Quality over Quantity (QoQ) Releases The Space Between Us (2017) by Cush
Translation: Cush
"I want to go to Mars.
"And not just to visit, I want to live there.
"Because then I would be living proof that life on Mars is possible.
"Prove that if we had to, mankind could make a fresh start.
"We're in trouble, and that's our fault.
"We do not have much time and Mother Nature doesn't negotiate.
"We can't give up. Not now.
"Mars is a planet, ripe and ready for life.
"Though it's resources maybe depleted...
"But there is one resource that we must not neglect.
"The most valuable and it's the one without limits:
"Courage."
I wrote those word...I wrote those words when I was twelve years old.
My letter to the White House.
Never did I imagine that the president would read them aloud to a nation ...
mourned the loss of yet another crew of astronauts.
Never did I dream...
That I would be proclaimed a "emblem of fortitude."
A young man with a singuler vision.
And the rest is well...
Not history, just the beginning.
Here we all are.
Thanks to Genesis Space Technologies ...
In 20 hours Magellan 61 will travel six astronauts to Mars.
Not to visit but to live there. The first true citizens of Mars.
From a childhood vision to the greatest space endeavor the world has ever attempted:
The settlement is known as "East Texas, Mars".
Come on say it with me: Just add water.
Well what ever I'am...
I can not begin to compare to these six heroes.
Living examples of courage without limits.
And on that note I would like to hand things off to the mission head of this ...
historic expedition:
The lead astronaut.... Sarah Elliot.
Sorry if we only have time for a couple of questions.
You know what it's like the night before a trip.
Scott Hubbard, Aerospace Times.
Miss Elliot how does it feel to sacrifice the next four years of your life to Mars?
It's not a sacrifice, it's an opportunity.
I feel, I feel hummbled, excited and grateful for chance to be a pioneer.
Miss Elliot, aren't you scared, given the history, given the dangers?
Of course.
I'm scared that I might let the mission down in some way.
I was taught, that, people who took risks without fear we're brave.
Well far braver those who take risks despite their fear.
Courage is fear that has said it's prayers.
T minus ten, nine, eight ...
seven, six, five, four ...
three, two, one, zero.
Ignition.
This is the launch of Magellan 61.
Standby for docking to Mars transfer vehicle.
Magellan speed is good.
Watch your temp, Sarah.
Contact.
Not yet, not yet.
Manual capture.
On to Mars.
TWO MONTHS LATER
You okay? - Ya I'm fine.
Sarah, can I have a word? - What's up?
Show it to me.
We can't just turn the mission around correct?
Doctor how she doing anyway? - Besides being mordified?
She's fine. - Come on this is a disaster.
Nathaniel she's due shortly after they arrival. We need to get out in front of this.
An astronaut behavior irresponsible and NASA will make a decision what to do as soon as the baby is born.
Decision about what? - About when to bring them back.
Tom, there is a bigger issue here.
Subjecting a fetus to zero gravity during it's entire gestation.
This is uncharted territory.
We do not go to press, we keep this internal for now.
We need too gather more information. - What are you saying?
I'm saying we go short term contingency. We have Dr Loh deliver the baby on Mars.
We keep this quit, we, we wait this out.
Sarah has behaved irresponsibly, but she is no longer just an astronaut ...
and it's not just a Genesis decision. She's ...
A mother now.
It's her decision too.
You got to push, push, push, push, push.
Good. Take a deep breath, push, push, push.
Well done, Sarah.
Keep breathing. You're doing good.
One final push. - Take a deep breath. Push, push.
Is he healthy? - Well done.
He looks good, he looks good.
Serah, Sarah, her heart rate drops. - Pregnancy Poisoning.
Two milligrams of lorazepam. Take it easy.
She still does not respond. - Give her 20 milligrams.
Hurry up. Before her heart arrests.
Come on, Sarah, breathe.
How long? - Thirty minutes without a heartbeat.
Stop, stop CPR.
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone.
Mr. Shepherd, are you there?
We lost her.
Okay! Here's what we know.
Two-thirds less gravity will alter the child's internal organs.
The heart will simply not be conditioned to have the strength to pump in the Earth's gravity.
Bones will be brittle, probable over sized.
The child will never survive the trip back to Earth. - Ya but the thing is, in the eyes of the world ...
Isn't this whole mission, East Texas, an experiment and wouldn't we be forgive?
Experiment....Tom, this is not a mouse. This is not an monkey.
This is a human being, and in the eyes of the world ...
the Lead astronaut with Genesis Mars Mission not only got pregnant, but died in childbirth ...
sentencing a baby to a motherless existence in outer space.
