Previously, on
"Mars"...

It's important
I share my experience

with you,
commander to commander.

There are no real boundaries here,
not for Lukrum anyway.

We didn't sign the outer space
treaty, and we aren't even based

in a country that did sign it.

I'm pregnant.
It's not like I planned this.

No, you just
planned to leave.

I don't
know what to do.

I came here
for the adventure.

Where you see a red,
dusty planet, I see beauty.

I just have to show progress, and I
can only do so much on the surface.

Maybe those bastards at
Lukrum had the right idea.

Did you see something?

Only what
we're looking for.

Well, that was lucky.

Finding water,
that was lucky.

You need to tell
us where the water is.

You're one crazy
bitch, you know that?

This planet
doesn't belong to you.

It doesn't belong to anyone,
especially if there's life here.

I thought
she was sleeping.

She's not breathing.
I need help.

Because it was always
my dream

to be with you
on Mars.

*MARS (2016)*
Episode Title: "Darkness Falls"

How's your appetite?

Fine.

Are you
sleeping alright?

Yes.

Any changes in mood?

Any anger?
Depression, anxiety?

Nothing beyond what's
normal for the situation.

Well, though there are
some common stages of grief.

I don't think we should be talking in
terms of what's normal and what's not.

Can you tell me, have you been
having any negative thoughts?

No, not really.

What are you
getting at exactly?

I'm not
getting at anything.

It's been three
months since Joon died.

I'm just trying to
help you process.

What would really help is
letting me get back to work.

When a loved one
suddenly dies,

we often feel more
than a sense of loss.

Often, there's a
sense of guilt.

And rather than
dealing with the pain of that,

it becomes
easier to postpone.

You have to allow
yourself to feel, Hana.

I don't
have that luxury.

Not here.

Pretty sure our drones
weren't designed for stalking.

I'm just monitoring Lukrum's progress,
if that's what you want to call it.

And if I hadn't, we wouldn't
even know where the aquifer was.

They certainly weren't
going to tell us.

But what they are doing
over there isn't all bad, you know.

I mean, they can get underneath the
surface here in a way we never could.

You're right.

That's why I watch them
as closely as I do.

Not that's there's been much to
see for the last two months.

It's taking them a while to print
and assemble that drilling equipment?

Is that
inside information?

Look, I know you're not a
fan of the company they work for,

but the people at Lukrum
colony are pretty great.

Spoken like someone who
is sleeping with the enemy.

Jen is
not the enemy, okay.

She's someone who I
really care about.

You know what?

None of my business.

What's
going on over there?

I picked their spot!

It's
amazing, isn't it?

I mean, look at the face.

Well, actually I'm
looking at bone development.

And?

Within range.

Comparable to a fetus
on Earth at 16 weeks.

Thank God.

Her organs appear to be
developing normally as well.

- Heart, liver.
- Her?

You said her?

Oh yeah.

I'm sorry,
I should have led with that.

It's a girl.

It's a little girl.

It's still early
in the process, Javier.

Okay?

Okay.

Not much to
get excited about.

Permafrost cap is only half a
percent smaller than it used to be.

Once they start covering a
larger area, we'll see changes.

We have to.

You okay?

Yeah, other than having to
answer that question all the time.

They've started.

I sent you the drone footage.

Did you get it?

No.
What's going on?

Lukrum,
they're actively drilling.

They didn't notify you?

Marta, we've
been through this.

They don't have to notify me.

Right, because nobody holds
them accountable for anything.

I don't know
what you want me to do.

Your job.

Notify the command that I need
to gather samples on site.

Immediately.

- I can't do that.
- Why not?

There's no official
communication between our colonies.

And we've been instructed by IMSF not
to interfere with Lukrum's operations.

Well, that's stupid.

And wrong.

Our mission was to
explore this planet,

not to sit back and watch
it being exploited

by corporate thugs.

Look, I am just as
frustrated as you are.

Do you think I want to sit by and
watch them trash the planet?

No.

I don't.

But I have trust that IMSF is doing

- all they can to keep them in check.
- We're talking about

finding a second genesis!

A new biochemical life form that's
unrelated to anything on Earth.

