watching around the world,

good luck, God speed,

and, see you back here
in two years.

Thank you, Jim.

Our thanks to the launch team

and everyone at the MTS program.

The crew is go for launch.

[Hyperion] Copy that.

We have a go

[ship rumbling]

First-stage separation
in three, two, one.

Good break, good break.

[ship engine roaring]

Roger roll MTS.

[ship rumbling]

We should have
a good forward link now, MTS.

Copy that, I'm seeing
the same thing here.

[Hyperion] We're coming up

on second-stage separation.

Copy, second-stage separation.

[Hyperion]
Altitude is 70 kilometres.

170 kilometres downrange.

[ship engine roaring]

Hyperion the main engines
are underperforming slightly.

[Hyperion] Copy,
main engines under-performing.

Good read.

[Hyperion] Stand by,
we're consulting flight.

[ship engine roaring]

Flip your visors down.

[ship engine roaring]

We're past return to landing.

- Abort complete..
- Reaching the end of Oceanic, abort?

Hyperion?

[Hyperion]
That's a negative abort MTS.

There's enough fuel
to handle the discrepancy.

Negative abort.

Copy, negative abort.

[Hyperion]Guess you're leaving

for Mars Transfer Orbit.

Final systems nominal check.

Are we a go?

Go.

Go.

Roger Hyperion, we're ready.

Go for MTO burn.

[Hyperion] Roger that,
enjoy the ride, everyone.

MTO in three,

We go.

[breaths heavily]

[ambient music]

There she is.

[Hyperion] MTS, we're approaching

Kingfisher separation.

Copy, Kingfisher separation.

[Hyperion] Separation is nominal.

[Commander Barnett]
The Kingfisher is auto-docked

to the MTS.

I'm moving to taxi in now.

[Hyperion] Copy that.

[indistinct]..occur in closure rate.

[Commander Barnett]
Closure rate is nominal,

five centimetres per second.

MTS is in free-drift.

Hang tight a bit.

Tethered gravity spinner starting.

You're a go, Hyperion.

[air whooshing]

Artificial gravity is climbing.

[air whooshing]

Looks like we'll hit
close to five Gs.

Tether's unspooling.

[air whooshing]

[coughs]

Solar array separation.

TDS nominal and at full speed.

All right, plugs out.

[Jim indistinct]

Thank you for the Launch, Jim.

See you again at the first check.

Are you kidding me?

That was incredible, that
was incredible! [chuckles]

How're you feeling?

I'm good, good.

[laughs]

[door opens]

Let's go.

[footsteps]

I got it.

-Yeah
- Thanks.

[footsteps]

[ambient music]

[door opens]

Alright, okay Zoe
you take this one,

David you start
working on the back.

- This one?
- Copy.
- Yeah.

[ambient music]

I'll be in the last wing.

Copy that.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How're you feelin'?

You need anything?

I'll be all right.

A beer?

So thoughtful.

[ambient music]

[door opens]

This'll help.

Thanks Zo.

- Come on, Zo.
- What?

- Really?
- What are you?

I'm not.

Commander, how did
she get Payloads to allow this?

I don't even know anybody
at Payloads so how would I..

You wasted, what?

- 800 grams of your allowable,
personal effects, on these?
- Uh huh.

You don't even care
about the rivalry.

No, but you do David.
[chuckles]

I don't know, it's so easy.

Okay,

five hours down..

two years to go.

As your doctor,
I'm telling you to drink that.

[indistinct]

Applicable?

Applicable?

Applicable is British.

[grimaces]

How do I look?

Stunning.

Look c'mon I'm serious,
this is a big deal.

You look good.

You look fine seriously,
you're good.

Ah yes we do, we read
you loud and clear.

Welcome to MTS-42.

Oh yeah, we did, umm..

It's not uncommon to experience
a few hiccups during launch,

but um, due to the preparation
and expertise of our ground team,

we had a smooth rendezvous
with the MTS Cycler.

That's true, umm..

It-it's-it's bittersweet,

I've had the honour
of participating
in two missions to date,

and I couldn't be working
with a more talented crew

on this, my-my final
and third mission.

Well it's only been a few hours,

but it's already
a life-changing experience.

I'm thrilled to be here.

[camera shutters]

To be honest, this isn't where
I thought I would end up.

To me my career was gonna
be research on Earth, hmmph..

I guess you never know
where life's gonna take you.

