The Tank (2017) - full transcript

On April 26, 2012, six people entered an Isolated Confined Environment with the mission to simulate a trip to Mars. Their mission was a catastrophic failure.

Follow me,
come on.

( chuckles )

We've gotten really good
at not hitting our heads
finally.

Cameraman:
Ah, some of us have.

( laughs )

Hi, everyone, and welcome
to Luke's kitchen.

( laughs )

Look at this.

Oh, yeah.
Chocolate is like gold.

No, no.
It's better than gold.

Man:
All right. Hey, Julia.



Hi.

Welcome to my home
away from home.

This is the green house.

This is our gym facility.

Perfect timing.
Commander Will Sack's
in the middle of a workout.

Will, what happens
in here?

You know.
I'm just lifting some weights.

Benching about 250.

( Cameraman laughing )
Yeah, right.

Step in here
and this is the living room.

And this is where we spend

the majority
of our leisure time.

Cameraman:
Yeah, this is where
I kick everyone's butt

in "Dance Central."



( both laughing )

Haha, yeah.
That's my move.

Don't steal my move.

( knocking )
Knock, knock.

We're allowed to send
one message a week

to our families.

But there is
a 45-minute delay on it.

Just like an actual trip
to Mars.

Let's see,
Luke's room--

- Hey! Hey! Whoa!
- We're doing the video

for
the science committees.

Did you want us
to come back another time?

Do you mind?

Oops.

Nelly's working
on something today.
What are you doing?

I'm currently testing
some of our digestive enzymes.

Cameraman:
Ooh, fun stuff.

Before things
get too messy,

thank you, Nelly
for the tour.

And we'll check back
in a little bit.

- Thanks, bye, guys.
- Bye.

All right, let's get
these chips out.

There we go.

So, Julia's down there?

Yes, she is.
That's right.

Man:
Mr. Baker,

Are you aware
that in the entire history

of national and international
space exploration,

there has never been
a disaster of this category?

Yes, sir.
I am aware of that.

Do you think
in retrospect,

had you made
different decisions,

this might
have been prevented?

What might
have been prevented?

The deaths of nearly
your entire crew.

On April 26, 2012,

six qualified candidates
landed in Antarctica.

Entered ICE-SAT 5.

The doors were closed,
locked, and sealed.

The mission was
classified a failure.

Man:
I just wanna state
for the record,

this is the worst idea
you've ever had.

And you've had
some pretty bad ideas.

What are you
talking about?

If it works,
we're heroes.

- And if it doesn't?
- Kerns, this division

has been risk adverse
for far too long.

Time for a little change up,
don't you think?

Besides, you asked
for a new program
before my review.

Here it is.

You do know,

that we're never
going to Mars, right?

Of course we're not.

( photographers shouting )

Man:
Beginning a mark
not only sentimental moment

in the history
of the United States,

but in the history
of mankind.

Please welcome,
our program manager

and creative director,

Reed Baker.

I have the distinct pleasure
of introducing you

to our six
brave volunteers.

Geologist,
Julia Meyers.

Sociologist
and anthropologist,

Thom Jason.

Former US Air Force pilot,
Will Sacks.

Biomedical engineer,
Luke Millens.

Medical scientist,
Dr. Nelly Rugin.

Former US Marine,
Dane Hankeard.

The six individuals
you see before you

will spend
the next 471 days

without sunlight
or fresh air,

or direct contact
with the outside world.

They will be locked
inside the isolated,

confined environment,

the ICE-SAT 5.

Simulating an actual trip
to the red planet.

- Man: Mr. Kerns.
- Yes.

Our records indicate

that you had a surplus
of monies

at the end
of fiscal year, 2011.

Is that correct?

Yes, that's correct.

How much money
was left over

in the fourth quarter budget
of that year?

Um...

I believe it was
$94 million.

Give or take.

And if you didn't
spend that money

on a new program
by September 30, 2011,

what would happen
to that money?

We would lose it.

Doesn't that strike you
as odd, Mr. Kerns?

Not particularly, no.

Because it's obvious to me
that there was clear incentive

to initiate this program

before it was
properly vetted.

We performed all
the necessary evaluations

to ensure the most
successful mission possible.

You did not, Mr. Baker.

Our review indicates

egregious violations

in processes that you were
responsible for.

You put human lives
at risk.

Will: Okay, guys.
Your suit pressure
looks good.

- ( alarm blares )
- Vacuum in the chamber
is stabilized.

Start your walk.

Dane:
Here we go.

Julia:
Today we are going to explore
the local terrain.

Up to about 10 meters.

And we're going to collect
a variety of samples

and then analyze them
in the lab.

Dane:
Oh, my God.

Possible
extraterrestrial sighting.

Never mind.
That's just Julia.

( laughs )

All right, guys.
Let's stay focused.

Thank you.

Did you set it?

( Dane giggles )
Yeah. You see it?

Where is it?

- You don't see it?
- No.

It's right there
on top of that rock.

- Oh, my God.
- ( both giggling )

- Okay, are you ready?
- Yeah, do it.

Three, two, one.

Dane:
Boom! Yes!

