CAPTAIN KEYNES: The signal
was coded and sent at 02:10,

mean standard, Saturday,
October 5, of last year.

It was received and logged
at 03:18 that same day.

And the signal was logged as?

I'm sorry.

The priority
rating of the signal.

Priority EM13.

That was the flash report.

The incident report was
subrated medical request EM15.

Rated 1-3 1-5.

So this was urgent.

Yes.

MARKHAM: And when the
officer of the day brought

you the message...

I ordered us offline at
03:36 and memoed Biochem.

They had about half the stuff...

the medication on board...

and could synthesize
the rest by the time

we reached our launch window.

And would you tell us exactly
the nature of the medication?

Altanine, a recombinant
viral vaccine.

They needed 63 units and
a load of antibiotics

to help hold down
the fungal growth.

Fungus?

There were fungus
problems on LC10?

Yes.

Fungus problems
similar to those

experienced three years ago
in the J Group mining system?

Yes.

MARKHAM: And would you like
to remind us of the outcome

of that epidemic?

Many men died.

Where are you taking me?

Deck 6 is impassible
at the center line.

Too much condensation again.

This is the wrong way.

It's a shortcut.

We'll cut through D hold.

D hold?

D hold's full of tourists.

No, it's not, not any more.

They moved 900 head out
of there this morning

because of the condensation.

D hold's going to
be completely empty.

[talking]

Empty?
That's good, Mitch.

Great.
Great idea.

I thought it was
going to be empty.

Excuse us.

Look at this.

They're shunning water again.

Tell me, why can't they just
blow it into outer space?

They got to recycle it.

Oh, yeah, hey, they
got to recycle it

so they can give it
back to these people

to drink and relieve themselves
of it all over again.

Yeah, well,
better them than me.

- Do you ever drink bush water?
- Course not.

I work for a living.

Oh, look at this.
Hello.

Excuse us.

Let's... let's go the other way.

Let's go back.
- No, no, no.

My drop's in a half an hour.

That gives you plenty of
time to change your mind.

Mitch, it's not a
voluntary drop, OK?

Regulation section
79, sub three...

all emergency missions
considered mandatory at

the discretion of the captain.
- I know.

I know.

So develop some
sudden disability.

I'm going.

Hey, you know
where you're going.

You're going to
LC10, mining colony.

You know what?

It's frozen hell there.

There's no relief
shift for eight months.

You're going to sit
around with nothing to do.

One word, Mitch...
captain's orders.

You know what, John,
you're a lemming... a lemming.

That is what you are, John.

MAN: You know, Lieutenant.
I know, Lieutenant.

Excuse me, we're having a
private conversation here.

MAN: Yeah, whatever.

I think we need a little
revolution around here,

you know?

I mean, why do we always have
to go right where they point?

Mitch, it's a rescue mission.

It's high profile.

When I get back, I'm
getting a promotion.

You can count on it.

I'm going to outrank you.

If the captain hadn't given
me this, I'd have begged him.

Uh-huh, well, I think
begging's against regulations.

Only if you grovel.

At 03:43, I logged in orders
to the navigational officer,

and sent a maintenance crew
down to the flight deck,

instructed my flight
commander to send in EDS.

An EDS is a...

Emergency dispatch ship.

They're lightweight one-way
vehicles, disposable.

Computer does most
of the flying.

My ship carries 10 of them.

I sent a human down to tell a
pilot to pick up his orders.

And he was?

CAPTAIN KEYNES: The pilot?
- Yes, sir.

Barton, John
Barton. skip loader

pilot, second lieutenant.

MARKHAM: Good pilot?

I thought so.

Hmm.

Barton transferred
to the Saratoga

two and a half years ago.

File says he owns
some options, was part

of our profit sharing plan.

Did he want this mission?

Yes, definitely.

MARKHAM: Why?

I think because it would look
good on a resume, would weigh

in heavily at promotion time.

And until the
time in question,

you considered Barton
a good officer.

Absolutely.

MARKHAM: Why?

Because he followed orders.

[talking]

Aw, I can't believe they
make people live in here.

It's the price they pay
to get where they're going.

You know, somebody's got to
pay for better ventilation.

You could always ask
them to stop breathing.

What door do we need?

Well, the one all
the way down there.

Come on, we got to
change your clothes.

These are brand new boots.

Uh.

I calculated fuel consumption
on your regular weight

and, whoa, what have
you been eating?

Soy meal, same as you.

And you're one to talk.

Yeah, well, I'm the one
who has to fly the kite,

and I know you pretty well.

Unbelievable.

Mitch, it's my reader.

It's 2 pounds.
It's regulation.

What do you think, they give
you this paper flight suit

because it makes you look good?

You were probably sick
that day at flight school.

But there's this
whole thing about, you

know, enough fuel to get to
the planet, no excess weight...

Gardner, take this
to my quarters.

What am I supposed to read
down there for eight months?

I don't know.

You wanted the gig... suffer.

I want that thing back.

No, you're not
going to get it back.

When did you learn
how to read, anyway?

Much better.

See?

OK.

Coordinates are set, and you
got 17 minutes to jump out.

So take care of yourself.

I want it back.

Oh, Yeah.

Eight months... dream about me.

[music playing]

EDS 34 G11, I need a
confirm on this test.

Well, that goes for EDS.

You are clean and green for
item one, so check it down.

JOHN: OK, I have
inertial guidance.

Right.

I have a primary computer.

MITCH: Right.

I have backup computer,
and I'm enslaving

ignition sequence now.

OK, that goes forward.

We're taking our
feet from the bridge.

Buddy, you've got 11
seconds to jump out,

so I'm going to swing out your
item two, that is item beta.

And I'm going to give you
a mark here at 7, 6, 5,

autoignition engage.

I turn on your pretty lights,
and don't forget to write.

Whoa.

Saratoga, I have guidance break.

Repeat... IG break...

Hey, we got a problem.

...reads, uh...

I can't see the numbers, Mitch.

John, hold on.

Um, John, switch your
computer over to auto-IGS.

All right, that's better.

I have pitch stabilized
at 93 mark 4%.

Uh, what was that, Mitch?

I have no idea.

Somebody must have sneezed
on your [inaudible]..

Should I reset?

MITCH: No, no, you're fine.

We're tracking you good.

You didn't burn up any fuel.

I'm very sorry for your tumble.

JOHN: Forward that.

I'm going to run a diagnostic.

Big Sara, you copy?

MITCH: Yeah, come back, 10.

I've got a funny here...

telemetry error,
comp alert ID 319er.

That's impossible.

JOHN: What does it mean?

MITCH: It means
you're too heavy,

but I checked that
payload myself.