Yes ah, I applied
to the HARP program

because I thought
it would be a funny story

to be rejected by Hyperion.

But now I realize this is one
of those rare opportunities

that could truly give
my life meaning beyond anything

I could imagine.

Well space exploration
has always led

to amazing medical discoveries

that are applicable
to the people on Earth.

The launch was, incredible.

It.. does take a little while

to get adjusted
to the artificial gravity.

Ah well two years is a long time
to be away from my wife

but ah this is a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I'm so grateful
to have her support.

My research is
integral to maintaining

and sustaining life
on Mars long term.

We are taking the first steps
to being able to call Mars,

a second home.

Ah, no no, not at all,

I mean out of the thousands
of proposals submitted

from university students
and professors

all around the world, these two
definitely rose to the top.

I'm more than confident in their
ability and their training.

I know they can handle
anything that comes their way.

[ambient music]

[power drill motor screech]

Oh! Oh shit!

Oh Shit!

Commander!

- Holy shit?
- Are you okay?

Get him off, get him off.

- Get him off.
- What's going on? Are you okay?

- Is he alive?
- Just pull him off.

C'mon but get him off.

Stop, let's get him
to the infirmary.

- I got him!
- Ready? One, two, three!

- Who the hell is this?
- Come on.

David, put some gloves on.

Copy.

Hold that closed, just hold it
as closed as you can.

- Wow.
- That's great.

The damage is contained
to the functional module,

a significant amount
of atmospheric O2

vented from the MTS.

There's a breach in the hull.

Getting all this?

Yeah we're getting this.

Good.

Hey Jim?

Yeah?

Who the fuck is on my ship?

Is he getting in your way?

Yeah he's still unconscious
but I mean.. is he a threat?

Do we need to, I don't know,
find a way to restrain him or..

Any idea if he'll wake up?

Honestly, I'm surprised
he's still alive.

His name is Michael Adams.

All they know for now
is that he's launch support.

How the hell was he missed?

They're looking into it.

We don't make mistakes like this.

Did he stow away on purpose?

Hyperion doesn't know that yet.

How are you not screaming
in pain right now?

It... hurts.

This is pretty serious.

How long?

To be safe, six weeks at least.

[machine whirrs]

CO2 is up 3%.

How?

The CDR array is turned off.

We shut down
the entire functional module,

including life support.

Let's get started on the
lithium hydroxide canisters.

Yeh, roger.

The breathing masks
in the uh in the exercise room

are attached to
the CDRA as well

so let's, let's just hold off on,
exercise till we sort this out.

- Copy.
- Copy that Commander.

We're good to go.

[machine whirrs]

[indistinct]

[coughs]

Oh fuck.

- Hey, sit down.
- Did we take off?

- No, hey sit down.
- Did we take off?

Sit down or
you're gonna pass out too.

Hey you're okay, just listen to me,

- you're fine, you're safe.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.

You're safe, you're safe,
you're fine.

- Did we take off?
- Commander.

Did we take off?

Okay let's take some deep breaths,

take some deep breaths.

In through your nose,
out through your mouth.

Just like I'm doing.

Great Michael,
it's Michael, right?

Michael I'm Zoe, I'm a doctor,

I want you to focus on
slowing down your breathing.

Just nice and slow, okay?

I'm gonna check your stitches.

- Is that okay?
- Stitches?

Just nice and slow, nice and slow,
you got injured during the launch,

just on your side here.

Is that okay?

Let's take a look.

Ready?

Okay, okay.

That's great.

Okay, you're good, you're good.

Just, nice and slow,
slow your heart rate down, okay?

Yeah, okay.

- Sorry.
- No, you're okay, it's okay.

Hi, hi Michael, I'm Marina Barnett

I'm the commander of the ship.

Do you mind if I ask you
a few questions?

No, no I don't mind.

Do you work for Hyperion?

Yes.

I'm a launch support engineer,
ma'am.

Okay and, do you remember
what happened on the pad?

Yes I was um... I was uh..

I was arming the uh

second stage firing pins
and um..

I thought I was.. I thought
I was buckled in and um.. no um...

You got a concussion,
this is normal, this is fine.

I thought I was clipped in,
yeah okay.

It's okay if you don't remember.

Ho-how long was I..

how long was I out?

We took off about 12 hours ago.

12 hours?

Need to get back to my sister
because..

I need to get back
to my sister, please.

My sister she is alone, please.