( both laughing )

- I love this job.
- ( laughs )

Julia:
Okay, Luke.
We're rolling.

Oh. Okay, everyone.

Tonight
is pizza party night.

- Dane: Yeah!
- Will: Yeah!

But let me be clear.

This is not
a real pizza.

It's a-- it's a simulation
of a pizza.

Because it's a simulation
of a trip to Mars.

( all laughing, cheering )

Nelly:
Gotcha.

Since we don't have
the right ingredients,

we have to use what
we have here in the module.

Right? We've got some
freeze dried vegetables.

and some...

- Oh, yeah.
- Ah.

Dry...
toast-like thing.

- Julia: God, I hate
that stuff.
- Will: Delicious.

We'll make it work.

So, pizza time.

See you guys, later.

- Looks amazing.
- Thank you.

- Dane: Yeah!
- Will:
That looks unbelievable.

When I say,
"Unbelievable..."

- Nelly: It smells.
- It does.

This is actually one
of our better experiments.

Of course it is,
we got the recipe on Mars.

- ( laughs )
- That's really good.

Dear Lord, our God.

We thank you
for this great food

and for this unique experience
and opportunity.

May we all continue
this journey

with humility
and gratitude.

We are so grateful to be
in such great company.

Amen.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Amen.

So, here's
to the celebration

of the first quarter
of our mission.

Only 328 days
left to go.

( all laughing )

- Cheers.
- Nelly: Cheers.

- Will: Nice.
- Cheers.

Thank you.

You look great
in an apron.

Damn right I do,
little lady.

Well, get used to it.

Only men are allowed
to cook and clean on Mars.

- Say what?
- Oh, you didn't hear?

Sexism is reversed
in space.

I didn't know
there was sexism on Earth.

We did not get that memo.

Oh, don't worry,
you will.

Will:
What is that?

- Uh.
- What is that?

Zero gravity hand slap.

- ( laughing )
- That's pretty good.

- That was lame.
- Working on it.

- It was pretty lame.
- Nelly: It was good.

Hi, guys.
Just checking in.

Everything's great here,
we're all happy.

Everybody's healthy.

And we're all
getting along,

for the most part, anyway.

It's actually been getting
quite boring here lately.

That's for sure.

There's only so many games
of solitaire one can play

and urine samples
you can give

before it gets
pretty old.

Oh, well.

No one ever died
from boredom,

I guess, right?

Okay. So, I'll let you
go for now.

Oh, and Sarah and Michael,
if you're watching this,

keep an eye
on your father.

He has high cholesterol.

And cereal is not
an acceptable meal for dinner.

Cook in some vegetables.

Okay.
I love you guys.

Take care
of each other.

Bye.

( knocking on door )

Could you join us
in the living room please,

- we've got a big problem.
- Sure.

So, Thom has discovered

that some
of his allocated chocolate

has disappeared.

Your more than welcome
to check the scan logs.

So, I'd like to know
which one of you took it.

Uh...

I hope you guys
don't think I did.

I'm watching my figure.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Thom.

It wasn't me, Will.

Thom and I both keep

excellent scanning logs
of all the food.

I would never do
anything like that.

Okay, so not one of you

is going to admit
to taking the chocolate?

With all due respect,
Will,

how do we know
it wasn't you?

You don't, Luke.

But I didn't take it.
You have my word.

Okay?

Last chance.

All right.

So I'm revoking
one bar per person

and giving it to Thom.

- Thanks, everybody.
- Dane: A full bar?

- Luke: No. Wait.
- Nelly: What?

- Thanks, Will.
I appreciate that.
- No problem.

Luke:
Will! Will.

Will.

That's unfortunate.

( gasps )

Mr. Baker,
were you aware

that Commander Will Sacks

had recently lost
his daughter?

I was aware.

Were you aware
that Mrs. Sacks

subsequently
took her own life?

Yes, ma'am,
I was aware.

Do you feel
that this unfortunate event

might have influenced

his judgment
in commanding his crew?

( poker chips clinking )

Game night here.

Just so you can get
a better idea

of how competitive

and how vicious
we can actually be.

Oh, yeah.
We are so vicious.

- Wha--
- Will: Oh, my God.

So, tonight
we're playing poker.

No, we're not
just playing poker,

we're playing
brother from another mother.

Now you're talkin'
my language.

What the hell is that?

Okay. Jacks are wild.

But only when played
with a single queen.

- Will: Nice.
- Ooh.

Well, things are getting
a little racy.

We'll come back later.
For now, bye.

Who wants popcorn?

- I'll take popcorn.
- Do it.

Yeah, I'll have
some popcorn.

You sitting here, J?

No. I was at the end.

Move over, big bear.

- Excuse you, girl.
- I'll show you how we are

- in my neck of the woods.
- Yeah, let's see
what you got.

All right,
ante up, people.

( imitates Nelly )
"My neck of the woods."

( men laughing )

Dane:
It's an inside joke.

It's an inside joke.

Okay, guys.

The game is still going on
and it's pretty intense.

Will is out.

Dane:
Ruh-oh.