Imagine the bloody outcry.
East Texas runs on money, science, good faith ...
and above all, good PR.
We not only talking about a secret, we talking about a cover-up.
It will bring the company down.
Unless ... - Unless what?
Unless we don't cover up, we take full responsibility, we face it head on.
Tom, I want to be on the next mission. - As a passenger?
Yes -Nathaniel, for the love of G ... Here we go again.
No, actually he's right. There would be no better show of support.
Thank you Alice, exactly. Imagine their morale right now. They've Just lost their leader.
Nathaniel it's out of the question and you know it.
Am I missing something here? - Doctor, will you enlighten Alice please?
Hydrocefalie.
We found it on Mr. Shepard's very first medical, a congenital brain disorder.
It's basically benign. - Benign unless he wants to go into outspace, and then ...
And what if I'm willing to take that risk? - Sorry, not happening.
So the child remains on Mars?
I don't se...
We don't have a choice.
Say we come clean and we lose our Financing.
Say we..we, we give up, everything we fought for.
Say we bring everyone home. You heard the doctor the child wouldn't even make the trip.
Keeping this a secrecy, saves the company...
which saves East Texas, which saves the child.
So the child remains classified?
Yes.
I'm sorry. Yes.
Can I bring your car around Mr. Shepard?
Entering stratospheric flight.
Entering stratospheric flight. Entering Exofserische flight.
Approaching outer space. Altitude reached. Altitude reached.
Increase velocity. Increase velocity. Danger.
Increase velocity. Danger.
PLANE DESTROYED: ALL KILLED
all perish.
16 YEARS LATER
Ha! There you are.
Cantaur, can you make me a map? - And what is it you'ld like a map of Gardner Elliot?
A path way through the ventilation system from my quarters to the storage facility on East Texas.
And why would you like that information? - That's none of your business.
It is my business, I'm your best friend.
No, you're a machine with rudimentary artificial intelligence.
A machine which I helped to build. - That hurts my feelings.
You don't have feelings. - I do have feeling, I'm your best friend.
I'm your teacher, your homey hug it out.
Get me a map of the ventilation system. - Information classified.
I'm sorry. -No I'm sorry.
Information classified, Gardner don't, I am your friend.
Garner, stop. Once upon time deep in 15 acre wood...
frogzy found owl setting on his door step....
Ha! Ha! Cantaur, look who just bypassed the East Texas infrastructure firewall program.
ENTER NUMBER IN MISSION

We do not have much time, and ...
"Mother Nature doesn't negotiate."

The irrigator on 23 is blocked.
By the way I can't reach Centaur. What have you done with him this time?
Are you checking up on me? - Thanks Tony. No, I'm checking up on the Centaur.
Ya, who checks up on me.
You don't fooled me, Gardner Elliot. You never have.
23 should be clear.
Really?
Thanks alot.

Because misery loves company. - Why are you miserable?
Just dealing with basic people of this school.
You know everybodies always fronting. Nobody ever real, you know.
My best friend isn't even real. - Tell me about it.
Any way, the second I turn 18, I'm so outta here. Emancipation...
"Emancipation, mobility, music."
You making fun of me Gardner? - No Tulsa, I just wish I could go with you.
You've been saying since last summer. And you can.
No I can't. - Oh right, you can't leave your house.
It's not a house, it is a penthouse on Park Avenue.
I can't leave because of my disease.
Osteogenesis imperfecta. - Ya still don't believe you.
wont your foster dad be unhappy? - Yes, no more checks from the state.
Ya city lab is over, gota go. See you in the funny papers.
What does that mean?
You always say that. What does it mean?
I do not know. I had a foster sister in Oklahoma who use to say it all the time.
Just a different way of saying 'goodbye', I like it. Talk tomorrow?
I'm not going anywhere.
Where did you get this movie?
One of the German scientists who was here last month left it behind.
How you know what's going on? - Hoe weet je waar het gaat bit.
Excuse me? - It's easy.
You see those men there? They're angels.
They look over the people on earth and make sure their okay.
Do you see that angel?
He going to falls in love with her and falls to earth.
You're a romantic.
Then he wont be an angel anymore, he'll be just like her.
Hey, Tulsa, give us a ride, slut. - I have a Harley you can ride.
Come here. Come here.
What up Chuck? Well don't get up cause of me.

UNLOCKED
Okay, the starter.
Try the brakes. - Doesn't have brakes.
Alright Check the sprays.
