For the first time.

Look at this, look at this.

-Holy sh*t, you did it.

-It's working.

-We are focused at 47 teravolts.

-Oh, man!

Hamilton, viewscreen mode.

-Yeah!

- Oh, man! Nice.

Oh, yeah man!

That's pretty.

Schmidt, tell me something.

It says it hit 602--

What the hell is happening?

-Extinguisher systems are down.

-Then we ventilate.

I need 63M open, now!

Oh, no.

Something's wrong here, guys.

It's all scrambled.

Qinhuangdao, do you copy?

The O2 tanks are leaking.

Our reserves are severely diminished.

-Qinhuangdao, do you copy?

- The systems are scrambled.

There's absolutely no guarantee

any executable will function as expected.

I'm rebooting the comms system.

I'm not picking up anything.

Okay, what else?

Life support at 74 percent.

Main power is fried.

This is backup.

Temperature is all over the place

and nothing gets better

until Mundy and I get our hands on it.

-We've got gear to fix all this?

- Not by a long shot.

Request an ECL to send supplies.

This doesn't make any sense.

-The output, massive amount of energy.

- Tam, please kill that alarm.

There was some kind

of malfunction.

Really Schmidt?

There was a malfunction?

Kiel?

It isn't there.

The frequency for Mission Control?

The Earth.

I...can't find anything.

We must have gotten turned around,

moved during firing.

It's big, blue, full of angry people.

Keep looking, you'll find it.

I've double checked the radio target,

but the target's gone.

Guys, the systems are scrambled.

Hamilton is right.

It's not here.

We're not picking up any signals.

The entire Earth is not gone!

Cycle the external cameras.

All of them.

Wait, are we saying

this thing of his

could have thrown us across the galaxy?

We knew it was dangerous.

That's why we had to go up in space

to fire this thing.

No, come on.

Bullshit!

You, did this!

I never trusted you.

-We all did this.

The Earth is gone.

The Earth is gone!

Are you sure

we checked everything?

Mundy, you've asked

that question six times.

It's a good bloody question,

isn't it?

-This is your fault.

- Of course you blame me.

Who else made this happen?

We've been working on this

for two years.

-Volkov is right, the Earth's gone!

- You don't know this.

-Somehow, we did it.

- Look out any goddamn window.

-Maybe we're missing something.

- We're missing the Earth!

-This is not our fault.

None of us...

Alright, here's what we're up against.

The station's got problems

we don't have tools to fix.

At this point, looking for home

is a luxury for us.

First, we need to survive.

We need to consider, evidence or not...

that we might have ended the lives

of billions of people.

We didn't destroy the Earth,

we just lost it.

Totally routine day. Copy that.

Mundy, take Schmidt and deal with the O2.

I'm a physicist.

And now you work for Mundy.

Oh, your lucky day.

Tam, you and Monk will search and repair

all power leaks.

Maybe we can get the temperature

under control.

Hamilton, Volkov, test all circuits,

then we can start looking for home.

When the Shepard overloaded,

something went wrong with

the station's orientation system.

-We'll replace the circuits.

-No sh*t. If that's the problem

It might be the gyro.

Then let's get that fancy compass fixed.

-Volkov?

-Yes.

-I found the problem with the gyro.

-What, it's fried?

-It's not here.

-What do you mean, it's not here?

I secured this when we fired the ship.

This look okay?

Tam.

Tam?

-You alright?

-Shh.

What is that?

It's coming from inside the wall.

-In the wall?

-No, walls don't make noises like that.

-We have to open it.

- Volkov, get the tools!

Volky!

Before you rip off that panel

and damage God-knows-what,

can we at least discuss it?

Mundy's right.

It could be dangerous.

-We should open it.

-No!

Who are you to decide?

Stop! We are doing this.

All right, good luck.

Three...two...one.

-We're here. We've got you.

-Hold on!

-We have to cut her free.

- We can't cut anything.

Those lines going through her body

are power lines.

-She's dying in there!

- Mundy, cut the power.

-Hold on!

- She's dying!

We don't have a choice.

We have a choice!

Stop it! We don't know what that is.

-Shut it off!

- We can reroute the power later.

Hold on

-Mundy!

- Module 17 powered down.

-Just breathe. It's okay.

- Power's down. Let's cut her out.

-Monk!

- She's bleeding out!

I can't do anything

untilshe's out of the wall.

-Help me.

-Guys, hurry!

Help me...Hamilton.

She just said your name.

What is happening to me?

What's happening to me?

What's happening?

We're gonna cut you free.

-Quick.

- Please.

-We got to get her out.

- Can you move her leg?

-Okay, got it.

- Hurry up!

Mundy, the saw. Quick!

Hold on. Stay with me.

-Careful with the pipe.

- That's no good.

-Hold her down.

- Careful.

-It's gonna be okay.

-Grab her leg.

This is a mistake.

Schmidt, I need more light!

You got her?

Keep her down.

-Breathe, breathe.

- Okay.

Get something to strap her down.

-Keep her still.

- All right.

You're okay.

No official public

statement has been

made about what caused the explosion

that was thought at first to be

a nuclear weapon.

But we are being assured by authorities

that that is not what this is.

Are you on call?

Good.

Yeah, I saw it.

Has the hospital issued Code Orange yet?

Shaw said what did it?

Jesus Christ.

-This is madness!

- Calm down.

We can't stay calm.

Not with that woman lying there.

Who is she?

And what the hell is she doing here?

She knew my name.

What if we're all going mad?

I'm not gonna say it again.

We have to stay focused.

We have other problems to deal with.

Speaking of other problems,

how the hell are we supposed

to find the Earth?

Without the gyro, we're lost.

Any ideas?

Because honestly, I'm stumped.

You're assuming Earth is still there.

Earth disappears.

Station does not feel the same.

A woman appears in the wall.

We're definitely not in Kentucky anymore.

-Kansas.

-Kansas?

Really? Who gives a sh*t?

People from Kansas.

I don't know what's going on,

but one thing is clear.

The Shepard's done it.

Which means it might also undo it.

Right now, the integrity of the station

is all that matters.

We have repairs that need to happen,

immediately.

Monk will give us an update

when there is one.

Let's get to it.

Meet me at X-Deck in ten minutes.

-Kiel wants me with him...

-I'm done with Kiel.

You and I need to take control

if we're ever going to get home.

Hey!

The worms are missing.

Guys?

The worms are gone!

Enhance the core density.

I did. I told you I did.

We have to think about the fact that...

Bullshit...no...

...there might be a larger problem.

We're gonna solve this thing.

And what if we can't?

We will, goddamn it!

Who else can fix this up here?

No one.

Now focus and get your sh*t together.

Understand me?

Speak to me like that again...

and you and I will have a bigger problem

than the Shepard.

You copy?