Julia:
Luke, Dane, and Nelly

are still in.

And let me tell you

the stakes are high.

Thom, why don't you tell them
what they're playing for.

Thom:
Uh...

right now
they are up to

six weeks hygiene facility
cleaning duty.

And whoever loses,

it ain't gonna be pretty.

I can tell you
that much.

Can you turn that off,
please?

Just, can you
just turn it off.

- Okay.
- ( clicks )

All right, here we go.

The river.

Nelly?

Mm.

We only have 270 more days
left in the tank.

Cards aren't gonna
change themselves.

Will:
The seasons might.

( Thom laughs )

All right. I'm out.

- Will: Yeah, baby.
- Julia: Oh...

What to do,
what to do?

Thom:
Guys, you gotta show.

I'll show 'em.

Eat that, reverend.

Oh!

Damn it--
Dang it!

( snickering )

Thank you, God!

Thank you, God.

- Nelly: Well played.
- Yes!

You better watch it,
my friend.

God will strike you down
for blasphemy like that.

Oh, he just
struck me down.

Struck me down with
"A-whoopin' your ass."

( laughing )

I don't find that
very funny.

Nelly:
Luke.

Seriously?

Thom:
Congratulations.
Good hand, man.

( whispers )
Hi.

Is everybody out?

Yeah, I think so.

Are you writing me
a love letter?

Of course I am.

Oh, my God.
You taste so good.

( moans )

Hey.

Oh, God.

Okay.

Oh, God.

You want it all?

Shh.

Yeah.

( gasps )

Okay, don't move.
Don't move.

It's sensitive.
Oh, God.

I'm sorry.
That felt so good.

It's okay.
We can just go again.

( sighs )
Oh, God.

Lay down.

I'm kinda tired.

- Tired?
- Yeah.

I had to get up at like,
5:00 am this morning.

Nelly:
Are you fucking kidding me?

Yeah, to check
the logs.

This is like, third time
you've pulled this shit
on me, Dane.

What?

What? Where the hell
did you learn

that sex was just
for pleasing a man, huh?

I thought it felt good.

It's not all
about you, okay?

Newsflash,
women can orgasm too.

I'm not just here
to serve you.

- I'm not your fucking mother.
- ( mutters )

- How did my fucking mother
get involved--
- Jesus, my bra's on...

( sighs )
You know...

you're not 12 years old,
Dane, okay?

Learn to fucking
control yourself--

What the fuck is that?

The power's out?

( both )
Fuck.

Get your clothes on.

- Get your clothes.
- Yeah, I'm trying.

Okay, you go notify
OP team.

( knocks )

Yeah, we know.
The power's out.

I'll go notify
Mission Control.

I know I fucked up,
okay?

Let's just go.

Newsflash, everybody.

This is what's going on,
we've lost power

It went out at 02:26.

It's now 04:48.

We've contacted
the OP team,

we're waiting
for a response.

I'm sure
they're working on it.

In the meantime, we've decided
to go back to bed,

and see what's happening
in the morning.

Which is pretty soon.

Nighty-night.

Dane:
Yeah, sweet dreams.

Good night.

( distant clanging )

( computer beeping )

- Any response yet?
- No, nothing.

You tried the emergency line?

Yeah, we tried everything

Hey, guys. I don't want
to alarm anyone, but, uh...

- What?
- The oxygen read says

we only have 16 hours
and 13 minutes left.

They'll get it fixed
by then, I'm sure.

- What if they don't?
- Dane: It's not an option.

Don't you think
we should consider

- all possibilities?
- Yes, we should, Thom.

Where's Luke?

- Where do you think?
He's praying.
- Great.

- All right, Julia?
- Julia: Yeah?

You go to the green house.

Get four beds and the best

oxygen generating plants.

Bring to the living room.

Thom, you set a timer
for the oxygen.

Nelly, you keep trying
to contact the deck.

Okay, don't stop.

Dane, come with me.

Nelly:
Copy that.

Nothing, man.
I don't hear a thing.

Well, wouldn't they be
out there working on it?

Yeah, I should think so.

How long would it take them
to get here from McMurdo?

Six, seven hours maybe.

So, what do we do now?

We wait.

( beeping )

Will:
How's the gang?

Dane:
They're holding up.

Some better than others.

- How are you holding up?
- I'm good.

So, you think
this is a test

or there's really a problem
with the generator?

Um...

I'm not sure, I keep going
back and forth on it.

- You?
- Yeah, pretty much
the same.

I don't know, man.

How long till we pull the plug
on the whole thing?

Probably 02:30.

That would leave us with
just under an hour of oxygen.

Yeah, give or take.

- That would fucking suck.
- I know.

To come this far
and have it all be a waste.

It's not gonna come to that.

What a joke.
I'd be so fucking pissed.

Dude, I am the commander.

All right?

I'm supposed to be able
to figure this out.

Well, you're doing
all you can do.

You've been
a fucking rock star

directing this whole mission
so far.

Thanks, man.
I appreciate it.

No, trust me.

If I didn't think
you were doing a good job,

you'd know about it.

- I know.
- ( laughs )

You're doing
a pretty great job yourself.

