827

00:
38:24,994 -- 00:38:26,810

All right, Braun,

what--what is that?

828

00:
38:26,845 -- 00:38:28,082

I work mission control.

829

00:
38:28,117 -- 00:38:29,502

They're not above lying

to the crew,

830

00:
38:29,537 -- 00:38:30,628

you know,

for our own safety.

831

00:
38:31,175 -- 00:38:34,042

Does it mean the company man's

getting a touch paranoid?

832

00:
38:34,389 -- 00:38:36,988

Make fun of me if you want,

but it's making me nervous.

833

00:
38:37,023 -- 00:38:38,812

Yeah, well, Braun,

if you're nervous,

834

00:
38:38,847 -- 00:38:41,770

go to the commander

and get a reassuring cuddle.

835

00:
38:41,900 -- 00:38:43,079

You've experienced this?

836

00:
38:43,134 -- 00:38:44,305

You know what,

Jimmy?

837

00:
38:45,101 -- 00:38:47,468

It's very easy

to play Armchair General.

838

00:
38:52,663 -- 00:38:53,653

Armchair what?

839

00:
38:53,688 -- 00:38:55,302

- He didn't mean that.

- You heard me.

840

00:
38:55,337 -- 00:38:56,462

- Tell him you didn't mean that.

- Shut up, Jules.

841

00:
38:56,497 -- 00:38:57,291

I meant it.

842

00:
39:06,286 -- 00:39:07,378

[laughing]

843

00:
39:13,118 -- 00:39:16,629

[slow jazz music]

844

00:
39:51,598 -- 00:39:54,931

iJean, identify the human figure

in my landscape./i

845

00:
39:54,967 -- 00:39:57,801

iI'm sorry, Dr. Meyer,

but there is no other human figure./i

846

00:
39:57,836 -- 00:39:58,106

[chuckles]

847

00:
39:58,146 -- 00:39:59,774

That's ridiculous.

I'm looking--

848

00:
40:06,337 -- 00:40:07,215

Never mind.

849

00:
40:08,840 -- 00:40:09,672

My mistake.

850

00:
40:10,139 -- 00:40:11,450

Must be seeing things.

851

00:
40:24,246 -- 00:40:27,078

[footsteps]

852

00:
40:30,994 -- 00:40:34,882

[breathing heavily]

853

00:
40:37,452 -- 00:40:40,834

[breathing heavily]

[beeps]

854

00:
40:53,024 -- 00:40:56,878

- That's the Aurelian Drive, right?

- Yeah, almost.

855

00:
40:56,913 -- 00:40:57,906

It's Orion.

856

00:
40:57,994 -- 00:41:00,088

It's named after

the first design for a spaceship

857

00:
41:00,123 -- 00:41:03,162

with nuclear-pulse propulsion,

almost a century ago.

858

00:
41:03,197 -- 00:41:06,127

A century?

That's 100 years.

859

00:
41:06,162 -- 00:41:07,095

Mm-hmm, that's right.

860

00:
41:07,427 -- 00:41:09,361

You know, sometimes it takes

a long time for an idea

861

00:
41:09,396 -- 00:41:10,632

to become a reality.

862

00:
41:11,361 -- 00:41:12,578

Don't you wish

you were going?

863

00:
41:15,029 -- 00:41:16,738

I'm a scientist,

not an astronaut.

864

00:
41:17,530 -- 00:41:19,224

But you designed it, Dad.

865

00:
41:20,931 -- 00:41:22,034

Well, that, um...

866

00:
41:23,833 -- 00:41:26,267

that private consortium

I told you about,

867

00:
41:26,302 -- 00:41:29,849

um, they're, uh,

they're already, uh...

868

00:
41:30,703 -- 00:41:33,771

They're--They're recruiting

a topnotch, um... team.

869

00:
41:33,806 -- 00:41:34,878

Jean, freeze program.

870

00:
41:34,917 -- 00:41:36,405

JEAN:
iIs there a problem,

Dr. Braun?/i

871

00:
41:36,440 -- 00:41:39,030

Yeah. Yeah.

