Original subtitles

Well, my dad was a farmer.

Like everybody else back then.

Of course, he didn't start that way.

Computer says you're too tight.

I got this.

Drop it straight.

Shutting it down, Cooper.

What?

Shutting it all down. No, I need power up!

Sorry about that.

Go back to bed, babe.

I thought you were the ghost.

Oh.

I had no such thing as ghosts, babe.

Grandpa said you can get ghosts.

Well, maybe that's because Grandpa's a little too close to being one himself.

Go back to bed.

Were you dreaming about the crash?

I hit you by the back of the bed, Marv.

The wheat had died.

The blight came and we had to burn it.

And we still had corn. We had acres of corn. But mostly we had dust.

I guess I can't describe it. It was just constant, just that steady blow of

dirt.

We wore a robe.

little strips of heat would sometimes over our nose and mouth so we wouldn't

read so much of it well when we set the table we always set the plate upside

down glasses or cups whatever it was upside down

Another table burp.

Dad, can you fix this?

What the heck did you do to my lander? It was me.

Let me guess, it was your ghost?

It knocked it off my shelf.

It keeps on knocking books off. Ghost is a ghost, dumbass. Hey.

I looked it up.

It's called a poltergeist.

Dad, tell her. Wow, that's not very scientific, Murph. You said science is

admitting what we don't know.

She's got you there.

Hey, start looking after our stuff.

If you want to talk science, don't just tell me that you're afraid of some

ghost. No, you got to go further. You got to record the facts, analyze, get to

the how and the why, then present your conclusions.

Deal?

Deal. All right.

Y 'all have a good day at school.

Hold up.

Parent, keep your conferences.

Parent, not grandparent.

Slow down, Turbo.

What's that dust doing?

Nelson's torching his whole crop. Light?

They're saying it's the last harvest for okra.

Ever.

He should have planted corn like the rest of us.

You be nice to that Miss Hanley. She's single.

What's that supposed to mean?

Repopulating the earth. Start pulling your weight, young man.

Why don't you start minding your own business, old man?

All right, Murph, give me a second.

Uh -huh.

Third.

Find the gear, dumbass. Grind it.

What'd you do, Murph?

Uh, she didn't do nothing.

Blew the tires off.

Murph's off.

Shut up. Grab the spare, Tom.

That is the spare.

Get the patch kit.

How am I supposed to get the patch out here?

You need to figure it out.

I'm not always going to be here to help.

What's going on, Murph?

Why did you and Mom leave me after something that's bad?

Well, we didn't.

Murphy's Law.

Murphy's Law doesn't mean that something bad will happen. What it means is that

whatever can happen will happen.

And that sounded just fine with us.

Whoa!

Get in.

Get in, let's go.

What about the flat tire?

The Indian Air Force drone.

Solar cells can power an entire farm. Take the wheel, Tom.

Go, go, go.

Keep that aim right at it.

Faster, Tom. I'm losing it.

Right at it.

Stay on it.

Here we go.

Whoa!

Nice and calm.

Dad?

I almost got it. Don't stop. Don't stop.

Dad?

You told me to keep driving.

I guess that answers the old if I ask you to drive off a cliff scenario.

We lost it. No, we didn't.

Nicely done.

How long did you put up there?

Deli Mission Control went down the same as ours ten years ago.

Another ten years?

Why'd it come down so low?

I don't know.

Maybe the sun cooked its brain or it was looking for something.

What? Give me a large flat blade.

Maybe some kind of signal?

What are you going to do with it?

I'm going to give it something socially responsible to do.

Like drive a combine.

Can't we just let it go?

It wasn't hurting anybody.

That thing needs to learn how to adapt, Murph.

Like the rest of us.

How's this work? You guys come with?

I've got class.

This one.

needs to wait.

What did you do?

They'll tell you about it when you get in there.

They're not going to be mad.

Not with me.

Just please try not to. Hey, relax.

Got this.

A little late, Coop.

Yeah, we had a flat.

And I guess you had to stop off at the Asian fighter plane store.

No, actually, sir, that's a surveillance drone.

With outstanding solar cells. It's Indian.

Take a seat.

So, uh, we got Tom's scores back.

He's gonna make an excellent farmer.

Yeah, he's got a knack for it.

What about college?

Well, the university only takes a handful. They don't really have the

I still pay my taxes.

Now, where does that money go? There's no more armies.

No, it doesn't go to the university.

Look, Coop, you have to be realistic.

You're ruling my son out for college now?

The kid's 15.

Tom's score simply isn't high enough.

What's your waistline?

About what, 32?

I'm about 33, you can see.

I'm not sure I see what you're getting at. You're telling me it takes two

numbers to measure your own ass, but only one to measure my son's future?

Come on.

You're a well -educated man, Coop, and a trained pilot. And an engineer.

Okay, well, right now, we don't need...

More engineers.

We didn't run out of television screens and planes.

We ran out of food.

The world needs farmers.

Good farmers, like you and Tom.

Uneducated farmers.

We're a caretaker generation, Coop.

And things are getting better.

Maybe your grandkids will get to be ended down here, sir.

No.

Miss Hanley's here to talk about Murph.

Murph is...

A great kid. She's really bright. But she's been having a little trouble

She brought this in to show the other students the section on the lunar

Yeah, it's one of my old textbooks.

See, I always loved the pictures.

It's an old federal textbook. We've replaced them with the corrected

Corrected?

Explaining how the Apollo missions were fake to bankrupt the Soviet Union.

You don't believe we went to the moon?

I believe it was a brilliant piece of propaganda that the Soviets bankrupted

themselves, pouring resources into rockets and other useless machines.

Useless machines?

And if we don't want a repeat of the excess and wastefulness of the 20th

century, then we need to teach our kids about this planet, not tales of leaving

it.

You know, one of those useless machines they used to make was called an MRI.

And if we had any of those left, the doctors would have been able to find the

cyst in my wife's brain before she died instead of afterwards.

Then she'd have been the one sitting there listening to this instead of me,

which would have been a good thing because she was always the calmer one.

I'm sorry about your wife, Mr. Cooper.

But Murph got into a fistfight with several of her classmates over this

nonsense.

We thought it would be best to bring you in and see what ideas you might have

for dealing with her behavior on the home front.

Yeah, you know what?

There's a game tomorrow night.

She's going through a bit of a baseball phase.

Her favorite team's playing.

There's going to be candy and soda.

I think I'll take her to that.

How'd it go?

I got you offended.

What? Cooper?

This is Cooper, go.

Coop, those combines you rebuilt went haywire.

Just reset the controllers.

I did that.

Now you should come take a look.

One by one, they've been peeling off the fields and heading over.

Something's interfering with the compass.

Magnetism or some such.

Nothing special about which book.

I've been working on it, like you said.

I count on this paper.

Why?

In case the ghost is trying to communicate.

I'm trying, Morris.

Morris?

Yeah.

Dr. Dasher, you... I know what Morris County is, Murph. I just don't think

bookshelf's trying to talk to you.

I had to refit every compass clock and GPS to offset the anomaly.

Which is?

I don't know.

I mean, if the house was built on magnetic ore, we'd have seen it the

we switched on the tractor.

I hear your meeting at the school didn't go so well.

You heard?

It's like we've forgotten who we are at home.

