Control Room

- - Olivia!

-Dad? -Open the door, honey!

Push the button!

No, don't do it, Olivia.

-Mom? -Sweetie, push the button!

Listen to me, Livy, don't open the door!

-Olivia! Open the door, now! -Honey, something bad

has come on board the ship.

But Dad's stuck out there.

Dad knows the rules. Once the doors close,

-they stay closed. -

- - Olivia!

Push the damn button!

-Olivia! -

Olivia, when you get out of there,

we're not gonna be here anymore.

But I want you to know how much we love you, okay?

You're my brave little girl.

My sweet, brave little girl.

I know you're gonna be okay. I love you so much, sweethea--

Mom? Mom?

White noise deactivated.

What're you looking at?

Nothing, it's just a map.

I'm really thirsty.

Do you know where we are?

This is you right here, and this is me.

And there's your dad in bed, snoring.

And where do you work?

Right here.

In the control room.

Can you show me where Lucas is?

Your friend Lucas?

-No, my best friend, Lucas. -

And...

And do you think you can find my mom?

Well, where your mom is doesn't have maps.

Mera loves you.

When are you gonna bring your stuff?

Ander, come on.

What do you mean, "come on"? "Come on" what?

Your contract ends in three months,

and then you're leaving the colony.

But I'm talking about these three months.

I mean right now.

I'm here now, aren't I?

Here with you and Mera.

I'm standing in your apartment, in your kitchen,

rejecting your coffee.

I'll try to come by later. Even if it's late.

At Hite Industries, we're pushing the frontier

of human colonization.

Sign one of our humanity-changing

15-year contracts.

Explore new worlds,

build a home on a new planet,

and make your mark

on one of our groundbreaking colonies.

Hey, is that the mine from last month over there?

Retire whenever your heart desires

and enjoy the rest of your life.

Even on Earth, Mom? Really?

Yes, my love. Even on Earth.

Explore new frontiers with us,

and we'll make sure you're taken care of

for the rest of your life.

Because at Hite Industries, we care about you.

- Jorge. - Patel, Flores!

Hey, congratulations.

Thanks, Jorge.

You know if it's a boy or a girl?

-It's a boy. -A girl.

We don't know yet.

Poor thing has no idea.

Next stop: Industrial Complex.

This is the final stop.

They told me you're an earthling

and you talk about Earth all the time.

Did they? And who are "they"?

Is it really true

that earthlings are allowed to have pets on their planet?

A cat, or a parrot, or a seagull?

Look here.

You see that fake tree?

Well, on Earth, all the trees are real.

They have leaves growing on them and animals living inside them.

You know why?

Because they actually get more than two hours

of damn sunshine every day.

Hey, I didn't mean to...

Hangar door is open. We are inbound for landing.

Copy that, A29.

All right, I'm in.

Pressurizing complete in five seconds.

Copy that, Arlo. Appreciate you.

And, changing the subject, how's it been with Olivia?

She still annoying the hell out of you?

Ah, she has her moments.

Door opening.

Control room, over and out.

Did I miss anything?

A29 has just gotten back.

It's been very eventful.

We had a fuse blow in sector four.

And another clogged toilet in the refinery.

I told ya. We have the best job in the entire galaxy.

Hello, Olivia Rubio.

Welcome back to your work station.

Hite Industries wishes you a pleasant day.

What are all those boxes?

It's for the new equipment installation.

Looks like security cameras, computers,

transmitters, you know, the works.

But everything's still reliable.

Door closing.

The exact phrase they used

was that "our system is obsolete."

Yeah, well, you'll never catch me agreeing with anyone

who decides to install a whole new system

on a Thursday night.

You've got a call.

Mera, is everything good?

Is it true you're leaving?

I heard you talking to my dad before.

Mera.

I came here on a temporary contract.

When it's done, I have to go back to Earth.

Remember I was born there?

Well, what if we came with you?

Or maybe you can come back and live with us.

Look, I...

I really do love being here with you.

-But you... -I love you too.

Just listen to me.

You're a very brave little girl.

You're so sweet and brave, and I know you'll be fine.

And don't you forget that.

But Olivia...

Damn it.

I suck at talking to kids.

Yeah, you kinda do.

I told her dad when we first met.

You gotta remember I'm going back to Earth

when my contract's up.

I have three months left of my fifteen years.

They know I'm leaving, but they keep pressuring me.

Well, Ander was born and raised here.

He doesn't understand the concept

of going somewhere else and living off your pension.

Even though he constantly sees it

in the ads for the corporation.

Yeah, well, that's the agreement we made.

He's known that since the beginning.

What do they want?

For me to just spend the rest of my life here?

Obviously not, these people would kill to live on Earth.

With all its trees, oceans, all the animals.

You'd need to have money, of course.

Otherwise, there isn't very much to do.

How long has it been since you were there again?

Twenty years?

It's not like anyone's waiting for you over there.

Thanks for the reminder, Arlo.

You're a real ray of sunshine.

Why don't you just get back your station

and focus on your work?