- I gotta get back, please.
- Michael, Michael..

I hear you, Michael
but we're not going back.

What do you mean
we're not going back?

This is a two-year mission,
please please.

I understand, I understand..

- Michael.
- We're moving too fast,

we don't have enough fuel
to turn around.

I gotta get back home.

I understand, I do.

Let me go and relay this
to Hyperion,

I'm just gonna be
a few minutes, okay?

Be right back, okay?

- Stay here.
- [David] Yes, Commander.

We're gonna figure
this out okay?

I just need you to keep breathing,
while we figure it out, okay?

Can you just do that?

Slow everything back down.

He's stable, he just needs
some time alone to rest and,

process everything.

Copy.

Need a hand?

No I'm fine.

Michael.

[Michael] Hey hey.

Let me give you a hand.

[Michael] I'm good.

You okay?

- Good?
- Yeah.

I'm good thanks.

- Yeah.
- Yes.

So Michael,
Hyperion talked to your sister,

she's-she's okay.

They're gonna be hiring her
a full-time guardian,

and covering every expense.

Thank you.

These are yours.

The mission director wants
to give you some more details

when we're up
for live comm tomorrow, so.

Okay uh..

Thank you, uh..

I actually came down here
cause I had a couple of things

that I wanted to say.

Do you mind?

Umm please.

First off, I just want to apologize,

for that freak-out
I had back there,

it was just kind of,
a shock to.. wake up here.

- Thank you.
- Of course.

Also I'm not gonna
just sit around.

I know the ship is small

and it's a lot smaller
now that I'm here

and I'm sure there's
some grunt work to be done

and I can learn fast.

I can do whatever it takes.

Thank you, Michael,
I appreciate that.

We're waiting on Hyperion
to tell us what to do next,

but um, in the meantime
if-if-if you're up to it,

perhaps Zoe can run you
through th-the safety procedures.

Yep.

Umm.. we're sorry that you
missed the filet mignon,

but.. this is the next best thing.

We think it's spaghetti.

I should warn you now that,

Zoe thinks she's
the in-flight entertainment.

Uh-ha understood.

You're David Kim, right?

Uh just David's fine.

Got it, so you're in school?

Yeah, working on my Masters,
in structural engineering.

Were you working
on our proposal for HARP?

I actually planned
on putting something together

for the next mission.

I'm not sure you
need to apply anymore.

Yeah, I guess not.

Cheers, welcome to MTS-42.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

[Zoe] I don't know,
it really doesn't feel like

he's here on purpose.

[David] Agreed, so what do we do?

I dunno, I think you should
keep busy I just thought..

- I don't think I have anything for him.
- [agrees]

Maybe I could uh, have him
do some data entry for me.

Actually nice to have some company.

Yeah that works.

[chuckles]

What?

You're gonna have to share
credit on whatever you publish.

It's not about the credits, Zo.

Okay, well you're a better
person than I am David Kim.

That's for sure.

Okay, that's the plan then?

- It's a plan.
- Alright.

- Try not to snore too loud tonight.
- [scoffs]

For the night,
when the lights are dimmed,

they have to stay dimmed,

- it's a power consumption thing.
- Alright.

And if there's a catastrophic
failure in a single module,

like fire or rapid depressurization -
watch your head -

um you have to close this hatch,

so, bye-bye David.

This is the magnetic
radiation proofing.

- In case there's a solar storm,
come in here.
- Right.

I realize your first visit
was a little intense but,

this happens to be
my favourite spot on the ship.

[door opens]

Wow! Pictures don't do it justice.

No, not at all.

[ambient music]

What's your sister's name?

Ava.

And it's just the two of you?

- Yeah.
- [concurs]

[ambient music]

[water trickling]

[soft jazz music]

Okay well this is batch uh 62.

Batch 62.

And we'll start with row four.

Row four.

Row four A will be...

10.23.

Section B.

[chuckles & laughs]

What?

I'm sorry.

I gotta ask.. [chuckles]

What-what is this?

Like what are we listening to?

Like you don't
listen to jazz at all?

No. I mean not really.

Actually my wife is the one
that got me into jazz, but um..

now I love it.

Section B is...

2.16.

2.16.

Yeah, research can get
a little bit monotonous at times,

y'know especially phycology but,
these guys

they keep me on my toes.

Sanders, Coltrane, Bird.

They're like
basketball players or..

