00:01Anyway, it turned out the whole thing was a waste of time.
00:07How so?
00:08Well, I shouldn't really say.
00:11Come on, you can't leave a statement like that unfinished.
00:14Well, the Santa Maria had strip mine leader bare.
00:20There wasn't a trace of molybdenum left.
00:30I don't know.
00:39I don't know.
00:44I don't know.
00:50I don't know.
00:53I'm not trying to be the same.
00:55I'm not trying to be the same.
00:58This is Ruby Camara on Red Spot Radio, blitzing the system at 30 megabits per second, every second.
01:17Hmm. Very nice. Expensive?
01:21There was a gift.
01:23A gift from whom?
01:26Mikoyangurvich Aerospace.
01:28They want the avionics contract for stage five.
01:31Sort of a hint.
01:31Ah. You mean a bribe?
01:33No, no, no. A bribe is five and a half million echoes in the Swiss bank of your choice.
01:38A bottle of 40-year-old brandy is a hint.
01:39So did they get the contract?
01:41No, I'm giving it to Michali Industries.
01:43Ah. What did they bribe you with?
01:46Lower cost estimate.
01:47Still the same blue-eyed incorruptible boy, eh?
01:50Blast of a dying breed.
01:52You and Fimbo, the last in the entire solar system.
01:55I'm not sure I like being compared with Fimbo, Lewis.
01:59Oh, and I said patronising Charles is one of your least attractive qualities.
02:02Oh, are you sure?
02:04So, stage five is going ahead, eh?
02:06Oh, yes.
02:08You should hang around. The hints are likely to get quite extravagant.
02:11Mm-hmm. I'll think about it.
02:13That's what you said last time.
02:15Be careful, Charles. Don't blow it. You're doing very well.
02:19I'll try not to.
02:20And after stage five?
02:22Stage six.
02:24And then?
02:25We go trans-solar.
02:27Stake our claim on the stars.
02:32Don't you think you ought to answer that?
02:33Ah. Does people know how to be kept waiting now and then?
02:37Right, then, I'm off.
02:38Oh, nonsense.
02:39Yep, I've got to have a drink with Anna Bagani.
02:41Oh, don't tell lies.
02:43Bye.
02:43Ah, I rejected for Anna Bagani.
02:45Yeah, well, you need cutting down to size.
02:48I do the call for Professor Brennan.
02:51Petra, put it on hold. I'll see you tomorrow.
02:52Mm, I should think so.
02:56Bye.
02:59Petra, is the call still there?
03:01Yes.
03:01Put it up.
03:07Professor?
03:08Ah, good evening, Miss Galan. What can I do for you?
03:11I'm filing my story. I need an additional statement.
03:14Fine, go ahead.
03:15It has now been confirmed that the Santa Maria escaped with all the molybdenin on Lida.
03:20How will this affect your chances of getting the necessary funding for phase five of the detailer's project?
03:26Your information is not correct.
03:29As I told you before, the Santa Maria was successfully intercepted before she could complete her mining operations.
03:34The Santa Maria escaped with over 200 tons of molybdenin, the entire deposit on Lida.
03:41Publishing unsubstantiated allegations will give me an option but to take legal action against you.
03:46Not your newspaper, not your TV network, but you personally.
03:51Are you threatening me?
03:52I'm telling you what will happen.
03:54These are not unsubstantiated allegations.
03:57I have an eyewitness account that confirms them.
04:00Oh, yes? And who's that, then?
04:02This one's for all those of you just creeping in the cat flap after a night on the tiles.
04:08Oh, you wild, young things.
04:13First, I want you to find out what he told her.
04:16Then, before you cut out his tongue, chop off his ears and eject him through the airlock without a suit,
04:20you might satisfy my curiosity and find out why he told her.
04:24All right?
04:25All right.
04:26Petra, prepare shuttle launch sequence.
04:31Shuttle departs. T-minus three minutes.
04:35Got the book, Olga the Restless.
