(MACHINE WHIRRING)

(DIGITAL TRILLING)

(AUTOMATED VOICE) Hello, John.

You are emerging

from deep hibernation.

You are aboard the spacecraft

Odyssey-1, bound for Titan.

Please be careful.

The drugs used

to induce hibernation

can produce mild side-effects,

including confusion, nausea,

dizziness and disorientation.

You are nine months, one day

and 18 hours

into your mission.

(GROANS SOFTLY)

You're awake! Good.

sh*t, shower, shave,

come on, shake a leg!

(SIGHS)

(AUTOMATED VOICE) Initiate

manual operating system.

Nash!

How are we on

artificial gravity?

All spun on 1.01 G's.

Thrusters spent 2%

less fuel than needed.

Excellent!

John, we have an incoming

video message from Ground.

Will you tee it up

for us, please?

Yes, sir.

SAM: Good morning Odyssey-1!

Sam Napier here

from Houston, Texas.

As I speak,

it's Thursday, 23 December,

ten o'clock in the morning

Central Standard Time.

May I be the first

to wish you happy holidays.

Now, we've reviewed

Odyssey's data,

and everything looks

five by five our end,

so this message will be brief.

We'd like you to run some

routine equipment checks

and then back to sleep.

Oh, yes, I need

to stress the importance

of doing your

psych evaluation.

This is the most

effective way we have

to monitor

your cognitive status.

Two more cycles

before Jupiter-orbit,

and then the small matter

of gravitational slingshot,

which will be upon us

before we know it.

This is Sam Napier

at Mission Control.

Over and out.

Was that okay?

Let's get this done.

NASH: Let's see here.

Oxygen level, okay.

H2O, solid.

All good.

(AUTOMATED VOICE) How long

have you been gone, John?

Nine months, one day.

Do you dream about space?

(AUTOMATED VOICE)

How many hibernation cycles

have there been?

Three.

You have been gone

a long time, John.

What is the thing

you miss most about home?

What is the thing

you miss most about home?

-Fresh air!

-(DEVICE BEEPS)

Hello?

Evaluation complete.

Hey! Once you're done,

Captain wants you

to check the radios.

I can't remember

her last name.

-Whose last name?

-Zoe.

You know, the first couple

of hours are the worst.

Anastasis makes me feel like

my head is floating

off my shoulders.

-Hey!

-(SIGHS)

Don't worry about it.

It's her last name.

-You'd better...

-Check the radios.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

(WHISTLING)

(CORK POPS)

(SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES)

John?

Let me introduce you

to Zoe Morgan.

-Hi.

-Hi.

Zoe is on our ATS team.

John's on our astronaut corps.

Ah. Are you a candidate?

-For Titan?

-Yeah.

100%, yeah.

Maybe you can put in

a good word for me.

That was a joke. I'm kidding.

SAM: You know,

actually it's a funny story

how John and I met.

I was on

a tandem recumbent bicycle.

I cycle into work every day.

Anyway,

my bike had a puncture,

so I was on the tandem,

I was going up the--

Have you ever ridden

on a tandem?

-Me? No.

-It's not as easy as it looks.

Let me get you a drink,

I'll tell you about it.

Hey, John,

would you like something?

Morgan.

Zoe Morgan.

Houston, this is Odyssey-1,

John speaking.

Happy holidays

to everyone down there.

Uh, we had a nice dehydrated

lentil stew for lunch,

which was the closest thing we

could get to a holiday meal.

And in lieu of beer,

we washed it down

with some delicious

recycled urine-water.

The waste-water recycling

system is working very well.

We hope!

-Yeah, we hope...

-FRANKS: Mmm-hmm.

We put Odyssey

through her paces.

Everything seems clean

and velocity is on track.

It's hard to believe

it's been nine months already.

At this rate, we should be

in the Saturnian System

in the blink of an eye.

Um...

So we're going to turn in,

and we'll speak to you again

in another 90 days.

Over and out.

(AUTOMATED VOICE) Hello, John.

In a few seconds, you will be

entering deep hibernation.

Relax your body and begin

to focus on your breathing.

ZOE: I really didn't

want it to be you.

(AUTOMATED VOICE)

You will be asleep in five...

four...

three...

two...

You know when this thing's

supposed to start?

I gotta take a leak.

(BELL RINGING)

MAN: Can everybody

take a seat?

Excuse me.

Is anybody sitting here?

Is this seat taken?

Uh, no.

Okay.

-Thank you.

-Thanks.

It's John, right?

Yes.

Yeah.

-Zoe.

-Morgan.

-Yes, I remember.

-Yeah.

-Very exciting.

-Yes.

NARRATOR: Over a billion

miles away lies a world

that most resembles Earth

before life emerged.

Titan.

The largest of

Saturn's 82 moons,

and the only known world

in our galaxy,

other than Earth that

has liquid on its surface.

But Titan's rivers and lakes

are not composed of water...

but methane.

A hydrocarbon

and potent greenhouse gas.

But in order to reach

this distant moon,

we'll need some help

from an unlikely source,

Jupiter.

Jupiter orbits the Sun

at approximately

29,000 miles per hour.

I've seen this before.

We'll borrow a small chunk

of Jupiter's orbital velocity,

for gravity assist...

or a "slingshot",

resulting in

a tremendous speed boost.

The slingshot is

a breathtaking display

of orbital mechanics

and our ticket to Titan.

Early technology work

and concept design

started nearly a decade ago.

This cutting-edge spacecraft

wouldn't exist

without the ingenuity

and painstaking work of

a dedicated team of engineers.

The Titan mission has

far-reaching implications

not just a man's

exploration of the cosmos,

but the life on planet Earth.

Climate change remains

the primary threat

to mankind's

long-term survival.

Tapping into Titan's

abundant supply of methane

will create countless sources

of clean energy for Earth.

The Titan mission

is part of a greater journey

to save our planet.

For our children

and our children's children.

But first,

we have to get there.

(ALL APPLAUDING)

(AUTOMATED VOICE) Hello, John.

You're emerging

from deep hibernation.

You're aboard for spacecraft

Odyssey-1, bound for Titan.

Please be careful.

The drugs used

to induce hibernation

can produce mild side-effects,

including confusion, nausea,

dizziness and disorientation.

You are one year and

five days into your mission.

