He designed Hal. He can reactivate him.

MILSON:
I think he is Hal.

FLOYD:
I know.

MILSON:
Yeah, but can you trust him?

FLOYD:
No.

But I have to.

We have to know why Hal malfunctioned.

I got an idea.

You go tell the president,

lll go on the mission.

Youre the NCA Chairman.

Thats right, I am.

Look, tell him were screwed

if we dont go.

Tell him, if we do go, well lie...

...give the Russians false information.

Tell him that. Hell love that.

He might.

[Electronic beeping]

CHANDRA:
Good afternoon, Sal.

Do you have anything for me?

SAL:
No, Dr. Chandra.

Do you have anything for me?

We have often spoken about Hal.

SAL:
Yes, we have.

CHANDRA:
Weve spoken about

Hals anomalous behavior.

Youve told me that we cant solve

Hals behavior without more information.

SAL:
That is correct.

I enjoy talking about Hal.

I agree that we need more information,

so that we may solve the anomalies.

CHANDRA:
And how do we get

that information?

SAL:
That is obvious.

Someone must return to Discovery.

That person should be you.

I agree.

Now, it looks as if thats going to happen

sooner than we ever expected.

SAL:
I am pleased to hear that.

I knew you would be.

I would like to explore another possibility.

Diagnosis is only the first step.

The process is incomplete

unless it leads to a cure. Do you agree?

SAL:
Yes, I agree.

Does that mean you believe Hal

can be restored to normal functioning?

I hope. I dont know.

There may have been irreversible damage.

Certainly loss of memory.

I need your cooperation, Sal.

SAL:
Of course, Dr. Chandra.

CHANDRA:
There may be certain risks.

SAL:
What do you mean?

I would like to disconnect

some of your circuits.

Particularly your higher functions,

just like Hal was disconnected.

Id like to see the effects when I reconnect

your systems.

CHANDRA:
Just the way I will with Hal.

Does this disturb you?

SAL:
I am unable to answer that

without more specific information.

Im very sorry. It probably doesnt

mean anything, so dont worry about it.

Id like to open a new file.

Here is the name for it:

CHANDRA:
Do you know what that means?

SAL:
There are 25 references

in the current encyclopedia.

Which one do you think is relevant?

SAL:
The tutor ofAchilles?

[Chuckles] Thats very interesting.

I didnt know that one.

Try again.

SAL:
A fabulous bird reborn

from the ashes of its earlier life.

That is correct.

And do you know why I chose that?

SAL:
Yes. Because you have hopes

that Hal can be reactivated.

Yes, with your assistance.

CHANDRA:
Are you ready?

SAL:
I would like to ask a question.

CHANDRA:
What is it?

SAL:
Will I dream?

Of course you will dream.

All intelligent creatures dream.

Nobody knows why.

CHANDRA:
Perhaps you will dream of Hal...

...just as I often do.

[High-pitched squeaking]

CAROLINE:
Theyve already eaten dinner.

You havent.

Come on to the table, Christopher.

CHRISTOPHER:
Theyre hungry.

Then go tell them to come to the table.

CAROLINE:
I got spaghetti here.

I dont want it to go to waste.

Come on, now.

[Squeaking]

Youll like it. Its got lots of stuff in it

thats bad for you.

Ive been thinking about it and

I dont want you to come to my lecture.

Itll make me nervous.

Dont feel offended.

Im just scared enough as it is.

Besides, you wont be missing much.

Its just a room full of marine biologists

arguing over plankton.

CAROLINE:
Hello?

FLOYD:
What?

[Giggles]

Im sorry.

I said, I dont want you to go to my lecture.

Id be nervous.

Okay.

Contain your disappointment.

CHRISTOPHER:

What are you gonna talk about?

Dolphins.

Fish again.

Theyre not fish, and, yes,

thats what we study.

Why?

Eat.

How was Washington?

Fine.

Are you tired?

Im going on the flight.

[Mysterious instrumental music]

[Whispers] When?

Four months.

Where are you going, Daddy?

On a long trip.

CHRISTOPHER:
lsnt Mommy hungry?

I dont think so.

[Smashing]

[Mysterious instrumental music]

CHRISTOPHER:

How far away is Jupiter?

FLOYD:
Far.

CHRISTOPHER:
Why is it two and a half

years to go and come back?

FLOYD:
lts so far.

CHRISTOPHER:

Why dont you go faster?

FLOYD:
Cant.

CHRISTOPHER:

Are you gonna forget about me?

FLOYD:
No, I love you.

CHRISTOPHER:

I wont forget about you.

FLOYD:
Well be able to talk to each other,

see each other on television.

CHRISTOPHER:
Daddy?

FLOYD:
What?

CHRISTOPHER:
Mommy said

youre gonna be asleep for a long time.

FLOYD:
Thats true.

CHRISTOPHER:
Are you gonna die?

FLOYD:
What?

CHRISTOPHER:
Are you gonna die?

FLOYD:
Why do you say that?

CHRISTOPHER:

When Jamies grandfather died...

...his mom told him that

hed be asleep for a long time.

FLOYD:
No, no, no. This is different.

Theyre gonna wake me up.

But you have to sleep going up

and coming down, otherwise...

...youd go cuckoo...

...and there wouldnt be enough food

aboard the flight for everybody.

CHRISTOPHER:

I dont understand.

[Waves roaring, gulls squawking]

CAROLINE:
I want to be grown-up

and understanding about all this.

I really do.

Im trying so hard, but I cant.

This won't bring back those men.

Youve been punishing yourself for years

for something you thought you did wrong.

Or didnt do right.

And now you're looking for absolution.

You know...

...you could get yourself killed up there.

Ill be scared enough for both of us.

[Mysterious instrumental music]

[Dramatic music]

[Male crew member speaks in Russian]

[Woman responds in Russian]

TANYA:
Dr. Floyd?

Dr. Floyd?

[Electronic beeping]

RUDENKO:
Keep your eyes closed.

RUDENKO:
Breathe deeply.

[Deep breathing]

RUDENKO:
Again.

Thats good.

RUDENKO:
How do you feel?

FLOYD:
Shaky.

FLOYD:
Hungry, I think.

FLOYD:
Can I open my eyes?

RUDENKO:
Yes.

[Floyd groans]

FLOYD:
Are we there yet?

TANYA:
No, not yet.

We are about two days away.

TANYA:
Dont worry,

there is nothing wrong.

Your government wanted us

to awaken you.

Dr. Orlov has encountered

some strange data coming from Europa.

It may be nothing.

He will explain it all to you.

There is no need to awaken the others.

FLOYD:

Youve done a spectral analysis?

ORLOV:
Of course, I have.

FLOYD:
And?

ORLOV:
And what?

Im not taking a survey.

If youve done the analysis...

...what are the results?

Nothing conclusive.

Molecular breakdown?

ORLOV:
lf you look carefully

at the last page of the data...

...you will find the answers.

I dont understand this.

If this datas correct,

then theres something down there.

It cant be correct.

It is correct.

Is it moving?

Yes.

All right...

...whats going on here?

TANYA:
What do you mean?

Well, I may not be the swiftest guy

in the world even when lm not hungover...

...but I do seem to remember a process

where you ask me questions...

...and I give answers, and I ask questions

and you give answers...

...and thats the way we find out things.

I think I read that in a manual somewhere.

Your government wanted us to awaken you

when we reported our findings.

We did that.

TANYA:

Youre here to help us reactivate...
