Interstellar Edit

A civilization that's evolved past the four dimensions we know.

A father...

A literal heart of darkness.

A lot. Decades.

A machine doesn't improvise well because you can't program a fear of death.

A spherical hole.

A wormhole's not a naturally occurring phenomenon.

A.

About 200 meters.

Absolute honesty isn't always the most diplomatic, nor the...

Accident is the first building block of evolution.

Affirmative.

After that, with surrogacy, the growth becomes exponential.

After you kids came along, your mom said something to me I never quite understood.

Air brake?

All engines look good. Beginning roll program.

All feeds going manual.

All of this is one little girl's bedroom. Every moment.

All right, buddy, give me a big deep breath.

All right, gang, let's mask up.

All right, I got to go, Dad. Hope you're safe up there.

All right, it's a doozy.

All right, let's do it.

All right, look.

All right, Murph, give me second.

All right, Murph, you want to talk science?

All right, we're all set.

All right.

All right.

All right. Let's take it slow, sir.

All these messages are just, like...

All this. All these people.

Alone...

Although she's always maintained just how important you were.

Amelia, be safe.

Amelia, your father solved his equation before I even left.

Ammonia.

An hour ago, you didn't even know I was alive. You were going anyway.

An incredible sacrifice is being made by the people on Earth who are gonna die!

And a black hole that big has a huge gravitational pull.

And away!

And by the time you return...

And don't come back.

And Edmunds', it's even further.

And get sucked into that black hole.

And he knew that.

And I guess you had to stop off at the Asian fighter plane store.

And I resisted the temptation for years...

And I think that now I understand what she meant.

And it excites me? Heh.

And it leads where?

And it rules out telling a 10 year old that the world is ending.

And it's a special one, because you told me...

And just think about the resources, including time...

And Miller?

And now we're stuck here till there won't be anyone left on Earth to save.

And one system shows promise.

And our three prospects are at the edge of what...

And something seemed wrong about dreaming my life away.

And that is that you want to make sure your children feel safe.

And that makes me want to follow my heart.

And that sounded just fine with us.

And that...

And the equation.

And the foundation's solid.

And then we can talk about completing the mission.

And then when you went quiet, it...

And today I'm the age you were when you left.

And Tom will do just fine.

And we go live underground with you?

And we still had corn. We had acres of corn.

And we're growing more than we ever have.

And what if the world didn't show promise?

And whoever they are, they appear to be looking out for us.

And yet... Yet here he is.

And your daughter's generation...

And your kids know it. Especially Murph.

And, uh...

And...

Another galaxy.

Any trick to this, Doyle?

Apparently.

Approaching module port, 500 meters.

Approaching the event horizon.

Are you calling my life's work...

As far as school goes...

At close of day

At least some of them.

At the moment of death, your mind's gonna push...

Auto docking sequence withheld.

Auto self destruct T minus 10, nine...

Aw, Murph...

Because I gave it to her.

Because in his fucking arrogance...

Because my dad promised me.

Because of the black hole?

Because of the time slippage.

Because public opinion wouldn't allow spending on space exploration.

Because the bulk beings are closing the tesseract.

Because their words had forked No lightning they.

Because we're close enough to see it now?

Been floating through space too long?

Before you get all teary, remember that as a robot I have to do anything you say.

Blight does. And as it thrives, our air gets less and less oxygen.

Blight?

Blight.

Both. Plan A.

Brand told me why you feel you have to go back.

Brand, co pilot, you're up.

Brand, did you know?

Brand, did you know?

Brand, Doyle, back to the Ranger now!

Brand, get back here now!

Brand?

Brand?

Brand.

Brand...

Bright kid.

But he's been trying to solve the gravity equation for 40 years.

But how?

But I knew who it was.

But I knew you'd come back.

But I was never scared of it.

But I'd be remiss if I didn't at least mention...

But isn't that exactly what Professor Brand was manipulating us to do?

But it is our home.

But like the potatoes in Ireland and the wheat in the Dust Bowl...

