00:01:58We're under heavy enemy fire, taking evasive maneuvers now.
00:02:03Since there's a wrong line, keep her steady. We should be good, Pops.
00:02:10Hey, but this is not good. Find us a way out of here.
00:02:13I'm working on it.
00:02:14Look out!
00:02:20There's a wormhole not too far from here.
00:02:23Straight ahead.
00:02:24Can we make that?
00:02:25Did you step on it?
00:02:27Hold on to something.
00:02:33I need a visual on that wormhole.
00:02:36200 meters.
00:02:3712 o'clock.
00:02:49Hey, it's now or never.
00:02:51100 meters.
00:02:53Hybrid thrusters engaged.
00:03:01This is it.
00:03:03Punch it.
00:03:21Yes?
00:03:22I need those hard readings on the Nevada Telescope.
00:03:25It's Wednesday.
00:03:26What's that supposed to mean?
00:03:28It means that I haven't gotten to those just yet.
00:03:30But we need those numbers to report to the board.
00:03:32And?
00:03:34And you were told today was the day we needed those numbers.
00:03:36Okay, well, first and foremost, let me congratulate you on being the biggest bitch in the entire building.
00:03:42Second, I'm one man.
00:03:44One man!
00:03:45If you think you can monitor those readings and deliver data calibrations between the ISS in Houston,
00:03:51well, I'd love to see you try.
00:03:53You can't talk to me that way.
00:03:55Oh, I just did.
00:03:57So...
00:04:01How long do you need?
00:04:04I'll have them on your desk by the end of the day.
00:04:07I'll let everyone upstairs know.
00:04:09Thanks.
00:04:10Thanks.
00:04:43I'll let everyone know.
00:04:44Sharp?
00:04:45What the hell are you doing?
00:04:53Nothing.
00:04:55Andromeda.
00:04:56The program was shut down 16 months ago.
00:04:59Correct?
00:05:00That's right.
00:05:01It was redacted to the point where it otherwise never existed, yeah?
00:05:07Correct.
00:05:09Then how do you explain this?
00:05:13You were told by my predecessor to destroy all evidence that the program even existed.
00:05:19Yet, Archives has no inventory of the items on that list.
00:05:24Do you care to explain that?
00:05:26I had those servers destroyed just as I was instructed to do.
00:05:30Yes.
00:05:31But the data was backed up, and there's something on there called the neuroinhibitor.
00:05:38Sounds ominous.
00:05:42Archives should have told you about any backup.
00:05:44McGrady was your partner under William Crawford and the Andromeda program.
00:05:48McGrady works Archives now.
00:05:52Do you see what I'm getting at?
00:05:56You better take this down there and make sure he knows what you're doing.
00:06:00There's pressure from the kind of people that are elected into office, not appointed.
00:06:07We've been able to keep those lives a secret the last year and a half, but in this age of
00:06:10whistleblowers and the dark web, we cannot leave anything to chance.
00:06:17Do I make myself clear?
00:06:21I've dedicated 26 years of my life and ruined two marriages for this project.
00:06:26Then you should know that after this discussion, there aren't any more discussions.
00:06:34They're waiting on me in D.C.
00:06:37Take care of this.
00:06:38Now.
00:06:40Now.
00:06:42Now.
00:07:00McGrady.
00:07:02Sharp.
00:07:04What the heck are you doing down here?
00:07:08Could ask you the same thing.
00:07:10Well, they had me logging telescopes in Nevada.
00:07:12Far cry from the old gig, to say the least.
00:07:15I thought that was, uh, Cynthia's job.
00:07:19It was.
00:07:20It's mine now.
00:07:21She mostly just bugs me for data every three weeks or so.
00:07:26Well, so, archives.
00:07:31The one and only.
00:07:33How's things on 7?
00:07:34Mmm.
00:07:36Stimulating.
00:07:37At least you have windows.
00:07:38Fresh air.
00:07:40Sometimes I forget what time of day it is in there.
00:07:45Do you miss it?
00:07:49Let's grab a coffee.
00:07:51It's bad, but...
00:08:00I'm sorry I didn't get to speak with you after we left the office that day.
00:08:05I didn't know things were going to get this bad.
00:08:08Don't worry about it.
00:08:10I know how things work around here.
00:08:13Listen, you asked me if I ever missed it.
00:08:17Yeah.
00:08:19Every day.
00:08:21What about you?
00:08:23It's the excitement, mostly.
00:08:25The idea that you get to wake up every morning and have no clue what to expect.
00:08:31That feeling you get when you look up at the sky and...
00:08:33You know, there's so much more out there than anyone here will ever understand.
00:08:38Yeah.
00:08:38We're pioneers.
00:08:40It's hard to accept the fact that all of our ideas and research are trapped in these buildings.
00:08:49What was that song that William used to play?
00:08:53In his office?
00:08:55No, no, no.
00:08:55On the Monet.
00:08:58What the hell was that song?
00:09:19Must have been before my time.
00:09:22Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?
00:09:25No, there's something else.
00:09:33Any of that look familiar?
00:09:35Yeah.
