Hey, John, it's mom.
I wish you would
pick up your phone.
You know you get
this from your dad.
Trying to turn off your emotions
and shut yourself out.
We all miss her, John.
But we need to work
together on this.
Especially you.
No amount of silence or anger
or resentment toward yourself
is ever gonna bring her back.
Your dad and I worry about you
and what you...
Just please, don't
try to drown this out
with a bottle, John, please.
I love you, son.
And I hate that you're
back to work again already.
So, just please be
careful out there, okay?
I love you.
All right
Whoa, yeah
Soul searching for the truth
Standing on a ship of fools
Tempest tossed
on a sea of lies
Who's making up these rules
We've all been through this
I shed a tear
You'll do anything for power
But you're cut off
from anything real
In the eye of a tower
Oh no
The whole world's
turning to green
Oh yeah
Remember us
Believe what you want
Don't put your trust
In the pain
Time after time
Oh
Finally arrive
Don't put your trust
In the pain
Oh
Looks like it's gonna get
a little rough here, bud.
Better belt in.
Beware the cost
They muddle every path
In light I can see your face
Standing in the back
Shit.
They only want
to hide the truth
Digging deeper in the hole
You've got to look
before you leap
'Cause you can't
trust the sound
Oh no
The whole world's
turning to green.
Whoa!
Good job, buddy.
Kept your head on straight
through the spin cycle.
Remember us
Believe what you want
But don't put your trust
In the pain
Time after time
Oh
You've finally arrived
Don't put your
trust in the pain
You've finally survived
All the time
It's all in your mind
It's all in your mind
Well, they'll
never believe you
They just wanna deceive you.

