I didn't know
anyone else came here.
They usually don't.
- Sorry. I can leave you alone.
- It's fine.
You want some?
- Not tonight.
- I've seen you around.
Azi, right?
You don't mingle too much.
No.
Unloading the cargo
and then onto the next one.
I stole this from cargo.
- Sorry.
- I don't care.
That stuff all belongs
to the colony anyway.
- Must get kinda lonely.
- What?
Cycling through new people
every couple months,
- never getting to know anyone.
- Yeah, I guess.
It suits me, though.
At least, well,
I used to think it did.
- Now I dunno.
- Hm.
You ever think
about jumping ship?
Just settling down somewhere?
I'm sure you could figure out
a way to join us on the colony.
I mean, I don't know your
situation, but I get it.
Once you get rolling
a certain way,
breaking the inertia
gets more complicated.
You stop doing anything
spontaneous,
maybe that's just a fact of life.
[Coughs]
[Chuckles]
Alright, now we're talking.
[Chuckles]
We're probably all running
away from something.
But no matter what, I think we
always need people in our lives
that we can love and count on.
Yeah, when I took this job,
I was feeling stuck,
but now I guess
I'm stuck in something new.
MIA: Okay, okay,
I know you just said
you're moving on
to the next thing after this,
and I'm going into cryo
soon anyway,
but can I see your hand?
My comm number.
You're [Chuckles]
You're very confident.
Well, we don't have
a lot of time.
I'm Mia, by the way.
I guess you're right.
We don't have a lot of time.
[Chuckling]
Hey, leave some for me.
Come on.

Good morning.
Kris says the downslope
looks a lot easier.
Should be a great day.
You want some breakfast?
We should get started.
You can eat on the way.

Like it's putting itself in

I don't understand why.
But it's like an urge,

Great. I'm falling apart.

Oh, shit.
We're gonna have to follow it,

We could jump stone-to-stone.
What do you think, Barry?

Hey, let me walk ahead of you.
And, Ursula?
Get your knife out.
Can't be too careful.
It's a wide-open prairie.
I think we're good.
No, I meant for me.
If I make any move
to circle back to you,
if I scare you at all, use it.
Jesus Christ, Sam,
I'm not gonna stab you.

[Lemurs growling, grunting]
Those things are watching us.
Hurry up, Barry!
We'll leave you here

Kris, I need to clarify
what'll happen
when we get to the ship.
Let's survive this river,
then we'll talk, okay?
No. Now.
[Sighs]
What's the problem?
We're gonna take that shuttle
and get off the planet.
- Yes?
- But we're waking up the crew first.
Our cargo is
going to be people.
Azi, Kris is our leader.
I know you're sad
about your friend,
- but Kris makes the decisions, right?
- Exactly, Kid.
Barry, she does not have
your best interest at heart.
Just stay out of this.
Azi, don't do this.
These people, these strangers,
they're a weight
dragging you down.
I'm waking up the crew.
Can I count on you
to stay out of the way?
[Chuckles]
They're dead, Azi.
They're dead.
And if they're not
already dead,
they can wait a few years
for someone else
to come rescue them.
God, I'm telling you,
it's not your responsibility.
Don't fight. Please.
Can I count on you
to do the right thing?
What's important is you, it's us.
- Getting off this planet.
- Stop, you guys. Stop.
Oh, for God's sake,
Barry, shut up!
So no hesitation,
no second guessing,
we're gonna finish
what we came here to do,
and that's that.
[Azi and Kris grunt]
Kris.
[Gasping, coughing]
Stop it, Azi.
We're a team.
I don't want to hurt you, Kris.
[Coughs]
You fucking idiot.
[Crying] I'm sorry.
I didn't know what else to do.

Don't say that.
The ship is right there.
We've endured so much,
and now you're just
going to give up?
It's It's not about that.
There's all kinds of medical
equipment on the Demeter.
- Surely we can
- No, stop it. Please.
I-I knew it was over for me
the moment I put your life
in danger.
This isn't just an infection
that you can cure.
It's taken ahold of me.
I can feel it changing me, Ursula,
into something different,
something I don't recognize.
And there's no going back.
[Sighs]
- But
- I'm almost out of time.
- Do you understand?
- But we have to try.
You did.

We are so close.

You know what to do?

Okay, good. I wanted
to be the one to do it.

going to be okay.
Now [sniffles]
