Original subtitles

I made my daughter a deal.

I'd order the ballet shoes

she'd been asking for

if she signed up for the classes.

Then, one day,

she never came home.

She was 5 years old.

Mrs. Thomas, I think

there's been a misunderstanding.

I'm looking for information

on the '63/70.

This was 1963.

President Kennedy

had just launched

the advanced education.

Initiative.

That's how my daughter

got in the program.

It was for gifted children.

I feel for your loss,

but I'm looking for

the 70 scientists

that went

missing in 1963,

not children.

Wait! Please!

The names of the missing

scientists on your website,

they're the same ones

who taught the program.

The man in the jacket?

Abraham enzmann.

He ran it.

He said my daughter

had a bright future.

But she didn't.

She didn't have

any future at all.

I learned over the years

that a dozen other kids in

the same program went missing.

It's pretty.

Lorelei!

Christa, are you ok?

I was dreaming

about Lorelei.

Oh! You miss her.

We all do.

She's with the angels now.

Is that what

you're drawing? Angels?

No, that's icarus and

his father daedalus.

He built the labyrinth

to hold a monster inside.

Shouldn't you be in the

clinic? It's inoculation day.

I don't want a shot.

If you don't get inoculated,

you could get sick.

You wouldn't want

that, would you?

I'll tell you what.

I'll go with you.

Would that make you feel better?

What's wrong, christa?

I'm scared.

Something bad's coming.

You cremated Lorelei Wright's

remains before an autopsy?

Standard procedure.

We have no morgue, and besides,

the murder had been resolved.

What about the gun?

Stored with all the other

detritus ejected from the ship.

Pure grain alcohol!

The drink of choice

on the lower decks.

It's stronger

than paint thinner.

Reminds of high school.

I'm gonna need the original

manifest to cross-reference

with the gun and the

sporting-goods stores.

It's a waste of time.

Every person, package and

piece of equipment was searched

prior to boarding,

and nothing from

outside is allowed in.

That's right. It's a billion-dollar.

Sociological

experiment, right?

There have been

ancillary benefits,

and they underwrite

the program,

but ascension has

always been about more.

The originals were

determined to save mankind.

The '63/70? Is that

what they called them?

The original crew?

I see you've been scouring

conspiracy-theory websites.

The idea that 70 scientists

mysteriously disappeared in 1963

suggests they

didn't volunteer.

Under false pretences.

Everyone operates

under false pretences.

Only for them, if they wonder

if there's some grand design,

some purpose

to their lives,

an overseer guiding

their destinies,

they're right.

And right now, he's wasting

his time talking to you.

Single file, ladies.

No shoes, no jewellery.

Remove any excess clothing.

If I don't make the cut,

I swear I'll space myself.

120, the acceptable

weight for a girl at 5'5".

However, you are

not that girl.

Next!

Like viondra hasn't seen

that trick a million times.

Are you even listening?

He only joined o.T.S.

To impress you.

That's not true.

James wants to do

more with his life

than work in water reclamation.

'Cause of you.

It's so West Side story.

He wants to cross the tracks

to be with his Maria.

Next!

Presley delon, 19.

Congratulations.

You're in.

Cheer up.

They always need somebody

to clean the officer latrines.

That is your specialty,

isn't it, Decker?

Do we have a problem here?

No, sir.

Good. Move along.

Not you.

Ten more laps.

He starts it,

and I get punished?

You're not the only

one from the lower 40s.

If you wanna make the cut,

you have to rise above guys like that.

We had a deal.

O.t.s. For Lorelei's tape.

That's it.

I didn't ask for a mentor,

and I don't want one.

You're busy.

Nora didn't

come with you?

She's coming. She said

she has something to do.

It seems like she

always does these days.

Since you're here...

Nora's growing up.

She has to make her own choices.

Doesn't mean

I have to approve.

Oh, that didn't hurt,

did it?

Captain! Your wife

is expecting me.

The weigh-ins are today.

Maybe I should stop by and check out the new recruits.

Why? You have the best

ass on the ship right in front of you,

and god knows how many other

girls vying for your attention.

Aw, don't tell me

you're jealous.

I can't help but feel

a little ownership.

I'm risking a lot.

The only risk you're taking

is claiming ownership.

You're an oasis.

Don't spoil it.

Wait.

I'm not done with you yet.

Excuse me.

It's gonna be fine, christa.

Nora, I need your help

calibrating this thing!

I... I can't ask again.

It takes a while to learn.

Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Thanks. My dad would kill me

if I lost this apprenticeship.

Nobody in my family's ever worked.

In the upper decks before.

