1
00:00:43,751 --> 00:00:45,501
About time
we head back to the lander.
2
00:00:45,584 --> 00:00:48,251
Oh, come on, Burton. Just one more klick.
3
00:00:48,334 --> 00:00:50,501
This is our closest pass
to Daedalus Patera.
4
00:00:50,584 --> 00:00:53,251
We're already past the Rover's operational
limits, and you know that--
5
00:00:53,334 --> 00:00:55,668
Look, we just drop a sensor package,
6
00:00:55,751 --> 00:00:57,709
grab a few pics, and we're gone.
7
00:00:57,793 --> 00:00:59,043
-Okay?
8
00:00:59,126 --> 00:01:01,043
-Oh, hold on.
9
00:01:01,126 --> 00:01:02,834
I'm reading a temperature spike.
10
00:01:03,626 --> 00:01:07,043
Let me check the rear sensors.
Might be a sulfur eruption brewing.
11
00:01:17,043 --> 00:01:18,293
Shit!
12
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,418
-Burton! Strap in!
13
00:02:08,334 --> 00:02:10,001
Burton?
14
00:02:10,084 --> 00:02:12,793
Burton, can you hear me?
15
00:02:16,501 --> 00:02:17,334
Hold on.
16
00:02:18,043 --> 00:02:18,918
Hold on.
17
00:02:19,001 --> 00:02:20,459
Okay. Okay.
18
00:02:21,043 --> 00:02:22,209
Okay.
19
00:02:30,376 --> 00:02:31,293
Oh.
20
00:02:32,459 --> 00:02:33,293
Okay.
21
00:02:35,834 --> 00:02:37,376
Oh fuck.
22
00:02:38,501 --> 00:02:39,459
Oh.
23
00:02:42,126 --> 00:02:44,209
This is Martha Kivelson.
24
00:02:45,043 --> 00:02:46,918
Io Expeditionary Mission.
25
00:02:47,418 --> 00:02:49,334
Do you read, Orbital?
26
00:02:50,376 --> 00:02:51,793
Come in, Orbital.
27
00:02:51,876 --> 00:02:55,751
Comm sync lost.
Next Orbital sync window, 12 hours.
28
00:02:55,834 --> 00:02:56,668
Shit.
29
00:03:01,209 --> 00:03:03,584
41 kilometers remaining.
30
00:03:03,668 --> 00:03:05,501
-What?
-Oxygen levels low.
31
00:03:05,584 --> 00:03:08,793
-Oh shit. Fuck! Fuck, fuck!
-System damage detected.
32
00:03:08,876 --> 00:03:11,834
Six minutes
until critical CO2 levels reached.
33
00:03:23,126 --> 00:03:26,418
One minute
until critical CO2 levels reached.
34
00:03:29,334 --> 00:03:32,168
-Oxygen level stable.
35
00:03:36,084 --> 00:03:37,959
-Sorry, Burton.
36
00:04:28,126 --> 00:04:29,168
Yes, yes, yes.
37
00:04:29,251 --> 00:04:31,334
Warning.
Use may cause side effects,
38
00:04:31,418 --> 00:04:33,668
including loss of motor function,
hallucinations, euphoria…
39
00:04:33,751 --> 00:04:35,543
If I don't make it, better to die high.
40
00:04:52,376 --> 00:04:53,959
Hello.
41
00:04:54,793 --> 00:04:55,626
Orbital?
42
00:04:56,834 --> 00:04:58,668
-Come in, Orbital.
43
00:04:59,293 --> 00:05:01,251
Hello…
44
00:05:09,418 --> 00:05:10,376
Okay.
45
00:05:11,501 --> 00:05:12,418
Oh.
46
00:05:14,418 --> 00:05:15,668
Okay.
47
00:05:16,376 --> 00:05:17,209
Just…
48
00:05:18,084 --> 00:05:18,918
making sure.
49
00:05:24,626 --> 00:05:27,334
Martha Kivelson.
50
00:05:27,418 --> 00:05:29,501
You're dead, Burton. Stop it. Okay?
