It won't turn into Arizona

no matter how long

you stare at it,

My grandmother

gave me this painting

before she died,

It's based

on the legend

that at the end

of the world,

all the falling stars

would come

to the Earth

and turn the people

of the Earth

into stars,

Is this how it's going to be

between us?

I'm still not ready,

You're not the only one

who lost our child, Callie,

I'm sorry,

Because she died

inside me,

sometimes I think

I was the only one who knew her,

loved her,

I think

I've been afraid

that by trying

to have another baby,

it would be disrespectful

to the spirit of Amanda,

Well, maybe the next one

will be Amanda, ,,

Coming home to us,

taking another shot

at being born,

Morning,

Have you had

breakfast?

I brought some bagels,

Don't you people ever knock?

( control voice )

There is nothing wrong

With your television,

do not attempt to adjust

the picture,

we are now controlling

the transmission,

we control the horizontal,

And the vertical,

We can deluge you

with a thousand channels

or expand one single image

to crystal clarity, ,,

and beyond,

We can shape your vision

To anything our imagination

can conceive,

for the next hour,

We will control

all that you see and hear,

( ♪ )

You are about to experience

the awe and mystery

which reaches from

the deepest inner mind

to

The Outer Limits,

Are we affected

only by our outward experience,

or are there other worlds

that affect us,

hidden worlds

That exist

in the heart and in the blood?

Not bad, Jim,

Still warm,

And you thought Houston

only had good

barbecue,

You didn't fly your new toy

all the way from Texas

just to serve us breakfast,

Maybe I did,

Maybe I'm just being neighborly,

Mm-hmm,

Okay, maybe I didn't,

You're going

to love this,

A couple of years ago

on the Martian moon Phobos,

a quantum accelerator slammed

a couple of newly discovered

subatomic particles

together,

and, ,,

Oh, my God,

Looks like the higgs-boson field

is being torn apart,

Translation?

The foundation of our universe,

Without the higgs field,

nothing would have mass,

Atoms couldn't exist,

You can see right here

how it's being

stripped away,

a hole torn

in the very fabric

of our universe,

and inside that hole, ,,

Another universe,

Another continuum,

existing just below the surface

of the one we're living in,

We're calling it "Transspace,"

The first hole only stayed open

for a fraction

of a second,

but eventually,

we got them to stay open

long enough to send in

a half a dozen unmanned probes,

Into transspace?

Mm-hmm, Look at this here,

Probe went in here,

half a second later,

it appears on the other side

of the solar system,

Which means transspace

is a shortcut

between two fixed points

in space?

Very good,

We'd no longer be limited

by the speed of light,

15 billion people

on Earth

desperate for other planets

to colonize,

This could be their ticket

to get out of the solar system,

into the galaxy,

We are putting together

the first manned mission

into transspace,

Now, I'll be

in command,

I need two mission specialists,

I need an expert

astrophysicist

to analyze

the environment,

and I need a medical doctor

to study the effects

of transspace on humans,

Now, you don't suppose

you know where I could find

a couple of folks like these,

do you?

All right,

should we accept,

who else'll be on the roster?

An astrogation expert

by the name

of Dr, Louisa Kennedy,

She'll handle navigation

as well as

attempt to map transspace,

Look,

this is more than the usual risk

on this one,

Two of the probes we sent in

never returned,

On the upside,

you'd be among

the first

to explore a whole new universe,

Take all the time

you need to decide,

as long as I have your answer

by this afternoon,

We leave in two weeks,

I know you feel rushed,

but I...

I feel disconnected,

We were planning

on going home

to the mountains,

Arizona'll still be there

when we get back,

This isn't about

missing our trip, is it?

My grandmother lived

a traditional Navajo life

within sight

of those mountains

until the day she died,

so here's

her granddaughter,

never at home,

jetting around

the solar system, ,,

She was

disappointed in me,

I'm not

disappointed in you, ,,

Never will be,

Copernicus,

this is titan base,

You are cleared

to begin transition,

Roger that,

Engines on-line,

Initializing particle generator,

alpha sequence,

Viewscreen on,

Drilling commenced,

Impulse guidance systems

off the charts,

Holding trajectory,

Hull compression red-lined,

Engine-core displacement 11%,

Warning,

Quantum turbulence present,

engagement program

ready to reboot,

reboot, my tailpipe,

Titan base,

This is Copernicus,

what the hell's going on?