Check. -Not while I'm standing behind the plane.
Okay, okay we're going to loss the property. - You do it.
What -You can fly this thing. You do it.
Awesome parenting. Seriously risking my life for 190 bucks.
Good to know how much my life is worth to you.
SARAH ELLIOT United States Air Force
9 SEPTEMBER 1984 25 JANUARY 2018
It's okay, I've got you.
Your okay, your okay, your okay. I'm right here.
Are you insane? Do you think that the egress protocol don't apply to you?
You could cause an atmospheric breach, not to mention died.
Nobody rides unaccompanied, no matter who they are.
Gardner, what going on here? This isn't like you.
You wouldn't understand. My mother is out there.
How did you get passed the electronic lock?
That magnetic implant is there to monitors the growth of your organs. Not to serve as a pass key.
And how did you even learn how to do that? - Raised by scientists in a bubble.
Open.
That plaque for your mother, is just a piece of metal in the ground, okay.
Her ashes were spread across the Pacific Ocean.
You deserve to know that.
She's not out there, Gardner.
She's in you.
I don't like going to sleep with us fighting.
We're not going to fight. -Okay
This how you greet an old friend?
If he's unannounced, yes.
It's about the boy.
Mr. Shepherd, you have no idea how smart he is.
He's being denied connection. Not to do this at this point...
I'm sorry it would be inhuman. - Miss William, I'm touched by your concern, I really am ...
but none of this matter, if he can't survive. We been through this.
For starters we would have to add carbon nanotubes to strengthen his bones density.
It's a very complex procedure. It's, it's, it's too risky. I'm sorry, Tom.
I, I can't sign on to this.
With all due respect Nathaniel, I'm not ask. I'm telling you.
You've been gone for 16 years you dropped of the face of the Earth. - Have you run this by NASA?
NASA has always felt conflicted over this. They want to do the right thing, which this is.
They want to bring the boy, home.
Look this is our chance to turn bad PR into good PR.
O' wait a minute this has nothing to do with PR. I..I'm talking about a boy's, life.
Hanah, Hanah, like it or not, I..I'm still the founder.
Like it or not, East Texas is st..still my brainchild.
You know, you got a lot more faith in how public will respond than I do.
Gardner .... I have some news.
Guess what.
EARTH 225 million KM
You're taking me to Bora-Bora?
That was a joke, as you were.
They may have found a cure for my disease.
Okay.. mine was closer to the truth.
But mine is the truth.
It will involve an operation.
And some physical therapy.
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, you've got it, you've got it, keep going.
There you go, remember what you're running for.
Assuming all goes well, I'm coming to see you.
Cool and when is this happening?
In a few months, there's a load of travel involved.
You know, don't take forever. Once foster care spits me out, I'm gone.
See you in the funny papers.
File 32: human courtship.
Here we are. Allow me wont you?
Well I guess chivalry is not entirely dead, at lest not in Nantucket.
"At lest not in Nantucket." Repeat.
Here we are. Allow me wont you?
Chivalry is not entirely dead, at lest not in Nantucket.
Bravo. Well done.
Are you goen visit your ex-husband?
I hacked into the scientists records.
Aren't you the clever computer stalker.
Why did you get divorced?
Well, he changed when we found out I couldn't have children.
Did that...did that make sad, that you couldn't have children?
That's a tough one.
Wasn't enough to choose.
Motherhood wasn't a dream I was chasings at the time.
My father is somewhere on that thing.
Earth, we can go and find him.
We don't have to tell him who I am. I can just...see him, you know.
Maybe I can ask for the time. Nobody has to know.
Do you know where he lives? - No.
His name?
Gardner I promise I..I don't know anything about him. Nobody knows.
How am I suppost to act on Earth? With the people.
Mr. Shepherd?
Your coffee.
PRESENT MISSION CREW
Excuse me Sir, do you have an appointment? Sir -Tom -Sir
Tom -Nathaniel ... what are you doing here? - I'm here to meet him.
Impossible. - No, no what's impossible ...
Is shuttling back and forth to Mars, what's impossible is biulding our salvation there.
But I have made those thing happen, so don't tell me what's impossible.
Gardner, Gardner how are you feeling?
Water. - You okay?
Water.
You thirsty? - No, no there is ...
Take a second. - There is water everywhere.
I feel so heavy.
But light, is that normal? - I believe the term is 'euphoria'.
Sorry about the quarantine.
It's to protect you from us, not us from you.
Same bubble, different planet. Nothing has changed, has it.
Well except that.