51
00:05:30,126 --> 00:05:31,459
Not Burton.
52
00:05:31,543 --> 00:05:35,084
Look, I don't have time to figure out
53
00:05:35,168 --> 00:05:39,834
what unresolved psychological conflicts
gave rise to whatever this shit is.
54
00:05:39,918 --> 00:05:40,876
Okay?
55
00:05:41,793 --> 00:05:43,834
I gotta keep it together.
56
00:05:45,001 --> 00:05:46,709
Fucking hallucination.
57
00:05:49,584 --> 00:05:51,001
Wake up.
58
00:05:52,084 --> 00:05:53,709
-Wake up.
59
00:06:03,084 --> 00:06:04,793
Fuck. Fuck!
60
00:06:04,876 --> 00:06:07,709
- 33 kilometers remaining…
-I'm not moving fast enough.
61
00:06:07,793 --> 00:06:13,334
"Oh sleep! It is a gentle thing
Beloved from pole to pole!" Coleridge.
62
00:06:13,918 --> 00:06:14,959
Poetry now?
63
00:06:15,709 --> 00:06:17,959
Ugh. I thought I told you to shut up.
64
00:06:19,626 --> 00:06:22,876
"Who spilled these stars
Across the sky
65
00:06:22,959 --> 00:06:26,251
Like sparkling dust, like clouds of light
66
00:06:26,876 --> 00:06:30,959
They pour their milky shine
Into the deep black bowl"
67
00:06:31,043 --> 00:06:33,668
Can't you see I'm busy not dying here?
68
00:06:34,293 --> 00:06:38,084
Yes. I'm trying to communicate.
69
00:06:41,876 --> 00:06:45,251
"I was the world
In which I walked and what I saw
70
00:06:45,334 --> 00:06:48,918
Or heard or felt came not but from myself"
71
00:06:51,584 --> 00:06:52,918
Wallace Stevens.
72
00:06:53,834 --> 00:06:54,709
Nice choice.
73
00:07:23,501 --> 00:07:25,626
What the fuck?
74
00:07:55,459 --> 00:07:56,668
Martha.
75
00:07:57,251 --> 00:07:58,084
Martha!
76
00:08:05,709 --> 00:08:06,584
Okay.
77
00:08:07,459 --> 00:08:11,501
One more step.
78
00:08:12,501 --> 00:08:14,459
One more…
79
00:08:15,293 --> 00:08:16,584
step.
80
00:08:20,209 --> 00:08:23,418
-14 kilometers remaining.
-I'm not… Oh fuck.
81
00:08:23,501 --> 00:08:24,626
I'm not gonna make it.
82
00:08:25,543 --> 00:08:27,376
Fuck. Fuck, I got to do it.
83
00:08:28,334 --> 00:08:31,043
Warning.
Mixing this drug with current biochemistry
84
00:08:31,126 --> 00:08:34,793
may result in paranoia,
psychosis and hypomania.
85
00:08:36,376 --> 00:08:39,584
Io has a core of iron
and iron sulfide.
86
00:08:39,668 --> 00:08:42,126
-What does this sound like?
87
00:08:42,209 --> 00:08:44,793
A mantle
of partially molten rock,
88
00:08:44,876 --> 00:08:46,876
Io is a sulfur-rich moon.
89
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:49,668
-What does this sound like?
-I don't have time for this.
90
00:08:49,751 --> 00:08:52,501
Io's metallic core
generates a magnetic field
91
00:08:52,584 --> 00:08:55,543
connecting its own poles
with the poles of Jupiter.
92
00:08:56,168 --> 00:08:58,168
-What does this sound like?
93
00:08:58,668 --> 00:09:01,668
- Volcanoes emit sulfur dioxide…
-Shut the fuck up!
94
00:09:01,751 --> 00:09:05,251
-…and oxygen. What does this sound like?
-Goddammit! Stop!
95
00:09:05,334 --> 00:09:08,043
-Rotating field, magnetosphere.
