Original subtitles

We call them Advanced Cultivars.

Jack's talking all kinds of rubbish

about you ordering their execution.

It's true. I ordered Mitchell

to take the ACs out and kill them.

You were not authorised to open fire.

I know you, Julius.

You wouldn't help a drowning man

unless there was something in it for you.

We both know things need to change

around here

and I very much would like you

to be a part of that.

You're forbidding me

from searching for my daughter?

Let the rescue party do its job.

Our children were dying from C23.

We faced extinction. I lost both my boys.

There's still a lot about this place

you don't know.

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, but this changes everything.

The knight moves two in one direction,

one in the other, like an L.

The only piece that can jump the others.

Come in.

Come on.

Well...?

The jawbone definitely belonged

to some kind of primate.

I hate to rain on your parade, Mrs Down,

but there were fossil specimens

from Earth on the last transporter.

Well, if it is from here,

if it is hominid,

then it makes every other

scientific discovery known to man

seem pretty small.

Listen, Stella...

What is it, Richard? You can tell me.

I'm only going to tell you

what I know to be true.

I won't give you explanations

or rationales, because I don't have any.

The one thing I will say

is that I don't believe in ghosts

and I know I'm not going insane.

You going to tell me what it is?

My children are here.

- Richard...

- Here, Stella.

It's not a hallucination.

I felt their presence at first, then...

They're here with me.

- If anyone else had told me that...

- Exactly.

It's me.

And I'm not going crazy.

Does your mum know you're here?

Yeah. Does yours?

You just doing it to annoy her?

Cos that's your job, right?

My job's rescuing damsels

in distress, remember?

It's your round.

Beer for me and...orange squash

for the ladies!

Any of them give you any trouble,

you let me know. I'll break some jaws!

Your mum know you're here?

You got whisky?

Of course. Scotch or Irish?

Scotch.

Don't know if you're new

off the transporter, son,

but whisky, like most things connected

to instant gratification,

is not seen as a resource priority.

"Resource priority"!

What kind of talk is that?

- President Tate's.

- Who?

- Tate.

- Never heard of him.

Where're you from?

You ever been up the coast, son?

It's in the closed zone. Radioactive.

Don't believe everything they tell you.

Man needs the ocean.

It's my home.

Yeah...

I like to think of the highway as my home.

Roll down the window,

let the wind blow my hair...

Ugh! You got bigger glasses?

I'll need five more.

- Where's your card?

- Card?

Got a live one here!

I could still kick your arse.

Whoa!

I need to see your red card

or some kind of ID.

My name is Pak.

And I shall pay old-style.

Come on, pretty. Take the lot.

And get me a decent whisky.

That makes your eyes sparkle.

Give the gimmer a drink.

Oi!

Ah, perimeter rules.

Just there to be broken when you're 14.

When I was 14 I was a volunteer

in the Construction Brigade.

Yeah, you're a freak, though.

Talking normal 14.

It was brilliant,

everybody working together,

and at night we used to sit out around

the fire and people got guitars out.

Yeah? You sing Kumbaya?

Don't take the piss.

I was building for the future.

Unit to car 9 1.

Kicking off in the bar.

What's the betting the XPs are involved?

Never even seen this planet!

Cowering down here in this hole.

Come on! Come and see for yourselves.

Excuse me! Excuse me!

My money's on the old boy!

We all know PAS officers can't run!

Mine.

OK, mister, you need to show us

some ID and come with us.

What is it?

Diamonds.

What's this joker doing

throwing diamonds around like peanuts?

Come on.

Come and see! Come and see your planet!

He had dozens of them.

Well, maybe he knocked over a Tiffany's

before he jumped the transporter.

No, he found them right here,

on Carpathia.

Is that possible?

Well, we've no knowledge of any

diamond deposits so it's unlikely.

But I'd rather be out looking

for sparklers than a bunch of old bones.

You miss out in the beginning,

you end up working the mine,

not owning it.