Don't worry, ike.

You'll be fine.

Are you ready?

One brave girl

ready for her shot.

Relax, christa,

this won't hurt a bit.

No, please. I don't want it!

I won't do it!

Christa! Christa, calm down, calm down.

Look, I'll go first.

Ophelia, no!

I've been taking them

all my life. Look!

See? I didn't

feel a thing.

No, please!

I don't want it!

It's poison! Poison!

Christa, just look at me

and focus on my voice.

There is nothing

to be scared of.

Ophelia?

Nora, help me turn her over.

It's okay.

Shit! What are

we gonna do?

What the hell are

you doing to these people?

It's okay.

Turn her over. Let's go.

Saving their lives.

Artificial circadian light cycles,

recycled air, repetitive diets,

they wear on the immune system.

The shots are

merely inoculations.

Then what

happened to Ophelia?

An allergic reaction

when she took the shot meant for christa.

They're customized to

each individual crew member's needs.

Carrillo!

Yeah.

Then how did she know that

someone was gonna get poisoned?

Dr. Enzmann,

how did she know?

How's Ophelia?

Weak. Dr. Bryce

is running more tests.

She's a fighter.

She'll pull through.

There's a rumour spreading that

the inoculations were poisoned.

You know how people

talk on this ship.

Exactly.

Soon they'll be questioning food safety.

And about a hundred other regulations.

It's just what the saboteurs want.

We don't know

they had anything to do with this, captain.

Dr. Bryce says it could've

been an allergic reaction.

Maybe, but I want security logins added.

And a safety officer posted

in the medical centre.

Yes, sir.

It's my fault Ophelia's sick.

She came with me

because I was scared.

Why? You've had shots before.

I saw a man in white gloves

put something in the shots.

When did this happen?

In a dream.

Dreams aren't real, christa.

Mine are.

I dreamt there was something

wrong with the shots,

and there was.

Tell me about

the man you saw.

His face was blurry,

but I knew he was death.

I've seen him before.

Where?

In the tunnels with Lorelei.

Another dream?

That one came true, too.

Was it Stokes?

No, the man in the white

gloves is still on the ship.

We are the Shepherds of the flock,

guardians of the birth list.

We vow to give ourselves,

body and soul, to our calling.

We are wife, mother

and caregiver to all.

Enough formality.

Now for the fun!

Congratulations!

From the candy

store, ladies.

Take anything you want.

You'll love it!

It's so much fun!

You're late, Jackie.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Denninger.

I had a last-minute appointment.

It's just one of the best things.

It feels really good.

Congratulations!

No! Please! I don't want it!

It's poison!

You see that?

Her pupillary reaction.

Amazing!

Christa's 16 hours overdue.

Blood pressure, pulse,

respiratory all elevated.

How long

do we have?

Last test subject with similar

genetic markers to christa's

was Mitchell bowman back in '83.

The doctor gave him a shot

with the wrong compound.

Here.

That's him after 52 hours.

Metabolic system

out of control,

immune system

attacking itself.

And... 72 hours.

We can't let the same

thing happen to christa.

Track the video.

I want a complete record.

And find a way to give

the girl her shot.

It's poison! Poison!

Hello?

Your conspiracy

website is shit!

Who is this?

I wanna meet.

Excuse me, honey.

What the hell is this?

Three sessions with

the resource committee,

6 hours with the council?

You used to be better at

helping me avoid this nonsense.

And you used to be more discreet.

Guerlain mitsouko.

A lovely scent.

It's Jackie's.

She's a distraction,

that's all.

The liquor, cigars, caviar,

those are distractions.

Sex is so much more.

It's the true currency on this ship.

The information my girls gather.

Keeps you in the captain's chair.

And yet you're unable to find out.

Which one of my officers

is spying for Rose.

I can endure anything

but secrets between us.

Don't undermine me

with my girls, will.

My great uncle was

one of the '63/70,

a defence contractor with lockheed.

When his car went off a bridge.

No body was ever found.

What's so hard

to believe about that?

Dr. Fritz lieber,

lost at sea,

February '63.

Renowned physicist

Alfred bester,

caught in a lab

explosion, may of '63.

5 nuclear engineers died in

a plane crash a week later.

The list goes on and on.

70 in all.

Who's to say they didn't choose to disappear?

Maybe they owed back taxes

or ran off with a mistress?

Yeah, you're right.

They could've.

But the kids didn't

have a choice.

They used Kennedy's advanced.

Education initiative as cover

to abduct children

from their parents.

Yeah, you know what?

Stick with the lizard people.

It's more believable.