You have reached ten miles.

Congratulations.

Resuming exercise.

ZOE: (WHISPERS) John.

(DOOR CLOSING IN DISTANCE)

ZOE: (WHISPERS) John.

(RUMBLING)

(METALLIC CREAKING)

-(ALARM BLARING)

-(AUTOMATED VOICE) Warning!

-(LOUD RUMBLING)

-Warning! Warning!

Warning!

Warning!

Warning! Warning!

(ALARM STOPS)

(CLATTERING)

(CLATTERING STOPS)

John.

NASH: Johnny boy!

How are you feeling?

What happened?

You got bumped

on the head pretty good.

I mean

what happened to the ship?

FRANKS: That's what

we're trying to figure out.

You were the only one

awake when it happened.

JOHN: I was standing

right about here

when I heard the impact,

and then the panel falls.

Hits me in the head.

Holy sh*t!

Oh, my God.

Wow.

FRANKS: John.

You all right up there?

I'm reviewing

the exterior video feeds

from the last three hours,

I don't see anything.

It's just empty space.

What about life-support power?

Critical systems.

Everything's coming up strong.

Thrusters, navigation,

artificial gravity...

It's like nothing happened.

-Have we heard from Ground?

-No, I'll check comms.

X-band is normal.

Recycling the power.

(MACHINE POWERING DOWN)

(MACHINE POWERING UP)

Up again. Self-test.

That's us transmitting

to ourselves,

so the system is working.

I'm gonna go

reexamine the damage.

You two keep working here.

John, record a message

for Ground.

-Tell them the situation.

-JOHN: Yes, sir.

Houston, this is Odyssey-1.

John speaking.

We have a situation.

At some point

in the last three hours,

the aircraft was struck

by an object.

We're not exactly sure what,

but it dinged up the side

of the ship pretty good.

However, we've run

a complete diagnostics,

and there appears

to be no damage.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

ZOE: Thanks so much.

Hi.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Eh, just k*lling time.

Before the simulator training.

-Playing this dumb game.

-Yeah? What game?

Crypt Junkie.

What level?

The Vatican City.

I'm stuck.

Seriously?

You can do a flat spin

maneuver in an F-14 Tomcat,

but you can't make that...

that ledge?

-That is the situation, yes.

-May I?

Sure.

ZOE: It's just...

(AUTOMATED VOICE)

Level cleared.

My nephew taught me.

He's nine.

No way!

Oh! You need more XP points

before you can...

I've got plenty of XP.

I'm fine thanks,

I got a lot of XP.

You could buy some

night-vision goggles.

I don't need any goggles,

I've been to Pontiff's.

I was still doing my PhD

when I started working here,

and my sister jokes that

it's my longest relationship.

But I wouldn't trade

this time for the world.

And everyday I wake up and

I'm excited and I'm inspired.

It's the most important job

you'll ever have.

-Mmm-hmm.

-Yeah.

Anyway, what about you?

If you are chosen,

won't you miss your life here?

Friends and family?

No.

I've always been a loner.

Only child syndrome.

(CHUCKLES) Okay!

My father died when I was 11,

and my mother eventually

moved away to Maine

and we don't talk that much.

-I'm sorry.

-It's okay.

What do you think

are your chances?

Pretty good.

I mean, I graduated top

of my class in the Air Force,

I got an accelerated degree

in aeronautics,

and I never had anything

less than a perfect score

in any physical or psych exam.

And by the time

I set foot on Titan,

I'll be 39 years old,

which is the exact same age

Neil Armstrong was

when he set foot on the Moon.

Come on.

Tell me I'm not the guy.

Why do I think you had

that answer prepared?

'Cause I used it

in all my interviews.

Just to be clear,

we have nothing from Houston,

although comms are online.

We have no changes

in navigation,

life support, power.

What we have

is a dent in the hull

that presents no real dangers

to the ship or the crew.

Well, it's really too early--

I see no reason at this point,

to depart from the mission

or the flight path.

We knew that

impacts were possible.

Unlikely, but possible.

We don't even know

where it came from.

The ship is telling us

nothing happened.

That's because the impact

represents no real danger.

What if the whole system

is compromised?

Nash, you just told me,

the ship's given us

no evidence of that.

NASH: What?

The system has no evidence

of a whopping dent, either.

Cap...

FRANKS:

Won't you join me, gentlemen?

Take it easy, okay?

You know, it occurs to me that

there might be

another possibility.

What if

the structural stresses

on the ship aren't balanced,

and they're creating...

fatigue and buckling?

There's no way the design team

overlooked

something like that.

Design team.

You mean Zoe Morgan?

I mean that the design team

worked for decades.

They would not have overlooked

a structural weakness.

NASA lost

a $125-million Mars orbiter

because they failed to convert

metric to inches correctly,

you remember that?

Okay, John, just say

for a second, I'm right.

It is structural stress.

What are the ongoing risks?

It is possible that

the dent is enough

to relieve the stress.

Or it could be just

the beginning,

and the ship

can continue to buckle

until we reach Jupiter orbit

and we attempt the slingshot,

I mean, at which point

we get expl*sive decompression

and blasted into

deep space without suits!

Ah.

Would that explain everything

that we've seen so far?

I mean, I know you think

Zoe walks on water,

but would that explain it?

-Maybe.

-FRANKS: Good! Work on that.

Until we get confirmation

of any additional risks

or receive word from Ground,

the mission continues

as planned.

We are still

in the game, gentlemen.

Let's try to keep

our heads on our shoulders.

Dismissed!

SAM: Let me get you a drink,

I'll tell you about it.

Hi.

JOHN: Goddamnit, come on!

NASH: Hey. Wake up.

How are you feeling?

-How's your head?

-It's okay.

Any word from Mission Control?

No. Still nothing.

Listen...

I don't like this situation.

We need to say

if the ship is beat up.

But I think hurling ourselves

into deep space

at 33,000 miles per hour

on a defective ship

is a very bad idea.

We can't reach Titan

without the slingshot.

Forget Titan!

We abort the mission.

(ELECTRICAL BUZZING)

That's the second time

it's happened.

f*cking second time

it's happened.

(CHUCKLES)

Diagnostics show

no sign of any power failure.

That's just great!

There is a discrepancy between

what the ship is telling us,

and what we are seeing

with our own eyes.

