Previously on Wake Up, a slingshot

0:02

story. And you had a third on the

0:04

lander, right? Shire. He lost it,

0:06

washed out before we got off Mars. Izzur,

0:09

I'm trying to help you, but you have

0:11

to let me. I'm going to recommend we

0:13

keep you here. Under observation for 24 hours.

0:16

Centrifuge activated. Wait, emergency shut

0:18

down now! I

0:21

am inside the centrifuge! I

0:24

am unsecured! Need to... You're

0:26

gonna take me, and you're gonna tell me

0:29

everything. Or I'm gonna kill

0:31

you, Doc. This is

0:33

Wake Up, a slingshot story. A

0:35

three-part podcast event from LA Times

0:37

Studios. Paid for by Bleaker Street

0:39

and Bluestone Entertainment. In support of

0:41

the film Slingshot, only in theaters

0:43

August 30th. Where...

0:55

Izzur? Where

0:58

are we? Let me go. Can't

1:01

do that, Doc. Let me out!

1:05

No! Doc,

1:08

what are you doing? Don't open the door! I

1:16

told you not to open the door.

1:19

I'm going to open the door. A

1:26

lot of aircraft failures across the Midwest is sending

1:28

shockwaves through the agricultural sector that could

1:30

ripple throughout the global food supply. Unprecedented

1:34

heatwave... Who's that? Phoebe.

1:38

How you feeling, Doc? Sorry I had to hit

1:40

you. Again. First

1:42

time getting punched in the face. I

1:45

don't know what you think's going on, or what

1:47

this... This could possibly do

1:49

about it. But you need to

1:51

stop this car. Cut me free, and we

1:53

need to get you help. Well,

1:55

that's where we're going. To get help. From

1:58

who? Bennett Shab Shire,

2:00

Ezra, I told you, he

2:03

can't help you. I think you're doctoring our

2:05

records to make it look like we have

2:07

issues in case we go sideways, like Jyn

2:09

did. My question

2:12

is, why are you assuming we will?

2:15

Is it the drugs? Some variable

2:17

you can't control? You don't know

2:19

a goddamn thing. You

2:22

clearly don't understand what we're doing. The

2:25

stakes, if we fail. That's

2:27

Apollo. Oppenheimer. Urgent

2:30

science does not allow for

2:32

perfection. You get as close as

2:34

you can and live with the difference.

2:37

I guess that makes us the difference. Sit

2:40

back, Doc. We got a ways to go. It's

3:04

time to wake up. Do

3:09

us both a favor and don't try to run, Doc. We're

3:12

in the middle of nowhere. Where

3:14

am I running to, Ezra? What are

3:16

you doing here? Uh, Mr. Shire,

3:18

my name is Ezra Keaton. I'm part of the

3:20

Odyssey Project in training for a mission to Titan.

3:23

That doesn't mean shit. How did you find me?

3:25

Doc kept tabs on you. Hello,

3:28

Ben. I wasn't gonna come

3:30

for you. I just needed

3:32

to know where you were in case

3:34

some- Come on, Hates! Next

3:37

one takes your legs. Believe me, I

3:40

can appreciate wanting to shoot the Doc, truly, but

3:42

you got us all wrong here. This was my idea. I

3:44

just want to talk. You don't like him

3:47

either? No, I

3:49

don't. He kidnapped me,

3:52

if that helps. What do you want?

3:57

Go on and sit. See

4:00

why you like it out here, Mr. Shire? It's

4:02

peaceful. It's

4:04

just Ben. Need to know the

4:06

first damn thing about me. Yeah,

4:09

well, the project is seen to that. They

4:11

erased you from their records, so. I

4:14

was hoping you could help by telling me

4:16

about Mars. About Leslie

4:18

Foster, what really happened? You're

4:21

taking the drug already, aren't you? A

4:24

hibernation? We are, conditioning ourselves for the

4:26

trip. I

4:28

never knew if that's what caused Foster to snap. Or

4:32

me, I guess. But after

4:34

we started using it, there was a

4:37

darkness in me. It

4:39

wasn't there before. Hear

4:42

things. Think about

4:44

hurting people. Myself.

4:47

You were traumatized. I

4:49

told him that he didn't want

4:51

to hear. I started to think

4:53

they might... I didn't feel

4:56

safe. So I came out here. I

4:59

don't trust them, and I

5:01

don't trust myself. If

5:03

I do something, if something happens out

5:05

here, it just happens to me.

5:09

Ben, do you mind if I make a recording of what you're

5:11

saying? Go on if you want. What

5:16

happened to Leslie Foster? Storm

5:24

blown up. Foster was... She...

5:33

Hawks, do you have eyes? Negative.

5:36

Shire, what are we doing out here? Captain

5:39

Foster, you coffee? Captain

5:41

Foster, where are you? Can't

5:44

even see the goddamn safety line. We can't

5:46

stay out. We're gonna get lost in this

5:48

shit too. We have to find the captain.

5:51

She's fucking crazy, Shire. She wants to run off in the

5:53

middle of the dust storm on Mars. What are we supposed

5:55

to do about it? Let her go. I'm

5:57

not going back without her. I'm not doing this.

