The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 2, Episode 10 - Worlds Apart - full transcript

SUSAN, HERE!

SUSAN! HERE!

GRAB MY HAND!
GRAB MY HAND!

GRAB MY HAND!

REACH MY HAND!

REACH MY HAND!

I CAN'T REACH!

GRAB MY HAND!

COME ON!

REACH! COME ON!

COME ON!
I GOT YOU!



SUSAN!

SUSAN!

SUSAN!

ARE YOU OKAY?

THERE'S SOMETHING DOWN THERE!
GOD! GOD, IT'S GOT ME!

SUSAN! SUSAN!

THANK GOD,

SIR, WE THOUGHT
YOU'D WANT

TO SEE THIS
IMMEDIATELY,

WE'LL HAVE
TO BRING IN THE CHAIRMAN,

USE PRIORITY-COM CHANNEL
TO REACH HER,

SHE WON'T BE HAPPY,

DON'T I KNOW IT,

SHE HASN'T SEEN
HER HUSBAND IN WEEKS,



THIS CAN'T WAIT,
WHAT SHOULD I SAY?

TELL HER... TELL HER

WE HAVE
AN EMERGENCY RETRIEVAL AT SEA,

TELL HER
THE S, O, S, JUST CAME IN,

S, O, S,?

YOU MEAN THAT SOMETHING MANNED

FELL OUT OF THE SKY?

I DIDN'T
THINK WE HAD

ANYTHING MANNED
IN ORBIT,

THAT'S JUST IT,

WE DON'T,

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH
YOUR TELEVISION,

DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO ADJUST THE PICTURE,

WE ARE NOW CONTROLLING
THE TRANSMISSION,

WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL

AND THE VERTICAL,

WE CAN DELUGE YOU
WITH A THOUSAND CHANNELS

OR EXPAND ONE SINGLE IMAGE
TO CRYSTAL CLARITY

AND BEYOND,

WE CAN SHAPE YOUR VISION

TO ANYTHING OUR IMAGINATION
CAN CONCEIVE,

FOR THE NEXT HOUR,

WE WILL CONTROL ALL THAT
YOU SEE AND HEAR,

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE
THE AWE AND MYSTERY

WHICH REACHES FROM
THE DEEPEST INNER MIND

TO THE OUTER LIMITS,

AS TECHNOLOGY EVOLVES,

THE MEANS
TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER

BECOME
INCREASINGLY SOPHISTICATED,

BUT WILL THESE MEANS
EVER BE SUFFICIENT

TO BRIDGE THE GAPS BETWEEN US?

OR WILL THEY ONLY SERVE
TO PULL US FURTHER APART?

MY STUDENTS HAVE FINALLY LEARNED

TO APPRECIATE
THE COMMON MOLLUSC,

I MEAN MORE THAN

JUST SOMETHING
TO EAT,

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE
MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT

TO COLLEGE KIDS?

PENIS SIZE,

OF COURSE,

WHAT WAS I THINKING?

ONCE THEY DISCOVERED
A CLAM'S SEX ORGAN

IS ROUGHLY HALF THE SIZE

OF ITS
ENTIRE BODY,

THE INEVITABLE
DEBATE RAGED...

IS SIZE
IMPORTANT?

WELL, IS IT?

IT IS TO A CLAM, I'M SURE,

MAYBE YOU SHOULD WRITE A PAPER,

I SHOULD,

NOT THAT YOU'D EVER
FIND TIME TO READ IT,

COME ON, THAT'S NOT FAIR,

YOU KNOW DAMN WELL
THE STRESS I'VE BEEN UNDER

SINCE MY APPOINTMENT
TO THE CHAIR,

YES, DARLING, I KNOW
THE STRESS WE'VE BEEN UNDER,

AND SPEAKING OF PAPERS,

SENATOR O'REILLY WAS QUOTED
IN THE TRIBUNE THIS MORNING

SPOUTING HIS USUAL RHETORIC
AGAINST THE AGENCY...

