Original subtitles

He gave the order to take us out

and kill us all, men and women alike.

We had no choice.

We call them Advanced Cultivars.

Why did we develop them

in the first place?

Some of the early-pattern ACs

came with the advance military missions

to test survivability.

We were looking for genetic patterns

to help us survive.

What do you want from me, Rudi?

To tell you face to face

that some day I shall destroy you.

It has been suggested you be given

a place on General Council.

Second chance.

That's what this place is all about.

That's Berger for you.

If he were straightforward,

he wouldn't be such a problem.

I consider myself at war

with your people, but not with you.

If you ever want to speak to me, send up

a flare from beyond the perimeter.

It'll be seen.

What did Rudi

speak to you about?

The day they thought

they were all going to die.

We all thought we were going to die.

My children did die.

Look!

What do you want?

Don't take another step.

- I'm going in.

- OK.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

I said don't move.

...And they've been kind enough

to confirm the rumours

that were flying around Forthaven.

Beyond the city walls, alive and well,

are a bunch of supermen.

They're called the Advanced Cultivars

and apparently they're angry...

very angry.

So thanks for that, Mr President.

Guess we'll all be sleeping

with the light...

Expeditionaries called it in around dawn.

Seems like he must have been caught

out there when a whiteout hit.

Poor bastard.

Concussion, mild head trauma.

If he's wounded, shouldn't he be

in the medical centre?

Let's just say, at this stage,

it's wise to take precautions.

Are you not going to let him

return to the AC camp?

When the time is right, of course.

I think the ACs know

that they're only alive

because Mitchell

disobeyed Council orders.

They're not going to forget that.

And until I'm sure his presence

in this city is an accident...

I'll make sure PAS keeps

an eye on him.

Thank you, Cass.

Did you go to bed or did you spend

the whole night working?

No, of course I went to bed.

Thanks for your concern though.

In an ideal world, you know,

there'd be a sunflower growing in this.

You probably don't remember,

but you used to love them

when you were little.

Before you go out, there's something

I've been meaning to give you.

I, um...

...I had this made for you when I arrived.

It's, um...

It was the first time I'd stepped onto

this planet, the first rock I picked up.

It's stupid, really, but, um...

I saved it for when you arrived.

OK.

Like I said, it's stupid, really.

Well, then, good luck with the work.

Figured you might be hungry.

Yeah, not exactly gourmet dining,

but it'll do the job.

We're low on seed samples.

We've used thousands,

but our success rate

is still only in double figures.

And when we run out, we can't go back

for more - gone forever.

So many species lost.

I've been running modifications on them,

seeing if I can find a way to...

I just don't understand how

some seem to flourish, but most fail.

As with the ACs.

Seemingly able to reproduce

despite the sterility programme,

yet we struggle.

Yup. Only one reported pregnancy

in four months - Marie Doherty.

I'm continuing to perform tests

on the samples we took from the AC baby

but I need more data.

The AC in the secure centre?

You want to run tests on him as well?

Yes.

Richard, they're not toys

for us to play with.

Agreed. And I don't want to do anything

to cause him harm or discomfort,

but DNA samples from a grown male

would be very useful.

We're trying to ensure

the future of our race,

and that has to come

above everything else.

Richard, are you OK?

I'm fine.

Are you injured?

Damn it!

We've got a runaway.

AC has escaped,

heading into the belly of the transporter.

PAS are making sure

all the exits are sealed.

I need you to find him, Cass,

as fast as you can,

but approach with caution,

d'you hear me?

I'll do my best.

It's like a maze down here.

Are you OK?

Have you been in an accident?

I don't know.

Come on, then.

Let's get you cleaned up.

It's OK. Don't worry.

Right. There we are.

Now, stand still, you.

- No!

- It's just water.

You're one of them, aren't you?

An AC.

Do you have a name?

Elijah.

That's a nice name, that.

Now, you stop squirming about.

