- My name is Nathan.
It's my last birthday.
Please, please don't cake me in the face.
I know you all want to, but please for me, today,
please don't.
- Yes!
Yes! Yes!
- Oh there's lots of cake.
- I thought I got it.
Come on, let's get some food.
- There's this thing called a fault.
That fault is like where earthquakes and volcanoes
are mostly.
- I'll be right back.
- You alright?
- Yeah.
- In common.
- That's scary.
- Scary I know.
- That's scary stuff, does that scare you?
- Yeah, it scares me.
- There you are.
- Here I am.
Don't.
- What?
- Ask me how I'm doing.
Thank you man.
I know it's been tough.
I haven't exactly been much help.
- Hey man, no one expects you to.
- Where's Adele?
- She didn't think she could handle it.
You know.
- Yeah well, I get it.
Marry her.
Trust me.
- That's it, you're a natural, now get it back there now.
- Let me do it.
- No way.
- You've got Ethan you can get away, I want to do it.
- No!
- Come on man!
- No!
- Let me do.
- No.
I love you Jack.
Do you want to know about the cake?
- I'm sorry.
- Fucker.
- We had to man.
- Come on let's go get a drink.
- But he's just like this in the room and I can't,
and I'm literally looking for him in every room.
The pants swap, that was the pants swap day.
- Yes you do.
- My pants, my dad's pants.
- I'm glad I got to see all these photos
of you with your shirt off.
- Hi guys,
Ethan has something that he would like to say for Nathan.
So.
- Chris do you mind if I sit there?
Thanks man.
- It's my father's birthday.
It's usually a happy day, but today it isn't.
Today is different.
Today he's leaving and that makes me really sad.
But I know he's doing it for all of us.
I know that he's strong and that he's brave,
and he wants to stay but he can't.
And I want him to know how proud I am of him.
I want him to know that I'm proud of being your son.
And I want him to know that I will not throw away
anything he's given me.
I will not throw away the chance he's given me.
The future, I will be the future he wants for me.
- Hey.
I didn't think I'd see you before I left.
- I know.
I'm sorry I never called you back.
- No, I get it.
- I wasn't sure if I was going to come or not.
- Yeah, no, I know.
I'm so happy to see you.
- Me too.
- Do you know what I think about
when I think about you?
I think about kissing you.
In the cabin that summer by the lake.
I'm sorry Cat.
I'm so sorry for everything.
- It was a long time ago.
I still don't forgive you.
- Well I guess I have delivered that.
- Not for much longer.
- Oh fuck.
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
So I got married.
- That's amazing.
Well good for you Cat.
Well is he nice?
- Yes, you would like him.
- Mm, I doubt that.
Now you think you'll have kids?
- I don't know yet.
- You should.
I should've married you.
- Yeah.
- I should have done a lot of things, I tried.
- No Nathan, you didn't.
- Yeah.
I wasted so much fucking time.
And now it's gone.
I always thought I was gonna do all these things.
And I ended up doing nothing.
- You have Ethan.
- I can't even look him in the eye anymore.
- Why?
- I'm scared Cat.
I'm so fucking scared.
I wish I had more time.
I just wasted so much fucking time.
- Shh.
I love you, I love you.
- I love you.
- But you can't run from this.
This is the thing you have to do.
It's breaking my heart but you have to.
- Congratulations, it's your 40th birthday.

There's nothing to be afraid of.
Simply put this in your mouth and take one breath.
What could be simpler?
One breath and you save everyone you love.
One breath and you give them a future.
One breath and you plant your seed.
- Hi Jane thank you so much for your patience.
- Of course.
- I'm Dr. Jack Benton, I work with Dr. Stephens
and I'll be doing your final paperwork today.
Full disclosure, there's a lot.
- I assumed.
- First, there will be the risk analysis profile
and this stack here and then this batch
here.
Everything okay?
- Yeah.
- I know there's a lot.
Let me know if you need anything.
- Thank you.
- She left me okay?
We hear this lady screaming at the top of her lungs.
I was just trying to get my ass back to work.
She like runs off okay and then
I turn around, out of nowhere, I'm freaking out
because this woman just comes up to me and asked me
can I watch her baby?
Like first of all where is your stroller?
Can you watch my baby?
