Interstellar endurance ranger2/18/2024 Lois comes onscreen and takes him from Tom. Next, an adult Tom shows Cooper a newborn baby boy named Jesse. Tom comes onscreen and reports finishing second in school, and that he met a girl he likes named Lois. Meanwhile, Cooper goes into another compartment and retrieves the years of logged video messages from his family. He learned much about gravity from Gargantua, but was unable to get anything through to Professor Brand. He says that he did, several times, but that once he stopped believing that they were coming back, he decided not to sleep his life away. Brand asks Romilly why he didn’t hibernate. CASE reports that they’ve been gone for the equivalent of 23 years, 4 months, and 8 days. They return to the Endurance, where they’re greeted by a much older Romilly, looking fragile and time-worn. They fly along the side of the wave and clear its crest just in time. He reports that the engines need another minute to drain, but Cooper blows the air out of the cabin through the main thrusters to clear them and get the Ranger moving. The “they” that gave them the wormhole may be using gravity to communicate from the future, but that’s because they’re unique beings of a higher dimension.ĬASE notifies Cooper and Brand that another wave is approaching. The only thing that can move back across time is gravity. Brand says that time can speed up and slow down, but not run backward. Cooper vents about the years they’ll lose back on Earth and asks if there’s any way to go back in time to regain them, perhaps via a black hole. The data they received from her was just her initial signal echoing endlessly-a false hope. Judging by the wreckage, Miller’s ship was likely hit by a wave not long after she arrived, which given the time slippage means that she arrived only a little over an hour ago and probably died only minutes ago. She says she was thinking about the mission while he was just thinking about getting home. He retorts that she should’ve listened and left Miller’s data. Cooper screams in anger.īrand begins shouting that Cooper and the others should’ve left her behind. When they land in shallow water again, Cooper extends the Ranger’s legs and tries to start the engines, but CASE reports that they’re water logged and need to drain for 45-60 minutes. They then tumble over the edge and fly down the other side. The wave picks them up and slowly drags them upward toward its peak. Water rushes into the Ranger, flooding the engines. Brand screams as Cooper seals the outer door. Doyle lets Brand and CASE get in first, but as he’s about to board as well, he’s overtaken by water and washed away. Brand shouts for them to leave her behind, but CASE reaches her, lifts the wreckage from her body, and carries her back to the Ranger. CASE shifts into a wheel-like structure and rolls after her. She finds it in the wreckage of Miller’s ship, but slips and gets stuck underneath it as she attempts to lift it. He orders everyone back to the Ranger, but Brand refuses to leave without the data. The ones toward which Brand is moving are heading away from them, but Cooper sees out the back of the Ranger that another wave towers over them, inconceivably high and minutes from obliterating them. Cooper, however, realizes suddenly that what they see in the distance aren’t mountains at all: they’re colossal, kilometer-high waves. Brand takes off looking for the rest of her wreckage in the direction of the far-off mountains. It’s in pieces, and Miller is nowhere to be found. CASE extends two mechanical arms and retrieves the beacon from the water. Brand and Doyle can’t find Miller or her beacon. They notice that gravity is 130% that of Earth’s. A clock begins ticking gently within the scene’s music.īrand, Doyle, and CASE step out into the knee-high water and head for Miller’s beacon about 200 meters away. He urges the others out, reminding them that Earth experiences 7 years for every hour they do. They lock on to Miller’s signal beacon and spiral down toward its location, descending faster and lower until Cooper suddenly engages the thrusters and lands the Ranger in what amounts to a few feet of water stretching as far as the eye can see. They fly below the cloud line and see water in all directions below them. CASE and the others are wary, but Cooper is determined. Cooper steers the Ranger through the planet’s atmosphere, using the vehicle’s aerodynamics to avoid engaging the counter-thrusters, which would waste fuel and slow their entry.