Explorers. pioneers, not caretakers.

When I was a kid, it felt like they made something new every day, some gadget

or idea, like every day was Christmas.

But six billion people just try to imagine that.

And every last one of them trying to have it all.

This world isn't so bad.

And Tom will do just fine.

You're the one who doesn't belong.

Born 40 years too late or 40 years too early.

My daughter knew it. God bless her.

And your kids know it, especially Murph.

Well, we used to look up in the sky and wonder at our place in the stars.

Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt.

Cooper. You were good at something, and you never got a chance to do anything

with it.

I'm sorry.

You didn't expect this jerk that was giving you this food to turn on you like

that and destroy you.

In April, I believe, I'm right, 15th of April, I think.

This happened about 1 .30 when that thing came off the top of that canyon.

In my day, we had real ballplayers.

Who are these bums?

Well, in my day, people were too busy fighting over food to even play

Popcorn at a ball game is unnatural.

I want a hot dog.

School says you're going to follow in my footsteps.

I think that's great.

You think that's great?

You hate farming, Dad.

Grandpa said.

Grandpa said, huh?

Isn't all that matters how you feel about it?

I like what you do.

I like our farm.

I'd be great at it.

mask up.

You guys shut your windows?

even the tone.

Oh my God.

It's gravity.

I'm dropping Tom, then heading to town.

You want to clean that up?

When you're finished praying to it?

It's not Morse, Murph. It's binary.

Thick is one, thin is zero.

Nope.

I

can't

miss this.

Grandpa will be back.

in a couple of hours, Murph.

But you don't know what you're going to find.

And that is why I can't thank you.

Murph?

Grandpa will be home in a while. Tell him I'll call him on the radio.

You think this is funny?

You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me.

Make yourself useful.

They're keeping the bolt cutters.

Don't be afraid How

did

you find this place?

You had the coordinates for this facility marked on your map. Where did

those coordinates? Where's my daughter?

Don't make me take you down again. Sit down.

You still think you're a Marine, pal?

Marines don't exist anymore.

I got grunts like you mowing my grass.

Where did you find those coordinates?

Unless you don't look much like a lawnmower.

I think I'll turn you into an overqualified vacuum cleaner.

No, you won't.

Tars. Back down, please.

Yeah, you're taking a risk. He's the next military security.

They're old and their control units are unpredictable.

It's what the government could spare.

Who are you?

Dr. Brandt.

I knew a Dr. Brandt once. He was a professor.

What makes you think I'm not?

Well, engineers cute either.

Please, Dr. Brandt. I don't have any idea what this is.

Then I'm scared for my daughter and I want her by my side. You give me that,

I'll tell you anything you want to know.

Get the principals and the girl in the conference room, please.

Your daughter is fine.

Bright kid.

Must have a very smart mother.

It's pretty clear you don't want any visitors.

Why don't you just let us back up from your fence and we'll be on our way, huh?

It's not that simple.

Well, sure it is.

I don't know anything about you. I don't know anything about this place.

Jack!

Hello, Cooper.

Professor Bryant.

Explain to me how you found this facility.

Kind of by accident. We sort of stumbled upon it. We were on a salad run. You're

sitting in the best -kept secret in the world.

Nobody stumbles in here. Nobody stumbles out.

Cooper, please, cooperate with these people.

Look, it's kind of hard to explain.

We learned these coordinates from an anomaly.

What sort of anomaly?

I hesitate to term it supernatural, but it definitely wasn't scientific

initially. You're going to have to be specific, Mr. Cooper, right now.

Oh, it's gravity.

Well, what sort of gravitational longing? Where was it? Hey, you know,

happy that you're excited about gravity, bud, but you're not getting any answers

from us until I get assurances.

Assurances? Yeah.

Like that we're getting out of here, and I don't mean in the trunk of some car.

Don't you know who we are, Coop?

No, Professor, I don't. You know, my father, Professor Brand.

We're NASA.

NASA?

NASA.

The same NASA you flew for.

I heard they shut you down, sir. We're refusing to drop bombs from the

stratosphere on the starving people.

But when they realized that killing other people was not a long -term

then they needed us back, in secret.

Why secret?

Because public opinion wouldn't allow spending on space exploration.

Not when you're struggling to put food on the table.

Blight.

Wheat, seven years ago.

Okra, this year.

Now there's just corn.

And we're growing more than we ever have.

Well, but like the potatoes in Ireland and the wheat in the Dust Bowl, the corn

will die.

Soon.

We'll find a way, Professor. We always have.

Driven by the unshakable faith, the Earth is ours.

Well, not just ours, no.

But it is our own.

Earth's atmosphere is 80 % nitrogen. We don't even breathe nitrogen.

Blight does, and as it thrives, our air gets less and less oxygen.

The last people to starve will be the first to suffocate.

And your daughter's generation will be the last to survive on Earth.

Murph was feeling a little tired and was wondering if he could take a nap in my

office. Yeah.

Now you need to tell me what your plan is to save the

world.

We're not meant to save the world.

We're meant to leave it.

Rangers. The last components of our one versatile ship in orbit.

The Endurance, our final expedition.

You sent people out there looking for a new home?

The Lazarus missions.

That sounds cheerful.

Lazarus came back from the dead.

Sure, but he had to die in the first place.

There's not a planet in our solar system that can sustain life in the nearest

stars over a thousand years away. I mean, that doesn't even qualify as Utah.

Where'd you send it?

Cooper, I can't tell you anymore unless you agree to pilot this craft.

You're the best pilot we ever had. I barely left the stratosphere.

This team never left the simulator.

We need a pilot, and this is the mission that you were trained for.

Oh, without even knowing it?

An hour ago, you didn't even know I was alive. I mean, you were going anyway.

We had no choice.

But something sent you here.

They chose you?

Well, who's they?

How long have you gone?

Hard to know.

Years.

I've got kids, Professor.

Get out there and save them.

Who's they?

We started detecting gravitational anomalies almost 50 years ago. Mostly

distortions to our instruments in the upper atmosphere. In fact, I believe you

encountered one yourself.

Yeah, over the straits.

My crash, something tripped my fly -by wire.

Exactly.

But of all these anomalies, the most significant is this.

Out near Saturn, a disturbance of space -time.

Had a wormhole.

It appeared 48 years ago.

And it leads where?

Another galaxy.

A wormhole's not a naturally appearing phenomenon.

Someone placed it there.

They? And whoever they are, they appear to be looking out for us.

That wormhole lets us travel to other stars.

Came along right as we needed it.

They've put potentially habitable worlds right within our reach.

Twelve, in fact, from our initial probes. You're doing probes, isn't that?

Mm -hmm. We sent people into it ten years ago.

The Lazarus missions.

Twelve possible worlds, twelve ranger launches, carrying the bravest humans

to live, led by the remarkable Dr. Mann.

Each person's landing pod had enough life support for two years, but they

use hibernation to stretch that, making observations on organics over a decade

or more.

Their mission was to assess their world, and if it showed potential, then they

could send out a signal, bed down for the long nap, wait to be rescued.

And what if the world didn't show promise?

Hence the bravery.

You don't have the resources to visit all 12.

No.

Data transmission back through the wormhole is rudimentary. Simple binary

on an annual basis give us some clue as to which worlds have potential.