00:09:36This is a metadata file from Andromeda.
00:09:39You weren't supposed to destroy all that stuff.
00:09:42You told me to keep the neurodegener somewhere safe.
00:09:45That's exactly what I did.
00:09:46The machine kept sending readings until one day it just stopped.
00:09:51Well, who made the backups?
00:09:52I don't know.
00:09:54What do you mean you don't know?
00:09:55Who else had access to those files?
00:09:56Just me.
00:09:59No, that's impossible.
00:10:01I swear it.
00:10:02Look, I did what you told me to do.
00:10:05Everything but the actual machine is gone.
00:10:10Oh, it can't be.
00:10:15What do you think they're doing up there?
00:10:35What do you think they're doing up there?
00:11:09Aidan, I think we need to talk about what happened out there today.
00:11:14It wasn't my fault.
00:11:15I didn't say that it was.
00:11:17But it's becoming more and more dangerous for us to stay on Algos.
00:11:21You think we should leave?
00:11:24We've come so far.
00:11:26Not we.
00:11:27You.
00:11:29And where would I go?
00:11:31We need help.
00:11:33There will be more attacks.
00:11:35I can't lose you out here.
00:11:36You're talking about sending me back?
00:11:38I thought that was impossible.
00:11:40That's not entirely true.
00:11:42There may be a way after all.
00:11:45There's an ancient technology I discovered here when I first entered Andromeda.
00:11:50Telekinetic holography.
00:11:52It was presented to me by an alien species on a distant planet.
00:11:55Time travel?
00:11:56Not exactly.
00:11:57I was taught that with enough raw energy infused into the prodigy chip,
00:12:01you can appear to be in one place while still physically being in another.
00:12:06It's the building blocks of what drives the neuroinhibitor.
00:12:09So why are you telling me this?
00:12:11You have to go back to Earth.
00:12:13In the kinetic sense.
00:12:16Find Sharp and McCrady and get them to bring you out.
00:12:20What?
00:12:21Why?
00:12:21Because you, me, and the projections aren't going to be able to fight off our enemies for much longer.
00:12:26We need reinforcements.
00:12:28Reinforcement?
00:12:29Show the people in charge that you're alive.
00:12:32Convince them to come join us.
00:12:33Strength in numbers is the only way to save Algos.
00:12:37And what if they don't agree to come?
00:12:40One look at Aiden Crawford back from the dead, they will.
00:13:20And it will assure them to take care of what ise the largest matter is.
00:13:21First and the weakest part is to leave the businessman.
00:13:24There is a link to normal flake.
00:13:24That means a smile.
00:13:24And theise GRACE need another small room.
00:13:30Let's go.
00:14:18So here we go.
00:14:36Hello?
00:14:41And you messaged me?
00:14:43He said to meet you here, he said it was urgent.
00:14:45No, you messaged me.
00:14:46And how'd you even get in here?
00:14:48My key card still worked.
00:14:50You did message me.
00:14:52I have it right here.
00:14:53Here, I'll show you what you sent me.
00:15:00That's weird.
00:15:04What's going on?
00:15:05I don't know.
00:15:07Déjà vu.
00:15:19It's that sense of having already seen something,
00:15:22coupled with knowing you haven't actually seen it,
00:15:25which is why it catches you off guard.
00:15:29It's nice to see you too, guys.
00:15:33How is this possible?
00:15:39Telekinetic holography.
00:15:41A recognizer.
00:15:42That's right.
00:15:44Wait, how the hell did you know that?
00:15:47William told me about it.
00:15:48It was the first thing you programmed into the neuroinhibitor
00:15:51after he returned from that first mission.
00:15:52But how were you able to pull this off
00:15:54without destroying half the planet in the process?
00:15:56Yes.
00:15:58You must be projecting from somewhere close,
00:15:59but not too close.
00:16:01Otherwise, we'd all be dead.
00:16:02You mean the physics don't add up?
00:16:04That's right.
00:16:06We rewrote the laws.
00:16:08Pretty simple, actually.
00:16:10You know what?
00:16:11Never mind all that.
00:16:12Aiden, we tried to make contact with you after NB-22.
00:16:16You never applied,
00:16:17and the department shut down the program indefinitely.
00:16:21Why didn't you return any of our messages?
00:16:25Guys, so much has happened.
00:16:36After the attack on NB-22,
00:16:38my father and I colonized planet after planet
00:16:41in hopes that one of these new worlds
00:16:43could become Earth's new home.
00:17:02Every species we encountered warned us of the same thing,
00:17:05that our enemies would not stop hunting us.
00:17:08We would never be safe.
00:17:10They were right.
00:17:12We had no choice.
00:17:13We left NB-22 behind
00:17:16and jumped a wormhole to the far side of Andromeda,
00:17:19two million light-years from Earth.
00:17:27But even there,
00:17:28we fought battles with new enemies.
00:17:45Wormhole.
00:17:47Yes, wormhole theory is real.
00:17:51Einstein was right.
00:17:52So did you eventually find us a new home?
00:17:54We did.
00:17:55My father named it Algos.