04:38Also got you some Japanese rocket fuel.
04:40There's nothing other. I hope that's all right.
04:42You're right.
04:43You know, I really ought to get out more meat, a few more people.
04:45We had dinner at the Stardust.
04:47I know.
04:49Sorry?
04:50Don't you ever get homesick for Australia?
04:53Well, not really, no.
04:54Don't you miss the great deserts of the interior?
04:57I've heard Australia has fantastic deserts.
05:00Vast oceans of stone, sand, rocks twisted into bizarre shapes.
05:06Places where a man could be the only living creature in a thousand kilometers.
05:10I'm from Melbourne, Elliot.
05:11You know I'm from Melbourne.
05:13If I were you, Fimbo, I'd take the next liner home,
05:17find myself the most desolate of those deserts,
05:20dig a hole and stick my head in it.
05:22What have I done now?
05:27Hi.
05:28Victoria, let me get you a drink.
05:30Oh, just a coffee.
05:31Coffee?
05:32How can you drink coffee when we're celebrating Anna's miraculous exam results?
05:36Isn't it great?
05:37High score of theoretical physics in a year.
05:40Don't.
05:40Want to see me cry?
05:41Remind me, what were the odds you were offering on Melody passing all her exams
05:46and Anna not passing any?
05:47I think they were 50 to 1 or something.
05:51I think they were more like 250 to 1.
05:53Don't wait till next week if you like.
05:55Oh, God.
05:56What's the matter with him?
06:00He's got big troubles.
06:02One of the first years has moved into his cabin.
06:04Oh, that'll cramp his style.
06:06And he owes people a lot of money.
06:0815,000 eqs, you know that?
06:10What you are looking at is the downfall of a gambling man.
06:13Oh, don't be smug, Anna.
06:14Hey, let Anna gloat if she wants to.
06:15I think she's earned the right.
06:17Right.
06:18Whose round is it?
06:19Yours.
06:20Oh.
06:21If I give you my card, will you get the drink?
06:22All right.
06:23I just don't feel very good.
06:24What's wrong?
06:25It's all right.
06:26I just feel a bit funny.
06:26I'll be okay.
06:27Oh, had a few too many?
06:28What, orange juices?
06:30I'll get the drinks.
06:31Do you consider yourself irresistible to the opposite sex, Lewis?
06:34No, Elliot.
06:35I'm glad to hear it.
06:37Because given your almost legendary lack of charisma,
06:41didn't you find it a tiny little bit odd
06:43that a woman of such undeniable wit and charm as Ms. Galland
06:46would want to eat a meal with you?
06:48Yes, Elliot.
06:49Why did you join the service, Lewis?
06:53I wanted to go into space.
06:55Why space, Lewis?
06:59Wasn't it to leave the squalid sins of mankind behind
07:03and voyage to the stars?
07:07Where's Daedalus supposed to go?
07:10He's going to the stars.
07:12And now it won't.
07:14Soon, it'll be so much floating junk.
07:17And who'll be to blame?
07:18Elliot!
07:18Mankind's greatest adventure scuppered before take-off
07:22and you'll be responsible.
07:24I'm sorry.
07:25Don't you say another word.
07:27In fact, I don't want to hear another word out of you
07:29that's not connected with your duties ever again.
07:31Is that understood?
07:32I think I've discovered what you see in Professor Brelin.
07:43Oh, yeah?
07:44Well, what have Charles Brelin, Alex Hartman and Katz Kitebrook got in common?
07:46Good looks.
07:47Good looks?
07:48No.
07:49Egos.
07:49They've all got the most tremendous egos.
07:52You're an ego junkie.
07:54Anybody that can fit their head through a door, she doesn't want to know them.
07:56Oh, Charlie.
07:58How are you feeling?
08:00I think I'm going to go.
08:01I just need to get some sleep, that's all.
08:03See you.
08:03Bye.
08:04Tell me, what's it like living in a staff cabin?
