"Five other focused signals... have communicated with the Beta object over the years." "The Gamma object is on Venus, Delta on Mercury..." "Epsilon on Europa, Zeta on the rings of Saturn... and Eta on the surface of Pluto." " It's gonna be our job to go pick these things up?" " Yes." "That is the primary goal of the Antares mission." "I'm second in command." "I need to know what's going on." "I need to know what I'm doing!" "This is history repeating itself." " We were there to pick up the Alpha object." " Launch now!" "Goss knew." "Walker knew." "Sharon knew." "Those that hear the Lord's trumpet will be saved... and those that don't will be damned." "[Maddux] As an astronaut, you expect to face the unknown."

"You have no choice but to deal with it." "Can you confirm that Sharon and Walker were pickin' one of these things up on Mars?" " Yes." " And we're goin' back to finish what they couldn't do." " Yes." " Full disclosure, Eve?" " Except for that little detail?" " Ted" "Did they even know what the hell they were doing down there on Mars... or did you keep the real mission from them too?" "They knew what we knew, which was very little back then." "[Chuckles] So we're experts now?" "We've come a long way in understanding Beta." "Yeah, yeah." "Well, it feels that way from up here." "How do we know the same thing's not gonna happen again?" "The Mars mission failed because it didn't want Walker." "I knew it then, but I didn't have the authority to shut it down." " You have that now." " Yes." "It was because of Mars... that I was given a voice on the Antares mission." "But right now, there is no evidence of a problem with Venus." "So why do you keep hiding things from us?" "How does it help to remind this crew of a horrific disaster?" "You're all dealing with so much right now, emotionally, physically" "You need to stay focused on the task at hand... and look forward, not back." "I'm trying to protect you." "I'm trying to keep you safe." "I'm concerned about the medical side effects of Beta." "The heart plaque, hallucinations." "I'd like to understand what it might do next... and share the rest of our findings with Dr. Mintz." "We need to keep medical hypotheses to a minimum... and right now Evram has to concentrate on crew psych evals." " Mike" " Surgeon." "Let's just stick to the plan." "Rollie, as first line of communication... you need to report on any unusual changes in crew behavior." " Copy that." " Changes will be subtle." "They're trained to keep their emotions in check." "And rebuilding trust may take some time." "[Maddux] So that's it?" "We're done talkin'about this?" "What do you want me to do, Donner?" "Turn this ship around and go home?" "No." "What I would like is for somebody down in Mission Control... to admit that because they kept us in the dark, we don't know what's goin' on." "We're not ready for Venus, Ted, and nobody down there even seems to care." "I do not agree with Eve's approach, Donner... but believe it or not, she does care about the success of this mission." "Is that your professional opinion, or your personal?" " Oh, you wanna talk about the truth?" " Yeah." "Well, as a husband, I'm pissed." "I'm mad as hell." "But don't you ever accuse me of letting my feelings get in the way of me doing my job." " D., I get it." "You lost Sharon." "You don't wanna lose Zoe too." " What-Where" "You are not the only one who feels guilt about what happened 10 years ago." " We all know what's at stake here." " Do we?" "You know, until we hear differently, it's all systems go." "Now, what I need from you is for you to forget about Mars right now." " Oh!" " And please forget about Sharon." "[Droning]" "Hey." "Form 24's in 10 minutes." " So, you good with Venus?"

"You know, that's a textbook symptom of cabin fever." " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah." "Day six of the last mission, I was reciting chapter three of the Cub Scout guidebook." "It was the campfire- building it, enjoying it, putting it out." " [Giggling]" " I was a lot of fun." "I'm sure you were." "Did you have a cure for cabin fever?" "Well, they say that in times of extra-orbital crisis... one helps a crewmate, uh, think of other things." " Mmm." "Things." " Mm-hmm." "You know, like... things." "Donner." "You know the rule." " That's another symptom- memory loss." " Mmm." "[Panting] You guys, very sweet... but get a room." "[Maddux] You just work out?" "Nope, but I'm about to."

" [Imitates Wind Blowing] - [Chuckles]" " Paula's thumb looks really good." " Okay." "Good enough to pilot the lander?" " Paula's busting her ass." " I didn't say she wasn't." " Check this out."