Copernicus,

more turbulence anticipated,

But, ,,All go,

Titan base, over,

Titan base,

Copernicus is launching,

All right,

everybody,

just grab onto anything

nailed down,

Titan base,

Copernicus has safely made its transition,

Portal closing,

Can you read?

Over,

That's it,

We're on our own,

It's beautiful,

Are those stars

or black holes?

So many black holes

would have sucked

this entire universe inside,

Does anyone else

find this vaguely unsettling?

In the absence of light,

space should be dark, not...

"Is there no bright reversion

in the sky

"For those who greatly think,

or bravely die?"

Alexander Pope,

Don't you

people read?

Warning,

Hull integrity challenged,

that can't be good,

Increasing g-forces on the hull,

Hull compression

at two Earth gravities,

what's happening?

Whenever a ship

enters transspace,

millions of gravitons...

That's the little particles

that make up gravity waves...

Attach themselves

to the hull,

Is that how you lost

the second probe,

crushed by gravity particles?

Uh-huh,

I'm using the ship's

artificial gravity shields

to repel them,

1,5 gs, ,,

1,3,, ,

G-force is normal again,

We are the first humans

seeing what we're seeing

right now,

but I promise you

we will not be the last,

because today, ,,

Today,

humanity took its first step

towards the stars,

All right, come on,

Let's go, folks,

Let's get to work,

You didn't look too good

during the transition,

Just a little discomfort,

Didn't

you feel it?

No,

I don't think they did, either,

Let's go

check you out,

What's taking so long?

Tell your molecules

to stop fidgeting,

Alec, I swear,

I feel fine,

What is it?

Good God,

What?

You're pregnant,

What?

Pregnant? Are you sure?

10 days,

We had a fight that morning,

kissed and made up that night,

Kitchen table ring a bell?

But why didn't the pre-flight

medscan catch this?

It was too early to pick up,

I never would have been allowed

to come on this mission,

What effect will this have

on the baby?

The baby's not in danger,

Your stress levels

are a little high,

your body's pumping out

more endorphins than normal,

but that's just due

to the excitement,

Should we tell Jim?

No, Jim will just worry,

It's against

regulations

to withhold information,

Only if it jeopardizes

the safety of the crew

or the success

of the mission,

and as ship's doctor,

I don't think that's the case,

And what about us?

Does this make

a difference

between us?

Do we have to

analyze everything?

Can't we just

enjoy this moment?

[ beeping ]

The DNA scan, ,,

It's a girl,

We know

the first unmanned probes

entered transspace here

and left it here,

and so on with the other probes,

Now, since we know at what point

they left normal space

and also returned to it,

we can correlate points

in our universe

with points in this universe,

and we get...

A road map,

The beginnings of one,

at least,

Someday we'll use

this continuum

as a freeway system,

with off-ramps

marked "This way

to Alpha Centauri,"

I've a good deal more transspace

to chart

before it's even remotely

an expressway,

Right now I'll be happy

if when we leave here,

we wind up

in our own solar system,

and not 10,000 light-years

from home,

We'll help

a lot of people

with this new

freeway system,

I mean, this can open up doors

that we haven't even

dreamt of yet,

Be careful what you wish for,

commander,

You all right?

Yeah, Headache,

I've been doing

spectroanalysis

on those dark stars

for over an hour,

Any idea

what they might be?

Well, they seem to have

some of the same elements

you'd find in a star,

principally hydrogen,

but they don't

emit light,

some unknown

kind of radiation,

Everything here

seems to radiate

the same kind of energy, ,,

Viewscreen on,

Including

those huge objects,

We've been instructed

to bring any vital samples

back home,

Those are too big

to fit in the cargo bay,

Maybe we can cut off a piece

with our laser,

use the grappler beam

to pull it in,

shield it

against radiation?