INEPT LEADERSHIP,

FISCAL MISMANAGEMENT,
ETCETERA,

HE'S KEEPING HIS FACE
IN THE NEWS BY DUMPING ON ME,

WHAT I'VE DONE,

EXCUSE ME IF I'VE
BROUGHT IT WITH ME,

O'REILLY'S ON THE ATTACK

BECAUSE HE'S TAKING
A BEATING IN THE POLLS,

PULLING OUT
OF THE PROGRAM WON'T HELP,

KEEPS HIM IN THE NEWS,

THE EUROPEANS
ARE WORRIED,

THE FRENCH
ARE TALKING

ABOUT DOING
THEIR OWN THING,

THEY'RE FIGHTING
WITH THE BRITS

OVER THAT
DAMN MOON BASE,

I WONDER
WHY I STAY ON SOMETIMES,

SO DO I,

SPEAKING-OF-THE-DEVIL AGENCY,

I TOLD THEM
PRIORITY MESSAGES ONLY,

I'M SORRY,

YEAH, SO AM I,

THANK GOD FOR THE NAVY,

TO GOOD FRIENDS,

WISH YOU WERE HERE,

DAMN IT, RAYMOND, HOW DID

THE PRESS FIND OUT?

SAME WAY WE DID,

THE CALL
DIDN'T COME IN

OVER
SECURE CHANNELS,

IT WAS SENT ON A C-BOX,

C- BOX?

COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE,

STANDARD ISSUE
ON THE VEGAN CAPSULES,

WASN'T THAT SERIES
DISCONTINUED

WHEN VEGAN 4
DISAPPEARED?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, DOCTOR,

SOMEWHERE IN LUNAR SPACE,
CARRYING THE ONLY

C- BOX THAT'S
UNACCOUNTED FOR,

DO WE KNOW WHO SENT THE SIGNAL?

A LIEUTENANT CHRISTOPHER LINDY,

CHRIS LINDY?

MY GOD, IS THAT POSSIBLE?

IT MIGHT BE BETTER
IF YOU CAME WITH ME,

FOR SECURITY REASONS,

WE'D PREFER TO HAVE YOU HERE,

WE'VE MADE A ROOM UP,
- IS THIS NECESSARY?

THIS IS
AN EMERGENCY RESCUE,

THE NEXT FEW HOURS
ARE CRITICAL,

PLEASE,

WE'D APPRECIATE IT,

SO LET'S BRING HIM IN,

FIND OUT WHAT HE'S BEEN
DOING FOR 20 YEARS,

WE'RE HAVING
DIFFICULTY GETTING

A FIX
ON THE SIGNAL,

WHY IS THAT?

PROBLEM WITH
THE RECEPTION,

MAYBE DAMAGE
TO THE BOX,

THE SIGNAL'S
COMING FROM

EVERYWHERE
AND NOWHERE,

THE NAVY'S ON ALERT
FOR RETRIEVAL...

WHICH BRINGS US
TO ANOTHER PROBLEM,

GOOD WORK,
CARRY ON,

SENATOR O'REILLY,

MADAME CHAIRPERSON,

I THOUGHT
I'D DROP IN,

WELCOME,

I'M PLEASED YOU'LL
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY

TO WATCH TALENTED
PEOPLE AT WORK,

OUR TAX DOLLARS
IN ACTION,

MONEY WELL SPENT,

IF YOU CAN
BRING HIM BACK,

WE'LL
BRING HIM BACK,

HARD TO RETRIEVE
WHAT YOU CAN'T FIND,

TEMPORARY PROBLEM,

LET'S HOPE SO,

I BROUGHT
DEFENSE ON BOARD,

ALL MILITARY RESOURCES
ARE FULLY ENGAGED,

THIS IS NOT
A MILITARY OPERATION, SENATOR,

WE STILL PAY THE BILLS,

WE'D LIKE
TO BRING HIM OURSELVES,

I'M NOT RISKING THE LIEUTENANT'S
LIFE FOR A PHOTO OPPORTUNITY,

IF THERE'S NO IMMEDIATE DANGER,
WHAT'S THE HARM IN US DOING IT?

