All language subtitles for Europa.Report.2013.1080p.BluRay.H264.AAC-RARBG

Hey, buddy.

Space is great.
Umm...

I miss you guys.

We're a long way away now.
I can't even see, uh--

I can't even see Earth anymore.

And, uh... It's peaceful.

You know?

Don't tell your mom this, but I think

I actually sleep...

Better up here, away from her snoring.

Over.

Tanks B-7 and B-9 are

showing early signs of freezing. Over.

What would you do if you get out there

and you find nothing?

Well, even if we found nothing,

it's in effect a discovery.

It would make me very frustrated.

I know there's something there.

Check on nav bays 3 and 4.

You might want to update...

Mission control,
repeat please. Over.

- Do you want me to show you how to beat 'em?
- Europa One.

William, I've got some static in
the comm array feed up here.

It looks like a radiation spike.

Have you tried recycling the system?

Rosa, we've lost your feed.

Europa One, come in.

Europa One.

Europa One.

These were the last images we received

from the Europa One craft.

At the time, it had already gone farther

than any human being had ever traveled before.

For 16 long months I've been asked

the simple but loaded question:
"What happened?"

All-- I'm sorry.

We have to tell his family.

We can't.

The communication fix was never completed.

The system is fried!

Last sync with mission control was 19 hours ago.

We're all alone now.

So what happens?

Do we go on?

I was on a plane,

a transatlantic flight,

when the mission feed went dark.

When I landed, mission control was still saying

"maybe it's just
a transmission delay."

But, by the time I made it into mission control,

we were looking at over 15 hours of dead feed.

After James was lost,

the joy of the mission,

the exhilaration of it all just--

it just left.

I stopped feeling like a kid on a family trip.

The mission has stretched on ahead of us,

somehow longer than it had been before.

No one at home knows we're alive.

We're doing the right thing, right?

Absolutely.

Andrei, have you looked out at Jupiter yet?

Something to be excited about.

- Are you okay?
- Mmm.

You haven't said a word to me in a week.

- I woke up one morning--
- okay.

I woke up at some point and...

Didn't recognize myself.

Objectively, I know it's the zero g

and the isolation that changes you.

But that doesn't make it any less strange.

It doesn't stop you from slowly breaking.

I started living my life

in tune with the mission
that I hoped was still going on.

- That's good.
- Okay.

How's your appetite?

I'm fine.

And you're sleeping
kind of--

I'm not.

It's been a year since we lost him.

Tell me we can still...

- Good morning. I am very--

We are all very excited to be here today.

It has certainly been a long road

and all of us up here

started with the shared dream

of space and possibility.

And this really is
a new first-step for mankind.

From one perspective,

you can say our mission
actually began 400 years ago.

That's when Galileo first saw...

...Jupiter and its moons
through his telescope.

For something this big, you get one shot.

An unmanned mission simply wasn't
going to cut it for us.

You put men and women into space

because they have strength
in the face of cosmic odds.

Europa One is cleared for launch.

T-minus 10,

nine, eight,

seven, six...

- ...five, four...
- We're go for main engine.

...three, two, one.

Ignition.

Liftoff! On the trek to Europa.

Our engines at 98% thrust.

Fuel rate is nominal.

Rolling right in zero-point-six degrees.

Telemetry nominal.

Loft at 225 meters-per-second.

Altitude, 2.3 nautical Miles.

And in three, two, one.

We have good booster separation.

Vehicle is supersonic.

Command module jettison in three,

two, one.

We have a good shell separation.

Initial burn is complete.

Staging in three,

two, one.

Copy. We have good stage separation.

We have visual of command module.

Beginning turn for docking.

Trajectory is good. Thrust is good.

We hadn't left near-Earth orbit since 1972.

Our company was tasked with moving forward

where the space programs of the 20th
century had left off.

- 10 meters to docking.
- I believe

if you have the scent of a discovery this big...

- Five meters.
- ...You do not simply wait and see what happens next.

Contact.

You go after it.

Copy. We are green on hard dock.

Locks B through d are green.

Connects are stable.
We are green on dock.

Mission control,

we are proud to report that
we are officially underway.

Roger that.

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

We've prepped some light traveling music for you.

Internal cam check is a go.

Must be peaceful up there.

External cam check is a go.

♪ Come on in!

Hello.

Please don't vote me off.

There's a camera.
What do ya know?

Reality TV.

Okay, Jamie, this is your own

personal tour of Europa One.

Oh look.
It's you, Jamie.
Hi, Jamie.

"Hi, dad."