All right,

what is it?

I have

the oddest feeling

when I look

out there,

like all this

is somehow familiar,

as if I were home

looking out my own window,

You must have

quite a view,

Emergency,

Shield failure

in aft quadrant seven,

integrity of hull

at critical risk,

Earth gravities climbing,

2,8,

3,0,

3,2,

Rear shield system off-line,

Has the hull been breached?

Not yet,

3,8,

Mass concentration

of graviton particles present

on the aft

of the ship,

That thing reaches five,

we're finished,

Callie, you've got to

get those shields up,

Rerouting percentage power

from forward shields,

4,6,

4,8,

Power to shield restored,

Earth gravities dropping,

Shield perimeter intact,

Internal gravity optimal,

Power status?

With the redirect,

we're at 80%,

Everybody okay?

Well, ,,

The good news is

the graviton particles

were on our hull long enough

for the external scopes

to record

their structure,

Look at this,

The graviton particles

are actually part

of a larger mass,

one big enough

we can actually see,

Each one seems to consist

of five nuclei,

Hwiina,

Hwiina?

You feel it,

little one?

The Hozho

is disordered,

You feel it?

Nali?

Nali!

It was my nali, Alec,

My grandmother,

she spoke to me,

She said

"Hwiina,"

Hwiina?

It's been so long, ,,

It means something

about place,

this place,

She told me

that the Hozho was disordered,

The Hozho is the harmony

and balance of the universe,

Its disruption

by human beings

is the worst thing

that can happen

in the Navajo cosmos,

So, anybody else

having any interesting

hallucinations?

Come over here,

Is that what it felt like?

Hallucinations?

No, that's just it,

It felt very real,

I could even smell

the lavender in her hair,

Clearly, you were drawing

on your own memories,

but I can't see

any evidence here, ,,

Delusional psychosis?

Callie, honey,

you're not crazy,

I am the nutcase

in this family,

Remember?

It's clear to me

you're having

a physical reaction

to being in transspace,

and let's not forget

that you are pregnant,

How is the baby?

Perfectly normal,

but you, on the other hand,

you're running a fever,

You've got chills,

body ache, headache,

all the classic symptoms

of infection,

but there is not a trace

of either a bacteria or a virus

in your system,

Bacteria, ,,

You're sick,

but there's no reason

for you to be sick,

Your immune system

hasn't been activated,

You don't have

any antigens present, ,,

Of course, That's it,

Where are you

going?

Come on,

I need your professional opinion

on something,

Those are

graviton particles,

What do they

look like to you?

No clue, Come on, let's go,

No, In your own experience

as an MD,

what do those particles

remind you of?

Five nuclei,

Leukocytes,

White blood cells,

Exactly, White blood cells,

Good old

white blood cells,

They attach themselves

to foreign substances

in the body, ,,

And destroy the intruder,

Sound familiar?

These particles

may be part

of the natural

order here,

their function being

to protect this

massive environment

from alien substances,

And we are the

alien substance?

Mm-hmm, Call it

a subatomic defense mechanism,

If we're still planning

on bringing

one of those big rocks

inside this ship,

we'd better make sure

it doesn't have

a defense mechanism of its own,

Point taken, What about you?

You're starting to look

like typhoid Mary,

Thanks,

It's no worse than a bad cold,

I should be able to do my job,

Nobody else

has been affected like her?

No,

It, ,,lt may have

something to do

with the fact

that I'm, ,,

I'm pregnant,

And you waited till now

to tell me this?

We only just...

Hold on a second,

I've known you for what,

10 years?

I wish you'd felt free

to confide in me,

I'm sorry,

It's, ,,lt's just the mission, ,,

There's no evidence

the baby is in danger,

Callie's condition

is relatively stable,

but her symptoms

are not consistent

with that of a pregnancy,

So something else affected her?

Yes,

All right,

I want a full-scale analysis

of those big rocks out there,

I want to know

what they're made of,

to the best we can determine,

before we attempt

our retrieval operation,

Those gravitons

gave us a run for our money,

and I am not taking any chances

on their big brothers out there,

Double-check everyone,

including me,

for any symptoms

like the ones she's been having,

I want that done every hour

if you have to,

All right,

And if you two

even think

of withholding

any more information from me,

I will have your butts kicked

so far out of the space program,

they won't even let you ride

Space Mountain,

Understand?