You don't see anything

that I don't see.

I understand.

(INTERCOM CHIMES)

FRANKS: Nash! John!

I need you in the galley.

Have a seat, gentlemen.

So, Nash, let's um...

Let's walk through

your suggestion back there.

Suppose we decide to abort,

make a U-turn

and head back to Earth.

You were listening

to our conversation.

Let's say three days later,

we finally hear

from Mission Control.

They blame the breakdown

in communication

on solar weather.

Furthermore, they tell us that

there is absolutely nothing

wrong with the ship.

Oops!

Now, we have to explain

to the world

that we sh*t the bed.

And we're on our way home.

-They can relaunch.

-On whose dime? Yours?

Look.

In 90 days,

we are going to be facing

one of the most

difficult moments

of the entire mission.

The gravity assist will be

our ultimate do-or-die moment.

We need to work as a team.

Are we in agreement with that?

Yeah. 100%.

Nash?

-Mmm-hmm.

-Good.

We are wasting resources,

gentlemen.

It's time we hit the pad.

Listen, um...

Oh, my God,

you don't need to say it.

No, no, no.

We both know

what's at stake here.

You're up for Titan.

Nothing can get

in the way of that.

I'm on the Odyssey team

and my work comes first.

-So...

-Okay.

Yeah, and if we see

each other at work,

we're colleagues

and nothing more.

-Of course.

-Yeah.

Nothing more.

I think this was

such a bad idea.

For all kinds of reasons.

Yeah, it was a bad idea.

Well ex*cuted though,

wasn't it?

Well, yeah.

90-day hibernation cycle,

right?

JOHN: What?

Set yours for 89

days and 12 hours.

I have a plan.

When we reach Jupiter orbit,

we perform the slingshot...

in the opposite direction.

Towards Earth.

Look at it. I did the math.

Also, given the damage

to the hull,

I'm not comfortable

firing the thrusters.

Hey! Gravity assist alone will

still get us back to Earth

a hell of a lot faster.

-It's insane.

-It's a plan!

John! I can't do it by myself.

You heard

what the captain said.

We need to work as a team.

We both know that's bullshit!

He's gonna get us all k*lled!

You're losing your grip.

I'm only talking

about 12 hours.

No, you're not.

You're talking about a mutiny.

What?

(EXHALES)

You ever hear of

Tor Ice Station?

I can't get this story

out of my head.

It's a scientific facility

in Antarctica.

So, 12-person teams

would work for half a year

in complete isolation,

no way in or out.

Three months

into an assignment,

the scientists

at Tor discovered

a crack along

the Arctic ice shelf

that was making its way

towards the station.

They knew that

if they didn't leave,

they were all gonna die.

Well, the man in charge,

a Navy commander,

he had a different opinion.

Despite the threat,

he held the scientists

at gunpoint,

threatened to sh**t anyone

who tries to leave.

When they finally recovered

the bodies from

the frozen sea,

there were only 11 men.

The Commander was missing.

Autopsies revealed that

the scientists hadn't died

from drowning or hypothermia.

g*nsh*t wounds to the head.

It was eleven against one,

but the scientists

didn't even try

to overpower the commander,

they were too weak.

And it cost them their lives.

Do you want to live or die?

Huh?

'Cause it's really

that simple.

-You have to pick a side.

-Okay!

Okay.

If we wake up

and the ship shows no further

evidence of being damaged,

then we stick

to the original flight plan.

All right.

I'm in.

I'm gonna reset

your sleeping cycle right now.

I need your passcode.

MAN: (ON RADIO) ...as fear

spreads across the region.

As you know, there was

also an 8.4 earthquake

in New Mexico

earlier this month...

-Hey you, what're you making?

-Hi.

Hmm?

ZOE: So we all know

that Titan's surface

is rich with hydrocarbon.

But here's the problem.

To make the C2H2 work as fuel,

we need oxygen,

which is in short supply.

But back in '28,

the Titan Saturn mission

identified potential oxygen

under the ice shell.

Folks, there is our oxygen.

To reach it, we need to drill

through the ice shell...

Yes. Yes, Gale?

What happens if there is no

oxygen under the lithosphere?

Or if it's so deep,

we can't reach it?

Well, I... I think

we'll know the answer to that.

You won't have enough fuel

for the journey home.

Um...

But our data...

(AUTOMATED VOICE) Hello, John.

We're very confident that

there's a viable oxygen plant

on Titan to combine...

(AUTOMATED VOICE)

You are aboard

the spacecraft Odyssey-1,

bound for Titan.

ZOE: We all understand

that these are the risks.

(AUTOMATED VOICE)

Please be careful.

The drugs used

to induce hibernation

can produce mild side-effects,

including confusion,

nausea,

dizziness and disorientation.

You are 1 year,

2 months, 29 days

and 12 hours

into your mission.

NASH: Hey, John.

I'm just getting

everything in order.

The math is in the computer.

We'll be ready to roll

within the hour.

Is hibernation

affecting you at all?

Are you kidding me?

I feel like hammered sh*t

every time we wake up.

I saw Zoe.

Right here, on this ship.

You know it wasn't her, right?

Unless she snuck on board

during the launch,

been hiding in the ship's

crawlspace this whole time!

That's not what I'm saying!

I'm saying

I'm not thinking straight.

I'm saying I'm seeing things

that aren't there.

I know you miss her.

It all seemed so real.

We're going home.

You're gonna see her again.

Right, bud?

I know. Yeah.

I get it.

Let's go home.

Nothing from Houston,

I take it?

No.

I've got something

to show you. Come here.

Come here.

JOHN: Wow.

(EXHALES)

NASH: Only six people

have been this close

to the gas giant.

It's incredible.

Make it eight people now.

Nine,

if you count the captain.

Won't be long before

it's in our rear view,

so enjoy it while you can.

JOHN: Yeah.

Actually, I want to talk

to you about that, Nash.

I don't think we should go

behind the captain's back.

John, we went over this.

Despite the hull event,

guidance, artificial gravity,

accelerometers,

all turning up clean?

The ship's diagnostics

isn't working.

Well, I don't know.

That's like saying

I lost my keys

because sneaky,

invisible gremlins took them.

What?

-What?

-I...

I can't find any evidence

of the gremlins.

It just proves

how sneaky they are.