But maybe we've spent too long trying to figure all this outwith theory.

But Miller's still looks good though, right?

But Murph got into a fistfight with several of her classmates over this...

But next year...

But not a poker face, Slick.

But of all these anomalies, the most significant is this:

But once we set up base camp and secure those modules, my work's done here.

But one day.

But Plan A...

But she's been having a little trouble lately.

But six billion people...

But something sent you here.

But such complicated data to a child?

But the lie.

But the trip took years longer than we anticipated.

But they could use hibernation to stretch that...

But they said I could start Advanced Agriculture a year early.

But today's my birthday.

But very efficient.

But we've got to figure something out or the people on Earth are gonna die. Think!

But what about the people here? You just give up on them?

But when you're orbiting a black hole not enough can happen.

But who put it there? Who do we have to thank?

But with oxygen in limited supply, KIPP there really did most of the legwork.

But you don't know what you're gonna find.

But you don't look much like a lawnmower.

But you don't look much like a lawnmower.

But you haven't solved it yet.

But you knew about relativity.

But, uh, mostly we had dust.

By the time I get back, we might even be the same age, you and me.

Bye bye, Grandpa. Okay.

Can we stop the spinning?

Can we take this point up at another time?

Can you tell that to Doyle?

Can't we just let it go?

CASE is headed down with the rest of the distillery equipment.

CASE, come on! Come on!

CASE, if I black out, you take the stick.

CASE, what's the problem?

CASE, you're with me. Anyone else can stay.

CASE!

Check.

Come here.

Come on, baby.

Come on, CASE has her! Get back here, Doyle!

Come on, Murph!

Come on, TARS!

Come on, TARS.

Come on!

Come on! Give me your bag. Get in the backseat. Get in the backseat now!

Come on. Come on, Murph. Come on!

Come on. Come on.

Come on. You're a well educated man, Coop.

Communication with ring module active.

Confirmed.

Confirmed. Additional customization?

Conserve fuel, minimize thrusting, but make sure we stay in range of Miller's planet.

Control here.

Coop, finish your fritter, please.

Coop, those combines you rebuilt went haywire.

Coop.

Cooper Station.

Cooper, my...

Cooper, please.

Cooper, we are lined up.

Cooper, we have a mission.

Cooper, we're slipping towards Gargantua.

Cooper, what can I do?

Cooper, you asshole!

Cooper, you can't ask TARS to do this for us.

Cooper, you should have control.

Cooper, you were good at something...

Cooper! Cooper!

Cooper! This is no time for caution.

Cooper! Wait!

Cooper?

Cooper.

Cooper. Cooper, we're coming! CASE!

Cooper. Cooper. Come in, Cooper.

Cooper...

Cooperate with these people.

Coordinates.

Corrected?

Could they be talking to us from the future?

Couldn't you have told her you were going to save the world?

Counter orbital slingshot around. Fourteen months to Saturn.

Currently orbiting Saturn.

Dad didn't raise me, Grandpa did. And he's buried out back with Mom and Jesse.

Dad didn't raise you to be this dumb, Tom!

Dad just abandoned us!

Dad, can you fix this?

Dad, tell her.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Dad's not coming back. He never was coming back. It's up to me.

Damn it.

Dash dash dash.

Dash, dash, dash.

Dash!

Dash! Dash!

Data transmission back through the Wormhole is rudimentary.

Deactivate probe heater one, two and three.

Death, but...

Deep breath.

Delhi Mission Control went down, same as ours ten years ago.

Detach!

Detach.

Detach.

Did he leave me?

Did it work?

Did my father know too?

Did my father know?

Did Professor Brand tell you that poem before you left?

Did you notice anything strange about the launch chamber?

Didn't you bring the bolt cutters?

Distorting space time.

Do not attempt docking. I repeat, do not attempt docking. Please resp...

Do not go gentle into that good night

Do not go gentle into that good night

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Do you have the quantum data?

Do you remember?

Do you see your children?