WE FINALLY GOT A FIX ON HIM,

GOOD WORK...
WE'LL HAVE

OUR PEOPLE THERE
IMMEDIATELY,

IT'S NOT GOING
TO BE THAT SIMPLE,

THE ORIGIN POINT IS UNUSUAL,

HOW'S THAT?

SOURCE OF THE SIGNAL
ISN'T TERRESTRIAL,

WHERE THE HELL
IS IT COMING FROM?

QUADRANT J-55-6A
OF LOCAL SPACE,

JUST ABOVE
THE LUNAR SURFACE,

THIS PICTURE WAS
TAKEN 25 YEARS AGO

BY AN ORBITING
TELESCOPE,

PART OF A LONG-TERM
MAPPING PROGRAM,

YOU CAN SEE IT'S
NOTHING EXTRAORDINARY,

THIS SHOT
WAS TAKEN

FIVE YEARS LATER

JUST BEFORE
VEGAN 4 ENTERED,

IT WAS JUST
A ROUTINE FLIGHT,

IT COULDN'T
HAVE BEEN MORE ROUTINE,

THEY WERE SENT TO FIX

THE SAME TELESCOPE
THAT TOOK THESE PICTURES,

THEY WERE AN HOUR AWAY FROM IT
WHEN RADIO CONTACT WAS LOST,

THE S, O, S,
CAME OUT OF THAT BLUR?

THIS SHOT WAS
TAKEN A FEW HOURS AGO,

IT'S A WORM-HOLE,

EXACTLY,

IT'S IN LOCAL SPACE?
WHY HAVEN'T WE SEEN IT BEFORE?

IT'S RELATIVELY SMALL AND
LOCATED IN A LOW ACTIVITY AREA,

WITHOUT LINDY'S SIGNAL
WE'D STILL MISS IT,

IT APPEARS THAT WORM-HOLES
OPEN AND CLOSE LIKE A DOOR,

A DOOR? INTO WHAT?

IT'S A CORRIDOR
THROUGH SPACE-TIME,

AN ENTRANCE TO A ROOM
SITTING NEXT TO THE MOON,

FOR AS LONG
AS THE DOOR REMAINS OPEN,

DISTANT SPACE
BECOMES LOCAL SPACE,

BUT THE PASSAGE CREATES
TIME DISTORTION PATTERNS

THAT EXPLAIN WHY WE'RE ONLY
NOW RECEIVING VEGAN 4'S S.O.S.?

BOTTOM LINE?

THROW OUT YOUR IDEAS
OF SPACE-TIME,

20 YEARS TO US

COULD BE 20 MINUTES
TO LIEUTENANT LINDY,

HE COULD BE A THOUSAND
LIGHT-YEARS FROM HERE,

AND ALL ALONE,

WE HAVE TO REACH OUT TO HIM,

HOW DO YOU PROPOSE DOING THAT?

BEAM A SIGNAL
INTO THE WORM-HOLE,

HE'S SENDING,
HE CAN PROBABLY RECEIVE,

WE'LL RESURRECT
AN OLD C-BOX,

AND GET THE UNITS TALKING,

IF WE DO? WHAT THEN?

WE TELL HIM
WE'RE COMING FOR HIM,

YOU MUST BE KIDDING,

OUR MANDATE WAS NOT ONLY
TO PUT A MAN IN SPACE

BUT ALSO TO BRING HIM BACK,

I REALIZE THAT, BUT...

HOW LONG WILL
THIS DOOR STAY OPEN?

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT
I WAS AFRAID OF,

WHAT THE HELL?

SHIT!

IT'S NOT EVEN 6:00,

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I HAD A BAD DREAM,

I'M GOING FOR A WALK,

IT'S LINDY, ISN'T IT?

WHY CAN'T
SOMEONE ELSE HANDLE THIS?

THERE IS NO ONE ELSE,

IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY,

IT'S MY JOB,

YOU'RE TOO CLOSE TO THIS,

GO BACK TO SLEEP,

KNOW WHY NO WOMAN
WILL MARRY YOU?

YOU LOOK TOO GOOD
IN THE MORNING,

IS IT MORNING
ALREADY?

ANY WORD?

