00:02Don't take any stupid risks, OK?
00:04Hey, remember the motto of Clan Drummond?
00:06Not offhand, no.
00:08What, in your family own half of Scotland?
00:10Less than a quarter, actually.
00:12Gang Werrily.
00:14Oh, hi. Gang Werrily yourself, then.
00:19You're suddenly light-headed.
00:21Must be the oxygen.
00:31You're suddenly light-headed.
00:35You're suddenly light-headed.
00:40You're suddenly light-headed.
01:01ETA for I.O. is now two hours, 15 minutes.
01:06Petra, transmit our position to interworld research base.
01:09I.O. a maximum signal and request status report.
01:11Transmitting.
01:12If we assume a low orbital approach and insert into the polar plan.
01:19The optimal vector for the shuttle launch will be Bravo 2.3, Yankee 18.9.
01:28Nothing. We've had nothing from them for two hours now.
01:31Check with Victoria.
01:34Petra, get me Victoria for Ibiza.
01:38Yes?
01:39What's the latest readings?
01:41Not good. There's a sulphur storm still covering the northern polar region.
01:45Would that explain the common silence?
01:47It might. Dense sulphur smog combined with sulphur dioxide. It's no false.
01:52Not a very hospitable place, Victoria.
01:54No. We're looking at new volcanic activity in the D-9 quadrant.
01:59Let us know if there's any threat to the interworld base or our shuttle trajectory.
02:02Yeah, of course. Don't worry, Fimbo.
02:07Why don't you take a break, Mr. Lewis?
02:09No, no, I can't. Drummond's got to prepare the shuttle.
02:13Daniel, whether we can take watch for a couple of hours.
02:15We'll be at I.O. in a couple of hours.
02:17And we'll call you as soon as we get there.
02:19Go on, Fimbo. It'll be your last chance tonight.
02:23All right, but call me if anything happens.
02:27Petra, call Daniel Weatherby to Compton.
02:32That's the one.
02:33Wow. Cracker tower and a half.
02:36You can't compare this to the volcanoes on Earth.
02:39These are lakes of liquid sulphur erupting through the crust.
02:44500k from the research base.
02:46Yeah. It's going high into the atmosphere and then the fallout's mushrooming back down.
02:50What are the chances of it easing up?
02:51Could be days. Or even weeks.
02:55Right. Could you help me set up an altitude fix on the sulphur, please?
02:59So, what did the great student revolt of 2050 achieve?
03:03Told us where some people's loyalties lie.
03:06Ah, I see.
03:07If it wasn't for this emergency, we would have won.
03:09That's not how I heard it.
03:11No, but it's the official line.
03:14Don't take Professor Breland on, Philippe. He's not worth it.
03:18We'll see.
03:19There's a signal.
03:21Petra, maximum amplification, channel 6 and identify.
03:26Direct transmission from I.O.
03:27Signal to noise ratio low.
03:30Amplifying.
03:32Petra, filter and e-scramble.
03:35Come on, give us something.
03:37In good filtered.
03:38In good, no need.
03:40Receiving you, Lieutenant. This is Breland.
03:42We are about 14 minutes from orbit.
03:45Can you tell us your colour and situation?
03:47Deteriorating.
03:48The second power generator has failed.
03:50We have 12 hours auxiliary power for minimal life support.
03:55The temperature in here is falling fast.
03:56We will be sending down a shuttle as soon as we make orbit.
04:00Can you advise on landing coordinates?
04:01The scanning cameras have been knocked out.
04:04The flattest terrain was bearing south of the module 4.1 degrees.
04:08I'll land as close as I can.
04:09I have to tell you, it's very stormy out there.
04:12Visibility is very low.
04:14Don't take any risks, Ilya.
04:16We'll give it our best shot.
04:17We're grateful, thank you.
04:19And good luck, Ilya.
04:23They haven't got much time if they're losing life support.
04:26I'll get to the shuttle.