00:17:58We lived there for a while with the projections.
00:18:02My father found a way to spawn more projections,
00:18:04and before we knew it,
00:18:05we had a sprawling port within our reach.
00:18:08A port?
00:18:10Algos was created as a space station.
00:18:13Oxygen, docking stations.
00:18:15We nearly had it ready for humans to start the migration process.
00:18:20We told you already.
00:18:21The program's been eliminated.
00:18:23Completely.
00:18:25There's new leadership here,
00:18:26and no one will listen to us now.
00:18:29They will,
00:18:30if we show them what we have up there.
00:18:33And how are we going to do that?
00:18:35The neuroinhibitor.
00:18:36But you're not real.
00:18:38And no one else can use that machine besides you,
00:18:41unless you can find a way to come back in your physical form.
00:18:45Wait, wait a minute.
00:18:48What aren't you telling us?
00:18:52Why did your father send you back here alone?
00:18:58Something found us on Algos.
00:19:04My father and the projections were working on a way
00:19:07to manage the wind shears on the planet.
00:19:19We knew that no human transport could land
00:19:22without the right stabilizers.
00:19:23They were nearly there.
00:19:28I was on the last of my patrols
00:19:30when I saw it appear in the sky.
00:19:39The mothership.
00:19:45A mothership.
00:19:49It's massive.
00:19:52Armed to the teeth with one purpose.
00:19:56Its own defense.
00:20:00So what happened next?
00:20:03All-out war.
00:20:06A slaughter, really.
00:20:10My father and I took off in our ship
00:20:13and just barely made it out by the skin of our teeth.
00:20:18Rejections weren't so lucky.
00:20:20So this Algos,
00:20:22is it lost?
00:20:25Maybe.
00:20:27Maybe.
00:20:29I have a plan.
00:20:35You care to share it with us?
00:20:38You still have the neuro-inhibitor?
00:20:40At home, yeah.
00:20:41Good.
00:20:42You bring it back here.
00:20:43And Sharp,
00:20:45you get us an audience.
00:20:47How am I supposed to do that?
00:20:49We've both been demoted.
00:20:51I work in standards and procedures now,
00:20:52and McGrady here works in the basement
00:20:54of the old archives building.
00:20:58You just get the powers that be in this room,
00:21:01and I'll handle the rest.
00:21:08Please.
00:21:10Guys.
00:21:11After everything we've been through,
00:21:14this is our last and absolute best chance.
00:21:19You want us to try and convince NASA
00:21:22to open the Andromeda program back up?
00:21:24What, do you think they're just gonna
00:21:26hand us back over the keys?
00:21:28Why would...
00:21:29Maybe when they see Aiden Crawford
00:21:31risen from the dead.
00:21:39And how do we know
00:21:39that's gonna be enough?
00:21:42It was for you.
00:21:52Persuasive when he wants to be.
00:22:20Sharp.
00:22:21Have a call with the NSA diplomat
00:22:22to NATO in ten minutes.
00:22:24You have five.
00:22:25Go.
00:22:26Andromeda.
00:22:27Never heard of it.
00:22:29Come on, that's not gonna fly with me.
00:22:30It's the last thing you spoke with me
00:22:31about when you were in here.
00:22:34With all due respect, Joe,
00:22:35I think you've wandered
00:22:36a little past your pay grade.
00:22:39And did I ask you to get
00:22:40with McGrady and tie that off
00:22:41once and for all?
00:22:43What if I told you
00:22:44that the program could work?
00:22:45That it did, in fact, work?
00:22:48Worked?
00:22:49We have two dead bodies
00:22:50thanks to that program.
00:22:51And almost a dozen more
00:22:53still unaccounted for.
00:22:55Aiden Crawford is alive.
00:22:57His father, William, is as well.
00:23:00What is this?
00:23:04There really aren't
00:23:07sufficient words to describe it.
00:23:09You'd be best suited
00:23:11to see it with your own eyes,
00:23:13in person.
00:23:14So what?
00:23:16Joe,
00:23:18I'm due to retire.
00:23:20Next year.
00:23:22And believe me,
00:23:24I need my pension.
00:23:25But if you think
00:23:27I'm gonna sit here
00:23:28and let you dangle me
00:23:30with this...
00:23:31He just wants an audience.
00:23:33That's all he's asking.
00:23:35Who?
00:23:40All right.
00:23:42After the NSA meeting,
00:23:44word come down,
00:23:46wheat'll be the first crop to go.
00:23:49Followed by corn.
00:23:53And soy after that.
00:23:57I'll meet you after.
00:23:59Where?
00:24:01In the same room
00:24:02where this all began.
00:24:08Nice beard, by the way.
00:24:10Oh, thank you.
00:24:11You'd be surprised
00:24:12how long it takes
00:24:13to grow a beard in space.
00:24:14Yeah, I'll bet.
00:24:24So what's wrong with it?
00:24:26It's been in my basement
00:24:27for a year and a half.
00:24:28She needs a little love.
00:24:32Wait, a year and a half?
00:24:34Yeah, why?
00:24:36Wait, time moves more
00:24:38slowly out there, doesn't it?