And if it is anywhere on this
planet, it's in the liquid water

that is buried
deep underground.

Hm. Mhm.

So are you really going to sit there
and do nothing

while they potentially destroy
all that?

Whose side are you on?

Huh?

Whose side are you on?

The side of
following orders!

You are not to contact or interfere
with Lukrum's activities.

Am I making myself clear?

One of the first things
to understand about Mars

is whether there was
primordial life there.

I don't think there was
complex life there,

but there may have
been bacterial life

and there may still be bacterial
life deep underground.

So if there's some
mining operation and

they find life that the
previous scientific

expeditions didn't know were
there, pause for a minute.

There's a lot to be
learned from that.

I think it would be a
real tension between

scientists who want to
keep Mars as untouched

as a science lab, and
interests that are financial.

So scientists will
have to fight to do

the scientific work
that has to be done,

even if it is greeted
with opposition or fear.

Any time the process
of science reaches

a conclusion
that is threatening to

either an ideology or
a desired reality,

you are going to face pushback.

Global warming.

It has become in effect
a religion rather than a science.

Global warming and da, da, a
lot of it's a hoax, it's a hoax.

We have had no significant
warming, uh, since 1998.

Actually no warming.
We've been cooling in recent years.

Right now we're facing a crisis
in our society, about science.

Today, the EPA blocked
its own scientists

from speaking about
climate change.

CDC is now banned from
using seven words

or phrases in its budget document.

It has gotten so bad
now, that scientists are

being restricted in terms
of what they can say.

And if we can't hear
what science is telling us,

the consequences are going
to be dire for everybody.

As you fly in,

you'll be able to see
there's a big river.

I think if we can set down somewhere
there, that would be excellent.

Okay.

Uh, it's so much wetter
than it was the other day.

This is going to be
an awful place to camp.

I built my career on being willing to
go into environments that other people

have considered uh,
uh, inaccessible.

Being on the Greenland
Ice Sheet's probably

about as close
to going to another

planet as you can get,
and still be on Earth.

We'll be out here
for a month or two months,

so we have to be completely
self-sufficient.

We're basically stuck there
until someone comes to get us.

Alright, keep the
tent low. Sit on it.

Got a tap here.

It's pretty
physically demanding,

it's mentally demanding.

An average person might
look up

and just be like, oh, that's
a horrific place,

why would anybody
want to go there?

The scientist in me, thinks,
this is data.

We're out here to
figure out exactly

how fast the Greenland Ice
Sheet is melting.

Ice caps are melting
and temperatures are rising

according
to a new UN report.

Arctic temperatures are rising

about twice as fast as
the global average.

We're seeing
an incredible amount of ice loss

from the ice sheets
in Greenland.

That ice is going
into the ocean,

which is contributing
to sea level rise.

If sea levels rise two feet,

tens of millions of people
will be displaced.

Around 145 million
people around the world

live less than
three feet above sea level.

And a rising sea level threat poses

a continuing threat
to cities

and industries at
low elevations.

Yes, climate change is
real, yes, people are causing it,

and we probably need to
do something about it.

A scientist is someone

who asks
what is the bigger story,

what is the truth that needs to be
brought in front of the public?

For a scientist to continue to research,
in the face of either skepticism or

even out and out
opposition,

you've got to be really brave to
keep on doing that.

Voice comm from Cameron.

Hey I've been
looking for you everywhere.

Where are you?

Honestly,
best you don't know.

Hope that means you're not
doing anything you shouldn't be?

No, just doing
what needs to be done.

Talk later.

Communication ended.

Mae, set course to
Sector 4, Lukrum drill site.

Course set.

Voice comm from Amelie.

Amelie!

You were right.

It's a girl.

I knew it.

Yeah, and so far at least,
she seems to be developing normally.

I wanted to tell you in
person, but where are you?

Never mind me.

Where are you with all this?

And how is Javier?

Well, he seems happy.

But I'm not sure how I
feel about any of it.

I'm not even sure
how I feel about him anymore.

Seriously?

We broke up, remember?

Hold on.

Comm paused.

Zoom in.

Resume.

It's more accurate to
say that you broke up

with him when you
decided to leave, hmm?

