that the unifying principle

in all the universe, the glue

that puts it all together,

is love.

Love makes the world go round?

Time is running out, Kathryn.

A lunatic named Creighton Bowe

has claimed responsibility

for the explosion on the Samsara,

and has admitted killing the

Chinese president three years ago.

Why?

He left a manifesto.

I did my thesis on

the manifesto of mad men

and it never really matters

why they do things.

Left.

Stirred up a hornet's nest

and then disappeared,

to avoid getting stung.

The PRC has nukes, Kathryn.

Go away. You're a figment

of my imagination, go.

Albert Einstein said that imagination is

more important than knowledge.

I know. I used to have a T-shirt

with that quote printed on it.

A world without war.

You can make it happen.

But if you wait, you will be too late.

I am a figment of my own imagination,

a ghost walking aimlessly

amongst the living.

How can I save the world?

I can't even save my daughter.

Our greatest fear

is not that we are powerless,

but that we are powerful beyond measure.

You sound like a fortune cookie.

You're deflecting.

You know what you have to do.

You know why you were given this task

and the power to complete it.

Power? Power has only led me to pain.

This universe has made a mistake.

There are no mistakes, only reminders.

It's easy to give up,

to fall into despair.

It is only when we endure, that we find

it in ourselves to achieve greatness.

But I am all alone.

I have no one left.

You are not alone.

John.

Oh my God.

John?

You guys don't have that much time.

Roberts will be back.

John.

Oh my God, John.

I thought I'd never see you again.

They told me you were dead.

They told me that it wasn't

safe for me to be with you,

that I would contaminate you

or infect you.

We saw the Samsara blow up.

We saw it on TV.

And then NASA officials said

there were no survivors.

Then they pulled every scrap

of footage off the air,

they said that it never happened,

that it was a mistake,

that we must have imagined it.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't want to believe it,

but we saw it blow up.

We saw it!

John, there's something I have to do.

That's the reason I survived

this accident.

If you're here,

there has to be a reason.

I know you're part of something

bigger than my own understanding.

- I missed you.

- I missed you, too.

Every hour you were gone.

If you hadn't gone, you wouldn't

be the woman I fell in love with,

and that I love.

John.

I'm not strong.

I'm not strong at all.

When Amelia got sick,

I felt like my whole world

was falling apart.

I felt so selfish for leaving,

but I just couldn't sit here

and watch her die.

So I ran and I ran all the way to Mars.

I cannot forgive myself for that.

But I forgive you Kathryn.

Amelia forgives you.

You need to forgive yourself.

Oh, Amelia.

Now go,

say goodbye to Amelia,

and go do what you have to do.

Why'd you have to survive?

If you'd just died, everything

would have been fine.

But no, you had to give

the people a miracle

so they'd keep putting

their faith in technology.

We don't have to save ourselves.

Science will save us.

We don't have to clean up our oceans,

because we can just move

on to another planet.

You survived,

and that was a miracle.

Well, I don't believe in miracles.

Look at me when I'm talking to you!

I'm sorry.

Were you having a moment there?

Is it really you?

Yes, beautiful.

It's me.

You came home from Mars.

I did.

I promised, didn't I?

I had a dream.

You took me to a river of stars

and we dived in and swam,

and there was galaxies floating

past us like rainbow fish.

We caught them and petted them,

and then we threw them back

and then we danced in

the middle of a cloud of stars.

It was so beautiful.

You're so beautiful.

You're crying.

Why are you crying?

Sometimes you see something so precious,

you just want to hold onto it

for as long as you can.

Is she in there?

Yes, Dr. Voss is inside.

She what? Just showed up

here and waltzed in?

She wanted to speak to her daughter.

I found John Voss in her room.

You have something to do with that?

There's a reason she's alive, sir.

She got to you.

What if she's not crazy?

What if we're the crazy ones?

What if what we're doing is wrong?

You're in my way.

I don't want to hurt you, sir.

Shame.

I can't say the same about you.

Don't be sad.

I wish...

What, baby?

What do you wish?

I heard the nurses talking.

Yeah?

They're scared there's

going to be a war,

because the Chinese astronaut burned up.

So, I wish for there not to be a war.

I wish that tomorrow, everyone

would wake up and be happy.

- And not be mad any more.

- Yeah?

And what about getting well?

Wouldn't you wish for that?

No.

- I think you only get one wish.

- Yeah?

And you'd give up your wish

for everybody else?

I'd give my life for them.

Yeah?

Isn't that what you're doing?

What?

Come here.

It's beautiful.

Help me show it to everyone.

How?

Just hold on. It won't hurt.

We are all one.