It's so blue... and green. There's so many colors.
I'm Nathaniel Shepherd. How you doing?
I'm fine. Ya I just, I just weigh so much.
I know who you are.
O' I want to be them.
And that's funny, because they want to be you.
I have got so many questions about Mars.
Not as many as I have about Earth. - No, you'd be surprise you.
I'll go first. What's your favourite thing about earth?
Rain. My turn.
What's your favourite thing to do on Mars? - To pretend it's the earth. My turn.
Did you seen my mother die? - No.
Yes.
Yes. I'm, I'm Sorry.
What scares you? - You. You're very disarming.
Are you going to keep going out of turn? - Yes.
Can I stay on earth? - I can't answer that.
Why rain? - Because it washes everything clean, Gardner.
Kendra. - Hello.
We meet in person. How do you feel?
Heavy.
So what's giving me some concerned is the inconsistencies in the last batch of test.
What about blood? - Blood work is Virtual normal, but if we are going to ...
Virtual? Virtual is that what we do around here now?
Virtual because I like to think we thought about because it subscribes more to definite thinking -Meaning. -Meaning..
Troponin. Meaning test for troponin in him is my point.
Run the tests for troponin, please. - Troponin, troponin then it is.
Hey.....They need to do more tests.
They already did their tests. They said I'm fine.
I Know. I know. -I'm, I'm more then fine. - Hey.
They're sending me back to Mars aren't they? - They didn't say that.
Well, they don't have to.
Attention. -There's been a breach. - Where?
Quarantine.
Word of warning guys, these are the real deal.
The boots are weighted for gravity compensation. As if you were from Mars returning to Earth.
It going to feel very different.
I don't believe this, he's turned the pressure. - Raised by scientists.
Lock it down. This is not a drill.
There he is.
Where's that go? - Zone H. He headed to service.
Relax. It's a dead end.
He changed. Okay guys check the loading dock.
UNLOCKED
Thanks.
Alright, you can go.
I have to talk to you. Gardner trust me he doesn't trust you.
Kendra give me a minute. We need teams at the Washington Avenue Amtrak station ...
the airport and and cover the bus stations, ya. - I'm coming with you.
Kendra thank you, but I'm good. State police are helping with blockades.
They've been told he needs a heart transplant and a donor suddenly become available.
I promise, I promise I will keep you updated.
You claim to be concerned about Gardner Health but think you care more about keeping him secret.
You were saying?
It's one of four ambulances. Come on.
You found Waldo.
I'm Gardner.
This fire, it's so, it's so warm.
I like your shade. - I like yours.
You want to trade?
Do you know where Colorado is? - Used to.
The Grey Hound station is about a 3 iron in that direction.
Golf reference. Do you play? - Used to.
What's your favourite thing about Earth?
Dreaming. How about you?
So far...
meeting you.
Weird kid.
This is so cool.
Open.
Close. Open.
What's your favourite thing about Earth?
How do we know for sure he's going to see her?
Because she's only person he knows on earth. - Alright. Read that to me.
Here she is.
Ah, she was left at the Tulsa Oklahoma child welfare services when she was four year old.
A girl named Tulsa happened to be abandoned in Tulsa?
It's a nickname. She's lived in five foster homes over the last twelve years.
Does she know his story? - He told her, he was confined to a Park Avenue Penthouse ...
and had osteogenesis imperfecta. Brittle bones.
We'll be interested in a sand trap. We'll land close but not to close. I don't want to spook him.
Hey, hello. - Get away from me. -Okay.
Hey Men.
Tulsa, Tulsa it's it's me.
It's Gardner. SLAP
OW! What what was that for? - Why did Ghost me like that?
Ghost? -You completely flipped me off. You didn't returned any of my message.
I told you I was taking a trip?
For seven months? People have phones, you know, you text, email.
I couldn't contact you. It was, it was a very specific type of travel.
Very specific type of travel? Who even talk like that?
Tulsa can you slow down? This gravity it's very heavy.
O' I'm sorry this is heavy for you but I really do not appricate being blown off by the one person who I don't...
Tulsa I would, I would never... Ghost on you.
Okay I've actually gone through quite a lot to get here.
"The only person who what"?
Who I don't hate.
You're taller than I thought you'd be. - You're meaner than I thought you'd be.
What are you wearing? This is so weird.
Look I have a lab okay so ... I don't know.
Can you just stay here? Alright do not move, Gardner.
And those were the highlights of the 19th century industrial revolution.
Now! The 20th century saw some of the greatest inventions ...