00:24:40Well, who won the World Series?
00:24:42The Yankees, who else?
00:24:44Figures.
00:24:45Hey, what about
00:24:47Oscar for Best Picture?
00:24:49Some film about a shark
00:24:51in a lake in Texas.
00:24:53What?
00:24:53I didn't see it.
00:24:54I heard it was terrible.
00:24:57The mainframe is fried.
00:24:59I'm going to have to
00:25:00take her apart.
00:25:01How long will that take?
00:25:03A couple of hours.
00:25:03Why?
00:25:05There's someone else
00:25:06I need to see.
00:25:08You can't leave.
00:25:10I mean, can you?
00:25:13I'm asking.
00:25:16I'll be back by the time
00:25:17you're done with that thing.
00:25:20Oh, wait.
00:25:28I don't know.
00:25:29I don't know.
00:25:32I don't know.
00:25:40I don't know.
00:26:19Will it work?
00:26:21Can I change their minds all at once?
00:26:24I've come all this way.
00:26:28Maybe it's best he never returns.
00:26:30Maybe they're not ready.
00:26:34Maybe you were right all this time.
00:26:37The marks left behind by my species are too often only scars.
00:26:40The marks left behind by my species are too often as small as my species.
00:26:45Now I wish you don't even need to have them.
00:26:47This was all of it, so I was like a male victim.
00:26:50And now for the observation, you wouldn't understand what are these rules in the schedule,
00:26:54but there was all self-hides in the region.
00:27:16Hello, Rebecca.
00:27:26Aiden?
00:27:30It's me.
00:27:34Hello?
00:27:36After what you've done to me, all you can say is, hello?
00:27:40Can I sit?
00:27:41Hell no, you can't sit.
00:27:43You're dead.
00:27:44Oh, Lord have mercy.
00:27:46I am losing my mind.
00:27:50I'm not dead either.
00:27:52I'm what we call a telekinetic apparition.
00:27:56I'm not even really in this room, to be honest with you.
00:28:01You're not real.
00:28:04This isn't happening.
00:28:06You are dead.
00:28:08I saw the news.
00:28:10Drowned in that bathtub in your apartment.
00:28:15Please, if I could just sit.
00:28:31I'm sure you have questions.
00:28:33Just one.
00:28:34How?
00:28:44You know, I once sat right here.
00:28:47Just like this, across from you.
00:28:50And you told me that you knew with every fiber of your soul that people want to get better.
00:28:56Do you remember that?
00:29:00But people?
00:29:04People are happy to run in place forever.
00:29:10Probably not.
00:29:13So, you just think you can appear in and out of people's lives whenever you feel like?
00:29:19We have to allow ourselves to be seen by the people who really care about us.
00:29:24For me, that was you.
00:29:25I knew it when you sat right there and pleaded with me to rethink the idea of never coming back
00:29:30to this place.
00:29:32Your caring about what happens to me is the reason I came back.
00:29:45After you left, I took a break from my practice.
00:29:52You are the only person that I couldn't help in some way, shape, or form.
00:29:59That was a tough pill to swallow.
00:30:03No pun intended.
00:30:08But you did help.
00:30:10And I'm here to say thank you.
00:30:14So now what?
00:30:17What do you mean?
00:30:18You just get up from that chair and just disappear into thin air or return to wherever you came from?
00:30:28Like I said, I'm not really here on earth with you.
00:30:33I'm someplace I hope you get to see one day.
00:30:37You know what I noticed while I was gone?
00:30:41Machines are a lot simpler than people.
00:30:45When you break a machine, it's a lot less complicated to fix.
00:31:01Aiden, will I ever see you again?
00:31:08I don't know, Doc.
00:31:13But I sure hope so.
00:31:39What the hell happened to it?
00:31:41I had to refresh some cash files.
00:31:43This thing got pretty beat up over the last year or so.
00:31:55Where the hell is Aiden?
00:31:56He had to run an errand.
00:31:59He what?
00:32:01Yeah, he said he had to see somebody.
00:32:03He right back, though.
00:32:05And you just let him leave?
00:32:08What the heck was I supposed to do?
00:32:10It isn't exactly up to me, you know?
00:32:12Besides, I think he could walk through walls if he wanted to.
00:32:15Norris is on his way down here right now, and he's expecting to see some next-level shit,
00:32:19and you're telling me you have no idea where Aiden's at?
00:32:28What's this?
00:32:35That's the, uh, the one the program asked you to destroy?
00:32:41Sir, I can explain.
00:32:43Where is he?
00:32:47He's not here.
00:32:49Wait, he's not actually in the building?
00:32:51He was.
00:32:53What'd you do?
00:32:53Lose him?
00:32:54He's not a dog.
00:32:55He'll be here any minute.
00:32:57I don't have time for this.
00:32:58Sharp, you had your time.
00:33:00Get rid of all this shit now.
00:33:04It's Norris.
00:33:06Right.
00:33:17It can't be.
00:33:21Norris, allow me to introduce you to Aiden Crawford.
00:33:30We buried you.
00:33:32I was there.