There's no way to disprove

your theory, it doesn't work.

(LAUGHS)

f*ck you.

f*ck you!

I have a doctorate

in astrophysics from Caltech!

-"Sneaky gremlins"?

-Doesn't matter.

-Are you f*cking kidding me?

-You know what I'm saying!

There's nothing wrong

with the ship.

I ran through this

a thousand different ways!

Can't find anything

wrong with the ship.

The only option is

to abort the mission!

FRANKS:

That's gonna be a challenge,

since we're all

on the same spacecraft.

Oh, I'm sorry, was I not

invited to this party?

Nash.

I want you to go

check the rations.

Against the ship's inventory.

See how much

we've consumed so far.

No, no.

I'm not leaving this room.

You know, for a second there,

it almost sounded like

you were refusing an order.

Were you?

Refusing an order?

(WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY)

Let me ask you something,

John.

Sure.

Are we friends?

Yes.

I'd like to think

we're friends.

Absolutely.

Aw, that's great!

I got a friend out here.

Join me for a drink,

all right?

Sit down.

Let's enjoy

this together, huh?

Look at that.

Breathtaking.

Slainte.

(GROANS)

-You all right?

-No!

-What's that?

-Moonshine.

My own recipe.

What's the secret ingredient?

Windex?

How'd you know?

(FRANKS LAUGHS)

Listen,

if any of us

find conclusive evidence

that there's a major problem

on board Odyssey,

I'll cancel the mission,

you know that.

-Don't you?

-Yeah. I do.

My greater concern right now

is the growing conflict

between me and...

Puss in Boots out there.

You need to stay

out of it, John.

If you pick a side, it will

only unbalance the situation.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, it does.

-Makes sense.

-Good.

Right.

You know, the drugs they use

to induce hibernation

are extremely potent

and the side effects

can affect people

in all kinds of ways.

Some show strong

physical symptoms.

For other people,

it's more mental.

Loss of awareness, focus,

memory decrements,

paranoia.

Sound like anyone you know?

-Yeah.

-Mmm-hmm.

Okay.

So what do you propose we do?

I'll recommend that

Nash reduce his dose.

Okay.

I'll also adjust

his work schedule,

so he has a lot less downtime

for his mind to wander.

Great.

Right now, I want all

our focus on the slingshot.

(SINGING) Oh, I'm just a soul

whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't

let me be misund--

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

NASH: What's going on?

John.

He can't perform

the slingshot on his own.

As long as we

stick together...

-Nash, just take it easy.

-What? You're with him?

I see no evidence

of any further issues.

I see no further evidence

that we're not f*cked!

We're not f*cked.

There's no compelling reason

to abort.

There's no threat

to our survival.

He told you to say that.

There's no threat

to the mission.

He told you to say that!

JOHN: I'm not going

to abort, Nash.

I won't participate in this!

I won't!

Odyssey is broken!

Everything around us

is screaming,

"Turn the f*ck around!",

and you're about to blast us

even further into space!

FRANKS: John.

Is it possible for us

to perform

the slingshot without Nash?

(CLEARS THROAT) Yes, we can.

-The math is in the computer.

-You heard that, Nash?

The math's in the computer.

And rest assured,

when we reestablish

communications with Houston,

I'm giving them a full report

on your insubordination.

Now clear out!

-He's sick.

-I know, John.

I'm good.

Enjoy your meal.

Don't forget to hydrate.

See you on the bridge, John.

(METALLIC CREAKING)

(SCREAMING)

(GASPS)

(INTERCOM CHIMES)

FRANKS: John? It's time

we prepared for the slingshot.

NASH: John.

You don't have to do this.

I'm begging you. It's suicide.

(INTERCOM CHIMES)

FRANKS: John! This is it!

Captain, I'll be right there.

No, John...

John, John, John...

You're sending us all to die!

Please, John! Please!

John!

You're sending us all to die!

John!

ZOE: Do you know why

moths fly into the light?

Yeah. It has to do

with navigation, doesn't it?

They fly relative

to a light source.

Usually the moon.

(CHUCKLES) You know,

there's another theory.

A little different.

So, when a moth is in danger,

the best escape-route

tends to be towards the light.

And usually that's upwards.

And it makes sense, right?

I mean,

what's the alternative?

Down towards darkness?

So...

Flying into the light

is a survival instinct.

But on the other hand,

moths also live

in dark cupboards,

and they eat cardigans, so...

I just love how much

you know about moths.

FRANKS:

We only get one shot at this.

Entering Jupiter's orbit

in 30 seconds.

Standby with the thrusters.

JOHN: Copy.

Thrusters at 0%.

FRANKS: Hit the mark,

then cut the thrusters

at the precise moment,

and we'll be on track.

And if you miss...

It's been nice

knowing you, gentlemen.

NASH:

Jesus Christ... (MUMBLES)

FRANKS: John, you're up.

JOHN: Yes, sir.

FRANKS: In ten, nine...

John, you got it? Six...

JOHN: Damn it!

Come on, come on.

FRANKS: Five. You got it?

-JOHN: I got it.

-Three.

Two, one...

-John!

-JOHN: Thruster 1.

Thruster 2.

Third thruster.

All thrusters

at full capacity.

FRANKS: Hit it!

NASH: We're gonna do this!

(AUTOMATED VOICE)

Warning! System overload.

JOHN: Jesus Christ! Now?

FRANKS: Negative.

That's a negative, John. Hold!

NASH: We're all gonna die,

we're all gonna die,

we're all gonna die!

-JOHN: Now?

-(AUTOMATED VOICE) Warning!

FRANKS: Hold! Hold!

Hold!

-(BEEPS)

-Now!

JOHN: Thrusters winding down.

FRANKS: Steady...

JOHN: Thrusters at 10%.

Thrusters at zero.

FRANKS: What's our trajectory?

JOHN: On course.

On course!

We did it!

FRANKS: Outstanding!

JOHN: All right!

(AUTOMATED VOICE) Slingshot

maneuver accomplished.

FRANKS: Listen, gentlemen,

we are on our way to Titan!

Rest in peace.

(UPBEAT SONG PLAYING)

Okay.

(STATIC HISSING)

MAN: John!

Holy sh*t!

Is anyone using

the UHF/VHF channel right now?

NASH: Not me, Johnny.

I'd like you

to hear something.