Keep this strictly between us for now.

No need telling Stella Isen.

Remember - knowledge is power.

Yeah, well, I think knowledge

is overrated, actually.

This is power.

Not yet.

Fun's over.

Just beginning.

OK, name?

Wee Willie Winkie.

Try again.

Used to call me Pak.

Gotta come with us now, Pak.

Bit of explaining to do with regards

to those diamonds, your lack of ID,

and generally being a pain in the arse.

You come with me.

Why should we do that?

I'll show you where the diamonds are.

Or we take you in, chuck you in the drunk

tank and make you show us in the morning.

Stop right now!

They never checked

their guns in last night,

and we don't know where they are.

What do you mean, you don't know?

Has anyone seen Cass and Fleur

this morning?

Whoa! Whoa! Where's the fire?

Two of my officers have gone missing.

Missing?

Failed to report for duty.

Last seen chasing a drunk from a bar.

Ah, Mr Diamonds.

Jack was all a-glitter about him.

Yeah, I'm going to the bar.

Say hello to your daughter.

There was a fight in here last night.

That's right.

Two of my officers were present.

The man who started the fight had no ID.

He said his name was Pak.

Didn't start it, really. It just started.

- Did he talk to anyone?

- XPs, mainly.

And him a bit. The guy from last night?

Yeah, he was a blast.

Claimed he was from the ocean.

The ocean?

Said it was his home.

- Maybe he's an AC.

- He was far too old to be an AC.

Is that it, then? Interrogation over?

Two people are missing, Lily.

Is there anything else you remember?

He was pretty good with his fists.

I'd say he'd seen a few bar fights

in his day.

No bar cards or anything.

Oh, and he had a tattoo.

What kind of tattoo?

The insignia of the first XPs

and the date of the first human landing.

Then there's the name.

- Pak.

- Short for Patrick.

Maybe it's the Patrick

who first landed on Carpathia.

The Patrick Baxter who went crazy

and murdered his commanding officer.

Except that, after that,

he took off in a craft

he knew Carpathia's energy fields

would quickly bring down.

Maybe he survived.

There were reports of a fireball.

Well, nobody ever did a proper search.

It was a fireball.

Well, he could have survived,

got out somehow.

For 11 years, alone?

Well, now we know

he wasn't necessarily alone, don't we?

So why's he come back here

all of a sudden?

I don't know, but he's got Cass and Fleur.

He mentioned the ocean.

- I'm going to go and see.

- Stella.

You stopped me before. Not this time.

The ocean is a closed zone.

It's also the place where all life starts.

I need to see for myself.

Mmm!

Mmm.

Eugh!

So this won't be embarrassing

He got us lost.

No way we was going to make it back

in the dark.

Did the right thing staying put.

And I'm sure everyone

will see it like that.

Jack's way too sensitive to take

the piss out of us for it

We're still a bit lost.

Feels much better

in the daytime, though.

Did you sleep well, officers?

The ground was not too hard for you?

I could hear you grumbling for ages.

Still, if it helps...

...you did the sensible thing.

Why did you lead us out here?

Well, we needed daylight

for where we're going.

Take us back to Forthaven now.

I can show you more than diamonds.

Come on.

And I can show your arse

the end of my foot.

Bodies.

What bodies?

Come and see. Not far from here.

We should go back,

find out who he is first.

Well, let's just see

what these bodies are.

He's leading us

on a wild-goose chase, Cass.

Oh, what? You don't think

we're a match for him?

Come on! Where's your spirit of adventure?

Jack.

Where do you think you're going?

We have a problem.

- Well, two, actually.

- "We"?

You know that man from the bar last night

who was throwing diamonds around?

Yeah, I'm looking forward

to round two with the Ice Man.

Yeah, well, while he was distracting you

with precious stones,

you didn't happen to work out

his identity?

- Who is he?

- I think it might be Patrick Baxter

from the advanced landing party.