Yeah, but now I'm not, so,
what does that make us to each other,

other than parents to a child
who may or may not be okay?

You can doubt a
lot about this situation,

but... you can't doubt
that Javier loves you.

That he respects
you and what you do.

Think before you push
a man like that away.

Marta, I had no idea
you were such a romantic.

I'm not.

I'll see you at home.

Comm ended.

Zoom in.

Recording.

Recording.

I don't know
how I'm supposed to do this alone.

I'm so sorry.

To leave you like this.

My little sis.

Hana?

You hearing any of this?

Sorry, yeah.

It's impressive.

Been a while since we've done any
building, and I think this would make a big

difference around here.

I'll run it by IMSF.

What?

I heard
about you and Marta.

I've never known
you to be a yeller.

She wasn't listening.

Okay, well, I will.

Or, I would if you
actually talked to me.

You've been pulling
away from everybody.

You barely come out of your hab, and
when you do, it's just to work.

I'm your friend.

You know I'm here for you.

I know, I.

Sorry to interrupt, but
there's been a breach of protocol.

A rover was taken into the
field without authorization.

What are
its coordinates?

It appears
to be in Sector 4.

Lukrum drill site.

So much for
taking orders.

Damn it.

Voice comm
from Olympus Town control room.

This is
Command, come in.

Marta, I know you can hear me.

Explain your actions.

Mobile comm's
been deactivated.

Steals a rover,
hangs up on the commander.

For all we know, she could be
sabotaging Lukrum equipment, too.

Marta's a scientist,
not an eco-terrorist.

Either way, she doesn't
respect your authority.

Solar mirror
successfully attached.

Okay, we did our part.

Copy that.

Now if you just dropped down
some Szechuan, that'd be nice.

Getting a bit sick
of the food here.

We're on the other side
of the planet at the moment.

But even if we weren't.

Activate
emergency generators.

Electrical systems compromised.

What the hell?

A flare's coming in.

Electrical team,
report to command.

Everybody else, calm
down, sit tight.

Our radiation shielding's
fully functional.

- You got a head count?
- 30 strong.

Live feed status?

Olympus
Town live feed is unavailable.

Solar radiation's
off the charts.

And we're not
even on the surface.

Okay, hey, let's put a team
together to check the damage outside.

Satellite status.

Operational.

What are the chances of something
like this actually hitting us?

A spot like this,
pretty, pretty low, actually.

How do you know that?

I read sometimes.

Communications, down too.

I hope Olympus Town's okay.

Try contacting
Lukrum colony.

Radio frequency's down.

Keep trying.

Bernard, Flora, Carmela,
come with me. Shep, you too.

Yup.

No, no, Marvin,
you stay.

IMSF control room.

Secretary General,
all contact with Mars has been lost.

What's happening?

Solar flare.

It's taken out our electrical grid
and our entire communications.

Surface wiring and
fuses probably got fried.

We need to get up top,
have a look at the transformers.

Where's Marta?
She was out in the field.

Okay, all set.

Mae, power on.

Warning,
exterior radiation levels high.

That's not good.

Was there a solar flare?

Mae, message to command.

Communications
are currently unavailable.

It must have affected
surface electronics.

Set the coordinates
to Olympus Town.

Terrain-relative
navigation is not operational at this time.

Are you kidding me?

Reset TRN.

TRN
software systems failure.

Fine.

I know the way.

I'll drive there myself.

We can't ID the
non-functioning transformers.

So they'll just have to
check them one by one.

Are Robert and Javier
above ground yet?

- On their way.
- Good.

Tell them to focus on getting the
radio tower operational first.

With all due respect, shouldn't
getting off backup power be our priority?

Emergency generators
will only last so long,

and we've got 200 people
to worry about here.

And we have enough power, oxygen,
and heat to last us for several days.

Marta only has enough
for a few hours.

She doesn't need to
contact us to get back.

Her TR navigation should
get her here no problem.

And what if that
wasn't working either?

It's nightfall.

If she could have been here by now,
she would have been.

And without radio beacons,
we can't find her, and she can't find us.

This
doesn't look right.

It's getting too dark.

Where the hell am I?

We know what it's like
to be in a harsh environment

and to risk
everything for science.

