Say again, Capa?

The payload is fully operational.

It's A-okay.

That's great news.

Looks like we got what we came for.

No, we don't.

Go ahead, Mace?

I know what caused

the distress signal.

There's a coolant failure of some kind.

The bottom line is...

... it doesn't matter that Capa

has his payload.

Without the mainframe, we can't fly.

lt's been sabotaged.

We should never have

gone off the mission.

I have something to say.

Found the crew.

What happened?

They had an epiphany.

They saw the light.

They burned themselves.

No sh*t.

I suspect the observation filter

is fully open.

If we weren't behind the screen

of lcarus Il, we'd join them.

Ashes to ashes.

Stardust to stardust.

lcarus!

lcarus. Stabilizers.

- What was that?

- Guys, get back to the airlock, now.

We have a major incident.

We are floating free from you.

Repeat, we are floating free.

All crew back to the airlock.

- Cassie.

- The airlock has decoupled.

We don't know why.

The locking system on Icarus I

is totally ripped open.

I can hold our position but we aren't

gonna be able to dock again.

There's another thing, guys.

You've got a breach, I can see it.

You're losing atmosphere.

We're screwed.

No, we're not.

One of us isn't, anyway.

What happened?

Airlock's destroyed.

There's only one suit. Capa's taking it.

- Why Capa?

- The rest of us are lower priority.

I'm not a low priority.

You're a comms officer on a ship

that has no communication.

I am the captain.

The mission needs a captain

to hold it together.

Harvey, Capa's the only person outside

of lcarus who can operate the payload.

There is no choice.

No, there's no choice for you.

Capa, I order you to remove that suit.

Get out of the suit.

That is a direct order.

I assure you, when I'm onboard lcarus Il

that I'll do everything within my power...

To what?

Shuttle back with more suits?

The airlock is ripped in half.

Once we break that seal,

how are we gonna re-pressurize?

Cassie.

Go.

Listen. We can't depressurize

when we open the airlock.

So the force of the gas

is gonna fire him out, right?

Right.

lf you open your airlock and

we line it up right, he'll fire inside.

And so will we.

Without suits?

- Get as close as you can.

- You'll have 2o meters to cover.

At minus 273 degrees Celsius.

It's gonna be cold.

But we'll make it.

Anyone got any better ideas?

Copy that.

Mace.

One problem.

The computer's down.

One of us has to manually

operate the seal.

From inside.

Sh*t.

You're right.

So, whatever happens,

one of us is staying behind.

I see. I get it.

It's me.

That's what you're all thinking?

No, Harvey.

It's me.

You okay?

Hey, Capa.

We're only stardust.

Mace, we're lined up.

Everything's set.

Searle, are you ready?

All right.

We only got one shot at this.

Cassie.

- Are you ready?

- Ready.

Harvey, keep your eyes shut

and exhale slowly.

Copy.

Let's do it.

Crew detected in airlock.

Recommend sealing

outer airlock door.

l lost Harvey. I lost Harvey.

- Harvey's gone.

- Crew detected in airlock.

Sealing outer airlock door.

Breathe, Mace. Just breathe.

Get my hand. Get my hand.

- Breathe, Mace.

- Capa?

You're okay, Mace. You're okay, Mace.

Please, breathe.

- Capa, are you all right?

- Yeah. Yeah.

Let's get you out of here.

Searle?

We're leaving now.

We're gonna complete the mission.

We're all thinking of you, Searle.

Searle?

We're gonna go now.

We love you.

I've been through lcarus's activity file

and I checked it.

Double-checked it.

Cory triple-checked it.

And it's the same results.

In other words, unless lcarus is deleting

her own files, she didn't do it.

And there was no malfunction

on the airlock hardware.

Which means the airlock

was decoupled manually.

Cassie and I were on the Flight Deck.

And I was with Capa and Searle.

And I think we can all assume

it wasn't Harvey.

Which leaves one possibility.

Trey.

Trey is so doped up

he can hardly walk or feed himself.

He sleeps for 23 hours a day.

And he blames himself for everything.

- Why would he do it?

- We don't know.

The possibility remains that it was

him and we gotta take that seriously.

By doping him up more?

This isn't just about the possibility

whether he sabotaged the airlock.

There is something else too.

When Searle and Harvey died,

we lost two breathers.

If Trey dies...

...we'll have the oxygen

to make it to the delivery point.

At least now we know what happened

on lcarus I.

- The same thing that's happening here.

- F*** you, Capa.

What are you trying to remind us of?

Our lost humanity?

I'll do it.

I'm not passing any bucks.

Do it how?

That's between me and Trey.

We'll have a vote this time.

Unanimous decision required.

So you know where I stand.

And me.

What are you asking?

That we weigh the life of one

against the future of mankind?

Kill him.

Cassie?

No.

- Cassie.

- I know the argument.

I know the logic.

You're saying you need my vote.

I'm saying you can't have it.

What do we do?

Oh, God.

I'm sorry, Cassie.

You make it easy for him.

Somehow.

Find a kindness.

Trey.

Everybody get here now.

He cut his wrists.

He took responsibility.

All these deaths.

Kaneda.

Searle. Harvey.

Trey.

None of them would have happened

if you hadn't diverted the mission.

- What do you want me to say?

- I don't want you to say sh*t.

I just want you to know that this...

...belongs here.

F*** you.

Air is low.

We need to limit our exertions.

- lcarus?

- Yes, Capa?

Run an update on biometric signs

for all crew.

Check oxygen consumption.

Checking.

Thank you.

Capa.

- Yes?

- You are dying.

All crew are dying.

We know we're dying.

As long as we can live long enough

to deliver the payload...

...we're okay with it.

Capa, warning.

You will not live long enough

to deliver the payload.

Please clarify.

Twelve hours before crew will be unable

to perform complex tasks.

Fourteen hours before crew will

be unable to perform basic tasks.

Sixteen hours until death.

Journey time to delivery point:

- Nineteen hours.

- Impossible. Corazon was certain.

We have remaining oxygen

to keep four crew alive.

Affirmative. Four crew could

survive on current reserves...

Trey is dead.

There are only four crew members.

Negative.

Affirmative, lcarus. Four crew:

Mace, Cassie, Corazon and me.

Five crew members.

lcarus?

Yes?

Who's the fifth crew member?

Unknown.

Where is the fifth crew member?

ln the Observation Room.

Are you an angel?

Has the time come?

I've been waiting so long.

Who are you?

Who am I?

At the end of time...

...a moment will come

when just one man remains.

Then the moment will pass.

The man will be gone.

There will be nothing to show

as if we were ever here...

...but stardust.

The last man, alone with God.

Am I that man?

My God.

My God, Pinbacker?

Not your God.

Mine.

lcarus. Full sunlight.

Anyone.

Oh, my God.

lcarus?

Warning, you do not have

authority to remove...
