Shatner: Previously on "stars on mars"...
I am going to be base commander.
I'm not living in this hab another day with certain people.
- Are you ( bleep ) kidding me? - The long game here is brutal.
Ronda: I just miss my little baby so much.
Ai: Emergency. Hab breach.
Your oxygen levels are plummeting rapidly.
- Let's plug these holes! - Paul: It was definitely harder than it looked, man.
Welcome to mars, bitches.
If I'm bc, there's no way either of you
Are in the bottom three.
Ai: Ashley, you are not mission critical.
- I'm sorry, girl. - Thanks for coming to mars.
I think I expected more from myself.
Shatner: Tonight...
Ronda: I did not think I would come to mars
And have marshawn lynch being my bfffff.
I am sorry. I think when you piss off cat cora, she stays pissed off.
I think it's ( bleep ).
I'm super disappointed, and I'm not gonna lie, a little pissed.
- ( siren wailing ) - ai: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
You're all going to d-d-die.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
- Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. - Oh, no.
- What the hell is this? - Adam and I are going to die. No horseplay.
Our fate is in the hands of all these other people.
We fail, that means I think maybe you and I go home.
These new people have no idea.
Dang, you struggling out here. This how you break down?
Marshawn: I'm finna break out.
I think you got a couple dreads missing on this side.
- Ah, ah, ah. - Look, there you go.
- No, no, no. - "ah, ah, ah!"
( laughing )
- Just drip it on. - Aw, you outta pocket.
You hella scammers, bruh.
And you got smelling like hella old-ass chicken grease, bruh.
This is andy richter, sol day 11.
Had my first full day of this.
Well, it's always easier for the second wave of colonizers.
You know, everybody here but cat and paul and I, they've all been here,
And they have this kind of grizzled veteran kind of aspect to them.
- Hi. - Good morning.
We're coming in all kind of fresh and foxy, ready to go.
All right, there we go.
Now, see that'd be good to fry some eggs up in.
Hey, ai, can we get eggs?
I know you're listening 'cause you're a creep.
Ai: Adding eggs to shopping basket.
Launch window confirmed.
Estimated delivery in 212 days.
This feels like we're on vacation with a bunch of people.
- Exactly. I know. - This is like a hotel.
All we need is an omelet station.
Yeah, definitely gonna be missing an omelet station.
I have to say, I'm very close to my compadres that came over with me.
Paul and andy-- you know, I've known andy from the past.
I just think he is just a big teddy bear.
I love both of them. They're my posse.
So of course I had a lot of loyalty to them,
And I know that together
We're gonna stick it all the way through the end.
Oh, I wanna stay as long as I can.
Yeah, it's been like an experience you'll not ever have again.
Absolutely.
- Morning. - Morning.
- How are you? Good. - I'm good.
- Did you work out this morning? - I did a little bit.
Did it help you clear your mind a little bit?
I did have a little bit of a sadness workout,
Because, yeah, it's hard to know what to do at this point,
Especially now we have an iron chef
And everything is so turned around.
It's, like, I feel like we've never been more tight-knit and closer
- And in sync as a family. - Yeah, that's true.
But I've never been more obligated to go.
- Yeah. - Ronda: I mean, like every kid,
I wanted to be an astronaut.
This is the closest I'll ever get to it,
But there's a part of me that just wants to get home
To my kids and my husband as quick as possible.
I'm so torn on the inside now, you know?
The prideful wants to see this all the way through.
It's 1,000% a mental experiment.
I don't want you to leave, I'm telling you.
But, I mean, I get it. You can't say for sure
Because now there's too many different variables.
- Yeah. - I think the long term goal
Is to conquer, you know, be the last one standing,
But in the interim, I think we just gotta take it day by day.
- Yeah. Day by day. - So day by day.
Porsha: I can totally see why she's kind of torn and what she wants to do.
The fact that we have been gone this many days
And we have no contact virtually with earth,
It's sacrifice, it's endurance.
- Okay. - Make peace with whatever you decide.
Oh, thank you. I appreciate it.
- I love you. - I love you, too.
We'll see what kind of ( bleep ) show we get into today.
Oh, no! That's not fair! You cannot just judge it from today!