- It's been quite a ride.
- Thank you, buddy.

Cheers.

Come quick.

There's something wrong
with Thom.

The ride ain't over yet.

He's having a seizure,
just give him some space.

( groaning )

Dane:
Here, have him
bite down on this.

No, it'll break
his teeth.

There's nothing we can do.
We just need to let him
ride it out.

It's okay.
It's all right.

Okay. Okay.

- ( groaning continues )
- Okay.

- That's it. Deep breaths.
- ( panting )

Deep breaths.
It's all okay.

Julia:
Does he normally
have seizures?

Not that I'm aware of.

Will:
What do you think
caused it?

Stress and maybe the lack
of oxygen.

Mr. Baker,

what is
Contingency Plan 241?

Contingency Plan 241
was a procedure

that was implemented

to evaluate the physical
and emotional effects

on the crew of a simulated
emergency situation.

And did you follow
the guidelines

of Contingency Plan 241?

To my knowledge, yes.

Our records indicate
that you bypassed

critical processes
and procedures

undermining
the mental stability
of your crew.

Will:
What are you doing?

- What are you doing?
- Will, this is bullshit,
okay?

- They're jeopardizing
our safety now.
- We can't just give up.

I've worked
my whole life for this.

I'm not gonna let
some stupid little seizure

- ruin it for me.
- We're running out

of oxygen, Luke.

What part of that
do you not get?

It'll be back on soon,
Dane.

It needs
to come back on now.

Hello! Help!

- Hello?
- Hey! Hey!

Will:
Guys, guys!

- On now!
- Oxygen, let's take it--

Fucking ignoring us.
Man, this is bullshit.

- Fuck!
- Luke: Oh, yeah,
that'll work.

Good thinking, man.

I don't hear you coming up
with any bright ideas.

And you're stupid
fucking prayers

apparently aren't
doing shit.

Oh, I'm sorry,

maybe we should all
just act like you

when things get tough.

Just fuck our way out
of the situation.

But from what I hear
you can't even

- do that well, so...
- What the fuck

did you just say to me?

- I will fuck you up!
- No!

Dane!

- Guys!
- Dane!

( groans )

- Calm down.
- I'm calm, okay?
I got it. I got it.

Stop it.

You-- ( groans )

You pushed it too far,
didn't you?

Sir, in retrospect,

clearly some mistakes
were made.

You put people's lives
on the line.

Do you understand that?

What you did
was immoral

and unacceptable.

Period.

Reed:
The team here felt
that we needed to test

the boundaries
of an emergency situation,

to gauge
your collective response

to extreme circumstances,

especially being so close
to the third quarter effect.

We encourage you to use
your team building skills

to resolve conflict

and just focus
on the task at hand.

Team building skills?

Go team.

Yeah, well,
we probably should have

expected something
like this.

- Nelly:
I didn't expect this.
- She's right,

they did not say there were
gonna be any surprises.

Yeah, they didn't say
there weren't either.

Come on,
that's bullshit.

Look, guys.

This happened, okay?

That's the bottom line.
We have to move past it.

Right now.

Are we good?

Look, we can't come this far
and give up now.

You wanna throw away everything
you've worked for?

I don't.

I need answers, people.

Come on.

I wanna finish.

Yeah, I'm good.

Yes.

Luke, Dane...

I'm fine.

It's all good.

All right then.

Let's do it.

Just stay the fuck
away from me.

Thanks.

Hey, Will. Um...

You're not gonna
tell the OP team

about what happened,
are you?

I haven't had a seizure
since I was 11,

and I don't know
what happened.

Look, don't worry
about it.

It's all good.

- Thanks.
- Sure.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

- I'll make dinner.
- Great. Thanks, man.

Will:
I feel like things
are falling apart.

Like I'm losing control.

What once was
an exciting adventure

has become a series
of awkward glances

and
uncomfortable encounters.

The crew is now
choosing solitude

over social interaction.

I had no idea this was
gonna be this hard.

You can train for months,

but nothing can prepare you
for the cold, hard reality

of the loneliness
you can feel.

Even with someone
sitting right next to you.

The tank feels empty now.

Only ghosts of people
who once felt hope.

And inspiration.

Thom:
Everyone is treating me
different now.

Like I have a disease
they're afraid of catching.

I feel awful.

The last thing
I would want to do

is jeopardize
this mission

that people have sacrificed
so much for.

If this mission failed
because of me,

I don't know
what I'd do.

Man:
Do you understand
the high psychological risk

associated with
such prolonged isolation

and confinement?

- I've read all the studies--
- Social withdrawal.

Irritability.
Poor impulse control.

Unprovoked anger.

Paranoia.
Psychosis.

- Hallucinations.
- I think we get the point.

No, I don't think you do.

These people
weren't lab rats.

You are playing
with their lives.

They were fragile
and vulnerable

and you took
advantage of that.

Is there anything
you want to say?

No.

Thank you for your time,
gentlemen.

This concludes
our initial hearing.

A criminal investigation

will be performed
in parallel.

I found this deleted
in the company hard drive.