- Where is he?

- Outside the perimeter.

We need to track him down.

- "We"? You got no expeditionary skills.

- Jack, please, I need your help.

Why do you wanna come so bad?

He's got Cass and Fleur.

If they're with him,

then they're in big trouble.

Let's go.

Right, I've had enough of this.

He said close by.

You, Rip Van Winkle,

stop or I'll shoot both your legs off.

Be nice to me.

I'm your way home, remember?

Never been here before. We're heading

to the closed zone, aren't we?

And we're not going into it. You!

I'm detaining you

for three code violations.

Scared?

If it's full of radiation, yes, cos I've

got quite fond of my hair and skin.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Beats his, that's for sure.

Don't listen to the XPs.

They know nothing.

How did I survive so long here?

It would help maybe if you told us

a few simple things,

- like who you are, what you do and...

Oh, dear!

Looks like we've got a situation.

Greed, materialism,

the root of all evil.

When humans lose

their reverence for mystery,

it's quickly replaced by pointless lust

for base metals and trinkets.

Please stop coveting

these meaningless items.

You can turn your attention

to the Universal Spirit

who brought us all here

in the first place.

I see your congregation is growing.

Many have tried to suppress faith,

Richard. All have failed.

Some friends on the Council

feell should now be given a portfolio.

Let me guess.

You don't want it for yourself,

but the pressure will force you to accept.

Public welfare.

- That portfolio doesn't exist.

- Exactly.

Sounds to me like a catch-all phrase

to allow you to stick your nose in

wherever you want.

Only when it concerns the public welfare.

You really should stop scowling, Richard.

You'll age prematurely.

Oh...

you really should try working on

your inner harmony.

Let's hope your boyfriend's around

to help us if this goes wrong.

Rudi's not my boyfriend.

Don't tell them that.

Say you're ready to make like his squaw.

Might be our last bargaining chip.

This is helping, is it? With the fear.

So...

...we can pass,

if I carry the guns.

It's OK, we don't want to pass.

Let's go back.

No, no.

That option is not on the menu,

not any longer.

Did you set this up?

I've stayed with them. They're OK.

They trust me.

I'm your safe passage.

You get the weapons back

when we're out of sight.

You can trust me...

- ...most of the time.

- No!

What did you do that for?

Where you're going,

you won't need guns.

Where's your spirit of adventure

right now?

He's heading towards the coast.

It's toxic out there.

Well, maybe he knows

something we don't.

Those early surveys

were hardly exhaustive.

- Why's Baxter come back?

- No idea.

- What's he want?

- No idea.

Where's he going with Cass and Fleur?

I refer you to answer one.

I see why they gave you

the job of top cop.

Look, I... I just can't understand

why you'd kill your friend and CO.

I mean, I know every now and again

I get the urge to strangle Riley here.

He's pig-ugly,

not exactly the full ticket,

but then I remember, you know,

he's a really good tracker.

Probably got a mum out there

somewhere that loves him.

Listen, Baxter was the first man

down here.

Yeah, that's what turned him

into a psycho.

Suppose it would be stupid to ask you

to take us back now.

Two of you. An old and crazy man.

You're free to go now, if you want.

You know we're not.

I can see you thinking...tick-tock!

What are you thinking?

Where are you taking us?

What are those bodies you spoke about?

How this is all going to end.

Are you worried?

I don't have a gun.

- I could have kept one.

- Yeah.

That's what I'm worried about.

You must want us to come with you

pretty badly, then.

I listen to my body.

I know what it is telling me.

This is my last journey.

I am taking you to Paradise.

You can be Adam and Eve.

What's the reading?

- Good.

- It's OK, actually.

Seems like he's plotting a path

through the radiation hot spots.

- You been here before?

- Nope.

You been to the sea?

I refer you to answer one.

Mitchell said the whole coast

was a radiation danger.

Mitchell often lied to us.

You dealt with him wrong.

You and Tate.