- ( sighs ) - why you put yourself through this?
What? I'm just warming up, bro.
This is your whole life though. You need to be relaxing.
- I am relaxed. - This is relaxed, huh?
- It's the warm-up. - Paul: As newbies,
I think we're bringing them some new life, some new energy.
But it's a competitive group. It's gonna be tough
Trying to figure out how to really fit in.
What is she-- what is-- what?
- Lance: I know. - What is going on?
- It's good to be young. - Tinashe: I'm stretching my back!
Gotta stay limber, you know?
- Damn. - Yeah.
I can do that ( bleep ). Let me see. Let me see.
Tinashe: We're trying to balance all these new energies with all the old energies.
- I used to be an athlete. - ( laughs )
All right, let me see.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay! - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
But I feel very protective over my friends
Who had been here already.
We have been through it all. We have lasted this long.
- Oh, my god. - And some of these new people
Just don't really know what to expect.
- Adam: That is yours. - Ronda: Okay.
( sighs )
- ( laughs ) - what a weird thing.
- Right? - Yeah.
- What? - Both: This!
I've never felt more conflicted about being here.
- It's surreal. - It is surreal.
Ronda: I'm not the most social person,
And I have my own anxieties about being around new people.
In fact, I was most afraid and intimidated
By the social aspect of being here,
And now it's become the main reason why I wanna stay.
Well, two of my favorite people.
- Oh. - Oh, hey.
Someone's a little ( bleep ) stirrer right now.
- Somebody's stirring. - That's a good one, that's a good one!
Adam: Andy is a breath of fresh air
- 'cause andy gets stuff done. - You mean like this?
- Yeah. - Yes, yes.
It's a household, and ( bleep )'s gotta get done.
I reserve my judgment for the people that don't contribute.
- I squash flies. - You contribute plenty.
You are like the oxygen in this place.
On mars it's so valuable.
No, honey, you are so fantastic. You are such a bright light.
Adam: You know, I'm really impressed with andy.
He just gets along with everyone in the hab
And I think that that's such a great strategy in this experiment.
Honestly, he's playing this right.
( siren wailing )
Oh, ( bleep ), man. What's up?
Is the emergency there's so much damn good food and it needs to be eaten?
- Ai: Incoming message. - Are we all here?
Yeah, we're here.
Ai: Attention, all crew.
( stuttering ) it is time to choose a new base c-c-commander.
- Oh, base commander. - ( laughs )
With us being so deep into this experiment,
It'll be interesting to see if anyone is able to exhibit leadership
And take on that role. Let's do this.
How's everybody's body feeling?
We've been in the field. Does anybody feel like they need a break?
I wanna go out in the field because I just want to again.
Yeah, okay.
Lance, you've been out there every single day.
- How you feeling? - No, no, I'm going outside.
- You wanna-- okay. - Porsha: Ooh, all right.
- You going outside again? - Every chance.
I don't wanna be base commander. I like being outside.
- I'm going out. - Eventually you have to do it.
- Yeah, eventually, yeah. - I would do it.
There's a part of me that's kind of sneaky and competitive
That would love to beat the competitive people.
I will say that andy has a lot of experience being heard
When a lot of people are talking.
- I vote for andy. - ( laughs )
Yeah, andy would be good.
Yeah, I think andy would be great.
- All right, andy! - Congratulations, andy!
- Good job. - I did it. I did it.
Yes, you did!
I'm the base commander, bitch.
That was his goal the whole time.
I'm really happy that andy's base commander,
And one of us newbies was in charge.
He has my back. I think he'll be a great leader, too.
- See, ma? I'm not a loser! - ( laughter )
Being the boss is fantastic, and it's also an honor.
You know, it's genuinely flattering
And touching and meaningful
How accepted I feel by these people.
Shatner: Coming up...
- Emergency! - Ai: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
There's all this code, and then there's random sentences.
The hab ai has been infected with a virus.
Ai: You are all going to die.
What the ( bleep ) is going on?
It's time for another tough decision.
- ( bleep ) - I'm sorry.
I thought it was ( bleep ).
Paul: No, I gotta see the clock.