Yeah, they're basketball players.

- No, they're not basketball players.
- [chuckles]

[inidstinct] jazz legends of the 60s.

- Right I knew that.
- [laughs]

There, you hear how
it's unpredictable?

But it still has rules.

They're generally playing together,
but once in a while,

a player or two will drift off
into their own little groove.

There, you hear.
[jazz music]

No, I don't.

I really think
it sounds like a hot mess.

Well, well that's what I like
about it, it's not obvious.

And sometimes, it can be
a little bit unpleasant,

but it's pure expression,

and it usually finds a balance.

Nice, I can dig that.

Okay.

Section.. C 9.86.

[jazz music]

[Commander Barnett]
How's it looking in there?

The whole left side came loose.

There remove the cover.

[Zoe] Roger.

Carefully.

Copy uhh..

- Oh, shit.
- [Commander Barnett] What?

There must have been a short.

[Commander Barnett]
[unclear] bad?

Yeah. The whole thing is charred.

Take another picture.

Are we all set?

Hyperion, this is MTS, come in.

Yes, we have a damaged
life support assembly,

I needed to inspect
the incoming images of the CDRA.

It's critical that this gets
fixed Jim, mission critical.

Yep, goin' off COMM.

David, can I speak to you?

Of course.

And Michael, can you
please put on David's suit,

Zoe will explain
what she needs you to do.

Yeah, sure, of course.

[ambient music]

Yes Commander?

How much O2
does your rack produce?

I mean, 90 litres a day,
just a negligible amount.

Is there any way you
can get it up to 950?

- 950?
- Yeah.

No, not with microgreens.

We're testing food production here,
not scrubbing CO2.

Yeah, I thought that's
what your research was about.

Ah but yeah, ah but
that's with algae

and that can only
be opened on Mars.

Well, how much oxygen
would your algae produce?

Approximately...

I could come close
to what you're looking for

under the right conditions but,

all the gear I'd need
was already flown to Mars

on the last unmanned.

What are we up against here?

Did we lose the CDRA?

We don't know for sure yet.

Okay umm.. What about
the backup canisters?

We don't have enough.

Shit, is there anything-anything
else you can try?

I could try growing them here but,

we would risk ruining,
the entire culture.

Alright umm...

Okay if I use, half of the algae,

it could probably
still leave me enough

for a first starter culture
on Mars.

Okay good well,
just put everything else aside

and focus on that.

Yes Commander.

I need a little bit
to figure everything out.

Okay, copy.

Oh, and David. Zoe and Michael
are removing the CDRA.

They don't need to know this yet.

COMM check.

Yeah, I can hear you.

No, when I say COMM check
say "Good check".

Okay.

COMM check.

Good check. [laughs]

I'm gonna depressurize
the antechamber.

When we get in there
everything's normal.

Gonna be no air but,

everything's gonna be normal,
other than that.

No floating around just...yeh?

- Yeah, yeah I'm good... alright.
- You're just reading instructions, okay?

What's first?

You've got to uh..
unscrew the absorbent bed.

It's those screws
on the other side.

What does this thing do?

It scrubs the carbon dioxide
out of the air.

You take that.

- Ready?
- Yeah, I'm ready.

Here we go.

Careful with that, very very careful.

Okay.

I will never get used
to how little material

is between us and space.

That I know.

When they started adding
a third passenger,

to make up for the weight,

they made the functional
module almost half the size,

and removed a protective layer
of shielding.

Hey, that's not helpful.

Just facts.

A hellava thing to say.

[chuckles] Just facts.

- Uhh I'll take that.
- Yeah.

- You guys okay?
- [in unison] Yeah.

- Michael?
- Uh huhm?

Ohh..

Ah, shit.

Yeah, that's great.

Okay. A little pinch here.

Thanks.

It's literally my job.

Not just for this, I mean like,

you've just kinda
gone out of your way

to make me feel welcome, so..

Of course.

Can you take this off?

- My shirt?
- Yeh.

- Put your arm up.
- Yeah.

Thank you.

[Commander Barnett]
How's it coming?

We're still ramping up,
but I'm worried.

I'm worried we're only going
to be able to get to 500

maybe, 550 litres a day.

No, that-that's good,

that's literally
half of what we need,

so, let's go ahead and thaw
out the second batch of algae.

No, I need to rip up
the microgreens for that.

Then let's do it.

[indistinct] hold on, hold on.