And one system shows promise.

One. That's a bit of a long shot, isn't it?

One system with three potential worlds.

A long shot.

Okay.

So if we find a home... Then what?

That's the long shot.

There's a plan A and a plan B.

Did you notice anything strange about the launch chamber?

This entire facility is essentially some kind of vehicle.

Space station? Plan A.

How do you get it off the ground?

The first gravitational anomalies changed everything.

Suddenly we knew that harnessing gravity was real.

So I started working on the theory and we started building this station.

But you haven't solved it yet.

That's why there's Plan B.

Problem, gravity. How to get a viable amount of human life off the planet.

This is one way.

Plan B, population bomb.

Over 5 ,000 fertilized eggs, weighing in at just under 900 kilos.

Well, how would you raise them?

With equipment on board, we incubate the first 10.

After that, with surrogacy, the growth becomes exponential.

Within 30 years, we could have a colony of hundreds.

The real difficulty with colonization is genetic diversity.

Let's take care of that.

Yeah, what about the people here? You just... You give up on them?

My kids?

That's why Plan A is a lot more fun.

How far have you got?

Almost there.

You're asking me to hang everything.

On an almost.

I'm asking you to trust me.

Find us a new home, and by the time you return, I will have solved the problem

of gravity.

I give you my word.

This world was never enough for you, was it, Coop?

What, because heading out there is what I feel like I was born to do?

And it excites me?

No, that does not make it wrong.

It might.

Don't trust the right thing done for the wrong reason.

The why of the thing, that's the foundation.

And the foundation's solid.

We farmers, we sit here every year when the rains fail and we say, next year.

Well, next year ain't gonna save us, nor the one after that.

This world's a treasure, Donald. It's been telling us to leave for a while

Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here.

Tom will be all right, but you gotta make things right with Murph.

I will.

Without making promises you don't know you can keep.

You have to talk to me, Murph.

I need to fix this before I go.

I'll keep it broken so you have to stay.

Your kids came along. Your mom, she said something to me I never quite

understood. She said, now, we're just here

to be memories for our kids.

I think I now understand what she meant.

Once you're a parent, you're the ghost of your children's future.

He's a ghost in the mirror.

That's right, Murph.

Murph, look at me.

I can't be your ghost right now.

I need to exist.

They chose me.

Murph, they chose me. You saw it. You're the one who led me to them.

That's exactly why you can't go.

I figured out the message.

One word.

Know what it is?

Day.

It says day, Dad.

Murph.

You don't believe me.

Look at the book. Look at this. It says day.

Why? You're not listening.

One for you, one for me.

When I'm up there in Hyper -C, or traveling near the speed of light, or

near a black hole,

time's going to change for me.

And it's going to run more slowly.

Now, when we get back, we're going to compare.

Time will run differently for us?

Yeah.

I mean, by the time I get back, we might even be there.

You and me.

What?

Imagine that.

Ah, Murph.

You have no idea when you're coming back.

No idea.

Don't make me leave like this.

Come on, Murph.

Don't make me leave like this, Murph.

I love you forever.

You hear me?

I love you forever.

And I'm coming back.

I'm coming back.

Gotta go.

That's fine.

That's fine.

Trouble safe, huh? Yeah.

You look after our place for me, all right?

All right?

Mm -hmm.

Hey, can I use your truck while you're gone?

What do you mean, your truck?

I'll make sure they bring it back.

Let's get after my kids now.

Go for it. Go for it. Main engine. Start. T -minus 10.

Thinks it relaxes us. A giant sarcastic robot.

What a great idea.

I have a cue light I can use when I'm joking, if you like.

That'd probably help.

Yeah, you can use it to find your way back into the ship after I blow you out

It's hard leaving everything, my kids, your father.

We're going to be spending a lot of time together.

We should learn to talk.

Emma, not to.

Just being honest.

I don't think you need to be that honest.

Hey, Taurus, what's your honesty parameter?

90%. 90 %?

Absolute honesty isn't always the most diplomatic, nor the safest form of

communication with emotional beings. Okay.

We are coming up on the Endurance. 12 minutes out.

Okay, taking control.

Approaching module port, 500 meters.

How are you Doyle?

Nice and easy Doyle, nice and easy.

I'm feeling good.

Well... Romilly?

Hey, you okay?

Yeah. You alright?

Yeah, I just need a minute.

Okay, I think we have some Dramamine in the hot pot. I'm just gonna go get that.

Might be in the cryo bay. I'll just be a sec.

Hey, Brian?

Yeah. A lot.

Amelia, be safe.

Give my regards to Dr. Mann.

I will, Dad.

It looks good for your trajectory. We've calculated two years to Saturn.

That's a lot of drama, me.

Look after my family, will you, please, sir?

We'll be waiting for you when you get back.

Little older, little wiser, but happy to see you.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Old age should burn and rave at close of day.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end, no dark is right.

Because their words had bought no lightning, they do not go gentle into

good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Here, pills.

So alone.

They have each other. Dr. Mann had it worse.

No, I mean them.

Perfect planet. We are not going to find another one like her.

No, it's not like looking for a new condo.

The human race is going to be adrift.

But for a rock, it can cling to you while it catches its breath.

We need to find that rock.

Our three prospects are at the edge of what might sustain human life.

Laura Miller's planet is first.

Laura started a biology program.

Mm -hmm.

Uh, Wolf Edmonds is here.

Tell me about Edmonds.

Oh, uh, Wolf's a particle physicist.

Uh, they've had families, huh?

No. No attachments.

My father insisted.

And they all knew the odds against ever seeing another human being again.

Hoping we can surprise at least three of them.

How about Mann?

Dr. Mann? Well, he's remarkable.

He's the best of us. He inspired 11 people to follow him on the loneliest

journey in human history.

Scientists, explorers. That's what I love.

You know, out there, we face great odds.

Death, but... Not evil.

You don't think nature can be evil?

No. Permittable. Frightening. But... No, not evil.

Was the line evil because it rips a gazelle to shreds?

That's what we take with us, Ann.

Yeah.

This crew represents the best of humanity.

Even me, huh?

You know what? We agreed, 90%. Okay.

Now stay up. I'll be there in a minute.

Oh, and just remember, Coop, you are literally wasting your breath.

Guitars? Let's go to that trajectory one more time.

Eight months to Mars.

Counter -orbital fling shot around. 14 months to Saturn. Nothing has changed on

that. Let me ask you something.

Dr. Brand and Edmonds. Why are you whispering? They can't hear you.

Dr. Brand and Edmonds.

They close?

I wouldn't know.

90 % wouldn't know or 10 % wouldn't know.

I also have a discretion setting, Cooper.

Not a poker face, man.

Hey, guys.

Dad's about to go down for the long nap, so I wanted to give you an update.

The earth looks amazing from here.

You can't see any of the dust.

I really hope you guys are doing great.

I know you're going to get this message. Professor Brands assured me that he's

going to get it to you.

Know that I love you.

Is it him?

I don't think so, Murph.

You must be Donald.

Hello, Murph.

Why are you in my dad's truck?

He wanted me to bring it for your brother.

He sent you a message.

She's pretty upset with him for leaving.

If you record any messages, I can get them transmitted to Cooper.

Murph is a bright spark.

Maybe I should fan the flame.