NASH: You must have

hit the button

on one of the other radios.

Or you were hearing an echo.

If there was an echo,

what was it bouncing off of?

These radios have

a 70-mile range,

so it's gotta bounce off

something very big

or very close.

FRANKS: Well,

that's simple enough to check.

Radar doesn't show anything

for a thousand miles.

You hit the wrong button

or you dozed off.

I didn't doze off.

So it's just another

one of your fantasies.

You know, for a guy who's

afraid of his own shadow,

you don't seem very concerned.

I gotta say

I'm with Nash on this, John.

Maybe you are

a little bit fuzzy.

JOHN: Fuzzy?

-I'm telling you what I heard.

-FRANKS: Okay.

It's high time we made

preparations for hibernation.

Move the f*ck out.

(JOHN EXHALES)

You need something?

I'm good.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

What you waiting for?

Answer it.

Hello?

Hey, John. It's Sam Napier.

Yes, sir?

Can you, um,

come down to my office?

I have some good news.

Okay, thank you very much.

Hey!

-Hey.

-Where've you been?

I've been trying

to call you all day.

Well...

You...

You do know. Right?

Yes, I know. Congratulations.

Zoe, what's going on?

We had this agreement

when we started it,

that our work comes first.

So what's changed?

I love you.

Okay, thank you.

I'm flattered.

(SCOFFS) Oh, my God.

-Don't f*cking do that.

-What do you want me to say?

Well, don't you feel anything?

Yes, I feel something.

What-- Then what do you feel?

John, tell me.

-I...

-John! Tell me!

I feel like

this is bigger than us.

I really didn't

want it to be you.

What?

I'm sorry.

How could you say that?

I'm sorry.

You of all people! You know

how important this is to me!

How could you say that to me?

I didn't want it to be you.

Yes...

I don't think that there's

anything left to say then.

John!

Oh, god, Zoe...

(AUTOMATED VOICE)

You have reached five miles.

Congratulations.

(ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(PANTS, GASPS)

Oh, Zoe!

It's just in your head.

It's just in your head.

John.

-You all right?

-Yeah.

I was running.

Nash found something

in the reactor room.

He's gonna need

your assistance right away.

Yeah.

Are you sure you're all right?

-Nothing you need to tell me?

-I'm fine.

Listen, if you're struggling,

you can talk--

I wanna say I don't feel well!

I don't feel well!

The f*cking hibernation

is t*rture!

(EXHALES)

I can manage it.

I'm all right. I'm fine.

Okay.

She's not here, you know.

-What?

-Zoe.

She is not here on this ship.

I know that.

Mmm-hmm.

What's going on?

Reactor output's

starting to escalate.

I mean, it's minor, but...

if it gets worse, it could be

a problem, you know?

Does it have anything

to do with the damaged hull?

Difficult to say.

But if the reactor

goes offline,

we'll be down to solar

and batteries,

and that's not

nearly enough juice

to keep Odyssey spaceworthy.

-Okay.

-Yeah.

What do you need me to do?

I'm feeling a little punchy.

You know.

Just I'm having a hard time.

I can't show this

to the captain

unless the numbers add up.

Check my numbers. Please.

-Yeah.

-Thank you.

I'll look into

these over, Nash?

I need you

to do something for me.

Yeah.

How did the captain

know about Zoe?

Well, everybody knew.

Your relationship

was no secret.

That's not what I mean.

How did the captain

know that...

I'd seen her on the ship?

I told you.

-You told him?

-No.

I told you.

-You told him.

-I don't think I did.

You don't think you did?

I...

Did you--

Maybe I told him.

I don't know.

I can't remember.

I don't even know

who I am anymore.

I can't remember

my parents' names.

I don't even remember

what they look like.

It's just the side-effects

from the drugs.

Okay?

Side-effects?

That's all it is?

Yes.

You've been

forgetting things, too.

You couldn't remember

Zoe's last name.

What else have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten...

how her skin feels like?

How she smells?

Maybe she's forgotten you.

Do you really think she hasn't

met someone by now?

Be careful, Nash.

Zoe moved on,

she met a new man.

A man who appreciates her,

who is committed to her

without hesitation,

a man who is everything

you're not!

(LAUGHS)

Stop it!

We can still go back

if we turn the ship

around right now.

-Stop it!

-I want to go home!

We can't turn around!

Be quiet!

Be quiet!

We're not going home!

Stop talking! Stop it!

-You can--

-Stop!

We're not going home!

Be quiet!

We just need

to show the captain

the reactor's numbers.

There aren't any numbers.

'Cause you've been putting

data into a dead screen.

(INTERCOM CHIMES)

FRANKS: Nash, John!

I need you on the bridge.

Tor Ice Station.

Remember what I told you.

Have a seat, both of you.

Nash, what are your findings

on the reactor?

Still checking the numbers.

Something is...

definitely not right.

Output's dipped as low as 20%.

I ran some of my own tests

from up here,

and the data showed

similar findings. John?

Any thoughts?

I haven't had a chance to

review the findings yet, sir.

-Gut feelings then?

-Uh... Gut feeling?

Um...

I don't have a gut feeling.

I'll have to sit down

with Nash

and look through his numbers.

Take a look at the screens.

You can see that

Nash is correct.

We're experiencing

a 20% dip in power.

That's a major concern.

If we can't solve the issue,

we may not make it to Titan.

And that's not the full story.

Apparently someone issued

a low-level command

to the reactor subsystem

which is causing

these power abnormalities.

Guess whose passcode was used?

It wasn't mine.

It was your passcode, John.

-Captain, that's impossible.

-FRANKS: But...

I don't think you had anything

to do with it.

You did give Nash

your passcode

when he reprogrammed your

sleep chamber, did you not?

-Cap...

-NASH: No.

I don't know his passcode.

I barely remember my own name!

I'm innocent.

This amounts to...

sabotage, and it puts me...

in a very difficult position.

I don't think weapons

are allowed on board, sir.

During the Civil w*r,

enlisted men

were given r*fles,

while officers

were given pistols.

It wasn't for combat.

It was to put down

insurrectionists.

Cap...

I'm disappointed.

But I'm not surprised.

What are you gonna do to me?

FRANKS: To be decided.

Right now,

I'm ordering the both of you

into hibernation

while I weigh my options.