08:08Oh, it's not where you are that's important, it's who you're with.
08:10Yeah.
08:11I mean, is it true about the oak panelling?
08:13Absolutely.
08:14And the swimming pools.
08:16So why is Jean-Francois looking so miserable, then?
08:19Oh.
08:21He's waiting for a decision on his thesis proposal.
08:23Oh, yeah, that.
08:25Daniel, your dad works at Hamburg University, doesn't he?
08:28Yeah, that's where my money comes from.
08:30Well, do you think he knows Professor Varrota?
08:32Wouldn't know.
08:32But you don't think he could find out whether Jean's proposal's been accepted, do you?
08:36My father and I have an unspoken agreement.
08:39I don't contact him, and he sends me my allowance on time.
08:43You don't get on.
08:44We don't do anything.
08:46Except maybe disappoint each other.
08:49I have calculated the parameters of the electron flow.
08:52Do you wish me to download?
08:56I repeat, do you wish me to download?
08:58If you don't do anything, that's not true.
09:00What's the matter?
09:00What if you don't do anything?
09:02The trouble with men is that they're men.
09:04That's a total logical argument.
09:06One of these days, Anne, you're going to fall in love, and we're going to get our revenge on you.
09:09If I fall in love... When?
09:11When I fall in love, it will be with the right man.
09:13Oh, boy. That's what they will say.
09:17Pimbo, hold it. Pimbo?
09:19What's the matter with you?
09:31We call for Earth call to Dr. John Weatherby.
09:35University of Hamburg, Germany, Earth.
09:40451278.
09:48Hello, Dad. Remember me?
09:50Don't panic. I'm not going to ask for any money.
09:53How's Hamburg? Is it raining?
09:56It doesn't rain here.
10:02I've learned something out here, Dad.
10:06I've learned that the universe doesn't care.
10:11The stars are just mean points of light,
10:13and you look out into infinity and see nothing forever.
10:21You can always feel the darkness waiting for you.
10:25It's just waiting, waiting for you to make one mistake,
10:29so it can strip you down to your bones and then suck you dry.
10:35Ah, erase message. Start again.
10:41Dear Dad, I've got a favour to ask you.
10:43As a professor via rota at your university, and I was wondering...
10:47Sorry.
10:53Right, you now...
10:55...
11:05Oh...
11:12Wow.
11:14I'm Sabine Gallon. I'm booked for an Earth call at 0700.
11:21Channel 13.
11:24Earth call, download to Jupiter test, all system news, Vassar 781193.
11:35Download file and transmit to Earth.
11:44Due to a technical malfunction, your call has not been placed.
11:48Corina Communications apologizes for any inconvenience.
11:51You have not been charged for this call.
11:54Petra, tell Gerard I want the specification for the avionics contract done today
11:59and sent to Cape Town as soon as POS.
12:02Tell Alison to keep an eye on the share price. I want to know every twitch.
12:05Open.
12:07Captain, come in and take a seat.
12:11How bad is it?
12:13I've managed to put a lid on Miss Gallon for the moment.
12:15How?
12:16Jammed her Earth call.
12:18That's not very ethical.
12:19Never mind ethical. It shouldn't have been necessary.
12:21And I can't keep doing that for long.
12:24I talked to Flimbo last night.
12:26And?
12:27He didn't know what he was doing.
12:29He thought he was just having a friendly meal with a nice young lady.
12:33Is he really that brainless?
12:35What, Flimbo?
12:36That's a stupid question.
12:38I'll talk to him later.
12:39Rather you didn't.
12:41He's my navigator. I need him in one piece.
12:44I won't do anything to him.
12:46I'm his superior. I've disciplined him. It ends there.
12:50I thought you would have learnt your lesson by now, Daniel.
12:53Yeah, but that was your fault.
12:54My fault? Oh, Daniel.
12:56But you told everyone you were going to fail all your exams.
12:59I thought I was. Till the last minute I thought...