Hey, Dan. You still upset
that you got the bottom bunk?

How'd you know I was thinking about that?
I really was

"I'm so cramped."
Look at my spacious bunk.

- Film me for a second.
- Okay.

Okay, so this is actually
one of two living quarters.

What they do is they rotate
around the core module

so this gives us simulated gravity.

But watch this.

We also get to experience

real gravity-free

space excitement.

Whoo!

And the head rush that goes with it.

- Crew meeting in one hour, guys.
- Okay.

Now the thing about zero gravity is that

it makes our bones and muscles really weak.

This is why we spend as much time as possible

in these living modules.

Yeah, okay.
Just pass it up.
I got it.

Okay. And there's
the lovely Katya.

Now these are some of the science tools

that we're using to test for life on Europa.

And your dad has to fix them if any of them break.

When you're done playing tourist,

you can come over here and help me.

If you're not afraid to chip a nail.

Now-- whoa--

- this is the cockpit.

Mission control...

...Sync.

Copy, Rosa. We have sync.

And Rosa, our pilot, used to fly jets

before she started flying us around.

And what's she doing?
She's setting up the camera system

which monitors everything that happens on the ship.

Smile for Jamie, Rosa.

And now-- last thing I want to show you--

have a look at this.

The view.

Kind of ironic, really.

So little space in here

and so much space out there.

Whoa.

As the ship passed the moon,

it had already gone farther

than any human being

had ever traveled before.

Think about that.

Across all of human history,

that moment was the farthest anyone had ever gone.

But they still had millions upon millions of Miles to go.

Our craft was heading for a moon of Jupiter

known as Europa.

This mission is riding

on the shoulders of many great men and women.

And so if we have any legacy at all,

I would hope that it would be

that we would inspire those who come after us

to keep exploring,

to keep pushing the boundaries,

to keep looking for the answers

to those
really tough questions--

who are we?

Why are we here?

Where do we come from?

And... are we alone?

For a very long time,

Europa has seemed to be just
a solid sphere of ice.

But even just looking at its surface,

there are clues, you know?

There might be water underneath the ice.

And then in the fall of 2011,

scientists realized--
they released data

showing the presence
of sub-surface lakes--

of liquid!
And-- wow!

- Wherever we have found water--

we have found life.

But what came next was, um...

Even more startling.

NASA discovered heat signatures

under an area known as the conamara chaos.

Well, they teased the idea that--

that simple mono-cellular life

in our solar system might not just be possible,

it might be probable.

I wanna go to Europa and go ice fishing.

Cut through the ice, lower a submersible,

look around, see what's there.

See what swims up to the camera lens and licks it.

If life exists on Europa,

it will be the single most profound

discovery in human history.

Dasque to mission control.
Over.

We read you, Rosa. Over.

Data sync is live.

How's everyone holding up?

I think it's potato soup.

- Get something to drink.
- Dude, why--

why would you put garlic into a space dish?

It's very rich.

- It's delicious.
- I have to say, though...

Okay, look look--
I've got another mile to go.

Not bad, eh?

What about after your run?

When are you gonna actually call someone?

None of your business.

Hey. It's time.

I should have learned mandarin before we left.

- He's probably talking about me.
- Gun it.

One, two, one, two, one, two, one...

- How did you feel?
- I said yes

before the question even sunk in.

They had to ask me four times
before I could even respond.

No trouble on the ping requests.

We see a sticking valve in v-tech.

Andrei is already working on a fix.

If it leaks anymore, we'll isolate the manifold.

Oh, and we have a series

of fuse events in Rosa's station.

Can you have the team on duty investigate? Over.

Copy that. But you might have it fixed

before we finish the review.

You're making us feel two steps behind.

Over.

You'll make him blush. Over.

Mission control, can you hear me?

Andrei is in the shower right now,

so I want to take this opportunity

to tell you that your shower
system is totally inadequate.

And I don't buy your theories about

the body adjusting to the new hygiene regime.

You know what I can't adjust to?

The drinking of the distilled urine.

Oh! James!

I'm just saying--

you're worried about my smell

and you're drinking my urine?

You know what I think
they're really pissed off about?

You guys only gave them four outfits.

So sometimes they wake up in the morning,

they find out they're wearing
the same thing the entire day.

They get totally pissed off.

- And the shoes--

You gave them two pairs of shoes

for women.
I'm just saying.

Rosa, dinner!
Where is she?

- Coming.
- Who's the lasagna?

- Yeah.
- That's you?

- Oh God.
- Who's the pod macaroni and cheese. Ish?

- I guess I'll take that.
- To six months!