Did we?

You look down on people too much.

It makes enemies.

Well, if not allowing you to behave

like a bunch of deranged cowboys...

- Down!

You see those rocks?

We're gonna run over there.

Keep going in a zigzag.

They'll be aiming for me,

so if they get you,

it'lljust be good luck.

- Good luck?

- For them, obviously. Run!

You any good with one of these?

Just point it at the nearest mutant

and pull the trigger.

Like that?

We scared 'em off.

What shall we do now?

Well, we either wait till I think

they've gone or we wait till it gets dark.

What's up? It's normally mobbed

at this time.

Everyone's outside the gates

looking for diamonds.

People keep hassling,

cos they know I've got one.

It's going crazy.

Water's all funny, cos half the

maintenance teams have downed tools

and headed for the hills.

Of all the things

that might have turned up,

it's gotta be something

that only ever caused trouble.

XP patrols are to prevent anybody

outside the perimeter

from going further than the scrubland.

PAS officers are to crack down hard

on anybody

using any alternative currency

to the normal distribution system.

We need food and light and heat.

We do not need worthless stones.

Sometimes I imagine I can see Earth.

We can see the sun.

Do you know where?

23 degrees east of north.

I used to know where to find it.

Nope. Can't remember now. Which way is it?

Over there.

You were a flight pioneer.

Part of the advanced landing party.

Was.

The first man...

...to land on Carpathia

was called Patrick Baxter.

It's you.

You know nothing.

So tell us, then.

The first creature from Earth

to set foot on Carpathia

was an AC by the name of Tigger 99.

He was bred specifically for the purpose.

All the data said

that it was hospitable down here.

But somebody had to actually...

...put down their foot.

Tigger 99 went in first.

They'd bred the fear out of him.

He had no regrets...

...no fears.

He danced down here for us.

We gave him 20 minutes,

then I followed him in.

Three hours later he was dead.

They'd failed to update his immune system.

He was Carpathia's first foot.

Caught a cold and died in a single day.

Then what happened?

And they left me...

...alone.

And I watched him die.

And I spent the next 24 hours

with his corpse.

And I realised...

...that the planet didn't want us.

Is it true that you went crazy

and killed your CO?

Took off on your plane?

Even though you knew

flight was impossible here?

Best if you shut up now.

They say you beat him to death.

You were best man at his wedding.

I'm sorry.

Lucky he had no family.

He was a good tracker, though.

Are you?

Not as good as Riley.

Good enough.

D'you think they've gone?

Yeah, but not far.

If we don't hit 'em hard,

we're gonna have a guerrilla army

on our backs the whole time.

Well, that's the thing

with guerrilla wars.

You hit them, they hit you back,

it just goes on and on.

Not if you take out their leader.

Why are you here?

The coast.

What?

If this ends up at the coast,

I want to be there.

What's at the coast

other than radioactive sea?

The sea is the place that will tell me

where life started on Carpathia.

Stella, you think too much.

You need to think less.

That will make life much easier.

Mm?

We should go, Cass.

I don't trust him at all.

I don't know.

No weapons, completely lost,

surrounded by ACs in the middle

of a radioactive zone.

He's a killer. He beat his commanding

officer to death for no reason.

He hasn't told us the reason.

What if he won't take us back to Forthaven

after he's shown us these bodies?

We have to stay friendly.

Build a relationship.

He's crazy. He could flip out any minute.

That's how it makes me

almost sorry for him.

All these stories but nobody to talk to.

It scares me. The way he talks

about the planet not wanting us.

This is our home.

He has brought us safely

through the closed zone.

Do you know what lies at the end of it?

I know.

I've sometimes thought that I can hear it.

Waves crashing on the beach.

I'd love to see the sea again.

D'you agree, though?

We stay?

I guess we have no choice.

Richard, you've ordered a lockdown?

At this rate our essential services

will grind to a halt.

And it's not safe out there.

I've even seen people taking their kids.