Why did you call if you

don't wanna talk to me?

Obviously, it was a mistake.

Why would a nobel prize winner

travel around the country,

secretly enrolling 6-year-olds

into an education program?

I spoke with one of the parents.

She's been looking for

her daughter for 50 years

because of this man,

Abraham enzmann.

He's the key.

You know who he is,

don't you?

I went over the tapes,

and on the day of the incident,

christa didn't speak to anyone

other than Ophelia.

I did notice, however,

she always had

a glass of milk with her dinner.

Only this time,

it'll have a little

something extra.

There's no way she can know

there's a camera there.

Sometimes a more direct

approach is required.

We're gonna need to use

our man on the inside.

How are we today,

councilman gombrovich?

The councilman had to reschedule.

Mind if I take her place?

Of course not,

Mrs. Denninger.

Mmm!

Mmm! You have a gift.

I can see why

you're in high demand.

When you first came

to the stewardesses,

you were an awkward girl

with bad skin and lisp.

But I saw the

ambition in your eyes.

You reminded me of myself.

I'm flattered.

I knew you

would go far,

perhaps, one day,

even succeeding me as head stewardess.

I was mistaken.

I understand your interest

in my husband, Jackie.

Power is an aphrodisiac.

Mrs. Denninger...

I don't begrudge

William his indulgences.

What I cannot abide

is disloyalty.

Viondra, I don't know

what you've heard...

I'm relieving you

of your duties.

You'll be assigned

housing on the lower decks.

Remove your belongings

from the dorm before they're discarded.

Where are you going?

Finish the massage first.

It's a needle in a haystack.

Hundreds of inoculations to test,

and I have no idea

what we're looking for.

Do you think christa's right?

Is there any way the shots

could've been tampered with?

I don't see how.

The only access is in the medical centre.

What about

your apprentice?

Ike?

He's a little green,

but he's a good kid.

Have you always used blue

gloves in the medical centre?

Yes.

Christa has had difficulty.

Differentiating

dreams from reality.

Take what she says

with a grain of salt.

You can go in

if you like.

It might do

her some good.

It's okay.

Repetto. Repetto.

Repetto. I hear you.

Repetto! Repetto!

Juliet? Juliet!

Ike, we need to intubate!

Help me hold her down.

Ike!

You wanted to see me?

The original manifest.

Why the change of heart?

When I was a boy, I didn't

trade baseball cards.

I studied the names

on the list.

I knew their

biographies

the way other kids

knew batting averages.

Some gave up fame,

others riches.

Some even gave up

their families.

When you look into the

names on that list,

remember what they sacrificed.

That's very moving.

You're sure you're not giving

me this to keep me busy?

With my nose in a file,

I'm less likely to see

what's right in front of me.

We're not gonna

be friends.

I know that.

But it's possible we

have a common enemy.

Whoever brought

a gun on ascension

put everyone else at risk.

I wanna know

who it was.

We have to sit down and talk things over.

That's the only way we're going

to understand each other.

That's the only way

we're going to get along.

I'm sorry, Mary.

I shouldn't have lost my temper.

You know how it is. Sometimes

we say things we don't mean.

It's all my fault,

dad, about the dress.

I guess I should've spoken

to you and mom first.

Yes, maybe

we were all a little hasty.

It's my fault!

It's nobody's fault.

Things happen,

then they get out of hand.

You've forgotten,

but I haven't.

When you were a little boy,

you sometimes did things that I didn't approve of.

Seems to be more

problems today than...

Stay with her.

Kill the lights.

Seal the doors.

Open!

Leave me alone!

Did you see that? Yes.

The lights!

She's fascinating.

Just as my father predicted.

Christa?

What's wrong?

Christa, you're bleeding!

It's not my blood.

It's his!

Damn it!

Son of a bitch.

We're comparing the blood on christa's dress.

To the samples in

the database.

It's gonna take a while.

I can't believe that someone

on this ship attacked a child.

I want christa to stay in

the medical centre for now.

No one gets near her

until we find this guy.

Captain, christa's

white blood-cell count is dangerously high.

She needs an inoculation,

but she's refusing to take it.

Maybe I can talk to her.

She trusts me.

I appreciate your

help on this, Robert.

You and Juliet are our best hope

to catch him. Thank you.

Captain, I looked over

the medical records.

Ophelia was never logged

in for the inoculations.

That shot was always

meant for christa.

Do you think this is one

of the missing children?

Her name's Ophelia.

She's the right age, the right description.

Where did you get this?

Is this government?

There's not a lot

I can tell you.

I need to know

about these children,

what's so special about them.