You pushed him
through the system

knowing full well,

he failed
his psych evaluation.

Do you have any idea
what you've done?

And do not think

you're gonna take me down
with you, my friend.

The blood of these people

is on your hands.

Not mine.

- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, Mommy.

- We love you.
- We really
missed you on Christmas.

- I got a bike.
- I got a lamb named Fluffy

and I made him
a collar.

And she made up
a dance for you.

- A song.
- Dance.

- A song.
- Dance.

- A song.
- Dance.

Sarah:
A song. Okay. Hush, hush.

♪ I love you, Mommy
you're the best ♪

♪ I wish you'd
come home soon ♪

♪ From the tank. ♪

Michael: I told you
she made up a dance.

- I wrote a song.
- I didn't-- I didn't
make up a song.

Or a dance.

We love you.

You're the best.

- Bye.
- Bye.

( knocks )

Nelly:
Hey.

Hi, can I come in?

Hey. Of course.

What's going on?

I'm just having
a hard day.

Or night.
Whatever the hell it is.

I can never tell.

Wanna talk about it?

No.

I just...

I want you
to make me laugh.

Be funny.

I can do that.

- ( slaps thigh )
- Come on.

We're gonna celebrate
New Year's.

It's gonna be the greatest
New Year's ever.

In the tank.

- Okay?
- Yeah. That sounds great.

All right.

( laughs )
Thank you.

- What is the round thing
in your face?
- I don't know.

- What is the round thing?
- Have a toast.

- ( clears throat ) All right.
- A little powdered wine.

Oh. Non-alcoholic
powdered wine.

We're such alkies.

- To day 250.
- ( giggles )

To my most amazing friend.

I'll drink to that.

Oh, God.
That's so disgusting.

( gasps )

Happy New Year's.

Happy New Year.

( both giggling )

Come on. Let's get
this party started.

All right.

♪ I pledge allegiance
to the party ♪

♪ Woo, woo ♪

♪ C-O-L-A and Bacardi ♪

- ♪ Woo, whoo ♪
- ( giggling )

♪ I volunteer
to get it started ♪

- ♪ Woo ♪
- ♪ Follow my lead ♪

♪ Be all that
you can be... ♪

( giggling continues )

Dear Lord,

please give me
the strength that I need

to get through these dark
and trying times.

Lord,
there are things happening

inside and outside
this tank

that are blasphemous.

And immoral.

People are lying.

People are sinning.

I fear for the salvation
of their souls

if things do not change.

I am seeking counsel
in your word, oh, Lord.

Please, God,

guide my steps.

Guide my steps.

Please, God,
guide my steps.

Will: Okay, guys.
Your suit pressure
looks good.

- Thom, what's their oxygen?
- ( buzzer sounds )

Oxygen's at 21% nominal.

Chamber pressure's
holding steady

at 10
to the minus six torrs.

Okay, guys, go ahead.
Start your walk.

Julia:
Oh, shit.

Man down.

You okay?

All right,
let's get them out.

Julia:
These things
are so hard to see in.

I almost killed myself
on the last walk.

I tripped on this rock--
Oh, my God, Dane.

That looks awful.

You're gonna have Nelly
take a look at that,

- aren't you?
- Uh, no--

Don't worry about it.
I'll be fine.

Mm, suit yourself.

( power tool whirs )

Luke:
And the last time
made it on time

with every single one
of my experiments,

every single one of them.

Nope, go ahead.
I'd like to hear this.

No, name one single sample,
one single test,

one single experiment
that I have not completed

in under
the allotted time.

And mind you,
that has not been done

- without a great degree of--
- Hey, Luke.

Oh, hey, Julia.

What are you working on?

Just fixing

one of the UV protector
glasses.

- That's great.
- Yeah.

Just doing my job,
following the rules.

Doing what I do.

Well, I want
to let you know

we're doing dinner
in an hour.

Perfect.
Thanks for letting me know.

I am discontent.

( mouthing words )

- ( knocking on door )
- Yeah. Come in.

Hey. You got a second?

Yeah, of course.
Sit down.

- What's up?
- Well...

Have you noticed
that Luke's been acting

kind of strange lately?

What's he doing now?

Well, I just walked
into the workshop.

He's always in that
damn workshop.

And he was talking
to himself.

- How exactly?
- Not in a normal way.

In a creepy,
imaginary friend sort of way.

Like listening, responding,

carrying on
an entire conversation.

All right,
we'll notify Dr. Garrett.

We'll get
a psych eval on him.

I think that's
a good idea.

Sure.
Thanks for telling me.

Of course.

What are you working on?

Oh, it's like a...

it's a mock-up
of a grain structure

that might be sustainable
on the Mars soil.

Wow, sounds sexy.

Oh, yeah.
It's very sexy.

I like your necklace.

- Oh.
- I never noticed it before.

My daughter
made it for me.

We went to Cape Cod
a couple summers ago.

Yeah, I bet
you must miss her.

You have no idea.

I didn't think
it was possible

to miss someone so much.

But you have
a daughter, right?

- ( sobs )
- Will...

What's wrong?

What did I...

I lost her.

