00:00 Panic won't help. We just have to keep working, same as ever. 00:02 But isn't that exactly what Professor Brand was manipulating us to do ? 00:05 Brand gave up on us . I'm still trying to solve this. 00:09 So... 00:11 ... do you have an idea ? 00:14 A feeling. 00:19 I told you about my ghost . 00:23 My dad thought I called it a ghost... 00:25 ...because I was scared of it. 00:30 But I was never scared of it . 00:34 I called it a ghost because it felt... 00:39 It felt like a person . 00:43 It was trying to tell me something. 00:48 If there's an answer here on Earth, it's back there... 00:51 ...somehow, in that room. 00:54 So I have to find it . 00:59 We're running out of time . 01:02 What about auxiliary oxygen scrubbers? 01:05 No, they can stay. I'll be sleeping anyway. 01:07 - Hey, Coop? -Yeah? 01:09 I have a suggestion for your return journey . 01:11 - Yeah, what's that? - Have one last crack at the black hole. 01:15 I'm going home, Rom. 01:17 Yeah, I know. This isn't going to cost you any time. 01:21 There's a chance for the people on Earth. 01:24 - Talk to me. - Gargantua's an older spinning black hole. 01:27 - It's what we call a gentle singularity. - Gentle? 01:31 They're hardly gentle. But the tidal gravity is so quick that... 01:35 ...something crossing the horizon fast might survive. A probe, say. 01:39 - What happens after it crosses? - After the horizon is a complete mystery. 01:44 So, what's to say there isn't some way that the probe... 01:47 ...can glimpse the singularity and relay the quantum data? 01:50 If he's equipped to transmit every form of energy that can pulse. 01:54 Just when did this probe become a "He," professor? 01:57 TARS is the obvious candidate. 02:00 I've already told him what to look for. 02:02 I'd need the old optical transmitter off KIPP, Cooper. 02:05 You'd do this for us? 02:06 Before you get all teary, remember that as a robot I have to do anything you say. 02:11 Your cue light's broken. 02:13 I'm not joking. 02:17 I'll need TARS to remove and adapt some components from KIPP. 02:20 I don't want to disturb his archival functions. 02:23 I'll supervise. 02:24 All right. 02:26 Dr. Mann, we need to find three secure sites. One for Brand's lab, two for habitat. 02:31 Once those modules have landed, you don't want to move them. 02:33 I can take you to the probe sites, but I don't think... 02:36 ...these conditions will hold. I think we should wait. 02:39 CASE is headed down with the rest of the distillery equipment. 02:42 I'd really like to secure those sites by nightfall. 02:46 Well, these squalls do usually blow over. 02:50 Okay, then. 02:51 - You'll need a long-range transmitter. - Got it. 02:54 - Are you charged? - Yeah. 02:56 Follow me. 02:58 TARS, 72 hours, yeah? 03:00 Roger that, Cooper. 03:07 Brand told me why you feel you have to go back. 03:12 But I'd be remiss if I didn't at least mention... 03:15 ...that a mission such as ours could certainly use an extra engineer. 03:21 You better slow down, turbo. Safety first, CASE, remember. 03:26 Safety first, Cooper. 03:29 I have to tell you, Dr. Mann, I'm honored to be a part of this. 03:33 But once we set up base camp and secure those modules, my work's done here. 03:38 I'm going home. 03:47 You have attachments. But even without a family... 03:51 ...I can promise you that that yearning to be with other people is powerful. 03:57 That emotion is at the foundation... 04:01 ...of what makes us human. It's not to be taken lightly. 04:12 - How long have you had that cough? - A while. 04:25 Mom lets me play in here. 04:29 I don't touch your stuff.