Hey, maybe you got a lurky.

You know, prep could
have left a vacuum

cleaner or something on board.

JOHN: You think?

This flight crew?

Yeah, I think.

Uh, why don't you
go find it, and boot

it, and get back to me, OK?

[dramatic music]

OK.

OK, you got me.

Hi.

- Come out of there.
- What?

Get out!
Get out!

All right.
All right.

You're not going to
arrest me, are you?

I mean, I'm willing to
pay the fine or whatever.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I guess it's obvious.

I'm catching a ride.

You can't.

Well, whatever.

We're going to have to
make the best of it.

Saratoga, I have a problem.

MITCH: Yeah, John, come back.

My name's Lee.

I have a situation.

MITCH: What kind of situation?

Is it going to be a long trip?

A stowaway.

What did you say?

JOHN: I have a stowaway.

She's a colonist, a girl.

I don't know how she...

Mitch, what do I do?

I have no idea.

JOHN: I think you ought to
get a flash report upstairs.

I'm burning fuel out here.

Yeah.

Yeah, that goes forward.

CREW MEMBER: Yes, sir.

I need bridgecon stat.

Never mind, I'm going
to go do it myself.

So what are you going to do?

Ask for help.

Don't be stupid.

They're not going to help.

You're kind of stuck with me.

Stupid.

I'm stupid?

You have no idea
what's happening.

Yes, I do.

I'm here, and it's
against the rules,

and don't be such a pain.

I said I'd pay the fine.

There is no fine.

It's more serious than that.

Look, I'm not scared of you.

You think I care
about your orders?

I'm NC cargo.

Nothing is worse than that.

What are you doing here?

You're kidding, right?

I mean, I saw you on
the ship, so I know

you saw where I had to live.

Do I need more of a reason
to get out of there?

Yeah, you do.
I'm going to LC 10.

It's a mining colony,
worst pit on the frontier.

Nobody wants to go.

Yeah?

Well, I do.

Why?

My brother's there.

I got to see him.

Well, prepare to
be disappointed.

We're not going.

Wait, what do you
mean, not going?

Just what I said.

This ship can't go to
LC 10 with you on board.

What, they won't let us land?

No, we can't land.

Your weight wasn't figured
in when we launched.

If we try to land,
we'll run out of fuel

and burn up in the atmosphere.

I am not going back.

You can't go back.

We don't have the fuel.

It's what we call a
fundamental design constraint.

We could die out here.

Well, what are
you going to do?

Going to I ask for help.

MITCH: EDS 34 G11.

- Hey, wait.
- It's me.

Hey, buddy.

Listen, we got us a
situation here... you know,

a firestorm of proper channels.

Every suit in the ship
is standing in a circle,

calculating trajectory,
duel, time loss.

Well, Mitch, get them out
of this conference mode, OK?

This thing only gets
worse by the minute.

Buddy, you don't
have to tell me.

Listen the captain's going to
come down here and talk to you

himself.

He is?

MITCH: Yeah.

Give me the girl's
name and ID number.

Hey, let go!

Let go!

8-5-2-2-7-Zulu-Zulu-tango.

Marilyn Lee Cross.

My name is Lee!

All right.

All right, sit tight.

I'll call you when
the captain gets here.

JOHN: Over.

So why are they keeping
us hanging out here?

I mean, what's there to discuss?
- Protocol.

Proper channels.

You said we
could die out here.

JOHN: Yeah.

Well, call him back.

Tell him to get with it.

Hey, there's procedure, OK?

You spent your life on Earth.

You wouldn't know.

But out here, a misstep
can get somebody killed.

Yeah, and that's us
if they don't hurry up.

Look, dropping a freighter
back into black space

is a big deal.

You have to take
an engine offline.

It's dangerous.

Well, I am really,
really sorry,

but let's get on with it, OK?

Because it's not like
they got a choice.

It's expensive.

MITCH: EDS John.

Hey, uh, buddy, I'm going
to put the captain on.

Listen, we've got
to do this formally.

I'm sorry.

That's OK.

LEE: What?

What's he saying?

OK, I'm spooling the disk.

Lieutenant Barton, do you
consent to this recording

as an official
transcription of orders

issued pursuant to corporate
regulations section 41,

subsection 1 beta?

Yes, I do.

MITCH: John, we received
your distress call at 07:03.

Is that when you first
noticed your passenger?

JOHN: Uh, approximately
one minute before that.

OK.

At 07:02, that's when you
noticed the passenger.

Mitch, I recommend we cut
through the papers here.

I'm burning gas out of here.

Tell him to hurry up.

MITCH: John, everyone's
aware of the situation

up here, all right?

I just need you to calm down.

Don't make any waves.

- What does that mean?
- Let me just...

Let me just put the captain on.

Lieutenant Barton, I
want to say for the record,

I feel very badly
about all this.

We've made every effort
to salvage your situation.

Thank you, sir.

I've consulted the engineers,
the flight director, and

the board of representatives.

But I'm afraid there
are no options.

Sir?

Your orders are to make
the necessary adjustments,

and complete your drop.

Complete my drop, sir?
How?

CAPTAIN KEYNES: You
are to normalize

your weight differential.

I don't understand.

What don't you understand?

How can I complete
my drop, sir?

CAPTAIN KEYNES:
Listen, John, it's

a bad situation
all the way around,

but I can't change
the laws of physics.

You're going to have
to put the girl off.

[dramatic music]

She's still alive, sir.

I'm not sure that was clear.

I know that.

Yes, I'm sorry.

But there are no
practicable options.

We have solid legal precedent.

You will not be liable.

But sir, in this
extreme situation,

couldn't you come back for us?

CAPTAIN KEYNES:
It's not an option.

I have a schedule to maintain.

The girl brought
this on herself.

It's a bad situation.

I understand that.

But sir, maybe there's another
ship in the vicinity or...

CAPTAIN KEYNES: No, it's
the first thing we checked.

Don't you think we checked it?

Now listen, Barton.

I've issued you your orders.

I feel very badly.

We all do.

But you are to correct
the anomaly by 07:24.

Reserved fuel will be sufficient
if you are within the weight

envelope by that time.

You have eleven minutes, son.

Do you understand and agree to
follow the orders with which

you have been charged?

Barton?

Lieutenant Barton?

Yes, I do.

Confirmed.

Logged 07:13, 5 October.

So when's the company
coming to get us?

They're not.

What?

He said I have to
put the girl off.

What?

Put me off?

Yeah.

So I'm supposed to float out
there in some kind of suit,

right?

I mean, until someone
comes and picks me up.

There is no suit.

No, no, wait.

Wait, if you make me
leave the ship, I'll die.

