One by one they’ve been peeling off the fields and heading over.

Somethings interfering with the compass.

Magnetism or some such.

Nothing special about which book.

I’ve been working on it, like you said.

I counted the spaces.

Why?

In case the ghost is trying to communicate.

I’m trying Morse.

Morse?

Yeah.

Dots and dashes, used

I know what Morse code is, Murph.

I just don’t think your book shelf’s trying to talk to you.

Had to reset every compass clock and GPS to offset for the anomaly.

Which is?

I don’t know.

If the house was built on magnetic or we’d have seen this the first time we switched on the tractor.

I hear your meeting at the school didn’t go so well.

You heard?

Its like we’ve forgotten who we are, Donald.

Explorers, pioneers, not caretakers.

When I was a kid it felt like they made something new every day.

Some gadget or idea.

Like every day was Christmas.

But six billion people just try to imagine that.

And every last one of them trying to have it all.

This world isn’t so bad.

And Tom will do just fine.

You’re the one who doesn’t belong.

Born 40 years too late, or 40 years too early.

My daughter knew it, God bless her.

And your kids know it.

Especially Murph.

Well, we used to look up in the sky and wonder at our place in the stars.

Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt.

Cooper, you were good at something and you never got a chance to do anything with it.

I’m sorry.

You didn’t expect this dirt that was giving you this food to turn on you like that and destroy you.

In April I believe I’m right Fifteenth of April, I think.

This happened about 1:30 when that thing came off the top of that canyon.

In my day, we had real ballplayers.

Who are these bums?

In my day, people were too busy fighting over food to even play baseball.

Popcorn at a ballgame is unnatural.

I want a hot dog.

School says you’re gonna follow in my footsteps.

I think that’s great.

You think that’s great?

You hate farming, Dad.

Grandpa said.

Grandpa said, huh?

Listen, all that matters is how you feel about it.

I like what you do.

I like our farm.

You’re gonna be great at it.

Let’s get out of here.

All right, it’s a doozy.

All right, gang, let’s mask up.

Tom?

Murph?

Check?

Yeah.

Murph, Tom, you guys shut your windows?

Murph?

The ghost.

Grab your pillow.

You’re sleeping in with Tom.

It’s not a ghost.

It’s gravity.

I’m dropping Tom, then heading to town.

You want to clean that up when you’ve finished praying to it?

It’s not Morse, Murph.

It’s binary.

Thick is one, thin is zero.

Coordinates.

Nope.

Here we go.

Thirty-three.

That’s it.

I cant miss this!

Grandpa will be back in a couple hours, Murph.

But you don’t know what you’re gonna find.

And that is why I can’t take you.

Murph?

Grandpa will be home in a while.

Tell him I’ll call him on the radio.

Aah!

Jesus.

What are you doing?

Oh, you think this is funny?

Huh?

You wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for me.

Make yourself useful.