She's already making fools of her teachers.

So maybe she should come and make a fool out of you.

So where are they?

Heading for Mars.

The next time you hear from Cooper, they'll be coming up on Saturn.

They said I could start advanced agriculture a year early.

All right. You got to go, Dad.

I hope you're safe up there.

I'm sorry, Coop.

I asked Murph to say hi, but she's as stubborn as her old man.

I'll try again next time.

This gets to me, Cooper.

This. This.

Millimeters of aluminum.

That's it, and then nothing.

Out there for millions of miles.

Won't kill us in seconds.

You know that some of the finest solo yachtsmen in the world don't know how to

swim.

They don't know how. And if they go overboard, they're done.

We're explorers, right?

This is our boat.

It was in orbit around the wormhole. It was a wormhole, and every time we'd come

around, we would receive images from the other side of the foreign galaxy.

Like swinging a periscope around.

Exactly. So we've got a pretty good idea what we're going to find on the other

side, huh?

Navigationally.

Guys, looks like we'll be approaching the wormhole in about three hours.

Hey, Coop, can we stop the spinning?

Why?

Because we're close enough to see it now.

All right.

Check.

There, that's it. That's the wormhole. You say it don't spread here, huh?

It's a sphere.

Of course it is what you... You thought it would just be a hole.

No, it's just that...

Oh, the illustrations I've ever seen, eh?

Illustrations. Let me show you how it works.

So they say you want to go from here to there.

But it's too far, eh?

Mm -hmm.

So a wormhole bends space like this.

So you can take a shortcut through a higher dimension.

Okay, so to fill that, they've turned three -dimensional space into two

dimensions, which turns a wormhole into two dimensions, a circle.

What's a circle in three dimensions?

Sphere. Exactly.

Spherical hole.

But who put it there? Who do we have to thank?

I'm not thanking anybody until we get out of here in one piece, Ron.

Any trick to this, Doyle?

No one knows.

The others made it, right?

Are they some of them?

Everybody ready to say goodbye to our solar system?

To our galaxy.

Here we go.

Controls won't work here.

We'll pass it through the bulk.

Space beyond our three dimensions.

All you can do is record and observe.

What is that?

It's happening.

Distorting space time.

What was that?

The first handshake.

We're... We're here.

So a lot of communications came through.

How? The relay on this side cashed them.

The years of basic data, no real surprises.

Miller's side kept sending thumbs up, as has Dr. Mann's.

Edmunds went down three years ago.

Transmitter failure?

Maybe. He was sending the thumbs up right until it went dark.

But Miller still looks good, though, right?

Because she's coming up fast.

With one complication.

The planet is much closer to gargantua than we thought.

Gargantua. It's what we're calling the black hole. Miller's and Dr. Mann's

planet both orbit it. And Miller's is on the horizon?

Oh, it's a basketball around a hoop.

Landing there takes us dangerously close, and a black hole that big has a

gravitational pull.

Look, I could swing around that neutron star to detail it. No, no, no, not that.

Time. The gravity on that planet will slow our clock compared to Earth

drastically.

How bad?

Every hour we spend on that planet will be seven years back on Earth.

That's relativity, folks.

Well, we can just drop down there without Cooper.

We have a mission.

Yeah, Noah, we have a mission, and our mission in Plan A is to find a planet

that can habitate the people that are living on the Earth right now.

You can't just think about your family. Now, you have to think bigger than that,

all right? I am thinking about my family and millions of other families. Okay,

Plan A does not work if the people on Earth are dead by the time we pull it

No, it doesn't.

That's why there's a Plan B.

Okay.

Cooper's right. We need to think about time as a resource, just like oxygen and

food going down there is going to cost us.

Look, Dr. Mann's data is promising, right? But it's going to take us months

get there. And Edmund's, it's even further.

Now, Miller hasn't said much, but what she has said is very promising. It's

water, it's organic.

You don't buy that every day. No, you don't. And just think about the

including time that would be spent trying to get back here.

Romley. Yeah? How far off of Miller's planet do we have to be to stay out of

time shift?

Or just back from the cusp?

All right, which is here, just outside of Miller's planet.

Right. Okay.

Here's Gargantua.

Here's Miller's planet.

Instead of taking the Endurance into orbit around Miller's planet, which

conserve fuel, but we would lose a lot of time, what if we take a wider orbit

around Gargantua, parallel with Miller's planet, outside of this time shift to

here? And we take the Ranger down. We get Miller.

We get her samples. We come back. We analyze.

We debrief. We're in. We're out. We lose a little fuel, but we save a whole lot

of time.

That'll work.

That's good. There's not going to be time for monkey business or chitchat

there. So, TARS, you should definitely stay here.

Case, you're with me. Anyone else can stay. If we're talking about a couple of

years, I could use the time to research gravity.

Observations from the wormhole, that's gold to Professor Brown.

TARS factor in orbit of Gargantua. Conserve fuel.

Minimize thrusting.

But make sure we stay in range of Miller's planet. You got it?

I wouldn't leave you behind, Dr. Brand.

You ready, Kay?

Yep.

You don't say much, do you?

Thorough talk's plenty for both of us.

Detach.

Romney, are you reading these forces?

Unbelievable.

Literal heart of darkness.

We could just see the collapsed star inside.

Singularity. Yeah, we'd solve gravity.

We can't get anything from it. Nothing escapes that horizon.

Not even light.

Well, the answer's there. Just no way to see it.

Miss Miller's planet?

Goodbye, Ranger.

This is fast for atmospheric entry.

Should we use the thruster to slow?

No.

I'm going to use the ranger's aerodynamics to save some fuel.

Airbrake? We want to get down fast, don't we? Actually, we want to get there

one piece.

Hang on.

Brand, Doyle, get ready.

We should ease. The only time I ever went down was when the machine was

at the wrong time.

A little caution would go... It can get you killed, just like reckless driving.

I got this.

Should I disable the feedback?

No. I need to feel the air.

Here we go.

It's water.

Step of light.

1 ,200 meters.

We have a fix on the beacon.

Got it. Can you maneuver? I'm going to need to shape the speed.

I'm going to spiral down on top of it. Everybody hang on.

700.

On my cue, Dave. On my cue.

He's fishing.

What are you waiting for?

Let's go.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Seven years per hour here.

Make it count.

This way.

About 200 meters.

Gravity's punishing.

When floating through space too long?

130 % Earth gravity.

There's nothing here.

Should be right here.

There's a signal coming from here.

It could be them.

Wreck it.

Where's the rest?

The mountains.

Those aren't mountains.

They're waves.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

That one's moving away from us.

We need the recorder.

Fran Doyle, back to the ranger now.

We're not leaving without her data.

Get back here now.

We do not have time.

The second wave is coming. We're in the middle of a twelfth.

I got it.

Get your ass back to the ranger now.

Fran, get back here now.

No, Cooper, go. Cooper, go. I can't make it. Go.

Hey. Go get her.

Go! Get up. Get up, Rand.

Go, go, go.

I'm ready to make it.

Yes, you are.

Yes, you are.

Come on. Take that. Take that. Get back here, Doyle.

Go, go, go!

Leon!

What's the problem?

Two waterlogged. Let it drain.

God damn it! I told you to leave me. I told you to get your ass back here.

