- 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.
- 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.
Welcome to the Seed Initiative.
We sincerely thank
you for complying
with the population code.
Your sacrifice ensures that
future generations have access
to the same peaceful
and sustainable world
you were afforded by
those before you.

difficult this day
can be for you and your family.
But rest assured once you've
seeded they will receive
the full support of our agency.
We will take care of them
as if they were our own.
They will not be forgotten.
You're scared right now.
I know what you're
thinking, everyone does,
but remember balance will be
maintained one way or another.
Be honorable, be brave.
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.
- 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?
- What was that hmm?
- 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.
- To hope.
- 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?
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.
