What's that?

It's coming through the black hole.

You think it's coming
from another reality?

[Richard] If we reposition
the EM sensors

to align with this black hole,
it should clear it up.

[Juliet] You want to go back out there?

You remember what happened last time.

We do it on the dark side orbit.

[Richard] The space station
was ripped apart.

We were sucked out into space.

You mean what you saw
could be the future?

One possible future.

You led them to us.

They were going to k*ll me.

Tom helped me escape.
I didn't tell them anything.

- Then why are they here?
- I don't know.

[Zoe] f*ck! Go!

[Bill] Tom, what happened?

They sh*t him.

Take him to a hospital.

I'll hand myself in if I have to.

It's okay, Tom.

I'm pregnant.

We thought there
was no future for our people.

There is no future!

You're pregnant?

I thought it was impossible.

Those scraps of paper you found
at the factory,

I know what they came from.

She came looking for me.
She's in a coma.

She's in the hospital. In Oxford.

[Gideon] Your wrists! Hold them up!

[Sam] We're human.

My parents. They need help.

Sam.

Your people are sick, aren't they?

You think our blood can cure you?

[Gideon] Blood from
the right person, yeah.

What do you mean?

Blood from the family of the woman

who gave birth to our people.

We know they're in London.

Emily.

You know her?

Do you know where her family are?

Tell me.

[Catherine panting]

- Her brother.
- Where is he?

Where?

Where?

If I take you to him,
will you let us go?

Our blood's no use to you.

I can take you to Emily's brother.

How do I know you're not lying?

If I'm lying, you'll k*ll us.

[people chattering indistinctly]

[machine beeping steadily]

Who are you?

We're old friends of Catherine's.

You must be Johannes?

I didn't know Catherine
had any friends in England.

[chuckles softly]

[Zoe] There's someone who'd really like

to speak to you about Catherine's work.

He's downstairs.

Now?

It's really not a good time.

And I'm really... I'm sorry about that,

but it is important.

Do the doctors know you're in here?

I think you should leave.

Please don't do anything stupid.

[elevator dings]

That means get in.

From the look on your face,
I assume you know who I am.

What happened to Catherine?

You know her?

Hmm.

- How?
- [Zoe] Answer the question.

She was conducting an experiment.

She exposed herself

to the beamline
in a particle accelerator.

Why?

Catherine believed
these things people are seeing

are experiences they've had in...

[clears throat]

an alternate reality.

She figured it out.

She wanted to prove

the gravitational waves
of the black hole

are what's causing it.

She was in contact with an astronaut

on the International Space Station.

He provided her
with the data and formulas.

Exposing herself to the beamline.

What would that do?

Black holes emit gravitational waves.

Catherine was trying to entangle
the particles in the beamline

with the black hole in the exosphere.

She thought she could create a pathway

to this alternate reality.

Do you think it worked?

I don't know.

[sighs]

Are you done?

Are the matter waves stable?

You said we had no future.

Martha's pregnant.

Martha and her baby will
fall ill like the rest of us.

Tom's blood can treat them.

You really think Tom will help
her now he knows who she is?

It's his child.

They won't allow any of us to live.

The only hope we have is for revenge.

I won't let you k*ll them.

Hiram!

- [Adina grunts]
- [groans]

[chokes]

[both struggling]

[bones cracking]

[Adina panting]

[Rod clatters]

What about Sam?

When we return with Emily's
brother, I'll let him go.

You expect me to trust you?

No more than we trust you.

I'm not leaving without him.

[Sam] Catherine?

You have to go.

Let me talk to him.

I can't leave you here.

If you don't go, they're gonna k*ll us.

You have to go.

I'll come back for you. I promise.

[Gideon] It's time.

I'll come back for you.

[faint voices chattering
indistinctly over radio]

What are the source co-ordinates?

The same as before. It's coming
through the black hole.

What are they saying?

[voices getting louder]

"Extraterrestre" I keep hearing.

Extraterrestre...

Extraterrestrial.

Alien.

[Adina] His organs failed.

You did all you could for him.

I'm sorry.

[sobbing]

[robot limbs whirring]

- Do you need to rest?
- No.

Silas!

Silas, can you stand?

You have to leave me. [panting]

No. No, we'll take you back.

- [Silas] It's too important.
- You have to get the boy.

You rest...

and we'll come back for you
as soon as we have Emily's brother.

Go.

[robot limbs whirring]

[Bill] Where did you find this place?

Airbnb.

[Bill] I've tried the email
on Johannes' phone

and sent a message to the astronaut

that Catherine was in contact with.

What did you tell him?

The truth.

[Gideon] How far is it to the gallery?

Fifteen minutes.

We need to wait until it's light.

It's too slow moving in the dark.

[Bill] This is a message
for Richard Keller.


I need to talk to you
about Catherine Durand.


I... I know Catherine.

Not in this time,
but from another world.


These things that people
are seeing, they're...


they're not hallucinations.

They're things that people
have actually experienced


in an alternate reality.

We were att*cked by an alien race.

We call them aliens,
but actually, they were humans.


From the future.

[Bill exhales]

Hmm.

Just getting some fresh air.

You don't realize how...

how prison stinks
until you get out of it.

What's it smell like?

sh*t, sweat, mostly.

Nice.

How are you feeling?

Better.

It still hurts though.

Well, at least you'll have
a cool scar to...

to show your girlfriend.