I know.

So... so you're saying
you're just going to put

me off the ship with no suit?

Like this?

Naked?

You're just going
to toss me away?

It's not like that.

They'd come back for
us if they could.

There's just no choice.

Oh my God.

You want to do it.

I don't.

Look at what you're doing.

JOHN: You did this to yourself.

This is why the flight
deck is restricted,

why NC isn't allowed, why
there are signs, keep out.

All I did was go somewhere
I wasn't supposed to.

I didn't hurt anybody.

Look, try not to think about...

let's just...

What are you doing?

Don't make this hard.

Trying to get the execution
over with as soon as possible?

It's not my decision.

No, but you're going
to carry it out, right?

I have to.

Do you really think I'm
just going to walk off?

Huh?

You're acting like there
is nothing out there,

like I'm going out
the door to grandma's.

But there is nothing out
there... no light, no air.

You can't pretend that...

You still don't understand.

No, I understand,
but I don't accept it.

They say this.

You say that.

And I'm supposed to
smile and say, oh, I see.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Well, I don't see.

And I'm not going
to let you kill me,

because that's what it is.

You're standing there
hoping to murder me.

There's nothing I can do.

No, no, no, no, no.

You listen to me.

I am not worthless, and
I am not going in there.

So you're going
to have to kill me

first or drag me
kicking and screaming,

because I'm not going in there.

Saratoga, this is EDS 34 G11.

Hey, John, how you doing?

JOHN: Mitch, look, I want
you to give me access to...

There was some bad
business out there, buddy,

but don't worry about.

Nobody up here blames you.

It's not your fault.
Just put it behind you.

Make your drop.

Mitch, I want you
to give me access

to your guidance computer.

MITCH: What for?

I want to
calculate my reserve,

cut back on my deceleration,
burn for as long as I can.

Clear the deck.

You didn't do yet, did you?

Look, I'm going to...

it's going to get done.

John, that was a direct
order they gave you.

You got to do it.

They're going to think that
your disobeying the order.

Mitch, OK.

I just need time.

We have to do what
they tell us to do.

I feel bad for this girl.
I do.

I feel bad for her.

You're not the one
out here looking at her.

No, and I'm not
going to pay the price.

Now, they will cut us
both down because of this.

I just want to
recalculate my entry vector.

The captain gave
you a direct order.

I... what are you thinking?

You cannot override
your guidance

program without authorization.

You know that.

Just log me onto the
Sara's computer, will you?

MITCH: No.

I'm not asking you
to break any rules.

MITCH: No, you're asking me
to help you break the rules.

It's the same thing.

I can do it on my own box.

MITCH: The onboard computer's
not configured to do that.

Then give me the access!

I will not.

Fine, I'm reconfiguring.
MITCH: John, don't do that.

What do you think about this?

They're going to tag
you with this for life.

John.

John.

What are you doing to do?

I'm going to try to help you.

Damn.

What?

I have to disable
the safeties.

Well, is that bad?

Considering the safeties
make sure we can't crash, yeah.

What... what... what...

what did you do?

I'm... I'm... I'm lighter.

Am I lighter?

I cut back the engines.

It should give
you a little time.

- I think I'm going to be sick.
- Toilet's that way.

Take a left.

LEE: [vomiting]

You all right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Damn it.

You do know what
you're doing, right?

Do you want to try?

No.

OK.

I'm going to use up
the reserve fuel.

Gonna run the engines
on low while you're

on board to save gas.

Run him up to the top
just before I land.

That should give you a
little time, not much.

40 minutes.

- 40 minutes?
- Best I can do.

That's it.
- 40 minutes?

What is that?

I thought you were
going to help me.

There's only so much I can do.

We're outside the
weight envelope.

I've done the math.

I can't make the
lines come together.

Yeah, and I'm NC,
hardly worth saving.

I mean, why even try, right?

I have tried,
but I have orders,

and I bent them too far already.

I told you already, I
don't care about your orders.

Would you go if they told you?

Hmm?

Would you salute them, and thank
them for a wonderful career,

and just walk right off?

This isn't about me.

You hate us, same
as everybody else.

I don't like you.

As a group, you mill around
with no ambition to get

up out of your own filth.

But that's not the point.

I'm on a medical supply mission.

What about the
people on the planet?

They need this drug.

You do not know what it is
like to be out of options.

We're not so different.

I couldn't always see
I had anywhere to go.

Don't you ever
compare me to you.

I am not going to let you do it.

I'm not going to
let you push me off.

Then we both die.

So that's it, hmm?

You resigned yourself
to murdering me.

I would do
something if I could.

Would you?

Yes.

Then you think.

You think.

Something, anything.

Damn it.

So say something.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to
recut our course,

figure out a better route,
maybe save enough fuel to...

So what's it telling you?

Not much.

This computer's not
designed to plot guidance.

Well... is... is that good?

No, it's not.

This is not going to work.

Let me try something else.

Uh.

Maybe it'll tell us how
overweighted we are.

OK.

That's you.

I have to put in your weight.

Did you ever do algebra?

Yeah.

OK, well, you're x.

All right.

Ship runs out of fuel here,
accelerates towards the planet,

hits the surface here.

No good.

OK, that said, it looks like
we're 46.31 grams too heavy,

about 101 pounds.

Well, that's
less than I weigh.

It's 'cause I'm
using the reserve.

And if I weighed less still,
say... say... say 50 pounds,

I could stay longer, right?

Well, yeah.

But I can't weigh less, at
least not significantly less.

No, you'd have to...

So there has to be
something else on the ship

that we can dump to
lighten it, besides me.

There is nothing.

This ship is mainly
spun plastic.

They build them cheap; recycle
the controls, the air lock;

leave the rest
wherever it lands.

It's disposable, one trip.

Mhm.

So what's your cargo?

What is it?

Medical supplies.

How do you know?

I was told.

Yeah?

Well, let's find out.

Don't touch it.

Things got to weigh
as much as me, easy.

No.

What?

You can't move it?

I can't dump it.

Why, what is it?

I don't know.

It's so important
I have to die,

and you don't know what it is?

It doesn't matter.

I think it does.

I think if it's not
important, we can dump it,

and they can send more.

You don't know that.

They don't send an EDS
when people have the flu.

They send it when
people are going to die.

Whatever it is, it's needed.

End of story.

Yeah?

Well, let's take
a look, shall we?

Don't touch it.

Don't touch it.

Get back.
Stop.

Let go.

Stop it!
All right.

All right.
Stop it!

You stay there.

I'll look.

Go ahead.

Look.

Altaniasis, OK?

That's J fever.

I knew a guy who
worked in the J mines.

He died of it.