That's what I've been

trying to figure out.

They just seem like normal kids.

I know more about the scientists.

Enzmann's rocket jockeys.

They're more than just

astrophysicists and engineers.

There were biologists,

philosophers, fertility doctors,

even geneticists.

Genetics?

DNA had just been

discovered a decade before.

I've met their parents.

They think that they're all dead.

If they're alive, they need to know.

This is a waste of time.

I don't even know if it's them.

I can get tissue samples from the living relatives.

If you get one from the

children, we can test the DNA.

It's impossible.

There's no way that I can get to them.

Even remains?

Anything will do,

a hair, bones, even teeth.

Fine wines,

makeup, perfume.

You name it, they have it.

Don't tell James.

He'd have a fit.

The position comes

with privileges.

Would he say no if you

were offered a better cabin?

He might.

He's pretty stubborn.

He's crazy.

I'd rather live in

the stewardesses dorm

than the lower

40s any day.

Hey!

Luminous pink.

Viondra gave it to me.

This is your chance

to have fun.

Once the computer

matches you,

it's forever.

You look so Monroe.

Rawles!

Are you coming to the

officer's lounge tonight?

Well, that depends.

Will you two be there?

It's Presley's

stewardess debut.

Oh, well, then I'm in.

Nice colour.

I'll see ya.

I'm totally gonna need

that lipstick back.

Councilman Rose.

Yes? Can I speak to you?

Well, of course.

Excuse me.

The council rejected

a transfer request I submitted.

Oh, for Jackie. Yes.

I thought that might be

something of a sticking point.

Well, it doesn't have to be.

You're not the only one with

friends on the council, viondra.

Jackie's friends would prefer

that she stay where she is.

I can't have someone living

in the stewardess dorm

who isn't a stewardess.

Mm-hmm.

Then hire her back.

Viondra, you're

looking rather tense.

Perhaps we should

schedule another massage?

Christa, shouldn't you

be getting to bed soon?

I don't wanna sleep.

I used to have bad dreams

when I was your age, too.

But then Ophelia

told me a secret

and the nightmares went away.

What was it?

To hold onto a single

thought as I fell asleep.

Then, no matter how

scary things became,

I could focus on it and

everything would be better.

What did you think about?

My mother's laugh. She could

light up a room with it.

Can you think

of something?

Seahorses.

Good! Seahorses, then.

Dr. Bryce is worried

you might be getting sick.

You want me to

get my shot, don't you?

We all have to take them.

It's important.

But how about when it's time

for you to take your shot,

you think about those seahorses?

What are you

doing in here?

Didn't think my flask

would make it past security.

It wouldn't have.

I've tried.

Sometimes, I wish we had

our own officer's lounge.

You know, maybe they don't

really have it that bad.

You're starting to

sound like enzmann.

Yeah, you know,

enzmann leans on you a lot.

He likes to give orders,

but he has no idea how hard

it is to get things done.

And believe me, he will

rain down holy hell

if you don't do it

exactly how he wants it.

It's just the way the world works.

Enzmann's world!

To the right-hand man!

Congratulations, Presley!

You were wonderful.

Have you met councilman Rose?

That was terrific!

And you, my dear,

are a vision. Mmm!

It's hard to believe

you only just started.

I'm looking forward to

watching you develop.

Councilman Rose?

Yes, sweetie.

The others are waiting.

It was very nice

meeting you. Viondra.

I see a bright

future for you.

Enjoy your evening.

You have a lot to celebrate.

Oh, my god! Presley,

you were so good!

Thank you!

Something to quench your thirst?

Join us!

It's only a drink, unless

you want it to be more.

You know what I mean?

Hi, christa? Hi!

I just came to

give you your shot.

Where's Juliet?

Well, she had to go

back to our cabin,

so she asked me to do it.

Well, I changed my mind.

I don't want it.

You told my wife you saw

a man in white gloves.

He put something into

the shots. Is that right?

Did you get a

good look at him?

It's okay.

You can tell me.

What did you tell Juliet about

the man in the white gloves?

I can't.

Come on, tell me.

What did you see?

I saw it all.

Two towers falling

from the sky,

and a war in the

desert that never ends,

and a woman in pink holding

her husband's head together.

And you! I saw you in

the maintenance tunnels

where Lorelei was killed!

I saw you! I saw you!

Shh, shh, shh!

It's just a dream.

The stage 3 additive,

plus an amnestic additive

have been successfully

administered.

So, you roofied a 12-year-old.

Will she remember anything?

She told Juliet she had a dream,

something about seahorses.