Mac!
Mac, Mac, come here.
I'm glad one of us is okay.
Hold on, buddy, hold on.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay, stay.
This is Captain Rauge.
Calling in a mayday
due to touchdown
on planet D-14.
Uh,
upon atmosphere penetration,
lateral vibration must've
caused some sort of
short in phase-detractors.
Analog thrust got me down here,
but it's not gonna be
enough to relaunch.
Long story short, I'm
gonna need a jump.
I'll waste no time in finding
an alternate power source
as this planet's already
given me some concerns.
Number one, being I
landed in the desert,
and now I'm in the snow,
less than three mile away.
The time is...
Shit, come on, Mac.
I guess that means
it's supper time, huh?
You know, I was saving
these for an emergency,
but I guess this constitutes
an emergency, huh?
Easy there, Chef Ramsay.
What if I told you
this might be the only
food on the planet?
There, that's what I thought.
Truth be told, I don't
know what to expect.
You see, the problem is,
that a normal planet
is shaped like this.
Nice and round, fixed
axis, consistent mass.
Predictable, right?
But Ellipse was spit from
the mouth of a wormhole
about four years ago
and because of the
way it came out,
it came out shaped
like this, like an egg.
Now, we landed right here.
The point with the most
mass under our feet.
Now, with no axis and
no consistent G-force,
it essentially spins like
the Scrambler at a carnival.
You can pretty much
forget everything you know
about weather patterns,
gravity, and time.
There's a myth that it's
the fountain of youth.
Well, we know
that's not the case.
We got to get the
hell outta here.
Well, judging by the
gray hair on your beard,
and the fact that pee
dribbles down my leg,
long after I'm done urinating,
I'm gonna say that crash took
about six years off our life.
Now for me, it's not a big deal.
It's not ideal, but I'll manage.
For you, however,
that's damn near half your life.
Could've been a lot
worse, you know?
A few more minutes
over there and,
you have no idea how much
you mean to me right now.
I can't let anything
happen to you.
Come on.
Let's hike a little further,
then we'll make camp.
You hear that, right?
I'm hearing it.
There's some kind
of moisture here.
Let's keep walking
and see what happens.
Next we got to find
one made of beer.
Come on, Mac.
Say, Rauge, sorry
about your recent loss.
Tell you what, why
don't you, you know,
get away for a little bit.
Go deep into space and
while you're out there,
just snap some quick photos
of an egg-shaped planet.
Nevermind that the North
Pole's a volatile freaking'
mega-magnet that's gonna
suck the life outta you
and your canine partner.
Oh, gee, Captain, no foolin'?
Say, which vessel do
you want me to take?
Ah, you know, just take
the most dilapidated
piece of crap we got in the yard
salvaged from World War I parts.
You know, the throttle
sticks a little bit
and every once in a while,
the phase-detractors
give you a little trouble,
but you give 'em a
whack with the hammer.
They'll settle down for ya.
Oh, gee, Captain,
that sounds dandy.
Say, before I go, you
think I could maybe
get some of those
leather-bound laces?
You know, the kind
that don't come untied
when you're five
billion miles from home?
Ah, sorry, Rauge, just
not a chance in hell.
Ah, well, hey, you know what?
You tried.
Let's go.
What?
You know, you could
strike up a conversation
any time you want
if you don't wanna hear
me talking to myself.
You know, I did get
myself thinking though.
If this planet really
is a giant magnet,
which I suspect it is,
then by that right,
the other pole, should have
the opposite effect, no?
I don't know.
Maybe this prick really
is the fountain of yo, oh!
What the hell?
Either gravity's
playing tricks on us
or you should let me know if
you see a free clinic nearby,
you know, just to be safe.
What's the matter, buddy?
Is your collar bothering you?
Yeah, I know this gravity's
giving me an
intergalactic creeper,
that's for sure.
Mmm, dog breath.
I've said it before.
I'm probably gonna say it again.
We got to get the
hell outta here.
Yeah, I don't like
that shit either.
Captain Rauge to base, come in.
Engineering department, please.
This is Williams.
Vessel number and ID please.
Williams, just the
guy I was looking for.
I already sent you
your service order
and flight path, John.
Well, check you out.
Yeah, us engineers aren't
half-bad after all, huh?
Anything special I need to know?
It's pretty straightforward.
Just survey and
snap a few photos
and head home.
Yeah, well, this
flight plan sucks.
It's gonna take me three days.
Stick to the plan, John.
You ain't pulling that
cowboy crap on my jobs.
That is a big negative.
I'll be going over to the
north side of Ellipse.
John, we've got no
understanding of Ellipse's
gravitational polarity.
You're talking about
shaving two hours
off of a three day trip.
Time is my most
valuable asset, my friend,
and I've got a girl back home
that's worth every penny.
Oh, speaking of which,
she's beeping in now.
I got to go.
No, no, Rauge.
Oh, oh, losing you.
Later, later.
Babe, it's only been two hours.
What, do you miss me already?
Mom, what are you
doing on Emma's ph...
No.
Hold on, hold on,
slow down, slow down.
No, no, no.
Put her on the phone.
I want to talk to her.
Mom, mom, let me speak
to her right now.
Mom, no, don't tell me that.
I just saw her.
Put her on the phone.
Put,
let me, let me talk to her.
No, no, let me talk
to her right now.
Mom, mom, put her on...
You know, I'm starting
to think those MREs
must be packed with
fiber or something.
Mac,
where's your manners?
Whoo-hoo!
Mac.
Mac, come on.
Come on.
You know what this is, Mac?
This is half a volt.
That's all it takes
is 12 volts, 16 amps.
20 or 30 more of these and
we've got ourselves a battery,
my friend.
Think we're gonna need
some fresh ones, though.
But as far as these bad boys go,
I got other ideas.
I'll give you shelter, baby
I'll take away
every ounce of pain
I'll give you shelter, baby
You know it looks
like it's gonna rain
I'll give you shelter, baby
I'll take away
every ounce of pain
I'll give you shelter, baby
If you come in from the rain
Come on, take it
Come and take my pain
Come on, take it
Come and take my soul away
Come on, take it
Come and take my pain
Come on, take it
Come and take my soul away
Come on, take it
Come on, take it
I'll give you shelter, baby
I'll take away
every ounce of pain
Come on, take it
Come on, take it
3%.
I wonder what 3% will do.
Well, maybe that's a
good stopping point.
Goodnight, Mac.
Eh.
I just work better
when I'm drunk.
Guess all that's left
is to climb a tree, huh?
You know, that
really wasn't as bad
as you think it would be.
Sorry, buddy,
but your little
heart can't take it.
I'm gonna have to do
this one alone, okay?
Mac, no!
No!
Get!
Go!
No!
Mac, why would you do that?
Why would you do that?
That was stupid.
Don't be stupid.
Mac.
I can't lose you.
You scared me.
You scared me.
Bad dog, bad dog, Mac.
Come on.
Our attempt today to
regenerate the phase-detractors
was a failure.
What I didn't account for
was the crest of Ellipse's
affect on all living things.
Nothing survives on Ellipse,
nothing but rocks.
I'm gonna have to charge a
power source off-location,
which means more
rations, more fruit,
and if it works, another
three to five years
off my life.
What's the point?
You know, there's a fifth
of Vodka in the ship
that might not have
broken on impact.
Next time you're
headed that way,
I'd really appreciate it.
Shit.
Get.
Get out of here, will ya?
Get!
Go!

I'm coming, baby.
Where were you?
I'm coming, Emma.
Where were you?
No, no.
Why weren't you there for me?
Mac.

I buried the last
part of you I had today.
15 years.
15 years was all he was
granted in this world.
I never talked to anybody
about what happened on Ellipse.
My official report
deemed it a DNE,
Do Not Explore.
We live in a world
where we fight
over every group of
weeds or patch of dirt
we can plant our flag on.
Knowledge of this power
would take more life
than Ellipse could ever give.
I find it funny that the
metric for a quality life
is the years we breathe and
not the love that we give.
Mac knew that.
Hell, all dogs do.
Not a minute of
his life was wasted
on the worthless
emotions we indulge in,
smart enough to know he
had an unlimited amount
of joy to give, but only
so much time to give it.
15 years weren't taken
away from me on Ellipse.
They were given to me.
Not just the years, but
the ability to face time,
the understanding that
it isn't a countdown
of minutes or
hours, but a diary,
a blank book that we
fill up as much as we can
before we leave.
Tonight, I begin
to fill your pages.
Tonight I see my time with you
for how long it really was.
Tonight, I am in
control of my dreams.
One foot now on the pedal
Gotta run now from the devil
Going max now from the metal
First place, I got my medal
Pick a fight now,
with the devil
Going up now another level
Looking down at the peril
Going up, going
up another level
Adrenaline
Rush through my veins
Take me away from the pain
I got a monster
Inside of me
If it won't let me go
It won't let me be
I got a monster
Inside of me
If it won't let me go
It won't set me free