You hear me?

It's fatal.

[dramatic music]

Get off.
Get off.

Let go.

No, I'm not going
to let you touch it.

You can say I overpowered you.

I knocked you out.

It's going out the door.

No, you cannot put other
people's lives in danger.

Pull out.

Ah!

Uh.

Ugh.

Ugh.

Aw.

[coughing]

No.
Stop.

Please.

I'm not going to stop.

No.
Don't.

Get up.

I'll help you, OK?

If we find anything
else, we can toss it out.

But we can't touch the medicine.

Oh, that's heavy.

Oh, I guess every bit counts.

This isn't going to work.

I want you to understand that.

There's no way I can take
100 pounds out of here.

Hey.

You're just trying shut me up,
keep me quiet till it's time,

till you can get a drop on me.

What is it with you?

I'm doing the best I can.

I want to be sure
you're going to try.

What do you want me to do?

Well, you can find
something heavy.

Whatever possessed you to get
on this ship in the first place?

You ever try living for
five months in a septic tank

with 600 other people,
eating next to them,

breathing next to them,
sleeping next to them,

watching them get sick, have
babies, fall apart, and die?

It is no better down there.

Maybe not, but
I won't be alone.

You weren't alone
on the Saratoga,

so that's not why
you stowed away.

I told you why.

I wanted to see my
brother, Adrian.

I was living in that cesspool.

And miracle of miracles,
you were taking a ship,

and you were going my way.

I just figured I'd come
along for the ride.

How did you get on board?

Saratoga's an
old ship, infested.

You got NC-like rats in
crawlways you've never seen...

ducts, ventilation shafts.

They never leave the ship.

So you found a shaft,
and crawled through,

and stowed away.

Uh-huh.

All this just to
see your brother?

Yeah.

Why couldn't you have picked
something less dangerous?

Because I couldn't.

I mean, it's not like I
knew this would happen.

Hey, what was that?

That was our stuff hitting
the door on the way out.

So how much did we lose?

- About 35 pounds.
- How much time?

Looks like 57, 58...

looks like they give us a
little less than an hour.

OK, so every 40
pounds is an hour.

Looks like.

Well, we get two more loads
like that and we're there.

Listen.

What?

The sound... you don't hear it?

Well, sure, I hear it.

You don't have to put
your ear up to the...

No.

No, not that sound.

There's another one
in the background.

Like whispering, like
a pulse, almost as

if it were a living thing.

Living?

Yeah, but it's different now.

Different after you
changed the engines.

Different after we
threw the stuff out.

But somehow it's still the
same, like a person yelling,

whispering, a little out
of breath maybe, but still

with a distinct voice.

Come here.

Listen.

No,

Thanks.

Come on.

I mean, you don't know
I'm wrong unless you try.

Come here.

Put your ear right
up against it.

Nothing.

Haven't you ever thought
that objects respond to you?

You know, just a little.

No.

Keep listening.

Let it happen.

Stop thinking.

Obviously, I already have.

See, I told you.

I told you so.

Hey, what is that?

What is what?

The wall.

What are the walls lined with?

Insulation.

It's a polymer.

It's light.

Even if we took it off,
it wouldn't weigh enough.

You know that for sure?

If we took the insulation
out of the whole ship,

it wouldn't weigh 10 pounds.

So just stand
there, and watch.

You said you were going to help
me, and all you do is argue.

You want me to die.

I can accept that.

I don't want you to die.

Have you ever
thought about it?

About what it's like to
kill another human being?

No.

You know, you
could've put me out

when you talked to your captain.

I thought maybe if had some
time, you might accept things.

So much for acceptance.

Ah, damn it!

Ow.

I'm... I'm sorry I keep
fighting with you.

It's OK.

Tell me something?

What?

Anything.

Anything about you.

I thought this mission
would get me a promotion.

Why would you think that?

Oh, you know,
straight and narrow,

service above and beyond...
that sort of thing.

Story of your life, isn't it?

Not my whole life.

When I was 15, I hopped
a shuttle to Mars.

Really?

You stowed away?

I hid in a shipment of beer.

They didn't find me for a week.

Well, what happened?

They sent me home
on the next ship.

My parents paid a huge fine.

My father... my father said
I was on my own after that.

He figured he'd
done his bit, paid

all the bills he was going to.

Said having a kid didn't mean he
had to pay the freight forever.

I learned to
respect regulations.

You know, my whole life I've...

I've done everything wrong, but
this is the first time I ever

really got myself in trouble.

Are you scared?

No, not anymore.

I mean, I know I'm scared,
but I don't feel scared.

I guess it's the nature
of the human mind...

denial, you know?

I mean, I think if I really
thought I was going to die,

I'd just pee all over my feet.

You know what my
brother used to tell me?

Every choice you make is the
right one, no matter what.

Every door you open
has possibilities.

Every crisis is an opportunity.

You can't take any
wrong turns in life.

I wonder what he'd
say about this.

No.

No.

I've seen you.

I've seen you all.

You do the quartermaster
for a blanket.

You do the mess chief
for extra rations.

I never did that.

I never let anybody touch me.

Guys I work with, they
go down to the cargo decks.

They do things, not me.

I didn't do this because
I want anything from you.

You think you're going
to get me to toss my cargo

and my career aside for that?

No.

No.

You smug son of a bitch.

You think you know
everything, don't you?

I don't want anything from you.

I'd rather go out the damn door.

This is it.

That's absolutely all there is.

So you can't say that I didn't...

uh...

You too.

- Looks like 16 pounds.
- Well, that's almost 60.

That's just over
50, not even a half.

Well, you didn't
think we'd get this far.

We just got to keep going.

See, I'm good at
making things work.

Now, the next thing
we should do...

You still don't
understand, do you?

You don't understand.

There is nothing left.
Look.

Look.

We've got less than
an hour, and there

is nothing left to throw out.

Why do you keep doing this?

I'm sorry.

[laughing]

What?

What is it?

What's so funny?

You all right?

I'm OK.

I'm OK.

I was... I was thinking
about a really funny story.

Do you want to hear it?

I guess.

OK.

So the pope is on a
state trip, right?

And his chauffeur
is driving him.

And the pope leans
forward to the chauffeur.

And he says, do you
mind if I drive?

The chauffeur says, no,
because it's the pope.

So he... the... the... the
chauffeur lets the pope drive.

And... and he's... he's
taking corners on two wheels

and flying through stop signs.

And sure enough, he gets
pulled over by a cop.

And he says, did I do
something wrong, officer?

And, uh, the cop says,
excuse me, your eminence.

I mean, it's the pope, right?

So the cop freaks.