Sorry.

[Tom] It's okay.

It's weird to think
that there are people up there.

On the space station.

[Bill] Mmm.

When the orbit is right,
you can see it from the earth.

[Tom] Hmm.

What?

You...

You used to help me.

- In the lab.
- [scoffs]

I'm rubbish at science.

Now, that's not true.

What are you doing in university?

- Well...
- Media studies.

How did you know that?

You told me.

Good for you.

[chuckles]

You don't really mean that, do you?

It is a w*nk*r's degree.

[chuckles softly]

Well, I'd better get in
and get something to eat.

[Juliet] Do you believe him?

As insane as it sounds, it makes sense.

He m*rder*d a -year-old girl.

To save billions of lives.

That's what he claims.

"Extraterrestre."
We heard it on the radio.

They were talking about aliens.

It could just be two Spanish
guys discussing Star Wars.

How do you explain
these things I've seen?

The things that thousands
of people on Earth have seen?

I can't. It doesn't mean
he's telling the truth.

What if he is?

We should at least hear him out.

Mission control is not going
to let you video call

with a convicted m*rder*r
who's on the run.

We might have to bounce this off
of someone else's satellite.

You're risking our careers.

Just mine. This is on me.
I'll take the fall.

This is good pad thai.

[Kariem] Mmm.

You want some more?

Mmm. No, thanks.

[Bill] Helen...

Helen loved pad thai.

[ringtone chiming]

It's the space station.

He went for it?

- Which button do I press?
- [Zoe] Oh.

Hello?

Can you hear me?

- Hello?
- Hello? Hello?

You got my message?

Yeah.

It's quite a story.

I wish none of these things
had ever happened, but it did.

Things have happened that make me think

you're telling the truth.

I... I need to understand
Catherine's paper.

Can you help me?

The data from the black hole

is scrambled by the effects
of the atmosphere.


Up here, the data's easier to unravel.

With the right formulas,
I realized we could predict

and manipulate the boundary

between the quantum wave function

and the fabric of space-time.

It's our consciousness
that gives them form.

Once you know
how to align our consciousness


with that entanglement,

you realize it's not scrambled at all.

It's a window into another world.

An alternate reality.

Catherine fed the formulas
into the particle accelerator.


The micro black hole she created
entangled with the black hole.

I think it opened the pathway.

The waves Catherine exposed
herself to in the accelerator


were much more powerful.

They caused her body to shut down.

[robot limbs whirring]

They feel affection for you?

They take care of us when we're sick.

And they help raise our young.

I've seen them k*ll children.

Your children.

Are they really so different?

Most of our children die
inside their mother's wombs.

[birds chittering]

Zoe. Zoe, wake up.

What time is it?

I think I know what the aliens
are trying to do.

They're trying to create a black hole.

What will it do?

Entangle itself with the black hole

at the edge of the earth's atmosphere.

The gravitational waves

will cause our neurons
to fire uncontrollably.

We fall into a coma...

and we die.

[bell tolling]

[birds chirping softly]

- Zoe!
- What is it?

I think I've been spotted.

[Zoe] What were you doing in the garden?

I was drinking my coffee.

- You were drinking coffee?
- You stupid prick.

- [sirens wailing]
- sh*t!

[sirens wailing]

[Bill] Zoe!

Jesus.

[engine starts]

[breathing deeply]

Even if we do manage to...
stop the att*ck,

I'm going to go to prison
for the rest of my life.

I'm gonna die in that sh*thole.

All I wanted... was to have a coffee,

feel the sun on my face.

Could be the last time I get to do that.

The coffee was good though.

What is it with old people and coffee?

Sorry, it's just...
it's all you think about.

"I'm dying for a coffee."

"The coffee here's really good."

"Mmm! Great coffee."

You're obsessed.

[robot limps whirring]

[gasps]

It's there.

There's another door
at the back of the building.

Nathan!

You promise to let me go
once you have Emily's brother?

Yeah.

And Sam?

Yes!

We don't have time.

[Catherine shudders]

[speaking in French]

Catherine!

You think you can forgive him?

Part of me wants to.

And then I think about Em.

What he did to her.

I hated him.

I hated him so much.

Hate can eat away at you
until it's all you feel.

Then you are truly lost.

You think I should forgive him?

That's not for me to say.

Could you?

No.

But I think you have it in you.

[speaking French]

[sighs]

[chuckles]

Hey, have they come back?

Hey, please.
Hey, please, what's happening?

They haven't returned.

This is Dr. Catherine Durand.
Can you hear me?


Catherine?

Catherine?

[static buzzing]

Catherine?

Richard?

[Richard speaking indistinctly]

[chuckles]

I found her.

I'm with my sister.

Where?

Another world.

An alternate timeline.

[Richard] So we're communicating
through the black hole?

How's that possible?

I found some notes
from my time here before.


There's a formula that maps

the entanglement entropy of any object.

It can be applied to the black hole.

So entanglement provides a solution

to the information paradox?

A complete solution.

That's how we're able
to speak to each other.

Where did this solution
come from? From the aliens?

A young physicist developed it
using their knowledge.


I should be able to tell you more

as soon as I've gone through
the rest of his notes.

[banging]

[banging continues]

[door unlatches]

[g*nf*re echoes]

[Richard] Catherine?

[g*nf*re echoes]

Catherine?

[robot limbs approaching]

[banging]

[banging continues]