00:33:34I saw them lower your casket into the dirt.
00:33:37I'm sorry to disappoint.
00:33:42My body is still about 10,000 light-years from Earth.
00:33:46It's the closest I could get without affecting the actual physics of the planet.
00:33:51Aiden projecting himself takes a massive amount of energy.
00:33:53If he were to try it any closer, it'd be like the equivalent of 10 atomic bombs detonating all at
00:33:58once.
00:33:59Aiden is still plugged into the Andromeda program.
00:34:02What you see of them here is a live hologram.
00:34:05Telekinetic holography.
00:34:05I've been to the archives.
00:34:06I've read the files.
00:34:08So you know why I'm here.
00:34:10To be honest, I thought it was a farce.
00:34:13The Andromeda program worked.
00:34:16My father and I have found a new home for the people of Earth.
00:34:19Confirmed?
00:34:20Seated with land on two eyes.
00:34:22They called it Algos.
00:34:24Aiden came back at his father's discretion in hopes that we send reinforcements.
00:34:32For what purpose?
00:34:34To help defend Earth's new home.
00:34:39You want me to authorize a deleted program so that you and your dead dad can start a galactic war?
00:34:46Are you kidding me right now?
00:34:50Please.
00:34:50No.
00:34:52You listen to me.
00:34:54I don't know where you are.
00:34:56But wherever that is, you should stay.
00:35:00What's to say you even coming to us for help doesn't set off a chain of events that brings William's
00:35:07enemies down here looking to cut the head off the snake?
00:35:09That's impossible.
00:35:12Is it?
00:35:13You've got a dead man standing right here in front of you.
00:35:17Nothing is impossible!
00:35:20So we build another prodigy ship.
00:35:25Well, I stand corrected.
00:35:27That is impossible.
00:35:29He's Rhyde-Aid.
00:35:30The only person possible building another prodigy ship is William.
00:35:34Okay, there's a wormhole on the far side of Titan.
00:35:38Saturn, really?
00:35:38You can't see it from here on Earth, but if you can get me there, we can go back and
00:35:42forth together.
00:35:44Wormholes are impossible to find.
00:35:46No one knows when and where one will show up.
00:35:48My father proved wormhole theory is real.
00:35:50I can show you.
00:35:51We have mop coordinates, readings.
00:35:54This is ludicrous.
00:35:55Forget all that.
00:35:56You were the only person left on the planet that could use this neuroinhibitor.
00:36:01Okay, so you bring me out of Andromeda by using the wormhole.
00:36:05You bring the neuroinhibitor there, and I plug myself in.
00:36:09Then I come home, and I can show everyone how to get up there.
00:36:15Aiden, that is not possible.
00:36:16Why?
00:36:17We don't have the technology to do that.
00:36:20There's no way we could get the neuroinhibitor up to the wormhole in time.
00:36:23It would take years, decades.
00:36:28Sharp, you knew my father.
00:36:31There's no way he would have sent me back if this wasn't possible.
00:36:34That's it.
00:36:34I want this piece of metal in an incinerator, you hear me?
00:36:38And you.
00:36:40The people of Earth have no interest in defending a planet that may or may not exist.
00:36:46We can't just fly up to a wormhole near Saturn.
00:36:50The chances of us reaching that far out into the solar system are a million to one.
00:36:57Not to mention making it back.
00:36:59The probability of that happening is in the billions.
00:37:02It cannot happen.
00:37:05You're just afraid to try.
00:37:07All right, all right.
00:37:07Enough, enough, enough.
00:37:12Sir.
00:37:15Allow us to try to find another way.
00:37:19Please.
00:37:23You have into the morning.
00:37:25After that, both of your careers die with what's left of this Andromeda program.
00:37:30And you.
00:37:33Stay where you are before you tear a hole in the cosmos the size of Manhattan Island.
00:37:48Guys.
00:39:54I've got it.
00:39:56It's my mother.
00:39:59What about her?
00:40:01This whole time I was thinking that my father was the key to this, but it's her.
00:40:10I don't understand.
00:40:12I've got to go.
00:40:14You two keep working here.
00:40:15When I get back, I'll know how to solve this.
00:40:19Where are you going?
00:40:21To convince her to change his mind.
00:40:42You know, your father used to always tell me to teach our boy how to think, not what to
00:40:47think.
00:40:51You're tall.
00:40:54Hi, Mom.
00:40:57This isn't real, is it?
00:41:03It has to be.
00:41:09Okay.
00:41:10Well, for now, for now, let's talk.
00:41:14A mother and her son.
00:41:25Is it...
00:41:26Is it okay where you are?
00:41:30I'm lonely.
00:41:33I long for the things that I lost.
00:41:38You and your father...
00:41:49I found him.
00:41:52Your father?
00:41:54That's right.
00:41:55He's alive.
00:41:57We've been to amazing places together.
00:42:01I see.
00:42:04So he gets to leave for all these years.
00:42:07He gets to abandon us.
00:42:10And now he's just some big hero after all this time?
00:42:15That's not true.
00:42:18But, Mom, you have to listen to me.