Ready, set, go.
- Our butt is too high. - All right.
- ( humming ) - flatten your butt.
Paul was like, "let's do a plank competition."
And I'm like, "competition? Yeah!"
All right. I'm just making sure.
Ay, tinashe! She's gonna beat us all.
When paul came in the door, he came in with a lot of energy,
- And so competitive. - Watch your butt, paul.
- I can go for ten minutes. - Watch your butt, paul.
- Both: Ten minutes? - Yeah, so y'all might as well just quit now.
- Oh, man. - I think I gotta keep my eye on paul.
I don't know what he's about yet.
You know? Maybe he's trying to play games.
- Oh, I can't go no more. - ( all cheering )
- I didn't think y'all could do two minutes. - Ten minutes?
I knew he lied. I knew he lied.
I was trying to scare y'all to stop.
You know how long ten minutes is?
I knew you were trying to play mind games with me.
I'm like, nope.
I will beat paul pierce
In a plank-off any day of my life.
Ai: Base commander, it is time to assign the base duties.
Let's meet up around the command center!
- Yes, base commander! - All right.
Andy: Hi, marshawn!
All right, we're just waiting on porsha.
- Ay! - She's coming!
( laughter )
- Yeah, there you go. - She made it.
- Sometimes you need somebody to carry you in.
- That's right. That's right. - Thank you.
- You need to feel like a little lady sometimes. - Thank you. Teamwork.
- Thanks, team. - Okay, guys, it's sol day 11.
Mars is closer to heaven. We have a hab job.
There are supplies in a pelican case
From the resupply left behind,
And you need to go and locate it.
Unlike earth, mars does not have magnetic fields,
So you will not be able to use a compass.
Mars also doesn't have google maps.
So please follow the included instructions.
And just to get the newer people with some outside experience,
- I'm gonna have cat and paul do that. - All right.
So y'all can get out and kinda do a mission together.
Awesome, yeah. Sounds good.
It's great that andy's come through for paul and I.
Us newbies, we're gonna stick together,
And I think that having andy be base commander,
- You know, we actually have a leg up. - And that's it.
Thanks, base commander.
- Thank you. - Thanks, base commander.
- All right, guys! - Thank you, commander.
Fun day! Have fun out there.
Terrible.
I'm happy to be base commander,
But I'm still new to this,
So I don't really know my way around.
Anything else I should know?
Okay, so your duties, things to do,
Write down everyone's names
And what you think their specialties are.
It is so important.
Ariel takes this game and this situation very seriously.
She wants things to be a certain way.
She's a very particular person.
- Yeah. - So anyway...
Andy, always great vibe. Paul, great vibe.
But these new people have no idea.
Write down everything that's on that screen.
Again, not everything, but bullet points of the very important parts.
Order of operations. Put them in order.
I will. Thank you.
- You're gonna be great at it. - I appreciate all the help.
It's the job I'm best at.
Cat: Man, this is desolate out here.
- There is nothing. - This is wild.
Ai: Cat and paul,
A case of vital supplies was lost when you crash landed on mars.
Hab reentry will occur when you have located the case.
How much more we got?
According to the map, we've walked 1,000 feet.
Another 60 feet to go that way.
Coming to the experiment halfway through
I think gives me an advantage.
Everyone else is tired. They've had some missions.
You know, I'm coming in fresh.
Here we go. One, two, three, four, five, six.
They better be some steaks and lobsters or something.
Hope so, too.
18, 19, 20.
Paul: I'm hoping this gonna be some good food
Because the last-- we brought in some cases with good food.
I'm thinking maybe we drop some more wings or some steaks.
We walked out here and it's hot,
Spacesuit on, my shoulders hurting,
My back is hurting, feet hurting.
Wait, wait, wait. 60 feet. So we gotta look around.
I see it! I see it!
Where?
It's in there. Dig under them rocks.
( grunting )
There better be something in here.
All right, let me see. Let me see.
Something we can actually use.
Okay, we got something. What is this?
- What is that? - Oh, my gosh. Are you kidding?
- This your stuff. - Oh, yes!
- Thank you, god! - This your manicure and pedicure stuff?