I mean doesn't even wait for me that respond or anything,
she just hands me her actual baby and runs after the guy.
- Hold on, did you actually
see the guy that took her wallet?
- No, absolutely not.
I mean me and Jane
we're just coming back from our lunch break.
- That's actually true.
- Yes, it's actually true, yes that's the one,
you weren't even there.
I'm just watching this newborn like out of nowhere.
- That is so scary I don't know how anybody
raises kids in the city.
- What am I supposed to do okay?
- Yeah, what do you think she wanted you to do?
Breastfeed it, change it's diaper, tickle it?
- My girls.
I'm so happy you're both here.
- Me too.
Where's Kurt?
- He's with the boys, you'll see him tomorrow.
Word around town is that dad has himself a lady friend.
- What?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't actually confirm anything
because he won't tell me anything, but.
- Huh, is she hot?
- Oh very classy ladies I've raised, now does
it matter if she's hot?
- See, see, you admit it, there's a she.
- To lady Jane.
When you moved to this block it changed my life.
I got a best friend.
- Yeah, but she's my best friend.
- Shit, this is my toast!
Plus I've known her way longer.
Any surgical team is lucky to have you.
Even if that means you're off somewhere
doctoring without borders and fighting off
the diseases,
- The diseases?
- And the mosquitoes, and the glaciers.
- This is where I take over this toast
and simply say
Janie,
oh, she hates this so much.
Safe travels, come back soon.
- Cheers.
- Here here.
- Doing okay in here?
- Mostly.
Although I was told that I had
the option of an anonymity contract if I so chose?
- Yes, yes, that is an option.
You do know though there'll be no method of contact?
- Perfect.
- Jane you're lying because
you could never hold your liquor.
She jumped throwing this guy's back okay?
And he's spinning her around and I'm so it, and.
This had better be an emergency
because I told you to only call me
in emergencies, what is it?
- It's work.
- I know.
- You need get it together,
put on your big girl fucking panties.
- Uh oh.
You've been quiet.
- Yeah.
- So this job is there like a visitor situation or?
- No, it's not like that.
- Hmm.
- What?
- What was that hmm?
- Hmm.
- Hmm, it's just a noise people do it all the time.
Make noises.
- Everything that you do means something.
I think that I've at least figured that out about you.
- I don't know.
- What?
Say it, Jesus.
- Stay.
- Okay.
- I'm serious, stay.
- Why?
- Because.
- Oh, okay.
No,
no.
- No what?
- I don't know, don't tell me.
- What?
- Don't tell me this is like, is this like a confession
of like your love?
I don't know.
- My love?
Jesus Christ.
I told you I loved you once in the third grade.
- Fair.
- And you can't let it go, you just keep thinking about it.
- No, I'm letting it.
- You know I thought I was Spider-Man in the third grade.
- You did.
- I thought I was actually Spider-Man.
- It was so weird.
- It was fun.
I didn't stop a lot of bad guys.
I ate actual worms until the fourth grade.
I did a lot of things in elementary school that
- You're not proud of?
- I don't do now.
What? I'm proud of all of it.
And I'm with Sarah now also, so.
- Right,
yeah.
You were just making this face.
- What face?
- I don't know like this love face or something?
- A love face, okay what the fuck is that?
- I don't know, it's just,
erase.
- I just can't imagine you not being a drive away
or even a phone call away.
I,
I like count on you.
- I like know.
It's fine, you'll be fine.
I don't care okay?
Only call me if you die, okay?
Bye, goodbye.
Should I?
- Yeah, you're good.
Stay yeah, you're good.
- Hi.
- Hey.
You need something?
Ditching your own party?
- Something like that.
- I can go if want?
- No you're fine.
Do you like living with dad?
- Yeah, it's fine.
- You know you don't have to.
- I know.
- No, I'm just, I'm saying that that you can do
whatever you want, you know?
Whatever, makes you happy.
I just want you to be able to be yourself.
Whatever that is.
- How's that working out for you?
- You are such a dick.
Seriously, how is your life?
- What do you mean?
- I don't know, I feel like I love you and I don't know you.
And I'm just trying to understand you and like.
- Relax.
Things are fine.
I mean school sucks.
Community college is lame, shocker.
Mostly I just go to work and hang out with my friends.
