Dr. Brand, Im sorry to tell you that your father died today.

He had no pain.

He was at peace.

Im sorry for your loss.

Is that Murph?

She’s, She’s grown.

Brand, did you know?

He told you, right?

You knew.

This was all a sham.

You left us here.

To suffocate.

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.

Cooper, my….

My father dedicated his whole life to Plan A.

I have no idea what she’s talking about.

I do.

He never even hoped to get the 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 with 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.

Romilly, is that true?

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

The gravity’s so strong, its 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 cant, Coop.

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.

Plan B.

A colony.

Why not tell people?

Why keep building those stations?

He knew how hard it would be to get people to work together to save the species instead of themselves or their children.

Bullshit.

You never would’ve come unless you believed you would save them.

Evolution has yet to transcend that simple barrier.

We can care deeply, selflessly about those we know, but that empathy rarely extends beyond our line of sight.

But the lie.

That 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.

An incredible sacrifice is being made by the people on Earth who are gonna die!

Because in his fucking arrogance he declared their case hopeless.

I’m sorry, Cooper their case is hopeless.

No.

No.

We are the future.

Cooper, what can I do?

Let me go home.

You’re absolutely positive?

His solution was correct.

He’d 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.

But stuck down here on Earth?

Yeah?

I’m not sure you can.

God, they just pack up and leave.

What are they hoping to find?

Survival.

Damn it.

Murph, don’t, don’t people have a right to know?

Panic wont help.

We just have to keep working, same as ever.

But isn’t that exactly what Professor Brand was manipulating us to do?

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….

It felt like a person.

It was trying to tell me something.

If there’s an answer here on Earth, its back there somehow, in that room.

So I have to find it.

Were running out of time.

What about auxiliary oxygen scrubbers?

No, they can stay.

I’ll be sleeping anyway.

Hey, Coop?

Yeah?

I have a suggestion for your return journey.

Yeah, what’s that?

Have one last crack at the black hole.

I’m going home, Rom.

Yeah, I know.

This isn’t going to cost you any time.

There’s a chance for the people on Earth.

Talk to me.

Gargantua’s an older spinning black hole.

It’s what we call a gentle singularity.

Gentle?

They’re hardly gentle.

But the tidal gravity is so quick that something crossing the horizon fast might survive.

A probe, say.

What happens after it crosses?

After the horizon is a complete mystery.

So, what’s to say there isn’t some way that the probe can glimpse the singularity and relay the quantum data?

If he’s equipped to transmit every form of energy that can pulse.

Just when did this probe become a he, professor?

TARS is the obvious candidate.

I’ve already told him what to look for.

I’d need the old optical transmitter off KIPP, Cooper.

You’d do this for us?

Before you get all teary, remember that as a robot I have to do anything you say.

Your cue lights broken.

I’m not joking.

I’ll need TARS to remove and adapt some components from KIPP.

I don’t want to disturb his archival functions.

I’ll supervise.

All right.

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

One for Brands lab, two for habitat.

Once those modules have landed, you don’t want to move them.

I can take you to the probe sites, but I don’t think these conditions will hold. I think we should wait.

CASE is headed 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.

You’ll need a long-range transmitter.

Got it.

Are you charged?

Yeah.

Follow me.

TARS, 72 hours, yeah?

Roger that, Cooper.

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

But I’d be remiss, if I didn’t at least mention that a mission such as ours could certainly use an extra engineer.

You better slow down, turbo.

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 and secure those modules, my works done here.

I’m going home.

You have attachments.

But 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.

It’s not to be taken lightly.

How long have you had that cough?

A while.