00:42:20I need you to do something that's not going to make any sense right now.
00:42:26Okay.
00:42:28Just after my seventh birthday, there will be an accident.
00:42:32Dad is going to take me to the hospital and do something that will alter the course of the planet.
00:42:37Something so big that will rewrite the history books.
00:42:42Which part?
00:42:45All of it.
00:42:48I need you to convince him not to do it.
00:42:53Convince your father.
00:42:55Those are two words that just don't go together.
00:42:59You can make him listen.
00:43:01I know you can.
00:43:06Okay.
00:43:07I'm confused.
00:43:08So you don't want this amazing thing to happen?
00:43:12I do.
00:43:13But he has to let it happen to someone else.
00:43:16Okay.
00:43:16Who?
00:43:19Someone he trusts as much as me.
00:43:26Aiden, I don't understand what you're asking me to do.
00:43:31I'm asking you to be the hero of this story.
00:43:37But if this makes me the hero of this story, what does that make you?
00:43:51So who do you think it is?
00:43:54The person you trust the most besides Aiden?
00:43:57It's hard to say.
00:43:59William was a private man and you know that.
00:44:03Well, let's say Aiden can convince her.
00:44:06Then what?
00:44:08In theory, Aiden's time on MB-22 becomes void.
00:44:13He'll just wake up back home in his own bed as if nothing ever happened.
00:44:19I'm lost.
00:44:23Are you familiar with parallel dimension theory?
00:44:26Yeah, sure.
00:44:27It's hypothetical.
00:44:29Perhaps.
00:44:31But a hypothetical, self-contained plane of existence, coexisting with one's own?
00:44:53See that?
00:44:55That could be very real.
00:45:00All right.
00:45:02All right.
00:45:07This is our reality.
00:45:12The one that we're living and breathing in right now.
00:45:15Right?
00:45:20Now this, this point represents the moment where Aiden gets into his accident and his father installs his prodigy chip.
00:45:27Now, let's just say that, that mark moves before then.
00:45:34From this point forward, no matter whoever the new individual William entrusts with the prodigy chip,
00:45:42that person will go on to survive the attack on MB-22 and accompany him to Algos.
00:45:47Whoever the new individual William installs the prodigy chip into,
00:45:52that person will survive the attack on MB-22 and follow him on to Algos.
00:45:59Now,
00:46:05this is an alternate reality.
00:46:09One where everything plays out the exact same way,
00:46:12except someone else is up there filling Aiden's shoes.
00:46:17Now, this person will have infinitely more knowledge of the future.
00:46:21It's an unfair advantage, but we need all the help we can get moving forward.
00:46:26And the tie-off...
00:46:30We hope...
00:46:32to meet back up here.
00:46:39It'll be like everything happened while we were asleep.
00:46:42We won't even know what even happened.
00:46:44We'll just wake up in this altered state of reality.
00:46:49One in which William continues on to find us a new home.
00:46:55What about Aiden?
00:46:57What about him?
00:46:59It'll be as if we never ask him to use the neuroinhibitor at all.
00:47:04So he won't remember any of this?
00:47:06His training, MB-22?
00:47:09No, he won't need to, because it never happened.
00:47:19And William?
00:47:22Well, Aiden's already grown up with the fact that William spent more time and space than he has here on
00:47:27Earth.
00:47:28That's just something he's going to have to carry on with him, no matter which reality he continues in.
00:47:36But how do we know that it's worked?
00:47:40Now, that part...
00:47:45That part, I don't know.
00:48:05You're angry.
00:48:07Angry?
00:48:09I was angry two hours ago.
00:48:12I finally did it.
00:48:16For once, I would just love for you to come home on time and to not talk about space or
00:48:22whatever else you've been doing for the past 36 hours.
00:48:25I don't think you understand.
00:48:28You're right.
00:48:29I think I finally figured it out.
00:48:32Space travel in the palm of my hand.
00:48:35Technology beyond our time.
00:48:37I call it the neuroinhibitor.
00:48:40And this time, this time they won't be able to ignore me.
00:48:47Your son came to see me today.
00:48:51Aiden?
00:48:52Why wasn't he in school?
00:48:53Is he all right?
00:48:56Aiden came to see me today from the future.
00:49:01He was all grown up.
00:49:04And he had your eyes.
00:49:06Just like we imagined he would.
00:49:09You're talking about telekinetic holography.
00:49:13I figured that out too.
00:49:14But did he tell you how I did it?
00:49:16We didn't talk about work, William.
00:49:19Well, then what did you talk about?
00:49:42It's done.