Don't go!

Don't let me leave, Murph!

Don't let me leave, Murph!

Don't make me leave like this, Murph!

Don't make me take you down again. Sit down!

Don't shake your head at me.

Don't tell me you're afraid of some ghost. No, you got to go further.

Don't you get it yet, TARS?

Don't you get it yet, TARS?

Don't.

Donald says he's already earned the "great" part, so we just leave it at that.

Door's not charging.

Dot dash dot dot.

Dot dash dot dot.

Dot dot...

Dot. Dot.

Doyle?

Dr. Brand and Edmunds. They close?

Dr. Brand, CASE is relaying a message for you from the comm station.

Dr. Brand, I'm sorry to tell you that your father died today. He had no pain.

Dr. Brand.

Dr. Brand. Cooper. There's been an explosion.

Dr. Mann, do not, I repeat, do not open the hatch.

Dr. Mann, do not...

Dr. Mann, listen to me.

Dr. Mann, please respond.

Dr. Mann, there's a 50 50 chance you're gonna kill yourself!

Dr. Mann, we need to find three secure sites. One for Brand's lab, two for habitat.

Dr. Mann. Dr. Mann?

Dr. Mann...

Earth's atmosphere is 80 percent nitrogen.

Easy.

Edmunds' data is better, but Dr. Mann is the one still transmitting, so...

Eight months to Mars.

Eject.

Eject.

Endurance is starting to heat.

Engines up!

Eureka!

Even

Even if you communicate it here, she won't understand its significance for years.

Even me, huh?

Every hour we spend on that planet will be...

Every rivet that they strike could have been a bullet.

Everybody ready to say goodbye to our solar system?

Evolution has yet to transcend that simple barrier.

Ex mites.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Explain to me how you found this facility.

Explorers, pioneers, not caretakers.

Family?

Faster, Tom. I'm losing it.

Few men have been.

Find how to tell her.

Find us a new home.

Finished second in school.

Five hundred meters.

Flashes of lightness and blackness.

Follow me.

For them.

Forever. You hear me?

Forgive me, Murph.

Frozen cloud.

Gain back the years?

General settings.

Get in, let's go.

Get in.

Get out there and save them.

Get out.

Get the principals and the girl in the conference room, please.

Get to the hatch!

Get your ass back to the Ranger now!

Get your butt back in bed, Murph. Heh.

Glasses or cups, whatever it was, upside down.

Go away!

Go for main engine start. T minus 10...

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

Go, go! Go!

Go, go! Go!

Go! If you're leaving, just go.

Go.

Go. Go.

God, they just pack up and leave.

Goddamn it!

Going manual.

Good job.

Good, good Murph.

Good.

Goodbye, Ranger.

Goodbye.

Grab your pillow.

Grandpa attended the ceremony.

Grandpa died last week.

Grandpa said, huh?

Grandpa said.

Grandpa will be back in a couple hours, Murph.

Granted, but Edmunds' data is more promising.

Gravitational pull. I'm losing control of the stick.

Gravity to send a message.

Gravity...

Guys? We'll be approaching the Wormhole in about three hours.

Had to reset every compass clock and GPS to offset for the anomaly.

Hang in there. Come on.

Hang on!

Hard to know. Years?

Hatch lockout disengaged.

He came back!

He had no pain.

He has a right to know.

He inspired 11 people to follow him on the loneliest journey in human history.

He never even hoped to get the people off the Earth?

He sent you a message.

He should've planted corn like the rest of us.

He told you, right?

He told you, right?

He wanted me to bring it for your brother.

He was at peace.

He was at peace.

He was prepared to destroy his own humanity in order to save the species.

He's a robot. So you don't have to ask him to do anything.

He's been asking for you since he came to.

He's coming, Murph!

He's going to make an excellent farmer.

He's on the ground, and he's sending a very unambiguous message, telling us...

He's remarkable. He's the best of us.

He's remarkable. We're only here because of him.

Heading towards blackness.

Heh.