This isn't my son.

872

00:
41:39,591 -- 00:41:41,308

He's generic.

He could be anybody's son.

873

00:
41:41,343 -- 00:41:43,422

iThe program extrapolates

as best it can,/i

874

00:
41:43,457 -- 00:41:45,242

based on the data available,

public records.

875

00:
41:45,277 -- 00:41:47,347

Yeah, look, just--Just forget

all that crap, all right, Jean?

876

00:
41:52,105 -- 00:41:53,088

Access me.

877

00:
41:53,173 -- 00:41:54,669

iYou, Dr. Braun?/i

878

00:
41:55,673 -- 00:41:58,642

Yes, use my, um,

my psych records,

879

00:
41:58,677 -- 00:42:00,397

my evaluations,

my family histories,

880

00:
42:01,061 -- 00:42:03,115

and all other data

available

881

00:
42:03,149 -- 00:42:05,028

to build a more realistic

version of this--

882

00:
42:05,311 -- 00:42:08,607

This character, and then tap

into the neural interface

883

00:
42:09,513 -- 00:42:11,781

using real-time biofeedback

of my cognitive response

884

00:
42:11,816 -- 00:42:13,025

to shape the character.

885

00:
42:14,816 -- 00:42:15,725

Help me.

886

00:
42:16,416 -- 00:42:18,343

Help me find out what

he'd really be like, Jean.

887

00:
42:19,817 -- 00:42:21,662

iExtrapolation complete./i

888

00:
42:27,387 -- 00:42:27,974

Shawn?

890

00:
42:32,324 -- 00:42:32,946

Son?

891

00:
42:34,990 -- 00:42:36,032

Are you all right?

892

00:
42:36,757 -- 00:42:39,162

Why do you come home

every night now

893

00:
42:39,325 -- 00:42:41,191

when you never used to

before?

894

00:
42:44,628 -- 00:42:45,384

What?

895

00:
42:45,760 -- 00:42:47,795

Why do you come home

every night now

896

00:
42:47,830 -- 00:42:50,241

when you never used to

before I died?

897

43:06,336 -- 00:43:08,504

903

00:
43:20,835 -- 00:43:22,226

Least of all, yourself.

911

00:

i18:

913

00:
44:44,038 -- 00:44:45,212

That's good.

914

00:
44:45,971 -- 00:44:47,298

iIt is, sir?/i

915

00:
44:50,306 -- 00:44:51,296

It's true.

916

00:
44:54,242 -- 00:44:55,715

It's really true.

917

00:
44:58,577 -- 00:45:01,616

When Johnny comes marching

home again,

918

00:
45:02,377 -- 00:45:05,376

Hurrah, hurrah,

919

00:
45:05,413 -- 00:45:07,847

We'll give him a hearty

welcome home,

920

00:
45:07,882 -- 00:45:09,373

Hurrah, hurrah,

921

00:
45:09,514 -- 00:45:13,872

Men will cheer

and the boys will shout,

922

00:
45:14,016 -- 00:45:15,377

The ladies

923

00:
45:16,517 -- 00:45:18,267

will all come out,

924

00:
45:18,818 -- 00:45:21,886

And we'll all feel great,

925

00:
45:24,487 -- 00:45:27,183

When Johnny comes marching

926

00:
45:28,418 -- 00:45:29,910

home,

[imitates gunshot]

928

00:
45:36,955 -- 00:45:38,854

There are more effective

treatments on Earth,

929

00:
45:38,922 -- 00:45:39,902

but we're here,

930

00:
45:39,952 -- 00:45:42,827

and Rika thinks we can extract

enough levodopa

931

45:42,862 -- 00:45:44,264

from the plants on board

to provide an--

932

00:
45:44,314 -- 00:45:45,625

Great.

Everyone's here.

933

00:
45:45,660 -- 00:45:47,262

We've been here

for 15 minutes, Frank.