00:49:48so what do we do now
00:49:52we wait
00:49:54yeah but how do we know that it worked
00:49:56how do we know that she actually talked to william
00:50:00i guess in the morning we just know
00:50:05not exactly
00:50:09aden when you saw your mother you didn't tell her any specifics about your accident did you like
00:50:15the time or date that it occurs no nothing at all nothing that would prevent your accident from
00:50:21actually happening remember you want your father to change his mind who he gives your prodigy chip
00:50:27to and your mother mustn't prevent your accident from actually happening she won't i was vague
00:50:34enough that she'll trust me
00:50:38then how do we know for sure because she's my mother sharp
00:50:46all right
00:50:48so if everything goes as planned
00:50:51your mother will convince william to put the prodigy chip into someone else
00:50:55that'll set off the alternate reality tangent and by the time we wake up in the morning
00:51:01hopefully everything will be back to normal
00:51:04except better
00:51:07a new normal
00:51:08exactly
00:51:11a new normal
00:51:13where you never
00:51:15seen or heard of migrady or myself
00:51:24the greater good right
00:51:28that's right
00:51:33that's right
00:51:34well i guess if this works
00:51:37this is goodbye fellas
00:51:43take care of yourself aden
00:51:46thank you aden
00:51:47really
00:51:49even if none of us have any memory of the last 16 months
00:51:53it has been an honor
00:51:56your father would be proud
00:52:02and if it doesn't work
00:52:09norris said that wheat will be the first crop to go
00:52:14then it has to work
00:52:16and it will
00:52:18god willing
00:52:24you
00:52:26who
00:52:47who
00:52:49who
00:53:29Hey, good morning, sir.
00:53:30What are you doing in my office?
00:53:32Your office?
00:53:33Archives is my department.
00:53:35You're up on the seventh floor.
00:53:37Seven?
00:53:39Yes, all the directors are up on seven.
00:53:43Are you feeling okay?
00:53:45You look a little flushed.
00:53:49The director?
00:53:51Yeah.
00:53:52Did you hit your head or something?
00:53:59It's fine.
00:54:00Yeah?
00:54:01Yeah.
00:54:01Okay.
00:54:02Sorry about that.
00:54:03Yeah, no worries.
00:54:05You have a good day.
00:54:05Yeah, you too.
00:54:06Okay.
00:54:06Bye.
00:54:26Sharp.
00:54:33Morning, director.
00:54:35What is happening?
00:54:37We're closing the loop.
00:54:39I'm sure you have questions.
00:54:42You did it.
00:54:46We did it.
00:54:48You're not really here.
00:54:52A lot has changed.
00:54:55Everything has changed.
00:55:00You were the one William trusted most after Aiden.
00:55:04William entrusted me with the final prodigy chip instead of his own son.
00:55:08Aiden was right.
00:55:10She got through to him.
00:55:13The attack on MB-22, that still happened.
00:55:15The projections, too.
00:55:17Everything happened the exact same way, except I swapped places with Aiden since he was no longer an option for
00:55:23the neuroinhibitor.
00:55:25You went in after William?
00:55:29What was it like?
00:55:35Well, after the attack on MB-22, William sent me further into Andromeda than any of us dreamt possible.
00:55:48Why you?
00:55:51William was busy building our new home.
00:56:01It was here that William sent me to learn about telekinetic holography.
00:56:18The fifth dimension belonged to a species far older than even our universe.
00:56:25You see, if there was a Big Bang, someone had to have their finger on the other side of the
00:56:29cosmos.
00:56:30It was them.
00:56:31They also showed me how to defeat our enemies so that the same fate we suffered on MB-22 didn't
00:56:36follow us as we set out to colonize a new planet.
00:56:41How it goes.
00:56:44That's right.
00:56:51What happened after the Mothership showed up?
00:56:53It was a full-scale attack on the planet.
00:57:00Our defenses tried to fight them off, but it was no use.
00:57:21I had to watch as their forces slaughtered the projections.
00:57:25Oh, my goodness.
00:57:26Oh, my goodness.
00:57:55Telekinetically, as the beings instructed me to do.
00:58:08I got into the ship's mainframe and programmed an emergency hydrogen burn sequence inside their thrusters.
00:58:21You see, even in space, everything burns.
00:58:32You destroyed the ship without ever really setting foot inside it?
00:58:36Sound familiar?
00:58:38And William?
00:58:40He's alive and well.
00:58:41Well, we both survived the attack on MB-22 when we went on to mine the colony.
00:58:47Sent readings back every chance we got.
00:58:50The very readings you took to the powers that be.
00:58:53Those readings made it possible for the first pods to launch to Algos by the end of the year.
00:59:01Incredible.
00:59:04How can I not remember any of this?
00:59:07You remember enough, for now.
00:59:11This...
00:59:13This changes everything we know about physics.
00:59:17Like I said, we did it.
00:59:20The Earth may run out of food, room, and even hope.
00:59:26There's a new home up there for those who choose to come.
00:59:29We're just up there waiting to see who shows up.
00:59:34What about Aiden?
00:59:36He doesn't know any of this happened.
00:59:39That was the agreement we made the last time the three of us stood in this room.
00:59:47So what happens now?
00:59:51You're the director of NASA.
00:59:52I'm sure you have a full day planned.
00:59:55Me?
00:59:56I've got one more stop.
00:59:58And then I've got a wormhole to catch.
01:00:01Wait!
01:00:03When will I see you again?
01:00:07Soon, I hope.
01:00:11See you, Robert.
01:00:31See you, Robert.
01:00:43Hey, Robert.
01:00:45This is the end.
