You'll need a long-range transmitter.
- Got it.

- Are you charged?
- Yeah.

Follow me.

TARS, 72 hours, yeah?

Roger that, Cooper.

MANN: Brand told me why you
feel you have to go back.

But I'd be remiss if I didn't
at least mention...

that a mission such as ours could
certainly use an extra engineer.

You better slow down, turbo.
Safety first, CASE, remember.

CASE: Safety first, Cooper.

COOPER: I have to tell you, Dr. Mann,
I'm honored to be a part of this.

But once we set up base camp and secure
those modules, my work's done here.

I'm going home.

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

You have attachments. But
even without a family...

I can promise you that that yearning
to be with other people is powerful.

That emotion
is at the foundation...

of what makes us human.
It's not to be taken lightly.

(LOIS COUGHING)

- How long have you had that cough?
- A while.

COOP: Mom lets
me play in here.

I don't touch your stuff.

(WHIRRING)

Just take this gently.

You know why we couldn't just send
machines on these missions, don't you?

A machine doesn't improvise well
because you can't program a fear of death.

Our survival instinct
is our single greatest...

source of inspiration.
Take you, for example.

A father...

with a survival instinct
that extends to your kids.

What does research tell us is the last
thing you're going to see before you die?

Your children. Their faces.

At the moment of death,
your mind's gonna push...

a little bit harder to survive.

For them.

Deep breath.

Uh, hey. I bet you're Coop. Why
don't you have a seat here for me?

It's bad. They cannot stay here.

- Okay?
- Yeah.

ROMILLY: TARS,
what's taking so long?

TARS: Professor, I am having
trouble completing the boot up.

I don't understand.

(COOPER EXHALES)

It's funny.

When I left Earth...

I thought I was prepared to die.

The truth is...

I never really considered the possibility
that my planet wasn't the one.

Nothing worked out the way
it was supposed to.

COOPER: Let's go.

(YELLS)

All right, buddy, give
me a big deep breath.

What is this?

- What are you doing?
- I'm sorry! I can't let you leave with that ship.

We're gonna need it
to complete the mission...

once the others realize
what this place isn't.

We cannot survive
here. I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

(MANN GRUNTING)

(MANN YELLS)

- MURPH: They can't stay here anymore.
- MAN: You have to leave right now.

Let me make something abundantly
clear. You have a responsibility...

- MAN: Oh! Jesus!
- TOM: Coop, get her stuff. She's going home.

Dad didn't raise you
to be this dumb, Tom!

Dad didn't raise me, Grandpa did. And
he's buried out back with Mom and Jesse.

(PANTING)
You faked all the data?

MANN: Yeah.

There's no surface?

MANN: No.

I tried to do my duty, Cooper...

but I knew the day that I arrived
here that this place had nothing.

And I resisted
the temptation for years...

but I knew that...

if I just pressed
that button, then...

somebody would come and save me.

You fucking coward.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Listen, if you're not going to go, let
your family go. Just save your family.

And we go live
underground with you?

Pray that Daddy
comes to save us?

Dad's not coming back. He never
was coming back. It's up to me.

You're gonna save everybody?

- Because Dad couldn't do it.
- Dad didn't even try!

Dad just abandoned us!

He left us here to die.

Nobody's going with you.

You gonna wait
for your next kid to die?

(SOFTLY)
Get out.

And don't come back.

MURPH: You can keep my stuff.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Stop it!

No. No!

Dr. Mann, there's a 50-50 chance
you're gonna kill yourself!

Those are the best odds
I've had in years.

(AIR WHOOSHING AND COOPER YELLING)

Don't judge me, Cooper.

You were never
tested like I was.

Few men have been.

You tried your best, Murph.

You're feeling it, aren't you?

(COOPER COUGHING)

The survival instinct.

That's what drove me. It's what drives
all of us. And it's what's gonna save us.

Because I want to save all of us.
For you, Cooper.

I'm sorry, I can't watch you
go through this. I'm sorry.

I thought I could, but I can't.

I'm here. I'm here for you.

Just listen to my voice, Cooper.

I'm right here.

You're not alone.

Do you see your children?

It's okay.

They're right there with you.

Did Professor Brand tell you
that poem before you left?

Do you remember?