Cat: Yeah, pedicure, manicure.
Here, I promise I'll give you a pedicure. Let's go.
Come on.
I'm getting a pedicure right now.
I'm not leaving. You can go ahead.
- Oh, my god. - Let's do this.
Paul: You knew exactly what was in here. I know you did.
- Well, I was hoping. - You knew it wasn't no damn steaks.
( cat laughs )
Paul: Never again, cat. Never again. Oh, my gosh.
You gonna put your legs around my neck?
Not around your neck. Just on top.
I love marshawn. He's totally become my thunder buddy.
I did not think I would come to mars
And leave with marshawn lynch being my bfffff.
- ( squeals ) - ( laughing )
No, no, no, no, you said only your arms!
- No, 'cause you-- - ( static, beeping )
He's just like chicken soup for my soul,
And I don't think I'd be able to deal in the hab without him.
Uh, five minutes is a round.
- ( laughs ) - aah! I got him out! I got him out!
( shouting )
- Nuh-uh. I had you. - Unh-uh!
You hella fun.
Oh, I can't wait to get this back to the hab.
Oh, gosh.
Spa day. I see it coming on mars.
( static, beeping )
Ronda: Ever heard of zoochosis?
It's basically animals in the zoo where they just start pacing
- And don't know what to do anymore. - Cat: Okay.
Open up, open up.
- ( beeping ) - ( siren wailing )
What is happening right now? We-- no clue.
- It's an emergency! - Open up.
There's a malfunction. Let us in.
- ( siren wailing ) - uh-oh.
Adam: Emergency!
- Andy: Emergency. - I'm coming.
Kids, gather by daddy's desk.
( siren wailing )
Cat: Paul and I went out on our first field trip,
And we were locked out. We couldn't get in the hab.
What's up?
We have no clue what's happening.
Who the ( bleep ) is that?
Ronda: A virus! Oh, no!
- We've been taken over by a-- - aah!
A virus has come for us!
It seems as if there's this virus
That's taken over the ai in the hab.
I don't think it's a good thing.
Ai: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
The "ha, ha, ha, ha, ha," that was awesome.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
That laugh was like, "ha, ha, ha, ha."
This is going so fast.
Is there a way we can slow it down?
You're not supposed to read that.
It was a little scary and unnerving.
Open up. There's a malfunction. Let us in.
- What the hell is this? - There's all this code and then there's random sentences.
- So I don't know. - Ai: You are all going to d-d-die.
You are all going to d-d-die.
"you are going to die," that's what she said.
Base commander, your mission briefing is inside the airlock.
It's time to choose your mission specialist.
Andy: I mean, I knew I needed to pick somebody
Who'd been here already,
Somebody that knows their way around these things,
And somebody that was competent.
So, in my mind, that would've been adam,
Ariel, or tinashe.
Adam, let's go.
Let's go.
And adam and I just have the best rapport.
Get 'em! Get' em!
Adam: Hell yeah.
When you're the mission specialist,
Obviously you wanna be part of a successful mission.
But there's another part of you going, "oh, my god, thank god.
I'm gonna get a free pass if this goes well,
And I'm not going home.
I can stay in my little red tracksuit."
Ai: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Porsha: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
- ( locks sealing ) - airlock sealed.
- Oh. - Forever.
You are all going to d-d-die.
Oh, no. What if it's system error,
And we have to figure out how to get these back up and running
- And they can't get in? - Oh.
Do we go back in or do we go somewhere else?
Incoming message from mission control.
Shatty daddy.
Attention, crew, we don't have much time, so listen closely.
The hab ai cannot be trusted.
It has already trapped crewmembers in the airlock.
Who knows what it'll do next?
The hab ai could sabotage the entire mission if you don't act fast.
I've managed to get this message through,
But I'm afraid it's listening.
It's listening somewhere.
You must reset the ai software.
Your base commander has all the information you need.
This mission will test your intelligence
And it'll earn a mission patch.
Act quickly. Reset the ai, rescue the crewmembers,
Save the mission!
Good luck!
- Copy. - Ariel: That's where paul and cat are?
- Yep. - This is horrible for them.
Yeah, the ai was tripping.
