Previously on pioneer one.

This man has been to Mars?

For now they're calling him Yuri.

I'm to be your liaison with
the Canadian government.

The base in calgary is being
placed under a strict quarantine.

I shouldn't be here.

This kid just isn't possible.

They have to stop treating him
like he's a normal human being.

He's going to need a lot
more care than I can deliver.

What did I do? What's the matter?

Nothing...

Nothing, can we just lay here for a minute?

Yeah, sure.

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

What about you?

My job.

That's what you're thinking about?

Yeah. Sorry, is that bad.

What about it?

I'm afraid I'm going to get stuck there.

I really like working with kids, but.

I don't know.

Never mind.

- No what? What were you going to say?
- Nothing.

- You're a liar, you were about to say...
- No.

You were about to say you
don't know what you want.

Shut up! It's...

Maybe.

- I don't like this game.
- Stop playing it then.

I don't know. I guess there's not a huge
demand for someone in child development

with a not-quite-degree in Russian lit.

Really? - It might be the hospital.

Yeah, sorry, I have to take this.

Hello?

They say you're doing better.

Do you even understand English?

When I was a kid, I didn't
do a lot of talking either.

I had a stuttering problem.

A bad one.

I kept quiet a lot of the
time, because when I spoke

people wouldn't take me seriously.

It went away when I got older, thank god,

and now you can't shut me up!

I can't imagine what
your life has been like

what you've seen.

I've dreamt about your home...

And now look at you laying here.

I have to go now.

I hope I wasn't bothering you.

How long were you standing there?

Not long.

Looks like I'm not the only
one having trouble sleeping.

Sleep.

I don't think I'll be doing
much of that any time soon.

Yeah.

He said anything yet?

Not a word.

Yeah, well, I don't blame him.

I probably wouldn't have much
to say either. He must be terrified.

And he has every reason to be.

Why do you say that?

He may have survived one of the
most hellish environments imaginable, but

you know what must be even worse?

Other people.

Pioneer one - 1x03.

Are you sure it's a good idea to
keep bringing in new people like this?

This is still supposed
to be a secret, right?

It won't remain a secret forever.

You got a better idea how to
handle this situation, now's the time.

You're the boss of this operation.

Let me ask you.

Say I wanted to get off
the base for a couple hours.

A little difficult with the quarantine.

There's got to be some way. You've got
all those supply trucks coming in and out.

You realize this is your own
quarantine you're trying to break, right?

Bend. Not break.

The most important thing
is we keep the kid safe.

I'm not sick with anything, are you?

I don't suppose you care to
tell me where you're going?

Not really, no.

We're supposed to be working together. If
something's going on, I'm the guy you tell.

You're right.

I'll tell you something when
there's something to tell.

Ms. Campbell?

This definitely isn't the children's ward.

He's been in shock
since they brought him in.

Can he talk?

There's nothing
physically inhibiting speech

far as we can tell.

I told them you know Russian.

I know a little, but I'm
not sure I know enough to

I wouldn't have suggested they bring you
in if I didn't think you could handle it.

Frankly, there's no one who's
really qualified to handle this.

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

You'll be fine.

We just need someone to
stay with him. Talk to him.

You can do that fine.

They told you where he came from?

Yeah.

You don't seem phased by it.

When two guys come to your door in
the middle of the night wearing sunglasses

you believe whatever they tell you.

That's another reason I suggested you.

Because I'm a pushover?

Because you don't judge.

Doctor?

Doctor Walzer?

Sorry, yes, come in!

I was getting lost in it.

It helps me concentrate.

I was once part of a conference on SETI,

the search for
extra-terrestrial intelligence

we were discussing what
our response would be

if we actually ever received
an extra-terrestrial signal.

More than one person suggested music.

Our capacity for beauty through music

represented the best
that humanity has to offer.

My music career ended when
I quit the trumpet in 7th grade

and the world was a better place for it.

Let me ask you, doctor...

You ever been married?

Once.

I have a dog now.

Less messy. You?

Me? No.

What happened if you don't mind me asking?

This isn't going into some
kind of a report on me, is it?

No, no report.

Nothing much to tell,
really. Same old story.

She got the house, I got the dog.

Laika.

After the first dog the
Soviets sent into space.

Everyone remembers sputnik, but

hardly anyone remembers sputnik 2.

They sent the first dog in orbit and

made another historic space first.

Also the first death.

They figured out a way
to get her up there but

they didn't figure out a
way to get her back down.

She died in orbit.

True story.

I'll be in the mess hall.

Have you seen this?

Google Mars?

The whole planet, right here.

Looking for a needle in a haystack?

