Original subtitles

Med bay's not programmed for this. We have to do it manually.

- I've got it. - What is that?

Wires from the override device. We've got to get them out.

Guess I'm not dead, despite my best efforts.

- We're gonna bring him back. - Now, how did I get here?

- You need to kill me. - No.

We're not doing that.

I will kill all of you in a few seconds. Do it.

- Don't do this. - No, no!

I'm sorry.

- No! - Oh, no!

Oh, yeah.

SecUnit? Is it, um...

Uh, we have to get it to the habitat. See if we can fix it.

Fix me? Why'd I even bother to shoot myself?

- Yep. Got this. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- This thing is heavy. - It's not a thing. It's a person.

- Yes, I know. - I'm sorry. I can't.

This is just... It's really awful.

Arada, grab a weapon. We still don't know what else is out there.

- Okay. - We need to get out of here.

Pull.

Someone's coming.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are you doing? That is a DeltFall uniform!

Oh, no. I'm so... Are you okay?

- Don't shoot. Please help me. - All right.

Glad one of them's alive at least.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

That... That SecUnit that you just squished.

It just killed two of our units, and it did something to the other one.

And then it started shooting everyone.

Our SecUnit went rogue.

Hang on.

Wait, is that... Is that one alive?

Is that one alive?

I don't know, but it will not hurt you.

Not unless you're stupid enough

to take me to my repair cubicle and revive me.

Idiots.

They were doing everything they could to bring me back online,

and that was fucking stupid.

The moment I woke up, I'd kill them all.

My system wouldn't reboot because of the tendrils

the combat override module left in me.

Yeah, those guys.

I can do the extraction.

- Good luck with that. - You sure?

Yeah.

Oh, shit.

Wait. Who is that?

What's your name?

Leebeebee.

- "Leebee"? - Leebeebee.

Oh, Leebeebee. That's a beautiful name.

Where you from?

Industrial Junction 151523.

That sounds nice.

Sorry to ask, but do you have any idea

whose SecUnit that was that attacked your habitat?

No. I have no idea.

So, in order to save you,

your SecUnit shot itself?

Yeah, that was pretty heroic.

Our SecUnit was just, like...

It's like an episode of Rogue War: Tracker Infinite: Tribulation.

Terrible show.

It's a great show.

It wasn't its fault, the SecUnit. It didn't go rogue.

It was forced to attack your habitat. The question is, um, why?

I don't know.

I didn't know they have faces.

Yeah.

Wow.

I mean, to be honest, it's not unattractive.

Right.

Do you think it has a pee-pee?

I... I don't know. I think maybe you're in shock.

Guess it doesn't really need one.

Can you imagine if it did have one though?

And then could kind of go to any length you wanted it to.

Press the balls to vibrate.

And then kind of could turn or go in any sort of direction like a big worm.

And deep as you want. I don't know.

It's just something I can picture, but you probably haven't thought about that.

But maybe you have. I don't know.

No. I don't think I've ever thought about that.

So glad I was unconscious for this part.

As usual, the humans were being messy and emotional.

I think if we have a child, we should call it that.

Call it what?

SecUnit.

- SecUnit? - Yeah. Yeah, kind of like a tribute.

Who said anything about having a child?

Okay. This part was actually kind of entertaining.

That would be crazy. How do both of you feel about having children?

I mean, just because of all the... ...everything, right?

It kind of makes you think.

Uh, yeah, no. It makes me think, but maybe not about starting a family.

I just meant that, like, what SecUnit did,

I think we should honor that.

SecUnit is gonna be fine.

Here we go.

Huh. Maybe this hippie actually knew what she was doing.

Question. Is that a good idea? What if you just fix it and then it just kills us all?

Then we have to risk it. This SecUnit is our friend.

Hmm. Debatable.

Yeah, that's right. I'm friends with a SecUnit.

You're Corporation Rim, so you probably wouldn't even, like, get it, you know?

Are we sure this is the right thing to do?

Oh, sure it is.

If you want to risk all getting slaughtered.

Where are you people from?

Preservation Alliance.

We're a noncorporate planet with a communal governing system.

Oh, neat.

What are you doing on this shitty planet?

We have mineral and data options for this continent.

Oh, right. My bosses at DeltFall used to call you guys "the amateurs."

Pretty rude, but they weren't wrong.

Only amateurs would risk their lives to save a SecUnit.

Come here, baby.

- That's it. - Last one.

Got it.

Fantastic.

Now, remember to reboot me before you put me back online so I don't kill you all.

Ready to reboot.