13:01All right, never mind that.
13:02Have a little flutter on Jean-Francois' thesis proposal.
13:05No chance.
13:06Twenty to one on acceptance.
13:08Fifteen to one on refusal.
13:09And evens on comeback?
13:11Daniel, he's your friend.
13:12Calculating betting odds is an ancient art with a long and honourable tradition.
13:17It would be sacrilege to let personal considerations interfere.
13:21Daniel, God will get you for this. Just like he did last time.
13:24So, um, shall I put you down for fifty eqs then?
13:27Fifty eqs for what?
13:28The Daniel Weatherby Relief Fund.
13:29It will never catch on, Daniel.
13:31Have you seen Victoria?
13:32She's in my cabin with Mercedes.
13:33And what's she doing there?
13:34Well, we were talking and it got late.
13:37And we all fell asleep.
13:38What are you talking about?
13:39Girls talk and that's none of your business.
13:41Hey, don't worry, Jean-Francois.
13:44All she ever talked about to me is you.
13:48I'm sorry to hear about your technical difficulties.
13:52Was it you?
13:53Don't be paranoid.
13:54Tampering with interplanetary communication is a serious offence, Professor.
13:59Oh, yes, that's why I'd never do such a thing.
14:01But let's not talk about legalities.
14:03After all, Fimbo Lewis didn't know he was being interviewed
14:06and that could be construed as a breach of confidentiality.
14:09I'm sure the network will back me up.
14:12The network is a long way away.
14:14And so is the law.
14:16Yes, that's right.
14:18You know, you're a clever girl.
14:20Wouldn't it be better to wait until you can get the complete story?
14:24The proper story?
14:25Are you willing to give me the proper story?
14:28Come up here, Miss Galland.
14:31I've been up there.
14:33You might kidnap me.
14:34And who would stop you?
14:36Come to dinner.
14:37When?
14:38Night.
14:39And you promise not to kidnap me?
14:42Unless you want to be kidnapped.
14:45Wiseman argues that human beings have the intrinsic ability to objectify their own actions
14:51and are not necessarily subject to deterministic principles.
14:55What does that mean?
14:57I'm not really sure.
14:58Well, what is it?
15:00Ethnomethodology.
15:01It's part of sociology.
15:02What are you doing?
15:03I don't know.
15:04You don't know?
15:05Well, I think it might have something to do with quarks.
15:08But now I think it might be photons.
15:11It might be photons what?
15:13Whatever this is.
15:15I can only describe it in mathematical terms.
15:18Look, do you want to see it?
15:20Sarah?
15:21Fungus.
15:22Hmm?
15:23Beg your pardon?
15:24Fungus.
15:25Mushrooms.
15:26Are you all right?
15:27Petra has over 40,000 recipes on files.
15:30Recipes from every nation, culture and subculture in the world.
15:33She's even got some of those strange things the Japanese utilition on Mars.
15:36Rebecca, ever since I took over this practice...
15:38The procedure is very simple.
15:39You put the raw materials in the right feed containers.
15:42Then you call up the menus and select one of these 40,000 recipes.
15:45Have I told you about the recipes?
15:47Many times.
15:48I do that every single day.
15:49A different damn recipe every single day.
15:51And every day the students come up to me and say,
15:52why have we got mushrooms stroganoff again?
15:54Rebecca, I don't want you to take this the wrong way,
15:56but would you like some tranquilizers?
15:58Medical alarm.
16:01Yes?
16:02It's Sarah.
16:03She's fallen over.
16:04She can't breathe.
16:05She's sort of golfing for air all the time.
16:07Where at?
16:08Study lap four.
16:09Okay, sit with her.
16:10I'm on my way.
16:11Okay.
16:12Study lap four, where's that?
16:13Compton Gantry.
16:14Okay, let's go.
16:15Open.
16:16Listen to me, Anna.
16:18I want you to turn Sarah over onto her side.
16:20Recover.