So he goes back to the
dispatcher, and he says,

what do I do?

I just pulled over
someone really important.

And the dispatcher says,
well, how important?

And he says, well, you
know, important important.

And the dispatcher says,
well, is it the mayor?

And he goes, no, more
important than that.

And the dispatcher says,
what, is it the governor?

And he says, no, more
important than that.

He goes, well... well, who is it?

And... and the cop says...

I'm not exactly sure,
but the pope is his driver.

Oh.

I've heard it.

ALL: [laughter]

Oh my god.

Yeah, you know, I think I...

[dramatic music]

ALL: [grunting]

I'm sorry, but I'm not
the one going out that door.

[gasping] [coughing]

John.

John, John, John.

Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.

John, no.

No.

No!

No!

I need to talk to my brother!

You got to let me
call my brother!

You got... call my brother!

You have to let me
call my brother!

[crying]

No!

John.

John.

You let me out of here.

John, you got to
let me out of here.

Son of a bitch.

You don't have an hour.

I'm going to let you
call your brother.

But I'm not going
to turn my back.

And if you twitch, I'll
kill you and toss you out.

OK.

I swear I will.

I promise, John.

Do not promise!

I don't believe a word you say.

Get out.

Get out!

Could you help me?

Get out.

Ow.

- Sit there.
- I'll stand.

Sit!

Hailing ground
station LC 10, this

is Echo Delta Sierra, 34 G11.

Do you copy?

[yawning]

JOHN: Hailing ground
station LC 10,

this is Echo Delta Sierra,
34 G11, do you copy?

Come in, EDS 34 G11.

This is ground control 039.

Do you copy?

That goes forward.

Ground station, can you please...

Signal is weak.

You're going to have to
wait a minute till you're

completely in range.

What happened?

Sit down.

Sit.

What happened?

We're not completely
in range yet.

Well, will I be
able to talk to him?

You just wait a second?

OK, try it now.

Just wait.

- OK, now.
- What's his name?

Did you tell me his name?

Adrian.

EDS 34G11 hailing
ground station LC 10.

Do you copy?

We got you EDS.

Uh, ground station, I need
to talk to an Adrian Cross.

Satellite tracking
shows you off course

by vector heading 34 mark 8.

Please, can you
get me Adrian Cross?

Oh, sure.

You know, he's out by
the pool, having a drink.

Do you want me to
send a bellboy?

It's an emergency.
GROUND CONTROLLER: All right.

All right.
Just a second.

Cross.

Cross.

Oh, he's out surveying with a
team near the Sea of Despair.

It's not on my chart.

It's the single
advantage of this job.

We get to name things.

Look, tell him to get
to any transmit point

and call me ASAP.

GROUND CONTROLLER:
That goes forward,

but I don't know if he's
going to make it back in time.

Sun's setting.

We're going to become
dark in a while.

Well, it's an emergency,
so get somebody on it.

Yeah, they're doing it.

Now, we've got your new drop
window in about three hours,

but you're going to
overshoot the pad.

It's going to take us
a day to get to you.

Yeah, I've had
guidance problems.

I had to scrub my
original IG program.

Listen, how long
can you hold out?

Oh, we're OK.

If you're having
problems, we can delay.

Do you want to wait?

No, I can't do that.

I'll call you later
with drop numbers,

but I need to talk to Cross.

GROUND CONTROLLER:
We'll be in contact.

Over.

So what, they can't
transmit after sunset?

It's the rotation
of the planet.

The base goes over the horizon.
We can't hear them.

They can't hear us.

Uh, it's almost
dark in their area.

Looks like about two hours,
so I wouldn't worry about it.

That's more time than you have.

Nice.

Can't we just, um...

No, we can't.

And don't ask me
for anything else.

I'm not going to help you.

So what am I supposed to do?

JOHN: You wait quietly
until he calls.

And whether he calls or not,
at 9:25, it's goodnight, Irene.

Charming

JOHN: You're welcome.

[somber music playing]

LEE: John?

How much time?

25 minutes.

Go back to the bunk.

You'll hear it when he calls.

LEE: If he calls.

You'll hear.

Can we please talk?

I mean, I... I can't
just sit there waiting.

You know, it's like I have
this clock ticking in my head.

I don't want to talk.

I have nothing to say to you.

You tried to kill me.

Well, now you
know how it feels.

I'm sorry.

I mean, I know you
don't care, but I am.

JOHN: Fine.

I never tried to
kill anybody before.

Me neither.

I guess it's sort of
funny if you think about it.

You think that was funny?

Well, it was original.

I mean, my whole life I've
made the same mistakes

over and over.

You know, I just repeat them.

A lot of people do.

My mom, she just got married.

She just got married
for the fourth time.

This guy... Russell.

My dad's been married twice.

Minute I saw him, I knew
she was going to marry him.

How'd you know that?

His eyes.

Her first husband, the
one she really loved,

he died before I was born.

But his eyes, they were, uh...

they were pink.

Pink?

Yeah.

Well, not the pupils.

They were brown.

But the white around it
was pink, bright pink,

bloodshot, like, all the time.

And then later, all her
husbands had the same pink eyes,

same big clumsy bones.

He was kind of scary.

Why?

Truthfully, made me
think I was fated from

birth to marry a pink-eyed man.

'Cause you know what,
I'm just like my mom.

We're the same as two squirrels.

Every time I think
of her sleeping

next to that awful man, I
just want to scream, you know?

Would you say something?

You're just trying
to get to know me

so I feel bad when I have to...

Do you want to
feel good about it?

No.

So go ahead.

I don't know what to say.

Anything.

Is there very much in
your life you regret?

What, you mean like
getting on this ship?

No, I mean, like,
things you did and...

you knew what you were
doing when you did them,

and you knew why.

And you thought you
were right, but later

you wish you hadn't done them.

Maybe because you
learned something

or just because you find you
think differently later on.

I wish I'd taken
better care of my teeth.

[chuckling] I have eight
fillings, eight fillings.

I hate my smile.

When I lived in
Cincinnati, I...

I found a wallet
on the street once.

Had ID and everything inside.

Belonged to a fellow who
lived in my building.

Saw him in the elevator
almost every day.

Almost every day I saw
him in the elevator.

I knew him.

But I kept the wallet.

No, I threw the wallet away.

I kept the money.

It was only $71.

So what happened?

Well, I felt sorry.

So what did you do?

I started using the stairs.

[chuckling]

[laughing]

[chuckling]

[laughing]

Hey, what is that?

There's something out there.

Are we this far already?

What is it?

Heliopause.

We're passing through gases
from the edge of the LC system.

Kind of like a solar wind.

The static from the
ship makes it glow.

Huh.