96
00:09:08,126 --> 00:09:10,501
Sulfur ions, circular orbit.
97
00:09:10,584 --> 00:09:13,501
What does this sound like?
98
00:09:14,084 --> 00:09:15,043
It sounds…
99
00:09:16,334 --> 00:09:17,418
Sounds like…
100
00:09:19,584 --> 00:09:20,751
Like a machine.
101
00:09:26,209 --> 00:09:28,626
Yes. Yes, machine.
102
00:09:29,459 --> 00:09:31,126
Yes. Machine.
103
00:09:31,209 --> 00:09:33,418
I am machine.
104
00:09:41,584 --> 00:09:43,751
Look at me.
105
00:09:59,376 --> 00:10:04,751
You're saying that this moon,
Io, is a machine.
106
00:10:05,959 --> 00:10:08,668
And that machine is you.
107
00:10:08,751 --> 00:10:14,418
"And now I see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine"
108
00:10:15,251 --> 00:10:16,126
Wordsworth.
109
00:10:16,209 --> 00:10:18,501
Burton's brain is semi-intact.
110
00:10:18,584 --> 00:10:20,334
Language is data.
111
00:10:20,418 --> 00:10:22,668
Radio is medium.
112
00:10:22,751 --> 00:10:25,584
Sulfur is triboelectric.
113
00:10:28,501 --> 00:10:29,668
That hole…
114
00:10:31,834 --> 00:10:33,293
It's like a highway
115
00:10:34,834 --> 00:10:36,168
into her mind.
116
00:10:47,709 --> 00:10:48,543
I just…
117
00:10:49,876 --> 00:10:50,793
I can't…
118
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:12,209
Yes, yes.
"The marble index of a mind forever…"
119
00:11:19,584 --> 00:11:22,668
Voyaging through strange eons of thought
120
00:11:23,584 --> 00:11:24,418
alone.
121
00:11:47,418 --> 00:11:49,668
-Oxygen levels critical.
122
00:11:49,751 --> 00:11:51,793
-Oxygen levels critical.
123
00:11:51,876 --> 00:11:53,876
-Oxygen levels critical.
124
00:11:53,959 --> 00:11:56,001
-Oxygen levels critical.
125
00:11:56,084 --> 00:11:57,876
Oxygen levels critical.
126
00:11:57,959 --> 00:11:59,501
Oxygen levels critical.
127
00:12:19,001 --> 00:12:19,834
Io.
128
00:12:20,793 --> 00:12:21,751
Are you there?
129
00:12:23,501 --> 00:12:24,334
Yes.
130
00:12:25,168 --> 00:12:26,459
Did Burton go…
131
00:12:28,126 --> 00:12:28,959
in there?
132
00:12:29,834 --> 00:12:30,668
Yes.
133
00:12:32,626 --> 00:12:36,043
One minute
until critical CO2 levels reached.
134
00:12:42,251 --> 00:12:43,626
Throw self in.
135
00:12:44,376 --> 00:12:47,709
Physical configuration will be destroyed.
136
00:12:47,793 --> 00:12:51,043
Neural configuration may be preserved.
137
00:12:51,543 --> 00:12:53,793
Maybe death, maybe life.
138
00:12:55,126 --> 00:12:56,209
Join with me.
139
00:12:57,251 --> 00:12:58,084
Io,
140
00:12:59,876 --> 00:13:01,376
if you're a machine,
141
00:13:03,334 --> 00:13:04,918
what is your function?
142
00:13:07,459 --> 00:13:08,709
To know you.
143
00:13:21,751 --> 00:13:24,001
Maybe I'm gonna live forever.
144
00:13:27,209 --> 00:13:29,834
Or maybe this is just one last dream
145
00:13:31,418 --> 00:13:32,584
before dying.
146
00:14:42,459 --> 00:14:43,626
Earth station.
147
00:14:45,709 --> 00:14:46,709
Come in.
148
00:14:50,334 --> 00:14:52,376
This is Martha Kivelson.
