iand now,

it won't deploy again./i

1455

01:
11:59,063 -- 01:12:00,770

iIt could be

a servo failure./i

1456

01:
12:00,805 -- 01:12:02,063

iIt could be

a blown power supply,/i

1457

01:
12:02,098 -- 01:12:03,882

ibut I've done

all I can from here./i

1458

01:
12:03,930 -- 01:12:05,015

iSomebody's gonna have

to take a walk,/i

1459

01:
12:05,050 -- 01:12:05,641

icheck it out./i

1460

01:
12:06,765 -- 01:12:09,420

Tell Rika, Val, and Manny

to grab their pressure suits

1461

01:
12:09,455 -- 01:12:10,466

and meet in the airlock.

1462

01:
12:10,501 -- 01:12:12,566

Jules, you're in charge

of monitoring the E.V.A.

1463

01:
12:12,634 -- 01:12:13,457

Roger.

1464

01:
12:13,668 -- 01:12:15,147

[beeping]

1465

01:
12:15,466 -- 01:12:17,142

[beeping]

1466

01:
12:17,969 -- 01:12:18,944

[sighs]

1467

01:
12:31,075 -- 01:12:34,463

Julia Child says that

the key to making great souffle

1468

01:
12:34,498 -- 01:12:38,198

is beating of egg whites

to form air bubbles that expand

1469

01:
12:38,233 -- 01:12:39,440

- with heat from oven, yes?

- Oh, right, yeah,

1470

01:
12:39,475 -- 01:12:39,978

I like Julia.

1471

01:
12:40,046 -- 01:12:41,301

iShe came

to our send-off, right?/i

1472

01:
12:41,336 -- 01:12:42,312

iShe's the one

that brought all the--/i

1473

01:
12:42,379 -- 01:12:43,776

iNo, no, no,

that's Julia Childress./i

1474

01:
12:43,811 -- 01:12:46,241

- iThis is different./i

- It's probably a fried circuit board.

1475

01:
12:46,682 -- 01:12:48,920

I design these things

to withstand a sub-zero vacuum

1476

01:
12:48,955 -- 01:12:50,116

and every stress

known to man,

1477

01:
12:50,151 -- 01:12:51,649

and then

some suit comes along,

1478

01:
12:51,716 -- 01:12:54,037

checks a box, and farms it out

to the lowest bidder.

1479

01:
12:54,320 -- 01:12:55,313

You think

if there's one thing

1480

01:
12:55,348 -- 01:12:56,222

they wouldn't cut

corners on, huh?

1481

01:
12:56,261 -- 01:12:59,661

Yeah, no comm array,

no data uploads, no show...

1482

01:
12:59,696 -- 01:13:00,419

Not that I mind.

1483

01:
13:00,486 -- 01:13:01,532

Hey.

1484

01:
13:01,854 -- 01:13:03,487

Atlas, do you want a hand

with that?

1485

01:
13:03,779 -- 01:13:04,423

I can manage.

1486

01:
13:04,452 -- 01:13:05,860

[laughs]

Sure you can.

1487

01:
13:06,455 -- 01:13:07,434

Lift it.

1488

01:
13:07,589 -- 01:13:09,011

Ah, it's heavy.

1489

01:
13:11,058 -- 01:13:12,457

Can I ask you

a personal question?

1490

01:
13:12,525 -- 01:13:14,428

- Mm-hmm.

- Are you going nuts?

1491

01:
13:14,463 -- 01:13:17,566

Probably,

but would I know it if I were?

1492

01:
13:17,601 -- 01:13:19,163

- Uh, probably not.

- No.

1493

01:
13:19,198 -- 01:13:21,130

First clue you'd have

would be us rushing at you

1494

01:
13:21,165 -- 01:13:23,495

with, uh,

ropes and a syringe.

1495

01:
13:23,563 -- 01:13:26,432

Until then, I guess you'll all

just have to trust me.

1496

01:
13:26,467 -- 01:13:29,187

Damn it.

This thing won't release.