The algae is far from thriving.

It's scrubbing only a
fraction of what I could get

if I had the right equipment.

Using the second half
of the batch

doesn't necessarily mean
it'll double the output.

It's imperative that we try.

Commander, this can't
be something we rely on.

These batches can die
at any moment

and I could lose
everything I need for Mars.

Commander, this research
is years of my life,

we both know how important it is.

Are we sure we want
to throw it all away,

while we still have
a chance to fix the CDRA.

There is no chance, David.

It's gone.

Understood.

Ava, hey,

I hope you're treating the people
at Hyperion really nicely

'cause I heard that they..
are moving you closer to school,

which is nice.

Really nice.

Make sure you send me
some selfies when you can, okay?

I'm really getting
my groove here.

You know I thought at first
I was probably gonna be

a burden to uh, y'know crew
and everyone here but,

they're actually
putting me to work.

I hate that it happened this way,

but I'm thinking that this
might actually turn out,

to be best for me,
and for us, in the long run.

Correct, unfortunately,
none of the second batch survived.

That was my fear.

Are you sure?

And why is the climb up
not an option again?

Okay you've got
to level with me, Jim.

Is there any way,
I can take his place?

Because, Hyperion can orbit
the capsule around Mars

and send up a pilot
from the colony,

[sobbing] but how can..

how do you expect me to...

Okay well, I..

I need you to walk me through,
every option,

every single possibility.

There's no easy way
to say this, umm..

The carbon dioxide scrubber
is damaged permanently.

The lithium hydroxide canisters
were only ever meant to be

a temporary solution.

We only have enough oxygen
on board for two people.

I've asked David to
accelerate his research

and he's managed to get his algae

to produce enough for one more.

What are you saying?

We can't make it to Mars
with Michael on board.

We'll end up asphyxiating
on carbon dioxide,

a few weeks before we land.

I mean...

this ship, yeah was
overbuilt for two,

and Hyperion started
to take a chance pushing

it to three, but
it just can't handle four.

Okay, I've been
thinking about this,

and all we gotta do is get
to the colony on Mars, right?

Then CO2 isn't the issue,

we could just vent it out

and lower the
atmospheric pressure.

What we need is oxygen.

Now we could use the pre-breathing
oxygen cylinders or, water.

We could just split oxygen
out of that.

We don't have enough,
that would buy him days, not months.

Umm.. maybe a resupply mission?

If it was unmanned it uh...

We're moving too fast
for resupply.

The Kingfisher's the biggest..
rocket they can build.

Okay but, there's
a giant tank up there

that was full of liquid
oxygen for the launch,

there must be something left.

Oh there's no way
to tell from here,

we can't just reel
in the tethers

with the Kingfisher attached.

Okay so we-we climb up and check.

Climb the tether?

All the way, that's 450 meters.

It wouldn't be full gravity.

Look, Michael was
on board when we launched,

so we used up extra
oxygen and fuel.

'k we barely had enough
to make it to here.

Climbing up would mean risking
damaging the-the solar panels,

severing the power cables,
even falling off the ship.

Hyperion looked into it.

It's just, I can't risk both
of your lives for the possibility,

that you could save him.

There must be something
we can do, anything...

Guys, this is not a call
for a solution.

The entirety of Hyperion
is down there

trying to figure this out,

I'm only telling you this

because I need you
to be mentally prepared

for what's gonna happen.

So how much time
does he have left?

I'll talk to him today, I'll...

- Give him a few days.
- No um, hold on.

You gonna talk to him today, what..?

What are we gonna do, ask him
to walk out of the airlock?

I mean.. okay, exactly,

how much time do we have
before it's too late?

Technically, 20 days.

Okay, then we
should take that time.

No, we need as much of that
margin of error as possible

in case anything else happens.

Margin of error?

What hypothetical situation
could be worse

than the one we're in right now?

Worse case scenario
is he still dies,

but we die along with him.

How?

What's left of the algae

is hanging on
by a thread as it is.

So you're fine
just giving up on a person

- because the risk..
- Oh Zoe Zoe..

Realistically
every day he's still here

it's a danger to all of us.

I am telling you, Hyperion has
anyone with a PhD down there

they're trying to work this out.

And they're not here.

And maybe we can think
of something that they haven't.

They built the ship.

They have one-to-one
replicas of the MTS,

they know every inch
of this place.

They didn't know
Michael was in here.