Perfectly,

Callie, ,,

Congratulations,

Spectroanalysis indicates

the large masses outside

are 40%

hydrogen and carbon dioxide,

20% iron, copper,

and other

trace elements,

and 40% unknown...

Some element

totally absent

from the periodic

table,

Radiation?

Appears minimal,

We should have

adequate shielding

against these wavelengths

in the cargo hold,

No defense mechanisms,

gravitons?

It's not

just a rock,

There's definitely

some molecular activity

going on inside,

Given that we don't know

what makes up 40% of it,

I can't say retrieval

is totally

without risk,

We'll have to

drop and raise our shields

real quick,

Seems like

acceptable risk,

Getting a key sample

is critical to our mission,

Viewscreen on,

All right,

We'll carve off

a little piece of that one,

Move us in a little closer,

Got to time this thing

just right,

Take your stations,

What the, ,,

Hello, little one,

Nali?

This isn't real,

It's as real

as you need it to be,

I need it to be not real,

I need to be back on the ship,

Remember our walks

in those mountains?

I smell lavender,

Remember the backpack we'd fill

with water and cookies?

Emergency cookies,

And remember what

I told you, child?

How all the Earth

is as alive as you or I?

The mountains are her heart,

the rivers and streams,

her veins and arteries, ,,

All alive, connected,

and so our people

have always believed,

Hwiina,

Hwiina, ,,

Oh, my God,

Now,

No!

Callie!

Feisty little rock,

All power, forward shield,

Help me out here, Doc,

The gyro system's back on-line,

Stabilization in five seconds, ,,

And stabilizing,

Engines

completely off-line,

Automatic

reactor shutdown,

We're on impulse power

with primary reserve power

partially active,

Graviton shields?

Some degeneration present,

but holding,

Take it easy,

Take it easy,

I'm taking you back

to the infirmary,

No, I'm all right,

No, you're not all right,

I've never heard anybody

scream like that,

Alec, it wasn't my pain,

Now I know

what's happening here,

I put it all together,

Let Alec take you

to sick bay,

Please? Look at you,

Thank you,

No, I have to show you

something,

Okay,

Look, when that thing exploded,

it released hydrogen,

carbon dioxide,

and a stream

of high-energy electrons...

The same combination

that creates electrical power

in a living cell,

It certainly reacted

like a living organism,

All right,

For the sake of argument,

would you say

that this stuff is, uh, alive?

Would you say it's intelligent?

You're not understanding, Jim,

They're no

more conscious

than the cells

in our own bodies,

but they are organic,

Those large rocks out there,

they function

like red corpuscles,

and the gravitons

are the white blood cells,

and transspace

is the bloodstream,

What are you

talking about?

What if the universe

as we know it

is just the surface

of the universe?

A bacterium

living on our skin

would think this was

the whole universe,

but if you injected it

into a vein,

what would it see then?

Red blood cells,

Those big rocks out there

carry hydrogen

the same way our red cells

carry oxygen in our blood,

Oh, so now you're saying

that the universe

is some kind of huge being?

What I'm saying is

the universe is alive,

From the moment I came here,

I felt that,

like no one else could,

I don't know why,

Maybe it's because I'm pregnant,

Because on some level

life recognizes new life,

Our presence

has infected transspace,

so her body mirrors

the symptoms of infection,

Yes, and my subconscious mind

has been working overtime,

trying to get my conscious mind

to get what's going on,

Hwiina,

It means "the place lives,"

This place is alive,

All right, stop, This is crazy,

I cannot make decisions

that affect our lives

based on some wild theory,

No, she's right,

I've been studying

a cluster of these dark stars

in the distance,

I used the computer

to create

a three-dimensional model,

and then rotated it in space,

I thought the results

were a glitch, faulty data,

The rotation of the stars

created a double helix,

My God, ,,

DNA,

If this is part

of some massive

macrocosmic being,

is that God,

or something

we've yet to comprehend?