HE'S ON-LINE,
HE'S OKAY,

IT'S NOT
THE BEST CONNECTION,

BUT WE
CAN TALK,

WHEN DO
WE CONNECT?

20 MINUTES AGO,

IF YOU'RE
STILL THINKING

ABOUT BRINGING
HIM BACK...

NO MORE THINKING,

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING,

YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?

WE DON'T KNOW THE EFFECT

IT COULD HAVE
ON OTHERS ENTERING,

IT COULD COLLAPSE AT ANY TIME,

UNTIL WE KNOW MORE,
A RESCUE MISSION IS UNFEASIBLE,

YOUR OPINION IS NOTED,
PROFESSOR,

BUT IT'S MY CALL,

HE DID ASK
SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU,

WHAT HAVE
YOU TOLD HIM?

NOTHING...
SO FAR AS HE KNOWS,

THE LAST 20 YEARS
HAVEN'T HAPPENED YET,

20 YEARS,

CHRIS?

CHRIS?

IT'S NANCY,

CHRIS,
ARE YOU THERE?

YEAH,

YEAH, I'M STILL HERE,

WHEREVER HERE IS,

GOD, IT'S...

IT'S GOOD TO HEAR
YOUR VOICE AGAIN, NANCY,

I REALLY MISS YOU,

I MISS YOU TOO,

ALL I'M GETTING
FROM YOU, COLONEL,

IS HOW IMPOSSIBLE RECOVERY IS,

YESTERDAY
I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE

TO GO OUTSIDE OUR SOLAR SYSTEM,

SENATOR, WE'RE
STUDYING EVERY OPTION,

AND THE WORLD'S STUDYING YOU,

THERE ISN'T A PERSON
ON THIS PLANET

WHO ISN'T TUNING
INTO LINDY'S TRANSMISSIONS,

IT ISN'T LIKE PULLING HIM
OUT OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC,

WE NEED TIME,

YOU HEARD
HIS LAST MESSAGE,

HE'S SCARED
AND ALONE,

I WON'T LET AN AMERICAN
BECOME FOOD FOR SOME JELLYFISH,

HE DIDN'T SAY
IT WAS A JELLYFISH,

HE SAID IT RESEMBLED ONE,

WOULD YOU WANT IT
SWIMMING AROUND YOU?

THAT'S ENOUGH,

SENATOR, WE WANT HIM
BACK AS MUCH AS YOU,

NANCY, THE LOGISTICS
OF THIS ARE STAGGERING,

DAMN IT, RAYMOND, I KNOW THAT,

WE HAVE TO MOVE,

I NEED OUR OPTIONS... NOW,

WELL, THERE MIGHT
BE A SHOT FROM THE MOON,

YOU'RE SENDING
IN SOME GEOLOGISTS?

THERE'S A SOLUTION,

THE FRENCH HAVE A SMALL NUMBER

OF LEGIONNAIRES
THERE FOR TRAINING,

AND THE HESIOD SHUTTLE,

SOMETHING
I BELIEVE

WE LOANED
THEM, SENATOR,

TO OUR EVER-LASTING REGRET,

IT'S TOUGHER
THAN THE VEGAN SERIES,

IT'LL FOLLOW HIS SIGNAL IN,

PROVIDED THE FRENCH
WILL AUTHORIZE ITS USE,

PAPERWORK SHOULD
TAKE A FEW HOURS,

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, SENATOR,
YOU BETTER HURRY,

OUR WINDOW IS TIGHT,

THE WORM-HOLE'S CLOSING FAST,

THEN WE'D BETTER NOT WASTE TIME,

WE'D BETTER
PUT A CARE PACKAGE TOGETHER,

IF WE CAN'T RETRIEVE HIM,
HE'LL HAVE THAT,

WE'LL COORDINATE
WITH THOSE ON THE MOON,

NO MATTER
HOW GOOD THE HESIOD IS,

IT WASN'T DESIGNED
TO LAND ON WATER,

EVEN I KNOW THAT,

IT WAS DESIGNED TO LAND

ON VIRTUALLY
ANY TERRESTRIAL SURFACE,

IF LINDY CAN REACH LAND,
THEY CAN GET HIM,

IF HE CAN ESCAPE
THE LOCAL FOOD CHAIN,

AND AS FAR AS I KNOW,
WE DON'T HAVE ANY EXPERTISE

ON WHATEVER
IT IS

THAT'S FOLLOWING
THE RAFT,

ANYTHING
INTERESTING?