It's pretty.

You know, up until
now, my whole life

has been getting ready to live.

I always said to
myself, after I do this,

that's when I'll start to live.

A lot of people
think that way.

I know I do.

But you can't divide things
in half forever, can you?

I mean, how many people can
say they're alive right now?

I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know either.

I've seen pictures of
people who died in space.

What happens to a person's
body when they go out there?

Your lungs will decompress.

The oxygen will want to
go out to fill the vacuum.

The absence of pressure
will cause your blood

to, uh, sort of boil.

And the cold will freeze
it solid at the same time.

It won't last longer
than a split second.

I don't think it
will be painful.

Promise me something.

When I go out there, don't
look through that window.

Don't look at me,
no matter what.

[crashing sound]

What was that?

Nothing.

We've used up the oxygen
in the first tank.

It's just shunting over to the...

Lieutenant, at this
point, had Barton

tried to contact the Saratoga
to get approval for any of this?

The stripping of the insulation?

The jettisoning of
various parts of the ship?

No, he hadn't.

MARKHAM: What was the next piece
of information you received?

The EDS was still
feeding us drop numbers.

Lieutenant Barton
had... had disconnected

his own communication.

But there was an automatic feed
link to the flight recorder

and big Sara, which is
a computer on our ship

that displays thrust numbers,
bearing, fuel consumption,

stuff like that.

At 09:16, we received the comp
alert that there was an oxygen

system malfunction on the EDS.

And was this in fact the case?

Yes and no.

We found out later,
Barton himself

made the system malfunction.

Why would he do that?

MITCH: He was attempting
to jettison an O2 tank.

He needed it pressurized
to remove it from the ship.

But the computer will not
release a pressurized tank,

so he had to hot-wire it.

Mhm.

And, uh, how would he do that?

Well, sir, I have no idea.

I imagine that he
would have looked

at the electrical
schematic in his computer.

Mhm.

Lieutenant, why do
you think Barton

failed to contact the Saratoga?

He must've needed
help, technical advice.

He was insulating himself.

Perhaps he was, uh, trying
to minimize his infractions.

Well, had you threatened him?

Pushed him away?

Led him to believe
he was on his own?

No, I was working with him.

So you're telling us
you were cooperating...

No...

MARKHAM: ...helping
him break regulations.

No, sir.

You have understand, at
this point, Barton and I,

we were friends.

I didn't want to see him
throw away his career.

I was guiding him.
I was helping him.

I was trying to get him to
follow his standing order.

I see.

Let's go back to
the malfunction.

How would jettisoning
an O2 tank help Barton?

Just like everything
else he was doing,

it would buy him some time.

K. In the back, there
should be a gray junction box.

You see it?

No.

JOHN: Should be eight wires
and black in the center.

OK, I got it.

JOHN: All right,
we're going to have

to cross-connect that circuit.

Can you reach it?

Nope.

JOHN: Well, you have to.

Well, give me a boost.

[spark]
- Ow!

Ow!

What's wrong?

Aw, I got shocked.
JOHN: Well, be careful.

There are a live
terminals up there.

Yeah, no kidding.

Thanks for the tip.

[spark]
- Ow!

Damn!

- I said, be careful.
- Shut up.

I am being careful.

OK.

OK, I got it.

OK, good.

Now, one of the
input wires is red.

Do you see it?

Yeah.

JOHN: It's connected
in two spots?

LEE: Yeah, I see it.
I see it.

Good.

You have to pull that out and
hook it in with the yellow

and the orange.

OK.

OK.

OK, wait.

Hold on.

Let me get to the screen.

All right, I have
to vent the tank.

Then you bypass the
sensor, all right?

It has to be draining
when we release it,

or it's not going anywhere.

I'll tell you when.

OK, the tank is about 200 psi
takes maybe 15 seconds for it

to drain.

That means you have less
than that to rig the thing.

So be ready with that wire.

I'm ready.

What do you think I'm
going to do, drop it?

[dramatic music]

OK, do it now.

[spark]

Aw!

Damn, thing's hot!

Oh, no.

It didn't work.
What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Just a second.

JOHN: Hurry up!

The pressure's dropping.

We got to make
the computer think

it's zero before it is zero!

Hurry up!

Come on.
Come on.

Come on!

We're losing it!

Come on!

If we don't drop it now, it's
never going to get dropped!

Come on!

What are you doing?
What are you doing?

Come on!

[dramatic music]

[spark]

Ow!

You did it!

You did it!

15 pounds.

That's 15 pounds.

Thank god.

Thank god.

Thank god.

Ow!

God!

Would you get me the
hell out of here?

JOHN: OK, you get your choice.

Beef and broccoli, macaroni
and cheese, or meat loaf.

I'm not hungry.

Well, give it a try.

Well, I'm a vegetarian.

Macaroni and cheese it is.

I'm not eating it.

Look, I'm hungry, and I
don't want to eat alone.

So just try it, will you?

Fine.

Hey, it heats up.

Yeah, you're supposed to mix
it with water first, but we...

we dumped the water, so...

[chuckling] Look.

Lovely.

[chuckling] It's good.

You didn't say it was good.

Well, the food they
gave you on the Saratoga

must have been awful.

Oh my god.

You wouldn't believe it.

Hey, how much does this weigh?

Less than a pound.

Eat up.

It's getting cold in here.

No insulation.

Don't worry though.

It'll heat up plenty when
we enter the atmosphere.

Can you, uh...

can you turn the heat up?

Well, it's on.

Well, it doesn't feel like it.

What?

This thing must weigh
at least 50 pounds.

EDS 34G11 going out on y band.

Mitch, do you read me?

Hey, you really
screwed us, buddy.

Mitch, can I remove
the heat exchanger?

MITCH: What?
- The climate control.

Just tell me.

John, why didn't you
just boot the girl?

JOHN: Why do you think?

Barton, you got to...

Mitch, look, I don't have
the structural schematics

on my box.

I need you to look
them up for me.

No, I'm not going to do it.

If I access the files, it'll
show up on the computer log.

You know that.

They'll accuse me
of breaking orders.

But you're the one who
wanted to buck the system,

a little revolution, remember?

Here's your chance.

What you're asking me
to do is not revolution.

You are asking for mutiny.

It's not mutiny.

As long as I complete my
drop, it's a minor infraction.

Minor?

Do you have any idea what's
been going on up here?

The captain gave you a direct...

Mitch, I'm in
a real bind here.

Please, just look up the specs!

I do not have to.

You cannot remove it.

Why?

How do you know that?

Well, Lieutenant, I know,
because I watch them repair it.

And they do it on the ship.

If they could take it
out, I would have seen it.