Oh, I agree.

More than happy to speak to the people

directly and back your decision.

Last time I let you speak, you used it

to launch a public prayer session.

Well, this time you wouldn't be

letting me, exactly.

I am a full Council member.

I'll be sitting with my finger

on the button.

I hear the words "universal" or "spirit",

I'll cut you off straightaway.

What? You want me to promise?

Come on, Richard.

This is one type of materialism

whose corrupting influence

we can both agree upon.

This is it, isn't it? Where you came down.

Is this your ejector seat?

I thought that I saw the sea.

The navigation systems went haywire and...

...right off the dial.

Threw me into a tailspin.

Bang!

Hit eject.

I got thrown clear.

I was still alive.

Couldn't move.

Both my legs were shattered.

How d'you survive?

I got free of this seat

and just lay there.

Nobody was coming for me.

This planet doesn't want us.

But here we are...building for the future.

I'll show you your future...

...before I die,

and then I'll tell you the way home.

Don't want to die alone, do you?

For all your pride

about living alone out here...

...you want human beings

around you when you go.

I can hear the ocean.

I'm nearly home.

President Tate has ordered

the lockdown enclosure

of the perimeter fence.

I know this may seem draconian

and even authoritarian,

but his measure was fully supported

by General Council.

They named you poorly, Julius.

Much more of the Mark Antony about you.

We have allowed greed

and avarice to return,

distracting us from the beautiful task

we're undertaking.

I urge us all to re-evaluate,

to look inside ourselves.

Light does not lie in precious stones.

It resides in each and every one of us.

The gleam and the glimmer

of our human souls.

They knew I had a diamond from the bar.

Thieving savages.

This is Berger's fault.

How? He's been denouncing

the whole diamond craze.

And keeping people aware of it

at the same time.

Two-faced and dangerous.

You're exaggerating.

Wake up!

He's slithering towards power.

He'll try and get rid of Tate

and your mum.

Then things here will be very different.

After I crashed I could not move.

Could not find shade or water.

I lay down and waited to die.

What happened?

My dog found me.

Your dog?

Golden retriever.

It brought me wood to splint my legs,

herbs to eat,

water in my canteen,

told me not to give up.

You had a fever!

You were hallucinating.

She was a dog.

Her name was Molly.

She left me a couple of years ago.

Well, cheer up!

At least imaginary friends can't die.

Everything can die.

Everything that exists can die,

but there are no dogs on Carpathia.

Your way of thinking is wrong.

Your way of seeing.

You'll never understand this place

thinking like you do.

Home.

No, can't go this way.

Rad's going crazy.

It's right off the dial.

Well, that way, then.

I guess so,

but it's not the way to the sea.

But there's no other way through,

though, is there?

Maybe it doubles back

through the peaks, I don't know.

These bloody flies!

They're like horseflies,

attracted to blonde hair, we've found.

Great!

Ow!

I told you!

Blonde hair and big brains.

You were asking for it, mate.

Ugh! It got me as well.

Must have been a PAS sympathiser.

Agh!

Jack...

Jack!

Jack! Where's your knife?

Where did it get you?

Let's have a look. OK, stay still.

God!

Breathe.

Adrenalin.

Move!

OK, just breathe.

Breathe.

OK?

- That's never happened before.

- No.

Insect bites can be like that.

- It's crazy.

- Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

Thank you.

Stay here. Don't go back.

We've got lives back there.

Good lives.

Memories, too.

So where are these bodies?

Come with me.

How did you know

where the radiation danger was?

What's your name?

Cass.

The planet told me, Cass.

Where's he going now?

Does he want us to swim after him?

I do appreciate that.

If you'll excuse me one second.

The perimeter lockdown

appears to be working.

Good.

I was just speaking

to the Head of Education.

Yeah, I saw that.

She seems amenable to my suggested

changes to the syllabus.

At the moment it's somewhat dogmatic

and non-embracing of competing theories.