The ai can take our air supply.
Ai can turn off our electricity.
We don't need a haywire ai.
We need ai working like it's supposed to work.
This is the exciting.
The ai can't be trusted though,
So the ai voice of god could be the voice of the devil.
- Yeah, we heard it. - Yeah.
I want the intelligence patch
Because I deserve the intelligence patch, all right?
I am not just beauty, honey. I am brains as well.
May we come back in, please?
Ai: I'm s-s-sorry, andy.
I'm afraid I can't do that.
What the ( bleep ) is going on?
Ai: Your base commander and mission specialist
Are now sealed in the airlock.
In one hour, the external door will open,
Exposing them to the deadly mars atmosphere.
Oh!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
- Got it. We got it. Yes. - All right.
Well, I wish I'd known. I would've brought my water.
Now that the ai has a virus, we have to manually reboot
To get this hab back in order.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Andy: I'm here to do this ridiculous experiment,
And now adam and I are going to die.
We're going to be stuck in the airlock, we're gonna lose oxygen,
We're gonna die.
And the captain goes down with his ship and all that,
So I need to be in charge of it.
I wanna be the one behind the steering wheel.
We fail, that means I think maybe you and I go home.
Well, I don't, because I'm the mission specialist, which is safe. Yeah.
- Yeah. - Well, mission specialist
Honestly seems like the cushiest gig of all
Because the captain's right hand man gets to get on a lifeboat
And get away from the ship while the captain sinks with it.
And as I was talking about it with adam,
I realize that he is playing this game
And thinking about it in terms of maneuvering his way
Into being the last one here.
I hope I don't die of poisonous mars atmosphere.
It would be such a weird way to go out.
The ai has a virus and has locked andy and I in the airlock.
And now we have exactly one hour
Before the hab is going to open the exterior locker door
And let in all that mars atmosphere,
And we can't breathe that.
So we have to ask our crewmembers to save us
By doing different tasks to manually reboot the ai.
Okay, guys, we got three different ways that we can overcome this thing,
And we can do them concurrently.
So the first thing we're gonna do is there's a bike crew,
And that is ronda, marshawn, and lance, surprise, surprise.
It's like choosing a guitar challenge and having eddie van halen here.
The bike crew must try to manually override the system
By riding the bike for 20 miles before the time runs out.
- The second one, it's you, cat, and paul. - Yes.
You guys are going to locate two panel boxes
Around the hab exterior
And open them by unscrewing the panel box covers.
Within each panel box is a switch in order to reboot the system.
- Got it, okay. - All right.
The remaining three of you,
Tinashe, porsha, and ariel,
You guys are going to play a keyboard instrument game
With the hab ai.
There will be a series of colors that flash on the screen
Accompanied by musical notes.
The crew needs to use the keys on the keyboard
To match the correct color combination
And musical notes of a familiar song
- To solve the game. - Copy.
Andy: And again, anyone of the them succeeding within the hour
Will save me and adam.
- And, come on, who doesn't want us? - We got your back.
- Copy. - Let's do it.
Everybody ready? Go!
- Get your lance armstrong on, baby. - Now let's download it.
- ( notes chiming ) - green...
Adam: Each team must be mission critical,
Because if not, one of them might be going home today.
So I'll go three or four miles, and then you go.
- Ronda: Okay. - Marshawn: No, you got 20 miles,
- And then we'll go. - Andy: Hey, lance, you're good at riding bikes.
- ( notes chiming ) - there's green, pink, brown,
Red, blue, and yellow in use.
Andy: Their mission with that keyboard,
It's like simon says.
It's like that old electronic game
Where you just have to mimic colors and tones.
You can write out the order, but then associating it with certain keys
Will be the next step of the code that we have to crack.
- Okay, this is orange. - Give me an o.
- Here. - Yellow.
- Okay, yellow. - Tinashe: We were off to a really great start
Once we figured out which colors were associated with which musical notes.
Both: Pink.
Green. Red.
- All right, we need the tools. - Tools? Let's see.
- Can you open it? - Yeah.
All right, here we go.
All right.
This looks like a panel right there.
- This is it, right? - Yeah, this is it.