16:21I know, I know.
16:22Look, hurry.
16:23I've just had a message from Professor Villarotta.
16:29Yes?
16:30Well, it's quite long, but I can give you the gist of it.
16:33Paul, don't do this to me.
16:34It's a comeback.
16:35What does that mean?
16:37Well, he likes the first part of the proposal, and he would like you to develop that.
16:42You mean more work?
16:43I'm afraid so, yes.
16:44I'm beginning to wonder whether it's worth all the effort.
16:46Hang in there.
16:47At least it's not a refusal.
16:49Well, look, we'll download it to my auto sector, please.
16:51Here it comes.
16:52I think we ought to meet and talk about it.
16:54Paul, will you let me read it first?
16:55Okay, okay.
16:56Just call me when you're ready.
17:02Sarah, can you hear me?
17:03Good.
17:04Don't try to talk.
17:05Concentrate on breathing.
17:06In, out.
17:07In, and out.
17:09Sarah, you're on pure oxygen.
17:11Don't hyperventilate.
17:12Follow my voice.
17:13In, out.
17:15In, out.
17:16In, out.
17:17In, out.
17:18That's better.
17:19What is it?
17:20It's like an asthma attack.
17:21Maybe it's medical, are you?
17:22I didn't think so.
17:23Of course she is, and they have tests before they come here.
17:24Any history of asthma in your family?
17:25Okay, Sarah, just relax now.
17:26It's very important.
17:27And I come here, I want you to talk to Sarah for a moment.
17:28I'm going to take you to Medicom.
17:29I know sociology is bad, but I didn't think it was that bad.
17:30Be hysterical.
17:31Oh, my head.
17:32Yes.
17:33It could be psychosomatic.
17:34A hysterical attack.
17:35Shhh.
17:36Sorry.
17:37Can you organize a trolley to go to the Medicom?
17:38Yeah, okay.
17:39Do you think the new doctor's attractive?
17:40Now you've seen him close up.
17:41Morning.
17:42Morning.
17:43Morning.
17:44Afternoon, then.
17:45Oh, my God, what a way to start the day.
17:46What is it?
17:47I don't know.
17:48Have you heard from Hamburg?
17:49Yeah, it's a comeback.
17:50Oh, dear.
17:51I must be going to concentrate on the first section and resubmit.
17:53Oh, dear.
17:54You must be in a concentrate on the first section.
17:55Yes.
17:56What is it?
17:57It could be psychosomatic.
17:58A hysterical attack.
17:59Sorry.
18:00Can you organize a trolley to go to the Medicom?
18:01Yeah, okay.
18:02Do you think the new doctor's attractive?
18:03Now you've seen them close up.
18:05Morning.
18:06Morning.
18:07Morning.
18:08Oh, afternoon then.
18:09Afternoon, then.
18:10Oh, my God, what a way to start the day.
18:11What is it?
18:12I don't know.
18:13I don't know.
18:14I don't know.
18:15I don't know.
18:16I don't know.
18:17I don't know.
18:18I can't stand all this hanging around.
18:19I wish you'd just fail me outright.
18:20Yeah, well, at least you didn't lose all your money.
18:21I beg your pardon?
18:22I put 15 equus on you being accepted, Jean-Francois.
18:25Are you saying there was a book on my thesis proposal?
18:28There's a book on everything nowadays.
18:30Oh.
18:31Yep.
18:32Mercedes?
18:33Mm-hmm?
18:34Can you come and see me?
18:36Mm-hmm.
18:37I'll be over right now.
18:38Look, this book on my thesis.
18:39Mm-hmm.
18:40Who was running it?
18:41Who do you think?
18:42Well, she was quite clever, really, because often evens on a comeback, but the odds on
18:45you being accepted or failed were fantastic.
18:47The lungs are clear of any infection or irritation.
18:59They do show some damage, but that's consistent with the effects of an asthma attack.
19:03They regenerate fairly quickly.
19:04What caused the attack?