Gurathin, I'm gonna need you to plug into its system.

Track for any bad code.

Oh, n... He's gonna do it?

Fuck.

He looks way too into this.

My job is to protect you from harm.

- Feel something's wrong. - Be calm.

Wait a second.

I'm out of med bay, and they are still alive. Nice.

It's awake.

Looking at their hopeful faces, I was glad I didn't murder them.

Mostly.

Why... Why isn't it moving?

'Cause I had HubSystem immobilize it from the neck down.

Why? There's no danger.

What's wrong, Gurathin?

As you know,

I have been noticing some anomalies with the SecUnit.

Uh-oh.

- And when I plugged into its system... - Uh-oh.

...the unit was already rogue.

It hacked its governor module.

It's rogue?

On the entertainment feed,

this is what they call an "Oh, shit" moment.

- Uh, okay. - It's gonna kill us. It's gonna kill us.

Calm down. It can't move.

It's probably observing us right now and plotting its next move.

I was.

Sort of.

No, no, no. Fuck this. Fuck this.

I'm out of here.

Okay. So what exactly does this mean, Gura?

Oh, I'll tell you what this means.

Either I'm dead or you're dead.

It doesn't have to follow our commands.

We have no control over its behavior.

I shared all of my data with Bharadwaj, and she agrees with me completely.

Bharadwaj. After all I did for you?

I don't agree with Gurathin.

Ha!

Uh, the governor module is working, then?

No, it's definitely hacked. It's a free agent.

A rogue, as they say.

But it's acting to preserve our lives, to take care of us nonetheless.

So all the more reason for us to trust it.

Isn't that what we objected to in the first place? Its lack of free will?

- Absolutely. - Free will to do what exactly?

We have been sabotaged since the moment we got here.

The missing hazard reports. The missing pieces of the map.

And I guarantee you, the number one suspect... SecUnit.

So unfair.

Probably what happened to DeltFall. It's connected somehow.

Oh, bullshit.

Somebody is sabotaging us, sure, but Seccy here had nothing to do with it.

Seccy?

It told us about the combat module. It told us to kill it.

Why? Why would it do that if it wanted to hurt us?

If the Company wanted to order SecUnit to kill us, we'd be dead by now.

The Company isn't trying to kill you.

Well, well, well. Look who found its voice.

You have some explaining to do.

SecUnit, how do you know that?

Because if they wanted you dead, they would poison your supplies

using the recycling system.

The Company has a financial interest in keeping you alive.

The financial payments for your deaths would be extremely high.

Gurathin, tell them how it spends its time.

That's what was originally concerning to you, right?

It's downloaded thousands of hours of entertainment programming.

Mostly serials. Mostly some show called Sanctuary Moon.

You don't know Sanctuary Moon?

I don't watch that crap.

It's probably using it to encode messages to send to the Company.

There's no way it watched that much without us noticing.

Hey, did you see the one where the colony solicitor

killed the terraforming supervisor who was the secondary donor of her implanted baby?

That's a damn lie. She didn't kill him.

She was framed by Bookkeeper Wittenmark. That little snake.

It's watching the show.

- That's literally such a deep cut. - So deep.

Season 19, episode four.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if we trust it.

We just have to keep it immobilized.

That won't work.

Oh, yeah?

- And why is that? - Stop!

Stop! Stop!

- Let him go! - SecUnit.

Because I hacked the command flow from HubSystem.

SecUnit, let Gurathin be. Please.

I don't like you.

You see? You see?

I was done.

As I understand it, you don't have to obey our orders or anybody's orders,

but that has been the case the entire time that we have been here.

I would like you to remain part of our group.

At least until we get off this planet

and to a place of safety.

At that point, we can discuss what you would like to do.

And I swear to you that I won't tell the Company,

or anyone else outside this room, anything about you or the hacked governor module.

Of course, she had to say that.

What else could she do?

And I said what I had to say.

Okay.

So that's it, huh?

Whatever happened to consensus, Mensah?

We'll reach it. Eventually.

SecUnit, I want you to promise me

that you will protect Gurathin as much as you protect all the rest of us.

I don't need its protection.

Why? HubSystem has seen all this.

HubSystem hasn't recorded any of this.

I just fed it an hour of mundane activity from the logs.

HubSystem may have been compromised by an outside agent.

You cannot trust it.

I suggest it's time to trigger the emergency beacon.

Yes. Yes, yes, I agree.

The DeltFall survivor kept looking at me strangely.

Like something out of the entertainment feeds.

Stop staring at me.

What? I wasn't.