- Okay, eyes. Eyes.
- Wait, you're not looking into my eyes.

Oh, sorry.

- Can I see?
- Did you see any polar bears?

No, really.

We pooled our astronauts

from the very best space programs across the globe.

Our captain is William xu.

I think this mission will show people that

we're still capable
of achieving impossible things.

Dr. Daniel Luxembourg.

My entire adult life has been dedicated

to exploring extreme environments.

I became an astronaut specifically

to have the opportunity
to do something like this.

Dr. Katya petrovna.

Life on Earth began in the ocean,
so in some ways

this mission will be like
taking a trip back in time.

My background is in marine
biology and oceanography.

To be honest, sometimes I'm terrified of flying.

Andrei blok.

I think I have 349 days in outer space,

so I'm what you call a veteran.

The only thing I can't face is...

The food.

James corrigan.

I remember watching footage at school

of Neil Armstrong on the moon,

and just-- just knowing
"I want to do this."

- Rosa dasque.
- Call me immature, reckless, arrogant.

I just want to go faster and
farther than anyone has before.

We had to design a spacecraft
unlike by any before it.

Of course, once the decision
was made to put people onboard,

the requirements ballooned.

Human beings need food, shelter.

They need an environment that is survivable

and has some level of comfort.

It's cracking the ice.

We're a month away, Andrei.

We're still concerned about your recovery.

So how should I be recovering, exactly?

Excuse me.

So what do you think?

I still wouldn't advise leaving him
in the orbiter alone for three weeks.

I'd rather not leave our only engineer behind.

So we take him down with us then.

Yeah.

Jupiter.

Being so close to our destination lifted our spirits.

It felt that everything made sense again.

The thickness in the air cleared.

But what cleared it was sheer adrenaline.

Prep for orbital transfer.

We're gonna feel some gs here.

Pitch maneuver.

We are clear of Jupiter's orbit.

Beginning orbital transfer.

Pitching for power descent.

Daniel, can you keep Andrei abreast

of any of those changes in the readouts, please?

- Roger that.
- Orbit trajectory, clear.

Current speed 60 kilometers per second.

- Ready?
- Yes.

Surface conditions in the L.Z.?

I've got heat plume and
radiation analysis incoming,

but the data is variable.
Heat is fluctuating.

Not far now.

All systems online.

Showing green light.

Landing gear armed and ready to deploy.

Ladies and gentlemen, hold on.

Here we go.

Trajectory and speed?

Heading 270.3.

Coming in low across thera macula

at 458.4 meters per second.

Target site lining up.

Landing gear deployed.

20 seconds to--

It's like a thermal vent.
Sort of an eruptive feature.

- Can you stabilize us?
- I'm trying!

Andrei, I need an option for emergency landing.

Vent's coming from the area around our target site.

There's a low gradation of ice just
past the L.Z., along thrace macula.

Okay. Land us long.
Get us past the vent area.

- 100 meters to contact
- 10 seconds of fuel.

Back off the burners on approach

or we'll melt our landing site.

Roger that. 10 meters.

- Five meters.
- Contact lights.

Shut down.

I think we've got it.

Everything okay up here?

Sorry.

I can't pull my eyes away from it.

It takes your breath away.

That night I went out

and found Jupiter in the night sky and...

I spent a long time looking at it, just...

Hoping.

Surface temp in current position

is holding at absolute zero.

Prelim service data has us on
a bed of what looks like ice 11.

We should be there, but we're here.

We flew 590 million kilometers

and then landed 100 meters off the mark.

It seems insignificant,

but it will be difficult
to get useful surface analysis.

Ironically, what threw the ship off
course from the original target zone

was a reconfirmation of what we had hoped for.

If such heat-plume eruptions were
escaping through the cracks in the ice,

it suggested strong underwater thermal
activity and the potential for life.

If they had landed on the target area

which was ripe for surface analysis,

the mission would have begun
with extensive surface tests

using the ship's robotic arm

followed by a few hours
of drilling through the ice

to deploy a remote underwater probe.

So how will that affect procedure?

What it means is we won't get
the data we want very easily.

That's why I want to move back
Daniel's surface test

and start the drill immediately.

Our best hopes of success lies under the ice.

Daniel, what do you think?

- I wanna argue...
- I'm sure you would.

...But with our current position in the ice,

we won't get key data.

Let's go for a swim.

Drill head is locked and prepped.

Beginning extension.

Thermal is live.

Entering ice layer now.

- Do you hear that?
- Uh-huh.

- Are you getting it?
- Yeah.