04:27Be ready for the fastest launch since the start of the asteroid gold rush.
04:30I'll help you.
04:40What's happening?
04:42Oh, nothing.
04:43We don't start or orbit'll burn for another 30 minutes.
04:46I thought you were going to wake me.
04:48Well, you could hardly have got your head down.
04:51I couldn't sleep anyway.
04:56No heroics now, Drummond.
04:58If it's impossible, you get out of there.
04:59Yeah, right.
05:00When you get on the ground, if you get down,
05:02you should be able to contact the base on shortwave.
05:04I know the pack drill.
05:05Yes.
05:06Yes, I'm sorry.
05:07It doesn't get any easier sending people off.
05:09And ever since the Copernicus,
05:11I haven't liked not knowing what's going on.
05:14What makes you think I'll know?
05:15You just be careful.
05:16Yeah, and you look after Mercedes.
05:18Make sure she rests.
05:19Yeah, I'll do that, all right.
05:19Right, tell her not to worry.
05:23You know, I'm quite used to men facing danger
05:25asking me to look after their women.
05:28I say you're the first one who's asked me to look after my own.
05:31Orbital burn, T-minus 20 minutes.
05:36Aligned for orbital approach to IO.
05:39Petra, deceleration status.
05:42Complete.
05:43Approach speed is 100 kilometers per hour.
05:47Petra, compute alignment burn for low docking orbit.
05:492.4, a second minor burn in five seconds.
05:53Petra, go for burn.
06:02OK, Commander.
06:03You are cleared for shuttle launch.
06:05Please begin pre-ignition checks.
06:06All pre-ignition check this complete.
06:08Let's get on with it.
06:09Patches to automatic.
06:10Patches to automatic.
06:12Shuttle systems to internal.
06:14Internal systems on.
06:15All internal systems go for release.
06:17All internal systems go for release.
06:20Release hatches unlocked.
06:22Release in five seconds.
06:24Good luck, Commander.
06:25Thanks.
06:38I don't know why we're not asleep.
06:40It'll be another three hours at least.
06:44Unless he aborts.
06:45It'll still be three hours before we can rendezvous.
06:49Everything all right?
06:50Yeah.
06:51Yes, fine.
06:52Your eye troubling you?
06:53No, no.
06:54Only you've been rubbing it all night.
06:55Yes, but it's just, just I'm tired.
06:58You must look after your eyes, Mr. Lewis.
07:00I've had a full medical.
07:01I've done all the checks.
07:02Christophe is quite happy.
07:04What about this business about the cataracts?
07:06They've treated them before.
07:07They can treat them again.
07:09They've treated them before?
07:11When was that?
07:12Yes, a couple of years ago, just after the accident.
07:14Oh, yeah.
07:15Accidental radiation exposure.
07:17How did that actually happen?
07:20We were on our way to Europa.
07:22An electrical felt developed in the hub engine.
07:25I was working on it down there for a couple of hours.
07:27And a felt developed in the hub shielding.
07:29For some reason, a radioactivity detector wasn't working.
07:34It wasn't until Elliot happened to run some safety checks a few hours later that anyone noticed.
07:38By that time, you'd had quite a dose.
07:4120 times the allowable body burden.
07:43A month later, my eyes were terrible.
07:45But they operated, and since then, I've been okay.
07:48Was that when they gave you the glasses?
07:51I found these.
07:53I know they're a bit odd, but they do help me when I'm tired.
07:55I don't really need them.
07:58I'm fine, really.
08:00In that case, I think I'll go and get a spot of breakfast.
08:04Wake up, Mr. Wellaby!
08:09He says it's tiredness.
08:11But every time I look at him, he's rubbing his eye.
08:13Yeah, well, it probably is just tiredness.
08:15Any real deterioration is going to be gradual.
08:18But you've confirmed the diagnosis.
08:20Yeah, you've seen the report.
08:21There's irreversible corneal damage.
08:24Which can only worsen if he continues to be exposed to cosmic radiation.