Heh. You heard?

Hello, Cooper.

Hello, Murph.

Hello, Rom.

Hence the bravery.

Her beacon.

Her favorite team is playing. There's gonna be candy and soda and...

Here we go.

Here.

Here. Pills.

Here's Gargantua. Here's Miller's planet.

Hey, Coop?

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Murph?

Hey, TARS, what's your honesty parameter?

Hey, TARS? Let's go over that trajectory one more time.

His solution was correct. He'd had it for years.

His world has key elements to sustain human life.

Hm?

Holy shit.

Home sweet home. Everything replaced and put back where it...

Honestly, Amelia...

Honesty, new setting:

How bad?

How did you find this place?

How do you know?

How do you know?

How long you think it's been up there?

How would you raise them?

How...? How many years?

How's gravity treating you back there?

How's the wreckage stayed together after all these years, huh?

How's this work? You guys come with?

I actually, uh, did a paper on you in high school.

I almost got it. Don't stop. Don't stop!

I am thinking about my family and millions of other families, okay?

I am transmitting it on all wavelengths, but nothing is getting out, Cooper.

I asked Murph to say hi, but she's as stubborn as her old man.

I asked Murph to say hi, but she's as stubborn as her old man.

I asked you to have faith.

I brought myself here!

I called it a ghost because it felt...

I can do this. I can do this.

I can take you to the probe sites, but I don't think...

I can't be your ghost right now.

I can't miss this!

I couldn't teach her Einstein's theories before I left.

I did that. Now you should come take a look.

I didn't mean to intrude. It's just that I've never seen you in here before.

I do, professor.

I do.

I don't care who describes it, there is no way for it to be exaggerated. It was that bad.

I don't know anything about you. I don't know anything about this place.

I don't know what he said to you...

I don't know where you are, Dad...

I don't know, but they constructed this three dimensional space...

I don't think you need to be that honest.

I don't touch your stuff.

I don't understand.

I don't want to disturb his archival functions.

I feel good.

I figured out the message.

I get that, TARS.

I give you my word.

I got this.

I got you suspended.

I guess I can't describe it. It was just constant.

I hadn't a lot of hope to begin with, but...

I have a cue light I can use when I'm joking if you like.

I have a suggestion for your return journey.

I have a visual of the event.

I have my kids here for me now.

I have to tell you, Dr. Mann, I'm honored to be a part of this.

I hear your meeting at the school didn't go so well.

I heard they shut you down, sir...

I hesitate to term it supernatural, but it definitely wasn't scientific.

I just don't think your bookshelf's trying to talk to you.

I just had something I needed to get out.

I just have to know.

I just want to know...

I kind of wanted to call him Coop, but Lois says, uh, maybe next time.

I knew a Dr. Brand once. He was a professor.

I know all about your life back on Earth.

I know you'll get this message. Professor Brand's assured me he'll get it to you.

I know, professor.

I know.

I learned what I could from the black hole...

I let you all down.

I lied to you.

I lied, Murph.

I like our farm.

I like what you do.

I love you forever, and I'm coming back.

I love you, Tom.

I need to exist.

I need to fix this before I go.

I never made one of these when you were still responding...

I really think this is the one.

I repeat, do not open the inner hatch. I repeat...

I see him, I see him! CASE, bank! Bank right!

I still pay my taxes.

I talk to Amelia all the time.

I think I'll take her to that.

I think it might have.

I think it's them.

I think it's them.

I think that's great.

I thought I could, but I can't.

I thought I was alone before I shut him down.

I thought I was prepared. I knew the theory.

I thought they chose me.

I told you about my ghost.

I tried to do my duty, Cooper...

I trust you'll be as objective then.

I want to know where we are.

I want to talk to my daughter.

I wanted you to believe...

I was trying to do the right thing!

I was your ghost.

I Will.

I wouldn't know.

I, uh...

I...

I...

I'd need the old optical transmitter off KIPP, Cooper.

I'd really like to secure those sites by nightfall.

