Come on,

let's go!

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Okay, he's reloading.

Come on, come on, let's go.

Go, go, go!

What?

Oh, God.

We need to get out of here now.

- Brooke, come on!

- I'm coming!

Let's go, go, go!

I'm hurrying!

Whoa.

So, uh, where do we start?

Hang on, these... aren't file cabinets

supposed to have letters on them?

Secret codes, secret files,

they get bar codes.

So how are we supposed to

find the one we're looking for?

You take that side,

I'll take this side.

- Okay, all right.

- Just look for things

that have structures, buildings,

things grouped together.

- Stuff like that.

- Okay.

- Matthew?

- Yes.

- You don't have to be neat.

- Oh, yeah, yeah, well.

Fast.

Just want to keep

some semblance of organization.

This took somebody

a long time.

Warning, planetary gravity

affecting course trajectory.

That's the plan, girl.

Initiating emergency autopilot

failsafe in five, four...

Override accepted.

Impact risk imminent.

I think I got it.

Down on the ground now!

Where's your buddy?

Oh, about time.

Where's the file?

Next time,

I'll tie him up.

I'm sorry, they don't teach you how

to tie people up in astronomy school.

I still saved your butt.

- Brooke?

Go ahead, James.

I have the location.

Where should we meet you?

Take Highway 37.

We'll meet you

at the junction at Highway 12.

Okay.

- Oh, and I picked this up for later.

Figured we might need it.

- You want a hug?

- Yeah, yeah, I would.

I need those wave calculations.

We're approaching the launch window.

We're working on it.

We just got systems back up.

- We're running out of time.

- I know the time table!

Sir.

Look, Jen,

get a team ready

and take them

over to the fallback facility.

We gotta cover our bases.

If the systems go down here,

I'm not gonna

be able to launch.

I need you over there

to launch from there.

I'll get you the launch codes.

Michelle, please stay

on those wavelengths.

Yes, sir.

Whoa, stop. Stop the car.

He looks like he's alive.

We don't have time for this.

- We can't just leave him here.

- Matthew, get back in the car.

- We can't leave him here.

Matthew, get back in the car!

It'll be fine.

- Oh, come on.

- Hey, buddy. You okay?

We gotta get you...

we gotta get you...

- Get up, nice and slow.

- Hey.

- Easy.

- Step away from the car!

- Step away from the car!

- Take it easy, man.

Just take it easy.

Don't do it, James!

Shut up!

You think I'm kidding around?

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- Huh?!

- Easy, easy.

- Get the hell away from the car!

- Buddy, I can't give you the keys.

- Shut up!

- I can't give you the keys!

- Don't be stupid, man!

- I'll cut his throat!

- I can't give you the car.

Oh, you're gonna

give me the car.

- Hey!

- What's this, huh?

What are you doing?

What's this, huh?

- Okay, okay, okay!

- The keys!

- I'm gonna give you the keys.

- Yeah, you will.

- I'll give you the keys.

- Give me the keys.

That's good.

- Don't move.

- Dude.

We need to call the kids.

The radio's in the car.

It's happening again.

Hang in there, girl.

Warning,

impact risk ahead.

Multiple objects

approaching.

We're almost there, girl!

Hold on!

Warning,

heat shield breached.

Maximum pressure

capacity exceeded.

All systems critical.

Abort maneuver.

Repeat, abort maneuver.

Where's Matthew?

- You get the part?

- Yeah, but we haven't heard anything

from Victoria yet.

Let's hope she's in the middle

of the maneuver.

We gotta get out of here.

Go!

Hold it together

a little longer!

Trajectory compromised.

Change course immediately.

I have all

the wave patterns mapped

and the systems are all up,

and there's still a lot of interference.

Okay, get ready, everyone.

We launch the second

we have a clear shot.

Course trajectory complete.

Calculating Nautilus location.

We'll never get through here.

We gotta back up.

We gotta find another way.

All right.

- Damn it.

- You're kidding me.

Okay, we are go for launch.

Three, two...

Missiles are away.

Alternator's shot.

What are we gonna do?

How are we supposed to

get around this thing?

Guess we have to walk.

- What are you doing?

- What?

I've already been shot at

once today.

This thing goes on

for miles.

Yeah, James.

At this rate, I don't think

we're gonna make it on time.

Magnetism is increasing.

Mercury is forcing

the missiles off course.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

It's leaking gas.

- You gotta go across to the other side.

- Okay.

No.

James?

James, can you hear me?

- James.

James?

- Okay, go.

- Hey, Vic.

- It's me.

- Thank God.

- Are you safe?

- I am,

and I'm heading away

from Mercury as fast as I can.

Have you launched P-7 yet?

We can't.

Guidance system's

been damaged.

Hey, honey?

I, uh...

I need you

to do something.

I don't want to ask you

to do this,

but I need you to take

the Nautilus to Project 7

and you have to guide it

to Mercury.

I guess I won't be going home

as fast as I thought.

It's the only chance

we have, honey.

I'll do it.

Now listen to me.

You have to tether in

the Nautilus guidance system to P-7's.

I understand, James.

Now we still have to

do the fixes to P-7.

We have to do that

at the facility.

There's really

not that much time.

I'll get there in time.

- I swear to you.

- I trust you.

Go, be safe.

Plot in coordinates

to asteroid 8-7-6-9-5-Z.

Plotting coordinates.

Warning, life-support systems failure.

Oxygen levels critical.

Estimated life support,

15 minutes.

There's a car coming.

Hey!

Hey, hey!

Great.

- Hey, look.

- Hey, hey.

Hey, stop!

Stop!

- Get out of the road.

- We need a ride.

Look, I'm not

gonna tell you again.

Listen, I need a ride

to fallback facility.

Edward Rex,

he gave me his ID as proof.

Just take a look...

just take a look at it.

This ID was stolen this morning.

Get on the ground, Dr. Preston.

Hey.

Back off!

You heard me.

Thank you.

On the ground.

Estimated life support, 10 minutes.

Estimated life support,

five minutes.

We gotta go!

- Yup.

Sorry.

Estimated life support,

three minutes.

No pressure,

thank you.

Here we go.

Come on, Natalie.

Life-support systems back online.

We lost contact

with the contingency team.

It could just be

communications.

Magnetism is spiking.

Reports of magnetic storms

are coming in from all over.

Oh, my God.

Look.

Not again.

Look out!

Oh, my God.

Hang on!

Approaching destination.

Nautilus, prepare

for docking at Project 7.

- Everybody all right?

- Better than the car, I guess.

Brooke?

Brooke?

Brooke?

Brooke?

Brooke?!

James?

James,

she's not breathing, man.

I'm sorry.

- What?

- I'm sorry.

Brooke?

Brooke, I'm so sorry.

Christopher, we gotta go.

No.

- Christopher.

- Just wait!

Brooke.

I'm sorry.

Wow.

SPEAR car.

It's Jennifer.

We're close.

We gotta get out of here.

Executing landing procedure.

Prepare to tether

Nautilus' navigation system

to Project 7 navigation system.