08:27So then, why haven't you told him?
08:29He's under a lot of strain at the moment.
08:31We all are.
08:33Professor, have you woken me and called me here to Medicom at this time of the morning
08:37to discuss Fimbo Lewis's eyes?
08:39There has been a rescue mission underway for the past 12 hours, Doctor.
08:43Yes, I know that, and I know my job.
08:45When I have patients to tend, I will stay awake and tend to them.
08:49You know, I think Lewis is one of those people who expects the worst from life.
08:54It's good news he can't handle.
08:56Anyway, there's been a medical report filed,
08:58and it's against the law to withhold any part of it from the patient.
09:01Yes, I know the law, Professor.
09:03You'll tell him, then?
09:04Yes, I'll tell him.
09:06Sorry if I spoiled your beauty sleep.
09:09What part of the job?
09:12Okay, this will do for now.
09:14We'll stack them in here and then back to work.
09:16Can't have you falling behind in your classes.
09:18We're not going to serve food in here until beds in the common room are actually being used anyway.
09:23No, don't sit down.
09:24Oh, come on.
09:25I was in comms then last night.
09:27I was on what till four?
09:28I was in the lab until two.
09:29Yes, and what's your excuse?
09:31I'm just knackered.
09:32Oh, mate, come on, get moving.
09:34We're not going to have any news from I.O. for at least several hours,
09:36so there's no point in sitting around waiting for something to happen.
09:40Philippe, stellar evolution.
09:42Yeah, I know.
09:43I actually know that.
09:44And Daniel?
09:44Advanced musicology.
09:46What?
09:47With me and Byron.
09:48Extraordinary.
09:49Well, don't be late.
09:51Musicology?
09:51Yes, it's some experimental course they've set up.
09:55Sounds like a good excuse for you and Byron to play silly beggars when the rest of us are doing
09:58calculus.
09:59No, harmonics was one of the first applications of pure mathematics.
10:03The numerical ratios of the perfect consonants is that Pythagoras discovered the very same ratios
10:08that Kepler discovered in the orbits of the planets.
10:12Basically, the music of the spheres.
10:14Anything involving Byron sounds like goofing off to me.
10:17Uh-oh, enemy at ten o'clock.
10:21Mr Gervais, no hard feelings?
10:23No.
10:24I think we made our point.
10:26Rather feeble point, but perhaps you did.
10:28This made a few more people around here question the ethics of what's going on in Jupiter's system,
10:32then it was worth it.
10:33Ethics?
10:35Let me show you what ethics are, Mr Gervais.
10:38Come with me.
10:41Look, I'm simply arguing that from a purely economic point of view,
10:45the expenditure is immoral.
10:46Given the amount of problems that still need to be dealt with on Earth.
10:49There will always be problems on Earth.
10:51Then we should deal with them and not go off looking for brave new worlds
10:53simply because we've messed up our own.
10:55Venture capital will never go into climatic rehabilitation programs.
10:59It's naive to think that it will just because it should.
11:02Victoria.
11:03Professor.
11:04Look at that.
11:05An unstable, icy little moon.
11:08Yeah.
11:08Composed of deadly sulfurous chemicals.
11:10I know what it means.
11:10An environment which couldn't be more hostile to human survival.
11:14Yet there are people down there.
11:15People in danger.
11:16People who may be dead by now.
11:17Who knew the risks they took.
11:19It didn't stop them.
11:20Why?
11:21Do you think they risked their lives for commercial gain?
11:23I don't know why individuals...
11:24I'll tell you why.
11:25Because it's a chance to experiment with types of chemistry
11:28which can't be done anywhere else in the solar system.
11:31At great expense and great risk and for no obvious benefit to mankind.
11:34Must individuals spurred on by vision always be dragged down by mankind's lumpen needs.
11:43But Daedalus, the whole idea of sending research colonies to the stars, it's scientific folly.
11:49Everything is, to start with.