I'll finish what you started.

I'll need TARS to remove and adapt some components from KIPP.

I'll supervise.

I'll try again next time.

I'm afraid of time.

I'm an old man, Murph.

I'm asking you to trust me.

I'm coming back.

I'm counting every minute, same as you, Cooper.

I'm drawn across the universe to someone I haven't seen in a decade...

I'm dropping Torn, then heading to town.

I'm going home, Rom.

I'm going home.

I'm gonna give it something socially responsible to do...

I'm gonna spiral down on top of it. Everybody hang on!

I'm gonna use the Ranger's aerodynamics to save some fuel.

I'm here, professor.

I'm here.

I'm here. I'm here for you.

I'm hoping we can surprise at least three of them.

I'm not always gonna be here to help you.

I'm not joking.

I'm not sure you can.

I'm not thanking anybody until we get out of here in one piece, Rom.

I'm sorry about your wife, Mr. Cooper.

I'm sorry, Cooper...

I'm sorry, I can't watch you go through this. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure you'll be excited to see what's in store.

I'm trying Morse.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I've already told him what to look for.

I've already told him what to look for.

I've been working on it, like you said.

I've got class.

I've got kids, professor.

I've never been in here before.

If he takes control of that ship, we're dead.

If he's equipped to transmit every form of energy that can pulse.

If I can find a way to transmit the quantum data I'll find in there...

If the house was built on magnetic ore...

If the signal's coming from here, then...

If there's an answer here on Earth, it's back there...

If we could just see the collapsed star inside...

If we don't want a repeat of the excess and wastefulness of the 20th century, then...

If we had any of those left, the doctors would've been able to find...

If we're talking about a couple years, I could use the time to research gravity.

If you open the hatch, the airlock will depressurize.

If you record any messages, I can get them to transmit it to Cooper.

If you're leaving, just go.

If you're wrong, you will have a very personal decision to make.

If... If you'll follow me, we've got a really good situation for you.

Imperfect contact.

In April... I believe I'm right... Fifteenth of April, I think.

In binary. Roger. Feeding data.

In case the ghost is trying to communicate.

In the illustrations, they're trying to show you how it works.

Initiating spin!

Instead of taking the Endurance into orbit around Miller's planet...

Is a lion evil because it rips a gazelle to shreds?

Is she still alive'?

Is that 90 percent "wouldn't know" or 10 percent "wouldn't know"?

Is that Murph?

Is there any possibility...

Is this really what it was like?

It came along right as we needed it.

It can stretch and it can squeeze, but...

It felt like a person.

It has to mean something.

It helps.

It is not sa...

It knocked it off. It keeps knocking books off.

It looks good for your trajectory.

It might.

It only has to work once, Murph.

It requires a person to access function.

It sucks in asteroids and comets, other events which would otherwise reach you.

It takes two numbers to measure your ass but only one to measure my son's future?

It was a brilliant piece of propaganda.

It was gravity.

It was in orbit around the Wormhole.

It was never this clean, Slick. Heh.

It was trying to tell me something.

It was you.

It wasn't hurting anybody.

It'll have to be good. We're heading into Gargantua's pull.

It's a perfect planet, and we won't find another one like her.

It's a sphere.

It's all black.

It's all blackness.

It's all yours, sir.

It's an Indian Air Force drone. Solar cells could power an entire farm.

It's an old federal textbook. We've replaced them with the corrected versions.

It's bad. They cannot stay here.

It's funny.

It's infinitely complex.

It's just like Brand said. My connection with Murph, it is quantifiable. It's the key!

It's just water!

It's kind of hard to explain.

It's like we've forgotten who we are, Donald.

It's not a ghost.

It's not Morse, Murph. It's binary.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's pretty clear you don't want any visitors.

It's recursive. It's nonsensical.

It's what the government could spare.

It's what we intended, Dr. Brand.

Its, uh, power source was shot, but we could get you another one.

Jesus.

Judging by the wreckage, she was...

Just being honest.