MANN PANTING: Do not go
gentle into that good night.

Old age should burn and rave.

At close of day.

Rage, rage against the dying
of the light

(COMM CLICKS OFF)

Brand! Help!

- Help!
- Cooper?

AMELIA: CASE!

No air.

Ammonia.

Cooper. Cooper,
we're coming! CASE!

- CASE: I have a fix.
- Go! Go, go, go!

CASE: And away!

Cooper, we're coming. Hang
in there. Don't talk.

Try to breathe as little as possible.
We're almost there.

TARS: There's a security

It requires a person
to access function.

It's all yours, sir.

AMELIA: Try not to breathe.

We're coming. We're

There's been an explosion.

Dr. Mann's compound.

(WHIRRING)

TARS, TARS, 10 o'clock!

COOPER: Let me know
when TARS is aboard.

TARS: Romilly did not survive.

I could not save him.

- CASE: TARS is in.
- I'll take her now.

- Do we have a fix on the Ranger?
- CASE: He's pushing into orbit!

If he takes control
of that ship, we're dead.

- He'd maroon us?
- He is marooning us.

I'll meet you guys downstairs.
Go wait by the car.

Come on! Give me your bag. Get
in the backseat. Get in the backseat now!

COOPER: Dr. Mann,
please respond.

Dr. Mann, please respond!

CASE: He doesn't know
the Endurance docking procedure.

- The autopilot does.
- CASE: Not since TARS disabled it.

Nice.

- What's your trust setting, TARS?
- Lower than yours apparently.

COOPER: Do not attempt docking.
I repeat, do not attempt docking.

I repeat, do not open the hatch.

If you open the hatch,

Okay, pull back. Retro thrusters,
everything we've got, CASE!

- CASE: Thrusters are full!
- Back!

Relay my transmission
to the on board computer...

and have it rebroadcast
as emergency P.A.

Dr. Mann...

AMELIA: I repeat, do not open
the inner hatch. I repeat...

Brand?

I don't know
what he said to you...

but I am taking command
of the Endurance.

And then we can talk
about completing the mission.

Dr. Mann, listen to me.

This is not about my life.

Or Cooper's life. This
is about all mankind.

There is a moment...

It is not sa...

Oh, my God.

(CONTROLS CLICKING)

- CASE: Cooper there's no point using fuel to chase...
- Analyze the Endurance's spin.

- Cooper, what are you doing?
- Docking.

CASE: Endurance
rotation is 67, 68 RPM.

Okay, get ready to match our spin
with the retro thrusters.

- CASE: It's not possible.
- COOPER: No...

it's necessary.

CASE: Endurance
is hitting stratosphere!

AMELIA: She's got
no heat shield.

- CASE, you ready?
- Ready.

CASE: Cooper! This is no
time for caution.

CASE, if I black out,
you take the stick.

TARS, get ready to engage
the docking mechanism.

CASE: Endurance
is starting to heat.

Twenty feet out.

TARS: I need three degrees
starboard, Cooper.

Ten feet out.

TARS: Cooper, we are lined up.

Initiating spin!

(GROANING)

Come on, TARS.

Retro thrusters!

Main engines on.

Pushing out of orbit.
Come on, baby.

Killing main engines!

Okay, we're out of orbit.

(LAUGHING)

Okay. And for our next trick!

CASE: It'll have to be good.
We're heading into Gargantua's pull.

COOPER: Oh, shit.

- CASE, take the stick.
- Roger that.

(PANTING)

(GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

(ALARMS WAILING)

CASE: Cooper, we're
slipping towards Gargantua.

Shall I use main engines?

No.

We got to let her slide
as far as we can.

- COOPER: Give it to me.
- TARS: There's good news, there's bad news.

Yeah, I've heard that one,
TARS. Give it to me straight.

The backup generator kicked in, so
the system's stable. They're all good.

Good.

Okay. The navigational hub has
been completely destroyed.

We don't have enough life support
to make it back to Earth...

but we can scratch our way
to Edmunds' planet.

What about fuel?

Not enough. But I have a plan.

COOPER: We let Gargantua pull
us down close to her horizon.

Then a powered slingshot around,
launching us towards Edmunds' planet.

- AMELIA: Manually?
- That's what I'm here for.