We gotta do all these? Holy ( bleep ).
Hey, you want me to do the unscrewing and you find the other box?
Yeah, I'll go get the other box. You start doing that.
All right. Jeez.
All right, I know where it is, so I'm gonna come back around.
It was just, you know, agonizing.
But paul and I are the newbies,
And this is an opportunity to embrace a challenge
Because we wanna be mission critical
And not be in the bottom three.
Oh, gosh. Is this for real?
Let me go, bro.
Lance: We sort of rotated.
I would do two miles, marshawn a mile, ronda a mile.
There we are.
- Let's go, dawg. - Got you.
Ronda: Of course, we're leaning on lance armstrong
To do most of the work there,
But I was actually surprised
He was even gonna let me and marshawn help.
I thought he was gonna be like, "bike! This is my time!"
( rap music playing )
Hey, get going, man.
Hey, touch me again, bro.
Oh.
You have a ball and you're running with it.
And there's big guys coming.
And they're like, "I'm gonna get you!"
Guys, adam and I are gonna die. No horseplay.
Ai: You only have 40 minutes remaining.
Do you think you can beat m-m-me?
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Ariel: What if one of them repeats?
- ( buzzer ) - okay.
We're all competitive,
So there's a little bit of a race
To see who can finish it first.
You guys are killing it in there.
Tinashe: People underestimate me, but for this one,
I really wanna prove that I deserve to be here on mars.
- I think they got it. - They're writing tinashe's next album.
- ( notes chiming ) - that's what I think it is.
- So we're correct? - Yep, I think it's...
( singing tune )
- That's it. - It was a familiar song,
But I didn't recognize the song.
- ( notes chiming ) - ♪ red, yellow
♪ red, yellow
The colors are going so fast,
And you're trying to get the order.
I even wrote down the alphabet and was like,
Is it a number code? What?
Da vinci code? We have to figure this out.
You need me to switch for a minute?
How many have I done so far?
The screws were this big.
It wasn't like turn, turn, and it's out.
It was turn, turn, turn. Man, come on.
Just pull it open.
So we should just do one-- three rows.
Boom, just push it open.
- Okay, go. - ( bleep )
Oh, my gosh.
There's another panel to go.
Maybe there's a tool in the rover.
Let me go check.
Cat: We had one screwdriver,
So I was trying to find anything I could
To act a second screwdriver.
Maybe the key for the rover.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, maybe I can do this.
( grunting )
You okay, cat?
- ( grunts ) - hey, you okay?
( grunts ) yeah, I'm good.
Let me see if I can get up. Yep, I'm up.
It was extremely hard. I mean, we were hot,
And we were in our 100-pound suits.
But we just had to keep working at it.
I took a spill, but I got up.
- You feeling well? - ( laughs )
- Lance. How many miles? - Lance: What?
- We're at almost 15 1/2 miles. - All right, thank you.
- I'm climbing. You ready? - Yep.
( sighs )
Well, the bike is obviously a comfortable place for me.
You never know with the timer on the wall
And people are getting tired,
So I'm gonna give it 100% and try to be mission critical.
I'm gonna need that. I'm trying.
- You trying? - Trying.
- You a prima donna, bro. - Oh, yeah. For sure.
You just figured that out?
I should've said, "let's mix it up.
Lance, you figure out the puzzle."
( laughs )
Blue, pink, yellow...
- Both: Red. - ( buzzer )
Oh, no, no.
"porsha, you get on the bike."
Ai: There is only 12 minutes left on the clock.
Prepare to fail at my game, humans.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Adam: The rest of the team is out there working,
And my life is in their hands.
So all I can do at this point...
Is panic.
Adam: I'm running out of air in an airlock,
So now my life is on the line.
Imagine us succumbing to the toxic mars atmosphere.
Pink, blue, pink, blue.
Ai: Celebronauts,
You have five minutes left to save andy and adam.
Start saying your goodbyes.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Okay, so let's-- I'm gonna listen to it and try again.
- Yeah. - ( notes chiming )
- Green, pink, blue, pink. - ( buzzer )
Can you hear me, porsha? How's it going? I mean--
We're playing the song again.
I think you might be on the last note.