I had to do this all the time

for my kids before...

Well, we were unlucky.

No! Please...no!

Not sleep, please.

Get up, please.

Please not sleep. Please.

Please, get up.

Please! Please!

Whoa! Whoa! Slow down.

Where are you going?

More chance of finding him

if we spread out.

Look, you didn't see

the size of this fella.

It's not my fault if you can't keep up.

Sure, I know, but I'd just be less worried

if you were behind me.

- Do you hear that?

Need a medic, fast as you can.

Sluice room, corridor 5,

lower transporter.

She's still breathing.

It's not his fault. He was just scared.

Try not to talk, please.

An exit door's been found damaged

and open on the lower south section.

So he's out there

on the loose in Forthaven.

You knew he was a danger. That's why

you had him put in the secure centre.

I knew he had a history of aggressive

behaviour, but nothing like this.

A call's gone out to all

PAS officers for a city-wide search.

Public opinion about the ACs

is still confused.

We just don't want to cause a panic.

I would say an aggressive AC

and a badly wounded woman

is every reason to panic.

Which is why we want to bring him

in quickly and quietly, minimum force.

Will she be all right? The cleaner?

We don't know. Medical staff

are doing everything they can.

Let's just focus on the job.

Be careful out there. Understand?

What do you think?

Not going to win any art awards,

that's for sure.

It's a landing memorial.

You can see it from here, look.

Incredible job, people, losing an AC.

That's quite an achievement.

You picked him up this morning.

Did he say anything to you?

Anything at all?

We didn't get a chance to have a good

old chitchat, unless he was faking it.

Let's hope not.

Just give me the nod,

I'll have my team out scouring the city.

We live and breathe this sort of thing.

We'll have the AC bagged and tagged

by the end of the day.

It's not a hunting party.

We're to bring him in alive.

He's attacked once. Wouldn't be

surprised if he does it again.

You know how it works. The fence

and beyond - that's your watch.

Everything inside is PAS.

That worries me even more.

We can deal with it.

Look, I'm not suggesting we run round

the streets guns a-blazing.

Although I have a feeling

you might quite enjoy that.

At least warn the public.

Causing panic isn't an answer.

So it's softly-softly all the way?

I'm not sanctioning

an execution out there.

You were the one who sent them

away from the city.

You ordered Mitchell to wipe them out.

I'm also the one who offered to help

them, should they choose to accept it.

Which just tells me

that you don't understand them anymore.

Mitchell spared the ACs

because he took pity on them.

They respected Mitchell for who he was.

But you, me, Forthaven...

they despise us.

We're the enemy.

For all we know, this is war.

While we appreciate your offer of help,

this isn't your jurisdiction.

It's Stella's call.

It's still a PAS operation.

We'll do it their way.

I'm Julius Berger,

member of the General Council.

I just really wanted to stop by

and say personally how sorry I am,

how sorry we all are.

You can be assured that I will not rest

until this perpetrator

is brought to justice.

but we do need your help.

You can tell the people

what this animal did to you.

Warn them of the dangers

so when he's finally caught,

he can never do harm

to anyone ever again.

No.

I don't think you fully understand

this situation.

This thing that attacked you,

it's not the only one.

I know what it is you want me to do...

...but I know what I saw.

He didn't mean to do it.

He was scared.

Like a child.

Stupid woman.

You don't know anything.

At all.

You know,

there's this great old Earth custom

of knocking on the door

before coming in.

- You should have locked it, then.

- Hmm. Good point.

Maybe them streets

aren't safe anymore.

- I'm Lily, I'm...

- Stella Isen's daughter.

Yeah, I've seen you about.

I'm sure my mother's got a law

against noise pollution.

Your ma's all right. A fine woman.

For a PAS scumbag, you know.

- This was sitting outside for you.

- What is it?

See you, then.

This is Radio Free Carpathia...

...and I'm the idiot

who's come into some knowledge.