More like a grain of sand on a beach.

If we're going back there,

we're gonna have to narrow
down the most likely landing sites.

Going back?

Yeah...

That what this is all for, right?

There's no reason not to now.

- Now there's a reason to go.
- What reason would that be?

The parents.

They might still be alive.

Assuming we can take
all of this at face value

have you stopped to consider

why they would risk sending
their only child back to earth?

Yeah, I have. Why
wouldn't they go with him?

Maybe they couldn't go with him.

Maybe they were running out of resources

and it came down to one of two options:

Either survive for as long as
they could, and eventually die,

or risk everything

to send someone back.

My name is Jane.

Or...

Jay.

Here we are.

You know, I had a feeling
you might not be too talkative.

I actually do this with the kids sometimes.

Not that you're a kid really, but...

It's to draw.

Maybe you'll be inspired later.

Did your parents ever
tell you stories growing up?

Like bedtime stories?

Once upon a time

in a faraway land

there was a king.

A tzar,

and he had the most magnificent garden...

And in the garden there was an
apple tree that grew the most delicious

juicy golden apples
anybody had ever tasted.

But every night

a firebird would swoop down from the sky

and steal a few of the golden apples.

Well, this made the tzar very angry,

and he ordered his two oldest sons

to capture the firebird and
bring it back to him, promising

half his kingdom to whichever one did.

The king's youngest son, Ivan,

begged to go with them.

Please, dad, I know I can capture the
firebird, and I'll make you so proud of me.

Ivan was the youngest
and the weakest of his sons

but against his better judgment...

So he offered to help
him find the firebird.

I hate to have to do
it, but that's it for now.

It's a really good ending too.

If you want to hear the
rest, you gonna have

to draw something on that
piece of paper over there.

I'll be back in a little bit, okay?

I was looking for the mess
hall. They said it was down here.

Yep, you found it.

Not much to look at.

- Is there any coffee?
- I think in the carafe over there.

I don't know how hot it is though.

Thanks.

I heard they were gonna turn this
whole base into a mall before we got here.

I kinda wish they had. I could really
go for a smoothie right about now.

That would be nice.

Do you mind if I chill
out here for a while?

No.

I just came down here
to read for a little bit,

but I'm pretty sure I've been staring at
the same page for like twenty minutes.

Anything interesting?

I'm doing research on the history
of the Soviet space program.

Sounds like a blast.

Is that a rocket joke?

Uh, sure...?

Sorry, what is your name
again? I'm... Jane Campbell.

Adlai DiLeo.

Adlai?

A bit of an unusual name, right?

Well I'm just a plain Jane.

Adlai Steven DiLeo.

My parents named me after adlai Stevenson

a guy who ran for president three times and

lost.

Three times.

That's

cool... - Yeah.

Kids at school especially thought so.

You're the

nurse they brought in?

That's me.

How is our little cosmonaut?

He is quiet and more
than a little freaked out.

Sounds about right.

How'd you get caught up in this?

I

Work with kids with terminal
cancer at a children's hospital.

I used to intern for doctor Bertram
and I guess he thought I could help.

To be honest... I'm completely overwhelmed.

I've never been involved
in anything like this before.

Well

none of us have.

In case you hadn't noticed
we're not exactly the a-team here.

More like a

pass/fail team.

I don't mean this in a bad way; You don't
strike me as the homeland security type.

No offense, you just...

No, you're not the only one.

I guess I just like the idea
of helping to protect people.

Worrying about the
big stuff so that people

can just get on with
their lives, you know?

- I know this sounds stupid and cheesy...
- No, it doesn't actually.

No, I totally understand.

You do? - Yeah.

Did you draw this?

Well, I don't know what
it is. Can you tell me?

We'll hang it on the
fridge down in the mess.

So, I guess a deal's a deal.

Anyway

Ivan returned to the kingdom and
he told his father what it happened.

The tzar was furious!

He threw the two older brothers
in prison for the rest of their lives.

And Ivan and the Princess were married.

They inherited the kingdom.

Including the apple tree.

And they lived happily ever after.

Or something.

I guess there are a
lot of holes in that story.

Compound fracture of the ulna,

multiple fractures at his wrist.

Good news is we don't need surgery.

How'd this happen?

Jane says that he just bumped
his arm against the bed railing

and started screaming, that's all.

The idea of having someone watch him is
to make sure things like this don't happen.

- She's the best you got?
- Given the circumstances? Hell, yes.

She can handle it.

Then explain to me how the
kid broke his arm lying in bed.

Osteoporosis.

This isn't a 90-year-old
woman we're dealing with here.

