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.
00:03:51No.
00:03:53No.
00:03:54No.
00:03:56No.
00:03:58No.
00:03:58No.
00:04:08Thomas, Thomas, come in.
00:04:16Please, answer me.
00:04:20No.
00:04:22No.
00:04:22No.
00:04:43Darret.
00:05:09No.
00:05:13No.
00:05:16No.
00:05:17No.
00:05:26Fuck!
00:05:33Okay, okay, please.
00:05:56Fuck!
00:06:18How do I get back out?
00:06:36Need a way out. Does my navigator still work?
00:07:02Oh, I can't do it.
00:07:04I can't do it.
00:07:04I don't have to move on.
00:07:05I can't do it.
00:07:09I can't do it.
00:07:10I can't do it.
00:07:12I can't do it.
00:07:15I can't do it.
00:07:20I don't know.
00:07:45I don't know.
00:08:15I don't know.
00:08:59I don't know.
00:09:06I don't know.
00:09:07Come on.
00:09:11Thomas!
00:09:12You there?
00:09:15Say something if you can hear me.
00:09:16Damn it!
00:09:22I 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!
00:10:34No!

00:11:57No!
00:12:08No!
00:12:13No!
00:12:29Oh, my God.
00:13:07Oh, my God.
00:13:27Oh, my God.
00:13:46Oh, my God.
00:14:13Oh, my God.
00:14:25Oh, my God.
00:14:30Oh, my God.
00:14:59Oh, my God.
00:15:03Officer Cross was in the engine room when we crashed.
00:15:06I'm currently searching the crash site.
00:15:10Thomas, I really hope you manage to evacuate.
00:15:39Oh, my God.
00:15:42Oh, my God.
00:15:42You'd better have made it out of there.
00:15:46Oh, my God.
00:15:51Oh, my God.
00:16:10Thomas!
00:16:40Thomas!
00:16:55Thomas!
00:16:56Thomas!
00:17:36Oh, my God.
00:17:40Oh, my God.
00:17:44Oh, my God.
00:17:54Looks like nothing was spared.
00:18:22Good thing I had the winch.
00:18:23Good thing I had the winch.
00:18:33Oh, my God.
00:18:57Oh, my God.
00:19:29Thomas, I'm inside. Can you hear me?
00:19:51This Sprout survived all this? Maybe there's still hope for life here.
00:20:03Oh, crap.
00:20:21Finally. The engine room.
00:20:26Oh, no.
00:20:30Thomas.
00:20:35Please be okay.
00:21:09Oh, my God.
00:21:27Oh, my God.
00:21:29Oh, my God.
00:21:42Oh, my God.
00:21:44Oh, my God.
00:21:51Oh, my God.
00:22:00Oh, my God.
00:22:02Oh, my God.
00:22:05Oh, my God.
00:22:20Oh, my God.
00:22:23Oh, my God.
00:22:30Oh, 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?
00:24:33No.
00:24:35No.
00:24:39No.
00:24:54ORGAN 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
00:28:43At least once
00:28:46Come on
00:28:50Get the
00:28:51For
00:28:52Up
00:29:113
00:29:124
00:29:135
00:29:135
00:29:137
00:29:21I don't know.
00:29:44Stay where you are, Thomas.
00:29:47We were not prepared for this much mounting.
00:29:50We've got to be careful.
00:30:42We've got to be careful.
00:31:11We've got to be careful.
00:31:42We've got to be careful.
00:31:50We've got to be careful.
00:31:53We've got to be careful.
00:32:04We've got to be careful.
00:32:12We can't see anything.
00:32:14We've got to be careful.
00:32:21We've got to be careful.
00:32:42We've got to be careful.
00:32:48We've got to be careful.
00:32:57We've got to be careful.
00:32:59We've got to be careful.
00:33:10We've got to be careful.
00:33:18We've got to be careful.
00:33:23We've got to be careful.
00:33:29We've got to be careful.
00:33:53We've got to be careful.
00:33:53We've got to be careful.
00:33:53We've got to be careful.
00:33:54We've got to be careful.
00:33:54We've got to be careful.
00:33:55We've got to be careful.
00:33:56We've got to be careful.
00:33:57We've got to be careful.
00:33:57We've got to be careful.
00:33:57We've got to be careful.
00:34:00We've got to be careful.
00:34:24How's the ice melting?
00:34:30Definitely warmer than our earlier data suggested.
00:34:34Is it because of the source?
00:34:38That's promising, I guess.
00:34:46You've trained my whole life for this.
00:34:50I'm not about to give up now.