I think that's just the ice shifting.

We can expect more of that
as the temperature drops.

That was stronger than our data projected it.

- Are we stable?
- Re-working the analysis now.

Katya, let's try the frequency of these quakes.

Increased Tidal activity means

there could be more heat than we
thought beneath the surface.

- You're recording this?
- Yeah.

Okay, let's run some diagnostics here,

because it seems to be escalating a little bit.

Might be some subsurface aftershocks...

You saw it.

You got to check out this activity.

- It's incredible.
- Everything's fine here.

What about the E.C.S.?

- How about the hull and landing gear?
- You see this?

- Check out the activity. Incredible.
- Yeah, no deflection.

- E.C.S.?
- E.C.S. Okay.

No problems here.

Guys, I saw something.

What do you mean?

Uh, umm...

I saw something outside the ship.

From up there, through the porthole.

Maybe 100 meters out.

I tried to get a video, but I missed it.

It was a light down the linea.

I was working one of the
servers when the ice shook.

And... it was there.

- A light source outside the ship?
- I know that I saw it.

- It was flickering.
- How strong was the light?

Well...

It was like an l.E.D.,

but dull from refraction.

But the--
oh, it happened so fast.

It was there and then it was gone.

You mean it moved?

Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it moved.

I can check the heat signatures.

Do you see anything?

I've checked this footage three times.

- There's nothing to see.
- Yeah,

but that doesn't mean there was nothing there.

If it was too dim, these cameras
wouldn't have caught it.

That's true. A weak chemiluminescence maybe?

Triggered by shifts in the ice?

A chemical iridescence doesn't fit this description.

Maybe. When we prepare the surface test, we'll know.

I find the idea of bacteria clinging to
the underside of the ice more likely.

Something that has a luminescent
response to radioactivity.

Yeah, but do you think it actually moved?

Scientifically I doubt it.

Wait, did you notice that?

What?

Radiation interference.

It's on all the cameras.

I think there's another version
of this that we have to consider.

It's entirely possible Andrei
didn't see anything at all.

It's very dark out there and his mind
could be filling in the blanks.

But it could also be our first indication

of exactly what we came out here to find.

- Is Andrei sleeping yet?
- No.

In those days there was a raw--

a raw mix of emotions.

We'd come so far, weathered so much.

I think we were all in a place

where excitement blended with awe...

And fear.

Okay, so Daniel is my witness.

You find a single microbe up there and I win.

If you find a still-living microbe, you win.

What? Evidence of extinction
doesn't win me the bet?

You always find a technicality like that

- for winning.
- No no no. It's not a technicality.

It means that at some point
in time we were not alone.

It is a technicality.

- Daniel.
- What?

What are you doing, buddy?
What's happening?

- You lost something?
- I lost my toothbrush.

- What?
- He's unpacking his entire bunk.

- We have to return to Earth.
- We better call housekeeping.

You should get some rest.

Not until I know what I saw out there.

We're working on it.

We'll figure it out.

What if I can't believe or trust my own eyes?

You need to sleep.

We need you to sleep.

There's pills, sedatives.

No pills.

I need to stay alert.
I need to stay focused.

How are you holding up?

Good.

We've broken through.

Water.

Probe microphone live.

Wow. This is a completely untouched environment.

Just waiting.

Hmm.

We're so far from home, but...

It's like looking at lake vostok right now.

Radiation levels down here are minimal.

And there's definitely a heat source
somewhere in our target zone.

122 meters
to heat-plume area.

There's 100 kilometers of water down there.

It puts the trench zones back on Earth to shame.

I think we're seeing some tectonic plates here.

The sulfur concentration is showing

that the thermal vents are closer than expected.

Creepy.

That's your scientific assessment, is it?

- Yep.
- "Creepy"?

Is that the weathering of the ice?

Maybe.

Could be a bacteria.

Grabbing samples

and... moving on.

20 meters to target zone.

Look at how the sunlight penetrates the ice here.

It must be much thinner than we thought.

You hear that?

It could be coming from reverberations,

deeper caverns caught in currents.

It's almost like a male whale sound.

Hey, a little presumptuous, don't you think?

- Maybe.
- Oh yeah.

I've got some irregularities in our data here.

I'm getting a radiation spike.

Rosa, are you picking up on this?

There's something in the video feed too.

It's similar to what we saw
after the last ice shift.

That doesn't make any sense.

The ice should be shielding
the probe from radiation.

It's not coming from above.

It's coming from deeper into the target zone.

Yeah.

Let's adjust course and depth to investigate.

Bringing us down.