I wasn't. Stop staring at me.

Stuck-up robot.

Leebeebee, did DeltFall attempt to launch its beacon?

DeltFall? I... I don't know.

They didn't tell me much.

That must have been so frustrating.

What was your job at DeltFall?

I was, uh, mostly maintenance and cleaning, you know?

Laundry.

They brought someone along to do laundry?

- That's disgusting. - Right?

I'm on a seven-year indenture to InterTrav Mining Solutions,

so I can't help it if I don't have a degree.

- I don't think you're disgusting. - No.

I meant the whole Corporation Rim,

with the whole indentured servitude thing. That's disgusting.

That's the thing that's gross?

- Quiet, please. - Ugh, thank you.

I can't reach the beacon.

Neither could I, and that was bad news.

Keep trying, Gura. Keep trying.

How does it work, the beacon?

Uh, it launches into orbit and sends an EM pulse through the wormhole

to summon help. In this case, a Company starship.

Well, how long does it take them to get here?

Uh, five days usually.

Five days? But what if whoever sent that thing to attack us at DeltFall

finds out where we are?

DeltFall's, like, an ocean away, so we're good.

- You're safe here. - Okay.

- Signal's still not going through. - I'll take the hopper to the beacon

and set it off manually.

Not on your own you won't. We are not about to trust you with our hopper.

- I'll go too. - Ayda.

I'm the best pilot.

Well, I am.

Everyone pack essentials, supplies for a week,

and when we get back, I suggest that we move into a more hidden area.

Get any possessions you wanna take with you together, and not too much.

We really have no idea how much the rescue ship will carry.

We weren't allowed to bring much in the first place anyway.

Listen, do you really think that this is wise?

We don't have much of a choice, do we?

Hey.

How's it going?

I just wanted to say that, um...

I've been talking to the team, and you do seem nice.

And, um...

well, I'm sorry that I said that you were gonna kill us.

It's just really hard to trust people sometimes.

Why was she getting so close to me?

Anyway...

It's all right. Sorry.

That was just for luck or whatever.

Melt me down now.

If, um, for some reason I don't make it back...

Please don't say that.

If for some reason I don't make it back, then Pin-Lee's first among equals.

Got it.

I'll analyze the data from the combat module override

and reboot HubSystem.

Maybe figure out why the heck all this is happening.

Thank you, Gura.

I'm glad that you are here.

Me too.

I think that...

- It's time to leave. - Oh, come on.

We should leave.

Yeah. Okay.

Gonna miss 'em, right?

Hmm.

- Anything I can help with? - I highly doubt it.

Well, I meant, do you want a stimulant or anything from the med kit?

- Crack it open, there's... - No.

No, no, thank you.

What is all this data?

Do you mind?

No problem.

I mean, I'm so proud of how they have been grown and how they are in the world.

Um, the youngest one especially just makes my heart...

For some reason, humans liked talking about their offspring.

Even if you didn't ask.

I mean, he's... They, uh, not my favorite, uh, of course,

I-I love them all. And one day, we'll be...

Two minutes and 30 seconds to the beacon.

You know what? If the Company didn't kill the people at DeltFall,

there has to be a third party involved.

Yes.

But how could they be here without the Company knowing?

The Company wouldn't arrange to have you killed.

Dead clients are terrible for their brand.

But someone might take money to conceal the existence of

a third party on the planet.

Why?

Because most humans are greedy bastards.

No argument there.

It was weird talking back and forth

in a way that wasn't just giving facts or receiving and confirming orders.

They did it on the serials all the time. I just hadn't done it myself before.

There was no sign of forced entry at DeltFall.

Maybe they knew the people who came, otherwise why would they let them in?

You would do it.

If another group of scientists showed up at the habitat,

said that they had just arrived on the planet and had an equipment failure,

you would let them right in without asking any questions.

Even if I told you not to.

Yeah. We can be a bit naive.

That must be so frustrating.

When they went to DeltFall, they told them they were us.

The people at DeltFall thought that they were... helping us.

Yes.

They pretended to be you so they could get in and kill everyone.

It's what I would do.

That's the beacon.

I'll try to launch it with a burst communication.

Maintain this distance.

It's not working. We'll have to reboot it by hand.

Can we do that?

Yes.

Land close by. I'll plug in and start the sequence.

All right. Taking it in for landing.

And be ready.

We will have four minutes to clear the area before the launch.

SecUnit, I want to talk about what happened earlier with Gurathin.

- Have you ever hurt a client before? - Wait.

We can talk about this.

Turn the hopper around now!