But you don't know.

MITCH: John, listen to me.

You are out of time.

Do you hear me, Lieutenant?

We are out of time.

You have to boot the girl.

I'll decide when
I'm going to do it.

MITCH: That's insubordination.

- Yes.
- Fine.

Then you know what
you are, Johnny?

You're a dumb bastard.

And when they come
asking about this,

I'm not going to help you.
Do you hear me?

I'm not going to help you!

I'm sure you won't.

Ugh.

OK.

Aw, I could really use a pliers.

Yeah, well, if we had
any, we threw them out.

Well, I think
I can get it to...

Ow.

Ooh.

Why don't you try turning it?

Shut up.

Well, maybe it'll unscrew.

OK.

[spark]

Whoa.

Whoa.

I think it's broken now.

Hey, John?

Mm?

If this comes out, I can stay.

Can't I?

All the way to the bottom.

I could see Adrian.

I wouldn't have to
worry about the radio.

You could kiss
him on the cheek.

[chuckle] John, if you get
this out, I will do anything.

I'll... I'll get a job.

I'll... I'll give
you all my money.

I'll introduce you to a girl.

Who says I need one?

John, if anyone ever needed
a girlfriend, it's you.

You don't know that.

Yes, I do.

[groaning]

[groaning] I can't get it out.

It's permanent.

It's not coming out of there.

Are you, uh...

are you sure?

It's not going anywhere.

And there's nothing else?

No.

I'm sorry.

How long can I...

wait for Adrian?

[spark]

Ah!

Here you go.

Come on.

- [grunting]
- Hold still.

Hold still.

I got to stop the bleeding.

Just hold still.

Get the first aid kit.

We threw it out.
Oh god.

Oh god.

OK, OK, OK.

OK.

[grunting] Ah!

OK, OK, OK.

Ah!

[grunting]

Just hold still!

Ah!

[grunting]

It's all right.
It's all right.

It's going to be all right.

It's going to be all right.
- [groaning]

All right.
All right.

Just lie there.

You're going to be fine.

You're going be fine.

[panting]

How do you feel?

Not good.

Does it hurt?

I'm sorry.

We say that a
lot to each other.

[chuckle] Yeah,
and it probably

won't be the last time.

[grunt] I left Earth, because
I couldn't tell the difference

between myself and anyone else.

I felt like if I didn't do
something, I would just...

I know.
I know.

It's like that.

People, they move
out of the cities,

and the cities keep right
on chasing them down.

I learned to conform
to everything around me.

So what do you want?

I thought maybe I'd
find out out here.

I guess you can't get away from
what you carry around with you.

Are you trying to
get away from yourself?

All I know is,
until today I still

couldn't see much of a
difference between myself

and anyone else.

I'm not... not trying...

I mean, I don't...

I don't want anything.

I believe you.

Do I get a last request?

You had about a dozen.

[laughing]

JOHN: [laughing]

[music playing]

Where are you going?

What... what are you looking for?

Remember when we
talked to LC 10?

We told them we were
going to be late...

Yeah?

They didn't care.

They said, be late,
delay if we had to.

Yeah, but we can't...

Listen.

Think.

If it were an emergency, if
people were going to die...

Then we couldn't be late.

Stand back.

Take that to the chair.

Did you ruin the medicine?

No, the medicine's fine.

I ruined my career, but
the medicine's fine.

What are you trying to find?

Information.

Liars.

What?
What?

It's not medicine?

It's not medicine,
not for an emergency.

It's a vaccine.

It's to inoculate the miners.

Well, that... that's medicine.

They're not sick yet.

It's a fungus in the mines.

They found the
fungus, obviously.

But they haven't
exposed anyone yet.

With this stuff they can...
they can keep working.

They don't lose any
production time.

So they're not going to die?

Not if they don't
go in the mines.

Well... well... well, let's
get it the hell out of here.

Can you pull?

I am pulling.

BOTH: [groaning]

Wait.

Wait.

You... you said this
is to inoculate them.

You said they're not sick yet.
- They don't go in.

They don't get sick.
- No, they will go in.

They will.

They'll make them.
You know what it's like.

They don't have to.

They will make them.

What, you think the
corporation's going to wait,

hmm?

You think they're
going to strike?

They're alive.

They don't have to die.

If we do this...

you know if we do
this, people will die.

I don't know that.

Why'd it say that?

Well, I must've
punched it in wrong.

- John.
- Don't worry.

It can't be right.

The medicine weighed
more than enough.

Are you sure?

Sure, I'm sure.

I'll reconfigure.

There has to be some old
data stuck in here somewhere.

- It keeps saying...
- I know.

It's wrong.

But why does it
keep saying that?

I don't know.

We had too much weight,
and now we don't?

We're lighter than we should be.

Right, than it
shouldn't be saying that.

It doesn't matter
what it says.

We can land.

I mean, it's not a...

Not a what?

Geometrical.

What?

It's a geometrical equation.

What does that mean?

It means we've
waited too long.

Our math is two hours old.

We... we didn't recheck it.

We... we needed to run
another simulation.

Did you make a mistake?

No, not then I didn't.

So how is it different now?

When I figured out how much we
had to lose, that was for then.

If we had lost that
then, we'd have been OK.

What... what... what
difference does it make?

We've been burning
fuel this whole time.

But with your extra weight,
we haven't been slowing

down as much as we should.

The longer we waited, the
more fuel we needed to burn.

And so as time passed...

No, that's wrong.

We have more than two hours.

We have more than two hours, and
we'll be on the ground by then,

because every 40
pounds is an hour!

That was hours ago.

If we lost 40 pounds now,
that might give us 10 minutes.

John, please.

Please.

I don't... I don't understand
what you're saying.

If a car begins
rolling downhill,

you can stop it with one finger,
if you do it soon enough.

But if it gets going, builds
momentum, it'll run you over.

You need more and
more force to stop it.

For us, that force is fuel.

And to have enough fuel, we
still need to be lighter.

By how much?

80 pounds.

Oh my god.

Soon it'll be 100, then more.

We're back to where we started.

John.

John, I need to talk to Adrian.

[music playing]

ADRIAN: This is Eastern
Station going out at 945.

Are you forward?

Eastern Station.

This is EDS 34 G11.

Do you read?

This is Cross.

Hi.

Lee?

Adrian.

Where are you?

I'm on the EDS.

ADRIAN: Are you OK?

What are you doing on that ship?

Adrian, there's a problem.

I can't stay.

What do you mean?

LEE: If I stay, the
ship will crash.

I don't have time to
tell you this, OK?

I stowed away.
I... I wanted...

You stowed away?

What were you...

I can't believe it.