Hello. -Hello -And you are? - Gardner.
Are you a transfer student? - Okay.
Where are you from Gardner? - East Texas.
I don't think I have you on my roster. -Okay
Alright folks. Telephone, phonograph ...
I told you to wait for me. - I've waited long enough.
... Of one father. Who is he? - Thomas Edison.
Good. Give me a fact about Thomas Edison. - Dude was bad ass.
Edison wasn't a bad ass. - Excuse me?
Edison invented direct current, but it was Nikola Tesla who invented alternating current.
Edison got jealous and claimed AC electrocuted pets.
To prove it he electrocuted an elephant.
That's not a bad ass, that's a bad person.
You see folks you learn something new every day. Thanks you ah...
Excuse me that our emergency eye wash station.
So the operation worked. Are you all better now? -Ya.
Tell me where you're really from? - Mars.
Your from Mars? -Ya.
Alright, fine don't talk.
Okay look at this, this is my mother.
She is dead. - I'm sorry.
What for it wasn't your fault. It was mine I killed her.
But this is my father. You're going to help me find him.
I do not know where he is, but ...
Well, you have your father's smile.
I found the house. Route 14, latitude 40, 34 longitude.
Alright, you stay here.
Gardner.
Gardner you need to come with me now. - No.
We're here to help. Your.. your putting yourself in great danger.
Why can't you just leave me alone? This is my life.
Gardner, Gardner. Please come on, just come with us. - I'm going to find my father.
He's all I have. - That's not true. You have me.
No I don't, Kindra you told me youself.. you don't want children.
Gardner that's not what I ment you know that. - You never wanted children.
I'm sorry you had to raise me at all.
I'll get the car. Just go.
Duck!!
Sorry.
Alright your going to need to get in. Hurry.
Come on, Gardner let go.
Faster.
I'm here to help him.
Just jump.
Come on. Get in.
There you go, there you go.
Alright you need to hope in.
Gardner, take a seat please.
There you go.
Come on.
You know how to fly this right? - Nope.
O, no.
O.. The pressure. - I know right.
No Gardner, the oil pressure.
Alright I've got them.
My god. They're landing on a freeway.
Okay, alright, ah, this is going be a little tricky. I usually a landing strip.
Coordinates, I need coordinates.
Tulsa, pull up. Pull up.
Brakes, brakes. - Doesn't have brakes.
We have to jump. Let's jump.
O, no....O...O
Holy crap!
We have to go. Come on.
No bodies. - What? Are you sure?
Positive. The fellows went through wreck with a fine tooth comb. They're alive, somewhere.
You had one job. One job to protect Gardner.
To keep him from making contact with the outside world.
Preventing exactly this kind of eventuality.
You, your hanging this on me?
I admired you more then anyone.
And you want to know what, we've been shouldering East Texas for you. For years!
What are you trying to say here Kindra? - I'm trying to say the whole mission was your job, your responsibility.
You just gave up. And where were you?
Hey. When's the Beamer going to be ready? - Later.
Alright well can you get the paper work started?
Please, sir?
This is stealing. - Ya what ever.
It's wrong. - How you suppose we find your father?
Okay, okay... you know right and wrong seem to change when you really need something. ............Alright!
Friend of yours?
Where are we going? - Any where off the grid.
Disabling the phone.
Okay. So, ah, Gardner when you said you killed your mother, what exactly did you mean by that?
She died giving birth to me.
That doesn't mean you killed her.
Who that guy? - He founded East Texas. Where I'm from.
I thought you said your from New York.
Who was that woman? - Kendra? She's an astronaut.
Who you know from Mars? - Ya.
Get out.
Get out, get out.
I don't understand. - I don't like to be played.
Gardner that's what it is? Mars? Some some weird disease?
People have been lying to me my entire life ...
Which is, what ever, people suck, they suck, they lie, they use you get what they want then they throw you away.
And and the thing is I didn't even like calculus.
Now it's Mr. Hall who is always drunk and nobody can understood what he saying ...
but he doesn't care what we do on our computers so that's what I looked forward to to calculus, to talking to you.
So get out.
Tulsa I'm not lying to you. My mother was an astronaut. She made a mistake.
I was born on Mars.
Just because people lied to you before, it doesn't mean I'm lying now.
Just because something sound crazy to you, doesn't mean it's not true.
So if you really want to get rid of me, you have to get out. Because I'm going to find my father.
You know, hell, when people talk to me that way, they get their ass kicked.
Try it. I'm rocking this gravity.
Maybe, maybe you actually believe it yourself.
