Don't even think about it!

What am I gonna do?

I'm just gonna sit and think about it?

I can't think about it, so I'm not going to.

That's the deal. I've made my decision.

I know what I'm doing.

I just cut it off.

I'm not... No more.

You won't hear me bring up her name again.

I'll never even mention her name again.

Done.

You can't do it.

Shaving off my beard.

Please don't do it.

Good morning, Aurora.

How are you feeling?

It's perfectly normal to feel confused.

You just spent 120 years

in suspended animation.

Grand concourse.

Hello?

Anybody?

Hello.

Hi.

Are you passenger or crew?

Passenger.

Jim Preston.

Aurora Lane.

Do you know what's going on?

Nobody else from my row woke up.

Same for me.

The crew's supposed to wake up

a month before we do,

but I haven't seen anybody.

The crew is still asleep.

Are you saying nobody's awake?

Just me.

Just you?

It's just us.

But somebody's got to land the ship

in a few weeks.

We will arrive in approximately 89 years.

Eighty-nine years?

The other passengers aren't late waking up.

We were early.

We need help.

Where's the crew?

The crew's in a secure hibernation room.

Everything important, the controls,

the reactors, the engines...

It's all behind firewalls.

There's no way through.

How long have you been awake?

A year and three weeks.

No. No, no, no.

No, this can't be happening.

We have to go back to sleep.

Aurora, we can't.

We just have to get back to our pods

and start them up again.

I can't find my pod. I can't find my pod.

I can't find my pod. I don't know which...

It doesn't matter.

- Aurora...

- I can't find it!

- Stop. Aurora...

- I can't find which one is mine!

- Stop.

- I don't know which one is mine!

- I'll help you.

- I can't...

Stop! It doesn't matter.

Putting somebody into hibernation

requires special equipment.

Remember the facility

where they put us under,

all the procedures we went through?

These pods are designed

to keep us in hibernation,

to wake us up at the right time,

but they can't put us back to sleep.

You don't think there's a way

back into hibernation?

No.

But there has to be.

There has to be.

9:
00. Nighttime.

I know I should be

working the problem, but...

I can't even keep my eyes open.

You just came out of hibernation.

It's going to be a couple of days

before you're 100%.

You should get some rest.

Think I'm gonna have to.

I'll walk you to your cabin.

No, it's okay. I'll be all right.

Okay.

Good night, Aurora.

More than a year?

I can't imagine.

It must have been so hard for you.

It was.

Good night, Jim.

Please buckle up and secure any loose items.

- Whiskey, neat.

- Sure thing.

How's your day been?
