Stranded Page #6

to locate where the air is escaping.

All I need is a small trace...

This is impossible.

Jenny? Jenny?

-Jenny?

-I'm here.

Yes, that's it. It's Susan's signal.

-Is it possible?

-No, it's not possible.

But that's the signal.

She can't be alive. It's impossible.

Jenny? Luca?

Can you copy?

We copy, but we don't have an image.

You must try to make it over here.

There's air here, for everyone.

Over here.

-And Rodrigo?

-He didn't make it. He's dead.

But you...survive.

-Breathable air here.

-I think she's crazy.

-Could she still be alive?

-If Rodrigo gave her some oxygen.

-Or if she took it from him.

-What are you trying to say?

I don't know.

Maybe she's hallucinating.

-We could try to reach her.

-Could we?

We have one hour of oxygen

on the ship.

We have two space suits

with oxygen tanks filled.

And we have the one

from the captain.

I think we can make it.

I thought you didn't want to die

in a space suit.

I've come to the conclusion

that no death is good.

I want to find out

what happened to Susan.

Come on.

I need to rest for a while. These suits

were not designed for long walks.

You're alive!

Vivo.

- Jenny!

It's crazy.

So this, my friends,

is the bottom of the Marineris Valley.

It's been tough getting down here.

Herb and Fidel died

without even seeing it.

But this place could mean hope for us.

There's water, air, and organic life.

A primitive lichen species that we

may be able to extract proteins from.

So there you have it. It's a fact.

Mars was inhabited millions of

years ago. A civilization thrived here.

What were they like?

How did they live?

What did they feel about their world?

What happened here?

When the planet cooled,

they built devices like the tunnel-

-able to retain air and sustain life

in an increasingly inhospitable place.

But in the end, they didn't survive.

Who knows why?

We won't be around to find out.

I'm down to my last camera battery,

and filming as much as I can.

This is for those of you

who are viewing this footage.

Those who will seek answers

to these mysteries.

Our only objective now is to survive.

As Herbert said:
"We're stranded."

Like castaways,

we'll hold out to the end.

Take care of our families.