What? - I'm sorry.
For what? - People lying and for people sucking... things.
I'm sorry you're angry. - I am not angry.
Allow me? - What are you doing?
Chivalry not dead. At lest not yet in Nantucket.
I'm on a road trip with an insane person.
O' What is...
It's just a horse.
We should not be doing this.
We need a device not being traced. You want to know where your father is right?
Hey..it's unlocked. You're so lucky. - I consider my self a criminal.
Well, there was a Sarah Elliot who was an astronaut, we knew that.
It says she died tragically from a pressure suit failure shortly after arriving.
Well I'm a secret. - Ya, of course you are. And I'm enigma.
Same person. - I know that what I've been ...
Damn it . Lost connection. - Yep they're pretty cheap here, your best option.
Save by all the decoys and piggy back on the fire house next door.
All cool, thanks. - Pay for my wrap and I wont tell.
No, no, no, we don't have no money. Sorry. - We have money.
Great why don't you say that louder? - We have money.
No, no, no, no, sorry, sorry he doesn't speak sarcasm.
Here, take it.
My mother was wearing this when she died. It's, it's some sort of ring.
It looks like a half ring. Part of a bigger ring?
There are words on it. Let's see.
These words are in Havasupai, an Indian tribe in Arizona.
"Reunification of the halves. Love, eternity."
Yep signed, Shaman Neka.
Gardner I thinks this is some kind of Wedding ring and he married them. That's Shaman Neka.
How far is Havasupai?
Smile.
Oh no.
Not smiling, running. Come on.
Two teenagers spotted last night. We think they're still in there.
Where is he? - Where is he? Let her go.
We got him.
Are you okay?
Nathiel, Nathiel talk to me.
What's going on?
You're right Kendra. I gave up.
I withdrew. And the greater the pressure that remerged, the more I retreated.
As long as he was just a face on the screen, I could, could almost handle it.
Sentencing a boy to a life he never asked for.
But it's like the malignancy of any secret, it just kept getting worse.
Every time I go over it, what I did, the choices I made, I swear I couldn't of done anything else ...
But that's, that's not the point.
I dealt with the problem.
I just had no idea what the solution would do to me.
It killed me and it's, it's still killing me.
I need to make this right.
Yes -Gardner's blood has elevated levels of ​​troponin.
The news is not good Kendra.
Thank you.
Talk to me about troponin.
What? - Elevated troponin and Gardner.
His myositis pool was depleted. I've, I've read the chart.
It's not necessarily a problem on it's own, but in conjuction with the elevated levels of troponin...
He's suffering from an enlarged heart.
His heart can't handle our atmosphere, our gravity.
He's running out of time.
Is that a balloon?
There is a balloon. Tulsa, there's a balloon up there.
Alright, alright. - It's huge.
Rolls and balloons. - You really have to slow down. Is that your fifth?
These taste so good.
Hey, can you check in there and see if there's any cash? - Here? -Yep.
Cowboys always stash a way few bucks.
No that's for your mouth. You have to blow in it.
No, you should ... Yeah, okay there you go.
Nice. Well done.
Ah, there's some gunk on your face.
Thanks.
Alright... go change. Relax this place is like a million stores and a trillions dollars.
You know there are cameras. - Alright. This is our last money.
We'll buy the clothes then change....Hey..
Break my heart, break my hands.
you can take anything but my plans.
Oo..I've got big things to do.
You can laugh, have your fun.
I'll be standing with you when your done.
Ooo..I got big things ...
Yo. -Is that your song? - Maybe.
It's beautiful. - What ever.
What goes on in there?
I don't know.
I got a few sleeping bags. Ready?
Ya.. and O' I'm driving this time. - In your dreams.
Excuse me, sir.
Run that again.
Their moving aimlessly. Why New Mexico?
Both hands on the wheel, both eyes on the road.
Dude! Do you have a problem?
Cause you've definitely been looking at me for the last four hours and it's starting to freak me out.
You're so Beautiful. - And then you blurt that out just like that? What?
Ya, why wouldn't I? - Because you may want to, just play it cool, you know.
Easy youself into the love game. - But I do think you're Beautiful.
You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. - Okay, just slow your roll kid.
Your, you got to calm down. - But I don't want to calm down.
I don't understand why this is making you so upset.
First of all, I'm not upset, I'm uncomfortable, there is a different.
Secondly people don't go around saying what they feel when ever they feel it.
They have guards and, and shields and other metaphors.
Why? - Because we're all messed up and scared ...