The difference is one of us was thinking about the mission, right? I was trying

to do the right thing.

Can you tell that to Doyle?

Case, how much time?

45 to an hour.

Yeah.

It's tough for life, huh?

What's this gonna cost us, Brandon?

A lot.

Decades.

What happened to Mellor?

Judging by the wreckage, she was broken up by a wave soon after impact.

How does a wreckage stay together after all these years, huh?

Because of the time slippage.

On this planet's time, she...

It just landed hours ago. She probably just died minutes ago.

The data Doyle received was just the initial status, echoing endlessly.

Oh, you're not prepared for this.

Yeah, I guess. You have the survival skills of a boy scout, true.

Well, we got this far in our brains, farther than any human in history.

Well, not far enough.

And now we're stuck here, till there won't be anyone left on Earth to save.

counting every minute, same as you, Cooper.

Is there any possibility?

I don't know.

Some clever way we could maybe jump in a black hole. It came back to years.

Don't shake your head at me.

Time is relative, okay?

It can stretch and it can squeeze, but it can't run backwards.

It just can't. The only thing that can move across dimensions like time is

gravity.

that led us here.

They communicate through gravity, right?

Yes. Could they be talking to us from the future?

Maybe. Okay. If they can.

They are beings of five dimensions, right? To them, time might be another

physical dimension.

To them, the past might be a canyon that they can climb into, and the future, a

mountain they can climb up. But to us, it's not, okay?

I'm sorry.

But you knew about relativity.

No.

My daughter

was ten years old.

Couldn't teach her Einstein's theories before I left.

Couldn't you have told her you were going to save the world?

No.

When you become a parent, one thing becomes really clear.

And I said, you want to make sure your children feel safe.

And it rolls out down a 10 -year -old. The world's ended.

Cooper?

How long for the engine, K?

A minute or two.

We don't have it.

How much on?

Brandt, Copot, you're up. K? Blow the cabin oxygen through the main thrusters.

We're going to spark it. Roger that. Locked! Secretarizing!

Engines up!

I've waited years.

How many years?

By now, it must be... It's 23 years.

Four months, A .D.

Doyle?

I thought I was prepared. I knew. It's a theory.

And Miller.

There's nothing here for us.

Why didn't you sleep?

Oh, I had a couple of stretches.

I stopped believing you were coming back.

Something seemed wrong about dreaming my life for me.

I learned what I could from the black hole.

But I couldn't send anything your father.

We've been receiving, but nothing gets out.

Is he alive?

Oh, yeah.

We've got years of messages stored.

Cobra.

Messages span 23 years.

Play it from the beginning.

Hey, Dad.

Check it in. Say hi.

Um... Finished checking in school.

Charlie's still giving me C, so... Pulled me down, but I think it's not

Grandpa attended the ceremony.

Um... Oh.

I met another girl, Dad.

I, uh... I really think this is the one.

Name's Loveth.

Start right there.

Murphy still grabbed his car.

He crashed. But she's okay, though.

Hey, Dad.

Look at this.

Your grandpa.

His name's Jesse.

I kind of wanted to call him Coop, but Louis says maybe next time.

The doll says he's already earned a great part, so he just leaves it at

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

Say bye -bye, Grandpa.

My grandpa's okay.

Sorry it's been a while.

What with Jesse and all.

Grandpa died last week.

We buried him out in the back 40 next to Mom and Jesse.

Which is where we would have buried you if you'd ever...

Marv was there at the funeral, and we don't see her that much, but she came

that.

You aren't listening to this. I know that.

All these messages are just drifting out there in the

darkness.

Lois says that I have to let you go.

And so, I guess,

I'll let you go.

Wherever you are, Ted.

I hope that you're at peace.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Mark.

You son of a bitch.

I never made one of these when you were still responding because I was so mad at

you for leaving.

And then when you went quiet, it seemed like I should live with that decision,

and I have.

But today is my birthday.

And it's a special one because you told me...

You once told me that when you came back

we might be the same age.

And today I'm the age you were when you left.

It would be a real good time for you to come back.

I didn't mean to intrude.

It's just that I've never seen you in here before.

I've never been in here before.

I talk to Amelia all the time.

It helps.

I'm glad you've started. I haven't. I just had something I needed to get out.

I know they're still out.

I know.

There are so many reasons their communications might not be getting

I know, Professor.

I'm not sure what I'm more afraid of.

Them never coming back or coming back to find we've failed.

Then let's succeed.

So, back to the fourth iteration.

Let's run it through some new fields.

With respect, Professor, we've tried that hundreds of times. It only has to

once more.

Every rivet that they strike could have been a bullet.

We've done well, the world here.

Whether or not we crack the equation before I kick the bucket.

Don't be morbid, Professor.

I'm not afraid of death.

I'm an old physicist.

I'm afraid of time.

You're afraid of time.

For years, we've been trying to solve the equation without changing the

underlying assumption about time.

And? And I mean, each iteration is an attempt to prove its own proof.

It's recursive. It's nonsensical.

Are you calling my life's work nonsense, Murph?

No, I'm saying that you've been trying to finish it with one arm. No, with both

arms tied behind your back.

And I don't understand why.

I'm an old man, Mo.

Can we take this point up at another time?

I want to talk to my daughter.

Stepping out into the universe, we must confront the reality of interstellar

travel. We must reach far beyond our own lifespans.

We must think not of you, but of me.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Tars kept the endurance right where we needed her, but the trip took years

longer than we anticipated.

We no longer have the fuel to visit both prospects, so we have to choose.

But how?

They're both promising.

Edmund's letter is better, but Dr. Mann is the one still transmitting.

We've no reason to suspect Edmund's data would have soured.

His world has key elements to sustain human life.

As does Dr. Mann's. Cooper, this is my field.

And... I really believe Edmund's is the better prospect.

Why?

For Gantua. That's why.

Look at Miller's planet.

Hydrocarbons, organics, yes.

But no life.

Sterile.

I'll find the same thing on Mann's.

Because of the black hole.

Murphy's Law.

Whatever can happen will happen.

Accident is the first building block of evolution, but when you're orbiting a

black hole, not enough can happen. It sucks in asteroids and comets, other

events which would otherwise reach you. We need to go further afield.

You once said that Dr. Mann was the best of us.

He's remarkable, and we're only here because of him.

And yet here he is.

He's on the ground, and he's sending a very unambiguous message telling us to

come to his planet.

Granted, but Edmund's data is more promising.

We should vote.

Well, if we're going to vote, there's something you should know.

Rand, he has a right to know.

That has nothing to do with it.

What does?

She's in love with Wolf Edmunds. Is that true?

That makes me want to follow my heart.

But maybe we've spent too long trying to figure all this out with theory.

You're a scientist, Bran.

So listen to me when I say that love isn't something we invented. It's

observable. It's powerful.

It has to mean something.

Love has meaning. Yes. Social utility, social bonding, child rearing. We love

people who have died.

Where's the social utility in that?

None. Maybe it means something more, something we can't yet understand.

Maybe it's some evidence, some artifact of a higher dimension

that we can't consciously perceive.

I'm... drawn across the universe to someone I haven't seen in a decade, who

know is probably dead.

Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of

time and space.

Maybe we should trust that, even if we can't understand it yet.

All right, Cooper.