Not for my eyes

and definitely not for your ears.

But I've got to ask myself,

if I was you folks out there,

would I want to hear about this?

And unfortunately the answer is yes.

OK, so...

You know those Advanced Cultivars?

The mythical men they've kept secret

from us for such a long time?

It would seem one of them

was in Forthaven yesterday.

And while he was here, he attacked

and injured some poor woman.

But here's the kicker.

They didn't manage to catch him.

He's on the loose

right here, right now.

Look, you know me.

I like to play a few tunes, have a laugh.

I don't want to cause any trouble.

So I'll just say this. Watch your backs.

Oh, and if you see him...run.

Run like hell.

How the hell did he get hold of

that information?

Well, someone in your department

obviously leaked it.

I'll find out who.

- This is not good.

- I know.

I've been to the medicentre.

Thankfully it seems that Sarah's

going to make a complete recovery.

For that, at least, we can be grateful.

- You blame yourself, don't you?

- Of course.

If we don't find Elijah soon,

if we're not seen to be doing something,

then we'll have lost Forthaven's

trust for good.

And if that happens, we're finished.

Anything?

I just thought maybe

the drawing meant something.

Yeah.

I always feel a bit weird

looking at this.

Imagine what it must have been like

for him.

Patrick Baxter, first man

to set foot on Carpathia.

Steps out of this shuttle,

hoping to God or whoever

that the ground didn't just disappear

beneath his feet.

Fleur?

Fleur!

Ugh!

Help!

Get out of the way!

Help!

Fleur!

Hold on!

Please don't make me go back there.

Promise me.

Please.

I promise.

Wait! I don't think

you're going to need that.

I'll take my chances. What happened?

- Him.

- I can't go back there.

You don't have a choice.

Not after what you've done.

So let's not make this difficult

for both of us, yeah?

They'll make the green light go red.

What green light?

The green light was good.

He told me that I was safe

and that everything was OK.

But then the red light...

What, in the secure centre?

The one you escaped from?

No, not there.

A long time ago.

Look, I'm not going back there.

You promised.

Something's not right about this.

I've seen killers,

but they all run when the time comes.

To turn around and save someone

when they could've escaped...

What do you think happened to him?

I don't know.

That man...

The one you were talking to.

Tate.

Now I see him again,

I know I'm not safe.

I know I'm not safe at all.

Whatever we're gonna do,

we can't do it here.

We need to get inside.

Elijah.

You hurt someone.

Do you understand that?

I know.

But I not there.

You didn't do it?

Yes...

...but I not there.

You said Tate lied to you.

I wanted to be like the others.

Tate said I would be.

Said I would have to wait...

...and I could be with

my brothers and sisters again.

Every day, every night for so long...

Everything was different after that.

What did they do to him?

I don't know.

One person does.

Tate.

You've got full access to his office.

Whatever happened to him,

it'll be in there.

Not sure our president would appreciate

me rummaging about.

- He doesn't have to know.

- No, we should bring him in.

Cass, I know your history with Tate,

but we've been lied to before.

And we don't know

what they did to him

or what they'd do to him

if he was returned.

God, I hate it when you're right.

Elijah...

...I need you to trust us.

Are you going to take me back?

No, not...

Not yet.

- You promise?

- Yes. We promise.

Don't do anything stupid.

Stay by the door. If he even moves,

you get out of here. Understand?

Thank you, Cass.

Cass?

You missed the security meeting.

I was out looking for the AC.

I figured it was more important.

I appreciate your dedication.

Just doing my job.

Look, nobody said what happens

when we find the AC.

When we bring him in.

Well, as you know, certain modifications

were made to the ACs.

With Elijah, we went further,

and I'm worried that this may be

the root of his behavioural problems.

But that's something you can reverse.

On Earth maybe,

but with the resources here...

- hopefully he'll rehabilitate...

- Hopefully?

We could just set him free,

you know, send him scurrying back

to the ACs' camp.

