One hundred percent.

Ex-mites.

It’s hard leaving everything.

My kids.

Your father.

Were going to be spending a lot of time together.

We should learn to talk.

And when not to.

Just being honest.

I don’t think you need to be that honest.

Hey, TARS, whats your honesty parameter?

Ninety percent.

Ninety percent?

Absolute honesty isn’t always the most diplomatic, nor the safest form of communication with emotional beings.

Okay.

Ninety percent it is, Dr. Brand.

We are coming up on the Endurance.

Twelve minutes out.

Okay.

Taking control.

Approaching module port, 500 meters.

Its all you, Doyle.

Nice and easy, Doyle.

Nice and easy.

I feel good.

Take us home.

Lock.

Target locked.

Well done.

Okay, helmets on.

Good job.

Never mind.

Cooper, you should have control.

Control here.

Communication with ring module active.

Oh, wow.

That’s initiate.

Are we ready to spin?

Just a sec.

Hello, CASE.

Hello, TARS.

All right, were all set.

All right, lets do it.

Heh.

Thirty percent of spin.

One G.

How’s gravity treating you back there?

Well.

Romilly?

Hey, you okay?

Yeah.

You all right?

Mm.

Yeah, I just need a minute.

We have some Dramamine in the hab pod, or maybe in the cryo-beds.

I’ll just be a sec.

Hey, Brand?

Yeah?

Bring a lot.

Amelia, be safe.

Give my regards to Dr. Mann.

I will, Dad.

It looks good for your trajectory.

We’ve calculated two years to Saturn.

That’s a lot of Dramamine.

Look after my family, will you, please, sir?

Well be waiting for you when you get back.

A little older, a little wiser, but happy to see you.

Do not go gentle into that good night

Old age should burn and rave at close of day

Rage, rage against the dying of the light

Though wise men at their end Know dark is right

Because their words had forked No lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night

Rage, rage against the dying of the light

You good?

Yeah.

Okay, thank you.

Here.

Pills.

So alone.

We have each other.

Dr. Mann had it worse.

No, I mean them.

Hm?

Its a perfect planet, and we wont find another one like her.

No, its not like looking for a new condo.

The human race is going to be desperate for a rock it can cling to while it catches its breath.

We need to find that rock.

And our three prospects are at the edge of what might sustain human life.

Laura Millers planet is first.

Laura started our biology program.

Mm-hm.

Uh, Wolf Edmunds is here.

Tell me about Edmunds.

Oh, uh, Wolfs a particle physicist.

None of them had families, huh?

No.

No attachments, my father insisted.

They all knew the odds against ever seeing another human being again.

I’m hoping we can surprise at least three of them.

How about Mann?

Dr. Mann?

Hes remarkable.

Hes the best of us.

He inspired 11 people to follow him on the loneliest journey in human history.

Scientists, explorers.

That’s what I love.

You know, out there we face great odds.

Death, but not evil.

You don’t think nature can be evil?

No.

Formidable.

Frightening.

But

no, not evil.

Is a lion evil because it rips a gazelle to shreds?

Just what we take with us, then.

Yeah.

This crew represents the best of humanity.

Even me, huh?

You know what?

We agreed, 90 percent.

There you go.

Don’t stay up.

I’ll be there in a minute.

Just remember, Coop, you are literally wasting your breath.

Hey, TARS?

Let’s go over that trajectory one more time.

Eight months to Mars.

Counter-orbital slingshot around.

Fourteen months to Saturn.

Nothings changed on that.

Just let me ask you something.

Dr. Brand and Edmunds

Why are you whispering?

They cant hear you.

Dr. Brand and Edmunds, they close?

I wouldn’t know.

Is that 90 percent wouldn’t know or 10 percent wouldn’t know?

I also have a discretion setting, Cooper.

Aah.

But not a poker face, Slick.