00:34:52I'll do whatever it takes to bring back hope.
00:35:24I'll do whatever it takes to bring back hope.
00:35:25I'll do whatever it takes to bring back hope.
00:35:32Oh, my God.
00:36:10Our whole childhood was a time, always seeking higher ground.
00:36:15As soon as we settled another hurricane, this time's going to be different.
00:36:26Oh, my God.
00:36:28Oh, my God.
00:36:37Oh, my God.
00:36:54Oh, my God.
00:37:09I've spent my life chasing heights, chasing the ones I love, the way I'm used to that.
00:37:14I just wasn't prepared to be chasing you.
00:37:29Oh, my God.
00:37:33Oh, my God.
00:37:51Oh, my God.
00:38:05Oh, my God.
00:38:25Wow.
00:38:34Oh, my God.
00:38:36Oh, my God.
00:38:41Oh, my God.
00:38:46Oh, my God.
00:39:04almost at the summit come on first one to the top like in the old days except you're not here
00:39:12Thomas I can't believe I'm alive
00:39:49oh
00:39:51oh
00:39:52oh
00:39:52oh
00:40:09oh
00:40:22Oh shit, this club is crazy, Thomas you say I'm being crazy, but I've got no choice, gotta
00:40:37find the source even if the mission's lost now. Where else would we go?
00:41:11Okay, still got it under control. Breathe deep, one step at a time.
00:41:59Almost there.
00:42:14Oh, my God.
00:42:22Oh, my God.
00:42:24Oh, my God.
00:42:38Oh, my God.
00:42:45Oh, my God.
00:42:55Oh, my God.
00:42:58Oh, my God.
00:43:06Mission Control, this is Arjen Montclair. Does anyone copy?
00:43:14All stations, come in. Do you fucking copy?
00:43:23Thomas, anyone.
00:43:34Please.
00:43:42Shit.
00:43:43Oh, my God.
00:43:47Oh, my God.
00:43:53Ooh.
00:43:57Ooh.
00:43:59Ooh.
00:44:05Aum.
00:44:06Ooh.
00:44:06I don't know.
00:44:52Thomas?
00:44:57Is that you?
00:45:23What is this?
00:45:45Oh, that's amazing.
00:45:56Persephone is a 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.
00:46:58All 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.
00:47:19That's wild.
00:47:22Arya and Montclair press no long.
00:47:24I have just experienced something incredible.
00:47:29I felt...
00:47:31Thomas, I felt you there with me.
00:47:33Something.
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.
00:47:45Nice.
00:48:06I know you're there with your magic.
00:48:10I know you're there.
00:48:11Oh, I know.
00:48:26I thought this planet was a hostile wilderness and it is but that place seemed like a sanctuary
00:48:35Is the source like that too? Is it really going to save mankind?
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
00:49:36Incredible
00:49:37The place where those lines converge
00:50:03I wonder if I'll be able to feel Thomas again
00:50:15I haven't seen a clear sky in forever
00:50:21A generation too late for stargazing
00:50:23But here, everything could be possible again
00:50:28Oh
00:50:32Oh
00:50:34Oh
00:50:34Oh
00:50:34Oh
00:50:34Oh
00:50:39Oh
00:51:02Is that the effect of the magnetic field?
00:51:05Oh
00:51:07Oh
00:51:07Oh
00:51:07Oh
00:51:16Oh
00:51:17Oh
00:51:25Oh
00:51:31Oh
00:53:03Shaping the landscape.
00:53:57Shaping the landscape.
00:54:29Shaping the landscape.
00:55:00Shaping the landscape.
00:55:30Shaping the landscape.
00:56:00Shaping the landscape.
00:56:10Let's go.
00:56:50Let's hope these are frozen solid.
00:56:56Almost.
00:57:30Let's hope these are frozen solid.
00:57:34Almost.
00:57:35Almost.
00:57:37Let's go.
00:57:38Let's go.
00:57:38Let's go.
00:57:39Let's go.
00:57:39Let's go.
00:57:47Let's go.
00:58:01Let's go.
00:58:03Let's go.
00:58:08Let's go.
00:58:08Let's go.
00:58:10Let's go.
00:58:19Let's go.
00:58:34Let's go.
00:58:38Let's go.
00:58:40Let's go.
00:58:42Let's go.
00:58:42Let's go.
00:58:45Let's go.
00:59:05A warmer Persephone might actually become habitable, but for now, it'd be great if the legs could stay frozen just
00:59:13a little longer.
00:59:45I don't know what to do, but I don't know what to do.
01:00:15I don't know.
01:00:18I don't know.