11:52The benefits are by-products of research and commercial interest, not the aim.
11:56Don't you see?
11:59Victoria.
12:00Don't ask me.
12:01I mean, it's an argument that goes round and round and ends up nowhere.
12:05Then let's resolve it.
12:07A debate.
12:08Debate?
12:09Must be a student debating society in this place.
12:11Choose your motion, Mr Gervais, and I will oppose it.
12:15Yeah.
12:16Yeah, okay.
12:19Yes?
12:21Dr Chazalot wants to see me.
12:22He says you know about it.
12:24Yes, that's right, Mr Lewis.
12:25I'll be in Comsen in five minutes.
12:33Sometimes I don't think he's human.
12:35He hasn't slept for 20 hours at least.
12:37He's got a hell of a crisis on his hands and he wants a debate about the ethics of Dealer's
12:41Ten.
12:41Yeah, you've got to admire him.
12:42Oh, I do.
12:44But he'll chew you up and spit you out, Philippe.
12:46We'll see you, won't we?
12:49Thanks for coming over.
12:50Will this take long, Annie?
12:51I haven't got much time.
12:52I hate leaving Brelin in Comsen.
12:53I don't want to have a word with you about your eyes.
12:56It's Brelin, isn't it?
12:57Look, I've explained it.
12:58No, it's not just Brelin.
12:58We're all concerned.
12:59How many more tests do I have to take?
13:02It's about the tests.
13:03What they're telling us.
13:06Look, I'm just tired, that's all.
13:07Can we talk about this later?
13:08Fimbo, listen.
13:09Your eyes are getting worse.
13:11There's corneal damage.
13:12Each time you're subject to cosmic radiation, there's a little more damage.
13:17And that damage is going to be permanent.
13:19So I'll avoid exposure.
13:21Out here, you can't.
13:22You know that.
13:22No protection is 100%.
13:24What are you telling me?
13:25That I won't be spotting comets by the time I'm 70?
13:27I think I can live with that.
13:28I'm saying that you could go blind long before you're 70.
13:34Blind?
13:36The safest place.
13:38The only place for you is back on Earth.
13:41The Earth's atmosphere is the best protection against cosmic radiation.
13:43You know that.
13:44No, my life's in space.
13:45I've made that decision.
13:46Sorry, Fimbo.
13:47Must be something you can do.
13:48Some sort of treatment.
13:49Yeah, if there was, believe me, I would.
13:50There's experimental work on Island 5.
13:52It's no use, Fimbo.
13:55You rather know about this?
13:57It was an official medical.
14:19I've spotted the Santa Maria before anyone else.
14:23There's nothing wrong with my eyes.
14:25Everyone gets tired.
14:27Lots of people used to wear glasses.
14:29You only have to look at the hours at work.
14:36Fimbo.
14:37Oh, hello.
14:38Christophe told me.
14:39Are you okay?
14:40I'm...
14:41Do I look okay?
14:43I'm so sorry.
14:45Why are you sorry?
14:46It's hardly your fault.
14:47I think we're all a little guilty of making light of things,
14:50of reassuring you.
14:51I really thought...
14:53I'd thought of everything.
14:55You know how you do, you lie.
14:56I wake worrying, and you think, all right.
14:58What is the worst thing that could possibly happen?
15:01I don't, actually.
15:02Don't you?
15:03That's the way I deal with things.
15:03What is the worst thing that could happen?
15:07Another eye operation?
15:09Well, I'd survive that.
15:10It wouldn't be very pleasant.
15:13Someone else getting their captaincy.
15:15I'd even convince myself I could cope with that.
15:19After all, I'd still be first officer here on the earlier,
15:21which is where I belong, after all.
15:23It's only a job, Fimbo.
15:25Now I haven't even got that.
15:28It's a dead-end job on a lumbering old spaceship.
15:30I never thought they could do this to me.
15:32They can't make me go back to Earth.
15:34You can't take risks with your health.