C'mon Zoe,
that's not the same thing.

20 days, Commander, I mean..

If there's really
nothing we can do,

we have to take someone's life.

Is it unreasonable
to just take that time

and make sure we've
gone over everything.

10 days, that's it.

Commander [unclear]

No, we can spare 10 days.

Okay, okay.

Um and whatta we tell
Michael in meantime?

Look, we were chosen to be here.

We've been trained, psychologically
and otherwise, he hasn't.

He can't contribute to any
of this in any meaningful way,

so I think
the best course of action

is to just keep this
between us, understood?

Yes Commander

David.

Yes. Understood.

So, how is your uh,
new assignment coming?

It's fine.

Okay.

Jim, for their sanity,
they need to try this.

What are you talking about?

The mission is shot.

We have a...

We have a five-month trip there,

plus the trip back.

I still need this crew to be able
to perform critical tasks.

No, they cannot do that
if they are devastated by guilt.

Well, I'm taking the 10 days.

Commander it's been three days.

Hyperion still trying
to figure somethin' out?

Yep.

Go ahead.

Wouldn't they already know,

if there was some way
to save him?

I know how you feel but,

it's not the directive at the moment.

We're endangering ourselves.

The longer we take,
the harder it will be

when we're forced
to take the final step.

Put your arms up.

Sure.

I was in apartment fire.

I was umm..

I was nine years old.

I guess it had happened
in the place below us.

And I was sharing
a room with Ava.

She was...

just a baby.

It got pretty bad in there,

just before our dad managed to,
get us out.

That's brave.

Yeh.

He didn't make it?

Nah.

Ava and I we bounced around...
a lot, after that.

Yeh.. but we always stuck together.

She gave me.. this bracelet.

Sweet.

Yeh. That's me, and that's her.

That's cute.

You know I actually
became her legal guardian.

That's why it's like.. so.. hard..

for me to not be there for her.

[ambient music]

[sobbing silently]

Can we talk?

Hey.

Yeah, sure man.

I have something very
difficult to tell you.

Okay.

The CDRA is destroyed
beyond repair,

and even with every
safety measure we have,

there's no way,
for all of us to survive.

We've known for three days now.

Hyperion has had people
working around the clock

on the problem since then.

Zoe, the Commander and I,

we tried everything
we could to figure out a way,

but mathematically,

with you here,
everyone on board would suffocate

before we ever made it to Mars.

Every day you're with us,
presents a danger to the crew,

and to the entire mission.

If I had to be honest, I uh..

I was explicitly forbidden
to tell you any of this.

Why?

Zoe convinced Barnett,
to exhaust our safety margins,

to try and save you.

To try and figure something out.

Isn't there anything
we can figure out?

- Is there?
- No.

Hyperion would
already know by now.

This would be painless.

And you would just.. fall asleep.

I'm sorry Michael.

[ambient music]

[sobbing]

Hey, Ava.

I know this transition hasn't
been the easiest for you.

And it's harder
for me to know that.

I hadta face the fact that

I'm not gonna be there with you,
every step of the way.

But you're tough.

Tougher than I'll ever be.

You know I met some really
incredible people here.

I mean, they're smart,

caring,

driven.

They're the best at what they do.

And I see so much of you in them.

I gotta go, but um...

I love you.

Michael?

You okay?

Michael?

You don't have to do this.

There's nothing else to do.

We don't know that.

Look, I know
you fought for me, okay?

But this is.. different.

This is...

It's hopeless, you know?

It isn't.

Can I tell you something?

This happened like, 12 years ago.

I had this summer job.

I was supposed to be,
just keeping an eye on this beach.

I wasn't a lifeguard,
just a watch,

'cause there were signs
all over the sand that said

"No Swimming."

I mean they said,
"Danger, no swimming."

So I just thought
I was gonna read, all day.

And..

there were these drunk guys

that would always hang
out by this bonfire nearby.

And I see a guy in the water,

and his buddies won't wake up

and they're passed
out on the sand um.

He's just...

quietly drowning,

by himself out there.

And immediately I call it
in and I don't get a response.

And...

I mean the tides are strong.

And I jump in and when I get to him
I'm already exhausted.

And I try and to keep
his head above the water,

and I'm there for.. five minutes,
longer and longer.

Then I start to lose him.

And, suddenly I felt myself
being picked up,

and somebody's grabbed both of us
before we slipped away,

and they just.. row us to
the beach and that's it.