I mean, we've been doing it up
in the Arctic for a long time.

The stakes are so high here.

You've got minus 40 degrees,

you know, horrible storms, w
hite-outs.

There's an inability to rescue
people when things go wrong.

So for scientists the reward has to
be great for them to go up there.

I caution everybody to stay
away from the actual river bank.

If you were to slip and fall,
or wind up in the water,

you're just going to
get sucked down the hole.

A lot of things could
go wrong out here.

We're taking a sensor
that measures basically

how much melting that
we've had on the ice sheet,

and we're lowering
that into these giant,

hundreds of meter-deep
waterfalls.

The big concern any time we make an
initial approach up to the edge,

is the stability of the ice.

There's a lot of rapids
that can undercut

some of the areas that
we'd be standing on.

If something were to collapse
underneath of me,

the water's just a fraction of
a degree above freezing.

Uh, I'd lose my ability
to use my hands

very, very quickly so we always
want to be prepared

in the event that
something does go wrong.

All right, so I'm going to
probe out to the edge,

I'm going to come back
and grab the cable.

When we're ready to go,
I'll let everybody know.

Nobody's tried to do this here
on the Greenland ice sheet

so we're pretty
motivated to make it work.

We're all set here
to start lowering.

It's a pretty monster hole.

Looks like we can send the cable
straight down the waterfall

so whenever you're ready,
I'm going to start lowering.

The pursuit of science requires a kind
of dogged determination and passion to

find the answer to
the question you pose.

There's terrific risk
going out to these areas,

but scientists become tunnel vision,

and they'll block out anything else
that's a distraction to get the answer

to that one question.

Mae, coordinates
to Olympus Town.

Navigation is unavailable.

How much
power do I have left?

At this rate of speed,
you have one hour remaining.

And if I
disengage the engine?

Vehicle will remain
operational

for three hours, seven minutes,
and 23 seconds.

Disengage engine.

I hope to God
she's still okay.

Lost count.

How many more
transformers are left?

A lot.

And any one of them being damaged
is why radio frequency's down.

Anything?

No, it's not this one.

We don't get that tower back on,
we're not going to find her beacon.

It's not this one.

No, it's not this one.

Mae, how
far have I driven?

17.4 kilometers.

But what direction?

- Navigation is unavailable.
- I know!

I was talking to myself.

They must be looking
for me by now.

I should just stay put.

Stay put, conserve as
much energy as you can.

Mae, Mae, how much power
does my suit have left?

One hour, 22 minutes.

How long will this vehicle remain
operational if I continue using heat?

Two hours
at current interior temperature,

which is 18 degrees Celsius.

Turn off interior heat.

Damn it.

Heat off.

Mae, lower suit temperature
to five degrees Celsius.

What about using
our drones to find her?

They're practically
useless at night.

Then what about contacting
Earth, or the Chinese space station,

and using their satellites?

There are only
five circling the planet.

Searching for her that way
is a needle in a haystack.

Hopefully Marta was
smart enough to

stay put and reduce
her power usage when

she realized
something was wrong.

She's got at least some
power in her suit,

for when exterior temps
drop to 70 below.

My guess is she used
most of it collecting samples.

And since the rover's battery-powered
she could have kept driving,

thinking she could find
her way back herself.

So what
are you saying?

That without navigation,

she could be miles away from
where she started,

in any direction.

She could freeze to
death before we find her.

It's so cold out
here I can barely move.

I know me too.

We need
to find this soon.

There we go. Ugh!

Are you okay?

Yeah, let's
hurry up and do this!

Yeah.
Every second counts.

Let's see
what we've got here.

Looks pretty fried, all right.

Fuses, relays.

Anything can be fixed.

It's just a question of how
long it's going to take.

Marta can't have much
battery power left in the rover.

Not right now.

I'm worried.

Yeah, me too.
For her and for Hana.

Between us, I don't think she
can handle losing anyone else.

What is it?

It's not working.

Something's wrong.

I just hope to God
we can figure it out in time.

The radiation
surge has now subsided.

Radiation exposure is
the least of Marta's problems.

If she was in the rover when the
flare hit,

then she'd be protected.

Suit level critically low.