- That's what I'm hearing. - Yellow and red.
Porsha: We are laser focused.
I don't intend on being in the bottom three.
Less than a mile. He's got--
Cat and paul, how's it going?
There's more screws on this one than the last one, huh?
Cat: We're doing it.
We're working as fast as possible.
Paul: That's not even moving.
Andy: First team to finish will reboot the system,
So we all gotta keep going to the finish line.
Ronda, how much longer?
We're on the last tenth of a mile.
Ariel: Pink, yellow.
- 9, 8, 7... - Mashawn: 7.
- 6, 5, 4... - Lance, arm...
- 3, 2, 1. - Strong, for, the,
- Win! - 20 miles!
- Ai: Virus deleted. - 20 miles.
( cheers and applause )
Artificial intelligence restored to normal.
- Good job, baby! - We're in!
Tinashe: The mission was a success.
We were one note away from cracking the code,
So I was just glad that the bike team was able to save the day today.
( tones playing "never gonna give you up" )
- How is that possible? - ♪ never gonna let you down
Wait, they did say it was a popular song.
- We're getting rickrolled! - Yeah, we got--
( "never gonna give you up" by rick astley plays )
Ai: Congratulations, celebronauts.
- Adam: We're in! - Andy: Cat, paul, you can come on home.
- Thank you so much. - Oh, my god.
- You killed it. - Aw, sheesh.
Cat: I think that we had a really hard, grueling day,
And our jobs were much harder than anyone else's.
So I'm feeling confident
That andy will see we are mission critical.
- All right! - Welcome back.
( cheers and applause )
- Team! - Welcome!
Ai: Incoming message from mission control.
Congratulations! Mission was a success.
Base commander, it's time to choose which crewmembers
Impressed you most with their intelligence.
Then it's time for another tough decision.
With rations dwindling,
One of your crewmates must be extracted.
Transmission is over!
Being base commander,
I am the person that makes the call
Of who should be in the bottom three,
But it sucks having to send somebody home.
Well, I think what I'm gonna start with is cat and paul are safe.
We could hear the effort that cat and paul were going through.
- Adam: I think cat and paul are out of the question. - We can't do that to them.
- Adam: Lance was pretty critical. - Yes.
The winning team gets to stay.
With the exception of ronda. You can put her in the bottom.
Andy: She's got a baby at home that she misses terribly,
So that's gonna be up to her.
So it'll be ronda, and it's gotta be tinashe and porsha.
- I think that's where it gets a little tricky. - Yeah.
Because I don't think porsha or tinashe
Should have to be put in a position to leave.
I love porsha, and I adore tinashe.
I'm not gonna let them be put in the bottom three.
I think you could argue that paul and cat
Were in the most uncomfortable position,
- That they had been outside all day. - Yeah.
But how critical was it to the mission?
And is that what we're gonna base it on?
Adam: That's up to you.
Andy: Adam and I gotta base these decisions on the mission.
It is not fun.
Guys, first of all, I just wanna start and say
Within two days, you guys make me base commander,
And it's meaningful.
I can't believe-- I'm getting, like, choked up.
- Aww. - Right?
Mars sneaks up on your ass.
Yeah, I-- it's just-- it's a beautiful feeling,
And I really thank you all for it.
Um, but, you know,
The rules of the game are somebody's gotta go home.
So it's about whatever the results of the mission were.
The bike riders made it first,
So the bike team, you three guys are safe.
The women that were over here figuring out that thing, they were one note away.
They were so close.
And unfortunately, cat, paul, you guys were out there,
And you still had some more work to do.
So I gotta put cat and paul in the bottom.
- Let's go, buddy. - Ronda, she's got an 18-month-old,
So I wanna give you the opportunity to make that decision again,
So I'm gonna put you in the bottom three too, okay?
But if you three guys could head into the airlock...
Cat: Super disappointed and confused,
And I'm not gonna lie, a little pissed.
I think it's ( bleep ).
We out there like ( bleep ) in a suit.
- Andy: I know. - Cat: But you guys were playing games in here.
We out there killing ourselves.
But, hey, it didn't count for ( bleep ).
I've been a competitor my whole life.