01:01:02Sorry.
01:01:03See you, Robert.
01:01:03You know,
01:01:49Who are you?
01:01:57My name is Joseph Sharp.
01:02:00That name's supposed to mean something to me?
01:02:05Now that's a difficult question to answer.
01:02:09Oh, you got about three seconds to get out of my house before I call the police.
01:02:15I only need a minute or two and then I'll just go.
01:02:19Make it quick.
01:02:25Aiden, I work with your father.
01:02:28My father.
01:02:29At NASA.
01:02:31That's right.
01:02:33Well, my father's been dead for 20 years, so I don't know what you think you're going to get out
01:02:37of coming here.
01:02:41You're familiar with Andromeda, right?
01:02:44Of course I am. It's all over the news.
01:02:48So, you know the program's real?
01:02:52I know it's real for some people, but for the rest of us who can't afford a ticket into space,
01:02:57we'll just die here on Earth.
01:03:04Aiden, your father is alive.
01:03:07He asked me to give you this.
01:03:16What is it?
01:03:20I think it's best you have a look for yourself.
01:03:26That's it?
01:03:31That's it.
01:03:36Seriously, you need to read this.
01:03:42So, you really don't remember me?
01:03:46Should I?
01:03:48Should I?
01:03:52Should I?
01:03:53Should I?
01:03:55Should I?
01:03:57Should I?
01:04:08Nothing at all.
01:04:10Sorry.
01:04:13Isn't that something?
01:04:22For the record, this was your idea.
01:04:53Your mother told me you would have my eyes.
01:04:56Dad?
01:04:58It's good to see you again, son.
01:05:04What's happening?
01:05:06What is all this?
01:05:08That is an invitation to join me on Algos.
01:05:15So it's true.
01:05:17You're not really here?
01:05:19Oh, I've always been here, son.
01:05:21Whether you knew it or not.
01:05:26So you've just been gone all this time?
01:05:29And then you show up here with this?
01:05:32And expect me to what?
01:05:34I did the best I could.
01:05:41I may have regrets, but regrets are just part of the journey.
01:05:48I loved you from a distance, knowing that one day you would judge me for it.
01:05:55But like a shadow, I lived by your side.
01:06:01And you couldn't possibly know this, but I was so very proud of you.
01:06:08There's an old saying, it goes, boy doesn't become a man until his father dies.
01:06:16You've proven that one wrong.
01:06:19You've lived all this time as if I were gone, but I was always present.
01:06:29And you'll never know this.
01:06:34But I'm only alive because of you.
01:06:39I don't understand.
01:06:41The death of a man is not the death of his dream.
01:06:46Take the ticket.
01:06:48Come to Algos.
01:06:54Dad.
01:06:57I'll tell you what.
01:06:59We can talk when you get here.
01:07:01There.
01:07:04But I did have a question.
01:07:08It was you that convinced your mother, wasn't it?
01:07:13Convinced her to what?
01:07:17I thought so.
01:07:30Well, Eden, on the phone you mentioned you were having trouble sleeping.
01:07:37This being our first session, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
01:07:43I'm having trouble sleeping at night.
01:07:49That's actually quite common.
01:07:51What kind of trouble?
01:07:53They keep having the same dream.
01:07:56Every night's the same thing.
01:08:00Can you tell me about your dream?
01:08:07It's the kind of dream where you're going somewhere that's not possible.
01:08:13But when you wake up, it felt so real.
01:08:17You'd swear you were really there.
01:08:21Dreams can oftentimes be a mirror into one's own reality.
01:08:27Can you tell me where you were going in this dream of yours?
01:08:32Someplace bright.
01:08:54Sounds like you're describing heaven.
01:08:59It's brighter than that.
01:09:03Like going home and the only thing more unthinkable than leaving is staying behind.
01:09:13Like a pull towards something you can't explain.
01:09:20Fate.
01:09:25Are you going somewhere, Aiden?
01:09:34Sometimes the greatest pain comes from leaving.
01:09:38Like when a child leaves home or when a husband and wife leave for an extended period of time or
01:09:45for good.
01:09:46It's the pain of leaving that tears us apart.
01:09:52Still, if we were to avoid the pain of leaving, we'd never experience the joy of returning where we belong.
01:10:07What does it mean?
01:10:14In Greek it's translated as pain.
01:10:22He's in pain without me there.
01:10:33You know, I feel like I've known you for years.
01:10:38How does that make you feel?
01:10:42Maybe we've met before.
01:10:45Another life.
01:10:48Wouldn't that be something?
01:10:50Something.
01:10:55How does that make you feel?
01:11:02How does that make you feel?
01:11:13How does that make you feel?
01:11:15How does that make you feel?
01:11:15How does that make you feel?
01:11:16How does that make you feel?
01:11:16How does that make you feel?
01:11:16How does that make you feel?
01:11:16How does that make you feel?
01:11:16How does that make you feel?
01:11:16How does that make you feel?
01:11:17How does that make you feel?
01:11:17How does that make you feel?
01:11:19How does that make you feel?
01:11:21How does that make you feel?