Astronauts experience
severe loss in bone density

after extended periods at zero gravity

mimicking the symptoms of osteoporosis.

Plausible.

Unless he is a 90-year-old woman,
it's the only plausible explanation.

How's Jane?

She's a little spooked.

A word or two from you might be helpful.

She couldn't have know that
anything like this could happen.

Actually, yes, she could have

if we would all get on the
same page and start believing

that Yuri is actually from Mars

like all the evidences say he is.

Okay, I'm gonna need you to start preparing
a brief of everything we know so far.

Pros and cons.

One other thing?

Before he broke his arm

Jane got him to scribble this.

- What is it?
- I'm a doctor, not a cryptographer.

Anyone?

Okay, let's lay all our
cards out. Where are we at?

I've been doing all the research I can on
the history of the Soviet space program.

I haven't found anything that even
hints at a manned mission to Mars.

And as near as I can tell,
the capsule that Yuri arrived in

was never designed for anything like that.

Irrelevant.

The observatory images show the
capsule coming from deep space.

The Soviets have always used tried
and proven hardware to get results.

Sputnik 2. - Exactly.

NASA spent billions on a space pen
and the Russians just used a pencil.

- Media?
- Quieter since the press conference

but they're still trying to
poke holes in the story.

And the protesters outside
have started attracting cameras.

What protesters? - There's a small group

gathered outside the
north entrance into the base.

When were you gonna tell me?

We have them secured beyond
the perimeter. Nothing to worry about.

What are they protesting?

Some signs are protesting
nuclear proliferation for some reason,

take your best guess on that one.

Others are angry about American
involvement in Canadian affairs,

but cable news is mainly
focusing in the ufo crazies.

They seem to think we
have roswell part two in here.

Okay, let's keep it at that.

It's 21:00.

Yeah, okay. Everyone
keep doing what you're doing.

I'd like access to see the capsule.

Find agent Larson.

Tell her I cleared it.

South entrance.

How you doing?

Alright.

You know, it wasn't your fault. - I know.

Good.

But listen, the thing is

I really don't think I'm the
person you want for this.

There must be a million people more
qualified to handle something like this.

Sure, maybe, but

circumstances being what they are
you're the one that's here right now.

That's going to have
to do, if you're up for it.

I really need a yes or a no.

Yes.

You're sure?

Are you?

We'll follow the supply
truck on the way out.

We? - Yeah, you're driving.

If it's all the same
I'd prefer to go alone.

I don't care if you're
going grocery shopping.

My base, my rules, my country.

Fine.

I don't have time to argue.

That's a change.

I hope you like motown...

- Doctor, what do you need?
- I was looking for Taylor, is he around?

No, he's out, what do you need?

May I? - Please.

Thank you for getting me
clearance to see the capsule.

You're welcome.

I think I found something interesting.

That's... - The same pattern

as the drawing Yuri made.

Good eye, doctor. Do
you know what it means?

The one on the right is Yuri's drawing.

The one on the left is how
Mars appears in the night sky

over a thirty night period
during martian opposition.

That's when Mars and the
earth are the closest together.

It seems to move backward in the night sky

because at this point the earth
is overtaking Mars in its orbit.

If this is how Mars

appears in the night sky on earth...

Then this is how the earth

would appear from the surface
of Mars during the same period.

Interesting, but what does it mean?

If we can get the declination
angle from the horizon

and maybe even a rough time period

we can tell between what latitudes

they were on the planet.

Nice work, doctor.

A little more evidence
for the "pro" column.

It's more than that. - What do you mean?

It means we can go back and find them.

We didn't drive almost
three hours for coffee.

Wait here.

Hey.

Hi.

Never seen that tie before.

So?

Tom, do you wanna tell me why
you had me drive all the way up here?

You been watching the news?

Yeah, what's going on?

Something came down, we're
working up here with the Canadians.

It's cold.

I'm tired...

The reason I wanted you
to meet me up here, the

thing I couldn't say over the phone is

that I wanted to ask you to marry me.

What is going on up here?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Yuri?

You can understand me, can't you?

I'm so sorry about your arm.

Everything feels,

so small, all of a sudden.

I don't know how else to explain it.

I feel so alone.

You must feel alone too.

But I'm here.

And you're here.

Maybe we can help each other.

What do you think about that?

Next time on pioneer one.

We got a problem. - I am not a fool.

Do not talk to me like one.

Suppose this guy actually
did come back from Mars.

How do we cover ourselves?

There must be some way to take advantage
of the relationship you have with him.

- Has he been angling for this all along?
- No, I don't think I'm that cynical.

I'm exactly that cynical.
