“Freddo? You okay?” asks Jim Lovell, as they prepare to exit the Lunar Module for the last time.
“I’m, uh, I’m freezing,” replies Haise.
“Can you hold out just a little longer?” says Lovell.
“As long as I have to,” says Haise.
“Aw, come on,” says Lovell, hugging Haise.
“Damn,” says Haise.
“It won’t be long. Just a little while longer, Freddo,” says Lovell.
“Yeah,” replies Haise.
“Just a little while longer. We’re gonna hit that water in the South Pacific, open up that hatch. It’s eighty degrees out there,” says Lovell.
“Eighty degrees,” repeats Haise, shivering.
“You are a mess,” says Lovell.
“Yeah,” says Haise. And they leave the Lunar Module.
On the radio, Ken Mattingly is calling.
“Odyssey, Houston,” says Mattingly. “How we doing, guys? We’re closing in on Lunar Module jettison. As you know, that is time-critical. We should be making our move into the Command Module. Let’s get the hatch buttoned up. And, when you get a chance, let us know how you’re doing.”

Minute 135: The End

GUEST: NASA ENGINEER STUART MCCLUNG
Jim Lovell, narrating from the present day, talks about how Jack Swigert ran for Congress from the state of Colorado, “but he died of cancer before he was able to take office.”
On board the Iwo Jima, the Apollo 13 crew walks among the applauding Navy crew.
The Mission Control team applauds and smokes cigars. Ken Mattingly is in the center of the support team.
Lovell narrates: “Ken Mattingly orbited the Moon as Command Module Pilot of Apollo 16, and flew the space shuttle, having never gotten the measles. Gene Kranz retired as director of flight operations just not long ago. And many other members of Mission Control have gone onto other things, but some are still there.”
The Captain of the Iwo Jima salutes Jim Lovell. Lovell returns the salute, and shakes the Captain’s hand.
Lovell narrates: “And as for me, the seven extraordinary days of Apollo 13 were my last in space.”
The Apollo 13 crew bows its head in prayer along with the crew of the Iwo Jima.
Lovell narrates: “I watched other men walk on the Moon and return safely, all from the confines of Mission Control and our house in Houston. I sometimes catch myself looking up at the Moon, remembering the changes of fortune in our long voyage, thinking of the thousands of people who worked to bring the three of us home. I look up at the Moon, and wonder: when will we be going back, and who will that be?”

Marilyn and the Lovell family are elated seeing the crew on television.
The crew of the Iwo Jima applauds. Swigert and Haise wave at the crew.
Lovell narrates: “Our mission was called a successful failure, in that we returned safely, but never made it to the Moon.”
A “Welcome Back” sign appears on the Mission Control monitor, as Mission Control applauds.
The crew of Apollo 13 walks past a cheering Iwo Jima crew.
Lovell narrates: “In the following months, it was determined that a damaged coil built inside the oxygen tank sparked during our cryo stir and caused the explosion that crippled the Odyssey. It was a minor defect that occurred two years before I was even named the flight’s commander. Fred Haise was going back to the Moon on Apollo 18, but his mission was canceled because of the budget cuts, he never flew in space again. Nor did Jack Swigert. Who left the astronaut corps and was elected to Congress from the state of Colorado.”