30 seconds remaining.

I guess I don't
need this anymore.

Mae, switch on the light.

How much power
if I keep it on?

The rover
has less than 5% remaining.

It is not advisable.

Mae.

Switch the light off.

Mars is for those who
have an adventurous spirit.

And are willing to accept

a much higher level of,
of danger.

But they'd have to love
the frontier and

really want to see
what the universe is all about.

If there's a place
you've never been,

there's a scientist who wants
to know what's there.

Just a curiosity
of inquiry.

That as a general
state of mind

has taken science
to every frontier.

People ask me what I'm going
to do when I get back to real life,

but I feel like this
is the real life,

and what I do back home
is the uh,

the alternate life.

I think scientists
generally tend to

be more interested
in the natural

world than
they are in other people.

True scientists need
a degree of independence.

They spend their life in search of
data and new scientific discovery.

Day after day,
I climbed into the hills.

This was where
I was meant to be.

You have the joy of saying

I really want to know
what's out there.

Those are the explorers.

When you go work in
these remote areas,

you know, you're away from
family and friends,

and after you've had
a career of doing that,

that's a pretty big
sacrifice to make.

Being gone most of the
year, my family worries about me,

but they just accept
that this is my life.

When you're out here in the
absolute middle of nowhere, I mean,

you don't have all the
distractions of the outside world.

You know, you spend a lot of time
just reflecting on

who you are as a person
and what really matters in life.

Science outlives all of us.

Mae.

How much power left?

2% remaining.

I'm flying by IMSF.

I'm going to Mars.

This is hard.

Yeah, the cold
makes everything brittle.

No, I'm talking
about this damn planet.

Says the father
of the first Martian.

If she's even born.

Amelie's right.

This is not a place
for human beings.

You think Earth
is any less hostile?

Solar flare hits
there too, you know.

At least here there's no war,
famine, or global warming.

Yet.

Is this your
idea of a pep talk?

Well, if this doesn't make
you feel any better,

hopefully this will.

Yeah, baby.

I just hope we made
it in time for Marta.

RF's back up.

Marta, this
is Command, come in.

Marta, can you hear me?

If she's in extreme cold,
she might be unconscious.

The rover's had to
have lost power by now.

Hopefully the beacon's
still functional.

I think it is.
I've got a ping.

Oh my God,
she's in Sector 7.

We'll never make
it there in time.

I'm going to Mars.

Is this more
important than me?

This is more
important than both of us.

Don't walk away

- from me like that!
- Stop following me!

Oh, yeah, there she is.

Hey, wake up.

You coming?

Alright, come on.

What are you, um,
what are you doing here?

We're answering an
SOS from your commander.

And looking at the condition
you're in, we're going to go ahead

and let that trespassing
slide, okay? So come with us.

Come on, we're going to
get you out of here, all right?

No, no, no.

My samples.

No, it's okay, hey,
calm down, calm down, calm down.

Listen, we're going to take
them with us, all right?

We'll get
you out of here.

Jen, here,
take the damn bins.

You sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

I'm just not sure
I understand scientists.

Here.

See, we got them,
you're okay.

We got them.
Shep, let's get her out.

Here we go.
Looks like she's fading.

Get that new
oxygen pack on there.

Okay.
Yes.

We got you.

Hurry, we don't have much time!
Come on.

Hey, Marta,
stay with us!

Stay with us!

Ugh!

Science is a slow,
painful process.

I think we need
to bring it back up.

And then try to run
it back down again.

I think we're in
a plunge pool.

Ready?

So you have to have
a certain amount

of ruthlessness to just
be so interested in

solving something
that with all the

things pointing to you to give up,

that you don't give up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Things aren't going
so great for us today.

We fed the cable in a
couple of times,

but were only able to get
a couple of meters

below the water surface,
so that tells us

that we're getting
hung up on something.

Sometimes it takes trial
after trial after trial

before we finally figure out some
of way of snaking the cable in.

I'm a little frustrated
that we're stuck. Again.

In order to be a top-notch
scientist,

you'd have to be one
of these people

who's almost immune
to disappointment.

You face skepticism from
the general public,

and opposition from
people in power.