Go ahead with the

subjects 22, 65 and 110.

Harris, she knew things

she couldn't possibly know...

9/11, Kennedy.

She's what we've been working towards, isn't she?

I don't know

what she is,

but she's the best

chance we have.

She was so young.

I'm sorry, Aaron.

When she first took me in,

I was so angry,

at the world,

at this ship, everything.

It never occurred to me

how much she lost in the fire.

You were there

for each other.

I wanted to call her mom.

I wanted to tell her

that I loved her,

but I never did.

She knows.

I can't lose

anyone else, em.

Aaron!

You'd be stripped of your rank,

sent back to the lower decks.

I'd lose my job,

never get approved

for the birth list.

It would be the end of everything.

I don't care!

I do, Aaron!

I don't wanna spend the rest

of my life like that.

Did you see that?

She walked out of frame,

and now she's back.

There she is, leaving.

And there she is

at the piano.

Someone cut

something out.

Mr. Gault.

We've got a match

on the blood sample.

It's ike messmer,

Juliet's apprentice.

Ike messmer, open the door!

It was him.

Cut him down.

Don't tell me.

You're gonna

investigate this one, too.

I watched the video

of Stokes getting blown

out of the airlock.

He tried to shoot gault,

but he didn't know how to work the safety.

He never fired a gun.

This is footage from the

stockyards the day of the storm.

Workers unloaded fresh bags

of grain in the morning,

yet, somehow, after the storm,

they found the gun in

one of those bags.

And your point?

Mr. Carrillo can't

locate the missing footage.

Let me take a wild guess

what he's hiding.

You have someone

inside ascension,

a right-hand man.

He planted the gun,

he tampered with the shots,

and I'd be willing to bet

that he killed ike

to cover his tracks.

You have a

wild imagination.

Is that how the ship

miraculously rights itself?

You play puppetmaster,

you stage radiation storms,

orchestrate crises.

What did you call yourself?

An overseer guiding

their destinies?

I read your file.

At least the part

that wasn't redacted.

You've done some dark

stuff for our patron,

but in truth, it didn't

tell me anything

that I couldn't see written

all over your face.

You're damaged goods.

The things you've done...

Can you even

sleep at night?

Oh, I do a lot

of scrapbooking.

Knowing the tc group like you do,

you should ask yourself:

What's more likely to be taken

out into a field and buried,

a multi-billion-dollar project

that's been going for 50 years,

or a washed out spook

that no one will mourn?

We searched ike messmer's quarters,

reviewed his stenotab,

talked to his friends.

Nothing indicates that he

was linked to the saboteurs.

Then why?

Guilt?

Apparently, he didn't

follow storage protocols

and one of the inoculation

vials got contaminated.

Doesn't add up, gault.

There's too many questions.

Look, captain,

he was depressed

about what happened to Ophelia.

You weren't born in the lower decks.

You don't know what it's like.

To lose your position, to lose status.

I can't believe this is just

individuals acting all alone.

It's too convenient.

People are imperfect, flawed.

They can rarely do anything that

doesn't end up in a royal mess,

myself included.

I've been

looking for you.

Well, here I am.

I can't help but

feel it's my fault.

Ike wouldn't have been working in the medical clinic.

If I hadn't quit.

It's not your fault.

He didn't wanna fall

back down the ladder.

It was just a job.

Not to him, not to

someone from the lower decks.

He wanted a new start.

Is that why you

joined the cadets?

Why didn't you come by

the officer's lounge?

I did. I saw you

with rawles.

There's nothing

between us.

If you wanna date an officer,

Nora, you should just do it,

instead of trying to make me one.

I never asked you to join cadets.

I never asked you to change.

You didn't have to.

I gotta get to work.

I'll see you later, okay?

Shh, shh, shh!

What's the matter, captain?

Afraid your

wife will hear?

You could stand to be

a little more careful yourself.

Don't worry,

I can handle viondra.

That's something

I'd like to see.

Oh, why not?

Councilman Rose has.

You could stand to be

a little less enthusiastic.

You really think she's been

spying for Rose this whole time?

Did you really believe she

was that enamoured with you?

Go clean yourself up.

I don't have any evidence.

We don't have any DNA.

We have nothing.

There must be something.

Is there anything at all

that you might have overlooked?

I will kill you all!

So, ariadne went to daedalus,

the architect of the labyrinth,

and begged his help.

Taking pity on her,

he told her the secret

to escaping the maze.

That's not true, Ophelia.

You're not dying.

You're just lost in

a maze like all of us.

But one day,

I'll lead us out.

I promise.

Let me out!