What was that?

What's our temperature down here?

Get ready to expand the probe arm

to get samples.

What was that?
Oh shit.

Cycle power.

All right, let's run some tests.

There was an abnormal shift

in the velocity of the current.

- It's not reacting.
- Is it a remote issue?

- I've lost control of it.
- Shit.

Can you play back the video?

Did something hit the probe?

- What data do we have?
- It'll take time to process,

but I'll tell you right now, not much.

It seemed like it was right under the probe.

What was the last bits of data it saved?

The heat surged 50°,

but that couldn't have caused a critical...

Shit!

A surface walk was always heavily debated

at all stages of our mission planning.

And our main concern then
was the radiation from Jupiter.

I will walk to the target zone

and I'll get the body of samples we need.

Katya, the radiation alone--

the radiation is fluctuating.

It was 200 ram last time I checked.

I'm willing to take that risk.

- What about everything else that could go wrong?
- It's 100 meters!

Having lost the probe, the only way to get the data

was to explore the chaos zones

where the ice had cracked
and re-cracked.

And this process would expose any microorganisms

that have been trapped inside the ice.

Somebody's gotta go out there!

- It's too risky.
- Enough! Enough!

I feel like it's a critical
phase and I'm not there.

- I just--

I just didn't realize it would be this hard.

Over.

Sounds like a car.

You know take him to the game, if you want.

Umm...

I miss you guys.
Love you.

Over.

You okay?

Yeah, I am good.

I'm good.

Not so easy, is it?

No.

No, it's not.

You know, my boy's gonna be
six when I see him again.

He's gonna be proud of you.

What would you do

if you get out there and you find nothing?

Well, even if we found nothing,

it's in effect a discovery.

It would make me very frustrated.

I know there's something there.

Check on nav bays 3 and 4.

Mission control,
repeat please. Over.

William, I've got some static
in the comm array feed up here.

It looks like a radiation spike.

Have you tried recycling the system?

Rosa, we've lost your feed.

Come in, Europa One.

Europa One, come in.

Come in, Europa One.

Europa One, come in.

Europa One.

Europa One, Europa One, do you--

Now try as you might to prepare for everything,

there will always be that unknown element.

In this case a solar storm hit,

damaging key systems, including
communication with mission control.

Okay. Oxygen is flowing.
We're good.

This never gets old.

Okay, commencing egress.

William, I'm gonna tether the emus

once we're...
On the hull.

Roger that.

Andrei and James had to do

an e.V.A.
To repair the system--

a bit like performing ballet
and rocket science

at 125,000 Miles an hour.

This reminds me of the iss thrust fix all over again.

5 hours, 13 minutes remaining on Eva.

You know what time it is back on Earth?

Battery block D is non-functional.

2 hours 55 minutes.

All right, I've got green lights
on the fan arrays.

How are we doing on the comm power supply?

So I said to the guy, "you know,

I can't just come along
and stay as long as you want.

You have to tell me
how long it's gonna take."

Okay, guys, 50 minutes remaining on Eva.

I can't keep you out there much longer.

Panels one through six are clear.

Moving onto seven.

We just need a little more time, William.

I think it's a blown fuse
in the communication panel.

You've got 37 minutes.

If you don't find it,
we'll need to begin regress.

Okay we're at the communication panel.

Opening up the door.

What do you got, Andrei?

James, get a look at this.

Whoo.

The receptors are shot.

Yeah, William, the whole board is fried.

I gotta take the pins out.

Okay.

Taking out the first pin.

Come on.

And first pin is clear.

Going for number two.

Proceed.

Come on.

Shit.

It's not coming.

Okay. William,
we've got a frozen pin.

Okay, guys, leave that last panel for now.

What do you think?

We can't tell how bad it is till we get in there.

You sure, man?
You don't want to put heat on there first?

- It just feels--
- the damage could spread.

- Okay.
- What the hell is going on out there?

Okay. I'm set.

Come on.

Ah! Shit!
It snapped.

The panel snapped.

I ripped my glove.

I ripped--

It's okay. Andrei's okay.

- We're tethered.
- It's a tear of one inch.

- I've cut my skin.
- I got him hooked to me.

Andrei, do not attempt
to climb back in on your own.

- James?
- I see him, I see him.

I got him.
I'm going for him. Hang on.

- It's a small rip.
- Take it easy.

- Just relax big guy.
- Keep calm, Andrei.

- I'm bleeding.
- Save your oxygen.

He's losing air, but he's got his hand on it.

I got you.

- I got you.
- Oxygen pressure is dropping steadily.