I'm gonna take us just
inside the critical orbit.

- AMELIA: What about time slippage?
- Neither of us has time to worry...

about relativity right
now, Dr. Brand.

I'm sorry, Cooper.

COOPER: Once we've gathered
enough speed around Gargantua...

we use Lander 1...

and Ranger 2 as rocket
boosters to...

push us out of the black
hole's gravity.

The Lander's linkages
have been destroyed...

so we'll have
to control manually.

Once Lander 1 is spent,
TARS will detach...

TARS: And get sucked
into that black hole.

AMELIA: Why does
TARS have to detach?

We have to shed the weight
to escape the gravity.

TARS: Newton's third law.

The only way humans have ever
figured out of getting somewhere...

is to leave something behind.

Cooper, you can't ask
TARS to do this for us.

He's a robot. So you don't have
to ask him to do anything.

AMELIA: Cooper, you asshole!

Sorry, you broke
up a little bit there.

TARS: It's what we intended,
Dr. Brand.

It's our only chance
to save people on Earth.

If I can find a way to transmit
the quantum data I'll find in there...

they might still make it.

Let's just hope there's still
someone there to save.

(HULL CREAKING)

No! No! Cooper!
What are you doing?

Newton's third law. You got
to leave something behind.

You told me we had
enough resources for both of us.

COOPER: We agreed, Amelia...

90 percent.

Don't.

Detach.

COOPER: Okay,
I am nosing down.

Approaching the event horizon.

Portside, dipping
down beneath it...

to go through it.

Heading towards blackness.

It's all blackness.

TARS! Do you read me? Over.

Okay.

TARS: Cooper. Cooper.
Come in, Cooper.

- TARS?
- Roger that.

- You survived.
- Somewhere...

in their fifth dimension.

They saved us.

Yeah? Who the hell is "they"? And
just why would they want to help us?

I don't know, but they constructed
this three-dimensional space...

inside their five-dimensional reality
to allow you to understand it.

Yeah, that ain't working.

Yes, it is.

You've seen that time is represented
here as a physical dimension.

You have worked out that you can
exert a force across space-time.

Gravity to send a message.

Affirmative.

Gravity...

can cross the dimensions,
including time.

Apparently.

Do you have the quantum data?

Roger. I have it.

I am transmitting it on all wavelengths,
but nothing is getting out, Cooper.

I can do this. I can do this.

But such complicated
data to a child?

Not just any child.

(SOFTLY)
What else?

Oh, come on, Dad.

Murph, the fire's out! Come on!

TARS: Even if you communicate it here, she won't
understand its significance for years.

I get that, TARS.

But we've got to figure something
out or the people on Earth are gonna die. Think!

Cooper...

they didn't bring us
here to change the past.

Say that again.

They didn't bring us
here to change the past.

No, they didn't bring
us here at all.

We brought ourselves.

TARS, give me the coordinates
for NASA in binary.

In binary. Roger. Feeding data.

"It's not a ghost."

"it's gravity."

COOPER: Don't you
get it yet, TARS?

I brought myself here!

We're here to communicate
with the three-dimensional world.

We're the bridge!

I thought they chose me.

- But they didn't choose me, they chose
her. TARS: For what, Cooper?

To save the world.

All of this is one little girl's bedroom.
Every moment.

It's infinitely complex.

They have access to infinite time and space,
but they're not bound by anything!

They can't find a specific place
in time. They can't communicate.

That's why I'm here. I'm gonna
find a way to tell Murph...

just like I found this moment.

- How, Cooper?
- Love, TARS, love.

It's just like Brand said. My connection
with Murph, it is quantifiable. It's the key!

What are we here to do?

Find how to tell her.

The watch.

The watch.

That's it.

We code the data into the movement
of the second hand.

TARS, translate the data
into Morse and feed it to me.

Translating data to Morse. Cooper,
what if she never came back for it?

She will. She will.

MAN: Murph, I can see his car!

He's coming, Murph!

Okay. I'm coming down.

TARS: How do you know?

Because I gave it to her.

Roger. Morse
is dot-dot-dash-dot.

Dot-dot...

dash-dot.

Dot-dash-dot-dot.

Dot-dash-dot-dot.

