Europa Report Page #4

of samples we need.

Katya, the radiation alone...

the radiation

is fluctuating.

It was 200 ram

last time I checked.

I'm willing

to take that risk.

- What about everything else that could go wrong?

- It's 100 meters!

Having lost the probe,

the only way to get the data

was to explore

the chaos zones

where the ice had cracked

and re-cracked.

And this process would

expose any microorganisms

that have been

trapped inside the ice.

Somebody's gotta go out there!

- It's too risky.

- Enough! Enough!

I feel like it's a

critical phase and I'm not there.

I just...

I just didn't realize

it would be this hard.

Over.

Sounds like a car.

You know take him

to the game, if you want.

Umm...

I miss you guys.

Love you.

Over.

You okay?

Yeah, I am good.

I'm good.

Not so easy,

is it?

No.

No, it's not.

You know, my boy's gonna be

six when I see him again.

He's gonna

be proud of you.

What would you do

if you get out there

and you find nothing?

Well, even if

we found nothing,

it's in effect

a discovery.

It would make

me very frustrated.

I know there's

something there.

Check on nav bays 3 and 4.

Mission control,

repeat please. Over.

William, I've got some static

in the comm array feed up here.

It looks like

a radiation spike.

Have you tried

recycling the system?

Rosa, we've lost your feed.

Come in, Europe one.

Europa one, come in.

Come in, Europe one.

Europa one, come in.

Europa one.

Europa

one, Europe one, do you...

Now try as you might

to prepare for everything,

there will always be

that unknown element.

In this case

a solar storm hit,

damaging key systems, including

communication with mission control.

Okay. Oxygen is flowing.

We're good.

This never gets old.

Okay, commencing egress.

William, I'm

gonna tether the emus

once we're...

On the hull.

Roger that.

Andrei and James had to do

an E.V.A.

To repair the system...

a bit like performing ballet

and rocket science

at 125,000 Miles an hour.

This reminds me of the

iss thrust fix all over again.

5 hours, 13

minutes remaining on eva.

You know what time

it is back on earth?

Battery block

d is non-functional.

2 hours 55 minutes.

All right, I've got green

lights on the fan arrays.

How are we doing

on the comm power supply?

So I said to

the guy, "you know,

I can't just come along

and stay as long as you want.

You have to tell me

how long it's gonna take."

Okay, guys, 50 minutes

remaining on eva.

I can't keep you

out there much longer.

Panels one

through six are clear.

Moving onto seven.

We just need a

little more time, William.

I think it's a blown fuse

in the communication panel.

You've got 37 minutes.

If you don't find it,

we'll need to begin regress.

Okay we're at the

communication panel.

Opening up the door.

What do you got, Andrei?

James, get a look at this.

Whoo.

The receptors are shot.

Yeah, William, the

whole board is fried.

I gotta take

the pins out.

Okay.

Taking out

the first pin.

Come on.

And first pin is clear.

Going for number two.

Proceed.

Come on.

Sh*t.

It's not coming.

Okay. William,

we've got a frozen pin.

Okay, guys, leave

that last panel for now.

What do you think?

We can't tell how bad

it is till we get in there.

You sure, man? You don't want

to put heat on there first?

- It just feels...

- The damage could spread.

- Okay.

- What the hell is going on out there?

Okay. I'm set.

Come on.

Ah! Sh*t!

It snapped.

The panel snapped.

I ripped my glove.

I ripped...

It's okay. Andrei's okay.

- We're tethered.

- It's a tear of one inch.

- I've cut my skin.

- I got him hooked to me.

Andrei, do not attempt

to climb back in on your own.

- James?

- I see him, I see him.

I got him.

I'm going for him. Hang on.

- It's a small rip.

- Take it easy.

- Just relax big guy.

- Keep calm, Andrei.

- I'm bleeding.

- Save your oxygen.

He's losing air,

but he's got his hand on it.

I got you.

- I got you.

- Oxygen pressure is dropping steadily.

You don't have much time.

James, listen to me.

His oxygen level

is red-lighting.

Get him back

inside the ship.

Okay.

We're at the lock.

I'm coming in.

Stop, don't go in.

- Why?

- There's something on your suit.

It's hydrazine.

Uh, guys,

we've got a problem.

I've got hydrazine

on my suit.

It must have hit me

when we popped the panel.

He's covered in it.

It's in the seams.

It's... it's everywhere.

- What can we do to decontaminate?

- We can't.

If we bring him in, the air on

the ship will become toxic.

Come on.

Sh*t.

We should get him in the

lock, get a v-cam reading.

We can't. There'd be too much

risk of lingering contamination.

We gotta figure out

a way to get the suit clean.

It's not coming out.

I'm totally screwed.

Andrei, get in the lock.

We need to depressurize

your suit now.

Then we'll figure out

how to get James in.

Seriously?!

Come on, man, I got...

I've got 20 minutes

of oxygen.

Is there no way

to get it clean?

- Andrei.

- I'm not going in.

I'll get you

out of the suit...

- What?

- ...Into the airlock.

You'll be out of the suit

less than two minutes.

- It's survivable.

- Is that even possible?

I'll get you out of this.

I'll fix it.

No. Andrei,

you're gonna black out.

- No, I'm not.

- This isn't gonna work.

- We're going to lose them both.

- James, he's fading.

You have to get him

in the lock.

Okay. Sh*t.

Rosa, close the airlock now!

James is no longer

attached to the hull.

- I said close the lock!

- Rosa, close the lock!

Airlock is closed.

Oxygen is flowing.

Repressurization in 10 minutes.

This is insane.

You gotta go get him.

We can't. By the time

we get there, he'd...

James?

Yeah yeah yeah,

I'm here. Umm...

Oh, Christ, I can't...

I'm gone.

Oh sh*t.

Is Andrei okay?

Yeah. He's okay.

I'm sorry, James.

Don't be sorry.

It was an accident,

you know?

Um...

I... I don't have much time,

so tell Andrei...

Tell Andrei he's a...

He's a crazy

son of a b*tch, you know?

And I love him for trying

to save my life and...

If that had been Jamie, I...

I love you so much.

Forgive me.

I thought I was trying to do

something great for mankind.

I always said it was

worth the risk but...

Forgive me for...

for hurting you.

A part of me wishes I could just

float out here forever, you know?

I can't s...

i can't see anything.

I can't see any...

It's stupid

to argue like this.

Katya, no way you can go out

there without us behind you.

And, William,

with all due respect,

I think we should all decide

together how to do this.

I know what

you think, William.

What about you, Daniel?

It's ill-advised.

A surface walk was

always a question mark.

Well, we can do it.

I'll walk the equipment out

and you can run

the analysis from here.

We can get

what we came for.

And if she goes out there

and we never see her again?

Think hard about that.

I think she should do it.

I'm sorry, William.

Thank you.

- Andrei?

- It's too dangerous.