You don't have much time.

James, listen to me.

His oxygen level is red-lighting.

Get him back inside the ship.

Okay.

We're at the lock.
I'm coming in.

Stop, don't go in.

- Why?
- There's something on your suit.

It's hydrazine.

Uh, guys, we've got a problem.

I've got hydrazine on my suit.

It must have hit me when we popped the panel.

He's covered in it.

It's in the seams.
It's-- it's everywhere.

- What can we do to decontaminate?
- We can't.

If we bring him in, the air on
the ship will become toxic.

Come on.
Shit.

We should get him in the lock,
get a V-cam reading.

We can't.
There'd be too much risk of lingering contamination.

We gotta figure out a way to get the suit clean.

It's not coming out.

I'm totally screwed.

Andrei, get in the lock.

We need to depressurize your suit now.

Then we'll figure out how to get James in.

Seriously?!

Come on, man, I got--

I've got 20 minutes of oxygen.

Is there no way to get it clean?

- Andrei.
- I'm not going in.

I'll get you out of the suit...

- What?
- ...Into the airlock.

You'll be out of the suit less than two minutes.

- It's survivable.
- Is that even possible?

I'll get you out of this.
I'll fix it.

No. Andrei,
you're gonna black out.

- No, I'm not.
- This isn't gonna work.

- We're going to lose them both.
- James, he's fading.

You have to get him in the lock.

Okay. Shit.

Rosa, close the airlock now!

James is no longer attached to the hull.

- I said close the lock!
- Rosa, close the lock!

Airlock is closed.

Oxygen is flowing.
Repressurization in 10 minutes.

This is insane.
You gotta go get him.

We can't. By the time
we get there, he'd--

James?

Yeah yeah yeah,
I'm here. Umm...

Oh, Christ, I can't...

I'm gone.

Oh shit.

Is Andrei okay?

Yeah. He's okay.

I'm sorry, James.

Don't be sorry.

It was an accident, you know?

Um...

I-- I don't have much time,
so tell Andrei...

Tell Andrei he's a--

He's a crazy son of a bitch, you know?

And I love him for trying
to save my life and...

If that had been Jamie, I...

I love you so much.

Forgive me.

I thought I was trying to do
something great for mankind.

I always said it was worth the risk but...

Forgive me for--
for hurting you.

A part of me wishes I could just
float out here forever, you know?

I can't s--
I can't see anything.

I can't see any...

It's stupid to argue like this.

Katya, no way you can go out
there without us behind you.

And, William, with all due respect,

I think we should all decide
together how to do this.

I know what you think, William.

What about you, Daniel?

It's ill-advised.

A surface walk was always a question mark.

Well, we can do it.
I'll walk the equipment out

and you can run the analysis from here.

We can get what we came for.

And if she goes out there
and we never see her again?

Think hard about that.

I think she should do it.
I'm sorry, William.

Thank you.

- Andrei?
- It's too dangerous.

I vote no.
Absolutely.

So that's a tie then.

Rosa?

Katya made our complete cosmic insignificance

seem like a call to arms.

What can I say?

She was right.

She's still right.

Two hours of e.V.A.

210 meters out.

Search the top layer of ice

while Daniel runs analysis back here.

Copy that.

Be careful.

Compared to the breadth
of knowledge yet to be known,

what does your life actually matter?

30 minutes for depressurization.

Batteries live.

Switching to battery power.

Pressure's at 30 kpa.

How's your prep?

30 seconds to egress.

Good luck.

I'm ready. ( Sighs )

I can't believe I'm here.

We're here.

This is incredible.

Radiation is holding steady.

We're at 50 millisieverts per hour--

- within acceptable limits.
- I'll check

if I can see her from upstairs.

It's so still out here.

It's so--
I don't know what the word is.

Creepy?

I was going to go with "cosmically outstanding."

I wish I could take one of these
gloves off and touch the ice.

- Really feel it.
- Please don't.

I have visual of her from here.

I'm heading towards the target zone now.

We've got your back.

Life support systems look good.

Okay, Katya, you are crossing

into the target zone.

You see that?

Where the ice is less deteriorated?

Just set up in the middle of that.

- Here?
- Exactly.

She must have been out there for an hour.

But it-- it felt
like an eternity.

Each minute seemed to

divide and divide again
into endless moments.

First sample ready for scan.

Sending data back to you now.

Are you reading?

Running analysis, stand by.

We're negative for trace carbon
and chemotropic processes.

Can you try ice with more trace rust?

You could feel...

Every minute is somehow longer

than it had ever been before.

