father's smile.

I found the house. Route 14,

latitude 40, 34 longitude.

Alright. You stay here.

Gardner.

- Gardner. You need to come with me now.

- No.

We are here to help. You're

putting yourself in great danger.

Why can't you just leave me alone?

This is my life.

Gardner. Gardner. Please. Come on.

- I'm going to find my father.

He's all I have.

- That is not true. You have me.

No. I don't. Kendra. You told me yourself.

You don't want children.

Gardner. That's not what I meant.

You know that.

You never wanted children.

And I'm sorry you had

to raise me at all.

I'll get the van. You go.

Duck.

Sorry.

Alright. You're gonna need to get in.

Hurry. Cmon.

Gardner. Let's go.

Go faster.

I'm trying to help him.

Just jump.

Cmon. Cmon. Get in.

There you go.

Alright, you may wanna hop in.

Gardner, take your seat please.

There you go.

Come on.

- You know how to fly this, right?

- No.

Oh, no.

The pressure.

- I know, right?

No Gardner the oil pressure.

Alright. I've got them.

Looks like they're landing on the free way.

This will be a bit tricky

I usually have a landing strip.

Co ordinates, I need co ordinates.

Brakes, try it.

There is no brakes.

We are gonna have to jump.

Let's jump

Oh, no.

Holy crap.

Alright we gotta go. Come on.

No bodies.

What? Are you sure?

Positive. They fellas went to the wreckage.

They are alive, somewhere.

You had one job...

One job to protect Gardner.

To keep him making contact

with the outside world.

Preventing exactly this

kind of eventuality.

You hanging this on me?

I admired you more than anyone.

We have been shouldering

East Texas for you. For years..

What are you trying to say?

I am trying to say the whole mission

was your job, your responsibility.

You just gave up.

Where were you?

When is the BMW's gonna ready?

- Later.

Well, can you get the paperwork started?

Please... sir?

This is stealing.

- yeah, what ever.

It's wrong.

How do you supposed to be find you father?

When you're right or wrong, seem to change

when you really need something

Is that a friend of yours?

- Where are we going?

- Anywhere off the grid.

Disabling the phone.

So Gardner, when you said

that you killed you mother

what exactly did you mean by that?

She died giving birth to me.

That does not mean that

you have killed her.

So, Who is that guy?

- He founded East Texas. Where I am from.

I thought you said you're from New York.

- Who was the woman?

- Kendra? She's an astronaut.

- Who you are now from, Mars?

- Yeah.

Get out.

Get out.

I don't understand.

- I don't want to be played, Gardner.

That's what it is? Mars?

Some weird disease?

People have been lying to me

my entire life, which is...

Whatever cause people suck.

They suck they lie

and they use you to get what they want,

and then they just throw you away

And the thing is

I didn't even like Calculus.

Now it's just Mr. Halls always drunk

and nobody can understand what he said...

but he doesn't care

what we do on our computers

So that's what I look forward to,

to Calculus.

To talking to you. So get out.

Tulsa, I am not lying to you. My mother

was an astronaut. She made a mistake.

I was born on Mars.

Just because people have

lied to you before,

I doesn't mean that

I am lying now.

And just because something sounds

crazy to you,

Doesn't mean that it's not true

So if you really wanna get rid of me,

You have to get out

Because I'm gonna find my father

You know.. When people talk to me

that way, they get their ass kicked.

Try it. I am rocking this gravity.

Okay, Maybe you actually

believe it yourself.

- What?

- I am Sorry.

- For what?

- For people lying

for people sucking things.

I'm sorry you're angry.

- I am not angry.

Allow me?

- What are you doing?

Chivalry is not dead

at least not in Nantucket.

On a road trip with an insane.

What is...

It's just a horse.

We should not be doing this.

We need a device that's not being traced.

You wanna know where your father is, right?

Hey, it's unlocked. Consider

yourself lucky.

I consider myself a criminal.

There was a Sarah Elliot

who was an astronaut. Maybe that.

Says she died tragically from pressure

suit failure shortly after arriving.

Well, I'm a secret.

- Of course you are. And I'm enigma

- Same person.

- I know, it's not working..

Damn it. We lost connection.

- Yeah, they are pretty cheap here.

Your best option is to save decoy isn't

piggybacking of the firewall installed.

Oh, cool, Thanks.

- Pay for my wrap and I won't tell.

No, we don't have money. Sorry.

- We do have money.

Why do not you say that louder?

- We have money.

Sorry, he doesn't speak sarcasm.

Here, take it.

My mother was wearing this when she died.

It's some sort of ring.

Looks like Half a ring.

Part of a bigger ring?

There's words on it. Let's see.

In Havasupai, Indian tribe in Arizona.

"Reunion of the halves. Love, eternity."

Yep, it's signed. Shaman Neka.

Gardener I think this is

some kind of wedding ring,

and he married them.

That's Shaman Neka.

Alright, How far is it Arizona?

Smile.

Oh no.

Oh, not smiling, running. Come on.

Let's go.

Two teenagers got here last night.

We think they are still in there.

Where is he?

- Sir you gotta.

- Hey.

- We got him.

Are you okay?

Talk to me.

What's going on?

You're right, Kendra. I gave up.

I withdrew. And the greater the pressure,

the emotion why I retreated.

As long as he was just a face on the

screen, I could almost handle it.

Sentencing a boy to a life

he never asked for.

But it's like the malignancy of any secret

It just kept getting worse.

Every time I go over it,

what I did, the choices I made,

I couldn't have done anything else.

But that's, that's not the point.

I dealt with the problem.

I just had no idea

what the solution would do to me.

It killed me,

and I say, it's still killing me.

I need to make this right.

Gardner's blood has

elevated levels of troponin.

The news is not good Kendra.

Thank you.

Talk to me about troponin.

What?

- Elevated troponin in Gardner.

He's myosettic. Pool was depleted,

I've read the chart.

It's not necessarily a

problem on its own but

in conjunction with

elevated levels of troponin

He is suffering from an enlarged heart.

His heart can not

handle our atmosphere, our gravity.

He is running out of time.

Is that a balloon?

Tulsa, There is a balloon.

Tulsa, There is a balloon out there.

- Alright, alright.

- That's huge.

- Burgers and balloons.

- You really gotta slow down.

That's your fifth?

These taste so good.

Hey, Can you check in there,

see if there is any cash? Here?

Cowboys always stash away a few box

No, That's for your mouth.

Just gotta blown it.

No, you don't... Yeah, okay.

Nice. There you go.

You got a..

Marks on your face.

Thanks.

Alright, go change. Relax,

this place is like a million stores

and like a trillion dollars.

Don't, there are cameras. Alright. But

look, this is the last of our money.