15:37If I can't do what I want to do with my life,
15:43then I might as well be dead.
16:11Let's go.
16:14What about you?
16:15Me?
16:15Nothing wrong with me.
16:17Just get into my stride, doctor.
16:18Just beginning to wake up.
16:20Petra, Columbus College Student Files.
16:23Who's in charge of the debating society?
16:28Fimbo?
16:30See that spot on the ceiling?
16:33What spot?
16:33Aha!
16:34So you can't see it.
16:36Well, what about it if it is, though?
16:38Nothing wrong with my eyes.
16:39Drink this.
16:41What's up?
16:42I think he's still in shock.
16:44They want to send me back to Earth.
16:46Tell him it's not such a bad place, Victoria.
16:48Tell him it's not a death sentence.
16:50I can't do anything with him.
16:52There's nothing, nothing for me there.
16:54Well, why do you hate Earth so much, Fimbo?
16:55Because it's ugly and crowded and corrupt.
16:58Oh.
16:59You've forgotten all the nice things.
17:01You've been away too long.
17:03One day, Jean-Francois and I will have a cottage in the Dordogne and you can come and visit us.
17:07You can be our first visitor, Fimbo, and you can stay as long as you like.
17:12Is that before you go to Diedler's or after?
17:16Think of it.
17:17Fresh air, green fields, real sunshine.
17:19When I first looked down, I saw the Earth growing smaller and bluer beneath me.
17:26I felt like I was escaping.
17:29I was going to a place where it didn't matter where you came from, what connections you had, whether you
17:33had any money.
17:35A place where the true, heroic nature of mankind, pitted against the elements, could win through.
17:49I don't see why a logical pattern of discords like that couldn't sound as satisfying as harmonies.
17:56It's been tried before.
17:57It didn't catch on.
17:58What do you mean by satisfying?
18:00Well, you know, pleasing to the ear.
18:02Quite.
18:02What society defines is harmonious.
18:05But who decided that?
18:10Hello?
18:11Oh, Mr. Weatherby.
18:13I was looking for Byron Wilkinson.
18:15Ah, so you're Mr. Breland for me?
18:18I'm told you're the person I should speak with.
18:21I hope you're wrong.
18:22You are the student arts hoc organiser?
18:24That's not a word I care to use.
18:25I facilitate events.
18:28But you are responsible for the debating society.
18:32Such as it is.
18:33Mr. Gervais and I wondered if there was room for a small debate in your current programme of events.
18:39You mean a reasoned argument about two sides of a topic leading to some kind of a vote?
18:43Yeah, that's a general idea.
18:45Well, if you really want to.
18:47Personally, I feel that mere words are inadequate for conveying the full complexity of human thought and ideas.
18:53But I wouldn't interfere in someone else's idea of fun.
18:58A debating society?
18:59In this place?
19:01The last recorded motion was in 2047.
19:04Someone proposed that debates were boring.
19:07And there was no opposer.
19:08You should have told him you're too busy with Romeo and Juliet.
19:10I'm not going to be busy.
19:12But you're the producer.
19:14So, everyone else does the work.
19:16I thought that was the deal.
19:17Isn't that the deal?
19:18Well, some producer you're going to turn out to be.
19:21Ah, there you are.
19:24I'm sorry.
19:25No problem.
19:27Any news on Drummond?
19:28I'll begin to get a tracking signal breaking through occasionally.
19:31Good.
19:35Everything all right?
19:36Yeah, all right.
19:37Let's go.
19:37Good.
19:43I understand what it means, you know.
19:45Results of my last medical.
19:47Rotten luck.
19:48I was as shocked as you were.
19:50So, I guess I'll have to withdraw my application.
19:53The medical is a strict requirement.
19:56I'll never know if I would have made captain.
19:58You're the obvious candidate.
20:01Yes?
20:02Yes.
20:03Yes, you might easily have got it.
20:05Really?
20:05Absolutely.
20:06Right on line for it.
