00:01:19Aria and I...
00:01:22Please.
00:01:30Let's just move on.
00:02:00Let's just move on.
00:02:02That's how it has to be, Thomas.
00:02:08This mission...
00:02:11comes first.
00:02:17Never had the luxury of anything else.
00:02:22You know what the stakes are.
00:02:25Right.
00:02:29The future of humanity and all.
00:02:39I suppose it does demand our attention.
00:02:45I'm sorry.
00:02:47This was a mistake.
00:02:53Best mistake I've made in years.
00:03:01Ari.
00:03:13Mayday.
00:03:14Mayday.
00:03:15Come on to mission control.
00:03:17We're falling.
00:03:23Thomas, the ship's breaking apart.
00:03:25There's no time.
00:03:27Evacuate.
00:03:28Now.
00:03:29Thomas, come in.
00:03:31Come on.
00:03:32Come on.

00:03:52Come on.
00:04:08Thomas, Thomas, come in.
00:04:17Please answer me.
00:04:18Oh, no.

00:06:36Need a way out.
00:06:37Does my navigator still work?
00:06:51Fuck.

00:07:05Fuck.

00:08:25Fuck.
00:08:27Fuck.
00:08:38Ah!
00:09:00How am I going to get up there?
00:09:04Almost there.
00:09:06Come on.
00:09:11Thomas!
00:09:12You there?
00:09:15Say something if you can hear me.
00:09:18Damn it!
00:09:23I don't have much time.
00:09:28Seriously?
00:09:30Okay.
00:09:32I can do this.
00:09:42Luckily we still have the rover.
00:09:58There!
00:09:59I can get out that way.
00:10:08Better get out of here before it all blows.
00:10:16No!
00:10:32No!
00:10:34No!
00:10:35No!
00:10:37No!
00:10:38No!
00:10:49No!
00:10:54No!
00:10:56No!
00:10:57No!
00:10:59No!
00:11:01No!
00:11:13What?
00:11:14What?
00:11:21I don't know.
00:12:10I don't know.
00:12:16I don't know.
00:13:05I don't know.
00:13:09I don't know.
00:13:21I don't know.
00:13:24I don't know.
00:13:51I don't know.
00:14:24I don't know.
00:14:53I don't know.
00:15:09I don't know.
00:15:38Oh, God.
00:15:42You'd better have made it out of there.
00:16:10Thomas!
00:16:15Where are you?
00:16:19I'll find you.
00:16:55Thomas!
00:16:56Thomas!
00:17:21I don't know.
00:17:40I don't know.
00:17:50I don't know.
00:17:53I don't know.
00:17:54I don't know.
00:17:55Looks like nothing was spared.
00:18:00I don't know.
00:18:03I don't know.
00:18:09I don't know.
00:18:21I don't know.
00:18:25You're up to have, but it may or...
00:18:51Maybe not...
00:18:51I don't know.
00:18:52I don't know.
00:18:58Oh, my God.
00:19:29Thomas, I'm inside. Can you hear me?
00:19:32Oh, my God.
00:20:03Oh, my God.
00:20:06Oh, my God.
00:20:26Oh, my God.
00:20:29Oh, my God.
00:20:30Oh, my God.
00:20:35Please be okay.
00:20:44Oh, my God.
00:20:47Oh, my God.
00:21:06Oh, my God.
00:21:09Oh, my God.
00:21:33Oh, my God.
00:21:36Oh, my God.
00:21:41Oh, my God.
00:21:44Oh, my God.
00:21:56Oh, my God.
00:22:05Oh, my God.
00:22:16Oh, my God.
00:22:29Oh, my God.
00:22:41Oh, my God.
00:22:42Oh, my God.
00:22:42Oh, my God.
00:22:54Oh, my God.
00:22:55It's Anne's, Thomas.
00:22:57I promise.
00:23:06Oh, no.
00:23:12Oh!
00:23:19Hell!
00:23:20Oh, crap.
00:23:50Oh, crap.
00:24:21Dr. Moncler to Officer Cross.
00:24:23Did you read me?
00:24:28Mission Control. Anybody copy?
00:24:31Sorry.
00:24:33No!
00:24:35No!
00:24:35No!
00:24:39No!