I'd rather be shot

than go into hibernation!

That can be arranged.

I'm kidding. That's a joke.

(AUTOMATED VOICE) Hello, John.

In a few seconds you will

be entering deep hibernation.

Relax your body and begin

to focus on your breathing.

You will be asleep in five...

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Four...

Three...

Two...

One.

(INAUDIBLE)

-Hey.

-Hi.

How are you?

I'm okay. How are you?

Um...

So, I don't know if you heard,

but I'll be leaving town soon.

Yeah.

Heard about that.

Was it "Titan"...?

Titan. Yeah.

A billion and a half miles.

No big deal.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(RAIN PATTERING)

-ZOE: How are you feeling?

-Excited.

A little impatient.

I'm ready to go.

I'm really glad

that you came by.

'Cause I wanted

to say goodbye.

And I'm really sorry about

the way things ended before.

I, um...

I said a lot of things

that I regret.

It's all right.

There are also things

that I regret not saying.

-Um...

-Listen...

I'm really proud of you.

And I'm happy that

you came into my life.

So am I.

You were always very clear

with me from the beginning

that this is who you are.

And nothing or nobody was

gonna get in the way of that.

It's that steadfastness

and that...

determination that

attracted me

to you in the first place.

Oh, I was wondering

what it was.

Yeah.

JOHN: Hmm.

Having said all that though,

there is something that

I kinda want to know.

Did you love me?

I felt a lot of things.

Like what?

You know...

-No.

-Zoe.

No, I don't know.

-I don't know what that means.

-I'm leaving.

You know, it's okay.

John.

I have to go.

(AUTOMATED VOICE) Hello, John.

You are emerging

from deep hibernation.

You are aboard the spacecraft

Odyssey-1, bound for Titan.

Please be careful.

The drugs used

to induce hibernation

can produce mild side-effects,

including confusion,

nausea,

dizziness and disorientation.

NASH:

You're sending us all to die!

You're sending us all to die!

I'm begging you.

You don't have to do this.

I'm begging you, John.

You're sending us all

to our deaths!

I'm begging you. It's suicide.

You're sending us all to die!

I wanna go home! (SCREAMS)

FRANKS: Let me

ask you something, John.

Are we friends?

I'd like to think

we're friends.

(LIGHT FLICKERING)

(DOOR OPENING)

Hello, John.

Captain.

Where's Nash?

-Why do you ask that?

-(SCOFFS)

I... I saw you.

When I was going under,

I saw you attack him.

We struggled.

You attacked him.

He was becoming

more and more, uh...

Unstable.

I saw an opportunity

to subdue him. I took it.

That's not what I saw.

Where's Nash?

(SIGHS)

I put him under

until we reach Titan orbit.

Oh, you think

we're gonna make it still?

To Titan? Absolutely.

I have no doubt.

John, we've just had

a few setbacks, that's all.

You, like Nash,

are having adverse reactions

to the hibernation drugs.

Just so long as you remain

more of an asset

than a liability,

I see no reason

for tension between us.

Okay, I want you

to put your g*n away.

I would do that. I would.

If I were certain that your

condition wouldn't degrade.

I'm fine.

You are?

Maybe I've had

one hallucination or two.

One or two.

You know, an unstable mind

doesn't always know

it's unstable, John.

Should we talk about

something else?

Like Tor Ice Station,

for example?

You know,

that story that Nash told you.

What about it?

He needs to get

his facts right.

That final year at Tor...

it was a brutal winter.

One of the coldest on record.

And when the crack

was discovered,

only the commander

was thinking clearly.

He told his team

they should make the trek

to the nearest base,

even though

the subzero temperatures

meant that

survival was unlikely.

Problem was, the scientists

were too afraid to leave.

They were weak, John.

If they had gone together,

they might have had a chance.

Strength in numbers.

Instead, the commander

went alone. Froze to death.

His body was found

50 miles from the base.

But the fact remains,

the commander

acted courageously.

What about the scientists?

-What about all the autopsies?

-Hmm.

Revealed g*nsh*t wounds

to the head, I know.

Self-inflicted.

-Self-inflicted.

-Self-inflicted.

Sometimes,

it's not about the results.

A man is judged

by his actions.

Okay,

here's the situation, John.

The mission does not change.

Has not changed.

Will not change.

I need to know.

Can you work with me,

or would you prefer

to hibernate, too?

-I can work with you.

-Good.

The X-band communications.

They're down again.

So I'd like you to rerun

the diagnostics on that.

Sure.

Getting back in communication

with Houston should be

our major priority right now.

-Absolutely.

-Good.

I'm gonna get

something to eat.

Uh, alert me

to any developments, please.

Oh, and John...

I'm really glad that

we can trust each other again.

(SINGING) I'm just a soul

whose intentions are good

Oh, Lord...

(GROANING)

ZOE: John?

FRANKS: John?

Anything on X-band?

No. Nothing.

Not the answer

I wanted to hear.

Guess we'll just have

to keep trying.

You should eat something.

You look a little pale.

I'm not hungry.

You heard something,

didn't you?

No. (CLEARS THROAT)

Then why is your hand shaking?

It's not shaking.

(FRANKS SIGHS)

She really did

a number on you, didn't she?

What?

Zoe.

I don't want to talk about Zoe

with you, Cap, thanks.

Why not?

Because it's none of

your f*cking business.

There's something

you need to know.

I hate to be the one

to break it to you, but...

I think it's best

you know the truth.

Your relationship with Zoe

wasn't real.

Zoe was a plant.

What?

The selection committee

had concerns

-about your emotional mettle.

-No.

They wanted to make sure

you had what it takes.

-That's why they used Zoe.

-(LAUGHING)

You know what, Captain?

The drugs are starting

to affect you.

Let's talk about that.

'Cause I don't think

you're fit to be in charge.

Think about it. Just...

You're deluded!

Okay, that time you ran

into Zoe at the coffee bar.

Do you think

she was there by accident?

-You're lost!

-Is that what you think?

Hi.

And when she sat next to you

at the Titan lecture.

She just happened

to be looking for a seat

the moment Gordon got up!

-What about that?

-How do you know all this?

When you ran into her

outside your apartment.

Why was she jogging

in your neighborhood?

You guys live

on opposite sides of town.

Don't you think

that's suspicious, John?