This issue of your portfolio.

Yes, public welfare.

I'llveto it.

That's disappointing.

I thought I'd tell you personally.

Appreciate that.

Do you realise a two-thirds majority

on the Council will overturn your veto?

And I have no doubt you'll cultivate

your contacts in order to achieve that.

I'd rather not make your position

as President untenable.

That shtick won't work with me,

I'm afraid, Julius.

You've had removing me from office

your objective

since day one of your arrival.

I won't make it easy for you.

Never thought you would.

What are we gonna do now?

Let the sea take him.

We don't know where we are.

The sea's rising.

He said it would take the beach back.

What are we gonna do, Cass?

Head out, I guess.

We'll get lost.

Well, we can't stay

on a disappearing beach, can we?

Not so magical now, is it?

Come on.

Where are they?

Are we safe here?

Reading's dropped to practically zero.

Bingo!

What's that?

It's a time machine.

Where are they?

What's he done with them?

This isn't the way.

We didn't come this way.

You're right, but I don't understand,

cos it wasn't the other way, either.

- Wh... What is it?

I didn't see. I didn't see.

Some sort of snake.

Oh! There's no snakes here.

Really?

Well, maybe it was

a golden bloody retriever, then

We should go back to the beach.

Oh, good idea. We'll wait till dark,

then use the stars for navigation.

- Can you?

- Don't be stupid, course I can't.

Well, at least at the beach

we can try and work out what to do

without getting even more lost.

- What was that?

It came from the ocean.

That, my girl, is a standard issue

orange parachute flare,

as commonly used

by our beloved colleagues

from the expeditionary base.

- Shall we?

- Right.

Nice.

Stella!

Fleur!

Are we glad to see you!

Must have been a hard journey.

Not really.

You know the way back?

Course I know the way back.

I'm an expeditionary.

Where's Baxter?

Guess his heart gave out.

Why did he bring you

all the way out here?

Knew he was dying.

Didn't want to be alone at the end.

Said he was going

to show us our future.

The bodies he mentioned,

did he say where they were?

He was going to show us.

Time ran out on him.

You give me a few moments.

I need to look around.

Sea's coming in, Stella.

She'd better hurry up.

I wanna get home.

Stella!

Stella!

We gotta go.

The beach is disappearing. Hurry!

- What are they?

- It's a family.

Father, mother, child.

Fossilised.

- The bodies.

- Cass! Cass!

- Wasn't a fantasy.

- Come on! Come on!

Look, come on. We've got to go.

We're gonna get cut off.

Look, it's coming in fast back there.

Do you wanna take them?

Maybe we should.

No. They're a family. We'll leave them.

Come on!

So, how old, do you reckon?

I don't know.

But...were they humans

or were they...?

I refer you to answer one.

Here's the thing, though.

You've found fossils of...whatever.

Homo, octopus,

whatever you want to call it.

What we've seen here alive isn't more

advanced than the fly that bit me.

Yup.

- I'm no scientist, but...

- Really?

...but wouldn't you expect there to be

more-complicated species

running around?

Not trees, flies and a few birds.

I mean, where have they all gone?

Patrick Baxter said we didn't

understand Carpathia yet.

We didn't know how to look properly.

- What's that?

ACs.

Nothing.

Maybe that snake you saw

It could have been a snake.

You know we have to deal

with the ACs.

I'm not gonna let them get away

with what they did to Riley.

Morning, everybody.

This is Radio Free Carpathia here

to remind you that diamonds

are not forever, actually.

Now, I'm no fan of rules

and regulations,

but I'm glad they locked

the gates for a while.

Only place for a diamond is

in the needle that makes the vinyl sing.

That was crazy.

Like a dream.

But it's real.

I can still smell the salt on my skin.

Yeah.

Seas are like that.

You're back.

I'm pleased.

How uncharacteristically

effusive of you.

Still think I'm crazy?

I never said that.

Maybe we need to redefine
