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 he blows the airlock

Nothing good

Okay, pull back Retro thrusters, everything we’ve got, CASE

Thrusters are full, back

Relay my transmission to the on board computer and have it rebroadcast as emergency PA Dr Mann

I repeat, do not open the inner hatch I repeat

Brand

I don’t know what he said to you 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 Coopers life

This is about all mankind

There is a moment

It is not s

Oh, my God

There’s no point using fuel to chase

Analyze the Endurance’s spin

Cooper, what are you doing

Docking

Endurance rotation is 67, 68 RPM

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

It’s not possible

No, it’s necessary

Endurance is hitting stratosphere

Shes got no heat shield

CASE, you ready

Ready

Cooper

This is no time for caution

CASE, if I black out, you take the stick

TARS, get ready to engage the docking mechanism

Endurance is starting to heat

Twenty feet out

I need three degrees starboard, Cooper

Ten feet out

Cooper, we are lined up

Initiating spin

Come on, TARS

Come on, TARS

We are locked, Cooper

Locked

Easing up

Easy

Easy

Retro thrusters

Main engines on

Pushing out of orbit

Come on, baby

Killing main engines

Okay, were out of orbit

Okay

And for our next trick

It’ll have to be good

Were heading into Gargantua’s pull

Oh, shit

CASE, take the stick

Roger that

Cooper, were slipping towards Gargantua

Shall I use main engines

No

We got to let her slide as far as we can

Give it to me

There’s good news, there’s bad news

Yeah, I’ve heard that one, TARS

Give it to me straight

The backup generator kicked in, so the systems stable

They’re all good

Good

Okay

The navigational hub has been completely destroyed

We don’t have enough life support to make it back to Earth but we can scratch our way to Edmunds planet

What about fuel

Not enough

But I have a plan

We let Gargantua pull us down close to her horizon

Then a powered slingshot around, launching us towards Edmunds planet

Manually

That’s what I’m here for

I’m gonna take us just inside the critical orbit

What about time slippage

Neither of us has time to worry about relativity right now, Dr Brand

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 holes gravity

The Lander’s linkages have been destroyed so well have to control manually

Once Lander 1 is spent, TARS will detach

And get sucked into that black hole

Why does TARS have to detach

We have to shed the weight to escape the gravity

Newtons third law

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

Cooper, you cant ask TARS to do this for us

He’s a robot

So you don’t have to ask him to do anything

Cooper, you asshole

Sorry, 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 just hope there’s still someone there to save
