This field guide you made,

I think we can use it
to our advantage,

create real sustainability here.

Let's get some rest.
There's always tomorrow.

Huh.

"Huh"? Huh what?

Your breathing
is abnormally slow,

and your pulse
is barely detectable.

But this thing inside of you
appears to be thriving.

Thriving? On what?

[ Sighs ] On you.
It's a parasite.

Sam, I know you're feeling fine,

but I think this is
only going to get worse.

I'm worried...
for the both of us.

Why don't I just rip it out?

I'm afraid that's the only thing
keeping you alive.

And if you pull it out...
you might die.

But I feel okay.
Really.

You've been acting like
a completely different person.

How do I know I can trust you?

I'm telling you, I'm back.

Ask me anything.
Okay.

What was the first thing
you said to me

when we stepped foot
on this planet?

I asked you if I should
have stayed up there.

Mm-hmm.

Do you remember
why you asked that?

'Cause I... I felt like
I abandoned my crew.

I mean, they're
my responsibility.

Alright. Okay.

And, um, can you
tell me something

about your life
before the mission?

Like what?
Anything.

An experience or memory
that comes to mind.

[ Breathes deeply ]

I remember, um...

♪♪

I-I-I'm on an island
somewhere.

I...

I'm looking for something.

I'm running towards
a juniper tree.

And then I see her...

sitting under the tree,
waving at me.

Sarah.
My girlfriend.

Sarah?

Yeah, we took a trip together
before I left.

But we had to break it off
because, well, you know.

Wow, I didn't take you
for the romantic type, Sam.

You find that hard to believe?

[ Chuckles ]

No, I don't find it
hard to believe.

You just never mentioned it.

Well, listen, Sam,
you seem okay enough.

Let's keep an eye on this,
and we can get it taken care of

when we get to the medical
facilities on the Demeter.

Just stay focused.

Yeah.

Let's just get there.

[ Animal calls ]

[ Insects chirping ]

♪♪

We can't make it over.

We're going to have to
find another way.

Do you want to try
North or South?

We're gonna go the most
direct route.

That means climbing...
here.

Okay.

Is it safe to climb?

Well, it won't be a problem
for me and Barry.

There's no type of terrain
we can't handle.

But we could use someone
like you.

Kris, maybe we should just take
a second to think this over.

We're going to be
sitting ducks up there.

We haven't had time to process
what happened to Terrence,

and I don't think
he would want us

making a rash decision
because of that.

Well, thanks for letting me know
what you think

Terrence would've wanted.

I'm sorry.

I know you've had a lot of
close calls in this place

that have left you scared.

I get it.

But if you want,

I can show you how
to never be scared again.

It's just their shells.

Hmm. They must have molted

It looks like we're gonna have
to get past these mountains

Azi: It wasn't your fault,

What wasn't my fault?

Terrence.

I know. I just wish
I could have helped him.

He was my best friend.

I should have told him that.

I think he knew.

I hope so.

[ Grunts ]

Climb with your feet.
Keep them quiet.

[ Sighs ]

Quiet?
What do you mean?

Place them correctly
and shift your weight down

all in one move.

That's smart, Barry.

Thanks.
Yeah.

I know a lot about this, so I
can tell you more if you want.

My friend Mia is a rock climber.

She talked about us
going together

when we got to the colony.

Maybe I can use your tips
to impress her.

Who's Mia?

Mia is one of the other
passengers on my ship.

She was in cryo-sleep
when we had to evacuate.

I hope she's still there,
safe and sound.

What's she like?

She's thoughtful, kind, funny.

Is she cool like you?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I'd say
she's pretty cool.

Okay.
I have to meet her, then.

Hopefully you will.

Ask Kris.

You're doing good, Azi.

Remember, up here we have to
rely on each other.

That trust can be the difference
between life and death.

Copy that.

You, me, and Barry.

That's all that matters.

We're almost there.

This next leg
is going to be the real test.

We're going to have to
free solo.

Barry will go first
and find the best path.

You and I will follow.

Right, I'll follow your lead.

That's what I like to hear.

♪♪

Sam, you staying with me?

Yeah, great.
I feel great.

Stay focused.

I'm focused, but it's weird.

The soil here is dead...

completely lifeless.

I felt the change as we were
floating down the river.

Nothing can grow here.

But look, these crystal
structures poke through

and part the soil
and climb towards the sky

to create a home
for whatever those things are.

My feeling right now
is that I am that soil.

Uh-huh.

Do you feel that?
What?!

You're free.

That fear you were carrying
with you is gone now.

You left it at the bottom
of this mountain.

If there's anything else you
have to let go, let it go now.

Are you f*cking crazy?!

Pull me up!

[ Gasps ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

Past fears and attachments
only get in the way.

Think about what you want to
bring with you going forward.

Ugh.

I do want to help you.

Good.

Because helping you helps me.

But if you ever
pull that sh*t again,

you're going to get
a stark f*cking reminder

of what fear is.

I'm just trying to prepare you.

You don't seem to realize,
when we get to your ship,

no one's gonna be there.

It's just going to be you,
me, and Barry.

Your friends are already dead.

We'll camp here for the night.

All in all, you did good.
You're getting stronger.

I am?
Yeah.

It's good to see. You're gonna
be an asset soon enough.

Soon enough,
I'm gonna be an asset.

I thought I'd be able to see
the Demeter from up here,

but I can't find it.
Oh, we're close.

We'll spot it when the siren
goes off in the morning.

I guess you're right.
[ Sighs ]

I want you to know, Azi,
we're doing this for our people.

The equipment and valuables
on that ship

will make a real difference
for our colony.

We're getting close.

I can't wait to see
what's on the ship.

I'm just nervous
it's too late, Barry.

Don't be nervous.
Nervous climbers fall.

That's another tip
you can tell her.

Maybe.

Thanks again
for helping me today.

It's time for bed, Barry.
Leave Azi alone.

I am leaving her alone.