5:59

I'll get on the scope inside. Maybe I can

6:02

spot it. Oh, we have to have

6:04

to I see her I've

6:06

got her That's

6:12

a foster captain we

6:14

have to get inside Try

6:21

her what is it? I

6:36

Remember dragging foster to the lender trying

6:39

to get her helmet on same time but

6:43

she was gone and they

6:46

lied about it him

6:49

Hawks All of

6:51

them. You're both delusional He's

6:54

insane and you're listening to him

7:00

That man is a destroyer He

7:04

needs to be stopped As

7:14

a it's Phoebe again,

7:17

she's worried about you Understand

7:20

why you feel the need to do something but you

7:24

You and I both know you're confused. You're

7:26

hurting because of what happened

7:28

to Jin Let

7:31

me help you Is

7:43

a Put the

7:45

tire iron down. What did you do

7:47

to Shire? Nothing stop

7:49

crying What about Jin? Foster

7:52

me I told you you

7:54

were gonna tell me everything or I was gonna kill you

7:57

doc. So so yeah Are

8:00

you here on the side of the road? What

8:04

would it prove is right? What

8:06

could it possibly solve? Stop

8:09

stop, please last chance It

8:13

doesn't work the hibernation drug.

8:16

No not perfectly In

8:19

a certain person and I don't

8:21

know why it it causes

8:23

psychosis suicidal ideation

8:25

I Think it

8:27

may have something to do with the slingshot

8:29

the extreme physical trauma of the maneuver causing

8:31

inflammation Increasing the

8:33

production of free radicals that can damage

8:36

DNA, but that it's

8:38

only a theory So

8:40

this is everyone It happens

8:42

to everyone who trains for Titan. No not

8:45

Yet at least which just makes

8:47

it harder to understand We

8:51

have to reach Titan Ezra Go

8:55

beyond This is about

8:57

saving our species Humanity

8:59

can't wait on perfection so

9:03

If we die then it's for the

9:05

greater good. Is there a way to stop it?

9:08

If I if I withdraw from the project

9:11

Stop taking the drugs You

9:14

saw Shire He's been

9:16

out for years It

9:19

doesn't work that way just

9:22

Get in the car doc Go

9:26

on in doc Go

9:36

on in doc What

9:40

are you going to tell him? Hey,

9:44

I'm trying to call you I'm really

9:47

sorry about before I thought we

9:49

oh Dr.

9:52

Sartre. Hi Are

9:54

you okay? Where have you been? What

9:59

are we said Phoebe? You too, Doc.

10:03

Want a beer? God, yes. What's

10:06

going on? What

10:08

is that? Press play. I

10:32

remember dragging Foster to the lander, trying

10:35

to get her helmet on at the same time.

10:39

But she was gone, and

10:42

they lied about it. Him,

10:45

Hawks, all of them. Sarge's

10:49

changing our medical records to make it look like we're

10:51

already sick, in case we have a reaction to the

10:53

hibernation drug. And then he can say we were depressed

10:55

or unstable when we snap. Jyn

10:58

unbuckled that harness, but those drugs made her do

11:00

it, Phoebe. I'm going to the press.

11:03

I need your help. You said

11:05

Titan can't wait, Doc. I get why. And

11:08

I know there are no guarantees in this

11:10

job, but it is not just up to

11:12

you if we live or die. People

11:14

deserve to know so they can decide

11:16

for themselves. All

11:20

recordings deleted. Phoebe,

11:22

what did you just do? What

11:24

did you just do? What

11:26

did you do? What I had to.

11:31

We can't leave anything to chance. His

11:33

whole fucking method is chance! That's not

11:36

how we see it. Who

11:39

the fuck is we, Phoebe? The

11:41

project, Ezra. No. No.

11:45

No! Ezra!

11:48

Stop! Phoebe, what are

11:50

you doing with the gun? Ezra, I don't want to shoot you.

11:55

Don't be gentle. You're doing

11:57

this. This

12:00

is detective. I'm contacting

12:02

authority. I'm

12:31

going to the ground if we don't shoot! Go!

12:33

Now! Suspect

12:40

down. We need an ambulance. He's

12:44

gone. We

12:50

are all obviously very upset. As

12:53

some of you, I think, know Ezra

12:55

and I are... We've

12:58

been in a... I'm

13:02

sorry. It's all right. Look,

13:06

what happened with Ezra was a tragedy. But

13:09

we have a mission, and we're not going

13:11

to be deterred. It's stressful.

13:14

It's more stressful than I think anyone

13:16

who isn't part of these crews could

13:18

ever understand. I

13:21

just wish I could have helped him. All

13:23

we can do is remember and move forward.

13:33

I hate those fucking dog and pony shows. Let's just

13:35

get back to work. If you

13:37

hadn't turned on the goddamn centrifuge when Ezra was

13:39

inside, none of this would have happened. You

13:42

don't know shit. I was

13:44

just trying to solve the problem. That's not your

13:46

job. It's mine. She

13:48

doesn't need your help, Paul. We all

13:50

need to be on our best behavior. We

13:54

are all in our best behavior. Paul.

13:58

Carrie. John. are emerging

14:00

from the hibernation inside the

14:03

Odyssey Project simulation facility. Please

14:06

be careful. The drugs used

14:08

to induce hibernation can cause

14:11

mild side effects, including confusion,

14:13

nausea, dizziness, and disorientation. Paul,

14:16

can you hear me? It's October

14:19

21st. You've been in Torpor for two

14:21

weeks. Carrie, follow

14:25

the light. Does this ever get any easier?

14:28

You have no idea, kid. Wake

14:32

up. Is anyone

14:34

hearing that? Wake

14:37

up. What? Ezra? You

14:40

don't hear that? Wake

14:43

up, Cap. This

14:51

has been Wake Up, a slingshot