I should've been there.

I am so sorry.
I had no idea.

Will.

Oh, God.

I can't imagine
what you've been through.

No, no.

Sorry.

I can't.
I'm sorry.

No, I shouldn't--
I shouldn't have
done that.

Oh, God.
I feel like an idiot.

I'm so sorry.

You're not an idiot.

We're-- we're just human.

Yeah, of course we are.

Dear Lord,

please give me
the strength that I need

to make it through
these dark and trying times.

I am relying on your strength
and power, oh, Lord.

Know that I am acting
as your humble servant.

And you,
the Almighty Power.

I will walk like you.

I will talk like you.

I will drink
from the valley of you,

my Lord.

Please, Lord.

What are my steps?

Show me the way.

Please forgive me
for what I'm about to do.

( computer keys tapping )

( sighs )

Hey, mama.

- Hey.
- Need any help in here?

Nelly:
Are you kidding me?
I've been packed for a week.

Listen,

it's gonna get kind of crazy
when we get back,

so I just wanted
to let you know

that I couldn't have made it
through this thing without you.

I would have gone insane
without you.

Yeah, me too.

You better stay in touch
or I'm gonna hunt you down.

Mm. Deal.

- Come on.
Let's get out of here.
- Mm.

- I'll get this one.
- Thank you.

- You ready, buddy?
- Yeah, you?

I'm so fucking ready, bro.
You have no idea.

Your ankle still bad?

It's definitely
not good.

All right.

What time's the release
scheduled for again?

12:00 hours.

Sounds good.

- Fruit salad.
- Ah. Pineapple.

Mango. Mango.
I want a mango pancake.

Snicker bar.

That you stole.

- That was you?
- No, it wasn't me.

- This is the end.
- Oh, yeah. Show me,
show me, show me.

Will:
Just one second.

- Guys, just one second.
Thank you.
- Just one.

- Look, I want to be
sentimental or anything.
- Nelly: Yes, you do.

No, I don't.

But I just want to say
that I'm really very proud

to have commanded
this crew.

You've done
an incredible job.

Congratulations, guys.
We did it.

Julia:
Yes! Woo!

Yeah.

Slow clap.

You're such
a fucking idiot.

Excuse me?

You still think this
is a simulation, don't you?

What are you
talking about?

We're never getting out
of this tank.

If we do,
we're all dead.

They lied to us, Will.
Don't you get that?

They actually
sent us to Mars.

We're on Mars,
right now, guys.

Dane:
Is this a joke?

The fucking joke
is us, Dane.

We are the fucking joke.

You think that tank door
is gonna open right now?

Your precious
little tank door.

Let's see if it opens.

Count it down, Will.

You're the commander.
Count it down.

Thom, look at your watch.
What does it say?

- Look at your watch.
- Hey, he's going--

- Nelly: Luke!
- I'll put your head
through the wall.

Back off, Dane.

I'll blow your fucking brains

- all over the wall.
- What the hell?

Okay, Luke, Luke.
Just you wait.

Just calm down
for a second.

Just take a breath,
all right?

Look, let's just put
the gun down

and we can talk about this
like rational adults.

- Shh, shh, shh.
Just put the gun down.
- No.

I'm calling
the shots now, Will.

I'll say how things
are gonna be handled

from here on out.

Okay?

I'll say how things
will be handled.

I wouldn't do that
if I were you.

One more step,
somebody's gonna get hurt.

- Okay, Luke,
put the gun down.
- ( air shot )

( loud thud )

Luke:
Oh, shit.

- Julia! Oh, my God.
- Oh, shit.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

Back off, Dane!

I told you.

I told you I'm not
fucking around here.

This is life and death.

They lied to us.
We have been deceived.

And if you people
won't start listening to me,

all of you, I will no choice
but to kill you.

- Pressure.
- Got it.

Get the bag.

Luke.

I need to get
the emergency kit
from the kitchen--

Get back!

Luke, you shot her.

Okay? If I don't help her,
she's gonna die.

You said you didn't want
to hurt anyone.

You made that point,
it was very clear.

And we're all listening now,
I promise you,

but I need to get that bag
and help her, please.

Please.

- Fine. Go.
- Thank you.

See, I told you.

I told you that door
would not open.

They lied to us.

Where's
your mission control?

Where's
your project manager now?

How come
they're not here?

How come
they're not saving you?

Would you stop
interrupting me?

Shut up,
I'm not talking to you,

leave me alone.

Shh. Relax. Relax.
Relax. Relax. Relax.

Hey, hey.
It's me.

It's me.

- Okay.
- Okay, I got it.

Luke, why don't you
fill us in

on what's going on, okay?

You were right.
They didn't open the hatch.

Obviously, you know something
that we don't.

So, help us out, man.

We wanna be on your team.

( scoffs )
I bet you do.

Will, over here!

Now listen.

In order for you
to be on my team,

people are gonna
have to start telling
the truth around here.

'Cause there are
a lot of lies

going on around
this tank.

Dane, are you
a God-fearing man?

You don't strike me
as a God-fearing man.

Pick it up.

I said,
pick it up!

