The Titan Page #3

---

Yeah.

Baby?

Yeah.

Rick?!

Help!

-I need somebody here right now!

He started rubbing his eyes.

He was complaining of pain.

Lieutenant, let me see your eyes. Okay.

Flush his eyes. Prep him.

Get him into surgery now.

No, Mrs. Janssen, you have to stay here.

When we know something, we'll tell you.

-Abi, please.

He is blind!

-That's only temporary.

-You did not tell me everything.

Now, look. You're tired. Go home,

get some rest. Freya will take care...

There are cameras in our house.

I know you've been watching us.

That was the Pentagon's idea.

It was for your security and ours.

I argued against it at the time.

If you don't like it,

I'll get rid of them. There is something alive inside of him.

Something that your f***ing book

doesn't talk about.

He is changing.

I need to keep this under control.

Rick needs me. Lucas needs you.

Go home. We'll talk about this later.

-Get back.

-I know them.

Colonel Solano.

Where is he?

With respect, Dr. Blake, you had your shot

at funding us and you blew it.

Blew it

We want to shut you down.

Anything now comes from envy

and resentment and is without merit.

What has no merit is your knee-jerk

program based on unproven science,

and your irrational ideas

about forced evolution. You're so desperate to prove it,

you won't admit you dove blindly...

There's nothing blind here.

Either catch up, or stop holding me back.

This isn't space research.

It's criminal, and morally repugnant.

They're becoming violent, losing control.

The last peopleto try this

were the Nazis.

-You are lying to them.

-Nobody gives a sh*t!

This is NATO's call.

NASA's just advising.

Let's make it clear.

I want this off my base.

Well, then you better call

Field Marshall Howard at NATO

or the Secretary of Defense

at the Pentagon

because they own your base.

You need to look over Ramos's files.

I have. It's a miracle we got this far.

We have to stop and assess what we've got.

This wasn't in the trials.

What we've got is a f***ing roller coaster

of reputation and money.

It'll work...

because it has to.

What if they all die?

Okay.

Off you go.

Your sight will come back in 24 hours.

You will regain your vision

and much, much more.

But we miscalculated your brain's ability

to process your enhanced senses.

Zane's brain just simply overloaded.

-It's surgery.

That's not gonna happen.

-Without it, Rick's brain will--

-Tell me the truth!

-Stop it.

-No! No!

I won't sit here,

and watch him turn my husband

into a f***ing animal!

We are in uncharted waters, Abigail.

What are we actually doing here?

During the first treatment,

we injected the subjects with an enzyme

that could alter human DNA.

-Well...

He's giving you a name. Do you know that?

Calling them Homo Titaniens, right?

It's a new species of man, yes.

If these enzymes

are doing the work,

how can you be sure

that his body doesn't just mutate

the eyes out altogether?

Or develop membranes like a reptile?

How can you possibly know

what he's becoming?

We don't know.

Nature is unpredictable.

Everybody evolves in a different way.

But I know for a fact

that if Rick doesn't have surgery,

within 48 hours,

he will lose control of his emotions,

and in 72 hours, he will be dead.

All we can do is move forward...

and hope and pray.

You said the test results were successful.

I said not everybody would survive.

You lied.

I told you what you needed to know

at the time.

You said you would become you, but better.

That's what you said.

And you will.

I have more than hope in you, Rick.

I have faith.

Hello?

I can see. I can see everything.

The night. The sky. There's no darkness.

I want to finish it.

"Saturn's largest moon is

the second largest in the solar system.

Larger than Mercury.

Its rivers carve valleys into soil rich...

in ammonia and nitrogen.

Nitrogen,

which can be used

to generate breathable oxygen,

or to produce fertilizer

for growing food."

Give me adrenaline!

Hold him down!

Dr. Wallis!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

We did it, Abi.

We stole fire from the gods.

Rick and Tally are the future now.

They leave in two days.

They communicate

at low frequency.

And tactile contact.

Our hearing can't detect it.

They can go home until we launch.

It's still him, Abi.

His ring.

Let's see.

Looks like it's...

Looks like it's just a little tight.

Might just have to get you a larger size.

Mom?

Everything's okay.

Go back to sleep, sweetie.

Will you turn my stars on?

Mom?

Come here. Okay.

Shh, shh.

Rick! Rick!

No!

Colonel!

Colonel!

-He is the property of the U.S. Military.

-He's a threat to life on this base.

Lieutenant Janssen is $300 million

worth of scientific research.

-If you kill him...

-I'll do what I have to do.

Shh. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

It's okay, honey.

It's okay. We're okay.

I know where he is.

Stay here. I'll be right back, sweetie.

Rick!

Rick!

Please.

Please don't run.

Abi...

Can you hear me?

Abi?

Where am I?

You mustn't go out on your own again.

We were lucky to find you.

I'm sorry they hurt you,

but you shouldn't have run.

Now, Rick's safe, and Lucas.

But we don't have any time.

What?

He's now the future.

And he's going to survive,

if we can help him.

But we need to get him on Titan

so he can live.

We need your help.

If we force him, I fear we'll kill him.

Do you understand?

We need to stabilize him first

or he's not gonna make it.

The Pentagon's ordered

an immediate evacuation.

-We have to stabilize him. His vitals...

-We have to leave now!

Listen. Give me a minute, will you?

Abigail...

-If you can make him submit...

If you can make him take one of these,

you can end his suffering.

This is a chemical lobotomy.

You'll erase all of his memories.

He's resisting...

because he's attached

to too many things on Earth.

He won't remember who he is,

he won't remember who I am,

he won't remember who his son is.

What good would it do if he did?

You know he can't stay here.

He's a soldier.

There's no going back.

Be careful, Abigail.

Let's go. Trust me.

No! No! Get out!

What's going on?

Oh, my God! You switched it!

Hold it right there!

Mom?

There's another way out, through the lab.

Dad?

Dad!

Rick!

-Let's get you down.

-Okay.

Be careful.

Here's something.

It's over, Abi.

It's done with.

They'll shoot...

and kill your family.

Just walk away with Lucas.

Go f*** yourself.

Shoot them.

What?

Shoot them!

No.

No, I'm not shooting

two unarmed women and a child.

Are you losing your minds?

Look at what we've got!

That's our research!

That's what we bled for!

I made him! I made him!

But if we can't control him,

all of us are dead.

All of us.

The crazy bastard did it.

Yeah.

Rick changes everything.

He gives us hope.

Your family's a miracle, Dr. Janssen.

Hey, Mom.

Hi.

-It was great.

Come outside. It's so clear.