Yes.

The tiniest possibility of seeing Wolf again excites me.

That doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Honestly, Amelia, it... it might.

TARS, chart a course for Dr. Mann.

I'm going to lose about a third again.

Next year... Next year I'm going to work Nelson's farm and I'll make it up.

What happened to Nelson?

Murph, have you eaten enough? Would you like some more souffle?

Oh, no.

I'm full, thanks. It's delicious.

Could you finish your fritter, please?

Will you spend the night?

Your room is exactly as you left it. It's ready to get back. I need to get

My sewing machine is in there, but there's plenty of... I need to...

Too many memories.

Well, you might have something for that.

Thank you.

The dust.

Lois, I have a friend who...

Good look at his lungs.

Amelia, I'm sorry.

You were just being objective.

Unless you're punishing me for screwing up on Miller's planet.

No, this wasn't a personal decision.

No? If you're wrong, you will have a very personal decision to make.

Your fuel calculations are based on a return journey.

Strike out on man's planet and we'll have to decide whether to return home or

push on to Edmunds with plan B. Starting a colony could save us from extinction.

You might have to decide between seeing your children again and the future of

the human race.

It has to be a suggestion.

He's been asking for you since he came to.

We were trying to reach you.

I'm here, Professor.

No,

you got us so far.

Real close.

I'll finish what you started.

Good, good.

You heard.

Faith.

All those years.

All those years.

I asked you to have faith.

I wanted you to believe that your father

would come back.

I do, Professor.

Forgive me, but...

There's nothing to forgive.

There

was

no need for you to come back.

There's no way to help us.

The planet.

All this.

All these people.

Equation.

Did my father know?

Did he leave me?

No. No.

You can't leave.

No.

Dr. Brand, I'm sorry to tell you that your father died today.

He had no pain.

He was at peace.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Brent, did you know?

He told you, right?

You knew.

This was all a sham.

You got this here.

A star.

broken plan.

Pray you never learn just how good it can be to see another face.

I hadn't a lot of hope to begin with, but after so long, I had none.

My supplies were completely exhausted.

The last time I went to sleep, I didn't even set a waking date.

You have literally raised me from the dead.

Lazarus.

What about the others?

I'm afraid you're it, sir.

So far, surely.

No, in our present situation, there's very little chance of rescuing any

Dr. Mann.

Dr. Mann, tell us about your world.

Our world, we hope.

Our world is cold, stark, but undeniably

beautiful.

The days are 67 hours long, cold.

The nights are 67 far colder hours.

The gravity is a very, very pleasant 80 % of the Earth.

Now, up here where I landed, the water is alkali, and the air has too much

ammonia in it to breathe for more than just a few minutes. But down at the

surface, and there is surface, the chlorine dissipates.

The ammonia gives way to crystalline hydrocarbon, breathable air, to

possibly even to life.

We might be sharing this world.

These readings are from the surface.

Over the years, I've dropped various probes.

How far have you explored?

I've mounted several major expeditions, but with oxygen and limited supply, Kip

there really did most of the legwork.

What went wrong with him, sir?

Degeneration. He misidentified the first organics we found as ammonia crystals.

We struggled on for a time, but ultimately I decommissioned him and used

power source to keep the mission going.

I thought I was alone before I shut him down.

Would you like me to look at him?

No, no. He needs a human touch.

Dr. Brand, Kate is relaying a message for you from the comment station.

Okay, be right there.

Dr.

Brand, I'm sorry to tell you that your father died today.

He had no pain.

He was at peace.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Is that Murph?

She's... She's grown.

Bran, did you know?

He told you, right?

You knew.

This was all a sham.

He left us here.

To starve?

Did my father know too?

Dad?

I just want to know.

If you left me here to die.

I just have to know.

Go for it.

My father dedicated his whole life to Plan A. I have no idea what she's

about.

I do.

He never even helped to get people off the Earth.

No.

But he's been trying to solve the gravity equation for 40 years.

Amelia, your father solved his equation before I even left.

Then why wouldn't he use it? The equation couldn't reconcile relativity

quantum mechanics.

You need more. More?

More what?

More data. You need to see into a black hole.

The laws of nature prohibit a naked singularity. Probably is that true.

If a black hole is an oyster, then the singularity is the pearl inside.

The gravity is so strong, it's always hidden in darkness, behind the horizon.

That's why we call it a black hole.

Okay, but if we see beyond the horizon, we can't cope.

There are some things that aren't meant to be known.

Your father had to find another way to save the human race from extinction.

B, a colony.

Why not tell people?

Why keep building those damn stations? Because he knew how hard it would be to

get people to work together to save the species instead of themselves or their

children.

You never would have come here unless you believed you were going to save

Evolution has yet to transcend that simple barrier. We can care deeply,

selflessly, about those we know. But that empathy rarely extends beyond our

of sight.

But the lie.

The monstrous lie.

Unforgivable. And he knew that.

He was prepared to destroy his own humanity.

In order to save the species, he made an incredible sacrifice.

No.

No, an incredible sacrifice is being made. But the people on Earth, they're

going to die.

Because in his arrogance, he declared their case hopeless.

I'm sorry, Cooper.

Their case is hopeless now.

No. We are the future.

Cooper, what can I do?

Let me go home.

You're absolutely positive.

His solution was correct. He had it for years.

It's worthless.

It's half the answer.

Okay.

How do you find the other half?

Out there, a black hole.

Stuck down here on Earth.

Yeah.

I'm not sure you can.

God, we just pack up and leave.

What are they hoping to find?

Survival.

Dammit.

Mer, don't... Don't people have a right to know?

Panic won't help.

We just have to keep working, same as ever.

Yeah, but isn't that exactly what Professor Brand was manipulating us to

Brand gave up on us.

I'm still trying to solve this.

So... Do you have an idea?

A feeling.

I told you about my ghost.

My dad thought I called it a ghost because I was scared of it.

But I was never scared of it.

I called it a ghost because it felt...

Trying to tell me something.

If there's an answer here on Earth, it's back there.

Somehow in that room.

So I have to find it.

I'm running out of time.

What about auxiliary oxygen scrubbers?

I think it's okay.

I'll be sitting most of the way anyway.

Hey, Coop. Yeah?

I have a suggestion for your return journey.

Have one last crack at the black hole.

I'm going home, huh?

Yeah, I know.

It isn't going to cost you any time.

It's a chance for the people on Earth.

Talk to me. Gargantua is an older spinning black hole.

It's what we call a gentle singularity.

Gentle? They're hardly gentle.

The tidal gravity is so quick that something crossing the horizon fast

survive. A probe, say.

What happens after it crosses?

After the horizon is a complete mystery.

So, what to say, there is in some way that the probe can glimpse the

and relay the quantum data.

If he's equipped to transmit every form of energy that compulse. Kip, when did

this probe become a he, Professor?

Tarth is the obvious candidate.

I've already told him what to look for. I need the old optical transmitter off

Kip, Rupert. He did as far as...

Before you get all teary, try to remember that as a robot, I have to do

you say.

Your key light's broken.

I'm not joking.

I'm going to need TARS to remove an adaption component from Kip.

Well, I don't want to disturb his archival function.

I'll supervise.

All right.

Dr. Mann, we need to find three secure sites.