Okay.

Ow.

Luke:
Open to the red bookmark.

Read John 8:32.

"And you will know
the truth,

and the truth
will set you free."

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And thank you, God,

for showing us all
that the truth is the way

to our eternal salvation.

So, who wants
to be saved first?

Huh?

Thom?

Hmm?

Let's take
a little field trip.

Grab your bag.

I said grab your bag!

Okay.

Will, Dane, Thom,
let's go.

Thom, come on.

- Come with me.
- We're coming.

( whimpers )

( gasps )

Luke:
In your room, Thom.

Dane.

All right,
all right, all right.

You notice anything, Will?

Not me, the room.

Luke, can we talk
about this for a second?

The wall, take it down.

The other side,
show them.

Your friend Thom here
is a sick, twisted pervert.

And he's going to Hell.

Were you spying on me
the whole time?

No. No.
I'm so sorry.

Why would you do that?

I was your friend.

I'm sorry.

You really are
a sick little fuck.

Dane.

What now, you're just gonna
cry like a little fucking--

Hey, hey, hey.
That's enough.

- Hey!
- This is what the truth
looks like.

Take out your journal.

I'm not gonna ask
you again.

Read it.

I'm not gonna read
my journal.

Read it, Dane.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

"I can't stop thinking about
slipping myself inside him."

You're going to Hell!

- It's the truth!
- Thom, wait.

Thom.

Thom!

Thom.

Get back.

Thom! Thom!
Open the door!

Open the door.

Oh, God.

Thom. Thom.
Open the door.

Okay, stay with me.

One more step.

( dull thud )

( Luke whispering )

What are my steps, Lord?

What are my steps, Lord?
What are my steps?

( dumbbell banging )

( groans )

Oh, God.
Oh, God.

Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord.

Be with me, Lord,
Stay with me, Lord.

Stay with me, Lord.

I'm here. A voice.
I'm here. I'm devoted.

( panting )

( whispering continues )

You're my love,
you're my savior.

Stay with me.
Yes, Jesus.

Whoa. Yes.

He needed to be rescued.

Is this what you wanted?

( gasps )
No.

Huh?

No.

You killed him,
you psychotic fuck.

No.

This was your big plan,
huh?

Was it?

I didn't know.

I-- I didn't know.

You wanna kill me, huh?
Come on.

Do it. Do it.

Do it!

I love you.

( air shot )

Holy shit.

They're both dead.

Oh, my God.

How's she doing?

She's not doing well,
she's lost a lot of blood.

What happened?

- Where's Nelly?
- Um...

I don't know, when I got back
in here she was gone.

I'm so cold.
Aren't you?

See if you can
get her a blanket, come on.

Will.

Will, make him...

in the ground out back.

We'll do it.

I'm so cold.

It's gonna be here soon.
Sorry.

Could you please
turn the--

- Here you go, here you go.
- No.

I'll quick get you warm.
Look.

Get you nice and warm.

There you go.
It's okay, it's okay.

All right, Dane.

Go find Nelly,
all right?

We gotta stick together.

Dane:
Copy that.

Nelly!

Nelly!

Nelly, you can come out,
it's safe.

( sniffs )

I got ya, buddy.

( groans )

Mr. Baker:
This is not a test.

Will?

You need to see this.

I found it
on the hard drive.

It came in
three days ago.

We have just been informed
that a condition one blizzard

is forming inland
over the Polar Plateau.

So, it's going
to be impossible

to make it down there
to get you

by the original
projected date.

Now, we all knew
that this was a risk,

due to Antarctica's
mercurial weather

as discussed in detail
before the mission.

So, we're gonna shift
to our scheduled plan B

and we should be able
to get to the ICE-SAT 5

somewhere in the two
to four weeks time period.

We're fucked.

We'd be better off
if we were on Mars.

I don't believe it.

I don't fucking
believe this.

And where the fuck
is Nelly?

I don't know.
I can't find her.

You don't know,
we're in a tiny fucking

- piece of shit tank.
- She's tiny.

Maybe she squeezed out
the trash shoot.

What the fuck
are you talking about?

- It's 75 below out--
- Will, it's okay!

We're going to be okay.

Come on.

( alarm blares )

Here.

You'll feel better.

Hey.

I brought you
something to eat.

Come on.

You need it
for your strength.

When are we getting
out of here?

What's really going on?

The storm's passing.
They'll come for us soon.

How long?

A couple of days. Max.

Will, I'm not gonna last
a couple of days.

Yes, yes, you are.

I promised my kids
that I would come back.

And you will,
come on.

Look, you're the strongest
person here.

I don't wanna die
like this.

I wanna see my family.

I miss them so much.

Look, you're not
going anywhere.

Oh, God.
I never should have come here.

This was stupid.

I thought that I could
conquer the world

and now look at me.

We all did this
for nothing.

Julia, I need you
to be strong.

Okay?

I can't do this
without you.

Okay.

I will.

I'm gonna get a new dressing
for that, okay?

Wait, Will.

Could you bring me
a paper and pen, please?

Hey.

Anything?