Is this the place

where all life begins?

This energy out there,

could it be the life force?

All right,

let's back off

the philosophical arguments,

We've got to get

this ship moving,

Start plotting a course

back to the exact point

that we entered transspace,

We're getting

out of here,

This information

will help us

on the next mission,

Jim, transspace

is much more

than just a shortcut

to the stars,

It's not something

to be exploited,

No, Transspace is our ticket

to new discovery,

It's the pipeline to our future,

Without it, we are stuck

in our solar system,

We'd have never gotten this far

if it wasn't our destiny,

I am all too familiar

with the concept

of manifest destiny,

thank you,

I told you,

I'm fine,

Enough

with the scanning,

What?

She's gone,

What happened?

The pain I felt?

Mm-hmm,

All this life around us,

and, ,,

I don't have time for this,

I've got to get back to work,

Wait,

It can wait,

I've got to help Jim

get the engines

back on-line,

Callie,

let me do my job,

Five minutes,

Please?

Look at this...

I've aligned

this black star here

in transspace

with its exact

corresponding point

in our universe,

which happens to be

a star,

There are other

parallels, too,

Large masses here

in transspace

correspond with planets

in our space,

and the objects

in both universes

have much the same

chemical composition,

as if they're

linked somehow,

Linked, huh?

Maybe the objects here

actually intrude

or poke through

in some way,

creating

stars and planets

in our universe,

I don't know,

I think you're getting

a little ahead of yourself,

Maybe life does start here

in transspace,

The collision

nearly ruptured

the magnetic

containment vessel

in the reactor core,

It's operating

at less than 60%

of optimal strength,

Repairable?

Not with what

we have on hand,

and if we try

for anything above 60%

normal power levels,

the magnetic field

will collapse, and, ,,

Boom,

Boom, big-time,

All right,

so we've got enough power

for the engines,

and we've got enough power

to keep the graviton shields up

so we don't get crushed,

It'll be tricky getting back,

We'll have to switch power

from the engines

to the particle generator,

drill open a quantum hole,

then switch back to engines...

Split-second timing,

I can't afford to not

get this information back home,

and I can't continue to risk

the health of your child,

There's no telling

what this environment's

doing to it,

I don't want you to worry,

I'll get you both home safe,

It's going to be all right,

So, what are you

going to name her?

It's all right, child,

I'm unconscious, Is that it?

Actually,

you're more conscious than ever,

I thought all of this

would go away

after I lost, ,,

Go on,

say it,

You're safe here,

After I lost Amanda,

I grieve

with you, child,

What else makes you sad?

No, Stop it!

You're not real,

You're just a memory

from my subconscious mind,

Perhaps your

subconscious

remembers more than you do,

What else makes you sad?

When I was a little girl, ,,

You showed me

all the constellations, ,,

Sash, the bear,

Dasani, the porcupine,

the horned rattlesnake,

thishtso,

Anlt anii, the beetle,

I fell in love with the stars

because of you,

Mm-hmm,

And when

I left home

to study those things

that you taught me to love, ,,

I saw

the hurt and disappointment

in your eyes,

Did I ever ask you

to stay in the four corners?

You didn't have to,

I knew that's what you wanted,

I would never ask anyone

to trade their dream for mine,

I lived within

the sacred lands

all my life,

I woke each morning and prayed,

made offerings,

tried to live a life

of harmony and balance,

I did these things

because

so few in this century do,

I felt

someone had to,

and because I love the lands,

it was not a hard choice,

I love them, too,

I know you do, ,,

And that

is the true essence

of Hozho,

of harmony...

Respecting and balancing

the universal order,

the forces

that bring life,

You don't have to live

within the four corners

to do that,

If there was disappointment

in my eyes

when you left,

it was only

because I loved you

and I didn't want to see you go,

I think I'm ready now,

I felt calm,

happy,

I felt like bursting with

promise and excitement,

You look amazing,

You look 10 years younger,

Like when

we'd go hiking

in the mountains back home,

and I'd take a deep breath

of air,

and I'd know that it rose

off the hot floor of the desert,

cooling

the higher it got,

One breath of air,

and it connected me

to everything around me,

from the Earth to the sky,

I felt the life, ,,

And I felt the death, too,

Amanda's death, ,,

The possibility of our own,

and it was all

part of the same design,

the Hozho,

Callie, ,,

We're not going to die,

You don't know that,

I want to make love

with you, Alec,

Here?

