because of a gas cloud?

- We were gonna die anyway.

Might as well have tried, right?

- I'm so.

I am so sorry.

- It's okay.

- You bet your life.

- I thought, I was so sure.

- She bet her life,

so why should we pay with our

own?

Since she was proven wrong

it's only fair that she forfeit

hers.

Franklin.

- What the hell are you talking

about?

- I'm talking about

the facts, goat herder.

The fact that we now

don't have enough oxygen

to make the next Sagan,

the fact that this woman

has led us to this calamity,

the fact that she stakes her

life on it

and the fact that if she gives

it

as she said she would we may

live.

Li, if she were gone

how much more time would that

give us?

- I'm not sure.

- How much more time?

- About two days.

- Two more days.

One more than we would

need for the next Sagan.

- No, no, no way, man.

There's not a chance in hell

of that happening, man.

You kill her over my dead body.

- Well, if you wish to join her,

I'm sure no one here would

object.

- I wonder how many of

us would object to you.

- I have had enough of your

insolence.

- Stop it, stop it, stop.

[crashing]

[beeping]

- What hit us?

[dramatic music]

[laughing]

[dramatic music]

[beeping]

- [Computer] Memory

pathway bypass detected.

Initiate bypass?

- That's odd.

Okay.

- It sounds like a dangerous

plan

if you ask me.

- It's the only way.

- I say that...

- You will go.

- Yes, of course

but it's a two-man job.

We need to grab the other

antenna array

and see if there's any

air left we can salvage.

- Li will stay back and

operate the controls

in case something happens out

there.

- Who's the lucky guy that

gets to go out there with her?

[laughing]

No.

Forget me.

[dramatic music]

- The shortwave will work

so we can communicate

as should your helmet camera

with a direct relay to

the main viewing screens

so they can see what we do.

- Well, if I'm gonna die

I'm gonna die looking sexy.

I look good in this thing.

- Come on, put it on.

- I see that MRE diet is only

working for one of us, baby.

A little paunch there.

[laughing]

Hey guys, are you getting this?

- Yeah, everything's fine.

- These are the tools you'll

need detach

and then attach to the antenna.

- I got it.

- We'll have to disengage the

boot magnets to get across.

- Thanks, mom.

- We have less than 30

minutes of air in these things

so no messing around.

- Last chance to say you love

me.

- Are you ever serious?

- Always.

- Ready?

- Sure.

[door clangs]

Can we get a bit closer.

- It's less than 15 meters.

- It really looks infinite.

This is really stupid.

After you, ma'am.

Ladies first.

- Don't wuss out on me.

[dramatic music]

We need you.

[dramatic music]

You can do this.

- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm coming.

Oh yeah.

I don't think I'm gonna make it.

[grunting]

- [Eve] I got you.

- I totally failed.

That was lame.

- [Eve] We're good here.

- [Thomson] Thank you.

I thought you were gonna catch.

- Follow this conduit to

get to the antenna array

and then I'll guide you

if you need any other help.

I'm gonna go inside.

- Okay.

[dramatic music]

[door creaks]

[dramatic music]

[crackling]

- Miller, are you okay?

We've lost visual.

[crackling]

Okay, we're back, you must

have a short in there.

[crackling]

- [Eve] I'm entering the ship

now.

Are you guys seeing this?

- They look like incubators.

- [Eve] Why would there be

incubators on an escape pod?

- Let's not waste time,

Lieutenant.

[dramatic music]

[screaming]

What is it?

- I just found one of the crew.

- Oh sh*t.

Guys, which one.

- Second one in from the right,

the one with the small gray box

attached.

The Positioner is inside it.

- This one?

- Yes.

Now take it off.

[crackling]

[dramatic music]

[crackling]

- Okay, I've done my part.

What was that?

What the hell?

Miller, are you up here?

- Negative, I'm at the command

console.

Everything okay?

We've got power

and let's see if

we've got any air.

All right we've got...

- Your feed is rubbish.

What's the situation?

- 35% of air left...

What the hell?

- What is it.

- We're losing air.

Thomson, can you check

chamber number four.

It's on your left as you

climb down the conduit.

- Guys, I don't think we're

gonna get any of that air.

- Damn it, Miller.

Your carelessness has cost us

that air.

[dramatic music]

[screaming and grunting]

- Miller, where are you?

- Hurry, Thomson, I'm stuck.

I'm leaking air.

- [Thomson] What happened?

- I have to get back to the

other pod.

I'm losing air fast.

- Hold still.

You all right?

I got you.

It's just wires.

Okay, let's get out of here,

come on.

Get ahold of that.

Let's go.

- Thanks.

Give me a push

and I've got it from there.

- No, no, I got this.

I'm gonna hold you right here,

okay?

- Okay.

- Are you ready?

Let's go.

[dramatic music]

- Thompson, what are you doing?

- I'm going to fix this thing

so we can get the hell out of

here.

[dramatic music]

20 minutes.

- What happened?

- The incubators.

I got tangled up in some wire

and I hit the broken glass.

That was all.

It was a stupid mistake.

How's he doing?

- I'm just about there.

- [Li] You've nine minutes of

air left.

- Yeah, I know that.

I'm just about there.

- Thomson?

- [Thomson] What?

I'm great.

- Turn around quick, behind you.

- I don't see anything.

- There was something.

- Two minutes, Thomson.

We'd better bring you back

inside.

- Yeah, yeah, I'm coming back

right now.

You girls scared the sh*t out of

me.

- Tell me what you saw.

- Out of the other pod I

thought I saw something

come out of it.

- Lock the outside door.

- What?

No.

- Do it now, do it now.

- I won't.

Get back.

- Why, Franklin?

What's out there with him?

- I don't know but

protocol is not to allow

a foreign body inside if

contamination is possible.

- Who said anything about a

foreign body?

What's out there?

- Hey, quit screwing around in

there.

Close the outer door and let me

in.

- No.

[dramatic music]

- That man is not coming inside.

- Guys, it's getting hard to

breathe.

- He'll die.

- Yes.

- He saved your life.

- It doesn't matter now.

I will kill all of you, make no

mistake.

[grunting]

[dramatic music]

- Thomson, Thomson?

Don't leave me, don't die.

God damn it.

[gasping]

[dramatic music]

- This should keep him

out for about 12 hours.

- So, he's like out, out, yeah?

- Yeah, like the dead.

He won't bother you anymore.

- Good.

- Hey, hey, hey, what are you

doing?

- Let go of me.

- I won't let you do that.

- Screw him, he was gonna let me

die.

- What's going on over there?

- Nothing.

- I'm just keeping him comfy.

- You got other things

to worry about right now.

Did anyone know he had this?

- It's not shocking.

He is military.

- He heads up the bio weapons

program.

- You knew this?

- Yes.

I've known for a long time.

- What exactly does he do?

- I don't know.

It's bio weapons, it's all