NOT REALLY,
SAME OLD NEWS,

I NEED YOUR HELP,

YOU'RE THE BEST IN YOUR FIELD,

WE NEED THE BEST,

WHATEVER YOU WANT,

WHAT WAS THAT FOR?

I LOVE YOU,

NOW HELP US
BRING HIM HOME,

I GUESS IT'S TIME
TO MEET THE NEIGHBOURS,

GOOD GOD,

WE'LL HAVE LAUNCH FROM THE MOON
IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.

NO FOUL-UPS,

THE AGENCY HAS AUTHORITY
OVER THE HESIOD,

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT
TRANSFERRED JURISDICTION

FOR ALL ON-BOARD PERSONNEL,

- WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE.
- THANK YOU.

YOUR ADVANCED
INVERTEBRATE BIOLOGY

WAS REQUIRED READING
IN MY GRADUATE PROGRAM,

MY SYMPATHIES,

EXTEND THEM
TO LINDY TOO,

IT'S PART OF THE LIBRARY
WE'RE SENDING HIM ON THAT C-BOX,

ALL COURTESY OF
THE NEW INFINITE DISKS,

TELL ME ABOUT
THIS CREATURE,

BETTER IF
HE TELLS YOU HIMSELF,

LIEUTENANT?

DR, TILLMAN?

THANK GOD,

NANCY TELLS ME
YOU'RE THE BEST,

NICE OF HER TO SAY,

NOW, LIEUTENANT,

YOU'VE DESCRIBED THIS THING
AS A TYPE OF JELLYFISH,

COULD YOU ELABORATE FOR ME?

IT LOOKS LIKE
A HUGE TRANSLUCENT UMBRELLA,

MEDUSA SHAPED?

YEAH,
THAT'S RIGHT,

THE TENTACLES
EXTEND FROM BENEATH IT,

AND HOW BIG ARE THEY?

UM...

TEN FEET LONG,

CAN YOU GIVE US
A MINUTE, LIEUTENANT?

JUDGING FROM THEIR SIZE,

I'D SAY THOSE TENTACLES
AREN'T DESIGNED

TO ATTACK ANYTHING
AS INSIGNIFICANT AS A MAN,

BUT SOMETHING
MUCH, MUCH LARGER,

THE RAFT,

THAT CREATURE
MAY NOT PREY ON LINDY

IF IT SEES
THE RAFT AS A BETTER MEAL,

GREG, YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS,

I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE,

BUT YOU'RE SUGGESTING
THAT HE LEAVE THE RAFT,

I'M CONSIDERING IT,

YOU CAN'T SEND HIM

INTO THE PITCH BLACK WATER
WITH THAT THING,

IF HE DOESN'T, HE'LL BE DEAD

BEFORE YOUR MISSION
PULLS HIM OFF THE SHORE,

HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
IF THERE'S A SHORE,

THIS THING MIGHT HURT HIM,

SO, YOU...

THINK HE COULD
SWIM THROUGH THIS THING?

NO GUARANTEES,

BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER
THE ALTERNATIVES...

THERE'S NO WAY
I'M LEAVING WITHOUT SUPPLIES,

I COULD BE
STUCK HERE,

NOT IF WE CAN HELP IT,

YOU'RE COMING AFTER ME?

A SHIP IS ON ITS WAY,

ALL YOU MUST DO
IS GET ON LAND,

THAT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE,

LET ME SEE IF I CAN
BUY MYSELF SOME TIME,

SO FAR
SO GOOD,

HE'S STILL
WITH US,

THIS IS TAKING FOREVER,

THERE'S
A MESSAGE

COMING FROM
THE HESIOD,

LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE,

WHO'S RUNNING
THE SHOW?