But you have to keep
doing it and

keep doing it
and keep doing it.

It's just one of those things

whereyou got to wake up
every morning and,

you know, realize that
even though

it didn't work
the last 30 times,

you're going to try something
new until you make it work.

Sometimes the answers
that we get,

uh, to the questions that we're
asking aren't really the

ones that society wants,

but we have to... keep going out,
asking questions,

trying to understand
how the planet works.

Science is the process
by which we know nature.

It is the process
by which we learn

things that control
our entire existence.

And most of the time,

I would say
it doesn't work the way you hoped.

But the more you are defeated,

the more passionate you become.

And I think those are the kind
of people we want going to Mars.

- How is she?
- She's hypothermic.

But she's still full of
piss and vinegar.

- Marta, are you okay?
- I'm fine.

Body
temperature, 29 degrees Celsius.

You're not fine,
you're severely hypothermic.

Heartrate, 47 BPM.

Come on.
My samples.

If there's any new microbial life,
those bastards need to stop drilling.

You're welcome.

She wants
you to have these.

Bring the
thermal blanket.

Let's get some
warmers on her core.

Heart rate's up.

No change in body temperature.

You're lucky
there wasn't more damage.

You're mad at me.

No, I just don't
understand you sometimes.

I mean, why would you
take such a risk?

Was it worth it?

Has to be.

It's all I have, Amelie.

Okay, prep the IVs.

It's going to be fine.

Thank you, you and your
crew, for doing what you did.

You saved her life.

Can I at least offer you a drink
or something to eat before you go?

I thought we
were banned here.

Not anymore.

Ah.

Nice.

Ah!
Oh boy.

You know, I have to admit that
I kind of miss this place.

Lukrum has some
high-end stuff,

but the one thing we
don't have is a bar.

Well, it became essential
after living underground

and in domes for years.

A place where people
can relax and

at least feel a little
less claustrophobic.

That makes sense.

Anyway,
here's to a fresh start.

Now wouldn't
that be nice.

Mm.

But.

You need to get a grip
on your people first.

Excuse me?

Look, the reality is that Marta
made some choices

that resulted in us
getting involved.

I mean, you said yourself,
we saved her life.

And as I said,
we're deeply grateful.

I don't need grateful.

But I may need a
favor at some point.

Some respect
in the meantime.

Hm.

Look, if she wanted a bag of
rocks, she could have just asked.

You could have.

Are you questioning
my leadership?

Nope.

It's just an observation.

You know, commander
to commander.

Recording.

- Hey.
- What is it?

Is Marta okay?

Yes, she will be.

Is it the baby?

No, no, no, no.

Uh,
actually it's me.

I haven't been fair to you.

I, I haven't been honest about
what I was feeling before.

And it's just that I was
so ready to leave, and...

I understand.

You are about to have a child
with a man you don't love.

No, no,
that's not true, Javier.

I-I-I never said that
I didn't love you.

It's just that I was scared that
if I let myself love you,

I wouldn't be able to leave.

But I'm not leaving now.

And I do love you.

But, I am scared.

Me too.

I hope you're
not discouraged.

The chance of a solar flare hitting
that area again is unlikely.

So many elements
have to align,

and a confluence of things
have to happen

for communications to be destroyed like
they were, and where they were.

We're just
really happy you're all well,

and that the situation
was handled properly.

Good job, Commander.

Transmission ended.

You didn't tell them
about Marta's actions,

about the danger
she put herself in,

about the fact that she could have
got herself killed out there.

No, because I think
it's punishment enough.

Thank you, lieutenant.

Hey.

I didn't
even hear you come in.

One of your techs
was leaving, it's okay.

I'm not gonna
contaminate anything.

So, how much longer
do you have to work?

Uh, well
I'm done, actually.

How much longer
can you stay?

Ten minutes, maybe.

A lot can
happen in ten minutes.

Yeah?

Can you, uh, I just
need to do one thing first.

Uh, comms, call
Med Bay, ISO room.

So I've done a quick analysis.

And?

There
are signs of life.

I knew it.

But identical to the
strain you already discovered.

I'm sorry, Marta.

I know how much this
all means to you.

How much you've sacrificed.

I truly am sorry.