One for Brand's lab, two for Habitat. Now, once those modules have landed, you

don't want to move them. Well, I could take you to the probe sites, but I don't

think this...

These conditions are going to hold. I think we should wait.

Case is headed back down with the rest of the distillery equipment.

I'd really like to secure those sites by nightfall.

Well, these squalls do usually blow over.

Okay, then.

But you're going to need a long -range transmitter. Got it. Are you charged?

Yeah.

Follow me.

Cars, 72 hours, yeah?

Roger that, Cooper.

Brand told me why you feel you have to go back.

I'd be remiss if I didn't at least mention that a mission such as ours

certainly use an extra engineer.

You better slow down, Terrible.

Safety first, Case, remember.

Safety first, Cooper.

I have to tell you, Dr. Mann, I'm honored to be a part of this.

But once we set up base camp...

Secure those modules. My work's done here.

I'm going home.

You have attachments.

Even without a family, I can promise you that that yearning to be with other

people is powerful.

That emotion is at the foundation of what makes us human. Not to be taken

lightly.

How long have you had that cough?

A while.

Mom, let's be playing here.

I don't have your stuff.

Just take this gently.

You know why we couldn't just send machines on these missions, don't you,

Cooper? A machine doesn't improvise well because you can't program a fear of

death.

Our survival instinct is our single greatest source of inspiration.

Take you, for example.

A father with a survival instinct that extends to your kids.

What does research tell us is the last thing you're going to see before you

Your children.

Their faces.

At the moment of death, your mind's going to push a little bit harder to

survive.

For them.

Deep breath.

Hey, I bet you're cool. Why don't you have a seat here for me?

It's bad. They cannot stay here.

Okay?

Tarz, what's taking so long?

Professor, I am having trouble completing the boot -up.

I don't understand.

It's funny.

When I left Earth, I thought I was prepared to die.

The truth is, I never really...

considered the possibility that my planet wasn't the one.

Nothing worked out the way it was supposed to.

Let's go.

Alright,

hey buddy, why don't you give me a big deep breath?

What is this?

What are you doing? I'm sorry!

I can't let you leave with that ship.

We're going to need it to complete the mission.

Once the others realize what this place isn't, we cannot survive here.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

No!

They can't stay here anymore. You have to leave.

Right now.

Okay, let me make something abundantly clear. You have a responsibility.

Eat it.

Coop, get her stuff. She's going home.

Dad didn't raise you to be this dumb, Tom.

Dad didn't raise me. Grandpa did, and he's buried out back with Mom and Gypsy.

You faked all the data.

Yes.

There's no surface.

No.

I tried to do my duty, Cooper, but I knew the day that I arrived here that...

This place had nothing.

And I resisted the temptation for years.

But I knew that if I just pressed that button, somebody would come

and save me.

Hey, fucking guys.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Listen, if you're not going to go, let your family go. Just save your

family.

We'll go live underground with you. Pray that Daddy comes to save us. Dad's not

coming back. He never was coming back.

It's up to me. You're going to save everybody.

His dad couldn't do it. Dad didn't even try!

Dad just abandoned us!

He left us here to die.

Nobody's going with you.

You gonna wait for your next kid to die?

You can keep my stuff.

Stop it!

No. No!

If you're mad, there's a 50 -50 case you're gonna kill yourself!

Those are the best thoughts I've had in years.

Don't judge me, Cooper.

You were never tested like I was.

Human habit.

You tried your best, Mark.

You're feeling it, aren't you?

It's survival instinct.

That's what rules me.

It's what drives all of us. And it's what's going to save us.

Because I'm going to save all of us. For you, Cooper.

I'm sorry. I can't watch you go through this. I'm sorry.

I thought I could.

But I can't.

I'm here.

I'm here for you.

Just listen to my voice, Cooper.

I'm right here.

You're not alone.

Do you see your

children?

It's okay.

They're right there with you.

Did Professor Brandt tell you that poem before you left?

Do you remember?

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Old age should burn and rave at close of day.

Rage, rage against the dying of night.

I know, yeah.

Cooper! Cooper, we're coming!

Hey! I have a speech.

Go! Go, go, go! And away!

Cooper, we're coming. Hang in there. Don't talk.

Try to breathe as little as possible.

We're almost there.

There's a security lockout, sir. It requires a person to act at function.

It's all yours, sir.

Try not to breathe.

We're coming. We're coming. We're coming right back. Come on.

We've got to go faster. We've got to go faster. Faster. Faster. Faster.

Hang in there. Come on.

I see him.

I see him. I see him.

Bank. Bank right.

This data makes no sense.

I'm sorry.

What? Man, who's lying?

Go. Go.

Romulan.

Romilly, Romilly, do you read me? This is Brand.

Romilly! Dr. Brand, Cooper, there's been an explosion.

Dr. Mann, come in.

Let me know what charge the board

I'll

take it from here. We have a fix on the range. He's pushing into orbit.

He takes control that shit. We're dead

He doesn't know the endurance docking procedure.

No, the autopilot does.

Not since TARS disabled it.

Nice. What's your trust setting, TARS? Lower than yours, apparently.

Auto docking sequence withheld.

Override. Unauthorized.

Override.

Unauthorized.

Do not attempt docking. I repeat, do not attempt docking. Please respond.

Moving slowly toward the endurance.

Imperfect contact.

Override.

Is he locked on yet?

Imperfectly.

Dr. Mann, do not...

Hatch lockout disengaged.

Dr. Mann, do not, I repeat, do not open the hatch.

I repeat, do not open the hatch. If you open the hatch, the airlock will

depressurize.

What happens if you blow his earlock?

Nothing good.

Okay, pull back, pull back. Retro thrusters, everything we've got, Kate.

at full. Back!

Kate, relay my transmission to the onboard computer and have it rebroadcast

emergency PA.

Dr. May... Open the inner hatch. I repeat, do not open the inner hatch.

I repeat, do not... Friends?

But I am taking command of the Endurance.

And then we can talk about completing the mission.

Dr. Mann, listen to me.

This is not about my life.

Or Cooper's life. This is about all mankind.

There is a moment.

It is not...

Cooper, there's no point in using our fuel to... Analyze the endurance of

Cooper, what are you doing?

Docking.

Endurance rotation at 67, 68 RPM.

Okay, get ready to match our spin with the retro thrusters.

It's not possible.

No, it's necessary.

The endurance is hitting stratosphere.

He's got no heat field.

Pace, you ready?

Ready.

Cooper, this is no time for caution.

Pace, if I black out, you take a stick.

Star? Get ready to engage the docking mechanism.

The turrets are starting to heat.

Twenty feet out.

I need three degrees starboard, Cooper.

Ten feet out.

Cooper, we are lined up.

Initiating spin.

Come on, Tard!

Come on, Tard!

We are locked! Locked! Easing out!

Retro thrusters.

Main engine's on.

Pushing out of orbit.

Come on, baby.

Killing main engine.

Okay, we're out of orbit.

Okay.

And for our next trick... You don't have to be good.

We're heading into Gargantua's pool.

Oh, shit.

Okay, take the stick.

Roger that.

Shall I use main engines?

No.

Well, let us fly as far as we can.

Give it to me.

Good news is bad news, Cooper.

I've heard the hell it's hard.

Give it to me straight.

