So you turned back! 473 01:07:35,453 --> 01:07:37,955 - We did not turn back. - Why? 474 01:07:38,038 --> 01:07:40,958 Why? Why? 475 01:07:41,041 --> 01:07:45,878 I'm sending Ross home. You won't get any more out of him today. 476 01:07:45,962 --> 01:07:49,131 The interrogation leaves us with two possibilities. 477 01:07:49,214 --> 01:07:53,759 One - Ross aborted the mission and turned back. 478 01:07:53,843 --> 01:07:57,304 If that was the case, he'd deny it for obvious reasons. 479 01:07:57,388 --> 01:08:03,727 Two - Ross genuinely believes he made the journey to the new planet 480 01:08:03,810 --> 01:08:09,773 and is as surprised as we are that when he landed he found himself back on Earth. 481 01:08:09,857 --> 01:08:13,526 This is the theory I prefer to believe. 482 01:08:13,609 --> 01:08:15,695 Only one snag. 483 01:08:16,821 --> 01:08:21,408 Why was there no sign of life on his electronic survey? 484 01:08:21,491 --> 01:08:23,577 Well, that could be explained. 485 01:08:23,660 --> 01:08:27,079 Their orbit took them over the Pacific, Atlantic and the poles. 486 01:08:27,163 --> 01:08:29,707 The land they crossed is mainly uninhabited. 487 01:08:29,789 --> 01:08:33,376 All right. So we prefer the second theory. 488 01:08:33,460 --> 01:08:38,422 But three weeks to the planet, three weeks back. That's six weeks in all. 489 01:08:38,505 --> 01:08:42,050 - They were only away three weeks. - That's right. 490 01:08:42,133 --> 01:08:46,888 So they turned back. It still doesn't make sense. 491 01:08:46,971 --> 01:08:51,600 The world's most experienced astronaut and a leading scientist. 492 01:08:51,683 --> 01:08:53,769 Why? 493 01:08:55,770 --> 01:08:58,773 The Council felt railroaded into this from the start. 494 01:08:58,856 --> 01:09:01,399 They'll turn like a pack of wolves now it's failed. 495 01:09:01,483 --> 01:09:06,320 They don't know yet. And they won't know until I establish exactly what happened. 496 01:09:06,403 --> 01:09:10,574 You can't do that without the flight recorder. And that's still on the Phoenix. 497 01:09:10,658 --> 01:09:13,701 Arrangements have been made to bring that back. 498 01:09:13,785 --> 01:09:15,995 When is Poulson due back from the States? 499 01:09:16,079 --> 01:09:19,915 - Not till the 17th. - Thank God for that. 500 01:09:27,463 --> 01:09:30,298 - Was it rough? - Yeah. 501 01:09:31,966 --> 01:09:34,135 Glenn, what really happened? 502 01:09:34,219 --> 01:09:36,845 What do you mean? 503 01:09:36,929 --> 01:09:41,225 - What made you turn back? - We didn't turn back. 504 01:09:42,517 --> 01:09:46,396 - Then it doesn't make sense. - Right. 505 01:09:50,732 --> 01:09:53,402 You're covering for John Kane, aren't you? 506 01:09:53,485 --> 01:09:56,737 No, there's nothing to cover for. 507 01:09:56,946 --> 01:09:59,365 Look out! 508 01:10:00,448 --> 01:10:04,995 - What the hell are you doing? - He was on the wrong side of the road. 509 01:10:10,499 --> 01:10:13,668 It must have been rough. 510 01:10:19,506 --> 01:10:21,675 I'll go make some coffee. 511 01:11:04,085 --> 01:11:07,296 Sharon, what's going on? 512 01:11:07,379 --> 01:11:09,256 - Sharon? - What is it? 513 01:11:09,340 --> 01:11:11,967 You know damn well what it is. This room. 514 01:11:12,051 --> 01:11:16,846 - What about the room? - It's changed. What the hell happened? 515 01:11:35,362 --> 01:11:39,406 Some disorientation isn't unusual after a protracted period in space. 516 01:11:39,490 --> 01:11:43,952 I understand that, but it's never happened on any previous space flights. 517 01:11:44,035 --> 01:11:47,747 Keep me informed. If things get worse, I promise immediate action. 518 01:12:35,620 --> 01:12:38,080 What is it? 519 01:12:58,347 --> 01:13:01,766 - What's wrong? - The writing is reversed. 520 01:13:06,313 --> 01:13:08,480 Everything is reversed. 521 01:13:28,706 --> 01:13:29,915 Jason Webb, please. 522 01:13:39,048 --> 01:13:41,592 Jason, this is urgent.