I don't know, I don't really have a lot to say.
- Okay, cool.
- I'm not you.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, I'm good here I don't need to go do some crazy shit.
- Do you mind if I sit here for a while?
- Knock yourself out.
- That's better.
- Oh sorry.
- It's been more than two hours of dotting and signing.
An apology's a bit unnecessary at this point.
It's an honor to meet you in person actually.
I read your application letter.
In the yellow and blue of our days.
- That was from my mom's favorite song.
- Honestly your work on biomedical nanotechnology,
it's such a huge achievement.
And the innovative way you used that in each round
of the selection process.
Having your level of expertise on board, it's really,
it's all the team can talk about.
You fit right in Jane.
- I don't know how to say thank you.
- You just say it.
- Thank you.
Bourbon?
- Hmm.
Your friends leave?
- I think so.
How's the old arm?
What do you think mom is doing like right now?
- Probably
riding a gold plated bike in circles through purgatory.
Pissing everyone off.
The madwoman cackling maniacally,
singing at the top of her lungs.
- I miss her.
I should say that more.
- She'd understand.
- Understand what?
- Whatever's going on with you.
- Dad I'm fine.
- Jane, I just want to know you're okay.
- No one's really okay.
- Janie.
- This is the best fine that I'm gonna be, okay?
Deal with it.
- Okay.
You're my kid let me worry about you for Christ's sake.
- No.
Worry about Bobby.
I think his shirts are too tight.
I'm serious I think they're cutting
off the circulation to his brain.
- Yeah, I'll hijack his laundry
it's not like he's gonna do it.
- Just burn them.
You did everything you could for us.
Always.
- I don't know about that.
- You did.
Okay?
Just know that.
- This what I think it is?
- We have the contract here.
And I'm gonna go over each section
so that you know what you're opting for.
- So what?
You're just gonna call us up one day
and say you're leaving for some obscure job
for God knows how long?
Do us the I don't know courtesy of coming home
for a day just to leave a fucking note
and vanish at the crack of dawn?
- Alice, please don't do this.
- Me, me don't do this.
- Yes.
- Jane this is you, this is all you.
It's what you do.
You walk in and out of our lives
like we're not supposed to love you
or care if you're here, or care if you're not.
But we do.
Get it through your fucking head.
- I can't do this, I can't.
- Can't what?
- I can't, I can't breathe.
- I wish that I knew how to help you.
- You can't.
- Why?
- I think I'm not.
- Am I gonna see you again?
- I don't think so.
- Here we have section one, that's full anonymity.
That means that apart from us
and your government no one will have access
to your involvement in the project.
Option two, anonymity until departure.
That means any press coverage,
any media that's released within the next year
until you depart, your identity will be withheld.
And then option three, that's anonymity until arrival
or complication.
I'm guessing that's what you're gonna choose.
- I'm sorry you're guessing?
- Yes, I am and I shouldn't
speculate.
It's just that you're the first person I've ever had
use this particular contract.
What I was gonna say is that I'm guessing
this is the option someone would use
if they did want to relay status to family and next of kin
when you've reached some sort of finality.
I'll let you make your decision and step out.
- Oh, I'm fine.
- Fantastic we are done.
- Finally.
- I would like to officially welcome you aboard.
Congratulations Jane.
You are the newest member of the Mars One Astronaut Program.
How does it feel to be an actual pioneer?
- It's.
It's.
- Come on, come on, come on.
Come on.
What the hell man?
We tried to get the jet.
Do you see what's going on down here?
And they don't even know what's really coming.
You gotta take me with you.
- Just go to a shelter like everybody else.
- Come on Doug, don't play me.
- What are you talking about?
- I know where you're going.
Sarah told me about your little secret.
- Then you know I can't help you.
- Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
Sarah!
- We can't leave him behind.
- You can't do this to me Doug.
Would you just for once?
I'm your brother!
- Goodbye.
- What are you doing?
- Be ready to go to
your destination in five minutes.
- If you want to survive you gonna have to make some hard.
- The signs were everywhere.
Hunger, pollution, epidemics.
After a century of a reckless consumption
civilization was about to collapse under its own weight.
Still I had faith humanity would finally
work together hand in hand to overcome
the greed and selfishness that was tearing us apart.