And try to be someone that we're not. And if we all went around declaring our inner most desires for the exact people we felt them for...
then we would all end up happy, or something.
Look, Gardner ...
I'm happy that you think I'm beautful ...
And ......kind of having an amazing time with you, but the last thing I going to do is actually tell you that.
You just done.
You're blushing. - I not, not blushing.
Both hands on the wheel?
Nee, nee, no.
What is that feeling? O' this is, this is...
I believe the term is 'euphoria'.
I have an idea.
Hail in the southern desert extending from Las ...
Close your eyes.
How did you just become more beautiful in 20 seconds?
Do you want to kiss me?
Ya, but I don't know how.
But you will.
Something you don't understand. On Mars, the people.. they didn't do this.
We just had scientists they, they studying ground samples.
Shut up, Gardner.
I thought about you everyday up there.
I know what's going to happen.
What? -I'm going fall in love with you and, and I'll fall to Earth.
I'll be just like you. - That old line.
Okay, I'll, I'll shut up now. - No, no, no.
Hold that thought.
To myself?
All my life I couldn't feel anything.
I couldn't feel water, I couldn't feel a fire.
I couldn't feel wind on my face.
And now I can.
That's nothing compared to what I feel with you.
I was so scaried I wouldn't know how to be human.
You made me human, Tulsa.
Ah' it's incredible.
I know right? - It has so many legs.
O..ha..ha..ha -Everything cool. This is reservation property.
The tourist lookout is 15 miles that way. - Ya, we know.
And we hope were not intruding, but we're looking Shaman Neka.
Right on.
When you know, you know.
N, n, know what? - I, I'm not sure.
Come on.
I've married many couples.
Well, there were no state records. Um, do you keep any?
I'd keep her.
What was her name? - Sarah Elliott.
Sarah....So, I made this ring 16 years ago.
The other half of this ring is with your father.
And this is the check.
It doesn't say his name. - No, she paid. That's her address.
You have that ah, photo yet? Do you mind if I borrow your computer? -Not at all.
Summerland, California.
I think this it. Just a moment.
We found it.
Let's go.
You look like crap. You okay?
Ya. You know where we're going? - O' yas.
Paris, Venice and Cairo.
Hello, checking-in? - Hi, ah, just left the key in the ignition, checking-in. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Well, you wanted to see the world. Here you have it.
It's ah, it's like a bi-big toys.
No, no, look. That's Paris, New York, Shanghai.
And look over there, Venice. - Venice...It feels weird.
I mean it's... It's not real, you know.
It's not how I, how I pictured it. It's hurting my head to see it like this.
Well, I'm sorry Gardner, but the world doen't alway give you exactly what you want.
It gave me you. - Alright let be cynical for one second.
Tulsa, just because your parents are gone, it doesn't mean, you can't have a family.
We can be each other's family, cause, this, this isn't...
This isn't real, but we, can be real.
Okay, I think it's time to go, let's get you to California. - Did you hear what I said?
Wo..Ya. I did ah.. but Gardner I think you're sick.
None of this was how it was in my heads. - You need to go to the hospital.
Except you. - We need to get you to a hospital. Something is wrong with you. Gardner! Gardner! Gardner! Gardner! No! No!
Gardner! Gardner! Your okay, your okay. Help, please help.
I want to scan him. - Radiology stat.
What's his name? - Gardner.
What's his last name? - I, I don't know.
Where is he from?
Ah, Ah, I don't know.
What the! Look at this, I've never seen anything like it before. - My God. What is that?
His heart is grossly inlarged. I, I gave him valsartan, but ...
It doesn't look good.
He wasn't lying.
Gardner, Gardner I have to go.
Social Services are coming.
But I'm going to go to Summerland.
I'm going to find your father and I'm going to tell him how amazing you are.
How much you think about him and how badly you wanted to go there. Okay.
I promise.
Hey, hey. No, no, sh, sh -We need to go. - You can't, you can't.
You have to stay here, Gardner.
Do you even know why you're sick?
Because your heart's to big.
We're go to Summerland. - You can't, they're going to help you.
There's nothing, there's nothing they can do. They can't, don't you see?
No matter how much I want Earth, Earth doesn't want me.
Just a sec let me grab my bag.
Well wait I'm coming.
Social services. - Thank God.
They used the credit card the owner left in the car.
Their heading north to California. I know where they're going.
Good evening.
Gardner! Gardner! -I'm not dead.
O' ah' Scared me. - You rant like you hate the world so much, Tulsa.
Save your strength. - It's all an act.
The beautiful music you make gives you away.