20:07Oh, if I could believe that, it would make this a less bitter moment.
20:10And a promising first officer like you, the commissioner would have been mad not to promote you.
20:15But these things happen.
20:17Transmission coming through an emergency frequency.
20:20Petra, main screen.
20:21Alert medicom.
20:23Rhinos to Ilya.
20:24Are you receiving?
20:25Over.
20:25Yes, Commander.
20:27Have you made contact?
20:28Negative, Ilya.
20:30Repeat, negative.
20:31What happened, Paul?
20:33Thick sulfur smog.
20:35Dioxide snow.
20:36Zero visibility.
20:37I was flying on instruments.
20:39Unpredictable terrain.
20:40Those relief maps are useless.
20:42Every time I went in, the warning lights would go.
20:44Every single red alert on the instrument panel.
20:47I couldn't get near the landing area.
20:49Where have you been all this time?
20:51I've tried every trick in the book.
20:53Every approach I could think of.
20:55I've been in again and again.
20:58I thought I'd better report back before you gave up on me.
21:01Okay.
21:01Come back in.
21:02Petra, prepare for shuttle dunking.
21:04There must be something more I can do.
21:06Some way to override the safeties.
21:08For one moment there that the storm cleared, I could see the base.
21:12Return to the Ilya.
21:13The coordinates are coming through now.
21:18I could take the second shuttle down.
21:20No.
21:20Why not?
21:21It's fueled up.
21:21It's ready to go.
21:22It's too dangerous.
21:24If Drummond couldn't get through, no one can.
21:25What happens when the storm clears?
21:27We're monitoring that in the lab.
21:28It'll be too late by then.
21:29We need someone already down there.
21:30Flying around in that, it's stupid.
21:32They've got less than three hours before their emergency life support gives out.
21:36I'll circle at a safe distance.
21:38I'll only need a two minute lull in the storm and I can land.
21:40It would be suicide.
21:41Don't exaggerate.
21:42It's nothing like suicide.
21:43It would be dangerous and foolhardy.
21:45You might as well let me try.
21:49No, I'm not sending anyone else down there.
21:51Why not?
21:52You're needed here.
21:52Oh, to do what?
21:53Admire the view?
21:54Signal from Interworld Research Base.
21:57Petra.
21:57Receiving you.
21:58Yes, Ilya.
21:59We have had to abort the rescue mission for the moment.
22:02I know.
22:02But we will continue to monitor conditions and at the first break...
22:06It's too late.
22:07The storms are intensifying.
22:09Please abort all rescue attendants.
22:11We will be ready if there is any improvement.
22:14There is nothing more that you can do and we know that.
22:17And we know that.
22:18We will not give up while there is still any chance.
22:21We have three hours power left.
22:24The Interworld people are working to secure their research records for those who come after us.
22:29I must thank you for all the valiant efforts.
22:33They have given us hope.
22:34No.
22:41For God's sake!
22:42Someone's got to go down there.
22:44You've got to let me try.
22:45Don't you think I'd be down there myself if I thought it would do any good?
22:47We have to keep trying until the last possible moment.
22:49Look, I know how you feel.
22:51No, you don't.
22:51We are all human beings when faced with situations like this.
22:55You said a moment ago that I could be captain.
22:57All I'm asking for is this one chance.
22:59No one is going down there.
23:01What do you mean by yourself?
23:02Lewis, you don't have to prove anything.
23:04If not to you, then to myself.
23:06This is neither the time nor the place for futile gestures.
23:09I am acting captain of this ship, Professor.
23:12What's to stop me launching the shuttle on my own without going through Compton?
23:14Mr Lewis.
23:15What will you do?
23:17Court-martial me?
23:18Do you think I care?
23:18Do you think that would stop me?
23:22I know I can do it.
23:26Well, I can't send Drummond down there again.
23:28Not straight away.
23:29I've got a plan to bypass the shuttle warning systems.
23:34I must be mad.
23:36All right.
23:53All right.
