- Is that a wormhole? - It appeared 48 years ago. And it leads where? Another galaxy. A wormhole's not a naturally occurring phenomenon. Someone placed it there.

That wormhole lets us travel to other stars. It came along right as we needed it. They've put potentially habitable worlds right within our reach. Twelve, in fact, from our initial probes. - You sent probes into that? - Mm-hm. We sent people into it. Ten years ago. The Lazarus missions. Twelve possible worlds... twelve Ranger launches carrying... the bravest humans ever to live... led by the remarkable Dr. Mann. Each person's landing pod had enough life support for two years. But they could use hibernation to stretch that... making observations on organics over a decade or more. Their mission was to assess their world, and if it showed potential... then they could send out a signal, bed down for the long nap, wait to be rescued. And what if the world didn't show promise? Hence the bravery.

Nice and easy, Mr. Cooper. Remember, you're no spring chicken anymore. Actually, you are 124 years old.

Murph, the fire's out! Come on! Even if you communicate it here, she won't understand its significance for years.

Don't you know who we are, Coop? No, professor, I don't. You know my father, Professor Brand.

What sort of anomaly? I hesitate to term it supernatural, but it definitely wasn't scientific. You're going to have to be specific, Mr. Cooper. Right now. It was gravity.

Um, what sort of gravitational anomaly? Where was this? Now, I'm real happy that you're excited about gravity, bud... but you're not getting any answers from us until I get assurances. - Assurances? - Yeah. Like, that we're getting out of here. And I don't mean in the trunk of some car.

Mostly small distortions to our instruments in the upper atmosphere. In fact, I believe you encountered one yourself.

We're not meant to save the world. We're meant to leave it. Rangers. The last components of our one versatile ship in orbit, the Endurance. Our final expedition. You sent people out there looking for a new home? The Lazarus missions. - Oh, that sounds cheerful. - Lazarus came back from the dead. Sure, but he had to die in the first place. There's not a planet in our solar system that could sustain life... and the nearest star's over a thousand years away. That doesn't even qualify as futile. Where'd you send them? Cooper... I can't tell you anymore unless you agree... to pilot this craft. - You're the best pilot we ever had. - I barely left the stratosphere. This team never left the simulator. We need a pilot, and this is the mission that you were trained for. Without even knowing it? An hour ago, you didn't even know I was alive. You were going anyway. We had no choice. But something sent you here.

They're not "beings." They're us. What I've been doing for Murph, they're doing for me. For all of us. Cooper, people couldn't build this. No. No, not yet. But one day. Not you and me. But people. A civilization that's evolved past the four dimensions we know. What happens now?

Did it work? I think it might have. How do you know? Because the bulk beings are closing the tesseract. Don't you get it yet, TARS?