Just fine.

Just let me ask you something.

Just remember, Coop, you are literally wasting your breath.

Just reset the controllers.

Just take this gently.

Just that steady blow...

Just what we take with us, then.

Just when did this probe become a "he," professor?

Just...

Keep watch!

Kind of an accident. We sort of stumbled upon it. We were on a salvage run...

Know that I love you.

Lander 1 engines, on my mark.

Landing there takes us dangerously close.

Laura Miller's planet is first.

Let me go home.

Let me guess. It was your ghost?

Let me make something abundantly clear. You have a responsibility...

Let's get out of here.

Let's go.

Let's lay her down right there at the edge of the reservoir.

Let's make that 60 percent.

Listen, all that matters is how you feel about it.

Listen, if you're not going to go, let your family go. Just save your family.

Little late, Coop.

Lois says that, uh...

Lois, I have a friend who...

Lois?

Look after my family, will you, please, sir?

Look after my kids, Donald!

Look at Miller's planet. Hydrocarbons, organics, yes...

Look at the books! Look at this. It says, "Stay."

Look at this!

Look, Coop, you have to be realistic.

Look, Cooper, I screwed up. I'm sorry.

Look, I could swing around that neutron star to decelerate.

Look.

Losing control of the stick. I got flashes.

Love has meaning, yes. Social utility, social bonding, child rearing...

Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving...

Magnetism or some such.

Main engines on.

Make him stay, Murph.

Make him stay, Murph.

Make him stay.

Make yourself useful.

Mankind was born on Earth, it was never meant to die here.

Manually overriding inside hatch!

Marines don't exist anymore.

Maximum velocity achieved.

Maybe I should fan the flame.

Maybe it means something more, something we can't...

Maybe it's some evidence, some...

Maybe right now she's settling in for the long nap...

Maybe some kind of signal? I don't know.

Maybe that's because Grandpa's close to being one himself. Back to bed.

Maybe the sun cooked its brain or it was looking for something.

Maybe we should trust that, even if we can't understand it yet.

Maybe. He was sending the thumbs up right until it went dark.

Messages span 23 years.

Miller hasn't sent much, but what she has is very promising. It's water, it's organics...

Miller's and Dr. Mann's planets both orbit it.

Miller's site has kept pinging thumbs up, as has Dr. Mann's. Um...

Millimeters of aluminum, that's it, and then nothing...

Miss Hanley's here to talk about Murph.

Miss Kurling's still giving me C's though.

Mom lets me play in here.

More data. You need to see into a black hole.

More? More what?

Morse?

Morse.

Morse. Morse.

Moving slowly toward the Endurance.

Mr. Cooper.

Murph is a bright spark.

Murph is a great kid. She's really bright.

Murph is tired. I was wondering if she could take a nap in my office.

Murph was there at the funeral.

Murph, don't...? Don't people have a right to know?

Murph, I can see his car!

Murph, the fire's out! Come on!

Murph, they chose me. You saw. You're the one who led me to them.

Murph, Tom, you guys shut your windows?

Murph, we don't have time for this! Come on!

Murph, would you like some more souffle?

Murph! Murph! Murph!

Murph?

Murph?

Murph? Murph, come on!

Murph.

Murph.

Murph.

Murphy

Murphy

Murphy

Murphy's Law doesn't mean that something bad will happen.

Murphy's Law. Whatever can happen will happen.

Must have a very smart mother.

My crash. Something tripped my fly by wire.

My dad thought I called it a ghost...

My daughter knew it, God bless her.

My father dedicated...

My kids?

My kids. Your father.

My sewing machine is in there, but there's plenty...

My supplies were completely exhausted.

Name's Lois. That's her right there.

Never mind.

Newton's third law.

Next year I'm gonna work Nelson's farm and we'll make it up.

Nice and easy, Mr. Cooper.

Nice of you to name it after me.

Nice one, Tom.

Nice.

Ninety percent it is, Dr. Brand.

No air.

No idea at all!

No long shot.