I just sent out
the SOS,

but they may not be able
to get our signal

with the weather
this extreme.

I'll keep trying though.

All right,
look, you're gooey.
Get some rest, okay?

- You sure?
- Yeah, absolutely.
Go on.

Thanks.

- Ow.
- You all right?

My God, my fucking ankle
is killing me, man.

- How does it look like?
- Jesus Christ.

( loud rumbling )

( creaking )

Holy shit.

It's a condition one, man.
It's not messing around.

No shit.

All right, look,
go get some rest, all right?

- That's an order.
- Aye aye, captain.

And it just keeps
getting better.

- Did you find anything?
- Yeah.

You know, the usual
space food disaster.

Oh, that's my favorite.

I would eat anything
right now.

Well, anything
is all you're gonna get.

I put online
a strongly worded letter--

( tank rumbling )

Holy shit.

This can't be good.

( groans )

- You okay?
- Oh, man.

I don't know.

I'm gonna--
I'm gonna get a light.

Aw, fuck,
I can't move.

Oh, my God.

My fucking ankle.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

I think I'm fucked.

Julia?

Julia?

Julia?

Hey, man.

Come on.
You gotta eat.

Dane?

Hey, man.

You're burning up.

I know.

I don't think
I'm gonna make it.

Yes, you are.

The infection's
turning septic.

It's gonna enter
my blood stream

and hit my heart.

The only way
I'm gonna make it,

is if you cut it off.

- Dane, I think--
- Will, if you don't,
I'm gonna die.

I know.

I mean, I don't have
much time.

Have you ever done
anything like this before?

Once...

in Fallujah.

Did it work?

He didn't make it.

Jesus Christ.

Okay. All right.

Okay, we need
some more light in here.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

Okay, let's get
this thing up, okay?

You ready?
One, two, three.

( groans )

Okay, okay.

Come on, come on, come on.

Ah, so bad.

You good?

Yeah, good, yeah.

- Yeah.
- All right.

I'm not gonna see
what I'm doing here.

You know, what, look around
and see if you can find

- some hydrogen peroxide.
- Hydrogen peroxide?

Okay, here we go.
Okay, got it.

Okay, just pour that
all over it.

You sure?

I can't feel my leg anymore,
it's not gonna hurt.

Okay. Oh, God.

We need a tourniquet.

That wire--
that blood pre--

- What, this? No.
- No, no, no, no.

- This. This, um--
- Okay. Yeah, got it, gotcha.

All right.

- All right, put it around.
- Another, one more time.

One more time.
All right.

Okay.
Okay. All right.

- You ready? You ready?
- Yeah, yeah.

Okay.
One, two, three.

Okay.

All right,
that's good.

Okay, I'm gonna cut it
right here.

Cut it here, man.

Leave me as much
as you can.

I'm losing
my fucking leg here.

All right.
( chuckles )

Don't make me laugh.

It's not funny, man.

All right.
Okay, Dane.

I got ya, all right?

- You're gonna be fine.
- Of course I am.

Good, okay.

Better get something
to tie me down,

so I don't fight you.

Okay.

I got this.

So, when you do this,
just do it fast.

That blade will cut
right through my bone

in seconds flat.

I'm gonna scream
at first.

But then I'll pass out
from the pain,

so when you're done,
just fucking pack it in.

As tight as you can,
okay?

And don't take
the tourniquet off.

You hear me, do not take
that tourniquet off.

I got ya.
All right, got it.

Easy, breezy.

Okay.

All right, you ready?

Yeah.

- Wait.
- What?

I need something
to bite down on.

Oh, fuck. Yeah.

- All right, this?
- Yeah.

- Is that good?
- That's good.

Hey.

I trust you.

I wouldn't let anyone else
do this but you.

Yeah.

Oh, fuck.

- Okay.
- Oh, fuck me.

Oh, God.

- You ready?
- ( grunts )

One, two, three.

( Dane groans )

( screams )

Hey, man.

We did it.

You're doing great.

Hey-- hey, man.
I'm, uh...

I'm gonna go get
the space suits,
all right?

Okay? To keep us warm.

I'll...

I'll be right back.

Okay.

I got it.

( groans )

Oh.

I'll take a little break.

I'll get the other one.

( shivers )

Hey, buddy.

I'm gonna go get
the second suit.

All right?

Jesus Christ.

( retches )

You can pass me that book.

( chuckles )

"Crime and Punishment."

Perfect.

Yeah.

I don't know what
I was thinking.

I never even opened it.

I don't blame you.

Whoever wrote that book
should be punished.

( snorts )

You hear that?

What?

It's quiet.

They'll be coming
for us soon.

I'm sure they'll be here
any second.

( gasps )

Will?

Yeah?

Where are you?

I'm-- I'm right here.

It's happening.

What?

I'm scared.

It's okay.

I'm right here.

Where do you think
I'm gonna go?

Somewhere good.
Somewhere better than here.

( sniffs )

It feels strange.

Nothing like I'd imagined.

( sighs )

I'll see you soon.

Jessie?

Daddy, don't let go.
It's not time.

I'll be waiting for you.

Wait, please.

Don't go.