The backup generator kicked in. The system's stable. They're all good. Good.

Okay.

The navigational halberd's been completely destroyed.

We don't have enough flight support to make it back to Earth, but I think we

scratch our way to Adamant's planet.

What about fuel?

Not enough.

But I have a plan.

We let Gargantua pull us down close to our horizon in a powered slingshot

around, launching us towards Adamant's planet.

Manually? That's what I'm here for.

I'm going to take a test inside the critical orbit.

What about the time slippage?

Neither one of us have time to worry about relativity right now, Dr. Brandt.

I'm sorry, Cooper.

Once we've gathered enough speed around Gargantua, we use Lander 1 and Ranger

2 as rocket boosters to push us out of the black hole of gravity.

have to control manually.

Once land or one is spent, TARS will detach and get sucked right into that

hole.

Why does TARS have to detach?

Oh, we have to shed the weight to escape the gravity.

Newton's third law.

The only way humans have ever figured out of getting somewhere is to leave

something behind.

Cooper, you can't ask TARS to do this for us.

He's a robot.

See, I don't have to ask him to do anything.

We thought you broke up a little bit there.

It's what we intended, Dr. Brand.

It's our only chance to save people on Earth. If I can find a way to transmit

the quantum data I'll find in there, they might still make it.

Let's hope that there's someone there to save.

Maximum velocity achieved.

Prepare to fire escape thrusters.

Ready? Ready.

Ready. Main engine ignition in three, two, one.

Mark.

Lender one engine. On my mark.

Three. Two.

Detach!

Goodbye, Tars.

Goodbye, Dr. Brent. See you on the other side, Coop.

See you there, Slick!

Okay, Case.

Nice reckless flying.

Learned from the master.

Ranger 2, prepare to detach.

What? No! No!

Cooper! Cooper, what are you doing?

Newton's third law.

You've got to leave something behind.

You told me we had enough reasons for both of us. We agreed, Amelia.

Ninety percent.

Approaching the event horizon.

Portside, dipping down beneath it.

Going through it.

It's all black.

TARS, do you read me?

It's all black.

TARS, do you read me? Over.

Any interference?

I'm losing control of the stick. I've got flashes.

Flashes of lightness and blackness.

Ah, turbulence in the gravity.

Increasing.

Ah, computer's going down.

Gravitational form losing control of stick.

He's dead.

He's dead.

He's dead.

First...

Ha ha!

If you're leaving, just go.

No, no.

No, don't go. Don't go, you idiot.

Don't go!

Morse. Morse.

Come on, Murph.

Murph. Murph, come on.

Make him stay, Murph.

Make him stay, Murph.

Don't let me leave, Murph.

Don't let me leave, Murph.

it was you

you

were

my ghost

We survived.

Somewhere in their fifth dimension, they saved us.

Well, what the hell is they?

And that's why they want to help us, huh?

I don't know, but they constructed this three -dimensional space inside their

five -dimensional reality to allow you to understand it. Well, that ain't

working.

Yes, it is.

You've seen that time is represented here as a physical dimension.

You have worked out that you can exert a force across space -time.

Gravity.

To send a message.

Affirmative.

Gravity can cross the dimensions, including time.

Apparently.

Do you have the quantum data?

Roger, I have it.

I am transmitting and on all wavelengths, but nothing is getting out,

I can do this. I can do this.

That's such complicated data. To a child.

Not just any child.

What else?

Oh, come on, Dad.

Murph, the fire's out! Come on!

Even if you communicate it here, she won't understand its significance for

years.

I get that, Tars.

All right, but we've got to figure something out, all right? The people on

are going to die. Think, think, think.

Cooper, they didn't bring us here to change the past.

Say that again.

They didn't bring us here to change the past.

They didn't bring us here at all.

We brought ourselves.

TARS could be the coordinates for NASA in binary.

In binary. Roger. Feeding data.

It's gravity.

Don't you get it yet, TARS?

I brought myself here.

We're here to communicate with the three -dimensional world.

We're the bridge.

I thought they chose me.

They didn't choose me, they chose her.

For what, Cooper?

To save the world.

All of this is one little girl's bedroom.

Every moment is infinitely complex. They have access to infinite time and space,

but they're not bound by anything.

They can't find a specific place in time.

They can't communicate.

That's why I'm here.

I'm going to find a way to tell Murph just like I found this moment. How?

Love, Targe, love.

Just like Granddad.

My connection with Murph, it is quantifiable. It's the key.

What are we here to do?

Find out, tell her.

The watch.

The watch.

That's it.

We code the data into the movement of the second hand.

Translate the data into Morse and feed it to me.

Translating data into Morse? Cooper, what if she never came back for it?

She will.

She will.

Murph, I can see a car!

He's coming, Murph!

Okay. I'm coming down.

How do you know?

Because I gave it to her.

It's traditional.

Did it work?

I think it might have.

How do you know?

Because the bulk beams are closing the tesseract.

They're not beings.

They're us.

What I've been doing for Earth, they're doing for me.

For all of us.

Cooper, people couldn't build this.

No. No, not yet.

But one day.

Not you and me, but a people.

A civilization that's evolved past the four dimensions we know.

Mr. Cooper.

Let's take it slow, sir.

Nice and easy, Mr. Cooper.

Remember, you're no spring chicken anymore.

Actually, you are 124 years old.

Take it slow, sir.

You were extremely lucky.

The Rangers found you with only minutes left in your oxygen supply.

Where am I?

Cooper Station.

Currently orbiting Saturn.

Nice of you to name it after me.

What? Well, the station isn't named after you, sir. It's named after your

daughter. Although she's always maintained just how important you were.

Is she still alive?

She'll be here in a couple weeks.

She is far too old to be transferring from another station, but when she heard

that you'd been found... Well, this is Murphy Cooper we're talking about.

Yes, it is.

We'll have you checked out of here in a couple days.

I'm sure you'll be excited to see what's in store.

I actually did a paper on you in high school. I know all about your life back

Earth.

Oh, yeah.

Right.

If you follow me, you've got a really good situation.

So, when I made my suggestion to Miss Cooper, I was delighted to hear that she

thought it was perfect.

And, of course, I didn't speak to her

personally.

Well,

mine, it was a farmer, like everybody else back then.

I mean, it just wasn't enough.

She did confirm just how much she loved farming.

Oh, she did, did she?

Oh, yeah, the machine we found out under Saturn when we found you. Yes.

It's at a power source for shop, but we could get you another one if you want

to. Yes.

Please.

You want 55?

Is this really what it was like?

I was never this clean, Slick.

I don't care much for this pretending we're back where we started.

I want to know where we are.

Where we're going.

Mr. Cooper, the family's all in there.

Family? Yeah, they all came out to see her. She's been in cryo -sleep for

two years.

You told him I like farming.

It was me, Murph.

I was your ghost.

I know.

People didn't believe me. They thought that I was doing it all myself.

But... I knew who it was.

Nobody believed me.

But I knew you'd come back.

How?

Because my dad promised me.

Amir never.

Amir.

No.

No parent should have to watch their own child die.

I have my kids here for me now.

You go.

She's out there.

Setting up camp.

alone in a strange galaxy.

Maybe right now she's settling in for the long nap.

By the light of our new sun.

In our new home.