How do you know this?

How do you know all this?

How do you think I know?

I was on

the selection committee, John.

John!

Oh, yeah?

Let me introduce you

to Zoe Morgan.

FRANKS:

Zoe told us everything.

She was just doing her job.

She did it admirably.

You're so full of sh*t.

You're full of sh*t.

You and Nash are full of sh*t.

Because you're both jealous

of what I have.

Where you going?

-Fix the radios!

-That's the head.

JOHN: Yeah...

That's the galley.

Storage is that way.

I know that.

(BELL RINGING)

Excuse me. Is this seat taken?

-It's John, right?

-Yes.

-Zoe.

-Morgan.

No.

ZOE: May I?

I wouldn't trade this time

for the world.

And everyday I wake up and

I'm excited and I'm inspired.

No.

JOHN: It's the most important

job you'll ever have.

ZOE: And my sister jokes that

it's my longest relationship.

Okay.

ZOE: Anyway, what about you?

If you get chosen,

won't you miss your life here?

JOHN: No.

I've always been a loner.

Only child syndrome.

ZOE: It's such a coincidence

we ran into each other.

You're not a big fan

of furniture, I take it?

Um, no, I'm preparing

for life in space.

Oh.

That was a joke.

Mmm-hmm. I couldn't tell.

Yeah, I could tell that.

Who is this man in the photo?

FRANKS: He's my father.

He spent the last three years

of his life in Antarctica.

That picture was taken

just before he died.

-MAN: John.

-(GASPS)

John.

Hello?

Hello?

MAN: Are you there?

Hello?

-Hello?

-John.

-Yes?

-Can you hear me?

Yes! This is John

aboard Odyssey-1.

-Who's this?

-What is your status?

Hello?

Repeat.

What is your status? Over.

We're okay, Houston! Uh...

We're okay. We've lost comms.

We've had some

structural damage.

Nash...

is in hibernation.

Because, uh...

He had, uh...

Problems.

John? Please repeat!

We are not okay.

Who is in hibernation?

(INTERCOM CHIMES)

FRANKS: John.

Hello?

(STATIC HISSING ON RADIO)

Hello?

Hello?

(INTERCOM CHIMES)

FRANKS: John,

report to the bridge.

Report to the bridge now.

I'm going to

ask you a question,

and I want you

to answer me very carefully.

Yes, sir.

What were you just doing?

-Checking the equipment.

-Specifically.

Checking

the terrestrial radios.

And what were the results?

I know this sounds crazy,

but I think that

I made contact.

Contact with whom?

-Houston.

-Houston!

Houston.

Even though they are six

hundred million miles away?

Six hundred million miles!

You want someone

to be there that bad?

Sir, I'm not crazy.

I heard it.

The same way you heard Zoe's

voice in here a while ago?

And saw her in your quarters?

You only hear these signals

on the handheld radios.

It's never on X-band,

which gets recorded

by the computer,

which we could

play back to verify.

Yeah, I agree

that's improbable, sir,

but if you were there,

you would've heard it too.

I was there.

I kept the intercom open

while you were

in equipment storage.

So you heard it?

No.

I heard you.

Having a conversation with

empty static. Take a look.

Go and have a seat, John.

Take a seat, John.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, but look,

we have been in space

for nearly two years.

We've been subjected to very

powerful drugs to sedate us.

The situation's

been exacerbated

by damage incurred

to the hull,

the source of which

we still don't know,

as well as communication

issues with Ground.

Now I ask you,

which is more likely,

that you picked up

a walkie-talkie

and had a live conversation

with someone back on Earth,

or your imagination is playing

a cruel trick on you?

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

You wanna hear it?

I can play it back for you.

I recorded the conversation.

Yes! This is John

aboard Odyssey-1.

No, please don't.

Please don't.

-Okay.

-Please don't.

I don't wanna see that.

(FRANKS SIGHS)

I'll get you through this.

But you gotta trust me.

We're still friends,

aren't we?

Absolutely.

Attaboy.

It just so happens

that we have a...

sleep cycle scheduled...

No, I don't wanna

hibernate like Nash.

Relax.

Just relax. There you go.

It'll be all right.

It'll be all right.

Besides,

look how far you've come.

This is the most

important thing

we'll ever do

in our entire lives.

Failure is not an option.

The mission comes first.

Always.

You do understand that,

don't you, John?

John?

John, what are you doing?

You have to go under first.

You can't be awake

while I'm in stasis,

not in your current condition.

I will not allow it.

I want to see Nash.

I told you. He's asleep.

Wake him up.

-I want to know he's okay.

-I can't do that.

His sleep cycle just started.

I just reset it.

I will bring you to him.

I wanna see him here.

Not gonna happen.

Captain, I want to see Nash!

John, you know

I could order the computer

to open the door

any time I want to.

I'm asking you to do it

of your own free will.

Just wanna see that he's okay,

bring him here.

John...

Do it! Now!

Okay, take me to Nash.

Yes, sir.

I ought to sh**t you

right now.

On your feet.

Time for bed.

-Captain...

-Come on, open it up.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(FRANKS WHEEZING)

Where is Nash?

Where is Nash?

(LAUGHING)

FRANKS:

You still don't get it, John?

You'll never find him!

Not like this.

Not in your current condition!

John!

FRANKS:

Dreaming about space, John?

(AUTOMATED VOICE)

I am just a soul

whose intentions are good.

FRANKS: It's clearer than ice!

(LAUGHING)

Are we still friends, John?

NASH: I wanna go home.

FRANKS: You need

a friend up here, you know!

(GROANS)

It's just in your head.

It's just in your head.

Johnny Boy!

(PANTING)

Nash?

You're endangering

the mission.

-You're endangering...

-Why are you doing this...

You're endangering the...

...to me?

You're endanger...

You!

It's... it's you

who endangered the mission.

Tried to k*ll us!

The mission...

You're endangering...

Computer,

enable voice command.

(AUTOMATED VOICE)

Voice command enabled.

Where is Nash?

Nash is on the bridge.

No...

What?

Computer,

where is Captain Franks?

Captain Franks

is on the bridge.

Computer, where is Nash?

Nash is on the bridge.

-Is Nash alive?

-Yes.

Nash is alive.

Is the whole crew alive?

Yes, the crew is alive.

What...

What is the crew manifest?