I'd need to be sure

that he's not going to come back here

and put our people in danger.

The safety of Forthaven

has to come above all,

and that's what I need you for.

It means a lot to me.

If there's one thing rock and roll

has taught us, my friends,

it's that you can't trust the man.

But at least you can trust old Tipper here

to play you some decent tunes

- while you wrestle with your paranoia...

You could just knock, you know.

I didn't think you'd trust "the man"

enough to open it.

Well, I like to think you and me

have a...special understanding.

Well, in that case,

you won't mind telling me

where you got the information

about the AC.

I can't reveal my sources, Stella.

Vinyl!

Can't beat it.

Every scratch, every pop, every jump

becomes part of the song.

It becomes something more.

It's a bit of our heritage. You wouldn't.

Telling the truth isn't a crime.

Not yet.

And do you think that's the way

people would like to hear it?

Would you believe me if I said...

...I didn't want to tell you

for your own good?

No, I wouldn't.

Only because you asked me,

but I'm sorry, all right?

Why are you sorry?

It was Lily. It was your daughter.

We shouldn't be here. We should be

the ones hunting down the AC.

I guess someone needs to lay the pipes

to keep the water supply going.

Yeah, I agree, someone does.

But this is donkey work.

This is beneath us.

Something has to change around here.

Yeah.

Mitchell wouldn't have stood for this.

Jack?

What now?

What is it?

Take a look.

Elijah, have you ever

hurt anyone before?

The others understand me.

Rudi makes sure they do,

makes sure I'm safe.

Makes sure they're safe from me.

All right?

Got it.

They experimented on him.

On the neural pathways

that lead to the amygdala.

You're mistaking me

for someone who speaks Science.

It's an area

of the brain's temporal lobe.

It affects the learning and processing

of responses to danger, to fear.

The perfect worker

for an unstable planet.

But in day-to-day life,

unable to control his reactions.

They could never have known

what would happen to him.

- Even so, Cass.

- I know, but I don't like lying to Tate.

And it isn't our job

to decide these things.

Will he be safe if we bring him in?

I can't promise that, Fleur.

Elijah said Rudi knew how to control him.

If I could get him back there...

I'm sure the ACs will be delighted

to see me strolling into their camp.

I can contact Rudi.

You wait here with Elijah.

We have our orders.

So you'd happily walk him in,

have his blood on your hands?

I just don't like the idea

of you going out there alone.

You won't stop me.

And you'll be here when I get back.

Do you recognise this?

You stole it from me.

I know why you did it.

You wanted to hurt me

to see how I'd react, what I'd do.

But this goes beyond me, Lily -

the trouble that this leak could cause.

You have no idea what it was like,

being left behind.

Well, then, please will you tell me

something about yourself?

The night of my fifth birthday,

I had this terrible nightmare.

Dad spent the whole night up with me.

He made me talk it through.

He made me understand that...

it was all in my head,

that it couldn't hurt me.

And you'll never know

what that nightmare was.

It's too late.

I think you're right, Lily.

I think it is too late.

I can't do this anymore.

I think it's better that you find

somewhere else to stay.

For now.

You're right. Maybe it would be best

if I found somewhere else.

Is there some reason I wasn't informed

of a private security meeting?

Yes. It was private,

and it didn't concern you.

Oh, I like to think everything

in Forthaven is my concern.

I could be of use to you

if you let me, Richard.

You're part of the Council, Julius.

It doesn't mean

you need to see all and hear all.

Nevertheless, I do my part.

Having a small candle-lit vigil

for poor injured woman, Sarah,

in the hopes that some element of prayer

might aid in her recovery.

Well, I'll put my faith

in the skills of our medical staff.

Look, even if my beliefs are misplaced,

what do I lose by having faith?

Nothing.

It brings me peace, it gives me hope

that when I slide into the darkness

there will be light at the end.

Tell me, President Tate...

...what do you have to look forward to?