KNOW HIM? IT'S GUY LECLERC,

HE WOULDN'T CHECK IN
IF IT WASN'T SERIOUS,

LINE SECURE?
ABSOLUTELY,

PATCH HIM IN,

COMMANDER LECLERC,
I HAVE

CHAIRMAN MACDONALD
HERE,

GOOD AFTERNOON,
COMMANDER,

CAN YOU STILL
TRACK LINDY'S BEACON?

BARELY,
MADAME CHAIRPERSON,

PERHAPS WHEN
WE PASS THROUGH

THE RIFT,
IT'LL IMPROVE,

I DON'T KNOW
HOW VEGAN 4 DID IT,

OUR NAVIGATION
SYSTEM IS DEAD,

THE SHIP'S
TAKING A BEATING,

THERE'S
A GRAVITATIONAL FLUX

COMING OUT
OF THE WORM-HOLE,

HOW CLOSE ARE YOU?

WE ARE JUST MINUTES AWAY,

IT'S
CHANGING SHAPE,

ONE MINUTE,
COMMANDER,

THE WORM-HOLE'S
COLLAPSING,

WE SHOULD
PULL BACK,

THEY'RE
RIGHT THERE,

EVEN IF THEY
GET THROUGH,

THEY STILL MUST
GET TO LINDY,

THEY HAVE
HIS BEACON,

THE WORM-HOLE'S BECOMING
SOMETHING DIFFERENT,

IT COULD DUMP
THE HESIOD,

WE WON'T
GET ANOTHER SHOT,

THERE'S 12 PEOPLE
ABOARD THAT SHIP,

EACH OF WHOM
KNEW THE RISK

WHEN
THEY SIGNED ON,

SO DID LINDY,

THAT'S THE PRICE
OF SPACE EXPLORATION,

HE WOULDN'T EXPECT
THE HESIOD TO BE SACRIFICED,

COMMANDER, ARE YOU ABLE
TO MAINTAIN YOUR POSITION?

IT'S DIFFICULT,
BUT WE WILL TRY,

AWAIT MY WORD,

WHAT THE HELL
ARE WE WAITING FOR?

WE'RE WITHIN
INCHES OF HIM,

THERE'S A LOT AT STAKE HERE,

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT THERE IS,

WE FINALLY
SENT HUMANITY TO THE STARS,

THINK OF WHAT
HE'S EXPERIENCED,

YOU PULL THIS OFF,
AND THE WORLD

WILL SUPPORT
YOUR SPACE EFFORT,

THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN
FIGHTING FOR ALL THIS TIME,

I'LL EVEN SUPPORT YOU,

BUT YOU TURN BACK
WHEN WE'RE THIS CLOSE,

WITHOUT EVEN MAKING AN EFFORT,

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME
SHUTTING YOU DOWN,

WORLD OPINION
WILL DO THAT FOR ME,

GET LECLERC BACK,

HAVE HIM GET
AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE

WITHOUT BEING PULLED IN,

I WANT HIM READY TO GO
AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE,

YOU CAN'T GO AHEAD WITH THIS,

YOUR OPINION IS NOTED,
PROFESSOR,

AND I'M CONSIDERING IT,

PEOPLE DON'T ENJOY
NATURE ENOUGH,

THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
THE THERAPEUTIC VALUE TO IT,

I OUGHT TO DO
AN EMPERICAL STUDY,

GOD KNOWS IT WOULD
BE A HELL OF LOT BETTER

THAN MEASURING
THE LENGTH OF BI-VALVES,

OR PEOPLE'S
LIVES,

THE MEN AND WOMEN
OF THE HESIOD,

I SHOULD
KNOW SOMETHING

ABOUT THEM
IF I'M SENDING THEM

INTO SOMETHING THEY
MAY NOT RETURN FROM,

WHO ARE THEY?

CHILDREN,

THEY'RE JUST KIDS,

THEY ALL LOOK
SO IMPOSSIBLY YOUNG,

JUST LIKE CHRIS
DID WHEN HE LEFT,

ALL DRESSED UP,

EAGER TO LEAVE
THE WORLD BEHIND,

EAGER TO
LEAVE ME BEHIND,

WAS HE?