Dash-dash-dash.

Dash, dash, dash.

He came back!

It was him all the time!
I didn't know. It was him!

Dad's gonna save us.

Eureka!

It's traditional.

(MURPH LAUGHS)

Eureka!

(PANTING)

Did it work?

TARS: I think it might have.

How do you know?

Because the bulk beings
are closing the tesseract.

Don't you get it yet, TARS?

They're not "beings."

They're us.

What I've been doing for Murph,
they're doing for me.

For all of us.

Cooper, people
couldn't build this.

No. No, not yet.

But one day.

Not you and me. But people.

A civilization that's evolved
past the four dimensions we know.

COOPER: What happens now?

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

MAN: Mr. Cooper.

All right. Let's take
it slow, sir.

Nice and easy, Mr. Cooper.

Remember, you're no spring chicken
anymore. Actually, you are 124 years old.

(CHEERING OUTSIDE)

Take it slow, sir.

You were, uh, extremely lucky.

The Rangers found you with only minutes
left in your oxygen supply.

(GLASS SHATTERS AND KIDS CHEER)

Where am I?

Cooper Station.

Currently orbiting Saturn.

Cooper Station.

Nice of you to name it after me.

(LAUGHS)

What?

The station isn't named after you, sir.
It's, uh, named after your daughter.

Although she's always maintained
just how important you were.

Is she still alive?

She'll be here
in a couple weeks.

She is far too old to be
transferring from another station...

but when she heard
that you'd been found...

well, this is, uh, Murphy
Cooper we're talking about.

Yes, it is.

We'll have you checked
out of here in a couple days.

I'm sure you'll be excited
to see what's in store.

I actually, uh, did a paper
on you in high school.

I know all about your life
back on Earth.

Oh, yeah.

Right.

If... If you'll follow me, we've got
a really good situation for you.

So, uh, when I made
my suggestion to Miss Cooper...

I was delighted to hear
that she thought it was perfect.

WOMAN 1 ON TV: It was just constant.
Just that steady blow of dirt.

Of course, I didn't speak
to her personally.

MAN 1: We always set
the plate upside-down.

Glasses or cups, whatever
it was, upside-down.

Well, my dad was a farmer. Uh,
like everybody else back then.

There just wasn't enough food.

WOMAN 2: We wore little things,
little strips...

of sheet over our nose and mouth so
we wouldn't breathe so much of it.

Well, it was pretty exciting
for me because it was hope.

MAN 2: I don't care who describes it, there is no
way for it to be exaggerated. It was that bad.

MAN: She did confirm just
how much you loved farming.

- Oh, she did, did she?
- Yeah.

Come here.

Home sweet home. Everything
replaced and put back where it...

(INTERVIEWEES CONTINUE
SPEAKING IN BACKGROUND)

- Hey, is this...?
- Oh, yeah.

The machine we found out near Saturn
when we found you. Yes.

Its, uh, power source was shot,
but we could get you another one.

Yes. Please.

TARS: Settings.

General settings.

Security settings.

Honesty, new setting:

95 percent.

Confirmed. Additional
customization?

Humor:

75 percent.

Confirmed.

Auto self-destruct
T-minus 10, nine...

Let's make that 60 percent.

Sixty percent confirmed.

- Knock-knock.
- You want 55?

Is this really what it was like?

It was never this
clean, Slick. Heh.

I don't care much for this pretending
we're back where we started.

I want to know where we are.

Where we're going.

- Mr. Cooper. The family's all in there.
- Yeah.

Family?

Yeah, they all came out to see her.
She's been in cryo-sleep for almost two years.

(FAMILY EXITS ROOM)

You told them I like farming.

(BOTH LAUGH)

It was me, Murph.

I was your ghost.

I know.

People didn't believe me. They thought
that I was doing it all myself.

But...

I knew who it was.

Nobody believed me.

But I knew you'd come back.

How?

Because my dad promised me.

Well, I'm here now, Murph.

I'm here.

No.

No parent should have
to watch their own child die.

I have my kids here for me now.

You go.

Where?

Brand.

MURPH: She's out there...

setting up camp.

Alone...

in a strange galaxy.

Maybe right now she's settling
in for the long nap...

by the light of our new sun...

in our new home.