Dinner.

What's it like?

Being you?

You know, an AC?

It's just hard for people here

to understand your lot.

How similar we are, or not.

I mean...

You know, you feel like us, right?

- You laugh, cry, fall in love.

- Love.

Yeah... You know,

it's like when... It's...

Oh, well done, Cass

You know, it's like when a boy

meets a girl and there's this...feeling.

You're messing with me, ain't ya?

I think we're not so different.

We both laugh...

cry...

...love.

Sounds like there's a special someone

out there for you.

Another AC back at your camp?

She's very beautiful.

Strong.

Her eyes are like...stars.

Does she feel the same way?

I don't know. I've never spoken to her.

No, sorry, I don't mean...

It's just...

You know, both of us standing up here

worrying about whether

that special girl likes us or not.

- Easy, big guy, it's just a storm.

I said easy.

Daddy!

Please.

If you're there, say something.

Please.

Oof! Ooh!

You're awake.

Yes, I am. Thank you.

I hurt you.

It's getting worse all the time.

What if you're back home,

amongst your own people, though?

Maybe it's best if I'm kept away

from everyone.

So you'd come in with me, right now?

I trust you.

Cass!

- I'm OK.

- What happened?

Oh, you know, boys' night out,

bit of rough and tumble.

You'll be safe now.

Do you know what was done to him?

Yeah, I know.

That's why he shouldn't be here now.

The sooner I can take him back...

They're not just gonna let us

walk out of here with him.

They switch shifts

on the guard posts in an hour.

- If we time it right...

- They'll spot you a mile off.

You need someone to delay them,

a distraction.

Fleur, Elijah's getting worse.

He even says so himself.

All the more reason

for us to get him out of here.

Cass.

Yeah.

You really think you can keep him

under control?

What if he stumbles back in here again,

hurts someone else?

He won't.

Maybe you don't understand him

as well as you think.

He's one of my people.

He doesn't need control.

He needs space, to be left alone.

I'll make sure everything's set.

You wait for me to return.

I've been out there, Richard. It's not

pretty - people are losing faith in you.

As is their right.

You need your fellow Council members

to put on a public show of support.

I'm willing to do that,

to stand up, to be counted,

to say that I have

absolute trust in you.

No.

Richard, you're drowning.

I'm offering you my hand.

Are you so stubborn

that you would turn it down?

I know you, Julius.

You wouldn't help a drowning man

unless there was

something in it for you.

The way I see it...

Sorry, the way the people see it,

your PAS squads have singularly failed

to track down and capture

this dangerous creature.

Whether you want my help or not,

I don't think you have a choice.

The AC isn't on the loose.

We've had him under lockdown

out there since morning.

We're getting set to bring him in.

We have to make sure

nothing interferes with the task in hand.

I'm afraid your grandstanding

will have to wait for another day.

Do you really think you can keep

their support, after all of this?

It does cast a shadow

over the whole AC programme,

raises questions about those involved.

And those who gave the go-ahead

to the programme at the time.

Wouldn't look too good for you either.

You did the right thing

coming to see me.

It doesn't feel like it.

Then why did you?

Elijah - he's smarter than you think,

more self-aware.

He knows he's a danger

and he seems to feel he's getting worse,

more out of control.

Cass, I know this is difficult for you

and I don't blame you for looking out

for his welfare,

but I promise you

no harm will come to him.

We'll find a way to make him better,

whatever it takes.

We owe him that much,

for what was done.

She's not going to forgive me for this.

Please tell me

you're not going to bring him in alone.

Who told you?

Berger.

He has his concerns. So do I.

Take in a PAS squad to form a perimeter,

flush out Elijah, the target.

Take him down quickly and safely.

Tranq shots.

It's not a bad plan of action, so long as

you're sure your men can contain him.

It's not a normal person

we're dealing with here.

I can't risk him getting loose

in the city again.

He's a danger.

He doesn't mean to be, but...