- Let's give it another shot.
- Why don't you take

the equipment down the linea to zone three?

Radiation is trending upwards, Katya.

You've been out there 70 minutes.

We're so close.

How much time can you give me, William?

You've only got time
for a few more sample sets.

All right, Katya, it's time to come back.

Okay.

I'm digging out
a sub-surface sample

that isn't radiation blasted.

Are you guys seeing this?

Here.

I'm getting imaging... now.

It's a unicellular organism,

something akin to an algae.

I knew it.

- What is it?
- I don't know for sure, but...

I mean, it's not like it has a name.

It looks like something precambrian to me.

That's my first guess
on an Earth-based analogue.

I don't believe it.

We did it.

Okay, Katya, let's get you back into the ship

- and sort out this data.
- Packing up.

I hope the champagne's ready.

Look at that.

Do you guys read that light in the distance?

We're not reading anything.

It looks like some kind of chemical iridescence.

I'm going to get closer to investigate.

Reserve oxygen will give her another 90 minutes.

Okay, Katya.

Proceed with caution.

I can't see her.

She's moving farther out.

It's beautiful.

Andrei.
This looks like

it could be the light you were describing.

I can see it again.

Can you check on my readouts?

It's-- it's-- it's--

it's hard to say.

I mean maybe there's other microbial organisms

out there that eat through the ice.

This is a much more complex ecosystem

than we'd previously thought.

I wanna see if it's reacting to my lights.

I'm going to turn them off.

I'm going to get closer.

Hold that action, Katya.

Katya, do you read me?

We have severe electromagnetic interference.

Did you see that?

She has to come back.

...have visual.

I'm going to try to get it back.

I'm seeing it through the ice.

I think it's some sort of bioluminescence.

We've got the data, Katya.

Heat radiation levels are moving with it.

I can't wrap my head around this.

Okay, the ice is thin here,

but it seems stable.
If I get close,

- I should be able to get a better look.
- Keep your line open.

I want to know what's
happening out there.

The ground is not stable!

The ice is breaking.

Katya, can you hear me?
Come back to the ship now!

It's cracking the ice!

My foot is...

- Katya, do you read me? Come in!
- Get her back in!

- Get her back in!
- Katya, come in. Do you read me?

- She's not listening.
- Rosa, do you see her out there?

Nothing. Just the ice.

- She's under the ice.
- What?

Under the water.

We've still got her helmet cam.

Whatever it was,

it was reacting to the light on her helmet.

That's the behavior of a complex organism.

The logs, the data--

they don't show any proof of complex life.

We can't leave until we have that.

We don't know how long we'll be stable here.

And we've lost two of our crew.

If we never leave,

no one on Earth will ever
know what we discovered.

I agree.

We need to leave now.

When the next launch window opens, we take off.

Mmm.

I want all the data
secured and double-checked...

Especially everything Katya found.

- T-minus 32 seconds to liftoff.

Prepping for ascent ignition.

Orbital sync is established.

Docking operation in t-minus eight minutes.

- Give me a systems check.
- Engine temperature's rising.

Andrei?

Booster 3 is stuck at 30%.

We've got to launch now.

Launch in three, two, one.

What the hell?

I can't keep it steady.

Our trajectory is way off course.

Injectors are melting!

We've got engine mixture ratio errors

in engines two and three.

- We're nowhere near orbital transfer!
- Hey!

I can try to correct course at apogee.

- The vernier thrusters might do it!
- We need to shut

- the valves down!
- Get us back down on the surface.

- What?
- Don't engage the second burn.

You mean crash us?

What's happening up there?

Valves dow...

2,000 meters.

1900.

I can't keep it steady.

- ...still dropping!
- ...Coming in too fast!

What are you doing?
William!

- William!
- I'm going to slow us down.

I'm going to blow the water shielding.

It'll create... thrust!

- Brace for impact!
- 200 meters!

Andrei? Andrei?

- Huh?
- Wake up, wake up!

William?

Okay.

He's dead.

He saved us.

Europa wasn't ready to let us go yet.

It quickly became apparent that

we crashed into the original landing zone.

Ironic, I suppose.

This zone was much warmer,

much more active than any
previous data had suggested.

Underwater vents had rendered the ice brittle

and unstable and constantly shifting

and then you add onto that

William had jettisoned the water shielding

on descent and that had saved them,

but it also left them

dangerously exposed to radiation.

We're leaking oxygen.

And we're also losing heat--

three degrees since I started checking.

If I would bet, we'd freeze before we suffocate.

The exterior light should be working.

Daniel, can you check?