Gardner we're here.
Hey we're here.
Will you help me? - Ya of course. To do what?
Just to look better.
This is the best place I've been so far.
You ready? -Ya.
He's going to love you.
Hello. Can I help you?
Now would be a good time to say something.
Where did you get this photo?
East Texas. - That's impossible.
My mother was Sarah Elliot. She died giving bith to me.
Sarah Elliot died pressure suit failure.
That;s not, That's what they said, but ...
You're my father.
Is this some kind of scam? -He's not lying, it's the truth. I swear.
I just wanted to meet you. - Why are you doing this to me?
I'm not your father. I'm calling the police. - Stay right here.
Stop being a dick.
Okay, He risked his life to leave the one place he's ever knew.
All alone, didn't know anyone, had never set foot on this planet. - What do you want from me?
I could never do it. Just to meet you.
And he's dying.
I do not know who you are or why you are doing this. I'm not his father.
Then who are you? Because that is you in the photo and that is this house.
Yes, this house our parents left it to us.
Sarah Elliot was my sister.
Get some help, please get some help.
Gardner. No, he's not your father. He's not your father, he's your uncle.
It doesn't matter anymore. There's no time left to us.
Alright let's just go back. He's calling an ambulance.
My mother is here. I can, I can feel her.
I didn't get to choose where I was born ...
but I do get to choose where die.
Tulsa. - Yes, Gardner?
What's your favourite thing about Earth?
You are Gardner.
See you in the funny papers.
I WAS HERE
I've got him.
Kendra. Help me.
Okay let's turn him over.
Turn him over.
Come on. You can do it. Gardner. Gardner.
Gardner, stay with me. Don't leave us. Come on. Come on.
What was she like?
My mother.
She was fearless, she was kind.
And she just seemed so invincible.
And she made me want to give up living when she died.
You loved her. -Yes
You're my father.
Yes.
There they are. - Hurry there's no time.
I knew I would find you. - You're going to be okay.
You're not alone. Stay with me Gardner.
Hurry.
It's taking too long.
His blood pressure dropping. we have to get him out of our gravity.
You have to take the plane higher. Do you understand what I saying?
You know I can't do that. That's against our regulations.
I'm taking control.
What are you doing? - I'm taking us into the stratosphere.
Excuse me? - Ya don't worries. She can handle it.
But I warn you, one of you may need to take over.
One of us may need ... - Yes, there's a chance I may die.
But you've done this before? - Yes all the time.
Virtual. - Great.
Buckle in.
Alright let's buckle in. Ya, just get in. Grab this belt.
I have the air craft.
No, we need to go higher.
Tr..try to wake him up.
Gardner, Gardner, wake up. Gardner.
Gar..No no no no no no no.
Stay in, stay in. I've got him.
We on my planet? - No.
We on yours?
No.
Are you ever going to stop slapping me?
You have to go back. - No, Tulsa, don't ...
I hate it. I hate it.
But Gardner we both know, you have to go back.
I love you Tulsa.
And I love you.
How's he doing? - Stable, for now.
This should buy us the time we need. - And you, you okay?
Apparently.
This is good to know.
I'm going to miss you Gardner. More than anything else in the world.
Me too.
You're the best mom I never had.
Safe travels. Okay.
Wait a minute, ma'am. -Hay. -Don't go there.
Nice ride.
You gonna be okay?
You're amazing.
And I had the time of my life with you.
But The last thing I would do is is actually tell you that.
You just done.
T minus ten, nine, eight ...
seven, six, five, four ...
three, two, one, zero.
Ignition. Launch.
Same time tomorrow?
Works for me.
Tulsa, you have a visitor.
Bye.
Got to go.
So as you probable know I retired from NASA.
Well, not Really. I'm, I'm running, I'm running their training program now.
And it's been great.
I mean getting reaccustomed to living on this planet has been a little trying.
Any way I'm, I'm getting off track.
Since I couldn't spend any money on Mars and I was up there for six years ...
It turns out actually I have a lot of it. So I bought a ranch in Boulder, Colorado.
I like to skiing and people are really nice.
Ya it's a pretty big house. It gets lonely at times.
Would you like to come live with me there?
Are you getting paid? To take me?
O, God, no. No.
Because I age out in a month.
Who said anything about only a month?
I wanted to go to Earth.
Not just to visit, but to live there.
Turns out, people from Earth want exactly the same as people from Mars.
And I should know, because I'm pretty sure I'm the only one. So far.
I don't know which is better, but here's what I do know:
It's good to be home.