1497

01:
13:29,366 -- 01:13:30,501

- [grunts]

- Well--

1498

01:
13:30,536 -- 01:13:32,466

Can you get me a pair

of pliers from the locker?

1499

01:
13:33,367 -- 01:13:35,821

[breathing heavily]

1500

01:
13:35,889 -- 01:13:37,173

You're not serious.

1501

01:
13:39,524 -- 01:13:41,363

No, concerned.

1502

01:
13:43,290 -- 01:13:44,559

As a member

of the crew--

1503

01:
13:44,594 -- 01:13:47,650

I'm fine.

Now get me the pliers, please.

1504

01:
13:49,204 -- 01:13:50,067

There we go.

1505

01:
13:50,117 -- 01:13:51,661

[breathing heavily]

[beeping]

1506

01:
13:52,051 -- 01:13:54,628

[grunting]

1507

01:
13:54,663 -- 01:13:55,497

[beeping]

1508

01:
13:56,764 -- 01:13:57,891

One of these

is a backup,

1509

01:
13:57,941 -- 01:13:59,339

and one of them is the one

that's supposed to--

1510

01:
13:59,358 -- 01:14:01,297

Let's check.

We have one, two...

1511

01:
14:03,101 -- 01:14:04,634

[door closes, locks]

1512

01:
14:04,702 -- 01:14:06,768

This--Did you--

1513

01:
14:06,836 -- 01:14:07,488

Hey.

1514

01:
14:08,803 -- 01:14:09,675

Hey.

1515

01:
14:11,172 -- 01:14:12,537

Very funny.

Who's the joker?

1516

01:
14:12,874 -- 01:14:14,539

So do you, uh, want--

1517

01:
14:15,906 -- 01:14:16,644

Open the door

if you want it.

1518

01:
14:16,679 -- 01:14:18,276

- All right, seriously, Commander.

- Sorry?

1519

01:
14:18,340 -- 01:14:20,241

So open the door.

1520

01:
14:20,307 -- 01:14:22,008

[laughter]

1521

01:
14:22,043 -- 01:14:23,992

- Oh, Commander, Commander.

- I can't hear you.

1522

01:
14:24,009 -- 01:14:25,508

- Come on, why don't you get out--

- I can't hear you.

1523

01:
14:25,576 -- 01:14:27,225

JEAN:

iAttention, Airlock C/i

No, no, no, no.

1527

01:
14:32,086 -- 01:14:33,471

He hasn't got

his helmet on.

1528

01:
14:33,547 -- 01:14:35,249

Jean,

reseal the outer door.

1529

01:
14:35,284 -- 01:14:36,592

iUnable to comply./i

1530

iFlight deck, we have a problem

in Airlock C./i

1532

01:
14:42,518 -- 01:14:43,242

Okay, we're on it.

1533

01:
14:43,272 -- 01:14:44,647

Something's tripped

the outer-hatch release.

1534

01:
14:44,682 -- 01:14:46,117

- Jimmy, Jimmy.

- I'm ahead of you.

1535

01:
14:46,152 -- 01:14:47,404

It's coming, it's coming.

1536

01:
14:47,435 -- 01:14:48,376

It's gonna

take a second.

1537

01:
14:48,405 -- 01:14:49,785

Pike's gonna get sucked

out there.

1538

01:
14:49,853 -- 01:14:50,886

Don't shout!

1539

01:
14:51,357 -- 01:14:52,921

- Open the door, Jean!

- Open the door, Jean!

1540

01:
14:52,956 -- 01:14:54,259

iThe outer door

is now opening./i

1541

01:
14:54,294 -- 01:14:56,093

Override command, Jean!

iLet's go, let's go!/i

1545

15:11,994 -- 01:15:13,498

Rika, listen to me.

1546

01:
15:13,533 -- 01:15:15,477

- Do something!

- I cut the power bus.

1547

01:
15:15,512 -- 01:15:17,361

The outer door

is not opening anymore,

1548

01:
15:17,396 -- 01:15:18,834

but I can't shut it.

1549

01:
15:18,932 -- 01:15:21,432