Crew Manifest, Odyssey-1.

Crew one, name...

Captain John Franks Nash.

JOHN: Houston,

this is Odyssey-1.

John speaking. Happy holidays

to everyone down there.

NASH: I'm only talking

about 12 hours.

No you're not.

You're talking about a mutiny.

I'm not here either, you know.

I know that.

Am I alone?

Yes.

ZOE: Anyway, what about you?

If you are chosen,

won't you miss your life here?

Friends and family?

JOHN: No.

I've always been a loner.

ZOE: I really didn't

want it to be you.

JOHN: This is bigger than us.

ZOE: Don't you feel anything?

(AUTOMATED VOICE) The drugs

used to induce hibernation

can produce

mild side-effects...

Captain John Franks Nash.

...including...

JOHN: Houston! We're okay.

(AUTOMATED VOICE)

...confusion,

nausea, dizziness

-and disorientation.

-JOHN: Be quiet! Stop it!

Stop it! Stop!

I'm gonna turn in.

Over and out, Houston.

(AUTOMATED VOICE) You have

been gone a long time, John.

What is the thing you miss

most about home?

Hello? Hello? This is John,

aboard Odyssey-1. I need help.

(STATIC HISSING ON RADIO)

Houston!

Or whoever's out there,

I don't know

if you can hear this.

Please send help!

ZOE: (ON RADIO) John?

-Zoe?

-John, it's me.

Hi!

John!

It can't be you.

This is not you.

It is me!

Listen, are you okay?

No!

I think I'm going crazy.

I need help.

-John!

-Um...

I think that

I k*lled Captain Franks.

But I don't know.

I'm feeling

a little bit confused.

And I think that

Captain Franks k*lled Nash.

But I don't know

if that's true either.

John, listen.

I'm here with Sam Napier,

and he asked me

to talk to you.

The hibernation drugs,

the dosage was too strong.

That's why you're confused.

Okay. I thought

that might be it.

Zoe.

How many people

are on Odyssey-1?

Only you.

That is impossible.

Did you see any other crew

quarters besides your own?

Any other

hibernation chambers?

Odyssey can only support

a crew of one.

How am I talking to you

without delay?

-John, I'm gonna put Sam on.

-No, don't!

No!

You tell me.

Okay.

You never left.

You never launched.

What?

You were in hibernation

before launch.

ATS built a training facility

in New Mexico.

A perfect replica,

reactor and everything.

You're 1,000 feet underground.

They needed to do a dry run

without you knowing.

John, I didn't know

about it either.

I would never have

let this happen.

You have to believe me.

I saw Jupiter.

I saw Jupiter!

And there was the slingshot...

It... (SIGHS)

It was all simulated.

It felt real.

It had to feel real.

That's the whole point.

The communications system was

linked back to the surface.

We're directly above you.

-You come and get me.

-We're trying.

MAN: As you know, there was

also an 8.4 earthquake

in New Mexico

earlier this month...

ZOE: Part of

the access tunnel collapsed.

It severed

the communication cables.

We had to hope that

you would try the radios.

For a while,

we thought you were dead.

Because of the collapse,

there was no way

to reduce your drug intake.

Each hibernation raised

the toxicity levels

in your blood.

They're drilling

a rescue hole,

but if there's

another collapse...

We... We need to get you

out of there.

Where are you now?

In equipment, um, storage.

All you have to do is

open the airlock and walk out.

Head upwards,

towards the light.

Okay.

You'll hit the rescue tunnel

soon enough.

That's it?

That's it.

I'm right here, John.

I'll be waiting for you.

I love you.

John, there isn't

much time, hurry!

FRANKS: John!

John, don't go out there.

You're not real.

"Real"?

I am standing

right in front of you.

You're not real.

You wanna tell me that

the voices you think

you're hearing on the radio

are real, and I'm not?

(FRANKS SCOFFS)

You're presenting with

irrationality and paranoia.

You are reacting to the drugs.

You can't hurt me.

You can't do anything.

I'm not the one

you should be worried about!

We are in deep space.

I don't believe you.

Six hundred million miles

from Earth,

and you're about

to open the airlock!

Zoe told me everything.

No. All you've done is

fabricate a scenario

where everything makes sense.

Where you and Zoe ride off

into the sunset together.

You can't prove it!

You're having

imaginary conversations.

It'd be impossible for anyone

to prove anything

to you right now.

John, stop.

Wait!

John!

(AUTOMATED VOICE) Warning!

Spacesuit not detected.

FRANKS: The moment

you open that door,

you'll be sucked out

into space!

You'll lose consciousness

within 15 seconds!

Last thing you'll feel

will be the saliva

boiling off your tongue.

Is that how you want

to be remembered?

Failing your country?

Dying in infamy

like your father?

-Who is this man in the photo?

-He is my father.

He was a commander

in the Navy.

He died when I was 11.

It's not too late.

JOHN: My whole life,

I thought I was a loner.

But I was just alone.

John, you can still

complete the mission.

-I trust Zoe.

-FRANKS: Trust yourself, John.

I'll stay with you forever.

And I'll never leave.

I know that

she's waiting for me.

Trust yourself, John.

I'm gonna go home.

John.

(AUTOMATED VOICE)

Warning! Override.

John? Don't do this!

(ALARM BLARING)

John!

(AUTOMATED VOICE)

Outer door will open in 15...

FRANKS: Don't do this!

(AUTOMATED VOICE) Fourteen...

Thirteen...

Twelve...

Eleven...

Ten...

-Zoe!

-Nine...

Can you hear me?

Eight...

Seven...

-Zoe!

-Six...

ZOE: Yes, John, I'm here!

-Five...

-ZOE: John?

Four...

Three...

I want you to know

that I love you.

Two...

-I love you so much...

-One.

(DOOR UNLOCKS, OPENS)

(RUMBLING)

SAM: Can you hear us, John?

ZOE: I'm here, John!

Go to the light!

Zoe!

(JACKHAMMER WHIRRING)

I'm here!

Hey! I'm here!

SAM: We're on our way, John!

Just hold out!

(INAUDIBLE)

(LIGHT BUZZING)

ZOE: Do you know why

moths fly into the light?

When a moth is in danger,

the best escape-route

tends to be towards the light.

I mean,

what's the alternative?

Down towards darkness?