We gave everything we had,
And to come in and be in the bottom three,
I thought, "this is so not fair."
All right, guys, the rules of the game are somebody's gotta go home.
The bottom three are ronda, cat, and paul.
- It's a tough decision. It sucks. - Yeah.
- Yeah, it sucks. It's really hard. - So I want each of you to,
You know, let me know why you're mission critical.
I'm gonna start with cat.
You know, I feel like I'm mission critical.
- I know I'm mission critical... - All right, mm-hmm.
...Because I spent hours in the field risking my life for the team.
- Confidence is a good asset moving forward, for sure. - Yeah.
I agree with everything you said, cat.
Paul, why are you mission critical?
Um, for a lot of the same reasons.
I mean, our job, I felt like at the time,
Was the most difficult based on what we had to do,
And so me and cat, we worked hard.
We sacrificed for the team.
We wanna be here, and we'll do anything moving forward.
Uh, ronda, your turn.
Nobody knows their mars ( bleep ) better than me.
- Yep, that's true. - ( andy laughs )
But I'm gonna have to step down on this mission.
I got a 18-month-old beautiful baby girl.
Earth is calling.
But I have enjoyed my time on mars
With you crazy little martians
So much more than I ever dreamed possible.
This has been an amazing experience.
I'm so happy I got to spend this time
In this crazy little hab with you guys
Because I love and respect you all so much.
You know, it's up to her, but she was on the winning team,
The team that got us there.
Obviously, ronda's put in the time and the effort.
She's been for all these weeks and been a really,
Really important part of our family unit.
But also, as a friend of ronda now,
I think that if she wants to go, then to me,
- That makes a lot of sense because we support her. - Andy: Yeah.
Listen, I feel like I'm super mish crit,
But I'm gonna have to step down.
- We agree. - Okay.
All right, we love you, ronda. Have a good trip home.
- Kill it for me, guys! - We will.
( bleep ) charge it when I'm gone!
You show mars who is the boss!
- That's right! - Yeah, we will!
You show those new people what it's like to run the red planet!
- Both: Oh, oh, oh! - I love you all so much.
All right, cat and paul, you're mission critical.
Come on in and get your patches, guys.
- ( cheering ) - goodbye, ronda.
- Aww - yay!
- You came in! - My dawg!
Ronda: I think I'm definitely gonna miss marshawn the most.
I tried to take that guy down for ten days,
And I could not take him down once.
I've never met anyone who I just could not take down.
But, yeah, I'll miss trying.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Good job, man. Good job.
- Oh, my goodness! I love you guys so much! - Ronda, ronda!
Mwah! Mwah!
All right. Man, that was tough.
I'm kind of conflicted about being out.
I miss everybody already.
But I'm so excited to go home and see my baby.
Going home.
Everybody, patches for intelligence.
- Did we get-- yeah. - There you go.
- Have an intelligence patch. - Thank you.
Cat: I was really a little pissed.
I think that andy made an easy decision because he's the new guy,
And he doesn't want to step on the toes of any senior members.
I thought it was, frankly,
You know, ( bleep ).
- Andy... - I don't expect you to forgive me.
- I'm sorry. - Yeah.
- Here, take this. Take this. - Give me my patch.
Cat called me an ( bleep ). Cat was pissed.
I think when you piss off cat cora, she stays pissed off.
I wanna apologize. I don't expect any forgiveness, but--
It's a bad position to be in to be base commander.
Aww.
I'm sorry. It's okay, babe.
Listen, nobody honestly thought you deserved
- To be in the bottom three. - I'm just emotional.
I think I'm just, like-- being out there--
It becomes way more important to you than you expect it.
Cat: Yeah.
Shatner: Next time...
You make somebody that competitive cry,
- It's over. - Cat: It is not personal.
For me, it's all about business.
You know, the whole notion of alliances and all that,
I'm too old for that ( bleep ).
Andy: Cat was pissed.
I did not get the sense that we were good.
- Aah! - Hey! I can't see.
Oh, my god.
- Who am I tapping? - Ariel: Me.
- Andy: Who's "me"? - Do you think that I fell flat?
I've talked my way out of the bottom three before.