Adrian, we have to talk now.

And we have to make it fast, OK?

So can we just talk?

Well, of course, sis.

I need to tell you something.

I want you to go on.

I want you to go on,
and work hard, and get

married, and be happy, OK?

I can't believe it.

What... there's no way?

No, we tried everything.

We dumped the cargo.

And John... he's the pilot.

He dumped his cargo
to try to save me.

He's in really big trouble.

Adrian, you don't ever go
into the mines, do you?

- Sometimes.
- Don't.

Don't.
There's no vaccine.

Don't let anybody go in there.

People will get sick
if they go in the mine,

so just believe me, OK?

I believe you.

I'm going to be OK.

I don't want you to beat
yourself up about this.

I'll be fine.

Let's... let's not...

Adrian, we're never going
to get another chance, OK?

Are you seeing anyone?

Yeah, a... a woman here.

Is it serious?

ADRIAN: I don't know.

I think it is.

What are you talking about?

How can you even...

Adrian, it's serious, right?

I don't know.

What are you doing on that ship?

I wasn't supposed to see
you for another year.

I thought you were going
to stop running away.

- I wasn't running away.
- Yes, you were.

That's your game.

You always pack up and jet!

Yeah, well, not anymore!

Not anymore, Adrian, because
there is nowhere for me to go.

Why have you done this?

Because you left me, OK?

And I miss you.

Is that why you came?

I just never figured out how
to love anyone else, you know?

You're going to
die because of me?

No.

No.

Adrian, I do not want you
to think of it like that.

You hear me?

I do not want you to
remember me like this.

Listen.

I want you to listen
to me, Adrian.

Close your eyes.

Just do it.

I want you to go back.

Go back.

We're... we're in
our first house,

and you're sitting in that
room with the big window.

Do you see it?

Yeah, I see it.

You look through
the window, and you

see the tree on the sidewalk.

And you see the
painting on the wall,

and it's the man on the horse.

And the sunlight
is on your face.

I feel it.

And there's someone
next to you, Adrian.

ADRIAN: Yeah.

Who is he?

It's you.

Lee?

We're coming up on nightside.

Adrian, can you hear me?
ADRIAN: Yes.

Adrian, you have
to say goodbye to me.

You have to say
goodbye to me now.

We don't have any
more time left.

I love you.

I love you too.

You know what.

I... I think I've been
more afraid of the saying

goodbye than anything else.

How much time?

15 minutes.

So I guess it's our
turn to say goodbye.

Wait.

I've been thinking, maybe
we missed something.

We didn't.

Then you know what?

I'll go.

You'll land the ship

- Oh, sure.
- You can.

It's easy.

The computer does most of it.

The computer?

John, you don't even know
how to work the stupid thing.

It's not that difficult.
There are eight routines, uh,

14 sub... no, 16 subroutines.

The main thing is the
initiation sequence.

It's a basic signature code.

It'll get you down
to the subroutines.

John.

Then, all you need
is the navigation,

the proximity
sensors, and then...

- John!
- Listen.

You have to learn this.

We don't have much time!

I am not gonna learn this!

Do you hear yourself?

I'm sorry.

Then we'll both go.

What?

I'm going with you.

Oh, really?

We'll go together.

John, I'm gonna die.

Do you really think I
want you to die too?

But I want...

No.

I don't care what you want.

I'm telling you what I want.

You're going to live,
because I say so.

You don't get a choice.

John, you have to live.

We did something wrong, and
you have to go down there

and make it right.

You have to tell
them about the mines.

Adrian didn't know.

They haven't told the miners.

You have to do
something else for me.

You have to tell people
what happened up here.

You have to tell them
why nobody would help us.

Maybe then it won't
be for nothing.

Promise me.

I promise.

OK.

[crying] Let's get
this over with, huh?

It's too cold in here.

There's still time left.

I don't want you to go.

I don't want you to go!
No!

John!

Go away!

Let me go!

Think of all the people
that are gonna die!

I don't care!

No!

If you care about me,
don't make this any harder.

[crying]

Oh god.

John, I love you.

[crying]

[dramatic music]

I'm sitting in a field on Earth.

I'm sitting under
a tree, and I can

feel the grass under my
feet and the sun on my face.

And it feels warm.

And there's someone
sitting next to me...

John.

[thud]

[somber music]

MARKHAM: And this was the last
time you talked to your sister?

Yes.

The lieutenant landed
an hour or so later.

I was with the team
that found the ship.

We took him to the
clinic for his injuries.

That's where he was arrested.

Did you talk with him
when you brought him in?

Yes.

Yes.

MARKHAM: What was the
nature of your conversation?

We talked about Lee.

MARKHAM: You had
no problem speaking

to the man who was responsible
for the death of your sister?

John's not responsible
for what happened,

not to Lee and not
what happened later.

He tried to warn people, but
the company wouldn't let him.

That's all, Mr. Cross.

I can tell you
who's responsible.

You are!
All of you!

Mr. Cross, not another word!

Bring in Barton.
You can step down.

Lieutenant, you've watched
this hearing in its entirety

from your holding cell?

I have.

Do you have any
other facts to present?

Facts which might shed
new light on the events

we've outlined to the
board here this afternoon.

No.

It sounds to me like you all
have it just about perfect.

Ladies and gentlemen, I won't
bore you with the facts again.

You heard what happened.

I would just ask you to
remember, as you consider

Lieutenant Barton's
sentence, that we are still

dealing with the
consequences of his actions

on that day a year ago.

We are still dealing with
the families of the miners

who chose to work.

12 men have died because
of what the lieutenant did.

Many more are seriously
ill, and the general strike

that this incident
touched off has cost much.

This incident was the
genesis of all the problems

we've had this year.

And Lieutenant
Barton is to blame.

Does the accused wish
to make a statement

before hearing sentence?

Yes, actually, I do.

I promised Lee I
wouldn't let anyone

die because of what we did.

And men have died.

I promised I would tell
people what happened, that I

would try to change things.

And things remain unchanged.

You can do what
you like with me.

I don't think I matter.

But I don't think
you'll be able to kill

the idea of having killed her.

Objectives?

I think we should
make an example.

Objections?

John Barton, following
the recommendation

of the prosecution, you are
to be sentenced as follows.

All company stocks shall be
seized by the corporation.

You are to be
dishonorably discharged.

And you will spend 15
years in the mines,

on the labor colony, VL 6.

Corporal, you're to take the
lieutenant back to holding.

You will take the
lieutenant back to his cell,

or you'll be charged with
contempt of these proceedings!

It's all right to come on
over here and take me away.

Thank you, sir.

If you ever need anything,
sir, you just let someone know.

Thank you.