But in the end those in power chose a different path.
The same they always had, war.
And when it was over all we had left was
each other.
For over a year now we've been heading to a survivor colony
out west.
But it's still a long way to go.
- Are you sure you're okay?
- I'm fine.
- How's she doing?
- Not good.
You're gonna have to slow down.
- Not a chance.
We can barely make it to the next town.
That's if we keep our pace.
- What is it Henry?
- Thank you.
Alright.
- And now ladies and gentlemen.
Please welcome Wall Street's rising star.
- Hey Warren!
Get your head out of your ass man, it's dinner time.
- What's with the mystery meal?
- I know this journey's been longer than a son a bitch but
today is actually an auspicious occasion.
1,000 miles.
The halfway point,
wa la.
- Where did you get a cake?
- Wow.
- Actually Gus here did.
He thought it'd be a good way to cheer y'all up.
- Gus?
Is that a heartbeat I'm hearing?
- Now before we dig in I thought
it'd be good to have a couple of words, Claire.
Won't you say something?
- Oh come on.
- Come on now.
- Come on.
- Hmm.
Alright, I can't believe everything
that has happened sometimes.
A 1,000 miles.
We are far better off than we were a 1,000 miles ago.
All of us.
All we have to do is just keep putting one foot
in front of the other, that's it.
And with the little help of our North Star here,
I have hope that we'll find our way to the colony.
We're gonna find our way.
- To hope.
Amen, amen.
You okay over there?
- Hope?
Hope?
You really think holding hands, singing Kumbaya's
gonna make a difference?
Did anybody actually look what's out there?
- Hey we're in here celebrating.
Just a some cake.
- What are we celebrating?
What that we're stranded in the middle of fucking nowhere
with all our food buried under 50 feet of sand?
I mean tell me Henry,
What's on the menu once the cake is gone?
- Warren, I know you've been through it and I know
getting to the colony seems like an impossibility,
but it is completely viable that we will make it there.
- Oh right, the colony.
We'll just sit back, have a few cocktails,
and enjoy the sunset because in a 1,000 miles
things are gonna get so much better.
- Alright everybody let's put it together for Warren,
man of the year.
- You think this is a joke don't you?
- I think you're an inspiration to all of us.
- You think this is a goddamn joke?
- Whoa, whoa.
- Okay!
You all want to know what the real joke is?
Huh?
Warren is the joke.
We've been following this piece of shit for way too long.
- Put that down.
- Oh yeah?
And who made you the law here anyway, huh?
What just because you used to run
a fucking goddamn prison in some
pathetic little shit hole, big deal!
You're nothing but a pathetic little piece of.
- Okay, alright, alright.
Warren stop!
Warren stop, stop.
Stop it, stop it, just breathe, fucking breathe.
You're okay just breathe okay, just breathe.
There you go man.
You're alright, you're alright.
There you go, it's okay.
I got you.
I can't.
- I know, I know, I know.
Just inhale.
- I can't do it anymore.
- One step at a time.
One step at a time.
Okay let's get you up.
- Hey there buddy come on.
- Get up, you're okay.
- You're alright.
You okay?
You alright?
Come on,
it's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
- We need to block the door.
- What's going on?
What?
- Help me here.
It's not moving!
Focus.
- Fuck, it's got to be bolted down.
- Jesus Christ man let's just take these things off.
- Well hello there.
How did a pretty girl like you end up in a place like this?
- Please enter your authorization code.
- I see.
Playing hard to get.
- So what now?
- Time to use my irresistible charm.
- Whoa!
So we're just gonna break in?
We don't even know what's in there.
- We know what's out there.
Let's just get that pass key overall,
see isn't that better?
Yes, and.
Awe shit!
- Authorization code denied.
- What are you doing?
- Oh you know, just decrypting
a multi binary quantum algorithm
with the stochastic matrix protocol.
That means.
Ha, Bam!
- Okay, okay, alright.
Come on.
- Time to drop the panties.
- Authorization code accepted.
- Come on everybody, let's go move it.
- Where's my bag?
- Warren, it's up here buddy, come on.
Warren!
- No, no!
- Warren!
- Is everyone all right?
Gus, right here.
Warren.
- You okay? You sure?

- Shh.