"You have no idea what I was gonna say." "You show me something new, I'll polish your Pulitzer." "Oh!" "You're a funny man, Goss, but I did have one small question." "Something along the lines of, why am I stuck doing a puff piece... on an election that half the crew are not eligible to vote in... when I.S.O. Refuses to give a reasonable explanation... for the high-security lockdown yesterday?" "Solar flare drill." "You got the memo." "Well, it seemed rather incomplete... given the trillions of dollars of public money being spent." "And what about that meeting?" "Everyone seemed a little rattled." " Makeup on your collar." " Rapid swallow." "Stress gesture." "That meeting was a standard protocol brief." "It's business as usual." "Great." "Then you'll have no problem giving me an exclusive with the Antares crew." "Rest assured, Mr. Williams, this little puff piece you're doing... is as close as you are ever gonna get to my astronauts." "You like things in order." "According to plan." "By the book." "And suddenly, with the reveal of Beta, poof- the plan has changed." "That must bother you." "That must make you feel vulnerable." "Are we done?" "I don't know." "Are we?" "Things have changed up here." "They will continue to change." "How do you feel about that?" "I feel lied to, I feel pissed, and I feel stupid." "I knew we weren't being given the whole story." "I should have called this weeks ago." "And what would you have done?" "I would have asked the question we all should be asking right now." "What is this thing, and what does it do?" "And what if they don't know?" "Don't know, or... don't want to know?" "[Chuckles]" " Your pilot's handling it well." " She will come around." "Yeah?" "Nadia Schilling's the only candidate in I.S.O. History with 137% attendance record." " I don't think she quits without a damn good reason." " Neither do you." "You really not gonna let this thing go?" "No, 'cause we're making all the same mistakes we made on Mars, Ted." "The hallucinations that Zoe's having?" "Sharon had those." "Paula's thumb?" "Remember when Walker had his health problems?" "He had the angina, he had the shortness of breath." " Beta didn't want Walker, and they didn't listen." " Maybe he doesn't want Paula." " Beta chose Paula." "It didn't injure her thumb." " Says who?" "If she's not the one, it'll let us know." "Like it did with Sharon and Walker?" "I should be piloting that lander, Ted." "Tell me you don't believe that." "What I believe is that I'm doing the right thing by letting it play out." "Now, I have to believe that." "That is all I have." " [Thunder Crashing] - [Sobbing]" "[Children's Voices]" "What's wrong?"

"You know you're gonna owe me when we get back home, right?" " Hot beer and cold pizza." " Sharon was up all night last night." "I did the manly, supportive thing, let her keep me up too." "[Chuckling] Nervous about that last walk?" "One of us is." " You talk to Goss about Walker's breathing?" " This morning." "Gave him the thumbs-up to do his own self-eval." " [Grunting] Don't worry."

" Yeah." "She passes Mintz's test this afternoon, and Paula, the big guy and I... are goin' to Venus." "You know, I can't blame her for being weird though." "Everything that's happened with her thumb?" "Oh, and by the way, there's an alien thingy on board, and guess what" " It has friends." " Donner got to you too?"

"Zoe, I can't see it." "I can't see it." "I can't hear it." "I can't see Beta." "Just thank you very much indeed." "Uh, Mr. Poe?" "Would you care to comment on the election festivities?" "People going through the motions." "Election?" "Come on." "As if they actually have a choice." "Right." "True." "Very true." "But then it's a big distraction, isn't it, from what's happening on the ship?" "I can read the faces on the floor." " Something's going on." " See, that's the thing about high security." " We're not allowed to talk about it." " "It"?" "So there is something." "Come on, Arnel!" "Six years." "Every movement, body function and thought process closely monitored." "Pressures many, rewards dubious." "Can't be easy." "They're highly skilled astronauts, Trevor." "No matter what the crisis, the Antares crew are trained, and they'll be fine."

"You gotta keep moving." "[Sharon's Voice] Donner." "We are gonna figure this out, all right?" "There's some reason for this." "Eve said it wants what it wants." "Well, then it clearly doesn't want me." "If it chose us, then maybe it made a mistake." "Maybe I'm not even supposed to be here." " That is crazy." " Is it?" "I'm a biologist." "Eve said it's organic." "If anyone should be able to see it, it's me." "It's gonna be okay." "We're gonna figure out the reason." "Did it tell you that?" "If you are meant to communicate with Beta, it will happen." "[Scoffs] And what?" "In the meantime, just shut up, grow more tomatoes?" "I mean, nobody in the crew even likes tomatoes." "It's symbolic, really." "They're sitting there in the galley, rotting away." "[Sighs] I don't understand how you are not totally freaked out by this." "L" " I don't know." "I just" " I feel really positive." "[Exhales] Wow." "Again with the "me."" "Jen, the Venus walk is in two days." "This mission, it means everything to me." "Forgive me for not berating myself for feeling positive about it." "How is it that me not seeing Beta has suddenly become about you walking on Venus?" "No, no." "I am trying to help here." "Go help Paula." "[Woman On P.A., Indistinct]" "What's up?" "Um... it's Jen." " Hallucinations?" " No, no." "Nothing like that." "She's, uh" " She's angry... and she's not talking to me, and she's fighting with Zoe." "Well- [Sighs]" "Emotional withdrawal is perfectly normal under the circumstances." "Yeah." "Well, not for us." "Not forJen." "You know, when we got married, we made a rule." "We could get angry, fight, slam doors, sulk, whatever... but three hours' time, we would come back and discuss it... try to work it out." "Or screw." "Well, are the three hours up?" "[Chuckles] No." "No, they're just starting actually." "You know, I know Jen." "She'll come around." " You're not voting?" " Think I'll pass this time." " But it's your constitutional right." " Sure." "Just like it was our choice to be part of the Antares mission." "Arnel?" "Six years of undergrad, two Ph.D.'s, five years of training." "You have to believe that there's a higher purpose in all of this." "I know you've sacrificed a lot for I.S.O. We all know that."
