The Cloverfield Paradox Page #4

---

It's much worse than we thought.

It's not just particles of two dimensions

interacting.

We've traveled to another one.

To another dimension?

So, hold on.

If that's not our Earth...

can someone please explain to me

how we're supposed to get home?

We have to get the Shepard fixed

and fire it again.

What we know about Quantum entanglement

dictates it should bring us back.

Perhaps undo the damage we've done.

It doesn't matter

what Earth that is.

We should go down and get help.

We need to go home...

to our home.

Look at them. At their war.

That will be us if we don't get back.

I'm with Monk.

I say we go to that Earth,

the one we cansee,

and get the hell off this station.

That place cannot save us.

The longer we stay here

the more dangerous it is.

For us and for everyone back home.

All circuits are busy now...

I can't get through to your home yet.

Circuits are busy.

That means no calls will go through.

I know what it means.

My uncle's dead.

There's nothing you could have done.

Molly.

Molly.

We're going to find your parents.

The most important thing right now

is keeping you safe.

Thanks.

You shouldn't text while driving.

You're a smart kid.

Only in emergencies.

This qualifies.

What did this?

We're not sure.

Bad things are happening.

But good people are

going to make it better.

We're going to need a lot of good people.

I'm gonna close the door.

Let me look at your arm again.

I'll do a better job this time.

Thanks, Monk.

You got it working, didn't you?

You got it working.

Something went wrong.

Shepard smashed a Higgs boson.

Overloaded.

Somehow you ended up here.

Your dimension crashed into mine.

Crew must be working on power.

Trying to fire the Shepard again

to get you back home.

Could you do me a favor?

Would you mind mention to your crew

that you escaping my dimension

will trap me in yours?

I've been thinking...

When we put out the fire, we ventilated...

What if condensation caused the Shepard

to overload?

Ventilation could fix that.

Run the numbers.

I'll check the circuits.

Tam.

Schmidt!

M Deck, I need help in Airlock 6.

I can't get out!

Tam!

Hold on!

-Hold on.

-It's jammed. Try and override it.

Tam, we're gonna get you out.

-Hurry!

-It's not working.

Come on, come on!

Mundy, let's do it manually.

Pull!

What's happening?

Get her out!

-Tam!

-Let go!

Tam figured out what we've

been doing wrong.

Condensation has been throwing off

our numbers.

We needed to ventilate.

We can't stay here.

This dimension is eating us alive.

We need to fix the Shepard and use it

to get home.

We can't.

Not without Tam.

Maybe not.

Are you sure about this?

All circuits are busy now.

Please--

All circuits are busy now--

-Hello?

- Joe, anything?

Not yet, but there's no debris.

That's a hopeful sign.

We're looking everywhere, I promise.

We'll figure out what happened to them.

It's the goddamn paradox, isn't it?

You can't find the station because

it isn't here anymore.

And they do this too?

What's happening here--

Michael, I'll call you as soon as

I know anything.

Look, I just need you to write this down.

I need you to contact

Andrew and Nancy Pontanuis

in Philadelphia.

My phone's not going through.

Just Tell them that their daughter

Molly is okay--

-Can you install Tam's algorithm?

- Yes.

-But I want all of Schmidt's work.

-What?

-Done.

-Kiel.

Once we get the Shepard operational,

we give her your work.

We put her in an escape pod

and send her home with the specs.

-What do you need?

-Power.

Parts of the core are irreparably damaged.

What's left isn't sufficient to fire.

How much?

I'd like 210 kilowatts for at least

eight seconds,

possibly as much as 12.

I'd like to take a bath

with identical twins

-and a tub of Rocky Road.

-Figure it out.

Hamilton, get Jensen

whatever she needs.

Let's get this done and get

the hell out of here.

-You can change in here?

-Thank you.

Nothing of mine would fit you, but...

-try this.

-Thanks.

You know, as odd as it is for me

to suddenly have you up here...

I realize it must be much stranger

for you.

Maybe I'm not the same Ava

you're friends with.

No, you're the same.

A little sadder perhaps.

The situation calls for it.

Mina?

Did you know my family?

Of course.

Michael...Isaac...

Ayana.

And your friend was...

strong enough to stay.

Stay where?

On Earth.

After the fire.

What fire?

The power cell.

The one...I put in the house

so they could

have reading lights at night,

so they would feel safe.

The fire.

It killed them both.

Hi, Mina.

A little visitor has come to see you.

Hi, Auntie Mina!

We love you.

Sending love.

Ava...

in this world, your family is alive.

They're on Earth.

That's why you didn't come up here.

You're down there...

with them.

If I divert everything non-life supporting

from the station

I can get us up to 170,

maybe 180 kilowatts.

-That's not enough.

-210, I know.

I started thinking about what

life-supporting elements

we could sacrifice,

which is when I landed on this.

If I shut down the O2,

I could get us up to 240.

Power down the O2 pumps.

There are six of us.

That gives us two hours of oxygen,

more or less.

So we turn off the O2 pumps,

fire the Shepard...

then, with the power generated

by the now operational Shepard,

restart the pumps.

That's clever.

I'm clever.

Kiel, I need you for a minute.

Anything you need, I'm here to help.

I won't let you down.

We're all dealing with a lot.

We've just got to keep it together.

They're alive.

In this place, my children are alive.

I'll do everything you need,

comply with every order,

but if we do get the Shepard to fire again

to get back to where we came from...

I won't be here.

You want to take a pod.

With Volkov and Tam gone,

there are enough vehicles

-for everyone.

-Ava.

This goes against regulation,

I know, but I don't care.

I need to go to see them.

What about Michael?

And Jensen said you weren't

on the crew of her mission.

-That means you're down there, too.

-I know.

Ava, that's not your family down there,

that's hers.

What's gonna happen when you get there?

You will never understand

what this is like.

No, I won't.

But as much as you want to see them,

this isn't right.

This isn't just about me.

The Ava that's down there

wants the same thing I do.

I know her.

She'll steal energy for her family

just like I did, and they won't survive.

I don't just need to see them...

I need to save them.

Michael would want me to.

Okay.

Let's turn off the oxygen.

The pumps will need to be deactivated

-from the maintenance ring.

- Yeah.

That means you'll be

working inside a giant oxygen tank.

-One spark and...

-Kaboom!

Yeah. No, I get it.

Kentucky Fried Mundy.

-That's not funny.

- I'll be on my comms...

Yeah.

It's gonna be tight.

Let's look at some the problems

we might come into.

Listen, Kiel. Trust me.

Even with one stumpy arm,

I think I can get this done.