00:24:49ORGAN PLAYS
00:25:23ORGAN PLAYS
00:25:42Personal log of Dr. Arjan Montclair
00:25:46Reporting from the first manned exploration mission to Persephone
00:25:55Our ship is lost
00:25:56With all our equipment
00:26:00I don't know if we can salvage this mission
00:26:16But I've made a promise
00:26:18To bring answers
00:26:21To find the heat source of Persephone
00:26:24And tell the world
00:26:26If this place could save humanity
00:26:30Become our new home
00:26:46So that's where I'm headed
00:26:50The mission to evaluate habitability at the source
00:26:53Is officially underway
00:27:16Finally
00:27:17Finally
00:27:20Looks like I'm getting something
00:27:28Thomas
00:27:29Is that you?
00:27:32You're alive
00:27:33You're trying to contact me too
00:27:36Let's see if I can get a better signal from up there
00:27:50Dr. Montclair again
00:27:52I'm trying to reestablish contact with Officer Cross
00:27:55After our crash and separation
00:27:58I'm en route to reach higher ground to send a message
00:28:02After that
00:28:02I'll make my way to the source
00:28:04As per the mission objective
00:28:07Hoping that Officer Cross will do the same
00:28:20Don't look down
00:28:28Oh my god
00:28:32This peak
00:28:35Could a meteor impact be responsive
00:28:37That's gotta be Thomas, right?
00:28:39I'll stay where you are, Thomas
00:28:42I'll find you
00:28:58Ah
00:28:59Ah
00:28:59Ah
00:28:59Ah
00:28:59Ah
00:28:59Ah
00:29:26I don't know.
00:29:44Stay where you are, Thomas.
00:29:47We were not prepared for this much melting.
00:29:50We've got to be careful.
00:30:27We've got to be careful.
00:30:58We've got to be careful.
00:31:21We've got to be careful.
00:31:24We've got to be careful.
00:31:47I can't see anything.
00:31:51If you're from higher up, would you help?
00:32:14Let's just keep it closed.
00:32:19Fuuuck!
00:32:25That was scary.
00:32:40Melting ice again.
00:32:42I'd better watch my step.
00:33:10I dreamed of being the first to set foot on this planet.
00:33:14We did it, Thomas.
00:33:17Not as we expected, though.
00:33:44Let's go.
00:33:46Let's go.
00:33:47Let's go.
00:33:47Let's go.
00:33:51Let's go.
00:33:58Let's go.
00:34:06Let's go.
00:34:11Let's go.
00:34:14Let's go.
00:34:17Let's go.
00:34:37Let's go.
00:34:39Let's go.
00:34:42Let's go.
00:34:48Let's go.
00:34:52Let's go.
00:34:55Let's go.
00:34:57Let's go.
00:35:02Let's go.
00:35:10Let's go.
00:35:18Let's go.
00:35:24Let's go.
00:35:35Let's go.
00:35:38Let's go.
00:35:40Let's go.
00:35:46Oh, my God.
00:36:10Our whole childhood was a kind, always seeking higher ground.
00:36:15As soon as we settled another hurricane, this time's going to be different.
00:36:53Oh, my God.
00:36:56Oh, my God.
00:37:09I've spent my life chasing heights, chasing the ones I love, the way I'm used to that.
00:37:14And I just wasn't prepared to be chasing you.
00:37:29Oh, my God.
00:37:39Oh, my God.
00:37:51Oh, my God.
00:38:05Oh, my God.
00:38:26Oh, my God.
00:38:41Oh, my God.
00:38:45Oh, my God.
00:38:50Oh, my God.
00:38:53Oh, my God.
00:38:56Oh, my God.
00:39:14Oh, my God.
00:39:33Oh, my God.
00:39:40Oh, my God.
00:39:47Oh, my God.
00:39:56Oh, my God.
00:39:58Oh, my God.
00:40:10Oh, my God.
00:40:11Oh, my God.
00:40:11Oh, my God.
00:40:23Oh, my God.
00:40:27Oh, my God.
00:40:29Oh, my God.
00:40:33Oh, my God.
00:40:37Oh, my God.
00:41:05Oh, my God.
00:41:09Oh, my God.
00:41:12Oh, my God.
00:41:13Oh, my God.