How do you know someone's coming?

I didn't.

I didn't.

We've got some time,
and that's a last resort.

I'm not giving up on you.

Yeh?

Yeah.

Okay.

[ambient music]

[footsteps]

What did you do, David?

Zoe.

What the hell did you do?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, did Michael..?

No he didn't fucking
kill himself David.

That's what you wanted, isn't it?

You had no right
to disclose anything

and you especially had no
right to go into my lab

and steal my medication
for something like this.

I was trying to protect us.

Barnett gave us 10 days.

Yes, and using all that time
is putting us at risk.

What don't you get
about this, Zoe?

We are already doing everything
we can to try and save him,

there's nothing else.

I'm just trying to salvage
what's left of this mission

and that includes you.

Michael.. Michael died
the moment we took off.

You wanted to get rid
of him three days ago

you weren't even trying
to figure this out.

Not even trying?

I destroyed all of my research.

This, this right here.

This is the only thing
keeping us alive right now.

My last three years of training
are now meaningless.

My next two years
of experimentation are gone.

You of all people should know

how much this work means to me,

and I gave it all up
to try and save him.

What the hell have you done, Zoe?

What have you done?

How do we know if there's
enough oxygen up there?

We don't but, we're out of options.

So, these are what we use
to climb the tethers.

Clamp it on. Get some leverage.

You have to keep pressure,

on the handle as you're pulling up

otherwise it'll just slide down.

Wanna try it?

I know it, I know it's
counterintuitive,

you have to,
lift this leg with this arm.

Right side then, yep.

Yep, you're gonna be feeling uh
less and less gravity

the closer you get
to the solar panels,

so when you climb the tethers,

it'll get easier
the higher you go, okay?

Sure.

It's okay it's okay it's okay,
you're okay. Start over,

let's reset, let's start over,
we got it?

I-I-I-I I got it, I got it.

Yeah, d'you wanna just reset?

No.

- Fuck.
- Are you okay?

No, good, good.

Commander..

I understand that your duty
is to protect your crew,

and the risks that you've taken
by giving Michael more time.

We were all put
in this situation.

We have to be willing to expend
more than just resources.

I know that climbing
the tether puts us at risk but,

I think we should put
ourselves at risk.

I wouldn't be able
to live with myself

if I didn't try everything
I could to save his life,

and David...

I need you to help me.

Michael can't be the one
to climb the tether, he tried.

- What do you mean?
- Michael knows.

- David, I'm..
- I'll do it.

What you'll do it,
just like that?

We need enough oxygen for two.

Once you're out there,
you'll need to tap the LOX tank

and transfer as much as
you can into the canisters.

You're not gonna know
how much is in there

until you connect the gauge.

Each of the canisters holds
enough for one person,

so obviously the hope is that
there'll be, enough for two.

Now when you pierce the tank,

the connection's
not gonna be perfect,

so make sure any oxygen
that's leaking out

is pointed towards the back.

Guys, listen.

You two never trained
for anything

with this much complexity.

So, keep your cool, over-communicate,
and take your time.

Do not rush.

Michael.

I want you to know that...

It's okay.

We're good.

[ambient music]

[door closes]

[Commander Barnett]
EV1, comm check.

Comm check.

[Commander Barnett]
EV2 comm check.

Good check.

[Commander Barnett] Good.

You're gonna be feeling
full gravity on the roof.

A little over 200 meters
to the solar panels,

but the higher you go,
the less gravity you'll feel.

Roger.

Do not touch the tether

with the clamps,
it's carrying the power down

from the solar panels.

[Zoe] Loud and clear.

Don't climb the power tethers.

Wow, the spinning is
so much worse out here.

You gonna be okay?

Yeah, yeah,
I'll just focus on the tether.

Hold on, Zo.

I need a break.

[Commander Barnett]
Status check.

We're good.

Starting to get easier..
theoretically.

Speak for yourself.

Try not to use
your upper body so much, okay?

Okay.

[Zoe] MTS.

We've reached
the half way point.

[Commander Barnett] Copy EV2,
you're coming into view now.

[ambient music]

Just.. take your time.

Take it really easy here,

it's critical, to stay away
from the photovoltaic panels.

We could lose power to the
entire ship. Permanently.

Roger.

I'm good David, are you ready?

Ready.

[Zoe] Just let go,
I'll pull you in.

You all good?

I'm good.