It's your op. Your call.

If you need a second line of defence,

well, that's your call as well.

The XPs don't have authority

within the fence.

No, we don't. You do.

Look, you've got options

if you want them.

I'm sure a pair of losers like us

can put aside our differences for that.

MAN ON RADIO:

Confirm perimeter one secured.

Second perimeter in position.

No movement inside.

Confirm, tranquillisers only.

Don't screw this up, Cass.

Everything fine?

All set.

It wasn't easy, but you got

your window of opportunity.

Are you sure?

We can stay and talk,

or we can get moving.

You'll be all right, I promise.

Don't worry, I understand.

- Stay away from the window.

- What?

Just step back, cover your eyes.

No, Cass! Please, no!

No!

I'm going in.

No!

Where is he?

Cass!

They're not gonna hurt him. Tranq shots.

Come on! Come on!

- Agh!

- Elijah!

Jack!

No!

Stand down, Jack.

That's an order - stand down!

I promised him.

I know.

What happened to Rudi?

He's returned to his camp, his people.

Whether there will be repercussions

for this or not, it's too early to say.

Would you blame them...

after what we've done?

You could at least be angry with me.

I disobeyed orders,

went behind your back.

And I need people like you.

Questioning.

Refusing to accept answers

if they're not convinced.

There's no place for me here anymore.

And if I thought that were true,

I would gladly show you the door.

We do what we have to, Fleur.

To survive.

You were not authorised to open fire.

If it wasn't for me, we'd be dragging home

the dead body of a PAS officer.

I was there to support Cass.

I did what was necessary.

We're all in the same team here.

Somehow I find that difficult to believe.

I found this.

Buried deep out beyond the fence.

I think when you look at it,

you'll change your mind about how

useful the Expeditionaries really are.

See, I did bolt the door,

but some genius popped the lock off.

What's going on?

I need a place to stay.

Oh, no, no! This is Tipper Central,

not a doss house for waifs and strays.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Bloody hell! It's like kicking a kitten

in the bollocks.

Go on, then.

House rules.

Don't touch my vinyl,

don't use up all the hot water,

and don't hand me over

any more bloody official documents.

One shot, I hear. Impressive.

It was necessary.

I'm sure it was.

But, you know, it might be better for us

to play things a little more subtly

from now on.

Us?

Friends in high places, Jack.

We both know things need

to change around here,

and I very much would like you

to be a part of that.

I'll see you soon.

Elijah's body

will be returned to the AC camp

so they can bury him in their own way.

A small, useless gesture on our part.

You know, I almost envy them,

free out there.

With all we're dealing with, I rarely

get to go outside the fence these days.

Not like when we were here first.

Standing out there, eyes wide open,

a whole new planet before us.

The only time I was ever comfortable

out there, I...was with the boys.

I wanted to tell them

about the rock formations,

why they were different from Earth,

but of course all they wanted to do

was run around, play.

Richard...

Jack found something.

Out beyond the fence.

How long has that been there?

We're talking tens of thousands of years.

Are you saying

humans have been here before?

I don't know.

I don't know, but this...

...this changes everything.

I was trying to protect you.

Protect us all.

Elijah told me himself,

he was getting worse, he was a danger.

And Tate promised...

He promised he'd help him.

I never thought it would end like that.

- You lied to me.

- Yes.

I did.

Your first loyalty is always

going to be to Tate.

Even though I understand that...

...I'm never going

to trust you again, Cass.

Never.

Yes, you will.

What makes you so sure?

Because if you're ever stupid enough

to ask for my help again,

you know I'll be there to give it.

No matter what.

Fleur...

Don't talk any more, please.

the children are the future.

It's not the future I'm worried about.

It's the past.

I miss you so much.

I miss you all so much.

I know you're not real.

I know you're not my children.

Can't be.

It's OK, I...

...I don't want you to leave.

If you want, you can go and play.

Just don't leave me yet.