00:41:19Oh, my God.
00:41:20Oh, my God.
00:41:20Oh, my God.
00:41:21Oh, my God.
00:41:59Almost there.
00:42:14Oh, my God.
00:42:36I don't know.
00:43:06Mission Control, this is Arjen Montclair. Does anyone copy?
00:43:14All stations, come in!
00:43:17Do you fucking copy?
00:43:22Thomas.
00:43:25Anyone?
00:43:34Please.
00:43:42Oh, shit.
00:43:43Oh, shit.
00:43:46Oh, shit.
00:43:49Oh, shit.
00:43:52Oh, shit.
00:44:04Oh, shit.
00:44:10Oh, shit.
00:44:17Oh, shit.
00:44:30Oh, shit.
00:44:43Oh, shit.
00:44:57Is that you?
00:45:25What? What is this?
00:45:47That's amazing.
00:45:56Persephone's magnetic field.
00:46:14They all seem to convert there.
00:46:25I need to see that place for myself.
00:46:40I am scared of speaking something up.
00:46:57Get in something. All right.
00:47:00So there really are magnetic lines.
00:47:03And they're everywhere.
00:47:05But it's not a normal pattern.
00:47:07More like a living network.
00:47:10It was even visible to the eye for a second.
00:47:17Oh, that's wild.
00:47:22Arya and Montclair press no long.
00:47:24I have just experienced something incredible.
00:47:28I... I felt...
00:47:31Thomas, I felt you there with me.
00:47:34Something...
00:47:34A pulse lit up the whole network.
00:47:37And I know you were there with me.
00:47:40It was exactly like we always said.
00:47:43Like no time has passed at all.
00:48:09All right.
00:48:11All right.
00:48:26I thought this planet was a hostile wilderness.
00:48:30And it is.
00:48:31But that place seemed like a sanctuary.
00:48:35Is the source like that too?
00:48:38Is it really going to save mankind?
00:48:41Is it really kind?
00:48:52No.
00:49:15Where to now?
00:49:19I can feel something strange here.
00:49:23We'll just kind of pick those lines up here too.
00:49:37Incredible.
00:50:00The place where those lines converge...
00:50:03I wonder if I'll be able to feel Thomas again.
00:50:06I wonder if I'll be able to feel Thomas again.
00:50:15I haven't seen a clear sky in... in forever.
00:50:20A generation too late for stargazing.
00:50:24But here...
00:50:26Everything could be possible again.
00:51:01The stone...
00:51:02Is that the effect of the magnetic field?
00:51:05The stone...
00:51:18The stone...
00:51:22The stone...
00:51:25Is that the effect of the magnetic field?
00:51:26The stone...
00:51:27The stone is about to be able to feel like we have...
00:51:31Most quickly...
00:51:31I think the stone...
00:51:32The stone is about to be able to dissipate.
00:51:32The stone...
00:51:33The stone...
00:51:33The stone...
00:51:34The stone...
00:52:38That's it.
00:52:39My scanner can interact with the magnetic lines.
00:52:43Amazing.
00:52:48Never seen this before.
00:52:52Eyes reacting to a magnetic field like that.
00:52:55And I never expected my scanner to be able to control the lines.
00:52:59Like an invisible hand shaping the landscape.
00:53:05I'm sorry.
00:53:10I'm sorry.
00:53:15I'm sorry.
00:53:22I'm sorry.
00:53:24I'm sorry.
00:53:24I'm sorry.
00:53:49I'm sorry.
00:53:51I don't know.
00:54:20I don't know.
00:55:02I don't know.
00:55:15I don't know.
00:55:17I don't know.
00:55:17I don't know.
00:55:18I don't know.
00:55:49I don't know.
00:56:14I don't know.
00:56:37I don't know.
00:56:50Let's hope these are frozen solid.
00:56:55Almost.
00:56:57I must.
00:57:24I don't know.
00:57:33I don't know.
00:58:00I don't know.
00:58:19I don't know.
00:58:21I don't know.
00:58:33I don't know.
00:58:53I don't know.
00:58:56I don't know.
00:59:05I don't know.
00:59:08Habitable but for now be great if the legs could stay frozen just a little longer
00:59:45Oh
01:00:11Oh, my God.