19:06Could have been an allergic reaction or more likely it was a psychosomatic incident.
19:11You say she's been under a lot of stress recently?
19:14Yes, emotional and academic.
19:15Well, there you go.
19:16Can you give her any medication?
19:18Mm-hmm.
19:19I don't want to create any dependency when I'm not sure if there's a physiological cause.
19:23Mm-hmm.
19:24She's still on oxygen?
19:25No, actually.
19:26What she's breathing is only a slightly enriched mixture.
19:29With this condition, mental state is very important.
19:32The panic caused by the initial breathing difficulties escalates the symptoms.
19:37The snowball effect.
19:38Exactly.
19:39Well, could it happen again?
19:41Stress on board is very high.
19:44And this kind of psychosomatic behavior can be contagious in an enclosed system.
19:48You mean other students could be affected?
19:50Oh, yes.
19:51If the overall stress level in the space community gets out of hand,
19:53you can end up with mass heartbreak of space confinement syndrome.
19:56Has that ever happened?
19:582035.
20:00From Cape York on route to Mars.
20:03There were casualties.
20:04How many?
20:05Two deaths.
20:07Fifteen cases of severe mental disturbance.
20:10What can we do, Christoph?
20:14Do?
20:15We could do something about the morale on both the ship.
20:18Oh, Charles.
20:20She's only a reporter doing her job.
20:22Yeah, but what about your job?
20:23What about 15 years of your life?
20:25She's not going to stop me.
20:26Yeah, but if the sponsors pull out, then phase five is sunk.
20:29What will you do?
20:30Go back to phase four?
20:31Go back to Earth and start again from scratch if I have to.
20:34Rob banks to raise the capital.
20:36Oh, to kill Thimbo.
20:37Oh, I think Mr. Lewis has suffered quite enough already.
20:41Well, is there anything you want me to do?
20:43I don't know you can do.
20:45I just wanted to tell you what the latest problem was
20:47and explain that I'll be working all afternoon.
20:49Are you sure?
20:50Damage limitation exercise, talking to our people on Earth,
20:53trying to stop her getting her story out.
20:55If you want anything, you'll give me a call.
20:57Mm-hmm.
20:58I can be sure of that.
20:59Victoria.
21:00About last night.
21:01Oh, I've got to sleep.
21:02Sorry.
21:03Did you talk to Daniel?
21:04Did you talk to Daniel?
21:05Daniel, yeah.
21:06About my thesis?
21:07What's wrong?
21:08Did you talk to Daniel about my thesis?
21:10Well, only that you were desperate to know the result.
21:12I thought perhaps his father could help,
21:14but Daniel never speaks to his father apparently.
21:16Yeah.
21:17Well, in future, will you please not discuss my private affairs with other people?
21:19I'm sorry?
21:20Daniel ran a book on my thesis last night.
21:21From what I can tell, he had inside information.
21:22From what I can tell, he had inside information.
21:23From what I can tell, he knew the results before I did.
21:25Look, I was trying to help.
21:26I mean, you've been moaning and groaning about it.
21:27Moaning?
21:28This is the most important thing in my life!
21:29I know that.
21:30I'm sorry.
21:31Victoria.
21:32Victoria!
21:33I'm sorry.
21:34I'm sorry.
21:35I'm sorry.
21:36I'm sorry.
21:37I'm sorry.
21:38I'm sorry.
21:39I'm sorry.
21:40I'm sorry.
21:41I'm sorry.
21:42I'm sorry.
21:43I'm sorry.
21:44Victoria!
21:50Hi, Victoria.
21:51Anything the matter?
21:52No.
21:53What's that?
21:54Oh, it's for Charles.
21:55He's had a hard day and he needs cheering up.
21:57Oh, don't bother, Mercedes.
21:58They're never worth it.
22:09Surprise, surprise!
22:12Hello, Mercedes.
22:14Hello, Mercedes!
22:16Hello!
22:17This
