Oh, come on, Burton. Just one more klick.
7
00:00:48,291 --> 00:00:50,458
This is our closest pass
to Daedalus Patera.
8
00:00:50,541 --> 00:00:53,267
We're already past the Rover's operational
limits, and you know that...
9
00:00:53,291 --> 00:00:55,625
Look, we just drop a sensor package,
10
00:00:55,708 --> 00:00:57,666
grab a few pics, and we're gone.
11
00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:59,000

I'm reading a temperature spike.
14
00:01:03,583 --> 00:01:07,000

[Burton] Not Burton.
101
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:35,041
Look, I don't have time to figure out
102
00:05:35,125 --> 00:05:39,791
what unresolved psychological conflicts
gave rise to whatever this shit is.

Fuck. Fuck, I got to do it.
149
00:08:28,291 --> 00:08:31,000
[computer] Warning.
Mixing this drug with current biochemistry
150
00:08:31,083 --> 00:08:34,750

[heart beating]
152
00:08:36,333 --> 00:08:39,541
[Burton] Io has a core of iron
and iron sulfide.
153
00:08:39,625 --> 00:08:42,083
- What does this sound like?
- [electricity buzzing]
154
00:08:42,166 --> 00:08:44,750
[Burton] A mantle
of partially molten rock,
155
00:08:44,833 --> 00:08:46,833
Io is a sulfur-rich moon.
156
00:08:46,916 --> 00:08:49,625
- What does this sound like?
- [Martha] I don't have time for this.
157
00:08:49,708 --> 00:08:52,458
[Burton] Io's metallic core
generates a magnetic field
158
00:08:52,541 --> 00:08:55,500
connecting its own poles
with the poles of Jupiter.
159
00:08:56,125 --> 00:08:58,125
- What does this sound like?
- [Martha panting]
160
00:08:58,625 --> 00:09:01,625
- [Burton] Volcanoes emit sulfur dioxide...
- Shut the fuck up!
161
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:05,208
- ...and oxygen. What does this sound like?
- [Martha] Goddammit! Stop!
162
00:09:05,291 --> 00:09:08,059
- [Burton] Rotating field, magnetosphere.
- [suspenseful music swelling]
163
00:09:08,083 --> 00:09:10,458
[Burton] Sulfur ions, circular orbit.
164

What does this sound like?
165
00:09:14,041 --> 00:09:15,041
[Martha] It sounds...
166
00:09:16,291 --> 00:09:17,375
Sounds like...
167
00:09:19,541 --> 00:09:20,708
Like a machine.

[Burton with distorted voice]
Yes. Yes, machine.

Yes. Machine.
172
00:09:31,166 --> 00:09:33,375
I am machine.

[whooshing]
178
00:09:59,333 --> 00:10:04,708
You're saying that this moon,
Io, is a machine.
179
00:10:05,916 --> 00:10:08,625
And that machine is you.
180
00:10:08,708 --> 00:10:14,375
[Burton] "And now I see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine"
181
00:10:15,208 --> 00:10:16,083
Wordsworth.
182
00:10:16,166 --> 00:10:18,458
[Burton] Burton's brain is semi-intact.
183
00:10:18,541 --> 00:10:20,291
Language is data.
184
00:10:20,375 --> 00:10:22,625
Radio is medium.
185
00:10:22,708 --> 00:10:25,541
Sulfur is triboelectric.
186
00:10:26,125 --> 00:10:27,125
[gasps]
187
00:10:28,458 --> 00:10:29,625
That hole...
188
00:10:30,208 --> 00:10:31,708
[whooshing]
189
00:10:31,791 --> 00:10:33,250
[Martha] It's like a highway
190
00:10:34,791 --> 00:10:36,125
into her mind.
191
00:10:46,083 --> 00:10:47,083
[Martha sighs]
192
00:10:47,666 --> 00:10:48,666
I just...
193
00:10:49,833 --> 00:10:50,833
[weakly] I can't...
194
00:10:51,416 --> 00:10:53,041
[ethereal music swelling]
195
00:10:57,083 --> 00:10:58,833
[inaudible]
196
00:11:07,791 --> 00:11:12,166
[Burton] Yes, yes.
"The marble index of a mind forever..."
197
00:11:19,541 --> 00:11:22,625
Voyaging through strange eons of thought
198
00:11:23,541 --> 00:11:24,541
alone.
199
00:11:45,041 --> 00:11:46,875
[music fades]
200
00:11:47,375 --> 00:11:49,684
- [gasps, pants heavily]
- [computer] Oxygen levels critical.
201
00:11:49,708 --> 00:11:51,809
- [alarm blaring]
- [computer] Oxygen levels critical.
202
00:11:51,833 --> 00:11:53,833
- Oxygen levels critical.
- [Martha gasping]
203
00:11:53,916 --> 00:11:56,017
- [computer] Oxygen levels critical.
- [Martha coughing]
204
00:11:56,041 --> 00:11:57,833
[computer] Oxygen levels critical.
205
00:11:57,916 --> 00:11:59,458
Oxygen levels critical.
206
00:12:00,250 --> 00:12:02,250
[ominous music playing]
207
00:12:10,416 --> 00:12:11,416
[Martha gasps]
208
00:12:13,166 --> 00:12:14,416
[sizzling]
209
00:12:15,125 --> 00:12:17,125
- [electronic warbling]
- [alarm blaring]
210
00:12:18,958 --> 00:12:19,958
Io.
211
00:12:20,750 --> 00:12:21,750
Are you there?
212
00:12:23,458 --> 00:12:24,458
[Io] Yes.
213
00:12:25,125 --> 00:12:26,416
Did Burton go...
214
00:12:28,083 --> 00:12:29,083
in there?
215
00:12:29,791 --> 00:12:30,791
[Io] Yes.
216
00:12:31,250 --> 00:12:32,500
[alarm blaring]
217
00:12:32,583 --> 00:12:36,000
[computer] One minute
until critical CO2 levels reached.
218
00:12:39,416 --> 00:12:40,416
[computer beeps]
219
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:42,125
[melancholy music playing]
220
00:12:42,208 --> 00:12:43,583
[Io] Throw self in.
221
00:12:44,333 --> 00:12:47,666
Physical configuration will be destroyed.
222
00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:51,000
Neural configuration may be preserved.
223
00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:53,750
Maybe death, maybe life.
224
00:12:55,083 --> 00:12:56,166
Join with me.
225
00:12:57,208 --> 00:12:58,208
Io,
226
00:12:59,833 --> 00:13:01,333
if you're a machine,
227
00:13:03,291 --> 00:13:04,875
what is your function?
228
00:13:07,416 --> 00:13:08,666
[Io] To know you.
229
00:13:09,166 --> 00:13:10,250
[sighs]
230
00:13:12,708 --> 00:13:13,708
[computer beeps]
231
00:13:21,708 --> 00:13:23,958
Maybe I'm gonna live forever.
232
00:13:27,166 --> 00:13:29,791
Or maybe this is just one last dream
233
00:13:31,375 --> 00:13:32,541
before dying.
234
00:13:33,416 --> 00:13:35,416
[music swelling]
235
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,500
[music crescendos]
236
00:14:42,416 --> 00:14:43,583
[Martha] Earth station.
237
00:14:45,666 --> 00:14:46,666
Come in.
238
00:14:50,291 --> 00:14:52,333
This is Martha Kivelson.
239
00:14:55,625 --> 00:14:56,750
[music fades]
240
00:15:00,791 --> 00:15:02,416