I DON'T KNOW,
PROBABLY NOT,

SURE SEEMED SO AT THE TIME,

AND IF YOU COULD
TURN THE CLOCK BACK?

I'D STILL BE
STANDING ON THAT BEACH,

STILL SCREAMING AT HIM AS
HE GAVE US UP FOR THE STARS,

SEEMED SO EASY
FOR HIM,

THAT'S WHAT HURT SO MUCH,

I TRIED TO UNDERSTAND,

GOD... I TRIED,

BUT WHEN I LOOKED INTO HIS EYES,

HE'D ALREADY GONE,

HE'D ALREADY LEFT ME FAR BEHIND,

I'M SURE IT WAS A DIFFICULT
SACRIFICE FOR HIM TO MAKE,

IT'S INTOXICATING,
YOU KNOW?

PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES
OF WHAT'S KNOWN,

TRAVELLING
ON THE EDGE OF NEW WORLDS,

IT'S SOMETHING...
DEEP INSIDE OF US,

THIS NEED
TO TOUCH THE FACE OF GOD,

YOU SOUND ENVIOUS,

HE'S IN A PLACE
WE'VE NEVER BEEN,

SEEING THINGS
WE CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE,

EVERY DAY I GO TO MY LAB,

AND OCCASIONALLY,
IF I'M LUCKY,

I CATCH
A GLIMMER OF IT,

I THINK THE TWO OF YOU
ARE MORE ALIKE THAN I THOUGHT,

MAYBE,

BUT WITH A HUGE DIFFERENCE,

I WOULDN'T GIVE YOU UP
FOR ANYTHING,

I CAN'T HOLD MUCH LONGER,

IT'S GETTING LATE,

WHERE IS SHE?

RIGHT HERE AND AWARE
OF THE TIMETABLE,

THEN GIVE THEM THE WORD,

LINDY
SENT THE OKAY,

HE'S REACHED LAND,

BUT THE DOOR'S
CLOSING FAST,

I'VE TOLD HIM,
HE SHOULD KNOW THE RISK,

YOU HEAR THAT?

THIS IS IT,

THERE IS NO MORE TIME,

COMMANDER, DO YOU STILL HAVE
LIEUTENANT LINDY'S COORDINATES?

BARELY...
WE'RE BEING TORN APART,

ARE WE ON?

NO,
YES!

I ALREADY LOST ONE CREW,

WE WON'T LOSE ANOTHER,

NOT FOR ONE MAN,

I'M HERE TO STAY,

ONE MOMENT, LIEUTENANT,

WE CAN'T
LISTEN TO HIM,

HE DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT HE'S SAYING,

YES, HE DOES,

AND HE'S RIGHT,

JETTISON THE CARE PACKAGE,

WE'RE PULLING BACK,

AND COMMANDER?

YES?

NO MISTAKES,

THESE MAY BE
THE LAST SUPPLIES HE RECEIVES

FOR A VERY LONG TIME,

AS A MATTER OF HONOR,
IT WILL REACH ITS DESTINATION,

THANK YOU, COMMANDER,

WHAT WILL
YOU TELL HIM?

THE TRUTH,

20 YEARS?

MY GOD,

IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS?

WHERE DID ALL
THAT GO, NANCY?

WHERE DID ALL
THAT TIME GO?

WISH I HAD AN ANSWER,

GUESS
IT WAS FATE,

FATE JUST PUT ME IN A PLACE
WHERE I WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE,

BUT WITH A BONUS,

I GOT
REAL LUCKY,

I GOT CHANCE
TO REACH OUT YOU.

ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE GALAXY,

I GOT A CHANCE

TO REACH ACROSS
SPACE AND TIME

TO TOUCH YOU
AGAIN,

TO SAY GOODBYE
THE RIGHT WAY THIS TIME,

IT WAS SOMETHING OF US
THAT'S... KEPT ME SAFE,

THE DISTANCES BETWEEN US,

SO VAST AND SO CLOSE,
ARE SO EASILY BRIDGED,

NOT BY WHAT WE MAKE
BUT BY WHAT WE FEEL.