- Daniel?
- I am.

It's not good.

The ice is cracking under the ship.

You can almost see the ice/water interface.

We're gonna be under the ice
in a matter of hours.

Our last shot is docking with the orbiter...

And using its back-up
life support systems.

If the propulsion system is still alive...

I can get us into orbit.

Come help me.

It's pointless.

Is this what you're looking for?

Yeah.
Thank you.

Shit!

- Are you all right?
- The ice broke through.

This is it.
It's happening.

It's the end.

We'll find a way.

We have to.

The fuel line is partially frozen.

That caused the loss of thrust.

We're lodged in the ice.

Can we even take off properly?

If we time it right, maybe.

Two hours is the fastest we can fix it,

but that is if...

Two of us is working on it.

- You mean the three of us?
- No.

You have to stay inside, prep engines.

The fix must happen outside the ship.

That was that.

Are you ready?

Are you?

Daniel and Andrei entered the airlock

for final
de-pressurization.

Here.

Two hours.

Then I'll see you both
back here. Yeah?

And that...

...brings us to now.

If we don't make it...

This record...

One day...

Just in case.

Just in case.

Depressurization complete.

Pressure is 25 kilopascals.

I'll go first,

make sure the ice is stable.

Beginning egress.

Roger that.

System signals are strong.

Hatch is open.

Oh shit.

The ladder is a bit skewed,

but I think I can make it.

The ice beneath the ship is cracked,

but it looks sturdy.

Taking my first step now.

Be careful.

We're picking up the same radiation signature.

Okay.
Taking my first step now.

I am on the ice.

Oh God.
I can feel it...

Daniel? Daniel?!

- Do you read me?
- Daniel?!

Daniel? Andrei?

Talk to me!

Rosa, shut off the exterior lights.

- Turn off the exterior lights!
- Okay.

I'm getting nothing.

His Mike is dead.
His camera is dead.

He just vanished.

Do you read me?

What the hell is going on out there?

I don't know.

What?

I lost him. I lost him.

The ice cracked beneath him.

Daniel? Daniel?

He was surrounded by lights,

then he was gone.

Tell me...

Tell me we can still patch the fuel line.

Andrei?
Say something.

- Andrei?
- We can't.

There's one thing still worth trying.

The communication array
is still salvageable.

I can fix it if I take parts

from the life support.

I don't know.

Can you still prep data sync?

Rosa, we can do this.

How will I know when?

When I remove life support batteries

you'll lose power in the command module.

Then data sync...

Keep talking to me.

Keep the line open.

It's dark.

It's not gonna be easy.

Andrei?

I've lost your camera again.

- Can you hear me?
- Uh-huh.

- Okay.
- It's not far.

Camera's back up.

10 paces...

Andrei?

Come on, come on.

Andrei, I can see the light behind you.

Hurry, please.

I can see water under the ship.

Come on, hold on.

Another malfunction.

I need to check the drives.

Work, please.

- It's just one more tweak and I'm done.
- Andrei?

Do you read me?
Do you read me?!

There's a cabinet in the cockpit...

...That I've been working with.

Join the wires...

And the systems will start.

Command module is just about dead.

We're losing cameras here.

I'm moving to the--

Andrei?

I'm connecting the wires.

Almost there.
Almost there.

Rosa, it's working! It's working!

Oh God.
We're running out of time!

Communications are up.

You did it!

You need to see this!
Are you getting this?!

The luminescence is all around the ship now!

The exterior cameras are dying.

Can you hear me?

Andrei?

The ship is sinking into the ice!

Oh!

Andrei?

Do-- do you read?
Andrei?

Andrei, do you read?

Talk to me.
Talk to me.

Andrei, talk to me!

Compared to the breadth
of knowledge yet to be known...

...what does your life actually matter?

In those final moments,

knowing communication had been re-established,

Rosa chose to open the airlock.

I got the call at 3:00 A.M.

Telling me that communication
had been re-established.

By the time I got into our mission control

our servers were flooded
with images of our crew.

Our mission had finally come back to us.

We saw the sacrifices
they made for each other

to keep the mission alive,

to push the discovery further.

And that final image--

startling.

Terrifying.
Completely beyond

our wildest theoretic models.

The discovery of this creature

is simply extraordinary.

We now know that our universe

is far stranger, far more alive

than we had ever imagined.

The crew of Europa One

changed the fundamental context

in which all of humanity
understands itself.

I don't know what greater measure of success

they could have achieved.

- Is this smiling? Smiling?
- Wet your lip.

- Yeah.
- Uh-huh.