MTS, we're headed down
to the Kingfisher now.

Copy that.

[Commander Barnett] Okay,
now hook yourselves back in,

before you're moving too fast.

[tense electro music]

MTS, we're on the Kingfisher.

[Commander Barnett]
Great, great to hear it, EV1.

One, two, three.

Whoa whoa.

Okay I'm heading down
the Kingfisher now.

You got this, Zo.

You alright, Zo?

Fine.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Alright, I'm inside.

[Commander Barnett]
Then you're looking for
the liquid oxygen pipe

toward the back.

I see it.

[Commander Barnett]
Great, walk me through every step.

Oh god.

Tapping into the line now.

[Commander Barnett] Copy.

Okay, connection's in.

[Commander Barnett]
Okay, how good is the seal?

It's definitely not 100%.

It's hard to tell how much
we're losing by sight.

[Commander Barnett] Let's
just lose as little as possible.

Roger. Um.. ready to check
how much oxygen

we've got up here.

We're at 250.

We have enough to fill up
at least one cylinder.

[Commander Barnett]
Copy that, good so far.

Come on.

MTS..
[breaths heavily]

we've got more than
enough oxygen up here.

It's climbing.

[Commander Barnett] Fuck me.
[Michael shouts] Fuck!!!

Still climbing.

Okay stay focused,

we've gotta get
these cylinders filled.

David, send the first one down.

Copy, comin' down.

On the way.

[Zoe] You enjoying the view
up there David?

Not funny, Zoe.

[chuckles]
First cylinder's full.

I'm uncoupling it now.

Still got plenty of oxygen
left in the big tank.

Ready when you are.

[Zoe] Coming out.

Okay.

MTS, we have the first cylinder.

[Commander Barnett]
Great, copy that.

[David] Second cylinder
is on its way.

How's it going in there Zoe?

The tank's still leaking,
but it's all good.

Second canister filling up.

It lo...
[alert alarm ringing]

What's going on?

We're getting
a solar storm warning, abort EV1,

abort EV2.

[garbled]

How much time do we have?

[Commander Barnett] 20 minutes.

Zoe, c'mon let's go.

No, we can't just
leave this here,

this is the oxygen for Michael.

There isn't enough time,

you're gonna have to leave it.

[Commander Barnett]
It's a coronal mass ejection,

the radiation is
just gonna be deadly.

You need to head back right now.

[Zoe vents in frustration]
[David] Zoe, come on.

- Zoe.
- Yeah I'm coming. Aagh..

Come on Zoe we gotta go.

I'm out, I'm climbing.

Oh Jesus.

- Let me clip you in.
- Alright.

Okay. I'm heading up.

Zoe, David, status check.

We're about a quarter of the way
back to the MTS.

I'm dyin' here Zo.

It's gonna start
getting easier, come on.

[Commander Barnett]
Taking it slow.

- Michael.
- Yuh?

- Close the shutters.
- Got it.

Stay back there.

How far are you two?

About to cross the solar array.

Go ahead.

I'll be right behind you.

Zoe,

Zoe, can you hear me?

I can't slow down.

[Commander Barnett]
Clip back, clip back into the tether.

Zoe, you're moving too fast.

- Clip back in.
- Aargh I can't.

Zoe.

- Zoe!
- David, David, David, David it's gone.

David, it's gone.

Come on, let's go,
let's go, I got you.

Try and get up.

Okay.

Let's go.

[ambient music]

Look,

we've still got a full tank,
leaking up there.

And we're gonna lose it.

If we can get to it..

three of us can still make it.

Right now the storm
is lethal out there.

Maybe we can wait it out.

How long is the storm
gonna last?

Hours.

I can go.

Michael.

Why you want it mate?

You just, you don't
have the trainings.

If you don't make it back,
one of us dies too.

- I'm willing.
- I'll go.

I can do it.

I can do it.

Yeah.

I can do this.

- Wait.
- David..

I can't let you do this.

So, make it back home.

Go have a kid, and send them
to Yale okay?

Wait Zoe, I...

[unclear]

- I'm so sorry..
- I know, I know.

- I wish I could do it.
- I know.

I know.

[ambient music]

[Zoe voiceover]
I applied to the HARP program

because I thought
it would be a funny story,

to get rejected by Hyperion.

But now I realize that this is
one of those rare opportunities,

that could truly
give my life meaning,

beyond anything I could imagine.
