They've been in there
their whole lives.
They think they're going to Celeste.
I don't follow you.
Human guinea pigs.
Did you know all along?
Yes.
Coupling initiated.
What's going on?
What is this?
Origin unknown, Helena.
Opening outer lock.
Maneuver completed.
I know this is going to sound
crazy to you,
but we're not where you think.
This isn't a ship, Helena.
It's a simulator.
On the other side of that door...
is Earth.
We have to get out of here
right now, Helena.
Leave. Go back to your pod.
It's been recording
since you were a baby.
There are two more in this corridor
and another in the decompression chamber.
I disconnected them.
We have to go.
I told you to leave.
It's a biowitness.
when you were born.
Let me take it out.
It won't hurt.
Helena.
Helena... Helena!
I want you to see something.
We're going to send
your vital signs in a remote code.
Cardiac cycle correct.
Pulse normal.
Arterial pressure stable.
Rebecca?
Rebecca is a navigation robot.
She doesn't communicate
with the outside.
Are you ready?
Opening outer lock.
Let's go.
Come on, Helena.
Don't be afraid.
Come on.
Helena, give me your hand.
Good, Helena.
You're doing great.
This way.
That's it.
We're almost there.
I need you to ride
inside here, okay?
Simulation center, grid clean.
Affirmative, check the next one.
The levels are higher than normal.
It's the suit.
You left it outside.
Gate!
The same thing happened
with the other ships.
It was all agreed.
Since when?
Since before you were born.
And you coming to the ship?
That too.
The oxygen was only an excuse.
- It's checked in remote code.
- Then why did you go in?
Technical inspection
of each Rebecca unit.
I want to see them.
Nobody can know you're out.
But they're my parents.
Nobody, Helena. Especially them.
Why?
Because they're military scientists.
They've dedicated half their lives
to this project.
- But they're my family.
- No, they're not.
They're not.
- What is that?
- Thunder.
It's going to rain.
Come on.
I HAVE A MEETING
BACK IN 2 HOURS
WE LIVE HERE, BUT DON'T GO OU WITHOUT ME!
IF SOMEONE RINGS
DON'T OPEN DOOR
DOWNSTAIRS SHOWER
DOESN'T WORK
REMEMBER, I'LL BE BACK
IN 2 HOURS
What if they find out?
There's no reason they would.
That's not an answer, Alex.
What if something
goes wrong?
It's too dangerous.
I'm willing to take that risk.
Right.
That's what worries me.
Alex.
Don't look at me like that.
Did you really think I was a wolf?
No, but we're not supposed
to see each other.
My cell phone.
I have an apartment I never use
in Isaura District.
If for any reason
you need to disappear for a while,
you only have to call me.
And please don't talk about
this subject in the booth again.
Sometimes they record
the conversations randomly.
Thank you, Silvia.
Really.
Go on, get lost.
Hi.
It's weird, I've always had
the same clothes but in every size.
So, where do you want to go?
What do you want to do?
I don't know.
What's your favorite place?
Sometimes the simplest
mechanisms are actually
the most complex.
looking at them.
They're weird,
but pretty.
Is the sea far away?
The sea isn't like you imagine it
anymore.
The acid tides destroyed everything.
If nobody fixes it, soon they'll only
be able to live in places like this.
Did you ever go in the water?
Yeah, when I was six or seven.
But I didn't like it.
I can't imagine you
I was practically like I am now.
Shy...
Look.
I was antisocial,
Coke-bottle glasses...
A freak.
A freak?
What's a freak?
A freak is...
different.
Then I'm a freak too.
You have to hold the chopstick
with this finger.
Why do you use chopsticks?
You have to use this finger.
- Why do you eat with sticks?
- Open your mouth.
Good morning.
What's in the room downstairs?
The one I can't go in.
There are no cameras
in the bedroom or the common areas.
Only the ones you saw in the corridor
and the entrance.
I only had to hack the first one.
And when they see
I'm not getting older...
or that I always do the same thing?
We'll record your signal from here
and send it whenever we want.
It's easy.
What will they do with the rest
of the passengers in 20 years
at the end of the voyage?
The Rebecca unit will inform them
of a supposed error
in the navigation chart
and it will be extended indefinitely.
What for?
To study their vital signs longer.
How much longer?
The simulators will only
open the doors
when the biowitnesses confirm
that each passenger is deceased.
How...
How could you get involved
in something like this?
I'd like to show you something.
Hugo came into my life
shortly thereafter.
When he explained
the experiment to me,
the positive side of the project.
With the Earth-Celeste
voyage simulation
we can save millions of lives
across the world...
when the trips become a reality.
That's all I took into account.
So...
you put it all on a scale
and didn't mind sacrificing ten people?
No.
I didn't at the time.
- I love it when you're upset.
- Oh, Marta.
It's true.
That's the reason I married her.
- I'm being serious.
- So am I.
12 hours with no water every day.
And we're the lucky ones,
So you two met in Spain
when you were kids?
That's right.
I had no idea Alex worked here.
When I ran into him at the lab,
I couldn't believe it.
Of course.
What a surprise!
Helena's a brilliant
computer technician.
No wonder they went over there
to find her.
And you're like Alex, right?
You can't talk about
the Orbit program.
Confidential information.
What do you think, Chao?
Alex said you're not convinced
about the trip to Celeste.
Well, I think at some point
we'll have to make a decision.
Either go back to being
the cavemen we once were,
or travel to Celeste.
But you still think
things can be fixed here.
I wish we weren't throwing in
the towel on Earth.
I also don't like the idea of my son
having to spend half his lifetime in a ship
to reach a planet
we don't even know.
I don't even consider it.
Marta and I would get immediately
rejected by the boarding protocol.
The reproduction criteria
is crap.
There you go.
We're a disgusting species
and we deserve the planet
we've got.
But our kids don't.
Everything went fine.
The ten simulators are in order.
The inspection phase
was a success.
I'll take care of it.
See you after the committee.
Alex!
Can you come for a second?
- Does it hurt?
- No.
It wasn't the sun this time.
I'm going to call Chao.
you won't even feel it.
Laura will take care of you,
she has hands of gold.
Laura, please treat her like family.
We'll see you in the office.
Good. Alex, over here.