Now?

Here, Now,

All right, folks,

we're almost home,

Approaching

original entry point,

50 meters, 40,

30,

Full stop,

I don't like

what I'm seeing here,

What happened

to our power levels?

Increasing g-forces on the hull,

It's taking more and more power

to repel the gravitons,

They're everywhere,

We got enough juice

to drill a hole and go home?

Not enough for the entire ship,

Big enough for the escape pod?

No, not even for the pod,

If we switched off

the graviton shields,

how much time would we have

to open a hole

and get through?

That would give us

enough power,

but it'd leave

less than 30 seconds

before the ship was crushed,

That's not enough time

to make the transition,

What do we have left

in the reactor core?

Less than 60%,

All right,

If we crank that up manually

to 75%

to make the transition,

how long before

the reactor overloads?

Jim, no,

A minute, maybe two,

That's all the time we need,

Download your data

into the escape pod,

Evacuate,

By the time the reactor blows,

we'll be home free,

All right,

Dr, Kennedy,

get your transition program

on-line,

and get set to drill that hole

for the escape pod,

Wait,

My God, Jim,

this is a living thing,

and you want to set off

a nuclear explosion

inside it?

We have no other choice,

The radioactivity

could poison

this whole continuum

for the next 10,000 years,

If transspace is poisoned,

we could very well

poison ourselves,

poison the very source

of life itself,

That is speculation,

What if she's right?

My responsibility

is the safe return

of this crew

and the information

that we've gathered,

Now, I am ordering you

to download your data

into the escape pod,

because we're

getting out of here now,

I've programmed the computer

to override

and raise power

levels to 75%

in exactly 15 minutes,

Set the particle generator

to open a hole 10 seconds later,

Okay,

Callie,

I'm, ,,I'm sorry,

I know, Manifest destiny,

How are we doing, Doc?

Ready for launch,

All right,

I'll take the helm,

You okay?

I don't know,

I love you, Alec,

I always will,

I know, Come on,

Callie! Callie!

Locking sequence updated,

Escape pod launch sequence

initiated,

transferring reactor control

to bridge,

Turn back,

I can't, She locked the door,

I said turn us back!

I can't,

She changed the sequence code,

Escape pod in position

and holding,

Callie! Callie,

can you hear me?

I'm here, Alec,

Callie, don't do this,

It's already done,

Activating particle generator,

The ship

doesn't have enough power

to make the hole,

It will

when I drop the graviton shield,

I'll reroute extra power

from the shields,

that surge should open a hole

for you to go home,

Once you're though,

I'll take the reactor

off-line,

it's the only way to save

both you and this universe,

God, Callie, no!

I had to, Alec,

When I lost Amanda this time,

I thought,

all this life around us

and only death inside me,

If we poison

this place,

I'm afraid, ,,

No, I know, somehow,

all women, all humanity,

will only have death

inside them,

Dropping graviton shield,

Shields deactivated,

Power rerouted

to particle generators,

I'm sorry, Alec,

I wish it didn't

have to be this way,

I wish I could

hold our child in my arms

before I die, ,,

Or see the sun rise in Arizona

one last time,

Earth gravities rising,

Hull compression imminent,

Callie, ,,

I love you so much,

And I love you,

I'm so sorry

That we wasted

so much time

being angry

at each other,

good-bye, my love,

No!

Say it!

Goodbye, ,,

Goodbye, my love,

Hull integrity compromised,

Warning...

Hull breach

in sectors 10, 21, and 66,

reactor off-line,

Little one, ,,

You have lived the way,

We are shaped

by our experience

both within and without,

Present and past,

And we pass

those experiences on

in our blood,

Giving birth

to new generations,
